[Q] Problem with unrevoked

Hi all.
I just managed to go back to v2.1 with unrevoked 3.14.
The HBOOT screen is reporting 0.80 back.
When I powercycle the phone with the volume down pressed I go in HBOOT but as soon as I press volume down to reach the "recovery" menu item I get again the flashing of the v2.1.
If I refuse to flash at the reboot I get an "error" icon on the screen and I have to pull the battery to reboot.
Where's my error?

You still have the update.zip in the sd-card?

Do you have usb-cable connected at this point? You should have, if haven't got fake_flash installed.

If the OP has used UnrEVOked, they should have a permanent custom recovery on their device, meaning that the need neither "fake flash" or a PC connected via USB to enter recovery.
To the OP: I've no idea what you are saying when you say that going into recovery is flashing 2.1. If you try to enter recovery, are you see ClockwordMod recovery at all? What options are you selecting?
EDIT: Just thought of something - do you have the PB99IMG file on your SD card? If so, this is what is causing your problem and you should delete it!

Dave

Apart of the radio and the CM update zips I have an mtd0bak.img and a PB99IMG.ZIP in the root of the SD.
Correct, I chose unrevoked in order to have the fakeflash stuff.
I never saw anything similar to Clockwork or Amon Ra recovery stuff. Either reboot, or re-flash the v2.1 or freeze.

I deleted PB99IMG.ZIP.
I booted into HBOOT.
I used volume keys to select "recovery".
I pushed the power button to select and ...
... I went to the green and white screen and then to a black one showing a
red triangle with a red exclamation mark in it.
The background is black with a picture of a Desire ...
the desire to flash CM 6!

if its showing that, then a custom recovery hasnt been applied using unrevoked.....
try it again.
(im getting pissed at unrevoked cause i manged to root 3 desires easily enough and now the 4th one wont work!!! arghhh )

New attempt (with v3.2) worked fine.

Nope, you havent bricked your phone, cuz there is no s-on spl for mytouch slide so it cannot be bricked. I think you got your phone in boot-loop. First, follow this instructions here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713507 and unroot ur phone. It will be back to stock. Then, root your phone again and install cyanogenmod as normal. I hope that will help.

No you didn't brick. And don't listen to this guy. vvvv There's no need to unroot and reroot. Try my instructions below.

Did you wipe and only flash the a2sd package? If so, boot the phone into the bootloader by holding vol. down and hit the power button. When it's done looking for zips on your sdcard (let it), hit vol down to select recovery and hit the power button. The phone will reboot and you'll see a red triangle with an exclamation point. Hit vol. up and power and you'll be in the stock recovery. Use the vol. button to select Install update.zip and hit power. Now you're in clockwork recovery and you can flash CM6.1, GApps and the a2sd package.

Stuck at Green HTC logo after installing ILWT Rom

I've rooted and downgraded my phone from 2.3.3 to 2.2 and it boots in no problem at all however when I go into hboot the volume up and keys do not respond therefore it defaults to fastboot and trys to load the 2.2 image.
There is nothing wrong with the volume keys as I can boot into the bootloader and move up and down that list with the volume keys.
Any ideas how to go about solving this so I can try some of the roms on here.
Thanks

Your post conflicts with itself (the bold). hboot and boot loader and spl etc are the same thing. It's more likely that the trackpad is stuck (power + trackpad = straight to fastboot).
Volume Up + Power is download mode.
If you want recovery it's Bootloader -> Select Recovery.
If you're connected to the computer, and in fastboot mode you can reboot into the boot loader with
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and from there can select recovery.

Sorry meant hboot & fastboot under the bootloader. Both bring up 2 different sets of options. I can use the volume buttons on the fastboot screen but not in the hboot screen so I can't chose recovery.
In any case I installed Clockwork Mod and booted into recovery from there and tried to install the ILWT rom and it seem to install fine however when I reboot I'm stuck with the green htc splash where it is stuck. I've had to flash back to 2.2 as its the only option available to me and need the phone working. Will try again this evening. But this is the second time I've flashed that rom and both times the same result.
I'd previously got this ROM installed and had no problems however my board died so just got the phone back from HTC but having much less success this time.
The bootloader screen info at the top says:
Vision PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.0005
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Oct 11 2010,20:10:38
though that will change when I go back to stock however it was exactly the same last time I tried to load this rom so not expecting any different response this evening when I try again.

I'm not sure what version ILWT is, but if it's one of the ICS roms, and you're using clockworkmod, there is a chance that some of your partitions are ext3 types, and you may need ext4 for a number of ICS roms.
(Some even need the newer 26.13.04.19 radio).

It's a gingerbread rom. Here's details.

Any chance you can grab an adb logcat when it boots up? To least see how far it gets. And have you seen the problem with any other GB roms, like G2Lite etc?

I assume you just mean the rom itself is not rooted, that it's still a unlocked SHIP S-OFF phone with CWM recovery.

I don't think so. S-OFF is now set at S-ON and Clockwork Mod when I just installed the app and clicked recovery it said it couldn't as I didn't have the right privileges.

*facepalm* Why did you do that? You would have to have only flashed the backup copy of your stock rom to get functional in the mean time rather than locking it back up with an RUU update of sort.

Oh dear That's good to know. I don't even have the stock rom so I'll download this evening. That should makes things a little less frustrating this evening.

If you're unrooted/locked again, something to keep in mind when unlocking and rooting it again:
When you get to the point of booting into recovery (i.e.: you already rooted your shipped rom), then you can simply perform a backup first before wiping and flashing a new rom.
That way no re-locking/unrooting will be required next time you want to get back to a functional original rom for your phone (and would still technically be rooted, just with the phone's provided rom).
PS: I recommend using 4EXT Recovery (especially if you plan on using ICS roms in the future), you can either use the free app at http://www.4ext.net/ to install it, or the Recovery Control from the Play Store. That'll help make the backups a bit smaller with the tar-mode (tar's the backup so it's compressed, but isn't backward compatible to say clockworkmod).

OK. When I did the clockwork mod I did chose the option to backup before I flashed the new rom so it should be there however I didn't know how to get back into Clockwork Mod recovery in order to restore it. My problem is that when I tried to install ILWT rom I got the green htc splash screen that it was just frozen on and the only way to get rid of it was to pull the battery. When I hold volume down + power I end up at hboot which only allows me to chose the first option which basically finds PC10 something image which is my htc rom so I just installed it because as I say I didn't know how to do anything else.

When you went back to SHIP/S-ON you most likely also put the original stock recovery on there as well, you will not be able to access that back up until you unlock and re-root your phone (i.e.: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Vision ) and then boot back into recovery (button method is Power + Volume down, then volume button to select Recovery and power button to select it) to perform a restore (though I would back up your stock rom once back in recovery).
The backups are generally stored on the SD Card in the /clockworkmod/backup/ folder , typically as a dated folder under.

Ah that's back to the original problem. When I'm boot the volume up / down doesn't work therefore I can't select recovery so it autoselects the first option which loads the PC10somthing.img (which is the htc 2.2 rom which is unrooted and puts s-on) that's on the root of my sd card however the volume up and down is working the fastboot screen when I used the trackpad + power and that's been my problem. I guess if I named a stock rom PC10xsomething then it would autoselect that so I don't end up in constantly cycle of rooting and unrooting. Will see this evening.

There should be no PC10IMG.zip on the SDCard if you're already done flashing what needed flashing. Otherwise you'll keep getting stuck there.

OK - been a bit busy and had to abandon my attempts until today. Probably best thing as I discovered that I could get into clockwork mod recovery from a hung htc green logo screen by pulling the battery and then putting it in again and just hitting the power button without using the volume down button.
From there I had a backup of my rom from before which I used and a ran no problem so just spent time doing a titanium restore. So back up and running again.
I might give ICS a go if the driver issue with the camera ever gets resolved as I still use my camera, usually for document scans, quite regularly.
Thanks for taking the time in trying to get me sorted.

Did you make sure to remove PC10IMG.zip from ur sdcard???

Wildchild v3.3 ROM issues

Alright guys,
I've recently changed from Cyanogenmod 7 to Wildchild v3.3 and am having substantial issues trying to remove it. When booting without being plugged in, the boot animation plays non-stop (not quite a bootloop). When plugged in it boots normally but when unlocked it will not display the home screen and will remain black with the status bar at the top. This is accessible and so are basic functions.
I cannot use the keyboard as it does not display, all apps wont load and force quit and personalisation in the settings menu is borked too.
I understand I've loaded a dodgy ROM so lets steer clear of that. but now I cannot boot to bootloader or recovery mode, even with fast boot turned off. I can however boot the safe mode. If anyone can point me in a direction of how to flash a new ROM remotely or find a back door to recovery mode. That would be just swell
Cheers boys.

I think u need to reflash recovery. Also format the system, data partition manually after u flashed recovery. Wipe data, dalvik, battery stats and install again. Are u s on or s off u, need to post these specifications when posting problem.
The plugin boot thing only happens if u flashed wrong ruu. Anyways first do the above thing and also let us know ur specifications.

Dont panic. You can flash via adb. You are s-on and nothing can go wrong. You should not have entered into the safe mood. Because it by definition would try to restore original htc recovery that is it has already killed the custom recovery. Its no big problem. If u flash recovery it will be ok.
Just install android sdk tool and flash custom recovery. I guess its already installed if u have rooted ur phone yourself. If not wait a little. I gotta search for the post with which i enabled adb. Wait OK? Did U apply any RUU?
Edit: Are U sure that u cant enter into hboot mode means after turning phone off if u press vol down+ power nothing happens???
Edit: See this video and follow the instructions And flash recovery with help from here no.4 read the full post to be safe.

I've tried both now and it just boots to safe mode, there are no additional details on start up, only the boot animation. Which runs for AGESSS. Still can only access settings and phone, keyboard doesn't work and cant access apps or home screen.
What should i do now?

1. Download the attched file. Put it in your memorycard.
2. Press and hold Power with volume down pressed for 5 seconds
3. Wait while it completes loading, it will ask in the screen, press volume up.
4. Remove the PG76IMG.zip from memorycard.
5. Now again Press and hold Power with volume down pressed for 5 seconds and select recovery from the screen (select using vol up & down, select using power.) You should be in the recovery.
If it does, its fixed. U can flash new roms, instructions should be in the rom posts. Look in development section.
Edit: If U see ***LOCKED*** above MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL in your HBOOT screen, means U need to unlock ur bootloader. In that case I'm pretty sure U had applied wrong RUU. Anyways that can also be fixed with some extensive research....

im pretty sure if your s-on it will not allow you to flash the wrong ruu. but sounds like you had a borked recovery, reflashing recovery than your chosen ROM should fix it.

Above where it says FASTBOOT and such, there should be some other identifying information. It will say S-ON or S-OFF. However, if you used AAHK, you should be S-OFF. What happens if you say no to the update and choose RECOVERY? (Use volume keys to move up and down.) Does ClockworkMod start?

its says S-Off,
i did use AAHK
I press the vol buttons but nothing seems to happen, but after 5 seconds it goes to the update screen, and if i press vol up or down, then it recognises im pressing the buttons.
Then info at the top is:

After you refuse the update, try to navigate to RECOVERY. If that works, you can then flash your ROM from inside CWM Recovery. It could just be a bad flash. If that still doesn't work, the download is probably bad. Just redownload it and reflash.

If i refuse update, the only option that i can press is press power off for reboot. Thats it, there is no way to press recovery, unless i can go back to the first screen? but there is nothing visual that lets me do that.
I think im going to cry haha

My bad, I forgot that happens. Hey, don't worry. If I can't get it working, there's hopefully someone here who can.
Try moving that zip off the sdcard root. You should be able to do that with adb, which you should have with AAHK. ADB instructions are at the thread in my signature. Or, if you have an sdcard reader, use the to get the zip moved off the sdcard root. Place it in a folder in the sdcard.

I'm being startlingly stupid. Try removing the sdcard altogether and boot into HBOOT. After it boots, replace the sdcard and boot into recovery. Does that work? From there, you should be able to move the zip.

Hi, when i remove the sdcard I can now move the vol buttons up and down and i put the sc card back in before pressing recovery, same thing happens goes to htc startup then browns out then black screen, tried again without putting it in and same thing.... so do you think i just need to remove update.zip?

I think moving update.zip will at least help you figure out whether you have a working recovery. I'm not sure if you're getting into recovery; if you aren't, try booting into recovery before inserting the sdcard, then mounting it in recovery if it doesn't do so automatically.

Try entering recovery before putting the sd card back in.

Just so I'm clear. You're rebooting while holding power+volumedown without sdcard, getting into HBOOT, and selecting RECOVERY. It then goes to the HTC splash screen and fades to black. Is that accurate? You're never getting into recovery?

The only thing I can think of is that you need to flash a recovery using the hack kit. When you ran the hack kit what happened?

I should have asked this first. I just assumed that since he was S-OFF and had gotten into CWM that AAHK ran fine. Sorry about that, OP.

When i used the hack kit. It was fine, i was on a higher software version, so i used the hack kit to downgrade, then used it again, and did everything, set the phone up, installed clockwork mod, then downloaded a rom in the original post, then went to update. seemed to update fine, after the rom installed it said press install success, press power to reboot. then thats it!

Teichopsia's right, then. You need to flash a new custom recovery.

I got all the way to flash a new ROM in clockwork mod, then i got to the very end, said reboot now. I did now it hangs on the HTC screen, then vibrates once, then fahes into a dark brown screen, then just a black screen.
