Im rooted and im trying to go to 2.2, i'm on 2.1 right now.
When i go into recovery mode my phone pauses at a white triangle with a orange exclamation point inside and a droid(green guy) person underneath.
what do i need to do to get into recovery mode.....
You need a custom recovery, I recommend AmonRA, you can use jcase's 1Click Eris root to install it. Or you can download it and install it using Terminal Emulator,I'm on my phone now, can't recall the steps, just search for how.
Thats odd that your rooted without a custom recovery. Perhaps it got deleted somehow.
Anyways, as stated above, the one-click root is your best bet. Download it from the market, run it, then do a full reboot, then boot into recovery and you should be good to go.
thanks
IT worked, updating to froyo right now!

Hey,
I'm trying to flash a ROM on my phone and I'm currently running "Flashback 2.1" or whatever it is. When I try to reboot into recovery using the Volume +, I get a picture of the Eris with a red triangle/exclamation point.
So, my lovely Eris users, does anyone know what this means and how I can fix it, before I call Verizon and demand a new phone?
Thanks!
That is normal behavior for a stock phone - it is the "stock" recovery boot.
When that image is on the screen, press Vol-up+End (once more), and you will see the stock recovery menu.
You said you installed the "FlashBack21" ROM - which returns your phone to stock, including the recovery boot. (As it states in bold red print in that ROM's thread).
What you are seeing is stock behavior.
Time for you to root again - if that's what you are trying to do.

PS: Here's what the different Eris Recovery "splash screens" have looked like over time

I've tried what you said and I can't get it into recovery. I got it once, but I can't seem to get it again... Help?? Please.

Well, I only suggested that so you would see that there is nothing wrong with your phone. The "stock" recovery is of almost no use to you at all - you want a custom recovery (Amon_RA)
You need to re-root your phone, let's say using Jcase's "One Click" app. After doing that there will be a usable recovery available to you, from which you can flash other ROMs. (Again, the "FlashBack21" ROM UNROOTS a phone - returns it to factory software).
Thank you! I apologize for the blond moment I'm not a noob, I swear.

Flashback 2.1 is not a rom, it's a zip that when you flash it, it unroots you and sends you back to stock. Reroot with the one click root apk and flash a rom. You'll be fine.
Hi,
I've had a HTC Hero since they came out, and for most of the time I've had it, it has been rooted and running various roms (Cyanogen, lately).
A few weeks ago I somehow got dust under the screen, sent it to HTC who repaired it and sent it back, with their own 'install' which has:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software Number: 3.32.405.2
Now, I'm not really a fan of sense and would like to go back to using Cyanogen mod, however, I can't work out how to root it (well, to get it to a stage where I can flash it with custom roms).
All of the tutorials and step-by-step guides on here and ones I've found on Google don't seem to work any more (I believe they do on earlier versions of HTC's build), I appear to have got as far as 'rooting' it but when turning on with power and home held down I get the red triangle/exclamation mark displayed. I'm clearly not doing something right.
I don't want all the answers spelled out for me, but if someone could give me a hint as to where to look or a clue as to what I could be doing wrong I'd be grateful.
Any help will be appreciated
have you tried the androot method
http://theunlockr.com/down/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FJA3L8YZ
make sure that unknown sources is checked
after you have download it and put it onto your phone download astro file manager and then find the androot apk and install then open it then press root
after doing that download to the android market and search rom manager and flash the recovery image that way
I had, yes - actually it was the first method I tried.
The first time I ran it, it said 'woot you're root' (or something similar) but on rebooting and holding home and power, I got the red triangle/exclamation mark symbol.
I have since reset my phone to factory settings so I reinstalled it now, again it appeared to root successfully, but on rebooting and holding home/power it just says on the white HTC logo screen and doesn't appear to progress.
Would the easiest solution to be to attempt to revert to a previous 'official' HTC build and then try Androot again? One of these maybe?
hmmm did you try the goldcard method? was the only method to gain root access on my Google G2 Touch (german HTC Hero by t-mobile)
due to most providers lock the possibility of rooting, this maybe could help you...
look for "Goldcard tool" @ google... sry don't know where i got my tutorial from the days i rooted but i remember it wasn't hard to find(although i was a complete rooting noob these days), so should be no problem to you
greets, Summoner
edit: was thinking... the exclamation mark looks like a missing custom recovery, maybe you need to flash one.. i'm using AmonRA 1.0.7.1 (build number correct? don't know) which can be found around here on the forum.
I was a Hero user some months before. I tried official 2.1 update just to root it again. I used this guide: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?3941-Rooting-my-new-HTC-Hero&highlight=root+hero
I used amon ra recovery then. I also ended up getting red triangle. This was solved when i formatted my sdcard and only put the recovery image.
I had the same symptoms, could only get amon ra installed via rom manager alternative install, it would then allow me to reboot to recovery once, but every other time I would get the red triangle.
I believe the problem was I had two recovery.img files, stupidly I had copied a recovering flash image onto the sdcard, then renamed it recovery.img, not realising its name was then recovery.img.img.
(its been 20 years since I've administered unix systems..and it shows).
perhaps check the recovery img you have, and where it is, and re-try the command line flash, it might not be a rooting issue, hth.
LM<FAO
sorry for laughing but this is a thing that happened to me when i was a beginer
REMEMBER THIS rooting doesnt mean u have a rec image remember use androot to give u super user then use rom manager to flash clockworksmod recovery image then reboot in recovery
jave PHUN
wishes the best for all your heros
Thank you all kindly for your assistance; after hours of trying, tears, tantrums and almost throwing my phone out of the window I'm up and running on Cyanogen Mod again
Thanks!
no problem remember to press the thanks button to who ever helped you
hmm I've done fallowing:
1. androot
2. rom manager - flash clockworksmod recovery image
3. reboot in recovery
4. backup
5. wiped cache/dalvik
6. installed Elelinux-7.0.0-RC2-Hero-v1.6 (2011-03-23)
and now the android logo keeps looping (more then 5 min)
/cry
So I started by rooting with Shabby's AIO root. Worked fine.
Today I unlocked, following QBKing's instructional video. No errors.
Then I flashed TWRP using fastboot. No errors.
I'm able to boot, everything seems to work (except 4g of course), but when I boot into recovery, all I get is an android with a yellow triangle. What gives? Can anyone help?
try reflashing the recovery happened to me once when i flashed cwm.
it keeps happening to me no matter how many times i try to flash either one. I'm definitely rooted and unlocked but recovery just wont stick at all, all i ever get is the yellow triangle. Ive given up on it....
I have in my notes to delete "install-recovery.sh" in system/etc and reflash. Couldn't hurt.

I think that the above post is correct, and also remember reading somewhere about it.
And I can do that from Root Explorer? I must admit I'm a little nervous - I'd better make a backup. You guys have done it too?

I would always do a backup in CWM or bootstrap before trying anything. I've never done this, but you could always try.
I don't currently have the ability to boot into CWM. I suppose I'll try to get into Bootstrap and make a nandroid, if that's possible - I haven't done any of this stuff since around this time last year on my Evo.
Use root explorer. another reason could be your not unlocked. Does your screen say unlocked when you boot?
Mine does say I'm unlocked, I've also deleted that .sh file after backing it up and still nothing. I don't want to go through the whole process of relocking my mopho to get it to work,, but I know that may help. I've done everything I could and read through every thread on it and still no go. I've definitely learned a lot though, lol. I've also figured out how to switch the internal memory sdcard with sdcard-ext to have your actual sdcard be internal. Good stuff, I love xda.
The current procedure seems to be:
moto-fastboot delete recovery
flash recovery
reboot
That gives it time to re-flash stock recovery during the reboot. What if you flashed the new recovery, yanked battery, went to recovery, then flashed CM7 (which apparently doesn't try to replace the stock recovery)?
I've got Bootstrap working. I'll be doing a Nandroid, then trying to rename install-recovery.sh later today. If that doesn't work - all I can do is go back to total stock, unroot, and restart the process. Life goes on.
Mine definitely says "Unlocked" at the top of the screen on boot - and I'm rooted (I can use Titanium Backup and Wifi Tether)
If it's an issue with the order of rooting and unlocking (I saw no error messages at any stage), can we get a warning placed in the pudding / MoPho FAQ thread please, spare someone else the trouble we're going through?
Seeing as I'm already unlocked and rooted via Penguin's AIO root- and backed up through Bootstrap, is there any harm in flashing the system.img used in QBKing77's video? Would that solve my problem and let a normal recovery stick?
Any idea if this would bork my phone? I don't have a backup - but I -do- want to be able to use CM and Miui (hate MotoBlur). If I'm already AIO rooted and QBking Unlocked, is there any harm to flashing system.img, then flashing recovery?
I am having the same issue on my photon. when i boot in to clockworks i see the android recovery, and when i try to select it the triangle pops up with the
android guy then i have to pull battery to restart phone still works thoe. Tom

This worked on my Xoom. Suspect same/similar will work on Photon. Issue is that recent OTA's add files that overwrite custom recovery with stock recovery if you let the device boot (don't let it boot - or if you do, delete those files, then reflash).
unlock
flash recovery
boot into recovery
root
then while still in CWM, no reboot, but instead:
adb remount
adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
reboot with CWM
Only had to flash CWM once.

I had the same issue then someone told me to root via Torpedo method. Did that and everything was smooth sailing from there.
Flash over Bootstrap?
With having bootsrap installed, could I use one of romracers CWM installers and flash over bootstrap? Has anyone tried this?
this is what i used. work great

moonzbabysh, would you direct me to the thread that shows how to switch the internal and external memory around. I've got a 16gb card but can't put apps on it. Thanks.
Hey All, hope this is the right area. I got my Prime and love it, but being an old
computer geek I wanted a better ROM. I let it update to .21 and regretted it of coarse.So I used the stock Asus unlocking tool, then Wolf's ultimate flash and downgrade(worked, took it back to .15) ViperBoy's newly updated PrimeTool 4.6 to root and installed TWRP 2.1. Everything seemed to be fine and I was ready for Android Open Kang
Project - Build 35. Yes it was awhile ago, AOKP looks great and I was drooling to get it in, but recovery didn't work. I have tried to flash different CWM's in, nothing seems to change my problem, I go into recovery and my Android guy is working for just few seconds, then keels over with the dreaded red exclamation mark sign, Dead. Yes my Asus still works with all it's bloatware and plods along but I really want to fix this and am just about desperate to try anything.
My computer has ADB access, and I have a novice's novice level of skills, can anyone,
anywhere help?

Just went through the rooting thing again. My device IS rooted, but NOTHING will get me in the recovery, now have also tried GooManager and ROM toolbox to attempt to install CWM over existing one(?) >sigh< Does anyone think using ADB to push another CWM would be for helpful then dangerous? Help?
long story short, i unrooted my DHD then attempted to reroot it using "Advanced Ace Hack Kit", it was going well untill it go to the 2nd reboot where it freezes at the htc logo.
i can get into the boot loader but when trying to go to recovery i get the excamation point.
any advice other than buy a new phone?
Did you fully explore the ace hack kit thread for others with the same issue? Sounds like a bad flash and bootloops. Im not recently familiar with htc recovery, but maybe that's the stock recovery and you need to access the menu, or maybe the recovery img is not there?
TRY REFLASHING FIRMWARE USING PC WITH TOOL LIKE
ADT android download tool.
DONT FORGET HITTING THANKS......
pretty sure its fecked, i put PD98img in the root of the SD card,it asks if i want to update, i say yes then it just loops at the htc logo screen.
