I installed ROM Manager and Clockwork Mod earlier this day, but then I wanted to use AmonRa and ROM Manager can't seem to find the recovery image so I did it via Unrevoked3. It didn't work.
Then I brushed it off and backed up my data, work fine. But after that it started to boot endlessly--I can enter the HBoot AND recovery, but in the recovery mode I can't do anything. If I clicked on something the screen turned blank and if I clicked it again the screen refreshed but nothing happened.
The recovery doesn't seem to have any background image as well--is it normal? I don't have any ROM, rooted of course. How can I fix this?
PLEASE help!

Boot your phone into fastboot and run a stock ruu. This will return your phone back to stock. Then run unrevoked and select amonra.
You cannot use rom-manager with amonra-recovery, it's incompatible.

Hi everyone. I'm having some problems with my Recovery which I can't seem to figure out:
I tried to mod my phone with CM6.1 the other day using ROM Manager. ROM downloaded and started to install, no problems. When it tried to boot up again, it got stuck in a loop at the CM loading screen. When I tried to reboot in to Clockword Mod Recovery, all I got was a picture of a phone with a triangle (can't remember which colour - think it was green). Eventually I realised that was a stock recovery and managed to get my phone restored to my backup but I can't seem to get my recovery to go to anything but the stock one. Rom Manager reports Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed and I've tried using Rom Manager, Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works - I'm still at the built-in recovery.
Now, If I boot in to recovery, I get the red triangle and a message on screen stating "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".
If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
"Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works" make sure youre trying to flash a .img file
"Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed" that because the recovery (.zip) is saved on the SDCARD. When booting Recovery from ROM Manager, youre fake-flashing the file (.zip)
"If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock." thats fake-flashing
what HBOOT are you on??
EDIT: You should S-OFF your Desire "http://alpharev.nl/".
WARNING: When using S-OFF your flashing a custom HBOOT. If that goes wrong, it may brick your Desire. If you use S-OFF, then you can flash a permanent recovery using fastboot
Thanks Chris. Any idea why it would have reverted though? I used to have a permanent version of ClockworkMod until the other week
Edit: HBOOT just says 0.80.0000 and has 3 androids on skateboards

Go back to stock, download the original ruu for you phone. After that try rooting again.
Rats - had a feeling that may be the answer. Think I'll be able to restore a backup?

I fake-flash all the time. I once messed up a ROM's installation and got stuck because it messed up the recovery too.
The loop startup is probably caused by older cache from your previous ROM. Just boot up recovery again, clear cache and restore factory settings and then flash your CM again. Should do the trick.

Flashed my HBOOT with AlphaRev - those guys are brilliant, coding that!
Thank you for your help!
Bingo!
Think I've nailed it now!
I used Fastboot Commander [v.1.0] to flash Amon-RA which took and stayed!
To confirm: I installed AlphaRev bootloader to S-OFF then Fastboot Commander to flash Amon-RA. Hopefully, I'll now be able to flash Clockwork Recovery again (as I use Rom Manager) and be back up and running!
Think I may skip CM6.1...
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?
Hi all, I'm looking for a little help.
I have a GSM Desire that I rooted a while back with Unrevoked and selected a custom recovery image which at the time was AmonRa. I've been running LeeDroid for a while, updated a couple of revision of ROMs with no problem and have now moved onto CM7 RC2.
After looking in ROM Manager which I'd never used before, it tells me my current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 and if I click on reboot into recovery it reboots into ClockworkMod. However if I press the powere button and reboot into recovery I end up in AmonRa 1.7.0.1-R5.
So first is this expected as if not how do I resolve it?
Second, how can I go about reflashing to a later version of AmonRa? I've tried using Unrevoked again but it seems to stop at "Running root" after pushing the image and rebooting the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Rom Manager has it's own fake flash recovery which just loads the recovery once, temporary recovery if you would like to call it that. The AmonRA that you have is a permanent recovery installed. That is why you get the two different recoveries.
As it stands, the only way to flash a permanent recovery image (the one you want to update) is to use fastboot or to use a utility. This requires S-Off.
Using unrevoked on an already rooted rom is a no go.
Hello everybody, first post, please take care .
I have an EVO 4G that's stuck in a bootloop. It was previously rooted (Hboot displays S-off) but there doesn't appear to be any recovery installed. It gets stuck at the white HTC screen and then reboots infinitely.
I tried flashing Amon_Ra via hboot, but when I actually reboot and select recovery, it goes back into a bootloop.
I tried installing clockwork and Amon_Ra via fastboot but it wouldn't work, there was an error about remote commands not being allowed.
I tried reflashing with an RUU (RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed) and it flashes 100% with no problems, but then goes back into bootloop.
As far as I can remember, I've exhausted most of my known options. Is there any hope for getting this thing out of bootloop, or is it pretty much a softbrick?

I would try selecting clear storage from the bootloader.
http://www.mediafire.com/?gijd69zb5222w > download the recovery and version you want, name it to PC36IMG, then place on the root of your sd card, and flash in the bootloader.
Thanks for the reply. I tried Clockwork 3 and Recovery 3.70, both still resulted in the bootloop. I guess something is just wrong with this phone's recovery, I've tried several different recoveries. I can't even really unroot it since I can't get into recovery to flash unrevoked s-on.

Well what you can do is flash a PC36IMg of a 3.70 ruu, flash in the bootloader, technically unrooted, though you have s-off, then try again.
I can't remember which RUU I used, but it flashed hboot 0.93, which I was able to downgrade to 0.76 for fastboot command support. I've flashed recovery manually using fastboot commands and still no dice. I'm guessing there's some kind of hardware issue with this device that's preventing it from properly flashing and/or loading the recovery.
On another random note, is there any way to get adb via hboot or fastboot? When in fastboot, the phone shows up as "My HTC" under ADB Interface, but only fastboot commands work, not adb commands.
And also, what does the hboot usb driver do? I have it installed, but I can't actually figure out what functionality it has.
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.
