for some reason my phone won't boot into CW recovery, this is what i've tried so far

i've tried several different versions of Rom manager, uninstalled and rebooted phone and installed new version each time

ive tried booting into recovery manually by pressing the volume down and power button but did not work

ive tried booting into recovery by using terminal emulator

and finally said flip it and installed the stock rom that htc has on site and root phone again using z4root and then installed rom manager again and when tried to flash recovery i get the same message as always, which says " an error occurred while flashing your recovery"

if anyone has any suggestions please reply and if possible maybe provide me with theyre AIM screen name so that i can try and resolve this problem, thanks

 

i dont know what to do anymore, ive been up since 5am last night messing with this thing and reading several forums and cant get it to work, im sorry to say but i think im getting ready to give up and just get another phone since im due for an upgrade from sprint, i really would rather not have to do that but if i have to i will, theres no way im gonna stay on the stock rom

 

is there something else i can use to flash a rom other than clockworkMod?

 

sorry the build is 2.27.651.6

 

my phone is rooting fine it just won't let me flash clockwork recovery in rom manager for some reason :'(

i will try it tho since i want to continue using my hero

 

thanks and yes im in the process of trying DonB's method and hoping works, i really do appreciate all the help i've gotten from everyone on here, and to prove it ill thank both of you lol

 

i was really getting my hopes up but sad to say it failed ....changed the rom to .5 and installed universal androot and worked fine and then tried flashing recovery and nothing, same message " error occurred while flashing your recovery"

 

is there any other app i can use to flash into another recovery other than clockwork so i can flash a Rom

 

holy crap guys, for some reason it just started working, i went to the kitchen to get some water and came back and thought id give it another try (flash recovery) and it worked, sweeeeeeet

thanks guys for all your patience and i will continue to follow donb's steps, im about to nandroid and flash aosp 2.2 and if it works continue from there, will keep you posted and will keep my fingers crossed

 

Would anyone please post a step by step instructions on how to install aosp 2.3 rom, thank you

 

yes i was connected via USB cable but it was just charging, didnt have debugging on or wasnt connected to store anything on phone....it was doing it both ways when i was connected and not connected via USB cable

im glad to report that im on aosp 2.3 Rom and everything is working great for me but the only thing i noticed today is a couple of reboots when i put my extra battery in today since i got home drunk and forgot to charge the phone last night lol
