Enter recovery without computer - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was wondering if i could enter recovery on my desire without connecting it to the computer, like I used to on my dream. Isn't there a recovery that I could store on my phone?
Thanks in advance

There is fake flash which you can download and launch through the app Rom Manager.
Or there is now UnrEVOked. Which flashes a permanent copy of fake flash (clockwork mod) which is basically a permanent custom recovery image.

[Q] bootloop and red triangle in recovery mode HELP NEEDED!

Dear guys from XDA,
I think I messed up real good this time. My rooted HTC Desire with a 2.2 ROM wasn't taking the update which I wanted to do. To fix this I tried to manually update my phone by downloading the update on my computer and run it via Recovery mode. I used the option install zip from sd card.
Unfortunately by doing so, I did not realize I deleted my ROM and replaced it with an update. Now I'm stuck with a phone in bootloop and red triangle when trying to access recovery mode to install my older ROM (which I usually did when I messed it up).
I know I can press the volume up button and reboot but then I get stuck into a bootloop. Eventually I have to pull the battery out and I'm back at the beginning. Can't do anything anymore.
I tried many tutorials but I could not fix this, also I'm not really into the 'techy' stuff so can you guys be real clear in your help.
sounds like you're just missing a ROM on your phone. Can't you just download the ROM you want, put it on your SD card and flash that to get back up and running? Or restore a NANDroid backup?
...assuming you mean you rooted your phone and then failed at flashing a ROM..but it sounds like you might mean you attempted to download and OTA update after being rooted?
Download a ROM, put it on your SD card, boot into Recovery (vol. down + power), wipe all data, cache, dalvik, then install the new ROM from the SD card.
Hi,
thx for your reply. I am indeed missing a ROM. The problem is that I can't access the option 'install zip from sdcard' in my recovery mode. I am now trying to rename a ROM as update.zip so I can install that. Any further suggestions?

Install HTC Sync, download the RUU which most resembles your original RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667.
Connect your phone via USB in fastboot, and run the RUU.exe you've downloaded. You should be fine.
yes it helps you
you can run a RUU now
just plug phone with usb cable to PC, boot into fastboot mode and execute the RUU.exe
it will go back to stock, you will lose root and custom recovery but at least it will boot up, so you can root again etc.
Thx guys! that did it for me! Really easy job! You have no idea how relieved I am right now. Some tech-guys at my local computer shop told me to send it back to the manufacturer cuz the ROM needed to be synced with the motherboard. I already thought it was a weird story.
Again, thx XDA!

Cant mount SDcard after flash?

Hi!
I have flashed my HTC One X, but it didn't work well so i would back. But i messed it up.. CWM cant see my sdcard/ anymore.. So i cant do a USB fastboot, the windows scripts are failing etc..
Am i Bricked?
Daan

Your Recovery version?
Hi,
Yes. Yesterday i flashed from RevolutionHD Rom to Leedroid HD. Because Leedroid has errors i went today from Leedroid to MiUI. The same errors(was the backup-.-)
But then i would go back to Leedroid(love it<3). There went "something"wrong, dont know what..
It started with the /cache/ that was not asseble.. now the whole /sdcard/ isn't anymore.. That says CWM.

From where do you get this CWM 5.8.1.8 ? CWM for TP ?
Current version is 5.8.3.1 and the latest with auto-mount usb storage also 5.8.3.1
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819
Thanks! But i can't update i think, because my computer doesn't see the oneX..
It doesnt come in android anymore.
Can you goto your bootloader?
Go to bootloader, flash latest test recovery, then you're sorted.

But how can i flash te recovery when i canĀ“t acces te SDcard?:$
U don't need to worry about that. Only your cwm recovery isn't detecting ur sd partition. I doesn't matter, Just goto bootloader, connect to your pc and flash the latest recovery using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' cmd
I hope you are aware of this.

Please help me with my HTC one v (virgin mobile)

My htc one v (virgin mobile) (no simcard) (i think is CDMA) is not installing any backup recovery program no matter how many times i try to install it.I installed ROM Manager after unlocking bootloader and installing the CDMA version of root. After rooting it i finally clicked install the CWM from the ROM Manager. Everytime that i try to boot into recovery or make a back up it either freezes at the HTC screen which has red lettering that says that i shouldn't distribute htc stuff but i don't know what i'm doing wrong. I've followed many tutorials but i don't know why this is happening. I downloaded rootchecker and checked to see if i was rooted and it said that i was. I have SuperSU and everything. What am i doing wrong and how can i fix this so i can enter recovery mode to make backups so i can flash various roms? Please help me. Thank you
You need fastboot flash to install the recovery. Installing the recovery thru ROM manager may not work.
Here you can have link to the recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31868324&postcount=4
You need to boot your device in fastboot mode (same way like you first unlock the bootloader) then run command
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery,img

[q] installed cwm-r on boot :(

I accidently installed CWM_recovery on boot mode and now when ever i turn my phone on rather then boot the recovery menu pops up..... please guide me how install the stock rom back to my phone.... please help....
Your question is not really clear. You say you flashed clockworkmod recovery and you are not able to boot into a ROM. Did you delete your ROM/wipe system? You need to reflash a ROM from recovery, first download one on your pc (stock ROM available on Xda) and then transfer it to your sdcard. Now install the zip through recovery.
Does that work for you?

You're not telling us much but if I had to guess I'd say you flashed a recovery after formatting system so there's no ROM to boot. ADB push a ROM to your sd card then flash in recovery.

[Q] [HELP] Performed wipe, accidentally rebooted before flash. Bricked?

Running CWM 3.x.x from DHD release
Downloaded CWM 5.8.1.5 zip and 'flash' using install zip util on 3.x but when I went back into recovery it was still 3.x
Didn't realise it was 3.x so I wiped then full wiped etc, then realised 3.x so ran 5.x install again
Decided to reboot to make sure 5.x had installed BUT I hadn't yet flashed a ROM on!
Stuck at HTC screen, have a broken 'DOWN' button so I can't boot into recovery and I can't get into Android and reboot to recovery for obvious reason
Please please can someone help? I just need to get back into recovery to flash.
If it helps, I'm on OS X but I have access to Windows and iirc Ubuntu
Danke

So to clarify. You tried to flash the CWM5 recovery.zip from CWM3 recovery, but it failed? You could try to fastboot flash the recovery.img from your computer. Also, are you S-On or S-Off?
To reboot into recovery connect to computer and from cmd type "adb reboot bootloader."

My volume down button is broken so I can't access anything on the device. Yes I tried to flash 5 from 3 and it failed.
I'm fairly sure I'm s off. When I rooted etc I used the phone only method so I didn't need adb. Will I need to download anything?

Take a look at your bootloader info. If it show 'ace pvt __ s-off, means that it is s-off.
Fail in flashing rom sometimes hinting that there is something wrong with hardware. Unfortunately our hardware expert is no longer here.
