[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
See if this helps although it does not sound like this rom is your issue. If not you should please post on the General Q&A board for assistance and I am sure there will be a lot of people smarter than I to help you.

You can download the PD98IMG.zip put it on the root of you SD card and boot into Hboot. It should find the file and load the rom. Either find a rooted rom and rename it to this or download the PD98IMG.zip from XDA either the rooted or stock. then reload CWM if need be. :)

This may be a way out also but you will have to reflash the rom again....

This is from Bubby's Root Method thread - I take no credit for it.>

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CWM RECOVERY FADING TO BLACK AFTER THE HTC SCREEN FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO FIX PROBLEM.

I am going to assume a couple of things.

* You are on Windows

* You have S-Off and you have root (confirm otherwise this will not work)

* You have the Hack Kit installed. IF YOU DO NOT, download it here...http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/ace-hack-kit-v9.tar.gz

- Make sure you turn off your antivirus software

- Make sure on your phone Fastboot unchecked, USB Debugging checked, Charge Only

- Connect your phone to computer via USB cable

- Open a CMD window (as administrator) Start button, type CMD in search box, right-click on CMD and click on Run As Administrator

- go to the directory where you unzipped the Hack Kit

- in the CMD window type "hackerize-ace install-downgrade", you will see a message that ROM is being pushed to SD card, it'll take a little while. (do not close CMD window)

- After pushing ROM your phone should reboot automatically and you may see your computer installing driver files (don't worry if it does not successfully install all drivers).

- At the FASTBOOT USB menu press power. Your phone will search for the downgrade rom and start loading PD98IMG.zip file (blue progress bar on right, be patient).

- Confirm Start Update

- Then reboot

- Go through the Setup on your phone, check to make sure Fastboot unchecked, USB Debugging on and Charge Only

- Go back to the CMD window and type "hackerize-ace rage" (do not close CMD window)

- Start Visionary program on the phone

- Click Temp Root Now, then try Perm Root (it’ll say rooting device), allow superuser.

- Your phone should reboot

- Start ROM manager and Flash Clockwork Recover (3.0.0.6 is fine)

- Back to the CMD window and type “tools\win\adb reboot recovery”

- It should reboot your phone into Recovery Mode. For the time being reboot your phone and just check the fastboot unchecked, usb debugging checked and charge only settings.

- Go back to the CMD window and type "hackerize-ace setup-radio", "hackerize-ace flash-radio" which will reboot the phone into Fastboot mode. Press power to start the process.

- Reboot phone

- Go to the CMD window and type "hackerize-ace clean" (removes zip file from sd card).

- You won’t have any sound until you install a ROM. I would suggest you start with CM7.

- Download http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace (I'm currently using cm_ace_full-30.zip without any issues) and copy the file to the root of your SD Card.

- Turn off your phone to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. Hold Vol-Down and press power, hold Vol-Down until Fastboot menu, press power to enter HBOOT mode (let it do its check), Vol-Down to select Recovery and press power, phone will boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.

-

- First wipe your data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition.

- Now you can install the CM7 Rom. Use Volume keys to select "Install zip from sdcard", press Power, Vol keys to select "choose zip from sdcard", press power, Vol keys to select cm_ace....zip(or any other ROM you download).

- After you install CM7 you may also want to install Google Apps. Download the following file and repeat the "Install zip from sdcard" process above.
