I sat there last night on 1x dling the new firmware update for an hour and now when it reboots my phone and tries to install I get the triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle with the android guy below that.

Were you rooted?

Why would you download the OTA over 1x? You couldn't have waited until you were in a 3G area at least? I swear that some people lacking patience will be their downfall.
^Agreed with the poster above me. Sounds like you were rooted.

I was rooted is that the problem?
It wouldn't let me download it in any other service. I had to use Lteonoff to put it in CDMA only mode just to get the update to pop up.
Umm... Yeah...
Can you boot in to recovery? I would just DL the rooted update from the dev section and flash that if you can get in to recovery. If you installed the new update you will lose root. You may have already fubar'd something. Try to reboot in to recovery by shutting the phone off and then hold volume down + pwr button to boot into Tue bootloader. Then select recovery from the options.
If you have a "P05IMG.zip" file at the root of your SD card it may not let you boot in to recovery.

I can boot into recovery that's hoe I pulled up my recovery from a month ago.
Which process is better? Unroot then download the update? Or use the leaked version which I am sure that is the same as the ota.

go stock, not with the NEW OTA, then root using the auto root method on android central... then install the pre-rooted OTA rom posted on here. FYI you cannot ever do an OTA while rooted.
All you have to do to stop the update from forcing a reboot and trying to install (in which case it will fail because you are rooted) is boot into recovery and wipe cache only. Then you can make sure all your stuff is backed up. Then d/l the prerooted update and flash with clockwork.

Just had a friend (not rooted TB) try the update but he phone kept going into 1x instead of 3G. So then he restarted the phone so he can regain the 3G connection to dwnload the update, but now phone says it cannot connect to server...any ideas what it could be..!? Ive been trying to convince him to root lol but wont budge....thanks in advance
Start a separate thread since his issue is different than the OP.
If he's not rooted tell him to call VZW or go in to the store. They can help him if he's not rooted.
If he roots then you can DL the update from the dev forum and install it.
If you need more help please start a new thread.

Went back to stock then downloaded the firmware update from my computer and flashed it on my phone. All went successful.
I got into a tiffy...and Im in fear I may have bricked my phone with a boot loop.
Somehow my shift installled ROM manager in process. It is acting as if I am getting SU .. I had "temproot" though I guess i screwed it. I'm going to try to jump on a PC if I can to get this all running. We'll see (osx snow leopard here).
HBOOT screen:
Speedy XE SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.98.0001
RADIO-1.08.00.0506
eMMC-boot
My phone came with it like this. gahhh is this still true?
I cannot use the recovery either.
Help!
If your HBoot is 0.98.0001 with " S-On " your going to have to start the whole Root process over. Check THIS thread. Watch the Videos, and Read the Info. It's all fairly straight forward. The biggest thing is to take your time, and make sure you do the process correctly. I would suggest watching the Videos several times. Also reading the Instructions several times before you start.
Good News *
looks like I was able to make a Nandroid backup of an unrooted Shift I still have that was unrooted. After much trial and error I was able to Restore from a backup. However, the HBoot was HBOOT-0.93.0001 on the other model, the newer one is HBOOT-0.98.0001.
One problem, now the wifi does not work, probably due to the HBoot.
I think a previous user left ROM Manager on it which is how this all happened that a another user tried installing and made it all messed up, somehow CWM 5.8.1.6 was installed already. I was getting ready to install 5.0.2.0 onto it. Now I am trying to recover this persons errors. Funny.
Any of the obvious methods of running a "Back to Stock" routine or using RUU was not working whatsoever since the HBoot was different.
Basically troubleshooting at this point. No idea what to do. I am calling CREDO to see if they can help me update my radios but i am betting i'll probably just get another phone from them. This may be the end of my Shifting since i'll be upgrading to something in the next few months..hopefully htc will save me somewhere, but samsung may be where I land next.
LASTLY :: I found the RUU HERE..but it gave me the same error... "Customer ID Failed"
man.... what a pain in the arse. Guess I'll be getting another shifty from them soon, unless anyone else has any brighter ideas.
So are you saying the 2.2 RUU ran all the way through ? The "Customer ID Failed" is when you boot up ?

RUU ran through but stopped at customer ID, I tried running through bootloader, running the original back to stock 2.2 Froyo, and none of this is working. The phone came with Froyo 2.2. I also tried removing the boot.img from newSENSE in a zip and placed that on the SDCard during another reinstallation of the zip, and none of that seemed to work. I feel like I have tried virtually everyhting and nothing is seeming to work.
I think I am almost figuring out how to crack this new egg, but no idea what's up with it.
If you got it booted but wifi isn't working, that means in system/lib/modules the modules are not matching the boot.img and will throw a WiFi error everytime

Yeah you will need the modules from the boot.img your running. So say you were on newSense while being s-on unlocked and wifi was working, and then you decided you wanted to run a new kernel so you fastboot flash a new boot.img, well when you boot in, the modules in system/lib/modules won't match the new kernel your running, so you have to grab the modules folder from the kernel and push them one at a time to be sure they all go to the right place. I don't remember all the modules names by memory(just know where they are in a ROM and after a compile) but ill give an example command to push a module with an easy module name my simple mind can remember. So place the modules in your platform-tools folder, plug your phone in on charge only and open a terminal to cd to platform-tools then enter these commands*
adb remount
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules (tun.ko and cifs.ko are not used in every kerenel)
adb push *the rest of the modules* /system/lib/modules
adb reboot

Yes, i ran it in recovery. it acted like it pushed, and probably did, but did not work. it is what it is :\
Basically it ended up being some weird halfroot that seemed it had no way on getting it to work . somehow the hardware was flashed earlier on before.
I had it and had the newer CWM, I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
Well, thanks all for the help!

How do i get out of this?
i was flashing a rom and the htc screen was on for a couple hours. so i took the battery out and went into hboot. Im unable to get past the htc screen without it "dying". There is no way for me to get to recovery mode to flash another rom. i put PB31IMG.zip on my sd card to see if it would work. It was successful but once again i couldnt get past the htc screen without it "dying" and going to a black screen. im new here so im unable to post a video of what the phone is doing. i posted it on youtube so if anyone could take a look at it i just need your email to send you the link

Are you able to select fastboot? You can run an ruu from pc with phone connected in fastboot. You will need to install HTC sync to get the drivers if your pc isn't recognizing your device. In the link to the other thread I have the ruu posted.

You put a PB31IMG.zip?? that is not for your hboot, which is PD98IMG. Anyway, what rom were you flashing? It seems that you are prone to flash other phones stuff in yours.
Have you flashed recovery again? seems that you have no recovery at all. Use the guide in my signature to flash recovery again. You are S-OFF, so there is no need to flash a RUU.

Really? Then You are not paying attention. You are flashing a different system file. So, i give up buddy, You can't follow instructions nor read. I am done with You. My advice Is that You should buy an iPhone.
I'm sure I haven't bricked this phone, because in the process of rooting it, it will eventually say it's S-OFF. But after getting to that point, I can choose Recovery in CWM and when it gets to the white screen with the green HTC logo, after about 4 seconds, it will fade to black. This has happened to 2 phones I've rooted. Luckily mine worked like a charm, but after the last 2...I'm afraid to root another one. Does this sound like a bad memory card, or maybe it's not a gold card? I've searched around and couldn't find an answer, so maybe someone here at XDA has experienced this problem and has an answer.
TIA

I quite don't get that....you can choose recovery in CWM?? what does that is supposed to mean? CWM is a custom recovery. I guess that you are probably refering to hboot. Anyway, if you are S-OFF, then you might not have a recovery installed, so flash a new one (use the guide in my signature or look for post # 7 in the Ace Think Tank in the general section of the Desire HD forum)
Make sure first that you are S-OFF for certain, if you are not, then you won't be able to flash anything at all. Then, try re running the Hack Kit again from the white splash screen as the manual tells you to.

Yes, I guess I did mean hboot. In the process of Recovery is when it will fail and there is a ROM loaded for it to recover from on the SD card. Is it possibly because it is looking for the clockworkmod/backup folder and there is not one? I just realized that maybe I can copy a backup from my phone (we have the same exact phone) and place in there if it's possible. I don't have access to the phone now, as it is a friends. Also, if it fades out at the white HTC logo and just gets hung up, there is no way to re-run the Hack Kit is there?
Thanks for the help glevitan, as you've helped me before and I HAVE downloaded your Ultimate Hack Guide and keep it on my phone for reference.

Just a question, are you sure that the phone is S-OFF? or has an unlocked bootlaoder? In either way you can flash recovery again from fastboot and then a custom rom again.
If you need help, I can lend you a hand via teamviewer..just let me know. :good:

ok. Good luck!
Ok glevitan, I believe the problem might be in the PD98IMG.zip that's on the root of my SD card. I noticed when the phone booted into hboot, it would display that the image file was wrong, or something to that effect and then would force an update, which would load the HTC spashscreen and then ultimately fade out. I figured it had a bad PD98IMG.zip file, so I found the original aahk-13012012.zip and extracted the PD98IMG.zip from there and overwrote the one in the root. It didn't work. A different story...I noticed on my Inspire 4G (working correctly, but hboot had same error, even though I could load recovery from there) that it wasn't finding the correct image either. I copied over the PD98IMG.zip onto my phone and now both phones are now fading out on the HTC splashscreen after about 4 seconds. This tells me that it's in the SD card, right? If so, any suggestions? Both phones were rooted using this version of aahk.
Edit: Also, with this new PD98IMG.zip image, hboot will go into the process of parsing for
[1] boot
[2] recovery
[3] radio_v2
Once this is done, I push Power to reboot and that's when I get the failure in the HTC splashscreen.
Edit: I noticed in the PD98IMG.zip there was no md5 file, so I stuck one in there and got my phone working (which is not the one with the original issue started in this thread) and was able to restore a nandroid backup. I put this same SD card in the original damaged phone and it didn't restore like mine did. I still think it's an SD card issue causing the HTC splashscreen fadeout, but don't know where to go know.
Also, my PD98IMG.zip only has a recovery.img and a recovery.md5 file in it. I noticed that the original aahk PD98IMG.zip has those along with a boot.img and a radio.img. Should those be in the PD98IMG.zip? I know this post was edited twice and is very jumbled, so if you can make sense of it and offer solutions, much obliged.

Ok, I quite don't get much...sorry, but that version of the Hack Kit is old, so use the lastest one: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74
But again, I don't still get if the phone is S-OFF or not. If you are S-OFF there is no need to do all that process. Even, you can flash a RUU without using the PD98IMG way if you suspect that the sdcard is messed.
You can flash it over fastboot.... Anyway, you will have to flash this RUU (which is the gingerbread update 2.3.3 version of ATT. the lastest one, if you are not S-OFF will make things a bit harder for you to run the hack kit later): http://https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
Put the phone in fastboot usb (when in hboot, plug the phone and it should read fastboot usb in red, if not, just press power button to toggle to fastboot). Then, just run that .exe file and it should flash...

Sorry, I thought I had said I was S-OFF. I can get my phone to be fastboot usb when hooked up with a usb in hboot, but can't reflash aahk or anything computer related. It just doesn't seem to recognize anything on the PC.
Edit: And I apologize glevitan, I've searched and found a couple of threads related to the black screen after the HTC logo, so I know you guys have helped and explained this numerous times before. I just couldn't get any of the suggestions from those threads to work out. Thanks for any help you may input.

I was having a similar problem, I'm not too sure if it relates to what your experiencing. But I was trying to gain s-off my hboot was in fact unlocked but was still s-on. I was reading around and flashed a few boot.img with fast boot. I had that problem where htc screen would show then fade to black, and then stay black.
What I did was (I had installed recovery pretty early on) I did a factory reset in recovery then went to restore. Prior to this thank god I had transfered my nandroids to the pc b4 flashing new boot.img(s) then flashed the boot.img from the nandroid I just restored. All was well back into stock. I then found the insecure boot.img to use for aahk, flashed that in fastboot and relocked hboot. Reran aahk in linux. Got me to S-OFF with unlock.
If you need a fairly stock nandroid I can provide one.

Ok, you need to reflash the RUU I posted above....you just need to flash that from fastboot usb. If you can't do it, Then you need to flash it manually. Just let me know and I can lend you a hand over teamviewer. When you get the phone back, then you run the hack kit.

glevitan, you're awesome. I restored the phone by running the RUU executable and reran the aahk and am now fully rooted. Both times I got the black screen on this phone previously was on the same PC, but this time I ran aahk on my PC and it ran correctly. I sincerely appreciate your help in helping me to achieve root for this phone. Hopefully this thread helps someone in the future.
Can you or anyone do step by step on how too root the HTC inspire? From step one an not for get anything even if its an hour long video? Anything would help. I'm new with the HTC inspire. It seems that I can't root it at all. I'm not saying I can't root phones I rooted a lot. I have done the HTC Evo sprint the HTC amaze tmobile I have done three galaxy s2's the sprint the boost an the straight talk an many more. But this HTC inspire has me at a "STOP" noting seems too work at all. Please Help Me.

What have you tried? AAHK is the only real option. There is a very clear guide over at the Ace Think Tank post #7, linked in my signature.

Besides what bananagranola said, you need to know that video tutorials suck. They skip important details and that, will probably get you stuck. Read the guide adviced, and the hack kit site (got the link in the Ace Think Tank Thread)...that is all you need to know.
I have tryed the Aahk. My problem is when it ask me to downgrade ruu an all that. All my phone dose when I run the aahk I push 1 an then it ask too downgrade so i put y then something about the ruu an I put y then it says pushing the 9 something file. ( sorry I'm not home on my computer ) so I'm not 100% on what it is saying. But then my phone boots to Hboot dose its thank. Then says bad image. I have done this a lot of times with the aahk. I even tock the s-on off an on. Is there a way that someone can jump into my computer an do this?

Try using a different sdcard. If the RUU image is not being read, that is probably due to a bad sdcard. It is corrupted to work as a goldcard but fine for usual day use.
I have. I have had 4 of them now. Two 2 gigs one 36gig an one 8 gig. New I paid for them an a new USB cored fast data cable for the phone.

2gb is enough...don't use another cable but the oem one that came with the phone. Anyway, that seems to be a sdcard issue. Try with another one and then report back.
I will go buy one more. But I Dont thank its that. An why not use a fast data cored for my phone?

hello to all, i was given this phone by a friend cuz its stuck in CWM. im not new to android but i am to this phone( i have a G2x wich was easier by far to figure out). anyways after much searching in these forums i couldnt find anything to do with this problem so here it is.
I am stuck in CWM. i try to flash a rom( i have tried multiple times with different roms) and i get an error 7. does anyone one know what that means, and if so how do i fix it?
ive been trying to re root or revert to stock but adb must have been disabled and or debugging. any help would be awesome. for now ill keep searching and trying to get adb up and going...
i wonder if having lg drivers for my g2x on my comp would mess with adb....
any comments and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
lmao your lucky your friend never heard of google, but I guess you haven't either haha. Anyway, you need to download a new rom and flash because the one on your sdcard is corrupt
Yup more than likely a bad download or possibly a corrupt partition of sdcard, reformat card, redownload rom, check md5sums
Nope having lg drivers won't effect this phone, but not having the right drivers for this phone is probably why adb doesn't work
Also the g2x is kinda fake rooting funky business, as you found this phone is much different. I would suggest booting into hboot and checking what bootloader you have and if the security flags are still on or not, can make a difference when flashing a rom.
Probably worth your while to read through the stickies and search the forum a bit too

Lol. Seriously dude. I'm not a noob at flashing Roms. I have tried to flash at least 6 different Roms all ending up with error 7. I'm brand new to this phone so treat me like I need a step by step, but don't be condescending plz.

In my signature you'll see a "Mirrors" link. Go there and at the bottom of Post #1 you'll see HTCdrivers.exe. Grab them & load 'em up. ADB should work for you then. Then issue "adb reboot recovery" from a cmd line and when there go to "mounts & storage" & activate. Copy the ROM you want to your SD card while retaining your boot.img in your ADB folder. Wipe Dalvik twice. format cache & then factory reset. Format system then under "mounts & storage". After ROM has flashed from .zip in CWM leave it there and issue "fastboot flash boot boot.img" fom ADB. Reboot & let it settle. Should work.
Don't turn your phone on.....go to HBoot by holding volume down & power at the same time & bypass boot sequence..
I should also mention the reason why this phone is messed up like it is. It was rooted running a custom Roman and then the previous owner did and total. Is that gonna matter much?

I don't think I understand.

Sounds like maybe he was flashing while unlocked with the kernel going in seperately. Your HBoot will tell you that if it says "S-On".
All that aside, XMC is right though. Somehow your ROM is corrupt.
Sorry my typing sucks. The previous owner did an OTA update. i try to get to hboot but it goes straight to cwm. downloaded the drivers from the link provided even...still no adb devices listed in the device manager or when i type in "adb devices" command. if i can get adb working i can get this all fixed, but ill be a raped ape if i knew what the hell happened to this phone.

Thats where your issues are coming from then. You probably have the ....1313 bootloader with S-On. Reread all your responses here & it should get you there.
Well I wouldn't be the first to say that about the g2x, a friend of mine has one and I needed to root it for him, kinda laughed as I read through the forum on how everything is done there, not saying devs aren't talented just saying the phone is well... I don't know how to say it politely so I just won't
Boot into your bootloader and write down everything on that screen here so we can help, if you get adb running just type
adb reboot bootloader
If not power on while holding volume down and you'll get there
My guess is the phone is s-on and the bootloader was at one point unlocked, glad you still have a recovery though, I warned people about this type of stuff before... not to say that I warned you or your friend, just feels as if people believe me some times
Read last post on page 4 some info about your situation, hell skim the whole thread to understand a bit more about htc phones

got adb working...well, adb recognizes a device.....it give me no name just a string of numbers and letters
i followed your instructions to the T. got as far as flashing the rom...error 7 again(big suprise lol)after said error, flashing boot.img doesnt work terminal hangs at waiting for device.
In case your wondering what comes before the error 7....here is:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device)=="doubleshot"
E:Error in /sdcard/mikTouch.zip
(Status 7)
String of numbers is your phone, that's normal
Flashing boot.img is done through fastboot not adb, did you ever make it into your bootloader? It may help if you do and write down everything here.

Your gonna laugh at me. Idk what happened, but cwm is gone now. Device isn't recognized by the computer.

Pull your battery for 15 seconds then pop it back in. Then hold volume down + power & make sure your usb cord isn't plugged in or it will just start booting. That will take you to your bootloader. Write all that down the use volume down to navigate to the "recovey" option. Use power button to select it. From recovey's initial screen use trackpad to to get to the "install from .zip". Next screen select ".zip location" (or something like that). Trackpad down to the ROM.zip file & select. Install. After done...."fastboot flash boot boot.img" then reboot. Let it settle for 5 minutes.

You get an LG splash??? The MyTouch 4G Slide is made by HTC, not LG. If you get an LG splash, either you have a different MyTouch phone, or something is seriously wrong.

Wow didn't even see that!
Yeah if the phone you have in your hands is made by lg then that's your issue, you have a my touch q or something, this forum is for the HTC made mytouch 4 g slide. If this is the case it makes a whole lot of sense your errors when flashing, not being able to get into bootloader, etc.
The old good news would be you probably didn't brake anything, just find the right forum, put it into download mode and restore with some kinda lg stock thing.
