Need help flashing recovery.

Hi people.
I got some problems and some questions.
Until now I was perfectly happy with CWM 2.5.0.1 Recovery, BUT, I found out about newer recoveryes, so I decided to flash one.
NOW!
I'm VERY pissed off because I can't flash it.
I tried unrEVOked method, won't work, it pushes recovery but gets stuck on WAITING FOR BOOTLOADER; MAKE SURE ALL DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED. And yes, I have all drivers installed (ones that came with HTC Sync and Android 1.0 usb driver) and I tried with unrEVOked 3.14 and with the latest unrEVOked. So, thats all about that method and we can see it DOESN'T work.
Off to the next one:
I tried flashing the image with terminal emulator. Once again I did all the steps good: Copied the recovery.img to the root of SD card, entered t.e. and wrote the command (su to get superuser access and then flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img).
Once again, NOTHING.
Then I tried using ROM manager from CWM. It flashes a recovery but I can only access that recovery through ROM manager but not through bootloader, that one gets me back to 2.5.0.1.
So I would REALLY appreciate if I can get some help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards from pissed off and unhappy me.

buddy , though you are my friend , but maybe you need to re-write your last comment specially number 1) .. its really not good though
regarding 2) what you wrote exactly in terminal ?
only 1 line ?

Seriously mate, just install Android SDK, and use the Fastboot option. Easy as pie and no issues at all.
Install Android SDK, then, get the Recovery.IMG file of the Clockworkmod version you want to flash. Place this in the SDK's Tools folder. Then, reboot your Wildfire in the bootloader mode, Enter Fastboot mode (Press Power button on Fastboot).
Then, open Command Prompt on Windows, cd (browse) to the SDK's tools folder and type the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done.
Screenshot here (My SDK is installed in D:\Android)

AFAIK, You dont even need SDK installed. Just the Fastboot and binary will do, which can be obtained here: (Still, not very sure of this process, as I had the SDK installed a long time back)

please help!!! android SDK says (waiting for device) when my tattoo is in fastboot usb mode. it finds my device when my tattoo is on.

I've the same problem... If you have another way to flash recovery depends on S-ON/S-OFF stuff. Take a look at this thread the part 6: Custom Recoveries
If your buzz is S-ON (like mine) there isn't any other way but unrevoked but it doesn't seem to work, at least if your phone is already rooted

u do have all your windows drivers setup, do u?

Hey, Think I have the battery drain problem with runnymede AIO Rom, was it flashing AMON RA recovery that solved it? or the whole process? I don't have an SD problem.

for the battery Drain problem.. you can do following things..
1. Wipe Battery stats
2. Install snq kernel
3. If above two doesn't work than only... try the two "oem commands" as I writtten in the procedure..
Actually every time you flash a ROm or everytime deleting and using the phone.. a extra data related to everything as cache configuration is stored in the MEMORY which acually u can not see but it eats battery...
The oem commandsd erases that thing and after this..it is like a new memory having completely blank..
BUT AFTER DOING THIS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER ANY DATA ON PHONE MEMORY IF ACCIDENTLY DELETED..
you will need to flash a new Inatall of same ROM..or whichever you want...

YES! You saved my sanity AND my phone! many many thanks!

I am a bit lost...
ADB cannot be used when the phone is in bootloader. So after the instruction to put the phone in to bootloader the proceeding instructions which say:
type adb devices [enter]
type adb shel [enter]
won't achieve anything. In other words, adb devices (whilst the device is in bootloader) will not find any attached devices.
adb "shel" isn't a valid command. Do you mean adb "shell" ? If so, this too isn't going to work while the device is in bootloader, adb will simply reply with "error: device not found".
So I guess what I'm trying to ask is - what is the point of those typing those two commands? In this instance, they don't serve any purpose and can be omitted?

these two commands repairs the USB brick also improves battery life and gives exact information about battery uses.. you will see this after flashing a ROM..
adb shel is correct command..it open the list of commands and details of phone...

If you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader, you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img.

yes im on S-ON with an unlocked bootloader
but how i can make the fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img
im not smart in the phone world Sorry

Assuming you are an HTC Desire HD or Inspire 4G user, are S-On, have an unlocked bootloader, and are stuck on the boot splash after flashing a ROM, you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img as follows.
1. Get the boot.img: unzip the ROM zip on your PC and navigate into the folder from the file manager. You should see a boot.img file. Open a terminal there (in Windows, shift-rightclick in the folder; if using Linux or Mac, I expect you to know how to do this).
2. Put your phone in fastboot mode: connect your phone to the computer, reboot into hboot by holding power + volume-down, navigate to "fastboot" with the volume buttons, and select it with the power button.
3. Fastboot flash the boot.img: from the command window,
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Reboot.
Note: you will need to do this each time you flash a ROM, but not each time you restore a nandroid.

I don't use this phone anymore, but look around the Development forums. The most active ROM threads float to the top. The OPs will give you a good idea of what each ROM is like.

Flash boot.img is only necessary for s-on. If you have s-off device, just flashing rom in recovery is enough.

If you unlocked your bootloader you are S-On. Make sure by rebooting into the bootloader (hold power and volume-down). Read my signature for the boot.img thing.

i already read your signature, but now i realized that i overread this:

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,

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

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.

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?

Hey Guys, I did a factory reset and the phone went don't:
I can't access to Download Mode.
It doesn't charge
I Can't flash RUU (Because I can't access to the download mode)
I Can't access to the recovery.
It is stuck in this white screen.
*I tried installing the TWRP (Sucess!) , Installing boot.img (from Bad boyz ROM) (Success) but the error is still there, I can't access to the recovery neither.
It has S-OFF
It has unlock bootloader.
Any solution please?
HTC 10 Sprint version.

Do you have the android sdk installed on a PC? if so you can boot directly into the the ruu download mode without actually having to reboot into download mode.
From the bootloader screen connect your pc with usb c cable
navigate to where your sdk/platform tools hold shift and right click and choose open command prompt here
type in the command
fastboot oem rebootRUU

The thing is, the phone doesn't charge. So I tried to Run the RUU but it showed "battery below 30%" , I need at least the phone charge, But I don't know how.

you can also flash recovery from fastboot oem rebootRUU if you have a copy of twrp place it in the same folder as the platform tools and execute the command
fastboot flash recovery <nameoftherecovery>.img
then
fastboot reboot recovery
it should charge in recovery

do you have a rom zip saved on your computer? if you do place it in the same folder as adb.
run fastboot oem rebootRUU again
once it reboots into RUU run the command
fastboot flash zip <nameofrom>.zip

Also head over to omj'S thread and down the firmware in the zip file and put that on your sdcard if you have one. It should give you the option to install from the sdcard

I really appreciate your effort and your help for this issue.
I can't access to the download mode and recovery mode neither. It always stucks on the HTC logo, I only have access to the Bootloader mode (The White Screen) that's the problem. When I tried to enter to download more or Recovery mode, it stucks in the HTC Logo :/

Up!

I had a very similar problem as OP and I was able to get my HTC 10 (unlocked NA edition) to take an RUU after following this suggestion. Specifically I got the decrypt tool here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-htc-ruu-rom-decryption-t3382928
