when im flashing my roms on my htc Wildfire i can only flash Cyanogen mod, does this have anything to do with having HBOOT 1.001.001?
I presume it gives you the Amend scripting error.
Download ROM manager
Click Flash recovery inside it
Wait
Click reboot into recovery
Flash from there.
but i already have clock mod inside it, is the version of clock mod too new? i think i have 3.2 or somthing
You need 2.5 for pre-gingerbread roms, kernels and radios.
And if you flash it from ROM manager, you can still get to 3.2 from the HBOOT and the 2,5 from rom manager.
so your saying to downgrade to the 2.5 clockmod firmware? because curently im useing 3.0 somthing
Clockworkmod recovery 3.x will install only gingerbread roms.
To install other things either directly flash 2.x recovery or flash 2.x recovery from Rom manager.
From Rom manager select flash recovery which flashes 2.x recovery on memory card relating to a file named update.zip. Then reboot to recovery from the option in Rom manager itself and you will have 2.x recovery. And if you wiped everything and in 3.x recovery, just flash that update.zip first which gives you 2.x recovery instantly for installing other roms.

No, flash ROM from custom recovery first, then the boot.img from fastboot. Use a custom, not stock, recovery (CWM, 4ext, or TWRP).

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What recoveries have you tried to flash? How have you tried to flash them? How are you trying to flash the ROM? What is "cyan," ClockworkMod (CWM) or CyanogenMod (CM)? What is a "stock recovery .boot img"? You can't flash anything from the stock recovery. You can't flash the stock ROM's boot.img with a custom ROM. Recoveries do not have boot.imgs that you need to worry about. I am saying that you need to have a custom recovery, like CWM, 4ext, or TWRP, installed. You do that through "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img." You then need to download a ROM zip, boot into recovery with power and volume-down, factory reset, and install the ROM. You then need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip you just flashed and flash it from the computer with "fastboot flash boot boot.img."

Sorry for the misunderstanding. heres the deal ive had 3 clockworkmode recoverys and different versions tried 3 zips(roms) with each one and every time de same thing.BUT now thanks to your help i flashed the boot.img file and it works perfectly
I cannot seem to flash to custom rom.
It gives me Status 7 error. I am think that it is recovery that having problem.
I tried CWM and PilZ's recovery to flash CM11 and CarbonROM in this forum.
Any solutions or problem?
Hi, would anyone with enough knowledge on this phone guide me as to what is wrong?
I have a xperia s which I have unlocked bootloader and flashed various custom ROMs from android 2.x all the way to android jelly bean 4.2.2
I always wipe all available partitions except for the internal sdcard before flashing any ROMs.
For some reason, I have tried to flash kitkat ROMs for this phone with different versions of TWRP, 2.6.3.0 up to 2.7.1.0 but it keeps failing with the same error:
set_metadata_recursive some changes failed
Error executing updater binary in .zip
I have tried to flash carbon rom, paranoidandroid ROMs which are all based on kitkat 4.4.4 and both fail with the same error, I do not want to reflash back a old ROM based on jelly bean I just want to bring this phone up to the latest version of android but this problem still persists no matter how many times I try.
Appreciate any help.

"Error executing updater binary in .zip" error occurs when the zip You are flashing does not have compatible script for that version of the cwm/twrp.
Do one thing, extract the boot.img from the rom which You want to flash on the pc.
Copy the rom.zip to the phone.
Then flash the boot.img using fastboot via pc.
Then flash the rom using twrp via phone which would be installed on the phone.
Can someone provide me with a solution that will fix this Error 7 when I try to flashed a custom rom. I have tryed many recoverys and different versions. Like CMW and TWRP and Philz Touch Recovery. Every recovery tryed also the latest release and other versions. I have also wiped everything did a clean install Stock Rom with Odin. Tryed it again after but still no luck. Somebody ?
I have fixed it thread closed.
