Hi,
I already had unlocked my HTC Desire 500 phone with custom ROM (used PhilZ CWM-Recovery and UFO Kit-Kat ROM).

Yesterday my phone go out off batteries, and from that time it boot only to bootloader.

When I try to load any new recovery image, fastboot say this:
C:\android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6982 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.369s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image update error)

even recovery partition is not able to erase:
C:\android>fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.004s

getvar all:
(bootloader) version: 0.5
