Recovery black screen

[IanAck123]

i rooted my phone using unrevoked 3 for the most recent OTA update. everything went fine. it loads up into hboot fine but whenever i try to make a ROM backup with rom manager it boots up and then my screen turns partially black and then after a couple seconds it turns all black and freezes. also whenever i boot into hboot and go into recovery from there it turns black as well. what is the problem?

I think you lost root. You need to go to the unrEVOked website and do the procedure for version 3.22.

Do you have an amoled or LCD screen? I'm pretty sure you have a LCD. If that's the case you need to flash an alternate recovery. There are posts here and on the XDA developer site on how to do that.

It just means you have a SLCD screen. Clockwork Recovery wasn't built for those screens thus not allowing you to see what happens but it is indeed working. Only downside, you cant get into recovery manually.

So just be patient and let it run it run its course. It takes a long time specifically when backing up and restoring images.

I don't think he needs to get into recovery, he just didn't know it was working. Op, even though you see the blank screen with the white lines, Clockwork is still working. Just let it do its thing

If you are trying to get into recovery manually, do what he said.
