Hye guys,
When i wiped my rom, backuped my current and installed the new CM 6.1 RC, i am stuck at boot-loop.
The cm mod logo just reappears, and nothing further happens.
When i press power and volume down, and choose recovery, i just get this exclamation mark with a triangle around the mark over a desire.
Anyone got a suggestion to what i can do? the led seems to work fine.
Any help would be appriciated.
cheers
I have the same. Tried loading 6.0.2 first which works well but not getting past boot on 6.1

Well that is the standard htc recovery. That is the recovery installed to your phone if you didn't install another one. So if you rooted usings pauls method, you have probably been using fake flash to access recovery. So do the following to enter your fake flash recovery:
1. when on the triangle screen hold "volume up" and press "power button"
2. use volume and power button to select "flash update.zip"
3. now clockwork mod(your normal recovery) should appear, and you can just restore your backup.
Now lets hope you didn't install it in the order you mentioned:

This way your backup will contain a couple of empty partitions.. because you would have wiped it first. I hope you were not that stupid
And a note: please don't mess with things you clearly don't have a clue about. You clearly do not know, what you are doing to your phone and are just pushing buttons according to some guide.

So you wan't HTC to take care of a problem you created by hacking your phone? Take some responsibility and if you dont know how to install roms and how they work. Just don't.(note to OP above also applies to you)
And finally sorry for being a little rough on you guys but seriously such problems could be easily solved by the individual just by reading up on the subject of rooting as the above info should be common knowledge.
Things I can do:
- Get to bootloader screen
- Plug in USB, pop in batter and get to fastboot USB (PC detects "Android 1.0" at this point but can't find a driver for it).
- Attempt to load ESPRIMG.zip from root of sdcard but always get "Main version is older!" and "update failed!" followed by a prompt to reboot device.
Things I can't do:
- Boot up the phone past the splash screen
- Go into recovery/fastboot; recovery dumps me to the splash and hangs there and fastboot just brings me right back to the bootloader menu.
Phone was working a few hours ago and then when I powered it down it never made it back past the splash screen.
Am I screwed?

Delete ESPRIMG.zip from your sd card. It tries to load it every time you start up.
That happened to me before and I didn't know what was going on lol.
It wasn't on there before I put it there. I was trying to get it back to the factory image. Whenever I went to the boot screen it was always looking for ESPRDIAG.zip or ESPRIMG.zip. If I delete it, nothing new happens, still hangs.
/bump
Still stuck. :/
Hmm odd situation.I no I had a problem but I left it on the splash screen for about five minutes and it finally booted you can try leaving it there and see of it eventually boots but if it takes 10 minutes plus then forget it. Though idk why you can't boot into recovery. when you have it plugged into your computer does adbe recognize it? Maybe you can do something with adb

Adb only sees the phone if its in recovery or fully booted. I'm pretty sure fastboot.exe is what is used to debug fastboot and earlier boot stages.

You're hijacking a thread, you should make your own. Simple answer to your question though; reflash a rom in recovery. If you need more info make your own thread.

I didn't have ESPRING.zip to begin with since I deleted it after rooting. So I download the stock ESPRING and ran it through Bootloader. It prompted me to update so I did.
After the update finishes it asks me to reboot. So I do and then I'm stuck on the splash/boot screen again.
When I first rooted I deleted the expressimg.zip and left the update.zip (recovery) just incase something like this happened ...
Boot up using power + volume down then its gonna try to look for espressimg.zip ...it will tell you its not found..then use the volume button to go to recovery..push power to select then its gonna take you to the screen with the red triangle/exclamation mark screen ..press and hold power and volume up for a little (if it doesn't work keep tryn till you get the stock blue recovery to pop up)...the stock recovery will pop up..then it will prompt you to apply update. Zip from sd card (clockwork recovery) ..select it and you should be in clockwork ...then do what you gotta do...
Its happened to me a few times and this always does the job
Hope this helps if not I'm sorry and keep tryn
You HAVE to have update.zip (clockwork recovery) on your SD card..(not in any folders, on the root of the card) in order for this to work!!!
If you don't have it push to SD card via adb

It's my understanding that without having the security off on our phones, the espresso recovery is not modifiable. What this essentially means is that, either the recovery should be there and fine (and by "fine" I mean, you get a triangle with an exclamation mark in it) because no ROM can currently touch it.
Me thinks that, if you are not able to get to the stock recovery (not Clockwork, but the basic, bare bones one) than your phone is probably having bigger issues. I would test this by doing the following:
1. Boot into the boot loader (I believe it's power and Volume Down at the same time when the device is turned off).
2. Wait for the device to finish it's grumblings (if you have the ESPER.IMG file on there, I think it actually checks it and even asks if you want to install it -- if it does, say no).
3. Select the option for recovery (with the volume keys).
4. I think it's power again to execute the option.
If you get to a nice black screen with a picture of your phone on there with a red triangle, then your phone is in business. We can probably convince it to behave. If that far doesn't go, me thinks something is wrong with the bits of your phone that current ROM modders can't write to...

Hm... Does your Slide have a 0 on the keyboard or a 0 with a line through it (where the 0 key actually is)? I know this sounds like an odd questions, but bear with me for a moment...
For the first however many months, Slides could be rooted by fooling the thing into booting a modded Clockwork Recovery and then gaining root that way. All the work had to basically be done while in recovery (unlike the exploid method). The newer Slides, from what I understand, no longer have that flaw and the method doesn't work.
This method (http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1856-rooting-the-slide/page__p__17094#entry17094) (sorry have no idea where Eugene's copy of this has gone in the dev section).

Hey,
thanks for the help. I just have a problem.
I can't get to recovery. When I do, it goes to the T-Mobile splash screen. I do have update.zip and ESPRING.zip in the root of my SD card, but I don't have exspressimg.zip. However, I don't think it matters since I can't get into recovery.
I also tried using a different update.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Espresso with no luck.

ESPRIMG.zip is what I meant lol sorry
And no it doesn't matter.... does this happen when you select "recovery" from fastboot? Or when youre on the red triangle/exclamation point screen? you shouldn't be taken to the tmo splash screen...don't hold power and vol up for too long cuz it will reboot the phone and take you to splash screen (maybe that's what ur doing)
If you're in the red triangle screen hold power and vol up for no more then one second..keep pushing till the blue stock recover pops up

Rooted my Incredible yesterday...with relative ease...some very helpful guides out there.
After searching a little...I can't find anything similar to my issue, and the pieces I can find don't piece together for me.
Was accessing hboot (power plus volume -) this morning and accidentally hit the power button to select "fastboot", rather than the "recovery" option i was wanting to get to to make another backup since I had added a few apps after my root.
My phone booted into froyo without any issue...and all my rooted apps worked fine (mainly wireless tether...the main reason I rooted). I shut down the phone and attempted to access hboot again...but got 5 vibrates and a green blinking led, with a blank black screen.
Pulled the battery...and let the phone boot normally (which I was hoping for since I thought I may have bricked it) and all is well...still with root applications working fine. I have tried hboot again with same result (5 vibrates and green flashing led), so I have let the phone stay with froyo for fear that if i screw around with it too much I may brick it after all.
Am I over-reacting to the lack of hboot? Suggestions for a fix are appreciated!
This is wierd, the only time ive heard this prob is when someone tries to flash a rom and then this happens. Sry man i have no idea its strange

Download Rom Manager if you dont already have it a then install CWM recovery through it. It just sounds like it didn't install correctly the first time. That usually works for me when I get the problem of only being able to get into HBoot and Fastboot.
i rescently flashed 2.2 android on my motorola defy, and i loaded a new boot scren animation and ever since my phone won't boot right i get the AA logo and it restarts instead of loading the new boot animation, restarts itself over and over, i wanted to try to reflash it so i held down power and volume down thing and i clicked on bottom right corner and nothing, i continued to click all around and nothing, NO RECOVERY menu came up at all so i cannot whipe it, can anyonje help please?

You will have to install a new sbf...
For that you need to go to bootloader (Power+volume UP)
Install RSD Lite and flash the new sbf!
It may fix it..
EDIT!!
Try Power and Volum Down and if you see an android with a yeallow triangle, Press the buttons as mentioned in the post below and you'll go to stock recovery.
Try volume up and down really fast. Not touching bottom corner. I don't even have my Defy yet but I'm sure I read this!

Most things are the same for defy and defy+
Off course not the downgrade and warranty stuff.
"I downgraded from CM7 to Stock / Installed a new SBF but I'm having bootlops: (!) If this is happening to you, after flashing the Stock SBF, enter in Stock Recovery and do a full wipe (Data/Cache) and reboot."
"How do I enter Recovery Mode?!: With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear, if you are on Éclair the menu should appear without having to press anything."
Hope it helps
Edit:
Didn't see the (!), it says not for Defy+, you can try
maybe you have flashed a wrong sbf, that make it brick, we call it fake brick in China
thankssssssss labsin!!!! great
