So I just rooted my Incredible using the Unrevoked one-click root. For some reason though, the recovery that it flashed, clockworkmod 2.5.1.2, is unresponsive. The first screen works, but when I try to go to any other screens it just goes black.
Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it?
Are you pressing the power button to try and go to another screen? In CM Recovery you need to press the trackpad to go to the next screen.

Wow, thank you. Yes, that was the problem. This was my first root on an incredible, I've previously rooted my HTC Evo, which doesn't have a trackball, so I was pressing power and couldn't figure it out.

My first post and I hope i'm in right section. I have just tried to root my htc desire and install 2 roms.
The rooting of phone worked fine [I think]. Came up with super user permissions so guess I got that part right. Now the problem.
I then went to upgrade it from 2.1 to 2.2 using radio zip file and defrost zip file through ROM manager but now can't get any further.
My htc is now stuck on the white htc screen when I switch it on and when I try to do the recovery by holding down the back button while pressing the power button I don't get any joy.
HELP!!! How can I overcome this? Your help would be very appreciated
go to recovery & wipe cache etc then reload the rom

On MyTouch Slide (not sure if is the same on every phone)
You first Hold Down Volume button and don't let go while then press Power button, with volume buttons and power to select Recovery.
And that's how I go to recovery... then proceed with whatever you must/want to do..

Rom Manager, I don't feel like using it to flash a Rom, I'd rather follow instruction for the normal way.

Tried that but it just goes back to white HTC screen - just can't get recovery mode to do anything! - someone told me to try the trackball instead of power button when selecting recovery and all is fine
OK so i let rom manager update clockwork recovery and now I can get into clockwork recovery but when i pick an option my screen goes black. I can hit home or power and it goes back to the first screen, but I can't flash or get access to anything past the first screen.
Lol, we need to make this issue into some sort of slide joke (anyone?).
Anyway, 2.5.0.1 doesn't use the power button to select things anymore. Use the trackpad on your phone to scroll and select things. We all freaked out the first time this happened to us

I did this too when I first got the slide. You can still use vol keys to select but power button won't get you anywhere, nor will home or menu haha
Hello folks,
since two days I can't use my desire properly anymore. Wifi had some issues, volume buttons sometimes stopped working and the phone rebooted itself. The phone was rooted with unrevoked ans S-OFF. I thought that maybe the software was damaged so I decided to reinstall, but this time with the original RUU.
I used this one: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
After installing, the phone got in a reboot loop. Now, I cant get into the bootmenu because the volume down button doesn't work. Is there any other possibility to get into the bootmenu?
Greets,
Maza

Power+back button. It will launch into fastboot menu I think. From there click hboot. (It might also be that it launches into hboot and you click fastboot. Not too sure). It's the way I used when my vol buttons are unresponsive.

wow, it does work. Thank you. But now, I seem to have another problem: the trackball button doesn't work either can't choose a menu!
this is annoying! you got a tip for this problem too?

I am new to the E4GT, just got it. I just rooted using sfhub's method and everything worked fine. Installed lastest CWM.
Now when I went to try and flash a rom I have the hardest time pressing home and getting it to register as enter. I can tap it a million times and it won't do anything. After about 30 min I was finally able to flash caulkin's but I'm afraid to ever go back into the recovery because of this.
Is this normal? is there a fix?
edit: actually, now that I booted up, my home button is still very wonky. hit or miss. Only began doing this when I rooted. should I take it in?

Hey, I am in no way an expert on this, but in CWM I never use the soft keys on the bottom of the phone. I use the volume rockers to navigate up and down and use the power button as "Enter." Hope that helps, if not, I'm sure someone who's more knowledgeable will help you out.

That is odd. Only time the power button goes back (for me at least) is when it's physically on the "BACK" option. Sorry dude, maybe someone else can help you out with this...
I found a video that shows how to enable the power button as an enter button. Got it figured out.

Hi,
i've just used the unrevoked one click method to root, which was successful.
I can boot into CWM recovery and use volume keys to go up and down the options, but when i press the power button to access a sub menu such as backup and restore it is just displaying a blank screen with no further options?
any suggestions welcomed.
edit: never mind, was pressing the wrong damn button, sheesh
