DHD Cannot boot in to Recovery - Help Needed Please - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I am unable to boot in to recovery on my Voda HTC Desire HD:
Build-Number: 1.39.161.1 CL278886 release keys
I was notified that i could update to 175.161.2_R so downloaded the upgrade and was all set to install the phone reboots goes to white HTC screen then starts to do the upgrade then drops out to the picture of the phone with red triangle exclamation mark.
I removed root et al and tried again with the same issue. Tried a few different things (Rom Manager, Bootstrap, manual recovery on phone and abd shell) all resulted in the same red triangle screen.
I then hard reset (restore factory settings) and tried the FOTA update which failed same result as before. I have re-rooted (visionary.r14, s-off etc).
So now i am a bit stuck and would gratefully accept any advice on how to get reboot recovery working....
Thanks in advance

[Q] HTC Desire - Firmware issues

Hi all,
I have a strange issue and i am not sure if this hs been discussed before (Looked everywhee and i cannot seem to find an answer).
The Problem: I have a Desire S and i am in Australia (Carrier: Telstra), It was working fine without any issues and i had installed Generic European Firmware in the phone, Since this morning, when the battery died the phone has been on a white screen that says hTc and nothing happenns.
I went to HBOOT and tried recovery and everything that i could, downloaded customs rom tries installing through PC and through memory card but nothing happens.
This is what my phone shows when i go into HBOOT
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT -6.98.2000 (PG8811000)
RADIO- 3822.10.08.04_M
eMMC - boot
Feb 24 2001, 21:19:05
Options that i can play around are:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY- goes back to hTc Logo and later on come up with green recycle sign and immediately after that phone icon with exlamation mark.
FACTORY RESET- goes back to hTc Logo and shows a green installation sign on the phone icon just below that progess bar with memory card at the end and goes back to hTc logo in white and stays like that.I have a Telstra's ROM (telstra.zip) in the SD Card
SYSTEM INFO
IMAGE CRC
any ideas on how can i install something on it, or do i need to send it back to HTC.
Please help!
You can install custom ROM only via Recovery. You need custom recovery for that.
The red exclamation mark confirms that you have stock recovery (press Vol UP + Power and you will enter), but it is short of options (reboot, install update.zip and wipe cache) You can try to install telstra.zip with the second option but then you will have troubles with your hboot version - 6.98. There will be a conflict with the one in the telstra.zip so you will have the white screen and logo again.
So you have 2 options:
1) flash custom Recovery via fastboot command /or Android flasher - it is easier/ and then custom ROM
2) flash eng 0.98.2000 hboot via fastboot command /or Android flasher/, then use a RUU to restore to complete stock

[Q] Desire S Not booting after update

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire S locked to T-Mobile in the UK.
They released an update today for the OS, which I downloaded and installed, however on reboot I'm now getting a red triangle.
I tried doing a recovery and then factory reset from the bootloader neither of which work (gives red triangle).
With the factory reset it looks to be searching the SD card, but I have nothing on there, is there an update file I need to load onto it?
Many thanks
TheRandom
Boot to recovery.
When on the screen with the red triangle press and hold Volume UP and Power button. This should take you to the Stock recovery.
Choose wipe cache option and then reboot.
Hope it will work for you.

[HELP RRU] HTC One M8

Hi all I've scoured the internet to the best of my abilities and can't seem to get this working.
I'm trying to go back to stock from Cyanogenmod. I've put the stock recovery 2.16.651.4 on my phone from here:
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...1-54-651-8-OTA&p=299475&viewfull=1#post299475
And then have tried to do both the SD card Hboot as well as the Fastboot methods of installing the Sprint_HTC_One_M8_2.16.651.4_RUU.zip from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729173
When I attempt the Hboot method it quickly finds the zip and says something about flashing and a vertical progress bar goes quickly. If I select recovery the phone reboots and gives me a red triangle with an exclaimation mark. If I select factory reset the phone reboots and I get a circle with two arrows before the phone reboots back into fastboot.
If I attempt RUU from fastboot I end up with a FAILED (remote: 32 header error).
At this point I'm kind of stuck any help would be appreciated.

Nexus 5 stuck at boot animation after flashing stock 5.0

First of all, I have gone through every similar post, but none helped and so created a new post
Device: Nexus 5
Tried to flash: Stock 5.0 image from Google's website
Bootloader unlocked: Yes
Method used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Tried step 1, it gave an error: archive does not contain system.sig, but it still went ahead with the process and when tried to boot into recovery to perform a wipe data/factory reset, it showed a small Android logo with a red triangle and exclamation mark.
So I tried step two and manually flashed all the files in the order and in the end (after erasing cache), I tried booting into recovery again and got the same thing. Android logo with a red triangle and exclamation mark inside it. I thought the recovery wouldn't have flashed properly, I booted into bootloader again and manually flashed recovery.img and tried. Still the same. WIthout doing a wipe data/factory reset, I do not think the phone will boot up properly. What am I to do here? Stuck in this and cannot use the phone at all. Any help at all is welcomed. Thanks in advance!
Any questions, please ask me.
Edit: I tried locking and then unlocking the bootloader and tried step 2, while booting into the recovery mode, instead of the red triangle, I got the standing Android logo with the blue sphere sort of thing revolving in it. What do I do next when I see that Android logo? Thank you

The first boot takes a LONG time. Just let it go for a while.

So, I did try as you said. I left it but it kept booting for more than 20 minutes. What to do now?
Same thing happened to me.. You just have to do a factory wipe and then reboot..
When you get to the screen with dead android, with the power button pressed, press vol up key once and you will be in the recovery screen. Do a factory wipe from the screen and reboot..
It should be working now..

Incredible. That, worked! I did a rookie mistake by pressing both at the same time which led to nothing. Got it up and running. Thank you everyone for their inputs, couldn't have done without it
The factory wide and reset does not work for me. Stills tuck at the boot animation.
I recently had the same issue with my Nexus 5 and have been back and forth with Google Play support to resolve the issue with no success on that front. However I did get my issue resolved, which was caused by a corrupt /persist filesystem. What I did was this:
Flash CWM Recovery
Reboot into Recovery
notice that /persist isn't mounted, try mounting it and it will fail
Launch and ADB shell
run 'e2fcsk /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist'
let it fix any errors found
try to mount the /persist partition, it should work now
(Optional) reboot to bootloader, flash whichever recovery you want or stay with CWM
reboot into system, all should be fine now
After successfully repairing and mounting /persist within CWM Recovery I powered off and just flashed the stock 5.0 image from the Google Factory Images page.
A special thanks to bitdomo for his information here which ultimately fixed my issues:
