I'm superoneclick stupid; I've never used it. Does it install CWM? If not, you'll need to install CWM. One of the ways is through Krylon360's post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1099374

Or installing a ROM/kernel that has CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ultimakillz:
ROM Manager does not work for the SGS4G. In order to get a working CWM Recovery Menu you will need to ODIN a custom kernel with CWM already installed. If you want to stay on froyo you will need drhonk's Bali v3.3 kernel, and if you want to update to gingerbread you can follow FB's GB Starter Pack guide. All of these can be found in the android development section.

I also suggest you read this (among other things) before proceeding:

Flash one of honks kernels via Odin.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfcland:
Alright well I was using mobile hotspot and had my phone in charging and the about a hr later my phone shut off. I was wtf so I truer turning my phone on and it wouldn't come on so I plug it back on the charger then tryed turning it on .

Well it booted to the white HTC splash screen then look like it was changing to the boot screen but the screen just stayed black and a light flashed Orange (have no clue what it means flashing Orange ). Well it took me like 10 trys of pulling battery and putting in charger and it finally booted all the way up .

Once it was booted it said it was charging so I though ok must be a fluke of my luck . So I went to serf something on my phone (mobile hotspot was turned off ). And like 15 mins in after getting it to boot it shutdown again and did the same thing .

So I was what the hell is going on , so I took the battery out waited 1 hr before plugging it back in tryed booting just by battery and nothing so I plug in the charger and it booted . And so its charging. I downloaded a battery monitor and checked it . It said the battery was good and charging(USB). It is at 20% after a hour of charging . But the monitor says 6hrs30mins till completely charged .

My question is did I kill my battery for good well damged it or was it just acting crazy cause it got a really low or hot . Also why is it taking so long to charge now and what does the flashing Orange light mean when it was off . Also shouldn't it say charging. (A/C)

Thanks I tryed searching for this no luck.

P.S sense I got this EVO 3 months ago can I get a replacement battey at Sprint for free ?

otherwise you can get batteries for like 3 bucks online

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunfromsako:
Flashing orange light when off and plugged in means its charging but there isn't enough power to boot up yet...in my opinion there is only 3 things it could be...Charging port which if u wanna try ur hand at soldering u might be able to fix it, your battery which is a possibility or your acctual charger itself. Sometimes when the charging ports/ cord start to go out it will say USB charging instead of ac charging I've seen it before. Hope I've helped.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfcland:

it ended up being a problem with the usb charge port, went s on, got replacement under factory defect...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
@pfcland, put your battery in the freezer for about 45 min then put it on the charger and let it carge up for a while before booting, make sure the light goes solid orange for atleast an hour.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplug619:
The flashing orange light means your battery is too dead to turn your phone on. Charge it up for awhile and it should turn on.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunfromsako:
If your charging Mah jumps back up to the proper amperage when it is "charging AC" then u know it is your port. When it displays USB Charging I believe it will only charge up to 500 Mah.

[Verizon Droid Charge] That Guy u Kno:
I don't understand what makes it so special.. i mean yeah, its awesome, but what makes it any different from any other folder.. why cant you just manually add a folder to the etc section and name it init.d with the same owner and permissions on a stock kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
To use it properly, you have to have a kernel that supports it. You can create it on an unsupported kernel, but nothing will happen. Even if you use Script Manager to run scripts from it, it still won't be like a true init.d, because init.d supports run ordering, and Script Manger doesn't.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rand4ll:
The kernel has to know it needs to look for it during the boot process.

ahhh I see.. that makes sense. thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] dc2000:
Okay,

so I have had the Motorola XT860 for about 2 months, maybe more. The other day the images on m.Facebook.com became broken, thought it was the site, so I ignored it. Than seen the same thing happen to a few other sites and realized it was a browser issue. No worries, so I downloaded a few other browsers; the dolphin HD one - same thing happened on it..So I tried Firefox/Opera/a few others and they weren't loading the same mobile version as the one for android pops up. Became frustrated than took out the battery to find out it didn't help.

So I became frustrated and start researching it(and found out NO one was having this same issue?!).. so after much debate I restarted (wiped) my device, loaded it from scratch to find out the same friggen issue is happening. My moto is stock, no rooting(yet); butt don't have a computer til Saturday. So how can I fix this issue now? How do I reload the browser? my phone is working fine.. just not the browser.

PS: so it seems like transparent images(PNG?) are not loading correctly.. it either shows the image with a black background or the image shows transparent while the background is greyed out. Its hard to explain but, I really need to fix this. If this can't be fixed I'll just swap it out for the galaxy nexus...cause this is beyond annoying..

I have a wiped phone with NO saved contacts, msgs, or apps! what's up with that???
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Is the broken image thing related to flash content? How is your youtube in-browser player working?

This sounds very similar to the problem I was having with my first XT860. I had some hard time with Motorola but finally they fixed it (I got replacement phone).

Here are pics from mine to compare:

image1: http://i39.tinypic.com/2vcj8ds.jpg

image2: http://i41.tinypic.com/iypxxw.jpg

first image is http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php - the flash 9 applet to perform speed test and second image is in-browser youtube player. See how controls are garbled, some content like banners/etc on the video is garbled too.

If yours does the same - go have it exchanged (mine took 3 times sending in before they actually recognized there is a problem)
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Try going to the market, menu>my apps and scroll down untilyou find the flash player. Select it and see if there is an update. I had an issue with videos in the browser looking kinda like that. For some reason it notify me there was an update. 11.0.1.153 is the current version

Sent from my rooted xt860
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Problem appeared right after hard reset with pre-installed Adobe flash. Updating it to 11 actually made the effect worse - instead random color scrambled dots and lines I was getting black boxes.

Motorola repair centre initially didn't see the problem as it was prominent only on flash content, but after I wrote a detailed explanation what the problem is, they sent me a new phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
How odd

[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
The problem is visible even with a decent browser like opera mobile or is limited to the stupid default browser ?
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Not to derail the thread, but the last time I used Opera it wouldn't even reflow the text when you zoomed in. Pretty craptastic, unless they've fixed it up.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
maybe opera 1 for win 3.11...:D
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Lol no, for android about 5 months ago.
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
For me the problem was with all browsers. Not sure about OP, he seems abandoned the thread.
[Motorola Droid 3] dc2000:
Nope still here, having a rough time. How do I do a *clean* install? I wiped the phone 3 times over and its still ****ty. This is a cross browser issue, dolphin HD and the stock android browser had the same issue, same goes for other browsers like opera, Firefox, etc but not AS visible..but still there. So how do I wipe this phone from scratch? The whole phone seems sluggish now and the keyboard all of a sudden is causing typos, or if I hit backspace it'll keep removing everything all of a sudden. I don't know what's happening or why, but for Motorola - if this isn't fixed I'm going to the 4.5" amoled plus Samsung galaxy s2.. this is just stupid and a waste of my time.

So what is the easiest and fastest way to do a real "fresh" install..I'm a noob when it comes to androids..BB is a different story..
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Since the xt860 has no sbf you can't really do a fresh install afaik. The keyboard thing is a common issue, it was fixed on D3's with the 5.6.890 update. I have the same problem with "m" "b" and the spacebar. I would say get a replacement

Sent from my rooted xt860
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Install from scratch is done with the full SBFs, that afaik are not available yet.

BTW an install with a service sbf followed by a wipe should be equivalent.
[Motorola Droid 3] dc2000:
That lingo doesn't help me... bf??
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
But when you know what to search google (or the search button) can help a lot...

BTW have you tried to do a full wipe (from the privacy menu ?)
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Since there is no SBF, you've got no much choice. Contact Motorola support or a Bell support if you are with them and have the phone serviced. They will likely give you a new phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Sbf stands for software backup file or something similar. Google is your friend :p

I'm by no means an expert but this is how I understand it

Sbf is basically a copy of the phones original firmware. Resets your phone to out of the box new. A factory reset doesn't actually wipe all the partitions, just the ones you as a end user are able to modify(unrooted of course). If there's a problem with a root level file factory reset won't fix it.

If I got any part of that wrong anyone feel free to correct me

Sent from my rooted xt860
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Which is why messing around as a root user without an sbf is risky

[Samsung Infuse 4G] two4motion:
So, out of nowhere, my Samsung Infuse 4G decided to power on unless I have a USB cable plugged in and I hold the volume down button simultaneously with the power button. Which then brings up the standard powered off charging screen. The I hold down the power button for about 5 seconds and it powers up.

Any suggestions? My phone was stock build when this started. I have since rooted it and installed some roms (currently running Infused v2.2.3) to see if that would help, but no luck.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
If it started before you modded your phone, it sounds like it could be hardware, that or you could try letting it charge down and back up, or a different battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Try GTG's Ultimate Unbrick and see if that fixes anything. If not, I'd be willing to bet that it's a hardware issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] two4motion:
Thanks, I did try GTG's Ultimate Unbrick and that hasn't fixed it either. I'm going to have to bring to AT&T tomorrow and see if this is covered under insurance. :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Just make sure its back to stock before you take it up there, and it definitely would be covered if it's hardware.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Dang. Sorry to hear that man :/ But yeah, it will definitely be covered if it's hardware related.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] two4motion:
Thanks guys. Yes, it was no problem, AT&T swapped it out for me. Only took about 5 minutes. They determined it was a hardware issue as well.

Did the AT&T rep happen to tell you what exactly was broken? I just bought a phone off of craigslist and it came with a bad battery, but when I replaced the battery it still had issues.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TbirdDave:
My phone did this also. Only turn on when USB was plugged in. I was getting know where, tried unbrick and still nothing. 2 days later I put my friends battery in my phone and it booted right up! Shut it down and swapped battery's back out and haven't had a problem since. Its been about 4 months now. Really weird problem and I don't know if anyone else has ran into this.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodchameleon:
Yesterday I unplugged my phone and it wouldn't start. Had to take out battery and SD card to get it to eventually start, but it hung on the HTC white screen.

I can access the clockwork recovery screen, and have even been able to load previous backups and new roms to see if anything will work, but it won't let me get past that white HTC screen.

I feel like I'm close because I can still access the recovery menu, but something's up. So I have a few questions that if anyone can answer I will appreciate more than you know.

1) Is there a way to unroot my phone from the recovery menu/PC access so I can get it replaced by Verizon if it is a hardware problem? I know, I know, I did it to myself, but if there's a way out, I'll take it.

2) What are RUU files and would they somehow fix this? I am not against unrooting and going back to stock, especially after this scare.

3) As of now I have DasBampf 1.8.6 and MR2 radio on the phone. Will the RUU remove these and flash a whole new Radio/ROM? Again, I know I'm an idiot, but I need help. Help me Obi Wan!

4) I'll check back if anyone needs more info. BTW, the phone only boots into recovery *power+down volume* Won't turn on manually. I've tried another SD card, I've tried other ROMS. I have NOT tried any new radios yet, as I'm scared to accidentally brick it.

Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what be up:
go into bootloader (when it's off hold power button and volume down until white screen pops up) wait for it to check your sd card, then click wipe data. it should boot up after its done wiping the data, if not you might have to select reboot in recovery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodchameleon:
RUU update.

I flashed the 2.11.605.5 build of the new RUU. It started out fine, and then it failed at user data, system, and one other. Now it's still in the same hanging screen. What the hell!?

Update for anyone interested.

I got onto IRC and contacted Jcase, who had me flash a new RUU, which seemed to fix the problem.

HOWEVER, my phone is still FUBAR, as it shuts off periodically and will not allow me to call out. I managed to go through the entire unroot process and got my phone back to original status. I have a replacement coming from Verizon soon and although I think it's a hardware problem with my phone, I don't think I'll be rooting again anytime before my warranty expires. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Hey guys, I was trying to unroot my thunderbolt but jacked things up. I had it wipe all date, now will not boot Its still rooted. When i go into the reboot mood its by Revolutionary. Info it displays where it gives me options of fastboot, recover, factory reset, simlock, hboot usb and image crc is

Idk if that helps. It doesnt reboot or does a looping process. Just stays at the white htc screen and doesnt say anything, and is not the screen where it says htc quietly brilliant. When i go into recovery 4ext recovery touch is whats available, current rom:unknown. Im fairly new so i would greatly appreciate any help, I like this phone alot and would hate to use something else. I dont care if after everything is said and done its still rooted or not. I have my personal info still on my card and a backup on my computer so im safe on that and dont care if i lose everything on the phone. Also i did not try to do the ota update.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Because you wiped all your data to ahead and wipe cache and dalvik cache and system. Then flash another rom.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maktar182:
If you dont me asking, is there a step process you can suggest or point me to? Idk how to flash the rom and am new to this scene.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
When flashing a rom. Wipe caches (cache and dalvik cache), wipe data (most of the time I recommend doing this), and system/boot partitions. Then after wiping all of those choose the option to flash a rom( I haven't used clockworkmod recovery in ages and I don't remember what they list that option as). When the installation is completed reboot and if all goes well you should be running a custom rom of your choosing. I would suggest you ditch cwm for 4ext recovery just as soon as you can. Cwm has some unusual bugs where the caches may not be properly wiped and your rom won't boot because of this.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] je2854:
I know back in the EVO days of no 4EXT Virus had a SuperWipe. It would wipe everything 3 times in CWM. If you are persistent to keep CWM you might want to try that... I think I have it somewhere I can make compatible for the Thunderbolt. But it is highly recommended to use 4EXT instead.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I had it at one point too but wiping 3x or 10x just to flash a rom is ridiculous.
