Anyone know why my recovery doesn't work ?
Have you tried another another links for recovery? or the one from hansoons kit?
you could have just bad luck and flash buggy one
btw your question is wrong, from what you said, recovery was flashed in ok way, so there must be something wrong with recovery you flashed

Your recovery is flashed fine.
But why do you need to go to fastboot and recovery again when your aim is getting the JB update ?
Thank you for this quick answer !

I thought I had to go back to stock recovery for the update of Jelly Bean I'm wrong?
Am I also wrong about the fact that we can apply the update without relock the bootloader?

1. Must have stock recovery installed
2. Must have a complete stock ROM (nothing is deleted)
3. Not necessary to flash a stock boot.img but it is advisable to have one
4. Not necessary to relock bootloader
5. If no.4 still brings problem then relock the bootloader but you will lose all data when unlocking again.

Is the recovery of my phone bricked ?
Ok guys I found the solution ( after 4hours of research ! ) flashing my phone with this RUU : RUU_PROTO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.18.401.1_Radio_10.21.40.06U_1.10.40.23_release_295191_signed.exe
Unfortunately (grr) I was not able to use the RUU normally (maybe because my recovery was buggy, I had a signature error) and I follow theses steps to install it :
1) fastboot erase cache
2) fastboot oem rebootRUU
3) fastboot flash zip rom.zip --> the rom.zip was extracted from the RUU.exe
4) fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) fastboot reboot
After that I could make two consecutive updates ( 1.18.401.3 and Jelly Bean update )
I hope it can help others who have the same problem :good:

I recently discovered this, and I thought it would be of some benefit to those who are wanting to unlock, modify partitions, etc without the need to flash derpunlock.sbf or modify your photon in any way. What you need to do this:
1) fastboot for Windows or Linux
2) unlocked RDL3 (ramloader) which I am providing
The process is very simple, reboot your Motorola Photon, and hold the volume down button and power button. You will see "fastboot" on the screen, now press volume up. Connect your phone to your computer, and issue the following command which I discovered:
[email protected]:~$ fastboot flash rdl.bin RDL3_unlocked.smg
sending 'rdl.bin' (3072 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.193s]
writing 'rdl.bin'...
OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.193s
This will load the unlocked ramloader (unlocked will be displayed at the top even if your phone is locked) which is normally only loaded into ram when flashing an SBF! Amazing, I know. Now you can do all kinds of stuff and you've made no modifications, just issue a "fastboot reboot" and nothing has been modified. Now you are able to erase boot, recovery, oem unlock, etc. Here is an example after you have executed the above. This is just me restoring my default boot and recovery partitions which you can't do from your locked bootloader:
[email protected]:~$ fastboot erase recovery

what would be the process coming from locked stock _6, would i just flash clock work mod, flash rom.zip then OP's inputs?

The process of loading the unlocked ramloader is the same regardless of your firmware, even if the bootloader is 'locked'. The ramloader is just that, its written to ram, and so when the phone is reset the code is cleared out of memory. This means to unlock your radio, you don't have to flash anything to your ram, flashing rdl.bin basically just loads the ramloader to executable memory, then jumps to it. I'm still working on figuring out how to use this to chain load a custom recovery.
Love this! Keep up the good work!
So can I flash CWM after this kind of unlock the bootloader and then custom rom.

Will this be useful for the ones that flash the electrify rom on the photon?

I like what I m reading. Sounds like this would be the saving grace for those photon users stuck on an electrify rom (and yeah I m one of them!). Please let us know when you get to rewrite system with a custom rom with this method!

Not yet, you can flash it but it is not yet bootable since I haven't figured out yet how to jump to recovery from the ramloader (you'll probably get an error 2 if you flash CWM then boot to recovery). After you reset your phone, rdl.bin gets cleared out so the same protection mechanisms are still in the bootloader. It's something I'm working on.

I already can. just do the following:
fastboot flash rdl.bin RDL3_unlocked.smg
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system your_system_file.smg
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot your_boot.smg
fastboot reboot
EDIT: file extension doesn't really matter, can be smg or img
Theres also updating from fastboot using a zip file, I'm not 100% sure if this works the same as in recovery:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip

I'm pretty sure the reason you're receiving this error is because this RDL is from derpunlock.sbf from photon_pudding.rar. I'll post the unlocked pudding electrify ramloader.

Hello!
I installed Munjeni's special hboot partition (to increase usable space) and wanted to update the phone back to stock (to take back to att).
The RUU utility failed with code of 152.
The partition failed.
Now the phone is "stuck" at the black HTC screen with four warning triangles in each corner.
Any ideas?
I can fastboot and issue some commands...
I am s-on, hboot 1.02.
Thanks in advance!

If the bootloader is accessible, you can try grabbing the rom.zip out of the RUU (run it & let it load, then search in Windows' temporary folder for "rom.zip". If not there's probably a download somewhere), and rename it to "LIBEIMG.zip" on the root of the SD card.
Then boot into the bootloader (vol down) and it should pick it up and start flashing (might be a confirmation before it does)
Edit: Well I looked at the title again... does this mean its not accessible?
It should be if fastboot is, but I've never had the bad triangles so not completely sure..
If not, alternate option that may work: extract the hboot image from rom.zip and flash it with fastboot (if its allowed)

Do you have a stock HBoot? if so i think it has to be unlocked for fastboot commands even on s-off unless you have a modified Hboot that allows for fastboot commands while locked.

Well if your bootloader is locked i would unlock it or get a modified bootloader that allows fastboot commands while locked. If those dont work then youll have to ask a dev

Hi.
After I've tried to install a custom rom, I've done a very big mistake. Now I can't boot the tab, and if I try to go in recovery or wipe data through fastboot i get the fatally error "unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000". I haven't any nvflash backup and have the JB bootloader (10.6.1.8). The only thing that works are the APX mode and the fastboot. I'm feeling a very idiot because i bought it yesterday.
Now, what can I do? Dump it and f**k myself? :crying:
Sorry for my bad english, thank you for your help.
I realized I'm screwed. But I've tried something...
When I go run the fastboot mode and delete a partition, for example:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
works, and after I can run other command. But if I use:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
seems it works, in fact the output is
Code:

OKAY [ 2.431s]

but it's stucked and I need to reboot manually.
Any idea?

I have fastboot access i can send a recovery image over to it (twrp 2.5 ics.img) however when i reboot it i dont see the recovery!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Someone help
Try this at your own risk. I do not take any responsibility, read on if you accept the risks.
I have discovered a working solution for people that have S-OFF RELOCKED and took the latest/last OTA update but cant flash a recovery via fastboot and cant re-unlock.
When i tried the following in fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (place your favorite recovery into platform-tools folder)
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (8758 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.018s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.049s
It errors out by using TWRP and CWM FAILED (remote: not allowed)
INSTRUCTIONS:
download the attached recovery.zip and place it into platform-tools (TWRP recovery)
fastboot oem rebootRUU
---wait for black HTC logo--
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip
--it will show a progress bar on your phone, and finished in the CMD window--
fastboot reboot bootloader
select recovery
profit
Can someone confirm that flashing recovery works with the method above. Also post what version software you are running. Someone with S-ON LOCKED please try this, possible new way to flash ROMS without S-OFF/unlock?
Awesome
I know it's been a while since you posted this, but THANK YOU. Worked a charm on my S-OFF Relocked 3.06. I even modified the zip file, removed the older version of TWRP, inserted a new version (renamed as recovery.img) and now have the most recent TWRP.
