The thing that sucks is newer people root and then d/l ROM Manager and as soon as they open it it says "hey flash this new broke a$$ recovery." So they do it cuz newer is better right?? Then we get 43 threads titled my ROM won't flash/backup won't restore/ yadda yadda yadda.

I don't know if that thread has the most up to date version. You may have to go over to Rootzwiki to get the newest build but I'm not sure.

Ok cool. Sorry Sheathunderboilt wasn't trying to be a jerk. I was just starting to wonder if the confusing wording of the questions was intentional.
Anyway, I think your going to have to provide a little more info before anyone can be of much help.

Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Have you tried turning the phone off then holding volume down + power untill the bootloader screen appears and then manually selecting recovery? ROM Manager tends to have issues.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
Yeah I did do that!& when i do the HTC pops up and goes right back to boot loader

reinstall rom manager and flash one ot the older cwm like the 4.0.1.5 not the 5.x.x.x
Try reflashing Clockwork recovery by following the instructions in [url="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179386]this[/url] thread. It sounds like your recovery got screwed up or wiped out somehow. Use version 5.0.2.1. I think the version 5 issues are fixed in that one. If you still have issues try using one of the version 4.x ones.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
Thanks guys I did it and got my phone and just FYI version five don't work on my tb so I will stay away from ROM manager!!!!! I still couldn't do a back up in recovery cuz it says error on restoring boot image ,once!again o beloved my SD card corrupt

Prl/profile update problems

I get a vdm client quits when i try to update my prl or profile. Can anybody help? First happend on clean rom 2.5 so i flashed viper 1.3 and still have the problem.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
If you haven't already try doing a clean install of whatever ROM you decide to stick with. Then, try running the updates before any titanium backups or anything like that. Also, are you on HBOOT 1.5,4, or 3? Are you using Rev's method of root or HTC's? If HTC make sure you're using the fast boot method when flashing the ROMs as to have a matching kernel along with them. Hope something here helps.
Maybe it is titanium backup. Thats the only things that have changed since the problem started.

Oh and, for future reference, this thread should have been posted in the q & a section. Letting you know lest you get flamed in the future.
Thanks. This seems like the other 200 questions on general, so i guess ill never understand what goes where.

How many people have unlocked using HTC's method?

How many people have unlocked using HTC's method? And how did it work? You like it?
I did...on a Mac at that too. It was easy...no problems.
I've done it on my win7 machine. Process went smoothly, no problems. Only draw is you have to use fastboot to flash ramdisks/kernels. no biggie
Does using the HTC method affect Sprint Insurance at all?

Me. I used the HTCevohacks method. I just liked the fact that he included all the stuff in one download rather than downloading multiple things from HTC.
Everything works well. The fact that you have to boot into recovery through fastboot is a bit annoying. Can't just download a ROM manager, download a ROM and flash it. But it isn't too bad.
I've got infected ROM with ziggy kernel and OC to 1.6. No problems.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
ego disseravi cum HTC
was easy and worked perfectly on my mac. no setup at all cuz i already had fastboot and adb. just run one command, copy the code, download the unlocktoken, and flash!
sucks to have to boot into recovery from fastboot boot every time i wanna flash a nightly tho...

It "shouldn't" affect the insurance unless it can be proven that your mods are what caused the problem with you phone. Hard to prove and can be hard to disprove.
That's the only reason I am waiting for a non-HTC method of rooting. I like to keep the rooting under the radar just so they don't have a chance to use it against me some day. Call me paranoid.

I agree about droidstyles guide. I flashed TSM Resurrection and runnin smooth.i do have a small problem. I flashed cmall.tar and have red recovery. Rom manager wants me to flash cwm recovery and prompt me to choose my phone (epic 4g or s-i9000) do I choose one or do something else?

[Q] Kernel questions

I'm thinking of installing flapjaxxx kernel on my i717 running black star x, will this dump my current settings and contacts?
And what are the steps to do this (running cwm)?
It shouldn't. All I did was boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, then install from sd card.

No it will not. Make sure you use the correct kernel.

Ended horribly lol. Phone wouldn't go past load screen. Had to reinstall the Rom. Oh well, after the wipe the whole thing seems more stable.

That should have worked for you as long as you were on Blackstar X and not xi
It was definitely x. It was getting buggy and unstable though. Not sure why, maybe i restored too much w ti. This round im doing all fresh installs.

Glad you got it running. No telling what the issue was before
I bricked my phone, I want to know why
Hi.
First of all I apologize for my not so good English.
The thing is that I hard bricked my note i717 by flashing a wrong kernel and now I know that JTAG is my only option, but I want to know if they are going to be able to bring my phone back to life, I don't live in the US that is the reason why I want to be 100% sure before I send it.
I was experiencing some problems with the USB not being recognized by any computer, after searching and reading a lot of post it came dawn to an incompatible kernel (something to do with the fast-charge option) so I´ve tried to flash a fast-charge compatible kernel but I downloaded it wrong and BAM!!! my phone is just a brick now (kinda useful to hold the door)
Full info:
I had the stock AT&T rom, then flashed some other roms without problems until this one:
cm-10.1-20130304-experimental-quincyatt-m2, that's where the USB problems began... after that one I had pa_quincatt-2.57-20120122-201611 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686320)
My question is:
Is it possible to connect the device(you know the JTAG method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0SX3iDuIZc ) now that it is hardbricked even if it wasn't recognized before bricking?
I appreciate the responses in advance. :laugh::laugh:
