I tried the superboot one click root method, and it bricked my phone. I have adb installed and I THINK I have clockwork installed, but I can't flash a ROM from ADB. I'd be more than happy to ship my phone to someone who knows (not THINKS) they can get my phone operable.
Can you still boot into fastboot and recovery? If you can still get into ClockworkMod recovery, you can still flash the stock ROM again to revive it.

So I have been trying at putting a custom rom and partitioning the phone with LDXE or Ubuntu for about two days now. I have tried several different custom recovery.img files but I keep running into the same issue. I can't flash the recovery through fastboot because the phone isn't rooted. I cannot root the phone because the phone isn't rooted. This is because the rootme tutorials require that you flash the recovery before the phone is ever rooted. Now, whenever I goto the recovery screen I also get an exclamation point over a phone. I read in a few places that this is also a big issue but I couldn't find how to fix it.
So does anyone have any advice on rooting this HTC sapphire 32A?

No, you can't flash a recovery image via fastboot because you have a perfected/non-engineering SPL, but you'd need root flash this.
Could you post the information shown in fastboot and the information in Settings>about?
ok so i wanted to flash clockwork 3.0 but i was still running cm 6.1.1 and now i am stuck at the htc boot screen. i also cant get into recovery please i am begging for help.
please someone i really need help i obviously cant use my warranty obviously so please help me restore this or just get it back to working without a root anything
Dont worry pal.
OK,... AFAIK...... If you have flashed ClockworkRecovery 3, the only ROMs that will work are the 2.3 ROMs,... If you are trying to boot up a 2.2 ROM, it is likely to bootloop.
So boot back into recovery, full wipes, then flash a 2.3 ROM,... If that is what you were planning to do.
If you want to keep your 2.2 ROM on,... flash back to an older Clockwork Recovery,... then try to boot? If you get boot loops, try wiping cache and try again. If it still fails I would just do a fresh flash of your ROM again,... Remember full wipes 1st.

Can you boot into Hboot screen (phone off then volume-down + power)? If yes try to select recovery from the Hboot screen, it should reboot into recovery, if it doesn't and something is wrong with your recovery, Do you have an Eng. Hboot? , if yes do you have Andriod SDK set up and fastboot? If yes, boot into Hboot, select fastboot from the options, then plug in your usb. Once your device is recognized by fastboot:
Code:
fastboot devices
should return a serial number + "fastboot"
then reflash ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( you can download it from here:http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html then place the ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( make sure its named recovery.img) into the tools folder in AndriodSDk where Fastboot is located, then run the command :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
once rebooted your probably gonna be stuck at the HTC screen again, pull the battery, then Volume-down+ power back into Hboot, then select recovery from Hboot screen and it sholud reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, then reflash the rom of your choice.
thanks but i already fixed it by pressing sim lock and i have no idea why that worked and i should probably set up adb now right?

Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I recently receive my Nexus One back from HTC to fix the power button. Since I received the phone back, I rooted using Super-One-Click , and installed Rom Manager to restore my phone to the rom I was using before I sent my phone away. Everything worked as expected, and my phone was fully restored. I tried to install Trackball wake and unlock from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715117&highlight=trackball) and this is where my problems started. I used Root Manager to install the android.policy.jar and updated the permissions. I rebooted my phone and the phone will not get passed the “X” boot screen. I booted my phone into Bootloader mode (Power + Volume Down) and was going to push a new android.policy.jar file through ADB, but I could not connect to the phone through ADB. I do not believe I ever turned Debugging Mode on while the phone was working properly. I booted my phone into recovery and was going to restore my phone through clockwork recovery only to find out my phone did not have clockwork recovery flashed, but instead it had the stock recovery loaded. I than tried to restore my phone back to a stock image through loading a signed update.zip but that did not work. I than tried to downgrade using the PASSIMG.img method found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus), but my phone currently has hboot-0.35.0017 and will not accept the PASSIMG.img. When I try to load the PASSIMG.img I get an error stating “Main version is older!”. I for some reason cannot get adb to recognize my phone, so I don’t think I can downgrade my hboot. I have been able to get fastboot to recognize my phone, but for some reason the phone will not let my flash any files via fastboot. I would really like to find a way to restore my phone to a stock image so I can start the process over from scratch. I really would like to keep my bootloader locked if at all possible as the phone is still under warranty. Any assistance anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I left out any information that would usefully in fixing my problem. Thanks!
HBoot-0.35.0017
Bootloader-Locked
Current Rom Version-2.2.1 (this rom should be rooted)
Recovery Image: Stock
Shortly, you have the ROM faulty, while not having the custom recovery installed and bootloader is still locked. What's worse, ADB daemon isn't running, since you didn't enable USB debug.
In that case, there's not much you can do. You can try to connect ADB - and remember that you can't use ADB when in bootloader, you need to let the phone start booting. You can try to connect through ADB either when the phone is in stock recovery, or when the phone is booting (unsuccessfully). If it doesn't connect - then nothing is left, either unlock the bootloader or return the phone again.
I appreciate the insight. Once the bootloader is unlocked, I will be able to flash an alternate recovery through fastboot, correct? Thanks again for the help.
Update: I went through and unlocked the bootloader, flashed clockwork recovery and restored from my backup. Everything is now working great. Thanks for your help.
Hello,
i need your help. I rooted my xoom. Now i see only the boot animation.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you
yes, I think so.
I once bricked my galaxy tab and learned, that it was neraly unbrickable.
Thought, i bricked my zoom too while rooting.
You need adb and fastboot installed on your pc an actual usb-drivers. With that you can fix almost everything.
after that - in short words - is booting into the bootloader (fastboot) mode, after that fastboot flash recovery revovery_3_0_2_8.img
Get the tiamat 1.4.1 kernel, put the zip-file on a sd-card (mounted via the clockwork recovery), after that install that kernel via the "recovery-console"
I'm trying to install the newest version of TWRP after attempting to install a new ROM and realizing that I need to update my recovery. I can't reboot the phone into Android, and I also can't install the new recovery since my phone isn't recognized in ADB. Is there any way to get it recognized without it needing to be booted into Android?
How did you flash the recovery in the first place? Surely you used fastboot, You do it the same way 'fastboot flash recovery [pathtorecovery.img]'
