I using unbranded device. The device is HTCDev unlocked, HBOOT - 1.49.0018, CWM v4.0.1.4 and it is S-ON.
In order to install a custom ROM i used to wipe "data/factory reset", "cache partition", "Dalvik Cache" and "Battery Stats", then i was copying the boot.img with CMD (with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"), then put the new ROM in my formatted SD card, and install it through Revolutionary CWM.
Now, few months later, i tried to install new ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507616 ), using the same procedures, but after the installation, when i reboot the device it starts loading the boot animation and then freezes. I tried a few other ROMs and the result was the same. Even i tried to install the previous ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647674 ), which was on the phone until yesterday, the same thing happens, the animation freezes and i have to take the battery out. My question is can the problem be from the boot.img or from the method that i am using. If the problem is there, will it be useful to install the method "4EXT Recovery". Having in mind that i installed HBOOT - 1.49.0018, CWM v4.0.1.4 which way is more easier and safer.
Thank you in advance!

I have the htc Flyer and i flyer dextersjb rom after flashing it i flashde the boot.img from my computer manualy(Cause i have the bootloader unlockde) after i booted it passed through the splash screen sawed the boot animation for 3 seconds and it rebooted. Again it was in splash screen boot animation for 3 sec and rebooted itself and agai again agian. i tried in recovery got threw the splash screen saw the recovery for 3 secs and just like when it was 'Booting" please help. I have left is fastboot mode at least then it is not rebooting. Help pleaseeee
i have the same problem
Did you factor reset, wipe Dalvik and wipe cache (all are best done in CWM) before flashing the ROM?
You extracted the boot.img from the ROM zip that you flashed (Dexters JB) right?
Try to get into recovery, and wipe Dalvik and cache again, and reboot. Or wipe from adb/fastboot.
What Android version were you on originally (stock)? Was it Gingerbread or Honeycomb? If you are on the Gingerbread hboot, you can't run HC, ICS, or JB ROMs. You have to be on the HC hboot for any of those (HC, ICS, JB)
fastboot
Hi redpoint, I cant find my device in adb (device not found). Can only get the flyer into fastboot mode with no recovery or boot working

So... I got my HTC One today and it's been a very difficult experiance. I am quite a newbie when it comes to rooting and such but I managed to unlock my bootloader (with the exception that it shows TAMPERED at the top) then proceded to flash TWRP through fastboot. TWRP wouldn't mount /data, /sdcard, etc... it wouldn't work. A little bit of searching led me to flash CWM instead and that seemed to work.
In CWM I wiped data/factory reset, then flashed SuperSU, then flashed CleanROM, then flashed BulletKernel, and finally reboot. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop and when I go to my bootloader and try to enter recovery it reboots, shows the CWM logo then reboots my phone. I tried re-flashing CWM via fastboot to no avail.
TL;DR: Phone is in bootloop and won't even boot into recovery
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank you!
EDIT: Had a feeling it was due to the fact I didn't clear cache/dalvik cache before rebooting. I erased my cache via fastboot and voila it booted into recovery!

Boot into bootloader. Then do fastboot erase cache. Then try rebooting. If you can get into recovery but not ROM, reflash the ROM. If you can't even get into recovery still, try reflashing recovery. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Then try getting into recovery and reflashing.

I am have some issues booting any rom, i hav an unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.93.0003, emmc-boot and s-off with cwm touch recovery. I have tried with both speedrom and android revolution roms. They both instaled but they never boot up pass their boot animation screen, plz help
1st flash 4ext touch recovery using hasoon's AIO toolkit for amaze.
2) wipe /format
- wipe chache + delvik cache.
- wipe all partitions ( except sdcard )
3) install from zip.
- choose file to flash.
And then your Rom will work fine...
Hit thanks if I helped you !!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Greetings from Florida,
Don't use Clockworkmod recovery, it's bad.
Use Hasoon's toolkit to flash 4ext. It's much better.
You also need to be Super CID and have the ICS firmware installed.
Once you have that settled, go into 4ext recovery by either holding volume down and power, and choosing recovery, or reboot from hasoon's toolkit's menu.
Choose format all partitions and then flash either ARHD or SpeedRom. I also made some Roms that you might want to try out.
Please press thanks if this helps.
Best regards.
Wipe that sucker!
Then update to ics!
Then do everything you did, all over again.
well I was flashing MIUI V5 UNIVERSAL - v. 3.7.12 for the 3vo and it got stuck in a bootloop. to try and fix it I tried to restore a backup and that rom played a little of the boot animation but then gets stuck in a bootloop. I also tried to wipe/format everything but, that didn't work. If a logcat would help i would appreciate a link on how to do that without being able to boot. I can boot to 4ext recovery. The cause could be that while flashing I selected the file to flash, I selected a file that didn't finish downloading. Thanks in advance for any help
Also if it matters my original rom was negalite blurom.

I ran into your same problem today.
At the time my phone was on latest sprint firmware, ICS coolrom (latest rom and kernel) with hboot 1.58 unlocked s-off.
The steps I did preparing to install MIUI was
1) wipe data/factory reset from 4EXT
2) format all (except sdcard)
3) Install MIUI > chose mirage kernal
4) rebooted
after reboot it was stuck at the logo, at least I thought it was, let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Pulled the battery and tried steps 1-4 again.
Kept getting bootloop at that point. Boot splash -> logo -> reboot.
Next I tried flashing the latest mirage kernel from 4ext.
No luck, same issue.
Tried repeating steps 1-4 again.
No luck stuck in bootloop.
At that point I tried to run recovery from a backup I knew was working.
Wiped all data and format all -> selected recovery from 4ext.
Result: still boot loop.
At that point I tried changing bootloader to 1.58.58 jbear. and wiping/formatting all and trying recovery again from known working cool ics backup.
Result: still bootloop.
Switched back to 1.58 bootloader and tried fresh install of CoolICS rom. (I always wipe all data and format all before any rom change.)
Result: still bootloop.
At this point I was getting frustrated but I had an idea that the MIUI install when selecting mirage kernel may have messed up the partition size for the kernel since the mirage kernel states it must be flashed from the flash gui app first to resize the boot partition.
Next I downloaded pacman rom and attempted that install.
result: could not install due to wrong bootloader.
Next I downgraded bootloader to 1.50.50 jbear.
Wiped everything and retried pacman rom.
Install success, before starting the reboot from recovery, I received a message that the boot image has changed and will make a backup/format/flash the new boot image.
upon reboot I was able to successfully boot into pacman rom.
At that point I tried to wipe all again and install CoolICS rom again.
result: bootloop, but probably because of bootloader version. Did not fully test it as at this point I just wanted a working phone again and wanted to try out MIUI.
Rebooted to recovery and wiped everything again.
Installed MIUI using stock kernel option. This time on reboot I let it sit at the rom logo without touching anything. I think it restarted once on its own.
Result: Success. Phone working normally now. such a headache I am just leaving it as is for now.

well I went to go try and boot P.A.C. and my phone just booted normally. So thanks for the help
Hello, my phone was running slowly so I decided to go back to a previous backup and run very few apps. I restore a Nandroid backup and when I did the phone told me an update was available, I tried to install it but it just kept restarting to recovery and I had to reboot into System manually and it never applied the update.
Someone told me I needed a stock recovery, I thought Well, since I'm flashing something, why not flash a JB file too? I went and downloaded a JB rom, flashed that and the recovery but it didn't boot (probably because my hboot is 1.20) so I tried a different rom, basically I tried different combinations but somehow nothing seemed to work, and now I can't boot my phone. I've read that you can brick your phone if you wipe the EMMC, I don't remember doing that but I tried so many things that I might have wiped it without noticing. Is there a way to verify the EMMC? I can boot into recovery with fastboot, but when I install any rom, it just doesn't boot, it gets stuck in the first HTC screen with the HTC logo and those red letters I got after rooting (this rom is property of HTC...don't distribute outside without written permission...etc etc).
So, do you think this can be an EMMC problem, or just a kernel problem? I tried flashing the boot.img from my Nandroid backup (actually it was called boot.emmc.win but I renamed it to boot.img following some instructions I found online) but even with the Nandroid backup that worked before the phone would not start.
If this is indeed an EMMC problem, is there a way to fix it?
Thank you very much.
You also restored your nandroid backup from stock? As your hboot is 1.20 (which is quite old btw), you cannot flash JB kernels to boot partition so JB ROMs won't work without a workaround. So try to completely restore your stock nandroid backup or else you could try running a RUU if your CID is compatible.

Yes I read that you need at least hboot 1.25 to flash JB, that's why after flashing JB and seeing it wasn't starting, I tried to go back to my old ICS backup, but none of them work now, I have a Nandroid backup that was working before,here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Flash my old boot.emmc.win changing the name to boot.img and running "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
2. boot into TWRP-2.4.3.0 and do a Factory Reset, followed by a Restore of my backup, which restores System, Data and Boot, and gives me a "Restore Complete - Successful" message.
3. Install SuperSU right before rebooting
4. Reboot
After that the phone just gets stuck on the first HTC screen, the one with the red letters. I don't know much about android, but I think I'm following all the steps correctly, to restore my old Nandroid backup. Or am I doing something wrong?
My CID is ORANG309, I got a 4.0.1 RUU (at least that's what the person said) and I'm going to try to recover that one. It's not a ZIP file, it's a folder with files inside, so i'll probably have to restore it as a normal Nandroid.
Try flashing the system partition as well before restoring your backup.

You mean formatting the /system partition? I try that too, but it doesn't seem to work. Now that I was into TWRP, I saw the Wipe buttons and there is one called "Wipe internal storage" that I might have pressed before, it kinda rings a bell. So assuming I did press it, does that wipe the EMMC? Is there a way to recover it?
I've been trying to flash using Dumlock because it doesn't seem to work from the normal recovery. Here's then what I do.
1. Boot into normal TWRP recovery.
2. Click Advanced -> HTC Dumlock
3. Inside, I click "Reflash recovery" which supposedly reflashes the recovery into boot.
3. Tap "Reboot" and "System". This should reboot into the Recovery in the boot partition, but it gets stuck in a reboot loop.
So I can't boot into the recovery that should be in the boot part. And now when I enter into normal recovery, whenever I restore a Nandroid, right after doing it if I choose "Reboot", it says "No OS Installed!"

Yeah, that doesn't work. I restore the Nandroid and then when I go to reboot, TWRP says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot"
Update: Using my old Nandroid, I tried this:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
All of them worked, except for the "data", but the phone does not work. Tried doing the same, then flashing data from inside of TWRP recovery, same thing. Phone is stuck on the HTC screen and it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Tried Dumlock, but it doesn't seem to be writing the Recovery image to boot. I even went and copied a recovery.img file into "/sdcard/twrp/dumlock/<device>/boot/boot.img" and from the TWRP Dumlock menu, tried to "Restore original boot" to see if Dumlock would assume that "boot.img" was the file to flash into the recovery, but when I restart it's just the HTC screen. I'm using TWRP 2.4, and renamed TWRP 2.6 as "boot.img" because the difference in version number would let me know from where was the recovery being booted, but I can't flash into twrp 2.6, aka the fake boot.img.
Tried downloading some RUUs for Spain, but the recovery process failed.
So is it safe to assume that this phone is bricked? I have S-ON, like all other Desire X devices (I think) so can you brick a phone with S-ON? Is there a way to restore the original stock rom? Or at least a way that I can remove the red letters on the boot animation, the ones that say "This build is for development purposes" so that I can take it to the store and hopefully they won't notice that my bootloader is unlocked and maybe they will fix it under the warranty?
thanks
Nevermind, I flashed a ICS Nandroid with the adequate recovery (nexusrecovery) and it works now

Are you using htc desire S I'm also stuck at the HTC screen, I did HTCdev unlocking. On the recovery mode it shows unlocked, but I did not notice that S-ON was still on. Where can I find an ICS Nandroid of htc desire s? Thanks
Take a look at the HTC Desire S forum, this one is just for HTC Desire S. if you don't find it, ask there...
