[SOLVED] Phone won't boot up - HTC Droid DNA

Alright, so I flashed a new rom, but for some reason it wouldn't boot up, it wouldn't get past the white htc screen. So when I went into recovery to flash a different rom somehow my sdcard was formatted, so I have nothing on my sdcard to flash and my phone won't boot up so I can't access USB storage. Also because it was a new rom, I wasn't able to enable usb debugging so adb isn't working. I can still use fastboot and I can still access CWM but I can't find a way to push a file onto my phone. I tried sideloading but adb isn't working, and I went into mounts and storage and tried "mount usb storage" and it doesn't mount. I tried reinstalling the HTC drivers to get adb working but no luck there. Please not sure what else to try from here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

two methods that will quickly fix issue you are having
method one
seeing as you say sdcard hopefully that means otg cable and sdcard reader or usb storage device. if this is the case proceed to put rom of choice on usb or sdcard and flash via that way and hope your s-off or you will need to flash kernel boot.img in fastboot and modules in recovery..
method 2.
go into fastboot <<< already there
enter fastboot oem relock <<<< locks your bootloader again
run RUU <<< puts you back at 1.15 og firmware
then update to latest firmware <<< will be 2.07 i believe
moonshine your device and enjoy the benefits of custom roms <<< happy ever after

Thank you so much for the information!
I managed to solve the issue by flashing TWRP via fastboot, once I flashed TWRP, the drivers installed automatically and adb was able to see my device, afterwards I was able to push a ROM to my sdcard via adb, flashed it in recovery and bam phones working again.

that works too good deal and happy flashing... btw for me TWRP i always had better lucky with also CWM is notorious for formating all of your data and being as the DNA has no true sdcard its a deal breaker for me in my experiences so enjoy

Please Help - My phone will not boot after using boot manager.

EXT4 recovery
Unlocked Hboot 1.5 s-on
I was running ZR3Dv2.4b smoothly and tried to use boot manager to boot MIUI. MIUI ran fine, but I could not boot back. I tried to flash a new rom and it would still only boot MIUI. It said data, system, and boot are all unmounted? But said image flashed succesfully. I can remount system and data, but no option for boot. Now I cant even boot back to even MIUI. All I get is the HTC screen.
I also tried to download the first posted link for a 2.17 ruu from this thread; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24268786&postcount=209
Bootloader finished checking it and quickly says wrong zip and brings me back to main bootloader screen.
Please help me us my phone again!
Did you try fastbooting into your recovery. 4ext leaves a copy of the boot.img on your sd card. If you have a sd card reader you should try to extract it, place it on your pc and fastboot into it.
Coming from sense to aosp and back and forth can cause all kinds of headaches.
I tried to get fastboot usb to pop up when i plug the cord in, but it does not. i have htc sync installed so i should have the drivers. i also have not done anything with phones using my pc, always just from the phone. is there a thread that could help me with this? i searched, i always search, first time i couldnt find an answer!

Have you tried a nandroid restore? I believe I've ram across the problem before and my fix was mounting USB I'm recovery and deleting the boot manager folder, hope one of these options helps
****'ll Buff Out
I cant seem to connect my phone to my pc with fastboot usb or with usb storage in ext4 touch recovery. What software and device drivers do i need?
install htc sync and uninstall it I believe...
tried that, still says "windows does not recognize usb device"
I've had this happen on my 4g before. Your boot.IMG is borked. A nandroid restore will fix it.
Next time, click the create phone Rom button several times to ensure it took.

nandroid restore? just a restore from recovery?

have you installed boot manager in MIUI from play store? You should boot phone ROM from it.
If you get stuck , all you need to do is flash update.zip located in bootmanger/phonerom folder from recovery, if you are s-on you can't flash the update.zip without booting recovery from fastboot or without using 4ext recovery.....
Next time do a little search outside xda too. The boot manager's site has a guide and faqs and solutions too.
if you had setup the zr3d rom with bootmanager, flash the same rom again and flash the update.zip.....see if that works
i cannot boot back into any rom. I tried everything in recovery. no matter what my device hangs on the htc screen.
Why not just reformat your sd after backing it up. Then reflash your recovery. Then do a full wipe and flash a rom.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I can get into recovery, I can flash images and use it just fine, why would i reflash it? also i flashed it from android so i wouldnt know where to begin to do so.
I have been searching for instructions (with download) on how to relock my bootloader via fastboot connected to a pc. But unable to find what I am looking for. If I can just relock the bootloader sprint will give me a new one.
So now my new problem is please direct me to the files, instructions and commands to relock my bootloader, and of course all the other good stuff.
Thank you all very much for your time spent helping me sort out this issue.
EDIT: I can get my phone to connect via the bootloader in "fastboot usb" mode, Its the PC end where I am lost.
what version of the phone do you have? gsm? cdma? what software version do you have and what hboot and recovery?
Cdma
Unlocked Hboot 1.5 S-on
2.17xxxxxx
Ext4 Touch Recovery
I just tried to flash a 2.17 exe from the pc via fastboot and it failed.

here... take this file im sending you and download it and save it in the same folder as your fastboot and adb files and once its saved there start your phone into the bootloader... the part where you get it to say fasyboot usb... then go to your computer and PM me from three ill give you further instructions to fix it and then relock it if you choose to
You don't flash an exe you run it from your pc while your phone is plugged in and on charge mode only. Also make sure usb debugging is checked. Also the reason why I suggest to flash a new recovery or reflash your current recovery is that sometimes recoveries can become corrupt. Just because you can flash doesn't mean your recovery is functioning the way it should. So rather than try to figure out if your recovery is corrupt it takes like 5min to reflash it. That way you rule out your recovery as being the culprit.

Well I am sitting here in fastboot usb via the bootloader with no knowledge of how to flash, unlock/lock, or what to do now for anything via fastboot usb.
EDIT: To rule out that its not my recovery, how do I flash ext4 or cwm from recovery or fastboot?

I got it now.
Finally found the sdk.

Thanks! I am assuming this works. ha :laugh:
This seems like an appropriate place to ask, with HTCDev unlock, how "unlocked" is the device currently? Like in terms of recoveries, kernels, radios, etc.? I ask here cuz I'm most curious about the functionality of CWM Recovery and how much time I'm gonna have to play around in it.
I saw koush state that its basically the status and simplicity of a Nexus device , just curious

Well to unlock the phone. Basically just gives you access to boot, system, and recovery partitions. But to flash roms, you must flash the boot.img in fastboot after flashing the rom .zip in recovery. You would need s-off on a HTC phone to flash radios, splash screens...etc...
This works just fine. I did this early today using the post from the international version as all the GSM versions seem to be the same at least as far as the recovery is concerned. I rooted and I use Koush's SuperUser
This worked great for me as well, first attempt to get into recovery failed but the next one worked just fine. Now lets see if I cant' hunt down some of those wake locks. :victory:

"No OS installed" Terribly stuck!

So I bought a HTC One off craigslist and factory reset it using TWRP. Now I am stuck on the boot screen with nothing but access to recovery and bootloader. I have no backups or ROM to flash from and i can't seem to mount the internal storage. I tried everything! I am currently attempting to push a custom or stock ROM to it using ADB and TWRP's sideload mode but it is not detecting my device. I have the latest HTC sync application and drivers. I need suggestions and help
If I were you I'd start over with an ruu. There's one available for at&t in the dev section. Boot to bootloader and plug in the phone to the computer. If you see fastboot USB in red, you're all set
Here's the RUU http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/get....13_10.33.1150.01_release_318450_signed_2.exe

Additionally, if you can boot into bootloader, download the TWRP img via goo.im and download a ROM you want and use adb sideload to install it.

I use a usb OTG in TWRP almost everyday
and if sideload is failing it's likely because you don't have the drivers installed properly
and so you know the unlock is what wiped the phone not TWRP (unless you choose advanced and selected to wipe the sdcard which no one does)
get you drivers working
to test from recovery on the phone and command on the PC do adb devices and make sure you device is listed.
then in twrp you choose advanced/adb sideload
Connect phone to PC
Open command line where you have the file of ROM assuming you have ADB in Path of system, if you have not just copy the ROM to same place you have ADB files.
Type:
adb devices
(verify you phone are detect)
adb sideload name_of_the_rom_file.zip
(Wait the file is transfered to phone and recovery flash)

[Q] HTC One x Plus No recovery No ruu help please

I am trying to install any ROM, recovery but no luck for 2 weeks!!!
It was unlocked via HTC unlock_code.bin. Now I can relock or unlock again with no issue.
However I could not install any CRW . So I have to install stock RUU, CID is VODAP102 German Vodaphone. main versiyon: 2.17.161.3 , hboot: 1.72.0000
I relocked via fastboot and tried to install stock RUU however it was lower than 2.17.161.3 and gave signature error. I could not find higher RUU.
Is this a garbage now ?
-----
SOLVED: I pressed the left top part while recovering and it booted up recovery. Very interesting

If you already successfully unlocked the phone thats a good news. and please keep your unlock_code.bin for future use. Anyways if u can follow all the instruction given in this forum it's not that hard to solve your problem. there are multiple solution for the problem you are facing.
So, well i hope u can still go to the fastboot mode right? if u can then u can use the adb push functions to install a recovery in your HOX+. follow the procedure below to install a recovery:
Unlock the phone again like you did before.
install a recovery:
please download the files u going to need to install the recovery:
a) https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/enrc2b/philz_touch_6.19.3-enrc2b.zip/
b)http://d-h.st/rNC all credit goes to m0narx (team venom).
c)before you can do anything u must need to have adb drivers installed on your pc and HTC usb driver to get your phone when you are in fastboot mode. since u already unlock the phone i hope you have those.
i hope you downloaded the abode files needed
1. You need adb drivers installed on your pc and HTC drivers. once this process is done go to fastboot and connect your usb to the phone. your phone will show fastboot USB.
2. In the kernel flasher you will see a rar file containing many files. just unrar the file and go to the folder, you will see a file called VenomKernelFlasher.exe. open it as administrator . then go to manual tab...then only click on flash recovery image and uncheck other options... then click browse and find your philz recovery that you downloaded early(you have to unzip if its a rar/zip). then you just have to press start flash. keep in mind your phone must be connected in fastboot mode and showing fastboot USB before you press start flash or it will do nothing. there are sometimes the first try wont work. venom flasher may show you an error. but don't worry. press start fash again and you might see successful and you have a recovery in your phone.
now you can go to the recovery mode by pressing power+volume down key and then recovery.
If you successfully done the above process now you just need to install a custom rom in your device from philz recovery and have fun with your phone
I think your phone completely blank and you dont have any rom copied in your phone's memory. now only way to install a rom is go to philz recovery.
I am giving you all the easy proess so that u dont need to know any adb command.
DOWNLOAD this another useful software, WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727916
a)go to philz recovery...then go to install zip....then go to install zip from sideload.
b)on the pc now you go to the toolkit then go to adb commands then press sideload ROM and a box will appear. then you just have to browse your custom rom of your own choice. and wait till it finished. there will be no progress bar. but in the toolkit when the process is done it will show you a message. also in the phone. wait for it to complete.
suggested rom:
Download Android Revolution HD 8.0 from here: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html
go to htc one x+ section adn download both rom and boot.img.
AFTER YOU COMPLETED THE ABOVE PROCESS YOUR PHONE HAVE A CUSTOM ROM INSTALLED IN YOUR DEVICE. IF YOUR PHONE IS S-ON THEN FOLLOW THE LAST STEP TO SUCCESSFULLY BOOT YOUR PHONE:
now you going to need the boot.img that you downloaded....you have to push the boot.img with adb shell to boot your android phone.
if you know how to do it then fine. if not pm me i will help you out with this also.
