tried to boot in to recovery and got a screen with a white triangle and a yellow exclamation point inside above an android robot.
the suggestion is to battery pull. anyone else have this issue? if so, what's the procedure on reboot?
thanks.
I think that's the Stock Recovery Menu ( i kept getting it when i was trying to install the Patches from Fresh & used Clockwork Recovery because the two weren't compatible ).
Do you definitely have a Custom Recovery installed?
You pressed the power button instead of the optical trackpad when trying to reboot from custom recovery
Optical trackpad? What Evo has one of those? LMAO!
Flash Clockwork recovery or AmonRa recovery. You have stock (no recovery).
It is hard to answer your question without further specifics.
For example:
1.) Are you rooted?
a.) If yes, what are you trying to boot into recovery for? - flash radio/wimax or rom???
b.) If no, go to Android Development and read how to Root and install a custom recovery.
2.) If you have a custom recovery, what is it?
to put it simpler than this.
1. What ROM do you have?
2. What custom recovery do you have?
3. What step did you do to get into recovery? - from android or from boot up?

Hello shawnathan9!
I have similar problem with my Nexus one.
I have a rooted phone (used superoneclick to root)
Installed clockworkmod and flashed it with the recovery image.
Since I wanted to install latest cynogenmod I used clockworkmod to install the latest radio for it. Now when the phone rebooted it is hung diplaying a white triangle with and exclamation mark inside it. I haven't removed my battery yet and have plugged it to a power source. Can you help me ?
You're rooted, but you are trying to access recovery, but you don't have one loaded. Search google for Amon_RA or clockwork recovery to flash. If you have rom manager, you should be able to flash either or and it should work.
I did the unrevolked 3 and got it rooted. Then I booted it up into the recovery mode and ran clockworkmod. Now how do I get a rom (like mikfroyo 4.5) on it? I tried booting and selecting a zip from my sd card(which mikfroyo 4.5 is on it in zip form still) But it would not finish/aborted ? What am I doing wrong? I have the sptint HTC EVO 4 g phone with all the latest hboot ect on it.

That is part of updating the radio. Just let it finish and it will reboot into recovery. The phone has to go to that screen to update the radio. You may be able to save it by booting into that screen and just let it sit there for a while...eat dinner...take a dump...do whatever and come back and see if your phone is in recovery. I would turn it off and charge it first to make sure you have enough battery to finish the update.
I have the same experience, when I updates to Gingerbread (OTA).

Hello thank you so much for your information. I will leave the phone in that mode (screen hung with triangle an exclamation mark inside + android green logo below) and plug in the charger, until tomorrow morning. Then I have a question if tomorrow the phone still hung in that screen mode, what I have to do?
If you can give me solution, I would be very thankful. Happening in August 23, 2011.

After 2 days, trying to download updates firmware (OTA) GingerBread on HTC Evo 4G, I failed because the phone has been rooted, I found a "superuser permision" app. in the the All apps menu.This meant it is a rooted android phone, which will not permitted to update firmware OTA, is this true? If yes, this is the cause of screen hung at triangle with exclamation inside, and android green logo below.

Thats what my phone is doing the clockworksmod menu will not come up only see the
white triangle with the exc symbal with the android symbal. have to pull the battery out ot reset but phone still loads up and works.
ok so i flashed DeFrost 6.0k and basically i have no power to my desire what so ever, ive tried everything u can imagine a noob would do and it still dosent work! before i flashed it i installed clockwork recovery but re-installed alpharev because i couldn't partition my sd card from CW.
i partitioned it 2gb FAT = 1gb ext = 128mb ext with 32m swap, help please?
Running AlphaRev Recovery
S-OFF
AlphaRev is not a recovery.
Can you boot in to recovery? If not make sure you flash a desire compatible image.
Did you change hboot image? If yes make sure it's not to small.

Hi.
Ricky's phone wont power on, cant boot into recovery and when the charger is plugged in there is no led lights nothing. Basically dead ?
What does "re-installed alpharev because i couldn't partition my sd card from CW" even mean? You flashed Amon Ra Recovery or did you flash a different hboot?
You also can't boot in to fastboot?
If not, check the md5 of whatever you did with with AlphaRev to see if it matches. If it doesn't I believe this is the end of the story.
Tried the basics, battery off for 30 seconds and back on.. etc?
Your post is a little squiff
I'm Ricky's mums partner and what he did was rooted his phone and he had clockwork mod recovery, he then flashed alpharev and then went back to clockwork mod ???and because he couldn't partition his SD through Clockwork mod he went back to alpha rev lmao.
I give Ricky an old defrost rom I had stored on laptop and as far as I gather he flashed that and then his phone went Erm...........dead.
Battery has been taken out, put back in n nothing happens lol phone is completely d.e.a.d
Hope that explains it a little better lmao
Btw I see a Welsh dragon where in Wales are u ? I'm originally from south
Edit: I see Swansea lol I was a little further up towards neath Ish, actually Ystradgynlais
Once again, AlphaRev is not a recovery, you can't replace clockworkmod with AlphaRev. You can replace clockworkmod with Amon Ra Recovery. So did you/he use the AlphaRev.iso and what did you/he do with it? Only run the iso? Anything with fastboot commands and hboot images after S-offing? Did the phone still boot after this, because flashing a rom can't brick your phone.
Does the phone boot when you do it with volume down + power or back + power?
Lmao ok he replaced clockwork mod with amnon and then went back to clockwork mod and because he couldn't partition sd he flashed amnon again lol
His phone is s/off and God knows what he done with the iso?
As I said nothing happens with his phone, power down, volume down, back button etc etc no led when charger is attached?
Tried a different battery?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Yep tried my battery and still nothing lol
Does the phone connect to a PC via usb when connected, ie does anything at all show in the Device manager?
The led not lighting up when connecting is a bad singe but, you know that you have to use back or volume down in combination with the power button (at the same time)? And to make the guessing game a bit easier, the phone did work normal after changing the recovery images? It only went bad after flashing Defrost?
Yeah I know about the combination mate. Rick is not here at mo but will ask what he did do so you can get a clear picture lol
I'm only telling you what rick told me lol think there's more to it though.

I have the same problem, my phone is "bricked" it does not power on even though my battery is fully charged, and the led does not turn on when I plugin the battery-charger anymore, it is completely dead, "bricked".
right from scratch this is what happened,
i was running AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.3 with my own rom and it was working fine, i decided to go back to defrost as i like the interface better. I downloaded Clockwork mod recovery from xda.richardtrip.org and flashed it, only after that i noticed i couldnt partition my SD card from clockwork mod and reflashed AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT, partitioned sd card, booted my phone to check the partition had worked, wiped data, cache & dalvik & then flashed defrost 6.0k with defrosts recommended radio and kernel, clicked reboot system after flashing and a blank screen was on for about 15 mins so i pulled the battery left it 30 secs tried to boot into HBOOT but it wouldn't turn on
Still doesnt answer the question, does the PC respond at all when you connect the USB cable?

no it dosen't
Next Time use Gparted to partition the card, and has more options (and it's even not that hard to use).
Well, the phone doe not responds... sounds like a brick, but I read once, that a guy had the same problem like you (altough he did not flash stuff like a mad man ), but after 12 hours the phone just started up from nowhere and it's working ever since.

makes no sense. there is NO such thing as AlphaRev RECOVERY. Alpha rev is a way to make your device S-OFF. it cannot in anyway be a sub for a recovery.
the number u wrote (2.5.1.3) would suggest that u had ClockworkMod recovery. any other option is AmonRa recovery.
"i decided to go back to defrost as i like the interface better. I downloaded Clockwork mod recovery from xda.richardtrip.org and flashed it"
again i dunno what u mean by that. if you were runnig a custom ROM u had to have some recovery (clockwork or amonra) so if u wanted to change a ROM u just needed to put it in your SD card and flash. it just makes no sense, do some reading and then try to tell us what did u exactly do with your phone
Hi all,
I'm asking for help because I don't know how to unbrick my desire.
I've search the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034956,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948769) but can't find a safe way to do it.
My phone is not branded , rooted, S-ON and I was running RCMiX 2 A2SD.
This afternoon I turned of my phone to get the SD card for a backup of my photos.
After removing my SD I have pluged the battery and the phone have started to boot from itself but my SD was not present. So I unplugged the battery.
After putting back the SD I tryed to start the phone and I was stuck on HTC screen.
Then I try to go HBOOT and it has searched "PB99XXX" files 4 times during 30 or more minutes.
Then I went into recovery but get the phone with red triangle. I had clockworkmod before.
how can I do?
thanks for your help.
Edit: If this might help I got Stock HBOOT 0.80
I had forgot about the "vol up + power" manipulation to see recovery menu...
silly me...
I've finaly managed to go into clockworkmod and then do a full data and cache wipe and finaly reinstall my RCMiX 2 HD rom.
Sorry for the bothering.
I've tried searching, but there are so many "variances" in my situ. I figure I'll never find a complete answer.
Contract is up, so I would like to get it back to unrooted, stock with stock recovery.
Background
I got the EVO 4G in December, 2010, I honestly do not recall whether I used Unrevoked or Revolutionary to root it. I thought it was Unrevoked, but found a Revolutionary folder on the PC, it's had ROM manager and CWM since the beginning.
In the two years I've had it, I tried a few ROMs. The last one started getting buggy last month, so I installed a rooted stock rom 2.2.
I installed a stock unrooted ROM 5.07.651.1, then flashed stock - recovery.img.
HBOOT 2.10.0001 S-OFF
After that was all complete, everything looked good...
I did vol down - power and got the red triangle & exclamation point.
The next day I simply turned the phone on and got the red triangle & exclamation point.
Did a battery pull, waited 5 mins same thing.
Waited an hour, battery back in and powered up fine, except I ran Root Checker and it still had root.
I reinstalled ROM Manager and CWM to be able to look at things closer.
Now, I get the red triangle & exclamation point intermittently on boot-up and everytime I try to do a recovery after vol down - power press or through ROM Manager's "Reboot into Recovery" option.
At this point, I'm in over my head, I don't want to brick it, so I'm looking to more experienced folks for help.
Thanks In Advance,
Can you boot into CWM, or is that when you get the red triangle? Sounds like you need to reinstall your recovery. I (and many others) prefer an Amon Ra-based recovery, like Smelkus, over CWM on my OG EVO. Do a search for it here on XDA.

I got the red triangle (as expected) doing vol down & power on. Did not expect it after volume up and power on, CWM would not load either.
The issue was something was corrupted.
I did an RUU with an older version of a stock ROM and recovery, now all is well.
Thanks,

Don't know what you mean by "my normal recovery" but the red triangle is stock recovery, press vol up and power to bring up stock recovery option menu.
If you talking about custom recovery, like TWRP, that would have been removed by HTC during the repair. You need to unlock the bootloader, and flash TWRP back to the phone.
Did the phone ever work when you got it back from HTC? Or was your first time powering it on, with the SD card inserted?
For the RUU, make sure HTC drivers are installed, try a different USB port and different cable. Win7 and USB 2.0 have the best compatibility with RUU.
