some questions - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i permrooted my dhd with visionary+ yesterday and now i want to do a nand backup , from what have understood i have to boot the phone whilst holding pwr + vol down then select recovery from the menu and hold pwr + vol up to get to the menu and then the nand backup should be amongst the alternatives there, but on my phone the alternatives there are :
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
and at the bottom half of the screen it says :
E: can't open /cache/recovery/command
have i missed something out , or is there a problem?

I think you need to install a custom recovery (ClockWorkMod) to do that. You can do it via ROM manager app available in the market.

Hi all,
if I will install the custom recovery (ClockWorkMod), I will be able to downgrade to the original recovery?
sorry, but I have been searching in the forum but I only found how to flas back the original rom...
...I received my device 3 days ago!! thx!!

Yes flashing an RUU will reinstate the original recovery

[Q] Android system Recovery - need Windows-recovery.bat

I had 2.1 and root / super root and now I have 2.2 and root. I am using Steal's Deodexed Stock Rom. All is good except when I reboot into HBOOT I get 0.79 which doesn't really let me do anything with options except Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage, Simlock and HBOOT USB. I go into Recovery.
I get the Red Triangle with a ! in it.
I hold down the vol up and power and I get the Android system recovery and down at the bottom it says E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
The usual options with Android System Recovery such as reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe and wipe cache partition.
From here I can execute the windows-recovery.bat from a XP P.C. and get the menu that again says Android System Recovery only now I can usb toggle, Backup/Restore, Flash a zip, wipe, partition, other and power off.
It seems like I was able to get this latter menu before without the PC and windows-recovery.bat but now I can't.
Is this the way it works or am I missing something?
I have searched the forums several times and haven't really seen what might answer my question.
I do use Rom Manager (which I know doesn't work well for some people) and Titanium Backup.
Thanks

[Q] Help: Stuck on Android System Recovery 2e

Hello everybody,
I'm new to xda forum and to android world in general.
It all started when I wanted to intall a custom ROM (InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+).First, I started with a back-up using ROM manager, then I went on recovery mode, I wiped all data, and I installed the ROM and the Radio. When the installation was finished, I rebooted, but it got stuck on the HTC logo. I waited for about 15 mins before I removed the battery. Afterwards, I went to the "Android system recovery 2e", I found the following choices in blue:
Reboot System Now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
and in yellow way below: E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
When I select Apply sdcard:update.zip, I get:
E: Failed to open sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I know that I should get a "choose zip from sdcard" choice in order to restore everything. How can I get to my sdcard and run the retore?
Will my desire ever work again? please help!
Did you make a nandroidbackup before flashing?
Normally you start recobery on thid way:
1.) Power down phone
2.) Press vol- + power-button until the white screen with the three green 'androids' appears
3.) Navigate with volume-buttons to the point "recovery" and enter by pressing power-button
4.) After a while you should be in recovery
In this recovery you should disable the signature verify (in amonra it is "other>toggle signature verify")
and then try to flash again.
Are just try nandroidbackup with toggled signature verify.

I don't think I did a nandroidbackup. When I go to the "recovery" I only have the following options:
Reboot System Now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
You don't have a custom recovery installed that's the android recovery

[Q] Problem with ClockworkMod Recovery

Problem with ClockworkMod Recovery
I was trying to install MIUI ROM but after performing a data wipe I got an
E: unknown volme for path [sd/ext]
Back Menu Button Disabled
Davik Cache wiped
message.
I'm now not able to use any of the options in the first clockwork mod recovery screen even though I can freely move throughout them. Whenever I choose one the background remains but nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm afraid to reboot since I have no ROM installed.
take the battery out, put it back in then power on holding the volume down button then get back in recovery wipe again then flash again

[Q] HTC One V Windroid toolkit

OK, so I installed the toolkit on my laptop, and so far have managed to unlock and root my phone.
Here is the problem.
When I boot to recovery, My phone comes up green, then the red triangle. Volume up and power gives me the Android system recovery (3) and a message on the bottom
E:Cant open /cache/recovery/command. all I can do is reboot the phone.
Ideally what I want is to be able to backup the phone, install a new kernel/rom and be able to restore it if I mess up.
Tried to search for help on the forum, but it didnt do me any good. Is there a newbie guide how to do this?
Thanks in advance
Larry

you have to flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP
I have downloaded the CW ROM manager and installed rom manager v5.5.3.2 current recovery 5.x.x.x latest recovery 5.8.4.5. I boot into clockwork recovery mode. get the green circle with the arrow followed by the phone with the red triangle. Press volume up + power and get menu for android system recovery. With the menu
reboot
apply update from external
wipe data
Wipe cache
apply update from cache
bottom has a message E: cant open /cache/recovery/command
So i dont think I have accomplished anything except downloaded a useless app
