If your bootloader is unlocked, just fastboot flash cwm recovery, flash su thru recovery, then do a full wipe and install a rom.
Thanks for your reply. I have tried that and it didn't work. Pardon my ignorance but I downloaded cwm recovery and renamed to the zip and flashed with ad card,formatted fat32. Recognized and went thru with the blue bar, the parsed after that it did not attempt to reboot, but went back to regular screen? Did I miss something. I was forced to get another phone cuz my dincs been down Went with the rezound but really want my dinc fixed. Thanks so much for any advice I can get.

Hey guys,
I flashed clockworkmod recovery via fastboot and made a complete system backup on my htc desire hd.
But now I've a problem. My brother unlocked the bootloader with the official htc tool, in fact my phone is still s-on with hboot 2.00xx.
Now I've flashed a custom rom but my phone keeps staying in the bootscreen with te green htc logo.
Any1 any idea how to fix this ?
Thanks in advance

Your problem is that the HTC dev method unlockt the boot loader but you are eng s-on.
So you can flash a custom ROM but you can't flash a kernel. So you need to root and unlock t again.
What I should do is relock the bootloader and flash a ruu.
After that search for the (aahk) advance ace hack kit and root t again. The good way:laugh:
Hey thx for your reply,
where do I get these ruu roms , and sould I lock the bootloader after I flased the ruu rom and how do I lock the bootloader angain ?
Thx in advance
Btw if i lock my bootloader again and run this hackkit, do I still have my recovery mod and a possibility to flas my ruu back?

Here can you find a ruu http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
You can lock the boot loader whit adb " I don't know the command for that"
CWM make a backup to sdcard you never lose them.
Edit: the boot loader relock if you flash a ruu.
You can flash the ruu with the bootloader
Well i tried to flash my rom, I made with CRM and then ran the hack kit. I said i've to downgrade my android version.
After it downloaded the rom it said failed to update cuz my main version is older.
Any idea?
Does the phone boot into the rom?
If it does, is it now on a froyo rom?

Ok, it's like this. The way most people get root and recovery (and the recommended way) is through the AAHK. It gives you an option to flash a completely unlocked ENG S-OFF bootloader, which allows recovery to flash the boot image to the /boot partition too. This is what makes the phone start, otherwise it'll be stuck at the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. Most people will tell you that you should run an RUU and get back to locked bootloader state and then run the AAHK. This IS the preferred method if you want to have a fully unlocked phone, but if you're finding it difficult to do, don't do it.
You've unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev unlock tool. What that does is partially unlock your bootloader. It allows you to flash zips to the system partition and data partition, but not the boot partition. So what happened to you was that you flashed CWM recovery, used it to flash a ROM, but it didn't boot - this is because though the ROM flashed fine, the corresponding boot image for the ROM was not flashed, so the ROM cannot start. The main headache with htcdev method of unlocking is that it leaves you with a S-ON bootloader preventing the flashing of boot image directly from recovery. You will need to flash it manually each time you flash a ROM.
The procedure to do that is -
1. Download the attached zip file, extract it to Desktop or wherever you want using 7-zip/WinZIP.
2. Open the ROM zip file you downloaded. Extract boot.img from this zip to the previously folder which you just extracted in the above step.
3. Turn your phone completely off (pull out battery). Then hold 'volume down' while pressing power and continue holding it till you see a white screen with 3 green skateboarding Androids. This is the bootloader.
4. FASTBOOT will be the first selected option in the list. Press 'Power' to select it. Make sure that now it shows FASTBOOT in red under the initial green text.
5. Connect your phone to computer. See that the red FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB.
4. Open the adb_fastboot folder, open 'Start here.bat'. It will open a command prompt window in that folder.
5. Type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'. You only need to do this once. It will flash 4ext Touch Recovery, which is better than CWM (thanks to madmaxx82 for the awesome recovery).
6. Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. You will need to do this everytime you flash a custom ROM, but before you do so be sure you've copied the boot.img from the ROM zip to the adb_fastboot folder.
7. You should see some stuff like 'Sending data... data sent successfully'. If there's any error at this step report it here.
8. Once it has done everything and displayed a successful confirmation, disconnect phone.
9. Hightlight BOOTLOADER and press 'power' to select it. Press 'volume down' to highlight RECOVERY and 'power' to select it.
10. Once you're rebooted into 4ext Touch Recovery, go to 'install zip from SD card', browse for the ROM zip file in your SD card. If you haven't copied the zip to SD card, go back a step, connect phone to computer, select 'toggle USB storage' and then copy it onto the SD card. Once you have the ROM zip on the sdcard, go to the main screen of the recovery, choose 'wipe/format'->format all partitions (except SD card). Now go back to main screen, choose 'install zip from sdcard' and browse to the ROM zip location, select it and confirm that you want to flash it.
11. When the flash process is done, go back to the main screen of recovery, and press reboot now. You will reboot into the custom ROM.
This is the process to flash a custom ROM and get it to boot properly IF you have unlocked the bootloader using www.htcdev.com. For AAHK unlocked S-OFF bootloaders, you can just flash the ROM zip from recovery. The boot image will be flashed too.
Before trying the above try this and you might get lucky.
Boot into clockworkmod wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache. Wipe dalvik cache. Flash the custom rom again and wait 15 mins for it to boot before giving up.

What you're saying is correct for fully unlocked S-OFF boot loaders. The ROM take sometime to boot the first time because it has to build the dalvik cache. The time it takes depends on the number of apps. Same thing happens when you wipe dalvik cache, it has to be rebuilt on boot.
But the problem here is, the OPs phone is unlocked using htcdev. With that method, the boot loader remains on S-ON. So the boot partition cannot be flashed to using recovery. The boot.img will have yo be manually flashed through fastboot, otherwise the ROM won't boot no matter how long he waits.

That htcdev unlock sounds like a nightmare. Glad I stayed away from that one... I used to flash different roms with s-on on my desire (not DHD) for a while with no problem. There was a rooting method called unrevoked that flashed clockworkmod with s-on. I guess DHD must have a different version of nand lock which restricts flashing part of the rom from zip?

Yes. The boot image does not get flashed. This is what sucks about htcdev unlock, and the reason why HTC pissed off so many people. The community asked for bootloader unlock, HTC gave a half-assed bootloader unlock. Alternative methods to gain S-OFF are always preferred. Some devices unfortunately don't have S-OFF methods yet, so they have to use htcdev unlock. HTC One X for instance, don't know about the other One series phones.

Why are you answering a thread that is an year old??
New member here, so please do not burn down my house if this questions has already been asked.
I recently went through the steps of the S-Off for my HTC One on Verizon (thanks beaups and jduck)! Everything went perfectly during the process. While it says my phone is unlocked, when trying to go into my recovery to flash a rom, it goes to the white HTC screen and then to a blank screen and then just boots up into the Verizon screen. I installed TWRP and tried to go through recovery this way, and it still is not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Try re flashing a recovery through flashboot follow instructions from here

What process did you take to get TWRP installed?
It sounds like your recovery didn't install correctly.

After getting S-Off for my one, i also tried to use TWRP. I followed all the steps, but it wouldn't work, kept getting stuck at Entering Recovery or whatever.. Ended up trying clockwork, and it worked. Not sure what the problem was, but you should try cwm if you're not absolutely set on twrp
Are you guys getting twrp from the thread in the original development section or somewhere else. curious if you got the wrong version or a bad copy.

need help. I have a HTC Incredible 2 and followed a meticulous way to unlock the boot loader and flashed the clockworkmod recovery. Everything worked fine until I tried to flash cyanogen 10. I think the phone may be bricked because it will only rebooot to the white HTC screen. I have tried instructions and videos on youtube but I cannot figure out what to do. I did this with s-on. I have tried the RUU flashes or PG32IMG.lzip but again I cant get antwhere. Now I cant get it unlocked after the relock and it will not recognize the device in adb but does in fastboot. Anyway, will someone please help me either get back to stock or hopefully flash a new Rom to the phone. I am also new to XDA so I dont even know if this is where to post to get help.Thank you and I strongly look forward to receiving a response and help.[/B]:crying:

What's up everyone. I had a stock One but needed to get my crackflash on so I bought a rooted One online.
So here are my questions 1) how can I tell what recovery is installed 2) how can i tell if the bootloader is unlocked?
And before you ask, I bought it third party so I wasn't able to get the info from the seller.
Thanks
Boot to hboot to see if the bootloader is unlocked. With the phone off hold vol down and power at the same time, untill a white screen appears (hboot). It will say at the top either locked, unlocked, or relocked. Then from hboot scroll down to recovery and select it with the power button. Once in recovery it wil say at the top which one it is and what version.
Thanks so much! Any suggestion on which recovery to use? I've read pros and con's of each. I'll prolly flash Vipers ROM.

I prefer TWRP. It has a nicer ui, and it backs up and restores a good 3 to 4 times faster than cwm.
That's what I'm used to. Can I just flash it in recovery or would I need to adb it over? I think the last time I had a rooted phone I flashed twrp via ROM manager

Best way to flash TWRP is via fastboot. Follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
You could also use Root Recovery Tools - Flasher from the market as well. If you have a usb-otg adapter you can also flash it thru hboot as a PN07IMG.zip. And you can also flash it thru fastboot RUU mode.
Don't mean to hijack the thread but I had a quick question- what's the difference between doing an RUU and just flashing the stock OTA rom?
An ota updates not only the rom, but also all the other system images (bootloader, radio, recovery, and many other behind the scenes partitions.) Also obviously the ruu will not be pre rooted like the rom.
Got the phone today and the bootloader is unlocked. It has Clockwork installed. Its not the latest, any real reason to upgrade it?
Not really unless its realy old, which i doubt.

I would just recommend switching to TWRP though, CWM seems to give people issues sometimes
Sometimes current ROMs can have issues in flashing on older recoveries. I have had zero issues with twrp. While with cwm on my bolt all my backups got corrupted. I have tried cwm just to see how it is coming but like said it takes forever to do a backup. I just wish we could get the 4ext recovery. That was one recovery that in my eyes blew even twrp away. Twrp will never let you down.

I just did a backup with the CWM that was installed, it was only one version behind, and the backup is only 38mb?? I know that backups are usually 1 gb or so. I'm guessing I'll be flashing TWRP later on today.
That's definitely not a full backup lol.
