I was rooted on MeanROM, and from TWRP I cleared the cache and delvic cache and did a factory wipe, then tried to install the cm10 nightly build, but it said failed, so I cleared and wiped again and tried installing the FreshEVO ROM that I had on it before the MeanROM, it never finished installing, just froze after a while. then TWRP restarted then went into the white HTC "quietly brilliant" screen with the red disclaimer and stuck there. When i hold the power down, it just reboots back to this screen. I cant get it into recovery or bootloader or anywhere but this. My computer isn't recognizing the phone, I tried to adb to it from cmd but its not showing up. I don't think i had the latest hboot or whatever on it, it's been probably two months since i first rooted it. any help would be great, please and thank you. I'm heading to work but i'll check this on my breaks and answer any questions i can about what ive done. I was about to trade the phone for an s3 this saturday, but im sure he wont want it like this! THANK YOU.
I'm just gonna say this and don't take it offensively... That is the risk you took rooting your phone.. if you can get into bootloader, try loading a current ruu on there and see If that works.

No offense taken, I understood the risks, and I accept the consequences, which is why I'm fairly calm and not freaking out. I'm going to read more into RUU's on my break, as I'm not completely sure how to do that. Does the computer have to recognize my device for that? I would think so. Is there a trick to getting from this white HTC screen back to TWRP other than trying to reboot or pwr+vol down? Everything just keeps going back here. It wont even turn off without the battery draining.. I'll keep reading on my break, any other helpful comments are definitely welcome. Thanks.
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds and the lights on the capacitive buttons will blink. As soon as the screen goes black wait about half a second then hold volume down and power to get into bootloader then go into recovery.
Hope that helps you. That's how I've always gotten back into recovery when I have a bad flash.

This is correct and works. Couldn't boot after trying to install Chainfie 3D drivers but got to recovery this way.

did you ever get this going? Sounds like from what i was seeing you got into your BL finally. I would try reinstalling TWRP like the second part of the OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794867 and then select reboot to recovery from the bootloader ot the button method. If you get back into twrp restore the last working rom setup you had which sounds like meanrom. If it works come back and let us know.

Hey guys, on my lunch break, i got it working! I couldn't get it to go into recovery last night for the life of me, but i tried this morning on my way to work and it worked just fine like it should. For some reason none of my roms would install though other than the jewel stock of the latest update with root that i had on here. It worked and I'm good to go. Thanks for the help though! Anyone know why the roms that i installed before are falling Everette i try to install them now? I always wipe and restore first..

I'm willing to bet that you are not S-OFF, and on Hboot 1.15 or higher, and that was the issue when you tried to install CM10. Make sure you read the instructions for flashing CM10, because you have to do something special to flash a kernel when you are S-ON. Now, as far as the old roms not being able to flash, it may be that they were based on the original 1.13 software version with the 1.13 kernel, and it won't let you flash over your current kernel because the version is older. Essentially, if you are S-ON, you can't flash a kernel unless it matches or is a newer version than the one you have. Of course, you can follow one of the many guides on how to flash boot (kernel) with S-ON to get around this.

Wow yes this all made perfect sense! I didn't think about my old roms not being compatible, and i also didn't realize i needed s-off for cm10. I have a bad habit of thinking i can just throw a zip on my card and flash it and it will magically work perfectly lol.. This kind of thinking is what gets me into trouble!

S-OFF info is here, but because you are having this issue, you probably have HBoot 1.15 or higher, which means you can't achieve S-OFF until a new exploit is found.

You dont have to have s-off though like he said for cm-10 you just need an extra step or two. I dont blame you for trading it in I did the same. Except I am going back to the Gnex.

Alright i need help badly. I consider myself an advanced noob in installing roms and kernals on a phone. I have the rezound. I unlocked it about a week about and went through the step by step instructions. I installed ziggys kernal. I was getting some bootloops but not to many until this morning. My phone kept bootlooping. I would take the battery out and put it back and it would do it again. I tried wiping the date cache and dalvik. Nothing. I then formatted all to ext3. After i did that it said i need to install a rom. I try to restart my phone and it just stays on the HTC screen. I tried to do the factory restore. Nothing. I have to put my sd card in after i get into recovery because when i go to the bootloader screen the HBOOT does something and then asks me if i want to do an update. I tried and hit yes and it did it then reboots but nothing. When i hit no it just wants me to reboot my phone, which does nothing for me. As it is right now my phone wont load. it just stays on the HTC screen. HELP please

The other half of the problem is that it sounds like he formatted ext3 and wiped his ROM. So, he'd have to reboot back into recovery and restore a backup or drop a new ROM on the phone via USB.
Grab the RUU and start all fresh again.

This is one of the reasons I have not tried to hack this device. Although I may unlock/root my Rezound I'm not in a hurry to. It's really a great device. Just too expensive for me to maybe mess up. Especially since its our own fault if we do. Can't blame the carrier/manufacturer for not paying to fix/replace either. Hopefully you get it fixed soon. I know I wouldn't want to have to go through all that either.

You need to reflash the kernel in order to get wifi to work.

The answer should be in the CleanRom thread but as far as I know if you flashed Ziggy's Kernel, you should reflash it and that should solve the problem.

It shouldn't. You can't brick with unlock S-On. If you can get to HBOOT, you are fine. And there is no way to overwrite HBOOT yet.

And does it need to be said that this phone has been out for less than a month? Maybe we should give the devs a chance to work out the kinks before we start flashing.
I *really* miss WiFi tethering that I used to do with my DInc, but I am not about to root in the first two weeks of ownership before I see good, dependable feedback from the community.

Not trying to knock you but I don't see the point in waiting. Flashing a rom is fairly straightforward and even flashing kernels is for the most part. I had an Incredible prior to this and I am absolutely in love with my phone...that's why I read how to do things properly and learn from others mistakes.
Take the plunge! It's great on the otherside

There is a wifi tether app that doesn't require root. Koush is the dev. I tried it and it worked. That was the only thing I would have needed root for also. You should be able to find it if you search for it. If not, I'll find the link.

Ok, I looked around and cannot find an answer that works for me for this issue. I am wondering if it has to do with my phone having S-Off? I am most likely wrong, but i have to know whats going on. No matter what I try, I cannot get My Rezound to go from GB to ICS, ANY ICS BASED ROM for that matter. I checked MD5, Tried with battery door both removed and attached, with or without the SIM card inserted into the phone. The phone boots up almost 100%. I get a message saying "Updating Android" and it says its updating or doing something to 160 apps, the system then reboots, when it gets past the 4G screen again, It says that the boot was completed, I have no signal, i checked on the service type and its correct, tried a factory reset, and still nothing, the system just continues to boot loop over and over again, and when it boots up i cannot get past the Activation screen where it says that the phone is trying to contact Verizon to Auto Activate. I can go back to GB easily, and that works %100. Any and all information would be useful, Only reason why i think this might have to do with S-Off is because my first Rezound was S-On and worked just fine going to ICS, while this new one has S-Off and is just not cutting it.
If you have s-off the rom image could contain a radio update. That could be getting you...also data is off by default in some ICS ROMs.

so what would be recommended in this type of situation? I know its not the data being off thats causing the issue, because when i boot up i dont have a signal at all, and the lock screen instead of showing VZW banner it says No Signal. Would the Radio being an issue also cause boot loop issues?
Did you put the battery cover on the phone ?
Edit saw that u did sorry ...
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
Only thing i can think of is that the ICS rom you flashed has data off automatically, and requires you to keep pressing the home button until it passes the activation screen.
Also make sure your battery cover is on like yojoe600 said, your antenna is connected to the cover and without it you will have no signal.

this is just sooooooooo irritating. all that i have tried, this is kinda depressing. One interesting thing that i did come across though. When i flashed the BAMF GB, and tried to go from rom to rom to rom, i didnt get any MainVer error.... Dont know if thats just because S-Off allows you to go from one to another freely, or if its just not taking these updates.....
S-off has no mainvar issues. Try putting the gb radio into a PB zip or whatever the resound uses and flash that and boot to see of you get data then

On a side note, how would one go about flashing a different recovery.img on an S-Off device, do i have to adb it, or can i do it on the fly? If so, how?

what you mean more info, my original post was pretty clear, dont mean to be snappy or anything, i could try to give more info maybe. I've tried all the "fixes" and so far nothing works. ALL AND ANY ICS BASED ROMS are not staying stable on my phone. They get stuck in what i think is the data bootloop, but i cannot access the dial pad other than through the Emergency dial pad, i input the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing comes up, i try without the battery cover, and without the SIM card as well (Also have tried Various combinations of SIM and Battery Cover removals and inclusions). The device has S-Off, and is Unlocked with DevUnlock, and has Perm Root.
Like I stated in my initial post, the leak may contain a radio update that your phone(and the network) isn't ready for. We wouldn't get that update because our radios are locked and only a signed update from HTC would install it. I'd say back down to GB and wait it out...or post in the thread of the ROM maker and ask them about the radio.

When I say more info, I mean don't describe every symptom... tell us specifically what you did. Every ICS ROM is unique, like for example I last installed newtoroot's Senseless 4.0.3 ROM. In order to use it, I had to flash a ICS Kernel, I used the fastboot method. Then I could flash the ROM using AmonRa Recovery, and it would boot and operate effectively.
That's the kind of specifics we need, so we can follow your steps and identify possible error points, if any.

Definetly more descriptive lol thank you for the breakdown infact. In that case, last one i tried what the ICS Sense Redefined, and I tried to use the fastboot method for the Included Kernel as well, but that didnt work at all, what ICS Kernel did you flash to get it to work? a Pre-Packaged one? When installing, I did a full wipe (Both the Amon Ra Factory Reset option and the SuperWipe that is in the Dev Forum) installed the Rom, went into the Bootloader and did ADB CMD of fastboot flash boot boot.img and thats about it.

That is the one I used. If you're having issues with fastboot flashing the kernel, you may want to throw the PH98IMG.zip onto your external sd-card and boot into HBOOT then hit vol up to install it that way

ok, i'll give this a shot really quick and do through ext. sd. thanks for the link btw, you've been extremely helpful. let ya know how this goes for me.
I unlocked and rooted my HTC Rezound using hasoon2000's all-in-one tookit v2.0 and was running cleanROM.
I am currently in a 'bootloop'. The phone will boot to the first white HTC screen without the red writing on the bottom and then it will turn completely black and will not go any further. I can boot in the hboot and recover AmonRa 3.15.
I factory reset the internal storage and nothing happened. I then reset the sd card and still no luck whatsoever.
I cannot get the phone to recognize on my laptop to relock the bootloader and am afraid verizon might notice..
I shaking and sweating a little bit, i don't want to be without a phone..
any help would be fantastic.
I would like to know how to get out of this bootloop and possibly reset back to factory settings.

I unlocked and rooted my HTC Rezound using hasoon2000's all-in-one tookit v2.0 and was running cleanROM.
I am currently in a 'bootloop'. The phone will boot to the first white HTC screen without the red writing on the bottom and then it will turn completely black and will not go any further. I can boot in the hboot and recover AmonRa 3.15.
I factory reset the internal storage and nothing happened. I then reset the sd card and still no luck whatsoever.
I cannot get the phone to recognize on my laptop to relock the bootloader and am afraid verizon might notice..

going to need more info first:
1. does it say you have an unlocked bootloader?
2. you will need to take your sd card out of the phone, plug it into a pc, and download a rom, and place it on the sd card.
3. which hboot are you running at this point in time.
Will it boot if you take the sim card out? Try that

maybe try reflashing
I seem to be having the exact same problem- I can reboot into recovery and flash recovery and/or a new rom, boot into bootloader and flash boot.img, but still get stuck at white htc screen.
I had just finished a 45 minute tech call to Verizon, put the phone down for about 15 min, picked it back up to unlock and it froze. Would not respond to adb commands, finally pulled battery to reboot and bootlooping at white htc screen. Flashed both BAMF 2.1, earlier ICS backup, and factory reset from recovery.
Anyone have a suggestion as to next step? Flash RUU (I did update to 3.xx) again?
Thanks for any thoughts
Stuck at white HTC screen
I rooted my Rezound and flashed Amon. I made the mistake of trying to flash a Cyanogen ROM and now I'm stuck at the HTC white screen. I have no idea what to do from here. I can get into reecovery and fastboot. What are my options? Thanks for any help!
It sounds like there is no kernel. Try flashing sebastians kernel if ICS, Incredikernel if GB.

Thank you SO much! I'm going onto day 2 without my phone and it isn't fun! I flashed the kernel for Cyanogen as well as the ROM but clearly that didn't end well. Where can I find these kernels?
EDIT: Found Incredikernel. Will let you know if it works.

Sooner or later you should S-Off and rock some ICS. Its really not as hard as it looks, I promise.

Thats what we are all here for. S-Off makes flashing so much easier since it actually flashes the kernel the same time you flash the rom and when you make a backup it will actually save the kernel with the backup as well. Well worth it.

And that is why I love the Android community so much. I've never been left "out in the cold" when I had a problem rooting or flashing ROMs, themes, etc.
Good to know about S-Off... I'm all about making the process of flashing easier. I'll take a look at S-Off tomorrow after work. What are the best instructions in your opinion?

I just used the unlimited.io site. The instructions are clear, and it shows a video of the wire trick, which is neat.
If you need help, just ask. There are all kinds of knoledgable folks around. Hell, I'm usually trolling around looking for questions to answer!
My job is that boring lol.
[edit] if you have it, use a back up sdcard for S-Off. The sdcard gets wiped in the process.

The only ROM I have flashed was Cyanogen.... flashed it from my SD card.
This is what I did that ended with me being bootlooped in the first place:

EDIT: Let me guess, it's an ICS build and I'd need a patch to run it since I'm on GB firmware?
Flash one of the GB Sense ROMs, it should straighten everything right out.

Excellent. I'm looking for ti now. I'll let you know how it goes.
So now on my evo, every rom i flash gets stuck in bootloop. Ive tried Meanrom,cm10.1,miui, and even the stock roms like JB 4.1. At first my backups would work, but that is no longer the case. Im not sure what else to include. Yes ive factory reset and wiped all cache. Yes i made sure the roms werent corrupt.
I tried using boot img flasher but that did not work.
I have no idea what else there is try.

Maybe downgrade/upgrade your recovery. Some phones are having issues with newer or older twrp releases.
Good luck man

I would try upgrading to a newer version

Try a fresh install wipe cache/dalvik cache /factory reset/system then try to install the rom

I just dug myself deeper into the hole it seems, Last thing in the world i want to do right now is have to pay lots of money to fix my mess
EDIT: I was able to get TWRP working again. Phew. Still have a alot of progress to make
ANOTHER EDIT: Out of some miracle, wiping everyhting for the 034612093612903126th time and then flashing worked, Superjelly booted and everything... Oh my god im relieved.

I'm having basically the exact same issues you had. Do you mind shedding some light my way? I've been in a soft brick for a while now. Although I almost had a rom go through, until my touchscreen was unresponsive (i think due to my bootloader showing S-ON and not S-OFF). I can access the bootloader and TWRP. I have no backups (this is my first time rooting and flashing, in case you haven't noticed). I don't know how to take the S-OFF or recover the old Sense 4 stock os. At this point i really would just like to use my phone. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Check PM
There were two main roms I wanted to try after I finally S-OFF'd my phone yesterday. Hatka Supreme 1.1.0 and Carbon. Neither of these worked and I'm glad that I backed up my S-OFF rooted stock rom. Hatka Supreme, the guy states its best to use Beast Mode kernal with the rom, which I flashed after I installed the room, and it just randomly reboots at the splash screen/a few seconds after getting into Android, so I restored my stock and everything worked fine. Next, I tried Carbon, and it just sat there at the carbon flash screen for like 20 minutes, so again, I had to restore to stock. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a difference between Original Android Development and Android Development? Should I be looking at the original or what? I'm really lost, I'm going to try another rom, hopefully someone replies to this before it finishes downloading. Thanks for the help.
EDIT: I'd rather just sit and wait to see if someone replies before I waste time downloading another rom...any help would be appreciated.

It's probably your recoverys fault. On my last DNA I had nothing but failures. Once it took at least 30 times to get a Rom installed. Never solved the issue on that phone. I just soffed my new DNA yesterday, installed the newest cwm touch and flashed 4 different roms with no problem. Try re-flashing cwm touch.

Yes, still the same thing, I'm not saying I didn't do that the first time though, that's like the basics of installing a rom.

Do you think its TWRP's fault? After I found out there was no way to mount USB storage in TWRP I wanted to switch to CWM, but sadly I don't know how.

You could use the goomanager from the play store or use fastbook flash recovery cwm.img
Edit: for the touch version of cwm fastboot is required.

I have canvas 2 running on suvi6 Jupiter rom i have some prob with this when i reboot some icon on home screen will disappear, i found that those apps which r installed on ext sd card its icon will disappear from home screen, but apps working in apps list, only icon from home screen disappeared.
Other problem is that while incoming a call i cannot see full picture of caller becoz half screen is black and half picture can be seen.

Sorry I was mistaken, goomanager installs twrp not cwm.
Fastboot is easy to use, I'm at work so I can't to a step by step til I get home later. You should be able figure it out but if not I will help when I get home.

I'm no expert, but when u flashed hatka, did u reboot into the system before flashing beast mode kernel? Flashing a kernel in the same recovery session is a no no. Also, beast mode is not compatible with carbon, fyi.

I did that the first time, and thats when I started experiencing it, so I figured that was the problem. So I restored to stock, and then just tried flashing the rom and booting, still same thing, rebooting every 5 seconds. Sometimes I'm able to get into settings, scroll up and down a few times, and then it reboots.
EDIT: If I remember correctly, I didn't even flash beast mode kernel after I flashed carbon.
