THanks for the reply,

I'm all good.

Reflashed the custom image and all is well. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowstigmark:
I had this exact same problem. You can try the following steps. Leave the phone unplugged via USB as it may throw off the timing:

1. Hold volume down, then press and hold power for 5 seconds. This will get you to the HBOOT menu.

2. Wait 20 seconds so that the phone can complete the SD card check.

3. Press volume down once, then press the power button. This will select the Recovery option.

4. Volume down 5x. This should have you on the Nandroid option.

am I doing the above #4 on the white HTC screen? becausethat's what comes up after I select recovery option?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
Don't bother with those steps. Just re-root with the custom SLCD image with unrevoked.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marinelli.Tv:
Thank you !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sgt.EddieWinslow:
is there a fix to prevent this from happening?

i can randomly get into my recovery (it is the proper SLCD recovery image)

and i can install cyanogens rom.

however as soon, as i reboot or for example wipe my battery stats in the recovery, my phone just sticks at the HTC screen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marinelli.Tv:
Hi,

I fixed this problem when I reinstalled the Flash CloclworkMod Recovery in ROM Manager.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferg:
This is what happens to me as well. I dont know what Telus is but im on 3 (uk) with hboot 0.83 slcd.

this sticking at the htc screen has only started for me since i first wiped battery stats....although i was only running for 2 days previous it worked and rebooted fine before this wipe and now it is sporidic to say the least.

When i boot up with power+vol down, it checks my sd card and says something like cannot find img.

If i remove my sd card after it hangs and reboot, i can get past the htc screen everytime.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Perhaps the "wipe battery stats" option is broken on Telus Desires. What if it's looking to wipe some particular values in memory but it hits the wrong one?

my solution was to flash pb99img zip file and access recovery to reflash a new rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winstoncbull:
Any chance for you to explain that a bit better? Not sure what you mean there. :/

Flash the file...then go into recovery to reflash a rom? Is that what you did?

After flashing the pb99img file, can you boot into recovery every time without that white screen of death?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etix:
Update you're Radio. You wont have that problem again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferg:
my phone seems to be rebooting fine now every time, both into cyanogen rom and clockworkmod recovery.

Only thing i tried was to format my sd card when i next got into clockwork recovery. Maybe worth a try too if your still having this problem.

I think if you have apps on your sd card maybe that you should either move them back to the phone or delete them first. You can always get them again from the market after.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
I'm still getting random freezes at the HTC boot screen when trying to enter into recovery, either via power+voldown, or through rom manager. It works maybe 50% of the time.

Tried both recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img, and the new ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 from ROM Manager v2.0.2.5; same problem....anybody come up with a surefire fix?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsuushin:
I have the exact same situation as above. It's a 50/50 thing and it is pretty annoying, especially since removing the back cover feels so wrong because it sounds like you're breaking all the pins :mad:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
I totally agree...taking off the rear battery cover to power cycle my phone 50% of the time I boot into recovery is just painful...my poor desire's battery cover clips :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
Okay, this is becoming a real problem now. A few days ago, it would reboot into recovery maybe 50% of the time, the rest of the time getting stuck at the HTC logo screen.

Today, it cannot even boot into recovery anymore. Every attempt to freezes at the HTC boot logo. I even tried to unrevoked it again, but it got stuck at the HTC logo again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

It's currently running the latest clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750888 (and it did work occasionally before).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfpreach:
Run unrevoked again, that cleared up my issues originally.

Flash the 2.5.0.1 that I flashed originally (I believe thats the one I used, look back in the thread). The SLCD version of course. Mind you from time to time it gets stuck on the htc logo. No biggie, I just pop the battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaiser_tytnii:
guys, just press optical track ball, volume down and power to perform a reset, let go trackball and power and keep holding volume down to get back to the recovery menu...

or else our battery cover is gonna break soon:p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsuushin:
WOW that is like the best tip to know, ever.. why isn't this in the FAQ thread?

Anyways, thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
I tried (because that helped me before too), but now unrevoked just gets stuck because it doesn't reset at the htc screen :confused: it forever says "waiting 5 seconds because windows sucks"

whoa, battery cover saver; that's awesome! :D many thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
Tried it again just now, and it finally flashed back to 2.5.0.1 SLCD! After trying to reboot into recovery and failing 50 times...*whew*

Edit: still fails. Even after unrevoked says "Done", it's still sitting on the 2.5.0.7 clockworkmod and rebooting into recovery rarely works =(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horst0815:
got the exact same thing here, vol down and power doesn't work anymore, but it works for me to boot into recovery via rom manager. tried it 3-4 times, each time it worked. it's not completely satisfying, but it does the trick, until other issues are resolved
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machiz:
same problem here, please help...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
It still doesn't resolve the issue though. I finally managed to unrevoked back to 2.5.0.1 properly, and it's back to ~50% of the time...

Really annoying still, and I wish there was a recovered that consistently booted. Hopefully once AmonRA supports SLCD, it'll work well.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dash4g:
{POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, 50/50 Recovery}

I think the problem lies with the SD card, however persistence is key! if you stick with it and remove battery/reboot recovery/remove battery/reboot recovery and wait, you may just enter recovery on your own without doing anything special... I have also had more success removing the SIM card and booting into recovery.

Solution 1

- Requires a separate SD card (I use an older 2gb from my HTC Dream that works fine, oddly a 256mb one isn't recognized by the phone... I call it "TEMP") The idea is to remove your daily use SD card, and place whatever zip file onto your TEMP SD card, and use it to boot into recovery and flash your nightly/roms... and to reformat this TEMP SD card for good measure each time you use it, its a pain in the ass, but I am able to boot recovery 100% of the time with my Telus desire :-/

**NOTE: keep your back cover off in the whole process as to save your pins on your little covers**

Solution 2

*Will wipe your phone and loose root* Acquire pb99img.zip and place it on the root of your SD card, and boot into hboot to flash, you can then run unRevoked again to flash a new recovery and get root back

perhaps we could get a list going of other possible solutions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KINgGh0sT:
I am having this issue right now.... pb99img.zip flashed but then I recieved an error saying Model ID Incorrect!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
Even with AmonRA's SLCD R5, I'm still getting the freeze about half the time I flash into recovery...

I don't find it a good idea to flash an hboot just to avoid this problem, so I'm still looking for a safe solution...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latty:
(it's pretty scary when I'm flashing a radio and my desire freezes at the white htc screen atm)

Same thing happens to me... using 2.5.0.7. Nobody found a definitive solution ?

If I reinstall cwm trough rom manager it will work for the next few times.

I know they dont have any (save for 1) games on the market and that we have to go their site to purchase. However, when I do go on the site it says there's only 5 games for my phone. And I do not see any of the HD ones either : \

What is this -.-

i had the same problem with every browser( Dolphin HD, stock, steel, skyfire, etc) until i used opera mini. every other browser took me to the generic "dumb phone" wap site. Opera Mini took me to the appriate "HD games marketplace". I have asphalt hd, nova, and hero of sparta now. my two cents...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sublimeNaz:
I’ve tried using some of the gameloft titles on my samsung vibrant such as Nova, Hero of Sparta, and the gangstar game. They seemed to work at first but a few minutes in my phone started freaking out, the game would stop, my phone would go black and the only aspect of my phone that responded were the softkeys but they would do nothing beyond lighting up. I had to remove the battery to restart my phone and even on multiple restarts my phone would load really slow and then go black again. I found that I had a race against time to go into the application menu and uninstall the games before the phone would go black and lock up. After numerous tries I finally got all of the games uninstalled from my phone and after a final restart the phone started to act normally again. I contacted gameloft with the issues I was having, they sent me two links to download updated versions of the hero of sparta and gangstar game that they claimed shouldn’t cause problems. I redownloaded those specific titles, installed and, like before, they seemed to be working fine at first but they still eventually caused my phone to brick on me forcing me to, once again, have to quickly uninstall them as my phone was loading its usual software from a hard restart. My hope is that gameloft will work harder to fix the problems and maybe when my vibrant finally gets the 2.2 OS update it will be better suited to run these more high-end games.

After doing toast's parts 1 and 2 a couple times on my Evo #1, I should know this, but I can't find the answer now. When I get Evo #2 tomorrow, can I install a rooted 2.2 from 2.1 if I perform toast's part 1 only? I can live without nand backup if I can get rooted 2.2 for tethering and Titanium backup purposes, but I'd like to keep PRI 1.40 if I can avoid the engineering hboot from part 2 that loads the old PRI. I just wasn't sure if it was possible to install the rooted 2.2 update without already having the engineering hboot that doesn't care about signed updates.

I was on vacation for a week, in an area with terribly spotty coverage.

I kept Airplane Mode on for most of the time, occasionally taking it off in areas where I knew there was a signal

It was fine for a few days, but now the "3g" icon has disappeared from the notification bar altogether. Wi-fi still works though.

Should I just upgrade to CM6 RC2? (It is out, right?)

On a side note, do I really have to wipe all of my personal data before upgrading the rom? Or should I be using titanium backup, and wiping everything?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] [ L ]:
You dont need to wipe for the CMod RC2 update. You just install it, then "boom", you're done. I didnt wipe for CMod for any of the different versions, not even when I first installed it.
