HELP ME! I cannot get this recovery image to flash for the life of me. here's the story. I have what was a ere27 build N1. 2 weeks ago I did the manual update to Google's prerelease of Froyo. Now my phone is a FRF50 build. As everyone else found out it's buggy as hell and GPS does not work. I searched for weeks to try and find a fix and I couldn't find anything other than to unlock the bootloader root the device and flash a different rom onto the phone. So I unlocked the BL from instructions here. Then in downloaded Pauls 1.0 FRF50 superboot. I tested the root with torch and it works, so the unlock and root must have worked. This is the first time I have ever used the cmd window and I have tried everything under the sun to get this thing to work so I can flash Pauls froyo and have working GPS again.
I followed the instructions found here, but I keep getting this error.

I'm having the EXACT same problem.
Did you apply root before flashing recovery? Flash Paul's superboot, then install AmonRA recovery.

The OP says he is rooted. I am rooted as well. We both have had success in fastboot, but our recovery is defaulting to the standard android one, and not the custom one that we flash.

All you need to do is
Fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra.img
Or whatever the image name needs to be.
I think I figured out the problem. I was running a rooted version of FRF72, and for whatever reason, no matter how I tried to flash the recovery, it would not stick. I could use clockwork's app to flash and reboot into the custom recovery, but if I rebooted again, it would always default to the stock android recovery.
I now have the custom recovery working for me at all times. Here is what I did (Keep in mind, I take no responsibility if you brick your phone into oblivion...):
First: Make sure that you have an unlocked bootloader, and are rooted. I used Paul's Superboot for the FRF50 build on my FRF72 build, and it worked flawlessly.
1. Find a custom ROM such as the MoDaCo MCR18 or 19 build if you want something close to the OTA builds.. or whichever one you'd like to flash. Make sure it is not a stock/rooted OTA build! I personally used Paul's MCR18 build over at MoDaCo.
2. Download it, and then rename the rom to update.zip and transfer to your SD card's main directory
3. Download the clockwork ROM Manager app from the android Market and run it.
4. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery from the app
5. Use the feature in the app to "Reboot into Recovery"
6. You should now be in the ClockworkMod recovery
7. Do a nandroid backup!! (that may reboot your phone normally.. if so, repeat steps 4 & 5 to reboot back into custom recovery)
8. If your rom requires you to wipe prior to install, then wipe cache partition from the main menu, and then go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache prior to the next step. I did not have to wipe, so if this rebots your phone normally, repeat steps 4 &5 to get back into custom recovery.
9. Select the option to "apply sdcard:update.zip"
It will then flash the custom ROM onto your Nexus One
10. Once your phone has been rebooted, download the ClockworkMod Rom Manager from the market again (if it is not already on your phone), and re-flash the custom recovery. It should now always boot into the custom recovery.
Hope that helps!!
I was trying to unlock and root my Vivid and seem to be stuck in a bootloop.
I used the All in one kit v 1.2 (Thanks Hansoon) unlocked my bootloader, and installed CWM.
The problem occurred when I tried to install the HoliCake kernel, after that step I couldn't boot into the base OS.
At the moment I can access hboot, fastboot and CWM.
When I try to boot, all that happens is the HTC logo is visible indefinitely.
Trying to install the stack kernel gives me the following output, and i'm not really sure where to go from here.
Code:

Thank you all, since this device is also my main phone, it would be appreciated if I could get it working again before the day is out, but even if that's not possible i'm gratefull for all your help.
I use the same tool. It is amazing.
Were I you, I'd download the stock ROM from the "Revert your phone to stock from ICS" thread in the dev section and start over just to be on the safe side.

Okay, i'm back to stock, now to figure out how to actually mod this thing when adb doesn't seem to want to connect.
I have searched the forums, and I can not find the answer to my specific situation. Please forgive me if it is there somewhere. The story…….
- last working ROM was VIVO ICS official, RUU installed. (RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed.exe). HBOOT was changed to 2.02 S-ON, bootloader locked. I unlocked via HTCdev. Before this I had IceColdSandwich 8.1.1, ENG Hboot S-OFF. I had originally used the GB downgrade ROM to S-OFF, and restored IceCold backup after this.
- I wanted to be S-OFF again, and so tried installing this zip using CWM Recovery, following the advice of tpbklake:
vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip Version 1.1
(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756500&page=1)
- now boot loop. I tried reinstalling other ROMs which I have successfully installed in the past (GB downgrade, stock ICS), and also restore various backups, but all result in boot loop (stuck on white HTC screen). Each time I would use CWM Recovery to clear dalvik, cache etc.
- I have now followed 'fix' instructions in that same thread, ie. :
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Download the file format_lib_update.zip from here: http://bit.ly/RIpEUL
5. Copy it to your SD card.
6. Boot into recovery and then install format_lib_update.zip
7. While in recovery format the SYSTEM partition.
8. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But at step 3 I get the following:
C:\adb>fastboot flash lib lib.img

OK, so what is the state of your HBOOT? Are you still HBOOT 2.02.0002 UNLOCKED?
When you are using the an unlocked HTC HBOOT and you flash a custom ROM in CWM, you then manually have to extract the boot.img file from that ROM's zip file and flash it manually in FASTBOOT USB mode. If you don't do that, you will get a boot loop.
What you need to do if you can still get into CWM and the bootloader is still UNLOCKED is reflash that ROM again and then flash the boot.img file in FASTBOOT mode and you should be ok.

Well then you can always relock the bootloader and then run the 4.10.405.1 RUU like you did originally. Then you can unlock the bootloader since you already have the unlock_code.bin file.

Once you get back to that point, unlock the bootloader, install ClockworkMod and then flash su-3.0.7-efghi.zip to root the official ROM. Then you should be able to rerun the downgrade process to get back to S-OFF.

Thanks very much. The stock ICS RUU has now installed successfully. I guess when I originally tried to reinstall it, I had left out the 'RELOCK' step, which is why it failed.
So now I am back to the start (stock ICS + HBOOT 2.02 S-ON), and want to get S-OFF and install your ROM zip. ,What I originally intended to do to get S-OFF was:
1) Unlock the bootloader, flash CWM Recovery, flash SU
2) Run downgrade GB RUU
3) S-off with Revolutionary
4) Install Blackrose HBOOT
5) Install your vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_5.zip
But step 2) failed with an unknown error. (I then tried to install your zip, and the rest is the sad history.....).
So what caused step 2 to fail? Did I need to relock the bootloader first?
Many thanks for your help, tpbklake

Open a command window and then type in the command:

If you get a # prompt then your ROM is rooted correctly and the script should run. If it doesn't then the ROM isn't properly rooted and the script will fail.

Since no one else is really helping you I will.
So what I gathered is your Rom bootloops and you've tried installing stock Rom but still no luck so you want to switch recoveries but you can't get twrp to flash...?
1. Are you S-Off or S-On? If you are s-on you must flash boot.img with this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. To flash a recovery made for your device you must place it in fastboot and enter this
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Place Rom on internel storage if you choose cwm because it doesn't support external sdcard like twrp. For latest twrp, message @kairi_zeroblade... If you can't place on internal with cwm then you must do a sideload with the Rom same goes for twrp.

Not sure if you can enter this command without a-off but try
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Then repeat the previous post....
If that doesn't work I'd try firewaters universal s-off tool and obtain s-off and try that command or see if it fixes your issues with your device. if that fails your best bet would be to ruu.. if you can't do that either you got a useless device till s-off exploit Is found if that's the reason why it's messing up.... Or donate it to someone who could fix it (me)

If that doesn't work I'd try firewaters universal s-off tool and obtain s-off and try that command or see if it fixes your issues with your device. if that fails your best bet would be to ruu.. if you can't do that either you got a useless device till s-off exploit Is found if that's the reason why it's messing up.... Or donate it to someone who could fix it (me)

Seem like you fried your "/data" partition from what you just mentioned above. The only way I could see you fix is ruu. Cause HTC won't fix it if you send it in with a custom recovery at which you can't change.
And what I meant is since the device is rendered completely useless, unless you can get a run to ruu. You'd donate it to me this way i could try and fix it...

There is no RUU for this phone, as far as I know. The closest thing to RUU is flashing everything by hand, but this seems to have failed in this case, unfortunately.
Hi,
I am after some help trying to get my HTC One back up and running.
I unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev website and installed cyanogen mod.
This was working fine for quite some time, until I recently wanted to download an app that was only available on stock phones.
I tried editing the /system/build.prop file to change the version to fool the app store but that didn't work.
Then when I restored my backup build.prop, I think I got the permissions wrong or something and the phone rebooted and went into a boot loop.
Then I followed a guide to get twrp on the device which worked.
Then I followed another guide attempting the restore the device to stock using the commands
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
.
Now the phone is stuck in a boot loop. All I can do is hold down power and volume down to get to HBOOT and Fastboot. If I try and load recovery it reboots to the same menu.
What else can I try, or do I now have a new paperweight?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Also,
I have tried flashing the stock recovery but I get signature errors.
Code:
C:\Android\android-sdk-windows-r24.0.2\platform-tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery_2.24.980.2.img
target reported max download size of 1443966976 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8752 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.140s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.846s
OK,
Never mind.
I was unable to unlock my bootloader because I was typing fastboot flash unlock token Unlock_code.bin instead of unlocktoken being one word.
One I fixed that the twrp recovery started again.
Once I opened that the phone apeared on my PC as a storage device.
I copied a cyanogen mode zip to that directory then installed it via twrp.
Now I have cyanogenmod working again.
Yay - no longer a brick.
I guess I am out of luck with reverting it to stock if the RUU I need is not available for my carrier - is that right?
If so I'll stay on cyanogen mod and not worry about reverting to stock.
Next time I guess I'll take one of these nandroid backups while the phone is still stock. Hindsight.
