Hi Guys,
I have searched everywhere about this with no luck so have been forced to start a new thread...
I am running amon-ra v2.0.0 on my S-ON Desire.
I flashed the latest CWM that rom manager provides and it works... then i flashed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954
Cool, it worked. But when i reboot it goes back to amon-ra????
I am thoroughly confused..
any suggestions?
Did you use fastboot?
Flashing the .zip is only temporary, to permanently flash recovery you have to use fastboot to flash recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&page=15
has some details.
Hi sorry, i should have mentioned that when i tried 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-bravo.img' i got the following error...
sending 'recovery' (3036 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
you need to be S-OFF in order to flash recovery through fastboot (S-OFF disables signature checking in fastboot)
if you dont want to go s-off (it is easy, seriously) you can unroot, then while rooting again choose AmonRA in unrevoked.

To downgrade you gotta relock using the HTC tool, then and only then can you downgrade to s-off
can i relock using another method? (I am unable to find the hboot lock instructions)
EDIT: sorry I wrote before I tried. Used ACS and it worked

I don't know how it all works. Try googling how to relock using the HTCdev unlock tool.
Getting error on updating/downgrading your RUU.
Get back to official ROM,WITHOUT using any Running Any RUU.
No need to root for downgrading your ROM Any more.
And no need to Type any adb command.
Follow this 6 line tutorial.
1. Download this tool Flash Without RUU
2.Download Rom.zip No matter which location you belongs to.
3.Extract first folder,extract second folder.
4.Copy and paste the contents of second folder in First folder.
5.Connect your phone to Charge only mode with usb debbug on.(disable any antiviruse/and firewall if enabled).
6.RUN/Double click the "Run me flash.EXE"
If getting any connection error try using fastboot-usb mode.
Use Gold Card to bypass signature verification error or use area specific Rom.zip
Best of luck. (For those,who are getting signature error)
Remarks : Works with any wildfire s,no matter which Location device belongs to?(With Unlocked Bootloader or S-OFF)

it ignores all the files excluding the highlighted Three (Boot.img,recovery.img and system.img).
it will not update your hboot,or radio.
but in your case i think
you are not bootloader unlocked or S-off.

The signature verify fail error is because you flash a rom of a different region so it has a different cid. To overcome this you will have to make a gold card. Then you won't get that error.

Thanks,
I forgot to mention that.
Also one of the main reasons is that you MUST be either bootloader unlocked or s-off.

if you are getting error in step 3.
after finishing format in step 1. > change the phone in charge only mode with debug on.
it will work now.
but again have to change your phone to "USB Mass storage" while patching the image file in step 5.
Best of luck.

Ok sorry, I'm gonna try to be more clear:
I patched the goldcard and repeated the process from top
still I got into the booting htc animation
which loops forever,
I wanted to go back to my back but I guess the goldcard won't let me do it since after backing up from clockwork recovery
the htc brillient loop comes back again instead of loading the cyanogen
can you help me?

Hello,
Im having reallly big problem with my Desire HD device and unfortunately,I realize this is only my fault and inadvertence. Im hoping that someone will help me with my problem...
First of all, I've had stock 2.3.5 on my device and every possible blockade. I've used Downgrade_v2 files (with adb and Gingerbreak and 1.32 stock android) but it wasn't working as it supossed to do. I've found nice tool to unblock DHD, called EasyAceRootTool. Everything went OK, new H-Boot was uploaded, unblock process went smoothly, Revovery Touch was uploaded to DHD as well, Superuser was installed too.
And at this level I've hurried too much, because I've installed by recovery new rom on Android 4.0.4 , this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839004
And of course... I know now iVe forgot to make S-OFF, android doesn't start, nothing happens at all....
My Hboot now says :
Hboot :
***Relocked***
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.0020029
RADIO -26.14.04.28_M
Ive tried a lot of soutions
1)Install PD98IMG.zip on sdcard (2 different stock roms) but when Bootlader is checking image, it says, that newer android is already on device
2)Install RUU, It says that there is a problem with Hboot and i need to wait for upgrade
3)Install PD98IMG.zip (pulled out from stock RUU) by recovery, it says that this image is "bad"
4)Restore backed up adnroid from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876&highlight=hboot, from section "Install stock Vodafone ROM", but it didn't helped as well, it says MD5 checksum failed...
5) When im trying to unlock Hboot in EasyAceRootTool, it communicating with device, but then it says : "Your device is not recognized"
Please guys... what else should I do ??
ps. I know there's a lot of grammatic mistakes, sorry for that. I was trying to check what I was writing

Wait, no. Flash the ROM from recovery. You can't flash zips like that in fastboot. You can flash ROM images, but it makes more sense for you to get a recovery and flash zips instead.
If you don't have a recovery, first you need to install one. If you have a rooted ROM, you can install a recovery from apps: ROM Manager for ClockworkMod, 4ext Updater apk (from 4ext's website) for 4ext, and GooManager for TWRP. If you don't, download a recovery.img and flash it from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
.
If you do, just go straight to flashing the zip from recovery. Then,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

What are you trying to do?? If you have an unlocked bootloader a RUU will never flash. Besides, being S-ON requires the specific RUU for your device.
If you have CWM and an unlocked bootloader, you can flash any custom rom in recovery but need to flash boot.img after flashing the rom.
You can't flash apks in recovery, only zips. Then fastboot flash the boot.img.

Ok, I was trying to put this device on feet, because it wasn't load any ROM I was flashing. There's a lot of tools and tutorials that I was reading before flashing DHD on xda and other forums.

Few minutes a go I flashed Sabsa-Prime ROM by Recovery, then i searched for boot.img in Sabsa_Prime_v16.0_By_AlirezaB.zip, flashed it in fastboot, anddddd tadaaam...Everythings working perfectly
Thank You gyus, I really appreciate your help !! I was really stuck on this device...

Hello everyone, I started to play around with all the diff things you can do with a rooted phone had plans for getting a custom ROM for my phone. Let me stat by saying that I am very new to all this.
I day ago i was getting ready to install the custom ROM for viper (ViperOneM8_1.7.1) reason being is coming from a htc one m7 with sense i wanted to get back to sense from my stock GPe m8.
I was able to unlock my bootloader and get my phone rooted I fallowed this video (How to Root your HTC One M8 - Full Guide) From Sakitech... or least I think im rooted still... I'll come back to you as to why I say "I think I'm rooted".
I thought it would be very simple just fire up the custom recovery and flash the ROM and sit back while it flashed, well everything went down hill from this point. Let me tell you what i did.
First i got to the custom recovery and I did a wipe I did advanced wipe and checked the boxes this is where I think I deleted the OS(after this I could not get back on the phone to do anything only will boot to recovery and it say no OS installed then asks if I want to get SuperSU installed this is where I already thought I was rooted but maybe on not??? I'm very confused about that
Then I used the sideload method to push the rom zip and try to flash the rom at this point I cant get it to flash. First I was getting the MD5 error I checked that off now it will just fail either saying error executing the binary from the zip or that zip is corrupted. (I tried re-downloading the ROM even from mirror link)
At this point I am very frustrated and feel helpless. I tried my best to keep from posting this and try to research to see if i can find the solution myself but I'm having no luck I have my days off from work to get my phone up and running or ill just have to go but another phone. At this point I really need some help. All I want is a working phone if i can get back to GPe stock that would be fine or make the ViperOne work.
Attempts to solve my problem: I tried flashing GPE4.4.3_m8.zip and other stock GPe ROMs nothing works
Thanks for reading and all your help I will sit nest to my comp and answer anything to try make everything as clear as possible. Thank you again
So I tried ViperOne again and it was starting to install but then fails. I searched around and I found that i need to have s-off to be able to install the ROM.
Can I get s-off from the recovery or bootloader/fastboot?

Try this :
Do a full wipe in the recovery, install viper rom but do not choose to do a full wipe in the aroma installer. Once finished you flash the boot.img via fastboot and then reboot the phone.
You do not need s-off to flash custom roms. But the GPE thingy can be the problem....

try that command, and what model did you have originally and did you convert to gpe or flash a gpe ROM.
gave me an error
Code:
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Its a stock Google play edition I bought from the Google paly store, I didnt flash any other rom the ViperOne rom was going to be the first flash on the phone
Do you have an SD reader on your laptop? You can buy a big SD that you can put a small SD card inside it, then put the ROM zip file inside the SD card, after that plug it in your M8 and flash it via twrp.
Let me know if you couldn't understand any point cuz my English is not that good.

Correct command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
status 7 means you don't have right recovery for that ROM
Also search about Stock GPE partition layout, is it same as normal non-GPE. I doubt it as I seen somewhere about people do full conversion to GPE, they need to reflash firmware to correct the partition for Sense ROM. This is what I understand from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589

I have researched about the partition layout and I think you are right. How do i get the right partition layout? this is all a learning experience for me lol. I just hope i can get my phone working again.
In thats case then i might be worse off then i though my phone is s-on an there is no way for me to get it s-off in its current bricked state... to the the Ruu to install
correct me if im wrong but then what i have to do is just flash the stock rom for gpe beacuse since my phone was already stock GPe the the frieware(partition layout) will apcct it... right?
I want to thank everyone at the this point it looks like i have a lot of learning to do. Thank you

Follow the link in the post you quoted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589
You should really read carefully before doing stuff with your phone, especially when you are unexperienced.
If you are unsure about anything, ask before you try messing with something and hope that it will work.
You didnt, and now you have the mess.
But now even now you are not able to follow the instructions people are giving you.
In the post you just quoted there are instructions how to go from GPE to Sense and also back (#1 and #2 post)
