Do you have S-On or S-Off listed in your HBoot?
S-on

Then you will need to read this thread. At least the first 2 or 3 pages. And if you're like me....maybe a couple of times! LMAO (you need to flash your kernel seperately)

Power it down.....press volume down & power at the same time.......welcome to HBoot. You can do everything the info in the link I left you explains right from there and/or from Recovery or with ADB in the SDK.
A battery pull will shut it down.....volume down, power & pressing the trackpad for 5 seconds will give you a reboot from a hangup.
(I hope you're doing the req'd reading or phone modding isn't going to go well for you) .....just an FYI
thanks for the help, im not new to modding just new to htc, always had samsung.
I see. OK then, just keep at it and if you need any more help we'll do our best. :good:

Do you have adb set up?
Did you open the zip and find the boot.IMG? Find the IMG and flag it through fastboot?

Battery pull.
Hold Volume down, press power to get into recovery.
This happened to me two days ago... And I probably know less than you about how to fix it.
I ended up using Hasoon's unlocker tool to flash the boot image from the rom I had flashed after mounting the phone via Recovery.
As someone said, with S-ON you have to flash the boot/kernel or whatever separately...

Hi, noob question I guess...
I have looked everywhere for this answer throughout these forums and google and I'm really sorry if the answer is lurking somewhere here already.
I am in the middle of installing a custom ROM on my 2nd sensation 4g (w/ tmobile) and I'm stuck. There was a firmware issue and the phone was stuck in a boot loop after clearing caches and all that jazz so I had to superwipe and try a different firmware file. I've booted the phone into hboot about a bajillion times tonight but now it won't boot into hboot in order for me to install the new firmware. Hitting vol down+power. Just boots into regular HTC white screen, then continues bootloop again. Tried taking out the SD card, tried just letting it sit a while, I can't think of what else.
Nearly every other issue I've found about this has people suggesting to use a rom manager or quickboot to just start over at ruu files but I'm at the stage in the rom process where I can't boot normally or get into recovery to install zip files. And maybe I can use a rom manager at this point but I just don't know how?
Please help? :\

Double check if you unticked fastboot mode.
I have no way of checking that. I cannot boot past the white HTC logo on startup, so I can't get into the power settings.
I know for sure that it's not in fastboot because I've booted into hboot about 50 times previous to this tonight.
Pulling out and reinserting battery? then power on whill pushing volume down?
Yep, that's what I'm doing. Instead of flashing to the hboot screen like it normally does when I'm holding both buttons, the screen stays black until I release the buttons, then it starts loading up the HTC screen like it's trying to boot normally. Doesn't matter how long I hold the buttons for.
weird! sorry no other ideas

Guys - I need help. I think i just blew my phone.
I flashed THE Sense-O-Maniac ICE ROM after a clean wife and my phone wouldn't boot. It kept getting stock on the Beats Logo. So I rewiped everything and reflashed this ROM. - Same result.
I then thought, maybe I should also update the firmware, though I am pretty sure, that my firmware was up to date.
So i reflashed the firmware on phone but it still wouldnt boot.
I took the memory card out and deleted the the firmware file so that I could not flash another rom. But when I tried to boot in Recovery my screen just went blank.
JUST BLANK
When I switch my phone on, I get a blank screen. The screen does light up though, but nothing shows.
If i connect the phone to USB, then the screen again lights up, even without the batter.
Has my phone gone poof??? Please help.
clean wife.
and why do u keep reflashing sense o maniac? why not try other rom?
Did you update your kernel or tried to use backup or install just old ROM, so far it doesn't sound bricked but just something missing, what was your previous ROM?

try "adb reboot recovery" continuously when booting the phone, ignoring all of the "error: device not found"
Boot while holding the volume down key (meaning power btn+ vol-). that should take you to the boot loader. once you're there, go to fastboot and flash a recovery image. you seem to have corrupted yours.
I had the same troubles with that rom.

You should boot into bootloader (vol- & power) then flash a stock gb ruu. After this you can proceed to s-off, root, firmware ... Etc

I can get to the recovery menu but am having no luck from there. I have the usual from this menu and have tried all I know of. Tried to go through rooting again and when I press 1 on the hack ace menu it says device offline. Any ideas. I have been googling and checking forums all day and have not found anything much about it. I need help bad.

Hey guys, im a noob and i recently flashed ViperXL on my att HOX. everything was going fine except after i restored data from Titanium backup that i had backed up from previous ROM (AOKP build 4). Titanium said i had to reboot so i did. And now i am stuck on "htc ONE" screen. Is my phone done? please help!
Plug your phone in, use ADB to reboot into recovery, wipe everything and reinstall ViperXL.
Don't restore apps from another ROM like AOKP

Also reminds us all the importance of backing up our data via a Custom Recovery before flashing ROMs
ive stumpled on upon a quite annoying problem..i have an HTC ONE X+ which i unlocked my bootloader on and everything went smooth until i wanted to start recovery via hboot.
it did not start and i tried several times and restarted etcetc, i then tried to flash in another recovery and then tried more and more but nothing..
then i cant remember now exaclty how i did it, but i have several RUU, kernel, recovery, boot and roms n such items downloaded
so i tried to feed in another flash or rom or whatever its called to get the recovery funtion to work (i am not very pro at this) and then when i wanted to start my phone normally it all of a sudden wont boot properly.
it freezes on the bootscreen.. i can turn off and go in to bootloader but i cant do ANYTHING from there, i cant do a factory reset (wich i also tried when the recovery did not want to work) i cant do **** there. tried to lock and unlock bootloader.. feels like im out of options..
the only thing i can do now is command the phone via cmd and the toolkit i use from here "Hasoon2000s htc one x AIO kit"
using this guide on this thread mostly..
ive tried so many things now, searched this and other forums since friday and i still can not get anywhere... starting to think this is what the definition of a bricked unit is??
if you need any more info please just ask.. i bought the phone a week ago so kinda sucks if it would be useless for me right away haha..
i would appreciate som help and tips... please

The people who actually have that phone can help you out, I don't know how to solve it as well as they do. Good luck!
So I just got my phone today, rooted and installed the Viper rom. Then I installed the blackout kernel. It installed fine but it wont start up anymore. The phone won't go to bootloader or anything. I tried the 10 second power +volume down, ill get the screen that says htc one s this is a development phone and thats it. it turns off after that. When i plug the phone into a charger the light doesnt come up, i tried to use fastboot from my computer but it can't find the device since its not in fastboot. what should i do?!
This is odd. Even when you try turning the phone on with the volume down button depressed you can't get into bootloader? I've always been able to get to bootloader so this one is a challenge. I would make sure you have enough battery life in your phone too. Even if you have kernel issues you should still be able to make it back to bootloader. It should pop up instantly without any other boot screens. I imagine you can't see your phone from your computer with either adb devices or fast boot devices?

Are you sure you flashed the right kernel? I know quite a few Blackout kernels.
You did flash the boot.img, right? You can try flashing it again. If nothing works, try an RUU, or let the battery drain.
Are you sure you're trying to go into the bootloader the right way? The trick for me was to hold down only the power button, then once it goes off, hold down the volume down and the power button.
I remember the time another person had a similar issue, and managed to get in after about 30 tries.

Go into fastboot in the bootloader. Then type fastboot flash boot boot.img in your Windows command prompt.
You should be able to extract the boot.img from the relevant zip file of your custom kernel. Then put that file (assuming its named boot.img) in the same folder as fastboot.exe
