Telus Desire freezes booting into Recovery

I have successfully rooted my Telus desire (Superuser app is available) , however everytime I try to flash a custom rom with rom manager it hangs when booting into recovery.
I get the HTC boot screen then a black bar appears at the top then the device shuts off. The only way to get it back is to remove the battery.
The first time I flashed just the regular unrevoked clockwork recovery but if I booted into recovery with that one I would have to clear storage to even get it to boot up again.
I just flashed Amon RA's and while I get the same black bar problem I still cant' boot into recovery.
I have tried to install older kernels and amon ra to no avail.
Please help!
Thanks!

I'm also thinking maybe I need to reflash back to stock and then try re-rooting again. I can't find a Telus stock rom as it is so new, can I flash any other carrier's?
Edit: it even freezes when I run unrevoked again, it goes through the process, says its done but the phone freezes.

I know exactly what your problem is. It's not that you are unable to boot into recovery, but that you cannot see the recovery options because you flash a clockwork recovery ROM that has no SLCD support.
I had this exact same problem. You can try the following steps. Leave the phone unplugged via USB as it may throw off the timing:
1. Hold volume down, then press and hold power for 5 seconds. This will get you to the HBOOT menu.
2. Wait 20 seconds so that the phone can complete the SD card check.
3. Press volume down once, then press the power button. This will select the Recovery option.
4. Volume down 5x. This should have you on the Nandroid option.
5. Optical button in. I'll call this 'enter' for the time being.
6. Volume down once, and press enter. This will select the Restore option.
7. Enter again to select the Nandroid restore point previously created by unrevoked3.
8. Volume down 7x and enter to confirm restoration.
9. Wait 7 minutes (I timed this) for the copying to complete, and press enter to reboot.
If all goes according to plan, this will have restored your original Telus ROM.
Now, to set up your Telus Desire properly:
1. Connect your phone to PC in mass storage mode or use a MicroSD reader. Download ROM and radio .zip to root directory of your SD card. DO NOT run unrevoked3 yet. DO NOT use the OpenDesire ROMs that are current at time of writing. They do not support SLCD at this time.
2. Download SLCD-specific recovery img from hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748618
3. Open unrevoked3, direct the program to use the image you just downloaded, and connect your Desire.
4. After some time, the phone will reboot into recovery mode.
5. Wipe the device
6. Use the update from .zip option to select ROM. After that's done, do the same with the radio zip file.
7. Reboot and you should boot properly into your new ROM.
YOU MUST use the updated SLCD Clockwork Recovery.
YOU MUSTN'T use ROM Manager from the Market. The recovery file it automatically downloads does not support SLCD.

Thank you so much that makes sense.
Its weird because other people with the Telus Desire have been able to flash leeroid. I failed your instructions the first time, but I will try again and keep you updated.
Thanks!!

I don't have a Desire but allow me to ask: If the phone is rooted (and boots up properly otherwise) but just has an inaccessible recovery, can you use flash_image to flash the recovery with SLCD support? This would reduce the bumbling-around-on-a-blank-screen factor.

This is what I did and I got it to work somehow.
What I did was I flashed the custom image, then it still didn't work.
Then I flashed the clockwork image from rom manager and then it worked for some reason!
Thanks guys, weird though!

Did you root your Telus Desire with these steps? I did and no problems at all!

No I didn't, thats why I had a problem, I solved it though with that custom recovery after all.
I HAVE A NEW PROBLEM THOUGH GUYS.
I partitioned my SD card through rom manager and now when I boot with the two partitions it stays stuck on the HTC boot screen. I removed the SD card and it booted fine, i erased my ext3 partition in windows and now it boots but I wanted to reinstall froyo with a2sd+ .
Also, I now get a triangle when I try to do things in rom manager saying that the update.zip can't be found.
This program is really pissing me off.
Help!

what i did that i think worked, was boot into fastboot,
Then through the android sdk fast boot
just pushed the SLCD recovery (renamed to recovery.img)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reboot bootloader
then go to recovery
it should work, it worked for me

THanks for the reply,
I'm all good.
Reflashed the custom image and all is well.

4. Volume down 5x. This should have you on the Nandroid option.
am I doing the above #4 on the white HTC screen? becausethat's what comes up after I select recovery option?

Don't bother with those steps. Just re-root with the custom SLCD image with unrevoked.

Thank you !

is there a fix to prevent this from happening?
i can randomly get into my recovery (it is the proper SLCD recovery image)
and i can install cyanogens rom.
however as soon, as i reboot or for example wipe my battery stats in the recovery, my phone just sticks at the HTC screen

Hi,
I fixed this problem when I reinstalled the Flash CloclworkMod Recovery in ROM Manager.

This is what happens to me as well. I dont know what Telus is but im on 3 (uk) with hboot 0.83 slcd.
this sticking at the htc screen has only started for me since i first wiped battery stats....although i was only running for 2 days previous it worked and rebooted fine before this wipe and now it is sporidic to say the least.
When i boot up with power+vol down, it checks my sd card and says something like cannot find img.
If i remove my sd card after it hangs and reboot, i can get past the htc screen everytime.

Perhaps the "wipe battery stats" option is broken on Telus Desires. What if it's looking to wipe some particular values in memory but it hits the wrong one?

Any chance for you to explain that a bit better? Not sure what you mean there. :/
Flash the file...then go into recovery to reflash a rom? Is that what you did?
After flashing the pb99img file, can you boot into recovery every time without that white screen of death?

[Q] bootloop and red triangle in recovery mode HELP NEEDED!

Dear guys from XDA,
I think I messed up real good this time. My rooted HTC Desire with a 2.2 ROM wasn't taking the update which I wanted to do. To fix this I tried to manually update my phone by downloading the update on my computer and run it via Recovery mode. I used the option install zip from sd card.
Unfortunately by doing so, I did not realize I deleted my ROM and replaced it with an update. Now I'm stuck with a phone in bootloop and red triangle when trying to access recovery mode to install my older ROM (which I usually did when I messed it up).
I know I can press the volume up button and reboot but then I get stuck into a bootloop. Eventually I have to pull the battery out and I'm back at the beginning. Can't do anything anymore.
I tried many tutorials but I could not fix this, also I'm not really into the 'techy' stuff so can you guys be real clear in your help.

sounds like you're just missing a ROM on your phone. Can't you just download the ROM you want, put it on your SD card and flash that to get back up and running? Or restore a NANDroid backup?
...assuming you mean you rooted your phone and then failed at flashing a ROM..but it sounds like you might mean you attempted to download and OTA update after being rooted?
Download a ROM, put it on your SD card, boot into Recovery (vol. down + power), wipe all data, cache, dalvik, then install the new ROM from the SD card.

Hi,
thx for your reply. I am indeed missing a ROM. The problem is that I can't access the option 'install zip from sdcard' in my recovery mode. I am now trying to rename a ROM as update.zip so I can install that. Any further suggestions?

Install HTC Sync, download the RUU which most resembles your original RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667.
Connect your phone via USB in fastboot, and run the RUU.exe you've downloaded. You should be fine.

yes it helps you
you can run a RUU now
just plug phone with usb cable to PC, boot into fastboot mode and execute the RUU.exe
it will go back to stock, you will lose root and custom recovery but at least it will boot up, so you can root again etc.

Thx guys! that did it for me! Really easy job! You have no idea how relieved I am right now. Some tech-guys at my local computer shop told me to send it back to the manufacturer cuz the ROM needed to be synced with the motherboard. I already thought it was a weird story.
Again, thx XDA!

[Q] Device won't boot past HTC logo, please help!

Hi, after attempting to flash a custom ROM to my phone I'm experiencing a big problem, the phone will not boot past the HTC screen. This is obviously very frustrating as the phone is pretty much rendered useless.
I am able to get into the HBOOT menu by holding the Power button and Volume Down and from there am able to select Recovery and enter the ClockWork Mod recovery screens. As you can tell I'm a 100% noob and I really just want to revert my phone to a working state. My network is Vodafone UK. I can't find an RUU above version 3.13 which is apparently what I have (so it tries updating 3.13 to 3.13 and obviously fails).
Any help on getting my phone to work again would be very very appreciated, thanks.

Download a ROM onto your computer, connect to your phone in recovery, mount the sdcard, move the ROM from your computer onto your phone's sdcard, and flash from recovery. No need for RUU.

Dont forget to wipe.
wipe data/factory reset and format all partitions (except sd card) from recovery.
Go to bananagranolas link in her signature, you'll find everything you need there.

Thanks a lot for your help! I was attempting to flash the JellyTime ROM which I understand must have failed to result in my phone not booting properly. Should I flash a stock ROM or will any ROM suffice?

As long as you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery (CMW or 4EXT) you are able to flash any custom rom you like. Just make sure that you make a full wipe before the flashing (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system or in 4ext recovery just choose format all partitions except sdcard).
That should leave you up and running again.

Okay great!
I used the HTCDev tools to unlock my boot loader which I understand is different to S-OFF? Could that be while the ROM flashing failed originally?
EDIT: Upon trying to flash the JellyTime AKOP Rom I get a message saying install from SD card complete but it's still stuck at the HTC screen...

If you have an unlocked bootloder, then you have to flash the rom (previous full wipe of course) then reboot bootloader (from advanced options in CWM) and then in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged to the pc) you have to flash the boot.img inside the rom zip folder.
Extract that file only (not the whole rom) and from a cmd session or terminal as root (located where the boot.img file is) type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done (you will get OKAY. finished near the bottom) you can reboot normally by typing in cmd fastboot reboot or choosing reboot from hboot.

My bootloader now says RELOCKED, how can I unlock it again? (I'm really sorry about this)

Use the token HTC sent you when u unlocked it. and typing in cmd the fastboot unlock command.

EDIT: well, don't I feel stupid. I knew full well from reading that your phone wasn't working, but posted a link to an app. Just not paying attention. Sorry about that.

VBQ24,
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU from your PC.
(Edit: You should relock your bootloader first. you can do so from Hboot. There's an option that says relock bootloader or something like that)
The version of the RUU should be equal or greater to the version that came with your phone. Try this v3.13
However, if you want to flash a custom ROM:
You need to downgrade your device first, get s-off and root, then flash a custom ROM
You need to use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK), get it from here.
Make sure to read the manual (called 'effin manual) word by word. There are instructions on how to downgrade.
Follow the instructions, and if you have any questions, ask here.

[Q] S-OFF but not Rooted, Recovery not working

I tried rooting my HTC Wildfire using the Revolutionary method. I was able to successfully S-OFF, root and install a custom ROM. Realizing I haven't installed gapps, I thought of flashing gapps alone and later changed my mind that I can try flashing CM 10 and then gapps. But strangely, the CWM recovery does not work for me now. Every time I enter into recovery and select an item in the list by pressing the POWER button, I get a screen with CWM icon and then nothing. Pressing the POWER button again returns to the menu, but no action done. Now my device is S-OFF but without root access. Help me out of this please.
P.S: I have tried running fastboot executable from the PC and also by putting files as PC49IMG.ZIP in the memory card. Nothing has got me the CWM recovery working nor the root access.

Hi GlennBrownie,
CWM recovery works now, thanks to you. But am facing another issue. As stated earlier, my phone is not rooted. I tried to flash Mini Cyanogenmod 9 and after successfully installing from SD card, I rebooted the phone. All I got was the Cyanogen image and nothing more. I had to restore my previous ROM. Please help me out of this so I can enjoy ICS on my phone.

Your phone is rooted. MiniCM 9 V2.0 hangs at boot animation. Try V1.0 it works fine (Benni has just released a version of CM10. It is in the General section. I am going to try it this weekend. It sounds very good to me)

[Q] [HELP THREAD] HTC One M8 seems to be bricked (Deviced not recognized)

Hi guys and thanks in advance for any answers.
1. I have bought an HTC One M8 and tried to flash the Venom ROM, so here are the facts.
2. Initially I tried to install lollipop but it was failing because of firmware version. it required 3.18 or 3.19.
So instead i tried to install Venom ROM. everything went fine
2. So, firmware 3.16 was installed and when i in stalled the ROM wifi was not working properly. So i tried to update the firmware.
step 1. was to update the cid to "1111111".
3. Copied the new firmware zip
4. reboot in hboot and installed the new firmware. in the meantime i had disabled (unticked) the fastboot option in the setting.
5. when the phone rebooted it got stuck in the HTC screen and has a lock st the bottom.
6. I waited untill the battery drains and connected it to my laptop. I get the message device is not recognized. i tried several drivers.
7. once i managed to boot in hboot (i really dont know how i did this since power and volume combo does not work) but accidentally clicked to install the firmware. so had to reboot and wait until the battery drains again. I cannot send any commands from the laptop to my phone and i cannot. Power and volume button combo will not work.
any help much appreciated, i willing to donate/pay to anyone who can really helps. thanks

if you have the padlock you seem to be stuck somewhere between GPE and Sense ... The last time you saw the bootloader was it black ?
Explain in detail flashing the firmware and the link to the firmware might help.
in the mean time hold power + volume up for 10 seconds or so, till the phone shuts off and then change to volume down and power to enter the bootloader, when in the bootloader just wait for further instructions

Hi, I didn't know about the power + volume up thingy. Now I'm in boot loader but can't really do much. The boot loader screen is black. Can't go to recovery or anything else. When it reboots goes to the screen with the padlock. And the device still not recognized in wondows. Thanks for the advice through it's a step forward. I will try to downgrade the firmware if possible...

If you can get to the bootlooader/hboot than you can fastboot flash recovery
(twrp/philz) custom recovery like you most likely did after unlocking the bootlooader initially.
Do you still have the "0P6BIMG.zip" on the root of the external sdcard ?
Are you S-OFF by chance?

If you got to the bootloader your phone is fixable. you still need to tell me what file you used and how you flashed it.
I also need your carrier info and possibly what your phone said in the bootscreen before you flashed the first RUU.
A fastboot getvar all is always helpful in figuring what files you need to flash next

Great Point, if you have the "0P6BIMG.zip" on the root of the external sdcard Delete it ! or rename it.
Also it's hard to see in the picture is the padlock locked ? is the bootloader relocked or unlocked ?
Have you tried flashing TWRP to the phone yet?

Hi there guys. Thanks, I have managed to boot in recovery and all that. It was unlocked in relocked it and unlocked it again and tried to install again the rom again.
So, current status:
1. HBOOT 3.19 (black screen)
2. Recovery clockworkmod v6.0.4.8
3. S-Off
4. Tried to install viper mod from team venom and get the error set_perm: some changes failed
I tried the same wIth twrp and I get the sym_link error.
Next thing I'll try to install the latest twrp and try again.
Thanks for the your responses so far!
