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

Ever since I updated to the last OTA I have lost clockworks recovery image. Thus now I am unable to install the latest froyo rom.
I have tried to install the latest clockworks recovery image and Amon_Ra recovery through Rom Manager. Each time it states it is installed but everytime I try to boot up to the recovery image it gives me the following error:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
and it just gives me the Android System Recover <2e>
Any help would be appreciated....
It sounds like you are not rooted.
If you accepted the OTA from Sprint using your system update on your phone, you are no longer rooted and will not have a custom recovery/root permissions. You will be unable to flash any custom recovery/ROMS/delete any sprint apps/Other Root only things until someone comes up with a way to root 2.2.
Have a drink in hopes that a dev will come up with a way to Root 2.2 soon!
I didnt update over the phone
What happened is I installed a rooted verson of 1.47.651.1 but in doing that it got rid of the recovery image... it definetly a rooter version because i can run apps that require root.. such as wife tether titanium back etc...
any other suggestions...

there's an update.zip around here somewhere that will allow you to boot into an early form of clockwork recovery.
so, assuming that you goofed something, but still have nand unlocked....
find that update.zip. put it and a .zip for a real recovery onto your sdcard. boot into hboot, let it run the update.zip, that will take you to koush's early clockwork recovery. use that recovery to flash a solid recovery.
done.
alternative method would be to use fastboot to erase the recovery partition, then put a new recovery in.
Here is the update.zip...Just extract Recovery.zip....Do this OR/AND what the Senior Member above said and you should be good

I actually tried the update.zip one already and it doesnt install... it will stated that the signature cant be verified and it will about the installation... havent tried the fastboot approach... I guess I will need to find out how to do that now
so from the looks of it I am screwed... I have hboot .79 if that matters and from the looks of it the rooted rom i installed screwed up my nand unlock.. which is why i think i can install any recovery images... i tried alot of the nand unlock tutorials and most of them I eventually get to a point were i need to write to /data and i cant because permissions are denied... great... oh well i'll keep on trying... any suggestions are appreciated...
If you still have super user, try this...same thing happend to me.

I'm having a very similar problem also. My Hboot is 0.79.000 too & after trying clockworkmod recovery, a few RUU update attempts, and attempting to change ROMs completely (not in that order) I'm at a loss, no success anywhere. I can't even get in to recovery anymore. It just reverts back to Bootloader menu where my options are Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, or Power down (& I think there is one other option that i tried and sent me back to the aforementioned screen). However, I can still load my pre-existing ROM...
Does anyone have any ideas if there is anything I can do?
TIA

you can erase recovery from rom manager and try to reflash. i would recommend reinstalling rom manager just to make sure it installed correctly. it installed bad on me once and corrupted my recovery trying to update it, reinstalled and installed an old recovery then the newest one and it worked.
Thanks for the suggestions all. I followed the instructions from link you posted using terminal emulator. No such luck, still reading HBOOT 0.79.0000 and running same ROM.
I also tried reinstalling (several times) clockworkmod recovery images and it effects nothing.
Should I try to completely unroot my phone again? If the images i just flashed didn't do it what will?
Im totally at a loss here. ARG!
hit there jtwonbly.......are you also running the stock rooted 1.47.651.1?
Build number 1.47.651.1 CL195459 release-keys
yea same here......and what is it that your trying to do...go back to stock ROM?
I'd like to go to any other ROM. Its as if I'm no longer rooted anymore.
I think I may try to start all over again using NeckFaces old tutorial on unlocking NAND w/o adb. I'm just not sure if that will fix the HBOOT file because I can't get in to Recovery.
OK Guys thanks for all your help but I have been able to get it fixed now!!!
I pretty much had to redo all of Toast Root tutorial and NAND unlock to get it working. Both Part 1 and Part 2 even though I was already running a rooted rom.
The original problem I had is I kept getting told to just try the nand unlock in part 2 but the phone wasnt having it. It wouldnt like the engineering build of the pc36img.zip
So I started from Part 1. Downloaded the rooted rom pc36img.zip and what do you know it finally let me install it. By the time I was done with both parts 1 and 2 I was able to flash a recovery image, get back to hboot .76 and I am now another proud owner of an Evo running a rooted Froyo!!!!
Okay. I've search around and haven't found anything yet.
I recently got a new evo and rooted with the Unrevoked 3.0 beta RC2 yesterday. All was going well until I tried to upgrade to the CM 6.1.2 this morning. Google apps wasn't installed so I flashed the zip which put me in to a boot loop with Clockwork.
It was giving me an error when I tried to restore the backup. I tried to flash pc36img.zip and now whenever I go into recovery I am in RA-evo-v1.8 which I am unfamiliar with. I've tried installing other ROMs via this recovery but the prcess is aborted each time.
Any help would be more than appreciated. I am literally stuck.

Need any and all information about your phone. I also notice that you are new. The dev section isnt for Q/A there is an entire section dedicated to solving these issues. Please remember that next time. Keeps things cleaner. So please gather anything you can about your phone. Method, Hboot, Version, Radio, Anything that can help anyone here identify something.
Do you have the rom in the root of the usb card? If so try full data wipe and installing the room see if it boots up.
Thanks for the quick reply. Will remember. Desperation has gotten the better of me. I will move over to Q/A if you prefer.
HBOOT-2.10 0001
RADIO - 2.15
Initially rooted via Unrevoked 3 beta RC2 yesterday.
if your able to boot up into a rom download Rom manager and select flash clockworkMod recovery or flash alternate recovery thats prob gonna be the easiest fastest fix (considering it works)

I agree with this method... the best way to determine the recovery to use would be to go into the terminal and type
Code:
cat /proc/mtd
if you see "400000" then you need to get the clockwork v3.0.0.2 that supports this phone partion layout. If you see "20000" then you should get amon_ra 1,8 from here:

The information I gathered was from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894331
Making sure you have the correct recovery is the first step. Once that is done create a nandroid and save it somewhere to ensure that the wimax partition is saved.
You have to flash the modified version of Amon_ra found in Zikronix thread. You can find my thread that points to it or just search for hboot 2.10 and follow the instructions in that rooting thread. It seems you're already rooted so just flashing the recovery is probably all you will need.
I haven't used unrevoked, and I know there are several versions. But I have seen others who have used unrevoked and couldn't flash anything bc evidently the method they used to root didn't install the flash_image file on their phone.
I know that installing flash_image fixed being able to flash for some people who rooted with unrevoked.
This issue came up and I was able to help some people, if you check near the end of fastRX8 thread. But I was only able help point the right direction, they figured out the rest of the way. The OP there has the flash_image file and tells you what terminal commands to install it.
I don't know how for you to check if you gave it or not, as I can see mine on sd card cuz I put it there when I rooted.
Beyond this suggestion, lithid can probably help much better than I.
But def post your hardware version, root method, and hboot version (you see that when you go into bootloader and read the top line.

Was there a resolution for your problem? If so please post so anyone searching in the future can resolve there problem quickly.
you should flash the pc36img.zip located at the bottom of zikronix's root thread. good luck. just put it on the root of ur sdcard named as pc36img.zip and boot into bootloader. accept the update, and say no to the reboot. then pick recovery, and flash a rom. you need to stay with this recovery if it works for you.

==========================================
FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

OP flash the PC36IMG in the bootloader to load this new recovery, then you can go into your new recovery and flash a new rom.
i just rooted my evo with the unrevoked beta.hboot 2.02 it installed clockwork and through that i switchted to the aman ra after that i did a nand backup, powered off my phone and when i turned it back on it was stuck in the bootloader loop. the only thing that eventually worked was installing the sprintlovers pc36img. that got my phone working again. just tried to nand backup again and the same thing happened. does this mean that i need to flash that broken recovery?

Were you restoring a backup or did you stuck on loop on a new rom flash?
i wasnt even trying to flash a rom yet. i was doing the very first nand backup so i could check some roms out. after the backup was complete it gave the option to power off so i did and when i turned my phone back on it was in the bootloader loop. so i went back to recovery, wiped everything, restored nand and i said it restored but when i rebooted it was back in the bootloader loop.so i just search around trying to get help but couldnt find much so i put sprintlovers since it boots up right when you turn your phone on. now it wouldnt even nand backup it said some error and was in the bootloader loop again so i just reinstalled sprintlovers, again
Try downloading an actual rom in zip format (not sprintlovers pc36img) and see if you can flash a new rom fresh. Make sure to wipe everything.
Try using Caulkings format all zip in recovery to wipe your caches.

put in on my sd card turned my phone off to go into recovery and now my phone wont even turn on
it came on now. gonna try to wipe and flash that rom
I have looked in the other forums for help with this but was unable to find anything related to my problem.
I am trying to install the clockwork mod recovery in recovery mode on my HTC desire as installing it from the market does not seem to work. I just install it and my recovery mode is still android system recovery 3e, not clockwork recovery like I should be getting.
So i got the clockwork recover zip file.. put it on my SD card and am attempting to install it myself in recovery mode. With apply SDcard:Update.zip
Now when I do it the install starts as it should then it fails to verify while-file signature and aborts the installation.
Any help would be great.
Your phone must me Rooted an S-OFF to install recovery in a way like that.
Unless you don't have those requirements, try unrEVOked to flash clockworkmod.
Hi,
Are you trying to also root and install a custom ROM ? or sticking with the Desire ROM as supplied by the carrier.
If you want root etc. then have a look at:
http://unrevoked.com/
It'll root and install ClockworkMod.
Ah that will explain it..
The problem I am having is I am unable to sucessfully root my phone using Unrevoked it keeps failing when it reboots the phone. I thought if i could manully install clockwork mod it would work. I guess I was Wrong.

Use unrEVOked 3.21 (not latest on their site - if that's a no go) - that's working for the most people. And make sure you have installed the HBOOT drivers correctly!!! (check android developement forum for that).
Tired using a verison of 3.21 and it did not work either.. It was unable to get past the NAND lock.. it would install the root say sucess then say error failure to unlock NAND flash..

And make sure the modified HBOOT Drivers are installed correctly!
I recently flashed CM7 RC1 and everything was fine minus a few problems with the market so i decided to re-flash the rom in the hopes that it might fix it. then came my issues.
the phone wouldn't boot into CWM recovery through rom manager (stops at red triangle) same thing happens when trying to do this manually.
only positive is that it still boots up CM7.
any idea how i can fix this?
any help is appreciated.
When you can boot into CM7 try install CWM via Rom manager.
sorry i forgot to mention in my opening post that i have tried this several times, it says its downloaded successfully and shows it as my current recovery yet it still doesn't work
Are you S-Off'd? You could try a 'Fastboot flash recovery' command and just flash on the Clockwork recovery IMG yourself.
the phone is s-on
So try Alpharev, or you can install stock RUU rom and root your phone again.
not too sure really how alpharev works so if there is a simpler option ill use that.
unable to use a RUU rom as it comes up with an error.
im stumped
Make sure youve got a file 'update.zip' in the root of your sdcard.
If you haven't, try copying 'recovery-update.zip' from your clockworkmod folder and rename it 'update.zip'

Can you try the unrevoked root method again? Should flash on the recovery image.
AlphaRev is easy, you download the .ISO, burn that to a CD, boot into that Live CD, connect phone, and it'll do the rest.
unrevoked seems to have sorted it cheers for the help everyone.
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:
