[Q] Unable to boot into recovery - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
First time user with a desire on the telus network. I was referred to this site through a friend who did the froyo upgrade to his phone.
I have been working all day at figuring out how to root my phone and have had little luck getting any tutorial to work.
most recently I have use the linux version and the windows version of unrevoked and both go through the whole process and say done but leave my phone turned off and to the point that I have to pull the battery to get it on again. When I enter recovery mode and selected recovery the phone flashes the white screen with the HTC logo and then right to black. Previously in the day it would allow me to go to the black screen and allow me to flash the update files.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction.
cheers

are you pushing the lock button in recovery mode or the optical trackpad?
Sometimes people are not intelligent enough and cant flash a phone because they dont read the details in tutorials (--->ME<---)

htc desire stuck on red triangle exclamation mark

Tried to do a battery rest as per the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755903
I think i did something wrong.
Phone is currently stuck on a screen with a picture of a phone with a red triangle with an exclamation mark.
What do i do?
You're in recovery, press vol up and power and you get a small menu where you can select to apply the clockwordmod update.zip to reset your battery stats (assuming you're rooted)
Thanks so much. I thought something went horribly wrong.
My phone wasnt rooted, so i guess i shouldnt have even tried to reset the battery stats.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
A long time ago, I believe I updated my HTC Hero with a custom ROM.
I currently have
- 2.1-update1
- SW: 3.32.405.2
I just sold the phone and tried to bring it back to factory settings.
But I can't.
It won't re-initialize and I can't even delete my GMAIL account.
In short, I don't care which version is installed, I just want the phone to be updated with an official ROM, so that its new owner can turn it on and configure it as if it was knew.
The phone is NOT rooted.
If anyone has a hint, I will consider it my XMas present.
Thanks a lot!

Either wipe it from recovery or use a RUU http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...io_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.11_release_signed.exe
Look it up, it's easy.

Mine is doing this too,
I tried rooting during the downgrade process (Because I had gingerbread) next thing that happened was when it would start up, it would take a very long time for the white htc screen to show up, and would vibrate (constantly) for 2 full minutes. the white htc screen would then show "quietly brilliant" under the logo and boot. but now it's going to the phone with red exclamation mark in a triangle. Phone is not rooted, hit power and volume up, went to update zip, told me invalid...
what's next?
*edit*
p.s. htc inspire 4g.
also before black screen w/ triangle I ran hack-ACE to put stock ruu back.
restarted again, and now it's usuable, but still does the looooong boot up.
No touch Screen Sensation
Hi forum I am in desperate need of some help. I have an HTC Sensation with a non responsive screen. There was a software update I believe on the forum that claims to resolve this problem. I want to try an upgrade or something hoping my screen issue can be resolved. My problem is how can I upgrade a stock ICS firmware without the use of the touch screen or touch buttons. Or even root the phone from the boot screen.
Second question can I load my external sd card in another Android phone like to load the software on it and then insert it into the Sensation and then linstall it from the boot screen?
Thanks for your help

[Q] G2 stuck at HTC screen.

Hey guys, I tried to perma root my wife's G2 last night using Visionary+ r14 but when it tried to reboot it doesn't get past the green and white "HTC" screen, so now I have a couple of questions.
I bought this phone from someone off of Craigslist and it was working great until I tried to root it so it is technically out of warranty do you think I can get it replaced since everything is still stock?
Also I tried to apply the HTC OTA update to fix it and I still have the problem, is there anything I can do to repair this phone? Thanks in advance guys and mahalo!
Okay pull your battery out and put it back in..after dat press power button and volume down button until you get to the recovery screen and do a factory reset..

I haven't tried it because I can't get ADB to work with the phone the way it is, Fastboot works but ADB just shows nothing there while I'm in recovery or the boot screen. Thank you also for the reply. My wife is pissed lol.
Try to extract the ROM from the official RUU and rename it to PC10IMG.zip. Put this on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader and leave it to work. This should solve your problem Fingers Crossed
JD
do you have s-off??
I don't have S-OFF as I just started the rooting procedure when it decided to take a dump on me, after this I don't think my wife will want me to root any more of her phones although I know she'll miss it after having a rooted G1 running CM and a rooted Slide running Chromatic. Good thing I didn't sell her Slide yet lol.
I'll try to find information on the PC10IMG.zip method now and see what can be done.
Thank you guys for all the help, I really appreciate it all.

I think the rooting process has corrupted your kernel or rom, it is rare to get a brick from just the visionary process, but i know there has at least been one that this has happened to.
Report back to tell us if the extracted ROM worked for you, there is still hope;')
JD
Oh man this is just getting worse lol. I had the phone sitting here plugged into my laptop while the phone was in the Hboot screen where you can select Fastboot, Recovery and so on. All of a sudden my here Windows give off the noise as if something was connected or disconnected from my computer and I see the screen shut off on the G2 with a red light blinking. Now the phone doesn't power on and the red light blinks while the phone is plugged into the computer but doesn't power on.
As I was typing this the red light came on solid as if it is charging now, maybe it doesn't charge while in that screen and the battery just died I dunno, strange.

Well I called T-Mobile and they are sending out a new phone, I'm unsure if I should still mess with it or not. I did flash the TMOUSA OTA update and that didn't help, I didn't unpack it to see if it contained a new Kernel but I'm sure it had a new system.img, still think it is one of those that is messed up?
I'm having a hard time finding the things to get the PC10IMG.zip going, work is calling me in different directions and my A.D.D is kicking in lol.
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764 i had the same problem like you, steviewevie told me to do it, if you have problem to connect your g2 with sdk download pda net, it works for me and now i have my g2 back with the new root... just do what it said on that link believe me works...
P.D. I am a androidnoober always have a iphone and this was my first time using sdk adb or whatever name is and I did it
Thanks AndroidNoober, I've seen that link in my search for an answer to my problem. One of the issues that is making this harder is that after the phone "bricked" it lost ADB connectivity. I've tried it on two computers that have a properly working ADB (I test it with my N1 and 3G Slide) and it used to work with the G2 but now I can't get it to see the phone, I've heard Recovery has ADB blocked.
semi bricked attempting permaroot
i attempted permaroot and semi bricked my phone. will not boot past htc screen. i can't get adb to work. i am trying to get pdanet installed but it keeps getting stuck on installing on phone. can it install while phone is in recovery mode? i have had no sucess trying to figure this out on my own and phone is not covered with a warranty
i have gotten the phone to read an update.zip file.
it is reading the pc10img.zip as well.
now i just have to get past the htc screen.
i do have s-on as i had just started the process.
any help would be appreciated

[Q] Please help :(

Ok i'll start at the beginning. i've had a HTC One X since launch i've never bothered with the Custom roms before but i had some time on my hands today and thought i would give it a go. and everything went wrong.
i downloaded a called "One X All-in-one kit v2.2" and followed the instructions. i managed to get my bootloader unlocked with out much bother and then i decided to install a custom rom. so i loaded up Clockwork Mod Recovery and downloaded CleanROM 5.1 and put it on the phones memory.
I made a mistake at this point. using the tool i flashed the kernel from the Zip file before flashed the Rom or even made a backup!!!!. Now no matter what i do my phone will turn on and just sit at the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen, if i turn the phone off it just turns back on and site at that screen.
i have tried re-following the steps and it is still exactly the same. Do any of you guys have any solutions to this or have i wrecked my phone?
Any help will be gratefully taken as i don't have the cash to throw down for a new phone!!
Thanks,
Matt
First of all you need to clarify which version of HTC One you have, currently you are posting on international version forum ( tegra3 ), and im pretty sure that CleanRom was made only for Snapdragon S4 version ( was it this topic ?). Also check if you are able to boot into bootloader ( power down your phone by holding power button for ~~15 sec, press power while holding volume down button ).

Just a few questions that'll help us help you:
1. If you boot into the bootloader (power and volume down when powering on) What is the first word on the second line of text?
2. On the third line it should give you the HBOOT, could you give us the version number please?
3. Lastly could you please link the ROM you have flashed.
At the moment it seems to be able to be recovered so you can stop worrying
What Rom you're flashing and what hboot you have?

For one if you want to update the stock OS you need the Stock recovery so . I could go through all the introductions or I can teach a man to fish.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891
go to the page above go to guides and read these "Disaster Recovery, Reverting to Stock"
find out your CID number by putting your phone in fastboot while connected to your computer and use WinDroid HTC One X Toolkit v3.0
I think the guide section should help you fix the problem easily

I'd like to return the phone back to its factory settings if its possible. my laptop isnt currently recognizing the phone, and the phone is in continuous loop at the htc logo unless i hold the volume down and power button, but from there i cannot do anything as it says "No OS installed"
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this, and would appreciate any help.
Hope this helps

Sorry for the late reply, hope this helps
Let me know how it goes

Stock T-mobile G2 suddenly stuck in bootloop. No update. Want to backu

So, 2 nights ago I was just sending a message to someone when my phone rebooted. I wasn't downloading an update to my knowlege. Now it won't boot mostly. I can't get into download mode either. If I wait about an hour then hold the power button it will start and get to my home screen. It will stay on for about a minute then shut off and give me a LG splash screen or the t-mobile screen. When attempting to enter download mode I get the 8 red flashes. If I just leave it plugged into my laptop I'll get the charging screen. If I then power up, after some time my computer will recognize it's com port and modem but not as a hdd. There are files I absolutely need for work and school and they haven't been backed up. What does the craftiest android user do in this situation? I can get to the factory wipe screen. But, I really can't just wipe this phone yet. Help me PLEASE! I've watched hours of videos and read so much over at xda and haven't found anything that quite suits my situation other than a factory wipe. There's gotta be another way.
I can't get into the boot loader. Volume up and power only starts the boot loop again. Can't do download mode. I have gotten it to boot a few times but only for a second before restarting and giving me the LG screen
I've tried both the LG pc Suite and the Lg mobile support tool and tried the "restore upgrade errors" approach. Keeps getting to the end and telling me that the phone isn't charged. It's 100% charged. I have the ability to make videos but I wont have time until Sunday.
Can't get into fastboot. Fast boot for PC starts opens and shuts instantly. I also have the Minimal ADB and fast boot but it says it doesn't recognize a device.
I read another post where a nexus user had a similar issue and was able to root with CWM, though I believe he must have been able to get into the download mode.
This is stock. I've rooted my old galaxy S2 but kept this one stock. I've only skimmed the surface as far as the knowledge and ability many of you have and I'm hoping you have some kind of method of fixing this or at least eliminating the things I could try.
Very sorry for such a long post. It's late and I'm loopy. Thanks in advance for your help.
Pretty please!
You are in the wrong section my friend. This is T-mobile HTC G2 (aka HTC desire Z) section.
Thanks...
Oh, that makes a lot of sense! oops. Thanks.
