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.

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

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 rooted my slide months ago and have been installing new roms regularly using Rom manager and manually by booting into recovery.
I just downloaded and installed cyanogens new 6.1.1 release and when I booted the phone I get the usual request for me to allow Google's locations services and I click ok. Then I get touch the android to begin screen and when I touch the android, nothing happens. I did this over and over. just stuck.
So I just figured I would restore my back up via nandroid... I tried to reboot into recovery and pressed Vol down and pwr. I am only getting the choices of
Fastboot
Recovery
Clear Storage
Simlock
I select recovery and I get a triangle with an exclamation point.
And now I am stuck What happened?? More importantly, What do I do to fix this??
Please help ASAP I am very nervous!!
When you go into recovery, aren't you supposed to then hit Vol Up and Power and then wait a bit?
When I prees up then power it just boots into the "touch android to begin " screen that does not work

when you get the exclamation triangle you press vol up + power and then select apply update.zip, then you can restore your nandroid... your only problem here seems to be a bad flash, just wipe and reflash cm6 or restore the nandroid... obviously you are doing something wrong when trying to go into clockwork recovery so dont panic and do it as you did when you flashed the rom man
God Bless you. It's Fixed and restored!!!!! Thanks a ton!!!!

I just recently flashed the RUU to be expecting the 4.3 OTA soon and I wasn't able to grab any OTA updates. You can do it manually. I linked where to download the .15 firmware below.
But download it. place on your internal storage and you'll be able to flash it in the stock recovery and update that way.

haha I'll try to make it simple.
Download the file here to your phone. http://d-h.st/QMZ
Go into Settings, Power, and make sure Fast boot at bottom in unchecked.
Turn off phone
Turn on phone while holding down the volume down button. This is called your HBOOT. You will navigate using your volume keys and select button your power button.
Navigate to recovery and press the power button
Wait a few seconds, Next hold the power button with the volume up button for 2 seconds. If nothing still appears, then just press the power button. then you'll get some options on the screen.
Navigate and select apply from phone storage. Navigate to where you downloaded the file above to and press power button. It will be under the 0 folder.
After it flashes. Select reboot system and your phone will restart about 2 times.
The instructions above are for if you are wanting to update to the latest firmware. When the next firmware comes out. Follow the exact same instructions above but with the new firmware zip.
@Flyhalf205
Will it erase something ? And will I find the next software update ? And do I need root or unlock bootloader for this ?

First off you must not have the Verizon one cause we don't have 4.4. But these directions on first page are for someone who is completely stock. Is that what you are and you have the 4.4 ota file trying to flash?

I'm trying to up date my parents Nexus 7 to 4.4.2 but it refuses to install.
The device advises that the update is available. It downloads without any issues. The device reboots and starts the install process. It reaches around 20% and displays "ERROR" with the android logo lying flat with an exclamation mark.
The device is brand new and has not been rooted etc. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

When you see the android with exclamation mark hold down the power button and while you are holding the power button down press and release the volume up button. You are now in stock recovery. Use the volume button to highlight "wipe cache partition", press power button to select. Once that is done select reboot. Maybe wiping the cache well have helped. Try the update again. If that doesn't work, you have two choices that I can think of. Try a factory reset or adb sideload the update, for adb sideload you need a computer with adb setup on it. If it was rooted with a custom recovery there would be other options. Good luck!
To get to stock recovery... with the tablet off, hold down the power button and while you continue to hold it down press the volume down button until it boots into the bootloader screen. Use the volume button to select "Recovery mode" then press power button. Now you will see the android with exclamation mark again. Hold down the power button and while you are holding the power button down press and release the volume up button. You are now in stock recovery.

Hi, thanks for replying.
I have tried this to no avail. I do however have further information regarding this error. When I press the power button and up I can see that it says "/system/lib/libchromeview.so" has unexpected contents. Does this mean that the software is not suitable for this particular device.
This all seems very strange as it's a brand new device and I'm getting the software from google directly?

The OTA will check the "System" to see if anything has changed, if it thinks anything has changed then it will fail. The update should absolutely work for your device. If a factory reset doesn't give you the ability to do the update, and I have my doubts, return/exchange it. Don't wait too long! Otherwise you need to use adb and at the very least, flash the system image to fix the problem. I personally can't think of any other options that you have. I don't know for sure but maybe there was an app that changed "/system/lib/libchromeview.so." Maybe the Chrome Browser or Chrome Beta. Try and uninstall the Chrome updates and/or Chrome Beta if it is installed. Settings/Apps/All.

No problem!
There's no need to exchange for what's a relatively simple software fix. If you search the forums, you'll find easy-to-follow instructions for unlocking the bootloader, then flashing the stock recovery and latest ROM.
I no longer trust Google's OTA update process anyway. Flashing the full stock ROM ensures you'll start with a perfectly clean slate.
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!

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.

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
