k i s-off and flashed a gingerbread custom rom and updated radio onto my incredible s. I started having trouble with sms latency and decided to downgrade the radio and rom back so i can have sane text messaging.
after restoring to stock htc backup and to my original radio my phone just boots to an htc screen for 3 seconds then reboots. i can get into hboot and run fastboot commands but _CANNOT_ get into recovery, it just goes back to the reboot loop.
Can anyone suggest a course of action i can take to fix it?
Did you restore to a backup that was a stock froyo rom?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
yes from when i s'off it
When you go from froyo to gingerbread you can't go back to a froyo rom because there is no way to downgrade from a gingerbread radio to a froyo radio. So right now your phone is stuck with a gingerbread radio but a froyo rom. That's the reason it is stuck in the loop.

so i gotta flash a gb radio and gb rom from flashboot, possible?
Yeah you can flash a radio and ROM with fastboot commands. Not sure of the exact commands. Or you can put the custom gingerbread ROM on your SD card as a PG32IMG.zip file and boot into the hboot screen and it will do the update automatically.

I have a Bell Incredible S and have it rooted with CWM. I installed an update for Sense 3.0, and now it won't boot past the white HTC screen. I was foolish and did not do a nandroid backup. I am wondering if anyone has a nandroid backup for this phone of any sort of ROM. Doesn't have to be stock. Help please
That doesn't matter boot into the hboot by holding volume down and power button while turning on...
Choose recovery, put a rom on your sd card and flash it.
I'm an idiot. I was trying to flash the Droid incredible cm7 and it wasn't working. Found the right ROM and flashed it. Thanks a bunch!

I apologize if this is a repetitive post but I urgently need to know how to get back my first ROM ( unrooted, no cwm or anything ).
Details about my phone :
-Asian? lol I live in a country called Brunei, next to Malaysia.
-When I unboxed it, it was froyo and it had an update to gingerbread so I did it straight away
- gingerbread before rooting
And about unrooting it, do I just flash one ZIP file which removes superuser or something? Can someone link a guide or something? Thanks in advance!
Well, i think this is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555

No I don't know of any other mirrored site for this ROM. I can only share what has been shared via the posts on this forum.

What is the difference between the Asia_HK rom (assuming it is HongKong) and the Asia_WWE rom ?
I tried installing the Asia_HK rom and I couldn't get any OTA updates (from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7).
Also, I had to change the language from chinese to english. Basically, followed all the steps given in the tutorial, but it just didn't work .
my main aim of going back to stock was for the OTA updates. currently, am back to Virtuous Quattro RC3.

Help needed.
I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com and flashed a recovery and flashed a custom rom.
Now When I tried to restore back to Stock rom(from the backup which i took before flashing new rom), It takes me back to recovery all the time after reboot.
I manually flashed boot.img from the back up folder too.
Still it takes me to recovery all the time. I mean, After restoring, It will just reboot and take me to recovery. Even logo "HTC Quietly Brilliant" wont show up.
My phone is S-ON.
I really need to get back to stock rom.
Please help me.

Are you manually flashing the boot.img file while recovery mode, or are you rebooting into FASTBOOT USB mode and flashing it?
When you restore a backup in recovery mode, the boot partition cannot be written to. You must reboot into FASTBOOT USB using the command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
You must copy the boot.img file from you SD card to your PC to run the Fastboot command.

You should relock the bootloader first before you flash the RUU by using the computer.

hey there everyone
i have s-off,bootloader unlocked, updated to hboot 1.85.2525, root enabled, usb debugging, wcx revocery
im coming from stock rogers rom. sick of waiting for ics.
but whenever i install a custom rom i get boot loops. did i miss a part? i've tried 3 or 4 of the main custom roms. all the same, stuck at boot loop or hangs there. i've done everything right from the bootloader unlocked to s-off(wire trick) then updating hboot, flashing a recovery (wcx), installing superuser
do i have to install an att or bell gingerbread ruu then update from ota? then install a custom rom? shouldn't just installing the custom rom work?
coming from a nexus one.. so much more stuff to do just for a custom rom....
I was having the same issue with my friend's Rogers HTC Raider. (When he was running the stock Gingerbread)
Last night, we put everything back to normal (Bootloader re-locked, etc.) and installed the stock Bell ICS. ( RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_BM_3.38.666.2_Radio_3.04.4740.11_34.29.701040.22_release_255916_signed )
Then did the usual procedure of unlocking bootloader, installing clockworkmod recovery, and installing a rom. The rom we did was Desensed 1.1. It booted fine and is pretty feast. Wifi isn't working on it (I think mainly because his phone is S-ON and that causes kernel issues when flashing).
I hope this helps.
S-on or s-off does not effect WiFi working or not, they are 2 different things.
If you are s-on flash boot.IMG thru fastboot, flash Rom thru recovery. Sometimes u have to reflash boot.img

No, he was right. With S-On, when you fastboot flash, modules are not usually included. Thus, when he just flashed the zip, the kernel wasn't flashed, and the ROM's modules most likely don't match.

i tryed to flash a rom didnt really know what i was doing because when i search how to flash a rom on the g1 nothing comes up so i put the rom as a update.zip installed it and now my phone boots then reboots into recovery not sure what to do. (do i flash the 1.0 stock rom? if so where is a download link for that)
I take it you're not root and have stock recovery? If so google cyanogenmod wiki root htc dream, follow instructions

Im not able to root it i cant get to the startup screen it might have root still but i think i need stock rom
So you were rooted @ somepoint?
Can you boot into bootloader and write down everything on that screen, also what recovery did you use to try and flash a rom? Custom or stock?

when i get home ill try to see if i can boot into bootloader.i didnt flash any recovery dont know how all of the threads to flash it didnt work i tryed flashing the rom with stock recovery
Yeah you can't do that. Do what I said earlier, google search cyanogenmod wiki dream root, follow instructions

so i only want to install a gingerbread rom (maby this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997055) but i tryed the root methood you showed me and got to step two and dont know what too and it restored my phone to android 1.0 again can you help me out a little bit?
OK, if you are following that guide and completed step one then you should be at android 1.5
if not then you never finished step one. Alternatively if you are still on android 1.0 then you can do the telnet method, download it from the market
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
ok next?
so your on 1.0 and have telnet? if so then you need a recovery.img, amonra is what i prefer but use whatever. name it to recovery.img (if your on window it may hide extensions so name it recovery) and put on root of sd (not in a folder)
now open keypad, hit "enter" key twice and then type telnetd
now open telnet app and type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
dont do anything but this and you may need to do it a few times, you know it worked when you see a ## if you get an error back out and do it again
no boot to recovery, update radio and spl then flash custom rom
you may then want to update recovery and radio again (2708+) do get newest roms

how do i update the radio and spl? do i do it the same way we flash roms? and what radio and spl do i download?
my hboot is 0.95.0000 and my radio is 1.22.12.29
Untill you get an engineering spl you will flash through recovery, so go to the thread I linked you to earlier by idrifta and download the recovery.img, the 2.22.23.02 radio and danger spl after all is complete flash a compatible rom and boot to os, maybe super d or super e, or cyanogen 5, you pick just make sure its compatible.
After this all works let me know and I can hellp you update further if you want newer roms, or just read up on ezterrys thread 2708+ update

Well once yo have amonra recovery you can then upgrade radio then SPL to the ones I mentioned, doing another combo or doing the SPL before radio could result in a brick. Once this is completed and verified (boot while holding camera and check) then you can flash a ROM, and no ginger yoshi won't work until you upgrade further, for now search out one of the ROMs I mentioned and use one of them (probably need to flash appropriate gapps after ROM too)

I tried flashing the radio and it told me to reboot to complete installation so i did and Im stuck at t-mobilescreen no fasboot no recovery. Bootloop.
Hi,
i have a Velocity with HTC Sense 3.5 and Android Gingerbread (Germany/Vodafone) and HBoot 1.85 and S-ON.
I have unlocked the bootloader and use Clockwork for installing Custom ROM, but every attempt to do that is failing.
I work exactly like the ROM instructions.
I start the recovery, wipe system, data, chace, dalvic and then (only if ROM instruction request first install the kernel via (Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG)) and then /or at first install the ROM via the recovery. The installation completed successfully. Then i copy the created boot.img on my sdcard via fastboot (Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG). It works so far.
When i restart the phone the logo of the custom rom appears, then i get into a bootloop. That happens with every rom, doenst matter if ICS or JB, nothing works.
What is the problem here.
I'll mention that the adb doesnt work on my PC it always says "no device" but fastboot work.
Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG
Your only using the kernel to boot... not writing it to boot sector
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
sry, yeah i did it with "Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG"
anything else that could produce my error?
Well you need to either do the ota or use the ICS ruu to upgrade to ICS that's why nothing will boot
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
What is ota?
I dont understand why i have to upgrade via ruu. For example this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585373) there is a instruction how to do with fastboot. But doesnt work. There must be an explanation for that.
But ok, even i want do it via an ICS ruu, can i use my created recovery of gingerbread via clockwork recovery or does it stuck then, too?
Once you do the ruu to ics... your recovery backup will be useless
Sent from my Vivid 4G using Tapatalk 2
Use the old version of go backup. Not the pro. You can find it on 4shared. Then run ruu

I give you a tip i have flashed 3 HTC Velocitys in last year but the stablelst, fastest and pefect rom is the new Cyanogenmog 10 nighty from hr8rift, another developer end his work in the middle of end and then you lives with many bugs and bricked the ram for a long time.....
Vodafone is a **** provider he hasnt rollout the 4.0.3 on their phones, many Peoples are angry.
And the Quality from flash is better in HTC as Samsung Galaxy devices
Cyanogenmod 10 is in nightly and works very good its .4.1.2.
I think the final comes in few monts or weeks
