hi guys, ill try and keep it as brief as poss.
Phone was rooted working fine, dropped the phone and cracked the screen so sent for repair. Repair shop returned it back to stock :/
Left phone stock and working fine for a couple of months, accidentally let phone fully discharge and think it damaged the battery. Bought a new battery but the phone just boot loops. Can get into Hboot but when i choose recovery it just starts boot looping again. In a panic i flashed a 3.33 firmware but made no difference. Can someone give me a step by step how to sort? thanks!!
Phone says :
-firmware- 3.33-
pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
hboot 1.27.1100
emmc-boot
Im guessing its also locked because when i do the oem lock in command prompt its saying device is locked. cheers all.

If i connect fastboot-usb and use the command prompt to flash a recovery i get (error-partition doesnt exist!!)
Can i put any recovery on the sd card and somehow load it without using the recovery option?

Thanks mile_zdr. My Bad. Looks like it wrote ok (writing "recovery" ... OKAY) when i reboot and choose recovery option it still boot loops. :/ maybe im flashing the wrong recovery? Should any sensation recovery work?

since you are on S-OFF change your cid to supercid and choose any ruu you want
also remove your imei and serial number
don't show them in public

Thats a very good question rzr86 I think i have found the right ruu but i could only find one with a firmware base of 1.73 and my phone is currently 3.33. does it matter or will have to somehow downgrade my firmware to match the ruu?

Hey all,
I used the 3.24.401.1 RUU and then flashed arhd 6.2.1. Running great, and love ICS...but I would like to get fastboot commands back so I can SuperCID and do other things, such as flash to Mike's custom firmware/other future firmwares more easily.
How do I get back fastboot on the RUU firmware? I had thought I could just use the old 1.17 unlocked bootloader but luckily I checked and found out that it's incompatible and would make my device unbootable with the current firmware, so that isn't an option.
Hmm....
P.S. CID Getter says my CID is: HTC_621
Edit: should I just use the link called "HTC2" at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154 and download the unlocked one?

maybe my old rom didnt work cause it noticed a different bootloader and just...didnt want to boot. does anyone know? it seems like what i tried to do should have worked (just basically switch out stock 3.24 for mikes unlocked 3.24)
i still cannot for the life of me get into bootloader/recovery via power+downvol. any ideas anyone?

Hi,
Have you got your ROM up and running?
Can you use the volume rocker in the ROM to adjust the sound?
hey, still 20 mins left on my ARHD download... hope it works ok. volume rocker works fine if i do adb reboot bootloader, i am able to move up and down. it seems like the firmware flash went fine, still can do everything in recovery. im ready to flash arhd soon as its done downloading, then we'll see if it boots and if i can once again enter bootloader using vol- so weird...
btw the bootloop is very fast. it goes to the first HTC screen, then just for a few seconds to the 2nd screen with the "quietly brilliant", then it just resets itself. (that was what it did before i super wiped, anyway. oh and i also restored from a backup once as well, to no avail.)

-= NOTE =-
Your probably get into a bootloop after flashing teh 3.24 firmware.
Two way to get into your recovery.
1. Open the cmd and type adb reboot recovery
2.remove your sd and delete the firmware image and reboot into the bootloader and select recovery
this seems relevant..
Hi all,
I hope one of you masterminds is able to help me out.
I tried to root my sensation without s-off with hecdev.com (using One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0) and then tried to install cm9 from one the links here via revcovery with CWM 5.8.0.9.
But then I was stuck with the loading animation...
I cannot run Android now, so I cannot flash a stock RUU.
I can enter bootloader, which seems to be unlocked, here's the info:
"Unlocked"

I was on the latest official ROM (ICS, via OTA) before trying that.
I have not succeeded in flashing a ROM anymore.
Do I need to get S-Off first?
Or is HBOOT to new? Do I have to revert? How?
I tried older HBOOT, but it wouldn'T do anything after PArsing
Please help, any hint is appreciated =/
PS: I would be more than happy to have a stock rom again...as mentioned, cannot use a ruu.exe file, as it seems fastboot usb ist not recognizable by ruu.exe
Edit: After the 4th or 5th try, RUU recognized the phone when in fastboot usb mode, but update fdailed, cwm saif "security fail" ... sigh, seems I really blew it this time

Hi,
Start again using THIS GUIDE
Flash the boot.img from your ROM through fastboot.
Extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Be sure to use the boot.img from your ROM.
Then make a clean install of the ROM again.
Also, read that thread for the sake of understanding what you're doing.
There is NO need yet to flash an RUU.
Latest OTA comes with hboot 1.29 which is locked.
You might not be in the latest one, perhaps start with an RUU with.the latest fw (3.33).

thanks malybru & kgs1992 - tried that, and the 4ext touch recoery said both superwipe and the rom installed correctly.
but when rebooting the white screen with the green htc logo appears right away and nothing more happens...any idea? I may have messed up the kernel before, but when asked by ext4 recovery whether to flash a kernel, tried both custom and stock, none changed the problem with booting up
@Raven2k: Manually installing boot.img with fastbok seemed to help, at least I come over the white screen, am stuck with the beatsaudio logo right now - thanks so far =)

I know this seems to be a common problem, and that I might have found a solution by searching, but I have looked high and low and can not fix my problem.
HTC Inspire 4g from ATT, it was unlocked when I got it. I used EasyAceRoot to attempt to root it (which I believe I did because I used SU successfully). Seems like everything went well but then I tried to install a custom rom and I have had the white screen ever since. I have tried using an RUU at hboot to restore, but I keep getting different errors, most recently it is error 140. I have also tried loading a PD98IMG with different SD cards to no avail. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks a ton.

I don't understand. Why do you need to boot it up to unlock it from fastboot? Your bootloader says relocked. Just unlock it the same way you did it the first time around.
Hey i have kind of the same problem, im tired of try and try to fix it, i think this is the last thing i will do.
Ok i can enter to the bootloader, and also to the recovery, but! when i flash a rom it cant boot on ! i got stucked after the HTC Logo. Also tried to to flash PD98IMG from hboot without succes and the same thing with RUU, in HBOOT the RUU software says that my battery is 30% or less and i have to chargue it, but is full! so have to enter in fastboot mode and it pass that step charguing the ruu but then it send an error that the image restore from ruu cant be completed.
so how do i flash the boot.img from the ROM zip in fastboot?
Btw: S-on AND unlocked bootloader

I already replied to you in the other thread. Please, do not double post your issues otherwise people will be replying the same many times. Ask the mods to remove one of your posts.
It definitely sounds like you need to unlock your bootloader and go into fastboot to flash your boot.img. Hopefully you have a nandroid of the working rom. If you can get into recovery, wipe and restore your nandroid, then fastboot flash the nandroids boot.img. Good luck. Once you get things working, search and get S-Off so flashing roms are easier. I just got S-OFF on my inspire today.

What recovery and version?
S-off or S-on. If S-on, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM package, and flash using fastboot every time you flash a ROM.
And searching would have found this answer, there are hundreds of threads detailing this.

You should not be flashing anything, if you don't even know what recovery you've installed. Boot into recovery, does it say TEAMWIN when recovery starts up? If so, it will say what version number at the top of the menu screen.

The vague description of what you did either means:
1) You are too lazy to tell us exactly what steps you did. Which makes it hard to help, since we need as much information as possible, or
2) You don't actually remember what you did, which is disturbing. It suggests a poor understanding of what you are doing, and/or trying things in hurry, without keeping track of what you did.
You need to tell us in detail, step by step what you have tried to this point.
You've likely messed up recovery by doing something you shouldn't have. I tend to agree with timmaaa to just return to stock until you have a better understanding of what you are doing.
Thank you

i can't find one for your firmware version
AFAIK there doesn't exist an ics ruu.exe for south korea
if you are on S-ON you can use something being called goldcard to bypass the security and use the gb ruu.exe
if you are on S-OFF change your cid to supercid and use whatever ruu.exe you want
