[Q] Desire S boots into recovery mode automatically!!

hello, I have a problem with a desire s phone which keeps booting into recovery mode when i turn it on. here's my step by step of what I did that got me into this predicament.
the phone had a stock 1.48 asia rom 0.98.0002 bootloader locked, and unrooted. so first I ran revolutionary had no problems there, had a revolutionary logo on my bootloader afterwards and the bootloader version was now 6.98.0002 or something I forget. anyway the next thing i did was I downloaded the stock euro rom 2.10.401.9 and extracted the rom.zip then renamed it to PG88img.zip copied it to the memcard ran fastboot, then fastboot automatically installed the zip after installation restarted the phone, now the phone was stuck on the white htc screen, so I ran recovery press the power and vol up and did a factory reset, had no luck with it still stuck on htc screen, now after reading a lot of threads, downloaded the ENGpg88img bootloader flashed it using fastboot and it was successful, the revolutionary logo was gone and the bootloader was now 6.98.0000 ( PG880000) but now when I rebooted the phone it would go directly back to recovery!! So the next thing i did was ran the euro rom again from the memcard thru fastboot and it updated the bootloader to the newest version and had a "locked"on top of the screen, so i did a boot unlock using htcdev and now its unlocked, then downloaded the clockwork recovery for saga then flashed it using fastboot with no problems. so now when I turn on the phone it goes straight to clockwork recovery! So last thing I did which also failed was I downloaded a pre rooted stock rom euro 2.10, placed it on memcard installed the zip from clockwork recovery then wiped all the data, dalvik cached and all then rebooted. But it still went back to clockwork recovery now I'm stumped. Really need help on this one.

long story short, I can only use fastboot, and if I use clockwork mod recovery to mount system i can do some adb commands. i also tried putting it in fastboot and ran an official RUu but I always get error 150. any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that your chip is gone. I have the same problem (boot looping) and had to try reclamation by phone provider. Find thread with "boot looping", or "white screen". You will find some software for a searching of your chip. Finaly all depends on your mobile vendor

yeah i thought it was the chip, but after 3 days of tinkering with it and reading a lot of threads i finally got everything back to normal. thanks for replying though zdech

Hi, I have the same problem with HTC Desire.
Could you tell how you solved this please?

I don't know if he did what he wrote, but a big mistake was the last step.

he installed ROM and wiped afterwards. Of course it fails at booting ;-)
If you really are in the same situation like him, wiping first and install ROM afterwards should solve the problem ;-)

Have to disagree with you there, what he said was
installed ROM
wiped DATA
wiped CACHE
rebooted
The ROM ZIP would have been flashed into SYSTEM not DATA, so wipe shouldn't have caused a problem
question is did BOOT flash ok?

[Q] Weird: Hangs after splash scrn, flashes on reset, charging etc. Anyone seen this?

So I have a weird problem.
I have a Sensation that's been rooted and unlocked to S-OFF. Recovery flashed ok and works but no matter what rom I try, it will boot to the splash screen then show the beginning splash animation (quietlly brilliant) and hang there and make zero progress.
-4Ext touch recovery works fine. I can boot into it and it does everything just fine in regards to clearing cache/data/dalvik etc and flashing roms.
-bootloader reports S-OFF but also says *LOCKED* at the top
-When resetting the phone and also when charging, the LED flash fires.
- Have tried wiping phone, reformatting, clearing data/cache/dalvik etc none do anything
-4ext recovery tools report that the partitions are misaligned?
So, technically it's not bricked but it wont run any ROM I install on it. Does anyone recognize these symptoms? How do I get past this? Thanks for any information.

If you are trying to flash ics roms you need to have the latest firmware installed. Have you done this?

Can you please be more specific?
What screen are you exactly getting, the boot logo then a reboot? are you getting a recovery screen or do you bootloop not into the system but into ClockworkMod recovery?

The boot boot logo then restart. same thing with the stock rom it would boot into the Rogers logo then restart

Have you tried formatting through recovery? formatting can be found in mounts and storage.

yup, when I get back home I'll see if I can darkside wipe. see if that will help

That should help a lot. It should definitely work, make sure you install a Custom ROM and not a Stock ROM.
Make sure in future situations you don't install a stock ROM if your current ROM is a custom ROM, this can cause problems and will not fix problems. If you want to revert back to Stock ROMs after installing a Custom ROM I highly recommend you use Fastboot to flash the image. However there are tutorials and instructions on how to use Fastboot efficiently and properly so you don't mess anything up.
Cheers

Thanks again, darkside wipe worked. I have no clue what bricked it in the first place though

No problem Wiping everything would've worked too lol!

[Q] Weird Problem. Only one rom boots.

Hi Guys,
Well my pico is stuck in the weirdest issue. It only and only boots up when i flash miui rom. On every other rom, i get boot loops or just stuck at boot screen.
I've tried cwm, twrp and currently am on Philz recovery. Nothing seems to work.
Have tried flashing the stock rom (goes in boot loop), CM 10 (stuck at boot screen, never-ending circle cyanogenmod), revolution and the sense 4 roms. (all stuck at boot screen)
I have tried with ext3 and ext4 partitions. ALso tried without partitions. Wierdly only and only miui rom boots up. I am trying the latest version of miui and its unusable. Very buggy atleast on my pico.
Now if it boots in miui why does it not boot other roms. I always do a complete wipe before each install.
Also, i know the RUU can be used. I have just one query, if i lock the bootloader with cmd "fastboot oem lock", can i also unlock it in the same manner?
Kindly help stuck on pico since weeks.

Try using superwipe to wipe the partitions and also try downloading any other ROM except those you have tried or latest builds of that as well, maybe that could help.
Talking about RUU, don't install that unless you know what you're doing. "fastboot oem lock" locks your bootloader and if you have rooted your phone(That's obvious ) then you might know that there is a different command for unlocking the bootloader that works on fastboot !! :good:

Hey Vaibhav. Thanks for the reply. I'll download and check other roms. I have used the super wipe before installing all the roms. Will update soon regarding the same. Even tried various SD cards, still same issue mann. Donno what's wrong exactly!

[Q] Stuck at HTC splash screen after ROM flash

Happens ever time when I try to flash a new ROM. The phone will get stuck at the splash screen and nothing else happens. The default backup I made works fine, but if I try any other ROM, it freezes.
Currently using TWRP 2.6.3.0, rooted, and bootloader is unlocked.
Any suggestions?

Without s off you will need to manually fastboot flash the boot.img of every Rom you flash. Recovery has no access to boot partition without s off.

Not my thread, but it still kinda applies:
What about if I'm flashing a stock RUU and it gets stuck on the splash screen (or boot loop)?
Currently the phone has a relocked bootloader and S-ON.
Can't really access much else.
Ideas?

I would run RUU with a freshly formatted sd card. Make sure RUU flash is completed as well and you aren't trying to downgrade or anything. Other than that your emmc may be toast.
