I try it to back on ics but something happend and my phone cant turn on.Now I cant flash anything cuz cwm says cant mount sd card...What can I do now ?
Calm down, you have upgraded to JB and JB hboot?
That means you have to edit your backups and/or ROMs you want to use, because the partition tables have changed.
just reflash cwm over fastboot after you unlocked again, then you should at least be able to install SkyDragon as it supports JB hboot.
Thanks for the answer .Yes I somehow didnt change the update-script and after few restart (3-4) on cwm was able to flash from sd card.Now all looks fine .

HERE IS WHAT I DID ..
UNLCOCKED BOOTLOADER WITH DOS PROGRAM
-downloader rom manager and flashed cwm but anytime i turn off the phone and boot into recovery it shows a exclamation point if i dont flash cwm and do recovery through rom manager and i have to flash cwm from rom manager everytime i need to go into recovery which i know is not right.
- do i need to flash Cyan 5.0.2.3-atrix4.1 / ZIP version. to have a recovery so i can do back ups?
- and also i just downloaded the cm7 zip, do i unzip on my sd card copy to internal or just throw the zip on and copy?
-when i was able to get in to recovery after flashing cwm the beta.zip does not show in the internal or the sd card since it copied to both so im not sure if i need to flash that recovery i posted above to see the zip or not? if you could help answer these i would appreciate it.

ok youve got a lot going on there
first things first. CM7 changes the storage locations for the SD cards so thats why you cant see those
the reason cm7 isn't booting is because you were using the wrong recovery. you need to fast boot flash romracers latest recoverhy for that to work.
that should also fix hour disappearing recovery problem,
id reccomend using a fruitcake to get back to stock and starting over
ok so i have only unlocked the bootloader nothing else im trying to get a recovery so i can actually put the cm7 zip in so i can flash to recovery. so i should flash rom racers recovery? and then do i flash cwm after i have the recovery, because the cm7 directions say too do so. i sincerely appreciate you helping me
Hey guys I made something bad to my legend. Now I have to flash .img files throught fastboot, but I've lost my NANDroid of Stock ROM and other NANDroids are not signed and I can't flash them. I can't S-OFF ( I can't turn on the phone, it bootloops, and I can't mount SDcard in clockwork recovery ). I already chosed DISABLE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION in clockworkmod. I still can't flash other NANDroid's .img. So, could anyone upload his NANDroid of official HTC's ROM for Legend? Thanks a lot... I like my legend and I want it back!
Sorry can't help ya here... Try Googling it, the file might pop out. But if all's lost factory reset?
Sent from my Legend using xda premium
Well, now I have a stock ROM "running". WiFi doesn't initialize ( Error ), if I start it with MicroSD in it just Bootloops at the "y" of "Quietly Brilliant" bootanimation and if I switch it on when not charging ( even if battery is fully charged ) my Legend just infinitely bootloops at the green htc logo just before the bootanimation. Also, can't mount SDcard in Clockwork recovery.
I already googled it, without results. Nobody needs a system.img backup and similar things. If there is one on the web, it is too hidden and I haven't enought time.
Thanks for trying. My Legend is so grateful to you
have you tried digging in the RUU files? i think the stuff you need is in side the rom.zip where we rename this rom.zip to LEGEIMG.zip and leave it at the root of a gold card to downgrade thinggy. extract it you have lots of .img... this files can be found from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725430 you can look for the other tho...
i dont remember we can just flash .img to our legend without s-off or security-off in fastboot.
if you cant mount your sd-card you can use a card reader.
but since you can go in to CWM with fake flash or you have change your recovery. why not use another card to flash. who knows you have a bad card?
Thanks, but I can't mount SDcard. With a SDcard it would be easy, but actually I can't get it mounted, both in recovery and OS.
I sent my legend to HTC Service, and now I'm waiting for their report.
Should I sign this thread "solved", even if it isn't solved but I just don't need anymore the img files?
I have CWM Touch recovery and Tachyon 1.1 installed. I decided to flash TWRP recovery by downloading the .zip from Flyhalf's thread (TWRP_2.6.3.0_Vigor_PH98IMG) and putting it on my internal SD as PH98IMG.zip (yeah, I know -- stupid idea).
Now when I reboot, the HTC screen comes up for a moment, the phone vibrates once and then powers down. At that point, I have to pull the battery if I want to try again. I can (after pulling battery) boot to bootloader from which I can still reboot to my CWM recovery, but I can't boot the phone normally. I assume this is because of the PH98IMG.zip on my internal storage?
What do I need to do to remove that file so that I can get back to "normal". I do not have a backup (because I was expecting to flash TWRP which doesn't use the CWM format for backups). I would rather not factory reset/re-format my internal SD unless that is my only option.
What are my options?
I've learned not to panic when I "think" I've done something terrible, but I am really starting to panic this time.
In CWM, when I go to Mounts & Storage, I am unable to mount anything except the /sdcard. I can NOT mount /cache, /data, /system, or /emmc. When I boot to HBOOT, I am unable to communicate with phone from PC.
Assuming I find a way to mount my SD card on my PC, could I copy a ROM to the external card, wipe/partition everything other than my card and re-flash the ROM to force re-formatting of all my partitions? Or should I begin trying to decide between the HTC One, Moto X and LG G2??

If you're now able to get into recovery, just copy a new rom over to the SD Card and install it. Worst case, if you're s-off, RUU your phone back to stock and start over with re-installing your recovery, restoring your rom.
The PH98IMG being on any internal or exteternal is not causing any problems for you on boot and would only be cumbersome when booting into hboot. It sounds to me that you should boot into recovery and clean flash a rom again. Even in recovery, you can mount either internal or external sd as usb storage and access it via your pc where you can remove or delete any file in them.

Get a rom on your sd card, whether external or internal and clean flash in recovery. fastboot flash the boot.img if you're s-on via rebooting to bootloader and doing it through fastboot
Thank you both for your responses. I tried to flash a new ROM from recovery but it didn't work; presumably because it could not write to /system, etc. Instead, I installed a RUU by following these instructions and flashed TWRP recovery as an img file with fastboot (extracted from here). As a result, I have a working phone, although it is ICS and Sense 3.6 -- blech!
My next question is: How do I upgrade to the latest HBOOT and radios? Although the CM 10.2 FAQ suggests following the above process to get the latest and greatest, the links provides HBOOT = 2.27.0000 and radios = 2.22.10.0801r; 2.22.10.0803r.
Second question: once I update HBOOT and radios, can I just reboot into recovery (via HBOOT) and flash Tachyon 1.1.5 or do I first need to partition/format mount points to prepare them for a 4.3 ROM?
I bungled my way through all these steps so long ago that I don't remember what hoops I had to jump through to get back to my "comfort zone" with Tachyon.

newest hboot and radios http://d-h.st/BIj ...place it in the main area of your external sd card and rename it and make sure it looks like PH98IMG.zip bot to bootloader by holding power and volume down after a battery pull to boot to it....this is the same method to get to a custom recovery to flash a rom bud...if s-on dont forget to flash boot.img outta the rom you are flashing
---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
also after you flash a 4.3 rom you have to format, partition and wipe internal sdcard and emmc
Thanks for the linkREV3NT3CH!! I scoured the web and found another link on XDA but it was broken.
I was able to flash the firmware update and install Tachyon 1.1.5 finally and now everything is back to "normal". Hope work doesn't mind that nothing got done today and I'll be stopping home to buy a microSD card reader for my computer after borrowing a co-worker's -- life saver!
I just booted up on the new ROM in time to hear the HORRIBLE low battery alarm. Not cool Neo; not cool at all.

lol glad you got it working bud....once its charged tachyon has great battery life fyi
Ok, so I recently got my Desire X and wanted to root it, I chose the Half Sense rom and did these steps
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted and flashed CWM onto it as my recovery
Went to flash the Half Sens ROM with aroma,
I then flashed the extra zip file but then I had a blank lit screen when I try to boot (after HTC logo)
I realized it was because I didn't flash the boot.img file so I did that,
However now all I get is a HTC Logo with red text underneath for about a second, and then the screen will go blank.
I can access Fastboot, Bootloader, Recovery mode and I can put stuff on my micro sd card. I have fastboot and adb on my computer too.
How do I get this phone working or at least restore it to default settings??!!
Is it the rom?
I have no backup file (stupidly)
Advice will be thanked!! I really need it.
try reflashing rom....if u have jb hboot, u may need to change ur version of recovery...and then reflash rom with boot.img.....i hope this solves ur prob
This is my first time rooting my device and all that, I'm still a noob and forever will be.
anyway I followed the normal steps where you download Odin and everything went fine and my phone was still working now I had to update the CWM version to 6.0.4 or something so I downloaded the Kit-Kat compatible zip file and upgraded the version to what I wanted it to be.
Now I read in one of the steps that I need to backup my files and so I did but now I can't recover it and my phone doesn't turn on I'm stuck in CWM I can still see my files on the phone and when I restore it does name the files I already had but my phone does not work just goes black ...so either CWM or a black screen.
My PC does not recognize the phone, Kies doesn't either.
Did I nuke my phone?

i can't understand: are you able to access CWM (using the three button combination) or you can't even turn on your phone?
If you can access CWM, go in "mounts and storage" and select "mount USB storage", then connect your phone to the computer and see if it is recognized

Never mind, I figured it out, thanks anyway
Hi all,
I am in the same situation, but can't figure it out.... I wanted to upgrade to Kitkat so I downloaded Supernexus 4.0 but the install from zip fails everytime I attempt it.. So I'm stuck in the CWM and I don't have a backup ROM to install...
I checked the md5 sum of the ROM, it's ok.
I wipe the /data partition, the cache and the dalvik cache before installing from zip..
I installed the last CWM version (v6.0.4.5).
I don't know what to do next because the only ROM I have in my phone is the supernexus 4.0 which cannot be installed and I cannot mount my phone using "mount USB storage" in CWM, my PC doesn't see the phone mass storage..
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Hervé

Always keep a working kernel/rom .zip in you internal memory so if you are stuck you don't need to use Odin!
Try to use another USB port or another computer to see if it is recognized, or if you have a MicroSD load a rom on that and insert it in your phone.
if not, you have to use Odin and flash a kernel or rom using the pc.
