HELP! Broken Recovery & boot loop - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help!
PVT4 - S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
I rooted my Mums PVT4 Desire - all went well. Rebooted into Recovery and flashed RunnyMead Rom... rebooted into a boot loop - back into recovery and all I get is the main menu, if I select anything I get a black screen with no menu options (I did get these before flashing the ROM) pressing the power button brings back the recovery menu. The recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 (I'm not sure but think this might not be compatible)...
So now I'm stuck. I tried flashing AmonRa with fastboot but get "
OKAY [ 0.601s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.012s"
I don't want to go further before knowing what I need to do to fix this, any help very much welcomed!!
I'm thinking of trying S-Off, but will this work without the phone booting to the OS?
Thanks

pvt 4 erase cache 40000 and CWM 2.5.0.7 are not compatible... you can NOT flash new recovery as you are s-on, s-off is needed try to run RUU 2.29 and s-off with alpharev or revolutionary
more research and learning is really needed...

Boot into fastboot, flash 2.3.3 RUU and run Revolutionary. Fore more information read bortak's troubleshooting guide.

Thanks, founds that guide and returned back to stock... will try re rooting in next few weeks. Thanks for the help, so glad I've got my Nexus...

[Q] I'm stuck with Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 recovery !!

I cannot upgrade to a newer version of Clockworkmod recovery !
I have tried everything, fastboot flash returns failed signature verification, rom manger also cannot update to a newer version.
Also tried Unrevoked but it fails.
the phone is rooted and I have flashed several ROMs in the past without any problem.
Any idea?
Fastboot flash doesn't return verification failed error.
You need to be s-off to change recover using fastboot. Before you do anything, read some tutorials, you need to differentiate among most basic terms.

I get this error from fastboot
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (3256 KB)... OKAY [ 0.468s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.952s
I have tried to flash clockworkmod 5 and also tried the touch version, but with no luck.
Maybe the S-OFF is messed up, but only if rom manager did something wrong, because last time when I have upgraded the recovery it was from ROM Manager.
Fail on my part...
That seems like there is no device tho. My money is on broken drivers. There is a guide how to do in development so search for it as it works 100%.
unrevoked connects to phone, sends the file to phone then at the end it fails.
I have tried revolutionary for S-OFF the program connects to phone then displays the phone serial number, asks for the key then after I enter the key, the connection is lost.
So I really don't know what to do anymore, and I need a newer recovery since the one which I have does not have options to partition the SD Card and ICS is eating a lot of memory without SDExt.
The phone is ok, it's not broken, I flash every 2-3 days a newer ICS ROM and it works.
why dont you try a different recovery.i have been using ext4 recovery for a while and imo it is way better than cwm....
I use clockworkmod because I have purchased the ROM manager tool and it works with their recovery.
I finally managed to flash a newer clockworkmod recovery and very strange after reboot it has reverted back to the old 2.5.0.7 version !!! At least I was able to partition my sd-ext...
I have tried the boot CD with alpha-rev it freezes in the final stage, but after that I was able to flash the new recovery using the recovery itself, but as I said after reboot the new recovery has gone !
Now I have tried to flash again a newer recovery from ROM manager it says it finished successful, but the recovery still remains 2.5.0.7

Because all you are doing is a fake flash. You need to flash it from fastboot in order to stick.
Ditch the Rom manager. That pos app is guilty of more usb bricks than most of us can count.
And how can I flash it from HBOOT ?

You need to read ADB for dummies guide to gain knowledge how to set ADB up.
Then you go into hboot by pressing vol- and power button.
Select fastboot.
Download your recovery.img and place it in the same folder your fastboot.exe is, then type in cmd:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache.
Return to hboot and boot in the recovery.

Erklat, thanks for this - I have the same problem.
i have finally got round to get adb, etc, working..and it kinda works, except that when flash a newer version of CWM (v5.0.2) on fastboot it still doesn't work. I tried using the Rom manager, which failed straight away, and I followed your steps above. But still didn't work.
So my story's background:
I rooted my Desire with Unrevoked so I could install ICS (sandvold) - and it has been working beautifully. But now I want to create an ext3 partition and the GParted method is far too complex for me to follow through.
CWM i have installed doens't partition, and so I though I'd update the recovery tool so I could use it to partition.
Any suggestions on what I could do?

Do you get an error when you flash a new recovery via fastboot or does it say it successfully flashed the recovery.img file? If you didn't get an error, do you always go to Rom Manager to access recovery? If yes, I say ditch rom manager. Try vol down + power like on erklat's instruction, this time select Recovery. See if the recovery you flashed is booted.
If you are s-off it's better you flash 4ext recovery. It's by far the best recovery you can use for Desire.

I also tried flashing RA, just to see if it would work (and also heard its better). But nothing. It's quite bizarre.
My phone is not S-OFF - I used the HTC official software and I dont' think it does it - I have no problems in doing it if it will resolve this problem.
I have also tried this flashing using the terminal, Which I found in the Q&A's but i get several error messages, and then finally:
"error writing recovery: No space left on device"
So I uninstalled a couple of apps (freeing some 10mb+) but still the same issue.
As you are not s-off you can't flash recovery, get s-off and flash any you like

RA has not been maintained for quite some time. 4EXT is probably the best and it's developer is very devoted to his project.

Ah that really sucks. Will I be able to gain S-Off by using AlphaRev? Revolution doesn't work because my HBoot is 1.0.3... and thus not supported.
Once I get it to be S-Off I'll switch to 4EXT.
Thanks, for the help so far!

and then i flashed recovery with adb

[Q] Getting stuck need some guidance flashing rom

Hi all
DHD 2.35 GB
3.13.351.4
Used HTC hboot unlock
Used ace tool to root and flash cwm
So phone is hboot unlock rooted and have cwm.
Tried using hack kit to s-off but when it pushes the PD98IMG phone re boots into cwm.
Tried manually booting to hboot and it loads the PD98IMG but after loading says failed or wrong version.
Read somewhere that hack kit has to have locked hboot to work so tried the ace tool to re-lock hboot and that fails.
When it says phone will restart it restarts to cwm
Tried flashing a few roms as is using cwm (cm10.1, slimbean, viper)
cwm says the roms installed but either phone boots as normal stock 2.35 or hangs at htc screen
Luckily i did a full cwm backup so easy to restore if it doesnt boot.
IS THERE A METHOD OF FLASHING ROMS THAT DOESN'T NEED S-OFF?
IS THERE ANOTHER METHOD TO S-OFF
Any help greatly appreciated

It does not boot because you need to flash the custom rom boot.img in fastboot after flashing the rom in CWM.
Ok so this is what I did
In CWM factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalviQ, wipe battery stats
CWM installed zip from card
chose cm-10.1-20130311-UNOFFICIAL-ace.zip
This completed in a couple of minutes no errors
back in hboot / fastboot
flashed boot.img from cm-10.1.... zip but get sig verify fail......
fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending boot 3824k
okay
writing boot
(bootloader) signature checking.....
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished
What an i doing wrong?

You need to re-unlock your bootloader. And AAHK is retired and the server hosting the files it needs has been pulled.

hboot already shows as unlocked
i never relocked it
In 1st post you're mentioning "either boots to 2.3.5"....in the 2nd again missing system and data wipe.
Not 100% but I guess you at least need radio s-off for flashing ROMs.
If I were you, I'd rather not try.

This is false. You can flash ROMs with S-On if you have an unlocked bootloader.
My mistake.
Stuuk, "the Bible" says: "the other way of gaining root is flashing custom ROM after unlocking bootloader."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
So, did you wipe the system and data after nandroid backup, and before flashing custom ROM?

If I helped, please press Thanks...
DHDcfx4.2.1SR11deappified
Bananagronola was right
Even though hboot showed as unlocked it didnt act like it was.
I ran the htdev unlocker again then I was able to fastboot flash recovery 4ext (over cwm)
In the same session i was also able to fastboot flash a boot.img (which was failing previously)
So booted into 4ext recovery and flashed cm-10.1-20130311-UNOFFICIAL-ace and gapps again after wiping everything.
For good measure I fastboot flashed the boot.img again and hey presto everything works!!!
Well i say everything works however for some reason the touch screen seems a little unresponsive in this rom.
But now I know the procedure I'll be trying a few more roms.
Thanks for all the help

[Q] S-Off but not unlocked, revolutionary instead of locked/unlocked

Hello,
I'm new here, I checked for simular threads and where to put this thread. I hope I did fine..
A few months back I flashed my Desire S without any problems to cyanogenmod 10.
Now I'm trying to do the same for my girlfriends Desire.
I used revolutionary to get s-off and root the phone..
Everything seemed to work out fine, but then it asked me (still in revolutionary) if i wanted to install recovery.
I did that, no errors occured, so I thought, so far, so good...
Than I rebooted in to fastboot to flash cyanogenmod.
I have S-off, but on top of the bootloader screen it says 'revolutionary' instead of unlocked.
I can go to recovery but the recovery doesn't work. Anything I select gives me a black screen with revolutionary logo and it just freezes.
I tried to flash a different recovery, but I get an error everytime I try:
c:\android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (5624 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.827s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image update error)
finished. total time: 0.842s
I tried flashing zip files for SU and I tried flashing a CM zip file, but I get more errors...
I hope someone can help me figure this out...
Thanks!

Try flashing this recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751258
Follow the instructions in the thread.
That worked like a charm! Thanks a lot, so easy, never thought this could work!
I'm in the new recovery now, so I'll try flashing the new rom.. I'll let you know if it worked..
Installed CM10 and gapps without any problems!
Only thing is.. there seems to be no camera app?
And another thing is the memory left on the internal device is only 17MB.. can't even install facebook app...
Is there any way to improve this?
Thanks!

[Q] Locked or Unlocked

Hey Guys,
Hope that someone can help me, I have rooted, installed recovery and custom firmware on a few HTC's.
But this has frickin stumped me !!
The desire I have gotten my hands on does not show locked or unlocked in the boot menu, but It has got S-off I didn't think it was possible??
Tried to unlock the bootloader through HTC dev and that failed, so i thought it was already unlocked
Tried flashing recovery through fast boot, but that failed!!
I'm a bit lost, anyone got any ideas as to where I'm going wrong??
Step one: Stop trying to unlock it...there is no need
Since the phone is already s-off you dont need to worry about unlocking the bootloader.
S-off is the highest level of "openness" you can have on the desire. You have the ability to write to all of the partition that you can with an unlocked bootloader, plus more.
The fact that flashing a recovery failed is indeed a problem though. What was the exact error?

Guys,
Ok, so i realised that I was being a major dumbass and using the wrong fastboot command to try and flash my recovery.
Even when I used the command - fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img, the result was the same, no recovery for me and a bootloop
But the 4ext recovery as PB99IMG zip file on the root of my S/d card has worked, I now have a working recovery and no more bootloop.
Thanks for all your help guys

I tried flashing both of these recoveries
CWM - Touch 5.8.2.0 - Bravo
TWRP - 2.6.0.0 - 2013.07.16
Had the same result on both neither would flash in fastboot.
Taking a look through the files on the phone i can see leftover data from both CWM and also Titanium backup, so its totally been flashed and rooted before I got my hands on it.

[Q] HTC Inspire 4g semi-brick. Have fastboot and CWM.

SO I have been messing with this HTC inspire 4g and I was having some software issues on the factory ROM. So I decided to flash a custom rom to it, but I forgot that I relocked the boot loader. Now I can't seem to flash the boot.img since the bootloader is locked, and I forgot to backup the factory rom before messing with this, so now it will only boot into hboot, fastboot, and recovery. How do I proceed?
Thank you.

If you used the Hack Kit then you should be S-OFF. If you are S-OFF, then flash a custom recovery from fastboot and then a custom rom.

BTW, What does S-OFF and S-ON even mean? I've never come across it in all of my previous android hacks?
ok. I figured it out. Thank you.
how did you solve your problem?
I got the same problem. After unlocked the hboot, installed recovery, then installed a custom rom, now my phone is softbrick.
I can boot to hboot, fastboot, and recovery only. I cannot install any custom rom, reboot after install custom rom from recovery, the phone stuck at the white HTC screen.
The phone is S-ON.
I also have another problem with ADB devices, when I am in the fastboot, the fastboot devices shows the device, but when I am in either hboot or fastboot, the ADB does not show any devices.

1 take the boot.img from the inside of your custom rom.zip
2 put it in the same folder/ drive or herever you have adb
3 go into fastboot with your phone
4 open cmd and type fastboot flash boot boot.img[/B
go out of fastboot and start your phone up
because you still s-on the boot image can't be installed trough recovery.
no warranties here but i had the same problem and it worked fine
good luck
Lexuz,
Thanks for your help. I tried the fastboot flash boot boot.img

Edited:
The error "Signature verify fail" only appear when there is "*** RELOCKED ***" shown. I put the hboot back to "*** UNLOCKED***" then when I tried the "fastboot flash boot boot.img", it succeed. However, when I reboot, instead of stucked at the white htc screen, it shows different boot screen (instead of the white HTC screen), but the phone did not go further after an hour.
I also tried "fastboot flash boot ..." in combination of recovery flashing but none works.

i also got that same problem by using the wrong boot.img.
make sure you use the boot.img that is in your custom rom folder and then flash it (the rom) via recovery (i also think you have to reflash recovery to do this but i'm not sure, for me it has been a learn by your mistakes project).
Unlock bootloader again ..then flash boot image at bootloader then reboot normally ..

Hello to all developers,
Since I go throw this discussion I found out you people need some information regarding unlock boot loader.
I have literally no idea when I rooted my phone and install custom ROM and what is CWM. You guys at least knows it more than me,I'm sure but what i noticed is to unlock bootloader doesn't really require token code to unlock using htcdev.
As i mention above you may unlock bootloader via some program like i used it when these all words are completely new for me. I went through kingroot(dot)net,that site is in chinese so using translator i tried to understand the meaning out of it. Underneath that site once you scroll it down you'll find some various different icons for other site. From there I found to go through mgyun(dot)com download and install software. Don't worry its in Chinese but once you connect your phone it will display HTC G10(a9191) in other words desire HD/inspire 4g.
Kindly look throw all app you'll find "LOCK" kind of a icon. Click on it and check your phone it will display yes/no option choose yes and press power button to unlock BOOT LOADER.
NO NEED ANY SORT OF HTCDEV. As I said these words are couple of weeks ago totally new for me.I did that 20-30 times but I didn't have any idea what so ever that why its needed and what for.
Few things for S-OFF and S-ON
S-OFF you have all access because security is OFF
NO BOOT.IMG require here.
S-ON you have security ON
Always flash boot IMG using adb or using fast boot drivers.
Thanks.
