[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?

hi
I tried to root a HTC Desire HD device
1. Unlocked via HTCdev
2. Installed custom recovery - clockworkmod 5.8.1.5
3. Tried to flash miui 6.1
now the device is stuck on boot ( htc logo)
I tried all the RUU files i could get, nothing works, error 191, 140,155
I created a gold card.
When i insert the empty gold card and reboot the phone, it remains stuck on SD checking
Loading PD98DIAG.zip
any ideas

i managed to get the goldcard working.
Still can't flash, some message about version is older.
Tried different roms.
The RUU exe still throws 191 error.
any ideas

Have you tried running the RUU when the device is in fastboot mode? That worked for me once when I thought I'd bricked it.

tried that.
error 191.
i need something newer that 3.13.0.0 i think

I'm starting to sound like a broken record. If you used the HTC unlock method you have to flash your boot img separately.

noxaro, if you wanted to gain S-OFF and root, you should have run the Hack Kit...HTCDEV is not a good idea....maybe a little more research would have leaded you here:

It won't work if u are running GB and downgrade to Froyo...That will mess your bootloader...just don't downgrade to froyo by any means!! Hack Kit works for all builds and version, just have to downgrade first in some cases...

That doesn't sound like works on all builds and versions.
It does not work on the mentioned version 3.12.405.1
I have the same situation. But within a couple of months my phone contract will end and I will extend this with a new phone. At that moment I will try to install some custom ROMS on my Desire HD. So first downgrade to 2.50.405.2, get root and S-Off (which I by the way already have (Ship S-off to be precise))
And than install ClockWorkMod and install custom rom.
I tried to install CWM from fastboot but did not manage to successfully complete this. I think because I have Ship S-Off and not ENG S-Off.

AAHK has supported 3.12.40.5.1 since version AAHK 10122011, It does not and will not support HTC dev unlocked devices. Although version 3.12.40.5.1 does need downgrading, this step is carried out by AAHK. AAHK is by far the safest and easiest method of obtaining root IMHO.

umm...it seems that u need to give a look at the manual again. All builds 3.x are not directly rootable, so you need to downgrade. The Hack Kit prompts you about that, and do it in case you are willing to.
Just one tip, if you install ENG S-OFF you will mess your bootloader...so, I would check the manual and the hack kit thread just see what you not supposed to do..

Yes it does, but a downgrade is needed first. The hack kit automates it all as much as possible, even the initial downgrade.
The bootloader MUST be relocked and the the ROM stock.

Just relock the bootloader with a stock rom/recovery installed and the hack kit will work fine.

Hello,
I tried to flash MoKee Rom yesterday, I downloaded the file from their website but on the screen it told me that there was an error because the rom wasn't for my Desire HD. Tried downloading twice and flash it again and same error appears. So I tried to install Cyanogenmod 11. Everything seems to be ok but when I reboot the phone it doesen't move from the white screen with HTC written on it. What can I do? I did everythime all the wipes needed (cache, dalvick, system). I've unlocked the bootloader with Windroid Tool and installed TWRP recovery with it.
I can get into fastboot and recovery mode. When I get into fastboot I have the following details:

I am pretty sure to do the ruu you have to relock your phone and I think with fastboot you need s-off for most commands.

Ok, since your bootloader is unlocked you can use fastboot commands
So download the latest recovery (smelkus is probably best) and flash it through fastboot (make sure you are in fastboot mode on the phone, go to bootloader > select fastboot and select with power)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameOfRecoveryHere.img
And once thats done, just flash a rom and you should be good

when i do that i get another box that pops up saying cmd has stoped working i also tried smelkus on sd card renamed PC36IMG but that goes through and loads and the parsing but then it stops and returns to bootloader

Ok, try reformatting your sdcard to FAT32
Make sure to have a backup, of course, then restore files when formatting is finished
Then try the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard again
Also, if it says "cmd has stopped working", thats a problem on your computers side, nothing to do with the PC-phone connection...if possible, try running those commands from another computer

I have this issue also and have the same stats as the OP for version, etc.
I can add a small amount of additional info, but I am unsure if it will be helpful.
I RUU'd with the Sprint_GB_4.54.651.3 file after lockibf the boot loader and had success. When relocked, HBoot States. "Locked status, not "Relocked OOW" as I have sometimes seen posted in Root/S-Off guides.
Additionally, I have used fast pot to flash partition by partition for a PC36IMG . Other than System failing GB die to excessive size, most or all of the others were successful.
When using fastboot to query CID, I get a status: Malformed error.
ADB is unusable for my device.. were it accessible, I would attempt TacoRoots methods, or use a modified downgrade strategy as employed with gFree and fr3vo, where one borks the device's version info and uses the temporary unsteady state to downgrade to known good software.
I have little to substantiate whether or not that would be possible or successful, but I have a hunch about it and in a perfect world would have the skilled means necessary to try to employ it.
I unfortunately do not.

Bootloop on Desire HD

Hi Peeps. Appreciate any help here.
Recently got 02 faulty Desire HD from someone. No idea what he did. One of it has a bootloop, while the other is just stuck on the HTC logo. I will just concentrate my problem on the device with the bootloop as it seems to have a higher chance of recovering.
Was able to boot to HBoot and shows me this screen. I will type it out as I have no access to camera for now.

Firstly. is there anything to make it S-OFF? Couldn't find a method that works. Most of it I found requires to boot into Android which is impossible for my case.

1. I'm on s-on. Does it matters?
2. Bootloader should be unlocked after flashing the unlock.bin from htcdev.com. I saw the *** UNLOCK *** when I go into HBOOT.
3. Command I used was *fastboot flash recovery recover.img*. The recover.img is actually the CWM recovery.
4. HTC Sync is installed.
4. Yes i did. It gave me FAILED status. Error: Signature verify error.
I will try to snapshot whatever process I did to make my explanation clearer later part of the day.

Make sure the file name is correct of the recovery.img file

Signature check is failing or the .img file is flaw (try downloading again) or your bootloader is not unlocked in its whole. That happens from time to time. Try using this recovery image (touch CWM):

[Q] [SOLVED!]HTC Desire z bootloop

So,
I just bought a Htc Desire z a few days ago. Unlocked the bootloader, Installed CWM. All was going well until I decided to flash a Rom then the phone when into a bootloop and CWM stopped working.
So far I've fixed the recovery through fastboot but I'm still in a bootloop.
Any Ideas?
Additional details:
I'm on Ubuntu, I'm not so good with fastboot(or adb), the phone is a Turkish HTC desire Z, I have a NAndroid back-up right before I flashed the rom. I've tried combining it with the stock recovery. Obviously didn't work.

Hi,
VISION PVT S-ON
It means security ON
So, it won't let you flash anything
First, you have to run a rom again (dunno how....
from bootloader what are yours options? You can go to recovery?
if not, maybe installing a RUU from bootloader... But wait, i'm not sure you can...
And then, you'll start again :

Or he could just use the fastboot command: Fastboot flash boot boot.img like i do?
I have S-on too.

No actually I can extract a RUU to a IMG file.
I currently can go into the bootloader(therefore into fastboot) and I can flash recoveries long as they're in img format.
I know this going to sound stupid considering that I got this far but what exactley is a RUU ? I mean I know I got the Hboot update from one but do they contain stock Roms as well?

I strung a few together tutorials but you know they're all same. sudo fastboot oem get_identifier_token. So yes.

in that case you just have to copy the boot.IMG file from the rom you downloaden. Put it in the map with fastboot etc. Then open a terminal and type fastboot flash boot boot.img I dont know if how this works on Ubuntu. But i think its something like that on Ubuntu.

finally something that is NOT Hboot or the recovery menu and certaintly is not the HTC logo. I'll try to find a s-off tutorial. Thanks :good:

here you have the recommanded method, but it depends if you can boot a ROM or not....

didn't see much on s-off. You do have anything else?

Its in the first post, first you need to get a factory image running and relock your bootloader, then follow the steps in the xda wiki or strawmetals PDF guide. If you don't want to do this and would rather keep secure flags on then then each ROM you flash you will need to fastboot flash the kernel when done
But I highly recommend to get true radio s-off
