My Evo stays in the white htc evo 4g screen and wont go to boot. How can I go to the recovery? I have taken out the battery and turned it back on while holding the power button and up volume key and it vibrates three times and wont go to the recovery. How can I fix this?
Hold the volume DOWN button, then press the power and keep holding volume down
Your going to have to flash a/the Rom your using over.
Assuming your rooted, pull the battery. Next, put it back in, and hold vol down along with power until you boot into bootloader mode (screen with skateboarding androids.) From there, select recovery (navigate with vol keys.) After, select flash zip from SD card. If your using RA Recovery, make sure the Rom is on the root of your SD card, if your using clockwork, you may find it in any folder that you placed it. Once imaging is complete, select reboot now.
If your not sure which Rom to select, I recommend JoeyKrim's 5.1 Rom. Stock, without lousyness. And if your not familiar with downloading roms, one note, do not extract them from the ".zip" format. Flash them as is.
Sorry for overloading you with this if you already know it. I'm just assuming you don't since you didn't try it yet.
Best of luck,

I have fully charged battery by external battery charger. if i plug it into usb i get no lights what so ever. Did it brick on me?
Hi,
I rooted my DHD today and tried to flash the CyanogenMod-7 for Desire HD & Inspire. It seemed to work but now keeps re-booting every couple of seconds. It won't actually stay on long enough to put another ROM on. Can anyone help? This is the first time I've done something like this and it seemed to be going so well!
Thanks!
Pull the battery for about 10 seconds. Then hold the vol- button down and power your device on. Now you should see a white screen with some text on it. Navigate to recovery and press the power button. Now it should boot into recovery.
In the recovery choose wipe data/factory reset ald let it finish. Once its finished choose wipe cache partition.
Then go to install .zip from sd and then choose zip from sd. Now search for your rom and reinstall it

This is common. Simply wait for it to boot and power off or use the power button to select reboot. You only have to do it once.
The instructions for installing CM7 all say to install ROM then reboot after first complete start up. Shouldn't need to reinstall anything.
Having been left alone for a few hours it seems to have sorted itself out. Thanks! I just wasn't expecting it to spend quite so long re-booting.
I guess you have enabled wi-fi just after flash cm7. Seems like there is a bug or whatever, all you need is re-boot device after first boot.
And about the re-boot loop, just remove battery to turn off you device then turn it on, enter recovery and flash cm7 again WITHOUT do wipe operation. OK, In this time remember to re-boot after first boot.
I got a bit trigger happy and tried to flash Android Revolution HD 3.3. I did a full wipe from ClockworkMod Recovery and tried to install the zip, exactly like I did for the previous ROM. That kept aborting the installation so I mounted the phone and re-downloaded and copied it onto the SD card again. Same problem. I then tried to re-install cm7 and that also kept aborting.
I now have the message "Back menu button disabled" and if I use the power button to select anything it goes straight to a white triangle with an explanation and the Droid, which I think is stock recovery? I'm getting there from what I think is Clockwork though. Is this recoverable or have I managed to brick it?
I had a similar issue a few days ago - it turned out that the battery stats were screwed up so a fix for me was to boot into recovery and then wiping the battery stats.
Everything was fine after that.
How do I do that? I don't want to reboot out of Clockwork as I'm not 100% sure I actually have a ROM at the moment.
Can boot into menu. Highlight recovery. Press power button. Powers down, not completely though. Screen stays on slightly. When waiting 5 minutes and press power button boots into loop again.

Going to leave battery out for the night as read in other posts. Fixes the problem of not totally shutting down for some. Thanks.
Well leaving battery out didn't help. Continuous boot loop. Put on charger after turning off orange light came on and didn't go to green after 10 hours. Restarted when I got home and boot loop again. Had CoreDroid ROM installed. Working fine than tried to load Kalagas Mixed Theme and that is where I am now. Looping.
Even a blind squirrel will find a nut now and then. During HTC Hboot menu, noticed it was looking for PD98IMG zip. So I shut phone down. Inserted card with it on it and it restored to original firmware. PHEW. Hope this might help someone else.
Hi guys, my HTC G2 used to work perfectly fine. Then I started experiencing freezing where I would have to remove the battery. Phone is unlocked, rooted with S-off. Then the klast time it froze, i removed the battery and now the phone will not go past the bootscreen. While I am on the clockwork recovery screen, anything I select goes to the clockwork logo and stays there until I remove the battery. It doesn't allow me to factory reset or load a new rom. Starting up the phone goes to the MyTouch logo and boots over and over. Could this be a hardware issue? I don't know what to do! HEEEELPPP!!!!
Mytouch? Please boot into hboot, select system info and post it. Need to know what you have going on before we can help.

If you are in recovery and go to "select" something, then get just the logo, you are pressing the power button..wrong button. Hit the track pad.
Don't know why you are seeing a mytouch logo seeing this isn't a mytouch phone(unless you flashed the port)
U can do a reset from hboot. Pull battery, hold down volume(down) and power until you get there. Then scroll to factory rest and this time hit the power button

are you getting E: Can't mount cache errors in recovery?
Cause if you are you probably have the broken emmc chip.
My phone was doing something very similiar too yours (freezing completely) and had this error.

This morning I tried to flash Blackout ICS Incredible. I am currently stuck on stuck green logo with white backgroud forever. I am using CWM touch recovery. I can not get to cwm, bootloader or Hboot menu. Only way i can reboot is to take out the battery. Once I put the battery in and let it boot, it goes back to logo screen and gets stuck. Then I took out the battery again and put it back it and press power button while pressing down vol- button, and it goes back to same logo screen and stuck. Again if i take out the battery and put it back it, and if I press the power button while pressing down the vol+ button, the phone vibrates 3 times and goes blank(dark) with battery indicator light blinking(i am not sure if that is battery light).
Any help would be appreciate. I am trying to connect to adb or fastboot, but it does not connect to the phone yet.
Pull the battery, wait five minutes.
Press and hold the volume down button, then press the power button. Don't let go. Wait.... wait, should go into recovery.
Full wipe.
Format data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions except sd card.
Restore a back up.
Then read how to get that rom working. Been posted too many times as for me to repeat it. Check the thread somewhere below yours, the title of the thread I believe is the same as the rom, answer is there.

Just saw the HBoot screen but lost it. What I did was, took out the battery, sdcard, SIM. Replace the battery but not the cover of the battery. Then I hit power and volume(plus/minus) button, the HBoot menu came up, but because the batter cover was not placed, the menu was lost when I did not hold the phone tight, meaning batter got loose. Now I am trying to get back to HBoot menu again after replace battery and cover but to no avail. I still have sdcard, SIM out of the phone. I think there is some combination of keys you've to press coming out from cold boot vs. not. will keep on trying unless someone already knows.

That is common flashing that rom. Choose full wipe in aroma installer even if you did it manually. When the flash is done, don't choose to reboot with aroma installer...DO IT MANUALLY from recovery!!...that should solve it...:good:
The same happened to me and found that solution in their thread.

I was able to get to HBoot, choose recovery, came up with CWM touch, did the wipe data/app, delvic, cache, did format /data, /* all the mentioned other than /sdcard. Then went to install from sdcard and choose that Blackout rom. went through the installer but at the end chose not to reboot from the installer as suggested. Then came back to CWM touch menu and did the reboot from there. It stuck on that logo screen again for 5 minutes. Now again took out the battery for few minutes, and want to go back to HBoot, but could not. Do I have to take out SDCARD as well, Do not think so but not sure. And why do we have to take out battery for so long, any idea, taking battery out for a minute isn't enough?
5 minutes just in case.
You missed one step. Wipe from aroma as well.

Should work without battery pull as long as you power off. But when it doesn't, battery pull.
Just volume down, the power, both pressed till it turns on.
Oh, and fastboot unchecked
Edit: if it stll doesnt work, could be a bad download.

If that doesn't work this straight booted bricked phone when nothing else would. Took 2 months of searching but I got it working within 5 minutes. It's from a thunderbolt forum but I think the commands are the same except for the img name.http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/480350-easier-way-flash-pg05img-files.htmli was stuck with hboot s-on, no recovery whatsoever, security warning, no sd card, NOTHING.

After monkeying around with this ROM for a day, it was actually problem with CWM recovery. It looks like this ROM is not compatible with this recovery. I replaced cwm with 4ext recovery and voila I was able to flash this new ROM. Thank you guys so much for helping out. This community is really great to be part of.

I had the same problem after unlocking the bootloader on HTCdev. After a lot of searching, it seems that the HTC process keeps the boot partition locked from recovery but not from fastboot.
I was able to get around this by unzipping the Rom and flashing boot.IMG using fastboot and then flashing the Rom again.

Hi, first off I don't really know what all the terms mean , but my phone is rooted, and has a ROM? installed, I'm not 100% sure on what it is as I've forgotten, but I think it is Cyanogenmod?
The past few weeks my phone has been restarting randomly and freezing every now and again. This morning when I tried to unlock it the touchscreen wasn't responding, and this had happened before. I took the battery out and tried to turn it back on. I see HTC splash screen pop up, and that's all I get. I've tried turning it on whilst plugged in charging, and still nothing. It's all fully charged. I've tried turning it on whilst holding the volume down button and it vibrates 3 times and still nothing.
Thanks for any help!
can you still go to bootloader then recovery?
Hold the power button and volume up to get into bootloader, then select recovery. Try to clear cache and davik cache then restart. If its wont work u should freshly reinstall.
I was in your case when using Jellytime R11...my phone started and freezed at boot screen. No matter how manytimes I removed the battery n restarted the phone just stood still. All I can do is go to recovery...

I've just tried that, and unfortunately it didn't work. When I do that the phone vibrates 3 times, and the orange LED flashes, and has been flashing for around 5 minutes now. The screen also doesn't turn on at any point.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks, I've looked around and can't find a tutorial on how to do that on a Desire HD. Do you know of one, or a good generic tutorial I could follow?
Thanks again.
Take the Sim SDCard Out as well as battery. Wait a few minutes then only replace the battery back and see if it fully boots If it does then power down the phone pull the battery wait again a few minutes then boot with the VOL DOWN key and then factory reset it.
With this done its one more battery pull and boot again it should be fine after that.

Unfortunately that didn't work. I'm not sure if this is of any help, but when booting normally, almost immediately after the white HTC splash screen, the screen flashes blue for half a second.
Thanks for the help!
No clue how I've done it, but I've been pressing button for the last 10 minutes and managed to get in to what I believe is the bootloader? It's a white screen with Fastboot, Recovery, Factory Reset etc and the options. What shall I do from here?
I wiped the cache, and booted and then it froze saying "Android is upgrading, starting apps"
This step takes a while. But if you could get into the bootloader which is Fastboot Recovery and Factory reset you could of choose Factory Reset to see if that fixed the issue.
yup, since you can now access your bootloader, from the recovery just flash your rom, remember to do full wipe first, data, cache and dalvik cache...
