I have searched and found some answers but jumping around from post to post isn't helping me at all. I already rooted and flashed adrenaline rom to my phone. Yesterday i downloaded a rom and tried to flash it via the phone. now im stuck on the white HTC screen and i cant get off it. i cant install any rom and dont know what to do. i cant access any any backup rom.
Can anyone help Thanks
More details please. S-ON? Bootloader lock status? Firmware version? What rom were you trying to flash?
can you boot into hboot manually by pulling battery > putting the battery back in >holding the volume down button + power? This should boot you back to hboot. Once in hboot you should be able to access your recovery and wipe flash etc.

are you s-on or s-off also what firmware are you on? I assume you're on ics to have been able to boot adrenaline successfully.

sounds like your boot.img is not being flashed. Since you are s-on you have to do that. I'm not sure if the roms you have tried to flash do that automatically or not but take a closer look at how it is supposed to be flashed. In the old days the rom would create a ph98img.zip file and you would flash it in bootloader...OR you would use fastboot flash boot boot.img to accomplish the same thing. Make sure you are wiping before flashing.

if you are still s-on you will need to flash the kernel for the rom, the installer wont do it for you. what ever rom you are using, please download the correct kernel.

While trying to restore my Rezound to Stock, I was able to Relock the bootloader but then I haven't been able to get past the Hboot or Fastboot screens to load the ROM. I can't get to recovery or anything. I've tried loading the recovery by using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". For some reason it fails. I have the recovery file in the same place as the fastboot file. I'm not sure why it doesn't work. What should I do next, been trying for hours now to get a ROM to boot up... Thanks for your help!

you cant flash a recovery file while the bootloader is locked.
Are you on the latest OTA? ICS Leak?
You probably don't have the correct kernel installed. Coming from ICS to GB I'm assuming?

You need to unlock again before flashing a recovery

Thanks! It's working now...
Thanks guys! I just had to unlock again and the phone booted up fine! Now I just have to find where I went wrong trying to go back to stock. I believe I may have the wrong "tools" in my root folder?
Go into hboot and type in everything starting at the top. With this info we can help you further.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
If you want to go back to stock, you can lock the bootloader and RUU. You'll have to use whatever version your firmware is currently on (so if you flashed the ICS firmware, you would have to use that RUU, if you're on older firmware, flash whatever GB one you're on).
Edit: You can flash to a newer RUU too, obviously, you just won't be able to go backwards again later.
If you have a custom boot image (kernel) or recovery (I think) then the stock locked hboot will have a ***SECURITY WARNING*** and will not allow you to boot. You can still RUU from this state. Unlocking the bootloader will allow you to boot. I believe you cannot RUU from an unlocked bootloader, but I don't remember for sure.

I was in the process of rooting the phone.... the bootloader unlock process was simple enough but when i download the Hasoon2000 tool kit things started getting more complicated i flashed the recovery(TWRP 2.1.0) and pressed the permanent root option.
after it did its thing i could not find the SuperSU.zip file anywhere to flash it so i rebooted the phone and after going around for hours through forums i found some people saying to do a full wipe and that should fix the issue.
so i did but i think it deleted all my stock files from factory so now my phone is stuck at the HTC white screen when booting up and no matter what i try doing it isnt flashing anything to try and get it to boot up fully.....
i am not all that knowledgeable on fixing these issues if possible i would appreciate any help.
thanks :laugh:

If you did a Full wipe and deleted the system, then yes, your device won't boot. What happens when you try to flash something? (Do you get an error, etc.) If no progress is made there, boot into fastboot and run your device's RUU.
Hey guys,

After following the HTCDEV.com-Method (and installing revolutionary) i tried to install a rom (LeeDrOiD 3D 5.4).

Sadly we still get the white HTC Screen.
Any Ideas?
Did you make a backup? #1 rule when flashing
What recovery are you using?
Be sure to wipe all partitions before you flash
Also the Rom thread should give you requirements..ie hboot and such

Sadly i did not do a backup.
The leedroid loading icon actuallY shows for a second before the phone restarts.
My next Guess would be To install the gingerbread stock Rom. I will try that when i get home.
Any other ideas?
If youre s on, your choices are limited to stock based roms for the most part.
I have read a few posts about smartflash and flashing boot.IMG through fastboot, but I am s off and have personally never needed to do that.
So yes, start by flashing stock, to get you running.

Ever get it going? I have a cdma version with sprint that has a clean esn and working board but f'ed up lcd/digitizer. If your bricked for real or wanna just swap out boards then this will work great for you. And fyi its Eng Hboot 1.04 SOFF with revolutionary tool. was an original 1.40 hboot before the whole dev unlock crap that doesnt work for sh*t. my post about it is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282485 you can get at me with a PM if your interested.

Go to mwakious 3d rom thread. All step by step instructions are given their with bootloader. Use 4ext recovery to flash this rom. It should work 100%
Hi! I have a phone with an unlocked bootloader, S-ON, that I am trying to get back to 100% stock. I have the 3.15.651.16 RUU, but for some reason, it will not detect my phone, without or without HTC Sync installed.
I simply flashed a stock unrooted ROM and its kernel via my custom recovery, but now I am unable to receive OTAs due to my custom recovery. I see two solutions here:
1) Use another RUU to wipe everything. I would prefer to do this, but since HTCRUU was taken down, I cannot find anywhere that has an RUU for this phone.
2) Flash the stock recovery.img via fastboot. This is fine, but I also am unable to locate this file anywhere.
Could anybody point me in the right direction?
Just extract the stock recovery.img from here *edit: stock recovery.img was not included. Just search over in Capt Throwbacks firmware thread in Android development.
As for the ruu I know there is a 3.15 floating around here somewhere...
Edit2 (cause I'm bored): here is the 3.15 ruu http://unlimited.io/downloads/dirtyracun/jewel/209/RUU.zip

Get into Twrp
Press mount
Press usb storage
load a rom( I suggest MeanBean as it has a kernel installer for s-on folks) from your PC to your phone
once loaded unmount usb storage
go back to the main screen and press advanced wipe, make sure delvik cache/cache/data/system are checked
swipe to wipe
press install navigate to the rom you just loaded(read the OP for s-on install instructions)
once done flashing it should ask you to reboot
once it settles for a bit go back to twrp and MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
enjoy
Thanks
I am Attempting Now....
... Phone is working great! Thank you for your help bigdaddy.
My phone was acting up by randomly shutting off....so I decided to do a factory reset. Sort of knowing and not knowing what to do I went into twrp recovery and not only doing a factory wipe, I wiped the internal sd as well. This got me stuck on the HTC white screen.
As of now...I'm on the boot screen where I have this...

I've also tried fastboot boot boot.img as well but no luck there.
Also tried installing the ph98img.zip and flashing that in twrp (version 2.5.0.0) and that failed to (error flashign zip /sdcard/ph98img.zip)

Originally I tried the RUU ICS 3.14 , but the hboot was older.
Tried the latest PH98IMG ICS 4.03 and then the firmware and loaded it to the sd card so it would go thru hboot. I did lock the bootloader. Then loaded the boot image. But still go the white/htc splash screen.
when back to the bootloader screen, when hboot ran, it kept saying the image wasn't on file.
when in recovery, tried wiping dalvik cache and everything, sometimes it would fail...something about eemc not mounting.
Either I'm not doing something right (most likely) or something else is the matter with the phone.
