Hello Genius People!
first of all i would like to thank all members and developers at XDA! MAN, you are doing an AMAZING job...i have played a lot with my HTC Desire HD just because of you guess..keep up the good work..
Now the problem is i have a HTC desire. its froyo (2.2). the problem is i cannot flash clockworkmode recovery (so that i can flash custom ROM).
First, ROM Manager says that the CWM recovery has been downloaded nd yes it asked for the SU permission which i grant. but when i boot it in recovery mode it displays the red exclamation mark. i press volume up and power nd it takes me to "android recovery mode (3e)". obviously 3e does not allow me to flash unsigned CWM zip or any other unsigned zip .
according to the HBOOT screen my set is S-OFF...i try to temproot it with VISIONary+ which works and the permroot also works.
Other method i found was revoked3. it says an error after some time "cant flash recovery...your phone may have a very new ROM"...
a person on the internet said to put a modded "recovery" file in /system/bin...i did that but still it wont let me flash the CWM....plzzzzzzzz guys help me...em in real trouble
i tried a lot of stuff from your website and the internet but nothings works for me :'(
i also tried the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command but it said that cannot flash...something like "write error"
plz plz plz ppl help me...i will love u for the rest of my life (MAN LOVE )
nd plz dnt mind my english
I didn't read all of it but since it says your s-off boot to fastboot then use this command
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
You can also do it through terminal as well if that fails. Just google it.

Try using other version of Unrevoked to flash recovery.
I was receiving the same error with v3.32
With v3.22 it flashed successfully.
You can also flash recovery image with adb under windows:

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.

I think I have killed my phone. I used the unrevoked method to root my phone and thats as far as the customizing went. I tried to remove it and now my phone will show the first evo screen and then go to a triange/exclamation screen! I have tried to load a new RUU, applying a update.zip, using the pc39img flash. and nothing works. Can someone throw me a bone and help me out. Also I tried to recover from a backup, didnt work. and if recovery is selected it goes to the red triangle screen with a E: cant open/cache/recovery message.
Sorry if this is info overload just trying to give info so i avoid goiong down the wrong path.
EVO
You've already went down the wrong path, this is Development, not questions.
but you deleted your recovery img
ok so heres how u should be able to get out of that screen
a. install 3.30.651.1 ruu (only if u cant boot into ur rom )
b. if everythings cool booting into rom and its just recovery follow these directions and it will work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
hope this helps
also if none of that works try downloading recovery img and flash it
good lu
ok so here what u can try
a. try to install 3.30.651.1 ruu (only if u cant boot up)
b. if u can boot up fine then follow this link if u only have a broken recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
and if that still doesent work to downloading the recovery.img and flash it adb
hope this helps
Hi Guys , Need a Little help here ,
well currently ive upgraded to Froyo 2.2 , after couple of bad lucks , ive succeeded in rooting my rom ... now the actual problem is that after following all the procedures , i am not able to flash Clockwork recovery ...ive tried putting ESRIMP.zip in the root of SD card with Update.zip ..but its not reading it in HBOOT ...
please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Please guyz! can some one help ((((((
Have you tried to install CM thru rom manager?
Yup ... ive tired doin so , but no luck , when i go into the recovery mode ..its still the same old Recovery , where i can just flash update.zip ..which is not workin as well
You need the recovery img file and push it through adb.. its easier through terminal emulator but you need s-off for that method
Sent from my fingertips using Android.
I was able to get cwr by putting the update.zip on my sd card and selecting recovery from the hboot menu. once there I just selected 'Apply sdcard:update.zip'.
Once I did that it loaded straight to the cwr menu. I'm still learning all this stuff but I hope that helps
What next?
Hey, all. I'm having a similar problem. I went through the HTCdev process of unlocking my bootloader, and I rooted with SuperOneClick 2.2.. I've installed Clockwork Mod via the market, and tried to flash it, but the bootloader will only access the regular Android recovery screen. When I try to flash via fastboot and/or recovery (and I've tried flashing Clockwork Mod and CM7), I just get an error message.
As is probably obvious, I'm looking for the simplest fix, but any suggestions you can give me are welcome. Thanks!
yes, as stated before you can't flash clockworkmod recovery, or any recovery, without S-OFF on your device. however this is very risky and may brick your phone, so be warned
Hi all it's the first time I post here because it's the first time i need to post here
You are all fantastic guys thanks for all!
Ok I got my HTC Wildfire S Europe unbranded, S-ON, Bootloader unlocked via HTCdev.
I can't install ANY recovery on it.
Here's what i've tried:
- Putting P**.img in sdcard. The sd has been firstly not goldcard and then i have "goldcarded" it.
- Flash the recovery by fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img)
Everytime i try to flash the operation comes successful but, when I try to boot to recovery, it stucks forever on HTC Logo.
What do I make wrong?
I can't install any rom because everyone comes in .zip ...
Root your phone,install Rom manager from the play store and select "Download Clockworkmod Recovery" then "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery"
SOunds like the issue I had, I couldn't install it either, until someone pointed out that I needed a CDMA version of the recovery (CWM).
http://download.clockworkmod.com/rec....8-marvelc.img
Try that. My new issue is that it freezes on CWM< maybe you won't have this issue, let me know.

I didn't know this, I'll try.
Your link does not work, i'll look for that img btw, thanks!
Edit: Understood now that points were to hide the version, maybe
Edit 2: It doesn't work. I've also tried the 9th version but nothing..
http://www.mediafire.com/?11nkszc18zlj2a9
Try that. Install using fast boot if you can't install it in hboot.
It's CWM 4.0X.X (forgot exact numbers)
It worked for me, my phone no longer freezes and I was able to install roms without any issues.
It correctly flashed but when I boot into recovery it stucks as always at HTC Logo.
But why?
I would contact this guy.

I don't remember any 4.0.X.X recovery for the wildfire S... strange.
@OP - Try alquez's CWM recovery.
Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?p2p88udo32m9xcg
Place the zip in the root of your SD Card, reboot into bootloader by pressing Vol + and Power, let it scan..... bla bla bla it will install.
Then enter Recovery and see if that works. That's the only way I see possible. Or try the above recovery.
Good luck!
I have alredy tried alquez's recovery.
I remember that firstly it said "Cid Error" then after i goldcarded my sdcard it said "Main Version is Older" and it didn't install.
BTW the main reason I'd like to flash a recovery is that I'd like to root again the phone after the last update. The only method I've seen is to flash root.zip via cwm because other one-click programs no longer works.
It looks like it's a damned phone...
Hey there. I am trying to get my phone to run cwm. I tried both the touch image and the image that comes with the htc one v toolkit. Fastboot installs it no problems but when I try to go to recovery either by adb command or through the phone direct I get the "This build of HTC is not be distributed" message when I rooted the phone a while back but it just hangs there..
Please help. I really dont like having to hold down the power button for 10+ seconds praying it wont brick.
P.S. I did try to install CWM through the normal way on the play store. I thought it would work cause it detected my phone right and didnt warn me. SU did tell me it was doing something in some .sh file. I uninstalled cwm before trying the fastboot methods.
John
I suggest using the "all-in-one" tool from the Development Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
and then use "boot into recovery"
I finally got it to work by using TWRP. had to find one that specifically said CDMA/Virgin Mobile.
Thanks for your help.

i have said in my clockwork mod threads, NOT TO INSTALL IT via Rom Manager as it wont install properly, you need to flash it manually
