Hi!
I bought a Desire HD a week ago and today I decided to try one of the custom roms. I rooted it with Visionary+, turned s-off with the one-click tool found in another thread, installed Rom Manager and Clockwork mod and then flashed it with a custom rom from the recovery/boot screen without wiping anything.
The problem is, when I later tried to install another rom, it wouldn't boot, it's stuck on the HTC boot screen. I've tried reflashing it, wiping everything there is to wipe and I even tried RUU but it won't recognize the phone. Can anyone help me how to restore to the normal stock rom?! I can bring up the Clockworkmod recovery menu if I take out the battery and put it back in.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this! Consider that I'm a noob though so try to write the instructions as simply as possible
Hi, I'm basically in the same boat (I take it you tried one of the stable CM6 builds?).
Digged through an awful lot of stuff, found something about downgrading clockwork.
Maybe this'll help you, I'm still having trouble.
I've found an older clockwork recovery image, gathered all the SDK bits and pieces, got my USB drivers set up after even more digging - now this:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
It's rooted, S-OFF, all that good jazz. Halp. :<

Which version clockwork mod are you using? And what is the ROM you tried to flash?
Sometimes custom ROMs can take 5 minutes to boot...so give it some more time and see if that helps.

seems like your pc is not recognizing your phone. And should not you flash the recovery first and then boot?
I did flash the recovery via Rom Manager, which gave me Clockwork Recovery version 3.0.0.5.
Then I had Rom Manager download CM6, it rebooted the phone, phone gets stuck in HTC splash screen.
According to the thread I linked above, I needed to downgrade Clockwork Recovery, hence flashing 2.5.x.x via command prompt.
The drivers are installed correctly, I'm at least sure of that.
Recovering my previously backed up stock ROM won't get me further than the splash screen either, same with wiping everything that can be wiped before that.

Then use ROM manager to downgrade the CWM to 2.x. You can do it under the option "All recoveries" in ROM manager. People are reporting problems with the latest version of CWM. Check if you get the same if you wipe everything and install another custom ROM.
Can't find a way to even get past the first splash screen - only thing I can properly access is the Bootloader.
Same here. When I boot I just see the initial "HTC" logo, nothing else.
I had Mike's Revolution HD ROM installed and working just fine, and then I tried to install another mod, which got me to this situation.
I have CWM 3.0.0.5 and I have a nandroid backup of the working system from before installing the last mod.
I tried recovering the nandroid, which goes smoothly (including the MD5 validation of the backup) but it still doesn't boot afterwards. I wiped the boot, system and data partitions and tried restoring again - same result.
I assume my next step is to flash a new ROM but unfortunately I don't have any ROMs on my SDCARD, so I need a way to push it there. I tried with fastboot but it doesn't recognize a partition called "sdcard". I believe adb should work while I'm in CWM but it just says "error: device not found".
Any suggestions?

Sorry, no idea which version, but it's the default that comes with Rom Manager. I downloaded Rom Manager yesterday so I guess it's the most recent Clockwork mod.
Left it for 15 minutes, still nothing. I used Android Revolution HD 2.0.11 for the first flash which worked and then when I tried to install Pays-ROM HD Sparta 1.0 I got stuck on the boot screen. I've tried recovering from the previous backup I made on the recovery screen with no result.
Just got mine back alive
Flashed CWM 2.5.1.3 and restored the nandroid with it.
Spending the last few hours searching the forums my best advice is to avoid 3.0.0.5
Went a different approach - finally figured out that you could mount the sdcard via Clockwork Recovery, threw newest CM7 nightly on there and installed it with Clockwork as well.
CHRIST that was a pain in the ass... and I thought downgrading the stock ROM was annoying.
as a rule i have found out cwm3 is for flashing gingerbread and cwm2 is for froyo

Thanks for the advice! It worked for my DHD too Except that I, after flashing ut with CM7, restored it to stock with RUU! Thanks to everyone here who tried to help

Take your battery off, then put it back in. Hold power button and volume down button at the same time. You come to recovery...or alternately you can use adb.

mate you're a STAR. I actually downloaded a recovery image (from post 1315) in the same thread but it kept saying "connecting to device". When I downloaded the recovery image from 1312 and ran "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" it say's
sending recovery ... OK
writing recover ... OKAY
What do I do next? Just reboot the device?
oh mother looks like I got somewhere. I did a format device and it went into the CWM 2.3.XX screen as below, reloaded Cyanogen 6.1.3 and boom I'm in. Man I though the device was a goner....I'm almost feeling brave enough to install Cyanogen 7.X

So you are happy with your device now?
Well not really, I went back to HTC Sense because Internet Pass Through wasn't available on Cyanogen and now I cannot get the phone to login and create my google account no matter what

the REMOTE NOT ALLOWED error means you only have radio s-off, so you cannot issue fastboot commands to your device.
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
Hello to the XDA Community!
I was using HTC Buzz, Revolutionary, CWM 2.5, CM7.2 RC.
Wanted to flash the new CWM and succeeded with the img file in the "PM something zip" using Android Flasher. Everything was still fine until I started a Nandroid backup.
It froze, and when I rebooted, it was stuck on the HTC Screen. So, I went to recovery, cleared everything, and restored my previous backup (performed with CWM 2.5). It says complete but the phone is stuck on the CM7 Splash Screen.
Help anyone? Thanks!

have you ever set up custom mtd partitions? if you have then reflash the boot file,if not then I suspect you have a corrupt backup and you prob best off reflashing rom as I've had issues before trying to restore a nandroid from using a different cwm recovery than the version you originally made it from.

As a matter of fact I have CustomMTD, and I have reflashed the boot file as well, in vain.
Can anyone provide me with a CWM 2.5.0.5 image file? So I can degrade and restore the Nandroid?
Thanks
solved
this isn't 2.5 but it restored my 2.5 backups when I had problems. its jrodds 3.???? not a pc49 so you will have to use adb/fastboot or terminal emulator method of flashing. I haven't got 2.5 nor can I help with adb or fastboot flashing sorry but if needed I can instruct with terminal emulator method if you get a rom working 1st.
just a thought have you looked in wildfire dev sticky at 3xenos complete wildfire index thread as everything you need is normally there. regards Slymobi.
" Tomorrow .... its a brand new Today "
mmmm wait I just remembered that flashing a new cwm will reset custom mtd's??? don't know if this will cause your problem,try redoing mtds,both recovery then boot.its been so long since my problems that I can't remember what I'm talking about lol.
anyway I've just found the official 2.5.0.7 buried away on my sdcard same rules apply to previous post. goodluck......
solved
" Tomorrow .... its a brand new Today "
Thanks a lot for that!
Found out what was wrong, I think. I cleared everything again, but this time I reflashed the recovery of the CustomMTD and all the rest. And phone is back on!
Thanks a lot for your support. Will keep a copy of the CWM anyways just in case.
Cheers

lol no probs. I'm gonna delete the links soon so get them and keep them safe.

Hello,
Last night my phone restarted itself for no apparent reason (I clicked to open Friendcaster and it just went poof!) and got stuck looping the "htc" splash white screen. I can go into hboot but when I try to access recovery it just starts looping the "htc" logo again. I tried installing several different versions of recovery thru Fastboot Mode - and every time in the Windows Command Prompt it says installation "okay" but I still cannot access recovery. This is all of the info I can gather by reading thru the hboot menu;
-Revolutionary-
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT- 6.01.1002
RADIO-3.35.20.10
The phone has mtd custom partition, and I was using the Mini CM7 by jordfaz
Thank you in advance for any help provided!
Well i unlocked and rooted it just fine. got fastboot installed, after some trial an error i got CWM to work, i extracted the boot.img from the rom, went into CWM and selected the ROM, and sent it into reboot to install and its been in a reboot loop since. ive tried restoring recovery imgs and hitting factory reset with no luck, and when i boot into CWM, it wont let me choose things. i can scroll but pressing the power button makes the foreground text dissapear. ive tried RUU and but get an error part way through the restore. kinda need my phone for work tonight so any help would be great!
EDIT: yeah this is what i get for not doing my research. i didnt flash the recovery and re lock the phone before applying the RUU.
Ohkay SO Lets Start..I am Kinda ****ed ..
I Rooted My HTC ONE X after unlocking the Bootloader from htc dev.com and installed CWM and SU..now when i rebooted(after installing a app(fon changer) the phone is stuck at the startup splash screen i can enter fastboot and recovery but cant do anything else and have tried erasing fastboot cache and it doesnt work.I badly need ur help ...I cant lose this phone
Parents will literally kill me
I tried Wiping Dalvik cache but that also doesnt help.
Note:I was on the stock ROM(International Version India) and only wanted to root to use titanium Backup.
Anyone who can help?
Maybe some of the info in this thread will help

Grab yourself a custom rom, install the rom via CWM and flash the kernel from fastboot. Backup your current rom (even tho its broke, via clockwork) you may be able to figure out what was wrong with it and recover at some point.
Thanks a lot!
Ohk I finally have some good news
My Phone is up and running again..
Thanks a ALOT for all the help.Extremely Sweet of u
