I have successfully rooted my Telus desire (Superuser app is available) , however everytime I try to flash a custom rom with rom manager it hangs when booting into recovery.
I get the HTC boot screen then a black bar appears at the top then the device shuts off. The only way to get it back is to remove the battery.
The first time I flashed just the regular unrevoked clockwork recovery but if I booted into recovery with that one I would have to clear storage to even get it to boot up again.
I just flashed Amon RA's and while I get the same black bar problem I still cant' boot into recovery.
I have tried to install older kernels and amon ra to no avail.
Please help!
Thanks!
I'm also thinking maybe I need to reflash back to stock and then try re-rooting again. I can't find a Telus stock rom as it is so new, can I flash any other carrier's?
Edit: it even freezes when I run unrevoked again, it goes through the process, says its done but the phone freezes.
I know exactly what your problem is. It's not that you are unable to boot into recovery, but that you cannot see the recovery options because you flash a clockwork recovery ROM that has no SLCD support.
I had this exact same problem. You can try the following steps. Leave the phone unplugged via USB as it may throw off the timing:
1. Hold volume down, then press and hold power for 5 seconds. This will get you to the HBOOT menu.
2. Wait 20 seconds so that the phone can complete the SD card check.
3. Press volume down once, then press the power button. This will select the Recovery option.
4. Volume down 5x. This should have you on the Nandroid option.
5. Optical button in. I'll call this 'enter' for the time being.
6. Volume down once, and press enter. This will select the Restore option.
7. Enter again to select the Nandroid restore point previously created by unrevoked3.
8. Volume down 7x and enter to confirm restoration.
9. Wait 7 minutes (I timed this) for the copying to complete, and press enter to reboot.
If all goes according to plan, this will have restored your original Telus ROM.
Now, to set up your Telus Desire properly:
1. Connect your phone to PC in mass storage mode or use a MicroSD reader. Download ROM and radio .zip to root directory of your SD card. DO NOT run unrevoked3 yet. DO NOT use the OpenDesire ROMs that are current at time of writing. They do not support SLCD at this time.
2. Download SLCD-specific recovery img from hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618
3. Open unrevoked3, direct the program to use the image you just downloaded, and connect your Desire.
4. After some time, the phone will reboot into recovery mode.
5. Wipe the device
6. Use the update from .zip option to select ROM. After that's done, do the same with the radio zip file.
7. Reboot and you should boot properly into your new ROM.
YOU MUST use the updated SLCD Clockwork Recovery.
YOU MUSTN'T use ROM Manager from the Market. The recovery file it automatically downloads does not support SLCD.
Thank you so much that makes sense.
Its weird because other people with the Telus Desire have been able to flash leeroid. I failed your instructions the first time, but I will try again and keep you updated.
Thanks!!
I don't have a Desire but allow me to ask: If the phone is rooted (and boots up properly otherwise) but just has an inaccessible recovery, can you use flash_image to flash the recovery with SLCD support? This would reduce the bumbling-around-on-a-blank-screen factor.

This is what I did and I got it to work somehow.
What I did was I flashed the custom image, then it still didn't work.
Then I flashed the clockwork image from rom manager and then it worked for some reason!
Thanks guys, weird though!
Did you root your Telus Desire with these steps? I did and no problems at all!

No I didn't, thats why I had a problem, I solved it though with that custom recovery after all.
I HAVE A NEW PROBLEM THOUGH GUYS.
I partitioned my SD card through rom manager and now when I boot with the two partitions it stays stuck on the HTC boot screen. I removed the SD card and it booted fine, i erased my ext3 partition in windows and now it boots but I wanted to reinstall froyo with a2sd+ .
Also, I now get a triangle when I try to do things in rom manager saying that the update.zip can't be found.
This program is really pissing me off.
Help!
what i did that i think worked, was boot into fastboot,
Then through the android sdk fast boot
just pushed the SLCD recovery (renamed to recovery.img)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reboot bootloader
then go to recovery
it should work, it worked for me
THanks for the reply,
I'm all good.
Reflashed the custom image and all is well.

am I doing the above #4 on the white HTC screen? becausethat's what comes up after I select recovery option?
Don't bother with those steps. Just re-root with the custom SLCD image with unrevoked.
Thank you !

is there a fix to prevent this from happening?
i can randomly get into my recovery (it is the proper SLCD recovery image)
and i can install cyanogens rom.
however as soon, as i reboot or for example wipe my battery stats in the recovery, my phone just sticks at the HTC screen
Hi,
I fixed this problem when I reinstalled the Flash CloclworkMod Recovery in ROM Manager.

This is what happens to me as well. I dont know what Telus is but im on 3 (uk) with hboot 0.83 slcd.
this sticking at the htc screen has only started for me since i first wiped battery stats....although i was only running for 2 days previous it worked and rebooted fine before this wipe and now it is sporidic to say the least.
When i boot up with power+vol down, it checks my sd card and says something like cannot find img.
If i remove my sd card after it hangs and reboot, i can get past the htc screen everytime.
Perhaps the "wipe battery stats" option is broken on Telus Desires. What if it's looking to wipe some particular values in memory but it hits the wrong one?

Any chance for you to explain that a bit better? Not sure what you mean there. :/
Flash the file...then go into recovery to reflash a rom? Is that what you did?
After flashing the pb99img file, can you boot into recovery every time without that white screen of death?

Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I just updated my phone to the latest OTA Rooted ROM and everything was working fine. Then I used Rom Manager to download the latest Fresh 3.0.?? ROM. When it downloaded it asked if I wanted to backup ROM and wipe data. I checked both on. Then phone rebooted and it wont get past white HTC Evo4G screen. I did vol down and power and I go to Recovey and again it freezes on this screen. I cant access my sd card to put any recovery stuff on the phone. How do I get past this?? This sucks

I had the same issue this morning loading the new Fresh Rom. "Stuck at White HTC EVO" screen. Just do a battery pull to restart your phone and let it boot up normally. It should be able to load after that.
Thanks a lot fuzion. I could have sworn I tried that last night but I guess I didn't. So I guess no Fresh ROM ?? Anyway to get it on ?
You could try loading one of the PC36IMG zips on your sd using an adapter to go back to stock and start over
Well I got my phone back on and working with the 2.2 OTA rooted back the way it was. I go into ROM manager and I made sure to do the ClockworkMod Recovery install. When I turn on the phone with vol down + power I select Recovery it just freezes on the Evo 4g screen. Never takes me to the recovery menu like I used to have. Anyone have any idea why??
Let's do a checklist:
1. Full root including NAND unlock (i.e. NOT Unrevoked)?
2. Installed and re-installed latest ROM Manager, and then latest CWM?
3. Copied Fresh 3.1.0.1 to root of SD card?
4. Booted into recovery using either CWM option or power+volume up?
5. You don't have an old PC36IMG.zip on your SD card, do you?
6. If you can get into recovery, do all your flashing from there, and DON'T FORGET to do data, cache, and dalvik wipes.
7. If all else fails, maybe use CWM to flash Amon RA instead and try that way.
8. If all THAT fails, go back to toast's guides and re-root everything.
Other long shots: Install Titanium Backup and use that to install BusyBox. I have no idea if this would help, maybe it's totally unrelated. Also, you could use an app called Quick Boot to reboot into recovery, but if selecting the reboot option from CWM doesn't work, I don't know why QB would.
And one more thing: Don't be throwing the term "bricked" around when you're clearly not even close to bricked.
Guys, I need some help from you.
I already tried to search the tread but can't found the information I would like to get.
I tried to update my Desire rom following step on this page "(h)ttp://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-desire/" (note I already rooted my phone, and sorry I'm new member can't post the link correctly). Everything went well till step 7. Select Apply sdcard:update.zip.... then it fail to update. So, I rebooted my desire then it can't boot up to main screen (HTC Sense). So, I entered boot loader once again and selected Recovery mode. Now, it stuck at HTC white screen and doesn't go anywhere further than that.
I guess what cause this is "I didn't change the name of recovery package in step 1" so I might break some data? (please correct me if I'm wrong)
If this the case how should I fix it? Is there any suggestion?
Thank you in Advance
Now, I'm trying to flash RUU via fastboot. The process went well. However, after complete flash, it still can't boot to main screen. Will it help if I try to flash another RUU?

Try unrEVOked, it will install a recovery image to your phone. Then enter recovery mode, it will be Clockworkmod then you choose install zip from SD card, browse until the .zip file and select it. Note that in clockworkmod you navigate with the trackball and select by pressing on the trackball.

I can confirm, that this should fix your problem.
I had the exact issue as you last night, but managed to finally fix it by using the unrevoked software to get recovery, then erasing cache, then flashing a new rom.

How can I use unrEVOked methode? I'm trying it and now stuck by the fact that I can't boot into Android right now. unrEVOked is asked me to enable USB debugging but I can't... Is there any way to perfrom unrEVOked without booting into Android?
Tried other RUU including Froyo one but still no hope...
hello all, my first post.
I have incredible, rooted, with cyanogenmod 7. it has been working as normal for months and months. the other day, it just got stuck in the boot animation. i hadn't changed anything, system tweaks, etc, right before this.
i hold volume down and press power, and it goes to bootloader mode. normally here, i can select RECOVERY, and then goes to the black screen, where i could do many things, drastic as wipe the phone, reinstall cyanogenmod, g-apps, etc.
whats my problem now, is that when i hold power down and power and get to the white recovery screen, if i select RECOVERY, it doesnt go where it used to. it goes to the OTHER white screen where choices are, REBOOT, POWER DOWN, etc. So i select to go into recovery mode (the black screen) but it never goes there now. Always did before. Just goes to that next white screen, letting me reboot and start the cycle over again. I've tried with no SC card, no difference.
I found a post someone giving specific directions to format sd card, put radio update only on card, and boot with that in phone. I did, and it successfully said it updated, but still nothing has changed.
I cant get into recovery mode, to reformat, wipe, run any updates, nothing. I've tried so many times i can't even guess. I think it has become a brick. But I finally posted here hoping i may find some advice.
Anyone have any ideas of what i can do, if i can get into recovery mode?
if this helps, this all the info on the white screen - holding power down and powering on:
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICORP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.0000

S-off is security off. It allows you to flash images not signed by HTC. At the top of the hboot screen it should say either s-on or s-off. If it let tou flash cwm recovery you are s-off.
Yes enter recovery, wipe everything in mounts and storage and either flash a stock ruu thru hboot, or flash a rom of your choosing. Do not choose aply update.zip choose install from sdcard, and select your roms zip file.
I would also flash a new radio thru hboot, as i have never seen that version of radio for the incredible. http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios.

ok, so here's where I'm at now:
updated radio via hboot via last link posted. i can now get to recovery screen, which is awesome, but - i can select any of the options and select one, and then it goes to a black screen with the ROM manager hat logo, with a yellow arrow under it. The arrow does not move or rotate, as if it was processing my command. it just sits idle on that logo forever.
i can hit power to go back to the recovery menu, and selecting nothing, well, does anything!
any ideas? just far your replies have gotten me past the loop i was in, so i eagerly hope there's more input for me now as to why none of the options in recovery screen process when i select them, they just go to a logo with the hat and an arrow (remember, the arrow isn't moving at all).
btw its ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0

p.s. - my updated radio is 2.05.00.06.11 now, if that is important.

He can do a PB31IMG.zip ruu through hboot. To do the ruu.exe with a pc you need to be able to boot to enable usb debuging i think.
i was able to do all the listed in this thread. but after 2 days of searching i still can't find a good solution for formatting /data, I get an error everytime and cm7 is the only rom that I can boot on my dinc. however when i think i have fresh flash, some of my old apps are still there.

Hello All.
This is the first time I have tried to put a custom ROM on an HTC so I am still learning the ropes.
I tried to follow the instructions in the first post. So... In sequence, this is what I did...
HTC One X unlocked with htcdev.com (S-ON) or S-OFF (coming soon)
This seemed to go without a hitch. On the HBoot screen (I think that is what it is called) it tells me I am now unlocked.
ClockworkMod Recovery or 4EXT Touch Recovery (coming soon)
I installed the official version as per the instructions here.
The last instruction that seemed to work successfully was this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
Then I tried
Code:
fastboot reboot
which put me into recovery mode.
<EDIT> The instructions here have now been corrected to:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
</EDIT>
Choosing the reboot option from recovery just bounces me back into recovery mode but I understand from the instructions I should be able to boot into a working phone!
Has something gone wrong?
If I use the volume down + power button I can enter HBoot mode. From here I can select Fastboot. Connecting via USB to my computer seems to work fine, as I see Fastboot USB on my phone, and I when I execute this...
Code:
fastboot devices
I get something like this
Code:
List of devices attached
HTXXXXXXXXXX device
I am now unsure how to continue because I think something has gone wrong and I should have a working phone at this point.
Do I press ahead and try to install the Firmware package from here? Unless this lets me boot into a working phone (which I don’t believe it will), it still leaves me with the problem that for a One X, without a removable SD card I don’t know how to transfer and run the "Super Wipe" script, nor transfer and flash Android Revolution ROM via recovery.
Do I need to do something with
Code:
fastboot flash
?
Please help as she is threatening to dump me for destroying her 2-day-old phone.
It's
Code:
fastboot flash [B]recovery[/B] recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img

Solution for you is to go into bootloader, flash recovery with the command i gave you and then reboot into recovery and install the rom..
After that everything should be ok and your phone will boot into ARHD without any problem.

You don't need to flash any RUU or firmware unless your phone wasn't shipped with 1.26, which i don't think it was.
Just try flashing the recovery with the correct command and then the rom. If your phone doesn't boot after that then you may try the firmware but i'm sure you won't need it.

So, I understand that you are telling me:
Flashing CWM recovery will rectify my current problem and restore my phone to a workable state.
Booted normally, I can copy the ARHD ROM to the internal SD (not sure what the location for this will be).
I then reboot into recovery and 'Install Zip from SD card'.

Good advice, I am sure. However my problem now is getting into a working phone so that I can transfer the ROM onto the internal SD.

what you have done is replaced your boot sector with a recovery image, that is the reason why you cant boot your phone as normal so even flashing the recovery correctly will not allow your phone to boot up.
as your phone cannot boot up you cannot transfer any files to the internal memory of your phone in order to flash ARHD
at present there is a problem with the official version of ClockworkMod Recovery so i personally would reccommend using the interim version HERE
and flash with fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-endeavoru.img
As you have [email protected]$ked your boot partition up you will also want to download THIS
this is an insecure boot image (thanks to paul from modaco) I have just extracted the part you will need from his package
with this you will need to be in fastboot again and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
obviously you will need to copy both of the files to the same directory as fastboot is on your PC in order to send them
by flashing the boot section with the insecure boot here it will allow your phone to boot up normally again, once it has booted normally you can then copy the ARHD and superwipe to your internal SD card
to access recovery
power off phone by holding power button for 10seconds
power on with power+voldown
select recovery from hboot screen with voldown then power to select
your phone will reboot and then you will be in recovery
do a nandroid backup incase anything goes wrong
then flash the superwipe script
then flash ARHD 1.2.2
all is good

You are correct of course, however, there comes a point where the only way to learn is to actually do something. I have flashed numerous ROMS on my Galaxy S, and before doing this I have read numerous guides trying to better understand the procedures for HTC devices.
I have tried to follow what appeared to be a step-by-step guide, however, either there has been a malfunction, or it appears there may be two important bits of information missing from that guide:
Flashing CWM recovery leaves the phone in a state that it won't boot normally, and consequently...
The ARHD ROM should be loaded onto the internal SD at the very beginning of the procedure

Thanks all of you so much for your effort. It's much appreciated.

@bagofcrap24 I may have misled you with a typo in the first post. (See my edit)
d'oh
edit : just read updated info
so what happens when you choose recovery and press power from the hboot screen
i'm understanding that when doing a normal reboot it just sends you straight into hboot?
power on with voldown
press voldown to select recovery
press power to select recovery
you should either see CWM or the stock recovery
again looking at what you have written, if you just do a normal reboot and its putting you straight into recovery then you probably have flashed recovery onto the boot partition

I'll get back to you with some definitive answers in 3 hours or so. Sorry, I'm at work now.

I get a circular yellow 'recycling' symbol, followed a few seconds later by a magenta triangle with an exclamation mark. (Is this the stock recovery?). Then the phone restarts and I end up back in the Clockworkmod recovery.

No. A normal reboot (without holding the Vol down key) sends me straight to clockworkmod recovery.
I can get to HBoot with Vol down+Power on startup.

Right this means you did mess up the boot and recovery partitions, the one where you have the exclamation mark is the stock recovery which means you didn't flash cwm to the recovery partition.
the fact that you get to recovery on a normal boot also suggests as I suspected that you have flashed recovery on to the boot partition, follow the instructions I put up earlier about flashing the boot.IMG and redo the recovery.IMG and you should be fine

Your analysis is quite correct. All is indeed good! Thanks very much. The boot image worked as described. I will now transfer Superwipe and the ROM.
Make sure you do a nandroid backup first, it was lucky this time but if you mess up your system partition you may find yourself with no way of putting files on without unrooting and restoring the ruu

Done!
Everything worked as you said it would.

Thanks again

Glad you fixed it and sorry for being a bit harsh earlier.. was having a bad day
i just rooted with s on and i flashed a custom recovery then rebooted. htc logo came up, and then a black screen its been like an hour with the black screen and it wont boot. i know that normally its takes a long time to boot a fresh rom but this is ridiculous. and i made sure that i flashed a cdma rom marvelc. what do i do!!
i can still boot into the boot loader though
Dude im no expert in HTC phones but you had to turn s-off when rooting your phone. If you made a nandroid backup your in luck reflash your stock rom back and this time root with s-off and enjoy flashing plz hit the thanks button if i helped.

Boot into hboot with volume down + power. Scroll down to recovery and push power to enter it. All going well you should go into your recovery. If you get a red triangle with an ! Then you still have the stock recovery.
OK now scroll down and make a back UP!!! After that factory reset the device, wipe cache, dalvik cache. Data. Everything aside from your sdcard. Then reboot the device. This should get your device operational again. Reboot should take no longer than 15 minutes.
After that choose a custom rom to flash, or just go about setting up the phone as you want.
When you go to flash a new rom make sure you back up first, then wipe everything bar SD card. Then install the rom and reboot.
Good luck pal

actually when i was rooting the recovery wasnt working for me the tool tried to made me go into recovery but i was stuck at the htc logo. but the tool also offered to install twrp or clockworkmod i installed clock and still wont stuck at the htc logo so i tried twrp and it worked and then i got rooted.
i think i might be twrp that doesnt install roms right.
also i installed a rom it worked but no wifi and wifi was the most important tool for me so the rom is ussless to me

Thank you you for replying but I did some experimenting around and I found out that the clockwork mod was a marvel recovery
I have a marvelc wildfire so I went to rezo609 folder and found the recovery img and replaced it with a clockwork marvelc img.
Then I opened the prompt selected install clockwork mod, it installed
Then I went to recovery, worked and installed the cm9 rom (marvelc) and gapps and It successfully worked
You were probably right its beta so it has some bugs
But thank you all who tried to help me I really appreciate it
Sorry I just started so I deleted the URL
no problem buddy always happy to help.
