Flash Clockworkmod recovery failed.... [Solved]

I am trying to flash rom following thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769.
However I met problem during flash clockworkmod recovery. The Error message looks like
"Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space!"
I am pretty sure the above things are right.
Then, If i click reboot into recovery, the device will stop with with an icon with a phone and an exclamation mark in a triangle. Press volume up and power key, screen shows that
"Android System Recovery (3e). xxxx.....
with a error message E:/ can't open /cache/recovery/command"
I downloaded the update.zip, try to manually flash the recovery, unfortunately, signature verification error.
I have no idea what to do next?

Hi,
Can you confirm if your DHD has SHIP S-ON, SHIP S-OFF or ENG S-OFF?

yes, I checked with
1. Power Down Your Device
2. Go to Bootloader
3. If it says Ace PVT ENG S-OFF your phone is ENG S-OFF.
4. use Volume down to get to system info and tap power button to select
5. check CID for CID-11111111 (if you have this all is done 100%)
6. Reboot
Everything looks fine.

Problem solved with manual recovery flash.

[Q] Just to tell am i right on downgrade..nothing more :)

I need to unlock my SIM CARD with unlock sim utility, but can't do it (says success but not NETWORK UNLOCK) , i think it's because my HBOOT and RADIO..
So i need to downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2 ..

Just tell me is this right way (it's look to simple to me ) , i found this on bortak troubleshooting (thanks to him)...
I want to downgrade to RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed , now have newest gingerbread
I need to start from phase 2? i'm little confused about goldcard, i don't need it because my phone isn't branded? right?...
" [PHASE2]- we need to extract rom.zip from the RUU. If your phone is branded Orange, you will need a goldcard because Orange didn't release any RUU's.. The bastards
[P2/STEP1]- Run the RUU (BUT DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE OR CONTINUE), move it to the side as it cannot be minimised.
[P2/STEP2]- go to start menu, and use the "run" feature. Type in %temp%
[P2/STEP3]- select "date modified" to "today" (to make it easier to find). There are should now be 2 folders with long names of random characters.
[P2/STEP4]- search the folders for rom.zip and extract it to the desktop.
[P2/STEP5]- Rename the rom.zip to PB99IMG.zip (if on windows 7 and you have hidden file extensions, only make the name PB99IMG, otherwise it will be PB99IMG.zip.zip - because windows is retarded sometimes)
[PHASE3]- now we need to actually use the RUU
[P3/STEP1]- put the file in the ROOT of your sd-card (not in any file or folder) and boot into bootloader (poweroff, hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER). After a few seconds, you will be prompted to update bootloader. Select Yes. DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS, OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
[P3/STEP2]- Once the process is finished, you will now be S-ON and unrooted with the stock system. "

No you are not right.... nothing more

hahahah... good to know
So i need first s-off, or something else?
I didn't found anything specific about that..

Yeah youd need s-off then fastboot flash the Alpharev downgrade.img hboot. Then you can ruu. This wipes all data though, so you may aswell become a fully rooted member of society

I would personally try reinstalling a recovery from boot loader b4 running a ruu. I will shoot u a link for latest amon recovery. Rename it PC36IMG.zip put it in root of sdcard. Get back into boot loader. It will recognize the pc36img and ask u if u wanna install. Do so.
After this if you can get into recovery u can go ahead and flash a new rom or restore a previous nand.
Gimme a minute for link.......

Here u go.

[Q] Why do I have Revolutionary HBOOT?

Hey guys!
I used an RUU to flash my Desire back to the old software (build) version 2.10.405.2. This gave me Android 2.2 (Froyo). I think this is the one that came with my phone (if my memory serves me well). Those who bought it before me had to upgrade from Eclair to get Froyo. I think I had Froyo already.
But why does it say "Revolutionary" and "S-OFF" in my HBOOT menu? Doesn't the RUU flash everything?
Also, when I go into Recovery I get the usual warning triangle icon. So there are no menus, there used to be CWM (clock work mod) with menus.
So the recovery image has been flashed and the ROM image has been flashed? But just not the HBOOT image?
Can I download the HBOOT image only somewhere? And then flash it using Fastboot Commander?

U have to flash alpharev downgrader first then run the ruu, that way it will be completely stock s-on

So I guess I was on the right path then. I mean I just flashed it with what seemed to be the stock HBOOT image. I visited the AlphaRev website and downloaded a file called PB99IMG_stock.zip. This ZIP file includes a file called hboot.img. I used the command prompt to write this file to the phone in fastboot mode.
But all that did is it changed the title in the HBOOT menu from "Revolutionary" to "AlphaRev".

I will try the downgrade image now.
What will the command be?
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
Is that right?...
And then I will run the RUU? Right? And this will flash the proper stock HBOOT image?

From what i understand you have Stock hboot now (you said you've flashed it)
So yes, now just flash downgrader and run RUU.

How to get back to stock HBOOT image
It worked! Thanks jmcclue! The commands are all the same as for flashing any HBOOT image.
Just for reference, this is how to do it.
Go to AlphaRev website and download the file "bravo_downgrade.img".
Set the phone to fastboot mode.
Connect it to the computer with a USB cable.
Open a command prompt (preferably with elevated privileges).
Navigate to the folder where you saved the "bravo_downgrade.img" file.
Send this command to flash it.
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_downgrade.img
Send this command to reboot.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Send this command to erase cache.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Disconnect the phone from computer.
Select "REBOOT" from the Fastboot menu. Either that, or take out the battery and put it back in.
Boot/start up the phone normally. If you previously took out the battery, put it back in and press the power button.
Connect it to the computer. If it asks you what kind of connection, choose Charge only.
Run the RUU (ROM Utility Update) that includes the HBOOT image. If it includes the HBOOT image the file size should be around 160 MB.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the operation.
When done, the phone should reboot and you should have the stock HBOOT image and the stock software version.
Note! Don't remove the cable when you are sending commands to the phone. Only remove it when all commands and operations are performed.
Requirements:
RUU file for your phone.
Android SDK installed.
Java SDK installed.
HTC Sync
(ADB driver for your phone)
I am assuming you already have the SDKs all installed and set up. If not, you will have to do that first.
You will probably also need the HTC Sync installed on the computer. I think this is required for RUU to work properly. I was only receiving ERROR 170 when running the RUU ("phone not connected" or "not found" or whatever), until I installed HTC Sync. You will find it on HTC website or you can find the old version on your original 2 GB microSD card you got with the phone. I personally prefer the old version because the new HTC Sync feels like bloatware and is resource-hungry for no apparent reason (just some flashy graphics).
You may or you may not need the ADB (Android Debug? Bridge) driver for your phone. I have mine, downloaded from XDA Developers forum years ago. It's said that installing HTC Sync will include the proper drivers for ADB and solve the issue with missing driver for "Android 1.0". I didn't find this to be true. I tried different, supposedly HTC drivers only packages, from different web sources, and none of them worked. Except for the one I found on XDA Developers forum. I'm not 100% sure but I think this driver is only needed when the phone is in recovery mode. But it doesn't hurt to install it just as a precaution or at least have it prepared and ready to install.
To get RUU files:
You can either go to the HTC Developer website and try to locate the files there, or you can visit a website like Shipped-ROMs and try locating a "Bravo" or "Desire". Bravo is the codename for Desire. Then you probably want to download the ones that have "WWE" (World Wide English) in the names. These are based on English but have translations to other languages as well. And you want the ones where it says "HTC" in the name, if your phone is not carrier specific and not re-branded. Mine is not.
This is the name of the RUU file I used:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed.exe
This gave me Android 2.2 which is what I had on my phone when it was new.
Check:
To verify that you have the proper HBOOT version and that you have S-ON you can show the HBOOT menu (volume down + power button). Here is what it should look like.

Patched HBOOT images (Revolutionary & Alpha Rev) are protected against downgrades
Hi k3lcior!
If I was on stock HBOOT, then why did it say "Revolutionary" on top of the screen when I hold Volume down and Power button to enter HBOOT menu?
Yes, I did say I flashed it. Or that's what I thought I did. What I meant is I ran the RUU (ROM Utility Update) for build 2.10.405.2. I mentioned the name of the file in the post above. This is a 166 MB file. It's not an OTA update or anything of that nature, like updates of 30 MB or less. So running the RUU (166 MB) should flash everything on the phone, not just parts of it.
RUU file is big because it includes the ROM, the recovery image, and it should also include the HBOOT image. But for some reason when I ran this it only flashed and replaced my ROM image, and the recovery image. It failed to flash and replace my HBOOT image.
I now know why.
Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is a quote from the AlphaRev website. It's more clear to me now why it didn't work in the first place.
I actually had the "Revolutionary" HBOOT because that's what I used. I used Revolutionary to get S-OFF and root access on Android 2.3.3 on HTC Desire. It of course also installs a custom recovery image (CWM or Clock Work Mod) with "Revolutionary" background and "Revolutionary" printed on HBOOT menu.
So my conclusion is that both "Revolutionary" and "AlphaRev" HBOOT images have this "downgrade protection" feature. That's why running RUU to restore everything to stock version fails to restore the HBOOT image to it's stock version. The HBOOT image on the phone was being protected. That's where the "downgrade image" comes in. You use that to remove the protection first. And then you run the RUU and it will flash everything, including the HBOOT image.
After all, the Revolutionary is a later development based on AlphaRev, and other tools and exploits. So it's not hard to imagine that they share same features. The last time I used AlphaRev and Unrevoked to get root and S-OFF was when I had Android 2.29 (I think it was build 2.29.405.2). I had no problems running the RUU to restore everything back to stock version, including the HBOOT image. But I did not downgrade it that time. I mean I just used the RUU for the same version, as the one that was already on the phone. And of course I didn't use Revolutionary at that time.
So I'm not sure... it's either because of the fact that I used Revolutionary this time (instead of Unrevoked + AlphaRev), or it's because I went from Android 2.3.3 to Android 2.2 (a downgrade), or it's because I was going from HBOOT version 6.93.1002 (came with Revolutionary) to HBOOT version 0.93.0001 which comes with the RUU for (a downgrade).
It may also be that the AlphaRev HBOOT image didn't have the "downgrade protection" until version 1.80. So it's possible that I used some old version of the AlphaRev that didn't have this feature when I rooted and S-OFFed the old Android 2.29.
One of these cases apply, but I'm not sure which one. In either case, I got rid of the custom HBOOT image. It's all back to stock now.

FWIW;
When you visit the AlphaRev website you will see that there is a table with two columns that hold file names and download links. One just says "Download". Th other says "PB99IMG". If you are doing this from a computer, with the phone connected to the computer with a USB cable, then you probably want the files from the column that says "Download".
If you for some reason don't have access to a computer, or you don't know what command prompt is, you don't know how to install the Android SDK so that you can send the fastboot commands... well, whatever the reason may be, then you probably want the files from the column that says "PB99IMG". These are ZIP files that include the same files you will find under "Download", with the addition of some extra files/tools. The idea is to place it on an SD card and let the phone do the rest. It's sort of this "unplugged" and automated way of doing things.
You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.

I'm not sure how it helps renaming a ZIP file. If the file name is "PB99IMG.zip" (with the zip extension already) how does it help renaming it to... something like "PB99IMG.zip.zip"? Is that what they are saying? That you should add one more zip extension to the end of the file name... or that you should add one if there is no extension. I'm not sure what they mean, but I would go with "PB99IMG.zip".
I have not tried this method myself, but this may be easier to use for some user. Instead of having to install the SDK et al. You may be able to even download the ZIP file right on the phone, without even touching a computer. You just need to have it on the SD card of the phone. And enter the HBOOT menu. I guess there is some Bat file or something inside the ZIP file that automates everything else.

@ OP
glad u got sorted. its good to see that u actually took the time to read and understand what u did, unlike other user who just post problems coz they cant be bothered to read anything and try to understand how things work so :good: to u.
Now about the PB99IMG. Your bootloader will only read PB99IMG it so thats why u have to rename it from PB99IMG_downgrade to PB99IMG. The downgrade part is only there so u know what file it is
