Hi, I have searched everywhere on XDA and on google and couldn't find a solution for my problem.
I wanted to root my device using VISIONary+. When I tried to do the permanent root, it rebooted my phone once, and then black screen, reboot a second time and I get stuck on the recovery screen.
I took out the battery, sd-card and sim, tried again, same result.
If I try to do a wipe (both data/factory reset and cache partition), I end up with the same result.
When I try to "Apply sdcard:update.zip", I get -- Invalid operation. -- and then the same result.
What causes this to happen and how can one fix this?
Oh and on the screen it says: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Android system recovery <3e>
...
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
--------
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Did the temp root (which you WILL have done first) work ok? Did you remember to tick the required options?

Thanks for the quick reply!!!
Yes. The the temp root was fine. When I went to do the permanent root, it asked for root access, I selected "allow access" and then my phone rebooted.
Now I'm stuck with a black screen, a phone and a red triangle (Recovery mode).
Racking my brain as this happened to me but was a while ago now.
There is a way to reboot the phone without pulling the battery, some combination of volume button and power button but failing that if you pull out battery the phone should reboot as usual. If you can get it to there double check the Visionary thread to ensure every step is followed.
Sorry, one question I should have asked is what HTC version are you on? You will probably need to downgrade or use the gold card method if it's 1.82+

Even I take the battery out, I still end up back in the recovery mode.
Is this gonna cost me to go to go back to the store and have them fix it for me?
I would love to be able to do it myself.
And yes, I followed every step.
Sorry, it's the software info I need (settings -> About Phone).
I will bet that you're on 1.82+ in which case you will need to create a goldcard (there's a recent thread in the General section on this matter) and downgrade the software first.
That was what I had to do.
Turn the phone off by what ever means then press vol - TOGETHER with the power button (takes you to recovery) then select reboot option there (again, can't remember what the default options are but one should be for rebooting device.

All the help forums require me to be inside android and set it to be HTC sync... Doesn't help much if I can't start android in the first place.
I went to the reboot device, and I'm still stuck... How can I get out of it?
Nothing I own has windows on it thus I did manage to sort this out, when I was in same boat, without windows thus without HTC Sync. I just needed a windows machine (work) to create the gold card.
I am almost certain that I could get the phone to reboot after getting to the same stage using the volume buttons and power button from the red triangle screen (sure it was vol+ And power button (press vol+ first). You should then see a new menu.

I can access the menu. It's vol+ first, and then power button. As I said in the first post, I am presented with 4 menu items. None of them is helping me.
Is there a way to flash from recovery mode, etc? Or do I have to go back to the store and have them fix this for me?
Even I create the gold card, I can't do anything in recovery mode. I need to get out of recovery mode first.
I've googled some more, and I found that you can recover using backup.zip, but I like I said, I get "-- Invalid operation. --".
Sorry, I need to go out for a few hours.
Found this thread and whilst the OP ended up sending phone back there are some useful things in it to try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035027&highlight=Visionary+red+triangle
Let me know how you get on and I'll try and come back to you on my return if no one else has popped by first.
Stay positive, this happened to me and I got it sorted. Just wish I could remember what I did.

It reboots, I see HTC and then black, then I see HTC see again, and I'm back into recovery mode again.
Just encountered something weird... Upon loading the bootloader, I see a quick flash that it complains about images that aren't found or something. Can this be it? How did this happen? I saw it earlier today and just now.

Is your phone rooted?
Hold up volumne and hit the power button and the same time.
Then when the menu appears, hit the power button while "reboot" is highlighted.
Nothing much to it usually

do you mean the bootloader menu? i get 4 options:
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
i selected recovery, then i got the reboot option.
the phone just hanged on startup (white background, green HTC logo).
selecting recovery gives me the same error i described in my first post.
is your phone debranded?
Anyway, you should probably run 1.21 RUU from fastboot to return to previous rom

djoni1980, I just need to say..
Youre my hero!! My stock phone displayed the same problem. Tried your solution and now i am back in business! thank you VERY much!!!
I suggest to both of you to root phones using unrevoked, and then flash radio and rooted froyo when it arrives (later today ).
It is actually much safer - you can backup everything with titanium, do nandroid backup from recovery, wipe everything before you flash (which could be the cause of boot loop), and restore everything after successfull installation with titanium

Stuck in a bootloop? Remove the battery. Go into the recovery, perform a full-wipe and flash again. If that not helps then boot youre phone again in the recovery and .....then:
Format youre sdcard from the recovery into swap=0, ext=512, remainder=fat32. You will loose all there is on youre sdcard.
Then after formatting. Turn off the phone. Take out the sdcard and copy the rom to youre sdcard. Put it back in the phone. Start youre phone in the recovery and flash the rom.
Thanks for the quick reply.!
The problem is i am unable to login to my phone. So how will i be able to flash the phone? only if i log in can i use rom manager isnt it? I am a total newbie at this. I would really appreciate it if you could explain this in detail to me!
thanks!
as I know power button with volume down together then wait then use volume down
to highlight recovery then power to enter.
It is explained in the first post of thus forum.
Hold down the back key while pushing the power button.
You will get a menu
Select Bootloader (by pressing power button)
Then wait for 10 seconds on the next menu
Scrol to Recovery with the volume-down button
Then you'll wait ten seconds and get a black screen with red traingle
now connect your phone to the pc with usb
start a adb recovery on the pc (for this you must have a recovery on the pc installed as well as Android SDK) in my case I just run the file recovery-windows.bat
Then you'll get a menu on your phone wit a lot of options, you can even select Ms-usb toggle after wich you can acces your sd card.
I am not a developer but think this is quite it. Download links are all in teh first thread of this forum.
Could you tell me if this would work?
I'll first wipe the phone, including the cache.
Then I'll copy paste the zip file of the Nextsense rom onto an sd card from my PC, insert into my phone, go to recovery mode, go to the sdcard-update.zip menu, and select the nextsense zip file.
Will that work?
Please help me out. and cheers to all u guys who took the trouble to reply so quickly. thanks..
I finally got it to work. All i did was I went into the recovery console, selected factory reset. and it got alright. Only problem is that i think my sd card got busted in the process. No idea what happened to it. It is not even getting detected by my laptop. I guess i ll have to get a new one. Thanks a ton to all the xda guys for helping me out. this forum is really kickass! I shall definitely return to xda to get help on further issues!
reformat your SD card , that should fix it !
Thanks! yeah, formatting the sdcard fixed it. Finally working properly now..
HTC desire stuck in bootscreen
I have the same problem with my desire. While loading a ROM with ROM manager the phone rebooted and started to install the ROM. But while it was installing it i error message came up and the phone froze. And after that it get stuck at the bootscreen. I've read the posts written earlier about this problem, but nothing works.
When I push volume down + power on the phone should think for a second and then show green texts about the SD card etc, but when this message shows it says it can't find anything on the SD card. And when I enter fastboot -> bootloader, it just throws me back to the home menu.. any ideas what to do?
you have to use recovery option in the bootloader
Unless you pushed the NewSense ROM via ADB you're most likely going to get a bootloop. After reading statements in the flashable versions of that ROM, that's what I've gathered: Bootloops.
Either wipe everything and install another ROM or install it the 'old school' way, using ADB.
hi i'm new here,
Currently my Desire totally can't boot up..it stuck on the HTC Welcome screen..
I already remove the battery and restart it..
Also done with the Hard Reset method.
Fyi, my Desire still in stock condition (Android 2.1)
Need some advise regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance guy's =)
Hi I've the same issue as biskut here. The only deference is that have 2.2.
can you please help us noobs

Hey.
I tried to s-off my phone using alpharev and I had the "waiting for flashing to complete". I tried to check if the proces was running with some commands and it seem as if I managed to restart the proces. I finally gave up and removed the phone. Probably too early because now I can only get bootscreen and Clockwordmod recovery. I'm unable to get further than that and therefore I'm not able to start the s-off proces again.
Can anybody help me?

What method did you use. What is your phone software and hardware setup?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
this is the method that i used [ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root ~~~ v2.2 (works with all version)(2/1/11). im sure i did something wrong do not want to make it seem like i am placing the blame on the dev that wrote this. as for the other info well lets just say im an ass cus i didnt write it down like it was recomended. if it helps any i bought it a month ago max 2 months not shure it that helps.
Can you Boot into Recovery? (Hold Power+Volume Down when phone is off)
Did you create a Nandroid backup?
yes i did trying it now thank you for the help
after i boot into recovery what is next
go down to where it says recovery using the down volume button and click on with the the power button. Hopefully this will take you into recovery mode. If it does take you into recovery mode go down to where it says wipe cache partition and click on it and select wipe. Then go to where it says advanced and click on it. Then click on dalvik cache and click on the then select wipe. If you can do this they you can try to reboot your phone. If not. Let me know.
If you didn't do a backup and you can get into recovery you can do a data factory reset. Its on the green recovery menu.
If you cant get into any of that and you get stuck on a red triangle try holding the power button and the volume up and you should see a menu with a factory reset. click on that and it should wipe your phone.
i tried the first step and it did not take me to recovery mode and of course i did not do a back up cus im a dumb ass. I did manage to get to the screen with the red triangle and did a factory rest. ok another stupid question do i reboot the system or select apply sdcard update zip.
if you did a factory data reset just reboot. Hopefully this will get you back.
It might take a few extra minutes to start up so give it a few extra minutes.
on the white htc evo screen
has it been more that 5 minutes.
still on the evo screen sorry about the delay was talking to my wife, she doesnt know i screwed up my phone had to keep her occupied
Ok give me a minute. Were having storms here so my internet is slow. First you will need a SD card for your phone. Clean it out except for one file you will need to download.
You need to download pc36ing. Zip for 3. 70. 651. 1 just search the form and you can get it for free.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
got the card and the file extracting it to the new sd card as i type this
ok dont extract the file. Just put the whole zip file on the sd card. Once you do this turn off the phone. Pull the battery if you have to. Then start the phone by holding the power button down and the down volume button. This should that us to the boot loader. One click down you should see the HBOOT usb at the bottom. Click down to go there. Once there click the power button then select fastboot, then bootloader. If everything went well you should be ask to flash something. Then select your file on the sd card.
i see what happened. this is why i dont use auto scripts. if one command fails, there is no possible way to find out which. just unroot using an ruu or a pc36img.zip and then do zikronix's there will be root tutorial. i'll link it in my sig soon.
doesnt appear to be reading the file says no image. to be honest not sure if i am doing this right. did you want me to use two different sd cards.
make sure it's named pc36img.zip exactly. and is on the root of ur sdcard (not in any folders). i have the method linked in my sig now btw.

try to follow the above link. This might be a little easier. Don't worry your phone can see be saved. If all else fails your phone is not rooted so you can take it to Sprint and tell them that your phone is jacked and you need a warranty replacement. Last resort.

explain your semi bricked status... how do you know its semi bricked? which step did he miss?
also you be better off asking in guide how to recover semi bricked phone rather than asking in Q & A....experienced mods usually follow that thread and reply to ppl who have queries
it wont go into the Android OS, it just stays stuck at HTC. No further. And he didnt tell me, but he watched a video on youtube.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
go straight to the rooting section and try to find out which method was he using to root your phone... when you narrow that down try to find which step he missed.....when all thats done than either post here exactly which method was he using and which step he missed.....or post in the semi bricked page.....
right now the most current recommended method is using Gfree...
also try to see if you have access to your recovery and if clockworkmod recovery is installed or not....
for that take out your battery and put it back in.... hold volume down and power button....
it will boot into boot loader
give it few seconds to display that "waiting for SD card Pb10.img not found"
than use volume down button to navigate to recovery and use power button as click selection..... if it boots up into clockworkmod recovery than you have custom recovery installed
Yeah i dont have CWM installed, just checked. And what my brother told me is that he was "temporary rooted" then he tried to "perm root", but actually, he didnt go to youtube, he tried to perm root using the VISIONary method.

Well i also cant do any adb steps because adb doesnt detect my G2 (although it detects it when im in recovery (the menu with a phone and red exclamation point) but it says its offline) i can only use fastboot
and btw my G2 is S-ON
and i have done factory resets and nothing
I'm not as experianced as a lot of the but have you tryed the pc10img via fast boot? That might work scince everything is stock on your phone
/edit have you gone the the adb guides it took me a few times but I finally got it...adb looks the best way to go

yeah but when i use PC10IMG it just says main version is older (or something like that) and says update failed.
and yeah i have seen tons of ADB guides, but still doesnt work what guide did you use? how'd you do it?

it might be because you tried the 1.12 verison pc10img.zip and your phone came with updated 1.19 version
PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b _26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
try this one by putting in your sd card. your phone should flash it and it shouldnt say version is older...
download from here
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
when you put it in sd card rename it to just PC10img.zip and reboot into bootloader and when it asks you to flash. let it flash
I'll try that right now, but I think I did use the 1.19 one but can't recall.
I'll edit this post to tell you if it works
EDIT:It still says Main Version is Older...you think i need to use the 1.12 one?
BTW here is my G2 info (radio version etc.)
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.82.0000

This is a link to the latest update for Tmobile G2. Give this a try and see if it works for you.
http://android.clients.google.com/p...US_1.22.531.8-1.1.19.531.1_release_signed.zip
# Rename the file to “update.zip” (If you don’t see the file extension, assume it’s already in zip format and just name the file ‘update’)
# Transfer the file to the root of the SD card (in no folder)
# Turn G2 off.
# Turn G2 on by holding power and holding volume down. Once it boots, you’ll be given a white screen with Androids skateboarding. Wait for the green text to flash on the screen, and then by using your volume up and down keys, go to recovery and press the power button,
# The phone will reboot itself into recovery, and you will see a black screen with a phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle. We need to see the text in the recovery, so at the same time press the power button and volume up. It may take a few tries.
# Once the text appears, using the volume rocker, navigate to Apply sdcard:update.zip
# Let it install and reboot your phone.

thank you both for helping,ill thank your guys post
EDIT: i read the guide (at least i think its the one your talking about, there are a ton of guides out there of how to unroot) and it says i need to get the misc.img from my phone....i cant because i cant adb since it doesnt detect my phone (but fastboot does)

Sorry that didn't work for you. Here's another method and zip you can try...its worked for some others:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10583834&postcount=33
Alright ill try that out thanks
EDIT:Hmm...thats strange. Right after it checks the PC10IMG.zip ,it doesnt tell me anything else, it just goes back to the recovery menu (where it shows Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset etc.) shouldnt it say if i wanted to update?
Well I think it loads the pc10 and then auto does it it might ask first tho I'm not sure...there have been issues with windows 7abd what os are you running?

You really haven't supplied any useful information, where we could even begin to try to help you.
Have you connected your phone to your computer successfully before, and only recently not working? Did you change anything?

Well, apparently you don't know what you're talking about. There is no such thing as rooting on Windows Mobile. You're talking about HardSPL.
Did you install the HTC drivers or HTC Sync?
To find out whether your phone is rooted go into the bootloader (turn phone off, then hold volume down when you power it back on). When the bootloader starts up if it says "S-OFF" at the top of the screen you are rooted. If it says "S-ON" then you are not.

i got info and its rooted... there is is an factory reset button
I got HBOOT...
Hboot0.82.0008
my Radio is-26.13.04. 19_m
I just want to be the little italian man (mario) i need to insert roms
you could still downgrade with PC10IMG.zip file (download link in rooting guide on wiki). Than it should be working fine - but you loose root!
(last time I was rerooting it took me less than 5 minutes, so it should not be such a big problem )
anyother thoughts?

Try a different computer/USB cable?
Can ADB see your device when it's plugged in?
Are you S-OFF? If so, try flashing a different ROM and see if the problem goes away.
Like others said, too difficult to definitively say what's going wrong without you providing some more information.

i am s off
how do you flash a custom rom, im stupid and cant find it :'( and btw this has to be through an sd card cause i think cant do nothing with my usb :/
do you have root permitions ? if so - download rom manager (at market), at first click on flash clockwork recovery and when its done take "download rom" - choose which one you want to and follow the steps that will rom manager tell you.
otherwise you could (after flashing recovery) put some rom to your sdcard, go to the recovery (power button + volume up; take care to not have pc10img file on your sdcard in that moment) - go to the recovery, wipe data /cache, advanced - wipe battery status / dalvik; back , instal zip - choose zip file with rom - and you are ready to go.
... says an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands D:
i do have recovery mode what can i do with that?
