Hey guys.. I'm in a situation. My DNA is S-off, running VIPER rom. Last nite around 7 it stated it was going to restart, but press something to stop it. No matter what i pressed it did nothing. So i was forced to let it restart. Now it wont go past the HTC screen. It did that til the phone died. When i charge it, it attempts to boot again. When I hold the volume down and power I get the screen with recovery and reboot options. but i only have a few seconds then it goes back to rebooting. I'm not sure how to get it to stay in fast boot, or recovery. Its almost like none of the side buttons work when I'm in the other boot menu (sorry, for the life of me, i cant remember what that menu is called. its the one I access TWRP from) Any help would be greatly appreciated

See if you can select power down from the hboot menu. If you can, leave it off and charging then. If that works, when you boot it up into fastboot hours later try flashing the exe I have posted in the General section. It won't wipe data so your stuff should still be there data wise.

So I just used Bootmanager for the first time. I was having alot of issues so I rebooted and now it sits at the splash screen and it isn't going into the bootloader. Kind of freaked out.
What do I do to fix this?
Thanks.
are you s-on or s-off?
I'm S-off on 1.49
edit: sorry, I meant 1.40
If u can get to recovery, go to install zip and find the boot manager folder, look in there for a phone Rom folder, their will be an update.zip, flash it and reboot.
I can't get to the recovery. It wont even boot to the spash screen unless it's plugged in.
Pull the battery, put it back in, hold vol down and power, what happens?
Well if it's unplugged it wont do anything. But, if it's plugged in, it goes to the splash screen.
Plugged into what, ac power or USB to comp? Try taking out the sd card and then try vol down and power.
Either the usb to computer or AC. It does it for both.
Took out the sd, no change.
I haven't seen a prob like this, without hboot you'd never see the splash screen, it has to be there. Maybe leave the battery out for a few minutes then try holding vol down+power. If you can get to hboot then you're good but with no hboot your not so good.
Hmm, so my red charging led is blinking now while the phone is off, wasn't doing that before, any idea on what that means?
I know that when I drain my battery all the way till it shuts off, it won't charge and I get the blinking red led. I have to put in a spare battery and let the other sit for a few hours befor it'll charge.
What's it do when u just press power? Just goes to the white HTC screen and stays?
Yeah it does that, I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my vol down.
Does it feel like it "clicks"? Take the case off and try to press vol down+power.
edit..Lol, just tried it without the case and its not as easy as I thought.
It does click, I tried it without the case, it was working earlier today though. The last time I had it on, I was rebooting into recovery and the screen went black and just sat there, so I did a battery bull and that is where I am now, Would something have happened if I did a battery pull in that state?
I wouldn't think so... I've had to pull it in situations like that, generally you just don't want to pull the battery during an ruu update or a pg86img update, when its writing to certain partitions. What recovery are you using and what Rom did you try to flash with boot manager?
I'm using TWRP 2.0 and my phones rom was on mean rom. I put ics playground on slot 1 and was having alot of issues getting the phone to wake up and random freezes and crashes. I attempted to boot back to my phones rom but it wasn't doing it. So I attempted to flash Chads AnthaX ICS playground kernel and bootmanager crashed. so I decided I would just boot into recovery and do flash the update zip for bootmanager.
That is everything I did

It just sounds like something weird happened to your recovery partition. If you pull out the battery and put it back in, then plug a usb cable into your computer. Do not turn it on. Run the command "adb reboot bootloader" (from your computer). that should turn on the phone and put it into the bootloader. From there, redownload your custom recovery of choice to your computer. Make sure you have a .img file. Type in "fastboot flash recovery [NAMEOFRECOVERYIMAGE].img". Now run your custom recovery and restore the update.zip for your ROM.
~co~
I'd be very surprised if your phone is broken. Sounds like an easy fix and I wish I could help more. You really can't do anything without getting to the hboot screen. No ruu, no turning s-on to re downgrade, no loading a recovery from fastboot.... I'm trying to think, maybe somebody else will jump in here and teach both of us somethin.
I know that a couple of other ppl had prob with a certain release of playground and twistedumbrella fixed them right up. Maybe you could hit him up. He's way more pro than I am.
well my phone is now stuck on the htc screen... help please
I was running meanrom 3.0 then dirty flashed 3.9. My phone would turn off randomly so i restored it to 3.0. Then my text messages wouldnt work couldnt send or receive. So then i full wiped, restored and still no text. Then I full wiped and hit reboot system. And now it is stuck. I guess it is stuck because i didnt restore or install a rom? I cant even get to the bootloader. So is this phone a paperweight now?
Hold power down, this will cause a simulated battery pull, the phone will turn off, wait a second or two then press and hold power button and volume down and you will boot to the boot loader. Be very careful next time
Edit so long as your phone responds there is almost always a way to fix it, you only worry when phone stops responding (screen off won't charge won't turn on)
I wish more people would read my guide I included problems (even this exact one) to help people avoid them
ok got to bootloader. THANKS
No problem I'm glad I helped.
Note: This exact problem and many others are in the troubleshooting section of my guide. (Sorry if I don't advertise no one will use it lol)
Yep.... you wiped the ROM and then tried to boot nothing.
yeah....this is clearly covered in my guide...lol
So here's the gist of it all...
I have an HTC Evo 4G LTE (which is why I'm in this forum) that has been unlocked and rooted using the HTC-Method and is still S-ON. I am using TWRP and my rom is the MeanRom ICS version 4.9. I didn't change any of the settings (i.e. I didn't change any of the values that would affect performance). My phone has been working fine up until this point which is why I am currently asking you all for your help. Last I checked everything was working fine until my phone tried to connect to multiple WiFi access points at the same time and the system crashed I'm guessing and is currently looping.
I have tried a hard reset by holding down the power button til the soft keys blinked and the phone turned off, but it boots itself back up and goes into a loop again. It won't stay turned off and won't completely turn off. I have tried holding the power and up button to get into recovery and it doesn't do anything. I've tried holding the up button as it goes into the next loop to no avail.
For those familiar with MeanRom, it goes past the HTC screen that says this rom is for development purposes etc...then shows the little blue, roaring android, and finally gets the the MeanRom ICS boot logo. At start up there is a buzz like a text message comes in and right before the phone fully boots there is a smaller, softer vibration. My phone gets to this point and then freezes and reboots.
Sorry for the long post, but I figured the more information I give, the better my chances of getting some help. The battery was at about 85% when it went into this bootloop so I'm going to try and just have it discharge itself and charge it up and see what happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Have you tried clearing dalvik and cache? Sometimes that helps

I can't get to recovery, bootloader...nothing. I can't do anything, it just keeps looping. I can't even turn it off.
Hold power until it turns off and then hold power and volume down, it should boot to bootloader and then you can select recovery. Have you tried to boot in safe mode

I mentioned before that it won't let me get into recovery. It doesn't work
No, you clearly wrote you held power and up. I said power and volume down, they are in fact not the same thing

What about safe mode? Hold volume down when you get to the splash, it will hang a bit and vibrate then you let go and it will force safe mode

It vibrates, hangs, then reboots again.
When you try to get into the bootloader are you sure you're letting go? Once the phone turns off you need to let go of power and then hold power and volume down. Some people seem to think you hold power and volume down till the phone restarts and keep holding it, I don't know how people came to that conclusion.

I got it to go into safe mode, shut it down completely and then got it to go into recovery. Wiped and reinstalled and now it's working. Thanks for your help with this!
Complete noob here, sorry if this is a repost
I haven't been able to find a situation exactly like mine. If there is, I apologize in advance for this being a repost. Yes, I am a stupid noob. I had my EVO 4G LTE on HBOOT 1.19 and I unlocked the bootloader, flashed recovery and did all the necessary steps (including kernel adaptations) to flash CM10. Upon doing this I also got stuck in the bootloop and couldn't access recovery. I took it to a Sprint store and they somehow got it back to TWRP recovery and it's currently at the TWRP menu. Here's the problem: I didn't do a backup before doing any of this and I don't have anything to backup to (shoot me). I'm afraid that if i try to get back to the bootloader menu that I will screw it up even more. What do I do/download to get it back to stock? Any help toward this desperate noob would be extremely appreciated

load into fastboot and try to flash a boot.img and the stock rom (there a multiple threads/guides on how to do this) this guide is for the one x but it is the same for evo lte http://onexroot.com/one-x-roms/how-to-install-rom-and-boot-image-on-htc-one-x/
stock roms available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766628
I was doing a backup with TWRP and everything seemed to go just fine. Then after a reboot i unlocked the phone to notice that it was leaving the lock-screen icons on the bottom of the page. I still had access to my notification bar and could clear notifications. Figuring that there had just been a mistake in the boot process, I held the power button to restart the phone. Well it never brought up my power menu to restart. Also instead of making me wait ten seconds until it flashed its lights and restarted, it just restarted in like 3 seconds. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC ONE screen and will not respond to anything including hold the power button.
My phone is rooted an s-off. I know that I have not posted at all on here, but I have been rooting and know how at least the basics on adb shell. I just have never had a phone lock up to this point. If I can at least get to recovery, I should have 2 or 3 backups to run. I just don't want to have to wait for the phone battery to die just to hope I can get to recovery.

Are you saying volume up + power button does not restart your phone nor does any help? Check if your phone is detected in computer and if so you can issue and adb reboot command
also since there is no removable battery HTC added a reboot function press home vol down and power that should do the trick
The phone is not detected by a computer, nor will it charge. Vol down and power is not cutting it off. Right now I am waiting for the battery to die so I can hopefully boot into recovery and do a restore.
Vol up + Power was the key. I was thinking it was volume down. Thanks for all your help

Just wanted to point out I ran into this issue also (Stuck on white HTC boot screen) after wiping my ROM and Vol UP + Power did the trick for me also (and then Vol Down + Power to get back to the bootloader).
i need help, guys
so attempting to install a new rom, i must have dont something wrong because now restarting the phone will leave me on the htc logo loop and restart. i still have access to hboot and fastboot. but when attempting to load into twrp, it shows the team win logo for half a second and then restarts the phone. then i installed cwm and it does boot into it but whatever option i pick, install zip, wipe data, ANYTHING, restarts the phone.
i have no idea what to do. i tried installing a rom using adb sideload but it stops at around 80%, ive tried installing different versions of twrp and cwm and same thing. i think it is bricked. im using the verizon htc one max. the only option i see left is the ruu toolkit but ive only been able to find the sprint version and then it says that bootloader needs to be locked and i have not idea how to do that from hboot, fastboot, or cwm
attempting to install superuser also fails
if there's anyone here that can help, please, any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks =:laugh:
Sounds like you're flashing the wrong TWRP.

May I suggest following these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51753483&postcount=129
If you're able to complete those instructions outlined in that post, this should set you up with the latest HBOOT, Radio and TWRP (Recovery) for the Verizon HTC One.
Make sure you read the post fully before you start, especially this part:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (Be sure it finishes saying 'successful', not 'please flush again immediately'. If it says the flush again, rerun the command)
If you succeed in getting that done, see if TWRP still causes the phone to reboot and get back to us.
This happened this moring for no apparent reason, i moved a file for a game to be installed (final fantasy iv) in the android/oob folder and rebooted, and it never fully did.
Im stuck on the HTC logo forever.
At 1st i said to myself, lets go to hboot and make a factory reset, so i pressed volume - and power, and when i did, instead of restoring the device (wich was unlocked and rooted) it went back to the neverending htc logo, and it does the same for the recovery and the erase everything one, so from that point i tried installing a few firmwares from my carrier which is videotron, and it alway failed either because the signature is not compatible or simply because the device is not detected... it seems to get worst try by try...
I also tried to install from the sd card, adb or Amaze_All-In-One_Kit_V5.1 and 4.0.
Nothing works, please help me.
I just bought this phone used a month ago, and i loved it, and its unfair for it to die for no serious reason.
Are you able to access bootloader?

If it went to the HTC logo, you probably accidentally bypassed the recovery.
Turn the phone off, remove battery wait 10 seconds, install battery, wait 10 seconds, hold the volume DOWN button, while holding the volume DOWN button, press and release the power button. Keep holding the volume DOWN button until the bootloader screen appears, and then release it.
See what you can do with that.
If it doesn't help, find the RUU for your carrier--there's a list of RUU's in General section, "They're all here now" thread, and find the instructions for properly renaming it and placing it where it needs to go to have it install.
