Greetings,
Here is a simple step-by-step method for taking a virgin Hermes to HardSP-V7 and fully upgraded radio and ROM of choice. This method is especially usefull for those on Vista and Mac machines, it's also somewhat safer and MUCH faster than using RUU to flash your device. From initial download to completely upgrade device took me about an hour, all done before my first phone call.
This is intended for those who HAVE READ the Wiki and the forums, but don't know what to do first, and for those who don't want to use the old-school USB cable methods. All of this is simply gathered info from other posts and guides written by people much more clever than I, and is IN NO WAY meant to be a substitute for reading the Wiki and the forums. I spent days reading everything on this site and so should you. If you jump into something you don't understand and brick your phone, it's not my fault.
FROM BOX TO ROCKS SD-CARD UPDATE GUIDE
[1.]Read the WIKI and as many forum threads as you can, at the very least read all of the stickies.
[2.]Start by gathering all of the files you will need in one place for easy access. For bookeeping purposes I recommend that you put each one in it's own folder. You will need:
Hard-SP-V7
Radio Upgrade- XDA-Dev has a great list of extracted radio ROMS here, I use 1.43.00.00
ROM of Choice (I used Shaps WWE 3.0C, he's got a lot other languages for this ROM as well, chck the thread)
[3.]Use WinRar to open each of the compressed files you downloaded, in each one there should be TWO files, take the filed called "RUU_signed.nbh" and extract it to the same folder. Be sure not to get these mixed up as they all have the same file name, hence the individual folders.
[4.]Use a card reader or your laptop's SD slot to format an SD card, make sure you select FAT32. After formatting do a disk check and select the "fix errors" option.
[5.]IF your SD is healthy, move the unzipped "RUU_signed.nbh" file from the Hard-SP-V7 folder to the root of the SD card.
[6.]Turn on your phone and put the SD card in.
[7.]AFTER transferring the file and putting the SD in your phone, use the phones file explorer to change the name of the "RUU_signed.nbh" file to hermimg.nbh (be sure not to add a superfluous .nbh when you do this, DO NOT change the .nbh extension..ever). The flash is much more reliable when you change the name ON THE PHONE, I have no idea why, but when i do it this way it works everytime.
[8.]After changing the filename and exiting the file manager you'll need to enter the bootloader. To do so, simultaneously press the left-side OK key, the power button, and use the stylus to press the reset button on the bottom of the phone. This open the bootloader, the screen will go white and say "loading," then it will ask you to press the power button to confirm the upgrade, do so.
[9.]About one second later you get confirmation and have flashed Hard-SP-V7
, your phone is now pseudo-SuperCid and much more resistant to bricking. Do a soft reset to exit bootloader by pressing the reset button on the bottom of the phone.
[10.]Pop out the SD and put it back in the card reader and delete the "hermimg.nbh." Now on your PC navigate to the folder where you extracted the radio upgrade, copy the unzipped 'RUU_signed.nbh" file to your SD card, put it back in the phone, and use the phones File manager to change the name to HERMIMG.NBH.
[11.] Repeat step 8. The radio upgrade is the slowest, and takes about 5 minutes, it may appear to hang, but don't worry, the progress bar is a bit jumpy, everything should be OK.
[12.] You have now upgraded the Radio, confirm by checking the radio version in the System INFO tab of the setting menu.
[13.] You guessed it, delete "hermimg.nbh" from the card, replace it with the extracted "RUU_signed.nbh" from the ROM version zip you downloaded, put the SD in the phone, change the name to HERMIMG.nbh, and enter the bootloader VIA method in step 8.
[14.] Congratulations, you have now upgraded the SPL, the radio, and flashed a new ROM, all without installing drivers, using cables, running .exe's or anything else, all in about an hour.
[15.] Follow onscreen instructions to set up the phone.
[16.] pop out the SD and delete the .nbh file, otherwise it will try and flash your phone next time you enter the bootloader.
[17.] Load your new phone with Apps and enjoy!
MANY, MANY thanks to all who make this place what it is, too many to mention. Sites like this one are examples of how the Internet has changed the world forever. I'll be making a full tutorial with screenshots and better instruction over the next day or so and will put it in the WIKI.
Very nice writeup Mlalahoi.
Coud have used this i was a flash virgin
Props to you.
Thanks Charon
unable to install Hard-SPL-V7
Hi
I done all the steps you mentioned but i am still unable to install the Hard-SPL-V7.
After copying hermimg.nbh to card and going to boot loader it shows loading ... and then again comes back to boot loader without installing the Hard-SPL.
Please advise....
Thanks,
Malik
Format card FAT32, hermimg.nbh must be how its spelled...
This is a guide I've compiled to simplify Androidiani theming on the XT720. Took me forever to read posts & work through trial & error... credit to Kalagas & Zepplin Rox for the majority of this post, I just compiled into one guide.
------------------------------------------------------------
1st install Open Recovery
If you already have open recovery, but not andriodiani, download Androidiani to your desktop.
Open the zip & copy the “open recovery” folder to your sdcard root (copies over all previous OR files).
Copy the “update.zip” file from Androidiani to your sd card root & leave it there (nothing else to do with this file at this point).
Then boot your phone into recovery (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
You should have the androidiani menu above the standard OR menu.
Just reboot your phone to normal operating android os.
Download the desired theme to your desktop from theme developer.
Use windows/linux via usb to create the following folders on your sd card, you have to create the folders manually the 1st time, 1-4 below:
1) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/apps/All modded .apks
2) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/bootanimation/empty
3) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/fonts/empty
4) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/framework/framework-res.apk
Open the theme zip & copy the files to their respective folders you just created.
OK lets go for it....
Reboot into Androidiani OpenRecovery . (power up, when 1st boot animation appears, hold down the ‘volume up’ key).
Just to be sure make Wipe cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik-cache.
Then choose Froyo 2.2.1 Modding Menu - Menu Install and Restore Theme - Install Theme, pick the install option and let it finish.
After Theme is installed, make again Wipe cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik-cache and Reboot.
You should have your new theme up & running.
Go Pack Go!
Do you have any links to some themes?

What am I supposed to install the update.zip file? Just copy it the the sd card root and leave it there? Or is there a menu option in Androidiani/OR that I'm supposed to choose? Little confused at that point. I can reboot into Open Recovery and there's a multicoloured droid in the background (as opposed to a straight green one).

I did indeed get it working sort of, Thank you! I lost access to the menu that pops up when you hit the power button (the shutdown/airplane mode). The phone would just power the screen down and then rebooted immediately.
As such I'm going back to square one and reflashing it back to 2.1, and try upgrading to 2.2 again. Not as bad as it sounds... since my 32GB class 10 sd card arrived this morning.

P.S. I re-read my original message and it came off sounding a bit rude, please attribute it to lack of sleep and accept my apologies.

I don't think you need to go back to a 2.1 SBF, just nandroid >> restore the desired version.

This sounds like a new topic... start a new thread... this is the problem with forums... I started this thread so people don't need to sort thru unnecessary BS to figure out Androidiani & Androidiani applied thmes for the XT720. Just sayin...

The Androidiani Open Recovery is a modded version of OC, It just adds additional functionality. No reason not to use it IMHO.

Try copying this file to the root directory of your sdcard.
If that doesn't work try using the Install option in Dexter's System Recovery app.

OK! I am not sure if this question was answered anywhere in these postings. But, IF I chose to update my Amaze 4G to the new ICS ROM that has been included in other posts, will I be able to revert back to stock GB?
I have downloaded the file, placed it on my SD card, renamed the file, pulled and inserted the battery, held down power button/volume down button. The file has populated and now its asking me if I want to update.
Before updating, please tell me if there are there any known issues with this particular build? I surely don't want to brick my phone. Any advice would be awesome. Thank you!
Did you check the ROM post for that particular one you downloaded to see if there were any issues with it? Or if any other users were having issues from wherever you downloaded it from?

Yea, but I cannot find anything! UGH!!! There are supposed to be detailed instructions, but I cannot find them in the 40+ pages. UGH!!!
Simple. If you're stock like mine was with S-ON
1. Take the zip file. Rename to 'PH85IMG.zip'
2. Place file in Mobile card aka ext_sd (Not HTC storage)
3. Check battery is at least 50% charged.
4. Remove battery, replace battery.
5. Hold power AND volume down button to reboot.
6. Phone will go into boot mode and find the new file, wait for it to extract it. Follow screen instructions
7. Phone does a quick check of file contents then shuts off.
8. Hold power to reboot.
9. File is unzipped and update occurs.
10. Phone asks you to reboot, volume up for yes.
11. Enjoy ICS 3.6!
Also, since I was not rooted, I wanted all the same settings/home screen/apps/data. I used MyBackup Pro and everything went flawlessly. Just make sure the file contents are backed up to your external card and not internal. Also copy MyBackup pro app to your SD. Once updated your internal files are erased!!! I was paranoid and just backed up my HTC Storage folder to my computer too, but I'm pretty sure it's not necessary
---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
Also, I haven't had any issues except with Facebook contact updates. Just use the Syncmypix app. And a few apps from GB wouldn't install, they were minor and old, but I assume this is from lack of ICS support.
I do believe you can just download the stock rom, rename it, put it on your sd card and flash through your bootloader.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
I've seen numerous people asking numerous times in the same thread on how to use OASVN to update to the latest release. So I figured I would go ahead and make my first contribution to help everyone out.
1. Download OASVN 'AND' 7Zipper from the Play Store
2. Open OASVN
3. Click "Add Repository"
4. Under "Name" feel free to type whatever you want your repository to be called
5. Under "Repository URL" enter: http://evo-4g-lte-sense5-port.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
6. Under "Local Folder" you will see something like "/storage/sdcard0/OASVNlite/"Leaving that input will make your internal storage the primary download location for the trunk/checkout/ROM files (whatever you would like to consider those files to be called). Keep in mind: The files can get pretty heavy (big in size...) and take up a lot of space. Feel free to change that location if you want.
7. Click "Save"
8. Click your repository
9. Click "Checkout" and let the app do what it does (downloads the files you need)NOTE: IT IS BEST TO BE ON WiFi OR A STABLE 4G CONNECTION!
You will see "Operation in progress, please wait..." and "Performing Checkout!!!"
This can take a very long time depending on your connection speed.
10. Notice that your "Revision" changed from "0" to what should be the latest release/revision from googlecode and is ready to zipped up.
11. Get to the menu on the top right and click "Export Local Copy"
12. Decide where you would like to export the copy that you'd like to zip up and flash.Do NOT use your "Local Folder" unless you would like a migraine. You can use that folder ONLY if you export the copy to a different folder in that location. For example: "/storage/sdcard0/OASCNlite/r98" or whatever folder name you desire.
I use my external Class 10, 32gb SD Card by using "/sdcard2/*desired-name*" and have it saved there.
Also, since my OCD gets the best of me at times, I create a new folder for each export and save it as the revision number. I'm pretty sure you can use the same export folder over and over but I've never done so. I like to be super neat and really messy (don't ask please... thanks).
NOTE: Using your internal SD Card may save you a bit of time.
13. A "success" message should prompt briefly after the export has completed and your files will be where you directed them.
14. Open up 7Zipper and tap the screen.
15. Click "System Folder" and head to the location of your exported copy. For example: "/storage/sdcard0/OASVNlite/r98/"
16. Press the green check-mark button near the top of 7ZipperAND select ONLY THESE FILES/FOLDERS!
1. data
2. kernel
3. META-INF
4. system
5. boot.imgTHEN click the button underneath the red "X" to the right of where the green check-mark was (it looks like an image of a pull-down menu which is what it actually does... pulls down a menu).
17. Click "Create Zip"
18. Enter whatever name you'd like to call your .zip file that you will be flashing/installing.
19. Select your "Compress Level" that says "Default" by default (imagine that...)NOTE: IT IS BEST TO USE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE COMPRESSION LEVEL! WHY!? I HAVE NO IDEA! THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS TOLD SO THAT IS WHAT I DO! Lol. Using your Internal SD Card may save you a bit of time but if you didn't export your local copy to your internal SD Card then your S.O.L. since it'll save the .zip in the same folder that you selected your exported copy files/folders.
LET 7ZIPPER DO WHAT IT DOES! I haven't had any problems letting it run in the background while doing other things but of course you will notice a slight decrease in performance.
20. Reboot into your Recovery and flash the .zip that you just created.
SUCCESS! Hopefully.
I've seen a script you can use that was made by one of the members of the Alliance Dev Team working on the s5port. I'm not 100% who everyone was that incorporated that so if you want credit please send me a PM and I'll edit this post with proper credentials. I believe it was il duce though.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON A GOOD CONNECTION! WiFi preferred.
3G will work but it will take forever. Forever isn't an exaggeration either.
LTE will work but you risk losing connection.
Open up Terminal app
Type su
Type s5port
let Terminal do its thing
NOTE: This process will take some time no matter what you do. Just let it do its thing. It downloads the files it needs and then zips them up for you to flash. This is a hassle-free method, if you will. I believe that's about it.
Good looking out
BTW first

Just tried this over my home wifi, says I have rev109. When I went in to my system folder through 7Zipper I didn't see a data folder or the boot.img - is that normal?
EDIT: I went ahead and zipped up what I had just to see what would happen, and I definitely must have done something wrong because the finished zip is only 105mb.

Hey, this happened to me too. It is probably because your download failed or you ran out of space on your internal SD card. I went into Settings and then Storage and clicked on "Misc" under Internal storage and deleted the OASVN files, redownloaded, and it worked. Give that a shot!
I also followed all instructions and it was also missing the boot.img. I just downloaded the file directly and zipped it all up and all was fine.

Thanks for your help. I tried again from scratch and basically got the same thing - no data and no boot.img. I have enough room on internal storage and have lots on my SD card, so I know space isn't the issue.
Maybe this is my phone's way of telling me I should just wait till it's released as a flashable zip, haha.
i'm getting the same thing, only a 108ish mb zip.. tried a couple times..
If you're not getting all of the files that means your download wasn't 100% successful. Happens a lot. Just need to Update or do another checkout.

Run the cleanup option on OASVN and try it all over again. Just be sure to have it plugged in and connected with a good connection... It takes a while. I got it to work for me.

Download needs to complete. Make sure you're in a stable WiFi or LTE area. Do what the post above you says or you can do update, or you can delete working copy and checkout again.

Best to save a lot of time by making sure all of the files have downloaded before performing the export of the local copy. I haven't used OASVN in quite some time since I just got my replacement and haven't done any S-OFF yet so I can't test to see if there's just an issue with the program or anything... Worked fine every time I used it last month though.

Worst case scenario: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22901594685177970
Ok, I have root and have used it quite effectivly as well as the apps/programs available. That is, until now. While tired and foggy headed, I went ahead and copied a file into my System folder. However, the way I did it was oh so very stupid. Instead of actually copying the file itself over, I decided to copy the System folder that 1 file was sitting in over onto the device. Oh lucky day, doing that wiped everything but that one file from the System folder so that my phone had a heart attack and I had to pull the battery. Saying a prayer to the Root Gods, I turned my phone back on and, you guessed it, it went to the recovery screen with the happy Update Android sitting there. Due to not having a recovery image or file to be able to recover my phone, I am in need of some assistance. I hope someone out there can help me. Any further questions for me, please ask.
I really hope someone can help me with this.

Don't have an LG Realm myself but I couldn't really understand the problem. Is it a Qcom or MTK device? Can you access recovery? Can you access ROM? Can you access Emergency/Download Mode? Does the device turn on?
I am attaching a pocture of the screen. After i wiped out the root system folder, the phone had to be hard restarted so i pulled the battery. When the phone went to restart, it didnt go to the loading screen. It went to the Android System Recovery screen. The android Installing System Update screen is there and all i can do is use the volume keys to go between options. One of them is Apply Update From External Sdcard, the rest are to apply from inside the phone, which cant happen because of my goof up.

I am attaching a pocture of the screen. After i wiped out the root system folder, the phone had to be hard restarted so i pulled the battery. When the phone went to restart, it didnt go to the loading screen. It went to the Android System Recovery screen. The android Installing System Update screen is there and all i can do is use the volume keys to go between options. One of them is Apply Update From External Sdcard, the rest are to apply from inside the phone, which cant happen because of my goof up. It also says E:missing bitmap stage_empty and missing stage_fill.

What happens when you are pressing power button when on reboot system now?
I have actually tried all the options. Reboot brings me back to that screen after the LG splash screen. The other options look for the recovery in the phone, which is not there. That was why i was looking for a possible recovery file to put on my sdcard and use the external sdcard option.

How you managed to delete /system partition describe me please. The thing is that I don't find any Stock Rom you can flash... Well tell me how you got it deleted and if you made a backup somehow first.
Like i said in my op, i never did anything this stupid before. I ended up copying another system folder on top of the original. The one i copied only had 1 file in it that was for my signal. However, when it copied over, it replaced the folder with everything needed to keep my android phone working with the folder with just the one file. And like an idiot, i never made a backup of my phone after i rooted it. Like i said, i am actually not a beginner at this, just made a big mistake of instead of just moving the one file over.

It's **** we need to flash a new Firmware on your phone nothing where I can fine one there is a way though. Give me a pm with this:
Your IMEI
Your S/N
the name of phone (EX. LG P710) the number and letter if there is not Realm. Ofc IMEI S/N of the phone. Not here in pm .
this sounds exactly like my problem. I have two LG realms. I was messing around with the build.prop on one of them. I saved the original but somehow when I copied and pasted it back into sys file, the phone gets a black screen of death right after the boot screen. I am able to get into the stock recovery, but no further. I'm thinking that a copy of the stock firmware is my only help.
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I have the same problem. Come on, don't leave us hanging please!
