unlocked phone but when asked to install clockworkmod i said yes then it said could not download and said it would retry, but failed and shutdown. now i cannot go into to stock recovery or rerun the unlock program to try to have it install clockworkmod. im so lost. please help. detailed instructions would help since all the other ways to put a recovery program on have failed.
What does your phone say when you're in the bootloader menu? Are you s-on or s-off?
If you're s-off with revolutionary at the top, then you need to flash the recovery image. It may be available as a zip, and you can run fastboot with it. I personally use twrp over cwm. You'll find the guide here

Sounds like you planned doing this with some thought...
Installing AmonRa is very straight foreword.. There are a number of threads that cover it in detail.
The newest version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23781936&postcount=428
http://www.mediafire.com/?nie2w1ei0phhhup
Here is the link to the newest Amon Ra. Put it in the folder with fastboot exe, the folder you used to unlock your phone. Plug your phone into your PC. Boot your phone into hboot and select fastboot. It will say fastboot usb. Run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" recovery.img being the file name of the recovery download. You can name the file whatever you want if it makes it easier to run in the command ling
Yeah I know...It was a really stupid move on my part. Thank you guys...There were 2 AmanRa files and I needed to use the updated one or something. I tried the original and it didn't work so that's why I panicked. I fixed it like 20 min after this thread but ty guys so much!
Hi everyone, so this is my first post here so please deal with me. I did check for similar problems with no results and think I'm posting in the right area. So try not to get too frustrated with me if I'm wrong. Anyway, with all of that out of the way on to my problem.
I have a rooted rezound, which was first rooted to get rid of bloatware and such, but I decided I wanted to try out some different roms. My problem is every time I flash a rom, which appears successful, but whenever it boots up it'll freeze up on the HTC screen. To fix this I've been just been pulling the battery and restoring to the backup I made before trying to flash roms. I would really like to try some different roms but I've gotten stuck on that screen with each one I've tried. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it!
Some additional info: I use to have a rooted thunderbolt and have some experience with flashing roms and all that stuff, but I'd still consider myself a noob. I have Amon Ra Recovery on my rezound and the screen in hboot reads:
***Unlocked***

Oct 6 2011, 15:43:22
(I'm not sure why it says the incorrect date and time?)
I've tried several different things to successfully flash roms. I've tried flashing them with and without PH98IMG.zip on the root of my sd. I've tired it with and without the back on my phone. When flashing roms I ALWAYS wiped all data before flashing. That's just about everything relevant I can think of, sorry for the length! I figured the more information the easier for you guys to help!
If you're S-ON, you need to flash the P98IMG zip with the ROM. This contains the boot.img file.
Just extract the ROM of choice, take the P98IMG zip, throw it on your SD card and boot into your bootloader. Go into the bootloader menu and it'll install. Reboot, phone will work just fine.
If there isn't a P98IMG file and just a boot.img file, just push it through ADB while in your fastboot.
command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
So the P98IMG.zip file I downloaded and had on the root of my sd card is different than the one I need to extract from the rom or was I just not installing it right?
I did have a P98IMG.zip on the root of my sd card and I went into hboot, then I went to recovery and flashed my rom. Is there another step I need to take in installing the P98IMG.zip or should it automatically install? Do I need to reboot it between installing the P98IMG.zip and the rom?
Thanks for you help and quick response! I'm really trying to learn and get better at this stuff
After you flash your ROM, go into your bootloader (fully, must be in the bootloader menu) and it'll install. Follow the onscreen instructions, reboot, and remove the zip from your SD card.
Hope that helps.
I still cant get it to work :/
Heres step by step what I did:
1) Went into hboot > recovery
2) Wiped all data
3) Flashed ROM
4) Powered off phone using option in the recovery menu
5) Powered back on into hboot. The green text appeared that said loading and stuff about P98IMG and a blue bar on the side, but this process was very brief (maybe 2 seconds tops) and there were no instructions to follow
6) Went into recovery and rebooted my phone where I was stuck on the the HTC screen again
Can you point out where I'm going wrong or any possible issue?
Thanks again for you patience! I really appreciate your help!

How are you getting to recovery? It should give you an option to install update or reboot in hboot. If the ph98img is in the right spot you shouldn't be able to boot into recovery
With my phone powered off I'm holding down the power button and down volume button to get to hboot. I have my ROM and the PH98IMG.zip file both on the root of my SD card. It does very quickly appear to load the PH98IMG file but returns to the hboot screen the has the options: fastboot, recovery, factory reset, clear storage, sim lock, image crc.
Could it be that the PH98IMG file should be somewhere else? And was I doing everything in the correct order or do I install the PH98IMG first?
File may be bad. Do you have adb set up?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Well actually I'm running off a mac and I've been using my sisters laptop for adb and that stuff but she just broke it...just my luck haha. Would I be able to download a different copy of PH98IMG from online and try that?
What ph file are you trying to flash? It should load it and ask if you want to update. Try downloading it again. May be a bad download
I'm trying to flash the Senseless-4.0.3-ICS-v1.0.0[2/4/2012] ROM (http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?11238-Senseless-4-0-3-ICS-v1-0-0-2-4-2012&p=178493#post178493) and I just saw a download for the PH98IMG file somewhere else on the website. Should the ROM include its own PH98IMG file? Thanks for both of your help! I have no experience with the PH files because my thunderbolt was s-off so i never dealt with this stuff before.

So s-off. Seriously though. You flashed a random ph file and thought it would work? It has to be the right one for the rom. Besides that rom isn't maintained anymore
The only method to get the rezound to s-off was using some wire trick and seemed like a difficult process. Would you recommend I do that?
And the post with the ROM said and ICS PH file would be fine, so I assumed it'd work. I guess I'll try a different ROM that includes a specific PH file and up to date. In which case I should be able to get everything to work with all the help from you and Chyrux. Thanks for everything!

I would recommend getting s-off. It's going to be the only method for this phone. I mean why waste another exploit to be patched? I would recommend con rom since it uses aroma to detect whether your s-on or s-off
Did you s-off your rezound? How were your experiences with it? I'm just worried about bricking my phone. But thanks for the ROM recommendation! I've been trying to find a good ROM
S-off was fairly easy, but you do need Windows or a Linux build.
My friend made the mistake of following a youtube video and really messed up his phone. He has TWRP installed but he's S-On and deleted his restore image. The only thing that functions on this phone is HBOOT. The bootloader was relocked, and now I can't even access recovery. I need some help here. He was trying to get a custom rom installed, but he never went S-Off. Running the RUU provided in DirtyRacun wouldn't work even though it was for the correct HBOOT version. I have no idea where to start on fixing this thing. It is running HBOOT-2.09. I am very comfortable using adb and fastboot - I use it frequently with my HTC One. This almost seems beyond repair - but I'm pretty sure it is fixable. Please help. I have access to both a Linux and a Windows machine, so a solution involving either isn't out of the question. Since recovery isn't accessable, it has to be a fix involving fastboot and adb almost exclusively.
Have you tried to unlock the bootloader again? Once you unlock you can push a recovery to the phone and then flash a ROM. Remember, since he's S-on you'll have to install the kernel separately from the ROM (or use a ROM that has a S-on kernel installer). Hit the top link in my sig for more info.

I unlocked the bootloader again and got back in to TWRP. Because I am S-On I pushed MeanBean v284 onto the phone but the installation fails every time. I've tried wiping everything, formatting the partitions again, and I can't get past this point.
EDIT: My error says:

2.7.0.0. He said it was linked from the xda forums. Also, I am going to try the rumrunner s off that was recommended on your guide right now. I can't enable USB debugging because there is no OS on the device right now.
You'll need to install a ROM before you can S-off.
Also, once you get recovery working again you may find the guide in the link below useful.

According to the MeanBean guide, it will work S-On. I'm not sure if you have to flash the kernel seperately, and on top of that I'm not sure how to do that. I haven't been able to find specific instructions other than using fastboot with a boot.img file. I haven't tried this yet with MeanBean, but it didn't work with the Viper Rom.
EDIT: I made it to the step where you flash the ROM (further than I've gotten so far today...). It says the kernel was not installed when installing MeanBean.
Just follow the directions in the ROM thread and you'll be fine. You essentially have to flash the zip file twice. If you want further info, click the top link in my sig.

After installing the second time, I am still getting the same: "ERROR: Kernel Not Installed!
Copying flashable ZIPs. to /sdcard/Meanbean
Please reboot now!
Updating partition details..."
I am gradually looking through all 949 pages to try to find a solution
EDIT 2: I tried flashing the boot.img file using fastboot as it said in your post to install the kernel. I am still getting that installation error.
Please help. I have unlocked this phone through HTC Dev. I have flashed a custom recovery. Somewhere through this process, the original installation of the factory rom from VM was deleted. That doesn't bother me because I was never going back to it anyway, but If I had it right now, I wouldn't be here. I have tried to use the RUU exe in fastboot and the RUU zip in recovery from here. Neither will install, exe throws errors and the zip returns [bad]. I have also tried the [ROM] NegaLite-BluRom-JCFunk | 2.95 | Sprint/VM | Sense/Apex/Nova | 03/25/2014. This eventually installed, but will not boot even with installing boot.img separately. I followed all directions to the best of my ability, but by no means am I saying I did correctly, but I am pretty sure I did. So to recap - I have whats in the title, but no rom whatsoever installed that can be accessed. Any takers?
Some more info please, hboot version? Which recovery. s-on makes things harder.
To flash stock need to be relocked, stock will not flash from recovery.
If you put rom.zip, stock zip, in root of sdcard and rename to PG86IMG.zip. hboot will flash automaticly.
Or if you have a copy of the custom recovery img file on your computer, you can do a fastboot command that will let you boot from it and give it full write access.
fastboot boot recovery.img, then you can retry to flash negalite
img must be in directory you use fastboot in.
Philz recovery not working well for 3d, I use 4ext or my unofficial twrp.
Before I proceed in explaining anything, please let me Thank You JCFunk for lending me a hand in my endeavors. This is my first crack at a HTC device. So I'm a newb at locks, hboots, and HTC specifics. So, Thank You!
I scanned through a lot of information and I moved to quickly, thinking I would ace this project and not particularly following a guide step by step. I know I should just wire trick this phone. I am wanting to get to hboot 1.40 and use Revolutionary to S-OFF. Once that is achieved load a kitkat rom. This is just a project, not used for daily phone use - no service.

I tried this step first and it returned:
Main Version is older.
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
Would I be correct to say if I flashed the SetMainVersionLOW.zip that this method would likely work?
Also, if I am overcomplicating this(other than wire-trick) and there is an easier method, please advise.

How good are you with linux, or do just use windows? Never did wire trick myself, I've always done Unknownforce hboot downgrade. Which I can now do in about 15 min.
s-off not required, there's many way to bypass unlocked limitations.
Your main var is to high because htc never released a current ruu, so the ota pushed version higher but no ruu to match.
what can I help you do?

I am great with linux, but was under the assumption it needed to be burned to cd and that USB was not an option, please advise if not the case. I have read a ton and I remember reading about Unknownforce, but cant remember if thats the case or not.
Off topic: I learned from you that it has to be locked to go stock, but does it need to be unlocked to flash your rom or locked as well?
Unlocked for custom, locked for stock.
Here is unknownforce ultimate tool,
there was a live cd version made for windows users scared of linux.
I use tiny core linux for this, Ubuntu tries to mount all the partitions and you only have a 5 second window when they are writeable. I have used Ubuntu, at first, but preferred tinycore.
But first you are going to need to get stock.zip to install.

What I meant was, in your opinion, is the 4ext a better recovery than the unofficial TWRP?
During the install of Negalite at the point of -Setting Up Kernel Over-Clock Settings
under this it reads: assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img","boot")
Is this a red flag of something not going right in any way?
After this I click Next>Recovery>Wipe Dalvik>Reboot and it boots into Fastboot. Whats happening at this point?
Since I am basically starting from scratch and the end goal is to have a kitkat rom and possibly S-OFF(if its a must to do so).
What all needs to be done as far as formatting, tweaks, or anything else to achieve the best performance, space, or anything you can think of?
Thats if you dont mind sharing. I appreciate your time and if I can be of service to you in any way, I will.
I am currently on the 4ext recovery with 1GB sd-ext 0 swap and formatted Ext4.
fastboot boot recovery.img
flashrom.zip from recovery
reboot, wipe dalvik, reboot
Negalite.zip installed with no errors whatsoever.
Thank You.
Beautiful smooth running rom btw.
Does all that above sound like I did the right things as for setting up and installing?
4ext is most stable, the unofficial has new features like f2fs and selinux, but 95% stable.
fastboot boot recovery.img is an old work around, also used to flash boot.img with fastboot. That is ok with roms that include a whole boot.img but roms like mine use a dynamic boot.img. Basically the installer makes the boot.img using your choices.
From what I know about Kitty kat I think you need to downgrade hboot or be s-off. Not sure I've stayed on ics for stability because I still use this phone. Also there is a new version of negalite on svn, just takes hours for me to upload a zip version.

I tried installing your new negalite the same way as I do the old version and at the end of the install procedure I get an error about set permissions. After that - reboot, wipe dalvik, reboot - it just reboots into recovery. I tried many times with SmartFlash enabled and disabled. I go back and install r121 with no problems.
