What am I doing wrong - HTC Rezound

K so I dled infection. Extracted the boot.img, and put it into a ph98img.zip. I then flashed the rom.. Said install complete and I went to hboot. It doesn't ask for an update or anything.... Then stays on the white HTC screen when I try to reboot..

Check to make sure your ph98img.zip isn't a zip within a zip. Often times windows hides the extention so it reads ph98img.zip but it's really ph98img.zip.zip
Also you'll need an updater script so the hboot knows what the file is. You can find this by pulling it from a working ph98img.zip like one from an RUU or kernel (joelz's bamf kernel has one)

Thanks I'll give that a go I have the bamf kernel dled. I just used a template for the ph98img.zip and threw the boot.img in it

Yeah... Idk what's wrong haha. I'm using a mac and things are a little different. Like when I dl a ROM it sends the zip to the trash leaving an unzipped folder on the the screen...

If you have an ADB folder set up (with fastboot) you should be able to just "fastboot flash boot.img" That would save you a lot of hassle if you remain s-on.

did you try the flux capacitor?
you can ask marty mcfly or doc brown about it...

make sure its all caps PH98IMG.zip

Finally got it using the command prompts.. Messing around I flashed it. My noobness to it made it a little difficult but finally got the hang of it

Recovery

I am trying to flash GSBv2.1 and after I move the file to the sdcard folder and reboot into recovery, the file does not show up in the flash zip section of recovery. Thanks in advance.

Have you checked to make sure the zip file is in the root of the sd card (ie not in a folder)?

Also, did you use the Safely Remove Hardware notification icon in the lower right corner (assuming we're talking from Windows)? This isn't always necessary, but it doesn't hurt and makes sure all files were done being written to the SD card before telling you it's okay to dismount the SD card from the computer.
I did have it in the root folder and I downloaded it directly to my phone using wifi, so no windows. I ended up getting it to work by deleting the last file I added to my root before this one then it showed up. But it wouldn't show up when I removed older roms that were in my root. Which still has me confused.

There definitely is a limitation on the total number of files which it will display.
From the way you describe it, it sounds like it displays in descending order of timestamps, and when the "scroll buffer" fills up, the first few lines that are displayed - including the newest ROM you had downloaded - scroll right off the top and are no longer visible.
In any event, now you know what the problem is - it can only display a certain number of .zip files total.
Yeah, that makes sense and is exactly what I was thinking until I tried deleting 7 or 8 zip files and rebooted to check. It then showed a lot less zips in recovery but the most recent one still was not there. Then I deleted the second most recent zip and then it showed up.

Stock System Dump

I might get flamed, but it's okay. What are the command lines for doing a system dump on the Note. I've tried performing one, but not having much luck doing it. It could be wrong commands lines. IDK. Im trying to make a stock CWM flashable zip. I would like to start on my own rom. Please no laughing.Lol.

Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
there are other ways to get a dump, like simply getting the content:
Code:
tar czvf /sdcard/system.tgz /system
both commands need root, and they are quite possibly not on the device by default, so you probably need busybox
i don't really recommend the second command, because some other blocks are mounted into the system (like the modem),
so you would get unnecessary data
Thank you very much. :thumbup:

there should be a few ext4 drivers or mount tools out there,
google, download one that looks good, and mount the image,
then you should have the drive mounted, and you should be able to access/modify the data

Any way to redo the NVFlash process on a working Prime

I got all the commands to work, but didn't drag the files from the Android Root file straight off my Prime to the directory where they were were supposed to go (I uploaded them to Drop box instead) So if I wanted to, could I redo the nvflash process again? Sorry for the confusing post.

If you have the AndroidRoot bootloader flashed, you can just to the "fastboot -i 0xb05 boot nvfblobgen.img" and the files will be regenerated. (Also, if you have them in dropbox, couldn't you just download them from there? )
Rayman, YOU da man! Thanks for your help!

Change LCD density?

Has anyone tried this yet via editing the build prop file? I want to give it a try but some phones don't play nice with changing the density.

I got it to work. Copy the build.prop file to your computer and make your changes there. Then reboot your phone into recovery (TWRP is what I used), mount System (in TWRP), ADB push the edited file back onto your phone, and then use the TWRP file manager to apply CHMOD 755 onto the file. Then reboot and enjoy.
That last step (CHMOD) may not be necessary. I never tried leaving that step out to confirm one way or the other.

Is it possible to flash a recovery with terminal emulator?

I know goo manager uses root permission to flash a recovery while the phone is on. So I was wondering if terminal emulator could do the same. I know this question is probably very noob-ish, but I'm curious.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You should be able to with root permission
You think you could enlighten me on the "how to"?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yea its the same as when u do it via command prompt just do su at the start
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Place the recovery on the root of your sd card. Make sure its not in any folders. Rename the recovery img "recovery.img" without the quotes. Then open up terminal. Type "su" without the quotes. Then when you receive the # sign, then type this
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(and press enter)
you will now get this
#
now type
reboot recovery
and you should boot into your recovery you just flashed.

Its cool man we all been there. But as om4 posted you should always give exact details on what it is your trying to do or wanting to do. That way you get the best feedback. Also you can use the method I posted above to flash the stock recovery. However if you type the "reboot recovery" command and boot into the stock recovery you will have to hard shut down via power button to exit/reboot I believe. Not a 100% sure as I haven't seen the stock recovery since I first got this phone.

make sure that the file is in the right directory. Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, you did extract the image file from the archive I linked?
