[Q] I have deleted custom and stock ROM stuck in recovery and stuck at boot screen

So.. The other day I rooted my htc sensation perfectly, and gained super user access, S-off and all that stuff to root.
So I flashed a MIUI rom onto the phone which worked perfectly.
Today I tried to flash the Virtuos Quattro ROM onto my phone and it didn't work. So I cleared the cache, user data, and all that, but every time I tried to flash the rom it came up with an error.
(At this point when I turned the phone on , it when in a boot loop..l unless I went into recovery mode.) so I tried to restore the MiUI ROM and it wouldn't work anymore..
So I formatted the system and still no luck. Formatted the SD card and no luck.
However, after doing all of that, I lost the MIUi ROM, have no way of getting to a home screen, and I don't know how to get back either to my stock rom or to the MIUI rom.
It still says I'm S-off.. But I have no clue how to get back to either my stock rom ( because I have no idea where to find it) which is what I want to do again
Have I deleted the stock rom?
Is there a way to get back to the stock rom in this case? Or what should I do?!?
In desperate need of help guys!!
Cheers

Nothing to worry.
Virtuous rom, you need to flash latest firmware in order for this rom to work. Read rom guide carefully, there is a guide how to flash virtuous rom in development section if I remember correctly.

Just download a Rom on you computer and while in recovery enable usb storage and copy the Rom to your ad card and flash again. Unless you want virtuous you have to flash a newer firmware like the guy above me said

How do you turn on USB mass storage in recovery?
And is there a way I could go back to my stock rom?

would you be able to link me to the instructions on how to do that ?

you can take your sd card out and plug it in your computer and put the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sd card and virtuous quattro in any folder
after that get the sd card in the device go to bootloader flash the new firmware (keep in mind tho that to flash the new firmware you have to be superCID) then go to recovery wipe and flash virtuous quattro and youre all set
heres the thread were you can find the new firmware:

Well befo trying that, I tried what the other guy said and used USB storage to put a ROM on... But when I went to rrecovery and tried to flash it, it keeps saying 'error, can't mount /sd-ext!' and then aborts the flash.... So I can't put anything on still (

re download the rom.. sounds like a bad download... if you wanna run ics... download new firmware name it whatever it's supposed to be name... put it on the base of the sdcard... sdcard/ ok now have your downloaded rom and the firmware on the sdcard. not a folder just in the base directory... ok in recovery wipe everything first... data cache system boot... everything except sdcard... then flash/install the rom.... then reboot to bootloader in the power options in ext4 recovery , the bootloader will read the firmware file... should be named pd58img or something like that (dont quote the file name i could be wrong) anyways the bootloader will pick it up and ask you if you wanna update, hit volume up for yes... after it's done hit the power button again to reboot and all should be welll with ics... oh and then hit the thanks button for me..... you really just need to open to browser windows... one where you download the firmware read how they say to install one for the rom read how they say install and then look at my post... with all the info here i think u can figure it out... sorry if i aint making sense i just wored 14 hours... gotta sleep now... good luck

[HELP] Might have bricked my phone

Hi all please can someone help me. I tried to flash the latest version of Elegence ROM sense 4 and updated my bootloader to 3.33. Since doing this my phone will not boot past the first animation screen. I have tried other ROMs and older bootloaders I have previously used but no luck. I cant used ADB because windows wont detect my phone, I have the ability to get into the bootloader and EXT4 recovery thats it. If anyone can help me I would be greatly appreciated!

ok try this pal.
1.re-install the required firmware for your prefered rom. (elegance?)
2.boot into recovery
3.format everything apart from your sd-card.
4.install rom.
5.reboot and wait for 10 mins max. if it doesnt boot come back for help.
additional. when you flash new firmware you need to delete your cache or the phone will just bootloop. just so you know for next time :highfive:

Just for future reference if you get to the bootanimation screen its probably not bricked.

[Q] Boot loops after flashing ANY rom

I have S3 right here and I tried flashing Trickdroid ICS, JB as well as JellyBean Official TWRP zip.
It is S-ON, so after flashing the zip, I go to fastboot and flash boot.img.
I did it already 2-3 times with every rom, but every time I get boot loop. Phone restarts as soon as the first HTC logo disappears.
What is wrong with that?

Do you have the latest TWRP 2.4.1.0 ? (did you try reflashing your recovery?)
What android did you have before unlocking your bootloader? 4.0.3 or 4.0.4?
(and don`t panic If nothing works there is always a solution by relocking your phone and flash the ruu for your phone from here)

What's was you on before flashing a custom rom? because just a guess but I think it was 4.0.3 if that is so then try TrickDroid for S3 and get v3 which is 4.0.3 so should work.

It was stock, but I didn't check the version before flashing.
So, TD 3.0, then TD 5.0 and it will work?
By the way, what is better? TD 5.0 or JellyBean Official TWRP?

No only v3 but if you can get an RUU thats more up to date then do that and the v4/5 should work.

So you didn't install a custom kernal before

Em what he said he did.

You cannot flash S4 roms with an S3 phone, have you made sure that the Roms you flash are specifically assigned for S3? Cuz most are S4

Thanks, guys. That was HBOOT problem. I flashed latest RUU and then I was able to use JB roms.

I am terribly sorry to bump this thread but it is EXACTLY what I need. I read through it and am slightly confused with what you guys said.
Here's my situation:
I have a HTC Evo 3D and have tried running multiple ROMs and on every ROM I run into a boot loop. I use TWRP 2.2.0 and boot that onto my phone using the code "Fastboot boot twrp-shooter.img", then from there I go into TWRP and add the ROM to the root of my SDcard. Then I use TWRP to wipe my cache, delvik cache, system, and do a factory reset. Then I go to install from SDcard and install my desired ROM that I am trying. It is successful and when I reboot it shows the HTC logo, then the loading screen for the ROM, then it goes black, then back to the HTC logo and it continues to loop the same booting sequence over and over.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something different that I should use or do?
I've been trying to figure out this issue for more than 36 hours and I am borderline psycho right now, I really need answers!

1. check if you are s-on or s-off. If you are s-on, you will also need to flash the kernel (boot.img) from a computer (after you flash the zip)
2. make sure your rom is compatible with your phone

Next time, read first, understand, after that do sh.......... stuff.
And if it stucks with all roms, that means that you are just flashing them wrong, so again,
1- Read
2- Understand what you have just readed
3- Read it again, just in case
4- Do stuff.

thanh you very much

THanks u. Sr beacuse i'm a newbie. the next time i will do that !! ^^

i dont understand
so i do correct everything you say. but when i full wipe and reinstall stock rom. screen still stuck in logo HTC. what should i do ????

From where did you get stock rom, if it's your backup there is pretty big chance to not work properly? And how long are you waiting for rom to boot(now, not before), sometimes it needs at least 5-7 minutes, even more sometimes.
And are you sure you are wiping everything from everywhere(meaning do you wipe stuff from 'advanced' menu in recovery). Whit this comes next question, which recovery are you using, if you don't know just say, is it touchable recovery, or not. (no disrespect intendet, asking like this, because you sayed that you are a new user, so im trying to say things as simple as I can.)
But mostly if you wipe everything as it should be, there is pretty much no way that rom won't boot.

1. i get link for stock Rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189199
2. i used file superwipe.zip to wipe.
3. i wait 15 minutes but still stuck logo

You have to do:
1. Make sure you have a custom recovery cwm/twrp.
2. Flash super wipe
3. Flash ROM
4. Reboot
Phone will definitely work otherwise you have either done something strange to your phone or its a hardware fault ie. You broke it

i don't do something else. i just root phone and then reset factory. My phone stuck in logo . and Then i tried to flash different rom . but It still not working. Ah i remember one time i tried flash a new kernel for rom nextgen. so This is the reason ????

whether install rom with the way: " flash 3 file system system.img, boot boot_signed.img, recovery recovery_signed.img." my phone is going to work normally?

Flash jaggyrom 4.1 man if will boot I bet !
Roms have kernel included ! So what you did doesn't matter its just like a fresh thing when you flash a new ROM!
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium

And try without superwipe, try wiping stuff manually.

maybe i found the error of my phone. I formatted SD-card . I think HTC pico use a part of SD-card to store data of system. when i try flash rom JaggyRom" [3.2.1] from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473218 and partition a part of SD-card is ex3. i can go to the main screen of android. but system have problem have report "full storage". just 1 mb empty. i did used A2SDGUI to move data but still error full storage

did you play around with clocked kernels?

i don't know. I think Kernel is included in rom

[q] htc logo & the bootloop

Hi,
So, my htc explorer have a few problems:
- It's either stuck on the very first htc logo or in bootloop.
-For stock rom {htc_pico_stock_1.43.720.2} & CM9 rom {cm-9-20130304-UNOFFICIAL-pico}......Its stuck in the bootloop.
-For stock rom both {Htc_Explorer_AsiaIndia_stock} & {1.12 or may 1.14}........ Its stuck on the htc logo.
-I have tried both twrp and cwm, none works. Currently I have twrp.
-I can get into the bootloader and then into recovery and can easily flash roms ( which actually don't work )
Any expert bro here that can help me get the phone back to life. Please help out.

One more looped A310e...
Hi to all.
Please, help me to find out, what is wrong with my HTC Explorer A310e. I'am trying to change the stock 2.3.5 ROM to something more optimized, and stuck with the problem, that device is going to "hang" with almost any ROM After flashing and reboot there is a HTC logo and nothing more happens (I've even waited for 7 hours). The only ROM, that was able to boot for now is the HTC Sense 4.0 Lite Build#14
The device was complettely stock from the manufacturer. What I've already did:
1. Got the boot unlock .bin via htcdev and flashed it via fastboot.exe utility.
2. Flashed CWM 6.0.2.8 for Pico, but it doesn't work - after choosing the "recovery" option in boot menu, I see an HTC logo for a few seconds, then screen goes off. So, I've flashed v5 - it works, but can't install some of Cyanogen-based ROMs with the Status 7 Error.
3. Flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 for Pico. The installation process of Cyanogen-based ROMs is now OK, but phone is not booting (stuck with HTC logo for infinite, or have a bootloop).
4. Tried the superwipe, mentioned in this thread, in various modes (install superwipe, than flash the ROM; install superwipe, reboot recovery, than flash the ROM, etc.), but no result
5. Partitioned SD-card with 1Gb of Ext3 partition + 64Mb swap (via TWRP function).
What I've missed or doing wrong?..
P.S. Sorry for errors, if there are ones, English - it's not my native language...

Mr. Snake0437,
Use superwipe and flash stock htc 1.43 version rom, only this one works using twrp. Well i haven't tried Philz recovery, use it, it might work and if it did do tell me. Best of luck
