Hi,
I tried downgrading from HC to GB because I wanted to install the official Update from this Thread.
But then the Flyer was stuck in Bootloop (white HTC Logo).
Fastboot was working anyway, and it displays:
-Revolutionary-
FLYER PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-6.11.1111
MICROP-0950
RADIO-3822.10.08.07_M
...
Now I wanted to go to fastboot, but the Flyer turned off immediately. When I plugged the Charging Cable in, the LED starts to blink. I've read several Threads about similar Problems, but I'm not sure what I have to do now. Wait until the Battery is empty, or let the Charger plugged in for several hours?
Can the Flyer be rescued?
What file did you use for the dd command?
Did it boot to fastboot/bootloader then power off immediately, or just never power on?
Start off by trying to charge it for a few hours.
I was unfortunately using the Guide "Revert from HC with HTC Unlock to GB - After any upgrade method..." and overlooked the red Warning (it was late...).
After running RUU the Bootloop appears.
Fastboot/bootloader was working (until the Battery was empty).
I'm trying to charge it over night.
Should I do this as the next step?
Thank you.
yes, if your hboot version is still 6.11.1111 you should do that next if you can get enough charge into the flyer to flash them.
Where are you located? ( what country )
In Germany.
Here I am back again. Charging and flashing the two files was successful, and now I'm trying to follow the steps from your advice. But I'm not sure whats the correct RUU for me. The CID of the Flyer is HTC__E11.
Do I have to use RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3_R_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204108_signed or RUU_Flyer_HC_S_HTC_WWE_3.55.405.1_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M_release_226690_signed (because my Radio is Version 3822.10.08.07)?
I tend to the first one, the Gingerbread RUU?
Regardless of the Version: when I try to boot into recovery, I get the same error as jcrouzzo - I'm stuck at the HTC Screen...
Yes, of course you do. You don't have a complete ROM. If you set up a teamviewer session I'll help you out. It will only take 20-30 minutes to fix everything.
You want this RUU:
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3_R_Radio_20.3504.30.08 9BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204108_signed
Hey I have a similar issue. I tried to revert to S-off GB using the 3rd post from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
I flashed PG41IMG-WIFI.zip using fastboot. The file did not have an android-info.txt so I copied one from another file. It flashed fine. I didn't know what rom's I could flash having an s-off "incomplete" on my flyer so I downloaded leedroids latest GB. I held vol up and power to get to bootloader this morning. I let it sit there while I turned back to my computer.
When I turned back to my flyer a few minutes later, the screen had gone dark. I tried the power button, holding power for a minute, holding vol up and power.
The amber/orange light keeps blinking. Holding the power button causes a fast blink, no light for 5 seconds, then it starts blinking again. It just keeps blinking when it's plugged in.
ADB and fastboot don't detect anything. I thought I had a full battery last night.
Any ideas are appreciated. In summary, it powered to bootloader successfully then went to "sleep".
EDIT: False alarm. It started working (for a little bit) after 2 hours of charging. I guess it charges a lot slower without a proper rom
hlp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
i have same problum but i read this thread v v v late my phone is now not switch on due to charging pz help me
Hello everyone,
Short and simple....I've f*cked up.
A) I have no recovery flashed to my device
B) Fastboot/ADB is not working with my device, because the original cable it came with got destroyed, and all other microsd cords I've tried, charge only.
C) I have no rom on the phone.
All I have access to is a 8GB microsd card with adapter to read it in my computer.
My phone is useless right now and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have to ask, how did you end up with no rom or recovery? Have you tried putting a recovery on the phone yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521169
Use the second option (marked easy), granted that works then it should be a matter of loading a rom onto the sd card and flashing?
Good luck!
If you can't get into fastboot, you're pretty screwed... Try and get your hands on an original cable

well good news is that you're not bricked... bad news is that you need a working cable to get into fastboot to flash a recovery as previously mentioned lol
also for future reference this should have been posted in the general sub-forum btw lol
im sorry but i think the only difference between the original cable and the USB Cable Micro USB is that i htink the Original cable has a better layout so it doesn't fall out now? like on my other blackberry the usb comes off so quickly. Here its imposible for it to come off. Shouldn't they function the same? it just has a different head size.

First off, this shouldn't be here but in General/Q&A. I'm sure binary will move it there.
Secondly, just to go step by step... When you pull the battery and restart while holding the volume down key what happens?
Lastly, I would recommend placing the wind RUU on your sdcard's root.
Step 1) Visit this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...;<br />Rom||RUU|| Shipped Ruby ROM Collection
Step 2) Download the appropriate PH185,,.zip file to the root of your SD card...
Step 3) Put the sd card in your phone, Boot into HBOOT by Pressing VOL DOWN + POWER together...
When you can get into HBOOT, the system will identify the PH185 image on your card and will ask you if you want to update. Press VOL UP for YES to confirm... and let it flash.
Step 4) Grab a beer and enjoy your Amaze
p.s. If you cant get into HBOOT, than your screwed...
I am able to get into hboot, when I get into hboot, it takes a while for it to read thr file, when it finishes it just dissappears, no prompt to apply update.
I think my usb port is short circuited or something, because sometimes it shows hboot usb, but it flickers on and off. Tried three other wires, only the one shows any sign of usb functionality for me. If going out and buying another wire will help I will go, but I have no idea if it will.
I had the cwm 5.5.504, I had the dual cpu rom on it, but i wanted to change to sense 3.5, and I got stuck in the bootloop. Then when I boot into recovery again, my batt died and now when I try to get into recovery, flashes for a second then goes to white htc screen and hangs there indefinitley.
Usb wires only charge my device as of now.

this is why you flash stuff with a full battery... you probably got stuck in a bootloop because you didnt flash the sense3.5 kernel, so my first recommendation would be to flash the dual core rom.. but since you cant get into recovery... hm...
HOLD ON. cant you flash the older cwm through hboot?! wasnt that the old method? place the pxxxx.zip on your sd and wait? why dont you try that and see if you cant get into recovery?
Do i rename the wind RUU PH85.img as well? or .zip?
I just went through all these steps, and then the PH85IMG.zip loads and reads, but no prompt comes up to update or not.
My phone is relocked via fastboot oem lock
so you got fastboot working, or what?
if so, there was some method to flash that PH85IMG.zip manually
kind of 'fastboot oem rebootRUU' something like that
I just tried that, it brought me to an hboot screeen with a RUU highlighted option, no option to do anything with it.
it should been reboot you in to RUU flashing mode (black screen with some logo in the middle of it)
you didn't answered, your fastboot is working now, right?
so why don't you just flash a recovery? or you tried?
I ended up with this.
my fastboot is working, only because i have the wire contorted in this weird way
If fastboot is working then try downloading the toolkit and using it to flash recovery. First thing to do though is make sure that battery is charged up.
Here is the story. my parent bought my brother the amaze 4g for his birthday. he was messing with it trying to root it and such and today he was trying to install a new rom and while it was installing he disconnected the cable, the screen is a black background with green arrows and a phone. I'm not familiar with this but when i press the power button and down button it says unlocked at the top. When i tried to install the stock rom it keeps coming up with no image.
Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance
Was he trying to make it s=off? When I did that on my phone that happened, and it is easy to fix. Ask your brother first, but if he was trying to get s=off, all you have to do is get the leaked ICS image from the dev section and flash it. Download the file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615164&highlight=leak, rename it to PH85IMG.zip and put it on the external SD card, then boot into the bootloader and press the up volume button when it asks if you want to update. However, this only works on T-Mobile phones.
I tried that a bunch of times already but every time it starts checking and at the then it just says no image and goes back to H boot
Edit: It is a T-Mobile phone
Sorry, I just reread your original post, your bootloader has to be locked to flash the file, so boot into fastboot and run "fastboot oem lock" from your computer's command prompt.
I just tried it and it gets stuck on "waiting for device" and I don't know if it makes a difference but something happened with his SD card and my computer couldn't read it so I had to reformat it and its empty right now
If that doesn't work, I am not sure what can be done. I wouldn't think the SD card would matter, but make sure you formatted it as FAT32, just in case, and leave the zip file off of it, go into bootloader and use the volume buttons to go to fastboot, and click the power button to select it, then plug it into the computer. If it then says fastboot usb I would think the oem lock should work, but if that fastboot usb doesn't come up, there might be something wrong with the whole boot loader or something. Sorry I could not help any more.
I went into fastboot and connected the USB cable and it didn't change, it still just say fastboot highlighted in red
I have no idea what you could do to fix that, then. Again, I apologize that I couldn't help more, and I wish you the best of luck with this.
Thanks for trying to help anyway

Adb debugging wasn't on I bet :banghead:
I don't get how he got in this position. I don't use a cord to install ROMs. If he were to unplug, I don't see what that would do except stop charging... Unless he was in disk mode and it caused a bad unmount and corrupted card.
I would try the steps above with a fresh sd card and it should work. Redownload the ics or gingerbread ruu and go through the steps.
He was in the process of flashing his phone with some rom he wanted but then somehow he accidentally disconnected the USB cable and it froze up. Now every time you turn the phone on, after the HTC screen it shows the picture that its being flashed (black background with green arrows going into the phone) so I can't turn the phone on at all but I do know that his phone had usb debugging on before he flashed it.
Ok so I found out he was actually trying to get S-off with some "wire trick" and he said at the beginning of the process the phone was restarting and he accidentally unplugged the usb and when the phone rebooted, it got stuck in the dark screen with the green arrows
This just means he needs to continue trying the wire trick. I was stuck at the screen too. I just kept running the program and attempting the wire trick until I got it right.

I just tried the wire trick and it got all the way to counting 45 seconds and the phone keeps rebooting. So I tried to run the program again and now it says connect device and install drivers

Hey, thanks in advance.
I accidentally flashed a wrong boot.img on my Flyer with fastboot and now it only shows a black screen after the HTC logo. I'm also not able to power it off. So I waited until the battery was empty, began to load the battery and then tried to get into recovery (fastboot) by pressing Volume-down + power switch. But it didn't work, it only started normally with the htc screen and then showed the black screen.
How can I access recovery again?
Do i need to connect it to the PC or does it have to have a minimum charge (40%) to work?
I'm sorry to ask such a question, but all the thread and tutorials only say "go into recovery", but they have no answer if that doesn't work.
you will want to make sure it has ample charge but unless you can see your device in adb you will have to get into hboot using power and volume down method
Flyer
What if I can see my device with adb?
Cause that's the case, it's listed under "List of devices attached" if I enter "adb devices". It's state is "recovery".
It's a shame to admit, but I never used adb before...
What can I do with adb that helps my problem?
Try
Adb reboot bootloader
That worked
And installing another rom also worked well.
Thanks a lot for helping me out with that issue.
no problem

HTC Amaze. Tried toolkit but it will only boot to screen with circle of green arrows then red triangle with exclamation point. Try to boot to HBOOT and get nothing on the screen via toolkit or button combination. Tried factory reset by finally getting into recovery by just randomly pressing buttons on red triangle screen and factory reset throws many lines of errors where it cannot find /data /cache..... I can pull battery and boot into phone and use phone fine but I am trying to unlock bootloader, root, and flash a custom ROM. I have SCOURED these boards and the net. I have looked at screenshots of the bootloader and tried to see if the screen simply isnt showing the information and that is a possiblility since I pressed down once and power button and it went to the same recovery screen. How do I simply flash this whole thing back to stock? HBOOT, RECOVERY, ROM, EVERYTHING? Possible?
Help would be greatly appreciated!

htcdev.com gives you instructions to unlock the bootloader. then you go to the htc amaze all-in-one kit and flash 4ext as a custom recovery. then you can flash any rom you want (assuming you already have ICS installed).
P.S. A quick google for "how to unlock htc amaze bootloader" directs you to htcdev.com for the very first hit. SCOUR HARDER lol.

With all due respect I have done all of the items using the toolkit involving unlocking the bootloader with token ID. Are you saying to not use toolkit and just use HTCdevs instructions instead?

okay i just read this whole thread and i'm completely lost as to what your trying to do.. first off if your boot loader is still locked and you want to flash back to stock you need to download the correct RUU file for your carrier... if you supply that information i can help you look for the right one.. then you rename that file to ph85img.zip and place it on the root of your SD CARD and boot into bootloader by removing your battery and placing it back in and "HOLDING" volume down and the power button until you are in the bootloader menu... after that its just following the instructions to flash back to stock
these are the instuctions to Unlock Bootloader > FLASH 4EXT > ROOT > Flash ROM
download hasoon's AiO toolkit and instll the htc usb drivers...
use the toolkit to unlock the bootloader if not go to htcdev.com and follow the VERY easy instuctions listed there... (you can skip the first few about installing android sdk)
after you unlock your boot loader proceed to flash your recovery (id suggest using 4EXT since your prob S-ON)
once you have a custom recovery you can proceed to flash the super SU file including in the aio toolkit
then make a "NANDROID" backup of your phone using 4EXT before you continue to flashing any roms
the rest is simple just download what roms you want and read the instructions to flashing the rom..

I have done all of this to the T back when I originally started this thread and now that I tried it again today. When my phone is booted to bootloader using the toolkit it is just a black screen. When I unlock the bootloader using the token I received from the HTC Dev site the toolkit says it was unlocked successfully. I then flashed custom recovery that it says was done correctly. Then when I boot into recovery it is goes to a picture of a phone with a green circle of arrows for 5 seconds then a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. If I play around mashing buttons I can get into the stock recovery with blue letters and options to restore (doesnt work, many errors) and 4 other options. It is like my screen is messed up and will not show the bootloader/hboot screens. I have never been able to see the screen with the option for fastloader before which other people can see. Does this make any more sense? When I boot my phone it is a black screen until I see the bleedover from the soft keys, then I have to press the power button to turn screen off and back on for the screen to start working. After that it always works fine!?!?!?! What is wrong here?!? Its like I should just load the stock firmware and start all over but I cannot see the screen to select fastloader so it will recognize the PH#### file I have downloaded and loaded onto my SD Card. I am at a loss over here!
okay so your phone can boot to stock recovery but you cannot boot into the boot loader? via either adb or from pulling the battery and holding the buttons?

Pretty much, with the exception that the only way for me to get into the stock recovery is trying to flash a custom recovery and the phone going to the screen with the green arrow circle then the screen with the red triangle and exclamation and I start pressing random combinations of volume up and power.
I have never seen anything other than:
Green circle screen
Red triangle screen
Stock recovery with blue lettering after random buttons
Ok, this is quite confusing lol. Let's start from the beginning. Take your battery out, put it back in then power on the phone while holding down the volume-down button.

Are you sure? Have you taken out your battery, put it back on, put the cover of the phone back on, press AND hold Volume Up and Power Button until you get a white screen that has some options and with the android mascots on the bottom of the screen (in other words the bootloader)? If no, then you need to boot into bootloader through hasoon2000's kit. Now what you do is you install the HTC Drivers through his kit (highlight install HTC Drivers at the top left box, first option in his kit), then after that, have your phone connected to your computer with a USB, then on your phone, go to Developer options in Settings then check USB Debugging. Once that's done, with your phone connected to your computer still, go back to the toolkit and in the second to left box you'll see reboot to bootloader. Click on that and then click on the button below the box that says "Do Command".
