Just a quick post to all of you who are having this issue. This may be a repost, but I'll give the solution anyway.
If you have this issue after flashing Cyanogen Mod 6.1 or 7 just perform these simple steps to correct it.
First (if you haven't already), remove your battery, it won't hurt anything.
Second, replace the battery, hold down the volume down bottom and press the power button once.
(You may release the volume button once the bootloader screen appears)
Third, wait until it checks the MicroSD card for an update file, then using the volume down button, highlight "Clear Storage" and hit the power button once.
Once it reboots Cyanogen should load right up. Hope this helps someone!
Just wanted to say I believe its volume down + power to access the bootloader. Hope this helps.

Your absolutely correct! That was my mistake. Thanks for the warning.
No problem. Good info to know though. I've never really had any problems with CM7 but I've wondering if clearing data in bootloader as opposed to recovery might work as well.

I know a lot of people have had this problem. But not all, I guess its subjective.
But I have definitely had this problem, both with version 6.1 and with 7.
I love the Cyanogen Mod! What a difference that makes with Android.
The main reason I switched was because I wanted ad-hoc network options.
I soon realized it was so much more than that though!

I have followed these instructions but it either takes me back to the HTC Incredible splash screen (and hangs again) or to a Clockwork menu (black background with orange text). Either way my Incredible is still not booting back up. Help?

I'll be glad to help you. I don't have an Incredible anymore, but this is fairly universal.
Okay, so what have you done so far, give me the steps you used to flash CM.
Also what version of Clockwork and Cyanogen Mod are you using?
Do i need to wipe before flashing rom?
I have tried miui and CM7 both and after it gets down it gets stuck running the bootloader image. I just got the phone rooted and want to try a rom out, but i am having troubles...
Is good Rom cyanogen?,have htc sense 3.5?
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

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.
Hey everyone, I've been using custom roms since they first appeared on these forums. This said, i have come across a huge issue.
I was on a 2.2.1 rom and something was screwy with the radio so i flashed the right radio files, which didnt help. So after this i thought the issue must be deeper in the rom, so i decided to install one of the other roms i had that i knew worked. This now leaves me with a unbootable phone (goes to the point of blue android text) the animation stops and the screen flashes. The animation then restarts, it does this indefinitely.
I can boot into recovery and flash mode just fine. However interestingly in recovery i cant 'click' the hidden hide button in the bottom right to perform a wipe etc. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
thanks
Dave.
The "hidden button" doesn't work on 2.2 so to get into recovery screen when you see the android logo press the volume up & volume down buttons both at the same time. This will take you to the recovery screen where you use the volume button to highlight an action & then press the power button once to confirm it.
I feel so stupid.
Thankyou so much mate. I owe you a beer. +1 internets.
Solved!

Hello folks,
since two days I can't use my desire properly anymore. Wifi had some issues, volume buttons sometimes stopped working and the phone rebooted itself. The phone was rooted with unrevoked ans S-OFF. I thought that maybe the software was damaged so I decided to reinstall, but this time with the original RUU.
I used this one: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
After installing, the phone got in a reboot loop. Now, I cant get into the bootmenu because the volume down button doesn't work. Is there any other possibility to get into the bootmenu?
Greets,
Maza

Power+back button. It will launch into fastboot menu I think. From there click hboot. (It might also be that it launches into hboot and you click fastboot. Not too sure). It's the way I used when my vol buttons are unresponsive.

wow, it does work. Thank you. But now, I seem to have another problem: the trackball button doesn't work either can't choose a menu!
this is annoying! you got a tip for this problem too?

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
My G2 is rooted and It wont allow to access my recovery image.
Also: the phone takes awhile to boot up, I wiped and changed the rom already still the same results.
And it doesn't show any boot animations. I'm think this could be a hardware problem. Am I right?
Which recovery are you using? If you have 5.x its still very buggy and fails to boot to recovery a lot of the time. Downgrade back to 3.0.2.4, or use 4ext recovery.
On every boot? Cause the first boot is meant to take quite a while.
Please define how long exactly its taking, cause a minute or so is not unusual.
Boot animations would normally be a rom issue I think.
-Nipqer
If you are having trouble getting to recovery, you can 1) remove and re-insert the battery 2) hold down the volume down key, then press the power button on top of your phone 3) Let your phone boot to a white screen with colorful text 4) Use your volume up and down keys to highlight the recovery option 5) press the power button to select recovery.
Now that you are in recovery, you can either restore a nandoid back up you made previously, or flash another rom (you might be best off flashing a rom that is not Sense 3 or 3.5 unless you are sure you either have an HTC Desire Z (not a G2 phone) or you know that you have upgraded your G2 HBOOT to a Desire Z HBOOT).
Hope this helps you!

Every reboot it doesn't show the boot animations. and it also doesn't show the recovery screen at all. It's a display problem for sure I think.
Also the phone wont show the home screen until I tap the power button for like 2 minutes. (The LEDS pop up on the buttons, but the screen wont turn on)
I also changed the battery still no bueno.

I wish it did mate. I've tried all those solutions unfortunately. Thanks anyways.
Also I am currently running the latest CM7.
Try starting up rom manager. It had an option to reboot into recovery. It might work.
Further check if there is a file called PC10IMG.zip in the root of your sdcard. Delete it when it's present.

Hi!
I have a similar problem here!
I sent my Desire Z in for repair (display was not working), they replaced the main board and shipped it back with the stock Gingerbread ROM.
I downgraded to the stock Froyo ROM and rooted it again (including S-OFF, flashing HBOOT, CWM recovery etc.)
I wanted to restore a backup (done before sending it in) using CWM, but when I select the "backup/restore" menu item all I get is a black screen with the CWM logo in the middle. When I press the power button it goes back to CWM's main menu.
It's the same with version 5.0 and 3.0.
I was able to restore the backup from the ROM Manager, but I don't want to install any other ROM right now because if something goes wrong, I won't be able to restore.
Is there something I can do?
Thanks!

Well, I feel like a moron.
The power button is not to select menu items in CWM. When I press the trackpad instead of Power all is fine
Should I install CWM 5 again or keep 3? What do you recommend?
From all I've read CWM is still buggy. I'd use 4EXT Recovery instead. It has fantastic support and contains all the options in CWM and more. Link is in my signature.

Im also facing the same problem before this. Im unable to go into recovery by manual that mean by using vol down + power. Just boot normally & using the rom manager to boot into recovery. Problem solve.

Hey guys
I'm running MrGarak's fantastic MIUI rom however I've found that the kernel is booting my phone into that white HTC diagnostic screen by default. Unfortunately my volume down button is dead and so I can't navigate the menu; the only way I can boot my phone at the moment is to boot it connected via USB as that makes it boot to Recovery and I can reboot from there.
Any ideas? I think this and another rom I tried both used LordMUE's kernel, could that be the reason the boot preferences don't default to just booting the OS?
Any help and/or pointers would be greatly appreciated
So you can access bootloader and recovery!
So just flash another kernel. What's your problem?
Put a zip on your SD (with a SD reader or ADB pull), then go in recovery, navigate with the 4 keys under the screen (or vol+ and power)... and flash.
What is strange for me is that it seems to happen sudenly... so how do ou know it's the kernel. Anyway...
I have clockwork recovery, and can navigate it using the soft keys (home menu etc). You should also he able to use the vol up key to get to the bottom of the list, (depending on the recovery you're using I suppose)

Unfortunately it boots into the white HTC area (dunno what it's called). The one where you can see if your phone is S-OFF or not.
Also, I'm not sure what is to blame... but I've only just recently noticed that my phone cold boots this way so I assumed it was a recent rom that I applied. Will test this theory later.
Sounds to me like your volume down button is stuck in.
Definitely not a ROM issue, as it has nothing to do with the bootloader.

Hey, i had this issue like a month ago. You can check my previous threads. It's hardware I'm 100% sure. Basically if you're in warranty you need to flash the stock rom with S-On so you can get a new phone. You can get it to boot but it's really a pain. You have to play with the volume up when first turning on your phone. It took me about an hour. Then when it boots you'll be in a "Safe Mode" (no clue whats limited all seemed fine to me). Then do your backup if you wish.
Also note: Flashing the S-On rom is a PAIN, took me about 2-3 hours of rebooting, holding vol up, tapping vol up, to get it to boot right, but with patients you'll get it to go.
Good luck to ya.

Ah, I'm definitely beyond warranty. The thought of vol+down being stuck down makes a lot of sense!
I'll just take it to one of the dodgy Asian repair shops, if it's a hardware issue I'm sure they'll know what to do.
Cheers for your help everyone!
