I have the HTC Inspire 4G. I have a rooted stock rom from Bubby 323. My screen turned black when entering Clockwork recovery mode so I tried the Engineering S-Off method and when I flashed it said "Corrupt bootloader, do not turn off phone. Contact XDA" Does anyone have a suggestion on a fix? I have not turned off my phone since then. I used the one click S-Off method found here.
I had the same error and nearly crapped my pants thinking I bricked my phone. Its not really a big problem. Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage apps and clear the data from Superuser. Reconnect your phone making sure you're on charge only, usb debugging. Run the Eng S-off tool and watch your phone as it attemps to push the data. Superuser should pop up asking to let the Eng tool have privs. Click allow and it should work fine. CWM has been working great for me ever since!

You would think that if the program displayed a message telling you not to turn off your phone and check. XDA for a solution that he could have included the instructions you just gave.

HELP! Corrupt Bootloader, Do Not Reboot!
I have an Inspire 4G and i was trying to put ENG-OFF following this steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 to run "Desire HD s easy-off.exe" gave me "Bootloader is Corrupt. DO NOT REBOOT!" (He went out alone) and I could not take him with anything, you connect to the charger and nothing, the PC and nothing, as 20 minutes after i had pressed the power button turned on the cel with the white screen and vibrating continuously approx 8min, the problem is that in the beginning it takes too ... Now every time I reboot so, and if I discharge the battery will be useless because I do not grab power when connected to the charger or the pc .....
- I can not enter the bootloader, I managed to do with the "Super Tool V3" and the recovery reinstall the ROM, I thought it would end the problem but stayed the same, takes too long to start and does not grasp the power of the charger ... .
What can i do? What is it?
If I noticed that the bootloader says "ENG-OFF" and if you step back to ENG-ON?
I greatly appreciate (and have no idea how) that can help me please .....
(sorry about my english)

You messed up your bootloaders by not paying attention to the big bold red letters in that thread. Go to the Ace Hack Kit thread and grab the link to the IRC room. Then tell them what you did and they should be able to help you out.
Hello,
I have an Evo Shift stuck in the boot loop. As soon as I put the battery in all it does is reset itself to the screen with the white background and green "HTC" logo, and will keep restarting until the battery dies.
If I hold volume down and turn it on, it does go into the bootloader, but picking ANYTHING, such as recovery or factory reset, does nothing but sending it back to the HTC screen.
I have tried flashing the RUU.exe (2.27.651.2) through Fastboot USB and it completed successfully, but it just restarts right back to the HTC screen. I have also put PG06img that I found on here on the root of my card, and it will never load it up.
Are there any other solutions anyone can think of? They would be much appreciated. I see a lot of these threads for regular Evos, but not for Shifts.
The only other thing I really know about the phone is that it is:
S-On
Hboot- 0.98.0001
Radio- 1.08.00.0506
Thank you so much for all of your help!
Seems to me you aren't rooted and that's more than likely your problem, boot into fastboot and use the ruu application for gingerbread.

While I am pretty sure I am not rooted, if you are talking about the early RUU release; 1.17.651.1, the application starts and then ends up failing in the beginning of the process. Is this what you are talking about? The drivers should be all good, the application starts to flash and then dies though. Thanks!

Use the new RUU. But make sure your SD card is formatted to a FAT32 partition. (Stock 2gig sd card and some other store boughts are not)
You can format on your computer and then place the RUU on the root of sd card again
(Bootloader won't recognize the ruu zip if not partitioned)

Ok, I just did this, everything updated fine and all completeted on the bootloader. It then said "press power to reboot." I did so, and went right back into the same boot loop. Any other ideas. I figured running this, and the RUU.exe on the computer were the sure fire ways to get this thing working again???

So just a little information.
you said your not rooted?
So that means you have no ability to flash anything because you have no custom recovery and the bootloader isnt unlocked (S-on)
So what DID you do before it bootlooped? there had to have been something you were trying to do.
Not trying to blame anything on you at all just want to make sure we are helping the most accurate way possible

No I hear ya. I was sold the phone fairly cheap and was told "all you need to do is to reinstall the RUU, that is all that is wrong." Obviously I was skeptical, but when I checked everything out, everything looked good, and again, for the price, I knew it was a gamble. That being said, I'm sure something was tried in order to modify the phone and this is how it got like this.
I have soft bricked my old Evo 4g a handful of times and an RUU or Rom flash would always solve the problem.
Anyway, there is no custom recovery, and I'm pretty sure theres no root because it is still "S-ON," I am just trying to see if anyone here has any more info before it goes in for repair.
The only last thing I would guess you MIGHT be able to do is to install a custom recovery, but is there ANY way to do this by just being in the bootloader and using FASTBOOT USB? Any more help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It shouldn't have a custom recovery if it shows s-on.
I don't see why the RUU wouldn't work.
Honestly it doesn't sound like a softbrick- sounds like its just bricked (Which ive only heard of 1 Shift getting bricked completley)

I'm trying to resolve a very similar problem as him, but I know of the history of my phone (since I'm the only owner), so hopefully an answer for me can assist him also.
The Story: One day, I'm playing Uno HD (downloaded from Android Market). I toss out a Draw 4, and then I see: "Google Infrastructure Failure" and a Triangle with an exclamation mark. I reset the phone, and it starts up fine. Then a few hours later, my phone randomly restarts itself into the bootloader screen after trying to reload the home screen (because the memory manager is overly aggressive).
I see no HTC Screen. It goes straight to the bootloader without any input. If I plug it to the charger from an off state, the amber light comes on, and 10 seconds later, bootloader screen. With a battery, it appears automatically after 45 seconds.
Fastboot can read my memory card just fine. It's already been re-formatted as FAT32 in my pitiful attempt to try to repair it. It's checked and read a PG06IMG file I placed on the SD Card's root, went through the entire process of reading it, but it doesn't ask me if I want to upgrade. It takes me back to the original screen. (Maybe I'm loading the wrong file).
Recovery and Factory Reset immediately restarts the bootloader after showing me the skateboarding android splash screen.
I've also tried to flash the newest stock RUU for it. (2.76.651.4), but after the RUU sends the command to start up in bootloader mode, the phone shuts off. Thus giving me the connection error.
(Maybe if someone could rewrite the .exe file to not send out the command to begin loading as if it was in the bootloader screen, it could work. I'd pay for that.)
Other Stuff:
ROM: Stock Sprint Gingerbread OTA ROM. I've been living the vanilla life. No root access. No funny stuff. Just a stock phone with apps (Third Blade, Uno HD, ASTRO File Manager, ect...)

Is there a way we can flash a file from the SD Card which will turn off the security and/or temp/perm root it? (forgive my noobness for such a question)
EDIT: I'm referring to a way that's outside of the adb push method. My device can't be found, and the device won't get past the bootloader screen, so that method doesn't help me too much. However, I do have the ADK Installed and the ADB Command Line works fine.
Ok .. HERE'S THE SOLUTION:
First off all if your S- ON it means you are NOT rooted
If you get stuck in a bootloop .. don't worry it can be fixed.
What you need to do is download PG06IMG.ZIP and place it on your sd card, you can access your sd card by going into recovery then mount section, then usb. This will allow you to move the file from your computer to the root of your sd card.
Once you do this be sure you back up any info you don't want to lose. Once you have the file in place, go back to fastboot ( hold vol down and power) it will read file and when it asks you to update press vol up. It will take a few minutes to update this will revert your phone back to stock but if you have an old recovery it will not do a full restore, it will only update the rom.
Once you get your phone back to working, I recommend updating your recovery by downloading Rom Manager and flashing the latest clockwork recovery. This problem happens usually due to an old recovery.
One other thing you can try if you do NOT want to reset your phone, you can try flashing a new kernal.

If you want to root your phone use visionary to temp root then use shift rr .. you can then flash a custom recovery which is essential to avoid this from happening again

For the thread starter, the person that sold you the phone probably tried writing to the system partition with s-on. Since you can get to the bootloader, see if you can get into recovery. If you can, recovery can be seen in adb, even the stock recovery. From there, gingerbread root, plenty of guides out there, make sure you flash the misc.img, download the froyo downgrade zip (that pgimg09.zip or something like that, just search for it, but not with the numbers I just gave, those are made up.)
From there either flash the gingerbread zip or ruu, and goon with a unrooted life. Or follow one of the many guides to froyo root, and live the life of the rooted. Your choice.
For the second person with a similar issue, the same method will work for you (assuming you can get to recovery), gingerroot, froyo downgrade, and since you like being unrooted, just ruu or zip back to gingerbread.
Solution found enjoy, and just think, if root hadn't been discovered for gingerbread, you would be screwed right now, make sure to thank otaking.
I have the same boot loop problem. I tried using the PG06IMG.zip file and fastboot/bootloader screen says I have the wrong image. It's most likely because it's for 2.2 and I have 2.3. I also don't have any recovery. Is there a PG06IMG.zip for 2.3 or the like?
similar problem here
i'm fairly certain i tried recovery with the wrong or corrupt or incomplete PG06IMG.zip on my first attempt. i got the right one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255474

and... that didn't help
i'm downloading the zip again right now.
since i have s-on, will i be able to install it though?
i can get the file on the root of the sdcard with an adapter since i can't push from adb. and i can't temp root the phone because if i try a normal reboot i get this stupid boot loop. is there a way to get s-off through hboot on the phone?
i don't know why i didn't notice that first file was messed up, it was only 6MB.
hi,
Ive recently rooted my phone with no problems using the ace hack kit. i tried flashing the newest andriod revolution hd rom and was having problems with the superuser app force closing and the phone wasnt giving me root privledges. i decided to try and reroot the phone using the ace hack kit. (i realize this was my mistake). it stopped in the middle of the process. so i had to pull the battery. when i tried turning the phone back on the screen was black for about 6 or 7 mins. no vibrations or leds to indicate the phone was on. then the htc white screen comes on and the phone vibrates for 2 or 3 minutes straight and proceeds to come on. Ive tried to flash other roms using cwm recovery and itll load what ever rom i choose but i cant get into the hboot or anything and it does the the black screen everytime along with the vibration. is there anyway to fix this? ive tried over and over to boot into recovery through usb but it doesnt work.
so ive done a little research, could this be a eMMC problem? if so is it fixable... And if not would replacing the hboot help?
You've got a bad or corrupt hboot. The wrong hboot (ENG hboot included in a short-lived version of the hack kit on the newest run of Inspires) or a corrupt hboot from an interrupted hack kit run.
Thanks for the help. I tried replacing the eng hboot with the link provided on freenode and it work.
After a failed attempt at running the ace hack kit (could only get into hboot), and an ever worse failed attempt at restoring to a stock rom (my stupid mistake), I am seeing the same signature as jbryancs.
Would you share the link and instructions for replacing the hboot? Any assistance is much appreciated.

really? so jumping into the IRC channel is not your best move as instructed to the OP?
I was hoping not to disturb the IRC, but I will jump in tomorrow. Just for background, here's a rough list of what I've done and what I'm seeing now.
Setup: Linux Mint 11 (Ubuntu Derivative) Clean Install for ACE Hack Kit, WinXP for the rest.
1. Ran ACE Hack Kit first time -> stalled early in process
2. Rebooted phone and everything appeared normal
3. Rac ACE Hack Kit second time -> completed process, but noticed some errors/warnings along the way
4. Rebooted phone and it would be stuck at the white HTC logo screen
5. Rebooted to hboot, but none of the options there would restore the phone.
6. Downloaded original ACE firmware and copied ZIP to SD card. It recognized this and performed install, in all appearances successfully until the reboot.
7. On reboot, the phone appeared completely dead. Later discovered that it would spring to life after ~7mins, vibrate 2-3 min, and then boot into Froyo
Phase II
1. Downloaded gingerbread RUU from HTC and ran it. Gets stuck on "Waiting for bootloader"
2. Thought perhaps hboot was corrupted, so ran instructions here "wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Ace:_Rooting_%26_CyanogenMod" to install hboot-eng and clockworkmod
3. This did not fix the booting (still wait 7mins, vibrate 2-3), but I do have root now, as verified through su root on the phone's terminal console.
4. Tried the RUU again, stuck on "Waiting for bootloader"
5. Noticed that if I had the phone USB connected to the PC when power cycling, it would come to a black HTC screen after about 7mins. In this mode, the phone seems to connect in Android bootloader interface.
6. Tried the RUU again, and this time it makes it past "Waiting for bootloader", but hangs (no error message) on "Sending". I've left it for nearly an hour with no change -- just keeps showing the black HTC screen.
I still can't get the phone into HBOOT (using the volume down + power method).
Hello,
Could someone tell me if there's an enclosure or a solution to this problem?
I've searched a few forums, and it appear to me that the conclusion is the old (ENG) HBOOT is incompatible with newer hardware.
Thanks.

You will have to flash the original RUU again and then try to root the cell with the Hack Kit. You can find the original RUU in the general section or go to the htc site and just run the .exe update from fastboot. Let your cell reboot (it will take about 30 minutes) and then flash it.

Has bought from the USA of HTC Inspite 4g (AT&T). Wanted to receive Root, S-OFF, Rom manager with ClockworkMod. Has started to do to change an insertion. Has received goldcard. After an overload phone has started to change an insertion. This process proceeded 2 hours (in the end of process there was a black screen). I have decided to overload phone. Has stopped process. After that problems have begun. Root, S-OFF, Clockworkmod I have received. But after reboot of phone it does not work about 10 minutes. 5 minutes at it absolutely black screen, then the white screen with an inscription of HTC simultaneously work 3 minutes the motor, loading of 2 minutes then begins. Process of switching-on or reboot of phone proceeds 10 minutes. Tried to replace an insertion once again. After that changes nothing. Did before setting of an insertion full surep wipe. It has not helped. I still have a problem. I want to enter into engineering menu HBOOT. I push down+power. I wait for 5 minutes (phone so is overloaded). I enter in HBOOT, but thus buttons (volume up and down, power) any more do not work. As to me to receive normal phone. I can not HBOOT make in it recovery. Where to me to take for HTC INspire 4G (AT&T) PD98IMG.zip. Also help me with the instruction. How to apply this file in RECOVERY.
I'm having a hard time with your English (or is it just fed into google translate?).
It looks like you installed the ENG hboot on a later model device that is incompatible.
You need to get it to boot (it will eventually) and put the newer hboot back on it. You can do this through ADB from a console. Here are the instructions:

I had a hard time with his English too, but I understand exactly what he is saying because I did the same thing. I will try to re-explain it and hopefully someone can help us out.
In a nutshell, it sounds like we both flashed an Engineering HBoot starting with a stock US ATT Inspire 4G that came with Gingerbread. Specifically, what I did was I followed a guide on Cyanogenmod's wiki for the Inspire 4G which gave direction to downgrade to Froyo, root, and setup to use eng hboot. This apparently was a huge mistake. After the downgrade, when rebooting or powering on the phone, nothing would happen for a long time (black screen for 5 - 10 minutes, i.e. phone was off), then, screen would turn on with white background and HTC logo and phone would vibrate non-stop for several minutes, and eventually, phone would turn on. After the downgrade and making it to the home screen, I copied CM7 zip on to the SD card and rebooted into recovery via adb. Same exact weird process happened with phone being off for several minutes, then vibrating, then eventually i made it to cwm recovery. After installing CM7 and rebooting, same crazy startup process and made it into CM7 home screen.
I was hoping once CM7 was installed that the crazy startup process would disappear but it didn't. I saw afterwards in a CM forum that this happened to someone else and they had asked if the wiki could be updated to point to the Ace hack kit guide to rooting the Inspire 4g (which mentions that eng hboot shouldn't be used with the phone I had as configured). I then rebooted into bootloader via adb and after crazy startup and fastboot did not work at all (fastboot devices returned nothing). Further still, no buttons work in hboot at all (Vol Up, Vol Down, Power).
At this point, I could still get into the phone, but I wanted to try to undo everything I did and start over using the Ace hack kit. I then tried to use the Ace hack kit to unroot the phone by using the ATT GB RUU. The process seemed to go pretty far, but after a reboot, the phone never came back, and that's where I am currently. If I start the phone, it does crazy startup but never fully boots...stays on white HTC screen forever...which means I can't use adb (to my knowledge). I was able to get to hboot by putting elastics around volume down button and waiting a very long time, but it looks like hboot is still the eng hboot because none of the buttons work and I can't use fastboot. I was hoping that as part of RUU flashing that hboot would be restored to original one. I put the RUU (PD98IMG.img) on SD card, but again I can't get to it because buttons don't work.
So, it sounds like spv4 above is in a very similar boat. I have no idea what else to try. Only thing I can think of is if it's possible to somehow modify an RUU to start automatically when getting to hboot without any user input.
If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than willing to try anything. Thanks very much.
EDIT: So, as I was typing this post earlier, I had been "sitting" in hboot the whole time. When I was done, I looked at phone and PD98IMG.zip was been applied to phone automatically! Don't know if this was common knowledge or not, but everything updated OK. When it was done, hitting the power button to reboot didn't work, but I just removed battery and when putting it back in, phone booted normally back to what looks like stock RUU. Hopefully this info helps someone else.

Great! Glad you got it back, but you could have saved a lot of time.
The main problem is that the ENG hboot (or pre-GB hboots) doesn't recognize something in the hardware of the new phones. The end result is that the hboot runs at about 50x slower. It eventually gets booted, and once booted to an OS (either the main OS or the recovery OS) it runs fine since hboot has exited and passed control to the OS. So anytime hboot is in control, things crawl at a snail's pace.
Because the OS runs fine and hboot has exited, it is possible to overwrite the hboot partition from the booted OS. That's what you are doing in the instructions that I posted a few posts back. Once the correct hboot is installed, all is fine.
I agree that someone needs to update the cyanogenmod wiki. It's way out of date.
I'm currently experiencing the same problem.
I followed the instructions on how to downgrade using a goldcard, successfully rooted and i also flashed TrickDroid on it, but every time i turn the device on i have to hold the power button for 20 seconds and wait 10 minutes till the HTC logo appears, then it takes 2 minutes vibrating and i seriously can't deal with this.
can you please tell me how to fix this?

Find the fix in the guide in my signature....you need to have basic knowledge of adb commands. If you need further help just let me know. :good:

I was updating my inspire 4g from the HTC's update sense 3.0. I got it directly from their site. My micro-usb cable apparently wiggled loose during the "Installing Bootloader" phase of the installation. Now my phone will turn on after about 20 minutes. It does not respond to me pressing the power button and I can not get it into recovery mode. It hangs at either a Black HTC screen or a White HTC screen. It's different each time it boots. When it boots into the white HTC screen it vibrates for a good 5 minutes then eventually boots up. My phone is not rooted. Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
EDIT: I just booted into recovery after holding the volume down and power button for like 5 minutes. Although, my volume and power buttons do not work in recovery mode :/

I've same problem here
I'm searching for fix about 5-6 hours
If your phone boots up, it's more easy to fix it.
All you need now is to turn you phone fully to android desktop and follow this thread
tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=188
(I'm new here, i can't use "insert link" option, copy and paste link in browser)
or try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875134&page=2
Mine even doesn't boot up after 2 hours
Takes up to 20 minutes to enter in hboot, then up to 40 minutes to enter in fastboot
and then another 40 minute for fastboot usb
But still adb doesn't recognize device :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated

It sucks man! but I have finally booted my phone this morning. In order for my phone to boot it must be plugged into my computer for some reason?
is there a way to fix the bootloader while the phone is on and plugged into the pc? Or is there a way to boot into recovery without turning the phone off? BTW my device is not rooted.
EDIT: I attempted to redo the AT&T update and it failed because it took to long for my device to boot. So now, I'm attempting to root it again threw Ace Advanced Hack Kit. I know that this kit is no longer supported but I did use it in the past and it worked flawlessly. So now, AAHK is waiting for my device to boot. AAHK aparently doesnt care how long it takes so I guess thats a plus. My phone will eventually turn on. I'll post the results when/if it finishes
EDIT 2: AAHK aparently did not work. AAHK still says waiting for device after the device booted normally.

If you try to run a RUU your device will probably end up bricked. You need to fix that using this:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=188
Any other method might leave you with a dead $200 device.
AAHK is not only not supported. The server hosting the files it needs has been taken down.
In any case, you both sound like you have messed bootloaders. In the link in my signature, post #7 has a PDF guide that has, among other things, instructions on how to fix that. Make sure you read carefully.

I've fixed my bootloader with RUU
It was S-ON, so i went to RUU and it worked flawlessly.
AAHK wasn't recognized phone, even when it was connected with Fastboot USB.
I corrupted bootloader when i was trying to manually downgrade from 2.3.5 (Because AAHK don't worked, file server was down)
Phone was unable to boot up (I've waited about 2 hours and it was still stuck on htc logo)
so was adb, when in Device Manager "my htc" was shown, command "adb devices" had no result
I'll tell my way (Full process takes about 3-4 hours, cross your fingers and drink some coffee, let's go..) :
I'm not developer. I tried and fixed my device with this, because other known methods don't worked for me. So read carefully every step and use it at own risk!
First, you need to remove sd card to skip PD98IMG check and make entire process faster
1) remove sd card
2) remove battery (make sure it's charged at least 50-60%)
3) insert battery and go to hboot screen (Press volume down and Power button same time, be patient and keep holding buttons, it will take about 5-10 minutes to show up hboot)
4) Wait until hboot loads fully (takes about 10-20 minute) and when you can go down or up with volume buttons, go to Fastboot
5) Wait there to load fastboot (10-20 minutes or little more) and then connect USB cable
6) Wait there for 15-30 minutes, untill PC recognizes device (Go to Device Manager and check it out if there's "Android USB devices" and "my htc" are shown) for me, it was connected and disconnected 2-3 times, Windows said to check the device and etc, but at least it was shown correctly
7) Make sure that hboot says "Fastboot USB" and run the RUU (I'm new here and can't use "insert link" function, so paste this link in browser and download, --> 4shared.com/file/XORxHMZx/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular.html )
8) RUU would detect device this time and ask to update system image or radio or hboot (I don't remember what it was exactly) to 2.x.x..,
accept and click next, It would say that device will be rebooted into recovery (black screen with HTC logo)
9) Wait till the device is fully loaded in recovery mode (about 20-30 minutes, check if it's available in Device Manager again)
in 10 minutes RUU would say device isn't recongized or something like that and exit. Don't worry about it
10) When device is recongized in device manager, run the RUU again. It will ask to update to 2.x.x.., like it asked in step 8, click next. This time it wouldn't reboot, because you're already in recovery mode. It will start the update process. Be patient, it would take about 2-3 hours to fully restore. Don't think that it's stuck and don't cancel process, just wait..
Yeaaah, take deep breathe, you have done it
When it finishes, phone would restart and boot up normally with new hboot, it would be android 2.3.3, so you can run AAHK and root&unlock your device without problems
( Sorry for my English )

Well, thank you guys. I'm in the process of reading everything. I messed my bootloader up by updating my phone btw not trying to root it. BUT thank you guys for the links. I'll post back with my results after I finish doing everything that the articles insist that I try.

I don't know, when i researched i didn't find bootloader fix with RUU, everyone warned about brick, so i was little confused when tried that.
It was my last hope to fix, because PD98IMG.zip way doesn't worked for me, neither "boot up and ADB" method. Some thread was about making goldcard and then flashing hboot like pd98img, but i hadn't goldcard. Also, i had S-ON and i think there was no way for S-Off
Anyway, thanks to xda and google :good:
Hope this would help you too ))

flashed a froyo hboot on your HTC Inspire/DHD shipped with gingerbread. Phone takes forever to turn on, then it buzzes like cheap vibrator got hit by lightning for two or three minutes – then it finally begins to boot.
