I am having trouble flashing a new custom recovery. i am currently using twrp 2.4.3.0 and having issues when installing new roms. When i try to flash CWM via app it says it worked but when boot into recovery still twrp. i have tried fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img] but i get an error that says
error: cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-ace': Unknown error
I don't know how to fix this. Please help.
Is your bootloader unlocked or are you S-Off? Did you happen to relock it or anything?
I an s-on with unlocked bootloader usuing htcdev. I was originally able to flash via fastboot. That is how I got twrp. I don't like it and wanna use a different recovery. Should I try and get s-off and then try?

No. If your bootloader is unlocked, then recovery should be flashable. Try to flash 4ext recovery using 4ext updater that is free from their site.

Wanted to say thanks for the help. Got it to work.

You can use every bootloader with every recovery.
You just need s-off to flash a custom recovery.

So... I have a S-on Desire S unlocked with HTCdev, rooted with superoneclick but I can not get the 4EXT recovery working. App is installed and all my partitions are ext4.
I get the red triangle when I go in to Recovery but I even haven't flashed anything. Just trying to make a backup first.
Is there anything else I have to do to get the recovery working ?
Try flash recovery in fastboot. 100% need to work then

Do you mean I have to install it in fastboot?
In start I was on clockworkmod but later I got cache probelms and I changed to 4ext but clockwork I did flash in fastboot.

OK. I uninstalled 4EXT and flashed the recovery image with adb / fastboot.
Now I have a recovery indeed. Thanks man...
I used this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314629 more specific the quote from "Skanob " how to flash it.
Next step is to install the (touch) app again end see if that works to...
Hi All,
I was wondering if there was a way to install a custom rom using clockwork mod with s-on hboot 2.00.0002 or something like that. Any help appreciated
Use this - (assuming you already have Clockwork Mod) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
Since you are hboot 2.00.002, you have to go through an additional step after that. Extract the boot.img from the ROM and do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19071114&postcount=37
yes exactly CORRECT ...i did the same and running on CM7.1...
do i have to be s-off?
No, just unlocked via HTC dev

Help: Tried to backup rom using rom manager and got an icon of a phone with a triangle with an ! In it in red what do i do?
Did you flash CWM?? You need to flash a recovery using fastboot.

i installed from rom manager and then went down to backup current rom and then got that icon after phone rebooted
Try flashing via fastboot. That icon is in stock htc recovery. Alternately, install 4ext recovery using 4ext recovery control app

how do i backup first?
You need to get 4ext recovery to backup (i'm assuming that you mean nandroid backup, and that you are rooted. If not, then you must flash recovery via fastboot. )

i'm not s-off and the app says i need it what do i do?
Did you unlock via htcdev.com? Does your hboot say unlocked? If yes, it should work fine.
Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk
it does say unlocked but it is still s-on what do i do?
Ask madmaxx, the maker of 4ext. I think you are good to go, but you need to be sure.
Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk
does it conflict with clockwork mod and do i have to uninstall it?
It automatically removes CWM, and takes it's place.

so how do i s-off and if so does that mean downgrading?
Dude, THERE IS NO NEED TO S-OFF !!!! You can't do that without a downgrade, an UNLOCKED bootloader is the best you get. It's 99% equal to s-off. The only difference is you need to flash the boot.img of each ROM after flashing.
I bought it yesterday and when I tried to go with the rooting process, when I rebooted into the bootloader, it said ***UNLOCKED*** and above that it said ***TAMPERED***. I figured that it was already unlocked so I resumed with the process. I installed the CWM recovery and the SuperSU.
However, it still say "Ship S-On" in the bootloader. Am I free to flash ROMs or am I supposed to get it to S-Off somehow?
S-Off rooting has not been achieved yet. Unlocking bootloader and rooting with the current methods will allow for custom ROM installation.

One s doesnt have S-off yet,but you can flash rom s anyway .you will just have to fastboot the boot or use twrp recovery ,
I would stick to fastboot tho as twrp doesn't always flash the boot for me.

So I flash the ROM first. Then If i want to install a kernel, I install through fastboot? In that order?
For example: I flash This ROM first and then I reboot into fastboot in the bootloader to flash This Kernel?
Ya you can flash kernel first or last doesn't matter , just fastboot boot.IMG reboot to recovery and flash Rom

Hi.After search all one s forum .i couldnt find any solution. After facepalm s-off method. i installed engineered hboot 2.05 via twrp .
Now i cant run any fastboot command.There is no problem with using phone and i can flash aosp roms.but cant flash sense roms .it stucks.
i thing its a twrp recovery problem. and i want revert back an older version but i am getting error with fastboot.i flashed old hboot with twrp.Problem still exist .Any solution?
Im not sure about the hboot you flashed. 2.05? Where did you get it?
The other thing. You can flash recovery with app called Flash image GUI. Just download recovery.img and flash it by using that app.

From my experience, you must be unlocked to fastboot... doesn't matter if you are SOFF or not.

Is there an easier way of rooting after running ruu 3.18 update if I was already s-off?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
If your bootloader is unlocked just flash twrp 2.3.3.1 or under. Then you can flash su or wipe everything and flash a ROM.

I've unlocked bootloader and installed twrp also flashed su and tried to flash CM10. I wiped cashe and and then installed CM10.1 and now it freezes on "HTC quitly briliant" screen and some warning notes under it.. what to do?
Is it necessary tu S-off?
Wipe everything not just cache. Then fastboot flash boot boot.IMG right before or after flashing the ROM. The boot.img should be extracted from the ROM you're flashing.

Only if you wish to ruu without bricking after supercid

Wouldn't the ruu lock the bootloader tho?

No. RUU doesn't "lock" anything. If S-on, you typically need to relock the bootloader to run an RUU (but as mentioned, running the 3.18 RUU with S-on and SuperCID will brick the device).
But with S-off, it doesn't matter if bootloader is locked or not.
