HOW DO I GET IN IT???? i mean i tried everything, volume up, downm power, everything, it used to work, not it doesnt work anymore, just can't load it up, please help, i'm trying to install 4.2.2, but i can't get in this stupid recovery, who the **** designed it to be this way in the 1st place.
Hold both volume up and volume down while powering the device on. This will boot you into the bootloader, you then scroll through the options with the volume rocker and select reboot recovery. And it will reboot into the stock recovery. You will first see a Droid laying on his back, here you will need to press volume up + power to be able to get to the options of the recovery.

I don't know what to do because my device is currently not booting. The device is stuck at the HTC logo for a very long time (both when booting normaly or going in to revovery). The device finaly is finished booting in like 10 min. , but when it is finnished booting the touch on the screen doesn't work, it keeps a black background and it says no service. In revovery on the otherhand the optical trackball doesn't work anymore, the hardware button does tho because the first option "Reboot system now" does work.
What should I Do???

Have you tried using the volume up / down buttons for moving around the menus and power button for select in recovery?

The volume up/down buttons dont work in recovery
Now its just stuck in a bootloop .
And there is no way of wiping the device, because the trackball isn't working.
hep would be greatly appreciated
The first thing I would try is to remove the SD card and see if your phone boots.
If that doesn't work. Have you tried putting fake flash on your SD and booting into recovery on that to test your trackpad?
Why has it started playing up in the first place? Did you have a bad flash? A wee bit of the history of your device might help to find out what's going on.

the trackball isn't working in the fakeflash. The whole problem didn't happen after a bad flash, but it just went in a bootloop when i tried to put it on this morning. I was running Defrost 1.4
You don't need trackball in the fakeflash. You navigate there using volume up and down. It should work. Try .
How about resetting it by doing the following.
Switch it off, or remove battery > Hold volume down and power button > wait a few seconds > use volume to go to clear storage > power button to select. This doesn't involve going into recovery so your buttons might work there.
Can't you get into the bootloader mode with vol. down + power and wipe it there?
Edit: Few secs too late heh

You need the trackpad to select the option after choosing it with volume up/down.

No, it says clear...... and then it just restarts the bootloop
The fake-flash worked!!!!!!!
I deleted everthing there but now, when I boot up the device it boot up straight into fastboot
You could try now using an ruu to flash. Or try getting into recovery and see if you can use the buttons now.
I'll try a ruu, but the recovery still wont work

The Ruu doesn't boot past the quietly brilliant signiture.

Im having the same issue. Phone locked up pulled the battery and phone stuck on HTC boot logo. Can get into recovery but no buttons are working so i cant recover. That actually happened before but i could get it sorted by flashing using rom manager as i could boot the rom.... Where can you get fake flash?

version I currently have, maybe not the newest (0.14), but works just fine.
i heard that you simply hold down the VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON at the same time to boot into recovery, however whenever i try it does nothing until i release my finger from the POWER BUTTON and then it just boots normally.
what's the proper way of doing this with this phone?
thanks
[EDIT] as stated below, i got it to work. rather then powering off completely and trying it, i ended up just doing a simple reboot and then it worked.

Did you flash the recovery correctly? Try reflashing it if it won't work.

i got it. apparently i was doing it incorrectly. i was powering down the phone completely and then attempting it.. i finally tried to just 'reboot' the phone and then it worked.
go into "settings" click "power".. and make sure "Fast Boot" is un-checked.
Same here. Even though Fastboot was disabled, I cannot boot into recovery from off state.
If I power up the phone normally, then select restart, and while the phone is rebooting--I press and hold the down volume key; THEN it boots into the menu that gives me the choice of booting into recovery.
Oh well, it worked...
Hello Root, bye-bye bloat!
Waiting for some CM7 goodness to spread our way.
I had me phone sitting beside me. I had just turned off the screen. Then it randomly started bootlooping. I can get into the recovery screen ( Fboot, Hboot, Recovery, Etc... ) I think it might be the power button some how?? It doesn't boot loop until I turn on the phone. I've tried different batteries. Got any ideas??

Have you tried installing a new recovery? I recommend downloading SmelkusMod Recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543. Download a zip version such as PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-aokp.zip to your computer, rename the file to PC36IMG.zip (watch out for Windows hidden extensions), copy PC36IMG.zip to the root folder of your EVO 4G's sdcard, and power the phone off. Then simultaneously press and hold the volume down and power buttons until the bootloader starts, allow the bootloader to scan for updates, and press volume up to confirm that you want to install the updated recovery.
So I downloaded the Stock Recovery from Mr Hofs Collection of Stock Recovery thread in General Section.
I flashed stock recovery, all went well. I attach picture of command prompt to show.
After I flashed it though and went to recovery it just gave me a black screen with a little phone in the middle, in the middle of the little phone was a red triangle with an upside exclamation mark. It was stuck like that for the better part of half an hour(pressed volume down with power, held power alone for minutes on end) nothing. No writing on it nothing.
Luckly as I was busy starting this thread now it just rebooted on its own and went back into the system. Is it totally fixed now or will it give me problems when I go into recovery? Should I go into recovery again?
How do I check if stock recovery is fine now or if there are any problems? I don't want it to hang and/or brick now.
Please if I made a mistake somewhere, tell me what I did wrong for future reference, I don't think I did anything wrong with commands
You can see at bottom of command prompt to, I even tried fastboot devices / adb devices to see if it picks anything up because I get the sound the computer makes when it's connected to USB so the computer at least picked up something.
Should I sell the phone now? lol
Boot again into recovery using the method you described. Once you see the android with red triangle image press and hold the volume up key and then press the power button while keeping the up button pressed. You'll enter the stock recovery.
This is the normal way of booting into stock recovery. You are fine!

I tried going back into recovery, got to the screen with the triangle and and pressed volume up and power button like you said. Instead of then taking me into stock recovery, it just vibrates and then reboots the phone.

hmm...i am running TWRP on GPE so i am not able to test this directly. Let's try one more time, but this time follow these steps:
- go back to recovery and wait for the red triangle screen
- wait for 5 - 10 seconds (don't think this is necessary, but try it anyways)
- this time press both volume up and down keys, and while holding them down press the power button
hopefully this will work. Otherwise i can try on a friends phone in the morning and give you the right combo.

What are you hoping for? You have stock recovery installed now. You seem to have discovered why there are custom ones.

With no recovery options, is that right though? It doesn't show me anything written on the screen and when I press "up volume and power" this should take you to some options, it gives nothing, it just reboots.
Not right then? Or will it still work fine just as it is now for OTAs?
P.S I have tried all methods given by umsheikh, I downloaded quickboot to try it, I did an adb reboot recovery to see if I can go through there, did it manually, shut off, wait a bit, turn back on go to recovery press power, wait 10secs press up and power, nothing, all of them just reboots the phone. It's bugging me lol
If you say it's right though and there is no need for me to actually see the options that it gives and I'll still receive my OTAs etc then fine, I'll leave it then, but I don't think it's right, is it?
Getting into the options is fiddly, but it sounds right. Try fastboot erase cache

Thank you, clearing cache worked, I see options now in recovery :good:
When i try to boot into recovery, my phone tries to install the update and it won't go into recovery. is there any way to delete the update file ?
bump
Do you have an MOFD_UPDATE file on the root of your phone or SD card?
If it's an OTA, it should delete after the update runs.
wipe cache

Hold power button and press volume up key a few times or until you get to recovery menu. I got stuck like this for a little while too until I realised I'd skipped a step to get to recovery...
Oh, I was thinking that it actually started an update, then errored out or actually ran an update.
Yeah if it's just the dead Android icon, that's normal. That's what happens when you boot into stock recovery on these phones for some reason.
As stated above this post, just hold the power button for a second, then press the Vol-Up key. Once you get the timing down, it'll be really easy to do, but you might have to try a few times to get it to actually kick into recovery.
Don't hold the power for 5 seconds or it will reboot. Make sure you let go of the power button after you press the Vol-Up key.
This will happen every time you boot into recovery when you have stock recovery.

It actaully starts an update. thats the problem. i get the fastboot menu, select recovery and it trys to install update and fails
It's not actually updating. That's just what it does.
When the dead android shows up, hold power for a second and press Vol-Up while still holding the power button. Then release power when the recovery menu shows up.
