If the phone don't get any boot menu by key combination than it means that You have damaged boot area and Your phone is transformed into a very expensive brick.
You can try to find someone in Your area to fix it by jtag.

are you seeing ! <---this on all corners? i had this problem but i was able to root the phone and install rom and it fixed the problem.
i used tiny linux method and it worked but had to try it many times

Ronaldo_9, I have this problem -

I have been trying the tiny linux as well - one or twice - but will try it again as you recommend - but - do you think it will work if I do not have a gold card ?
I am a bit at a loss - and posted another thread trying to get assistance

[Q]Recovery Issue

Hello all,
currently running Modaco's rooted official fro-yo update (free version, not kitchen)
so yes i am already root.
i have a hboot 0.83 desire with the SLCD screens. i have used the patched image and used unrevoked method to root as modaco's method would not work.
i have 2 problems and any information would be grateful.
1)recovery issue
while holding down vol down + power and then selecting recovery to boot into recovery sometimes i will get into clockwork recovery and other times the phone will just hang on a white htc screen (not the black one when using wrong recovery!)
it is lucky when i do get to boot into recovery using this method.
i have tried connecting up the desire to the pc and running unrevoked again (using ubuntu 10.04) to try load the recovery menu again. same results though. sometimes i may get lucky and it will boot into recovery. a lot of the times it will just hang on a white htc screen for ages and not boot into recovery. this is frustrating when i try to change roms.
for example im having an issue with this current rom so i flash leedroid. all respect to him his rom is good. but i think its loaded with a lot of apps which i dont require.so i require to boot into recovery and adb remove the applications from the system partition and the data partition.
2)problem with modaco's rom
maybe not the right place to post this and i would receive better help at modacos website.
never the less someone maybe able to help me.
flash player doesnt seem to work at all on this.i visit the flash player site. it will usually tell you and show you a flash movie to say flash is installed or if not will tell you to download and install, in this situation pointing to market.
at this stage when it points to market i get a message saying "item not found"
so this means i dont have access the the full market for this device.
i could on the other hand unzip leedroids great rom and remove all the apps that i'm not intrested, resign and flash, but again i have issues with recovery.
any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hey,
There's quite a few people having the same issues.. some say it's because of LeeDroid ROM that's causing the issues, others say it's not. I for one am having the same issue only after I flashed LeeDroid. Since then I've flashed Open Desire and still having the smae issue.. never had the issue when I originally flashed Cyanogen.
However, someone noted that when booting into recovery.. do not touch any buttons or press anything until AFTER the SD check is complete. I tried this method.. and Clockwork Recovery loaded up just fine. It's not a corrupted image issue because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.. there's some sort of conflict somewhere.. that's my guess.

have you tried perma flashing a recovery using Unrevoked?

Thanks for the replies guys.
@Quazis
intresting that you mentioned leedroid. i too had flashed that and to think of it i bleieve i've had problems since then when i wanted to revert to modaco's 2.2 official fro-yo release.
thanks for a reply to the matter. when i boot pressing volume down and power into the bootloader, then select recovery from there, press power to select and then i do not press any buttons until recovery is installed. but i will try again.
@LennyUK
whats perma flashing?
i have flashed using unrevoked and i have to select a custom recovery image and select the SLCD image.
could you please explain further?
i have also tried to redo this process when booting into recovery failed using other attempts.
thanks for your help guys
i may create a gold card and flash the generic RUU with hboot 0.83 onto the vodafone branded desire and then unrevoke that in an attempt to fix the problem

hi guys,
hallo to everybody, greats job here!
I'm just wondering witch is the right recovery image to use with unrevoked 3.1, I tried to use the default one and when I go into recovery mode my screen become black and I must to remove the battery before going on.
someone can please help me?
regards
Miniera77

Well with Unrevoked once used you boot holding volume down and power
It then opens the HBOOT screen, wait for it to do its weird loading thing then select "recovery" using volume keys and hit the power button, the phone should then say "HTC" and should then proceed to boot into your recovery (I use Amon-Ra this way and then clockworkmod if I need it via rom manager).
I have not had any issues getting into recovery this way at all.

Hi Lenny,
thanks a lot for your answer!
...my problem is that when I do the procedure you've written:
- root by unrevoked
- holding volume down and power
- waiting till SD checks
- select Recovery by power button
...I can see the HTC screen and after that everything is black, the phone power off by itself and I cannot see any Recovery Menu. Than I must to remove my battery to be able to use again the phone.
I've tried once with clockworkmod recovery image and once with Amon-Ra but nothing change... I really don't know how to going on!
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
thanks a lot!
Miniera77

Miniera,
I think you have the SLCD version of the phone. If you're using the stock image, it won't work cause that's for AMOLED screens.
If you goto the Desire development section, there's a tutorial in there how to root SLCD version of the Desire with HBOOT 0.83. See what you can find in there and I'm sure you can get it to work

Or re-use Unrevoked, it has the SCLD compatible version of clockwork now.

me too lol
i will try unrevoked again (for linux) and see if this looses my recovery screen blank or not. if it does i will flash the SLCD.img version again.
again could someone explain what prema flashing is please? lol

well just flashed
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-froyo-pre-rooted-no-hboot-with-radio-deodex/
and everything works fine. except the recovery issue caused by the leedroid rom.
it took me 15 attempts to boot into recovery
got there and flashed this. and everything flies. sadly i had to reboot as i wanted to adb push some files from another build into this and well it took me a further 7 attempts to boot into recovery.
wish there was a fix for this

flash using the SLCD clockworkmod.img file found in the 0.83 hboot root guide in the development section. you will then see the menu

Just to update if anyone else reads. flashed the WWE 2.1 T2 for hboot 0.83 on and then re-rooted. fixed the problem and roots into recovery every time.
leedroid blames on bad nand sectors. i doubt a new desire will come with such a defect. but im not going to insult his work because its good, maybe not for me but its still damn good!
in the end ive solved my problem

[Q] Need Help for Upgrading my Defy

Hello guys,
I need help for upgrading my Defy to the last blur-less rom in 2.2.1.
What I did :
I had the motorola 2.1 stock rom.
I used superonclick to root my defy.
I had a custom recovery installed maybe the one with superoneclick.
I used Rdslite 4.9 with this rom : 3.4.2.-155-2 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978792
I flashed my device, it restarded, it booted with the "M" of motorola and the "android" logo and that's it, it doesn't go further.
I tried after that to flash differents .sbf of differents versions but some bricked my phone. I reflashed to the 3.4.2-155-2.
Now I still have the booting sequence until "android" logo. I can boot in "flash mode" 9.10 and I can boot in recovery but only to the trinagle, when I click on the bottom right of the screen it doesn't do nothing. edit : In fact I found an other post that says that we can boot in recovery by pressing up volume and down volume button at the same time.
What can I try now ?
Thanks for your help
edit : It's ok now, I could wipe my date and now it works fine. A lot of stress but it's ok now.

OK I've just recently upgraded my 2.1 to the UK 2.2.
When you go into recovery & you see the android logo the bottom right hand of the screen only works in 2.1 I believe so for 2.2 you need to press the volume up & volume down buttons both at the same time. This will take you to the recovery screen & you then use the volume button to choose the action eg; reboot, clear data etc & then press the power button once to confirm that action.
Hope that helps

[Q] HELP: My rooted G2 vision wont go to recovery, and it has long boot process

My G2 is rooted and It wont allow to access my recovery image.
Also: the phone takes awhile to boot up, I wiped and changed the rom already still the same results.
And it doesn't show any boot animations. I'm think this could be a hardware problem. Am I right?

Which recovery are you using? If you have 5.x its still very buggy and fails to boot to recovery a lot of the time. Downgrade back to 3.0.2.4, or use 4ext recovery.
On every boot? Cause the first boot is meant to take quite a while.
Please define how long exactly its taking, cause a minute or so is not unusual.
Boot animations would normally be a rom issue I think.
-Nipqer

If you are having trouble getting to recovery, you can 1) remove and re-insert the battery 2) hold down the volume down key, then press the power button on top of your phone 3) Let your phone boot to a white screen with colorful text 4) Use your volume up and down keys to highlight the recovery option 5) press the power button to select recovery.
Now that you are in recovery, you can either restore a nandoid back up you made previously, or flash another rom (you might be best off flashing a rom that is not Sense 3 or 3.5 unless you are sure you either have an HTC Desire Z (not a G2 phone) or you know that you have upgraded your G2 HBOOT to a Desire Z HBOOT).
Hope this helps you!

Every reboot it doesn't show the boot animations. and it also doesn't show the recovery screen at all. It's a display problem for sure I think.
Also the phone wont show the home screen until I tap the power button for like 2 minutes. (The LEDS pop up on the buttons, but the screen wont turn on)
I also changed the battery still no bueno.

I wish it did mate. I've tried all those solutions unfortunately. Thanks anyways.
Also I am currently running the latest CM7.

Try starting up rom manager. It had an option to reboot into recovery. It might work.
Further check if there is a file called PC10IMG.zip in the root of your sdcard. Delete it when it's present.

Hi!
I have a similar problem here!
I sent my Desire Z in for repair (display was not working), they replaced the main board and shipped it back with the stock Gingerbread ROM.
I downgraded to the stock Froyo ROM and rooted it again (including S-OFF, flashing HBOOT, CWM recovery etc.)
I wanted to restore a backup (done before sending it in) using CWM, but when I select the "backup/restore" menu item all I get is a black screen with the CWM logo in the middle. When I press the power button it goes back to CWM's main menu.
It's the same with version 5.0 and 3.0.
I was able to restore the backup from the ROM Manager, but I don't want to install any other ROM right now because if something goes wrong, I won't be able to restore.
Is there something I can do?
Thanks!

Well, I feel like a moron.
The power button is not to select menu items in CWM. When I press the trackpad instead of Power all is fine
Should I install CWM 5 again or keep 3? What do you recommend?

From all I've read CWM is still buggy. I'd use 4EXT Recovery instead. It has fantastic support and contains all the options in CWM and more. Link is in my signature.

Im also facing the same problem before this. Im unable to go into recovery by manual that mean by using vol down + power. Just boot normally & using the rom manager to boot into recovery. Problem solve.

hot to fix one im stock on load screen

ok guys I tryed to remove 3dot menu from screen and now Im stock on loading screen Im rooted what is proces to bring my one x to life

I had the same problem too - assuming youve got clockwork recovery and a back up made of your original ROM then;
Boot into fastboot --- recovery (by holding power and volume down for a while to get into fastboot).
Select restore - then choose your old ROM and go from there....
There might be an easier way - but thats how i done it whilst trying to install the 3 button menu removal over my stock 1.28 ROM.
Certainly worth flashing a new ROM over though - i'm using the excellent Venusaur Rom at the moment and inbuilt there is the option to remove this menu - amongst aload of other tweaks!
Hope this helps/works
