[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.

[Solved] Bootloop after flash 2.51 -> 3.4.2_155 Fixed sbf

Edit:
Solved bootloop by flashing stock 2.51.1 full sbf.
Then to install CyanogenMod7:
1-rooted with SuperOneClick
2-installed sd-recovery
3-restored 3.4.177-005 nandroid
4-flashed 3.4.177-005 fixed sbf
5-applied CyanogenMod zip in recovery
Hi!! This is my (sad) first post! :'(
My Defy was never flashed and had this stock rom:
JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA030.0R_USAJORDANRTFR_P043_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
I used sbf_flash with 3.4.2_155-Fixed.CEE_DEBLUR.sbf and now my Defy is in reboot loop...
I need to remove the battery to make it stop, because if I put the battery back on, the phone immediately starts to boot!
When I press "power+vol up" to enter recovery, I see a logo like software installing from a box into the phone and then the logo switches to a triangle with an exclamation mark.
When I press "power+vol down" to enter download/usb flash mode, I can see the android robot with the same triangle, like the usual background of recovery mode, but when I touch the screen nothing happens...
Please help me!!! :'(

You should have flash a nandroid first of 3.4.2_155 before the fixed SBF.
But anyways, you could get out of boot loop by flashing the "full" SBF of 3.42_155 or other leaked froyo rom. Refer to walter's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 and download the rom.
After flashing go into stock recovery mode(power+vol down) when the exclamation mark appears press vol up + vol down. Wipe then reboot.

Thanks!!!
But if I flash with a full 3.42_155, I'll lose the ability to downgrade to 2.1 right?
Can I flash JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB 1B80AA030.0R_USAJORDANRTFR_P043_A010_HWp3_Service1 FF.sbf instead to put the phone back to stock?

I was thinking about flashing back to 2.51 to recover the phone(?), then since this rom gives so many problems with rooting and recovery I would perhaps flash "defy_2.21_boot_only.sbf" (How to root UK v2.51 ROM) and hope that I would get a working recovery that doesn't complains when trying to mount sdcard, so that I can do nandroid backups/restores and try to re-flash 3.42_155.
Would it work?

[Q] Make ClockwordMod complete backup?

Hi,
I recently rooted my phone through VISIONary+ r14 and today downloaded ROM Manager. I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, but I can't back up my current ROM (stock/branded). I want to make a complete 100% backup of my current phone to be able to restore later if I need to.
However, I don't know how to do it. There is a 'Backup current ROM' option on ROM Manager, but whenever I do it my phone restarts showing the black screen with the phone and the red Caution exclamation mark + triangle, so I have to hold Volume Up and the Power button to restart my phone.
What do I do?
Also, it may be worth mentioning my Desire HD is a Vodafone Australia branded phone which hasn't been updated at all.

Well, the triangle image thingy means you dont have recovery flashed...
So, you have to choose 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' first. - That wil download a file from the internet and install it for you, so make sure you have internet connection
That will flash/install a recovery for you, in which you can create a backup.
Oh and i think you need to S-OFF your phone before installing recovery (im not sure about that but thats what i've heard)
click here for S-OFF http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 --the last process says that after S-OFF you can install CWM recovery

Can you confirm if you did this separately to ROM Manager or as per above, used the Flash Recovery option in ROM Manager?
Have you confirmed you do have root?
If you reboot into recovery do you get to the clockworkmod recovery screen? What version is it?
If root can't be confirmed, re-do the visionary method. If root is confirmed but can't get to CWM-R do as per above and flash recovery from RM console.

Yes, I can confirm it is rooted.
I just ENG S-OFFed, so I'm going to try flashing recovery once again, although I'm still pretty sure it worked before that since Clockworkmod says "Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6, Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.6"
Will I do damage flashing it again?
EDIT: I pressed Flash ClockworkMod Recovery again and it waited for a little and then said that it was successful.
EDIT 2: Attempting another backup... And it's working!

No, you won't damage the it.
As I fly through different ROM's and do lot's of restores and backups I often have times where I need to reflash recovery.

look uot the link in my signature and try to do what it explanes......
Do all fases of rooting and you will have a perfectly rooted phone.
Also follow suggestions of CodeNameUnknown1.
Try man....Try

Great news!! Glad you got it sorted so far.

So, I have a problem.
I pressed the Backup option in ROM Manager, and the phone restarted, I'm now in Recovery mode... But I have a very strange problem. I can't make any selections.
I can scroll through the menu options fine, but can't select anything. If I press the power/lock button, the menu goes away and the clockworkmod logo in the middle just brightens up. If I press the home or menu buttons, the same thing happens, and if I press them again the menu just reappears. The return and search buttons do nothing except vibrate. What the hell?

That's an odd one.
Can you boot into recovery by turning phone off then holding vol- press power button and go to recovery from there? Does this do the same thing?
If same then I would uninstall ROM Manager and flash the recovery again via fastboot (in which case you can download the 3.0.2.8 version (page 3 ish of the development forum). Then try again.
Then re-install ROM Manager (which will show wrong version but ignore it).

At the moment I'm having trouble trying to turn off the phone at all :S looks like I'm actually going to have to open this horrible battery cover.
EDIT: After a battery pull I tried holding the Vol+ button and power button but it has just booted normally.
I can't actually try the vol- and power because my volume down button simply doesn't work...
EDIT 2: Uninstalled ROM Manager, reinstalled, booted into Recovery Mode, now it's backing up right next to me! Yay!
So I assume that, once it's done, I just take one big file it makes and put it on my laptop or something?
EDIT 3: Okay, one more step and I should be completely rooted with no hassles.
Will this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537) work for a branded phone? It says it requires a stock kernel. My phone meets all other requirements, but is the kernel of a Vodafone AU branded Desire HD 'stock' enough to work with this S-OFF tool? I would attempt it but I'm a little worried I might screw something up.

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Yes, first take out the battery and put it back in. That will make sure the phone is completely off.
Now, hold the volume down button down and whilst holding it down hold the power on button until you see the recovery environment boot up. It is a little menu.
Please confirm if you can boot into recovery.

Yes I can go to bootloader.
I have old version ClockworkMod Recovery - 2.5.*.*
I want to upgrade ClockworkMod Recovery to 3.2.0.0 to flash new rom 2.3
To upgrade clovlworkmod recovery I need to do this steps:
Installation:
1.Power off your DHD
2.Put it in bootloader mode; Power+Vol down and select Fastboot from menu.
3.Plug-in the USB cable.
4.Double click on install-recovery-windows.bat if you're using windows, execute install-recovery-linux.sh if you're on linux or install-recovery-mac.sh if MacOSX.
5.Done! The device will be automatically rebooted.
6.If you want to thank me, click the Thanks button.
?
Or to upgrade Clockworkmod recovery is different way?

yea, thats how you upgrade
But ENG S-OFF is needed

If you use stock rom, then I suggest to go and claim your warranty.. or can go back to the shop get replacement

But you can flash 2.2.1 back from the recovery, can you? If so, you would get a working system back and upgrade Rom manager to the latest version in order to flash the newest recovery from there. Then you can give 2.3 another go.

[Q] Root But No Recovery?

Guys, I just installed a pre-rooted image ( I9505XXUBMGA) and it's working fine, but I have no recovery of any kind? I tried installing CWM by flashing through Odin, but trying recovery keys means it just goes to a black screen and then reboots once you let the keys go and boots into the phone as per normal - also tried installing Goo manager and TWRP but no joy there either.
A bit of an oddity is that after installing the above, I installed ROM manager, which subsequently detects TWRP (even though it was uninstalled at this point) but selecting 'reboot to recovery' means it reboots into CWM!! I definitely can't get CWM through the recovery key combination though....
I'm pretty stuffed without any kind of recovery at all, so am not sure where to go from here? Help anyone?

Instead of holding power + volume the whole time, try letting go of the power button as soon as you feel it vibrate but keep the volume up pressed. Once you see the first splash screen with Recovery Booting in the upper left, you can go ahead and let go of the volume button as well.

Jeez, it's always the simplest of things!! Slightly different than my old S2 then...... thanks, bud, you saved me hours of hair pulling!! Any recommendations for an app that'll detect the CWM? I thought ROM manager would, but obviously not..... not in my case anyway.... not the end of the world, as long as CWM is working, that's the main thing!
Edit: Cancel the above, I got ROM Manager working......
