I didn't know you had a ROM loaded already!

Ok, so you're problem is the radio for sure, you need to get the phone booted up so Android is loaded, copy over the new radio file, then run Unrevoked again, once Unrevoked is done and recovery is loaded, load your new radio file, then make sure you do the full wipe before rebooting, this will hopefully fix the recovery loading issue and you'll get you're new radio loaded at the same time.

Then all will be good.....

Sorry, I thought you were trying to root/recovery and load your first ROM....
[Desire Android Development] wowstigmark:
No problem, sorry if I wasn't clear. I've actually even managed to change the ROM once from cyan to opendesire (using ROM manager).

Again, the main problem is that I have not seen the unrevoke recovery screen since the very first reboot. I only get the hboot screen with the 'recovery' option. When I click this recovery option, screen goes black, then back to the HTC load screen, where it gets stuck or IF i'm lucky I see android. is there an alternative way to load the radio without unrevoke recovery..or am I just going to have to reboot until i see that option. At this point, i'm hesitant to reboot once I have Andriod, as I've gotten txt messages so the phone seems to work...
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
That is why I'm telling you to run unrevoked again, it should fix the problem with your recovery loading issue, and if you haven't updated your radio you can do that too....

Run Unrevoked again and it should fix the getting into recovery from HBOOT problem....it won't hurt anything or wipe any of your settings, and try erasing user data from HBOOT as well (that will wipe your data), not sure if it will help but you never know......
[Desire Android Development] wowstigmark:
lol SO screwy. this one ends well :)

So ran unrevoked, this time it froze half way.. I was like wtf. unplugged usb (before i should) pulled out battery put in. Didn't touch buttons, phone started, hboot gave me recovery option. BAM see the unrevoked recovery for the first time since the very first reboot. Installed radio, seemed to install.. now I'm waiting at the HTC screen again.. waited 15 minutes, didn't load. pull battery, regular load.. android! turn off and do volume/power button to get hboot - alas it won't let me run recovery, just htc screen and freeze. Reboot.. d/l Rom Manager - which does let me get to clockwork recovery now!

seems good and I'm flashing new ROM because the one I have scares me (even though all this is probably my fault)

It always amazes me how many saints there are on xda and you sir are a saint! thanks for your help again
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
Well that's good then, and thank you!

I must admit I have had issues getting unrevoked to load from HBOOT as well a few times, maybe it has something to do with the SLCD, possibly the clockwork drivers need tweaking? Either way, you're good now!

I'm about to sit down now and try a new ROM or 2, I'll have to see how recovery works for me this time around.....lol
[Desire Android Development] TheLastOne:
One thing that I have noticed, if you're trying to load the clockwork recovery from HBOOT, if you press any buttons before HBOOT has tried to load files from the SDCard, instead of waiting for it to finish, and then pressing the volume down button to select recovery, it will sometimes freeze up while loading recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
You know what that might be it, I instinctively hit the volume rocker before it finishes loading, I'll have to test it to be sure.....

Good find, Thanks for the tip!!!
[Desire Android Development] vanlon:
So I have installed Sync and the SDK to get the drivers, wiped my phone and tried booting with revoked an number of times and it always ends with revoked at the "Waiting for bootloader; make sure driver is installed!" screen and my phone is at the HBOOT USB PLUG screen. And nothing happens. I for sure have the ADB driver as I went through installing it. I don't seem to have any reason for this to fail, any ideas?

Update, got it figured out, read another post and I needed to follow the instructions on an html file for a driver, did that and everything is good.
[Desire Android Development] Sirhcchris:
I've been having the same issues. I even tried a Linux live boot cd and still no luck. I've tried to install the Windows usb driver with the UNrevoked package but they must not be comparable with Vista 32. I've even tryed the sdk drivers. HTC sync... no go. The phone resets to hboot and windows asks for android 1.0 driver but no driver I have found will be loaded. I've even went to drivers And deleted the drivers from sync to do a fresh install. No luck. I've tried this on ubuntu, xp, Vista 32.

I can't get communication with the phone after hboot. Anyone have a similar issue?

Update: These drivers worked for me! http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/l...unrevoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip

Just flashed my radio and now working on the rom! If your having trouble like me, uninstall HTC sync and drivers. restart your computer. Boot your phone into Hboot> Power on while holding the down vol. plug it in and install the drivers above in windows for android 1.0. disconnect and reboot the phone in normal. install HTC Sync. remove the sync but leave htc driver installer. Reboot your computer. Open unrevoked and follow the O.P's directions. With the drivers working it takes no time at all.
[Desire Android Development] ShaneMacMillan:
Ok I did everything as listed and it worked perfectly. Well cept for the face I tried to use RC1 of Cyanogen which was not a good idea but I just restored with my nandroid backup and everything went well. Question now though... What files do I copy off the sd card to keep a local backup on my computer?

Also freaked me out when in the recovery mode I thought power was the select button, but it just turns the screen off. :)
[Desire Android Development] Malecite:
Damnit I completely forgot to mention that YOU NEED to install HTC sync, then uninstall it but leave the driver component or it will freeze during the clockwork process.
[Desire Android Development] brown.guy:
I followed the steps from this thread and it worked great. Thanks for the info.
[Desire Android Development] cinosa:
I CANNOT get into recovery, no matter what I try. I'm rooted, no problem, but neither ROM Manager nor trying to manually get into recovery, works. I've used unrevoked to root, and i'm trying to flash the clockwork recovery img, but it simply hangs at the HTC screen. Been like this now for over 30 mins. I tried to unrevoke again (even though I have root) because someone in this thread said it may take 2-3 tries for it to work to get the recovery img loaded properly. But it never works. I'm not sure what else I can do. Is there a way to factory reset this thing, so I can start from scratch? I'm thinking my recovery img is corrupt somehow,
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
I was able to install everything worked fine... until I reboot.

I'm not able to recovery 4 out of 5 times it won't reboot. It just stucks at the HTC logo. I tried to wipe/clear data from the recovery but same thing. Do the process again with revoked (which finish correctly with the done status), re-installed the radio, the last custom nightly rom (I have 08152010). I always need to take out the battery and put it back because I'm always stuck at the white screen with HTC logo.

Anyone is having the same problem ? What do I need to do ? Do i need to do a full wipe of everything (cache, data, sdcard, etc) ?

Thanks for your help

btw: When I'm booted, everything runs smoothly.
[Desire Android Development] Mavrik:
Hey guys..

Have a weird problem here. I have followed the guide.. Unrevoked displayed "done" but LCD remained black until I pulled battery. Phone has booted fine.

Phone is rooted with super user installed. However, even using the SLCD recovery file posted, I can't get the recovery to display. Phone just stays with black screen. I know its on as I can plug into USB and "adb devices" command returns the correct value.

Any idea what this could be? Any way to push recovery manually to make it display?

Please advise. Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] -Mr. X-:
Im still new at this, but are you sure your device is SLCD?

As far as i know only recent replacement handsets and telus are slcd.
[Desire Android Development] Mavrik:
Yeah, its a Telus phone.

Update: Got it working. For anyone having issues, I recommend going into HBOOT and select "clear storage". Run through only the first few steps of the setup and start from scratch. That's what helped in my case.

Got the recovery working from this post (first page) and now up and running on LeeDroid :)

Thank you.
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
[SOLVE] I used for the 10th time unrevoked but decided this time, that when I see the message done on unrevoked, to take my phone and wipe data, clear cache, then install again the radio and select reboot now and voila! A big thanks to Blowtoke who guided me in that even though he was helping someone else :P Thanks a lot Blowtoke!

PS: I rebooted 5 times and it's working every time now!
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
Why did you choose LeeDroid ? Is it faster ? Do you use the a2SD ?
[Desire Android Development] stoned99:
Now using LeeDroid. so nice! If you want the senseui, try it. I used the first post on this thread and installed the Leedroid version. Working really great
[Desire Android Development] *child:
These drivers worked for me as well! Thanks!

Im really new at Android flashing, just got my A8182 and followed all instructions successfully until after Flashing step "4", it does reboots but it hangs into the HTC logo screen with white background, stays there and i have to remove battery to start phone again...

please can anyone point me in the right direction from there, superuser is installed correct, i also tried with the radio/rom zip files suggested by slimdizzy and also the LeeDroid radio/rom files into the FAT32 MicroSd, but result is the same...

Please any help is much aprecciated!

Please any help is much aprecciated!

Steps for flashing:

1. Go here to grab a Cyanogen build http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/bravo/

(I used 08092010 as of this writing)

2. Once zip is download, copy it to your SD card

3. Get the updated radio needed from here http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/rad...5.09.00.20.zip

4. Reboot into recovery either using rom manager or by powering off you Desire and powering it back on while holding down Vol-. Rom manager will get you to the recovery console right off, other method will bring you to hboot screen. Select Recovery with the Volume rocker and then click the power button to launch it.

5. Select "install zip from SD card" using the trackpad and select the radio zip that you download earlier

6. Let it do its thing (could take up to 10 mins to finish), phone should reboot to recovery, use the back button to get to main menu and select "reboot system now" with the trackpad

7. Once rebooted check that the new radio is good by going to Settings>About phone>Software information (or whatever its called), if good lets continue, if not redo till it works

8. Reboot to recovery as before, select "wipe cache partition", "factory reset" to clear out any junk leftover and once done select "install zip from sd card"

9. Select the ROM we downloaded before with the trackpad and click it

10. Wait for it to do its thing, could take up to 20 mins to finish

11. Phone should reboot into your new rom
[Desire Android Development] Mikroft:
Mine was pretty flawless when I followed the instructions correctly. One thing to note. Do not plug in your phone when you run unrevoked.. Run unrevoked first and then select the img file. then plug in your phone. I did that the first time and got the stuck on HTC logo part. Redid it correctly and everything is is perfect.
[Desire Android Development] w1000i:
I want to use 2.1 >> so i have to upgrade the radio ??????? ..
[Desire Android Development] zoltrix:
I just tried to follow the steps in the first post and i got an error saying that the recovery 'failed to push'?

anyone get this error?

EDIT: Well since its a new phone, i didnt even get the chance to download HTC Sync and therefore the proper drivers. ill give that a shot
[Desire Android Development] zoltrix:
Alright, it was just a driver issue. But now when i try to boot into recovery, the phone stays stuck on the white HTC screen.

When i rooted, it booted into it fine. But now that i turne it off, and rebooted into recovery with rom manager, it gets stuck at the white htc screen. ( also tried doing it via the regular vol down+power recovery)
[Desire Android Development] Cynikill:
Couple of questions:

1) For the USB connection to the PC, should I set the Desire to Charge Only, Sync, Disk Drive, charge only, or internet sharing?

2) Once I plug the phone in, unrevoked starts it thing, and then stops at: "Waiting for bootloader, make sure driver is installed"

- The phone does a few things, and then a menu option comes up with Fast Boot, Recovery, Clear Storage, Simlock

- HBOOT USB Plug is also highlighted - I select that using the power button, it changes to "Fast-Boot USB", and unrevoked now says "waiting for HBOOT to be ready"

- the phone now has the options for Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, and power down.

Is there a specific order I should be running thesE?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Cyn
[Desire Android Development] zoltrix:
Make sure you do this: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

Maybe OP should add this to their first post? Not sure why it's left out

Now when you run unrevoked again, just leave the phone alone. do not touch anything until it says Done!
[Desire Android Development] superprelude:
Same situation.

I had to use rom manager to install new clockwork then boot into recovery from the rom manager.

I have to do that every time after a new rom, or else it will just stuck at "HTC" forever until I take out the battery.
[Desire Android Development] vertigo360:
I'm having an issue whereby 3G doesn't work on Rogers with my Desire running Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 RC2.

I've got the proper radio, and I then flashed to CM6 nightly 08182010, but it was buggy as hell. So, I got 6.0.0 RC2 and flashed it without wiping the nightly.

My Rogers APN is set up correctly, but it will not connect to 3G for some reason at all. Phonecalls and texts work fine though, so I don't think the radio is screwed up.

Any ideas? Should I just start from scratch, wipe the whole unit and install RC2 fresh?
[Desire Android Development] Davindy:
I know Rogers was experiencing 3G network outages randomly last night, it may be happening in your area, Alberta and BC were totally down......not sure if it's up yet or not. I had no 3G for about 2-3hours in Ottawa.....

This might be your problem?
[Desire Android Development] vertigo360:
It's still not working this morning. I wiped the whole device and I'm in the process of reinstalling CM6.0.0 RC2 right now. It's once again hanging at the white HTC boot screen and has been for almost 10 minutes. This phone is ridiculous.
[Desire Android Development] zoltrix:
but the first post says not to use rom manager? wtf!
[Desire Android Development] Marinelli.Tv:
I confirm that ... I have the same problem and I need to the same steps ... :confused:

I don't know why ....
[Desire Android Development] zoltrix:
So on page 2, some guy was having the same problem as it staying on the white htc screen when choosing Recovery. And he did a factory reset from the recovery menu (use adb to boot it up) and that fixed the problem.

But then he went to say that he reinstalled all teh google applications later. So what does the recovery menu factory reset do? does it delete the rom or something? is it different then doing factory reset from teh actual phone menu?
[Desire Android Development] PAULO76:
Don't know if it's me being thick, probably is but the evo screen just stays with 'pushing image'. Hangs there until I unplug phone and attempt to do it again. I've left it for 25 mins and still just says pushing image.

The phone just continues to charge and doesn't change.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

Paul.
[Desire Android Development] slimdizzy:
I left it out because as I stated in my original post I use Mac's and Linux. Windows users need to figure it for themselves unfortunately.

thanks for the tut though.

Also, my problem cleared up. rom manager works for rebooting now. Not sure why

[Desire Android Development] PAULO76:
Major props to you mate. I'm have an Orange branded UK Desire and I followed your steps to the letter, all be it with very sweaty palms and the whole flashing of the radio and rom took 5 mins.

Had a few small niggles with the root process but it all got sorted thanks to some more help from fellow xda members.

I'm now the proud owner of the 08202010 nightly build and all seems well.

I know other folks with Orange branded Desires are worried about doing all of this but don't be, it was veeeeery easy and no goldcard bollocks was needed.

Thanks once again fella, you are a scholar and a true gent. My glass is raised to you Sir!!

And it's the same regardless of whether or not you use the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img or the new clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 from Rom Manager. It's a 50/50 random chance of it crashing at the boot screen requiring a power cycle by taking out the battery.

i think because ROM manager detect our phone as AMOLED desire.. not SLCD desire.. thats why we have error recovery image stuck on HTC screen
[Desire Android Development] Latty:
That can't be the problem, because it still occurs randomly (approximately 50% of the time) even when the "recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img" recovery is installed and you use the Power + Vol Down method of booting into recovery...
[Desire Android Development] monyozt:
so how to install recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo-slcd.img without using unrevolked tools?
[Desire Android Development] ajanu:
I rooted on Sunday. Last night I got RomManager to download the newest clockwork and have booted into recovery sucessfully since. The one time it did not work was when I formatted my SD card and did not transfer the clockwork files back before rebooting. Copying them with an old phone(don't have a card reader) fixed that problem and now I'm running LeeDroid. I had to nandroid back my old rooted stock with Power/Vol - recovery, then from stock I used rom manager to boot to recovery to flash the rom. I then Power/Vol- back to get the radio before I had set up wireless or 3G. Worked perfect except I could not get clockwork to partition me an Ext3, said something about file already exists. This isn't really an issue right now.

Maybe you need to wipe things to get the recovery to boot better? I wiped everything to install the new ROM, and it seems to fix a lot of problems, like a restart on a windows box does.

Edit: I just tried this morning, and I could not boot into recovery with Power/Vol-. When I tried with ROMmanager, I got the android with a box thing I assume means changing settings. Strange.

You might want to post your question in the development forum just to be sure, but it should only be different radios, I would think the root portion of this tutorial would work for you, but definitely

DO NOT

flash any radio files from this tutorial to your phone.......

I don't think you'd be able to flash any of the custom ROMS either, but you should ask your question in the Dev forum, not here, you'll get more responses there.....
[Desire Android Development] nodiaque:
I'm having a hard time rooting on win 7 x64. I get to the clockworkmod recovery menu but unrevoked says "communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again".
