I am getting the same thing. I was trying to flash the unofficial Recovery that darchstar recommends for the Darchdroid. It appeared to flash, but as noted in the post about, it hangs at the HTC symbol. I tried to reflash Aman Ra's 1.6.2, and again, it seemed to flash fine, but then hung, as well. The crazy thing is, when I don't try to go into recovery, the phone boots up fine.

How do I reset the recovery. I'm not getting any errors that I can see.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmanley69:
recovery and regular boot are completely different images on your phone. I don't know what a Darchdroid is, but if you have a Sprint Hero you need to flash the Amon Ra recovery for the Sprint Hero.

Every phone is going to have its own unique recovery image. If you try to flash an Eris recovery onto the Sprint Hero it will hang. If you flash a CDMA Hero recovery onto a GSM Hero, it will hang... (and by hang I mean you get the exact outcome you described above).

Make sure you're flashing the recovery that was built for your phone.

After corrupting my recovery during an upgrade, the only solution (of 4 possibles) that worked was the fresh kitchen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mikethechap:
Thank you very much for your reply. It makes sense to me what you're saying. Despite spending a lot of time here on the forums (daily), I was not aware that the ROM and the Recovery were separate images, so that's very helpful.

This post came out of trying to improve my ROM's performance, and update to a later recovery. The ROM came from Darch (author of all the darch roms) here on the cdma forums. It is a Hero Rom. Darchstar recommended this "Unofficial Amon_RA 1.7." As you point out, while the rom works very nicely, the recovery didn't (or maybe I blew the installation?).

I'm attempting now to re install the Amon Ra recovery (which I had on here until earlier today). The ROM itself works marvelously. It boots up fine.

But, the recovery won't boot - even though I tried to reflash the recovery that I had on my phone before today's experiment: recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.

I'll keep trying. And your thoughts and advice are appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mikethechap:
I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help to both of you!

Still not able to boot into recovery, tried kitchen too

I just wanted to see if there were any other thoughts or ideas on how to get into recovery mode. I followed the suggestions and tried to do flash_image of the known-good Amon Ra heroc-recovery 1.6.2 but still cannot get recovery. I also tried the suggestion to use Fresh Kitchen, but it said that there was a problem with recovery.

Like you pointed out, jmanley69, it still boots up into my rom okay. Should I try to reroot it?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mikethechap:
Fixed: Re-rooted

I re-rooted the phone using this link. I had to use an earlier recovery version. Then I was able to upgrade. Thanks for the help I received.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thither:
Just as a brief follow-up to my earlier post, I wound up semi-bricking my phone by not reading the directions carefully enough and zeroing out the boot image instead of the recovery image, while my phone was still unable to boot to recovery. Yikes! Fortunately I found that running Sprint's RUU for the 2.1 update was able to reflash the thing from (I guess) fastboot mode even though it didn't seem to be bootable, and now I'm running on the stock 2.1 release. My plan is to revisit this once I have more time to pay attention - currently I need to use the thing more as a phone than a cool mobile Linux platform. But thanks for the help, everyone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pop1234:
tried using better terminal and now it wont boot into recovery just sits the on htc screen how do i fix
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmanley69:
Tried what using better terminal?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pop1234:
yup tried it again now it works fine
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
Okay, I flash the recovery from the G2:hero thread not this thread. I searched for the 1.6.2 and I followed a direct link but I didn't realize it was to the other one. Did I just screw myself? I feel so stupid that I didn't realize that the md5sum was different and that there wasn't a "c" in the image.

I can't boot to the recovery. I have previously using 1.5.2, but decided to upgrade. I followed the instructions to the T on how to flash it if I have a recovery rom already (It's really not that hard of steps..). However now my phone hangs at the black "HTC" screen when booting recovery. The only way to get out of this is to pull the battery. I can't get back into recovery to reflash/flash another.

The fastboot method doesn't seem to work ether, can't use fastboot, but that is because I'm running a 2.1 rom right?

Anyone have any advice?

I have adb shell access when it's boot looping but I can't mount the sdcard, no matter what I tell mount it just spits back

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

I need to get this recovery back up because I was trying damagecontrol 2.09.01 and it's boot looping. So right now I don't have a phone...this is why you don't do multiple things at once!

Is there anyway I can enable sdcard during boot?

Also It seems the ext3 partition of my sdcard is accessible but now I can't get the card to mount with write permissions in ubuntu. Stupid ubuntu, I need to find my usb reader so I can do it in gentoo (easily). Can anyone tell me how to mount with write in ubuntu? I tried:

root@Ubuntu-64:~# mount -rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/phone
mount: block device /dev/mmcblk1p2 is write-protected but explicit `-w' flag given

but then my /mnt/phone folder is blank.. (I also tried p3 just incase it was the other partition but thats a no go either)/

Yet if I let ubuntu mount it normally I can see my apps and the folders..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmanley69:
Please don't cross post. Is this for the CDMA or GSM Hero?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
It's for the CDMA, I thought I deleted the other one, I apologize.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmanley69:
OK. You have to flash the recovery that's built for that phone... so you can't put the G2 recovery or GSM Hero recovery on your CDMA phone, or you'll get stuck at the HTC logo (like you are experiencing).

You haven't ruined your phone at all... You'll need to get ahold of the CDMA recovery and put it on your phone from the regular boot.

Click any of the download links from the first post... if you get a dead one then try the mirror (right to the right of the original link).

Then follow the instructions to load it as if you were booted into recovery, but do it from regular boot (and with su access - i.e. you have a # prompt).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Shelnutt2:
I was trying that, but because my phone was stuck in the bootloop I couldn't get it to mount the sd partition. However I got a hold of my friends blackberry popped my sdcard in and was able to transfer the recovery image to the ext3 partition I have. So all is well now.

The only computer I have with a memory card reader is my laptop running ubuntu but ubuntu wouldn't mount the memory card with write. Even if I forced it, I tried the gentoo way but it was a no go.

I guess also worst I could have RUU'd back to 1.5.2 but then I'd have to go find a windows machine..

Thanks for the help though!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
I can't seem to flash to this no matter what I try. I'm using RA 1.5 now but I wanna upgrade just for the sake of upgrading and I'm getting NOWHERE :-( I keep getting this message:

/sh: flash: not found
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmanley69:
I would say you're probably typing the command wrong... The command is flash_image not flash image (note there is an underscore in the correct command).. can you copy and paste your adb session?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BB15:
If all else fails, go to the market and download ROM Manager. Once it installs, open it up and click the "flash a new recovery program" (or whatever the exact verbiage is). Once it flashes over to the file for RA-1.6.2 you can uninstall ROM Manager and you should be good to go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bugmenever:
Is the reset battery stats useful for improving battery life?

Do you run that when the battery is getting low or when it is completely full?

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmanley69:
While I don't know the correct answer to this... I'll take a stab. If it works at all like laptop batteries, the battery "talks" to the bios of the laptop and "tells" it how much charge it can hold. The BIOS then tells Windows (or whatever your OS is) it's best guess on the remaining battery life. Many laptop manufacturers have a reset procedure that recalibrates those statistics - this involves fully charging the battery and then draining it at a predetermined pace until it is empty and then fully charging it again.

So, if the phone works in a similar way, then it's accumulated statistics on the battery charges and come up with when it thinks the battery will be dead... it then reports that information to the Android OS based on the current (no pun intended) voltage being drawn from the battery, length of time off the charger, amount of time on the last charge, etc. Over time, these statistics may cause your phone to report your battery life erroneously... and that's when you'd want to clear the statistics.

I would also assume you would clear the statistics if you add a longer lasting battery (or a new battery in general).

Hope this helps, and hope that I'm not incorrect.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SammyM00782:
Nah I've even tried that. It's been a pain in the ass ever since I got it. It's a replacement phone so I'm guessing it might be a refurb. All I know is everything we're doing here has been a chore on this thing. Luckily I've settled on fresh toast rom OC'd and it's been doing great. I'd just like the latest recovery. I'm gonna take that guy belows advice and try the ROM manager.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bairds1:
Just FYI, I had tons of trouble updating to the 1.6.2 RA until I did the following:

-Partition my sdcard to wipe it (I think I was having some weird issues...)

-Boot into recovery mode (home + pwr pressed down when turned off)

-use the cmd prompt to launch adb

For some reason it never worked until I removed one of the forward slashes, "/"...odd i know!

adb shell

cd /sdard

flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

reboot recovery

Again for the oddest reason, when I typed "cd /sdcard/" it would never find the file to flash, however, when I typed "cd /sdcard" it found it and worked perfect! I'm pretty much a noob to this, but didn't expect this...

Hope this may help as again I tried several of these steps over and over again, until I removed the "/".

Cheers!

Copy the recovery to your sdcard and change the name to something easy to type. I use amonra. you can do this with the phone running the Android OS.

In terminal or command type each line followed by enter

adb shell

cd /sdcard

flash_image recovery amonra.img

reboot recovery

You can not do fastboot method unless you have eng spl.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
last time i flashed the recovery i had to boot to my old recovery for adb to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] unCoRrUpTeD:
You should not have to. I have been working on a project and deleted my recovery several times. I have done it both ways: in recovery and while booted. I just make sure I cd sdcard if the phone is booted because it doesn't like

flash_image recovery /sdcard/amonra.img

It says it can't find it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
that was the problem i had! tried everything, care to share exactly what commands to use?

when i first flashed ra 1.7 i did it from the terminal on the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hero32:
i will tell you this is the correct way to do it from the terminal booted up thanks guys awesome work cd /sdcard

flash_image recovery /sdcard/amonra.img

Hello.

I tried flashing amon-ra as described in this post but have had no luck. I'm certain I'm rooted. When I try

fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

I get

downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)

- I tried using flashrec but that doesn't work either because it won't create a backup. I used multiple versions of flashrec and read somewhere that the vulnerability might be closed.

- I tried using ROM manager but that won't let me flash "alternate recoveries" since that option is grayed out and can't be selected. Ok, edit - I flashed ClockWork anyway and now I can select "Alternate Recovery", which is Amon RA 1.6.2. When I select that, it gives me the usual yada yada about rom manager not working if use amon RA. Still, rebooting into recovery gives me only ClockWork

I could use Clockwork but I kinda prefer amon-ra :) How do I get past this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] lightbike:
edit. Sorry
[Hero CDMA Android Development] :
either find on this forums the eng-spl and flash that, or use ROM Manager from the market to flash amonRA

Hi.

I developed a small program for my own use but... when I already created it so... Lets make it publik.

If anyone likes It, its free to download.

It's a small counter that counts when you tap the screen.

It remember where you are in your counting when you turn your phone off so you can continue your counting later.

Homepage and download is found here:

The page is in english (everything else on the site is in Swedish....),

Well.

I'm working on a new version after some feedback I got from users.

- Multiple counters

- New buttons thats makes it harder to reset by mistake

- Maybe some vibrating feedback on each count (if I 'm able to make it)

- Posibillity to step down....

- Some nice function that makes it easy to do special counting.... (Double up etc....)

I have a couple of 2.35 AR movies that were converted to 800 x 480 mp4 files with Touch HD Video Converter. When I play them in Coreplayer, they are in the proper aspect ratio with black bars on the top and bottom. However, they stutter so badly they are unwatchable. They play smoothly in WMP and HTC Album. However, in both players, the full screen image is cropped on the side and zoomed in to eliminate black bars. HTC Album has almost no configurations for video. WMP has a video settings tab, but nothing I did there fixed the issue.

Anyone else encounter this problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
It changed a little with the 6.5 ROM's so what I am going to say applies to them. If you are using the HTC album if you press the "fullscreen" icon (to the right of the stop control while playing) it should cycle through three settings. One of them seems to be "original size" so cycle through them and see if one of them fixes your problem (there are only three so you'll see if this fixes your issue almost right away).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mhurg:
I would like to add to solsearch's comment:

When you play a movie in HTC player, you can see the video size icon to the right on the control bar. Like he said, 3 settings. First should be fill screen, second is forced 800x480, and last is normal.

However, some converters crop your movie so you can't use option 2 and 3; they fill the screen and remove top and bottom. This isn't a problem for you I guess since they are normal in Coreplayer :o) So yeah, just use the size selector in HTC album player...

After trying out a few converters, I have ended up with Videora's TP2 converter. It's quick and it doesn't mess up the movie. And you can queue converting.

2. When getting an sms, the device wake-up....... (Tried the reg key but did not work)

3. Pressing anybutton makes to device go on..... I want to limit that to the on/off button (In settings there should be a option called device lock or button lock, HD2 doesn't have it....)

Thx.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblindd:
I just got an ideea, don.t know if it will work as i don.t have mine yet but try this: Try out Advanced System Configuration Tools, should work in wm 6.5 (as on my TP i used to have a 6.5 custom rom with this app abd worked) and you can find there ar SMS - wake up on new sms - select DISABLED / SOFT RESET, and see if it works (if the option to wake up on new sms is somehow activated from manila it won.t work, could be activated though by the lock screen - like s2u2 does, usually there is a reg entry for this but as you said it didn.t work)

Anyway when you have the time try it out with this app. My guess is that the lock screen causes this
