Can not use Clockwork mod recovery~ please help!

Hello, I want to install a custom rom on my Virgin Mobile HTC Wildfire S. It is rooted, and i already know which ROM I want to install. The problem is, when attempting to make a backup using ROM Manager, It just reboots the phone (with the little "Tell HTC" icon at the top). I also cannot boot into recovery. I have alreay searched far and wide but all i see are " enable erase recovery and flash clockwork mod again" I have but to know avail I would be really grateful for any help (i'm a bit of a noob)
here is the info i see at HBOOT
MARVELC PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.06.0000
MICROP-0354

Have you flashed the recovery yet?
If not, you won't be able to make backups nor will you be able to flash ROMs.

have you tried manually booting into recovery by powering off then holding volume - and power and then selecting recovery?
i had some issues with rom manager in the past, but when i went to backup manually it seemed ok.

Yes I have I flashed CWM Recovery and have also tried rebooting into it by that method >.<

Mind trying my all in one tool? Try flashing the recovery from there and see if it works.

Your tool is for GSM is it not? I understand it works with both, but the recovery is different between Marvel and Marvelc. Marvelc users should the Marvelc recovery.

Hi all.
Please help me fix my HTC One X!! I am trying to restore my phone back to its former glory after a failed attempt to upgrade to Jelly Beans. I installed Clockwork Recovery by
c:\Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-endeavouru.

However now I can not seem to mount my sdcard!! I have tried
c:\AndroidSDK\tools\platform-tools>adb devices

>>>> which lists nothing!!
I need to put the operating system back on, but I am at a loss for what to do next after hours searching fruitlessly.
Please help if you can!!

Why would you use such an ancient version of clockworkmod? You want 5.8.4.0, then you can mount SD card from recovery. And charge. Both good things

Try to install Android revolution ,then if you want follow going to stock threat :reboot to bootloader and flash rom boot.img , erase cache , boot into recovery bootloader->hboot->recovery or if it dont work try to flash recovery again than do full wipe and flash rom.zip
You can now boot system

Please would someone mind giving me basic instructions as how to go about remounting the sd card?
@ms0, I installed the Android Revolution, but I didn't understand your instructions properly.
Thanks for the messages so far, I am still very stuck

1) go into recovery
2) mount storage as USB.

When you're in fastboot it won't show in adb - you need android running for that
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Adb only work when booted in system.
Sdcard mount can work in system and recovery.
To install recovery or system you can use fastboot command in bootloader
(Phone connected to USB and in bootloader-fastboot
Tab.)
To enter bootloader just shut down your phone (hold power for 10sec)and hold both vol- and power button.
When you are in bootloader on your computer you can run
Fastboot flash recovery -filename-.img
to flash recovery
Fastboot flash boot boot.img to flash rom kernel (you must also do fastboot erase cache ).
When this is done on your phone you can go to main bootloader screen and from there you can enter recovery and flash rom itself. Now you should be able to boot system and check usb debuging in settings . You should now be able to connect to adb if this don't work make sure you have proper drivers on your computer (HTC sync manager and Android sdk.)

Botched my old recovery, and can't flash a new one...help?

I've been playing around with some of the JB ROMs, and was using Goo Manager and TWRP to do it. Then, because I'm an idiot, I decided I wanted to upgrade TWRP to 2.3.3.0 (I think I was running 2.3.1.0).
That's when I ran into the "TWRP doesn't always install properly" problem. I've now tried updating TWRP from within Goo Manager more than 5 times, but it's not working.
So I decided I'd install the new recovery via the FASTBOOT method.
I have HBOOT 0.92. I have ADB and FASTBOOT loaded on my laptop. (I'm pretty sure this is the way I originally installed CWM 5.0.2.0 when I first rooted my phone ages ago.)
When I boot the phone into the bootloader and choose FASTBOOT, then plug it into my laptop, I get the "FASTBOOT USB" indication that it's connected, so that's good.
However, when I open a terminal window on my laptop, navigate to my miniadb folder (where the fastboot.exe and recovery images are located), and try to flash the recovery image, I see the green bar in the upper right corner of the phone, but on the laptop I get this:
c:\miniadb>fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-inc.img
sending 'recovery' (3642 KB)... OKAY [ 11.235s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 11.268s
So then I decided to give up on TWRP and go back to CWM, but there's no joy there, either:
c:\miniadb>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img
sending 'recovery' (3064 KB)... OKAY [ 12.370s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 12.402s
What causes the "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" response? Clearly I'm sending the data to the phone, but the phone's rejecting it for some reason.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a foolproof way to get a recovery (either CWM or TWRP--at this point, I'm not picky!) back on my phone?
Thanks!
MC

Check the last two pages of the tarp thread for a twrp hboot PB31IMG.ZIP or see my direct link below.

Many thanks, tiny! I'll give that a shot.

For what it's worth, I think you need to upgrade HBOOT to 1.02 or 1.07 and unlock it through htcdev to be able to use the fastboot flash commands. But the flashable zip for TWRP should fix it for you too and that way is easier and just as reliable.

[Q] fastboot boot

I'm using the Google Play Edition v1.3.0 | 4.4.2 | 1.16.1700.16 ROM by HolyAngel
The phone recovery is stock and I want to fastboot into philz modified cwm recovery.
I issue
Code:
fastboot boot philz_touch_6.25.5-m8.img
and watch the following go by
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.252s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.016s]
finished. total time: 1.268s
The phone hangs for about 10 seconds and then boots normally showing the white HTC screen with red text and then the Google splash screen.
How can I get into recovery?

If you're trying to flash a recover you should be using:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then once it's done, you can always access recovery through the bootloader. There's an option there.
If you are having problems with accessing Recovery, I would recommend doing
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Seems to fix most problems when it comes to trying to get into recovery.

To be clear, I do not wish to flash recovery only boot into it temporarily. The method in my post worked just fine with the stock roms.
Code:
fastboot erase cache
didnt have any effect on the boot process. Thanks for trying.

Understand what you are trying to do but never tried it.
Does the phone meet all the normal requirements to run a custom recovery? (root/su etc)
You say it worked with stock roms. Where these rooted?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the booting into recovery command has been disabled..just like the M7 where j came from and to my knowledge the newer bootloaders disabled that ..so you couldn't just boot into recovery you'd have to flash it.

Booting into recovery was not disabled on the m8. I have done it many times. It didn't work on the m7. The reason why it's not working on a gpe is the boot offsets are different. If you were on a sense rom it would work just fine. For the GPE when I did the conversion I had to use an unpublished recovery that allowed me to boot recovery..

i've been trying to boot a custom recovery (without flashing) all night, and i'm running into the same issue here.
i have a brand new m8 harmon kardon edition on sprint, and am up to date as of today on all of the OTA updates.
i unlocked my bootloader, turned off fast boot, and rebooted to fastboot USB.
when i issue the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" i can see the loading bar in the top right corner of the phone, and then it reboots and loads normally without loading into a recovery.
all of this to say that i'm trying to create a backup of my own stock recovery, and have thus far had no luck.

[Q] Bricked ?? Please Please Please Help

Hi
I have tried going back to Sense stock after trying out GPE edition lollipop flavour.
Unfortunately somewhere along the way something has gone horrible wrong and I'm now stuck in a bootloop with a Red Triangle
My bootloader is currently locked, althougth I am S-Off. I can still access fastboot and RUU but the problem is when I try to flash standard or twrp recovery i get the following error message
From RUU
./fastboot flash recovery recov.img
target reported max download size of 1830711296 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16092 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.442s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.447s
So I currently have no os, no recovery and no way of loading a recovery back on as you can see above... am I screwed ???

Have now managed to put stock recovery back (via ruu) on and at the top of the screen it says entering recovery but never gets any further ...
Have tried again to install twrp ... no joy there what so ever

Dont' Worry I got the same problem but I fixed it!!

Install custom rom and you are good to go

Absolute legend ... thank you !!!
