Root Endless battles...Unrevoked

[drukkie]

if i select recovery in hboot it just hangs on the whitescreen with htc logo on it

PS
when i boot into hboot it searches for some files....looks like it finds four...
bbelow each file it says
loading file........
No Image!
loading file........
No Image!
loading file........
No Image!
loading file........
No Image!

it just flashes very quickly...

 

[EddyOS]

Its just searching to see if those files are on your SD card, don't need to worry about them

 

[drukkie]

think my hboot or boot loader is screwed?

 

[EddyOS]

Nope, it's completely normal. Your recovery is screwed

 

[Rastaman-FB]

your hboot is not damaged, s-off damaged recovery and you dont have the right drivers for it to access the device via fastboot


to use that tool you wait for those loading images to go and select fastboot
when in fastboot and connected to the pc; go to start>right click my computer>click manage> device manager. does it have any exclamation marks for drivers not installed?

if your hboot was damaged you would not be booting

 

[drukkie]

unfixable?

 

[Rastaman-FB]

unfixable?

completely fixable
you just havent installed your fastboot drivers

 

[drukkie]

is the adb interface in device manager the same or do i need to install additional drivers?

 

[drukkie]

is fastboot compatbile with windows 7?

 

[EddyOS]

Yes it is, you need to download the Android SDK

 

[drukkie]

i've got the sdk...that is where i got fastboot....might be something screwed with my windows...
just installing it on my wifes pc quickly...

 

[EddyOS]

Wow, this could take a while...

Have you read up on fastboot/adb commands at all? Might be worth while as they're handy to know. You need to make sure you have the drivers installed first before using fastboot commands

 

[drukkie]

YAY!!!! success....ok i flashed with the recovery....
what now LOL...

I've been struggling for two months....seems all it needed was a "fresh pc"
the fastboot on my pc does nothing....just hangs....

thanks for the help guys but how do i test it? try a manual recovery in hboot?

fllasher says sucessfull but my phone still ooks the same...
sorry if i sound like a noob

 

[drukkie]

ok don't know if this is good news or bad news....when i flashed the recovery with flasher i could see a green bar in hboot...so it looked successfull...
but nothing changed on my phone after the reboot.
booted back into hboot...selected recovery and the same thing....hangs on the splash screen?

hmmm, i maybe wrong but could you try booting to recovery from hboot without your sdcard inserted please

 

[drukkie]

Nope sorry rastaman...still the same....
what does the recovery image do? wipe everything?

thanks!

 

[Rastaman-FB]

no it allows you to flash roms, wipe roms etc
you might need to RUU and start again as InfernalByte stated

ive not seen it in this state before, its wierd

 

[SUroot]

Yeah I was thinking that too. Not sure if re-s-off would cause more damage.

 

[drukkie]

thanks guys...on recommendation of the easiest guide to follow to RUU my phone?

 

[SUroot]

Have you got a gold card? What rom were you on originally? Was it branded?

 

[drukkie]

standard stock rom....

my config as follows
hboot 0.93.0001
S-OFF
Aug10 2010

Android 2.2
32.49.00.32U_5.11.5.27
kernel
2.29.405.5 cl293415

got a valid gold card.

 

[SUroot]

Cool

1) Download this stock ruu

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

2) Enable USB debugging - Settings > Applications > Development

3) Connect in Disk drive mode

4) Run RUU

I only suggested it as its what I did in a simular situation and I'd reached the end of my knowledge on the matter. I'd hate to think that I sounded as if I knew what I was doin.

 

[SUroot]

Rasta and I agreed though
