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.

CDMA Desire: What version of Clockworkmod recovery

Hi all,
I'm sort of new to this. I've been using clockworkmod recover for a while now. Mostly to back up and restore. I want to try to load the stable CM7 rom or maybe some other rom that supports A2sd+ but I saw that at least CM7 recommends a newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery.
Right now I have 2.5.0.9. It's also the one that shows up in Rom Manager.
But I've seen here and other forums that people are now unto 3.0.0.5 and even beyond (I saw 3.0.2.4 on the CM forum)
So my question is what is the latest version of ClorkworkMod for the CDMA desire and how do I get it?
I saw an article on addictivetips.com that suggested renaming the new version to the name of the old one (2.5.0.9) and placing in in the Rom Manager folder on the SD and then flashing from Rom Manager thus fulling it into flashing a newer version.
Some, forums have guides on how to do that using adb and yet others have it as a zip file that can be flashed from the hboot.
Whats the best and I guest simplest way to get the new version.

Did you actually run into trouble with your current CWM trying to setup CM7?
The wiki states no problem using the version you currently have - 2.5.0.9.
If you do want to upgrade, you should follow this post.

Yep. thats exactly the forum I was referring to when I mentioned 3.0.2.4
Although I was not able to flash it using the PB99IMG.zip. Probably should ask there about that.
I did flash CM7 but,
here is what's weird: I tried the method where you fool the rom manager into flashing a newer recover outlined here.
Got the 3.0.2.4, but then when I went back into the Rom manager and hit reboot into recovery, it boots me into 2.5.0.9.
If I just press the power button, select reboot, and reboot into recovery I get 3.0.2.4. It's like I have two recovery images loaded.
I wiped the phone restored my nandroid backup of the stock rom I get 2.5.09.
Wipe again, as always everything data, cache, and dalvik. Load CM7 again. And the same thing two recoveries depending on how I reboot into it.

P.S.
1. Happy Passover, חג שמח.
2. forgot to say: if I power down and boot into Hboot with vol down + power and then go into recovery I get into 3.0.2.4

Do you happen to have your phone S-OFF?
If so, a simple solution might be to flash the 3.0.2.4 recovery .img file using "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" @ hboot.
But you shouldn't S-OFF just for this as I'm not sure it'll actually resolve what you're experiencing.
It's a pretty odd situation and I think I better not give you advice which could potentially worsen it.
I'd seek help in the thread linked in the CM forums or hope that someone else might notice this post.
חג שמח! =)

This is assuming you have the Android SDK all set up on your computer (if not, read through the wiki).
Boot into the bootloader, type "fastboot devices". If you see your device listed - continue flashing by typing "fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img"

Where should I put the img file? just to the root of the SD card?

You should have the recovery .img file on your pc when flashing via fastboot

Problem with fastboot
Hi. I have padfone2. I have rooted it and all was fine. i removed some stock apps and before installing recovery and backing up the phone i did factory reset. Now the phone shows asus logo then shows android logo with progress bar and few seconds later it reboots and does it again and again. I want to flash a custom rom so i started the phone in fastboot with power/volume buttons. All the screen shows is "Fastboot!!!" at the top of the screen and asus logo somewhere in the middle. I flashed suggested twrp with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from the cmd and it looked ok. When I rebooted the phone it went straight into the loop again. When I start it in fastboot mode there is no menu or anything else to start the recovery. What do I need to do to open it. Please help. Thanks.

This is the one V forum so I don't know what you can flash, but when your phone restarts (boot loop) you must have flashed a wrong kernel. To reboot into recovery connect the pad to the pc and type in cmd "adb reboot recovery" then just flash the right kernel, you have to find that on your own, check the thread of the rom you are trying to use

[Q] Ruined my Recovery Mode?

Hi everyone.
I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
However, I have trouble trying to get into the Clockwork Recovery Mode. Every time I try I just get a message saying that this is a special distribution and some other legal stuff. I can't get into recovery mode.
Anyone else have this problem and fix it? If so, how so? I would like to install some custom ROMs.

Have u flashed the recovery in fastboot?. The screen with red letters is normal.it shows u have installed custom firmware on ur phone.

I believe I have. I have also done it via the Clockwork Mod app.
How would I go about making backups and installing custom roms?

For that u have to flash custom recovery. Flash it again...
Download appropriate recovery.img for ur phone. place it in fastboot folder.rename it recovery.img.go into fastboot n connect phone 2 pc.it should say fastboot USB. Now use command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img while in fastboot( not in boatloader screen).

I think I did that. But I will try again

Did it twice, unfortunately all I get is the disclaimer instead of the Clockword Mod recovery options. I can't even do a factory reset.

Here is what I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635520
Still doesn't work.

If you flashed the clockworkmod recovery.img via fastboot and it says successful it should be on there. The HTC disclaimer boot screen is normal. You must boot into the bootloader and select recovery to get into clockworkmod.

The only recovery I can get working is Team Win. I Unfortunately after I install a rom it either freezes at the disclaimer or the rom reboots the system. The I can't even restore the stock recovery.
Any advice?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

TWRP is more convenient than clockworkmod for this particular phone in my opinion. When flashing rom don't forget you have to flash boot.img (kernel) from the rom (usually extracted from the zip). If your having problems with roms you may have to RUU back to stock.

HTC Desire HD unlocked / S-ON cant flash

Thank you for replying, can you just explain how? and what is the latest valid rom that I can get to my Desire HD?
Thank you again

You have to extract the boot.img from the zip you are trying to flash inside the folder you have fastboot.Then you give the command fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash the new kernel.
You could also install 4EXT recovery and use smartflash as long as you are s-on.

Thanx a million for all.. I will try to do that today and will forward the results.
Thanx again

ONE QUESTION:
shall I connect the devise at the buginning or after flashinf the boot comand? and in what status the devise should be connected (fastboot or recovery)?
Another thing: as Im running windows, my PC is recognizing the device imidietly, so do I still hav to install any drive from htcdev ? and what drive is that ?
Sorry for that but as I said before, Im a little noob in this..
Thanx in advance..

OK, here are the results:
did the tutorial to the letter as in the link, everything went well till the end, after that I restarted the devise and simply it goes to recovery?
now everytime I restart the devise it goes to recovery automatically?

I told you to install 4ext if you like!
4ext is a recovery with the ability either you are S-ON or S-OFF user can flash for you any kernel you like with smart flash.
What you probably did was to flash this recovery as kernel for your device.If you want to install this recovery you have to install it to recovery partition using fastboot flash recovery {your recovery.img}.
If you want to make your rom working again you have to extract the boot.img file from the zip you was trying to install using recovery and you flash it manually using fastboot flash boot boot.img or you could use 4ext to flash it with smartflash but it would be better if you installed it first to the recovery partition (If you use 4ext now you probably have to make a full flash of your rom except if you find only the kernel in a zip or you have an older nandroid backup with the right kernel to restore).
** You have to enable smartflash only if you are S-ON.If you S-OFF your device you should disable this feature. **

Just extract the boot.img of the rom zip you was trying to install in the folder you have the fastboot and then install it using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img while you are in bootloader.
Don't be confused with 4ext.This is just a recovery like cwm.
