You need to flash Gapps (20121212) as well.
Or you can wrote down your step, then more easier to known your problem.

I am on the screen at the moment saying "Android is upgrading..." "Starting apps."
It has been on this screen now for about half an hour.
I have flashed gapps already although i may have done the wrong one but how can i get the one you just linked me onto my phone when its not even booting properly?
Thanks.

You need to go back the Recovery mode and flash the gapps..
Turn off your phone, Hold down the Volume Key (-) and press Power button to boot into bootloader.
This is quick step for you:
Installation:
install kernel
full wipe
flash rom
flash gapps
reboot into rom

Your need to go back ur ROM.zip file, and extract the boot.img. That is your boot.img... Any ROM got own boot.img.
So you not flash yet your BOOT.IMG.

You'll need to open the zip file of the ROM you've flashed and find the boot.img contained within. Then use Hasoon's AIO Toolkit for HOX+ to flash the kernel (the bottom left option).
For some more information, the boot.img contains the kernel and the ramdisk for the device and is flashed to the boot partition of the device. Because the HOX+ is still S-OFF, we cannot flash the ROM and kernel together. We must flash the kernel (boot.img) separately using a utility called fastboot; the toolkit automates this process.

check the post #10, go to use the Hasson's AIO Kit to flash is more easier.
you need to install HTCDriver.exe from Hasson's AIO Kit.

If the toolkit is not working, you'll need to do it manually I suppose.
1. Find the folder in the toolkit that contains fastboot.exe and navigate to that folder in a command prompt.
2. Hold the power and volume down buttons until your phone reboots into a white screen.
3. Connect it by USB if it isn't already and type "fastboot devices" and ensure that your device is listed (will just be a string of letters and numbers).
4. Once that works, type "fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img" (I would recommend putting the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot.exe to make things easier on yourself).
5. If that command is executed successfully, run "fastboot reboot" if your device hasn't already rebooted.

Hi!
I'n kinda new to XDA but anyway.. Im running CM7 and have a HTC Legend. Last week I was stupid enough and tried to update Superuser from Rom Manager and the result? Superuser wont open anymore.. It always force closes and I have lost my root access. I cant even get in to CWM
What am I going to do?
Please help me!
Easiest thing to do would do a restore from a nandroid backup. If you don't have one, then download a pre-rooted stock rom, or another rom. Hope this helps.

How do I reboot into recovery ? Should I rename it update.zip or what?
Thnx for replies.
Press Power and selecPress down on the Trackball, hold Volume Down & the Power button until the device boots to the bootloader. Once in the bootloader, use Volume Down to select "recovery" and press the Power button and select reboot -recovery.
Or turn your phone off and:
Press down on the Trackball, hold Volume Down & the Power button until the device boots to the bootloader. Once in the bootloader, use Volume Down to select "recovery" and press the Power button to select.
Then you select install zip from sd and select the superuser zip.

I know a solution for LG phones but not for HTC, sorry.
You can flash(install) CWM in the bootloader, but i don't know how...
Edit: I'm not sure: Don't do it before someone says that this is correct.
I have no experience with fastboot, just with recovery etc.
You must go into the bootloader, connect your phone to the computer and open terminal, write
fastboot flash recovery (here you must write the name of the image, that must be on the computer in the same folder as fastboot[where you installed android sdk)

Ok, that is the stock recovery. An easy way is to use this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638, flash CWM recovery, then boot into CWM recovery and flash superuser (you do not have to rename it).

Ok. Boot your device into fastboot. Then do:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you are using this exact command, make sure you rename the recovery to "recovery.img".

You have to go back to Fastboot, get the boot img, place it in your fastbood folder and navigate to ist.
then do the following
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Then Reboot the device and it should be Start.

How do i access the boot.img, when the file is in a zip? when i press it, it starts the rom, and gets stuck on "initiating swagger"
1. Download the ROM on to your PC.
2. Transfer a copy of the ROM Zip file to the phone.
3. On the PC, extract the ROM Zip file.
4. Open the extracted folder.
5. You will find the boot.IMG in the extracted folder. Using a toolkit or a command line, write the boot image to the phone while it is in bootloader mode.
6. Flash the ROM.
7. Flash any additional packages.
8. Reboot.
Edit: For adb sideload:
Follow steps 1, 3, 4, and 5, then sideload, then reboot

Open the .zip with 7zip or winrar and extract the boot.img or look in the rom thread if there is a downloadable boot.img, there's also a boot.img flasher around here in a toolkit. Don't know which one it is, didn't rooted/Unlocked yet.
Which ROM did you download?
The boot.img is either pointed out in the first post of the Custom ROM or it is in the download .zip
You need to copy the boot.img you find in the ADB/fastboot folder, then boot the X+ into the bootloader, select the fastboot option with the vol+/- and then connect the X+ with your computer.
I am not familiar with the all-in-one-toolkit but if I remember correctly you can flash it within the program.
The Insert Coin ROM and others have a kernel flasher. But I never used one of those either.
Look around a bit. Once the appropriate boot.img of the ROM you want has been flashed the ROMM will boot up.

done. Quite honestly you should read up before flashing rom's ALL the info is in this forum.
Sorry if I'm thread jacking, but is there a way to flash a kernel from in the phone itself? my PC took a dump, it'll be a few weeks till i can afford to replace it.
Great news everyone!
I saved my phone, and its now working like stock normal
The problem was that i flashed an entire zip file instead of a boot.img file, causing my phone to bootloop, after countless tries to fix this, I decided to unroot the phone with fastboot, recovery and a RUU file.
My phone is now working, thanks for helping!
Until we get S-OFF, we can't flash kernels from the phone itself.

So, sorry if i'm thread bumping, but if I want to give it a try again at flashing a rom, and try avoiding what happen last time
Are these the following step correct?
Do a backup of current rom in cwm recovery
Wipe data/factory reset 3 times in cwm recovery
Wipe cache partition in cwm recovery
Wipe dalvik cache cwm recovery
Flash the zip containing the cm10.1 zip
And can I do all this without the need of installing rom manager?
Don't forget that you need to flash the kernel separately. Because we don't have S-OFF on our device, we have to flash the kernel from a PC.
1. Extract boot.img (this is the kernel) from the ROM zip file
2. Open a cmd prompt and cd to the directory containing the extracted boot.img
3. Connect your device and reboot it to the bootloader with the command:
adb reboot bootloader
4. Flash the kernel with the commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
5. Reboot your device with:
fastboot reboot
You can do these steps before or after flashing the ROM but remember that you should have the android SDK platform-tools folder in your PATH before it'll work (assuming you use windows).

Can't I just use the toolkit for my hox+? Hasoon2000 says you can just flash a kernel? I could be wrong though.
I believe you can, and that the way I described above is actually the way Hassoon's toolkit does the job. Just make sure the boot image is named correctly for the toolkit to pick it up, and make sure you put it in the correct folder (from memory, it's the "kernels" folder).
I use Linux, so Windows users feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes.

First off, I don't know if this is the perfect place for this thread so I apologize in advance.
I have a HTC Evo 4G LTE and I accidentally wiped everything with TWRP. It can boot to the bootloader/fastboot menus and TWRP no problem, but I can't install anything. Maybe i'm just doing everything in the wrong order. Both the SD card and the Internal SD cards have been formatted to what they're supposed to be (caused me a bit of trouble at first). My phone is set to S-On, which is a pain in the ass, because from what I understand I can't turn it off to flash a new ROM without an OS, which I don't have. Every time I attempt to install the stock ROM for my device the phone restarts when attempting to install the kernel, included in the ROM. I borrowed my friend's identical phone, rooted it and installed TWRP, created a backup, moved the backup to my phone's ext SD card and attempted to recover off of that but my TWRP can't find any of the files, but they show up just fine with the file explorer.
I've properly srewed myself. Any advice?

I am new to ROM flashing, I just kind of got thrown into it, lol. Please elaborate? I'm assuming flashing is installing the rom with TWRP. I flash the rom, wipe cache/dalvik, then flash again? I'll try it then post results in a minute.
Result: Doesn't work, when it says "installing Kernel, please wait...", it stays on that message for a minute or so then the phone attempts to reboot into a nonexistant OS, effectively stopping itself so I have to restart into TWRP again with no progress made.
I think you want to let it reboot in between the two flashes. I have no idea why it makes a difference, but it does.

Some Sense ROM's include a kernel installer to help facilitate flashing while S-on. You'll need to check the ROM OP and see. Otherwise the kernel can be flashed via fastboot. For more info hit the top link in my sig.

It can't. It reboots while attempting to install the kernel then freezes because there's no OS to boot to.
Try flashing the kernel first. Extract the boot.img file from the ROM zip archive using your computer. Then, with the phone connected to the PC via USB, boot into the bootloader and go to fastboot. It should change to "fastboot USB". Then use the fastboot tool from a command prompt to verify connectivity and flash the kernel.
To verify connectivity, type fastboot devices. You should see your device's serial number of its connected properly.
To flash the kernel, type fastboot flash boot boot.img. If the boot.img file and fastboot executable are in different directories, you'll need to include the path to the file. Or just put them in the same directory.
Once you've flashed the kernel, try flashing the ROM through recovery again.

Doesn't work. I can plug my phone in all I want but it will never change to fastboot usb. It stays in fastboot just fine and I can still boot TWRP, but there's no fastboot usb. I've reinstalled drivers and tried 32 bit LiveCD ubuntu. I may need to install firmware on this stupid phone.
From the main bootloader screen, you're pressing the power button on fastboot to go into fastboot, right? And from there you can never get it to go to fastboot USB?

HOWEVER, I screwed up again. I reinstalled Ubunto on my laptop and now fastboot usb works just fine.
Sometimes it hurts to live. Now I just need to find out how to flash with fastboot on ubuntu.

Progress.
To get the fastboot binaries on Ubuntu, you can either download and install the Android SDK and install the platform tools or go download DirtyRacun from unlimited.io. The binaries are included in the .tar archive. You may need to use the chmod command on the fastboot and adb binaries to add permissions to execute the binaries.
Once you have the binaries executable, the commands are the same, except you'll have to elevate with sudo. So, assuming you're working in the directory where you have the fastboot executable and the boot.img file, the commands would be:
sudo ./fastboot devices
sudo ./fastboot flash boot boot.img

This is what happens. My phone just sits there, the screen doesn't change, but it does say Fastboot USB. I restarted my phone but it got stuck at the dev boot screen with legal warnings in red text.
Addition: Booted to recovery to flash the ROM zip, not just the boot image, still restarts when attempting to install the Kernel.
The screen on your phone won't change when flashing the kernel with fastboot. After flashing it, press the power button on Fastboot to go back to the main bootloader screen and go to recovery to get into TWRP. From there, flash the .zip of the ROM that you pulled boot.img from like you normally would from TWRP (Install, select .zip, wipe cache/data, etc).

I just did this, and the phone gets stuck at the dev boot screen that says HTC with the red legal text.
Have you tried a different ROM? Maybe try CM or Viper 4G. If you go the Viper 4G route, try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
I think the newest Viper 4G changes the partition layout or something, so I think that would just further complicate things at the moment.

Yeah, I think I'll try cyanogenmod or stock android. Thank you for the suggestion, now i'll go see if it works.
No problem. If you decide to go the CM route, deck's CM11 is pretty great.

I went on with installing DirtyRacun (http://unlimited.io/jewel.htm) and made it to step 12. As my phone ws rebooting it once again got stuck at that HTC red text dev warning screen. So now i'm stuck again.

I didn't use DirtyRacun to S-OFF (I used RumRunner), so I can't speak on this with much authority. Just to confirm I understand correctly, though, you flashed the RUU (step 9), rebooted into the bootloader (step 10), and re-did the HTC Dev Unlock (step 11). Then, as it's booting up into the ROM installed via the RUU, it gets stuck?
Were you able to get anywhere with flashing Cyanogenmod? Or did you just decide to go through the S-OFF process instead?

WARNING!!!
This process will wipe your phone completely. Backup your storage before you continue.
I am also not responsible if anything goes wrong.
FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE STEP
or you will end up in a bootloop, or with a bricked phone, and we don't want that
Let's get started!!
Setting up
For this process, you will need to:
★Install adb and fastboot drivers. To do this, use this simple program:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
For MAC and Linux users: simply follow these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638673
Off-topic: installing ADB and Fastboot so easily, what a time to be alive!
★Download the latest factory images from here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#angler
★Extract the archive you downloaded (Use WinRAR). It should look like this:
★Unlock your bootloader (In case you haven't already). Only follow step 1 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
Flashing the factory images
There is more than one way to flash these images. Each give the same results, but the first is for lazy (or smart) users
Method 1. Easy method.
★Power off your phone.
★Boot it in fastboot by pressing and holding Power Button + Volume Down at the same time.
★Connect your phone to your PC through your USB cable.
★Execute the flash-all.bat script (for Windows) or flash-all.sh(for MAC and LINUX) in the folder where you extracted the factory images.
**!!** For MAC: You'll have to edit the flash-all.sh, and add "./" before every fastboot command.
★Wait for everything to flash.
★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons.
★When a small dead Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP.
★Select "Wipe data/factory data reset"
★Reboot. Your phone should be stock. :good:
Method 2. Long method (Same thing actually, but I'll mention it, just in case first one does not work)
★Extract the image-angler-xxxxxx.zip from the previously extracted folder somewhere easy to access (On C:\images for example. Make it easy to type). You will have the following files:
★In the new folder, from the original archive/folder, extract "bootloader-angler-angler-XX.XX.img" (rename it to bootloader.img) and "radio-angler-angler-XX.XX" (rename it to radio.img)
★Power off your phone.
★Boot it in fastboot by pressing and holding Power Button + Volume Down at the same time.
★Connect your phone to your PC through your USB cable.
★Open a CMD window.
★Type the following commands, in this order (If you have a different folder, change the path)
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader C:/images/bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:/images/radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system C:/images/system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:/images/vendor.img
fastboot flash userdata C:/images/userdata.img
(Note: this command will wipe your device (including /sdcard), EVEN if your bootloader is already unlocked.)
fastboot flash boot C:/images/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery C:/images/recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache C:/images/cache.img
★After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons.
★When a small Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP.
★Select "Wipe data/factory data reset"
★Reboot. Your phone should be stock. :good:
And now you have a brand new Nexus 6P (software wise, at least). Congratulations!

I thought that a separate thread would raise its visibility and would be easier to spot for users that do not know their way around XDA that well.

Can you describe what exactly did you do?
At which point did you encounter the error?
When I download the images it doesn't contains Angler-bootloader and Radio.img. It only contains one file with the boot.img, etc... I tried downloading all the 6.0.0 link and it's all the same . I don't understand.
Thank you for the post. Hope I don't need to use it tho. :good:
I cannot make phone calls through the phone app?
I followed directions step by step but every time I get to the dead android guy and hold vol up + pow. I do not get the "stock" recovery where I could choose to data/factory reset, I just get the little dead android guy again.
Any help?
Nice guide

From Heisenberg post says that
Note: You should never flash the userdata image. It doesn't take into consideration the storage capacity of the device and always allocates 32gb of storage. This is ok for the 32gb model, but for the 64gb and 128gb models you'll end up with much less storage capacity than you should have.

And I have 64gb of storage. should I wipe or flash?

You can do both. Just in case, your storage spaces shows reductions after flashing (Like my 64GB variant shows 32 GB), you can fix it by wiping data from stock recovery.
If you're not willing to remove the data on your internal storage, you can skip flashing userdata.img.

Vendor.img is already included in the factory image. If you used flash-all.bat script, it must have been flashed. What commands did you precisely use to flash the factory image?

Don't ever flash it. It has no benefit and only causes problems. If you need to wipe your storage use this command:
Code:
fastboot format userdata

Did you wipe data with TWRP first? That's probably what's causing your problems. Vendor most likely has nothing to do with it.

I used the wug tool kit and it worked
Hello,
I'm trying to get a (permanent) TWRP installation on my OnePlus Nord 2. But after flashing the (latest official) TWRP image via fastboot to recovery I can enter it once if I press Power+VolDown directly during the reboot to recovery. But after the next reboot Power+VolDown starts the fastboot mode, Power+VolUp just boots the normal system and trying "adb reboot recovery" brings me to the standard recovery mode. For me it looks like the twrp image gets overwritten with the next reboot (something I found happens if you don't press Vol+PowerDown on your first restart after the installation but I did that [multiple tries]).
And when I try to directly boot the twrp image (without flashing it) it manages to send the file but fails on booting with "FAILED (Status read failed (No such device)). Same if I try with sudo.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if it's a known bug I simply didn't find anything about?
Sincerely,
Sanaway
Hi, IIRC, right after flashing you have to boot into recovery using fastboot reboot recovery
Don't use the button combination, do it from the command line for the first boot (this should solve it if my memory serves me right)

It works for the first boot (and if I reboot to recovery from TWRP again, even mutiply times) but as soon as I power off once and reboot normally it is gone again.

What exactly are you doing?
What you need to do is
1. Boot to fastboot
2. flash recovery fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
3. Once flashed, reboot to recovery, not system fastboot reboot recovery or fastboot boot <recovery.img>
I had this issue and if I boot to recovery it did not get overwritten

Found this in another thread, maybe try this as well
For that when we reboot after typing
fastboot reboot recovery
Immediately press volume down+ power button till you saw the recovery name at the bottom om the phone screen and leave the phone it will boots to twrp that's it.
Already tried both. In the end if it doesn't work I'll just reflash it every time I need it. Annoying but nothing impossible.

HI. I think you need to flash Magisk or what ever root you want to use at first boot to TWRP.
It makes TWRP to stick

After I rooted the phone TWRP sticks but I can't start it by key combination. But that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

OK. I hope you know that Nord 2 doesn't like to be rooted. It will be soft bricked max 2 weeks or so ( usually) so make good backup (TWRP backup is hard to restore if at all). So be prepared and learn how to recover.
As long as you root a CLEAN ROM (I've explained multiple times in various threats what that is - stock rom (re)installed by OP, than rebooted to stock recovery, whipe, re-flash stock by OP servicepoint) and rooting will be damn fine. Mine runs for 3 months stable as hell. But. If you do not do as above, the question is not IF you are getting troubles but WHEN.
