If you can get to the boot menu then its not bricked
Try reflashing the recovery from there

Try using unrevoked, and make sure your in hboot when u plug it in
If that doesn't work I believe your other option is adb but I know nothing of using it

Assuming you have a way to get the file onto your sdcard (like plugging it directly into your computer), you can flash the recover image from hboot. I am not sure where you can get the plane jane clockwork recovery, but you can get the slightly modified clockwork recovery with easy scrolling enabled from the thread linked below. That should at least get you up and running again and then you can flash back the regular CW Recovery from Rom Manager if you don't like the easy scroll version.
Instructions for flashing from hboot are also in the thread.

You guys are missing that hes S-on, which means he cant flash from hboot.

I saw it but was guessing he meant s-off because of the way he said it. Hopefully unrevoked worked for him then as I don't think you have to have s-off for it to work.
Other option would be to flash a stock RUU from hboot. That should work even if he is s-on.

Either way. He's got hboot, which means its not a brick
to the OP
If nothing else works,
I agree with sdorn. RUU is the way.
Thats what will fix your issues.
If you cant get to recovery and you have S-on, meaning that you cannot flash a custom recovery, your only option is to RUU. There is a link in android development. You will need a windows computer. Try this and report back. If it doesnt work and gives you a USB error, simply: 1. Exit the ruu program (KEEP YOUR PHONE PLUGGED IN), and 2. Run it again.
Boom, no more brick
but, hours worth of retweaking.

You could also try to run a update.zip of the OTA. Here is the url to download it.

thanks, but the incredible is s-on and I cant access to the recovery for the update . Im trying to figure how to do the RUU that fretless said.

This update there is no need to have s-off, you can do out with s-on. It is the official ota update from verizon. Just download it, put out on the your of your sd card, then power phone up while holding the power button and volume down button. It should recognoize the file and ask you if you want to install. This is easier than the RUU and just as effective.

He can't get into recovery, so he can't apply the update. He's got to ruu.

1. Download the update.zip file from here. (DIRECT FROM GOOGLE.)
2. Drop the file on the root of your SD card. (Meaning, don’t put it in any folder.)
*MAKE SURE IT’S NAMED UPDATE.ZIP!
3. Turn your phone off.
4. Press and hold the Volume Down and Power at the same time to boot into HBOOT.
5. When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
6. Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
7. When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
8. Using the volume button, scroll down to “apply sdcard:update.zip” and select it.
9. Your phone will now update!
10. It could take some time, so be patient. When it reboots, you are on official 2.2. Yay!

there is another way to install this update without the recovery menu?

Just use the ruu. Your recovery is probably messed up.

Unrevoked drivers don't play nice with the ruu.

Follow above posters to RUU to 2.2 stock.
UnRevoked 3.2 will give you root and CWM.

HTC Evo Goes to FASTBOOT Instead of Recovery

Hey guys so I have been messing with my Evo trying to get S-off and trying to get it to start with clockwork recovery but I have had no luck after at least 6 hours of trying. So I have decided to seek some expert advice so anything will help.
About my evo
Purchased day it came out and rooted it the following night with a tedious method I don't remember at all.
HBOOT- 0.79.0000
Radio - 1.39.00.04.26
Rom Installed - Cyanogen 7.0.3.1
My initial problem
I was trying to get my phone to boot to recovery (latest clockwork recovery and Amon RA 2.3) but every time I tried I would see the red triangle with the exclamation mark. So to fix this I tried running the latest unrevoked and that would get hung up at rooting... so then I wiped my phone and tried again and still nothing. I would get stuck at either rooting... or firmware too new then I tried using an older version of unrevoked (3.21) and it seemed to get further. It ended up getting stuck at reboot.
New problem
Now I cant enter recovery at all. Whenever I try entering through rom manager it takes me to FASTBOOT and even if I try entering recovery through bootloader it does the same. Any suggestions will help! And if you need any more information I will be glad to help.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/PC36IMG.zip
Place that on the root of your sd card. Turn your phone off, boot into the bootloader while holding vol+down as you turn the power on. Let it scan, apply update, reboot, reboot into recovery, from the bootloader, and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3 recovery.

Jeez, please stop using ROM Manager to boot to recovery, or to do anything else and explain how you can be using CWM AND AR??

Okay it booted and recognized the file PC36IMG. As for the update, how do I apply it? I click recovery and it still takes me to FASTBOOT.
@HipKat and I tried both recoveries at different times. First clockwork, the amon ra.

It should have asked you to apply update, which you would have used the volume keys to navigate to yes, then pressed the power button to make the selection. If ya didn't get it, do the process again.

It doesnt ask me that and I have tried 5 times already. All it does is return to the bootloader screen.

The script in my sig should be able to recover it, just flash cm7 again once it's done and you should be good to go. You will be able to get to the recovery afterward by holding down power and selecting reboot

So I have been trying to use AutoRoot and was following the video on the thread but I keep getting hung up at "ERROR Could not access the SD card!" Also I was trying to use flashzip as suggested in this thread with your response. And I noticed that it was notifying me my nand was locked. Does that matter at all?

It sounds like you never got fully rooted if your nand is locked (s-on) and the sd card not being recognized could be caused by unrevoked not undoing something. Flashing the 3.29 PC36IMG will most likely fix the sd card error, but if not you'll need to use the OpenShell script from the autoroot folder and type the following:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
If you could attach the autorootlog.txt file to a post that will also give some more information about the condition of your phone.

Yeah im pretty sure my phone doesn't have a full root and okay im currently downloading 3.29.651.5_PC36IMG.zip. (by the way how do I install it with flashzip? do I just move it in the res folder or what?
attached is my autorootlog
thanks for all your help thus far I hope we get this figured out soon.
edit: I flashed as you suggested, ill see if it solved sd card error.

Anywhere in the autoroot folder will be ok. It can't get your firmware version either so there is definitely something weird going on there, but you should be good once 3.29 is flashed.

Its currently flashing my firmware. Everything seems good so far! I will keep you updated.
edit: It says
congratulations! Your phone is now rooted with a customer recovery capable of flashing ROMs!
Unrevoked Forever was not required to root your phone but you must flash it if you plan on using a production hBoot. The ENG hBoot that is currently installed is unlocked by design and has extra features that can not be used on newer version.

WOW! Amazing, thanks so much! S-off, I can enter a custom recovery, and installing cyanogen as we speak. Finally a full root. I have been trying to achieve this forever. Any suggestions on roms? I have been using cyanogen forever.

Glad to hear that, you'll want to remember not to use any RUUs or upgrade your hboot though. Unrevoked forever can be used to permanently unlock it but as is flashing a RUU will completely unroot your phone and flashing anything newer than 3.29 will prevent you from downgrading your hboot again.
I'm currently using aamikam's sense 2.1 rom from here but have been looking for another, I can't lower brightness with any of the GB sense ROMs so my battery gets murdered when the screen is on. I'm digging the new sense though.

hBoot stands for hardware boot, it's just another name for the bootloader. Flashing a RUU is guaranteed to upgrade it but aside from that you shouldn't really have to worry about it.

My Wildfire S doesn't start any recovery - why?

Hello,
i am very desperate.
I want a permanent root on my WFs so I unlocked it.
The next step was to Install a custom recovery. I tried different one but non of them ist starting
I tried this one:
CWM 5.0.2.6
CWM 5.0.2.8
Touch CWM 5.0.2.8
I used fastboot to install them. The flashing works good. But after reboot an selecting "recovery" nothing happens.
None of the is starting. Either I got a black screen or my WFs hang up or it is booting normaly.
What can I do?
I have a WFs with Android 2.3.5, Software# is 2.26.401.3
My HBOOT looks like this:

maybe a bad download, try redownloading recovery.img or try a totally new link.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1rdxmtpx26201or
this is for cwm 5.0.2.8.
did you get any errors at all when flashing recovery?
(not trying to be rude)
for example, did you leave it to fully install.....it has to 'send' the .img to the phone first, then install it....
in cmd did it say send OK and then flash OK or soemthing similar?
i'm thinking that if you get black screen, maybe it sent it but didn't install....either that, or as i said, maybe a bad download?

I tried 3 different recoverys so it is unlikely that three different files are damaged.
the cmd says as you mentioned, no errors, everything seems so bee good.
it's not the same error when flashing one of the custom recoverys. with one I got a black screen, with another one the WFs start's with a HTC-screen and hang up, and with the third one after a some time of waiting, the device is starting normally

how long did you leave it at the white htc screen? it is supposed to show that first then it boots into recovery?

My problem is the same. Same configuration for me, but no recovery boot is possible, I can see only HTC logo nothing more. You can try to make zip file with recovery image and name it |PG76IMG.zip|, place it into SD card root and boot into bootloader. But it did not work for me at all. But U can try.

Maybe if you could(do not know) down grade your H-boot to 1.03.XXX then it would allow the CWM recovery to be properly installed. Just a thought.

I don't understand why only I have this problem. I think many people with the same device have the same software and noboday else says something.
It's a lot of effort because I have to install 2 times everything because at the moment there is no opportunity to make a full backup
I found some postings which says that downgrading software for WFs would be not possible. The only thing would be to cheat the number of the version but then it's still the same software on the device.
Are there other things that I can do?

Find a cell shop by you and have them S-off the phone with a XTC-clip. Then you will be able to do what ever you want to the phone.

[Q] stupid htc desire question about custom recovery

I have a htc desire that i used revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery...
however my center button is broken... is there a recovery that uses a different button to select
the options? or do i have to buy a new button for the phone even though i have never used it
(yes my track ball is dead, (really it is stuck in "down" so i disconnected it completely)
( got the phone used free and have been useing it for a while and never missed that button)
i have
revoluyionary cwm v4.0.1.4 and everything else about the phone is still stock.
cant even flash superuser.zip to root it.
thanks for any help
( is there a touch recovery for the desire ???)
(im not a total newbie but its my first htc phone and google has not helped with this question)
btw my phone is
bravo pvt4 ship s-off

Is there a way to reset the DHD if it is not booting and CWM recovery is malfunctioni

Hey pals. I have an issue with my DHD...I am running CyanogenMod 10.1 and yesturday someone messed with the developer options and chose to emulate a 1024x760, or something like that, display. The phone froze and I had to remove the battery to shut it down...However when I try to do a factory reset through CWM recovery the phone freezes on the HTC logo and when I try to boot It freezes before reaching the home screen. I realized that this phone can't boot normally now cos the display emulation i talked about earlier is causing an issue, and the situation has been complicated by the fact that I cant use CWM recovery...So I cant acces the phone completely...So I am wondering if there is a way to undo that setting without using CWM recovery...Something like maybe removing the battery or opening it up n remove something for some time etc. Any help will be appreciated.

Hey
How did you root?
Are you S-OFF?

Get a ruu to restore at the last case if nothing works. BUT. Try to go to fastboot and flash recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46369904 from there since its probably a bad install

Hey XDA_h3n what is a ruu? Could be worth a try since when i go to fastboot I have 4 options which are 1. Bootloader 2. Reboot 3. Reboot bootloader and 4. Power down. So I go for he reboot option n the phone just tries to reboot n it hangs again just before the home screen...Thanks

You are s-off dont use ruu, it may make you s-on.
Press Fastboot then do the flashing from cmd cd to your your-android-sdk-folder-location-here/platform-tools/fastboot.exe like cd c:/android/ then do fastboot flash recovery.img and make sure you have recovery.img in your tools folder. You can find a .img from the thread I posted previously (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2317202&d=1381475742) in this example extract it place .img in the platform-tools location and rename the .img to recovery.img

Flashing a ruu wont make you loose s-off, it makes you loose root. Two completely different things.
Your issue happened when you did the factory reset.
One possible solution is to:
Flash ruu
Flash a recovery
Flash rom
As long as your phone is recognized by your pc (which may not due to having done tue factory reset - can't remember if it does or doesn't), then you should be good to go.

Unfortunately the PC is not recognizing the phone anymore...Do u think I can do it by SD card...i.e renaming the stock ROM or Recovery to PD98IMG.zip and putting it on the root of SD card? I guess the solution has to not involve USB connectivity

Sounds reasonable, but not quite sure. I can't remember if you can flash a rom that way. I would suggest to do a proper search, read and see what you can find in that regard.

Well in my research (back in 2010) to flash a ruu with a previous version you need a gold card. After you get the ruu as a PDxxxxx.zip format (look for a desire hd one as others will brick your phone) and place it in the root of your sd card. Reboot your phone in recovery and press vol+ to flash, and wait for 10-20mins and your phone should be alive.
Some sd's dont work with gold cards (in my experience, a kingston 16gb didn't work but a samsung 8gb did for some reason)

I guess the journey just ended...I renamed the touch recovery zip file to PG....zip and booted into bootloader. I was required to confirm if I wanted to upate n I chose yes...and voilà I got recovery touch installed this time for real....did a factory reset n everything is just fine now...I appreciate all the help from you guys. I wonder how I gan tag this thread as solved...
