hey everyone, i have an sim free desire HD that was rooted and s-off and has been running like that for a while. recently i tried to access clockwork mod to try and flash a new rom but when i did so the recovery does not load. Its just stuck on the htc splash screen, it doesnt even say quietly brilliant. The phone still works but i cannot access recovery. I tried the following procedure in fastboot to re flash the recovery
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recoveryCWM.img
fastboot reboot
after doing this it still has not worked. Any suggestions or a certain fix would be brilliant.
Thanks
You can put the PD98IMG.zip from my downgrade post to your SD card and reboot to bootloader, it will flash you the 1.32 stock ROM and you can start from a clean table.
use an older version of recovery

I had the same problem, with clockwork 3.0.0.6 ... I then flashed 3.0.0.5 (see the bottom of the Rom manager Menu that proposes you to use former recovery roms). I could solve my problem that way.
Somehow got into a boot loop when flashing new CM10 rom, can get back into bootloader which you think would then make it easy to get into recovery but the recovery flashes on screen for 1/10th of a second and then tries to boot. Any help or suggestions? Thanks.
EDIT: Managed to get back into recovery by reflashing it
Hey guys,
I have got a problem , My desire can enter in Hboot mode fine but after pressing recovery mode ,it gets stuck on Boot logo ie HTC logo!!
Wat can be the problem?
thanks in advance!!:good:
Which recovery are you using?
I suppose you're using 4ext, as I see it in your signature.
Does it get stuck when booting to recovery from bootloader only? Or you can't enter recovery at all?
Did you try re-flashing recovery, or flashing other recovery? CWM or other version of 4EXT?

thnx for the reply man, sorted out the problem by flashing recovery again!!:good:
So, my wife's Droid Incredible, went into a bootloop. It was completely stock, no modifications done, but while she was using it, it just started rebooting over and over again..it won't get past the first splash screen without rebooting.
At first, I thought it might have overheated, but evidently this is not the problem.
So I've been messing with it..I am able to get it into hboot (version 1.07), which I was able to unlock through hdev. I tried flashing CWM through fastboot, but the phone won't boot into recovery.
So could someone direct me to how to fix it? If I could put a stock image on the sdcard that hboot would install, would that work? Where would I find this image?
Thanks in advance.
Here is the information in hboot:
UNLOCKED
INCREDIBLEC XC SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.07.0000
MICROP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.10.12.20

So you "tried" flashing CWM through fastboot. What exactly did you do, and what, if any, was the error? And how are you trying to get into recovery?
If you flash the recovery correctly, you should be able to get into recovery.

Okay, I did flash the recovery, with fastboot flash recovery. To boot into recovery, I am going back to the bootloader and selecting recovery. What happens is the device reenters bootloop at that point.
Update: I have now tried using PB31IMG.zip from here http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.2/ by putting onto Fat32 sd card which then does get installed in hboot. When trying to boot the system, the bootloop is unchanged. However, now when I try to boot recovery, instead of looping, the boot freezes on the htc incredible splash screen.

Sounds like your recovery flash didn't take. Try putting this file on the root of a FAT32 formatted sdcrard, and then try to get into recovery.

Thanks for the help. So I went into hboot, hboot found the file, reflashed the recovery, then tried to boot into recovery but the same bootloop occurs. The splash screen htc incredible splashes, it goes black, vibrates, and splashes again until I pull the battery.
Is there anything else to try? Could I somehow replace the bootloader?
So I've tried a few more things now, still no joy -- using fastboot, I issued the following commands to flash an RUU
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <name.zip>
However, the flash always fails.
I have also tried to use fastboot to erase the recovery.
fastboot erase recovery
Strangely, it fails when I do this, although it reports that it works when I tell it to flash a recovery image. Although I still can't boot into recovery.
However, I finally got hboot to flash one of the system roms by putting it on the sdcard (4.08.605.15 ) . Strangely enough, this worked only after I relocked the bootloader with fastboot. However, after this the situation remains unchanged.
I was flashing the MaximusHD ROM with the new layout and in the middle of flashing my HOX rebooted and got stuck in a boot loop and now when I try to boot into recovery it just shows the splash screen of the recovery and reboots again and goes into a bootloop. I only have access to the bootloader. Please if someone can help as soon as possible I would be highly grateful.

Tried it. Doesn't work. Tried flashing another recovery. Tried factory reset from bootloader. Nothing seems to work. It still won't boot into recovery.
