This is very weird, I posted this on certain Roms threads thinking it is a rom issue.
When I flash certain roms I cannot get pass the htc white screen. I tried this with Synergy and Viper, CursedDragon. When I flash the rom only it will hang for a while in the white screen then goes black and reboot to the white screen ....over and over.
here is what works with some roms. I will have to take the battery out, hold the vol down then power to get back to recovery and flash different kernel (not the same kernel works for every rom).
I got this way to work with Viper and CursedDragon but not able to find a kernel to flash over the latest Synergy.
I have tried the file to do a complete wipe but it didn't work.
Is this normal? Any ideas. I was thinking to put back my 8G SD since I have replaced with a 16G SD or to revert my phone back and start root again from the beginning?
What do you think?

All I know I am in a similar situation, after trying another kernel, with viper and I am stuck like chuck. so far my phone is stuck on the HTC White Screen, and it goes no further, I can only get into recovery and that is it really, my phone is no good to me as of right now. So I just got back from Jersey and I am in bumble f..k wv, and no one will help me here. Its rooted, and the bootloader is off, or the radio I should say, but I tried many chips and I wasnt able to get past the white screen, So if anyone can help please email me, [email protected] i would really appreciate it. Thanks

Try to download few kernels to your pc (silverneedle, natarchy...). Mount your sd from your phone recovery and put those files there, and apply one the time then reboot (silverNeedle worked for me)

If you guys are trying to flash custom kernels over 2.3.4 roms, it will fail. If you are sticking on splash or lopping it could be a wipe issue, try one of the superwipe zips. Otherwise, more info about your device/system would be needed. Good luck.
Not just custom kernels, with some roms it will not take any, not even the included one.
I am trying to flash Synergy-3DVO_RLS1_08-21-11(NIGHTLY).zip but it doesn't work in my phone. it keepa rebooting on the first htc screen.
I used both recoveries, just to make sure if it might work with one of them.
I rooted my phone with the very first root guide that came out, first temp then revolutionary and now it is on S OFF RL.
I used the super wipe files but don't seem to work.
Can you help with any suggestions?

Sometimes it's just a bad download. I had a boot loop happened once and checked out the md5 and found out it didn't match. I had to download the ROM 3x before it matched.

I'm having a similar issue with my phone. I did a Nandroid Backup (Amon RA Recovery) of my existing ROM and then I rebooted without flashing any new files. The phone boots where I can see the clock and then it reboots itself and continues to do the same thing. I flashed the Super Wipe file and then flashed the new ROM that I wanted to move to and everything is fine.
Does anybody know why this is happening? I should be able to perform a Nandroid Backup without any changes and be able to boot into my existing setup. I like flashing new ROMs every now and again and this obviously prevents me from wanting to do anything. Any help is appreciated!
try using twrp Recovery instead of Amon RA here is the link for the new version

Hi XDA. I did post a topic to do with the same handset but I've requested for it to be deleted as I'm going to post all the current details on my handset and the status of it, just so it's easier to look at the problems.
Modes the phone can run in: Fastboot, System Recovery and USB-MS toggle.
Through backup and restore, nothing works, requests everything through ADB despite having tried that also. Flashing new ROMs after wiping the phone and SD entirely doesn't work, it still gets stuck in the loop no matter what ROM I use.
I have extracted the ROM and system/boot.img's from an Orange RUU via and tried installing the rom and the img files separately but the ROM came up as "bad" and I don't know how to use the .img as they don't come up. I think if I flashed the fresh boot and system images it might work, but that's just me. I have also tried installing the RUU from fastboot, but that doesn't work either, it just searches for images and reverts to the fastboot menu with no indication for the RUU install. I've tried wiping the SD and using a fresh SD and still nothing, still looping.
I'm at my wits end with this and I don't want to have to sell it faulty if it's fixable or "not" bricked..
Its not bricked, if it was then nothing would happen at all.
Although I have never heard of this problem before and the only possible solution i can think of is to connect try and update to the official ROM, which would remove your root access and most likely not let you root again, but this is still better than having a non-working hero.
Hope you find a solution

Good to know it's not bricked, it means that it CAN be fixed somehow.
I have said in the post that I can't get into Android at all expect the boot modes and USB-MS toggle. This means I can't get into sync to install an RUU, which I couldn't do before anyway. I have extracted the ROM from an official RUU but that and the sys.img and boot.img won't flash either. The .img files don't even show, since you can only flash .zip files.
Thanks anyway!
Sorry guys, i need to bump this... :-(
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure I 100% understand the problem you are having here. I guess you are trying to root essentially, since you are trying RUUs and zips (whilst rooting might not be your end goal, it sounds like you're trying to just now).
Make a gold card, and use the HEROIMG.zip method to flash the ROM.zip out an RUU. At work so can't explain fully, but search on these terms for help.
It's already rooted, it's just stuck in a boot loop, and I can get into the states I mentioned above. And I've tried a few ROMs off here and that doesn't seem to work. Tried extracting the ROM from an official RRU as well, which is why I mentioned it.

When you hold Home and Press power do you get into the recovery screen?
Which recovery screen have you got installed?
Have you waited more than 5 minutes for a new ROM to load the first time?
Have you run logcat and watched the output whilst it is loading a fresh rom?
Have you wiped everything before flashing the rom's update.zip?
I get into recovery, I have RA Hero installed on it. And it's sat for over 5 minutes..

You have two options, leave it for an hour and see if it boots. Make sure you do a full wipe and then flash VillainROM or another established ROM. Don't use any beta's or alpha builds.
Alternatively you can get a logcat report going and post that up.
I'll try the first option when I finish work, I'll try Villain as it's what the Hero had on it before this happened.
Are there any guides to doing a logcat report? I tried doing,one once but I didn't seem to get much out of the instructions I was given. Thanks for your help so far .

there is info on setting up adb. Then do "adb logcat > logfile.txt" and send logfile.txt
Anon I'll try that at the weekend sometime when I get a chance.
Btdag I left the Hero on until it died, nothing but the Hero screen. Guess I need to bump here again once logcat is done..

Alright here goes. I have the evo 3d and just got it today. Was so excited to root that I used the HTC unlock from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225974 it all worked well. I created a backup and I used the Synergy rom and had it installed just to try out. I decided to revert and and wipe system ,data, and cache and restore from my backup. It restored successfully but there is a problem. When it boots into the OS the screen goes black. The screen is still responsive and I have had people place calls to me and it worked. Even though the screen was black I could still click on things and here what I've clicked. The screen works when I am in the recovery menu etc but when it comes to loading up the ROM it stays black. Any ideas? Can this be fixed? I am sorry if this is in the wrong section to. Don't mean to start any problems here. Seeking help ASAP. I am on hroot 1.50 2.3.3 android.
Can you get into the bootloader/recovery?
Try grabbing the stock rom and flashing it. Sounds like something didn't backup correctly so your restore didn't go great. Something to remember when you go out and start flashing roms is that the HTC Unlock method does not unlock all the partitions so flashing kernels and radios won't always work. You pretty much have to stick with roms based on 2.3.4 and use the stock kernel. Remember you are hboot unlocked but not s-off.
What recovery did you use to backup/ restore?

I got it to work.
I figured out what my problem was after a couple more hours of playing around.
I am still a beginner with this but I learned quite a bit. I am using the revolution recovery system. What I had to do I used the backup that I had created and restored it. After that I powered off and went back into the fastboot menu holding power and volume down. I then took the backup boot image and flashing it using fastboot and it managed to make everything work again. From what I have been reading around here I can't just restore everything using HTC Unlock method. That's what I get for jumping the gun and not reading enough before I used the HTC unlock but it works now. Thanks guys for the help.

Glad you figured it out. I was about to yell at the guy that told u you can't flash kernels or radios.
Google setting up fastboot. Instead of flashing images with fastboot tell fastboot to reboot recovery recovery.img and u can now flash any image any radio and kernel just like us lucky bastards with real s_off. Pm if u need help.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

I have a UK GSM HTC Evo3D unbranded - S-ON - H-BOOT-1.49.0007
It was last working seemingly properly on Thursday. I was running KingCobra3D-ICS 1.6 quite well for the past 3 weeks, then in the evening it froze whilst I was trying to take a picture and rebooted. It then proceeded to fail to load apps everytime Launcher pro tried to load (i.e. everytime it rebooted) and rebooted again, so I figured it was time to flash a new rom!
I went to revert back to LeeDrOiD 3D V5.4 which I has used before, and only stopped using to try the ICS in KingCobra3D. It seemed to install fine, but then on rebooting it gets stuck at the HTC splash screen.
I have seen various posts about how to get around this and I have tried to do the things they suggest but none so far have worked for me, they include:
Flashing another rom - Tried 3 different ones, they all hang on the same splash screen
Wiping Cache/Davlik/Factory reset - seems to have made no difference
Installing another recovery - adb returns "Failed (remote: signature verify fail)"
Relocking and unlocking again via HTC Dev method - I thought this would return my rom to stock, and it might have, but it still freezes at the splash screen
Other ones which I can't even remember!
If anyone has any more ideas to suggest, or posts to recommend and redirect me to, please do!
Thanks in advance!

Flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-shooteru.img via adb - this didnt work before, but did this time, I used to have 4EXT, I'm not sure if factory resetting and installing from zip would be any different with it but I thought I'd give it a try! - it made no difference :crying:
I'm absolutely stumped as to what it could be. I've also seen posts that mention installing the original rom via RUU, but I don't know which one is mine, and the ones I've tried seem to all give errors.

You need a few things, should only take 20 minutes maybe, try to restore a backup if you made it. go back to a gb Rom, find adb.rar using google, use revolutionary to s OFF, update firmware, flash ICS, profit!?
Lemme know
ok... Please pardon my stupidity on this. I had a Tbolt rooted and S-off no problem. My bro-inlaw got a rezound.. so I was like "I can root and ROM it no problem." Well big problem.
I can't really remember what I've done because I've been trying everything left and right. The only thing I know for sure is that it is unlocked and I have Amon Ra's recovery on it..
I've flashed several different PH981IMGs and ROMs and each time it just keeps boot looping the whatever boot animation that ROM uses. i'm sure I've just put things that aren't compatible, but I'm so lost right now.
So, all I really want to do right now is get the whole thing back to stock.
Can anybody please tell me how to get the thing back???
thanks,

It looks like you are s-on. Use fastboot to flash boot.img on the phone and reboot.

i am also having the exact same problem with my rezound. i am stuck in the boot loop and only get to the htc logo and it just stays there.
i have also tried several img. files for it and can't seem to get it to go. can some one give a few more details on how to boot into fast mode to get it going?
like exactly what files do i need to load? would these be on the root of my sd card? and do i need to rename anything?
i know for sure that my phone is "s-on".
