[Q] Bricked, HTC BOOTLOOP, No RECOVERY, Begging You

hi all xda community !
So here is the situation :
HBOOT Screen :
***UNLOCKED***
pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
HBOOT-1.27.0000
Radio-11.21.3504.13_2
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.226.00.0104
eMMC-boot
Symptom:
I'm Stuck in a bootloop after i flash the 3.24 firmware and the Elegancia ROM.
First Time the roms boot normaly, then i reboot with the USB Cable attach.
And here come the BootLoop
Try to go to recovery, but bootLoop too.........
So I can go in Hboot, i can do FASTBOOT command and that all.
I try to flash CWM from fastboot -- > Ok for flash but wont go in recovery..
Try to flash 1.17 firmware then flash ROM.zip from 1.35Ruu Europe release --> Bootloop
Try to Flash 3.24 Ruu Same BOOTLOOP..
So what can I do community ?
What Solution i have ?
Why i cant flash a recovery since i Have S-OFF ??
MAYBE :
- Maybe i flash a Ruu who was Corrupt
- Maybe the radio don't match the Ruu i Tried to flash
- Maybe i'm just a simple mind guy
It seems that the 3.24 Firmware from SebastianFM with hBoot unlock have some problem, cause it seems that i'm not the only one who got several problem after flash this Firmware.

I got you. Actually you do not have any custom recovery installed. Actually if you flash any RUU it will wipe your recovery partition and install stock recovery. So first you flash a custom recovery. I know you tried to flash CWM.But you got bootloop. Did you delete the file PG58IMG.zip from sdcard after flashing CWM ???? Please redo the following steps.
STEPS TO FOLLOW:
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation here .
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Remove the battery.
5. Wait a minute.
6. Put the battery again.
7. Press Power + Volume Down key together.
8. The phone will boot into bootloader.
9. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
10. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
11. It may not boot . Do not worry because you may have wiped out evrything.
12. Power off your phone.
13. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card .
14. Download your favorite custom ICS ROM.
15. Put it on the root of your SDCARD.
16. Remove the battery.
17. Wait a minute.
18. Put the battery again.
19. Press Power + Volume Down key together.
20. The phone will boot into bootloader.
21. Select "Recovery" by pressing Volume Down Key.
22. Press Power button after selecting Recovery.
23. Your phone will reboot into clockworkmod recovery.
24. Wipe system, boot, cache, data , and dalvik cache
24. Install your ROM from SDCARD.
25. Wait at least 7 to 10 minutes for first boot
26. Your phone will be normal now.
NOTE:
******* You must be SuperCID to do the above. Please also note , from your preveous post, I understand that you have V3.24 Firmware. Remember only ICS rom will work with this firmware. So do not flash Gingerbread ROM.**********

hi help is appreciate,
`So i tried to follow your step 3 times . One with 1.17 Firmware 3.12 & 3.24.
every time after flashing the recovery, i reboot and when i go to recovery the phone go into boot loop.

Which ROM you want to flash ??
Why did you try all three firmware ???? You should choose your firmware according to your ROM you want to flash.
You may get boot loop after flashing recovery as there might be no rom installed.
So as I said after flashing recovery you should power off your device. Then boot into bootloader by the preveous method. ( Step 3 to 7 ).Selct recovery by volume down key. Then press power button. You will be in recovery. And flash your ROM. But your ROM should match with the firmware.

Ok but How could i flash a ROm if i can't go to recovery ...

Ok maybe you miss understand, i got boot loop when i want to go to recovery too

Please tell me what ROM you want to flash. Post the link here. And once again you give the details of your boot loader screen. Do you have fastboot/adb set up on your PC?

So, Let fix the recovery first.
Download this attatched recovery (4Ext Touch).
MD5 Checksum : d31d7df8d275f7234416af6a2e8b1c73
Check the md5check sum after download. If it matches , go to the next step else redownload.
Put the downloaded recovery.img in the directory of your fastboot binary.
Connect your phone with pc via usb cable.
Reboot your phone into bootloader.
Open fastboot command from your pc.
Now type the following command in fastboot.
" fastboot flash recovery recovery.img "
After flashing type " fastboot reboot"
Now try to go to recovery. If it is successfull then I will tell you the ROM flashing part.
Please come on gtalk . My gtalk id is musarraf172

ok i'm on gtalk wait for ya

so i'm still in the BOotLoop mode.
i've tried almost everything who was in the forum.
i'm aware of the noob style problem(Firmware not updated, still got PM58IMG.zip in SDcard, wrong Rom--firmware etc ..) and i'm not in this case !!!!
I think the device is brick but maybe someone with good knowledge, and experience can help me.
For now i got the last Hboot, i can flash recovery from fastboot , the command return OK but recovery wont boot.
Ruu flashing run nice with no problem but don't Boot (.exe and PM58IMG.zip).
when i try to unlock bootloader (who is already mark S-OFF but just for try)
with the HTCDEV method i'm stuck on the Unlock bootloader screen and i can't click YES.
it seems that my data partition have disappear ...
I here if you need more information.
Maybe someone can tell me if it's possible to FullWipe from fastboot ?

if yo can go in fastboot your likley not bricked.
you can always flash the original or similar ruu (not a rom) you phone came with in fastboot.
so you will go to stock with your hboot and recovery and to see if it boots.
then do the whole process over. s-off, then root.
then check your mid and cid if its supported.
and only then update to ics.
btw whats the type of phone? branded or og htc

my phone is from vodaphone so branded.
What do you mean by flashing your original or similar Ruu ?
The one coming with the phone out of box ?
i flash via command, .exe or PM58IMG.zip ?
i don't write my original cid is it bad ?

yes the rom the phone came with or close to it (any with recent ota`s).
always flash the ruu.exe because it wil recover the hboot, radio and recovery to stock. (zipfiles can be easily corrupted)
so go in fastboot usb (via power and volume button) and run the ruu.exe
then s-off/root the device
when s-off you should be able to install recovery within the original rom like cwr or ext4 updater tool, backup, then check your mid and cid, get a correct zipfile for the ics firmware update, flash arhd (it includes the lastest ext4 recovery). then change roms if you like.
you then also can check if the phone is working correctly.
if you already changed to supercid, i think its oke.
if not, on the forum there is al list of cid`s from different countrys and brands.
also there is al list of originals ruu the devices came with.
i assume you have done custom roms before ics came out?
so the cupercid was applied correctly?
i never supercid my devices (on a personal note)
and always flashed the testroms (to get the latest firmware) with no probs.
but if your branded its mandatory.

i've already flash 3 Ruu from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
and all finish in a bootloop with no stock recovery... almost all Ruu run fine with no alert
ruu i flashed already :
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.

[Q] Firmware Upgrade - Help Needed

Last night I finally achieved S-Off,and am trying to upgrade my firmware from 3.32 to 3.33 (universal). I loaded the PG581MG.zip onto my SD card. When I follow the steps to get the new firmware via bootloader, it continues to give me No Image! errors on the screen.
What am I doing wrong? Here are some details:
ROM: Android Revolution HD 1.2.2
Android version: 4.0.3
Sense: 3.6
Firmware: 3.32.531.14
Kernel: 3.0.16 -v1.5.0 Sebastian FM#1
CDI: T-Mob010
MID: PG5810000
Am I having some sort of Fastboot issue? Any help would be appreciated.
David

How I updated my firmware was placed the pg58img file at sd card root. Then removed battery, put battery back in press power and volume down. The device then asked to update, press power for yes . After update DELETE the pg58img file and you're done. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll give it a try and see if it works.

connect the phone from bootloader/fastboot to PC (phone reads FASTBOOT USB after this )
copy the PG58IMG.zip file to the adb/fastboot folder of PC
then open command prompt from the adb/fastboot folder
(if windows hold shift + right click -> open command window here )
then first check the connect of the phone to pc via typing this command
fastboot devices
it should show your device ...if it is showing then continue
type these commands one by one ..as follows
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it )
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC )
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (this is tha actual flashing process ..don't cancel it in the middle ..its highly dangerous to do so ..and ignore the green progress bar )
fastboot reboot-bootloader (reboots to bootloader after its complete)

Tried - didn't work
I removed the battery and tried what you suggested, but it didn't work. It continues to say "No Image!" over and over again.
Any other suggestions?

i believe i posted a solution

Thanks!

I have followed your steps, and am still having issues. When I use the command "fastboot devices" nothing happens. For whatever reason, it can't see my device.
Any suggestions?

Just read your first post mate and you've typed PG581MG.zip. is this what it is actually called because it should be PG58IMG.zip (as in the letter I not the number 1) otherwise it won't flash.

yes it means that you are still in 3.32 fw version
but for sure check it from connecting your device to pc
reboot to bootloader
open the command window and do
fastboot getvar version main
it will show you the exactly fw version

[Q] stuck on juopunutbear screen

i have searched and have found many people with similar problems but none of the solutions have helped me, that said i apologise if ive missed the answer.
so ive used htcdev to unlock my bootloader which went fine then ive decided to "s-off" my phone which has gone fine, well im "s-off"ed however im stuck on the juopunutbear screen everytime i turn the phone on.
ive tried guide on the unlimited.io website - controlbear.exe -r, controlbear.exe -f. when i carry out the next point when i get to "fastboot flash recovery recovery_backup.img" i get a failed.
this i believe has happened because i started the process in kgs1992's aio app which crashed so i shut it and completed in controlbear, i cant think where else i went wrong, ive read loads of guides.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLPP........gotta ring my dad tomorrow which atm isnt gonna happen!

And are you still struck at the juopunutbear screen?
Then what error you got when you used fastboot command?
... wait why did you do juopunutbear when you are already soff?
Edit:
Got the point..
Try those fastboot commands again
Connect the phone properly .. you should connect the phone properly.. If connected properly the phone says FASTBOOT USB .. if it's just saying FASTBOOT then you didn't have drivers installed or the connection is not proper.
If it's saying HBOOT press power button once.. That should take you to required screen

If Struck on juopunutbear screen:
Well, there's an easy solution if you're struck on the juopunutbear boot screen on your phone. Follow the steps in order:
1.Open the folder where you've extracted the juopunutbear setup files.
2.There'll be a image file in the folder called "boot_backup".
3.Copy that file to the folder you've created during the bootloader unlocking process from HTCDev. The folder contains the fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll etc files, and probably it is in your c:\Android.
4.Rename the copied boot_backup image file to "boot" only.
5.Take out your battery out, reinsert it and boot into the bootloader mode using volume down + power button.
6.You'll see a red writing " fastboot usb"
7.See your computer screen now, the current folder where you copied and renamed.
8.Holding "shift" button on your keyboard, right click inside the folder and select "open command promp window here".
9.Type the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and press enter.
10.Then type" fastboot reboot" and press enter.
11.Your phone should reboot normally now.
[****The above method is based on stock sensation rom. If you're struck in a custom rom, then in step 3, copy the boot.img file of the custom rom from where you've downloaded your rom and continue the steps******]

Make sure you unplug all usb devices when doing juopunutbear method, I couldn't do it for hours then I unplugged all devices and restarted PC. It worked on 1st try.

Help Required - Stuck and splash

Greetings.
This is a long (and sad) story, take a breath..
Me and my wife both have Sensation for over two years.
Mine is Revolutionized s-off etc for a very *VERY* long time...
Her Sensi was stock till some stock apps drove her mad and a couple of months back I got it HTC dev unlocked, with 4ext, but JB method for s-off (with the wire trick) was giving me a hard time, so I just kept it s-on and tmp rooted, killing some stock apps.
Now the mess begins.
After some complaints that it's slow and gets stuck, I wanted to add some nice kernel to the pack - Sebastian's.
Since it's s-on, I picked "SmartFlash" BUT completely forgot about USB-Debugging...
So flashing the kernel made a whole mess, and it's stuck on splash. Also fastboot-usb is impossible as the usb-debugging is off.
I know.. I know.. RUU right?
I'm on Linux - which makes running RUUs virtually impossible...
Nonetheless, I extracted the rom.zip out of an ruu_pyramid_le_ics_35_s_htc_asia_wwe_3.32.707.110_r2_radio_11.69a.3504.00u_11.23.3504.07_m2_release_254511_signed.exe I had around, renamed it PG58IMG.zip - and with all the joy put it on the root of the SDCard.
The phone's CID is HTC__044 and it matches the one in the RUU rom (asia wwe).
But.. hboot, while taking its time to figure out what that PG58IMG file contains.. does nothing at all once it process it.
Current situation - I restored my wife's backup on my phone, and gave it to her, leaving me with.. a semi-brick.
I could not find an RUU for 3.33.707.51 which was the version on the phone prior to this fiesco, if you know where to get it - please let me know..
Other than that I know this is solvable, as I am able to get into recovery and hboot, but how?
Phone details:
HBoot 1.27.0000
CID HTC__044
4ext recovery touch
Firmware 3.33.707.51
Radio 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M

Why fastboot usb is not possible? Usb debugging is not at all required for fastboot command access
Do this
Extract the boot.img of any rom which has sebastian kernel as default (elegancia rom i think?)
Then copy it to your adb/fastboot folder of your pc
Then boot your phone to bootloader (remove battery, reinsert it then hold volume down + power button)
then connect the device to your pc (as your pc is linux.. It's more easy now.. No need to fetch drivers and all)
When connection is proper the phone says fastboot usb.. If it says hoot.. Press power button once
Then this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Would fastboot commands would work for an s-on device?

Can't access recovery

A friend has given me his Desire S to fix what I originally thought was just a stuck power button that prevented it from starting up. But the button is now fixes and I've been trying the last few days to get it to start up.
What I have tried so far is to enter Recovery mode, but upon choosing it, the phone would just go to the HTC logo screen, fibrate once and then fibrate agian after a second or two for a few times and the screen would go blank. The same happens with normal bootup. It also seems that the phone is still running with the blank screen because I have to pull the battery to startup again.
I then tried to use the latest RUU (Android 4.0) from HTC but the phone is not recognized by the computer (I think it is because it didn't startup enough to be able to present itself to the computer). So I unlocked it and used fastboot (from Ubuntu as OS) to flash the recovery (recovery_signed.img) and boot (boot_signed.img) from the RUU. With this recovery and normal startup would remain at the HTC screen and wouldn't go blank as before - still fibrates a few times.
I also tried to rename the rom.zip to PG88IMG.zip and putting it on a SD and the bootloader does detect it, but presents the normal boot screen afterwards (I think it complains about it being incorrect - the display is too quick for me to see the error).
Now I also have a Desire S and made a backup of it before I installed a custom ROM. So I also tried the recovery.img that I have from this backup, but then recovery is stuck on the blank screen again.
Is there anything that I did wrong, missed or may not have tried yet? And how can I go about to fix it?
PHONE DETAILS (from bootloader screen)
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot

The PG88IMG wont work coz ur s-on. Ul need to extract the zip file and put the recovery.img in ur fastboot folder and then flash it from fastboot, volume down + power then select select fastboot then plug ur phone into pc and open a fastboot command window and type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also a ruu u run from fastboot and u need to relock ur bootloader.
(i dunno how all this is done using ubuntu but thats how on windows so im sure ul know or figure it out)

Ok, didn't know that I needed S-OFF for PG88IMG - thanks for pointing that out . I did flash the recovery (paragraph 3), it is just named `recovery_signed.img` and not 'recovery.img` - I assume that there isn't a difference between the two?
Do I open the RUU while in fastboot on the phone (after relocking) or do I run it from a fastboot command?
(On Ubuntu fastboot is installed as a program so I can call it after I CD to the extracted rom folder and I assume it is working since I didn't get any errors)

Well it depends, could be 4ext recovery, CWM, or TWRP. But as far as the name, could be called peterpan.img and it wouldnt matter haha

Yh boot ur phone into fastboot, connect it to pc, relock bootloader and then run ruu. The ruu should be exe file so just double click it to run.

Ok, relocked it and went into fastboot mode and then opened the RUU, but was not recognized. Then followed this (droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/) since I used Win 8.1 for the RUU and it flashed successfully.
But it is still stuck on the HTC screen - gave it 30 minutes for the first boot after flash. Recovery is also still stuck, so I reflashed and same issue.
Radio is now 3831.19.00.110
