Desire stuck on "android" boot screen and looping - HELP - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Selling my desire - it is rooted with a custom rom on it. Did a factory reset and when it rebooted it stuck looping on a blue and white android screen . I have tried to get it to flash the rom again but the middle select button does not work and is required for a selection in clockwork.
I downloaded a stock rom from shipped roms.com which i thought would work (got to the point where but checks phone etc then stops because it is updating rather than installing a new rom)
Essentially i want to know how to install the same rom again that i have as a zip file using the usb on my computer to flash the rom. Can anyone please help?

First of all you can use power button to select in cwm.

that just turns the screen off

If you use cwm classic not touch version, you can use power to select. When you reboot to recovery press volume up then down and do that a few times until you get text 'back button enabled' or something like that, then you'll be able to use power to select.

[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for G2

Installation instructions:
YOUR PHONE MUST ALREADY BE S-OFF. SEE THE OTHER THREADS IN THIS FORUM ON HOW TO DO THAT.
I recommend getting on Wi-Fi.
Download ROM Manager from the Market. You MUST have at least 2.5.0.6.
Flash Recovery.
Choose G2 as your phone.
Accept the Superuser prompt.
Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.
Watch the backup go!
That's it! This is completely painless and safe!
If you appreciate my work, please buy the Premium version of ROM Manager!
If you can't seem to get ROM Manager off the market, you can get it from my homepage:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//recoveries/RomManager.apk
Or to manually install the recovery via fastboot, use this:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-vision.img
Great work!! Would this happen to work on the Desire Z as well?

I'm not seeing the G2 as an option, either
EDIT: I enabled "Advanced Mode" in settings and rebooted, G2 now shows up. Thanks, Koush!
Get on wifi if you don't see it.
Purchased, keep up the good work.
instructions for fastboot method?
I keep getting an error message "can't open cache\recovery\command" upon reboot when I try to create a backup. Any ideas?

I tried that after rebooting into fastboot mode, but it gets stuck at:

sending 'recovery' (4040 KB)...
for over a minute. i dont remember it taking this long on the G1 to flash recovery
Any reason selecting reboot in the recovery causes it to just black screen, and then pushing power button returns it to the recovery?
Oh my God!!!! I followed your instructions and clicked backup current ROM and it rebooted and now I have a red triangle. What do I do?

Be sure to use the trackpad (button below the screen) and not the power button for "select". Power button is "back".

This happened to me (and a few others in the other thread). Pull the battery, restart, reflash recovery (via rom manager), fix permissions (via rom manger, might not be needed), start a new backup. Should work.
(Thanks temjinzero for this method)
Thanks Koush for an awesome job!
If your phone restarts while in Clockwork after flashing and gives you a screen with a red triangle, do not panic and start using it as a paperweight immediately.
Pull the battery, reboot and reflash Clockwork.
I wasn't able to boot again for a few minutes after the battery pull. The power button did not have any effect. Not fastboot nor regular boot. After 2-3 minutes of pain, utter pain, I was able to get into fastboot, then reboot like normal.
Thank you to Koush, cyprusxr3 and mdel.
If you do not see g2 liste go to settings/applications/manage downloaded/rommanager and push clear cache clear data bam fixed
Purchased. And thanks for all the hard work

Phone is already S-Off and bootloader unlocked...it only when I flash with CWM 5.0.2.8 that I get a black screen...but the 4 navigation keys are still lighted up..what does it means?? and when I revert back to stock I can then access recovery but not with all the functions...:crying:

Today I installed advanced task killer/manag er from the market as my phone was acting up lately. I set security to low and task killer to run when the screen is off. I rebooted and now im stuck on the white htc screen. I tried pulling the battery several timesand rebooting but still no boot. I cant boot into recovery because my volume down switch stopped working in the past week. Is the re any way around this I only have 1 phone and really need it working. Thanks in advance.

Not sure, one day it worked and next day it didn't. Volume up works but volume down doesn't, the trackpad has also stopped working. The phone was ok before doing a reboot with the task killer.

Try press harder on the volume down or like hold the tumb on the minus symbol so it covers more then the minus symbol and push hard then hold the power button when it is off, it should boot in recovery.

Had a major stroke of luck this morning. While frantically trying all combinations of button pushes while in recovery a notification appeared that the back button had been activated with menu functions. The search button then acted as a select button like the trackpad. I was able to reflash my rom without losing any data or apps. :laugh: Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. That was a close one.

Do you know what version of CWM you're running? There were a few versions that hung on the 'htc' screen and would take a few reboots to fully boot.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
If you can get into hboot , or able to see 'adb devices' show your device you may be able to type:
adb reboot recovery
and cause it to reboot into recovery from your terminal if you are finding difficulties with using the button method.
The splash is sometimes indicative that you don't have a rom installed at all (i.e.: if you did a clean wipe and such), but worse case scenario, you don't have recovery installed either in which case you may have to install it via fastboot (at the bootloader screen)

can you give any link to do that or something else.. i really need it. im newbie dont know anything
and i use android speeddaemon fantasia rom..
adb (android debugging bridge)is an executable program for a pc (or linux or apple) to communicate with your android phone. it is unlikely adb will work if you cant even access your hboot but you can try.
if you rooted your phone yourself than you should have the drivers installed and adb.exe also installed on computer, along with knowledge on how to use it.
if you didnt/dont have it, google android sdk for the package, and google adb for dummies (or something like that) for more instructions if the sdk doesnt provide you with enough.
but like i said it is unlikely to work and if you want any chance of fixing your phone i suggest logging onto freenode to get real time help
anyway thanks.. i have resolved my problem with battery pull first and then press vol down + power button

If that was your fix, you most likely have the buggy CWM version. Update your CWM recovery to the latest version or flash 4ext recovery (which I've never heard of hanging like that)

[Q] Touch Recovery for HTC Wildfire?

My HTC Wildfire's trackball has broke. WHICH IS HORRIBLE NEWS!!!! This means I cannot install custom ROM's which I loving doing (for some reason). I cannot use the Recovery because to select something, I need the trackball, which is stupid, and installing through ROM Manager doesn't work all the time. Is there any stable TOUCH recovery for Buzz out there? Please tell me, else, this Willy is useless. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
I am running:
Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 (6 because 7 is too buggy and 6 is smooth)
ROM Manager (Up to date, but installing ROMs doesn't work)
Clockworkmod 3.x (x because I can't remember exactly)
Thanks!
- Ikram232
EDIT: I don't need a TOUCH recovery, I need at least a recovery that doesn't require a trackball. I don't care how old it is, as long as it install custom ROMs!

No luck, installed the official ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 and you can move about with the volume rocker and HOME to go up and MENU to go down. BACK and SEARCH just makes it go back to the top of the menu and the POWER switch just hides the menu and show the background. That was a fail! Anything else? Or is the phone done for?
EDIT: it might be the one I install, do you have a link to the one that you had/have?
