Thanks for joining us hear at xda. I would get familiar with the search button on this site. It will come in handy.
Your not the first nor last to have their phone stuck in boot loop. We could all explain how to fix this problem. But you would have no idea what we are talking about if you don't do some research.
So start with searching "stuck in bootloop HTC inspire4g or HTC desire HD" and do some reading. Get familiar with the lingo and ask your questions on one of the 8 topic posts already covering this issue.

Pull the battery, go to bootloader, ensure that you are S-OFF, then go to recovery and flash a new ROM after a full wipe.

1)yes.
2)yes its volume down and power
3)we use it interchangeably
4) you'll see on top pvt ship off, though if it was rooted chances are he didn't put it back son.
So boot into hboot(power and volume down) select recovery. Once in recovery full wipe and reflash a rom.

nice! so once in recovery, how do i full wipe? and i need a rom to flash because i delted everything in his SD card, cause i thought that was the problem
Download a rom from the inspire4g android development forum to your computer. Hook up phone with micro USB to computer put downloaded file on sd card of your phone. (I personally use cyanogen7.1 dhd but there are tons in that section of the forum.)
Once you do that you will be able to upload the Rom in bootloader from your sd card.

To do a full factory wipe you can either chose factory wipe. Or choose wipe cache, then scroll down to advanced and chose to wipe delvic seperatly. Once wiped you can proceed to add new rom as I stated above.

If you still have issues or need a full walkthough. Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20382889. Just remember if you choose to use stock roms you should use the roms for the 4g not the dhd

But to do a full wipe u have to do factory reset AND wipe cache partition & dalvik cache. It's not an either/or deal.

Your correct... my bad wrote that up wrong. But it looks like he already did the factory and cache wipes. So he just needs to do the dalvik wipe and he'll be good.

Can you go into hboot by turning phone on hloding volume down and power button at same time if so see if at top it says s-off.
If yes and its s-off place this zip in root of sd card may need sd adapter to move zip to card go to hboot by powering up with volume down and power button method. Phone will recognize zip volume up for yes and let it do its thing. When done will ask to hit power button to reboot vloume up for yes. Done ATT rooted stock gingerbread rom and radio installed.
Then visit any rom page you want to try and follow their instructions on flashing rom.
PS: I dont mess with radios and kernels no matter what the rom recommends but thats just me.

So i recently downgraded my evo shift from 2.3.3 to 2.2 and booted the cyanogenmod 7 rom to it. everything worked pretty well so i installed a bunch of root apps. I installed juice defender and as of yesterday the wifi and 3g havent been quite working to par. the wifi always has a weak signal and the 3g barley works. it mostly stays on 1x and if it happens to go to 3g it is a weak 3g signal. i have tried restarting my phone and would try a radio update but my bootloader for some reason doesnt even recognize any img files i put on the sd card (i used ruu to flash the downgrade). any help would be appriciated
Well first, get rid of juice defender.. Unless you never use your phone, your draining more battery. Also I've had experience with it causing an issue with my data. Second, the lack of signal tends to be something that happens on AOSP and the crappy sprint network. Uninstall juice defender, clean up your dalvik cache and see how things work. Also install the V8 kernel of kernel manager

Dalvik cache is cleared in recovery under advanced. As far as getting stuck on the HTC logo, try booting back into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache, then flash the kernel again. If it still won't boot then wipe Dalvik/cache and flash a different kernel.. Or reflash CM7 over what you already have.
To Boot into Recovery. Power down ( shut off ) the phone, hold the volume button down, and then press the power button. Let it do it's thing. Then with the volume button move the highlighted section till it's on Recovery. Press the power button. Again using the volume btton move the highlighted secion till it's on Clear Cache. Press the power button. Do the same thing again on the next menu. Let it do it's thing. When it says done the highlighted section should be on reboot. Press the power button and reboot.
EDIT: oh well to late.
ok i flashed the cm7 kernal and cleared the cashe. still nothing. my signal still goes in and out. data is still not working. could i need a radio update? i have android version 2.3.3 with baseband 1.07.00.1129

Did you do a FULL wipe when you first flashed the ROM? Wipe dalvik/cache/Data??
Also couldn't hurt to update your radio..

Format your SD card to fat32, that should help with the img not being recognized. Formatting clears your SD card so make a backup first.
Usually when you flash a fresh ROM it's best to wipe a few times to make sure everything is cleared out. Not sure if that is the issue her or not.

Have you re-downloaded the v9 kernel, there were issues with the earlier version (at least there was on this device).
You could try to download and re-flash whatever was the previous (old) kernel.

I understand but in order for me to do that I need to be able to get to the sd card. Hmmm ok i think i know how to get to the sd card. I could take it out my phone. which leaves me with one question.
how am i going to get to recovery to flash it once again. Ivbe tried to hold the volume down button and hit power. But once im at the screen that says recovery and few other things. I can never move down or up or hit power so it can function. I have no control on that screen.
You do know that this forum isn't for your device. There's probably one specifically for yours.
When you Get to that white screen called the bootloader, the volume keys should navigate through the menus and power acts as select

yea i noticed it wasnt tonight once i got home. I have reposted in the right forum being a lil more detailed.
But once i get to my bootloader i can never select recovery. I never have been able too except a few times. Idk if i did something differently or not. But once im on the bootloader screen. The volume keys or the power button doesnt work.

For getting to recovery try installing android sdk and using adb reboot recovery
From there you can put another rom in the sd card. Wipe all and install a new one, which includes a new kernel inside. (like all of them)
I was stuck at the bootloader after trying to install a corrupt radio. I could get into recovery but it only offered yes or no for the corrupt file.
I removed SD card and pulled battery and restarted, i was then was able to get into recovery and do a wipe and it then booted fine.

Hi guys,
firstly, I KNOW this is pretty much the most frequently asked question on here (apart from the old ICS Camera one) but I really could do with some help.
My signal has always been abysmal, and 3g/data connections never stayed connected. So after much research and deliberation, I decided to install a new Radio.
And now I can't get past the HTC logo, nor enter recovery.
I used the method in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
and the radio I flashed was 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04. Everything was fine in HBOOT, and it seemed to be successful. But now I can't access it - holding down Vol- and Power just resets the device.
I'm sat here waiting for the power to die, though I don't know what I'll do then! I'd really appreciate any advice, I know it gets asked all the time, but there we are...
I had the same problem but managed to solve it by getting into recovery. Does the three key reboot work? If it does, wait for the phone to go off and pull the battery before it comes on again. Then volume down + power. See if it works

Three Key reboot worked, I did what you said and am in Recovery! had to format cache to get out of safe mode. What should I do now, Reboot or go back to a Nandroid backup?
Owe you bigtime already!

You can try to wipe dalvik as well and flash your rom without wiping anything else.
Reboot afterwards.
The bootloop could be related to a incompatible ril.
If it doesn't help, go back to recovery and make the nand restore.

Pull the battery and go HERE.
Make sure you do the "Replace" step mentioned at the bottom of the "HOW TO FLASH A FXZ" section if you were on a 2.3.6 based ROM.
Also, did you have enough battery left (say, around 60-70% to be safe) when this happened? If not, plug it in the wall charger for a while first.
Good luck!
What ROM did you flash? You might need to wipe data/factory reset. Boot up by holding the volume buttons and the power button, then use the volume up button to boot into recovery. Once you see the exclamation mark, press both volume buttons. Then use volume down to scroll to "factory reset" and use the power button to select it.
5:53 guy: i tried to flash the ICS CM9 that they had in the development forum
5:47 guy: i went to the post and went to the fastboot section, but the links provided were either broken or didnt contain the FXZ file. If this help any this is what happened. i backed up my stock rom using the cwm recovery and then when that was succesful, i downloaded the cm9 (but i it was for the droid 3 not the atrix 2 because thats what they said to download in the forum).i wiped all the data cahce and dalvik info. (data x3 , cache and dalvik x1) then i went into "install from zip" and i choose the file they gave me. it finished, i selected reboot the phone, and now im here in a soft boot. CURSE YOU CM9 FOR DROID 3 #lol.
thanks though.
ZOMG! i finally got it using THIS ONE CLICK METHOD! I wish i could remember what forum i got this outta of cause i would give that user a million thanks.

Tried Owain's new ROM with a dirty flash, (silly me ) and when I rebooted, I got the boot image, but it doesn't go past that. After this I was like " Oh I can just go back to CMW and do a clean flash". After the white LG logo the Blue one came up, like normal, but then it just turns into a black screen. I cant go on my phone OR go to CMW to clean flash the ROM. Any help?
So are you not able to get into CWM by booting up with the power and down volume buttons pressed? If not, are you able to get into the S/W update screen? (Battery out, volume button held down, insert USB)
If you can't get to boot into CWM at all but can get into the S/W update screen, you can use NVFlasher to reflash CWM. Or, at worst case, install stock.

Flashing stock just didn't work, still stuck at boot image. Im going to try flashing CMW over stock.
______EDIT_____
WHOOOOOOP!!! IT WORKED!
Ok, now I have CMW. but I still can't boot into my phone. Should I flash different ROM, because I think it is because of Owain's boot image that I am stuck.
Wipe completely then factory reset and then go to mounts and storage and wipe system and then flash a rom. If that's too hard then stick to stock, and read some more. That way you wont have to sit around pulling your hair out and stressing or sitting with a nice paper weight. Good luck.
