Use another recovery...

Do the steps in the guide in my signature for the right recovery...
Just jump the universal androot part.

Adb not working ?

Hi guys i have a HTC Magic that is rooted with custom recovery from mumilovers guide
and now i changed my hboot from HBOOT-1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)
to 1.76.2007 from another person who gave me a zip to put on so i can run roms ...
i am running a 2.1 sense rom now it won't see my phone while its on debugging i tried diff methods like turning it off turning the phone on then enabling before putting the usb it doesn't work
i would like to use psfreedom but this is really getting in the way.. or else is there another way i could flash recover on the phone itself with the recovery img
btw if any of you know can i use the newest psfreedom he just released on the latest firmware?

The 1.76.2007 is actually from the HTC Hero...
Just download the newest HTC sync, it will have the right drivers..
Make sure to remove all drivers first!
It should fix your problems....
Do also have troubles with fastboot?

You can also do the same steps from my guide to flash the psfreedom recovery...
There is no need for usb connection if you just manually put the recovery on the sdcard!

[Q] How to get stock recovery back for rooted wildfire ?

Hello mates,
I have a rooted wildfire with Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2. My recovery image is the Clockwork Recovery.
I want to load the Stock Froyo, now that app2SD is possible without root.
(App2sd is the only reason rooted).
I tried flashing the RUUxxxxx.exe file ,but got the error cannot upgrade your phone.
I found that signing key of the custom recovery is the causing the problem and that I have to get the Stock Recovery. And only then I will be able to run the RUUxxxx.exe file for Stock Froyo 2.2.
Can anyone tell me how I can do it ?
It will be of great help if any one can share an original "recovery.img" .
Also I am having trouble with fastboot becuase I have S-ON in bootloader.

Make a gold card. Flash stock RUU. Flash 2.2 RUU. Done! Look up a guide of making goldcard on xda or modaco.

So you dont need the root anymore?
Then you should download from shipped-roms.com a WWE that is eclair run the .exe on ur pc and when its done go to (in ur phone) to the updates section and OTA upgrade to non-rooted official froyo!
(Htc Buzz:wildfire WWE is under the windows mobile section for some reason xD)

[Q] hboot 1.01 "can not roll back"

hi guys (espacially FeaRThiS),
i followed the guide for downgrading/rooting the legend. goldcard is on and it is rooted (when i start adb shell i get "#" without su). but after copying testimage.zip and renaming it to LEGEIMG.zip, i get after rebooting the message "can not roll back hboot version".
at this point:
hboot 1.01.0000
firmware 2.1
software 1.31.405.4
i did the whole procedure once before but the rom-manager (clockwordmod) did nothing, no sd-card partioning, no rom-installation...
anyone with the same problem? any solution?
thx...

Try this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845512
(section "Already OTA updated with HBOOT 1.00")
It contains also flashing of the misc partition that comes with the downgrade hack (Hack 4 Legend v5)
GL

For now nobody has found a way to downgrade HBOOT version 1.01. So this is impossible at the moment.

first: thanks fo the replys.
@amoskas
i followed exactly that guide. after "adb reboot bootloader" and flashing with the LEGEIMG.zip, clockworkmod does nothing. whatever i click, install rom from sd, download rom, partitionind sd... absolutly nothing. cwm-recovery was installed. but when i start recovery from boot-menu i only get the blue recovery-menu 2e.
@qzem
maybe youre right!

CWM doesn't suppose to do anything here. LEGEIMG.zip is RUU zip which has nothing to do with CWM, it is to be recognized and picked directly by bootloader. If it isn't, I guess your problem is that bootloader doesn't see it on your SD card. There are two, possible reasons why... one is your SD card isn't detected by bootloader and two, your SD card isn't formatted as FAT32.

hi BlaY0,
is it possible to check even the bootloader is detecting my sd-card?
i formated the sd with my phone and checked it with my computer now: it is fat32
thx...
edit: LEGEIMG.zip was picked. after loading and checking, while updating it said "can not roll back hboot version". the rest were updatet.
question: what kind of sd-card are supported?

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i will write a little guide soon....

Got the same error during update with this manual. Waiting for you solution.

i didnt understand what u have did and what ur error is.
but i can say onething confidentially, which is
IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR AN UNROOTED PHONE TO DOWNGRADE ITS HBOOT.
i mean to say is by keeping a downgraded version of LEGEIMG.ZIP and flashing HBOOT from that wont be possible. correct me if im wrong

At this moment I've got firmware ver 2.1 build 1.31.405.4, flashed from testimage.zip (renamed to LEGEIMG.zip) of r4-legend-root, non working ROM Manager (doesn't reboot/backup), saying that CWM Recovery 2.5.0.7 installed (but it seems to be inaccessable) and HBOOT 1.01, with "can not roll back" error. Phone seems to be rooted, adb shell get # shell.
What should I do further ?

Fixed a bit and executed step2 from r4-legend-root, flashed CM from SD.
Thanks.

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).
