Hi everyone,
My Aria was already rooted when I purchased it, I missed out on the learning curve of rooting, flashing and all the other parts related. But I'm catching up on it little by little here at XDA.
Thanks to everyone here who made it possible.
I'm running Liberated Aria R012 on the Aria now. I lost contact with the seller and I don't know who else to turn to.
Anyways, I'm wondering if I have clockwork installed in my phone. I can't find the application anywhere in my phone, but it does have a folder named 'clockworkmod' in my sdcard with the following files:
clockworkmod > backup > 2010-10-20.09.17.53 > 'boot', 'cache', 'data', 'nandroid', 'recovery' and 'system'.
The reason here is that I am learning to make backups, about recoveries and flashing. I may also flash a FroYo after learning more.
Does all this process require any special software in my computer? I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 by the way. I read in the forums that I need clockwork and unrevoked Reflash.dmg (which is downloading as I'm typing this).
I am not learning to develop anything (not in the foreseeable future), I just want to be able to really own this phone and customize with great ROMs. And to understand what you all are talking about!
Thanks for being patient with a noob.
Clockwork is the recovery, not an app. To see if you have it, hold "home" and "power" at the same time when you turn on your phone. Keep holding for about 10 seconds. You are now in recovery mode. If it says "clockwork" at the top, you agave it.

No problem. If you have the folder on your SD card, you probably have it, unless it was changed.

Hi Ranger,
I tried doing what you suggested and nothing seem to be happing besides rebooting as usually.
Held both Power and Home for 10seconds (more for a couple times). Thinking I may have read wrong, I also tried just holding only the Home button for longer periods while the phone restarts.
Does this mean I do not have Clockwork? The SD card is inside, with a clockwordmod folder.
What am I doing wrong? Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Try pressing home and while still holding home, press the power button. Hold both down. Phone should go to the white HTC screen then after maybe 10 seconds it should be a black screen with green words (you can now atop pressing the buttons). That is the clockwork recovery screen. If you don't get that screen, clockwork isn't on there, and you need to reroot.

Heh, think people aren't catching that they're saying the wrong name of the button.
Turn your phone off. Hold the "Volume Down" button, then hit "Power" at the same time. Everything else said was accurate.
Different phone To get to recovery on an HTC Hero it is "home" and power.
My bad. Yeah, volume down and power will do it. My apologies to the OP.

lol, you guys showed him the wrong way. ok, you hold the "volume down" for 2 seconds then press "power" on. you will see a white screen with 4 options, 1 of them is "recovery", you select this option by pressing volume down to it and press power to select, if you see a big triangle with a "exclaimation mark" in it then your phone is not rooted, if you see white "clockworkmode..." on top then it's rooted, it's that simple...
Ocswing, you saved me!
Thanks a lot buddy I guess it's cos ranger is running on the Hero instead of the Aria (looking at the sig) —*thus the different combinations.
Anyway I was taken to a white screen with several options:
reboot, recovery, etc.
So I do have clockwork, thanks again guys!

whats up all,first off i never rooted or anything to my atrix but install the ota updates. today i unlocked my phone and there were pop ups on my screen saying, multiple processes had stopped working unexpectantly,so i pressed ok and then my phone just keeps rebooting to the moto logo or sometimes goes back to the home screen and the pop ups come up again,then it reboots. i cant use it or do anything. sometimes the LED blinks white,i dont know what that means,somebody plz help me,thx in advance

Can you boot it into fastboot/recovery at all? (Turn on while holding Vol down)

Sounds like a weird bootloop problem but then you said sometimes it goes to the home screen and then it shuts itself down. Try switching your phone off and switch it back on WHILE pressing(and holding) the volume down button on your phone and let us know if you see "fastboot" written on the screen? You should do.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
thx for the responses,yes it says fastboot and just sits there
So it just says "fastboot" and not "unlocked....fastboot"?
Either way, when you get to where it says "fastboot", press Vol down until it says "Android Recovery" and then press Vol up.
If you haven't flashed CWM you should get the little android with the triangle. At this point, press both volume buttons at the same time.
You should get a menu, use the volume keys to navigate to "Wipe" and then there should be an option at the bottom/left of the screen for "okay" and select that.

If your phone says "unlocked" they'll charge your bill 175 because that's user damage

I would have replied if I saw this earlier, but yes, other posters were right.
The solution to bootloops in 99.9% of cases is wipe data / factory reset. That should have fixed things up for you. But if you get a shiny new phone, that ain't bad either i reckon.
Thx for all the help!!!!

Awesome guides! No doubt about that. I'm not a complete noob but I am new to the HD2 and I feel stupid bc I can't get past the first step I am frustrated cuz I have been looking all over for ways to check SPL my trio screen that everyone talks about is not coming up. Idk what to do. I've done the volume down with power button and also tried pressing the reset button in the back just to see if it works. I boot into Windows to make sure the volume down works and it does.
I have the tmobile version Leo 1024. Any suggestions.

Pull battery, press volume down and hold, push power and hold both. Tri color screen should be there.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
Like everyone says. Volume down + end key.
Hold the volume down until the tri-color screen shows up.
I know you've said that.. just make sure you continue to hold volume down
Maybe that will help.
thank you guys but idk why it is not working but i finally managed to get it to bootloader by trying to install hspl3 it automatically sent me to the bootloader screen. After it said "we hacked it" i rebooted and tried to see if it would work with the typical hardware button
voldwn + power button and then let go and it still does not work.? :/
ps . i let go of power button but kept holding the voldwn and still did not work.

You are completely turning off your phone and then doing this to power it up right?
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
Yes and so I started following your guide to install clk since I know that I at least now have hspl3 installed and in the part where you task29 I followed instructions successfully flashed. Everything is going well until you say to reboot into boot loader mode by removing battery and voldwn + power. I try it hoping it would finally work and it doesn't.
Make story short my phone is stuck at the "stick together" screen. I tried getting into boot loader mode by running the hspl install program but bc is stuck on the screen comp is not able to recognize phone. Am I bricked?
Btw I pm you Kylew

Nice, real slick move,, you can't get into bootloader, yet you still decide to go ahead and wipe the OS, so now you have a non booting phone and no access to bootloader.
That's a handsome if totally useless lump of glass and plastic you have there!
JTAG, or sell for spares. (Well, after trying everything you can think of, but all I can think of is freezer trick, but its a loooooong shot. )

what is jtag and whats the freezer trick? is there any other way to get into bootloader mode maybe with sd?
Im willing to open the phone and remove or unplug a strip to completely erase any stored data and hope that it boots into bootloader?
SOLVED!! hope this helps someone else
i got it to work. My god there are soo many ppl with this phone soo many threads and post not sure if thats a good or bad thing lol anyways out of all the searching I found this guy to have had the same as me and he solved it. It was impossible for me to ever i mean EVER boot in to the trio color screen or bootloader what ever its called using the hardware buttons even tho the hardware buttons do work. I was able to get into bootloader when comp and phone sync and I used the hspl3 program to boot the phone when it was fully on the win mo stock.
Anyways I just followed this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10644926&postcount=4
I opened up my hd2 (unscrew and removed the back panel) and disconnected the connector flex rigid board (A board) of the hardware keypad from the mainboard….and pushed the battery in and pressed reset (sometime u need to plugin the usb cable to wall charged/pc to wake up the phone) and held volume down key and hopped for some miracle.
Viola saw the tricolor screen after eternity – since the back panel (not backcover) was open I help the battery to the pins and didn’t even move my fingers …run the stock rom installation and held the battery tight in place and waited to get the rom completed…the moment its 100% relaxed my fingers and reconnected the flexboard connector, re-assembled my phone and everything was back to normal.
I also used these pages for reference on parts:
http://www.ifixit.com/pdf/ifixit/guide_5919_en.pdf
http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked
ps. no need to take the whole phone apart. I believe you are disconecting the AP FPC from main board which is connected to your hardware buttons if I am correct.
Edit: I want to give credit to kylew1212 for walking me through the rest of the installation of my android.
Interesting, good job.
i have a lot of sympathy for his viewson peace
Here's the scenario...Stock Droid X, outside of manufacturers warranty, running GO Launcher EX. The phone was running sluggish so I went to change the live wallpaper to a picture in my gallery. As soon as I selected the, the phone instantly rebooted and would not go past the droid eye boot icon. I called customer service and they told me to pull the battery, replace it, then power up holding home, volume down and power. This gets me to the android guy with the exclamation mark in a triangle. But there are no boot options.
Since bluetooth was enabled on the phone, when I get in my car I can still make and receive calls. So it's like it's fully booting up, but I never get the unlock screen. When I place a call using my car's phone controls, the call screen comes up on the phone, then I get a message about GO Launcher has stopped responding, do you want to close, wait, send error report. I've tried close and wait and neither seem to get me to any other screens.
The phone is completely stock. I haven't rooted, or changed the bootloader or anything like that. I tried searching for suggestions but all I could find were instructions for people who already installed clockwork recovery. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I would be happy even to be able to perform a factory reset, just as long as I can use the phone again. Thanks!
Additional Info: I am able to boot it up and connect to my PC and see the folders on the phone if that helps anything. I tried going to market.android.com and installed adw launcher to the phone hoping that would help anything but I'm still stuck. When I rebooted with the phone connect to my PC I can see the lock screen now, but the screen doesn't respond to my touch when I try to unlock the slider. Again none of the buttons seem to function.
Grab RSD LITE & the proper sbf file and reflash your firmware.

Get back to that screen with the Android guy and the exclamation mark, then press both volume buttons. From there you can navigatecand factory reset the phone via a data wipe. Navigate with the volume buttons and select with the power button.

Thanks so much infazzdar, I was able to factory reset the phone using your tip! It's unfortunate the Vz tech got me to the triangle and exclamation mark but didn't know to press both volume buttons to pull up the recovery options.
vabeachfc3s thanks for your response too, appreciate the help.
Dont forget to push that thanks button good sir

Hello,
Straight to the point, Rooted UK Atrix, running 2.3.4. no other MOD OR rom or anything, i like motoblur.
Stupidly Used Bloatfreezer to freeze 'home' without having another launcher to return to. Can't use the phone now. Trying to reset (hard or soft i do not know the difference) and the phone reads ''fastboot'' then i toggle down using volume - to android recovery and the phone is coming up with starting rsd protocol x2 and nothing else (using the power + & - methods).
If i leave my phone to just boot it resides on a white screen teasing me with noises of logging in but i cannot see anything.
I'm really lost to be honest, i have no idea what to do and i am not good with terminology either (adw, flashboots, cm7 i have no idea what they are).
I know there are sooo many threads with different answer's so that is why i am starting a new thread.
To factory reset using recovery...
1.Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button.
2.Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", press Vol up key
3.Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then release the volume down button
*4.Tap on bottom right corner of the screen (may take a few times). a menu will come up
5.Tap on "wipe data/factory reset", and press OK. Another Confirmation screen will come. Press Yes and OK
6.After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Press OK.
7.Phone will reboot to initial setup MOTOBLUR screen.
NOTE/If on Android 2.3.4 then replace step #4 with pressing both Volume buttons at the same time. Also, use the Power button to activate the highlighted option instead of looking for the OK.

Can you get to android market via your computer? If so go to it, log in, find a launcher and install to your phone. Once rebooted to the phone, it *should* give you a choice or just automatically choose the new launcher. What does double tapping your home button bring you too? I was able to find my alternative launcher by moving around via that.
sounds like ya have frozen system files
prolly be easyest to unlock bootloader and push a custom rom to it (they work better than stock anyway
Yes i did freeze the home app.
I really mean thanks to those replied. Unfortunately i have tried the first suggestion but it doesn't let me get to step 3 with the triangle, fast boot - android recovery - can't fast boot 2 etc can't get passed that.
i have just plugged it in the Laptop, taking sim out, and it has started! i thought it was broken!! but unfortunately not 'home' yet...
SO it is at the motoblur login screen, should i log in? press factory reset? Any suggestions?
I'm not sure how to push an app straight to phone so i can install a launcher...
we're nearly there guys!
In addition to what Robkort said a few posts up ^^^ to get into the recovery on 2.3.4 you may have to scroll down once you see fastboot, until you see "Android Recovery" and press vol up - when the android dude comes up, if tapping the bottom right corner doesnt get you into recovery, press BOTH volume buttons at the same time.
It is now up and working with me just simply plugging it in, running moto sync, logging in to market from laptop and sending the launcher app..
Wifi was enabled luckily before i froze home, so when i pressed log in it went 'error' then launcher pro just popped up so now i think i just unfreeze home, turn it off, put my sim in and fingers crossed..
wish me luck!
Yahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
It's worrying how much happier i am now that i am back on top with my phone working. Pretty dependant we become!
All my widgets, and motoblur have gone, and some writing is in a different language :/ universal inbox is not there either.
Still Thanks for all the suggestions!
I suggest this thread should be 'FROZEN' or just stay open if anyone ever freezes 'home' without having another launcher installed.
I'm glad i didn't need to flash anything, put other ROMS on, hard reset losing everything, solved pretty simple luckily.
I woke up this morning and my phone will not boot. It automatically boots into the bootloader (hboot) and the up/down (volume keys) wont move the cursor to allow me to get to the recovery option. Also if I try to boot into recovery using the hard button combo it vibrates 3 times and the led turns to green, then it just sits/never gets to recovery. Since hboot is looking for the PDimg file I figure I could use this file to revert to stock but I was hoping someone here might have a better answer.
If not can someone let me know how to go about flashing with a PD15img file and where I can find a copy?
Thanks guys
Sounds like your volume button is stuck
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Nope because it knows when I'm using them to try to go straight to recovery also the power button cannot be used to select either but it works to turn the phone one. They just stop working in hboot.
A constantly pressed button will of course also react when you're trying to boot directly to recovery. The phone doesn't "know" anything.
Another option is a stuck trackpad.
If all else fails you might try to reflash recovery and or Hboot, it never hurts to try from a clean install.

I think you guys are misunderstanding the point. This has nothing to do with the buttons. My issue is when I turn my phone on (by hitting the power button once) the phone will only boot into hboot. Once in hboot none of the keys (power or volume) work. If I try to boot directly into recovery by holding vol up/down + power; the phone will viberate 3 times and the LED lights up green. It then just sits on a blacklit black screen and does nothing else.
I am looking for eirther; Anyone that has ever had this issue and may be able to shed some light onto why it happened. Which by the way was completly random, I shut the phone off before going to sleep and woke up too it viberating like crazy then when I tried to turn it back on; this is what happened.
Or the answer to this question; How do I install a rom from hboot? Can I just install any rom as a "update" by using the method of naming it PD15IMG? Since it does search for this file when I have a sd card in at boot. But if my memory serves me correct it will ask; "Would you like to install this update?" and if my hard buttons do not work and I cannot click yes than what else can I do?
Thanks for all the help guys!!!!

And I think you can't read. You've been told in 3 posts that the phone boots directly to HBOOT because EITHER A VOLUME DOWN BUTTON OR A TRACKPAD BUTTON IS STUCK, ON ELECTRICAL LEVEL - THE CONTACTS ARE ALWAYS CLOSED. And THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT ON SOFTWARE/FLASHING LEVEL. You need to fix what's broken, and you've been told what's broken. Patience isn't one of my skills. Good luck from here.

I do thank you for your help but you may want to aquire some patience if you plan to continue helping people... since people in need of help are most likely confused.
Thanks though :highfive:
Im my experience Jack_R1's answers are always right and are the answer to your question. If you think otherwise one of two things is happening.
1) You did not explain your problem thoroughly.
2) You need to examine his post(s) more closely.
He has zero tolerance for stupidity or ignorance due to laziness (i.e. not searching). I'm not trying to speak for him or defend him or anything else. He's grown and quite capable of handling all that. The man just knows the answer and gets to the damn point.
I wish we had more people around here like him.
