[Q] stuck at white HTC load screen - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi,
i tried to root my htc wildfire,
now when i reboot it it won't get pass the white HTC load screen.
i can go in Hboot menu though and i have the Clockworkmod on it through recovery .
is it broken or can it be fixed?

im no expert but others here are and i think we need more info to help you,explain the process you followed to help us understand what if anything went wrong. have you tried flashing a custom rom ???? if you can access recovery mode download a rom ie cm7,jokerdroid or wildpuzzle then go into recovery and install from zip then choose zip and see if it loads up....... now give it time cos it could take a while. 3xeno is magic with his help so if 3xeno posts any help then follow his instructions. cheers and i hope i have been of any assistance. slymobi.

Definitely can be fixed.
Maybe little bit more helpful if u tell clearly what have you done.
Ok. Download a custom rom. Then reboot into clockworkmod recovery. Then first wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, factory reset. All these are must and can be done from recovery. If you wont do these, i think u wont get pass that logo.
After wiping and factory reset, select "install zip from sdcard". Then select "choose zip from sdcard". Then add the zip file . And that's all.
And if u have clockworkmod 3.x recovery better go with cm7 rom first in the present situation. If 3.x recovery, then select the rom android 2.3 and AOSP from below link..
And custom rom index here under section 2:

[Q] Can't get into recovery

Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this!
I have tried to do research on my problem but can't solve it...
The problem is that i can't get into recovery to backup my stock rom.
Specs: HTC Wildfire S, marvel A510e, S-on, Bootloader unlocked, Rooted, Radio-7.54.39.28M, Andriod 2.3.5, HTC sence: 2.1, Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, Super SU.
I followed the guide: "How to root the Wildfire S with S-ON"on Andriod forums by CafeKampuchia, thumbs up for him, It got me this far but, now I want to do the thing for which I rooted my phone in the first place: Installing a costum ROM. Therefore I want to backup my stock ROM.
When I open in HBOOT (1.09.0099) and select recovery, the phone reboots and i see the HTC screen, this disappears after 2 sec and my screen turns black... (phone is still on beceause the buttons on the bottom are lighted.)
When I boot the normal way and try to boot into recovery trough CWM ROM manager same thing happen. Also flashed this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229 Same thing happed...
So how can i backup my stock rom?
Many thanks in advantage!

Hope this help you..if not tell me what recovery version did you flashed
P.S maybe its better to pull out battery when you chck fastboot in settings...power off your phone and pull out batt...then put it in and hold power key and volume down at the same time...then choose recovery
Had some break trough with my phone.. I flashed my stock recovery from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1426611

Hello!
We have already faced this problem. We cannot find the reason why on some devices CWM is not working. It is characteristic for some devices. The decision is not found yet. We used all known methods for today, and all CWM versions (5.0.2.6 & 5.0.2.8), but are not present result.
Colleagues from 4pda.ru
You might try placing update zip on root of your sdcard and choose apply update from sdcard.
Too bad it doesn't have reinstall packages.

Thanks, to do what exactly? Use it to rename recovery file to update.zip and flash it that way?
CWM is installed, even different versions.. Any damn problem is i can';t get into recovery.
Is there any other way to backup stock ROM besides recovery?!?!?!

[Question] I can't root nor flash a custom rom on my Galaxy S3

Hi, I'm new here & I've been searching countless hours through the forums & Google trying to find my answer but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
This is my first time I ever "root" my Android device, I've had experience in jailbreaking my iPhone in the past but nowadays even a baby can do it.
The thing is, I was following these guides here trying to flash this Jelly Bean rom:
(Apprently new guys can't post links to guides... okay..
*guide 1
*guide 2
I have a T-Mobile T999 Model so I got that nailed down.
When I boot into that recovery whatever I get a different screen than the one presented on this screen:
*picture 1
==========================================
When I'm around that step I get :
"Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select. (though in the tutorial it says home? wtf?)
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apple update from cache
==========================================
That's all I get, though in the tutoral it says:
"Copy the downloaded zip files from step 3 and step 4 to the internal SD card. Do not extract them."
&
"Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Scroll to the ROM file on the SD card and select it. Confirm installation by selecting Yes – Install _____.zip on the next screen. The ROM will start installing."
Though, the thing is. I don't have "Install zip from sdcard" just some big ol' robot in the background with some wierd stuff in his chest like blue wires. What happened?

can anyone tell me what's going on? did I mess up my phone?

You are still on stock recovery. You need custom recovery to flash roms. To get a custom recovery use odin. Found here-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421&d=1341114315
Download one of the attached recoveries and load in PDA slot of odin.
When you open ODIN, there will be 2 boxes checked. F.Reset Time and Auto Reboot. I recommend that you uncheck Auto Reboot so only F.Reset Time is checked. When the flash is complete,(green box says PASS!) your phone will not reboot by itself. From there Hold Vol-Up+Home+Power and boot straight to recovery.
Once you boot into custom recovery, flash this to root your current rom http://k0nane.info/rom/ecm/TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip.
Alternatively, you can just skip to flashing your CM10 rom (after a nandroid backup of course)

Hello!
I've done this Odin portion already, I've already gotten past the Odin "PASS" & all that good stuff. The thing is, when I do Vol-Up+Home+Power I'm I'm shown only this:
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apple update from cache
I am not doing Vol-Down-Home-Power since that's just the other recovery correct?
The question is .. do I need a Sdcard to flash a rom into my galaxy s3? cause I don't have one..
Edit:
This is the recovery mode screen I'm shown when I do Volume-Up-Home-Power:
www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=UxaVXJJdhhk
I don't have that model it's just showing you the recovery screen I get. I'm guessing it's not the custom one?
Use Odin and CWM from my signature.
I got it, I know what's wrong to anyone else having this problem.
To those that applied the Samsung update - samrung overrides the recovery if you don't remove the battery!

Need help putting deodexed custom ROM on N7105XXDLL4 - installation stops prematurely

Hi
i figured out how to update my original firmware of 4.1.1 on my Note 2 N7105 LTE to 4.1.2 by downloading this tar.md5 (N7105XXDLL4_N7105TMHDLK8_TMH) through Odin
and it seemed to work because in "about device" it says im running 4.1.2 and it also seems to be a REALLY annoying European T-Mobile version because of the short and LOUD t-mobile video every single time i open and close my phone.
I also installed CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.5-jb which works perfectly (thank god)
now when i tried to boot the deodexed rom for N7105XXDLL4 through recovery via sd card. everything seems fine i can choose all the options in sequence and when i get to the end it tries to install (percentage bar) but stops very quickly and reboots me to recovery mode...the first time i did that it forced me to restore from backup (because it wouldnt boot at all) and the second time i did it it made me reboot and the samsung logo appeared followed by "android is upgrading 0 to 162" I WAS SUPPPPER HAPPPPY!! but i was crossing my fingers...low and behold the phone did boot but all the fonts and everything else were EXTREMELY tiny and a message kept popping up saying SystemSU has closed or something..
I obviously restored back to t-mobile 4.1.2 (hungarian)
Is there something wrong im doing during the installation? should i try and upload it through odin or something instead of through my sd card??and how do you do that?? i mean it cant be the wrong deodexed because i chose the first one for xxdll4 and it the installation does boot on my phone..
i mean everything looks great except for the fact that it stops at the beginning of installation and reboots me to recovery prematurely....
ANY HELP???!!!! THANKS!!!

[Q] Noob wanting to load a custom rom

I've been browsing the forums for a couple of months. Read lots of how-to guides but they all give different ways of doing the same thing.
Thought I knew a lot about computers, but feeling like a noob
GT-N7100 (international) running 4.1.1. Rooted using N7100. Backed up all my apks and data using Carbon, the backup app. I assume that if I wipe the device I can restore... so I'm good to go.
Wanted to put on a custom 4.2 rom so I picked Carbon (1.4-2FEB2003). Reviews looked favourable.
Downloaded Rom Manager v5.5.2.3. Clicked "Recovery Setup", rebooted, my Current Recovery is now Clockworkod 6.0.1.9.
Downloaded the rom using goomanager. Rom is sitting in a zip in a directory on my sd card.
Installed Mobile ODIN Lite v3.65 since I wanted to keep the flash count at 0.
Mobile ODIN doesn't see any of the files (they're zip). If I unzip them using an external zipper then I can manual select "Kernel" boot.img, but no idea what files to select for the rest of the options. Ok, so abandoned ODIN.
Back to ROM Manager. Install ROM from SD Card, however that app appears to be bugged since it's not able to show the external sd card, (extSdCard) and just shows internal memory.
Installed ROM Toolbox Lite. Install ROM from SD card. Browsed onto the SD card. Hurrah... picked the rom. ROM Pre-Installation appears, picked Backup Existing ROM, Wipe Data and Cache (shudder), Wipe Dalvik Cache. Ok. Reboot and install. OK. Phone reboots.
Into ClockworkMod.
Screen appears with a falled down droid. Options are: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset/ wipe cache partition, apply update from cache.
No idea what to pick. I'd have expected to get a "install rom from sd card" or some other such option, since "update" sounds like just changing clockworkmod.
Choosing "reboot system now" and the system comes back up as if I hadn't told it to install rom. Apply from external allows me to browse the rom but then I get ann E:signature veritifcation failed.
Hard-reboot. Back into 4.1.1.
I can plug into my computer (mac - so no Odin). While I'd like to keep my trianges away etc for warranty, it's not 100% critical.
How to progress further? Which of the several flashing tools should I use? What noob mistakes am I making?
1st Of all Every time You Flash a Custom Rom or boot into recovery mode ur binary will be increased so its pointless to use Triangle away while you are rooted , But when you decide to make ur device completely stock then use Triangle away and flash a Stock Rom which will unroot ur device and get ota updates back.
Now for flashing custom Roms its simple By Using any custom recovery Clockworkod or TWR.. etc:
1- Turn Off ur device then boot into recovery ( Vol up + Home + Power)
2- Make sure you have downloaded the Rom to your external SD Card
3- Wipe data Factory Reset ( Your External will remain untouched)
4- Wipe Cach
5- Wipe Dalvik cach
6- Finally Install Zip From SD Card an choose install Zip from External Card , Aroma Installer will popup then you can take it from here

Would you expect the Install Zip from SD Card option to appear if I'd skipped steps 2-5. I.e. if I haven't factory wiped yet, would the option not appear? Or should it always be there and there is something else wrong?
Thanks for your help BTW.

if u skip steps 2-5 you will face problems in the new rom. even worse the new rom may not boot normally due to leftover system data files n settings of the previous rom.
best way to flash is to reboot to recovery rather than using some softwares.
always make a nandroid in clockwork "backup n restore" option prior to flashing new rom.

Maybe this is where my confusion is coming from. I'm not seeing a backup option in the clockwork menu. Nor am I seeing a flash rom option, or anything other than the few options.
Those options are: reboot system now, apply update from ADB, apply update from external storage, wipe data/factory reset/ wipe cache partition, apply update from cache.
That means you haven't flashed cwm recovery.

According to ROM Manager on the phone I'm getting told
"Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9"
I've tried reflashing the recovery a couple of times but it makes no difference.
I've checked clockworkmod.com/rommanager and indeed 6.0.1.9 appears correct.
Is there a different tool I should be using to put the cwm recovery into place?
Again, thanks to everyone so far for your help. This noob wants to not be a noob

When you say "in recovery" did you mean in the ROM Manager app, or somewhere else? I'll assume you meant when booting in recovery mode.
If I boot into recovery mode (from ROM Manager, click the reboot into recovery, or by power off/on with keys) I get the fallen down droid, and the following:
"Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

Hmm... screenshot definitely doesn't look like that. So what do I need to do to get that recovery installed? ROM Manager doesn't seem to want to do it. I wonder if the way I got root is the problem?

I've downloaded the file (6.0.1.9) and it comes as a .img file. However, by default, mobile odin wouldn't handle it. Searched and found another post that said to rename it to "recovery.img" and... MO found it. Hurrah. Flashed. Hurrah.
It rebooted into it once. All looked good. But on reboot it's gone. I'm a lot further along than this morning so thank you. I'll go play some more!
Rename the following file
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
to
/system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
With root explorer or something.
Then flash custom recovery again.

Flash it via odin

if u skip steps 2-5 you will face problems in the new rom. even worse the new rom may not boot normally due to leftover system data files n settings of the previous rom.
best way to flash is to reboot to recovery rather than using some softwares.
always make a nandroid in clockwork "backup n restore" option prior to flashing new rom.

Triangle away ----used to reset flash counter....thAT IS it resets the times u flash something....when u flash recovery ur counter increases...simply open triangle away & reset counter to 00000000000000000000.........so ur doubt cleared
didn't thought u would ask this after seeing ur previous posts

[Q] Install CWM based on Recovery v6.0.4.6 succeed but not working

Dears,
Moving around for 4 hours .... Reading forums .... Didn't find solution yet.
I have a new Samsung GT-i9195 LTE from the box, I have followed the procedure to install on this device CWM to install at the end CM-11.
I have the same pb if I am using the windows procedure (Odin) or the Mac procedure (heimdall), when I reboot on recovery mod, I can see CWM with all the menu (reboot system now, install zip, wipe data ....) ... But if I select, as example "advanced" nothing happen, same for "install zip" and all the rest .....
Any ideas ?
Thx

It might be corrupted, I would try flashing with Odin again and/or downloading it from elsewhere. I had no problem running that version for a long time apart from the select button sometimes changed its mapping from the 'home' to 'power' button!
I now use and highly recommend TWRP. I shan't be going back to CWM.
