[Q] Booting to recovery kills the phone.

Hi guyss, I wonder if you can help me, I have recently rooted my Desire using unrevoked3, I have superusr permissions app so I think it went ok, I have also done a back up using Titanium back up, however I can't seem to access recovery mode so I can do a nandroid backup....
When I go into Recovery from boot the O2 spalsh screen comes up and the phone turns off and I can't turn it back on or get it to boot at all unless I remove the battery.
Have I done something wrong or am I missing something? It's not a really difficult procedure so I feel a bit daft here.
n00b of the highest order me thinks.
Any help/flaming/abuse appreciated quite frankly.
Great place you have here btw.

I'll give it a go.
Thinking about it, do I need to be connected to my pc to go into recovery mode?
Thanks for your help.

If not download Rom manager and let that install clockwork recovery and try again

No, you can get into recovery from anywhere - on the bus, in the garden etc etc

I have rom manager but it won't let me do anything, it tells me my SD card needs to be mounted to do anything. I used SDMount to mount my SD card but got the same response from Rom Manager so I deleted SDMount because I assumed it was poop.

Start it normally and wait for 5 minutes - are there even no SOUNDS at all ?
If you can here something, than it can mean, that you have a Desire with the SLCD screen, but you flashed something for the AMOLED screen... (just an idea though)

i have the slcd and i flash for the slcd its not the first time i do it !!

Not your first time but u pulled battery at 10th mins. Was it writing to baseband? If you are sure it wasn't then it shouldn't be bricked.
Edit: Have you tried the boot using battery pull plus ish cable method? Where you have it attached to pc pull battery quickly put back in as if you power button is broke? Or tried turning it "on" and running ruu?

I echo the opinion that the ROM couldnt have damaged the phone this way. Usually RUUs do. This seems to be more of a hardware issue and might warrant a return to HTC.
He says he's got a white screen. Bricked SLCDs usually get nothing at all (black screen) on display. And ROMS dont write to the boot, so cant brick an SLCD. If he'd S-OFFd, a boot splash might loop the device I suppose. But I'm not sure about the latter.

yeah even i got the same problem.
i brought my HTC Desire from HongKong... so i tried RRU Official roms... & then after flashi got the bootsound, the 4 buttons & the charging light is working, & phone even vibrates also but the screen is black...
may be i flashed with the Amoled version...
any solutions ???
or can anybody provide me any official roms with SLCD support...

Classic SLCD brick problem..Try this thread for trying out various solutions.
You probably flashed a very old RUU. All newer RUUs (>2.0.x) support SLCDs. So if you have a goldcard, it is only a matter of flashing another RUU, preferably a WWE version.. Check my thread above.

Bootloop desire CM 6.1 RC

Hye guys,
When i wiped my rom, backuped my current and installed the new CM 6.1 RC, i am stuck at boot-loop.
The cm mod logo just reappears, and nothing further happens.
When i press power and volume down, and choose recovery, i just get this exclamation mark with a triangle around the mark over a desire.
Anyone got a suggestion to what i can do? the led seems to work fine.
Any help would be appriciated.
cheers

I have the same. Tried loading 6.0.2 first which works well but not getting past boot on 6.1

Well that is the standard htc recovery. That is the recovery installed to your phone if you didn't install another one. So if you rooted usings pauls method, you have probably been using fake flash to access recovery. So do the following to enter your fake flash recovery:
1. when on the triangle screen hold "volume up" and press "power button"
2. use volume and power button to select "flash update.zip"
3. now clockwork mod(your normal recovery) should appear, and you can just restore your backup.
Now lets hope you didn't install it in the order you mentioned:

This way your backup will contain a couple of empty partitions.. because you would have wiped it first. I hope you were not that stupid
And a note: please don't mess with things you clearly don't have a clue about. You clearly do not know, what you are doing to your phone and are just pushing buttons according to some guide.

So you wan't HTC to take care of a problem you created by hacking your phone? Take some responsibility and if you dont know how to install roms and how they work. Just don't.(note to OP above also applies to you)
And finally sorry for being a little rough on you guys but seriously such problems could be easily solved by the individual just by reading up on the subject of rooting as the above info should be common knowledge.

[Q] messed up DHD :(

Hello Guys....
i have a really bad situation and i think it might get worse, i got my phone few weeks ago and it was running 2.3.3 later i got the OTA update to 2.3.5
then i wanted to root and found that the best tool is AAHK i downloaded and ran it and it asked for downgrade since my version is 3.13.415 and i agreed.. at the end of the process where it should update and i should hit "power to restart" didn't come up, thought there was nothing working and the menu just was still, so i tried to restart it from the menu. so i got the htc logo and it just froze there i tried to restart over and over again, yet no luck and i noticed the s-on thing and googled alot and found that i should flash a stock rom to get it running so i went to site called shipped roms and got one and tried to install it, but the installer said the rom isn't compatible or somethin....and i remmebered getting one from another rooting guied so i tried flashing it and it worked, but it took about 15 minutes for the device to boot up and the first vibe took about 10 minutes to finish but eventually it worked and the version i got on the phone was 2.2 but without arabic language "something i want" but it was okay, now i was a bit curios about the AAHK menu so i started it and it just started working :$ :S that's something i didn't want to happen but i was scared to pull the cable and it restarted to the "black screen with htc logo" and the tool saying "INFOsignature checking"...
sooooo is there any ideas about what can and should i do, how can i make everything back to normal or anythin
please make it fast, i really can't wait any longer
------------------------update-----------------
After about 20 minutes of waiting i had no nerve left for waiting so now i took the usb cable and took the battery out and re installed it and hit power and while i'm writing the update it's viberating and it just stopped and waiting for the "quitly briliant" hope it works
it did (sorry if i nag to much and keep updating with every second)
now guys i really don't want to root or s-off or anythin... i just want to get my DHD fully up and ruunin
will the OTA update fix everything (the boot-up thing ?) and i want to get arabic language installed-how to do that
please help me
thx

hello guys...
since no one replied to my post, and i'm not that patient (not blaming anyone thought)
i do want to help others and i just can't keep asking.. so i'm trying it my self and in the mean time i've hit update and the phone shut off and took it's time to start up, as usual and now i'm looking at the update screen(black background with update loge and progress bar) and now it just finished and the screen went fully black-waiting and it is taking its time-... i'll update as soon as i get anythin

Doing a software update on a rooted phone will only revert the ROM to stock one. Key is patience. There is NO WAY at all that AAHK would mess something up on its own. I know this for a fact since I have used it to root 8 other DHD's so far without any issues. If you are not sure how it works then read more. You probably pulled the usb out before AAHK finished proper the first time.

thx for ur reply
and about the AAHK actually it's not my thing in the mean time, now i just want my default DHD back (stock rom, arabic, normal boot-up)
as i said i was applying the update and now i'm stock at the updating screen (black background htc update logo with a phone under it)
i mentioned the progress bar before but it was (i think) about moving the update to the sd card
now after about hour or so i'm still stuck at the same update state, even when i removed the battery and restarted the phone i'm still back to the same screen with nothing more..... hope u can help me with anything that can make my phone boot-up again ( no matter what's the version-in the mean time-)
thx in advanced

Looks to me like you bricked your phone. Remove the battery for a few minutes and put it back in. Do NOT turn the phone on but instead hold down Volume down + Power and see if you can boot into Hboot. It should lead you to a white screen with skateboarding androids. Post here everything it says there.

i'll try to get in there, but if i have a bricked phone... is there anyway to fix it(just give me a -yes/no- answer) for now.... i'll rebort as soon as i get into the hboot screen(hopefully)
btw i removed my sd card an out it in a card reader, and i couldn't access it, do u think it got anythin to do with it ??

If you are unable to enter hboot then sadly there is no return and your phone is gone. Hold down power + vol down for as long as it takes until it hopefully takes you into hboot.

mmmmmmmm, for the SD card i was able to get back in
and i tried to enter the hboot(but my finger slipet for split second) and i'll try againg
but on the other hand... don't u think that since i'm getting to the update screen that there might be a slice of hope for me ??

Not if its constantly stuck on the update screen without any progress. Do as I said, boot into hboot holding power + vol down keys until it boots. Write what it says there. If you can't get into hboot... Game over.

As I said before, if you can't boot into hboot then sorry but I don't know of any other solution. Maybe someone else can provide better explanation, but as far as I know, if you are constantly stuck on update screen and if you can't get into hboot at all then nothing else can be done.

i found something called hard reset -i'll give it a try- do u think that it might help ? (hope it does)
this is how i found it's done.....
1) Firstly you have to turn off your device and after that hold the volume + and volume – button together.
2) Continue pressing both the buttons and after sometime hold the power button for some time.
3) Once you have pressed the three buttons you will get the message about the change in the factory settings and also to keep a backup of the data.
4) After the message is displayed leave all the buttons then press the volume + button to start with the hard reset operation.
5) After doing this the reset operation will be carried out and all the data will be permanently removed.
do u have any info about it ???

The only option of Factory Reset I know of is through hboot. And if you cant boot there then I really can't help you.
Are you sure you did it properly? Turn the phone off, remove battery for a few minutes, put it back in. Then Press POWER + VOLUME DOWN and hold for about 10-15 seconds. That should take you into hboot and from there you can see if your phone is S-OFF and do a factory reset.

I think that you are to nervous now
just pull out the battery, put it back in..
hold VOL - (minus, down) and press the power for about 3-4 sec, than release only power button.
if that don't get you to white hboot screen than nicely take the phone to your dealer and ask for waranty.. tell them that it got stuck on OTA update

Thanx Lord.

the main problem that stopping me the most is the long time that the phone takes to boot up, i mean that if i try to start the phone it will take about 10 minutes to get to the update screen where it stops there
so holding them for 15 seconds is somethin that i think will do me no good result or actually no result at all ..... do u recommend pluging the usb in/out or anythin like that..... i know that i'm asking to much from you, but please bear with me and should i move the thread to another section in this case so i can get more help.....
please stick with me a little
really thx for your help

no use of plugging/unplugging the phone...
just do what I've posted above

There is no point in connecting usb or anything else to the phone. Do as both Lord and I have said and write down what it says in the hboot once you get in. Booting into hboot is not the same as normal boot. Don't try to act smarter then people that are trying to help you.
Edit: Don't move the thread.

Stuck on loading screen :(

Hi... I have been using CyanogenMod for at while.. And it has been running great...
Then yesterday my phone started acting up, so i restarted it....
Not it gets stuck on the CyanogenMod startup screen when i turn it on...
And I can not enter bootloader, I have removed the battery, and then powered it on while holding volume down down, like I normaly do...
But i just end up on that CyanogenMod loading screen no matter what i try...
Is there another way to force it into bootloader or to force flash a new rom? (The rom i am currently on has been working fine for over a month, untill this happend)
I really hope someone has an idea... Please do ask if you need more info from me
Best Regards.

Hold your volume down before holding power button at the same time. Wait until it went into bootloader. If it is not, most probably your hardware keys is broken.

Hi... Thanks for your answer...
But that is how I have been doing it all the time...
Is there anything I can do? No way to force it into bootloader from the PC or anything?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Regards.

Looks like my volume down has broken last night
I was able to boot into bootloader using adb on the PC... So this thread can be closed
