I had an issue kinda similar like this and ended up having to flash the RUU through the bootloader. It is the stock firmware 605.19, and I had to reroot. It's a pain I know but it works

I to had to this at one point and it does work. I would first try to flash cwm in fastboot though. Sometimes that works.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?

If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.

From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip

Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

I have loaded this radio then I booted into recovery and tried to install Das BAMF Sense 3.0 RC4.9 from zip and the download starts then about halfway though it goes back to the bootloader screen with the android guys skateboarding. It has fastboot highlighted with the only options being bootloader,reboot,reboot bootloader, and power down. I have tried to reboot, boot back into recovery and restore but it keeps going back to this screen...any idea's??

Well, if you can get into the bootloader you are not bricked. Go to Jcase's stock recovery thread and get the rooted stock PG5... to load in hboot. It will essentially get you back to rooted Froyo and then you can reflash the recovery and whatever rom you want.
Or I believe you can rename a ROM to PG5... and flash it in recovery as well, although I've never tried that method.

I've never heard of anyone flashing a rom through hboot by renaming it to pg05img or whatever it is. I wouldn't try that without evidence of out working

I've tried it and it works! Be careful, I would recommend using the stock rooted PC05img that was in the first post, it usually works, you just have to noodle with the 4g settings after.

Good luck. Rooted stock usually does the trick. Just be sure to name it correctly. I always screw that part up, lol.

Phone reboot cycle when flashing some Roms

This is very weird, I posted this on certain Roms threads thinking it is a rom issue.
When I flash certain roms I cannot get pass the htc white screen. I tried this with Synergy and Viper, CursedDragon. When I flash the rom only it will hang for a while in the white screen then goes black and reboot to the white screen ....over and over.
here is what works with some roms. I will have to take the battery out, hold the vol down then power to get back to recovery and flash different kernel (not the same kernel works for every rom).
I got this way to work with Viper and CursedDragon but not able to find a kernel to flash over the latest Synergy.
I have tried the file to do a complete wipe but it didn't work.
Is this normal? Any ideas. I was thinking to put back my 8G SD since I have replaced with a 16G SD or to revert my phone back and start root again from the beginning?
What do you think?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
All I know I am in a similar situation, after trying another kernel, with viper and I am stuck like chuck. so far my phone is stuck on the HTC White Screen, and it goes no further, I can only get into recovery and that is it really, my phone is no good to me as of right now. So I just got back from Jersey and I am in bumble f..k wv, and no one will help me here. Its rooted, and the bootloader is off, or the radio I should say, but I tried many chips and I wasnt able to get past the white screen, So if anyone can help please email me, [email protected] i would really appreciate it. Thanks

Try to download few kernels to your pc (silverneedle, natarchy...). Mount your sd from your phone recovery and put those files there, and apply one the time then reboot (silverNeedle worked for me)
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
If you guys are trying to flash custom kernels over 2.3.4 roms, it will fail. If you are sticking on splash or lopping it could be a wipe issue, try one of the superwipe zips. Otherwise, more info about your device/system would be needed. Good luck.
Not just custom kernels, with some roms it will not take any, not even the included one.
I am trying to flash Synergy-3DVO_RLS1_08-21-11(NIGHTLY).zip but it doesn't work in my phone. it keepa rebooting on the first htc screen.
I used both recoveries, just to make sure if it might work with one of them.
I rooted my phone with the very first root guide that came out, first temp then revolutionary and now it is on S OFF RL.
I used the super wipe files but don't seem to work.
Can you help with any suggestions?

Sometimes it's just a bad download. I had a boot loop happened once and checked out the md5 and found out it didn't match. I had to download the ROM 3x before it matched.

I'm having a similar issue with my phone. I did a Nandroid Backup (Amon RA Recovery) of my existing ROM and then I rebooted without flashing any new files. The phone boots where I can see the clock and then it reboots itself and continues to do the same thing. I flashed the Super Wipe file and then flashed the new ROM that I wanted to move to and everything is fine.
Does anybody know why this is happening? I should be able to perform a Nandroid Backup without any changes and be able to boot into my existing setup. I like flashing new ROMs every now and again and this obviously prevents me from wanting to do anything. Any help is appreciated!
try using twrp Recovery instead of Amon RA here is the link for the new version

CWM Help

Ok, so apprently I am running cwm, I thought I was running amon ra to be honest but here is my problem:
Ok, I had cleanrom on my phone, lost 4g so started messing around. When I go into CWM Recover v5.8.1.4 and try to reinstall a rom or anything I just get the little CWM icon, It will not go into any option I choose. I have to pull the battery to restart. But the screen will not turn on when I push the power. Only think I can do is boot into bootloader. VZW rep said they can replace it, but was afraid I would get charged from HTC since its prob my fault. Any suggestions?
Hmm. Boot into bootloader, plug in via usb. Flash Ruu or new recovery (probably RUU)
I think that should work.

alright I have discovered what I've done wrong....the phone still isnt working but heres how it happened.
I did flash amon ra, and clean rom. Once I got it all setup, I downloaded ROM Manager, this has killed the phone. Like I said everything I try to flash a new rom from zip on sd, the little rom manager dude blocks me. Any suggestions on how to get rid of him so I can reflash. When I plug the phone into my computer to adb device it is not found. I have download HTC Sync.
you need to be in fastboot for it to be found
Ah the old charging problems. That's right. This guide should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722989&highlight=clockwork+boot
Your phone isn't bricked, relax. For some reason none of us quite know, when any rezound with clockworkmod on it reaches fully low low battery and turns off it no longer charges correctly.

[Q] [Help] TWRP / ROMs

Hello,
I am fairly noobish when it comes to phones but I have had a rooted OG EVO and now i have had a rooted EVO LTE. When i first rooted my LTE i flashed the meanbean rom and then a few months after that i decided to try out other roms suchs as CM10, Paranoid, and maybe a few others that didn't last too long. I just tried to go back to meanbean and it loaded about 75% and was just stuck. I let it sit there for about 45 minutes and nothing ever happened. I forced a restart and restored to a previous backup. When my phone booted up I noticed that it was acting funny and I later found out that some how my internal storage device was messed up. I eventually mounted my phone to my computer in TWRP and reformated so it now works as it should. I went to try and flash meanbean and it again freezes at the same spot. When i try to flash another ROM my phone beings to flash it and then it will randomly restart back into recovery. I have no idea why it is doing this. I tried to run my phone's RUU but my computer wont find my phone connected to it. When i try to use HTC Sync it also will not find my phone.
Sorry for the wall of text but at this point I am wanting to just start over completely fresh bc i feel that all of this flashing, restoring, and reformatting has really messed up my phone. Currently my phone has issues with it's calls. I sound as though i am very far away and I have never had this problem before so i am not sure where that issue is coming from.
If anyone has any kind of advice on what I should do please please help me! I can post any kind of information or clarification that is needed.
Thanks a ton in advanced!

[Q] HTC EVO V 4G Stuck in Bootloader bootloop

Hello, so recently I tried to get S-OFF on my Evo through JuopunutBear. Something went wrong and I (mistakenly ) unlplugged the USB cable. Now my phone only boots up onto Bootloader. I can't access the recovery nor can I access adb. The only thing that works is fastboot. Can someone please help me? I have no idea what to do and after hours of searching, nothing like this has ever happened before I assume. I'm sort of a noob. I have adb installed and can use it but I don't know what commands to enter or what files to download or what. Is there any way I can reset my phone or get out of this bootloop? Thank You guys!

OK. So I looked into the guide, One of the attachments had a broken link so I couldn't do it. I tried flashing a stock RUU but it gave me an error. I tried getting the rom.zip from the temp and flashing that. My bootloader gave me an error and said something about the version being older than the firmware or something like that. I have finally gotten to my recovery, but that did not help. I've cleared EVERYTHING. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop where when the phone boots up it goes straight into JBear phone image with the arrow. I've tried everything. I still have no idea how to fix it. I really need some help.

Thanx for the help guys! Well, I fixed the bootloop and screen by flashing the boot.img. That got me stuck in an HTC logo bootloop, but I WAS SO HAPPY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER SEEN A BOOTLOOP THAN THIS. Well, since I knew how to fix this, I just flashed a stock ROM, and from there installed TWRP recovery and from there flashed a custom ROM (rooted, deodexed, stock, since I still don't have S-OFF). Now I'm just restoring my apps from Carbon( Helium) and getting some new themes. Thanks Guys!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Just a heads up. The Evo V 4G seems to operate better when 4EXT recovery is used!
