After I upgraded from CM7 RC4 to CM7 final my HTC Legend got stuck in a boot loop and i can't even get into recovery mode. When I select recovery mode in hboot I get to the red !. Usually starting the "recovery-windows.bat" gets the phone into the green recovery mode. However the first time i start this recovery file in windows the window appears after some second. When I start it again it fades of immidiately. Seems like the phone isn't connected to my pc anymore, but i did it the exact same way i flashed from rc4 -> final and this worked.
Is there any other way of entering the recovery mode and restorting my broken phone?

Did you try pressing Power + Vol Up while on the screen with the red triangle? Worked with me

hi, everyone i have a problem after flashing to official 2.3.5 rom beta v2 and i have some issues...
1.my phone bricked 2-3 times
2.after i reinstalled 2.3.5 although i put Clockwork Mod Recovery i can't get to recovery (volume up +power) or pink screen to change the recovery img again
3.can somebody tell me what to do so that i don't have bootlooping problems and make my phone more stable???
thank you in advance!!!!!!!!!!!
What happens when you try to boot to pink screen?
If the update starts, try removing your sd-card first.
Remember that you need this CWM recovery when you've updated to stock 2.3.
And by the way, one exclamation mark is enough...
i can't get to the pink screen because when i press volume up+down +power my phone opens normally and doesn't get in the pink screen
And you're holding in all 3 buttons until something happens? I need to hold the buttons down for a while, until the screen suddenly turns pink.
i 've done it before and i know how to do it the problem is after the last time that i put the 2.3.5 rom now i can't get in the recovery menu or the pink screen because even if i press volume up+power or volume up+volume down+power the phone starts normally instead of getting in the recovery menu or pink screen
Ok. Does it start the update if you have update.app in dload-folder on the sd-card?

I had MIUI and performed a hard reset. Now I can't boot into MIUI and CM7, and as far as I understand I need to flash stock firmware to start everything from scratch. But how can I get to flashing stock firmware if I can't connect it in USB debugging mode?
So rsd is not detecting your phone? Do you see a white notification light when you connect it to your PC? If you see the light, and rsd doesn't detect I think all you have to do is hit the power button once and then the computer should connect.

You can flash via cwm if boot menu is working...

Yes, there is a white notification light the same moment I plug it to my PC, then it turns on and tries to boot. But RSD doesn't see it.
I've tried flashing MIUI and CM7 via CWM, but the phone doesn't boot. I believe I'm doing it wrong. So I wanted to flash stock with RSD and try again.
when you see white light ,try push and keep power button and vol- and vol+ ,i made like this and rds lite saw my phone
Doesn't seem to work for me.
Can you enter the bootloader mode at all? Its volume down and power button combination which is required
Also, before doing that try data wipe from cwm

The Bootmenu? I enter it by pressing volume down when the blue led is flashing.
I've made a dozen data wipes, cache wipes and dalvik cache wipes. None of them helped.
Wow. I've chosen "2nd init + adb" boot mode instead of "2nd init", and loaded to CM7!
Will investigate it. But not today, too tired anyway.
Okay, so I've found how to boot it. I just need to connect it to computer and choose "2nd init + adb" booting. Am I right to suppose that the best thing to do now is flashing it with stock firmware via RSD?
Now I've got another problem: 2ndInit installation fails. I've tried 1.4.2 (hangs instantly after pressing the "Install 2ndInit Recovery" button) and 2.0 (hangs after downloading the stable bootmenu).
A few minutes later it closes the "Downloading" window and asks if superuser is installed (it is, I've already rooted the phone with SuperOneClick). So I see the problem is that it can't get root permissions. How can I fix it?
Edit: okay, rebooting the phone worked.
For some reason I can't boot into recovery mode. Yesterday I tried to flash the PAC ROM but got stuck in the "PAC is loading" screen. I had to turn off and flash back to stock with RSD light. Now, I can't get into my recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0). When I use adb to get to recovery I get a screen with a fallen over android with its hood open and a a red triangle with a exclamation mark in the middle. I've tried to re-flash TWRP but that doesn't change anything. I'm assuming this is some kind of error, anybody know what to do? I've also tried to use cwm but I can't get into that either.
Also, how do I not get stuck in that "PAC is loading" screen when flashing?

The easiest way to get into recovery is to power down, hold all three buttons and select recovery. Try wiping data after flashing PAC. Make sure your boot loader is unlocked.

Yup, did all of this, same result. My bootloader is unlocked.

couple of things:
1.) battery could be low, and thus unable to boot up. I would suggest plugging it in (outlet, not PC). let it sit for 15 minutes. you should see the battery charging screen. after waiting 15 minutes, try to get into recovery via power+volume up+ volume down, then select recovery
2.) doing the RSD could wipe the recovery - are you able to boot up normally into the ROM? if not, make sure you have all of the drivers installed on your PC, and re-read the installation instructions (I'm sure you already have, but sometimes going over them again might open your eyes up to something you forgot)
I'm not sure where it is, but see if you can boot into safemode (google search for it).
my only similar experience is when I tried to install a custom kernel on PAC, and nothing would display on my screen (despite me hearing notifications). I tried several times to get back into TWRP, but finally got it after pressing the three buttons, waiting about 10 seconds, pressing volume down one time, then volume up once (the pattern to get into recovery)
hope this helps.
RSD flashes your stock recovery again.
Hold volume up + down + power, wait for 5 seconds for the phone to power off.
Then hold the same, volume up + down + power to get into your menu screen, select adb fast boot and flash your recovery. (fastboot flash recovery YOUR_RECOVERY_FILE.img)
Power + Volume Down (-) = Reboot
During reboot:
Press and hold Volume Up (+) = Recovery
Press and hold Volume Down (-) = Fast Boot
Press and hold Volume Up (+) and Volume Down (-) = Boot Menu
Here's my problem.
I can't get into recovery by pressing the power up, home, power buttons. It says it's 'entering recovery', but then it gives another 'buzz' (like when the phone starts), and just reboots normally.
I used to be able to get into recovery with ROMManager, by selecting the 'boot into recovery'. Then I just got into my CWM and could do whatever I wanted. Now I can't do that anymore, probably because my device is not rooted atm (got CM12 on it though). I wanted to root it, but I can't get into recovery.
I already tried flashing TWRP with Odin (download mode does work), but that doesn't work either. I obviously searched google and XDA for the problem, and I saw suggestions for other phones, like updating the bootloader. But I can't find any information or files for updating the bootloader.

Reboots trying to go custom recovery are normal sometimes.
Lil guide for enter custom recovery (TWRP):
1. Power off your device completely.
2. Press and hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously.
3. Release only the Power button when the logo of Samsung in white appears (you will see little letters in blue and red on the top left of the screen).
4. You will see the blue logo of TWRP (pic attached) then and you can release all buttons and start to navigate for the custom recovery.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think you understood my question. I know how to get into recovery when it all works. I've done it many times before. The problem is that it shuts down while booting into recovery, and then just reboots normally.
I only installed TWRP because CWM wouldn't work, but TWRP doesn't either. So I guess it has to do with how the device boots into recovery, regardless of what the recovery is.
Anyone? I kinda want to flash another ROM, but I'm unable to right now.

I don't think that's the problem. I have 0 issues with the power button. Also, when I try to boot into recovery, it actually says it's 'starting recovery'. Then it stops with a buzz and reboots.

Hello! Here is my story:
I had a rooted stock os where i just changed the boot anim and everything was fine. I rebooted my device yesterday , the boot anim was fine etc. until today. When i rebooted my phone today , it booted into download mode with no reason. I didnt do any crap on it and it was fine until today. When i was in download mode i remembered i had a custom rom on my sd card so i wanted to flash twrp. I flashed it without factory reset and it didnt work. Now im stuck in a boot loop and i tried entering recovery but doesnt work.
Ok so i saw you can enter download mode with some key combo but u need the home button which this phone doesnt have (on screen controls).
Is there a way i can go in download mode and flash stock firmware with odin or unbrick the phone?
Enter Download Mode : Turn Power Off. Press and hold Volume Up key + Power Key, When Samsung Logo appears release Power Key only, keep pressing Volume Up key until Android Recovery Mode Appears.
I managed to find this method a long time ago so its fixed. Thanks for responding doe.
