[Q] Boot-loop after flashing - Stuck at HTC screen - need help!

Hey guys, before I say something. I have really searched for help on the forum, although I clearly need help.
So I was trying to ROM the new Revelation rom and ended up in a bootloop where phone is restarting at HTC screen. I've flashed ROMs a several times with no problem whatsoever, until now.
I have 4Ext recovery and can access it without problems. Tried installing other ROMs as Cm10 with no luck.
At the time is says in bootloader.

I've tried installing the RUU 3.33.4, (which I believe is the right firmware for me, still nothing happens really, it loads in bootloader, nothing more).
Thank you very much for any help, I'd really appreciate it.

Folks, the surgery went well! I fixed it.
Was looking for every possible solution and found a guide! Finally got my lovely sensation back.
1. Put the firmware PG58IMG file in root (3.33.4 - since my fastboot told me so). Let it "flash".
2. Went inside 4Ext and removed the PG58IMG file.
2. Formated and wiped dalvik and cache.
3. With 4Ext smartflash turned on I flashed CM10.1 ROM.
4. Bootet back to bootloader in 4Ext, connected my device to adb and fastboot.
5. Copied the boot.img from the CM10.1 Rom-file and put it in the same folder as adb and fastboot.
6. Typed "fastboot flash boot boot.img", let it flash.
7. Reboot, phone back and feeling good!
Hope this helps for anyone who's stuck at HTC logo screen and has S-ON. Since the S-ON kind of prevented me from changing CID etc. I tried this, which worked successfully!

Even I had the same problem today.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349395
In short..the culprit was the boot.img.
It was not being flashed even after enabling smartflash in 4ext recovery.
So basically what I did was exract boot.img from the AndroidRevolution rom and flashed it via fastboot(fastboot flash boot boot.img).
And it worked!!
Try this and report.

@NickenA
You should probably remove your imei and serial number from OP.

You can still flash Revelation but since you are S-ON you may need to flash the boot.img separately like you posted in your solution. So, extract the boot.img from the ROM, flash the ROM then push boot.img to your phone afterwards, and before you know it you will be enjoying the smoothest Sensation possible!

I've been having the same problem, once again, after trying to flash Revelation (and yeah, I'm also 1.27 with S-ON) so this looks like it's definitely the common denominator. Even with SmartFlash in 4EXT, the boot.img doesn't seem to flash for any ROM after attempting to flash revelation - I even tried 3 others that I know used to work just fine. I was starting to get afraid that I may have softbricked my phone, but I'll go ahead and try flashing boot.img manually. Thanks
EDIT: Worked like a charm - only needed to do fastboot flash boot boot.img
The other method with the PG58IMG is going a little overboard, IMO

Jus flash the proper boot.img

No need to wipe/flash anything.. Most boot-loops with S-ON occur with wrong boot.img. Just use fastboot flash boot boot.img and you should be good to go.

I have the same problem... :/ (Not sure if I have to start a new thread)
I have flashed the Revelation ROM and after rebooting I'm stuck at HTC splash screen. Now after restoring my backup of my previously used CM10.1 ROM I'm stuck on splash screen too. I even tried to flash a clean CM10.1 ROM, but same problem
I'm S-OFF using hboot 1.29 and latest firmware.

It's really strange, I have never had that problem. I rewiped (except SD) and reflashed the ROMs many times, but still bootloop.
Even restoring my backup of my CM10.1 doesn't work :/
And fastboot doesn't work, because my bootloader is *** LOCKED ***

with locked bootloader you are restricted to fastboot commands
what to do is flash 3.33 universal from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
it will give you also a patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions carefully
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after that try with the command again

Yeah, I'm pretty sure since this is my only source for FW/hboot files.
I'm reflashing 3.33 universal now. Which hboot should I flash? (since the one in the thread is, I guess, only an 1.27 > 1.29 update package)

Stuck in bootloader

Hello everyone!
I've a problem.
I have an HTC One S(S3) with Unlocked Bootloader and S-ON.
Now I'm stuck in HTC logo(with some red words).
I can't run the Rom, I can't go in recovery(exclamation mark appear).
But I can go in bootloader.
So, I tried to install an RUU but the executable file return the [132] error(signature).
Have you a solution?
Thank you and sorry for bad english.
p.s.
this is my getvar output:

Someone correct me, but doesn't "INFOversion-bootloader: 2.15.0000" mean that the phone is an S4 model?

Hm, info product vle also sounds like s4.
But back on topic: What did you (try) to do?
Edit: Before you run the ruu?
Basic path I would follow:
* flash stock kernel
* flash stock recovery
If that doesn't work:
* flash custom recovery
* MAKE BACKUP
* SAVE BACKUP
* install stock or custom ROM
* restore data from backup

Did you locked before you runned RUU?
If not, try.
Look on your package of your phone on the backside, which model you have.
Z560e -> S3
Z520e -> S4
Did you updated to Jelly bean?
If yes, any RUU for S3 won't work!
Try to flash a custom recovery (please take twrp 2.3.x.x). It must work.
And then you must flash a custom Rom. Take Liberty Rom or Paranoid Android. And after you flashed the custom recovery, flash the boot.img, cause you are S-ON. If you can start your phone now, make a Backup in TWRP and save the backup on your PC.
If all of these Steps were succesfull, send me a PN. I will send you a Tutorial, made by @khan.orak, how to flash stock rom via OTA!
But first of all, try my beginning steps.
Good Luck, and pay attention: send us all of the error Logs. We need them!

Hey, i have exactly the same problem.
I got a S4 version, S-ON and stuck in the bootloader.
I have a TWRP 2.3.3 recovery and i can mount on my sdcard so i try to copy the last Liberty ROM just like you said.
Copy and installation were ok but when my phone is rebooting nothing appears except the HTC logo.
What am i doing wrong ?

Find a ROM for S4.
You're in the way to brick your Phone! DONT FLASH S3 roms!
Flash a S4 rom and flash boot.img/kernel of that rom. It'll flash fine and reboot fine then.

Exactly. It's an S4
I want kill the old owner. he said me that it's an S3 model. Why I had to doubt?
I'm sure it's an S4 model because the RUU S4 run good and complete the installation(same for a twrp for S4).
Now there is another problem. After I installed the RUU, it reboot continually.
Whats' worng? it maybe an Hardware problem? :crying:
In TWRP it doens't reboot but when "htcOne" logo appear, after a second it reboot again and again and again.

Thats a bootloop
I dont know how it is on a s4 model after RUU, but try to flash the kernel. Open the RUU setup via winrar or other programs.
I dont know exactly which zip you must open in the ruu but try to find the boot.img in the rom.zip/firmware.zip ...
I hope i can help you!

Hi everyone,
I have a similar problem. I am also in a bootloop. And due to Hboot 2.15 and the lack of a RUU supporting my phone (T-mobile branding CID T-MOB101) I can't get back to stock. Unfortunately I can't get into any recovery, neither twrp, cmw nor stock recovery. I've flashed several twrp versions a couple of times but always when I select recovery in the bootloader the phone returned into the bootloop. After flashing the custom recovery I also used "fastboot erase cache" and flashed the boot.img.
Does anyone know how I can get TWRP or CWM up and running in order to be able to flash a custom rom?
Thank you in advance.

I have the same model and I had no trouble flashing CWM or TWRP. Currently I have the latest CWM.
On www.cyanogenmod.org there is a good tutorial on how to install CM on the Ville with TWRP.
Can you factory reset? Or erase storage?

You need the old firmware like you had before you updated to Maximus.
Run a RUU.exe and clear storage/factory reset in bootloader when you have the stock recovery back on.
From your other thread I posted more details

I've never changed my CID, no need to. So I'm not an expert.
But from what I have read here:
"You can use any ruu while s-OFF, just simply plug phone to computer and run ruu. No need to relock bootloader.
For the supercid, it is recommended to change it back to original with fastboot command.
Fastboot oem write cid xxxxxxxx.
There has been a few bricks takin Jb ota while still supercid. "
So, not a problem, unless you install a OTA (over the air) update while SuperCid.
Here's a good guide from another forum
http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/691874-guide-how-run-ruu-your-htc-one-s.html
Glancing at that, I noticed it recommends running the RUU on the PC as administrator, maybe it's something simple like that.

When trying the RUU did you go to bootloader (fastboot USB)?
To Unlock
Locate your Unlock_code.bin on your pc, probably saved it somewhere or it is still in your fastboot folder.
Type this into your command prompt window fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
or go through the process of getting a new one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427

Oh yeah, I've also read from someone that they got error 155 then they flashed stock recovery and relocked bootloader and then RUU proceeded to work.

Glad you were able to get the RUU working. But right now you won't be able to flash many ROMs with that low of a Hboot. You will need to update the firmware.
Since you put your CID back, you would have to put back stock recovery and relock bootloader. Then you could go through settings and do the OTA to update to 2.15 hboot.
Or...this firmware update thread

There is a stock recovery here
http://www.modaco.com/topic/353006-...ch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/
The SECOND download is the stock one
Unless you change the name of the recovery the command will probably look more like this:
fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img
And yes
fastboot oem lock
after you have flashed the stock recovery of course

Eh.. It is stable besides for some bootlooping. Like you start it up and it bootloops a few times before finally loading. I like the Avatar Rom which is CM 10.2 based, and noticed a little bootlooping. But it wasn't terrible, just something that happened a few times.
So if that doesn't bother you, go for it. Other than that you would need to stick with sense based roms for stability.
Gosh, so many to choose from you will have to try some out.

Ya, guess you are right, 10.1
You can flash any as long as they don't require hboot 2.16 (which they state in the first page OP)

[Q] Wi-Fi and Bluetooth error :(

Hi everyone, i'm new at this forum and i have very strange problem with my HTC Sensation.
My friend bought this phone, everything was ok. He unlocked bootloader with HTCdev, flashed CWM and some CM10.1 ROM (and Gapps). Wifi and Bluetooth stopped working. In settings, the switches at wifi and bluetooth was gray. If i open wifi, there was something like "Turning on..." (bluetooth was the same).
Then he gave this phone to me. I wanted to solve this problem. I flashed many ROMs, for example this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073 . I tried Wifix, not working. I flashed 4EXTRecovery and tried SmartFlash. I tried flash stock ICS ROM (about 400MB zip), still not working. Then i successful do S-OFF by Juopunut. I have HBOOT-1.27.1111, RADIO-11.25A-3504.13_M.
Please, can anyone help me? :crying:

now it makes sense
that's why you bricked your device before
never use the writesecureflag command before using any ruu.exe
you should know that

just keep the S-OFF status

HTC ONE SV Request/Help

Hi,
I have an HTC ONE SV and i tried to flash a stock rom but i haven't any experience with it, and now my device is stucked in boot loading screen.
For what i understand i can install a new stock rom with fastboot because also my recovery mode is corrupted and factory reset as well because when i try to enter it remains in "Loading Recovery Mode boot screen". Could someone help me with a fix and a stock rom for:
K2_UL XC SHIP S-OFF RH
CID - 11111111
HBOOT- 2.19.0000
RADIO - 1.15.49a.00.07
Also i have S-Off as you can see from above and Bootloader Unlocked.
Thanks,
I hope that someone can help me.

What stock Rom did you chose?

Not so fast, before you tell people to use a RUU, tell them also, how to use. Otherwise people could be lost.

I think it could be solved without RUU.
It seems (because of your hboot), you had already the update to Android 4.2.2? Can you tell us which software you were running? Or if you are using an european k2ul? Or any other information could be important.
Please try to use/flash this recovery for flashing a rom:

I don't really know if i had the update to Anroid 4.2.2 in Fast Boot Menu it sais OS-3.03.401.1? does that help you? and i think it's an european k2ul. After i flash this recovery image? what do i do next? i mean i want to revert the phone to stock but like i said the Recovery menu dosn't load is there any way to flash the recovery image and then install a stock rom through flasboot commands? i have found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112 and it sais that it's possible but i didn't have the recovery image, now i do but i'm still missing a stock rom that would work with my device.

You had an older recovery, which don't work with your hboot.
Flash the recovery i have linked for you with fastboot, then you should be able to enter recovery.
From recovery you can flash the k2ul_4.2.2_3.11.401.1_stock_odexed_v3.zip from here. It's a stock rom, with the same software number as you have had.

Hi,
The phone now boots into recovery so i'm on the right track thanks to you, but i don't know how to flash the stock rom? what do i need to do? i put the stock on a sd card and plug it in through an external cable and a card reader but i don't seem to find where is the file? Do i need to flash the boot.img from the zip file too? or rename the zip file somehow in the sd card?

You have to flash it from recovery.
First go (in recovery) to "Wipe"-> "Advanced Wipe" and wipe everything but sd card and internal sd card.
Put the rom on your sd card, choose "Install" and navigate to the k2ul_4.2.2_3.11.401.1_stock_odexed_v3.zip.
Choose it and confirm with"Swipe to flash".
As you are S-off, you usually don't need to flash boot.img afterwards.
When flashing is done, Reboot.
Wait some minutes, first boot takes some time.

It fails to wipe with this error: E:Unable to mount internal storage. do i need to place the sd card inside the phone?

Hmmm, strange. Yes, put your sd card into your phone. If the rom is there, you can't find it, if its not in the phone.
Go on and try to flash.

Connect your phone with fastboot and type into the cmd:

Ok, i see what i wanted to see.
Because the rom will not flash, you should really try to flash the RUU.
To do that, you need to downgrade your hboot.
Please read and follow this guide, to downgrade hboot and flash the RUU afterwards.
