unlocked phone but when asked to install clockworkmod i said yes then it said could not download and said it would retry, but failed and shutdown. now i cannot go into to stock recovery or rerun the unlock program to try to have it install clockworkmod. im so lost. please help. detailed instructions would help since all the other ways to put a recovery program on have failed.
What does your phone say when you're in the bootloader menu? Are you s-on or s-off?
If you're s-off with revolutionary at the top, then you need to flash the recovery image. It may be available as a zip, and you can run fastboot with it. I personally use twrp over cwm. You'll find the guide here

I rooted my phone and had Revolutionary recovery. I installed Rom Manager and installed the recovery, and now I cant get to my recovery screen no matter what I have tried. I really need help because now I cant do a factory data reset, flash new ROMs, anything. I have tried through bootloader, everything and I cant get to that screen. Has anyone had this problem or can anyone help me?

5.0.2.0 CWR?
Have you rebooted?
ROM: Warm TwoPointThree
Kernel: MegAnthraX
Software: 2.08.651.3
Baseband: 0.97.10.0808
PRI: 1.24_003
Don't use rom manager to flash recovery. Also, just my opinion, but TWRP recovery is better than clockwork. So, find the TWRP thread, grab the PG86IMG.zip and flash in hboot. Should solve all your issues.
Rebooted quite a few times, still cant get to recovery mode. I guess this is where being a noob kind of sucks, but how do I flash when I cant get into recovery, or how do I flash in hboot?
You don't have fastboot checked under power settings, do you? If so, uncheck it.

There are essentially three methods to flashing a custom recovery on the EVO 3D with S-OFF (revolutionary method you mentioned using above).
1) Flash from normal android mode: My application works well for this, Flash Image GUI, as well as flashing kernels, especially when being away from or not having a computer available.
2) Flash through the bootloader by putting a PG86IMG.zip file on the root of your sdcard. This file with the recovery.img loaded inside is available at the TWRP site.
3) Flash through fastboot by using the following command: fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\twrp-recovery.img
All three of these methods will load the custom recovery image into the recovery partition on a revolutionary s-off EVO 3D.
Hope that helps!
Every time I try to flash the PG86IMG.zip in my bootloader I keep getting a error that says "Main Version is older! Update fail!" I just dont get what I am doing wrong there.
It worked! Thank you so much joey krim!

Odd. I would only expect to see this error if you're loading a PG86IMG.zip file which contains ADDITIONAL files, other than just the recovery.img.
This error is usually only present for people who used the HTC unlock method. Those who used the revolutionary unlocked method should not see this error message.
Perhaps when you stated you loaded the revolutionary recovery, you meant the revolutionary version of cwm recovery and unlocked your device using HTC's unlock method?

Great to hear the process worked for you. Which of the three methods ended up working best for you?
I used your app and then flashed a twrp recovery, so happy that its back to normal, it has happened to me once before, and I fixed it on my own, but nothing was working this time.
How do I install a custom rom via the boot.img method as unlocked with HTCDEV method?
I've looked everywhere to try & find this answer myself but can't find a complete 'how to' guide on doing it? I have the HTC Flyer 16GB Wifi w HC if thats any help & i'm not rooted as the HBoot is not yet supported using the Revolutionary way???
Any help would be very well received.
Just for future reference, this should go in the Q&A section. But, have you ever used adb or fastboot? You have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Whoops, sorry just realised there is a Q&A Section.
I have used adb & fastboot & have a Desire HD & have installed customs roms on that & I have been trying to install a custom one of my Flyer but can't seem to even thou I am unlocked via the HTCDEV method.
I have downloaded a custom rom in zip format, so if I extract the files to a folder on my PC, where adb etc are, & then do the boot.img from there will this then install the custom rom onto my flyer??
Thanksyou for answering.
What you need to do is download your ROM and place it on your sdcard. Flash it like you would any other ROM. Now type in 'adb reboot bootloader' and make sure your tablet is in fastboot mode. Now take the boot.img of the ROM and place it in the same directory that you have fastboot. For me that would be: c:/android-sdk-windows/tools
Now, making sure your tablet is in fastboot mode and that you cd'd to the directory for fastboot, type in: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now just reboot and you should be running a custom ROM

Really, I don't understand why you'd go through all the hassle of using the unlock method. It's not that much extra to S-OFF and have installs work directly form recovery.

Agree also. HTC Unlock looks like a hassle all around, and warranty is officially voided.
Thankyou all for your replies & i'll try it out & see how I get on.
Had to use the HTCDEV unlock as my Hboot version is not currently supported by all other unlock methods as it 1.11.0011.
Thanks again
Unlock the bootloader has nothing to do with your hboot version, just try it.
s-off doesn't work with your 1.11.0011
so you just need
unlock-------flash cwm recovery for 3.2------flash a custom rom------fastboot flash boot boot.img(the boot.img is unzipped from this custom rom)----do not forget to wipe

Utter nonsense. The bootloader version does matter for unlock. And it is possible to get S-OFF even if you have this hboot, it's not a direct S-OFF but it is possible and relatively easy to do.

Please take a look at my guide:
Scroll to about the end of the first post.
Also note that certain Roms only work on certain hboots.
Always make sure to find out which you should be on before flashing.

1. Download http://animeondroid.host22.com/recovery.img = Thanks 4ext team.
The link seems to be dead. I'll see if I can find it on the net.
Edit:
Couldn't find the file. I'm going to just install 4ext from in the phone. The guide has been a great help otherwise thanks.
Thank you for your assistance. Got up to this point
III. Then it's time to push a recovery.img.
The link is broken. Couldn't find a recovery.img on 4ext website.
Edit 2: The phone will not install 4ext busybox or supersu from within the os. The hboot says unlocked and S-off. Any ideas?
have you tried CWM recovery image file thru fastboot? you can always change recovery afterwards.
I've been trying to root my EVO 4G LTE using various guides from this board, and I'm not having a lot of luck. I have HBOOT 2.09 and it's S-ON. It seems like the easiest way to root the device is to go S-OFF, but then it appears that the device needs to be rooted to get S-OFF. So I'm a little confused at this point. I've unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, but when I try to install the SuperSU root utility it gives me an error about mounting partitions and fails. My bootloader screen also displays "TAMPERED" which seems to be a problem but I'm not having a lot of luck finding a way to resolve it.
So... can anyone tell me what my next step is?
Thanks in advance.
Are you using Facepalm, Moonshine, or DirtyRacun? You haven't really provided enough details to help, at this point. What's your software version? I assume you're running the stock ROM?
I was running the stock ROM, I think it was 3.16. I tried using Facepalm but again it seems like it needs root to work which I haven't been able to achieve just yet. I tried installing the ROM from this thread through TWRP but it just hangs on the HTC screen so I'm not sure what's on there now. I can still get into the bootloader and recovery though.
You can't use Facepalm on 3.16 software. Use Moonshine.
Try flashing this stock rooted to get back to a working state: http://d-h.st/users/Captain_Throwback/?fld_id=10308#files
You may need to fastboot flash the boot.img to make sure it fully boots.
OK, I downloaded that ROM and extracted the boot.img. I booted the phone into the bootloader and ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img". It seems to have completed correctly, no errors at least, but now the phone just sits at the HTC screen with the red text at the bottom. Clearly I'm doing something wrong...
Did you flash the ROM too? Or did it reboot on you when you tried?
I just did the boot.img. Should I also do "fastboot flash zip 3.16.651.3_stock_rooted_odex_CPTB.zip"?

You have to flash the ROM in recovery.
Ok, so I went into recovery which is still TWRP, adb pushed that ROM to the phone then tried to install it. It gives a bunch of error messages about being unable to mount various items, says it's unable to find path for partition [name of the zip] and fails.
Thanks for your help and patience so far...
You do not extract the file, leave it as a zip and do not open it. Move it to your SD card while in fastboot (mount sd) and from there use twrp and select the correct zip to flash. But above all... DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILR

I don't understand what you're doing here. Boot to recovery, mount storage, copy the ROM zip over, and then flash it.
Ok, so I mounted storage from recovery, or least I tried to, my PC said it needed to be formatted. So I did so, copied the file over and flashed it which completed successfully this time. My phone now boots properly, I'll give Moonshine a try now. Hopefully I won't need to bug you again, thanks for all the help.

I'm having a little trouble with Moonshine. It reboots the phone a couple of times, gets to step 3 then just keeps printing periods in the program window. I've been reading through the Moonshine thread and it seems other people have had the same problem, but I haven't seen a solid fix yet. Anyone know what I need to do or should I stick with the Moonshine thread?

You don't need S-Off to root. Since you've already unlocked the bootloader, I suggest using this program to flash a custom recovery (ex TWRP or Philz) then select perm root. The application guides you through most of it. If you need more help with the program itself, check the main thread or one of the support links in the program.

I usually run with TWRP, but both recoveries are stable. If you look in the roms section, most require Philz recovery so if you want to flash roms I would go with that. And here is a link from the program that shows a step by step process of unlocking and rooting. Just skip the unlocking portion

S-Off allows write permissions to the firmware, radio, and bootloader partitions. Some roms, like the GPE ones I believe, require S-Off, but most stock sense roms do not. You can also sim unlock with S-Off. Those are the primary uses, but someone feel free to chime in if I missed something. This is my 3rd day with the M8 lol

twrp 2702 from official site is newer that the 2704 unofficial. grab img from official site
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
IF all your wanting to do is flash roms then no need for s-off...if just learning and are leary of a brick stay safe with s-on....Theres always a chance when messing with partitions that are locked with s-on
S-Off is good for preventing brick in some situations, of course people still manage to brick their phones with s off, but to achieve S-Off you have to be familiar with adb and fastboot commands. If you required the toolkit for root, ie you do not know how to use adb and fastboot commands, I wouldn't recommend doing it until you are familiar with that. There are several guides, take some time to read and you should have a good start.
