[Q] Can not boot in recovery mode

Just flashed shipped rom by the way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826465
Then installed Visionary to root, it was OK.
Then did a "one click radio S-off" it was ok.
Then installed ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery .... Everything was OK. Then I reboot to Recovery mode, screen burst upon with "!" symbol in triangle and halt ...
Try to do many ways ... but nothing happened better.
Somehow I got mistake or something went wrong? Because before re-flashed the rom said above I can boot into recovery mode without problem.
Please help.
Thanks.

You need km flash the clockwork recovery image over the top of the stock recovery. Flashing with ROM manager is a fake flash and not the real thing, have a look at the stickies have flash the recovery then you'll be good to go,
Good luck

Blinkydamo what are you talking about?? Rom manager flashes it just fine. It just has a bug, that sometimes users have to flash cwm twice.
So, HkDng, just try to flash clockworkmod again using rom manager.

Thanks jkoljo.
I tried to flash using rom manager many times but still failed.

Try to remove the rom manager and install it again.. And check in bootloader that you have S-OFF.

Personally I would flash the recovery from fastboot, at least then you know if it's worked or not, I am finding rom manager a little flaky with the latest cwm 3.0.0.5, and end up using Clockwork recovery directly for the time being

LeeDrOiD issue

I have a HTC Desire HD. I am currently trying to Install LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.5.1. I am using this guide.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703)
I have rooted my phone using VisionARY, I have also Applied Radio S-OFF. i installed rom manager and Installed Clockwork Recovery, but then when i try to install the rom via rom manager, i click on boot into recovery and the phone restarts and goes to the white HTC screen and it freezes there and i hav to take the battery out for it to work again.
I have also tried to use the bootlader to get into recovery but the same thing happens again.
What do I do?. Thanks

Are you sure you're using the right file? Because the link you posted goes to LeeDroid for Classic Desire.
Have you checked the MD5 of the ROM?
How long have you waited with the splash screen? It can take up to 10 minutes on first boot.

Sorry i meant this
(forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D842802+site:forum.xda-developers.com+Leedroid&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=u)
Yeah I checked the MD5

How do manually flash Clockwork Recovery as I think that will solve it?

sorted! Yes! I had to do a flash clockwork recovery manually. Thanks

One question though. If i want to go back to normal. (How i got my DHD) Is that possible? So i can use official HTC/Android software/firmware

just flash back the nandroid backup u did (assuming u did do a nandroid backup before u flash)

ROM Boot logo looping problem?

Hi guys.Every time I flash .zip with any rom on my HTC Desire , It installs fine.But when I restart the phone I can't pass the first boot.I Pass the first HTC white screen logo but then when the rom boot logo shows up , it keeps looping permanently. This happens with every rom ... What am I supposed to do to fix this ?

anyone ?

how do you flash the rom? with "install zip from sd"? from what recovery?

yeah, clockwerk rec

you don't have to wipe after flash.

I don't wipe after flashing the rom... I wipe before that ,
I just restart after I flashed it

Only this rom works... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
I have ext 4 - 1gb..
I want to run this Runny ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526831
Is it possible ??

Please tell me the process, the steps that you do. Are you s-off? Some roms need s-off.

my phone is with S-off
it's rooted
I have hboot 0.93
clockwerkmod recovery
1.I full wipe
2.install the .zip Runny Rom 5.5 from the SD Card
3.Installation complete
4.Restart the phone from the clockwerkmod recovery
5.The phone turns on , passes the HTC white screen , and the the ROM Boot Picture keeps looping...
?????

Did you do a full wipe by selecting advanced-> wipe /data /system etc., , all one by one? Try that and see if it helps. Don't forget to flash the ROM, though.

yes I did that... still the same s***

still not working... still looping the flashed rom boot

Upgrade your recovery to the 4EXT Recovery, then try again. Might work
Edit : does your cwm recovery contain the needed touch drivers ?

Try 4ext recovery: touch or classic. In the classic one's thread you fan find IMG file that you can flash through fastboot or with Android Flasher, that is easier.

I installed 4ext recovery classiv R6.. I enter the recovery.. wipe everything.. and it is still the same ROM Boot looping.. what else do I need ? I did everything in the requirement list...
rooted
S-off
ext4 sd 1gb
4ext recovery
stock Hboot...

Try redownloading the ROM, might be corrupt?
EDIT: Just realise you said any ROM so its very unlikely its that.
Or try a ROM without SD-Ext...

Reflash hboot, maybe switch to cm7r2.
Wipe all folders exept the ones your files are stored in.

Another problem could be the ext4 partition, if the steps above won't help, use 4ext to recreate ext4 partition.

I would do it like this :
Backup everything.
Change recovery to the latest 4EXT touch recovery.
Wipe everything including the sd card.
Start from scratch and also repartition the sd card within 4EXT recovery.
Copy the rom to sd and check the md5 within 4EXT recovery.
Flash it and boot up.
If this doesn't work than It's abacadabra to me !!!!!

I did all that , (the installation of the rom took longer)
but now I'm stuck at the white HTC boot screen
PS:It has passed to the ROM logo , but now it is just stuck .. not looping like before

Just wait .... it might take 5 to 10 minutes.

help wont boot

i just rooted with s on and i flashed a custom recovery then rebooted. htc logo came up, and then a black screen its been like an hour with the black screen and it wont boot. i know that normally its takes a long time to boot a fresh rom but this is ridiculous. and i made sure that i flashed a cdma rom marvelc. what do i do!!
i can still boot into the boot loader though

Dude im no expert in HTC phones but you had to turn s-off when rooting your phone. If you made a nandroid backup your in luck reflash your stock rom back and this time root with s-off and enjoy flashing plz hit the thanks button if i helped.

Boot into hboot with volume down + power. Scroll down to recovery and push power to enter it. All going well you should go into your recovery. If you get a red triangle with an ! Then you still have the stock recovery.
OK now scroll down and make a back UP!!! After that factory reset the device, wipe cache, dalvik cache. Data. Everything aside from your sdcard. Then reboot the device. This should get your device operational again. Reboot should take no longer than 15 minutes.
After that choose a custom rom to flash, or just go about setting up the phone as you want.
When you go to flash a new rom make sure you back up first, then wipe everything bar SD card. Then install the rom and reboot.
Good luck pal

actually when i was rooting the recovery wasnt working for me the tool tried to made me go into recovery but i was stuck at the htc logo. but the tool also offered to install twrp or clockworkmod i installed clock and still wont stuck at the htc logo so i tried twrp and it worked and then i got rooted.
i think i might be twrp that doesnt install roms right.
also i installed a rom it worked but no wifi and wifi was the most important tool for me so the rom is ussless to me

Thank you you for replying but I did some experimenting around and I found out that the clockwork mod was a marvel recovery
I have a marvelc wildfire so I went to rezo609 folder and found the recovery img and replaced it with a clockwork marvelc img.
Then I opened the prompt selected install clockwork mod, it installed
Then I went to recovery, worked and installed the cm9 rom (marvelc) and gapps and It successfully worked
You were probably right its beta so it has some bugs
But thank you all who tried to help me I really appreciate it
Sorry I just started so I deleted the URL

no problem buddy always happy to help.

Desire boot loops and I can't get into recovery

I've been happily running CM7 for the past year and yesterday while I was browsing the phone suddenly turned off and starts bootlooping, I then tried to get into recovery to flash one of my backups but I couldn't get into recovery anymore. I can get into the bootloader (vol down, back and power key) but if I select recovery from the menu it starts bootlooping again. I was hoping someone knows what's going on.
I used revolutionary to root the phone, had clockworkmod recovery installed (don't think it was the latest version, haven't updated it since I've installed it a year ago) and was running CM7.2 (latests stable version).
I also apologise in advance because you guys must be sick of people asking what to do with a 'bricked' phone but I'm still hoping someone can help me.

You have the explanation how it all works in my signature.
Just flash recovery.img via fastboot.

Thanks for the post, I'm guessing you mean the third link? running the RUU? in that thread there is a link 'http://htcdev.com/' but that link is dead.. so I can't get it there but I will google around to see if it's somewhere else.

Not sure what link you said is dead, they all work. I meant on this one "Before Crying for Bricked Device - How Nexus One and HTC Work ".
All you need is recovery.img download it from here:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
and flash it via fastboot.

Both your ROM and recovery are bootlooping. But importantly your bootloader is fine and therefore you can easily recover. First get your recovery in order by flashing recovery from fastboot. Thereafter when you are able to get into recovery flash your ROM in the normal manner or restore your nandroid.

Thank you both! I flashed the recovery.img and could get into the recovery mode again! it's restoring my last back up as we speak, so hopefully it's working again.

If it all work go here:
www.4ext.net
and get rid of that buggy cwm recovery.

Well.. today it started bootlooping again in the same way as described in the first post and now the method I used yesterday to fix it doesn't work anymore. If I flash a new recovery.img now and subsequently try to go into the recovery mode it starts bootlooping again... so now I'm wondering if I should just flash the RUU via pc to at least get my phone working again... do you guys think that would work?
edit: can I even run the RUU in fastboot usb?

RUU is the solution if all else fails. But only use 2.3 Android RUU. And remember to downgrade hboot first.
Before you get into that I would try :-
- Flash a different recovery and try to get into recovery. But this time dont restore your nandroid. Flash a ROM afresh.
- Remove your sdcard and try to get into recovery. Wild guess !
- Also try formatting your system, sdext etc partitions as given in Bortaks thread.

I tried flashing a different recovery (amon ra) but that also didn't work, when I tried to get into recovery mode it got stuck on the HTC boot screen (with some weird extra lines through the image).
I will try to remove the sd card.
Another weird observation, the phone doesn't seem to be charging anymore, at least... the led doesn't turn on when it's plugged in.. it get's weirder and weirder.

like handy says full wipe, wipe/factory reset, wipe dalvik and format all partitions except sdcard then do a clean install of a different rom. restoring the nandroid, u could just be restoring the problem.
edit: just read ur post bout charging, looks like HW not rom or recovery problems
Sent from my HTC Desire

yeah but the weird thing is that this started this morning, I charged it last night (when all of this stuff was already happening).

Run 2.3 ruu as fast as you can, you're on a good way to hboot or radio brick.
