[Q] Help? Lost root Access and Clockworkmod?

I am running Htc Desire S-OFF running Cyanogenmod7.1
A little while ago there was a new feed about running Ubuntu on Htc Desire on Xda's front site so i looked it up and started to do it, in the end i got all the requirments one of which was busybox (which i found weird as i already has superuser but i installed it anyway)
in the end i didn't actually ever run ubuntu or ever get it working in the end as i just didn't have the time.
The other day i went to uninstall busy box which i did and now it seems that i dont have any root access even though i have super user and i dont seem to have clockworkmod anymore for some reason?
When i power down phone hold down button and power ect to enter hboot when i choose recovery it goes to fastboot power down, reboot or hboot?
Help all i wanted to do was flash Miui? :L

is your hboot s-off? If yes it's no problem to reflash your recovery via adb.

Could I reflash the recovery by going through revolutionary?

[Q] Can't get into recovery (to make a back up of stock ROM)

---- PLEASE MOVE POST TO WILDFIRE S - Questions section. wrong post sorry!!----
Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this!
I have tried to do research on my problem but can't solve it...
The problem is that i can't get into recovery to backup my stock rom.
Specs: HTC Wildfire S, marvel A510e, S-on, Bootloader unlocked, Rooted, Radio-7.54.39.28M, Andriod 2.3.5, HTC sence: 2.1, ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, Super SU.
I followed the guide: "How to root the Wildfire S with S-ON"on Andriod forums by CafeKampuchia, thumbs up for him It got me this far but, now I want to do the thing for which I rooted my phone in the first place: Installing a costum ROM. Therefore I want to backup my stock ROM.
Installed CWM ROM manager, if use backup current ROM option, the phone reboots and i get the HTC letters on my screen these. After a few sec's they dissapear and my screen goes black and my buttons on the bottom light up. I can touch those but nothing happens besides that it buzzes.... When I it boot the normal way again and use the option 'manage and restore backups' in CMW ROM manager, it shows that there has been made a backup. Not shure if I can trust it though....
When I open in HBOOT (1.09.0099) and push recovery the same thing happens. When I boot the normal way and try to boot into recovery trough CWM ROM manager same thing happens again.
I saw a other topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229&page=2 i tried to flash this recovery to see if a older version might work, but now i have got a problem flashing... See picture: View attachment 1031874. Anyway that is not my main problem, what i really want to make it clear: is to back up my stock ROM.
Many thanks in advantage!

wait for device，you boot your phone to fastboot，and is works
---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------
I think your hboot is very high， you downgrade it to 1.030000 may be works.

Hey pal if I was you I wouldn't use rom manager, I've known it to have issues over both wildfires. Turn off your phone the normal way. Pull out the battery for 10-20 seconds or so, put it back in and hold volume down + power. Once your hboot is finished scanning the sdcard scroll down to recovery and select it with power. You should go into clockwork mod. Then scroll again with the rockers down to backup and hit it you can do as many backups as your sdcard will carry. So do that and you should have one you can trust. Also before you install your new custom rom read the main page throughout to see if it needs set up in any specific way, like with a special sdcard partition or something. And most important don't forger to wipe your cache, dalvik cache and factory reset the Device from clockwork mod recovery ! This will avoid bootloops good luck

Hey, I'm would like to try this but when i searched for a tutorial one said: "In this tutorial, I will show you how to downgrade Any HBOOT and Radio to "around" HBOOT 1.03.001 and Radio 7.48.36.1 or less with S-ON. How amazing is that!

As it says i will downgrade my android aswell, this does not work for me because my main goal is to back up my stock ROM. correct me if i'm wrong.

The other tips are usefull

Try booting to recovery via adb or terminal emulator.In both cases the code is
su
reboot recovery
Sent from my Optimus Me using xda premium

Your bootloader cannot be the issue. Go to here. And try there install recovery options. Also what happens if you cold boot the device with volume up + power?

Tried booting via adb but it says: error: device not found.
This is weird because i flashed recovery cmw just before and that worked perfectly fine... SDK works fine as far as i know. su command doenst work either.

other version of cmw recovery, by following the guide instead of flashing. That gave me the following error.
CID incorret! Update fail! Press <power. to reboot.

ok how did you install your recovery to install super user? did you just use rom manager to do it? as far as i know it only installs a tempoary recovery. which would explain why you are only getting to it through rom manager. ok do you have adb installed onto your pc?
ok take the pg76img.zip attached to this post and put it on the root of your sdcard. then boot into bootloader (not fastboot) and your phone should say it found an update. flash it and it will install clockworkmod to your phone properly. then remove the pg76img.zip from your sdcard and boot back into bootloader, select recovery and with any luck you`ll be sorted. then follow my post above and you`ll be sorted pal

Sorry made a mistake here, i tried to use adb commands while in hboot. When i tried it when the phone was on as usual i could use SU command and the # logo showed up bit than my terminal froze and i couldn't write anything else.
Than i tried it again this time only using the commands as follows:
cd c:\android
adb shell
su
reboot recovery
Difference is that the first time i typed: adb shell su. all together this freezes it up...
Anyhow it sitll doens't work.. i get an empty line in cmd, thats all..View attachment 1033568
But this could be because now a flash of a recovery img doens't work it gives: Waiting for device...

I didn't use rom manager, i used a recovery img from CWM: ahttp://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/nd flashed it with sdk, trough cmd promt. So yes adb files are in place and working.

Why don't you try reflashing the recovery via fastboot flasher?It worked for me when I screwed up and flashed the wrong recovery

Hmm. Fastboot flasher sounds like your best bet then.

try this one
OK，use this one one-click flash recovery5.026 in the attachment. .just download and then decompression to anywhere，connect your phone to computer with ADB driver，and then found runme.bat，and automatic to flash recovery.when finished you can see recovery on your phone like the picture in the attachment.

Make sure you're using the proper keys to enter the bootloader. It's volume up + volume down + power.

You're not likely to get much help in this forum, unfortunately, since we're Galaxy Nexus owners. Maybe someone will see this and be able to help, but you'd be more likely to find help in the S3 forum.

1. ADB can be used on custom recovery to push files.

[Q] HTC ONE X - Big problem. Might be unfixable...

Hey there guys,
I have rooted my HTC One X a while ago. Used a nice rom and it was all great. But then the HTC Sense 5 and android 4.2.2 update aired, so I wanted to update my phone. I put the new kernel and rom on my phone. Flashed both (something must have gone wrong, because I was in a boot loop). I am able to go to recovery. Somehow I lost all the files on my phone. So there is no rom left. I tried push a new rom on my phone using adb, but it was not successfull because it said: ''no device detected''. So atm I am stuck in recovery, without a rom, the mount usb function on my clockworkmod v5.8.2.7. doesn't work. I do not know if there is a solution. Hope you guys can help me out.
Please! haha!

Problem is solved. Had to flash a new recovery! Thanks to Mr Hofs and Stefan0vic!

Flash a new recovery, mount the sdcard in there as a usb disk and copy a rom to it.
Flash the boot.img of the rom, make a full wipe and install the rom.zip !

You don't have to.. you just put your recovery.img to the folder where your adb and fastboot directory is in your computer. Then hold shift+right click, select open a new command window here, then type:
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.img
Then you have a new recovery.. i hope this helps.

I know if this would work with anyone else, but sometimes, when my laptop doesn't recognize my phone while on fastboot or recovery, i'll unplug my phone, restart my laptop, reboot my phone to recovery, then most of the time my laptop will then recognize my phone.. i hope this would work for you too. But i really don't know what am i missing here.. but it's not that hard to give it a try.

Then you have s-off too. You should be able to flash the 4.18.401 firmware that upgrades the hboot to 1.72 and then install a sense 5 rom
But sense 5 roms also works on at least hboot 1.36 and higher. Lower then 1.36 dont know....not tested it.

it usually takes a minute or 2 for adb to kick in on the phone after connecting the phone to usb port.
1) check in device manager if your phone is detected Android USB device
2) after connecting your phone PC open command/cmd type adb kill-server
3) wait for about 2 minutes
4) type adb devices if it detects your phone then you can copy the rom zip with adb push xxx.zip /sdcard(ie if you are unable to mount as usb)

Yes it's a fully touch recovery. And the mount usb function is not working in 5.8.2.7 because it's just not supported.
That's why he needs a new one

Hee guys,
Thanks for all the help. My device is running again!
