[SOLVED] Plz help: my phone can't boot now

Dear all, I need your help ASAP.
My phone (rooted) doesn't boot now, adb does not recognizes, fastboot still ok. And I don't know what to do.
Recently I rooted my Desire S and succeeded with the stock ROM. After a coupe of days I dicided to flash Endymion, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310845
I downloaded Endymion 3.1 into SD, then used Rom Manager to flash it. But then it was not be able to reboot (stucked on splash screen).
After that I rebooted into recovery (4EXT) and formated system, data, cache, boot and retried to install Endymion 3.1.
But then it became worse, now I can't use adb (always says: device not found), normal boots always stucks at splash screen (with green "HTC"). No hard button can be used, I need to reboot by take off the battery, then put it back on.
fastboot still seems working fine if I reboot to fastboot mode, but when I try "fastboot erase ...", I get "remote: not allowed". But other commands (fastboot flash...) still ok.
4EXT recovery is also still working.
Please help me to install some ROM at least. A lot of thanks.

Not quite sure, but could it be a faulty eMMC chip? Since you did mention you pulled out the battery.

I did have a similar problem before myself.

So can you get into the boot loader? I'm assuming so since u got into fast boot. I would try flashing an update.zip through there, such as a stock from containing recovery.img,system.img...etc.

Thank you for replies.
@microlah: I think my problem is not eMMC because I did not get those errors.
@stumpyz9: Before trying to flash Endymion 3.1, I made a backup of the rooted Sense 3.0 through Rom Manager -> a collection of *.img files.
I have tried to boot into fastboot, and executed these commands:
fastboot erase boot -> Error: remote not allowed
fastboot erase recovery -> Error: remote not allowed
fastboot flash system system.img -> OK
fastboot flash boot boot.img -> OK
fastboot flash userdata data.img -> OK
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -> OK
but after this, the phone still does not boot normally.
Please tell me if I did something wrong or not. I dont know how to make update.zip from *.img files, and dont know where to get and choose the right stock rom for my phone.

Are you S-OFF or htcdev unlocked ? If you're still S-on you have to manually flash boot.img with fastboot to get Endymion or others custom roms working.

No font flash the backup .imgs flash a whole update zip through the boot loader. Use a stock rom that contains a bunch of .imgs. reflashing the ones u already have won't help

Are you on hboot 2.00.002? If yes, did you flash the boot.img from Endymion via fastboot??
Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

I used htcdev to unlock, it's still S-ON and HBOOT 2.00.002.
I did not flash boot.img of Endymion. Can I do that with "fastboot flash..." ?
Does it matter if "fastboot erase boot" makes error? (as I posted above)
Could you give me instructions step-by-step what I need to do, thank you.

hi all,
i have some problem like a d_t_kien (i have htcdev unlock dev. and HBOOT 2.00.002, 4EXT Recovery).... so after flash ROM (i try Reaper V2.0 - CM7mod) device has freeze on white HTC screen....
Please help us... how correctly flash Endymion ROM via fastboost..
Thanks

For both of you, here's the procedure. First, flash the ROM normally. Then, enter fastboot mode and flash the boot.img that came in the ZIP of your ROM.

i flashed boot.img of new svhd rom 2.0.0 and i flash it through HTC Desire S All In One Kit . please help

Try flashing it manual without using the toolkit.
First you would need an adb and fastboot setup.
Open the rom (.zip file) you downloaded and put the ''boot.img'' file in ''C:\android-tools''.
Make a nandroid backup
Full wipe(except sd)
Flash rom
Select reboot into fastboot
Flash the boot.img manual by :
- Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do make sure you're in fastboot and not the other.
After it's successfully installed, turn of your phone and just boot normally. It may take a while for your phone to boot up.

[Q] boot loop after twrp recovery flash

Hi, I tried to root and ended up with boot loop (HTC screen).
My steps:
-unlocked bootloader (OK)
-in cmd executed: fastboot flash recovery using TWRP 2.6.0.0.img (OK)

Any advice? Do I need to flash back to stock recovery? Where can I download it? The attached is my software version. I would like to start my mobile only. I don't care about root at this stage. thanks for your help.

Hi,
you should erase cache (fastboot erase cache). Then try to start recovery directly from phone cause Fastboot boot will only start an
boot Image not recovery.

You might have a corrupted download. Try verifiying the MD5 hashes and if they don't match re-download/flash it.

[Q]Htc sensation Z710e help with corrupted recovery

Hello everyone,
I am a new htc sensation user and I recently rooted it using the traditional method and have been installing roms since then.
However, recently when I was installing CarbonRom Kitkat 4.4.3, the ClockWork Mod recovery told me that I cannot flash the rom ( I don't know for what reason). I thought it was something to do with my recovery. So I decided to flash 4EXT touch recovery but as I have S-on, even after giving the command through fastboot for erasing recovery and all the partitions "fastboot -w" , the command prompt gave me this error " remote access not allowed". So I thought of going on with the flashing and flashed the 4EXT recovery image through fastboot. But when I tried to boot into recovery , the phone was just stuck on the htc white screen.
As I did not erase the recovery and flashed a new recovery, i think that I have overlapped the two recoveries and have corrupted them. Now, my phone boots only into the bootloader and I also have s-on. Can anyone please tell me how to install the stock rom (as I would like to revert back to the original rom) through bootloader and fastboot? i heard about the PG58IMG method but will it work on s-on? Please help me out.

Hi, im guessing u already have recovery.img in ur fastboot folder so try this command from fastboot
fastboot boot recovery.img
Hopefully that will get u there so u can flash a rom but u will have to download 4ext recovery updater app once phone is booted to flash recovery coz doing above command only boots recovery, doesnt flash it. It works on desire s and desire so it should work for sensation too (hopefully)

So this means that I should first flash the recovery and then boot it using the command
fastboot boot recovery.img
?? or should I just boot it up using the command . And is there anyway to give any master commands like erase a partition while on s-on? And which recovery do u prefer CWM or 4EXT?

since you are on S-ON go for 4ext

That is actually where the problem started from. i tried to install 4ext before erasing CWM and I think that caused the problem.
Do you think that recoveries can be overlapped or am i just being pointless? And can you tell me about any master commands like erasing a parition that will work with s-on?

you can overwrite 4ext in top of cwm
i used to have cwm but i changed it with 4ext using only the command
fastboot fash recovery recovery.img
i didn't use any command for erasing partitions

I also used the same commands but since then I am not able to get into the recovery. it just shows the htc logo on white background
Do you think it has something to do with s-on? were you on s-off when you flashed the recovery?

Nothing to do with s-on. Try flashing 4ext recovery again

If that doesnt work then try what i said earlier
fastboot boot recovery.img
