[Q] HTC Desire Recovery Problems

Hello
I have a small problem to get to the Recovery, every time I try to get the Recovery mode, it keeps getting an error, I want to upgrade it to android 4.0 for HTC Desire, and I have Android 2.3 on it now.
Could anyone please help me.
Thanks in advance

Get s-off and flash custom recovery (4ext)

In short. You don't have recovery, it's not an error.

Guys I have a similar problem (i think), I bought this used. I have an s-off boot screen with the Joker on it and have clockworkmod 5.02.. recovery plus a .90 Hboot on. It was on cm7 or sth and when ive tried flashing ics sense and supernova, Im stuck on that screen.
I've to take off my battery then insert it back to go to recovery. Volume down+power aint working for me, looks like the whole (-) button is messed up.
Kindly point me in the right direction. Thanks

Where should I get that recovery.img from? Also, isn't htc fastboot a terminal on its own meaning a program?

Usually from the recovery-thread.
But if you want to flash 4EXT-recovery, you do not need an img-file. Just download the 4EXT Recovery from thread (free) or from Play Store (paid, for donation), start the app and follow instructions.

After downloading the fastboot-files, you can extract them and then start CMD in Windows, switch to the extracted folder and you can run ADB / Fastboot just fine [at least for Windows, for Linux / Mac it's a little more complicated (see the guide jn my sig)]. So it's not really a "stand-alone"-program.

Stuck on boot

This is a new one for me...
My wife Desire is on a weird bootloop. I can get to bootloader, but don't have access to recovery. Tried to flash a new one, no effect.
Last time something like this happened, nothing worked, so as adviced here, I switched to stock hboot, downgraded, and ran a RUU to full stock.
This time, tried to change hboot to stock, but as soon as I send fastboot reboot-bootloader it goes to an endless boot loop on white HTC screen.
Tryed running RUU with CM/ r2 hboot, but on first reboot to bootloader, it got also stuck on boot loop.
Alpharev Cm7 r2
S-Off
Hboot-6.93.1002

if its Desire HD u should post this in HTC Desire HD Q&A as this is htc desire forum. u will get a better response there.
also i dont think u can run a ruu on cm7r2 hboot, has to be stock.

Sorry, my phone is HD, Wife's just Desire.
I know it should be stock, but just cant change hboot... I was trying to return to stock, then downgrade hboot, but when rebooting bootloader is goes to a bootloop, wont go back to bootloader, and hboot stays the same.
Trying the RUU com CM7 was a desperate measure...

go to Desire Q&A/stickies (first post) and read bortaks troubleshooting guide

Is your desire recognised in fastboot? Are you still s-off after RUU?

Yes, I can access bootloader by pressing volume down+power, or directly to fastboot by back+power.
In fastboot, I can run every command, flash hboot, flash recovery, etc, but when I choose reboot bootloader, it enters a bootlopp in White screen with green HTC logo.
Is i choose power-off, same result.
I tried changing hboot:
fastboot flash hboot file.zip
fastboot erase cache (tryed it before and after rebooting bootloader)
fastboot-reboot bootloader
Instead of rebooting to bootloader, I get thr bootloop...
The RUU process don't even start, because in the process it trys to reboot the phone into bootloader...

just to check, you should be flashing an hboot.img, not a .zip file.
instructions on alpharev:
- fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img (where 'bravo_alphaspl' is the name of your file)
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- fastboot erase cache
you should see a 'success!' message or something like that in the command window if you manage to flash it
also make sure you verify the md5 sums of any hboot before flashing them (look for md5check online)

have u tried to change the hboot via the PB99IMG way? personaly i would keep trying to find a way to get into recovery rather than trying to get full s-on. hopefully kotag can help

before flashing ruu do this:
Reboot into fastboot via vol dn+power
Then...
Flash an RUU that wipes every bits in your phone then return to shop.(If it's still in warranty or else buy a One X )
OR...
Download a flashable RUU ZIP, place it onto ur sdcard and reboot into bootloader. It should work if you've got the correct file. If u don't know how there's thousands of guides on Google.

You should be able to run a RUU on a custom hboot if you flash the downgrader before. Maybe that works? It should just change the hboot version number.

Follow tutorial again from beginning...
Or try to flash recovery.

Maybe you try to repeat the whole process making sure you don't repeat the mistake as well.
I think as long as you can start the phone in fastboot, you can erase cache, flash boot.img...
BTW, did you manage to push recovery? If not, try doing that too. Good luck.

To get the phone charging, follow this :
Download bellow
http://www.speedyshare.com/3bgpQ/battery.bat.txt
and then transfer this into your platformtools folder or where you have the fastboot.exe
and double click the battery.bat
this will take a while to charge so leave it over night and you will be able to use RUU again, did this last night for myself.

Hello everybody
thank's Jadc007, it's working, the phone charge, but there's a problem, it blocks at 3680mV, and according to what i've read on the net, it must have 3800 mv minimum to flash an RUU.
is it inevitable to gofor repair?

First flash cwm recovery 5.8.4.0 with your current charge with
Fastboot flash recovery cwmrec.img
Substitute your recovery filename with cwmrec.img
With this recovery you will be able to charge while the phone is off. With full charge flash the ruu.

hit reboot...it reboots back into fastboot
trying to go into recover....it reboots back into fastboot
power down ...it reboots back into fastboot

Any solution yet?
I have the same problem.
My Hboot Version is 1.39
I tried to install the Adnroid Revolution HD Rom.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
There is an ICS and an JB Version, i tried both (also the bootloader), doesn't matter which one i choose, i still end up in fastboot mode.
Flashing the RUU gives me errors, so back to stock is not possible.
I can still access the CWM Recovery.
Any solutions yet?

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?
Sent from my HTC Desire

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?
bravo pvt?
hboot?
etc etc

ok download PB99IMG and put on ur sdcard then hold volume down + power
when bootloader asks to update recovery? press volume up for yes
then it asks to reboot? volume down for no. Then try get into recovery.
or use android flasher to flash recovery.img
Hopefully this will work.
attached files are Amon-Ra Recovery
MD5 for PB99IMG - ec685fe5077341b9b2e89467db861a00
MD5 for recovery.img - 528d44d511a27eb30c3105ed54078130

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnd.....
No.
I'm out of hope now... PB99IMG is beeing installed correctly, but i still can't get into the recovery.
Fastboot/android flasher freezes when installing recovery.
WTF??!

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!

[help] desire boot into fastboot directly !

Hello,
I have a problem with a desire , it boot directly into the fatboot mode; and I tried to flash it from the sd card, it hangs when updating the bootloader , and when I remove the battery it doesn't turn on, and no longer charge from the charger until I charge the battery alone.
I tried to flash the "bravo-alphasspl.img" but it refused the commande fastboot and crashes with the sd card
it's an PVT1 model which are known for their problem
do you think a hardware problem or is there a software solution?
the rom that I tried to flash is : WWE_2.29.405.5.zip
the hboot version is 0.93
