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.

Reflash the recovery in fastboot. Get 4EXT Touch recovery, boot into fastboot and write in cmd
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
u can get latest 4ext tecovery in my sig, just click PB99IMG 4ext recovery and extract the zip file then put recovery.img in ur c:\ drive on ur computer, put ur phone into fastboot (with ur phone off hold back button + power) and plug it into ur computer (so it says "fastboot usb") then open fastboot command window and type -
fastboot erase recovery
(then type)
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
or... u could just do it the PB99IMG method, instructions in that link.
ps: next time post problems in desire Q&A

Damn. It's not working - neither ur way, nor the alternative solution.
When i type fastboot flash recovery, the console says "sending recovery <3784 KB>...." and then it freezes. There is a greeen rectangle in the left corner of the smartphone screen, but nothing happens.
When i tried the alternetive way (with recovery.img on sd card) HBOOT hasn't seen the image.
EDIT: I put ZIP on sdcard, HBOOT installed recovery, but it still freezes on HTC logo screen.
when u used PB99IMG to install recovery did u try enter recovery or just reboot?

i couldn't install recovery fom PC.
When i installed it form bootloader, i didn't reboot. I tried to get into recovery immediately. No dice. So i've reinstalled it, tried to reboot, and then get in the recovery - still nothing.
hmm strange. u could try Android Flasher, google it and ul find it. its a tool to flash recovery, splash screens etc. also what does ur bootloader say?

1 more thing, Have u got HTC Sync installed? i think that it interfere's with fastboot n that. u only need the drivers installed.
U can get bootloader so it should be fixable, its just nothing is working lol.
The only thing i can think of is going back to s-on :crying:
you would have to flash alpharev downgrader, flash stock hboot and then run the 2.3 upgrade from bootloader. this is last resort so maybe someone can confirm first before trying. if it went well then u can just use revolutionary to gain s-off and instal CWM recovery
i wouldn't mind going on s-on again. But can u do that without ADB mode available?

not 100% sure but u can do it using the PB99IMG method. Basically u have to extract the rom.zip and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, put on ur sdcard then hold volume down + power then bootloader will ask u to update. The same as before. just make sure u flash Alpharev downgrader first. (i know this works as i done it myself 2 month ago)
if u want i can post both downgrader and rom zip files if u want as PB99IMG?
Do u have stock hboot?
i guess stock hboot.
It would be very kind of you if u post both files here - i don't want to download any wrong files....
Thanks again!
Hey ,
I have a HTC desire ( Bravo PVT1 Ship S-OFF, HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary)) and it wont run recovery.
Reflashing Recovery.img works with fastboot, but still wont run recovery , it hangs on the HTC screen.
What started the problems : First i rooted the phone and installed a ROM with clockworkrecovery , and it was working well, But I wanted to expand the memory , so i followed these instructions to install 4EXT recovery:
Like posted above, never use minitool, it creates bad partitions. If ur s-off then flash 4ext recovery via fastboot commands or use the 4ext recovery PB99IMG in my sig, instructions r there. Once 4ext recovery is installed on ur phone u need to boot recovery, select it in the bootloader menu (if phone off, volume down + power then select recovery) once in recovery, goto tools, partition sdcard, remove all partitions and start from scratch then choose
1024
Skip
Skip
Then choose ext4
Once thats done, goto main menu then wipe/format and format all partitions except sdcard, after that wipe dalvik. Connect ur phone (usb) and select toggle usb in menu, send the rom to ur sdcard (from computer) then install from sdcard then reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything worked except for sending the rom to the SDcard, it gave me USB Brick error and it asked me to fix it, I accepted and it rebooted automatically, and since then it wont go into recovery anymore.
What have i tried to do to fix it :
• Erase recovery and re-flashed a new recovery with fastboot (both 4EXT recovery and clockwork recovery ), Still hangs on HTC screen when selecting Recovery
• Put PB99IMG.zip on SDCard , it says that no image or wrong image.
I've searched and tried it all , except for installing stock RUU , but ive read thats a last resort . So before trying that I thought I ask the people that helped me so much already.
Greets
Does ur phone boot up? If so download the 4ext recovery updater apk in my sig and try flashing recovery using the app. Thats what u should of done in the first place. PB99IMG is kinda last option
Sent from my HTC Desire
No, it doesnt have a Rom , that's because I erased everything , like the text above says . I got stuck when I wanted to send the Rom to the SDcard .
But now I got really stuck .
It won't load any PB99IMG , that means I won't be able to go back to the original RUU ... I can use fastboot. Is there a way to flash it through fastboot ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
I'm no expert, but did flash 4ext recovery from fastboot the other day... So Yes, that's possible
(edit: guess I misread your q. Dunno about flashing RUU through fastboot)
Ok... I am completely stuck...
I cant load any PB99IMG
What might be the reason that it wont recognize my PB99IMG?
Is there any way to flash things back to stock without using PB99IMG?
or Flash Hboot ?
Please anyone ...
ok... I want to go back to original RUU so i downloaded the PB99IMG_downgrade , but i cant downgrade it through PB99IMG.zip since it wont load...
Is flashing the Hboot.img inside of the PB99IMG_downgrade.zip through fastboot an option?( fastboot flash hboot c:\hboot.img )
or will I brick it even further?

Yes you can do that, flash downgrader.img ( http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img ) and run RUU.
You're stock hboot right?
My Hboot was HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary
and after the downgrader turned into alpharev 6.93.9999
Should I be able to run the RUU update now?
And do I have to be in bootloader while I execute the RUU, since thats my only option ?

New problem....
I Tried to install the RUU
Everything looked fine , until it gave me bootloader version error ,its flashed everything except for the ROM.
and it booted in Hboot , and it showed :

I didnt have a clue what to do next, so i tried to run the newest RUU but gave me the same error (bootloader version is higher) untill I came across a topic on a other forum with someone with the same problem
later he said:
EVERYTHING SOLVED: I used a downgrade utility to restore the (broken) BootLoader and it also installed the stock HTC ROM

But the downgrade utility wont detect my device (is my USB DEBUGGING disabled? )
Can anyone help me , I REALLY dont know what to do!
I am in a loop of problems
I cant run RUU because my ROM image is 3.14.something , so I cant install an older version..
I cant flash Misc because of my S-ON status
I cant enter recovery...
So my questions are :
Is there a way to flash MISC to an older one so I can run RUU?
Is there a way to root it, without entering a ROM ( I know there is alpharev ISO , but it wont recognize my Desire...)

Then you need to flash the boot.img in fastboot everytime you flash a rom. Otherwise your device won't boot. To find out how to do that, use the guide in my signature...:good:

I don't get it. Why on earth are you flashing that boot.img?? You need to flash the rom you are trying to flash boot.img.....That image is just for the Inspire 4G and has nothing to do with any of the roms you flashed.
S-ON and Unlock bootloader are two different things. S-OFF does not require to have an unlocked bootloader....Being S-ON is fine if you unlock the bootloader.

That is the issue, that you didn't flash the rom. You need a custom recovery to flash the rom first and then the boot.img. You just flash a boot.img file from a different rom without flashing the rom itself.
Boot into fastboot usb and then flash recovery. You can use the guide or the tools in my signature to do that or just flash it manually. Then, flash the rom in recovery and just then fastboot flash the boot.img.

I did use your guides to work it up. I flashed recovery via fastboot and flashed the ROM (along with gapps). It is working. However, I fastboot flashed boot.img of the same ROM BEFORE flashing recovery and hence before flash ROM. However it is working so all good
Thanks a lot

DHD Wont Boot after Custom ROM
HI,
OK...
I have an S-ON DHD with unlocked bootloader and decided to upgrade the android version.
Decided I'd start with 5.1.1 (cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-ace).
I have TWRP (openrecovery-TWRP-ace-2.8.1.2-unofficial) installed as recovery manager.
So installed the ROM but phone would not boot - stayed on HTC screen.
Looking for the cause I find that I need to flash flash boot.img of the ROM I want to use as it is S-ON.
BUT - to do so I need to use fastboot and at this stage I can only get into recovery and fastboot devices shows no devices hence I can't issue :
fastboot flash boot my.img
I think I should have kept a recovery of the original ROM but .... what could possibly go wrong ....
So bottom line I have a phone that won't boot but can get into recovery.
Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted
Cheers,
Paul

Ok - thanks 4 your help everyone ....
Ok the issue related to the fact that the laptop(s) I were using both (Win10) somehow got stuffed up by the HTC Diagnostic drivers which caused one of the laptops to blue screen (Driver Power State Failure error) on a restart and the other to hang.
Once I restarted successfully the adb and fastboot devices re-appeared and I simply flash booted the boot.img from my android 5 rom and all now good
Cheers,

Running CWM 3.x.x from DHD release
Downloaded CWM 5.8.1.5 zip and 'flash' using install zip util on 3.x but when I went back into recovery it was still 3.x
Didn't realise it was 3.x so I wiped then full wiped etc, then realised 3.x so ran 5.x install again
Decided to reboot to make sure 5.x had installed BUT I hadn't yet flashed a ROM on!
Stuck at HTC screen, have a broken 'DOWN' button so I can't boot into recovery and I can't get into Android and reboot to recovery for obvious reason
Please please can someone help? I just need to get back into recovery to flash.
If it helps, I'm on OS X but I have access to Windows and iirc Ubuntu
Danke

So to clarify. You tried to flash the CWM5 recovery.zip from CWM3 recovery, but it failed? You could try to fastboot flash the recovery.img from your computer. Also, are you S-On or S-Off?
To reboot into recovery connect to computer and from cmd type "adb reboot bootloader."

My volume down button is broken so I can't access anything on the device. Yes I tried to flash 5 from 3 and it failed.
I'm fairly sure I'm s off. When I rooted etc I used the phone only method so I didn't need adb. Will I need to download anything?

Take a look at your bootloader info. If it show 'ace pvt __ s-off, means that it is s-off.
Fail in flashing rom sometimes hinting that there is something wrong with hardware. Unfortunately our hardware expert is no longer here.
