Hi XDA. I did post a topic to do with the same handset but I've requested for it to be deleted as I'm going to post all the current details on my handset and the status of it, just so it's easier to look at the problems.
Modes the phone can run in: Fastboot, System Recovery and USB-MS toggle.
Through backup and restore, nothing works, requests everything through ADB despite having tried that also. Flashing new ROMs after wiping the phone and SD entirely doesn't work, it still gets stuck in the loop no matter what ROM I use.
I have extracted the ROM and system/boot.img's from an Orange RUU via and tried installing the rom and the img files separately but the ROM came up as "bad" and I don't know how to use the .img as they don't come up. I think if I flashed the fresh boot and system images it might work, but that's just me. I have also tried installing the RUU from fastboot, but that doesn't work either, it just searches for images and reverts to the fastboot menu with no indication for the RUU install. I've tried wiping the SD and using a fresh SD and still nothing, still looping.
I'm at my wits end with this and I don't want to have to sell it faulty if it's fixable or "not" bricked..
Its not bricked, if it was then nothing would happen at all.
Although I have never heard of this problem before and the only possible solution i can think of is to connect try and update to the official ROM, which would remove your root access and most likely not let you root again, but this is still better than having a non-working hero.
Hope you find a solution

Good to know it's not bricked, it means that it CAN be fixed somehow.
I have said in the post that I can't get into Android at all expect the boot modes and USB-MS toggle. This means I can't get into sync to install an RUU, which I couldn't do before anyway. I have extracted the ROM from an official RUU but that and the sys.img and boot.img won't flash either. The .img files don't even show, since you can only flash .zip files.
Thanks anyway!
Sorry guys, i need to bump this... :-(
Any suggestions?

I'm not sure I 100% understand the problem you are having here. I guess you are trying to root essentially, since you are trying RUUs and zips (whilst rooting might not be your end goal, it sounds like you're trying to just now).
Make a gold card, and use the HEROIMG.zip method to flash the ROM.zip out an RUU. At work so can't explain fully, but search on these terms for help.
It's already rooted, it's just stuck in a boot loop, and I can get into the states I mentioned above. And I've tried a few ROMs off here and that doesn't seem to work. Tried extracting the ROM from an official RRU as well, which is why I mentioned it.

When you hold Home and Press power do you get into the recovery screen?
Which recovery screen have you got installed?
Have you waited more than 5 minutes for a new ROM to load the first time?
Have you run logcat and watched the output whilst it is loading a fresh rom?
Have you wiped everything before flashing the rom's update.zip?
I get into recovery, I have RA Hero installed on it. And it's sat for over 5 minutes..

And I ran all the wipe options before flashing yeah.

You have two options, leave it for an hour and see if it boots. Make sure you do a full wipe and then flash VillainROM or another established ROM. Don't use any beta's or alpha builds.
Alternatively you can get a logcat report going and post that up.
I'll try the first option when I finish work, I'll try Villain as it's what the Hero had on it before this happened.
Are there any guides to doing a logcat report? I tried doing,one once but I didn't seem to get much out of the instructions I was given. Thanks for your help so far .

there is info on setting up adb. Then do "adb logcat > logfile.txt" and send logfile.txt
Anon I'll try that at the weekend sometime when I get a chance.
Btdag I left the Hero on until it died, nothing but the Hero screen. Guess I need to bump here again once logcat is done..

If your on 2.3.4 that's your issue.those kernels won't work for it.pull battery.hold power and volume down go into recovery when battery is put back in..
sent from my badass EVO 3D running Kaos Hybrid 4.20 using tapatalk
I did that but when i choose recovery it boots to the htc logo and then keeps rebooting ...
no one knows what i can do ? :/ is there a way to reset the phone without recovery ?
You pulled the battery? Cause if you don't and fastboot is on.its would do that.
sent from my badass EVO 3D running Kaos Hybrid 4.20 using tapatalk
yes i did it just as you said ...
If you still can't get into recovery or the phone continuously bootloops after the battery pull, just run the latest RUU.
What is a RUU and how do i run it ? Do you have a link ? Thanks for the replies.
Have you taken the latest OTA, or have you ran revolutionary on your phone?
yes i have revolutionary on the phone
Go here, download the .exe with the 1.13.651.7, and run it as admin.
thanks, Is it a problem if i'm not on sprint? cause i'm in france and got the gsm version.
Yes, that would be a problem...try this thread and see if your version is listed.
i guess i'll try the "europe" one... if i dont risk to brick my phone by doing so ...
Tried and didn't work wasn't the good one... I hope i will find the good one soon i'll bookmark your link hoping that my version will be upped...
Thank you for your help.
Did you solve the problem?
Hi I just have the same problems like you ... I am in France, and after installing a new kernel, the phone is an a restarting loop.
I can go to the recovery mode (revolutionary) , I have tried to install different kernel and different ROM, but it alwas failed...
Thanks
MikRunny problems
I have a similar problem.
I tried installing MikRunny, (I flashed the boot.img multiple times, and did a full wipe, multiple times), but I keep getting a bootloop.
I fastbooted the boot.img, and I replaced the boot.img in the kernel map in MikRunny.zip.
My phone is (according to recovery) S-OFF, Revolutionary, 1.49 HBOOT, GSM.
That was the problem, the boot.img was not for GSM, but for CDMA.
But yet, I replaced it, and it still doesn't work...

Search Google, Rootzwiki, and XDA for an SD bootable CWM or TWRP recovery image for the phone. Use all terms for the Evo 3D (shooter, 3vo, E3D, and even the HTC model number, which is PG86100). Write it to a microSD with dd in Linux or Win32DiskImager in Windows. After it's done writing, just drop your zips onto the card as you normally would and place it back into the phone. Proceed to recovery as you normally would. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, and battery stats. Now flash your ROM zip and follow it with your GAPPS zip. Reboot system and pray for the best. If you need any more assistance or help, feel free to PM me. Hope this helps, I know how bricking a phone feels. Just remember that there's no such thing as a permanent brick, unless you hit it with a real brick .

Hey i ran into this problem yesterday flashing this Kernel...i used the flash gui app...what happened was it booted after it flashed....and it stuck in bootloop...i tried reflashing it the regular way just through cwm and it wasnt doing anything...so i did a google search on how to flash kernels on hboot 1.5 this is what i got...http://youtu.be/HclYpo0ZR3s that youtube video shows how to flash the kernel....THE WAY I KNEW HOW TO....but he says at the end there is a backup way to flash kernels..he says its longer but it also works just as good he says that you fastboot flash it via command prompt...so this gave me an idea...he says open up command prompt and prompt it to the folder you have used to unlock the device...unzip the boot.img file from the kernel your using in command prompt youd type fastboot flash boot boot.img....THIS NEXT PART I THOUGHT OF MYSELF. i removed the boot.img from the rom i was using and flashed that first AND FLASHED THE EXACT ROM I REMOVED THE BOOT.IMG FROM TO GET IT ROOTED. Not only did i solve my original kenel problem where my radios were jacked up BUT, i also got this kernel to work, and my synergy rom to work with the kernel, everything works and i was unbricked...I HOPE ANYBODY WHO RUNS INTO THIS PROBLEM DOES THIS AND THEY ARE OK.
I have officially stressed myself to the brink. I try to be calm but nowhere do I find how to fix my problem. I have tried flash image gui, I have tried htc dumlock, and I have also tried flashing the .img manually through fastboot usb then flashing the entire zip with twrp 2.2.2.0. Almost every time, I must recover from my TWRP and then use bootimg flasher v1.1 to stop my evo from getting stuck at the boot screen.
Everytime I attempt, I wipe the system and cache, then flash the boot.img, then flash the zip, then the gapps and reboot and it gets stuck on the splashscreen. I must note also that when I had first rooted, and installed Rom toolbox pro, I picked out a boot animation and installed it, restarted the phone, and it didnt work. BUT NOW sometimes after i flash the CM10 that random boot animation appears. WTF? even after i wipe the memory and everything. So I turned off the boot animation, and even deleted them from the phone off the app and it still comes up. I believe this is part or maybe IS the problem. But either way, I do not know how to deal with it. I have had the Cyanogenmod 10 boot animation ONCE out of the many times I have tried flashing but it was stuck on that screen forever like I have read other users have had happen. I REALLY, REALLY would like to be able to use the rom, as it has the new google now voice and all the cool features that i would like to have now that I am rooted.
NOTES:
I am running my stock rom. I have not installed any other ROMS on my phone. The backup i created was after I installed the stupid boot animation. (In case thats another problem)
When i tested the "current" boot animation from within rom toolbox pro, the normal htc evo 4g lte Sprint one loaded but yet, the retarded one i chose for ****s and giggles is what keeps loading. FML (I shouldve chose at least a cool one.)
My backup works fine. I am damn glad i made it!!!
Sorry for any grammatical errors, lowercase i's and what not. im too lazy to press the shift key sometimes. (Caps lock is broken. FML.)
Also sorry for it being so long. I am trying to be thorough to give you experts what you need to help me out.
If you need anymore info as far as detail instructions i will be happy to write back on this forum.
PLEASE do not tell me that my answer is on another forum, because I believe that it is not due to the special situation I have. I have tried looking for days for an answer.
I will be periodically checking this forum for any replies and will reply ASAP, whenever i am available.
Thank you for your time and patience!

What happens when u fastboot the kernel? Does it say success?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Use fastboot to flash the kernel, if you still have trouble wipe the partion and try again
Fastboot flash boot boot.img extract it from the Rom and place in adb folder.
Fastboot erase boot to wipe partition
I had problems trying out CM10 also. This worked for me.
Edit:: I'm assuming you have TWRP recovery and are unlocked before you start this...
Buy Flash GUI from app store. Worth the 99 cents!
Open it and point it to the CM10 zip. It will extract the parts it needs and flash the kernel.
Once that is done have it reboot (it prompts you) into recovery and then wipe system, do factory reset, then flash the CM10 zip and gapps zip.
Reboot one last time
The CM10 animation went on for a couple/few minutes the first time, don't panic.
You should be good after that.
Make sure to install Flash GUI again though. You will need to use it to go back to a ICS/Sense ROM later (using same method). And my guess is you might want to.
CM10 is incredible on this phone but it's not quite ready. I have tons of data connection issues and NEVER get 4G in the places where I've always had good signal. Also, the camera is just about worthless. No disrespect to the devs working on it. I'd have no idea how to work the magic they are doing and I appreciate their time.
Good luck.
I did the very same thing earlier today. I flashed CM10 without paying attention tot he fact that I was unlocked but still had S-On so the phone would continually get stuck on the boot screen. I must have reflashed and formatted with TWRP 10 times before diving into it deeper.
In terms of workflow the only way I could make it work properly was to:
1. Use TWRP to flash CM10 and gapps (just add both zips)
2. Reboot into bootmanager using TWRP.
3. Use fastboot to flash boot.imgfrom the CM10 zip (fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img)
If I did the boot.img first it didn't seem to work, it should so maybe that wasn't the real issue but the above process worked and I'm now running CM10.
When I fast boot the kernel everything says success with no errors

But first I would like to leave you all with a VERY important question that I did not think of. Is there a stable release of cm10 that has worked for you all that I can try? Perhaps that was the problem too? I was trying the nightly release that came out October 2. Once again thank you all for replying and i will try to do this ASAP after class.

Which nightly did you use?
Hey guys so I used padrino121s suggestion for flashing. At first I tried flash gui again like you had suggested but it got stuck in the boot screen. So I decided to download a different nightly release (20121002) and it flashed perfectly and everything transferred over correctly! Thank you guys so much for all of your help! Now one more question... If I decide to get a new nightly build, do I have to flash everything all over again like I had to the first time? Or because I have flashed cyanogen mod already do I just do something else to update it?

I unlocked my bootloader, flashed with Trickdroid, found some bug, then I decided to try the Renovation HD Rom. Got frozen during Aroma twice. Then I rebooted twice. Now my device is half-bricked. I can't get into recovery anymore. Tried CWM, TWRP. doesn't work. everytime I tried to get in recovery, it will just jump to the HTC screen. and after the HTC screen, it will reboot itself, and keep looping...
I want to try to restore using RUU, but there is NO RUU for AT&T version now.
I can't get in recovery, I can't get in the system.... I am stuck. Hopeless now.
Am I the first to brick a HTC ONE?
After 5 hours of struggling, IT got into the recovery again!!!!!!!!! didn't know what I did to make it work. and flashed with Renovation HD Rom and working now.
Update: If you keep getting boot loop, or can't get into recovery, try the ALL IN ONE kit and use the "erase cache", that fix my problem, and I learned it the hard way..

Hi I am a complete noob and just got my HTC one and went way to fast with rooting my phone and may have a bricked phone as well. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the clockwork mod recovery using the all in one kit. I proceeded to boot into the bootloader, and then went into the recovery. I backed up my phone at the point using clock work mod. I then wiped my phone to factory settings and wiped the cache. At that point I forgot that I had not put my ROM that I wanted to use on the phone storage. So i pressed reboot now. Obviously this was a mistake because there is nothing on the phone to boot off of. Now I have an HTC One that is not turning on no matter what I do and I have no idea where to start. Anybody know where I can start? It is also worth mentioning that I made another noob mistake by starting this process with 35% on my phone so is it possible that it is out of battery and not able to charge?
Charge battery copy ROM to SD card press volume up and power look for clockwork mod recovery go to SD card and install rom . Hopefully nothing more is required. Don't panic if clockworkmod is giving you brick sign usually its a sign you have wrong clockwork mod installed.

ok... Please pardon my stupidity on this. I had a Tbolt rooted and S-off no problem. My bro-inlaw got a rezound.. so I was like "I can root and ROM it no problem." Well big problem.
I can't really remember what I've done because I've been trying everything left and right. The only thing I know for sure is that it is unlocked and I have Amon Ra's recovery on it..
I've flashed several different PH981IMGs and ROMs and each time it just keeps boot looping the whatever boot animation that ROM uses. i'm sure I've just put things that aren't compatible, but I'm so lost right now.
So, all I really want to do right now is get the whole thing back to stock.
Can anybody please tell me how to get the thing back???
thanks,
Craig
It looks like you are s-on. Use fastboot to flash boot.img on the phone and reboot.
loop
i am also having the exact same problem with my rezound. i am stuck in the boot loop and only get to the htc logo and it just stays there.
i have also tried several img. files for it and can't seem to get it to go. can some one give a few more details on how to boot into fast mode to get it going?
like exactly what files do i need to load? would these be on the root of my sd card? and do i need to rename anything?
i know for sure that my phone is "s-on".
any help would be most appreciated,
