How did you flash the CWM recovery?
with rooting guide. After this i tried to rflash it with ROM manager. From rom manager i can reboot into recovery (CWM) fine. But not from hboot.. (it will be loaded system android recovery)
i read smth in threade for some another phone, that there is two files, which need to be removed via adb.
So... if it's right - what files exactly ?
Uhm, are you S-OFF?
How do you mean stock recovery?
You can't flash any recovery if your not S-OFF most recovery's are fake flash recovery's which is just almost the same except you need adb or a zip file on your SD.
(if you don't know what S-OFF is, search the development section(explaining wouldn't be as good and as complete)
i'm s-on
so without s-off i can't use full functional ?)
Use fake flash as stated before. There's not much profit from S-OFF unless you're a dev, or you need to write files to /system on-the-fly.

Ya, search for the CWM 3 Update.zip in dev-section, push it on the root of your SD and start into stock recovery. Now push vol-up+power and navigate with the volume keys to flash update.zip now you are in CWM without starting the app.
Ps: you have to rename the downloaded recovery file to update.zip

Download the attached file, name it update.zip, place it in the root of your sdcard and like stated above, u're ready to go.
Just run the "apply sdcard:update.zip" and u'll boot right into CWM!

Hi,
I traded a phone with someone and the rom they had was acting up.. the Infected Rom (cdma verizon)... When I got the phone, I told him he could keep his SD card and I could keep mine.. i guess the P something image file was on there and now Im just rooted with Teamwin recovery and not able to flash any rom or restore the Infected rom i nandroid backed up.
I have fastboot 1.50 S On but unlocked
Now imma be at work and not have a working phone. This isn't cool. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME IF YOU CAN HELP peeps. I would really appreciate it.
I also tried the unlocking method all over again but the Java SDK wont install.. it tells me to disable my virus protection (I did) and then it says unable to install it. This is just a mess man.

If you're interested in reverting back to completely stock, the RUU files are available at http://www.goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . Both the PG86IMG.zip and the .exe files are available there.
Interesting the device is flashed to verizon, at least you mention the device is on CDMA verizon. The only issues I can forsee here will be 3G data/MMS might not work via Verizon if using a stock Sprint ROM.
Of course, these *might* work and they can also be *tweaked* but I doubt, out of the box, they will work. Phone calls and SMS should work over verizon using the stock sprint ROM.
Here is my usual lecture, reading this will save you a lot of time and headache, regarding flashing a ROM and kernels on the EVO 3D with hboot 1.5 and htc's unlock method:
Essentially, if you're looking to flash a kernel or ROM (which many times also include a kernel), there are three basic methods (two seem the easier) with hboot 1.50 and htc's unlock method:
1) For Kernel Flashing: From Android mode, using my application, Flash Image GUI. Put the kernel .zip file on your sdcard, select from inside the application and flash.
For ROM Flashing: Pull out the kernel file (usually named boot.img) out of the ROM .zip and push to sdcard. Flash using Flash Image GUI.
If you're away from a computer and want to flash any kernel, this is a great tool!
2) Load the custom recovery, NOT using the traditional method (reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc), but a specific method for Hboot 1.5. From the prompt use: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img.
This will temporarily boot the custom recovery image and the HTC unlock method will grant it write access to the boot partition while in this mode.
In this temporarily booted recovery mode, when a full ROM (with kernel included) is flashed, the kernel will flash correctly.
3) Boot into recovery using the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc, and after the custom recovery has loaded, flash the ROM. Reboot into fastboot mode and then separately flash the kernel from the computer: fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img.
Downside to this method would be if a zImage is included instead of the boot.img for the kernel, won't flash correctly.
Being without a phone is rough now a days! Hope that helps and points in the right direction!
so sorry.. i meant to say CDMA Sprint.. i probably was so frustrated and typed verizon. I am about to read what you post completly.
Thank you so much for the reply! I purchased the GUI App from the market a few days ago and I wasnt sure if it would work on my phone because that PG86IMG.zip wasn't on the root of my SD card (it's on the other guy's sd card) I will try your method to flash a ROM.
I was able to get the Rom restored from the nandroid backup someone last night.. I still need a new rom because this one has touch screen problems. Thanks again

Hi frozen91,
This is simpler than that. You need to install the PC application Streak_iLikeMyGPhone from link.
With this application first install superboot and install recovery after and we have installed the clorckworkmod recovery.
We can install from update.zip superuser.zip or install a custom rom with the superuser already installed.
I hope you understand me, my english is not very good.
Actually, the rooting process is even more simple than what you posted, which you would have discovered upon reading the "Everything you always wanted to know about the Streak but were too busy bricking it" thread.
No one-click rooting tools of any kind are needed and in fact are not recommended. Flash the recovery then immediately boot into the recovery instead of letting the Streak boot normally. From there flash superuser.zip and voilá, you're rooted.

The method that I posted is the unic method wich I rooted and intalled clockworkmod recovery in my device. I tried with diferents methods and I get only with this method.
I could do with other methods in froyo 2.2
Well, Clockworkmod has issues on the Streak. You should be using StreakMod Recovery instead.
I don't run a Linux box, though I am familiar with Linux and have used it in the recent past. However, even with Linux you don't need a one-click rooting tool. Linux binaries for Fastboot and ADB are readily available. A cursory search with Google turned up this page. While it assumes the user is running Debian, the setup should apply to any flavor of Linux.
It doesn't matter which OS you have. No one-click root tools are needed to root a Streak because the rooting process hasn't changed from Froyo to Gingerbread. You still load the recovery first using Fastboot on your computer, immediately boot into the recovery, then load the SU binary.

Could you please break that down for me. Ive read up on every thread on rooting but i cant seem to understand how to rename the recovery file (where to go to rename it) so it wont be overwritten when it reboots.
Thanks.
a friend gave me his legend so i can update it to a better rom
i'm planing on CM7.2 KANG build
the phone is stock, from local operator...
S-ON
HBOOT: 0.43.0003
RADIO: 7.08.35.21
FW: 2.1-update1
baseband: 47.39.35.09U_7.08.35.21
build: 2.05.461.52 CL218650
i know that i can SOFF it via a tool HTC has released but i also know that i don't really need it and i can use CM even with C-ON (am i right?)
most root guides i see are for 1.01 and not 0.43 so i prefer asking then killing the phone
You don't want to unlock the bootloader with HTC's tool! You can flash the Alpharev bootloader! That one allows everything, even downgrading.
REMEMBER: ROOTING WILL VOID WARRANTY AND YOU ACCEPT FULL RESPONSEBILITY!!
To root if you have S-OFF:
- First download any rooted rom (eg the 7.2 KANG rom) and CWM recovery (You want the S-OFF .img file): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290841 Put the rooted ROM on your SD card. You'l need the recovery later.
- Download fastboot (I uploaded it for you to make it easier: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33521967/fastboot.exe) Then put fastboot in a folder. Also put the CWM recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then do Shift + Right click on the folder and chose "open command prompt here" then do
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img
Now turn of your phone then press volume down + power at the same time. Navigate to recovery using the volume buttons. Then press the power button. Now the phone should boot in Clockworkmod recovery.
Now you can use the trackball of your phone to scroll down to install zip from SD card en click on the trackball to choose that option. Now select choose zip from SD card. Now you'll see the contents of your SD card. Scroll down the .zip file of the rooted ROM you downloaded and click on the trackball again. Now choose Yes - Install ............. (WARNING THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON THE PHONE!) after a succesfull install of the ROM you have a rooted device!
i tried Alpharev made problems
i used this guide to downgrade to 1.13 and root
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-legend/
in the CWM S-on option
do i rename the zip file to update.zip?
If you don't want S-OFF you can use that guide the unlocker. And if you use the S-ON CWM then you use FakeFlash, You have to rename the CWM zip package to update.zip, boot up in recovery, then select update.zip, you'll get CWM recovery.
But if you want S-OFF, what problems do you have with Alpharev? With S-OFF it's way easier, you don't need to downgrade ur ROM, you can just flash anything, like I said in my previous post.
ITS ALIVE!!!

I been searching around all over the place and I am just hitting my head against the wall. Any help would be appreciated.
This is my setup: hboot 1.5 S-ON, I have unlocked using the HTC method. I have Revolutionary CWM recovery installed.
I am looking to update the Kernel and Radio/PRI of the phone to the latest versions. (I haven't done it in a very long time.)
By what I read, since I have hboot 1.5 updating the kernel seems close to impossible. I did read that I may have to go to a Stock Rom and update via sprint OTA to get the latest updates then unlock again? That doesnt sound right to me.
I am all types of confused. Part of this was started because I wanted to try the MeanROM (link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466362) and also update my phone. Everything I try to do fails or I cant do because of the 1.5 or the S-ON.
Hopefully i am making some sense. I dont know what I have to do to get the latest kernel or if it even is possible.
If you are rooted already the only thing you need to do is install flash GUI app (you can get it in the market) and flash the kernel (boot.img) file before you flash the ROM and you should be OK
There is a myth that if your on 1.5 s-on your doomed, that's not true. It does mean that you'll need an extra step to do things but you'll be able to get things done without issues.

If your firmware is compatible with the Rom and kernel yes. If not, you will brick your phone or features will not work as they have to do. After you install flash GUI go to browse button and you will be advertised that file is too large for a kernel or recovery image, then asks if it is a valid Rom zip file. Tap yes and it will search the kernel inside the Rom. After it finishes tap flash and after reboot in recovery(you have to have recovery.img in root of your SD card), next wipe dalvik and cache, install zip and wait until the phone finishes. It is also recommended to you to make a nandroid backup before install anything.

For the EVO 3D, much like the EVO 4G, the custom ROMs generally do not contain the radio or pri images.
There are some different reasons for this, but one of the common reasons being some users claim to experience different radio performance based on their geographic loation in relation to different versions of the radio and pri images.

The only clarification to this post would be having recovery.img in the root of your SD card is not required for rebooting into recovery mode. In order for a custom recovery to load, when rebooting into recovery mode, the recovery.img has to have been flashed previously. Flash Image GUI can also flash the recovery.img to the recovery partition so when you reboot into recovery, the proper custom recovery loads. Most users flash custom recoveries infrequently when compared to how often they flash ROMs so the process for flashing the recovery process isn't covered as often.
In general, regarding the OP's original question of flashing the "MeanROM", the Flash Image GUI thread provides a great beginner step by step guide I wrote to help walk thru the general overview and process. I've quoted it below for easy reference.
Appreciate all the support of Flash Image GUI! I'll echo the optimism for hboot 1.5 s-on unlocked users, most everything is still possible. HTC just requires an extra few steps which can be frustrating, but once they are learned, the process is fairly smooth.
Hope the clarification helps iron out any confusion on the details!
HTC Unlock - Hboot 1.5 Users Guide for ROMs with a Kernel (boot.img file):
1) Unlock using HTC method for Hboot 1.5 users
2) Load this application, Flash Image GUI, onto the device, either through the Market or the link provided in this OP.
3) Download ROM .zip file to the sdcard on the device.
4) Open up Flash Image GUI, select Browse and select the ROM .zip file, downloaded to /sdcard in the previous step.
5) Flash Image GUI will provide a warning, reminding that the ROM .zip file will *need* to be flashed in the custom recovery afterward.
6) Flash Image GUI will index the full ROM .zip file searching for the kernel and kernel modules. Once located, the Flash Image button should be enabled.
7) Select the Flash Image button and Flash Image GUI will load the kernel modules and kernel from inside the ROM zip file.
8) Select reboot recovery.
9) Inside the custom recovery, load/flash the ROM zip file.
10) Reboot to normal Android mode and all should work including Wifi!

Really didn't want to make a new thread about this but honestly people just jumped to conclusions without being helpful in my previous thread.
Long story short I'm trying to manually get 4.4.2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664561
I saw that I needed to get s-off, which requires root. Bootloader was already unlocked and so did everything here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273376
I installed CWM. It said to install a superuser tool so I installed SuperSU.
"You're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead." was the next line. <-- I saw that message. Installed a kernel that he recommended: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900
After reboot I get SuperSU error: There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device etc.
Can anyone help me get the proper SU Binary installed? Not a beginner to rooting as I've had had several previous phones before. Never encountered something as annoying as this.
On 4.3, 3.17.502.3.
I had the same issue when I installed 4.4.2 on my international One.
What I done to root was;
- downloaded SuperSU v1.80 zip from here.
- download SuperSu from the Play Store
- in SuperSU, select the option to install binaries via TWRP/CWM. (If it doesn't reboot to recovery, manually enter recovery)
- flash the supersu v1.80 zip and reboot
- open SuperSu and install the binaries using the normal option.
That then enabled my root. I'd tried quite a few different variations and this was the only method that worked for me.

You seem very confused about the whole rooting process ... what was the point in flashing the stock recovery ? Are you trying to install the OTAPkg.zip ?

and yes it is necessary to have stock recovery to take an OTA, but your post didn't mention taking OTA it said you had no SU installed.
to get into stock recovery
boot to bootloader
choose recovery
wait for black screen, hold vol up and then power
you will see something about sdcard fail .. ignore it till the menu comes up
then choose to flash OTAPkg.zip from sdcard
