Hello.
I'm pretty sure i bricked my HTC desire yesterday when trying to flash LeeDroids Mod. My phone hangs at the three green HTC letters and it has been like this the whole night. I've tried taking out the battery and things like that but it still hangs. Even when triyng to do a recovery. So i searched the forum to find out how to unbrick the phone and i found a nice thread that explains how to get acces to the SD again and then how to unbrick the USB connection. But I havent been able to try this out yet since i cannot find out how to enter commands when in fastboot. I know I need to be connected with a USB-cable to the PC, but what else do I have to do?
Hope someone can help 'cause I would really love to have my HTC Desire working again so that i can try out more cool FroYo mods from this lovely forum.

you have to use adb, google the android sdk and start there
All you need to do is boot into FASTBOOT, plug in your USB and run an RUU to get back to stock (assumg one is available for your phone) and then root again, had to do it myself the other day
you do not have to do ANY of this
if you are using clockworkmod or any custom recovery then there is the option to mount USB storage in which you can put on a backup or any other rom onto your sd card, unmount usb storage, and flash it, all in one.

How do I do that when my phone doesnt boot? As i wrote in the first post it is stock at the 3 green HTC letters. I was using clockworkmod to flash, but as I wrote i cannot boot into andoid atm.
@AndroHero: Can you please give me a link or something? I have tried a lot of things, but i doesnt seem to work, so I would like to be certain that the link and guide im using is right.

Have you booted the phone while holding the volume down and then selecting recovery, then when recovery boots, press volume up and power then select "apply update.zip" ?
The problem is that when i choose recovery it freezes aswell. The screen with the phone and the little red triangle freezes, so i cannot choose recovery.

What is RUU?
Edit: Maybe I need someone to make a step by step noob guide? Im totally lost. Ive flashed my Desire lots of times before and ive never had a single problem, but right now i really dont know what to do and how to do?
If you're asking questions about RUU's then maybe rooting wasn't for you. It's basic stuff. You need a grasp of the basics before trying something advanced!
Basically it's the official ROM file from HTC/your phone vendor...
Okay. Thanks. I thought that RUU was something like that but I just couldnt see how i should be able to acces any files right now. As i wrote before the phone freezes at the picture of a phone with the red triangle, and i am not able to get any further that that. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me how and what to do next?
I had the same problem a few days ago. For me it worked to just go through the rooting process again, you can find the steps on modaco (just step 1 of r6), I can't link them at the moment I'm at work and it seems I can't open modaco from here.
Anyways if you follow step 1 you can access the recovery again and the phone will boot past the HTC logo screen.
Also these steps are well documented on modaco.
Try this first since it will save you the step of running the RUU, which I wasn't able to (somehow the software complained my battery was below 30%, which it wasn't)
Good luck hope this solves it for you.

You don't need to go into recovery! boot into FASTBOOT and then leave it at that. Plug the phone in and it will then say FASTBOOT USB. Then run the RUU your phone came with originally. You don't need to go anywhere near Recovery
I am pretty certain that ive found a solution now. I deserve a fist in the nuts for being so stupid not to press volume up + power when trying to get into recovery mode. But fortunately dnlgee asked if i had remembered this. Now that ive gotten this far i should be able to solve the rest. I will however return if im still unable to solve it.

For some reason a few apks give me a quick 3 second view then direct me back to the homescreen rom manager happens to be one of them. so i cant go that route
Have you tried flashing Amon RA's recovery from the dev forum? I believe you can flash it from hboot. Otherwise, flash the recovery.zip from Toast's root method also in the dev forum.

Now when you go in to the bootloader select fastboot usb or fastboot and run a ADB Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.7.0.2.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode
fastboot devices(press enter) (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-evo-v1.7.0.2.img(press enter)

Hi I'm new to the mytouch slide family coming from a Motorola Defy and I'm having a hard time going into the recovery mode. Everytime I try get the red triangle warning. I've watched videos, read ROM bible and other post and still no luck. My slide is rooted by VISIOnary Temproot but with root at boot selected. I've been at this for 3 days trying not to bother anyone on the forum for a solution but now I need help!!!! Also I have ROM Manager and loaded Clockwork Recovery through ROM Manager.
Thanks-
Under ROM manager the 2nd option says reboot into recovery. Im pretty sure you tried that right? You can also get to this by turning off the phone and hold the vol down button and press power.
Oops. then select recovery
hoped this helped

Thanks for the quick reply but yes I've done the the power button with the down vol button and once I select recovery I get the same outcome (Red Triangle). I've even selected the boot into recovery from ROM Manager and the same thing happens (Red Triangle).

Ive never heard of that root method. Are you sure youre rooted? You did say you used a temp root method. Every time you power down youre probably breaking root. First, download an app that needs root, like titanium backup. If it fails to load, you dont have root and that will be why you get a red triangle everytime. I would try rooting using a full proof way listed in the development section. Also, i dont use rom manager but i've heard of issues using that to get recovery.

VISIONary is used to temp root the G2. With VISIONary you can select to temp root your phone on boot, so that's what I selected.I tried it on my slide and it worked. May I ask what method you use? I will try the full proof way.
Thanks-
I cant give you a link since im not at a computer, but its called " [UTIL] New Root Method as of 8/13! -> UPDATED 12/30 for NOOBS! <- " and its stickied in the development section. I used this the second time i rooted my phone (decided to update with tmobile's ota and it broke my first root).

Htc sync? What would you need that for. As long as you phone is visible to the computer you shouldnt need htc sync. I know i have never used it
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
at the red triangle screen you push vol up + power I believe -- can't remember exactly and no longer have stock recovery to check with. But it is just another button combination.
HTH
Temp root apps don't root your phone, regardless of boot settings. You need to have the eng build flashed through hboot to be able to get into a recovery that will flash self signed zips such as clockwork. No matter what you do, without fully rooting using a method in the development section, you will not be able to flash clockwork or any custom rom. Temp root only allows you to run root apps inside of android.

As for that, it's the easiest way of obtaining the ADB drivers for the slide, as the slide is only plug n play as far as mass storage, not its adb interface. I'm sure there are other methods, but installing HTC sync is the easiest.
Need help!!! Recovery
I have succesfully root my girlfriends slide and s-off. but i tried to flash cwm 2.5 thru fastboot and now cannot get into recovery neither factory with triangle or cwm. How do i fix this or will i have to unroot bascially and start over to get the recovery .img again? Also, who can help with permanently flashing cw recovery so that i do not have to use the update.zip method.?

Did you try to fastboot flash the update.zip? That's not good, you should've flashed the cw2.5 .img file. No, you don't have to reroot or res-off, but download the .img file for the latest clockwork recovery on koush's website, for our device. Then, on your computer, while in fastboot mode and plugged into usb, type
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
obviously replacing filename.img with the actual file name/location.
Please help me figure this out...
I also cannot get into recovery mode. Here's my story:
I have a rooted (Supersonic EVT2-2 SHIP S-OFF; HBOOT-0.93.0000) EVO (I know that this is a MyTouch thread, but I couldn't find any similar issues at the EVO thread) that I'm running Warm 2.2 RLS 4 on. I have it set up the way that I wanted and it is running perfect (enough for me).
Yesterday, I caught a glimpse of the MIUI ROM that has an iPhone theme so I wanted to try it out. So, I used Titanium to back up my apps and data to my SD card (8GB with 3GB open). Then, I went to ROM Manager to back up my ROM. I saw that there was an update for the ClockworkMod Recovery so flashed it up to 3.0.0.5. Then I went to Backup Current ROM, kept the suggested name, and hit OK. After a few seconds, the Splash Screen briefly shows, the phone buzzes and then I'm on the initial Bootloader menu screen (with the three Androids at the bottom).
I highlight Bootloader, then I hit the Power button to go to the next set of menus, and the phone does it's checks. After the checks, I push the Volume Down button to go to Recovery, then hit the Power button. The splash screen (white HTC EVO 4G) shows again, the phone buzzes, and I'm back at the initial Bootloader screen.
Whether I use the Quick Boot app, the ROM Manager app, or the Power and Volume Down method, I cannot get past the Bootloader screen to get into Recovery. All I get is Splash, buzz, then the initial Bootloader. Warm 2.2 RLS4 is a nice stable ROM, but I am starting to feel limited, which is why I rooted the phone a few months ago.
Could someone PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZSSSSSSEEEEE help me with this? I am far from a comp engineer, but I can follow instructions pretty well.
Thanks a million!
njgoodfella2199: You're really going to be better off asking in the EVO forums. Good luck!
Yeah, we don't know much about the evo or how it works compared to our gsm phones. The way rom manager updates it may be different. You might be able to use the same solution, find the img file of the latest clockwork and fastboot flash it, but ask on the evo q&a.

explain your semi bricked status... how do you know its semi bricked? which step did he miss?
also you be better off asking in guide how to recover semi bricked phone rather than asking in Q & A....experienced mods usually follow that thread and reply to ppl who have queries
it wont go into the Android OS, it just stays stuck at HTC. No further. And he didnt tell me, but he watched a video on youtube.

here is the link to the desire z /G2 wiki...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
go straight to the rooting section and try to find out which method was he using to root your phone... when you narrow that down try to find which step he missed.....when all thats done than either post here exactly which method was he using and which step he missed.....or post in the semi bricked page.....
right now the most current recommended method is using Gfree...
also try to see if you have access to your recovery and if clockworkmod recovery is installed or not....
for that take out your battery and put it back in.... hold volume down and power button....
it will boot into boot loader
give it few seconds to display that "waiting for SD card Pb10.img not found"
than use volume down button to navigate to recovery and use power button as click selection..... if it boots up into clockworkmod recovery than you have custom recovery installed
Yeah i dont have CWM installed, just checked. And what my brother told me is that he was "temporary rooted" then he tried to "perm root", but actually, he didnt go to youtube, he tried to perm root using the VISIONary method.

check wiki for htc vision ... for how to fix errors during rooting.....
also if you wanna root gfree is recommended software lately..... check wiki to confirm.....
also try factory reset.... by turning phone off... than holding power button and volume up and down button .... i think.....confirm via wiki
Well i also cant do any adb steps because adb doesnt detect my G2 (although it detects it when im in recovery (the menu with a phone and red exclamation point) but it says its offline) i can only use fastboot
and btw my G2 is S-ON
and i have done factory resets and nothing
I'm not as experianced as a lot of the but have you tryed the pc10img via fast boot? That might work scince everything is stock on your phone
/edit have you gone the the adb guides it took me a few times but I finally got it...adb looks the best way to go

it might be because you tried the 1.12 verison pc10img.zip and your phone came with updated 1.19 version
PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b _26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
try this one by putting in your sd card. your phone should flash it and it shouldnt say version is older...
download from here
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
when you put it in sd card rename it to just PC10img.zip and reboot into bootloader and when it asks you to flash. let it flash
I'll try that right now, but I think I did use the 1.19 one but can't recall.
I'll edit this post to tell you if it works
EDIT:It still says Main Version is Older...you think i need to use the 1.12 one?

How would I know that? No conformation message or anything comes up :/ and 64-bit (which I read is the one that has the most problems)
i have purchased a 2nd hand desire z from someone, i noticed it has clockwork and rom manager installed, i think it also has super user rights. I also noticed that the rom is Virtuous 1.0.1. Thinking this meant that the phone was already rooted, i used rom manager to download and install CM7, however it caused the phone to be semi bricked, then i also realised that the phone was also S-ON.
Fortunately i managed to reboot the phone into CWM and restored the previous image, so now the question is, what is wrong?
PS. new to this whole android thingy..
hmmm... sounds like MAYBE you had a temp root?? Is you had superuser you definitely had some form of root, however, i am not sure you can flash a new rom if you dont have S-off (but i could be TOTALLY wrong here)
I have an Evo (and dont have this temp root issue), but i am helping a friend with a similar problem with his G2.
Can you get into recovery? (while phone is off, hold the volume down and power on the phone) If you can, do you have Clockwork recovery or stock android (says 3e at the top i think)?? If you have CW, just enable USB, download a CM7 through your computer, put it on your SD and flash it. SHould be good to go.
If you have stock recovery and S-on.. WELCOME TO MY BOAT... I am trying to find a solution to this for my friends phone. If i figure it out, i can let you know (please do the same??)
I am having the same problem, with the same rom. I can use all root apps, but it says S is ON? I can't put any other rom on my phone with out it going into boot loop or just staying on, HTC screen. Some one please help us, I know there are many phone guru's on this site. Any help would be over the top. O-yeah and I can not get the wifi to connect either says error or turns it self off after scanning? Please please please help. Thank you in advance.

tried using CW to flash CM7 again.. no go.. just stuck at HTC screen after rebooting...
i was also reading thru the goldcard portion of the guides. Should i create one so that i can downgrade my phone back to an earlier ROM? Would appreciate some help to get permaroot.
ok.. i have managed to downgrade to an older rom and did a full root after that.. finally managed to get cm7 working..
was using this guide all the way..
