[Q] Htc inspire boot problem

Hey there this is my first post here.
I have problems with my HTC INSPIRE 4G.
When i shut down or reboot my device take a long time in black screen, after that HTC logo an vibrating.. it takes like 5 minutes, i mean 5 minutes vibrating. after that vibrating stops and short time after that the CM9 logo and start. the whole process is about 10 minutes.
I don´t know if this is a hardware problem or software. Today i was trying to update my radio with fastboot. but i don´t even finish the process. in the part of ADB reboot, the device reboot and since that the problem is present.
What can i do? i can not get into recovery mode or bootloader.
i made a little research and over there is a procedure for fixing the soft brick with fastboot, but i don´t know if this is a brick or what.
Please Help
PS. Sorry for the bad english.

Your bootloader is messed up. Did you buy your phone used or did you root it yourself.

See if you can use aahk to flash a newer hboot version. It may not be able to because of the slowness. You can also use a PD98IMG to flash hboot from bootloader. I would try the aahk method first though.

I tried the aahk and it stuck right after i select option 1. What you mean with the PD98IMG? I can not access top bootloader right now

Im triying one more time the aahk and it is working but now is in the part when the device supouse to restart and it says "waiting for device"
and the device i taking a long to reboot. i will wait and post the results.
TY

the aahk is stoped in writing "ZIP"....
What if i close the windows and try again?

Do you know how to use adb. You can boot to bootloader from pc using adb with the "adb reboot bootloader" command. If you can I have a PD98IMG you can load onto root of sd card that will prompt to install from bootloader screen. Due to the slowness though you will have to be patient.

You place that file in the root of your sd card (outside of any and all folders). Once you are in hboot, the system will check for it automatically, then it will ask you if you want to apply the update.

As teichopsia said load it on root of sd and boot into bootloader. When using adb to reboot you will end up in fastboot and will need to select bootloader. Give it time after that to find the image. Also in the future you will want to flash radios using the same method. All inspire radios are packed into a PD98IMG. You shouldn't need fastboot to do anything.

I have just fixed this problem using Gizmoe's PD98IMG (thank you) and Glevitan's tutorial (thank you).
The whole process is listed but you must BE PATIENT! I will take a couple of hours, most of the time waiting for something to happen.
Good luck.

Lucky you on Rogers. Still waiting on AT&You're taking fricking forever T

I have no SIM card in and am connected to the internet via wifi and when I check for an update it comes back as "no update found". Do you need a SIM card in to get an update?
I have a white Rogers HTC One X, 16GB.

Android Version: 4.1.1

I'll download it over Wifi when I get home, since the update is over 600 megs (only have a 1GB plan).
Work's wifi seems to be slow today.

It doesn't make sense to me... Why doesn't everyone just wait for a flashable version?

If youve already got custom recovery then just flash a JB Rom...Just don't forget the boot.img if your bootloader needs it. If you flash a JB and don't like it you can always just restore your backup.

I'm currently running CM10 but I'm having technical issues with the ROM which is why I'm looking to install 4.1 from HTC.

I've read a few posts on sites with folks that have installed this bean, that their WiFi is not working properly.
So if you're looking for a fix all, might want to keep waiting til the devs here work their magic. Just pointing that out.

I'm one of those "folks".
I can connect to my network and access the settings pages for my router and access point, but I can't access the internet through any apps, including gmail, browser and speedtest.net app. Data works fine, I can connect through Fido LTE and everything works great. I tried deleting the cache partition via the stock recovery and that didn't work, so I'm backing up my stuff right now to try a full wipe.
I'll post an update after the wipe!
Side note: there are a few improvements, like updated keyboard, direct tabs button in browser, that are very welcome, so hopefully the wi-fi thing is an easy fix!

Interesting. Updating now. I hope if I have Wifi issues that an OTA fix is quick to come.

I agree with it should be a quick fix, once HTC clues up and in over it.

Wi-Fi is working now after a factory reset.
Sucks I had to do it but it's better than no Wi-Fi! I know it's not unusual to require a reset after an update, but it is unusual that in the update notes it said you won't lose your files, which lead me to believe a reset wouldn't be required :-/
YMMV, so you might want to wait a few days before doing the upgrade, and if you can't make a backup, at least back up your "SD Card" in case you have to do a factory reset like I did!

How to install official HTC software updates via CWM?

Hi.. i added in CWM for the Pico but kept on the original ROM. Now i have a pop up saying there is an update to the phone but i can use the normal way of updating it because it will get stuck at the title screen of CWM.
May i know how i can do it then?
Thanks

[Q] Storage Problem

I've essentially messed up my phone. I managed to root and install the paranoid android rom onto my HTC One S, but after this, I noticed that my phone thinks that it's supposed to have external storage. So, when I go into the camera app, it doesn't let me take pictures as there is no SD card. I can't connect my phone to the computer for some reason. But I am able to download apps from the Play Store. Please, please, please help.
Thanks in advance
Alex
PS: I installed the ROM ages ago, and I don't remember how I did it. I have clockwork recovery and fastboot. Thanks again.

Install goomanager then give it root access, and then hit menu and click install open recovery... Then do a backup of your Rom and try installing a new Rom and see if the error pops up again.

I have the app, the problem is that when I try to Install OpenRecoveryScript, it has to download a recovery image which I tried, but it just says the download failed because of the SD card.

http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/ville/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-ville.img
Drop that file where your fastboot file is located and go into your bootloader and type "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-Ville.img" then "fastboot reboot-bootloader" then go into your recovery and try reflashing the Rom. Twrp is far better then clockworks.

Boost ics stock rom?

Does anyone have Boost ics stock rom? My bootloader is unlocked and I have cwm but s-on. I don't have a way to get on a pc. Can I install through recovery with a nandroid or a .zip with s-on?

Sorry I didn't mean to post this in this thread. I'm not sure how to move it..

A moderator has to move it upon request. Yes, one is available on here, but you are S-On so you may have to pull the boot file from the backup, change name to boot.img then flash it using fastboot (which requires a pc)
However, I haven't been S-On in a long time so I could be wrong about the boot.img...
@russellvone could you elaborate for me.
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks for the quick reply! I know flashing probably wouldn't work and I already tried to use a jb nandroid from my brothers phone which didn't work which is why I was wondering if a stock ics unrooted would work

I'm not real sure what happened. All I did was do factory reset in cwm and now its stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant

Haha, that's simple, when you did a factory reset in CWM you formatted your partitions. Your boot.img is still intact but you have nothing on your data, system, etc so there is nothing to load which is why you are not getting past the screen. Only do a factory reset in a custom recovery when like flashing a Rom for example. Which version OS were you on originally before you wiped your phone out ....

I don't have an ICS backup, but I know @russellvone does. He keeps stuff like this on hand for just a situation like this one. However, you should only need to flash the system.img and be good after that. I recommend doing an OTA update in your settings once you get your device back up and going. We will be receiving 4.2.2 with Sense 5 soon.
Anyways, I tagged him as you can see. Just visit back here periodically to see if he replied back. He will, I guarantee you that. He will help you restore your device
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Okay, thanks for the help! Much appreciated!!! Would I have to flash the system.img with fastboot or would it be in a nandroid?

You will use your custom recovery. He will explain the steps. .

You can use a JB backup but you will need the firmware.zip that comes in the JB OTA to flash in rebootRUU to complete the process on your device.
I sent a pm to russellvone about the situation so when he responds he should already be good to go to help you out.

Lol this stuff is so confusing. I'm still a noob on this phone haha. I wish there was something like mobile odin for HTC devices

Also, go S-Off so next time if something goes wrong like this you won't need a PC (unless it is something serious lol).

Yeah I've been checking this off and on. You guys are life savers!! Thanks alot!

Your boot.img is still intact so flashing that Rom should get you booted up just fine. If for any reason you get stuck on the HTC screen then you will need to extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot (however that shouldn't be necessary since you are still on stock boot.img for ICS)
