Hey guys,
I am doing this rom flash for a mate of mine.
I am trying to flash the tastyginger rom, but i am having some real difficulties while flashing the rom.
He has a dutch htc hero from hi. He has the latest rom according to the update utility thingy. it is the 2.1-update1 version. i believe i've read something about nand locks, and i think his phone has exactly that. the first step to flash a new rom is to root the phone. Rooting the phone works, gives no errors.
But when i try to flash the recovery image, it says it cant find the flash_image file.
it is should be located in the system folder on the phone but it isn't. i've tried to install it with android sdk, but the thing just is really acting weird. htc sync isn't working with the phone. it says there isn't a phone in the usb.
Now to make it clear, can somebody give me a clear tutorial on how to flash the thing correctly? I've done this before on my hd2. i've flashed the cyanogen 2.6 rom to my phone.
have you tried rom manager to flash rom its the easiest way i know. the way i rooted was with universal androot apk then installed rom manager clicked on flash clockworkmod recovery then went to install rom from sd card in rom manager scrolled down to the rom i wanted to flash choice it and pressed ok i then select backup existing rom and wipe data and cache and pressed ok then it will ask reboot and install and press ok and let it do its thing then wait untill it reboots and it should of installed rom which you wait to boot should have a custom splash screen that comes up and wait until your prompted to input details and such. hope this helps.
hey, thanks for the advice.
i let him try this method, but when he chose the htc hero gsm to install the cwm, the app refused to install it and gave this error message:An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands.
I forget to mention that the method you posted, that we already tried it.
But thanks for the effort!
pretty certain this is the tut. i used, i also had to use the gold card method -.-;

rom manager has been down lately everyone has had trouble flashing clockwork recovery, but ra recovery second from bottom is a secondary choice however other features of rom manager might not work if you use this you will have to boot into recovery manually.you also need super user to use this as well.
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec
Use this apk, i have always used this method!
Download clockwork or ra recovery rename it to recovery.img and copy to sdcard
Backup recovery with flashrec
then type sdcard/recovery.img
flash recovery and done!
I've done the recovery succesfully at the guys phone. It works bloody well. Thanks dudes! You can lock it up if you want to.

Hi there i was hoping that somebody could help me out with my problem. Yesterday i made my flyer succesfully S-off and a perm rooting. I installed the custom rom from 【7/19/2011】【ROM】[Flyer] Stock ROOTED Full Phone Support, also succesfully. Now there was a new custom rom today and i wanted to install it on my flyer, i reset it to factory settings before installing the custom rom. The back up from Clockworkmod from the factory rom was on my sd card. As u might guess he didnt want to install the custom rom (that i copied to the sd card), if i put it in hboot/fastboot it shows with the green letters that it is reading the sd card but says the zip file is not good. If i want to boot in recovery it shows the white screen with the green htc letters on it and it doens show the menu of Clockworkmod. Is there a way to solve this or is it possible to install Clockworkmod new again? The flyer is permanently rooted and s-off.
thank u

Ok, so I recently upgraded to ICS leaked rom and wanted to move on to the ICS updated Revolution Rom. Problem is I tried to run superwipe and rom installation with CWM touch recovery instead of EXT4 Recovery Touch. the superwipe failed and the Rev Rom failed shortly after beginning. I think the system files are wiped and now I get to the HTC logo and it stops. I can't HBOOT into CWM recovery either. Fastboot has limited use and the phone doesn't boot far enough to use ADB. Any ideas?
Pull battery
Take your SD card out put in ICS leaked RUU as ph85img
replace battery and SD card
Hold down volume down and power
let it install ICS leak RUU again
then this time get 4ext recovery and you're good
THANKS

THANKS SO MUCH! Worked perfectly.
I did the exact same thing, installed super wipe and revolution rom through cwm and the ICS rom failed. then it would freeze at the HTC boot screen, i tried to reinstall the stock ICS and same thing, then i was not able to load any recovery from hboot.. I finally got a recovery loaded after reflashing my backed up recovery from the Controlbear app for s-off. i have tried flashing everything under the sun (recovories, boot.img's, stock Telus RUU, custom GB roms) and still am stuck at the HTC screen.. The stock ICS rom boots to the "Android 4G T-Mobile" boot splash then hangs there... any ideas or did i really just brick my $700 phone.. I also didn't have 4EXT not can i try that now as i can't boot my device to install it... is there maybe a recovery image for 4EXT that i can flash through fastboot??
Guys... I don't use superwipe any more. I really wish people would just use 4ext and make their lives easier. I don't get why this amazing tool is available to us all but there are still people screwing up with cwm...

Hasoons All-in-one tool will flash 4Ext for you, I believe.
i've never had any issues using CWM before... is there anyway to flash a 4EXT recovery image from fastboot? if so where can i get it??
is there anything else i can try to get rid of this soft-brick? I'm not a noob by any means, i've been doing this for years with the htc touch, then move to HD2, and now the amaze.. this is the first time i've really enountered any serious issues with flashing customs roms on my phones...
Edit: i have hansoons all-in-one, tried both v2.4 & v3.0 and neither have 4ext just TWRP & CWM

Many Thanks!!!!!
I have 4EXT recovery on the phone now.. It appears that the device has an "error mounting /Internal_sdcard" and this may be where my device hangs after attempting to boot android in any rom what so ever... Hboot has no problem reading my /Ext_SD but 4EXT can not see it.. the other CWM recoveries are touch and go to if it can see the SD Card itself.. CWM 5.0.2.7 has no problem seeing it and flashing...
Is there a way to manually Erase or format the /Internal_Sdcard partion from hboot or fastboot as i can't even install file as zip as i believe the path to the SD card is /Internal_sdcard/Ext_SD..
also what exactly does 'wipe or format ->EXT3' & EXT4 do? with this also try to attempt to format the Internal SD?
Or did i completely fry the 16Gb internal memory somehow???

+1. superwipe is BS. the ONLY "superwipe" ive seen that actually works is the one made by TDJ. everything else is just smoke and mirrors. it doesnt do any more than a manual wipe thru recovery options...
oh, and 4ext is the shiznit. if youre still using hacked versions of cwm, you fail
Please Help - Boot Loop

I'm getting a boot loop and I can't figure out how to fix it. Originally, I used Hasoon's tool to unlock bootloader and I flashed CWM recovery and then used his tool to get perm root. My Amaze originally had GB to begin with and I tried to flash the Energy ROM but then it would freeze while loading and then go to the HTC screen and repeat over and over.
So I've been reading some things and I think my problem (I could be wrong) is that I should've obtained s-off or went to ICS first. I have used Hasoon's tool to flash the 4EXT recovery and I have tried flashing the kernel several times and that didn't help.
Then I came across this thread and was giving it a shot but it didn't work. I went to the File Factory link and there are several different choices to download. I downloaded "PH85IMG_RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_259626_signed" and put it on my SD card and renamed it to "PH85IMG" Now when I go into recovery, it says:
SD Checking…
Loading…[PH85DIAG.zip]
No Image!
Loading…[PH85DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading…[PH85IMG.zip]
At this point it has a status bar on the top right of the screen and eventually it will go on to say:
Checking..[PH85IMG.zip]
Wrong zipped image!
Loading…[PH85IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading…[PH85IMG.tar]
No image!
(and a few more lines of this stuff that I couldn't read fast enough)
I've rooted one other phone before but didn't have problems like this and was hoping I could get pointed in the right direction.
CWM doesn't flash the kernel. You need to run a kernel flasher to flash the boot.img stored inside ROM.zip and then it will boot

Thanks for the reply. Like I said, I've only rooted one phone before so I'm kinda new at all this so excuse any ignorance on my end. I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I just tried doing the following:
I went to recovery (4ext), plugged my phone into my PC and using Hasoon’s tool (ver.3.1), I flashed the “Stock T-Mobile US” kernel. After that, my phone rebooted but then got stuck on the HTC logo screen. So then I pulled the battery, put it back and loaded bootloader. It tried loading PH85IMG.zip but failed saying “Wrong zipped image!” again. I didn't try it, but I'm sure if I went in and cleared the cache and tried to install a ROM, it would get me back into the boot loop.
Is this what you meant by running a kernel flasher or did you mean something else? Thanks.

Oh wow... You're a mess. Lol
Go to dev section. There is a [Collection] ROM Bible thread. Download the stock rom (ruu) for your carrier. ReName it "PH85IMG" (you don't need the .zip as its a zip file and the ext is hidden) and put it on the root of sd card. Boot into bootloader (needs to be locked or relocated) and let it update

You're the man!!! The key was using Hasoon's tool to RELOCK the bootloader. I hadn't done that before. Thanks a lot for your help. I want to try getting that Energy ROM now and want to make sure I do it right this time.
So am I right in thinking that I have to get a leaked ICS RUU > rename it to PH85IMG > place it on the root of the SD card > go to bootloader and let it update > unlock bootloader using hasoon's tool > flash recovery (4ext) > download desired ROM > place on root of SD > use recovery to wipe cache and install ROM?

Wipe>format all partitions (except sd) in recovery instead of just cache... Just to be safe and ensure a clean install. Grab the 531.3 leak if you're on tmo... It's the OTA

I am still stuck in bootloop. I have used 4ext, twrp, and clockwork. I have tried them all and tried to flash different roms. I am a sprint evo 3d user and i have rev s-off. I am running viper rom right now. But when i do a factory reset and clear the cache data and all do all that type of stuff. I try to install the roms and it says install complete so i reboot from and let it sit a while but it never boots up and it always keeps rebooting and rebooting. Anyone help me please
Are you installing ViperROM ICS? I just installed this myself and experience boot loops. My situation may be different because I have HBOOT 1.5 and HTC unlock.
I was able to resolve this by installing the Anthrax RLS1 kernel w/ ViperROM ICS Beta3. I'm not clear on way this kernel works while others don't though.

RSL1 isnt ment for 3.6 ROMS. Use this one ... htcleak-stockfirmwaretest ....... RSL1 cause random reboots and non working 4G
do you guys have s off if not then this is part of the problem you need to have 4ext custom recovery installed this will solve the problem and after its installed set it up and enable smart flash and this will allow you to flash your boot.img of your are missing thats why your getting boot loops however you cant do this now what you need to do now is go to your pc or laptop boot your device into bootloader and hit the power button you should now be fastboot next you need a copy of the zip file meaning the rom you have flashed to your device on your pc what you need to do is extract that zip file and once its done extracting it will create a folder you will open that folder and scroll down until you see your boot.img and this is what you need to boot up next you will copy the boot.img into the same folder that you have your adb and fastboot drivers in next open cmd and typ what ever commands that you use to get your fastboot driver working and once that is done next you will typ fastboot flash boot boot.img and this will flash your boot.img and after this it will boot up without any bootloops enjoy
none
When you flash the ROM in recovery, does take a minute or two to install, or does it just fly right through the install process?? the ROM could have a bad updater.script in it which causes the ROM not to copy to the phone.
Try a different ROM, if a different flashes, and doesn't boot loop, you know the pproblem. May I suggest "CleanRom Reborn" found at
www.scottsroms.com his roms are awesome, and the one I mentioned has a cool option called LeeDroid Tweeks. Give that a go, your problems will be over.
I was having the same problem in my S-OFF GSM Evo, flashing a new kernel(has to be done via flashing the boot.img) works but its never quite stable. I'm not entirely sure why but KingCobra3D-ICS installed just fine, I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the aroma installer so maybe try a ROM that uses aroma installer.
Can someone please help me? I am novice (sorry for my English). I have problem with upgrade my HTC Flyer 512 - Gingerbread to HoneyComb.
I rooted device with revolutionary (is S-OFF) and installed CWM and superuser. I downloaded the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406851 - LeeDrOiD Flyer HC V4.3.0 and copied to SD card. I'm booting into recovery, selecting "backup&restore", scroll to "wipe data/factory reset". At next I select flash zip from SD card and I'm waiting for the flashing process to complete and reboot. After reboot I have still white window with logo HTC. I was waiting for 20 mins and nothing.
What am I doing wrong?
1. Do I have to install stock HoneyComb from part 2 at first? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
2. If yes, which ruu is for my device? I have Flyer Wi-Fi version.
3. Should I install kernell too?
4. What's MD5?
5. How to check MD5 in my device and compare it to flash
Please, help me.
Yes, you need to update to HC first, before you can flash a HC custom ROM. HC has different hboot from GB.
Similarly, if you are on HC, and want to flash a GB custom, you have to downgrade to the GB hboot.
ICS and JB custom ROMs use the HC hboot.
