Develop Bugs

What am I doing wrong? Loading baconbits.

So I perm rooted and it says S-Off in fastboot and I have superuser access I believe.
I got rom manager and downloaded clockwork through rm. I try to install rom from SD card, select the baconbits rom, it asks to backup or clear, I have tried both.
The phone boots to htc screen, then shows a black screen with a phone and a red symbol over it. I waited 20 minutes on that screen and nothing happened.
I was able to push vol up and power to get a console but I can't load anything there. It will reboot just fine after that but I have no changes and still cannot overclock.
Does this have something to do with the user keys or whatever?
Thanks in advance for reading this and any help that gets offered. I hate to have my first post on a forum being a "help me" post.

Go into Rom Manager and try to flash Clockwork recovery again. This has happened to a lot of people... Flash it a second time, and it should be good.

Did you download the "g2-recovery-test-keys.img" from the 3rd post quoted below?
Place that file in the C:/android/tools or whatever your cd line is, which should in the tools folder. Now go the 6th step. FYI the sixth step I tried from fastboot and recovery, none worked until I reinstalled the drivers my computer kept prompting me for and immedatly got the OKAY's from the 7th step.
Edit: The code "fastboot flash recovery g2-recovery-test-keys.img" should be copied pasted onto your cmd.

Noob walkthrough:
1.Setup Android SDK and install drivers/udev rules as needed
2. S-Off your g2 http://goo.gl/Sc134
4. Copy vision-baconbits-0.3.zip to your sdcard, rename it update.zip (you can do this via adb using: adb push vision-baconbits-0.3.zip /sdcard/update.zip)
5. Reboot to fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader)
6. Flash the recovery http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/vision/g2-recovery-test-keys.img : fastboot flash recovery g2-recovery-test-keys.img (if you get 'waiting for device' your phone either isnt in fastboot mode, or you will need to fix your sdk drivers)
7. You should get two 'OKAY's once recovery flash is complete
8. Press the power button once; then the vol down button to highlight 'recovery'; then the power button again to select the 'recovery' option
9. The phone will reboot to recovery
10. Press volume up+power to show the recovery menu
11. Select the 'Apply:update.zip' option, using volume keys to navigate, and power button as [enter]
12. Once the zip applies, reboot
If you get signature verification errors on the zip, it means your fastboot flash of recovery failed to apply, redo it

Bingo, That worked. Glad it was that simple. I actually had to flash clockwork a third time to get it to go all the way.

[Q] Clockwork Recovery

Hi, My DHD volume buttons no longer work and I've been reticent to send it off to get fixed as I can do with out the volume controls as opposed to being without a phone for 2-3 weeks.
However I used Rom manager to boot into CWR and was in the process of upgrading to revolution 5.2.4 from 5.1.8.
I ran the full wipe script then my fat fingers rebooted the phone rather than flashing the rom.
I now cant get back into CWR to flash the new rom. It just sits at the boot logo, obviously as all other partitions have been wiped.
Is there any other way I can force the phone to boot into CWR, perhaps using the sdk tools or similar?
I've tried adb devices, but it doesnt show up. Is there an external way to force the phone into flashing a new ROM or booting into CWRM ?
Thanks
Ron

I would like to help, first lets try using adb, command would be adb reboot recovery

Hi, thanks for the help.
As mentioned in OP. I have powered the phone on and have have already attempted this, but the device is not recognised by adb.
tools>adb reboot recovery
error: device not found
My question is how to get the device to be recognised if its simply sitting at the boot image?
R

Sorry I over looked that, it seems to me if adb (which is an sdk tool) won't recognize the device as being attached, i don't see any other sdk tool doing any different, also as far as I know there is no alternate method to scrolling through the boot loader that would allow you to choose recovery and flash a zip other then the volume keys , so it seems the solution is, to send the phone off, get the volume keys fixed, and then you will be able to get back into the boot loader, and select recovery, and reflash a rom. Other than that, I don't see any other method, if adb doesn't recognize the device as being plugged in, I am assuming you attempted to boot into boot loader as well, and see if adb recognized the device?
EDIT: stupid question you can't boot into boot loader without volume key

I just want to confirm that I need do nothing else other than configure the sdk and ENV path etc, such that if i can run adb and get the deafult output, eg switches fr command line options etc...
then all I should need to do is turn phone on and connect via usb to computer. I dont need to edit any config files for specific phone versions or whatnot?
If not then Ill try and bring it to a vodaphone shop and see if they can fix the volume button...
R

if you get the volume buttons fixed, we don't even need adb, I was simply thinking adb since your volume buttons are broken. Once the volume buttons are fixed, you simply need to boot into boot loader, then to recovery, mount USB mass storage, put a new rom on there, wipe the phone, flash the rom and your good

Good luck mate, do some mediation meanwhile and learn to keep patience, so when your phone is back, you can treat it gently while in the recovery.
You will be alright once your vol keys are fixed.

You should install 'Quick boot' from the market. You need root access to use this app. You can also connect your phone to your PC and use ADB to reboot the phone in bootloader mode with the following adb command: adb reboot bootloader.

You mean the hboot menu? Press and hold back and power button, and when fastboot screen appears, press power button. Now you are in hboot.

You can install "ROM manager" , it can reboot into the Recovery(CWM)

Code:
adb reboot bootloader

thanx to all above for your valuable reply..

As far as I know, there isn't any .exe file in an android operating system. And for your problem, you should do something like this:
1. If you're on Windows:
- make sure that you have the android sdk downloaded;
- make sure the drivers for HTC Desire are installed on your pc / laptop
- go to platform-tools, hold the SHIFT button from your keyboard pressed and, while holding it, press the right mouse button in that folder. The right click menu will appear, but having an extra option "Open Command Window Here" or something like that;
- connect your phone cable to your pc / laptop;
- plug the cable into your phone;
- in the command prompt window opened earlier write "adb shell reboot recovery" to go into recovery, "adb shell reboot" to simply reboot or "adb shell reboot bootloader" to boot into the bootloader;
2. If you're on Linux:
- open terminal;
- cd /to/the/android/sdk/path;
- cd /platform-tools;
- use the commands I wrote above, the ones including adb;

If your existing rom allows it, if you press and hold power button, choose restart, then you can get a mini menu with the option to boot into recovery. You can then use the recovery to flash the new rom.
Another option is 4ext recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
It will install a new recovery on your phone - but it is pretty cool. You can use the touchscreen to navigate rather than volume buttons (handy if your volume is stuffed) You can also use the app to launch the recovery.

Take the battery out, then boot in hboot (if your volume buttons are not working, press Power+Back button, then select Bootloader), then recovery and restore your backup (you should have done one) or reflash your rom.

bad flash - stuck in os

hey guys,
i was bored and flashed a .zip on my phone and now I'm no longer bored. Long story, short... I'm booted into the os (almost) with constant errors popping up. I can't get the power button down for 10 seconds to reboot phone and i want to get back to recovery to flash by back up. How can I use terminal (mac) to force back into recovery if phone is not in mode for adb to recognize phone?
Thanks in advance.

Try hold power button + volume up to force reboot. Once the screen goes black release those buttons and hold volume down button to go to hboot

Thanks for your reply. Seems the power + volume is not be recognized. Is there a way with fastboot or adb?
Otherwise, I guess I wait until power drain.

Power + Volume Up should work. But as you asked for adb/fastboot
1) "adb devices" to check if device is recognized
2) "abd reboot bootloader" so the phone reboots into bootloader
3) go to recovery and try a reflash

This should always work as long as the screen is on. It might take 10 seconds or more, so you may not be holding the buttons long enough.
Alternately, you can use:
adb reboot bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery
There is no required more for adb commands, as long as the screen is on. Fastboot on the other hand, requires the phone to be in fastboot mode.
What did you flash? Was it a ROM, and if so did you do a full wipe (data, cache and Dalvik) before flashing?

Thanks for all the replies. It finally died and I was able to jump back into recovery. I was trying to flash a .zip (one+ one theme) to my rom and some things about it (audiofx) was not liked. I guess adb could not recognize the phone since it was basically booted into the os. I just thought there was a way to still use adb or fast boot to push it into recovery. I did not get to try adb reboot boot loader, but would adb recognize phone even with this command?

Glad it worked and that we could help a
adb reboot bootloader should be recognized nearly any time.

Trying to install TWRP but the phone keeps overwriting it

Trying to install TWRP v3. Phone is unlocked (not rooted yet as not necessary atm). I'm able to sucesfully push the .img to the sdcard via adb and install via "fastboot flash recover twrp.img" but the moment I reboot the phone and try to access recovery to get into TWRP, all I get is a little icon of an android mascot lying down with his belly open. No TWRP.
I know the phone will auto-overwrite custom recovery's if the correct combination of hardware buttons are not pressed after the first TWRP install (as TWRP needs to patch the default recovery the first time to stop the phone from constantly trying to overwrite TWRP every time) but so far i've not been able to find out what it is (i.e. not the usual vol +- and power all at the same time. Its gotta be something else?).
Edit: Delete his post. I figured it out. Turns out it isn't a good idea to execute "fastboot reboot" immediately after TWRP installation

Don't restart the Phone!
Flash Recovery and the do the following:
Use the volume keys to scroll and power key to select the Reboot Bootloader option. Once the phone has booted back into the bootloader you can use the volume keys to scroll and the power key to boot into your newly flashed recovery. It's now safe to disconnect your usb cable.
