Hi,
I tried looking at other threads that have similar problems, but the problem is i am still unsure what is causing my problem, so i don't know what will help.
This morning, i installed the new ViperOneS Rom, and i followed all the instructions that they provided. But now my phone will only boot to the HTC splash screen and then immediately shut off. When I try to power it back on, the back,home,and settings buttons will flash until i let go of the power button.
I cannot access anything on my phone; i cant boot into recovery or hboot as far as i know.
Please help if you can
Thanks
Then your phone is on...keep holding while they flash until it shuts off, then hold volume down, while holding, press power once, keep holding volume down until you see boot loader

Thank you very much. But what do i do now? I can now get into recovery, but is there something wrong with install? Do i need to reinstall the ROM?
I am also having difficulty flashing the boot.img file. when i use the .bat file to flash in fastboot mode, it freezes my phone.
Any additional help would be very appreciated.
Thanks

Make sure that you can mount your SD card in Recovery. If you can then you should wipe everything 3 times(System, Cache, everything) then repeat the steps to install the ROM from scratch. Also make sure you are using the correct version for your phone processor. S3 or S4 version

I am unable to mount the sdcard. When I go into the mount menu in CWM and press mount /sdcard, it gives me an error and tells me i cannot mount the card. I did format /data, /system, /cache, but without access to the sdcard, i cannot access the ROM to reinstall.

Then you need the HTC drivers on your PC. Check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
So it all works now. I had a friend help me reinstall CM on my phone.
The problem was that I could not access the phone internal storage at all. That meant that i could not mount the sdcard in recovery or even backup or restore anything i had done.
The way we fixed the problem was to run the RUU and restore it back to stock and then re-root it. This turned out to work and now my phone is working properly again.
Thanks for all your help.

That's great!!! Make sure to keep the RUU handy and the HTC sync drivers. You never know when something could go wrong. Also make sure to keep frequent backups

I was using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019 to unlock, install CWM, and then root. Unlocking was fine, installing that version of CWM seemed okay, but when I enter command "fastboot reboot", then hold down the volume - button after 3 seconds of the Moto logo showing, then pressing the volume + key, I get only 1 option....-->Android Recovery. I press the Volume + key, get "Entering Android Recovery Mode", and below that "Reading ODM Fuse 1", then the screen switches to an android with a yellow hazard sign in his tummy.
From that screen, if I press Volume + and power, I see:
Android system recovery <3e>
Use volume keys to highlight; power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from USB drive
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I don't get a choice to apply something from the microSD card I have installed with the WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip I put on the card.
Has anyone had this happen? I can't ask in the development forum. I also just got the Xoom back from a repair, and it was wiped to stock, then I did the 3.1 update when I got it back this morning. Is the fuse thing something they may have done to block rooting?
Have you tried reformat your sd card?

I reformatted my sd card, but I still can't get CWM to work and boot into recovery. Same message-

Entering Android Recovery Mode
Reading ODM fuse: 1
And that's it....no options to load the root zip from an SD card or anything. Is there a way to push root without using the SD card? Or is that ODM fuse thing making it impossible?

Nothing at all to do with CWM.
OP: Try flashing the recovery again. To get into recovery, type adb reboot recovery, or use an app such as Quick Boot.
Edit: You can't use CWM to root, you need to do that first.

I have to root first? I'm not sure how to do it....can't find any other methods of rooting 3.1....everything on Google just points me to the same method, using the SD card that won't work cuz I can't boot into recovery. Ugh.
Hey jump hour PM me.
Hey guys,
I called JumpHour and we tried to troubleshoot this over the phone. We aren't able to get into the recovery because of error "reading odm fuse: 1". The OP is using Windows 7 64 BIT and has the SDK installed properly. He updated the sources and installed them so those are up to date. We also verified that USB debugging was enabled and that the correct files were in the tools section in the SDK folder.
We ran the commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot-recovery ........ (we typed it in correctly accoriding the thread)
fastboot reboot
and we get that error message.
This was all initiated while the Xoom was powered on. JumpHour stated that he had to send his Xoom back to Moto because his Xoom got messed up during the re-locking process when he unrooted a one click root and re-locked.
We then went ahead and downloaded the recovery image again and replace the one in the tools folder. We ran the commands again and we were getting the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this process? Are we missing something? Is something broken?
Get the official images. I am assuming you have a USA 3g or wifi model.
Follow the steps to return the device to stock. But do not issue the reclock bootloader command. There is no need to relock.
From there power up the device and turn on USB debugging.
Then adb reboot into recovery. That should bring you to the stock recovery.
If all goes well from here just do what ever else you where intending to do in the first place.
You most likely can just flash the stock recovery but I would just do a full flash back to official images minus relocking bootloader.

Then let the ota update it to 3.1 and so on.

What's the status JumpHour? Did you get it to work. I told you it may have been due to the images. Hopefully that fixes your issue. Take care dude.

Hi, thanks for the response. I'm gonna try it now. I was up REALLY late last night, and just got up a little while ago. I'll definately respond after I try it out.
Finally, I did it!
Okay, I fixed it finally. Reloaded the stock images, and it's now rooted with SD support. Yay! Only took 2 days!
Thanks for all your help guys.
Can reflashing with original images fix recovery mode mount problem?
Does any window is flashing to the original images can restore access to the sdcard IF the recovery mode in the official recovery mode (not CWM) says that you cannot mount the sdcard?
Hope some 1 can help me here.

Yes your phone is dead and you are ****ed!!!!
No actually next you do is remove the PG58IMG.zip from your sdcard otherwise it will keep asking to install it.
Than again vdown power than you chose the second option Recovery > there you see backup do a nandroid backup first. After that download a ROM of your choice. It will come as rom.101.blabla.zip you copy that anywhere on your SD card. You can mount the USB in recovery via the mount option and than the last one is USB. And than do the 2 wipes you see data and cache do them both. After that go to install > and install the zip. After that reboot and you can remove the rom rom.101.blabla.zip after it's booted.
Enjoy

You are welcome
Doing this the first time can be very confusing.
After seeing this issue quite a few times this past week I thought I make a tutorial on how to possibly fix this. If any of you see any errors or any way to improve this guide please let me know and ill include it and or adjust accordingly
Note-Make sure you have plenty of battery. You don’t want your phone dying in the middle of flashing a PD98IMG
If you are stuck in Hboot and have S-On or don't have access to an adapter go straight to Alternate method at the end
Rename to PD98IMG
Recovery: http://1drv.ms/1ke30zE
Inspire 4g pre-rooted Rom: http://db.tt/DCU3oW39 (only use if you have S-off)-
Inspire 4g stock Rom: http://1drv.ms/1ke3ohy
Telus DHD Rom: http://min.us/mTqXM8fTY
Reinstalling Recovery
For whatever reason you have wiped your custom recovery (My guess is you did a factory reset, thus erasing it). Personally I would try this first as one can go straight to a custom rom. If you don't want a custom rom feel free to go to the next section.
1) Back up anything you don’t want deleted from your sd card
2) Plug in sd card into computer through an adapter of some kind or another phone
3) Reformat the Sd Card to Fat32 – Do a full reformat not a quick
4) Once reformat is complete place the file downloaded from the first link on the sd card
5) Eject the sd card from computer and insert into phone
6) Power off phone by pulling the battery
7) Reinsert the battery
8) Boot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power button
9) It will scan for the file press volume up to accept update
10) It will ask you to reboot- you will still be stuck which is normal-
11) If everything is going to plan you now have access to recovery. So now we need to flash a rom. (Remember to delete the pd98 as it will prevent you from going into recovery)Skip down to the flashing rom section if you don’t know how to. If flashing the recovery didn't work continue to the next section
Reinstalling Recovery With No Card Reader
1) Download recovery above and place it in your fastboot directory
2) Boot into Hboot
3) Connect your phone to your PC
4) Select fastboot
5) Open up command prompt and CD to your Fastboot directory
6) Run the command fastboot erase cache
7) After the OK run fastboot oem rebootRUU
8) You'll see a new screen with HTC logo and a progress bar. here you need to run fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip
9) Once it completes (should say ok,finished, or complete) run fastboot reboot bootloader
10) Go into Recovery and flash a rom
Flashing a Stock Rom
Note- If you have S-Off i recommend flashing the prerooted version
1) If coming from previous section plug in sd card and delete old file then Jump to step 5
2) Back up anything you don’t want deleted from your sd card
3) Plug in sd card into computer through an adapter of some kind or another phone
4) Reformat the Sd Card to Fat32 – Do a full reformat not a quick
5) Once reformat is complete place the stock rom on the sd card
6) Eject the sd card from computer and insert into phone
7) Power off phone by pulling the battery
8) Reinsert the battery
9) Boot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power button
10) It will scan for the file press volume up to accept update
11) If everything is going to plan you now should have a fully working phone
12) At this point you are un-rooted so if you want re-root I recommend using the ace hack kit. (unless you used a pre-rooted stock rom then no need to use hack kit)
NOTE- IF EITHER FLASHING THE STOCK ROM OR RECOVERY PD98 FILES HAVE NOT WORKED REPEAT PROCEDURE WITH A DIFFERENT SD CARD
Flashing a Rom
1) So we were able to re-flash a custom recovery. Connect sd card to computer and delete the PD98img file
2) Download the rom of your choice and any super wipe zips if your rom needs it
3) Place file on sd card eject and reinsert onto phone
4) Boot in bootloader.
5) This time it will scan and not find any files. After it scans scroll down and select recovery.
6) You should now be in CWR. Do a full wipe (wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache-found in advanced I think
a. If recommended by your rom uses a super wipe zip. Simply choose install from sd card in CWR and select the super wipe zip
7) Now flash the rom by selecting install from sd card and choosing rom
Alternate-Flashing of RUU
This is for those that don’t have access to an adapter to place files with. This should work whether your S-on or S-Off
RUU’s: http://goo.im/ruu/ace
1) Download your RUU from above
2) Boot into Hboot
3) Connect your phone to your PC
4) Select fastboot
5) Run the RUU program

First, confirm that you can boot into Hboot. If you can, then try Gene Pole's method, but you need a SD Card reader in order to put the zip file in the card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16451214&postcount=1
Otherwise you can try to boot in recovery selecting it from Hboot menu and try to flash other rom.
Hope it helps....

I can not boot into Hboot...because when I tries flashing with RUU flasher..it gave me error and now I am stuck on hTc logo screen. I have to pull battery out to get out of that screen and when I plug in to computer of just turn on same htc screen with "triangle mark" in all four corners...I am so frustrated..Please hlep
Don't plug in phone. Pull the battery, reinsert and quickly press and hold the volume down and power button? What happened then?
Same htc screen with 4 triangles in corners.
Well don't panic.its only a phone I haven't seen an error 152, so I got look up what that means. You also mentioned that the you flashed the ruu several times? Did it ever complete or always errored out?
Edit- when you first tried the ruu were you ever able to enter hboot to begin with?

Don´t use the Flasher...use the cell straight foward....if you cant go into Hboot then try to boot in fastboot,....
plug to AC and keep pressing power...the led will turn red and green and then boot in fastboot. From there you might be able to use the hack kit to revert to stock.
If that is not working try to contact Gene Pole or Attn1 in the irc channel....he might help you better that I.

Hello all, have an HTC Inspire s-off h-b00t 0.85.0007. When the phone powers up, the bootloader is the only screen that comes up and is frozen. Cant use volume control or power button.
When you power it up is it booting straight into hboot? If so sounds like your volume button is stuck
Booting straight in to Hboot. He apparently did a factory reset, and when it rebooted it locked up. Cant get past step 12 of parsing the zip file for PD98IMG.zip on the root of the SD card (tried 2 2gbs, 1 1gb, and 1 8gb). 3 of the SD cards would only get to step 4 and freeze.
hboot 0.85.0007
s-off
Attached a couple of pictures, the first was from the rooted.zip and the second was from the non rooted.zip. I also attempted the recovery.zip (all named PD98IMG.zip)

the fact is that if you are rooted then a factory reset erases everything from your phone!! you get stuck if you don't flash other rom. If the volumen rocker is broken then you will boot always in hboot...don't actually know how the wipe happened but....did you have a PD98IMG.zip file in your sdcard??...that might explain it better...

Hmm, you should try to flahs it back to official firmware, or try to get to enable storage via cmw menu, if that doesnt work, just flash it back

You need to flash the boot.img of the ROM that is why the device will not boot into the OS. You can either use fastboot commands or flash 4 EXT Recovery and use the Smart Flash in it. Download this PG58IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card, you can put his SD card in your Sensation and download the file to the SD card. Jusgt make sure you move it to the root of the SD card. Then put the SD card in his Sensation and power the device on holding the volume down button down. When Hboot comes up it will detect the file and ask you if you want to flash it, press the volume up button and let it flash. Then take the SD card out of the device and press the power button to reboot the device. Next put the SD card with the ROM in the device and select recovery. When 4 EXT Recovery boots up select tools and then enable Smart Flash and then go back to the main menu and select install from sdcard thenn select choose zip fromsdcard and then select the ROM. Press yes and let the ROM flash and then reboot the device. It will flash the boot.img when it reboots and then reboot again and you should have a working device again.
I dont have a rom on the phone...that I know of...where can i get the stock one at?...really confused here, also i did the above file Pg58img and it said cid incorrect..update fail...where can i get the 4ext recovery?..ty so much!!!!!
I did some searching and found that the 4ext is an apk...cant use that as I have no useable phone....
I fixed it, had to push the correct firmware to phone, and installed ext4 recovery, and it worked fine...thanks for the help
Hello, I've recently completed the Bootloader unlocking method with Easy Ace Root Tool. Bootloader is unlocked and SHIP S-ON, I need to flash a rom. These roms require S-OFF and have no method to flash them with only an unlocked bootloader and S-ON.
So let me get this straight, us 'low level' and unexperienced users are left without any method to gain S-OFF privileges without following the vague guide provided at tau(dot)shadowchild(dot)nl/attn1/?p=411 Yeah... I can't.
Trying to find alternate methods I have only gone in circles and keep running into old how-to guides. The more I read the more confused I become. I hope someone can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Ninjewbag
You don't need S-Off. Flash a ROM in recovery, then flash the ROM zip's boot.img in fastboot.

Good deal, thanks for the reply!
I put the ROM Android Revolution HD 9.0 on the root of my SD card, booted in recovery mode and chose the recovery option, I got the red exclamation mark icon so I pressed VOL up + power button which didn't work so I pulled the battery. I tried all above steps again but this time I was able to successfully get into "Android system recovery <3e> with VOL up + power button. With 4 options:
Reboot system now
Apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I chose the option to wipe all data, said it could not find Efolder name)'s and "data wipe completed successfully".
Then I wiped cache, then chose the option to apply update from sdcard, it said "Invalid operation" then "success rebooting by reason 00" and proceeded to reboot by itself.
Phone factory reset, I rebooted into recovery again with the same red exclamation mark error. Pressed Vol up + power and back into "Android system recovery". At the bottom in yellow text it says "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command". I tried another "update from SD card" and recieved error: "success rebooting by reason 00" and reboots.
I don't have a nandroid backup as I read I needed Root to make one, but the phone still works fine as far as I can tell. I don't have a working simcard in it though.
Also from what I've read my eMMC chip may be fried so it looks like I'm retiring early. I'll keep an eye on this thread among others with the same problems.
Cheers,

Volume + and power brings you to the factory recovery; you need to use vol - have you flashed a different recovery? If not, flash 4ext recovery through fast boot and try again

Thank you for the info! No luck finding the 4ext .IMG file anywhere yet, they're all dead links. I have the 4ext recovery.APK but that doesn't do me any good since I don't have root. Still looking and thanks again.

You can install the app and then open the app and use it to manually download the recovery zip which you can flash or copy it to your pc and extract the recovery.img file and flash with fastboot. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself wiht the adb and fastboot utils as they come in handy.

Thanks for the reply but as for installing the 4ext free updater version, it wasn't on the market so I used android injector to place and install that APK. None of the options worked as they all give the same error "it seems your phone is not rooted, this option will not function" etc.

Nice! Wasn't expecting to find the 4ext recovery within the adbfastboot.zip. With that I was able to move on, create a nandroid and successfully install a custom rom, thanks! Was a little scared after rebooting, it took around 5 minutes to load past the "quietly brilliant" screen but is working fine now nonetheless.
