Recovery Mode doesn't work

Hi guys,
first sorry for my bad english.
I have a big problem to face with my N1
I wish to install a custom ROM, so I've rooted my phone and downloaded the Rom Manager apps from Market. I've flashed the clockwork recovery and downloaded the cyanogenmod. So I reboot my phone in fastboot mode, select recovery and now I have a black screen, nothing happens. My phone boot only when I take off the battery, so now I have no Recovery mode in my phone. Someone can help me please ?
I've already tryed to flash the original recovery and AmonRA recovery (1.7.0 and 1.8.0) from my PC but it fails everytime and I have this message => FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
My N1 is in FRF91 build, with a Vodafone ROM from France (SFR)
The recovery is dependant on which screen you have. You've possibly flashed an incompatible recovery...
Which screen do you have?
How are you flashing your recovery?

Is the USB cable plugged in AT ALL? I keep hearing Clockwork is unstable if it is.
I stick with Amon myself.

I have an SLCD screen and i've tryed all clockwork recoveries featured in Rom Manager app and the latest AmonRA ( 1.8.0 )
But the problem is when i try to flash it with my PC by connecting the phone in fastboot mode, i allways have this message : FAILED (remote: signature verify fail) which means I can't flash any recovery :s
Do you know what is the problem ?
Sounds like you flashed an incompatible recovery. You're heading in the right direction with Amon-Ra 1.8.0...
How are you flashing the recovery? (Since your current recovery has a black screen, are you using adb, trying to do it through Clockworkmod, etc?)

Yeah i've tryed to flash the latest clockwork recovery with Rom Manager, it works, i mean i can flash it this way but i have the same result : black screen. And flashing it with my PC using - fastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img - code give me the failure message that i talk about on my last post
I've read a few posts about 1.8.0 failing with Clockworkmod, and I believe the adb and terminal methods require an unlocked bootloader. There are a few methods to flash custom recoveries without unlocking the bootloader (I still have a locked bootloader). Do a search, find one you like, and give it a try. Clockworkmod is one of those methods, but again, I've read problems with the 1.8.0 recovery on Clockworkmod...

thanks a lot for helping me by sending this link but as I said before, unfortunately I can't flash the recovery even with my PC, the only solution seems to make a bootloader unlocking, but I don't want to loose the warranty, i'll check other ways to do this without unlocking my bootloader, if someone know how to do this, i'll be thankful.
The link also discusses how to flash without unlocking the bootloader, which is why I sent it... (see posts from September 27)

Yes but see what hapen when I try it =>
The locked bootloader discussion points to this, which suggests using terminal emulator from your phone...

thanks, I'm trying it immediately
...but with 1.8.0
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Sure ? Not with 1.8.0.1 ? Because I have an SLCD screen
I meant 1.8x instead of the 1.7x they mention in the write up...
Also, you can ignore my comment about using terminal emulator, and use adb if you want (long day, and I'm tired)

I surrender, it doesn't work, and I'm tired of trying flashing a recovery. It means no custom ROM for me :'(
Take a break, and come back to it tomorrow...

Hi, so my build number is FRF91, I bought it from SFR (Vodafone)

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.

Clockworkmod does not work!!!

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).

Problems with custom recovery

Can anyone help me with a problem? Some weeks ago I installed Yoshi's rom but then I returned to the original froyo. After that I lost my recovery (clockwork mod 2.5) and now when I try to reinstall it via Rom Manager my phon get stuck on vodafone logo after the reboot. How can I figure it out? Please help me because it's important for me to have a custom recovery!

Use my guide found in my signature to install custom recover (maybe root first).

His Magic is 32B. That recovery image is for 32A Magic. Soldiaz,try with flash rec. After you make a recovery image,push flash cyanogen recovery image 1.4 (I guess is correct)
