Hi guys, i am a newbie here.
Last night i was trying to root my desire using unrevoked. I followed the guide from XDA step by step and everything seemed fine until word "done" appear in unrevoked.
After that, desire supposed to enter recovery mode and clockworkdmod but there was nothing appear in the screen. My desire suddenly shut down.
Can you tell me what am i suppose to do then because i want to put custom rom in my desire and now there's nothing i can do because it can't enter recovery mode (it only able to enter bootloader or Android OS itself).
Thanks

when you are in boot loader, use the volume down key and goto recovery and git power button. you should then be taken to clockwork recovery. this is where you can select your rom from SD card and flash
I've tried to do that and now it stuck in HTC Logo. Doest it mean i've to try unrevoked again or simply unroot it?
try rebooting by taking battery off. i'm not an expert but you might have to do it manually using the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
did you install the unrevoked drivers?
Okay i will try. Btw, in case i want to unroot, can you tell me where i can get "RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179" ? The link from XDA seems down and i can download any.
Me and another member have encountered the same issue, seems there's some bug in HBOOT or something.
Boot into Android, go to Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset. Once you confirm it, it will reboot your phone into Recovery.
BUT, unless you re-format (partition) your SD Card, you won't be able to get back in again (unless you do the Factory data reset again).
This seems to happen randomly. Right now I can get into Recovery just fine. But once the bug occurs, the only way to get it to stop is to format your SD card.
Now i am thinking to unroot it than trying to do the whole rooting step all over again. Can you tell me where i can get the RUU for HTC Desire Asia

Okay, i've done unrooting with HTC Desire RUU Asi and what happen now my SLCD is brick. I am really hopeless right now because guide for "SLCD Brick" doesn't even work in my phone because once again my htc can't enter recovery mode ><
"I am trying to use the guide from sprinker right now. Hopefully it will work"
when you are in hboot the volume down/up button work?
Hi all,
I also have the problem that I can no longer enter the recovery mode on my desire.
Basically, whenever I am in the bootloader menu (either by pressing vol-down+power, return+power, or via ROMManager) and then select "recovery" I get right back to the "fastboot" screen.
I tried uninstalling/installing/upgrading ROMManager and also tried flashing clockwork via the newest version of Unrevoked (downloaded yesterday).
Nothing helps :-(
What I didn't try, yet, is reformatting my SDCard or resetting my device via "Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset". (I don't want to install all my apps >again<; I'm also a bit afraid that I break something an then cannot even reflash using recovery).
Here is some more info about my device:
- Flashed rom: Leedroid 2.1a
- HBOOT 0.83.0001
- RADIO 5.10.05.23
I would be really greatful if anyone had a solution for this problem.
P.s.: in case I HAVE to reset/format: can I somehow make a backup of all my apps&settings?
Hi all, I have the same problem now.
Everything works, after s-off, except I can no longer enter Recovery - any solution?
I didn't find an easy solution. I had to do the following (some steps might be optional but I wanted to be sure):
- Formated SD card (ext3 and fat partition)
- Complete reset via RUU (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe)
- Using unrevoked to reinstall recovery rom
- Reinstalled my custom rom (Leedroid)
Now everything works.
BTW: via TitaniumBackup I could backup all my apps and data quite easily. Didn't expect it to work that well
thanks- what about s-off - is it working now for you?
"s-off" = ?
I Have a similar problem... I can't enter recovery. When i press "recovery mode", I just get a black screen with a phone and a "!" in it.
Have to pull battery to reboot desire.
I have formatted sd.
Quite annoying, cause I need to wipe my battery stats, and I don't know any other way to do it, than going to recovery.
I tried to update ROM to Cyanogenrom which was unsuccessful - just get boot loop.
I also get the same 'red triangle with exclamation mark on phone' icon when trying to go to recovery mode.
So now I have a Desire which boot loops and cant enter recovery mode ...
anyone know how to get out of this one?
This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
This should bring back your phone to stock. Root your phone again after it is done
i have the same issue. but i got stuck when trying to partition my sd card. Now i can't enter Android itself only the bootloader. But i also lost my clockwork recovery...
it keeps looping the HTC Quitly brilliant bootscreen... Forever!
i am now formatting my sd card with my pc. will i then be able to go into recovery again using a zip file from clockwork i found? using this:
fake-flash
Fake-flash is only possible with root access, you need to be rooted to use it. Basically, its a way to have recovery running on the phone without using a PC (making it safer as you are less likely to brick using no USB cable to push files, instead, you push directly from your phone). You can use "ROM Manager" from the marketplace to do this. Simply place the downloaded test recovery image on the phone and the downloaded rom zip (renamed to update.zip) and flash using ROM Manager.
Preperation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then installing a ROM with it?
(sry for bad english)
i'm having the exact same problem. i've tried fake flash and it does nothing for me, so does flashing the clockwork recovery image. the only one i haven't used yet is the downgrade...hope that will help
Last chance i see to save my phone is by posting here...
So, what i did:
1. Downloaded and installed ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8 (com.kb7sqi.defy.boostrap.old.apk)
2. Made a full BackUp (stored on PC and SD-Card)
3. Wipe data/factory reset + Wipe cache
4. Selected "CyanogenMod 7"-ROM for install
5. Install succeded -> chose "Reboot"
6. Defy stuck at Boot-Loop for like 30 Mins.
7. Removed battery -> held volume down + power button
8. NO ClockworkMod showed up ... instead "Android system recovery <2e>" shows up
9. Wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache doesn't do anything at all
10. only other options are "reboot system now" (, which got me stuck at Boot-Loop again) and "apply sdcard:update.zip" (where do i have to get the update.zip?)
So, i tried to connect my Defy via USB (installed Motorola Defy USB-Drivers and RSD Lite (tried 4.7+, 4.9 and 5.0). None of the RSD Lite Versions could recognize my phone while it's in "Android system recovery <2e>". So i can't "flash" a stock-rom (sbf-Files)...
I tried downloading an update.zip (CookieCutter ROM i found in another forum) and placed the file in the root-directory of my SD-Card. When i chose "apply sdcard:update.zip" i get the Errors:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
So please, i need your help... how can i save my phone and put it back into the old state? ... thanks in advance
Quick Edit:
I managed to get into "BootLoader" by holding volume up-button, but as soon as it starts it says "Battery Low - Cannot Program" and exits... i charged my defy for hours... "should" be no problem... if it even charges correctly, i don't know... if i connect it via USB to charge it, i got a white light and black screen... nothing seems to charge at all...
I think there is only one thing you can do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
You defy is not bricked.
But in the state your device is, it cannot charge the battery.
You need to charge the battery with another phone or charger in order to flash an sbf with RSD lite.
Or you can try this hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
It was worked form me some time ago...
Thanks for the hope, i'll try this workaround tomorrow, hope it goes well.
So when i actually get the BootLoader working my PC and therefore RSD Lite should recognize my phone and then i just can flash my device with any official .sbf and it works? And when it's flashed i can reinstall ClockworkMod and install my old backup? :X
Do not be afraid. Your Defy is not briked. What should you do after you manage to charge your phone, if your battery is to low:
1) boot it in stock recovery (Vol Down + Power); the Android with a exclamation mark will appear on the screen; you'll have to press both volume buttons (if you had froyo)/press the right lower corner on the screen(if you previously had eclair)
2) wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache
3) restart your phone in bootloader (Vol Up+ Power)
4) connect it to your pc and start RSD Lite 4.9
5) Flash the SBF with RSD Lite (choose one from this topic, maybe you can find there the version that was on your Defy before you tried to put CM7, you might find there also other useful tips)
To install CM7 you need to upgrade your software to Froyo, if you are on Eclair, then install 2nd Init v1.4.2 from this topic and then install CM7. It won't work without 2nd Init and kb7sqi recovery mod doesn't have also the 2nd Init modules. However before upgrading to CM7 you can read this topic as there you'll find all the steps required to install CM7.
You should borrow another battery or charge using desktop charger first.
Try wipe data & cache first from stock recovery. If it doesn't make any change, you can try flash with full sbf. Once had this problems too. Solved with full sbf flash + wipe data & cache.
Good News, i got it charged with the trick and successfully installed the stock ROM via RSD Lite. But now i always get "MD5 mismatch!"-Error when i want to restore my backup created with Clockworkmod :S...
Check if your folder, where the nandroid is stored, contains any spaces in the name. If so remove the spaces.
Yeah, i already did that and tried to fix it with:
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-05-23.16.30.06
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem but my phone USB-port really doesnt work.
I managed to put the orig. Froyo and changeged the bootlogo but did a mistake with erasing CWM. Now the Defy is stuck in Bootloop.
I can only reach the Bootloader and the Android Recovery System.
I need a working update.zip to flash the phone via SD-card.
Start over again follow forum rds lite sfb flash then root again

I have similar problem. I stuck in boot loop. I am able to go into stock recovery and did a data wipe & cache wipe. Still I am in boot loop. RSDlite also does not shows my phone. Tried in several PCs with different USB cable. But no luck. If there is a possibility to flash stock rom with update.zip, please help me with update.zip. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Guys,
This is my first post and its only in desperation.
I have a HTC Desire. I upgraded to 2.3.3. After reading how unrevoked doesn't work on this, I created a Goldcard and managed (all on my own) to turn the phone to s /off.
Now Im stuck, many threads explain the process in different ways (as most of them related to pre 2.3.3). So do I load a custom rom onto the Goldcard and flash from there? Also, do I need to install a rollback program first or after?
Really sorry for starting a new thread, but you will see by my profile, Ive been at this for two days .
[Takes cover for flaming session]
im no expert, indeed i have only rooted only a few days ago. I was lucky to have a unlocked phone.
I guess to help the more expert in here is maybe if you detail what now shows on the Bootscreen, eg VOL Down + Power button.
Have you now got a custom Recovery installed, the common one is Clockwork Recovery?
I believe, that Revolutionary.io is able to handle 2.3.3... anyway it what i used to Root, and it installed CWR and from recovery i was able to point it to the ROM zip file and it all installed fine.
Now i didnt need a goldcard so i cant really say if there some additional steps involved first.
u need revolutionary to make s-off, then u can root it flashing the super user zip from the documentation, u don't need the goldcard, it will also install a custom recovery
official revolutionary site: http://revolutionary.io
official revolutionary doc: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
complete guide: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/HTC_Desire
don't worry about it, we are all here to help so let me explain some things.
A goldcard is a tool that allows you to use an unbranded RUU on a branded phone, effectively de branding it, as the RUU (Rom Update Utility) ignores the CID (Customer ID) of the device.
To flash different ROM's, you will need to flash something called "recovery", there are many versions, each arguably, or questionably better than the next. In order to flash recovery, you need to download a recovery image.
Download the above file, rename it to "recovery.img" for simplicity, and put it in your C:\
now the flashing process, there are many tools and utilities you can use, but for now, let's just use command prompt as it does not require you to install anything, just as long as you get the commands right. (you'll also need the file I attached [fastboot.exe], just unzip it into your C:\)
Ok, once you've done the steps stated above, turn your phone off. With it off, PRESS AND HOLD the RETURN/BACK key on your phone, and while still holding it, press the POWER key. This will boot you into "fastboot" mode.
Plug your phone in via USB to your PC.
Open command prompt (start menu, accessories, command prompt)
type the following:
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Congratulations, you have now flashed recovery. This now allows you to flash ROM's.
Put whatever ROM you would like on your SD-CARD, I recommend CyanogenMod (for No Sense) or MIUI (For something completely different) or RCMixS for Sense (sense 2.1) (all comes with preference)
To boot into recovery, boot into bootloader, (while powered off, press and hold VOLUME DOWN, and POWER), use the volume keys to navigate, and the power key to select. Navigate to RECOVERY and hit power.
When you are booted into recovery, before flashing a new rom IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BACK UP!!. You can do this in the "backup and restore" menu.
Once you are backed up, go to "mounts and storage" and use "format [partition]" option, to format boot, system, and userdata.
Then, go to "flash zip from sdcard", and find the ROM you have chosen, and wait for it to finish flashing.
Good luck to you
Wow guys, cant thank you enough
I actually had a small amount of brain oozing out of my ears at one point Thanks for the custom info, like I said, the tuts are excellent, but being new, they are a bit irrelevant if you half way through the process. Trust me to upgrade to an 'unrootable' system a week before I decide to root it
I will remove my flame-proofing now
Thanks again

@bortak
Thats only when he have s-off...If i not wrong he have the stock 2.3.3 with no root an s-on

To be honest i would like to get rid of motoblur and did a root and tried to flash CM7, but I must have done something stupid during recovery proces, because my defy is now dead. Originally my Defy ran a 2.1 eclair, but some months ago i updated to 2.2.2 froyo (french version I guess because I got it from the french Motorola website)
RSD Lite (tried 4.9 and 5.3.1) can not connect with my Defy and when I turn it on the Motorola logo is there for 10 sec and then the screen is black for a while until the logo gets back again and this can move on for hours and nothing happens.
I can only enter android recovery mode 3e and the bootloader page, but on the bootloader page it says that the battery is to low for programming, so now I am not sure if I can bring my Defy back in business because of a low battery.
I have tried several update.zip on the sd card as described, but it seems that I am not doing it right. Please somebody help...
Since you still have CWM recovery (push volumn up when the led lights blue), flash CM7.1 stable from the following page. It should fix your problem.
CM7.1 stable:
download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=umts_jordan
By the way, I think the correct use of RSD lite is to enter bootloader and connect it to your computer.
still not working
I am not sure what you want me to do - can you describe the blue led - when will it appear.
Instead I tried the downloaded update.zip on my sd-card which you advised about. I made a factory reset, then applied for it on the sd-card. But after finding, opening and verifying the update package it said failed to verify whole file signature and installation aborted. So I am open for more ideas, because my phone is besides the recovery page still dead.
You need to flash through rsd-lite
Enter bootloader mode (volume up+ power)
download sbf file
Flash through rsd
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
How are your Defy? Its still brick
First, you must have Multi purpose charger for charge your Defy battery
Then you must try to enter to stock recovery, to wipe data and wipe cache
Fianlly you must enter to Bootloader and try to flash Rom 2.2.2 SBF file with
RSD lite
If RSD lite cannot connect your Defy, you should try re-install Motorola USB driver and RSD lite again
After restart your commputer, try connect your Defy and flash SBF

It all goes like this - I wanted to root my WPS to solve space problem, although, there was a solution for it without rooting, I figured I will be wanting to use some apps that need root access and some roms sooner or later.
So I did a search and found few ways to root my phone. Being a lazy ass I decided to use "the simple" one click solutions - gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) or Root Unlocker (http://www.unlockroot.com/) This was no success. Gingerbreak kept rooting when I launched the app, but Root Unlocker displayed " FAIL TO GET SHELL ROOT". I figured that problem with Gingerbeak might be that I updated the software to the latest version -
Then I went on and tried another tutorial(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275). Everything was fine till I selected Recovery from bootloader. It got stuck with white HTC logo. Took out the battery tried to use newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery, but still was a no-go. I also can't do a factory restart. I can't do it from bootloader or settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset. (But could do it at first. Before trying to root my device I did a factory reset once.)
Is there a way to use another Recovery (not CMR) or force Recovery from fastboot? As I found there are some other people that got stuck with similar problem.
Other problems:
My phone doesn't show up in HTC Sync. Althought, when I tipe adb devices in cmd, it shows up. I did turn my AntiVirus off when I installed HTC Sync, but it still didn't display my phone.
I also found that I can't boot when I connect powered off phone to my pc. I have to take off my batery.
Here are my specs:
Model HTC Wildfire S A510e
It shows Marvel in bootloader.
Phone was S-OFF when I bought it.
Android 2.3.5
HTC Sence 2.1
Software number 2.26.401.3
I bought my phone without a contract from a local internet shop. I am from Baltics.
The phone might be somewhere from Europe.
My bet would be Poland. (guessing that manual language is Polish, but I might be wrong)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE!
I took the original recovery img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426611 and flashed it. All went well. I did a restart (after doing this I was able to boot power my device while connected to pc) and had another try with CMR recovery, but it didn't work. I also I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406321 recovery img, but it didn't help, I still can't get into.
How to root Wildfire S S-OFF the easy way
First download this
Put it in your memory card
then press and hold voldown+Power
It will load the bootloader follow the instructions on the screen and update accordingly
Then Turn off
Remove that PG76IMG from sdcard
After that download this and put in your memorycard and update same way, it will flash the CMR5.0.2.8 (after flashing dont forget to remove this PG76IMG from sdcard as well).
Now download this put it in your mmc and flash this from recovery.
Done.. U have successfully rooted Ur S-OFF device Now In CWM do factory reset install new custom rom according to the way devs say. I can assure U that this process will even remove Ur white screen
im stuck too on the recovery s-on btw and bootloader unlocked
ME TOO
but i m s-on
Same problem here, unlock by htc-dev worked. Recovery flashed but device stays stuck on the HTC logo. So my daughter's phone is unlocked but that's it.
Thanks, but now I am simply stuck with white htc logo on black background with purple line after entering recovery.
There might be another work around with fastboot, but also have a fastboot remote: not allowed.
Let me know

I dont understand. If ur splash screen changed means u have installed cwm. Just select recovery and install a rom. Like this one
Download the rom. Put in ur sdcard.
remove battery
press vol down+power
press vol down
press power to select recovery
In recovery to move press vol up/down, to select press power
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced>> Wipe Dalvik cache then also wipe battery stats
Go back
Install zip from sdcard
Select the romname.zip put in sdcard
that should be it instructions are also found in that rom. thread so simple!!

Here is a flash file you can try since you are S-Off. It should flash the default splash image, CWM 5.0.2.8, hboot 1.03 and re-calibrate the touch panel.
Hope it works for you.

Problems persist
I have the same problem. My bootloader is unlocked via HTCDEV.com, though with S-ON. In any case...
My WFS is running 2.3.5, it's A510e.
installed recovery image 5.0.2.8 via console (had trouble installing it from the SD card).
each time I attempted to go HBOOT > RECOVERY, my phone would reboot, but would be stuck in black screen with the nav buttons at the bottom lit up (HOME, MENU, BACK, SEARCH).
installed recovery image 6.0.1.0 via SD card, going to HBOOT > RECOVERY will restart the phone, but it freezes on the white screen with the green HTC logo
downgraded to recovery image 6.0.0.3 via console, same problem - frozen on the white screen with the green HTC logo.
at this point, I'm out of ideas, but it seems that recovery image is at fault here?

I have the same problem. My bootloader is unlocked via HTCDEV.com, though with S-ON. In any case...
My WFS is running 2.3.5, it's A510e.
installed recovery image 5.0.2.8 via console (had trouble installing it from the SD card).
each time I attempted to go HBOOT > RECOVERY, my phone would reboot, but would be stuck in black screen with the nav buttons at the bottom lit up (HOME, MENU, BACK, SEARCH).
installed recovery image 6.0.1.0 via SD card, going to HBOOT > RECOVERY will restart the phone, but it freezes on the white screen with the green HTC logo
downgraded to recovery image 6.0.0.3 via console, same problem - frozen on the white screen with the green HTC logo.
at this point, I'm out of ideas, but it seems that recovery image is at fault here?

Is there a way to execute the ROOT.ZIP script on the phone but via the console on PC?

Hi,
I read boot-looped for many in this thread...
I Hope this method would solve all your problems....
Follow and flash these system.img, boot.img and recovery.img file as in the link. (You must have installed .net framework on your PC).

Nope didn't work. I reflashed each of the boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img, manually though, since the utility didn't work for me. To do this, I booted into HBOOT, then FASTBOOT, and ran commands from my machine "fastboot flash <image type> <image.img>", where <image type> is either boot, recovery, or system, and <image.img> is the corresponding image (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img).
It seems my recovery cannot boot from HBOOT. It simply gets stuck.
With clockwork recovery 5.0.2.6, the phone appears to shut off completely.
With clockwork recovery 5.0.2.8, the phone will shut off except the Android buttons at the bottom are lit up.
I don't know if I can use later CW recovery images, but I tried 6.0.0.3 and I get stuck at the white background with green HTC logo when attempting to go into RECOVERY. Downgraded back to 5.0.2.8.
However, I gave the HTC SuperTool v3 another try, and this time it worked. Previously was giving me errors.
So... to those that are stuck, boot your phone normally. Make sure to go into Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging. Also enable 3rd party installs, just in case.
Then proceed to STEP 3 on this page http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html
For those who want more info, here's another thread:

It appears that the latest Wildfire S has a slightly different firmware, possibly for the video chip, which causes the CWM Recovery not to work. Perhaps there'll be a fix released eventually, but for now you can follow the thread above for some possible workarounds and more info.
Try mg all in one tool. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697985
It should sort out you guys problems.

It appears that CWM 5.0.2.8 actually works, but it doesn't provide any output to the screen. With ROM Manager, you can automate starting into CWM Recovery and installing a custom ROM, so it doesn't matter if the screen is blank.
