Hi all,
I'm not one to usually post simple questions but I'm a little stuck and I've tried searching both this forum and on Google for days but cannot seem to get an answer.
After the whole Desire GB fiasco, I've decided to take the plunge and root my Desire. I'm running unrevoked3 on Puppy Linux, I am able to run the reflash file, turn on USB Debugging, Charge only and Unknown sources but nothing runs. The program just sits there informing me that it is "waiting for device".
I'm guessing it's a driver issue in Puppy but can anyone shed any light in getting the OS to recognise the phone? (I've also tried searching on the Puppy Linux forums to no avail).
Many thanks for your help and keep up the good work devs.
Unrevoked needs drivers in windows but shouldnt in Linux. So you're on Froyo?

That's what I thought re: drivers and yes I'm running stock 2.2 Froyo. I'm sure it'll be a straightforward fix for someone in the know.
If you mount as disk drive, you can see the drive? What if you re run unrevoked then?
Puppy Linux is your problem, they must have done something to USB when they were trimming things down because I've never been able to get adb working on it...believe me, I tried.
Try with another live-cd.

Thanks mercianary, that's the definitive answer i was looking for.
if you're going to flash a custom ROM anyway, I'd just S-OFF and flash recovery.
Once you've S-OFF'd follow:

[2] Repairing recovery, booting phone:
#METHOD 1#
Method One uses Android Flasher to flash the recovery image.
[STEP1]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2]- Download Android Flasher
[STEP3]- Download the recovery image. Put it in a place you can remember.
[STEP4]- Run android flasher, tick "Recovery", and press "Begin"
[STEP5]- Browse to where you downloaded the recovery image, select it, and press "open"
[STEP6]- repeat [1] from [STEP4] onwards
#METHOD 2#
Method two uses cmd and requires Android SDK to be set up.
[STEP1]- Battery pull. Hold the BACK button and the POWER button to boot into FASTBOOT mode.
[STEP2]- Download the recovery image. Rename it to "recovery.img" for simplicity, and place it in the following directory:
Code:
C:\
[STEP3]- then in cmd type the following commands
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot oem gencheckpt [COLOR="Silver"](this command boots you into recovery, ignore the feedback from cmd)[/COLOR]

Hello evrybody,
Let me explain you the problem
Current configuration: HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT1 (ship s-on)
Baseband/Radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
Rooted with unrEVOked v3
ROM LeeDroid v2.4.1
HBOOT v0.80.0000
I tryed to s-off my phone with AlphaRev v1.8 using VirtualBox v4.0.6 (with usb 2.0 support add-on installed) under Windows 7 Pro x86 with SP1.
For some (unknown to me) reasons it didn't worked for me....
Current situation:
- Impossible to boot the OS - blank htc screen
- In Bootloader menu ("Power"+"Volume down") when trying to enter Clockwork Recovery Mod sometimes phone rebooting 4 times and sometimes it make 7 fast vibrations but anyways dropes me to blank htc screen...
- While I'm in Bootloader and connected through USB to PC, I can see that in Device Manager - Android Phone - Bootloader Interface detected (drivers OK)
Please help me.....
Did you ask on the alpha rev irc channel?
Since your phone is still able to start the bootloader, you should be able to get it back up running using fastboot.
Step1: Download some stuff.
- An image of your favorite recovery tool. I'm using clockworkmod recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&highlight=clockworkmod
You want the .img file.
- The Android SDK. Use Google =)
Step2:
Start the SDK Manager and download the SDK Tools and SDK Platform Tools. You now should have a "fastboot.exe" in the "tools"-folder.
Step3:
Connect your phone via usb, boot up the bootloader, and enter fastboot mode.
Step4:
Open a command line window using shift+right click in the folder where fastboot is. Launch "fastboot.exe devices". This should list your device. If not, Download the USB Driver Package using the SDK Manager and install the fastboot drivers. Windows might start whining about not being able to find the driver, but its definitely there. If fastboot.exe fails to start, you might need to copy it to the platform-tools folder and/or run cmd.exe using administrator privileges.
Step5:
Copy your recovery image to where fastboot.exe is and execute "fastboot.exe flash recovery <yourrecoveryimage>"
Further Steps:
You should now be able to boot into recovery and install roms.
You can also try to flash hboot using fastboot. If this fails, you got a handy $400 mirror to put in your pocket. You've been warned
Download a suitable image from alpharev (i think you want to go with the stock s-off hboot - that one with 250MB system) and flash it using "fastboot.exe flash hboot <hbootimage>" like described above.
Hope that helps.

Hi guys...
i want to install the CM7 hboot on my desire, and i boot my desire in fastboot mode (voldown + power and select fastboot) and then i plug it in the computer
then i have tried to use both android flasher and fastboot commander but both of em can't contact my phone.... fastboot commander cant retrieve device info or anything...
what am i doing wrong?
i have used the alpharev method to S-off...
Root + S-OFF using Revolutionary. Then, boot into HBOOT (remove the battery, re-insert it, hold Volume Down + Power until you get a white screen). The volume rockers will probably do nothing now, as it has to check for a ZIP file first. After about 15 seconds, you should be able to browse in the menu. Select 'Fastboot' with the volume rockers, and press Power. Connect it to your PC, and use the tools you mentioned to flash a custom HBOOT.
After flashing a custom HBOOT, you'll also have to reinstall your ROM! Perhaps you also have to reinstall your recovery, but I'm not sure about that.

Before you start, boot recovery and backup your ROM!
Lets use cmd. You'll need fastboot.exe, for simplicity - put it in your c:\ (if you don't have it, download & unzip my attachment into c:\)
Download the cm7 hboot from alpharev (and check md5!!!!! - also attached md5 checker) and put it in c:\
open cmd (start menu, accessories) and type:
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem gencheckpt [COLOR="Red"](optional: this just boots you into recovery)[/COLOR]
You're more than likely to get a bootloop from your current ROM if you don't re-flash it.

Yeah CMD is pretty easy, specially if you know the right commands etc. if you look at some guides you'll get the hang of it pretty fast (it's pretty simple really), there's also less to go wrong so it's safer (especially when flashing radio :O) since cmd is less prone to crashing than other programs (not that I've had a crash before.. just saying)
and I could've made it simpler.. you're just not a spanktard that doesn't get anything and you actually understand things lol so well done on that
cm7/r2
Hi, I would like to have in my desire cm7/r2 but I have a problem instal it.

PHONE: ROOTED HTC DESIRE GSM S-OFF'D Running cm7
Used ROM manager to update Clockwork Recovery in anticipation of installing the newest CM7 which came out yesterday.
Now i can't reboot into recovery just sticks on the splash screen even when i try and access it through FASTBOOT or by turning on holding down BACK + POWER
There is an article here:

I just need a little help understanding these, particularly option 1
"Solution 1. - Fastboot
Prerequisites:
Dream/G1 devices with DangerSPL, all other devices (MT3G 32A/32B) with an engineering SPL (S-OFF in HBOOT mode).
Users with SDK tools set up.

Reboot to bootloader holding Back+Power or Vol.down+Power or whatever combination applies to your device.
Attach your device to a USB port and open up a Terminal/Command prompt of choice
Navigate to the folder where your recovery image is, then flash it like so:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_of_choice.img

Sorry for being basic.
Theres a fastboot faq linked in my signature. Tells you all you need to know.
Another thing, NEVER follow instructions for other phones. EVER
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks RootSU, looks useful. What is it that i actually need to do though? Do i need to reflash something that i did during the root process or just set up adb in order to try and access recovery that way?
Really appreciate your help here.
Thanks
Ben
Forget adb, its something totally different.
Just set up your PC to work with fastboot as per the FAQ.
Download the recovery you want to flash (Ensure it is a desire version)
Boot into fastboot on the phone (Back and power from off)
Then use the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryfile.img
Its all in the faq.
Managed to get it up and running, downloaded clockwork recovery then followed the instructions here:

I have a Tmobile G2 rooted running Gingervillian (gingerbread 2.3.1) and I tried to install the Desire z hboot to get the Sense ui.
I followed the steps here, "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg"
HERES THE PROCEDURE OF WHAT I DID:
After updating the PC10IMG.zip (Desire Z hboot) folder to the root of my G2, I was stuck on the HTC logo screen after updating. So I followed what the guy said in the video, deleted the PC10IMG file in my SD card then rebooted my phone.
After rebooting my phone, I was booted back same rom. So I flash/recovery my phone through Rom Manager and tried rebooting my phone to clockwork mod recovery mode.
After rebooting, I didn't go to Clockwork Mod but to FASTBOOT screen? I select "bootloader" and it goes to a quick load that says something like "SD loading, no image or wrong image". I select "Recovery" then it goes to the HTC logo for a split second then I'm back to FASTBOOT screen again.
This is the info on the fasboot screen? don't know if that'll help:
Vision pvt eng S-off
Hboot-0.84.2000 (pc1010000)
Microp-0425
Radio-26.02.15_m2
eMMC-boot
Sep 8 2010, 15:65:38
So now, I don't know what to do and my questions are:
1.) Is there a way to go back to the G2 hboot?
2. Can I still fix this and procedure on and install new roms on recovery clockwork mode, using Desire Z hboot? (as the video did)
Please help a brother out I'm still a noob and still learning. If this is in the wrong place, please move it to the correct place.
Anyone? if it seems confusing, please ask questions or if I need to provide more information. I really need help with this. Any suggestions will help.

would any PP99IMG.zip file work? And do I basically put it in the SD's root and put it into the boot menu to update the file?

by the way, is this compatible with G2s?
don´t put the pp99img.zip on your sd !
do something different:

be sure to remove any pc10img.zip or so from your sdcard. then put your phone in fastboot mode (power & tp-wake) connect it to pc and flash the recovery through fastboot by typing: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after that you should be able to enter recovery. be sure to wipe before installing a new rom...

Yes, you can run adb on a Mac. See the link to my adb guide in my signature (assuming you're not viewing from the XDA app, which doesn't show the full sig).
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
Okay, just to make it clear (I am a "step by step" guy when it comes to technical computer/phone stuff.), from my understanding:
1. Download the recovery.img (3.0.2.4 for vision) and put it in the root of my SD card.
2. Delete any pc10img.zip files from SD card.
3. Turn phone off and then turn phone onto FASTBOOT mode by holding power/volume down/camera or power and tp-wake? (Btw what's tp-wake? and during this process, is the phone in fastboot screen mode while I'm about to type the "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"?
4. Connect to computer, open up terminal (Mac) and do the ADB process and type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
5. Wipe clean and install new rom in recovery mode? (Clockwork Mod recovery mode?)
PLEASE correct my steps or add in any steps that I'm missing. I bought my phone rooted so I never went through these steps before. Anyways please correct me, I don't want to ruin my phone anymore than it is already.
anyone can review my steps?
good morning
ad step 1: don´t put it onto your sd; put it into the adb tool folder on your pc !
ad step 3: tp-wake = the square button at the bottom of your phone (the one that acts like a mouse); to enter fastboot mode press power & tp-wake
...the phone should be in fastboot mode while typing the command.
before you type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" type "fastboot devices" and look if your phone shows up... if so go ahead with flashig the recovery (by the way, you may have to rename the recovery file)
step 4 and 5 look fine...
good luck
okay, I will try it in a little bit here.
In FASTBOOT USB mode, it wont recognize my device but when my device is fully on, adb works.
I get when I type "flashboot devices" (while the phone is on FASTBOOT) in terminal and get:
"-bash: fastboot: command not found"
By the way, I renamed the downloaded flash to "recovery.img" and put that file in the "platform-tools". Don't know if that'll work.
The "fastboot" command should be on your PC in the same folder as the "adb" command. Where did you get adb from, did you install the SDK and platform tools, or something cut-down ?
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
hm... that means that you do not have fastboot installed. maybe google for fastboot on mac, because i have a linux system... so i can´t help you in that point.
other thing you could do is following this guide (it´s a pc10img.zip with dz hboot and clockwork recovery):
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
but first i would try the fastboot method - it´s safer.
Okay, I got the fastboot devices to read my phone. But it cannot load my recovery.img?
This is what got when I typed in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" :
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
rename it to recovery and try again...

You can root your phone by using the HTC super tool, just google for it.
I assume you have stock recovery on your phone, then you actually can't really use that recovery. You should try to root it with supertool
and then install CWM with ROM Manager
I hope this came in handy for you!

i tried the supertool but it doesn't work. i tried everything even the clockworkmode recovery, the flashing of cwm works perfectly fine but the recovery mode doesn't show up so that i can install from sd card. only a black screen with key lighted comes up. i tried the things given in the black screen recovery article of xda .. but nothing seems to help. could you help me out to see through this. my moms htc wildfire s which is one year old works perfectly fine but the problem is with my new one.. i also heard that lot of people are experiencing the same.
After unlocking, you have to root the device first then install CWM and take a nandroid backup thru Recovery option.
For rooting you can also use root.zip method. just google it.
To flash CWM, goto Hboot menu and select fastboot, then goto cmd (command prompt) on pc try using fastboot commands to flash boot.img, system.img and recovery.img.
Hope this may be useful.....

Maybe you need to downgrade your stock ROM (if you still can boot it up so to say).
Look for a RUU for WFS and try to downgrade/upgrade HBOOT and such to an older/newer version.
Sorry that I can't post any links too RUUs, I'm on my phone.
But there is a tread with these in the Dev section I think, but if they don't work you can just google for them.
tbh I have a similar problem with my bro's WFS, I can't even unlock it because of wrong versions a such so I think your problem could be related to this.

I think you you've chosen the wrong cwm. Chose the right one here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
download PG76IMG.zip and you need to install it using fastboot, it will not work using the zip file from your sd card. Make sure you delete that file before attempting what is below (adapted from CafeKampuchia's guide on rooting).
You will need SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync installed on your Windows computer. Install the SDK tools in a directory named something like c:\android. Put the recovery image in this directory, too, not the zip file.
Boot the phone into HBOOT by turning the phone off, removing the battery, replacing the battery then holding down the power key and volume button. After it scans for PG7610.zip, select FASTBOOT and press the power button then connect the USB cable. The word FASTBOOT will change into FASTBOOT USB. If not, then either your USB drivers for the Wildfire S or Android SDK Tools is not installed properly.
Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to c:\android
Type the following command: fastboot flash recovery [image name.img]. For example:
c:\android\>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Hope this will install ClockworkMod recovery properly. (If really press 'thank').

i dont think that would work i've tried every recovery i've found here and still black screen you may want to downgrade your kernel after unlock of bootloader then use superoneclick. if not working look for my post before which uses taco root to root the device

download PG76IMG.zip and you need to install it using fastboot, it will not work using the zip file from your sd card. Make sure you delete that file before attempting what is below (adapted from CafeKampuchia's guide on rooting).
You will need SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync installed on your Windows computer. Install the SDK tools in a directory named something like c:\android. Put the recovery image in this directory, too, not the zip file.
Boot the phone into HBOOT by turning the phone off, removing the battery, replacing the battery then holding down the power key and volume button. After it scans for PG7610.zip, select FASTBOOT and press the power button then connect the USB cable. The word FASTBOOT will change into FASTBOOT USB. If not, then either your USB drivers for the Wildfire S or Android SDK Tools is not installed properly.
Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to c:\android
Type the following command: fastboot flash recovery [image name.img]. For example:
c:\android\>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
