I'm having a issue where I can't access ClockworkMod Recovery (or any other recovery, to be fair) when booting in HBOOT and selecting Recovery.
If I boot throught ROM Manager, I can go into CM like everybody else. If I try to go manually, I end up in the stock Recovery with exclamation mark.
The thing is that I made a tutorial to install CM in Desire and shared with some friends and all of them, following the same steps I made, can go into CM just by selecting Recovery in HBOOT.
Installed thru Unrevoked succefully but got the same issue.
I've tried to flash CM again thru ROM Manager several times with no luck. I can only go to CM if I use the option in ROM Manager.
I've searched a lot but I don't think I'm finding the correct key words.
Anyone has any ideas?
This is important because if I have problems with flashing some ROM and can't get into Android and ROM Manager, I won't be able to do anything without a PC.
I'm using Official SenseFroyo 1.0c from Open Desire.

You will have to flash a RUU Rom to restore recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You have forgotten one simple step.
When you choose recovery and get the red exclamation mark with a triangle, as described, you then need to press the volume down key and power at the same time. You will then have a blue text menu, choose apply update.zip to load CW recovery ( assuming you have CW recovery stored on your SD card root folder, renamed to update.zip )

Do you mean flash a RUU Rom and then flash a Custom Recovery back thru ROM Manager?
If so, is there any explanation why out of about 5 Desires rooted and with custom recovery flashed the same way, only 1 can't go into CM Recovery strait from HBOOT?
I'll try that as a last resource... If I can avoid flashing a 2.1 ROM and then a Froyo ROM back this would be nice.
Anyway, thanks for the quick help.

I already have CW installed. I just can't access it directly. Nothing happened when I pressed voldown+power while the red triangle was showing.

Sorry guys, you were right.
It turns out that dispite having using Unrevoked until it said "done", I though it would install CW directly...
Anyway, I just had to push VolUp + Power properly and managed to go into stock recovery and then flash CW.
Thanks atomfix and gekkonz for your help. I would never figure this out myself...
And that ROM Manager thing pointing out I had CW installed is really misleading, by the way...
Doh, yes vol up not vol down
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.

4. Volume down 5x. This should have you on the Nandroid option.
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?

I got some problems after using revoked last night.
I followed the guides on the forum and looked through quite a few threads about my problem but couldnt find anything about it.
I did the hboot usb driver first which worked.
Then i did the unrevoked root which i think worked, looks that way.
Now i'm following the unlocker guide on how to flash.
But the guide is not following the stuff i get.
When i press volume down and power i get into the boot loader.
I select fastboot, but then there is no option to recovery as the guide says. I do however have a recovery on the first page that loads.
if i use the first page recovery i get into a clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7
i do as the guide says, and wipe data but at that stage the screen just goes black. If i press power again i come back to the first clockwork page and nothing seems to have happened.
seems to be the same with every option i choose.
So got a few questions.
1. How can i check my phone is actually rooted.
2. As i understood it it's not possible to back up the original rom? Is this correct?
3. If it is possible how can i do it?
4. What might be the problem with the flashing, clockwork etc? Am i doing something wrong?
Hope some one can help with this as i want to test how the new android version that came out is for playing games as i'm a ceo of a new android game company
Your phone is rooted.
You can make a nandorid (Backup in recovery) now.
There is no problem you just need to use the trackpad when in recovery. Both to navigate and to confirm.
doh, thanks, had totally missed that about the trackpad ie i'm noob
Hi
I rooted my htc desire with unrevoked method and entered clockworkmode recovery and made nandbackup. After reboot my htc deisre hang with logo on boot. I can stil acces bootloader and clockworkmode recovery. Whats wrong?
This is quite common.
You can do a full wipe and restore the backup you have made.

tnx for quick reply, if i do that do i lose root i have just made with unrevoked? i rooted my htc only to remove unnecessary like wether, news etc.
No, you will keep root.
Just restore the backup through clockworkmod.

Thank you mike, it worked. Cheers.
I'll run through a history:
- Rooted my phone to S-OFF and installed a custom ROM
- Installed another custom ROM after running a 'super wipe' script
- Decided I wanted to go back, tried to get to clockworkmod recovery but I couldn't get to hboot
- Tried to re-root, got halfway and it failed. I could now get to hboot but when I get to clockworkmod recovery it shows an error logo with a danger triangle sign. When I try to boot it just stays on the HTC logo.
- The first time I tried to load Clockworkmod it said it couldn't access some /cache/ directory and now it just shows the warning icon with no error message.
I think I need to reinstall Clockworkmod, then use that to reinstall a ROM. I heard it's possible to do this by flashing a zip file from the SDcard and loading hboot. How can I do this?
Thanks!

That red triangle is HTC's recovery mode. You should manage to get root via one click root and then flash clockwork normally. In the app.
Thanks. What exactly is one click root? Have googled it but not sure which it is.
I think you might mean this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
But that seems to require that I can boot into a ROM in the first place? I can't get past the HTC logo at all.

No that is S-OFF. You need S-OFF if you want to flash custom rom. This is what I meant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Thanks again. Just to clarify, on hboot it tells me it's 'S-OFF' at the top of the screen. I should run the one click utility anyway, right?
I don't think superone click works on dhd but I could be wrong. Haven't read up on it in a long time.
But back to original question on hand. I made a guide in the general section for this exact issue. It titled stuck in hboot. Their I have a link for cwr in a pd98 format(flashable through hboot).
It should work for you. I did notice that the modelid in the txt is different but was told it should work for dhd with no modification but I have not confirmed as I have an inspire. If it doesn't work let me know and ill make the change quickly and uplaod a new one. Its a simple change. If you want to can try. Simply change the model I'd to pd98100000 from pd9812000
Thank you, I will try that now.
...And it worked! Thanks all

I have a similar problem. I tried to flash a galaxy rom on to my htc evo 4g and now my phone wont boot up. I actually need instructions on how to do this. When I try to flash recovery it goes into HBOOT and also goes into bootloader. But when I try recovery it goes to the white HTC Evo 4g screen and immediately goes back to Hboot. Iv tried to download a clockworkmod custom recovery img and flash it as a PC36IMG zip. It finds the zip and says parsing PC36IMG but doesn't ask if I want to flash it and goes back into bootloader. I renamed the recovery image "Recovery" and the Zip "PC36IMG" as instructed from a different website. I can ONLY use this method because my micro port is broken.
Also when I downloaded the recovery image there were two choices. Recovery image and recovery touch image. We should I go with?

I tell you how to over come this:
1) Throw your phone into the trash can
2) Buy a new one
3) Come back to xda
4) Read all the tutorials once again
5) Read them again
6) Re-read them
7) Now do whatever you want.
This method works perfectly for any noob...

Sorry but what are you talking about an EVO 4g in the DHD forums??...BTW, in the zip file you need a .txt file to be able to be flashed. If that file is missing then the hboot will never detect the .zip file.
Besides, if you have an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash recovery in that way. You can do it using fastboot flash commands...
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

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

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
thanks again,
ben

Do not use the power button to select items in recovery. Use the vol keys to navigate, the trackball to select, and the power button goes back.
same thing
i had the exact same thing just last week - stuck on bootloop with cyanogen 7. I tried some stuff for a little but ended up just switching to an ICS rom. which I am much happier with and would highly recommend.
right now im using ICS-Deck AOKP "Ice Cream Sandwich"

thank you for helping me out. every post helped, and i got my old faithful incredible up and running!
completely awesome.
thanks.
p.s. in recovery, pressing trackball to select, i would never have tried. amazing sometimes the simplest things can slow us down. many thanks!

Can you enter recovery? If so wipe everything in mounts and storrage except emmc and sdcard, and then restore a known good backup or flash a rom fresh. If that dosent work i would do an ruu.
Can he do a ruu from Fastboot or hboot or cwmi thought he had to be able fully boot to use ruu.

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.
if i ruu i get stuck on the red eye screen and the phone reboots.
I'm at a loss

Never pull the battery. Always use as last resort....
