Help! Stuck in Hboot Loop. [SOLVED]

Help! I installed Android Rev 3.0 with no problems at all...worked great! Today I noticed Android Rev 4.0. I saw in the instructions that you needed to WIPE to install. Being a noob, I thought that meant that you had to format the sd card...which I did using rom manager. Then in rom manager I went to install the new Android Rev 4.0 off of my newly formatted sd card...and i've been stuck in a HBOOT loop ever since. I can't even get the phone to be recognized by my computer to try to flash RUU. I do have S-off. I do have the clockworkmod backup recovery.img, system.img and boot.img...but I can't get past this HBOOT loop. I tried everything to get into recovery...but nothing works...even tried system restore...nothing. I think the sd card might have lost its goldcard status because it no longer says "goldcard". Could that be the problem? Any suggestions? I need help before my 30 day return status is gone!

It's not suppose to help getting into recovery. Quick question tho: when you get into bootloader, does any option that you choose send you back to bootloader?

Can you get into fastboot?
If you can this might help.

When the phone starts...it goes into fastboot...then goes to HBOOT...then runs the PD98IMG...updates....goes back to HBOOT screen. When I select recovery...it shows the HTC logo...fades to black...then nothing. No button pressing in the world gets it out of that black screen. I take the battery out...put it back in...and back to the fastboot screen I go. I'm going to try the new updated PD98IMG file mentioned...fingers crossed! I wonder if it would be as simple as getting a SD card file dump from someone who just installed AR 3.0 and putting the same files on my card? I dunno...gonna try the PD98IMG again first!

You might have to run the RUU and then re root

The PD98IMG.zip that I downloaded from this thread worked! I can't believe it! It's a miracle!
If only I didn't snap my sd card cover in half trying to remove it numerous times...I would be completely unfazed...but now I have to scour ebay to find a replacement!
Thanks to everyone who helped! I hope this will help some other lost soul! Now to reroot and get that AR 4.0 installed!

[Q] Firmware install error

Im trying to install the latest version of ICS and i have tried several times to update the firmware from here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432220) I put on the sd card, turn off phone, volume down and power... it begins to update and says, model id incorrect update fail, press power to reboot.
I had alrdy installed it once from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618) I did the 3.06. But when i first tried the latest ICS rom with that it got stuck in HTC boot loop.
I am s-off with HBOOT-1.20.0000
Anyway what can i do to resolve this issue? Ive never had any problems until now. I have tried searching for this but not much luck. I hate to of posted this but didnt know what else to do. Figured all the geniuses here could prob help me in a split second vs the hrs ive tried to figure it out on my own.
Thanks

Although i have updated and flashed many roms before.

Hi,
You are trying to flash the wrong firmware.
You need the 3.12 firmware .(just below the 3.06 firmware on the thread page)
This will give you an hboot 1.23 so that you can flash a 6.x.x ROM.

Well thats y i am confused... i had alrdy installed the 3.06 firmware (figd meant i was supercid) and had attempted to do the 3.12 (from the same thread) but its giving me the update error. I just tried it again and exact same thing happens. I believe it is an 18mb firmware file just to be sure its correct?
So far in all my searches i havent read where anyone has had this issue so thats y im confused as to y it wont work!

Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid.....download the file, double click it (don't unzip) then open the text file and add your cid/mid to the list, save and exit, then place file on your sdcard.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

boot loop after flashing new ROM

Hi all,
I've searched many forums for a solution to my problem but to no avail
I have flashed many roms before hand without a problem (last one installed was OnceICS 1.0.4) and as i have installed the latest release of this rom ( OnceICS 1.1.1) i was given a boot loop after.
I tried multiple roms after this such as android revolution hd and insert coin as well. all of which leave me with a boot loop.
Any solutions to this problem will be greatly appreciated

try taking out your sd card from your phone then flash again. if that dont work try reformatting sd card in recovery. that always works for me when i get boot loop.

cheers mate, ill give that one a try. i'll let you know how i go.

ok well that didn't seem to work any other solutions anyone?

Did you put the new firmware on?

not sure what you mean by that mate :S would that be usually a file named PG58IMG.zip per chance?

Yep, put it on your sd card, boot into bootloader and let it do its job, then remove the file from the sd card

Install the latest 3.32 firmware.
Or if you have Super CID you can use this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

if i do try the first method there, what one would i be looking for? there is quite a few ones there to choose from on the 3.32 :S
YAY!! fixed it, just did a firmware update and all went well, thank you all for you help. Greatly appreciated

You need to get the app from the store (CID Getter) to get your MID/CID number, then match it up to the right one.

Yup, make sure you get the firmware with the right CID number or you're in for a world of hurt.

Twrp Failed and Phone's Possibly Bricked

So I wanted to flash a new ROM on my HTC Inspire 4g using TWRP. Well, I cleared the system, cache, etc. Then when I tried to flash the ROM it failed. When I tried to turn on the device it was stuck on the HTC logo. I tried many other ROMs however they have also failed. I tried updating TWRP using adb and fastboot but it also failed. Is my device bricked?? How can I fix it.
(This is my 1st post, sorry if I did anything incorrectly I desperately need help.)

S-off, Thanks for replying.

Click on my signature, go to the second post, search for the pd98img of 4ext. I'm assuming that recovery is giving you problems. Not sure since I have never used it. Instructions should be in that post.

Sorry but I can't find the instructions, can you point me to the right direction.

My bad, they are not there.
Place the file in the root of the sd card (outside of any folder).
Reboot/boot into hboot, follow the on screen instructions. Once you are done, either move the file from the root of the sd card or delete the file.
Once done, check to see if you have a recovery.
In that same thread in post#7 you'll find a guide with a different method for getting a recovery, I would suggest to read the guide first, see if you a different solution to your issue or which of the two methods you prefer.

Sorry for the late reply, but I fixed thanks to you. I am so thankful of you. I was just minutes away from buying a new phone. Thanks for all the help. Again, sorry for the late reply.

I'm glad you got it sorted out. All you need to do is return the favor when someone needs some help. Take it easy.

HTC Sensation (early x-mas gift) Stuck on CM9 boot-up screen

Hello,
I have gone through the other threads that looked similar to this problem but I found nothing that worked there.
HBOOT - 1.27.0000
S-On
Unocked.
I went through the stages on the HTC website, got everything set up with Super User . I then backed-up and went to load up CM 9.
It basically just hangs in the little boot animation.
I tried using superclean (I think it was called that) It did not work.
I can get into the bootloader and clockworkmod touch but I cannot seem to get an image to work.
I tried one of the CM nightlies and it just hung at it's animation boot up screen also.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi,
You don't need a superwipe scriptm As you have s-on, you just flash boot.img inside the ROM.zip through fastboot, in this way:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
