Running AlphaRev Recovery
S-OFF

AlphaRev is not a recovery.
Can you boot in to recovery? If not make sure you flash a desire compatible image.
Did you change hboot image? If yes make sure it's not to small.

Hi.
Ricky's phone wont power on, cant boot into recovery and when the charger is plugged in there is no led lights nothing. Basically dead ?

What does "re-installed alpharev because i couldn't partition my sd card from CW" even mean? You flashed Amon Ra Recovery or did you flash a different hboot?
You also can't boot in to fastboot?
If not, check the md5 of whatever you did with with AlphaRev to see if it matches. If it doesn't I believe this is the end of the story.

Tried the basics, battery off for 30 seconds and back on.. etc?
Your post is a little squiff

I'm Ricky's mums partner and what he did was rooted his phone and he had clockwork mod recovery, he then flashed alpharev and then went back to clockwork mod ???and because he couldn't partition his SD through Clockwork mod he went back to alpha rev lmao.
I give Ricky an old defrost rom I had stored on laptop and as far as I gather he flashed that and then his phone went Erm...........dead.
Battery has been taken out, put back in n nothing happens lol phone is completely d.e.a.d
Hope that explains it a little better lmao
Btw I see a Welsh dragon where in Wales are u ? I'm originally from south
Edit: I see Swansea lol I was a little further up towards neath Ish, actually Ystradgynlais

Once again, AlphaRev is not a recovery, you can't replace clockworkmod with AlphaRev. You can replace clockworkmod with Amon Ra Recovery. So did you/he use the AlphaRev.iso and what did you/he do with it? Only run the iso? Anything with fastboot commands and hboot images after S-offing? Did the phone still boot after this, because flashing a rom can't brick your phone.
Does the phone boot when you do it with volume down + power or back + power?

Lmao ok he replaced clockwork mod with amnon and then went back to clockwork mod and because he couldn't partition sd he flashed amnon again lol
His phone is s/off and God knows what he done with the iso?
As I said nothing happens with his phone, power down, volume down, back button etc etc no led when charger is attached?

Tried a different battery?

Yep tried my battery and still nothing lol

Does the phone connect to a PC via usb when connected, ie does anything at all show in the Device manager?

The led not lighting up when connecting is a bad singe but, you know that you have to use back or volume down in combination with the power button (at the same time)? And to make the guessing game a bit easier, the phone did work normal after changing the recovery images? It only went bad after flashing Defrost?

Yeah I know about the combination mate. Rick is not here at mo but will ask what he did do so you can get a clear picture lol

I'm only telling you what rick told me lol think there's more to it though.

I have the same problem, my phone is "bricked" it does not power on even though my battery is fully charged, and the led does not turn on when I plugin the battery-charger anymore, it is completely dead, "bricked".

right from scratch this is what happened,
i was running AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.3 with my own rom and it was working fine, i decided to go back to defrost as i like the interface better. I downloaded Clockwork mod recovery from xda.richardtrip.org and flashed it, only after that i noticed i couldnt partition my SD card from clockwork mod and reflashed AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT, partitioned sd card, booted my phone to check the partition had worked, wiped data, cache & dalvik & then flashed defrost 6.0k with defrosts recommended radio and kernel, clicked reboot system after flashing and a blank screen was on for about 15 mins so i pulled the battery left it 30 secs tried to boot into HBOOT but it wouldn't turn on

Still doesnt answer the question, does the PC respond at all when you connect the USB cable?

no it dosen't

Next Time use Gparted to partition the card, and has more options (and it's even not that hard to use).
Well, the phone doe not responds... sounds like a brick, but I read once, that a guy had the same problem like you (altough he did not flash stuff like a mad man ), but after 12 hours the phone just started up from nowhere and it's working ever since.

makes no sense. there is NO such thing as AlphaRev RECOVERY. Alpha rev is a way to make your device S-OFF. it cannot in anyway be a sub for a recovery.
the number u wrote (2.5.1.3) would suggest that u had ClockworkMod recovery. any other option is AmonRa recovery.
"i decided to go back to defrost as i like the interface better. I downloaded Clockwork mod recovery from xda.richardtrip.org and flashed it"
again i dunno what u mean by that. if you were runnig a custom ROM u had to have some recovery (clockwork or amonra) so if u wanted to change a ROM u just needed to put it in your SD card and flash. it just makes no sense, do some reading and then try to tell us what did u exactly do with your phone

rom flashing issues

my phone aborts when trying to flash some new roms...any idea y
Are you flashing through Amon RA or Clockwork? I would use RA and make sure you do a full wipe.
Is the ROM you are flashing signed? If not it will abort unless you turn off signature verification. Not sure if Clockwork lets you do this (I haven't used it in forever) but RA does. Of course, if a dev can't properly sign their ROM then you probably shouldn't use it anyway.

Pls i need help
Hi there, phone screen remains black and no visuals after flashing rom, so I canrt see anything on screen or know what to do about it, pls help?
Details -
After flashing ROM from SD card via which seem to go well... ONLY that the screen is blanked out, no lights except the key lights, phone comes on, responds to touch by giving normal sounds like when I use flick the scroll lock and touch the screen etc (just because I know how the phone works) but problem remains that I cant see anything, so I cant even boot into recovery or download mode to flash again since its all black and dimly lit.
I have a B63M running Gingerbread 2.3.5 so I am not sure what model of HTC it falls under in case this question or similar has been asked already.
I was able to initially get into flash recovery using the mobile uncle tool which allowed me get into recovery, something that has been impossible using the stock recovery in b63m.
I backed up the ROM , cleared cache and daikvil cache then went on to flash ROM using an update.zip and then the touble I explained above.
This is a current situation pls I need help getting back up and flashing the right lattest rom for my phone?
SORRY, i didnt realize at first that you dont have an evo, so i dont know if these instructions will help you
turn your phone off, remove and reinsert battery.
hold vol-down then power until HBOOT loads.
use vol keys to navigate and power to select the word "recovery" to boot into recovery.
I suggest you download roms over wifi if you havent as over 3g can cause roms to download wrong and cause issues

[Q] Hboot to CM7 led to stuck splash screen

Hi guys, tried changing my HBOOT to CM7 via Fastboot. Everything went perfectly fine (it is S-Off ) but I seem to be stuck at the splash screen.
What happens is, the phone powers on, it goes to the 'Why so serious?' splash screen reboots about twice then it's just stuck there.
Not sure what to do. Help would be much appreciated.
pull battery, put back in, boot into recovery (power + vol- button ->recovery) and then flash your new rom.

Full data/cache wipe before ROM flashing.
i presume you wanted to flash some DATA++ roms since you flashed CM7 hboot
well note that you still need an EXT3 partition, at least 1GB.
some thought that data++ meant no ext needed, which is wrong
InsertCoin GB
My Desire stucks on the white htc-screen with the InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1 A2SD+
I was trying reinstall so many times but without any success.
With InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1 CM7 and RCMixSv07 all is ok.
The Desire is s-off, CWM3.0.0.5, Hboot CM7, 6,5GB fat32, 1 GB ext3 and 500MB swap.
Before installing I wiped all .
Pls. pls. pls. any ideas?

Phone stuck on splash screen after trying to flash Synergy rom. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I flashed the "Synergy" rom and noticed that I didnt have the 3d carousel effect after letting the rom run for 2 days. I then noticed another download for the rom with the 3d effect. After flashing that rom I am now stuck on the splash screen. I can also no longer boot into recovery. I am able to access the bootloader but that's it. I cant access nothing on my phone.
Find it odd that you cannot get into Recovery. Are you pulling battery, then holding power and down key?
Yep... Ive pulled the battery several times, and tried accessing the recovery by holding power and the down button.. All it does is restart at the splash screen and stays..
Did you wipe prior to flashing ? Never had that issue so what happens when you click on recovery in the boot loader.
You said in the first post that you can access the boatloader, but in your next post, you say starting your phone with vol down and power takes you to your splash screen... this is an important piece of info for me/us to know in order to help, give advice.
If it goes to the boatloader, try reflashing a custom recovery. If it's going straight to your splash screen, that is a result of " fastboot" being enabled in the settings menu, and you're holding your phone wrong and have to wait longer ( up to 10 minutes) as it can take a while to build the dalvik cache and set up the symlinks.
Tower, this is SkyRaider requesting a fly-by...
Flash a custom recovery pc36img.zip in bootloader. When done boot into recovery and factory wipe. Then partition your sd with 1024mb ext2, move ext2 to ext3. Flash synergy and u should be good. Backup ur sdcard before partitioning it.

It's one of two things... bad wipe or user is just impatient and isn't used to the longer initial boot time of the sense 3.0 roms, so panic sets in after 2 minutes of boot
Tower, this is SkyRaider requesting a fly-by...
Ok here's my process fellas and this is whats happening (or not happening). Phone is stuck on the SPLASH screen. I can hold the volume down button and power and get into the bootloader. Here's what Ive tried so far thats not working for me. Trying to go into recovery through the bootloader takes me back to a stuck SPLASH screen. Ive installed a PC36IMG.zip (Custom recovery) and when the HBoot looks for the file it doesnt see it. The file doesnt have zip.zip as the extension and the MD5checksum was good on the file. When I installed the rom I did do a full wipe and when i hit restore it took me to my SPLASH screen and stayed there longer than 10 minutes. I flashed plenty of roms and this is the 1st time ive been at this point where im unable to boot my phone. I suspect the recovery is broken
and as of now, there is no other way (that i know of now) for me to load a custom one into my phone.
I also tried to push the file via adb and when entering the command adb shell, i get a device cannot be found message.
Hope this helps you guys help me.
I'm now having the same problem with my Thunderbolt. I need some major help. I can boot into bootloader, but not recovery because I have a p50IMG.zip on my sd card...so it just scans it and asks to install...how do I get it off of the card?

[Q] Phone Will Not Boot Past Splash Screen

I tried to flash the latest (at that time) Synergy Rom on Sunday. I had been trying out Sense 3.0 Roms since being on Cyanogen for 3 months and low in behold after flashing and rebooting, the phone hung on the splash screen, wouldn't even get to the boot animation. I pulled the battery out to reboot and kept doing the same things. So then i just figured I go through bootloader to get to recovery. When I hit recovery, the phone hung on the splash screen and thus I was forced to report my phone lost because I use it for work and was able to get a new one the next day (had to pull out my old bb 8530). The phone charges, but it will not do anything when powering on, or hitting recovery but go to splash. Once again when i try to go into recovery, it won't get there.
Any Help Please.

You need to reflash your recovery. Is it just hanging at the splash screen, or is it rebooting at the splash screen?
Download this PC36IMG I attatched (it's Amon RA recovery v2.3). Place the file on the main directory of your sd card (you'll probably need to take the SD card and use a card reader to get the file on the card....or put the card in another phone with an sd slot if you have access to one...just get the PC36IMG.zip file on your card). Once it's on the card and card's back in the phone, boot to your bootloader. It should scan and find the PC36IMG then ask you to update...select vol up to say yes. Should finish in 10-15 seconds. Then when it asks you to reboot, say no. Now from the bootloader menu, choose recovery. Do you successfully boot to recovery now, hopefully?
Ok, I got that, I put cyanogens latest release candidate from 5/5 on the card, I have Ra's recovery up, i guess i jumped ahead and the install aborted, tips please.

So what part aborted? When you were flashing the rom? Just to clarify, you did successfully get the recovery flashed, right? Now it's the rom you're having trouble flashing?
If so, I'd be sure that you don't have a corrupted download. Check the md5 checksum, or simply try redownloading it and trying again. Good luck.
It starts to install the ROM, then it all of a sudden aborts after getting 50-75 percent complete. I'm trying RC 7.3 now, wala, it worked, well i have an extra evo now i need to figure out what to do with it. BIG THANKS.

You're welcome, glad you got it squared away.
As far as having two Evo's...just be careful. If I'm not mistaken, when you report a phone lost or stolen to Sprint, they will make the ESN bad. I'd check into that, to make sure that one them doesn't have a bad ESN. I didn't even catch that part of your OP that you had already gotten a new one, lol.
So I guess that will make the phone useless if I give it to my father in-law.
turn it back in n say u found it...in other words the right thing

[Resolved] stuck on HTC screen after boot with no SD

Hi all,
I'm asking for help because I don't know how to unbrick my desire.
I've search the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034956,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948769) but can't find a safe way to do it.
My phone is not branded , rooted, S-ON and I was running RCMiX 2 A2SD.
This afternoon I turned of my phone to get the SD card for a backup of my photos.
After removing my SD I have pluged the battery and the phone have started to boot from itself but my SD was not present. So I unplugged the battery.
After putting back the SD I tryed to start the phone and I was stuck on HTC screen.
Then I try to go HBOOT and it has searched "PB99XXX" files 4 times during 30 or more minutes.
Then I went into recovery but get the phone with red triangle. I had clockworkmod before.
how can I do?
thanks for your help.
Edit: If this might help I got Stock HBOOT 0.80
I had forgot about the "vol up + power" manipulation to see recovery menu...
silly me...
I've finaly managed to go into clockworkmod and then do a full data and cache wipe and finaly reinstall my RCMiX 2 HD rom.
Sorry for the bothering.
