Anyone else having this problem?
I'm using Unrevoked 3.1 on Windows XP.
I've got USB debugging on and the drivers installed.
The phone reboots into HBoot but then never goes into recovery. Just reboots.
Anyone else having this problem? It is definitely screwing me over for 2.2 haha.

Superuser will not install. Unrevoked just reboots the phone it seems... never going into the custom recovery or flashing SU.
Which is my problem haha. I want 2.2 but can't flash it without root.
If I lose root because of this and am the only one I'm not going to be a happy camper lol
Possible
After reading 700+ pages of the other thread I have decided to steer clear from the buggy-beta and wait for the OTA, but I have had trouble with v3.1 and a regular reboot, so I wanted to chime in with 1 question:
Is your phone hot while this is happening?
I returned my Incredible due to excessive heat triggering reboots. When the phone was in the warm-to-hot zone, I could NEVER get into recovery. I could get into HBOOT, choose recovery, and then it would do 2 reboots, the second one being a regular.
Only way i could get into recovery was with a fully charged overnight battery, first thing in the morning (phone nice and cool).
Just got into it. used the custom image... the new 2.5.0.4 (if I'm not mistaken).
It was weird, and it may not be the image... it may have just taken like 10 tries to do it.
I'm not even wasting my time loading the OS... just putting on Froyo right now while in clockwork.
Crossing my fingers that it loads!

having trouble after i got the new ota loaded. I get to the reboot phone reboots then unrevoked says waiting for phone to reboot any ideas didn't have this problem before?
edit: never mind got restarted computer life is good now
I am having the same issue. I have installed the drivers, then when I run the reflash tool it reboots my phone after about 3 seconds and loads up HBOOT and then from there it reboots my phone and the reflash tool either says "waiting on phone to reboot" or "installing image" or something like that but it just sits there for hours and doesn't progress. I have debugging enabled.
To add a little history, I already rooted using the hard method awhile back and then unrooted. Now I am trying to root again and can't.
My DroidX always enters bootstrap recovery mode everytime i turn it on or reboot. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I ever had the same issue and then flashing the SBF cleared the problem. But that's the time when I haven't injected the RUIM. Since I'm not on Verizon, i'm afraid that if I do that again my injected number will lost. Is there any solution for it?

This is the benefit of.bootstrap, it hijacks the boot process. Consider it a blessing that may be a slight inconvenience until the one time.something happens and your.phone doesnt.boot, then it will.be your.saving grace.

Dude, are you kidding me? I don't want grace. I want the bootstrap recovery to appear only when i need it to appear.
So is this what happens when I flash the ROM that already has bootstrap recovery feature inside? Coz i'm using Liberty 1.5 right now. So you're telling all people using Liberty experience this?

I can't remember where but there's a checkbox that might be checked that starts your phone in bootstrap. Go through the liberty settings or it might even be in the toolbox...

I think there's no any checkboxes in the toolbox. I'll try looking for it in the Liberty setting
From the home screen hit menu, settings, Liberty settings. Then unchecked the one that says to go into recovery everytime.
With the nature of the bootstrap it is better that it is booting to it. And you will think the same when something goes wrong and you can't load a recovery. Remember there is no way to boot into recovery by holding a key like other phones.
Got it, dude, and it still goes into recovery even though I have unchecked the option.
I wonder if the ROM got bugs because i got some FC in the Liberty setting even after I reflash the ROM and got the fresh Liberty toolbox from the Market. Damn this thing just start p#@*%g me off.
Easy fix. Someone helped me when mine was doing it. Get or go into an app called root explore. Open it up and go all the way to the bottom and click on system then bin then at the top of the screen click where it shows RW it then should show RO then scroll down and find "hijack" long press and delete then scroll down and find "bootloger" delete that then the next one is bootloger.bin long press it and rename it to just bootloger just get rid of .bin and your done. Just remember to use bootstrap to get back into recovery when you need to.

Why are you even rebooting your phone enough for this to bug you? I reboot my once probobly once every three days just for fun, i dont experience any slowdowns or anything its just me deciding why not.. You make it sound like you reboot your phone voluntarily every hour or something for no reason
Secondly yes, bootstrap on reboot is a blessing not a curse... What happens if you start liberty up and you get a CONSTANT force close that does not go away and keeps coming up no matter how many times you click close?? Your phone will be INOP and you wont be able to do ANYTHING or even get to the manual bootstrap menu.. therefore having to SBF.. WAY better to have an available bootstrap whenever you need it automatically
I've done this about three times and never had a problem I got this information from someone that I trust and knows more about this stuff then I will ever know. Its not hurting anything. I can still get back into recovery through bootstrapper every time with no problems. I wouldn't post this if it would mess up anyones phone. After you do this you need to use bootstrapper to get back into recovery but you can
Someone helped me with a problem and im just trying to pass on what I've learned. Just to make sure it doesn't hurt anything I just did it to my phone and used bootstraper to flash apex on my phone with no issue.

So what happens when you screw something up and get bootloops? Difficult to access bootstrapper when you can't get past the boot animation or even boot logo.
The point of it starting first is in the event of said bootloops you can get into clockwork and restore. From what I understand if you turn off your phone you wait about 30 or so seconds and when you turn on your phone it will skip clockwork, it only pops up when you do a battery pull or if you shut down and power back on right away.
Why are you turning your phone on so much for it to be a pain? I reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days and it doesn't bother me one bit. If you're complaining against measures that are there for your benefit then I don't know what to say... Deal with it.
It works for me. I've had boot loops and have always been able to get in recovery. So is he just supposed live with it. I do turn my phone off ever night I like to give my phone some time off and by doing that I've never had to replace a battery. We all do things differently. He can do what I've showed him or not its up to him.

Easy, boys. I appreciate the replies. The reason is I just dont like having to meet bootstrap option everytime i turn on the phone or reboot it. I never have bootloop even until now with this DX, even if I do, it's me who have to deal with it. So you see? The why-question is all about me. No offense but lets just stick to the how-question.
@spacecasespiff
So how do you go to bootstrap if you have bootloop?
I've had two bootloops the first was when my phone was doing what yours is doing do I did a batt pull and the recovery screen came up so all was good. The second tine was with liberty and that one a batt pull did nothing so I went to the forums and found out about holding the power button and the home button down and it put you on a different screen sorry I can't remember what was on that screen. You then use the search button to navigate the screen. I can't remember what I had to choose but I think it brought me back to the recovery screen. Its been awhile since that happend so I could be wrong. Just search the forums for it. Obviouse if you have a bootloop you can't get into bootstrapper. But if you can use what I learned about the power and home button you can get things back.

Booting up the phone while holding the home and power button boots you into moto's stock recovery. Did u wind up doing a wipe data/factory reset perhaps?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Oh i see. I bet you just got to the DroidX original recovery then wipe it.
Well that's not so bad if you have bootloop eh?
So i guess have two choices here, using some ROM that doesn't have built in bootstrap recovery inside or applying the tutorial above to avoid the problem i have.
Problem solved then. Thanks everybody
This is actually relevant to more than just the Thunderbolt. It fixes Superuser problems with numerous newer Sense releases.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886999
My su binary is already being provided via the root thread but the matching Superuser is not. Without the matching patched Superuser, you'll see FCs when apps request root if the Superuser app itself is open.
Just apply the update zip from the aforementioned thread to fix it. ROM builders should use my patched version as well.
Please update to this, I will be fixing the tutorial as soon as I can, and noting it here.
Rafi, good to see you on the bolt. Looks like we will get a virtuous Rom too. Ran your Rom on the inc till I got run over by the desire z, hd craze.
Sent from my Thunderbolt!
Hmm, not sure if I should do this. I ran fix permissions in Rom Manager and it seemed to take care of all the problems. Everything's been working fine since then. What do you guys suggest?

I agree - however, in my case, nothing was solving the FC's - so I put in this SU and all is right with the world.
I think it's worth trying if all other permissions methods are failing - it certainly "feels" more stable.
This fixes su issues while the superuser app is open.
Flash it.
Thank you rmk & jcase
even aftere re rooting fix my su issue i ran this and i feel su runs wayyyyy smoother now for apps that need su.

There is simply no way any newer Sense ROM works correctly without this patched version. You *will* ultimately encounter issues.
Don't believe me, try this. Open up the Superuser app itself, connect via adb shell, su system, su root. Observe hang. This is just an example, there are numerous other ways to have the issue occur.

I was using Fontchanger to change fonts (obviously)
When I hit reboot to reboot the NC, it froze, how to unfreeze it, fix it, etc?
Using CM7 7.0.3 stable
EDIT: Fixed it, starting messing with power and the N until it forced shut off.

Yea, check out THOR's ROM. With his ROM, you press and hold the power button and are given the options to shut down, reboot, reboot into recovery, or open his special status bar mod.

There's an app called RomToolbox. It's designed for phones, but, it has the boot options in the app. So far, I've ran several of the options on my 501 and haven't had but 1 fc on the animation viewer.
But the boot menu seems to work.
So it seems to function, HOWEVER, some of the options I wouldn't advise using on your tab, because it's a phone app.

yeah, I believe what it does is some sort of cache dump and restarts the android system only. as far as I understand. but yeah, it should save a touch of time off a full boot. I think the most used option, or at least that,s important to me, is the boot to recovery option. a real lifesaver!!!!
