I just rooted my HTC using the simple 1-2-3 method just posted last night.
Everything worked well, and now I'd like to load custom roms but after getting into fast boot - when I select recovery - it just displays the htc icon with the red exclamation mark -
I waited about 5 minutes and had to take the battery out and reboot to get into android.
What am I doing wrong?
The instructions were to hold volume down + power, choose fast boot - then select recovery - wait for phone to boot into recovery mode and then select the custom rom I want to load...
Im not familiar with the rooting method you use but the reason you get that screen is because you do not have a custom recovery it seems. If the guide you used involved unlocking nand, you may want to make sure you properly unlocked it and flashed a custom recovery. You can also try Rom manager from the market, as that will allow you to easily boot into a custom recovery from within the app
not quite sure, but when you get to that exclaimation point screen, press volume up + power, and it will take you to a recovery screen. if whatever method you used involved installing a recovery, you probably have clockwork. so press the volume up + power, then go to "apply zip" or something, then "apply update.zip", and if you have that update.zip file on your sd card, will boot up clockwork. from there you should be able to flash roms.
either that, or you are not supposed to boot recovery from fastboot
ok guys, i really need some help here. not sure what i did wrong, but been stuck at this point for hours. i followed the methods as below
1. Install RSD Lite and USB Driver Motorola
2. Root your Defy with SuperOneClick (guide can be found on previous spoiler)
3. Install System Recovery apk file. Open the app and click Install System Recovery ( place System Recovery apk file in your SD Card)
4. Extract the file Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 and place the folder in sdcard/goapkrev/backup ( if you cannot find the folder, create one)
5. Click Recovery boot and it should enter clockwork mod recovery
6. Navigate to backup/restore. Do a Backup for your current stock rom (navigate using volume up/down and press Power Button to enter)
7. Wipe data and wipe dalvik cache (in Advanced Options) in the recovery mode
8. Restore Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117
9. Click reboot and right after that press and hold down volumn up button and you should be in boot mode
10. Plug in you Defy to computer and open RSD Lite. Open the file TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree and flash with it.
problem comes when i'm at flashing using RSD lite. when i flash it, it comes to 'please manually power up your phone'. problem is, i keep getting the motorola logo, which i assume is being stuck in a boot loop? i tried to go to recovery and wiping data and cache, and flashing it again, but keep having the same problem.
actually, how to you manually power up the phone? i did a battery pull since pressing the power button seems to get is stuck in the same boot loop, and i dont see any other way.
please help!
Pull battery,
put battery back in holding the VOL-Down until the android pops up...
press VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time.
Next screen is for wiping and updating.
Wipe Data/Cache
When done, go to REBOOT and hold down the VOL-Up to go into Flash mode. and flash with RSD 4.9

You should be good to go...
i think i did a stupid thing and flashed the whole thing with a uk_rom.sbf. now my defy is showing a black screen but during flashing with a TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree.sbf, the screen does show SW Update but once finish, it's all black again.

from the looks of it, i can only use an sbf file to restore to whatever point needed enough to recover more. this is cos i have a blank screen but rsd lite is able to see my phone and flash it with an sbf file.

Make sure the phone is OFF, after that hold the vol-down and power button and KEEP holding vol-down until you see an Android in a box with arrow pointing out..... them press vol-up + vol-down at the same time to enter another screen which will aloow you to wipe data/cache.
Once you've wiped.... download the sbf I linked you and use RSD to flash that in flash mode (vol-up + power on)
no dear, for defy after u see the traingle of android
press the lower right which is hedin
and a menu will popup to u
this is the defy
Anyway, solved it by flashing it with a Finland rom 3.5.2
Maybe I made a mistake somewhere and bricked it, but now running a non-downgradable froyo, but I'm not bothered. Thanks for the help

If it has clockworkmod than it should work like this
Using Clockwork Recovery console
Disconnect the USB cable and reboot the phone into HBOOT mode (power off, then hold volume down key and press-hold power on key).
HBOOT will scan for the ESPRIMG.zip file (and some others), then present you with 4 options: Fastboot, Recovery, Simlock and Clear Storage.
Press volume down key to select Recovery, and press power key to apply.
This will take you to a screen with a black background, a picture of a phone and a big red exclamation mark.
Press and hold the Volume Up key, then whilst still holding Volume Up, press the Power key. This will take you to a secret yellow menu with a few options (you may also get an error like E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command, it's ok to ignore this one).
Press Volume Down to scroll the list and highlight Apply sdcard:update.zip. Press the Power button to activate.
This will flash the update.zip file we copied to the root of the memory card, which activates a custom tool called the Clockwork Recovery. Clockwork lets us do many things, including making full phone backups, and installing unsigned ROM images. Clockwork gets wiped every time you reset the phone. So to use it, you must always reboot into HBOOT mode, choose Recovery, activate the hidden menu and apply the update.zip as above. You will be doing this multiple times, so get used to it.
If that doesn't work than you need to put http://dl.dropbox.com/u/642364/slideroot/update.zip that in your sd card
After you flash Clockwork Recovery for the first time, you should download Rom Manager, and in it will have an option that says "Reboot into Recovery", and once you select that, it will take you directly to Clockwork, so no more constant reflashing

thanks a lot guys!!
I was trying to go back to stock ICS and cwm recovery. When I tried to go back, I was currently rooted, running twrp recovery and a custome rom (carbon). I followed this procedure:
The simple method to revert back to stock ICS from a custom ROM on an A100.
+++Locked bootloader, no custom recovery, no root. Full stock .014 rom. It will recieve OTA updates to latest Acer version.+++
Get Ready
1) Download this flashable Stock recovery zip, and place in your normal flashing location, - Thx 4 help pio
http://db.tt/VLmnMCzq
Also uploaded below
2) Download the Official .014 Stock ICS rom
The stock ICS zip from zeronull. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1611696
Here is a second link to it. http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a - thx zleto
3) Rename the Stock ICS rom to "update.zip", no quotes (make sure you have "hide known file extensions" UNCHECKED, in the folder options). And place it on the root of your microSD card. This will allow you to see the file extension to verify that it is named properly.
Get it Done
1) Flash the Stock recovery zip with your custom recovery. Then wipe cache, davlik cache, and wipe data/factory reset.
2) Reboot to system.
3) Allow it to sit for 5 minutes or so.
4) Then Power off.
5) Update from the microSD card by holding down the power and volume rocker closest to the corner at the same time, until you see "erasing cache .".. ect, ect. The stock rom install should start by itself, dont touch anything, wait for it to reboot.
****** If it won't boot do a factory reset (with the hardware buttons, see below) and/or try to reflash the ics rom one more time. ******
Quote:
To perform a Factory Data Reset use the following steps:
1.Place the rotation lock switch in the up position (tablet held in portrait). Or to the left if held in landscape.
2.Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the corner (it is volume up, if held in landscape).
3.With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4.Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5.Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
Now I get the android symbol with the red triangle, that stays for about a minute, then it reboots and stays on thye acer screen. When I did the steps and was going to reboot, I received a waring while in recovery sayiny that I dont have a op installed. I did it anyway, as posted and now I'm stuck, can anyone PLEASE help me.I tried doing a reset with steps 2 though 4 but while pressing the vol up and letting go of the power button, it does not vibrate.
Ok, I redownloaded the stock ICS from here http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a. At the end of the download, a window popped up saying this may be a malicious file. (Idownloaded it on my pc). I remember it also said the same thing when I downloaded it the first time too. I turned off the tablet, took the sd card out, put in pc and transferred the file, pulled out from pc, inserted in tablet and turned it on, still same thing with android synbol and red triangle. I tried to do a factory reset by following the steps above. I got it to say erasing userdata, then this is what it says in red, unrecoverable bootloader (ox19000008) I have no idea what this means?? Can anyone help me out with getting this back to stock ICS and recovery?? What do I do next?? Thanks
Now, when I do the same procedure but instead use the vol up button (instead of the down button), it comes up bootloader, then the version number, then starting fastboot usb protocol. I have no idea what this means??
I have Galaxy note 10 plus rooted with magisk and TWRP was also installed... there was an update option for magisk I updated magisk and restarted my phone then my phone got stuck on boot screen on galaxy note 10 logo..

how to flash stock again, if entering the download mode is not possible?
Bro,
flashing stock is final option....
try to boot in recovery mode. if you are in bootloop
@ How To Reboot to Recovery mode
- Keep holding Vol down + power (Side key) - As soon as device warning screen appears, keep holding Vol Up - with USB Connected to PC is important
then flash KETAN Rom...
this is from my experience. so it will work
take care. staY safe...
Just got this phone, bootloader is already unlocked, but trying to figure out how to get TWRP + LineageOS on it. Do you HAVE to flash Dr. Ketan's ROM for all this to work? I keep trying to just flash TWRP with latest R firmware installed and it will boot to TWRP at first, but once I reboot to system it just gets stuck on Samsung logo and won't go past that
Hi,
If your Galaxy Note 10 Plus is stuck on the boot screen, there are a few things you can try to recover your device without losing data:
Boot into recovery mode: Press and hold the power button, volume down button, and Bixby button (if your device has one) until the Samsung logo appears. Then release the buttons and use the volume down button to navigate to "Recovery mode" and press the power button to select it.
Wipe the cache partition: Once in recovery mode, navigate to "Wipe cache partition" and select it. This will wipe the cache files on your device but will not delete any personal data.
Boot into safe mode: Press and hold the power button until the Samsung logo appears, then release the power button and press and hold the volume down button. Continue to hold the volume down button until the device finishes booting. When in safe mode, all third-party apps will be disabled, and you can determine if any of them are causing the issue.
If none of the above steps work, you may try factory resetting your device. However, this will erase all data on the device, so make sure to backup your important files before proceeding.
If none of the steps work, you may need to flash the stock firmware on your device. This process is more complex and requires technical knowledge.
It's recommended to seek help from a professional technician if you are not familiar with the process.
