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.

I can get into the the recovery mode after i select "recovery" it goes to a screen with a red triangle and an exclamation mark.
I the volume up and power and the try to install a update...but non has worked
can get one help??
download this file http://www.filefactory.com/file/c19...00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed.exe
and run it with your phone plugged in your pc, it should do a stock recovery on your phone.
I faced the same issue with another ROM.
The only way I found to reboot was to reinstall the firmware while connected via USB with the PC.
And after that, I reinstalled the ROM.
I couldnt even boot.

Okay, first off stop digging up multiple 1 and 2 year old threads to post about your problem.
Second, be MUCH more specific about what the issue is. What happened before it stopped booting? Was it dropped or something or was it working fine?
Is it rooted?
Is it S-Off?

Sorry about that.
Here are the full details:
I have a Sensation XE, it was running ARHD 7.2, rooted, Bootloader Unlocked, S-OFF
I was playing subway surfers when all of a sudden the phone froze, no buttons nothing worked. After a while it itself restarted and got stuck on the white HTC boot screen. When it didnt progress for some minutes, I removed the battery, reinserted it and tried turning it on. But nothing, no signs of life were shown. Even on connecting the wall charger there was no charging LED.
Only thing is that windows can detect it as QHSUSB_DLOAD or something.
I checked out the Unbricking Sensation forum at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1522351
but they say it works only for devices bricked while turning to S-ON, but as I mentioned mine is S-OFF. So, can I still use their method or is there some alternative?
Thanks

No, I can't get to recovery. The phone doesn't start up at all. But windows detects something like QHSUSB_DLOAD when connecting through usb.

Is the battery charging when you connect it to USB like that? If so I'd say to try an ruu to return it to completely stock. You will lose all user data on the internal memory when doing this. And it will return the phone to s-on and stock ROM. You will have to start over.
Do a search for ruu and you should find the thread that walks you through the process. Its really easy. You basically just run an .exe file from windows and it does everything else.

No, the charging LED doesnt glow.
Phone is detected on USB connection after i remove the battery. And moreover windows doesnt detect it as a phone i think.
PS: Losing data, S-OFF, ROM is not a concern. I just want it working, bought it just 6 months ago :crying:

Do you have access to another battery just to make sure your battery isn't fried? If there is physical damage to the battery it will neither charge nor will it power on.
Also, try doing the ruu thing anyway. Worst its going to do is not work.

As you said I searched for RUU for my phone, but now the problem is I can't decide what RUU to download since the phone wont start and therefore I can't see software number or CID.

from bootloader connect the device in the pc via usb(it should say fastboot usb)
open a cmd in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files and do these commands
fastboot getvar version-main

Hi there!
Even my device is facing similar sort of problems. Although the situation is not as bad as the op,but still the phone is still just a paperweight.
Now what I did- unlocked bootloader via HTC dev site( HBOOT Ver 1.27)
Decided to S-off by J.Bear method.
Everyhting went fine untill the phone restarted. Controlbear no longer recognised the device. It said check your drivers.
That was the time when everything messed up.
Now the phone would no longer boot ahead of the white HTC bootscreen. And sometimes it even powers on directly to recovery(even when i'm not pressing volume down).
And one more strange thing happening.."adb devices" command doesn't show any devices listed although i can check the firmware and cid version(via fastboot command). And the device is showing up in device manager(my HTC). But adb commands are not working.
Am i missing something?
Any help would be much appreciated.

probably your hboot get locked after S-OFF.that's why adb commands don't work(i think)
check your bootloader details
if now you have S-OFF and locked hboot flash 3.33 universal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
it will give you also patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions to the letter(important)
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)

Hi all.
So I used revolutionary to s-off and root. the installed a ICS ROM to my desire played with it for a bit - didn't like it.
Decided to run an RUU to put my phone back - big mistake..... I didn't realise the revolutionary Hboot wouldn't be overwritten. now my phone just boots to white background with green HTC logo...no further
I cannot run recovery from the revolutionary hboot menu, just does the white background HTC thing....
I can't run adb from command prompt, will not see my device. I'm sure I had usb debugging left on
I'm stuck.... can anyone help at all? I can't boot to anything and hboot doesn't appear to work
I know I shouldn't have run that RUU, it's my own stupid fault
many thanks peeps
Mark.
and I've tried running the'unlock bootloader' from the HTC site, which does see my phone but says it can't update as ROM is out of date
anyone? pretty please
I have followed all of the procedures to reload my phone stuch on the splash screen, but have had no luck. Before I dispose of the phone, as it is in mint condition, I want to be sure there is no other options to update / reformat the bootloader
1. I have loaded the image for 2.2.1 AND 2.3.4 MULTIPLE TIMES
2. I have cleared the Cache's and no change
3. status on bootloader shows

I guess the last hope since th reloading the original images did not work is to reload / format the bootloader using ADB, but I believe that I have the wrong HBoot.
Is the phone eMMC bad and the phone bricked or is there something else to try?

It does not give any errors after flashing to 2.3.4, as it loads, verifies, then asks to load. It then successfully loads all pieces of the image, only to reboot to the same Mytouch logo screen.
When I use recovery, it can't mount anything, and when I wipe the Cache, it give arror that Ext3 is not compatible.
I reboot and factory restore in recovery, and gives the Ext3 compatibility message and can't mount anything.
I never receive any image loading errors, but I cannot load the 2.2.1 image, as it never give me a chance to say 'yes' to loading it.
If it doesn't work, care to sell it? I need a back and home button for mine lol
I also think my volume buttons will be gone soon, their starting to stick

Thats really weird because usually if the emmc is dead, the image doesn't load completely in the bootloader. Have you tried calling tmo and telling them about your predicament? I know you are over warrenty but they might still help.

I am now on Straight Talk, so I no longer have a TMobile account to call about. My PAygo ended on Sunday with them.
Can I load anything from ADB with this version of the HBoot / Bootloader? Does the Ext3 mean it had a newer Rom, so I need to change to a supported type using ADB? IT almost looked like the Ext3 format was causing the problem. This also might be a red flag to support if it was not on a factory format. I inherited the phone, so I do not know the history.
Since it never finished booting, is there any way to use the original HTC.exe programs that install the RUU image?
Why are you s-on? Shouldn't you be s-off if you want to install a rom??

ok let's calm down and not panic, something similar happened to me when i started rooting my first MT4G, did you try to root the phone? if not i will suggest you to do that with the cyanogenmod guide HERE but before you follow the guide try to boot into bootloader by shutting the phone down, leave it off for like 10 seconds then turn it on by pressing the power button+volume down key, you will enter into bootloader usually you will see 3 androis at the bottom of the screen on skateboards if you don't see that but instead the phone keeps booting into splash screen then try again until you enter bootloader, wihle in bootloader you need to tell me what options you get and what options are enabled, since you can't mount the SD card you will have to get an adapter to download all software needed on the SD card(remember you have to remove the sd card from the phone since you can't mount it). Proceed with the guide until you install a custom rom like CyanogenMod 7.
this type of errors can be reproduced easily for example on a rooted phone wipe the phone completely and reboot, the phone will do exactly the same your phone is doing another thing is i don't know what is this HTC.exe program you are talking about everything is done with the android SDK so before doing everything in the guide you need to download and isntall the android SDK.
it seems like the previous person tried to root but instead messed up the phone system, probably corrupted? like i said i have reproduced the same behaviour on my MT4G many times and by now i don't freak out like it was the first time, the thing that have saved me is the rooting guide, i know by experience that you CAN'T install a rom or anything if you are S-ON.

From what screens can you mount the 'drive' to use with ADB? When trying to run the ADB commands, I get the error device not found, so I either am not in the correct mode on the phone or I do not have the correct drivers. When coinnectd at the splash screen, my device manafer shows a Portable Device with Drive f:\ and the details show an Android Phone, but the drive is not visible or accessible by ADB.
When I start bootloader with Hboot at USB PLUG mode, the device manage on my computer changes to Android Bootloader device, but I still get 'Device Not Found' after executing the first ADB command. I then followed the info (I think) at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881324 with no success for ADB to work, so I something must be wrong.
It seems the S-ON option is not letting you go further, if it gave you a ext3 format error most likely is because the phone can't erase or rewrite the partition needed. Now I'm no expert on the hardware part but I put my small knowledge on that it have to do with the S-ON part of the phone.
Was the phone booting up properly before? If the phone can't boot to android then you can't use adb commands(for what I know) also the fact you don't have a custom recovery image will make it hard for you reinstall android.
I can probably make some time to help you but nothing is better than having the phone so I can troubleshoot. If you want we can chat on gmail to set up a remote session? Other than that I don't see how I can help you.

Was the phone booting up properly before? If the phone can't boot to android then you can't use adb commands(for what I know) also the fact you don't have a custom recovery image will make it hard for you reinstall android.
I can probably make some time to help you but nothing is better than having the phone so I can troubleshoot. If you want we can chat on gmail to set up a remote session? Other than that I don't see how I can help you.

Since the phone will not go pase the splash or bootloader / hboot.....
Questions:
1. Can the original manufacturer RUU - Rom Update Utility be downloaded somewhere and if so wouldn't it just need the phone in Bootloader mode?
2. For the ADB method, will it work with thge phone at the Bootloader screen, and if so what drivers arfe needed as the Android Bootloader ones do not work that are showing. Is these another setting beyond just the driver that needs to be set to use ADB?
3. Will a program like Odin that I used to recover my samsung image from bootloader work for these phones?
4. Does anyone have any ideas or should I just part out this Mint phone?
Please refer to previous posts for the details on what has already been tried....and what it is still doing.

I don't know of an external app like odin that works for our phone. Also, there are no RUU's for the Glacier, only PD15IMG.zip files.
Since Mint MyTouch 4g Phone is Bricked, how much will work for Slide Version?
I saw an old post with a broken link for an RUU that was supposed to work on the Glacier called the panache. I finally found a working link and downloaded the RUU for Gingerbread, but when I ran it it gave and error that the battery was below 30%, even though fully charged and verified with my wall charger, and 2 usb chargers and 2 different batteries. I might try a powered USB hub, but this data on battery condition might have been stored on the phone somehow? If it could get the phone to work again, then a I could always reflash with a different ROM later.
If there is no hope of recovering this Mint MyTouch 4g Stuck on the splash screen, so can parts be used on the shift / slide version such as LCD / Digitizer, push buttons, or ????
It makes me sick to tear it apart.....
Any other thoughts?
Ran into similar problem
I ran into a similar problem with a message about the version number of the recovery image being wrong. This was a few weeks ago and I didn't keep a log of exactly how I fixed it but this is what I remember:
It turned out that during an attempt to root before I knew what I was doing I had changed the version number using the guide at the link below.
http://www.androidauthority.com/mytouch-4g-t-mobile-root-custom-recovery-74465/
That error message was misleading and the problem was instead due to the fact the phone was unlocked (although mine did say so on the bootloader screen.) HTC images have apparently been created to require a locked phone to successfully load. I relocked it in Fastboot USB mode with the command "fastboot oem relock" and was able to successfully load any version number after that.
Good luck.
Hello, have you tried using a different SD card?

Hi,
My HTC has been working fine all along and had all the latest updates (stock, not rooted, no custom or anything). A few days ago (dec-23rd I think) I woke up and it wasnt working, froze on me, once I rebooted it started and was showing each app failing with a message "forced to stop after unexpected error". I can get it start that way after a few tries, but most of the time it loops between "htc and at&t logo rethink possible"
I have tried a few things after that..
1. Go to the HBOOT and select "Factory reset", nothing happens goes back to the white htc screen
2. Go to the HBOOT and select "Recovery", was going to the red triangle. After couple of days on the xda-developers website, found out that you got to hit the volume-up and power after the red triangle to get the menu options (thanks for that). I went into that menu and cleared data and cache (all it showed was cant open /data/... and cant open /cache/data/recovery/ .. messages). It still hasnt helped
3. I have downloaded htc sync and the latest RUU from htc. I have installed htc sync. When I connect the phone, windows pc says "USB device not recognized". I tried to run the RUU when I was in the HBOOT and also from the Fastboot screens, havent had any luck. It ends up with Error 170 message USB Connection error .
4. Downloaded the PD98IMG (about 255MB size) to the SD card and tried the HBOOT and it shows message "Main version is older" message
Also went to IRC #htc-ace and no one was responding there, not sure if its the correct irc.
Any help would be great..

You need to re flash the latest att ruu from HTC site. Find your device in support section and download the .exe file. Run it then in fastboot usb. If after that you are still in a bootloop, then your mobo is failing

I tried to run the ruu that I downloaded from HTC site "htc_inspire4g_att_RUU_3.20.502.52_US", but since the computer says "USB device failed to connect" I get the error 170. When i run the RUU it doesnt see it. I have tried to run the RUU when I was on the HBOOT screen and Fastboot screen.

You need to run it from fastboot not hboot. When you plug the phone in hboot you should read fastboot usb in red in the phone, not hboot usb plug. If you see the latter, press power..

When i get to the Hboot (in blue highlited) section, the Fastboot (is highlighted in blue and is the first option), then i hit the power. Now it takes me to the Fastboot (highlighted in red) screen, with options bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. This is when I connect the usb cable to the phone and computer. The computer then dings (USB Device Not Recognised message), I then run the RUU exe file that I downloaded from HTC website and it shows the accept terms screen, then connect the phone screen, it then shows "Verifying information " message and I end up with Error 170: USB Connection Error.

The HTC bootloop can be caused by quite a few factors. What state was your phone in, what did you do, and what state is it in now?

Stuck in the Rethink possible boot animation.
I ran the "htc_inspire4g_att_RUU_3.20.502.52_US" It and did complete it after like 20 tires.
I was getting error 170 before "some type of usb problem"
Now its just boot-looping there.
Thank you for your reply.

More details. Were you S-Off? Bootloader unlocked? Rooted? Custom recovery? Custom ROM? Why did you flash the RUU - was something broken? Did your phone ship with Froyo or GB? How long is hboot taking to start now? Is the phone detected on your computer?

Super stock. I was not S-Off, Not unlocked, Nor rooted. It shipped with GB. Hboot starts up quick. No my Pc does not detect it
I flashed the RUU Because My phone was hanging on when booting. I would have to take the battery out 2-3 time before it would boot. All my apps were crashing. It would not factory reset thru the phone. So that is why I flashed it via RUU.
