But it took me to a clockworksmod screen and i totally confused pressed some stuff to take me back. So i turned it of and turned it back on, and it stays in the Htc white screen and wont go any further Idk what to do heeelpp please!! I really need my phone and have no money for a new one. Ive tried and searched the internet but no luck.I can go to the clockworks mod screen and the Hboot screen. Ive tried reseting factory settings but it takes me to clockorks mod screen all the time help please!

I'm not around my pc right now but I'll diva quick walk through on getting your phone to boot. Look in the rooting and hacks section in the shift forum, find the sticky with the list of ROMs. Just choose one, download and put on the root of your sd card. Now, go back into recovery, you'll see an advanced, click that and wipe dalvik cache. Go back then click wipe cache, then go back and click wipe data. Once you have wiped everything go to install zip from sd, scroll and find the ROM you put on your card and click it. This will flash the ROM that you chose. Once its flashed go back and select reboot. You should be fine after that.

Sorry for the jumbled directions but I'm on my phone. If no one else chimes in ill walk you through it later.

Good luck

Shouldn't matter which ROM you choose. Did you make sure you fully wiped everything?

Tell me what Recovery version your running. In clockworkmod what's the version at the top??

**crump84** · 07-27-2011, 11:06 PM

Worse case scenario you can use this

This is a one zip ruu that will return phone completely back to stock. *Unless you remove the hboot and recovery from within the zip this will cause you to lose root* Download the file and place it on the root of your sd card, then go into bootloader. Bootloader will recognize the image and prompt you to flash. This will almost definitely let you be able to boot your phone.

I am curious to why you can't get a ROM to flash though.

Yes that would be great because when it was rooted i couldnt install the newest upgrade of OS Gingerbread it would download and then when i tried to install a triangle with exclamation mark would appear. I really dont care about th root. I just care about getting my phone back. xD The version is 2.5.1.8

OK your problem is your recovery is old and the ROMs aren't compatible.

Download the file in the link. Place it on the root of your sd card, make sure it's still named PG06IMG.zip. Boot your phone into bootloader, and it will recognize the image and give you prompts to update.. Let it do it's thing, then reboot.

Could you be a little more specific, can you get into recovery?

Get the ruu file, connect the phone to your computer, and flash it that way. Has helped me out a few times and never fails. Just make sure the battery is charged.

Your phone is fixable, don't worry. Simply follow the same instructions posted in this thread about the RUU, or fastboot flash a custom recovery again.
