I have a HTC Inspire 4G, I got the bootloader unlocked and had it rooted. I had CWM Recovery on it that was like version 5.8 the one before that. I tried flashing a jellybean firmware, the phone never went by past the HTC white screen. I tried updating the recovery and it still didn't work. Right now my phone can only boot into hboot and that's still unlocked, but fastboot commands won't work, I can only flash new recoveries, but no ROMs actually get flashed. I tried using the PDimg thing for HBOOT to get back into full stock, I followed all the rules about going to ext3 (can't remember off the top of my head). It won't see the image, I've tried everything out there. ADB won't see the device unless in recovery mode, fastboot won't work, except to flash new recoveries.
Any possible ideas?
After flashing a ROM you need to fastboot flash thr ROM zip's boot.img.
Even if it doesn't boot into the ROM? It should work?

No. I missed that. Can you fastboot flash a recovery? If not, you can try running a RUU.
Yeah I am able to flash a recovery via fast boot, but to actually do any other commands via fast boot it won't recognize anything. HBOOT won't see any .zips, tried everything.

I don't understand. Where are these zips? Computer or phone?
Phone. The .zips are like the pd98img things. Those don't read on my phone from HBOOT

Wait, if you have a working recovery, just flash a ROM (not PD98IMG) zip from the recovery (not fastboot). Download a custom ROM, full wipe in recovery, and flash in recovery.
Tried that. It seriously just sits there till the battery dies trying to turn on, doesn't pass the HTC white screen.

And then extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and fastboot flash boot boot.img.
I love you haha

I just bought this phone yesterday and it is the i9020t (AWS version). The phone function works fine but every so often every application fails and gives an error asking to report it. I cannot manage to change the screen lock, it just comes back after reset. I only managed to remove it once. Also I cannot reset it no matter what I do, whether it is from settings or from the recovery menu. All data seems impossible to remove. How is this happening?
So Far:
-I got the boot loader unlocked (does this mean it is rooted yet?), failed to install superboot.zip
-Got the adb setup with using only part of the sdk files
(http://esausilva.com/2010/10/02/how-to-set-up-adb-android-debug-bridge-in-mac-osx/)
Now I have tried this:

I can't get clockworkmod on here, I don't even know what it is exactly.
I believe I need to flash the phone onto stock firmware, the current seems corrupt as I can't do any changes such as password or wipe data.
More info on phone:
Android version: 2.3.4; Baseband version: I9020XXKD1; Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80 [email protected]#1; Build number: GRJ22;
BTW I am on Mac OS X but can access a PC if I really have to.
Anything else I need to provide?
Doesn't sound like an odd behaving phone, just that you weren't very prepared for the rooting process.
If your bootloader is unlocked you need to flash a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or twrp. To do this you will use the fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img after you have flashed the recovery you can either flash a new rom or flash the superuser.zip to achieve root on the stock rom.

It was a messed up phone. Returned it. Nothing would write onto sdcard. Which explains why it would not allow many functions that require data retention.
I've got a Sensation (I think its a Phillipenes issue) which was upgraded to ICS 4.0.3.
Basically I've managed to complete HTC Dev Unlock, then a few days later I lost Wi-Fi connection, so have been trying to continue with installing a Custom (or even the original) ROM in an attempt to fix it.
I've now done Junoptobear to get true S-OFF
Got root access
But cant get Clockwork Mod to install in Recovery...
I've installed ROMmanager Premium and used it to install the latest Clockwork Mod - it states its downloaded and completed but when I go to the bootloader and select Recovery it flashes the white HTC screen for a brief second then back to the bootloader.
I've tried to manually download the Clockwork Mod file and install to Recovery but I get the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?? Many thanks!
Hi there you can install 4ext recovery you can get the file here in xda or even from the play store. Many of us use 4ext because it has many options and is very easy to use.personally I prefer 4ext. All I did was download from the play store and opened the app follow directions choose version of recovery and it will flash from the application. I was already rooted and soff when I did it but it's very easy to do. I really think you will like 4 ext recovery. You already have s OFF and root so it should not be a problem. Best of luck to you. I hope this helps! As I mentioned most of us use 4 ext recovery and I doubt you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I may be wrong but this sorta sonuds like a problem abother member was having the other day. I think they may not have a eng Hboot installed. Question why not just let them flash the recovery using the PG58IMG.zip via bootloader?

ClockWork Mod now installed in Recovery!
i cannot boot phone into recovery nor can i boot phone normally... I had just installed Viper one S rom on my phone and rebooted into recovery because my wifi wasnt working , so i was just going to revert back to an old rom. After clicking reboot to recovery from Viper rom the screen just went white . I had to power it down manually, after powering it up it would stop at htc screen with the red development lines... tried to go into recovery and it will come up for a second then disapear then phone reboots.... any ideas? oh I also had installed Latest radio in CWM after installing rom.. I hear its buggy in CWM...
I had the same problem. Did you flash the boot.IMG in recovery or fastboot? If you flashed in recovery and its not supported by your hboot version. That could be the issue. Try re flashing the boot.IMG using fastboot. If you still cannot get it to work. I would try reinstalling a custom recovery manually and restarting the Rom flashing process. There are forums all over the place to help with that. Try twrp. Ps this is all assuming you are able to get into your boot loader.

Problem fixed. Don't ask me how lol. All I did was relock boot loader and flash stock ROM. Stock ROM would not load so I just decided to unlocked boot loader and phone rebooted fine. Recover works to.. crazy.

That happened to me when I didn't fast boot flash the boot.IMG file, but only the latest Viper has given me grief with that.

Do full wipe and the use the recovery to reboot back into it then flash rom without the wipe.

Wipe and try again... You got impatient the boot.IMG part takes a long time... Just start the flash and put your phone down... Leave it alone until its done...if you don't get an error it will finish just wait...

Yeah, dont interrupt the installer. It installs some other important stuff after the boot.img.
And yes, it takes a long time. If nothing has happened after 15min or so, then it might be something wrong.
For me, the boot.img part seems to take between 5 and 10min, depending on the weather outside, the alignment of the stars etc
Picked up an inspire 4g off of cl.Paid 20 for it because it had no battery. Put a batter in it and it boots to the htc screen, black screen, then reboots. Volume down was broken but I fixed it and am able to enter hboot. Phone had already been unlocked through htcdev. So I relocked it and ran the newest 3.20 RUU. It completed successfully and rebooted. However, it does the same thing. So I tried to factory reset it through bootloader. Again it just reboots and does the same thing. So I decided to try to htc dev unlock it and flash a custom recovery. Everything went smooth and recovery flashed. But when I select recovery in bootloader it does the same bootloop over again. Again I've tried using the latest RUU to no avail. Ive tried everything I know of to do. I'm out of ideas. It seems like a great phone and I really want to fix this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
If the bootloader is unlocked and you can flash a ROM, fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip and see if it works. Detailed instructions in my signature.

Unfortunately I can't enter recovery to flash a rom. It just reboots at the white screen. The only thing I was able to flash was the stock RUU. And it still didn't boot. I've also tried flashing recoveries but that doesn't work either. It flashes successfully but never boots into it.
