Sorry for the double post, I realized afterwards this was a better place for the question
I recently followed the unrevoked guide to root my phone and put on the clockworkmod custom recovery image (for slcd http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618). Everything appeared to go smooth, unrevoked said it was a success, been using it for a few hours now and all of a sudden it wont boot sits at the htc screen, I also can't boot into recovery mode (shows a black line at the top of the screen then powers down). Its a brand new telus desire. Anyone know where i go from here to trouble shoot this/reset the device.
last thing I did was copy over a froyo rom to the sd card and try to install it using clockworks rom tools from the sd card, however that process just rebooted my phone. So i assume it didnt do anything.
Is there a way to try to reflash the recovery image without being able to boot into android?
what do you get when u hold volume down and power button? do you not get hboot screen?
if you do then not bricked
I can get to the screen, but I cannot enter recovery, when I choose recover it vibrates, htc logo comes up then powers down. I cant boot into android , cant get to the recovery screen, so Im at a bit of loss what to do next.

you need to install recovery again then, i messed mine worse then yours and sorted using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710081&postcount=2
you have to download that ISO and burn it on cd and boot the linux and follow the command as if it was the 1st time you are rooting, if step 2 does not work then skip it and see if it boots into recovery. i remember i had to play with it for a bit
I had something similar, Volume UP, then hit power? Select recovery, then wait 30 seconds, then update zip, then get it from there? Worth a try?
that wont work with the 0.83 bootloader will it ?
Anyone else have a solution?
I assume I may need to wait for a tiny linux version compatible with hboot 0.83? so that I can restore my recovery image? unless i can boot android
I cant connect in Win. because it wont boot..
How does fastboot work ? could I copy a slcd image over the microsd ( i dont have a card reader to test right now)card run fastboot, and have android boot long enough to sync windows and attempt to reapply the unrevoked recovery image?

hi if someone can help me with this it would be great i have a fully rooted htc evo i had myn rom flashed i did the back up and wipe to flash new rom and all of a sudden my phone shuts off and i get 5 vibrates while screen is black and the green light on the top of my evo is flashing i tryed to get into recovery and when i hit recovery it does the same thing screen turns black and green light flashes. when i turn my phone on normally it boots up to the rom i have installed but then after about 5min is shuts down and does the same thing anyone plz i really hope i didnt brick my beautiful evo.
You say the phone phone boots into the new rom and is fine for 5 minutes before this happens, so it's not bricked. if it was bricked, it wouldn't do anything at all.
Boot the phone normally, go get ROM Manager from the market and use it to reflash the recovery onto your phone. Then try booting into recovery again and see if you can restore your NAND or wipe and reflash the rom.
yea i had warm and like it comes up and then within 5 min the screen shuts down and vibrates 5 times ive tryed dl rom man from the market place and then an error comes up and then phone shuts down
yea i cant even dl rom manager it keeps telling me a network error has occured im lost right now

Have you singed into Google after flashing the new rom? Try doing that and also try accessing the market while you're connected on WiFi instead of 3G.
Try this...
Im assuming you can get into recovery. Clockwork or amen Ra. Wipe EVERYTHING. Then on your stock ROM sign into google and try to DL Rom manager off of the market. Once its downloaded flash a new ROM or just go to your backed up ROM....
Dont panic. Should be simple enough
yes once you get into recovery everything else should be a breeze
what if i reboot into recovery and clear storage will that work i cant dl rom manager at all and if i hit recovery it shuts the phone off and vibrates 5 times

I Think you should do this, and it saddens me it wasn't mentioned yet.
Go to the dev section of this forum and find the thread for Amon-Ra 2.3 and open that threat and download the PC36IMG.ZIP file and place it on the root of your SD card, if need be you may need a microsd card reader for your coomputer.
next, boot the phone up holding down power and volume up for fastboot. When it asks if you want to flash the PC36IMG.ZIP recovery image, hit volume up to accept.
now try and boot into recovery again and see what happens.
btw, since I am nice, here is that thread you need.

If it didn't ask you if you wanted to update, then the file is named incorrectly or it is not on the root of your SD card. Make sure the PC36IMG file is not inside an folders. Also, make sure you did not add .zip to the end because if you did, the file is now named PC36IMG.zip.zip and your phone won't recognize it.
You can also name the file "update.zip" and then look for the option in recovery to flash update.zip and do it that way. Again, file must be in the root of your SD card and not in any folders.
sry about all this bro im kinda new with this and im learning and ty soo much for helping me out if i had a damn cell phone id just have you call me hahaha and walk me through it your deff getting the ty button if you can help me get my evo back ill donate like 20 bucks lol
should i unzip the files in the zip folder or put the whole zipped folder on the root of my sd card
just but the zip on your sd card do not extract it...
curious if this worked for him...
no i cant seem to get this to work i did everything that was told of me to do and still nothing when i hold down the volume button and power button to boot into recovery and i hit recovery it goes to the htc white screen and then all of a sudden my phones screen turns black and vibrates 5 times and in the top left hand corner the green light will flash and keep flashing and in order to restart my phone i have to pull the battery i cant just power it down
Having a similar problem too, keeps doing a boot loop, in the bootloader (clockworkmod) i cant get into recovery, tried many different pc36img.zip files to no avail. Mine gets to the 'htc EVO 4g' screen, holds a few seconds, then reboots, shows the white screen and reboots again, continues until i pull battery.
Trying more and more img.zips, hopefully i can find the right one to atleast get back to stock.

Just download the RUU. That will get you back to stock, but then you would need to re-root.
i tryed that but it came up error that my usb cord was not connected to my pc make sure its connected to phone and pc
Without using adb, I think running the ruu and starting over is your best bet.
i am new to the forum and i am looking for some help i have a htc desire unbranded and it is stuck on the htc splash screen it is on hboot 0.93 and i have tried downgrading but it keeps coming up main version is older i can get into fast boot but not recovery i have been reading a lot of threads but cannot figure it all out as there is so much information i'm chasing my tail tail lol if anybody can help me i will be very grateful.
Why are you trying to downgrade? You could use an RUU as a quick fix but it will wipe everything. You haven't given any details of what you tried to do or are wanting to do.
i believe i have to downgrade to hboot 0.83 to get the phone to work but im not sure i have tried a lot of ruu's but cant seem to find the right one i'm very confused by it all to be honest i'm stuck as to what to do
It would also be helpful, if you used a little bit more correct grammer (putting punctuation between each sentence) as much as possible. Some of us, can't understand what you're talking about. This isn't FB or an sms
Also, it would help. if you said exactly what you did, and how you got into this situation. Ie; flashes, etc.
For example, are you rooted? Were you trying to flash a custom ROM?
htc stuck on boot up
Sorry i am not the greatest writer. I was on 2.1 and upgraded ota to 2.2.then the phone started resetting itself. before not booting altogether.i am currently on rom image 2.29.405 hboot 0.93 .and thats as far as i know.
htc stuck on boot up
The phone just hangs on the white htc screen.and wont go into recovery.
First of all, you have a desire. Before running any update, you need to create a Gold Card. It's not specific to "all" desires. But, better safe than sorry.
http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card
To boot into recovery the manual way, turn phone off.
Hold volume down, and press the power button.
This should boot to recovery.
If you get the Triangle, with exclamation mark,
press Vol Up + Power
This will bring you to another recovery menu where you can : Reboot , Flash from sd , Wipe Data/factory ,Wipe Cache
If you can recover the system, I highly suggest creating the Gold Card.
And one more note, if you decide to flash to a stock RUU, I highly recommend wiping all cache memories before flashing. Yeah, I know they will tell you that it's not necessary, but hey, I believe in overkill.
htc stuck on boot up
That's the thing it wont go into recovery, I can go into boot loader and fast boot but when i press up and power it goes back to the htc screen and hangs there again, i have tried a ruu which seemed to be successfull but it still hangs on the htc screen and will go no further.
If you can't get into any type of recovery, just how are you able to flash?
Bear with my stupidity here.
Without a menu system in any type of recovery, I am at a loss.
However, I have heard, that, some people put their phones in the freezer for several minutes. And that the phone would boot. Enogh where they col=uld goto recovery, and fix what they messed up.
Now, I would suspect it;s because the processor was overheating during boot. Probably because cache memories weren't wiped before flashing, and crap got all messed up.
Normally, I would never suggest this. And you do this at your own risk. So if it's messed up beyond repair, please, do not blame me,
htc stuck on boot up
I went into fastboot usb then ran the 2.29.405 ruu which completed successfully,i even extracted the pb99img.zip file and updated that way but still no luck,ill throw it in the freezer for 5 and give it a whirl, who knows might work. and thank you
The freezer thing, is a last ditch effort. And it is only a temporary thing. 15 minutes max. Maybe enough to allow you to clear caches and flash.
I have run out of expertise. So, I have nothing more to offer...
OK so I need some serious help. I'm not a total n00b but I'm still fairly new to the rooting world.
I recently rooted my dinc and installed the new cyanmogen 7 to bring it to gingerbread. I had let my sister use my updated phone because she has a dinc too and was considering doing the same.
She was messing around with it and downloaded something from the marketplace and when she ran it the entire phone shut off. I don't know what she installed and when asked she doesn't know either. When I boot the phone it stays at the htc boot screen and will not go any further. I've tried a recovery which all the forum topics tell me to do and unfortunately it doesn't give me the option to load anything from my sd card. The only menu options under recovery are: Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader and power down.
When I plug my phone in my Windows 7 comp it isn't found as a drive and only shows up under device manager. If it makes a difference I rooted using unrevoked3. I'm not sure what I can do at this point. Please keep in mind that although I'm not 100% new at this I'm still really unfamiliar with it all.
What can I do to get my phone working properly again? I don't care if its from a factory reset I just need to get it working.
Thanks!
The white screen with your device info is not the recovery menu, it's the Bootloader/HBOOT menu. Select Bootloader from that menu and you will be given an option to reboot into recovery, most likely ClockworkMod Recovery. Once there you should be able to restore from a backup or reinstall Cyanogen 7.0.
If you cannot boot into recovery download the latest OTA update here. Rename it to "PB31IMG.zip" and put it on your SDcard. Reboot into the bootloader and it will detect the PB31IMG update and press Volume Up to apply it.
You'll need to root your phone again after this, though.
thank you!!
it worked perfectly...thanks!!!!!!!!
Glad to hear it!
So I flashed the "Synergy" rom and noticed that I didnt have the 3d carousel effect after letting the rom run for 2 days. I then noticed another download for the rom with the 3d effect. After flashing that rom I am now stuck on the splash screen. I can also no longer boot into recovery. I am able to access the bootloader but that's it. I cant access nothing on my phone.
Find it odd that you cannot get into Recovery. Are you pulling battery, then holding power and down key?
Yep... Ive pulled the battery several times, and tried accessing the recovery by holding power and the down button.. All it does is restart at the splash screen and stays..
Did you wipe prior to flashing ? Never had that issue so what happens when you click on recovery in the boot loader.
You said in the first post that you can access the boatloader, but in your next post, you say starting your phone with vol down and power takes you to your splash screen... this is an important piece of info for me/us to know in order to help, give advice.
If it goes to the boatloader, try reflashing a custom recovery. If it's going straight to your splash screen, that is a result of " fastboot" being enabled in the settings menu, and you're holding your phone wrong and have to wait longer ( up to 10 minutes) as it can take a while to build the dalvik cache and set up the symlinks.
Tower, this is SkyRaider requesting a fly-by...
Flash a custom recovery pc36img.zip in bootloader. When done boot into recovery and factory wipe. Then partition your sd with 1024mb ext2, move ext2 to ext3. Flash synergy and u should be good. Backup ur sdcard before partitioning it.

It's one of two things... bad wipe or user is just impatient and isn't used to the longer initial boot time of the sense 3.0 roms, so panic sets in after 2 minutes of boot

Ok here's my process fellas and this is whats happening (or not happening). Phone is stuck on the SPLASH screen. I can hold the volume down button and power and get into the bootloader. Here's what Ive tried so far thats not working for me. Trying to go into recovery through the bootloader takes me back to a stuck SPLASH screen. Ive installed a PC36IMG.zip (Custom recovery) and when the HBoot looks for the file it doesnt see it. The file doesnt have zip.zip as the extension and the MD5checksum was good on the file. When I installed the rom I did do a full wipe and when i hit restore it took me to my SPLASH screen and stayed there longer than 10 minutes. I flashed plenty of roms and this is the 1st time ive been at this point where im unable to boot my phone. I suspect the recovery is broken
and as of now, there is no other way (that i know of now) for me to load a custom one into my phone.
I also tried to push the file via adb and when entering the command adb shell, i get a device cannot be found message.
Hope this helps you guys help me.
I'm now having the same problem with my Thunderbolt. I need some major help. I can boot into bootloader, but not recovery because I have a p50IMG.zip on my sd card...so it just scans it and asks to install...how do I get it off of the card?
Hi,
I rooted my phone about a year ago and recently wanted to update it and try a new ROM. Since I have no idea what the compatibility of of my old ROM I made a NAND backup then I reset it to the factory RUU version 3.29.651.5 and my phone was back to normal in the boot loader S was set as S-on.
I then proceeded to use the autoroot v2.5 in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448. In the cmd prompt it said it was flashing the firmware, then said it was waiting for the device to boot up; however, the device did not boot up, I waited for approx 60 min and it was stuck on a black screen with the HTC logo in the middle and a small warning (triangle with exclamation point) in each corner. Now, it is permanently stuck on that screen. Even if I try to hold the volume down to get to the boot loader when it starts, it still goes to this screen.
What can I do to try to get out of this? I cant go back to my recovery to get my backup.
Thanks

The first time I tried to Root my phone, I had the same problem with Toasts Root method. That's stock Recovery you're seeing.
I ended up having to use Unrevoked Linux version and swore I would never unroot again, and I haven't.
I've tried using unrevoked and several other methods. The problem is I think most of them rely on the phone being on with USB debugging enabled. I unfortunately can't get there. The one ray of hope I have is that the device is recognized in my device manager as "Android USB device - HTC bootloader". Is there any other way I could fix this?

Are you holding power and volume down at the same time. Sounds like you are just holding volume. When you get to the bootloader I'd you see s-off all you will need to do is flash a PC36IMG of the recovery of your choice(I recommend twrp). Good luck!

Also, no need to unroot for any rom. Once you are rooted you can flash anything you want. Compatibility wise, you may need to update a radio but that is just flashed in recovery.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am holding power and volume down. Powering it on normally and powering it on while holding volume down both go to the same screen.
