Can you access recovery via the hboot menu?
If not, have you tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot?
Also, and this would help the most, how did that happen? I mean: did something go wrong while flashing some zip or radio? Please explain a bit further so it can be easier to help you out...

Cant access recovery it just gives me the white htc screen
I havent tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot because I dont know how, how do ya do it?
And as to how it happened I was using unrevoked to flash amonra recovery it and it was "rebooting" but then it said an error about couldnt write to misc or something and the phone was stuck on htc white screen, tried rebooting and nothing, recovery nothing.
So yh i think flashing a new recovery will do the trick, linky to a guide?
Thanks for the quick reply!

I see...well imho flashing a new recovery could do the trick for you.
First of all let me know this: have you got s-off? If so you can use fastboot commander to flash it, very easy and fast.

Moved to Q&A as not development.

s-off? hmm dunno lol
I originally rooted using goldcard method and flashed the rooted zip then many different roms since. recently used unrevoked to get clockworkmod recovery which was working fine and flashed a new rom and then tried unrevoked again to get amonra but then i got to this situation
Hope this helps

Get the RUU your Desire came with and go back to that. Then start again

I have s-on and tried ruu's but failed as have no working goldcard and i have 1.21 on phone and the voda ruu that my phone came with is 1.19
Ive tried the PB99IMG.zip method but that just shows main version higher error is there a way to trick this stage?

I'd just stick to using a stock WWE ROM until the 2.10.161.2 RUU shows up (if at all)

whats the diff between RUU and PB99*.zip? I have the same problem also. Cant access clockworkmod.
Im thinking of flashing it again using PB99 in hboot then root again. Or how can we flash the recovery?

No difference, just that an RUU needs Windows. Both wipe the phone and reset it back to 'out the box'

I see so I can flash PB99 in HBOOT(transfer pb99 to sdcard) then root again?
Or is there another way I can access the recovery or flash the recovery?
Thanks

Just flash the zip from hboot and then root again with unrevoked. Then set the phone up again as it'll be wiped

Thanks! It worked. I'll root it using unrevoked then, how do I make that clockworkmod recovery permanent or something?

When you use unrEVOked it flashes Clockwork Mod as your recovery so it'll be permanent (unless you unroot again)

This might work for of you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

you got the error of a higher main version because you did not have a GOLDCARD.

YAY!!! :-D :-D :-D
Managed to fix it!!!
Managed to create a goldcard using my girlfriends ipad clone which runds android then just flashed an ruu :-D
Really happy now!
Thanks anyway guys!

Hi there.
Sorry to jump in on your thread but wondered if you can help. Have the same problem as you and can't create a goldcard as I can't boot up my phone. Could I use a clone of your goldcard if you were kind enough to email it to me or would that not work?
Thanks,
Matt

Im afraid each goldcard has a specific cid used to create the goldcard
My advice is to borrow another android phone/device with sd slot and use it to get your cid. Theres a handy program on the market to get your cid for you, just search for goldcard on market when your sd is inserted.
When you have the cid go on the internet and get your goldcard image. Put ur sd in your comp and do a full format as fat32 and use hxd to turn it into a goldcard.
Thats how I did it! :-D

[Q] HELP!my evo doesnt Start fully!

i flash CM7 savage rom and gapps and all seems normaly running a great rom but when i turn it off for a bit and then i turn it on...my evo doesnt start fully and its stuck on boot doesnt even let go to the recovery it restarts all over again ...i tried to clear the data or restart the bootloader...and the battery is charge so its not it ...can some one help me with this or any advice what i should do .... ????

Pulling the battery, waiting a couple minutes, and then holding vol+down and power doesn't allow you to access your bootloader?

yes it does but then i try recovery and it doesent work tho.. :/ and i already put the battery out its benn 24 hours like this...

I'm not entirely sure, then. I'm rather new myself, so I'm not too knowledgeable yet. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge will chime in soon.
DirtyShroomz should be perusing these forums right about now... anytime, buddy.

What kernel are you using...had similar problem with sense ROM due to a flashed kernel that didn't play well with custom ROM. You can try to reflash your recovery if you can find a flashable zip of it or a PC36100.IMG of it. Put on root of sdcard and flash PC36100.IMG through bootloader or flash zip through recovery. What does your recovery do when you access it...it wont let you reflash the ROM or what

Please be a little more specific. When you say 'but then i try recovery, and it doesnt work tho', what doe you mean? Does it hang at the white 'htc evo 4g' screen (splash screen) or does it give you a black screen with a red triangle? When you get to the bootloader, it still shows that you are indeed S-off, correct? What happens when you pull the battery, and try to boot normally? Do you have any success? If so, download ROM manager from the market, and use that to reflash whichever recovery you were using, either clockwork or amon ra ( i suggest amon ra) If you are unable to boot into the rom at all, and you're unable to access your recovery, then the first thing to try is reflashing your recovery, using the bootloader. To do that, download the PC36IMG that I'll attatch. That is Amon Ra recovery, version 2.3. Download the zip file, make 100% sure that it's named exactly PC36IMG (capitals matter), and put it on the main directory of your sd card ( you'll need to either use an sd card adapter, and put it right into your computer, or put the sd card in a different phone to transfer the file) You may be able to access the sd card using hboot usb, I don't recall at the moment. Either way, get the file on your sd card somehow. Make sure it's named right, and not in any folders. Then put the sd card back in your phone, and boot into the bootloader. The bootloader should then scan and find the PC36IMG file, and ask you if you want to update. Select volume up to say yes. Once it's done flashing, from the bootloader, select 'recovery'. You should now boot into Amon Ra recovery. From that point, I'd suggest doing a complete wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache), and then flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip (i'll attatch it) Once you're done wiping, then reflash the ROM and Gapps. Reboot your device, and you should boot into the ROM. Good luck.
EDIT: I just saw that you were using clockwork before. I don't have a PC36IMG of clockwork, so just use Amon Ra for now. It's a better recovery, but if you must go back to clockwork, once you're phone's back up and running, you can easily use ROM manager to select 'flash clockworkmod recovery' , and that'll get you back on clockwork. just please be sure not to attempt to restore a clockwork backup using Amon Ra. That's a no no. You need to use clockwork to restore a backup that was made by clockwork. Just so ya know.

ok first i flash CM7 savege rom! then i flash the gapps for the cm7 then everything was alright but then i just turn it off and turn it in again and the bootanimation come in stays there doesent go on and restars it self so i pull the battery off and put the bootloader so i can tried recovery but it Doesent let me in to the recovery ...nothing appears it just send me back to the bootloader again ...and YEs it still shows that you are indeed S-off...and no red triangle it just restarts again .. :/ but thanks for the help i gonna try to see if teh PC36IMG file like ur said and try to put it on the Sd card

Okay, thanks for clearing that up, I got the situation now. Yes, flashing the PC36IMG, following my previous instructions will give you a recovery back. Once you get recovery back, you'll be able to wipe everything and flash the rom again, starting over. Recovery is all you need man!

dude tahnk youuu veryyy muchhh mann that works like a charm now can enter to the recovery so i can flash my restore my files thanks man!

You're very welcome! I'm glad it worked. Now that you have recovery back, you'll be good to go. Just make sure to do full wipes before flashing roms, and I suggest sticking with Amon Ra instead of clockwork. Once you get the system running again, make a nandroid backup using Amon Ra, and make sure to check the 'wimax' box, to backup your RSA keys (you dont need to backup wimax every time, just be sure to keep a good backup around of it). Then you'll have a solid backup using Amon, because as I said before, as long as you stay with Amon Ra, your previous clockwork backups are useless.

I have a similar issue. EVO bootloops twice and then gets stuck at 4G and stays there. I am able to boot into bootloader. It has
HBOOT 2.02 S-ON.
RADIO-2.15.00.09.01
So far I have tried....
Fastboot USB
RUU 3.30
RUU 3.70
Took the sdcard out and put PC36IMG.ZIP for 3.30 and 3.70. HBOT scans it with the blue bar and does the "checking the zip" and then back to bootloader. Does not give me an option to update. Any suggestions? I need help.

Sorry, I didn't see your question before I went to bed last night. So you are trying to flash back to stock? That's your goal. I see you're already S on. So both of the RUU's that you tried failed on you? What happened when you tried to run the RUU, did it give you an error or what? Do you have HTC Sync installed? You only tried putting one PC36IMG on your sd card at a time right? From the way you described it, it kind of looks like you loaded both on the sd card at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can even do that. Anyways, I'd try downloading the PC36IMG from a different source, confirming that you have a good download, and trying again. THe bootloader should scan and ask you to update. The only time I've seen where it doesn't is if the PC36IMG is named incorrectly, if it's in a folder, if the file is corrupt, or if your sd card is corrupt. If you can't get the PC36IMG to work, I'd suggest formatting your sd card (back it up first) then loading just the PC36IMG on there, and try again. Good luck.

Thanks for seeing the question. Tried pretty much everything. I just want it to work thats all. Its never been rooted. Now I tried the RUU for 3.29, 3.30 and 3.70 and they all give me Error 132 Signarure Error. I ran the RUU by putting EVO in Fastboot. I tried formatting the SDCARD and individually putting the PC36IMG. It does loading with the blue bar on the side, then "checking the PC36IMG" and back to HBOOT. Never gives me an option to "volume up" to update. I have done the PC36IMG files on another EVO and they worked fine before. I have tried 2 different SDcards. I got the RUU from shippedroms and also from here on xda. I got all PC36IMG from here. Don't know what else to do.

So, you've never been rooted before? Everything was just working fine, and then suddenly it won't boot up? Just hangs at the 4g screen? Is that accurate? Were any changes made to your phone before this happened? Any unusual apps you added, changes you made, anything noteable at all? Or just 100% random out of the blue?
So you ran the RUU with the Evo in fastboot, what happened? Did the RUU appear to run successfully, or does it error out? Any info on what happens when you attempt the RUU would be great. Did you try downloading a PC36IMG or RUU from this thread yet? I have never had a problem with one from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu. Do you know what software version, radio version, and hboot version you currently had on your phone before it started acting up? Was it the most recent OTA, 3.70 software?
There is annother way to try to flash the PC36IMG using fastboot commands, which I've never done, so don't know the instructions off the top of my head. I'll post back when I find how to do that.
Are you sure you're not getting a bad download of the RUU's and PC36IMG? It's odd that your bootloader scans it, but doesn't ask you to update. That could be due to a corrupted file (bad download) Do you have a good internet connection when you're downloading the files?

The phone was never rooted. I bought it from someone. Practically brand new. No damage at all. I downloaded every single RUU and PC36IMG file from the link you mentioned but same thing happens. RUU ERRORS 132 and PC36IMG files scan and check out but no choice to press volume up for update. Hboot is2.02, radio is 2.15, s-on and the software version when I run the RUU says 3.30. I am stuck at this point. I can only get the phone to recognize fastboot. Help.....

[Q] help!! files cannot be found in clockworkmod recovery.

Hey everyone. I need help here, I am still a noob. Currently I am using a htc desire. i managed to root my desire after setting the install location back to 0. Previously i did what this website ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13557827#post13557827) said, to move my apps to sd since i am still using unrooted stock rom.
Apparently, after rooting, the clockworkmod recovery was not installed properly. it says that some files cannot be found. So i end up rebooting the device.
this is what that is shown in the recovery mode.
clockworkMod Recovery v 2.5.07
E: Can't find MISC:
E: Can't mount CACHE : recovery / command
E: Can't find MISC
E: Can't mount CACHE : recovery / log
E: Can't find MISC:
I tried to update the fake flash for S-ON users from
udK's thread on the clockworkmodrecovery. But the same things as above still appear on the recovery screen. i also downloaded the update.zip file from leedriod and update thru zip from recovery mode. the same thing is shown on the screen. So, Can i still use the clockworkmod recovery to flash custom rom? P.S. i had rooted my desire, the next thing left to do is to S-OFF my desire, partition my sd card and flash the custom rom. What should i do next?
this is the information when i check my hboot version.

Thank you for helping!!

Did you try to reformat your SD card to FAT32? I suggest you do so (unix preferred, as windows isn't as tedious) and do a clean install.

no, i have not reformatted my sd card yet. was planning to partition my card after rooting. i was following the [Video Tutorial] Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide UPDATED [04/04/11][Video Tut] to root my hp. currently i stopped after the rooting step since the clockworkmod recovery is not installed properly. what do you mean by clean install??

can i use amon_ra recovery as a custom recovery for unrevoked 3 and use unrevoked 3 to flash the img ? currently my desire is still S-ON. I had downloaded the recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621 .

Yes you can give that a try though, I highly doubt it has to do with the recovery itself as you were able to start CWM.

You have PVT4 device, which means CWM 2.5.0.7 won't work on it. Either use AmonRa 2.0.1 or CWM 3.x.x.x

I tried to update the CWM 3.x.x.x by using recovery via zip file. After that, same thing happen. Smth is missing and the next time I enter into recovery is 2.5.0.7 again .. what should I do ? Currently my software number is 2.13.707.2 , can I flash the RUU with the software number 2.13.707.1 ? Might want to start from scratch again.

I never experienced problems with that on my PVT4 device. Also has to do with nand alignment?

But my desire had never been rooted before until yesterday. The only thing I did was changing the install location via pc for unrooted stock Rom. But I did not change the location back when I start to root my desire. After that I change the location back to 0 and the root was successful until the installation of CWM recovery.

may i ask, can i use a RUU with software 2.13.707.1 to flash over my current 2.13.707.2. my current one is a rooted stock which is stuck halfway due to the CWM recovery's missing file.

I had exactly the same thing about a week ago and in the end used alpharev
created a ISO CD and installed alpharev and cwm that way was really simple
Once it did its trick took about 5min I was s-off and had working clockwork
Google it worked perfect

oh ya.. currently, i had burn the alpharev into my cd. but my computer wouldn't seem to boot from cd. the options i had in my setup is choose priority of hard disc ( which the cd/ dvd rom is not there. and the device to boot from, only has the hard disc and removable device. i chose removable device but nothing happen at all. what can i do ?

If you can't boot into CD then your in a bit of trouble trying to use the CD option ?
Maybe the USB option might work for you, all i had to do on my pc was F12 on boot select cd once the screen went dark plugged my phone in and followed the onscreen instructions really was that simple.
Have you actually shut down the PC rather than restart ?

Thats up to you, you can always flash back to the 2.4.1.
Personally i think it depends what your after i'm running a GingerBread rom on my desire HD which is pukka good but if battery life is your main priority certainly for the Desire HD the froyo roms still last longer imo, but i can only speak from the DHD perspective as thats the phone i have may be different for the desire...

To avoid later problems flash cwm 3.0.2.8 with fastboot

[ROOT] HTC Desire stuck on Bootscreen after evo³

Hi,
I need some help solving my root problem with my European HTC Desire. I recently got the device itself from a friend. Since both noobs with Android and rooting/flashing, neither him nor me know if it is a branded phone or not. I assume, it's not branded since I couldn't see any brand on the device or in the menu so far. Also, it's still Froyo (Android 2.2) and looks pretty standard.
Same hard facts:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON (additional info: PVT4 erase size = 20.000)
HBOOT-0.93.0001

Software-Nummer: 2.10.161.2
Browser-Version WebKit 3.1
My aim is to get a CUSTOM ROM (preferably mild wild's cm7 JG) on the device. For rooting, I would like to use the unrevoked³ tool, since I didn't find a step-by-step instruction for revolutionary (besides, I don't like to give away my serial number...not trying being paranoid, but, you know..)
For the unrevoked method, I followed the Noob Proof Video Tutorial. I am stuck at "Waiting for reboot..." (in this video @ 2:02 min).
My guess, without knowing for certain what the problem was, is that my HTC Desire doesn't reboot correctly even without connecting it with USB-port, etc. It may be kinda broken (I had tons of bootloops, freezes, etc, pp). Maybe I somehow damaged the phone with the first try to root it? I tried anything I read here during the last 3 days (clear storage, soft reset, bootloader reboot, etc).
I need to get the battery out and then wait for good 10 Minutes, to even boot normally. Often, I just come to enter my PIN for the SIM card, when there's a reboot. Often it reboots even right after the second boot screen ("quietly brilliant").
MAybe it's a heated processor? idk, but even really long pauses wouldn't make it reboot correctly.
I disconnected the USB cable and took the battery out, then after 10 minutes, I put them back in and obviously evo³ continued the process from there ("system to settle...might take a minute" or sth similar). However, my device just rebooted there again and then I had the error code "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."
This is logical, since it reboots when it wants but never when it's supposed to ****ty phoen ^^ (excuse my language)
Any ideas?

If your phone can boot normally, without any reboots, use revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery.
revolutionary.io

Apparantly my phone doesn't boot normally
Thx though
Edit: wow, now it's even stuck during the second bootscreen at "quie..." of "quietly brilliant"

Best would be to flash the 2.3 RUU (sig, put in on sd-card and boot in bootloader), and use revolutionary. You will lose all your data, but at least the phone will boot, and you will root it.
Well, except if unrevoked did install a custom recovery. Check that too.

No, unrevoked didn't make a custom recovery...the boot menu looks all the same.
However, things are really messed up now. I put the 2.3 RUU image on my SD-Card and booted it via bootloader. An update process began. After completion, the phone rebootet several times just up to the HTC-logo, vibrated about 20 times (maybe the 7-times stuff a couple of times in a row).
Nothing works now. I couldn't even boot anything now.
Also, my bootloader shows HBOOT 1.02.001 now.
Radio is 5.17.05.23
Need help!
Edit: after point 9 in the picture, the device reboots but doesn't boto further than the HTC Logo. THen it vibrates 7 times until it reboots again, then it vibrates 7 times until it reboots again...and so on, and so on...all in a loop.
Edit 2: after having the phone rested on my table over night, this morning I put the battery back in and it worked...a bit. It booted correctly and I configured the settings (debugging-mode, etc). However, trying to do unrevoked again, the device stuck at rebooting again.
Still need help, plz
Edit 3: so desperate --> plz help

You don't run unrevoked on it. If it's still in a bootloop, then flash the ruu again, then use Revolutionary to s-off. DO NOT USE OR DO ANYTHING ELSE.
1. Flash the RUU again.
2. Quick configure.
3. Use revolutionary.io.
4. Install a custom rom.

Okay, and where do I get the beta key from? I mean, I am supposed to put my S/N somewhere, but I don't know where.
Sorry, but I couldn't find any instruction on that.
Edit: my bad, I had javascript disabled
Tried it again: SUCCESS!!!
How do I get a Custom ROM on the device now? Can I continue at STEP FIVE - Partitioning Your Sd Card With Gparted in this Noob Proof Video Tutorial or does revolutionary already has some of those further steps included (like preparing SD-card, etc)?
Edit 2:
Okay, revolutionary doesn't root, it just makes S-OFF. I found this perfect step-to-step guide which is in German, though. Sorry for that...

So it worked. You're welcome.
To root, you either install a custom rom from recovery, or you stay stock, and flash SuperSU from recovery.

Scroll down and download the CWM flashable zip.

Well, it worked so far...I rooted und S-OFFed it, I think I even updated the radio to 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 via the app "ROM Manager".
Now I try to partition the SD card, since doing that via ROM Manager from within the phone didn't work, BECAUSE MY PHOEN STILL DOESN'T BOOT CORRECTLY :/
(Sorry, not shouting at you...just let stuff out) ^^
Okay, I'm stuck with partitioning. Currently my Bootloader-Menu shows me that I have HBOOT 6.93-1002. Should I go to http://alpharev.nl/ and rename that
PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip to PB99IMG.zip and boot the device? What is this bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img?
I'm so sorry, but I think I messed everything up. Arrrgh

cm7r2 hboot is a different phone memory layout. Stock hboot has 250 mb system, cm7r2 has less system alocated memory, for smaller roms, and gives you more data space.
If you want to patition your sd-card, install 4ext recovery.

Yes, I want to do that (even with 4ext recovery). My questions herefor is, if
1) this is within the correct sequence (since I still doesn't have the mildwild cm7 custom ROM installed yet)
2) how I do it with 4ext? do I need to rename the files given at http://alpharev.nl/ ?
3) when I successfully partitioned the SD-card, how do I continue? There are 2 Parts of the mildwild cm7 custom rom...
Thx in advance
Edit: I did anything as suggested in the instructions (put it on SD-card, update yes, reboot no). Then I chose "Recovery" but nothing happens. THe phone is just stuck on the HTC-logo bootscreen :/
Edit 2: okay I followed abaaabbbs instructions in another thread/your sig and installed fastboot via adb. (See attch.)
Now I need to wait a while with battery removed since my phone doens't boot at all. I can only enter bootloader menu etc, but not regular boot to android on phone itself. always stuck with HTC-logo and/or vibrating 7 times , then rebooting to htc-logo again... :/

I am still stuck with 4ext (see my screenshot in my last post).
I can't tell if it worked. It seemed to work, but I can't boot any further than into the bootloader-menu :/
Shouldn't formatting take a while? It jsut took 1s via adb
MAybe I installed the wrong radio beforehand? I am so lost ...
Shouldn't my HBOOT say CM7r2 instead of 6.93.1002 ?
I can't enter recovery at all...
It booted...once. To the regular android menu...still it doesn't boot to recovery at all...should I re-install recovery? like CWM?

Yeah try and reinstall cwm, wat rom r u trying?

Shouldn't I change HBOOT to cm7r2 first and make the partitions with 4ext first?
Or do I do it all in one step?
Edit: in one of the seldom times the phone actually booted to regular android, I installed the 4ext recovery again - this time via astro data manager (installed the 4ext-recovery-APK from SD-card). Well, when I enter the bootloader and chose "RECOVERY", it still is stuck at the HTC-Logo...

[Q] ...can't mount /sdcard...."unable to write to ums lunfile"

Hi folks, would truly appreciate some help.
Tried to install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2651790.
After starting up and installing som apps, I rebooted the phone, and after waiting a long time I realised I had to erase the ROM and try again.
So...there you have it. When attempting to flash ROM from sdcard, i got this response: can't mount/sdcard.
Have been searching desperately to find a solution, but am struggeling!
- Clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0
Help, please somebody help! Thanks
Edit:
Have tried this: fastboot oem enableqxdm 0, fastboot oem eraseconfig

Update your recovery. Like i said in the op of the ROM, older versions of cwm may cause problems.

Thanks for your reply,
Seems my SD card is broken, and mouting SD from phone works with another card. But when trying to update recovery to 4eXT putting the PB99IMG on the card, it won't update.
