[Q] Help!!! Cannot Boot Slide - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my slide months ago and have been installing new roms regularly using Rom manager and manually by booting into recovery.
I just downloaded and installed cyanogens new 6.1.1 release and when I booted the phone I get the usual request for me to allow Google's locations services and I click ok. Then I get touch the android to begin screen and when I touch the android, nothing happens. I did this over and over. just stuck.
So I just figured I would restore my back up via nandroid... I tried to reboot into recovery and pressed Vol down and pwr. I am only getting the choices of
Fastboot
Recovery
Clear Storage
Simlock
I select recovery and I get a triangle with an exclamation point.
And now I am stuck What happened?? More importantly, What do I do to fix this??
Please help ASAP I am very nervous!!

When you go into recovery, aren't you supposed to then hit Vol Up and Power and then wait a bit?

When I prees up then power it just boots into the "touch android to begin " screen that does not work

when you get the exclamation triangle you press vol up + power and then select apply update.zip, then you can restore your nandroid... your only problem here seems to be a bad flash, just wipe and reflash cm6 or restore the nandroid... obviously you are doing something wrong when trying to go into clockwork recovery so dont panic and do it as you did when you flashed the rom man

God Bless you. It's Fixed and restored!!!!! Thanks a ton!!!!

Optical Trackball not working in recovery and stuck in the HTC boot logo

I don't know what to do because my device is currently not booting. The device is stuck at the HTC logo for a very long time (both when booting normaly or going in to revovery). The device finaly is finished booting in like 10 min. , but when it is finnished booting the touch on the screen doesn't work, it keeps a black background and it says no service. In revovery on the otherhand the optical trackball doesn't work anymore, the hardware button does tho because the first option "Reboot system now" does work.
What should I Do???

Have you tried using the volume up / down buttons for moving around the menus and power button for select in recovery?

The volume up/down buttons dont work in recovery
Now its just stuck in a bootloop .
And there is no way of wiping the device, because the trackball isn't working.
hep would be greatly appreciated
The first thing I would try is to remove the SD card and see if your phone boots.
If that doesn't work. Have you tried putting fake flash on your SD and booting into recovery on that to test your trackpad?
Why has it started playing up in the first place? Did you have a bad flash? A wee bit of the history of your device might help to find out what's going on.

the trackball isn't working in the fakeflash. The whole problem didn't happen after a bad flash, but it just went in a bootloop when i tried to put it on this morning. I was running Defrost 1.4
You don't need trackball in the fakeflash. You navigate there using volume up and down. It should work. Try .
How about resetting it by doing the following.
Switch it off, or remove battery > Hold volume down and power button > wait a few seconds > use volume to go to clear storage > power button to select. This doesn't involve going into recovery so your buttons might work there.
Can't you get into the bootloader mode with vol. down + power and wipe it there?
Edit: Few secs too late heh

You need the trackpad to select the option after choosing it with volume up/down.

No, it says clear...... and then it just restarts the bootloop
The fake-flash worked!!!!!!!
I deleted everthing there but now, when I boot up the device it boot up straight into fastboot
You could try now using an ruu to flash. Or try getting into recovery and see if you can use the buttons now.
I'll try a ruu, but the recovery still wont work

The Ruu doesn't boot past the quietly brilliant signiture.
Now the official RUU is doing a bootloop...

Not the greatest most useful first post I've seen.
Im having the same issue. Phone locked up pulled the battery and phone stuck on HTC boot logo. Can get into recovery but no buttons are working so i cant recover. That actually happened before but i could get it sorted by flashing using rom manager as i could boot the rom.... Where can you get fake flash?

version I currently have, maybe not the newest (0.14), but works just fine.

HTC Magic Recovery Wont boot

as the title says the recovery wont boot using rom manager
it will either
1.) reboot loop 3 or 4 time before restarting or
2.) go to a screen with the android ad an exclamation mark in a triangle
i also can not manually boot it into recovery by holding home+ power
any advice is greatly appreciated
ps im a little noobie ish
press the HOME + POWER...
Once you on the "exclamation mark in a triangle" screen press the HOME + POWER key to get the recovery menu. As far I know this means something about the ROM signature not being there or something.. I'm just learning myself, but I have been there before... so you just need to restore the backup image and you should be back to normal. Good luck.
I'm unable to apply a custom ROM myself... everything works but a custom ROM... can't figure it out yet.

are you using a htc magic runing android 2.1+
Well if you cant get it working reboot phone manyally... lol

Give us more details. Did you store a nandroid backup or something? bootloop ocurs if:
-you restore a nandroid backup of an earlier rom but you're on a latest rom
-you did a nandroid backup of 2.2 rom and let the phone boot first time without taking the battery out and directly flashing a 2.2 rom
I'm not sure about the 2nd option but i think you can try flashing very latest rom...but i don't think it'll have downgradability so you'll be stuck with it unless a more latest version comes out
wipe the data in stock recovery and reboot

1. Switch off the phone completely
2. Hold down key and then press the power button to turn on the phone until a character with an exclaimation mark (!) shows up.
3. Press up and down simultaneously to enter the stock recovery.
4. Navigate to clear data/cache and press power button to select.
Hope this helps...

You will have to install a new sbf...
For that you need to go to bootloader (Power+volume UP)
Install RSD Lite and flash the new sbf!
It may fix it..
EDIT!!
Try Power and Volum Down and if you see an android with a yeallow triangle, Press the buttons as mentioned in the post below and you'll go to stock recovery.
Try volume up and down really fast. Not touching bottom corner. I don't even have my Defy yet but I'm sure I read this!
Sent from my Blade using XDA Premium App
fast response, ill try that im not sure if it replaces the boot screen tho thats the problem on my phone i tried to installa dif one but im flashing the 2.2 sbf tho
yay thanks so much i reflashed it and it works fine, but if anyone could help me get my recovery menu back i would greatly appreciate it so i can install roms
you'll have to root and reinstall recovery again

To get CWM recovery back you'll need to root. (use SuperOneClick)
Then Install Sd recovery (hhttp://tinyurl.com/3dbqefx)
Install recovery and done!

[Q] Stuck on HTC Logo after JB update

I've recently got the JB update so I installed it, or atleast tried. Because when I try to turn on my phone again it gets stuck on the HTC logo (White screen).
I think somehow my battery went down during the installation and now I can't access my phone anymore.
It's a clean phone, no costum ROM and I haven't rooted it in any way.
Is there a way to fix my problem? (Preferably withour rooting it.)
I tried holding the power and volume down buttons and then selecting recovery but that doesn't work as I just end up getting stuck on the black screen with the Red triangle.

Try going into HBOOT
Hold down Power button & volume down buttons together when the phone is switched off. This will take you into HBOOT.
Select Recovery using the volume down button and press power to select it.
Hopefully it is able to recover and re-flash the firmware.

Doh missed that bit Sorry to be of little help. Hopefully someone else can proffer a solution.
if it's an unrooted phone, HTC have been very good at fixing phones bricked during OTA in my experience (2 day turnaround)
When you see the phone with the red triangle before you want to enter the recovery press vol - and the power button.....or at least the vol - button. Can't recreate it as i am on a custom recovery. You will bypass the red triangle and will enter the recovery. Maybe a cache wipe wil do, or a factory reset !

I've tried the factory reset be just like the normal boot it gets stuck on the HTC logo.
Clearing the cache might work but doesn't your phone needs to be rooted for that?

I cant recall if wiping cache is an option in the stock recovery !?
One can erase cache using 'fastboot erase cache' after getting the phone to restart in fastboot mode. See here and go to the 'Try this first' section. Hope this helps.

Sounds like hboot version problem with JB upgrade, what version of HOX you have? what version of hboot? , maybe we can unlock your phone and recover the system with custom rom and then rollback to stock rom.
