Hi People of XDA, i downloaded clockwork mod from rom manager not long ago and found out that if i hold the down volume button it takes you to something called HBOOT and some modes like fast boot mode, simlock and recovery and was just wondering what can i do with this and how and what potentials does it have??? any help would be great!
It's like the BIOS of a computer. HBOOT allows you to boot into recovery (only if you rooted your phone and flashed a recovery).
And you know that a recovery allows you to load roms, perform backups and restores, wipes data, cache and a lot of other utilities.
What does simlock do?

Stock rom doesn't have recovery
From XDA App
You will have to flash using a ROM that has fastboot enabled.
Recover mode isn't working for me either, black rom, 0.3.1 kernel, clockwork 2.5.0.5. Just a screen full of text scrolling. Any ideas?
to have recovery on your phone,you have to have a fastboot rom.
Black rom has fastboot. Tried Rom Manager and it seemed to 'try' to get into recovery but didn't, maybe a permission's thing or it doesn't work at all.
Flashed & wiped and the text problem still happened without trying clockwork so it wasn't clockwork causing the error. Bugger!
I was running CM7 RC3 fine on my phone, then I decided to switch back to my nandroid backup to stock ( I have done this wil ICed glacier/CM7 RC2/RC1/Royal Ginger etc with no problems). And I have been stuck on the boot splash screen the "Tmobile Mytouch 4g" screen for 20 minutes now without any action... is this a brick? I know I should not worry, but I tried wiping the dalvik cache the acahe and reset to factory setting.... still nothing
How do I go about getting the phone to work?
Thanks
are you running recovery 3.0.0.6? have you tried a battery pull?
Yes, a battery pull was tried, and I am running 3.0.0.5... any help is really appreciated
How do I possibly install 3.0.0.6 now? is it possible?
Thanks
need 3.0.0.6 to run stock or royal glacier. or 2.5.1.2. need to reinstall cm7 and use rom manager to flash recovery. or at least its the eaisest way for me.
follow drews guide and let us know how it goes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681
unfortunately, I am not being able to go back to royal ginger (its on the toyal ginger splash screen now) I am downloading CM7 RC3 again, but have no way to put it on the sdcard coz I do not have a card reader at this point....... so frustrated.
you can use recovery to mount usb and it will mount the sd card and can tranfer files from computer to card. if you can get to recovery its not bricked. make sure you format boot sys data and cache in mount screen before trying reflash.
Push the cwm 3.0.0.6 recovery image to your phone via adb

Google easy way to get 3.0.0.6 and it should be a zip file u flash in recovery called clockwork_recoveries.zip or something like that. You go into rom manager pick all recoveries and flash 3.0.0.5 and reboot into recovery and it should say 3.0.0.6 now u can flash any rom and restore without getting stuck

Your phone is not bricked. As others have stated, you need to re-flash a gingerbread ROM (like CM7) in order for it to boot.
Best thing to do is install ClockworkMod Recovery version 3.0.0.6 because it can flash both gingerbread and froyo ROMs. You can do this in two ways:
1. Re-flash a Gingerbread ROM. Download TrueBlue_Drew's .zip file from his thread in Development and follow his instructions to be able to flash the included recovery images from ROM Manager.
2. If you have the engineering bootloader (0.85.2007, also some people call it ENG SPL), and if you've set up ADB on your computer, then you can use the fastboot utility to flash recovery images directly to the device. I personally prefer this method. If you can't find instructions to do this, PM me.
I have hacked my phone and successfully rooted it with the help of AlpharevX and the guide to root by Nejc. But after that everything is fine except onething. While the phone is charging and I turn off the phone then the red led continues to light up even when i disconnect the cable. And after that the power button does not work until i reinsert the battery... Earlier before rooting and S-off this did not use to happen. Please help!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014498
This file needs to be flashed in HBoot or through pc by flash commands?

Can be done in both ways.
When through hboot menu, the recovery.img along with android-info.txt are to be packed into a zip file named PC49IMG.ZIP and kept at the root of memory card.
When from fastboot flash the recovery.img is to be kept in folder where fastboot.exe lies and use it with android sdk. The command is already said.

I also suffer from an unusual problem. After installing clock work mod recovery and rooting ....I decided to factory reset my phone(God knows what made me do this). And When It rebooted then 2 things dont work the htc scenes and the setup app. It is not leading to any other problem ( I can live with it) but still I would like to remove this problem..... No matter what i do or how many times i restarted the phone these 2 things just dont work
Hi can any1 help ive got 2 recoveries i can get into cwm 5.0.2.0 through rom manager but when i go to recovery through holding the power button or through the hboot menu i get cwm 2.5.0.7 ive used unrevoked to install a custom recovery but its stil 2.5.0.7 through hboot and power button

ROM Manager's Recovery is "temporary". The one which you can access using Vol Down + Power is your actual recovery. Probably Unrevoked didn't work, or you changed to Custom Recovery after it started doing its thing. Also, I assume you are using the IMG file in Unrevoked's Custom Recovery Option.

is it possible to replace official recovery with clockwork recovery in stock rom?
i have a goldcard but it does not let me sappimg roms different from my stock rom.
i donot have a cw or amon recovery. i need the recovery to get the engineering spl.
since only my stockrom can be sappimg'ed, how can i get the clockwork recovery by replacing My stockrom's original recovery with the cw/amon recovery??
can it be done??
thanks.
-------reason...
i had 3.22 radio, but i flashed another stockrom (htc europe 3.05 rom) which was devided in rom and rom1 files. i flashed rom1, sys,userdata,recovery. rom file had hboot,boot and radio 6.35.
i was unable to flash rom file (hboot,boot and radio 6.35) because when radio starts updating, the screen starts changing colours to grey for, like, 40 minutes (does this normally happen??)
now i have old radio, incompatible hboot/boot file- to correct it, i need Recovery
---EDIT---
MY phones stuck in hboot mode, i have no other option except goldcard, but what about what i have written, does it work?
Download rom manager from the market, although depending on your rom it may not be available (android 2.1) if not download it off Google by typing, rom manager.apk. Once installed you can add the new clockwork recovery or the RA recovery via the application, they both work fine. Hope that's helped!

You can, but i suppose that Amon Ra is better than others.
I would also suggest same solution as Tenpin wrote. Rom manager and it allows to change recovery (I suggest Amon Ra as well).
If you do get your phone sorted, remember the stock Rom reflashes the stock recovery every time you shut your phone down.
Also, I believe if you extract the proper signed Rom.zip from the ruu and put it on your sdcard and press volume down when in fastboot, it should search for and flash the Rom.zip. At least then you will have a Rom to boot into to flash a new recovery.
My old hero messed up once too, I would seriously recommend flashing the s-off bootloader, makes recovering from errors such as this so much easier.
