Hi all,
yesterday I came across the question how to update radio without a card reader.
My problem: I put PG88IMG.zip into the root folder of my SD card and reboot into boot loader. PG88IMG is detected and my radio is updated. Now the only option I get is to reboot the phone. But the phone gets stuck in a boot loop, since I have to clean cache&dalvik.
But how to do that now, since I cannot enter recovery (bootloader wants to flash PG88IMG again). What I do in this case: Pull battery, remove SD card, deleted PG88IMG in a card reader, put the SD card back and enter recovery to wipe cache&dalvik.
Is there a better way to do this without pulling the battery and removing SD card?
Thanks for any tipps

Try running "adb reboot recovery", assuming you can get an adb connection during the boot loop.

Hi guys, some minutes ago i flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 into my htc sensation and I restart it and now it does infinity loop. I've Revolution HD 3.6.9 and I wanted flash the newest R HD with ICS. Please, help me. I can't use my Sensation
remove the sd card, boot into recovery, insert sd card, mount usb storage to your pc then delete the firmware file.
Your phone won't boot again until you have installed the right rom for the firmware, so load the new rom onto the sd card at the same time and flash it.
1) Remove SD
2) Boot recovery, insert SD, mount USB, delete firmware, unmount USB, clear cache
3) Reboot
I'm on 3.12 running CM7. It will work.
Hello I've just s-off'd, installed clockwork recovery and rooted my phone, set the supercid.
I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471941
I have put the PG58IMG.zip, radio file, super wipe and Android revolution ROM files all onto the root of my SD card. I rebooted into Hboot mode and it asked if I wanted to install the update which I said yes to.
Now every time I try to boot the phone it gets to the HTC quietly brilliant logo and then just restarts itself. I can get into HBOOT mode where it just asks me to install the update again.
Can anyone help please?
You have to remove the firmware PG58IMG.zip file from your SD or it will attempt to update everytime you launch the bootloader
just remove your sd card when you boot then after it boots you in hboot put your sd card back in and go to recovery and remove the file
I tried to install drumlock app and my phone restarted and went into the recovery. I can't mount the sd card either to flash the rom again. I dont have anything backed up. I am really lost and need someone's guidance.
I had the same issue one time what I did is I mounted the phone as a USB drive (don't know if it works with CWM, if not just flash TWRP recovery) and formated the SD card (when I mounted it Windows asked to format the SD card; Format in FAT32!). As you can imagine all data from the SD will be lost but your SD card is mounted again and you should be able to boot again. If booting still doesn't work try putting a ROM on the SD via mount as USB drive function and try to flash it. It should work.
worked but another problem happened :[

Thanks for that advice. Everything worked. I formatted the cd card and it is now seen in TWRP where I installed the viper one s rom. BUT! Now my phone just keeps on restarting - it shows the htc logo with a red banner under it and just restarts and does it all over again. I can get into boorloader mode If i get lucky pressing it before it restarts, yet the bootloader wont let me get into recovery. I am going to try other methods I guess but I am wondering if there is a way just to use RUU and restore it to stock?

You must've done something to your recovery when you formatted your sdcard. Try flashing TWRP again. You can easily bring your device back to stock by running the RUU. Info can be found around the forum.
Relock bootloader and run a official HTC RUU (warning: itll update hboot).
what worked but now its stuck

I tried that method and flashed utb rom and when i restarted it its stuck on the loading screen...so i tried the different viper one s rom and nothing either. After i locked it i tried the RUU but it gives me the error 150 ...Im on the right track I know...its probably something minor that I keep on overlooking.
gives me error 150

I also tried this method but it brings up the error 150. Could this be the recovery that is causing it ?
So you can't even get into recovery even if you flash it over fastboot?

Hello ,
I have installed CW recovery and CM 11 on my rooted nexus 5.
then wanted to format my sd card ,so for that i went to CW recovery from boot and did all formats mentioned in it.
And came back to the sd card to install CM 11 again from sd, but sd card was wiped off.
now i am not able to switch on my phone.
It just stays in the "google" screen itself.
Please help me how to put back it to any working state.
PS:I have not backed up phone..

Can you still get into recovery? If so use adb to push the ROM to the phone.
Why did you format everything and the SD card... That as you found out wipes everything out. Even if you had a backup on the device it would of wiped it. You should always keep a backup of the device and efs saved off the device to a PC.
Hold the power button for 20 seconds, that'll turn off the phone. Then boot into recovery and adb push a Rom to it. If you can't do that then fastboot flash the factory image

Thankyou guys for your comments~!
I finally figured out.
To fix this what i did was
1.to boot the phone , pressed volume volume down+power.
2.installed the CW recovery using adb.
3.went in to the CW recovery and selected "install zip from sideload".
4.installed CM 11 succesfully using adb.
5.done!!
Now everything looks good but
my sim card is not getting detected.
I doubt the radio software didnt install at all.
Please let me know if i need to install any other software or i am missing something here!!
I tried installing Viper ROM tonight and something went wrong and now each time I restart I get a system UI error. I can boot the phone into recovery but TWRP now won't recognize my SD card so I can't flash a new ROM on my SD card. I can get into the bootloader but I can't ADP so I don't know how to push a file to the main memory. Can anyone help? I am kind of freaking out.
Thanks.
Edit: I think I may have fixed it. Seems my SD card got corrupted and I had to reformat it and I was able to copy a ROM to it. Flashing it again now. I hope it works.
