[Q] How is Android Recovery?

I wanted to bring my Desire S back to its original state as a "last resort", because although the Stock-GPS-Performance is not known to be the best, it surely must be better than nothing. And if not, I might send it to repair.
So I have flashed ENG-HBOOT and run the RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe. Now the device is back on stock with HBOOT 2.00.0002, locked, and S-ON.
When I now try to enter Android Recovery, I get an error-Picture at first, then an error-message "E: can't open cache/recovery/command" (see pics).
Is that the "regular" message for a unrooted, S-ON, locked phone?

Can't see the pic, but sounds right.
Edit.
Yip, that's normal. (Same on mine)

Now the pictures are there, the link was broken. Maybe a second view? Thanx.

[Completed] [Q] Can't update my rooted AT&T Note 3 to lollipop!

I've been trying to update it since the update start rooling out for my friends. The problem is that I always get the message: "Software Update Interrupted" And nothing...
My specifications are:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My phone was rooted through Towel Root...
All the methods that I found required me to have a SD card... which I don't... All i want is to get my phone updated to Lollipop! Also I don't want to lose my contacts and pictures, so if i need to backup these things how can i do it?
*Obs: I don't mind losing root access... I almost don't use it anyways. ..
I appreciate any help! Thanks

Hi, thank you for userid XDA Assist. The update won't work while you're rooted. Please see this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528707. If you have further questions you can ask there.

Can Z5 be rooted while is still locked? i mean...ever?

I find out now is probably not possible - - What about the future , is there like some tecguy with great skill working on it? I just really want there is a way to root my Z5 and do not need to unlock...
Pardon me for my lousy english...

No u can't but u can unlock it without losing any features by backing up your DRM keys and restoring it back..
What makes these keys lost actually is this in unlocking BL progress - and for unknown reasons - the keys are being deleted so what we do is after unlocking we just push back these keys so we don't get any losses or bad things after the unlocking progress
SS is from my XZ5 with bootloader unlocked and as u can see image processing is still here and working fine, so don't be afraid and just unlock it but don't forget your DRM keys!!

If there is something you need, you sound like the perfect guy for it.

I actually need to root this device ? so does anyone know how to?

Unlock bootloader get recovery you'll probably need to build that yourself would be a start.....

Nothing can be done without base software...

Unfortunately
The device is not bootloader unlocked in any way. Of course, it can be opened by dangerous or expensive ways such as boxes and test points. That's why we couldn't start improvements.
