[Q] Please Help

Hopefully someone can help me here.
I started the whole root/flash process and got here:
I did all the steps all but one, I forgot to put the radio.zip file onto the sd card and now I am already in the Clockwork Recovery Mode (green and black screen) I have done all steps right up until flash Radio.zip. Have no idea what I should do now. I have cleaned cache and data/factory reset.
What should I do since I cannot flash radio.zip?

HTC Desire

Have you flashed your rom yet?

Okay guys thanks for the response but managed to get help and basically mounted sd card through Clockworkmod Recovery Mode and copied radio.zip over then refreshed via the advanced settings and away we go with flashing rom, wooohhooooo
Cheers all.

You could've flashed the ROM and then turned the phone off, copied the radio and flashed that. Also, depending on the ROM, it shuld boot up with the wrong radio anyway - just might not work properly!!

HELP!: Hangs on HTC screen, restoring backups/flashing roms doesnt help

My Evo starts to boot then hangs on the white htc EVO 4G screen for all eternity! I nandroid restored all the way to day one of my root, I get an error and it aborts restoring or flashing. What do I do? The last Thing I did was flash a kernal that this rooting method put in my SD card, now all I can do is stare at a white screen or play around in recovery

I've tried flashing a few kernals and plenty of roms, same errors EVERY time! I really want to know why restoring a nandorid backup doesnt even help
::::::::HIGH PRIORITY:::::
I also saw something about another guy who had problems on his moto droid then flashed an update.zip and was fine, any evo update.zip's out there you can give me a link to? If tis will fix it then at least I'll be able to use my phone!

Googled for update.zips for the Evo, the only one I found was on geekfor.me and it got removed

you will have to restore your evo back to stock and then re root....this is how you do it:
download the 3.30 release from this site and put in root of sd card http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?ca...del=Supersonic
in order for your phone to see this ..boot into bootloader..when phone is off, hold the volume button down and then hold the power button...the phone will see it and flash and update it...you will be back to stock and not rooted...you will have to re root the phone and then create a nandroid...
read this for more info on nandroid backup http://www.simplemobilereview.com/an...ndroid-backup/
once you are back to stock, check to see what hboot version you have...this will determine the root method you have to use to re root it...i would not use the root method you did in the first post...there are other methods that are more reliable...if you are hboot 2.02 or 2.10, follow this method... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
if you are a different hboot like .76 or something else..you can use the unrevoked 3.2.1 method
good luck

whoa whoa whoa ... put a exe in the root of my sd card? I did that, held the vol (down) button, and it booted into bootloader and did nothing special. Just sat there idle. I rebooted the phone and it still hung on the white screen
And my phone cant fully boot so running that wont help at all...

U need to click the up volume to flash image once the check runs....this works, I walked one other person through it and have done it to my brothers phone

The kernel you flashed was the stock htc #17 as noted in the post. This is a kernel custom made for our phones so it will not work with google android builds.
You will need to wipe data/cache/dalvik and then restore to a nandroid that you made after you finished rooting. The only real purpose for that initial nandroid is to save your wimax partition since your phone was not usable when that was made.

need help fast! stuck on incredible screen

So my phone now will only reboot up to the HTC Incredible white screen. I'm not even sure what the issue is, all i did last before it got stuck was erase data on an old sd card i had in the phone. Then I just did a reboot and it froze on the white screen.
I'm running GB evervolv 2.3.2 with 2.6.37.4 incredikernel.
I can get into HBOOT but when i click on recovery it takes me into fastboot everytime.
What can i do to fix this????
Sorry please move this thread to the Q&A section, i thought that's where I was posting it, my bad.

Go to the Clockwork Recovery thread and download the update for a different version and try getting that to flash via bootloader. That way you can at least get into recovery if you need to flash new. Just to clear it up, did you use your phone to delete stuff off the old card, by using Astro or ES file explorer? I know ES file explorer has root access so is there a chance you could've deleted a system file on accident? All it takes is a click of the SD card icon and you're in root instead of SDcard. Also this is probably a thread more for the Q&A subforum, just an fyi

i deleted an old sd card that i don't even use for my phone, i was just putting it in there to clear out whatever was left on it. so i could use it new.

And it still bootloops even when you put your normal SD card back in?

yup, i dunno what it's deal is.

I remember an older version of cm7 on the nook color warned against formating sd cards because it accidentaly formats the boot partition, this may be a bug that exists in the rom your using.
at least you can get into hboot, you should be able to download ruu image and flash it in hboot. this would get you back to stock, then root and install clockwork, and then restore your latest nandroid.

Flash this recovery in hboot
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/recovery/clockworkmod/PB31IMG.ZIP
It should at least give you a working recovery.

i have to rename things as update.zip in order for hboot to flash them right??

NO leave it PB31IMG.ZIP.
hboot can only see that name. if you rename it hboot will not see it at all.
also make sure your card is formatted as FAT32

got it into recovery so i'm just wiping and restoring, thanks for the help!

ok now i'm getting a bootloop on the cm7 boot screen...i just went to flash that new instead of my nandroid because the nandroid was from an older rom.

Did you wipe everything? Davik, Cache, Data, etc?

wiped data and cache...didn't do davik because i've never had to in the past. but i'll give it a try.

would i need to update CMW from version 2.0+ to 3 in order for cm7 to work? because it's still bootlooping

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME!
i was on MIUI 1.3.25 (the newest GB release) and i was formatting an sd card and when i restarted my phone i got stuck at the splash screen! i have been able to boot back into cwm recovery but even when i wipe and flash, nothing works.
i booted into recovery and tried to restart from there - failed
i reflashed 3.18 (wiped cache/dalvik) - failed
i wiped all data and reflashed 3.18 - failed
wiped all, flashed 3.25, fixed permissions - stuck at splash screen again
restored an old MIUI (v1.1.15) - stuck at splash screen
pleaseee let me know if you figure this out
edit:
i ran the RUU and got stock to start working. i'm about to root and try flashing something

Are you getting errors when you wipe?like when you wipe data does it say error can't mount or anything like that.... I have a feeling you may have to flash an Ruu and then reroot
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

no, no errors. but i flashed the RUU and rerooted and everything works just fine. I flashed MIUI again and it worked perfect
thanks!

I figured that's what you would have to do glad you are back running

I always mount my sdcard in a linux and format/fix/repartion, or at least let Clockwork Recovery do it. I have never found a Sense, Vanilla, or AOSP ROM that handled SD partition operations very well, without at least a little tragedy.

This tends to be things go as far as ROMs partitioning my sd, always back it up externally and format/partition before transferring stuck back over to it while in phone.

[Q] Can't boot my Desire with any ROM

Hi,
I am having some real problems with my Desire. I was using T-Mod (Leedroid) but thought I'd try out the RCMix ROM this arvo so I did all my backups and a Nandroid backup. I was using CWM 2.5.0.7 and this was fine before but I tried to flash RCMix on and it didn't work. I then tried to upgrade CWM to 3.2.0.8 unsuccessfully. I even tried upgrading from ext3 to ext4 and I formatted my 16GB SD card but that didn't help either.
I have not been able to upgrade anything yet and my phone will not even boot up stock. It is not letting me do any installs of zips, it says no files found and it won't let me do any Nandroid restores either.
So I am stuck with a useless phone that I can't even temporarily use because it won't boot past the Telstra boot screen. I can only get into bootloader and recovery. I have wiped everything but can't get anything to work. I am S-ON.
Can anybody help me? I'm at a loss and have been googling and trying things for hours upon hours tonight. It would be great just to even get back to stock....

Format your SD card (copy content to PC first!), go to fastboot and then try RUU from Telstra...
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using Tapatalk

The Telstra RUU didn't work because it's too old. I'm downloading the downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 right now, so I'll try that and see what happens.
Any ideas why CWM can't see the zip files on my sd card?

Corrupted data perhaps...? Try formating your sd (all partitions - if any ext3/4) and rebuild your partitions... It should work...by your intel, it must be an sd card problem, have you tried another one...?
Sent from my cool Desire

I tried formatting it a few times. I tried both ext3 and also ext4 but it still couldn't see the zip files. I also formatted the FAT32 part. I used Gparted to do it with the FAT32 partition at the left and ext3/4 on the right. I tried it at 2GB but it didn't like it so I tried 1.8GB and then it recognised the ext3/4 part but still can't see the zip files.
Just finished downloading the downgrade so will try that now.
Perhaps something is wrong with my sdcard..?

The downgrade failed but I've managed to flash RCMix on with a different 2GB sdcard. I have tried to use the other card again but CWM still can't find any files on it for some reason. Gparted is also not loading it anymore so perhaps that 16GB sdcard is dead. Looks like I'm going to need to buy a new 16GB sdcard so I can store my music on there again as 1GB is being used for the ext3 partition.
Does this sound about right, that the sdcard is dead?
I can still use and access it in windows, it just won't work on the phone.

I found that if the cards file system is on the way out cwm nicely wipes it for me. If after several formats its the same, it may well be a dead card
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

yeah ok, I've formatted it numerous times and it still won't read any zips. I wasted so much time when all I had to do was use another sdcard....sucks so much.
Also how do I permanently upgrade CWM from 2.5.0.7? I have to keep fake flashing 3.2.0.8 at the moment.
I was thinking when I get my new sdcard that I'll try and do S-OFF. Is it worth it? Should I bother?

Oh god yeah. Fake flash has so many flaws. S-off and fastboot flash recovery.img. see fastboot faq in my signature
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

ok thanks, I'll try S-OFF and flash a new recovery.img when I get a new sdcard.
Which version of CWM is best to use? I was going to use 3.2.0.8 because that's what was said to use with RCMix.

I use 5.0.2.0 for some time now and I haven't had any problems at all.

Cool thanks. I can't use 2.5.0.7 though as apparently it won't work well with the ROM I'm using.

[Q] Really need help....phone will not boot

Ok....search and cant figure it out....Been working on this for two days now......Wife has a g2 and I had to downgrade to root....I did that and everything seemed fine....I then Rooted phone and everything there seemed to be fine....I tgen wanted to download Virtuous Affinity rom but it said I had to DZ hboot...here is where i messed up.......I had made a backup of the stock rom yesterday so I put the PC10img on the root of sd card..rebooted into hboot and ran update by pressing volume up....after everything was done I went back into recovery and went to reload back-up of rom and all clockwork does is show reboot system ,apply update etc and down at bottom says E: cant mount/ cache/recovery/ command........etc
now I understand I dont have a rom after the flash but now I can put any on because when I hit any of the install from sd or back up and restore it goes to that page and just sits there.........I am so lost know and dont know what to do...can someone please help me

You probaby flashed the wrong pc10img file...check the md5 sum against that oof the file...another thing is you can try a higher recovery becuasue I remember when u flash a hboot it replaces the recovery...try flashing the latest version of clockwork via adb...if not that refer to the devs

Did you use the power button to try reload the rom from recovery? Cause that might be your problem.

I understand the errors down at bottom is normal....but the day before I backed up rom so I didnt do that when it came to that in the directions......so now when I try to do anything in clockwork everything is there but when I try say restore rom or install from sd....once you click on it it stops......and phone will not load because there isnt a rom installed anymore

Maybe you could try flashing a different recovery image to your phone via fastboot. Perhaps try flashing 4EXT Recovery by madmaxx82. Then reboot into recovery via fastboot and see if it'll let you restore or flash a ROM. Just a thought...
