I was switching from sinister's v6 rom to decks. I booted into twrp recovery and wiped cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system. Then I flashed decks zip and then gapps. I then used adb reboot-bootloader to get back to the bootloader. From there I used "fastboot flash boot deckboot.img" (I changed the boot.img name to deckboot.img).
this is the message I recieved:
c:\Android>fastboot flash boot deckboot.img
sending 'boot' (1976 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.370s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.690s]
finished. total time: 1.070s
then I tried to reboot through adb but got this
c:\Android>adb reboot
error: device not found
so used the phone keys to reboot the phone. Now my phone will not show anything but the very first splash screen, which I think means my phone is bricked (****). I had h-boot 1.19, firmware 2.13, htc unlocked, and had s-on. I plugged the device into my computer but when using the command "adb devices" nothing shows up. It was weird because my computer recognized the device as something and was looking for drivers or something like QHUSB-DLOAD but did so to no avail. Any advice?
Can you get to the bootloader by holding volume down + power (I think that's the right sequence, anyhow)?

I would try that and if you are able to get to bootloader I would reflashed the bootimg without changing the name. Just leave it bootimg.

Okay so I tried doing that but no luck. The only screen I'm seeing is the white HTC screen that says the phone has been dev unlocked. It's weird that a few seconds after I let go of power and down I see the HTC splash screen and then it's back to black. At first I thought it was because I wasn't holding it long enough but after multiple tries it seems like the phone is waiting for me to let go of the buttons.
I got the advice to "Hold power and volume down for like 15 seconds. Take your finger off the power button for 2 or 3 seconds and repress it while holding volume down all the time" and I was able to get back to the bootloader. From there I went to recovery and redid wiped and flashed everything. It turned out I extracted the boot.img from deck's Evo 4G rom (dope!). Anyway everything is working fine for me now. Thanks for the help guys.

Hey guys,
So I properly powered down my phone and went to go into the bootloader by holding vol down + power button. As soon as it opened up the bootloader the phone turned off. I went to turn it on and it flashes the white sprint screen for less than 1 sec and turns off. When I plug it into a charger the light turns on for a few secs then goes away.
I have s-off + cwm.
I have read that if your battery dies in the bootloader after installing cwm your battery won't charge and the phone won't boot. I am not sure if this is the case but was hoping to get some input.
I am not sure what percentage my battery was at when this happened.
Thanks!
Go to bootloader (cwm) and reinstall your back up rom that outta do it. And after download the rom you currently have but replace your old one and flash it over usin cwm

My phone only stays on for 1 second tops. I cannot go to my bootloader. My computer sees the phone even when it won't turn on witch is weird. I also cannot communicate with the phone with adb / fastboot etc. The only thing I have not tried is hacking a usb cable to communicate. Any advice would be great. I will try a battery tomorrow.
ADB
Wow hey ok so I can see the phone in ADB after all... List of devices attached
HT167HX05101 recovery
Is there a way to flash the old recovery?
Or can someone point me to the RUU.exe? Not the ZIP
Thanks!
EDIT:
Well never mind... I had adb and booted into bootloader and flashed team win recovery from fastboot and it failed - sending 'recovery' (5016 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (status read failed (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown))
Now the light stays on when I plug in but no longer flashes when I power button and no more adb. I'm screwed
Idk what your problem is since i do not have your phone in front of me, either you deleted an import file and are now screwed no offense and cant boot your phone my suggestion is to either call or take it to the store by gettin a new one. I would tell them your phone got hot all the sudden and just crashed that way its under warentee
Supa Dupa Troopah
can you use fastboot? Also, leave the phone alone and charge it, while off, for a bit. If you come back to a full charge phone and hold vol down and then power, it should boot into fastboot, try running a fastboot command from the PC. Also, you could download twrp 1.0.2 zip and put it on your SD card as PG86IMG.zip, same vol down/power and it *might* install the recovery from hboot. Don't give up yet. In theory if your charging light turns on, you're not bricked.
hopefully this works for me !!
Thanks

I last time I had adb I got into the bootloader by using an adb command once in there I flashed teamwin rec. It failed during install and ever since I am locked out. I can't get any commands. I wonder if it damaged my boot loader. Ill keep trying otherwise I should be able to get it swapped since it does not boot at all

yeah if you can't get into the bootloader/adb/recovery/rom then sprint can't either
Sorry to be a bother.. but can someone check out my problem? I really need help. I know, i am such a troll coming to another post to look for help.

sprint htc evo 4g lte, rooted s-off, twrp recvoery, stock android 4.1 rom
I was roooted for sometime now and have been using a stock rom but i decided i want to try the stable cm10 rom. Created twrp backup and I followed directions and wiped cache,Dalvik cache and performed factory wipe before i flashed the rom. After the flash was successful i rebooted the phone and thats when the problems began. The Htc splash screen came on and then the screen went blank and cant get it to do anything.
what i've tried
1)held down power button for 10 secs to reboot phone,soft screen buttons light up indicating reboot, phone vibrates htc splash screen comes on and then black screen returns
2)tried to enter bootloader but holding down power button and vol button but nothing happens
3)connected phone to computer to run adb/fastboot, adb devices and fastboot devices does not find my phone
4)let the battery drain completely and then recharge but same problem persists
Im stuck on what to do next does anyone have any ideas on what to do or do i have a bricked phone.
Have u used the power/ volume down before to access bootloader cause it can be tricky if your not used to it.
Once your lights have flashed 10 or twelve times I usually take my finger off the power button and press & hold vol down then a few seconds later I press power while never letting go of vol button.
Also you never mentioned wiping system before the flash. This is probably the most important wipe. Its basically the Rom
Good luck

finally got into bootloader the culprit was an intermnient vol button. I got cm10 to flash correctly but now the mobile data doesn't connect. you have suggestions

Not sure man but I did see a thread about this very issue somewhere. I would start with toggling CDMA only and data on and off. Try sprint only and CDMA only . that usually works for me

yea that didnt work and i tried a bunch of other thgins so now im trying to go back stock unrooted and see if i can get data again then try rooting again.
I was doing a backup with TWRP and everything seemed to go just fine. Then after a reboot i unlocked the phone to notice that it was leaving the lock-screen icons on the bottom of the page. I still had access to my notification bar and could clear notifications. Figuring that there had just been a mistake in the boot process, I held the power button to restart the phone. Well it never brought up my power menu to restart. Also instead of making me wait ten seconds until it flashed its lights and restarted, it just restarted in like 3 seconds. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC ONE screen and will not respond to anything including hold the power button.
My phone is rooted an s-off. I know that I have not posted at all on here, but I have been rooting and know how at least the basics on adb shell. I just have never had a phone lock up to this point. If I can at least get to recovery, I should have 2 or 3 backups to run. I just don't want to have to wait for the phone battery to die just to hope I can get to recovery.

Are you saying volume up + power button does not restart your phone nor does any help? Check if your phone is detected in computer and if so you can issue and adb reboot command
also since there is no removable battery HTC added a reboot function press home vol down and power that should do the trick
The phone is not detected by a computer, nor will it charge. Vol down and power is not cutting it off. Right now I am waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully boot into recovery and do a restore.
Vol up + Power was the key. I was thinking it was volume down. Thanks for all your help

Just wanted to point out I ran into this issue also (Stuck on white HTC boot screen) after wiping my ROM and Vol UP + Power did the trick for me also (and then Vol Down + Power to get back to the bootloader).
i need help, guys
so attempting to install a new rom, i must have dont something wrong because now restarting the phone will leave me on the htc logo loop and restart. i still have access to hboot and fastboot. but when attempting to load into twrp, it shows the team win logo for half a second and then restarts the phone. then i installed cwm and it does boot into it but whatever option i pick, install zip, wipe data, ANYTHING, restarts the phone.
i have no idea what to do. i tried installing a rom using adb sideload but it stops at around 80%, ive tried installing different versions of twrp and cwm and same thing. i think it is bricked. im using the verizon htc one max. the only option i see left is the ruu toolkit but ive only been able to find the sprint version and then it says that bootloader needs to be locked and i have not idea how to do that from hboot, fastboot, or cwm
attempting to install superuser also fails
if there's anyone here that can help, please, any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks =:laugh:
Sounds like you're flashing the wrong TWRP.

May I suggest following these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51753483&postcount=129
If you're able to complete those instructions outlined in that post, this should set you up with the latest HBOOT, Radio and TWRP (Recovery) for the Verizon HTC One.
Make sure you read the post fully before you start, especially this part:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Be sure it finishes saying 'successful', not 'please flush again immediately'. If it says the flush again, rerun the command)
If you succeed in getting that done, see if TWRP still causes the phone to reboot and get back to us.
Hi Just got my new device HTC M8 from ATT. Just did unlock bootloader and want to root my phone but after reboot in recovery mode it stuck with red triangle and I'm not able even to switch it off. Is there any way to reboot it?

You only need to hold (Volume Up + Power) until it reboots.

Am also facing the same problem. Some one please help me how to come over this.
little backstory/info: Had my DNA rooted for years now. S-off, unlocked...all that good stuff.
This morning I wake up and go to turn on the screen (it was asleep, not powered off). well the screen didnt light up but my notification light was blinking.
Tried a few taps of the power button as this has happened before (the phone is getting pretty old now). No avail, so i hold the power button until the touch keys start to blink and reboot the phone.
Upon turning back on it shows the screen that normally shows the htc logo (mine is modded) and then it should go to the boot image (in my case, a custom .gif that i flashed over long ago). well, before it gets to the boot image it simply blacks out and reboots.
At one point in time i could boot to the hboot screen and select 'recovery'... it would say 'entering recovery...' in pink at the top of the screen ... and then reboot. So, no getting into the recovery
Now, hitting 'recovery' in hboot sends me directly to the fastboot menu
So, here's what I'm able to do. I can boot to fastboot and issue fastboot commands using minimal_adb.
I've tried
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
which returns
Code:
writing 'recovery'
FAILED (Remote: image update error)
Yes, the recovery .img is in the same folder with adb.
Yes, the name of the .img was typed in correctly.
Yes, I tried other recovery .img.
At this point I don't mind having to wipe everything, the thing is, I only have fastboot to work with.
kind of same here
mine is just stuck in the bootloader and nothing works like holding the power and volume buttons and if i plug in the charger it keep restarting over and over again on the htc logo part.

Mine has gotten to the point now where it doesn't boot loop sometimes, but it still doesn't load past the initial boot up screen (normally white screen with HTC logo)
I've since gone and gotten a new phone (I was due to upgrade anyway) but still wouldn't mind being able to recover the DNA and the media on it if i can.
were you using a custom recovery?
