How to enter "oldschool" recovery with unrevoked already flashed - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody
So i flashed the permanent-clockwork-unrevoked-recovery and tried to do a nandroid. But it seems it cant handle the ext2 partitionen but only the ext3. Now i want to enter the good ol recovery pushed via usb for ext2->ext3 support. But how can I enter this one with the unrevoked thing booting automatic in the clockwork?

I give it a shot. Booting into Clockwork plug USB and run *-recovery.bat

If that doesn't work I think I seen a post saying you have to run an ruu.

I had the exact same issue, only i didn't try launching the normal recovery from clockwork.
If that fails i'd advise you to run a RUU and re-root your device.

Guys i fear my phone has bitten the dust;(

This morning i just flashed the new froyo rom that the xda guys had made and it said if you was experiencing any led problems to go into adb and delete a file.
I went into adb and mounted the system, but didnt delete a file, when i came out i didnt exit, i just pulled the usb cable,
is it possible that my system is still mounted and is stuck?
when i rebooted i am stuck on a boot loop from the first htc screen and i have no way of getting into recovery...
I dont think this is a usb brick as i didnt flash anything,
im not sure what to do now;(
I cant even flash a new ruu from fastboot;(
Hope you guys can help
JD
Almost the same hapened to med yesterday, but i was able to reflash.
Take out the batery and start into recovery directly, wipe before flash.
Good luck, i hope it works out for ya.

And trying to flash a stock ROM from the built-in recovery (the one accessible with volume-up and power from the HBOOT's red triangle screen)?
Just to be clear, with the device turned off you can't get into HBOOT holding vol. down and turning it on?

Just boot your Desire with volume-down pressed and once in the HBOOT, select RECOVERY; then, as the red triangle screen appears press volume-up and power until you reach a blue recovery console that has a "Flash from sdcard" menu entry.
Copy a stock ROM to your sdcard and flash it.
I've never tried that, but I readed that the console is able to flash HTC signed stuff, so give it a try...

Can't pass HTC screen

Guys i have a question regarding the htc splash screen. I rooted twice today just to test a few things.
When i rooted for the first time i used windows 7 + hboot drivers from unrevoked3 site and flashed/rooted my device (stock rom (froyo)). Everything worked fine but when i run clockwork recovery mode and select the backup option i get something strange.
My device is backing up and it says it's done, when i select the reboot option my device get stuck at the splash screen and reboots, hangs, reboots, hangs, reboots etc. I need to pull the batteries off to get back in recovery mode. This time i select restore and select the backup i created before all this happend. Now it's passing the htc splash screen.
Because i thought i got problems with the windows drivers i decided to root with linux, so i installed the official ruu update over my rooted rom and root it under linux to make sure i am a bit saver.
Now when i do a backup and reboot again i get the same thing ? it hangs at the splash screen. Is the unrevoked recovery tool bugged (clockworkmod) ??? because when i restore with the backup i created it is passing the htc splash screen again.
I don't understand.
(Sorry for my bad English)
PS: I used this rom to root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828519
As far as i know you need to root only once..i guess rooting again n again may hav messed wid phone..nt sure though..wait for a reply from someone who is experienced..i hav been using android since past 3 months only

What you could try is this.
Use unrevoked again, but in unrevoked select a alternative recovery image.
Then load this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
This is the amon-ra recovery. And for the record, you can root with unrevoked as many times as you want
Btw, you are sure that you waited long enough? If you restored a nandbackup, booting the phone can take 5-10 minutes
Oo..i thght it is similiar to jail breaking tht needs to be done onl once...lolzz

You really didnt read well didnt you ? it already happend the first time i rooted . Secondly, if i root and install a official ruu update over it everything will get wiped and cleaned....so there would be no problems when i decide to root.

Yeah i am sure....after backup the phone showed me the menu screen that i could select options such as rebooting the phone. When i reboot after backup it doesnt get passed the splash screen and reboots (and those steps gets repeated). If i don't use recover....my phone is dead
- Flash a stock ruu (rom)
- Then root again and use amon ra.

This seems to be a documented problem with Unrevoked. The first reboot after rooting and backing up Nandroid seems to hang the system for some, and restoring the Nandroid fixes it. After restoring the Nandroid (as you did) there should be no further problems. And since you did that, your problem should have been fixed. And since you restored to a rooted copy, why did you have to try again with Linux? Your problem was already fixed by the Nandroid Restore..
unrEVOked isn't the issue, Clockwork Mod is...just use AmonRA instead

Thought the 1st Nandroid Restore fixes it..Does Clockwork mod still pose probs?
Clockwork Mod is the issue - flash AmonRA from the start and you won't have this issue (or I never have anyway, use AmonRA as you can partition SD cards in it)
I have the same issue can't pass htc screen and with 2 black lines.
I will flash RUU then root by unrEVOked. My question is how to flash/install AmonRA, do i have to flash using Clockwork will it override my recovery? Sorry guys noob question...

I didn't have 2 black lines, mine rebooted after it couldnt pass HTC splash...i needed to remove battery or it keeps rebooting.
What i did with clockworkmod is restore (the backup you created before rebooting)....this should fix the problem. If this is not the case then i don't know because i never rooted before. You should ask a expert.
Anyway because i needed to restore anytime i posted this topic, people said i should use AmonRA. So to do this i installed the latest official ruu (posted by EddyOS) (to make sure everything is clean and good again). Then i used linux to make sure it is saver.
When you downloaded the unrevoked3 tool open it and don't plug you phone yet, go to options and select custom recovery. Now select the AmonRA (latest version i used) to flash with unrevoked3. Now plug in your phone and relax.
The only thing i am scared off is to flash hboot to go s-off.
Actually the cause of this problem was when i have tried the method for s-off...sad...
When i run unrEVOked it says this thing....
Device "/sbin/sh:getprop: not found

Try flashing true Linux. Download Ubuntu and this way you can boot your pc in linux.
Could you please give me a step by step guide on how to this unrEVOked if i have already booted up to linux? Im not familiar with the codes.

When do I run the Revolutionary pre4 file?
You shouldnt have to run a file. Just start up the program, plug your phone in with USB debugging on and let it do its thing.
Are you saying I don't need to run fastboot?
I D/L'd the pre3 file, plugged in my phone with USB debugging on, it just says "waiting for device".
What do I need to do BEFORE running the Revolution pre3 program?

If you are on windows then install appropriate drivers.
I think from what times said it has to be pre 2. And You cant mount the sd card. And you need to have the right HTC drivers installed
You also have to have fastboot turned off which is under power.
Can anyone tell me where I can download the drivers. I can't get revolutionary to detect my device.

I've been reading the forums for awhile waiting for s-off to be achieved and I just want to verify that this process will just simply root my stock 2.3.3. I don't want to flash a new ROM, I'm happy with the stock experience but I just want to be able to use Titanium Backup and freeze programs as I see fit like I did on my Fascinate.
Will this indeed just put SU/root into my stock without having to flash a new ROM?

No but it does get you started down that road. This will give you S-Off which will then allow you to install ClockworkMod which will then allow you to flash su and root your current ROM.
Here is what I did:
1. Installed HTC fastboot drivers (download link was on Revolutionary documentation wiki).
2. Connected phone in Charge mode.
3. Ran Revolutionary. It crashed installing CWM Recovery.
4. Ran it again, said the phone was already S-OFF but let me try to flash the CWM Recovery again. This time it worked.
5. Downloaded the SU binary from that same documentation wiki page.
6. Rebooted and went into recovery (make sure that Fastboot is unchecked in the settings).
7. Flashed the SU binary. Phone is now rooted.
8. Downloaded and installed Busybox and ROM Manager.
9. Badda bing.
10. Badda boom.
Hope this helps!
only works on Gingerbread now!

I attempted to do it on my own but i must of messed up half way where my computer wouldn't recognize my phone but i did get S-off but didn't get CWM on it and ended up just factory resetting. I was also wondering if I do root will I be able to switch back and forth from say CM7 to MIUI or back to stock and still have everything setup already?

Yes. ROM Manager gives you the option to make a backup of everything before it flashes the new ROM.

[Q] Trouble returning to stock

I am trying to return my father's evo to stock. It was rooted with CM7 stable on it. I have run through the RUU method but when the phone restarts it boots and then when the lock screen is unlocked the phone just restarts.
I have used the most current RUU, the first one list and a couple others. I have also tried placing the PC36img file and letting that update but upon restarting it just vibrates 5 times.
Well what hboot is he on? You need to use the correct firmware for the hboot.
2.10 = 3.70 and 2.16 = 4.24

That is the correct one, the first link. Though when running it, you need to:
-boot into the bootloader, select fastboot
-connect phone to pc via usb cable
-once fastboot usb shows up in blue, run the exe on the pc
Did you do that?

Since its still s-off you can try re-flashing the hboot [can be found in the radio, wimax, ect thread in the dev section] and then try to re-run the RUU. I have seen that fix similar issues in the past.

Okay.
1. Try it again ; it happens sometimes to a lot of people where it does that the first time, then works the second
2. Boot into the bootloader, do a clear storage, then try the PC36IMG again.

I had HTC Sync installed. I actually just uninstalled it per the unrevoked directions. The RUU completed but the phone just restarts when I try to swype to unlock it or if I wait long enough it will just restart on its own. I can't flash the S-on tool without a custom recovery installed, since running the RUU method removed the custom recover is that correct? I have tried to boot into the recovery via the hboot method and that just results in 5 vibrations.
are you able to use the phone.. can you install Clockworkmod recovery App?

Right now I am unable to the phone just keeps restarting after each boot. If i can get it to stop rebooting I will try to install clockwork recovery.
I am actually going to try an reinstall htc sync, reboot my comp, then rerun the RUU and hopefully that will stabilize the reboots.

I just screwed my phone and can't figure it out.

HTC M8 AT&T
I have been dealing with this all morning and I am about to blow my brains out.
I thought i was running twrp but was instead running CWM.
Previously had Cyanogen Mod working fine on the phone no issue. Just wanted android instead
Tried to install Android Revolution from zip. Boom done. Reboot
Encryption. Try all 10 passwords i EVER use a couple hundred times it seems.
Fail. So i go back to CWM and try to reset phone to factoy. Gives me error "unknown volume for path /sd-ext/
error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping Format
Data Wipe Complete
Boot up still asks for password try a hundred times again. Still nothing
Boot into fastboot to attempt to put TWRP on it. and no computer sees my phone in fastboot.
Any ideas how to save my phone?
Do you a nandroid backup? You can restore your phone and try one more time.
Tapatalked with my "refrigerator look" HTC one M8
Go me the noob. No nandroid.
Any other idea..

From what I seen you going to need to format the sd. You can see if twrp will format it but if that don't work try stock recovery and do a factory reset in bootloader.

As said if you get fastboot working you can flash a custom recovery or stock. You can then download a stock nandroid back up from the stock backups thread then flash the required backup from custom recovery.
All explained in that thread.
