Hi everyone,
I'd like to erase EVERYTHING in my SD card, No personal data whatsoever, & still keeping Elegancia ROM.
How do I do that please?
I thought about formatting SDcard, but am afriad that would format the ROM content & can't use the phone anymore.
Please advice,
Thanks

AFAIK formating /data results in loss of personal data and you most likely will have to re flash rom

but does the rom still work when formatting /data partition? there seems to be a lot of important stuff in there or is it just userdata and it is like a factory reset when formatting i'm curious if that works.

Yup, it works - I have formatted my data partition along with doing a factory reset. It worked fine. (Elegancia - I am not sure if some x/y/z ROM has any issues though .
Go to your settings and factory restore or use a file explorer and delete everything

If you're selling the phone or something similar, download the RUU, plug your phone in, and run the executable to get the phone in the state it comes in out of the box. This will flash the stock ROM, recovery, etc.

First you need to lock the bootloader...
Then you can attempt to flash the RUU - you will succeed only if your hboot is 1.35 or lower...
Ah yea I had to do the same thing you want to flash to an odexed stock Rom before attempting the ruu otherwise you will be on an h boot boot loop the only way to get out of that is to re unlock the boot loader use hysoon 200's tool kit if your already on h boot 1.40.00 you cannot run the lower h boot you will have to go to the HTC site and download the at&t ota ruu I went through the same thing to do a warranty swap ecause my digitizer went out and no I didn't play with it even with a locked boot loader stock Rom/kernel and the ruu ran it still bas dead spots in the same places

I've tried to install the LiquidSmooth ICS v1.5 rom and have ended up with no service and data several times. I use rom manager and delete cash. I've also tried Clockworkmod with the same results.
One thing that I was wondering is why I cant access the bootloader menu when I reset. I see the options, but then it blows by and questions me if I want to update or not(this is how I get back to a usable phone after failed rom install attempts). I dont remember how I rooted this phone back when it first came out. I'm just wondering if that has anything to do with my problems.

When you go through that update it brings you back to that firmware? If so it means there is an ruu on the root of your sd.
Also when flashing a new Rom you need to format everything, not just cache. That's why you're having issues.
I also recommend using 4EXT recovery

Your were right about the SD card. I copied the LiquidSmooth ICS v1.5 MR2 rom to a spare card and I was able to access the boot loader menu. I went into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.2, wipe data, wipe cash and installed the rom... Unfortunately I still have no service or data.

When installing a new ROM, you should always go through your recovery. I use 4EXT, and it works great. To get to your recovery, ensure that your sdcard is free of any PG05IMG files in the root directory. You should always create a nandroid backup, wipe/format to factory defaults, install your ROM, then wipe cache and dalvik cache. You can then install any flashable zips on top of that.

I use Verizon's visual voicemail app
As far as the wifi goes, you should be able to turn that off/on in the interface settings from within the ROM

Do you use any kind of volume booster? I cant hardly hear people. I've tried a few, but they only boost your headphone and back speaker volumes.

First of all, thank you in advance for any help you can give.
So I made an attempt today of flashing a CyanogenMod Nightlie build using ClockworkMod and now I cannot get passed the spinning Cyanogen logo (I have waited 45 minutes over several different reboot attempts).
The bootloader has been unlocked
I have wiped the data
I have wiped the cache
I have wiped Dalvik Cache
then
I have loaded the nightlie
and then the gapps
then I rebooted and I get nothing but the startup screen.
Can anyone help? Did I miss something? I have been all over the forum looking for insight and havent had any luck.
Again, thank you and I thank everyone for their hard work on these builds.

Can you get into recovery? If you can revert back to your nandroid and enable smart flash if you are using 4ext
Edit: oops I see you are using cwm
I guess you can try to restore and try s-off

okay, some things have been done wrong.. to flash a rom like cm10 if the rom isn't booting and your S-ON not using 4ext you need to flash the kernel separate, and 4ext is the recommended recovery for any and all S-ON htc phones.. id still recommended for S-OFF also..

and to do a clean install your's suppose to

wipe cache partition
wipe delvik cache
flash rom
flash gapps
wipe delvik cache again
boot rom let it sit till the screen goes off
(extra)
boot into recovery
wipe delvik cache once again
fix permissions
boot phone and enjoy

the other day i tried restoring a back up via TWRP but it didnt work until i fastboot flashed boot.img...Alright so i updated my TWRP via goomanager app to the latest version (whatever is on there via goomanager) as in the TWRP forum discussions it was stated that previous versions were not working properly wihen restoring. So today i flashed a new ROM (NOS ROM) but that didnt work so i decided what better time than now to try restoring again, no dice didnt work and i had to fastboot flash the boot img for the restore file to take and boot up just fine again...ok peeps what am doing wrong??? again im fairly new at this flashing ROMS scene but i thought witht he TWRP update i would be good to go. Am i missing some settings ticks/options/checks? i saw a check box that said "recovery" i think in the restore or back up process dont remember which process. i tried going onto the TWRP discussion but it is locked down and states that there will no longer be any support for it...should i just switch to CWM?? thanks in advance to whom ever replies

What did you have checked while making the backup? data? recovery? cache? system? and did you rename the back up?
System, data and boot are checked...I didn't mess with the options just hit restore and let it do it's thing...should I change something or check the other 2 boxes (one of them being "recovery" forgot what the other option was)?

I may have misread but did you wipe everything before loading nos? I saw what was checked for backup but not about wiping. You should wipe everything-system, then cache, then delvik cache-not exactly in that order (make SURE there IS a backup just in case). Load the rom AND flash the correct image file with adb. Also, many roms when FIRST loading up sit a long time before they start up, not sure if nos does this or not-I have been jumpy about the time sitting with a few roms when waiting was all I needed to do. I have had different Viper versions on a few times and moving to another rom was quirky each time I did so, not sure why.
NOS did that to me too. Just wait....it will load into the setup wizard. I think being s-on, which I still am...twrp isn't able to back up and restore your roms boot.img. just a guess but I to failed to restore a backup when an install went awry. Makes sense to be being that you can't install a kernel from recovery either.

I looked at the install instructions for nos, if you are s-on you need to do one extra step. You have to extract the rom into a folder somewhere to get the image file, copy the image file from it. Flash that image file using adb on your pc and THEN install the rom from your phone with goomanager. Without the image file loaded, I don't think it would work. If you are s-off this step is not needed.

I believe it will, if it had the image from the get go. I believe that the back up has everything it needs. At least my back ups have never needed an image file. I decided I should try NOS myself and must say it would not go for me (S-off) it kept rebooting into recovery. I was going to try and also flash the boot image but have not done so yet.

Its the kernel in NOS. Flash NOS and then flash cpalmers kernel. Then reboot and do the setup and if you want to change to the zarboz kernel you need to delete system/bin/thermald or rename it to thermald_old.bak

Hmmm well I did everything via my cell (been the way I've been flashing ROMS unless something goes wrong then I use ADB on computer) and everything when properly done works fine using Flash GUI APP love that app! I've flashed super charged hatka 320 (used that for a couple weeks) then switched over to viper...both using Flash GUI I tried using NOS but yes no dice loaded up but when I pull the unlock ring for whatever reason the splash screen comes up and it won't budge from there....and as for my original question haha TWRP did not work for me when restoring it tripped out like if it was missing the boot image (done that before so I'm familiar with that behavior haha)

Hey guys, I recently attempted to root my old phone using the Amaze All in One Kit v5.2. Well, I was able to get the bootloader unlocked and installed TWRP recovery, but was unable to get any roms to load. I was advised I should relock the bootloader and attempt to do a RUU flash since my phone will no longer boot past the HTC screen. Since I relocked the bootloader, I have lost access to TWRP recovery entirely. I also tried the PH85IMG file on my SD card, but it doesn't seem to do anything different after installing and verifying.
My current bootloader screen displays the following:
***RELOCKED***
***Security Warning***
RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.93.0003

Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Flash 4ext recovery and enable smart flash from settings and then flash any ics rom... (4ext has this smart flash feature so even tho you're S-ON you can still flash a rom and the kernel together in twrp recovery only the rom get Flash not the kernel) reason it didn't work for you in the first place..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ox16mtk02zoi3qf/PH85IMG.zip
If you have a hard time flashing 4ext recovery from all in one kit use it.. (REMOVE EVERY FILE INSIDE IT EXCEPT FOR THE ONE CALLED "recovery.img" and place it in your ext_sd card and go to bootloader and follow instructions) unlock the bootloader 1st if it's locked ...

Gotcha. Well, I just got the bootloader unlocked again, but I am unable to flash 4EXT recovery through the all in one software. The only other option I saw involved installing from the phone, but since I can only get to the bootloader and TWRP recovery screen, I'm unsure of how exactly to install it. You will have to excuse my ignorance on this stuff. I'm pretty computer literate, but this rooting stuff has gotten the best of me thus far...

Well, after installing just that file on my SD card and restarting the phone, it went through a file check and parsing phase then when I clicked on recovery it brought back up TWRP. Obviously I'm misunderstanding something.

It does not appear so. TWRP opened up once again when I clicked on recovery from within the bootloader.
I'm also getting this error "Unable to mount eMMC" as well.

I think I was doing something incorrectly. Anyways, I just enabled Smart Flash and went to "install from sdcard". When I select "choose zip from sdcard", I get the error "Can't mount /internal sdcard".

In the wipe category, my options are as follows:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe cache + dalvik
wipe dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
format system
format data
format boot
format all partitions (except sd card)
format sdcard
Did you mean do a format all except sdcard?

I came across this method and it appears to have fixed my internal sdcard issue. It is installing the rom now. I will let you know once I get done flashing the rom if all goes as planned.

I ended up just flashing the Cyanogenmod rom for now. Everything seemed to go fine with the install. I rebooted and it sat at the Cyanogenmod splash screen for almost a hour without proceeding. Any clue?

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom? If there are data of your previous rom in your system partition all the data get overwrite and crashes ... Full wipe = format all (except sd card)
(the one in wipe/format category..)

I just read carefully your 1st post now.. You're hboot is 1.93.003 it's normally 1.93.002.. It's a nasty issue.. Try to flash a stock htc ics rom (arhd 5) and do the s-off.. It's the only way to recover from that issue as far as I know..

SUCCESS!!! I was able to flash another rom (T-mobile Stock ICS Debloated) and it booted back up like it should. Seriously, thanks again for all of your help buddy.
i am trying to root a friends htc evo 4g lte, and finally got the bootloader unlocked, then started the root process. i got to the point of the custom recovery, where you mount the internal storage, but it some how has been deleted, and it is asking me for a decrypt password, to unlock the internal storage data, and that i only have 30 attempts before it will be lost. according to her, she has never setup any accounts or passwords on her phone, so i am wondering if there is a factory password, or what else I should do, as the root process was in the middle, and not complete? please get me an answer to this, as she uses this phone for her business, and needs it immediately. i have samsung phones, and the root is much easier, so i didn't expect all of this. any help is extremely appreciated.

Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone so any internal data I believe isn't there anymore. Reboot back to fastboot and try reflashing the recovery. Also HBOOT info would probably help. Just keep calm. It'll be okay.

if this was my phone i would be a lot calmer, but this is her only phone, and she uses it for business. the samsung rooting is a million times easier, and without a single problem. i have done dozens of them, and NEVER had any issues. i don't understand why htc makes you do the bootloaded, which is a monster process all to its own, and then puts you through so many trials and tribulations to complete the root. when i root a samsung, all the information is still thereso i assumed it would be the same on any android device. as you can imagine, i am bugging to lose her all her info.
ok, so i reflashed recovery using the cmd prompt, and it flashed ok. then i loaded supersu. no problem. but then when i try to load the stock htc rom, it says it can't find md5, and reloads into a white screen with green htc on it. that's it. it goes no further. anything you can tell me to help get this thing up and running?

the hboot is 2.10.0000
and the rom is: Download 3.16.651.3 Stock Firmware with root for HTC Evo 4G LTE (Flash with TWRP after factory reset)
when i try to flash it, it says, "no md5 file". then just goes to the white screen and stays there.
but i am willing to flash any rom to get it up and running. i have no problems getting into bootloader or recovery.
top of my fastboot screen says:
******* tampered

man, i don't even know what ruu is? we don't have that with samsung phones. when i wiped the partition, i just tried to load the twrp and then the rom.
so i'm guessing you want me to flash: Novitious_Jewel_4.3_Sense5.5_N1.zip - 831.88 MB
do i just flash it like any other rom, or do i have to do something special for this ruu?
It's a normal rom but you saying HBOOT 2.10.0000 tells me that someone updated it. Before you started the process was the phone Android version 4.3?

i think it was. and yes, it was upgraded today. i spent quite a while unlocking the bootloader. that took forever. then i tried to root it. but had a problem right in the middle of that. when i went to mount the int sd card, it said nothing was there. then it told me i needed a decrypt password. so i was told to wipe everything. so i did. then reloaded twrp and supersu. that is where i am now. man, i just want to get this thing up and running again, no matter what rom or anything else. this is not my phone, and she uses it for business. she needs it as soon as possible, and i know so very little about htc.

Well since it was updated you need a rom that is built on the new layout. The link I have you is for a rom that should work fine for you. It is sense 5.5 and personally I love it. Hopefully your friend will too. Just dl and flash. Also you need a modified twrp recovery from Captain_Throwback.

Either of the twrps listed in this thread should work. Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img. personally I would rename the recovery to either twrp or recovery and make sure it is in the same folder as the fastboot files. Or if you are s-off put in a zip fodder after renaming to recovery.img

ok, i got them. i'll go give it a shot. i really appreciate all the help, i'll hit your thanks bar many times.
update: i hit your thanks bar for every post you made in this thread. thanks again. hope it all works.
man, i can't believe i went through all the things i went through, and i am right back in the same boat i was this afternoon. i renamed and flashed the custom recovery. i then flashed the rom, and when it looked like it was doing everything right, and starting to load the rom, it took me right back to the prompt "Decrypt Storage". type password to decrypt storage.
30 attempts remain before device data is deleted.
how can i get past this thing? i wiped everything there was to wipe on this phone.

i got so mad about the decrypt thing popping back up, that i went into wipe and did a full "format data". now the decrypt message is gone, but the phone will not recognize the internal sd card. the only place it shows up is in advanced wipe area, and i can wipe it individually, but in the other areas of the phone, it doesn't show up. for instannce, if i try to usb mount, there is no internal card, so it will not show anything. so how do i get this internal sd card back? i can't flash anything right now because it isn't recognized.
two other questions, should the int sd card be formatted in fat32 or exfat? and is the rom you gave me odexed or deodexed?
UPDATE: so i finally decided to use the root folder to flash the older twrp, and it worked. then i was able to see the internal folder again. so i tried to reload the supersu, and rom you suggested, but when it loaded up, it took me right back to the "decrypt storage" message. so i tried to reload the newer twrp, you suggested, and the int sd card is not recognized again. so i am guessing i have a lot of miss matched software on this phone, and maybe that is the reason i am getting this message. any idea how to determine exactly which ones are out of place? in the mean time, i googled the decrypt storage message, and many people have been through this also, but i haven't seen a fix. so i will go back to your friends site, and try the other twrp for now.
UPDATE2: i just decided to relock the bootloader, and ruu it back to original. i hope this works. i was able to relock the bootloader, and i am in the middle of ruu'ing it now.
UPDATE3: yeah, i've got it back up. so glad to get this thing running again. i wish i had of understood what you meant by ruu before, i would have saved myself a lot of grief.
the fact that, while setting things up for the first time, this phone will not let you skip accounts, and just get into your phone is crap. you should be able to set the accounts up at your whim. and even if you try to set a new account up with htc, the code the phone gives you, will not work on the htc site. even if you keep generating a new code on the phone, the site will not take it. what the hell is that? this entire experience with this phone makes me appreciate having a samsung much, much, much more than ever before. htc needs to get their head out of their ass, and stop making everything so difficult.
Based on a quick read on this thread, the problem appears to have been an incomplete update to the new layout. The HBOOT got updated, but the image doesn't appear to have been flushed again to update the data and system partitions fully, and then the ROM booted to ensure everything was initialized properly. That would be the way to fix it going forward.
Also, you can skip through all of the account setup stuff in the ROM - I'm not sure what you mean about that .
