I bought HTC Rhyme (Bliss) last week and I'm regretful !!! It worked perfectly till the night, when I put it on the dockstation to charge, but 15 mins later I saw it rebooting over and over and stuck on the green HTC logo !!! what people call soft brick or bootloop problem !!!
I tried factory reset, erase data and cache in recovery which didn't work.
I downloaded and installed RUU_Bliss_ICS_35_S_HTC_EU_2.14.401.2 from htcdev.com site, which didn't change anything. Also I flashed different boot.img , but no result.
I unlocked the bootloader using htcdev and flashed CWM 6 touch. Erased cache and dalvik, reinstalled RUU, didn't work!
I downloaded some custom roms for HTC Rhyme, but when I try to flash them in CWM, it says Can't open ... (bad) Installation aborted. !!! I changed the CWM to version 5, downloaded the roms again, but still the same error !!!
Flashed Dark side wipe cache and super wipe via CWM and installed RUU again, no luck !!!
Found the stock RUU (1.31.707.6) on a Russian forum, but I faced some difficulties downgrading !!! I got main version error at first, changed the main version using misc_version and then it said hboot version is older. I generated the mtd0.img , setup adb in CWM recovery and followed the instructions to flash it to the misc partition using flash_image, but it says failed with error: -1 !!! tried "dd if=/sdcard/mtd0.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" but still I get "hboot version is older" or "hboot version check failed" when I try to revert it back to stock rom.
I spent hours of time testing different methods (even the phone twisting method I found on youtube!!!) and I don't know what else to do !!! Maybe If I could flash a different rom or revert it back to stock i get rid of the damn bootloop !!!
Also I can't find s-off box for htc rhyme in the market...
Lol…i press retart on same phone and got boot loop

OK so i am rooted, S-Off, and hboot 1.49.1107
i just flashed the firmware update and then immediately after flashed a new rom. i didn't know you had to flash the firmware and go into the OS after, then flash the rom. so it just gets stuck at the HTC screen now. how do i flash a rom with the new firmware already installed? so i have to go back to a GB rom and old firmware and try again?
If your s-off just grab a Rom and reflash I would think. I don't know why u fooled with firmware to begin with if ur s-off already.

just take the OTA when it comes out. all better. LOL! BUT DON'T FORGET! look at what you flash. sometimes what you flash can cause you to loose your root.

If you don't have supercid
can't go back GB RUU
Could someone please help??
tryed updating through System Update (OTA)
failed to install... said my device may have custom rom
I wasn't using a custom rom, only changed cid to use a custom rom but ended up using stock. Just forgot to change cid back.
Changed cid back to original (HTC__044) and tryed to download OTA again...
It succeeded to download and asked me to install... Accepted.
it rebooted to Recovery and failed to install.
Followed 1st post instructions (status 7)
and installed the OTA through recovery.
Instalation successful!
BUT
When I rebooted the device, it just doesn't boot.
I downloaded anryl files, but it failed to load PG86IMG.zip when I boot to bootloader. Says wrong image.
tried booting into recovery but it won't boot into recovery either.
then tried flashing recovery again and booting into recovery again. No success.
any ideas?
Thanks in advance
My phone will go to the bootloader and recovery but can't go further
The phone boots straight into the bootloader
I can then select to go into recovery
I go into recovery and it says it fails to mount sdcard and internal storage
I attempt to wipe or install anything and it fails
I attempted to run the RUU but that failed with error 155.
This issue started when I attempted to flash viper after wiping paranoid android.
After installing viper the phone rebooted with the screen top half being black and the bottom half showing the white htc screen. I thought it was an issue with the kernel so tried flashing liberty kernel. That appeared to install fine but after failing to boot up again I attempted wiping and starting fresh again and thats when the error where it was unable to mount sdcard or internal storage started.
Phone info.
S-ON
HBOOT 1.19
RADIO 1.12.11.0809
TWRP 2.3.1.0
So i am looking for possible next steps to take to correct the issue.
Nvm. Long late night and forgot to OEM lock before running the ruu.

im having major issues here with my device it all started with me trying to flash it to cynogenmod 10 which apparantly my device has the s-on so i was stuck in the cmod boot logo, luckily i backed up my device prior to that with the stock rom and everything so i restored successfully back to my stock rom. then i was reading along some forums to see what the problem was and i came accrosss this forum "http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-s-h-boot-1-15-a.html" which gave me a few options on how to flash kernels with the right one that will work with cynogen mod, i chose option 1 because it said it is recommended which the steps were to take the rom "boot.img" file and copy it over to the android sdk platform tools folder and open up a cmd and i flashed the rom "boot.img" which according to the forum that contains the kernel that belongs with that rom i did what it ask went to fastboot mode and typed in fastboot boot boot.img, which succeeded, when i rebooted the device it boots up acting like it is trying to open up recovery mode which is twrp recovery, after that it does nothing it blacks out and a little white bar flashes on top of the screen from time to time then it turns off and reboots and do same cyckle, i attempted to go back to twrp and restore my stock rom which said it succeeded but when i rebooted it did the same thing acted like it was tryning to boot up to recovery being inforemd with those red letter about developmental purposes only stuff, so i factory rested my device wiped dalvik cache and cache and even wiped the system rom and restored my back up with stock rom and nothing works still, please help i am stuck please!!
You probably need to pull the boot.img from a stock ROM and send it via fastboot since your trying to go back to your stock backup.
thanks, but now i got the cynogen mod 10 to boot up now for some reason the touch screen does not respond to the touch neither does the capacative touch buttons work either do you have any idea what it could be?
If you have the 3.16 OTA update then you're touchscreen firmware is incompatible. If this is the case your stuck with 3.16 based roms. Cm will not work for you.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
well the 3.16 ota update is that the latest one?
Yes. If you have the 3.16 update the only way your going to get cm to work is to s-off and downgrade you're tp firmware.

I'll try..
First and foremost you need to go here http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?13192-RADIOS-RECOVERY-FLASHABLE-Jewel-Radio-Collection&p=220556&viewfull=1#post220556 and download the boot.img only for whatever version of the stock rom your backup is.
Put it in your sdk tools and open a command prompt and fastboot flash boot boot.img
Go to twrp recovery and WIPE cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system.
Restore your stock backup.
Reboot.
If you can get back to your stock rom, then you should read up on dirty racun or possibly facepalm to gain s-off if you want to run cm.

Hello everyone.
Last night I rebooted my phone because I was getting fc's on ES File Explorer. After the reboot my phone stuck on bootanimation and never boots.
Wiped everything, Installed CM10 (Wild) but still nothing. Now it is bootlooping from bootanimation. I'm using 4EXT recovery with SmartFlash enabled.
I'm on hboot: 1.53.0007 / Baseband version: 11.77.3504.00P_11.25.3504.06_M / HTC unlocked / S-ON and I was using v16+OTA mwakious3Drom.
I'm downloading RUU's but I'm not sure if they flash. My phone is bought from Germany and had the vodafone logo when firstbooted. It's not branded.
Anyone could help me understand what's wrong so I can recover my phone back? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Just used RUU_Shooter_U_Vodafone_UK_1.21.161.1_Radio_10.53.9020.00_10.13.9020.08_2M_release_203613_signed (the only vodafone RUU) and it failed.
Also tried RUU_SHOOTER_U_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.28.401.1_Radio_11.77.3504.00U_11.25.3504.06_M_release_262714_signed.exe but i got CID incorrect! on bootloader.
EDIT: Tried MIUI and CM9 also but not working... :(
Ah and on Fastboot it recognises to erase/format only the cache. My eMMc is fried isn't it??pfffff
FINAL EDIT: I did superwipes to every partition except SDcard. I downloaded the v17 mwakiousrom and now it just booted. If I want to go AOSP I must do the wire trick to get s-off? Thanks again...
Ok so I've been struggling with this for MONTHS. I flashed Hatka 2.x (Android 4.2) a while back, and ever since then I have not been able to install any other rom besides Hatka 2.x.:crying:
Android: 4.2
Rom: Hatka 2.x
Kernel: 3.4.10-g4d47dce [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
HTC Sense: 4+
I have tried flashing several roms from just about anything 4.2.2 - 4.3 and now 4.4.x. I'm not sure If maybe I need a new kernel, boot image or what but I feel like I have tried everything. When I flash a rom I wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (of course), Flash the rom, flash gApps, flash cache/dalvik and more times than not my phone will never get past the HTC logo. Sometimes more lately with 4.4 roms my phone will boot loop only showing the HTC logo for a minute or two then restart. I root and flash several different types of phones for my friends all the time, and never have any of these issues that I've faced with my own phone.
I recently thought about trying to un-root, re-lock, and flash back to stock, then re-root and un-lock again but I'm not sure if that will even help.
Things I've tried:
Several roms
Moded kernel
Stock kernel
Multiple CWM versions
Multiple TWRP versions
Fastboot flash
Adb flash
Adb Sideload
Roms I am currently trying to flash:
AOKP unofficial (4.4.2)
BeanStalk (4.4.2)
CM-11 Nightly (4.4.2)
OSE Official (4.4.2)
My secondary HDD with all of the kernels, roms, and anything else I have tried recently failed so I don't have the specific version numbers for any of the attempts listed above.
If someone could give me any advice on this I would be eternally greatful. The Android/xda community has always been so helpful with many others in times of need, so now after spending months of research and trial & error I am reaching out to anyone here at xda that may be able to give me some advice/assistance.
Links to other threads/tools are greatly appreciated also! :good:
Thank you in advance.
-EDIT-
SOLVED
I took thay10's advice and flashed RUU. Since I got an error flashing RUU 3.04 I found RUU 1.15 here and flashed that successfully.
After that I verified my cid using this method.
When that turned out ok I continued to the HTCDev page to unlock my bootloader.
Once the bootloader was unlocked I used Facepalm S-Off method to achieve S-Off. (Using only the modified boot.img and DNA-rescue.img [links in thread]).
After all that was finished and I now had my bootloader unlocked and S-Off, I chose the recovery of my choice and flashed it using fastboot.
FINALLY, I was able to load the recovery and wipe everything (system,data,cache,sdcard) and flash a 4.4.2 rom of my choice!
Everything works perfectly now, I'm so relieved! Thank you again thay10 for your help. Hopefully this can help someone else out as well.
anyone?
Okay first thing. Looks like your doing a dirty flash and going from rom to rom may cause problems and clutter.
What I would advise is you to do a clean flash which involves you wiping. cache,data,system,sdcard.
But ONLY do this after you backup files you need, and make sure you have fastboot and adb installed and is working properly on your computer.
Edit: Are you still soff and bootloader unlocked?

Thank you for the advice. Yes I am S-off and my bootloader is unlocked. I noticed that the version of cwm I had installed was not wiping the system folder so I flashed 'Philz Touch 6' cwm and used that to do a full wipe including system,data,cache,sdcard and then used adb sideload to flash a couple roms. Each rom I flashed after a full wipe still won't boot. I continue to loop through the htc logo.
ADB and fastboot are both working properly, and htc drivers are fully up to date.
Roms I am currently trying to flash are:
AOKP unofficial (4.4.2)
BeanStalk (4.4.2)
CM-11 Nightly (4.4.2)
OSE Official (4.4.2)

I've never used CWM so I'll half to pass it on to someone else to help you.
Maybe you can try and flash a 3.04 RUU and or try flash TWRP which I know works because I use it everyday,

No problem. I was using TWRP for the longest time but I read a few different places that people were having issues flashing cm-11 on some versions of TWRP and to explorer versions of CWM that worked.
I have RUU downloaded but I have not ran it yet. What exactly will RUU do?
-EDIT- Also when would I run RUU? Would I have to restore my nandroid backup first or can it read my phone while in recovery through adb?
-EDIT- I went ahead and flashed RUU 3.04 while in the bootloader. It says it's sending to my phone right now so I will update shortly with a result.

I flashed the latest TWRP and when I sideload the rom I get the error saying "Error executing updater binary in zip '/data/'
This is the issue I was reading about when people were saying they couldn't flash cm-11 with TWRP. I've even tried installing cm-10.2 roms and had the same issue.

The RUU 3.04 flash finished and I got "ERROR 158; Image error. The rom update utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct rom update utility and try again."
Any idea what would cause that?
RUU was downloaded from HERE.

TWRP last time I checked didn't support CM thats why people switched to CWM
What are you trying to do to your phone? Most people only run RUU to get to stock.

I'm guessing you ran the exe. I was refering to the one thats a zip file and you flash it
