Help! my phone is stuck in a bootloop

Blizzard158 · October 1st, 2012, 10:18 PM

So i was trying to root my phone or whatever so i can install a custom rom and i was following this guide

[guide] How to manually downgrade firmware build 6.01.605.05

I got all the way to the end and was about to use revolutionary to install a recovery or whatever it was supposed to do, but then my phone started to bootloop and i followed the instructions to "flash the 0312 radio" but i get

c:\miniadb_inc2>fastboot flash zip 1.09.01.0312_vivow_Radio_PG32IMG.zip
sending 'zip' (13225 KB)... OKAY [ 3.251s]
writing 'zip'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 6.046s

so do i have to hold the power button and down volume to enter hboot and do a factory reset? will that lose all my progress with the downgrade?

There should be a line above that.

Did you hTCdev unlock?

Will the phone boot? I think you have the hboot that doesn't need to be downgraded.

There is no line above that, the phone will boot and i didnt do the HTCdev unlock, was i supposed to? i thought i was suppose to downgrade first

bberryhill0 · October 5th, 2012, 06:57 PM

The reason it's not working is that you have the old firmware that doesn't need to be downgraded. Just go to Revolutionary and root it.

Blizzard158 · October 5th, 2012, 07:21 PM

My phone was updated and then i downgraded to the old firmware and since then, it got stuck in a bootloop. i downgraded because i was following this guide that said "If it's 6.01.605.05 710RD use:" and i had that version so i went to downgrade.
So do i need to do a HTCdevunlock now or go ahead and use Revolutionary?

bberryhill0 · October 5th, 2012, 08:09 PM

Do not hTCdev unlock. Just go to Revolutionary. Then flash the .0312 radio if you want to run Sense ROMs.

okay, so i do a "adb devices" command and my device does not come back, it also says that my phone is not recognized on my icon bar and i know i have the drivers installed or is this an effect of downgrading it and i corrupted something? i also tryed revolutionary and it comes back "waiting for device" ive tryed it about 4 times running it as administrator.

You should have originally posted in the thread you were using to downgrade. I don't know which setting you have wrong.

Blizzard158 · October 5th, 2012, 09:32 PM
