[Q] cant relock bootloader!!! vivid is a shiny paper weight!

Ok, so i upgraded htc vivid to new ics through official ruu.exe whatever file that is. From there i unlocked bootloader flashed boot image and Paranoid 4.1.2 rom. Phone was great until today when i started to move music files from pc to phone. would shut down and restart by itself......every five minutes or so. Now, if i turn the phone on at all it is constantly in this boot, run fortyfive seconds, reboot again, dreadful cycle. So now i am trying to get back to stock if i can. i first tried to flash a new rom, cm10 nightly to be exact. NO LUCK! still boots into paranoid and dreadful reboot cycle continues. Now, i am looking to go back to stock but when i run "fastboot oem lock" fails and phone remains "unlocked" in fastboot ui. What in the world do i do? I read very thoroughly, have even had to learn to push my zip and img files through adb because my sdcard or internal_sdcard wil not mount in recovery. Recovery is not CWM or TWRP but i can not remember which it is
"RA REVAMPED
Build : Made for WCX ILLUMINATE SERIES by GINM"
blue lettering.....
any help would be greatly appreciated.
:crying::crying::crying::crying:

Note.......Vivid runs allot longer when transferring files from PC. Has been running now approximately 4 minutes no problems. Files still moving though....i will wait and see what happens after file transfer completes.
Yep!!! Just shut down again...but definately runs longer when transfering files...very confusing to me....

You must have the WCX recovery. What RUU did you flash exactly? If you could give me a link to it that would be great

my phone is running paranoid android though from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029534
it is having a problem wioth the sd card i beleive. When i attempt to go to gallery is shuts down. when i go to music it shuts down. when i try to uninstall juicedefender it shuts down. Excited to get a response and look forward to getting some help thank you!

Also let me add.... i have tried a full wipe sdcard and internal_sdcard included but each time i try all contacts photos screen widgets and my user specified settings remain intact on phone. i would imagine that after this full wipe i would have a fresh clean phone. NOT THE CASE! Very weird

Might try flashing a diff recovery (TWRP) and wipe install, see if that works. Then you can go back to the WCX and test that again.

ok tried cwm recovery from fastboot to no avail still stuck on previous recovery. phone wont stay on long enough for goo.im to download or run twrp recovery. i really have no clue what the issue is. I also downloaded tapatalk was able to use it for about 2 inutes then phone shut off rebooted itself and tapatalk is no longer installed. i am stumped! No help either...........:silly:

Maybe you have a crap battery...
Maybe your sim card isn't making good contact...
Maybe your external SD card is borked...
First... try removing your external SD and boot...
Second try removing your sim card and see if it boots...
Finally... try another battery and see if that fixes it to the point it stays on...

[Q] HTC One won't turn on. Can't go into recovery or fastboot. Bricked?

I tried searching the threads but couldn't find one with a problem like exactly mine. Sorry if I was a lousy searcher, but here goes:
1 I had TWRP and TrickDroid 5.5.1 installed. Working fine.
2 Downloaded TrickDroid 6.0.1, went into recovery, wiped everything/factory reset etc. and installed the new ROM, rebooted
3 Working fine but there is no root
4 Tried wiping everything again and reflashing the same ROM. Rebooted. Same thing: ROM is working but there's no root
5 Read somewhere that flashing a different kernel might work, so I flashed Bulletproof 1.10 through TWRP. At the end of the installation of the kernel, right before reboot, TWRP said that my root seemed to be broken and asked me if I wanted to fix it. I said yes. As soon as I said yes (by swiping), phone shut off. Now it won't even start so I can't get into recovery. Pressing Volume-down+Power won't get me into fastboot either.
—The only sign of life is this: when I long press the power button, the home and back buttons will blink as long as I continue pressing it. When I release, nothing happens.
—When I plug the phone to PC, it sees it as a "HTC MTP device" and looks for the drivers but fails to find them.
I had never any trouble with flashing ROMs before so I got lazy with time, I don't have any nandroid backup, though since I can't get even into fastboot I guess that's the least of my problems?
Please help; did I really just brick my phone?

Just happened to me too man, I'm not sure what to do! Sorry to hijack your thread, just looking for answers too.

Dude, just hold the volume down button and then press the power button...the back and home button will keep flashing and then it will stop...should take you into fastboot..navigate to recovery and try to load a rom up using the SD card mount method...hope it works out for you man!

No need to apologize, that's why we're here. Please report back if you can find a solution.
Google told me that HTC's RUU tool could possibly help unbrick it, so I've downloaded the European variant ("RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4"). I fiddled a bit in the Device Manager in my PC and somehow got it to recognize the phone as "My HTC" under "Android ...", then ran the program. HTC logo appeared on the phone's screen so I got excited but after 10 minutes of waiting RUU told me it was the wrong variant and exited. Back to nil. I'm now downloading another variant of the RUU. We'll see if it helps. (I can't for the life of me figure out how to make my PC recognize the phone again though; I'm back to "MTP device, failed to install drivers" phase. Frustrating.)

That doesn't work for me unfortunately, the capacitive buttons just keep on flashing. I can get my PC to recognize it as "HTC Android Interface" but the second RUU failed, too. Glad yours got fixed, though.

if you can get still have adb access use Hasoon's AIO Toolkit to reboot to bootloader/recovery and go from there. otherwise hold power and volume down button with the screen facing a very bright light.

hi there.. im having the same problems. i cant access recovery and my computer wont let me access the files on my phone neither. when i boot on the phone it goes right into the bootloader and won't go anywhere else. please help! many many thanks

Bricked after attempted TrickDroid update
I’m having the same problem.
Attempted to update Trickdroid 6.0.1 to 7.0 last night.
My phone now constantly hangs on the boot screen.
I can get to the fastboot and bootloader menus via long press volume down and power but anything from here simply reboots the phone back to the boot screen.
I’ve tried connecting the phone to the PC and using Fastboot and the One all in one kit but the device is never recognised.
Basically I’ve bricked my phone and need help!!

go to fastboot, use HTC all in one kit by hasoon to flash TWRP, go in twrp, Wipe everything including data, system, cache, dalvik cache, again go on HTC kit and put command of adb sideload, go on TWRP advanced menu and sideload roam. once sideload gets transferred, it will start installing and try different rom like ARHD 10.1

I can't belive it, but the bright light thing actually worked for me!
Thanks!

I was in the same situation with an HTC logo and flashing back and home keys. When I tried volume down + power under a bright light, it came back to life in bootloader. Not sure what the bright light has to do with it but glad it worked.

Bright light solution is from twrp sleep bug.. I read it before.. Good luck

The bright light trick is not a bug, and it has nothing to do with TWRP. It happens because HTC built in a "pocket protection" so that the phone will not reboot on its own in your pocket. The proximity sensor needs light shining on it for a hard reboot to work. (Sometime they're not sensitive enough and it takes a brighter light than you would expect)

[Q] Another boot loop, but this one is different! SOLVED

C6603 Stuck in bootloop! [Last update: 24/1/14]​
UPDATE 24/01/14
This issue has been SOLVED.
I replaced the battery with one from eBay and the phone is working flawlessly, all the ROM flashing I went through was not the problem at all. Remember that if you are going to try to replace the battery you may as well buy a new rear glass piece as it is almost guaranteed that the glass will break in the removal process. You will also require new a adhesive piece. The entire procedure cost me $51AUD (battery, glass, adhesive).
All the content below is irrelevant, if your phone randomly shuts off (instantaneously) on boot or soon after, try to replace your battery!
Thanks for your help.
I've got quite a story to tell and if you have the patience to read it, I will greatly appreciate your assistance. TL;DR BELOW
In the beginning I was running 4.2.2, on a stock Australian 10.3.A.0.423 Unbranded ftf. It had been working flawlessly for a month or so until quite recently. It had developed a problem where it would only remain switched on whilst being plugged into the wall socket. As soon as (or thereafter) I removed the plug out of the phone, with one touch, one action, BAM! The display was off and I had to restart the phone again. I spent a few hours browsing for solutions to this problem, most of them said to hold the power and vol+ buttons until the handset vibrated 3 times. That turned it off alright, but I'm looking to go in the other direction.
After a stressful while scrounging old forum posts, I came to the conclusion that the fault is in my ROM, after all, I had flashed from 4.1.2 (I think) to 4.2.2 just a month prior (I flashed a ROM instead of waiting until the snail-like carriers here in Australia decided to dribble out the release). So now being convinced that I ROM is at fault I browse XDA for a newer stock one. Hey! Look! 4.3 it being rolled out in Aust, I check whether it's available to me yet, and obviously, no, it is not. I stumble upon this thread in my travels. I spend a while working to meet it's requirements. Get flashtool, get unlocked bootloader, get root, install cwm, and attempt to install XzDualRecovery 2.6. I've placed the XDR.zip on the sdcard in the XZ, I run the zip using CWM, it seems successful, I then go to reboot and check whether my 4.3 works, after I select reboot I'm asked whether I wish to root the phone. Why yes! that seems easy enough, and just as I select 'ok' the screen goes blank. The bloody phone has switched off in the middle of my work! I try to boot and it hangs on the Sony logo then reboots, creating a cycle. I decide to plug it back in to the wall socket (as this is the only way to get it to boot and remain on), huzzah, it runs. But the root had failed. The rest of my rant is insignificant until now (around 7 hours of failed attempts later)
So in an attempt to keep this wall of text down, I try my best to summarize, If I am not clear enough, just say.
I tried reflashing my old 4.2.2 ROM back, this makes the whole thing worse, now the phone won't even get past the Sony logo (even when plugged to a socket), I flash a different 4.3 ftf, nothing, I restore with PCC, I restore with SUS, I create a ftf from the SUS files and attempt to flash that. Nothing, nothing works. So where am I at now?
The phone still has battery, although, I'm not sure how much, I can no longer get it to charge as it hangs on the Sony logo. The phone should be flashed with 10.3.A.0.423, but when I check the baseband version in Fastboot cmd prompt, it still says 10.4.B.0.569, I feel as though flashtool isn't flashing properly, but I've read that this is usually a non-issue. I can boot into flashmode and fastboot mode. I can unlock and lock the bootloader. I can use ADB and Fastboot CMD (Minimal version) to read values and run commands. Actually, I managed to use the phone in fastboot mode, in conjunction with ADB and Fastboot CMD, I ran the command "fastboot continue" and the phone went on to charge off the usb power, It didn't seem to charge very fast, or at all, and I haven't been able to get it to do it again. So a TL;DR:
-C6603 stuck in bootloop.
-Possibly has a 4.2.2 ROM installed (10.3.A.0.423 Unbranded AU)
-Cannot Charge
-Can run flashmode and fastboot mode
-Can use ADB and Fastboot
-Can use SUS, PCC, and Flashtool to flash stock roms
-Can't figure this out for the life of me!
UPDATE 01/01/14
Currently I have a kernel installed that allows me to use cwm twrp (doomkernel v19, maybe), I have flashed a 'flashable' stock 4.3 rom using cwm and the phone didn't manage to get past the kernel logo. HOWEVER, using fastboot mode, I run the command "fastboot continue", and if I allow the phone to go past the kernel logo it vibrates, the LED turns green as opposed to showing a purple one, and it will begin charging (The LED isn't green as a result of the battery level). EDIT [1/1/14 3:01AM]: I tried to launch the phone whilst it was charging, the charging symbol went away and the phone remained on a black screen (lcd is on, but nothing is displayed) for a few seconds before shutting off automatically.
I must mention, I cannot get into recovery unless I boot the phone into fastboot mode, run the command in fastboot: "fastboot continue". If I don't do this, it simply crashes (shuts off) when showing the kernel logo.
If you need to know more I will provide as much information as I can, as succinct as I can, as fast as I can. I am in this for the long run. Thank you for your time,
UPDATE 08/01/14
I've come to the conclusion that my issue is battery related. After repeated from flashes and fastboot attempts, I managed to get the phone charging a few times, I witnessed the level was sporadic upon infrequent viewings. I have come across a few other very similar threads and feel that it is necessary to try replacing the battery, I try and post a youtube clip that details what happens currently.

download any FTF , 4.2.2 or 4.3 , connect your device to flash tool as flashmode , and select to flash the ftf , when you are selecting the ftf in the flash tool , at the right side check all at the wipe section , and uncheck all at the exclude section
but your internal storage might get also wiped , but i assume it already happened when you unlocked your boot loader

Thanks so much for the reply. The thread has something I can try, if this new rom fails (I expect it will). What is custom recovery? I cannot access the storage, only fastboot and flashmode. no cwm and xdr was never completed.
ROM just failed, trying SUS now.

oh dear, custom recovery is cwm (clockworkmod recovery) or twrp (team win recovery project), it means, it allows you to do something important just before it boot into system, which is bootstall or bootloop as you call it. you cannot boot into system, then try to boot into recovery ( which is before it boot the system), that might help.
both recoveries will allow you to mount storage to copy things to sd cards from pc.
you can try unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel with recoveries, maybe you "could" boot into one of those recoveries.

I also got the same problem, but mine is a C6602. I was trying to setup a mail exchange, then it asked for some permission. I push enter, then after an hour, it start the bootloop.
The phone boot till the main screen, i could swipe and play around for 10 second, then it reboot.
I have tried everything from hard reset, to FlashTool to SUS, relock, unlock, flash stock, from old stock to new stock, it just won't work :|

I'm well aware what cwm is, I just assumed that because you said 'custom' that it might possibly be different, as recovery is always custom anyway, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I am able to flash a 'boot.img' that enables me to use cwm and twrp, HOWEVER, the only way I can access it (as in cause the phone to remain on long enough for it to parse the boot.img) is to connect the phone to my computer in fastboot mode, then using the Fastboot command: "fastboot continue", it will run the 'img' and allow me to enter twrp or cwm. It still won't begin charging or even show the Xperia logo if I allow it to continue without accessing the recovery options.
Thanks for your help.

I'm well aware what cwm is, I just assumed that because you said 'custom' that it might possibly be different, as recovery is always custom anyway, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I am able to flash a 'boot.img' that enables me to use cwm and twrp, HOWEVER, the only way I can access it (as in cause the phone to remain on long enough for it to parse the boot.img) is to connect the phone to my computer in fastboot mode, then using the Fastboot command: "fastboot continue", it will run the 'img' and allow me to enter twrp or cwm. It still won't begin charging or even show the Xperia logo if I allow it to continue without accessing the recovery options.
Thanks for your help.

if you can mount the storage, you could copy the flashable stock rom (4.3) and copy it into your sd card, and maybe you can flash through there by following instructions from that thread.

I also got the same problem, but mine is a C6602. I was trying to setup a mail exchange, then it asked for some permission. I push enter, then after an hour, it start the bootloop.
The phone boot till the main screen, i could swipe and play around for 10 second, then it reboot.
I have tried everything from hard reset, to FlashTool to SUS, relock, unlock, flash stock, from old stock to new stock, it just won't work :|

I tried to mount the storage, my pc wouldn't detect the phones storage, I managed to push the stock rom zip to the sd card using ADB. I still had cwm recovery and could flash the zip using it. Still, however, the phone shuts down before it gets past the kernel logo. Again, I used the phone in Fastboot mode and forced it to continue using "fastboot continue", I left it go past the kernel logo and it is charging at the moment. I may try to start the phone now, yet expect it to crash again.
EDIT: I tried to launch the phone whilst it was charging, the charging symbol went away and the phone remained on a black screen (lcd is on, but nothing is displayed) for a few seconds before shutting off automatically.
EDIT: Happy New Year!
Thank you.

Yes that is correct, it's current issue (turning off sponanteously) occurred when I was running stock 4.2.2 (no root, no bootloader unlock).

lol, you should unlock the bootloader before you flash a custom boot.img. the primary solution now is to flash any rom to see if it boots up normally , then you can still find a way to revert back to stock.

I never said that I flashed a custom boot.img whilst on a locked bootloader. The reason I tried all the things that I have is because the phone was spontaneously shutting down (on stock, unedited). Perhaps once I made the mistake of flashing a boot.img before unlocking, but I have since unlocked and flashed many roms and kernels. Thanks for your reply.

That is correct, it doesn't hang but suddenly turns off, the only way I can use recovery tools in the kernel is if I plug the phone into my pc in Fastboot mode, then issue the command "fastboot continue" from cmd.

i think there is something wrong with your motherboard or the battery connection, i'm not sure, because my pc got that problem before, it just boot up to starting windows... and then reboot, in the end i found out the capacitor got swelled in the power supply.

That is certainly possible, I have had to replace the back glass and during that operation it is possible that the battery got too hot and is now lower in voltage or something. Thanks for the suggestion, I would appreciate a second opinion with this...

if you still have your warranty, you can go to the center and request for a replacement, the best solution now is to revert to as stock as possible, if can get the bootloader locked again then it's good,

I imagine it is still under warranty, however I have read that unlocking the bootloader permanently voids warranty. And I have replaced the back of my white phone with a black glass, perhaps if I get a new white rear glass it will be ok, but then I might as well just replace the battery $40AUD isn't too expensive IMO.

[Q] HTC Desire 500 Dual Sim Unable to boot after CWM

Hi,
My device is HTC Desire 500 (5060) Dual sim purchased 7 days back.
Android Version - 4.2.1
Yesterday I successfully unlock bootloader.
After unlocking boot loader I copied and pasted CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip downloaded from 'http://theunlockr.com/2013/12/20/root-htc-desire-500-dual-sim-version/'
However I was not able to enter recovery and apply the above downloaded zip, as soon as i select the recovery, the phone was getting rebooted. Hence I tried "fastboot erase cache" ("http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723670")
However this also did not help, so I had flashed 'CWMRecovery_D500_Philz.img' via adb (http://theunlockr.com/2013/12/20/install-custom-recovery-htc-desire-500-dual-sim-version/)
After flashing above, I entered the recovery mode and installed CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip via install from sd card mode in recovery.
Post this, the phone was booted up and i was able to see SuperSU, checked with rootchecker and phone status was Rooted!
While opening SU, it was asking for updating binary and while clicking on 'Update', it was saying update failed and phone got rebooted.
This happened for 3 times, hence I decided not to update SU binary and I update the supersu directly from google play.
However even after updating the latest version of Supersu, it was still asking to update binary which I ignored as the phone was getting rebooted.
Main purpose of rooting the phone was to install Link2sd to move certain apps to sd card and removing unnecessary apps. I had uninstalled google play movies, play books and play music.
After that I restarted the phone. Post restarting I was not able to move any app to sd and it was asking that no root permission, while in supersu there was permission granted for link to sd.
I checked the root status and now it was showing your device is not rooted!!
Again I tried to update supersu and it was giving me message that update via CWM for HTD device, hence i clicked on ok and power down the phone. After powering down the phone I tried to enter recovery via volume - and power button same as i did previously, however it did not work.
Tried to power on the phone, it did not work. inserted wall charger and the orange light was blinking but phone did not come to life. removed battery for half n hour along with sd card and sim card but no luck. Charged the phone over night, but still the orange led is flashing (no vibrates). Today handed over the phone to my wife and she visited the service center, the guy said come after half n hour I will check, after half n hour he said that you have rooted your phone and it is not under warranty, you have to get the main board replaced which would cost me around 5500 INR ($84).
Now my wife said that when she had a look the phone was powered on and she said that the guy also showed her that phone is rooted cause he has found supersu app:fingers-crossed: in the phone.
However as soon as he removed the phone from charger again it went dead. I have asked my wife to collect the phone.
Kindly help.:fingers-crossed:

Hi,
yes, you realised that you must flash a custom recovery via fastboot. You were not rooted after flashing supersu.zip because HTC phones have kernels with some kind of no-root protection. So for you could be solution to flash some custom rom with non-stock kernel(or flash only new kernel, that should be enough). I suppose there are some roms for your phone. Try to find rom which is almost stock, but with some additional features, like root access. BTW, this is Desire thread, no Desire 500, so try to find somewhere else.

Really thanks a lot for your reply as it has given me some hope. It will be a great help if you can guide me where to find custom ROM for Desire HD 500 dual sim as this model was launched in November 2013. Also if you can help me to guide to the HTC Desire 500 Thread. In device search I could not find my device listed on XDA hence I had to post in HTC Desire forum

Try to flash this kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600294. On post #24 is written, that this is working also on dual sim model. So with this kernel it should be all right (it disables the HTC System Write Protection which causes your problems). Good luck

Thanks all for the help. Things proceeded till now are as below. Service center guy asked to replace mainboard for 5.5K INR. I asked my wife to take the mobile back to home. When he plugged in the phone in charger it was booted and everything was working fine, when he plugged it out of the charger it went off.
My wife asked him again to put it in charger but it did not boot up (Waited for 15 minutes) and only orange led was flashing.
She asked him to check with another battery which is charged.
so service center guy tried his mobiles battery which was 80% charged in my mobile, but phone did not boot and same orange led was being flashed if plugged into charger with different battery.
After taking the phone back to home she just plugged in the charger and after around 10 minutes it came back to life itself (Without even touching the phone). Battery was 0% after around 3 hours of charging battery was fully charged to 100%, I asked my wife to remove the phone from charger and insert the sim card. Till now it is working proper.
I could not understand that why phone's battery was not getting charged even if orange led was flashing and it was plugged in to the charger whole night and today suddenly it charged and phone switched on without even touching the phone.

Same problem here .. Orange light after Custom Recovery & Gapps ......
i charge whole 2 hours but still dead .. not going to recovery mode

I am also facing the same problem. I flashed SuperSU and later its not starting. Screen is just black. Not able to boot into recovery mode. Orange LED flashes when I plug in the charger. I do not know what to do. Anyone has any idea ??

If you can enter fastboot mode (hold power and volume-), try flashing cwm or twrp found in the ultimate thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597314). If you cannot enter fastboot mode, you phone is hardbricked. Go to a service center
If installing cwm or twrp works, follow filwatt's tutorial about getting back to stock.
Edit: cwm download is found in post #538

I am not able to enter fastboot also. Holding volume down + Power button does nothing.
Few minutes back I observed that my phone vibrated 5 times while plugged in. Does it indicate anything ?

I removed the battery and waited for some 20 mins as suggested in another thread..then put everything back it turned ON. But still I feel this phone is very vulnerable

You need to turn off fast boot under power options
Sent from my HTC Desire 500 using xda app-developers app

Phone won't start after shutdown
My phone won't start once I shut it down. I have to remove the battery. Wait for some 10-15 mins and put everything back to start it again.
Anyone else facing the same problem ??

Boot up problem
yesterday I unlocked the boot loader successfully and after that i flashed cwm recovery. On CMD screen status for flashing the recovery was OK but after that the phone went dead and not booting up. I had removed the battery and put it back but no luck except the orange LED is blinking if I connect the phone with charger. So anyone here with solution for this problem?

Hello guys,
I'm using Evercoss A65/Sprout 8. And I'm using CyanogenMod 13 (Official Nightly - January, 21 Build)
And, I'm using TWRP as Recovery.
Last night, my phone is on low battery, and then I charge it.

In the morning, I check my phone and it was on the black screen, just like a boot loop.
I tried to reboot it several times, unplug the battery, sim, and sdcard. But, these things just doesn't work out.
I have try to going into Recovery, and it shows standard menu which has; reboot normally, reboot recovery, fastboot mode, options..
I've tried every single option, like normal reboot, reboot into recovery, etc. and it come back again into the blank black screen.
(So I can't get into Recovery)
I try to find the solutions, but I have found nothing

It uses android L, and yes... I rooted it

This is nothing to do with the ROM, ur battery has completely empty that y when u power on it blink then off again n if u goto bootloader,then select any option also it will blank
Solution- Charge ur handset leave it for more than half an hour,and check again,if still problem persist,try to power on with other battery.
