An update Smiley

I managed to get into recovery (by complete luck it seems because it has never worked before) my phone boots now but is stuck in a bootloop! still getting somewhere!

Trying to access the settings now to enable debugging hopefully then my phone will show as connected on adb.
How did you manage to go into recovery? I have the same problem as you. Tried to update to froyo, when it was finished i turned the phone on and it got stuck at htc logo, white background. I cant go to recovery, only fastboot. then i tried update with RUU and same thing. But now i have hboot version 0.93. Can someone help with this? I'm searching whole day on internet how to solve this but without luck. much appreciated.

Try to do a factory reset while in recovery.

IF that fails, use the RUU to reset the phone.

But i can't go to recovery. It's the same when i turn it on, hangs on htc logo. How do i reset the phone with RUU? You mean with fastboot, with RUU .zip file?

Sorry, i'm new to this stuff, but i'm a fast learner  Wink

Thank for the reply.

First of all, you need to get your phone into FASTBOOT. This is how to do it:
1. Remove the battery from your phone.
2. Replace the battery.
3. While holding [Volume -], press the power button once.
4. Keep holding [Volume -] until you see three little Androids skateboarding at the bottom of the screen.

Navigate using the Volume keys, and select using the power key.

You should see at the top of the screen, something like this:


Now, select "BOOTLOADER"
The word FASTBOOT should be replaced by HBOOT.
Navigate down to "CLEAR STORAGE" for a factory reset. I'm sorry, there's no way at this point to back up your data.

If that didn't work, please reply here... we will need to do a recovery

It's the back button, and i'm pretty sure. I've tried to clear the storage and then when it reboots it hangs.

Nexus, then I think the next logical step will be to use an RUU to reset it first. Download the one that suits you the most. I think it will be one of the WWE ones.

I have tried to flash with this yesterday:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe. That didn't help.

Right now i tried with fastboot command and PB99IMG.zip. It finished successful but the problem is still there.

My best bet... it's the hardware?

What! Really?! I waited 5 min. If it's so i'm an idiot.
Ok now i'm trying to update the PB99IMG from sd card. When it finishes i will wait for 30-40 min.
So it's the htc logo screen with white background where the phone does it's stuff? It's not some other screen?
