Couldn't start ClockworkMod any more - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
my Desire frooze during an update of ClockworkMod, I removed the battery and tried to start again but the ROM RCMixHD is not starting any more. I'm still able to boot into the fastboot(hboot) menue but I could't start into recovery to wipe and install the new ROM.
Need Help, how could I reinstall ClockworkMod Recovery or how could I fix that. Could I install a ROM without using the recovery mode ?
Right now I couldn't use the phone ;-(
Thanks for your help

hi,
if s-off, just flash new recovery from fastboot
Code:
fastboot device (to be sure your are connected)
fastboot erase recovery (cleanup previous one)
fastboot flash recovery c:\mypath\totherightfile\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
from there press once power and use vol up/down to select recovery.
that s all
hope this help

after doing the s-off exploit no recovery!! :(

ok just got s-off and i just get hung up at the why so serious image iv tried rom manager to reinstall the recovery, unrevoked 3 and droid explorer but it seems i can get into recovery any help is much appreciated
Well it is just all about reflashing the recovery, which has fixed it for several people already, so it should work for you as well.
First of all. Rom manager does not flash a recovery. It puts an update.zip on the sd-card, which when flashed, launches the clockwork mod recovery.
You should be able to just flash the recovery using fastboot with this command:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
To do this you will need the fastboot drivers which you get by installing the android sdk.
You will then just need to find a recovery.img for the desire if you need further help just ask away.

fastboot issues - help seriously needed - device possibly bricked

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a Gnexus in Brazil and after some tests, I decided to push Jelly Bean (v. 4.1.1). From my initial research, I've found out that step one would be replacing the brazilian ICS v. 4.02 image with a region free ICS v. 4.04. image. Here's what I've done:
a) First, I installed Gnex Toolkit v. 7.5 + drivers;
b) Then, I selected my phone model and build (ICL53F)/ICS v. 4.02, unlocked the device, downloaded the region free ICS 4.04 image (yakju-imm76i-factory-8001e72f.tgz) and moved it to "put_google_stock_images_here";
c) Finally, and moved to the "Download, Extract + Flash Google Factory Stock Rom";
d) The files could not be transfered, thou;
Some research revealed this command-line fastboot procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1572307
That's when things went terribly wrong. I used 7-zip to uncompress the .tgz file, then pushed the individual files one by one. In the end, I got stuck on the loading animation.
In desperation, I tried to revert using this image http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1789179 and the same fastboot commands. The "system" copy failed and now I'm stuck on the Google logo. It's a mess...
Is there hope? Please, please, please I could use some help.
Would this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1781250 save my beloved Gnexus!? How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance.
solution found! hope this can help others...
Well,
It looks like fastboot can also solve everything. My Gnexus is alive again. Here's what I did:
a) downloaded this image: takju-imm76i-factory-e8c33767.tgz;
b) uncompressed everything using 7-zip to a single folder, the same where fastboot-windows.exe is;
c) used those fastboot commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-********.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fasboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
But there's still something that requires further investigation. The v. 4.1. OTA showed up, has been downloaded but did not install. I'm now stuck on v4.04. Do anyone know what's wrong? Any hints?
Thanks in advance, again.
EDIT: this method works, but make sure to add one more line up there:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Cya!
use this toolkit http://www.wugfresh.com/dev/nexus-root-toolkit/. it should be easier. it can return your phone to original state. and you can install JB more easier. no command line.

Precisely.
In order for the OTA to auto-install, it needs stock recovery.

You can't go wrong with fastboot.
The same thing happened to me just yesterday nd i was stuck on google logo... do one thing, change ur laptop nd install the drivers to another system. Connect ur fone in bootloader mode nd install the drivers... then flash the system file, boot file, recovery file nd radio basband files... i had to do this twice to start my fone... nd use wugfresh galaxy nexus toolkit

Problem solved! Jelly Beam v 4.1.1. running smoothly at the moment. Fastboot commands are much more reliable then toolkits, as long as you don't forget flashing the recovery.img, like I did.
Thanks for the help, guys!

[Q] Phone wont boot and looking for last resort fix

Right here goes!
I've scoured the threads and I think I've tried everything so far to solve my problem, but still to no avail!
I woke up one morning and my phone was in hboot, wasn't plugged in, and was unresponsive. I tried charging but it wouldn't take it. I'm running stock JB 4.1 via OTA from Vodafone (UK). I had a new battery, and managed to replace the old one. I checked the old one and it had 2.8v output with the new one being 3.8V. I then ran that .bat file to loop the phone in a sort of charge mode to make sure I had sufficient charge. Phone still wouldn't boot. I then tried to do various things listed on this forum, but still have same symptoms. I just need the damn thing to work!
My current version is 3.14.161.27, an I managed to find this RUU. Download consisted of boot.img, rcdata.img and recovery.img
I'm in CMD....with the phone in unlocked mode connected via fastboot usb. Clear chache, run the boot.img and then I run hboot_1.36.0000_.img but error comes up saying cannot load 'hboot_1.36.0000_.img' : unknown error
If i re-lock the phone and do the same thing I get access not allowed in cmd.
what am I doing wrong here? any ideas? I can't find a .exe file for my original ROM either.
recovery doesn't work...just hangs on the HTC screen. factory reset doesn't work wither, same thing happens
I would be happy to try a custom ROM or anything that might get the phone booting again.
Please point me in a 'direction' or offer some help, I will be very grateful!
Did you do the command
Fastboot erase cache
with the phone in the bootloader ?
And then try to enter the recovery.....but do it with unlocked bootloader

Unlocked it again just now, erased cache but then just hangs in the HTC screen after selecting recovery. Eventually reboots.
Hmm did you reflashed the recovery ?
And also do these fastboot commands
Fastboot getvar version-main
Fastboot oem readcid

version-main gives: 3.14.161.27

Did you use that to upgrade the hboot ! After upgrading the hboot you can reflash a custom recovery
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter recovery and perform a full wipe, then mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device and copy the rom.zip over .... flash the boot.img in fastboot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Enter recovery and install the rom.zip

my hboot was already version 1.36 so didn't need to. Flashed recovery, and erased cache. CMD...saying successful. Then I unplug usb and go into recovery...but still it just hangs on the HTC screen.
I'm honestly suspecting a hardware fault now tbh.
Hmm this is odd ! Do this
Fastboot erase recovery (if i recall the command)
Then flash this one

I've tried a few commands now and get the same error. I did flash the recovery 5.8.4.0 anyway but got an 'unknown error'. I have to stay I'm stumped now! I've been scratching my head for a while. I did all this wile the phone was in *UNLOCKED* mode too.
The recovery has to be without spaces. Change it to just recovery.img
The remote not allowed seems in place when the bootloader is locked

Flashed the recovery 5.8.4.0 and it seemed to take it fine...see PGN. However when I click recovery on my phone, it goes to the HTC screen again, and just hangs. It seems its just fed up of being a phone, wants to change its career path and become a paperweight
Also did a
Fastboot erase cache
Afterwards the flash ?

Hmm I'm pretty out of answers at this point. What if you start all over.....install the RUU to get back to stock, or flash the right firmware again. And then reflash the custom recovery

Thank's for your time on this issue. I've tried every trick in the book and had to give up. I'm putting it down to some hardware issue. I have another phone on the way via insurance, but gutted I couldn't get my data back! learnt my lesson...back everything up regularly!
Thanks again

Unlocked via HTCDev, am i rooted?

This is my first HTC device so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I unlocked my One last night via the HTC Dev site last night. Everything went ok. So my question is am I also rooted or do I need to do another step?
Thanks in advance!

Got it. I got into recovery through the bootloader menu. Is there an app like Rom Toolbox that will allow me to boot into recovery vs. having to do the power down, etc method??
Download Rom manager. Don't use it to flash anything, but just use it to boot to recovery.

You can't go in fastboot mode via any command on g3, so you have to null recovery or iaf partition, and then tell phone to boot from it. After it will find nothing but nulls, it will revert to fastboot mode.
BTW this thread should be in Q&A forum, not in development one...
iaf partition is "download mode" and nulling it is a sureway to kill your device. Nulling recovery will kill your twrp... I suggest you reflash stock and wait for deviant rom to be bump'd.
