Your adb setup isn't working. Have you booted your phone holding VOL+ and power? Are your ADB drivers installed?
It's either the first or the last one, check your stuff. I doubt it's bricked.

look thats what the phone do exactly when i restart it normal it keeps on the boot screen it just keep going on but when i boot with vol + i get into that menu not sure what its called where it say
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
RECOVERY
POWER OFF
not sure which driver i had but can u give me one to install just in case? thanks
PS. i just reinstalled the drivers from Android SDK still having the same problem

I've never had good luck with the Android SDK driver, I use the PDANet driver instead.

That always got my phone to be detected after.
Edit: That's the fastboot screen. You should have used this when you rooted your phone, if you did it "manually".
You will use fastboot flash recovery recoveryimage.img
to flash a recovery. Recoveryimage.img will be the name of the recovery you're trying to flash.

i did and thats what i get when im trying flash the recovery

wow i restarted the phone and tried and it worked

Get this http://db.tt/VTKmP0lQ and extract the recovery.img put it in your adb folder and flash it via fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then after you got the recovery back. Do format of all partitions except sd card in 4ext and then restore from backup

I will leave the thread here for other people to reference. Thanks though.

i am still unable to get the AOKP rom running correctly. I can install it and it boots fine but as soon as i try to press start on the setup it freezes and reboots. Any ideas?

Are you S-off or just HTC Dev unlocked? This makes a difference.

Have you checked the md5 to make sure you have a good download?

Download the correct RUU file for your device. Boot your device into Hboot/boatloader, connect your device to your computer via USB cable. Find the RUU, right click the .exe and select run as administrator. Follow the on screen instructions. Wait until your device reboots to the lock screen and then unplug your device.
This will put you back to complete stock, but you will have a usable device. You can always start over and try again. You should remain HTC Dev unlocked though.

*** Urgent Help Please ***

Was running Clean Rom 4.1 & decided to try a new rom. Flashed Xi40, after install & upon reboot, phone got stuck in boot screen (was black). Went into recovery & tried to restore from a nanadroid back up & now im getting a MD5 Mismatch. Tried several times & the same thing.
When I try to just reboot the phone normally it gets stuck on the white htc splash screen & thats as far as it goes. Then tried to just RUU & am getting a USB connection error. Checked my pc for connnected devices & my phone isnt showing up. Yes I have all the drivers, never had an issue connecting my phone to pc before now. I can get into recovery but thats about it. Cant nandroid or ruu. Im running out of ideas & phone is usless right now, this sucks any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Boot into the bootloader, enter fastboot mode, and then run the RUU.

can you still access recovery? I wouldnt think there's a need to ruu if you still can get into it. wipe cache, dalvik, and do factory reset and try flashing a different rom perhaps. If you want to ruu then you'll need the drivers installed and be in fastboot on the bootloader. You may need to relock the bootloader as well in fastboot, but by doing that then your only option will be to ruu.

Hi,
Download a working boot.img of a kernel/sense ROM
Then put it in main folder of adb stuffs, then open command prompt and navigate there, while your phone is connected via usb in bootloader, then type this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Here is a guide on flashing boot.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Read the flashing boot.img section in this thread
Also since you are flashing with S-On, I would suggest you follow the other stuff in this thread too...specially the part about using 4EXT recovery
I too had this problem when I flashed my first rom.....it is because our phone is S-On and cannot update the boot partition on its own...it has to be done manually....the best solution to this problem is using 4EXT recovery

I could only think of charging the battery by some means before i could try what you said.
Is there anything else i can do apart from finding a charged battery ?

If you have cwm recovery when you are in recovery the phone stop with charging when you get out from recovery it will charge , for now turn of your phone and charge it well and that try to reflash the rom you want or restore the backup if you have or like @rzr86 said try with changing your recovery to 4ext if now have cwm

enable usb debugging mode from settings
boot to the bootloader and connect the device to pc(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
if it doesn't say that select fastboot
extract the boot.img from your current rom you have installed and place it in your adb and fastboot folder(in your pc)
open in that folder a cmd window and type the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Hi ,
i tried to reflash my phone with Venom S3.1.2 , the one which i had earlier installed . The installation completes without any error but the device reboots over and over and comes to the recovery screen itself.
I tried to restore a backed up file .It says MD5 checksum error.. Does it makes sense?
Shouold i root my device once again or something like that?
Could you please explain how i can change my recovery from cwm to 4ext or probably direct me there ?

nexus 5 stuck in fast boot

So yesteday i decided to instal cyanogenmod in my nexus 5. I downloaded the latest nighly version in my phone (unlocked bootloader and rooted).I open twrp, i made factory reset and wiped cache partition and then went ahead to install cyanogen but unfortunatly i had an error:no md5 file found. I google it and i found that this may work with cwm. So i tried to install it with this one this time but again an error saying that i need a bootloader hhz12d but had hhz12f. So i flash the needed bootloader but my phone then couldnt open recovery mode (it reacted like i hadnt intall a custom recovery at all) so i wasnt able to intall the cyanogenmod. At last i flashed again my previous bootloader hoping that its gonna fix the prob but now i have stuck in fastboot unable to neither to boot or go in recovery mod.
Any ideas guys? Please help me Im disappointed i dont know what to do.

Have you tried flashing twrp or cwm again?

That means you dont have the drivers installed or the windows have some driver issues or the usb port on the pc is broken or the usb port on the phone is broken or the usb cable is broken or the bootloader fails to change to usb port settings to bootloader mode.
Do you see any new device in device manager when you connect the phone in bootloader mode to your PC?
What is the new device's name? Is it unknown device? Is there an exclamation mark before the new device's name?
