[SOLVED] Stuck on white HTC screen after flashing the latest Unity v9 kernel

---

Guys, i flashed the GoApk ROM 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 and everything was fine. Today, i flashed the new Unity v9 kernel after wiping Dalvik cache and rebooted, but now my phone has been stuck at the wite HTC screen for the past 1 hour. The three button reset is not working, neither is the adbreboot recovery command as adb does not detect my device. Please help... I do not want to pull the battery and fry my eMMC.

EDIT: Got into the recovery and restored nandroid backup. Back up and running now. Thanks everybody for their contribution.

Look in my signature for various links...

Download and extract the adb & fastboot into a directory on your PC. Ensure that you have HTC drivers installed on you PC if not also download and install the link in my signature.

Then fire up a CMD on your PC, go to directory where adb is and issue the command

adb reboot recovery

which should take you into recovery, where you'll be able to reflash or restore a nandroid backup from.

What's your hboot.
It's a most recent 2.00.2002
or the older ?

I think it got updated to the most recent one when i flashed the ROM. I tried everything you have suggested. Nothing works...

I'm just waiting for the battery to run out so it powers off and then i'll try to boot into recovery again. I thought Unity kernels were compatible with sense roms. Please can anybody help me out here?

No, the newest hboot must be flashed alone.
It's not included in the rom.
You can find it on this thread: GUIDE: new hboot 2.00.2002 for sense3.0 adnroid 2.3.5

it's a solution maybe

Maybe you have new .2 hboot and kernel is not compatible ?

Will it help solving the problem ?

So then what should i do now? Will i ever be able to boot into recovery? I have ClockWorkMod recovery.

i dont think that install kernel kill your phone. if you can't access adb or anything you have no other chance as pull the battery.

if something like this me happen,

- i pull battery
- go to recovery
- go to 4EXT menu and wipe system,data and cache as EXT4
- then go to factory reset and install your rom
- restart

@ proxuser: But i do not have EXT4, i have CWM recovery. Can you guide me as to how to do what you sais in your last post please?

Have you attempted the suggestions in my earlier post #2?

After following what I suggested, although I'm not the only person to suggest that you attempt to use adb ....you seem to be missing the point or perhaps not understanding?

Follow step in post #2

Then fire up a PC CMD window, go to the directory where adb is extracted to and type the command

adb devices

tell us what the response is?

It doesn't matter whether you have CWM or 4EXT they both are similar and perform the same functions.

If you have to pull the battery, READ the first post of this thread
