Hi there,
I have HTC Flyer rooted S-off.
I was trying to factory reset in order to register it with a different gmail account.
I used the Hard reset option, i.e., in the bootloader used the factory reset,
What I remember is that I used also the options of formating /data, and /system and /internal_SD to make sure everything is clean... Alas, it seems that I deleted something.
Now, when the device tries to reboot, it's stuck in the white screen with the htc Logo on it. If any one has HTC flyer that boots normally, he'd know that the Htc logo is displayed, then an animation of "quietly brilliant" is displayed under the logo. However, this doesn't take place on my device...only the logo.
I left it for more than 25 minutes, yet no change...
Does any one have a clue?
Many thanks in advance...
Regards,
Khatypically

Well formatting /data and /system gets rid of all apps and other information, so it isn't loading anything from there because it doesn't exist (EDIT: it exists, but it's empty). I'm not sure what the bootloader considers as Internal_SD...?
You will have to either flash the RUU to return it back to factory stock (if it's a Best Buy WiFi only, HTC hasn't released it yet), or you could try downloading a 2.3.4 ROM from the Development forums to see if that will fix everything and get you booting again.
As for deleting your Gmail account, you could've tried going into ClockworkMod Recovery and wiping user data/factory reset...that may have gotten back to the point where you could re-enter your Gmail information.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try to do that now.
What about this ROM?
[ROM]LeeDrOiD Flyer V2.0.0 [KERNEL]LeeDrOiD Flyer V1.0.0|26th Oct|FAST|STABLE|WIFI/3G
It's found on the following Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314334
given that the CMod is:
ClockworkMod Recovery for AlphaRevX v4.0.1.4
Oh, by the way, the Internal_SD is the 32G of internal memory, or the available of them, i believe.
Regards,
Khatypically.
I did the steps I mentioned above, flashed the LeeDriod Flyer v2.0 Rom yet the problem still exists. White screen with the htc logo and nothing else for almost half an hour.
Any clues???
HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPP!!!!

Sorrowfully I have nothing as a backup or nandroid.
I believe i have to flash the original ROM. Problem is that I don't know what ROM to flash. I bought my Flyer (32gig/3G) from Emirates. So, I don't know if I have to flash Asian or European ROMS.
I would appreciate a direct link to the ROM to flash. Hopefully the original HTC sense ROM

I tried this one, but when I run it, the program on windows produces error 170, and asks me to make sure the Flyer is attached to the USB and the USB is attached to the computer.
In which mode should I connect the USB? Charge only, HTC Sync, or Disk Drive? I mean of course that the HTC flyer should already be on and running, shouldn't it? or it should be in the recovery mode?

Ok, let's say that this thread has fulfilled its purpose regarding the boot screen problem resolution. The factory reset is OK now. So, I'll open a new thread to discuss the RUU.
Thanks for the guys who helped and commented.

I flashed the wrong recovery and my dumb butt deleted the one I downloaded. Can someone please email me the CWM file itself so I can re flash it?

The links to DL it aren't working for some reason right now.
Thanks a ton!
You should use Amon Ra instead of CWM on the Rezound due to bugginess.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21269139&postcount=159
That's the weird thing... I initially flashed CWM, and it worked(but hung up with the backing up) and then I flashed Amon Ra via bootloader and it would go through the procedure and then say "parsing" then it would be the usual 4 options. Then I went to do a factory reset and, when I do that, it simply goes to the white HTC screen and hangs there. So I got a feeling that I have some work to do tonight.
When I first flashed Amon Ra it didn't show Recovery. I don't remember what I selected to get it to show since someone was walking me through it in chat. This is my first time rooting.
I think I had to select bootloader the first time I went into Recovery? I don't know... but I remember thinking it hadn't worked. So maybe it's the same with you? Sorry I can't be of more assistance. I'm more of a forum librarian who has read most of the threads and can pull up the appropriate helpful thread when needed.
Hey Feral, any help what so ever is greatly appreciated. I am going to be fine once I get to my dev computer but I am stuck at work right now so it's driving me crazy lol!

George ,
I'm having a very similar problem, everything I do or try to do from the boot screen results in an instant haptic buzz, and straight to htc white screen. I cant get out of it unless I pull the battery, but then the phone will reboot and function normally, just with no changes. I even tried a factory reset thru the settings, it acted like it did it, but the phone came back up just like it was, nothing was wiped.
I'll be following this thread and others, and if I stumble on to anything that will help us, I will report back. Thanks, Scott
So I recently installed Nightmare Sense v1.3. I used the latest CWM, and wiped/factory reset, wiped cache and wiped dalvik. I cannot get past the boot screen. I tried reflashing but that didn't help. Someone please help, the thread doesn't contain clear instructions on how to install so I kinda went on my own here. Thanks.

I had a hard time at first to. Before you try again, go to the thread and download the newer 1.4 version. It is Somewhere around page 162 I think. Then make sure you wipe all partitions before installing the zip in recovery. Good Luck
I'm currently having the exact same problem.
The strangest thing is - the phone was booting just fine yesterday.
I had Nightmare Sense 4.0 v1.2 on the phone and noticed that if the battery power got somewhat low it would sometimes shut the whole phone off (crash it off). I'd have to hold the power button to turn it back of, of course. Then after a week or so the phone would seemingly freeze at the HTC boot screen. I'd then have to pull the battery and then turn the phone back on, at which point it would boot up normally. Then today (well, I guess last night, technically) the phone would no longer move past the boot screen.
I can still get into CWM Recovery (v5.0.2.7) and do all of the thing I could do before, but doing complete wipes of everything, trying to load a new ROM, etc, do nothing to help. Plus, CWM is constantly telling me "E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/command" "log" "open log" "mount log" "open log", which I don't remember it saying before.

Just flash a RUU for your carrier, assuming you know the directions already. If not, there are guides that gives you step-by-step directions on how to flash it.
RUUs fixes all software-related issues. From there, just flash a new recovery (I recommend 4Ext), and then flash a ROM.

Mine phone won't even let me install a different ROM.
I realized, when trying to wipe data/factory reset that it says "E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p31" (it says the same thing for 30 as well).
In other words it almost seems like the ROM corrupted the recovery tool or something. I can't format anything and therefore can't change anything. The phone is dead-locked with a broken Nightmare Sense 4.0 v1.3 ROM on it that won't move past the boot screen.

No worries, friend.
I used the RUU and got things worked out but MY GOD does it take a long time to go from where I had the problem back to where the phone was directly before said problem. Use the RUU, re-update the phone, re-unlock the bootloader, re-root the phone, re-install a recovery tool, re-install ROM of choice, re-install ALL software and saved info, etc.
Between all of the work and the loading we're talking hours.

I guess since I can still get to my bootloader and theoretically hit factory reset, I may not really be bricked. But I'd really love to find a fix other than factory reset. At the moment -- when I try to boot to the phone, it goes through the initial white HTC screen and then just stops on the Android eye screen (like this http://static1.businessinsider.com/...-is-what-the-boot-up-animation-looks-like.jpg )
Anyone??

I was thinking about that, but couldn't even figure out how to get a ROM onto my phone to flash.
Forgot I could use TWRP to force it to USB mount to my computer and get it on there like that. Just flashed Viper, but now after rebooting I'm stuck on the white HTC quietly brilliant splash screen (I don't even get to the red Droid eye screen where I was freezing before).

The ROM probably flashed fine. You have to pull the boot.img out of the zip and flash it via fast boot since you're not s-off:
Fasboot flash boot boot.img
Also, when you get everything going be sure to remember to make a backup. And you should do so before flashing anything or modifying system files.

You're trying to flash venom right? Download the newest venom. Open the zip with WinZip or other application. Pull out the boot IMG. Also, go download TWRP version 2.3.3.0 since newer builds have issues with aroma installers. Flash that recovery. Wipe data, cache, system. Flash venom ROM. Reboot to bootloader and in fastboot flash the boot IMG.

I was able to get 2.3.3.0 on my phone via fastboot and can run that version of the recovery now.
However, I'm not sure how to flash a ROM at this point since I cannot get it onto my phone.
(when I use TWRP to tell my phone to mount as USB storage, the SD card is no longer an option -- I cannot select it -- and Windows cannot see the phone as a drive anymore except to ask if I want to format it to FAT32... which I'm assuming I should not do)
Can I somehow get it done via the bootloader screen using fastboot ?or adb? to get the VIPERlte_2.2.0.zip ROM package to my phone?

No reason to be nervous. If your bootloader is unlocked you're fine. Follow steps 1-12 in this post to get a functional stock ROM on your phone. I realize the post doesn't sound like it relates to your issue, but the instructions should generally be viewed as "how to get your phone back to normal".

E:Unable to recreate android secure folder.

I'm surprised no one has suggested, ya know, for him to run an RUU.
Yeah. OP, you should do that

As I said, I'm all ears.
Should I run the RUU to get back to stock/relocked? Or is there something else out there that will allow me to stay unlocked?
You can RUU and then do the whole song and dance to get back to unlocked. If you go S-OFF you shouldn't have to worry about re-unlocking the bootloader.
You can either use an sdcard reader to put the RUU zip in the root of your SD as PJ53IMG.zip or put your phone into bootloader mode run
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once at the black HTC screen
Run
fastboot flash zip <nameofruu>.zip
It might error saying something about main version or if you have supercid it'll complain about that too. Just run the same command again
fastboot flash zip <nameofruu>.zip
And it should take and flash then entire thing and get you back to a working state.

No, OP, don't do that. I'm tired of reading "run an RUU" when it is not necessary. I posted a perfectly reasonable solution that would leave samstein66 with an unlocked bootloader, a very clean factory reset stock ROM, root, and custom recovery. Telling someone to run the RUU leaves them with a locked device which potentially still requires a factory reset to get as close to default settings as when it came from the factory. Now they get the joy of re-unlocking their bootloader, which for our non-htcdev-supported phone means sensitive processes that can mess up a device if not done carefully.

In TWRP, under the mount menu, are you able to use the Mount USB feature and see the internal and microsd storage on your computer?

No, OP, don't do that. I'm tired of reading "run an RUU" when it is not necessary. I posted a perfectly reasonable solution that would leave samstein66 with an unlocked bootloader, a very clean factory reset stock ROM, root, and custom recovery. Telling someone to run the RUU leaves them with a locked device which potentially still requires a factory reset to get as close to default settings as when it came from the factory. Now they get the joy of re-unlocking their bootloader, which for our non-htcdev-supported phone means sensitive processes that can mess up a device if not done carefully.

No, I cannot select those. I can only select cache, data, etc. and when it tries to mount, my computer cannot recognize the drive as H: like it normally would when USB mounted. It does see that the device is trying to mount as H, but that's where I get the Windows message saying I need to format the drive to being able to recognize it. Since I wasn't sure what to do there, I played it safe and went with not formatting (since I didn't know exactly what would get formatted).
Ok everyone, I didn't think myself a noob but apparently I am. I had rooted my HTC Rezound and flashed the ViperRez ROM. I recently purchased a Galaxy SIII and wanted to give my wife the rezound. I tried to flash a stock rooted ROM with sense and what not, now everything is corrupted, no ROMs will flash successfully, and I don't know what to do! When I attempt to flash an RUU (or any ROM for that matter) with Amon Ra I get the following error: "E: Can't open /sdcard/RUU.zip (bad)".
I tried using TWRP and got something like this: "Unable to mount /emmc"
Can this phone be saved or have I ruined it?
Thanks in advance!

You don't install a RUU with recovery. You need to name it PH98IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD Card and install it via the bootloader (power down, pull the battery, restart the phone holding volume down and power until you get the splash screen)
Give that a try, keep in mind if you're s-on and install the latest global OTA that came out a month or so ago, you won't be able to use an older RUU.
Thanks mjones! I am trying that as I type this. Hopefully it works for me.
Okay, so I tried your suggestion mjones, and it went through the motions (i.e. asked me if I wanted to start the update, then went through the update list and gave me the OK on all of them) but now the phone is stuck on the 4G LTE screen. Thoughts?

Nevermind! It FINALLY booted! Thank you mjones for your simple, yet spot on advice!
No problem, glad it worked out for you.

The first boot after a Full Data Wipe / ROM Flash / RUU Flash Android takes at least 10 - 15 minutes to boot. Its doing optimizations and stuff related to the first power on.
Hi guys DEVs and NOOBs. Here's the issue: Son's unlockecd phone started restarting by itself. 2 weeks ago he said he looked at it and it was in safe mode. Since then it was restarting. Now it's asking for decrypt password. Never put one on so I don't know what it is. Phone is running Mikey's MeanBean (who no longer supports this) and is S-Offed. I've done all kind of restarts (hot, normal, boot loader) and it starts up normally but when it comes to the screen unlock BOOM...Decrypt password. And it restarts in airplane mode. The only thing I can do when doing screen unlock is make emer. calls. I'm hoping that I don't have to completely wipe the phone (but copied files on SD just in case). HELP!!!
I would suggest running an RUU. Possibly the latest that will update you to android 4.3 and sense 5. It will wipe internal storage so back up if you can.

Like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653730?
More specifically, this:

For info how to install the RUU, click the top link in my sig and scroll down to the section on RUU's.
I've downloaded the RUU file to my pc but there weren't any instructions on how to install. What are the next steps? It's my first time having to do this in like forever and I don't want to brick the phone.
I have TWRP. Could I take the phone back to stock from there and then just download Sense 5?
UPDATE: So sorry. Didn't read your response correctly. Off I go to try this! Thanks! I'll thank you again once it works!
UPDATE
So I've managed to relock the bootloader thanks to QbKing77. However, I need to proceed with throwing on the RUU given to me but QbKing77 suggests that downloading the HTC drivers. The link on his website for the drivers is dead. Does anyone else know where I can get them?
Just install HTC Sync.
Success!!

I just wanted to say thanks for the help. I fixed it and my son is loving the new look! Now I don't have to put him out of the house for saying he wanted an iPhone! Told him "Look, you wouldn't be able to do all this with that fruit fly phone!" Thanks again! :good:
Glad to help:thumbup:
