Okay so I installed a gingerbread ROM that keeps getting stuck at the boot screen. Yes, I installed the radio first and took all the correct steps.
But now I'm trying to simply boot into recovery to flash my backup of my other gingerbread ROM that actually worked. I boot into bootloader and it automatically tries updating the radio and there is no possible way to boot into recovery.
I don't know what to do.
When it asks you to install update, what if you say no, then you should be able to boot into recovery from the bootloader.
Sucks you're having issues.

Take the PBxxxx.zip file off of your zip card
I was wondering the same thing; thanks for the info.

Can't we do this in adb?
"adb reboot recovery"

Like g00s3y said, you must first remove the file you were trying (or successfully) flashed off your sd card. It's always best to remove this file once youre done with it. In your case you will probably need to use a sd card reader unless you can get your phone to mount.

I got the exact same problem
I ran into the same problem last night. I hooked my phone up to my laptop which has adb installed. When you're stuck at the start up screen, in a command prompt just type:
adb devices
You should see your phone show up under devices. If it shows up, then just type:
adb reboot recovery
This will get you into your recovery, and I just started the whole process over again. The 2nd time through everything worked great.
Hope this helps. (my phone wouldn't hard boot in to recovery, which I'm assuming is your problems also)
To hard boot into recovery, just hold the volume up key and turn the phone on. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Now I went and did it!
OK, so I was loading a new ROM and something went terribly wrong. I got stuck on the HTC, quietly brilliant screen. I then tried to boot into recovery thinking I would just restore the back up I had made and for some reason it jumped right to the HBoot and ran through some sequence of commands. Next thing I know I don't have root! So I'm screwing around trying to get adb to work on my computer and having problems with that. I try to recover again on the phone (power button and down volume) and notice that I still have s-off. Doesn't that mean I have root? But I also can't find a super user on the phone and none of my 'rooted' only programs work, they all say I don't have root. What do I do now?
Hboot is vol down and power.. not recovery. What that did was look for an update file on your SD card and flashed it. When you rooted your phone did you use the 1 click root? If so you probably just need to do step 3 again.. which gives you root and the super user app.. hopefully that's all it takes. When your done go into your SD card and remove the PG05 (there's more to the name don't have the whole file name memorized) zip file that's on there so it doesn't happen again

You will have to re-root now. This should teach you to be more careful and not just go randomly flashing and updating things. Read up some more before just trying things.
Yeah probably like he said your best bet is to re do the whole process.. Idk what you flashed on your phone or anything so just be careful and do your research before jumping into things.

When flashing a new rom make sure you check the md5sum. You can do this in adb or dl a program, just google it. If the md5sum comes back with the correct number then you know the dl isn't corrupted and you have the correct dl.
But as far as your current problem, you need to re-root.
Research your steps before you do them. I'm NOT a fan of 1-click. If you do it manually, and one step seems not to go right, then stop and ask on the forums. Someone should respond.
I flashed the wrong recovery and my dumb butt deleted the one I downloaded. Can someone please email me the CWM file itself so I can re flash it?
[email protected]
The links to DL it aren't working for some reason right now.
Thanks a ton!
You should use Amon Ra instead of CWM on the Rezound due to bugginess.

That's the weird thing... I initially flashed CWM, and it worked(but hung up with the backing up) and then I flashed Amon Ra via bootloader and it would go through the procedure and then say "parsing" then it would be the usual 4 options. Then I went to do a factory reset and, when I do that, it simply goes to the white HTC screen and hangs there. So I got a feeling that I have some work to do tonight.
When I first flashed Amon Ra it didn't show Recovery. I don't remember what I selected to get it to show since someone was walking me through it in chat. This is my first time rooting.
I think I had to select bootloader the first time I went into Recovery? I don't know... but I remember thinking it hadn't worked. So maybe it's the same with you? Sorry I can't be of more assistance. I'm more of a forum librarian who has read most of the threads and can pull up the appropriate helpful thread when needed.
Hey Feral, any help what so ever is greatly appreciated. I am going to be fine once I get to my dev computer but I am stuck at work right now so it's driving me crazy lol!
same problem

George ,
I'm having a very similar problem, everything I do or try to do from the boot screen results in an instant haptic buzz, and straight to htc white screen. I cant get out of it unless I pull the battery, but then the phone will reboot and function normally, just with no changes. I even tried a factory reset thru the settings, it acted like it did it, but the phone came back up just like it was, nothing was wiped.
I'll be following this thread and others, and if I stumble on to anything that will help us, I will report back. Thanks, Scott
I was following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504408
I flashed MI1 per the guide, and when it rebooted it went to recovery but showed no text, then went to reboot itself and got stuck at the Verizon logo. So being as stupid as I am, and after trying to reflash the MI1 again a few times, I decided, hey, I'll just flash the Root De La Vega. Bad idea, now I'm stuck on the Samsung logo.
I should mention, whenever trying to boot into recovery on my own, it will show the "Booting Recovery..." and then shut off the phone.
I'd just like to go back to stock something at this point, is there any hope?
EDIT: Flashed back to Stock "No-wipe" MI1 and still stuck at Verizon Logo...
See if you can access recovery now and do a factory data reset.

Yeah, still unable to access recovery, it just reboots the device entirely after showing "Booting Recovery"

Just tried holding it for a while (>1min) saw the Recovery Booting text for like a half a second before the screen went dark and continued to hold for a while. After I finally let go it rebooted and is currently stuck on the Verizon logo again.

I'll be honest I still can't find it, even with search restored, it's like the only VRUDMI1 files are no-wipe, so for some reason I reflashed the Root De La Vego or whatever it is, and I'm still getting stuck on verizon logo...
EDIT: Okay, strangely enough, I was able to access the recovery and I performed a full wipe, and was able to boot the phone, but I lack root, should I attempt to start this whole process from the beginning?

What release are you running now? If it's MI1, then I'd try starting over - flash clean, then root de la vega, restore the file, then update.
Well I'm an idiot and I accidentally wiped my ROM off my phone. I tried to restart the phone and of course it went into a boot loop until I held down the Vol- button and I got into the bootloader. When I try rebooting into recovery, it'll flash the TWRP splash screen for about a second then go back into a boot loop. I tried using adb to flash CWM but when I do that and try to reboot to recovery, it just flashed the CWM loading screen for a second then goes into a boot loop. It's the worst kind of feeling when you screw something up but don't know exactly what's broken. When I type in "adb devices" from the command prompt, nothing shows up but somehow it still seems like it'll flash the recovery file to the phone. If I try to flash a boot.img it gets stuck though. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. The whole reason I was trying to wipe the phone is because I'm getting ready to sell it. Now I've just got a paper-weight. Anyone out there have any suggestions?
TL;DR - Wiped my ROM and can only boot to bootloader. Can't get into recovery. ADB only kind of works.

Do you have a factory cable?
If so, have you tried flashing the stock firmware with RSD Lite?
If you do have a cable and can't seem to get adb to recognize it with cmd, can you maybe try RSD Lite?
I had accidentally softbricked my phone a couple months ago, and figured out that I could use a factory cable and RSD Lite to flash stock firmware. Phone booted up without a problem and no more brick.

What kind of phone was it? I'm pretty sure RSD is only for Motorola phones, isn't it?

Most likely but ANYTHING is worth a shot if there's a %0.1 chance of working when it comes to a softbrick. Hard bricks are usually when you just give up.
Are you able to flash anything? If so:
Have you tried flashing anything from this thread? Usually flashing stock firmware in general is a surefire way to fix softbrick. (And I mean release, not anything new. Best to revert it to release firmware, then work your way up if possible.)
If not, then obviously the next step is to figure out how to flash something even though recovery has been goof'd. I'll look around a little.
Okay, I got it back to stock, mostly. I followed the instructions from this thread to get back to stock. I didn't install the lock bootloader so I think it may still be unlocked. Using fastboot I was able to flash back to a stock HBOOT then RUU back to stock. The phone is still S-Off with the unlocked bootloader, I think, but at this point I'm not going to mess with it anymore. It boots up into stock the 3.06 image so I'm just gonna leave it at that and sell the thing before I screw anything else up!

Glad to hear, man! I hope you enjoy the money you make.
Just lets start with yes I should have known better, yes I did not look before I leaped, yes I am an idiot.
Long story short I formatted the phone with TWRP, and now all it does as show the HTC logo when I turn it on. Can't connect to my PC, can't do anything with it at all. I just wanted to wipe the phone so I can sell it and I went a bit too far.
Is it a brick? Can I recover this thing somehow?
EDIT: BTW I can't turn it off either, its just stuck on a white screen with a HTC logo.
OK after some torture i got it into the bootloader. Need to charge it a bit before I can reload the base RUU. This should work, but will post again if it doesn't, thanks anyway....
so what happened
