Hi there,
I have the same issue.
Am running the carrier ROM (Telstra - Australia), on a HTC Desire GSM. I rooted it using unrevoked 3, and the phone is working fine, except for the Clockwork Mod recovery.
When I boot into recovery mode, I'm not able to load custom roms or make nandroid backups. It just gives errors about not being able to mount CACHE or MISC partitions.
I tried updating clockwork to 3.0.0.5, but that failed to resolve it, as did another go with unrevoked. I can't even do factory wipes! Cache wipe was also ineffective.
Is there possibly a problem with the /recovery partition? Any way to correct it? I don't have s-off, as alpharev fails with some error about expecting unary operators. Otherwise I'd try pushing a new recovery image through with fastboot.
I've checked every thread where this is mentioned, no resolutions yet that don't involve using fastboot. Some help would be nice.

Do you have a pvt4-desire? If, you have to flash amonra-recovery, because cwm is incompatible with pvt4-desires.
or CWM 2.5.1.8 will work in addition to AmonRa. I've used both with my PVT-4.
and flash your recovery from fastboot, not by using unrevoked, it's just easier.

Already did change the sdcard sir.
On another note, whenever i tried remounting the /system for RW access to copy flash_image, free space drops to Zero Kb. To isolate, i tried remounting to just Read access, free space remained the same. Anything I'm missing here, or do I really have to S-OFF my phone before I can make changes on my /system ?
Thank you very much.

For this part I think you need to disable signature verification in recovery.

Hi all,
Im having a little trouble with my dhd. It won't boot up !
I can get into HBOOT, but thats it. (ie. no recovery CWM)
When trying to boot normally it hangs at spash screen.
so far i have tried:
- fastboot flashing (system.img dosn't flash (for known reasons))
- this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890) (tried with 2 different RUUs)
everything seemed to go according to plan, but still exactly the same problem.
- I've even tried flashing back the stock spash screen via fastboot in preperation to send it back to tmobile/htc to fix BUT, despite fastboot telling me flashing was succsessful, i still have my custom splash!
- pulling my hair out!
ive got eng hboot s-off radio s-off supercid and stuff??

Which cw recovery is installed?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
First question, what did you do immediately before you turned you DHD off, hence the reboot?
From the bootloader can you enter fastboot? You should be able to flash recovery from there. You mention "for known reasons" what are these?
Hi pwraggcan,
I'm not too sure? and I'm not sure how I can check either, as I can only enter hboot/fastboot.
AndyHarney,
As far as I can remember I was using my phone as normal. (no risky installs/flashes to speak of). Then overnight it ran out of battery, and now won't boot up .. ?
fastboot flash system system.img returns:

So you have recovery, and you're rooted, well I'd say install a ROM as ROMS flash system, boot and cache img files. Sending a 410mb file ofver adb seems a bit risky. Also, if you have no ROMs on the SD Card go into recovery, mounts and storage and at the bottom is usb or something.
MrYuiM,
I don't mean to act the fool, but I don't fully understand you're post.
"well I'd say install a ROM as ROMS flash system, boot and cache img files"
not sure how I can go about doing this? using fastboot?
"Also, if you have no ROMs on the SD Card go into recovery"
which ROMs do you mean? I have on my sdcard "LeeDrOiD_HD_V1.5.1.zip" and others. I also have some nandroid backups.
Currently, I have not found a way to enter recovery..
P.S I apologize for spewing my ignorance all over this thread.
Get PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade guide, put it into your SD card and go to the bootloader. Then tell us what what happens.
By the way, you still have fully warranty despite the fact that your device has S-OFF. There is nothing about software mods in warranty terms. For example mike1986 sent his phone to HTC's service center, it was S-OFF and it even had a custom ROM in it, and they did not complain.

When I asked HTC they were pretty stern on the fact that rooting voids their warranty despite it not being in the guidelines :/

To enter recovery turn your phone off completely and plug it into the charger, recovery will auto open. Also, everyone starts off somewhere.
But go with jkoljo first as he is more experienced
Hi jkoljo,
Downloading now,
It's also a big relief to hear that software modding dosn't effect warrenty *phew*

Good luck mate, report back on how it goes
Might be futile but you could try a different recovery. If you're s off it should work. Try a 2.x.x.x then a 3.x.x.x. flashing from fastboot, it could be that. If the pd98img doesn't work then it might be a faulty motherboard and htc will have to fix it.

I tried jkoljo advice, but still no dice! ... (hey that rhymes!)
One thing I noticed as it was checking SD card: -
SD Checking...
Loading...[PD98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PD98DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PD98IMG.zip]
are those errors normal?!
just to clarify, after jkoljo's PD98IMG.zip update, I reboot and it hangs at my custom spash screen, just as before.
It's as if I hadn't tried to update/recover at all!
Anyways, Thankyou all for your help, assistance and advice.
I have to go out now, but ill be back tomorrow to try again.
It seems that you have to format your SD card. Do a full format to FAT32 (no quick format), and try it again.
Ok, formatted and tried again.
But same results as my last post.
I even tried with 2 SD's (4gb + 8gb).
Does this mean my phone is not recoverable..?
....I hope not..

Could you recommend one?
The only one I've ever known is CWM.
Also I don't have much faith in fastboot right now.
When I flashed my stock splash, it said 'OK' but never changed!
Thanks pwraggcan
Try flashing a different recovery while in fastboot.. Try the stock one first and if you can boot into recovery wipe data/factory reset.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
recovery zip attached. good luck.
Thanks for the suggestion pwraggcan,
I tried that recovery.. and it flashed 'OK' but still no change from my previous attempts.
Soo... Shall I call this a write-off and let HTC deal with it..
Or are there any last ditch solutions I could be trying.
Jason9
As a last resort try the attached recovery. If this recovery doesn't work it's gotta be a hardware issue. I'm thinking if you backed up with a 2 series cw recovery then updated the recovery with rom manager to a 3 series cw recovery it won't let restore the backup. So, try the attached and fingers crossed, you're up and running. Probably won't sort it but definitely worth a try.
Hello Everyone
I tried something stupid and now my Desire doesn't boot anymore. I have made a Nandroid backup, but I am unable to restore with my device, because I don't seem to have the ClockworkMod Recovery
I can go to the screen with the 3 skateboarding androids, but when I choose recovery, It goes to "Android system recovery <2e>". There doesnt seem to be an option to restore Nandroid backups there.
What's the easiest way to restore my backup? I can access my SD-card on my PC.
Or maybe it is easier just to install a random fresh ROM and from there restore my nandroid backup? (but I don't know how to do that from the recovery screens I have access to)
PS: I already tried some things on I found on google, I tried restoring using fastboot method, but get this message:
c:\Android>fastboot flash system system.img
sending 'system' (232637 KB)... FAILED (remote: data length is too large)
Please help, Thanks!
Edit: Tried to manually 'install' ClockWorkMod Image 2.5.0.7 with fastboot... I get the following error:
c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img

You need to be s-off to be able to use those fastboot commands. Have you tried reflashing a custom recovery with unrevoked? Otherwise you probably need to use a Ruu and root again.

Hi, Thanks
you're right, I do have S-On
I also have H-boot 0.75
(Radio-5.11.05.27 just to be complete)
What do I need to do first? Remember that I am stuck on the HBoot screen (3 skateboarding androids).
Can I get S-off from here and flash ClockworkMod Recovery? Or do I need to flash a RUU Rom first?
Also do I need to update HBoot to 0.80?
And are 'HBoot drivers' the same as the 'Fastboot/ADB drivers' ?
Need more help please. Most tutorials start with a working phone
Thanks!
Need some help guys please, Everything I try doesn't seem to work.
I figured out my phone is stuck in HBOOT with USB debugging disabled. Because Unrevoked doens't recognize my phone. Next step was to try and install a RUU. But the version I needed is corrupt. (I think) I downloaded twice and it just doens't work, I get an error even before the program loads.
I downloaded from RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed here: http : / / shipped-roms . com/shipped/Bravo/
Should I maybe try another RUU? Maybe 2.29.405.5 ? Or is that not safe?
Grtz!
Solved,
xda forum member EddyOS pointed me to this RUU http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH

So i currently have ROM Manager v4.0.0.1 (but i havent flashed CWM yet) and ofc S-OFF and rooted, and HBOOT .85 and Stock ROM.
I tried to flash CWM v3.0.2.8 normally but i get this message in FastBoot USB mode
//------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\HTC_Ace\tools>fastboot-windows flash recovery ./recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4286 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
//------------------------------------------------------------------
so i thought i would manually flash it with a terminal.
i then found out that i didnt have flash_image, so i found a download link and put it in my /system/bin/ file, and typed
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
error scanning partitions
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
any solutions?, for the first or second problem?, i just want CWM -
::and side note, can i access the original HTC Bootloader with this installed?
Do you have ENG S-OFF? Regular S-OFF doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to flashing via fastboot.
I think I do!, I used the easy radio software thingy when I rooted, so I presume so.
Sent from my Desire HD
Double check your CID in "System Info" in the bootloader. Does it Read CID: 11111111
there are only 4 options in the bootloader, i cannot see the "system info" option
If you cannot see "System Info" then you don't have ENG S-OFF, Just use THIS tool and you'll have it in no time.
Guys, no one tried to install recovery.img by replacing the same file in the firmware?

yo, so i did internet pass through on my phone and click 'flash ClockworkMod Recovery' in ROM Manager, and it installed v3.0.2.6.
My question is, if my phone didnt have ENG S-OFF the flash recovery that ROM Manager did; wouldnt have worked right? - its written in the last detailed process in the link you provided to me andy.
No with S-off rom manager can flash a recovery, but you can't flash via fastboot.
I'm messing around since 3 days with a non working Desire.
I was trying to root that Vodafone UK Branded Phone with a goldcard, but it somehow did't really work stable.
So I managed it to install a RUU in order to revert it and begin the Process from the beginning on:
1.This was the RUU, and everything went fine: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone_UK_2.33.161.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157522_signed
2.Then I tried to downgrade my HBOOT from 0.93.0001 to 0.80 using the method in this thread (with goldcard!)
3. During the installation of the PB99IMG.zip something went wrong and (maybe a mismatch with goldcard or the mtd0.img, i still don't know / understand) HBOOT could not be updated and RADIO-V2 also
4. now I cant boot the Phone at all or issue adb commands (I think the phone needs to be fully booted and USB-debbug-enabled for this) so I cant follow any of the solutions wich I found in the last two days. A PB99IMG.zip is also not flashable in HBOOT since it just cancels after "Checking..[PB99IMG.zip]" and returns back to the HBOOT screen.
Here's my phones specs:
CID: VODAP102
PVT4
S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
SLCD
RADIO 5.11.05.27
If someone has an idea where to start, any help would be greatly apreciated. If someone is even willing to assist via instant messaging or skype I would be happy to compensate his time with a donation via paypal! Thank you in advance!
EDIT: SOLVED!!!

Sent from Desire Bravo with xda App. Leedroid ROM HD port inside.
Boot the phone into bootloader menu.
connect usb cable.
in command prompt load the SDK folder, instead of typing adb.exe type fastboot.exe.
place the hboot you want into the "platform-tools" folder in the SDK directory - if its in the pb99img.zip then extract the .img file from there and place just that file into the folder.
type "fastboot flash hboot *name-of-file.img*"
if this works then type
type "fastboot reboot-bootloader"
type "fastboot erase cache"
Not sure it will work though as you are S-ON.
However you should be able to flash a recovery through the same way, type "fastboot flash recovery *name.img*". Not sure if this will help fix it, but if you can access recovery then its a start! Obviously you'll need to download a recovery first and place it into the platform-tools folder.

I'm talking to some of the guys from the IRC, so far no solution in sight. Maybe tomorrow there are some ppl online who are familiar with the HTC Bravo GSM...
My rooted HTC Incredible screen has died, but otherwise the phone works (I think). I was running MIUI on it. I used Titanium Backup and the MIUI backup utility, but had not used them for a while, so my most recent setup was not saved. I can access the phone via USB/ADB. Is there any way to pull the currentconfiguration off the phone so that I can "clone" it to a "new" Incredible? If so, suggestions are gratefully accepted.

This will back up all system partitions. use flash_image or fastboot to restore the images.

OK, so I was able to use the commands to back up muy dead phone. I am having a lot of trouble restoring the new rooted/s-off phone with flash_image or fastboot. Can someone recommend a site with step by step set of instructions, write it out here, or a GUI program that will accomplish the same thing?
Thanks,
B

The phone was in "Fastboot USB". I used the instructions at wiki.cyanogenmod...Fastboot. The errors I got were:
c:\mini-adb_inc>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4608 KB)... OKAY [ 1.108s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.123s

The new phone is s-off right? What hboot version is it on? Flashing images remotley (from a pc) with fastboot requires either the .77 engineering hboot or one of the new ones unlocked. I would flash the .77 hboot then restore the images with fastboot then flash back to .92 hboot. You can get the hboots here http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/

OK, so I flashed the .77 hboot and now the phone is stuck at the htc incredible start up screen. Tried removing battery and rebooting, etc. No luck.

If you got the img's to restore with the .77 eng, then you just need to flash back to the .92 hboot and it should boot.

Unfortuately no. I am able to get into recovery and so did a restore.
Then I went back into recovery and delete the cache and Dalvik
Then flashed .77hboot again
Did a Fastboot flash of system, userdata, cache, recovery, but was unable to do "boot.img" FAILED (remote: image update error)
re-flashed back to .92 hboot
rebooted Incredible and frozen again at white HTC Incredible screen.
Any suggestions?

Did you install the .77 hboot or the eng (engineering) .77? You need the eng one, that will allow the fastboot commands. Then flash back to .92 and it should boot right up.

Thats strange. Well im not sure then what to do to get the img's on there. Im not sure why it errors when you flash the img's. I will think on it some more.

It only errors when I try to flash the boot image. I was able to flash the recovery, userdata, and system fine.

Try erasing boot first " fastboot erase boot " and then try flashing the boot.img

Nope. Unfortunately it didn't work. I was able to erase the boot, but when I tried to flash the new boot.img, I still got the same error message. I tried a couple of different copies of the same file that I had stored in different places, but still the same error.
I also opened the MIUI ROM zip file (I am using MIUI) and tried to use the boot.img from there to flash. I was able to flash that boot.img, yet the Incredible still is frozen at the white "htc incredible" screen.
Ah well. Unfortunately, with the amount of time I have spent, I could have started from scratch with the base MIUI ROM and cusomized to where I wanted by now:crying:
Thanks for all your help.
