I guess you have flashed a 2.3.3 kernel so you are experiencing issues.........so now just boot your phone in bootloader then select fastboot > connect your phone to pc (it should say fastboot usb on phone)> now open cmd > head to your fastboot folder in cmd> then type fastboot boot xxxxx.img (xxxx = your recovery img (cwm/twrp) ) > Now your phone will boot into recovery > then restore your Nandroid backup .......
Hope this helps
If the above didnt work try to flash boot.img from your nandroid backup using fastboot (not recovery) with command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
press thanks if i helped you
is there a way i can do it without my computer im at work,so i don't have all my files on hand...thanks this has got me stomped......
I m sorry you cannot do it without a pc .....you know the limitations of htc unlock method...you can only flash kernels made for 2.3.4 from flash image gui......you can always download those fastboot/adb files from here or google for it.They are just a few kb's

Yes, as long as all the nandroid backup files are on your sdcard. Steps below.

This isn't true. Flash Image GUI will flash the kernel for any version, but if your system OS is not also updated at the same time, the device will not boot.
If you're looking to do a nandroid restore w/o using fastboot (or being attached to a computer), here are the steps I would suggest:
1) From Flash Image GUI, select the boot.img from inside of the custom recovery backup directory on the /sdcard. Flash this kernel.
2) Reboot directly into recovery mode. Run the nandroid restore for that SAME backup as the boot.img was pulled from and flashed via Flash Image GUI.
3) After nandroid restore finishes, reboot and the device should be back to the previous state found in the backup.
Remember, this is a work around for the HTC unlock and might not always be the best solution.
Keep us updated and let us know. Hope that helps!

If the device won't boot past the splash screen, chances are the issue is kernel related. For kernel related issues, the ONLY method provided by HTC via their unlock is to use fastboot to boot the recovery. This is the only accessible mode HTC grants write access to the kernel partition.
This is the only way HTC provides write access to the kernel for a device that is not booting properly. The command using fastboot is as follows: fastboot boot c:\recovery.img .
This command will temporarily load the custom recovery with kernel write access allowing a proper recovery to take place.
One reason the device is not booting could be the android OS version mismatches with the kernel, therefore the kernel's ramdisk is looking for files which are not present and cause the device to either freeze or reboot.
There are other reasons too, probably too many worth detailing out as the easiest route to solving the issue is to restore back to a known good working nandroid or cleanly load another known working ROM/kernel combination.
Hope that helps clarify! Best of luck!
Thanks to all you guys. Got it back running XDA is the best.
sent from my Rooted & Boosted 3VO.
I tried to go back to stock using the team win recovery backup I made of stock Rom. The team win recovery restored the backup successfully but when booting up the HTC sign comes on with the red letters and then stays on a black screen for ages and dosnt boot the orgibial stock I restored.
my battrry was under 50% at the time also I did managed to flash a custom Rom after I am currently using mysense rd+ jv
My hboot is 1.25.0002
Any suggestion why the restore of my orgibal stock Rom isn't booting
?
You need to fastboot flash your stock boot.img
Inside your TWRP nandroid folder, you should find boot.emmc.win
Flash this file in fastboot mode with command
fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
Thankyou for your help I will try it later

Thank you so much I thought i bricked my phone :laugh:
I want come back to stock 4.2.2 sense 5.
I have restored the rom from my twrp backup and flashed the boot.emmc.win from fastboot.
Now I need to flash the stock recovey but (my bad) I don't have a backup of this
After relocking the bootloader can I install the recovey extracted from the firmware file attached in this thread?

Thanks
Is there a way to unroot this device?
Thanks in advance
You'll need a computer and TWRP recovery installed on your device.
Assuming that you have those prerequisites, simply flash the stock ROM in TWRP like you would a custom ROM (the .zip can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo.../lg-h901-stock-images-device-restore-t3241170)
Once you have that flashed, you can reboot into fastboot mode and install the stock recovery image using the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command or by using a flashable .zip (the stock system images can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63604156&postcount=1)
That should do it.
Would need to lock the bootloader if returning it or selling it. Do that last tho
If there was any problem starting the rom and it was necessary to restore the stock rom. What is the procedure to do it? Asus only gives a ROM in zip format and only allows you to boot into bootloader mode (and from there to recovery mode and then fastboot)
