Can't do anything in Recovery, shows blank screen - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm new to the HTC Wildfire. I rooted it with unrevoked first. When I start CWM 2.5 and choose on of the menu options, it only shoed a blank screen. I pushed power again and was back in the main menu.
So I upgrade with a RUU to get the right hboot. After it I S-OFFed with revolutionary and have not revolutionary CWM installed. But there is the same problem. I choose a menu option and only get the big "REVOLUTIONARY".
What am I doing wrong? I want to flash CM7

You use the trackball button to select things in recovery, not the power button your recovery is fine mate. Buttons are as follows.
Power button = back
Volume down = down
Volume up = up
Trackball = up and down
Trackball center button = select
enjoy

OMG, sooo simple.

You saved me!

[Q] HELP..!! Can't get past the white HTC screen

My first post and I hope i'm in right section. I have just tried to root my htc desire and install 2 roms.
The rooting of phone worked fine [I think]. Came up with super user permissions so guess I got that part right. Now the problem.
I then went to upgrade it from 2.1 to 2.2 using radio zip file and defrost zip file through ROM manager but now can't get any further.
My htc is now stuck on the white htc screen when I switch it on and when I try to do the recovery by holding down the back button while pressing the power button I don't get any joy.
HELP!!! How can I overcome this? Your help would be very appreciated
go to recovery & wipe cache etc then reload the rom

On MyTouch Slide (not sure if is the same on every phone)
You first Hold Down Volume button and don't let go while then press Power button, with volume buttons and power to select Recovery.
And that's how I go to recovery... then proceed with whatever you must/want to do..

Rom Manager, I don't feel like using it to flash a Rom, I'd rather follow instruction for the normal way.

[Q] Need Help for Upgrading my Defy

Hello guys,
I need help for upgrading my Defy to the last blur-less rom in 2.2.1.
What I did :
I had the motorola 2.1 stock rom.
I used superonclick to root my defy.
I had a custom recovery installed maybe the one with superoneclick.
I used Rdslite 4.9 with this rom : 3.4.2.-155-2 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978792
I flashed my device, it restarded, it booted with the "M" of motorola and the "android" logo and that's it, it doesn't go further.
I tried after that to flash differents .sbf of differents versions but some bricked my phone. I reflashed to the 3.4.2-155-2.
Now I still have the booting sequence until "android" logo. I can boot in "flash mode" 9.10 and I can boot in recovery but only to the trinagle, when I click on the bottom right of the screen it doesn't do nothing. edit : In fact I found an other post that says that we can boot in recovery by pressing up volume and down volume button at the same time.
What can I try now ?
Thanks for your help
edit : It's ok now, I could wipe my date and now it works fine. A lot of stress but it's ok now.
OK I've just recently upgraded my 2.1 to the UK 2.2.
When you go into recovery & you see the android logo the bottom right hand of the screen only works in 2.1 I believe so for 2.2 you need to press the volume up & volume down buttons both at the same time. This will take you to the recovery screen & you then use the volume button to choose the action eg; reboot, clear data etc & then press the power button once to confirm that action.
Hope that helps

Currently running revolutionary recovery.
Hey
Try using your trackpad button in selecting options!!

Use trackpad or volume buttons.

Had somting like that to, but taping power button dit the same as the option to go back. I had to tap volume down and up almost at the same time, then after doing this a few times the tablet put somting on the screen and power button worked as normal again. if you dit the taping of the volume buttons again, after a few times power button worked as go back option again..

Install TWRP recovery.
Nice 1 ZN..
I would run the script for the bootloader unlocker and when the door and lock pop up make sure you use the vol down button to select lock then the vol up button to execute. You need to do this before fastboot times out. Once you are sure the bootloader is unlocked go to the apps and theme section and look for the Acer Recovery thread, follow the link then download the Acer Recovery Beta app. Once installed select clockwork mod revision 1.7 and flash the recovery. Your recovery should work fine after this.

[Q] recovery clockwork touch doesn't work

Hi,
I've got HTC bravo, Android 2.2 and tried to install recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-bravo.img. First, I executed revolutionary. I now have have S-OFF and my hboot has been changed to HBOOT-6.93.1002. I flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-bravo.img with fastboot and the flashing was done. When I boot in recovery mode, I get the recovery menu all right but when I want to select an option, I just get this nice hat on the screen. If I power again, I come back to the menu. Something doesn't work as it should do.
Many thanks for your help.

Use the middle button to choose I think that's what it is?

Thanks for your reply. Not too sure what you mean by middle button. I know of the top button (power) and left (volume buttons). Now I should mention that my phone is Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-OFF, maybe that version of touch recovery doesn't work with PVT3?

The scroll wheel at the bottom?
It's also better to use another recovery 4ext recovery touch.

- He means the middle button on the front of the device. It was used for selection in older recoveries by pressing. You can also press it down when booted into the os to actually select things, and scroll in text input. You also have home, menu, back and search buttons on the front
- PVT3 has nothing to do with it
But forget about either of these things for a moment...
You're using a touch recovery. Therefore have you actually tried selecting by touching the screen...you know...how it was designed to be used??

Thanks for reminding me this elementary action, which I hadn't tried, yes, tapping the option does work and I have my backup in progress. Thanks.
