18/Nov 2.5.1.2 r2: ClockworkMod recovery for HTC Desire HD

paulobrien · Nov 17, 2010

I'm pleased to present my ClockworkMod recovery for the HTC Desire HD (aka HTC Ace / HTC Spade). This recovery has been built and setup by me and is in no way endorsed buy Koush, so please don't ask him for support!

I am still testing this recovery, so caution is advised and you use it at your own risk!

You will need the ENG HBOOT installed on your device to flash this recovery!

You can load recovery by powering on the device with 'Volume Down' pressed and selecting the 'recovery' option, by using 'adb recovery', by installing 'Quick Boot' from the Market or by installing 'ROM Manager' from the market.

Navigation in the recovery image as follows:

Volume Up / Down to move between options
Power key to select an option
Select 'go back' option to go back

Step by step install instructions

Download 2.5.1.2 r1 ClockworkMod Recovery for Desire HD - DOWNLOAD
Download fastboot if you do not have it already.
Turn off your phone and take out the battery. Unplug the phone from the PC / charger.
Replace the battery and turn the phone back on with 'volume down' held, then select 'fastboot' (using the power button).
Plug the phone into the PC.
Extract the fastboot zip file.
From a command prompt (at the directory containing these new files!) run 'fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-ace-modaco-r2.img' (subsituting 'fastboot-mac' or 'sudo fastboot-linux' as required)
When this finishes, from the command prompt run 'fastboot-windows reboot' (again substituting 'fastboot-mac' or 'sudo fastboot-linux' as required)
Done!

The changelog is in the next post.

xmoo · Nov 17, 2010

Yeeeey, gonna try asap

nickwarn · Nov 17, 2010

can we flash straight over test recovery? No extra steps needed?

forelli · Nov 17, 2010

Same as above+ if not, could someone linux-literate explain us how to remove the test recovery please?

Kumho15 · Nov 17, 2010

Ohh Thats sounds good to me.
I have the German hboot version, how can i flash this recovery?

Thanks

Works like a charm, no more 3 time scrolling to activate the power button.

Recovery seem to be working ok just like the test. But I still find it strange that I cant mount the SD card if I boot to the recovery using the Volume down and power method. The only way I can mount is to boot using the ROM manager. (By the way, I have the S-OFF and root).

paulobrien · Nov 17, 2010

That's weird, i'll look into that.

easier, than the RaiderX303 recovery, as it is not needed to go down 3 times to get back menu option and power selection.

I just flashed in fastboot, and it works perfect.

just flash it as you flashed the test recovery!

The only thing you can mount is the system, data, and cache. Well the sd-ext (I dont think work, since I dont have ext partition on my SD card yet). I dont even know if we need to partition Ext with the HD rom? (Personally I dont think we need)

Anyway Paul...thanks heaps man...you are the man

Another Feedback:

Both Backup and restore tested working just fine....even restoring from the backup created by the test recovery just fine.

Don't we need S-OFF device in order to use fastboot commands?

jkoljo · Nov 17, 2010

That's the ENG hboot, and yes, it is needed.

I asked because it's not mentioned in the first post

Some people might be confused...

forelli · Nov 17, 2010

How do I remove the test recovery please?

Just overwrite with this one.
Or extract the original recovery from rom.zip (of the stock rom you using)
