[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] Problems with going into ClockworkMod Recovery mode

I have rooted my HTC Wildfire and now i need to get CyanogenMod 7 on it ...
i have downloaded Rom manager i flashed ClockworkMod Recovery mode into the phone...
But when i enter Recovery mode its just the regular Recovery screen that comes up...
I have tryied this 3 times and it still wont work (also after resetting the whole phone)
How do i get ClockworkMod Recovery mode on my phone then ?
EDIT :
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?

Flashing from rom manager will not give a permanent recovery for wildfire (when there is no custom recovery at first). But such kind of process is there for other phones.

So how to get cm7 based recovery . Cm7 needs CWM 3.x or higher recovery. The answer depends on whether u have used unrevoked or alpharev (=revolutionary) to root ur phone.
If u used unrevoked, u must be having some recovery. Here u can use rom manager to flash 3.x recovery and reboot to recovery from within rom manager to temporarily get 3.x + recovery which can flash cm7. Or u can download a 3.x + recovery.img file and use unrevoked again to flash that recovery. Here u should select the custom recovery option in unrevoked and point to ur downloaded file.
And if u have used revolutionary, there will be an option during the revolutionary process where to install custom recovery or not. U can choose to install. Or once u have s-off, fastboot flashing will be enabled. So u can flash a recovery from fastboot with the help of a PC. This is more preferrable. There are also other options. If u search the dev forums u will see posts explaining to install recovery through "pc49img" method. Also "flash_image" method. Both these wont need a pc unlike all the above methods.

Problem solved but a new one is here
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?

Choose 'Install Zip from SDCard', not 'Apply update from SDCard'

I have tryied all of them....
inclusive "power down" and not even that works its only removing the text and nothing new comes up

Use the trackball for selecting stuff in Clockworkmod. Not the Power button.

WOW FAIL BY ME !!!
Sry guys im still noob at rooting
Thank you for the help.
PROBLEM SOLVED!

[Q] AD Recovery - no boot scources

Hi
It's probably been asked before but I still have trouble finding my way through this forum...
It's the first time I tried to install Android on my HD2. I got the newest Radio and was able to install Magldr. I wanted to try the Team Blue Droid Version ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275119 ) and got to the step where I should hit "AD Recovery" in the boot menue. Sadly, it says "no boot scources"
I copied the zip-file onto my SD-Card, shouldn't it be able to find it? Or do I have to do something else?
And on a side note: is it possible to go back and get my old windows 6.5 running again? I'm kind of panicking here ^^°
I would be very, very happy if somebody would be able to help me.

Seems that you've not installed ClockworkMod with correct partition layout for this rom.
Without CWM you could not boot into AD Recovery to flash your rom.

[Q] Impossible to go in recovery mode

Hi guys, I'm trying to install the cyanogen on my defy, but the problem is that I can't go in recovery mode.
I used Rom Manager for download the rom, and that was ok, but when I try to go in the recovery mode, the mobile phone show me a yellow exclamation mark with android logo.
The mobile phone is already rooted, how can I solve this problem?
Thanks!

i read somewhere you can't use rom manager with defy because of the locked boot loader. you need to install 2ndinit and go from there.
you can roughly follow the instructions here to install cm7, but bear in mind that some of the infos and links are out of date:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447
you can't find 2ndinit in the market anymore. you have to search for it, download and put it into your phone's sd card. use a file manager to open and install it.
once you have installed 2ndinit, continue from step 6.

thanks so much! I solved the problem!

[Q] Running android but how do i know?

I bought my phone and its running android . Cool right ? NO I hate the rom lol and idk if I need to follow the sd card section or the other section of android development. Will someone please help me.. Gapps screwed up . I downloaded rom manager and flashed clockwork mod recovery it SAID it was successful but when I reboot into recovery it just sits at splash screen a extra second and then boots normally. it wont even factory reset with the button in the battery compartment..

There is a long answer for your post, but I am too lazy now.
In short(applicable to original HD2 not chinese copy):
You're either running magldr or cLK, you can't hardreset those to get your winmo, you need to flash it manually. I'd assume magldr since ROM manager broke your recovery.
To get it up and running again:
-if you want winmo, just download a rom and run the exe file with your phone connect. (of course you should have the drivers of activsync)
-android ... you can download the HD2 nand toolkit and (assuming you have magldr) repartition magldr's recovery and then flash a rom of your choice.
How to know if you have magldr or cLK:
-MAGLDR: boot up your phone and hold the end button, if you see numbered options and at the top you see "aMAGLDR" then .. duh .. you have magldr.
-cLK : depending on the version .. well, if it's not magldr then it's cLK.

^And judging by what you said I'm going to hazard a guess at MAGLDR. Reboot into recovery doesn't work with MAGLDR and when you tried to flash CWM via ROM manager you corrupted your recovery so it won't boot into recovery any more. If you hold the power button as Marvlesz said and you get to the MAGLDR menu, then follow the guide in my sig to flash CWM again and a new ROM (don't forget to backup in Titanium backup if you want your apps). If cLK, then you'll have to search for a different guide and follow that instead.

Не очень понимаю вас.

thanks
thanks guys its magdlr
