ClockworkMod broken?

Hey there.
I just got myself a (white) Desire with SLCD:
BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON
RADIO-5.11.05.27
Since i want to install oxygen2 RC7 i rooted the phone first with unrevoked3.
It seems that it worked since "Rom Manager" got su. But booting into Recovery gives me following lines:
E:cant mount cache:recovery/command
E:cant find misc:
because of that i cant do a nandroid backup and i guess flashing a new rom also wont work.
so i tried to re-root the Desire with unrevoked several times (using Linux Ubuntu) but nothing changed. Furthermore unrevoked told me, that my firmware was too new (because i'm already rooted?)
so i tried flashing AmonRa 2.0 with unrevoked. wont work and firmware still too new.
so i tried:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img in cmd (after downloading Android SDK)
but it said something about signature verify fail.
After a while i found a workaround by booting the AmonRa recovery first with:
fastboot boot recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img
but it told me something about FAILED <remote: not allowed>
I guess flashing the stock rom from shippedRoms and re-rooting the desire wont work since i dont believe that flashing a ROM is possible. Also i'm new to this stuff (rooted and flashe Desire with AMOLED before) and would prefer to not brick my phone
any ideas?
(btw: please excuse my bad english)
edit: i can't even wipe the phone. if i try it gives me the mentioned lines from above.

Have you read the stickie in general? There the pvt4 situation is explained.
Also a ruu (stuff from shiped roms) does not require root.
So you can unroot and use unrevoked again with the right recovery image or if your comfortable S-offing you could do that and use fastboot to flash the recovery image.
Keep in mind that you are the only one responsible for your phone, no one else.

thanks!!
i overlooked this thread. As soon as the desire gets home (actually it belongs to my girlfriend) i'm gooing to try again by flashing RUU and rooting again with AmonRa Recovery since i don't know if S-offing the device would be the best idea.
Thanks so far. I will report in time.

hey.
i just found out, that the phone is a branded one (vodafone_fr).
So just in case i created a goldcard as long as the device is running.
I downloaded following RUUs:
OTA_Bravo_Vodafone FR_(A1 Österreich)_von 1.21.163.2 zu 2.10.163.1
OTA_Bravo_Froyo_Vodafone FR_(A1 Österreich) von 2.10.163.1_zu 2.33.163.1_R
i renamed it to PB99IMG.zip, put it on the SD Card and restarted the phone while holding volumeDown.
After a while it gives me "PB99IMG.zip.....No image or wrong image"
After reboot nothing changed.
Is there any possibility to get a working RUU for my Desire (2.33.163.1).
Or HAVE i to go via alpharev S-off?
Man, with my PVT1 Amoled Desire the whole procedure was done within half an hour.

You don't rename the RUU itself, you need to extract the ROM.zip file from the RUU and rename that. Follow this guide I posted on another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102

Hey guys and thanks for your help.
I managed to get root via unrevoked and flash AmonRA by uninstalling zysploit FIRST. Now unrevoked didnt tell me anymore that my firmware ist too new.
Summarizing: If yout get something like this after rooting with unrevoked:
E:cant mount cache
E:cant find misc
than u just have to re-root your desire with unrevoked. This time you have to load a custom recovery (i recommend AmonRa 2.0 since it worked for me) and deinstall Rom Manager and zyploit from your phone before plugging in you phone.
In the Linux Terminal it still says "Error n=-1 ... no such device " three times but it stills works.
Now it was possible for me to run a nandroid backup and to partition the sd
THANKS guys

[Q] help!! files cannot be found in clockworkmod recovery.

Hey everyone. I need help here, I am still a noob. Currently I am using a htc desire. i managed to root my desire after setting the install location back to 0. Previously i did what this website ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13557827#post13557827) said, to move my apps to sd since i am still using unrooted stock rom.
Apparently, after rooting, the clockworkmod recovery was not installed properly. it says that some files cannot be found. So i end up rebooting the device.
this is what that is shown in the recovery mode.
clockworkMod Recovery v 2.5.07
E: Can't find MISC:
E: Can't mount CACHE : recovery / command
E: Can't find MISC
E: Can't mount CACHE : recovery / log
E: Can't find MISC:
I tried to update the fake flash for S-ON users from
udK's thread on the clockworkmodrecovery. But the same things as above still appear on the recovery screen. i also downloaded the update.zip file from leedriod and update thru zip from recovery mode. the same thing is shown on the screen. So, Can i still use the clockworkmod recovery to flash custom rom? P.S. i had rooted my desire, the next thing left to do is to S-OFF my desire, partition my sd card and flash the custom rom. What should i do next?
this is the information when i check my hboot version.

Thank you for helping!!

Did you try to reformat your SD card to FAT32? I suggest you do so (unix preferred, as windows isn't as tedious) and do a clean install.

no, i have not reformatted my sd card yet. was planning to partition my card after rooting. i was following the [Video Tutorial] Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide UPDATED [04/04/11][Video Tut] to root my hp. currently i stopped after the rooting step since the clockworkmod recovery is not installed properly. what do you mean by clean install??

can i use amon_ra recovery as a custom recovery for unrevoked 3 and use unrevoked 3 to flash the img ? currently my desire is still S-ON. I had downloaded the recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621 .

Yes you can give that a try though, I highly doubt it has to do with the recovery itself as you were able to start CWM.

You have PVT4 device, which means CWM 2.5.0.7 won't work on it. Either use AmonRa 2.0.1 or CWM 3.x.x.x

I tried to update the CWM 3.x.x.x by using recovery via zip file. After that, same thing happen. Smth is missing and the next time I enter into recovery is 2.5.0.7 again .. what should I do ? Currently my software number is 2.13.707.2 , can I flash the RUU with the software number 2.13.707.1 ? Might want to start from scratch again.

But my desire had never been rooted before until yesterday. The only thing I did was changing the install location via pc for unrooted stock Rom. But I did not change the location back when I start to root my desire. After that I change the location back to 0 and the root was successful until the installation of CWM recovery.

may i ask, can i use a RUU with software 2.13.707.1 to flash over my current 2.13.707.2. my current one is a rooted stock which is stuck halfway due to the CWM recovery's missing file.

I had exactly the same thing about a week ago and in the end used alpharev
created a ISO CD and installed alpharev and cwm that way was really simple
Once it did its trick took about 5min I was s-off and had working clockwork
Google it worked perfect

oh ya.. currently, i had burn the alpharev into my cd. but my computer wouldn't seem to boot from cd. the options i had in my setup is choose priority of hard disc ( which the cd/ dvd rom is not there. and the device to boot from, only has the hard disc and removable device. i chose removable device but nothing happen at all. what can i do ?

If you can't boot into CD then your in a bit of trouble trying to use the CD option ?
Maybe the USB option might work for you, all i had to do on my pc was F12 on boot select cd once the screen went dark plugged my phone in and followed the onscreen instructions really was that simple.
Have you actually shut down the PC rather than restart ?

Thats up to you, you can always flash back to the 2.4.1.
Personally i think it depends what your after i'm running a GingerBread rom on my desire HD which is pukka good but if battery life is your main priority certainly for the Desire HD the froyo roms still last longer imo, but i can only speak from the DHD perspective as thats the phone i have may be different for the desire...

To avoid later problems flash cwm 3.0.2.8 with fastboot

[Q] How to back to the official froyo ?

Is there any way to get back to the official froyo? cz after i did the alpharevx i fell my wf lost the htc sense. i feel somtehing different on the map. But the "flip to silent" geature still works.
Thanks for your answer

You need the Sense Fix, it is available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156713
And if you still want to go back to the state before AlphaRev X, the procedure is stated here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160251

So you are on the htc sense rom and not installed any custom rom then follow this procedure.
1.Apply the HTC Sense fix ,procedure could be found on XDA
2.Do S-ON,procedure could be founded on XDA
3.Now you must also remove the clockworkmod recovery in order to recieve future HTC OTA Updates .For this email me([email protected]) and i will send you firmware.zip,download and rename it to PC49IMG.Place it on the sd card but before placing format the sd card to fat 32.Reboot the phone to HBOOT by pressing vol. down and power key.wait for the sd card to be checked and it will ask to update ,follow the instructions given on the screen and reboot the phone.
(cant post firmware.zip here due to the size limit)
AND YOU'RE DONE!!!!!
You have a completely unrooted device with stock recovery and no one can say that this device was once rooted.
P.S. If you have installed a custom rom the restore the HTC Froyo Rom backup to bring it to company state.
Make sure you restore the backup which you had made before flashing superuser, if not then restore the backup which you made and try to uninstall it from applications menu,if it does not uninstall then will remain there and i dont know how to remove it.
I had made a backup before flashing the superuser so there was no superuser installed for my case on restoring the backup
I also did this and was sucessfull in unrooting my device

Thanks for you both !!!
*Clicked thanks button*
But, my ROM is still DK Custom. How can i change it to be the Official Froyo ?

Flash an RUU.
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Buzz
This will remove Clockworkmod Recovery, and your Custom ROM.

you must have made the backup of HTC rom after you had used alpharev-x and falshed the clock workmod recovery.Restore that backup

i didnt bakcup mine sadly
gonna try this one : http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...3.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
So, ive done the S-ON. then am gonna do the flashing with shipped ROM.
Thanks for everyone again

felt sad for you that you did not made a backup,try falshing an ruu it would help.If you want i can send you my backup

You don't have to recover someones backup. Why not flash the "safe flash zip" roms which are equal to stock roms. You can find their links in index thread.
And if you want complete stock including stock recovery then follow this. This eliminates connection errors of ruu.
In your windows PC click on start and type %temp% and enter. That opens the PC user temporary folder. Just minimize the folder. Now open your ruu (donot connect phone to PC). Donot go with the process, just keep the ruu window aside open. Now search for the file "rom.zip" in the temporary folder (use search function). The rom.zip will be present in a folder (with random name, which the folder name enclosed with {} brackets) . Now copy the rom.zip to a safe location and rename it to PC49IMG.ZIP. Now format your sdcard to fat32 and place the pc49img.zip at the root of sdcard. Now reboot to hboot menu . Then you will be prompted to do the update.
Make sure you have enough battery and do not interrupt the process by pulling battery.

Have you flashed stock hboot from alpharevx hboot. If yes, which hboot have you flashed. Is it 1.01.001. If this is the case then you need to use froyo wwe ruu.
If you are still on apharevx hboot then you need to flash stock hboot. This process was there in the Dev section. I suggest you to flash stock hboot 0.80 from the "ruu-buzz-htc-wwe-1.37" you mentioned. If you do this you can go with my previous post.
Let me know your hboot version.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

my hboot is like what alpharevx allow. not xxxxxxx2 but xxxxxxxx1
mine is already s-on but still have recovery and root.
i tried to flash the safe buzz but it says error

So what I got from your posts is --- you have used alpharevx to make the phone s-off. Then flashed aosp rom. Then as you are missing sense, you want stock rom with stock hboot and recovery. So, I think you followed the process to revert back to s-on. During that you have first flashed "Ruu_buzz_froyo_HTC_wwe_2.22.405.1". Then flashed fastboot command and stock hboot 1.01.0001 from that thread. If this is all what you have done, then just flash the "Ruu_buzz_froyo_HTC_wwe_2.22.405.1" again. And if you face USB connection errors, just make pc49img.zip with this ruu (the process that I previously mentioned).
Edit: And "safe buzz" zips should be flashed from cwm 2.x recovery. If you use cwm 3.x or above recovery then you need to flash 2.x recovery to use them. Again refer the index thread on how to.
And if you have previously flashed wwe 2.22.405.1 ruu during revert back to s-on, then flashing safe buzz is useless. Because safe buzz will not overwrite the custom recovery with stock recovery.

[Q] probelm in rooting & flashing recovery

Sirs,
I need your help for my problem.
I tried to root & flash ClockworkMod Recovery image by using UnrEVOked_3.31. so by mistake the image file for ClockworkMod was corrupted. So during rooting & recovery process and after several reboot of my phone "HTC Desire", the UnrEVOked_3.31 said fail can't flash recovery image.
Then after I repeated the process again but by valid and good file image of recovery. but the process did not success, UnrEVOked_3.31 said failure.
Here, I stop and check my phone, it is working fine and I found Superuser app in application, So What does that mean, Is my phone rooted?
also, I went to HBOOT, then I selected RECOVERY in there, I saw HTC sing for part of second then return back to Hboot.
My desire information: SLCD display, Hboot v 0.93, S-ON, android 2.2
So, please give help, and I hope to heare you soon.
Regards

If You have Superuser app in application Your phone should be rooted , but if You can't open recovery something is wrong. Mayby try unroot phone to stock, and root again.
2) Or You can s-off with revolutionary and flash recovery with fastboot.
http://revolutionary.io/

Thanks for your kindly help.
before just half hour, I decided the following steps:
1.copy from SD the recovey v.2.5 have been downloaded from Rom Manager .
2.disable SIM lock and screen lock
3.use UnrEVOked_3.31 again for last time to flash recovery.
4.never touch phone until finish.
So, this time I sucessed and I flashed the recovery well.

You can use Alpharev's tool also, so go S-OFF and to use a new partition table with more data space.

To use alpharev, you have to be rooted.
@OP:
Which error message did you get when flashing?
Anyway, I recommend to use revolutionary (you get root and S-OFF in two very easy steps) :

[ROOT] HTC Desire stuck on Bootscreen after evo³

Hi,
I need some help solving my root problem with my European HTC Desire. I recently got the device itself from a friend. Since both noobs with Android and rooting/flashing, neither him nor me know if it is a branded phone or not. I assume, it's not branded since I couldn't see any brand on the device or in the menu so far. Also, it's still Froyo (Android 2.2) and looks pretty standard.
Same hard facts:

My aim is to get a CUSTOM ROM (preferably mild wild's cm7 JG) on the device. For rooting, I would like to use the unrevoked³ tool, since I didn't find a step-by-step instruction for revolutionary (besides, I don't like to give away my serial number...not trying being paranoid, but, you know..)
For the unrevoked method, I followed the Noob Proof Video Tutorial. I am stuck at "Waiting for reboot..." (in this video @ 2:02 min).
My guess, without knowing for certain what the problem was, is that my HTC Desire doesn't reboot correctly even without connecting it with USB-port, etc. It may be kinda broken (I had tons of bootloops, freezes, etc, pp). Maybe I somehow damaged the phone with the first try to root it? I tried anything I read here during the last 3 days (clear storage, soft reset, bootloader reboot, etc).
I need to get the battery out and then wait for good 10 Minutes, to even boot normally. Often, I just come to enter my PIN for the SIM card, when there's a reboot. Often it reboots even right after the second boot screen ("quietly brilliant").
MAybe it's a heated processor? idk, but even really long pauses wouldn't make it reboot correctly.
I disconnected the USB cable and took the battery out, then after 10 minutes, I put them back in and obviously evo³ continued the process from there ("system to settle...might take a minute" or sth similar). However, my device just rebooted there again and then I had the error code "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."
This is logical, since it reboots when it wants but never when it's supposed to ****ty phoen ^^ (excuse my language)
Any ideas?

If your phone can boot normally, without any reboots, use revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery.

Best would be to flash the 2.3 RUU (sig, put in on sd-card and boot in bootloader), and use revolutionary. You will lose all your data, but at least the phone will boot, and you will root it.
Well, except if unrevoked did install a custom recovery. Check that too.

No, unrevoked didn't make a custom recovery...the boot menu looks all the same.
However, things are really messed up now. I put the 2.3 RUU image on my SD-Card and booted it via bootloader. An update process began. After completion, the phone rebootet several times just up to the HTC-logo, vibrated about 20 times (maybe the 7-times stuff a couple of times in a row).
Nothing works now. I couldn't even boot anything now.
Also, my bootloader shows HBOOT 1.02.001 now.
Radio is 5.17.05.23
Need help!
Edit: after point 9 in the picture, the device reboots but doesn't boto further than the HTC Logo. THen it vibrates 7 times until it reboots again, then it vibrates 7 times until it reboots again...and so on, and so on...all in a loop.
Edit 2: after having the phone rested on my table over night, this morning I put the battery back in and it worked...a bit. It booted correctly and I configured the settings (debugging-mode, etc). However, trying to do unrevoked again, the device stuck at rebooting again.
Still need help, plz
Edit 3: so desperate --> plz help

You don't run unrevoked on it. If it's still in a bootloop, then flash the ruu again, then use Revolutionary to s-off. DO NOT USE OR DO ANYTHING ELSE.
1. Flash the RUU again.
2. Quick configure.
3. Use revolutionary.io.
4. Install a custom rom.

Okay, and where do I get the beta key from? I mean, I am supposed to put my S/N somewhere, but I don't know where.
Sorry, but I couldn't find any instruction on that.
Edit: my bad, I had javascript disabled
Tried it again: SUCCESS!!!
How do I get a Custom ROM on the device now? Can I continue at STEP FIVE - Partitioning Your Sd Card With Gparted in this Noob Proof Video Tutorial or does revolutionary already has some of those further steps included (like preparing SD-card, etc)?
Edit 2:
Okay, revolutionary doesn't root, it just makes S-OFF. I found this perfect step-to-step guide which is in German, though. Sorry for that...

How do I get a Custom ROM on the device now? Can I continue at STEP FIVE - Partitioning Your Sd Card With Gparted in this Noob Proof Video Tutorial or does revolutionary already has some of those further steps included (like preparing SD-card, etc)?
Edit 2:
Okay, revolutionary doesn't root, it just makes S-OFF. I found this perfect step-to-step guide which is in German, though. Sorry for that...

So it worked. You're welcome.
To root, you either install a custom rom from recovery, or you stay stock, and flash SuperSU from recovery.

Scroll down and download the CWM flashable zip.

Well, it worked so far...I rooted und S-OFFed it, I think I even updated the radio to 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 via the app "ROM Manager".
Now I try to partition the SD card, since doing that via ROM Manager from within the phone didn't work, BECAUSE MY PHOEN STILL DOESN'T BOOT CORRECTLY :/
(Sorry, not shouting at you...just let stuff out) ^^
Okay, I'm stuck with partitioning. Currently my Bootloader-Menu shows me that I have HBOOT 6.93-1002. Should I go to http://alpharev.nl/ and rename that
PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip to PB99IMG.zip and boot the device? What is this bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img?
I'm so sorry, but I think I messed everything up. Arrrgh

cm7r2 hboot is a different phone memory layout. Stock hboot has 250 mb system, cm7r2 has less system alocated memory, for smaller roms, and gives you more data space.
If you want to patition your sd-card, install 4ext recovery.

Use 4ext recovery for partitioning

Yes, I want to do that (even with 4ext recovery). My questions herefor is, if
1) this is within the correct sequence (since I still doesn't have the mildwild cm7 custom ROM installed yet)
2) how I do it with 4ext? do I need to rename the files given at http://alpharev.nl/ ?
3) when I successfully partitioned the SD-card, how do I continue? There are 2 Parts of the mildwild cm7 custom rom...
Thx in advance
Edit: I did anything as suggested in the instructions (put it on SD-card, update yes, reboot no). Then I chose "Recovery" but nothing happens. THe phone is just stuck on the HTC-logo bootscreen :/
Edit 2: okay I followed abaaabbbs instructions in another thread/your sig and installed fastboot via adb. (See attch.)
Now I need to wait a while with battery removed since my phone doens't boot at all. I can only enter bootloader menu etc, but not regular boot to android on phone itself. always stuck with HTC-logo and/or vibrating 7 times , then rebooting to htc-logo again... :/

I am still stuck with 4ext (see my screenshot in my last post).
I can't tell if it worked. It seemed to work, but I can't boot any further than into the bootloader-menu :/
Shouldn't formatting take a while? It jsut took 1s via adb
MAybe I installed the wrong radio beforehand? I am so lost ...
Shouldn't my HBOOT say CM7r2 instead of 6.93.1002 ?
I can't enter recovery at all...
It booted...once. To the regular android menu...still it doesn't boot to recovery at all...should I re-install recovery? like CWM?

Yeah try and reinstall cwm, wat rom r u trying?

Sorry, I tried to answer that directly but as a new user I wasn't allowed to edit my prompt response for 5 minutes....
Oops, again
As above, I want to install mildwild cm7. I would prefer to isntall 4ext instead of CWM again....

Shouldn't I change HBOOT to cm7r2 first and make the partitions with 4ext first?
Or do I do it all in one step?
Edit: in one of the seldom times the phone actually booted to regular android, I installed the 4ext recovery again - this time via astro data manager (installed the 4ext-recovery-APK from SD-card). Well, when I enter the bootloader and chose "RECOVERY", it still is stuck at the HTC-Logo...
