So I was flashing different roms trying to find something new I liked When a changed setting caused me to get stuck before even the bootanimation at the HTC logo. No biggie right, happens to us all?. So I got into recovery and decide that ill go ahead and flash a new radio while im there. So I get the PD98IMG.ZIP put it on SD card. Reboot and flash it in the bootloader but when I reboot I can't get to my rom b/c I never reflashed it... Starting to see the problem? So everytime I rebooted the phone it would see PD98IMG.ZIP and want to apply update and if i declined it would turn phone off could't get to fastboot recovery or anything. After 10minutes of restarts and utter panic I realized how F***ing stupid I was for not pulling the SD card out from the start and being able to go straight into recovery.
I figured someone might get a chuckle out of this :/
Also got me wondering what would be the solution for this if you had a phone with a non-removable SDcard like the nexus S?

Where do I begin...
I still have access to CWM and the Bootloader menus but I cant flash a rom without a boot loop. Nothing I do can get this thing to boot. I am trying to restore it to stock but I cant get anything to recognize the phone to do so. Trying to run a downgrade from the root hack kit to no avail...
Given that I still have access to these 2 menus, what are my options here?
All of this for a damn Radio...
EDIT: Never mind finally got it! I had to copy the dang image file from the hack kit, put it on the phones SD card, and let it run itself in the bootloader... panic over lol
Hey guys,
ok, so I flashed an incorrect radio onto my phone (i think) I was running CM7 and flashed a new radio to try and fix the GPS and now it's stuck on the white HTC screen. I cannot boot into recovery because all I get is Hboot and no option to run a restore.
I put the SD card into another phone and downloaded the correct radio, rebooted to recovery and ran the update, but it still gets stuck on the white HTC screen.
Im in a bit of a panic here please can someone help me.
Sorry I know im not the first guy whos done this and im sure you gusy get sick of people asking for help but im really desperate here.
Many thanks,
Adam
We have all had that feeling ^^
Do this:
1. - Open the back cover
2. - Remove the SD Card
3. - Pull the battery out for 5 secs and put it back in
4. - Put the cover back on
5. - Press Vol Down and Power at the same time. Keep holding on Vol Down till you get in bootloader
6. - Select Recovery
7. - Wipe Cache
8. - Put your SD Card back in
9. - Reboot phone and its all working again. Yey.
It was in the thread
Thanks for the quick reply, I'll give that a shot and see how I get on, really appreciate the support.

flashing radio
I wouldn't have flashed a radio unless I absolutely had to if you can boot into recovery and you have a backup of your original radio and do a full wipe and do a clean install if you still have all your zip files in recovery see this why the dev's tell you don't mess with the radio your going to have this pushed from a pc good luck
There's nothing wrong with flashing a radio. It's a very simple procedure and shouldn't cause any problems if done properly.
Hey guys,
Just to let you know popping the SD card let me get into recovery and fix the problem.
As you can see from my sig it's been a loooong time since I played around with Android and I probably mis-read (didn't read) something.
You have my very humble thanks.
Thanks TheStigx! Really helped, I was freaking for a minute there

does anyone know exactly why sometimes flashing a radio does this? is it cause they didnt clear cache? im jus wondering so i can avoid this issue alll togetherrr
i tried the instructions in post#2 and it worked, thanks so much i was freaking out too lol. just goes to show how little i know. just an edit though, i had to pull my sd car out, boot into the bootloader, then install the sd card back in and reboot into recovery, then i got a bunch of errors about mounting so i ignored that and then just did the wipe cash and rebooted. then it came back to life! i thank you guys
Hello, before I call Samsung in hopes they might give me a RMA, I need help.
I had unlocked the bootloader in the past and had recently installed the IMM26D official stock rom that was not rooted. This worked fine for a month or so then yesterday the phone would not boot up anymore, just sitting at "GOOGLE' across the screen with the unlocked padlock on the bottom. So here is what I have tried ;
I was able to load CWM on it, but once in there, I could not do anything that pointed to the sdcard (mount, mount usb, format, wipe and erase). The minute I tried this, the log would show "Error mounting \sdcard\".
I then tried ODIN to see if I could reload the IMM26D, It would start and get only about 5% of the way and just stop for eternity. I tried the same cable I used before when this worked, and a different one.
And at the last step (Stupidly), I tried doing a fastboot oem lock and it locked it. Now when I go back in and do a fastboot oem unlock, the options come up on the screen and when choosing Yes to unlock, the phone just locks up.
Could this be a corrupted or damaged SDcard in the phone (now I wish it wasn't internal and rather a external one) ?
Is there ANYTHING I can do at this point? Is there a .PIT file specific for this phone that I can try loading with ODIN ?
I would love to somehow load the "stock" recovery back on it but since I can't unlock the bootloader, seems that idea is toast. It would be a lot easier to take to Sprint or send to Samsung if it didn't have CMW on it.
Sorry for the long post, but thanks in advance ..
what happened with this issue? Was it resolved, did you have it swapped with another phone?

Ended up calling Samsung and sending it in, luckily it was still under warranty. Looks like they fixed it and waiting for it to return. There was nothing I could do on my end at the time, it was a corrupted internal SD card.
Ok guys, new to the forums but this problem has had me fully occupied for the last 6 hours and I feel like I have tried everything. I had cm9 alpha 12, and went to flash TrickDroid v5.0, something happened and I'm currently stuck in some wierd bootloop/soft brick. I had access to CWM but my SD card wouldn't mount and my adb push attempts didn't do anything, for reasons I don't know why. My phone would start up into the wierd trickdroid bootup and last for like 30 minutes. I tried the solution of another thread on how to fix a bootloop/ softbrick, but now I dont have any CWM access and I can only access the bootloader or the endless bootup screen. I tried using the all in one tool to flash the CWM again but it just restarts it and puts it back into the bootup, and when i restart to go to bootloader to acess the recovery, it goes back to bootup. Every solution I try makes my problem worse, and to top it off I cant turn my phone off and keep it off because it will just start back up. Thanks.
Edit: Problem fixed. Downloaded the original all in 1 tool for htc one s, plugged phone into comp went to fastboot and with the tool flashed the phones stock recovery. I reset to factory defaults and cleared storage with it from the bootloader. After that, I flashed clockwork mod recovery again and my SD card was able to be mounted and accepted files from my adb push, and I reflashed cyanogenmod. Wuzzah!

lol, meant to "quote" not "thanks".
Can you fastboot a new recovery?
Did you do a full wipe coming from CM9 to TrickDroid
Well I can't access the phone from usb on my computer (still takes charge though), so I don't think I can flash a recovery thru fastboot (I'm not too experienced though). From cm9, I wiped all and flashed trickdroid + tweak set, then it just stat their at home screen. CMW being lost occurred later.
Im in the same situation rght now. I have trickdroid and I went into my tweaks to set them back to their original setup...so removing all of the options I chose before when I used the tweaks for the first time. When I rebooted my phone it just hangs on the HTC screen. I can get into recovery and I tried reinstalling trickdroid but its still getting stuck. Not sure what to do at this point. I don't think I can put a recovery file on this since I can't connect it to my computer.
Hopefully someone can help us.
But the thing is I can't access recovery. I try to flash it again with the all in 1 tool and it won't work. It says it went through, but accessing it doesn't work.
If its recognised by USB when plugged in computer just run an ruu that's my solution all The time lol

Ok i somehow managed to get TWR on my phone, but still unable to mount the SD. How do I run the RUU? I downloaded it, but the instructions are flawed I think
Connect with USB to.computer go into faatboot USB then run ruu on pc
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Well I thought the RUU was going to work, but it just stops at the HTC and gives me an error saying I can't. What now?
Ok currently, I relocked my bootloader in an attempt to do the RUU, but I get a 155 Unknown Error up doing such, using the TMOUS 1.53 ruu... other places I have seen say something about returning to the stock img etc, but I'm quite stuck. Any advice appreciated
htc one s stuck in bootloop almost unresponsive
hey guys, got a brain teaser for you.
i have a tmobile htc one s, unlocked, rooted using all in one htc tool, been at it for two days now. im stuck on the boot screen showing its unlocked, i used to be able to get into the boot loader screen but now it seems ive dead ended. ill hold any combination of power and vol up/down, the keys flash for 10 sec and the screen flashes once, i let go and it reboots, keeps that htc screen, after 20-30 sec goes black. my pc doings like it detects a device but i cant locate it. ive used adb and the htc all in one unlock tool trying to get any kind of os to launch.
Shortly before this i was able to go into the boot loader, clear and master reset the files and cache, and search for the rom zip, thus never allowing me to flash. on a journey to place this in the phone through various combinations of the all in one, adb push, and everything else i found on youtube, countless forum posts, i seem to be in a deeper hole now.
I ultimately want to end with a cm10 nightly on my tmo htc one s. I have never done this to a phone without a sd card. i come to this community humbly seeking any and all advice. thank you.
not rooted, htc inspire 4g, s-on, partially used aakh hack kit...
dont think anything has been flashed yet and couldnt boot into clockworkmod...
2.3.5 please help me asap.
i used aakh to try to root my phone, didnt work...
i saw another methood that involve using the hack kit to install that version of clockworkmod. (that seemed to work.) then i used another hack tool (warp drive?) that was origanally used for a different phone.
(video is on youtube, {hacking the htc insire 4g 2.3.5} the guy has two vids of the same thing, one is a remake)
i got to the end and kept getting the red triangle and could not proceed.
now the day after, that night my phone was running slow, i noticed that the vol down wasnt responding and the phone was running very slow. i restarted the phone, (no shutdown option)
it instantly rebooted to the hboot menu (2 seconds if that after it was off) and says "*** LOCKED ***" at the top
i can not scroll with the vol up, down, and it only does anything when i have the sd card inserted before starting hboot.
pulled out the battery... and all that stuff, it still instantly boots to the hboot screen.
it tries to find several extensions of PD98IMG on the sd card.
says "no image!" for the first few. obviously because it insnt there to load.
then it gets to the .zip exention, says loading, then checking, then it says
model id incorrect!
update failed!
press <POWER> to reboot.
is it trying to flash someting now? my phone is s-on not rooted, 2.3.5 gingerbread i guess
is there another zip file i can download to replace the PD98IMG.zip?
(i already tried to download one but im having hell getting the file from my computer to my phone, [using a galaxy note II to try and transfer, not being user friendly])
do i need to have a gold card, ( idk if it is already a gold card or not, but it most likely didnt happen yet)
is there a way to get root from this point, if not im not too worried about it i just need to fix my phone.
please help, asap my dad is about to take it to at&t and if they do anything to it i dont want them to erase my other memory card or factory reset because someone is an idiot.
guys i know that's a lot of info im just trying to answer questions before they are asked to get the problem solved a little bit faster...
any ideas would be wonderful.
