Can't pass HTC screen

Guys i have a question regarding the htc splash screen. I rooted twice today just to test a few things.
When i rooted for the first time i used windows 7 + hboot drivers from unrevoked3 site and flashed/rooted my device (stock rom (froyo)). Everything worked fine but when i run clockwork recovery mode and select the backup option i get something strange.
My device is backing up and it says it's done, when i select the reboot option my device get stuck at the splash screen and reboots, hangs, reboots, hangs, reboots etc. I need to pull the batteries off to get back in recovery mode. This time i select restore and select the backup i created before all this happend. Now it's passing the htc splash screen.
Because i thought i got problems with the windows drivers i decided to root with linux, so i installed the official ruu update over my rooted rom and root it under linux to make sure i am a bit saver.
Now when i do a backup and reboot again i get the same thing ? it hangs at the splash screen. Is the unrevoked recovery tool bugged (clockworkmod) ??? because when i restore with the backup i created it is passing the htc splash screen again.
I don't understand.
(Sorry for my bad English)
PS: I used this rom to root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828519

As far as i know you need to root only once..i guess rooting again n again may hav messed wid phone..nt sure though..wait for a reply from someone who is experienced..i hav been using android since past 3 months only

What you could try is this.
Use unrevoked again, but in unrevoked select a alternative recovery image.
Then load this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
This is the amon-ra recovery. And for the record, you can root with unrevoked as many times as you want
Btw, you are sure that you waited long enough? If you restored a nandbackup, booting the phone can take 5-10 minutes

Oo..i thght it is similiar to jail breaking tht needs to be done onl once...lolzz

You really didnt read well didnt you ? it already happend the first time i rooted . Secondly, if i root and install a official ruu update over it everything will get wiped and cleaned....so there would be no problems when i decide to root.

Yeah i am sure....after backup the phone showed me the menu screen that i could select options such as rebooting the phone. When i reboot after backup it doesnt get passed the splash screen and reboots (and those steps gets repeated). If i don't use recover....my phone is dead

- Flash a stock ruu (rom)
- Then root again and use amon ra.

Already did that 1 minute ago....testing it now
Edit: Whooohooo.....works ... backed up files and rebooted now and i don't get stucked at htc splash screen.
Clockworkmod will never get on my device again.

This seems to be a documented problem with Unrevoked. The first reboot after rooting and backing up Nandroid seems to hang the system for some, and restoring the Nandroid fixes it. After restoring the Nandroid (as you did) there should be no further problems. And since you did that, your problem should have been fixed. And since you restored to a rooted copy, why did you have to try again with Linux? Your problem was already fixed by the Nandroid Restore..

unrEVOked isn't the issue, Clockwork Mod is...just use AmonRA instead

Thought the 1st Nandroid Restore fixes it..Does Clockwork mod still pose probs?

Clockwork Mod is the issue - flash AmonRA from the start and you won't have this issue (or I never have anyway, use AmonRA as you can partition SD cards in it)

I have the same issue can't pass htc screen and with 2 black lines.
I will flash RUU then root by unrEVOked. My question is how to flash/install AmonRA, do i have to flash using Clockwork will it override my recovery? Sorry guys noob question...

I didn't have 2 black lines, mine rebooted after it couldnt pass HTC splash...i needed to remove battery or it keeps rebooting.
What i did with clockworkmod is restore (the backup you created before rebooting)....this should fix the problem. If this is not the case then i don't know because i never rooted before. You should ask a expert.
Anyway because i needed to restore anytime i posted this topic, people said i should use AmonRA. So to do this i installed the latest official ruu (posted by EddyOS) (to make sure everything is clean and good again). Then i used linux to make sure it is saver.
When you downloaded the unrevoked3 tool open it and don't plug you phone yet, go to options and select custom recovery. Now select the AmonRA (latest version i used) to flash with unrevoked3. Now plug in your phone and relax.
The only thing i am scared off is to flash hboot to go s-off.

Actually the cause of this problem was when i have tried the method for s-off...sad...

When i run unrEVOked it says this thing....
Device "/sbin/sh:getprop: not found
"is not supported at this time.

Try flashing true Linux. Download Ubuntu and this way you can boot your pc in linux.

Could you please give me a step by step guide on how to this unrEVOked if i have already booted up to linux? Im not familiar with the codes.

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.6 mod please Close

Question.... i rooted my phone using unrevoked and installed 2.5.0.1 but now i want to use the 3.0.0.6 i have it downlaoded and on the sd card of my phone and i ran it in recovry and it loads fine how ever when i restart my phone the recovery keeps reverting to 2.5.0.1
could someone just tell me where im going wrong with this XD
cheers the only thing i can think of doing is instaling a RUU then rerooting with a img of 3.0.0.6
Cheers

Hi there,
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901503

Well i have tryed to use unrevoked to flash the img file and it always passes the first reboot how ever it always eather failes with a communications error or it sits on waiting for system to settle. and after a reboot it still running the old clockworkmod recovery

I,ve managed to successfully go through the whole Unrevoked process, selecting custom image, yet I still have the old cwm recovery

Unless I run update. Zip. Or start. Recovery from rom manager I'm still using the old version. Is there something we are doing wrong or is there another method

I have succesfully flashed it with unrevoked. Downloaded it from here http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img
However first time it stucks at htc logo and then unrevoked says "waiting for root (safe to reboot if not working)" or something similar, so i disconected phone, pulled battery, booted and stared all again. This time everything went fine.
Only problem was that rom manager was still saying that im on 2.5.0.1, so downloaded this http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.zip and copied into sdcard\clockworkmod\download\mirror1.kanged.net\recoveries\ and deleted the old one from this path.
Hope it helped...

Finally managed to flash cwm 3.0.0.6 using Unrevoked 3.14. Unrevoked 3.2xx just didnt seem to work at all for me. Recovery is now a joy to use, and performing nandroid backups seems much faster

Sorry for the stupid question, but where can i get version 3.14? when i go to unrevoced.com i can only get version 3.32 wich says "Device Wildfire not supported".
Strange because I've rooted my Wildfire on this PC with unrevoked, so all Drivers are installed and it should work. I think it's a problem with the new version.
thanks in advance

Can't remember where I found it, but I still have it. I'll upload it later

After instal recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img tru Unrevoked v3.14 there is problem with ROM CyanogenMod V7.0.0-RC2 superuser dont work i need to flash back with RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed.exe then again run Unrevoked v3.2 and after that do restore with 2.5.1

Unrevoked 3.14, for anyone who needs it

rapidshare link expired, i just tried

Reflashed clockwork 3.0.0.6 with it without problems.

You can't update recovery from ROM Manager. We don't have s-off.
Edit: In fact I'm not sure if ROM Manager can do it even with s-off.

My rom manager recovery is 3.0.0.6
I have described few posts back how i manage to do it.
And i also have fake recovery 2.5.0.1 i some zips have amend script and i dont have time to convert it.

I meant, you can't permanently flash your recovery via ROM Manager. For that you need to use a reflash tool (Unrevoked for us) or use fastboot if you have s-off.

Oh, that, right. Sorry, my mistake.

Flashing recovery without rooting
Is there a way to flash a recovery using unrevoked without rooting?
I really need to send my phone to my carrier so I'm worried that they could find I've been messing around with it and void my warranty...

Are you having 2 superuser app conflicting each other after flashing via Unrevoked 3.14 as it is described in other threads? (ClockworkMod v3.0.2.4)

[Q] Widlfire recovery

Hope i have posted in the right place...
firstly it bit of a background to what i did before my phone wont work.
i succesfully got S-of using Alpharevx and ROOT using Super one click
i then tried to get Clockwork recovery installed i tried to flash this using Root toolbox this apeared to work but when i rebooted the phone it now stays on HTC loaging screen
i have tried to in HBOOT but Recovery just flashes the screen and goes back into Hboot
is there any ways of flashing a Stock recovery image from my pc?
many thanks Michael

Installing Clockworkmod from the PC is what you should have done in the first place. It's far easier and prevents many hassles.
Follow this post, and use Fastboot to flash Clockworkmod again. Or, if you would rather not have Clockworkmod and necessarily want the Stock Recovery, flash an RUU, it will restore the stock recovery.

Desire boot loops and I can't get into recovery

I've been happily running CM7 for the past year and yesterday while I was browsing the phone suddenly turned off and starts bootlooping, I then tried to get into recovery to flash one of my backups but I couldn't get into recovery anymore. I can get into the bootloader (vol down, back and power key) but if I select recovery from the menu it starts bootlooping again. I was hoping someone knows what's going on.
I used revolutionary to root the phone, had clockworkmod recovery installed (don't think it was the latest version, haven't updated it since I've installed it a year ago) and was running CM7.2 (latests stable version).
I also apologise in advance because you guys must be sick of people asking what to do with a 'bricked' phone but I'm still hoping someone can help me.

You have the explanation how it all works in my signature.
Just flash recovery.img via fastboot.

Thanks for the post, I'm guessing you mean the third link? running the RUU? in that thread there is a link 'http://htcdev.com/' but that link is dead.. so I can't get it there but I will google around to see if it's somewhere else.

Not sure what link you said is dead, they all work. I meant on this one "Before Crying for Bricked Device - How Nexus One and HTC Work ".
All you need is recovery.img download it from here:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
and flash it via fastboot.

Both your ROM and recovery are bootlooping. But importantly your bootloader is fine and therefore you can easily recover. First get your recovery in order by flashing recovery from fastboot. Thereafter when you are able to get into recovery flash your ROM in the normal manner or restore your nandroid.

Thank you both! I flashed the recovery.img and could get into the recovery mode again! it's restoring my last back up as we speak, so hopefully it's working again.

If it all work go here:
www.4ext.net
and get rid of that buggy cwm recovery.

Well.. today it started bootlooping again in the same way as described in the first post and now the method I used yesterday to fix it doesn't work anymore. If I flash a new recovery.img now and subsequently try to go into the recovery mode it starts bootlooping again... so now I'm wondering if I should just flash the RUU via pc to at least get my phone working again... do you guys think that would work?
edit: can I even run the RUU in fastboot usb?

RUU is the solution if all else fails. But only use 2.3 Android RUU. And remember to downgrade hboot first.
Before you get into that I would try :-
- Flash a different recovery and try to get into recovery. But this time dont restore your nandroid. Flash a ROM afresh.
- Remove your sdcard and try to get into recovery. Wild guess !
- Also try formatting your system, sdext etc partitions as given in Bortaks thread.

I tried flashing a different recovery (amon ra) but that also didn't work, when I tried to get into recovery mode it got stuck on the HTC boot screen (with some weird extra lines through the image).
I will try to remove the sd card.
Another weird observation, the phone doesn't seem to be charging anymore, at least... the led doesn't turn on when it's plugged in.. it get's weirder and weirder.

like handy says full wipe, wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik and format all partitions except sdcard then do a clean install of a different rom. restoring the nandroid, u could just be restoring the problem.
edit: just read ur post bout charging, looks like HW not rom or recovery problems
Sent from my HTC Desire

yeah but the weird thing is that this started this morning, I charged it last night (when all of this stuff was already happening).

Run 2.3 ruu as fast as you can, you're on a good way to hboot or radio brick.

Can't get into recovery

Hello,
For some reason lately I cannot boot into recovery. It will boot into the white screen (bootloader?) but keeps loading it when I try to go into recovery. The same thing happens when I try to reboot phone into recovery.
I cannot backup or flash any ROMS now. CWM seems not be be able to backup my current ROM anyway, even when I could boot into recovery a few days ago.
Also, my SD card adapter has failed me and now sometimes when I go to connect with USB to put files onto the card it sometimes does not work and restarts Cyanogenmod. I worked on the last try ok.
I am running Cyanogenmod 7.2.01 and have Rover theme installed.
Please help.

Reflash your recovery. Use 4ext recovery this time. You will find an apk file on 4ext site, just download and install.
Go the application and follow instructions to flash the recovery. It will overwrite the current one.
