Hi!
I recently rooted my Desire with unrevoked 3 and I installed the ReflexS rom. Everything worked perfectly!
I was curious for Cyanogenmod and I downloaded version 7.0.3 directly through Rom Manager. When the download was completed it suggested to install which I agreed. I think clear Dalvik cache was marked, but clear data cache was not. I agreed... maybe my first mistake.
After this Cyanogenmod was installed, but my Desire stayed on the boot screen (sakteboarding android with running arrow) for over 30min so I took out the battery. I restarted and it goes well until the android setup screen "tap the android to begin". I can tap and it gets glowing, but it does not continue! I can not go any further than this. The only thing I can do is choose a language or shutdown.
To overcome this issue I thought of recovering/reinstalling my previous ROM. I also have a Titanium backup.
Now here's the problem: when start up into recovery, my volume buttons won't work so I can not enter into the recovery menu.
What should I do?
I'm getting desperate, because my phone is down at the moment!
Thanks for your help!
you mean volume buttons dont work in recovery or in bootloader ?
in recovery you can navigate using trackpad, in bootloader you must wait around 10-15 seconds until you can use volume buttons to navigate.
and yes it was a BIG mistake not to make a wipe before the flashing of cyanogenmod....
you should have done a full wipe
Ok will firstly, go to the Cyanogenmod stable topic to read how to install out. Secondly, avoid rom manager. Thirdly, to boot into recovery, boot your phone like normal and plug your phone into your pc. After about 20 second the usb will kick in. This is where you use the adb reboot recovery command in command prompt or terminal. Enjoy.

What if your phone doesn't boot into recovery in this case and you get an error that says "FAILED (Status Malformed (1 bytes))"?

You can alwys get into recovery through the adb shell.
Hi.
I know this tread is old but the issue is relevant because this is still a persistant problem.First of all thanks for the tip and second i have great,great news !!! you dont even have to deassemble the phone to put the up down button to work.Just insert the alcool UNDER the volume button with a seringe with a needle and click the button for a minute or two...wait until the alcool evaporates and VOILÁ !! problem fixem !! Not need todeassemble or using adb.Just do this and you will be fine.
when i decide to change rom, after flashing kernel by fastboot and power on phone, I can't going to recovery by pressing volum down.
is there a command for fastboot to boot phone to recovery without pressing volum down?
Use adb i.e. adb reboot recovery
Many ways to do this...Easy wasy out,try an app like rom manager which gives u a direct recovery boot option,or u can use comand line prompts from ur PC ..or use terminal emulator..type in /system/bin/reboot recovery..

i connect phone in fastboot mode and use adb reboot recovery but not working! "error device not found"
Forgot, you can only be connected to adb if the phone's active or in recovery. When it's rebooting are you repeatedly pressing the buttons or holding them?
Hi, I am having a simlar issue. I flashed the Lupus kernel and after i turned of my phone, I pressed the volume down button while i turned the phone on and once it loads it just goes into safe mode. Am i doing something wrong?
EDIT: I was holding the button down. Not pressing repeatedly. All good now. Thanks.

Hi amir143!
You could try installing x-Parts (a free application from the market).
Good luck.
I thinks it's kernel dependent..
try pressing Vol-down OR backward button several times when the LED lights OR the phone vibrate OR the logo glow from normal after powered-on.
On my HTC One V I unlock bootloader and rooted it successfully. It was working fine, but about 1-2 weeks later, when I was chatting with my friends on Messenger, it was starting to lag like hell until i couldn't do antyhing. I tried to turn it off and on with the power button. When I turned it on, firstly the logo "Quietly Brilliant" appeared and then...there was just a black screen. The phone was still turned on, but just with a black screen.. a slightly lighter black screen. I tried to turn it on and of. I can go to fast boot mode with Volume down+power button. I tried factory reset, but there was still the black screen. I send it to the manufacture, but they said, that the hardware is destroyed, because I've changed it. I think they mean I changed it with root and unlocking the bootloader...but I think that's not true? I don't think root or unlocking bootloader can change hardware. Yet I tried to unroot and relock the bootloader, but I can't do It if I can't connect my phone to my pc anymore. So my questions are:
1)How could I change the hardware?
2)How can I connect my phone to pc?
3)Is there a way to save my phone?
4)How does the manufacture know, that my phone is rooted when it can't be turned on, or connected to pc
5)Do they just lie about the hardware, so I must pay for it?
first of all, are you gsm or cdma? (do you have a sim?) If you can access bootloader, then you can fix your phone (99,9% of times). all you need to do is flash another rom with the correct kernel

Yes, I have s sim..so I have gsm i think? Right now, the manufacture is sending me back my phone. What is the bootloader exactly? Do you mean the combination of the keys volume down+power button?
If yes and I can acces to bootloader, how can I flash the rom with the correct kernel? Does it mean, my phone will be back to normal like it was at the start?
If I can't acces to bootloader, is there still a way to repair my phone?
btw I can't connect my phone to my pc...at least It didn't worked.
Don't worry, when you get back your phone tell me. If you can access your bootloader we will get your phone back to normal :thumbup:

first thing, when you get your phone back access the bootloader, hit fastboot and connect the phone to the pc (then after some seconds try vol up or down), it should say fastboot usb. tell me if it does (write it here)

When It's turned off, I hold the volume down button and power button together for 10 seconds. Then I let it go, but there's no bootloader mode. Before I sended it to the manufacture, I somehow did it, but I don't remember how.

Hey sorry I have to go to school now.. I'll write a little guide as soon as I come back, be patient. In order you have to unlock and root (if you haven't done it already), flash a recovery (I suggest twrp recovery, you can find it in android development or original android development-This also only if you don't have that already), factory reset from recovery, mount usb storage, copy rom to your phone, unmount, flash the rom, reboot into bootloader and flash the correct kernel found in the rom thread. This should work. I'll give you a hit when I get back tough.

Its bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted. Now for the recovery i found this:
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/119
They say I should download the newest recovery img, access bootloader, select fastboot, plug the device into computer and run the command:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img into command prompt right?
Yes its right. Then you boot into recovery, and mount usb storage and with the pc copy a rom into the sd card, then unmount, from the recovery go to wipe - > factory reset, once it's done go to install and select the zip of the rom. When it's done, go back to the home page of recovery, and from there press reboot bootloader. Now do fastboot, and from the pc, put kernel in fastboot folder (the same place where you put your recovery to flash it), open cmd and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, wait for it to complete, reboot and enjoy!

When I type "fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img" into the command prompt..it tells me:'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
Have you downloaded the fastboot folder? And have you located it in cmd?

Do you mean this?
Yes, now create a folder on the desktop called fastboot and copy those files in that folder. Then in cmd type cd desktop (enter) cd fastboot (enter), put the recovery in that folder, connect the phone on fastboot usb and type the recovery command

Weird, I don't know how you would lose fast boot. I'm not sure if this will work but can you plug into your computer and boot the phone up and try to use adb to boot into fast boot. I think its adb reboot-fastboot or adb reboot fastboot. Or try adb reboot-recovery or adb reboot recovery. I can never remember if you need the hyphen in adb.

Follow Step A and Step C #1-2 from here to get adb and fast boot setup on your computer. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 After you get it setup, you go into the platform tools folder which you will download as part of Step C and right click and click command prompt, then enter those commands I gave you. How did you root and install a recovery the first time?

Here's what just happened
my brother gave me this phone,
it has a slimbean rom which is my first time seeing that rom
i just go to settings
and click the factory reset
when the phone boots up i can only access the settings no other thing after that
i managed to get into the recovery mode of that rom on the settings
and install the rom again which is still on the sd card
then after the installation is completed when it boots up its now stuck on boot screen
and im screwed
i tried the universal naked driver but no luck device is still not recognized
I see. You're not supposed to use factory reset from the settings. You should only be doing that from recovery. I'm really not sure what else to do, my knowledge is limited on this. Hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in. I'm sorry I'm not able to help you on this. You tried using the platform tools to open a command prompt?

yep maybe thats my last luck hope it works, you think usb jig might work on this ? well thank you so much for your time and for trying to help me may god bless you always
No, theres no reason to use a USB jig. It's driver issues or something else simple, I'm just not site what. Not trying to get on you but it helps to know what your doing before you mess with things. If someone else is able to help you figure it out, do a lot of research in the general stickies before you do anything else. I hope you are able to get it going again and sorry I couldn't help you further.
I can't boot up my device it's have blink sleeping android error. (my device is ze551ml running WW_2.19.40.22 firmware and never ever ROOT!!! )
I tried hold power button and press volume up button but its doesn't work.
I also can't access to recovery mode too.
It's have the same blink error message and can't pass by hold power button and press volume up button.
Oh but i can access to fastboot page.
and my computer don't recognize my phone at all(i already install driver)
Before this problem happen I get in to recovery mode try to wipe cache but i miss press and i selected "apply update from adb"
and that time my phone doesn't connected with PC. I don't know what to do so I turn off my phone.
then I open recovery mode again and select wipe cache then I go out to take a bath.
I came back and see my phone is off so I boot it.
It's booting about 2-3 mins and nothing happen so i go to recovery mode again but this time they have problem like i explain before(blink error message that can't pass by hold power button and press volume up button)
So anyone have a solution for my problem. please I really need your help!
Sorry for my bad english
Hi,
I had this when I went to wipe my system cache and it failed. Your best bet, especially if you can't get into recovery is to fastboot flash the recovery again if you have an unlocked bootloader.
If you don't you'll want to unlcok the bootloader and follow the instructions for using ADB if you're new to it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596

If you hold volume down and power, it should go to bootloader first, then you have your choices for recovery....Get it to the bootloader screen, then run the commands to unlock it...
Could you please tell me everything step by step on how to cure my phone?
I'm very noob.
okay thank you.

Hey I'm having the same problem, how'd you get the computer to recognize that the phone was plugged in? My computer does not recognize that the phone is on when I have the flashing error screen, so ADB doesn't recognize that there is a device connected.
Hi,
I had the exact same problem, and I managed to boot up again thanks to you!
What I did :
Install ADB and Drivers
Boot my phone into Fastboot (Power+Volume Up at boot, keeping VolumeUp button pressed while booting). Don't go into any menu (do not select recovery or so). At this point your computer should recognize your Android phone when you plug it in through USB.
Open up a cmd with admin rights, navigate to adb install path by typing : cd C:\adb
Then type : fastboot erase cache
It should trigger an action on your device, and the prompt should display sth like "Cache successfully erased" (I don't remember exactly)
Finally type : fastboot reboot, press volume up while booting again, and access Recovery like usual!
Now you can try wiping your partition cache again.
Worked like a charm for me! Thanks a lot
