[Q] Desire : Upgrading ClockworkRecovery from 2.5 to 5.0 [SOLVED]

I tried using ROM Manager to upgrade clockworkmod recovery and it now says I have 5.0.2.0 installed but when I boot into recovery the version number still reads 2.5.0.7... do i have two installed now? if so how do i get rid of 2.5 and use 5.0?

Are you s-off?

No I'm S-ON... is this why?

yes
10char

S-OFF or you won't be able to update.
Also i'd reccomend the Android Flasher tool or fastboot commands, rather than ROM manager.

Thanks guys! I S-OFFed and now everything is good

[Q] Questions about HTCDev. can I root or flash ROM?

I have been seeing posts saying that it is still S-ON after unlocked with HTCDev, is that true? And does the version of HBoot maters?
If it is still S-ON, may I ask, can I
Root the device
Flash recovery
Flash kernel
overclock
and Flash ROM
with S-ON?
I really want to help with my friend's Buzz.

#1 yes it does leave S-on but you are allowed to root your phone and from there you can install clockwork rom managar and flash clockwork recover and then you can install roms etc.
#2 Yes you will need to change the hboot, but they will prvide it in the instructions as the wildfire has an asterik for hboot upgrade via ruu.
Acording to heaps of people are using HTC Supertools to get root. Although i have a Desire HD, when i have used this i have not got root, but thats just seems to be me
It should work fine if done correctly.
Hope this helps.

As far as i know, the only thing you can't flash is the radio. I am not sure about kernel though.

Have you tried to get into recovery through the bootloader? (Press volume down + power).

See ,I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom manager and rebooted into bootloader to go to recovery ,but I get the error ,and according to my friend ,you cannot flash Rom without any recovery.
The problem with my phone is I cannot boot into recovery

You can't get into recovery when flashed it from rom manager by the bootloader option. You have to reboot into recovery from rom manager after flashing it from there cause it's not permanent.

I tried doing that too ,but it has the same result.
is there any way I can put cm7 without flashing into recovery ?
Or can I delete the recovery and put it again ?
My friend told me that if you have the image file of the Rom (which can be backed up from another wildfire having cm7), you can boot into that image and install cm7 .
can this happen ?

You need to install cwm first, Rom manager just gives you a temporary downgrade to flash some older zips which use a different script to newer ones.
I believe you can use fastboot to install it, guide here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
If you follow this guide that will get you cwm 4.x.x and allow you to flash cm7 from recovery, the latest version of cwm is 5.0.2.0 however and the img is knocking about in various places on this forum.

okay ,now this i my bad .
I tried rooting through a site which was meant for the wildfire s .
so i erased the recovery and put clockworkmod recovery .
After 5 tries , i finally got into the recovery and installed CM7 in minutes
Thanks to all of you for help

Heh nice to hear you made it

Problems doing OTA upgrate after root - not standard problem

Hello,
I am currently running rooted stock rom with HTC Dev unlocked bootloader with clockwork recovery. When I tried to download and install OTA it of course fails. I installed stock recovery, same thing installation always stucks at 1/3. I tried relocking bootloader, i tried un root. And I even tried to install Maximus rom (after unlocking bootloader and installing clockwork again) and I cant. Is there something that I messed up?
Is it possible I am using wrong stock recovery image?

Go with the ruu. And why would you think it's not standard problem?

I installed RUU (the one that doesn't contain latest update) and same thing happened, isntallation just freezes.
I was under impression that this problem usually happens when there is no stock recovery or when USB cable remains plugged in, which is not my case.

well for me it stopped also till I flashed the correct ruu. Without charge or bad recovery or unlocked.
Now I am bit confused. The ruu works and the ota after fails or the ruu fails the same way as the ota?

not sure whic RUU I installed but it worked on device, OTA fails with stock recovery, no matter if i have unlocked or relocked bootloader

if you have flashed any system mods or deleted any system apps the ota will fail

i just rooted after installing stock ruu, then i reverted to stock recovery and locked bootloader

First use htc One x toolkit wich is found here somwwhere. Downliad the latest 2.17 RUU.exe. with toolkit lock your bootloader.(of you are using a custom rom it reboots back into bootloader) use the fastboot option and then run the latest 2.17 RUU. Lower versions don't work
Hope you will succeed

[Q] Need help on HTC One M8 GPE

So I recently got myself an HTC One M8 Google Play Edition.
I tried to root it and unlocked the bootloader with ADB Commands.
Everything worked fine until I tried to install a custom firmware. It kept me in a bootloop and kept going back into TWRP Recovery.
I found out afterwards that my phone was still S ON.
For some reason, I was able to install Skydragon 3.0.1 custom rom for GPE and I finally got the phone working and usable again.
I thought that it was my chance to try and get S OFF with firewater.
Again, I tried doing so with ADB Command and I got the message that my device is patched by HTC, I am out of luck.
So now I'm stuck on Skydragon 3.0.1 rom. Not to say that it's a bad thing. The rom works GREAT!
But I want to revert back into stock rom and restart anew so I can maybe try and get S off from the beginning because SkyDragon has an OTA.
Apparently it's the OTA that is preventing me completely running firewater.
Is there any way to fix this? Can I still get S OFF from where I am or is there a way to go back to factory settings before all the rooting?
I haven't found any other roms that would install on my phone.
Please help!!!!! =(

Did you try installing an old 4.4.2 gpe ruu. You should be able to run it with son.

You're gonna have to use Sunshine and pay the $25 to get S-OFF, firewater won't work now it's been patched (the system, NOT the ROM btw)

Apparently the ROM has to be as stock as possible for it to work (I didn't have to as I used Firewater a few months ago when I first got my M8)

It says that I cannot run sunshine because of my kernel/rom combination. I need to flash a sense-based rom.
Problem is, when I read online, I saw that I cannot flash a sense-based rom onto an GPE because of the partition difference or something.
Thus why I wanted to get S-off
I'm on skydragon GPE v3.0.0 with SkyDragon V2.0.1 kernel by the way

Did you try a 4.4.2 ruu? It might be in the gpe conversion thread if not I can send you a Drop box link.

I could find that in the htc dev website right? But if you could still send me the link so I can see if it's the same, it would be appreciated boss.
but I thought since I'm on 4.4.4, I couldn't downgrade?
