Need help flashing recovery.

Hi people.
I got some problems and some questions.
Until now I was perfectly happy with CWM 2.5.0.1 Recovery, BUT, I found out about newer recoveryes, so I decided to flash one.
NOW!
I'm VERY pissed off because I can't flash it.
I tried unrEVOked method, won't work, it pushes recovery but gets stuck on WAITING FOR BOOTLOADER; MAKE SURE ALL DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED. And yes, I have all drivers installed (ones that came with HTC Sync and Android 1.0 usb driver) and I tried with unrEVOked 3.14 and with the latest unrEVOked. So, thats all about that method and we can see it DOESN'T work.
Off to the next one:
I tried flashing the image with terminal emulator. Once again I did all the steps good: Copied the recovery.img to the root of SD card, entered t.e. and wrote the command (su to get superuser access and then flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img).
Once again, NOTHING.
Then I tried using ROM manager from CWM. It flashes a recovery but I can only access that recovery through ROM manager but not through bootloader, that one gets me back to 2.5.0.1.
So I would REALLY appreciate if I can get some help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards from pissed off and unhappy me.

buddy , though you are my friend , but maybe you need to re-write your last comment specially number 1) .. its really not good though
regarding 2) what you wrote exactly in terminal ?
only 1 line ?

Seriously mate, just install Android SDK, and use the Fastboot option. Easy as pie and no issues at all.
Install Android SDK, then, get the Recovery.IMG file of the Clockworkmod version you want to flash. Place this in the SDK's Tools folder. Then, reboot your Wildfire in the bootloader mode, Enter Fastboot mode (Press Power button on Fastboot).
Then, open Command Prompt on Windows, cd (browse) to the SDK's tools folder and type the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done.

AFAIK, You dont even need SDK installed. Just the Fastboot and binary will do, which can be obtained here: (Still, not very sure of this process, as I had the SDK installed a long time back)

please help!!! android SDK says (waiting for device) when my tattoo is in fastboot usb mode. it finds my device when my tattoo is on.

I've the same problem... If you have another way to flash recovery depends on S-ON/S-OFF stuff. Take a look at this thread the part 6: Custom Recoveries
If your buzz is S-ON (like mine) there isn't any other way but unrevoked but it doesn't seem to work, at least if your phone is already rooted

u do have all your windows drivers setup, do u?

try using RUU manually:
extract rom.zip from the RUU* and stick it in your C:\
boot into fastboot mode, plug your phone in and open command prompt and type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flashzip C:\rom.zip
fastboot reboot
*to extract the rom.zip run the RUU (but do not proceed with the process, just open it, do NOT click next, don't even plug in your phone for that matter lol), select "run" from the start menu, then type in %temp%, This will opened a folder with a bunch of files and folders, use the "sort by date" feature, and select "today". there should only be 2 folders left, search inside them and the rom.zip should be in one of them, amongst many other androidy files

don't use yahoo.. or msn lol...
alright I'll try walk you through it.
0. download the file I attached, and unzip it into your c:\
1. Run the RUU (do not click next)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. go to start menu and click "run" (or press the WINDOWS key and R as a shortcut)
3. type %temp% This opens up a window with a bunch of files/ folders
4. Use the sort by date function, and select today, there should only be about 2 folders, for me, the first one contains another folder, which contains the contents of the RUU
5. Select rom.zip and put it in your c:\
Once you've done that, turn your phone off, boot into fastboot (press the RETURN button and POWER simultaneously)
Plug the phone in via USB, your Phone should show FASTBOOT USB
Then start Command prompt (start menu, accessories, command prompt)
Type the following commands
Code:
cd\
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flashzip C:\rom.zip
fastboot reboot
***************************************************

Hello all,
a quick update,
as i could get into cwm I flashed CM7 (and the required radio first) and i seem to be up and running, albeit without sense (ui or common ).
does anyone think i got stuck in the loop because i was s-on with leedroid?
rgds
LoK
--UPDATE--
After much faffing around, i used the revolution beta one click s-off, and have now managed to get back too Standard Tmobile RUU.
Being the sucker that I am, I retried the Leedroid HD rom with no luck (hang on logo)
Using correct recommended radio, ext3 partitioned sd. cwm 2.7.0.5 (or is it 2.5.0.7?) rooted s-off.
Its a shame, I really wanted Sense 3

3) What android version / ROM is being used?
4) Does Hboot (Vol down+power) or fastboot (Back+power) Work when your phone is off?

hey, yesterday i had same problem. just wanted to go to stock rom and i stucked on same screen. and windows didn't see my sd card. so what i did:
booted to linux ubuntu, somehow linux saw my sd card, with gparted i deleted all partitions and reformated sd card. when i downloaded android flasher 2.2 i gues and flashed original bootloader from alpharev.nl, and flashed rocovery img. when i started official ruu 2.3 and everything went fine. now i am on original rom and have working phone . but i think that main problem was cm7r2 hboot. so i think you just need to flash original hboot and run ruu rom. ruu rom you can get from second or third thread in development section. good luck.

Need help with my HTC Desire!

So I formatted my SD card and now when I turn on my phone, all i get is a splash screen that says revolutionary 2.1+3.0. I cant do anything from there, none of the buttons work or anything.
edit: i just realized that my phone has s-on but how do i disable this

Edit 2: Sorry for the lack of information. I just used revolutionary and it says s-off now and I was able to flash the cm rom using fastboot from android sdk. Now it is stuck in a bootloop (i think?) and it just says android on the screen and wont go anywhere else.
i now have revoultionary cwm v4.0.1.4 installed...

i have s-off now using revolutionary but my phone is not booting... just stuck at a screen that has "android" across it and it looks like its just forever loading.
when i first go into my bootloader, it quickly loads something and i believe it says no img file. i formatted my sd card and everything was erased.

This will probably fix your problem:
1. Download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1631968&d=1357780284
And install it using these instructions (ignore the stuff about the 2.3 RUU):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45298337&postcount=21
It's 4ext recovery.
2. Download a GB rom, like MildWild :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031467
And flash it. This ROM will surely boot.

thank you so much for your help so far. i have installed 4ext recovery but when i boot into recovery to install the mildwild rom, it says unable to mount the sd card.
i tried using the usb unbrick tool from the 4xt recovery and that didnt work.
i used the fastboot oem enableqxdm 0; fastboot oem eraseconfig commands in fastboot which didnt work (if i typed the commands wrong here, they are just from memory)
i redownloaded the mtd0.img and flashed it using fastboot and that didnt work either.
any ideas?

Do you have any other sd-cars laying around? Try it instead.
If not, format your sd-card again. I don't know what's wronf with it, but it seems it has some problems.

Fastboot works fine.
1. You can't install a ROM through fastboot. Only images.
2. The 'No image' thing comes when you don't have a pb99img.zip on your sd-card. The bootloader scans the sd-card for that zip.

[Q] [q] Failed RUU - black screen with /!\ issue

Dear All,
I am digging through the forum for couple of hours but after reading number of tutorials and threads I stuck with no answer to my problem.
Here is the issue:
I have HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT3 with S-Off and Alpha Rev CM7 r2.
I Tried to Flash original ROM RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed. The process failed and I have ended up with black screen and /!\ in every corner. I tried to solve the problem with with THIS tutorial (POINT 4) but I did not succeed.
I cannot flash Bravo Stock with Android Flasher (version 2.0.0) as it freezes. Links to newer version of the flasher seems to be dead - so are links to number of other utilities on the forum .
Could anyone help me bring the phone to life, please? I probably (!) even have got a goldcard (it was created long time ago, never used even not sure if it was ever working). I want to flash any rom to make the phone usable, not necessarily stock one.
After unplugging usb from the PC, the phone is in ruu mode and displays following info:
Alpha Rev CM7 r2
Bravo PVT3 Ship S-OFF
HBOOT-6. 93. 1002
Microp-051d
Touch Panel -SYNW0101
Radio-4. 06. 00. 02_2
Date, time
Many thanks for any ideas....

I assume that you're after reading HTC Desire (Bravo) Troubleshooting Guide, Chapter [4]: RUU PROBLEMS.
Try another flasher, e.g. Universal Android Flasher v1.40 b.

Just use fastboot commands to flash stock hboot then run the ruu.
The command is -
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
The reason the ruu failed is because the system partition in the cm7r2 hboot is too small for the ruu.

In the same way that you read in bortak's quide.
First you need to be sure that you have the IMG for hboot and that through adb you have connection to the device.

OK, I have downloaded "Bravo Stock" from Alpharev but I cannot boot to fastbood mode (back and power don't work).
How to check adb connection or how to establish it? While trying to flash with adb flasher from the tool you have provided there is error: phone not found

Pull the battery out then put back in, then press and hold back + power Or vol down + power. /!\ in each corner is the same as fastboot mode. So when u get that screen, plug in ur phone and type the fastboot command
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
Then type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then run the ruu.

It seems I don't have adb connection.
I installed new Android SDk Tools as is in here [Tutorial] How to install Android SDK tool & HTC's drivers [BEGINNERS FRIENDLY], new HTC drivers "HTCDriver_4.2.0.001.exe" from [DRIVERS] Latest HTC Drivers [4.2.0.001] and Java.
When I type in command line adb devices there is none listed. When I try adb reboot command it says no device connected. Phone is in fastboot mode (black htc screen with /!\ in corners)

OK, It works! Sorry. I loaded hboot image. Many thanks for all of you!
Two more questions: in case I load stock RUU will I S-ON the phone? Can I load now any other rom (aplplicabe for stock hboot) using fastboot and how? Or should I better load ruu and than try to load rom from .zip file using bootloader?
