how do i un-root my phone?

so i did the 1-click rooting thing BUT the problem is that i wasnt supposed to let my phone reboot into normal mode and that caused the process to become undone. now, when trying to boot into recovery, i get the exclamation mark with the 3 options. please help me @[email protected] i'd rerun the recovery flasher program BUT my phone was wiped too and i cant get past the gmail screen. i have no data plan
android reflashed my recovery partition with the built-in backup DDDDDDDDDD:

If you get a recovery image when pressing home and end than youhave a recovery just boot a rooted rom like cyan's in and you will be good to go, you can acess your sd on a computer by going into recoverey console and typing ums_enable to mount your sd and ums_diable to unmount

i dont think i can, because my phone rebooted into normal mode and android reflashed my recovery partition with the built-in backup, so i dont get the usual recovery mode screen. i have the exclamation markw here you have to press alt+L and theres only options to wipe, install the update.zip and reboot.

Alright then you will need to find a way to acess your card like another phone or card reader if you can not get past that, once you can read, download a rom and rename it update.zip, if you are windows it hides the extension so just rename to update, by the way how did you get the orignal recovery if you used the one click witch flashes cm recovery 1.4 were you have a lot more options and don't have to hit alt-whatever

i did use flash cm recovery. but like it said, after rebooting into normal mode on accident, android reflashed my recovery partition. i wouldve had the screen with more options if that hadent happened. and i wiped too, so i couldnt access the phone due to being locked out because of the stupid log in screen. by the way, do you know how to get past it without another sim and data plan?

The recovery image is immune to wipes and partion cleaning, it is deep in the sif you get acess to your sd and put a rom on there ystem, without an adp phone, there really no way past that login without a custom rom, yes painif in the ass, try another sim get into phone and reflash the recovery to go any farther, once you have cm recovery 1.4 than you can really go, if you can put a rom on your sd before reflashing recovery and you can not get it go past the recovey that you are on now than you do not have permission and you are not rooted

How do you use clockworkmod rom manager?

I have a Mytouch 3G running test 7 on my phone, and i just installed the clockworkmod rom manger. After, installed it i wanted to flash a new rom, so flashed the clockwork mod recovery, and when i tried to install the new rom from the sd card, it keeps on getting stuck on the mytouch screen, and nothing happens. How do i get into the recovery screen? thanks

First: This belongs in Q & A !!!!111
Which ROM did you flash? Maybe you had to wipe before

right now, i'm running cyanogen test-7, but when i go into the clockworkmod rom manger app and pick the flash rom from sd card, it just says it has to go to the recovery, and then my phone will reset and it would just get stuck on the mytouch screen. So, i just pull out the battery and reset the phone again, and i realized if i press the end button, it will go the rom that is already on the phone. I'm i suppose to push some buttons or something to get to the recovery screen?

No it should flash the rom you select and reboot the phone to boot the new rom without keypress needed.
maybe the wrong device was selected when downloading the recovery image? Try reinstalling clockworkmod recovery from rom manager.

Mod edit: not dev related, moved to q&a

I have the same problem.
I downloaded and installed Rom Manager from the Market and it has completely screwed up my recovery (I can't get into it at all). I tried flashing Amon's again (through Rom Manager) and it still doesn't work.

Your recovery has been corrupted, you will need to flash it through fastboot.

Connect to your PC via USB, and from the command line issue "fastboot erase recovery" and then "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
More on common fastboot commands here can be found on these forums, i'm not allowed to post links.

i connected my phone to my computer but nothing on my computer pops up. only the new hardware wizzard pops up. what do i do from here? im i suppose to get a adb popup? how do i set up the fast boot? i'm so confused..thanks

some one, please help..i want to be able to flash new roms in the future...thanks in advance

Can I sugges that you try this sticky thread at the top of this forum board.
It contains all you need to know on who to set up fastboot and how to use it - there are a couple of tutorials on it if you read through the thread.

CM 5.0.7 for Dream/Sapphire introduced a bug in flash_image. It causes recovery flashes to fail. It has since been fixed in the latest test of 5.0.8 I believe.

Man i have the same darn bug cant get back into recovery for nothing, and i dont have a pc to fastboot i have a non intel based mac so no adb or fastbooting, i have been doing fine for forever without adb or fastboot but is there any way around this one, i need help bad, im on HTTClay Superbadv1.3 and it has all sorts of bugs but i cant nandroid or bart or flash any rom without recovery, can someone please help!!!
Also is there another way to erase the recovery partition?

Bricked?

My hero is stuck on the HTC (white screen) reboot, it keeps looping every 15mins or so, until the battery dies.
I tried to go into FastBoot (which keeps flashing, the screen turns on and off), but I can get it to go into fastboot USB if I hold down the "search" button (and the screen stabilizes too)
I flashed the stock rom, but that doesn't help. I even tried to clear all the data by doing, home + back key.
Did I truly brick the phone? I even swapped memory cards to see if it would help, but no luck there.
Any help would be GREATLY apperciated.
Thank you!

I'm still pretty new to the rooting and flashing stuff (I've had my Hero for less than a week) but I ran into the same problem and was able to get out of it. If you have an external card reader that you can use, it would help greatly, because that's how I was able to add data to the SD card without having to access the phone. Turn your phone off and remove the SD card. Plug it into your reader, then into your PC, and add a custom ROM directly to the root of the card (i.e. - NOT inside a folder) like Fresh 2.3.3 or anything else you want to use (I used Fresh because I couldn't get CM6 to load). Put the card back into the phone and boot it into recovery mode (hold the HOME button whole powering it on). You should be able to access the ROM and flash it from there, just be sure to wipe first and backup at some point. Hope this helps!!

Did you completely wipe the phone (data and dalvik) before flashing a new ROM? If you didn't wipe the top 3 options (data, dalvik, ext3) before flashing a ROM, this may be what's causing your bootloop.

Bricking the Hero is very very very hard. Unless you flashed a GSM radio, you're pretty much safe
Go back into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING (except SD), flash original ROM, it should work.
Where is your dalvik cache btw?

@jordanjackthomas
I tried to do what you said, I extracted the zip file and placed its contents in the root of the SD card, but when I tried to boot up into recovery mode, It was still stuck on the HTC screen.
@chromiumleaf
I don't think I have, but how would I be able to fix that issue if I didn't?
@derekwilkinson
Luckily, I have a copy of my SD card, So I still have it, if it would be any use?
@Big-O-Devil
I have been flashing the stock RUU for days now, and its still stuck on the same issue, (i just did it now, just to be sure, again) and will leave the phone on, till it dies basically. that way I know that I know I waited for it to boot...

Don't extract the zip file. Just copy it to the root of your SD card. Hold down the home key + the power key to boot into recovery. If that doesn't work, try to using the volume DOWN button + the power key. Then press home when the screen loads up. I'm sure you know this, I'm just making sure you didn't forget anything.

I'm gonna have to agree with Big-O-Devil here, stop trying to do it through recovery and just use the RUU from HTC/Sprint

@derekwilkinson
I have been doing that, I've tried to use the HTC/Sprint RUU and its still the same. I've been flashing the .5 RUU and .6 RUU, but none of which have helped. They are all still stuck in the reboot loop.
Is my hboot version correct?
My device does this when I boot into hboot..
"It also does a SD card check when it boots up onto this screen, says something like
herodiag.zip
etc etc"

Ok so flashing doesn't. Work... look for the stock ruu program that restores your phone back to the its original 2.1.. it's a program that does everything for you... if it works you are going to have to reroot again and start from the beginning.. let me know......

From your recovery menu (holding Home then pressing Power to turn the phone on) there is an option called "Wipe". Select that one, then there are 5 options within that. Do the top 3 of them (data, dalvik, ext3). After that, push your Back button which brings you to the main recovery menu. Then select Flash zip from sd card and go through the process of flashing whatever ROM.zip you have on the root of your SD (the whole .zip itself, don't extract all the files out).
If that still doesn't cure your bootloop problems, then you need to download the stock RUU (you can find it at this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6686401&postcount=2). This RUU is NOT the same as nfinitefx45's STOCK ROM! You have to run this RUU through HTCSync on your PC. But try the wiping that I recommended above first....then do this RUU if that doesn't work. Know that running the RUU will remove your root access, so you will have to re-root again after it's done.

+1.. that should do the trick for you... good luck....

I apologize, I wasn't using the correct terms.
I don't currently have the phone rooted, I have used the Sprint/HTC RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release(2)
file to "reset"(if you want to call it that) back to stock mode...but that doesn't do anything, it still is stuck in a reboot loop.
So currently, I dont have any options other than the default when I press "home" on the phone while turning it on. It just automatically clears the data when I do that.
@Big-O-Devil - I have used that file in that post before, and It doesn't help the situation. It is also stuck in a reboot loop.
@YoungSinema - If the file is different from the STOCK RUU, the "exe" that runs...then I would love to try that out. I went ahead and sent you the pm just incase.

Try running the RUU again via HTC Sync on your PC while your phone is turned on and during the bootlooping.

How would I do that, since HTC Sync actually never connects to the phone while the phone is turned on and during the boot loop?

[Q] Bootloop hell

I apologize in advance if this same issue has been replied to elsewhere. I'm in kind of a unique situation and couldn't find an answer anywhere.
I'm got an N1 with 2.3.6 stock ROM, rooted. Recently I downloaded Titanium Backup PRO and while attempting to integrate dalvik cache to ROM, my phone rebooted into a bootloop. I'm assuming this is a bootloop. I get the colorful splash screen, it freezes for a second of two, then continues on, and on, and on....
Is there a way to get me out of this loopwithout having to wipe all my data, so I can backup all my stuff before I flash a custom ROM?
Everything I see about bootloops, mentions unlocking the bootloader and wiping all your data. I've seen downgrading using PASSIMG and loading stock rom. I'd really just like a simple way to get out of this loop hell and get my phone back up. It's in teh ship now getting it's power button fixed.
Thanks in advance

first thing i do on bootloops is pull battery
if no go pull battery and then pwr on by pressing pwr and trackball at same time--you can then get to recovery and maybe wipe dalvik and cache and reboot
i have never used TB for anything other than backup/restores, so can't help with dalvik integration

You might be able to fix it by wiping your cache from recovery.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a try as soon as I get my phone back from being fixed.

Hey guys, I hope you can help. I got my phone back with new power button, Yay! When I try to boot into recovery, teh Nexus X logo comes on for a moment and then I get a white triangle with an orange exclamation point. Do I need to use ADB to try and go to recovery and wipe my cache? I've never installed a recovery image. Do I need to do that or should there be a stock image already on my phone? Am I SOL?

One more thing that might help. I notice that when I go into HBOOT, the phone searching for 4 images from my SD card and can't find them. They go by too fast to write them all down but I think some are PASSIMG, PASSDIAG, etc. Again, do I need to load a recovery like clockworkmod on my phone first and then go into recovery to attempt to wipe my cache?

I get the same passimg all the time--no problem
If your phone came back from repair, you are probably unrooted and hence the triangle. At least that is the way I remember it, but has been two years since I rooted
If that is comfirmed by someone else, you wil need to reroot and install a recovery
A good time, if you haven't, to install android sdk and root/install recovery the right way and have full adb/fastboot features
there other ways I am not familiar with
does the lock show unlocked on the screen, they could have relocked bootloader
the wiki has the instructions, just have to navigate to the htc smartphones and N1

jus to make sure that if u still got root. install su checker app from play store and confirm.
if not root using SUPER ONE CLICK ROOT.
flash recovery (4EXT is good) www.4ext.net
do a backup and then flash the rom u want
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

Thanks I'll check. I only had teh power button fixed and not by HTC so I doubt they unrooted it. I'm still in a bootloop but I can use superoneclick still, so I'll give that a try.

so what I'm trying to do is wipe my cache without wiping my data. I don't think my bootloader is unlocked. Am I screwed?I'm in a bootloop, so I can 't install anything to the phone. I probably could put a recovery image on the SD card, but if my bootloader is locked, I'm guessing that won't work. I'm rooted. When I go to HBOOT, the phone looks for passim files and doesn't find them, then when I choose recovery I get the white triangle. I've try to flash a recovery image through ADB but I get an error, failed to load image. Again, is that a bootloader issue?
I'm almost at the point of just wiping my data and hoping I can get it all back somehow.

Did you miss the "stuck in boot loop" part?

sorry,
meant that the triangle is your stock recovery--
you install recovery thru fastboot not adb
i would still, if you haven't, install android sdk on pc-unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and fastboot recovery--all in wiki
i think it was mentioned--holding down pwr and tb will get you into fastboot mode--phone connected and usb debugging selected on phone
you'll just have more flexibility with flashing roms etc and getting out of trouble

[Q] Help! Bricked my phone during Flash!

Hey guys,
So I've been at this all day on another forum. Here is the link to ONE of the threads : (Edit removed, cant post links yet)
So I was trying to Flash to Android Revolution HD and it got stuck at 30% half way through the installation. This lasted a good 5 hours...
I finally managed to reboot the phone using "adb reboot bootloader"
But now I'm stuck on "HTC Quietly Brilliant" splash screen!
I JUST bought this phone last night off kijjiji and I'm reallly ****ting bricks now (no pun intended)
Any help whatsoever will be really appreciated
Added a screen shot of what it was stuck at a few minutes ago. I JUST managed to reboot it..but it's still stuck.

Not really sure how to get into fastboot. Will typing that command get me to fastboot and erase cache.
Here are my options now, using the Hasoon2000 AIO
1) Re-flash a recovery - ClockWorkMod, ClockworkMod Touch, TWRP AND THEN Install zip via sd card
2) Do above ^^ but install via sideload
3) Just erase cache with AIO and install zip from sim card
What should I do?

It doesn't matter, once you're in cwm recovery, reflash the Rom with a full wipe and you should be good. Calm down dude.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

just like the gentleman above said, you need to calm down first. If your phone can boot, although it hangs midway, it has a big chance not to be bricked in anyway.
And I don't advice you to use the AIO tools, just try to follow every simple guides to flash custom recovery-root-custom rom and you'll get familiar with the process in no time.
So I assume that you can boot into recovery, these are the steps that I think you should follow:
- re-download the custom rom that you wanna flash (make sure that the download is not corrupted)
- boot into recovery (in your case,CWM)
- wipe cache . wipe dalvik (in advance settings)
- install zip --> choose zip --> point to your custom rom
- you'll see the aroma installer, pick your options until it begins to install.
- if the installation went smoothly, don't reboot phone yet, get back to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik then reboot system and let the phone install the OS (first boot usually take long timer)
- if the installation hangs at midway, reboot again into recovery (power + vol down until button blinks and phone boots into bootloader) then start again from first step
once again, I advice you not to use the AIO tools. it's safe but you need to know what you are doing and the process to conquer your phone is not that hard.

What are you holding to try to enter bootloader? I use power and volume down and it works every time. Just hold them until the bootloader screen appears then let go.
Also, like others have said, it's better to use adb and fastboot commands yourself in cmd or terminal, rather than using the toolkit - it's not too hard, there are plenty of guides, you learn quicker and it's more satisfying

I really appreciate your reply man. Yeah, I need to calm down haha.
Alright, the problem is that I can't get into recovery mode unless I use the AIO tool. I've tried everything else. Using the volume down button, under the bright light etc etc. IT just goes straight to the HTC screen. It must be noted that I DID have problems getting into my bootloader before as well. A moderator of another forum made me download an app from the app store that let me either reboot int bootloader or reboot into recovery.
Rebooting in bootloader didn't work through that app either, it just restarted the phone, However,rebooting into recovery worked. Also, AIO tools doesn't seem to allow me to reboot into bootloader either... that command just restarts the phone and gets it stuck on HTC screen.... BUT the "reboot into recovery" works here too
Problem 2 ) The device is being detected by my pc but I can't access the file system in it. It just showing as a drive with no GB in it whatsoever . when I use "adb devices" in cmd it shows my device along with the serial id though.

So, what's your situation at the moment? You can get into recovery? What are you trying to do?

Well, I'm not sure what my course of action should be.
I'm in recovery mode right now. Got there using AIO.
The Android Revolution HD rom is STILL in there.
However, I'm wondering if I should put in a new rom using adb push (just watched a youtube video that says I can apparently do that)
Or should I REFLASH with new recovery and then install the rom?
What should be by next step? Because I dont want to be making mistakes

Alright, the problem is that I can't get into recovery mode unless I use the AIO tool. I've tried everything else. Using the volume down button, under the bright light etc etc. IT just goes straight to the HTC screen. It must be noted that I DID have problems getting into my bootloader before as well. A moderator of another forum made me download an app from the app store that let me either reboot int bootloader or reboot into recovery.
Rebooting in bootloader didn't work through that app either, it just restarted the phone, However,rebooting into recovery worked. Also, AIO tools doesn't seem to allow me to reboot into bootloader either... that command just restarts the phone and gets it stuck on HTC screen.... BUT the "reboot into recovery" works here too
Problem 2 ) The device is being detected by my pc but I can't access the file system in it. It just showing as a drive with no GB in it whatsoever . when I use "adb devices" in cmd it shows my device along with the serial id though.

It is not bricked, you should hold down your vol down+power a tad bit longer, you should hold it until the screen comes on and not until when it's turned off. If the installation is stucked in recovery you should be able to go to bootloader.
You need to mount usb to your computer first. If you cannot find the option to mount it, you probably need to push files through adb in fastboot mode.

Well, I'm not sure what my course of action should be.
I'm in recovery mode right now. Got there using AIO.
The Android Revolution HD rom is STILL in there.
However, I'm wondering if I should put in a new rom using adb push (just watched a youtube video that says I can apparently do that)
Or should I REFLASH with new recovery and then install the rom?
What should be by next step? Because I dont want to be making mistakes

I would just try flashing the ROM again - it sticks at 30% all the time, it's a common problem with Aroma (the installer), nothing to do with anything you've done, nor the ROMs fault. It sometimes takes a few tries to get it properly. I'd recommend using the volume and power buttons to navigate around aroma instead of using the touchscreen...

Yeah, I tried that too. The phone was INITIALLY just stuck and wouldn't even restart. Nothing I did made it restart until finally... I used adb reboot bootloader to make the phone finally restart into the HTC screen. But no matter what I try to do, it hasn't taken me to the bootloader even ONCE, ever since I got the phone in fact.
Should I push in a new rom using adb? And if so, which one? Android Revolution HD (fresh download) or a different one that you recommend?
Btw, I apologise for the delayed replies, the forum is making me wait between each message since I'm new

While in recovery, on your computer try boot into bootloader with "adb reboot bootloader" and see if your phone can boot into fastboot mode. If it can, I strongly recommend you to COMPLETELY go back to stock by flashing your RUU.exe. After going back to stock, do the whole process of unlock/root again

It's funny you mention that! I had serious issues navigating through the aroma installer, I would have to click the "next" button at least 2-3 times. And when I tried using the volume buttons, it would only go to the button inbetween "back" and "next" which was something like "more info"
Does this point toward any other issue? Or should I go ahead with flashing rom again?

I used adb reboot bootloader to get OUT of the installtion screen, but it didnt take me to the bootloader (as usual) it just restarted. The AIO tools also didn't take me to bootloader when I used one of the commands there. So going to booatloader is really being impossible now!!

I think u need to send it to repair or warranty. Since you can't go to bootloader there's a lot of things you can't do right now.

So now I have two options at hand now...
1) Go ahead with rom installation (this I know how to do)
2) Flash official stock using RUU (this I dont know how to do yet, since I'm not entire sure what carrier this was initially on)
