Hi guys, i am a newbie here.

Last night i was trying to root my desire using unrevoked. I followed the guide from XDA step by step and everything seemed fine until word "done" appear in unrevoked.

After that, desire supposed to enter recovery mode and clockworkdmod but there was nothing appear in the screen. My desire suddenly shut down.

Can you tell me what am i suppose to do then because i want to put custom rom in my desire and now there's nothing i can do because it can't enter recovery mode (it only able to enter bootloader or Android OS itself).

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronaldo_9:
when you are in boot loader, use the volume down key and goto recovery and git power button. you should then be taken to clockwork recovery. this is where you can select your rom from SD card and flash
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyosiro:
I've tried to do that and now it stuck in HTC Logo. Doest it mean i've to try unrevoked again or simply unroot it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronaldo_9:
try rebooting by taking battery off. i'm not an expert but you might have to do it manually using the guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696189

did you install the unrevoked drivers?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyosiro:
Okay i will try. Btw, in case i want to unroot, can you tell me where i can get "RUU_Bravo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.7_Radio_32.36.00.2 8U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126179" ? The link from XDA seems down and i can download any.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~David:
Me and another member have encountered the same issue, seems there's some bug in HBOOT or something.

Boot into Android, go to Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset. Once you confirm it, it will reboot your phone into Recovery.

BUT, unless you re-format (partition) your SD Card, you won't be able to get back in again (unless you do the Factory data reset again).

This seems to happen randomly. Right now I can get into Recovery just fine. But once the bug occurs, the only way to get it to stop is to format your SD card.

when you are in hboot the volume down/up button work?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndheureuse:
Hi all,

I also have the problem that I can no longer enter the recovery mode on my desire.

Basically, whenever I am in the bootloader menu (either by pressing vol-down+power, return+power, or via ROMManager) and then select "recovery" I get right back to the "fastboot" screen.

I tried uninstalling/installing/upgrading ROMManager and also tried flashing clockwork via the newest version of Unrevoked (downloaded yesterday).

Nothing helps :-(

What I didn't try, yet, is reformatting my SDCard or resetting my device via "Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset". (I don't want to install all my apps >again<; I'm also a bit afraid that I break something an then cannot even reflash using recovery).

Here is some more info about my device:

- Flashed rom: Leedroid 2.1a

- HBOOT 0.83.0001

- RADIO 5.10.05.23

I would be really greatful if anyone had a solution for this problem.

P.s.: in case I HAVE to reset/format: can I somehow make a backup of all my apps&settings?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basthet:
Hi all, I have the same problem now.

Everything works, after s-off, except I can no longer enter Recovery - any solution?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndheureuse:
I didn't find an easy solution. I had to do the following (some steps might be optional but I wanted to be sure):

- Formated SD card (ext3 and fat partition)

- Complete reset via RUU (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe)

- Using unrevoked to reinstall recovery rom

- Reinstalled my custom rom (Leedroid)

Now everything works.

BTW: via TitaniumBackup I could backup all my apps and data quite easily. Didn't expect it to work that well :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] basthet:
thanks- what about s-off - is it working now for you?

I Have a similar problem... I can't enter recovery. When i press "recovery mode", I just get a black screen with a phone and a "!" in it.

I have formatted sd.

Quite annoying, cause I need to wipe my battery stats, and I don't know any other way to do it, than going to recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olidroid:
I tried to update ROM to Cyanogenrom which was unsuccessful - just get boot loop.

I also get the same 'red triangle with exclamation mark on phone' icon when trying to go to recovery mode.

So now I have a Desire which boot loops and cant enter recovery mode ...

anyone know how to get out of this one?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
This might work for you:D

WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.

YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.

Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP

Extract the files.

Run the win-down.bat file.

Follow on screen instructions.

After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.

Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.

After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.

The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)

It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.

It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.

FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)

Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck:D

This should bring back your phone to stock. Root your phone again after it is done:D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ron777:
I have a new Galaxy S I9000, unlocked version, operating in the US on the AT&T network and although the phone works well, I've noticed two issues:

1. I cannot add new contacts to my sim card (receive a message that says "error saving to sim" or something like that) but have no problem saving to the phone it self.

2. After adding the Accuweather widget, although the weather is reported for the chosen city, the clock face that shows up on the screen does not have the correct time, whereas the phone does. Where does this clock derive its time settings from?

Thank you in advance.

i myself have that problem i cannot save my contacts to sim card. im only getting options to save to phone or google.

can anyone help ???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] element_X:
use apps such as Contact2Sim to copy contacts to sim card,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silverstorm:
I don't know what firmware version you're on, but I'm on 2.2.1.

You should open the 'Contacts' app in your Applications drawer (not the phone dialler) and then press Menu softkey, and choose More>Settings. There you can specify where you want to save new contacts to. I've got it set to 'Always Ask' so I can choose at the time, but you can select a default place if you wish.

If you want to save all/some of your existing phone contacts to your SIM, again open the 'Contacts' app, press menu softkey and choose 'Import/Export'>'Export to SIM card'

Remember this applies for 2.2.1, not sure if all this is the same on 2.1 Eclair or 2.2 Froyo.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lauranrenae:
It took me days and days researching this...lol. I found three possible issues...the first, and most common, is renaming your backups. Apparently that screws it all up, so don't rename them. Second, your battery is too low...it has to be at least 40%. I never renamed and I was fully charged - but still got the error, and when I tried to restore via adb I got an sd card error. In MY case, I had gotten a new 16gb sdcard and it wasn't formatted or partitioned properly...I had to copy everything off if it onto a folder on my PC, format it (FAT32) via PC, put it back into the Evo, reboot into Amon Ra recovery via Rom Manager, select "partition sd card" - let that work- then select SD:ext2 to ext3...wait till that was done, reboot. Then I mounted as disk drive to the PC, copied everything back to the sd card, and viola...it finally worked. I don't know why it did it, I had 2 of the exact sd cards...brand, class, etc. Hopefully that works for you!

So im not sure how I got into this situation but here it is. My Social Networking App shows no logins, and when opening says to go to setup but times out. If I go into my accounts it shows my facebook and twitter. I have tried to remove the twitter and facebook accounts but they say "error occured" and will not go any further.

Seems like Samsung really didn't learn anything from the Galaxy S file system fiasco.

The galaxy tab is only scoring 1064 in quadrant an i am sure it due to the file system used.

But i am still planning on getting one :D
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Someone will have to try running one of the Galaxy lag fixes on one of these then hitting the benchmarks again. I don't see why it wouldn't work since the Tab has the same components and much the same OS... Would be good to see that it can fly before release... I might write to a few sites and see if they'll do it.

Since my inquiry was ignored in the original post, I'm going to ask it here, HOW are these claims of a day and a half worth of battery life achieved with the fresh rom?

I just installed it last night with a clean wipe (including dalvik cache) and even erased the battery stats coming from Baked Snack with the kernel listed as "best battery" (which I can't get more than 12 hours out of with hardly any use).

I see claims of a day and a half so I want to achieve that as well, so help me out, here's what's going on with my evo

1. mobile data, 4g, wi-fi were all off. had no need for them for most of the day, only turned on 3g for about 20 minutes when I walked to the store.

2. GPS and bluetooth were off all day

3. listened to a couple of mp3s

4. about half an hour MAX of phone calls

5. about 50 text messages

6. played scrambled net for a while

7. haptic feedback is off, brightness is at around 30%, live wallpaper wasn't used, auto-sync is disabled on EVERYTHING, e-mail is set to once a day, google talk isn't set to auto start, using overclock widget to UNDERclock my CPU, using juice defender to turn off mobile data when my screen is off

I have screen shots posted, let me know where the problem is coming from!

here's my uptime and awake time

here's the real life battery life I'm getting and where it's going

For comparisons sake, here's when I used Baked Snack

^^^in all fairness, 8 of those hours were of me SLEEPING and the phone just sitting there.

You can tell I wasn't doing anything because the highest percentage of the battery usage was "Cell Standby" and "Phone Idle"

so can anyone help me get some better battery life?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSmith1:
There is definitely something eating your battery because this is bad beyond bad. I would flash a rom and not install anything at all. Set up your email accounts and use as normal but install nothing else and restore nothing else. See what battery life you get then. After that you can start installing apps back one by one and monitor how they effect your battery life.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
Use Spare Parts and check partial wake usage, android system should be on top. If you still cannot find the app that is draining you, then flash a custom kernel that supports underclocking/overclocking and use setCPU app to underclock when your screen is off. With moderate use I go from 8am until 11-12 at night with about 20% of battery left.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
are you on a stock battery? using fresh rom with kings kernel i can get a day and a half with much more usage then you have. i say reflash everything, radio, rom, kernel, and dont restore any apps at all. run it for a day without even installing any apps (except setcpu or overclock widget) and see what you can get out of it, maybe ur evo is malfunctioning?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudosmog:
and be careful wiping battery stats. Make sure the phone is at 100% charge (not just green light but actual 100%) and THEN wipe the stats. Then let the battery drain to 0 (to the point it shuts down on its own), and then charge back to 100%

That should get the battery back in line if you wipe the stats.

Let me know what your findings are if this helps. I'm in the same boat your in, installed FRESH 3.2 and I'm also not getting these battery improvements everyone is talking about. I'm still using the original battery from when I bought the phone which was on release day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
i wouldnt expect a day and a helf with use. While some are reporting getting it many others dont. "moderate" to "heavy" use varies by person. Many of these reporting extremly lng battry life that detail there usage to me is very light usage.

with that said you are getting pretty bad battery life. Instead of or before you go the route of taking a week to sintall your apps so you can check each one you may invest in system moniter. if you get the purchased version it has the ability to show you history of which apps are using the most battery power.

Also while some people may take offense to this i put a lot of the battery statistics into the sketchy at best catagory. It is similar to benchmarks with computer geeks. We will run benchmarks constantly trying to figure out what gives the highest score. and then we normally exagerate it a bit when we brag because we want to sound like we have the best rig.

now i am not saying everyone is but i would take most of the outragous battery stats with a grain of salt. if someon tells you they get 50 hours with moderate usage regularly. Their definition of moderate usage is probably what most consider as light usage. (ie moderate usage for 2-3 hours of the 50)
