You fail. Hard. Read the stickies before thinking you know what to do.
I do know what to do . I had flashed back to stock completely. And everything seemed OK straight stock then I rooted it and I couldn't get it to work so I reflashed cwm but for some reason it is still giving me this problem. I have read over and over. I've returned to stock. Tryed entropy 512 kernel cleared cache davlik factory reset all of it. I've been customizing phones for a year now and am just wanting to get into developing or atleast learning. O just never came across this before that o couldn't fix by one of the above methods. I'm sorry if.I.am not.to.your standard or a pro but I like to think I.know what I'm doing. As this is only my second post as a question I figured it be legit.

the kernel contains the recovery....
flash entropy's daily driver, then reboot to recovery
STOP USING ROM MANAGER
your question has been answered a thousand times on here....and explained in extreme detail...you should read a little more
Yes i know it does but it still wouldnt work. I figured it ojt last nigbt i had a extra bootloader file which wouldnt let me reset the counter and on top of it my phone wouldnt fully cwm becaise i had a recovery file back up it kept reverting back to. I wiped everyrhing again even sd and this time i was able to flash. Sorry to bother you but i didnt see anyrhong anout tjis imparticulaur

Flash back to stock completely again, then use Mobile Odin to flash Entropy's DD. It's the easiest way.
Stop touching yourself. Or this is gonna keep happening.

If it does get bricked or bootlooped is there a method similar to odin, or rsd to unbrick? This is my first HTC device. Thanks
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Brick means there is no recovering. You toss it and get another one.
As long as you can get into bootloader, you are not bricked. As posted above, the correct definition of a bricked phone is a phone that will not boot anything including the bootloader. This goes for any phone from any manufacturer, not just HTC. The phone ultimately is a paper weight at this point, and there is nothing that can be done, unless you have money for a JTAG device. I'm not even sure if a bricked Thunderbolt has been successfully revived with this device. Someone else will need to comment on that.
Now if you mean recovering a phone where its OS no longer boots, yes it can be re-flashed through bootloader (full RUUs and Radio) or recovery (custom ROMs).

Thanks for the help. Is there an app similar to odin or rsd that is run from the pc or is it all done through the phone on HTC?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Most work is done on the phone itself. In case of a non booting OS, the computer is only needed to transfer ROM files to the root of the SD card and to check the MD5 checksums. Custom recoveries such as Clockwork Mod or Aman_Ra will allow USB connections to set the SD card as Mass storage in case of a non booting OS.
Odin and RSD are flash programs, where as our phones are capable of flashing themselves without use of a flash program.

that answered my question perfectly. thanks everyone for all the help. im new to the bolt and came from the charge and must say that i am really happy already with what ive seen
To reach the Hboot where you can flash a recovery ROM turn off your phone hold volume down to reach this screen any flash should be named PG05IMG.zip

Here's a great place for you to get started. Read everything in it. It explains how to root, unroot, flash, troubleshoot, etc. This should answer anymore questions you may have as you continue to explore.

Yes it is needed as this is the flash file. The correct file name is PG05IMG and it is a .zip file. Full stock RUUs and Radios must be named PG05IMG (if when you DL it and it is not then re-name it)
Any file with this name MUST be flashed through HBOOT (bootloader). Just remember once you are finished flashing, you need to delete the flash file from your SD Card.
Custom ROMs are different in that they do not need to be renamed however they MUST be flashed through Recovery and not HBOOT.
Sent from my brain.
Ok so custom roms can be flashed in cwm. Does this include rooted stock roms or are those still in hboot with the pg05img.zip file?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Sorry for the late response but yes, rooted stock ROMs get flashed in recovery.

Hey guys. I just got my replacement phone from ATT mailed in since my old one's power button broke. I have a few questions about getting it back to stock AND doing so to reset my flash counter ( its at 1 now and i dont want them to void my warranty and make me pay for it :/) As of now, i do not have a jig, but one is one the way.
first off i had planned on flashing 4.0.3 and installing triangle away. i was told that this would get rid of the yellow triangle AND reset the flash counter. Will this work?
Next, does flashing back to stock through odin/heimdall readd to the flash counter where it'd go back to 1? if so, is there a way back to stock and be unrooted without increasing the flash counter
I'm also assuming doing a master clear will not increase it, as i dont want them to send them my data.
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance
UPDATE: The triangle away worked successfully and flashing via odin kept the count at 0 as i thought. My new problem is when i booted up after going back to stock, i get a bootloop at the att logo. Anyone have any alternative links to getting to a nonroot version of samsung stock?

It would be worth a try... go the the Download Repository and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries package which contains cache.img and hidden.img. It also contains the bootloaders and param but you shouldn't have to worry too much about that. That might allow your phone to boot.

Nvm u were right, I needed to do a factory reset, but now how do I get cwm to be able to flash aokp again?
Sent from my Liberty using xda premium
i was able to gain root again and cwm but when i try to flash aokp 4/4 it gets hung up on the samsung galaxy s screen but when i flash 4/3 it works fine. Possibly corrupt download? oh and i wipe everything this time.
I am trying to root my friends s3. Seems to have worked but instead of having the normal options in recovery mode, its missing "install from sdcard"
I haven't done anything different to how I went about rooting my s3.
Anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Has you GS3's friend a SD card plug in at least ? Using CWM or CWM Touch ?
Else reflash CWM via Odin could be a solution.
When we first initially flash via odin, no. Tried to reflash but no luck.

hmm... seems like you messed up with the actual root process somewhere, try ref lashing again, but remember to follow the steps TO THE LETTER, otherwise i can't seem to know of any other fix.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Flash the unroot package that Chainfire provide to cancel all you have done so far in the rooting process then try once more from the beginning.
I used an app suggestion from the guy that wants to get paid for everything to install TWRP on my ATT i527. It installed just fine and ROM Manger shows TWRP as being my recovery system. Only problem is, ATT blocks the recovery and now I can't get to stock recovery.
My biggest problem is I don't know how to to uninstall the TWRP and get back to stock recovery. Any suggestions? Do I unroot and do a factory reset?

Ugh. That is a tough one. Know who you are talking about too. Nothing is for sure without a recovery rom. Would hate to see you get caught in a bootloop. That's a pain. Still waiting on my phone. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Think I may just unroot and hit the factory reset option in the Backup menu.

AFAIK factory reset won't bring back the stock recovery.
Download your device's Rom, flash it, and you'll have your stock recovery back.

I know you mean well but laughed when I read this. There is no rom for att mega. Hope you figured something out dparrothead1. Worst case is keep twrp, as long as phone is okay, it shouldn't hurt anything. At least, until we get a rom for this thing.

Yeah az, I had second thoughts about doing the factory reset. I will just keep the TWRP until someone breaks out the bootloader.
The only reason I wanted the stock recovery was to see what this update is all about. The update d/l'ed fine and was going to install but it need stock recovery....I keep hitting the "unauthorized software has been detected... .turn off your phone and take to nearest store". I don't think being rooted has anything to do with it.
I think that sooner or later our phone will be figured out. But I have to tell you. With being rooted and being able to get rid of some bloatware, and with Nova Launcher, I'm really happy with this big assed phone! Sure, I miss some of the customization, but I hated PA and some of the other overloaded roms.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using xda app-developers app
Maybe you could find stock recovery to reflashing it back... I'm not sure though if stock recovery from i.e. I9205 ROM couldn't brick your phone...
Dparrothead1 I received the update message yesterday but clicked out of it in error. I don't know what its for either. Suppose I'll google it in a few. I tried updating from settings and get an error saying update was interrupted.
