You need to flash the boot.img of the rom that you're restoring first before restoring. Also, what were you trying to do that cause the phone getting stuck at the white screen?

How do i flash the boot.img? I was returning to the stock rooted rom on my phonethrough a restore and my phone just got stuck at the white screen. SO, i just freaked out and relocked my bootloader, then tried to have it flash the original PH39IMG zip and now my phone wont load that zip. It says its doing it then goes back to the main menu in HBOOT.

fastboot flash boot.img
But before that your first sentence proves that you've haven't done enough reading before you attempted this. Reunlock the bootloader...read this guide how to do it (read it several times before you attempt). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
If you have any questions after reading several times, please ask them in that thread.

Thank you. I tried doing all of that and my phone is still stuck a the HTC White screen. I did everything up to the flashing the VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2 zip and it is still stuck at the white HTC BOOT screen.

By any chance is your bootloader unlocked?

1. Make sure to have the zip of CWM on the root of your sdcard
2. Have the phone off
3. Power into HBOOT (power + vol down)
4. Select recovery
5. Flash the zip of CWM

Hey. I tried doing that and my phone is still stuck at the HTC white bootup screen.

Yeah your phone should do that because you didn't flash the boot.img when restoring the stock rom. Get a rom that you want to use and follow the instructions on how to flash the boot and then flashing the rom thru CWM

what do you mean boot.img? I have a rom that i want to use HoliRaider v 1.6. Should i just flash that rom through CWM?

read step three of the superuser guide

Thank you so much!! I have a question about that. How do I "Extract the boot.img out of the kernel file you want and put it in the same directory as your fastboot.exe/fastboot executable"? How do I put it in the same directory as my fastboot.exe/fastboot executable?

HoliRaider has a separate kernel file to d/l

[Q] Phone stuck on boot loop

Hello all, I would like to ask, if the phone is stuck on bootloop on the lg logo, should i just flash another rom through cwm. I was using cm7 before and then i thought of using some modded stock rom. So when i flashed it bootlooped for several minutes. Now my phone is working after flashing the latest kang. Is that the correct thing to do? thx

If you flash a Stock ROM coming from a CM7 ROM it is recomended to do a wipe before flashing, and vice versa, or else it will get stuck on boot loop.

I have to add: that happens due to the different file system. Cm7 uses ext3 I believe and stock roms something else.

pull it from the rom zip(boot)and put it in your fastboot directory.

i have not had to install a rom since i got my htc evo 4g lte last year. this is a new step to me. im assuming this is done before installing the rom?

boy, i don't know at this point, you may have borked the radio, i would try to ruu, get back to stock and start all over.keep in mind if you run an RUU you have to relock the bootloader to do so. then you can unlock again and go from there.install recovery etc/

Also, I suggest using the revone s-off method from the revolutionary team. It allows you to flash ROMs more easily without flashing the boot.img separately. The link to the thread on how is in my web signature.

i have tried all of this with both recoveries. I just tried cleanrom and it boots into safemode only with no signal. this is so frustrating...

What rom are you trying to install? The losing signal after reboot I've experienced but that's from trying to install intl

When I flash a ROM I don't get to the boot animation I'm stuck on the HTC splash screen. Also when I flash the ROM and do a backup with 4ext usually the backup file name is date.ROM name but 4ext can't recognize the ROM name it says unknown. Is it not flashing properly?

Do you have the latest version of 4Ext recovery? Have you tried flashing the boot.img manually in FASTBOOT USB mode?

I dont think SVHD2 has any boot animation, it just shows HTC boot like screen (with beats audio). glad it fixed itself
