I have been trying to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0 on my Wildfire S, but failed. It just goes back to CWM 5.0.2.8. I stupidly went to wipe data in recovery, and now my recovery is corrupted. When I try to mount USB storage, it gives me
Code:
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
I tried fastboot, but since I'm running Windows 8.1, HTC drivers won't install. I have tried most solutions but they all don't work. Is there a way I can flash the recovery from my computer?
You should be able to flash a .tar recovery through Odin

As bootloader? PDA? Phone? CSC?
Edit: Odin can't even detect my phone

It should not detect too. Odin is for samsung phones. To reinstall the recovery you can try to flash by the PG76100.zip method. Get a recovery in a zip, place it on root of sdcard and boot to bootloader.
BTW how are you sure that your recovery is corrupted? It is really a very weird thing for the recovery to be corrupted.

It isn't really corrupted, just not working as intended. I will try the PG76100.zip tomorrow when I have time. BTW, that is flashed from bootloader right?

Yes you can just go to bootloader and it will check for the file and prompt to install it. And what do you mean by not working as intended? Are you trying to flash CM11 then it will require at least CWM6 or TWRP 2.7

Tried the PG76IMG.zip method from 2.3.5 RUU, flashed in HBoot, factory reset-ed, phone still not booting/recovery still CWM 5.0.2.8.
Edit: Recovery is working as per normal, however anything I flash, it will just reboot to recovery half way in booting process. Stock 2.3.5, Marvellous Sense 3.5, CM10.1, all of them.

You don't need to factory reset after the recovery. Was there any errors while flashing? Try a fresh start like --> Install another recovery, if it installs then all well but if it does not then find the correct RUU for your model and flash it. You'll need to redo everything you did to root your phone after this. BTW are you sure you wiped system and data? Both of them and before flash not after.

My process went from start to current position like this:
1. Was on Marvellous Sense 3.5
2. Tried to flash TWRP 2.7.0.0 through terminal
3. Reboot to recovery, CWM 5.0.2.8 still there
4. Redid process, still CWM 5.0.2.8
5. Thought it was a ROM problem, wiped data, tried installing Marvellous Sense 3.5, CWM wouldn't read SD card, (CWM problems started)
6. Tried creating own PG76IMG.zip with TWRP 2.7.0.0 inside, CID error when flashed in hboot
7. Ran RUU to get ROM.zip, transferred to SD card as PG76IMG.zip, flashed in hboot. (Wiped data before flashing)
8. Phone won't boot, recovery problem automagically ended
9. Tried flashing OWL recovery PG76IMG.zip in hboot, got CID error again.
10. Current situation.
I won't be able to get my CID since I'm running Windows 8.1, and I can't get hold of any Windows 7 PC.

Creating the PG76IMG.zip by your own would not work as the necessary info file is not inside. Take the zip I attached and replace the recovery.img inside with which recovery you want. And don't replace the android-info.txt. That's the one you're missing now.
And press thanks if it worked

Another way to partition your SD card is to use Gparted Live. That is Gparted from Linux. But as a bootable CD (or USB etc) making it runable on almost every system.

I think ive bricked my phone and don't know what to do.... please help me
1) Ive root, downgrade and S-OFF my Desire Z using this instructions and everything went with no problem.afterwards I was able to boot into new ROM and confirm the changes.
2) I downloaded latest CM for my device, copied it on my SD card with Google pack and followed instructions here to flash CM(1).
I used Method via Recovery(2) and proceed every step with no error... after step 10 i select Reboot system now as instructed in the manual. BUT my phone boots into ClockworkMod Recovery AGAIN as if nothing happened.
I am unable to boot neither in CM nor previous ROM.
THANK U FOR HELPING ME
PS:
before copying CM files i formatted my SD card with windows in FAT32
I was not sure how can i boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. So, i did it by installing ROM manager application and selecting the option "Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery"

Are you still able to boot into recovery?
If you are, try reflashing CM7 as it might have just not "stuck".
Also, check the md5 of the downloads to make sure they are intact.

Yes! i am able to boot into ClockWorkRecovery and (apparently) it is working properly.
i also have access to ADB. but im such a noob i dont know what to do
I tried so many times to first wipe data/factory reset from the menu, then installing CM7 from Zip on SD and rebooted the device. but my phone boots to ClockWorkRecovery every time... and Md5, its correct.

Here's a handy guide for you.
I used it myself back when I screwed up.
If you have Virgin Mobile then the RUU you want is called
Code:
RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe
If not, then try to figure it out. Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

**** logic.... if he flashed a new recovery, he obviously unlocked his bootloader.....
as for the OP's problem: dude, your downloaded rom is corrupted, download the rom again and flash it. and do not forget, you also need to flash the correct kernel.

Get in the recovery, mounts and storage, mount usb storage. Now the computer will open your sd card folder, so just put the rom there and flash it normally. For the kernel, get to the hboot connect the phone to the computer and wait that it says fast boot usb, then put the kernel in the fast boot folder on your computer, run the cmd, get to the fast boot folder and type fastboot flash boot (your kernel).img

Okay I got my kernal flashed and a rom with cyanogenmod thing. But it seems to freeze and then reboot by itself a lot.. I feel helpless
do a full wipe from recovery.
Sent from my ST25i
Full wipe, then try a different ROM? I liked CM10 but I guess it doesn't like me back
yeah,you also have to install its specific kernel
Okay I got the cdma pacman rom and its specified kernel. It STILL reboots after 30 seconds. Someone in that thread mentioned flashing over a stock rom, but that just confuses me. I just want to be able to make some calls badly
now fool n final do this.>>>
1. download rom and gapps,transfer them to root of SD card
2. extract boot.img(the kernel) from ROM zip and place it in fastboot folder(or use whichever kernel prescribed by the dev)
3. go into bootloader, FIRST flash the boot.img in fastboot(does the screen say FASTBOOT USB when u connect the phone to the PC?)
4. go into recovery, then FULL WIPE-factory reset, erase cache and dalvik cache.
5. then flash the ROM.
6. boot into the rom.then again enter into recovery and then flash gapps.
do the above steps in the same order all over again....
Full*
You most likely have the new update and radio. The newer one ends in .9xx, the one you need ends in .5xx. Can't remember the exact numbers. Download and install the RUU with Sprint in the name and you will be able install a custom Rom and kernel.
Okay thanks I will try that.

A little confused. You said when you go into recovery, then you say you have CWM, but it does not load. So can you get into recovery or not?
Re flash cwm or flash twrp, and then try to do a restore or flash a rom. If recovery still wont see your sdcard, then reformat it fat32 with a pc and try again.
I assume you tried to do a factory reset from the hboot menu and thats where the problem started?

Use a pc to backup and then format the card fat32. Then download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/PB31IMG.zip and place it on the sdcard in no folders named exactly as it is (PB31IMG.zip).

Its because the rom zip has not been updated for twrp. Either learn how to mod the file, or you may want to flash cwm http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/ recovery instead.

Hey guys, i've been searching, reading and googling almost anything that could help me with my situation right now.
I recently rooted my phone n soon after i decided to run a custom ROM on it. I followed the instructions,
till i reach a part in recovery mode (TWRP) i selected factory wipe which wiped everything from my sd card,
when i realized this i unplugged my phone and it kept rebooting over and over i tried to use adb sideload option
but i keep getting an error that its unable to mount.
i also tried to factory reset and the problem was still there.
i am all out of options and i really dont know what to do
right now, please help me.. :crying:
Tou did not flash the rom zip file and boot.img?
You can enter bootloader mode by holding down the volume down button.
Then you can re-flash a custom recovery via fastboot.
Then you can mount your USB and copy a custom ROM to storage.
And then flash the custom ROM, but don't forget to also flash the boot.img via fastboot (it's in the zip of the custom ROM)
