Today I did S-OFF with AlphaRev 1.8 on my HTC Desire.
All sems okay but then I would to boot my phone but it just boots into FASTBOOT. And if I press reboot it boots again into FASTBOOT so I cant boot my Desire!
What should I do?
In the FASTBOOT main stand that I have "BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF".
I use CyanogenMod 7 RC1.
Does recovery not work at all or is it just booting in to fastboot?
If recovery works you need to restore a nandroid or reflash your rom.
If recovery doesn't work flash a recovery image via fastboot and then flash a rom.
@TheGhost1233
Thank you very much for your fast help!
I resored my NAND backup and now it works fine again. But what did I made wrong that my phone doesn't work?
I followed the Tutorial from pocketpc (I can't post links because I'm new here). My Desire was rooted with unREVoked before.

Hi everyone. I'm having some problems with my Recovery which I can't seem to figure out:
I tried to mod my phone with CM6.1 the other day using ROM Manager. ROM downloaded and started to install, no problems. When it tried to boot up again, it got stuck in a loop at the CM loading screen. When I tried to reboot in to Clockword Mod Recovery, all I got was a picture of a phone with a triangle (can't remember which colour - think it was green). Eventually I realised that was a stock recovery and managed to get my phone restored to my backup but I can't seem to get my recovery to go to anything but the stock one. Rom Manager reports Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed and I've tried using Rom Manager, Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works - I'm still at the built-in recovery.
Now, If I boot in to recovery, I get the red triangle and a message on screen stating "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".
If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
"Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works" make sure youre trying to flash a .img file
"Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed" that because the recovery (.zip) is saved on the SDCARD. When booting Recovery from ROM Manager, youre fake-flashing the file (.zip)
"If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock." thats fake-flashing
what HBOOT are you on??
EDIT: You should S-OFF your Desire "http://alpharev.nl/".
WARNING: When using S-OFF your flashing a custom HBOOT. If that goes wrong, it may brick your Desire. If you use S-OFF, then you can flash a permanent recovery using fastboot
Thanks Chris. Any idea why it would have reverted though? I used to have a permanent version of ClockworkMod until the other week
Edit: HBOOT just says 0.80.0000 and has 3 androids on skateboards

Go back to stock, download the original ruu for you phone. After that try rooting again.
Rats - had a feeling that may be the answer. Think I'll be able to restore a backup?

I fake-flash all the time. I once messed up a ROM's installation and got stuck because it messed up the recovery too.
The loop startup is probably caused by older cache from your previous ROM. Just boot up recovery again, clear cache and restore factory settings and then flash your CM again. Should do the trick.

Flashed my HBOOT with AlphaRev - those guys are brilliant, coding that!
Thank you for your help!
Bingo!
Think I've nailed it now!
I used Fastboot Commander [v.1.0] to flash Amon-RA which took and stayed!
To confirm: I installed AlphaRev bootloader to S-OFF then Fastboot Commander to flash Amon-RA. Hopefully, I'll now be able to flash Clockwork Recovery again (as I use Rom Manager) and be back up and running!
Think I may skip CM6.1...
hey everyone, i have an sim free desire HD that was rooted and s-off and has been running like that for a while. recently i tried to access clockwork mod to try and flash a new rom but when i did so the recovery does not load. Its just stuck on the htc splash screen, it doesnt even say quietly brilliant. The phone still works but i cannot access recovery. I tried the following procedure in fastboot to re flash the recovery
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recoveryCWM.img
fastboot reboot
after doing this it still has not worked. Any suggestions or a certain fix would be brilliant.
Thanks
You can put the PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade post to your SD card and reboot to bootloader, it will flash you the 1.32 stock ROM and you can start from a clean table.
use an older version of recovery

I had the same problem, with clockwork 3.0.0.6 ... I then flashed 3.0.0.5 (see the bottom of the Rom manager Menu that proposes you to use former recovery roms). I could solve my problem that way.
Hello.
I did s-off on my phone (HTC Desire) with revolutionary and I used fastboot to install revolutionary recovery.
Now, when I try install clockworkmod recovery, revolutionary overrides it.
Do I should follow this thread or what?
Use the faq and irc channel of revolutionary.
SwiftKeyed from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Why would you rather use the "out dated" clockwork recovery?
The revolutionary recovery IS clockworkmod, It had just been re-skinned effectivly and is a newer version.
Having S-Off'd a friends phone and finding that he got the revolutionary CWM mod and I didn't have that on my S-Off Desire I ran the new AlphaRevX on my own phone. It asked if I was mad since it detected S-Off and asked if I wanted to flash the new CWM. Damned right I did!
So it installed its recovery even though you were already s off?
Does anyone have an img file of their recovery?
To the op:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

Hello!
I orginally rooted my HTC Desire 2.3 with revolutionary. I run the orginal Desire RUU RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684.
But now it seems like the phone is bricked or something. My phone is booting, but it stops on the "HTC startup screen". When trying to access recovery i just get the HTC startup screen to.
Any solution of what to do?
Thanks.
Best regards from
Jonathan Ibsen
okay there are two situations that may have happened to you:
1.The recovery was flashed badly so you can't boot into recovery but it doesn't make the phone to not boot.. but anyway it can be solved by flashing a custom recovery.. I recommend you to choose ClockworkMod.. 100000000 instructions over the net how to do that.. just google : flash the clockworkmod recovery manually
2.the s-off process may have breaked your hboot tables.. so you can't boot.. you can solve it by flashing a custom Hboot table. but you have to be able to boot into fastboot.. it can be down by holding down the vol down key alongside the power button.. so the phone will boot into Fastboot USB.. so connect your usb then download a custom HBoot table from Alpharev.nl and flash it by using fastboot console.. : the command : "fastboot flash hboot xxxx.img" while replacing the xxxx with your image name...
Thanks for the help. I tried both, now i have clockworkmod installed again. But my phone is still not able to boot, i tried to use a nandroid backup, and also tried to install some roms. But the phone dont go longer than to the HTC boot screen.
If USB briked try using AndroidFlasher1.8.0 to fix (click File and then USB brick fix) and boot in fastboot mode (back+power) to install recovery image

USB brick is not the problem..
First of all, you should use the latest htc ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
Now to your problem: You s-offed your phone with revolutionary. So your hboot version get updated. As far as I know, to a version which is protected against overwriting by ruu. You need to flash hboot downgrader in fastboot from alpharev site first:
http://alpharev.nl - don't forget to check md5sum.
If you need a guide for fastboot, see my sig.
After you flashed hboot downgrader, you can flash ruu. The same problem was discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224670
then install official ru and start the s-off from scratch. after that install recovery with android flasher and install a custom rooted rom and youll be fine
Thanks, it worked! Great to have you guys.
Hi,
I'm not content with the performance of KitKat ROMs on the desire and wanted to try an older Gingerbread ROM. I wanted to try MildWild 5 or Oxygen 2.3.2 but I'm having problems.
I was on HBoot Alpharev Jelly (250/5/182) and was running TWRP 2.7.1.0. I tried to flash the HBoot oxygen r2 alpharev, which worked fine, but then I couldn't boot into TWRP any more I just get stuck at the TWRP boot logo.
I guessed it was maybe due to system partition being too small for twrp (?) and flashed cm7r2 hboot, but that didn't help, still stuck at TWRP boot screen. After that I tried to flash 4ext v1.0.0.5 RC9 recovery, but this one boots without showing me any buttons (really strange). I can drag down the "Welcome to 4EXT Recovery Touch by madmaxx82 (...etc)"-screen so this recovery seems to work a little bit?! Useless without any buttons tho.
I'm really confused and don't want to continue as I'm apparently not as certain about what I'm doing as I thought I was.
Do I need CWM Recovery for gingerbread ROMs? Are TWRP and 4EXT not working because system partition is too small? (as I said above, I'm atm on Bravo CM7 r2 (145/5/287) from http://alpharev.nl/
What do I need to do to get older ROMs working?
Recovery is installed to a separate partition, not the /system partition so that's not the problem.
TWRP or 4EXT should work fine for installation of any ROM. I personally used 4EXT for older GB ROMs no issue.
All I can suggest is to redownload the 4EXT recovery.img, check the md5sum and flash using fastboot
As a last resort, backup everything (apps/contacts/SMS etc), and flash the 2.3.3 RUU to go completely stock (+stock recovery)
Then S-OFF and flash 4EXT again.
I'm very puzzled at the moment.
I thought running the 2.3.3 RUU won't get you back to S-On as alpharev hboots are protected? I also don't quite see the reason for going S-On again.
I tried flashing TWRP 2710, TWRP 2630 and 4EXT v1.0.0.5 RC9 using either fastboot or PB99IMG-method. I get no errors while flashing, but the recoveries don't work properly. TWRP always gets stuck at its boot screen and 4ext boots, but then doesn't show me any buttons. I checked the MD5 of the images before flashing every time.
My bootloader atm shows me:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-OFF
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23

I was on TWRP 2710 when I changed my hboot from alpharev jelly to alpharev oxygen r2 (or now alpharev cm7 r2). This recovery has a bug which deletes the tmp directory all the time (you can't flash from this recovery unless you run "mkdir tmp" in a terminal). Could this be the reason why the recoveries now are not working any more?
I think I'll try to flash alpharev jelly and restore a nandroid (to see if a recovery would work then) before running a RUU.
Flashed alpharev jelly hboot and the recovery is working again (atm twrp 2630)
So how do I do this properly without running into the same problem again?
Simply wipe everything except for the SD card of course and then flash your new hboot.

It works now.
What I did: Flash 4EXT recovery on alpharev jelly, flash manwild from recovery, wipe everything except sdcard, flash alpharev cm7r2, flash Manwild
No idea what went wrong in the first place, but everything works now and the ROM is great!
Thanks!
