allright I'm kinda new at the whole android scene (first post, hello btw)
Okay I tried to flash a new lockscreen unto my rooted stock éclair and a Music Mod. Reboot and I get into a bootloop, no big deal I open recovery and I was gonna flash back my nand but then I decided to be bold and adventurous and try to flash a custom rom with a new radio instead of my back up. I first flashed the radio, rebooted after, took me back to the recovery with the usual ''formatting cache...'' I rebooted again, accessed Hboot (checked radio) but when I tried to access recovery to flash my rom, BOOM! stalling HTC logo. I removed the battery tried again (down to my 3rd try now) and it keeps taking me to the HTC logo.
I can access Hboot, Fastboot and that's about it -__-
Any buddy wanna give me a hand please I only had this phone for like a week.
I'm running a windows 7 PC if that can be prooved useful...
Thanks in advance
okay nevermind after like 30 mins it took me into the recovery, I can take it from here
god I feel stupid now -__-

I had Cyanogen before and I wanted to see what LeeDroid was all about.. flashed it, everything went great. Didn't like it cause Cyanogen is just so different so many more options!
So I decided to revert back to Cyanogen, to a new nightly build. I boot the phone up, goto Recovery and nothing.. it just freezes at the HTC screen. This would happen occasionally with Cyanogen and all I had to do was take the battery out and boot up again and I could get back in. I'm using Clockwork Recovery Mod SLCD.
Now with LeeDroid, I didn't even install any apps or anything, I just didn't like the Sense UI and lack of options. I powered the phone down, selected Recovery and nothing.. HTC screen and doesn't go anywhere.
I went to windows, thought I'd try reflashing using Unrevoked3 and the phone froze at the HTC screen again. I thought I bricked it.. so I took the battery out, and turned the phone on and it booted up.. checked my settings and everything was good. Tried it one more time.. then it got to the Flashing Recovery image.. do not touch your phone.. but then without saying Done or anything, the phone booted up into LeeDroid. That wasn't supposed to happen.
What the hell is going on? Now I'm scared that I might have corrupted the recovery image, my phones up and running, but I don't want to reboot it or anything in fear that it may get bricked
Have you tried to launch a recovery using fake flash?
No idea what that is.. I'm all new to this
According to this thread.. it won't work with an unrevoked root.

Try using Clockworkmod recovery by installing ROM Manager from the market. I always use that when upgrading or switching to a new rom.
No idea what's happening but I rebooted, and got into recovery.. flashed Open Desire and everything works now.. I think.
I still don't get why sometimes I can't get into Recovery and it just freezes.. does that happen to anyone else?
Hey guys,
I went to flash a new stable build of Froyo on my Desire this morning.
And i backed up using Clockwork, and then the ROM all installed fine. But once the phone had booted up, it stayed on the custom boot logo, despite the keypad lighting up, the green charge LED coming on and me being able to lock and unlock the phone.
So i figured that this was a problem and went to back to restore my old ROM and carry on like i have done many times before. However once i have booted into Clockwork, and gone to the recovery section, i select my most recent backup and the device then says "No Files Found" in the recovery zip.
And when i try to install update.zip from my SDCard the device just flashes up with installation text for about 2 seconds then vanishes and goes back to the clockwork menu having done nothing
What can i do?
i wouldnt worry about it too much
your phone completely works and youre not restricted of any access
seeing that clockwork is not finding any files have you tried making a new backup?
have you tampered with the recovery lately?
if recovery is not finding any files then maybe there is a problem with it, and if i were you i'd reroot my phone with unrevoked to re-install recovery.
if your recovery actually just does not work it could mean that the recovery image is corrupt, this can be fixed by installing a RUU (note that this will unroot your phone but re-install the recovery image).
if this is not the case then im sure im soon to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable than me
Well, i wiped the Cache and Data and now the phone boots up and functions fine, however both mobile internet and Wi-Fi both dont work, but i figure this is just the rom i am using.
So i'm just gonna reroot, sideload clockwork and what not and then try putting the Desire HD rom on it haha.
Thanks for the help
I tried to flash the latest (at that time) Synergy Rom on Sunday. I had been trying out Sense 3.0 Roms since being on Cyanogen for 3 months and low in behold after flashing and rebooting, the phone hung on the splash screen, wouldn't even get to the boot animation. I pulled the battery out to reboot and kept doing the same things. So then i just figured I go through bootloader to get to recovery. When I hit recovery, the phone hung on the splash screen and thus I was forced to report my phone lost because I use it for work and was able to get a new one the next day (had to pull out my old bb 8530). The phone charges, but it will not do anything when powering on, or hitting recovery but go to splash. Once again when i try to go into recovery, it won't get there.
Any Help Please.

You need to reflash your recovery. Is it just hanging at the splash screen, or is it rebooting at the splash screen?
Download this PC36IMG I attatched (it's Amon RA recovery v2.3). Place the file on the main directory of your sd card (you'll probably need to take the SD card and use a card reader to get the file on the card....or put the card in another phone with an sd slot if you have access to one...just get the PC36IMG.zip file on your card). Once it's on the card and card's back in the phone, boot to your bootloader. It should scan and find the PC36IMG then ask you to update...select vol up to say yes. Should finish in 10-15 seconds. Then when it asks you to reboot, say no. Now from the bootloader menu, choose recovery. Do you successfully boot to recovery now, hopefully?
Ok, I got that, I put cyanogens latest release candidate from 5/5 on the card, I have Ra's recovery up, i guess i jumped ahead and the install aborted, tips please.

So what part aborted? When you were flashing the rom? Just to clarify, you did successfully get the recovery flashed, right? Now it's the rom you're having trouble flashing?
If so, I'd be sure that you don't have a corrupted download. Check the md5 checksum, or simply try redownloading it and trying again. Good luck.
It starts to install the ROM, then it all of a sudden aborts after getting 50-75 percent complete. I'm trying RC 7.3 now, wala, it worked, well i have an extra evo now i need to figure out what to do with it. BIG THANKS.

You're welcome, glad you got it squared away.
As far as having two Evo's...just be careful. If I'm not mistaken, when you report a phone lost or stolen to Sprint, they will make the ESN bad. I'd check into that, to make sure that one them doesn't have a bad ESN. I didn't even catch that part of your OP that you had already gotten a new one, lol.
So I guess that will make the phone useless if I give it to my father in-law.
turn it back in n say u found it...in other words the right thing

I've been running a Sense ROM the last few days and wit the 3 different Sense Kernels I've flashed, I got stuck on the ROM's Splash Screen, had to do a battery pull and reboot and it was fine.
That could be your problem right there.

Hi everyone,
I have a friend with a HTC Droid Incredible 2, rooted and running Android 2.3.4. Yesterday the phone just got frozen, he pulled the battery and now the phone wont pass the boot screen. Sometimes it goes into what I believe is the bootloader screen (I attached photos for that).
The thing is, I would recommend him to re-flash the ROM but when he try to go to Recovery, the phone restarts and stays again on the white screen with the HTC logo.
I searched the forum and all suggestions had something to do with the recovery menu but when he select the recovery option (when he is actually able to get the withe background menu, sometimes it goes in sometimes not) it just restarts again and does nothing. Is there a way to fix the problem? I guess there should be a way to solve it, at least through the computer. If there is already a tutorial to do it, much better.

download the pg32img.zip to the phones sdcard. You might need to do this not from the phone, but i'll leave that up to you.
This will update the firmware and radio.
Flash a new recovery via fastboot

I managed to flash the recovery but it does the same things. still cannot go into recovery and flash new rom. any other way to flash a new rom?
By the way, I connected the phone (while off) to the PC and like 15 minutes after it went right into recovery, but when I pressed a volume button it just restarted.
I will recommend flash the PG32IMG first.and then flash a new rom.

I did, via the bootloader, and I flashed a new recovery with fastboot, but it keeps restarting when I select the recovery on the bootloader. If I connect the phone (turned off) to the computer some time later it goes alone into recovery but reboots when I select any option, if I turn on the phone it stays like for half an hour on the first HTC screen, then it finishes booting and restart alone again.
try flashing this ruu

The phone just started working again after a couple of factory resets via fastboot, then I wiped every cache and was able to boot normally again, and I forgot to come back here and say thanks, so.... Thanks!
Good evening everyone,
I've been scanning the forums and everyone's problems seems a little different. First of all, i was running CM10 and missed some of the sense features, so i jumped to ViperX.
1. Everything seemed fine on first run, got the snakey tail, but then i noticed it was hanging just after this with the "Htc quietly brilliant" screen and snakey long gone!
2. So i reboot my phone, this time, it just hung on the first start screen and never so much as flinched.
3. I booted into recovery (CWM) and couldn't even get there, it was like a blink of the recovery screen and then it vanished and rebooted, I wiped everything clean by doing a factory reset and tried to reboot again. Same result.
4, Flashed TWRP and managed to get into recovery mode and install ViperX again but on reboot I'm stick at that same ol' "quietly brilliant" screen, this time with no snakey.
I can get into hboot to use fastboot and into recovery in TWRP but cannot get into the OS. I'm not clear as to whether this is a problem with hboot or the way the rom is installed but any suggestions or such about how i've gone about things and how to go about getting around this problem would be great! Gracias! :good:
Did you flash the correct boot.img?

Strangely, and by the luck of trial and error, I tried 2 boot images. The first was for CM10 (again, this was trial and error) and now i've just rebooted from the ViperX one and managed to get back in. Back up in progress! Phewww!!!!
You get my thanks for replying anyhow!
