Help!!!! Stuck in hboot!! Can't get back to restore - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help!!!! Stuck in hboot!! Can't get back to restore
Every time I try to hold the volume button down and press the power button, it keeps wanting to reinstall PG05IMG even though I have installed it. It wont load to the bootloader or anything but reboot which is locked at HTC. It IS something I tried to load but I normally can get back to restore my phone back to wherever I want to restore but I'm locked on HTC.
Is there any way to get past the HBOOT?? It just keeps going back to the PG05IMG (2.5)
I tried to load a blue package

You'll want to remove your SD Card and throw it in another phone or card reader, then remove the PG05IMG.zip. You should be able to get back into Recovery from there.
Prepare to be flamed either way for not posting this in the proper forum.

Remove SD card and use either card reader or older phone and remove the pg05img file from it. Then you an get into recovery via hboot

take the sd card out, load it on your computer and delete the file..then re-install the sd card and boot into Hboot... it will now let you into recovery

you guys beat me to it lol.

Do you have another smartphone handy? If so throw your SD card in it and delete the PG05IMG file off of it then reinstall to your phone...
Edit. Damn I'm slow.

You can take sdcard out, boot phone to hboot with battery in and plugged into charger. Once in hboot, remove battery, put in sdcard, put battery in, select recovery. I have used this trick, works, phone stays on without battery with charger pluged in. Probably dont have to replace battery, I did though.

Go with the 6 exact same solutions listed above! Make sure you wear a flame retardent suit though!

I can understand the panic. Probably could have searched it though

Glad to see so much developing happening . In the Questions forum.

It's really not that big of a deal.

Uh..... Should he remove the SDcard, put it in another phone or card reader and delete pg05img.zip? I'm not sure I got that?

Restored to Factory, But Thunderbolt will only boot in HBOOT, HELP!

I looked around for a while and didn't see this, so help if you can!!!
Ok, I followed the instructions to return to factory by placing the PG05IMG on the SD, because I had tried to root a couple of times and it kept messing up, and I was seeing some bad side effects.
Everything went through fine, and I setup the phone, etc. Then I turned it off, and it will NOT start up normally. It will only start with the volume down + power startup method into HBOOT. What do I need to do?
I will say I did delete the pg05IMG file from the SD after the phone went back to factory state, in case I have to trade in the phone or something, could that be it?
I am sure you did this, but did u pull the battery ans let it air for a minute?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
i tried that, but no luck
Thanks for the idea. I have messed with it some, and it won't power on with just the power button. With power and volume down it will go into hboot,and with pier and volume up,it will boot normally...
Sounds like you are back to stock... have you tried a factory reset?
yeah, i am back stock, which is what i wanted...
For some reason I couldn't get root to take, so I am going to try down the line...
And yeah, after I returned to stock I did a factory reset, but no luck. Might be worth trying again. Any other ideas?
Bad download of the software? Try redownloading it and flashing the new file.
still not working
I did ANOTHER factory reset, feels like about my 7th time setting up the phone. Geez. Still no luck. I verified the file download when I went back to stock, with he checksums, so I don't think its that. I don't fully understand hboot, is that something on the phone to start with, or something you have to add to make it accessible? This is killing me....
anyone?
Still don't have a resolution on this one, if anyone has any ideas...

don't try flashing a stock pg05img.zip(remove it from sdcard)....download the stock RUU(see Dev forums) and plug your phone in and run that. Then reroot.
OK!~
Try this...(even though it may sound bad)
You need to do the clear storage option then re-install the update.
I just did this on my incredible because i accidentally installed an older ROM and it would do the same thing as mentioned in your post...
But now my phone is working again
Good Luck !

A lot of instructions say, "if the md5 does not match do not reboot, stop delete it, redownload it, check md5 and start over." Always read it through twice before you perform. Like a carpenter...measure twice cut once. I am sure one of your md5 did not match and you triggered the nasty side effect. Everyone should download md5 checker from market....and use it.

Need Help :( user error!!

I was going to flash a ROM so I went into TWRP and wiped everything. Then I noticed I needed to update my radio. while still in recovery I I turned on usb toggle mode and sent the radio to my sd card. I rebooted into recover and it asked me to update my PG86IMG file so I said yes. I then had to press power to reboot, only problem is I have no ROM to boot to. and when I remove batter to get into recovery it's asking me if I want to update again. I hit no and the only other option I have is to hit power to reboot, but again there's nothing to boot to. My phone is stuck on splash screen.
How can I fix this?
Isnt there a IMG file that will put you back to stock ROM, recov and everything? I'd look for it in development.

but how would this work? I can't do anything but remove battery then go into recovery but when I go into recovery it's asking me to update my IMG file. I hit no, but there's no option to go back into recovery. the only option I have is to hit power to reboot which leaves me stuck on splash screen. How would I get any file on my phone?
Through the bootloader, you may need to use a card reader if one is available. That's probably the only way to get the img file onto your card at the moment.

You will need to use a SD reader like ^^^ said. Once you get it off, put a rom on there at the same time and flash.
This is why nandroids are a life saver. You can call me sissy all you want, I like to have my ducks in a row just in case.

Guess I mis-read this part.

Think I bricked my phone.

So, I did an idiot thing and flashed the last Meanrom I believe version 4.0. The idiot part was that I flashed Leedroid Tweeks De-odexed version. Well, now my phone only boots to the HTC screen. When I hold volume up while powering on the phone, it takes me to HBOOT, and then looks for updates. If I cancel the update, it says reboot. If I do the updates, it says reboot. Can anyone help me get my phone working or am I out of luck and have to buy a replacement? (I tried posting this in the Meanrom thread, but I don't have enough posts to post in there).

It doesn't give the option to go into recovery on the HBOOT screen. It should say Fastboot
Recovery
Reboot
or something like that. You didn't brick it, just messed up the ROM partition by flashing incompatible things. You just need to reflash the ROM or another one in recovery.
Great, I will try that on my lunch. A buddy of mine is going to get an adapter for my micro sd to be a full size sd card. I will then put that in the computer and see if I can delete the file you mentioned. Thank you very much for the reply. I will post back if this fixes my problem.

Dear all,
Here is the situation. I decided to root my evo 3d gsm (hboot 1.5++) today, and all went well until I flashed a rom (virtuous). Now whenever I boot on the phone, it shows me this "V" logo and loads for more than 10minutes or so. I can go into my bootloader, but when I attempt to do anything from my clockworkmod recovery, when I press the power button to select different options, I get blank menus and I can attempt nothing. I am an unexperienced user, and can anyone out there who is experience render some assistance? I am at my wits end...
Thanks
Well I'm not too familier with the gsm version... the "V", is that part of the boot animation? and does it just loop over and over? maybe try reflashing clockworkmod and re wipe and install?

The "V" is the part of the boot animation. And the "V" just glows again and again, yeah so i guess it loops. Why I am so worried is because I saw a window of my HTC sense booting to life earlier on, but I saw the words "Unfortunately... has... crashed..." but it was very brief, and after which the animation began again. Is it because I waited for too short a period of time? (around 15 minutes or so) or because it really boot looped? And how do I reflash clockwordmod when I can't access my phone and sd card? Will appreciate your kind help...
I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for something too boot, and it should really never take longer than that. Can you tell me the steps you took to flash the rom(not to root it). and could you give some more info about your phone? are you s-on or s-off? And what do you mean by blank menus in clockwork mod? Do you know how to boot into your hboot menu? from there you can boot to fastboot and install the recovery from your pc. connect your phone to the pc while in fastboot mode and get your recovery.img file and type the following command from the command line:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img

Ok, here is the infomation. I live in Singapore, which is a part of Southeast Asia, my phone is the GSM version with HBoot 1.530007(i cant remember the decimal placing).
I firstly used HTCDEV to unlock my bootloader, which went well, then I went to evohacks to get the conventional rooting method, which went well too. And it all came when I was careless, and I accidentally forgot to wipe the data and cache of my evo before i flashed the rom. And now it gets stuck in the "V" logo loading phase. If the hboot menu is the menu where I have to press the powerbutton and the volume down button then yes. I can also get into my recovery, but the problem is that it shows a blank menu in (clockwordmod specifically), thus rendering whatever me helpless. i have downloaded the PG86IMG.zip and Im waiting for it to finish. So how do I go about solving this matter? This phone is my only asset and I really want to save it...
Blank menu as in for example when I click "Reboot", or "Factory Reset" or perhaps "Restore" in the CWD Recovery, it just shows me a blank menu with the CWD logo in the background, with no options or drop down words or whatsoever. And the sad thing is that I did not make any recoveries at all.... So I plucked my sd card out, and now im waiting to finish downloading the PG86IMG.zip to put on my sd and into my phone, and flash it to revert it back to stock and stuff..... I hope this works
Ok, well as long as you can get to either hboot or recovery you'll be ok. I would recommend flashing 4ext recovery, as it has never failed me and seems to help others. here is the link to it. Download that and pull the recovery.img out and flash that from your pc with the command I gave above. It sounds like you are either pushing the wrong button in the recovery or it might just be messing up for some reason. Is it the touchscreen version of clockworkmod?

The recovery is the free version, so it shouldn't be the touch one. May I ask, what do you mean by recovery.img? I emptied my SD card so that I can put the PG86IMG.zip into it later. Any more specific steps you can give? Sorry but Im really a newb in the android world

The recovery.img is the image that the phone flashes to install the recovery. If you look in the zip I posted in the link you'll see that file in there. the one I posted is the 4ext touch recovery. you can manually flash that file to your phone in case you can't get it to boot(like your case). I would suggest trying the 4ext recovery I linked, or maybe try to boot to recovery again and see if its touch based. Were the menus working when you flashed the virtuous rom, and then it stopped working?
OH stupid me. Whoops. Actually I CAN navigate. Ive been pressing the wrong button all this while. I pressed the power instead of the camera, which is the select button. Whoops. seems like CMD was working after all. sorry...
ok but still, can I just attempt to install the RUU file I downloaded in the CWD menu? Will it work? Will my phone be reverted back to its original unrooted state? I saw someone say it could...
There is something bugging me though. My SD card is now completely empty. Will it have any negative effects on what i do?
I thought something like that was happening, glad you got it sorted. Try to wipe everything and reinstall your virtious rom again first. yes the PG86IMG.zip will return you back to complete stock, recovery and all. So if you do that you might have to re-root all over again.

So theoretically flashing the ROM shouldn't take more than... around 15 minutes?
correct
Its now 10 minutes and so far my phone had made 2 major vibrations. So if this doesn't work, can i just wipe all the data again, put the PG86IMG.zip in my phone, go to recovery to install it, and then I just press reboot right?

Sometimes sense roms can take a bit, but if its vibrating than it should be working. if not just put the PG86IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot and let it do its thing. no need to wipe data for that.

[Q] Rezound wont turn on

Well I've really done it this time. The phone will not power up at all. Ever since the whole Google Maps Rebooting issue the phone has been worthless. It hasn't been able to be turned on in a week. Just black screen. Before it completely failed it would boot, but after about 10 seconds it would restart or power off.
I have a feeling that the battery is not charging. When I plug it in to charge the orange battery led lights up but for only a couple of seconds and then it turns off. Maybe I need to get an external charger or something to charge my battery.
I would love to send the phone back for warranty, but I'm unlocked and rooted, so I am afraid that they won't help me out with warranty. Also, I would love to sell the phone, but obviously I'm not going to sell a phone that doesn't work.
If I could just get the phone to turn on so I can get some of my personal documents off of it that would be great. For some reason the phone stopped syncing contacts a few months ago and I need to get these off of the phone. Anyway. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for any help/ideas.

does this file get flashed in recovery like a normal rom? Does it take me back to locked/non-rooted? Thanks.
Rename to PH98IMG.zip, put on the root of the external SD, boot to bootloader and it will do the rest automatically. Make sure you delete the file from the SD after you're done so you won't have trouble in the future.
EDIT: It might reboot two or three times during the installation and look like it's doing some things multiple times. That's normal, so don't panic.

Flashing the RUU will get you phone back to 100% right out of the box stock.
it will update your hboot to 2.27 and lock it.
it will wipe internal storage.
it will give you global firmware and kernel.
all you need to do is relock the device via fastboot command " fastboot oem lock"
then place zip on root of the sd card and rename it to PH98IMG.zip
boot into hboot and it will detect it.
first flash will update hboot, firmware, kernel, splash, radio
it will reboot automatically. (back to fastboot)
then go back to hboot and let it run one more time. (this will take a while as its wiping, formatting, then installing system files)
after its all complete it will boot the phone into the os.
Ok, I'm going to go for this tonight when I get off work.
Hopefully the RUU OS stops the rebooting problem I am having. I am currently running Scott's Clean ROM. I was working great since about May, but now even after a few wipes and re-installs, it still has the reboot bug. Phone won't stay on for longer than 5 minutes and it continually reboots and quickly drains the battery. Basically it is unusable. I was able to flash Amon Recovery and that did fix the charging issue, but it didn't help with the reboots.
Hopefully after the RUU it's back to stable.

It should, Scotts Rom is to old. Once you do the ruu, do a clean install of a newer Rom
