Can you get into the Android OS?

Once at the 2nd screen (black with the red !) press volume up & power and you'll get a small menu, you can then select 'Apply SD:update.zip' and run a custom recovery
EDIT: OK, should really look at pictures and not assume!! I've not seen the 2nd picture before, you normally get a red !

I've never seen that screen either. I'm just wondering if it was maybe a T-mobile splash screen or something as it looks pinkish?
The OP doesn't say if the handset is branded or if he tried to root it. Perhaps this is the normal screen seen on a stock T-mobile handset if there is a rom problem etc?
It's all guesswork I suppose till we get more info.

Have you tried using Unrevoked? It can flash a custom recovery directly to the phone so if you press recovery on your first screen, it will load directly the custom recovery instead of android recovery or whatever the second screen is about.
Maybe your network operator has done something similiar and thats why you dont see the red triangle with exclamation mark in the second screen.
I, for example, have flashed AmonRa recovery with unrevoked and now when I get to the first screen and select recovery, it loads AmonRa directly.

I think that screen means that you need to press 'volume up' and 'power' at the same time, in order to proceed. This was a step in the process when I de-branded my phone..

It's not the same screen, my first post in this thread assumed the same until I looked at the picture...it's not the red ! but a pinkish circle

Really sorry for long answering. Got a long day

Actually i've done unrerevoked. It told me "done"
The probleme is i had black screen and had to put out battery.
I'm ready to throw out all my media from phone, but i don't know what i have to do.

what os are on? 2.1 or 2.2? find and reflas your original ruu. and redo unrevoked all over again. prefer amonra's recovery. less problems.

it seems to me I can't pm.
I've already sent a message, but it didn't showed in my pm box.
could you just pm your gtalk or something else to me?

Aerobro, I received your PM so they are working. Unfortunately I didn't have time to respond, and won't be online too much until Monday now.
I see you have other offers of help via PM, so in the meantime I'll leave you with them. If you are still having bother I'll see what I can do for you when I'm next able to.
To be honest though, your best bet for help is here in the forum. More people will see your problem, what stage you are at in resolving it, and if fixed they can use it for reference.
Let me know how you get on.

[Q] Splash Screen

Hey I need help locating where the Rogers splash screen logo is. I unpacked the kernel and looked through it but there were no .rle files in it. I also unpacked a custom kernel that I downloaded form here and still found nothing. The phone is awesome there's nothing else in it, that's all that's left for it to be debranded.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

i think its /system/media/bootanimation.zip

No, he is no talking about the boot animation, he is talking about the boot logo.
Anyway, I also have interest on this, if any dev (Maybe dman) could help us out, I would be really thankful.

Likewise, if I could change to either a blank screen or a Samsung logo, you would not be able to tell it's a ROGERS phone. For such a small phone, it packs a punch!

That's exactly what I would like to do, Samsung Boot Logo, and, maybe Galaxy Nexus Boot Animation, or even no Boot Animation at all XD

i have tried almost everything i know, but its pretty different with phone, usually its in boot.img but i dont have a boot.img and the stock rom i have dont have it included. i also tried the kernel but no luck there.. or i maybe doing it all wrong! any help?????

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659584
I'm just going to wait until the dev releases the new version with this:
Automatic script to change boot splash in a kernel with your favourite png file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or maybe when ICS it's released I'll just use a Linux USB with "Save" option, and do the whole f*cking process XD
But, if somebody have the time, and want to try this out now, let me suggest a Samsung Logo, white letters, and black background, simple and classic.

bump anyone?

please help. im looking to remove the rogers logo too. i need to know in which partition its in. help please! ^_^

[Q] Can't access bootloader or recovery, black screen only

Hi guys,
I've tried searching but can't seem to find something that exactly matches my issue and I'm scared I'm gunna muck this up!
Just got a One X and unlocked, rooted and flashed android revolution 9.4.1 with CWM and all was working great.
Tonight I decided to flash a camera mod, worked well. I also flashed a beats mod, brightness mod and quick settings.
Now all I get is the phone stuck in a bootloop, no access to the bootloader via power on and vol down.
I'm new to HTC devices like this and I'm kinda new to all of this including fastboot etc
I would really appreciate some help here and if someone could point me in the right direction and help me get this sorted then a pint is on me sir.
If you could keep it simple like step by step
Really sorry if this is in the wrong forum
James

Mods are specific to the base on the ROM, sounds like you flashed an incompatible mod.
You should still be able to get into bootloader, though. Try again, then drop into recovery and reflash ARHD.

thanks for getting back to me,
Yeh i think it must be an incompatability.
Nope sorry cant access bootloader or fastboot, the phones charge has now died too.

Is it going back to displaying the white HTC screen when it bootloops? If so, keep the volume down key held before it loops and it should go into bootloader.

I'm at work now so I can't test this but I will do when I get home, thanks for the suggestion.
If this works, what do I need to do next?
PS: The phone has NO charge, any way I can charge it?
Thank you

[Q] Desire HD messed up

Hello everyone,
I have been using this website to try out different things with my DHD. Last month I rooted the phone myself and ran jellybean on it. Then I wanted to try android revolution so i wiped that off and copied another rom in it. I went through the installation process but for some reason it did not work properly. Now when i start my phone it boots into recovery mode and if i select reboot now it restarts and shows the Green HTC logo with white screen and then the screen goes total black, as in black light comes up and stays like forever. I am a noob as its obvious so please help in as simple language as possible. Waiting for your suggestions.
Thanks.

add info.

and I cant install another rom either cause if i select any option in recovery mode it restarts and goes to the black screen. I think there is no solution to this problem but if anyone can help that would be great.

S-Off or unlocked bootloader? You could try fastboot flashing another recovery.

[Q] Unable to boot into recovery mode with rooted Z1 Compact...?

Hi guys,
Hope you're all well and enjoying the weekend! First off, i have googled and searched my ass off,but still can't find a solution for this. Basically my Z1 Compact will not bot into recovery mode. I used the EasyRoot tool yesterday, which appears to have worked fine. I then installed SUperSU and ROM Manager which also seemed to work fine. So, as I want to install the 4k and 120fps recording mod I then of course went to boot into recovery mode to deox my ROM...
...and no joy. I literally cannot get it to boot into recovery. I have tried:
, it just goesto the Xperia logo and then right into the normal boot process
Using ROM Manager option
Using Quick Boot app
Pressing Vol+ at boot (both by holding and clicking it repeatedly)
Dancing around the phone while singing
If anyone has any ideas I would be very, very grateful. I genuinely could find any a solution that helped when searching the forum. Thanks in advance.

Have you actually installed a recovery?, there is no stock one. It's a shame all your Googling didn't lead you to the stickys.

Ahhhh crap, that was indeed the missing piece of the puzzle. I genuinely didn't see it from my research, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

ok, sorry for the stupid question, but i'm also having the same issue. yesterday, after MUCH trial and tribulation (on a mac) was able to unlock the bootloader (per sony's recently published instructions) and then when i went to root the phone, could not boot into recovery mode to save my life. found this here, and of course there must not be a recovery partition on the phone, but how do i get one? i have googled and found many instructions but they are all for PC, which does me not good.
i did manage to instal SUperSU on the micro sd card which is seen by the phone.
i'm completely new at this, completely lost, completely frustrated, and using a mac to top it off. any help is GREATLY appreciated!!! i'm kind of dead in the water without it.
thanks!!

Make sure you flash the right files for the right firmware, but at least you're a step further.
