Hello,
i am very desperate.
I want a permanent root on my WFs so I unlocked it.
The next step was to Install a custom recovery. I tried different one but non of them ist starting
I tried this one:
CWM 5.0.2.6
CWM 5.0.2.8
Touch CWM 5.0.2.8
I used fastboot to install them. The flashing works good. But after reboot an selecting "recovery" nothing happens.
None of the is starting. Either I got a black screen or my WFs hang up or it is booting normaly.
What can I do?
I have a WFs with Android 2.3.5, Software# is 2.26.401.3
My HBOOT looks like this:
---unlocked----
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

maybe a bad download, try redownloading recovery.img or try a totally new link.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1rdxmtpx26201or
this is for cwm 5.0.2.8.
did you get any errors at all when flashing recovery?
(not trying to be rude)
for example, did you leave it to fully install.....it has to 'send' the .img to the phone first, then install it....
in cmd did it say send OK and then flash OK or soemthing similar?
i'm thinking that if you get black screen, maybe it sent it but didn't install....either that, or as i said, maybe a bad download?

I tried 3 different recoverys so it is unlikely that three different files are damaged.
the cmd says as you mentioned, no errors, everything seems so bee good.
it's not the same error when flashing one of the custom recoverys. with one I got a black screen, with another one the WFs start's with a HTC-screen and hang up, and with the third one after a some time of waiting, the device is starting normally

how long did you leave it at the white htc screen? it is supposed to show that first then it boots into recovery?
::EDIT::
and while it's unlikely, it's not impossible....try the link i posted and see if it works? nothing to lose right?
try flashing the recovery with the SD Card rather than via fastboot...

sorry, but I am a beginner in android.
how does this work?
simply copy the xxx.img-File to the root of the sd-card?
and then?
Is flashing a other recovery (custom recovery) possible with the original software?
The only thing I I have done is to unlock HBOOT.
The WFs is still S-ON.

My problem is the same. Same configuration for me, but no recovery boot is possible, I can see only HTC logo nothing more. You can try to make zip file with recovery image and name it |PG76IMG.zip|, place it into SD card root and boot into bootloader. But it did not work for me at all. But U can try.

Did you make a GoldCard of your microSD first, before putting the PG76IMG.zip file on the microSD? If not try creating it as a GoldCard, put the PG76IMG.zip file on it and boot to hboot.

zip file has been parsed, and then I choose update in menu and it finished OK. then I wanted to boot into recovery but still nothing happened.
Does the phone boot? Did you try hard reset of the phone?

You can re-install the original recovery.img file.
I just wounder if the newer H-boot are doing some sort of signature check of the img file and that's why they fail.

yes, the original recovery is the only one which is booting (symbol of smartphone with a red triangle with exclamation mark.
But with the original recovery, I can't flash something to get permanent root.
Permanen root, this is the only thing I want.
I dont unterstand why this is so difficult to get this.

Maybe if you could(do not know) down grade your H-boot to 1.03.XXX then it would allow the CWM recovery to be properly installed. Just a thought.

I don't understand why only I have this problem. I think many people with the same device have the same software and noboday else says something.
It's a lot of effort because I have to install 2 times everything because at the moment there is no opportunity to make a full backup
I found some postings which says that downgrading software for WFs would be not possible. The only thing would be to cheat the number of the version but then it's still the same software on the device.
Are there other things that I can do?

Find a cell shop by you and have them S-off the phone with a XTC-clip. Then you will be able to do what ever you want to the phone.

it isn't just you with this problem there are a few of us who flash clockwork mod and can't boot into recovery no idea why either and there is no answer for it. my next attempt is to s-off the phone. I've tried everything you have done as well. just thought I would let you know your not alone mate.

Can you access recovery via the hboot menu?
If not, have you tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot?
Also, and this would help the most, how did that happen? I mean: did something go wrong while flashing some zip or radio? Please explain a bit further so it can be easier to help you out...

Cant access recovery it just gives me the white htc screen
I havent tried flashing a new recovery via fastboot because I dont know how, how do ya do it?
And as to how it happened I was using unrevoked to flash amonra recovery it and it was "rebooting" but then it said an error about couldnt write to misc or something and the phone was stuck on htc white screen, tried rebooting and nothing, recovery nothing.
So yh i think flashing a new recovery will do the trick, linky to a guide?
Thanks for the quick reply!

I see...well imho flashing a new recovery could do the trick for you.
First of all let me know this: have you got s-off? If so you can use fastboot commander to flash it, very easy and fast.

s-off? hmm dunno lol
I originally rooted using goldcard method and flashed the rooted zip then many different roms since. recently used unrevoked to get clockworkmod recovery which was working fine and flashed a new rom and then tried unrevoked again to get amonra but then i got to this situation
Hope this helps
Get the RUU your Desire came with and go back to that. Then start again
I have s-on and tried ruu's but failed as have no working goldcard and i have 1.21 on phone and the voda ruu that my phone came with is 1.19
Ive tried the PB99IMG.zip method but that just shows main version higher error is there a way to trick this stage?
I'd just stick to using a stock WWE ROM until the 2.10.161.2 RUU shows up (if at all)
whats the diff between RUU and PB99*.zip? I have the same problem also. Cant access clockworkmod.
Im thinking of flashing it again using PB99 in hboot then root again. Or how can we flash the recovery?
No difference, just that an RUU needs Windows. Both wipe the phone and reset it back to 'out the box'
I see so I can flash PB99 in HBOOT(transfer pb99 to sdcard) then root again?
Or is there another way I can access the recovery or flash the recovery?
Thanks
Just flash the zip from hboot and then root again with unrevoked. Then set the phone up again as it'll be wiped

Thanks! It worked. I'll root it using unrevoked then, how do I make that clockworkmod recovery permanent or something?
When you use unrEVOked it flashes Clockwork Mod as your recovery so it'll be permanent (unless you unroot again)
This might work for of you
WAIT, BEFORE YOU START, CREATE A GOLDCARD. IT IS VERY NECESSARY. THINGS WILL GO WRONG IF YOU DONT.
EDIT: YOU MUST BE ABLE TO BOOT GO TO THE BOOTLOADER MENU.
Firstly, download this file. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13240777/Desire Downgrade.ZIP
Extract the files.
Run the win-down.bat file.
Follow on screen instructions.
After the process is completed, Head to the root of your SD card and check if there is a file named P99***IMG (FORGOT THE EXACT NAME BUT IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS) there should be one.
Secondly, disconnect your phone and turn it off.
After that boot up your phone while pressing the volume down button and the power button.
The bootloader should be checking for files after awhile and once it found the file that is supposed to be in the root of your sd card, press the volume up button (NOT EXACTLY SURE, SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT SAYS YES AND CONTINUE)
It should be writing files to your phone. and replaces everything. E.G: HBOOT, RECOVERY,RADIO and such.
It should be writing files successfully and then it would ask you to reboot. Continue with the reboot and you should be having your Desire back to stock. Perfect.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE RISKS INVOLVED LIKE FAILURE OF WRITING TO THE HBOOT. PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. MAINLY, DO NOT BLAME ME FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.
FINALLY, YOU SHOULD BE READING EVERYTHING UP TO HERE AND THAT YOU MUST HAVE A GOLDCARD (A GOLD SD CARD)
Hope this helps you and please ask if you have further questions. PM me if the questions cannot be answered here. Good Luck
you got the error of a higher main version because you did not have a GOLDCARD.
YAY!!! :-D :-D :-D
Managed to fix it!!!
Managed to create a goldcard using my girlfriends ipad clone which runds android then just flashed an ruu :-D

Hi there.
Sorry to jump in on your thread but wondered if you can help. Have the same problem as you and can't create a goldcard as I can't boot up my phone. Could I use a clone of your goldcard if you were kind enough to email it to me or would that not work?
Thanks,
Matt

Im afraid each goldcard has a specific cid used to create the goldcard
My advice is to borrow another android phone/device with sd slot and use it to get your cid. Theres a handy program on the market to get your cid for you, just search for goldcard on market when your sd is inserted.
When you have the cid go on the internet and get your goldcard image. Put ur sd in your comp and do a full format as fat32 and use hxd to turn it into a goldcard.
Thats how I did it! :-D
I was on one of the older Hboots, decided to update that and the radio. I flashed the new Hboot, now it says S-On and it DOES NOT reboot. Everytime I try rebooting, it shows the splash screen and goes right back to the Hboot menu! Can anyone help me?
Try running unrevoked forever from the recovery and it may let you unlock it. If not you may be stuck.
Ok, I got S-off back by unrevoked-forever, but it still doesn't reboot. Anyone have any suggestions?

Go into your recovery and wipe everything then reflash your Rom. If you can't access your recovery flash a recovery image of your choice via bootloader by renaming it PC36IMG and placing it on the root of your SD card then wipe everything and reflash your Rom.

Yeah, I think I had .93 Hboot, maybe should have just stayed with that, I dunno.
if it's bouncing you back to hboot it could be for the same reason it bounces you back to recovery after using a format_all.zip file.
Go find Sprint Lover's 2.3. It comes in a PC36IMG file you can put in the root of your sd card and flash in the bootloader (aka parsing the update).
It's rooted so you'll keep s-off and your phone should boot. Also, once you're booted, download rom manager and put your recovery back
Hope this helps!

Place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip, on your sdcard in no folders and boot to hboot. Wait a few secs and hboot should find the file and prompt you to press vol up to install. This is the latest officially signed ruu, it will wipe everything and get you to compleete stock. There is a way to do it with a pc, but you have to be able to boot the phone to the os for that to work.

It must be named exactly PB31IMG.zip, which it should already be. It must be in no folders. If it still wont work backup and format your sdcard fat32 with a pc and then try again.

I have done this so many times no with multiple microSD cards and a few different PB31IMG.zip files. I can get to hboot and it sees the file, but after checking it it says that there is no image. I tried to flash CWM recovery using fastboot and it says it is successful, however when I try to go to recovery, it restarts the phone and sits on the white screen that says HTC Incredible. It will stay on that screen or continually boot to that screen.
Does anyone have any ideas for me? I don't care which software or ROM I get on here, I just want to get it running!

How do I wipe cash without being able to get to recovery? And pulling the battery only gets me out of the boot loop.
I can get to the HBOOT menu, but if i choose anything other than fastboot it just restarts and get stuck in the loop. I can't connect via adb either.
I'm not super experienced with this stuff, everything I've tried so far comes from somewhere on these forums. Any other help would be appreciated!

You need to back up your sdcard to your pc. Then format the sdcard fat32 with the pc (even if its already fat32). Place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip only back on the sdcard, in no folders named exaxtly PB31IMG.zip which it should already be named. Put the sdcard back in the phone and boot to hboot. It should find the file, parse it, and prompt you to press vol up to install. Once installed remove the PB file from the sdcard and put your backed up files back on the sdcard.

I didn't realize I could erase cache through fastboot! unfortunately, it didn't seem to solve the issue. When i try and erase recovery so that i can flash a new one it tells me in cmd "failed, remote: not allowed". I can flash a new one and it tells me its successful, but when i select recovery from HBOOT it still drops me back into the loop.

Is your bootloader still unlocked? If not unlock it again, and then do the fastboot commands.

This is a great idea. The relock and unlock process went just find but unfortunately it didn't solve the issue.
Thank you guys for your suggestions! please keep them coming! I'm determined to get this to work somehow.

I tried a couple versions of teamwin and couldn't get it to work. Is there a way to install a different version of hboot or would that not make any difference?
I have a htc desire that i used revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery...
however my center button is broken... is there a recovery that uses a different button to select
the options? or do i have to buy a new button for the phone even though i have never used it
(yes my track ball is dead, (really it is stuck in "down" so i disconnected it completely)
( got the phone used free and have been useing it for a while and never missed that button)
i have
revoluyionary cwm v4.0.1.4 and everything else about the phone is still stock.
cant even flash superuser.zip to root it.
thanks for any help
( is there a touch recovery for the desire ???)
(im not a total newbie but its my first htc phone and google has not helped with this question)
btw my phone is
bravo pvt4 ship s-off
hboot-6.93.1002
In my sig you will find a Partition guide. There you will find ways to install 4ext recovery touch. Try it.

Yeah, I just did that also, independent to this thread. It's a revelation - how easy that is, comparing to One X hustle! :good:

i tried the pb99img.zip in the sd card method..
but it quickly flashes the screen where it checks and i think it says wrong file name..
i switch from fastboot to bootloader a few times and that is the best i can read...
ill keep reading. what i can
thank you for the reply and links
(btw im on a linux desktop not windows)
i get error
loading [PB99IMG.nbh]
no image or wrong image!
Hmm.. weird..
Are you rooted? Then use the app method.
Or use fastboot to flash it.

i got the recovery in with fastboot...
i am not rooted yet.. (could not flash superuser zip its on my next to do list.)
not i get this error... i think it might be wrong to format system...so im going to do more reading
ATTN: recovery is in safe mode this is because the following partition is not accessible: "system" Please enter the wipe menu and format system

Hi,
i'm using HTC Desire
Bravo DVT1 ENG S-OFF
HBOOT 0.93.2001 (PB992xxxx)
MICROP-031d
And my phone is rooted, but i am unable to run recovery, i tried flashig via fastboot then with Rom Manager but it still doesn't work. When i try to boot into recovery i stuck at HTC sreen (tried from ADB, Terminal, HBOOT, Rom Manager. Tried with different recoveries for ex. CWM,RA,TWRP,..
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751258
tried all the instructions, but the problem persists .... zip file will be installed through the bootloader but nothing changed and the desire to restart the htc logo when i was trying to boot into recovery
Just a theoretical question, is it possible to root device, s-off and flash hboot without unlocking bootloader via HTC DEV?

Yes. With revolutionary, or alpharev, hboot >1.02.0001
// Edit. DVT1? Hboot 0.93.2001? Interesting
This is one of them special desires out there.
Yeah i noticed that i got this phone rooted with s-off, but recovery is still not working, even the stock recovery wasn't working

Well, you could try flashing a recovery through fastboot. Maybe it will work. If it won't, then flash the 2.3 ruu and restart the rooting process.
ok, i tried to flash RUU, and i have a question, why was my bootloader bypassed? is it normal?
After RUU i tried to flash EXT4 recovery, but when i tried boot into recovery i just get white screen with HTC logo, still same issue
and i am still facing problem with revolutionary etc., waiting for device

you have quite a rare DVT1 device. it would indicate cdma device, but have seen case where it can be gsm as in this thread. is yours a cdma or gsm device (gsm has sim card)?
in that thread the only recovery that would work is RMD recovery, try flashing that through fastboot. i've never used it myself before.
also i've only skim read the first page, also make sure you uninstall rom manager, you don't need it, it's not good for desire.
Big, no HUGE THX mate. finally! my recovery is alive the only working recovery on my device is RMD recovery and my desire is GSM fyi

glad to see you got it working
for whatever reason, RMD recovery is the only compatible one for your rare device (DVT1 and GSM). don't bother switching recoveries as long as RMD can backup, wipe and install roms.
if you're about to install a custom rom which requires sd card partition (most do), we'd normally recommend partitioning sd card with 4ext recovery, but since that doesn't work i'd recommend Gparted.
oh and again, make sure never to use rom manager with desire.
Well everything worked fine, till i faced new issue i haven't found working rom yet, everytime i flash rom i get only HTC splash screen. And i still haven't found fix for it. I am thinking about trying rom for CDMA phone despite the fact that my phone is GSM, but i am not sure what can happen i hope it won't brick my desire
