Did you install custom recovery eg. CWM or TWRP?
If so, you can just try flashing again. Make sure you also flash the boot.img using fast boot.
You need to read all instructions carefully with a new rom!

Use the boot.img file from the rom you want to flash. It will be inside the zip file if not separate.

I'm trying to install clockworksmod on my wildfire S. I've managed to unlock it using the htcdev.com instructions, but when I try to install a recovery -- XDA or clockworks it keeps telling me that the model ID is incorrect, what's going on? Any help would be appreciated!

Are you using this image from Clockworkmod site?
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Also try installing ROM Manager app from store and flashing recovery using it.
Or maybe flashing it using fastboot?

Also check are you using CDMA or GSM recovery version, it should match your phone...

google play will update by self you don't need to update system for it.which model u have? i meaning gsm or cdma?
for updating system you need to unroot,stock recovery for it.but i don't think wildfire s recently received any update.

no.first rom after anything else.
status 7 means your META-INF (installer script) has problem i guess.
do one thing.take any working zip(any zip which one is flashed correctly in your recovery) and copy META-INF folder it and replace it with your rom's that folder.
then flash rom.
and if you have wildfire s 2012..you have to flash that custom kernel after flashing rom.
I didn't understand plz can u b more easier plz help

yeah okay.
you have any flashable zips like any script or any kernel.
copy meta-inf file from it.
and now open your rom zip file which gives you status 7 error.
open it in winrar or winzip(dont extract it) now delete meta-inf file from it.
then copy meta-inf file from that other zip you have and paste it to rom zip which you wanted to install on phone.
I have gapps zip file Shd I try with that

i think something wrong in your rom.
because when you copy gapps meta-inf.its okay you successfully installed your rom.
but now your rom won't boot meaning something wrong in rom.if you have wildfire s 2012 model you need to flash kernel after rom.
now you can try other roms.jelly king,speed droid they are great cm10 roms and very stable.
or atlast you can restore your stock backup.
hi, i was the initial poster of the thread. The wildfire s had some system updates couple of months ago, which i have not been able to update. I also do not have google play on my phone only android market. As far as i am aware i need to update the system to be able to install it. my system is a510e 2.3.3. thankyou.

Oh thats okay...you need to update 2.3.5 to get play store update.
Where are you from? You need your ruu to unroot your phone.
Or
I have made stock roms(2.3.5) on latest ruu..you can flash it too.

If your phone is rooted its good.
Now if cwm recovery isn't installed.
Go to play store nd download rom manager,
Then install clockworkmod recovery from it.
Then go to the recovery(remove battery,hold volume down+power and then select recovery)
Now take a backup of your rom(you cn see backup option)
Then if you want stock( stock meaning company rom which is made by htc,android version:2.3.5)
I made stock rom zips from latest european ruu.
Then download it.
Now put it in sdcard.
After completing backup,
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
(Do twice this fr sure)
Then go to install from sdcard
Nd select file of rom and then it ll installed then reboot..
2.3.5 installed

OR
You can unroot your phone,lock bootloader then receive updates but you need your ruu for it.
Its kinda difficult for new users so you are rooted i recommand you to install rom which has android 2.3.5

The same thing happened to me... Just flash the official RUU and see if it boots. If it does, just flash any ROM that you want.
As for the RUU, I flashed the global version.

How can I flash official RUU if I only have access to the recovery?
Did you flash the boot.img from the ROMs zip using Fast boot?

Well how else are you going to flash it if not trough the recovery?
Just flash it as you would any other ROM. (Do a FULL wipe and install the .zip + kernel)

He also said it was through recovery, recovery doesn't have access to the boot partition, therefore flashing a kernel through recovery won't work.

Hi there,
I just tried to flash a newer version of TWRP (to be able to write NAND backups on exFAT formatted external SD cards) but after that I could not boot the system. I had to flash a system rom again and restore from titanium backup.
After that - for whatever reason - I had the old version of TWRP recovery installed again..
So, is there any way to update TWRP without getting the same problem again?
Thanks in advance and best,
Julian
Can't you update recovery by using the goo manager app?

Nope, it just says "recovery has been installed" - but nothing happened :-/
just do fastboot flash recovery openrecoveryXXXXX.img ? everything should be the same but your recovery should be updated
einfach mit fastboot flashen dein rom bleibt unangetastet.
You could try TWRP Manager
Well, I'm not quite sure what I did (or did wrong) in the first place - but it works.
fastboot flash recovery did the trick.. now.
Thank you guys!
Best,
Julian
I've tried to flash TWRP latest for the M8 via terminal using the command which is shown on the TWRP website but it gives me an error message saying read protected or something, my bootloader is unlocked but I'm trying to flash TWRP and root, I don't use PC /Laptop so using terminal on my phone the only way unless I go to Internet cafe, anyone successfully flashed TWRP via terminal?
