I have rooted the phone and was able to flash a new rom with no problem. Now I tried to do a full root and now my phone just stayed in reboot recovery mode, with a black screen w/ an EVO and an "!". I can not get my phone into "Android system recovery" in yellow letters at the very top mode
So when you boot while holding down the VOL DOWN and Power can you get into hboot, can you then go into recovery?
you have to use toasts EVO recovery and push the files to it. Im guessing you never did nand unlocking

I tried to do NAND unlock, once i put the phone in reboot recovery the phone just sits in reboot recovery mode
Mods close this thread, I had to load the shipped rom and start from scratch, but now i'm fully rooted with NAND.
Hi all,
I'm about to flash a new ROM, I performed the nandroid backup.
Now when I power on with the volume down, it goes straight to a screen that says 'FastBoot' highlighted in red, and then my options are Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down. I have tried doing it manually, as well as doing it with 'Rom Manager'. If I'm about to go to a new ROM, is this right? I have just downloaded the new rom to the SD card, but can't get to the screen where I tell it which rom to select. How do I make it do this?
When it first comes on now, with the volume held down, it goes straight to 'FastBoot', when I select Bootloader, and then 'Recovery', it goes back to the 'FastBoot' screen...
EDIT: Forgot to include the details. Running a stock evo, haven't loaded a new ROM before. I have root access through unrevoked. I was able to access the Clockwork Mod just the other night to perform the backup, etc. Now, however, it won't let me. I'm betting it's something silly that I did, or one of the programs is stuck in 'Fastboot only' or something like that. But, I don't know where I would have selected that... HTC Evo, Android 2.2. Lastly, whatever I select in the 'FastBoot' program (either Bootloader, recovery, fastboot, etc) it will only reboot into 'Fastboot'.
EDIT 2: I should also add that the phone is loading up and working fine, it just won't let me get into 'recovery'
What am I doing wrong here?
Can I still change ROMS?
Thanks!!!!!
What recovery were you using? Find its thread and reflash your recovery.
Support TrevE !
nothing's dead, your recovery just isn't working.
You need to install a recovery - either ClockworkMod's recovery (which is what I am assuming you're using) or TeamWin's, or an Amon-RA/clone.
Get that fixed, then go about your merry way flashing
What?? How did u nandroid if you can't flash a Rom... Just try power and vol up not down.. select bootloader hit power then.. select recovery power ..
In recovery wipe data wipe cache then restore nandroid backup
Are u rooted via unrevoked or revolutionary? In Rom manager choose flash cwm recovery then select manual reboot Into recovery

yes, I have run a ClockworkMod recovery through ROM Manager. I have also run a Nandroid backup through ClockworkMod recovery. I am worried that if I try to select that option, it will try to reboot through 'Recovery', but be unable to reach it. Then, I might be stuck in a loop.
So, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Rom Manager and QuickBoot, nothing changed. In 'Rom Manager', I have an option to 'Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery', which I haven't tried. I have tried Reboot into Recovery, which takes me into my 'fastboot' loop that I mentioned before.
So, from what you're telling me, what will happen if I select 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'? Will it just flash the recovery there? or will it start the recovery process, then try to reboot into recovery mode (which it can't get to) to finish the process?
Sorry for so many questions. Just would rather ask before I try it so as not to have a really pretty paperweight of a phone...
THANKS!!!

Sorry, this reply came in while I was answering the other questions....
When I ran the nandroid backup, I wasn't having any trouble getting into Recovery. This inability to get into recovery just started. I am rooted with unrevoked v2.
If I can't get into recovery, and I select 'Flash CWM recovery', is part of that process of flashing the recovery going to try to reboot into recovery, then not be able to get to recovery and get me locked into a loop? or will it just flash right there and then I'll be able to power down and get to recovery like normal?
So after reading the other comments, I guess what I need to know is, what happens when I select 'flash clockwork mod recovery'?
Does it just flash from within the program, while the phone is still turned on?
Or
Does it start the process, then attempt to boot into recovery to finish the process?
If it does the first option, then I might be ok to do it. If it does the second, then I'm worried that to complete the process, I might be stuck as it tries to get into recovery that's not available....
Any thoughts from someone who has done this? What happens when you flash CWM Recovery?
Thanks!

Download that file. Rename it PC36IMG.zip. place it on the root of your sd card. Power off your phone. Hold the power button and volume down at the same time. If your phone boots into fastboot select boot loader, otherwise it will boot into bootloader and begin the update. Your phone will prompt you to install the update. I believe it will say hit volume up for yes or volume down to no. This will reflash your recovery.img. After this happens you will have a recovery installed.
Great. Thanks! So, after I do that, then I will be able to either (1) boot into recovery, which I can't do now or (2) just boot the phone as I normally do until I flash the new rom?
thanks so much! I'm learning so much about this from you all.
flashing cwm from from manager won't reboot to recovery till you choose to but will install cwm recovery that app was built to help facilitate the recovery install with ease in mind don't worry

Hello All.
This is the first time I have tried to put a custom ROM on an HTC so I am still learning the ropes.
I tried to follow the instructions in the first post. So... In sequence, this is what I did...
HTC One X unlocked with htcdev.com (S-ON) or S-OFF (coming soon)
This seemed to go without a hitch. On the HBoot screen (I think that is what it is called) it tells me I am now unlocked.
ClockworkMod Recovery or 4EXT Touch Recovery (coming soon)
I installed the official version as per the instructions here.
The last instruction that seemed to work successfully was this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
Then I tried
Code:
fastboot reboot
which put me into recovery mode.
<EDIT> The instructions here have now been corrected to:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
</EDIT>
Choosing the reboot option from recovery just bounces me back into recovery mode but I understand from the instructions I should be able to boot into a working phone!
Has something gone wrong?
If I use the volume down + power button I can enter HBoot mode. From here I can select Fastboot. Connecting via USB to my computer seems to work fine, as I see Fastboot USB on my phone, and I when I execute this...
Code:
fastboot devices
I get something like this
Code:
List of devices attached
HTXXXXXXXXXX device
I am now unsure how to continue because I think something has gone wrong and I should have a working phone at this point.
Do I press ahead and try to install the Firmware package from here? Unless this lets me boot into a working phone (which I don’t believe it will), it still leaves me with the problem that for a One X, without a removable SD card I don’t know how to transfer and run the "Super Wipe" script, nor transfer and flash Android Revolution ROM via recovery.
Do I need to do something with
Code:
fastboot flash
?
Please help as she is threatening to dump me for destroying her 2-day-old phone.
It's
Code:
fastboot flash [B]recovery[/B] recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
not boot..
Solution for you is to go into bootloader, flash recovery with the command i gave you and then reboot into recovery and install the rom..
After that everything should be ok and your phone will boot into ARHD without any problem.
delete please

It looks like the instructions I followed previously had an error then.
<EDIT> The instructions were incorrect, but have now been corrected </EDIT>
I will follow your instructions. But what about the RUU that is mentioned in the instructions? It is not clear how or when I should flash it. Presumably I flash the RUU before I do the ARHD flash... ???

You don't need to flash any RUU or firmware unless your phone wasn't shipped with 1.26, which i don't think it was.
Just try flashing the recovery with the correct command and then the rom. If your phone doesn't boot after that then you may try the firmware but i'm sure you won't need it.

So, I understand that you are telling me:
Flashing CWM recovery will rectify my current problem and restore my phone to a workable state.
Booted normally, I can copy the ARHD ROM to the internal SD (not sure what the location for this will be).
I then reboot into recovery and 'Install Zip from SD card'.

Good advice, I am sure. However my problem now is getting into a working phone so that I can transfer the ROM onto the internal SD.
Can't wait to get home and try it!
what you have done is replaced your boot sector with a recovery image, that is the reason why you cant boot your phone as normal so even flashing the recovery correctly will not allow your phone to boot up.
as your phone cannot boot up you cannot transfer any files to the internal memory of your phone in order to flash ARHD
at present there is a problem with the official version of ClockworkMod Recovery so i personally would reccommend using the interim version HERE
and flash with fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-endeavoru.img
As you have [email protected]$ked your boot partition up you will also want to download THIS
this is an insecure boot image (thanks to paul from modaco) I have just extracted the part you will need from his package
with this you will need to be in fastboot again and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
obviously you will need to copy both of the files to the same directory as fastboot is on your PC in order to send them
by flashing the boot section with the insecure boot here it will allow your phone to boot up normally again, once it has booted normally you can then copy the ARHD and superwipe to your internal SD card
to access recovery
power off phone by holding power button for 10seconds
power on with power+voldown
select recovery from hboot screen with voldown then power to select
your phone will reboot and then you will be in recovery
do a nandroid backup incase anything goes wrong
then flash the superwipe script
then flash ARHD 1.2.2
all is good

You are correct of course, however, there comes a point where the only way to learn is to actually do something. I have flashed numerous ROMS on my Galaxy S, and before doing this I have read numerous guides trying to better understand the procedures for HTC devices.
I have tried to follow what appeared to be a step-by-step guide, however, either there has been a malfunction, or it appears there may be two important bits of information missing from that guide:
Flashing CWM recovery leaves the phone in a state that it won't boot normally, and consequently...
The ARHD ROM should be loaded onto the internal SD at the very beginning of the procedure

@bagofcrap24 I may have misled you with a typo in the first post. (See my edit)
d'oh
edit : just read updated info
so what happens when you choose recovery and press power from the hboot screen
i'm understanding that when doing a normal reboot it just sends you straight into hboot?
power on with voldown
press voldown to select recovery
press power to select recovery
you should either see CWM or the stock recovery
again looking at what you have written, if you just do a normal reboot and its putting you straight into recovery then you probably have flashed recovery onto the boot partition

I get a circular yellow 'recycling' symbol, followed a few seconds later by a magenta triangle with an exclamation mark. (Is this the stock recovery?). Then the phone restarts and I end up back in the Clockworkmod recovery.

No. A normal reboot (without holding the Vol down key) sends me straight to clockworkmod recovery.
I can get to HBoot with Vol down+Power on startup.

Right this means you did mess up the boot and recovery partitions, the one where you have the exclamation mark is the stock recovery which means you didn't flash cwm to the recovery partition.
the fact that you get to recovery on a normal boot also suggests as I suspected that you have flashed recovery on to the boot partition, follow the instructions I put up earlier about flashing the boot.IMG and redo the recovery.IMG and you should be fine

Your analysis is quite correct. All is indeed good! Thanks very much. The boot image worked as described. I will now transfer Superwipe and the ROM.
Make sure you do a nandroid backup first, it was lucky this time but if you mess up your system partition you may find yourself with no way of putting files on without unrooting and restoring the ruu

In fastboot menu i cant start "reboot , reboot bootloader or power of" . Sometimes it works but generally not.
sometimes freezing on hboot menu.
Last night I flashed ARHD 7.2.2. recovery menu work and I enter to rom. I charged %100 battery. Then I power off phone now ı stuck on hc screen.
Same problem when return to stock rom. Stuck on htc screen
And "erase cache" not to fix
All of these troubles coming from hboot menu problem or some other thing. But i flash hundred times right stock boot.img or arhd boot.img

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

Since you are able to start fastboot and connect to the EVO 4G using adb, I recommend you download a SmelkusMOD Recovery image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543 and follow these directions to flash the boot image:
1) Copy the image file you have downloaded to the adb folder on your computer.
2) Rename the image file you have downloaded to recovery.img.
3) Enter fastboot on your phone.
4) Open a command prompt in the adb folder on your computer.
5) Enter the following at the adb command prompt on your computer.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
6) Wait for the image flash to be completed before selecting Recovery on your phone and pressing the power button.
Be sure you download the recovery file with the .img extension rather than trying to install the zip file. This will install SmelkusMOD Recovery 4.3 on your phone and allow you to reflash your phone's ROM.
i forgot to mention i did try using adb to flash the recovery but i tried your method that you posted and still no luck. Tried flashing 3-4 different times and still get boot loop or screen turns black and vibrates 5 times...btw each time the recovery flashes fine with adb and says finished and then i reboot the bootloader and or pull battery and try to launch recovery and goes back to bootloop. I also tried 3 different versions of the recovery image, i tried tmdirt2, reloaded2, and ics smelkus recovery.img files. Am i trying the wrong image and thats why im still having recovery issues?
The different versions of SmelkusMOD 4.3 just contain different themes. I use recovery-ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-aokp.img, but any other version should work the same with a slightly different appearance. Are you getting to the bootloader screen when you simultaneously press and hold the volume down and power buttons, but seeing the phone reboot when you select Recovery and press then release the power button?

yes i can get into bootloader just fine and adb commands will work on fastboot, but when it comes to going into recovery it will just not do it, think ive tried flashing every recovery available for the evo 4g and flashing with bootloader and pushing with adb and still no luck just boot loop...
hardware failure???
The only thing left to try is RUU to try to get the phone back to booting the stock ROM.
just tried RUU exe on the evo and completed fine, but didnt fix it...still boot loop guess my evo is a paper weight
