hboot 1.40, S-Off, was running decks sense rom. Restarted the phone and bam nothing but boot loops, no changes in kernel or anything. I have a Nandroid that does the same thing, even flashing another rom same thing.
I've wiped all caches, data, even formatted through twrp. Still nothing. Any other ideas? The battery at the time of restart should've been around 85% or so, I've done battery pulls, right now I've got it off on the charger, figured might try and top it off and see what happens.

in recovery, mount your usb and backup your sd card files. delete all the files except the rom and try reflashing. maybe an issue with a file in android secure? good luck
Flashing now, just put a diffrent SD with a ROM on it to see what happens. Hoping it works
*Edit* No go, still looping, just shows the white HTC screen, then restarts, doesn't appear to boot at all

May have to try flashing and booting with ADB. Never messed with it myself so I can't help you there.
thats what I'm trying to figure out now.
Thanks for the help though
Have you tried booting without a microSD card in?
Yeah, just updated to the latest 1.03 twrp. Reflashing now, seeing if that helps.
*edit* no go on that either. Next thing is an RUU update.zip
*edit 2* can't figure out how to use logcat during boot, but using the copy recovery log to sd option, gives me a log that is empty.
Ran RUU for 1.13, ran succesfully, still wont boot though.
Hboot still shows s-off though
Running PG86IMG of 1.13 was a no go. Trying 1.11 next

you won't get back to s on until you issue fastboot command to do so.
That's odd that you seem to have gotten a death loop out of nowhere. When you tried the ruu did you use the .exe or the PG86IMG.zip?

I've ran both the .exe and PG86IMG.zip, I'm running the one for 1.11 now.
I'm trying to keep it S-Off, but I'm thinking of changing it back to S-ON, and running the RUU again.
It seems to stay at the white HTC splash screen for a little longer then normal, then it's like the phone just reboots, it charges, I can change recoveries, flash roms, kernels, wipe, it's fully functional, other then when I flash rom, update.zip, RUU. It just boot loops on the white splash screen.
Wonder if I should try reflashing, radios, nv, etc...
Getting quite frustrated now, tried a diffrent battery, same thing.
I get ZERO errors with anything, I can flash, RUU, fastboot, everything, I get no errors have no problems writing anything to the phone. The damn thing just bootloops at the HTC splash screen!
Only thing I haven't done is S-ON, but I'm probably gonna do that and head down to the store, and see whats up. I just don't want an hboot 1.5
I wonder if some how my partitions got corrupted or the tables are incorrect, is there somewhere I can attempt to repair/restore that?
Got a replacement on the way, if anyone has any more ideas I'm listening. Especially since it's possible the replacement maybe updated to the latest OTA.
Damnit! Was hoping someone would save the day. New phone = hboot 1.5

So after unlocking the boot loader today and loading up the stock rooted OTA rom my phone started randomly boot looping. It was sitting on my desk then randomly rebooted and now its been doing the same thing despite my best tries to fix it.
I had Amon Ra recovery installed initially, then flashed CWM via Rom manager. At this point I can't boot into recovery (or factory reset). It all happens very quickly, but it looks like the recovery menu loads up then the phone reboots. I am able to get into fastboot and reflash any of the recovery img's. I've tried the Amon Ra newest, the CWM normal and touch recovery and none of them will let me in. I've tried to get into recover with the 4G sim out and with the SD card out.
The phone does boot into an OS but after about 10 seconds it reboots. I did some digging and thought it might be the older bootloop issue with the network type. It does it with the sim out and in airplane mode so I'm not all that confident that its that issue.
At this point I am looking at tried to re-stock via Hboot RUU's. I have the P98IMG-1.02.605.6.zip on an SD card and that does flash but at the end of the verification it tells me "the main version is older." So I'm either looking for another package that will let me re-stock and give it a try again... or open to any other suggestions?
Hoping the phone isn't totally hosed, though based on what I can still get into I think there may be hope yet.
Anyone?
thanks in advance!
Have you tried CleanFlash? Also you are getting the mainver because you updated with the OTA. Google ruu_vigor. You are looking for the one that starts with 2.01.

This may help...
Get the 2.____.11 RUU from the 'Vigor Shipped' post in development. Follow the directions in the word file in post 2 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487981
And then flash that RUU in HBOOT.
I had 99 problems with the RUU exe and spent the last week trying to get it to take. That tip to extract the PH file finally got me there. It fixed all kinds of issues for me and got me to stock.
Don't forget to relock.
(I think if you ran the ICS leak RUU you may still have issues, but you could follow those steps with that RUU as well probably and it would hopefully get you cleaned up)
Thanks for the help so far.
I got the newer RUU and got it flashed via hboot after i relocked. *edit* after the second time flashing it it seems to be working.
You guys rock.
Hi Everybody-
Last night I went to unlock my phone, and it froze. I'm running leaked ICS firmware, and it has been working fine for weeks. So, pulled battery, restarted, and it would not boot past the white HTC screen.
So far I have tried-
F
lashed a new kernel in fastboot
Restoring a backup (and flashing appropriate kernel)
Re-installing the rom and reflashing kernel
Still won't boot past white HTC screen.
I'm on the new firmware, so I thought I'd try to reflash the RUU. I have the PH98.. file on the SD card, it reads it but won't give me the option to flash, just returns to bootloader.
At this point i'm stuck, is there a way to force the RUU to flash? Should I think about getting S-OFF and trying to flash back to the GB RUU?
Thanks for any help!!!!!
Do s-off. DO NOT UNLOCK AFTER S-OFF. Then run gb ruu twice. Try booting back up after if no luck on the ruu then run in fastboot mode fastboot oem writesecure 3 and send in for a warranty replacement
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
Thanks! I appreciate the response. I still want to try to get the RUU to take without s-off, not sure what's up with that. Good call on not unlocking after s-off, maybe that will make the RUU take.
You could try running the ruu exe on windows if you haven't tried it yet.
Sent from my HTC Vigor
So, an update-
I flashed the RUU through fastboot (thanks, con247), it went fine but it still just shows the white HTC screen, goes black, then shows the white HTC screen again.
I am going to try unlocking again, flashing a new recovery and reinstalling a basic rom. At this point though, I have a bad feeling.
Has anyone seen anything like this!?!?!? It seems like something internal tweaked, but what would cause only that part (i guess \system, \data or something) to fail?
Thanks all for any help!!!

Can you get back to fastboot by holding power and volume down? If so get to command prompt through platform-tools then type fastboot boot boot.img
that should hopefully get you to your rom. Thats what worked for me anyway.

Having the same problem with a friends phone...could you give some instruction on what you did?
If your on the GB firmware, run the Ruu.exe, you should be able to pull the battery and run from fastboot.
If your on an ics leak, con worked some magic so I could s-off, then run the GB Ruu. Check to see if wifi works, mine is c still broken and I will have to get a clnr. The easiest fix might be to just call for a replacement.

Get one of the old GB RUU's and run it on your phone. Start again. If your phone was truly bricked, it wouldn't power on and you wouldn't get an LED light when it was plugged in.

This is an easy one, or would have been when you were on the black screen. Well the internal storage fix scares me, but hopefully that wont matter. Typically all you need to do is get the PH file from your rom and place on sd card, boot into hboot, and run the update I believe, then reboot.
This title needs to be edited as it's misleading.

Relax. The S-off process blows out your recovery. You didn't brick your phone.
Put a recovery image on your SD card, go into hboot (from a powered down state, power button and volume down) and let 'er reload recovery. If you can't get the file on your SD card through your phone, pop the SD card into a card reader attached to your PC and stick it on there that way.
Once that's done, remove the image file from your SD card, put your fav ROM on it, and install it from recovery.
You may need to fix your SD card's mount points. Within the thread on S-off, there's a link to the process.
None of the commands work because the phone is not recognized. I cannot boot to hboot. Uh oh.
I had the same screen. Pull the battery and reboot into hboot, volume down+power and run the s-off program again. Something didn't finish and it will pick up where it left off in my experience.

What happens when you press power+volume down?
Edit: Also, if you're phone turns on, you're not bricked. It's pretty hard to brick this phone.

As I understand it, the only way to brick a phone is to bork a radio installation.
Dude...pull your battery, put it back in, then power and volume down at the same time. If you can get to hboot, life is good.
After about 30 battery pulls I was able to get to hboot. I have no idea what the issue was. Finally got the phone booting now. I appreciate the replies.

Constant reboots
I am able to install roms, but I get constant reboots, every few minutes at best. I tried a few different ICS ROMS. I am running the latest firmware. I BELIEVE with s-off I shouldn't have to flash PH98IMG.zip. I tried fixing permissions also but it has not helped.
How did you get the latest firmware and radios without running the PH98IMG.zip? The ics roms you are installing won't update your firmware.

Well the newest leak came out 5/7 and the one before that 5/2 so only a week ago. I would download the newest from Android Police and follow the instructions they give to install, then flash a recovery and install a rooted Rom for this firmware like Scott's.

I don't know why you relocked...I think there's a thread about not so good things happening to those who relock after S-off. I downloaded and installed the 5/5 leak as PH98IMG after I S-off'd and reflashed the recovery.
I'm pretty sure my hboot said "locked" straight out of the gate after I did the S-off deed.

Nothing bad happens, you just don't ever get back to "locked" without doing S-off again. You're just at "relocked" like the old days. S-on with an eng hboot on the other hand will brick your device.
That aside, there's no need to unlock if you're S-off. Either flash a patched hboot or just flash a PH98IMG.zip of AmonRa if you don't need fastboot commands (I did the latter).
I flashed the last firmware before S-off. I followed the instructions given. I flashed the latest firmware today and this damn thing still reboots constantly. I flashed the 5-7 firmware then the Venasaur Rom.

You need to try installing the radio firmware or just install the complete RUU again. And install a clean copy of the rom, not a nandroid backup. Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system before flashing the rom.

Hello all, I need some help if there are any ideas what could be going on with this phone. I can usually fix my own phone problems, but this one has stumped me...
I bought a rezound dirt cheap that was stuck on the white HTC screen and would not boot into the stock rom. At the time I bought it, it was s-on and I could get in the HBOOT and run fastboot commands.
Since buying it, I have tried many things to get this thing working. I've tried to RUU (with PH98IMG and .exe) and apparently after it completes it is once again in a boot loop on the white HTC screen. I have been able to unlock and flash a custom recovery onto it (amon-ra) and install any cm/aokp rom onto it and boot into that. The only issue with that is when in the rom, my wifi and bluetooth will not connect at all. It wont even toggle on in settings and it is not greyed out. 4G and everything else seems to work ok.
At this time, I'm thinking there is some kind of hardware failure but I'm open to suggestions.
In summary...
I have been able to s-off
I have tried different firmware combos of HBOOTs/radios
I have flashed custom recoveries and roms and can boot into them without wifi or bluetooth
I have been unsuccessful to RUU to anything stock, it'll just boot loop the white HTC screen
Right now, I have installed Tron 2.1 onto it. I did notice post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272781&highlight=no+wifi
When I go into system/lib, there was no /modules folder. I went ahead and created it and put in bcmdhd.ko and rebooted, but still no go. I'm not sure why the /modules folder was missing, but this reaches the extent of my knowledge on what is supposed to be there.
I believe I have tried everything and done fairly thorough searches to get this phone working properly and am at a loss what to do next. If anybody has a thought of something to try, I'm all for it. Fortunately if this phone doesnt work out, its not a big deal to me.
I don't want this to sound like another "stuck on HTC screen" thread. I have been through all those and this doesn't seem like the same problem.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for replying. I have flashed that RUU several times in a row in the past, but I'm redownloading it now to make sure my copy isnt corrupt. Earlier experience when I double flashed this it still remained a white HTC screen loop.
Currently estimated at 6hrs to download, so I wont be able to reply for a bit with my findings...

When the Rezound first came out a bunch of people had boot loop problems because the phone was set to wcdma or some such thing instead of cdma. I'm just a noob hack but that's my memory of it. The cure was to boot without the back cover on which contains the antenna and then change the setting.
Ok, I have re downloaded the AndroidPolice RUU and flashed twice, but was not able to boot into it no matter how long I waited (20 min+). It would just loop the HTC white screen. I then went ahead and flashed your global update firmware and have the same result after waiting (20 min+), it just loops the HTC white screen.
I have tried this process several times last night, but still no progress.

can you explain what you mean by flash the ruu twice once I have saved it to the root of my sd card? Does that just mean get to the bootloader, watch as it reads the the ph98img file and let it do that twice, or do I need to reboot in between, or do I need to put in a command?

when you let hboot flash the zip, the first time is super short. it updates hboot, stock recovery, and splash i think. then it will reboot back to bootloader and ask to be flashed again. this time it will take some time to update because it does the whole system.

something doesnt seem right. the RUU would have flashed the boot.img for you. can you link me to the downloaded ruu that you have? also before you run the ruu did you do fastboot oem lock the bootloader?
Edit:
i remember an old trick from the inc days. after the RUU boot back into hboot and do a "factory reset" then boot into the phone. it use to fix the radio errors somewhere getting after a RUU. no clue why we did it. it just worked. try that when you are on stock recovery locked bootloader
Here is the RUU I have re downloaded. It was also the original I used in the past on my other Rezound
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1570h8l0ba1u7qp/rezound_AndroidPolice_4.03.605.2_PH98IMG.zip
I have also tried the RUU 3.14.605.12.exe and a couple other different RUU versions, but have the same issue with that as well. Even on MicroMod777's OTA-Global-Stock-4.05.605.14 710RD-Rooted 5/1/13 flashed through amon-ra, I get the bootloop. I have done these as locked and unlocked bootloader with no difference. I have also tried the factory reset with locked bootloader.... no go with that either.
I was only able to finally boot in to stock by fastboot flashing the boot.img, and that is where this phone sits now. My major issue at this point is I dont have wifi or bluetooth and have dug through numerous posts and tried different things, and nothing is working on it. What was strange as I said in my previous post, the very first time I was able to boot into stock sense by flashing the boot.img, it briefly saw wifi networks but disappeared and disabled as soon as I tried to connect to one. I have not been able to replicate that since then.
On a sidenote and possibly related, since this phone has been sitting at my desk I decided to try and flash Newt's NOS JB v1.0.0 ROM and it bootloops also at the droid eye screen. I never was able to get it going on this phone. My other rezound boots this just fine.
I think I have reached the limits of my android knowledge of what to try on this thing. I am satisfied with it not having wifi/bluetooth since my wife wont be using those features. I would like to understand what the heck is going on though.
I have a rezound that is now semi-broken. I've got Arman's recovery, but I can't seem to flash anything. I'm really hoping someone can help me out!
I have an hboot that says tampered, unlocked hboot,

This whole thing is acting weird, and I've been working on it for a few hours. I can't seem to get a rom actually working. Maybe I'm not waiting enough, but I left it there for five minutes on the boot screen and it did nothing. I've tried both OTA superstock and Ecliptic, neither to any avail.
Fastboot is being a *****. I've tried everything I can to get fastboot to work, and it will not. It just simply wont work. So I'm hoping someone has some ideas, because I would really like to make sure this isn't my first real brick. plz <3
What commands are you using? And what files are you trying to flash?

I can help you with Ecliptic, which should have just been a simple reboot to hboot after rom flash and then normal reboot. What exactly is occurring? Are you getting "mainver is older" error?
I've tried flashing both hboot_7230ddr2_Runnymede_1.28.0006_20120424 and supermisc - and at this point, I believe the partition tables are borked. I currently have amonra for the recovery, and now when I try and install zip from sdcard it gets all lame and says it cannot mount it. I think what needs to happen first is through ADB I need to find a way to flash a full RUU or something. It used to have 4.03 on it, so I know I'm not far away from success.
oh and at no point has flashboot oem lock ever worked. No Flashboot command has ever responded with anything. I have uninstalled all HTC drivers, removed Sense, and installed just the revolutionary drivers, and they still don't work.
Win 7 x64 -
If the phone boots to hboot fine you should be able to get the ph98img ruu for 605.12 and put that on your SD card and have it reflash your phone. It will fix partition problems as well. Can you try that and report back?

Going by your info in post #4 it sounds like your trying to flash stuff meant for the Sensation XL. You can't do that, also to add you are s-on and if you try to load an eng hboot you WILL brick.
Run through this PH98IMG RUU in bootloader mode.

And make sure you allow the RUU to complete, it will run through twice. It will go to a black screen for several seconds and then it will start over again. Make sure you don't interrupt it. Iirc, it will end up in bootloader when it's done, or maybe it reboots the phone.
It will only run through once, hboot and radio versions will match.

I need to fix the sd card permissions, I think. I will try flashing the RUU. I'm supposed to rename it and place it on my sdcard, and then just boot into hboot? It just...starts...automatically?

If the ph98img is correct it (hboot) will detect it and prompt you to press up to start the update....

So I think I just realized why this has been a catastrophic failure this entire time. It's supposed to be on an EXTERNAL sd, right?

Lol...yup...the small things get ya. Good luck finishing it up tonight. Finish ruu, unlock, flash custom recovery (I prefer the ph98img version of recoveries most of the time). Then load whatever ROM you want from recovery -or- continue rooting/setting up the stock ota ROM.

I still dont know why fastboot never worked :\ But yeah. That's literally all it was. The external SD card vs internal. I wish that was clarified somewhere. But I guess I know this going forward now!
I've got the RUU re-flashed, but I'm still stuck at the ecliptic boot screen. Ill try and do a fix permissions and see if that works.

If you are stuck at the boot screen it's likely you don't have the correct kernel flashed for that rom. Did fastboot ever work for you? If not, do you have a ph98img version of the kernel for ecliptic? Snuzzo will probably chime in here shortly since i think that's his kernel...
I do not have a zip of his kernel, and fastboot still doesn't work. When I try and flash twrp and gives the mainver is old error, and I don't have time to fix this before work. Hopefully someone gives me golden advice and I can get this thing fixed. Three days now :\
Snuzzo, I know you don't do this specifically for money, but I will be donating to you. You've been a huge help.
you as well dottat.
One thing that's strange is I still think my partitions are messed up. I tried using the misctool to write an image to /sdcard2 and no matter what I tried, I couldn't find it. What's strange is when I'm in a shell, it shows this really, really weird login, and keeps kicking me OUT of the shell every couple of minutes. I'm going to try and switch back to TWRP since that what was on this phone when I got it. And yes, the phone was in working condition, things have just inherently gotten worse. http://puu.sh/2XtmZ.png
<3 y'all
OK what status are you at currently and why are you trying to flash that particular partition? Youre getting mainver is older? Hmmmm
You still got the latest twrp on here? If so, flash erez v9 then flash this

That's a dual purpose kernel zip. Do a fresh kernel flash with it. It should also set your mainver properly.

If you let the RUU fun fully and you still have ecliptic boot screen showing you either didn't let the RUU fun fully or something really wonky is going on.. If you let the RUU run fully, you should have a stock rom booting by itself. Can we at least get to that point? We can probably get you around it. .but i would feel better starting from a fresh RUU.

@Snuzzo - what's erez v9? tried googling. Didn't see it in the guides on here either.
