I asked this in another thread but didnt get an answer...
This morning, I checked my system updates and got the OTA for ICS. It downloaded fine, and I hit install now. My phone powered off like it should have, and when it came back on my screen has has a weird green X in the middle of the screen. Is this normal? should I keep waiting? I didnt think it should have takin this long, and Ive never seen this weird X before...can someone please help...

yes, both actually. Ive never flashed any roms or anything though, just stuck with the stock cuz I was scared to mess things up...lol
Unroot, restore stock recovery then relock the bootloader, then try again. It won't allow the update with an unlocked bootloader.

To be completely honest, I have NO IDEA how to do that. I had Binery walk me through the rooting process, and I dont know how to restore it..

Use the Amaze toolkit, it has everything as a button, do it in this order and you should be fineL
1. restore stock recovery
2. relock the bootloader (oem_relock)
3. retry updating.

Welcome buddy ^_^
Hey Dark, I flashed the stock recovery, relocked the bootloader, ran the update again and now I get a phone pic with a red triangle and exclamation mark...any ideas?
Download one of the GB stock RUU files, rename it and place it on your external sd card and reboot into HBoot, it should automatically detect the file and take your entire phone back to complete stock, there shouldn't be any stops from updating.
Stock RUU thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644
rename the file to PH85IMG.zip when you place in on your sd card.

As I posted in another thread, I have an unlocked bootloader with no other mods done, and I flashed the OTA without a problem.
great, I dont have and SD card...lol
Awe man, what's not stock on your current set up? Maybe we can just restore files. Don't you have a nandroid backup?

well, when I unlocked my bootloader I used the HTC site, then I had Binery help me with root. he came up with a one-click root while we were doing it. After that I haven't done anything else to it besides get rid of the bloat cuz that's the only reason I wanted root.
Everything should be fine then, stock recovery, stock rom, locked bootloader, tried re-downloading the update?

I just did a factory reset, re-downloaded the update, Im about to try the install now. I did notice one thing though when I was using Hasoon, I think it said Failed when I flashed the stock recovery...
Yep, The update failed to install again.
What radio is on the new OTA update? Can someone who has done the update, post?
No clue where recovery files go on the amaze or we could do it via recovery, just retry flashing stock recovery, if not we'll have to wait until someone pulls the file and makes a zip file to flash it, did you try flashing the recovery using the tool while the phone was in fastboot? That's probably a requirement.
I have the CDMA Evo 3D
*** UNLOCKED ***
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.50.0000
eMMC-boot
It is Rooted and running the Sprint 2.17 odex ROM 2.3.4 Gingerbread
With TWRP Recovery.
I've been reading forums for three weeks. No one has given me a clear answer.
What I want to do is get ICS. Now before you all facepalm and say "Use the wire trick noob" It's not that simple.
My phone was flashed to Boost Mobile. I didn't flash it and I have not the slightest Idea how to flash and according to support at http://www.unlimited.io The wire trick will clear my flash. So the wire trick is a no no.
Now there was a method where you flash the boot.img using fastboot
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
It pushes it and says success.
Then I reboot into recovery (vol down and power button)
and flash the ROM. It bootloops every single time.
I've been looking for a way to S-Off safely with no luck, so now I'm determined to master the flash process. All i want is One working ICS ROM for my device.
Thanks in advance for the help, Nova.
Have you tried to flash the kernel AFTER flashing the ROM?
It really is being s-on that is causing the issue.

Flash succcessful, pulled the battery and vol down=power into bootloader
now in fastboot, flashing boot.img

OKAY
*Random times here*
Finished
Now i've rebooted and the bootanimation is playing. I'll update to tell if it's bootlooping
Yup, still bootlooping.
ried entire process with Cool ICS ROm. NO BOOTLOOP ! YAY!
but instead it shows the homescreen for three seconds then shuts off.
The link below discusses Boost. The poster seems to know a lot about Boost so you might want to PM him about getting s-off. I really do think s-off will fix your issues.

Why don't you just flash a stock gingerbread ROM them stock recovery and relock your bootloader then take the ota update , let it install then unlock via HTC Dev again...
from what I learned from being S-ON with 1.5 unlocked, you have to:
flash the boot.img file BEFORE flashing the ROM. extract it from the ROM push it via fastboot, enter recovery via fastboot then wipe wipe WIPE everything except your SD card 3X, flash ROM, enjoy ICS goodness

Have you try using live boot-cd by unknownforce (hope not wrong to spell his name)? That method will temp brick your phone so all partition will back to stock, i have try once and my flashed number is disappear and need to reflash carrier once again.

If you are booting recovery via fast boot and then flashing a ROM, there is no need to flash boot.img separately. The recovery will work as if you are s-off. And there is no logic in wiping partitions 3x.....
Or you can directly flash a ROM from recovery without booting recovery via fast boot, and then flash boot.img via fast boot.
Or use 4ext recovery and turn smart flash on, and flash ROMs directly without using fast boot.

It might my friend..maybe..juuust maybe it will. If it does o0u can always try and reflash back to Boost?
As far as I know, both unknownforce's, and the wire trick to downgrade the bootloader to hboot 1.4 will erase your flash to boost... Ask me how I know...lol!
Have you tried the app flash image GUI? When I was s on, I used this app to flash the kernel, then I went to recovery, and flashed the Rom, and all worked as long as the kernel was compatible with the specific Rom I was flashing, maybe you can try flashing the VM leak kernel, then an ics Rom

That's just the way its ever worked for me so I found it was worth giving out my way at least as an opinion I know once you boot into recovery via fastboot is SUPPOSED to work that way, never did for me hence my weird method. Wiping partitions may not have any logic to you sir, but to some of us it does back from the OG EVO days, that's what devs there used to post, that's what I've gone with as a routine for myself.
I've known peeps who attempt the ROM first boot then reflash boot.img after- endless powercycle. Never happened when I tried it but eh
4EXT wasn't always around so I guess I'm still trying to get used to easier flashin on this phone. I enver used smart flash on this one because when I was S-ON I did it the fastboot method, then the Unknown Force method came to be and I never had a need for it.
Evo 3D on Boost S-off but problems with ICS ROMs
Background:
EVO 3D (CDMA) flashed to Boost Mobile. Sept 2011
Rooted HTC Method Oct 2011
ROMs ROMs ROMs until about 6 months ago (currently using Eternity Infected Rom 1.4.2)
Tried to go to ICS and had problems so did S-off wire trick Aug 2012 (Lost Boost Mobile flash) Had to reflash to Boost.
Now:
****Unlocked****
Shooter XC Ship S-OFF RL
HBOOT 1.50.0000
baseband 97.10.0808
I'm in a quandry at this point of what to do next.
I'm not able to successfully load any of the new ROMs. I tried just upgrading to Infected ROM 2.0 but it also always has issues like it forces me to use skype or email won't open. I'm guessing it is because I load my old data from Titanium backup and it isn't compatible. I tried Mean ROM and it works and changes my kernel but I don't like it as it is full of Sprint Bloatware which does me no good on Boost. I've tried to load the latest Viper ICS ROM and it just stays stuck on the HTC screen.

Just run the Verizon RUU executable -- it will flash your bootloader. You'll lose root, etc, and to get it back you'll have to flash a custom recovery.
I am also looking for the stock recovery to flash. I don't want to wipe my phone with the ruu, just need stock recovery to flash the ota.

There is no "real stock" recovery. the only way to get there is fully return to "stock" by flashing the RUU. Make sense?

Trying to update from stock 1.15 to an OTA. I think I misread something.. I was under the impression that I could just install a stock recovery, then accept the OTA, then reroot, and reflash a custom recovery.

Hey, I do know that a stock recovery for the Droid DNA does not appear to exist anywhere online. I've been searching for months. A method you could use is to open the stock RUU wizard, continue the wizard, then find a folder called %temp% and the stock recovery img is on there somewhere. Flash it with fastboot.
wth do you even want stock recovery back?

you need it for going back to stock as well as flashing certain things from HTC without completely restoring the device (such as the OTAPkg.zip)
I'm needing to take my phone into sprint because I believe my digitizer needs replaced. The screen keeps freezing and clicking random things without me touching it. Tried different roms and kernels do figured it must be hardware issue.
Anyhow I'm needing to keep my hboot s-off because my laptop craped out on me this week and wont be able to re root and s-off again without my laptop working.
All I'm wanting to do is make my phone look stock by putting a stock unrooted rom on it so sprint can replace the digitizer.I've looked on the web n can only find a stock rooted rom but where can I get a stock unrooted rom? Thanks

Easiest way is to flash the RUU.exe from Windows or the zip version of the RUU from the bootloader. That will return everything to stock including the bootloader and recovery, but leave you S-OFF so you can just flash a custom bootloader and recovery after they repair the phone and you will be back in business.

When my digitizer went out, I took mine in rooted and they fixed it no questions asked. In fact, one tech asked me about my team custom splash screen I made and another loved the skin I was running.
But, I understand not wanting to give them any reason to argue.

A backup of...? Changed what apps and where? That sounds pretty irrelevant. How would it "not flash"? You would know if you RUU'd back to stock or not. You're also making it sound like you were S-OFF and now you're S-ON all of the sudden? That would be the result of an RUU route. Not sure why anything would prompt about being root or not while powering down a device.

S-OFF only goes back to S-ON through RUU. So I don't think you were S-OFF but then again I know nothing of that HBOOT version. Just download the latest CWM/SU, put it in storage, flash it, reboot to ensure root was gained and then try installing MB again.

Unless you manually toggled the security flag back to s-on, I'm pretty sure there is no way to go from s-off to s-on. Not even RUU (other than Viperuu) revert you to s-on.

Ok. It sounds like you are Htcdev unlocked on hboot 1.12 and for some reason using the newest version of TWRP. Are you trying to flash an old ROM?

Let's get you back up and running then. First Downgrade TWRP to 2.3.3. Then flash this rom.
This is just to get you back to a rom. We'll see what to upgrade from there.

Fastboot is the only way for you since you can't get a rom with root. Why isn't it working?
