Impossible to access Recovery mode

I have an HTC Desire machine but now it is impossible to access Recovery mode
Hack Root is just one step out - can not complete step 2
I need the German version 1.15.405.3 Rom ship- Radio 4.05.00.11
Who can help me
I thank very much

Try this instead of Step2.bat it should work!

sory , i can't go "When you want to launch the recovery image
* Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'"
screen

Are you german ? Should be easier to help
In this Screenshot your Phone is started...?
Put your phone off and start it while holding the back button!
-Select with Power Button the Bootloader Option
-Wait a few seconds and select with volume down the recovery option
-Wait again then when there is a red triangle u should press volume up + power button.
-Then u can select with volume down and the power button "Apply update.zip from sdcard"
-Now the Recovery Console should launch (If u have the update.zip on the root of your sdcard)
Hope i help you!

Thanks but I can not access any of what mode.

[help] HTC Desire Can't Enter Recovery Mode and Clockworkmod

Hi guys, i am a newbie here.
Last night i was trying to root my desire using unrevoked. I followed the guide from XDA step by step and everything seemed fine until word "done" appear in unrevoked.
After that, desire supposed to enter recovery mode and clockworkdmod but there was nothing appear in the screen. My desire suddenly shut down.
Can you tell me what am i suppose to do then because i want to put custom rom in my desire and now there's nothing i can do because it can't enter recovery mode (it only able to enter bootloader or Android OS itself).
Thanks

when you are in boot loader, use the volume down key and goto recovery and git power button. you should then be taken to clockwork recovery. this is where you can select your rom from SD card and flash

I've tried to do that and now it stuck in HTC Logo. Doest it mean i've to try unrevoked again or simply unroot it?

try rebooting by taking battery off. i'm not an expert but you might have to do it manually using the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
did you install the unrevoked drivers?

Okay i will try. Btw, in case i want to unroot, can you tell me where i can get "RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179" ? The link from XDA seems down and i can download any.

Me and another member have encountered the same issue, seems there's some bug in HBOOT or something.
Boot into Android, go to Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset. Once you confirm it, it will reboot your phone into Recovery.
BUT, unless you re-format (partition) your SD Card, you won't be able to get back in again (unless you do the Factory data reset again).
This seems to happen randomly. Right now I can get into Recovery just fine. But once the bug occurs, the only way to get it to stop is to format your SD card.

Now i am thinking to unroot it than trying to do the whole rooting step all over again. Can you tell me where i can get the RUU for HTC Desire Asia

Okay, i've done unrooting with HTC Desire RUU Asi and what happen now my SLCD is brick. I am really hopeless right now because guide for "SLCD Brick" doesn't even work in my phone because once again my htc can't enter recovery mode ><
"I am trying to use the guide from sprinker right now. Hopefully it will work"

when you are in hboot the volume down/up button work?

Hi all,
I also have the problem that I can no longer enter the recovery mode on my desire.
Basically, whenever I am in the bootloader menu (either by pressing vol-down+power, return+power, or via ROMManager) and then select "recovery" I get right back to the "fastboot" screen.
I tried uninstalling/installing/upgrading ROMManager and also tried flashing clockwork via the newest version of Unrevoked (downloaded yesterday).
Nothing helps :-(
What I didn't try, yet, is reformatting my SDCard or resetting my device via "Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset". (I don't want to install all my apps >again<; I'm also a bit afraid that I break something an then cannot even reflash using recovery).
Here is some more info about my device:
- Flashed rom: Leedroid 2.1a
- HBOOT 0.83.0001
- RADIO 5.10.05.23
I would be really greatful if anyone had a solution for this problem.
P.s.: in case I HAVE to reset/format: can I somehow make a backup of all my apps&settings?

Hi all, I have the same problem now.
Everything works, after s-off, except I can no longer enter Recovery - any solution?

I didn't find an easy solution. I had to do the following (some steps might be optional but I wanted to be sure):
- Formated SD card (ext3 and fat partition)
- Complete reset via RUU (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe)
- Using unrevoked to reinstall recovery rom
- Reinstalled my custom rom (Leedroid)
Now everything works.
BTW: via TitaniumBackup I could backup all my apps and data quite easily. Didn't expect it to work that well

thanks- what about s-off - is it working now for you?

"s-off" = ?

I Have a similar problem... I can't enter recovery. When i press "recovery mode", I just get a black screen with a phone and a "!" in it.
Have to pull battery to reboot desire.
I have formatted sd.
Quite annoying, cause I need to wipe my battery stats, and I don't know any other way to do it, than going to recovery.

I tried to update ROM to Cyanogenrom which was unsuccessful - just get boot loop.
I also get the same 'red triangle with exclamation mark on phone' icon when trying to go to recovery mode.
So now I have a Desire which boot loops and cant enter recovery mode ...
anyone know how to get out of this one?

This might work for you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
This should bring back your phone to stock. Root your phone again after it is done

i have the same issue. but i got stuck when trying to partition my sd card. Now i can't enter Android itself only the bootloader. But i also lost my clockwork recovery...
it keeps looping the HTC Quitly brilliant bootscreen... Forever!
i am now formatting my sd card with my pc. will i then be able to go into recovery again using a zip file from clockwork i found? using this:
fake-flash
Fake-flash is only possible with root access, you need to be rooted to use it. Basically, its a way to have recovery running on the phone without using a PC (making it safer as you are less likely to brick using no USB cable to push files, instead, you push directly from your phone). You can use "ROM Manager" from the marketplace to do this. Simply place the downloaded test recovery image on the phone and the downloaded rom zip (renamed to update.zip) and flash using ROM Manager.
Preperation
Download the fake-flash update zip from one of the links below
Copy the update.zip to the root of your SD card (the name MUST remain as update.zip)
When you want to launch the recovery image
Turn on your device with 'volume down' pressed and select 'Recovery'
When the exclamation mark appears, press and hold 'volume up' then press 'power'
Select the second option, 'Apply sdcard:update.zip
That's it, ClockworkMod recovery should launch!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then installing a ROM with it?
(sry for bad english)

i'm having the exact same problem. i've tried fake flash and it does nothing for me, so does flashing the clockwork recovery image. the only one i haven't used yet is the downgrade...hope that will help

Can You reach The recovery?
From there go to installation zip and install a new ROM (previously downloaded an copied to the root of your SD)
From recovery usually you can activate SD card for transfering files from the pc.If not, insert the SD on the pc in order to copy the rom.
Dont forget to swipe all from recovery before that and i Hope that you already made a backup of everything with titanium

If you can't enter The recovery i don't know how you can flash a new rom.
Maybe you can describe one by one all the steps you made in order to understand where is the problem.

1. Goto http://unrevoked.com and download the software
2. You now have a choice of recovery, Amon RA has released an SLCD version of his recovery, which in my opinion is much better, it has a few more features than Clockwork. I recommend Amon RA, but the choice is yours.
Amon RA Recovery v1.7.0.1 R5 SLCD: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4481275/recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5-SLCD.img
Clockwork v2.5.0.7 SLCD:http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip
3. Go to HBOOT, this is done by shutting down your phone and powering on the device while holding the Power button down and pushing Volume down at the same time, once HBOOT is loaded do a wipe (Clear Storage). You can navigate the menus by using the volume rocker and the Power button to select your option.
4. Load Unrevoked and load the custom SLCD recovery file on your PC:
Goto File>Custom Recovery and point it to the recovery image that you downloaded in step 2.
5. Restart your phone, it will take a few minutes because you did a wipe, just wait it will load (up to 5 minutes). As soon as the welcome screen loads plug your phone in to the PC and Unrevoked should do it's thing. If Unrevoked doesn't start, then hit the Menu button go to Settings --> Applications --> Development and enable USB debugging.
6. The phone will restart a couple of times, and will look like it's hanging on the HTC screen but it's not! If the HTC screen is present for more than 5 minutes pull your battery and start again ( I had to do this a couple times myself). If Unrevoked pauses half way through its process, it could be because for some reason you don't have the proper drivers installed. You can load them as Unrevoked does the root process, while the phone is rebooting if Unrevoked pauses and Windows prompts you for a driver point it to the C:\android\tools directory and it will load the drivers and Unrevoked will continue its root process.
7. When Unrevoked is finished you will be left at the recovery screen,
8. *** VERY IMPORTANT*** Before restarting do a "wipe cache partition", "factory reset". And now would be a good time for a Nandroid Backup
9. Now reboot, and Android should load. Check for Superuser Permissions app, if you see it you're good if not restart from step
I followed these instructions i did got superuser on my phone but when I installed busybox and titanium backup it said its not rooted and I installed rom manager from market and try load my leedroid from SD card and it reboot the phone and that was it. I can go to HBOOT but when I pick recovery it turns off the phone or maybe it just blackscreen. My phone did work till I installed the ROM manager from market and messed it up. And thank you soo much for your replys

So You have amon ra?
Go to recovery And make wipe of everything except battery.
Then, put the battery out from The Desire.
Put it back, enter The recovery again and allow SD card (i dont remember now exactly The name of the option) After conecting the Desire to the pc.
Transfer From The pc The new rom.
If you dont have one, look for Modaco custom r9 for Desire, because it is very close to the stock rom. In order to get it you will have to pay but it's worth the price and in the future you Will have full access to new custom ROMS!
Then go (in recovery of amon ra) to flash zip And flash the new rom.

Sorry is recovery when using press volume down and power?

Ya I do have amon ra

And when I go press down volume and power and plug USB to computer my computer doesn't find it. It doesn't show up but it does show on phone USB is plugged

Ok,You press down volume. Now choose 2nd option (recovery) by moving vol down and when in recovery option press power to select.
Desire reboots and enters in amon ra recovery.
From the options choose usb-ms toggle and connect the Desire to the pc. Rest of the steps as explained.

But when I choose recovery the screen goes dark or turns off not sure which 1. When I connect the USB only phone says HBOOT USB plugged nothing on computer

is" your" desire branded? e.g orange, telus
have you tried installing an official ruu preferably a wwe version?

If you enter the recovery and the screen swich off...i can't help you. I don't know how to bypass that issue!
I'm sorry

ROM manager get not started

Hi,
I have in my hand a DHD from virgin telecom.
Now, in belgium we have three providers: Base, Mobistar, Proximus, Mobistar and Proximus I can register on there network but I can not register to base network!
that means I need to unlock. First and foremost I have to root release by s-off, then engs-off I did that
my CID is now 11 ......,
that means that my DHD is unlocked but I still get no network.
I already did downgrade from 1.75 to 1.32 with goldcard,
En then i have change the buildversion to 26.04.03.17_m2
Actualy, i do everything correct but why cant i register to base network? It is very strange. Must i try another rom version
Forexample revulution hd or something? But i see not a piont!
Or must i pay for a unlock code? En how works that system can they really unlocked from the air? If they so, than must them hacking the system in dublin eho they check the imei numbers..
Have somebody any suggestion to my problem, otherwise i gona sell them ((
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

try installing some other rom and try putting in a different sim card than what you currently have.

ok, i'm know trying to install the revulution hd 2.1 rom now.
1/ according to the guide i must download the full wipe and then the 1.3 upgrade Wipe 1.3 for the safety of the device
2/ I need put these two files (.zip file) in the sd card with the rom file.
3/ then should I be sure if I'm released by the root in the Terminal Emulator Android
typing SU, As a result I've gotten #.
so far I have everything correct according to the guide.
4/The next step should be in the rom manager, I need the flash clockworkmod
and then rebooting which means boot in the clockworkmod.
but when I reboot I got that stupid htc logo. I tried that part again the same old sh*t again and again i'im every time stuck in that logo!! what am I doing wrong?
thx

Are you sure the problem isn't the SIM card and not the handset?
In the UK I use Orange and no matter what I do to the phone it won't let me use Vodafone. That's because its an Orange SIM card.
As for your current problem.
Take out the battery and boot the phone normally.
Within ROM Manager you need to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.x.x.x not 3.x.x.x you may need to do this twice as some users experience problems with flashing it once. Ensure you accept any Superuser requests.
Now, with the ROM & Full Wipe .zips on your SD Card boot into Recovery, either from ROM Manager or by turning off and starting holding volume down. Select Recovery using the volume keys and press power to enter. Make sure HTC FastBoot is unchecked first (Settings > Applications > FastBoot)
Now once in Recovery highlight "install zip from sdcard", press power, highlight "choose zip from sdcard", press power, highlight "Full Wipe 1.3.zip", press power, highlight "Yes - Install Full Wipe 1.3.zip", press power.
Now repeat this process for the ROM you downloaded and wish to install. Once complete highlight "reboot system now". Done.
Sorry if this teaching you to suck eggs, that's not my intention.

@nuri1: sorry but you're doing all wrong (I'm newby also so I can write such a sympatic comment)
For your network problem:
If you mean that you tried SIM from each provider... it could be the phone.
If with one SIM card you can't connect to another provider... it's a SIM card problem (or agreement between providers)
For your flash problem:
you mixed too many things. Take one step by step guide and follow it carefully.
You can see your phone as 3 layers:
Boot
Recovery
Build
To go in boot:
1/ power the phone and hold vol-
2/ adb reboot bootloader
To go to recovery
1/ on some build, long press "power" choose "reboot" then tic "recovery"
2/ use ROM Manager and choose the option to reboot in recovery
3/ adb reboot recovery
All the rooting of the phone (S-OFF, ENG-OFF...) will allow to install the "recovery" on your phone. It's te first steps to do.
When you're done, in recovery just flash your build (it has to be a zip on your SD). The "Full Wipe 1.3" is just an empty build used to clear the NAND (at least one part). You don't have to use 2 different ones.
So when you talked about 2 zip... for me it's wrong.
I have my DHD since last week and there are good and easy guides in the dev section.
If CWM is installed follow the clear explanantions of "andyharney"
Tip: first launch of ROM Manager will freeze your phone (at least each time for me). It's due to the SU permission. Easy to solve, launch "solve permissions issues" (sorry translated from french), accept the SU warning then back (no need to go through the full process).
Then you can choose to reboot "recovery", no hang anymore.

hi,
you said in the rom manager you must click clockworkmod 2.0.xxx en no 3.0 xxx
but i can only see 3.0.0.6 en no the other?
wtf!!!
thx

i got it
thanks anyway
lets rock!!

[Q] Unable to access RECOVERY

Hello,
I'm a newbie here, I rooted my DHD and have s-off but still have the official stock rom from HTC.
When I turn on the phone by pressing the Power and Volume down, I'm getting the menu with little androids down the screen on skateboards.
But when I'm selecting the RECOVERY from this page's menu, and press the Power, instead of getting the Recovery menu (with Backup option etc'...) , the phone is turning on.
I did try to format the sd card and didn't help.
Please.... advice.
Thanks !!!

Try to download Rom Manager from market and use "flash clockwork recovery" option.
Then shut down the phone and restart it with volume key pressed.... bla bla bla
Note: I take no responsiblities for damaged devices

I did that and installed 3.0.0.6 and 3.0.1.5
didn't help.
