[Q] Has Android Revolution HD install bricked my phone? [Solved]

Hello All.
This is the first time I have tried to put a custom ROM on an HTC so I am still learning the ropes.
I tried to follow the instructions in the first post. So... In sequence, this is what I did...
HTC One X unlocked with htcdev.com (S-ON) or S-OFF (coming soon)
This seemed to go without a hitch. On the HBoot screen (I think that is what it is called) it tells me I am now unlocked.
ClockworkMod Recovery or 4EXT Touch Recovery (coming soon)
I installed the official version as per the instructions here.
The last instruction that seemed to work successfully was this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
Then I tried
Code:
fastboot reboot
which put me into recovery mode.
<EDIT> The instructions here have now been corrected to:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
</EDIT>
Choosing the reboot option from recovery just bounces me back into recovery mode but I understand from the instructions I should be able to boot into a working phone!
Has something gone wrong?
If I use the volume down + power button I can enter HBoot mode. From here I can select Fastboot. Connecting via USB to my computer seems to work fine, as I see Fastboot USB on my phone, and I when I execute this...
Code:
fastboot devices
I get something like this
Code:
List of devices attached
HTXXXXXXXXXX device
I am now unsure how to continue because I think something has gone wrong and I should have a working phone at this point.
Do I press ahead and try to install the Firmware package from here? Unless this lets me boot into a working phone (which I don’t believe it will), it still leaves me with the problem that for a One X, without a removable SD card I don’t know how to transfer and run the "Super Wipe" script, nor transfer and flash Android Revolution ROM via recovery.
Do I need to do something with
Code:
fastboot flash
?
Please help as she is threatening to dump me for destroying her 2-day-old phone.

It's
Code:
fastboot flash [B]recovery[/B] recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.img
not boot..
Solution for you is to go into bootloader, flash recovery with the command i gave you and then reboot into recovery and install the rom..
After that everything should be ok and your phone will boot into ARHD without any problem.

delete please

It looks like the instructions I followed previously had an error then.
<EDIT> The instructions were incorrect, but have now been corrected </EDIT>
I will follow your instructions. But what about the RUU that is mentioned in the instructions? It is not clear how or when I should flash it. Presumably I flash the RUU before I do the ARHD flash... ???

You don't need to flash any RUU or firmware unless your phone wasn't shipped with 1.26, which i don't think it was.
Just try flashing the recovery with the correct command and then the rom. If your phone doesn't boot after that then you may try the firmware but i'm sure you won't need it.

So, I understand that you are telling me:
Flashing CWM recovery will rectify my current problem and restore my phone to a workable state.
Booted normally, I can copy the ARHD ROM to the internal SD (not sure what the location for this will be).
I then reboot into recovery and 'Install Zip from SD card'.

Good advice, I am sure. However my problem now is getting into a working phone so that I can transfer the ROM onto the internal SD.
Can't wait to get home and try it!

what you have done is replaced your boot sector with a recovery image, that is the reason why you cant boot your phone as normal so even flashing the recovery correctly will not allow your phone to boot up.
as your phone cannot boot up you cannot transfer any files to the internal memory of your phone in order to flash ARHD
at present there is a problem with the official version of ClockworkMod Recovery so i personally would reccommend using the interim version HERE
and flash with fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-endeavoru.img
As you have [email protected]$ked your boot partition up you will also want to download THIS
this is an insecure boot image (thanks to paul from modaco) I have just extracted the part you will need from his package
with this you will need to be in fastboot again and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
obviously you will need to copy both of the files to the same directory as fastboot is on your PC in order to send them
by flashing the boot section with the insecure boot here it will allow your phone to boot up normally again, once it has booted normally you can then copy the ARHD and superwipe to your internal SD card
to access recovery
power off phone by holding power button for 10seconds
power on with power+voldown
select recovery from hboot screen with voldown then power to select
your phone will reboot and then you will be in recovery
do a nandroid backup incase anything goes wrong
then flash the superwipe script
then flash ARHD 1.2.2
all is good

You are correct of course, however, there comes a point where the only way to learn is to actually do something. I have flashed numerous ROMS on my Galaxy S, and before doing this I have read numerous guides trying to better understand the procedures for HTC devices.
I have tried to follow what appeared to be a step-by-step guide, however, either there has been a malfunction, or it appears there may be two important bits of information missing from that guide:
Flashing CWM recovery leaves the phone in a state that it won't boot normally, and consequently...
The ARHD ROM should be loaded onto the internal SD at the very beginning of the procedure

Thanks all of you so much for your effort. It's much appreciated.

@bagofcrap24 I may have misled you with a typo in the first post. (See my edit)
d'oh

edit : just read updated info
so what happens when you choose recovery and press power from the hboot screen
i'm understanding that when doing a normal reboot it just sends you straight into hboot?
power on with voldown
press voldown to select recovery
press power to select recovery
you should either see CWM or the stock recovery
again looking at what you have written, if you just do a normal reboot and its putting you straight into recovery then you probably have flashed recovery onto the boot partition

I get a circular yellow 'recycling' symbol, followed a few seconds later by a magenta triangle with an exclamation mark. (Is this the stock recovery?). Then the phone restarts and I end up back in the Clockworkmod recovery.

No. A normal reboot (without holding the Vol down key) sends me straight to clockworkmod recovery.
I can get to HBoot with Vol down+Power on startup.

Right this means you did mess up the boot and recovery partitions, the one where you have the exclamation mark is the stock recovery which means you didn't flash cwm to the recovery partition.
the fact that you get to recovery on a normal boot also suggests as I suspected that you have flashed recovery on to the boot partition, follow the instructions I put up earlier about flashing the boot.IMG and redo the recovery.IMG and you should be fine

Your analysis is quite correct. All is indeed good! Thanks very much. The boot image worked as described. I will now transfer Superwipe and the ROM.

Make sure you do a nandroid backup first, it was lucky this time but if you mess up your system partition you may find yourself with no way of putting files on without unrooting and restoring the ruu

HTC ONE X - Screwed up while installing Jelly Bean

Hey Guys, I recently saw the jelly bean update on a youtube video and I tried doing the same thing on my phone, which didn't work very well.
The video was very detailed and explained everything. I did the whole rooting thing and flashing thing. And the last step which involves unzipping the
cm10 zip file or something, when I did that, the phone said installation aborted. I freaked out didn't know what to do and I pressed factory reset.
Now I think my old and new both systems are removed from the phone. When I turn my phone on, It shows the HTC quality brilliant logo stays
there for few seconds and restarts again to the same HTC screen.
I gave the phone to a guy who said he'll try to fix but couldn't. If you guys have any idea please let me know how to fix it. Recently bought the phone
and don't wanna lose it over stupid update.
Thank you!

Make sure you have clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 or newer, if not, flash it:
fastboot flash recovery cwm-5.8.4.0.img
Then get the boot.img for the ROM you want to install and flash it:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then, from recovery, go to mounts and storage and mount as USB. Copy the ROM you want to flash to the drive, unmount and then wipe the cache/dalvik cache and then flash the ROM from recovery.
If you get any errors, post them here.

Hey, Thanks for replying.
From recovery, I checked the clockworkMod Recovery version is 5.8.3.1. So it's old.
Now the thing is, Since I did factory reset and data wipe from the options, the zip files I added before, I can't access them.
And I don't know now how to attach my phone to computer so I can transfer those files.
Please let me know how to flash it, if you have any link to step by step procedure that would be great.
I am attaching few images that I am getting right now.
Also, when I press mount Usb from recovery mode, unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).

Your recovery version has usb mounting problems. Upgrade to 5.8.4.0 and you will be able to mount.

Like I said:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Obviously from a command line, with fastboot in your path, and with the recovery downloaded, etc.

Guys look at his bootloader screen, it says EVITA - AKA DUAL CORE VERSION of the One X. @OP, you cannot install international ROMs on your version of the HTC One X. You're extremely lucky installation was aborted because if it proceeded, it could have hard bricked your device.
What I suggest you do is try flash another custom ROM that's meant for the evita or flash a RUU to return to stock

Honestly, I have no idea how to flash a RUU or find a custom ROM for evita. I'm going to give it to another guy who repairs phones. Hopefully he'll do it. If not, I'll post here again. If you could please post a link that explains how to flash a RUU that would be great.

You need to go into the other forum for your model, try a search.
The way you flash a ruu is enter the mode you are in the pictures, then click fastboot, plug it into your computer after the ruu has downloaded. A ruu is a Rom update utility, it just flashes it all to stock.
It's a program you download onto your computer its an .exe if you're on windows then run it through and it will allow your phone to boot like its brand new.
Baring in mind all personal data will be lost.. but least your phone works.
Also I think if your bootloader is unlocked you need to relock it to run s ruu (I think)
Or you could just flash a Rom from your One X forum by following the instructions keep us updated.

Just go to the One XL forum and search there. You're not the first person to end up in the wrong forum.
Flashing an RUU requires plugging the phone into PC, locking the bootloader and double clicking.

Heyy, I went to the professional who fixes it and he is like I don't have the files so I can't fix it..
So unfortunately I have to do it by my self.
Now, thanks to you, I have searched as you told me and I found the RUU for my carrier which is rogers.
I have found a video that shows how to do it step by step to take it back to ICS. The only problem is that the RUU I found is a zip file, and when I extract it, there are lots of Img files.
But the video shows the RUU as an .exe file. Now I don't know what to do with the zip file.
Please let me know what should I do next. If I could find the .exe file I would have done everything according to the video but I couldn't.
Thanks!

[Q] Flashing boot img from stock to CM10-based ROM

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to flash "codename android jellybean" to my primoc one v.
I have it unlocked and rooted, thanks to xda. Where I get stuck is trying to flash the above ROM to the phone. I have put the ROM, gapps, and jellyboot5 into my SD card, then flashed those zips from clockworkmod recovery. I have put the boot.img I copied from the jellyboot5 folder into my fastboot folder on my PC.
My problem is that when I try to restart the phone from clockworkmod recovery into bootloader, the phone does the nexus animation, then goes straight back into clockworkmod recovery. I can't get to the white screen that gives me the option of choosing fastboot so that I can, in command prompt on my pc, flash the boot img.
I know I must be doing something wrong somewhere.

Hold and keep the power button for 10 second till the screen turns of and as soon as it turns off hold and keep the volume button.... to use see the fast boot...... other way is press and keep the power button and the volume down button for 10 to15 second
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

I was having the same problem I just re started and full wiped and then flashed everything then I used the tool kit to flash the boot.IMG I used to use my cmd prompt but I realized it wasnt even the right boot.IMG flashing as soon as I did the tool kit it worked. Good luck, trust me it did the same thing

I'm trying that but it just sends me right back to clockworkmod recovery. Can I confirm that I did the flashing steps correctly?
0) Wiped
1) flashed ROM
2) flashed GAPPS
3) flashed jellyboot
4) tried to restart into bootloader (but phone goes right back to clockworkmod recovery)
Did I make a mistake somewhere?

If you have ADB set up on your PC, From recovery plug in your phone bring up ADB. Type adb reboot bootloader
Don't try the button thing people have bricked there phone doing the button thing for too long.

Hey Im confused at what stage your at..
if i understand it you've flashed CM10, but *didn't* flash the CM10 compatible kernel... The Stock Kernel isnt compatible with CM.
If this happens one of two things will occur
1. The phone will hang on boot (aka softbrick)
2. the phone will go directly into CWM
I hit the same problem when I first flashed roms on the one v.
You basically need to reboot into the boot loader (flashboot) and flash the new (CM9) compatible kernel from there.
Alterntively if you get totally stuck use the "stockRRU" and recover your phone using that, (see thread on this)

That does sound like what my phone is doing. Initially it went straight into CWM, then it got further but would just hang on the colored "X" nexus animation.
At this point I tried to restore my stock nandroid, but even that wouldn't work, with the phone never getting off the "HTC quietly brilliant beats audio" screen.
As for flashing the correct kernel, was jellyboot5 not the kernel for this CM10 rom? And when I try to restore my stock (ICS) nandroid, does it matter that I've tried to flash a JB kernel, or is the stock kernel also restored?
Thanks for any help.

All right, tried that, phone is still endless stuck in the nexus colored X animation. Will wait another few minutes and then freaking go back to stock using RUU.
Edit: Holy s***, dude, you saved me. I was about to chuck the phone against a wall, until I read that you just did the entire process again, from wiping to flashing the rom, to flashing the boot image using the all-in-one tool. That did the trick. For about ten minutes I was seriously contemplating getting an iPhone. That's how dire this was. Thanks man!!!!!

dude,
ok I'll caveat this by saying I live in the uk so I have a GSM (primoU) not CDMA so I take no responsibility if this goes wrong.,...,
I'm guessing your using the rom in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927794
Reading the thread, here's what I think you should do the following
(Im assuming you've already flashed clockwork mod recovery)
Assumptions
1. You have already unlocked the phone using the HTC unlock procedure
2. You have already installed Clockworkmod recovery
Download the following :
- One All in one toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
- ROM from http://www.mediafire.com/?ldhwd8vki17mbfe
- Kernel from http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/primoc/kernels/JellyBoot5.zip
- CM10 compatible GoogleApps (GAPS) http://cyano-rob.tuennerhoff-edv.de/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
steps
1. Copy the ROM onto the microSD, in a folder called say "rom", do not unzip it
2. Switch phone off by pressing the power down button for 10 seconds or so
3. Disconnect USB from the PC
4. Enter fastboot by first pressing and holding "volume - " and then pressing power button once and keep pressing "Volume - "
>>>>>> DO NOT PRESS "VOLUME+" <<< Important
The phone should reboot into fastboot
5. connect USB to PC
6. select fastboot (using vol +/- and press power)
Fastboot should now say "fastboot USB"
8. Unzip/install the All-In-One toolkit somewhere.. We wont be using it here, but installing this gives you fastboot/adb etc
9. Unzip the kernel from the kernel file, you should have a boot.img and put it in the kernels directory
9. cd <DirectoryOfAllInOneToolKit>/Data directory
10. Issue "fastboot flash boot Kernels/boot.img"
This should say something like sending boot.img, and then flashing boot.img..
11. Reboot phone with fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will bring you back to the fastboot screen, select recovery and that should bring you to Clockwork mod
12. select "install zip from zipfile", then choose-zip from SD Card, select your rom (zipfile) and say flash.
(hint : vol +/- go up down, and power selects)
13. When this is done, then install GAPS in the same way..
14. Finally you need to make sure all the caches and data is wiped. to do this enter the wipe menu and issue "factory reset/wipe data" and wipe dalvik cache
15. Finally select reboot and smile
That should be it! I O
Oh before i forget, the AllInOne package is cool, but as your in a semi brick situation and that all in one requires adb support Im not sure what it will do hence detailing the steps manually above.. For newbies this tutorial is still valid, but you need to unlock your phone first and install CWM . If you are coming from stock I would recommend using the all in one tool (above) GUI as it saves typing!
Hope this helps

dude,
ok I'll caveat this by saying I live in the uk so I have a GSM (primoU) not CDMA so I take no responsibility if this goes wrong.,...,
I'm guessing your using the rom in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927794
Reading the thread, here's what I think you should do the following
(Im assuming you've already flashed clockwork mod recovery)
Download the following :
- One All in one toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
- ROM from http://www.mediafire.com/?ldhwd8vki17mbfe
- Kernel from http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/primoc/kernels/JellyBoot5.zip
- CM10 compatible GoogleApps (GAPS) http://cyano-rob.tuennerhoff-edv.de/GAPPS/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
steps
1. Copy the ROM onto the microSD, in a folder called say "rom", do not unzip it
2. Switch phone off by pressing the power down button for 10 seconds or so
3. Disconnect USB from the PC
4. Enter fastboot by first pressing and holding "volume - " and then pressing power button once and keep pressing "Volume - "
>>>>>> DO NOT PRESS "VOLUME+" <<< Important
The phone should reboot into fastboot
5. connect USB to PC
6. select fastboot (using vol +/- and press power)
Fastboot should now say "fastboot USB"
8. Unzip/install the All-In-One toolkit somewhere.. We wont be using it here, but installing this gives you fastboot/adb etc
9. Unzip the kernel from the kernel file, you should have a boot.img and put it in the kernels directory
9. cd <DirectoryOfAllInOneToolKit>/Data directory
10. Issue "fastboot flash boot Kernels/boot.img"
This should say something like sending boot.img, and then flashing boot.img..
11. Reboot phone with fastboot reboot-bootloader
This will bring you back to the fastboot screen, select recovery and that should bring you to Clockwork mod
12. select "install zip from zipfile", then choose-zip from SD Card, select your rom (zipfile) and say flash.
(hint : vol +/- go up down, and power selects)
13. When this is done, then install GAPS in the same way..
14. Finally select reboot
That should be it! I O

I guess so, however you would need to check each different rom to be sure..
Also cybervibin is right, before rebooting the phone it is recommended to
- go into clockworkmod recovery, wipe menu and wipe data/factory reset
- also wipe dalvik cache

Roger that,
Dalvik cache, is the place where all ur apps cache are stored., of u don't wipe it, in short it will show data if previous rom causing many problems

Cyanogenmod

Hello, I'm new to the forum
I own a Htc One X [International version] and I'd like to install a Cyanogenmod on it
I'm new in this stuff, have never installed any ROM on any device, so I have a few questions
1. Whats the difference between Cyanogenmod 10 and 10.1? [I heard 10 has a battery life issue... is that fixed?]
2. Is there even a 10.1 version for One X?
3. Is there a safe way to Root the device? and if there isn't, is there a way to fix the phone in case of a screw up? I've never done this before and I'm quiet scared I'll screw up and turn my phone into a 500$ Brick ><
As I mentioned I'm generally new at this, so any tips or guides on the matter would help me
Thanks in advance

1. CM10 is based on android 4.1.2 whereas 10.1 is based on 4.2.1
I'm a die hard CM user and never had any problems with battery life.
2. Under development
3. I recommend the all in one tool kit, which is stickied at android development board of one x.
Don't worry, it is almost impossible to brick a device in an unrecovable state.
Just do not flash roms meant for other devices e.g. at&t one x (evita)

Thanks for the fast reply
I downloaded the all in one toolkit, and, well, I can't understand any of it ... xD
How do I root my device with this?

Note: back up sdcard just in case before beginning.
Just go through the steps in order starting with installing drivers.
(upper left hand corner)
Go through the htcdev unlocking process.
Once bootloader is unlocked, flash CWM (upper right hand corner)
No need to root separately because nearly all custom roms are rooted out of the box including cm10.
I do not have access to the toolkit at the moment so I can't give accurate instructions but I'll check back later tonight.
If you run into problems feel free to ask in this thread.

I thought that in order to install a custom rom you have to have your phone rooted ... isn't that so?
And if it isn't, then is it enough to unlock booatloader flash CWM and then install CM10? [Which I have no idea how to do also xD]
Thanks again for your reply, sorry for asking that many questions, Its just that I'm new at this and fear for my device :3

That's correct, I'll throw in some noob-proof instructions once you get cwm installed
Forgot to mention: charge your battery at least 70% so you don't get screwed in middle of flashing.
Ps. There is a thanks button right under my posts so if it's not too much effort...

0. Do a backup in CWM. Then copy it to pc just to be extra safe. (sdcard/clockworkmod/backups)
1. Download rom and gapps. If CM, grab the latest here. Google apps here.
2. Download the attached fastboot files and extract them where ever you want.
3. Open the downloaded [instertromnamehere].zip and copy boot.img from it to fastboot folder.
4. Copy [instertromnamehere].zip to sdcard.
5. Put phone to fastboot mode by holding power and volumedown. Then connect via usb cable to pc. On the phone screen you should see fastboot usb¨
6. Open fastboot prompt by holding shift and right clicking anywhere in the fastboot folder. Then select open command prompt here.
7.type
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see your serial number listed.
Type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
followed by
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Congrats! You have succesfully installed CM boot.img, now to rom flashing -->
8. Disconnect phone and in the bootloader menu select recovery
9. In recovery tap install zip from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard --> choose [instertromnamehere].zip. Next flash the gapps-jb-xxx.zip the same way.
10. In recovery wipe cache, dalvik cache and battery stats. ---> reboot.
You should see the CyanogenMod spinner and eventually boot.

0. In recovery tap backup and restore, then backup. The folder should pop up. And DO NOT skip this it is important.
5. You apparently held the buttons for too short time...
Hold until you get to a whitish screen with android figures in the bottom. Do not let go if phone vibrates. Do not let go if you see htc quietly brilliant screen. :good:
Pro Tip:
You can also use these fantastic adb commands once phone is booted up and usb debugging is enabled in developer settings.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
to get to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot recovery
to get to recovery

Now I'd recommend you to back up the new rom too in recovery.
Installing a ROM in general:
Install ROM.zip in recovery. (And gapps if needed)
Wipe cache, dalvik and battery stats.
Flash boot.img using fastboot commands. Note: every rom has its own boot.img
Done
Any more questions?
Enjoy your CyanogenModded phone, mate! :victory:

[Q] General Assistance on HTC Desire A8181

I just got an HTC Desire A8181, and it is my very first time using an Android Device. The thing is that I already know that you can do a lot of things with Android devices (thats why I swapped from iOS to Android). Now here is my point, I basically need to know:
Basics about software and OS customizing for Android.
Basic things to know before do anything to my phone.
Tutorials for root the device (HTC Desire A8181)
Want to know if it is possible to make the phone work faster in terms of Manage the Processor and Ram Usage, how to do it, and understand the process.
And any other information that could be useful in order to make my phone work a lot better (take into consideration that I'm new with the OS and the phone, so there are a lot of things that I dont know about this theme.)
I also want to know if it is possible to install the latest Android Version on my HTC Desire and make it work fast.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

The desire comes with sense 2.3 gingerbread. Sense is HTC's skin that they overlay ontop of the android operating system. Although it may look nice (doesnt really look that good to me), it is heavy and causes decreases in performance. When you s-off your device, and install a custom recovery you will be able to flash an aosp based custom rom. Aosp = android open source project, and basically means stock pure android...nothing running on top. As you can probably predict, this will result in faster speeds, less ram usage, and better battery. I think that answers the first few questions.
Next Ill move on to how to root it (make your phone good). I honestly think the term "root" is deceiving to most new users. I see people asking "how do i root my phone", but i think what they really want is to install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Being rooted on stock rom is pointless to me. Custom roms are where the good stuff is at.
Post your bootloader details here and ill walk you through the process. To get these details turn the phone off, then hold power + volume down until the phone boots into the bootloader. It should look similar to this. Post all of the first couple of lines at the top. The whole process summarized is this: s-off, install custom recovery, flash custom rom
There are also some other things that i would recommend doing so that you can have extra space for apps (you probably noticed you barely have any space at the moment), but ill get to that later when i give you more instructions.

Thanks for response so fast!

Nope, just your bootloader details for now.

Please tell me that I did not ****ed my phone
Ok so here is my problem now on, I tried to flash the CyanogenMod, but I dont know if i ****ed my phone or im just missing something...
Here is what I did:
1- I followed the instructions on another thread about the HTC_Unlock_Bootloader_Tool in order to unlock the bootloader.
2- I copied the CM-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip file into the sd card manually and also by using the "adb push" command.
But now my phone turns on, but every time that I try to access the Recovery option from the Fastboot menu just gives me an icon of the phone with a red advertise sign and then I press "Volume Up + Power" and got access to some sort of recovery options... But cannot go further than that... What can I do? Please tell me that I did not ****ed my phone?

When u unlock the bootloader u must then flash recovery via fastboot commands. In my sig ul see 4ext recovery as PB99IMG, download and extract the recovery.img and flash via fastboot. U can find a fastboot guide in bortaks troubleshooting guide (in my sig also)

Thanks for your response.

Ok so here is my new actual situation, cause I went to sleep at 3.00am just to keep working with the phone...
After check within some forums and stuff I realized that there was an app called ROM Manager that can flash the Recovery and also the ROM (Cyanogenmod is the one I want to install), I started researching for another way to do it since every single time that I tried to start in FastBoot and use the recovery option in order to flash anything I just got a black screen with an icon that seems to be the same phone with a red alert sign on its corner (icon which i really did not like at all!!!), so I started checking for another way to work with this and found ROM Manager, but when the app was installed and I tried to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery but ROM Manager was giving an error related with permissions, I thought that my HTC Desire was already Rooted since it said "*** Unlocked ***" on the Fastboot menu (My fault!) but I realized that it is not Rooted after download the Root Checker app from the Store... So basically here is the case resumed: Fastboot "Unlocked" (Via easy unlocker tool), ROM Manager App (Installed but no permissions to Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery nor CyanogenMod ROM), Root Checker App (Installed and seems that my phone is not rooted)... How do I need to proceed now on???
Thanks in advance for all your help! I never thought that Android were this complicated, but I like it ****ing so much!!! So I think that it is most likely a beginner issue

Well, to root it, you need to flash a Superuser zip from recovery. To flash it, you need a custom recovery. To get a custom recovery, you do what @jmcclue said 2 posts above.

Hahahahaha yeah sorry about that but I'm working so it is difficult to be on the phone talking about Hard Drives and troubleshoot them, while trying to figure out whats going on with my phone hahahahaha
So Basically and if I'm not mistaken (hopefully not, let me know if I am) I need to do the following:
-Download and Flash the 4eXT Recovery as PB99IMG from the previous response: After download the file can I go to CMD and use "adb reboot bootloader" then "adb fastboot flash recovery PB99IMG.zip" (that must flash the recovery right?)
-Then I need to Flash the Superuser from a Zip file: By accessing the new Recovery Interface installed previously, wipe chache / install from sd card / install from zip (that must root my device right?)
-After that I should be able to turn on my phone as normal and use the ROM Manager in order to Flash the CyanogenMod 7.2 right?
Sorry that I bother all of you in this way with so many question and ****, but I really want not only to flash my drive but also to learn about the process and what I'm doing to my phone... Thanks for everything.

Yes thats what you should do. If that doesnt work you would try flashing the recovery via fastboot.
When you go into recovery right now and see the red warning thing, that is normal. It is the stock recovery, which makes sense because you havent installed a custom recovery yet. Once 4ext is installed you will no longer see that screen.

I forgot you weren't S-off. Pardon me.
Do this:
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
Then extract the .img file from the PB99IMG zip, and put it on your C drive, do the path would be C://recovery.img.
Then, open CMD, connect your phone in fastboot mode, and use this command:
fastboot flash recovery C://recovery.img

Unlocked does not mean s-off. You are Unlocked, but S-on. Just flash the recovery through fastboot, like jmcclue originally said.

Some good news
Sello I'm glad to let you know that finally I got my phone.cpletely flashed with the CM7 and this works just great... the only thing that I were not able to do is to partition my 4Gb SD card to assign 1Gb as phone extension and the rest as external storage...
Can you help me with this last thing, I just used a previous post...
With the 4ext recovery y created a first partition of 1024Mb as the ext of the system but my phone does not sees it, it keeps saying that only have 140Mb total as internal
