[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] Nexus S stuck in Boot loop

Hi,
sorry for my post, but i'm devastated and can't find anything
I flashed my Nexus S, I9023, with the new ICS update from the Google servers
and now it is stuck in a constant boot loop
Going into fastboot and choosing recovery doesn't help
I can only see a lying Android with a red triangle and then nothing happens
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks

Hi, any luck with this issue?! I'm having exactly the same problem

You could try flashing the recovery through fastboot or even wipe the device and flash the ROM through fastboot.

Thanks... At the end I wasn't even able to get into Clockwork Mod Recovery. Found a guide on how to force my way into Clockwork Mod, and tried to load a ROM - without success...
I ended up leaving my phone on boot the whole night, and sure enough, it was working in the morning. Mind you, I've had it booting or more than half an hour before, and nothing happened.
So personally, I don't have an explanation why it works all of a sudden.
My suggestion is, leave it booting overnight and "hope for the best" - it worked for me.

[Q] Is my phone bricked now?

Is my HTC Desire S bricked? It is stucked at the white HTC boot screen.
In september I got the MIUI rom up and running, now when I am about to sell my phone, I decided to go back and restore it. So I changed the ROM and then it wouldn't update it just stucked at exclamation point-screen, so I searched forums and found that I had to flash it. So I did with this one: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
Which I got from a list in this forum, went fine and my phone booted allright, so I went in and tried to update it via settings, it installed and now it is stucked at this white HTC bootscreen.
Is it bricked, or what do I do now?
Thanks.

download RUU_Europe_2.10.401.8 and use it

Well that sounds ****ed
Unfortunately that doesn't work neither ... Any ideas?
Btw, thanks for the help

Well, I found out that I can go in to the fastboot mode, from revolutionary.
Isn't it called fastboot? Where you can choose factory reset, recovery etc.
Factory reset and recovery doesn't work though, when I try to recover I see a screen with a HTC Desire (not S) and a exclamation mark on it, what now?

[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

Soft/Hard Bricked N5 For No Reason

Hi,
this is my first topic and post so don't blame . On last Friday (05.31.2014) I was at school but it was free day so i was enjoying my 1 month old N5. I was using Elix-R rom with kernel included in this ROM. When I was sitting on Google Play my phone did soft reboot but bootanimation was ''scratching'' and bugging. I had decided to do a restore but i was done in 14 second so i knew something went wrong. When I tried to reboot my phone was stuck on google logo and it was rebooting to the same state over and over again (after about 10 seconds). When I came home i tried to flash stock rom's images but i got the same result. oh, and I forgot. When i was restoring, TWRP boot again but it was still restoring. I had some CM zips so i flashed them but it didnt help either. After flashing stock i had tried to access stock recovery but i got same result as before(Google logo). Some time ago I read about temporary booting recovery so i tried it but i didn't help. On Saturday I boot up phone again and i saw stock rom's bootanimation ''scratching'' and loading again as before after ''soft reboot'' on Friday. Now I've locked and re-unlocked bootloader again but i forgot about typing ''fastboot reboot'' in cmd. I've just clicked Power button on N5 and small android with loading bar appeared but after several seconds it stopped and booted again. I accessed the bootloader again and flashed stock images. Then locked/unlocked again and my phone is not booting and i cant access any recovery.
I really dont know what to do. I haven't modified my kernel or something. I haven't done anything bad - I was just surfing the internet and downloading apps from GP. I hope you'll understand all because I'm sure my English is not good enough. Thank you guys for help already

Well then you should be fine. If your bootloader is still unlocked flash a custom recovery via fast boot then flash a ROM/gapps/su.
