Well, if your rom boots normally, then you can download ROM flasher or 4rext recovery flasher from the GP. These apps are able to flash recovery under your android/

I was going to suggest that too, but it sounds like he's at the step after unlocking but before the custom recovery which means su hadn't been installed. I believe those apps need su.
OP: are the drivers installed if you are using a windows machine?

yes,ive reinstalled the drivers a couple times.i dont have su yet.im at the step just after unlocking bootloader.

You could try locking the bootloader and running the ruu.exe to set everything back to stock and then start over.

Although the dev claims it does, Ramjet73 tried it and was having trouble getting it to work with the 3d. I wouldn't count on it working, but I do know that the unknownforce/closeone live CD hboot downgrade method and the JB wire trick do work.

Hello.
I have a friend's Thunderbolt that's called HTC Cobalt in Open Mobile. I unlocked it via HTC dev and it all ran successfully. Now I'm trying to install a recovery (CWM). And all I get is an error.
I tried installing it via Revolutionary, but no go. I also tried the All in One Thunderbolt tool and still no go. Here's a pic of the bootloader:
Is there a way to root this thing properly to add a recovery?
Can u flash 4ext in hboot?

Yes, and it said something about the phone's software being old.
And later attempted to use Zergrush, but it failed.

Well, I had to do an OEM lock just in case cuz he returns it. I told him not to though. Open mobile employees are kind of dumb so it would look better as relocked than unlocked.

You need to unlock it again in order to put the recovery on it. That will be the only way to get superuser installed.

since youve allready unlocked,heres what id do:
-reunlock(use original token)
-fastboot flash recovery( fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img
you can use any recovery,it doesnt have to be ext 4. i personally refer twrp or amon,but thats up to you.
-flash a rooted stock rom,2.11.605.5 or older
-run revolutionary
despite calling the open mobile modle "cobalt" the hboot screen clearly displays mecha,so theres really no reason revolutionary shouldnt work.
if it is getting some sort of CID error,might try making a gold card and putting it into the phone when running revolutionary.
in a worse case,you can always make a gold card and downgrade to exploitable vzw firmware,and manually write shadowmites permanent patched hboot. after that,you should be able to fastboot oem write cid 11111111 to superCID the TB and then run the open mobile ruu to get back to that firmware.
just holler if you need a download and/or help with the commands
Great post. I will try that. Thanks a TON!!!

check out this thread:
http://androidforums.com/thunderbol...591-help-root-htc-cobalt-aka-thunderbolt.html (i actually found yours while searching for info for the other one )
all he did was run fre3vo and then revolutionary. you can stay relocked and do that(directions here: http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/418539-thunderbolt-root-unroot-thread.html )
or you can re-unlock,flash recovery,then prolly flash superuser 3.0.7 instead of flashing a stock rom. all that really matters is root acess for revolutionary to work. shouldnt matter if its temp root from fre3vo,or permanent root from htcdev
the main thing is that it worked for him without the use of a gold card.
I got my Evo 3d off Craigslist this morning and i love it. Traded my Evo 4g plus cash for it and i couldnt be happier. I was very successful in rooting the 4g amd never had any problems that i can think of and im hoping the same goes for the 3d.
Anyways ive been reading and reading on how to root it, get s-off so i can install a recovery and them flash a rom and kernel. Ive managed to confuse myself because it seems that if you root it one way, you may not be able tp fash custom kernels and if you use another method to root it, your more than like to have all sorts of problems.
Basicall i need help and if someone could post a link to show me best method on how to root, s-off, install custom recovery, and install a rom on the 3d it would be greatly appreciated.

The twrp recovery has a method to flash that recovery without a computer by downloading it as a zip and naming it properly. See their site for detail.
I still recommend s-off since it is easier to flash Roms and the ics Roms tend to bootloop with s-on.

It looks like you renamed it to the wrong thing. If you downloaded TWRP 2.2.0 zip, it must be renamed PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sd card. Then when you update in bootloader, it should work.

Hmmm... Does your phone boot? If so, you could download 4ext (see my signature) and install their app. Then it will push the custom recovery for you. I use 4ext myself anyway.
I tried using their app already and it won't let me since I don't have root

Once thaat was fixed, I installed twrp recovery and flashed Su.then did the wire trick which me VERY nervous but it worked and got S-Off after a couple tries and I then installed 4ext recovery from which I understand is the best recovery available.

Your welcome. Glad you figured it out. I personally have never had an issue with the 4ext recovery.
Hi
I have a Legend and i have made it S-OFF with htc-dev
now i am trying have it rooted and flash cwm onto it.
when i boot into HBOOT with power + vol- and plugin the usb cable and enters the adb like this:
Code:
C:\legend>adb reboot bootloader
error: device not found
C:\legend>fastboot devices
SH0BTNX04748 fastboot
C:\legend>fastboot flash recovery.img
unknown partition 'recovery.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'
C:\legend>
I have tried a number of the guides here and other places on the net, but cant get it rooted or flash cwm.
I am suspecting some error on the Legend, because i cannot even flash the latest update for it:
RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.6_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_222317_signed.exe

So I tried the fake-flash but as the picture shows it doesnt work either.

I more and more believe that it is going to be retired. I just hoped I could try ICS or JB on it, like I use on my Desire and Sensation.
As noted by me and others in many many threads regarding hboot 1.02 you can't use fake flash you must do the s-off method of clockwork mod recovery.
Do the s-off flashy thing, then you can boot into clockworkmod recovery

Hello. I have been searching for solution to my problem since last night. Some came close but couldn't solve my problem completely. I am using an International/Unbranded/Asian/Carrier Free Amaze 4G running GB 2.3.4. As every other International Amaze user, I wanted to update to ICS but I couldn't since there was no official update to ICS for unbranded Amaze. So, I researched on how to do it and I started the journey to update my Amaze. But I faced a problem during my journey
Here's a little background of my problem:
I used Hasoon's toolkit to unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP recovery and inject SuperUser and root my phone
After that, I researched on how I can update it to ICS. I read that to achieve what I wanted, I have to S-OFF my phone and then SuperCID it and flash ICS RUU. From here, I searched on how to achieve S-OFF on my phone. I read that Hasoon had another toolkit for this purpose. I reached his thread and opened the download link but I couldn't find the file. I read he taken it down for some reason. I then googled Hasoon's toolkit and I got a download link!
Now, I am set to S-OFF my Amaze. Excited! I didn't had an external SD card so I went and got it from my dad's S3. Then, I ran juopunutbear v.6 for the first time. Everything was going good, untill " Loading sixpacks into SD card". I got an error "Barman won't serve!" .. I looked at my phone and it was stuck at the "arrow screen". I couldn't restart it unless I pulled the battery. I couldn't boot it into recovery. But I could boot it into bootloader. Anyways, I read on Juopunutbear's website that if I am stuck on "Arrow Screen" "This is normal during the procedure, until you have gained S-OFF. Run program again.". So, I ran Juopunutbear v.6 again but again the Barman won't serve me!
Curse you, Barman! I read that if I am stuck during the process I should try it on a different PC using a different cable and SD card. I changed my SD card. Found one in my drawer. Ran Juopunutbear v.6 again and voila! This time the barman served me! Now, I have been trying the wire trick for gazillion times on my Amaze but I always get the error "Still Sober". But this error is not the real problem
Short summary of my problem: I am stuck at the "Arrow Screen" attached below. My phone won't restart unless I pull out the battery. And when I start it again, it's stuck on the "Arrow Screen" .. I can't boot into recovery but I can boot into bootloader. I tried relocking my bootloader and flashing a new kernel using Hasoon's tool but as soon as my phone boots into the bootloader, my PC won't recognize it! I am stuck on a CMD screen saying < waiting for device >
I have searched a lot for my problem. I have gone till page 10 of "Amaze Q/A, Help and Troubleshooting" on XDA, I have googled it as much as I could. Some solution came close to my problem but couldn't solve my problem completely! Please help me, guys! I am using Windows 8 on both of my PCs.
Thank you
