then it goes back to the same screen
when your on that screen hit the volume down and then hit the home key that should take you to the recovery screen. Tells us what happens.
Nothing happens, i tried volume down then home, and volume down + Home key.. neither of them did anything

Heres some stuff to try.
Just noticed your not on the eng-spl so you don't have fast boot.
reboot your phone while hold down the home key until you hit the recovery screen.
hard reboot your system by taking out the battery and putting it back in (unplugged) and then boot the phone while holding the home key.
Maybe you can give some insight into what you did exactly to get to this... any new roms, kernels, spls, radios etc...
Held down home key and pressed power button, but it immediately goes to that same screen
Bought it off craigslist thinking i could fix it lol.. and if i couldnt i knew i could just ebay it and get my money back + little more
Sounds bricked. Can you bring it up on adb when its in hboot?

To get to that menu u hold power search and menu I thinks its line a factory hard reset to get off that menu I had to just pull my battery and boot into recovery holding the home and power button sounds like ur hitting the search button as well wen ur holding home to boot into recovery make sure u don't hit the search wen holding home might work

I'm Almost Positive If you have
S-On you won't be able to get into Clockwork Recovery... if thats what your using?
But anyways you have to get S-Off somehow? I used the Unrevoked method along with Rom Manager which I used to Flash the Unrevoked.zip from my Sdcard!
Also a Easier way to get into Clockwork Recovery is to Hold the Home Button and then just Tap the Power On Button wait a Second then Let Go of Both Buttons! That Should Direct you Straight to Recovery without All the Volume Down, then Home Steps!
Good-Luck!

Incorrect because to get S-OFF you have to be able to enter recovery mode to flash the Unrevoked zip or whatever method you used. Also flashing through ROM Manager is just an automated method of flashing.

I don't know if he's talking about the manager or just Clockwork Recovery, but you can still have Clockwork recovery without being S-off. When you root your phone with Regaw's or some other one click rooting mods, they usual install a CW recovery (I think Regaw's is 3.0.0.5) which I used to root after my last RUU to get the latest PRI about a month ago (probably when the 1st question was asked anyway).
You know if you hit the action button, menu and the end/power button it will reboot the phone (if your looking for a way when the phone is frozen and you don't want to pull the battery).
Happy Father's Day to all of the fathers (and soon to be fathers). I need to change my signature too. I'm flipping between 3 rom's, so less will be best.

Did you flash a custom recovery
sounds like your root didnt work right I tried the unlocker way first and never got it to work right I would RUU and then re-root useing the guide in the sticky in the main forum.

Yes....I followed the steps under #2 on this website
hxxp://theunlockr.com/2009/11/18/how-to-root-your-sprint-hero-in-one-click/
(change x's to t's)
Try the tutorial on this page. Its the one I used and got it right the first time. If not, you can try Fresh's Kitchen. Its pretty much a one click root that actually works.
are you making sure you are not holding down the volume down button when you boot?
Hold down your home key and while holding it down press and let go of the power button. Just to be sure keep holding the home key. You should boot into a recovery console. Let me know if you get to it
If not you can still access it if you can get into fastboot....which is holding the down? volume button and turning it on.
Fresh's kitchen will Root your phone. I wish there was a way to get his on the top of google search's. His is alot easier than all the other methods.
Thank all of you that responded.
My phone was fixed in the weirdest way. I simply hooked it up to my PC with USB and rebooted both my phone and the PC and it worked.
So it seems that I may have simply unplugged the USB from the PC too soon and that is why it did not reboot all the way.
Anyway, that was just weird. A simple reboot to my PC while hooked to the phone through USB and it works fine and damage control Rom is working fine.
Once again thanks.
I noticed you got it to work. But I would like to add for anyone reading this, when you got the android guy on the skateboard its just the normally recovery screen that comes on the phone, its always there even when you flash a new recovery to your phone. Sometimes when im tryin to boot into recovery I will get the same screen, pull the battery and try again, Iv had times where it went to the white screen 5 or more times and then finally boot into my custom recovery.

You will probably have to wipe everything and flash a rom again.
Here is a nexus boot screen that will work. And it wont mess with the rom.

Hi -
So I used the Super-One Click method to root my phone and the I wanted to make a Nandroid backup and went to boot to recovery and I got a screen with three android-dudes on skate-boards and a message that read:
"HERC XC SHIP S-ON

This happened once before when I was trying to boot to recovery before ever rooting. The problem is, I don't know which button is "action" and which button is "send." Last time, it didn't really matter because the phone was relatively new and I hadn't even put many contacts or apps on it.
Of course, I made a back-up and everything, but nothing I've read has warned me about this screen so I'm kind of worried I messed something up from the get-go and it causing this. Or maybe this is perfectly normal and the answer is so obvious that I can't see it trying to look at all the details??? Please??
Thanks!
Wow. Never seen that before.
I've gotten this several times when trying to boot into recovery as well. There is a name for it but not sure what it is exactly.
I do know however, you want to press send, which is the green call button on your phone, otherwise it wipes your stuff. When you press it, it'll reboot the phone, so immediately after pressing the send button, hold down the home button and end call button so you can boot into recovery.
Not sure why this screen pops up, as far as i can tell, it happens if you press the end key then the home key when holding them down. I've started holding down the home key first, then pressing and holding the end call key and haven't gotten that screen in a long while.
Hope that helps.
edit: and in case you were wondering, "action" is pressing the trackball.
That is the boot loader, which everyone has, and the action button is the track ball and the send button is the green call button.
When you want to go to recovery hold down the home button and press(not hold, otherwise it goes to the boot loader) the power button.
Also, I don't know if the one click rooting method installs a recovery image, if it does not you need to flash one first. Be sure to check and read the instructions completely.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I have used the one-click root method and it does not include a recovery image. You have to go into the market and get rom manager.
Thanks!
Well, you all gave me great info, but I had already found out the hard way that the "action" button was the trackball. Oh well. I'm using ROM manager and ClockworkMod Recovery, so no worries there. Of course with ROM manager, I can just reboot into recovery from there. But its good to learn things the hard way.... twice... now I will remember what is "send" and what is "action."
Thanks again!
Another option is to hold the Volume Down button and the power button. This will take you to a screen similar in style to the boot loader. One of the options from that screen (I think Home) will be recovery.
Hi,
I'm really tired from looking and searching and downloading files which are most coruptted or link is not found etc......
I have totally wiped out my HTC T-mobile G1 ...... the only thing i see now is either a big G1 in the middle or when pressing the Camera+Power button just showing a white screen and some writings on the top of the screen and in the middle a yellow line and a (Serial 10 or 01) wittin on it.

k im not 100% on this but im pretty sure you cant flash that 2.22.27.08 radio right off the start when you havent had recovery flashed on yet.. i suggest following this method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR0HpUVv-BY but read description first because you got to downgradeto 1.5 if your device was on 1.6.. did you try to boot in recovery mode? holding home and power.. what happens when you try that. if i had a lil more info i can help you out..
also were you already rooted before this happened? and if you were do you remember where your device left off before this happened..? radio, hboot, recovery etc...??
what exactly does it say when you power on with camera+power?
sorry for so many posts lol but another suggestion would be trying to un-root and starting from scratch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491350
Hi,
Thanks for the quick Reply when i press the home+power button i get the .T..Mobile G1 screen and it freezes there when i prees cam+power i get the 3 skating androind on the bottom of the screen and some writing on the top which it is:

HSPL 10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO- 1.22.12.29
Oct 20 2008
and it freezes there also when im not using the SDcard
if i copy some files like the DREAIMG.nbh and few other files on the SDcard and try to reboot again using the cam+power it shows me that it does somthing like loading files which are :
DREAIMG.nbh -
BOOTLOADER -
RECOVERY -

and then ill have either to proceed by pressing the power button or cancel by pressing the action key(the green key) but nothing works if i press any button

k well first i would suggest the un-root method in that link i put in last reply.. and if that doesnt work than try loading a different hboot (dreaimg.nbh) try to get one that is 2005 or something.. i have one.. the only problem is mine is in a zip file (meant to flash in recovery after root method i posted in previous comment) so you would need to find a different one in .nbh form
P.S. the action key is the trackball (press it in) lol but that doesn't help because its to cancel..
i tried that too but since it says hit alt+s and since nothing si working even after loading the DREAIMG file i think ill take your suggestion downloading an old version of the .nbh file so can u providfe me with a link for it or can we chat on messnger or somthing ?
Also when you are rooting your device or just doing anything to it you always want a sdcard inside. specialy when your attempting to root
wait so did you get the exlamation point screen at all? its like a triangle with an exclamation point and i think a pic of a phone..
no nothing at all it stopps where it shows the loaded file and nothing after that

yeah thats normal you should get that.. the only reason it wouldnt work is if your teying to load the same one thats on already.. try formatting your sd than put it back in your device leaving it empty, than boot up with cam+power and when you get the skateboard guys press and hold green button, red button and menu. that should reboot so you dont have to remove battery... try that than tell me exactly what happens

I dont know how to get out of this loop or to go bak to recovery manual mode. Please Help. Any chance we can fix this

Pull your battery to get out of the bootloop. Then press and hold home while pressing the power button. That should take you to your recovery, where you can wipe and reinstall CM7.

I did what you said. When i press power and home button the only menu option i get is 'Clear Storage' to which i pressed yes and 'Menu reset' which i pressed yes. it reboots and back to the loop. Back to loading CM7 and 'touch to begin'
The party is still on. As said installed CM7 with Gapps for CM6 accidentally and now stuck in endless bootloop. Trying to fix it. First suggestion hasnt worked so far
OK so you don't have a recovery (I'm guessing you tried to use rom manager = bad idea). Do you have ADB?
I think I do but have never used it ir dont know how
Is there any hope of recovering the phone or is it just better to get a replacement from Sprint

You need to pull the battery, press volume down + end button (at same time) in order to get to the bootloader. You should then see the skateboarding androids. Press the home button to get into recovery and wipe/format boot, system, data, cache (just to be sure) and then reflash and flash the right gapps.

I doubt sprint would even look at it, let alone fix it or replace it, once they see that you rooted.
Also, I've flashed older gapps with cm7 and didn't get loops. My guess? You forgot to data wipe before installing cm7.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Ginger-on-Hero action here!
Thank you so much. That finally got me into reboot. Now waiting for reboot with fingers crossed Thank you
Well something went wrong and for all you guys out there with Sprint. They did replace my phone. All i had to do was call and tell them that I was at their Service center to fix the phone and those guys couldnt fix it and it is stuck on the boot screen. But i think i will manage to salvage this before my replacement arrives
Lessons Learned
So the big lesson here is when you need to get into recovery press the volume down and the home button simultaneously and your home free. Thanks to all who helped
Update - Issue Solved
So i did mange to get into recovery and wipe everything off and reinstall cm7 again. Now i hope to flash the right gapps and ill be in gingerbread heaven

If you have a sprint hero, that is actually not correct.
hold home and press power = recovery
hold vol down and press power = bootloader
I don't know what's up with your phone, and I'm glad you fixed it, but if I were you I would reflash a good recovery image just to be safe. Also, make sure when you're getting ROMs you get them from a thread in hero cdma and use the gapps also linked in the OP of that same thread (don't use rom manager IMO). Always flash from recovery and follow the correct steps, that way you should not run into "issues" again. Also, my best encouragement for you, is to search and read. Happy flashing
If you have big fingers, pressing the power button can sometimes press the search button or back button, often causing you to boot into bootloader instead of recover.

Hold down the HOME button and then hold the POWER/END CALL button til the phone screen comes on and that should boot you right into recovery if you're having problems with the volume down method

Hi,
I tried the regular fastboot method to load CWM recovery.
Whenever it got to the point of loading the recovering, it would just say "flashing recovery on the device...".
Then, when restarting bootloader and clicking on "recovery", it would just shut down the phone.
I decided to experiment to try fix the issue, and I came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928551
I downloaded the ZIP file and I ran the root.bat
It flashed some boot images and now my phone wont start
It is stuck on the "warning bootloader unlocked screen" and will not go any further.
Please help . I'm so scared that I've bricked my phone. Is there ANYTHING I can do?
Thanks in advance for the help!
The methods u used can't brick your phone
Reboot in boot loader by pressing the power button and volume - button at the same time. Just at the moment the phone shuts-down/reboot release the power button. It will boot in boot loader. After this flash cwm or twrp again and with the volume down button go to recovery. Select recovery with the volume up key and u are done. Cwm/twrp is flashed and will boot in the recovery.
In recovery I would install the ROM from Omar. It will restore your system and boot.IMG so it will work. Don't forget to wipe data.
If this doesn't work flash the home made fast boot files somewhere in the development section

Thanks - I tried that. I do let go of the buttons as soon as it starts to reboot itself, but it doesn't start the bootloader - it still just shows the screen "warning bootloader unlocked". I can not get back into the bootloader
Do u reset the phone with the 4 buttons and just when it resets does your phone reboots immediately?

If I hold all 4 buttons, the screen goes blank, and the green light stays on. My PC then finds hardware called "MEDFIELD" but wont find drivers for it.
Does this help at all?

The above applies when connected with usb.
If I press all 4 buttons without USB connected, it just reboots and gets stuck on the "unlocked bootloader" message again

Just of curiosity - which button you used to select recovery - power button or vol.up button?

You should let go only of power button and hold vol.down button (at least for me)
If your PC finds hardware - can you do fastboot devices to check whether it is actually recognized properly?
And last thing - which method you used to load recovery (and were you on ICS\JB)? You were rooted and used automated methods or you unlocked bootloader and wanted to root afterwards (manually through fastboot)?

You are a GENIUS!!! A LIFE SAVER!!! I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. BOTH of your points fixed the phone.
I could never get into recovery becuase I was pressing the power button. I could never get into fastboot becuase I was holding both the power and volume down button.
So, for anyone using a RAZR I... please note the following SIMPLE things:
1) In the bootloader menu, the power button does NOT select the option. The VOL UP button selects the option
2) To boot into BOOTLOADER : Hold both power and vol down buttons until the phone restarts, and then RELEASE the power button, while still HOLDING the volume down button! It will then load the bootloader.
Again, THANKS so so much for reviving my phone for me. I was going crazy without a phone!

I was going through everything you've faced yesterday. So yeah, glad I was of help to someone else as well)
This has never happened to me before but don't stress one bit because nothing ever permanently bad comes from this. You can forget about it being destroyed. These aren't iPhones, haha. You can get it going again pretty easy I hear. Just don't stress because there is no point and you WILL get help. Just listen to what these experienced dudes are saying and you should be back on track. Good luck!

UPDATE: Nice! Glad to see you got the help you needed and everything's back on track!
Nice that it is solved. I gave u the solution on my first post, but nice that someone els did a better job in explaining it
There is almost no possibilities to brick your device if u only flash things like the boot, system, recovery or data partition. They can he solved very easy. If u flash the other partitions like the radio u can get a problem.

You are 100% right. I just re-read your post, and noticed that you did mention those 2 points. I must've just read over them really quickly and didn't pay attention to the details of which buttons to press. :angel:
Thanks a ton for your help! Really appreciate it! :highfive:
