[Q]Can't boot into recovery from a powered down state - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried searching and haven't been able to find a fix for this, but I'm S-Off, rooted, running CM7.1 RC1 and have Clockwork Recover 3.0.2.4 installed.
I can reboot into recovery and can access via fastboot, but when I try to boot directly into recovery, my phone vibrates 3 times, the amber light comes on but the phone doesn't boot at all and I have to do a battery pull in order to do anything else with the phone.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
(also, I used the method on the CM wiki to get S-off and root).
Thanks!

Have you tried reflashing recovery? Not sure how much it would help, but I'm sure it won't hurt

You cannot boot straight into recovery from power-off.
The best is to access via fastboot if you don't want to boot the phone up properly.
I assume you tried Vol Up + Power? That gets you into a qualcomm diagnostic mode, which is useless to us.

Man your not alone I got the same problem and been reading all through the threads. Just be careful if your using Sense don't turn off the fastboot like I did one day and couldn't reboot my phone got stuck. Almost an easy paperweight.

Download cwm 2.5.1.3 rename it recovery.img put it to your platform-tools directory there should be fastboot.exe file also. That all should be done on your pc where adb shell is installed. Connect your phone to usb after putting it to fastboot. Then check if it is recognized by typing adb devices after changing to platform-tools. If it is then type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It should flash it. Then try going in to recovery from fastboot. If succeded try: adb push "rom".zip /mnt/sdcard
Place whatever rom you DL-ed instead of "rom" and proceed with CWM.
And about 2.5.1.3 there is a link to download it in leedroid-2.2.3 thread. I think you shoud inzip it to get recovery. img
And there is some kind of time bug on DHD so may be leaving it without battery for more than 8 hours and then doig all recovery manipulation, just a thought
And may be you should reflash bootloader also, I just don't know the proper steps.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have the same problem
impossible have recovery mode
I flashed the cmw with fastboot, as said by kgulruh, but nothing... arggg!
Then it may be corrupted eng-hboot if I spell it right. Try to flash it also with fastboot. But don't do it without reading extensively first.
I never fiddled with bootloader myself so may be wrong.
Try leaving without battery first cause after march 27 it caused a lot of trouble to many of us rooted dhd owners. It will restore bootloader to the default state. Read about it in Q&A or general about CM7 restarted issue
Don't worry after all you not bricked it yet if it can go to fastboot it is still alive.
Good luck

There is one last resourt, and it is reflash the stock rom, what I mean is download ruu for your device 1.32 put it by adb push to the root of sdcard but rename it to something like PD98IMG before pushing. And after restart hboot will autoseek that file and if found will reflash the phone to the default factory state. Then you can proceed whith rooting all over again.
But read appropriate threads before doing anything. Ask questions if unsure

The problem for me is that I can flash the ruu 1.72 in fastboot mod
but the phone restart and stay blocked to the htc screen
i changed several times of sd card, but always the same htc screen...
Pullout the battery and after a while when putting it in hold vol-.
If it is autorestarting it should go to fastboot.
My dhd had been restarting and only way to go to fastboot was what I write earlier. But at least mine loaded correctly but never switched off.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
mine load to fastboot mod too
i launch after instalingl a new rom, phone stay blocked on htc screen
I pull out the battery but nothing different
So you can go to the bootloader? What do you see there? Post what you see pls, should be something like ACE PVT ENG S-OFF at the first line. Post the whole text, this would maybe help to figure out whats causjng your problem

Desire Z Recovery mode help!

So, I was continuously getting com.phone.Android process FC in CM7, so I decided to flash VirtuousROM on my Z.
I flashed the ROM, but since then the phone is stuck at the HTC boot logo.
I tried to boot into recovery mode by re-inserting the battery and putting the phone on charge. However, instead of recovery mode, the phone got stuck at the same HTC logo.
So, how do I manually boot into the recovery mode on my Z? What are the key combo?
I don't have access to a PC, so please don't suggest using ADB.

To manually get in to recovery hold volume down and power, this will take you to the bootloader where you can select recovery.

I just performed a factory reset (stock rom, nothing modified) re downladed some app, than froze and got stuck in bootloader mode. When I press recovery freezes again and nothing happens. 2 green arrows in round shape come up for a few seconds and dies... What to do?
Try flashing a custom recovery like clockworkmod through fastboot (taken your bootloader is S-OFF) then install a custom rom again through the recovery.
might be a bad download
check the md5 sum of the file and compare it to the one given by the dev
then try reflashing it

Help! Stuck at htc logo

I spent all night downgrading to froyo, when I was finally at 2.2 I used the visionary method to get temp root, that worked fine, when I tried to get permanent root I couldnt get s-off so I started following another guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835777
I followed all the steps and when I typed in reboot the phone rebooted and got stuck at the htc screen. I tried to turn it on with vol- and power and go into recovery but I got a black screen with a phone and error message, then it rebooted back to the htc screen and is still stuck there.
Please help! this is my only phone and I need it fixed asap
Thanks in advance!

There have been numerous warnings over the past year about Visionary that I have to ask this question: Why oh why did you use it? Rage is a much safer method than Visionary and won't brick your phone at all (rooted three G2's with Rage/Gfree).

Yes i know i made a mistake but any help would be apreciated
what is ?
what is your main problem
the problem is it wont load past the htc logo screen
Get a copy of the 2.2 PC10IMG.zip and reboot into your bootloader (Vol. Down + Power). If the bootloader can flash it, you should be able to boot normally. Go to the CyanogenMod Wiki and root using Rage/Gfree.

is there gonna be a problem since i have s-off
I put the PC10IMG.zip in the root of the sd card, turned the phone on (vol- and power) it found the image, there was a loading bar to the right, and then nothing happened after the load. Im still at the same bootloader and if I reboot it is still stuck at the htc screen

Okay, go back into your bootloader and flash the latest ClockworkMod recovery via Fastboot.
I assume I can find the directions on how to load clockwork through fastboot on here. If that does work and I can go into recovery would I be safe to flash a custom rom at that point

Since I will only have time to work on the phone tonight after work and I need it for tomorrow are there any other possible solutions to my problem or would flashing clockwork through fastboot be it?

For fastboot to flash recovery, the image needs to be on your comp. Open up your computer's Terminal, cd to the directory it's in, and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotes).
Sent via smoke signal.
nevermind got it
for people that are curious:
have the recovery.img (correct one! this was my problem) in the tools folder of the android sdk, open command prompt from that folder (hold shift and right click)
then run this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
also phone has to be in fastboot (vol- and power, then select fastboot)
I finally have recovery!
Im gonna try to load a rom now!
It worked! my phone is alive!
Thank you all for your help!

[Q] I bricked my One X

Hi there,
I have recently bricked my HOX by trying to install the latest BinDroid ROM.
I did root the device properly and I dont know what went wrong during the ROM installation.
Short story; the device stuck on bootloop and now runs out of juice. Is there any way to get it back to work or I just have to send it to HTC for repair.
What exactly did you do and when did it fail.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If you have flashed the most recent recovery you can charge in recovery, I would suggest plugging in.
Turn on by holding power + volume down
If you get the white hoot screen go into recovery and leave it to charge.
Your rom is probably bootlooping because you didn't manually flash the boot.IMG that came with the Rom in fastboot
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
The problem is, I already relocked my HOX to install stock RUU, but the power is less than 30%.
Ok. I have done this in the past.
Plug phone in to wall
Power on.
Choose power off.
Phone will reboot
Repeat process many times.
While the phone is rebooting it is actually charging for a few second
You may have to do this quite a while to get above 30 %
Once there unlock and boot into recovery so you can charge to full
Learn the lesson and don't play with low battery

I'm in recovery now, using 'recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru'...
Should be fine right?:good:
Yes. That version will allow you to charge.
Then its just getting a Rom working
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Hey I know you've already got it to charge but for other people's information according to the wiki and further to the other users comment you could leave the screen on the HTC quietly brilliant screen and it would still continue to charge although it doesn't appear to be. It really is.
Dno if you've fixed it but now you need to try either a nandroid back up and flash the boot.img inside that via fastboot on your computer. Or a custom Rom and flash THAT boot.img via fastboot.
I hope to god you've got one of those on the root of your phone storage, otherwise your last resort is a ruu :thumbup:

I did tried to charged on the 'HTC quietly brilliant screen' before but it takes a lot of time since the phone keeps on to restart, just wanna see iv charging on recovery is better.

It's okay, everyone starts somewhere and i don't pretend to be a professional but i'll try help. And yeah the HTC quiterly brilliant screen was just incase you didn't have enough charge to enter fastboot
Basically a nandroid back up is a back up file created by a custom recovery (e.g. Clockwordmod), this backs up EVERYTHING, your whole system and rom (it's important to do these before flashing custom roms, incase anything goes wrong). But anyway, i doubt you've done that so moving on.
Basically our HTC one x's cannot be S-off at the moment, so because of this we only have access to certain parts of the system and boot files.
You need to find the rom you put on your HTC One X and put it on your computer (or download it from somewhere). Unzip it and find the boot.img. This process is sort of like the one where you unlocked your bootloader.
You need to plug your phone into the computer which has SDK tools and everything installed and enter CMD - and put your phone into fastboot usb mode.
Assuming you followed HTC dev method you'd copy the boot.img out of the rom folder you unzipped earlier and place it in C:/Android
Open command prompt (windows) or the linux/MAC variant
and type the following
cd C:/Android
then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the boot.img for your rom
then type
fastboot erase cache (i think)
and reboot your phone through the bootloader. It should now boot.
:good:
Thanks to all, I have finally Install RUU and re-rooted my HOX.

[Q] HTC Incredible 2

need help. I have a HTC Incredible 2 and followed a meticulous way to unlock the boot loader and flashed the clockworkmod recovery. Everything worked fine until I tried to flash cyanogen 10. I think the phone may be bricked because it will only rebooot to the white HTC screen. I have tried instructions and videos on youtube but I cannot figure out what to do. I did this with s-on. I have tried the RUU flashes or PG32IMG.lzip but again I cant get antwhere. Now I cant get it unlocked after the relock and it will not recognize the device in adb but does in fastboot. Anyway, will someone please help me either get back to stock or hopefully flash a new Rom to the phone. I am also new to XDA so I dont even know if this is where to post to get help.Thank you and I strongly look forward to receiving a response and help.[/B]:crying:
