I'd say place it in a folder on your SD and try to restore it with the restore option in recovery mode. However without md5 sum it certainly will not accept it... good luck !

is this a normal recovery image like clockwork mod or amon-ra? if so and you have s-off you can just flash it from fastboot using the android sdk

Yeah its a modified ClockworkMod recovery, it can just be flashed like any other recovery.

just use a command prompt to navigate to the tools folder inside the android sdk, connect your device in fastboot mode to your pc, and use the command "fastboot flash recovery xxxxxx.img" (i think) or it might just be "fastboot flash xxxxxxx.img ive never had to flash a recovery from fastboot

tried it and it says psfMod-bravo-0.9.7.1.img not found???

which folder do i have to keep the image in?

I meant it says it cannot be loaded the recovery image file. But what folder do I have to keep the file in

[HELP]Bricked Phone, ABD installed, Device Offline!

Well, it seems I have bricked my phone with Visionary app(not pointing fingers). Problem is, I have ADB drivers installed but I can't use it because I can't get passed the HTC boot screen. I've tried using it in Recovery but the device is registered as Offline. My only other option of saving my phone I guess is with Fastboot. I've searched the forums for help but I'm getting nowhere fast. I'm accepting all help and ideas.

1. Did ADB work before (meaning do you have the proper ADB drivers installed)?
2. Does fastboot work?
3. If you can access recovery, why don't you just wipe?

1. I installed the correct drivers using the PDAnet method.
2. Fastboot does work, I just don't have any images to flash.
3.Apparently Visionary installed another system file that when I wipe, it does nothing for me.

Can you flash the PC101.OMG, or whatever its called whatever file to restore to original rom?

Then go get some. Check one of the stickies for links to downgrade and see if that works for you.

This is what I get when I try to:
Code:
fastboot update update.zip
I've also tried
Code:
fastboot flash system update.zip

No help here?

Ok, so I have the PC10IMG...zip file, but how do I use this with fastboot? I can't use adb to push the file to the sd card.

You're supposed to use fastboot to flash .img files, not .zip files. Zip files are flashed through recovery.

OMG Please Help me!

Ok I think I've actually broken my One X.
I was trying to put a default ROM back onto the system, I had my phone plugged into my PC, and "ran Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_One_X"
STUPIDLY I deleted a couple of files off the SD card in Windows Explorer, and now I cant get into recovery mode for ClockwordMod Recovery (as I'm assuming like an idiot I deleted it somehow)
Literally if I boot the phone it won't go past the HTC welcome screen.
I apologise profusely if this is already covered elsewhere - but I am an absolute noob and do not understand much of the jargon. I shouldn't have messed in the first place, I could cry

1. Fastboot and erase the cache, that will then allow you back into the recovery.
2. Fastboot the boot.img to your phone, as S-OFF won't allow the clockwork to flash it.
3. Don't panic. You can always recover the phone through Fastboot.
I should know, i was once in your position.

thanks for the reply,
I read about erasing the cache, but I have no idea how.
the guide just says type it into your pc
sorry again for being thick!

No problem.
Do you have fastboot open on your pc? if so.
Type : fastboot erase cache
Then download the Boot.img from ARHD, and follow the instructions.
Mike has included a .bat file that will automatically erase the cache and flash the boot image. I suggest going on to his forum and running the file.

I know I have downloaded it (I'm so lost) but the file in my downloads isn't something that opens a program?
Thanks a bunch!

It should have a .bat named install-boot, it shouldn't run a program, but open in CMD with options displayed on what to do next. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

ok I don't have a file called install-boot, just adb, fastboot and a few .dll files. both exe files flash cmd but it doesnt remain open.
any chance you can point me in the direction of this software as it would appear i have the wrong thing!

It seems like we need to get back to basics a bit. Are you familiar with MS-DOS? Those programs are not meant to be run from windows by clicking on them. They are run with command lines typed in a DOS type window that is opened when you type "cmd" into your search box in windows.

sorry, confusing fastboot and flashboot I think,
I'm being told that I'm missing adbwinapi.dll - looking into it
I'm no genius but I'm not usually this bad, just so worried - got the phone 12 hours ago, naturally feeling sick!

ok, followed the steps with flashboot (ran the cache delete and install-boot)
still not let into recovery. it goes past the htc sense screen, all black with a mobile with green arrows in a circle (like a sync) which eventually changed to a triangle with '!' in it.
what am i missing?

You can't delete recovery through windows explorer for the record.

That's stock recovery it sounds like. Just relock your bootloader ( fastboot oem lock) then run an ruu. Then once booted you can start all over.

sorry noob alert again: how do i do this?

Sounds like it has the stock recovery on it. Download the Cwm recovery and you should have a file called recovery.img. Place this file in the adb platform-tools folder. Go to that location in cmd prompt then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or you can find on xda via search one x all in one kit which if you download and open then put your phone in fastboot mode via bootloader will allow you to flash Cwm recovery and should do it for you

int the adb platform-tools folder? again im very very sorry, but where is this?

When you downloaded adb did you download the exe or zip version. If exe download zip version then extract it place the contents on your c drive then when using cmd use the cd commands to get to the correct folder.

ok, I have managed to boot a recovery (i think) and can now get into CWM, only problem now, is that my PC no longer recognises my phone in order for me to put any ROM files onto the SD card so that it can load them?

Yes Cwm does not support sd mount atm. I think you will need to refer to the post by someone saying relock bootloader and flash ruu. You will need to find and download the ruu that matches your device. ie network your on and country ur in. As I'm guessing you have deleted the rom image of the sd or nand backup?

are you true soff? did you root following the wiki guide? do you still have access to the recovery?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

To root I used
cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Rooting
I dont know what true soff is
Holding power button and volume down i can boot into fast boot hboot does not let me select recovery.
clockwork mod and rom manager do not show on apps listed.
looks like reverted to stock tmobile rom but s off and htc vision show up so I may be still rooted?

1. True S-OFF is a permanent type of S-OFF. There are ways to do it temporarily. It looks like yours is perm S-OFF.
2. From the instructions that you followed, did you have to put a PC10IMG file onto the root of your SD card? If that file is still there, the bootloader will always look to that file and not allow anything else to be done.
3. Clockwork Mod will not show in an apps list. It replaces the recovery of your phone. It is not an app. As for ROM manager, I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe if you can pull logs from your phone we can work on that.
4. Just because S-OFF shows up does not mean you are rooted. If you flashed the stock T-Mobile ROM then chances are you lost root privileges. You can do a quick check by looking in your app drawer for the "Superuser" app. If it is there, you are still rooted. If not, most likely you are not.

Oh! your smart…Yes PC10IMG is still on SD card.
As is superuser.apk and clockworkmod and titamium backup
"Superuser" app is not in app drawer
how would i pull the logs

take the image off sd card and you will be allowed back into recovery, then do a full wipe and flash rom of choice via recovery
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

ok took off image and it allowed me into recovery now i have a cool picture of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation point
update: pulled battery turned it on using only power button goes to tmobile stock screen and works fine. do i need to re root and flash new rom?

need to flash a custom recovery again via fastboot. get the .img from somewhere in xda (or google it)
put recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe on computer
connect your phone via usb and boot into fastboot
open cmd on computer change directories to where fastboot and recvoery image are
type fastboot devices (just to make sure its working)
then type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then
fastboot reboot bootloader
now boot into recovery
now flash rom of choice via recovery

Hello, thanks for all the help.
Am I using ADB AND FASTBOOT or SDK to put recovery.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe on computer

sorry a bit confused on what you are asking
after downloading the sdk package you will find a folder probably under platform tools with adb and fastboot .exe in it
this is the folder you want the recovery image
this is also the folder you want to open cmd
right click in the folder and choose open comand here
then you should be ready to use fastboot
(another option is to change enviromenta variables so you dont need to worry about what folder fastboot is in in the future but not necessary right now)

Any suggestions?

did you get the recovery in an .img or a .zip? if its zipped extracted it
alsom make sure it is named recovery.img
windows adds the file extention so you may just need to name it recovery
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

It came as a disk image file not zipped, until I changed the file to just recovery I got an error cannot load.
Once changed it loaded started recovery and failed.
Ive been reading about eng hboot as mine shows "s-off" not "eng s-off" but I don’t know how it applies to this.

did you follow the htc official dev bootloader unlock?
or did you root following the wiki?
if you did the htc way you are not true soff and you will need to do this first. look for nipqers directions

well you can try downloading superuser and rommanager from the market and see if you can install recovery that way. i think there is a busybox installer app in the market too but im not sure
you can also try with adb

Getting message "The recovery hasn't been configure!"

Hi,
I try to format my HTC DESIRE S but ends with error.
"The recovery hasn't been configure!"
Use 4EXT Recovery Control or the free app 4EXT Recovery Updater, which is available on www.4ext.net to setup the recovery and to unlock configurable features. Hint: check out recovery settings
I have downloaded in to sd card but its an application and I cannot install the app because im still in recovery mode and cannot access the phone like dialing etc.

You can download a zip file with {4EXT Recovery}.img and flash it manually from your bootloader by using the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
4EXT Recovery Touch (Saga)
If you want more informations about 4EXT Recovery for HTC Desire S you can check this out.
If you have an older 4EXT Recovery installed try to delete the "4ext" folder from your sdcard.The recovery will recreate the settings folder.It may helps you with the error.

I have try to use "Fastboot" but couldn't connect even using htc sync and adb. Its totally cannot connect the phone to my computer. I have install the "recovery.img" file in sdcard and run it, and getting :
" this zip isn't meant to be flashed in recovery! It might be a bootloader flashable zip or nota flashable zip at all. Installation aborted."
