Root Looped White HTC screen after root attempt

[maximum12]

Hello dear friends,
I am new at this formu, but i have read some of possible solutions for my problem, but still couldnt figure it out.
I have realized that this forum members have a great deal of expirience dealing with similar to mine problems, so i decided to ask youre help about it...

After attempting to root my Desire HD, i have manneged to enter it into a white boot screen, not able to boot to any ROMs i have tryed to flash via HBOOT or via win7 with exe files.
I was fool anough not to make a backup of my stock rom.
The interesting thing that i am able to flash this ROM via ClockWork recovery: HTC_3.06.405.1_rooted_v6.0.zip it takes me through an initial setup of WiFi, time and so on (after the HTC white screen), but then, when i hit the finish button, it gives me an error of setup proccess and forces it to close. after that, nothing works, i get a black screen with a scale on a top of a screen which i can scroll down.

the info that i see in HBOOT:
unlocked
ace pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-2.00.0029
microp-0438
radio-26.14.04.28_m
eMMC-boot

I do know how to relock it with htcdev method, so no need to explain me how to do that.
Please help me to unbrick my phone!

htcdev does not allow recovery to install the boot image. you may be having a kernel issue,so remove the boot image from your rom download,then place it into your folder contaning adb/fastboot,unlock_code.bin,etc.

place your phone in fastboot,change to the fastboot directory,and flash the boot image with this command:

fastboot flash boot imagename.img

so assuming it to be named simply "boot":

fastboot flash boot boot.img

hopefully that will get you going. if not,you can try some other roms. the process will be basically same for any rom you install:

-place boot image into fastboot folder
-place rom on sd card
-boot to recovery
*always make a nandroid of a good running rom
-wipe date
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-go to fastboot(most recovery options have a boot to bootloader option. if not,power off and enter fastboot thru hboot)
-flash boot image as i described above

without a backup,you have 2 options:
1)install a rom

2)relock and run an ruu

#2 can be tricky,depending on what your stock rom is/was

hope that helps

scotty85,
i did those steps:

- - run all the data and cach wipe
- fastboot flash boot boot.img (this ROM: HTC_3.06.405.1_rooted_v6.0.zip)
- flashed the Rom via ClockWork recovery

then still i pasted the initial setup process of time, wifi and so on, but as i finished, i got an error of setup proccess and forces it to close.

i will try now to run this RUU: RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_TUR_3.13.468.2_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227499_signed.exe

All right!
I reLocked the HBOOT, ran this RUU RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_TUR_3.13.468.2_Radio_12.65.6 0.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227499_signed.exe
and my DHD is back on line!

How do i know weather my phone is still rooted?
And if so, can i flash it with rooted ROMS?
What is recommended app to backup my ROM?
Still, i dont understand what was the problem and why i couldnt flash any popular ROMS i tryed... maybe you guys can tell me?

your phone is not rooted at this point.
And if so, can i flash it with rooted ROMS?
you will need to re-unlock,reinstall recovery if you want to reroot or flash roms
What is recommended app to backup my ROM?
use your custom recovery. if you followed the guide i wrote here,i would recomend to keep using ext 4 for a recovery.
Still, i dont understand what was the problem and why i couldnt flash any popular ROMS i tryed... maybe you guys can tell me?

as i said above,htcdev cannot install the boot image from a permanent recovery. one possibility may be that there was an issue with flashing the boot image(maybe you got an error you didnt realize was an error)or you got the boot images mixed up and flashed ones with roms they werent compatible with. without knowing your exact processes and seeing your commands in the window,its unfortunately impossible to say for sure.

another option may be something running on the PC thats interfering with the boot image flashing. youll need to disable any software that can talk to the phone(htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,even itunes)

you could have bad usb cables or ports,you could be using a hub or usb 3.0 thats messing with things,or if youre using wondows 8,could be a prollem with that.


hope that helps.
