[GUIDE] How to get ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on your DHD

Hi! A lot of people ask for a guide to install ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on the Desire HD.
I'm not a pro, i make this guide to help people ! Some one can correct me if I'm wrong, i'm open !
Description:
This guide will help you to install CWM 3 on your Desire HD.
Warning:
CWM 3 doesn't support update-script (Amend), it requires update-binary and updater-script (Edify)
Not all mods use updater-script, test and if that don't work, try this this usefull tool that make the conversion betwen Amend and Edify: amend2edify
If some one want, i can explain the use of this tool
Before Flashing:
You need adb and fastboot to perform this install !
You can download it here:
http://www.multiupload.com/QACREBQOWO
You also have to download the CWM 3 .IMG here:
http://www.multiupload.com/80H7K8IXG4
Let's GO !:
1) Extract the content of adb_fasboot.rar in a folder named "adb_fastboot" at the root of your disk (ex: "C:\adb_fastboot")
2) copy the .IMG of CWM 3 into the same folder of the step 1 (ex: "C:\adb_fastboot\ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img")
3) Connect your phone by USB in (Charge only mode
4) Open a command prompt: Windows key + R and type "cmd" and valid by OK
5) Go into your adb_fastboot folder with this command:
Code:
cd C:\adb_fastboot
If your folder disk is not c:\ replace "C" by the correct letter !
If your folder is not named adb_fastboot, repalce "adb_fastboot" by your folder name !
6) Reboot your phone in bootloader with this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
7) Flash the recovery with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img
8) Reboot your phone:

I installed CWM 3 earlier but I just went back to 2.5.1.3 using ROM Manager as I couldn't be bothered updating mods to work with CWM 3. No problems to report

how to change color font ?
dark green or dark blue mayby white?
I do not like ... brown

LOL sorry.. U can't.. it's only recovery, you don't use it that often to really be bothered about .. and it's orange, not brown

hi there ...
ppl how try the new cw 3 ... what is the point to move from 2.1.5 to 3.0.05 ..
anyone can repot the advantige and disadvan...???

You need to upgrade to use gingerbread 2.3. Cwmod 3 uses a ext4 partition and 2... series uses an ext3 partition.

Just boot into recovery and check it.
Is the charging bug still present in 3.x version?

Is it possible to do a restore with cwm3?
Every time I try to make a restore from a cwm7 backup
Cwm shows a MD5 error.

Lost phone storage???

So this morning I made a Nandroid backup (everything was acting normal) and I flashed the LeeDroid ROM then his insecure boot image since my phone wouldn't boot without that. Since then, my phone just will not recognize the internal SD card from Android (although, it is fine in Recovery). I posted about this in the LeeDroid thread because I thought it was ROM specific, but I just restored my Nandroid and the issue persisted. I have no clue what happened here. Any ideas?

Not sure if it is related but since I flashed the new ROM (even after restoring) I get that Android is Upgrading (runs through all apps optimizing) screen on each boot. Is this related to the boot img? Would the boot img have restored when I ran the Nandroid?

Hi I saw your issue in the LeoDroid thread also. I think if I were you I would flash the stock HTC recovery and do a factory reset with that. Or flash a RUU file.
To answer your question though, if you restore a nandroid it does include your old boot.img

Why would the recovery be involved though? I don't get what caused this. The Recovery console sees my memory card just fine.

Ok so in ROM Toolbox - Root Browser, the sdcard shows up as a file, not a folder. When I click on it, it has empty contents. Does this help? I have full permissions on the file. The sdcard is pointed to /mnt/sdcard but when I specifically go there, it is empty. When I check permissions on sdcard under mnt, they are all unchecked and when I check them off, it is unsuccessful... ARGH

Could someone post their fstab file for me so I can mimic it and push to the phone, I think it is related.
Thanks

Ok so I do have an fstab file and here are the contents
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard emmc /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host
Is that correct? Why does the mount command in the shell day fstab not found or corrupt?

May be a stupid question, but in settings it doesn't show anything under Phone Storage? What do you see there? Can you try to format it? Can you put a screen shot of your Storage settings? Here is what mine looks like.
You say you can access SDCard from Recovery, did you try to go to Mount and Storage and format SDCard?
FYI I'm on leedroid.

Do you have important files on the sdcard your trying to recover? If not have you gone back to a stock recovery and tried to clear storage yet?

1. This does not belong in the dev section - next time post in Q&A section
2. Your signature says you are S-ON. If this is correct you cannot flash kernel files as is. You must either S-OFF or repack the zImage kernel file into a boot.img and flash using fastboot flash boot boot.img then flash the modules through recovery.
Tbh I would go for S-OFF because its much less hassle than the other way

Assuming you are on MIUI 2.7.13 (based on your signature) the sense based one then that is why. The newest MIUI messed up a lot of crap I was not able to flash bricked kernel over it either got the same exact error.

To solve your problem,
Format System Partition
Format Cache Partition
Otherwise, Even if you go back to the previous, It will not work, you have to reinstall everything from scratch.
Do you can reinstall 4ext Recovery.

The way I fixed it was by restoring from backup of viper rom, fixed the issue, tried installing miui again and see if it would allow me to install custom kernel, same error. it has to be due to the boot.image inside the rom

I think its because the MIUI China just had HTC Sensation updated to 3.33.401. That could create the problem

Im s-off and i couldnt install bricked kernel miui 2.7.13 and it worked on all the previous versions
I an error at the end when it flashed the. Modified boot image i got assert failed

Cannot install stable CM10.2

My capasitive back, home and recent apps buttons has stopped working so I would like to have the on screen buttons as I do on my Nexus 10.
I tried to root the device to be able to modify the /system/build.props file. I used the superboot method but that din't work as I have S-ON. I then continued trying to install CM 10.2, and in the process, when installing CWM recovery, that asked If I wanted to root and I did. I then booted back in to the stock ROM now with root but after changing the build.props file it just reverted after reboot. I then continued to flash the CM10.2 and gapps for 4.3, but the device fails to boot... Now I have reverted to backup and use the button savior, but I don't like it...
I suspect that trying to flash this superboot messed up something... ? On one of the start up screens I have a disclaimer in red about HTC development software which came up after I tried to flash that...

Can anybody help me?

Having root does not grant you automatically rights to modify system files. For altering build.prop you should have mount /system partition in R/W mode before trying to edit the file. Even if you have root, /system is read only so you cannot save changes. You could mount system as R/W either by ADB commands issuing the following from command prompt:
su
adb shell mount -o rw, remount /system
Or by mounting system R/W from the root file Explorer you're using
Sent from nowhere over the air...

I used root explorer to alter the file, and before edit i clicked the mount r+w button. I read somewhere that on-screen buttons does not work on HTC sense anyways, so I may have to install CM or an other rom... I tried to flash just the CM10.2 an not the gapps now, but it fails to boot. The HTC splash screen comes up, the screen goes black, the splash comes, goes black, and so it goes...

I forgot to flash the boot.img... inside the zip

Although this is for another HTC model, the basic idea should get you started again.
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/fix-soft-bricked-htc-one-by-flashing-new-rom-via-adb-0154361/

I Guess that when i tried the superboot, that did something to my kernel. Inside the .bat file it actually flashes the boot (isn't that the kernel?)
Cyanogenmod also has a note in the install procedure which I initialy didn't do:
Note:
This device, if unlocked with HTCDev Unlock, must have its kernel flashed via fastboot. Extract boot.img from the CyanogenMod .zip package and flash it from the bootloader with: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I flashed the boot.img inside the Cyanogenmod .zip first, than I wiped and installed the Cyanogenmod .zip from the CWM recovery. I ended up using the M7 snapshot of CM11, and that worked! I then flashed gapps for Android 4.4.
After everything was up and running I edited the /system/build.props using root explorer (I mounted /system as r+w inside root explorer) adding the line qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, rebooted and got the softkeys!

So what happens if you flash TWRP as the link says?

I din't use TWRP. I used CWM Touch 6.0.4.8.
I probably could just flashed the boot.img after the device didn't boot, but I reverted to backup, and started over and started with the boot flash...

Can you get to the boot loader menu?
You can still flash TWRP on there and follow the instructions. If you really want CWM afterwards, simply flash CWM back on. I would try the link since it is talking about stopping your boot loop.

[Solved] Accidentally Wiped OS From Smartphone

Hello.
I was trying to do a factory reset when I accidentally wiped the os from 'my' phone.
I still can access to bootloader and I have TWRP installed.
I have no backups and no experience in the field.
How can I have 'my' phone back on track again?
Thank you very much.
