My phone is in a boot loop after a friend of mine tried to modify it and managed to install a wrong ROM. I can access bootloader, but not the usual HBOOT, my bootloader looks like this: (Because it's my first post I cannot put a link here, but maybe I can in the comments)
Recovery mode does nothing, it simply reboots the phone and the cycle begins. Fastboot mode is working, I can give commands through cmd, but not all commands work. For example i can flash boot boot.img, but when flash recovery recovery.img it says "partition 'recovery' not support flash", erase doesn't work at all, getvar all returns this....:
(Because it's my first post I cannot put a link here, but maybe I can in the comments)
ADB not working and when Fastboot devices it writes a random serial(0123456789AB). Something isn't good and that's why I suppose this isn't just a Soft-Brick.
Please help, I don't know what to do, can we make it work? :crying:
Thanks in advance!
Same exact thing happened to me yesterday and I'm still stuck with a bricked phone... Have you found any solution ? thx

Hi,
I bought a faulty Nexus one from ebay, thought I can fix it, as I did buy a faulty desire from ebay and was able to fix it. This time im not so lucky I guess.
So here it is:
The phone is stuck at X when booting normally.
I can access HBoot (But not Hboot USB Plug, because USB debugging is not enabled) and Fastboot USB. I unlocked Hboot. Fastboot in PC recognizes the phone but ADB does not as usb debugging is not enabled.
The phone is not Rooted
Here are my ideas so far:
Get somehow debugging on with some commands (No luck from reshearching in google)
Reflash stock rom with PASSIMG.ZIP in sdcard, but my phone does not recognize the file from my sdcard (I'm pretty certain im doing something wrong or my idea is somehow wrong)
Flash new images through FASTBOOT, but every time Signature check fails (Shipped-roms.com).
Root with superboot, but signature check failed here too.
Flash a recovery, signature check fails.
I will reguraly update my tries
Please suggest correction to my ideas or suggest new ones!
Help will be much appreciated!
I admit it, the phone might be briked, but I want to make sure that I have tried everything before I abandon this project.
And ofcourse I have no Warranty.
What file are you using for passimg.zip? Make sure it's not a zip inside a zip.
What images are you using via the fastboot flash command?

You didn't unlock the bootloader, it seems - because if you did, it wouldn't be checking signatures, and you'd be able to flash anything.
First of thanks to both of you for helping.
I'm pretty sure that i do not have zip inside zip and I downloaded them from shipped roms.com -> android -> Passion-> PASSIMG_Google .... .ZIP, (Then renamed it ofcourse) Is there a difference what version of android i use?
The issue with this is, it checks the SD CARD and does not find anything. I have seen from google that the most common issue is that it starts to check the .zip file but then aborts. Does the SDCARD have to be a goldcard (I do have a goldcard but it might be faulty, right?)
I tried fastboot flash PASSIMG_Google.... .ZIP; Fastboot Flashall ( With having boot, recovery, system in my fastboot folder)
Maybe I should try to flash everything the .zip has in it seperately because that succeded for boot, system and recovery but I was too afraid to flash every partitation (Like Radio which seems to be the scariest and the most easiest way to brick phone)
For the third answer, I have ***UNLOCKED*** in bootloader in purple and top on the screen.
Once again thanks and keep suggesting!
Unpack the ZIP and flash each image separately.
Leave the radio as is, if it's updated enough (5.08 or 5.12). In any case, fastboot won't allow you to flash bad radio - and the risk of bricking the phone using fastboot is near 0.
For passimg.zip, you need to download the FRG33 shipped ROM from shipped-roms.com then EXTRACT the zip file that is inside the zip that you downloaded. Rename that file to passimg.zip
For fastboot, flash boot and system seperately.
When you boot the device normally, do you see the lock icon below the four colored x?
Sent from my Nexus One
Okay,
Did it one by one (PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip):
Succeeded:
Boot, Recovery, System and Userdata (that was only 3Kb)
Failed with signature check (Remote:Signature check failed):
Splash1, spcustom,
Did not do:
Radio
I'm going to post more details:
When booting up, it displays the X normally with the unlocking badge on the bottom of the screen and vibrates once. Then it goes black for a second or even less, the same images comes on and then it vibrates 6-7 times.
now that you successfully flashed the stock recovery, cam you boot into it?
Sent from my Nexus One
Nope, it does that what I described on the previous post
Oh and what's more it randomly during no activity being in fastboot vibrates as well for 5 times or so. It does this rarely but it's there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710937
Thanks, Well thats it then for now, just have to figure out what to do now
Sounds like you need to get the PASSIMG.zip method to work, or unlock and flash a new recovery like amon ra, and flash a full rom with sig checks off.

Ok, but can you boot into recovery? In other words, boot into the bootloader and select recovery.
any solution?

Did you try all the solutions suggested above (passimg, fastboot flash, etc)? If yes then no I don't think so.
Hello all! Yesterday I tried to get new rom on my HTC Incredible S. So I unlocked it on the htcdev.com and get a recovery... all works fine since I get new rom, when I installed it and reboot phone it stucks on HTC logo and nothing happens. I tried 3 different roms and the same thing happens... In original recovery it says S-On and maybe thats will be the cause of problem? So what I should do now? Please help me! Thans for answers and sorry for bad english

dude you have to flash the roms boot.img seperatly. because you unlocked htc dev id assume you have adb drivers setup with fastboot.exe and all them files in a folder. for this im gunna pretend your files are in the c drive in a folder called android. before you start make sure you extract the boot.img from the roms zip file and put it in this android folder. open up command prompt and type the following.
cd c:\Android (Hit enter)
fastboot flash boot boot.img (hit enter)
wait for it to finish then reboot phone. rom should boot up fine
you must do this for every new rom until you s off

I'm no expert so can't help you much, but the first thing I would ask is, 'did you flash the boot.img from within the ROM .zip after you installed the ROM'?
I'm HTCDev Unlocked, with S-ON still, and two ROMs I've used recently are ARHD 3.0.0/3.0.1 & Project X. I don't know which ROMs you are trying...
Not all will be compatible, I tried THIS ROM first but it didn't work (and I got what you are describing). See the help I received down this page HERE and on the previous page of that thread, but it proved to be a no-go.
EDIT: Said the same thing as above, got beaten to it while editing my post!
same problem was there for me

u can see a file named boot.img inside the rom zip u downloaded.
open command prompt & navigate into the folder u saved fastboot files & type " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
then reboot phone custom rom will load.
I tried to do what you say, but it don`t works... I plug the phone in normal recovery and tried to use the : fastboot flash boot.img. When I hit enter i see message in cmd: unkown partition 'boot.img' error: cannot determine image filename for boot.img... what now?

You do not do this command from Recovery mode. You need to put the phone in FASTBOOT USB mode. So when you get to the HBOOT menu, choose FASTBOOT from the menu instead of RECOVERY. Then connect the phone to the USB port and type the following command:
fastboot devices
and your phone should respond with the device serial number. If it does, then you are good to go.
YEAH I DID IT!!! Sorry for it... Thanks for help and sorry for problems
My m8 is stuck in a boot loop and i am unable to access the recovery to factory reset the phone. Its been like this for 2 days now, and i have not found any solid help on the matter. I can get into hboot, however fastboot does not work and i cannot get into the recovery (the options are there, but when i press them they just disappear and nothing happens). If i connect the phone to my pc, the fastboot usb option shows up.
What im looking for are some step by step instructions on how to fix the matter. Ive posted on the /r/techsupport subreddit, and ive been told to either use an RUU or try and reflash a recovery, but without the instructions on how to do so.

i was successfully rooting my phone, using fastboot flash, i was thinking to use custom recovery but it need to unlock bootloader, i jog myself around google and found my self exhausted since none of their method work on my device, once i found a way to unlock my bootloader by downgrading the fastboot version, so i install the previous fastboot version with stock recovery on my phone, after that my phone start to reboot and stuck at asus logo, now its stuck at USB logo(clover view plus) now i pray to god to found solution to my problem rather i need dnx, ifwi, dnx osr, and fastboot .bin that worked with my device or any other way that make it through fastboot or droidboot again, i really really appreciate any working brain of yours
edit* Nvm, thank to god he give me bright way to resolve this problem the 4 siblings bin file actually work, now time to install stock recovery.
LMAO ypu answer your own problem
Hi everyone!
Since yesterday i am having problems with my phone, first it briked after a normal update, thanks god i unlocked the fastboot before, i installed a custom OS but didn't liked it, so i wiped both partition (and i think i ****ed up there)
So now i can still enter fastboot mode, but everytime i try to send fastboot boot judypn_TWRP_bootable-metadata.img (that yesterday worked) not it's not working anymore, it just boots normally and remain stuck in bootloop
On my microsd i put the img of twrp with metadata HavocOS and twrp zip too, yesterday i could install and enter in recovery mode them without any problem, today the boot img is sent but the phone "ignores" it.
PS. I can enter fastboot mode without problem, download mode isn't working
Thanks to anyone who can help!

So first, the forum you posted this in is called 'Roms, Kernels, recoveries and other development'... so which 'development' is this? a Rom? a Kernel? a Recovery?
None of the above right? So what you have is a 'question', and it should be in 'Questions and Answers'. Sorry if that offends, but if someone wants to find something in these forums, then posts need to be in the appropriate places...
First thing I'd do would be to get the phone's download mode (lgup) working again and flash a stock kdz. That way you can basically 'start over' (and hopefully have better results with your endeavors).
try this initially: Follow this link and read the 'notes' file. Hopefully that will give you lgup, if it doesn't then it's a more involved process to use edl and flash, basically, a whole image.
cheers
