Did you wipe all the way? Also what is your software 2.17 or 2.08 ? Did you fastboot boot recovery.img when you flashed?

You need to flash boot.img/kernel using fastboot or Flash image GUI or else you will face issues if the ROM uses kernel other than your current one.
This is the limitation of HTC unlock method (S-ON)

I flashed the boot.img using fastboot as you suggested. Now the phone is stuck in an endless loop between powering off and the HTC startup logo.
It appears that I am getting closer to fixing the problem but I am still stuck. Can you help further please?
Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply.
I did wipe all the way. How do I tell whether I have 2.08 or 2.17. if the phone not able to start up?
I flashed boot.img using fastboot. I just realized that the bootloader when doing and Hboot tries to load the image indicates no image or wrong image.
I am either missing a step or did something wrong.
Please help!
did you make a backup of Infected before you flashed?
When you say you installed Warm did you install and actually get it fully booted and set up your home screens and all that and it only stuck on the first reboot after? or was it right after you flashed warm?
Really if you made a backup of infected or what you were running before you should be able to restore that via recovery then boot up normal. Then use FlashImageGUI to flash the kernel needed for Warm, then reboot into recovery mode and flash the other portion of the Rom from the custom recovery.
Unfortunately, I did not back up Infected or other previous roms. I didn't know that I should, I only backed up my apps using Titanium. I now know better.
Still stuck in loop mode. I have been searching the forums for some possible solutions but so far nothing has worked.
I am up the creek without a paddle...
kongfooey said:
I used Titanium Backup to back up apps etc. is that the same as backing up the rom (Infected)?
If I had the backup how do I recover using recovery? I have been reading other posts in the forum and have tried some of the suggestions. I wiped the data and cache.

na TiBackup isn't the same as backing up the Rom itself.
Full backups are done from within the custom recovery...
the boot.img you pushed via fastboot earlier. where did you get it from?
Silly me... I realized that Titanium backup was not the correct backup after I posted.
I took the image from the Warm zip file. I initially thought the problem was fixed until I realized that the phone is in an endless loop...
Still looping

well to be honest I would just go back and start form scratch at this point since pushing the kernel via fastboot somehow didn't take for you nor did clearing cache's after the fact.
after pushing the kernel via fastboot, have you tried doing that again, and then going into recovery and flashing the rom again? If that doesn't work you might as well just go back to stock and push stock kernel flash stock rooted OTA, boot up, and use FlashImageGUI to push the Warm kernel then go back to flashing the Warm rom in recovery...
really before pushing the stock kernel if you wanna test to see if your initial push of Warm kernel even took fully just fully wipe data and try flashing infected again in recovery. If it boots fine then you know your fastboot push didn't take before to begin with...
Edit:
before i even really get more into this. does Warm even use another kernel beside the stock one? If they dont then all of this could of resulted from a bad download of the rom itself being flashed...
Sgt. Slaughter, I salute you...
I played around with your suggestions. Got it working... I flashed a different boot.img and it solved the problem. I may have gotten a bad Warm rom...
Thanks again!!!
Note: if you took/installed the latest update (2.17.651.5) you won't be able to use roms based off earlier firmware/kernels (ie 2.08.651.2 or 651.3) b/c of kernel differences (I think I've read that somewhere).
I believe Warmtwopointthree and Infected are not using the latest base/kernel.
Edit: saw you posted right before me. So what kernel/boot.img did you use?

Nice good to hear. Fact you had your phone even semi-booting makes solving anything wrong with it usually trial and error and ends up not being so bad to fix...
I used boot.img from OTXE Titan HD ODEXed New Beats!
I need to educate myself a bit more about the differences between kernel and .imgs etc...
Thanks for your response. I greatly appreciate!!
I'm having a very similar issue, I rooted my Evo using Revolutionary and installed CW Recovery and everything was fine so I tried installing ZR3D and part way through the install, my phone turned off and now it wont get past the HTC boot screen. I went into CW Recovery but nothing is working, no matter what option I choose [even Turn off phone or reboot] it gives me the CW logo but nothing happens.
I have HBOOT 1.49.1107 with S-Off
Try reflashing your recovery threw hboot.

Can you boot into Fast boot? If so, try connecting your phone to a computer and flashing a recovery through there. Then try to install the ROM.

Tried to S-Off. Something went wrong and now I'm stuck at the Juopunut splash screen on the phone. Can't do anything but access hboot. Not sure what to do and some help would be appreciated...
Flash your rom's boot image and a recovery of your choice via fastboot. This is a common problem.
Did you S-Off? The program needs to tell you that s-off was achieved before it boots up normally back to ur rom.

Thanks. I'm able to recover the phone by flashing through fastboot. Finally, S-OFF! Not sure what I was doing wrong as I changed nothing but the program keep on hanging up in the same place everytime like 4 times in a row forcing me to fastboot boot and recovery img's. I guess 5th time's a charm this time! Thanks for the help...
.....I found that I somehow double posted this thread..... Sorry.
My daughter has a stock Thunderbolt, which has worked since Christmas. All of a sudden a couple weeks ago, she woke up and it was stuck in a boot loop on the HTC splash screen.
I'm still able to get into bootloader, but unable to do a factory reset, or flash a stock RUU. Cannot boot into (stock) recovery. As soon as it tries to load the recovery console, it starts the splash screen looping again. Seems like recovery is corrupt or something
I've tried some unbricking processes, but nothing has worked. If I could get adb to see it, I'd just root it and put cwm on it, but can't get that either.

Any help is very much appreciated. Verizon store said they can't flash a fresh recovery on it, or the latest RUU...
Nothing? No suggestions?
Maybe something herehttp://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/449138-boot-loop.html will help...
What won't work with the RUU?
It possibly could be caused because of a corrupt sim card and/or a corrupt SD card. Try removing the SD card and see if it will load up. If still nothing, take it to Verizon for another sim card. If you go into a corporate store, they won't charge you for another sim.
Just a couple of my suggestions.

I will try that link above.
I brought it into a privately owned verizon store on Thursday, explained to them what was going on, they said they have no idea, and I should bring it to a corporate store, so I did.
I told the guy exactly what was happening. He assumed a read a few things on the internet, so treated me like I've never used a phone before. I have had a G1, Evo, and Evo 3D...all rooted and mega customized, so not like this is my first attempt at using a smartphone.
I've tried booting without the sdcard, same thing. I've tried booting without a sim card, same thing. I tried with another verizon LTE sim card, same thing.
When I try to flash anything, I put the zip on the sdcard, power on to hboot, let it load the zip, then it does nothing, just sits at hboot. I scroll down to recovery to be able to select to restart or power down, press power, it goes to the white HTC splash screen, then the circular arrows above the phone, then to the red X, then back to HTC splash screen and boot loops the splash screen.
I can tell you your recovery is gone. Try downloading the hboot flashable cwm again and flash that in hboot. If you can get into recovery maybe you will be able to flash a rom again. You may also want to reformat your sd card or even try a different one.

that's exactly what I told the verizon dude, that recovery is gone and all they need to do is flash it back on, he said that's not possible, handed the phone back to me and said "have a good day".
I knew it was a long shot when I went in there and had to tell them how to boot into hboot, and how to remove the battery.
Don't I have to be S-OFF to flash cwm? Remember, it's stock, unrooted, and S-ON

Because when hboot loaded it, which took a few minutes to load and verify, it then automatically went into recovery to actually flash it, which put it right back into the boot loop.

Now that I think about it, it shouldn't have to go into recovery to flash it, it should have been just fine from hboot....but...after I flashed the RUU, it did reboot into recovery, and started the loop
So did you remember to clear cache and dalvik cache? That would put you in a boot loop every time.

No...it's stock, stock recovery, stock rom, S-ON...she brought it to me in this condition. It's not a rooting gone wrong. If I could get the laptop to see it, I'd root the damn thing so I can get cwm on it.
When she brought it to me, it was in this exact state. First thing I tried was to boot into recovery, which didn't work. So I googled for 'thunderbolt boot loop' and started trying things.
Before I go any further, I'd like to thank everyone for their input and thoughts. She's 12, and I really don't want to have to buy her a new phone.

Try redownloading the ruu
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I have the exact same problem, I am using a custom rom, killasense.
It loads to HTC splash when I try to connect to computer or try to go into recovery from revolutionary. It says S-OFF on revolutionary, not sure what it means.
Please update if you find a solution, I am trying to do a factory reset, but cannot.
If it says s off that means the phone has been rooted. You're running killasense which is a custom rom.. If you want to go back to stock simply download the most recent ruu, put it on the root of your sd card and rename the file to PG05img. Reboot into the bootloader press the power button to enter fast boot. It will ask you if you want to update select yes. After it completes make sure you rename the file so it doesn't try running the ruu every time you enter the bootloader. Also check the md5 before you try to run it.

I downloaded the 2.1 mecha ruu and tried to load it in hboot, and it said the existing Rom is older. So that mean I can't flash a newer ruu? Gotta be the same or older?
Since I don't have a thunderbolt, I'm not familiar with ruu versions, any way to tell in hboot so I can download the same or older?

I put a new rom file (BAMF SoaB) into the SD card and renamed it PG05img, went to Revolutionary it said loading PG05img, but after it loaded it did not show a yes or no prompt. It went back to home screen of revolutionary after saying "No image or wrong image", still stuck on boot loop splash screen.

I am a complete noob. Sprint Evo 3d 1.5 s-on, I have been running Viper IC3D for a month now, loving it,should have stuck with that. I wanted to try one of the Jelly Bean Roms, specifically the Team D.I.R.T. one, but I didn't want to have to keep flashing the two roms back and forth. Found out about Boot Manager Pro on here, and found a thread about using it with hboot 1.5 s-on. followed the instructions, booted into D.I.R.T. rom. fiddled with it, decided to go back to my phone rom. Boot Manager kept unexpectedly closing on me, wouldn't stay open long enough to do anything. So I went into recovery and restored my nandroid of Viper. But D.I.R.T. loaded! Said screw it, and wiped and reflashed Viper. D.I.R.T. loaded! Couldn't get anything but that ROM to load no matter what I did. Uninstalled Boot Manager, nothing but D.I.R.T.So I hunted around here and found a thread that said if all else failed, to manually remove Bootloader from sd and go from there. Did that, and it soft bricked my phone. I can get into recovery, but no matter what I do when I reboot it hangs in HTC white boot screen. I cannot afford another phone and don't get an upgrade til next year. Please Say there is a solution to this! I cried all last night, couldn't sleep, and I'm crying again. Side note, i accidentally erased half the C; Drive on my laptop trying things I found on another android forum,and system restore didn't work. So I'm back here, and I'm scared to try anything else, but I have to do something. Help!!!!!!
Flash the kernel. All will be well.
Viper rom should include boot.img.
Extract it to sdk-tools folder.
Open terminal, cd to sdk-tools directory.
Hold volume plus down on phone. Hit power button on fastboot option.
Plug in phone to computer. It should say fastboot usb on phone screen now. If not, install htc drivers.
Go to terminal. Type "fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should see some stuff happen on computer screen, phone will reboot.
Do that then report back.

I'm doomed. I was able to flash CWM this way, although it didn't help me at all. But I tried to flash the boot img and it didn't work. Didn't seem to recognize the command.
I'm cdma s-on? So basically you relocked and flashed an RUU and then relocked?
try to relock and flash with RUU it will work
At first when you were unable to boot back to phone rom, you should have went into recovery and flash the update.zip located in the sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom.
Anyway try to flash back to viperrom again then boot your recovery via fast boot since you are not s-off. And flash the update.zip from the phone rom folder. If everything fails just relock your bootloader and use the ruu.exe and you should be fine.

The command is: fastboot flash boot c:\(navigate to the sdk map with boot.img)\boot.img
For instance. for me it's c:\Users\(my name)\boot.img
Because i have my sdk and boot.img in my User map.
I believe boot manager creates the files for the second rom on the sd card. maybe thats why the D.I.R.T rom is loading.. My advice, try a different sdcard and see if the viper rom starts (you still might have to flash the boot.img via adb because of s-on)
I have no idea where the files for second rom are created so maybe if someone else could help out here. Then it should be a simple matter of deleting the second rom from the sd card and then go ahead and flash your viper rom.

Im not the best at development and relatively inexperienced... I desperately need help. Please.

Have it named PH98IMG.zip(watch your filenames, be careful not to name it PH98IMG.zip.zip). But first try reunlocking again and see if you get boot. If you at least get boot animation that tells me you have a working boot partition. If not then you would need to reflash a boot.img. If you are adamant about gaining root, you could have just flashed a custom rom after flashing Amon RA + a data wipe along with proper boot.img in fastboot.

Simple steps I used when I was in an HTC boot loop.
1. Relocked and installed the stock ruu.
2. Unlocked and flashed the recovery partition using fast boot flash recovery recovery.img (name of your recovery image you want to use.)
3. Used recovery to install su.
4. Profit.
You can also use fast boot to install asop boot images. But for now if you want root use steps 1-4. It worked for me when I borked the heck out of entire phone. ( I had no recovery even after fastboot flashing the recovery partition.)

Done that several times.. even tried different sd cards and different new downloads.. still doesn't boot up.. ruu flashes just one pass only very quickly in under 2-3mins..
Not recognizing fastboot at all?
