My stock 2.2.2 streak is rooted. i downloaded honeycomb boot animation, renamed the stock b.a. and named honeycomb b.a. Bootanimation.zip. and rebooted, and it worked. a couple days later i came across something new and cool, i wanted to put the Transformers boot animation on it. i then went back to system/media and deleted honeycomb b.a. and then renamed stock bootanimation.zip, and then i downloaded the zip and put it into data/local like it says. i then tried to boot it up, it showed the dell logo, then screen goes blank with backlight on and button LED's are also on. it also vibrates every 10 seconds...what the heck is going on, hopefully i didnt brick my phone :\
...by the way, i can put it into fastboot, and i can hold vol up vol down and power, to the recovery screen?
Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated, thanks in advance everybody.

Really simple if you have a pre-messing around with boot animation nandroid backup. Just do full nandroid restore and you will be were you were when you made the backup. However, if you don't, you do have one other option, factory reset and use what ever desktop backup program you have (Mybackup Pro or Titianium backup, etc).
Lesson here is if you don't have a clean nandroid backup, make one once you get the phone how you want it apps wise. Than play with boot animations, if you screw it up, very easy fix. Lesson I learned the hard way....
i might have a nandroid from a while ago
i might have a nandroid from a while ago. But the problem may be is i had streakmod recovery b4, then i went back to stock. then i wanted to try flashing a new rom, so i flashed streakmod. i worked once, then next boot it went to stock system recovery. what to do? could i get streakmod now?

Every time you boot a stock rom, there is a script that runs that puts the stock recovery back. You can tweak the rom from root, post install to stop this, but, unless you have done so, that is why your Streakmod has gone.
You can easily just flash it again, then just make sure that you boot straight into recovery from fastboot (hold down the volume keys as soon as you reboot it) and you should be fine
Ill try this
i think i may have tried it before, but ill try it again. thanks
I flashed the ROM(v2.5)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1440396
a few days earlier using CWM v4.0.0.9
It worked alright for a few days.
Today morning I woke up, my phone was stuck on a boot loop.
Should I just flash a stock ROM through odin??
Resolved: you need to flash on clean stock 2.3.x
i have the same problem a few weeks ago, when i use The End v3 ROM , then i flash my phone with another custom ROM through CWM,, that's it
ps: now i use Ace Of Spades ROM by Trent Turvey
Thanks
Will try it out

I have been through bootloops at least 5-6 times. This has never worked for me. Always had to factory reset to make it work.
To maker of this thread:
Try having Nandroid backup once in a while. And don't worry, this seems to be your first time as you're freaking out too much. Bootloops aren't hard brick. Resetting to factory defaults or restoring Nandroid backups or flashing totally another custom ROM should work.

If that is the case, what you said could be followed
And yes I also followed SuperAce609 method for freeing memory and damn it works
my phone wont turn on!!! i mean it'll go to the part where it says "HTC quietly brilliant" but its just stuck there...then i would the press the power button again and it'll just do the same thing. SOMEONE PLZZZ HELP!
Need more information. Did you flash anything recently? Are you S-OFF? Can you access recovery? Did you try to run the RUU or reflash the ROM?

its S-ON, yes i can access recovery, the only thing i did was try to change the font using Font Installer then it rebooted after that it would go on HTC quietly brilliant logo then blacked off, i hold the power button but it did the same thing over n over again for an hour. So i thought if i factory reset it it would fix the problem but i think i made it worse cause now its just stuck on HTC quietly brilliant logo, I left it there for couple of hours and went out hoping when i get back a miracle would happen and it'll be fix but when i got home its still stuck on that logo. I still can access recovery though. This is my very first rooted phone and i have no idea what to do next.

If you can still access recovery, into recovery and to a factory reset and wupe you cache and you should be set
Edit: You should try flashing a different Rom see if that works

What recovery are you using, TWRP? Had you flashed a ROM prior to tinkering with fonts? Did you make a full backup of your stock ROM after HTC unlocking to load your recovery? I am going to make some assumptions to my questions. If you are using TWRP you can mount the sdcard from recovery and copy on another ROM (pick one to use ... MeanROM?). Even if you can't mount the sdcard from recovery you can still get a ROM on to your phone by pulling sdcard2 from the external sdcard slot and manually mounting/copying to/from your CPU.
If you made a backup of your stock rom after loading your recovery then the first thing to try is wiping everything (factory, caches, etc...) and restore the backup. (Sounds like you may have tried that already).
If that does not work then download a different ROM and try it ... MeanROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727167) uses it's own splash at start so that may help (because it sounds like you are stuck at the HTC splash).

When you get in recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, system. Then reflash the rom, you will be fine.

It seems to be that some people are having problems with flashing other fonts (source). ALWAYS do a nandroid backup before doing any of these types of modifications to your phone in the future, it's the fastest way to fix broken things. Also make sure that the fonts you are trying to install have been working with our phones and the newest versions of Android and/or Sense.
Here are some things you can do that might fix your bootloop. In descending order try these:
If you have a current Nandroid backup, restore it. It will get your phone working 100% with the least amount of data loss and won't require you to set it all up again.
Re-flash the same ROM you have (if it's stock, it can also be found in the Android Dev section of the forum). This will likely fix the problem. Especially if it's a font issue.
Hope it doesn't come to this but run the RUU that matches your system. This will completely set your phone back to day 1. You'll have to reroot, etc.
Best of luck. And remember to do nandroids often! :good:
THANK YOU GUYS!!!! i was about to give up
i did what you guys told me to do, download a different rom install it on my sdcard and flash it in recovery. AGAIN thank you guys so much, ya'll just made my day. MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
Anytime you can access recovery you are fine

The 300 MB update started to install, but after the reboot, it's hung at the HTC splash screen. After about 40 minutes sitting there, I pulled the battery. I'm able to get back into the bootloader and recovery so I'm not hard bricked. I'm pretty sure my mistake was letting the update install with AmonRa recovery, not stock. The 7 MB update installed fine that way, though. I just clicked reboot after it was done patching.
Any ideas how to recover from this without completely bricking my phone?
It was completely stock GB other than being rooted and AmonRa.
hopefully you have your data backed up.
I would suggest running the FULL ruu linked here if a data wipe in amon ra doesn't work.
Fortunately between Titanium and a couple of nandroid backups, I do have backups of everything but the stock recovery. I'm debating whether to restore /system and try it again when I get home from work.
Anybody have a link to the full .12 RUU?
I'm pretty sure I read you need to be on stock recovery in order to take OTA.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's where I went wrong. Can anybody upload the stock recovery.img? I'm hoping I can restore my nandroid backup from last night, flash the recovery back to stock and try the update again.
I am the same way Antoine.WG needing the stock recovery for download....and need to know how to lock my phone back....

Found the recovery image at the bottom of this thread. I restored /system and /boot (not sure if I needed /boot, but it seemed like a good idea) and I'm back to GB again. For some reason I can see the update with the status button but it won't give me the option to install it.
EDIT: Gave it some time and it finally prompted me to install. All updated with some delicious frozen goodness.
hi
so when i want to sleep i power off my gsm evo 3d, last night i powered it off as usual, and now it turns on and stays on (htc quietly brilliant) screen and never goes from that
i have s-off and rooted and hboot 1.53.0007 and arabic ICS, i have done rooting and stuff for about 20 days, it was just normal until this morning
help me please, i know a factory reset may be useful, but i don't want to lose my data
thanks in advance
If you can boot into recovery, do a backup to save your data. Wipe install Rom again. Then do an advance restore and only restore the data partition.

i don't want to format it at all
What coal686 was trying to say is, do a backup of the rom, boot directly to recovery, then make a back up of your existing rom. Then re flash the rom and do a full wipe after the rom boots go through the setup. Go again to recovery and within recovery under restore you will see advance restore, click on that, you know see data restore push that and all your apps, email, apn etc will be restored back on your phone
