So my phone is in hboot... it's s-off for sure.. I have flashed many roms and whatnot with no issues. So I reboot my phone today, and it boots to hboot screen.
I've tried to get it to go past but nada. It checks for SD card then i can't select recovery or anything..
Also I thought I got an ATT stock img, was just going to try to redo it or whatnot, put that on roo, and it gets stuck parsing..
Any help would be appriciated.
Also... It's almost like the volume down is stuck on, because it seems to function and then won't let me move after it scans for SD IMG.
Did it just reboot into hboot on its own or did you put a pd98img on it and now it is stuck?

If you have an image on card do the following. Take out sd. Boot into hboot. Scroll down to recovery but don't press. Put sd back in and then select recovery. If there is a pd98img it won't let you do anything except flash the image. If its corrupt than it won't do anything.
Always remove pd98img from card after using. Hboot menu is inaccessible with a pd98img on sd card.

Took SD card out.. Still booting to that hboot ya know with the fastboot, recovery, simlock, ect.
Can't move on the menu once booted.
And it got stuck on htc sense. Basically pulled battery then my phone had a bad day.
Like gizmoe said pd98img file will cause like 90% of boot loop
Or if you have a card reader just use that to delete the pd98 file

So my phone won't boot even with the SD card not in it... and it happened before I put that img on the root.
You've got to have an IMG on there. Find a way to delete it and you'll be good.

Did you try putting card back in before moving through hboot menu? Just leave it out while entering hboot and it will skip the file check and then put sd back in. Then try to make a selection.

Why don't you just get a SD reader, delete the IMG and move on? AT&T will notice the S-Off and won't fix it. The Service Center will.

They will definitely notice and will not honor your warranty. Sounds like hboot became corrupt somehow. If you have a card reader you could try using genepooles s-on tool. You might still be able to run a pd98img. That way you will be s-on and can send it in.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
so I'm still playing with it... It looks like it gets stuck on parsing, then I can hit down to cancel, but thatssss about it.
so I fixed it... the method for this fix is quite complex but it worked for me.
1. Got an otterbox.
2. Enclosed phone in otterbox.
3. Got really ticked off and threw the phone at the wall.
4. Now it's working .
Really I think the issue was with the volume down key, and me chunking the phone must have rattled something right.. If only I could get duct tape involved somewhere this would truely be a legit fix.
Also thanks the people that replied really did reach out to help.. Cheers mates!
quick reply on this.. so the volume key is still a factor in this thing... Due to this I my phone is booting in a "Safe Mode" so I'm going to see what options I have to put it in an S-ON and install AT&T stock rom,,, doing this I would hope the engineers that diagnose the phones won't see the previous root.
So if anyone has any suggestions while I navigate the boards for a s-on / AT&T stock rom let me know...
Only hiccup I might meet is actually getting the img zip to load to actually flash the device,, I'm thinking the S-ON is the most important thing however.
Here is a link to a pd98img to put on sd card that will do the unroot process. It's your best bet. s on pd98img

I was using ROM Manager to try to install the ClearDroid ROM, it did a reboot, and now seems stuck at the HTC screen. I can get into the menu (doing power+volume up), but am not sure what to do at this point.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
If you can get into recovery your fine. Just restore your nandrod you hopefully made or try using a different rom or re-downloading the one you just tried.
Edit: have you flashed a recovery yet?

Remove the battery, reinsert it and then try volume down + power
Thank you for the quick response, to be honest I'm nervous as heck that I'm going to further jack something.
Do I need to copy a ROM onto the SDCARD, and rename it to the PDxxxx.zip?
Something new, and potentially concerning.
When I try to go into recovery, I'm now getting 3 "vibrates", following by blinking orange light.

If you can get to hboot. use the volume button to go down to recovery and press the power button. Once you're in recovery, wipe data/factory reset, clear cache, go to advanced, clear dalvik, install from zip from sd card, pick the zip from the sd card, it will flash. If you get stuck again redownload the rom and try again.
How long does it take to get into recover? I got into HBOOT, selected recover, power, it reset, presented the HTC screen, faded to black, and seems to be sitting there.

Yes that is the size of the file, when you boot into hboot i will look for the file and on the third time it will find it and start flashing it. Did you place it in a folder, or unpack it?
I figured it would load on the third one, it is on the root, compressed. It's a Blackberry 2G card, that did have a directory in it. I went ahead and formatted the card, and am going to give it another go.
Still no go, it will not recognize that image.
Try a different sd card. Got a few more options after that.
OK< got that fixed, turns out I had formatted it FAT, not FAT32. It parsed the file.
Now what?

There has been sooo many threads based on this its not funny, did you even try to search? I don't understand why there is a distinction between soft and hard bricks. A brick is a brick, if you can boot into HBOOT the word brick should not be associated with your phone, soft or hard is reserved for ice scream.
What PD98IMG are you talking about? are you sure you grabbed the right PD98IMG rom file? If you have a SD reader delete the PD98IMG you have on there now and follow the link I provide. They will give you stock ROMs that either have been named PD98IMG that just have to be put onto the root of your inspire or you have to rename the file PD98IMG. Flash in HBOOT and reboot, install Rom Manger and then flash either CWR or 4ext or whatever tickles your fancy and boot into recovery and flash as normal. I have had the same problem you have had and these PD98IMG worked for me.

Ok. Did you have to make a goldcard or did you just put the zip on your sd and reboot it pressing down button and power down and it did the rest from there on its own?

::sigh::
Please, please, please, please, pleaseeeeeeee!!!! read and do your research. Take the time to educate yourself before you truly brick your phone. I can't even believe that you rooted your phone if you're asking me this kind of a question. I'll spoon feed this to you once, the goldcard is only used to downgrade and gain the exploit to root. I'm not 100% sure if the newest version still requires the downgrade but nonetheless after you've rooted the goldcard is useless, you don't need it. Again, please search! the issue you're having has been covered literally like 3 times this week in 3 different threads. I'll spoon feed it to you just this once, but please be aware this is a DEVELOPMENT SITE, and not I'm really lazy and can't search for my help site
Go to one of those threads I provided in the link. Download the RUU file. If it's already named PD98IMG.zip, simply place it on your SDcard (I'm guessing in your case it's still your goldcard which is your SDcard). If it is not exactly named "PD98IMG.zip" rename the downloaded RUU to "PD98IMG.zip" exactly like that and place in on your SDcard (GOLDCARD). From there press the volume up and and power at the same time to boot into HBOOT. Once in Hboot, hit the power button and follow the commands. HBOOT will scan for that PD98IMG.zip file, flash it and you will have a working stock rooted ROM to start all over. If you have another PD98IMG.zip file other then the one downloaded from the provided link, delete it. If your phone isn't being recongized by your computer, you'll need a SDcard reader to delete and add zip files to your SDcard. All of this could have been found by searching. Don't be lazy, help us help you by helping yourself to the search button
Take out sd card. Boot into hboot. Scroll down to recovery but don't press. Put sd card back in and then enter recovery. Be sure to get rid if pd98img if you are going to boot into recovery through hboot.

Your problem is very simple. The pd98img that is on your sd card will not allow you to access the hboot menu. You have to remove the pd98img if you want to enter recovery via hboot. The process I told you will skip the pd98img check and let you select an option. You have to boot into hboot though without the sd card in your phone and then pop it back in once you are able to navigate through hboot menu.
If you have a card reader you can remove it that way. If you are able to boot into your rom then you can remove it that way too.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
@ Gizmoe ok, thanks! I've tried that and more methods still no luck. I still can't select anything with the pd98img.zip being off the sd card and I still can't select any when the sd card isn't in the phone at all. Sigh... When in hboot without sd card inserted in the phone I still can't scroll up or down at all, and the hboot and fastboot are highlighted in blue. Under fastboot it's recovery, factory reset, simlock, and image crc... I can't scroll down to none of them though. Any other method to try getting it into recovery? Thanks
Try backing up your sd card. Reformat sd card, and then put a Rom on card and then try hboot again.

Don't get butt hurt when you're openly being lazy on a development site. Don't get defensive when I tell you what you should be doing and still give you the advice you were looking for, whether or not it worked. I find it hilarious that people just like you think, "ooooh I see these threads even when I'm making this pointless one but I'm tired of reading...blah blah blah" If that's the attitude you have towards rooting and this development site in general, re-read the rules here at XDA. I'm not trying to be a jerk (regardless how you take it) but when you signed up to XDA you agreed to the terms and to adhere to rules of XDA.
The only other way to boot into recovery is through adb I think, I've never had to do it but I think there is a way to do it that way. You can always hit up Attn1's IRC chatroom, can't say they will be more receptive but they always seem to have someone in there that knows every trick.I wish I could provide more insight towards adb but I never had to or wanted to use it.

Can you boot into rom? If not how far does it get. You may be able to use adb from blanked screen. Also are you even able to navigate through hboot menu or is it just frozen?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
No, far as I get is to the screen where it is hboot, fastboot, recovery, and etc. I can't scroll to none of them, so it's like it's frozen. I tried putting a custom rom on sd card after I formatted it, even tried different sd cards and still the same thing. So I'm stuck on the screen with the 3 little androids on the skateboard. I stayed up till 6 dis morning searching and trying different stuff, but still can't get past that screen. when I try plugging the phone up to the pc the phone screen is black and I can't do anything, but when I unplug it it'll boot into hboot. I have a card reader btw if that helps anything. Thanks!

Hello,
So hopefully I haven't screwed up royally here, but here's the problem:
Rooted phone, running CM7.2 Nightly (I forget the version)
Went to update radio from this wiki (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Speedy_Info) page - checksum matched.
Renamed file to PG06IMG.zip
Booted into HBOOT, ran update, rebooted.
HBOOT Info:
-----------------
SPEEDY XE ENG S-OFF
HBOOT - 0.93.2001 (PG0610000)
RADIO - 1.08.00.0506 (Seems the radio did update)
eMMC-boot
-------------------
Tried to reboot but now stuck on the HTC Logo screen.
What do I do now? And can you explain in layman's terms please? Still not privy to the technical stuff.
Latest radio for the Shift is 1.08.01.0111, do a search for it here, flash it in the same manner and see if it boots.

Well the only screen I can get to is the HBOOT screen, which automatically tries to update from the PG016IMG.zip file on my sd card. Even I choose not to update, my only option is reboot. I assume the only other way around this is to delete that file of my sd card from my computer...unless there's another way I'm missing.

So good news I got my phone to boot again. I was able to update the radios with the latest ones, however it was continuing to get stuck at the HTC boot screen. I deleted the .zip file, was able to boot into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache, and after a minute or two was able to boot up.
Thanks again for the help!
And now I just need to figure out this battery drain issue. Went from 100% to less than 10% in less than 2 hours
Let me know how that radio works out and if there is any changes in the touch panel

Thanks guys. I'm so sorry for my 'noob' Ness, what is a 'ruu'? I'm downloading that file now, it's an exe file, do I just put that on the sd card?
I'm pretty sure it's at 2.3.5. Never been rooted or messed with. I have a photon4g, I've been screwed from day one.
When it starts up it will stay at the htc screen forever.
No warranty.

RUU is remote update utility. You don't have to put that file in the sdcard, you have to flash it in fast boot. Boot in boot, plug the phone and if the phone says hboot USB plug, press power to toggle to fast hboot USB, then run the exe file and you are done
