phone just sits at HBOOT menu...

Im trying to install the OTA update located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Every time I try to boot into HBOOT my phone just sits at the HBOOT menu and does nothing...phone is rooted, s-off, and fasboot is disabled yet no matter how many times i have tried my phone doesn't search for PD98IMG.zip (which i renamed the file to, and put on the root of my SD card)
Any ideas?

Make sure its not in a folder and that theres no other zip file on the external SD card.

Try removing the pd98img zip from ur SD card then boot into hboot & see if it even goes through the process of looking for the file. If it does u might want to try & redownload the file, maybe it became corrupted the first time.

No other zip files on the card... tried booting into hboot without the zip on there but still just sits there.

no offense taken at all. yep, tried turning it off using the power button and choosing "turn off" then volume down & power to turn it on...stuck at hboot menu.
also tried pulling the battery for 5 minutes and using volume down & power, same result; stuck at hboot menu

I tried booting the phone without the SD card in there (it's the SD card from the box) and I was able to scroll through the options at least but when I hit the power button when HBOOT is selected; still nothing happens.

Try using a different SD card

Did you try to download that file again? Maybe it got corrupted? Do you have s-off?

Hey at least you got it working.
Maybe something happened to your SD during the root process. Could always try formatting the old card and see if that fixes it...at least you would have a back up.

I've read somewhere that mounting and dismounting your sdcard improperly slowly damages it and can cause your bootloader not to read it..

[Q] Device completely unusable :( PLZ HELP

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

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)

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759

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.

My sensation crashes

Hi guys,
Okay I'm not an expert on these things but I really wanted another view, so i tried a custom ROM. I followed all advices.
First of all i got Revolution and got s-off on my device. Then i put the 3.24 version and put it in the root folder of my sensation. I also got the su-bin and the rom i wanted (Elegancia). I started my phone with volume down and power. And got in the fastboot menu. It asked me if I wanted to update, so I said yes (obviously). But somewhere it went wrong, it said: "CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <power> to reboot. That was crappy, but not near as crappy as figuring out that my phone won't start either. Well it gives me the HTC logo, and then the logo with the slogan, but quickly after it dies, and reboots. This goes on and on, until i pull out the battery. If I start it again in volume down and power. It will go to that boot menu but it will also come with the CID error again...
Anyone advice?????

Hi,
As you say...CID incorrect.
The reason you are bootlooping is because you still have the PG58IMG.zip on your sd card.Delete it.
You either need super cid HERE (step # 4 )
Or you can go HERE and go the non-super cid method.
Once you have done either of these steps,you can then flash the ROM...

Hi,
Did you flash the 3.24 firmware(PG58IMG.zip ) first?
If so,you have to delete the PG58IMG.zip from your sd card after it has fully flashed...

Yep I did that, but apperantly the first time takes a long time, after around 10 minutes staying in the loader it got in. Now it works just fine. And rebooting takes under a minute now. Really glad it works! Thanks a lot!!

Bricked? Please help, phone barely boots... Wifes phone and she is ticked

Some background... The whole reason I was rooting this phone was the volume button was malfunctioning... constantly pressing up. I used the hack-ace tool linked somewhere else and followed the directions. At one point during the install the phone went black and the red light began to blink... in command prompt window it just said waiting for device for a long time. Now all it will do it go into the clockworkmod recovery screen. If I try to restart hack ace it says the sd card is either not mounted or corrupted. Any help?!? this is my wifes phone so I need to fix it fast!

When did you use AAHK? It has recently been retired and the files it needs are gone, so using it now can get you stuck. If you have CWM the phone was either S-Off or bootloader-unlocked at some point. Which is it?

Thanks so much for the quick reply! IT had no rooting done before today, it had gotten a little ways into the rooting before it quit... That must be how CWM is on there. It had gotten to the point of HBoot being installed when it quit.

The only thing I can get into is CWM, and it is tricky getting it to run... I think it quit before loading HBoot... TO do that I have to pull the battery and have it hooked up by USB, then turn it on.

Okay, I have the adb installed and went through the process of connecting my inspire with the adb. A serial number came up so assume all is not lost because it installed the drivers for this device.
Where shall I go from here? Once again I can't say thanks enough...

Connect your phone and type adb devices. If it finds a device, type adb reboot bootloader. What does it say?

Thanks for your time last week on this, today the phone booted up with one press of the power button. No idea what happened but whatever glitch there was... it appears to have worked itself out.

Go there and get it set up properly anyway. That should have never happened.
