[Q] Cant boot into CMW Recovery - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried something new and made a yaffs.img backup then tried to restore, my phone rebooted to bootloader screen but wont boot up and i cant get into my cmw recovery either...anybody got any ideas how to restore so i can boot up again? I have rebooted bootloader,factory reset,and even placed every ".img" i can think of in the root of my sdcard and still no luck any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you flashed the RUU in hboot? If you can't get into recovery I guess you'd have to use a card reader to get it on your SD, but hopefully you can try that.

Need Help Restoring Phone After Updating W/O Wipe

Okay so here's what happened:
I saw S-Off was released.
I decided to install the latest nightly before applying it. I was intoxicated.
I forgot to wipe data/factory reset. I DID NANROID, HOWEVER. I flashed the rom and gapps.
When I rebooted, it sits at the myTouch 3g Slide splash page.
At this page I have access to ADB on my pc, but for some reason can't write to any of the folders I tried.
Holding back while I reboot brings me too fastboot.
Fastboot will not flash the current nightly for me to my phone, when renamed update.zip. Fastboot also gives me an error trying to restore my nandroid piece by piece. It won't erase boot or recovery, nor will it flash those or the other pieces. It says it can send the file, but it fails on writing them.
In case the solution is to start from scratch and reroot etc., I tried that, but I cannot copy exploid to my phone, it says it doesnt have permission (same error as before).
I know this is fixable, and if anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful.
Also, I can provide any more details necessary.
Also, I can get to fastboot, hboot, recovery (not clockworkmod, the blank one with a phone icon and red arrow), and the splash page which seems to have limited ADB functionality.
HELP!
If you can get into the stock recovery, you can flash the clockwork update.zip and get into clockwork recovery. You need to do that and then reflash a ROM. If you broke root in all of this, then you won't be able to do that. I'm also assuming your s-off failed, it still is s-on? If so, that's probably why it isn't writing the partitions from your nandroid, but I'm not positive about that, since recovery can write to those partitions. If you need the clockwork update.zip, let me know and I'll attach it when I get home, I know their site is down at the moment. But yeah, get that clockwork update.zip on the root of your sd card and try flashing it through the stock recovery and then a custom ROM again. Report back whether it was successful or not

unable to boot at all

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?

Can't start after flashing update.zip

Really need your help. I have an Ideos s7 2.1 rooted and I tried to apply update.zip from SD Card.
I'm using Clockworkmod and already installed Clockworkmod recovery.
After setting the path to my update.zip and backed up my previous ROM, my phone rebooted. But nothing was shown after that. There's only "Huawei Ideos" logo and after that nothing happened
I've already taken out and put in the battery but it still doesn't work.
Help plsss......
still having this issue? can u enter the recovery?
same probleemm pleasee help! stuck on boot, cant acces to x recovery

Phone is dead?

Hi
I was about to give my phone to my father, as i just got a new one. I was trying to clean up the system, so i did a partision on my sd card, and when i then tryed to reflash the phone using rom manager, i would get a error that /cache/update.zip was missing, even thought i tryed to reinstall rom manager. So i thought i could just boot to my clockwork, and do a factory reset there, so i did that. Now the phone wont boot, it just cycles throught the cyanogen boot animation. and if i go into clockwork everytime i try to select something, it just gives me a black screen, so i seems i cant reflash the device?
does any one got any ideas on how to get this phone alive again?
Did you successfully apply /sdcard/update.zip through ClockworkMod? Were there any errors? Which ClockworkMod version are you using?
You could try reflashing the Recovery partition through fastboot, although I believe you need a S-OFFed device to do that. If your device is S-ON you can use a RUU to unroot your device and then use Unrevoked to root it again. There should be a thread about that in the Desire Dev forum.

Soft brick that won't quit

Was trying to update the supersu binary by installing the updated zip in recovery. On reboot it was stuck in a boot loop. First off nothing else worked, then fastboot worked and then 10 mins later twrp recovery started working. I tried to restore a backed up image but still got boot loop. Then tried to flash a rom I had on sdcard - still boot loopy. Tried to go the miflash tool root but couldn't get it to find the phone despite it appearing in explorer. Copied stock miui zip onto sc card from pc and installed but still same problem. Standard dalvik/cache wipe before and after each install. Now I'm struggling to get recovery up.
Help - haven't managed to totally brick something despite many years of tinkering. :/
PS. I can still get fastboot up. Now when I try to get recovery up the screen goes black and I have to reboot.
