So I've been using CM10 nightlies for months without a problem, and today I installed the newest nightly. The phone now boots, showing the HTC screen, and then goes black. It is responsive to pushing the power button. but all that happens is the backlight turns on, but the screen is still blank. I've read about problems associated with the new 3.17 update, but to my knowledge I have not installed this update. So what can I do? I'm hoping just reverting to the previous nightly can solve this problem?
Hold the power button for about 30 seconds.. And everytime you hold the power button does it boot up to the HTC screen or does it go blank... It could be your LCD blunked out on you but I doubt it....
No, when I do this the HTC screen comes up and then it just goes to black. I don't get the CM spinny wheel or anything, but the screen is definitely still fine.
Hold volume down and power than get to bootloader
Hold volume down and power together while the phone is booting. The hardware keys will blink 5 times then the phone will go off. Let Go of volume down and power. Wait 5 seconds press volume down and power. It will go into bootloader. Select recovery, you'll be in recovery. Flash whatever, brick your phone as you can't read enough to figure out a: don't post twice and b: how to get into the bootloader of the phone you rooted. I'm shocked you got this far.

Thanks so much for being so helpful! I'm not an idiot. I've been installing these nightlies for months without a problem, and this just suddenly arose with the latest one. I tried flashing back to the older nightly, but now the phone boots and is just stuck on the spinning CM animation.

If it gets stuck on the boot logo, then you probably need to manually flash the kernal which should be included in the roms zip/rar file.
Yep, reinstalling kernel and new nightly did the trick. And in the process I'm now running 4.2!

Alright, guys, see if you can help me. Ive got a rooted HTC Inspire with the latest version of clockwork installed. I tried to flash a ROM of cyanogenmod7 onto my phone earlier from a download through ROM manager, but now my phone won't boot. It powers on, vibrates, shows the "HTC" on the screen, then repeats the whole process. I can't boot into clockwork recovery, either. I hold down both volume buttons and hit power then the phone vibrates 5 times. The green LED comes on, but no screen image is displayed.
Any clue on how to fix this, or even better, get into clockwork?
Also, i apologize if this question has already been asked.
Have you tried this:

EDIT: You need to hold only the volume down then power till you see the white screen. Not both volume buttons.

For one thing, I don't think holding down *both* power buttons does anything on this phone.
Vol-down (only) + power gets you to hboot.
Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
Yes, it's updating now in recovery. Thanks everyone! I knew that there was something I was doing wrong, as I had the same issue last night.
Thanks again for all the help!
failed to install nv flash, installed CM 7.1 rc and booted through CMR, installed from ex sd, now stuck in bootloop when trying recovery, no CMR loads as I have read. If I allow it to boot naturally first LG boot screen loads then 2nd and freezes. I cannot boot into recovery, s.w upgrade in progress also showing. Please tell me there is a way out of this mess.
Install nv flash recovery. You can try the one click method to install it.
I installed nv flash and I continue having the same problem It installs correctly but my phone is still stuck I hold vol down and power for an extended period first LG screen loads then second with lg screen loading bar, then white box with arrow and android character, If I release the buttons then the phone stops cycling and loads to the cm7.1 rc1 boot image and freezes (LG screen) . If I do this again and release the power while holding vol down I get the SW upgrade screen. Im guessing by loading cm7 without nvflash the first time Im done. Hopefully someone can help!
pull battery out and put back in hold vol down n power, or just flash nvflash again

I don't think you have nvflash done correctly. You should not be seeing the lg loading bar if you are holding vol dwn + power. It should be an Android screen, at least on mine it is.
If you release too quick, you will get the SW Upgrade screen.
Try and re-flash the recovery again via nvflash.
you both were right, the first and second attempt installing NVFlash it stated it was done successfully, didnt pay attention to final message stating it was missing location, I had Nvflash folder doubled up. Reinstalled Im good thanks for reminding me to retry again I was losing my mind.
Thanks again
Awesome, good to hear.

Hi,
I've been trawling the site looking for answers but to no avail.
No one seems to have a problem the same as mine.
I have an Inspire 4G AT&T
It has been rooted and I have run Coredroid and the latest Leedroid on it.
Everything is running fine except for the volume up button not working.... common problem.
Just in the last couple of days when I do a recovery boot,
There is no clockwork recovery.
There is no Hboot.
I get a constant red blinking light and three vibrates.
If I try to Hboot holding on and up key , I get 5 vibrates and a green flashing light.
Phone will not boot till after about an hour when it happily reboots to Leedroid like nothing has ever happened. Everything runs great apart from this.
Has anyone ever seen a problem like this?
Cannot load any more roms into it till the clockwork mod is sorted
Is you button broken, or is it stuck in one of the up or down positions? If broke, you can always boot into recovery via adb:
adb reboot recovery
Or boot to HBOOT:
adb reboot oem-42
It the button is stuck, then you'll have to disconnect it so it doesn't interfere with the booting process (this breaks seals and voids warranties).

Turn your phone off then hold volume down button then power and see if it works.

Button down and power gives me a red blinking light and 3 vibrates.
nothing on screen. It could be the button being erratic as I often get volume up on screen when I do get it loading. If the button was getting an up press during boot, how will this affect the startup process ?
I have done some fiddling as suggested and have found the volume up button to be sticking.
Have removed ribbon cable. now all I have to do is make clockwork work without sound buttons.
Changed recovery bootloader to

All is good now. No sound buttons needed...
My phones screen seems to shut off and not wake up. I can tell the phone is on though because the buttons light up. And if I press and hold the back button the flashlight turns on. Also the volume rockers seemed to work but the screen stays off. Occasionally it seems to turn back on but but it'll just go back off again. Rebooting the phone doesn't working and I've also installed two different ROMs on it. Any advice on how to solve this?
Relock bootloader with fastboot oem lock cmd and download and run the ruu according to your phone version and see if the problem persists. If you don't know how to get into fast boot hold power and volume down until buttons stop flashing and keep holding volume down till you get See the screen with skating HTC men. Or if you have a backup in recovery you can restore from recovery and see if that helps your problem.

I was hoping I wasn't going to have to do that but I will if its my only option.
Kernel mods will do that also.

Do you have backups in recovery, and like before you flashed roms? (stock rooted)

Haven't messed with any kernels. I was running the latest CM10 nightly when it happened. Figured it was the rom so I switched to the stable version but problems still happened.

No. No backups unfortunately.
My other suggestions would be to make sure you don't have a corrupt zip. Downloading from chrome or from you phone I've had issues. Ei8 or ie9 works well for me. Hope you get it figured out.

That was happening to my phone. I found that if i applied pressure to opposite corners at the same time, the screen would come back. If i let go, the screen would return to black. Everything worked when I touched the screen, volume rockers, etc. I took it into AT&T and they gave me a new one under warranty. I was running CleanRom 5.1 at the time. I honestly do not believe my problem was caused by over flashing or any type of hacking. SO, try to flex or contort the phone in different directions and see if you can cause it to turn on and off.
I ended up having to use RUU. The problem seems to be fixed. Still don't know what caused it but at least it wasn't a hardware issue.
A thanks would be nice

I appreciate you taking the time to help. And anyone for that matter but unfortunately the problem is still there. Might have to return it. Hopefully I won't get any issues from ATT for being rooted.
ok my blaze was rooted running a 4.3 rom (dirty unicorns) i was playing a game and all of a sudden it booted off, it booted back up and the samsung logo appears it goes black and vibrates. So i decided to revert back to stock and once i go to download mode menu and once i select to enter download mode it randomly reboots to the samsung logo and then it starts to vibrates again, i cant even get into recovery, what do i do, is it hard bricked?

If it just froze and rebooted the recovery should be fine.
Pull the battery for a minute. Insert it, then hold both volumes down together (the whole rocker), then hold the power button until it vibrates then release the power button. Continue to hold the volumes until the recovery is up. Restore a backup or do a clean reflash.

Exactly, all i need is download mode but when i enter it it vibrate loops after a press volume up.
when i enter download mode i see a blue screen then it boots and vibrates, why is it doing that
When the screen turns blue, does it start off black, and then start becoming pixelated and end up blue? Or does it just turn blue immediately? I had the same issue where I bricked my phone while I was using 4.3, and tried reverting back to stock... Sometimes, you cannot get into download mode if the phone is plugged in or not plugged in... Try both ways to see if you get any different results! Also try removing the battery for 30 seconds and then putting it back in... When you go back to stock, make sure it is ICS and not GB! You only get stuck in a boot loop if you do GB!

Hard brick won't boot at all. Even though it's not booting properly it still boots which means there is hope. Try going in to download mode plugged into USB with the battery pulled. If it works Odin back to stock. If you get stuck in a boot loop after flashing stock, don't panic. Just boot to recovery and wipe your cache's and reboot. Let us know if you need anything or resolve the issue.
