what?.........
thin about your question, find out what you are talking about, look in the correct thread....
stuff to think about next time
1. what recovery are you talking about
2. what rom are you using
3. what are you trying to do when this happens

You're going to get drilled if I don't say this, so please post questions in the Q&A section from now on (some people are REALLY uptight about that :\)
Anyhow, is it just an aesthetic thing? Or is it actually causing problems?

Don't worry, the mods will take care of it for you

Many things have been changed in new recoveries to make them run faster and work a little smoother.
(Kernel updates within recovery, etc)
I have noticed this too and it is not an issue, don't worry it's common.

its just called screen tearing the easiest and IMO best fix would be to switch to amon ras recovery and itll go away just like that

Yea when I flash clockwork recovery the other day to dl a cm7 nightly it did that and now I'm back to amon ra so my guess is its just cw

what do you mean Amon wont do backups and also if you go into the Amon recovery thread there is discussion about screen tearing. I know people use clockwork but after trying both IMO Amon does it all and seems to be causing way less issues than Clockwork...

[Q] can not boot into recovery?

This is my first post and I was wondering if anyone can help.
I have an incredible, 2.2, rooted, with Rom Manager. I flashed the lastest recovery through Rom Manager but when I try to boot into recovery the screen stays black with a thin white line on both sides. I had some backups from another Dinc I had and took a chance at a restore from one of my older Roms. Although the screen stayed black it did load the backup so my recovery appears to be working fine only I can't see it.
Doing this before I am scared if I load a bad rom or something and get locked up I won't be able to see the recovery to restore my backups. I have tried older recoveries through Rom Manager with the same problem however when I flash RA_GNM Recovery v1.7.6 it works perfectly. Only problem is Rom Manager won't use that.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Search for slcd recovery.

ok now I am really confused. I research the slcd and not quite sure what I have or looking at. How do I know? My old Dinc was literally only about a month older than my previous one. Can you give me a brief "Dumbed Down" version of what exactly this is?
Sorry to be such a newbie.

From what you're describing, your phone has a slcd screen, not amoled. As such, you're going to have a few issues here and there with recoveries as well as ROMS (due to your hardware not being supported by the included kernel). Search the forums for slcd and you'll see suitable workarounds for this.
To see what screen you have... Menu > Settings > About Phone > Hardware Version. If yours is 003, you have a SLCD screen.
Anyone who has the.new guy Rom ..is there a way to get the HTC pot penguin to as my boot image. That penguin is great lol

Just incase anyone is having this problem I did find a site with a fix. Download the file, change the name and flash through hboot. It has worked for me and now I can get into recovery. Here is the link:
**Sorry the site wouldn't allow me to post the link***
Only problems I have now and I am hoping someone can help is that I can't seem to install any custom roms that don't have sense. When installing MIUI or CyanogenMod, etc I get locked up on the white HTC screen.
Anyone know a solution?
http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...nly-see-black-screen-white-bars-recovery.html
That has the custom recovery you need for an slcd screen. I used that exact dl link to get the image. Then i used the unrevoked 3.21 tool to set it to flash a custom recovery then let the tool run. All went flawlessly
*Edit sorry i didn't see you fixed it. As far as cyanogen mod goes, I know it doesn't work with slcd screened incs because we have different display drivers. I believe that is true for all aosp roms. If you want a vanilla feel go with skyraider vanilla 3.0. It works perfectly for me
Thanks for posting that link and the help. I will keep checking to see if a solutions for slcd screens comes around so that I can install some other roms.
I just hate that I thought I upgraded my inc and as it turns out it was probably a downgrade.
To my understanding, I believe all roms work except aosp roms. I remember reading somewhere (but don't remember where) that they were working on a fix. So maybe it'll come before you know it
Koush's test #2 kernel works fine and will boot aosp on my Slcd.
Just wanted to let you know I found a way to make MIUI and cyanogen work on a slcd Dinc. I found the fix in one of the forums so I don't want to take any credit for it but it worked for me so I wanted to pass that info along to anyone else having the same issue.
I downloaded the Koush test kernel from Rom Manager, then I flashed the MIUI rom. Once flashed it gets stuck on the white HTC screen. I pull the battery, go to recovery, and then open zip from SD card. I find the Koush kernel, install, and reboot and it has worked for everything I have tried so far (MIUI and Cyanogen).
Hope that helps someone.

[Q] Rooting random issues?

I'm pretty new to this rooting for Android, I recently got my Incredible.. I used unrevoked to root my incredible. I did it normally like USB debugging and all that. Soon as it started to root it, the phone rebooted itself like it was supposed too, got to the HTC Incredible screen (the first screen on the boot up) and black screen and white bars on the sides. Now I got this phone like November 27th.. and I'm pretty postive my screen is an SLCD? And that seems to be what the problem is with the black screen white bars.. Thing is, of course the black screen white bars stayed there, so I pulled the battery out and put it pack in. It loaded up normally and it seemed to be rooted fine. It had the Superuser (ninja). And everything was normal. I downloaded ROM Manager and then downloaded the Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery, and then I clicked on Cynagen Mod and went down to Google apps. Downloaded it, installed it, then it asked to reboot. ALL OF WHAT I JUST DID, (followed from The Start to Finish Guide to Rooting Your Android Phone, I con't post links yet) .. So as it rebooted it got the HTC Incredible screen (the first screen on the boot up) and it did the black screen white bars. I removed the battery either twice or three times.. And still nothing, I THEN FOLLWED THIS Incredibleforum dot com (I rooted and now I only see a black screen with white bars in recovery.) and went to the Hboot menu and went down to recovery and selected it. It rebooted and still black screen white bars at the HTC Incredible screen. I then tried his other method and went to download that file and went to unrevoked and did the custom recovery and put recovery in the file and plugged my phone in. ( He actually said to like check USB debugging, which I couldnt actually do because I couldnt get to my menu..) So then after plugging it in and showing the orange light for charging. It did nothing other then charge. I turned it on ( I'm pretty sure, it might have turned on by itself) and it worked. It got the menu screen. And everything was the same. ROM Manager was still there, same with superuser. And the 3 game apps that I downloaded before I rebooted for Google Apps. I haven't found Google Apps, I'm not really sure where Google Apps would be anyways.. But what I'm getting at here is, What actually happened????? Why those white bars?? And will this happen everytime I have to reboot? If someone could just give me their best answer or an explanation It would really help. I'm new to this stuff.. But I'm getting nervous with this black screen thing white bars.. and I'm debating wether to just unroot..(how easy is unrooting?).. But my phone is fine now, I haven't tried like downloading anything but everything seems to be working fine.. Where could I find Google Apps? And which ROM? Cynagen Mod Or Bugless Beast.. Please Help
You have an slcd screen. Your recovery is for smiled. Use unrevocks recovery for slcd screens. As I have read you need that one for recovery to work properly. I don't have an slcd so I don't know to much about that end
Just cruise the forums there is tons of info out there.

I had similar issues, and poster above is correct... I was able to flash a modified clockwork recovery to get it working with slcd...but I'm halfway afraid to try any ROM Manager abilities due to the different recovery :>
Just flash the modified Clockwork- very simple and works perfectly. I have the zip if you want it.
Ok cool can I have the zip file? And would I have to like uninstall anything in order to use revoked again?... and just a quick question.. 'recovery' is basically _______?
P.S. Whats like rebooting into recovery

You don't need to uninstall anything from your phone obviously, but I'd uninstall any unrEVOKed stuff from your computer before you do the new version. Recovery is basically the tool that lets you modify the phone. You go there to do nandroid backups and restores, and to flash zips. Let me know if you need instructions on how to apply the fix.
Yeah I'm new to this rooting stuff so if you could just give me a few instructions it'd be really helpful. thanks

1. Mount your phone as disk drive (I'm assuming you know how to do that, if not, lemme know)
2. Move the file to the root of your sd card (not in any folders) and make sure you don't re-name it at all.
3. Disconnect your phone, wait for the card to format, and then yank your battery.
4. Put the battery back in, hold Volume Down+Power.
5. You'll see your bootloader and it will find the file automatically, let it install it.
6. Once it's done, yank your battery again and repeat Step 4.
7. This time, choose not to install it, and instead choose Recovery- should load up Clockwork just fine. Easiest way to access Clockwork in the future is thru ROM Manager- there's an option to boot into recovery.
PS. might wanna check your clockwork version first thru ROM Manager- my version is 2.5.0.5 and I'm not sure if Koush has included the SLCD fix in any of the newer versions, so I'd make sure you have that version before doing this.
From what I gather, the black screen and white bars is the ClockworkMod recovery that you booted into. It works fine, but the SLCD is incompatible with the current ROM Manager ClockworkMod (I have it too, ADB works when it's running). So the display is the only thing messed up.
I'd love to get ClockworkMod to work correctly though. Anyone know how I can flash the recovery to Amon Ra, or get ClockworkMod working? I have a mod .zip file for Clockwork, but I'm unsure on how to use it.
Edit... responded too late. Thanks for the advice!

Didn't see it at the time. I'm still ungodly slow at typing on this, haha.
Do you have any advice on flashing with CyanogenMod? I read the wiki and it talked about updating a radio, but there were several options. What should I be looking for?
I'm kinda terrified trying it with these new SLCD phones, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

i downloaded an app to change the battery icon (i can't recall the exact app). it automatically reboots the phone to make the changes, but when it rebooted it got stuck at the startup screen where is says "Galaxy S" and it does the little vibration like when an app forcecloses.
Anyone know what i can do to fix my phone? i am on a rooted samsung epic 4g

yes i do have Clockwork mod
That app, I believe, is used to grab specific versions of the mod for specific phones with specifc ROMs. Unless you're running the rom required, it will lock the phone like that. You will have to restore a backup through clockwork, you did make one I hope, or adb push the original file back...otherwise its time to wipe and reload.

I've had the battery mod cause me headaches before. CWM restores won't work, you'll need to Odin to revert back. Something to do with where the battery mod files write to.

Screen not working issues..

Using Miui right now & previously on decks. I get this strange screen problem where nothing responds when I touch the screen. I thought it was only on decks & the problem was solved once I got on Miui but now miui is doing it too...What is this issue and is anyone else having it? Sometimes the only way to fix it is a reboot...
Q
looks like ur in the wrong section please post this in Q N A section and follow XDA RULES in about 5 minutes assholes will be flaming you on here
TO ANSWER your question
you probably didnt full whipe or are using clockworks recovery use amon RA for a better wipe
if its not the wipe issue it seems more of a kernal issue so try amon ras recovery and or use one of the many flashable full wipers that the wonderful devs here at XDA have developed try this one
by king
Link to format all full wipe flashable zip : http://www.multiupload.com/42OXEA7YFY
Try turning off automatic brightness and see if the problem persists...
I'm not here to flame you, but what's with all the people posting in the wrong forums lately? Just wondering, because it seems like a recent trend.
I would also go with a full wipe and reinstall to start, and see what that does for you.
I have the same issue. I'm using a little older of a rom, but any rom I go to i have the issue. A quick thing I've noticed.... ANY time my screen starts NOT to work,
I'm able to press PHONE, and number 8, 0, # and * work... thats it.. anything else is a no go. I have to do a reboot everytime when it starts. and when it does start.. its just whenever to turn the screen on to see if i got a text, or go to use something. No clue why but would LOVE to know a reason.
How do I use amon RA instead of clockwork? Also is there any kernel that is best paired with MIUI?
Same here with 1.11.18 nexus S

Can not boot into recovery after rom manager updated my CM9

Hello, Wondering if anyone here could help out. I recently went from MIUI US ICS rom to CM9 and love the latest build of CM9. I had not tried a backup of the rom after flashing to CM9, but noticed that Rom Manager updated at play.google.com and then I decided maybe I should make a backup of CM9 sine it was shaping up pretty nicely as I've been setting up apps,etc.
Well, I can't get into recovery. I can boot into the bootloader and it shows Revolutionary as the boot loader and I can get into Fastboot but if I toggle down to recovery and press the power button it just jumps back to the bootlloader screen. I can't get past this.
I'm tempted to put a different recovery on here now as the rom manager didn't work out even though it came stock on my CM9.
But before I risk bricking my phone, I was hoping someone here could back me up a bit and give me some input. I really don't know that much about this.. I can root phones, install recoveries, etc., but if something goes wrong I'm not knowledgeable enough to actually understand what went wrong and how to fix. I am guessing that recovery is not actually installed here and that Revolutaionary (what I used long ago to get root) wasn't planned to be the boot here.
Help please anyone!!!!!

It's been a while since I've done someting like that. By this you mean place a recovery package on the zip card, press the power button at the bootloader, then let the phone install the recovery when it runs thru the fastboot screen?
If yes, great, I remember that, but which recovery should I download? And what about rom manager on CM9? Does it care which recovery is installed?
I appreciate the knowledge here. IT sure is appreciated when things go wrong for folks like myself!
Oh, I should point out that I can stil boot into the phone and use it. The whole issue is limited to getting into recovery to create and/or restore backups of the rom.

1st off, I should shun you for being corrupt with CWM, but I'll help ya out.
Use the search bar and type in "Smelkus recovery" find a themed recovery zip you like and rename it "PC36IMG.zip" and place on the root of your SD card (in no folders) boot to boot loader and let it search, press volume up to update recovery and boom! You have new, better recovery.
As for flashing CM9, check out Jmzs CM9 nightlies. Its better and (supposedly) almost has Wimax working. Once you flash an Amon Ra based recovery, CWM becomes basically useless. So ditch it for the good of everyone. ENJOY

Well can I pick your brain once more? I decided to update my wifes phone from MIUI to CM9. She happened to have Clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2. on the phone which I recall was put there by whatever rooting routine I used. Before installing CM9, I tried to update the recovery with Smelkus from the clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2 that's on the phone to smelkus, but when I try to flash it, the smelkus recovery just sits there "parsing" so when I bail out and go back to check, the clockwork version recovery is still there.
This phone was rooted with Revolutionary but I notice that S-ON is still active. I read that S-OFF is not necessary to install a recovery --- at least not the clockwork version that is on this phone. I'm not sure if that's causing the problem or not. Any advice?
Try this one. It should work.

Gave it a try, same result. What do you think might be going on? I wonder if I should try and flash it with the same one that's stuck in the phone first then try the others? Clueless really what's happening.

Hello... d-b-s
By chance have you seen this recovery located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29266458
I have a spare evo that is sorta-bricked or sorta screwed, not sure which... It has a SD slot that seems to be locked out. Nothing can be read from it but I did get it working once but lost it. ANd it also doesn't boot unless I have a power plug in it, but otherwise, it works, flashes, etc.. it's got CM9 right now in it but again somewhat useless without the SD memory.... anyhow, it's been a plaything for me figureing I'll either fix it, learn or kill it. None has happened yet.. but in searching for getting a recovery installed that uses the screen hard buttons versus the volume (this rocker switch on volume is broken too), I installed this recovery and it's different than anythign else... fully menuized .. real customized, and thought I would mention it to you.
If you have a look at it, let me know what you think.
Bill.

I'm familiar with twrp. I don't much care for it though. A dew tricks with smelkus is it has touch scrolling, and the bottom buttons work as up+down+back+select..
Also I might know of a fix for the SD card not being read. I'll get back to you with that.

d-b-s,
That would be fantastic if you had a clue on the SD card. I did try a FastBoot string that reset it once the first time and it worked, but somehow I lost it again. I think a corrupt or defective SD card started the whole problem and restarted it when I put it's data SD back in.
Do you ride a motorcycle or have a boat? If so, stop by here please www.streetglo.net and pick yourself out something. I'd like to send it to you. You have helped me more than you know. I can't reciprocate with knowledge but I have other ways.. Let me know what you see you like. Thanks!!!!
Bill
P.S. Yea, I know you don't want anything for your help.. Just pick out something you can use and I'll be a better man for it. At least I think it works that way!

I really appreciate the kind gesture but I wouldn't like anything in return. Helping people with their problems and teaching them what I know is enough of a reward.
Please do me a favor and enjoy yourself. Best of wishes to you.
