I received a replacement Inc2. It came with 2.3.4 so i downgraded it and used Revolutionary to obtain s-off and install clockwork. Now when i reboot using power button and volume down, i get the white screen showing Fastboot, recovery, factory reset screen,etc. When i select recovery, i get the revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4 screen. When I select install zip and select MIUI, this is what it says.
installing:
findings update package....
opening update package...
e: cant open /sdcard/miui.us.vivow...............(this rest of the filename)...(bad)
installation aborted
I have tried several ROMs and also tried to install a backup from my prior INC2 but none of it works
any help is appreciated
That usually means that the file is corrupt, but since you tried it on multiple ROMs, I think you need to update your recovery. Download ROM Manager from the Market, and Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. Or, you can download the 4EXT Recovery Control app, and get an even better recovery.
Ok downloaded ROM manager and when I start it is gives me the message "you must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Superuser was not found as "/system/bin/su/system/xbin/su"
I ok thru that but when i attempt to update to 5.0.2.0 is gives me the message " an error has occurred while attempting to run privilege commands"
I had my old Incredible 2 rooted without any issues.
Thanks for your help.
Update. Got it figured out. For some reason the superuser zip did not install. After I did that again, it works. Able to flash my setup from my previous INC 2. Thats for you help.

Alright, I guess I screwed up my Desire.
Whenever I power up the device, it gets into Bootloader.
My guess is the OS/ROM or whatever you call that is being deleted.
So how can I do to have it booted up into Android 2.1/2.2 OS?
It would help a great deal if you told what you did that made this happen like are you rooted? did you do s-off hack?
hmm, actually, I can't really remember what I've did.
I wanted to try rooting but somehow, it didn't work and I've tried going into Recovery and in ClockworkMod Recovery, I've selected wipe data/factory reset, and also wipe system, etc.
Are you able to boot into recovery? If you are, you can just use the clockwork mod recovery to flash a new rom, which you can download from the development forum.
yup, i've tried flashing shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
But when I select apply sdcard: update.zip, I get
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
But previous I'm on 2.2 via OTA and HBOOT is 0.93
Hi,
I'm trying to backup my rooted stock ROM with ROM Manager and ClockWork Recovery Mod before I start to mess around with LeeDroid. However every time I try to back it up I get this error message:
"E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Would anyone know why?

are you sure you have flashed CWM recovery? does it look like this? http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4899540611_d630b5c7cb.jpg because it sounds like your using the stock android recovery
Looks like I do have Android Recovery installed and not the ClockWork Recovery Mod. However no matter how many times I try to flash it via ROM Manager it just won't work. Also manually placing the CWR zip file on the SD card and then trying to 'Reboot into recovery' also doesn't work.

Hi all,
I finally decided to root my HTC Desire. It's running 2.10.405.2, with a 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 Radio and HBOOT 0.93.0001. The recovery is Clockwork 2.5.0.7
I went thru the latest Unrevoked, and I got it rooted the first time.
Yet, I can't perform a nandroid backup in order to flash a MIUI rom. This is the displayed error message i got :
Backing up boot
Error while dumping boot image
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC :
I'm lost !
I had exactly the same problem and had to install clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 in order to be able to create a nandroid backup.
Search the desire development thread for the latest clockworkmod, download the .img version and reflash the phone using unrevoked but before you start, go into unrevoked settings and tell it to use the .img you downloaded instead of the standard one. 3.0.0.5 will then be your standard recovery and will let you backup/flash etc.
Hope this helps

Also,
Keep ROM Manager installed, because although It's generally **** and I'd never use it if I didn't have to, it has one use . .
Sometimes, you may try to flash a zip in Clockworkmod (CWM) 3.0.0.5 and it will tell you it can't flash it due to some edify scripting issue (or something like that!!)
As rare as it is, if this happens, reboot to android, run ROM Manager and ask it to install recovery. When it's done, ask it to reboot to recovery and it will install CWM 2.5.0.7 then boot into it, which will let you flash the zip which you couldn't flash before. Awesome!
The good thing is, once you leave recovery, 2.5.0.7 is gone and next time to reboot to recovery (not using ROM Manager) you will be back to 3.0.0.5.
Double awesome!!
What I've advised in the last 2 posts works well for me and has done for months, so hopefully it will work for you too.
Don't use ROM Manager for anything other than this though, cos apart from this it is rubbish!!
EDIT: CWM is here by the way

Hi,
I used Unrevoked with the latest Clockwork recovery. Unfortunately, I got this error message : "Error, failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?"
I think I must reset the phone though I don't want to... That'll do like I did the 1st time.
That sucks !
Sorry to hear that Kev94,
Here's a few suggestions that have worked for others who got your error message:

I have another problem : I just reset the phone via the phone option. Everything went fine, except it rebooted into recovery, then I rebooted it normally, and eventually nothing was reset or changed ! It was like nothing happened... WEIRD !
I'd like to wipe the phone via the recovery option, yet I can't mount /data.
Is there gonna be a problem if I choose to wipe, given it says it can't mount /data ? ->I don't want to brick or corrupt my phone, get boot loop or anything else.
Have similar problem
Again, i just performed a wipe data/factory reset via the recovery, and nothing changed ! Should I try a HBOOT "clear storage" ?
I have a rooted droid incredible that was running stock froyo. I was attempting to install gingerbread on clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.8 and it did install, but after it installed it wouldn't ever get past the first white screen. I think the rom that I installed was TMartinPPC_GingerInc_v1.0. I then went back and tried to reinstall the signed froyo rom that I had before, but everytime I try I get a message that says:
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to edify scripting (updater script and update-binary ) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.
I've looked many places for a solution to this but most solutions involve actually being able to boot the device. Most posts I've seen say that it is an issue with clockworkmod 3.0.0.8 and that I need to revert to 2.X.X.X but I'm not sure if I can do that without being able to boot my device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys
I'm having some trouble with my HOX. I`m currently running a rooted droid running android revolution 33.1. I have CWM 6.0.3.2 as my current recovery and am trying to update to 6.0.4.8 so I can put slimkat 9.0 on my HOX. As I understand it the slimkat rom requires SELinux support for the rom to run and the latest version of CWM has this.
I have tried flashing the update using flashify and rom manager. Both say they have flashed correctly, however when i boot into recovery my version is still the current one im running. I have also tried using fastboot to flash the new recovery and it keeps coming up with "unknown error" in windows CMD. I have also tried apply update.zip from the recovery and i keep getting the error message "E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory". And the zip file i made is just called "recovery" and NOT "recovery.zip". I know this has caused trouble for other people, so this was the first thing I checked.
So I have a few questions. These are: Why fastboot won't flash the new recovery/why I get the error message "E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory"/ would i have to revert to stock rom and recovery and relock so I could re root the HOX and install the latest recovery.
Any and all help is welcome and greatly appreciated.
