Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this!
I have tried to do research on my problem but can't solve it...
The problem is that i can't get into recovery to backup my stock rom.
Specs: HTC Wildfire S, marvel A510e, S-on, Bootloader unlocked, Rooted, Radio-7.54.39.28M, Andriod 2.3.5, HTC sence: 2.1, Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, Super SU.
I followed the guide: "How to root the Wildfire S with S-ON"on Andriod forums by CafeKampuchia, thumbs up for him, It got me this far but, now I want to do the thing for which I rooted my phone in the first place: Installing a costum ROM. Therefore I want to backup my stock ROM.
When I open in HBOOT (1.09.0099) and select recovery, the phone reboots and i see the HTC screen, this disappears after 2 sec and my screen turns black... (phone is still on beceause the buttons on the bottom are lighted.)
When I boot the normal way and try to boot into recovery trough CWM ROM manager same thing happen. Also flashed this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229 Same thing happed...
So how can i backup my stock rom?
Many thanks in advantage!

settings>power>fastboot-check that too,then CWM and reboot in recovery...there you have option backup and restore...choose that,choose backup..and wait till its done...reboot and you have you current rom backed up...
Hope this help you..if not tell me what recovery version did you flashed
P.S maybe its better to pull out battery when you chck fastboot in settings...power off your phone and pull out batt...then put it in and hold power key and volume down at the same time...then choose recovery
Had some break trough with my phone.. I flashed my stock recovery from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1426611
Now when i opened recovery in hboot it gave the triangle with an ! sign. Than i pushed the power button and it gave me: Android system recovery <3e> with 4 options to chose.
Reboot system now
Aplly update from sdcard
Wip[e date/factory reset
Wip chase partition
And finaly in yellow it said: E: Cant open /cache/recovery/command
So where do i go from here?

I can't get into recovery.. either ways. trough CWM or via hboot.
I just reflashed my stockrom and flashed the following recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
This actually made it worse, recovery just kills the phone... So think i'm going to reflash stock recovery again.

Hello!
We have already faced this problem. We cannot find the reason why on some devices CWM is not working. It is characteristic for some devices. The decision is not found yet. We used all known methods for today, and all CWM versions (5.0.2.6 & 5.0.2.8), but are not present result.
Colleagues from 4pda.ru
You might try placing update zip on root of your sdcard and choose apply update from sdcard.
Too bad it doesn't have reinstall packages.

Thanks, to do what exactly? Use it to rename recovery file to update.zip and flash it that way?
CWM is installed, even different versions.. Any damn problem is i can';t get into recovery.
Is there any other way to backup stock ROM besides recovery?!?!?!

Maybe try different versions of superuser and busybox. Use app like titanium backup to check versions.

didn't work I already tried.I want to know what kinds of things relate to recovery，kernel？booting？
factory reset....
Now i was stupid enough to press factory reset in HBOOT.... -_-
After boot the phone keeps loading...
Any opties?
Try Alquez's PG76IMG unofficial cwm recovery. Put it on root of sdcard and boot into hboot. Accept update to install recovery.

Hi, after attempting to flash a custom ROM to my phone I'm experiencing a big problem, the phone will not boot past the HTC screen. This is obviously very frustrating as the phone is pretty much rendered useless.
I am able to get into the HBOOT menu by holding the Power button and Volume Down and from there am able to select Recovery and enter the ClockWork Mod recovery screens. As you can tell I'm a 100% noob and I really just want to revert my phone to a working state. My network is Vodafone UK. I can't find an RUU above version 3.13 which is apparently what I have (so it tries updating 3.13 to 3.13 and obviously fails).
Any help on getting my phone to work again would be very very appreciated, thanks.

Download a ROM onto your computer, connect to your phone in recovery, mount the sdcard, move the ROM from your computer onto your phone's sdcard, and flash from recovery. No need for RUU.
Dont forget to wipe.
wipe data/factory reset and format all partitions (except sd card) from recovery.
Go to bananagranolas link in her signature, you'll find everything you need there.
Thanks a lot for your help! I was attempting to flash the JellyTime ROM which I understand must have failed to result in my phone not booting properly. Should I flash a stock ROM or will any ROM suffice?

As long as you are S-OFF and have a custom recovery (CMW or 4EXT) you are able to flash any custom rom you like. Just make sure that you make a full wipe before the flashing (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, format system or in 4ext recovery just choose format all partitions except sdcard).
That should leave you up and running again.
Okay great!
I used the HTCDev tools to unlock my boot loader which I understand is different to S-OFF? Could that be while the ROM flashing failed originally?
EDIT: Upon trying to flash the JellyTime AKOP Rom I get a message saying install from SD card complete but it's still stuck at the HTC screen...

If you have an unlocked bootloder, then you have to flash the rom (previous full wipe of course) then reboot bootloader (from advanced options in CWM) and then in fastboot (you should see fastboot usb in red in the phone when plugged to the pc) you have to flash the boot.img inside the rom zip folder.
Extract that file only (not the whole rom) and from a cmd session or terminal as root (located where the boot.img file is) type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that is done (you will get OKAY. finished near the bottom) you can reboot normally by typing in cmd fastboot reboot or choosing reboot from hboot.
My bootloader now says RELOCKED, how can I unlock it again? (I'm really sorry about this)

Use the token HTC sent you when u unlocked it. and typing in cmd the fastboot unlock command.
Okay done that, thanks a lot!
I'm now looking in the advanced options of CWM, I can see the option "Reboot Recovery" but no "Reboot Bootloader"?

Okay, I wiped all partitions, installed JellyTime AOKP, restarted, went into fastboot, extracted/flash boot file and the rebooted phone.
The phone will now progress from the HTC screen but is now stuck on a black screen, Windows tried to install drivers but failed....

Was the boot.img file flashed successfully?
Yes it said so...
EDIT: Not sure if this is an issue with the ROM of if I'm doing something wrong? I went to the "mounts and storage" section of CWM and clicked all the format options accept sdcard. I then installed ROM, went into fastboot and flashed boot.img, it said OKAY twice then finished. Still stuck at black, backlit screen after HTC screen. ROM is JellyTime by randomblame.

that is weird. Try flashing a different rom then and see what happens. flash the boot image first and then the the rom in recovery.

I've just tried flashing the boot image first and then installing JellyTime AOKP, same black screen. Maybe I should try a Gingerbread ROM? That's the Operating system I had before, is there a known working ROM?

EDIT: well, don't I feel stupid. I knew full well from reading that your phone wasn't working, but posted a link to an app. Just not paying attention. Sorry about that.
VBQ24,
You can go back to stock by flashing a stock RUU from your PC.
(Edit: You should relock your bootloader first. you can do so from Hboot. There's an option that says relock bootloader or something like that)
The version of the RUU should be equal or greater to the version that came with your phone. Try this v3.13
However, if you want to flash a custom ROM:
You need to downgrade your device first, get s-off and root, then flash a custom ROM
You need to use the Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK), get it from here.
Make sure to read the manual (called 'effin manual) word by word. There are instructions on how to downgrade.
Follow the instructions, and if you have any questions, ask here.
I wanted to flash a RUU, re-root and flash a ROM, but apparently my device didn't like that.
OK, so here's exactly what I did, in this order. (with an unlocked bootloader)
Flashed stock recovery
Booted into stock recovery and wiped data and cache
Locked Bootloader (Becasue If I lock bootloader first I can't get into recovery)
Let hboot flash the RUU file on the SD card without being plugged into PC
Tried to reboot to system and recovery, it brings me back to hboot
After all that^^ I unlock the bootloader, and when trying to boot to system it gets past the HTC screen, then stuck at the CM logo (the ROM I was using before any issue happened) which is why I'm assuming the RUU didn't even flash at all.
Also, if I try to flash CWM, if I wipe data I'm getting
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Same with /.android_secure.
Any help would be extremely appreciated, because right now I feel like I'm working with a pretty hard brick.

Hold on, you said you were able to select factory restore inside of the stock recovery and it went through smoothly correct?
So have the bootloader unlocked
Flash stock recovery
factory restore to wipe that side of the partition
Go into the bootloader again flash CWM or TWRP or Philz Recovery.
Wipe/Factory restore now.
If this works this should fix the error on /data.
Then flash CM again.
It is because the RUU just writes the partition to stock. It doesn't clear anything extra that's there. CM has its own partition called "0" on the /sdcard aka the "root" folder.

So I attempted to root my HTC Desire 816 dual sim. I managed to get it to work following instructions I found from this site. I then went on to try and install Cyanongenmod onto my device, I can't remember where the site was that I was following but I had to, within CMW recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cashe, format system and format partition.
I did all this then tried to flash this ROM but it said it was the wrong ROM for my device and it said my device was htc_a5dug. which I've had no luck finding anywhere.
Now the phone will only boot into CMW recovery, I can install superSU but any other ROMs I've tried it has aborted automatically, if i restart the system from CMW, it comes up saying there is no root access, root missing /system/xbin/su ( see one of the attached pictures)
I've managed to get it restarted to the bootloader page twice (happens randomly when I select restart to bootloader from CMW) (pictures of bootloader in attatchments showing no OS)
I have a feeling I've totally stuffed my phone when i formatted the system and partition
If anyone has any idea how I can get this fixed I would be so greatful.
PS I'm feeling quite noobish right now

[edit] OK I flashed a recovery stock.img file, then I got a red triangle, the phone rebooted and now its stuck on the htc android startup screen and I can't turn the phone off. so Ill have to wait till the battery runs flat.
In the mean time more suggestions and guidance would be super.

Found a backup and my phone is now working again, Thank you very much for helping.
Remember there is a golden rule always make a backup when you want to flash something new
After I unlocked bootloader on my device, I did backup of all partitions (boot, data, recovery, system, system image) via TWRP first. Later, I rooted the phone and started removing bloatware. But I missclicked some important system app(s) and removed them along with bloat, making my ROM lose some of its functions. I thought it was no big deal as I did a full backup. So I rebooted into TWRP, wiped all partitions and then restored them. Since then I'm always stuck at HTC boot logo. I tried wipe and restore many, many times again, but I always get stuck at boot logo...
I can reboot into download mode, bootloader or TWRP with no problems. When in download mode, I can also see device on my PC via fastboot. My device is S-ON. Can someone someone tell me what did I do wrong / give me an advice to fix this?
