I have followed the instructions on the root guide for this phone. I got the bootloader unlocked. When I got to this part:
3: reboot your phone into hboot and then into fastboot if you are not already there
4:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this is presuming the recovery.img is in the same directory as fastboot, you can either move it or point the code to it directly

I start having problems. I can boot into hboot. Then I can choose fastboot. From there, there is no option for "flash recovery" but there is one for just "recovery." I choose that and my phone just reboots back to normal. Plus, on my last phone, when I erwad through the root guide, it went through making the recovery image, but this guide did not do that. I am a beginner (obviously), so what am I missing? I can't do the nandroid backup until it's rooted, and I don't have a backup image. Plus that thing with my phone rebooting back into normal usage after selecting " recovery" from the menu, what do I do about that?

Thanks. So if I want to flash a new ROM, do I do it the same way? Do I need to open the CMD prompt and type in those same commands, but point it to the ROM I want?

You need the CMD prompt to flash a recovery and from recovery you can flash Superuser to become root or flash roms (from recovery).

Ok, this is what's happening now. I hold the volume down key and power key. It boots into hboot (i think that's what it's called). I scroll down to recovery and hit the power key. It immediately goes to the logo screen with a message that says "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC ithout HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action."
It just stays there until I remove the battery and start over.
Am I missing a step?

Don't type this!!!
This can brick your device!
Now, what cmd did you use, look at the prompt.
The recovery seems not to be flashed correctly, thats why it is not booting to recovery!
And look, how it is written: fastboot not flashboot
Copy and paste, otherwise you can damage your phone!

Ok, I made a folder on my PC:
C:\Android
Inside that folder I have these files:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
CMD starten
fastboot.exe
Superuser.zip
trecovery.img
I moved these files to my SD card:
trecovery.img (renamed to recovery.img)
Superuser.zip
I started my phone holding the volume down, and it booted to the hboot screen with a menu that has these items:
fastboot
recovery
factory reset
clear storage
simlock
image crc
show barcode
I selected "fastboot" from the menu, and it went to a new menu with these menu items:
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
I plugged the phone into the USB.
I clicked the CMD starten
I typed this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I hit enter and got this message in the CMD prompt:
sending 'recovery' (7456 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.042s]

When I go back to the previous menu and select "recovery" it just boots and hangs on the HTC One screen. If I take the battery out and reboot normal, it works fine with my stock Android install, like nothing happened.

I just went through the whole process again and it is working now! I must have missed something the first time.
So after it booted into recovery, I saw where it says "install zip from SD card"
I looked up the superuser.zip and installed it. It seemed to go ok, and it is rebooting now.
So this just means that the phone is now rooted, correct?

You can check, if you have a Superuser app in appdrawer.
But i see, you are on boost, which recovery did you flash?
Give me the link to the thread, please! Cause boost need its own recovery!

It did not install the superuser correctly because it's not in my app drawer.
I also noticed that the recovery menu is kinda shifted to the side a little bit, so it's hard to read until I start scrolling. Yeah, this has to be the wrong recovery.

Hi, A short but effective guide for people who want to root their Desire S while keeping HBOOT 2.00.0002 and S-ON. This is what I did with my phone yesterday, but took me a lot of time to figure things out, so I'm writing this for myself and other people.
1) First of all set up ADB and Fastboot. [GUIDE] Easy and simple adb and fastboot setup for newbies (Windows only)
Also download the ROM you wish to install on your Desire S and put it on your microSD card. For this tutorial I choose Reaper v2.1 rom by lowveld.
2) You have to unlock your bootloader first via HTCdev so that you can install EXT4 recovery and custom roms. In the dropdown list select ''All other supported models'' and follow the instructions.
If you successfully finished the HTCdev unlock tutorial, your phone has a unlocked bootloader.
3) We're going to install EXT4 recovery. But first download ''4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip'' and extract the recovery.img file to the folder where you installed fastboot and adb. If you followed the tutorial in step 1 the folder will be ''C:\android-tools''
Now make sure Fast Boot is turned off on your phone. Go to ''Settings > Power > Fast Boot'' to turn it off. Unplug your phone from your computer, it's time to turn of your phone and boot into your bootloader.
Press Volume Down Button and Power Button at the same time to boot into recovery. Now connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot.
(Power button to select, Volume Down/Up to navigate)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
Type:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [press enter]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EXT4 recovery is now installed on your phone. Turn off your phone in bootloader menu.
4) Open the rom (.zip file) you downloaded in step 1 and put the ''boot.img'' file in ''C:\android-tools''
If you followed this tutorial correctly, you already copied your desired rom your onto your MicroSD card.
Now we boot into the bootloader again, this time we select recovery.
Go to: wipe | format>and select: wipe data/factory reset (this may take a while), then select wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
Go back to main menu in EXT4 recovery and select ''install from sdcard'' select ''Reaper_V2.1.ZIP''. After the rom is installed turn your phone off again.
Boot into recovery, connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot on your phone.
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
Type:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After it's successfully installed, turn of your phone and just boot normally. It may take a while for your phone to boot up.
Your phone is unlocked,rooted and has a custom ROM.
Enjoy
Note: Some new ICS roms require different kind of HBOOT. I use Fallout v5.0.0 without any problems.
Just press the 'Thanks' button instead of saying thanks.

Why did you temp root at step 2? As soon as you restart your phone it'll be gone.

So it's not permanent? meaning step 2 is unnecessary?
@n0elite
Yeah, if your phone is locked (2. hboot) or s-on (0.98 hboot) if will just give you shell root, useful but not required for what you doing.
this looks promising, i think i'll try it someday
so i'll be root after i finished this procedure, or just temporary?
Finally. This was the missing link in this forum!
I had the intention do write one, but I am S-OFF and cannot verify the steps without going to Stock then doing the steps and then downgrade and S-OFF again. Too many things to do just in the name of a correct tutorial. Anyway thanks I am glad that somebody finally wrote it!
P. S. : please notify ben_pyett to include it in the Index thread

Damn, where did you read to pull the battery? NEVER PULL BATTERY AT RUNNING OR BOOTING SYSTEM EXCEPT YOUR AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY TO GET A PAPERWEIGHT AND DON'T MIND IT!!
Did really take a look at the recovery? What is written as last line?
Ok, but your phone is off now, if not reboot to bootloader with
adb reboot bootloader
at the command line.
Otherwise start it with vol down and power.
There use the fastboot command to flash the boot.img, if you're lucky it will work.

What rom do you use? Maybe the recovery script forces a restart, sry, but anyways use vol down vol up and power or adb reboot bootloader to force a reboot.
If it's really needed only pull battery in between the small gap after shutdown and boot, but not at running system.
Try it the other way round, first flash the boot.img, afterwards flash the rom.

I followed your directions, I installed version Reaper_V2.1'''' I closed, I opened the phone and I gave in "Fastboot", give the command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter],
but it says "error: can not load boot.img", if I saw a video where I realize I'm wrong or my phone failed.

This is where I am stuck. Unfortunately, I'm not all that familiar with Fastboot. When connecting the phone to the PC with a USB, I see that the phone says Fatboot USB. From there I'm lost. I've not been able to find a guide that describes how to install a ROM using fastboot. Lots of posts says that it can be done, but none describing how its done. Anyone pointing me in the right direction?

It's just an exe. Boot your phone into fastboot mode. Your computer will recognize that it is plugged in in fast boot mode if you have the HTC driver installed. Then open the exe on your computer and follow the instructions on the screen. It will take about 15 mins for the whole process and your phone will reboot several times.
Also make sure you use twrp recovery instead of clockwork if you re-root!

I cant seem to find a stock Rogers Ruu...will continue searching. Anyone out there have it?
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27882810#post27882810
Finally got it working...the above link is what worked. Here is the summary...
I was having this same problem and it took a while before I could get it to work. Try opening a command window in the same location of your adb tools.
First, make sure you're in fastboot mode, then type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'
Next, make sure you have the .zip RUU file in the same folder and type 'fastboot flash zip XXX.zip' (replace XXX with whatever it's called, of course)
Now, you can see what is actually happening when you are flashing the RUU. In my case, there was 2 points where it told me to "re-flush image immediately" or something like that. When I ran the last command again (fastboot flash zip XXX.zip) it went a bit further each try, but it took until the 3rd try before it was successful.
Hopefully this helps you out!

I'm stock right now (rooted) , but the updates keep failing, so i want to reflash stock rom.

I downloaded ARUwizard and the stock rogers rom (PJ83IMG) but its still failing. I dont get all this adb tools stuff.
Click to expand...

do this:
1.Put Rogers stock zip (keep it in zip form) in your platform-tools folder (you need to download Android SDK). This is the rogers file I downloaded...http://rapidlibrary.com/files/pj83i...elease-254934-signed-zip_ulc8eyefx8i89on.html
2. Boot phone into fastboot (hold power button and volume down key)
3. Used command window to relock bootloader by doing the following:
use command window to get to location on your computer where you have saved SDK stuff, continue with command window to the platform-tools folder then enter the following commands:
fastboot devices <enter>
fastboot oem lock <enter>
Phone will restart and reboot into fastboot again
4. type 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'.
5. Next, make sure you have the .zip RUU file in the same folder (see step 1) and type 'fastboot flash zip XXX.zip' (replace XXX with whatever the rogers stock zip is called, I changed it to "rogersstock.zip")
Phone will reboot to a HTC screen. If you see "re-flush image immediately", repeat fastboot flash zip XXX.zip command. You may have to do this 2 or 3 times.
After doing this, I was able to download and install the Rogers firmware update
BTW...I didn't discover any of this stuff on my own...I researched a bunch of different posts and put it together. Hopefully, someone else finds have all this in one post useful.
Hey guys, AT&T One X unlocked
I'm having a similar problem, been following the wiki exactly and when I flashed CWM recovery and it says it was successful:

finished. total time: 2.380s
When I select recovery it brings up the HTC logo and says in red text "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute without HTCs written permission... etc" after about 10 seconds the device boots up as normal.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I'm having a similar problem, been following the wiki exactly and when I flashed CWM recovery and it says it was successful:
F:\Users\Ryan\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash re
covery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
sending 'recovery' (5742 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.890s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.480s]
finished. total time: 2.380s
When I select recovery it brings up the HTC logo and says in red text "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute without HTCs written permission... etc" after about 10 seconds the device boots up as normal.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

What you are doing wrong is flashing the recovery for the wrong phone. Any file with "enveavoru" in it is for the international (Tegra3) version. Our phone is "evita".
Only install things in our Dev forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1541
To see everything in an organized list, go to my index: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Also, TWRP is recommended. CWM does not officially support our device, and therefore is just a port, and buggy. TWRP officially supports our device.
im getting the same error and im using the recovery ending on evita
Rooting- error: cannot load "flashboot flash recovery r1-modaco-reco... .img"
I'm rooting my HTC One S the first time. And I was stupid and thought that HTC One X Clockworkmod flash would work.
Now I know how flashing and clockworkmod installing works but before that I accidentally flashed the One X command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.7-endeavoru.img" and now when I go to recovery it gives me a red text and nothing works.
I searched everywhere for a guide to remove it and did not found. So I thought I could flash it over with an One S flash, but then when I entered the command: "fastboot flash recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img" It gave me this: "error: cannot load 'recovery r1-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img'. My phone is connected perfectly, when I type 'fastboot devices' it shows me my phone is there.
So I think this is not a big problem for developers. Can anyone tell me what to flash or do to get rid of the One X recovery? Otherwise I just have to live with a phone with unlocked Bootloader and no access to root
Do you have the IMG I the directory from which you are running fast boot?

mabey I should just do a factory reset :/
Why don't you dl goo manager from market, open it and open menu and tap on Install OpenScriptRecovery and let it install twrp--although, I guess if you aren't rooted yet that won't work
Did you try fastbooting the cwmr from here--
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Did you check the md5 on the modaco recovery before flashing
At the red text did you try hitting vol+ or vol- not sure which one takes you to stock recovery. What does red text say--
Did you hard reboot with holding down vol- and power at same time then release pwr after screen goes off and continue to hold vol-
Not sure what is wrong, just giving some ideas--

Tyvm for your reply,
the cwmr for HTC One S does not exist any more on the page you gave me. There's only a blank page if you click on it
yes I did hard reboot and the red text says: This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply my lead to legal action.
I tried the superboot from this site: htt p://w ww.m odaco.co m/to pic/352493-how-to-root-your-htc-one-s-for-windows-mac-and-linux/
This just brought up the recovery message again...
Then I tried flashing these files:h ttp://ww w.m odaco.c om/topic/353006-interim-clockworkmod-touch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/
no help.
Any other ideas I should try?
However the flashing went through this time and there were no error, but the recovery is still f**ked.

I flashed the "openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img". Didnnt change anything :/
sorry to hear that, not sure what else to do, so you still have onex recovery?
even if you run an ruu, i think you still have to flash the stock recovery first. haven't read up on that much, as never needed to run one
Don't know if trying to flash the stock recovery will help. I have the original one at home, but not sure if that is what they still call stock recovery with new ota's having come out
If it cannot load it, you probably spelt the name wrong. rename the image file to recovery.img (make sure it isn't .img.img) and flash that. Make sure the file path is correct! (e.g fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Me\Desktop\recovery.img)

no no, the flashing finished successfully. I entered "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img" and then it flashed without problems, but in the phone it didn't change a thing. If I enter recovery then there's the android icon with a white background and under it is the red text.
But keep guessing, maybe I really am doing something stupid wrong
When I go to Fastboot USB mode with my phone then I open the command prompt and firstly type "cd c:\CWM" (the folder where my flashing files are). Then secondly I type "fastboot devices" (just to be shure). And thirdly depending on what I am flashing I type "fastboot flash recovery name.img". I have tried "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img", "fastboot flash recovery r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville" and "fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed". Every one of them finishes successfully but doesn't change anything in the phone. I already have recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-ville.zip and CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip in my phones directory to install root when I get into the recovery. In the C:\CWM folder in my computer are these files:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
(these where exctracted from fastboot.zip)
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img
r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img
ville_recovery_signed.img
the text won't disappear with unlocked bootloader, so that's ok.
Try to boot into bootloader hit fastboot reboot bootloader and then choose recovery. It can take a while to boot into recovery.

fastboot ->reboot bootloader ->bootloader ->recovery. Absolutely no change, It took half a second to bring up the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo and about two seconds for the red text to appear under it. No buttons work after that and I just have to hold the power button down to shut it down.
And by bootloader is unlocked!
As stunner said above it can take a while to boot into recovery, how long have you waited?
Give it a few minutes... Also you could try flashing stock recovery, it is distributed in the all-in-one tool and also in paulobriens posts about superboot. Then run a RUU.
But my best to would be to try fastboot booting a custom recovery, "fastboot boot cwm.img".
If this is the thing where you go int recovery for a millisecond and then back to the 'red text' screen (you have to watch carefully to notice), you should try erasing your cache in fastboot mode.
fastboot erase cache

It's gotten a little confusing and some suggestions are being repeated. I wonder if the android icon you are describing is the stock recovery symbol. At that screen have you tried to press vol+ or maybe volume-. I forget which one takes you to stock recovery. May want to check on that.
Also, have you tried typing "fastboot boot recovery" to go straight to recovery, bypassing htc restrictions
Here is very early stock recovery--not sure if it is still considered "stock" with new versions out now--I did mention that earlier--
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yhrq0tia8512rj9/go28kc1NeP/ville_recovery_signed.img
I did have issues fastbooting recovery before. You can as mentioned try fastboot erase cache before fastbooting recovery. And change the name of your recovery to just recovery.img before you fastboot.
I assume you have nandroid backup on phone and copies of it and sdcard backup on pc.
I think when I had issues with recovery sticking it was my N1 and I typed "fastboot erase system" first, then fastbooted recovery. Then wiped all and restored nandroid. I am not sure we can do that on the 1s with no s-off. Someone else may know.
Can you access sdcard where you could reformat it fat32 thru a windows formatter program. Of course copy all to pc first. Sometimes sdcard formats help things you wouldn't expect it to.
Some folks have reported formatting works better thru phone on the 1s, maybe because it is an internal card. I did it once and think I had to redo it thru phone. But, if it gets recovery working, no big deal.
All these are suggestions and as the devs say--at your own risk--
I thought you said you said in first post, phone works, just no root capabilty. If that is true it should be fixable--I hope.

Okay I waited for 10 minutes, nothing happens. I've even tried to hold down all the button combinations(with the three buttons) for a few minutes.
I've tried flashing everything and fastboot boot just takes me directly to the recovery with the red text. I flashed both the recoveries in the all-in-one tool.
As I know absolutely nothing about RUU(only what the letters stand for) then I'd rather not do that because I read from some threads that RUU has quite a high chance to mess up your phone. Or if you direct me to a tutorial that u insure me that is 100% good then I could give it a go : D
[
I think I have made the same mistake of flash recovery, but I can not get into cwm recovery, I only appear for 1 second the recovery, then restarts and returns to the operating system. SD card, all changes are discarded when you restart the phone, which is also only if I try to install or remove some utility. Can not install any recovery, even if fastboot works well and looks real mind install the recovery but when I reboot, it returns to its previous behavior, with recovery not working. I tried to install the recovery in every way, from fastboot, from All in one with quickroot, but none of these operations has changed the state of the system.
Unfortunately you can not install a Stock RUU because the bootloader unlocked and the recovery is not the stock, and especially not when there is no tutorial to follow to bring this situation to the ONE S, to its original state
Hopefully someone will be able to find a solution to your and my problem.
One option you guys may need to entertain, if applicable, would be to exchange phones with Carrier. Worth a shot--
I have not heard of this exact issue, but most comments say if you can't boot to recovery you are bricked--
Has anyone tried "fastboot boot recovery" command in terminal window?
no access to recovery
I've got big problem. My One Mini is fine until I try to go into recovery. It refuses to go there.
I get fastboot and bootloader menus fine. It enters bootloader, but if I try to go into recovery, it just goes back to the main bootloader menu.
The problem started when I flashed CWMRecovery. Fastboot and adb recognise my phone, and accept commands, but when I try to fastboot flash recovery in it sends an error message. File not found.
I tried " fastboot boot recovery.img" but that just froze the machine .
When I try to get into recovery from rom manager or ROM toolbox pro, it takes me to the fastboot menu, not into recovery, and we're back to square one, as above.
Running android 4.3 Sense 5.5 software 2.12.401.1 Supercid 11111111
rooted and unlocked
To get the phone to work again, I have to hold power down for about 10 secs direct from fastboot/bootloader...may have to do this several times before it boots into Android.
If I turn power off from bootloader, it returns to bootloader when I power up again.
If I don't turn the phone off, once in main application, it's all OK.
Ho hum.
As I say , it works like a dream until I want to go into recovery.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks

The correct command to flash the recovery is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
see also: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_fastboot_intro
Booting into recovery should be possible with
Code:
adb reboot recovery
I didnt tried CWM on the Mini, but used it on my old Marvel. I'm satisfied with TWRP for the Mini.
greetings
Yes, thanks. I know the commands should work...but that's the trouble..they don't!
I can get into the recovery menu...HBOOT /FASTBOOT / RECOVERY and so on, but selecting "RECOVERY" simply sends me back to HBOOT menu.
I can't flash anything under FASTBOOT, either. I've been doing this sort of thing for several years without trouble....until now!
So come on chaps..thinking caps on , please.

The RUU wouldn't run: it reported an unknown error, but having done so, it must have done something, as when I rebooted, I had access to recovery once again...briefly! Then it went again.
Anyway, I re locked / unlocked , locked a few times, and hey presto, it's sprung back into life!
Any recommendations on removing TWRP and restoring stock recovery so I can move up to 7.1.1?
I don't have a backup of the old recovery.

Well, it's actually everywhere. However, you have to discern what apply to you and what do not. That's the danger of a public forum such a this. Everyone has an opinion. Sometimes, an inaccurate answer is provided. Most other times, the incorrect question was originally posed.
In your case, you don't need to go back to the original stock image. Assuming your bootloader is still unlocked, just flash 7.1.1 and get on with your life. Download 7.1.1 stock image from the Google developers' web site. Extract it. Edit the flash-all.bat file to remove the -w switch if you don't want to lose userdata. Boot the phone into bootloader. Execute flash-all.bat. Then you have 7.1.1.
If you don't have a recovery backup, then you're taking a risk. I have not only a recovery backup, but more importantly, a complete set of Titanium backup on my laptop.

Download the factory image for the version of Android that you're currently running. Look inside the zip and you'll find another zipped file. Open that and you'll see a file in there that's named boot.img. Extract the boot.img file the same folder as your fastboot is in, open a command prompt in that folder flash it with fastboot.
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
That will get you back to the stock bootloader and stock recovery.

Well, hope there's not a next time, but power + volume up should take you to the recovery menu. It's next to impossible to brick phones any more. Lord knows I try daily to see how I can brick my phones, just so I can assist others.

I can get into the bootloader, but again, any option leads to the No Command screen.
Ok, from the bootloader I was able to manually flash a different image and things are looking a little better.
I now have the dancing dots and ADB see's a device attached. PROGRESS!
The devices throws errors on bootup, but it runs for now.
Please ignore. Posted to wrong thread. Sorry!
Here's the easiest way I've found to update. You'll need TWRP, so go ahead and download it - https://twrp.me/devices/googlepixel.html. Put the img file on your computer and the zip file on your phone. You'll boot into TWRP by using the "Fastboot boot" command. DO NOT "fastboot flash" it or you'll have to re-flash the boot image to get your phone out of a bootloop.
Now that you're in TWRP, you'll need the OTA file. I've only tested going up one increment so I suggest doing it that way. If you're brave, go ahead and download the latest OTA - https://developers.google.com/android/ota. Worst case TWRP won't flash it and you'll have to go back and do them incrementally.
Now that you're in TWRP and have the OTA and TWRP-RC1.zip on your phone, flash the update just like you would a rom. As soon as it successfully flashes (and before you reboot), flash the TWRP zip.
I did this incrementally from NMF260 > NMF26U > NMF26V without any issues. I believe it'll work as long as you're moving up an OTA just as the phone would have normally received them. Just remember to flash TWRP every time after you install the OTA as it gets overwritten with each OTA.

I Know this post is old, I am just researching but, sounds to me like you really need to search, read, and actually learn before you attempt anything on your phone. I am not being hateful or rude, just pointing out the obvious....
