Have a problem, I cant start the phone i HBOOT or recovery. Have done this multiple times before and have no problems. Have flashed openfire before this, maybe something to do with that?
Really want to be able to make this work, because my battery drains from full to empty in a couple of hours, so wanting to reflash opefire or try cynagonmod to see if that could help my problems.
How do I enable this again? (have tryed to install recovery from rom manager, says success, but cant start in recovery afterall)
Have tested volume down+power, ...backbutton+power, ...and restarting the phone in bootloader and recovery, nothing happends.
Maybe the right title would be, cant start in recovery or bootloader, but you get my point anyway =)
Thinking this is maybe something that has changed from my washinmachine-misstake? (se other thread for that)?
Okay now I am frustrated! As seen here in my first post I cant go into recoverymode, bootloader etc.
Thought the problem would be my battery or SD-card. But have bought a new battery and a new sdcard. Still I cant boot into the recoverymode.
This is really strange!!
Maybe my phone got bricked with openfire or something? Its really annoying that I am stucked with this ROM and have no chance of updating or try new ROMS from now.
Someone smart out here, maybe there is another solution to try out?
PLEEEEAAASEEEE!!!
You could try installing rom manager and flashing the latest version of clockworkmod recovery from there

Have tryed that servel times! Not working, the phone starts as normal, even when the update.zip is in the root of sdcard. And cant start the phone from rom manager into recovery, not with voldown+power or from the reboot-options.
Maybe try re-rooting?

cant do it, because I have formatted the computer aswell, and I cant install the android bootloader interface without turning the phone in HBOOT-mode...
Ah, then I'm stumped, sorry

Yeah, me to! The only way to test it is if I could get a computer that already has the android bootloader interface. Or borrow another phone to install it. But dont have any friends with wildfire...doh!!

Hey, ive recently updated the rom on my phone from cm 6.1 (stable) to cm7 nightly (vendor ace) -
initially i did it to test it and to see if it would fix my problem were the phone screen would automatically turn off when reciveing and sending calls, which resulted in taking out the battery and turning back on(which is now randomly working again)
after i flashed the cm7(via rom mamanger) it worked fine, got back onto the phone and i didnt have market and my phone wasnt connecting to google accounts aswell, so i then installed gapps. it worked the first time and it said it was succesful.
Restarted my phone and its the same, no market..etc..
so i tried it again, same thing, then for some reason when ever i try and load into the recovery from rom manager or from the inital vol - and power, it just freezes on the HTC startup screen.
The only thing i think i may have done different was adding this file to my phone (recovery-ace-3.0.0.5.img) because someone on cm7 told me i needed it, but i have no clue what it was for nor how to load or flash it.
So my main problem is, gapps wouldnt install and now ic ant access the recovery manager either and im getting kinda bored without my precious DHD
Can someone please help me
Just to make this clear, you cannot access your recovery even through bootloader? Can you get to the bootloader?

i cant access the recovery manager through the boot loader either but yes i can access the boot loader
Okay, then download this file:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18138289/reco.img
And then download radio flash.zip from radio.img flash guide sticky, extract it, open "start here", drop reco.img to the radio flash folder and type:
fastboot flash recovery reco.img

Your device has to be in bootloader>fastboot mode. After that you can access recovery, do a full wipe and flash CM6.
Ill try this now and reply once its done, erm why flash cm6? or do you think the same fault will happen if i try and reinstall cm7?
do i have to be in the bootloader from the beginning?
plus is there htc sync for MACs?
Thanks alot btw
Well, you can try to flash the cwm 3.img like I described and then install CM7, but I know for sure that the recovery I linked works with CM6.
You have to be in bootloader fastboot when you issue the command, yes.
I do not have a MAC, so I am not really sure. I think that you would have to get Android SDK and forget about radio flash toolkit if you want to use a MAC.
And then download radio flash.zip from radio.img flash guide sticky, extract it, open "start here", drop reco.img to the radio flash folder and type:
right so whilst i do all of this, i need to be in the bootloader > fast boot - sorry just want to clarify, ive not done this before but i have faith!!
Yeah, it does not really matter, but I would put my phone to bootloader fastboot so it is ready. The important thing is that your device is in fastboot mode when you enter the fastboot flash command.
Kool Kool, well thanks alot im going to try this now
right so i successfully entered the recovery, thanks alot for the help with that.
I tried to reinstall cm7 -worked and gapps - said it worked, but it still wont bring up the market app, why is this?
i reinstalled a back up and everything is working again, im so confused why it wont bring up the market app in cm7

when you boot into recovery, not just through rom manager, does it say you have cwm 3.x installed? if so try re-flashing the gapps, if not go back into fastboot and flash cwm3.
Wow, really sorry about that, i thought the cwm was a custom firmware i thought t was optional, sorry for the inconvenience, but thank you alot this has been daunting :/
flashed the right recovery, and everything is working as it should be, thankyou both very much
Hi all!
Seriously in need of some expert help from your kind selves. Basically my phone is rooted with custom roms. I'm needing to try to get it back to normal as it has developed a hardware fault in the way that the volume key doesn't work, more so the down volume. Sometimes the up volume works when it feels like it. The camera itself has also been playing up and not working at times (not sure if this would be hardware related). As you can guess I'm wanting to get the phone repaired under warranty. The major headache comes when I need to get into the bootloader and I can't with the down button not working. Earlier I flashed a different kernel and when the phone went to reboot all hell broke loose. I'm currently stuck on the white screen with HTC logo. So without getting into the bootloader to try to recover I'm in serious bother! I tried this link and followed all the steps but in the end it just kept giving me an unknown error message
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
I'm just trying to get the phone back up and running and then will take it from there to return it back to stock if possible. One thing I didn't try was the fact I have a 1.84 rom on and tried to flash with 1.72. May well try a 1.84 later on when I get the chance.
I hope you basically understand what I've done and what I'm trying to achieve and the problems I've got.
Thanks in advance if you can provide any solutions or ideas to try.
oooo boi thats gota hurt... but dont worry.. download "quickboot" from the market with it u can go to bootloader and cmw recovery .. about the rest.. i didnt get it.. u have 1.72 stock ruu and u want to get 1.84 ? why not just use 1.32 old rom and send it back repair guys ?
Find the downgrade thread in the Dev section, download the PD98IMG.zip from that thread. Put that on your SDcard.
Now you want to boot into bootloader which maybe difficult given your button predicament. I am sure there must be a fastboot/adb command to do this, possibly
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The bootloader should read and flash the PD98IMG.zip automatically, returning you to stock.
Hi mate. I had same problem my volume buttons don't work at all but i managed to flash latest recovery witch let's you scroll with home button don't no if this helps but try it
Thanks guys for trying to help. Leatherface I'm stuck on the white boot screen with htc logo and it won't go any further so can't get into market to download any apps. Or is the program you're talking about available for pc? I have custom roms on and not stock but want to put stock back on to send in for repair.
AndyHarney I will try your advice later but obviously as soon as I turn phone on it goes straight to the boot screen so I really can't see how I could get into the bootloader any other way but I may be wrong. Hopefully I am!!
Biggy I did flash with the latest CWM right before it went beserk but still no way of getting into bootloader.
I'm off for an Easter drink now to take my mind off it coz it's stressing me out and will return soon to butcher my phone a little more lol
Happy Easter
Of course, to use fastboot you need to be in fastboot in the bootloader.
Using the app Leather|Face mentioned, is there an option to boot into bootloader?
Anyways, enjoy your bank holiday.

as long as the rom ur using is not cynogenmod7... ur warranty isnt void my friend
did u try to re-flash a rom ? trying flashing a fresh rom.. full wipe ur phone before.. bellow in atttachment is full wipe.. download it extact it and put "full wipe 1.3" in ur sd card.. and put a rom there too.. then boot into recovery.. 1st do a full wipe.. then flash the rom.. see if that solves ur problem doode..
Edit : aaa crap.. i forgot u cant go into bootloader.. :|
Edit 2 : the guy 2 posts above said that u can use ur home key to navigate thro recovery... maybe u could use it for booting it to boot loader too.. donno lemme try if that can happen
Edit 3 : no that didnt work... btw abt 6 months back... on my samsung galaxy s... volume keys wudnt work so i couldnt get into recovery to get make to stock rom because i was using custom roms... i cudnt do anything and i was still under warrantly. so i perposly bricked ma phone to the extent that no matter wat u do with it, it wudnt switch on.. and i was sent a new one
If you are trying to get into bootloader another way worked for me but maybe not every. Body is to flash a new splash with android flasher then pull cable at correct moment when it boots into fastboot briefly. He'll it works for me LOL

thanks for letting me knw man... i cud use that if nothing else is possible lol
my down volume key does not work either, and i have had difficulty with this.
i have just tried to install a theme, and reboot and it was stuck on white htc screen.
plugged phone into computer, use adb reboot bootloader and load up recovery from there..
I flashed a full wipe zip by mistake and with no volume buttons i thought i was screwed but after two days trying i found i could only go back to stock 132 every thing else would fail?
For anyone who is in this predicament, if you can't or are unwilling to use adb, then if you download and install Droid Explorer, there is the option to boot into bootloader, flash other ROMs and loads more besides.
Nope... u just need. To. Root and eng s off and s off again...then ur back in business

like someone said before, you can access the phone with adb and forget about touching the controls on the actual phone, it can go into bootloader, and from there i guess you can reflash or recover your stock rom
adb is more simple than it sounds, it's just sort of like remote control via the computer
I've tried adb fastboot as suggested but all it says is <waiting for device>. I've tried plugging device in and turning it on both before and after entering this command but the phone just immediately goes to the white HTC screen. Also tried Droid Explorer as suggested but I can't even get that to install as it throws up an error message during install!! I'm not having a good time with this phone at the moment lol
If you downloaded the PD98IMG.zip from the downgrade thread, and download Quick Boot from the market.
Put the zip on your SDcard and use Quick Boot to get to the bootloader. From there is should be an automated process, and your phone will be restored to HTC stock.
I'm unable to get into the market to download anything since the phone doesn't boot
Ok I'm back in business. Just managed to flash a clean rom. Some nice chappy on another thread was also having the exact same problems as me and he managed to sort it out and helped me. The commands are ADB REBOOT RECOVERY or ADB REBOOT-BOOTLOADER. I was typing FASTBOOT REBOOT-BOOTLOADER as mentioned in an earlier post and wasn't getting anywhere.
However I'd like to thank you all for your efforts and now I should be able to return the phone to stock and get it shipped off for repair with peace of mind that they won't whinge that the warranty is null and void.

My phone is now stuck at the google logo and will not go past. After rooting and clockwork i was not able to load anything else but i would not boot.
Please help.. Thank You
seriously? there is like 4 threads on how to root it, and you go with one that you shouldnt.. lol
it had pictures.. lol
all the threads on here talk about specific phone models and i wasnt sure so i just went with it... Bad choice on my part..
hopefully someone can help
load up fastboot and try to get to recovery if you can then awesome.. try wiping everything and see if that fixes anything
Pull the battery, hold volume up and power and follow this post to get into recovery. Then like shabby penguin said, when you get into recovery wipe everything and you should be good to go. Again, the post I linked you to is the proper way to root the 4g...

Oh, guess I didnt catch that.
ok your best bet it to go into fastboot and flash the clockworkmod 3.0.2.4
did you do the oem unlock command?
yeah i did the oem unlock.
ok well assuming you followed the directions from this guy, then you have a diff bootimg on there i can toss a few files that may fix it, but no garuntees...
seriously tho
(You should see that “LOCK STATE” says “UNLOCKED”, meaning your Nexus S is rooted.)

is posted on his site.. that would be a good indicator to me to stop listening to anything he said.. he then later in the comments was trying to help someone and told them if usb wasnt working then use a microsd adapter to put the files on..
yeah i am kicking my self in the a$$. Is there anyway do just get it back to stock?
well have you tried flashing a kernel? if it gets to bootani then its usually rom erros, freezing at spalsh screens is generally kernel images
is it possible to load a kernel when i cant see the phones memory from the computer???
someone has to have some idea of to fix this...
just got me to stock unrooted phone.. please
yes, download this
boot into fastboot and type in fastboot flash boot /path/to/natarchy.img
replace /path/to with where its located.. this should get you rollin again
thank you... thank you... thank you!!!!!!!!
i have learned my lesson and i wont stray from the xda forum next time.
Again thank you
I have a similiar issue as OP...I tried to flash netarchy kernel with kernal manager and then phone rebooted and got stuck at google logo.
I have installed SDK...google drivers, but when I try to flash the kernel I get waiting for device in command prompt. Same error when I type "fastboot oem unlock"
Any ideas?

Waiting for device means Windows does not recognize phone. Reinstall drivers.
ok sounds like a driver issue, i used pdanet to install the drivers i needed. try fastboot devices, if it doesnt show anything then your phone isnt connected
Ok used my mac and was able to get cwm recovery on device. I could mount it. Now how can I flash back to stock. I9020A att 3G version. Booting now I see google and a lock.
Thanks everyone!
HALP!
My phone just went black, and when i turned it back on after taking battery in and out, xRecovery is gone, and I now have clockworkmod for X10 Mini for some reason! ... i have X8.
I can't reboot through CWM, it says that "ERROR: Current recovery seems bad!"
Also I'm guessing xR-files are different from CWM's, so the backup I had using xR probably won't work. What do? I don't wanna brick this.
Prior to this error i just installed a few apps. A few that I can think of are; Dropbox, Clockr (clock widget) and Screenshot. Last one needed SU-admissions, it may be that.
Please help.
Cheers
EDIT: Solved - it turned out FroyoBread has a dual recovery-situation; XREC and CWM
But keep on feeding me info!
To further assist you please answer this questions.
Is your bootloader unlocked?
What is your current ROM?
Possible solutions;
If you can still enter a recovery flash a working rom and after that restore your backup.
If thats not work you will have to flash thru various recovery tool SE provides.
Solved!
I took a chance on rebooting, and was able to enter xRecovery and reboot from there.
Next question - where did clockworkmod come from?
Please advice...

I've never done anything with bootloader, other than a program to load various loaders, i don't know what it is.
My current ROM is FroyoBread by Doixhan.
As you can see in my second post, I WAS able to load xRecovery and reboot from there. Now I would very much like to know why a program i've never installed suddenly makes scary moves on my phone=P
Thanks for your reply!
The answer is that you are using a dual recovery ROM
If you tap screen while booting it will enter CWM if you press back button it will enter Xrec.
Mostly ROM made for stock uses dual recovery, again.
Tap Screen = CWM
Back Button = XREC
PS:
Modifying your phone takes courage. If your afraid to brick it then read carefully and follow before you try. It takes courage to achieve something.

So you're saying my custom ROM has two recovery-programs with two different entry-modes?
It's strange that I never read anything about CWM when I installed either XREC or FroyoBread.
Anyways, thanks for the answer, dude. This really got me scared for a second=P
Based on your statement yes you have dual recovery. Give it a try to see. Dont worry it wont brick your device when you enter a recovery. Just dont do anything just restart it after you test it,

I know NOW it won't brick my phone - but you know, I couldn't find anything about online, and I never installed that program (which said I couldn't boot because of invalid restore-files) - so you see WHY I was all revved up=P
I've owned a smartphone (this x8) for two months now, but I feel I got a nice knowledgebase of how all this stuff works - but I don't like sudden unexpected things like this. If I was scared of rooting and custom roms, I wouldn't have done ANY of this.
But thanks anyways, I love XDA
Hi,
I was about to install a custom rom on my LG L5 E615 when i thought of something stupid, which was "how about i do everything that one does before installing a custom ROM except i don't install it"
So, i opened CWM and wiped everything that needs to be wiped(data/devkin,etc), then i clicked on reboot, here the recovery made me realise my mistake and told me "You didn't install a ROM but are about to reboot the android, the phone might install stock recovery over CWM"(these aren't the exact words but this is what it meant). Realising this, i click on "Go Back" thinking once the ROM is downloaded, i'll put it into the SD and flash that and then i'll reboot.
But on clicking "Go back" the phone rebooted
Now, i can't seem to open CWM and the phone is stuck in a loop, "once it reaches the LG logo(the logo does its shining thing 4 times), then the phone restarts" saying the phone is going to shut down due to high temperature, but the phone is perfectly cool.
What should i do ? How should i now install the custom ROM, or i'll have to install stock again ?
I don't care wht i have to do, Please help me get my phone started, as of right now i'm without a phone :/
Thanks
Harry
If you can go into the recovery then just install everything as normal. If not, try using something like the program LG provides for updating the stock ROM, it's perfect if you can't do anything with the phone.

After 100 tries of trying to open the recovery, i finally did it !! then sideloaded the ROM :good:
buddy, do you know any android stimulating software with which i can flash ROMS and not just apks like in case of Genymotion

I don't, sorry, I'm not a developer myself. One of the many that are around here may know if any program like that does exist.
is there a tool like the AIO -ToolKit to just override everything for the 610? even if the drivers do not install properly?
