Recovery problems with 1.33.0004 (Blank screen - black screen)

Hello and sorry for my bad english.
I was using an HTC magic 32B before getting my nexus one.
Recently I decided to give the magic to my girlfriend to remplace her old nokia.
My magic was on custom rom (Super D 1.8) but, when I want to do a hard reset, the phone just reboot.
So I tried to go to the recovery (amon ra custom recovery) to wipe or change the rom to a most recent.
And, instead of having the recovery i have a black screen, juste have to reboot the by pulling out the battery.
Also, when the phone boot i've first the "SFR" logo and then, instead of the bootimage i've only an black screen, juste the time of the bootimage, after that, i juste have to presse the menu button to wake up the device.
I don't understand what it happens bescause before getting my N1 it was working fine...
Juste see on a video i've done, a part of second before pin code asking, there is the "android" displaying...
I can't post the video cause i'm new membre
I hope someone here avec an answer !
Thanks to all the XDA comunity

Kind of a strange problem.
Does the phone boot up still?
Did you try reflashing your recovery image? (flash_image recovery recovery.img)
if not
can you get into fastboot?
if so then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from the command prompt of your pc.
Good luck.

Hello,
thanks for you answer.
I've tried to flash the recovery but didn't works.
I don't try the fastboot mod but I don't have the phone with me for the moment.
I'll try ASAP.

edit : ok I asked to my girlfriend to try, fastboot works.

Then we have a shot.
Procedure
1.Turn your phone off. Turn it on by holding Back and Power, or Vol. down and Power. Either way, boot into the bootloader.
You should see the three Androids on skateboards, and the menu title should say "Fastboot".
2.Connect your device to the computer. The display on your phone should now say "Fastboot USB".
3.Open up the shell/terminal on your computer, and type
fastboot devices [enter]Your device should be listed with it's serial number, and should say "fastboot".
4.Change directory to where you have saved your recovery image. I.e. type "cd /path/to/recovery.img in windows prompt, press enter.
5.You may issue a "dir" command (Windows) or "ls" (Unix/Linux) to make sure you are at the right directory, or just skip this step.
6.Type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [enter]
Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device.
Check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.

Okay... I think that you need the Engineering SPL because right now you should see SHIP S-ON G on your screen. That means it's the standard SPL. To modify anything you need the Engineering SPL. In this case I think you need 2004 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019 but to do that you may need to create a goldcard.
So just to verify with you, you cannot boot up your phone at all and you cannot access recovery? What do you get when you connect it to your computer, boot it up and type adb devices in the command prompt?
Also try starting the phone while holding MENU. This sometimes helps.

Thanks for your answer, i don't have the phone in my hands now, i'll ask to my girlfriend to boot it with home.
Adb devices didn't recognize my device.
edit : booting with home holding down bring me à black screen, certainly the "invisible" recovery.

There is no such thing as an invisible recovery.
It is possible that your recovery was deleted or corrupted.
If you did have a recovery you would still be able to access the device through adb. All you would need to do is place Amon_Ra recovery.img (G) onto your sdcard with another phone or adapter, place it into your damaged device and boot it into your "invisible recovery" and use adb shell devices in command prompt. If you do have a recovery image installed (but no text) you should see your device. If not then you will probably have to start over with the goldcard. If it does detect your device then all you need to do is mount /sdcardflash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (or whatever it's called)

Okay thanks, I'll try this ASAP.
I could put the recovery on the SD directly from the phone, right ?
Cause the phone could boot, just that I can't see recovery, do an hard reset and see the bootimage.

Wait! What? If the phone boots then simply put the recovery file on your sdcard and run flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img from adb shell
-or-
from terminal on your phone
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

I'll try it,
how can i acces to the terminal of the phone ?
Thanks

Through teminal emulator?

Ok, done it from the terminal emulator on the phone, seems working but still booting on a black screen

So you boot up your phone while holding the Home button and it gives you a plane black screen with absolutely NOTHING on it at all?
Hmmm... I would have to say that the next step is either:
Try a different recovery such as Clockwork
Start completely over with the Goldcard
Other than that... I really don't know.

This is exactly that, pressing home while phone is starting gives me a black screen with nothing on it.
I'll try another recovery and will see later for the goldcard.
thanks

Sounds good. Good luck.

Flashed the clockwork recovery and when trying to launch recovery it stuck on the SFR logo but normal boot still working
Edit : Using ROM Manager app it says that the clockwork recovery is installed...

Bump. I have no clue then man. I can't understand why all of a sudden you have nothing more than a blank (black) screen for recovery. The only thing left for you to try is the goldcard method. It will put your phone right back to the way that it was out of the box. Unrooted and everything. It'll be starting over from square one.
In fact, I rooted a friend Fender last night and I forgot how easy it was once you already had the goldcard. Simply:
place the card into the card slot,
reboot into bootloader,
press the back button and let it do it's thing.
Afterwards reboot the phone to bootloader again
go to fastboot mode and
fastboot flash radio radio.img,
fastboot flash hboot hboot.nb0,
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img.
Then power off the device.
Hold Home and power the device back on and Voila! You should have a recovery screen.
If that doesn't work... well... I would have to see it to believe it.
For details and links to create a goldcard just Google it. Easy to find.

Something I don't understand is that ROM Manager recognize my recovery ... so I've a recovery and it's realy invisible cause i've got this black screen ...

[Q] bricked g2 upon custom rec overy

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?

Tutorial
To do that follow the steps bellow:
KDZ Updater method
1. Boot in fastboot mode and execute the commands bellow:
- "fastboot -w"
- "fastboot erase system"
- "fastboot erase boot"
2. Reboot from fastboot directly to download mode (Power + Volume Down key)
3. Connect your phone to your PC and open KDZ Updater
4. Select any fastboot ROM
NOTE: YOU CAN NOT FLASH A NORMAL ROM!!! YOU MUST USE A FASTBOOT ROM!!!
5. Flash your rom in "Emergency Mode"
6. When finished the phone will reboot automatically
Recovery method using my brother's recovery file
1. Boot into Recovery mode
2. Wipe your user data (Factory reset)
3. Choose the update.zip file from your SD Card. You can download it here
4. After the update is done, reboot the phone
The ROM is V20A, so it supports Portuguese language.

Hi,
I have the same problem here.
I have upgraded to SwiftDroid 2.3.7 using fastboot command, because there is no boot logo and no recovery in my gt540, after updated with clockwork recovery rom.kdz. But the rom worked just fine.
I had problem the day after. My GT540 won't boot, it only vibrated and when I plug it to PC, Pc recognized fastboot mode. So I downgraded to frenchV20C.kdz without using fastboot -w fastboot erase boot and else.
Now, my gt540 is bricked, it only vibrates when I hold power button, and nothing happen. Can't boot into fastboot mode now.
Any help would be appreciated.

phone not booting up into android

hi folks don't know if i should make a new thread for this but i have not seen anything similar so here goes.
yesterday not sure if it actually matters but i dropped my phone and i picked it up the battery came off so the phone powered down but then i tried to boot it up again to no avail... the phone turns on but no matter how i do it it only boots up into recovery... if i use fast boot to remove recovery it boots up into fast boot i tried changing from the current swiftdroid asis to others like 2.1 roms, 2.2 and other 2.3 but all the same results...
how now... i am currently stuck with a lame nokia phone and i don't really want to keep it too long please help thanks!

Maybe you could flash a fastboot ROM with KDZ?

Wont that brick the phone? Due to some bootloader thing not downgrading

I not sure about that. D:
Isn't there an option to boot to 'bootloader' when in fastboot? Maybe type that option (I think it's 'fastboot reboot-bootloader') and see if it makes a reverse effect and boots into Android.

eh i think for gt540 bootloader=fastboot

Lol. of course I said that because fastboot is identified as bootloader when using fastboot/ADB/terminal. E.g. the command 'reboot bootloader' on terminal and 'adb reboot bootloader' on ADB.

yes when typing reboot bootloader in adb you are in fastboot (first time i thought my phone messed up ..) but you could try to erase everything via fastboot (boot, system, recovery, data of course) and then start again with another recovery and then install any rom via recovery

Done exactly that. I try before posting :/

Maybe the flash memory had damaged. So start in recovery then connect with usb and in adb shell try to mount /system

How do I do that the fastboot?. I can provide the tutorial. Thank you for your answer.

I'm not sure how you can get into fastboot mode w/o booting into android first and using the "reboot bootloader" command.
But, you can boot into APX mode using the reset button, then use nvflash, just like you did when you loaded the custom bootloader. Reflash the bootloader and recovery, but use one of the recovery images posted in this post

actually there is a way to boot in fastboot *usb mode bootloader things...
It's something like press power on then play with unlock/lock/unlock and sound up pressed something like that...
(I can't remember the exact action but I got this mode on my second tablet last time I was trying to "wipe all" hard way, was rebooting every 10 - 30s...)
maybe try looking if there is something or that was just a pure fantasy from my mind lol
