I am trying to flash an android revolution hd rom
my phone is rooted , s offed, super cid, ICS
i wiped everything
did the android revolution hd super wipe
do i flash kernel first? and which kernel should i use?
phone keeps going back to HTC screen and stays stuck on it.
i am familiar with adb and cmd
any advice???
have you tried to flash any other roms? and make sure smart flash is enabled when trying to flash your rom?, or you can re-partition your device with 4EXT then use the "toggle usb" to mount your sd card and place the rom on there then try and flash it
Had that issue with a friend. Your internal storage is corrupted. Toggle USB and go on your computer. Right click the internal SD and format it. Restart recovery and it will be good to go.
silly me

i was looking all over my house for a sd card adapter i never found when there was a "usb toggle" option on 4ext recovery all along!!!!
thanks for letting me know. and thanks for everyone else who helped.
i put the ruby faux kernel on the sd card. i will wipe everything and flash super wipe, flash kernel, flash rom, and see what happens...thanks again!

here's a way to return to stock RUU, you need the all-in-one toolkit from hasoon2000
download this file Here and rename it to PH85IMG.zip (this file is for ICS) the older one for GB didnt work for me
use the "Relock Bootloader" command on hasoon's toolkit to relock your bootloader (i received a security warning when doing so, but still worked)
place the PH85IMG.zip file on the root of your SD Card
turn off device and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery then simultaneously hold the volume down and power buttons (to boot fastboot)
Fastboot will detect the image file on your external storage. After it loads, accept the "update" - this will revert you to stock (including recovery and radio).

yes the file listed in that quote is the one for wind mobile.. i updated it
I'm probably coming too late, but I ran into this issue before. It's because I flashed a new Rom, and rebooted my phone before finishing the initial setup. You have to get passed that first and get to the home screen, or the internal sd card doesn't get partitioned properly. Did you do something similar to this?
In any case, I wish you luck!

Have you been reading the development thread?
yes, but they do not say which images they use to get back this functionality, they have just stated they used sbf then an image. My question is i have an unlocked phone, should i got back through the whole process of unlocking and rooting again to regain control of the phone, or what exact steps are needed, i have already tried to edit the files in /etc/ to point to the external card but to no avail.
Thanks

You won't be able to, as stated in the OP, there's a seperate option in Storage settings within the ROM because you can only read from either internal or external SD, one at a time. So that means you have to put any items you want to flash on the internal SD card to flash them with CWM. It won't read the external SD card in recovery mode.
I have, all my backups and rom images are located on the sdcard
==> backups
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
==> Roms
/sdcard/roms
When i try to restore the backups, i get the boot loop and the same for the roms, or some roms wont load at all. my main rom has been homebase, and it just hangs or it fails with error about sd-ext when in recovery. this is what i am trying to figure out, is how to get back to that point before the pure aosp install, do i start from scratch or is there another way.
Download the recovery image from romracer's thread and flashboot it via pc/cmd. You still can put the phone into fastboot mode.

Is there a way to back up the entire phone as it is stock with what comes with the phone? Also have a couple of questions because I plan on loading custom roms and possibly rooting.
What are the main differences between the two recoveries:Amon Ra style vigor Current version 3.15 & ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.1.4? I used ClockworkMod Recovery on the Incredible and was comfortable using it. Do some ROMs require a certain recovery to go with it?
Is there a recommended combination of kernel and ROM to maximize battery life?
S-On/Off is for having the ability to flash radios correct? And currently that's not available Rezound? Unlock boot loader is for flashing custom ROMS Root is for some of the better Apps(and other things I don't know about).
1. once you unlock the phone and flash a custom recovery you can back up the stock rom that is on the phone.
2. ClockworkMod has been having some troubles with the rezound so most of us only use amonRa for dependability.
3. the kernels and battery life are usually hit or miss and also depends on if you are using GB or ICS roms. GB roms have more choices but ICS seems to be what everyone is running as am i and i get great battery life as long as im smart about 4g.
4. S-off is when u can flash just about anything do your phone becuase security is off... we have s-on but unlocked which means we cant flash radios but we can flash everything else safely
BAMF external sd card issues.
So I did every and have successfully flashed BAMF following these instructions: teambamf(dot)net/index.php/topic/3185-rom-bamf-rezound-ics-v12-official-update-32512/#entry70140
but now the problem I am having is that my external sd card is not being recognized. I have tried mounting it manually in the storage settings and it says that it is "preparing to mount sd card" but then nothing happens. I have rebooted into hboot and recovery and the external sd card is recognized there. I have scoured the thread for the rom itself and have found nothing definitively helpful.
is there anything else i can try to do to make this work?
edit: I flashed this file after renaming it: PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip and this file BAMFupdate.zip for the install. Am I suppose to flash a separate kernel?
Rename PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip as PH98IMG.zip and place on external sd card then from recovery in the developer menu reboot in the bootloader and flash that file and press the volume up button when it asks.

I've actually done this twice and it has no effect as letting me read my external sd card and i've found another problem of not being able to dial out a phone call.
Did you update to the lastest firmware via the leaKed RUU? If you didn't then you have to flash the oldfirmware PH98IMG instead after flashing the ROM.

I have not, could you direct me as to where I can find it?
I went from a completely stock Rezound. I used the all in one tool kit to unlock and then perm root. And then I followed these steps to install BAMF as per their website:
Instructions for Installing Rom and Kernel (on new firmware)
Download rom file and PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip
Rename PH98IMGnewfirmwarepeople.zip to "PH98IMG.zip" without the quotes
Place both files on external SD card and reboot to recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system
Flash the rom through the "Flash Zip Menu" in recovery
From main recovery screen, choose "Developer Menu"
Select "Reboot to Bootloader" from the developer menu
Phone will reboot to hboot, you may have to select bootloader from hboot screen
Bootloader will load the PH98IMG.zip, select "Yes" to update.
Rock on with your bad self and reboot system

Well I wanted to follow the directions you posted, but for some reason I can't enable USB debugging even when the box is checked. So I can't lock the boot loader to follow the instructions using the all-in-one tool. Can I flash the RUU without having to relock the phone? or is there some other way to lock the phone via recovery menu and pc that I can do? I tried switching to ICS Ineffabilis, but it hanged after installation so I put BAMF back on and still same problems.
I guess to sum it up what do I need to do to relock bootloader manually?
also I tried to restore my nandroid back up from stock and it didn't work. I'm guess it is because I flashed that firmware for BAMF.
Right the ROM that you flashed was modified from the latest ICS leak from HTC and since you were on stock you should have flashed the old firmware PH98IMG since you didn't run the latest RUU. To run it the phone definitely has to be relocked if the command isn't recognized via fastboot you may need the HTC drivers provided with HTC sync I ran into that same problem. If you just want to go back to stock you have to restore your nandroid backup and flash a GB kernel to get it to boot properly. Hope this helps!
Cool lemme know how it turns out.

I flashed clean rom, flashed the patch in bootloader, and restarted. It is stuck on the boot screen. I did a battery pull and booted into the bootloader, but it is not allowing me to select recovery so that i can wipe or flash again. How can i get back into amon ra?
You will need to remove the PH98IMG file from your sd card and once back in recovery reflash but the patch needs to be flashed through recovery not bootloader.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah, remove the PH98 from the sd and then wipe and re flash the rom, make sure you flash the boot img and old firmware patch. Use fastboot to flash the boot.img if you need to
ok, i removed the PH98IMG file, i was able to then get into recovery and wipe/re-flash the rom, but then how am i supposed to flash the patch if i removed it form my sd? i'm sorry for the silly questions.
You could download it again just don't rename it and flash from recovery.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Don't name the patch ph98 that's why it didn't boot. The installation of the rom copies the boot.img as a ph98img.zip to the sd, and if you already have a ph98img.zip it won't work. Also, make sure to boot the rom once before you flash the sd patch in recovery
ok, so i deleted the PH98IMG file from the sd card. only files on the card were the rom and the GB patch. i booted into recovery, wiped, flashed the rom, flashed the GB patch which is required and rebooted. Now i'm stuck at the same point on the boot screen.

You need to boot back into the bootloader so it can flash the PH98IMG which the rom created once that flashes you should be fine.
when i flash the rom the PH98IMG file is not being copied to the sd card. it even says in the instructions of the rom to place the rom, the PH98IMG file, and the GB patch to the sd card. I am S-ON, if that matters in this case.
Was there a download for the PH98IMG with the rom? If so you would need to download that and put it on your sd card. What version are you trying to install?
Open the zip for the rom, and flash the boot.img in fastboot from your computer. Dude it's like you're not even reading my posts. If you would have done what I said your problem would be solved by now

This is how you should have installed the rom
1. Place ROM and SD patch (old firmware patch) on SD Card
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Wipe
4. Install ROM and SD Patch
5. Reboot to hboot to install the PH98IMG.zip that was copied to your SD card during the installation.
6. If no PH98 file was copied, you would extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file and flash that in fastboot. It CANNOT be flashed in recovery on an S-ON device.
7. Reboot.
Like I said, if you had taken the time to read my post thoroughly you would have understands what I meant.
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------
But anyways you got your problem fixed so that doesn't matter anymore. Just remember to read instructions thoroughly
well, i still don't understand completely tbh....the PH98IMG.zip has to be placed on the sd card prior to flashing the rom according to the dev's instructions. the problem is, when it is pre-placed onto the sd card, i cannot boot into recovery.
i'm back on viper rom. flashing cleanrom after viper still did not work. i thought it was because it got past the white htc screen the past time but was still stuck on the boot screen after all.
No the ph98img is copied during installation

He said put the PH98IMG first because you're supposed to use "adb reboot recovery" so it doesn't prompt you to install the PH98.

well now my mind is completely blown, bc when i first installed cleanrom i did it the exact way i described...and i don't see where it says adb recovery?
Method 4: Installation for S-ON Devices on Gingerbread firmware
Copy ROM to SD Card AND PH98IMG.zip AND GB Firmware Patch to ROOT of SD Card
Reboot to recovery
wipe data / Factory Reset
Flash ROM
Flash GB Fimrware Patch
Use Developer Menu to reboot to bootloader and flash the boot.img file in the PH98IMG.zip
Reboot
Profit!
NOTE: If you are not S-OFF or on ICS Firmware you will need to download the Extra's and place them on the root of your SD Card BEFORE you flash the ROM! They are no longer included in the ROM file itself!

i'm by no means questioning anyone here, and i do read directions..i'm just really not understanding here. Ever since i came to htc i've been kinda lost. Things seemed so much easier on my D1 and DX, haha. i used to flash 5 roms a day to test them out on my X, everything on htc just seems a bit more technical.

Its because the DX didn't have custom kernels. 2nd init was used to override Motorola's services. Thats why the dx and d2 got cyqnogenmod. The 2nd init allowed the devs to use aosp libs and such that complied with the pre- existing kernel values. The rezound's boot loader allows for the installation of kernels through hboot, but not recovery. (If your s-on at least). I reccomend you try incredikernel because it shows truly what the benefits of flashing custom kernels are. Hope I helped :3, I do agree that the rezound is a little harder to hack because I came from a Droid 2, but custom kernels are nice. Unfortunately I'm on the leaked ics ruu and there's no kernel source which means no custom ics kernels yet.

Sir, patience with the newcomer please.
Part of the problem is that you are telling him the ph98img file is extracted during the install. Well, according to the installation directions, it is NOT. The user is directed to download the ph98img file and the patch before hand.
So yesterday i was using my phone and it randomly froze, then crashed and restarted and went into a bootloop.
So with my bootloader unlocked i attempt to do a factory reset, it brings me back to the bootloader, so i try to check the mount section and it tells me it can't mount internal/sd_card. So i assume that was the problem.
So for the entire day i've been trying to fix it, i relocked the bootloader and put an OTA_ruby on my external sd and ran that in fastboot, and it goes through the whole process then brings me back to the bootloader screen as if nothing it different. Rebooted, and it's still looping.
At the very least i'd like to remove the ***relocked*** on the bootloader screen so i can send it back in and get it replaced since i suspect this to be a hardware defect, but that's just my guess at least. I also attempted flashing with Hasoons tool when my bootloader was unlocked.
Please help, anyone have any ideas?

you need to relock your bootloader to flash the stock RUU you cannot do it while your bootloader is unlocked...if you can get to recovery you can just try to do a full wipe and then flash another rom
I did fastboot when my bootloader was locked, with the stock ruu and it just finishes and brings me back to the main menu of bootloader, where i reboot the device and it continues to bootloop.
I also turned my device into mass usb storage, formatted from my pc, and flashed 4ext to no prevail whatsoever. I feel like everything i do is so hopeless.
After formatting from the pc, i was able to mount the internal storage but i still cant get it to hard factory reset without it not reading the internal sd.

flashing the RUU has nothing to do with "fastboot", if your recovery isn't reading your internal sd properly.. check your partition alignment or just use 4ext to "repartition" the whole phone... okay here's what to do..
boot into 4ext recovery...
wipe all partitions (except sd card)
then format the Internal SD card.. then the External SD card
check for the partition alignments (in the tools section)
delete all partitions and re-partition the phone.. when it ask you for the size just select "SKIP"
once that's done reboot the recovery from within recovery (DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND ATTEMPT TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY)
once the phone's back in recovery again mount the phone via USB toggle..
place the ruu that you renamed to PH85IMG on your SD card not in any folders it has to be on the ROOT of the SD Card
next you need to shut down the phone and then remove your battery and then boot your phone back into fastboot..
the phone should then recognize the PH85IMG.zip file on your sd card and prompt you to install the "update" which is the stock ROM
this is the ICS Stock RUU make sure to rename it to PH85IMG before you place it on the SD card...
no luck?
Okay, i booted into recovery, wiped the partitions ( except sd card ), then i formatted both the internal and external cards, and wrote the new partitions by skipping through to the end. Then rebooted the phone into recovery from the 4ext menu, i placed PH85IMG.zip on my external sd card via usb toggle, shut the phone down took the battery out and it read the image but after the blue bar filled up it brought me back into the bootloader menu again, it never mentioned a "update" also i thought you could only use the stock ruu if your bootloader was locked?
My phone did that, I was able to format the internal sd on my pc, then formatted again in 4ext. I had a Rom, nandroid backup, and superwipe script on my ext-sd. So I ran superwipe, flashed the Rom I had been using (Energy-stock look) and then restored data from the backup, and then everything was well.

yes, i was assuming that you already relocked your bootloader for flashing back to stock.. and while flashing back to stock the PH85IMG zip on the sd card is usually read as an "update" i think when installing if i remember correctly

no i don't mean do a factory reset from the bootloader that doesn't really work well unless your phone is on stock.. and if you can get to recovery you might need to place your sd card in the phone and re-partition the whole file system from 4ext recovery.. because it sounds to me like your system files and file structure got corrupted somehow

This might be a silly question or may be I'm not very familiar with "stock RUU" but I just renamed the Tmous rom as PH85IMG and flashed running Juopunutbear Hboot and it did flash, and it said "relocked" afterward.
Actually I wasn't able to lock the bootloader before flashing RUU with the AIO kit.
Am I doing it wrong?

you might be able to use internal storage to flash back to stock also.. you can just and place the ph85img on the internal storage try it and see.. but the bootloader only has to be unlocked in order to flash a custom recovery.. nothing else really..

No luck with using the internal storage as a method to flash.
I'd like to mention i am not S-off, i only unlocked my bootloader.
Just so we're on the same page for the repartitioning , this is what i did:
Unlocked bootloader - try to get into recovery, then i followed these steps
boot into 4ext recovery...
wipe all partitions (except sd card)
then format the Internal SD card.. then the External SD card
check for the partition alignments (in the tools section)
delete all partitions and re-partition the phone.. when it ask you for the size just select "SKIP"
once that's done reboot the recovery from within recovery (DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR PHONE AND ATTEMPT TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY)
once the phone's back in recovery again mount the phone via USB toggle..
place the ruu that you renamed to PH85IMG on your SD card not in any folders it has to be on the ROOT of the SD Card
next you need to shut down the phone and then remove your battery and then boot your phone back into fastboot..
"with sd card removed" relocked bootloader
pulled my battery and got back into fastboot with the sd card in my phone this time " renamed it PH85IMG.zip"
and no luck... did i do something wrong?
So here's the story, I'm on a new version of cm, I decided to install a thicklizard kernel, did a backup in twrp (newest version), I'm s-off, and it wouldnt boot. It just hangs on the boot animation. So no big deal right? I go to my bootloader to get back into recovery but I have a firmware img on the root folder of internal storage so it tries to install that, I say no, and it asks to reboot my phone, no option to go into recovery (used to be able to on the 3d or og). So now I let it boot up to the animation and I go try adb... well it says device is offline. I have debugging on and what I'm pretty sure is the newest platform tools (adb etc.). So I'm stuck, no adb, no accessible bootloader, no workable rom... any ideas? Is there a button combination to boot into fastboot, recovery, or wipe my phone? Any help woiuld be great
delete, I solved it. removed my sd card :silly:
