Help! Im stuck in HBOOT! Will not recover! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Someone please explain to me what to do. Should I start shopping for a new phone? I can't boot into recovery mode because it just goes back to HBOOT. I've tried a factory reset and it goes right back into HBOOT. I'm not quite sure what I've done...I was attempting S-OFF which didn't work and my phone worked fine until I unplugged it from my computer. The only thing I did differently was "simlock" which said it failed then it got stuck in HBOOT. Im so mad at myself. Please tell me there's a way to fix this. HBOOT - 1.22.0000 Radio - 1.11.00.0831 S-ON
Im a newb so bear with me please.

You have no option to boot into any sort of recovery? It sounds like your os is corrupted and you may need to get into recovery to boot a working rom.

Which phone is it? Most likely ann RUU for your device.

It's an HTC Hero-S for us cellular.

Could I use an RUU for an Evo 3d? I can not find one for a hero s anywhere.
EDIT: I meant the HTC Evo Design 4g
EDIT2: I have been up all night trying different Evo design 4g RUUs and each one of them tells me I can't use it for my device.

Is there any way to unbrick my phone now friend?
Jtag still not support HTC Liberty
Now I update rom.zip without system.img and phone can enter fastboot, hboot ok. But when I try to root phone, flash clockmode recovery failed.
Alwasy use fastboot adb and get error : remote not allowed
How to do more now? I don't know how to try more
It sounds like you installed the official Froyo update for the Aria. If that is the case, then you're screwed. At this time there is no way to root a phone with the official Froyo update installed.
To confirm, please go into Fastboot and tell us the version number of HBoot.
On a related thought here, where did you get that ROM from in the first place? HTC doesn't label their ROM downloads like that.

[Q] Bricked EVO 3D?

Hello everyone. The other day i used revolutionary to Perma-root my evo 3d. Everything was fine, till my text messages were not sending. So i took out the battery and popped it back in, and all i got was the HTC logo, then a dimmed black screen. Yes i can get into hboot, but i have clockworkmod recovery. I seem to be having a difficult time flashing the official sprint evo 3d rom. Any help is appreciated.
Download the pg86100.zip to revert back to stock in the dev section then go into hboot and let it update and you will start back at the stock ROM

try hboot flashing twrp recovery. then if you can boot up update your prl and profile, also make a phone call to see if you got that error 16 thing. Also, did you by chance try to replace your bootanim? If you did, and something like wrong permissions were set, it would still be booting with a black screen, maybe try leaving it alone while it's booting for a bit?
I did the twrp recovery, but i still get the dim black screen. after the dim black screen it goes black for a few seconds, then goes to the HTC logo again. I didnt try to change anything either...

Above is your best solution. From there you can decide to either root again or wait a bit longer. But that should fix the issue and keep you from a boot loop of just the HTC screen.
Well thats where you are wrong. I am still in the boot loop after doing the stock HTC EVO 3d flash.
So the bootloader scanned and flashed the PG86IMG file and you are still showing just the HTC screen?
Did you follow the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053
Hi where exactly do the adb and fastboot files go when you start to run commands?

A brick is when the phone is completely unresponsive and won't boot or give you a charging led. If you can get to hboot you're not bricked. I would do a factory wipe from hboot menu (choose clear storage), and then either run an RUU with your phone in fastboot usb mode, or use a PG86IMG.zip
of an RUU to flash back to stock. That should hopefully fix the loops.

From past experiences like this, wipe, flash the bare stock rooted ROM in the development section. Do this in recovery mode. Before wiping you could try just flashing the bare Rom over. That usually worked for me.

Sweet, glad you got it booting. Now that you've ran the RUU, you'll probably need to run Revolutionary again and then flash TWRP recovery. You should be good to go then. I think your hboot will still be S-off after the RUU, but from reports of other people it acts like it's still S-on and won't let you flash anything, so running Revolutionary again is necessary.
Well i cant use revolutionary...
My device is not supported?
And now i cant make calls or text messages, i get error 16.
any help?

Call Sprint. . they can fix it. . .it's actually a common problem after the root. Try to make a call. . .you will get the error message. . .you should hang on the line for a few minutes and it will direct you to sprint. They will call you on another line. . that's not your phone, and have you power the phone off. . .they will wait a few minutes then tell you to turn it on and make a test call. . .they may have you go thru a few things, but I didn't. . .and it will work.

Help!
I feel like such a freakin noob. My EVO3D is not quite bricked but I think i broke my recovery img AND my ROM. All I can do is turn on Hboot. Tried the stock Sprint RUU to go back to stock and i keep getting an error message everytime it tries to update the ROM image. Have no idea what to do now without being able to go into recovery. Suggestions?
My phone is doing the exact same thing, cept running the ruu.exe didn't fix it. Anyone else have some more ideas?

[Q] S-OFF from HBOOT?

Ok guys, so I attempted to unroot my phone and return to s-on because I have to take it in to Sprint, but the thing is, I'm pretty sure I bricked it. I got the stock RUU installed and turned S-ON, but now it's stuck on the htc screen. So, here's the thing, I was wondering, is there a way to get S-OFF from HBOOT or Fastboot? If so, I think I may be able to fix this thing, if not, ****.
Well if your phone is S-ON and has the stock RUU installed... Whats the problem?
Edit: I mean if you're taking it to Sprint...

If it turns on then it may be fixable. Unfortunately I do not know how. I tried to unroot mine and totally bricked it where it would not even turn on.
Motorola Atrix 4G User Sharing some love
1)Download the RUU here:
http://www.multiupload.com/2QWMDPG2M8
2)Rename the file to PG86IMG
2)Copy to the root of your sd card
3)Boot into bootloader by pulling battery and holding power+volume down until you see bootloader.
4)Bootloader will scan for PG86IMG
5)Click power button to select install for the file
6)Bootloader will now install
7)Tell your EVO 3D to reboot
Dude! I had tried that before and I don't know what is different about that, but it worked! I think your RUU may have been better than the one I got originally. Thanks!

Try downloading the PG86IMG.zip file for gsm, place it on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot. Let me know if that works.
no go. i tried it, but still stuck at bootloop. is there specific PG86IMG.zip i need to download?

Try doing S-On 'fastboot oem writesecureflag 3' and/or 'fastboot oem lock' in a terminal while in bootloader.
Then flash an RUU. It should work and boot up. If it successfully flashes all partitions and doesn't work, chances are it's the device.
i want to say thank you for all suggestions to bring my evo back to life, but unfortunately, it my 3vo refuses to cooperate. =( i am sending it to htc tomorrow. at least its s-on again for me to get it fixed for free.

Is that ROM even for the HTC EVO 4G LTE? Do you have a link for it? For the time being I suggest using the mount setting in recovery to put a ROM on your phone, do a full system wipe, then flash. I suggest MeanBean, as it has a S-on kernel installer to facilitate installation while S-on.

thanks in advance.
You need to unlock your bootloader again. There is no RUU for you to use. There is the VipeRUU tool, but it requires S-off to work. If you can get into recovery, you can get a ROM installed and flashed to get you up & running.

I am so out of luck.. I can't get out of the rebooting. sorry if really newb, but spent like 8 hours trying everything. I am not certain how to use the tool because can't get s off.
Can you do without the device for a few days? If so, shoot me a PM. I should be able to get you up & running again, and get you S-off, also.
One thing to try, though. When the phone is rebooting, hold down the volume down button. When the screen goes black it should boot into the bootloader. From there you can get into recovery. Follow the directions in my guide on how to fix the phone after a system wipe. The link is in my sig.
