I have an rooted HTC Desire(Android 2.2 Froyo) with HBoot 0.80 which was rooted by Goldcard img. etc.
but the recovery is just temporarily and i would like to make it permanent like rooting with unrEVOked Any ideas how to?
I tried to root another time with unrEVOked over the existing but it didn't work
Unrevoked is just a tool to root, not a tool to flash a recovery. You will need to go to fastboot and use adb. Think that command is something like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Here are the 2 recoveries you can use. CWM or Amon (GSM only).
Correct, you need to use fastboot (which is not the same as adb). But before you can flash via fastboot you need to be S-off.
To do so see AlphaRev in sig. Remember you are the only one responseble for you phone, no one else.

Ah right. I don't use fastboot method manually.
I had another HTC desire which I rooted with unrevoked and there the cwm recovery was linked to boot with vol down power -> recovery. If I do that on this HTC desire I end up at the normal recovery where than I have to press vol down up power and then press apply update.zip
You can flash a permanent custom recovery using unrevoked^3 when you root. You'll need the recovery .img file. The only reason it won't work is if you haven't set it up properly (plenty of guides around). You could always reflash your RUU and root through it from scratch.

If it was already rooted you can try to reflash you recovery image with rom manager or put the update.zip manually back on the root of the sd. If that does not work try Unrevoked but that will not flash a permanent recovery image (fake flash), the only way to get a permanent recovery image if by using fastboot and S-off.

That is how the OP is doing it now, albeit not from ROM Manager
You could try running unrEVOked again to flash the recovery but if this doesn't work then you'd need to go back to stock and re-root using unrEVOked
Which RUU should I flash?

How does Unrevoked not flash permanent? Unrevoked flashes the .img to your phones recovery partition - the NAND is temporarily unlocked just enough to flash to so it is like flashing the recovery with S-OFF. That's a permanent flash so every time you boot into Recovery, that's what you'll find. That's as far as I know from when Unrevoked was released (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Koushik usually supplies image files to use specifically with Unrevoked.
The .img files to use with Unrevoked are here (look for Bravo): http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/

Depends on your original country/network carrier. More details to unroot can be found here as well as the RUU link:

hi,
i have an HTC wildfire that is running 2.2.1!!
i wanted to know how i can root my htc wildfire!! i tried using unrevoked but that did not work it kept on failing!! i done a little research on the internet some forums say that i have to downgrade my wildfire to 2.1 in order for me to root it !!!
does anyone have and easier way of rooting the HTC wildfire instead of the long process!!!!!
also is their a new version of unrevoked that can root htc wildfire with the version 2.2.1!!!!! can you post the link please if there is 1!!!!
Much help appreciated!!!!
Thank you in advance!!!!!

The process to root 2.2.1 is far longer than downgrading to 2.1 to rooting
- S-OFF using AlphaRev X
- Push a Custom Recovery
- Push Superuser Binary
The process is outlined in the link I have pasted. There is NO SHORTER WAY, So dont bother asking, and, this method will void your warranty.
And can you, for God's sake, not use so many exclamation marks? It annoys the hell out of someone reading it.
Guide: How to S-Off, Root and install CWM. On a Wildfire running Froyo 2.2.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have just successfully s-offed, rooted and installed CWM on my mates Wildfire and thought it'd be a good idea to outline how I did it.
Apharev X is still in a beta version and I take no responsibility for any damage caused, but it definitely worked for me.
Step1:
Download Apharev X. Follow the instructions exactly. Please note: Presently this only works for Hboot versions 1.01.0001 and 1.01.0002.
To find out what Hboot version your phone has do the following.
Power off the phone.
Hold down the volume down key and at the same time press the power button. This will boot you into your Hboot menu.
Once you are s-off, continue to step 2.
Step2:
Download the latest version of Gingerbreak(v1.20.apk)
Follow the installation instructions in the above post exactly.
Once done, you should be rooted, you can check this by going into your app drawer and seeing if you have the super user app. If you have, then gongrats, your phone is rooted.
Step3:
Installing ClockworkMod so you can make nand backups, flash roms etc etc.
Download and install the Root Toolbox app from the market.
Download the ClockworkMod recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-buzz.img file. Extract the file and make sure you rename it to recovery.img, then place it on the root of your SD card.
Open Root Toolbox and click the advanced button followed by Erase Recovery, once it's done click the Flash Recovery button.
This should have flashed the CWM recovery to your phone. You should now be able to access recovery to install roms, make nand backups etc etc.
Once you're all done, you can uninstall Gingerbreak.
A list of Wildfire roms is available in this thread over at XDA Developers.
Work Great
You made my day, it really works exactly as u describe it.
S-offed, rooted and nand-backedup my Wildfire (or like thai-peaple say: wifi, coz can't a speak it)
hboot:1.01.0001
One needs to download busybox installer to install busybox to make Root Toolbox work, but great guide.
Now i can flash CyanogenMod-7.1

I think you'll have to S-OFF and root again and then flash the stock recovery using fastboot. Just use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 and instead of using a custom recovery use your "stock" package
No need to do s-off again.
If you are on hboot 1.01.0001 just flash the wwe_froyo_ruu. Or even you can use pc49img method. And if you are on hboot 1.01.0002 then you need to use pc49img method from froyo ota.zip of that hboot you used.
And if your hboot is 0.80 you can use the above 2methods of ECLAIR update. Or use unrevoked to point to the stock recovery image from the file menu (but remember on using unrevoked you will get root permissions).
EASIEST METHOD : Flash the ruu or ota that you have taken the hboot from (while reverting back to S-ON).
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Thank you guys i'll try the above mentioned methods
Used the pc49img mathod bot during the fastboot it only reads the zip containing recovery and a blue bar atthe side appears but gives no option to install ......i think it is because that i have done s-on my device due to which it does not allow me to install recovery.
I think i should do s-off again and flash stock recovery using pc49img method and then do s-on again.....give any suggestions then i'll try
You don't have to do s-off.
Now in your case installing recovery through pc49img method means not just installing the recovery alone. If you extract the recovery.img file HTC signature will be lost. And it is in hboot menu and not fastboot menu. What you have to do is to install all official contents without extracting the file. And another important thing is sdcard must be fat32.
If you taken hboot from ota (during reverting to s-on), then this is the way. Extract the contents of ota and you will find firmware.zip . Now donot modify this firmware.zip and just keep it in the root of sdcard. Then rename the firmware.zip to pc49img.zip and reboot to hboot menu.
And if you have taken hboot from an RUU, then just run the RUU process.

Go to shipped roms.com
search for buzz,click on it,
download the ota update according to the software version your phone is running
extract it and inside it you'll find firmware.zip
rename it to PC49IMG.zip place on the sd card reboot the phone holding volume down and power key
it will read the file and ask you to update then click on yes and you are done.......
make sure your card is fat32
Any chance to do that? I`m stuck in custom rom and no chance to flash any of stock ROM`s because of hoot version... Same thing with fastboot.. No chance to flash hoot .nb0 from fast boot.. Thanks in advance
Have you tried using revolutionary?
Or the HTCdev Unlock Tool?
Yes, revolutionary does not support this version of hoot...
And boot loader is unlocked by htcdev site, but that is a problem now for me..
Do you have clockworkmod recovery?
Yes, CWM flashed from fastboot? Is there a way to flash hboot from CWM or..?
What happens when you try flashing a rom from CWM or wiping?
Signature error if i try rom with hboot.img in .zip... I only could flash a rom without hboot.. But my aim is to downgrade hboot...
You can't just flash any .zip file randomly. Especially if it's something as sensitive as the bootloader.
And try flashing a rom in CWM, you might not need to downgrade.
Naturally, I understand that and I understand well how should i have flash.. When i wrote zip rom without hboot i meant Buzz_Froyo_hTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_SAFE_FLASH_ZIP...
I want to downgrade hboot version to be able to use revolutionary instead of htcdev unlocked boot loader, understand me? Mentioned Froyo ROM does`t have hboot image in archive, and that`s why is safe...
I'm not sure if the HTCDev bootloader can even be unlocked.
But don't take my word for it...
I just hope you're wrong.. I hope that team mate from revolutionary have some idea in the future days...
Actualy, after looking at the RUU you were trying to flash. It's "safe". You could try using a "non-safe" one.

Are you trying to flash an ruu Rom.zip from recovery?

@nejc121
Give me the link of "non-safe" to try?
@Scratch0805
Yes, i tried just that, but with no luck...
It can't be done like that, I think the images need unpacking first, if you look inside a custom Rom and compare it to your Rom.zip you'll see the difference.
I don't think you can use PC49IMG after unlocking with HTC dev either so your only option is fastboot and after I read the warning about not going back after using the tool it wouldn't surprise me if they locked it so it can't be flashed with fastboot either.

Every section of Stock ROM i could flash with fastboot, except hboot which is my highest goal... You are right, i can`t use PC49IMG.zip anymore...

Please help me to get S-OFF on my buzz with hboot 1.02.0000 UNLOCKED (Unlocked by HTC DEV SITE guide)
I've got CWM on my wildfire, and used gingerbreak to get superuser privileges, but CWM recovery mode doesen't work anyway, when i try to boot my buzz in CWM Recovery Mode, appears a RED Triangle with an "!" and I can't do anything but if i press Vol UP and Power Button, appears a menu with:
- reboot
- update with update.zip
- wipe cache
- wipe data factory/cache
I've tried all of these options, but it doesen't work.
I've tried with revolutionary, but it doesen't work, when i start the .exe file, it says
"buzz, with hboot 1.02.0000 is not supported at this time"
I think my issue is because of I didn't get S-OFF on Hboot 1.02.0000 .

when the bootloader is unlocked using the HTCdev method ,there is no s-off required.. BTW try flashing the cwm recovery again using the fastboot method becoz the options you mentioned seem incomplete..maybe after doing this you may get "install zip from sd" option in cwm recovery so that you can flash custom roms..
Alternative: You can rename the custom rom to update.zip and put directly on sd (not in any folder) and choose "update with update.zip" option which you already have in cwm recovery.

Thanks so much, but...
- my CWM recovery mode doesen't work
- i've already tried to rename my rom in "update.zip", but it says "firmware invalid"
- is there another way to flash a ROM???
I've my Wildfire (no carrier attached) with below details.
ROM - Stock Froyo, 2.2.1
Kernel - 2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
Software number - 2.25.720.1
HBOOT - 1.02.0000
S-ON
My objective
To have my device rooted and then flush a custom ROM.
What I did
1. Used a RUU from htcdev and ran it (file name "PC4910000_Buzz_Froyo_hboot_1.02.0000_R3")
2. Unlocked boot loader using the process mentioned in their website (now my phone shows "UNLOCKED" in volume rocker+power button start mode)
3. Used unrEVOked 3.2/reflash package to root my phone.
Now my problem
unrEVOked did not work. Because it does not support my HBOOT version.
I have tried with revolutionary before, with no other effect.
My Question
Apart from using a goldcard, can I use another WWE RUU to get HBOOT 1.01.0000?
It could have been better option for me!! Though, I could not find a RUU with HBOOT 1.01.0000.
Since you have already unlocked your bootloader you may be able to root your phone by using gingerbreak 1.2.
I personally installed Clockworkmod recovery then installed su through clockworkmod to root my phone.
I have unlocked my phone from htcdev website.
Can you please inform me of the process that I need to follow to install Clockworkmod recovery after that?
Note: I have tried with PC49IMG.zip and booting from Volume Down+Power Button. It hung for a long time showing "parsing the file".
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21310836&postcount=22 information from 3xeno and used the Fastboot method and got clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0. (PC49IMG.zip method does not work)
Afterwords I made a nandroid backup from clockworkmod recovery. (just in case)
Then I downloaded http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
and installed it from clockworkmod recovery to get root.

Well, the method you followed sounds good, and I tried it.
Somehow, my phone was not detected by "fastboot" ("fastboot devices" returned nothing, so the rest of the things failed).
I downgraded my HBOOT later with Goldcard, but now can't have any recovery as my phone is not detected.
Yippee!!! Revolutionary did it for me!!
Got S-OFF, HBOOT 6.01.002.
Now I'll flash custom ROM.
Thanks
Nice to know that you were successful.
