[Q] I cannot seem to restore my nandroid back up - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Telus DHD and I just temprooted the phone and installed clockworkmod 3.0.0.5. I did a nandroid backup and when I go to restore the it after trying out several roms, it won't boot past the HTC screen. I tried starting over and installing the stock Telus rom and nandroid backup again and restore and still the same thing. Does anyone have this problem?

I'm not 100% sure but I think the problem is the CWM version. Did you make the backup with CWM 3.0.0.5?

You need permanent root and s off (I recommend eng s off).
Follow the guides in the development section.
Also try a non 3 series clockworkmod recovery if you're using a 2.2 rom.

how would i change the rom manager if i cannt boot the phone passed the htc screen please help

Ok. Don't worry, this can be repaired.
First you need to see if you can reboot into recovery.
Take the battery out and restart the phone by holding volume down and power. This will take you to the bootloader. Then using the volume buttons scroll down to recovery and select using the power button.
Next you should get a screen with the red triangle on it. When you see this, hold volume up and press power. Then select wipe data factory resest. This will wipe all your data but ce la vie dude.
If this doesn't work you need to flash a pd98img.zip file from the bootloader. Get back to me and I'll help if needed. Good luck.

Don't restore. It won't work without soff and perm root. Factory reset the reboot. Does your phone reboot without trying to restore?

in hboot it says eng s-off

Can you reboot without restore? Do you have sdk on your pc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

i dont have sdk and when i reboot it stays on the htc white screen and goes no further i have to remove battery and hold down and power to get to hboot and recovery from there takes me to cwm 3.0.0.5

Ok. So we need to flash on older clockwork. Email me and I'll reply with the files you need then I'll talk you through flashing the recovery from fastboot. You have the wrong version of clockwork. The one you have is for 2.3 based roms.

Can't boot into recovery at all....

I flashed the new clockwork mod recovery, and now I can't boot into recovery. At all. Not even power down and volume works. I've tried to restore a backup rom using rom manager, but it just goes to the bootloader menu. So confused... What do I do?

Guess you will have to start from scratch....

Copy the PC36IMG.zip file on your sd card and go into bootloader. Bootloader will automatically scan the file for you and when asked to flash, flash it.
If that works it will atleast get you into a stock ROM and you can go on from there.
Let me know if that works
Damn. Ok. Guess I'll try that when I get home from work :/ Thank you, I'll keep you posted.

Don't do that yet check my posts I had this problem a day ago.
Uninstall Rom manager then reinstall from market, flash clockwork, hit "boot into recovery", if works reboot and flash amon ra if wanted.
This solved my issue 100%
If not they gave me a link for help. Try that first before redoing everything.

That's the route I took. With the added bonus that whatever unrevoked 3 might have done to my radios when I originally rooted with the Android Central method is now bypassed.
Just need to get CM back in fighting trim again now that I've reflashed it.

[Q] UT OOOHHHHH!!! Need Help!

I am an Atrix user. Never had a problem flashing anything with it. My friend gave me his Evo to root and load a rom on. I was able to root and s-off OK, but just d/l'd a rom and tried to flash. Got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G boot screen. Pulled the battery, then booted into recovery. I did not backup ( I then wiped everything to begin flashing the ROM again. Well, now it seems that I have deleted everything. All b/c I was rushing and not thinking clearly. Anyway, is there ANYWAY to remedy this issue? It powers on to Hboot, but thats as far as it goes.
So you can't get into Recovery from Hboot? What happens when you try to get into recovery? If you can get into Recovery you could wipe everything then flash a ROM. Depends on what happens when you try to get into recovery.
If you couldn't get into recovery, I would download AmonRa as a PC36IMG.zip (link in my signature).
If that doesn't work, you could do something similar to a SBF. It is called a RUU. Search for the one corresponding to his Hboot version, plug up your phone and get to hboot and run it as an .exe. Resets to stock.
Try recovery thing first

Thanks for the quick reply. I am able to get into recovery, but when I choose flash zip-choose, it brings up nothing. Its empty.
I will research the RUU method now!! Thanks again!
If you just erased everything, go to recovery, wipe everything, use USB Toggle (If you have Amon Ra Recovery) put a ROM on your SD Card and try to flash it.
BTW, how long were you on the 4G screen?? Because it's gonna take a while to load the ROM and boot up on the first try
You didn't accidentally wipe and/or partition your SD card, did you? Try flashing AmonRa recovery as PC36IMG.zip (I'm guessing you are using clockwork). After you do that, go into Recovery and partition SD card. Then plug up to computer and mount as MS and transfer your ROMs over to your phone. Wipe everything except for SD (thrice is my rule) and flash the ROM and reboot. First boot takes a while, sometimes 5-10 minutes

Thanks, I will try that! I was on the 4G screen for over 20 mins. I got worried once it went over 10 mins, but let it go. Then once 20 mins went by, I pulled the battery.
Guys, Just wanted to say thanks again! I was able to connect using USB Toggle, put a new ROM on, then flashed. Everything went OK this time around. I spent some time on it while doing my work (I was at work haha) but enjoyed tinkering and learning another device. The quick responses saved me, otherwise my co-worked would of went home phone-less rather then happy. Have a good one guys!
NP. That's what makes sites like XDA so good!

Helpppp pleaseeee

I really need some help. I have no idea what has happened to my phone. Anything I d/l from the market or from the computer fc on my phone. I can't use anything. I tried flashing other roms but any ROM I flash just keeps looping the boot image over n over. Even when I try to restore one of my back ups from recovery it does the same it says error while formating data. Then Wen I reboot it just loops the boot image as well. I've tried everything I can think of. If this has happened to anyone please let me know.

By boot image do you mean "splash screen" and "boot animation?" Can you get back to recovery? If so, which recovery and version? If clockworkmos, make sure it's at least 3.0.0.7 or later if your Inc has an amoled screen, 3.0.0.8 if it's SLCD.
If you can get to recovery, power off the phone. Pull the sd card and check that your computer can read it and it's formatted FAT32.
If so, put a clean copy of a ROM on the root of the SD card. Reinsert it in the phone. Boot to hboot (you are running hboot 0.92 right!?) and then to recovery.
In recovery, factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik, then flash the ROM.
If you're running an older hboot and/or older recovery, see elsewhere on XDA how to update those first.

Have you tried flashing stock froyo and then doing a factory reset from hboot? And by stock froyo i mean the official ruu with stock recovery.
Next time you try to do a wipe, also go into mounts and storage and format boot, data, system, and cache. This happened to me once and this seemed to fix my problem. Now I do it every time.
Tried a different sd card?

MetroPCS Wildfire S recovery issue and bootloop problem.

Hello folks,
Ok here is my problem. First my phone is a Marvelc EVT1 / S-On RL, my Bootloader is "unlocked"
I was foolishly exploring the options in TitaniumBackup Pro and selected the clear dalvik cache and the disassociate dalvik from system (a dumb move, I know). So when I restarted my phone it got caught up in a bootloop from the MetroPCS splash screen to the HTC boot screen. I can get into HBoot just fine however, when I select factory reset, it goes into the factory install screen, then reboots into the bootloop process. When I select recovery I get into the recovery menu and can select reboot, install update from SD, wipe cache/factory reset or clear user info, but still even after doing all of that and selecting reboot, it goes back into bootloop. I didnt have clockwork installed because I thought Titanium would suffice as a backup utility.
Ive looked a few custom mods but I can't figure how to get them on my phone without access to the Android UI. I kinda figure that my phone is not a total lost cause because when I connect it via USB, the Android Composite Interface device as well as a hard drive icon appears when I connect the phone via USB. So I'm really desperate for some comprehensive instructions on fixing this issue if it is even possible. Any help would be super.
Thanks in advance,
Gary
EDIT: removed picture.
Obviusly the OP managed to edit his post to more than "Hello folks"
Maybe you could fast boot flash clockwork with adb then flash one of insinks metro roms (just an idea I don't know to much about this)
Sent from my HTC_A510c using Tapatalk
You need to fastboot clockwork mod recovery onto your phone, then from cwm you need to wipe your cache, dalvick cache and factory reset the device. After that place the rom if your choice on your sdcard and flash it. Follow the thread for your rom for specific roms

Thanks a ton for your info. I'll try that however every CW mod tutorial I've read always assumes that I had access to the android GUI. So I didn't understand how i could actually install it to phone. Your words are encouraging and I don't feel that this is a lost cause. Back to the research table/drawing board.
Thank again,
Gary

help needed!!! restoring desire z

i rooted desire z after downgrading it to 2.2 using xda wiki method....after it installed cynogenmod 9 unofficial...
all went ok
now pressing power button gave three options one of which is recovery i accidently selected that and the phone went back to 2.2 and superuser etc apps also removed...its restarting too...
i want to restore it to android 2.3 htc original non rooted...how can i do so...????please help on this...
A couple things here, how do you know you are unrooted and running 2.2 if you're stuck in a boot loop? Can you boot into hboot? If so can yo write down everything on that screen? Can you boot into recovery at all? What if you remove your sdcard? Like someone said in the other post you had did you leave a pc10img.zip on sdcard?

By choosing recovery from advanced menu option shoundt cause an issue, and definetly won't bring you back to stock froyo, something else happened, can you remember? Can you get into the os at all?

i hadnt selected anything from advanced menu...i selected recovery from one of three options that come pressing power button when phone is on...and yes i can get into os...but restarts aftr a while....
That's what I meant, selecting recovery from within the power menu options will not cause an issue and will not cause your phone to unroot itself and jump back a few OSs.
So some other key info is missing, if you don't recall or don't know what it is that's fine. Can you boot into your bootloader and write down everything on that screen here. Also try to turn on debugging and use adb to reboot into recovery, tell me what happens
