Help please: recovery.img specifically for HTC Desire 820 Lollipop required. - Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster
Short story: I just need a straight link to a recovery.img file specific to my device which is a HTC Desire 820.
Long story:
- Upgraded my phone to Lollipop.
- Unlocked my HTC phone.
- Followed a guide on the net regarding flashing TWRP recovery image and rooting (did not realise I was unknowingly flashing a previous / incompatible version on my phone).
- Now stuck with a phone that can't boot to recovery or factory reset (because it then tries to boot to recovery when doing this).
- I can get into the boot loader screen and fastboot, but selecting HBOOT and then RECOVERY makes my phone vibrate a little and flashes a message, but then goes back to the boot loader screen.
- I tried to flash another recovery.img file, but this just made it so that the HTC logo is displayed and doesn't get passed that.
- Now I just want to flash the lollipop recovery.img so that I at least can root the phone and not necessarily install TWRP.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

So... no ideas?
lol *bump*

The model of my phone is: HTC DESIRE 820 Model Number: OPFJ50.
Thank you in advance.

Power of your device and connect the device to the charger when it is in power off after connected you quickly press vol up+power button or vol down+power button then you find a charging logo then release the buttons after tha the phone goes off automatically then you quickly press vol down button only it gets the bootloader then you flash the only lolliop stock official recovery.img because twrp of 64 bit having some bugs.but they fix it you wait for some time.

keep on pressing the power button for a minute and then restart into the os .
still searching for the recovery.img compatible with htc desire 820.
please if you get let me know at [email protected] .

Flash stock official recovery....it having no bugs while booting,restarting,formatting the phone. but it can't handle the ota updates. You have also wait for some more time they will updated best recovery or stock ruu or how to s off.

Hi, I don’t know who or were to ask, my HTC Desire 820 was working fine, no problem at all. I got a voice chat and while listening there was a loud noise and the device shut off. After a few seconds it booted back up and didn’t load android, it was on a constant bootloop. I couldn’t turn it off or anything. After a while it shut itself down. Assuming the battery was low I connected it but to my surprise it wasn’t charging, the orange LED was blinking. I leave it plugged in for more than one hour but the situation continued, the phone was not powering on and the led was flashing. At that point what I did was to remove the back cover and reset the battery which make it begin to charge normal. After 30 min I tried turning it back on but the boot loop was still there. I could manage to enter fastboot and perform a factory reset. After it finished the device was booting back up and at a certain point the bootloop start over. The device was not rooted, bootloader locked, everything stock, since I didn’t want to mess with it because it is my only phone at this moment. I think on unlocking bootloader, and rooting to try install a custom rom or a backup save from someone. I have been able to unlock bootloader but TWRP doesn’t load, the device will not go into custom recovery and I have tried several versions. Now I don’t have the stock recovery anymore. I can go into bootloader, but nothing else.
I have to mention that now I have more than 24H dealing with this with no luck or signs of fixing my phone. Please, please any one that can help I will be very grateful.
My phone info is the following
HTC Desire 820 dual sim.
A51_DTUL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.19.0.0000
OS-2.10.709.2
SEP 25 2015

SO in this way you have to s off the htc desire 820 and flash the ruu means os zip file in bootloader or type the command fastboot rebootruu in fastboot mode then flash the ruu with fastboot files with the help of computer.

But as far as I have read there is no way to S-OFF the Desire 820 so far. And I havent been able to find any RUU on the web

It is there to s off but you have to pay some money with the help of sunshine

I have used it before with another device I had. and to be honest I will be glad to use it again. the big problem here is that the phone is not booting, so I cannot install sunshine to gain S-OFF.
If there is any other way to get it done or something to allow me boot to the OS it will be great

The only solution for this is wait for a few days.because the htc desire 820 is the first model to get android 64bit.so the developers are not able to develop thirdparty code for it.if the device is locked go to the service center and give the phone they are all having the more stock roms to flash it.

[Q] Non-functioning Volume buttons, Recovery Screen.

Hey all!
I have a question, I recently tried to flash the stable CyanogenMod 7 for Wildfire. The ROM flashed but when it was installing no dialogue came up, I decided to reboot my phone to see if it had worked. I discovered that the ROM had not actually installed because my phone stayed on the HTC boot logo forever. I even left it on before I went to sleep to see if it would eventually boot into the software but no, it was still on the boot logo when I woke up. The logical solution to this would be to boot into the recovery screen but there's a problem with that, I can't. In getting my screen replaced in the past the volume buttons have been broken and therefore I cannot select the recovery option on the bootloader screen :\ Would anyone be able to offer me an alternative to booting into the recovery screen as I currently have no way of fixing my phone and am beginning to get pissed off with the ZTE Racer I'm using as a replacement...
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Try installing a RUU of 2.1 and then see if your volume buttons work. If not then contact HTC for a repair.
You misunderstand my problem, I think. I can't run the RUU because there is literally no software on my phone right now so RUU won't even recognise that it is connected to the PC because I can only access the Bootloader screen but cannot select any options because of my non-functional volume buttons. I'm pretty sure I can't send it back to HTC because my warranty is voided by the fact that I've rooted the phone and failed to install custom firmware on it and therefore it has been modified, please tell me if I'm wrong but I'm really in a predicament here. If I'm wrong about having voided my warranty would I be right in thinking any repair would be free?
EDIT: I managed to fix my phone. Pretty much all I had to do was load the bootloader, select fastboot, plug it into my PC and using the correct RUU I managed to restore my phone to stock ROM Thanks for the help!!

[Q] OK I think I bricked my One X

Dear Gurus, I tried to use the process described on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644167 but after the three boot process my phone kept looping the boot sequence on and off again.
Then I tried to flash Clockwork Recevery image using FASTBOOT mode but it didn't work. I think I have a Locked bootloader but I'm not sure.
Now when I try to turn the phone on with the volume down key pressed it flashes the red status light.
I have an UK carrier unlocked unit bought from Expansys UK. Any ideas, please?
EDIT: I still can get it into FASTBOOT mode...

[Q] Bricked? Stuck in HBOOT

Trying my hardest to flash my HTC One X back to stock in order to sell it, but am hitting brick walls (pun not intended) all over the place. I tried to install the RUU earlier, but it failed as the version I have is newer than the version it was installing, and with S-On seeminlgy it won't ignore that fact.
After this process failed, the phone has been stuck in a Hboot loop, no matter what i choose it reboots constantly to hboot. The phone is hardy gaining charge even powered by mains, and as such i have been unable to unlock the phone again as yet, is that something i need to do before i can get any further?
My current plan as explained by someone on here is to flash a nandroid backup of my CID at stock, but to do that i need to somehow get the display to turn off and let the phone charge, and hopefully escape this boot loop.
Any help appreciated, as soon as i plug the usb cable in, the phone turns on into hboot with the BRIGHT white background and all the options, so uses quite a lot of power / gets quite hot
Bootloader unlocked, flash this recovery asap !

Enter it and put the phone on charge. Leave it alone, it will charge the battery while the phone sits in the recovery.
If the bootloader is relocked you unlock it by flashing the unlock code.bin file which you got from the HTC dev site the first time (maybe it's still in your email)

[Q] Updated firmware using MIKE thread

I've just update my firmware using my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696282
I'm S-On and followed every instruction. When the phone boot (everything was succesfull), it was stuck on the HTC welcoming screen.
Then I thought because the rom installed didn't match the new firmware, so I decided to unlock the bootloader, that too was fine. But then when the phone boot up, I again got stuck on the HTC welcoming screen. Then I tried adb to boot into the bootloader to flash the TWRP custom recovery, but nothing to do, adb is not recognising the phone. But the storage of my phone is appearing on windows explorer and the drives were successfully installed automatically.
What should I do, urgent please anyone
Thanks

hold up and down volume keys then power button to switch off device. Then boot into bootloader through volume down and power button. Flash recovery and install rom. Panicked for nothing
