You tried to go into recovery but nothing but the image of a
phone
PS: I don't remember if it's the same but you get the concept
DON'T PANIC
Steps:
1. Download the PG88IMG.zip from downstairs
2. Put your sdcard on another phone make sure to put the file on your /sdcard
3. Go into Bootloader (Turn off phone then press the volume down button and the power button to go)
4. It will check for PG88IMG.zip and ask you if you want to install it (vol up for yes)
5. It will ask you to reboot do that
6. Turn off phone
7. Re-put your sdcard on another phone
8. Remove the PG88IMG.zip
9. Put it on your phone with a ROM on it
10. Boot into Bootloader and go to recovery
11. Congrats Clockworkmod is back on
12. Install ROM after wiping cache, data and system and there you go FIXED!
(Do not restore a backup if you were on 4ext recovery it will not work. Install the ROM up fresh then get 4ext recovery updater from market and re-install it then you can restore a backup)
You can also run an old RUU.
mOh19973, first of all thanks for the guide!
I followed it after your suggestion here.
I tried this but even though the file's flashed to the phone the issue remains.
I'm not sure if the phone had CWM previously (I wasn't the one who s-offed/rooted it), so I don't know if that would prevent this from working... would it? I also tried this, but when I select recovery the bootloop just resumes...
Also, all the steps that required putting the sd card in another phone were done on a non-rooted Samsung Galaxy Gio, is that ok?
Thanks again for the help!
EDIT: So, after some info/guides on my original thread the apparent conclusion is... fried eMMC. thanks again everybody
recover update is in progress..... but never completes
Hi
sorry to post it here as reply, I am new in this forum and coundn't find link to create a new post.
My problem is:
My HTC Deire S got automatically restarted time and again last week, later it started going hanged, with black screen if I click Power button which wouldn't wake up until I take off battery and restart again. Few days later even that cannon be done. So I tried to factory restart since I didn't had any other option. but it ended with red triangle and exclamation mark.
Now when I put on the device I just get white screen with HTC logo
So I tried recovery updating
Device asks me if I want to start update
when I press 'Yes" I get :
Update is in progress... (in blue)
Do not power off the device! (in red)
But the update never ends, the screen remains as it is with 'updating' information until it has no battery power.
I had tried it for few times it is always same
I hope to get help from friends over here.
By the way I bought the device in China last May, and it came S-OFF
Information I get when I open HBoot screen is

You're phone is not really S-OFF the HBOOT is wrong it should be when s-off 6.98.1002 so make sure you do the steps from revolutionary.io
Thank you very much.
Solution worked 100% at mine case.
Flashed PG88IMG.zip from SD, then flashed
RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe

Phone alive
I want to kiss you for this solution...........Phew, many thanks
so good, thanks a lot :fingers-crossed:
Thanks.
It worked magnificent.

I cant seem to unlock my bootloader because the phone is stuck on the htc screen therefore i cant enable usb debugging.
Is there are any way to do overcome this?

Ok so my brother bought this I believe to be an Inspire 4g from someone on Craigslist, he said she showed it to him and everything was fine.
When he got it home the password screen was on and he couldnt get into it.
I had him try removing the battery and then going into the HBOOT screen and doing factory restore, when this happens it vibrates once then 7 times really quick and stays on the HTC screen. I checked and he doesn't have the SD Card that came with the phone. I gave him one of mine that was formatted to fat32, then when he booted it there is a couple folders on it from the phone but still unable to set it back to defaults. Would I be able to put a factory image on the SD Card and do a restore? If so where can I find a factory image? I don't belive this phone has been rooted yet so it would have to be a AT&T image. Someone please advise, also before you say email her for the password, she wont respond idk if she did this on purpose or what.
Search for the stock ruu, version 1.80 and try running that if you don't want to root.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
I dont mind rooting it but as far as using RUU none of them will recognize phone because the settings are for USB to be charge only and I cannot get past the pin code screen to change it.
Is it possible to get a stock image, put it on the SD card and change it like that?
Or how can I root it without access to install anything on it?
Can you get it into HBOOT? You can install a stock ROM as a PD98IMG.zip, but you need to be able to get into HBOOT. Try pulling the battery for a few minutes, then hold VOL-UP and hit POWER to get to HBOOT.
Try here for the image file:

awesome, ill give it a shot after work this evening. Thanks!!
no dice, it went through the process (failed first time on user data so i ran it again and it was successful) then it said push power button to reboot, it vibrates 7 times then stays on the screen that just says HTC, eventually i removed the battery and powered up to find the stupid password screen still there, tried doing factory reset again and same thing 7 vibrations and htc screen indefinitly. Any other ideas or image files i could try???

The pd98img file should have wiped everything, not sure how the password remained.
Idk maybe try the file again, thirds time the charm.
The only other file I can think of is the gingerbread ruu leak
No Hay de Queso No Mas de Papa
will that work even though I'm not rooted?
Its completely stock, so your fine. Its the update that inspires are suppose to get anyday now. I just have to figure out how to pullthe pd98img zip from the ruu.
I think it puts it in a temp folder somewhere when you run the ruu. Hopefully I can find it, or someone already has it pulled for you
No Hay de Queso No Mas de Papa
so the RUU worked except now when I boot it up .... SAME THING! still asking for password. Same background, nothing has changed!
i ran the ruu again and it says it still has the old version on it wtf?
ok im stumped!!!
you ran the gingerbread RUU?
ive seen this one other time where running the PD98img files said it flashed but it still said the old one. Unfortunately we never got an answer to that
Yea the one on HTC's site fr e the desire failed but the one here worked
http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3872.0
but once it completed and tries to reboot the phone it vibrates seven times and freezes on the HTC screen again.
I manually remove battery to reboot and back to square one.
Ive tried it both with sd card in and out.

try this one, and see if this one works
same deal, update complete, press power to reboot. Vibrate once, HTC screen vibrates 7 times and freezes. Remove battery, battery in, power on, same password screen it boots to.
I hate to tell my brother he got ripped off but it is starting to look that way.
Can you upload some sort of video of you trying to go through the process, for us to see if you are making any errors?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA Premium App
No best I can do is walk through word for word, I'm not new to this by any means I've had a fuse and a tilt 2 that I've unlocked and put custom ROM's on, as well as jailbreaking an Iphone.
So here is what is going on.
Ive done this step with and without SD card in.
1) Removed battery
2) Placed battery back in
3)held down vol, and power until the HBOOT screen comes on.
My options are recovery, factory reset, sim lock, crc img or whatever
4) Vol down to Factory Reset
5) phone reboots with a vibrate like normal, then vibrates 7 times and stays on the HTC screen (white with green letters) until either phone dies or I remove battery.
6) reboot it hoping the factory reset took and no back to the lock screen
-----------------------------------
Didnt work that way lets try putting either the factory image or the updated gingerbread version on!
1) Download the PD98img.zip file
2) put Micro SD card in laptop and format to FAT32
3) move PD98IMG.zip file to the freshly formatted Micro SD Card
4) Remove battery from Phone
5) Put Micro SD card in phone
6) Put Battery in phone
7) Hold down Vol Down and Power Buttons
8) HBOOT Screen appears then checks for PD98IMG.IMG, .nbh, .zip
9) Hboot checks PD98IMG.zip
10) This will update blah blha continue press Vol Up for yes
11) Now with the Gingerbread update it was successful every time, with the factory image it would fail then work the next time.
12) Update Complete press Power to reboot
13) PRess Power
14) reboots, vibrates, HTC screen, Vibrates 7 times and freezes
15) remove battery
16) boot it back up
17) Lock Screen again with this awful goddamn red wallpaper!!
Hi all,
my A510 was half-bricked since I run the wipe option of CWM (version 5.8.4) last month. It can not boot to system, just hang at 'Iconia tab' logo if I power it on.
I tried to flash the stock recovery back, and flash the update.zip from SD. Every time it just stuck in 1/4 of the progress bar. (even change the zip or SD card)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I chose to install the new CWM for A700 ( version 6.0.1.1 ) and success to enter it. All the options can be run without any stuck, except for the wrong picture. I didn't know what to do, so i did all the wipe and format options.
Then it's getting more terrible, it stuck in Acer logo (first screen) after boot, nothing went further.
Last night I tried the SD flash again. I flashed all the roms from this thread, (I tried all the roms and failed to flash any last time)
To my surprise, one of the rom (1.060.00_EMEA_CUS1) can be flashed!
At first it stuck at 1/4 of progress bar as usual, then after a while it went to the 9/10 very quickly!
It reboot a few secs later and I saw 'updating EBT' at the upper left. Then it reboot again.
At the second-time reboot, I didn't see the 'bootloader unlock mode' shown in first sreen anymore, so it seems I made it?:cyclops:
Then I knew I am wrong, it also hang at 'Iconia tab' logo at last. :crying: oh, come on!
I didn't give up and continued to flash other roms. But i was too tired to sleep.:angel:
When i opened my eyes, i saw my tab entered the system finally!
No, wait! What is it?
title: 'XXXX unsuccessful'(my bad, i can't remember the first word)​content: 4 lines of words, about to tell u the tab need to be reset.
So I hit the 'reset tablet' button at lower right corner, then it reboot to recovery immediately. I saw the whole progress bar became very active and went backwards, and i waited it for half an hour, but nothing changed.
'coz that was midnight, i plugged the charger and went to sleep.
When I get up, it just hang there. damn it.
Anybody know what to do next?
p.s. My tab is EMEA-DE version.
Thanks and Regards,
Jokerzlh

First off, CALM DOWN. The fact that you can see the google logo means your phone isn't dead.
Second, do not pull off the battery when you're stuck. Use Nexus root toolkit if you want to do a reboot. Go to Advanced Utilities, Click "Launch", then click Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, or Reboot Recovery.
Make sure you installed the correct drivers for your specific phone model (m200).
Try using the toolkit and set-up your phone correctly. Use PdaNet drivers. Then try to unlock the bootloader again.
Plz Help

Yes i did install the PdaNet Drivers and then unlocked it that but still it is somehow locked... The thing is that when i simply turn on phone it stucks with the google logo on it. Then any command that i may type is just ineffective.. Command windows says "Device searching" but if i start the phone in bootloader menu then computer recognizes the device.....?? i just cant figure out what to do.......I have been trying to sort this issue since last monday but all in vein...
So any solution that might entertain this problem
Go to bootloader, flash a custom recovery, then flash a new rom.

I have a Verizon HTC One M8 that can still power on, but will only go to the black screen with an HTC logo in the center and a triangle with an exclamation mark in each of the four corners. This happened while returning my phone to stock. My computer disconnected from the phone half-way through pushing an RUU flash. The cable wasn't unplugged, the computer just made the disconnect sound and the flash stopped. The phone is not recognized as an adb device, but it is recognized as a fastboot device. This gives me some hope that the phone can be recovered, but any attempt to flash an RUU gives me the error: cannot load "file-name". Any suggestions?
Just to help out anybody trying to figure this out:
The phone will not enter recovery
The phone enters something akin to the recovery page if I disconnect it from the PC, but the only option is RUU and pressing the power button will not do anything (picture attached)

Once you see the triangle you hold volume up then tap power. Try rebooting your PC, pushing that file takes some ram and a reboot will fix it, also try using the adb and fastboot files from dottats s-on ruu thread. Its in the first post i believe and modify your commands to look like this "HTC_fastboot oem rebootRUU" (without the quotes) ect.........itll help the ram issue. Thanks @dottat for showing me this. Try that and report back.

Interesting, I didn't even know there was a version of adb specifically for HTC phones, though, I actually did this to my phone before that thread was ever made (never got around to trying to fix it until now). I'm at work right now, but I'll try it when I get home and update, thanks for the tip!

Just got home and ran the RUU with the HTC fastboot and it worked! At least I'm assuming so, I'm at the Verizon splash screen right now. Thanks so much for your help guys (and to HTC)!
Funnily enough, the soft brick worked out for me. If I hadn't bricked it I would have sold it months ago. I'm on a Droid Turbo now and I think I like the M8 better. So thanks again and I'll update if for whatever reason it's still messed up.

Awesome man, glad you got it working. Also you can try a factory reset after ruu if you've flashed a bunch of Roms and have iffy data

Can it be unlocked now?
I was running on 7.0.4.0 Stable - stock out of box, just rooted straight from 3rd party dealer.
Just to update, now I just disconeccted the device from PC and it cant boot. But it worked 4-5 times before, as I was checking bootloader status after few reboots.
PC sees it as QHSUSB_BULK. It's a hardbrick. Any advices?
From what you've done there, nothing should've changed on the device. It was already unlocked, it comes unlocked out of the box.
What else did you do and what do you mean when you say it can't boot? What happens when you hold the power button for a few seconds? Can you still boot into the bootloader (pwr vol -) or the recovery (pwr vol +)?
It's not a hard brick as long as you can still run fastboot, which should work seeing as that's all you've done.
If it's just the PC not recognizing you could try rebooting, clearing adb and device drivers (you can show hidden hardware in the devices management to find your drivers) and reinstalling them.

What else did you do and what do you mean when you say it can't boot? What happens when you hold the power button for a few seconds? Can you still boot into the bootloader (pwr vol -) or the recovery (pwr vol +)?
It's not a hard brick as long as you can still run fastboot, which should work seeing as that's all you've done.
If it's just the PC not recognizing you could try rebooting, clearing adb and device drivers (you can show hidden hardware in the devices management to find your drivers) and reinstalling them.

UPDATE:
Flashed 7.1.6.0 Stable.
Lost root.
All data and apps present.
Got Chinese apps now.
Google services not working.
It didn't react to whatever I did. Just now I tried holding vol - & power buttons for a minute or two and I got into fastboot. Just reflashed image via miflash and waiting to boot. I see Mi logo and a progress bar loading.
Will report on the outcome.

you are doing right but beware 6.xx latest developer rom, it will lock your bootloader and stock recovery again .

Yes, the stable does not have root. You can choose where to go from here, if you want to push the files for root and gapps yourself, or go with a new ROM entirely.
In any case what is most advisable right now is flashing a custom recovery (TWRP) so you have much more control and a bit of extra safety to know that you can more easily recover if you bootloop.

Fixed Play Services by complete removal and fresh install from MIUI store.
Is there any way I can actually check if my bootloader is locked or not?
Will flashing TWRP (if BL is locked) lead to brick, or will it simply fail and phone will work?
You checked if your bootloader was unlocked in the first post, that's what
Code:
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
means.
Only flashing the official dev builds (for now) will lock your bootloader. The version you installed should not have locked it.
A locked bootloader will make flashing TWRP impossible. So just be sure to stay away from those official dev ROM.

All good. Flashed TWRP (it's got that no response bug every time it boots), rooted.
Will go for sMIUI now.
