Recovery menu does not show update...

Trying to a manual update on a stock phone, hold power button and volume up keys get bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down, select bootloader now I have a menu of fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, hboot usb select recovery and reboots superquick and goes back to the first menu bootloader reboot reboot bootloader power down. Thats it keeps the same cycle, nothing about apply update. What am I missing? This was a replacement phone that came with the OTA update already applied.

this post makes no sense. if youre trying to do a manual update you go to settings, system updates, and take it from there. if you're not rooted you will not have a recovery image on your phone and can only load stock roms.

this is from another forum:
USB Cable
- Mount phone on EVO (you should see USB icon in status bar at top of your screen on EVO. Pull down status bar and click the USB icon. Mount)
- Copy downloaded file onto SD card listed in My Computer. (Just drag it on there)
- Unmount SD card and unplug USB Cable
- Turn off EVO
- Hold down the VOLUME UP button and push the power button
- Use the VOLUME button to select RECOVERY mode and push the power button to select
- Once in Recovery mode Select “apply update.zip” or “install from .zip” (depending on your recovery image)
DO NOT UNZIP THE FILE
YOU DO NOT NEED ROOT
Is this incorrect? Just trying to install the froyo update file from HTC.

he left a step out. if you are not rooted you will not have a recovery menu. So once you select recovery you will get stuck on a screen. once you are stuck on that screen press volume up and power at the same time (it may take a couple of tries) then an option to apply zip will pop up and it will then install.

thanks p-slim... will give it another go. so far it has just been looping inbetween the menus. thanks again

Well I dont know what went wrong it just kept looping between the menus. I justed rooted it and went on.

after youre done rooting, you need to remove or rename the PC36IMG zip file. otherwise you cant get into recovery.

[Q] Can I unroot a Desire with this method?

Hi Guys! really new to all this and don't really know what I'm doing, I rooted my HTC Desire quite easily with unrevoked3 (very painless), however I have realized a rooted phone is wasted on me and I'll prob do more damage than good if I leave it this way.
I have tried to unroot it with a few diff options I have found here however keep failing (it seems like the case with anyone who has a 0.93 bootloader) I have found the following method but i think its for an EVO, my question is would it work on a Desire with 0.93 bootloader?
STEP 1: DOWNLOAD
Download both the PC36IMG.zip and the S-On Tool to your PC Desktop. DO NOT EXTRACT
STEP 2: MICRO USB
Connect your device to your PC with the Micro USB cord.
STEP 3: DISK DRIVE
Chang your charging options to Disk Drive.
Menu > Setting > Connect to PC > Default Connection Type > Disk Drive > Done
STEP 4: S-ON TOOL TO SDCARD
Transfer unrevoked-forever-son.zip to the ROOT of your SDCard.
(Do not transfer the PC36IMG.zip yet)
STEP 5: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 6: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
STEP 7: FLASH ZIP
Select unrevoked-foreverson.zip in the selection area and press POWER button to complete the FLASH.
STEP 8: IS S-ON, ON?
When the FLASH is complete, Reboot the device into the Bootloader screen by holding down VOL + POWER until it boots into the White Screen. Check to make sure it says S-ON on the TOP. If it does, select RECOVERY with the VOL DOWN toggle. (continue to step 9)
If it says S-OFF, repeat STEPS 5 - 7 until it says S-ON.
STEP 9: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 10: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
STEP 11: TRANSFER PC36IMG.zip TO SDCARD
Connect the MICRO USB Cord. There is an option for this in both the Amon RA and Clockwork recovery.
Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the ROOT of your SDCard.
STEP 12: UNHOOK USB FROM PC + USB OFF
SAFELY remove the USB from the PC and then turn OFF USB in Recovery.
STEP 9: TURN OFF DEVICE
Power down the device by holding the Power Button for 2 seconds. Allow it to shutdown completely. Wait about 10 seconds before next step.
STEP 10: RECOVERY MODE
Hold down VOL DOWN + POWER until device boots into a White Screen.
Move to RECOVERY by using the VOL DOWN toggle and select by using POWER button.
The Device will check for the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the newly introduced update. Press VOL UP = YES or VOL DOWN = NO.
Once Completed, press VOL UP to reboot.
thanks for any help on this

Try using this method instead:
Download your original RUU from shipped-roms.com
You could try also try OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2-2.10.405.2_R_P_release8gn61bgo3rswcw24.zip if you wanted to. It is a generic RUU and is not for a specific carrier/network.
If you download the RUU .zip and not the .exe, rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" (and not PB99IM.zip.zip, the .zip is the extension and is not part of the actual filename itself)
Mount your SD card and then place the PB99IMG.zip to the root of the SD card.
Unmount the SD card and turn off the phone.
Hold down the volume down key, and press the power button once, release the vol down key when in the Bootloader screen.
You will then be asked to apply the PB99IMG.zip.
As a result, this will erase all your phone data, just like performing a hard/factory reset.
Note: if your were originally branded, you will require the use of a Gold Card also to bypass the RUU CID check. To create one, see the Gold Card tool below in my sig with a card reader or another phone.
Note: If you download one of the RUU .exe files from shipped-roms, then the rom.zip file will need to be extracted from the RUU in Windows, renamed to PB99IMG.zip, and placed to the root of the SD card (same procedure as described above).

Thanks, I will try this in the morning once I have extracted the rom.zip and renamed etc,
I will let you know how i get on fingers crossed.....(really worried)

Can't boot into Recovery Vol down + Power?

it just vibes 3 times and nothing? I can get into Rom Manager recovery but why can't I using regular method???
Rooted today using unrevoked....then load Rom manager 3.0.0.8 made recovery from that and now I can't even boot in the Vol up or down + power?

If you pressed vol + and pwr you put it into debug mode. Pull the battery and then do vol - and pwr, it should boot into the bootloader.

Same issue as the O.P.
I press PWR+VOL DOWN and get it to the screen that shows hboot, recovery, fastboot, etc.... BUT I can't access Recovery AT ALL. The VOL UP & VOL DOWN keys do absolutely nothing.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Found the fix... had to remove the p5 img from the sdcard that was used to root the HTC TB. If you don't remove it, the phone automatically tries to load it.

I'm having this problem too only I can't boot into my phone at all. I loaded nerozehl's latest kernel and can't get back into my phone. It just comes up saying "Process system is not responding." I have the radio on the root of the sdcard but don't know of any way of getting it off.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: And I just remembered that I could do adb reboot recovery. Whoops...

[Q] How To Boot Into Clockwork Recovery Without Booting Phone?

Is there a key combination from power off to boot into clockwork recovery? i dont want to boot up and then open up rom manager and select boot into clockwork recovery. thanks

Hold Camera & Power.
If your phone is already on you can run "adb reboot recovery"

Umm... no? Not sure about your phone but I've never used camera + power to boot into recovery and it surely doesn't work on my device.
OP: Vol. down + Power. Once in this screen, vol down 1 time to highlight "recovery" and hit the power button to select. CWM Recovery will then boot w/o going to the OS first.

I don't know why but volume down and power usually just boots me up. Usually I have to do trackpad volume down and power

ZenFone Go ‏(ZC500TG) Boot Loop How to fix?

Hello,
Recently I got my Device updated to last firmware, and since after all problems started to appear.
I tried to Download last firmware from the page and to manually install it but failed since mobile is not PC can't read the mobile on USB. (zip file doesn't contain recovery.img or system.img)
When I use recovery from boot screen it shows the logo and stuck
Mobile is not rooted or anything, if there's anyway to recover it, I'd be glad to hear it.

zc500tg boot loop
same problem for me after the last update
I can't enter to recovery mode. tried some combination like volume down + power , vol up + power , vol up + vol down in "no command" page but i couldn't see the recovery mode options

hey I found the solution
1. Turn off the phone, either by regular shutdown or by removing and reinserting the battery.
2. Hold volume up+power button until phone vibrates.
3. Phone should boot to Bootloader Mode. In this mode, volume up is select, volume down is "OK".
4. Using volume up, scroll to Recovery Mode and press volume down to confirm.
5. When you see the "No command." icon, hold power, and press volume up once to access Recovery Mode.
6.download the firmware zip file . place the firmware file on your microsd card and insert it to the phone.
Go to recovery mode>choose apply update from sdcards>choose the firmware you copied earlier>then wait for process completed.
If the installation completed choose reboot system firmware.
The asus logo loading will take upto 7-8mins so be patient.

I'm pretty sure he said he had updated to a later ROM, and the bootloader unlocking isn't there(last version was v39, i think).
OP, if you can, try to reboot to recovery mode, it should be able to let you connect the phone as MTP(storage).
Upload an older ROM to the phone, and then use the recovery to update it with the .zip you uploaded.
Hope it helps! Good luck!
