Hi i have the htc desire i have been using different roms and trying the hd roms out lately, the last rom i used was the z port from from roblix i used the data 2 sd version.
i decided i didnt want the data2sd and i wanted to go back to the a2sd like i had been used to so i used gparted to remove all the partitions from my sd card and repartitioned it to the correct thing to use a2sd.......
i went into recovery and wiped all the things from the phone getting ready to flash but after i wiped the phone rebooted.....well it wouldnt
from that point on the phone will not boot normally because i removed the things with wiping all data....and it will not go into recovery either i had amon ra recovery image flashed to my phone.....which all worked hundreds of times before....
all i can do now is get to hboot menu or fastboot menu if i select recovery from there the phone goes off and comes to the first screen where it hangs for ever.
please advise what i can do to fix my phone to get recovery back again
If your S-Off you can flash a recovery again through fastboot. Erm... I can't remember how to do it if your not so you will have to search the forums for the solution or Google it. If you wanted to, you could use an RUU (and a Goldcard if necessary to bypass the verification) but you would have to root again.
i have tried to flash recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img via fastboot and it said it flashed ok but it wont boot to recovery still ..... the phone reboots and just sticks on the first boot screen and does nothing else at all
any other ideas
Try CWM 2.5.0.7? Install an RUU to reset it back then just root it again?

I've been having trouble with ROM installs and Nandroid backup / restores since I used ROM Manager to update recovery from ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5 to v2.5.1.2.
I would like to revert back to v2.5.0.5. I have the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.5-inc.img and recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.5-inc.zip. If I run the .zip file from the 2.5.1.2 recovery, it temporarily shows "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5" as the running recovery, but slips back to 2.5.1.2 upon reboot.
At this point my ROM / backups aren't booting. I can get to the adb shell while in v2.5.1.2 recovery. Is there a way to flash back to ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5 from adb shell?
Thanks,
Dan
I renamed recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.5-inc.zip to update.zip and put it on the root of my SD card. I rebooted into hboot and it ran the update.zip, then booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5. Unfortunately when I rebooted into recovery again, it was back to v2.5.1.2.
Someone has to have done this before... At this point my phone is dead to me, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm anxious to hear them.
Place this PB31IMG.zip on the root of your sd card and install through HBOOT.
Being an older version, it may or may not work, but is worth a shot.
"No image or wrong image" when trying to boot that from HBOOT. It won't install it.

Make sure your sd card is formatted to FAT32 rather than FAT and that your computer didn't inadvertently rename the file to PB31IMG.zip.zip or pb31img.zip.
Thanks for the quick response. The file is named PB31IMG.zip (capitalized properly, no extra .zip extension). The SD card is FAT32. I was able to flash a update.zip this morning using the same setup. Would it be advisable to rename the PB31IMG.zip to update.zip just to get it to flash?
What is this PB31IMG.zip? Is it back to the stock RUU or is it the ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5 Recovery?
It's CWM, downloaded straight from Koush's site and inserted into a zip by me.
Another alternative, if you are able to do so, is to use Unrevoked to install the recovery image.
I thought of the same thing this morning. I'll have to try to get a ROM to boot to use Unrevoked, correct?
I tried running Unrevoked while my phone was in recovery, but the Unrevoked 3.2 tool didn't like that too much.
My problem is that after installing a new ROM or restoring a Nandroid backup, the white HTC Incredible splash screen appears indefinitely. It doesn't seem to hand off into the ROM properly. I have gotten a ROM to boot all the way to the desktop before but it bootloops shortly thereafter.
I guess my path forward at this point is to try to get a ROM to boot to the homescreen, then run Unrevoked. Can I run Unrevoked on an already rooted ROM?
unrEVOked tool reports that it should not be run on any device that is not in perfect working order or it risks permanent damage.
PLEASE!!! Anyone that knows how I can flash back to a prior version of recovery please help.
Maybe I'm doing something else wrong... The only ROM I can successfully flash is Incredibly Re-engineered. Unfortunately this ROM has a bootloop issue after some time (known issue, see the development thread and lots of people have the same problem). To install a different ROM, I'm downloading via ROM Manager (SkyRaider or Virtuous for instance), clearing data and cache in recovery (with system and data mounted), running ROM .zip selected from SD card. After the ROM successfully installs and I choose to reboot, my phone sits on the white HTC Incredible splash screen indefinitely. Is there something else I'm missing to flash from Incredibly Re-engineered to another ROM?
Beware of ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 on your Incredible!

Well, I've found some success. I couldn't figure out how to install an old version of CWM Recovery outright, but ROM Manager was able to successfully install the "alternate" recovery RA_GNM. I used this recovery to flash SkyRaider 3.5. Luckily, SkyRaider 3.5 comes with ROM Manager v2.5.0.7, which thinks ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5 is the most recent recovery. So I was then able to flash back to CWM 2.5.0.5 using ROM Manager before it realized that 2.5.1.2 was the most recent version.
To summarize, I think my phone is back to normal.
PLEASE tread lightly when upgrading your Incredible to 2.5.1.2!
Okay so here's what happened:
I saw S-Off was released.
I decided to install the latest nightly before applying it. I was intoxicated.
I forgot to wipe data/factory reset. I DID NANROID, HOWEVER. I flashed the rom and gapps.
When I rebooted, it sits at the myTouch 3g Slide splash page.
At this page I have access to ADB on my pc, but for some reason can't write to any of the folders I tried.
Holding back while I reboot brings me too fastboot.
Fastboot will not flash the current nightly for me to my phone, when renamed update.zip. Fastboot also gives me an error trying to restore my nandroid piece by piece. It won't erase boot or recovery, nor will it flash those or the other pieces. It says it can send the file, but it fails on writing them.
In case the solution is to start from scratch and reroot etc., I tried that, but I cannot copy exploid to my phone, it says it doesnt have permission (same error as before).
I know this is fixable, and if anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful.
Also, I can provide any more details necessary.
Also, I can get to fastboot, hboot, recovery (not clockworkmod, the blank one with a phone icon and red arrow), and the splash page which seems to have limited ADB functionality.
HELP!
If you can get into the stock recovery, you can flash the clockwork update.zip and get into clockwork recovery. You need to do that and then reflash a ROM. If you broke root in all of this, then you won't be able to do that. I'm also assuming your s-off failed, it still is s-on? If so, that's probably why it isn't writing the partitions from your nandroid, but I'm not positive about that, since recovery can write to those partitions. If you need the clockwork update.zip, let me know and I'll attach it when I get home, I know their site is down at the moment. But yeah, get that clockwork update.zip on the root of your sd card and try flashing it through the stock recovery and then a custom ROM again. Report back whether it was successful or not
Hi
I was about to give my phone to my father, as i just got a new one. I was trying to clean up the system, so i did a partision on my sd card, and when i then tryed to reflash the phone using rom manager, i would get a error that /cache/update.zip was missing, even thought i tryed to reinstall rom manager. So i thought i could just boot to my clockwork, and do a factory reset there, so i did that. Now the phone wont boot, it just cycles throught the cyanogen boot animation. and if i go into clockwork everytime i try to select something, it just gives me a black screen, so i seems i cant reflash the device?
does any one got any ideas on how to get this phone alive again?
Did you successfully apply /sdcard/update.zip through ClockworkMod? Were there any errors? Which ClockworkMod version are you using?
You could try reflashing the Recovery partition through fastboot, although I believe you need a S-OFFed device to do that. If your device is S-ON you can use a RUU to unroot your device and then use Unrevoked to root it again. There should be a thread about that in the Desire Dev forum.
I tried something new and made a yaffs.img backup then tried to restore, my phone rebooted to bootloader screen but wont boot up and i cant get into my cmw recovery either...anybody got any ideas how to restore so i can boot up again? I have rebooted bootloader,factory reset,and even placed every ".img" i can think of in the root of my sdcard and still no luck any help would be greatly appreciated!
Have you flashed the RUU in hboot? If you can't get into recovery I guess you'd have to use a card reader to get it on your SD, but hopefully you can try that.
Hello, I'm new to the forum. So I'll try to explain my story as detailed as possible So,
This morning I decided to root my evo running 2.3 with REVOLUTIONARY s-off.
Then I flashed superuser on the evo. it worked perfectly. And I was rooted. But that wasn't the problem. The problem started when I tried to flash a custom rom on my evo. The rom was The kingdom rom, by virus. I put it on my ad card and went into recovery, recovery seemed a little different. It had a REVOLUTIONARY logo in recovery. I flashed the rom, it was succesful, I rebooted the device and I noticed it would just stay on the first white boot screen, the one that states htc evo 4g. I left it there for 10 minutes but it still didn't leave the boot. I took out the battery and went back into recovery, I reflashed the rom and rebooted the device but no luck, the same thing persisted. So I went BACK into recovery and mounted the USB hboot with my sd card, I then put a PC36IMG.zip and flashed that because I thought that would put everything back to stock. I rebooted the phone, put to my surprise, the pc36img file was loaded before I did anything on my boot loader screen.... It was flashed and it was rebooted, but no luck. I went back to my boot loader and tried to go back into recovery but it doesn't work!!! all I see now when I choose recovery is a picture of a phone with an exclamation point. This is weird but I think I'm partially rooted because in my boot loader it is s-off and has a REVOLUTIONARY boot logo.... Please help, I booted my device and all I see is the first boot screen, and I've seen that for 2 hours and 24 minutes.... Help me please!!!
Running an RUU replaces the recovery with the stock recovery, which is pretty much not a recovery. I believe if while on that screen (the red triangle recovery screen) if you hold both volume buttons at the same time you'll be given some options. Anyway, you just need to flash a recovery.
Here is Amon Ra: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
It's a PC36IMG file. Remove the other one and flash that. Then boot into recovery, wipe boot, data, cache, dalvik, sd-ext, and .android_secure. Then flash the rom or try a different one.
