[Q] Clockwork Recovery Wont load?

Ok, I go into hboot and select recovery so I can flash the gingerbread rom I downloaded. It wont load into recovery. I tried to go through Rom Manager too, but it just goes to a black screen with no commands? Anyone have help for this? I have pulled battery and reloaded to hboot, tried rom manager and flashed clockwork from there.
Thanks for any help!

Read post #2400 for to fix your problem with black screen.

Thank you!
I will have to do this later. As I am exchanging my Inspire, since I scratched it getting the battery case off. My rep said no worries just bring it and he will give me a new one. So I unrooted it for tonight. And will re root tomorrow.

Mine does the same thing. I just use rom manager to flash, and when it goes to a black screen, just lay the phone down and wait. (may take up to 5 minutes or so) It will eventually restart with the new rom/kernel or whatever. At first i thought it wasn't doing anything, but i later found out it IS flashing, I just cant see it. Restarting/pulling battery during the black screen could result in a brick due to it actually working but you not seeing it, so be careful. Good Luck.

I would try much safer methods to fix your fade to black screen than running Eng S-Off. A bad install using Eng S-Off is the easiest way of bricking your phone, PLUS you just don't need Eng S-Off for anything.
Pulling the battery while in the black screen will niy brick your phone. CWM Recovery is actually running you just can see the screen. How do I know? Run a backup in Rom Manager. It will eventually reboot and you can check if the backup was successfully by doing selecting restore in Rom Manager which will show the backup you just performed.
You can pull the battery when you see the black screen but even easier is just press the power button.
If you want a safe method to correct the black screen just look at my post on the first page if this thread.

[Q] Totally messed up my phone after attempting to get root.

I just tried to use this method on my Inspire today and there was an error when flashing back to the stock AT&T ROM after gaining S-OFF and root. When I try to start up the phone normally, it gets stuck on the HTC screen. When I try to boot into recovery, it just shows a black screen while the LED is green.
Anybody know what I can do to fix my phone?

which root method did you use?

I used the one click root method.

Sorry your link doesn't seem to work.

If you press the down volume and hold power can you get to hboot?

Try using bubby's tool to fix the CWM black screen. Its under the fixes link.

I can't seem to access any sort of recovery or hboot. Holding down both volume buttons and turning the phone on will result in the black screen with green LED. Holding the down volume button and turning the phone on does nothing.

Sorry go to Bubbys super one step and search for CWM black screen....

If it helps, the phone vibrates 5 times then shows a black screen.

Well I was able to get into HBOOT but when I tried to go into recovery, the screen would just turn black.

You need to get the stock rooted PD98IMG.zip into the root of your sd card. Then go to hboot and let the phone find it. Follow on screen instructions. Note the progress bar will be vertical on upper right. I bet that fixes you up on getting the phone working. Black screen on cwm is a whole nother issue. One that I share. I think I'm going to revert to stock unrooted and then our attn1 hack kit.

There is a solution you can eng s-off, but I would not advise this there is no need to eng s-off your phone.
The simplest way though it may take longer is to, revert to stock and reroot and s-off with the hack kit.
This is a very common problem with the one click. To be honest there is a thread made just like this twice a day.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I managed to fix everything on my phone. I just flashed the rooted AT&T stock ROM with HBOOT and then used the one-click ENG S-OFF method to fix the black screen on CWM. Now running CM7 perfectly. I'm glad I no longer have to send it back to AT&T.

kinder gentler XDA i guess. Last year posts like these would have been flamed right off the board. Thats not a bad thing, but new people are wasting everyones F'ing time with these posts.
RTFM! w/e it is you decide to do , how about looking for help in the dam thread you downloaded the stuff from? I duno maybe we have a bunch of people brand new to Forums or something.

Ok I don't mean to thread jack, I just didn't want to start a new thread for this. I've been running the Coredroid Rom since I first rooted my phone. I have never had any problems with my phone even when trying out other roms. Today I tried installing the new Coredroid 5.0. It all went well as usual except this time on the last step of the setup wizard, it said something like "setup has stopped working unexpectedly and will notify HTC" and only let me press ok to force close.
After that happened all I couldn't even go to my home screen. I then tried restarting my phone but got stuck on the Coredroid rotating logo. Only way out of that was to pull the battery cover. Tried going into recovery mode but the screen would just be black and I would have the orange light flashing. That didn't work so I tried restarting again. Again just got stuck on the spinning logo.....This is where **** gets weird. I began to receive a call while on the logo and that allowed me to answer thus leaving the spinning logo. I still could not go to my home screen. I could only use the drop down notifications menu. I restarted my phone again so I could call myself while on the logo and again it got me unstuck from the logo. Only way to fix every thing was to use the search option and run Rom Manager and recover from my previous back up.
So I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I always fallow instructions and hardly ever have any problems but this was just odd. I felt like I had to solve riddles in order to get my phone working again.

See if you can boot to bootloader by means of ADB (adb reboot bootloader). If so reflash the stock rooted rom then reload CWM. You might need to Eng-S off if you have a corrupt file / bootloader? When done reflash CorDroid 5.0 (What I am running by the way)....

black htc screen
I tried to root my phone like an idiot because I dont know anything about this stuff and I got a black htc screen and i cant do anything. HELP!!

I see a lot of motivation in this and other threads to leave well-enough alone. Going to leave mine unrooted-stock.
I just had an excellent session of Google Nav where it performed exemplary. My phone does all I need and remains within the rules as the OEM wants it.

[Q] Sensation won't boot into HBOOT

Hi, noob question I guess...
I have looked everywhere for this answer throughout these forums and google and I'm really sorry if the answer is lurking somewhere here already.
I am in the middle of installing a custom ROM on my 2nd sensation 4g (w/ tmobile) and I'm stuck. There was a firmware issue and the phone was stuck in a boot loop after clearing caches and all that jazz so I had to superwipe and try a different firmware file. I've booted the phone into hboot about a bajillion times tonight but now it won't boot into hboot in order for me to install the new firmware. Hitting vol down+power. Just boots into regular HTC white screen, then continues bootloop again. Tried taking out the SD card, tried just letting it sit a while, I can't think of what else.
Nearly every other issue I've found about this has people suggesting to use a rom manager or quickboot to just start over at ruu files but I'm at the stage in the rom process where I can't boot normally or get into recovery to install zip files. And maybe I can use a rom manager at this point but I just don't know how?
Please help? :\

Double check if you unticked fastboot mode.

I have no way of checking that. I cannot boot past the white HTC logo on startup, so I can't get into the power settings.
I know for sure that it's not in fastboot because I've booted into hboot about 50 times previous to this tonight.

Pulling out and reinserting battery? then power on whill pushing volume down?

Yep, that's what I'm doing. Instead of flashing to the hboot screen like it normally does when I'm holding both buttons, the screen stays black until I release the buttons, then it starts loading up the HTC screen like it's trying to boot normally. Doesn't matter how long I hold the buttons for.

weird! sorry no other ideas

[Q] Inspire stuck on htc boot screen

I tried rooting my inspire with aahk but in the process the phone restarted and ended up getting stuck on the htc boot screen. I've tried to go into the hboot screen and do a factory reset and recovery but every time it goes into the same htc boot screen and just freezes on there. What could be the problem and what can i do to remedy this problem and get my phone operating properly again. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

What version of firmware did your phone come with, Froyo or Gingerbread? What exactly happened with AAHK? As in, how far did you get in AAHK? What does HBOOT say from the top to FASTBOOT?

You should have read the manual. It covers what to do in case of errors. Now that you did a factory reset you disabled USB debugging. List what your hboot screen says and also try entering recovery to see if that got flashed.

honestly i was dumb and didnt check to see what version of firmware i had. and when AAHK it downloaded the downgrade and applied the downgrade then it rebooted the phone after that it has just been getting stuck at the htc boot screen. And in HBOOT it says the following:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011,00:55:45

Based on the radio and boot version it looks like your on 2.47.502
You need to reflash the ruu and start all over. Look at the sticky I have in the general. Their I have a link to the ruus.
If that ruu doesn't work you could always try the 3.20 version.

This may be a stupid question but how do I get the computer to see my phone. I downloaded the new ruu but when is searched or prepares the phone it cant find it.

Boot your phone into hboot.
Pull battery.
Reinsert battery and hold volume down and power
Once in boot select fast boot.
Then plug in your phone should read fast boot USB. Then you run the ruu

Hello, I have a an HTC Inspire 4G and it won't turn on. And I can't get into HBOOT. I tried the AAHK method and now it seems to be perma-bricked. It's not even mine. It sometimes turns on, constantly vibrating. I have no idea what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hey, thanks for your fast reply!
i tried to flash the boot.img again and rebooted, but nothing.
then i made the factory reset, but still nothing
and btw. how does it look, when it works? i mean after new rom-install, i guess theres a loading screen while first bootup is processed?
or does it just keeps stay on that white display with htc logo?
edit: i just found out, that with exact version "version-main: 4.09.776.3", there is no ruu existing for the m4 .. crap, i have no backup

I reommend you to change recovery better usw TWRP 2.7.1.1 or latest Philz recovery.
If you want use Philz recovery...there is an option:
wipe all--install a new ROM ...use this Option...then reinstall ROM ..like you did before
Should work now...but some patience neefed takes some time on first boot

You get the plain white HTC screen with Powered by Android for a long while...at least couple of minutes (or it seems that way, anyway), so try to be patient on this one.
Then you get the HTC One screen with BeatsAudio at the bottom for a while. I think on this screen when it's about to take you into phone setup, you get Preparing SIM card toast.
Then you get setup.
I don't think there are ever any progress bars.

bingo! i installed twrp, did a wipe first, pushed the rom and installed zip - rebooted
waited 30 seconds and there it was finally ! thank you !!!!
it nearly instantly beeped and animated the logo into the beatsaudio-display, from that moment i knew it must work
i have a feeling, that the cwm not really works that good anymore.
also if i remember right, it was the reason for the initial fail-wipe, which caused all this.... :cyclops:
