Starting 3 threads on the same subject won't help, and is quite annoying.
Keeping everything in one thread will help people to help you.

Can You reach The recovery?
From there go to installation zip and install a new ROM (previously downloaded an copied to the root of your SD)
From recovery usually you can activate SD card for transfering files from the pc.If not, insert the SD on the pc in order to copy the rom.
Dont forget to swipe all from recovery before that and i Hope that you already made a backup of everything with titanium

If you can't enter The recovery i don't know how you can flash a new rom.
Maybe you can describe one by one all the steps you made in order to understand where is the problem.

1. Goto http://unrevoked.com and download the software
2. You now have a choice of recovery, Amon RA has released an SLCD version of his recovery, which in my opinion is much better, it has a few more features than Clockwork. I recommend Amon RA, but the choice is yours.
Amon RA Recovery v1.7.0.1 R5 SLCD: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4481275/recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5-SLCD.img
Clockwork v2.5.0.7 SLCD:http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip
3. Go to HBOOT, this is done by shutting down your phone and powering on the device while holding the Power button down and pushing Volume down at the same time, once HBOOT is loaded do a wipe (Clear Storage). You can navigate the menus by using the volume rocker and the Power button to select your option.
4. Load Unrevoked and load the custom SLCD recovery file on your PC:
Goto File>Custom Recovery and point it to the recovery image that you downloaded in step 2.
5. Restart your phone, it will take a few minutes because you did a wipe, just wait it will load (up to 5 minutes). As soon as the welcome screen loads plug your phone in to the PC and Unrevoked should do it's thing. If Unrevoked doesn't start, then hit the Menu button go to Settings --> Applications --> Development and enable USB debugging.
6. The phone will restart a couple of times, and will look like it's hanging on the HTC screen but it's not! If the HTC screen is present for more than 5 minutes pull your battery and start again ( I had to do this a couple times myself). If Unrevoked pauses half way through its process, it could be because for some reason you don't have the proper drivers installed. You can load them as Unrevoked does the root process, while the phone is rebooting if Unrevoked pauses and Windows prompts you for a driver point it to the C:\android\tools directory and it will load the drivers and Unrevoked will continue its root process.
7. When Unrevoked is finished you will be left at the recovery screen,
8. *** VERY IMPORTANT*** Before restarting do a "wipe cache partition", "factory reset". And now would be a good time for a Nandroid Backup
9. Now reboot, and Android should load. Check for Superuser Permissions app, if you see it you're good if not restart from step
I followed these instructions i did got superuser on my phone but when I installed busybox and titanium backup it said its not rooted and I installed rom manager from market and try load my leedroid from SD card and it reboot the phone and that was it. I can go to HBOOT but when I pick recovery it turns off the phone or maybe it just blackscreen. My phone did work till I installed the ROM manager from market and messed it up. And thank you soo much for your replys

So You have amon ra?
Go to recovery And make wipe of everything except battery.
Then, put the battery out from The Desire.
Put it back, enter The recovery again and allow SD card (i dont remember now exactly The name of the option) After conecting the Desire to the pc.
Transfer From The pc The new rom.
If you dont have one, look for Modaco custom r9 for Desire, because it is very close to the stock rom. In order to get it you will have to pay but it's worth the price and in the future you Will have full access to new custom ROMS!
Then go (in recovery of amon ra) to flash zip And flash the new rom.

Sorry is recovery when using press volume down and power?

Ya I do have amon ra

And when I go press down volume and power and plug USB to computer my computer doesn't find it. It doesn't show up but it does show on phone USB is plugged

Ok,You press down volume. Now choose 2nd option (recovery) by moving vol down and when in recovery option press power to select.
Desire reboots and enters in amon ra recovery.
From the options choose usb-ms toggle and connect the Desire to the pc. Rest of the steps as explained.

But when I choose recovery the screen goes dark or turns off not sure which 1. When I connect the USB only phone says HBOOT USB plugged nothing on computer

is" your" desire branded? e.g orange, telus
have you tried installing an official ruu preferably a wwe version?

If you enter the recovery and the screen swich off...i can't help you. I don't know how to bypass that issue!
I'm sorry

[Q] System dead, I can't enter even in recovery mode...

Hello Guys...
I've write about my problem in a thread title...
What can I do? : ((
P.S. RMA is impossible...

Can you Enter Hboot? (press volume down+power on)

A bit more details of your problem would be much helpful.

sorry to use this thread for my problem but I thought it's not necessary to open a second one with the same problem.
I can't enter recovery or boot into OS. It freezes at the splash screen. I tryed to flash a new recovery via fastboot but it didn't help. So I'm going to try to install an official ROM and redo the other stuff to get root again.
My problem is ... is unrevoked able to give me root no matter which hboot comes with the official rom? I have to install the one which is on the o2 homepage. HTC Desire: Version 2.14.207.1
I googled a bit and found answers that it doesn't matter which hboot I have after that but I just want to make sure.

Quoting from CrimzonEyed above, Can you Enter Hboot? (press volume down+power on)

This might work for BOTH of you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck

dumb noob question :(

trying to root my evo 4g. using revolutionary. how do i move the superuser folder to my sd card? everything worked flawlessly until i tried to recover at the end. phone locked up and showed a exclamation mark. had to take out battery. luckily it didnt brick the phone. sorry... this is my first time rooting

If you hboot shows the 6.16 hboot, you're rooted; you just have no recovery. You can go to the dev section, download and flash the amon ra (style), cwm, or twrp/2.0 recovery at your choice.

Save flashable zip from here to desktop. Then mount phone as disk drive via usb and copy flashable zip to root of sd card. Boot into custom recovery and flash zip. If you are rooted and do not have a custom recovery I suggest Amonra recovery from here.
You can also download super user from the market here

Hmm, that's odd. Twrp 1.x works fine; it must be either the .2 or .3 version of Twrp 2, because I used the initialize version just fine. The only issue was that it sometimes didn't wipe a second time after flashing an initial rom.

man... still want work. i put the recovery on my sd card and it still gives me the exclamation mark and the phone locks up. i guess i need to start over. how do i start over the whole root process? this really sux. this is like 20th time ive tried to root this phone and gave up

Dude i promise you when you get it right you'll realize that it wasnt as hard as you thought. Trust me i been there before. Look w/ revolutionary if you did it right it'll ask you do you want to download clockworkmod from the internet. Hit "Y" for yes.
It does it automatically. I did a bunch of phones the same way.

Put the recovery on your sd card as PC36IMG.zip (make sure it's not PC36IMG.zip.zip).
Turn phone off and pull the battery.
Put battery back in and hold volume down while pressing power (press the volume down first before pressing power).
Hold until white Hboot screen comes up (should say Revolutionary at top).
Wait for it to scan your sd card and press volume up to let it update.
You can reboot phone or go staight into recovery by not rebooting and selecting recovery with power button in Hboot
here's a link for AmonRa 3.11 (recovery that I recommend) http://www.multiupload.com/UW89IC4DBW

If you downloaded from the link I gave you in post above then rename zip to "PC36IMG" (all caps) and place on root of sd card and boot into hbot.
Notes:
To boot into hbot hold "vol. down' and "power" at same time. When you boot into hbot it will ask if you would like to update recovery. Select volume up and let it do its work and yes to reboot when finished.
PS: When you have finished updating recovery either rename PC36IMG zip or erase from sd card.

great.... now it want even reboot when i hold the power and volume button down. wtf!!!!

Pull the battery then try again. I had that issue once awhile back.

this is getting on my last nerve!!! i downloaded recovery ra supersonic and finally got it on my sd card. i click to download through revolutionary and it says cant open file. this is getting old! ok... please remember i am a totall noob with all of this. i suck bad with software. awfully bad. i can build a computer but i can not do programming and stuff like that.
after i download a recovery tool to my computer... what do i do after that? unzip the files... what? ive just been copying the folder and moving it to disk e where my sd card is. wow... this aggravating

i dont see how in the hell it shows the recovery file in my sd card then when i try to upload the file through revolutionary it says bad file... did not download. what in the hell else are you supposed to? this sux!!!!

Wrong. Leave the recovery zip, [named PC36IMG] zipped on your sd card, then boot into the bootloader [power off the phone, hold vot+down until you see the white screen] it should then prompt you to update and should say recovery, select up, select up to reboot, hold vol+down, this time decline the update, select recovery, and you should be on amon ra.

Stuck in WFS Recovery (White HTC Logo)

It all goes like this - I wanted to root my WPS to solve space problem, although, there was a solution for it without rooting, I figured I will be wanting to use some apps that need root access and some roms sooner or later.
So I did a search and found few ways to root my phone. Being a lazy ass I decided to use "the simple" one click solutions - gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) or Root Unlocker (http://www.unlockroot.com/) This was no success. Gingerbreak kept rooting when I launched the app, but Root Unlocker displayed " FAIL TO GET SHELL ROOT". I figured that problem with Gingerbeak might be that I updated the software to the latest version -
Then I went on and tried another tutorial(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275). Everything was fine till I selected Recovery from bootloader. It got stuck with white HTC logo. Took out the battery tried to use newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery, but still was a no-go. I also can't do a factory restart. I can't do it from bootloader or settings > SD & phone storage > Factory data reset. (But could do it at first. Before trying to root my device I did a factory reset once.)
Is there a way to use another Recovery (not CMR) or force Recovery from fastboot? As I found there are some other people that got stuck with similar problem.
Other problems:
My phone doesn't show up in HTC Sync. Althought, when I tipe adb devices in cmd, it shows up. I did turn my AntiVirus off when I installed HTC Sync, but it still didn't display my phone.
I also found that I can't boot when I connect powered off phone to my pc. I have to take off my batery.
Here are my specs:
Model HTC Wildfire S A510e
It shows Marvel in bootloader.
Phone was S-OFF when I bought it.
Android 2.3.5
HTC Sence 2.1
Software number 2.26.401.3
I bought my phone without a contract from a local internet shop. I am from Baltics.
The phone might be somewhere from Europe.
My bet would be Poland. (guessing that manual language is Polish, but I might be wrong)
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE!
I took the original recovery img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426611 and flashed it. All went well. I did a restart (after doing this I was able to boot power my device while connected to pc) and had another try with CMR recovery, but it didn't work. I also I tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406321 recovery img, but it didn't help, I still can't get into.

How to root Wildfire S S-OFF the easy way
First download this
Put it in your memory card
then press and hold voldown+Power
It will load the bootloader follow the instructions on the screen and update accordingly
Then Turn off
Remove that PG76IMG from sdcard
After that download this and put in your memorycard and update same way, it will flash the CMR5.0.2.8 (after flashing dont forget to remove this PG76IMG from sdcard as well).
Now download this put it in your mmc and flash this from recovery.
Done.. U have successfully rooted Ur S-OFF device Now In CWM do factory reset install new custom rom according to the way devs say. I can assure U that this process will even remove Ur white screen

im stuck too on the recovery s-on btw and bootloader unlocked

ME TOO
but i m s-on

Same problem here, unlock by htc-dev worked. Recovery flashed but device stays stuck on the HTC logo. So my daughter's phone is unlocked but that's it.

Thanks, but now I am simply stuck with white htc logo on black background with purple line after entering recovery.
There might be another work around with fastboot, but also have a fastboot remote: not allowed.

Let me know

I dont understand. If ur splash screen changed means u have installed cwm. Just select recovery and install a rom. Like this one
Download the rom. Put in ur sdcard.
remove battery
press vol down+power
press vol down
press power to select recovery
In recovery to move press vol up/down, to select press power
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced>> Wipe Dalvik cache then also wipe battery stats
Go back
Install zip from sdcard
Select the romname.zip put in sdcard
that should be it instructions are also found in that rom. thread so simple!!

Here is a flash file you can try since you are S-Off. It should flash the default splash image, CWM 5.0.2.8, hboot 1.03 and re-calibrate the touch panel.
Hope it works for you.

Problems persist
I have the same problem. My bootloader is unlocked via HTCDEV.com, though with S-ON. In any case...
My WFS is running 2.3.5, it's A510e.
installed recovery image 5.0.2.8 via console (had trouble installing it from the SD card).
each time I attempted to go HBOOT > RECOVERY, my phone would reboot, but would be stuck in black screen with the nav buttons at the bottom lit up (HOME, MENU, BACK, SEARCH).
installed recovery image 6.0.1.0 via SD card, going to HBOOT > RECOVERY will restart the phone, but it freezes on the white screen with the green HTC logo
downgraded to recovery image 6.0.0.3 via console, same problem - frozen on the white screen with the green HTC logo.
at this point, I'm out of ideas, but it seems that recovery image is at fault here?

Hi,

I Hope this method would solve all your problems....
Follow and flash these system.img, boot.img and recovery.img file as in the link. (You must have installed .net framework on your PC).

Nope didn't work. I reflashed each of the boot.img, system.img, and recovery.img, manually though, since the utility didn't work for me. To do this, I booted into HBOOT, then FASTBOOT, and ran commands from my machine "fastboot flash <image type> <image.img>", where <image type> is either boot, recovery, or system, and <image.img> is the corresponding image (boot.img, recovery.img, system.img).
It seems my recovery cannot boot from HBOOT. It simply gets stuck.
With clockwork recovery 5.0.2.6, the phone appears to shut off completely.
With clockwork recovery 5.0.2.8, the phone will shut off except the Android buttons at the bottom are lit up.
I don't know if I can use later CW recovery images, but I tried 6.0.0.3 and I get stuck at the white background with green HTC logo when attempting to go into RECOVERY. Downgraded back to 5.0.2.8.
However, I gave the HTC SuperTool v3 another try, and this time it worked. Previously was giving me errors.
So... to those that are stuck, boot your phone normally. Make sure to go into Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging. Also enable 3rd party installs, just in case.
Then proceed to STEP 3 on this page http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html

For those who want more info, here's another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725398
It appears that the latest Wildfire S has a slightly different firmware, possibly for the video chip, which causes the CWM Recovery not to work. Perhaps there'll be a fix released eventually, but for now you can follow the thread above for some possible workarounds and more info.

Try mg all in one tool. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697985

Then proceed to STEP 3 on this page http://www.htcwildfiresblog.com/2012/03/guide-to-rooting-htc-wildfire-s-235-s.html

It appears that CWM 5.0.2.8 actually works, but it doesn't provide any output to the screen. With ROM Manager, you can automate starting into CWM Recovery and installing a custom ROM, so it doesn't matter if the screen is blank.

phone bricked? stuck at "this build is for.." screen

hi guys,
today i made a huge mistake. i was trying to deinstall the cm9 by just wiping my phone. accidentaly i made a "system wipe" with my recovery. now my phone ist stuck in the "this build is for development purposes only" screen. i tried to reboot into recovery via the aio kit - error: device not found. (led not flashing, not even when i connect it to the "normal" loading adapter). i just read another thread which ended in sending the device back to htc. i wonder if there is any possibility to safe my phone from that.

Are you able to acces the Bootloader by closing the phone and restart it by keeping pressed at same time VOLUME DOWN + POWER ?
Be careful: Do NOT press volume UP!, Do not hold Volume Down for too long!
Once you are in the bootloader you should be able to:
A:Go into recovery and repair it from there in you have the ROM on your SD card.
B:If you are unable to acces recovery mode from bootloader, try to use the All In One Tool and flash the TWRP Recovery (the one in the right part of the window) also, note that there are too version, CDMA and GSM, if you have a sim card flash GSM, if you do not have a simcard use CDMA.
Let me know how it went

ok. my phone just quick restarted. it directly went back to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. pressing volume down + power button for a few seconds doesnt work to get into bootloader. i tried it serveral times. im not even able to turn the phone off. holding the power button only wont help at all.
thanks for ur help.
edit: i feel.. pranked now it worked and i went from bootloader to recovery (twrp already installed). can u tell me what to do now? thanks a lot already

Hm,
Well since you cant remove the battery on this phone, id suggest to just let it finish with what it has left off of the battery. once it is closed try to recharge it and then try to boot in recovery, ofc you might not be able to do this today, depends how much battery you had left when the problem started, but it's a chance, also if it's rooted you bootloader will be unlocked so i doubt HTC will grant you warranty for it (not 100% about this though). let us know if you manage to do any progress with it after you manage to make it close.
cheers

i just edited my post. managed to get into recovery (twrp). what do i have to do now?

Download a new rom and transfer it to your sd card, then flash it from your recovery.

If u have the ROM in the SD card just flash it and reboot other wise as he mentioned above

Ok, last night i went to sleep.
You now need to find a way to put a ROM on your SD card. whatever ROM you choose make sure you have the correct kernel for it (in every post for ROMs you will find a download link to the correct kernel aswell).
So what you do now (after you have the ROM .zip file on your SD card and your Kernel file in your PC) is:
-Put your phone into Bootloader, Select fast boot and connect the USB cable, and make sure it tells on your phone "FASTBOOT USB"
-Then in All in One select "Flash Kernel" and browse to the correct Kernel, and flash it.
-Reboot your phone in Recovery mode, you have the option in the fastboot screen.
-In the Recovery menu select Factory Reset -> Wipe System.
-While still in recovery go to "Install update from SD card" (or something similar) and choose the ROM .zip file, wait for it to be flashed
-reboot your phone (1st boot is always a bit slower, could take up to 5 minutes).
-after you get to your main screen, reboot the phone again and flash a Google Apps (gapps) .zip file. You will find the correct version from your ROM in the official thread of the ROM. You DO NOT run a factory reset, wipe system or anything like that for flashing Gapps.
Good luck.
