Hello, recently I haven't been satisfied with Cyanogenmod 10.1. It's not that the ROM is a bad ROM it's just that I want a stable experience with my Amaze. So yesterday I tried using the Wind RUU which is only available in a .exe format from what I've seen. Trust me I've been looking heavily for a .zip format but just can't seem to find it. When ever I try to use the .exe it tells me my hboot version is to high so, it makes me think it's only meant for users going from Gingerbread to IceCream Sandwhich. I used to have a back-up of the Stock ROM from Wind but, during a recent issue with my partitioning table on my phone and a failed hard-drive which kept a backup of the backup. I lost the backup (I've had some pretty bad luck haven't I). I'm currently on Speedrom 8 as it seems to be the most stable ROM I can be on at the moment but, I do wish to revert myself to stock without going S-Off, as if I mess up with S-Off I'm without a phone for the next year or so.
If a thread already exists that can help me kindly point me in that direction (via a link would be helpful) or, if someone has a back-up if their Wind Mobile HTC Amaze (stock) that they are willing to send me in a dropbox that would be great. Thank you for your time and I'm sure someone will be able to help me.
Just a thought

But there are plenty of other good roms out there. i had a similar issue with a corrupted nandroid, which i didn't save to my pc (shame on me) but at the end of the day, the phone's not in warranty anyway and we've got devs like chevy still working on roms so why go back to stock? I guess if you freeze bloat and tweak your cpu settings, it would be ok, but I sure do like the customization and freedom of another rom. have you tried anything other than cyanogen? Funny, I've been messing with phones for years and never really liked cyanogen even though it seems to be the standard for custom roms. try viper and kaioken.

Just got my HTC Hero a few days back. It was a Malaysian set without the Android market. I got fed up with the crappy apps installer it came with so I followed one of the tutorials in the forum and had it rooted (i think) and upgraded to the international version.
Old version
Build: 2.73.728.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys
New Version
Build: 2.73.405.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys
I got the android market and I'm loving it. I loved it so much that I ran out of memory and sorta crashed the phone. I did a factory reset and re-flash the firmware. Then I found out about apps2sd. I've been digging into the forum on guides to set it up but none of them actually worked.
Can some gurus on this here forum please write a short guide on how to manually install apps2sd?
My current setup:
Phone just rebooted clean after a wipe. The ROM is the international stock ROM. The recovery image I've installed is the AMON-RA version. My SD card has been formatted using the AMON RA Recovery console, so by right it should have all the necessary partitions. The radio is still stock as I have never updated it to anything else (didn't have enough information to realize the full implications of updating the radio, so I put that on hold for the time being)
What do I do next? I have installed terminal emulator though as I gather from the forums that it's a must.
I'm begging all gurus out there to please shine some light on this dark crater I'm in.
why not just stop using crappy stock roms and flash the latest modaco? its a lot faster, has more featues and app2sd is build in. do a nandroid backup for safety, and use a backup tool of your choice (i bought my backup pro, its not cheap, but i dont like the free ones, they have never worked well for me) for your contacts etc.
Its realy easy, a lot easyer than trying to get apps2sd runnig right on a stock rom (I dont know if that is even possible)
Ouch~ Really that crappy huh......
As per your suggestion, I flashed my ROM to 3.1-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed.... either I messed up or it's actually a feature with the rom.... but my social networking apps just won't work after that. It's just a bit too advance for me at this juncture.
So I'm back to the updated official ROM again....
Any takers on the guide to manually installing apps2sd???
Is all hope lost?? I was hoping that someone would have had the experience of installing apps2sd from scratch.
Custom roms are good and all but blind reliance on them don't sit too well with me. The custom roms are in every aspect PERFECT but what I am trying to achieve is a better understanding of how the thing works. What better way than to put a hold on the shortcuts and doing it the manual way.....
Im looking for the same thing man... just want to add the app2sd to the stock htc hero cmda rom after rooting...
Anyone???
Unlikely, the only people capable of producing these guide are the type of people who DO install custom roms. If you're that fussed you'll work it out yourself and produce the guide yourself.
Its 100 times easier to just get a custom rom installed.
So it's been a while since I did any rooting/recovery stuff on phones and now that I'm on my 3rd phone but the previous 2 were HTCs which are different from the Optimus V, on virgin mobile.
I did some poking around and looking but haven't found anything, that I know of, that would allow me to do what I VERY MUCH like and prefer to do as opposed to basically starting over on the new phone.
Basically, I'm coming from the HTC HD2 on t mobile with a custom 2.3 rom and have backups of the programs I want to put on the optimus v by using titanium backup, if it makes a difference I also have clockworkmod/TI backup installed on both phones; obviously they wont work on the optimus till its rooted. I know I need to have root ability but don't/won't actually need it permanently b/c other than transferring apps/data over, I want to remove a few of the virgin apps on the phone and be done.
From what I did read, I know I can use SuperOneClick and adb to remove the virgin apps but where does that leave me for the transferring of apps/data?
If you could link files needed along with directions/steps or to a thread that shows how to do this w/ temp root or perm root would be most appreciated.
I need this done asap so i can wipe the hd2 to just a clean android 2.3 and then sell it to a buyer i'm meeting tonight.
Sorry, if this question has been asked but I did look before posting.
Thanks in advance!
See this thread for rooting, & installing custom recovery & custom ROM.

After everything is done, you should make another Nandroid backup in recovery mode, then could try to restore from your Titanium backup, but it's not recommended for even coming from a different ROM, let alone a different device. If you get weird bugs, then restore to the fresh Nandroid backup & and re-install all apps manually.
Thanks for the reply, i was just looking at your post on rooting/recovery/etc. Ok, guess I will have to do that then since I'm in a rush.
And by manually you mean one by one through adb, correct? If not please enlighten me!

I'm fixin to try a Bumblebee + Blue Sphere combo just for laughs and grins. Will let you know how that works out. Might try the picasticks with it as well.
EDIT: Could not get the bluesphere kernel to play with the Bumblebee ROM. I did get the picasticks kernel to play though. It seemed to smooth it out a little more. I went down to 600MHz where I could see how angry birds played. Stock Bumblebee showed a little lag when game returned to the sling shot. With picasticks kernel it smoothed it out a little better. I liked it. This combo will now be my Froyo ROM in recovery backup(I like to have one Froyo ROM and one Gingerbread ROM in my backups). I'll try it with V6 script on option#2
I just rooted my new HTC EVO LTE phone recently because I had to get a new one. Any way, after rooting it, I imminently made a nandroid back up. Then I flashed a few different roms and recoverys. However, what I found out is after I flash a new rom, my wifi says error and won't turn on. I'm not sure what the problem is. And yes, I cleared everything out before flashing a new rom. However, what is even more interesting is I can use my recovery that I made after rooting my phone to go back to the stock rom and it has no trouble with the wifi. I'm not sure why I'm getting this error or how to fix it.
I've thought about flashing some new radios, but I've had issues in the past with this phone trying to make it S-Off, so as a result it is currently S-On. I would like it to be S-off, but after having a lot of experience with it, I've learned it is very time consuming to do and it is a pain to get it to work, it almost always bricks my phone and then I have to go unbrick it in Linux.
I'm planning on running through the rooting method again to see if that does anything, but I'm doubtful. I've also tried updating the prl, profile, firmware and HTC software with no luck. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks.

S-OFF is really the way to go if it's still an option for you it's the only way to get the new firmware without relocking and taking the OTA then unlocking and rooting again read post 2 in the lazypanda thread found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737123 just go down the list and verify everything works before running lazypanda there are plenty of members that subscribe to that thread so there is plenty of help availiable
Also, rerooting won't do anything. You're already rooted? Think the problem is in the rom u installed. Possibly a bad download. Try downloading from a good connection and install it again. If it is close to stock like flex's stock w goodies just clear cache and dalvik in recovery.
And what do u mean u tried a few recoveries? Cwm doesnt work well with the evo LTE. Try twrp 2.2 and leave it alone until its updated again.
What is your hboot? What rom did you try flashing?
Sent from my lair.
Im also getting this issue and i know its not anything to do with rooting and all that since ive been rooted since i picked this up from best buy on preorder release day and ive been flashing and running the same rom and mods forever now also i was using wifi yesterday soooo yea lol
Recognized Hooker Killer
First, I don't believe I can make my phone S-off, because it has software version 2.13.651.1 710Rd on it and even though I do have a nandroid back on 1.13 hboot, for the default rom from a long time ago with my old HTC EVO LTE, I can't flash back a hboot to 1.13 so I believe I'm stuck S-On for now. Let me know if I'm wrong.
I've attempted several different roms including fresh rom 5.1.1, viper4G_1.0.0, and a jelly bean rom (cm-cfX-20120904-OFFICIAL-jewel all with the same problem. As for recoverys, I should have said I've tried restoring back to several different nandroid backups that I created in the past that were working just find with my old HTC EVO LTE.
Right now my phone is unlocked and rooted. I am running H Boot-1.19.000, I am S-On, and Radio-1.12.11.0809.
I know this problem has something to do with flashing new roms, because when I do a nandroid back up to the default rom, I don't have this problem, and the wifi is working great, I only have this problem if I try to flash any custom rom or use a nandroid backup that I made with my old HTC EVO LTE.
Again, this is not my first time around the track with an HTC EVO LTE, this just happens to be a new phone that I recently got from Sprint when they were thinking my dropped calls were caused by my phone when in fact they figured out they had a tower down. Since then, the tower is back up, so that is why I just rooted this new phone they gave me.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need anymore information.
It's been while now, and I haven't gotten a real response back yet, and I was wondering if anyone knows anything that will help me out? Thanks.
Edit: Found out that I simply needed to flash the boot.img manually of what ever custom rom that I want to switch to in order to get around being S-On.
Please Help

Hey im having the same exact issue I however went back to my stock backup from right after I rooted. The issue I had was I flashed a CMX nightly. I had been running them fine and suddenly everything went haywire i was bootlooping but only after about 30 seconds after the rom would load up. I'd have just under a minute to fish around and the it would reboot again. it was in this short window that I saw the wifi error and that it would not connect to the sprint network at all for voice or data. Im S-On Hboot 1.15 Evo LTE. I used Flash GUI to go from Stock sense to CMX as im sure youve figured out you have to do. Since i had backups of previous CMX nightlies I tried to just restore But none of my nandroids would fix the looping issue I managed to flash the boot img from the CMX rom i was previously on through adb/fastboot and it took but still my device kept looping. Finally i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917106 but I didn't have any Sense Based Roms only my Stock Nandroid back up. So i used the Boot Image Flasher Tool, it took, then Instead of rebooting the system I went straight to my custom recovery and restored my Stock Sense BackUp since the tool flashes the stock sense kernel. To my relief the phone booted right up no problem connected to the network and all but to my dissmay the wifi is STILL broken somehow it says error and will not switch on. Everything else seems to be working fine though. This is crucial there is no way I can go without wifi on my phone. I don't want to ruin anything further or permanitely but i do plan to move forward. My plan is to download a sense rom (MeanRom) which im doing now but it's taking forever on 3G. Wipe everything (using TWRP 2.2) Data Dav rom and use super wipe, and try to install MeanRom. If anyone has any other suggestions Im all ears. Also im alittle confused on the Hboot kernel limitations I know I have to use Flash GUI if Im going from a sense Rom to Aosp and vise versa but do I have to use it when say Going to a nandroid backup of a sense rom while currently on a Aosp rom because I couldnt find a boot.img file in my backup file when i used the tool to extract it. I hate S-On HTC really screwed us with this. And I hate my original evo which had S-Off for dying on me on the 15th day and me having to get this replacement with 1.15 im sorry guys I love this phone but it has become a nightmare and the Evo 3D was no walk in the park either. I apprectiate any comment from anyone this is the first time in almost 8 years of hacking I've been truely worried I may not be able to fix something.
Try this....had the same problem during one of my flashing sessions from rom to rom...this fixed it for me.
You also might want to try a different rom with its corresponding boot img. I'm currently running Venom rom with its boot img file and its working great. Right now, it sounds like your kernel is what is giving you problems like mine, so flashing the correct boot img should fix it.

Thank you I'll be sure to try this out quick update, in TWRP recovery I had (force MD5 check on all zips?) checked now I don't remember checking it or if it came checked by default but as soon as I unchecked it I was able to run superwipe and flash MeanRom which both failed multiple times when it was checked on. Not sure if this was the cause of my problem but I agree I think I got a bad kernel in the CMX nightly. Either that or the Flash GUI app didnt exract the boot image properly. Either way I haven't been brave enough to try another AOSP rom man I hate having S-On my first Evo was perfect then I get stuck with this locked down replacement. One question though is that boot image for a stock/sense rom just wanna be sure.
vel7wil's advice worked for me I was having the same issue. Download the zip he recommends. Use flash image gui to flash the kernel and clear dalvik and cache. I just did a standard reboot after that and it said "android updating... apps x of xx" then everything was back to working.
Hi,
First of all, I have next to no knowledge of anything related to operating systems and my phone and so on, but I can follow instructions well if explained in simple terms. Thank you in advance.
I bought a HTC Sensation Z710a from Ebay and I didn't realize that it didn't have the "normal" Android on it. I've had it for a while now, over a year and I only recently revisited the subject of my OS when I realized I hadn't been asked to update anything like my previous phone (Nexus from Vodafone). I looked into it a little and it appears I have Android 4.0.3 but "Android Revolution HD 6.6.0 XE" by mike1986?
I would like to know what the best thing to do here is, as I would like to update to the newest available Android out for my phone, and I think I would prefer the "normal" Android to the mike1986 development version (but whatever works I suppose).
I have absolutely no idea how to go about this, so any help would be appreciated. Also, my battery seems to be dying a lot faster these days. Will getting a new one fix the problem entirely, and will updating the OS aid in this at all?
Thank you!
Any help!
Please, I really need assistance with this. Thank you!
I would suggest you to take a look in the section for your device for a custom rom which you think look's fine for you and also I'm quite sure that you have a CWM recovery and unlocked bootloader on your phone so that's not needed to be added.
Well, after that simply download the rom and put it on your sdcard and flash it with CWM, sometimes you might need to update the radio to get everything working. After you have flashed the zip you need to wipe data / factory reset, otherwise you might get a bootloop.
I also suggest you to make a nandroid backup before continuing to flash your device
Okay, thanks. Is it at all possible to get the regular version of Android on it though?
Hi everybody. Like always, when I get into troubles with my phone I search for XDA's help but thing is, this time I didn't found what I needed.
I have HTC Desire Zara UL S-On with unlocked Bootloader and for me it's great phone, kinda like it, but after this mistake I made I'm not that much into it.
OK let me start. I had stock KitKat 4.4.2 with HTC Sense 5.5 on it and I decided to install custom firmware on it, CyganMod 12 which has minor bugs, camera, it doesn't see mine Router even tho everything else in my house connects to it without no problems.
I tried to find stock ROM to flash it but I didn't had success. Tried to find Custom KK rom for it, no luck. I cannot restore because I didn't backup'd previously OS and I'm sure I kinda wiped it from the phone. Is there anyone to help me, to give me step-by-step instructions or something? I would really love to get it back on KitKat like it used to be. Thanks in advance. Alvin.
Fixed it. Found stock recovery, boot and rom so everything is cool now. Thanks for "help"
