[Q] Having difficulties getting custom recovery to work

Hey guys!
My friend asked me to root is HTC Wildfire S, it has S-OFF and an unlocked bootloader (yay!). then I flashed (supposedly successfully) a custom recovery, but when I select RECOVERY on the HBOOT screen the device is stuck at the HTC logo and does nothing. I tried putting the zip with the weird name that HBOOT recognizes and it installs with no error. I also tried to flash it with fastboot which also writes the recovery partition with no error, but it still won't load the recovery. (Although when I try to "fastboot erase recovery" it fails saying: "FAILED (remote: not allowed)". I also tried both CWM and TWRP and neither of them worked. Anyone could help me get the custom recovery working? I also attached a image of the HBOOT screen if that helps. USB debugging is turned on, and fastboot is disabled in settings.

As I can tell of "Feb 8 2012" your WFS is 2012 edition
You need another recovery modded for the WFS
1.Download this
2.Extract it
3.Install it using CMD

thanks, it worked

failed upgrade Rom RUU in HTC T-Mobile M9

Trying to upgrade my HTC M9 (T-Mobile) with a ROM RUU_HIMA_UL_L51_SENSE70_TMUS_MR_TMOUS_2.11.531.19.exe (2.3GB), it reached 75% and the upgrade failed.
Now turning on the phone freezes in the HTC logo.
Trying to get "recovery mode" hangs showing me a red exclamation mark.

Please help me...

Got Recovery Mode
After "Exclamation Mark" Once there, hold the power button and tap the up vol button and I have all of my Recovery mode options.
In Recovery Mode made "Wipe Cache Partition" and "Factory Reset".
After reboot still hang in HTC Logo.
Can I upgrede (or fix) from SD Card. Can you tell me how?
regards

About the SD card method, you first need to rename the "RUU zip" file, (make sure RUU is not in exe format), to 0PJAIMG.zip, place it on an SD card that's formatted in FAT32, reboot to download mode and press volume up to begin flashing. But before you proceed with this method, make sure your CID and MID match with those of the RUU you are trying to flash. Hope it helped.
Edit: Alternatively, just run the RUU exe you already have. When it has finished extracting and asks to proceed by clicking "Next", do not click "Next".
Instead, hold Windows Key and then press r (to launch run) and type in %temp% and press Enter. You'll see a lot of files. Just right click and sort by "Date Modified". Locate the latest folder created, in this case it might be the first one. Open the folder, press CTRL+F and type in rom.zip. Copy rom.zip and paste it somewhere (Desktop for example). This zip file is what you need. Rename it to 0PJAIMG.zip, place it on an SD card that's formatted in FAT32, reboot to download mode and press volume up to begin flashing.

Another Firmware update issue.

Hey all,
Noobie question time! Did the firmware update (or so I think) and now I do have adb connection but not fastboot? or mounted sd card. (Did re-format and now it seems to be available). I messed something up along the way obviously, it looked very much finished after both adb and the phone were inactive for a minute or so.
Currently in what seems to be factory recovery?

What's next guys? I need twp and Venom update. *** Sideload option available didn't want twrp, because of not having fastboot?
Also showing:FILE/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/0PJAIMG.zip
File not found.
Thanks for all the help, I'd be useless with out you!

I found out that:
1. Android sdk must be installed.
2. Htc sync must be uninstalled but keep its drivers. (install then uninstall it, keep drivers option!).
3. Use twrp 2.9.0.1 (reboot recovery will not appear until you use this twrp) and supersu 2.65.
4. Do not sideload. Use Fastboot and adb. No matter what!.
Download mode is Fastboot commands. Recovery is adb commands.
When you get to the reboot to recovery bit, boot to bootloader with hold vol+& press power. "reboot recovery" should be halfway down the list in bright lime green font. Read carefully. I missed it first time and panicked.

Shivadow, do you have a link for that twrp I can't seem to find it.
Thanks for the info!

Update:
Got twrp 2.8 on. Won't take newer versions of venom, assuming they need 3.0.
I noticed that the error on the bottom of the device - 0PJAIMG.zip file not found on sd path is RUU related? If so should I try the ruu again as I might have a partial install??

0pjaimg is for flashing but in your case it'll do more damage than good.
You can get twrp 2.9.0.1 from the repo or various sites. Google is your friend.

Stock Bootloader loop, can't go into recovery mode, tried everything

I wanted to downgrade to 5.0 to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery and ROM. Used the official FW from the Asus page, installed it from within the OS (android MM stock). It all went as expected until at the end of the install it rebooted and got into the bootloader screen instead of booting normally. It won't go into recovery.
Phone will NOT turn on with power button + volume down button, not ever.
Power button + volume up does nothing, it turns the phone on just like the power button alone would do.
Once in the stock bootloader if I select [recovery mode] it will simply reset and go back to where I was. I never get the dead android error, it just go back to the bootloader select menu
I get this screen

What can I do? all the tutorials I seen either asume I can get into recovery or use power button + volume down button which in my case doesn't works

Find images of system, ifwi, recovery etc. and fastboot flash them. you can try first with recovery only. the adb command will be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.
img" just search the forum plenty of guides here

I looked at the guides, most require recovery on the phone to work (it doesnt here, just reboots back into the bootloader) and for some reason adb can't find this phone, tried on 2 different computers

BTW I tried with another android phone and adb worked just fine
How is it possible no computer can even tell this phone is connected at all?

Bricked Z2 pro

Hello,
I have a z2 pro, and i wanted to change the ROM on it. Since it came with a modified ROM, i flash a stock ROM. I then unlocked bootloader sucessfully.
I transfered the new ROM to the phone and did a
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The phone booted with twrp correctly. I then did a wipe of system, cache and dalvik.
I tried to install the new ROM, but it prompted me the error "Unknown Command [log]". Having already installed a new ROM on another device, i remembered that disconnecting the usb cable or rebooting did the work, so i did both.
Now, the phone isn't recognized by my computer, so i can't redo the "fastboot flash", and when i go into recovery mode, it isn't TWRP that is loaded but this

Edit: I have shut down the phone and hold the power button, windows seems to recognize it as a cd drive. QFIL still doesn't change his status from "no port available"
Thanks
