What am I doing wrong? Loading baconbits.

So I perm rooted and it says S-Off in fastboot and I have superuser access I believe.
I got rom manager and downloaded clockwork through rm. I try to install rom from SD card, select the baconbits rom, it asks to backup or clear, I have tried both.
The phone boots to htc screen, then shows a black screen with a phone and a red symbol over it. I waited 20 minutes on that screen and nothing happened.
I was able to push vol up and power to get a console but I can't load anything there. It will reboot just fine after that but I have no changes and still cannot overclock.
Does this have something to do with the user keys or whatever?
Thanks in advance for reading this and any help that gets offered. I hate to have my first post on a forum being a "help me" post.

Go into Rom Manager and try to flash Clockwork recovery again. This has happened to a lot of people... Flash it a second time, and it should be good.

Did you download the "g2-recovery-test-keys.img" from the 3rd post quoted below?
Place that file in the C:/android/tools or whatever your cd line is, which should in the tools folder. Now go the 6th step. FYI the sixth step I tried from fastboot and recovery, none worked until I reinstalled the drivers my computer kept prompting me for and immedatly got the OKAY's from the 7th step.
Edit: The code "fastboot flash recovery g2-recovery-test-keys.img" should be copied pasted onto your cmd.

Noob walkthrough:
1.Setup Android SDK and install drivers/udev rules as needed
2. S-Off your g2 http://goo.gl/Sc134
4. Copy vision-baconbits-0.3.zip to your sdcard, rename it update.zip (you can do this via adb using: adb push vision-baconbits-0.3.zip /sdcard/update.zip)
5. Reboot to fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader)
6. Flash the recovery http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/vision/g2-recovery-test-keys.img : fastboot flash recovery g2-recovery-test-keys.img (if you get 'waiting for device' your phone either isnt in fastboot mode, or you will need to fix your sdk drivers)
7. You should get two 'OKAY's once recovery flash is complete
8. Press the power button once; then the vol down button to highlight 'recovery'; then the power button again to select the 'recovery' option
9. The phone will reboot to recovery
10. Press volume up+power to show the recovery menu
11. Select the 'Apply:update.zip' option, using volume keys to navigate, and power button as [enter]
12. Once the zip applies, reboot
If you get signature verification errors on the zip, it means your fastboot flash of recovery failed to apply, redo it

Bingo, That worked. Glad it was that simple. I actually had to flash clockwork a third time to get it to go all the way.

[Q] [PROBLEM] htc desire recovery - volume keys not working

Hi!
I recently rooted my Desire with unrevoked 3 and I installed the ReflexS rom. Everything worked perfectly!
I was curious for Cyanogenmod and I downloaded version 7.0.3 directly through Rom Manager. When the download was completed it suggested to install which I agreed. I think clear Dalvik cache was marked, but clear data cache was not. I agreed... maybe my first mistake.
After this Cyanogenmod was installed, but my Desire stayed on the boot screen (sakteboarding android with running arrow) for over 30min so I took out the battery. I restarted and it goes well until the android setup screen "tap the android to begin". I can tap and it gets glowing, but it does not continue! I can not go any further than this. The only thing I can do is choose a language or shutdown.
To overcome this issue I thought of recovering/reinstalling my previous ROM. I also have a Titanium backup.
Now here's the problem: when start up into recovery, my volume buttons won't work so I can not enter into the recovery menu.
What should I do?
I'm getting desperate, because my phone is down at the moment!
Thanks for your help!

you mean volume buttons dont work in recovery or in bootloader ?
in recovery you can navigate using trackpad, in bootloader you must wait around 10-15 seconds until you can use volume buttons to navigate.
and yes it was a BIG mistake not to make a wipe before the flashing of cyanogenmod....
you should have done a full wipe

Ok will firstly, go to the Cyanogenmod stable topic to read how to install out. Secondly, avoid rom manager. Thirdly, to boot into recovery, boot your phone like normal and plug your phone into your pc. After about 20 second the usb will kick in. This is where you use the adb reboot recovery command in command prompt or terminal. Enjoy.

You can alwys get into recovery through the adb shell.

Hi.
I know this tread is old but the issue is relevant because this is still a persistant problem.First of all thanks for the tip and second i have great,great news !!! you dont even have to deassemble the phone to put the up down button to work.Just insert the alcool UNDER the volume button with a seringe with a needle and click the button for a minute or two...wait until the alcool evaporates and VOILÁ !! problem fixem !! Not need todeassemble or using adb.Just do this and you will be fine.

how to install cm7 hboot?

Hi guys...
i want to install the CM7 hboot on my desire, and i boot my desire in fastboot mode (voldown + power and select fastboot) and then i plug it in the computer
then i have tried to use both android flasher and fastboot commander but both of em can't contact my phone.... fastboot commander cant retrieve device info or anything...
what am i doing wrong?
i have used the alpharev method to S-off...

Root + S-OFF using Revolutionary. Then, boot into HBOOT (remove the battery, re-insert it, hold Volume Down + Power until you get a white screen). The volume rockers will probably do nothing now, as it has to check for a ZIP file first. After about 15 seconds, you should be able to browse in the menu. Select 'Fastboot' with the volume rockers, and press Power. Connect it to your PC, and use the tools you mentioned to flash a custom HBOOT.
After flashing a custom HBOOT, you'll also have to reinstall your ROM! Perhaps you also have to reinstall your recovery, but I'm not sure about that.

Before you start, boot recovery and backup your ROM!
Lets use cmd. You'll need fastboot.exe, for simplicity - put it in your c:\ (if you don't have it, download & unzip my attachment into c:\)
Download the cm7 hboot from alpharev (and check md5!!!!! - also attached md5 checker) and put it in c:\
open cmd (start menu, accessories) and type:
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem gencheckpt [COLOR="Red"](optional: this just boots you into recovery)[/COLOR]
You're more than likely to get a bootloop from your current ROM if you don't re-flash it.

thanks for the good description.... actually it was my drivers that was wrong... i checked in device manager and tried to update driver and it found the right driver then...
actually i found it almost easier to use CMD than thoose programs

Yeah CMD is pretty easy, specially if you know the right commands etc. if you look at some guides you'll get the hang of it pretty fast (it's pretty simple really), there's also less to go wrong so it's safer (especially when flashing radio :O) since cmd is less prone to crashing than other programs (not that I've had a crash before.. just saying)
and I could've made it simpler.. you're just not a spanktard that doesn't get anything and you actually understand things lol so well done on that

cm7/r2
Hi, I would like to have in my desire cm7/r2 but I have a problem instal it.
Now I'm already S-OFF used Revolutionary, unrevoked, in this time NO ROOT, because I updated to offic. A2.3.3. I have: HBOOT-6.93.1002, RADIO-5.1105.27.
I would like to try install cm7/r2 hboot because I have a problem install Aurora ROM. I can't boot into the system after installation. Can anyone help me and write step by step guide? I tried cmd and fastboot but it's not working for me.
I have had installed few custom ROMs from XDA, but I'm still newbie so please be patient with me

[Q] Black Screen

On my HTC One V I unlock bootloader and rooted it successfully. It was working fine, but about 1-2 weeks later, when I was chatting with my friends on Messenger, it was starting to lag like hell until i couldn't do antyhing. I tried to turn it off and on with the power button. When I turned it on, firstly the logo "Quietly Brilliant" appeared and then...there was just a black screen. The phone was still turned on, but just with a black screen.. a slightly lighter black screen. I tried to turn it on and of. I can go to fast boot mode with Volume down+power button. I tried factory reset, but there was still the black screen. I send it to the manufacture, but they said, that the hardware is destroyed, because I've changed it. I think they mean I changed it with root and unlocking the bootloader...but I think that's not true? I don't think root or unlocking bootloader can change hardware. Yet I tried to unroot and relock the bootloader, but I can't do It if I can't connect my phone to my pc anymore. So my questions are:
1)How could I change the hardware?
2)How can I connect my phone to pc?
3)Is there a way to save my phone?
4)How does the manufacture know, that my phone is rooted when it can't be turned on, or connected to pc
5)Do they just lie about the hardware, so I must pay for it?

first of all, are you gsm or cdma? (do you have a sim?) If you can access bootloader, then you can fix your phone (99,9% of times). all you need to do is flash another rom with the correct kernel

Yes, I have s sim..so I have gsm i think? Right now, the manufacture is sending me back my phone. What is the bootloader exactly? Do you mean the combination of the keys volume down+power button?
If yes and I can acces to bootloader, how can I flash the rom with the correct kernel? Does it mean, my phone will be back to normal like it was at the start?
If I can't acces to bootloader, is there still a way to repair my phone?
btw I can't connect my phone to my pc...at least It didn't worked.

Don't worry, when you get back your phone tell me. If you can access your bootloader we will get your phone back to normal :thumbup:

first thing, when you get your phone back access the bootloader, hit fastboot and connect the phone to the pc (then after some seconds try vol up or down), it should say fastboot usb. tell me if it does (write it here)

When It's turned off, I hold the volume down button and power button together for 10 seconds. Then I let it go, but there's no bootloader mode. Before I sended it to the manufacture, I somehow did it, but I don't remember how.

Hey sorry I have to go to school now.. I'll write a little guide as soon as I come back, be patient. In order you have to unlock and root (if you haven't done it already), flash a recovery (I suggest twrp recovery, you can find it in android development or original android development-This also only if you don't have that already), factory reset from recovery, mount usb storage, copy rom to your phone, unmount, flash the rom, reboot into bootloader and flash the correct kernel found in the rom thread. This should work. I'll give you a hit when I get back tough.

Its bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted. Now for the recovery i found this:
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/119
They say I should download the newest recovery img, access bootloader, select fastboot, plug the device into computer and run the command:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img into command prompt right?

Yes its right. Then you boot into recovery, and mount usb storage and with the pc copy a rom into the sd card, then unmount, from the recovery go to wipe - > factory reset, once it's done go to install and select the zip of the rom. When it's done, go back to the home page of recovery, and from there press reboot bootloader. Now do fastboot, and from the pc, put kernel in fastboot folder (the same place where you put your recovery to flash it), open cmd and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, wait for it to complete, reboot and enjoy!

Rooting build number NDE63V

Can you root using Boot-to-Root with build version NDE63V? I tried and was stuck in a permanent boot. If not do I need to flash an old factory image first? Thanks in advance

What command did you use in fastboot? Was it fastboot flash boot-to-root? Or fastboot boot boot-to-root?

Never use fastboot flash boot-to-root.img as you will bootloop.
ALWAYS use fastboot boot boot-to-root.img to root. Make sure you have downloaded the correct img from Chainfire's post.

It will take a few minutes vs the normal time.
You may be screwed up, however, and will have to follow the adb sideload procedure (THIS WILL NOT ERASE DATA) to right yourself before trying to root again:
Please reboot to the bootloader (Hold Power and Volume Down while powering on the phone)
Use the volume keys and choose recovery
At the No Command screen hold power and while holding power press and hold volume up for about 5 seconds, let go of volume up and power and it should take you to recovery.
At the top it will give you the Build number Example: NDE63X
Go https://developers.google.com/android/ota and download the OTA that matches your build number
Copy the zip file to the same folder ADB is in
Choose Update from ADB in recovery
Open command prompt on your pc
enter
adb sideload name_of_ota.zip
Replace name_of_ota with the correct file name.
And make sure your ADB is up to date with the Android SDK Manager!
