So yes, flashing recovery goes ok without errors. But trying to get to recovery results in boot loop.
I also found the latest ruu exe with 608.15 that matched my phone but it gave some "undefined error" and then wouldn't update. It starts the process and at some point errors out.
Is there a way to remove traces of the commands? When I do oem lock it says relocked. I want to try and get verizon to replace this. The reboot problem has been there for a long time and I don't think I caused it. Only previously it would recover when battery was removed. But now it doesn't.
you can show us a paste of your session,if you want.. but it doesnt sound good. sounds like the recovery partition is damaged beyond installing a new recovery.
unfortunately,thats one of the downfalls of htcdev. the only way to get rid of the
relocked watermark would be to flash the older .92 hboot,where all visual clues of htcdev would be gone. but,there is no way(that i know of) to get back to .92 or flash any older ruu,without changing the main version,wich you cannot do without working recovery,or working,booting OS
a copy/paste of your cmd window flashing the recovery certainly could not hurt.
Instead of:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img
Couldn't I have done:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img
sure,you could have done that. the reasons i didnt are:
when unlocking the first time,whatever recovery is in place would be overwritten with the stock recovery in the froyo downgrade,so there wasnt mucn point.
after unlocking the second time,most folks want a permanent recovery to root,rom and mod things,so for most folks using the guide,leaving the stock recovery wasnt a great idea there,either.
on the rezound and other devices that folks are using s-on
unlock i actually preach to leave the stock recovery so the phone can still accept OTAs
or even if they wish to install a permanent recovery,since booted recovery can install kernels,unlike an installed one. it can also be good in recovery situations (lightbulb
) so the fastboot boot command very defiantely has its uses :smokingsomb:
[/B]That way you could boot from the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-inc.img file in the mini-adb_inc folder instead of flash it to the phone (basically load it as a ramdisk on the phone) so you could backup the stock recovery, and then proceed with the flashing over it with clockwork recovery.
just thot id point out,that you cant back up the stock recovery with clockwork,in the same sense that you make a nandroid backup. you must dump the recovery partition with adb commands,wich can be done from a custom recovery since the adb daemon is running,or from the botoed OS.
as sdraw saiid,running an ruu restores the stock recovery,and you could easily pull a stock recovery image from an ruu,and pack it up as a PB31IMG,or fastboot boot/fastboot flash it,if you really wanted to.
just make sure that if you do ever return to stock,and sell the device,do it a favor and leave it s-off!
