[Q] Can't change CWM to Amon RA

I'm using unrevoked to change CWM to Amon RA. I have gone through the step below.
1. Run unrevoked then went to file and choose Amon RA and then plug my desire to my PC.
2. I had follow the instruction onscreen. Everything went fine when at last after rebooting i got an error.
Error: failed to get root.
Is your firmware new.
My desire is rooted and s-off
below are the spec of my phone:
baseband version: 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
kernel version:2.6.32.28
build number:1.72.405.3
Android version 2.2
Pls can anyone tell me what wrong

Why not use fastboot if you are S-off?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Put the img in the same folder as fastboot, check md5 if available and change recovery.img to the actual name.

Thanks a lot. But sorry to bother you. Where is the fastboot folder . I have search but couldn't find it.

On Windows, i believe, that it comes with the sdk in the platform-tools or tools folder and for Mac and linux you need to download it separate.
Edit
There is probably no need to download the hole sdk. I posted a link in the AlphaRev thread some time ago, try to find that, there might also be a fastboot file for Windows.

I tried doing it with fastboot, have latest sdk version installed but something is not working, after I type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it starts and then says some win.dll is missing than it kills process.
can I ask if this will work for desire too?

Never used Ace Hack Kit, but You can flash radio with method described by leith51 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597 it's very easy.
It's hard to say which radio version would be right for You. It depends for example where do You live. Very often developers recommend radio version for their ROM's. If not i recommend You to flash the latest version.

Thanks for your reply ill check that thread out when I leave work how do I give a Thankyou?

So the reason you want to check MD5 is to make sure that your Radio.img is not corrupted. If it does happen to be corrupted and you flash a corrupted Radio there's a good chance you will completely brick your device. As mentioned by cwibel, visit this radio thread and take a pick at which radio you want. If you picked the recommended Radio for exmaple:
* 28th April 2011: Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - HTC Ace Gingerbread S 2.36.405.5
Radio.img MD5 Checksum: 2dc4cfc01516d71c8d68ac2c5e2feda0
You will see that there is also the MD5 Checksum there. Now download something like WinMD5Sum and do a MD5 on the Radio.img not the .zip containing it. To verify its integrity the MD5 should match up to the one posted in the thread.
As for which method of actually flashing the Radio, I recommend using this one here. I just flashed my Radio using that guide yesterday and it couldn't have gone any better. Very straight forward and worked as it should.
EDIT: If you want to check whether your phone is ENG S-OFF just reboot into the Bootloader and have a look at the first string of text, it should read "ACE PVT ENG S-OFF", otherwise if it reads "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" then you only have Radio S-OFF.

Thank you both so much I understand the whole process now just one more question. I don't have eng s-off Do I have to use the visionary tool to permroot and all of that or do I just skip to plugging into my pc And using the Desire HD easy s-off.exe because I'm already rooted or do I run the whole process ?

I now have eng s-off thanks to you guys but now the "start here" msdos in the radio flash zip won't open I've put the radio img In the folder it just opens and closes maybe it's just my system?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Yeah might be just your system. Try this:
Press Windows + R on the keyboard and type "cmd" in the Run dialogue.
OR
Right click in the Radio flash folder > New > Shortcut > Then when it asks you to browse type "cmd" > Next > Leave default name. Now to open up the cmd just right click on it and click "Open as administrator".
Whichever works.
Now you want to point the cmd to the folder in which you are working in.
To make things easier just move "Radio flash" folder to the root of your Windows drive. So if your Windows drive is C:\ drive then the folder location will be at "C:\Radio flash\", within this folder you should have your adb.exe, the radio.img and all the other stuff from the zip.
Now type:
cd "c:\Radio flash"
to point the cmd to the particular folder. Now you can begin doing whatever is asked in the radio flashing thread.

Thanks but it didn't work I'll give it a try on my brothers pc

i haven't use the ace hack kit so i'm not sure of the process, but that sounds like you've ticked all of the boxes to flash a radio. you can check that you have ENG S-OFF by booting in to bootloader and see if it says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF at the top and not ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF
if you're ENG S-OFF you're good to go

[Q] Flash Stock Recovery with current CWM Recovery 4.0.0.5

Hello,
I have a question that I have been searching for the last several hours for an answer. I currently have 5.10.605.9 stock with the HTC unlock method and rooted using the OneClickRoot_1.1 tool. I am not looking for S-OFF for the time being but if its necessary I'll do it. What I would like to do is remove the CWM 4.0.0.5 Recovery and replace it with the stock recovery that came with the phone. The 5.10.605.9 version has been the only version of Android installed on the phone and this is the version that it came with. Its been a while since I flashed the CWM so I don't remember exactly what guide I used, so I cannot reference that guide. There have been several guides I have come across but none that fit my exact situation or phone so I am kinda leery about following them.
I have spent several hours reading about RUU's and this seems like the easiest way but since I have the HTC unlock I cannot flash the same version I currently have, I have to have a newer version. That is my understanding at least. Is there a RUU available for the latest version, 6.01.605.05?
Since the CWM recovery was just flashed using the command line (if my memory serves me right) is it possible just to extract the recovery from a 5.10.605.9 stock build and flash that using the command line? I have a stock build and I notice a recovery_signed.img file, similar to the cwm-recovery-vivow.img file.
Well that was several questions but if anyone could be of any help it would be greatly appreciated. If its not possible its fine, I'm due for an upgrade soon anyway..... I'm just looking to be able to walk into Verizon and see about possibly getting a replacement, the speaker is starting to sound tinny and I am having and occasional 3G problem.
Thanks!!!

Thank you for your replay but unfortunately I have tried this post several times in the past, guess I should have mentioned that. However I did tried it again with the same results, "WRONG ZIPPED IMAGE". I have double checked hash as well and the name being PG32IMG.zip, not PG32IMG.zip.zip. I have used 2 different microSD cards, one being freshly formatted. Both of them are formatted as FAT32. My understanding is this error is because I currently have 5.10.605.9 and cant flash the same thing over because I have the HTC unlock.

Yes. That's how you install a kernel when you're unlocked through htc and I'm pretty sure it's the same process.

That worked beautifully thank you. I didn't realize it was that simple. Since the warranty of the phone is up in 2 weeks I decided to take the plunge get S-OFF. Upon reading the steps for this process it says I have to re-lock the bootloader before I do anything else. Once I did this hboot read the RUU file just fine and asked if I wanted to proceed with the update. So I guess it is possible to flash RUU with the same version it just need to bootloader re-locked?? This makes no sense but I have S-OFF now and everything is good, thank you all.

Help, can't flash any KitKat ROMs! [How to update recovery]

This seems to keep coming up so for those of you who can't find the fix, please don't create new threads or post all over the developers forum
The most likely reason you can not flash 4.4.x and newer ROMs:
You have an old recovery
why would this matter?
Basically the way permissions are handled in the updater-script (what tells your device how to flash the ROM) have changed
and thus if you flash a newer ROM with an older recovery you will more than likely see a similar error to this:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So how do I change recoveries?
you need grab a flashable.zip of the new recovery and then flash it in current recovery
or
a better and safer way is to use fastboot to flash the new recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
*note, change 'recovery.img' accordingly if this is not how the image is named
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
two other quick notes:
*you can just fix the updater-script yourself to be able to flash a new ROM in an old recovery, but really this is time consuming and poitless
*another method to flash the recovery is to create a PC10IMG.zip and place on SDcard then boot to bootloader to flash, but more work than needed

Silly mistake led to softbrick..
Could you please help me with this problem?
I had CWM 6.0.4.5 flashed in order to install Flinny's CM11 Alpha 5, FC were very common so I was really excited for PureKat ROM
but then I didn't read the instructions carefully enough and switched the phone off instead of rebooting the system after leaving Aroma installer...
Now I'm stuck in a bootloop which constantly shows me the HTC splash, sometimes 2 seconds of CWM and then HTC logo again. I can get into Hboot menu but Factory Reset and Recovery lead back to bootloop, and my laptop (Windows 7 Professional) won't access the sdcard. Silly me also disabled USB debugging but that shouldn't be a problem because I did a full wipe before installing PureKat, right?
Anyways, I can't seem to establish any connection between PC and my DZ in Hboot, otherwise I would have tried to flash a new recovery just as you said
Any help is welcome, thanks in advance!

First thing to do would be to boot into bootloader and write down everything from that screen here, actually here

Is it safe to install ClockworkModRecovery 6.0.4.5 on HTC Desire Z (HTC Vision / G2)? On ClockworkMod site I found only 5.0.2.7 for HTC G2.

Yes it is safe, but not 100% perfect. The reason its not on the cwm site is that it isn't official and hasn't been submitted to become official, maybe some day.

For fastboot commend we need : eng hboot OR unlocked hboot from the htc website (limited commend, but enough for flash a recovery).
So , if some DZ user were too lazy like me , and didn't flash the eng Hboot, but did all the other steps from the wiki to get the root (including s-off), and won't to go through the wiki again, just use the demkantor PC10IMG file from post #30 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728208&page=3
It work for me. Downside : current rom will bootloop. Can't do restore CWM from 4ext. only fresh install.

Good point @overdose
I do highly recommend an engineering hboot and radio s-off for many reasons, but yes simply unlocking your bootloader will allow you to flash a recovery, but most fastboot commands will still be unavailable

Actually I planed to do so. I'm curious if your instructions applies to IMG files to (directly or with small modifications)?

Until you have an engineering bootloader most fastboot commands are unavailable. Grab the .zip from post 30 in that link and follow the directions there.
Alex was having a similar issue to yours earlier but he couldn't get the PC10IMG.zip to work on his SD card so he used the rebootRUU method, which could also work for you. I would advise to understand both methods as they can be helpful to learn down the road
To answer your question directly, you must use the .zip, .imgs will not work with either method

I was sure method with sd card would work fine so tried rebootRUU and it worked. Below is method that worked for me. It is simply whole instruction for getting new recovery when starting without eng HBOOT. This is just 'compilation' of instructions from Alex Mitter and demkantor.
Download DZ_PC10IMG.zip from demkantor dropbox
Connect phone to PC (adb devices to be sure it is recognized properly)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
to switch to HBOOT. I didn't need to switch to fastboot as it was already in fastboot mode. You might want to use fastboot devices to be sure it is recognized properly again
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip DZ_PC10IMG.zip
to flash eng HBOOT
Code:
fastboot reboot-boootloader
to get back to HBOOT and validate it.
Download CWM recovery from 1st post in thread
Code:
fastboot flash recovery CWMrecovery.img
to flash freshly downloaded recovery
switch to recovery from HBOOT to verify version and proceed with PureKat instalation from there

Here's what i get, I tried to get the output to go to a txt file but that didn't work.

The problem you can't flash in RUU mode could be the drivers or the fastboot app you are using.It could also be a CID problem.
You can check here how to upgrade your hboot by using fastboot.
But as long as you are S-OFFed you can flash a PD98IMG.zip from your bootloader by putting it in the root of your sdcard.(Just rename the rom.zip to PD98IMG.zip)

I don't know what a RUU mode is nor am I using any fastboot apps. I will look into this CID stuff.
I actually cannot do the PD98IMG.zip thing as my volume buttons left their home... and the visible metal contacts don't do anything if shorted.
Thanks for the link, I will check out!
EDIT: The post you linked me to has the same instructions as what I've been trying, I mean exactly the same stuff. This is the 3rd hboot rom.zip I've tried and it worked! I'm on 2.00.29 so thanks a bunch for that link
EDIT 2: Now unlocking the bootloader from HTCDev, got to last part and need to use volume buttons! Doh! I'm stuck now and the phone will not boot into the ROM.
EDIT 3: Got it! I didn't realize that there was a tiny button under the actual volume key, just had to press it with something small.
