I have a Evo 3d, hboot 1.50 latest radios, prl, pri. I had OMJ's latest Rom, and used Flash Image Gui to flash a custom Kernel package; I flashed Tiamuts "Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense" http://downloads.tiamat-dev.com/8x60/110/Tiamat_E3D-v1.1.0-Sense.zip, and rebooted, then my phone was locked up on just the HTC screen.
I can still access the Bootloader, and Fastboot, and Recovery. I tried rolling back to my nandroid backup, and also reflashing the stock kernel through recovery (as the Rom won't ully load), and now all I get is a black screen after the HTC logo, and the phone is responsive to power and capacitive buttons, but no display at all.
Tried full wipe, and reflash of OMJ, even CleanRom.... Just black screen after HTC logo.... Any Ideas ? With Bootloader, Fastboot, and Recovery, you'd think I could unbrick, but no luck.
I'm sorry... I'm not a complete noob, I've been on the scene since early TP2s, and always rooted and custom rom’ed my Evo 4g.... Please help guys. Thanks in advance.

Since you're on the HTC unlock method, in order for the custom recovery to properly work, i.e. flash all partitions including the kernel/boot partition, you have to access the custom recovery differently than the traditional method.
The proper command and method to access the custom recovery in order for the HTC unlock method to grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition is through fastboot. The full command is: fastboot boot c:\cwm-recovery.img . Once you've temporarily fastboot booted the custom recovery, you can then properly flash a ROM or restore a nandroid as both will be allowed write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Appreciate your support in using my application! Hope that helps!
Deleted my own question. I think I found a thread where it will be more appropriate.
Like joeykrim stated, you must access the recovery from fastboot to be able to flash kernels, nandroids and what not from recovery if you used HTC's method to unlock you phone. You are not bricked. It is fully fixable.
I have Clockwork Recovery flashed, always have (the only version compatible with Hboot 1.50, v4.0.1.4). I still have full access to the Bootloader, Customer Recovery, and Fastboot. But despite reflashing a fresh Rom (2 in fact), full wipes, reflashing boot.img with stock kernel; all the phone will do is boot past the HTC screen, vibrate, and the screen goes black. Capacitive buttons are responsive, and so is the power button, just no display. ...... Idk what else to Flash to get this phone booting again, any ideas ?
I had same problem I have 1 file name PG86IMG.zip I don't remember from where I downloaded 1st Iplaced this on SD root folder and turn on phone with volume down and power button and it care of everything

You arent bricked if you can still get into fastboot, recovery, etc. I would recommend using this app called Flash Image GUI on the market, it's only $0.99 and I am (as we speak) flashing ziggy's dual core kernel. Oh wait my phone rebooted now. Its fast as all get out and my WiFi works (yay). But like I said this method is the EASIEST way to flash kernels!

I think the file you're referring to is the RUU (ROM Update Utility) file which can be placed in the root of the sdcard as PG86IMG.zip and flashed to competely reload all stock software (radios, system, kernel, etc) on the device.
These files are available at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu.

Seems as if there is some issue with the display. If you confirm you have adb access to the device, I would think the issue lies in the android /system. If you don't have adb access, I would think the issue lies in the kernel/ramdisk.
Either way, if you want to eliminate both issues, reflash my Stock ROM - [ROM] joeykrim-original-1.2.0 Odex *Stock Rooted 2.08.651.2*, which will reload the stock kernel and the stock system with only adding in root access. I run this ROM as my daily ROM and it works great for keeping the phone stock but allowing root access.
Make sure to access the custom recovery through, fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . If you load the custom recovery through adb reboot recovery, or bootloader and selecting recovery from the menu, the HTC unlock method will not grant recovery write access to the kernel/boot partition.
Worse case, my stock ROM with stock Kernel doesn't resolve the display issue, you should flash the stock RUU files at http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . If that doesn't resolve the issue, you'll prob need to exchange/return the device as it would seem to be a hardware issue.
Hope that helps! Good luck!
I'm running into a weird boot loop problem with my Atrix 4g. My phone is unlocked and I recently flashed to the Neutrino 2.5p GT update from 2.5 GT. I would usually do a clean install by doing Moto-fastboot -w, erase system/boot/preinstall and then install from the zip but this time all I did was install from the zip. After installing 2.5p GT from the zip, the phone booted up without any issues.
Now my problem started when I flashed the add ons. I re-downloaded and flashed the following add ons:
Live wallpaper add on
Sync add on
Theme Chooser add on
Deskclock/Default CM7 Alarm add on
GPS Mod (Pulled the US.zip file and flashed it, didn't flash "GPS Mod.zip")
Right Aligned Clock Mod
Lite gapps
After flashing the add ons my phone reboots itself before it can get past the Motorola dual core spash screen. The weird thing is now when ever I try to fastboot into my phone using rom racers tool, it says it's waiting to connect to the phone even though it's connected to my computer. I also tried to get into the android recovery but it keep freezing and rebooting after I select the recovery option.
Knowing this, what is the best way to go about getting my phone out of this boot loop? Would this be a job for NvFlash? (I'm unfamiliar with NvFlash, so this is just a guess)
Try to do a factory reset in recovery.
That should fix it
My problem is getting into recovery mode to do a factory reset. Right now my phone freezes and then restarts the boot loop process whenever I choose the recovery option. Are there any alternative ways of getting into recovery mode besides holding the power button + vol down and scrolling down to the recovery option?
I ran into the same problem the other day. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314607 to reinstall recovery.

Can you get into Fastboot?
Try:
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
That worked for me when I was stuck in a boot loop(going to stock)
Yeah. There was a boot problem on 2.5p. The problem was quickly fixed, but now there is a new 2.6 version that blows all previous away.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
ce12373 is right. The new 2.6 is sweet. You might also try pulling the battery, that seems to help a lot of people.
I would get into fastboot and do a full wipe then reflash from what i have read he suggest in the OP of the rom thread to do a full fastboot wipe
Hello , thank you for reading this. I'm trying to fix my amaze, it's stuck on the HTC boot logo. Phone was running latest tmobile rom, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it to remove some tmobile bloatware using bloat freezer. Well the phone kept having these weird problems so i looked to install a custom rom. I installed clockworkmod recovery and then put my downloaded rom which was in a ZIP file onto the sd card. I booted into recovery, made a backup, then wiped data, then wiped dalvick cache or w/e it's called. wiped partition, then installed the ROM. the initial setup went good, phone said successful boot but when i restart it stays on the boot logo. So after some reading it looks like i didn't flash the kernel. So i found the boot.img file in the rom zip file but now i'm not sure what to do with it. I can boot into recovery but that is it. How can i flash the kernel with just clockwork recovery mod? Please help! I obviously would really like to get my phone up and running.
So as of now i have some custom roms on the SD card along with the OEM Ruby rom. I tried installing the tmobile stock ruby rom and it just says install aborted and it can not install. What should i do now? I juts want to get the phone working now. Thanks
Install 4ext recovery, it will flash the kernel for you, just make sure to turn on smartflash in the settings before you flash a rom if you're still S-On. If you're S-Off, then no need for smartflash

thank you. is there a way to install 4ext when the phone is just in recovery mode? my phone is just at the clockwork recovery main home screen right now. i can mount the drive and put files on the phone but that is it. thanks again
Okay so the tmobile stock rom is on the sd card. I renamed it to PH85IMG.zip and booted into hboot mode, it found the zip package and there was a loading bar. But then it went back to the boot screen. I tried restarting and it wouldn't move past the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I tried using the all in one tool kit to flash 4ext but it just keeps saying waiting for device. Pretty sure it wont work in clockworkmod recovery. Starting to get worried

Too flash the T-Mobile ruu you would have to relock your bootloader first.
As for flashing 4ext with the toolkit, when it said waiting device, were you in the bootloader, or did u select fastboot?

i think he was in recovery. ok so flash 4ext with the toolkit (i think you need to be in fastboot for the toolkit to flash it). then go to tools(in 4ext recovery) scroll down till the end and make sure smart flash is enabled (when it says enable smart flash means its not enabled and you need to click that, if it says disable smart flash then dont touch it you re good). then you can install a custom rom and it wont boot loop
hope this helps
hey guys thank you so much for taking time to help me! i got it flashed with 4ext and now using smartflash i'm able to flash roms onto it. so relieved to get it working, thanks again!

Hi,
it's my first time rooting any android device, and a total noob in terms of flashing rom/kernels.
i have unlocked bootloader on HTCdev website. I used Hasoon2000s all in one root tool. I have flashed TWRP 2.3.3 and faux kernel.
now. i try to boot up my phone and it's stuck on the loading screen showing HTC. when i try to factory restore i goes in to recovery mode. In there somehow it says unable to mount internal storage and "/emmc'..
Please help. how do I get my phone to work again.
Thanks
Reuse the toolkit. Flash 4ext recovery. Flash a custom rom. Watch your phone successfully boot and thank me later
Dont worry about flashing a kernel, 4ext does it for you. You may get one reboot after splash screen, but it will boot after that

Hi, I rooted my HTC first (same rooting process), and I tried to flash Cyanogenmod 10.2 Nightly. Then when i booted into recovery and then did reboot system now, my device just goes into an endless boot loop. Any ideas?
Maybe because this is the HTC One section...

Boot loops aren't uncommon....
Simply get back into recovery and reflash. If you get boot loops again, you may have a bad download (but I would think that recovery would barf on the install). You might try a different ROM as well... My Xoom for instance would never install the EOS ROM but had no problems with CM.
