Problem with Desire

Hey guys,
I went to flash a new stable build of Froyo on my Desire this morning.
And i backed up using Clockwork, and then the ROM all installed fine. But once the phone had booted up, it stayed on the custom boot logo, despite the keypad lighting up, the green charge LED coming on and me being able to lock and unlock the phone.
So i figured that this was a problem and went to back to restore my old ROM and carry on like i have done many times before. However once i have booted into Clockwork, and gone to the recovery section, i select my most recent backup and the device then says "No Files Found" in the recovery zip.
And when i try to install update.zip from my SDCard the device just flashes up with installation text for about 2 seconds then vanishes and goes back to the clockwork menu having done nothing
What can i do?

i wouldnt worry about it too much
your phone completely works and youre not restricted of any access
seeing that clockwork is not finding any files have you tried making a new backup?
have you tampered with the recovery lately?
if recovery is not finding any files then maybe there is a problem with it, and if i were you i'd reroot my phone with unrevoked to re-install recovery.
if your recovery actually just does not work it could mean that the recovery image is corrupt, this can be fixed by installing a RUU (note that this will unroot your phone but re-install the recovery image).
if this is not the case then im sure im soon to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable than me

Well, i wiped the Cache and Data and now the phone boots up and functions fine, however both mobile internet and Wi-Fi both dont work, but i figure this is just the rom i am using.
So i'm just gonna reroot, sideload clockwork and what not and then try putting the Desire HD rom on it haha.
Thanks for the help

[Q] bricked htc evo plzzzz help

hi if someone can help me with this it would be great i have a fully rooted htc evo i had myn rom flashed i did the back up and wipe to flash new rom and all of a sudden my phone shuts off and i get 5 vibrates while screen is black and the green light on the top of my evo is flashing i tryed to get into recovery and when i hit recovery it does the same thing screen turns black and green light flashes. when i turn my phone on normally it boots up to the rom i have installed but then after about 5min is shuts down and does the same thing anyone plz i really hope i didnt brick my beautiful evo.

You say the phone phone boots into the new rom and is fine for 5 minutes before this happens, so it's not bricked. if it was bricked, it wouldn't do anything at all.
Boot the phone normally, go get ROM Manager from the market and use it to reflash the recovery onto your phone. Then try booting into recovery again and see if you can restore your NAND or wipe and reflash the rom.

yea i had warm and like it comes up and then within 5 min the screen shuts down and vibrates 5 times ive tryed dl rom man from the market place and then an error comes up and then phone shuts down

yea i cant even dl rom manager it keeps telling me a network error has occured im lost right now

Have you singed into Google after flashing the new rom? Try doing that and also try accessing the market while you're connected on WiFi instead of 3G.

Try this...
Im assuming you can get into recovery. Clockwork or amen Ra. Wipe EVERYTHING. Then on your stock ROM sign into google and try to DL Rom manager off of the market. Once its downloaded flash a new ROM or just go to your backed up ROM....
Dont panic. Should be simple enough

yes once you get into recovery everything else should be a breeze

what if i reboot into recovery and clear storage will that work i cant dl rom manager at all and if i hit recovery it shuts the phone off and vibrates 5 times

I Think you should do this, and it saddens me it wasn't mentioned yet.
Go to the dev section of this forum and find the thread for Amon-Ra 2.3 and open that threat and download the PC36IMG.ZIP file and place it on the root of your SD card, if need be you may need a microsd card reader for your coomputer.
next, boot the phone up holding down power and volume up for fastboot. When it asks if you want to flash the PC36IMG.ZIP recovery image, hit volume up to accept.
now try and boot into recovery again and see what happens.
btw, since I am nice, here is that thread you need.

If it didn't ask you if you wanted to update, then the file is named incorrectly or it is not on the root of your SD card. Make sure the PC36IMG file is not inside an folders. Also, make sure you did not add .zip to the end because if you did, the file is now named PC36IMG.zip.zip and your phone won't recognize it.
You can also name the file "update.zip" and then look for the option in recovery to flash update.zip and do it that way. Again, file must be in the root of your SD card and not in any folders.

sry about all this bro im kinda new with this and im learning and ty soo much for helping me out if i had a damn cell phone id just have you call me hahaha and walk me through it your deff getting the ty button if you can help me get my evo back ill donate like 20 bucks lol

should i unzip the files in the zip folder or put the whole zipped folder on the root of my sd card

just but the zip on your sd card do not extract it...

curious if this worked for him...

no i cant seem to get this to work i did everything that was told of me to do and still nothing when i hold down the volume button and power button to boot into recovery and i hit recovery it goes to the htc white screen and then all of a sudden my phones screen turns black and vibrates 5 times and in the top left hand corner the green light will flash and keep flashing and in order to restart my phone i have to pull the battery i cant just power it down

Having a similar problem too, keeps doing a boot loop, in the bootloader (clockworkmod) i cant get into recovery, tried many different pc36img.zip files to no avail. Mine gets to the 'htc EVO 4g' screen, holds a few seconds, then reboots, shows the white screen and reboots again, continues until i pull battery.
Trying more and more img.zips, hopefully i can find the right one to atleast get back to stock.

Just download the RUU. That will get you back to stock, but then you would need to re-root.

i tryed that but it came up error that my usb cord was not connected to my pc make sure its connected to phone and pc

Without using adb, I think running the ruu and starting over is your best bet.

[Q] major confusion

hi all, my wife has been running cm6.1 and lately it has had a few issues, so i go to download through rom manager, it fails downloading several times, download on a computer and transfer it over, boot into recovery through rom manager(i feel retarded for this one... no back up, didnt wipe) and install, well, it goes to the cm boot animation, sits for a long time, then i remember i didnt wipe so i attempt to get back into recovery and wipe, well, some how, the phone managed to go back to the stock recovery... needless to say i became very very confused...
does anyone have any insight?
thanks in advance

If you havent s-off, then you probably will see stock recovery and need to flash the update.zip to get to clockworkmod. I think i remember that right.

i finally did get cm 7 up and running, and in rom manager it says that i have the latest availible clockwork recovery, but i can only get to it if i rebot to recovery through rom manager, if i go through the boot loader, it takes me to the black screen with the ! in the triangle, then after several button pushes takes me to stock recovery

This happens because ROM Manager reads the altered 'update.zip' from your SD card and it is recommended you use that program (app) to do all your loading and ROM stuff. Though if your phone is powered off you can hold Volume Down and power then after getting to the Triangle "!" screen pressing volume up and power gets you to altered 'update' screen.

[Q] CM 7.0.3 cannot connect to wifi

hey guys, i've just flashed CyanogenMod 7.0.3 to my device and the wifi turns on, can see wifi networks and accepts my WEP password, however hangs at "Obtaining IP address...", eventually disconnecting and trying all over again.
I was previously running the 7.0 release with no problems and in my newb naivety i failed make a backup of the ROM.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Now i cant boot into recovery. I just get the bootloader screen (i think? the white one with the skateboarding Androids at the bottom?) and selecting Recovery just sends me back there. This has now gone from an expected easy fix to something thats starting to get me worried. Can anyone help?

Do a full wipe and re-install the rom again, chances are something corrupted the 1st install which does happen apparently.Don't worry too much mate, over the past 2 weeks ive installed and re-installed about a dozen times and on a few occasions been in exactly the same spot your in.

thanks, but no can do. I cant boot into recovery and thus cant wipe and re-install...

Dumb question, you are holding down the volume(down) and power button at the same time to get into recovery mode??

Wow that's weird, try going into ROM Manager and flashing a different version of Recovery.

thanks for the responses guys. Yeah im doing the vol down + power to get to recovery. I cant get further than the white skateboarding Android screen. ROM manager doesnt let me flash new recovery versions because there aren't any.

You can flash a older recovery, scroll to the bottom when in RomManager and select All ClockworkMod Recoveries and try to flash something like 3.0.0.6
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk

yeah when i do that i get "No legacy recoveries found"
EDIT: i turned on my mobile data and now i can choose older recoveries from ROM manager but i still cant boot there regardless of which one i choose
PS can a mod change the title of the thread cos i realize now my problem is more to do with booting into recovery rather than the wifi issues. Thanks

reading around it seems like i need to use fastboot to reflash the recovery.img from my computer. will try it tonight

[Q] Help Please

I got this screen today on my htc evo 4g and cant get past it. I dont know if I killed my phone or what so i am hoping someone can help me. the picture isnt the greatest but is an android with a white box and an arrow. it just keeps looping.

Were you flashing something before this happened?
A radio update maybe?
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

i flast mikfroyo 4.62 and it was fine, then under titanium backup i accidently, restored andriod keyboard(which kept force closing it was from a different rom) so i did something and it asked to uninstall i said yes and now it goes to that screeen

You should just reflash
We're comin from a pure power source.

when i try to do anything in recovery it goes to that screen

When the screen finishes installing whatever it is installing, turn off your device. Now simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text should scroll across the screen. At the top, you should see either S-ON or S-OFF. Hopefully, it will display S-OFF. if it does not, you need to re-root. If it displays S-ON, go to the options on the left side of the screen and select recovery. Your phone will then boot into recovery. Once in recovery, restore a nandroid backup, if you've made any. If not, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card and then reflash whatever rom you want to flash. If you continue to return to the screen you posted, you may need to re-flash a recovery. I suggest amon_RA. You can flash its PC36IMG.zip from file from the bootloader screen (The screen I directed you to at the beginning of my reply).

Yes it does say S-off, the screen that i took a picture of the status bar at the bottom goes about half way across and then starts over again, it will go to the bootloader screen but will not engage to recovery, i do have backups i always run one before i change anything

Okay, then download the PC36IMG.zip file for amon_RA recovery by clicking on "amon_RA" in my previous post. When the download is finished, place the file on the root of your SD card (not in any folder) and then shutdown your device. Boot back into the bootloader screen. The bootloader should autodetect the file and prompt you to install. Follow the easy prompts to install. Installation should be less than 10 seconds. When you're finished, reboot into your new recovery. From there, you should be able to flash roms again. If you used amon_RA to make your backups, you *should* be able to restore them, but if you used clockworkMod, then do not attempt to restore using amon_RA.

all of my recoveries are clockworkmod, so after i change to amon ra flash a rom that i have saved and the other recoveries dont use?

Yes, the main thing is to get you up and running with a working rom. After that, I suggest you make a backup using amon_RA, however, if you want to use the backups you made with CWM, then after you've successfully flashed a rom, download the ROM Manager app and have it install ClockworkMod for you. Afterwards, you should be able to restore your previous backups.

I agree with the getting up and running part, i have heard amon ra is alot better than clockworkmod, but just hadnt tried it yet, keeping my fingers crossed that this will work, just guessing here that since i have gotten some great feedback, that i didnt brick my phone?

If your phone starts and you can get to the bootloader or recovery, you ARE NOT BRICKED!...lol

dougjamal thank you so much it got past the screen and it is acting like nothing ever happened, this is a prime reason why these forums are great, thank you everyone for reading and responding

You're very welcome, my friend. I'm glad I was able to help. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day...
