I seem to have an annoying problem. When the phone is connected via USB and is properly on i.e. in the sense launcher and everything, typing 'adb devices' on cmd works fine and I find the device. However when I power down
1. it goes into recovery
2. If I do manage to get into bootloader the PC tries to reinstall the drivers which it fails to do hence 'adb devices' doesn't come up with any results.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Android SDK?
Few quick questions, you have installed ADB drivers(i guess you have else no "devices" would show)? You are running in USB Debugging? I have only known fastboot to work in recovery mode, which guide are you following to flash the radio?
As far as i remember it is all fastboot commands once you have ADB reboot recovery then it's something like fastboot copy radio.img etc,
Check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597
@Xtrema - I have the android sdk and in tools i put the three ADB files in there.
@wbbigdave - I'm pretty sure I have the ADB drivers because I can find it when the phone is fully on and I have HTC sync installed which has the Desire HD come up. I'm using this guide to flash the radio and method 2 since it seems like the method that the Android Rev maker said to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
My main problem is that it won't find my device when I'm in the bootloader :S but finds it when the phone is fully on.
Shall I try Method 1?
Method 1 is the one i use.
Download the radio flash.zip and extract to desktop, extract the radio.img file into the extracted folder. Then double click the 'start here' file. This will then open a command window into which you type the commands.
Phone should be in recovery when you do this.
Thanks alot, I was getting confused. Method 1 seems a lot easier but I was already in fastboot when I wasn't suppose to be
So far it seems to have gone through. How do I make sure I have the correct radio. In the bootloader will it not show the first half the the radio file name?
Settings, About phone, Software information, Baseband version.
Hello! First of all sorry for my explanations but i'm not English. I'm S-off and tried to flash a new recovery through Android Flasher but since I can't acces the recovery anymore ! Please help me I would be grateful
Try it via fastboot.
1.Download the desired recovery .img file from the site.
2. Download android SDK from official site, and run SDK Manager. When it is running, then install the platform-tools (revision 3 ATM), too.
3. Copy the file (.img) you downloaded into the android SDK folder, where fastboot.exe is located.
4. Reboot your phone into fastboot (holding down BACK+POWER keys when the phone is switched off) - it should show FASTBOOT USB.
4a. Make sure you have the USB drivers installed (for me HTC sync is not needed, i used the UNREVOKED USB drivers instead)
5. Fastboot flash. navigate to your android SDK directory in Command Promt (CMD.EXE) then run these commands:
a, fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod2518.img (or whatever is the name of the file)
b, fastboot reboot-bootloader
c, fastboot erase cache
6. You have now the recovery installed.
You don't have to have access to the recovery to flash anything that uses fastboot. For fastboot do what davebugyi said, if you want to use the Android Flasher, just boot into the rom or even better, boot into the bootloader. It works a charm. Fastboot has never worked for me for some weird reason, never have gotten it to work but the Android Flasher works.
Hi there.
As the above title says, what happen if I do so?
I do not have recovery version 2.5.1.3 in my ROM Manager anymore(I have no idea know why). Also do not have 3.0.2.5.
The only recovery I have is 2.5.1.4, 3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.6 and 3.0.2.4. Plus I am unable to flash 2.5.1.4 version(it pops up an error)
Some have no issues, but some have experienced issues when trying to restore cwm backups.
Have a look in the LeeDrOiD 2.2.3 thread a few days ago. I have posted methods to manually flash it via a tool or adb commands. I have also provided dl links as well.

Hi Upintheair
Thanks for the reply. Erm.. do you remember the exact date you post that in LeeDroid's thread? The thread is overloading. I cannot find them. =(
From Index of /cm/recoveries Download recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img
Try one of these 2 tools, instructions are on the threads;
1. Thread: [TOOL][All devices & OS] Fastboot Commander [v.1.1]
Download: Fastboot Commander v1.1
2. Thread: Android Flasher
Download: [UTILITY] Android Flasher(Recovery,splash1,Radio,HBOOT,bootanim)[V1.7.4]
OR
Manually through ADB:
1. Place the image in where fastboot.exe is located.
2. Connect phone to PC with Bootloader FASTBOOT USB
3. Using commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img", then "fastboot reboot", recovery
3. Using commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img", then "fastboot reboot", recovery

I tried many threads and find no answer to my question.
On my ubuntu I installed adb and can't remember about fastboot.exe whether it was installed by default or I downloaded it. And know I lost it - deleted accidentally.
1.My ques is where can I find it I mean fastboot? I reconfigured my adb back but there is no fastboot.
2. Can I use fastboot-linux from CWM 3.0.2.8 Installer instead?
It flashed cwm perfectly. But I am not shure about flashing radios and stuff.
Thanks for the links to the Leedroid cwm version

Warning: Flashing wrong radios or incorrectly can result in a BRICK !!! Your own risk..........
Edit: I would advise flashing through a battery only powered notebook, don't want a power surge or cut 1/2 way through a flash . Also ensure notebook & phone batteries have near full charge.
Fastboot Commander v1.1 is compatabe with Linux, there is instruction how to install the tool in the Dev's thread. It has everything you need in the zip, and no need for the adb / fastboot commands in CMD.
...............The first result Mr. Google gave me with the search string "download fastboot.exe" Choice of platforms; Windoes, Mac, Linux
Once extracted, just copy the files into your SDK folder where adb.exe is located (maybe tools or platform-tools........)
To make sure fastboot is working ok, boot phone into FASTBOOT, connect to PC & it will change to FASTBOOT USB. Open up CMD and navigate (cd\......) to the folder where adb & fastboot.exe is now located. Now type "fastboot devices", if connected & communicating correctly using Fastboot commands -> HTxxxxxxxxx, giving the device serial number.
If you want to use CMD:
Place image inside SDK folder where fastboot & adb.exe are located.
Rename it to radio.img (unless you like to type the whole name again)
CMD type: " fastboot flash radio radio.img", then
"fastboot reboot"
I am not too sure about Linux PCs, always been Windows until Android.
It is strange that CWM is not available to update TO 3.0.2.6 in ROM MANAGER...
this version is compatible with leedroid. you must to have installed ROM manager ver.4.1.0.0 from the android market..

You'll have to post that question to the ROM Manager Koush.
If you require a CWM Recovery version not listed in ROM Manager, flash through the methods I posted above. Links to Index of /cm/recoveries is there as well as xxxxxxx2.5.1.3-ace.img
OR
CMD: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img"
Thanks UpInTheAir
I'll try it later tonight. Guess I will try to manually flash them.
It is exactly how we flash radio using the radio flash tool but this time change the "radio" to "recovery"?? this time im suppose to use back the same tool right?
I just recalled I read it somewhere last time when I was learning how to flash new radio. x)

If you are referring to the "tool" as in the CMD (Command Prompt)?
If this is what you mean, the answer is Yes & Yes.
Most of the tools, some examples & links I've given, just save you time, not having to use the adb or fastboot commands, cd\ (navigate) to the location of adb.exe or fastboot.exe in the SDK folder etc. These tools can also do a lot more, particularly Fastboot Commander which can be run on Windows or Linux.
I just try it and it says "error: cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img" =(
This is what I do
1) Firstly when i was at the cmd window.. I type "adb reboot bootloader"
2) Then "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img"
and it pops up that error. =/

Ensure Fastboot is OFF & USB debugging ON in phone settings
When in FASTBOOT, does it say FASTBOOT USB when phone is connected?
Did you test Fastboot communication by command "fastboot devices"?
Make sure the recovery image is copied to the SDK folder where fastboot.exe & adb.exe is located.
Make sure the name is exact. You could also rename it to recovery.img , and the change the command to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (NO "quotes")
Edit: I see your signature is ENG S-off?, double check in HBOOT Bootloader. If the above still doesn't work, try the Fastboot Commander Tool, maybe your making a typo somewhere........
1. Ensure Fastboot is OFF & USB debugging ON in phone settings
Erm Im not sure about this, but I thought if we want to do anything such as flashing recovery we need to have Fastboot ON? Just to double confirm first before I do anything. ^^
2. When in FASTBOOT, does it say FASTBOOT USB when phone is connected?
How do I check this? =/
3. Did you test Fastboot communication by command "fastboot devices"?
Same as the above. How do I check this?
4. Make sure the recovery image is copied to the SDK folder where fastboot.exe & adb.exe is located.
Yes. Checked.
5. Make sure the name is exact. You could also rename it to recovery.img , and the change the command to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (NO "quotes")
Tried. Did not work. Same error coming out.
I try flashing other recovery such as 3.0.2.6 but still the same error.

1. Mine works fine with usb debugging on & fastboot off.
2. Power off phone. HOLD volume down (don't release) & press power button once. Phone will boot into HBOOT, you will see FASTBOOT. Connect to pc with usb cable. Wait a few seconds and HBOOT will change to FASTBOOT USB.
3. Use Cmd (command prompt) in Windows. Pc to navigate to the sdk tools or platform tools folder (where fastboot.exe is located). Now type "fastboot devices", if you are communicating in fastboot, you will get HTxxxxxx (device serial number), and can now proceed with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If it doesn't work, you have not setup properly, or typo, I would suggest using fastboot commander tool.

Here are two zip files: Recovery 3.0.2.8 & 2.5.1.3.
3.0.2.8 doesn't show in ROM Manager, but version shows when boot into CWM Recovery, so no worries.
Reference Thread: [RELEASE][25/04/2011] ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.8
I downloaded 3.0.2.8 from the above thread, extracted replaced the 3.0.2.8 image with 2.5.1.3 image (renamed recovery.img), and zipped again to upload.
View attachment Recovery_Ace_v2.5.1.3.zip
View attachment Recovery_Ace_v3.0.2.8.zip
Installation:
1. Power off your DHD
2. Put it in bootloader mode; Power+Vol down and select Fastboot from menu.
3. Plug-in the USB cable. (FASTBOOT USB)
4. Extract xxxx.zip
5. Double click on install-recovery-windows.bat if you're using windows, execute install-recovery-linux.sh if you're on linux or install-recovery-mac.sh if MacOSX.
6. Done! The device will be automatically rebooted.
7. If the version doesn't show in ROM Manager, reboot into recovery to check version actually installed.
I tested the windows commands and worked perfect Linux should too!!
I do recommend you read up a bit yourself on adb & fastboot commands, and if you aren't able to do that, use the flashing tools provided by the various Devs, thanks to them, life is much easier.
Thanks UpInTheAir!
I actually managed to get 2.5.1.3 installed and now I can continue flashing ROMs! Lol.
Erm why wouldnt recovery version show in the ROM Manager? My ROM Manager still shows it is 3.0.0.6 but in the recovery it shows as 2.5.1.3. Thats pretty weird isnt it?
Oops. I am trying to flash ARHD now, but halfway through it "stuck" in recovery and says: /tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
What happen here? Its getting complex. =/

Hi together!
Since this is a topic where people ask regularly, I try to make a little TUT.
I hope it is helpful.
I am a noob myself, so please don't go on me
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong or if I missed some important stuff.
What you need:
1.
SDK Tool (type in your browser: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
Once you are on that page, download the package and install it.
2.
after the install process has finished, you have to install some packages.
Important is the platform-tools package (there you find the most important commands)
3.
Locate the folder on the harddisk of your PC
4.a)
Push the Windows(Start) Buttom and type: cmd
This opens the command prompt
Now get into the root of the android folder (e.g. cd.. until you get into root of your harddisk)
(on my PC, it looks like this:
cd android
cd platform-tools)
4.b)
Just one thing to make it a little easier to come into the right folder:
Open the folder with the fastbootfiles in a window.
Go to command line and type cmd and the cmd.exe will be shown in the menu.
Drag & Drop the cmd.exe into the opened fastboot folder.
When you now open this cmd, it shows the right folder at the start and you can easily type the commands without navigation through folders.
credits go to Neo XL
5.
Your phone has to be in fastboot-USB mode and connected to PC in order to understand the commands
6.
Once you are in platform-tools folder, you can type commands
Most common commands are:
fastboot erase cache (sometimes helps if phone is in HTC bootloop)
fastboot flash boot (name of boot image / e.g. boot_1.2.3.img) (this is, like the name says, to flash a boot image)
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery.img
fastboot oem lock ( to relock your phone, in case you have or want to flash a RUU)
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (to unlock again, if you already got the unlock key from HTCDev)
Flash firmware.zip using following terminal commands:
Please rename first downloaded .zip package to firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
This is almost obsolete, since we have the new Recovery 5.8.3.1 with Mount USB, but it is still good to know
to push ROM to SD card, if you were running superwipe without copying the rom file onto sd
1. You need recovery.img in your fastboot directory
2. Go into bootloader and connect phone
3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
credits to broncogr for finding that adb works if you use fastboot boot command and to Jotha for helping me out!
Or try following:
Copy rom to your adb-directory on PC
Switch OFF phone
Connect phone to PC
Wait until you hear the "USB-Connect"-sound on PC
Go into command window in adb-directory
Type "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"
(where rom.zip is name of rom-file)
pushing is rather slow so it will take a while. Eventually you get an "OK". Then you can go into recovery and flash it.

this link helps fix that
http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/21534/how-to-install-adb-and-fastboot-on-your-windows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
You have to copy the Boot.img into the folder, where fastboot-, adb commands are situated (c:/andoid/platform-tools)
Then Open cmd. Go to platform-tools folder and from there it should work.

You can add the adb and fastboot directory path to the environment path in windows settings. You can then use adb and fastboot outside of the platform tools directory, but still in command prompt of course

3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
In point 3, it is not supposed to boot into recovery. Its for booting your recovery.img (e.g. recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img ) from PC. After this step you will automatically boot into Recovery. From there you can use adb commands.
Did you try "adb devices"?
I tried it myself and it works!

Asking about number 6,since after push rom into sd card using adb command. How long will it takes rom to place in sd card? My adb command just stuck after push rom without inform is it done or not.
And where did the push file goes? Seems I can't find it in CWM. I'm using latest cwm, but no zip file found in my sd card.

Rom should be on root of Sd.
If this is not working, you can try to use the command while phone is powered off. I am not a dev, but I read something like that:
"Switch off your phone, connect to pc, wait until it is detected by windows and use: adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/" thats what Jotha told someone on ARHD Thread.
Try that and tell us if it worked.

Hey everyone,
Alright so I have been trying to root my phone for the past 4 hours. I have unlocked it and flashed a custom recovery using adb. Or at least I thought I did. I tried flashing the clockworks recovery and when I would reboot it into the recovery, I would get an icon of a phone and an exclimation point. I assumed a bricked the phone and freaked out. A minute later the phone rebooted out of recovery and works fine afterwards. So I assume that the problem is the recovery. Something went wrong and I am not sure what.
Here are the steps I followed:
I was fine up until step four when I was trying to flash superuser.
No idea what to do from here.
HTC Unlocked = Bootloader is unlocked?
Not to take away from the OP, but i created a guide for a guy here at work and thought others might benefit from it.
Unlock Bootloader and Root
Unlocking your bootloader will wipe all data from your phone. Meaning you will loose everything make a backup.
Step 1: ADB Installation Instructions. NOTE:You must have ADB installed on your PC even if you use method 2b to unlock the bootloader. You will need adb to install recovery in Step 4.
1. Go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download the sdk.
2. Follow installation instructions found here. Note: This is not a forum for this device DO NOT do anything but the adb installation on your system.
Step 2a: Download software from HTC to allow your bootloader to be unlocked.
1. Go to http://www.htcdev.com/
2. Login to the website. NOTE: Register for an account if you haven’t already. You must provide a valid email address.
3. Select “All Other Supported Models” from the drop down list and click “Begin Unlock Bootloader”
4. Follow online instructions.
1. SuperUser http://androidfiles.org/securekey.ph.../superuser.zip - Copy this file you phone. Special thanks to jmztaylor his link.
2. Recovery of your choice TWRP Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2161702 or CWM Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2161706. Put this file in the ADB Tools folder. NOTE: You must type the name of this file perfectly when using adb to flash it in step 4.
Step 4: Using ADB to install recovery
1. Open command prompt ( shift + right click, then choose “Open command window here”) and type “ADB devices” you should see you phone listed, if you do not start over at Step 1. NOTE: Phone must be plugged in and USB Debugging must be checked in settings.
2. Type “ADB flash recovery recovery.img” without the quotes. NOTE: the red is actually the title of the recovery file that you copied in step 3. If it’s different substitute your files name instead.
3. Once complete type “ABD reboot recovery”.
4. You should at this point backup your device
5. Once you create a backup, Choose install and navigate to the SuperUser file you put on your phone in Step 3.
6. If all goes well you are now rooted. Select reboot system to restart phone.
There is some very good information here but its spread out pretty thin. Guides IMHO are very usefull to fill the gap between devs/powerusers and the newbs.Most people that come here have a hard time with the things we take for granted such as adb commands, or adb its self (most will be setting it up for the first time). I tried my best to put it in a knowledge base that everyone can understand if for some reason you do not understand what i was trying to say please ask. I don't own this phone, just helped a friend root his, but if you need to get ahold of me pm me. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Any help? Just trying to get rid of the bloatware -_-
Did you copy superuser to your phone? And are you sure you are using the correct file location for adb in the command prompt? You must make sure you are and that all files you want to flash are also in the same folder as adb. Please respond if you have superuser on your phone and if you are positive you are using the correct adb folder location for the command prompt. I'm not the best at this however, I read up a lot on it just to root my phone. Took me 4 hours about as well, but that was before the recoverys came out. I suggest trying to flash twrp recovery, it's a bit buggy (for me) but I find it easier to use.

Code:
ADB flash recovery recovery.img
that is your problem to start with its not "ADB flash"
boot your phone into bootloader with usb connected to PC, Phone should read "fastboot"
Go the your adb directory in command prompt.
ex.
Code:
C:\PcUser\Master\Androidsdk\adb\
Make sure all drivers are installed, from CMD prompt window type "fastboot devices" to check your phone is showing.
if you see your device then you can type
fastboot flash recovery [drag your recovery image into cmd window] and hit enter and it should flash
once recovery is flashed you can either "fastboot Reboot" or on the phone use the Vol rockers to navigate to menu and hit bootloader then from there choose recovery
Hi,
I have the same issue about 2 days, I install TWRP Recovery and all it's ok, and flash in fastboot mode with adb like ilostchild tolds You.
It seems that I met the same problem.
My issue is the phone only boot into CMW mode, although I tried to restart it many times. When connect to usb cable, lappy did not recognize the phone so I can use adb command.
Please help me.
I can't make ADB recognize the device, I already installed the SDK the HTC Sync program but the device appears either as "My HTC" or "Android 1.0" and won't appear under "adb devices", any help? I have been googling for 3 days for a solution but I haven't found anything so far.

Try using another computer!!! Install all neded drivers, searxh google and let windows automaticly install some. Connect via fastboot and it should say
Fastboot usb.
Also....dont search for adb devices, just enter commands starting with fastboot like... Fastboot install recovery cwmrecovery.img

I already tried all those things you mentioned, I have been looking for 3 days for a solution for this problem on google without any luck, the device doesn't recognize any command either and I already set up a virtual machine and tried on that machine as well. u_u
Uninstall HTC sync then try adb devices be possitive you are using the correct location for adb. Usb debugging MUST be on as well. Copy paste the commands into the prompt to make sure you are entering them right. Be sure you have the downloaded files in the same folder you are using with adb.

Already tried uninstalling HTC Sync, after that I deleted every trace of it. USB Debugging WAS ON before the phone crashed but I can't activate it now because the phone keeps looping between reboots.
Try to flash it via htc sync. Download the update and rewrite everything!
