[Q] CWM Recovery rom flashes won't boot

Hi everyone, I've come into a strange problem with my G2 and I bet someone here can help me out! I just got a refurbished G2 because my last one had display problems. I tried to root with one with gfree (05) and I ran into a couple of errors so I rebooted my phone and used the rage method. Anyway, I downloaded rom manager and flashed CWM 3.0.2.4 so I could flash that leaked gingerbread build. It wouldn't work for me, so I flashed xborders' version and it's all good. I went to flash the stock rom (to go back) and when it reboots it stays stuck on the HTC splash screen. The same thing happens with CM7, or any other rom I've tried recently. I let CM7 flash when I went to sleep, when I woke up it was still stuck on the HTC screen.
I'll explain what I do:
1. Flash superwipe g2
2. Flash the rom in recovery
I accidently deleted my froyo nandroid but I have one from xborders rom so I at least have a usable phone. Could my sd card be messed up? I've tried it on the two I have.
I had this problem with my other phone too, no matter what I tried I couldn't get CM7 to work. Now it seems like no roms are working.
After I do flash a rom, it doesn't say reboot system like I think it should? I have to hit back to go back into the recovery menu.

Ended up fixing the problem, thanks to anyone who looked at this!

Care to tell us how you fixed in case someone else comes to this thread for reference?

He probably didn't root the phone properly or the partition table has been messed up. To fix something like that just flash a stock ROM that you know works on the phone and from there you can use any root method to get SuperCID, Permanent ROOT, an unlocked HBOOT and ClockWorkMod. Then any rom designed for the G2/DZ should be flashed just fine as long as the requirements are met.

[Q] How can I restore my original 2.2 FroYo?

I've tried to root my phone, it didn't work, so I want to go back to my 2.2 stock, can anyone describe a quite detailed guide for me? I'd love you forever. =D

explain a bit more what is with your phone,what you did in what state is,rooted or not s-off or not and so on

If you tried rooting your phone through alpharevX but were unable to (that is your phone is not rooted) and now when you try to turn it on it goes into a sort of blocked state showing a phone with a triangle next to it or you want for whatever reason to get your phone back to 'brand new' state (factory settings)..... (beware this will only work if you haven't flashed your phone with some other ROM) all you need to do is turn it back off, then push the volume-down button and the power button (volume button first, then keeping the first still pushed the other)... now go to clear storage (use volume buttons up and down to navigate and the power button to confirm) so push the power button then the volume up button that's it....
Mind you if you have an PC49IMG.zip file on your sd card you are gonna have to delete it before doing this.

Thanks for the replies, but I've managed to instal Cyanogenmod so I don't longer need to go back to FroYo. =)

Lol, own.

Any idea if floating around there is a base ROM for the HTC Wildfire so as to restore to its out-of-box system ROM.
Ideally something I can use from ROM Manager.
I'm asking because twice I've used the stock RUU restore prog and it has un-rooted my HTC Wildfire

Check Safe Flash RUU's in Point 5 of 1st post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
They are untouched stock ROM's, offered as a flashable ZIP.

Problem
I have nearly the exact same situation, except my phone(when turned on) gets stuck at the boot screen(telstra next g) i think i will use the stock 2.2 RUU to get back to the stock un-rooted ROM
I gained S-OFF with alpharevX beta and used gingerbreak to get root. I tried to get into clockwork mod, after using root toolbox to install it, to install cyanogen mod 7 but it would not load. HTC Wildfire, 2.2.1 Froyo,

Did you perform a full wipe before flashing the Cyanogenmod ROM file? Not doing so leads to bootloops, as you have described.

I did not even get to flash cyanogen mod. I cannot get into recovery. I chOose recovery but it goes to fast boot please help

I tried to use the stock RUU for 2.2 but it would not find my device, i tried twice. Once while it was stuck at the boot logo and the second time at the fastboot menu. Please help! I tried a clear data (htc wildfires take on hard reset) and it is still just stuck on the logo

i found a fix! i went into fasboot and ran the RUU on another computer with HTC Sync installed and it worked perfectly! i have now got clockworkmod installed and working excellent!

Help please - trouble with CWM / Recovery, new ROM

Hello all,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but I thought I'd give it a try.
I own a Desire myself and the rooting / flashing a new ROM process was pretty easy so I thought I can help a friend out and put a custom ROM on his new Motorola Defy. Turns out I sucked at it. *ahem*
Right, the problem is as follows:
I got the brand new device, used SuperOneClick to root it, tried ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod CWM and it said Defy isnt supported in ROM Manager. So I google'd and it came up with this [german] (not allowed to post links), which basically gave me CWM.zip with an apk in it, which installed "System Recovery" and gave me the option to "Install System Recovery" and Reboot into Recovery - successfully bootet into CWM 2.5.1.8 , alright.
I did a nandroid backup and then wiped everything, selected the ROM on the sdcard to install MIUI 1.9.9 ROM, which worked fine. After it finished installing, I chose reboot system now.
Now what happens is:
I try to boot normally: I Only get the Motorola logo on screen and nothing ever happens
I boot into recovery like I used to know (Power + VolDown), I get a screen with a yellow exclamation mark and the android robot on it. Figured out that both volume keys take me to Android System Recovery Utility. I wiped everything again, that didn't help. I tried giving it the CWM.zip as an update.zip but it refuses that because it's apparently not properly signed. I can't do anything else in there. It also gives me a couple of errors "E: Can't moint CACHE:recovery/command" (/caller, /log)
Please, can anybody help me out? It seems I can't boot any ROM from it right now, nor do I know how to get CWM back in to at least even restore the nandroid backup (which I still have).
I would love to, at the end of the day, have a rooted device with CWM running and MIUI 1.9.9. If that doesn't work, at least can I restore the CWM backup somehow to have to stock ROM running?
I would really appreciate any help very much and realize I may be in over my head, it just seemed too easy on the Desire I previously used. Thanks a lot!

[Q] HTC Desire GSM stuck in "fastboot"

Hello forum!
Yesterday when I found out that the new CWM Recovery Touch had been announced I just had to try it. Since I didnt wanna spend $ 2 for it, I was going to flash it in just as ive done with CM 7.1 and GAPPS. When i was going to enter the Recovery Mode via HBOOT (Power button and Volume up) I chose "Recovery" by pressing volume down and power. This resulted in a .5 second AlphaRev splashscreen flash and I didnt enter Recovery, I was stuck in Fastboot. Ive read many threads becuse I wanted the new feature, but that didnt resolve in any success. Im S-OFFd and im using the newest CWM Recovery (5.0.2.0) FYI. Ive tried to Hardreset, turn off and take out the battery and put it back in (and even use my charger during the HBOOT process) but no luck so far. This is why im turning to you guys becuse im kinda new to this things. I hope maybe someone have some experiance in this kind of errors and might help me, becuse I dont know what to do. Thank you in advance.

Edit: Watched some videos, am I able to use the Unrevoked 3 tool again (since i rooted and flashed cwm at first with it) to "reflash" the recovery so it could work? Or am I going to brick my phone?

Check bortak's troubleshooting guide.

Fix
Ive got this all fixed now, it seems that the CWM 5.x was still a beta and it messed up my recovery, a simple downgrade back to 2.5.0.7 made some magic and set my device back into recovery on demand.

Also have this problem on v5.006.
I'm trying to downgrade now.

PLEASE HELP! Stuck on booting white HTC screen....

I'm new at this sort of. I've got this HTC wildfire s(A510c, CDMA), I recently rooted it(successful), I wanted to get a custom rom so i decided to download ROM manager and install clockwordmod as you had too in order to get they're roms. I downloaded a rom that was based on Sense 3.5, I left the package and everything as is, i tried "installing from the SD" i backed up, and rebooted into clockworkmod booting screen, i installed it from sd cleared the cache and so on but still no changes but it froze several times and eventually completely rest, i tried it one more time, it froze and now its stuck on the white HTC screen and won't go any further but i can still access HBOOT and Clockworkmod Bootloader but bootloader likes to freeze on me a lot, can you help me? that would be greatly appreciated

Look for the ruu that goes with your phone. You can probably find it in football's thread. Run the ruu and that should get you back to original state. When you go install a rom, make sure it's for your phone, otherwise you can brick it.
Edit : Here's a link to the US Carriers RUU's. Make sure you use the right one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432425
