Let your rom boot. Connect the phone to your computer. In your computer go into command line. Then in command line navigate to the folder where the adb.exe is stored. If you have adb.exe in C:\android then you will type "cd C:\android". Then type "adb reboot bootloader". Type without quotation marks. This is the most reliable way how to boot into bootloader. You should have known this by now if you seriously want to be a developer.
You can also create a .bat file to execute the script. To do this create a text file and type there first line: "adb kill-server second" line: "adb reboot bootloader". Without quotiation marks of course. Then save the text file. Then make sure you can see the known extensions in windows and change the extension of the file to .bat. Put the file in the folder with adb and you only need to double click it to reboot into bootloader. You can create a shortcut to the file that you can put into your desktop.

Thank you but it worked this time

Just for curiosity, what does adb kill-server second do/mean? I mean, can't only adb reboot bootloader do ??

That will kill the first server IF you have one opened, in order to let the new one to work (the one to reboot bootloader). It is a safe state to say the least because if you have one adb shell opened and you want to run the .bat that will open another shell, it won't work. And that's why you need the adb kill-server second .

Put cwmod on the root of your sd card. Download terminal emulator from the market. In terminal emulator type
su
press enter
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameofrecovery.img
press enter
Replace nameofrecovery with whatever the name of the file is.
When you reboot into recovery it should be cwm 3.0.0.5 (should be amber font)

it shows file not found, even when i write the name of the file.
From the htc stock rom, you need to do it from your pc using fastboot. It won't work with terminal emulator.
Which rom are you running?
Do you have adb installed on your pc?
If you have fastboot, put the recovery.img in the tools folder of your sdk, start up your phone to the bootloader, connect your phone with the usb cable then open a command promt, navigate to the tools folder and type
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Press enter then type
fastboot reboot
Should take aboot 5 seconds

if you mean the commands that is written in cmd, then i have already tried it, and it failed.
In the command prompt, navigate to your sdk then type
Adb devices
Press enter
Your device's serial number should show
Then type
Adb shell
Press enter
If you get a $ type su then press enter
Then enter the same commands you used in terminal emulator
Why do you want cwm 3? It's generally only for 2.3 roms.

I just installed it now thats why i want it, but do you know how i get back to the older cwm? do i just flash it in ROM manager?
Excellent. What worked finally?
To go back to an older version use rom manager or the use same way you upgraded.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You could try this, i haven't tried it myself so don't know if it works, but read it somewhere here on xda.
Go to this path with any file manager.
/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries
And copy that file to another folder. Then copy the name of that recovery (2.x.x.x) and then rename your 3.0.0.5 recovery with the old recovery name and just copy the new (2.x.x.x) to this path. (Just say yes to overwriting the file).
/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries
Then reboot and then boot into recovery and that should have changed the cwm from old to new. The color should be orange now and not green, if still green it didn't work.
If it doesn't work just restore the old recovery .img you've copied earlier (2.x.x.x).

[Q] fastboot on linux (ubuntu)

hi guys, i'm really sorry if this is really simple, but i just cant get my head around it and i've been googling for ages and i just keep getting more and more confused.
i'm basically trying to get fastboot enabled on my ubuntu linux install (11.04). would someone please explain to me in simple terms how to get it installed and running on linux, please? from the start would be great, as i find it harder to carry on half way through something. i appreciate the help. you guys are awesome
As soon as I get on my computer at home, i'll outline the steps and attach fastboot

Fastboot on Linux
I too had issues when I switched from Linux to windows (recently) and here's how I got it (just for documentation)
1) I downloaded android-sdk for linux, did the installs, but lo and behold, there was no fastboot...
2) Searched google for about 45 minutes
3) Finally figured out that HTC had it in their development website
4) Downloaded & chmod'd it so it'd work
5) Figured out that the r800x really can't be unlocked via all my attempts (so far...)
Here's a step by step as to how to get it without my hassle.
1) Attached is fastboot, download it, extract it (you can do this later in terminal if you feel like it, or you can do it now in the file explorer)
2) Open up terminal (if you don't have a shortcut for it, make one, it's the most useful thing in linux. ever.)
3) Type in su, enter your password (if you have it setup) and become root. (Or, you could call sudo whenever it is necessary, it's your preference)
4) goto the folder you downloaded fastboot to in terminal (the default chrome download place is /home/[insert your username here]/Downloads)
5) type in chmod [your preference for setting permissions here] fastboot
6) type in (sudo) cp fastboot /bin/
7) now you can call fastboot from anywhere in the terminal!!
This can also be done with adb
Any questions??

Honestly, I don't know.
That being said, try copying all the extra stuff from where it is currently to another location, and try running adb and fastboot, if it works, delete the extra stuff, if it doesn't, don't mess with it

For linux I found I had to add the "-i 0x0fce" before my commands or else Id be left with the waiting for device, try this:
fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version
Also you may have to make the file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
With this inside (note that 0fce is the idVendor for SE):
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"
That being said I think this accomplishes the same thing as just putting the -i 0x0fce before your command
I navigated to /etc/udev/rules.d. but I cannot create file.

Please help.. getting error when i try to fastboot flash 4.0.2!

i just used fastboot-windows... to unlock the bootloader. But when i enter into the command prompt 'fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img' it says 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command.. i downloaded all the 4.0.2 files into the root of my hard drive what am i doing wrong? im stuck at the command prompt now lol
You don't have your paths set up. Change your environmental variables to include the folder that contains fastboot. It could also be that need to type "fastboot-windows" instead of "fastboot" depending on where you got it from.
Try "fastboot-windows flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img"
The command for Windows is "fastboot-windows ................"

//edit: too latee
It's only that if using the edited fastboot files. I have my system variables set up so I can run fastboot/adb from any location. A lot easier

Fastboot isn't dependent on Android SDK, Choose a place for fastboot to live (C:\Program Files\Android - perhaps?) then right click on MyComputer, Properties, Advanced and there should be an environment variables settings button somewhere, click edit and append the location to the end of the line, e.g. C:\Windows\System32;C:\Program Files\Android
This will allow you to call fastboot from whatever directory you're currently working from within command prompt.

then load adb.exe via cmd e.g shift + right click - open command window here.
