[Stuck] in CWM Recovery while rooting - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, yes i have a DHD, and i tried to root it with AAHK tool. I know that many have success, but i failed.
Now i got stuck in CWM Recovery and can't get out. Although i tried all the options in the list, but it always returns the CWM screen.
I also tried to install a Rom cook, it said that Success, but then i return again in the CWM screen.
Here it's some pic

Here it's Hboot menu
This is when i try to run AAHK tool once more.
P/S: i've read the instruction of AAHK tool before action, my phone was pure, S-On, and run Android ver 2.3.5.
P/S 2: i think in the process, my usb cable wasn't properly connected (not my fault, DHD is a old device), cos i heard the sound of something plug in and out my pc many many times

Is your volume rocker flaw? That seems to be a hardware issue and not software. Maybe it got stuck and that is why it boots to recovery..

I don't rly know much of rooting a phone, but when i use AAHK tool, it asked me if i want to load some "RUU" file and install it, i said Yes.
If that is not what u're talking, please give some construction.

Are you able to boot in hboot? You don't need recovery to flash a RUU..paste the information displayed in your hboot here...

Ok, first download the zip I've attached to this post. Extract the contents, run 'Start here.bat'. Now, on your phone, go back to the hboot screen, connect your phone to your computer, and press 'power'. Verify that the phone shows 'FASTBOOT USB' in red. Now go to the cmd window that opened with 'Start here.bat', and type (or copy-paste) from here -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-ace.img
When it finishes and displays a 'success' message, exit cmd, disconnect your phone, use 'volume down' to highlight 'recovery' and press power to select it. Your phone will boot into this new recovery which is called TWRP. TWRP and 4ext are the best recoveries for this device. CWM is outdated, especially the version you're using. Now using this recovery, wipe your device properly by running wiping 'system' and 'factory reset/data' in the wipe menu, and then flash whatever ROM you want. It should work fine.
Note: If it fails, then you've done something and you don't have an S-OFF bootloader anymore. As long as your bootloader has the same top line as in the picture you posted, you're good. If you have run an RUU either on your own or using AAHK, and you have an S-ON bootloader now, connect your phone back in hboot mode, enable 'FASTBOOT USB' and run AAHK again. You'll end up with an S-OFF bootloader, and you can follow the above step.
Also, the sound of your phone disconnecting and connecting repeatedly to your computer was not a problem with the USB cable. It happens everytime AAHK reboots the phone, because the phone disconnects while turning off and connects back when turning on. AAHK failed the second time you ran it because it you already got a fully unlocked S-OFF bootloader in the first try. It only works if the bootloader is locked.

you can not use flash commands in fasboot as you don't have ENG S-OFF (do not flash the tradicional but the modified one in the Hack Kit)
Or flash the zip file in fastboot this way:
Boot in fastboot usb (check that in the phone is display that)
Put this zip file somewhere you can find it: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2d8xxQzn5owMkpCQlBibkU2amM/edit?usp=sharing.
Open a cmd as admin in the PC
Go to where the recovery zip folder is located (in cmd)
And then type:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip cwm-5.0.2.7-ace.zip (when you get the OKAY in the cmd session you are done)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
When finished, you should have CWM recovery installed

Thank you, all steps has worked, but it seems that nothing has changed. The phone reboot and still stuck at the famous CWM screen.
Btw, i now can't use AAHK tool anymore, it always say that Phone not plugged in, or Driver not installed, or USB debugging not enabled.

Ah, my bad. I completely forgot about that. I've always had ENG S-OFF I'll remember your method. :good:

Then maybe you have another solution ?
I'm still waiting for you guys :hopefully:

Yeah. If you still have S-OFF, connect your phone in fast boot and run AAHK. Choose the option to flash ENG hboot and flash the 0.85.2425 version. Once it's done, you'll see 'ACE PVT ENG S-OFF' at the top. Now you can do again what I said in the previous post.

Because you are trying to open he Hack Kit normally, but your phone does not boot so adb can't be used. Boot in fastboot usb and then open a cmd as admin and navigate to where the hack kit is located, then type:
Code:
hack-ace.cmd fastboot
That should bring the menu to flash ENG S-OFF...

after i downgrade so can i flash this rom? (sebastian15)
i don't know what's RUU?
ps. when i run fastboot my phone isn't in fastboot screen it's on black screen with HTC logo.

hey, yesterday i had same problem. just wanted to go to stock rom and i stucked on same screen. and windows didn't see my sd card. so what i did:
booted to linux ubuntu, somehow linux saw my sd card, with gparted i deleted all partitions and reformated sd card. when i downloaded android flasher 2.2 i gues and flashed original bootloader from alpharev.nl, and flashed rocovery img. when i started official ruu 2.3 and everything went fine. now i am on original rom and have working phone . but i think that main problem was cm7r2 hboot. so i think you just need to flash original hboot and run ruu rom. ruu rom you can get from second or third thread in development section. good luck.

You have to relock the bootloader and then reflash the Ruu in the PD98IMG.zip way.
To relock, just boot to hboot and choose fastboot.
Plug the phone and You should see fastboot USB in red.
Open a CMD as admin or terminal as root in the PC
Type: fastboot oem lock
Then, just re try booting in hboot with the Ruu in the root of the sdcard....

ok...you don't have the adb drivers. Unplug the phone and download the Hack Kit, unzip it and just run the hack-ace.cmd as admin. That will install the adb drivers and so other commands, then close it. Plug the phone back and again from fastboot usb in red try the command

Plug the phone in fastboot, then run the Hack Kit as admin and choose the fastboot method...see what happens. If not you will have to create a goldcard with the sdcard CID.

Then just place the file I will send u (rename it PD98IMG.zip) in the root of the sdcard and boot in hboot.

you can unlock the bootloader again and then try flashing a custom rom...there's a way...gotta find the thread.

This is where it get's stuck but:
It still reacts on USB connects changing from 'HBOOT' to 'HBOOT_USB_PLUG' but navigating or selecting an option is not possible.
Another thing, making me wonder, is that this screen appears, after just hitting the power button - it's not necessarry to kepp VOL Down pressed...
Hopefully someone can help me out of this,
Thanks in advance,
Dominik

Setup adb/fastboot.
Download the 4ext recovery img:
http://www.4ext.net/ddl/bravo/recovery.zip (extract the zip), and put it in the platform-tools folder of where your android sdk is.
Boot the phone into fastboot (hold power and back), then use this command:
Code:

Once your in recovery do a full wipe and flash a ROM.

Setup adb/fastboot.
Download the 4ext recovery img:
http://www.4ext.net/ddl/bravo/recovery.zip (extract the zip), and put it in the platform-tools folder of where your android sdk is.
Boot the phone into fastboot (hold power and back), then use this command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img

It needs to be recognized by fastboot not adb. Download and install HTC sync then uninstall it leaving only the drivers behind. Also install these: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then boot the phone into fastboot mode (power and back) and run "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognized. If it is follow the instructions in my first post.

Yeah, it's working, thanks a lot!
I tried to boot with "back + Power" several times.... but without USB connected...
EDIT: No, it wasn't regarding USB...
This only works from time to time, more less then more.. (hopefully you know what I mean)
Okay, now I have a way to get into the recovery, a big step forward!!
What now?
I'd like to "install" this recovery now, as I did before on my HD2 in the past but this is far long ago, so sorry for this stupid question:
How to replace the actual existing Recovery with the booted 4ext one?
On 4ext.net I found a way with a booted rom, but without...
Later on, I'd like to flash CyanogenMod 7, so I already downloaded the suggested PB99img_cm7r2.zip.
I remember this has s.th. to do regarding partitioning, right? What do I have to do with this file?
Can I flash this with fastboot ?
During usual bootloader startup it says "No image or wrong size"
AS you may see, I know a little, but it's damned long ago...
Sorry for my worse english, but I don't know how to describe this better
Hopefully you can help me anyway,
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to fully install the recovery. Rename the hboot(partition) file you downloaded to "PB99IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot the phone into hboot and it will search for the file. When it finds it select yes to install it then reboot.
Go into recovery and wipe everything except the SD card then flash the ROM.

Hi,
thanks a lot for these great hints, but sadly I'm unable since yesterday to enter fastboot mode
System always starts into HBOOT - and dies, weather I press any additional keys to the power button or not...
Any alternative way to enter fastboot mode?

[Q] Can't root my HTC Wildfire

For days now I have been trying to root this HTC Wildfire (NOT Wildfire S) that my dad gave to me (so I take it that this phone is very old), because I need to install Android 2.3 on it to be able to download Skype (the phone is stuck on Android 2.2). However after trying many guides, on this website AND others, I am simply unable to do it, so that is why I am writing this forum post.
This is the HBOOT screen:

I have tried so many different things, especially posts on this website, and have so far been unsuccessful, but that may be mainly because I am new to this type of thing.
Any help is appreciated, it seems to me that there is almost no solution, half the links to files I need for this process has turned out to be so old that it is no longer even there.

I have problems at step 3. When I use the htcdev instructions, when I'm on the RUU it says ERROR[191]: ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
And after that there is nothing that I can do to continue with your instructions. I am on Windows 8.

Okay, windows 8 can have some issues with android development but we "should" ( ) be able to get around them.
to your main issue you do not need to flash the ruu, as you already have the upgraded hboot, so skip that part and move onto getting your unlock token via fastboot.( should it say that you need to download the ruu just to move the web page along then do so, but you dont need that file.) View here for a how to on getting fastboot set up with windows 8 and view here for commonly ran into issues with windows 8. Should you get stuck or need more advice just ask pal

Yeah im positive pal. the old hboot never used to say locked. if its sits at waiting for device it means that the device is not connected okay. can you run the command
Code:
adb devices
for me and see if it detects the phone.
Do you have usb debugging enabled?
Did you download the zip file from the forum page?

Sorry for my delay pal, you seem to have download the correct zip file from the op. Try these commands
Adb reboot bootloader
(The device should reboot into fastboot, highlighted in red at the top, Followed by.)
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Then highlight the code using right click/mark/ then select it all and right click it again. Post that into the htcdev website.

When the command prompt states waiting for the device,and you have booted into hboot using the command fastboot reboot boot loader, does the phone say fastboot in red at the top, with options like fastboot reboot and other options in red? Or is it the standard black/blue writing? If its not all red then with the fastboot option highlighted press power once. I will upload pictures of what o mean as soon as I get to my laptop.

yeah like this except yours will say locked and not unlocked at this stage.
So from here open your command prompt from within the adb folder
Then enter this command, copy and pastif prefered.
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
this should return a large code in the command prompt.
You will then need to Rght click, mark, and then highlight all the code like the htcdev website states.
post that info into the website and they will email you your unlock token.bin
post back on how you get on.

Okay, then your issue is with your fastboot driver. Do you have another computer you can use?

Just install android SDK and jdk and then try to install your drivers as heavy metal man said. I hope this could work..or try to use this

So what did you try to do? The above doesn't tell us anything you tried or didn't try (aside from removing the SD card).
Don't want to waste the time and effort, to advise you to do things you may have already tried.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply!
I tried to connect it to my mac via usb to flash a rom or twrp etc but my computer doesn't show the phone.
I tried selecting the recovery mode from the menus and nothing happens.
It just restarts and goes back to the same mode.
So honestly i havnt tried much as i do not know where to begin.. Apart from going into all of the menus on the screen and that's it.
I think i the phone is missing the recovery and the rom? Not sure.... Help!

The mac will only be able to connect via fastboot, in the current condition. Do you have fastboot/adb setup on your mac? I'm not a mac user, so I won't be able to advise much on that.

Since the phone will only boot to bootloader, you are correct in that it appears the ROM is damaged or corrupt. Since I don't think the Rogers version has RUU to recover, you are right in the approach of flashing TWRP and ROM to the phone.
However, you will also need to unlock the bootloader, in order to flash TWRP. And you will need working fastboot connection to mac/PC in order to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP. So you really need to troubleshoot the connection issue, first.
You might also read through the following thread for more recovery options or info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694297

On post #1 OP wrote (few other lines) which is important to be highlighted. Without OS info no way to help.
Or as usual need fastboot getvar all result. If it is Lollipop RUU 4.20.631.3 is available for free.
Also I remember Marshmallow RUU is available too on AFH but can't confirm it now as I maybe wrong ..need to search for it
Edit : here is Marshmallow RUU - http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=14070
Leave it to you to guide OP.
Maybe need to flash 6.13.631.7 firmware first before RUU

Thanks!
I just tried the add fast boot connection went through all the steps ok, HOWEVER when i type in ./adb devices it does not show the phone. So far all posts and videos i have found explain about trouble shooting when the phone OS is still running but none for my situation.
There is a red highlights text which says "FASTBOOT"
and it turns to "FASTBOOT USB" when i plug in with my MAC
Also i have tried 2 different USB cables same result, tried clicking on the "REBOOT FASTBOOT" as well same result.
Anything else i can do to have a working connection ?

Have you installed the HTC drivers to your computer?
If not, install HTC Sync Manager (you can get the MAC version here). During the installation of Sync Manager the drivers will be installed. After they are, Uninstall Sync Manager (it doesn't play nice with ADB/fastboot) and the drivers will remain

When on fastboot, correct command is fastboot devices or ./fastboot devices
Based on your bootloader screenshot, you can try the above linked RUU to fix your phone

This is working normally, and as intended.
adb and fastboot are related, but different conditions, usage and requirements.
adb: Only works in OS, or alternately TWRP. Needs debugging enabled in phone settings. Will not work in fastboot mode.
fastboot: Only works in fastboot mode. Does not require debugging enabled in phone settings.
Stuck in fastboot mode, you should get a response (phone's ID) to: fastboot devices
Otherwise, there may be a driver or USB connectivity issue.
However, since ckpv5 linked an RUU for you to use, the mac won't help you. RUU is probably the easiest way to get the phone back up and running. But you'll need access to a PC for the RUU to work. RUU won't work properly with mac, even emulating a PC.

Nice. :good: Obviously, I missed that detail. Should have figures, since most M8 versions without "official" released RUUs seem to get them leaked as zip format.
