I held down vol down and power button, im in the bootloader but my volume keys dont let me scroll up and down. is there anything that i can do so i can scroll down to recovery.
Give it abouta minute. After booting into hboot it has to have time to scan the root sd card for a PD98img file.
it updates the pd98img file and then reboots. it comes up to the white htc screen and then just fades to black. my computer will not recognize my phone anymore. at this point i dont know of any way to reload the stock rom or any rom for that matter. my phone isnt old, i need my phone
What were you doing when all this started?
I was rerooting my phone,
and it it hung up and my only option was to pull the battery. once i pulled the battery, white htc and then fade to black is as far as it will go
Hack kit? Go to irc.
I believe i may have fixed it. i followed one of the steps in the stuck in hboot sticky. its updating the rom right now. this is the first time the computer has recognized the phone. I appreciate all the help.

So I got around to rooting my Inspire 4G this morning using the one-click method, and I am about to flash my first ROM. I downloaded the MIUI ROM and added it to the root folder on the flash drive. At first I tried booting into recovery by pressing the vol down button and power, and it boots to h-boot but at first the buttons dont do anything (it wont scroll down when I press the volume up or down button) then it starts to search for PD98IMG.zip like it did when I was rooting. So I removed the battery and started up the phone, and removed PD98IMG.zip from the SD Card root. turned the phone back off and rebooted into H-Boot menu. And again it started looking for PM98IMG.zip but when it couldnt find the file, it went back to the H-Boot menu, so I scrolled down to "recovery" and hit the power button to select. Once I hit the power button I get a white screen that says "HTC" in green, the screen just fades away and turns black, there it stays, does nothing.
Where do I go from here??????
First post in the right place and second go read the general sticky

Im not sure why you deleted the zip file and or pulled the bat in hboot. However your gonna wanna go back into hboot and factory default your phone.
From there you will want to read the one click method or perform the root with the hack kit

I took the battery out because the phone was not doing anything. The screen also goes blank when I try to select factory default on the H-Boot screen.
I guess I will try to go back to stock using the guide in the thread
Ok so I am confused.
I just went back and repeated the whole process of the one-click root. When I go to flash a ROM on the phone, do I need to format my SD card before I go to flash a ROM? What specifically do I need to do in between rooting the phone and going to flash the ROM?
When I go into the ROM manager and try to reboot into recovery from the ROM Manager, the phone shuts off, reboots, shows a white screen that says "HTC" in green, then then screen fades away and turns blank and stays there.
when I go into the one-click rooting program, and try to go through the Eng S-OFF tool to see if it will fix the black screen it gives me an error that says "bootloader corrupt"

have a look at this thread here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019868 maybe it can help with the issues you are having
My phone is currently sitting with a "S/W upgrade" screen after a series of stupid events. I flashed recovery using ROM Manager before I had read that it fake flashed. I rebooted into recovery and installed CM7 nightly. Rebooted and it's stuck in a boot loop. So I finally see all the warnings against that so I figure I need to get a real recovery so I use the awesome guide from TGA_Gunnman. I follow all the instructions and it appears from the log on my PC that the CM recovery flashed successfully. I pull the cord, reinsert my battery and my phone just sits in the S/W upgrade screen. It's been like that for 30 minutes now.
What do I do?
I thought I'd done something wrong with my G2x because that happened to me too. Remove your battery and USB. Then insert your battery again. When you turn it on, make sure to hold both the power button and the volume down button until you see text that says android. If you, like me, thought you just had to hold the volume down and tap the power button (like my Nexus One), that might be your issue.

just disconnect usb, and go to recovery Power+vol down...
.....and congrats !
yep, I thought I bricked it too.. When you were done at the green screen where it said press any button, thats where you press whatever you want and then unplug the cord. Then, put the battery back in and hold down vol then power, don't let go until "android" pops up.. You did it man, just missing your last step..
Moved to proper forum
I can get to the Recovery screen, but I cant select any of the options....volume lets me scroll, but cant find anything to select any of the options....kinda new at this
power button to 'action' your selection... at least it works for me.

The "S/W upgrade" stays on, that's normal. See if your terminal window has completed whatever stuff it is doing. If you get a completed message, you are good to go and can safely pull out the USB chord even if your phone still says "S/W upgrade". Put back your battery and hold Power+Vol DOWN button and see if you get into cmw recovery.
so im trying to fix my friends phone and this is weird..
im able to go to cwm, wipe it all and flash a new rom.. it flashess successfully but when i reboot it goes back to the s/w update screen..it happens with any rom i flash.. its been sitting there for a while.. how long should i wait?
Once you flash the ROM you shouldn't be getting that screen...Does your friend has the G2x or 2x and which ROM did you flash?
Sounds like you screwed up the boot image. Go into APX mode again and reflash the recovery package making sure it completes, you hit a key to close the terminal window, and you hold the volume buttons the entire time. Then go into recovery and factory reset and clear the Dalvik cache. Then if you still get the S/W update screen you are going to need to go to the thread about fixing bricked phones and use the KDZ method to reflash the entire GB OTA package. There is also a new method to reinstall the entire OTA package using NVFlash but you have to hold the volume buttons down for about ten to fifteen minutes while everything flashes.
I am a SUPER NOOB... I rooted my phone and S-Off it... Was trying to flash a ROM, did not work no my phone is stuck at all white screen with HTC across it.. Please help
if you pull the battery to turn off the phone, put the battery back in and hold the volume down button while you press the power button does it take you to the bootloader? And secondly, can you get to the recovery from there?
Yes... Now the son of a gun won't even power on...
I done did something bad... It wont even power up, or charge.... Before you ask me could I get to the boot loader screen I could, but I was jacking around with all kinda of stuff now the thing won't even power up..
How long are you holding the power button to turn it on, you just need to press the power button long enough to power the device on, but keep your finger on the vol down button until you get to the bootloader. Also, do you have the updated clockwork mod recovery installed that doesn't have the charging issue. Basically, is your battery dead?
ok now i have power...
Just please help me get my phone to come on so i can use it.. I am in boot loader now(held power button and volume down button)
go to recovery
Did it... What's next? I've tried everything on the list.. Nothing, that was before I actually posted the thread...
ok, if you are in the clockwork mod recovery, from there you need to do a full wipe, "data factory reset" cant remember the exact option. after you do a full wipe then you can try to install the rom again.
"data factory reset" did.... Phone still can't get pass that same screen....
did you re-install the rom after the factory reset? Also, the rom takes a while to boot the first time.
how can I re-install a Rom if my phone cant even get pass the screen and come on for me to get to the disk drive to drag and drop the ROM?
I am new to the andriod world, so please excuse the Noob-Ness
Ok..
When you downloaded the rom did you put it on your sd card?
What rom did you flash, and how did you flash it?
Lets start there.
**Edit**
And did you even read the following thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I put it on my SD card.... I tried to flash it, didn't work... I flash well attempted to flash it from the Recovery Mode(Power and Volume down) click "install from Sd card" and click the ROM, then rebooted...
My suggestion would be to use your computer to download a new rom from the dev section. Find a usb adapter for the micro SD card and move the new rom to it. Try flashing the new rom from CWM. Sounds to me like you got a rom that isn't for the sensation. Do you remember which rom you downloaded?
InsertCoin..I think it was me.. I just might have **** something up.. I follow the direction from the guy on Thelockr dot com.. it wasnt that hard. I just F my phone up...
How long are you waiting when you turn on your phone after flashing the rom? As I said before it takes a while to boot the first time.
At least 3 mins per go.
I seem to be having an issue with my phone. I'm still a noob, so bare with me. I used the HTC Dev tool to unlock my phone. Then I used the flashboot boot boot.img command to try to install a rom. The phone reset on its own and booted to the splash screen and then a black screen. I let it sit for 5 mins and then pulled the battery and put it back in and booted into bootloader and then into recovery. Tried to run cwm but it wouldn't find the rom to flash. Took the card out it put it into another phone and it said it was bad. Got a new card and tried from beginning but not getting any farther. In CMW I can select any of the options and it just goes to to the circle screen. Wont wipe the phone, wont reboot the phone, nothing. If I try to let it boot without going into the bootloader I get the splash screen and then the black screen. Thanks in advance for your help!
Not sure what version of CWM you are using. But normally if you see the circle with the hat, you are pushing the wrong button on the phone to select the items. If I remember it's either the power button or camera button.
Thanks!

Wow, don't I feel dumb! Yeah, I was hitting the power button to select and it is the trackpad that I should have been pressing. Thanks for the help!
was installing ARHD 7.0, which ive done several times and now the phone wont boot after a reboot. i can vol/pwr up to get to the splash screen, but cannot get into fastboot/hboot or back into twrp. any ideas?
Belay my Last!
Fortunately I found a post from the M8 thread and was more or less, a timing issue on my part. Thanks to Tikerz for his post/reply
Quote below:
"When you plug it into the computer does the computer make a ding sound that it's connected? If so, then press power and volume up until the disconnect ding sound which indicates it's rebooting and then immediately press volume down and see if you can get into fastboot. The timing is tricky so I've found using audio cues from computer can help if the phone is messed up."
I had to do this also. It will work. I thought for sure I had bricked my M8. But if u hold power and volume up at same time time screen goes black..then let go of power and volume up and hold volume down till u see fastboot. From there u can fastboot flash RUU package. I say that cause I personally found that restoring a backup of re-flashing ROM didnt work..at least for me.

A brick refers to a phone that is essentially a .. brick. Won't power on, no charge light, 100% dead.
