Wildfire S black screen recovery 1.26.401.3 hboot 1.09.0099

Hi
I bought my wfs in poland (sorry for my english and mistakes). I have problem because I updated my phone to 2.26.401.3 in phone jumped message about new soft and I update. Now I unlocked bootloader with htcdev and when I go into recovery (cwm installed by rom manager) I have black screen and under screen leds are light. I tried this but this isn't working now i downgraded phone to 2.13.401.3 and recovery (cwm) still not working. I tried another recovery but no one working. I want install new rom. What do? Can I install custom rom without recovery? or any solutions of this problem?

I had very similar problems, and could not find any solution, so I created custom recovery.img with appropriate kernel. Download attached recovery.img and using fastboot burn it:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery,img
Phone needs to be in "fastboot usb" mode. Let me know if you have problems with it. Works for me.

[TUTORIAL] How to Install ClockworkMod Recovery on wildfire s
I Hope you have SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync installed on your Windows PC. After unlocking the bootloader and rooted your device follow this:
(Note: You only need to install HTC Sync for the drivers that come with it. But the program sometimes causes conflicts, so during this procedure, make sure it is not running. Open Task Manager in Windows and kill it. If you don’t use HTC Sync, you may also open Control Panel and uninstall it without uninstalling the drivers.)
[OPTIONAL] Update Android software version to 2.3.5
If you have a Marvel/A510e, It is recommended updating to 2.3.5 before proceeding (if possible), though you can root a 2.3.3 device. If you decide to root 2.3.3 now and install 2.3.5 later, you’ll loose your root, cwm and have to do it again.
Make sure the phone is connected in Charge only mode. Enable USB debugging by going to Settings > Applications > Development > USB. Also Disable "Fast boot" by go to Settings>Power>uncheck "Fast boot".
1. Download the official 5.0.2.8 image at ClockworkMod’s index of recoveries here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
Make sure you choose the right one for your device whether Marvel or MarvelC. If you downloaded the zip version, extract the img file from the zip you just downloaded.
2. Boot the phone into HBOOT. After it scans for PG7610.zip, select 'FASTBOOT' and press the <Power> button then connect the USB cable. The word 'FASTBOOT' will change into 'FASTBOOT USB'. If not, then either your USB drivers for the Wildfire S or Android SDK Tools is not installed properly.
3. Open command prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder where you extracted the recovery image in step 1.
4. Type the following command: fastboot flash recovery [image name.img]. For example:
c:\android\>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Try the above method, if it fails then go down:
It's a full version, so just download the .zip put it in sdcard then replace battery, press <power> with Vol Down.

In case anyone has a similar issue:
I could unlock. I could install the recovery. But SuperSU was coming up with signature errors and wouldn't install. I discovered that this was because the recovery was being overwritten (I flashed it to the device because "fastboot boot..." was not working).
I could not get the device to flash the recovery then reboot to recovery without it going into normal boot first and rewriting the recovery so that I would not be able to install SU.
The solution I found for this was to take the back of the phone off.
Flash the recovery: fastboot flash recovery "recovery file name".img
Then just pull the battery.
Hold the volume down when you put the battery back in and launch the device still holding volume down.
Remember to release the power button once you see fox logo or you'll reboot again.
Now I installed SuperSU without a hitch and all is good.
Hope that helps anyone who is stuck.

All the list from here is a nightly build. Can you give the stable mod? I'm noob so can follow it. it is very hard for me to make it work I'm still working to install the fast boot for mac. I found this:
bash <(curl -s htps:/raw.githubusercontent.com/corbindavenport/nexus-tools/master/install.sh)
It seems to work when i check this command:
adb devices
BUT NOT SURE if this is safe.
Please provide link for recovery or rom which i can follow using your guide. There are many in the link above but which one is stable and i can use that all the of the system functioning.
Thank you in advance.

I hope this will help someone figure things out w/ what i did... LOL
Thanks ALL. Basically the post above helped to root my phone but its been hard for me and as mentioned in my previous post, I'm noob. So here is what i did after the fastboot issue and continue on even though i didn't know if the install is safe since my OS X was able to detect the device/phone as mentioned above.
1. On fastboot, i just use "fastboot devices" to verify my phone is connected. This command did not work "fastboot -i 0x2970 devices"
2. Then use, "fastboot oem unlock-go" and i waited about 20sec as the terminal returned that message and then it was confirmed unlocked. These commands did not work "fastboot oem unlock, fastboot -i 0x2970 oem unlock-go" my terminal just froze and did nothing.
3. Then i use this to check if it is unlocked "fastboot oem device-info"
4. Using the link on downloading the recovery, i just click all of upper part with the picture and found the .img file see below:
Swift
Wileyfox - crackling
Download Latest Nightly (this is .zip file)
Download Latest Nightly Recovery (this is the .img file which i used)
Device Wiki 2016-01-07
5. update: i did erase recovery "fastboot erase recovery"
i use two commands and both works "fastboot flash recovery cm-12.1-20160107-NIGHTLY-crackling-recovery.img"
(here is the terminal msg: target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'recovery' (23110 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.727s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.387s]
finished. total time: 1.114s)
and this "fastboot boot cm-12.1-20160107-NIGHTLY-crackling-recovery.img"
(here is the terminal msg:downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.727s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.186s]
finished. total time: 0.913s)
(I LEARNED THE HARD WAY THE .img file must be IN THE SAME DIRECTORY of the fastboot - but PLEASE ASK THE EXPERTS and don't copy if i did something wrong)
6. Next should be the auto reboot that suppose to happen but it didn't. So i took " k_web9000" advice and just pull the battery off (i didn't have any choice its not doing anything... heheh).
6. To boot in Recovery - i followed this :With the device powered down, hold the Volume Down and Power buttons.
7. Next should install the SuperSU.zip file (Please make sure to use chrome since my Safari auto unzip the file and wasted so much of my time troubleshooting... i mean hours retracing my steps ...funny) Just update it and locate the sdcard and look for the .zip file
8. Then it just rebooted after the install and on the boot screen i saw 4 files that where updated.
9. Finally, i checked for the root by downloading root checker and it was verified rooted.
Now you have been noobified

Thanks for the info and link!! Awesome!
" 4. In ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm a menu selection, but for some devices a physical home key acts as a selector. Some devices have touch enabled ClockworkMod Recovery, in which case you may be able to swipe to, or touch, menu selections.
5. Optional (Recommended): Select backup and restore to create a backup."
In the link you gave, how did they get the clockworkmod recovery? I downloaded & installed it in the google store but it say can not use due to the device not listed. All icons are grayed and i also tried TWRP same issue.
The link also pointed to the nightly build, is there a stable release, doesn't need much update, i can use daily and without the hiccups.
Lastly, if there is no clockworkmod, how do you get it backup as recommended in the link you gave and as quoted above.
Many thanks in advance.

There is only official CM recovery and back up is not possible. Use Titaniumfor back up. You can also use twrp recovery posted in general section. Nightlies are more than stable.

Something is not right...

i was afraid of updating coz my data might be deleted but it seems the OTA update didn't delete my data. My version now is 13.0-20160127-NIGHTLY-crackling but the downside is the google play is not present anymore. i will try install the gapp again.
i don't know if i did it right, some say you need TWRP but it works just fine w/o TWRP in updating via OTA. I also try to install TWRP but i can't get it to work, so i can backup my phone. Last option is what you suggested the titanium backup.
Please let me know if i did right and the gapp if this always going to be installed again. i will be using the same gapp file and report what happen. thanks
Report:
i tried to install gapp file but i didn't use the previous gappfile since the it needs for 6.0 android and i used arm64 but gave error:70 which is the space issue via emulated option. So i go to cyangenmod recovery>apply update> from sdcard1 and "install failed - installation aborted". I can't even see the files on my sdcard. How do you now fix this?
Also can i have the right TWRP file and instruction for Wileyfox Swift PLEASE? thanks

Something went wrong! Please help
I can't to get the gapp to installed.
I wipe everything using the cm recovery and i also was able to install TWRP recovery and it does always hangs when installing the gapp -arm64-aroma (i can choose what to install). I also reinstall 12.1 and 13 but failed again when installing any gapp even in nano version (please note that i wipe everything). in my last attempt i wipe: dalvik, system, cache, data, internal storage & android secure but nothing works to install the gapp. Btw, when i wipe from the 1st time i always get this error "e: unable to find partition size for '/recovery"
PLEASE HELP

I had a few problems doing this from Ubuntu 15.10.
1. ADB did not see the device although it worked fine on my Nexus 4 showing that adb/fastboot were configured correctly. I had to go to /home/.android and create the document 'adb_usb.ini' (right click, new document) which contains the text '0x2970'.
Once this was done I had to run the following commands
adb kill-server
adb start-server
This allowed ADB to see the device but it said that it was offline.
2. I had to create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (type into terminal 'sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules') and paste in the following line, save it (ctrl+x, y, enter).
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2970", ATTR{idProduct}=="2282", MODE="0666"
sudo service udev restart
After this ADB and fastboot recognized the device and allowed me to follow the directions posted above or on the cyanogenmod wiki.
Hope that is of some use to someone!!!

Also the Cyanogen Recovery was both unpleasant to use and caused problems trying to install GApps, I had to switch to using the unofficial TWRP recovery which worked first time and is a much better interface.

Hey do we need to unlock a bootloader before installing the custom recovery on this device? Thanks.

hi,
I did a factory rest on my canvas a1 running on marshmallow. while rebooting after wiping data it is struck on the screen saying "Checking connection .. this can take a while.." there is no option o skip this.. anyone can help...???

Has the battery life issue been resolved in 6.0.1 ? I still haven't updated mine from 5.1.1 just because of the horrible battery life as reported by members. Would take the plunge only if its fine in 6.0.1.

I can confirm the battery drain issue has been resolved in this update. You'll be amazed with the standby battery life now, doze mode is finally useful.

My Rio-L01 Is Back! (CUST version error fixed)

Hello friends!
I posted a couple of months that I messed up my rio-l01 cust version number and the phone stopped receiving updates even the service center couldn't fix it and requested to change the main board and I refused.
After thousands of tries, yesterday I managed to restore the phone to its original state (B321) and the phone received the OTA updates normally.. yaaay! I received B330 then B340.
Here are what I've done:
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1- I assume that u have an unlocked bootloader and rooted device.
2- Take a backup of ur pics, videos, contacts, sms,... because the phone will completely reset.
Please be careful! I'm not responsible of any damage might happen to ur device!
Requirements:
1- Unlocked bootloader.
2- Rooted device.
3- Official update package (UPDATE.APP) according to your region and phone model.
4- Computer with ADB and Fastboot drivers installed.
5- Huawei update extractor application.
Steps:
1- Connect ur phone to the pc and copy UPDATE.APP file to the phone.
2- Open Google Play store and search for FLASH FIRE app. Download and install.
3- Open Flash fire app and make sure it gained the root permission.
4- Press the Red + button on the lower right corner and select flash firmware update then browse and select the UPDATE.APP file then select all the partitions available to be flashed.
5- Disconnect the phone from pc and start flashing. Let Flash Fire do the magic. Please read the warnings before u start flashing!
6- After completion, the phone will restart.
7- now, Turn off the phone and start it in the fastboot mode (vol down + power) while connecting the cable.
8- On ur pc, open huawei update extractor and extract boot, recovery and system.
9- open new fastboot command prompt window and do the follow ing commands:
Fastboot -w
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Fastboot flash boot (path to boot image extracted)
Fastboot flash recovery (path to recovery image extracted)
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Fastboot flash system (path to system image extracted)
Fastboot reboot
10- Done! Once the phone restart (it will take a while and couple of auto restarts), the phone will start as if new with the setup wizard.
Phone will start receiving updates normally.
Hope this helps...
Peace out ?

I think you can try to do the steps in the main post. This will repair the CUST version. And Make sure that you are using the STOCK recovery not TWRP.

i am so glad that it helped.

Sorry to ask this, but I haven't realized what is that for.
1. Why did you use FLASH FIRE? I mean, what was the purpose of using this? What good does this do to the phone before continuing?
2. Can I start from step 7?
Thanks in advance!

Accidentally removed OS in OP3.

Hi all,
While trying to install custom mod i accidentally deleted my original rom as well as the custom rom from my phone. I can access twrp fast boot but while trying to install zip file its missing from phone. Any way to install any custom rom at this point?
Update : Restarted my phone ( well powered off coz of low battery) . When i charged and switched it on , twrp is not there . Instead when i go to recovery mode , the original one plus recovery mode is appearing.

Sideloading is the easiest option.
Boot into TWRP, find ADB Sideload mode (I think it's under "Advanced", not sure), connect phone to PC via USB cable and flash ROM directly from PC with "adb sideload rom-name" command.
This is a very short version, if you need me to explain anything in depth just say it

Sorry for late reply.
So, first things first, make sure you have working adb/fastboot on your PC (you can get it >>HERE<< if you need it; select Y for all options).
- download latest TWRP recovery >>HERE<<
- download a ROM of your choice
- in case you go for a custom ROM you'll probably also need latest firmware (CLICK), Gapps (CLICK) and possibly Magisk (CLICK)
- open command prompt in folder where you've put all downloaded files - hold Shift and right click in that folder > open command window here.
- boot phone into fastboot mode and connect it to PC
- type fastboot devices in cmd to see if the phone is properly recognized (should say something like "device #serial-number" IIRC)
- flash TWRP by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img
- reboot device into recovery mode. Fastboot generally doesn't support rebooting into recovery, but our phone makes it easy with that 5 second timeout on boot. Type fastboot reboot and as soon as it displays that warning screen press a volume button and then scroll to recovery with volumpe up/down.
You should be booted into TWRP now. Let's continue to flashing a ROM.
Assuming you're going for a custom ROM, start with firmware:
- select "Advanced" in TWRP
- select "ADB Sideload"
- swipe to start sideload
- type adb devices in cmd - it should recognize that the device is in sideload mode
- type adb sideload firmware.zip and wait for it to finish
- go back to main TWRP screen and repeat the steps to get into sideload mode
- type adb sideload rom-filename.zip
- repeat to flash Gapps and Magisk
If you chose to flash stock ROM rather than custom then you can skip firmware and Gapps and flash just the ROM (and possibly magisk, that's up to you).
Done! Now you can boot into system.
