Im fully rooted, and I was able to flash to Fresh's rom. I guess not deleting the Pc36*** file, when it rebooted, i panicked (lol) and reinstalled the stock rom...
Now I have absolutely no idea how to get back to the green recovery screen where I can flash from zip...
Is it me, is it a adb thing?
Any help is greatly appreciated....
if you have a custom recovery: power the phone off, hold volume down and then press the power button. Continue to hold volume down. Make sure the pc img is off the sd card, wait for it to go through the motions then enter recovery

Where do i go from here partner?
yeah, so try doing what I said above. Turn off phone, hold volume down, press power and release and continue holding down. You will get to hboot and it will scan for the pcimg and should not find it and present you with a menu. Go to recovery and that should be it

I did so, and its just sitting idle with the phone & red triangle. My only option from here is vol up and power to take me to the blue reboot screen...
Thanks for the help by the way...
hmmm, I would have thought you would have a custom recovery from Part II of toast's rooting guide. Have you unlocked your nand through that procedure?
in any case, you can always download rom manager from the market, and that will allow you to install a custom recovery and boot into recovery from android. I am not sure if the new version requires nand unlock so make sure you have done part II of toasts root guide

I was able to flash from the green recovery screen tho. Im not understanding this. I even updated the radio and wimax thru the same green screen...
Thanks for your help..
how were you flashing before? did you use clockwork recovery (i think thats what it's called) through rom manager?
I dont think that I have clockwork on my phone. I was able to vol dwn/power, hboot would see the PC36*** because I was not informed to delete it, and instead of updating i selected NO, and it took me to the green recovery screen...
Ok, so I would try flashing the recovery from the second part of Toast's rooting guide. If you can do that, then you can just use the volume + power thing to get to hboot, then select recovery and it should take you into the recovery that you flashed. From that recovery you can wipe flash backup, and all that good stuff.
you dont need to do the whole part 2 over, just the part about flashing the custom recovery.

I have rooted the phone and was able to flash a new rom with no problem. Now I tried to do a full root and now my phone just stayed in reboot recovery mode, with a black screen w/ an EVO and an "!". I can not get my phone into "Android system recovery" in yellow letters at the very top mode
So when you boot while holding down the VOL DOWN and Power can you get into hboot, can you then go into recovery?
you have to use toasts EVO recovery and push the files to it. Im guessing you never did nand unlocking

I tried to do NAND unlock, once i put the phone in reboot recovery the phone just sits in reboot recovery mode
Mods close this thread, I had to load the shipped rom and start from scratch, but now i'm fully rooted with NAND.
I am on CM6 Nightlies and I flashed the Gala S Theme. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. Is there a way to nandroid restore without a computer?
Thanks.
This is what I can do with my phone to get into recovery on the fly
Assuming you are fully rooted with Nand Unlocked (Toast Part 1 & Part 2 or the equivalent using simple root)....
1. Turn your phone off
2. Hold the volume down button, then press and hold power
3. A white screen will pop up, wait for it to finish, then navigate to recovery using the volume down button and press the power button.
4. You are in recovery!
This works on my phone, if you get the Android with an exclamation point after clicking recovery from the white bootloader screen, I am almost positive you will need a computer.

If you are fully rooted then the easiest and fastest way to get to recovery is via Rom Manager, there is an option to boot right into recovery. This takes the less amount of time. Once in recovery there will be ab option for Nandroid then the back and restore option...

He's in a bootloop...rom manager isn't available.
Have you tried pressing volume up and power at the red exclaimation point? In the older versions of Clockwork Recovery, that was required to get it to load. (Which recovery were you using to get the nandroid in the first place?)

you can run the older method of recovery from when before we could flash nand, i dont have the link, but a search should turn it up.

I got my phone a bit damp while skiing and now the + vol button doesn't work. I would like to keep playing around with Roms however the inability to flash an update.zip to boot into clockwork mod worries me too much.
Is there anyway to get into the standard recovery without holding the + and pushing power? Or possibly hard-flash clockwork mod?

---Solved, flashed recovery using unREVoked, works well now. Thanks everyone, back continuous unadulterated flashing---
Well, ROM manager can boot into recovery, but obviously that requires a working ROM.
Regards,
Dave
Install ROM Manager from the Marketplace, use the custom clockwork recovery image in my sig (fake flash). You can then install the custom recovery image from the root of your sd card using ROM Manager. To flash ROMs in the future, in ROM Manager, select the 'Install ROM from sd card option'. You can then use the trackpad to navigate through the recovery menu options instead of the Vol key.

Yeah I know I can get there from Clockworkmod, but the rom needs to be working. I'm worried about flashing anything else in case one of the roms is broken.
I've read that unrevoked rooted phones can do it, can I use the unrevoked method even though I'm already rooted with Paul's riskfree?
If you turn on your phone while pressing the "Back"button on the right of the (OJ)optical joystick, your phone boots in "Fastboot"
Then you select "Bootloader" by pressing the powerbutton
If one of your vol buttons still works, you can press it untill you've selected recovery
Et Voila

Use UnrEVOked to permanently flash a recovery image onto your phone.
Regards,
Dave
From terminal
su
reboot recovery
Also works
Where to from here?
I have been reading up on fastboot, in which I should be able to restore a nandroid backup if flashing a rom fails. This doesn't need the recovery console, there is some contingency I guess.
Has anyone used unrevoked on a prerooted device? are the steps the same?
Gas
For instructions for flashing a permanent recovery image (UnrEVOked) are pretty straightforward. Please see the following link for more information:
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146
Just make sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled beforehand. To remove UnrEVOked, simply flash your original RUU file, which will also return you to stock and remove root.

this will completely restore his phone to stock. ie; what ever rom he was using before, so be aware he is goint to lose everything.
yank the battery, put it back in
reboot into recovery
(hold Vol. Down and then hit the power button for like 2 seconds, once in the white screen with menu [fastboot] use vol. down to highlight recovery and hit power button) (if the fastboot menu asks if you want to flash the PC36Img file tell it NO. and it will take you back to the regular fastboot menu.)
do a full wipe
restore a nand backup or just reflash the rom he was using.
trying it now
it says no image

Did you get it straightened out yet? What method of rooting were you using? When you boot to the bootloader, does it show you Ship S on or Ship S off? Report back, and I'll try to give you further instructions.

Okay. It sounds like you were using AutoRoot, I think. So your bootloader shows S off now. Do you have a recovery installed? From the bootloader, select recovery. What happens? Does it successfully boot to recovery, or does it give you a black screen with a triangle and exclamation point? If its the triangle and exclamation point, you don't have recovery, and you need to flash recovery. That's the next step. I'll attatch a PC36IMG of Amon Ra V2.3. Download that file, and put it on the main directory of your sd card. (you may need to put your sd card into a card reader to do this). Once the file is on your sd card, put the card back in, and boot to your bootloader. It should scan the sd card and find the PC36IMG, then ask you to press volume up to update. Do it. When it finishes, choose no to reboot, then select 'recovery' from the bootloader screen. From that point, you should then boot into recovery. If you successfully boot to recovery, you can then do a full wipe and flash a rom. let me know if you don't know how to do that.

That's an outdated method that doesn't work any more, right now you just have old firmware on your phone and that is why it won't let you boot normally. You're going to want to pull the battery and then hold vol down while turning it on to get to the bootloader. From there put it in fastboot mode and flash the 3.70 RUU. That should get you back up and running.
Once that is done there is a sticky in the Q&A section that has links to newer root methods in it.
i had that prob with unrevoked i pulled the battery held the vol. down an power to get the red triangle up restarted unrevoked and it finished it and got me rooted
yes to all no recovery, triangle comes up, yes please send attachments you mentioned to download. And i do not no how to do wipe. Thanks for all your help much appreciated. will wait for your next email. Thanks again

Save the file on the root of your SD card (not in any folder). Power off your device. Now simultaneously, press the down volume button and the power button until your device starts. When you enter the bootloader screen, there will be a short pause and then several lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, you will have options o choose. Choose "recovery". You will then boot into your recovery. Once you're in recovery, the menus are pretty self explanatory. There should be a wipe menu or something that pertains to wiping cache, dalvik, factory reset, etcetera. Basically, wipe everything in the menu except he SD card itself. Now go to the flash menu or something that pertains to flashing a zip. Select it and then select to flash the RUU rom file you just downloaded. Be patient. When it is complete, you should be given an option to reboot. Select reboot and wait until you device finish booting.
