[Q] Flashed recovery but can't boot into it? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've followed the steps to unlock the boot and flash a new recovery via fastboot (tried both CWM and 4ext).
When I load up the boot menu (power + volume down) and select recovery, it just shows the HTC boot screen (white background, green text) and gets stuck until I remove the battery. I can still boot into the phone normally.
In the boot menu I see:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
RADIO-3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC-boot

What exactly did you do to fastboot flash the recovery? Like, was the phone in fastboot mode? Did the computer recognize the command? Did you run it from the folder where the boot.img is saved on your computer?

Yeah I ran using a .bat file from a CWM guide I downloaded from xda . Entered fastboot ftom command prompt in windows and flashed from there. It reported both copying and flashing of the *.img file was "[OK]". Then I typed fastboot reboot and it loaded up ok.
However when I turned off the phone and used hardware buttons to enter the boot menu and choose recovery, it just hangs as I described in my first post.

What was this bat file? And was the phone in fastboot mode, that is, where you go to hboot and choose fastboot with the volume keys and select it with the power key?

Basically I was following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
And I got onto step 2 of rooting and that's where I'm stuck.
The *.bat file is the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474490.
I was following these instructions to flash the CWM recovery: http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/02/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-htc-desire-hd/

Was the phone in fastboot mode? Were your drivers installed properly (HTC Sync with phone unplugged)? Were you in the folder holding the recovery.img?

Fastboot is disabled, HTC drivers installed properly, phone in debug mode and recovery.img is in the same folder as the *.bat.

I should note that the Android version is 2.3.5 - is this a problem for flashing recovery?

[Q] Help! Can't go into recovery mode with Desire Z hboot‏ (G2)

I have a Tmobile G2 rooted running Gingervillian (gingerbread 2.3.1) and I tried to install the Desire z hboot to get the Sense ui.
I followed the steps here, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg"
HERES THE PROCEDURE OF WHAT I DID:
After updating the PC10IMG.zip (Desire Z hboot) folder to the root of my G2, I was stuck on the HTC logo screen after updating. So I followed what the guy said in the video, deleted the PC10IMG file in my SD card then rebooted my phone.
After rebooting my phone, I was booted back same rom. So I flash/recovery my phone through Rom Manager and tried rebooting my phone to clockwork mod recovery mode.
After rebooting, I didn't go to Clockwork Mod but to FASTBOOT screen? I select "bootloader" and it goes to a quick load that says something like "SD loading, no image or wrong image". I select "Recovery" then it goes to the HTC logo for a split second then I'm back to FASTBOOT screen again.
This is the info on the fasboot screen? don't know if that'll help:
Vision pvt eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (pc1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.02.15_m2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010, 15:65:38
So now, I don't know what to do and my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to go back to the G2 hboot?
2. Can I still fix this and procedure on and install new roms on recovery clockwork mode, using Desire Z hboot? (as the video did)
Please help a brother out I'm still a noob and still learning. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.
Anyone? if it seems confusing, please ask questions or if I need to provide more information. I really need help with this. Any suggestions will help.

would any PP99IMG.zip file work? And do I basically put it in the SD's root and put it into the boot menu to update the file?
Thanks
by the way, is this compatible with G2s?
don´t put the pp99img.zip on your sd !
do something different:
download a recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
be sure to remove any pc10img.zip or so from your sdcard. then put your phone in fastboot mode (power & tp-wake) connect it to pc and flash the recovery through fastboot by typing: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that you should be able to enter recovery. be sure to wipe before installing a new rom...

Yes, you can run adb on a Mac. See the link to my adb guide in my signature (assuming you're not viewing from the XDA app, which doesn't show the full sig).

Okay, just to make it clear (I am a "step by step" guy when it comes to technical computer/phone stuff.), from my understanding:
1. Download the recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision) and put it in the root of my SD card.
2. Delete any pc10img.zip files from SD card.
3. Turn phone off and then turn phone onto FASTBOOT mode by holding power/volume down/camera or power and tp-wake? (Btw what's tp-wake? and during this process, is the phone in fastboot screen mode while I'm about to type the "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
4. Connect to computer, open up terminal (Mac) and do the ADB process and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Wipe clean and install new rom in recovery mode? (Clockwork Mod recovery mode?)
PLEASE correct my steps or add in any steps that I'm missing. I bought my phone rooted so I never went through these steps before. Anyways please correct me, I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is already.
anyone can review my steps?
good morning
ad step 1: don´t put it onto your sd; put it into the adb tool folder on your pc !
ad step 3: tp-wake = the square button at the bottom of your phone (the one that acts like a mouse); to enter fastboot mode press power & tp-wake
...the phone should be in fastboot mode while typing the command.
before you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" type "fastboot devices" and look if your phone shows up... if so go ahead with flashig the recovery (by the way, you may have to rename the recovery file)
step 4 and 5 look fine...
good luck
okay, I will try it in a little bit here.
In FASTBOOT USB mode, it wont recognize my device but when my device is fully on, adb works.
I get when I type "flashboot devices" (while the phone is on FASTBOOT) in terminal and get:
"-bash: fastboot: command not found"
By the way, I renamed the downloaded flash to "recovery.img" and put that file in the "platform-tools". Don't know if that'll work.
The "fastboot" command should be on your PC in the same folder as the "adb" command. Where did you get adb from, did you install the SDK and platform tools, or something cut-down ?
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
hm... that means that you do not have fastboot installed. maybe google for fastboot on mac, because i have a linux system... so i can´t help you in that point.
other thing you could do is following this guide (it´s a pc10img.zip with dz hboot and clockwork recovery):
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
but first i would try the fastboot method - it´s safer.
Okay, I got the fastboot devices to read my phone. But it cannot load my recovery.img?
This is what got when I typed in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
rename it to recovery and try again...
It's not loading the img file for some reason..

Reverting the bootup logo to HTC logo

Hi,
I previously rooted, flashed a custom recovery and flashed CM 7.2 ROM on a HTC Desire GSM. It's been a long time so I don't remember the exact steps of rooting and flashing the custom recovery, but I get a "Why so serious" bootup logo every time. I wish to revert to the stock HTC logo. Are there steps to achieve this?
Thanks.
Alpharev.nl there is an instruction there. You basically have to flash the splash image via fastboot
via xda app
1. Download the WVGA splashscreen img file from alpharev.nl
2. Put device in fastboot mode
3. Check fastboot device connectivity from PC by issuing from terminal:-
Code:
fastboot devices
4. Flash with command:-
Code:
fastboot flash splash1 yourdownloadedfile.img
Thanks. I've downloaded the spash image but I'm not sure how to boot into fastboot.
I tried issuing fastboot command in my host PC's terminal as well as an adb shell but there's no such command. I've looked at the reboot menu and there's no fastboot option either, only reboot, recovery and bootloader.
"bootloader" will get u there, just select fastboot n press power to select.
turn off ur phone then hold back + power, that gets u straight into fastboot. Android Flasher is good for changing splash screens if ur not comfortable using fastboot commands. google it

HOX no OS

After unlocking my bootloader, I decided to flash ViperX and my phone got stuck in the white screen stating "HTC quietly Brilliant". I tried pressing the power button for a few seconds and it would go back to the same screen. I can only boot into Hboot and Fastboot USB. I tried botting into CWM recovery and realized that it it's gone. I've also tried using ADB but no use as it can't detect my device. Any help would be appreciated as I dont want to send the phone to HTC at the moment.

Boot into fastboot and type 'fastboot erase cache'.
Then boot into recovery (should work this time).
If it still doesnt work, then flash CWM again.

.) Open the .zip file and copy 'boot.img' to your fastboot folder. Or the folder you use
.) Turn off your phone and enter the bootloader (Hold the Volume Down and Power Keys while off).
) Select 'Fastboot' by pushing the Power Key.
.) Plug your phone into your computer using a USB cable.
.)Now go to your computer and open a command window inside the fastboot folder (Hold SHIFT + Right Click on any white-space).
.) Type 'fastboot devices.'
) Type 'fastboot erase cache' and push enter. This can fix problems with bootloops or bootfailures.
.) Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and push enter. It should say 'OKAY' if successful.
.) On your phone, select 'HBOOT' using the Power Key and scroll down to 'Recovery' using the Volume Down Key. Push to Power Key again to select it.
Once in recovery you can navigate by tapping the screen or by using the Power and Volume Up/Down Keys.
.) Select 'wipe data/factory reset' and accept the warning screen.
) Now select 'advanced' and select 'wipe dalvik cache.'
) Select 'mounts and storage' and then 'mount USB storage.'
.) Copy the .zip file you downloaded (Don't unzip it!) onto the SD card of your phone.
.) Unmount USB Storage on your phone and navigate back to the Recovery Homescreen.
.) Now select 'install zip from sdcard' followed by 'choose zip from sdcard.'
.) Select the .zip file and let it install.

[Q] DHD stucked on boot logo

Hi all
I have a little trouble with my phone, because I did some stupid things on it...
I had android 2.3.5 with 3.12.405.1
So first I unlocked bootloader with htc-dev page, and now I know I shouldn't do that. Then after I found here a post what describes what should I do if I was noob and use the htc-dev. I followed the instructions so I can use the revolution hd zip and installed it.
After that reboot my phone and stucked on the htc boot logo. I can reach the 4text recovery menu and everything but I have no clue what should I do now. I tried the factory reset and everything what I found. Maybe I have to put back the original rom, but I don't know how to do it.

Hey
Thanks for the help, I'll try it afternoon
I did exactly the same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31211732&postcount=396
The procedure to do that is -
1. Download the attached zip file, extract it to Desktop or wherever you want using 7-zip/WinZIP.
2. Open the ROM zip file you downloaded. Extract boot.img from this zip to the previously folder which you just extracted in the above step.
3. Turn your phone completely off (pull out battery). Then hold 'volume down' while pressing power and continue holding it till you see a white screen with 3 green skateboarding Androids. This is the bootloader.
4. FASTBOOT will be the first selected option in the list. Press 'Power' to select it. Make sure that now it shows FASTBOOT in red under the initial green text.
5. Connect your phone to computer. See that the red FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB.
4. Open the adb_fastboot folder, open 'Start here.bat'. It will open a command prompt window in that folder.
5. Type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'. You only need to do this once. It will flash 4ext Touch Recovery, which is better than CWM (thanks to madmaxx82 for the awesome recovery).
6. Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. You will need to do this everytime you flash a custom ROM, but before you do so be sure you've copied the boot.img from the ROM zip to the adb_fastboot folder.
7. You should see some stuff like 'Sending data... data sent successfully'. If there's any error at this step report it here.
8. Once it has done everything and displayed successful confirmations, disconnect phone.
9. Hightlight BOOTLOADER and press 'power' to select it. Press 'volume down' to highlight RECOVERY and 'power' to select it.
10. Once you're rebooted into 4ext Touch Recovery, go to 'install zip from SD card', browse for the ROM zip file in your SD card. If you haven't copied the zip to SD card, go back a step, connect phone to computer, select 'toggle USB storage' and then copy it onto the SD card. Once you have the ROM zip on the sdcard, go to the main screen of the recovery, choose 'wipe/format'->format all partitions (except SD card). Now go back to main screen, choose 'install zip from sdcard' and browse to the ROM zip location, select it and confirm that you want to flash it.
11. When the flash process is done, go back to the main screen of recovery, and press reboot now. You will reboot into the custom ROM.

After reboot I stucked on the htc boot logo screen.
If you are s-on, then you have to flash the boot.img from the rom you installed using fastboot.

[solved] [Q] Igorance stuck at boot screen

Hello XDA,
i have recently been using CM10, but seeing the latest news I wanted to install "Ignorance v3" in my HTC One V. So I prepared the .zip file, set it to the sd card, and then installed it with ClockwordMod Recovery. I setup the system with the first Ignorance dialogs, where I choose to wipe all my data, from sdcard too. After that the phone reboots and now it's stuck in the Ignorance Boot animation.
I searched in the forums for help, but the thing is, int this state I cant shutdown the phone or access the adb.
