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.

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
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.
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
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

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?
ok so i had posted lat night where for what ever reason after being rooted and having wicked rom running after doing a nandroid back up phone wouldn't go past boot screen. every time i try to go to recovery it shows samsung boot screen and see on top that it is going into recovery mode. after like 2 seconds it reboots and goes back to boot screen. i was able to get into download mode and flashed stock rom in odin. every things works fine as far as that. one strange thing is the phone sd card is pretty much full. i have done a factory reset every thing was back to normal. once again phone memory is full. i have loaded the root file on my ext sd card. load a recovery through odin. that works fine. still won't go into recovery. how can i fix this issue. i really just want the stock rom with recovery and root so i can run a few programs that require root. also how much extra space should i have on the phone memory after loading stock rom back up. any help would be greatly appreciated. btw this is not my first time having a rooted and custom rom phone. i had all that working on my htc amaze 4g.

lol wow. don't know how that worked. every time before when i wanted to get into recovery i held it until it actually went into recovery. thanks:good:
My phone is verizon s4 sch-i545 when I try to boot up in recovery mode it shows booting in recovery but it just boots up normally .I wanted to do a factory reset but the factory reset just restarts my phone and when I try to get into recovery mode for a hard reset I cant boot into recovery mode. I don't know what to do
For recovery, try holding down the volume up, home and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button only. Keep pressing the volume up and home button. When you see the dead android, release all buttons.
