Hey guys I made something bad to my legend. Now I have to flash .img files throught fastboot, but I've lost my NANDroid of Stock ROM and other NANDroids are not signed and I can't flash them. I can't S-OFF ( I can't turn on the phone, it bootloops, and I can't mount SDcard in clockwork recovery ). I already chosed DISABLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION in clockworkmod. I still can't flash other NANDroid's .img. So, could anyone upload his NANDroid of official HTC's ROM for Legend? Thanks a lot... I like my legend and I want it back!
Sorry can't help ya here... Try Googling it, the file might pop out. But if all's lost factory reset?

Well, now I have a stock ROM "running". WiFi doesn't initialize ( Error ), if I start it with MicroSD in it just Bootloops at the "y" of "Quietly Brilliant" bootanimation and if I switch it on when not charging ( even if battery is fully charged ) my Legend just infinitely bootloops at the green htc logo just before the bootanimation. Also, can't mount SDcard in Clockwork recovery.
I already googled it, without results. Nobody needs a system.img backup and similar things. If there is one on the web, it is too hidden and I haven't enought time.
Thanks for trying. My Legend is so grateful to you
have you tried digging in the RUU files? i think the stuff you need is in side the rom.zip where we rename this rom.zip to LEGEIMG.zip and leave it at the root of a gold card to downgrade thinggy. extract it you have lots of .img... this files can be found from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430 you can look for the other tho...
i dont remember we can just flash .img to our legend without s-off or security-off in fastboot.
if you cant mount your sd-card you can use a card reader.
but since you can go in to CWM with fake flash or you have change your recovery. why not use another card to flash. who knows you have a bad card?
Thanks, but I can't mount SDcard. With a SDcard it would be easy, but actually I can't get it mounted, both in recovery and OS.
I sent my legend to HTC Service, and now I'm waiting for their report.
Should I sign this thread "solved", even if it isn't solved but I just don't need anymore the img files?

UNLCOCKED BOOTLOADER WITH DOS PROGRAM
-downloader rom manager and flashed cwm but anytime i turn off the phone and boot into recovery it shows a exclamation point if i dont flash cwm and do recovery through rom manager and i have to flash cwm from rom manager everytime i need to go into recovery which i know is not right.
- do i need to flash Cyan 5.0.2.3-atrix4.1 / ZIP version. to have a recovery so i can do back ups?
- and also i just downloaded the cm7 zip, do i unzip on my sd card copy to internal or just throw the zip on and copy?
-when i was able to get in to recovery after flashing cwm the beta.zip does not show in the internal or the sd card since it copied to both so im not sure if i need to flash that recovery i posted above to see the zip or not? if you could help answer these i would appreciate it.

ok youve got a lot going on there
first things first. CM7 changes the storage locations for the SD cards so thats why you cant see those
the reason cm7 isn't booting is because you were using the wrong recovery. you need to fast boot flash romracers latest recoverhy for that to work.
that should also fix hour disappearing recovery problem,
id reccomend using a fruitcake to get back to stock and starting over
ok so i have only unlocked the bootloader nothing else im trying to get a recovery so i can actually put the cm7 zip in so i can flash to recovery. so i should flash rom racers recovery? and then do i flash cwm after i have the recovery, because the cm7 directions say too do so. i sincerely appreciate you helping me
Hey Guys,
I messed up a little with an accidental fastboot command whereby I accidentally flashed the boot, now I cannot boot up and my main hope is to flash the stock boot.img and stock recovery (my original intention).
I was looking for an RUU in a zip format or a stock ROM but had no luck, is it possible someone has these? I need it for HBOOT 1.49.18 and Android 2.3.
Failing that I guess I would need to full wipe and install a Custom ROM by manually flashing the Custom ROM's boot.img, the problem is then however in getting the ROM zip file on my SD... I think CWM touch enables USB mounting am I correct?
Do you have an sd card adapter? If you have, just put it in your computer. You can use any recovery image you like.

Just got back into ROMs again, but made a few mistakes.
I was attempting to install Cyanogenmod
Got the Boot.img file to work, however I realized I didn't add the files to install the ROM, into the SD folder.
(Went into the "install" option on TWRP, but there are no files to install at all)
Now my phone just boots up to the splash logo, and stays there. Any way to fix it?
Note: Already tried RUU, I get the version error like everyone else. I don't know what else to do.

Create a folder "0" on the sd card and put the file in there. You can also side load in recovery it just takes forever to transfer the ROM.

Thank you for the side load recovery. That managed to work, however I encountered another problem.
I am now stuck on the cyanogen 10.1.3 screen, same deal as before.
I've tried everything to solve this:
Deleted cache, factory reset
Made sure I had correct kernal
Etc.
Please, really need to use my phone. Thank you for the help.
Extract the kernel (boot.img) from the ROM file and flash it from your pc using fastboot. Rom doesn't boot is typically due to wrong kernel, maybe it failed to flash from recovery. You are s-off, correct?
I have CWM Touch recovery and Tachyon 1.1 installed. I decided to flash TWRP recovery by downloading the .zip from Flyhalf's thread (TWRP_2.6.3.0_Vigor_PH98IMG) and putting it on my internal SD as PH98IMG.zip (yeah, I know -- stupid idea).
Now when I reboot, the HTC screen comes up for a moment, the phone vibrates once and then powers down. At that point, I have to pull the battery if I want to try again. I can (after pulling battery) boot to bootloader from which I can still reboot to my CWM recovery, but I can't boot the phone normally. I assume this is because of the PH98IMG.zip on my internal storage?
What do I need to do to remove that file so that I can get back to "normal". I do not have a backup (because I was expecting to flash TWRP which doesn't use the CWM format for backups). I would rather not factory reset/re-format my internal SD unless that is my only option.
What are my options?
I've learned not to panic when I "think" I've done something terrible, but I am really starting to panic this time.
In CWM, when I go to Mounts & Storage, I am unable to mount anything except the /sdcard. I can NOT mount /cache, /data, /system, or /emmc. When I boot to HBOOT, I am unable to communicate with phone from PC.
Assuming I find a way to mount my SD card on my PC, could I copy a ROM to the external card, wipe/partition everything other than my card and re-flash the ROM to force re-formatting of all my partitions? Or should I begin trying to decide between the HTC One, Moto X and LG G2??

If you're now able to get into recovery, just copy a new rom over to the SD Card and install it. Worst case, if you're s-off, RUU your phone back to stock and start over with re-installing your recovery, restoring your rom.
The PH98IMG being on any internal or exteternal is not causing any problems for you on boot and would only be cumbersome when booting into hboot. It sounds to me that you should boot into recovery and clean flash a rom again. Even in recovery, you can mount either internal or external sd as usb storage and access it via your pc where you can remove or delete any file in them.

Get a rom on your sd card, whether external or internal and clean flash in recovery. fastboot flash the boot.img if you're s-on via rebooting to bootloader and doing it through fastboot
Thank you both for your responses. I tried to flash a new ROM from recovery but it didn't work; presumably because it could not write to /system, etc. Instead, I installed a RUU by following these instructions and flashed TWRP recovery as an img file with fastboot (extracted from here). As a result, I have a working phone, although it is ICS and Sense 3.6 -- blech!
My next question is: How do I upgrade to the latest HBOOT and radios? Although the CM 10.2 FAQ suggests following the above process to get the latest and greatest, the links provides HBOOT = 2.27.0000 and radios = 2.22.10.0801r; 2.22.10.0803r.
Second question: once I update HBOOT and radios, can I just reboot into recovery (via HBOOT) and flash Tachyon 1.1.5 or do I first need to partition/format mount points to prepare them for a 4.3 ROM?
I bungled my way through all these steps so long ago that I don't remember what hoops I had to jump through to get back to my "comfort zone" with Tachyon.

newest hboot and radios http://d-h.st/BIj ...place it in the main area of your external sd card and rename it and make sure it looks like PH98IMG.zip bot to bootloader by holding power and volume down after a battery pull to boot to it....this is the same method to get to a custom recovery to flash a rom bud...if s-on dont forget to flash boot.img outta the rom you are flashing
---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
also after you flash a 4.3 rom you have to format, partition and wipe internal sdcard and emmc
Thanks for the linkREV3NT3CH!! I scoured the web and found another link on XDA but it was broken.
I was able to flash the firmware update and install Tachyon 1.1.5 finally and now everything is back to "normal". Hope work doesn't mind that nothing got done today and I'll be stopping home to buy a microSD card reader for my computer after borrowing a co-worker's -- life saver!
I just booted up on the new ROM in time to hear the HORRIBLE low battery alarm. Not cool Neo; not cool at all.

lol glad you got it working bud....once its charged tachyon has great battery life fyi
I've checked all over, and their are many...but none of them are straight to the point
I want to install custom roms but I cant seem to find a proper thread that is step by step on loading a custom recovery, I'm jumping all over the place, so far I have a unlocked bootloader, rooted and running 4.2.2 and I have a recovery.img file on my sdcard (not sure if thats needed or not)
I've come to decide I need to do it manually cause the rom manager app doesn't have my tablet listed.
Doesn't bother me what custom recovery is it, as long as I can boot into it and load custom roms from SD card im happy

Looks like can help you! I too had this problem and dont even ask me how much I researched XDA Forums in vain But Ill help YOU! You said you're rooted and on 4.2.2 so you should be good to go! Here's the link to Dual Recovery for XTZ (TWRP and Philz Touch) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
You said you Unlocked your bootloader. I hope you didnt forget to backup your TA before that.
Gimme a Thanks if I helped and dont forget to thank the original dev [NUT] either!
Wait wait wait Lol
What on earth is TA?
All I have is the code that unlocked the bootloader, and man oh man, im glad someone can help
Ill be doing what that thread states and i'll keep you updated
Thanks
It worked!!!!!! I have the custom recovery installed!
But i have a few questions? can i only use the app to boot into the recovery or can I use the volume power way, cause it didn't seem to work at first so i used the app
secondly, when i used the app, i booted into clockmod recvery, and i wanted to install a ROM i placed on my sdcard, so I wiped out the phone getting it ready for the ROM installation, so i formatted and found i cant open my sdcard only my internal storage, thats means im stuck, so now i fused flashtools and placed 4.2.2 back on the phone, must root it again and then load the recovery and place the rom on my internal storage, ill keep you updated let me know if there was a easier way
Just realized I could have tried the other recoveies, cause maybe they would be able to access the sdcard
OK so I have downloaded this rom and gapps and the instructions are same old same old, place files on sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe and install, I got an installation aborted any ideas?
All the roms are failing and ive been trying the different recoveries, I must be doing something wrong
