Newbie Help - Flyer Jelly Bean Upgrade Fail - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hey everyone, first off thanks for reading this thread. So I was trying to upgrade my BB Flyer Wifi to Jelly Bean following a guide. I was able to unlock my bootloader using the HTC bootloader unlock site. I also copied Super-user to my internal SD and confirmed it ran successfully.
Now here's where things went wrong, I loaded the ClockWorkMod recovery image and I am able to access the Recovery section with no issue. I can also access my tablet via adb and fastboot. Since I had copied the zip for the Jelly Bean I used the Recovery and chose "select zip from SD card" as described in the guide. The installer ran and it seemed everything went fine but after reboot it just stays on the jelly bean loading screen( X with four colors). I have still have access to the Recovery, Bootloader and adb.
The other thing is I can use adb push to a push a file but I can't seem to find where the file is.. for example:
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
but when I browse in Recovery to /sdcard it gives me an error cannot mount /sdcard!/. If I push anywhere else it seems to go but when I browse I don't see the file and I cannot seem to be able to access the internal sd card from my PC via adb push..
Is there anything I can do to recover from this? Any direction would be greatly appreciated as I have been reading and trying to get this thing to boot a droid os for almost 2 days now.

Ok, here's the update. I am able to now access the interal sd card, I can access the ROM.zip files I place there and from CWM Recovery I am able to run the installers. It seems the ROMs install but after I reboot I get a loading screen and that's it. I have my bootloader unlocked, I can see this from recovery mode. I also see it says S-ON. Do I need to have either my bootloader locked or S-OFF? If someone could just give me a pointer here it would be appreciated. From what I read S-ON doesn't matter if you are just flashing a ROM. Thanks!

You need flash boot.img file use Fastboot because you only unlock bootloader.

[Q] Can't Update CWM in HTC-G2 [Solved]

Hi everyone
I am having this weird issue with my T-Mobile G2... I am still on clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.3 I don't know why and it is preventing me from doing everything! In the beginning I didn't notice I was on this version because in Rom Manager it appears to be in 3.0.? but when I reboot in CWM recovery I still have the green letters and the older version... The thing is that I am using right now CM7 and I am having problems with file formats, mounting system, etc. I have tried to S-Off my phone with a tut here with no luck.
About the root method, I don't even remember which one I used to root my phone because I was new when I did it and I just followed tuts around the web. Only thing I remember is that I used the first perma root method available by the time and it wasn't S-Off or carrier unlock.
The point is, I need to update to clockworkmod 3.0 or 5.0 in order to solve all the issues with my phone! I can't even do a nand at the moment because of this. What do you recommend?
Appreciate any help.
Solution in a post below.
If your having trouble getting ROM Manager to flash your recovery, this is how to do it manually through ADB.
1. Download this file here.
2. Rename the file to recovery.img
3. open a command prompt/terminal window and navigate to the location that you saved the file to. c:\path\to\recovery.img
4. type adb reboot bootloader
5. once booted into fast boot, back in the cmd prompt/terminal type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
when its done reboot and then back in cmd prompt/terminal type fastboot reboot.
after reboot type adb reboot recovery and you should boot into clockwork. Make a nandroid and go find a custom rom.
I followed step by step but still showing version 2.5.1.3 and still having green letters.
Ok got it solved. Here is what I did:
The problem was that I had the wrong hboot installed which left my cellphone with S-ON and furthermore blocked me from doing anything. What you have to do if you have the same issue is to follow first this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 to downgrade to stock rom, and then you have to re root the system following this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
That's it! Good luck

HELP! I think I bricked my Rezound

I’m extremely new to the Android community and I did do a lot of reading on how to unlock, install a recovery, and install ICS on my HTC Rezound. The problem I’m having is that I found an ICS ROM to install. I downloaded it, renamed it PH98IMG.zip, installed it onto my SD card through Clockworkmod Recovery, I then tried rebooting into the bootloader to get the zip file installed, but this is what happens in bootloader:
SD Checking…
Loading…[PH98DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading…[ph98diag.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading…[ph98img.zip]
And there’s a vertical progress bar on the right side of the screen that fills up, but then nothing happens after that. It goes back into the bootloader screen. Now my phone won’t startup at all, I get stuck at the HTC white startup screen. I can get into bootloader and Clockworkmod recovery, but nothing else works.
If anybody can please help me with step by step instructions I would really really really appreciate it. Thanks.
I should also mention that I followed a YouTube video on how to install ICS on my Rezound (I can't post a link of the video b/c XDA website won't let me).
The video had me unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery, and install something called Ineffabilis-Deus-v1.0.1-Odex.zip. Everything up to this point worked just like the video (which is point 3:30 on the video). After that, nothing else worked.
I've ended up formatting the SD card from CWM recovery so now there's nothing on the SD card. Not even the PH98IMG.zip file. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
If you still have ADB set up after you unlocked, here's whatchya do.
1. Unzip the P98 file.
2. Move the boot.img into your ADB directory.
3. Plug your phone into your computer.
4. Run CMD as administrator and type in the following commands
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Should work just fine after that. :good:
And I really hope you are at least using the modded CWM recovery from this post and elsewhere, you'll have issues if your phone fully drains otherwise:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27517554
Worry about reflashing recovery on its own after you get the ROM up and running, just be sure you keep the phone charged. And consider AmonRa or TWRP recovery.

My Rezound has the exact same screen when going to the bootloader. I tried so very hard to avoid this but it must be done, I have to ask for help. I have no idea how to fix this phone. When trying to boot it gets all the way to the 4GLTE screen and stops, forever.
This phone is rooted with an unlocked bootloader, S-On, using Hasoon2000's AIO. It was working fine up until I did something stupid and loaded Motioncoding's Beats audio installer. (In case you're wondering I did this in an attempt to have the Beat's audio function while using Pandora, unfortunately this stopped the stock music player from functioning with headphones, I'm and idiot, I know...)
The problem occurred once I tried to uninstall the beat's audio installer using Root Browser Lite and deleting the system files they specified in the instructions. Apparently I deleted one to many and upon restart this is where I ended up. I have tried numerous fixes but the problem I keep running into is I cannot get access to Android via a USB connection on my PC. I still have access to the bootloader and to Clockworkmod Recovery but that is it. If someone can explain to me how to fix this it would really make me feel better and I promise I will never try to do something this stupid again. Thanks.

Did you create a nandroid backup as recommended before trying any new mods? If not, reflash your rom in recovery/boot.img in fastboot, with only a system wipe. If so, restore your nandroid, if you don't boot then reflash a proper boot.img in fastboot.
Yeap snuzzo is spot on. I just wanted to add that it's not a big problem at all, not even something to stress about. We will help you get it fixed up. If you have the vertical loading var, there's a PH98IMG.zip file on the external sd card that you need to delete.
Since it was mentioned in the quote, make sure you aren't running the official clockwork mod recovery. Either run amon ra or fly halfs custom clockwork mod

how do i throw cm10 on here?! lol messed up

so hey guys. just got an evo, and did the regaw root method where it unlocks the loader using HTcunlocker. and it also installed the twrp. i downloaded the cm10 zip and threw it on a sd card.
I put the sd card in, and went and booted into recovery mode... all good. locate zip on the external sd card, and when i try and install it, it fails first step... any suggestions what to do.
I read around and noticed you need s off to do anything that has its own kernel.
seems my hmode is like 1.5 or something so i cant do the s-off. I need to downgrade it. No problem.
bad thing is in the recovery i went to do a wipe facory reset, and now when i try and boot to system it says NO OS found! haha i power it down and back on, and it says no os found!
I cant use an RUU or downgrade tool because i cant boot up and into debugging,
i know you clever people can help me out a bit, right?! i miss my epic 4g slider
EDIT STILL NEED HELP please and thank you in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869377
Pay attention to the S-On part of that article. You have to flash the kernel separately with S-On. Also there is now a method of downgrading in order to achieve S-Off. It can be found in the original development subsection.
it seems like i downloaded a RUU with 1.3, but the problem is, it says it cant connect to the phone. i didnt install any drivers or anything. so point blank, since this was a newer phone, I need to download a livecd of linux in order to get this thing to boot to anything other then the white htc screen or twrp?
You need to get into twrp by holding power and volume down . Once there wipe everything except storage. Then mount USB and copy/paste a Rom from your pc to your phone. Pull the boot IMG first and place where your adb/fastboot files are.
Flash the Rom, when its done boot into bootloader from recovery and then fasyboot flash the boot IMG
There are detailed instructions on how to do these steps all over XDA
Hope you get it up and running
I don't know if you need those drivers you talked about. If you wanted to be sure about having the correct drivers you could install HTC sync on your pc.

Ok let me read into that push/pull adb fastboot thing.

ok so go into twrp. then from my rom zip file, youre saying to pull out the boot.img and place in the fastboot folder (not sure)
then flash the whole zip file of the rom (with or without the boot.img that i copied) and then you say boot into bootloader and than fastboot flash the boot.img? im kinda lost right there
So As i just woke up and ready to try again with this bastard phone, can you link me to something stating how to actually flash a rom using s-on htcunlock? or just how and where you put the boot img and where the fastboot folder is etc.
Best thing to do probably is read om4's guide in the Q&A section. Its stickyed or maybe download flash image gui. The app explains the process. Its any easy solution for s-on folks.
Sorry i cant explain in detail how to fastboot flash the boot img but all the info easily found on xda.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
So when i try to send the image using fastboot, i do fastboot devices, and then i try and send. it says sending, but will stay there infinitely. I cant find a thread that talks about it locking up during the file transfer
Maybe I'm missing something here but couldn't he put a rom like meanROM ,that has the s-on kernel installer built in, onto his sd card (assuming he has one) and install it from TWRP just so he has a working phone? Then he could properly research how to get CM10 installed and running.

sdcard mount problem, recovery problem

fairly new to rooting, so sorry if the fix is simple (hoping it is). i have a evo 4g lte, rooted it, been having issues flashing cm10, so i would reflash a previously saved working rom, no problems. i have been using twrp for recovery. so i switched to cwmr (HUGE MISTAKE)to try and see if that would somehow fix why everytime i was flashing cm10 my phone would never load past the loading screen ( android in middle of revolving circle). basically my problem is, in recovery i cant mount ext-sd or the internal sd, i can "see" my saved backups, but cant flash them, when i try it says" no files found" i played with things for a while, somehow got some old downloaded cm10 version to work, so i atleast have a working phone, but cant mount my sdcard under storage which i need done to flash twrp back into my phone. ive been reading on how to use termianl emulator to mount sd card, but cant figuer that out, any help would be muchly appreciated, sorry for long description of my issue, i just want to be able to flash twrp, reboot into recovery and restore back to a previously working rom!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
also... cm update is constantly running, cant stop it, my pc doesnt recognize my phone, cant mount in recovery or in settings. tried copy and pasting the saved zip files using a root browser app to relocate them and trying to reboot into recovery and flashing them, that does work... please help!!!!
If you can get into terminal emulator, then just flash twrp using that. The directions are on their website.

too late, i kept playing around with everything in recovery mode, and apprently made things worse, now the phone will recognize my ext sd and not the internal sd, which is what u need to use terminal emulator to reflash twrp, any other suggestions???
You can update recovery image through fastboot or place the twrp update zip (rename PJ75IMG.zip) on external and boot to bootloader. As for internal being corrupt, boot into twrp and mount as USB storage and format through pc

ADB Tools Mini SDK
Extract this and then open the folder and hold shift+select and right click. In the menu select open command window here. Put your phone in fastboot and connect to pc. Type fastboot devices to make sure its connected. Then type fastboot flash recovery "filename.img" filename being what ever the name of the recovery file is. It should write recovery and then you can boot into twrp

[Q] Please some Help

Hi, to all.
I know that this has been ask many times,but....
I did search and try almost a every solution i could find on XDA fórum.
I did i complete wipe and voilá, no OS on my Droid DNA, i was rooted but on S-ON, and i had the Venon 3.0.1
I was installing the new Viper 3.1.0 but did the full system wip,and now only can acess my Bootloader and Recovery (TWRP).
Also when rebboting or turning off from recovery it says that there's no root app instaled,and try's to install but it can find it.
I can connect to fastboot, but no adb (when i do adb devices it shows a blank on the device) but on Fastboot it shows the device number.
I try to upgrade drivers and android adb /fastboot, but no luck, in sideload or push the Rom to the phone.
Also i can navigate on the recovery, and try to mount system etc,but also with no luck.
I tryed on Linux and Windows 8, but still no luck.
I'm trying right now another thing that i found on this question and answer thread (that is install pdaneta4126) but still nothing.
Can anyone provide me some insight or light on this matter?
I know that if i have acess to recovery not all is lost, so after a lot of fight and banging with my head, i would like some assistance if it would be possible)
I'm rooted since the 1.15 and didn´t upgrade Hboot or Radios, if this helps and i was in TWRP 2.63, but now flashed 2.7.
Or can i RUU back to stock, and re-root, or what i can do to solve this?
Thank you for all the help you can give me.

I can go to the recovery, and connect the sideload, but the Linux and the Windows 8 but when i try to adb sideload viperDNA.zip to the internal storage, it just says "error device not found"
But if i do in fastboot (fastboot devices) the pc detects and returns the number.
In adb (adb devices) the system returns a blank space where it should be the device number.
Also i unable to push a file to sdcard.
Try this thread::: Even if you have accidentally formatted your internal storage and you have no files on your phone, this section is down the bottom of the thread. Only follow this if you have no access to your phone and have nothing installed on your sdcard. For everybody else simply follow from step 1.
above is an excerpt from the text.

Download PdaNet and it will reinstall your adb drivers and you should be able to find your device.
Adb push can push a rom to the phone and then just flash it and your good.
