[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huddie:
I'm unable to flash my recovery partition. I want to do this to get ClockworkMod Recovery on so I can back up my phone then replace the ROM. I can't even get started as neither the 'simple' ROM Manager method or the fastboot method for flashing recovery work.

I've gone through the usual stuff of installing ADB / Fastboot / Android Developer SDK, checking my phone's rooted, etc., but no joy.

First of all when I try to get ROM Manager to flash the recovery partition, it says it's done it but when I select 'Boot to Recovery' it asks me if I'm sure and when I click ok it does nothing and stays in the app. If I restart to the recovery partition it's supposedly flashed for me by powering on to the bootloader screen and selecting 'recovery', I get the dreaded red triangle over phone pic and have to hard reset by removing the battery and putting it in again before powering on.

Secondly, if I use the fastboot command I get the following result:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools>fastboot flash recovery "c:\Users\huddie\Desktop\HTC Desire Upgrade\recovery.img"

sending 'recovery' (4216 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.608s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed) <==============

finished. total time: 0.609s

I've tried everything I can think of and find on xda-developers, androidforums.com and everywhere else.

What I would like is a reasonably easy way of doing this stuff. I know my data's safe (e-mails, contacts, etc) as it's synced, but I want a backup of my phone should a ROM upgrade fail and I need to go back to what I had. Please could someone help me with this as I'm a noob and I'm struggling!

Here are the details of my phone:

HTC Desire

I bought the phone ready rooted so I know nothing of what ROM the seller rooted it with.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Try moving the recovery.img to c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\

Make sure you run "cmd" with administrator privilages.

Then do

cd c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\

Next:

fastboot erase recovery

And

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

See what happens.

You could also try recovery from my signature, it's much better than CWM.

//missclicked "thanks" :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huddie:
Thanks k3lcior. It seems it won't let fastboot do any remote operations like erase or flash, but does allow fastboot reboot to restart the phone. "remote: not allowed" would suggest to me a permissions or privilege issue on the Desire. How do I enable remote fastbooting on the Desire ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huddie:
On the ROM Manager option, I've found that installing the Superuser app has allowed ROM Manager to get SU privileges and now it can do a boot to recovery. However, when I boot to recovery I still get the red triangle and have to reseat the battery. I tried flashing a recovery image again from ROM Manager and it thinks it's doing it, but still the recovery won't boot.

I know I don't have BusyBox installed but then haven't been told I need it. Do I ? If I do need it can someone please direct me to an ***easy noob's*** guide to installing it and what it's for ? Thanks!

Any help from you experts would be much appreciated!!

Download this, put it on your sdcard (root of the sdcard, not into any folders), rename it to "PB99IMG.zip" and boot into bootloader.

Apply update, and should be fine.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borat38:
Alternately, you could download Root Toolbox PRO from the Market (paid app), then download the .img file of the Recovery you want to use, put that in the root SD card directory, then rename it simply "Recovery.img"

That done, open Root Toolbox, click the Advanced button, click Erase Recovery first, then flash Recovery. You're good to go.

If you need Busybox, you could also install that from an app in the Market called "Busybox Installer." It's idiot-proof to use it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huddie:
Thanks k3lcior. I'm away from home but will try this when I get back. Much appreciated! In the meantime, can you tell me what it is ? Is it a recovery ROM or a permissions fix maybe ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
It's recovery from my signature.

HTC DESIRE Flash Recovery

Hello, i bought my HTC Desire used and already rooted, but i think was rooted by old method, with these values : Bravo PVT1 -SHIP S-ON HBOOT 0.80.000

the recovery was the HTC default recovery (Android system recovery <2e>), when i tryed to go into recovery mode apears phone with red triangle, after press VOL UP + power appears the options Reboot system now ; Aply sdcard:update.zip ; wipe data/Factory reset ; Wipe Cache partition.

Now i made my Desire S-OFF with Alpharev method without install custom recovery. So now i have S-OF and HBoot 0.93, but in recovery mode is still the same red triangle symbol, after VOL UP + power i have same options.

After i made S-OFF , when i digit my pin number and android appears is giving me many erros like: the process com.android.phone ended unexpectedly. try again, android.process.acore, com.htc.opensense.pluginmanager, com.android.mms, and some more.... after that phone is going to digit pin again.

Now i want to install new ROM, and make full data wipe.

Should i change my default Recovery ? install new Recovery? If so, how i can do it and which one? To install new rom i must download new rom and rename it to update.zip and use the option that i have in my default recovery ?? or i should use over method ??

I know is lot of information and lots of questions, but i don't know my next steps regarding recovery, install new rom etc

Hi, use Bortak guide from top of Q&A, everything there...
[Networking] pureds:
Ok I fear I have a very isolated problem since I have not found any other posts over multiple sites on the same issue.

I bought my VM optimus V 3 days ago and wanted to root it. I had used gingerbreak to root my optimus M just 1-2 weeks ago without problem. Well unfortunately I did not see that it basically doesnt work anymore (I did PLENTY of research but you guys have the only post), and installed and attempted a root.

It failed after a few restarts and tries, so I moved on, but soon I noticed 3G and GPS (I guess data as a whole) was not working.

Since then (2 days) I have rooted using <yuck> windows-superoneclick and flashed multiple ROMS including stock with success. BUT no matter what I do the data is still not working.

VM couldnt figure anything out, and has escalated the issue internally, and I could go down to BEST BUY and exchange it as broken, but I'd rather figure it out, and I hope its something stupid easy.

Can any serious developers, or even funny ones help me out here? Thanks in advance!
[Networking] pureds:
Update

Wow, no one up for a challenge?

Latest: Its been escalated again to like lvl3 VM support now, since 3G shows up and up and down arrows flash but it doesnt actually work. Also the virgin activate app completes but identified my phone as a Nexus S!!???

Any takers?
[Networking] vekinn:
Same thing happened to me I freaked out.

I saw this thread and used Gingerbreak to unroot my phone in hopes the problem would go away. It didn't seem to. Then I tried to turn on some sync things like gmail and google reader. Googled for a bit and the 3g came back on I received the email notice for signing up to xda and just thought I would let you know it wasn't permanent. If you backed up your original rom with the gingerbreak try flashing to it and unrooting. Then wait a while for the 3g to come back.
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Not sure whats going on here, i've got my phone s -off'd however when i'm in recovery it's got two smaller versions of it, like double vision, in pink (annoying)

Also when i do a data wipe, the phone reboots during it (very annoying)

The wifi switched off and wont come back on, always says error, will not get to see networks at all, will not switch completely on.

Can't for the life of me work out how to get a kernel on this badboy, got set cpu but no section for the sensation and none of the other alternatives work for me.

I'm running android rev at the moment.

Please help.

Go to dev forum and look at the Noon Guide for S-Off, it's been updated and has a newer proper working custom recovery. Also download the newer root zip too and keep flashijg it till it says complete.

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcovel:
Thanks, I thought I had checked that before. But for some reason I have two listings for my phone in my market settings, both the same. I renamed both of them and then tried each one. One works and the other doesnt. Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of one of them. Or maybe I will just leave well enough alone. :)
[HTC Sensation] beatalliance:
Hi,

I've been experiencing issues with my sensations screen not being very responsive i.e:

- taking 5 attempts to unlock the phone

- opening random apps I didnt press when scrolling through the menu

- pressing the wrong things

- not being able to write a message properly because your key presses are not registering.

- generally being very frustrating and making it hard to use the phone.

Now I know there is another thread which tells you to fully discharge your phone then leave it over night etc etc ... this worked for a few hours but didn't stick. The problem came back.

Well I have found a solution that has worked for me. So im hoping it works for all you guys. I've found out that its a GROUNDING issue. The phone case is not connecting well to the inner part.

Guide:

1. Turn off and dismatle the phone.

2. Remove battery.

3. See image below....

4. As the image sugests ... gently scratch the surface of these orange strips where the pins will touch. Use a coin, screwdriver or anything small and metal.

** SCRATCH GENTLY - IT DOESNT TAKE MUCH!!! GENTLY!!!

5. Do this for all the orange strips and the little silver one up the side of the case.

6. Once you have done this you can give the case a quick clean (I just rubbed all the dust and blew on it) gets rid of any dust etc.

7. Thats it. Put it all back together and fire it up.

** Optional - I eased the little pins ringed in red out with a small screwdriver - just to give them that extra push when connecting to the outer shell. Dont have to do this.

-----------------------------------

Now I know this is not ideal but it has worked for me. My phone is blistering now with no issues when zipping around the menus. Screen unlocks in one go.

I will be testing the phone throughout the day and reporting back my findings. But for the past 2 hours Its been perfect.

Hope this helps you guys out.

ciao.

**Note - My phone is S-OFF and i'm using Android Revolution ROM**
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I have no issues so can't offer any confirmation. Hope it works out. I've been "concerned" about those contacts since I saw the design. I wonder if that has anything to do with the wifi issues? Certainly easy and cheap enough to test.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Caspertje19:
these connectors are coated with gold or either silver, so they will not oxidate (not know if I'm using the correct word in egnglish).

Once scratched the surface, it will oxidate a lot easyer and faster, so the problem will only get worser in the end
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
That is exactly what I think
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
If it's gold and you scrape it off that could be true. Perhaps bending the contacts slightly for a bit more pressure could help. But then we'll see posts of people breaking them...
[HTC Sensation] beatalliance:
This as you said could be true. Although I have only marked a circle where the pins will make the best contact. The rest of the strip I have left covered in this gold layer. I've been using my phone allday and I can honestly say it has helped a lot! No screen issues whatsoever.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
The contact points are what matter. If those corrode the problem would just come back. It takes longer than a day for corrosion to appear. Bad contact at the points you've indicated would certainly cause problems. What you don't want to do is get short term gain and long term trouble.

Assuming the problem is dirty contacts this could be a better option than scraping:

http://www.ohmcheck.com/clean_connector.htm

If the issue is contact pressure then slight bending of the spring parts could help.
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
htc need to design a new cover
[HTC Sensation] ericbond:
i was having the same issues as you for the second week of owning the phone, first week was flawless. Through the third week however i noticed that the problems all disappeared of their own accord and returned to its out of the box state in terms of responsiveness.
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Try it tonight..
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
It's a good shout but a bit extreme. As someone said, it could get worse in the long run.

I'll take liberty to recommend to only scratch silver pin contact on back cover. It's alluminium anyway, so can be repeated if it gets oxidated.

DO NOT SCRATCH GOLDEN CONTACTS. They are for WiFi and network antennas and have no contact with body.
[HTC Sensation] sniperess:
Not to threadbash or flame or anything. But how does this help? I understand you said it is a grounding issue... but my phone seems to work fine *fingers crossed* and it works fine with or without the back cover on; so what does grounding have to do with anything?

There was juts one time that I missed a call, as it wouldn't slide into answer properly ... :(
[HTC Sensation] beatalliance:
Well i have been using the phone for over 24 hours now and the screen is still working perfectly and I have no issues with WIFI or mobile signal what so ever.

Looking at the case again, I would agree with only scratching the silver strip seeing as that's the only connecting part to the outer case.

Regarding the grounding, with my issue... My phone screen didn't function correctly without contact with the case. When I touched a certain part of the case it worked. Personally I wouldn't have designed the sensation case to work in this way, I'd have kept it similar to the DHD case but hey ho.

Hi,

since no one want to answer my question here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192804

I would like to approach this another way.

Is there any possible way to obtain 3g network from your provider? Rogers only works with 2.1.55 baseband as far as i know as i have flash the other baseband before and losing 3g network completely for example 2.1.62.

Is there a work around solution as i don't understand how these thing works and assuming Rogers will never update gingerbread consider, they are dictators of our phone.

I eagerly want to know as i am a huge 3g user and i am throwing out 3g usages under 2.3.3 as we speak.since 2.1 stock force close me every few min oppose to the current 2.3.3 which in favor of my broken/dying phone, i would like to stay on 2.3.3 as much as possible.

thanks

[Verizon Droid Charge] TheMuffStuff:
Nitsuj17, Reworked the whole twframework, pulldown is totally different, different icons, ect. I did some framework edits just so it wasnt a total copy of your framework. I didnt theme any apps, besides dialer and contacts, and just use icons for the rest of the apps. The only thing that is still 100% yours are the goodies for the deskclocks. Dialer tab got reworked I made some new pngs and got rid of the white and found new grey ones with a green pressed icon. Still using your background on the bottom, but reworked the icons on the left and right to match what they actually push you too, as for the contacts I took away the green android icons added black ones, and took away some green and made it more dark. It is still based from your fascinate one, but I changed mostly everything that made that fascinate version stand out. There may still be some traces of TSM .png's that I havent got to yet. Let me know if there is more things you want me to edit, Ill be glad to do it.
