Have you tried booting into recovery? Power+volume down...

Did you try to boot without the SD card? It helped me once.

Assuming you are running a custom recovery image, go to it via the bootloader menu (Turn phone on while holding volume down, then navigate to recovery using the volume buttons and selecting recovery using the power button). You should then be able to flash the same ROM you currently have installed. If however this is a completely stock device then you could run PASSIMG.zip via the bootloader to save your current install. If you need more info just ask

how to wipe??
where is wipe option...let me tell u that i cant able to access recovery menu ..without recovery menu i cant wipe or flash the phone??
is that true?

If you can flash a rom use 2.1.1 not 2.1. Assume you are doing that thru fastboot from pc.
Also, try the 3 finger reboot to get to recovery.
Hold down pwr/vol-/trackball at sametime until phone boots into bootloader, then navigate to recovery option. Then wipe all and restore a good bu. If this happened while dl'ing apps, one may be bad. Get all of them off phone and do one at a time.

Ok, understand now.
You may have some options thru fastboot and the pc. Do you have SDK installed on pc. I am not good at that, someone else may have suggestions along those lines. Unless, as I asked, you already have used that method to flash amon ra 2.1.
If you can thru fastbboot with SDK I would still flash amon 2.1.1

I am out of ideas, sorry
Someone will get you going
Sounds like you are using SDK, it may be the way to wipe and get back to an original phone state, then reupgrade. I don't know sdk very well.
Did you try the other idea of trying to get to recovery with sd card out of phone. If you do that you may want to back it up while out of phone if you have a sd card reader
Good Luck and wait for more help

Why does this thread say solved??
Just restore a stock image.
Follow the wiki guide for unroot/restore. Use the passimg method, with the FRG33 zip, which can be found by following the link on the word "here" on step 2...

[Q] Screen cannot wake up after i turned it off

Just as a posted on another thread, now my phone is running android1.1, after i turned the screen off, i can no longer wake it up by pressing any button or sliding keyboard, but the keyboard light can be lighted...

What do you mean by "turned the screen off" turned the phone like completely off or just put it to sleep? If you flashed, then check to see if your radio/spl matches up to the roms requirements. If not, then thats the reason. If you just put it to sleep, try factory resetting your phone via holding power+home to get into recovery, then alt+w

It could be the rom youre using. Try updating to the latest radio/spl and downloading frosense or any of the cm7 roms. I dont think its the lcd. If it turns on at all, then the lcd's not the problem. Thats what im thinking because i dropped my phone in water before, the lcd was damaged. SCreen wouldnt even turn on, but i could hear everything. So yea. .

Well, the problem is updating recovery, i have tried many times, but after i flashed the recovery using fastboot or flash_image, the recovery mode cannot be displayed normally, only the last line" Build: 1.7.XX" can be seen, there's no items above. So i've no idea how to flash roms. Can i flash roms in the fastboot mode?

Are you rooted? If you are, then i have a solution for you.
Assuming you have root- Download ROM manager from the android market (the free version) and open it. It'll ask for superuser permissions. Click allow. then click flash clockworkmod recovery. Then itll give you a list of htc dream or magic. Click the dream and let it download. After it finishes, itll say "clockworkmod download complete" or something like that. Then theres another option on the app that says "reboot into recovery" click that, and flash the recovery you want. I recommend that you just use cwm recovery as i am using it on my g1. .
If you dont have root, then.... I have no idea. Sorry. And no you cant flash via fastboot.

my phone is rooted, but the Rom manager have to be force closed once i run it, i have tried different versions of Rom manager and different roms.
I have flashed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 via fastboot, but it didnt show anything when i enter recovery then.
Now I dont think i can flash Roms via recovery, so i prepare to do so via fastboot, i'm learning how to make *.zip packages for fastboot, its different from packages for recovery as i learned.

easy fastboot is just that; an easy way to use fastboot for the novice. also try droid explorer, a very simple to use program that may help you download what you need. both are free and easy to find links to - just google search or search these forums.

E file signature verification failed?

I am a noob an I am alittle confused with installing roms. I tried to install one and it went through everything and then it stopped and it said in yellow that the E file signature verification has failed now what does this mean. Please help.

What was the exact name of the rom (or filename)... was it a stock rom (SBF/XML) or was it one of the custom roms?
Also was your phone rooted?

I was trying to install a couple but the one I really have been trying in the liberty 3 2.0.

Are you using safestrap for your clockworkmodrecovery or are you using regular bootstrap?
And when you're in clockworkmod recovery what exact steps did you do to flash? You should wipe data & cache, then choose install zip from sdcard.

I don't know how to use or get bootstrap and I don't know alot about safe strap yet. I tried different ways I tried using rom manager an downloading the rom from there then it will ask if I want to boot into recover I push ok and the phone just reboots. Nothing happens so I tried rom toolbox an did the same thing. So I tried to boot myself by pushing the power and x an I did as you said I wiped data a cache then I reset and restored my phone went back an installed zip from sd card then it starts to install then it says E file signature verification has failed.

Ahhhh ok.
It sounds like you are trying to install zips via the stock recovery. That recovery will only install signed/official ones, not custom rom zips.
If you want to install custom roms, try this method (but I recommend browsing through the other threads. There is a lot of useful info out there). This is the safestrap method. Safestrap allows you to have your stock rom (that you are on now) in the "non-safe zone" and with safestrap you can enable the "safe zone" for installing your custom rom.
1) make sure your phone is rooted if it isn't already. There are threads about this... I used DoomLord's root (version 4) for my phone but read up.
2) install safestrap 1.08 (u can find it in the droid 3 development forum). It is an apk file.
3) when you run safestrap 1.08 from your app drawer, superuser will probably ask you if you want to allow it root access, say yes.
4) in the app, hit the first button. It will install safestrap so you can boot into safestrap recovery. When it says its done, restart phone.
5) upon restart, you will be greeted by the safestrap splashscreen. It gives u 10 seconds to hit Menu to take you into safestrap recovery. Otherwise it will just continue with booting.
6) so hit menu. Safestrap ecovery appears. It will indicate that safe mode is not enabled yet. You are in non-safe right now (your stock rom)
7) this step is optional but I'm sure everyone will recommend it (I do also). Navigate your selection with the down/up volume buttons and hit power when you get to "backup". This will back up your non-safe zone and dump it onto your sdcard (internal or external). You can restore it to your non-safe zone (only) if you happen to mess up your non-safe system. The backup will be stored in /safestrap/backup. of whatever card you select.
8) now that that's done, it will take you back to the main menu of safestrap recovery
9) Go to "safe boot menu" and hit Toggle safe zone. Don't do the quick toggle, just do the normal one (the first one)
10) when that is done, you will notice the colour of the text has changed. And at the top it will say safe zone enabled. You can now install your custom rom by going to "install zip from sdcard" from the main menu of safestrap*
*Note that when installing roms, make sure to choose Wipe Data first. It will wipe your data and cache. Then go into mounts and storage and choose "format /system" (thanks Endo). Some people also like to go into the advanced menu and wipe the dalvik cache as well (is this necessary? I do it every time because I had to back on my old htc... maybe someone can comment on this?) It doesn't seem to hurt anything when I do it, so...
So after your wipes, you can go to "install rom from sdcard" . Choose the .zip of the rom (of course) to begin install. When the rom has finished installing, you can go back to the main menu and choose reboot phone. You will be greeted by the safestrap splashscreen again. It will tell you that safe zone is enabled. Wait the 10 seconds to boot normally or you can hit the search button to go immediately.
On first boot of many roms, it may take a little longer than normal to start up. Be patient. If it never boots (and you are looking at the boot animation forever... say more than 5-10 minutes?) Then... somethings wrong, or you may have forgotten to do your wipe procedure, but go to that rom's thread and read all the posts to see if others experienced the same thing... someone could have posted a good suggestion or solution
Oh, if you want to switch back to non-safe mode, restart phone, get into safestrap recovery, go into safe boot menu, and hit toggle. Then restart phone.
If something disastrous occurs, there are Unbrick and Fastboot threads in this forum where you can download a stock rom for your phone and flash to your phone via RSD Lite, which will pretty much restore your phone to stock. (No more safestrap, no more root). Read through those to get more info.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck!

I'm not really sure what you are doing but uninstall any recovery you may have installed and ditch rom manage(you can keep the toolbox) go to www.hash-of-codes.blogspot.com go to downloads and get safestrap. Install it, open it and click install recovery. Reboot your phone, you'll get a screen saying pish menu to enter recovery then once it enters go to safe mode menu(or whatever it exactly says) and enter safe mode. Once safemode is active(it says at the top of the screen)go to mounts and storage and format system then do a data/cache wipe, the install zip from sd
If you're doing what I think you're doing you are new to this and I would suggest reading as much as you can in this forum and by googling the various terms you find so you don't brick your phone

If you have your heart set on rom manager, I believe it will work, but I've never used it so I can't help you there. I recommend safestrap because once you're in safemode its pretty hard to screw up your phone in any serious manner. In safemode you'll always be able to access recovery.
In a google search of your issue I found a recommendation of turning off signature verification. I know I've seen an option for this or something really damn similar in clockwork recovery. You can try that if you like but I don't know the effects of it. As always, I'm not responsible if you brick your device
That said, I would also suggest that you look into obtaining rsdlite and the appropriate fastboot package(you may know this as an sbf, although that term isn't totally correct)so if you do brick your device you know how to recover it. There's a sticky in the dev forum about it
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium

Thank you I understand I wouldn't ever blame anyone for my mistakes so your good. I was thinking about using safestrap anyways just haven't had time to research it much yet. Probably would be best since I don't know much about roms anyways. Now it's not that I have it set with rom manager just seemed easy to use and I like rom toolbox alittle more anyways. I also know that not all roms are comparable with the safestrap so that's another reason why I haven't used it yet.
Now on another topic. I have downloaded safestrap on my computer all I have to do is plug my phone to the computer an put it on mass storage and place it in the sd card or internal memory and unplug it an click on it on my phone.
I really need to start some research cause this stuff is pretty hard.
But thanks for your help again

I don't know how I missed your huge write up. More detailed than mine.
I figured the same, stock recovery. I'm not sure what steps he's taken before he wrote this thread.
OP if its the boot animation, on first boot it takes a long time. 5 minutes normally but give it 10 to be sure. If its the splash screen you may have issues. Is the safestrap splash coming up, where it says press menu
You may have to use rsdlite or the fast unbrick to restore your phone to stock. If you can write us EVERYTHING you've done in as much detail as possible, and exactly what is happenig now we can come up with a solution.
I think often all the various terms can be confusing to newcomers. I have a feeling perhaps that you still have a bootstrap installed and safestrap.

i want to go back to ginger yoshi from cm7

hi.. im currently using CM7 on my G1 and i tried to switch back to gingeryoshi. i've successfully install it but after i install it and reboot my phone. my phone always rebooting to recovery. what ive done wrong? i still have the RADIO-2.22.28.25 and hboot-1.33.0013d. how i can go back to yoshi ????
thanks in advance

strange, to get into recovery you must hold down the home key as you power on, this sounds as simple as a stuck home key. but thats unlikely if you have been using your phone without any issue until now (im assuming this)
what recovery do you have and what method did you take to get back to gingeryoshi

i have ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 and i use the common method.
wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and then install the rom. at the 2nd attempt i wipe also the dalvik cache and at the 3rd attempt i use ohsaka-superwipe. but it all the same. after installing, it reboot to recovery. i don't know what the problem is. because i've already tried to install froyo by laszlo and even the AOSP 4.0.1 Alpha 2. but i get no problem going back to yoshi after trying those rom and i use the same recoverymod. and yeah i don't have any button problem at my phone. and here im using my phone again with CM7 because i can't go back to GingerYoshi. so i just install cm7 again. and i got no problem

it sounds like you are doing everything right. best guess is that you have a bad gingeryoshi update.zip - try going to the thread and downloading again gingeryoshi, then reinstall this to your phone.

4. Press the power button to select Recovery mode
5. From the Recovery mode screen, press and hold the Power button then
press the Volume up button.
6. Use the volume buttons to select wipe data/factory reset.
7. Select Yes -- delete all user data.
8. The factory data reset process will now start. Once its finished,
select 'Reboot system now.'
The only option we have in the new recovery is to wipe data. Maybe for those having problems accessing twrp or cwm will be able to a access it with step 5. I don't know haven't rooted yet. So I decided to ask about nvflash and they said they're not going to release any nvflash tools or files.

um, yup. thats how stock bootloader and stock recovery work. lol
whats the issue? if your not even rooted, you wouldn't even know if you have an issue or not with the new bootloader.

Are you saying that you can't flash a different recovery? Or that when you do you still get the same stock recovery? I'm not quite sure what the issue is here, because that is exactly how the stock bootloader, and recovery are supposed to work.
Are you making sure to unlock fastboot before trying to flash recovery. I don't recall seeing or hearing anyone say anything about not being able to get to clockwork mod once its installed.

No. I saw people posting they couldn't get go cwm and could only see the red exclamation point. And I was just saying maybe after choosing recovery then holding volume up and power it would then go to cWm or twrp. I was hoping for someone to try it who is still on 3.41 Recovery. A lot of people downgraded back to 3.39 or whatever version it was

I can confirm that to get in to the stock recovery you hold down 'power' and then tap 'vol up'.
At present I am running the latest CWM touch recovery. This boots straight into it from the bootloader without any extra button presses.
My personal preference to go into CWM is from either QuickBoot or ROM Manager.

I wonder why some on 3.41 can't go straight to twrp and some can. Sorry for the ahole comment I thought you were trying to be a smartass towards me. I'm just trying to find out as much info from people before I root. I am experienced at flashing and a little adb but I just read a lot of HELP BRICKED MY NEXUS posts. Did you use wugs toolkit or adb to unlock and root?

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try unlocking and rooting when I get home. I really want to use the OTG cable and the 720p mod.

When I first flashed TWRP onto my Nexus 7 after that official 4.1.2 OTA update, I wasn't able to boot into it. I then flashed it again via fastboot, and then booted the TWRP image that was on my computer, and then TWRP loaded.
I believe TWRP does work normally now as well (I can boot into it and reboot into it).

Well if I was you I'd just use mskips toolkit, its absolutely epic it'll save you a lot of farting around. I take it that your fully updated? ( Not that it matters) You seem to know and understand your way around adb so just go for it and enjoy.
Its works smooth as silk and save you a lot off time. The options available to you are just staggering!

No need for personal insults, lets just try to help each other out and show each other some respect.​

going to recovery from bootloader works fine after 3.41.....wat r u talkin abt? (i m stock rooted+twrp)
oh yea...u hav 2 remove that recovery stock.p file thingy first.

There are plenty of people that are having issues with recovery on 3.41 bootloader.... Its confirmed some have it some don't.
The issue is that with 3.41 bootloader on some Nexus 7 Devices a custom recovery is unbootable no matter how you try, every time it will try to load recovery and fail at a black screen then reboot into the OS. It does not matter how you try from ADB reboot to recovery or from bootloader with USB attached or not.

Ohh crap I read about that in some thread. Any idea exactly what has to be done. The only way I can get into cwm is with ROM toolbox but I have to reflash cwm every time then hit boot into recovery.

In your system folder there's a file called 'recovery-from-boot.p'
Go into a file manager with w/r access and rename it ' recovery-from-boot.p.bak'
When the system boots it reads that file and resets the recovery to stock, by changing the name you remove the problem.

No problem, a click on the 'Thanks' button for me and my colleagues on this thread would really make our day. :thumbup:
I hope you get sorted mate, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night until I got custom recovery working properly on any of my devices!
