yes first rule is unlock bootloader...posts all around this forum
second is to install cwm recovery, without this u cannot root.
thirdly u need to flash the root.zip file in cwm to enable root itself. easy to do, check out this forum, ive added in some tutorials and guides to help u along the way

how to unlock bootloader
To unlock the bootloader when i visit htcdev.com and select my device,it says hboot update required...now what does that mean?

Exactly as it ssays, update your hboot.
Once updated u can unlock the bootloader. Its safe, we have all done it.
U will need your phone plugged into PC and on charge mode to do that.

make sure your phone is connected to pc and run the update through htcdev, thats it.
it should automatically update it for u.
just make sure phone to pc, select charge option on phone and run the update service in htcev

can you elaborate on this? truer recovery's? we only have 2, I'm also assuming this is when adding recovery to the phone itself?
if you can get a photo or screenshot showing me it may help.

Sorry it was tryed a few recoveries. I have since manages to get root but now my hboot says main version is older and just wants me to reboot phone so can't.access recovery
Sent from my HTC Salsa C510e using xda app-developers app

You're hboot will be the latest. As for recovery we use 5.0.2.6 really. If its not letting you boot into recovery, tends to mean it's not installed correctly. Once recovery is there it can always be accessed. The root itself should have taken care of the basics and given u superuser access.
If u have working root. Go and install superSU from the market, its better. Works faster and has fewer problems. Just remember once u install it. Open the app and update the binary.
This should correct a load of root errors.
If u have to, reinstall recovery again. Could be a bad install.

Which hboot version do you have? When it is 1.08. then it is fine.
How did you flash your recovery? Maybe something went wrong in that step. The only working recoveries are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791707. Commonly used is the ClockworkMod Recovery and a description how to flash is also there.
Maybe do some photos of your screen to find out the problem.

Got root access just I can't I need to.get to hboot to install.recovery or.get to recovery Rom manager just takes me to the hboot screen where it says main version is older its bugging me

when you get to these screens post up your HBOOT version.
You cannot unlock your Bootloader without updating to HBOOT V1.08
right u don't need hboot to install recovery.
u need bootloader/fastboot to install recovery.
connect your cable. pc & phone
select charge option on phone
open a cmd prompt window (DOS)
now you need to follow the adb cmds.
myself i have it loaded as follows, change yours accordingly
c:/cd android-sdk
c:/cd platform-tools
adb reboot bootloader
if you cannot do this via cable then you require to remove the battery, reinsert, hold volume key down and power on.
select fastboot option.
this should take you to the bootloader
now if you have recovery placed in the correct folder ie platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this will install your recovery to your phone.
OR Go here! >http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791707

Sweet I got recovery cheers dude been.driving me mad that has I've just noticed the next thing am doin is a thread by you about creating ext3 to increase internal mem. Lol

[Q] CM 10 Stuck Reboot Issue

Hi,
I would like to begin by thanking all the CM 10 developing team for their fabulous work!
Also, I'm sorry if this is a repost or posting in the wrong area. I searched allover but no one has had this issue on this device. I finally had to make a account as this is my first problem that's why I could not post in the development question.
I recently got the HTC Vivid. I did everything required to install Cyanogenmod mod, i.e. install rom, (I'm S-On) fastboot boot.img, etc...
After I had the phone setup and apps installed, I rebooted the phone. The phone stuck on the Cyanogenmod logo. I knew there was a problem after it did this twice. So, I booted into recovery to reinstall the rom after a full wipe. When selecting "choose zip from internal sd card", it gave "cannot mount internal emmc". I knew I had to start from the beginning as this is a soft brick. So, I relocked the bootloader, reverted to stock, then did everything again.
Again it did the same thing but this time it mounted the internal emmc but it would not boot past the logo.
I tried looking allover, even in other device forums, I did not find anything. PLEASE HELP!
JUST FYI, I AM NOT A DEVELOPER AND ALSO NOT A NOOB! I have rooted all the devices I have owned and I know what I'm doing for the most part. This is the first problem I have ever encountered!
Thanks

Sounds like you are using clockworkmod
Uhhh...
Get twrp or the other recovery...
Then flash that...
Boot to recovery
Mount via USB in recovery
Let windows tell you it needs formatting and format it

Is the problem from cwm then?
Isn't it recommended to use cwm with cm?

No... CWM is not recommended...
Its unofficial and breaks partitions

I did all the above! This time it is stuck on the logo for the first boot up...
I also did RUU back to stock, locked bootloader and did it again.. same result
EDIT:
I did it again and this time it worked! It even rebooted properly. Thanks!

HTC Raider 4G BOOT!!

Hi there,
I've used for a while with AT&T ROM without any problem.
Successfully rooted and CWM installed.
I tried to flash my phone by this ROM using CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2171741
However I failed. My phone didn't work with it.
Now, I cannot go into my CWM anymore. Although I reinstalled it.
I still can access to Bootloader. Select Recovery but it showed some scripts then it couldn't go further.
Anyone can tell me how to fix it?
I am frightened now since my phone is nothing more than garbage now I cannot do anything with my phone
Thank you so much

You're gonna have to relock your bootloader and run the RUU then unlock your bootloader to flash your recovery again, then you'll be able to run your recovery again. Also if you're S-ON, you have to extract the boot.img from the rom you installed and flash it before you install the rom, otherwise the phone won't boot.

Download another recovery to your computer...
Go into hboot... go to fastboot... connect via USB
Fastboot flash recovery (recovery name)
Reboot bootloader... choose recovery

Hello,
I did the way you said and it worked!!
Thank you very much.
Note: I think the ROM I flashed had some kind of weird code that led to the problem.
I used AT&T edition for my Bell Canada phone. RUU said failed during the process, however, that's when I reinstalled my CWM and it works again!
Thank you everyone for helping me with this question!

Get away from CWM...
Switch to TWRP or WCX

Ur welcome and like do what ringfool said CWM doesn't play well with this device. I personally use WCX but switch recovery cuz most of the time roms flash with errors is because of the recovery.

Yes! CWM really works badly on HTC Holiday.
WCX really rocks! It shows everything precisely and large enough to look haha.
Most of ROMs can be flashed using WCX. CWM cannot open some

TWRP for the win...Is that redundant? Flashed it last night, works flawlessly with the cm10 rom

Someone needs too post a really big sign somewhere in these forums that says DO NOT USE CWM I have seen at least 5 guys in the last month getting screwed because of it. :sad:

Help please....boot looping

Ok guys,
Im not even new to flashing phones but no idea what the heck happened....
To cut a long story short I tried Renovate which was great but i couldn't change my keyboard so I figured I maybe selected something wrong in aroma. I reinstalled it over my current set up and chose a different set up and flashed. Done. Great. When i tried to reboot it would just boot loop into the recovery.
Now i searched and saw similar issues which were fixed by relocking, and then unlocking the BL which I did but now its even worse. I can't even get into the bootloader. I can leave the device and it bootloops into the recovery but it fails to mount anything so i cannot flash anything at all....
Anybody please can guide me in the right direction?
THanks

Did you back up before flashing the rom again? Do you have that backup on your sd card?

The phone will NOT boot and is stuck in a bootloop or on HTC startup screen.

Hi there,
I can get into recovery fine again since I found the light trick which does indeed work. Unfortunately as mentioned it wouldn't mount anything like my sdcard etc. I have just tried to format it which worked so I am trying again to sideload to see if that works
as i stand now, the phone is clean with nothing. I can get into fastboot and recovery. CWM installed.Any other ideas please?
cant believe this happened literally from nothing....

do you have the non branded One right?

I think the reason it is not reading your sd is because when you flashed 4.2.2 it moved the data to some other directory.

pull it from the rom zip(boot)and put it in your fastboot directory.

i have not had to install a rom since i got my htc evo 4g lte last year. this is a new step to me. im assuming this is done before installing the rom?

boy, i don't know at this point, you may have borked the radio, i would try to ruu, get back to stock and start all over.keep in mind if you run an RUU you have to relock the bootloader to do so. then you can unlock again and go from there.install recovery etc/

Also, I suggest using the revone s-off method from the revolutionary team. It allows you to flash ROMs more easily without flashing the boot.img separately. The link to the thread on how is in my web signature.
