I've tried flashing the PD98IMG.zip in the first thread, for the phones with S-ON (WWE STOCK). I still can't get my phone to read the file, though. I've tried with 3 different SD cards, 1GB, 8GB and 32GB. It says "No image or wrong image"

The problem came when I tried to use HTC's own root software. I followed the guide found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1528925

I installed the recovery, no problem afterwards. Then I installed Cyanogen, without taking a backup, goddamnit.

And now I have a white screen with the HTC logo, and no progress.


Text from recovery:

*** UNLOCKED ***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0029
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot

Any suggestions?

That guide is actually missing a step, and its why your phone wont boot. After you flashed cm you need to boot back into hboot and flash the boot.img.

To do this on your PC open up a copy of the cm zip and pull out boot.img. place that file where fastboot files are located as he states for recovery and run the command.

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Now reboot your phone and all should be fine.

Since you decided to do the HTC Dev method you have to flash the boot.img seperatley for every rom. 4ext recovery has a new option that bypasses this step.you may want to flash that recovery.

As to why your phone wont find the WWW ruu.not sure how having an unlocked bootloader effects things. I think it might have to be relocked I order to flash it but not sure as I've never done it.

Personally I would relock the bootloader and see if the pd98 works then root correctly with the hack kit

Oh man, thanks marsdta! It worked!

You're a lifesaver!

Seems like a bad idea I followed that guide, then. Then I'll try to relock it, when I've pulled myself together.

I tried flashing Android Revolution HD 7.0.3 now, because I use that on my Sensation as well. Now I'm stuck in an endless bootloop, even though I applied the boot.img - I wonder what the problem is now. Bah, I'll just try another ROM.

Hey guys, hoping you can help.

I have a DHD Voda-AU s-on which is stuck in a boot loop. I can however access HBOOT.

I have followed the instructions here (thanks marsdta) but keep getting a 'Incorrect CID' message when flashing a ROM. I have looked for a Voda ROM on these forums (and elsewhere) and there only seems to be images (not a RUU, etc.) of the stock Voda ROM available (I checked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842722 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876), which I cannot install given my limitations in only accessing HBOOT.

I've looked into flashing stock HTC ROMs (to no avail) and it appears I can't use a Gold Card or s-off my phone unless I can boot the phone.

Any ideas on how I can recover my phone?

What were you doing before it got in the boot loop. Unfortunately there is no ruu available for au but there is a few things you can try. 1) did you try a factory reset for within boot or stock recovery? Note don't do this if you were trying to root with the hack kit, as it'll get rid of USB debugging. You should check out the irc chat room for some help.

2) if above didn't work, you can try making a gold card manually then try flashing a wwe ruu/pd98img

not sure why, but phone just locked up and the only thing I could access was the bootloader. I wasn't actually trying to do anything with the phone.

1) did you try a factory reset for within boot or stock recovery?

yes, tried factory reset - it appears to work but then once I boot the phone it gets stuck at the android lock screen (the unlock ring doesn't move). Eventually the phone reverts to boot looping.

2) if above didn't work, you can try making a gold card manually then try flashing a wwe ruu/pd98img

The only instructions I could find for a Gold Card required access to a working phone - can anyone point me to instructions on how to create a GC with only bootloader access?

In the general section their is a thread that has a guide. You'll just need some kind of adapter to read the microsd card on a PC

Thanks for helping marsdta.

I tried to follow those instructions, however I am stuck at:

2. Launch GoldCard Helper on your phone. (Download Here)
3. Write down the ‘Card:mmc2, Reverse CID’ value, making sure to use mmc2 and not mmc1. (For how to find CID look at first post)

I am not sure how I can get my mmc2 value without access to my phone. I have been able to access my phone using Android SDK ADB, and able to getvar my CID, but I don't seem to be able to get my mmc2 value that way.

Whoops should have read it closer before I linked to it. I would search around for something that doesn't require it. I remember seeing it somewhere. I'll look as well and if I find the link I'll post it here

Perhaps adb? It just occurred to me that I can access the phone - perhaps through the PULL command?? That way I can access the file referenced in the Goldcard post:
sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:0001 (you’ll find that 0001 will be different on your device) Long press on the CID file.

I don't have the phone with me at the moment, so will give it a shot when I get home.

Would still appreciate any other post that may help.

EDIT: Just found the following instructions, may also give this a shot.

4. Type the following command:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
5. Select and copy the cid
