Having trouble installing clockwork recovery - Wildfire General

My phone was made s-off via xtc clip.
It's rooted with superoneclick (couldn't get unrevoked to work).
ROM Manager is in the superuser list and has been granted root access.
In ROM Manager I click "flash clockworkmod recovery", select "HTC Buzz (Wildfire)" and it says "successfully downloaded clockworkmod recovery".
But every time I click "reboot into recovery" I just get a black screen with a phone in the middle and a red triangle.
I then have to remove the battery to get the phone back on.
Any ideas folks ?

I read somewhere that the current version of ROM manager doesn't work with Android 2.2.
Is this right ?
I tried an older version and it appeared to try and install clockwork recovery for a few seconds then I got a black screen with a phone and a red question mark.

try flashing custom recovery with PC49IMG process. get the file from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15

and one more thing, if u get issues with flashing custom roms then try to use different version of recovery.
issues like amend scripting.......

Thanks for the reply.
I tried putting the PC49IMG.zip file in the root of the sd card but when I go into HBOOT it says ....
CID incorrect !
Update Fail !
Do I need to do a factory reset ?

CID error after making S-OFF huh ?
U do have another option. Can try an official RUU of ur region with the radio Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25
this gives u hboot 0.80 . Then u can root the phone with unrevoked (use version 3.2).

Would this be ok ?

The one specific for ur region (if it is there) is more preferable. However it will also be ok.
And better get it from shipped roms website if u havent started the download yet.

Thanks for the list.
So, is it just a case of running the exe with my phone connected ?

Yes certainly. Connect the phone under charge mode.

No luck.
Got a "customer id error" in the Windows program.

Sorry, cant go further. That might be due to region. I think there might be ur region RUU in that website there. Don't know completely to solve cid errors. Probably a gold card might be the solution.
But there are solutions for cid errors. Go with this thread (same one as earlier), it might help u. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993102

Thanks again for all your help so far, much appreciated.
I found a multi region RUU with the same kernel as the one I'm on.
Do you think flashing this will allow me to then flash one of the older RUUs ?
Also, if I do this will it make my phone s-on again ?

When ur phone has S-OFF (by xtc clip) u can flash any wildfire RUU of ur region (i mean downgrading hboot is also possible). Yes u can flash older RUU also, that's what u attempted to do with that WWE ruu.
Once u do S-OFF by xtc clip, then u can't get back to S-ON in any way. XTC clip directly wipes off the secure flag in the radio NVRAM. So, AFAIK, there is no way for u (by xtc clip) to get back to S-ON even when u flash an updated hboot.
But alpharev2 (not yet released for wildfire) will patch the hboot to make it think that the secure flag is off. So, if done by alpharev S-OFF is not permanent. When done S-OFF with alpharev, then if u flash an updated hboot, the phone returns to S-ON. This is not the case with u.

Tried the RUU with the same kernel that's on my phone but got the "customer ID error" again.
I'm starting to think something went wrong when they used the xtc clip.
When I get the red triangle in HBOOT, if I press vol up + power I get the message "failed to verify signature".
I thought having s-off was supposed to bypass the signature checks

AFAIK, after S-OFF it should skip the signature check. That is how we can flash the custom recovery through PC49IMG process.
There is a full guide of XTC clip rooting in the development section. If u think something went wrong when they used xtc clip, u might get an answer there. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057524
And also one more link to what we can do after S-OFF here.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13025129&postcount=3
In that try the fastboot flash recovery command. May be a hope

Woo hoo, success !!
I made a goldcard and the RUU installed fine.
I now have Android 2.1 and HBOOT 0.80.0007.
I guess the goldcard is where I was going wrong.
Edit : Just got unrevoked to work first time too.

And now I've got CM7 installed !!!
A very happy bunny.
Many thanks again for the help and advice.
Wouldn't have got it working without this forum.

That's fine.

Can not boot or reflash HTC Magic 32A after flashing Rogers 2.1 over CM froyo (1.33.)

Hi
I have the following problem:
I've tested FroyoRedux Mod v1.9.5 with the requested radio and hboot. After that I've tried to install the original stock ROGERS 2.1 ROM. Now, the problems appeared. somehow I'm stack with the
1.76.0010 hboot, with security ON
Radio 3.22.20.17 (which should be 6.35.xx.xx) after flashing (don't ask why the update didn't take place because there was no error)
and the phone hangs at the ROGERS screen (just before start loading android).
I've tried reflash SAPPIMG from flashboot but it detects is already there and won't flash. I can not use fastboot from computer because security is ON, i don't have recovery installed because ROGERS rom took it away.
Any ideas on how I can fix this mess?
UPDATE: After reading tons of forum pots, seems I have found the source of the problem and seems that became a common issue: I've installed Rogers 2.1 manually over CM custom ROM with froyo (SPL 1.33.xxxx and RADIO 3.22.xx.xx) without knowing that Rogers will not update both RADIO and SPL.
Now all of us who did this need a solution. Anyone has an ideea?
Thanks

Hi, Yes, I've instaled Rogers 2.1 but not from RUU but from fastboot with SAPPIMG.zip
and u installed hboot from the ruu?
i think u must make a gold card... but wait for the experts
When I've installed the SAPPIMG using a goldcard, it automatically overwiten hboot, recovery and radio.
BTW: if I've formatted the goldcard, how can I create a new one now that i don't have a linux pc and i can only enter fastboot.
Thanks

sorry, i was reading in development and post the thread here from mistake
any solution please?
Now I can access teh memoy card again. Please give me a solution using RUU. Maybe a valid RUU which works on all devices because when I've tried to flash a RUU it sais whong RUU version and I must get another one.
No one can help?
http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh
Try flashing the above.... using a goldcard and from fastboot/hboot.
Thank you for answering
I will try now
I've tried it but it say "Main Version is older". Can you tell me how can I fix that or how to make a SAPPIMG.nbh file with Rogers update or even android 2.2. Or do you have such thing?
Thanks a lot.
Anyone with a solution please !?!?
Got your PM... normally i don't respond help request over pm, but i'll make an exception.
You need to redo your goldcard... all the errors you get points to a faulty goldcard.
You can post/pm the cid nr you get from the htc device + the reverse nr. you used to make the goldcard... then i can verify that you have done it correctly.
You should have made it work with the sappimg.img i have provided earlier....
All points to a bad made goldcard!
Thanks so much for your reply.
So, Let's get started . My SD CID is
035344535530324780109ac8ee0093aa
After using http://hexrev.soaa.me/
My reversed CID is
009300eec89a10804732305553445303
(first two zeros already present)
Now, I've used this code here http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
and get the goldcard in the attachment.
Can you check please?
Thanks a lot
Well all ok from here.
The only thing left is how you made the hex-changes to the goldcard...
Which guide did you follow?
Read your pm!
i have exactely the same problem so when you get the solution can post it please !!!
Sure I will
Try this...
http://rapidshare.com/files/424005789/sappimg.zip
Put it on the goldcard and reboot by holding volume_down + power.
Then let it work...
Make sure there is nothing else on the goldcard!
Do not rename or anything.
This sappimg.zip is the new rogers 2.1 update... it should work :0)
Please report back :0)

[Q] Getting Wildfire to Diag Mode Without PC49Diag.nbh

Is there a way we get into daig mode without the pc49diag.nbh file so that we can clear the security flag?
Its just a idea i have and a question.
I found a pc49diag.zip file but that was a rom.zip renamed and it booted from hboot without the use of a goldcard. As with the gold card it wouldn't even load the files.
Idea being if we can get diag mode just like how the XTC Rebel clip does then it might be a better way without the £150+ price tag if its for one phone.
Hi,
Please format your SD and uncompress from the zip attached.
Boot with power+volume down, after a few seconds it will "jump into DIAG" and boot the P49diag.nbh, select power, it will fail, press the dial, it will say "Waiting for Radio Ready" then you can clean S58 Data (I guess simlock and S flag).
Now this works on my device but it may not work on yours. Then PC49diag.nbh seems to be signed, it may have been leaked from HTC. If it was created by XTC Clip in a device specific way then the HTC private signing keys were leaked as well, doubtful but who knows.
Let me know how it works out for you.
Sorry, forgot the attachment. Here it is.
I tried this with the XTC clip version and it didn't clear any flags just error att'd! will try though!

Thanks for the info. It's wierd that the XTC Clip didn't work on your Buzz. What error message did you get exactly? Did you get to the "Waiting for the Radio" message?
no the XTC Clip worked but the diag file will not work without the clip or it shouldn't i just ran the file without the clip and it just removed S-On which is strange.
So here is the question where did you get the file from if its from the XTC clip then you might get some stick for releasing that file out.

Hi,
Thanks, what do you mean by "removed S-On"? Did you get to the "clean S58 data" menu? Was your phone S-OFF and did you switch to S-ON?
If you managed to get to the menu without the fake SIM attached, then no SIM vulnerability is being exploited and this is just the engineering bootloader being loaded, and somehow it has access to DIAG mode on the radio and can modify NVRAM. Which shouldn't normally happen without some kind of signature verification, in which case either HTC (or Qualcomm?!) screwed up, or their signing keys got leaked.
It's about time someone had the balls to release this file.
Didn't work for me personally (well it booted into diag mode but S-off failed with a timeout).
However I did gain some useful info for my own project I've been working on.
Thank you very much, have searched high and low for this.
TOP MARKS TO THIS MAN.
P.S anybody know anything about cold boot flags?
When you say press the dial, what do you actually mean.

it was S-On but on Hboot 0.80 so not sure fully.
well I tried it and yes I could get into diag mode and go all the way to the end but I got an error and could not get rid of s-on. Maybe there is something else we need to add. Did anybody try to flash a custom rom with an older hboot when in the diag mode?

And please don't thank me, thank whoever leaked the file from HTC. I merely posted it whatever was on my SD card.
Other people who used the XTC Clip: please post your PC49DIAG.nbh here so we can compare the difference (if any).
My HBOOT in an old one, from May 2010, afaik. It may have been downgraded by unrevoked3. Version 08.0002 iirc. Not changed by the switch to S-OFF, of course.
I'm trying to use the file on hboot 1.01.0001/S-ON/Stock 2.2.1(2.22.405.1 WWE) and it does not work (wrong image error).
Any ideas?

Hey,
Thanks to everyone for trying it. The PC49DIAG.nbh must be customized by the XTC Clip in some way, so that it becomes device-specific and will not work on other devices. Since it *seems* to be signed, this could mean that HTC's private signing key leaked and are somewhere inside the XTC Clip itself. So making a software version of the XTC Clip will be a matter of extracting the keys or whatever firmware is inside the clip.
If someone else who turned their wildfire to S-OFF could post their PC49DIAG.nbh, that would be very helpful. It may not give the solution immediately, I guess we'd need to investigate more. Also "rtask C" (aka talk to the radio) looks like a promising path, but I couldn't get it working yet.
I've found a file called pc49diag.rar on a chinese forum but I cannot register to download it.

and the link for the file...

Despite the name, it lacks the nbh file -- just a recovery (and the zip is not signed, obviously you can't flash it since you're S-ON).
I found another link, PC49diag.zip 128MB file but it's actuelly just another stock ROM. This one is signed, but DO NOT FLASH IT, it will update everything (radio, recovery, hboot etc.).

UPDATE: I made a goldcard, and tried the procedure again. But this time I could not get into the DIAG mode at all.. So if you have a goldcard in your SD slot, that maybe the reason for not working in your case.

Hi,
Thanks for trying this. A couple question:
- could you write down the exact error message after you ran clean S58 data?
- can you try the "Device Info" menu? Does it work?
- can you try the Flash menu (power button before it waits for the radio) with an unsigned update.zip on your SD? For example the one that flashes a recovery (see mediafire link above)

Yeah, it is known. The fact why is now important the XTC Clip is not for doing gold card. It is important because it is needed to unlock the upgraded 1.01.xxx hboot of the Froyo 2.2 HTC official update, which made Wildfire unrootable if you upgraded or recently bought the phone.
but, if i flash recovery with PC49IMG with goldcard and then flash Safe Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1 Rooted.zip ?
does it turn hboot to s-off or not? this is my question

Click to collapse
Everything has been already tried. And the answer is no. This Safe Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1 Rooted.zip is the ROM extracted from the RUU, but the hboot has been deleted so it is not upgraded. Nothing else, it doesn't change the hboot.
With hboot 1.01.xxx you won't be able to do anything that touches the hboot, not even with GoldCard.
ok, thanks for help
but, i've just have 1 question too then how alpharev makes it work ?

S-ON checks the signature of the files to be updated.
It is not possible to flash a custom recovery through pc49img process when on S-ON. And gold card cannot skip the signature check. Gold card is just useful for carrier locked phones.

Alpharev won't actually turn off the secure flag in the radio NVRAM like xtc clip does. Alpharev overwrites the stock hboot with a patched hboot to make the hboot think that the secure flag is off. So, it will not actually target the secure flag (which is not located on the hboot)
Can anyone explain to me understandably why should we make gold card , what is it for? My english is very bad so when I googled it, I couldn't understand what is it for

GoldCard is a special SD card which, when inserted into your device, allows you to flash RUU files with a different CID to your own device. For example, if you own a T-Mobile branded device, this will allow you to flash a generic ROM.
And little more clearly.
Special sdcard means u donot need to buy a new sdcard. Gold card is an sdcard patched with a 1 KB file specific to ur device. And that specific file depends on ur device serial number. And some reported that the gold card made with the stock sdcard on wildfire will not work.
Correct me if I'm wrong...

your CWM Recovery didn't flash successfully. Next time don't pull your battery press volume down and hold then press power button. it will show you a menu that allows you to reboot your DHD.
Try to reboot your DHD holding the volume down button until the boot loader appears. chech that the first line has something that says
ENG S-OFF or in my case the whole line was
ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
then reboot the phone and flash recovery I believe you have to have Radio S-OFF to be able to flash recovery.
did you use the one-click easy S-OFF and one-click Radio S-OFF tool. if not try to search for this in the forums. I believe they are by jkoljo. This worked for me like a charm. happy ROM-ming.
I rooted DHD any shiprom. No need to downgrade...
I think u flashed successfully the cwm.. why do u want to install custom Rom by traditional method just go to Rom manager from there download ur Rom and click on it.. Rom manager ll do the job for u ... K.I.S.S.

CWM has a different logo I think it is/was an android guy on a skateboard. whereas stock recovery is a triangle with exclamation point inside. So it means something went wrong when he flashed his CWM and would lead me to believe that his S-OFF process went awry. So checking S-OFF is easy. Reboot to bootloader and the info is on the first line.

Not rooted Wildfire stuck in bootloop - need help

I got my sisters Wildfire here and it's stuck in a bootloop.
It is NOT rooted, has no S-Off and so on.
It has the stock rom.
It didn't run fluently, so I just rebooted it. But since then it doesn't boot.
Tried taking out battery, putting it back in, no success.
Tried taking out SD-Card. no success.
Then I booted into Bootloader (Vol + Power down).
Buzz PVT Ship S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELCO 3_16ac
RADIO-3.35.20.10
All I get to choose is Fastboot, Recovery, Clear storage and Sim-lock.
Recovery turns out to be nothing, I can't get to it. Might be, because there is no CWM on it.
I was lucky to be able to root and s-off my DHD, so I don't have any idea, how to fix this problem with the Wildfire.
Any suggestions how to solve this little problem?
Thanks in advance
Which method u adopted for rooting....try revolutionary method and u will be s-on....bt ur mobile doesn't on....try to intall ruu which can be downloaded from shipped-roms.com,download wwe version file....run it,it will install stock rom again,then enable debugging mode,goto revolutionary.io fill the form and copy generated alphanumeric code carefully and download the file run it and u will get s-on....

Would "RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_s
igned.exe" be the right one?
And if, what to do next with it?
Thanks in advance
- Extract the Rom.zip from the RUU you listed. Procedure here:
http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
- Rename this zip to PC49IMG.zip
- Place this on the root of the sd card
- Reboot in HBoot mode, the phone will detect the file and will attempt to install. Select Yes and let it proceed.
Thanks, I'll do that when I'm done in University :-D
Just so I have more opportunities in case this happens again.
Could you give me a link to a instruction how to root and s-off?
This would help
And, just in case, which do you think is the best Custom Rom for the Wildfire?
You can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF and Clockworkmod Recovery. Guide here:
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html
The only thing that has changed is AlphaRev's Website. The new address is revolutionary.io. Everything else remains the same. Although, you will need a booting device to get it to work.
Lastly, ROM choice depends on whether one would like to keep HTC Sense or not. If not, then I would go with Cyanogenmod / Oxygen (Two ROMs I am pretty sure are available for the DHD as well). And, if you would like to keep HTC Sense, then the current favorites are DK Custom ROM and RemPuzzleROM.
Complete Listing available in the Index Thread linked in my Sig.
Good Luck
I only want to flash a ROM on the Wildfire. My dhd runs on arhd and I won't change that well, unless there's a newer version of arhd
Anyways, what is the best sense ROM
for the Wildfire? Should run smooth but stable and fast. And of course it should've good battery life

I'm stuck myself. Wildfire is working again, but neither can I root nor can I make S-OFF.
On AlphaRevX it "sends in Caroline" and "Caroline" comes out with an error report
However, USB-Debugging was turned on, SD Card active, connected to pc, but "only charge"...
That far for S-Off...
Then I'm trying unrevoked. Works so far, until the Wildifre is in the bootloader. Unrevoked tells me, it's waiting for bootloader. When I choose Fastboot on the device, unrevoked works on and tells me "Waiting for HBOOT to be ready..."
Nothing happens after that. If I choose Bootloader on the device, unrevoked tells me, that it has lost connection to the phone.
Then I tried Gingerbreak. Gingerbreak works, reboots the phone, I check for SU and can't find it. So I guess it's not rooted then :-/
Any suggestions?
Your only (free) option is Revolutionary on Wildfire's with official 2.2.1 and HBoot 1.01.x. Any other method (Unrevoked, Gingerbreak, SuperOneClick etc) will not work and will result in failure. Errors on Revolutionary can usually be treated EXCEPT when it says "Not writing bad block at mtd 0x00000", in which case, there are bad blocks on the NAND memory, and there is no fix yet.
The paid option is to find a store with an XTC Clip hardware box, which can S-OFF the Wildfire as well. They will charge you a 1-time fee for using it.

So since this is exactly the fault that is displayed, there is nothing I can do...
But this other tool for s-off ain't working either. If I'd have at least s-off...in this tutorials I first make s-off and afterwards there is a zip archive which will give me SU. Can I install cwm without Root? I'd really like to flash cyanogen...

No, unfortunately, as I stated in my previous post, you cannot.
The best option will be revolutionary but solve ur first problem and then move on to this...we r always here....
