T-Mobile G2 (HTC DZ) CM7, CWM (Blue), cannot boot into recovery. - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Title says it all. I can't boot into recovery. I can't do it from the rom, I can't do it from the bootloader. It seems like it's borked for some reason. I booted into recover 5 days ago to flash back to CM7 from an ICS rom.
As of now, it just hangs on the initial splash screen. Been hanging 45 minutes so far and no sign of stopping.

Try flashing recovery again ?

Random Reboot. Help

I charge my phone overnight everynight. There are times when i wake up in the morning my phone is just stuck on the splash screen. What could be the problem?
-I'm Running on CM6.1.1
-I have a customize splash screen and boot animation
-I used unrevoked root and unrevoked s-off
-I noticed that the random reboot happened when wifi is on (noticed this twice, not sure about the other times)
-And this started to happen (from what i remember) when i tried to flash something over my recovery (toast or something like that, i can't remember i was just following a tutorial for me to able to put a new splash screen. It was for fast reboot to work) then i got stuck on a loop in bootloader. Then i flashed CM6.1.1 to get an image.
Help please?
A clean flash of cm 6.1.2 should not give you any issues. Are you using a custom kernel?

Random reboots are usually always caused by a custom kernel that your phone does not like.. I could be wrong but that is my experience anyway...
i had the same exact thing except i actually had 6.1.2 clean with no custom stuff. the only thing custom would be the galaxy s theme i put on it.
i would be trying to go to sleep and i would feel my phone vibrate and then i noticed its rebooting, the rebooting is pretty frequent.
i wiped and restored my original backup and installed all the new stuff (radio/wimax/etc.., except hboot)
right now im gonna install a clean 6.1.2 and see how it goes
No custom kernel. Maybe i just need to manually flash cm6 so i can wipe data 3 or 4 times. I kinda don't trust the rom manager and clockwork work recovery method i feel like it doesnt really wipe everything clean before installing.

How do you un-install a custom ROM
I installed a custom ROM and now (a month or two later) I'm getting reboot after reboot. How do I get rid of the custom ROM?
Also, what does it mean when the phone reboots, then vibrates 5 times and locks up?
To get rid of the custom rom just do wipe through recovery...
And the the locking up? I have no clue why that is... sorry

Custom splashscreen has slowed down boot proces?

Hello.
After i updated the splashscreen (splash1) of my desire after s-off by alpharev and after flashing the oxygen boot table, my desire has become very slow in booting.
Via youtube a non-rooted desire typically takes 40 seconds to boot.
In my case the costum splash screen i have flashed(via fastboot) just stays on for ~1,7minutes before entereing the OS.
Also I think that its strange that i dont longer have a boot animation, and that the splash screen is on for so long time.
I use oxygen 2.0.1 but that shouldn't really matter, and I use clocworkmod 2.5.1.7-alpharev version.
Yes, I have the same problem. After I s-offed, I flashed another splash screen and installed the Leedroid rom. The desire stays on the splash screen for a about 1.5 MINUETS at the splash screen and another 30 seconds for the boot animation.
After that I had flashed my Hboot to CM7r2 and flash Reflex gingerbread rom, the problem still exist. Besides that, I have tried both Clockwork and RA recovery, still, takes me TWO minutes to boot up
So, it should not relates to HBOOT, ROM nor recovery..... really confusing...

[Q] weird brick-like situation?

hi!
a friend of mine brought his wfs (gsm) to me that i've unlocked and flashed custom rom before. it froze during the day when the phone was idle and when he tried restarting it was stuck on the white htc splash screen. nothing has been tampered with so i tried the following:
*trying to boot into recovery(which it had cwm and running without problems before): still stuck on white htc splash screen after selecting recovery option.
*trying to re-flash recovery-boot-system (different kinds, custom, stock) from hboot, successfully flashes, doesn't boot
*at last resort, i relocked the bootloader, created a goldcard and flashed "RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed.exe" which successfully flashed, updated hboot, radio and flashed stock everything.
it finally booted into stock after 15 mins of splash screen. but when it gets to the locksreen, it doesn't respond to the touchscreen or the hardware buttons, the screen sleeps after some time, but hardware button lights stay on, and there's nothing i can do except for removing the battery.
i can't use adb logcat at this point since the debugging isn't enabled on the fresh rom.
after removing the battery and trying to reboot, it's stuck on htc splash again, i have to boot into fastboot, do a factory reset, wait another 15 mins to boot into the fresh rom to get stuck again.
my educated guess is that the nand is worn out.
any suggestions or questions about diagnosing what we might have?
thanks in advance!
up
anyone?
Did you try to reflash recovery?

i've reflashed cwm, didn't work. flashed stock recovery, but booting to stock recovery also took like 2-3 mins, more than it should have. flashed cwm again, doesn't boot into it, stays at white htc splash.
Well most of the methods that i know involve recovery, so you are pretty much screwed...

HTC DNA Endless HTC Screen Reboot

I successfully rooted my HTC DNA and had just finished making a backup. I went to flash Super Charged Hatka 2.1.0 320DPI Version and
everything went fine until it completed the install and it said it was unsuccessful. I went to reboot and now it just endlessly reboots the HTC logo.
Trying to go into recovery loads the clockwork symbol for half a second and then it goes back to rebooting. Anyone have an idea how I can get
back into recovery?

Very long boot time

i have a problem with my htc one m8. I had Revolution rom running, without any problems.
Then i flashed insertcoin but it was not booting, but got stuck on white boot screen.
So i flashed stock recovery and stock rom, and it does boot now, but it takes over 5 minutes loading on the white boot screen before it starts.
I did s-off now, and flashed again flashed insertcoin rom.
This time, it does boot finally , but also after a very long time showing the boot screen.
What could this be?

Hey!
In my experience this is usually down to the firmware on your phone not being the same as the base of the ROM.
For example when I tried to load ViperONE M8 it had long boot times. This was because I hand 4.4.2 while the ROM was based on 4.4.3
Please check this and see.

You flashed a 4.4.3 ROM when your firmware is still on 1.54 base which is for 4.4.2 ROMs. Since you got s-off check the guides on how to upgrade firmware and you will be good to go.
This has been discussed in 2 other threads today alone, along with a link to the solution.

plus, I've read about 50 posts from folks freaking out about this same issue over the last few days..
you gotta read and learn what you are doing BEFORE you go flashing stuff on your 700 dollar "toy"
