Rogers dreams never had a sense update...
Can you go into hboot/fastboot (power on while holding camera) and tell us the hboot and radio version you see there.
And to confirm you can boot into android and either use su or rootshell to get root correct?
If you can boot into normal android (and have root) I would flash via Rom Manager App. Also, if you're able to get into fastboot you should be able to flash back to stock with the right files.

is it possible to switch to another custom recovery after I already got clockworks?
I tried unrevoked but its stuck in the reboot (I believe its trying to root my aria again)
not sure what youre trying to do.... i believe Clockwork is the only Recovery for rooted phones. if you want to flash a custom ROM, well that is something else altogether. please be specific as to what you want to flash to the phone. include a link to the flash too
I was trying to flash psfreedom recovery rom from here
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I believe the method on that website was for unrooted arias without clockworks

To flash a different custom recovery on your Aria, you need to rename the zip file LIBEIMG.ZIP on the SD card and boot in HBOOT (Power on the phone by holding down VOL DOWN and the Power Button). When it boots to the HBOOT screen you should see text stating that it found LIBEIMG.ZIP and is installing it.
awesome. now before I go ahead, is there any clockworkx recovery image I can revert back to?

I'm curious, what recovery are you talking about?
thanks for including the link. the instructions are clear.... Root IS required, Clockwork recovery is recommended, the Freedom Aria flash appears to be a custom ROM.
once the phone is Rooted, boot into Recovery, make a Nandroid backup, and flash downloaded zip file from SD card.
if you need help Rooting, there is all sorts of good methods available on this site. I use the Unrevoked method myself, but it works best on Linux or Mac OS

hmm I think you are looking at the old method which is a custom rom
The new one is a custom recovery which brings me to the question as I dont think you can flash a custom recovery in the clockwork custom recovery.
its possible im looking at the wrong thing, but far as i can tell it states "Recovery Custom ROM" which is totally different from Custom Recovery ROM
From link posted above:
"Update can be installed in recovery mode in Psfreedom settings menu via Update (local) or Update (net) if you have configured your wifi connection. Put the file on your SDCARD and install it.

I have similar questions. I was trying to update my version of clockwork also using unrevoked again, but couldn't get it to work. I guess my questions are:
1. Is there any benefit in updating to a newer version of clockwork? My current version is 2.0.x.x and I believe the latest one is 2.5.0.4.
2. Will this same method work to do so? Can I rename the latest clockwork .zip file like this and get it updated?
I thought using the flash clockwork option in ROM Manager would do it, but it doesn't. If I reboot from ROM Manager it goes to the newer version, but if I reboot otherwise it goes to my original. The couple times I've used it, there appears to be maybe some different features/options in the newer one and I feel like I might be missing out on something!
What's the difference with this recovery?

These are probably two different things. once you got the recovery rom flashed you can upgrade it in recovery mode (hence its different from original clockwork recovery)
Ok bro, I didn't see much info about it so I'm gonna take your word for it.
@brswattt, far as I can tell this is " basically" used for jailbreaking the ps3.
@armyengineer;
you can use unrEVOked to flash the new recovery. if youre a Windows user, download the unrEVOked tool and run the .exe as Administrator. also make sure there are no conflicting s/w on the PC such as HTC Sync and you have all the drivers installed(HBoot, ADB drivers, etc.)

This still isn't working for me. Everything appears to go well at the start, then I get:
Waiting for root...(safe to restart if this doesn't work)
At which point the only way I can restart is to pull my battery. After doing so, it reboots and I get:
This was a triumph
It is not, however, any such thing. After another minute I get this:
Internal error: couldn't find misc.
So I've still got my original version of clockwork, 2.0.1.3, despite the fact that ROM Manager is telling me I have 2.5.0.1. I'm obviously missing something here.
BTW, if it matters I'm running CM 6.1.0

Although there is a ClockworkMod 2.5.0.4 version, I don't think it is for the Aria. According to ClockworkMod ROM Manager, 2.5.0.1 is the most current one for the Aria so I am believing what ROM Manager is telling me since it is written by the same the vendor.
I have tried CM 6.1.0
original HTC Aria 2.1 International Rom
and FR001 RC1
all no go. I think it has something to do with the phone already been rooted and has clockworks installed which makes unrevoked unhappy

OK, let's start from the beginning. You asked about installing an alternate recovery (PSFreedom recovery), but apparently it has its own installation procedure that needs to be run on an unrooted Aria.
What you need is to find just the PSFreedom recovery and copy it to your SD called in a file called LIBEIMG.ZIP and that is how you need to install it on a root phone that has ClockworkMod. Perhaps you need to go back to the PSFreedom thread and ask if a LIBEIMG.ZIP can be produced that can be flashed from HBOOT to replace ClockworkMod.
Looks like everything you need is located in the PSFreedom wiki:
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I got a recovery.bin which is suppose to be used with unrevoked.
are you talking about the same one if I just compress it into a zip file?
Well, I tried flashing CM7 Alpha #39 after getting Clockwork 3.0.0.1 and kept getting stuck on a boot loop. I went back to stock and flashed build #40 and now my Mytouch is stuck on the screen showing "T-Mobile Mytouch 4g" I've tried everything even flashing back to the first nanroid I made and nothing. I've waited for over 16 minutes and it hasn't gone past that screen. Does anyone have any clue what I should do? I'm not going to sleep till I fix it.....
you should try to update the clockwork to a higher version
U need cw recoveries 2.x exp. 2.512 to flash anything 2.2 n the 3.x r ONLY used for gingerbreads...u cant go back 2 stock on gingerbread recoveries so flash the 2.x...hope that helps...im tired hope u can understand me
Is that possible with me only having access to the hboot screen and he recovery screen?
From hboot you should be able to get into fastboot. With fastboot you can flash recoveries, nandroids, and images all via adb.
What would be the 2.x I need? I kind of got how to do adb I just don't know what file I need to use.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to read it twice two get it, but once I did I knew what to do. I got to be more careful.
How were you able to download and install ClockworkMod 3.x? When I installed it via ROM Manager, it automatically installed 2.x without an option for anything newer.

U have to do it thru fastboot or terminal on your phone, but I could never get it to work on my phone. Flashed easily thru fastboot for me.

Yes fastboot is very simple to use as long as you have your adb set up correctly.
1.Place the recovery.img in the "tools" folder of sdk
2. Navigate to sdk-tools folder, open command prompt here
3. Reboot into fastboot/bootloader (either through adb or holding power down and volume down)
4. Fastboot devices, and flash the recovery.... basic steps
Thanks, but I know how to install recovery images. I was asking where you downloaded the 3.x version of ClockworkMod.
i have cm7 rom and in rom manager it has a flash clockwork recovery option. is this the same as updating it? if not how exactly do i update it and what is the latest update?
If you upgrade the recovery through ROM Manager, it will not stick. Once you turn the phone off and back on you'll be back to the version that Unrevoked puts on your phone (2.5.0.1).
There is a way to do it, but there really is no reason to bother. There's nothing wrong with 2.5.0.1 so my recommendation is just leave it be.
You have to unroot back to 2.1 stock.then run unrevoked again to push a new recovery.its a little different for a specific recovery.have to run unrevoked without the phone connected to choose what recovery version to load.search the forums there is more specific directions.

I'm really at a stage now where i wanna just throw my htc desire hd at the wall!!!! I am trying to just install a custom firmware, not much to ask considering the mammoth amount of hacking you have to do to even downgrade the firmware. I have done absolutley everything that needs to be done to root this device, i have downgraded the firmware i have rooted it, switched off eng s-off and radio s-off i have full root acess with terminal emulator, i put the update zip on the sd card it says something about installation invalid thats because first time i did not disable radio s-off then it went slightly further but then said some other error i have tried everything, i tried rom manager and selected reboot in recovery mode but now it just makes the phone freeze on the htc boot screen when selecting recovery from the boot menu, can someone please please help, how hard can it be just to install coredroids firmware, why can't it just be as easy as the pd98img firmware
help much apprieciated
clockworkmod recovery works fine. Something has just gone wrong with your installation.
To avoid complications later on, you haven't "switched off ENG S_OFF" you've made made S-ON S-OFF and added ENG S-OFF.
You talk about update.zip, is this for a ROM (CoreDroid?)? Which ROM? Did it tell you to rename it to update.zip? If a ROM then it had nothing to do with Radio S-OFF as you only need that for flashing radio.img files and if it was a radio you were trying to push you should use fastboot not recovery. Are you using the right version of recovery (it's very specific about the version required)?
When everything has been installed correctly and instructions followed it is VERY easy to install coredroid's ROM.
hi thanks for the reply, i just follwed the instructions for installing a custom rom as it asks u to chang it to s-off but the guide also says you need to install the update.zip for clockworkmod to get to choose the custom flash rom you want to use but all i get when i select update.zip from the recovery menu is e:signature verification failed installation aborted
Ok, they don't make it very clear do they?
Have you got ROM Manager installed?
Have you got clockworkmod recovery installed? If so what version is it. If not then use ROM Manager to flash it and flash 2.5.1.3 version (as that what it says).
Get the above. Then let me know.
hi mate its version 4.2.0.2 if i select flash clockworkmod recovery it completly causes the recovery menu in bootloader to just hang on the htc startup screen

Sorry, I meant recovery version but it looks like you still need to do that.
In that case push the recovery.img file (grab from the Coredroid thread) using fastboot.
Normally issues are because people miss things but you've confirmed you have ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF and root.
ok i tried running this image file in fastboot from this thread http://android.modaco.com/content/z...led-tft-30-nov-2-5-1-3-clockworkmod-recovery/
its written ok but when i select recovery from bootloader it just hangs on the htc startup screen grrr this is just impossible.
That's not for the desire HD.
Grab a 3.x.x.x version from clockwork 3.0.2.8 thread and try that (you can downgrade easily once we got something working).

Hi folks im trying to get my google nexus 7 to reboot into recovery mode but no matter what i do it just wont work, i have tried using adb and then using the command "adb reboot recovery" but when it goes to holding down power button and higher volume button ( I have tried other combinations too) nothing happens, it just seems to reboot. Does anybody have a way around this ? Seriously frustrating.
Unfortunately the new bootloader doesn't work correctly on your device. You have to replace the bootloader with the one from the previous version 3.34
I had rooted and installed CWM recovery early on. I installed Rom Manager (free version) and opened it and Flashed Clockwork Recovery. From then on and now with 4.1.2 installed, I can choose Reboot into Recovery from Rom Manager and I go right to CWM recovery. That's what I did to install 4.1.2 after installing Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. I updated successfully and kept root through the update. I never had to do anything like replacing the bootloader with an earlier version.
Ditto, I got bored waiting for the ota to kick in. Just downloading the update from Google dev then flashing with CWR I just said yes to the don't install new boot loader and retain root worked seamlessly!
