Hey guys!
My friend asked me to root is HTC Wildfire S, it has S-OFF and an unlocked bootloader (yay!). then I flashed (supposedly successfully) a custom recovery, but when I select RECOVERY on the HBOOT screen the device is stuck at the HTC logo and does nothing. I tried putting the zip with the weird name that HBOOT recognizes and it installs with no error. I also tried to flash it with fastboot which also writes the recovery partition with no error, but it still won't load the recovery. (Although when I try to "fastboot erase recovery" it fails saying: "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". I also tried both CWM and TWRP and neither of them worked. Anyone could help me get the custom recovery working? I also attached a image of the HBOOT screen if that helps. USB debugging is turned on, and fastboot is disabled in settings.

As I can tell of "Feb 8 2012" your WFS is 2012 edition
You need another recovery modded for the WFS
1.Download this
2.Extract it
3.Install it using CMD
thanks, it worked

Hi guys, i have decided to get my desire back to stock and i have the asian RUU that i download from xda.
I am rooted with s-off and amonra recovery. Im on the Stock rooted ROM w/ A2SD.
1) Went to fastboot and into fastboot_USB mode and then ran RUU from PC
2) at arnd 59% it gave me an error error 110: File Open Error (is this a RUU corrupted of what?)
3) Then it went into a half-bricked mode where theres 4 exclaimation marks on the 4 corners
lucky i managed to recover into last working state again. (adb coundnt detect my phone; it works with my S2)
I went on to format phone from Settings, but my apps, etc are still there.
Can anyone tell me what to do and where to start?

Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium

just tried this downgrading tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
how it stucks at the green HTC logo w/ white background.
Tried to run a RUU but error 170 USB error
EDIT: Somehow everything went smoothly on my laptop and im back to stock. but i gotta un s-off.
S-off:
Ran the Same RUU but now error 131: Customer ID error, however when i went into bootloader, its already S-off
ok just a summary of what happened and issues i faced and resolved for future references
Im coming from stock rooted ROM w/ app2sd, root, s-off, amonra recovery and i wanna go back to stock.
*I lost my gold card as my sd card was corrupted.
1) Ran the downgrade tool from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256 (luckily i passed w/o the goldcard)
2) When booting up, i was stucked at the green HTC logo
3) Ran the RUU file: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00. 32U_5.11.05.27_release
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
4) At this stage, ROM, recovery is back to Stock. Except s-off.
5) Using help from this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632
flashed the bravo_downgrader and HBOOT became alpharev unlock and I ran the same RUU
6) I used the same RUU but it says Customer ID error but when i checked my bootload, i was alrdy S-on
I rooted and did s-off and installed a custom ROM about a year and a half ago when I first got my phone.
Last night I obviously missed a step when I tried to update my ROM to Cyanogenmod.
Stuck in Hboot loop. My phone is recognizable in adb when it's stuck at the white HTC screen. I can power into fastboot but the volume buttons don't work so I can't access any of those options.
When I type "adb devices: it says: HT0AMRV07945
When I type "fastboot devices" nothing is found
Here are some screenshots:
No buttons work on this screen so I have to go into Hboot:

I mistakenly hit up instead of down and said yes to updating:
This is the only screen where my volume and power buttons still work.
Looks like the prob is that you have 2 update.zip's find the duplicate and rename reflash rom after wiping to ensure a good flash. That should work I had same prob.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
I can find the duplicate by removing the card from my phone and inserting it into my PC. After that I don't know how to wipe the phone and load a ROM from the hboot screen.
Or are you saying it should boot normally after I rename the duplicate update.zip?
Hmm... is there anything named PC10IMG.zip on your sd card?
Go into recovery
1) Remove all ZIP files from your SD card (only the files that are NOT contained in any folder). So your phone will not try to install anything when in HBOOT.
2) When adb is working you can boot into recovery using the following command:
adb reboot recovery
3) From recovery you can do:
Wipe cache partition
Install a new ROM
Install a new radio
4) While in the white HTC screen you can get some log messages from the phone using adb. Some examples:
adb logcat : Shows logcat information (phone log)
adb logcat *:V : Shows verbose logcat info
adb shell dmesg : Shows kernel messages
adb shell ps : Shows all running processes of your phone
5) When still stuck you can write me a private message at XDA

Hi Everyone!
It's been a long time since I posted here. Just got an M9 and having a few issues, It's obviously been flashed with custom ROMs before, is S-OFF and unlocked.
Unfortunately I can't get into the recovery, Ideally I'd like to return to a close to stock ROM. It throws up this message when I try to get in:
"Failed to boot to recovery mode... This build is for development purposes only..."
Download mode says "SD NOT MOUNTED" at the bottom (I don't know if that's normal)
I've tried to install various versions of TWRP via fastboot to no avail!
I've flashed lots of ROMs to my M8 before with no problems, but just having trouble as I don't know what's been changed on this phone! Any help much appreciated!
Few more details pulled from download mode:
htc_himauhl PVT S-OFF
CID-ORANG001
LK-1.0.0.0000
firmware version: 0x7

Solved. Just had to flash TWRP, then go straight to recovery before getting to OS by holding UP/DOWN as it rebooted. Tiny little quirk!
what do you meen had to flash
I have a problem like that but I can't boot to download mode either. I get the message "failed to boot to download mode" then at the bottom "this build is for development purposes only ...". Please help!

The thing is I didn't have usb debugging enabled when the device crashed and started a boot loop. Now I'm stuck in the bootloader and I don't know what to do? Any advice?

In bootloader mod you have to use fastboot not adb.
Adb is only for OS or TWRP.
So you can try to flash recovery in bootloader with
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
then try to boot from recovery to download mode
I wanted to downgrade to 5.0 to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery and ROM. Used the official FW from the Asus page, installed it from within the OS (android MM stock). It all went as expected until at the end of the install it rebooted and got into the bootloader screen instead of booting normally. It won't go into recovery.
Phone will NOT turn on with power button + volume down button, not ever.
Power button + volume up does nothing, it turns the phone on just like the power button alone would do.
Once in the stock bootloader if I select [recovery mode] it will simply reset and go back to where I was. I never get the dead android error, it just go back to the bootloader select menu
I get this screen

What can I do? all the tutorials I seen either asume I can get into recovery or use power button + volume down button which in my case doesn't works
Find images of system, ifwi, recovery etc. and fastboot flash them. you can try first with recovery only. the adb command will be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.
img" just search the forum plenty of guides here

I looked at the guides, most require recovery on the phone to work (it doesnt here, just reboots back into the bootloader) and for some reason adb can't find this phone, tried on 2 different computers
BTW I tried with another android phone and adb worked just fine
How is it possible no computer can even tell this phone is connected at all?
Hello,
I have a z2 pro, and i wanted to change the ROM on it. Since it came with a modified ROM, i flash a stock ROM. I then unlocked bootloader sucessfully.
I transfered the new ROM to the phone and did a
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The phone booted with twrp correctly. I then did a wipe of system, cache and dalvik.
I tried to install the new ROM, but it prompted me the error "Unknown Command [log]". Having already installed a new ROM on another device, i remembered that disconnecting the usb cable or rebooting did the work, so i did both.
Now, the phone isn't recognized by my computer, so i can't redo the "fastboot flash", and when i go into recovery mode, it isn't TWRP that is loaded but this

How can i do to load TWRP again on the phone ?
Edit: I have shut down the phone and hold the power button, windows seems to recognize it as a cd drive. QFIL still doesn't change his status from "no port available"
Thanks
