Hi,
I just rooted my Desire Z and installed Virtuous Sense ROM but I don't know how to get into recovery mode beside using ROM Manager to do that.
I pushed volume down and power at the same time and it gets into a screen with three little androids below the screen and I see there are some options with the selected on highlighted in blue (is this correct?) but I cannot use volume up/down to change the option, I press power button and it get to HBOOT asking me to update PC101MG.zip again... and I can use volume down to cancel this update and power button to reboot again.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks.
Go to the root folder of your SD card and remove the PC101MG.zip file. Once you do that it shouldn't prompt you to update PC101MG.zip again. Then you can select recovery by pressing the volume button.
Sound like you flashed a radio but forgot to remove it from what i understand from your post.

Many thankssss. Problem solved!
Hi,
I have tried with my Desire a change from oxygen to update-cm-7.0.0-Desire make-signed. The following has happened. If I'm in the bootloader and then select them, choose from SD_karte zip and then press the power button goes from the display. If I then press it again goes back in and the selection appears at the same point.
I try to go fastboot, I get an error message, see above. Now I can not change so no matter how anything. The Desire gets stuck in startup mode. I can only respond to the ADB device.
Is there a way to start from scratch?
Expressed by way of loan, take everything down and play on it again.
Or else, there is a separate boot, recovery, system and are userdata.img? And if so, how can you bypass the verification?

Turn off signature verification in recovery.
Hi and thanks for the reply.
What exactly do I have?
I go into the boot mode
I select Recovery, Power Botton
It is the Recovery Window:
Top ClockworkMod Recovery is v2.5.0.7,
Among them is the selection menu
no matter what I select now. It's always the same.
The screen goes dark and nothing ....
If I then press Power again comes the selection.
Can you tell me the command lines for fast boot or ADB?

Search the Clockwork Mod menu for signature verification toggle. I use RaRecovery so I don't know where that is exactly located in CWM.

It's under "advanced" option if I remember rightly...
Hi,
up to select "advanced" I come. With the Vol + / - button I can navigate. If I then go on Advenced and the power button actuated, is "only" the display is dark. Nothing happens. You then hit the power button again the display will light again and is back on "advanced". From there I get no further.

Ok first we need some info.
What rom and android version are you on?
Are you s-off?
Are you rooted?
Do you have busybox and the su app installed?
You must first root your phone. This easiest way to do this on a DROID Incredible is using unrEVOked... head to the unrEVOked site to root your phone, then it will install Clockwork Recovery, thus getting you one step further to installing CM7.

If you used unrevoked and it compleeted without error then you should be fully rooted and s-off, and have clockwork mod recovery. I'm not sure why rom manager wont work, however it is not recomended to use rom manager to install a rom anyways.
First go to menu settings applications and make sure fastboot is not checked.
Go to your sdcard and delete any PB31IMG.zip files, and make sure the cyanogenmod rom zip is on there.
Power off the phone and wait a couple secs.
Hold down the volume down button and the power button untill a white screen appears (hboot). Note at the top it should say s-off, if it says s-on you can stop here and report back.
Use vol down key to scroll to recovery, and the power button to select.
Recovery will pop up with a screen of options. Navigate up and down with the volume keys and press the trackball to select, press power button to go back.
If you dont have a backup made i would start by doing so, select backup & restore and then backup.
Next go to the mounts and storage menu and format everything availabe except emmc and sdcard. Then go to the advanved menu and whipe dalvik-cache.
Select install zip from sdcard and then navigate to the cyanogen mod zip and select it. This will install the rom.
Once its done installing select reboot phone and it should boot up to cyanogen.
Note that this first boot may take a long time up to 15 minutes so be patient. Once bootet you will need to install the super user app and busybox to regain root.
it's also possible you may need to update your superuser app as well
i rooted my Dinc. with unrevoked almost a year ago,
Diego method did not work.
so,
i went to menu - settings - applications,
i do not see fastboot?
and
pressed manage applications,
SD card is empty.

Place the su.zip on your sd card in no folders.
Power off the phone and hold down the vol down button and power button untill a white screen appears (hboot). Wait for a couple secs while it looks for some files and then use the vol down button to highlight "recovery" and the power button to select.
You should now be in recovery.
Use vol up and down buttons to navigate, power button to go back, and press the trackball to select.
Select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard" and then select the "su.zip". Select "yes" to confirm the install.
Once finished back out to the main recovery screen and select "reboot system now".
Thats it you should now have the latest superuser app and binary.
mine is SU v2.3.6,
which version is the newest?
and
flashed CWM recovery,
updated to CWM 5.0.2.0.

Ive searched/read all related threads created and don't seem to see this issue posted.
I have a droid incredible rooted using clockwork recovery v2.5.1.2 for a long time now, all of a sudden when i boot into clockworkmod it wont let me select anything from the menu...
when you hit power button it goes to black screen, hit the power button again it goes right back into recovery menu.
simply trying to factory reset the phone to let someone else use it.
Thnx in advance for any help Dominick
The power button didn't allow you to select options in CWM, use the optical button.
If that doesn't work, you need to reflash CWM through hboot by downloading the recovery file from pvillecomp.com and renaming the file to: PB31IMG.zip

tnx wow i feel stupid its been so long since ive messed with the cwm i forgot its the optical button tnx mang..
So i decided to Factory reset my Wildfire which was on CM7 and had root and S off. after the reset was done, while I was in the process of Setting up the phone (where you touch the green android and set up google account and wifi) and then guess what, It force closed. I restarted the phone but it wont start it was stuck on the cm7 boot thing (where the blue android guy is on his skateboard) and it went on and On. so i decided that i have to flash the rom again. I go into Clockwork Mod using the Volume Down + Power button. and then it hangs for a few seconds, Even if i press the volume up/down button, nothing happens. After that,this appears :-
SD checking [some file name.zip]
image not found
[same thing again]
I go onto recovery mode. and go to Install ZIP from Sd card and when i Press it, nothing comes on. all i get is a black screen. absolutely nothing is on there. what can i do? the rom is on my sd card but it doesnt seem to find it i guess. Is my phone bricked or what? help will be much appreciated.
Sorry if i have posted in the wrong section. Im new here.
thanks
Regarding the fc while setup I have no idea what happened. You say you wanted to factory reset the phone - did you also format/wipe everything and reflash CM7?

that's pretty normal (also the few secs pause): Fastboot checks if there's a PC49IMG.zip to flash - after that you can boot into CWM (what seems to work until there).

don't think that the zip isn't found - guess that would end up in a error message. Probably CWM doesn't work correctly or the SD card is damaged. I'd check the SD card on the PC and would probably redownload the ROM, then, I'd check with a second SD card to make sure it's ok. If no success either try to reflash CWM (e.g. with fastboot, there are different methods - obviously doesn't work with CWM itself )

nah, fits absolutely perfect here
You are pressing the trackball aren't you??
I presume so as it seems you're getting as far as finding the zip but I'm pretty sure if you press the power button it takes you to a blank screen, its been a while since I used cwm on my willy..........
If it isn't that try flashing cwm again.
