Hi all,
I've S-OFF my HTC Desire with revolutionary and all is working as expected, recovery and custom rom (ICS). But I'm very interested to have a touch recovery (like 4EXT). I've tried to install by using the provided application, and all seems installed correctly, but when I tried to switch back on recovery, (vol down, then recovery in the menu), I get HTC logo during 1 sec, then back in the menu. I've reinstall a working recovery with revolutionary, but it seems that I cannot change my recovery anymore.
I've also tried to install the official Clock Mod recovery, but I get exactly the same result.
Is there a way to change the recovery image after using Revolutionary to root and S-OFF my HTC Desire?
Thanks
Olivier.
Try to flash a recovery image manually using android flasher or adb.
via xda app

You cant flash a recovery image via adb. You can only flash a recovery image via fastboot.
OP should read the adb and fastboot faq available via my signature.

Hi everyone. I'm having some problems with my Recovery which I can't seem to figure out:
I tried to mod my phone with CM6.1 the other day using ROM Manager. ROM downloaded and started to install, no problems. When it tried to boot up again, it got stuck in a loop at the CM loading screen. When I tried to reboot in to Clockword Mod Recovery, all I got was a picture of a phone with a triangle (can't remember which colour - think it was green). Eventually I realised that was a stock recovery and managed to get my phone restored to my backup but I can't seem to get my recovery to go to anything but the stock one. Rom Manager reports Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed and I've tried using Rom Manager, Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works - I'm still at the built-in recovery.
Now, If I boot in to recovery, I get the red triangle and a message on screen stating "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".
If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
"Android Commander and UnrEVOked to flash ClockworkMod and Amon-Ra and nothing works" make sure youre trying to flash a .img file
"Clockwork Recovery reports ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 installed" that because the recovery (.zip) is saved on the SDCARD. When booting Recovery from ROM Manager, youre fake-flashing the file (.zip)
"If I do use the built-in recovery to flash ClockworkMod as an update.zip, ClockworkMod launches but when I reboot, it's gone again and I'm back to stock." thats fake-flashing
what HBOOT are you on??
EDIT: You should S-OFF your Desire "http://alpharev.nl/".
WARNING: When using S-OFF your flashing a custom HBOOT. If that goes wrong, it may brick your Desire. If you use S-OFF, then you can flash a permanent recovery using fastboot
Thanks Chris. Any idea why it would have reverted though? I used to have a permanent version of ClockworkMod until the other week
Edit: HBOOT just says 0.80.0000 and has 3 androids on skateboards

Go back to stock, download the original ruu for you phone. After that try rooting again.
Rats - had a feeling that may be the answer. Think I'll be able to restore a backup?

I fake-flash all the time. I once messed up a ROM's installation and got stuck because it messed up the recovery too.
The loop startup is probably caused by older cache from your previous ROM. Just boot up recovery again, clear cache and restore factory settings and then flash your CM again. Should do the trick.

Flashed my HBOOT with AlphaRev - those guys are brilliant, coding that!
Thank you for your help!
Bingo!
Think I've nailed it now!
I used Fastboot Commander [v.1.0] to flash Amon-RA which took and stayed!
To confirm: I installed AlphaRev bootloader to S-OFF then Fastboot Commander to flash Amon-RA. Hopefully, I'll now be able to flash Clockwork Recovery again (as I use Rom Manager) and be back up and running!
Think I may skip CM6.1...
hey everyone, i have an sim free desire HD that was rooted and s-off and has been running like that for a while. recently i tried to access clockwork mod to try and flash a new rom but when i did so the recovery does not load. Its just stuck on the htc splash screen, it doesnt even say quietly brilliant. The phone still works but i cannot access recovery. I tried the following procedure in fastboot to re flash the recovery
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recoveryCWM.img
fastboot reboot
after doing this it still has not worked. Any suggestions or a certain fix would be brilliant.
Thanks
You can put the PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade post to your SD card and reboot to bootloader, it will flash you the 1.32 stock ROM and you can start from a clean table.
use an older version of recovery

I had the same problem, with clockwork 3.0.0.6 ... I then flashed 3.0.0.5 (see the bottom of the Rom manager Menu that proposes you to use former recovery roms). I could solve my problem that way.
I have my Desire rooted S-OFF running CWM 2.5.0.9 and phoenix 1.3 ROM. I have been trying to upgrade to CWM 3.0.0.5. I tried following directions website and chose renaming my file as update then installing it from recovery. Now the phone will not boot into recovery although it is otherwise fully functional. Any thoughts on how to begin to remedy this? ROM Manager still says I am running 2.5.0.9.
The phone will boot into the FASTBOOT/HBOOT white screen but when I select RECOVERY it hangs at the splash screen. I posted this at the Teamuscellular site but it appears after maintenance I can no longer post over there so posting here in hopes of a faster response.
Download this and install the image. Will flash it all for you no problem. Make sure you get the .img.
I followed the instructions listed ... even tried custom recovery with unRevoked but I get the same result. Going to try reflashing 2.5 to see if I can get back into recovery at all.....
Boot into the fastboot screen and flash the new recovery from there via usb.

On clicking on flash clockworkmod recovery in rom manager it downloads and says"successfullydownloaded clockworkmod recovery" instead of "successfully flashed clockwoekmod recovery"..
While booting in recovery mode it shows a phone with a traingle. on top with an exclamation mark inside it..
pls help ..
I can't install a custom rom
Thanq in advance..
Rom manager can only install a temp recovery, I think you need to run revolutionary and at the end choose yes when it asks if you want to install recovery. Either that or use fastboot etc etc......

Use Android Flasher to flash recovery. Much easier and no adb commands are needed.
