Can't pass HTC screen - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys i have a question regarding the htc splash screen. I rooted twice today just to test a few things.
When i rooted for the first time i used windows 7 + hboot drivers from unrevoked3 site and flashed/rooted my device (stock rom (froyo)). Everything worked fine but when i run clockwork recovery mode and select the backup option i get something strange.
My device is backing up and it says it's done, when i select the reboot option my device get stuck at the splash screen and reboots, hangs, reboots, hangs, reboots etc. I need to pull the batteries off to get back in recovery mode. This time i select restore and select the backup i created before all this happend. Now it's passing the htc splash screen.
Because i thought i got problems with the windows drivers i decided to root with linux, so i installed the official ruu update over my rooted rom and root it under linux to make sure i am a bit saver.
Now when i do a backup and reboot again i get the same thing ? it hangs at the splash screen. Is the unrevoked recovery tool bugged (clockworkmod) ??? because when i restore with the backup i created it is passing the htc splash screen again.
I don't understand.
(Sorry for my bad English)
PS: I used this rom to root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828519

As far as i know you need to root only once..i guess rooting again n again may hav messed wid phone..nt sure though..wait for a reply from someone who is experienced..i hav been using android since past 3 months only

What you could try is this.
Use unrevoked again, but in unrevoked select a alternative recovery image.
Then load this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
This is the amon-ra recovery. And for the record, you can root with unrevoked as many times as you want
Btw, you are sure that you waited long enough? If you restored a nandbackup, booting the phone can take 5-10 minutes

Oo..i thght it is similiar to jail breaking tht needs to be done onl once...lolzz

You really didnt read well didnt you ? it already happend the first time i rooted . Secondly, if i root and install a official ruu update over it everything will get wiped and cleaned....so there would be no problems when i decide to root.

Yeah i am sure....after backup the phone showed me the menu screen that i could select options such as rebooting the phone. When i reboot after backup it doesnt get passed the splash screen and reboots (and those steps gets repeated). If i don't use recover....my phone is dead

- Flash a stock ruu (rom)
- Then root again and use amon ra.

This seems to be a documented problem with Unrevoked. The first reboot after rooting and backing up Nandroid seems to hang the system for some, and restoring the Nandroid fixes it. After restoring the Nandroid (as you did) there should be no further problems. And since you did that, your problem should have been fixed. And since you restored to a rooted copy, why did you have to try again with Linux? Your problem was already fixed by the Nandroid Restore..

unrEVOked isn't the issue, Clockwork Mod is...just use AmonRA instead

Thought the 1st Nandroid Restore fixes it..Does Clockwork mod still pose probs?

Clockwork Mod is the issue - flash AmonRA from the start and you won't have this issue (or I never have anyway, use AmonRA as you can partition SD cards in it)

I have the same issue can't pass htc screen and with 2 black lines.
I will flash RUU then root by unrEVOked. My question is how to flash/install AmonRA, do i have to flash using Clockwork will it override my recovery? Sorry guys noob question...

I didn't have 2 black lines, mine rebooted after it couldnt pass HTC splash...i needed to remove battery or it keeps rebooting.
What i did with clockworkmod is restore (the backup you created before rebooting)....this should fix the problem. If this is not the case then i don't know because i never rooted before. You should ask a expert.
Anyway because i needed to restore anytime i posted this topic, people said i should use AmonRA. So to do this i installed the latest official ruu (posted by EddyOS) (to make sure everything is clean and good again). Then i used linux to make sure it is saver.
When you downloaded the unrevoked3 tool open it and don't plug you phone yet, go to options and select custom recovery. Now select the AmonRA (latest version i used) to flash with unrevoked3. Now plug in your phone and relax.
The only thing i am scared off is to flash hboot to go s-off.

Actually the cause of this problem was when i have tried the method for s-off...sad...

When i run unrEVOked it says this thing....
Device "/sbin/sh:getprop: not found
"is not supported at this time.

Try flashing true Linux. Download Ubuntu and this way you can boot your pc in linux.

Could you please give me a step by step guide on how to this unrEVOked if i have already booted up to linux? Im not familiar with the codes.

Oh Boy...Huge Error...Help Requested

Okay. I've search around and haven't found anything yet.
I recently got a new evo and rooted with the Unrevoked 3.0 beta RC2 yesterday. All was going well until I tried to upgrade to the CM 6.1.2 this morning. Google apps wasn't installed so I flashed the zip which put me in to a boot loop with Clockwork.
It was giving me an error when I tried to restore the backup. I tried to flash pc36img.zip and now whenever I go into recovery I am in RA-evo-v1.8 which I am unfamiliar with. I've tried installing other ROMs via this recovery but the prcess is aborted each time.
Any help would be more than appreciated. I am literally stuck.

Need any and all information about your phone. I also notice that you are new. The dev section isnt for Q/A there is an entire section dedicated to solving these issues. Please remember that next time. Keeps things cleaner. So please gather anything you can about your phone. Method, Hboot, Version, Radio, Anything that can help anyone here identify something.
Do you have the rom in the root of the usb card? If so try full data wipe and installing the room see if it boots up.
Thanks for the quick reply. Will remember. Desperation has gotten the better of me. I will move over to Q/A if you prefer.

if your able to boot up into a rom download Rom manager and select flash clockworkMod recovery or flash alternate recovery thats prob gonna be the easiest fastest fix (considering it works)

I agree with this method... the best way to determine the recovery to use would be to go into the terminal and type
Code:
cat /proc/mtd
if you see "400000" then you need to get the clockwork v3.0.0.2 that supports this phone partion layout. If you see "20000" then you should get amon_ra 1,8 from here:

The information I gathered was from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894331
Making sure you have the correct recovery is the first step. Once that is done create a nandroid and save it somewhere to ensure that the wimax partition is saved.
You have to flash the modified version of Amon_ra found in Zikronix thread. You can find my thread that points to it or just search for hboot 2.10 and follow the instructions in that rooting thread. It seems you're already rooted so just flashing the recovery is probably all you will need.
I haven't used unrevoked, and I know there are several versions. But I have seen others who have used unrevoked and couldn't flash anything bc evidently the method they used to root didn't install the flash_image file on their phone.
I know that installing flash_image fixed being able to flash for some people who rooted with unrevoked.
This issue came up and I was able to help some people, if you check near the end of fastRX8 thread. But I was only able help point the right direction, they figured out the rest of the way. The OP there has the flash_image file and tells you what terminal commands to install it.
I don't know how for you to check if you gave it or not, as I can see mine on sd card cuz I put it there when I rooted.
Beyond this suggestion, lithid can probably help much better than I.
But def post your hardware version, root method, and hboot version (you see that when you go into bootloader and read the top line.

you should flash the pc36img.zip located at the bottom of zikronix's root thread. good luck. just put it on the root of ur sdcard named as pc36img.zip and boot into bootloader. accept the update, and say no to the reboot. then pick recovery, and flash a rom. you need to stay with this recovery if it works for you.

==========================================
FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

OP flash the PC36IMG in the bootloader to load this new recovery, then you can go into your new recovery and flash a new rom.
i just rooted my evo with the unrevoked beta.hboot 2.02 it installed clockwork and through that i switchted to the aman ra after that i did a nand backup, powered off my phone and when i turned it back on it was stuck in the bootloader loop. the only thing that eventually worked was installing the sprintlovers pc36img. that got my phone working again. just tried to nand backup again and the same thing happened. does this mean that i need to flash that broken recovery?

Were you restoring a backup or did you stuck on loop on a new rom flash?
i wasnt even trying to flash a rom yet. i was doing the very first nand backup so i could check some roms out. after the backup was complete it gave the option to power off so i did and when i turned my phone back on it was in the bootloader loop. so i went back to recovery, wiped everything, restored nand and i said it restored but when i rebooted it was back in the bootloader loop.so i just search around trying to get help but couldnt find much so i put sprintlovers since it boots up right when you turn your phone on. now it wouldnt even nand backup it said some error and was in the bootloader loop again so i just reinstalled sprintlovers, again
Try downloading an actual rom in zip format (not sprintlovers pc36img) and see if you can flash a new rom fresh. Make sure to wipe everything.
Try using Caulkings format all zip in recovery to wipe your caches.

[Q] Problem with rooting/flashing my desire

I got some problems after using revoked last night.
I followed the guides on the forum and looked through quite a few threads about my problem but couldnt find anything about it.
I did the hboot usb driver first which worked.
Then i did the unrevoked root which i think worked, looks that way.
Now i'm following the unlocker guide on how to flash.
But the guide is not following the stuff i get.
When i press volume down and power i get into the boot loader.
I select fastboot, but then there is no option to recovery as the guide says. I do however have a recovery on the first page that loads.
if i use the first page recovery i get into a clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7
i do as the guide says, and wipe data but at that stage the screen just goes black. If i press power again i come back to the first clockwork page and nothing seems to have happened.
seems to be the same with every option i choose.
So got a few questions.
1. How can i check my phone is actually rooted.
2. As i understood it it's not possible to back up the original rom? Is this correct?
3. If it is possible how can i do it?
4. What might be the problem with the flashing, clockwork etc? Am i doing something wrong?
Hope some one can help with this as i want to test how the new android version that came out is for playing games as i'm a ceo of a new android game company
Your phone is rooted.
You can make a nandorid (Backup in recovery) now.
There is no problem you just need to use the trackpad when in recovery. Both to navigate and to confirm.
doh, thanks, had totally missed that about the trackpad ie i'm noob
Hi
I rooted my htc desire with unrevoked method and entered clockworkmode recovery and made nandbackup. After reboot my htc deisre hang with logo on boot. I can stil acces bootloader and clockworkmode recovery. Whats wrong?
This is quite common.
You can do a full wipe and restore the backup you have made.

tnx for quick reply, if i do that do i lose root i have just made with unrevoked? i rooted my htc only to remove unnecessary like wether, news etc.
No, you will keep root.

Stuck on boot screen! Help!

Hi!
I bought a Desire HD a week ago and today I decided to try one of the custom roms. I rooted it with Visionary+, turned s-off with the one-click tool found in another thread, installed Rom Manager and Clockwork mod and then flashed it with a custom rom from the recovery/boot screen without wiping anything.
The problem is, when I later tried to install another rom, it wouldn't boot, it's stuck on the HTC boot screen. I've tried reflashing it, wiping everything there is to wipe and I even tried RUU but it won't recognize the phone. Can anyone help me how to restore to the normal stock rom?! I can bring up the Clockworkmod recovery menu if I take out the battery and put it back in.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this! Consider that I'm a noob though so try to write the instructions as simply as possible
Hi, I'm basically in the same boat (I take it you tried one of the stable CM6 builds?).
Digged through an awful lot of stuff, found something about downgrading clockwork.
Maybe this'll help you, I'm still having trouble.
I've found an older clockwork recovery image, gathered all the SDK bits and pieces, got my USB drivers set up after even more digging - now this:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
It's rooted, S-OFF, all that good jazz. Halp. :<

Which version clockwork mod are you using? And what is the ROM you tried to flash?
Sometimes custom ROMs can take 5 minutes to boot...so give it some more time and see if that helps.

seems like your pc is not recognizing your phone. And should not you flash the recovery first and then boot?
I did flash the recovery via Rom Manager, which gave me Clockwork Recovery version 3.0.0.5.
Then I had Rom Manager download CM6, it rebooted the phone, phone gets stuck in HTC splash screen.
According to the thread I linked above, I needed to downgrade Clockwork Recovery, hence flashing 2.5.x.x via command prompt.
The drivers are installed correctly, I'm at least sure of that.
Recovering my previously backed up stock ROM won't get me further than the splash screen either, same with wiping everything that can be wiped before that.

Then use ROM manager to downgrade the CWM to 2.x. You can do it under the option "All recoveries" in ROM manager. People are reporting problems with the latest version of CWM. Check if you get the same if you wipe everything and install another custom ROM.
Can't find a way to even get past the first splash screen - only thing I can properly access is the Bootloader.
Same here. When I boot I just see the initial "HTC" logo, nothing else.
I had Mike's Revolution HD ROM installed and working just fine, and then I tried to install another mod, which got me to this situation.
I have CWM 3.0.0.5 and I have a nandroid backup of the working system from before installing the last mod.
I tried recovering the nandroid, which goes smoothly (including the MD5 validation of the backup) but it still doesn't boot afterwards. I wiped the boot, system and data partitions and tried restoring again - same result.
I assume my next step is to flash a new ROM but unfortunately I don't have any ROMs on my SDCARD, so I need a way to push it there. I tried with fastboot but it doesn't recognize a partition called "sdcard". I believe adb should work while I'm in CWM but it just says "error: device not found".
Any suggestions?

Sorry, no idea which version, but it's the default that comes with Rom Manager. I downloaded Rom Manager yesterday so I guess it's the most recent Clockwork mod.
Left it for 15 minutes, still nothing. I used Android Revolution HD 2.0.11 for the first flash which worked and then when I tried to install Pays-ROM HD Sparta 1.0 I got stuck on the boot screen. I've tried recovering from the previous backup I made on the recovery screen with no result.
Just got mine back alive
Flashed CWM 2.5.1.3 and restored the nandroid with it.
Spending the last few hours searching the forums my best advice is to avoid 3.0.0.5
Went a different approach - finally figured out that you could mount the sdcard via Clockwork Recovery, threw newest CM7 nightly on there and installed it with Clockwork as well.
CHRIST that was a pain in the ass... and I thought downgrading the stock ROM was annoying.
as a rule i have found out cwm3 is for flashing gingerbread and cwm2 is for froyo

the REMOTE NOT ALLOWED error means you only have radio s-off, so you cannot issue fastboot commands to your device.

I,ve managed to successfully go through the whole Unrevoked process, selecting custom image, yet I still have the old cwm recovery
Unless I run update. Zip. Or start. Recovery from rom manager I'm still using the old version. Is there something we are doing wrong or is there another method

I have succesfully flashed it with unrevoked. Downloaded it from here http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img
However first time it stucks at htc logo and then unrevoked says "waiting for root (safe to reboot if not working)" or something similar, so i disconected phone, pulled battery, booted and stared all again. This time everything went fine.
Only problem was that rom manager was still saying that im on 2.5.0.1, so downloaded this http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.zip and copied into sdcard\clockworkmod\download\mirror1.kanged.net\recoveries\ and deleted the old one from this path.
Hope it helped...
Finally managed to flash cwm 3.0.0.6 using Unrevoked 3.14. Unrevoked 3.2xx just didnt seem to work at all for me. Recovery is now a joy to use, and performing nandroid backups seems much faster
Sorry for the stupid question, but where can i get version 3.14? when i go to unrevoced.com i can only get version 3.32 wich says "Device Wildfire not supported".
Strange because I've rooted my Wildfire on this PC with unrevoked, so all Drivers are installed and it should work. I think it's a problem with the new version.
thanks in advance
Can't remember where I found it, but I still have it. I'll upload it later
After instal recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img tru Unrevoked v3.14 there is problem with ROM CyanogenMod V7.0.0-RC2 superuser dont work i need to flash back with RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed.exe then again run Unrevoked v3.2 and after that do restore with 2.5.1

You can't update recovery from ROM Manager. We don't have s-off.
Edit: In fact I'm not sure if ROM Manager can do it even with s-off.
My rom manager recovery is 3.0.0.6
I have described few posts back how i manage to do it.
And i also have fake recovery 2.5.0.1 i some zips have amend script and i dont have time to convert it.

I meant, you can't permanently flash your recovery via ROM Manager. For that you need to use a reflash tool (Unrevoked for us) or use fastboot if you have s-off.
Oh, that, right. Sorry, my mistake.
Flashing recovery without rooting
Is there a way to flash a recovery using unrevoked without rooting?
I really need to send my phone to my carrier so I'm worried that they could find I've been messing around with it and void my warranty...
Ruu it from windows

Are you having 2 superuser app conflicting each other after flashing via Unrevoked 3.14 as it is described in other threads? (ClockworkMod v3.0.2.4)

[Resolved] Changing recovery issue

Hi there,
Today, I wanted to change my Amon-ra 2.0.0 recovery to version 2.0.1, because I read somewhere that nandroid backups would fail. And it failed once...
I launched Unrevoked, then I switched the recovery, and started the process. It went right until I got stuck at HTC logo. I had to reboot via the 3 keys combination. Once rebooted normally, I went to the recovery, and the version installed hadn't changed.
Is there any other solution to get this recovery flashed, in order to be able to perform a backup and flash the new RCMixHD 3.4.1 with A2SD+
Thanks !
Yes, but you need to be S-Off for that - the fastboot method.
So the only way to change my recovery is to s-off my phone ?
Also, I forgot to mention that I tried to flash it with Terminal emulator, with the command :
Code:
su
flash_image recovery
and I got error message stating I was running out of memory, and the process couldn't end properly.
Becasue you can not modify the NAND while in boot (S-ON).
Try unrevoked 3.21 with the RA Custom image you downloaded.
That's what I did previously, but it didn't work... I'll try later when I'll be back from college...
Use fastboot or revoked method.....

unroot then run unrevoked again with newest amon ra chosen as recovery
I did this today
First u need S-off if u want to flash another rec., easiest way.
Just go to http://alpharev.nl/ download the Iso Utility,do like the instructions say,burn it,and boot it.Turn UsbDebbuging on,plug the phone and follow 3 ez steps.
After i recomend this tool for flashing the new recovery,takes 2seconds http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823315
Thank you all, i'll try this after the champions league match. Is there any risks with s-off ? Was it safe and painless ?

Turns out I didn't need to s-off my desire. I'm a fool... Everytime I launched Unrevoked, I forgot to run the program as admin... 2 minutes ago, it popped up to my mind, and abrakadabra, it worked !
Yeah, that was necessary
BTW, you can brick your phone if you are not careful with the S-OFF procedure.
