[Q] Won't go into recovery =[

hello this is my first post so bare with me please, i have looked through many websites i tried a lot of things, im supprised i havent bricked my phone yet.
I have an HTC Evo 3D rooted with Hboot 1.5 today i wanted to change to a different ROM so i downloaded everything, when i was ready to flash it i went to recovery and instead the phone rebooted, it use to reboot everytime i tryied to go to recovery or factory reset, i messed with it so much that whenever i hit recovery it opens bootloader or something, im not very familiar with this since im just starting =[ also when the phone is off i hold the volume down and power untill hboot apears it tells me for a brief moment that it couldnt find PG86IMA. I have downloaded it but i dont know how to mount it or get it in there, pleasee any help at all i would really appreciate it! ive tryed ROM manager, flashimage ui, recovery manager. thanks in advance!

What do you have installed clockwork mod or amonra?

im not sure.. the only time i remember seeing that word is when i was using Rom Manager

Is fastboot checked?

Hi,
Are you s-off?
What ROM?
What radio?
Etc. etc,
MOAR information,please

I used Android Revolution HD I fixed that thanks god!!! But now another problem starts.. i turn on the phone and restarts over and over after the green sign. I can't access recovery also. I tried to install a recovery putting this file: PG58IMG in to Memory card and then install but no success it does the same I can't access recovery at all. When i try to access it my phone restarts the same when i try to turn it on. If someone one know what to do please tell me...thank you i would be grateful if you can help me! I am S-Off yes

For Revolution HD there are very critical pre-requisites before flashing ROM:
-Latest and recommended firmware package (Differs for each version pls check)
-Super wipe script
-4ext
Did you do all before flashing ROM?

I think i did not. I've just rooted and after installed this custom ROM and it worked for 3 days until today. What i want to do is to access Recovery so i can swipe everything and Install a new ROM. but every time i try to access my phone restarts

I had a problem similar not long ago. My phone would do constant restart when trying to boot up and I had a firmware file on my sd card so it wouldn't go into recovery (4ext touch). So I removed the sd card and was able to go into recovery, tho nothing showed up, I inserted my sim card back in and THANKFULLY it recognized it and I could fix my problem. Not sure if doing this will help with your problem but give it a shot.

Try to flash 4ext:

trying right now mates... let's see !!!

If not works, then try to install original RUU and startover.
To install original RUU:
- Just connect your phone to Windows (Drivers must be installed before, to do that just install HTC sync, it will also install some other stuff (drivers), uninstall JUST HTC Sync not the other stuff)
- Run RUU.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

I am telling you that my phone doesn't turn on at all... i mean i can't go to menu etc..

I am downloading this : RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190934_signed.exe at the moment ! is this good?!

You may guess best one to choose by your operator and country.
I have tried several ones till get the correct one since i do not remember the original one

I've just installed that my friend but same problem

Did you installed HTC Sync?
Does Windows recognized your phone succesfully before install?
Does RUU installed properly? It should reboot several times while installing.
Would you please describe problem in some more detail? When you push power button what happens? Did you see anything on screen? When you push volumedown and power together, what happens? What is on the screen?

Did you manage to fix ur problem mate.

If you flashed the radio file, you need to take that off your sd card otherwise it will just keep updating the radio or trying to and you can't get into recovery. Pull card and delete that file you placed there. Then you can boot into bootloader and get to recovery. if you have arhd rom, once you boot into the rom, go to settings., power and uncheck fastboot.

If you are trying to get an arhd rom loaded I suggest you come over to the arhd dev thread and ask. You will get a solution. Kernels are in the rom so I'm not sure what you are seeing. Start with what shows at the top of your bootloader screen. Locked unlock, radio, hboot etc. that will help.

[Q] Sensation won't boot into HBOOT

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

1. adb reboot bootloader
THATS IT!!!

I also have bricked my M8

So I was playing around trying to get Sound MOD to work(dont ask me y..I was bored) And I have bricked my phone. I am stuck on the white HTC screen the one at the begining of the boot..the one that says this build is for development purposes..blah blah. and it is just stuck there. Adb wont find device or nothing..I am truly screwed..yes?

Well, ADB wouldn't be able to do anything at that point anyway. It's not fully booted, or in the bootloader.
Have you tried powering it off, and booting to the bootloader? From there recovery, do a factory reset, and see if it boots then?

They is no way of powering it off..its just stuck on that screen. No buttons do anything. Guess ill just have to let the FULLY CHARGED..lol..battery run out then try to get into bootloader.

Have you tried holding down the power button for around 10s? That usually does it.

Which menu options are you selecting in TWRP? And to factory reset, you would WANT to be in TWRP, so I don't know why you're making it sound like that's a bad thing...

So you've tried doing a factory reset, and afterwards it still just gets stuck during boot? And do you mean it boots back to the HTC boot screen after restoring an image and rebooting, or you select "Restore image" (or whatever) and it instantly reboots and gets stuck?

I just had to order new one. I hate mistakes that cost $..lol
Its my own dumbass fault. I shouldve just let it alone. Was running great on viper 1.6

Have you tried flashing any Rom? You can't boot into the OS following a factory reset in TWRP, you will always end up with what you're getting

It is impossible for me to flash a rom. Cant get into a recovery to do it.
Ok so update: I was SOMEHOW able to get into recovery(TWRP) but no matter what i try to do it just reboots back into recovery..any ideas?
EDIT: gonna try verizon RUU. Fingers crossed

Just a thought here. TWRP can install from USB. I have flashed from a thumbdrive in the past on an S3. You may be able to do same. I know this is a shot in the dark but may help.

Will it just sit at the recovery screen or does it boot before you touch anything? If it will sit at the TWRP main screen you should be able to boot into hboot via adb and try a reflash of twrp or CWM. Your recovery may be corrupt.

You're definitely not bricked. You're catching breaks left and right.

Would a moderator kindly close this thread as I have fixed my problem. Thank you!
After toying around with it for HOURS! Somehow I was able to get it to boot into hboot. Which from there was ablt to fastboot an RUU and profit! Funny thing is I had already made a claim with the Big Red V. Called them back to say that I had found my phone...too late claim already in..lol. Now I have a brand new phone on its way and a mini-tab and dev device I guess..lol
