Desire Z Recovery mode help!

So, I was continuously getting com.phone.Android process FC in CM7, so I decided to flash VirtuousROM on my Z.
I flashed the ROM, but since then the phone is stuck at the HTC boot logo.
I tried to boot into recovery mode by re-inserting the battery and putting the phone on charge. However, instead of recovery mode, the phone got stuck at the same HTC logo.
So, how do I manually boot into the recovery mode on my Z? What are the key combo?
I don't have access to a PC, so please don't suggest using ADB.

You should to choose factory reset in Hboot screen.

To manually get in to recovery hold volume down and power, this will take you to the bootloader where you can select recovery.

I just performed a factory reset (stock rom, nothing modified) re downladed some app, than froze and got stuck in bootloader mode. When I press recovery freezes again and nothing happens. 2 green arrows in round shape come up for a few seconds and dies... What to do?

Try flashing a custom recovery like clockworkmod through fastboot (taken your bootloader is S-OFF) then install a custom rom again through the recovery.

might be a bad download
check the md5 sum of the file and compare it to the one given by the dev
then try reflashing it

[Q] Has Android Revolution HD install bricked my phone? [Solved]

Hello All.
This is the first time I have tried to put a custom ROM on an HTC so I am still learning the ropes.
I tried to follow the instructions in the first post. So... In sequence, this is what I did...
HTC One X unlocked with htcdev.com (S-ON) or S-OFF (coming soon)
This seemed to go without a hitch. On the HBoot screen (I think that is what it is called) it tells me I am now unlocked.
ClockworkMod Recovery or 4EXT Touch Recovery (coming soon)
I installed the official version as per the instructions here.
The last instruction that seemed to work successfully was this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
Then I tried
Code:
fastboot reboot
which put me into recovery mode.
<EDIT> The instructions here have now been corrected to:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
</EDIT>
Choosing the reboot option from recovery just bounces me back into recovery mode but I understand from the instructions I should be able to boot into a working phone!
Has something gone wrong?
If I use the volume down + power button I can enter HBoot mode. From here I can select Fastboot. Connecting via USB to my computer seems to work fine, as I see Fastboot USB on my phone, and I when I execute this...
Code:
fastboot devices
I get something like this
Code:
List of devices attached
HTXXXXXXXXXX device
I am now unsure how to continue because I think something has gone wrong and I should have a working phone at this point.
Do I press ahead and try to install the Firmware package from here? Unless this lets me boot into a working phone (which I don’t believe it will), it still leaves me with the problem that for a One X, without a removable SD card I don’t know how to transfer and run the "Super Wipe" script, nor transfer and flash Android Revolution ROM via recovery.
Do I need to do something with
Code:
fastboot flash
?
Please help as she is threatening to dump me for destroying her 2-day-old phone.

It's
Code:
fastboot flash [B]recovery[/B] recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
not boot..
Solution for you is to go into bootloader, flash recovery with the command i gave you and then reboot into recovery and install the rom..
After that everything should be ok and your phone will boot into ARHD without any problem.

delete please

It looks like the instructions I followed previously had an error then.
<EDIT> The instructions were incorrect, but have now been corrected </EDIT>
I will follow your instructions. But what about the RUU that is mentioned in the instructions? It is not clear how or when I should flash it. Presumably I flash the RUU before I do the ARHD flash... ???

You don't need to flash any RUU or firmware unless your phone wasn't shipped with 1.26, which i don't think it was.
Just try flashing the recovery with the correct command and then the rom. If your phone doesn't boot after that then you may try the firmware but i'm sure you won't need it.

So, I understand that you are telling me:
Flashing CWM recovery will rectify my current problem and restore my phone to a workable state.
Booted normally, I can copy the ARHD ROM to the internal SD (not sure what the location for this will be).
I then reboot into recovery and 'Install Zip from SD card'.

Good advice, I am sure. However my problem now is getting into a working phone so that I can transfer the ROM onto the internal SD.
Can't wait to get home and try it!

what you have done is replaced your boot sector with a recovery image, that is the reason why you cant boot your phone as normal so even flashing the recovery correctly will not allow your phone to boot up.
as your phone cannot boot up you cannot transfer any files to the internal memory of your phone in order to flash ARHD
at present there is a problem with the official version of ClockworkMod Recovery so i personally would reccommend using the interim version HERE
and flash with fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-endeavoru.img
As you have [email protected]$ked your boot partition up you will also want to download THIS
this is an insecure boot image (thanks to paul from modaco) I have just extracted the part you will need from his package
with this you will need to be in fastboot again and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
obviously you will need to copy both of the files to the same directory as fastboot is on your PC in order to send them
by flashing the boot section with the insecure boot here it will allow your phone to boot up normally again, once it has booted normally you can then copy the ARHD and superwipe to your internal SD card
to access recovery
power off phone by holding power button for 10seconds
power on with power+voldown
select recovery from hboot screen with voldown then power to select
your phone will reboot and then you will be in recovery
do a nandroid backup incase anything goes wrong
then flash the superwipe script
then flash ARHD 1.2.2
all is good

You are correct of course, however, there comes a point where the only way to learn is to actually do something. I have flashed numerous ROMS on my Galaxy S, and before doing this I have read numerous guides trying to better understand the procedures for HTC devices.
I have tried to follow what appeared to be a step-by-step guide, however, either there has been a malfunction, or it appears there may be two important bits of information missing from that guide:
Flashing CWM recovery leaves the phone in a state that it won't boot normally, and consequently...
The ARHD ROM should be loaded onto the internal SD at the very beginning of the procedure

Thanks all of you so much for your effort. It's much appreciated.

@bagofcrap24 I may have misled you with a typo in the first post. (See my edit)
d'oh

edit : just read updated info
so what happens when you choose recovery and press power from the hboot screen
i'm understanding that when doing a normal reboot it just sends you straight into hboot?
power on with voldown
press voldown to select recovery
press power to select recovery
you should either see CWM or the stock recovery
again looking at what you have written, if you just do a normal reboot and its putting you straight into recovery then you probably have flashed recovery onto the boot partition

I get a circular yellow 'recycling' symbol, followed a few seconds later by a magenta triangle with an exclamation mark. (Is this the stock recovery?). Then the phone restarts and I end up back in the Clockworkmod recovery.

No. A normal reboot (without holding the Vol down key) sends me straight to clockworkmod recovery.
I can get to HBoot with Vol down+Power on startup.

Right this means you did mess up the boot and recovery partitions, the one where you have the exclamation mark is the stock recovery which means you didn't flash cwm to the recovery partition.
the fact that you get to recovery on a normal boot also suggests as I suspected that you have flashed recovery on to the boot partition, follow the instructions I put up earlier about flashing the boot.IMG and redo the recovery.IMG and you should be fine

Your analysis is quite correct. All is indeed good! Thanks very much. The boot image worked as described. I will now transfer Superwipe and the ROM.

Make sure you do a nandroid backup first, it was lucky this time but if you mess up your system partition you may find yourself with no way of putting files on without unrooting and restoring the ruu

Glad you fixed it and sorry for being a bit harsh earlier.. was having a bad day

urgent help required!!!

guys please help i cant boot into recovery!!!
it just flashes then boots into the rom.
im currently using the cm9 build
ive tried every thing inc. flashinng interim recovery but does not work! what should i do please suggest!!!

Give us more information of what is happening?
I assume you are holding 'Power' + 'Volume Down' buttons and booting into the bootloader?
Then you select 'Recovery' from the HBOOT menu and what happens then?
Try 'fastboot flash recovery <cwm>.img' for the actual Clockwork Mod recovery, it works fine, you don't need interim any more.
Other than that, you can use 'fastboot boot <cwm>.img' and it will download the recovery into the device's memory and boot from that.

[Q] Phone won't boot into recovery. Stuck on boot screen

I have the International version of the One X and I tried to flash CM9 to it today. Everything was fine until I booted it up and it got stuck on the boot screen. Thought it wouldn't be a problem and I'd just try redoing the steps.. However, every time I select recovery from the bootloader, it restarts my phone. If I then hold the power button, it will turn off and then restart without me telling it too. The only way I can switch it off is by quickly booting into the bootloader and selecting 'Power Down'. Any help or guidance would be appreciated!

Have you tried "fastboot erase cache" without the commas
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium

Yes. Didn't change anything. Still stuck on the bootscreen and restarts everytime I enter recovery. Just tried reflashing recovery too.
Could Installing the stock bootloader and starting again help? or will that make no difference?

Is there any way of completely clearing the system without using recovery?

Did you flash the boot.img in fastboot
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA venom premium

Yes, However I fixed the bootup problem by using the following:
1.) Wiped with fastboot rather than recovery:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
2.) Re-flash recovery (fixed booting into recovery (ONLY when fastboot wipe is done)):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3.) Re-flash boot kernel:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4.) Flash ROM and GApps using recovery
This worked fine BUT everytime I try and power down my phone it automatically restarts. This is incredibly annoying. The only way I can get it to turn off is to boot into fastboot and select power off. If my phone is plugged in it will still reboot after about 10 seconds which means I can't charge it unless it's on.

At least you got your main problem sorted

I'm going to leave this to die, but if I can't fix my other problem I'll open a new thread.

Clockwork Touch 5.8.2.4
I've just seen that the ROM I've been using (TripNDroid's) has been updated to version 005. Working Wi-Fi!
Just spent the whole day setting up my phone.. Kinda annoying.
I'm gunna try flashing that and see if it fixes the problem. Will post here when I've tried it

Now I remember. Problem is with touch recovery. Only install 5.8.4.0.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Installed Touch Recovery 5.8.4.0. Phone still reboots when switched off and cannot boot into recovery mode.
Boots up fine so it mostly isn't an issue but I was hoping to do a nandroid backup via recovery which is looking unlikely.

When i flashed cm9 for the first time, i got the same issue, i was stuck at boot screen...but at least i could boot into recovery, and from there, i used android revolution hd superwipe script, and then did the flashing process again...worked fine after that. So my main point is, if u can boot into recovery, from there you need to do a wipe script or wipe data/factory reset and THEN flash cm9...
