So my brother has a HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T and we rooted it with Advance Ace Root Kit, and in the middle of installing root, there was something with a qualcomm cdma driver and it said no drivers found. Then the ace root kit just froze on "waiting for device" and it just stuck there. So I pulled the cord and closed it but now the phone wont restart and it wont go into HBOOT either, when i plug it into the charger or USB, it starts and goes into clock work recovery on it's own, but if i unplug it and boot it by itself, it vibrates exactly 3 times and the led flashes orange. The screen is just black. How do i fix this? HELP!!
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

It seems as though you have an incompatible or corrupt boot image. If you can get a Rom onto your sd card you can try to install it from recovery.
If you need help with the steps, let me know.
Not just a pretty Pickle.

hello.. i have looked for the answer to my question but i cant seem to find it, therefore i created this post.. sorry if i posted in the wrong section or if it is already out there.. i hope mr clown doesnt close my thread.
i rooted my phone doing it with the one click tool, and it worked perfectly fine.. the problem started when i tried to install a custom rom on it.. i installed rom manager and cwm fine.. but the problem is that i was following this instructions..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=11557769
which i read i had to get this rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720
the problem is that i didnt realize that i needed eng s off and i had s off wich therefore i wasnt able to see the cwm screen..
following the steps that told me to wipe the data with the wipedat.zip.. i did it through rom manager.. when the phone rebooted it went to a dark screen slowly so i took the battery out, and now is frozen in the htc logo... i have tried the up/down/power combo but the phone vibrates 3-4 times and then it goes to a black screen with the light on... but i dont get anything else.. so im really stock at either htc screen or black screen... i need help!!! i hope some one nows a good way for me to fix this.
have you tried...
adb restart fastboot
or adb restart recovery or whichever it is
someone more familiur with adb can explain alil more on this
Download the stock ruu exe and run that from your computer.
Sent from me using this thing.
Try running adb reboot bootloader but first off run adb kill-server then adb devices to see if it is picking up your phone. If that doesnt work download the stock ruu and run it, hopefully all goes well with either method.
Just FYI - this was taken care of over in the General Forum.
Haven't heard from him since, but he was able to get into hboot.

Hey man i had a problem like that i used ace hack kit v9...Just do everything over again and it will work..
This is in the wrong section. Questions should be posted in the general section.
Its not volume up/down/power. Its just volume down + power. What is sounds like you did was restart your phone while it was trying to flash the rom. You should be able to get to the hboot menu just by holding power and volume down to power up the phone and wait till hboot shows up.
This will be probably the best answer I got.
1. Turn your phone off
2. Take out the battery and insert it back it
3. Don't turn your phone on
4. Plug in your USB cord,connected to your computer
5. Your phone will Automatically Boot up
6. You will be in the ClockWork Recovery
7. There will be many options
8. Select "BACK UP AND RESTORE"
9. Restore EVERYTHING.
10. youre phone will start normally, but it will be really LAGGY
11. Then ROOT your phone again to make it normal.
What has happened to yours has happened to mine. This is the way I fixed mine.

I tried to install an update on my Galaxy S 4G to my Gingerbread theme on KD1 and I can't get past the original boot screen.....is there any way to boot into CWM? I installed it, except i can't seem to boot into recovery.
Any ideas?
I'd like to use ODIN as a last resort (and yes, download mode does work.)
If it doesn't boot pass the Samsung screen then you'll have to use Odin to fix. I had a similar issue this week with thay

I have the same issue but mine is a little more severe. I don't even get a boot screen. Nothing displays. I tried doing many variations to get into download mode but I cannot. So I'm stuck with a blank screen Odin doesn't recognize it my computer doesn't even recognize it. Please Help!!!

Pull out your battery. With your phone unplugged put your battery in but leave it powered off.
Plug your phones cord in your PC. Just the cord not the phone.
Now hold just the volume up and down buttons. While holding the buttons in plug that cord from your PC into your phone. You will see a yellow triangle or if your firmware is messed a symbol with a small phone and a computer. You can use Odin either way. You will see Odin recognize the phone if its done correct and you have the Samsung usb drivers installed.

I know I have to be doing something wrong. I have read everything everywhere and have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G & Vibrant 3G T959 BOTH stuck in recovery. Haven't touched them in about a week buttons just checked & still they go through the load to the TMO chime then black or I can get to download & recovery but have mounting issues. The Vibrant was rooted & SGS lost root when flashing joedevelopers rom (placing no blame on thread just providing information for possible help).
I read somewhere yesterday about using NVFash or SuperOneClick to get it going but each search leads me to instructions for other devices. I don't want brick either phone using the wrong files so I'm pretty much stuck.
Would appreciate instructions if anyone has the answer. I really have tried everything. The SGS was stuck at the phone ! computer screen shot first but the reloading the drivers and piecing together some code brought it back & now the SD card is not ready.

I tried following cyanogen wiki on an Inspire 4G. It didn't work and gave "Incorrect Model ID" error.
So I switched to use Hack-Ace tool. Everything worked as expected and I guess I was going good. When Hack-Ace completed, the phone went into an infinite look showing HTC logo then blind to a black screen with background light ON.
I could ADB and reboot in bootloader where I clashed the CM7 ROM. Every step went through fine and it restarted. Now all I get is nothing.
The device shows the HTC Logo on white screen after leaving a while and the vibrator is ON constantly. It doesn't help really but keeps doing that. It will only stop if I remove battery.
Plugging the device into USB doesn't detect on PC.
When tried charging, it shows the error messages and nothing happens, no buttons interact.
I guess I have a full brickd phone now

Yah, try the ruu. Seeing how it at least turns on means it might be fixable. Can you get into recovery?

You font nerd recovery with that file. Just out it on the root if your sdcard. Meaning not in any folder and boot into bootloader...not recovery then it will recognize the file then just follow onscreen instructions

Dude download the PD98 file above it is the rooted updated gingerbread ROM. Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)

You should have 4ext recovery on your phone boot up into hboot by powering up with power button and volume down at same time also see if you are s-off if so Ace Hack Kit worked so issue was not with it. should be able to enter recovery that way. If so follow these instruction
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515387
(All steps done within 4ext recovery so dont leave there till all steps complete)
Just start from step 7 cause you should have 4ext already if you already flashed a custom ICS rom. When you get to point of placing rom on sd you can use any rom you want to flash. This is a Full wipe of phone and sd card. If problem persist then issue is hardware not software.
Please please please help me out. I recently unlocked the bootloader for this phone and rooted after that. It was all good and i was using it as my phone. I had it up for sale on amazon and then somebody bought it. I formatted EVERYTHING through CWM. I mean everything and i know now that that was a big mistake. Now every time i try turning on the phone it sends me to the google logo with the lock on it and after a second it goes straight to fastboot mode. In fastboot mode it says in red -NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG. I have tried flashing it but i cant get the software to recognize it. I do hear the beeping sound when i connect and disconnect the phone. What can i do. Please i must ship the phone out.
