Hung on G1 Screen - I Did a Bad Thing

I updated the Cyanogen Mod to 4.2.6, which worked fine. However, I then went into the Cyanogen Updater to get the Dark Dream 1.5 theme (not realizing that it is a theme for CM 4.2.5).
Now when I go to restart my phone, it gets hung up on the G1 screen. I can still get into the recovery screen, but it aborts everything I try, so I cannot wipe and re-install a ROM. I can get into the console, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for there. I can also get into the boot-loader screen, but am unable to do anything. HBoot Mode shows that there are a bunch of missing images and then pops me back to FastBoot screen. I am wondering if anyone can offer a suggestion on how to get my phone working again.

If you can into recovery you should be able to fix it by applying the cyanogen update again, if not use fastboot to restore a nandroid backup

While I can boot into the recovery mode, nothing seems to work. I try a wipe; comes up "Wipe Aborted." Same thing happens when I try to apply the update again.
I am going to see if I can re-install the cyanogen update from the console, as it seems like that is the only the working in the recovery mode. Unfortunately I don't have a nandroid backup to use. Thanks for the suggestion.

Which recovery image are you using?

You can download a nandroid image to fastboot of the official rom directly from HTC for the ADP1 phone. Download the Android 1.6 "System Image" from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html You may have to reinstall a custom recovery image afterwords. Then you can upgrade to any rom you want.

If you need to, you can download the latest recovery image here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669 and install using the fastboot method.

[Q] myTouch 4G Recovery Issues! Please Help!

I checked through 100s of post tonight and could not find the answer to this and am in need of some help. I attempted to install a Cyanogen Nightly tonight through Rom Manager with no prior knowlege of the issues with CW 2.5 vs. CW 3.0. Stupid I know.
So natuaraly, when the download finished and Rom Manager tried to install, my MT4G just hung at the white boot screen. Through previous posts, the directions were simple to reflash the previous CW Recovery through Fastboot and reflash the Rom.
Well thats where the problem is.... When I attempt to flash ANY Rom earlier than 3.0.0.5, it will say OKAY in CMD, however the phone will never boot into the Recovery. I even tried fastboot erase recovery then reinstalled and still nothing.
So i decided to go a different root and reinstalled 3.0.0.5 to see if there was any work around through there. After i install 3.0 through Fastboot, I am able to go into Recovery, however when I select ANY option no matter what, the hat and the gear icon stay in the background and nothing happens.
I am very confused and lost and am hoping someone here will have had the same issue and can help me get my phone back in order.
Thanks in advance guys!

I havent had that issue exactly, but I might be able to help wlk you through getting this fixed. Ive had problems more than once myself on recovery, and helped a couple others solve other issues on here. If you want, add me on google talk (same username as on xda), and Ill walk you through it. Might have to wait till the morning, though, as Im probably gonna head to bed soon.

Fastboot 2.5 recovery and reflash froyo rom. If you decide to install CM7 again - read,search and make sure that you understand what you're doing. It has been stated at least few dozen times that Rom Manager is useless with gingerbread until Koush updates it.

Same Issue??
I believe my issue sounds similar.
I tried to go from Iced Glacier up to CM7. When I did I attempted to use the Clockwork Recovery 2.5 and of course it didn't work. Then I tried to upgrade it to 3.0.0.5. Now when I try to reboot into Clockwork recovery the phone just stays on the MyTouch 4G splash screen. The only way to get around it is use the Power/Volume down button and click on FASTBOOT and then select REBOOT.
The phone then boots in Iced Glacier. I have redownloaded ROM Manager and attempted to FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY. But it still won't load into recovery.
Essentially I need some step by step help to get back to clockworkmod recovery. I'm not too worried if I need to wipe everything. Just looking for the ability to restore again.
Alternatively I'm interested in upgrading to CM7 but not sure how I could do that without recovery working. I would also ask if you can give step by step instructions it would be much appreciated as I'm still pretty new to this.
Thanks!

I also have the similar problem. I have installed the Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 and have rooted my phone before i was trying to install the gingerbread version. I made a recovery backup. i tried to restore the phone with that backup image but it still hung up with that "t-mobile mytouch " white splash screen.
What should i do now ? i have no idea how to bring my phone back to life :/

Sounds like both of you should of never of done this. This has been discussed a few times, and the end result is always the same.....
Download the correct Recovery image (which can be found in the Development section) and install it to your phone by using the ADB commands, in the fastboot mode. you can find a quick and painless way to set those up in my signature. Once you have installed the recovery image you can boot into hBoot and select recovery. from there you can flash CM7 and the gapps. Once you have done all that download the official clockwork ROM manager from the market and flash his current recovery image.

[Q] HELP I have PROBLEM WITH MYTOUCH 4G rooted with virtuous fusion ROM

Hi i have a MyTouch 4G rooted with Virtuous Fusion ROM. Everything was working until when I tried to install Miui Music Player on it. I did adb push but after doing it when i unplugged the phone from my computer several Force Close came up then i rebooted my phone then the MYTOUCH Tmobile logo start up screen came then the HTC logo came then my phone will shut down. I tried to start my phone again the same thing happen. I did Hboot and tried recovery from there but it didnt work. I tried Factory Reset but it failed. I go to clockwork recovery mode if i do backup and restore or factory reset nothing happens. Does it mean my phone is gone? Is there anything i can do to fix it? Please anybody help

Try going into recovery again and just reflash fusion again.

Im kind of a noob but did you reflashing cwm via adb? Do some research first though.
Also I think there is a trick to flash an older cwm via adb and then flash an older romm that needs cwm 2.xxx but I could be wrong

Download a new copy of CWM from here. Rename the file "recovery.img" and put it in the root of your SD card. Then start ADB and enter:
Code:
adb flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

See my post in your other thread. It sounds like your recovery is fine, so all you need to do is wipe and re-flash.

having issues after bootloader unloack, and root

this morning was dead at work, so i decided to go ahead and tinker with my phone. i was on 1.8.3, rooted, and running gingerblur 4.5.
i followed the instructions for the bootloader and root, everything went smoothly updating to 2.3.4 at first, but it doesnt seem to hold root. superuser kept corrupting, then when i got that settled, CWM started hanging up, and now when i try to use that, i get an error saying the path is null. aaaand now superuser says my su binaries are out of date. anyone have any idea? i tried searching, but couldnt find anything relative to my problem...
EDIT: super user is jacked up again.. so basicly my phone wont hold root...
EDIT 2: my home key doesnt seem to do anything now either...

Sounds like you did a titanium backup restore on your phone? Try doing a factory reset and try re-rooting the rom you have and give it super user access. A factory reset should work.

i didnt do a titanium backup... but i did just try a factory reset, and i think it bricked my phone... i have the little android guy standing next to the yellow triangle with an exclamation point... now what? lol

can you boot into fastboot or Android Recovery?

yes. should i use android recovery, or reflash 2.3.4 or kenn's alien rom?

who's recovery/CWM are you currently using?

i had the latest of tenfars CWM, but like i said, it kept botching since root wouldnt stick

i seem to be able to access the CWM in android recovery mode though. should i try reflashing kenn's alien rom, or start from scratch with 2.3.4?

Try booting into fastboot mode and trying the command: fastboot -w
Then: fastboot reboot
Does it boot up now? Still have some more stuff to tell you.. just wanted to see if that got the phone booted first.

Yeah, but can you still put flashable .zip files on your phone, if you can't boot?

it booted up just fine, as if the factory reset did nothing. all my apps and stuff are still there, root still isnt working, and neither is the CWM app in the app drawer. so im not sure if i should try re-rooting again, or what to do. this is weird, i never had any issues fiddling with gingerblur or any of that stuff...

Ok, here we go...
1) Check to see if you have file "install-recovery.sh" @ /system/etc. If you do, delete it.
2) Uninstall Tefnar's CWM you have installed.
3) Download RomRacer's CWM/Recovery, and install via fastboot, or install via ROM Manager via the instructions in my N00B Guide thread.
4) Once you have RomRacer's CWM installed, boot into CWM and wipe dalvik cache, cache partition and format data.
5) Flash Alien ROM (not theme, just ROM). - Make sure to put this on you phone before booting into CWM and clearing everything; want to flash immediately after clearing things listed in step 4.
6) Reboot and see what you have and if everything is working correctly...

rom manager says i need root. which i dont have. i tried installing via fastboot, but couldnt figure it out. i cant remember if im supposed to use the command prompt, or rsdlite, rsdlite says the CWM zip isnt a valid compressed file...

Need to use command promt for fastboot... put RomRacer's CWM .img file in the same place as your fastboot files, and then type the commands in Rom Racer's OP, except if your using fastboot, you can ignore the "moto" part of the commands and just type fastboot ....
You need Romracer's fastboot file, which is on the left side... not the flashable .zip file which is for CWM.

you are my new favorite person in the whole wide world. its currently formatting, and i'll be sure to log on in the morning to post my results. but this is far enough for the night i think. im beat. thanks for ALLLL the help and patience!

Oh. I guess I should add this piece of advice since no one else has. Don't get bored at work and try flashing roms. You don't have recovery available or another rom available. I speak from experience.
I voided my warranty.

just wanted to say i have everything up and running. super fast, super smooth, and so far, no errors or issues. thanks alot guys!

Clockwork recovery won't boot nexus s

Hey guys
I'm having an issue booting into clockwork recovery. and i'm having even more of an issue finding the answer, I'm pretty sure that someone is gonna come up with a thread which already answers my Q, I just don't know enough of the terms to search sorry
I've followed instructions here in Kursks walk through to unlock my loader, install super user and install clockwork mod etc.
Clockwork mod and super user are now fully upto date.
I've managed to do a backup of my current rom using clockwork mod.
I have also managed to get the phone to boot in to clockwork recovery from within the android app. But only once.
when ever i now try to do a backup, reboot into recovery, or boot to loader menu and select recovery it always fails.
I get the image of a box with the arrow next to android, then after a few seconds the box and arrow turn into a triangle with "!" inside it.
I'm probably making a rookie error here, but I'm having trouble finding the answer.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Reflash clockworkmod recovery via fastboot.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Hi and thanks for your reply
well i reflashed clockwork mod and selected to reboot into recovery, and that worked fine
I then booted back to android, selected a rom to DL and install, and got the same issue again
re-flashed again, selected a rom to install and that appears to be working
Do you have to re-flash clockwork recovery everytime? or is mine doing something weird?
Thanks again for your reply

Can anyone give me any tips?

Downgrade to older clockwork via Rom manager . I've had that problem it makes no different and it works fine
