This will be pretty difficult. I presume you mean you installed it (despite the huge numbers of warnings here and on other sites).
I think you'll need to see if fastboot still works (it most definitely won't ) and see if flashrec works (which it likely won't). Failing that, we may need some rooters to find a flaw to crack it.
If fastboot works, we can use superboot to sort it out
flashrec does not work and fastboot does not work, finally it works, but you can not install a recovery from fastboot
does goldcard still work to downgrade the firmware?
the Goldcard does not work either because it is 2.1
what does "it finally works"? Did u mean flashrec can be run in htc hero 2.1?

I wanted to say that its not working (fastboot) and does not also flashrec
So, by that means who want to have Custom ROM Later they shouldn't Flash Official android 2.1 Update ? Because they will loose root & can not get it back ? Right ? can't flash recovery, means can't install Custom ROM
Did you try AmonRa - recovery ?
flashrec can be install or not ? if it can then try to flash using AmonRa .. if it works then can get recovery option i think .
flashrec can install but can not install a recovery it does not work
All Right Thanks bro .. now i don't want to install official 2.1
Maybe stupid question, but is it not possible to have 1.5 back using an old RUU
its not working
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).

If you can get into CWM, you only need two more steps now
1) mount /system
2) install zip from sd -> su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
Reboot and you are rooted.

Yes I follow the root technique of "hxxp://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/", and, like "vbobmac", my phone stock at google page.
After that, i try the "rootboot.img" who give "Si_NZ" to "vbobmac".
And, like him, after that when i boot, i can only boot into clockwork recovery, and i can't go into "bootloader" mode.
Can I make my rom at stock into clockwork recovery?
I hope, it's possible to unmake this mistake?
In the post "[ROM] Stock - 2.3.4 - GRJ22 - Deodexed w/radio for NS/NS4G", do i have to take a rom rooted or not? Because my phone is unlock, but not totally rooted i think.
Sorry for all those questions, but i'm a little lost. And i'm affraid to make an error who will kill my Nexus S.
Thank you a lot for your help, i wait your answer before doing anything.
Thank you again.
It's great to see people, who are ready to help directly.
Edit: Now I can boot in "bootloader" mode, but i try with ODIN to put back at stock my phone, but the computer (Windows 7) dont recognise the phSamsungone.
Even when I install PC Studio 3.
Do you now an other way to make my phone work? Root or at stock, doesn't matter. Just if he can live, it's good to me.

Can you access the sdcard to flash a rom? You can do that by going to clockwork recovery, then mounts and storage, then select mount USB storage, then on your PC go to my computer and press refresh until you see the phone storage appear, keep pressing refresh for atleast 5 minutes because sometimes it takes a while. Then download any rom rooted or unrooted and flash in clockwork recovery.
If you can't do that and you can use fastboot, I'll send you a system.img and boot.img to flash.

Do you have a rom 2.3.4 for Nexus i9023 please? Maybe i don't flash with a good rom?
Thanks again for your help.
I try again, to flash with the original 2.3.4, but the operation abort everytime.
Do i have an other choice for flashing my phone?
Mount the sdcard is working, copy files work too, and i can run the update.
But, the operation abort with a "statut 7".

And I think, i don't have the good bootloader.
My phone is a Nexus S i9023, but since i try to root my phone, my bootloader version is the "i9020XXKA3".
You think, i have to change the bootloader first?
For flashing bootloader and clocwork recovery, i have to do it from Windows?

I still have the same message:

Don't you think it's because my bootloader is not the good one?
Can flash it too, from Windows?
Didn't see this in General so thought it would be worth adding, especially since there have been many threads lately with new users wanting to root their phone and then getting scared of the guides.
Now there is also the option to go the official way to unlock the bootloader.

Not quite. It can probably explained more accurately but the gist of it is this:
An unlocked bootloader is what allows you to flash custom roms to your phone.
Root access simply grants you the rights to mess with your phones rom whichever way you want.

I thinks that's pretty much it, once you have unlocked your bootloader you'll be able to flash any custom rom you like. Though it'll probably a bit tricky on the first go since you don't have a custom recovery yet, so I believe you'd have to flash some pc10img.
Still it's commonly to believed to be the better choice to stick with the more exhausting solutions posted around here, since HTC will register your phone if you use their tool. At least for the time being they claim that by using their way, your warranty will be void.
I've unlocked my desire z through the htcdev.com website.
Bootloader is unlocked, S-on..
But I can't get a rom installed, it gave me an error while trying to update from the recovery mode (apply update zip) using a stock rom with root.
Akward..
So now I've unlocked my bootloader, but still can't change my rom..
Anyone know how to do it after you've unlocked the bootloader?
flash custom recovery first, from there flash the rom
if you're s-on, bootloader is still locked....

pretty annoying
I get unlock my bootloader today, and YES there is S-ON, but on the top is written in hboot menu big letters UNLOCKED (How you thinks, htcdev joke?).
I've installed clockworkmod using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery clockwork_mod_for_vision.img
Then put off battery and turn on phone with volume down + power, I pressed 'recovery' menu option. Clockworkmod runs correctly. Then tried last stable CyanogenMod 7.1.0, flash was done without errors, I wiped out what's need (cache, data). Next I tried run phone, but freezes at splash (green htc letters on white background).
I tried also miui mod, but Ive got only MIUI splash screen nothing else.
Then I restored my htc from backup (done before flashing using clockworkmod) and Im still on the stock htc android 2.3.3.

1. boot to fastboot mode, flash a custom recovery (recommand ClockWorkMod), power down the phone.
2. put your downloaded update_cm7.xxx.zip into sdcard, boot phone into recovery
3. choose in the recovery, first "wipe data", then "install update from sdcard", choose the zip file you just put in.
4. choose "reboot system"
that's all to go.

Booting problem is mostly kernel related, do you have logcat output? (run "adb logcat" and boot the phone)
I encountered with the situation (w. another phone) that the recovery can't flush the boot partition during the recovery installation, I have to extract the boot.img file from the zip and flash it manually in the fastboot mode (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
EDIT:
That was a EVO3D with UNLOCKED HBOOT, I believe you're having the same situation, try my method or may others make out a better perfect solution ? (not my own phone, I just helped with its owner, no time to dig the details)

My friend has an officially unlocked Desire Z as well and I gave him these instructions to try it out, he has the same boot problem (stuck at splash screen). Maybe this information should either be stickied or added to a faq until there is a real solution to the problem (unlike this workaround), updated cwm or something like that.
Anyway thanks for sharing this information.
HTC bootloader unlock tool is quite restrictive. It still leaves you S-ON, so you won't be able to flash a new hboot or radios.
I recommend avoiding it and using the current well-proven methods from the XDA Wiki.
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
Its working now...
Steps I followed:
1. flash recovery using fastboot
2. Do a nandroid backup using recovery
3. flash boot.img using fastboot
4. reboot into recovery
5. wipe data/cache
5. install update for CM7, and gapps
Also make sure before doing any of these steps you have copied CM7 and gapps update onto sdcard.
Thanks everyone for helping out.
I am experimenting with this myself and I don't seem to be having the same issues flashing a boot.img from an update.zip in ClockworkMod recovery with the official HTC unlocked bootloader that others are having. Maybe it is the version of the recovery that is the issue? Which version is everyone trying to use? I am using the 3.xxxx version that is linked from the wiki. I have had other problems with the 5.xxx version and tend to stick with the older version for that reason anyways.
What:
the firmware.zip from hTC desire 816 dual sim A5_DUG CID:HTC__J15,HTC__001,HTC__A07 MID:0P9C70000 OTA update for Europe. (to check for your Device IDs, go to fastboot mode and type "fastboot getvar all")
Why:
users who update from Kitkat to Lollipop using TWRP/CWM backups instead of OTA, run into Wifi or touch problems because TWRP/CWM backups don't contain firmware updates. so by flashing this firmware, they can fix those issues. notice that your current ROM has to be 1.58.401.11 or 2.34.401.1. If you come from any other ROM, this file might not work properly or behave unexpectedly. of course you can try it at your own risk.
Where:
you can find the firmware.zip here (this naturally contains the stock 5.0.2. recovery, so if you need, you can extract it and get the stock recovery). you can also find proper OTA/TWRP/CWM Backups here.
How:
0- download firmware.zip and put it on the same folder as your platform tools (Adb/Fastboot) folder. a good source to get the minimal tools would be here.
1- Reboot your device to bootloader and choose fastboot (use power+volume down combination , or type "adb reboot bootloader" in console)
2- if you're S-On, you'll need to relock your bootloader. to do that, when in Fastboot, type "Fastboot oem lock". if you're S-off, you can skip the relocking part.
3- type "fastboot oem rebootRUU" to put the phone in firmware update mode. you'll see a silver hTC logo in the center of a black screen
4- type "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" in console and press enter. (*this will also write 5.0.2. stock recovery so you'll lose your custom recovery)
5- type the same "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" in console again.
6- type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to reboot.
7-now, in order to have root and install custom recovery(TWRP/CWM) for restoring a Lollipop backup, you'll have to unlock bootloader again. you can try putting your old Unlock_code.bin in platformTools folder and typing "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin". If that doesn't work, you'll have to go through the process of requesting a new Unlocktoken from htcDEV, which there are various guides for, around XDA.
8- Install TWRP again.
9- Now you can put your TWRP Lollipop backup on phone storage and restore it.
10- If all you need is to just install Stock recovery, download the firmware.zip and extract it. put the recovery.img file in your fastboot folder. then in fastboot mode, type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. be warned that after this, you will lose your custom recovery and will not be able to use twrp/cwm to backup/restore/flash files.
Who:
This is a continuation of the work done by our good user, 12rithy. you can find necessary firmware for A5_DWG and for S-OFF devices in that thread..
also, the firmware was extracted from OTA uploaded by another good user, crash6x86. If you need the OTA or TWRP/CWM backups of it, you can find them at its thread here.

I'm afraid that's not possible for me. Also, if you find the instructions too confusing or complex, I advise against tempering with your device because you may run into problems at any stage and it would require a degree of skill and persistence to overcome. It probably won't be worth the effort unless your main motive is to gain experience.
Still, If you've done this before (unlocked and rooted your device, worked with custom recoveries and custom Roms) and if your device is the Europe Dual sim a5_dug, I'll try to help if any part is unclear or if you run into any problems in the process.
There is an easier, quicker way of flashing the firmware, but you must have an sdcard. I'll post later a how to after work.

yeah i know how to root and install Custom Recovery and ROM but i dont understand how to flash this firmware
Thanks mate . it worked for me, thank you for your effort
Rename the firmware to 0P9CIMG.zip.
Then boot to bootloader.
Follow the on screen directions to update.
I made sure to have a stock recovery, I haven't tried flashing firmware with a custom recovery. I do know that my M8 can flash the firmware with a custom recovery.
After everything updates, remove the firmware update from the sd card.
If anyone has any questions, I'll try to answer them.

Rename the firmware to 0P9CIMG.zip.
Then boot to bootloader.
Follow the on screen directions to update.
I made sure to have a stock recovery, I haven't tried flashing firmware with a custom recovery. I do know that my M8 can flash the firmware with a custom recovery.

So if you boot to bootloader, it will automatically recognize the file and start updating firmware?
about the second point, you can flash firmware while having a custom recovery but after flashing the firmware you will lose the custom recovery because the firmware includes a stock recovery which will replace your custom one.
The biggest inconvenience here is, that you have to relock your bootloader before flashing firmware, because it won't accept firmware on an unlocked bootloader.

I remember you saying somewhere that you have a Chinese unicom device. if it's S-on, then this file won't work for you. If it's S-off and you have SuperCID, then you can use it. doing it is as easy as following the steps. if any step is unclear, let me know and I'll explain it.

That explains it. no need for relocking bootloader when you're S-OFF because that's basically a security precaution by hTC. I miss the old days with my S-off hTC One XL. I flashed so many files from different sources that it lead to a Hard-Brick

Sorry, I meant this file won't work for you. If your problems are firmware oriented, you'll just have to find the right firmware for your variant (or the right OTA) and flash it using this method. files for the chinese variant are not hard to come by if you look for them over the net.

you should look for A5_ul OTA (not the CWM/TWRP backup). you can also use the RUU from this thread if your variant matches; it will fix the wifi problem

you can find a nandroid backup for your device, which is much easier than s-off.
for s-off you'll have to pay 25$ and use sunshine. you can also take your phone to hTC care..
Installing the firmware it shows error 042

1-did you relock your bootloader before flashing firmware?
2-is your device exactly the same as models I mentioned in the first post?
