I installed amon ra and flashed to a different rom, but it did not work and i'm stuck on the htc splash screen, i want to go back to stock but i'm not sure how!!!
Download a stock RUU on your computer, then transfer it to your phone's memory card by using a micro card reader. Then boot up phone by holding down the volume down and power button. Let the stock RUU flash your phone

I need help. I was trying to restore a nand backup but my phone just powered down before it finished. I did a battery pull and it booted up, so I return to recovery to try and restore but I did a full wipe first as I didn't the first time... the phone powered off again during the restore. After another battery pull I can now only get into bootloader. What do I do?
Using TWRP
Yes my phone is charged.
Do you have a ROM to flash on SD card ? Make sure phone is not plugged in ,mine acts up if its plugged in what version of twrp?
No ROM on my SD card, and it wasn't on the charger or USB.
Not sure of the TWRP version but it was early, around when we got S-OFF.
do u have an sd adapter to put it in your pc. then throw a rom on there an put it back in your phone?
what about using a ruu?
I have had the same problem when trying to restore it is a known issue in the twrp thread I believe it is working in 1.3,also I would recommend always keeping at least 1 Rom zip for times like this .if you have a micro SD card adapter you can throw the card from the phone into the adapter and plug it into a computer to move the files,I believe there is also a way to do it through bootloader with the usb
Get into Hboot then you can mount your sd card to your computer. I think its the usb mount option. put a rom on the sd card, wipe and then flash, and your set .. Just look in the recovery or in the hboot for usb mount. You can still access the sd card when in recovery.No need to boot the phone, hope this helps let me know !
Do you have a micro sd card reader and copy the PCGimage.zip file back to your sd card to reflash trpw recovery in bootloader.
Another option is load trpw via fastboot usb.
If you can get recovery back then you should be able to rewipe or restore nand.
instuctions for both here

You can also load CWM via fasboot usb
Aznmode has the easiest approach, it should take just a few minutes to be back using your phone again.
Currently in recovery and flashing a ROM. I put a few files on the SD through USB toggle in recovery, but I flashed the newest TWRP zip first and couldn't get out of bootloader until putting my SD card in a reader to delete it.
I'm NOT going to try and restore my nand backup, starting fresh is better than possibly starting all this over again.
Am I backing up and restoring wrong? It seems pretty straight forward but I've never had trouble with CWR or Amon.
Just flash a ROM, reboot, make sure everything is working, then a nandroid.
I had a similar situation with that recovery. I ended up returning to stock, rerooting and flashing clockwork instead of Twrp recovery.

Ugh, now that I've reloaded everything I'm scared to do a backup/restore. I'll have to sleep on it, going to CWM for peace of mind is tempting as much as I'd prefer to give TWRP a try.
okay so here is the deal... i was running thunderstick my camera stopped working so i decided to restore to synergy. Once i did that through clockwork my phone never actually loaded up.
I hooking my phone up to the computer but cant do that because my phone stuck at htc white screen and dont have no pg1...zip thing on my sd card so when i go into bootloader there is nothing i can do i think.
So how can I get a ruu on my sd card so i can flash so i can fix my phone. I also tried restoring other roms that I had backed up in the past and still stuck at screen so if there is anyone that can help me i would appreciate. Thanks
If you have a usb to microSD card , you could just load the files directly on the card.
Get into recovery and flash a Rom. An ruu will cause you to lose root.
okay so I will decide to try both ideas. thanks guys
you can flash a rooted ruu here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29644922/Thunderbolt/Stock Rooted RUU/PG05IMG_stock.zip
now you have root.. i suspect your problem may be the last clockwork recovery 5.0.1.0 everytime i do a restore from it i have the same problem.
Same thing happening to me right now... DAMN IT....
plug in with USB,
at command prompt or from run
run this command
adb reboot bootloader
get in to recovery and mount your USB Storage
copy any RUU you like and reboot to recovery.
I'm pretty sure you can mount the SD-card to your computer in clockwork recovery too.

Hey All, I rooted tonight Via Revolutionary tool but now my phone won't boot.
Basically, I followed all the steps with the tool, Got root and Clockwork and installed the SU.
I rebooted and had a rooted phone.
I proceeded to install Rom Manager, and I backed up my Rom (Created a Nandroid backup I believe thats what it was).
I then downloaded CM7 (the latest one in the Rom Manager) and installed it.
The phone rebooted for about 10 minutes with that CM7 Boot animation looping. I took the battery out, held down the volume button and used Recovery to recover my nandroid backup from before.
Now I'm trying to reboot it and its stuck on the White screen with the HTC Logo just sitting there.
Really unsure what to do...
Edit: this is all kind of assuming you flashed the newest clockwork recovery after you d/l ROM manager ( version 5x of clockwork recovery)
Seeing as how your phone won't boot you will need an sdcard reader to do this. So assuming you have one or another phone with internet you can swap the card into:go [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179386]here[/url] and download the clockwork recovery version 4.0.1.5 and place it on the root of the sdcard. (not in any folders) rename the file to PG05IMG.zip EXACTLY and put the sdcard back in the thunderbolt. Now hold volume down plus power Untill the bootloader screen appears. (you may have to select bootloader from the list with the volume rocker and tap the power button to select it) once in the bootloader give it a minute and it will find the file and ask you to press volume up to update. Do it. When its done select reboot and then boot back into the bootloader and choose recovery. Now try restoring your backup. It should.work now. The problem is Clockwork recovery version 5.x is having issues right now with restoring backups.

Original problem of OP's CM7 install bootlooping was because he didn't wipe data/cache.
As for the white HTC screen it's hanging after restoring for some reason. People have reported this with CWR5 (if that's what you have) but I have been unable to reproduce it as of yet.
That said, it's probably only preventing that restore from booting. You should still be able to boot to hboot (pwr+VolDwn from an off state) and then select recovery at which point you can wipe data/cache and flash something from your sdcard. If you don't want to mess with an adapter to put something on your sdcard, you should still have CM7 on there. You said you used RomManager to download it so it should be in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download when you want to flash it.
Thanks so much! Since I couldn't get a quick response, I used an RUU and went back to complete stock S-OFF. Could you relink the clockwork recovery earlier version please? That link isn't working for me for some reason.
Thanks so much!!!!!!

^^^^^ Follow this to the T and you should be golden. Same thing was happening to me the other night and it all started after I updated to CWM 5.0.1.0
On another note after that debacle I switched to the unofficial TeamWin Recovery and have yet to have an issue. If you're interested you can flash it the same exact way as mentioned in the previous post but download the file from Rootzwiki
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...ery-Project-for-Thunderbolt-(8-8-1.0.3-rbox.2
OK. so let me update yall.
I installed the latest version of clockwork, before yes, and it F'ed me up with the looping bootloader.
I installed the older version of CW recovery, renamed it and flashed it with Hboot.
My Flashes now are all 100% not looping and booting perfectly.
Thanks all!
Double check the backup files. i had a similar issue and noticed the files were backed up as .zip instead of .img. You will probably need to install another rom through clockwork.

His problem with restoring the backup should be fixed now. Koush released CWR 5.0.2.1 which should have fixed the ext3 problem with sense roms.
I decided to move to ICS with CleanROM utilizing Method 4 (my Rezound is S-ON and was on GB). However, after getting the ROM, firmware patch and PH98IMG.zip on my SD card, wiping data and doing a factory reset I've run into a loop. Everytime the phone gets to the bootloader while the SD card is in it automatically asks if I'd like to update. Regardless of my response the phone requires that I then reboot and the cycle continues. Rebooting without first pulling the battery (or just rebooting normally) results in the white screen with "HTC" popping up and then going to a static black screen. If I pull the SD card out I can get to the standard bootloader screen, but since the card isn't there I can't recover to a previous nandroid. Again, if I reboot regularly I get the HTC screen and then a static black screen.
So, from what I can tell this is related to a mismatch between firmware and ROM versions, what can I do to fix this?

I managed to get this working. The steps I took:
Pull SD card and rename / remove PH98IMG.zip
Put card back and boot into bootloader
Go to recovery and flash ROM, then GB firmware patch
Power off from recovery
Pull card, rename back to PH98IMG.zip and replace
Boot into bootloader and allow to update
I'm guessing there's probably some way to prevent the bootloader from automatically scanning the sd card for images, but I couldn't find it. Anyone have any ideas?

Step 7: Go back and delete/rename the ph98img.zip.
You can use a file explorer on the phone to do this.
Ok, so I recently got my Desire X and wanted to root it, I chose the Half Sense rom and did these steps
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted and flashed CWM onto it as my recovery
Went to flash the Half Sens ROM with aroma,
I then flashed the extra zip file but then I had a blank lit screen when I try to boot (after HTC logo)
I realized it was because I didn't flash the boot.img file so I did that,
However now all I get is a HTC Logo with red text underneath for about a second, and then the screen will go blank.
I can access Fastboot, Bootloader, Recovery mode and I can put stuff on my micro sd card. I have fastboot and adb on my computer too.
How do I get this phone working or at least restore it to default settings??!!
Is it the rom?
I have no backup file (stupidly)
Advice will be thanked!! I really need it.
try reflashing rom....if u have jb hboot, u may need to change ur version of recovery...and then reflash rom with boot.img.....i hope this solves ur prob
