I'm not taking a shot at your english but from the sounds of it you rooted, you had a custom ROM installed? and then you put in your sim and re-ran the hack kit? I'm not 100% sure what you actually did but if the hack kit ran and you were rooted and using the rcmix rom, running the hack kit again is explicitly stated not a good idea and will jam you up. If you did this, consult the IRC chat room in the OP of the Hack Kit Thread, I'm sure attn1 and those guys have seen this situation before.

My friend, if you cannot enter an IRC chatroom, rooting your phone and installing ROMs may be a little out of your league then. I just clicked the link, typed in any username I want,typed the verification code in and I was able to enter the chatroom and type.

LMAO so true man. If you can't enter the IRC then just delete your xda account.
I got your 10 char right here

Can you get to hboot by powering up holding volume down and power button at the same time. Ifso see if it is s-off? If so you might be able to enter rocovery this way and flash a rom.
Usually when I have an issue with a rom or phone I flash the stock rooted att rom (pd98 zip) and start over with changing the rom. Sorry I can't give you the zip file I'm on the road all day today but if you search q&a section you will find it.
Hope it helps.

what it sounds like this user did was ran the hack kit and rooted fine (assumption), the mention of the RCmix ROM makes me believe he installed the ROM and then realized the SIM card wasn't in, so for some reason he/she ran the hack kit again? which if you read the OP of the hack kit, Attn1 explicitly states don't do that or you will get jammed up. I'm assuming Attn1 can fix this quickly since I imagine this issue has happened on more then one occasions and he'll be a better resource to fix this rather then us trying to troubleshoot this from the trial and error side. But if this user cannot get into the IRC chatroom, there isn't much more any of us can do.

So true some people just want to jump into situations without researching. We try to help I dont like to see someone turning their phone into a $400 paper weight lol

agreed. if people dont research HOW to root the phone, likely they dont know WHY to root the phone.

So if I can enter HBOOT. but when I try to enter recoveryel phone does the same. htc logo appears and disappears until it almost off the screen ..

and yes is it s-off.

There's a thread at the top of the Inspire General forum that explains exactly how to fix this. It's been there for a month. Do your research and you'll find the answers you need.

If the rooting process worked correctly.
Here is the rooted updated ATT Gingerbread ROM. Just place PD98 in root of SD card then go into bootloader and let it do its thing. When it ask to install volume up for yes. AS ADVICED " RESEARCH"
Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)
This is for Rooted Stck ROM
http://www.fileserve.com/file/RtVn4Re/PD98IMG.zip
NO NEED TO RENAME JUST DOWNLOAD AND PLACE IN ROOT OF SD
Hope it helps
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING.

Then you can flash a custom ROM if you like.

Been there
same thing happened to me, tried flashing cm7, it got stuck in an infinite loop so I did the same thing and had to get a new phone.
Just make up an alibi don't tell them u rooted and make sure there is no damage to ur phone. They just gave me a refurb phone and now I am using RCmix3d.
my parents took my phone away, spending too much time on it lol

either way, never really understood why some users post information to a dead thread that has been covered? Then again, I contribute to the problem by bringing it up. Then again you also contribute to the problem by calling me out. I'll yield to seniority though. Google is a great tool.

Because, if peeps are searching like they should, the thread is not really dead. It should still be getting views and if anyone has anything to add, they should do so. Provided the thread is not real old that info is obsolete and what they add is constructive.

So a sd card is needed to get past the waiting screen ?

Your issue is not a development issue, its a personal one.
Please post in General.
That being said, I have never seen that issue before.....
Waiting for bootloader to init... ouch!!!
You can try to flash Recovery back on your phone. Enter recovery and do a nandroid restore. Yes you will need an external SDCard. But without a boot loader I think you may be bricked. What did you really do to get this issue?
Did you flash the firmware from another phone?
Once again if you havn't developed anything please make your posts in General for this kind of issue. Otherwise you clutter this thread and make it hard for others to find apps, roms, etc.. here

He flashed recovery first and then rooted his phone. Instead of rooting and then flashing recovery. Please poeple read instructions first before you do anything. Read through the posts as much as possible to prepare yourself for anything that may come up. Do not assume all the instructions are on the first post most of the time they are but sometime you must read through the post and multiple post.

[Q] I'm a total noob, please help.

Hey, guys, I feel very inadequate in here so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to Skype with me on how to root, flash, etc. on my phone. I ask for Skype because I truly know next to nothing in regards to this process. I vaguely understand what rooting does but I have never done any of it.
I have been patient with my g2x and am still on my original one(hoping that LG or TMO would do what was right by it's customers) but after the recent news that they "might" start doing internal testing after having pulled our legs with this whole "by summer" nonsense, I have decided to try to correct their mistakes for now.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you volunteering help?
Yep, you've totally scared yourself. Don't worry, I did it with my G1. Read, read, read. Then use the one click great app to root your phone then use TGA's thread to put CWM recovery on it.
If you're gonna do this stuff you gotta trust that you know what you're doing (unless there's something you really don't understand). Else you'll never do it.
And I don't think I've seen a thread about a really bricked phone. So relax and use the source young Skywalker.

Easy, download AmonRA recovery and follow youtube video directions. pretty much, download amonra, put on sd card, insert sd card, Power down, then press powerbutton+volume down, brings you to hboot menu....then you look for hboot usb, press volume down, then youre rooted.
First 2 times in rootet, i did it with this htc legend, took a few hours and yet didn't work, but afterwards in went to theunlocker guide and piece of cake it was, i even have to tell im running @ 806 mhz stable, even if found the biggest stable clock on legend to 768 mhz good luck

well today i flashed a rom thats s-on and locked. and i had the same scenario that i had with the unlocked, s-off rom.. same behavior .. i made 2 calls that lasted 7 secs and they dropped.. thereafter, i'm not able to make calls. and the tmobile logo appears then disappears in the upper corner..
i think someone here said it best. i might have had a bad flash the 1st time.. i will reflash today and see if i get the same result. i'll let you know how it goes.

the flashing of roms isnt what i'm talking about.. i'm talking about the hack kit that i think something went wrong in. so thats why i flashed to a stock rom so that i can run the hack kit again to re-root and s-off again. hopefully this will do it..
if it doesnt work than i'll buy an unlock code.

If you ever ran the hack kit, the SIM identifier information has been zeroed out (2048 bytes of partition 7 from 0x80000 to 0x80800) and you can't get it back--even if you return to S-ON--unless you saved the partition 7 backup gfree writes to your SD card when you first rooted. You can ask me how I know this or what it all means, if you care, but you haven't listened to one iota of anything I've said so far anyway.

hi gene poole.. i installed the offical stock rom (RUU) from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191959
everything is ok, except that like i told you before, i want to buy an unlock code. but when i put in my sim card, instead of seeing a message like, "network locked", i get "phone doesnt have sim card inserted." and it gives me the option of turning off the phone or restarting it.
so i dont know if i can still use an unlock code or not.. i just want to use this phone on tmo.. why is it that hard to do?

Please search....
There was no reason for you to root without first reading everything. Also there was no reason to root if your not good with phones or computers....just sayin. Please search.
I got your 10 char right here
Wow man best advice is the one given above. I searched for weeks for all issues before I tempted to root. Then days for the issues on custom ROMs. As well as radios. I dont bother with anything else but those. I would say get the rooted ATT ROM (PD98IMG) file, pull battery out of phone then put back, then boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power button at same time. If phone goes to bootloader it will recognize the PD98IMG zip and load it. it will ask if you want to install, just hit volume up for yes and it will do its thing. I couldn't find the page for the ROM so I loaded mine to megaupload it includes the radio -26.10.04.03_M. If you find it in Development Section dont forget to THANK the developer, I TAKE NO CREDIT FO IT. Just place zip file in root of phone micro sd card (not in a folder). (I always use the gold card I made to root the phone). You may have to take card out of phone and use adapter to place zip in itthen put back into phone. AS ALWAYS ON HERE FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
AGAIN AS ADVICED ABOVE " RESEARCH" before anything.

If rooted use this method if not rooted try Lordpipa's method below.
PD98IMG is not a ROM, it's a radio file. Incorrectly telling him to flash this may brick his phone. Be sure you know what you're talking about before you post help.

He is talking about the s-on stock method. And yes he could do this and then try the hack kit. Then boot into recovery and flash cm7. Maybe it was a bad flash. But yes he should search, for the above info, but remember this is q/a. We were all noobs, and still have lots to learn.

Just a fyi...a PD98ING file is not always a radio file. Naming a file that's tells hboot to flash that file.
Splash screen downloads are named that as well. But back to what I said before. Please search.
I got your 10 char right here

Dude the PD98 zip file I put up is Pooles rooted ATT ROM with the .03 Radio. I know what I uploaded on here. So when I put something on here I know what Im putting up. I would not tell someone to flash something I dont know what it is. So please as adviced here SEARCH-SEARCH-SEARCH as I did.
Sorry, my bad. I didn't read your post thoroughly, plus I had radio files on the brain.

No problem

Phone shows unlocked but s=off

I had ended up using the all in one HTC One S root utility that was linked in the fourms. After following all the steps that where listed (While following the youtube guide) My phone when on bootloader will show ****Unlocked**** across the top but s=off any ideas on why that is? I havent quite been able to figure it out im just looking for more information so when I get home I can have at it again :/ just find it odd that given the steps and the fact I had done them all to the T im still having this issue. Any help would be great thanks for taking the time.
I assume this might be better fit for Q&A if your a mod i apologize if you could move it that would be great couldnt figure out how to delete the poist :/ "edit/delete" wont remove the post :/ sorry again
Well if you can post a photo of the boot loader screen that would help me in sorting out your issue.

Don't know what you are disappointed about. S-OFF stands for security being off. This may sound bad, but from a developer perspective, it's pretty good. If you have true S-OFF like you claim you do, you can flash ROMs, kernels, radios, etc... in a recovery with no issues at all; regardless of what hboot or custom recovery you have. Unlocked means that you can flash custom recoveries and such using fastboot, which is what you want. To sum it up, S-OFF is good; many devs are trying to get S-OFF, but NONE can figure it out. Just be happy about it.
Having this 'Unlocked' text is what you're going to get if you root/unlock the phone. No way to get around it. If you want to return to complete stock settings and re-lock, your best bet is to be on stock recovery and flash an RUU that corresponds to your network. You may also want to try 'fastboot oem lock'.

Actually I think since he has s-off I think he can make it say whatever he wants.

Facepalm. You do NOT have S-OFF, What the hell made you think you did. This is normal... Wow. You need to install a custom recovery to flash zips, by the way.
Hey easy on him, he was just mistaken. OP, do you need me to show you how to go back to stock?

Oh sweet jesus you're lucky as hell.
Never ever ever sell your phone, because you got your hands on a developer one or just a phone that slipped through the cracks, because you have full S-OFF.
You should be able to flash ROMs in recovery without going to fastboot to ever flash a kernel, if the ROM is set up for it.
You would do better to change thread title...
