Ok, to all of you that have read my previous thread about my phone. (washinhmachine-accident, batterydrain-issue, recoverymode-problems)
you now what trouble I have had before with this phone.
I went into Rom Manager and choosed install Rom from SD-card (had cynagoenmod there). And wiped everything, then pressed OK...
...The phone started in recoverymode and like all 200+-times before it went all black, couldnt wake up.
"**** this phone" I thought and put it in my pocket for an half-hour, then when I pressed the powermenu, I saw that the phone had Cynagoen mod has been installed properly!!
Amazing as it seems! I did press the trackball sometimes during the blackscreen, nothing seems to happend. I must had the best luck to manage to press it so that it started the installation. (or is this done automaticly when installing from rom manager for you who have tryied this?)
So clearly the recovery is there in my phone! But the screen dont work at the same time!....very very strange! And now I want to try to install the nightlys instead, but dont now if I really are going to do something while pressing the trackballbutton?
If I want to install kernels, googleapps can I install the the same way? Or is it only the ROM-files that can be installed via rom manager from that option??
I think your wildfire doesn't want you to get rid off it, which is why its doing all this magical stuff , I don't think you can instal kernels from rom manager, you can try though.

Haha, yeah it is a very magical device! Like magic muschrooms, I think thats why I am so addicted to it
@ Kevin: I think that the Gapps flashed like it should with the same method, that meens that its ok to flash other things that Roms with that option.
The thing is that I cant see the flashingprocess, I cant see if something happends. Just wait till the phone restarts again, if it does.
I pressed the trackball a few times now aswell, seems that I pressed in right order
Well then nice work, better remember the buttons you need to press , I'm sure you know each item in recovery after using it heaps anyway haha. Just google images of each option in recovery menu if youre stuck lol

haha, yeah I have been thinking of that aswell, but glad I now how it looks without images. Just hope that the buttonpresses are registrated each times, so I dont choose another option instead
The Wildfire is a weird one for sure. I can't for the life of me get it to flash different recovery images or boot images. Just getting NAND write errors. It's rooted with Unrevoked and has Clockwork recovery already installed. Might be because of flashing the new radio image, that it broke something, so gonna try and install original RUU and root again to see if it gets better. Kinda getting to hate the Wildfire a bit, cause there's other issues as well. With the Tattoo I have no issues, so I prefer to use that phone atm.

So i tried to flash a rom like a normally do and i get stuck on the green screen.
I noticed now when flashing a rom is takes alot longer to flash then it usually did , i wiped pulled battery multiple times and still the same results. If i try to flash a froyo rom it will stay on the mytouch screen for a few secs and reboot to recovery mode on its own. every other rom just gets stuck and will not move. im limited to only recovery mode and Fastboot , are their any simple fixes that can be done and thanks in advance.

Have you tried fixing apk uids? I've also heard you can use the bootloader to do a more thorough wipe.
If I were in your situation I would apply sappimg to unroot and start over.

im fairly new so i only know how to flash roms . outside of that im pretty much clueless. I tried flashing a new radio & when it tells me to reboot to complete installation it says no more room or somthing like that. it does it really quick so i cant tell. Also how would i go about unrooting?
EDIT .. ok unrooted the phone and it seemed to have done the trick.

Glad you're still operational. Now you can retrace your steps and figure out where you went wrong. I also had to unroot and go back to Cupcake before I successfully completed my first rooting.
If you're just flashing ROMs, I would stay away from updating the radio unless the developer specifically says you should.
Hi all, i just recently got a vibrant, and i rooted using superoneclick, and now after installing rom manager and flashing clockwork recovery, every time i boot into recovery it gives me default android recovery, and not clockwork mod. what is wrong?
bumpitty bump bump
Make sure you have the update.zip installed by Rom Manager in the root of your sd card and hit re-install packages. That should get you into clockwork recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It is in the root of my internal sd card, and i do not have a reinstall packages option
try the modded 3e recovery in the DEV section if your on 2.2
Well i went to that except i have one problem and i cannot post there due to being under 10 posts, but they all talk about a "keys" file, but i cant see it in any of the files in the op
Can you give like a full step by step guide? because none of the ones in that thread are specific enough
nevermind i think i got it with this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400
Yup, got it, now im gonna go flash bionix -v , thanks for the help!
bionix hard-bricked my phone and now i cant get into download mode even with no boot guide
What is it doing? With ODIN open and phone plugged in to your pc do you see it adding a COM port? Im gonna take a stab and say you didn't let Linda convert your filesystem completely and reboot itself maybe...
No com port no nothing, the phone itself will not power on into anything using any method
any idea what you did right before it wouldn't come on? Did you have a lagfix other then voodoo?? Like OCLF??
Try this method....
Pull everything out of your phone..battery, sim, sdcard
Open ODIN on your PC
Plug the USB into your PC
Hold down ONLY the Volume Keys (both of them)
Plug the USB into your phone...still holding the keys
With your other hand put the battery in..
Should be a minor delay and then you should see the Download mode screen (Digging Android robot)
Try it a few times
that is what i have been doing for past 15 minutes, its too late now, im returning it.
Man..I know its frustrating...I ve been there quite a few times myself..This last time I had a complete No Power brick...no nothing..dead...nada... Called em up, had a replacement sent, but before it got here, I got the phone back on and I actually returned the replacement back to them and kept my old one...it just keeps coming back to life...
So if you ordered a replacement..theres no harm in playing with your current one to try to get it back working is there??
I didnt order a replacement, i took it back to the store, and wow, this is ridiculous, the new one has the problem with the back and menu buttons where they choose when they want to work and not, i liked my desire z so much better except that i was forced into getting rid of it because people could never hear me on calls.
Ahhh I c... sorry I couldn't help you

Search function is down but I did go through a few pages of threads looking for what was going on and no luck but I apologize if this has been solved somewhere else.
First off I would rate my rooting know-how as beginner to intermediate. I've jailbroken/unlocked multiple iPhones awhile back and have rooted/flashed roms on a cliq, mts, my3g, and this mt4g before.
I recently returned my current mt4g back to stock rom and unrooted. I do not think I turned s back on but I should have double checked before.
I currently have root and flashed clockwork and am trying to flash CM7 (I had ran it before on this phone as well). I have an issue right now where I cannot get into clockwork recovery as it will just sit at the mytouch logo forever and if I try and volume up and power into recovery all I get is 3 vibrations and a flashing amber light.
I can boot into the stock (but rooted) rom.
Any ideas? I feel like my recovery is broken or something but this goes beyond what I know. Any help would be great and any information you need I'll be happy to provide.
myTouch 4G, rooted, s (probably) off, stock rom, clockwork says i'm on 3.0.2.4
After reading that, I'm not fully convinced you actually have root and S-OFF. If you're sure you do, download ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install a fresh copy of CWM recovery. Also make sure the "fast boot" option is turned off somewhere under Settings. At that point, there should be nothing preventing you from getting into recovery if you have perm root.
I've got ROM Manager and it has SU permissions and I have the latest recovery flashed but I am still stuck on mytouch logo or the 3 vibrations/amber light when I try to get to recovery. If I reboot there is still no problem getting SU in terminal emulator or ROM manager or anything.
Fast boot is off as well. Thanks for the help so far.
Any ideas?
I don't often boot into recovery manually since most custom ROMs have an enhanced reboot menu with a recovery option, but if memory serves, I believe the key press combination is actually Power + Volume Down, not up like you mentioned in your OP. Give that a try.
Man I am really crazy. Here I am a tmo rep and also a novice modder and I'm hitting power + volume up.
Worked like a charm.. Now just to figure out why clockwork is sitting at the mytouch screen when trying to install CM7.
Thanks for the fresh set of eyes!

After flashing CM7, the phone hangs at the myTouch screen when attempting the first boot?
From ROM Manager if I try to flash CM7 from there it goes to the mytouch screen and hangs before anything else happens.

What if you select the "boot into recovery" option in ROM Manager? Does the phone reboot into CWM recovery? (you should see the main CWM menu in orange text)
Boot into recovery takes me to MT4G logo and hangs.

So you don't have a good installation of CWM. Open ROM Manager again and re-flash a fresh recovery. I think there's an option to wipe your existing recovery beforehand, so if you see that, select it. You need to get a working recovery image before you can do much else.
Deleted current recovery and I confirm my model again and it takes a total of 5 seconds. Trying to reboot into recovery again after and I still hang at MT4G.
I hate it when you know something you need to do but you've been working on it so long you can't come up with new ideas.
Thanks again for the help.
Sorry multipost since it didn't register on my computer the first time for some reason
Yeah sorry man, I've never heard of a situation where CWM stubbornly refuses to install. If you have the engineering bootloader, you could manually flash it that way, but that's my only other idea.
Alright well thanks for all the help man, I'll dig around and pick up tomorrow.
I ended up looking for the recovery myself on the SD card and deleted it and then it flashed no problem. Thanks again for the help

hi guys .. i have HTC Desire HD it was working very well on version 2.3.3 then i decide to downgrade it to 2.2 so i can get root + recovery by following this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233&highlight=downgrade
i followed the instruction EXACTLY as it was posted after i get to bootloader and i made the update the phone restart and died for almost 5 mints then it switched on HTC logo and keeps vibrating for 2 mints then it works normally .
each time i switch it off it needs 5 mints to turn on after that it keep vibrating as i have said even i cant go to bootloader mode (by pressing volume down + power ) but only with terminal command or by using Ultimate Multi Tool .
by the way :- my phone is 2.2 + S-Off + recovery .
Install rom manager and flash recovery again. Then try and flash a new rom.

I think the problem is that you are using stupid fonts on the forum haha
Erm, try and use a full wipe script, look in the Android Revolution thread.
Probably a corrupt bootloader, maybe try flashing it again?

you mean flash it by installing another ROM or flash bootloader ?

no need to use those words man ,,, i tried full wipe by using this FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip
wipe it, Reflash and maybe re-root!
re
Just the bootloader...
I had a similar problem when I tried to root and flash ROM's on to mine.
In the end I started the whole process again. I went right back to the beginning as if my phone wasn't rooted. It seemed to work, I don't know but maybe first time round I made a stupid mistake and was a little more careful on my second run.
Anyway, I would suggest re-rooting your phone, then flashing a ROM again. I know it's long but sometimes it's the only way!
Good luck!
To op.
I would recomend using ROM Manager from market, and from there, flash Clockwork Recovery (CWM).
I don't know what recovery or what rom you have tried, but i could point you in the direction of a CM7 rom (Cyanogenmod) or something like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040 . That might do the trick..
Guys please I know this is the wrong forum but no one is answering help. At all. Alright, I went to flash the ICS Sense alpha, and needed to restore a backup. I went into hboot, and restored the PD98IMG.zip. Afterwards it said "Press power to reboot" so i did. The phone turned off, and now nothing. After a LONG time the phone turned on to the White HTC Splash and vibrated CONSTANTLY, until the battery was pulled. I tried volume down + power but nothing. Except for the occasional white screen, nothing. Please, anyone/.
You're bricked
Sent from my Desire HD using telepathy...
I think your phone had a bootloop. Did you already installed custom recovery? Can you enter it through fastboot menu (vol down + power)?
I doubt he's bricked,why are you restoring that zip? You restore your back up....from clockwork?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
It won't enter into fastboot. Occasionally the white HTC screen comes on with a constant vibrate and the only way to stop that is to pull the battery. No fastboot, no recovery, nothing.
It wouldnt enter into recovery so I had to take the long way, by using the PD98IMG

I am confused. So what exactly happens when doing this:
remove or rename the PD98IMG on the sd card
pull the battery from the DHD
re-enter it and hold volume down and power until the hboot starts
navigate by volume down/up to Recovery and press POWER
If you had to restore back to factory, why bother flashing ICS?
You should get away by installing one of the RUU using PC. here is a guide on how to install RUU and you'll have to search this section to find a RUU or google it.
Though firstly i would ask you if you can go into the recovery mode anyhow since you're saying that your phone can get the HTC logo. For that, hold down POWER + volume DOWN key to get you into hboot (IF YOU CAN) and choose recovery from there, once in recovery, go to option where you wipe your data + cache, wipe both of em and try restarting again...If you can't even get into recovery then do the RUU way of getting the rom working.
EDIT:
I'm not sure what in the world happened, but it booted into the ATT stock ROM. After 30 minutes of vibration and idk what else, it finally booted.
Lol least its on

Gratz, suppose this thread's unnecessary now?
Anyway take care of what you do: always do a nandroid backup prior to flashing everything. Better spend 5min for backup than 5 days without a phone.
I think know what happens. If I remember correctly you had your phone replaced. And it came with gb. The pd98 you flashed was the froyo one. Hence the crazy vibration and long boot time. If Im right thisvwill happen each time you reboot Until you get the gb bootloader back on
Also spamming the threads is a pretty good way of getting banned. Maybe zel or Andy will be nice about it

That sounds somewhat correct. I DID get it replaced, but had a GB PD98 on the SD card. Anyway, it vibrated for quite some time, and eventually the vibration stopped. So I let the phone sit as I figured out some way to salvage the phone. And the the next HTC splash booted, and the phone proceeded into the stock ROM. Idk what happened, but I'm not complaining.
Dear Lord, it just turned off and is doing it again. But, I'm praying for the best again. Thanks guys.

When you succesfuly back in your phone, just root it with AAHK and install some custom ROM and you should be fine.

The phone itself is already rooted, but I tried booting into CWM, and it did the same thing as it did before. So I have to run the RUU, and then S on the phone, and run the hack kit again. I already ran the RUU once, and nothing.
Probably best just to start over and do everything again,even if you've already done it,maybe the root didnt work?
