Hi all,
I've searched many forums for a solution to my problem but to no avail
I have flashed many roms before hand without a problem (last one installed was OnceICS 1.0.4) and as i have installed the latest release of this rom ( OnceICS 1.1.1) i was given a boot loop after.
I tried multiple roms after this such as android revolution hd and insert coin as well. all of which leave me with a boot loop.
Any solutions to this problem will be greatly appreciated
try taking out your sd card from your phone then flash again. if that dont work try reformatting sd card in recovery. that always works for me when i get boot loop.
cheers mate, ill give that one a try. i'll let you know how i go.
ok well that didn't seem to work any other solutions anyone?
Did you put the new firmware on?
not sure what you mean by that mate :S would that be usually a file named PG58IMG.zip per chance?
Yep, put it on your sd card, boot into bootloader and let it do its job, then remove the file from the sd card

ok well i tried that and it just came back with "Model ID incorrect!" "update Fail!"

Install the latest 3.32 firmware.
Or if you have Super CID you can use this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
if i do try the first method there, what one would i be looking for? there is quite a few ones there to choose from on the 3.32 :S
YAY!! fixed it, just did a firmware update and all went well, thank you all for you help. Greatly appreciated
You need to get the app from the store (CID Getter) to get your MID/CID number, then match it up to the right one.
Yup, make sure you get the firmware with the right CID number or you're in for a world of hurt.

Help! I installed Android Rev 3.0 with no problems at all...worked great! Today I noticed Android Rev 4.0. I saw in the instructions that you needed to WIPE to install. Being a noob, I thought that meant that you had to format the sd card...which I did using rom manager. Then in rom manager I went to install the new Android Rev 4.0 off of my newly formatted sd card...and i've been stuck in a HBOOT loop ever since. I can't even get the phone to be recognized by my computer to try to flash RUU. I do have S-off. I do have the clockworkmod backup recovery.img, system.img and boot.img...but I can't get past this HBOOT loop. I tried everything to get into recovery...but nothing works...even tried system restore...nothing. I think the sd card might have lost its goldcard status because it no longer says "goldcard". Could that be the problem? Any suggestions? I need help before my 30 day return status is gone!

It's not suppose to help getting into recovery. Quick question tho: when you get into bootloader, does any option that you choose send you back to bootloader?
Can you get into fastboot?
If you can this might help.

When the phone starts...it goes into fastboot...then goes to HBOOT...then runs the PD98IMG...updates....goes back to HBOOT screen. When I select recovery...it shows the HTC logo...fades to black...then nothing. No button pressing in the world gets it out of that black screen. I take the battery out...put it back in...and back to the fastboot screen I go. I'm going to try the new updated PD98IMG file mentioned...fingers crossed! I wonder if it would be as simple as getting a SD card file dump from someone who just installed AR 3.0 and putting the same files on my card? I dunno...gonna try the PD98IMG again first!
You might have to run the RUU and then re root

The PD98IMG.zip that I downloaded from this thread worked! I can't believe it! It's a miracle!
If only I didn't snap my sd card cover in half trying to remove it numerous times...I would be completely unfazed...but now I have to scour ebay to find a replacement!
Thanks to everyone who helped! I hope this will help some other lost soul! Now to reroot and get that AR 4.0 installed!
Hboot stuck too

Although i have updated and flashed many roms before.

Hi,
You are trying to flash the wrong firmware.
You need the 3.12 firmware .(just below the 3.06 firmware on the thread page)
This will give you an hboot 1.23 so that you can flash a 6.x.x ROM.
Well thats y i am confused... i had alrdy installed the 3.06 firmware (figd meant i was supercid) and had attempted to do the 3.12 (from the same thread) but its giving me the update error. I just tried it again and exact same thing happens. I believe it is an 18mb firmware file just to be sure its correct?
So far in all my searches i havent read where anyone has had this issue so thats y im confused as to y it wont work!

Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid.....download the file, double click it (don't unzip) then open the text file and add your cid/mid to the list, save and exit, then place file on your sdcard.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

Hiya
I've been stuck on boot loop for the past few hours, it all started when I installed the new firmware that is recommended for VI3.5. Since then I can only get to the HTC Logo and sometimes the beginning of the VI logo.
I've tried superwiping, installing rom again, nandroid restoring everything.
Can anyone give me a suggestion on what to try next? Thanks.
Flash firmware again. Note that it reboots the phone in the middle of the process before flashing some more components. Once this is done, delete PG58IMG.zip from your SD card and flash your ROM.

Okay I will try this when I get back from uni. Thanks
As it was mentioned above - reflash the firmware.
I had the same issue with this ROM, and it helped.
Without the proper firmware to match the ROM, it will never boot up. Most ROMS state with firmware is needed, so check the ROM page.
Okay I got home and redownloaded the firmware from here:
http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/inquisition.html
Put the file on root of memory card and the phone picked it up and went through the process. Installed 3.5.0 and it still gets to the htc logo then reboots.
check the md5 of both rom and firmware before flashing--twice!

The md5 of the firmware was correct, I checked that before flashing it. Dunno about rom though. ROM matches too :/ Any other ideas?
Is there a previous firmware i could try that would work with this rom?

try 3.30 i run it at hypernonsense arhd and it worked so far.
Should it matter which 3.3.0 firmware i install? There are various ones. I had CID before but dunno whether it would have disabled it.

Okay I checked SuperCID with adb and i definitely still have it. I tried flashing the HTC_version1 3.3.0 firmware and the hypernonsense rom, i get to the same stage - htc logo and a tiny bit of the hypernonsense logo.
I finally got it working! After trying almost everything I went back to a early firmware and it came to life.
Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue.
Thanks a ton for all the help though.

I had the same issue! I have never had any luck - period - with firmwares posted in individual ROM threads. They always boot-loop. The only ones that work for my device are the ones posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Very strange...
Lol i also have the same problem. The only fw that works the 3.12 hboot 1.23 one. Havent tried the 3.30 one yet. Do you experience wifi problems by any chance? I had them and it started becoming unbearable after a week, had to go back to gingerbread in the end
I would venture that some elements from an older RUU aren't touched by the new image being flashed. This conflict would cause boot loops I imagine.

I tried to install this new rom but my phone gets stuck on the beats audio screen. I read a thread where I have to upgrade my firmware. I cannot get into my sd card from my computer so I can put it on there, so how can I do this? I have a t-mobile 4g. Can someone please give me link to the firmware I need and instructions on how to get it on my phone since it will not boot up? I thank anyone for their time.

Ok if you have SuperCID then this is the right firmware http://goo.gl/RcbMy
Get yourself a card reader if ADB / Recovery isnt working and put it on the SD card.
Boot into bootloader, and the firmware will update automatically.
Then everything should be merry again !
I tried to install the firmware but it failed. It said incorrect cid. Is there some other firmware that will work? what is a cid and how can I find out which cid is on my phone. thanks for your help.
Read this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
It will explain to you all about CID. You are NOT superCID'd at the moment otherwise the firmware would have flashed perfectly...
So you either need to superCID or find a firmware that matches your CID...
All is explained in the first few posts of the above thread.
So which firmware do I use to super cid? there are no links on the page.
Once you super CID, the firmware you already downloaded should fit.

Hi All, I have been a long way down trying different roms having rooted, SOFF, loading CWM recovery..... all with the help of great articles on this site, which I'm grateful for. However I slightly messed up and cant figure out how to get back to where i was. I deleted the rom software I was running in preparation for loading a different rom but I accidently pulled the battery before the replacement rom was installed. On booting the phone hung on the HTC screen. I can boot into the fastboot but when I try to load recovery the screen goes dark, I presume reboot, and hangs on the HTC screen. Is there a zip file I can load onto the micro sd that will load a rom automatically to get me back?
Many thanks

Hi,
Everything looks good in your hboot area.
Look HERE
Step 1. Flashing 4EXT recovery touch
Get 4 EXT flashed onto your phone.
One of the 3 methods will work.
Place a ROM on your sd card
Then,format all partitions (except sd card).
And flash away.

I'm in a very similar position where I can't get a booting rom.
I've tried a number of ways to achieve S-OFF to no success.
HBOOT is 1.18.000.
CID is HTC__038 (India).
Firmware is 1.52.720.3 (I think).
It's currently unlocked using the HTC dev method, and I've got the EXT4 recovery.
I've tried adding the CID to Europe RRU updates, but that always errors in a 12: Signature failed.
I've tried reloading the stock recovery and relocking the phone.
From what I can tell, to S-OFF for 1.18 requires a bootable rom, which I just can't achieve right now.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
You can always flash a matching RUU.

Unfortunately a matching RUU doesn't seem to exist. Google only finds about 4 search results, of which is most useful points back here where someone else is asking for it to no avail.
I've tried shipped-roms.com and a filefactory.com archive, but none suit this particular version.
