I have a problem with my phone? When I try to reboot it just stays at the white HTC screen. If I wait till the battery is completely drained and plug the power in, it boots perfectly.
Did I do something wrong with my setup?
This is how I rooted and unlocked my bootloader yesterday: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=15251
bump, this is quite frustrating
I think I didn't do this:
But now my phone is stuck on white screen and I don't know how to boot into recovery. Do i have to wait till the battery is completely drained?
-edit-
Thanks guys, problem resolved by pulling battery out during the 3 sec window after rebooting with volume up/down button and booting into recovery afterwards.
Then used ''fastboot flash boot boot.img'' command.
Which custom ROM did you install? Have you tried wiping cache or a factory reset?

Have you tried 'adb reboot recovery' command?

.....Reaper 2.1. I can't wipe cache because I can't get into recovery because I'm stuck at the white htc screen.

Your avatar is a splitting image of you currently.
Don't bump a thread on the hour.....
So what you are trying to say is you never followed your OWN guide correctly?
Now I assume you did everything else and it is just the boot img problem.
So can you give some details on what it said when you tried to flash the boot?
-You extracted the img, placed it with your fastboot.exe and said fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can try the vol up and down and power to get your phone to reboot.

I flashed the boot.img in fastboot with the ''fastboot flash boot boot.img '' command while it should've been ''fastboot flash boot $pathToBootIMG\boot.img ''. My guide was wrong at that step.
That's the reason why I think the phone won't boot the rom, because it doesn't know where ''boot.img'' is.
That's why rebooting with vol up,down and power button won't do a thing. It just reboots,stays at the white htc screen..
I know how to resolve the problem, only I can't get into recovery so that I can fix it!
Reboot using the three buttons. When it is off, pull the battery out (it is a short window so be ready). Then wait a while, put it back in and hold volume down and press the power button.

You need to boot your phone into fastboot to flash the boot.img, keep searching on how to flash the boot.img, it is here, same as flashing recovery though.
Put the boot.img of your custom ROM (extract it from zip file) in the same folder where your adb tools are.
Then repeat that flashing step

Thank you i'm in recovery now. How should I flash boot.img?
Using the command ''fastboot flash boot $pathToBootIMG\boot.img '' i thought it would work gives me ''error: cannot load '$pathToBootIMG\boot.img'''
-edit- nvm just had to use ''fastboot flash boot boot.img
Look at my post above, it may help you

Why pull the battery? That is a completely unnecessary risk. Just reboot using the three buttons, wait till the screen goes blank, then wait for the lights at the bottom to go out, then immediately press volume down and power - it will go straight into the bootloader.
If you pull the battery just a fraction of a second too late you could get a current surge just as it is turning back on and that is a particularly dangerous time to pull the battery in my opinion.

For a very simple reason: people will see the instruction to pull the battery and they will pull the battery. A proportion of them will fry their eMMC chips as a result.
The post may be dead to you, but it still comes up on searches and people still read it. I've already seen it quoted in other threads.

Does your PC recognize the phone? Can you boot into download mode or fast boot?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The computer did recognize it but i cant enter into bootloader because VOL DOWN + POWER just give me a HTC logo
If you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader, you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img.
The only what fastboot says is < waiting for device >.
Put your phone in fastboot mode from hboot.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

how? I cant enter in it because vol down + power only turns the phone and appears HTC logo
Sounds like a problem with your volume buttons. Use adb: adb reboot bootloader. If that doesn't work, your volume buttons may be messed up.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img responds me < waiting for device >
You need to be in fastboot mode, not hboot.
but i cant go into fastboot or hboot. only what i get when pres vol down + power is HTC logo same one when i pres power without vol down

Hi everyone
Is there a way that I could possibly flash wkparks bootloaders or a custom recovery without fastboot or root, this would be very useful because my power button doesn't work

If you have any recovery installed, install the one in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40249156&postcount=7
After that, there's somewhere in the forum a zip file with wkparks bootloaders that you can flash in recovery, search it.
Thanks but I keep getting an error, remember I am not rooted have stock bootloaders have no recovery and cannot get into fastboot mode because my power button doesn't work.

Yes, if you're not rooted you can't install recovery...
I'm not sure if there is a way to enter fastboot mode without power button, try searching the forum for that.

ok so i cant root my phone with this method because there is no recovery, and i should add that my phone always crashes after lg logo on first boot therefore fastboot tools are useless, i need a way to root or install custom bootloaders/recovery without needing any special boot, i saw one that apperently uses adb in the development thread but it doesnt work for me
If you have fastboot installed on your phone; pull your battery, hold Vol -, plus 3D and slide your battery in. Fastboot menu SHOULD pop up. Use Vol+ to select fastboot and your phone should reboot in fastboot mode 0.5

This method requires no use of power button whatsoever. 1st: Do you still have your omap drivers in tact? If so try this tool--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37893247 (if not there is a link for drivers there as well) if you have used fastboot before you should be good; I have never had to reinstall my omap drivers once they were intact until I formatted my CPU; all you should have to do is run the bat file in the "all in one tool 1.2" and it will say waiting for omap device...I never had to hit any buttons or anything I just plug phone in with battery out and tool starts to run. Wait 5 sec and pop in battery and phone will be in fastboot on its own. All other tools I've used I had to unplug phone and then plug back in to start fastboot but not with this one. Choose option 8 for ics bootloaders (wkparks) and then flash any GINGERBREAD recovery (options 2-7) I believe 4 & 5 are cwm touch versions. Use one of those or TWRP 2.3 and you won't have to use power or volume to navigate inside recovery...I use TWRP 2.3 option 6. After that hold volume - and 3D on the phone and type in option 12 (reboot) and hit enter. Profit! Blue Fastboot menu should pop up and default boot option will be on recovery, just let it boot up. I hope this works for you.

I tried to use the same "all in one tool 1.2" but the process stops in "waiting for the device". In phone I have the silver/grey logo for some minutes until the phone reboots in sama state as before.
does the tool actually run when you plug the phone in on "waiting for omap4430 device" or do you start the tool, plug in your phone and nothing happens? Fastboot has to flash to get to the "waiting for device" to pop up. If you wait 5 seconds and pop in the battery right when the tool flashes the second time and nothing happens, just pull out the usb cable and then plug it right back in and your phone should come on with grey lg logo (fastboot). If that doesn't happen maybe try re installing omap drivers.

Today I unlocked my HOX using Hasoon2000's all in one kit. Unlocked the phone, super cid 1111111111, and rooted the phone with no problems. Once i got everything completed i attempted to install Viper XL rom onto the device through TWRP. The first time it froze during the process, so I rebooted and repeated the process. However, once i got it to work through TWRP, it started to boot up with the Viper XL boot screen and then suddenly turn off, and repeat itself. I can't get into boot loader and once plugged into my pc it simply makes the connect and disconnect sounds. Please any help at to unbrick this phone would be highly appreciated...
Have you tried flashing a different ROM?
If it's continually looping when trying to boot, hover your finger over the volume down button, then press and hold it as soon as the screen goes blank. Hopefully that'll get you into bootloader.

That being said, while I would prefer you would help yourself a bit since you were smart enough to get yourself into this mess, I will still help you.
You are currently S-ON?
What hboot?
What version of TWRP are you using?
The phone still turns on right? bootloops?
It's not just black screen?

I can't. I'm stuck in a boot loop, where the device continuously reboots on it's own. Can't get to fastboot or the bootloader. Device isn't being found through the adb since it powers off before it can be recognized.

If the phone turns on, you can get into bootloader.
As soon as the HTC screen comes back on press and hold power until the screen goes black. When the screen goes black, let go of power and press and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.

I actually did attempt searching through the forums, but i could not find a thread that actually helped me in my current predicament.
I am currently still S- ON, my firmware was the latest 3.18, the version of TWRP used was 2.5.0. and yes the phone still turns on, however it's doing it automatically by itself into a constant bootloop from the HTC white screen to the Viper XL boot animation.

It says fast boot on the phone in bootloader. if i reboot in fastboot, it just sends me to my bootloop. Man, i wish i would've just stopped i got this thing rooted.
While 2.3.5 of TWRP i reinstalled the Viper XL on my sd card, for the fourth time. Out of desperateness. But it actually booted up completely. Seems as if everything is working as well. Thanks man for everything.
