[Q] Recovery Mode Error Screen

Hello,
I just got a used MyTouch 4G which seems to work flawlessly with stock 2.2.1 and 2.3.4. I'm trying to root and flash it with a custom rom.
I've reverted back to 2.2.1 stock, visionary, done s=off, and have root access. I install CWM 5.0.2(?) but when I try and go into recovery mode either through ROM Manager or the choose recovery from the ROM Manager menu but then when I try to do something I get a black screen with the Hat and circle arrow and it just sits there.
I didn't have this problem with my Nook, am I missing something?
Thanks,
Lich

Hit the power button when you see the hat wearing arrow. The menu is hidden, power makes it visible. Use the trackpad click to make selections, not power. Volume rocker and trackpad can be used to move the highlight, but power shows/hides the menu.

Thanks guys!
I completely noobed it somehow, and thought it only vol. power would work. I accidentally hit the trackpad and was like "AHH! got it!"
All working now just trying to decide on the ROM!
Just a follow up question. Is there a reason why many of the ROMs seem to have been abandon? Are the chefs working on ICS or moved on to another phone?

[Q] Defy doesn't boot

Hi all,
i had installed cyanogen mod on my defy and all was perfect.
After that i tried to install defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed.apk and it says that was installed successfully.
I tried to boot in recovery mode and when i power up the phone it stays on the initial logo forever (cyanogen mod 7..).
I tried to flash my version founded here sbf.droid-developers org but it make the same things on boot...
What should I do?

yeah, i tried it now, i didn't know this method and it works...
But sorry man, what version should i install? Now I have 2.3.6 (i don't know why, it's the only version that work that i tried) but i would like to install Cyanogen Mod V7...
Can you explain me what should i do? Thank you very mutch!

So you flashed and 2.3.6 sbf? Do you have a Defy+ or a normal defy?
If you have a normal defy and you have a green lense, you can't use your camera anymore (kernel limitation) even not on CM.
To install CM7, download a Defy+ nightly (even if you have a normal defy, cause you are on defy+ kernal) form here: http://www.defy-cm.net/
You must not use defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed.apk any more.
Use 2nd init form: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
When you have installed 2nd init: reboot, wait for blue led, press volume up,go to custom recovery, install the zip downloaded earlier.

But to install 2ndInit i have to get the root permission, how can i do it? With oneClick it doesn't work....
Yes I have the Defy MB525...
EDIT:
yeah, i get root permission and i installed 2ndinit but what should i do to get into recovery mode? I don't understand
RE-EDIT: I had to press power down button, not up...

I did the same mistake on my Moto defy ... did you get it to boot back up and if so how ? Ty to whom ever helps

Yeah it doesn't get past the HTC screen when I try to boot it, I've tried everything, it unrooted and stock right now. I can't use adb but I can use fastboot, I've tried the T-Mobile updates and ruu but nothing helps. I don't know what else to try.

1. Check you have root access using root check from the market
2. Use ROM Manager app to install working CWM, flash ROM as OP instructed
3. Profit

Not able to root desire HD using advanced ace kit

Hello,
I have a desire HD (radio:Asia pacific-India)
I temp rooted and installed clockwork recovery. Now i want to update to blackout ICS 4.04
I followed the instructions on the web. I disabled windows defender, firewall, antivirus and not able to downgrade the firmware
i am getting some error. Each reboot goes to clockwork recovery to reboot the phone.
Any help is appreciated

Hm, if I remember right, aahk dealt with the recovery and everything as part of the downgrade, you installed clockword before using aahk? I'm no expert but don't know if that is part of the reason. what is the error you get when trying to downgrade?
EDIT: also, are you using vista or windows 7? If you are, maybe try running aahk as administrator?

if you are already root why is that u want to run the Hack Kit for? are you s-off? gives me an error is widely general...be specific. Besides, there's an IRC Support channel for the Hack Kit, you should use it.

If you have clockworkmod put the Rom zip on your sdcard using your pc and try to flash it from recovery. It will probably work and the Rom you flash will be already rooted. If it doesn't work post again but try to be more specific.

[Q] From CWM back to stock on L7?

Hi guys,
I flashed CWM10 on my LG L7 but now, given that LG is pushing JB to it, I want to revert to the stock rom. How can I do that? Do I simply flash the V10K european ROM on it from recovery mod, like it was mentioned on another topic? Is Recovery Mod still needed to be on the device with the stock rom?

If revert it directly you culd have some problems. Before i flash CM10 i made a backup and now i recover from there with CWM. Did you made backup?

The device is new and my contacts are on the SIM, no need for backup, didn't store anything on it yet. Managed to revert it by hard resetting it ( Volume+ and Volume- + Power + Home at the same time), it reverted to the original stock ROM. Now waiting for Jelly Bean
Btw, any idea why LG Mobile Support Tool suddenly crashed? It worked after I installed it, now it goes like 5% of the loading bar, then it closes. I am on Win7 x64, are there any conflicts with it ? I can't use the LG software to check for updates apparently

In my case it was from usb software. Try to reinstall the softwares.
