+1 he may be able to fix your problem or even get you another rom, at least be able to restore you back
yeah. I wouldnt mess with anything just yet. Make sure he wipes too.
Sheesh people...it takes two minutes to type out the directions to restore a nand. (With respect to the OP, it only takes 30 seconds to perform a search.)
I'll make this as painless as possible.
1. Look in your apps for Quick Boot. If that is not in there, go to the market and download it.
2. Once you open quick boot, select recovery.
3. Hit Vol. Down until Nandroid (or backup/restore) is highlighted
4. Press the power button
5. Select restore nandroid by highlighting and pressing the power button
6. On this next screen there will be a bunch of numbers and letters...just select it with the power button.
7. On this next screen is a list of the back-ups. If there is only one, just hit the power button and then hit it again to start the recovery. If there are more than one, select the most recent and hit the power button and then again to start recovery.
8. Select reboot device from the main menu.
Super simple, right? PM me or post with any questions. I may be off a little on the eact names on the selections, but if you can follow directions to pick your nose, you will be just fine.

Hye guys,
When i wiped my rom, backuped my current and installed the new CM 6.1 RC, i am stuck at boot-loop.
The cm mod logo just reappears, and nothing further happens.
When i press power and volume down, and choose recovery, i just get this exclamation mark with a triangle around the mark over a desire.
Anyone got a suggestion to what i can do? the led seems to work fine.
Any help would be appriciated.
cheers
I have the same. Tried loading 6.0.2 first which works well but not getting past boot on 6.1

Well that is the standard htc recovery. That is the recovery installed to your phone if you didn't install another one. So if you rooted usings pauls method, you have probably been using fake flash to access recovery. So do the following to enter your fake flash recovery:
1. when on the triangle screen hold "volume up" and press "power button"
2. use volume and power button to select "flash update.zip"
3. now clockwork mod(your normal recovery) should appear, and you can just restore your backup.
Now lets hope you didn't install it in the order you mentioned:

This way your backup will contain a couple of empty partitions.. because you would have wiped it first. I hope you were not that stupid
And a note: please don't mess with things you clearly don't have a clue about. You clearly do not know, what you are doing to your phone and are just pushing buttons according to some guide.

So you wan't HTC to take care of a problem you created by hacking your phone? Take some responsibility and if you dont know how to install roms and how they work. Just don't.(note to OP above also applies to you)
And finally sorry for being a little rough on you guys but seriously such problems could be easily solved by the individual just by reading up on the subject of rooting as the above info should be common knowledge.
Somehow my HTC Desire's screen is not working.
It might be an SLCD brick but I haven't downgraded or anything of that sort, and I rooted my phone successfully a while back.
This started happening when I installed an AOSP Defrost rom onto it. Do they not work with SLCD's ? I'm not sure. But it worked for a while after installation. But a couple hours later, the phone wouldn't wake up.
Everything but the screen works. It seems that I can power it on, and unlock it on the opening screen. It vibrates when powering on and unlocking. I figure if that's the case then I can probably go into recovery or fastboot.
Unfortunately I don't have a goldcard. Nor do I know how to make a gold card. But I really do not want to resort to that. As well it is a Telus model, so until someone releases an RUU for that, I'm out of luck.
Since my phone is black and I can't see what I'm doing. Can someone give me a step by step button procedure on how I can restore my nandroid backup? As said before I have a amon ra recovery and I'm hoping that this can still work.
On a side note, how is Telus on exchanging your broken phone. It's nearly impossible to tell that my phone is rooted because the screen is black. But I no longer have the 30 day warranty so I'm not entirely sure.
Anyways I hope you guys can help me out!
Anyone ?
(Sorry I really hate to bump)
Come on guys, I'm really desperate here
I don't use AmonRa personally, so I wouldn't be able to give you a step-by-step advice =/.
First thing you should try to do is see if you can actually get into recovery, do this by pushing Volume Down + Power to boot up the device, then wait about a minute or two and push volume down, then power button. This SHOULD get you into recovery if you can... you can test it by hooking it up to your computer and seeing if you can toggle the USB mount for the SD Card.
Going from the picture in this thread: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721792), just push volume down once then the trackball button. If that works, you can put a stock SCLD-compatible ROM onto the SD Card and use the flash from zip option (appears to be 4th item in the menu, but whatever steps are required after that I'm not sure on their positions as I'm using Clockworkmod =/).
Or if you remember the menu options that are available afterwards, try going through the backup/restore menu (3rd item) to try and restore from your nandroid backup.
Hope that somewhat helps =S.

Thanks for the suggestions but i still couldn't do it. It's much harder cause you navigate up and down with the track ball instead of the vol up+down in amon ra.
On another note, I went to Telus today, and the only thing I can do, is send it to the service center and have them take a look at it. If they find out that it's rooted then I'm screwed.
I decided to take my chances with the goldcard and if that doesn't work I'll send it and try my luck.
Does anyone have anymore suggestions, feedback on what I should do :S. It's been a week and I have no replacement phone

I tried flashing a RUU but still no luck with the screen issue, however the flash said it was successful, does that mean that i have a stock ROM now, if so it should still be under manufacturer warranty (within 12 months) is this correct?
thanks
Hi im sorry if this question has been asked before..I was trying to install [ROM] Warm Z TwoPointTwo - [RLS 1 - 02/23/2011] - Yabba Dabba Doo via Rom Manager Premium. It started the flashing progress and looked like it was going to go through but then it said installation aborted. The phone booted up and when it got to my home screen it looked like my phone just did a factory wipe. All my apps were gone and I had to sign back into google as if I just got the phone out the box. Please help.
First of all WELCOME!!!
Im assuming that you are rooted correctly with s-off so do this for me. Place the .zip of the rom on to your SD card (not in a folder of the sd card, on the root of it) . Now, turn your phone off. Now, hold the volume down button and while still holding press the power button to turn on the phone. You should be taken to a bootloader screen. now press the volume down button to scroll to "recovery" now press the power button to select. Your phone should reboot into recovery. Now goto wipe and wipe the first 3 options listed by pressing the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select. Once completed goto where it says flash zip on sd card (something along those lines ) find your zip then press the powerbutton to select it. Now select reboot or power off phone and you should be good to go with the rom.
Also pat yourself on the back for killing a kitten...
you should have checked this thread out first but your new. So PLEASE, for the sake of the XDA community. Visit THIS THREAD TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS REGARDING ROM FLASHING AND BACKING UP

Welcome. You will like Warm Z, but, in my opinion, you will love Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5, but to each his/her own.
Shut down your EVO. Now press and hold the volume down button and then press the power button. You will enter the bootloader screen. Select recovery. I don't know what recovery you have (Clockworkmod or amon RA) so the menus will be slightly different. I'm an amon RA user. Anyway, select the wipe menu and wipe the following at least twice:
Data/factory reset
cache
dalvik cache
DO NOT REBOOT
Maneuver to the flash menu and then select the rom you're going to flash and flash it. Afterwards, reboot and be patient. You may appear to hang at both the white HTC screen and the Warm splash screen. That's normal. Once you've gotten to your homescreen, login with your credentials. You should be good to go now.
Yes I use WarmTwoPointTwo RLS 5 as well. Great ROM with sooo many customization options. I attached a screenshot of my main screen. See all the transparency with beautiful widgets live weather wallpaper? I love it!!!

I tried your method and the message i got in recovery is
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Andriod 1.5
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation Aborted.
ok I think I've seen this before. check this thread out that should help (post 3). Post back to let us know, then we can go from there.
ok it seemed to work this time. i had to choose a different recovery but now im at the warm z boot animation screen....just waiting for it to go to the home screen. thanks for all your help guys
exactly how long does it take to go to the home screeen

Upon first load it can take up to 5 minutes....any more than that you probably have a bootloop, so re-flash then install the rom again.

YAY!!!!!! The first initial boot may take a few minutes just be patient just as you been thus far.
After it boots up your good to go! Might want to install titanium backup premium for your apps so when you flash other ROMs you can easily batch restore your apps.
Also, Once you customize the rom to your liking reboot into recovery and do a NANDROID backup. Once you have a backup you can flash other roms and if you dont like them all you have to do is a NANDROID Restore and you will have everything back to normal as if you never flashed anything at all
So have fun and try different ROMs, a caveat it is ADDICTING! Ask anyone here. So good luck and try Warm twopointtwo (see my signature)

Flash amon RA 2.3 and get in the habit of not using ROM Manager. It is far too easy and effective to do your flashing directly from within recovery. Be sure to make a nandroid backup everything you make a significant change to your setup because you can always nandroid restore to what you had prior to the changes you've made.

No Problem, Glad we could help and thanks for posting your question in the Q&A and not the General Forum.
Just a quick post to all of you who are having this issue. This may be a repost, but I'll give the solution anyway.
If you have this issue after flashing Cyanogen Mod 6.1 or 7 just perform these simple steps to correct it.
First (if you haven't already), remove your battery, it won't hurt anything.
Second, replace the battery, hold down the volume down bottom and press the power button once.
(You may release the volume button once the bootloader screen appears)
Third, wait until it checks the MicroSD card for an update file, then using the volume down button, highlight "Clear Storage" and hit the power button once.
Once it reboots Cyanogen should load right up. Hope this helps someone!
Just wanted to say I believe its volume down + power to access the bootloader. Hope this helps.

Your absolutely correct! That was my mistake. Thanks for the warning.
No problem. Good info to know though. I've never really had any problems with CM7 but I've wondering if clearing data in bootloader as opposed to recovery might work as well.

I know a lot of people have had this problem. But not all, I guess its subjective.
But I have definitely had this problem, both with version 6.1 and with 7.
I love the Cyanogen Mod! What a difference that makes with Android.
The main reason I switched was because I wanted ad-hoc network options.
I soon realized it was so much more than that though!

I have followed these instructions but it either takes me back to the HTC Incredible splash screen (and hangs again) or to a Clockwork menu (black background with orange text). Either way my Incredible is still not booting back up. Help?

I'll be glad to help you. I don't have an Incredible anymore, but this is fairly universal.
Okay, so what have you done so far, give me the steps you used to flash CM.
Also what version of Clockwork and Cyanogen Mod are you using?
Do i need to wipe before flashing rom?
I have tried miui and CM7 both and after it gets down it gets stuck running the bootloader image. I just got the phone rooted and want to try a rom out, but i am having troubles...
Is good Rom cyanogen?,have htc sense 3.5?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hello everyone!
I've been trying to find anything about this issue, but nothing seems to work.
I had OTA 2.3.4 android on my t-mobile g2. So i have decided to downgrade it, to install CyanogenMod.
So I followed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Everything went fine.
Then rooted it following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting
Then this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Radio_and_CyanogenMod to install CyanogenMod, but ClockworkMod doesn't seem to work. When I do Wipe data/factory reset, anything in Clockwork doesn't work. Even reboot or power off. This icon with yellow cirlce with hat on it comes on and does nothing. I waited like 20 mins, still nothing. If I push power button it goes back to clockwork recovery with all these options, but nothing isn't working.
I installed it using Rom manager, so its last version 5.0.2.0 (first i had 3.xx version but it acted the same way).
(oh by the way, i tried update it using OTA update from air, it freezes when HTC logo comes on and does nothing, factory reset is the same way)
I have root and S-OFF.
Please, guys help!!!
Disregard this first stuff, although it is probably a good idea to use a 3.x.x.x recovery anyways atm.
Are you sure that you were unable to use CWM recovery properly when you were on an earlier version like 3.0.2.4? The 5.x.x.x versions are a bit buggy I wouldn't bother with them at this point.
Go into ROM manager, hit menu > settings > 'Erase Recovery' set to ON.
then, go back to the main ROM manger screen, hit 'All ClockworkMod Recoveries' > select '3.0.2.4' > OK.
You will then see a progress bar at the top, and then a message saying you've successfully flashed recovery. Now power off, hold vol. dn + Power and enter the recovery again. Try doing some functions and see if it works.
Don't try and do a factory reset etc. through CWM if it does work though, the first thing you should be doing is going to 'backup and restore' > 'backup' to make a nandroid backup of this current setup. If successful, THEN you can wipe data and try to flash the CM7.zip.
----------
Not sure if you're aware either... You should be using the trackpad to select items in the CWM recovery. Not the power button (turns on/off screen) or menu button (shows/hides menus) or anything. Scroll with the trackpad and press down to select highlighted items with the trackpad. The only 2 buttons you need in CWM recovery for 99.9% of operation is the trackpad and the 'back' button.
----------
Also as an aside, don't try to accept any OTA's or anything. They won't work and may cause issues when you're rooted.
BTW disregard most of my previous post. I'm 99.9% sure you're just hitting the menu button thinking that its selecting things, but the MENU button just hides the menus, it doesn't select. Like I said, use the trackpad to select the menu items!!!
As I said in my previous post though, I want to reiterate: do a nandroid backup before wiping data. Its just a good idea to have your rooted 2.2 ROM as a nandroid backup to return to if something goes wrong with the flash. Just make it easy on yourself and do a backup, THEN wipe data and flash your .zip.
Duh, stupid me! Its working, actually it was working all this time. I was pushing a wrong button, power button. Use a track pad! Dumba**
Thank a lot!

Of course, glad you figured it out. Be sure to make a nandroid backup before and after flashing CM7 .
