I have only seen a few threads where people were stuck on the white htc boot screen. And they were all rooted with custom roms and such. And if this was my phone, I would also be rooted with custom roms.
But this is my dads phone. Completely stock from the day he bought it. Two days ago, out of nowhere, it decided just to never turn on again.
It boots to the white htc screen and then hangs there. Every few seconds the screen will blink. I tried to remove the sim card and boot the phone because I read that can be an issue. But notta.
Hes not worried about his phone, (I know I can do a factory reset on it and get it running again). Hes worried about all of his data. He had a lot of very sentimental stuff on his phone. My Grandpa just passed away and he had all kinds of pictures and stuff on there. Now a lot of that might be on the sd card, but I don't know how much is on the phone storage itself.
So I have a bricked stock recovery, stock rom, not rooted rezound, and I need to know if its possible to get any data off of the onboard storage.
I have the drivers and I have tried to use adb from the stock recovery, but it adb will not recognize the device. Fastboot however does recognize the phone, but from my understanding, I can't do any backing up with fastboot. I would need adb for that. I have also read that adb will not recognize the stock recovery, that you need a custom recover like clockwork first. But In order for my to install clockwork, I would have to unlock the bootload and therefore wipe out all the phones data anyways.
So Im really having a hard time here. I don't want to have to tell my dad that any pictures of my grandpa that weren't on the sdcard are gone now.
Is there any way?
Thanks for the help
Try booting into the bootloader to run fastboot, not recovery.

ITS weird, I'm not used to this phone.... But when I hold the volume down and power button, then I select recovery..... It shows the white Htc Screen and then goes to a black screen and does nothing. And ADB won't detect it.

ok on your pc do you have a fastboot folder with all the required fastboot files needed...adb only works with rom running

I think so, ill have to double check when i get home from work in a bit. Im assuming because fastboot detects the phone fine.
If fastboot sees the phone and works, is there any way to pull the data off the phone? I was under the assumption that you could only "pull" and "push' files from adb.
So adb won't detect the phone at all unless the rom is running? So adb is out of the question?

Ok, im a little confused right now. Im sorry. Im not used to this phone, I personally have a Galaxy nexus which I rooted and put custom Rom'ed etc, and it was a little different.
When you say "use fastboot commands while in botloader / hboot"
What do you mean? When I start the phone by holding down the volume down key, it brings up the stock bootloader with a few options. (fastboot, recovery, factory reset, reload bootloader, and power off, I believe) But im not sure what you mean by hboot?
Fastboot only works if I select the fastboot from the bootloader on the phone. Then on the pc "fastboot devices" command detects the phone.
From there I should be able to use fastboot commands to pull data off of the phone your saying. Forgive me for this, but how do I know what commands to use to pull all the data off?
Again, thanks for coming in here and choosing to try and help me

fastboot will only allow you to use commands...for example...extract the boot.img outta the rom you tried flashing and put it in the folder on your pc where you have fastboot stored....then cd into the folder in command prompt and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotations....if you read my s-off you will never have to use fastboot to flash anything at all....as for adb there really isnt much you can do to "pull" stuff from your phone...htc works much different than samsung or any other androids
Edit: because you are s-on you always have to do this for flashing anything....including recovery....you have to unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com to run any fastboot commands though

Yea, the bootloader reads "SHIP S-ON"
So basically were screwed right now. There is no way for me to pull data like pictures off of the phones storage within fastboot. I would need to unlock the bootloader to do this, which will wipe the phones data anyways wont it?

no it just unlocks your bootloader...your not flashing a rom or wiping anything...and no theres no way to pull anything with htc phones in fastboot as far as i know...i think i may have seen a program that may do something but not sure...also this may help..once you unlock bootloader you can install a custom recovery and mount internal storage from custom recovery and pull your files off that way

Ohhhh ok, that would be great.
Im still a little scared about that though, because on my phone, unlocking the bootloader automatically factory rest and wiped data. And I keep reading everywhere that unlocking the bootloader on the rezound also wipes the data / factory resets. Even on the instructions posted here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/ht...nlocking-rooting-rom-ing-faq.html#post2083197
It states that your data will be wiped. And that the final steps asks you to confirm to a factory reset to unlock the bootloader?
I mean, I guess at this point its my only shot anyways, ill never get those pictures off with the bootloader locked. But are you certain that unlock wont do a factory reset?
Again, thanks for helping so far
EDIT:
Also while I was running through the steps on the htcdev.com, it gives this disclaimer:

Unlocking your bootloader with a stock phone/recovery will do a factory reset.
Mine reset when it was still stock and both guides here state the same thing. I believe if you have a custom recovery the phone can't auto run the factory reset.

I rarely disagree with you @REV3NT3CH, but I am going to have to this time and confirm @mjones73 statement... unlocking the bootloader wipes everything, it is clearly stated on HTCdev.com that it will do this as a security measure. The instant you complete the procedure, all data is wiped permanently.

Can a signed ph98img ruu be altered with 7zip without breaking a signature? I think I might have an idea and it involves flashing an empty userdata img, stock system img and matching boot.

I have read most of the unrooting issues and am very confused. I am new to rooting and oh so very green.
I tried to root my phone and ran into a problem. I manged to unlock but did not get access to SU. That is not even the issue anymore. I want to return the phone to lock. I assume I did not root since I do not have SU and all the root app said I do not have root access. I was weary of doing it in the first place and not I just want to go back. Not worth it for me. So I guess I need to know..
1 - How to lock it back. It has the "Tampered" "Unlocked" message when I boot to hboot (hope I am using the right terms).
2- I dont think I need to "unroot" cause I was not rooted in the first place and I did not of course add any ROMS.
I have read a lot of info but am a little intimidated but I do have pc skills so I am not TOTALLY dumb. Just dumb to rooting.
I guess I am stuck in limbo with the rooting issues and just want my phone back to norm. It's because I have now seen little stupid things going on with it. Like my volume keeps resetting itself from vibrate. I put it on vibrate and it goes into low loud volume by itself. Something in the root I guess.
Please Help...
Thanks!
BTW I am on ICS.
The only way to remove the "Tampered" would be to flash an RUU. But you have to have your boot loader relocked.
So, relock your boot loader, and then run the latest RUU.
Do you have a link for unrooting and relocking sprint galaxy s3? Please and Thank you

Ok Thanks Graywolf... but I have a couple of questions. From what I have been reading:
1- How do I "relock" the phone. Also I have heard relocking may cause it to brick? I am still "s-on".
2- Will flashing the RUU cause it to brick? I understand through various forums that if I flash the wrong ruu and go back to before my ICS update i cannot get the ics update. Is there a way to flash to the ICS update we received last summer?
3 - Will doing all of this fix the little problems I now have? Like I stated above.. my "vibrate setting do not stay on vibrate. I think if I let the phone screen time out itself (without pushing the power button) when I wake it back up it's on low volume instead of vibrate. If I push the power button to make it sleep, it tends to stay on vibrate. ALSO I now notice that if my wifi is on for instance at home and I leave the house it used to automatically go to 4g. now my radio stays off and i have to turn it on in the settings.
I guess in a nut shell.. if reverting it back will brick it, then I will have to put up with these bugs until I get another later on this year... probably in Oct.
Let me know and thanks alot for your help.:good:
Also...
Will Hasoon's all in one kit fix it?
Anyone? Gray?

First, BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT!
1. To relock the bootloader just reboot to hboot, and select "fastboot". Plug it in to your computer and (I assume you know how you unlocked it with fastboot commands) type into command prompt "fastboot oem lock".
2. The RUU will not flash unless your bootloader is relocked. So do step 1 first and then flash the OTA from this website.
3. An RUU will return your phone to the factory state. This should fix many problems that you may have.
RUU should fix things, and if it doesn't, then you know it is a hardware issue.

Hey Gray... ok I was able to relock... however flashing to the RUU from the link you sent.. it didn't work. After I loaded the zip file onto the SD card.. it does nothing when I boot to bootloader... reads zip and comes back and says no image.
The question I have it since I never loaded a ROM or another RUU can I just wipe it from inside the menu and start from start?

Well now that doesnt work. When I try to hard reset the message comes up that it is reseting.. then boots to hboot. It wont factory reset. I tried factory resetting from hboot and it does nothing.
The PH98IMG is not on my sd card... I actually took it out.
Can you reset from a command prompt? Hopefully that will work.

Hello,
My amaze 4g is currently running GB with the bullet proof custom rom i found here a couple years ago.
The boot loader is unlocked, and it is S-ON.
I wanted to try and update my phone to an ICS rom such as NRGZ28's energy Rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759.
First attempt, I factory reset the phone, cleared cache and cleared dalvik cache and flashed the rom. I chose the option to install it using the stock HTC kernel. The installation went smooth without errors until the final reboot to finalize the installation. The phone gets stuck in the white screen with the green htc logo on it. I recover using Clock Work Mod and everything is back to the old GB setting.
I assume it is because i have an outdated kernel so I go to NRGZ28's thread and download the stock kernel he has posted there. I flashed the kernel using Flash Image GUI apk. This is where the problem happens. After flashing the kernel, the phone is stuck on infinite loop at the above mentioned htc screen.
I flash the energy rom with the newly flashed stock kernel and the phone finally gets past the htc logo screen, but freezes shortly after during the blue animated splash screen and proceeds to repeat this. I can get into boot loader just fine, but am unable to get my phone working again even after a Clock work mod recovery.
please help!!
There is a special process you have to follow when going from GB to ICS, you can't just flash the latest kernel and expect it to work with ICS.
I would do a full wipe/factory reset, then follow the instructions here to upgrade to ICS stock, then you can install whatever ICS ROM you want:

Alright now I'm having a completely unrelated trouble trying to re-lock my bootloader. Yes, I am S-on. I've tried to factory reset but the phone still ends up looping on the htc logo screen. I type in "fastboot oem lock" on sdk but it just hangs at "waiting for device".

Are you able to get into the bootloader, fastboot, or recovery? I'm unsure of which HTC screen you are talking about, if it is the one before trying to boot into Android then I would just ignore it for now. If you're having trouble relocking the bootloader, you might try this toolkit, which includes a tool to relock the bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1493905
All this stuff can probably be found in the HTC Amaze Bible, which you should probably familiarize yourself with before messing around and potentially bricking your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486

Yes, it is the screen right before it boots onto your phone's lock screen or main screen. Yes, I can get into the bootloader, fastboot, and the recovery without any problems.

If you can get into the bootloader, fastboot, and recovery, then you should be able to continue the steps and get it working again. Try the Toolkit method of relocking bootloader and continue upgrade to ICS.

The all-in-one toolkit is not recognizing my device. Not sure if it's a problem with windows or the toolkit.
Also, it seems the toolkit only works if you are able to actually get to your phone's home screen, which I am unable to do.
So frustrating.....

Here are some more instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575550&highlight=relock+bootloader
It seems as though the problem is with ADB communicating with your phone. Type in "ADB devices" to see if it is detecting your phone.
Also make sure the file "fastboot.exe" is in the same folder as your ADB file that your command prompt is using.
---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------
Also are you in bootloader or fastboot when you are trying to do this? I believe you should be in fastboot.
To enter fastboot: Boot into bootloader (hold power and volume down button), scroll down to fastboot, hit the power button.
Now try executing the fastboot command using adb. (remember to make sure fastboot.exe is in same folder as adb)
Alright, so I got it relocked by hooking it up to an old tower. It seems it was an issue with windows not recognizing my phone for some reason.
NOW, there's a new problem. On the bootloader menu, on the top it says "RELOCKED". I choose the recovery option, and it immediately takes me back to the bootloader menu displaying a "Security Warning" message under "RELOCKED".
I am going to cry.:crying:

This is good... I think. You can now move on to the next step in these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575550&highlight=relock+bootloader
You have to rename the RUU to what is says in that link, place it on an external SD card, then reboot into bootloader. Then it should automatically install the update (there might be a prompt, just hit yes).

Yes!!! I finally got it to work! Oh my god thank you so much. Thanks for being so patient with me. I dont know what more i can do do express my gratitude. It just felt amazing to see everything working and falling into place after hours and hours of hopelessness.
So from here on, I assume I just get back onto the boot loader menu, Unlock the boot loader again, then flash the rom I want.
Thank you again.

You can flash any *ICS* ROM you want. There's another process if you want to go back to GB (though I'm not sure why you would want to).
You should be able to use the Toolkit to unlock the bootloader again, and I would recommend flashing the 4ext recovery while you're at it. From there you should be good!

Thats fine now since you are locked you can download the ruu file pertaining to your phone/carrier and put it in the root of your external sd card and boot into the bootloader and it will automatically detect the ruu and start updating. however you must rename the ruu appropriately (depending on which carrier your phone is) for T-Mobile you rename the ruu file ph85img and it detects it automatically. Good luck

Yep I was just overreacting. After I renamed the ruu file, everything fell into place and my phone is now functioning with ICS.
So apparently, my phone isn't rooted anymore? is this normal?
Flashed 4ext using the all-in-one tool kit. Nothing happened. Can't run any apps that require root. I'm confused.
Yeah, that's totally normal after flashing an RUU and relocking the bootloader. Just re-root, here's a really easy tool for it: http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/01/how-to-root-htc-amaze-4g/

That tool doesn't work for some reason, even though its the tool I used when I first rooted my phone. I just went and did the fastboot flash unlock_code.bin to unlock my phone again.
But for some reason, I can't get 4ext to flash... I went through the steps in the link you provided but my phone doesn't show the app nor am i able to access it through the recovery option from the boot loader menu.
Sooo, playing with rooting, been rooted for a couple days, flashed viperlte rom and had problems and decided to take it back to stock for now. Gonna be on the road and can't be 'experimenting'...attempted to go back to stock, by using the original RUU, and as I understood it, I needed to lock the phone back first. Didn't make sense as I was wondering how I could flash a Rom if it was locked back. After locking, when trying to go to recovery, it just comes back to fastboot. I can't get into the main phone--it boots to a screen, but no buttons work, although if i press volume up/down it shows it on the screen. What have I done?! I'll admit being a newb to phones, so please, some guru help me get back to something
Here's what fastboot shows:
TAMPERED
RELOCKED
SECURITY WARNING
Fireball pvt ship s-on rl
Hboot 1.15

It wouldn't read either of the mini sd-cards I used after rooting, so I can't just get use my sdcard with a new or original rom. I can't get to a main phone screen to turn on usb debugging, so no adp? Any ideas?

Thank you for the response. Tried this, it loaded the zip, then went to 'checking' and after that, back to the bootloader. Never asked me if I wanted to proceed. When rebooted it brought me back to where I was, a phone which appears to be up--clock works, wifi is on, but I can't do anything. I feel pretty confident the img is good. Thoughts?

I am trying to help a friend who brought me his phone yesterday, I've searched everywhere and can't find anything that works. His phone is stock no root, it is locked and tampered with a security warning on 2.06. The RUU doesn't work because of 2.06. I can't get moonshine to work either. I can't get to recovery and I can push a recovery image either through adb. I'm out of ideas and figured the best place to go for help is the community. I can get fastboot and fastboot usb up but that's about as far as I can get. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you for the reply. The device only boots to the white bootloader screen. Selecting factory reset or recovery simply takes me back to bootloader. If i try to just boot into the device it stays at the htc splash screen. Adb shows no devices attached but I can still issue fast boot commands through terminal. I've tried pushing a recovery to it without success.

Well...since you are Sprint you probably unlocked via HTC dev. You can flash your unlock token again which will allow you to flash a custom recovery. You can then flash the current rooted Rom and use sunshine to s off again. The hard option is flashing an older Rom to use firewater as doing so will make your phone reboot about every thirty seconds because of the firmware mismatch. I can help you get it done that way if you want...up to you. Six of one half dozen of the other. You can almost always fix a phone that still boots to hboot and is unlockable. You won't have adb in the current mode either btw....
