Can’t Boot into Recovery - HTC Wildfire S

I have unlocked and rooted my Wildfire S. I then installed ROM Manager Premium, I used it to install Clockworkmod 5.0.2.8. It says that the Recovery is installed but I can’t boot into the Recovery menu. Is there an alternative Recovery I can try or some troubleshooting I can do with the Clockworkmod?

Go to HBOOT menu on Phone, select 'Fastboot' option and connect to PC.
Copy Cwm img file into the SDK Tools dir (ex: C:\android)
go to C:\android using cmd
Now flash CWM using fast boot commands.
ex: fastboot flash recovery ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8.img
This will flash your recovery now.
Hope this may be useful, (If really press 'Thanks")

Thanks

I tried that with the following two commands:

My model number is: usccadr6230us
Is that the Wildfire S CDMA? So the right file is the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvelc.img I’m guessing.
In any case neither of the two recovery images will let me boot into the recovery. Any other ideas? Is there another recovery image I can try?

Just remove the ROM Manger from apps, Switch off, Remove replace battery and try again..... might work!

I uninstalled both the rom manager and the license and then flashed the recovery again, still nothing. It will go to the white HTC screen for a couple mins and then reboot again and then boot normally. Is CWM the only recovery image for the marvelc I can try?

Please help if you can!!

Why would you use such an ancient version of clockworkmod? You want 5.8.4.0, then you can mount SD card from recovery. And charge. Both good things
Try to install Android revolution ,then if you want follow going to stock threat :reboot to bootloader and flash rom boot.img , erase cache , boot into recovery bootloader->hboot->recovery or if it dont work try to flash recovery again than do full wipe and flash rom.zip
You can now boot system

@ms0, I installed the Android Revolution, but I didn't understand your instructions properly.
Thanks for the messages so far, I am still very stuck
1) go into recovery
2) mount storage as USB.
When you're in fastboot it won't show in adb - you need android running for that
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Adb only work when booted in system.
Sdcard mount can work in system and recovery.
To install recovery or system you can use fastboot command in bootloader
(Phone connected to USB and in bootloader-fastboot
Tab.)
To enter bootloader just shut down your phone (hold power for 10sec)and hold both vol- and power button.
When you are in bootloader on your computer you can run
Fastboot flash recovery -filename-.img
to flash recovery
Fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash rom kernel (you must also do fastboot erase cache ).
When this is done on your phone you can go to main bootloader screen and from there you can enter recovery and flash rom itself. Now you should be able to boot system and check usb debuging in settings . You should now be able to connect to adb if this don't work make sure you have proper drivers on your computer (HTC sync manager and Android sdk.)

Does anyone have an idea about what I'm doing wrong? I'm stuck.
Okay. Now I unlocked bootloader. I think the problem was USB-debugging was not turned on.
Trying to run clockworkmod, but keep getting error messages:
"you must root your phone for ROM manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su".
When I try to flash clockworkmod recovery I get the following error:

My deviced is with unlocked bootloader, buy of course still S-ON. I understood from the threads around that that's not a problem.

Hi, what you need to do is go into your bootloader as you usually do, Volume - and Power Button, plug your USB and go into fastboot USB. Then you need to create a file on you C: drive called "fastboot" and put the following files in there "adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll & fastboot.exe" and your recovery image, I suggest you use the offical clock work mod recovery which is available here,
if you do not have these files you can download them from here,
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474956
once you do this then open a command dos window by typing cmd in the start search box of windows.... once the command window opens go to the right folder of C:\fastboot> where you saved the files.
Then as your phone is in fastboot USB and you are in the command window C:\fastboot>, type in the command window the following,
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Then press enter, what you should see is the below,
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
sending 'recovery' (2224 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY
If you follow the above then you should have clockworkmod recovery, you can then take the USB out and go back to the hboot in you bootloader and choose recovery under hboot by navigating with the volume button and power button.
I do need to inform you though that if you are one of the unlucky WFS owners that get the "Black Screen Recovery" issue where you go into recovery and you only get a black screen and you tactile buttons are on then you need to follow the bellow method to be able to see you recovery on you PC screen than on your phone.

I know all this as I had the same issue and this helped me. Now I feel that I need to inform you about other issues... When you unlock the bootloader you can't flash a ROM and then just switch your phone on and it boots into the new ROM, there is a process you need to follow.
When you choose your ROM, and not all ROMs work with the Wildfire S new batch of phone as I had to find out the hard way, you need to flash your ROM and then open the .zip file of your phone copy the boot.img of the ROM paste it in the c:\fastboot> directory and again in the command window type,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You will see the below,

Then type,

And your phone will reboot into the new ROM allow 10 to 15 minutes... BE PATIENT.

HELP. HOX is dead

Hello
Yesterday i unlocked bootloader on htc one x. Then i tried to root it but when i finished my hox did reboot and then reboot all the time. It goes on start screen of android and then reboot again. I cant do anything. Any idea or help?
How did you root it?
Did you flash a ROM without flashing its boot.img and fastboot erase cache?
Did you install a custom recovery?
What screen are you stuck on? "htc quietly brilliant"?
I remember when this happened to me when I first tried to root my phone (First Android phone actually) lol I freaked out.. In my case it's because I didn't make a full wipe after unlocking bootloader and flashing Cyanogen, just booted into Recovery, full wipe/wipe cache and it worked.
Tell us what you did like BenPope said, did you flash the boot.img for the ROM you installed?
the first i did was to unlock bootloader from htcdev. Afther that i tried to root by a guide from this forum:
ALTERNATE ROOT METHOD - 'INSECURE BOOT AND ROOT'
This zip file contains an insecure boot image to flash to your device and a script which will then push the root (SuperSU) files to your device. This is only tested on 1.27.401.2 / 1.27.401.7. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download
InsecureBootAndRoot r3 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: a16bff582cb0e25fd3b422652d753ca7
How to use InsecureBootAndRoot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the InsecureBootAndRoot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-insecure-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-mac.sh' followed by './install-insecure-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-linux.sh' followed by './install-insecure-linux.sh'
The device will now flash the new boot image and reboot. Keep the device attached to USB and when it has rebooted, ensure USB debugging is enabled - the SuperSU files will then be installed.
CONVENTIONAL ROOT METHOD - 'SUPERBOOT' (currently not functioning on shippping devices).
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
Download
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: c79821d5d75d57dff8a5ffe7493241fd
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash' but it IS a permanent root in all other regards!).
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
That was the steps. I didnt tried to put a custom rom yet. And the worst is that i need my number and i dont have an another device with micro sd. :/
It's funny, because there are two methods that you've pasted there. I have to ask, why did you not go with the recommended one? The one you didn't paste here?
Try it, you might like it.

I tried the first one and after i saw that my hpox rr all the time i tried the second one.
You mean this method?
EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'
The easiest way to get root is now to install the official ClockworkMod release and then flash the latest SuperSU zip file. This approach is highly recommended (I also recommend running a backup as soon as you've flashed clockworkmod!)
I do now and nothing. Cant get the command.
I don't understand what "my hpox rr all the time" means.
At the top of your hboot does it say ENDEAVORU or EVITA?
What does "can't get the command" mean?
Edit: ahh, is it "command not found" when you try to run fastboot?

You could just flash a rooted rom and kernel now, it should work fine.
Flash this recovery http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Install a rom from recovery, you can mount usb from recovery to copy rom to phone.
Then flash the kernel from fastboot that acompanies the rom.

ENDEAVORU is good.
I kind of expected you to be flashing clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 as the recovery.
Once that's done, you take a backup, download the SuperSU zip file, boot into recovery, mount sd as USB, copy the zip onto the SD card, unmount and flash it.

I dont know what you flashed, but you'd be better off with the latest clockworkmod, version 5.8.4.0
Doing a backup from that recovery is easy.
What I dont get is why you didn't just root/unlock bootloader via htcdev.com

[Q] I'm worried I killed my phone

I decided earlier today that I'd try to root my one X, but I wound up screwing up to the point that I'm lost. I accidentally wiped the system while in recovery, and when I rebooted, it kept looping. By pressing the power/down button, I can get into the bootloader, and from there into recovery. In the recovery, I was able to look around using a file manager but only found empty folders.
I used adb push to try to get a rom onto the phone, but I'm not able to flash it. When I go to reboot, it informs me that there's no OS installed.
If anybody has any idea what I can do, it would be much appreciated.
im assuming you already unlocked your phone
1.Enter fastboot by holding power + volm down.
2.Select fastboot
3.plug in USB
4.flash recovery with the command: 'fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery here>
5.flash the boot.img that came with the ROM, usually it's located within the zip file
6.erase cache using command: 'fastboot erase cache'
7.select Hboot to return to main menu
8. go to recovery
9. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik from advanced options, format system from mounts and storage menu
10. in mounts and storage, select mount usb
11. copy over ROM zip
12. Install from ZIP
13. reboot system
PS. your phone is only bricked if it can't turn on. obviously it's not going to boot up if there is nothing to bootup, lol
Just ensure your recovery is a recent version, like clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, otherwise mounting won't work.
Thanks for the quick reply. I don't entirely understand how to flash the recovery, however.
I assume I'm running the command on the computer. How do I know what to type in as the recovery?
Mate, did you even do your research before attempting any of this?
Anyway,
Make sure you got HTC sync installed, also Android SDK
1/ Open to a command prompt by going: start -> type in cmd
2/ browse to your folder containing fastboot and adb using the 'cd' command
e.g. My fastboot folder is located at "C:/htc/fastboot" so I would type: 'cd C:/htc/fastboot'
If you're using the one from SDK it could look like C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
3/ enter the commands -fastboot flash recovery ...., fastboot flash boot.... etc.
Not nearly as well as I should have. I learned the hard way I guess. Thanks for putting up with my cluelessness though.
I've done as you said, but when I tried to boot into the recovery, I got stuck on it looping the "htc quietly brilliant" screen.
You sure you flashed it Successfully?
and downloaded clockworkmod from here?

Could it be that I have a bad boot.img? I'm using one out of the renovate 8.1.0 ROM.
I was able to get my phone running again by following the video here --Nevermind, Can't post the link yet. Should anyone need it, send me a message--. Basically, I had to relock the bootloader and install the RUU.
Now, however, I'm trying again to root my phone, but whenever I try to unlock the bootloader, it still remains locked ("relocked" on the bootloader screen). I can't find anything about how to fix this. Have I lost the ability to root my phone?

[Q] HTC Desire HD not working after flashing 4ext

My DHD will not boot up. I can put it into recovery mode, but am not able to navigate the menu with my volume buttons or select options with the power button.
This occurred after an (apparently failed) attempt to flash the 4ext recovery.img onto my phone.
My phone has an unlocked bootloader, S-ON, and not rooted, if that helps.
I appreciate any help with my issue in either successfully flashing the recovery.img or getting my phone to work in any way. Thanks!

probably the misc partition is fked, or the chip's gone bad.I'd try reflashing HBOOT by putting it manually via the sdcard, naming it PD98IMG.zip and putting the sdcard back.I'd wait out on another opinion though.

In case I don't get another option, could you instruct me on how to transfer the file to the sdcard? Sorry, not very knowledgable on this type of thing.

Remove it from the phone, insert it into a cardreader of some sort, transfer it to the sdcard renaming it to PD98IMG.zip,putting the file in the root of the sdcard, no folders, putting the card back into the phone, booting to Hboot, pressing the power button just once to start the procedure.If you can't press any of the buttons in HBOOT too, then your phone is effed.
again, don't try this before someone else gives an opinion on this matter.

Have you tried Glevitan's tool to flash CWM recovery? You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133336
Or actually, these are the steps his tool do for flashing the recovery (use adb.exe and fastboot.exe, and change the location of CWM image):
echo Rebooting into fastboot usb
echo.
adb reboot-bootloader
adb kill-server
sleep 10
set recovery=tools\recovery\recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-ace.img
fastboot flash recovery %recovery%
fastboot reboot​
