when I boot my phone up, instead of the htc and boot animation screen it stays a black screen, Whenever I try to back up my current ROM or Go into recovery mode the screen goes black untill I take out the battery and reboot, what could be causing this problem and how could I fix it? Like I said I can't get into CWM so a wipe is out of the question, and adb isn't an option right now, please help

Are you able to get into your bootloader/hboot screen (hold the power button and the volume down button)?

You should stop bumping this thread. Nobody is posting in this forum so you don't have to worry about your thread being lost...
Similar thing happened to me, but I could actually get to the HTC screen. What you need to do is set up adb, and get to your bootloader by holding vol. down + power and start fastboot usb. There is no way to fix an issue like this if you can't use/get into your recovery. From there you can try fastboot erase system -w and then fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery] and then fashboot update [CM7.zip]. Clockwork mod recovery can be found here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting
i would but now my phone is deciding not to connect via USB, i think its falling apart, maybe time to get a new phone i guess...
Wait, you are able to boot up normally?
If so, use flash_image recovery recovery.img to flash CWM again.

From within your rom you need to download the CWM recovery image and save it on your SDcard. Name it recovery.
Use terminal emulator and type in:
Su
Ls sdcard
Flash_image recovery recovery.img
This will flash the recovery back you your phone

Assuming you've tried to flash recovery from ROM manager (Choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" within ROM manager), if not - do that.
Otherwise, try this:
Download this: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img
rename it to "recovery.img" and place it on the root of your SD card.
Use terminal emulator on your phone, and type the following 1 line at a time:

I recommend getting on Wi-Fi.
Download ROM Manager from the Market. You MUST have at least 2.5.0.6.

Choose G2 as your phone.
Accept the Superuser prompt.
Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.

This happened to me (and a few others in the other thread). Pull the battery, restart, reflash recovery (via rom manager), fix permissions (via rom manger, might not be needed), start a new backup. Should work.
(Thanks temjinzero for this method)
Thanks Koush for an awesome job!
If your phone restarts while in Clockwork after flashing and gives you a screen with a red triangle, do not panic and start using it as a paperweight immediately.
Pull the battery, reboot and reflash Clockwork.
I wasn't able to boot again for a few minutes after the battery pull. The power button did not have any effect. Not fastboot nor regular boot. After 2-3 minutes of pain, utter pain, I was able to get into fastboot, then reboot like normal.
Thank you to Koush, cyprusxr3 and mdel.

I have everything else done except when i shut the phone off and plug it in it goes into recovery mode (clockwork)! How do i get it to stop doing such? Thanks
I think thats because usb debugging is checked on. Uncheck that and it should stay powered off when charging.

You can't flash clockworkmod without being rooted and rooting your phone voids your warranty.
If you have ENG (engineering SPL) and the stock recovery image, just put the image in yourr tools folder, power down then power back on holding volume down to enter the bootloader, then select fastboot on the phone, then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then reboot.

Koushik Dutta's Clockwork Recovery:
Attention: Some people experience problems when flashing through Rom Manager. Flashing again usually fixes the issue. Use method below for best results. If on pure stock, your recovery will be overwritten unless you delete your /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
To flash recovery for Nexus S 4G, download recovery 5.0.2.0 or recovery touch 5.8.0.2 and place it into your sdk tools folder. Reboot into bootloader and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo4g.img
or if you prefer the touch version:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img

I had some issues doing it through rom manager. It was a no go so I flashed through bootloader.
I haven't checked if old backups are compatible yet. Anyone care to try and post?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Every time I click on the update from inside ROM Manager, something terrible happens. I used think it was because I clicked on the link for the other Nexus S, but I was super duper careful this time.
If I try to reboot into recovery without being attached to my PC after flashing a new recovery in ROM Manager, I get stuck in fastboot. If I tell it to please boot me into recovery so can add a shiny new object to my Android, it tells me, "No ma'am." And, if im being honest, when I can't flash exciting new thingys on the go, existence begins to seem somewhat more futile. I'm sure you understand.
Might as well ask if there's a way I can fix it before I get home (in TEN HOURS) by fastbooting from a terminal or something. Okay, I'm begging.
p.s. I feel like I didn't get invited to most of Version 3 and all of Version 4.

I can confirm they do work.
Trying to upgrade from 4.0.0.2 to 5.0.0.0, I keep getting stuck on "Waiting for device"..
If on windows...your driver is bad.
Try flash_image gui by Joeykrim
Well here is the thing, I can push/pull things from the device, I can adb shell to the device.. Everytime I try flash the recovery, I get the waiting for device
Well if on Windows, fastboot driver needs to be there along with adb.driver. Two different things
Didnt work through rom manager, had to do it via fastboot. I dig the new color!
so rom manager updated my cwm to this one and when i go to reboot into recovery it goes into bootloader and which i chose recovery nothing happens .... first line says FASTBOOT - NO RECOVERY OR BOOT IMG
For anybody having flashing/ pushing/ just getting the new cwm recovery use the flash_image by GUI app located in the ns4g app section. I can't stress it enough, but it your trying to computer up to speed for Android development I understand.

I updated through ROM Manager and it worked just fine. I believe as long as you are running the latest version of ROM Manager you shouldn't have any issues.
When i press volume down + Power button and go to HBoot
it tells me that i am using Clockwork MOD Recovery v3.0.0.6
i want to update it to latest version i downloaded recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz and copy this Zip file on SD card and installed Clockwork MOD Recovery v5.0.2.0
i can see that it changes menu & font color into blue
but when ever i restarts or shut down the phone and go back to HBoot ( volume down + Power button ) i see the same old v3.0.0.6
any suggestions...
help
use this from your bootloader, you need to rename it pc49img.zip (make sure its not named .zip.zip) it should come up saying recovery update, flash? push volume up. after that let it boot to to the boot animations, the battery pull. take out the sdcard and then reboot the bootloader. then go to recovery and it should be up to 5.0.2.0

just the update.zip should do. are you definatly s-off?
yes i am s-off. still not working.
Some steps that I told to another person wanting to update their recovery.
Do you have fastboot?
do you have fastboot in with your SDK tools?
Download [RECOVERY][MOD][Wildfire][02-Nov-2011] Clockwork 5.0.2.7.111102
Extract the zip, and rename to recovery.img to make it simple in ADB.
move the recovery.img to the same folder as your fastboot is in so FOR ME it will be in C:\ ANDROID \ ANDROID-SDK \ TOOLS \ recovery.img
as fastboot is located in ANDROID-SDK / TOOLS / fastboot.exe
then follow these commands EXACTLY as I tell you.
reboot phone in to bootloader - Power off, then HOLD volume down and press power, use volume keys for up and down and select fastboot.
now, open command line and start ADB - This part I expect you to know if you have a rooted phone, but just in case run these commands: - start adb, remount, and open a shell - the commands are "adb remount", then enter "adb shell"
1) adb start-server
2) adb remount
3) adb shell
then enter the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
FINALLY, enter "fastboot reboot"
Recovery update complete... try rebooting into recovery to confirm this and it should show a new recovery
Click Thanks if this works

You can flash recovery without a computer.

That might be a problem I need to type su and since I have no binaries my terminal emulator won't have su privileges.

There isn't an option under settings --> developer options for root? At one time, they had didn't options for apps, adb, or both. You would need the both box checked for it to boot into recovery via an app. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not even sure if they still do it this way.
And it is strange that you can't boot in recovery. Instead of the power off, then hold volume up, home button, and power....have you just tried to reboot the phone and when the screen goes blank hold the volume up and home? I've had luck getting into recovery by that.
Plus, if you are running CM, there should be a reboot option for recovery when you power off. Reboot --> recovery.
Last idea, have you tried to download goo manager from the market? That works well with TWRP.

I tried goo and that didn't work.
Cm does have the reboot options, but it had to be turned on. Developer options doesnt show up under settings, but I remember there was a way to turn it on. I went under "About phone or Device" clicked on everything like 10 times and I forgot which 1 it was, but I unlocked developer options. Turned on reboot menu. Rebooted phone into recovery and although it took a while I got into recovery. Flashed a new rom and I'm back in action.
Thank u guys honestly. I could not have done it without u guys.
Glad u got it

U definitely missed it. Go to the original development section the cm 10.1 thread and I think it was 10 pages back from the last page. They posted an EARLY preview. Had a few glitches but nothing to major.
Its the first post on page 657. A few post down are the gapps.
