[Q]Htc Explorer Recovery Mode Not Working. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

THE STORY:
I was having some problems with my htc explorer software so i gave it to my brothers friend who knows this stuff. So a month passed and he kept
telling me he hadnt gotten to it due to his busy schedule and what not. So after one and a half month later he says that its a hardware problem
and hands me the mobile phone. Now i cant get in touch with this guy.
I went to the htc shop today to get things fixed , they said it is a third party software problem and you have to get this problem sorted from
the person who caused it * ( I know right such #$#$ers those htc guys). So i have to sort this out my self as i dont want to hand my
phone to those local phone repair guys ( I have had bad experience with them ).
THE PROBLEM:
The phone is in boot loop ( I open the phone and its stuck on htc logo ) . On top of that the recovery mode isnt opening as well , it is showing
a constant black screen when i open it. ( Here is a youtube video that i uploaded ).

I have searched through the web and the only thing that i have found is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725398
Which is apparently for WILDFIRE S
The thing is that i am a totaly noob at this android stuff so i am very hesitant at trying something that is for wildfire on my explorer.
I would really appreciate help on this.

hey bro i am a htc wildfire s owner.. n i can help you..
see first of all go to bootloader
for that you will have to do this
1) remove the battery
2) wait for 2 sec
3) re insert it
4) press n hold volume down button n then press n hold power button(dont leave the volume button while pressing power button) keep holding both of the buttons untill you see a white screen(you are in bootloader menu now)
now wait untill it checks for some files.. when done you will see options like fastboot, reboot, etc etc.. there would be a option "factory reset"
scroll to with with volume buttons(volume down button means to scroll down n volume up button means scroll up) n then go to factory reset .. press power button to select it.. see if this works.. if it doesnt then reply..

Thanks for your reply , i failed to mention that my phone was already rooted and was perfectly working before i started getting the software problems.
So isnt it a bad idea to factory reset a rooted phone?

ohhk.. when you would have a working recovery you would prefer doing a factory reset ie the wipe data right?? but you telling that recoverry isnt working... so now there are two ways to wipe data..
1) the way i mentioned above
2) adb commands (it may not work while in bootloop.. you need a working ROM to use this)

Can you tell me more about those adb commands?

for using adb commands you will need the sdk
the command that you can run from adb is
Code:
adb shell
recovery--wipe_data
n the command that you can run from fastboot menu ie the bootloader
Code:
fastboot erase system
the fastboot comand MAY work.. but factory reset is preferable option

Try installing recovery again via adb

Again i am a noob at this , i just follow tutorials to do this android stuff

As far as i can see, you are able to get to the bootloader, right?
just do a factory reset, if u havent, ROOT WONT GO AWAY..
also, confirm that fastboot is working, that is the final hope to get ur pico up again...

Did the factory reset , didnt resolve anything , same problem is persisting
When ever i connect usb it fastboot changes to fastboot usb . Further than that i do not know the process of confirming whether the fastboot is working or not.

If you've rooted it,why don't you flash that recovery.bat again as posted in the rooting tutorial
..
Then after going to recovery,you may flash CYANOGEN or jaggy ROM.

I have flashed it multiple times but to no avail

hey bro .. see first off all before flashing ny thing new what you want to do now is go to hboot mode n just factory reset n just see what rom is on your device.. first make it BOOT which ever OS(ie stock or custom rom) is in the cell now..
for that you need to clear data.. just USE FACTORY RESET..
if it doesnt work then i guess you will have to S-OFF your device (idk how with a software but you can do it with XTC-CLIP ) or do it from a mobile retailer..

Your aims:-
wipe everything... (learn ADB and fastboot commands)
get to recovery
format every partiton except sd and boot
mount partitions
flash a rom

Better try to install the recovery again

After googling the hell out of the web i still couldnt find any fix for the problem.
Fortunately today i found teamwin recovery v2.2.2.1 and miraculously it booted into recovery.
So in recovery i wiped the cache , the delvik-cache. And then installed jaggyrom . Rebooted.... the htc logo showed for about half a minute then blackscreen. So i tried tried getting back to recovery and again same problem...
I reinstalled the recovery and fortunately i was able to get into it.
I cleared the cache,data,delvic-cache,system and then installed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876466
Miui rom. But again when booting into the system the htc logo showed for half a minute and then black screen again.
What am i doing wrong?

Problem - always boots to fastboot menu

Hey guys I got another legend but have a problem when I turn it on it always goes to the fastboot menu - sometimes the keys work and I can get to the stock recovery but then I'm stuck. Anybody knows what might be the problem and if its fixable?

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
not to high jack this thread . but i had the same problem .
and now after a recovery ( finally ) the phone isnt working very well . the hard keys work then then suddenly they dont .
damn . i need a new phone
After 2 hours of phone being on....
My Thunderbolt booted to the recovery menu only. I tried recovery, it went throught the gyration and back to the recovery menu again. I tried all the other options too and still the same recovery menu.
There was some direct sunlight for a couple of hours but not really intense heat, and when I pulled the back off there was some condensation around the camera lens. I'm wondering if this would've caused it.
I had to get order a new phone (insured) because VZW couldn't do anything about it either. This issue was similar to mine, so I didn't start a new thread.
Any ideas?
If I do a compleat format of rom space ie system, data, cache, my phone will only boot to fast menu, perhaps your phone's rom space has been wiped, another possibility is bad sectors/bad blocks on the storage space have developed at the begining of the boot sector? please excuse my winblows terminology maybe that should be called mount points not boot sector.

You will have to be more specific than this...
Have you tried wiping Cache Partition and/or Dalvik Cache
When i boot the phone it never fully boots, when it finally gets to my lock screen the android system does not load. I can't do anything at all. I havent tried to root or anything. it just started and there was no reason why
the phone has finally booted to where my homepage would be but its a black screen that says android system on it and thats all. i can get to no apps or anything,
Im going too take a wild guess and say you either tried too install cwm without being rooted or u did not properly unlock your bootloadeR. Which is the case? Because this would not just happen did u read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423

You might have to use rsd lite to flash a stock rom. If you look thru the posts in the dev section you will find what your looking for. I believe the post is labeled but don't quote me, how to root after sbf flash. I know it's something like that.
Read up on using rsd lite it's very easy once you read about it.
Best of luck to you.
If I can be of any further help feel free to pm me and I'll do my very best.

Sounds like you should factory reset.
Turn off phone
Hold volume down and press power
Continue holding volume down until it says fastboot in upper left corner
Release volume down
Press volume down until you get android recovery in upper left corner
Press volume up
Find factory reset option ( not sure where since I don't have factory recovery anymore)

[Q] problem after flashing rom

Hi all,
Hope someone here can help me :-S
Ive got a HTC EVO3d gsm phone and thought it a good ideato flash Guerin with the latest leedroid software...
I really pundit but for one problem :-(
When I go to the menu screen which has all the icons on it which u can scroll through, the screen is not centred. It was when I initially flushed it but over time (a few days) all the icons which are on the left side seem to be half off the screen. Even the HTC calibration seems off..the calibration mark which u press is not on the edge of the screen but about 5mm off the side... Hope that makes sense....
Wipe all partitions except sd within your recovery and flash only the rom. See if the problem still exists.

Bering a noob at all this, could you please elaborate on that. When u say wipe all partitions except sd within recovery, do u mean for me to put my phone into recovery mode?? Sorry if I sound a tad dense here... Took me long enough to root and flash me phone ;-) also, by doing what u say, does that wipe my apps...reason I ask is coz I've got some notes in note pad app I don't want to loose :-(
Cheers
I wish I never done it now...
I've only just gone and bricked my evo 3d... cant get the bloody thing to 1 get past the white with green HTC logo screen, also when going into recovery mode and try to do a reboot or factory reset...actually any of the options all I get is a black screen with a tophat in the middle and nothing happens...
When I try a fastboot i get the PB99IMG.zip invalid image message...
So I replaced the latest image from my phone (which i also stored on my PC) with the one on my PC just incase for some reason the image became corrupt... but still nowt... Time to place foot to phone... unless anyone oot there knows what I can doo....

Hi,
I was just wondering: Have you rooted your device and have you installed twrp for your specific device? (I know, sounds like a dumb question, but you'll be suprised how many people install wrong versions). Because if you have rooted your device properly, and you installed twrp (one for your device), then you should be just fine. But I'm afraid that you haven't, and that therefore the screen is all fuzzy. And also, is the screen fuzzy in the twrp menu, or when you are on (e.g) the homescreen? If the second option doesn't apply, then you are not bricked. Please answer and give as much information as possible on what you did, then I might be able to help you. (btw, it's very unlikely that you are hard-bricked and that your device won't be able to be repaired)
(and a happy new year )

Yes i root my device before i installed twrp , when i boot my tablet twrp boots up the screens goes alll blurry / fuzzy with colors then it becomes normal recovery menue i installed twrp touch so i should be able to touch the setting but i can't i press the power button and a fuzze Unlock with ''Slide to unlock'' comes up but i can't slide to unlock it.. Oh yeah and it is upside down so i have to turn my tablet upside ..
I think[I know] i installed the wrong version of twrp which does not work for my device, Is there any way i could get rid of this recovery or factory reset?
What kind of tablet do you have? Does the bootloader support fastboot? If so you should be able to flash the proper recovery. If not does adb work when in recovery? You may be able to change it here. Also your OEM may have a download mode to flash firmware, this may be another option.

I think the easiest would be to just install the right version, the same way you installed this version. You are still able to connect your device to your pc, I guess, so you should be fine. To go back to your stock recovery, find the stock recovery for your device (you can probably find it somewhere here on the forums), and flash it.
Hope this works and good luck

Try to get to system recovery by holding volume down and power.
Then wipe cache, then wipe data/factory reset.

ive just completed my root with kingroot 4.8.5 version, so far so good 3 days n running.just go to kingroot.net press da green android button n good luck.you do no about usg debugging and allow unauthorised apps .cheers bb225?
Anyone figure out how to fix this thing yet? I ended up with a black screen except for restart menu, and safe mode text when booting into safe mode. As well as vibrations from keypress, hard/soft keys, and factory wipe is in the same state as the earlier poster, useless, but accessible.. I also was rooted with kingroot, used super-sume, and that after I updated su binaries followed with a reboot to what seems almost like a broken systemui.apk but I wouldn't know. ****ing lame though.

I just picked up one these phones a couple of days ago. I thought I had soft bricked it. It got stuck on the boost splash screen and recovered itself after about 10 minutes. The thing just seems like an LG copy with physical keys. I was able to bring it into the android L recovery. Power, home key, volume down. When it flashes Alcatel. Volume up and press the power button a few times. Similar to the HTC phones. My question is when I first activated it. There was blue android splash screen. Is that when the boost stuff flashed itself? Almost seems like it locked the boot loader then. Read a little more and seen to just do the OEM unlock. Makes sense and seemed to have worked. Anybody has advice on what to do next? I'm about to go ahead and try some things I have success in the past with different phones.

im interested in knowing if you got your bootloader unlocked i attempted and got "waiting on any device" i figured it was an issue with the abd fastboot drivers from what i read online,so i tried using universal drivers and despite getting the serial when i type adb devices i still got "waiting on any device" when i tried "fastboot get-oem-unlock.
I'm new on here so bare with me I'm not certain of etiquette and such. I received an email saying to make sure I'm posting about the right device. I think the elevate from Boost and Virgin are probably the same phones. I just switched on OEM unlock in developer options through settings. It asked me if was sure. I have not gotten to hookup to a PC yet but I assume you are talking about something that I would call a fastboot adb. I have downloaded a terminal emulator and when I punch in "su" it says. "[email protected]:/ #"
Whether I have that switch on or not. Is there a command you can punch in to tell you if it's unlocked without rebooting into boot loader?
Unlock elevate
Where I'm going with this is that it says it is rooted as a one touch pixi. There is much more stuff about the pixi than the elevate on the pixi forum. Post 1192 on page 120 of the pixi 3 forum states that the elevate has a different chipset than the pixi. I seen some earlier posts on this thread that are saying the same thing and that this device is a Qualcomm device.
Knox has been tripped/ flagged, think that you're done for...
