As Jayharper08 said, the easiest, and first thing to try would be to re flash your recovery. The easiest way to do that would be with rom manager, providing you can boot into the rom still. If you can no longer get to the rom, flash the PC36IMG attatched (Amon Ra Supersonic V2.3 recovery) using your bootloader. To do that, download the file, make sure its named exactly PC36IMG, put it on the main directory of your sd card. Power the phone down, and boot to bootloader. It will find the PC36IMG and ask you to update. Select volume up to say yes. Once it's done, from the bootloader, select recovery. You should now boot to the Amon Ra recovery screen. That should work.

Crap!!! I tried it !!! re flashed clockworkmod....rebooted into recovery...still same loop....I installed the file ( PC36IMG into the root folder) ziped,
or should i extract the file from my PC? ) if not...back to the same loop, recovery,fastboot,fastboot,recovery,,,an so and so and so...
Now...Rom manager gives me the option of flashing a Rom from sd card....but i think i can not do that without wiping!!!

Make sure you keep it zipped. You don't want to extract it. Make sure it is all caps. Hope you get it! If you can get back to rom manager try to flash the alternative recovery (which will be RA)

Don't unzip the file. Just make sure it's named exactly PC36IMG, and on the main directory of your sd card. Then when you boot to the bootloader, it should ask you to update, select yes. If that goes successfully, you should have Amon's recovery. If it's successful (or appears to be) and you still don't have recovery, I'd say you need to unroot and start all over. Does your bootloader currently show S-on or S-off?

Thanks, somehow after one rebot, I could go into recovery menu!.

Help for Issue after unlocking

Hi all,
its bad, that i must ask you, but idk what i can do know
I have unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev.com. All is fine. I have installed CustomRom and CustomRecovery and so on.
Then i read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457992
and flashed the radio.img extracted from rom_01.zip.
After this i was unlocked, but still s-on. Then i had the problem: my phone wants start. All its easy i thought, i had an nandroid-backup. So i boot into HBOOT and select recovery. Then i was shocked. The same comes like the boot into normal rom.
The phone was in a bootloop in splash screen.
No recovery possible. So i thought, i can flash the recovery new. I download the unofficial clockworkmod. Then i try to boot into recovery, but the same bootloop.
Then i tried to flash the RZR recovery. The recovery starts, but after seconds it comes the splashbootloop.
Now i extracted rom_02.zip and flash via HBOOT. Now i try again to boot into recovery: same bootloop.
Then i flash the boot.img of the official RUU (2.13.x) and the recovery. After this i see the red !. I restart phone and try to go in recovery, but same bootloop.
Then i install the cwm recovery again. I can start once into recovery, but i can't mount the sdcard.
So, i have all did, what i know. Has anyone an idea?

Download this
http://www.mediafire.com/?t28abu6pd5835e3
Extract the ROM.zip file
Rename to PG76IMG.zip
Put it at the root of the SD card
Boot into recovery

What is that, the name is gingerbread, but idk if it is working for that.
And i can't reboot into recovery
But i will try!

You are very funny, thats are only the extracted files of the ruu and not the best help, bc i have used the ruu, not better

I have no better idea sorry.

Well, what I would try in that situation is:
extract rom01 and rom02, rename it to PG76IMG.zip and flash them both together. use a card reader to access sd card.
then, go to fastboot and flash boot, system and recovery from the latest official EU ruu.
then flash custom recovery.
unfortunately there's no way to fastboot-flash the radio images, although they are signed.

Can you get to fastboot USB?
I would say download this... and flash from SD card (Gold card)
It's RUU 2.13 2.3.5 EU
Hope it works and you'll also be the 1000'th downloader so that makes you a winner already!
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

How i flash this. If i use PG76IMG.zip in SD-Card it says:
Main version is older
And if i try to flash via fastboot update PG76IMG.zip
if says error while openening package.
Maybe i can unpack this package and edit android-info to edit the mainversion and repack, but then the radio wont flash
I sent the phone to amazon, they sent it to arvarto in germany, and i hope, that nobody found that it is unlocked.

with a big fat *** UNLOCKED *** inside the HBOOT screen? Good luck.

Maybe they don't boot into hboot. It is very expensive to pay employee's and better to change the phone

I had to send my wildfire back because of a broken charge port, they rebuilt the phone with new parts. They'll find out. They'll probably still fix it but charge you more.

[Q] Revolutionary failed when trying to install Clockwork mode recovery

Hello,
today I decided to s-off, root, install different ROM,.. on my HTC Desire (GSM). I've started with Revolutionary software to do S-OFF and install Clockworkmod recovery but it didn't succed. S-OFF went fine (I can see that my phone is now S-OFF) but when it tried to install Clockworkmode recovery, it failed. Short message appeared for few second and there was written something like this:
Installing Clockworkmode recovery failed
attemp 2,...
Try to install Clovkworkmode recovery manually wia bootloader, fast bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or something like that. I wasn't able to remember that.
Can you give me some advice what to do know and what happened?
Is it safe to install that recovery manualy now?
And one more question. I haven't unlocked bootloader before that because I haven't seen any ***LOCKED*** when I pressed volume "down + power button". Have I messed something?
Now my HBOOT changed to 6.93.1002 (from 0.9.0001)
Thank you guys!

Im not sure why the recovery installation failed, but based on the fact that the s-off went successfully everything should be fine.
I would recommend installing 4ext recovery. Its overall a better recovery for the desire, and the process of installing it is easier.
Download the apk on to your phone from here :http://www.4ext.net/
Then just install the apk, and and download + flash recovery...I dont remember the exact process, but you should be able to work it out since everything is done through the app itself rather than fastboot and whatnot.
Another way to install it is to put this zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751258 (dont rename it), onto the root of your sd card. Then boot into hboot (power+volume down) and wait a few seconds. It should find the PB99IMG.zip and ask if you want to install it. Select yes using volume up, and once its done reboot.

Thank you for assistance.
I've been searching on the internet for many hours and I was decided to use Unrewoked to root + instal Clockw.. But you recommend me 4ext which (I suppose) requires root. But I wanted to use unrewoked because it looks very easy to use. Would you recommend me some other simple way to achieve root? Because 4ext looks really good (I red about it before).
Btw, then how do I launch 4ext when I want to use it? It app, so I won't use "Vol. down + power", right? But then how can it install some ROM, backup,... when it's app which is launched AFTER android boots up?

you dont need to use unrevoked. Its probably better to install 4ext recovery, then flash a root zip in recovery (This will give you root).
You dont need to have root to install recovery-you just need s-off. Also the app isnt the recovery...it just installs the recovery and allows you to change settings and stuff. To launch recovery, you boot into hboot and select recovery. (nothing to do with the app)
This is what you need to do to install 4ext and root the phone (its pretty easy):
-Download this root file and put it on your sd card: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
-read the instructions in my last post to see how to install 4ext
-boot into hboot and choose recovery
-once 4ext is loaded choose install zip from sd card
-find the zip that you downloaded earlier and install it
-reboot the phone. You should see a superuser app in your app drawer.

Done. But 4ext shows me some message which I have to admit I don't understand. Can you explain it to me, please?
ATTN: recovery is in safe mode this is because the following partition is not accessible: "system"
Please enter the wipe menu and format system!
If you changed hboot you should choose to format all partitions (except sdcard)
Afterwards please reboot recovery.

And now I can install that 4ext .apk and control this recovery from the app?

ok so you dont need to install the app then.
The error isnt much of an issue...i get it sometimes too.
Try deleting the 4ext folder from the sdcard.
So you flashed the root zip as well?

So I have to update 4ext manualy wia .zip files? Where can I get them?
And if I can continue, can you explain me something? For exaplne one unnamed ROM has this req: Root + S-OFF (STOCK HBOOT)
I have Root + S-OFF but stock HBOOT is irelevant. What is stock HBOOT? Mine has changed when I S-ON -> S-OFF (0.93.0001 -> 6.93.1002)

Ok at this point everything is done with updating 4ext...forget about that. It is installed.
Have you ever flashed an hboot? Im guessing that you havent. In this case, you can just continue with flashing the rom of your choice.
Just make sure that before you flash the rom you go to the wipe menu in recovery and choose Format all partitions except sdcard.
Which rom are you flashing? Some roms require you to have an sd-ext partition and will not work unless you have one.

I would like to try for example this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131790
I've choosen this one because it requires a bit more that just download and install so I can learn more right away.

So what about that HBOOT number? It will change everytime I wipe some ROM and install new one? Otherwise I don't understand which version of HBOOT I need.

Ok this is a good rom, its what i use. All you need to do is follow this guide :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37383522#post37383522 (Use the 4ext method and start at step 4)
Then flash the rom (full wipe, then flash), and once the rom has booted open terminal emulator and type these commands (press enter after each line):
su
a2sd install
y
n

Your hboot version wont change unless you flash a new one. For this rom you dont need a different hboot...stock is fine. Im using this rom right now with stock and it awesome.

If you have not changed your hboot anytime earlier then you are on stock hboot. The ROM should work just fine on stock hboot. Hboot doesnt change everytime you install new ROM.
You also need a ext4 partition and make sure you partition your sd card correctly using 4ext recovery or gparted.

It's working. Thank you both guys especialy chromium96 who saved me at the begining
One more question. When I type a2sd install and do move dalvik cachce to sd card, will it be removed when I click on "wipe dalvik cache" in 4ext? Because it's moved away.

when you wipe dalvik cache it will be rebuilt on the next boot.

I meant situation when you type a2sd install and write Y to allow relocate dalvik cache to sd card. This is what I've meant. If 4ext can wipe dalvik cache when it's relocated on sd card and not in phone memory.

[Q] Bricked HTC One need help please

So tonight around 6pm EST I noticed that there was a Cyanogen mod nightly for my wife's Verizon htc one. I also noticed that there was an update function so I decided to give it a try. However, I didn't realize I had yet to make a backup of her current ROM. I thought I had done this when I originally rooted the phone... HUGE MISTAKE NUMBER 1. Once the update was flashed it gave me an error and began boot looping. I tried to find the original version of Cyanogen but could not locate it on the device. Since the HTC One doesn't have an SD card and I Don't have the special OTG USB I couldn't get the storage to mount to add a new ROM. After 2 hours of searching I was finally able to Push a ROM to her device but I kept getting an E: Error executing updater binary... <--- this error I researched only to find that I couldn't flash the rom I was trying to lash in the latest TWRP recovery.
ALL I want to do now is to flash a new recovery to the phone so I can install a ROM and get this paperweight working again.
Can someone please explain to me STEP by STEP what to do here?

It depends on what you are trying to do. You said you wanted to flash a new recovery, so go ahead and do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
If you want to revert back to stock, go ahead and do that too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475216
But I say your best bet is to just push a ROM in recovery. Are you S-Off?
Also, what commands are you doing to push a ROM? Is the E: drive where your SDK toolkit located?

Karn101,
What ROM and RECOVERY would you suggest I flash?
I had the TWRP 2.6.3.4 touch recovery installed but for some reason it would not allow me to install the following 2 ROMS
1. Google Edition HTC One VZW [KITKAT]
2. Inverted-EclipticONE-KitKat-v1.2
When I did this I kept getting the E: Error executing updater binary which really had me as a loss.
To answer your question I am S-OFF it says UNLOCKED M7_WLV PVT SHIP S-OFF RH @ the bootloader screen.
HBOOT Version is 1.54.000
Also when I was pushing a ROM I was using some commands I found in a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354259
I followed some of the steps on here with no luck...
Also I attempted to flash several recoveries from Fast boot with the Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img in the command promt. It shows that the files was sent but the phone just get stuck at the bootloader saying loading recovery at the top in blue font.
Can you walk me through each step on this? I need to get a recovery on there first them push a ROM to the device and install it via the recovery.... I am assuming that would be the easiest method.

If your s-off can't you flash the Ruu in fastboot? Maybe that will help

also
"brick" means phone is dead. you're phone turns on..
not a brick.

what i did once when i couldnt flash RUU was it should work S-On and well Its got to work on S-Off
1-Download TWRP recovery also the System.img and boot.img
2-Rename TWRPRecovery6.3xx.img to Recovery.img
3-Flash recovery in fastboot fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img
4-boot into recovery via fastboot fastboot boot recovery.img
This will boot your device into the custom recovery
5-press Backup
6-swipe to confirm
7-after it's done making a backup
8-navigate back to the home screen
9-press Advanced
10-press Mount
11-check the box next to USB-OTG
This will allow to mount your sdcard into the computer and you can copy the system.img from the RUU
12-open folder TWRP open folder BACKUPS ETC ETC until you get to the folder with the backup you just made
13-delete the system.ext4.win delete the system.ext4.win.md5
14-copy the system.img here abd rename it to
15-system.ext4.win
16-then unmount
17-then navigate back to the home page in the recovery and
18-press Restore
19-then choose that backup and swipe to confirm
20-also recommend fastbooting the boot.img
this is what i did when i couldnt get any rom to flash any roms via recovery nor a i could do a RUU saved my phone.

[Q] ROM Wiped, Recovery Corrupted

I have been trying to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0 on my Wildfire S, but failed. It just goes back to CWM 5.0.2.8. I stupidly went to wipe data in recovery, and now my recovery is corrupted. When I try to mount USB storage, it gives me
Code:
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
I tried fastboot, but since I'm running Windows 8.1, HTC drivers won't install. I have tried most solutions but they all don't work. Is there a way I can flash the recovery from my computer?

It should not detect too. Odin is for samsung phones. To reinstall the recovery you can try to flash by the PG76100.zip method. Get a recovery in a zip, place it on root of sdcard and boot to bootloader.
BTW how are you sure that your recovery is corrupted? It is really a very weird thing for the recovery to be corrupted.

Yes you can just go to bootloader and it will check for the file and prompt to install it. And what do you mean by not working as intended? Are you trying to flash CM11 then it will require at least CWM6 or TWRP 2.7

You don't need to factory reset after the recovery. Was there any errors while flashing? Try a fresh start like --> Install another recovery, if it installs then all well but if it does not then find the correct RUU for your model and flash it. You'll need to redo everything you did to root your phone after this. BTW are you sure you wiped system and data? Both of them and before flash not after.

My process went from start to current position like this:
1. Was on Marvellous Sense 3.5
2. Tried to flash TWRP 2.7.0.0 through terminal
3. Reboot to recovery, CWM 5.0.2.8 still there
4. Redid process, still CWM 5.0.2.8
5. Thought it was a ROM problem, wiped data, tried installing Marvellous Sense 3.5, CWM wouldn't read SD card, (CWM problems started)
6. Tried creating own PG76IMG.zip with TWRP 2.7.0.0 inside, CID error when flashed in hboot
7. Ran RUU to get ROM.zip, transferred to SD card as PG76IMG.zip, flashed in hboot. (Wiped data before flashing)
8. Phone won't boot, recovery problem automagically ended
9. Tried flashing OWL recovery PG76IMG.zip in hboot, got CID error again.
10. Current situation.
I won't be able to get my CID since I'm running Windows 8.1, and I can't get hold of any Windows 7 PC.

Creating the PG76IMG.zip by your own would not work as the necessary info file is not inside. Take the zip I attached and replace the recovery.img inside with which recovery you want. And don't replace the android-info.txt. That's the one you're missing now.
And press thanks if it worked

There's no zip attached, but anyway, thanks for your solutions, I fixed my problem by flashing recovery from fastboot by borrowing a Windows 7 laptop from my friend
