Hi all i think i have bricked my aria, the power button doesnt work and my cm7 rom crashed and i dont know/cant get into recovery i can get into the stock recovery but to use it you need to use the power button to select options. any ideas? thanks
If you have CM7 installed you don't have stock recovery anymore, you have Clockwork Recovery instead. What version of Clockwork are you using? Newer versions use the trackball to select, you could try that.
Maybe you're confusing "stock recovery" with the bootloader screen. If that's the case, try installing the Android SDK w/ ADB on your computer and using the USB connection to run the command adb reboot recovery.

It must be since the stock recovery is erased with CWM in order to be able to flash the rom.
Have phone off and plug into wall USB. Should go into cwm, right?

It can't be stock recovery you got into. It must be CWM recovery you got into since the stock recovery is erased once CWM is flashed. This had to be done for you to install CM7. Have you experienced problems with your power button before your rom crashed? And how exactly did it crash?

Yes. So he has version 2.5.0.1.
Hi thx for all your help. Yes it is the bootloader sorry i was confused, the rom crashed a long time after power button broke and im unable to get into cwm do you normally hold down and power on?

I'm still a little confused at to your situation. Is your phone currently off or on? If your power button doesn't work, how did you access the bootloader?
Anyway yes, normally holding down and power on will take you to the bootloader, at which point you can select recovery. If your phone is currently off and the power button doesn't work, you have two options:
1. As andrew.cambridge suggested, plug the phone into the charger. That should bring up clockwork unless you have an off-mode charging version
2. Use ADB to send a recovery command from your computer

Don't edit your post to say something completely different when you realize you were wrong. At least use strikethrough and add the correction.
sorry what is strikethrough? what should i have done? i can get my phone on by plugging charger in then putting battery in but it goes into the bootloader i think but it has an option for recovery but i cant select it
What you need to do is turn off the phone completely (do a battery pull or whatever you do to turn it all the way off). When off, put the battery back in (if it is not in already). Then plug your phone into the wall charger while it is STILL OFF. This should prompt it to go into ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM).
I would redownload your whatever ROM you are planning to use and the correlating version of gapps (Google Apps) to your computer. Unplug your USB from the wall charger and plug it into your computer. In CWM, use the trackball to go to the mounts and storage option and press the trackball to select, then go down to the mount USB tab and click it. This will mount your SD card to your computer. You can then transfer the zip files of your newly downloaded ROM and Gapps to your phone. Once finished transferring, click the mount USB option again to unmount it from the computer. Then you need to click go back.
Now you need to do a full wipe. Click wipe data/factory reset then yes. Once done, click wipe cache partition, then yes. Once done, click on mounts and storage and you need to click format system, then yes. Once done, click format data, then yes. Once done, click format cache, then yes. Once done, click format sd-ext (if it exists), then yes.
Now you need to install your ROM and gapps. Click install zip from sdcard and navigate to your ROM zip file, click it, then yes. Once done, do the same for your gapps zip file.
Now you need to click the reboot system now button. It will take a little bit for it to boot, so give it plenty of time. This should get you back on your feet.

Thanks for your reply, No luck with that unfortunately when i do that nothing happens. If i plug the charger in then put the battery in the phone turns on but just goes to the cyanogen screen and stays there

That's the bootanimation. Have you tried letting it sit there for like 10 minutes?
Does it ever actually boot into CM7?
Ok. Try connecting your phone to your computer and use ADB to boot your phone into recovery.

When you say it gets stuck, do you mean that the arrow stops moving and it just stays there or the animation just keeps going and CM7 never actually loads out? Anyways, this happened to me before and all I had to do was a full wipe/reset and reflash the rom. Everything went well after that. Did you follow ALL the instructions given in post #11? This should have fixed the problem.
it stays on that screen forever if i let it, also all i get is cannot find device when i try and adb into it. What state does your phone need to be in to use adb?
Do you have the phone drivers installed on your computer?

Hi Guys am quite new at this however i've been doing some research on how to install [ROM]KaosFroyo V30 on my Eris but i have not found any instructions or guide and so i was wondering if anyone here could help? by the way i am running the android 2.1 version released by Verizon an HTC and hopefully this won't be a problem.
Google is your friend, also the Eris root app might make things easier.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
first question is are you rooted?
i think the phone's rooted now!
well i used the eris root app and when it asked me to i used the KaosFroyo V30 zip and it seemed to install ok, then i boot up the device and after an initial boot screen i get a screen saying android in blue and like a white light inside i don't know if that makes any sense but that's where the phone stays. i guess i am rooted now but then phone won't fully boot up

The first boot can take 10+ mins. Wait it out.
well the phone boots pass the skatebording androids and then it shows "ANDROID" with a while light scrolling through the letters and is been like that for about an hour now.

turn off, turn back on holding the end button and the vol UP, use the trackball scroll to backup/restore click the trackball, click nand backup, let it run hit vol down, scroll to wipe, wipe data and wipe dalvik, hit volume down hit flash zip click on the kaos v30 zip assuming that its on your sd card and let it run and then reboot shouldnt take much longer than 10 min to boot up

good luck and remember to always do a nand backup before flashing anything...saves more lives than seatbelts
The thing that you did different was wiping caches before flashing. That's why it works now.
BTW, NAND backups are important, but the one you made this time was worthless.
A NAND backup makes a copy of your system. Unfortunately your system wasn't functional when you created it.
Use this as a lesson. Always do a NAND before you change anything. That way you can restore to a working system.

Hi guys I was messing around on the HTC DROID ERIS and I may have damage my phone. I change the wrong NV items. 435,436,1192,1194 and now phone keeps turning on and off. it only gets to the skate boarding green dudes. I try adding a custom rom but i dont think i am rooted. I try doing the system wipe but as soon as it reboots to enter that mode it reboots and reboots again same system. I can only update with the PB00IMG.zip but does not changes anything. I can only keep it stable on the hboot usb which I dont know what else to do with that. anyone has any idea on how to correct this issue...
I've been wondering and searching how to boot into recovery on the thunderbolt? Not from rom manager but when the phone is off. When i had my original moto droid all i had to do was turn it off then turn it on while holding x and i was in recovery how do i do that on the thunderbolt?
And if someone would be so kind as to explain what hboot is thanx!!
hboot is htc's bootloader, mainly used for flashing radio's and flashing stock ruu's. From what i know if u boot in to hboot, power + volume down button, then click recovery, it will boot into the recovery.

Let's see if I get this right:
hboot is the default bootloader. Press at the same time, and hold, power and volume down to get into the bootloader.
From within the bootloader you can choose to enter recovery.

Is there are way to boot into the default recovery (is there are default recovery?)
Every time I attempt this, it defaults to hboot, looks for a radio zip, tells me there isn't one(because there's not one on the sdcard), and only gives me the option to reboot by pressing power. I briefly see the initial menu, with the options for recovery and such under hboot, but I cannot select them with the volume up or down buttons?

My mistake, there is. If that radio zip file is there, you cannot move up and down through the menu then? I got a botched ROM here, hangs on the boot animation, no ADB, and no way to read that sdcard outside the phone.
Edit - If I remove the sdcard, I can do a wipe cache&data factory reset, I think? But my ROM files are on the sdcard.
Can you still use cwr without a battery if its plugged in? I know I could on the OG Droid, so if this still works, you can just take the SD card out, go to hboot and select recovery, then put the SD card back in

I just attempted this, without the battery, I cannot even get a pulse from the TB. With the battery in and no sdcard, I can get into CWR from hboot. Second I remove the battery from the phone, it powers off. Doing this with it plugged into the wall AC too.
Edit - This is where I'm at right now. If I remove the sdcard, wipe cash&data, I can boot into a mostly broken ROM. Specifically, the keyboard FCs immediately, I can skip past the HTC setup screens, the virtual keyboard will generate another FC. At the end of the setup screens, it'll go to a blank background with no icons and the status bar on top, showing 3G signal strength, time, etc. There's nothing on the screen but that. If I push and hold power, it brings up the Power menu, to shutdown, restart, etc. Any option thoroughly locks the phone and requires a battery pull. After that, it'll get stuck in a boot loop at the boot animation until I get into CWR again and wipe cache/data. And I've left it go for a good 20 minutes, more than enough time to rebuild the dalvik.
I should add that this was slightly, as in totally, self inflicted. :/ I was switching ROMs, rolled back from the GB leak radio to the froyo radio, and was wiping cash&data to move to a froyo ROM; got interrupted by another task, and forget where I was at. Basically, I wiped cache&data without flashing a ROM afterward.
Edit - Had to wait until I got home from work. Install the card in a sled, delete the zip, everything's good now.
Im just stuck at the Thunderbolt wallpaper. I tried removing the sd card, battery and all that crap but still stuck. Any way I can work around this?

Boot into hboot and then into recovery to flash a backup you hopefully made and if not just re-flash your ROM. Happened to me once when I rushed through a new ROM flash and didnt verify the MD5. If you dont have a ROM or a backup saved on your card then you can try to do what the guy above you did and put your card into a reader and put one on there that way.

I applied the steelblue theme from here:

After applying in CWM, I rebooted, but I am stuck on the reboot screen.
What do I do now?
If it helps, I accidentally ran the theme on 2.3.4 when I'm pretty sure it was meant for the older version of android.
I only realized until later, and by then it was too late.

Actually I just did.
Just now, my atrix randomly booted into recovery mode(looks like this: http://atrix4ghacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/atrix-4g-clockworkmod-recovery-6-300x257.jpg) , so the first thing i did was make a backup. But is there any way to just boot into the normal unthemed state from here?
I tried to select rebooting, but it still booted into Steel Blue. So i took the battery out and turned it back on and did some random stuff until it booted back into CWM. Can I somehow unflash the Steel Blue theme and boot back to the normal state? I know, its probably a stupid question. But I'm pretty new, so I dont really know what I'm doing. :|
Hello. This is my first time to post in XDA and unfortunately, I seem to have bricked (or soft-bricked) my phone.
I tried to unroot my phone, however, I got stuck in an infinite bootloop between the Samsung Startup, and the following message: Android upgrading screen saying Manual mode, Applying Multi-CSC, Applied the CSC code: BTU. Successfully applied Multi-CSC.
In an attempt to solve, I flashed the stock firmware in download mode through Odin. I got a success message, however, I cannot get past the Samsung Logo.
I would really appreciate if anyone can guide me through on how I can restore my phone. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that you can't enter into recovery mode bypressing the buttons? You was with usb debugging on? You can try to use adb "adb reboot recovery" to enter in recovery mode.

CF Root 6.4 Injects CWM via ODIN.
Your problem seems to be settings related tho, usually you get that fixed cleaning cache and dalvik, as stated before. Try to get into recovery mode to check that, and if that dont work I would try reflashing all over step by step.-

I'm sure the OP should be able to enter Download Mode and flash another ROM via ODIN. Try that if you can't access recovery.
Im 100% he's not doing it the right way.
If you can get in downloadmode to use Odin, you can also get in the Recovery menu.
Hold volume up , home, and power untill it reboots.
Keep holding it untill you see the white text, release power, but keep holding volume up and home.
Its not so difficult.

same with the guys above but i had 4.0.4 and when i flashed stock i am stuck with the samsung logo. my s2 was fixed with the new stock rom as it seem it didnt support old stock after flashing new roms. may be is should try jb instead. all i did was used samsung tool should have done one by one myself. instead of using tool.

I know you will be loosing everything, well unless you have a backup. I would suggest NVflash back to stock with CWM recovery. Then reload the ROM of choice to see or even just boot it into TapUI so see if the problem is Hardware related or UI related. It is tough to say.
i think its hardware, i gave it a nice hard wack and it seems ok...
the thing is i started to save/backup and go back to tap tap. thinking ill use my warrantee,
now it is stuck in a boot mode, turns on, starts to run but only getting to the tap embelm. it does this over and over maybe 6 second intervals..
any ideas??
i cannot get to cwm, and reload gtab or do anything. am i screwed??

Try NVflashing with the stock 1.1 BL with recovery ver.8 preinstalled, after done power device off by holding down power button. The just boot straight to recovery and do a data wipe factory reset then reboot system. The reason for the boot loop is there is still something on the name that the tnt software doesn't like. After you get it booted up then advice just NVflash 1.1 stock with stock recovery and it should boot right up afterwards. The reason for the 2nd nvflash is to remove any tracef the customs recovery.

Sounds like that you are using the NVflash with Stock recovery. When you hold down volume + and press the power button it is booting into stock recovery hence the triangle symbol. You need to get a fresh NVflash setup that includes CWM recovery and use it.
