I Mods please close if this is against the rules.
I've spent the last two nights trying to s-off with dirty racun, but have nothing but issues. I've asked the overlords in #unlimited if LazyPanda is still available for download, and was told no.
I've downgraded to hboot 1.12 using the Jet toolkit, and now would like to use LazyPanda to achieve s-off. I'd like a copy of LazyPanda to get s-off.
Is it worth my while to pursue this or just wait until Unlimited provides a tool for the new JB hboot?
Edit-I'm a jackass and didn't put this in Q&A. Can I be moved please?
Edit 2- specifically the Linux version of LazyPanda.
check your pm boss
I'm on hboot 1.12 also. Is there an advantage to using lazy panda vs dirty racun?
I was thinking of RUUing to 1.15 then using dirty racun is that a bad idea?

I used dirtyracun last night to ruu to 1.15 and s-off. It was painless....
I just had to relock my boot loader, RUU to upgrade my hboot, and then relock and let the coon do its thing...
It was easy
It turns out I just had a bad sdcard. I used racun to run to 1.19 and s-off from there. Got root, installed twrp, restored nandroid, and all is good. Updated radio and pri, and will remove red text from splash screen tomorrow.
Damn technology always making you think you got it right then not working.

I need the link too. There's no way I can afford 1GB bandwidth + unlock + relock + unlock + tool + ADB (fastboot) + ...
I want the simple, easy, 1-click LazyPanda. There's no way I can waste all that time and effort and bandwidth for some long-winded useless new process. I am proudly hboot 1.12. The idiots kicked me out of the chatroom when I even asked nicely for a link to the old version. Worthless egotistical buffoons.

Sent you a PM.
The old version (Lazy Panda) is not supported by Team Unlimited anymore, hence why they didn't provide it to you. If you get in a bind using it, you're pretty much on your own.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
If someone does need this send me a pm, I used it when I first got my LTE, and I save pretty much everything

You're a lifesaver! Not to mention a time-saver and a heck of a good bandwidth saver. Got it done in ~1MB rather than 1000.
I'm also on HBoot 1.12 and need a copy of LazyPanda
Someone please PM me a copy of the latest LazyPanda
I'd rather use that than DirtyRacun
Thanks in advance, zmag

Thanks, but a few issues..
Upon initial boot, I had to call customer service to reactivate phone.
Then, when I enter my 64gb sd card, it's empty.
I got my phone able to call/txt - but where do I go from here.
I get a constant notification that reads "Phone storage is empty" - Then when clicked, it says I can Format or Cancel - when I press Format, nothing happens and the notification comes up again
I backup my apps on the regular, but...
When I go to Root Explorer, it says sdcard (sdcard2 doesn't show) and when I click sdcard it says "The SD Card is not currently mounted" (even when it's in the sd card slot)
How do I get back to normal?

I remember when I did LP I had the same issues had to call sprint and reformat my sdcard and like you it wouldn't allow me to format it in the phone I had to pull it and put it in another phone and format that way
With lazy panda there's a chance your card will be wiped, that's why its best to use a spare card...dirty raccun too. You have to reformat your card unfortunately.

Well, after Googling "i cant format my sd card" i found the 2nd entry, which lead me to an app called SDFormatter V3.1 - I had to install drivers for sdxc for Win XP (86)
I'm giving it a go now, if that doesnt work I'll try formatting it in another phone...
I really can't afford to spend another 100 bucks on a card today *keeps fingers crossed*
---
As of typing this, the SDFormatter says:
---
Memory Card Format complete !
Please remove the Memory Card.
QUICK FORMAT
("Flash Erase" operation has been cancelled because this device didn't support it.)
Volume Information
- File system: exFAT
- Total space = 59.4 (63,831,015,424 Bytes)
- Cluster size = 131072 Bytes
---
I will post my results in a few to let you know if it worked!
---
SOLVED!
After using SDFormatter V3.1 and popping the card back into my phone, after booting up it gave me a notification "Phone storage damaged"
So I clicked on it, and it gave me the Format option again... Voila, it's working superbly now!
I saved myself money, I'll ignore my aggrivation for being a dumbass and not backing up my SD Card in it's entirety... however, I'm kindof OCD when it comes to backups, so I have all my backups up until about Feb 02.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP/IDEAS! - kaltorak
Auto-Rotate not working?
Another weird glitch (hopefully someone can help/experienced this before)
I've noticed ever since all these other issues (which I've 97% resolved) the auto-rotate doesn't seem to be working at all.
When I say "at all", when I turn apps to landscape mode, the screen won't turn...
Any way I can fix this? Oh, sometimes when I open apps it will open in landscape mode, but when I turn the phone to portrait it still won't rotate...
Quite annoying, anyone know if there's some app or data I can restore to fix this (only thing I can think of)
Or if there's another way, I'm willing and able to try anything.
Thanks in advance, zmag
---
SOLVED!
Yeah so... lmao.
I encountered the same problem before (I searched auto-rotate)
I had a seperate post.
I placed my phone on the floor, G-Sensor Calibration - done.

Now here's another I noticed...
You know how when you select a word when writing, the text is magnified in the box - the box is empty and in the wrong spot.
Help! lol
PS: I won't be able to fix this one myself.
PPS: When I do a TWRP Backup, should I select all 5 checkboxes? Will this help? (All my backups only used the default 3)

Warning: whether you preform these steps correctly or incorrectly, you may be left with a device which cannot be recovered to a previous state. Because this process operates on the recovery partition it leaves you with little room to recover if flashed incorrectly, especially if your normal Android mode doesn't boot.
(although realistically you can just flash ESPRIMG.zip from HBOOT to recover, or fastboot)
So here it is ladies and gentlemen: Clockwork 3.0.0.5, based on a git version pulled/compiled on January 6th, 2011 from the CyanogenMod 7.x (CM7) repository. So what's new? Nothing that I can tell! Not sure why it deserves version 3.x, but I guess changing the text color and background is considered a 'major upgrade'.
This is provided in .img format - NOT an update.zip format. That means you'll have to flash it to your recovery partition using flash_image. Obviously that means you first need root AND S-OFF. No, I won't tell you how to root your phone or what S-OFF is.
Instructions:
Code:
$ su
# flash_image recovery recovery-cw3-test1.img
'flash_image' isn't included intentionally - if you're smart enough to know how to flash this properly and understand the risks, then you might be smart enough to know where to get 'flash_image'.
How'd I do it? Top Secret - I'd have to kill you if I told you.

Not from me, sorry. I don't see any point in supporting the legacy method, especially when this version of CW doesn't give any readily-apparent advantages to the older one.
Nice find. I actually have S-OFF but when I start this recovery it is telling me error mounting system, data and others. Is this normal or is something wrong with my setup?

It IS a test build. I'm about to flash it now, I'll let you know if it's just you or not
And FLASH_IMAGE is indeed included, at least its built into cm6.
Edit: it isn't just you, the recovery is practically nonfunctional haha. There are errors all over when you boot into it, mount usb storage crashes it, and it can't mount anything, including the sd card, so its virtually pointless to flash at this point

I was at work when I uploaded the image and because of that I only briefly tested it. The errors at the beginning aren't critical, but I'll look into the overall functionality being broken, at some point tonight.
Hence this being a "TEST".

I appreciate that. I like beta testing new things. It does seem to have a few more functions. I just couldn't revert back.....

Actually.. i see a new option to partition SD card straight from the recovery menu... this is a very useful feature... and i think thats why it deserves that build jump from 2.5 to 3.0..... but at this point... it is in an UNUSABLE state.. i understand it is a test build... but i cannot test anything because it crashes on every single option you can possibly choose... will go back to 2.5 and wait for a stable, or at least more functional test build... hope to see some improvements soon... I do not doubt that you guys can have this thing up and running in no timee.. its a good starting point.. Keep the work going... looking forward to it...

S-off really is a must have. I attached the working build of 3.0.0.5, you have to either use flash_image with it, or fastboot flash, both of which require s-off.

Alright thanks it works now!
title shows the way it is...i've had it UP TO HERE with Boot manager.
I love the HTC Sense 4.1 camera on Newts HTC One XxX ROM but I dont like the bloaty sense framework that It has...right now i'm running AOKP 1.6 Linaro because it's fast and has no sense. unfortunately, I can't have both..and I found out that an app can "dual boot" your phone into 2 separate ROMS so that you can enjoy both. However i've been having NOTHING but PROBLEMS with boot manager. What started off as a simple idea has become a curse spewing nightmare
I'm s-Off and running Snuzzo's kernel from AOKP 1.6
1. I've searched the forums and done everything that other people have said
2. I'm using the Lite Version of Boot Manager since I only need one slot.
3. I have errors with "Error building new boot.img"
4. Disabled SU Logging and even wiped and tried SuperSU instead! (with logging disabled of course)
5. tried to install slot 1 via Zip file AND NANDROID BACKUP. Still having issues!
6. When installs are successful with no errors, when rebooting into the SDCARD Rom it just hangs at the HTC splash screen. mocking me.
7. Tried installing from external and internal storage..same problems...and i'm having a flip flop issue as well in regards to that..**
I'm at my wits end and am about to scrap this whole dual boot idea
**What I will say is that file explorer apps show my SD card as Internal Storage. and the internal storage shows my SDcard files...dafuq?! maybe SD card format?? that's for another forum question though...
If anyone can help me get this to work..I'll thank you and be sure to buy the app. But as for now...I'm glad I didn't spend my damn money!

From what ive heard the app has been abandoned by the developers. I wanted to dual boot too but I got the same error with the error building new boot.img as well so i quit trying. btw are you s-off? the app requires s-off so it can flash the other boot.img of the Sd roms.

what about the other people that have got it working???...how come they didn't have to quit?
Maybe the AOKP ROM i'm using is bad (since the SD CARD and INTERNAL MEMORY labels are switched and it possibly is confusing the boot partition)...perhaps I should try installing the AOKP Rom on sense
Took me a few tries but I did this :
Use ext4
Use internal sd
Force screen on
Install from nandroid
For me it's actually easier to just restore nandroids if u wanna jump from one rom to another..

In AOKP the labels are switched..so use the bullet option "external SD" because the internal SD is labeled as the external.
INTERESTING: when I set boot manager to install to internal (i have to select "external) it STILL installs it to the sdcard but in a folder that says sdcard/sd-ext.
NOT to the actual internal memory. I will move that folder to the real internal memory when the install finishes and see if it will work. If not. I'm almost POSITIVE that the switched Internal Memory and SD card labels in AOKP are to blame...and it that's not the problem. boot manager can f$#k itself.
Edit: I fuking quit. I did everything and the install worked from a sense ROM.but it past the splash screen and hung at a black screen.
I'm such a whore for screencast and that 4.1 Sense camera..i'll stay with One xXx for a while (even though sense ROMS are against my grain)
Boot manager hasn't worked properly with aosp since the mount points were fixed in aosp. It's the way it differs from sense. Using emmc as internal unlike sense which It's mounted as sd card. You can use it to switch between sense roms all you want to but not aosp

im not sure if this is one of the problems but i noticed when i tried to use it earlier that it asked if i was on the newest hboot (2.21) or an older one but we are actually on 2.27 so that could be messing with things
I used to use Boot Manager with 2.25 with no issues, and there isn't much difference between 2.25 and 2.27.
I'm in a very similar boat....I have a recent ota RUU and s-off and bootmanager actually installs for me (yay) but I never have data. EVER. Data never works for any slot roms, only for my phone rom. I hear this is because of AOKP vs sense. My phone rom is Viper rom, and I tried to put AOKP linario for my slot 1. It installs and boots fine but I dont have data. I also tried MIUI but again no data. However if I put them on my phone rom, I have data. I figured I put it on the phone rom, make a nand, put viper back as my phone rom, then nand restore MIUI or linario to a different slot ..... no go - still no data. I think I read here that at this point I can only user boot manager to switch between sense roms and not between aokp/sense.
If it's also true that they dropped support for it I will be extremely sad. I paid for an app that doesn't even work/have suppor then .......
I actually just pm'd both devs the other day. I'd have emailed but their email rejects anything saying "over quota" or something. And their forums give me a 500 http server error.
If you make and headway let me know because I'm lost too
Today, I wanted to flash myself to the "stock RUU" provided by Wind Mobile for my HTC Amaze (4.0.3). Since I no longer had the stock recovery to flash this and, for some reason my phone had cleared the backup I made of HTC sense, I decided to use a trick I read on the forums. This trick some of you may had heard is to Relock the bootloader. Which I did using Hasoon2000's Amaze All in one tool kit. My problem after I had done that was it displayed a "Security Error" in the Bootloader and, each time I turned off the device it will put me in the bootloader with that devastating message. So being the person I am I panicked and, reverted back to what I knew before. So I had unlocked the bootloader again, without having access to Android so far. Now as I turned on the phone, I was greeted with the Cyanogenmod 10 bootscreen. I had thought that it was over.However I could have not been more wrong. It would not get passed the screen. I kept it there for a good hour. Again I knew my next course of action is to go into my recovery which is 4ext for your information. It took longer then usual to get into the recovery. In the past it only took the recovery to the count of 11 to get in however this time at the count of 21 . "Please wait! Recovery takes a long time booting without access to /internal_sdcard" at around the count of 42 it says "Error mounting sdcard" Then the recovery booted into safemode. In safe mode I cannot run backups recoveries or anything. After a bit of looking around at what I can and cannot do I decided to wipe the cache and, return to factory settings. This seemed to work because, Now I can boot into Cyanogenmod 10. However I am now encountering my roadblock. Apps and, the system cannot access the SD saying it is not mounted. Which I find ridiculus because, I had been able to save my Google Account, It synced my settings and, background and, gave me my wifi pass code. I am also to set alarms and, rearrange icons on my homescreen. Now I am not entirely sure but, I am almost certain to does kind of changes you need to write to the internal memory. Another odd thing is I can flash recoveries onto the device from my PC using Hasoon2000's tool. Which from what I remember while dragging files to my phone a week before this is saved to the internal storage. Unfourtionatly I think the worst that there is some corruption on the phone storage. All I know is I cannot install Apps,Can not access my storage in anyway but, use all basic services like phone calls text messages and, data. If any of you have encountered this problem and, fixed it please tell me I am stuck with a crippled phone for another year until I have the ability to purchase another.
Thank you for reading all this I wanted it to be in detail so I won't need to write it later on. Hope this issue can be solved ASP but, I am not picky as of when it can get fixed. If you skimmed it please read it all the way through.

I have not tryed to but it maybe possible since 4ext does show me I have a possibility to format my card. However I am afraid if I do this and, it does not work I maybe left with a pretty serious softbrick. So I need to be insured that I won't brick my device before I get to doing that. Thank you for the suggestion I will take it into account as a last ditch effort if nothing else which seems more favorable to me comes in.(or if I can build up the courage to do it which ever one comes first)
Are you s-on? I don't think you can flash ruu of you are. You need to place the ruu on you SD card and rename it to PH85IMG (for t mobile, may be different for wind). Install it from boot loader. Search the return to stock thread for more info

You have to do that on the external card. Try putting the stock ruu on a micro sd and rename it PH85img and then boot into bootloader.

Thank you I finally built up the confidence to do this. It worked. I appreciate it alot.
Some thing very strange happened yesterday, suddenly my pattern I have used for a year now stopped working. when I click forgot password and sign into my google account it still doesn't work (maybe because I have no internet access?) it says wrong username or password. I found a way to reset the gesturekey through adb, but I think the pattern is blocking my adb, because when I have it plugged in adb devices lists no devices... I am pretty sure usb debugging was on though from when I got my token ID for unlocking the bootloader... any help would be much appreciated. factory reset would be very bad because I NEED the playlists I have on my rezound, HOURS were spent on those and I use them a lot for work and I don't think I can recreate them...
If you can get into recovery (power + vol down), you can flash a ROM without wiping data (only cache / dalvic). I think it should disable all screen security (and return all system settings and apps to their original states), but not affect third-party apps. Alternatively, you could flash a system.img from an RUU using fastboot (something like "fastboot flash system system.img"). Any playlists belonging to third-party apps should be unaffected.
I'm not an expert in this, though, so maybe you should wait for confirmation before trying it. It may also be good to make a nandroid backup first.

Yeah... but the problem with that is is that I am bootloader locked. And to unlock my bootloader I need adb... and you cant flash roms with bootloader locked.
I was hoping someone would have an idea to get me adb access to the device so i could use something like this... in hboot and recovery still adb wont recognize

Try hitting the Emergency Call Button on the lockscreen, then while in the dialer you may be able to access the settings via the notification pull down. I know that there have been several phones in the past that have "Overlooked" bypassing the pattern lockscreen in this manner.
You may also be able to access all of the hidden HTC menus through there "Secret" codes in the dialer. I forget what all of them are but its usually #*#*{number sequence}*#*# > call. There might be something in there to enable USB Debugging.
If you get USB debugging working, there is an old temp root script that we originally used to unlock the rez that should give you Root adb shell access. Copy all of the data in the /data/app/{Your App Package Name} to a folder on your SD Card.That is where your playlists should be saved if they are not saved to the SD Card. If they are in the SD Card, they may be under the Android folder somewhere.

First and second things dont work. any of the secret dialer codes return with an error saying that they arent emergency numbers is there a way to enable usb debugging through hboot or something?

Pull your SD card and pop it into the PC... you might luck out and have your playlists there. What app are are they stored in?
I highly doubt that there is a way to do it through HBOOT. HBOOT is pretty much HTC's Utility for Flashing entire partitions from images to the phones NAND w/o the use of a PC and having a lockout control. IE RUU's, Recovery, and Kernels.
Having a locked bootloader means that you can only flash, with HBOOT, PH98IMG.zip files that have been digitally signed by HTC. So no custom recoveries, or PH98IMG.zips that only have system and kernel images.
I highly suggest that if you manage to get your data... that you backup and unlock or S-OFF your phone. Get a custom recovery on there so that you can nandroid backup and have access to a Root Shell in recovery mode.
Titanium Backup can extract User Data from nandroid backups now in case you ever have to wipe data because of an issue like this.

Now that I am s-offing does anyone know is just a paper clip will work for connecting the pin to gnd? or do i really need a ethernet strip or whatever.

Some people have had luck with a paperclip, but I wasn't able to get it to work after about 30 min of trying. Any piece of wire should be able to work, really. I ended up using a 25-foot speaker cable I had hooked up to my stereo system. Worked fine.

I used a plain paper clip when I did it. Just make sure to ground yourself before hand
You touching some very sensitive parts of the mainboard while doing this
Double Check before hand... I know bootloader unlock wipes your phone. I don't remember if Soff will too
Check your SD Card under the Android and Data folders... your playlists are probably on there somewhere. 98% sure HTC stores playlists on the SD card... just don't remember if it was Internal or External on the rezound
It's best to use a different sd card just in case it gets messed up. Had 2 get deleted, easily fixable , but you will lose data on the card.

thanks so much! alright one last question... i am about to bootloader unlock... i was gonna a few months back and got the unlock_code.bin, but since then it has been a few months and a factory reset, will the same unlock_code.bin work or do I need to get a new one?
EDIT: I got impatient. Yes it worked.

He just means to touch your wrist or hand to something metal prior to your phone to discharge any possible static electricity. Check to see where your music is stored by using file explorer or root explorer because if it is on internal it will get wiped.

He is unable to check via this method because of the lock pattern issue. I believe he is trying to S-OFF so he can flash a new ROM and access his playlist data to export it. I am still Unsure if it is stored on the Internal SD Card, External SD Card or in /data
Static Electricity will murder electronics, some test equipment I've worked with would cost 3-5000 dollars to fix after just a 0.2v static charge.... Typical static charge can be upwards of 10,000 V.
While touching something metal will discharge static electricity, it may not discharge all of it. Touch something metal that is connected to earth ground, like the metal of outside of your computer's case.
Also what I meant by double check was research your S-OFF method... it May wipe your Phone, Internal, and/or External SD Card.
I think the playlists are gone..... they wont show up in the stock music app... but alas... I will make do, but I'm gonna make sure to S-OFF, and install a recovery and get a nandroid on my computer so it doesnt happen again, i just unlocked my bootloader and gotta wait till i get home (I am on vacation right now) in a few days to have access to my linux computer then I will be S-OFF thanks again everybody, especially insertnamehere12! I think I will end up throwing on a rom that lets me use t-mobile usa... any suggestions?
For the code are u talking about *#*#4636#*#*, use it sometimes when my 4g doesn't work lol

Im not sure with ext partitions, but with fat, and fat32 you might be able to recover deleted files with certain utilities. Might be able to recover the playlists that way.

good thought I think I know what you are getting at maybe I'll give that a go...
I installed INFECTION 2.9.1 over my rooted ICS installation, but decided I liked the look of the ICS sense better, so I decided to restore my nandroid image of ICS. It booted up but got stuck on the screen right after the white HTC one. I flashed back to jellybean and tried a FACTORY RESET. It reboots me into RA-VIGOR with the error message "E:Invalid command argument"
I can boot back into jellybean but now it is telling me there is NO INTERNAL memory. Where did it go?
Have I killed my phone here?

No you just didnt read threads or previous quiestions...upon moving from stock to a 4.2 based rom you got the bug from memory on that...you need to switch to twrp if not on that and mount and partition your emmc and internal sd card....this has been a known bug for the longest time now....dont use Amon Ra (RA-VIGOR) as it gives bugs on rom installs for any rom really and it doesnt play nice....such as possible phone overheats, battery drain, and many random reboots even after not upping your min frequency

Yep, you are right, I did not read previous threads as I did not know there was a problem with Amon Ra when I first installed it. The Infection 2.9.1 thread recomemended using it! Anyhow, I have since got a message pop up on the screen that said something about bad memory and told me to format it. I did, and now I can see my internal storage again. It is now empty of course, but what was on it when it was factory ? Is there anywhere I could get a copy of those files from?

Yep, the software that was on it before formatting. It was just whatever default files were on the phone from the factory, and I assume some of them files were to restore the phone to factory. Is there anywhere I could find those files and just copy them back to the phone?

Oh, so I don't need any of the files that were on the internal memory then? That would be good. Hey, as you seem to be very knowledgeable about all this (and i'm most definatly not , what I ultimatley would like is jellybean with the sense clock and weather . I also noticed from the infected rom that the camera did not report how many pictures could be taken with the available memory left. Is there is a rom out there can satisfy my needs? The phone is S-on BTW
Thanks for all your help so far

if you mean internal as in the 10gb usable memory that pictures and stuff store to than thats cool....dont delete anything in the root of system if thats what you mean...ill look into the specifications you want...ive seen a few...as far as sense clock and weather there is a few apps you can download in the market that replicate it and is themable

Yes, it is the internal 10gb that I meant. For a while it was not showing, either on the phone or in windows. After the message on the phone came up to format it (which I did) I could then see it in both windows and on the phone. I had not taken any notice of what was on it beforehand. I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks as it was given to me by a friend who was cut off from Verizon for not paying his bill !! I shoved in a TMOBILE sim from a spare phone I had and it works just fine for making calls but only Edge for data (not that it matters as I have a Optimus L9 for data)
Any info you could find would be most appreciated.

to go back to stock you actually have to first s-off and unlock the bootloader....also 4.2 reboots furiously if you dont set things up right...try a 4.3 rom like Tachyon or Carbon Rom....on either one of those ive yet to have a randoom reboot on proper settings that i set up

I was looking at the Tachyon rom yesterday as it happens, but I read somewhere that in 4.3 they changed something with the way memory is handled? and that you can no longer select the external SD card in the camera app, only the internal memory. Is that right?

yes but to be honest....stock is the same exact way
Edit...if your looking for a good fresh fast and to have everything work but base build go with tachyon....if your looking for fully customizable everything thats fast and stable go with carbon rom or pac 4.3....also you can download and replace the stock gallery with one that does save to internal sd card which is 10gb...you can always transfer to external sd as well as to a pc
