Hey all got a question if any could help out. I have a S-Off test phone from HTC and I can't get the phone screen to respond to any touches in recovery. I have installed CWM recovery and can use the recovery. When I say use the recovery I mean everything seems to work, I can backup, restore, move around the program with the volume keys. But when I try to install a rom what uses aroma, the phone starts the install, but the phone has no respond to my touch. I have also tried TWRP recovery and I can't do anything with TWRP. It installs fine (MD5 checked), starts up fine, but I have no respond with the screen when I touch it. Like I said I'm S-Off and have SU with Busy Box installed. I did downloaded root checker and a few other app that require root permission with no problems. I just have no touch screen response in recovery.
So looks like no one can help.... 184 people have read my post but no one can help?
Well this shouldn't be happening, no one has same issue, you can always ruu and return device to htc

did you flash recovery with adb(sdk-platform tools)
Try reflashing a new recovery.img ( look in development section) or s-onn your device> re-lock it> and flash ruu..... then re-hack it
What Hboot and software are you on?

jtdogblue had this same issue with his factory s-off phone. He was able to resolve it by reflashing recovery a few times.

I flashed CM7 last night, loaded GAPPS, and the market was updating my apps, when I noticed none of the apps were updating. updates were all failing. I went into recovery and restored BAMF 1.5 remix. Now I have a problem. I can not download or update anything from the Market, all attempts fail. I cannot access CW recovery, the HTC white screen is as far as I get. I deleted rom manager, and tried to access CW recovery and still failed. I tried to do a factory reset, and still only get white HTC screen. Tbolt is functioning, I just can't fix my issue. Please help. Thanks.
You can't get in CW recovery or stock recovery?

Did you try reflashing CW through ROM Manager?
Yep. very strange. I even tried to wipe the phone with factory reset, and just get stuck on white HTC screen. I had deleted rom manager because of something else I read, and can't get it back, But I can't even get to recovery from bootloader.
You can get to recovery through the bootloader by shutting off the phone and turning it back on holding down the volume button and pressing power toggle down to the recovery option and press the power button

Actually I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to help Orio out and we attempted a quite a few things to try and fix the recovery issue, this post should offer a bit more insight to the methods used;
adb reboot recovery failed
Reinstall latest Rom Manager apk and Flash CWM
flash latest rom manager via fastboot (CWM only)
(fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.5.img)
**did not do fastboot erase recovery first**
"return to stock safely and properly" XDAthread by jcase
return to stock image [RUU], reroot, try again
try to boot into recovery via hboot
manually installed fix_permissions.sh script and busybox on rooted stock, ran.. didnt fix
tried to see if flash_image method would work, didn't
All of the above have failed and we basically tried almost all combinations. Never once would this phone get back into recovery, even after flashing the appropriate RUUs which include either stock android or CWM recovery. The only thing we have not currently attempted which might be the last thing left is to do is manually install the nandroid.sh script and do an advanced restore of the recovery image only from a nandroid backup on SD. I would rather not go down this method as it could have an undesired result, I have done it to restore a G1 back in the day but not 100% if its gonna work on a tbolt. Thankfully his phone boots, and we can get into hboot, but yea.. pretend recovery just doesnt exist at all...
Curious if anyone has any knowledge above what we have already tried.
SUCCESS !!!
I fixed it !
Apparently, when I loaded up cm7, files showed up about the same time on my sdcard in clockworkmod download file. I deleted those files, and reflashed clockworkmod in rom manager, (which this time took like 3 - 4 minutes), and rebooted into recovery and it worked...did it again, just in case it was a fluke and it worked.
All is well now...the planets are realigned !!!
Thanks everyone for your ideas and especially thanks to mattgyver83 who helped me for something like 4 hours yesterday. Exceptional kindness !!
mods...you can close this thread.
I followed this guide here to root my EVO 3D:

Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
Hello , thank you for reading this. I'm trying to fix my amaze, it's stuck on the HTC boot logo. Phone was running latest tmobile rom, i unlocked the bootloader and rooted it to remove some tmobile bloatware using bloat freezer. Well the phone kept having these weird problems so i looked to install a custom rom. I installed clockworkmod recovery and then put my downloaded rom which was in a ZIP file onto the sd card. I booted into recovery, made a backup, then wiped data, then wiped dalvick cache or w/e it's called. wiped partition, then installed the ROM. the initial setup went good, phone said successful boot but when i restart it stays on the boot logo. So after some reading it looks like i didn't flash the kernel. So i found the boot.img file in the rom zip file but now i'm not sure what to do with it. I can boot into recovery but that is it. How can i flash the kernel with just clockwork recovery mod? Please help! I obviously would really like to get my phone up and running.
So as of now i have some custom roms on the SD card along with the OEM Ruby rom. I tried installing the tmobile stock ruby rom and it just says install aborted and it can not install. What should i do now? I juts want to get the phone working now. Thanks
Install 4ext recovery, it will flash the kernel for you, just make sure to turn on smartflash in the settings before you flash a rom if you're still S-On. If you're S-Off, then no need for smartflash

thank you. is there a way to install 4ext when the phone is just in recovery mode? my phone is just at the clockwork recovery main home screen right now. i can mount the drive and put files on the phone but that is it. thanks again
Okay so the tmobile stock rom is on the sd card. I renamed it to PH85IMG.zip and booted into hboot mode, it found the zip package and there was a loading bar. But then it went back to the boot screen. I tried restarting and it wouldn't move past the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I tried using the all in one tool kit to flash 4ext but it just keeps saying waiting for device. Pretty sure it wont work in clockworkmod recovery. Starting to get worried

Too flash the T-Mobile ruu you would have to relock your bootloader first.
As for flashing 4ext with the toolkit, when it said waiting device, were you in the bootloader, or did u select fastboot?

i think he was in recovery. ok so flash 4ext with the toolkit (i think you need to be in fastboot for the toolkit to flash it). then go to tools(in 4ext recovery) scroll down till the end and make sure smart flash is enabled (when it says enable smart flash means its not enabled and you need to click that, if it says disable smart flash then dont touch it you re good). then you can install a custom rom and it wont boot loop
hope this helps
hey guys thank you so much for taking time to help me! i got it flashed with 4ext and now using smartflash i'm able to flash roms onto it. so relieved to get it working, thanks again!

Ok, so I am running android version 2.3.4 and I wanted to flash cyanogen 10 mod. so I rooted my phone, checked with root checker to make sure it was rooted, then I tried to install with the stock recovery. To find out I couldn't because of the stock recovery not allowing me to. So I got the DX2 bootstrapper, allowed super user permissions, then I tapped the recovery mode button. The phone just boots normally with no recovery screen. help?

When you say DX2 bootstrapper, are you talking about CWM Recovery? That's the app I've seen used the most for flashing/backups/etc. I'd highly recommend using that one if you're not already.
You can find download links here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169677
After installing the app, run it from your app drawer and follow the onscreen instructions:
Press "Install Recovery"
Wait for the "Success" popup
Plug your phone into a wall charger (very important)
Press "Recovery Mode"
Wait for phone to boot into recovery, then proceed as normal.
If you've already tried this, and it's still not working, I'd look into how you rooted. I know using the zergrush method doesn't work as well as Pete's (or at least that's been my experience).
it's not really cwm recovery, it's dx2 system recovery, works almost the same
cwm doesn't work on dx2

I assume he means the Bootstrap Recovery for the Droid X2. Thats the correct file. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but when you reboot, make sure your phone is plugged into the wall. You HAVE to have it plugged it for it to work.
EDIT: Never mind, someone did say that. But I would think that would be your problem.
So I'd been having some problems lately with my phone hanging on the Samsung screen on boot. Been running CM11 1/1/2014 nightly most recently. Decided to try using TWRP instead of CWM. That didn't seem to help my issue, so I tried installing CWM again. I used an app called Recovery Tools to download the touch version of CWM. After it said it installed, I tried to boot into recovery and got the error "Unauthorized software found. Please contact Verizon." (paraphrased a little).
Doing some research it looks like that error typically comes up when the bootloader is locked. Now, obviously I had my bootloader unlocked (well, Loki'd) because I was running CM11. Any help fixing this? I'm able to bypass the warning screen on boot if I hold down vol up + power like I'm going into download mode, but then hit vol down to cancel to boot up the phone. Once booted everything is ok, but any reboot just brings that up again. Using ROM manager to flash CWM recovery seems to work ok and it says its installed, but same issue. So does trying to flash TWRP from Goo.
If I were to run this tool that I used to root and loki before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301720) to install a recovery, would I be able to get everything going again? I think that somehow the recovery I installed wasn't Loki'd, although I picked the right one for my device.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
The fix I found was by pure dumb luck. I ended up trying to flash a recovery with Odin. Odin failed but reboot back into the os. I then used the twrp manager app from the playstore (mainly because goomanager wasn't downloading the recovery at the time) to flash the latest twrp recovery and all was good. Even though Odin failed at flashing the recovery I still think it helped somehow. I haven't thought much about why but I might have to now.

You could probably try using ODIN to get back to stock MDK and then Re-Root and install a recovery after.
Edit: And then flash CM11 again.

I was actually able to reflash TWRP w/ their app from the Play Store. Still get a lot of boot hangs on the Samsung logo though. Seemed to happen less with CWM, but now I'm too scared to try to install a different recovery. I appreciate all your help guys.
