Blackscreen slcd recovery

Hello everybody,
I just rooted a desire with slcd with one click i put in amonra recovery. Everything went fine. Till i want to go in recovery. I get a black screen but i'm sure there is the recovery. When i do some things with the trackball and i went back en move a couple a times up and press the trackball the foon reboots but then it is stuck and i think it is because of a bad ROM install.
What to do? My uncle will kill me.
How do i get the recovery to see?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

youve rooted it and put on a recovery for pre-slcd device.
theres a fix somewhere deep in here. can you boot into the os and see the screen or is that blank aswell?
also this should be in a different section

I can not boot into the ROM and i just did the unrekoved
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

unrevoked 3.21? or an earlier version?
try booting and leaving it for a bit. if all is well and its just a dead screen then it will be booted, you just cant see as the screen is dead, check device manager in windows and see if it shows adroid device (adb or my htc) in the list
run unrevoked 3.21 again and let it flash clockworkmod and not amonRA

Can u see the device ok adb??

Moved to Q&A as not development.

Yes the device works in adb. When i run top i can see whats happening.

If you are able to get into bootloader unroot the phone and it will be solved. The best and easy way is via bootloader, just download a stock froyo zip put it into the root of your sd card and go into bootloader, no need of getting into recovery

Getting this error when puting in a PB99IMG
checking: PB99DIAG.zip
no image
checking: PB99DIAG.nbh
no image or wrong image
checking: PB99IMG.zip.
This takes a while and then
Main version is older!

you can only run fastboot img for recovery when you have s-off.
please boot normally and leave it for 5 mins to make sure its loaded( you wont be able to tell cos of black screen)
connect device and when connected run unrevoked 3.21 and allow it to flash clockworkmod recovery

root droid incredible 2 locked up after update

I have rooted my droid incredible 2 about 3 months ago and not thinking I let it do a software update today, now it powers up for about 2 minutes
Then it shuts down. When it powers up again it shows a trash can being emptied then shows a explanation mark in a triangle and does nothing. Any help would be great.

I think your custom recovery was erased. Are you alpha revved s-off? You probably have to flash clockwork recovery again

I'm sorry what do you mean alpha revved off, how would I check that?

Can you go into more detail about

-boot whatever you flashed

Lets slow down before you try flashing or wiping anything so you don't do more damage. You said that you rooted your phone 2-3 months ago. Which method did you use to root your phone?
Also are you able to get into recovery using steps 1-4 in joefrog1996's post?

I believe it was called revolutionary and yes I can go to the reboot screen 1-4

Do you have any ROMS, on your SD card? Have you flashed an alternate recovery? Are you S-off?
I have S-off, and I'm rooted. This happened to me while running bonestock 5.XXXX.
If you still don't know what I'm talking about you may not have hacked your phone enough. (S-off, Rooted, clockwork recovery) I think that's all I've done

You just need to flash a new recovery again via fastboot. Do you have adb installed on your computer. You should still have it since you ran revolutionary. After flashing a new recovery just flash a new ROM.
Your CWM recovery needs to be in the same folder as fastboot.exe
open cmd as administrator
Code:
adb remount
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery***.img
Then you can flash a new rom

i'm not to sure how to do that.

First of all, i need to know if you have adb installed. yes or no. We can't proceed without it.

okay
unzip the attached file to your root drive C:\
It will be called c:\win just like mine.
open cmd as administrator
cd c:\win
and follow my commands from my other post.

When i run adb.exe i get unable to locate component - thr application has failed to start because abwinap.dll was not found.
i sorry im probley making this to harder then it should be.

when i run revolutionary it tells me your device:/sbin/sh: getprop:not,with hboot/sbin/sh:getprop: not is not supported at this time. press (almost) any to exit

Alight, turn off your router- remove your sim - boot - turn airplane mode- turn on router- download rom (anything from xda)- download rom manager- click flash clockwork recovery - turn phone off - go to recovery- factory reset - then flash the rom you downloaded to your SD card....
Let me know if you have issues

when i boot i have just enough time to get to airplane mode before it shuts down, with or with out the sim in it.

Removing the sim is just to stop the update, airplane mode is just to make sure they phone dosnt check for updates.
Are you S-off, in hboot it will say s-on or s-off
And are you sure you are rooted?
You didn't HTC dev unlock it did you?

Did you try reflashing the recovery?

That's what I would have asked, too.
Look here for files (search, where it says "6: Custom Recoveries"). I've always done it by following method: "3) Via PC49IMG.zip Process (Needs S-OFF) - Download anyone of the PC49IMG ZIP file of the recovery you wish to install, place on your SDcard, and reboot into HBoot Mode ..."

' Well, when I've run ruu's on my phone. It never touched the bootloader because it was newer than the one in the ruu. So after that I just flashed cwm and a superuser zip and carried on as normal
EDIT: Also, can you get into recovery through hboot?

right. But as a hint: if you do it with method 3) and you want to go into recovery with Fastboot after flashing a new one - you have to get the PC49IMG.zip out of the SDCARD's root first (e.g. connect to USB or put the card into a card reader to remove it)

I flashed the shipped ROM and I am glad that it didn't remove S-OFF. After that I rooted my device using SuperOneClick. Thinking of staying with this ROM for a while before reflashing ClockWorkMod. Thanks a lot guys for your help.

How to restore Nandroid backup?

The kicker is, i lost root on my phone... no Recovery.. i can get into HBoot...
My phone is always stuck on reboot loop.. theres a few odd times where it makes it into OS but then reboots again.
So I was going to my old files and noticed that I still have my Nandroid backup, so if i put this back onto my phone, will it be saved?
I cant even get it too root without the phone rebooting..

What root method did you use? What hboot do you have? Are you still s-off? What were you running prior to this happening like rom ect ? Have you tried a RUU yet? This type of information can help people try to figure out how to fix it

Since revolutionary only requires the phone to be in fastboot to s-off it. Plug your phone into your computer install the required drivers and run revolutionary program it should read your device and precede from there by typing your beta key from the website and installing a recovery from the revolutionary program. Then wipe and flash a custom rom

If you can get into fastboot in the bootloader you might be able to s-off with revolutionary. Just have to hope the program can find the device in fastboot first. Have you tried running the RUU again?

since the phone was stuck in the boot loop, i kinda left it alone for few months.. i dugged it back out and remember about this issue...
So does the phone need to boot all the way into the OS for s-off to work or it might work in hboot?
i can get into hboot no problem...

Do I need to install the Android SDK

I think you do, I believe most root methods use a combination of adb and fastboot. After you install it, make sure you're running the root method from the same directory as adb.exe and fastboot.exe are in (should be platform-tools).

i have places the adb.exe and fastboot.exe in the same directory as revolutionary but it still waiting for device...

Can you access your sdcard? Because if you can download a recovery and rename it PC36100.ZIP and put it on the root of your sdcard. When you go to your bootloader just go into the menu with the recovery option (Cant remeber atm) and it should come up asking you if you want to update the file. Press whatever button it asks you to press then you should get recovery

[Q] G2 stuck in a boot loop please help..

Not sure what to do here...
I rooted this G2 earlier this evening and decided I wanted Cyanogenmod 7 as the rom.
I flashed Clockworkmod and installed the rom and then gapps directly after without rebooting, I'm not sure if that screwed it up. Anyway, now I'm in a boot loop.
I held volume down and power and can get in to that screen but it won't seem to let me select fastboot. I just noticed earlier when I plug it in with the power off it will open up Clockworkmod Recovery but after a few seconds the screen goes dark and whatever process began, stops.
When I do open it up with volume down + power it automatically starts up hboot after a few seconds and examines the froyo rom (PC10IMG) I still have on my SD card (at least I assume that's the one it's looking at) and it says the "main version is older / Update fail"
Also on the recovery screen (volume down + Power) it previous said s-off and now it's back to s-on. I think I can get access to adb btw.
I looked through the threads but I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer so I apologize in advance if I didn't scour them as well as I should have. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Sounds like you let your pc10img.zip run again, what method did you use to root? Write down everything on your bootloader screen

I used the adb method. I downgraded from GB to Froyo and then used the adb commands here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834228) to perm root. I had a stable root after that was all said and done it just went in to the boot loop after I installed Cyanogenmod and the Gapps.
After the boot loop began it DID re-run the pc10img.zip Or well, I should say, I, re-ran it
I downloaded the RUU but I didn't attempt it because I figured I've already gotten myself in enough trouble as it is.

stuck in boot loop
Oh yeah, here's exactly what the bootloader screen says.
It fires up and gives the normal options although it won't scroll down to any of them besides Hboot and it auto selects Hboot.

Yeah you are in tough place right now, never heared of the bootloader you have and the method you used to root can be dangerous, hopefull we can still use clockwork. Remove the pc10img.zip from sdcard and try to boot to hboot and then choose recovery, see if it lets you flash a rom

I removed the pc10img.zip from the SD card and NOW the bootloader allows me to actually make selections. I chose recovery and it went right in to Clockworkmod.
I tried to reflash Cyanogenmod 7 and it seemed to work but it is still in the boot loop. I think the reason it didn't go through correctly was because my phone is now s-on? when I originally rooted it and attempted to flash it, it was s-off. I am beginning to understand the scope of the problem here.
Would it be possible to download a t-mobile stock recovery rom image and flash that with clockworkmod? never tried that before.
Or, should I use the RUU, hope it works and start from scratch?
Or some other option that's beyond me.
Thanks for your help! This isn't my main phone and I was merely rooting it as a backup/experimental phone. I'd rather not have a paper weight but we shall see I guess. Thanks again!
I rooted my other G2 with the described method and it worked like a charm but for future reference is there any safer method available?

See the xda wiki for the proper root method, at this point you should try and flash an ruu through fastboot and start from scratch with the downgrade and root via gfree (xda wiki)

So just so I have it straight - root the phone first and then try and flash a stock rom through fast boot? Not sure if that's possible because I'm not sure if I have access to usb debug but I'll check and get back.
I downloaded the RUU from the htc website. Should I just follow the instructions included with that program?
Thanks for the advice!

Start with ruu, if it lets you return to stock great, then move on to the xda wiki, here it will link you to downgrade instructions and then go back to wiki to root and soff via gfree
