Flashing Rom help!!!

Im fully rooted, and I was able to flash to Fresh's rom. I guess not deleting the Pc36*** file, when it rebooted, i panicked (lol) and reinstalled the stock rom...
Now I have absolutely no idea how to get back to the green recovery screen where I can flash from zip...
Is it me, is it a adb thing?
Any help is greatly appreciated....

if you have a custom recovery: power the phone off, hold volume down and then press the power button. Continue to hold volume down. Make sure the pc img is off the sd card, wait for it to go through the motions then enter recovery

Where do i go from here partner?

yeah, so try doing what I said above. Turn off phone, hold volume down, press power and release and continue holding down. You will get to hboot and it will scan for the pcimg and should not find it and present you with a menu. Go to recovery and that should be it

I did so, and its just sitting idle with the phone & red triangle. My only option from here is vol up and power to take me to the blue reboot screen...
Thanks for the help by the way...

hmmm, I would have thought you would have a custom recovery from Part II of toast's rooting guide. Have you unlocked your nand through that procedure?
in any case, you can always download rom manager from the market, and that will allow you to install a custom recovery and boot into recovery from android. I am not sure if the new version requires nand unlock so make sure you have done part II of toasts root guide

I was able to flash from the green recovery screen tho. Im not understanding this. I even updated the radio and wimax thru the same green screen...
Thanks for your help..

how were you flashing before? did you use clockwork recovery (i think thats what it's called) through rom manager?

I dont think that I have clockwork on my phone. I was able to vol dwn/power, hboot would see the PC36*** because I was not informed to delete it, and instead of updating i selected NO, and it took me to the green recovery screen...

Ok, so I would try flashing the recovery from the second part of Toast's rooting guide. If you can do that, then you can just use the volume + power thing to get to hboot, then select recovery and it should take you into the recovery that you flashed. From that recovery you can wipe flash backup, and all that good stuff.
you dont need to do the whole part 2 over, just the part about flashing the custom recovery.

[Q] Boot into recovery without Vol(+) button?

I got my phone a bit damp while skiing and now the + vol button doesn't work. I would like to keep playing around with Roms however the inability to flash an update.zip to boot into clockwork mod worries me too much.
Is there anyway to get into the standard recovery without holding the + and pushing power? Or possibly hard-flash clockwork mod?

---Solved, flashed recovery using unREVoked, works well now. Thanks everyone, back continuous unadulterated flashing---

Well, ROM manager can boot into recovery, but obviously that requires a working ROM.

Dave

Install ROM Manager from the Marketplace, use the custom clockwork recovery image in my sig (fake flash). You can then install the custom recovery image from the root of your sd card using ROM Manager. To flash ROMs in the future, in ROM Manager, select the 'Install ROM from sd card option'. You can then use the trackpad to navigate through the recovery menu options instead of the Vol key.

Yeah I know I can get there from Clockworkmod, but the rom needs to be working. I'm worried about flashing anything else in case one of the roms is broken.
I've read that unrevoked rooted phones can do it, can I use the unrevoked method even though I'm already rooted with Paul's riskfree?

If you turn on your phone while pressing the "Back"button on the right of the (OJ)optical joystick, your phone boots in "Fastboot"
Then you select "Bootloader" by pressing the powerbutton
If one of your vol buttons still works, you can press it untill you've selected recovery
Et Voila

I can get to the recovery screen, black phone with red exclamation mark in triangle. It is at this screen I need the vol(+) button. Hmmm...not too confident about flashing roms anymore

Use UnrEVOked to permanently flash a recovery image onto your phone.

Dave

From terminal
su
reboot recovery
Also works

Where to from here?
I have been reading up on fastboot, in which I should be able to restore a nandroid backup if flashing a rom fails. This doesn't need the recovery console, there is some contingency I guess.
Has anyone used unrevoked on a prerooted device? are the steps the same?

For instructions for flashing a permanent recovery image (UnrEVOked) are pretty straightforward. Please see the following link for more information:

Just make sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled beforehand. To remove UnrEVOked, simply flash your original RUU file, which will also return you to stock and remove root.

Sounds like you lost your recovery. Did you update to 3.70?

Help Booting up loop / need to get in recovery help!

Ok i had a rooted phone,
and installed rom manager it was also flashed to cricket wirelss also.
anyways i decided to try and install the cm7
So i did and before that i made a back up via rom manager app
And so i updated and it installed
and now when i turn on phone
It stays at the cyanogen mod 7 with icon blue icon screen
and circle thing
How do i boot into recovery menu????
I had the latest recovery menu also,
I NEED HELp i just want to restore my backup from before.

First off you should power it off completely, then hold the power button and volume down at the same time. Next, you need to navigate the bootloader and go down(with volume down key) and select recovery with the power key. That should take you to recovery. I hope you made a nandroid before you flash another rom; if you did just restore your nandroid and you should be good to go.

[Q] CM7 stable won't install

I am currently running CM7.0.0-RC2-Slide, and I saw that there was a stable CM7 available, but after following cyanogen's instructions on installing, and after rebooting the phone, I come to a black screen with an image of a phone and a red triangle with a ! in the middle, on the top right of the image.
My technology savvy roommate said I need to flash the newest clockwork recovery with ADB, but i just can't figure anything out.
I just want the new CM7 on my phone and be happy already. I'm half tempted to just revert back to stock and upgrade to 2.2.
Can anyone please help shed some light on my dilemma?

The red triangle screen is the stock recovery. The instruction at the cyanogen wiki says:
15. Once in the recovery, you will see a device with a triangle. Press Volume Up & the Power button.
16. Use the Volume Down button to highlight Apply update.zip & press the Power button to select this.
17. After a moment, the TMobile myTouch Slide will boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.

The update.zip in this case is the ClockworkMod recovery. The link to that file is in the wiki. Once you are in ClockworkMod Recovery you can proceed to wipe and install the update-cm-7.0.0-Slide-signed.zip
P.S: BTW you can't flash a permanent CWM Recovery on this device without being S-OFF. That's why for S-ON devices you always have to get into CWM Recovery from the Stock Recovery.
