[Q] Can't install Clockworkmod, or XDA recovery - HTC Wildfire S

I'm trying to install clockworksmod on my wildfire S. I've managed to unlock it using the htcdev.com instructions, but when I try to install a recovery -- XDA or clockworks it keeps telling me that the model ID is incorrect, what's going on? Any help would be appreciated!

Are you using this image from Clockworkmod site?
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Also try installing ROM Manager app from store and flashing recovery using it.
Or maybe flashing it using fastboot?

Also check are you using CDMA or GSM recovery version, it should match your phone...

Thanks for the reply, I finally found this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702542 and it worked to root my phone. Thanks a bunch!

What Rom did you try flashing? Is your hboot status s-off and what method of root?

Sorry i am pretty noob at this stuff. How do i flash and then pull the boot IMG?
google the guide to installing roms with htc dev unlock
The boot.IMG is in the ROM zip file , use s file manager and open the zip and copy the boot.IMG , then flash it in fast boot or push it through Adb

I also still don't see this boot.IMG file i have googled and looked everywhere. Can you tell me exactly where it is?
Sorry for asking so much.
It should be in the rom zip a file named boot.IMG . try unzipping the ROM , maby you'll see it then
If I wasent in a 1000 ton injection mold machine I'd be more help
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
OK I'm outta work , re-reading your posts I believe your are confused , when you unlocked your phone through HTC dev unlock its different than fully removing the security or "s-off" . the way you have to flash a ROM being HTC dev unlocked requires an extra step in the flashing process , which is after u flash your ROM eg. CyanogenMod , for it to boot you have to extract the boot.IMG of that particular ROM and flash that separately from fast boot . there is no universal boot.IMG like you tried googling. The file should always be there .
There are threads that better describe the process better but hope this will help you start to understand the process

The same thing happened to me... Just flash the official RUU and see if it boots. If it does, just flash any ROM that you want.
As for the RUU, I flashed the global version.

Well how else are you going to flash it if not trough the recovery?
Just flash it as you would any other ROM. (Do a FULL wipe and install the .zip + kernel)

He also said it was through recovery, recovery doesn't have access to the boot partition, therefore flashing a kernel through recovery won't work.

What is this?

Friends I got this HTC desire HD from a eBay seller.usually it should be s on but it shows s off RL.but actually it should be s on,what should I do to install a custom ROM. guys help me ASAP.waiting for ur reply...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
That's fine. All you have to do is flash a custom recovery (guides in the link of my sig, or look for Ace Think Tank) and you'll be good to go.
S-OFF means securities flag checks are off, therefore you can flash ROMs without having to flash the boot.img from the bootloader, resulting in an easier experience.

You should find a custom recovery like CWM or 4EXT packed as PD98IMG.zip, put to root of sdcard then flash it in bootloader. After that go to recovery to flash supersu v1.8 from chainfire. That's all

Hello,
As you are unlocked now flashing twrp 3.x should work, which fastboot command do you use?
Fastboot flash recovery xxx.img?
If yes,then try to boot to it by:
Fastboot boot xxx.img
At least this should work. Then you could try to flash a recovery in twrp itself
