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.

There is a guide around for you in the Q&A/General Section.
You should be careful when rooting phone and flashing stuff. The acts u mention above, i think you ca recover very easily. Just read the guides and follow these steps.
1. Flash a proper recovery for ICS or JB (whichever stock rom u had).
2. Download a proper ROM, ICS or JB (whichever you want to)
3. Flash the zip thorugh recovery and wait for it to complete.
4. Turn off the phone,
5. Boot to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img files (which is the kernel and it is different for each rom)
Actually i think flashing the correct boot.img will solve ur issue but you better follow the steps i mentioned above.

No No No No No NO.
Rom.zip , and i repeat "*.zip" are meant to be flashed via recovery.
for boot.img, and i repeat "*.img" files are meant to be flash via FASTBOOT mode. You need proper exe file on a pc for that. "fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img"

Then use another recovery.
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

This is what i plan to do :
Download and flash TWRP for t329w
Transfer http://pan.baidu.com/s/122oNL (version 1) to SD Card and the recovery_signed.img and boot_signed.img to SC Card
Reboot phone to recovery
Choose Wipe then Swipe to Factory Reset
or the best is Select Advance Wipe, tick all except sdcard then swipe to wipe
Select Install and select the version1 rom.zip then swipe to confirm flash
Wait until the installation is finished
Reboot phone to fastboot and connect it to your PC
Open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot and issue commands:
fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery_signed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
fastboot flash boot c:\boot_signed.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

One last thing, I forgot to mention I had taken a NAndroid backup before installing the ROM. I restored it and did a full wipe/factory reset, but I think the kernel is the problem (it shows the kernel used by the single sim ROM)
So as of now, I'm just going to flash the boot and recovery, coz boot_signed should change the kernel.
Also, this folder contains other images such as radio, hboot, dzdata etc. what are these for and would they help?
Thanks a lot for your help!!

After restoring Nandroid, just fastboot flash the boot_signed.img and reboot and see whether it boot. It should work if the custom recovery is working well for your device. No need to fastboot flash recovery_signed.img first. Just boot and see whether it works. If it works then only you fastboot flash the recovery_signed.img if you want to.
Don't worry about other images as you can't flash those on a S-On device.

What do you mean shows Error : Cannot open boot.emmc.win ? boot.emmc.win is created by a TWRP recovery only. If there is one you don't have to "open" it, just copy it to your fastboot folder

Hmm, i went to Nandroid restore > Advanced restore > Restore boot
doesn't boot.
tried restoring the whole backup, doesn't boot.
even a wipe data/factory reset doesn't make it boot!
Will taking it to an HTC centre help? (I'm ready to pay some amt of money.)
Oh no... you don't know what fastboot flash means ? It is not using the recovery to restore boot. You need to copy the boot.img to your PC where you have all your fastboot files in a folder.
Try again this way as I don't have my PC with me. Replying to you with someone else PC.
In my ROM threads, you will see Boot.img_Installer_RCx.x.zip in post #1. Download any of them then do the following
1. Download theBoot.img_Installer_RCx.x.zip and extract it on your PC desktop
2. Reboot your DX to bootloader and connect to your PC (you should see the word "fastboot usb" in red color on the bootloader)
3. Open the Boot.img_Installer_RCx.x folder that you extracted, you should see a batch file Install Boot.img.bat there
4. Replace the boot.img with your boot.img (don't use the one that already in the folder). Try the boot_signed.img that you have, rename it to boot.img
5. Run that Install Boot.img.bat and when it stop just press any key to exit
6. Reboot
And yes, taking it to HTC centre will help but of course you need to pay them

Ohh, I just read it properly. I know what fastboot flash means. Using Android SDK > Platform tools > Shift+rightclick > open as command prompt > fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
I've already done it. This boot_signed.img in this thread seems weird.
After installing the custom ROM, restoring my nandroid backup, my phone was booting, but without the sim being recognized.
So I fastboot flashed the above (second post of this thread) boot_signed.img from c:\
But THAT boot_signed.img led to my phone being stuck in a bootloop > white start screen > turns black > try switching it on again > same thing
Hoped I could restore the nandroid boot using recovery advanced restore, but didn't work.
Will try fastboot flashing the MIUI boot.img (coz that's what was working initially, though without a sim, and the one in this thread's second post doesn't have a source), atleast that should get my phone booting. And will try searching for the boot of my nexus recovery backup, coz that will be the stock boot.img.
My last thing before I go to HTC .

As far as I know, the rmn3 doesn't have a stock recovery installed.
You can, however, use MiFlash to flash a MIUI ROM. Run through setup, and you should be able to flash a custom recovery from there.
But why?
