[Q] HTC Desire HD Stuck on White screen - S-On with Root access

---

I have a problem with my HTC Desire HD after attempting to flash a custom rom.

Bootloader unlocked using HTCDev
Clockwork Mod Recovery (Touch version) installed
Root access
Phone will not boot into Android, stuck on white 'HTC' screen.

I have adb access when phone is in Clockwork Mod Recovery
adb shell is showing # so assume I have root

When attempting to flash RUU or PD98IMG get Main Version Older error.

So please can someone guide me in the right direction to recover this phone?

Many thanks

When you unluck using HTC dev flashing roms is different. You have to flash the boot.img separately. So what you do is flash rom,then boot into hboot and make sure fast boot is selected. Then flash the boot.img using the command

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then reboot. You'll have to do this every time you change roms. I recommend getting 4ext as it has a new feature that will do both steps for you and make it more like the regular soff method of flashing

Hi

Many thanks for tyour help, but I am still having problems.

I copied the boot.img from the Rom I had flashed (in Kernal/saga directory)
flashed boot.img using fastboot

but... still stuck on HTC white screen.

What have I misssed?

Not sure what you mean by kernal/saga directory. What from are you trying to flash? Saga is a different phone

Hi

I have tried again flashing boot.img that is in a PD98IMG.zip file.
Same result - stuck on HTC White screen.

Thanks for your help with this - is there anything else I need to check / do?

Your trying to flash the boot image of the pd98 onto a custom rom? Let's start from the beginning. Download a custom from from the dhd dev section. Let's say arhd. Place it on SD card and a copy of it boot image(from inside the from zip) in sdk where fast boot is located.

Boot into car do a full wipe(data/cache/system) and flash rom. Reboot into boot then flash the boot img

Many thanks - I realised my error from your previous comment on the sage Kernal.
repeated with the boot.img from the Ace directory in the ROM and I now have success.

I borked this on Sunday and have spend hours googling and reading trying to get it back - so many thanks for your help (and patience).

Muchly appreciated!!
