[SOLVED] How to flash ClockWork Mod recovery image manually - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I haven't access to market so I installed 'Rom Manager' apk file by HTC Sync and downloaded clockwork recovery image for DHD (recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-ace.img).
How could I flash it manually? In this case do we use Rom Manager to flash clockwork manually too?
Regards

You can flash it directly in rom manager itself. Allready tried this?

yes, you can flash recovery with rom manager or in the old fashioned way, adb and fastboot.

Hmmm, How? any choice of rom manager will try to download clockwork while returns error that can't download. does it try to download from market? also already I have 'recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-ace.img' on SD, just don't know how flash it.

Could you please explain adb and fastboot method in details?
Thanks

Have you done eng S-OFF? If so, search the DHD android developement section for the radio flash tool(i'll search for it and post the link in a few minutes) and download it. Then run the start here.bat(i think this is its name). Copy the cwm .img to the folder of the radio update tool and rename it to recovery.img. then connect your device to your computer with usb debugging on and type "adb reboot bootloader" in the command prompt you opened before. When your device has finished to boot into bootloader, type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Wait till its finished and then type "adb reboot".
Worked fine for me, so it should do the same for you

Oh just flashed a radio using this method few hours ago
Yes I do both ENG S-OFF and radio S-OFF.
I thought recoveries are different form radio so can't flash them in the same way.
Is CWM a radio too?

No, thats why you use "fastboot flash RECOVERY recovery.img"
If you flash it as a radio it could possibly brick your device
The only reason i mentioned the radio flash tool is because it's quite easy to use. Just open a file and yo're good to go

So we could flash everything in adb method using this 'radio flash' package instead use whole of android SDK ?

The drivers from htc sync or android sdk are still needed.
But yes, it's a fully functional fastboot/adb command program.
I use this whenever i need adb or fastboot commands

after doing the s-off exploit no recovery!! :(

ok just got s-off and i just get hung up at the why so serious image iv tried rom manager to reinstall the recovery, unrevoked 3 and droid explorer but it seems i can get into recovery any help is much appreciated
Well it is just all about reflashing the recovery, which has fixed it for several people already, so it should work for you as well.
First of all. Rom manager does not flash a recovery. It puts an update.zip on the sd-card, which when flashed, launches the clockwork mod recovery.
You should be able to just flash the recovery using fastboot with this command:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
To do this you will need the fastboot drivers which you get by installing the android sdk.
You will then just need to find a recovery.img for the desire if you need further help just ask away.

[Q] Can't get into recovery (to make a back up of stock ROM)

---- PLEASE MOVE POST TO WILDFIRE S - Questions section. wrong post sorry!!----
Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this!
I have tried to do research on my problem but can't solve it...
The problem is that i can't get into recovery to backup my stock rom.
Specs: HTC Wildfire S, marvel A510e, S-on, Bootloader unlocked, Rooted, Radio-7.54.39.28M, Andriod 2.3.5, HTC sence: 2.1, ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, Super SU.
I followed the guide: "How to root the Wildfire S with S-ON"on Andriod forums by CafeKampuchia, thumbs up for him It got me this far but, now I want to do the thing for which I rooted my phone in the first place: Installing a costum ROM. Therefore I want to backup my stock ROM.
Installed CWM ROM manager, if use backup current ROM option, the phone reboots and i get the HTC letters on my screen these. After a few sec's they dissapear and my screen goes black and my buttons on the bottom light up. I can touch those but nothing happens besides that it buzzes.... When I it boot the normal way again and use the option 'manage and restore backups' in CMW ROM manager, it shows that there has been made a backup. Not shure if I can trust it though....
When I open in HBOOT (1.09.0099) and push recovery the same thing happens. When I boot the normal way and try to boot into recovery trough CWM ROM manager same thing happens again.
I saw a other topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229&page=2 i tried to flash this recovery to see if a older version might work, but now i have got a problem flashing... See picture: View attachment 1031874. Anyway that is not my main problem, what i really want to make it clear: is to back up my stock ROM.
Many thanks in advantage!
wait for device,you boot your phone to fastboot,and is works
---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------
I think your hboot is very high, you downgrade it to 1.030000 may be works.
Hey pal if I was you I wouldn't use rom manager, I've known it to have issues over both wildfires. Turn off your phone the normal way. Pull out the battery for 10-20 seconds or so, put it back in and hold volume down + power. Once your hboot is finished scanning the sdcard scroll down to recovery and select it with power. You should go into clockwork mod. Then scroll again with the rockers down to backup and hit it you can do as many backups as your sdcard will carry. So do that and you should have one you can trust. Also before you install your new custom rom read the main page throughout to see if it needs set up in any specific way, like with a special sdcard partition or something. And most important don't forger to wipe your cache, dalvik cache and factory reset the Device from clockwork mod recovery ! This will avoid bootloops good luck

Hey, I'm would like to try this but when i searched for a tutorial one said: "In this tutorial, I will show you how to downgrade Any HBOOT and Radio to "around" HBOOT 1.03.001 and Radio 7.48.36.1 or less with S-ON. How amazing is that!

As it says i will downgrade my android aswell, this does not work for me because my main goal is to back up my stock ROM. correct me if i'm wrong.

The other tips are usefull
Try booting to recovery via adb or terminal emulator.In both cases the code is
su
reboot recovery
Sent from my Optimus Me using xda premium
Your bootloader cannot be the issue. Go to here. And try there install recovery options. Also what happens if you cold boot the device with volume up + power?

Cold boot with volume up + power makes my device boot up as usual.

other version of cmw recovery, by following the guide instead of flashing. That gave me the following error.
CID incorret! Update fail! Press <power. to reboot.
ok how did you install your recovery to install super user? did you just use rom manager to do it? as far as i know it only installs a tempoary recovery. which would explain why you are only getting to it through rom manager. ok do you have adb installed onto your pc?
ok take the pg76img.zip attached to this post and put it on the root of your sdcard. then boot into bootloader (not fastboot) and your phone should say it found an update. flash it and it will install clockworkmod to your phone properly. then remove the pg76img.zip from your sdcard and boot back into bootloader, select recovery and with any luck you`ll be sorted. then follow my post above and you`ll be sorted pal

Sorry made a mistake here, i tried to use adb commands while in hboot. When i tried it when the phone was on as usual i could use SU command and the # logo showed up bit than my terminal froze and i couldn't write anything else.
Than i tried it again this time only using the commands as follows:
cd c:\android
adb shell
su
reboot recovery
Difference is that the first time i typed: adb shell su. all together this freezes it up...
Anyhow it sitll doens't work.. i get an empty line in cmd, thats all..View attachment 1033568
But this could be because now a flash of a recovery img doens't work it gives: Waiting for device...

What ROM are you on?
You should flash a repacked version if you are on any rom but Viperx. To fix your bootloop I'll suggest you just look for a repacked version of you're rom, if you can't find one, or there isn't one, I'll do a repack for you. Also you should've typed this in fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Boot to recovery and flashed those modules(it's the kernel file you downloaded).

So you are rooted then, but on stock? If you are, just make a nandroid backup(Rom manager or from cwm). Go look under clockwork on your SD card and browse that zip for a boot.img file. Upload that to dropbox and post the link. I'll do a repack then

So lets see. You are rooted right? Did you unlock your bootloader via htcdev?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.
I'm assuming both of the stuff just mentioned is true. Also you will need to download the htc drivers, which can be found with their software here:
dl4.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/htc_sync_setup_3.2.20.exe
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.
Now if you don't have cwm(clockworkmod) recovery installed here is a link for the file: download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
To flash that file you will need to have the drivers installed as mentioned in above, also you'll need this file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78880032/fastboot.zip
Now extract this file to your main harddrive.
Example C:/fastboot/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is where you should place the file mentioned at number 2. Also we will work from this folder mostly.
After you installed the htcsync software, and did the steps mentioned above we can go further. Don't forget to answer my two questions at the beginning.

Yes you can flash that rom. I still don't know why you would want a ruu. Just boot to recovery(there is an option once inside hboot) and go to backup and restore. Just choose the backup option and wait for it to finish.

If I understand you correctly, you want to to flash the rom but your PC can't see your sdcard. Is that right?
You can flash from whatever firmware you are on. It doesn't matter. But if my statement above is correct , then I would presume you want to install your drivers.
You should try to set your phone to USB mass storage and see if your PC can still not see it.

OK I understand. So you should flash the latest recovery of the link in the previous page a gave you.
How to flash recovery:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
Where xxx is the name of the recovery.
Boot your phone to hboot and then choose recovery. Then you go to 'mounts and storage' option and right at the bottom should be USB mass storage(of something similar)

when im trying to type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Boot loop, no device found error, can't do anything

Hi guys I am a new user to xda-developers and I am a noob still at rooting and flashing. What happened is that I had rooted my htc one x tegra 3 international version a couple of days back as i wanted CM10 Alpha 9. It did work but then I wanted to get the CM 10 Alpha 11 after flashing i don't know what happened now my boot screen is only in the CM 10 loading logo and I accidently deleted clockwork recovery (don't ask me how I am an idiot) and when i connect my usb for fastboot it gives a "no device found" error when i give any command in the command prompt and its like i cannot even do anything on my phone like flash a new recovery through fastboot or flash any rom. I mean my phone is literally not working. Can you guys tell me what to do because I have been through many threads here and none of them have helped me maybe because I am an amateur.
I really want my phone to work and I have been trying for the past 3 days and no luck at all :crying:
Thanks

Make sure you have all the correct drivers installed on your pc.
when you plug your phone in bootloader and then fastboot
it should say fastboot usb on your phone
if you have adb and fastboot it should recognise it then, you can flash recovery
try the command
fastboot getvar cid
and see if it comes back with your cid then you will know its working
failing that you can restore it back to stock using an RUU.
ive added some drivers for you.
put them in a folder on your desktop,
Go to fastboot andif your pc cannot find you a driver automatically , then go to device manager, and look for your device then right click and click update. then browse for driver manually and select the folder on your desktop, worked for me
Do You open the command prompt exactly in the folder where the adb drivers are? Left shift+ right click on the folder where the adb files are. Then "open the command prompt here".
Try to command: "fastboot devices" and look what it says

Hey thank you for the helpful reply much appreciated. The usb driver is fine as it says "My HTC" so thats fine. I relocked my phone through fastboot somehow that worked yay! But its weird the fastboot commands work but not adb is there something wrong i am doing, whenever i type any adb command it comes with "no device found error." Plus when I flashed clockwork recovery through fastboot commands it says its successful but it doesnt go there it goes back to the cm10 boot loop. Im guessing because adb is not working or something it must be because of that.

Yes with fastboot its working i get my HTC device but not with adb. Whats the difference anyway im sorry i am a noob so I dont know but I think its important to have adb working or I can't run any recovery right because with fastboot I can flash a recovery but the recovery won't start.
Adb is just a tool which allows the phone to communicate with the computer. If you have rooted your phone you must have it in your computer. It should be in place where you installed SDK drivers. SDK/platform-tools/.

Okay so I managed to get adb working too. Thanks guys but now i flashed CWM Recovery which works and tried to flash CM10 Alpha 11 but again its stuck in the CM10 loading screen. I guess I should now get my stock RUU and install that because I cannot get any custom rom to boot, am I right? That means relocking the phone and getting the stock recovery image. I need to know which stock recovery image to download is it the 1.29.401.7 or 1.29.401.11? I am pretty much guessing the 1.29.401.11 recovery image. And my stock Radio is 2.1204.135.20 which is the European model because I used to get OTA updates before I started rooting and stuff. And I need to be careful if I am doing the correct installation.

Are you flashing the boot.img first in fast boot then flashing the ROM?
That is what it sounds like

Wow thank you so much! You are a life saver I didn't know something so simple I missed out on and when I had been getting instructions from devs to flash custom roms, they didn't even tell us to even flash boot.img or maybe I was thinking it was not important. Wow thank you so much! CM 10 Alpha 11 is working properly and now I learnt a lesson to flash boot.img.
On a final note, if I want my stock RUU radio back, do I need to get boot,img from anywhere or am I fine. What is boot.img anyways?
Again, Thanks everyone I really appreciate it.

If you use Ruu.exe (Rom Update Utility) then you do not need to flash boot.img. It will return your phone to stock. Put boot.img in as well as stock recovery.

download the latest JB cwm (if you are using JB HBOOT)
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(the file downloads must be named recovery.img)

You need (When 1x is connected to PC and "Fastboot USB" is displayed on 1x:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img has to be the correct filename of your recovery, and the file has to be in the same folder where fastboot.exe is.
Then
Code:
fastboot erase cache
LG, Helmut
@Op, as I can see in your post your are still able to use fastboot usb.
Hopefully you still have the correct InsertCoin rom version.zip?
Attached the ADB Tools.zip, extract and place it somewhere you can find on your desktop (C:\Fastboot\ would be fine)
Extract 'InsertCoin rom version.zip' and take boot.img out.
Place the boot.img into C:\Fastboot\boot.img
Download clockworkmodrecovery.img from >> HERE and place it in that folder as well
In the folder I've placed a shortcut to CMD window, klick on it to open.
Now type the following:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img [Enter]
Fastboot flash recovery 'nameofrecovery.img' [Enter]
Fastboot erase cache [Enter]
Hopefully you are now able to come in CWM recovery, good luck!

You need to unlock your bootloader again then before you can flash recovery/boot

That's why it says not allowed! To use fastboot commands you need to be unlocked...

oh alright. How can i unlock it? and will i lose my data?
Hmm. To have used custom firmware I'm sure you must have done this already.
Anyway. You need to sign up at HTC dev and follow the instructions there. They're quite detailed. After you've done that follow the previous instructions, they were really clear and will work with unlocked boot loader.
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
--You don't lose data, but if there's anything super important on your external SD it's always best practice to backup.
(after you've installed CWM recvoery, do a backup using that. VERY important)
---forgot to mention: You need to pick "all other supported models" (The one x isn't listed, but it works fine).
OK Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it. Ill post back if something goes wrong and again Thanks
But then how was he able to boot insertcoin when his bootloader is relocked?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Haha I have no idea. I can only assume that it he relocked it after messing around.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It could be relocked after he flashed InsertCoin and the rom would still boot.
Only problem he has then is that he can't get into CWM recovery and that's what he's complaining about I think.
