Hello,
Yesterday i tried rooting my phone for the first time, following the Cyaogenmod wiki for Desire Z. And everything worked without any problems, until
i arrive at the Clockwork Recovery mode step. I get no response when i try to select an option, all I get is a picture of the Clockwork logo, and nothing happens.
I have been googling for a solution, but seems like it is a quite rare(?) problem, and since im pretty new in this rooting business im not sure of what to try.
I have however sucessfully "installed" the Andromadus Mimicry ROM using the Rom Manager app.
But since i have to flash Gapps to be able to use market, im still stuck because of the need for Clockwork to work.
Does anybody have any idea of what i can try to do to fix this?
P.S. pardon the english, not my native tongue
Best Regards
Are you using the power button or the trackball to select in clockwork?
Also consider updating to a touch based recovery, 4ext is amazing but at least go fo clockwork touch

Wow...is this for real..?
I've been using the power button all this time, so i tried using the trackball like u suggested and it works!
Feel like such a moron...
Thanks for the help(and the fast reply)!
No problem, it happens to many so don't worry about it
I do still suggest an upgrade though, life will become much better, here's how

I am using BakedSnack 1.8. It is a GREAT ROM and works 100%.
I wanted to a flash, and discovered I can't get there.
I don't believe it is a BakedSnack issue, I tried another ROM prior and add issues, maybe it left something behind.
When I try to boot into recover by any method RM, Quickboot I get the white HTC screen. With the Power/Volume, Bootloader options comes up, I pick recovery and get the white HTC screen. battery has to be removed and EVO is allowed to bootup normally. I have left HTC screen on for 15min. just to make sure.
need help ? I an not a programner/developer and new to ROMs and Andriod so please be specific.
I have the same problem. Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
I had a similar issue a few weeks ago, I was able to fix this by downloading and installing ROM Manager and flashing the alternate recovery option again, hope this helps.

ok so do you have any other rom to suggest.
i am looking for one that isn't lacking any features,
is stable and has a smoother scrolling look on like an
iphone.
ps: no i don't want an iphone i just want my brother
who has one to stop using the only advantage of his phone
over mine to annoy me.
Just backup your existing Rom and start flashing Rom's. LeeDroid is popular, I run CM6.1.3 which I think is very good. Have a play and see what you like. Enjoy.

one last thing --> how do you flash a new rom???????
Read the sticky threads on the developers thread. You really need to understand what your doing before going any further.

ok thanx, will do.
ok so i got everything figured out. it's not as difficult as i thought
but there's a small problem. i install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager
but when i get into recovery i see the phone with the triangle. then i press
volume+ and power and the menu appears but it only has the 4 basics
no nandroid. what do i do?

Sounds like you don't have s-off. If you don't have s-off your recovery will be restored to the factory version when you reboot.
Go to the development section and grab the "one click radio s-off" tool. It will take care of the problem for you.

ok gonna try that thanx.
read and do this first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
then choose any rom from the development section .. place the downloaded file on your sd card .. reboot into recovery choose install zip from sd card .. navigate to your downloaded file and install
I would recommend Android Revolution HD or Leedroid if you are looking for something very stable ..
ok guys thanx for your help but idecided not
to flash because i did some tricks and now my phone running fine.
1)uninstalled task manager (i am on froyo and you know the rest. haha)
2)uninstalled setcpu (i read somewhere that it may cause problems when running even if not profiles or any sort of overclock are active. that was the case with me, although i will miss the 245mhz screen-off profile.)
3)reduced my widgets and pages from 9 to 3 and 6 to 2 respectively
4)changed some options in launcher pro
these resulted in no more fc's and a lot smoother scrolling in menu, sms, homescreens etc.
despite the fact that when i scroll slowly between homescreens it's a bit laggy.
overall great.
thx again guys. if nothing else, i learnt a lot.
OK, so I am not new to the xda desire scene,
(Despite the fact that I can't post in the rom development thread regarding this issue)
I have tried installing this Rom in as many different ways as I can over the past 3 hours:
Using EXT3 rather that EXT4
Changing Hboots
Making sure that I have got the correct download (a2sd+/D++)
Wiping a billion times over
etc etc.
HOWEVER no matter what I do I cannot get this Rom to function
When I boot up for the first time, I just get a wallpaper and notification bar.
No touch screen response/button response.
Only the power button works as a method of turning the screen on/off
I assume from experience at this point in first boot HTC's setup program
(or whatever it is) should start and guide me through
linking up accounts/inputting Wifi keys etc.
I have scoured the rom thread and others regarding rom problems and nobody seems to have had this problem of the Setup manager not starting.
As nice as the Gingerbread Screen On/Off animation is I would prefer to do abit more with my phone
I hope I have posted in the right section and I would very much appreciate it if anyone who has had this experience could help me fix this problem and get a working phone...
(ps. The Rom looks very good, if only I could get it working)
First of all try to redownload the rom!!!

Hey Thanks guys, but..... I re-downloaded the ROM both versions 1.5 and 1.7 (since 1.5 is thought to be more stable) :/ and get stuck at exactly the same place :SSS I'm am abit baffled since I change Rom's alot and have never experienced this before
Did you wipe dalvik? btw your sd card partion need to be at least 1 gigabyte. It worked for me i had same issue as you. First post on XDA
My first installation of 1.7 didnt work and I had to pull the battery and I thought the same thing was happening with my second try, as the screen just went blank after all the crazy changing shapes that happen during boot. However once I touched the power button the setup menu appeared.
I thought this was strange as every other ROM I have tried went straight from the boot animation to the phone starting without the screen blanking out. I know this doesn't help solve your problem but it might mean something to somebody else, who can then help you further.
ps I have been running the ROM for the past week and I haven't had a screen freeze yet. Which has been a revelation for me, as every other ROM ive tried has been really bad for this.
I'm not sure, if I'm right here. I use this site for the first time.
So, I have a little problem, and maybe you can help me.
Yeah, it's right: I've a HTC Wildfire S.
Now:
You know the phone well I think. My english isn't that good. At the top of the smartphone there is a button with which you can unlock the display/screen. But right there is my problem. This button doesn't work anymore. And HTC won't to that for free.
My question is: Could somebody of you - if it isn't difficult - make a ROM or something like this to change it? So that I can use something different for it? Like the buttons on the display or the loudspeaker buttons?
And there is another question: How I could lock the screen, if this button doesn't work?
I hope you can help me!!
In fact this is not only lock/unlock button, but the power on/off button. If ever your phone gets off, it's dead.
It is not possible to remap the hardware buttons. don't you have guanrantee?
Yes, I know that. But with changing the battery the phone could power on..
Do you mean that you cant do something like I want?
Yes. It is not possible. There is a way to wake up your phone with vol. buttons in a custom rom and locking can be done automatically in the security settings. but when your power button does not work you will not be able to flash a custom rom.
Thanks. That's not that what I hope. But better than no answer
To the guarantee question..normally yes..but they say it's my fault..I dropped it...but yes I dropped it but after 3 weeks the phone doesn't work..can tsomething like that be?
Try claiming on insurance for accidental damage.

Root using GUI on xda, install cwm recovery by alquez, install rom manager using insinks workaround then using rom manager install Henry's Hensemod that allows you to wake by volume
I'm on my phone. So no links yet

Did you try to put off the button and see if you can "fix" it manually?
I mean, if a small piece of plastic is broken, you should be able to stick it...
I don't know the exact condition, I'm just guessing and trying to help you.
since wfs has only 3 buttons, u broke the third of your phone.... and to make things worse, its power button ...
why dont you go to some phone service, and see if they could fix that button, it shouldnt be expencive, i did that on my htc tytn II....
First of all, I want to thank you all !

Okay.. I will update with links tonight

Thanks, benjamingwynn. I'm waiting 24/7.
Okay 5 days later I come back. I'm sorry for the lateness but I never normally go on XDA on my PC so getting links = problem. Here's step by step instructions:
1) IF YOUR NOT S-OFF - Use HTCDEV and unlock the bootloader.
2) IF YOU DONT HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY/ARE NOT ROOTED - Click here, sign up, click on resources then click testing resources. Download the Auto-Installer GUI. Run the installer (Windows?) and then install cwm recovery and root.
3) Download Rom Manager from the Android market
4) Download Hensemod here, flash it using rom manager.
5) Enjoy Henry's wake by volume feature his amazing sense rom.
Any problems then DON'T BE AFRAID TO CONTACT ME! I will always reply even if it is a few days later.
I noticed something weird here, I backup up my system with rom manager, and flashed cyanogen 7. Cyanogen decided to loop its boot animation constantly. So I think ok restore, go into restore choose menu options and press power button. All I got was a logo from rom manager on screen and nothing else. So after panicing a little I realised something, it would seem in the current version of clockwork recovery that the button assignments have changed, the power button no longer selects menu options but the circular button in the centre of the bottom row of buttons does!
Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone else has similar worries as it doesn't seem to be documented anywhere I have looked.

I panicked too seeing there are still people using that pos software. Ditch rom manager for being responsible for more bricks than most of us these days can count.

Which software are you referring to, rom manager, cyanogen or clockwork. Also what rom would you recommend, I could use one that will handle an ext partition to conpensate for lack of internal memory

rom manager is known for f*****g up phones and CWM recovery has problems to when it comes to partitioning sdcards, ditch them both and go for 4ext recovery its better in everyway.
Oh and bout asking erklat about whats the best rom to use..... well... good luck with that lol

hahaha that would of been funny... dam, why didnt i think of that

Erklat is right, there is no reason to use ROM Manager (i said it before countless times), and do yourself a favor and switch recovery to 4ext.
just looked at 4Ext recovery control, it ain't exactly user friendly is it. Damn thing says it needs updating then refuses to do so, and also insists on busybox which wants to take what little internal memory I have left. Thank god I kept a restore image!
