Black screen in ClockworkMod

I have CM7 installed and when I reboot into recovery, the HTC logo comes up for a second and then just fades away into blackness...and nothing else happens.
ROM Manager says ClockworkMod version 3.0.0.6 and it said flash successful when I flashed it.
Something I am doing wrong?

I used the Simple OneClick root method and encountered the same thing. Using the Fixes button in that program said it was a common occurrence and that flashing ENG S-OFF would solve it. I did and it did. YMMV

You don't need to flash eng s-off.
You could revert back to stock and run the hack kit, instead of doing eng s-off.

Or you could click the Fixes button and let it do it for you. It may not be the preferred method but it worked for me where the Hack kit did not.

It is by far not the preferred method, and is one of the easiest ways to completely brick this phone(if you mess up). There is absolutely no reason to eng s-off the phone. You can just as easily revert the phone back to stock, then run the hack kit to do it properly.

ENG S-OFF makes me nervous, especially letting a tool automatically do it for me. No way to flash Clockwork via a different method or anything?
Also, I noticed in HBOOT I cant control anything with the volume buttons. Is this a know bug also?

you can completely return back to stock and run the Ace Hack Kit

Do I NEED Clockwork?
I have been using my phone for a while without it, and worst case scenario I can always use HBOOT to restore the stock rooted ROM.
So other than not being able to manually flash, whats the point?

If ENG S-off makes you nervous then reverse it, I had eng S-off and tried a few radio's but found that the AT&T radio worked just fine so I reversed it. If you did the one click s-off to do it you should have three files it put on your SD card, one would say original Hboot, if they are on it then you can reverse it if not then you have to do something else.
Let's say they are there, then you need to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
Halfway down the first post in a grey box is the command that you need to input through terminal emulator on your phone, once you do it, it will say a number in and a number out, when it is done exit the emulator and you have reversed Eng S-off. It is very simple and quick to do but will only work if you have those files on your SD Card.

You can flash/backup/restore any rom using rom manager with no eng s-off. CWM is doing its work even with the black screen, Just let it do the job, it takes about 3 min for rom flashing and 5 min for backup/restore and then the phone reboots normally.
If you're eng s-off and want to take it back to s-off there is an easy way to do it and clean up the boot at same time. It is to flash this PD98IMG file using bootloader: http://www.google.com/url?q=http://...sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFB5N69qN9TwX6vS7wvJQ7ZlSxiWw

I had this problem as well. the one click "fix" is what corrected it for me.
eng S-Off is NOT needed on this phone, but I did it anyway. I used the one click method as mentioned above... Clicked on fixes, click eng s-off, and all is well.
The program has a fail-safe built into it. It states MANY MANY MANY times during the root process that if a particular step fails, what to do, and where to start from again. It was great! ...Just saying...

Question: If you use this PD98IMG to take Eng S-Off and have backed up using Clockwork recovery mod, when you had the Eng S-Off when you restore, the clockwork file will the Eng S-Off come back or will it just be S- Off?

You can use the PD98IMG to turn off eng s-off, it will put you on a rooted stock rom. the PD98IMG flashes a new boot image, so you will have radio s-off hboot.
You can recover your rom after that.

Inspire 4G---crashed..pls help !!!!
Namaste,
I bought a new HTC Inspire 4G with android 2.3.3 gingerbread
then i root it using Ace Hack Kit aahk-13012012
the first time I ran hack kit, every thing went smoothly, but in the end, it was S-ON but it should have been S-OFF.
Then I try to run the kit again, but it wont go ahead and stops with the error saying "Radio Downgrade Failed: Either goldcard failed or usb connections not 100".
Next thing I try is that, I factory reset the phone, and try running the kit again....It runs smoothly till the point the screen is blank & it says "Radio downgrade complete - starting next process - please be patient..."...I wait for 1 hour, but nothing happens.
Then I Ctrl+C the Cmd and unplug the phone. The screen remains the same..
I removed the battery and try to start the phone.HTC logo appears and the fades away.
I reinsert the battery again and press volume down+power to see the following screen.

Looking for a little help with desire s on 2.3.5

Ok i have been going over every inch of the forums and all over the internet and i really run out of ideas.
i have a HTC Desire S on 2.3.5 with HBoot 2.00.0002, ive used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader and used superoneclick to root my phone (sort of) but my phone is stuck with S-ON.
i have tried everything i have found but the bootloader is stuck on the stock one, i have Rom Manager on my phone and ive tried the 4EXT but because of the phone being stuck on S-ON when it goes to the recovery part it errors out and i have to jack the battery out to get it to restart.....
HELP please :3

First your rom is rooted but system is not. You can install custom recovery , but use fastboot to flash it and all will works fine. For this problem when you go recovery you don't need to pull battery never pull it for this phone. Press volume up+volume down and then press power button and keep all pressed and phone will reboot normal

@RageReaper
Not really sure whats going on, cause you are confused and should do MORE reading.
Root is not the same as s-off, so look into that.
You unlocked your bootloader using HTCdev, thus you are still s-on and stock hboot but now can root your phone, have a custom recovery and flash roms. - NORMAL!!!!
Try flash the recovery in fastboot.
Just to be sure your hboot does say UNLOCKED at the top right?

yes it says its UNLOCKED but im trying to S-off my phone so i can make a copy of my OS so if something goes wrong i can always go back to it
so whats the best way to S-off my desire s?, Thank you in advance and to the people that will help

@RageReaper
You can do that once you install a custom recovery. Nandroid backup..

Ive managed to root my older android phones but this is really starting to bug me I can't get nandroid to work because after I used superoneclick I installed Rom manager to make a back up and it did the clockwork mod but the recovery part of my hboot errors out this is why I'm asking for help because I think I dropped the ball on this one

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you

It doesn't matter if the guides are talking can't s-off phone's and different hboot's, they will work still.
Do the following,
-Turn off fastboot menu/settings/power/
fastboot (on the phone)
-Turn on USB debugging menu/Settings/
Applications/Development/ USB debugging (on
the phone)
Okay, get into fastboot, boot into your hboot (switch phone off and the
press power+vol down)
Plug your phone in,
Now your phone is plugged in and in hboot, press the power button once, it'll say something like fastboot usb.
Follow the link I gave you now.

Is there a perm fix for this, or every time I power off am I going to have to rework something?

Your phone should be rebooting fine, did you do a full wipe and fastboot the boot.img?
Fulle wipe is:
Format system
Format cache
Format data
Format sd EXT ( if you have an ext for a2sd, most users dont have an EXT partition )
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash ROM
Flash gapps ( if AOSP )
Fasboot flash boot.img
Finally reboot

I'm not sure which PG59IMG file you're talking about but if you're having these many problems why don't ou just try to flash back to stock and start the process over? If you're S-On too you're going to need a signed copy which would be one of the Tmo OTA files they sent out. If you'll hit the "Blue6IX" Link in my signature and look at the last entries for the first post you'll see the ones for the appropriate Hboot software version you're running. With S-On it will only let you load the right one anyway if you don't know which one you're on. (...and I guess if you have S-Off, there IS no wrong one)

Please Help!

Ok,
So I've used roms on my hd2 and one x, so I thought this would be simple on a friends sensation, oh how wrong was I.
I have unlocked the sensation via htcdev, installed clockworkmod and installed pyramids jellybean rom.
Now I have all sorts of issues, the rom boots then drops somehow straight to clockworkmod. I can't mount the sd card within clockworkmod to try a different rom and the phone is now useless, doh.
How can I fix this please guys?

Did you update the firmware? Are you s off or s on? If your s on you must flash boot image. Download 4 ext recovery, enable smart flash in 4ext. This way you can flash boot image. Please read flashing roms with s on. Also for that rom the firmware must also be upgraded. Let me link you to the guide to flashing roms with s on. This will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Someone more knowledgeable than myself can give you step by step instructions to get you out of this pinch. But in the mean time read the link I posted about flashing with s on. It will help in the future. Best wishes not to worry I'm sure you can fix this.

HTC Dev doesn't really unlock it. It only partially unlocks it.
It doesn't s-off the device so you don't have access to the system partition, meaning you can't properly install a custom ROM without a few extra steps. And I don't think you can do it at all with clockworkmod. You need 4EXT Recovery which can flash a ROM with s-on. There's a few extra steps to doing it but it works.
You also have to make sure you have the correct firmware. So if the device was previously on a Gingerbread ROM and you didn't upgrade firmware, it won't work.
Now, the part where it boots then drops back into recovery is weird.
Tell us exactly what steps you did so we can better determine where something went flukely.
I'm CERTAIN it's fixable though.

Yeah I'm certain it's fixable too , just not sure how, lol. I'll give 4EXT a shot. I have no idea how or why it drops straight to clockworkmod either, I would expect it to reboot to clockworkmod if anything, but it just kind of switches from the rom straight to it, very odd.
If you could point me to a firmware I might need I would be very grateful.

It is universal 3.33 let me get link also 3.32 will work on most ics roms but 3.33 is the newest I'm running jelly bean and use 3.33

If you are s-off you shouldn't have to flash boot.img separately. It will do all that with the ROM flash.
Maybe that's what's screwy. Though a borked up ROM still shouldn't affect SD card mounting in recovery...that is really weird. Do you have a card reader that you can use to check the card out in your computer? I'm wondering if somehow you screwed up the card when flashing the ROM. Maybe it wont' mount because the card isn't formatted properly anymore. Stuff like that has happened before.

Yes if your s off you simply flash from recovery without boot img. But do update your firmware.

Try and find a RUU HERE that matches your area and carrier.

Yup. If you have the 1.18 hboot you have Gingerbread firmware, which won't support Jellybean or ICS.
The good news is that you can flash a gingerbread rom and get the phone back to a working state right away if you need to get the phone back to the owner.
The RUU to restore is pretty simple. Then Revolutionary s-off proceedure is also extremely painless.
Reverting back to stock and starting over to s-off shouldn't take more than 15 minutes if you do it right. Then flashing the ICS/GB firmware (3.32 or 3.33) takes 3 minutes. Then the new rom takes 3 more minutes.
Just make sure you RUU to gingerbread and not to ICS. The ICS Hboots are harder to s-off. It's worth adding the extra step to flash the ICS/JB firmware later.

How to FORMAT ALL partition?

Hi all,
My sensation has been shutting down for no reason for a long time now. No matter what ROM, what kernel, even I have changed the battery twice. It just sometimes turns off, and when I reboot (if it does) it either has very low battery or it will keep shutting down until I plug it in.
To me, it seems like there is something misleading the power level or something. I have super wiped the phone, even reformatted my SD, changed recovery and did the same, flashed thousands of roms (4.1 and 4.2)... and it still does the same.
Funny enough, it doesnt happen when I am in recovery mode (for example, after it shuts down, I reboot into recovery, spend some time there, then reboot and as soon as it boots, bam it shuts down).
This makes me think there is something in a partition that is not touched by the wiping scripts that is bugged and therefore is not fixed after flashing roms etc.
I recently manually wiped and formatted all of my Asus Transformer's partitions (even the recovery) using my PC and it works great, that fixed a problem that also was carried on from ROM to ROM. Hopefully there is a way to do the same for my sensation to give it a 100% clean start.
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,
The recovery 4EXT has a "Format all partitions except sd card" option.
Look HERE for an installation guide.
Alternatively,you could run a RUU ,which will return all your partitions to stock.
Look HERE
Have you tried the trick of jamming some card to improve the contact of your battery?
It may just be loose,and the card keeps it firmly in place.

Have you tried the trick of jamming some card to improve the contact of your battery?
It may just be loose,and the card keeps it firmly in place.

Hi, thank you for your reply.
I used to have 4ext and I have used many times the format all option. I recently switched to TWRP recovery to try their formatting options too. Neither solved the problem.
Also, I have two anker batteries, I have made sure they are not loose. Nevertheless, this happens even when the phone resting on the table, so I am sure that is not the issue. I have switched them wth my gf's sensation, and hers works fine and mine doesn't.
I will try the RUU option to see if going back to stock will remove any kind of bricking that may have occured after so many flashes..
do you think there is anything that is not touched by rom flashing, recovery changing, and partition formatting that may be the cause of the problem? I also updated the firmware too 3.32 I believe it was (the latest) for JB 4.2.2... I dont know what else I can flash or change or format to try to eliminate this powering-off issue...
thanks a lot once more

Hi,
The RUU option seems all that is left.
Backup everything before you start.
Are you supercid?

Yes, back in the day I used revolutionary, got supercid, and recently I updated the firmware to 3.33 (hboot 1.27.1100), and I am S-OFF.
my bootloader:
-Firmware 3.33 .
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
OpenADSP-V05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot
Might this be caused by the radio? it's the only thing I havent changed recently.
Also, being supercid, and S-OFF, do I have to lock the bootloader and S-ON? I quickly looked at the RUU thread and that is what I understood...
thanks man!

Hi,
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT GO TO HTCDEV if you are s-off.
The reason I asked is because you can flash any RUU being s-off and super cid.
Just choose a 3.33 European RUU to run.
EDIT:
Look HERE
Just use the guide to show you how to run it.

thanks man, I will run the RUU. I believe I have already done this in the past, but my memory is terrible xDD
3.2 Using RUU to restore partitions
Find your right RUU using 2 in this guide.
Flash your RUU as you normally would by double clicking the executable & following the instructions, you phone must be connected to PC via fastboot USB (in the bootloader).
If you get a Hboot Pre-update message, re-run the RUU once again with your phone connected in fastboot USB.
If the previous step fails, follow points listed under 4. Flashing RUU manually.
Reboot your device to bootloader, your bootloader should now say *Locked* or *Relocked*

From the tutorial on RUU in the link you provided, the last point on bootloader being locked or relocked... will I need to do revolutionary again or the other method to unlock it again? Will this be drawback flashing a new ROM?
thanks!

Hi,
Bootloader will not be affected because you are s-off.
You will not lose s=off either.
YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING else.
So,backup first.
You will end up with stock recovery,ROM and kernel.
You will need to re-install a custom recovery,before you install a new ROM.
See how it all works before you do anything.

well, the RUU went fine, but now I have a locked bootloader, and can't flash a recovery via fastboot. (still S-OFF).

Hi,
Look HERE
Post 2:
HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)
Should unlock your phone again.
Run the phone for a while.
Does it still reboot?

sweet, that did the trick
I flashed a dark splash screen and the cwm recovery. All went well and I could flash my 4.2.2 rom. I will restore my titanium backup apps and hope for the best. Cant tell now if the sudden turning off still happens because my phone has been plugged in all the time while I was doing this.
I will report probably tomorrow once the battery is bit used.
Sir, I must say, you are a legend. Thank you very very much for your help!!! your rock!:good: :laugh:
