Desire Z Recovery mode help! - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

You should to choose factory reset in Hboot screen.

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

[Q] can't get into recovery from fastboot

ok got a situation with a desire thats already been rooted
it was rooted with unrevoked and flashed with opendesire 4.04, i then updated to Amethyst RC7 (gingerbread) but this did not work with my sim unlock code - i kept getting emergency calls only message
so then flashed miui chinese which worked but when I try and get to clockwork recovery from fastboot i just get the white screen with green HTC logo. I need to get into clockwork to flash the english language pack.
Any ideas?
Apologies if its already been covered, i tried searching
What do you se on the fast boot screen. Do you se e the recovery option? How are you accessing fast boot, via power button or by power off and then vol+ power?

Perhaps a silly. Question but have you tried adb reboot recovery?

/sigh and /facepalm
When your in fastboot, select hboot, let it search then select recovery. Done!

[Q]Can't boot into recovery from a powered down state

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.

Stuck in bootloop after flashing mistake

I was using charmeleon 5 with franco r10 kernel when I decided to switch roms to ARHD. I realized i flashed the kernel without first copying over the ARHD zip and am stuck in a bootloop. Is there anyway to remedy this? I have a backup of stock rom in cwm.
Flash the franco r10 boot image, not the modules, whipe (factory reset, cache & dalvik in Advanced in CWM) and flash the backup of your original ROM. Should be fine then

I had a similar problem, but when connecting the phone to the computer it wouldn't recognise it in the ADB, so I had to use an RUU to bring my phone back to life! That worked, but I had to root it again and then install the rom!
This was all because I earlier wiped my phone so couldn't flash the rom as nothing was on my SD card, or whatever it is called! So morale of the story, make sure you have backups . Was a schoolboy error!
Don't need adb, just fastboot. Can you boot into fastboot? Of not, search the forums for 'back to stock'. Plenty of info.
I learned the hard way too...

If you bootloop, hold the power button down, youll see the buttons at the bottom flash about 4 times and then the phone will shut off. After that press volume down and hold in until you get into the bootloader. The select recovery and then fix it. Problem solved

You need to flash the boot.img in fastboot first if you want to recover your previous ROM. Unless the USB-mount in CWM recovery is functional (in previous version it wasn't, haven't tried in current version). In that case you can mount your SD from recovery, copy the ARHD ROM to your SD, flash it and you are good to go!

hboot

hi,
I always stuck on htc splash screen, i tried millions times to flash custom rom or return to stock rom. i couldnt use hox since 3-4 weeks

Hi
Ive made a right mistake i have flashed CWM as boot.img and have no access to the fastboot menu to reflash the correct .img. can any one help ive been looking but cant find anything.
If i leave the phone to boot without holding down any buttons it boots into CWM v5.8.4.0
Then when i go into advanced then select reboot recovery it boots CWM v5.8.3.1
When i hold down the vol button it still boots into CWM v5.8.4.0

Many Thanks

[Q] Can't boot up my DHD

I was going to flash a new ROM on my DHD and did the usual steps: backup using TB, reboot to recovery, factory reset and then go find zip to install on SDCARD. But this time instead of finding my zips I had already transferred, I found none. So I mounted the SDCARD through the recovery menu and transferred the zip using my laptop.
I still couldn't see the zips, so I chose to reboot the phone from the recovery menu. Booted into old ROM, completed the setup wizard and rebooted to recovery again. Still no zips! So I turned the phone off and was just going to boot straight to recovery using VOL UP and POWER but then I only got three short vibrations and nothing happened, so I booted again to ROM and rebooted to recovery from there.
This time nothing happend, nothing at all. And now I'm stuck where I cant boot it, not to recovery, not to HBOOT and not to ROM. Tried taking out the battery and putting it back in. Tried turning it on using just POWER, using VOL UP and POWER, using VOL DOWN and POWER - and in different time length combinations. adb reboot bootloader cant find the phone. The LED doesn't light up when plugged to USB.
ROM: JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g - 4.2.2 R4
Recovery: ClockworkMod
I'm guessing my DHD is completely bricked, right?

Oh dear poor you, I'm no expert, but unless your battery is dead, I'd say you killed your phone. Can't even get into recovery yikes.

If your battery is dead you may need to ask a friend to charge it for you? If your phone still boots into recovery you havent killed your phone, if you go to the htc web site & look for the correct software for your phone you may have to apply that to reboot your phone again, but after you will need to root again? But first try another rom a stable one & try doing this - factory reset/full wipe, then wipe cache, then wipe dev cache, then fash the new rom. Hope this helps
