Did you get the message: Magic Value Mismatch:-.-.-.-.-.-?!
After flashing a new recovery it happens sometimes.
GREEN ZONE
Are you able to go to the recocery menu(power + vol up)? If not, go to BLUE ZONE. If yes, follow these steps
1. check whether you have copied your rom as "update.zip" to your SD card's root directory
2. Go to recovery menu and install update.zip
BLUE ZONE
You may did something wrong while flashing a new recovery. Here is the right method:
1. go back to fastboot mode(power+power+power+vol up) and type these commands on your PC
2. fastboot erase userdata
3. fastboot erase system
4. fastboot erase cache
5. fastboot erase linux
6. fastboot erase recovery
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (change path, if recovery.img is not in the same directory as fastboot.exe)
8. fastboot reboot
Are you able now to go to the recovery menu? If yes, go to GREEN ZONE and follow steps. If not, go to ORANGE ZONE.
ORANGE ZONE
Are able to unpack the update.zip and find the system.img and boot.img files? If not, then go to RED ZONE. If yes, copy these 2 files to the directory where the fastboot.exe is, run these commands:
1. fastboot erase recovery
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. fastboot -w
4. fastboot erase linux
5. fastboot erase system
6. fastboot flash system system.img
7. fastboot flash linux boot.img
8. fastboot reboot
ROM is installed. Enjoy it!
RED ZONE
Make sure, that you copied the same recovery.img to fastboot folder, that you had flashed before to your tablet.
Type this command in recovery mode:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will run the recovery from your PC. After the recovery menu is booted, go to GREEN ZONE and enjoy your ROM!
If this was helpful to you, please do not hesitate to click on Thanks!
Lol, nice to see my post copy/pasted without any links indicated. Anyway, I hope It's helpful for ppl.
Tried following these steps, however, I'm still getting this error... followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470823
installed recovery successfully (via fastboot), and update seems to install fine, until I reboot and get the "Magic Value Mismatch" again..
Any ideas?

So you installed the recovery via fastboot. Did you manage to boot into recovery mode?
I had that issue, that I couldn't boot into recovery mod from my Folio, by pressing power+Up button. Thats why I added the RED ZONE method. Its like booting recovery from your PC. (fastboot boot recovery.img). All the times I wanna upgrade my current ROM, I have to do this step, because the power+up does not work, and the Folio skips booting in recovery and wanna do normal booting. However there is no Rom installed on machine, so I get the magic value mismatch message.
So try to boot recovery from your PC, but be sure you have copied to your fastboot folder the same recovery, that you flashed onto the tablet.
I hope it was helpful. If something is not clear, feel free to ask.
Hi there, thanks for the answer.
I am able to install recovery images via fastboot.
Device is showing up as a question mark with >fastboot devices
but recovery installs fine. CWM gives a series of e: can't opne/mount /cache errors.
Foliomod 1.4 installs no problem, thanks to the method here

Are you able to wipe cache from recovery? And what else errors are listed?
One more thing, try to flash your boot.img and system.img via fastboot as written above.
If I follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458876
and let it install cwm v 3, I get the cache error and cannot wipe or mount via recovery.
If I follow the ICS thread, and flash the new cwm v5 via fastboot, I don't get the cache error, but the rom simply won't start. If I open the package, there is a boot.img, but not a system.img, just a system folder...
I could try flashing boot.img, but I don't see how that could help

Well just to see it clear. So you are able to install Foliomod 1.4, so your Internal storage is not broken.
When I get home, I will check the system folder of ICS rom. There are some method to create system.img from an unpacked folder...
So, in CWM 5.5.0.4 you manage to install Zip from SD card, ROM and GAPPS as well, but the Rom does not boot?!
yup, that's exactly it.
Haven't tried installing Gapps since I can't even get the rom to boot.
I have a perfectly working tablet with foliomod 1.4, and I did get honeycomb to run but some apps crashed so I reverted back to foliomod.
with CWM CWM 5.5.0.4 everything seems to work great, except at reboot, nothing happens (somehow, I no longer even get the magic value mismatch)
------------------
PS. not sure if this is at all relevant, but I cannot fastboot from win7, I'm fastbooting in either ubuntu or xp via VirtualBox, and the device, when calling >fastboot devices shows up as ?????????? (ubuntu) and ? (xp)... :\

Hmmm strange. I ask it for you on developers forum. What you can still do, is to check the steps, that you did them correctly. In most of the cases users forget something, or do some steps incorrectly.
Try to erase userdata, cache, system, linux and recovery in fastboot. You mentioned you had problem with fastboot under Win7. Problem may occur, in case of not proper erasing.
Thanks, I'll give it another try tonight.
Fastboot in win7 is simply not seeing the device. It shows up in XP and Ubuntu, but as "??????" - not sure if that could be a symptom.
I'll post a reply as soon as I've tried, and let you know how it went.

For me it works perfectly on Win7. After Installing SDK and JDK the in the devicemanager it is shown as an Unknown device. Simply add the driver manually to it.
Download driver from attachment.
Copy it to SDK\USB_driver folder
That works for me. After its done, the Folio is shown as "Fastboot" in device manager. But connect the tablet in fastboot mode to your PC before you add driver manually to it.
Thanks for that.
Tried it, still not working in win7. It shows up correctly in device manager, but fastboot itself just doesn't want to see it...
I've attached a screenshot for you
EDIT: screenshot gets resized, but it shows device manager listing
NVIDIA Android Fastboot Device
and a terminal with fastboot not seeing the device

When You have win7, You have run the console as admin!
Or copy the complete Fastboot folder to another Destination like c:\temp...
Thanks stefannsv, tried it, still not showing...
But I can access fastboot on another platform, so I assume it's not an issue, I can just switch over to another OS to flash
no go, followed both this original post (tried all steps except orange, cause the rom I'm trying to install has a system folder, not a system.img)
Last method I tried was:
1) boot into fastboot
2) boot cwm-recovery-5.5.0.4.img directly from PC
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) install zip from SD card and chose the alpha 4 release
installing update...
then back to recovery, reboot and voilà... magic value mismatch again (it had disappeared for a while... )
Also, when booting into CWM 3.0.0.5, I get a series of "E: Can't mount/cache/recovery" type errors.. could this be related?
booting directly into recovery from PC doesn't alllow me to install any ROMS, not even foliomod 1.4 which works if using puppet13th's method
Hello,
I have no background in phone/computer knowledge, but I recently just started taking an interest in rooting and figuring out how to use my phone to its full potential. However, I might have screwed up on a couple things.
I was able to unlock my phone, but I accidentally wiped everything. There is no OS on my phone, and now my computer won't recognize my phone (it does not show up on My Computers). I researched and looked up many things on google, and tried a couple things, but to no prevail. I wish I could reset my phone to it's original setting, but I can't seem to do that. Now I wish I could download any OS.
I know this might be rather silly, but I know that the XDA community is very helpful. I have no idea how to dig my self out of this one, so please help. If anyone could walk me through on how to save the phone, I would be very grateful.
Thank you so much in advance.
Can you reboot your phone in bootloader mode? To do so phone in OFF mode by holding volume down and pressing power should bring you to this mode.
Then you will need to install SDK tool to have your phone control. Read HERE to do so.
Once done, install a custom Recovery and start at the -- Recovery installation -- section of this GUIDE
When the recovery will be installed correctly, you will have to sideload a ROM to your phone.
Download or locate the desired ROM on your computer.
Rename it with a short name.
Place it in the sub-folder : Platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Reboot in TWRP RECOVERY
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload Slide to start.
From the command line, type : adb sideload your_rom_name.zip
It can take several minutes to complete the transfer.
If you need further help, I will be around to help.

Hi Lucky Thirteen,
Thank you so much for your fast response. The problem that I am running into is that I followed every step of installing SDK on to my computer. However, my device is not being recognized by the computer. No wizard, no USB recognition, it only tells me that the device has not been successfully installed.
Is there any way around this? Again, thank you so much.

This is normal if your phone has no OS installed. Follow this and go ahead in bootloader, it will work.
Download TWRP Recovery for the International version (ENRC2B) or for the AT&T/TELUS version (EVITARE_UL)
Once downloaded to simplify the operation rename your file like this : TWRPrecovery.img
Take this TWRPrecovery.img file and Copy/Paste it in the platform-tool of your SDK folder.
Reboot in bootloader mode. (Volume down & Power)
Make sure the FASTBOOT USB is highlighted.
At the prompt type >fastboot devices (Enter)
If you have your serial number as confirmation
At the prompt type >fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img (Enter)
If Success is achieved, type again at the prompt >fastboot erase cache (Enter)
You now have TWRP Recovery installed.
Unplug your USB cable and hit Power button one time.
Select Recovery with your Volume rocker.
Hit Power button one time.
Your phone should reboot in Recovery
Familiarize yourself with it.
Click on Advanced -> Sideload
And try transfer your desired ROM.
If this is successful, you will be able to select it in the Install section of the recovery.
Let see if this will work.

Hi Lucky Thirteen,
Again, thank you so much for all your help. I've been reading up on your guides and I've been learning so much. You truly are such a big help.
I was able to get Viper.img on to my phone through a adb sideload. However, when I reboot my phone, it still goes back to TWRP. I tried installing a rom through the Install option, but there is no .zip file that I can use when I go under /sdcard/Venom.
Is there any way I can get past TWRP?
Thank you so much

The ROM itself should be in a .zip format. You download the file you want and once finished you transfer it in your platform-tools folder without unzipping, it most remain a .zip file.
The image (.img) file (~5-10MB) is the boot.img to be flashed in fastboot mode for the ROM to boot.
So you have to sideload your intend ROM to your internal phone storage exemple : adb sideload The_Venom_Name_ROM.zip (Enter)
If I understood well, this is where you mixed up. Let me know the results.

I guess this is where I am confused. I am able to sideload Venom, and I install it, and it says that it's been installed successfully and that I reboot. I reboot, and TWRP comes up when I turn the phone back on.
From here, I tried to look for anything that would take me out of TWRP and onto the phone, but I cant seem to find it. So Venom has been successfully installed, but I don't know why TWRP keeps coming up.
Thank you
Try something, in recovery press and hold your power button your phone should reboot.

Ive rebooted it a couple times. Its so strange because I install it over sideload but when i restart the phone after installation, it takes me to TWRP no matter how many times I reboot. And the fact that it doesnt show up on my sdcard or anything.
Thank you for your quick replies
Did you flash boot ?

Take an older version of TWRP Recovery, if you installed the latest up to date version, take the previous one
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Results?

Still nothing. I reflashed TWRP and sideloaded Venom.
When I go under install, there is no option for Venom. I can't get past TWRP.
Any more suggestions? Thank you so much for being patient with me.

The file is rename sideload.zip on your SD card, so under install select Sideload then swipe and install your ROM. Don't forget to flash the boot.img in fastboot mode before.
Tell me how that goes.

Just to be clear. When you mean flash boot.img, you mean the TWRPrecovery that i have right?
So flash the TWRPrecovery.img and then install the sideload.zip?

I don't have FASTBOOT USB highlighted. I can't find one. So, I highlighted only the FASTBOOT. I then typed the fastboot devices. I got what seems to be the serial number. However, at the prompt, I tried typing fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img , but then it replies me "error: cannot load 'TWRPrecovery.img' : Invalid argument". I do have the downloaded recovery zip named TWRPrecovery.img in my platform-tools folder. What should I do now?
Thank you for bringing me here to this thread!
Hi Narakera,
When you are in bootloader mode, and you plug your USB cable the FASTBOOT USB doesn't highlight but your serial number is found. If you have a blue HBOOT + FASTBOOT highlighted then unplug your USB cable and press Power button once, this will bring you to a red FASTBOOT that will highlight FASTBOOT USB when a USB cable will be inserted. Could this be your issue?
See the screenshots for the differences.
my device is stuck in bootloop with no backup and is not showing up in adb for me to push rom to phone? suggestions????
What Version of adb do you have and which recovery are you using
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
Reboot into recovery, find the adb sideload option, activate it. Run adb sideload romname.zip on your computer where romname.zip is the ROM you want to flash. Sometimes it will take a number of minutes for your computer to recognize your device once it is in sideload mode. Just keep trying. I've had more luck doing this with TWRP than with CWM. We really should sticky some sort of sideload instructions...

Install TWRP instead of CWM! AFAIK adb sideload does not work on CWM recovery, had the same problem when i needed to use this command for the first time.

It has to work, believe me. Are you on latest TWRP 2.5.0.0? If not, you should probably update. Erasing cache in fastboot ("fastboot erase cache") may help sometimes. Did you wait long enough for adb to recognize your phone in sideload mode (may take some minutes)?
If not:
1. Boot your phone in recovery, connect it to your computer and start sideload mode in recovery.
2. Open command line, navigate to the folder where your adb/fastboot files are (you must also copy the desired rom.zip file into this folder)
3. Type "adb start-server" and now wait some minutes.
4. Type "adb devices", your device should now be listed there in sideload mode. If not, wait some more time and try again
(10 min should be enough, if not, there's probably something wrong with the driver or adb files on your computer)
5. Now you can type "adb sideload name_of_your_rom.zip"
It should work now. when it's finished, the rom.zip file is saved on your phones internal memory as "sideload.zip"
If not, there must be something wrong with your driver and/or adb/fastboot files. Try reinstalling them then.

Ok... This is my 4th android phone.. And I love this phone... And only had it for a week.... and just now got it bricked.... here's what happen... Today I tried to flash a sense 4.1 rom, but im so new at this, and I'm half way done, and I went in a rush because I was nervous, and I accidentally press "install and keep data" and that was my mistake. I factory reset it b4 so I tried to flash it... So I thought it wouldn't be a problem. So I waited till the phone finish flashing. And when I rebooted the phone.... Nothing happened, just stuck on the white screen.... vibrating and etc... And I tried to restore all my data in clockworkmod recovery like I never even tried flashed it.. and it kept saying "won't mount sd card" and I tried to clear my cache/dalvik-cache, and like it still wont fix the issue. I even tried to restore wat I backup b4 I tried to flash it... and It was gone!!! Even my windows 8 laptop won't even detect my resound nor my sd card(unless its on a different android). But How can I fix my Rezound?!? plzzzz How can I fix this soft bricked issue? pllzzzzzzz help!!!
Im assuming you already have adb installed
Download this file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/oa2sjlvrecx0wdn/recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img.zip
Extract the recovery img
Put it in the adb folder
Load into fastboot
Open up the terminal
Put "cd" then hit space
Drag and drop the adb folder into the terminal window then hit enter
Now use this command to flash that recovery "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotation marks)
Now go into recovery Find "format data system cache ect."
Go to format all to ext3 once that is done hit return
Flash your prefered rom from the flash menu and all that
Once you are done return to the main menu and go to "developer menu"
Then reboot to bootloader
Now go into your rom that you downloaded on your pc and find the rom now open it and get the boot.img
Copy the boot.img file to your adb folder
Open up terminal again and this time use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in terminal its going to say sending then writing usually takes a couple of seconds
now just go to the reboot option and your rom should work
Now remember that since you are s on you need to get the boot.img file from EVERY rom you install and flash it thru the terminal in order to get your rom working

Drag and drop the adb folder into the terminal window then hit enter
Now use this command to flash that recovery "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotation marks)
Now go into recovery Find "format data system cache ect."
Go to format all to ext3 once that is done hit return
Flash your prefered rom from the flash menu and all that
Once you are done return to the main menu and go to "developer menu"
Then reboot to bootloader
Now go into your rom that you downloaded on your pc and find the rom now open it and get the boot.img
Copy the boot.img file to your adb folder
Open up terminal again and this time use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in terminal its going to say sending then writing usually takes a couple of seconds
now just go to the reboot option and your rom should work
Now remember that since you are s on you need to get the boot.img file from EVERY rom you install and flash it thru the terminal in order to get your rom working

If you are S-ON, you are likely not bricked, it's almost impossible to completely brick when you are S-ON.
Why do people keep telling occasional flashers that are S-ON to do this?!?!? It is the hard way, also don't use Amon Ra, is it outdated and known to cause issues with current ROMs, use TWRP or CWM recovery!!! Also, verify your ROM is specifically for the HTC Rezound, check the Developer threads here and make sure it is stable and widely used unless you really know what you are doing.
Although xkjonathanxk is on the right track, he is making more complicated than it needs to be...
- Download the first link in the first post of this thread and place it on the root of your SD card: [Tool] - 3/24 - CleanWIPE 1.0 - Wipe 5 or 10x before ROM install! - 1heffer Edition! (CleanWIPE formats all the necessary partitions for you, and prepares the phone for a new ROM)
- Download TWRP or CWM Rececovery (one of the first two links in post 1) and extract the recovery*.img and place it in the adb folder that contains fastboot.
- Download a tested and verified ROM of choice and place it on the root of your SD card
- Now, reboot into fastboot, remove battery and hold down Power and Vol Dn, once the menu comes up select Fastboot and press power, connect phone to PC
- In ADB enter the command "fastboot devices", if it shows a device continue, if not report back please
- Now enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" and TWRP (or CWM) should open on the device in a few seconds (replace recovery.img with whatever the name of the xxxx.img file is from TWRP or CWM archive)
- Install the CleanWIPE zip from above
- Install ROM zip image
- Reboot and enjoy the goodness
Remember to give the ROM some time to settle down on the first boot, and that the first boot can take a long time, like a painfully wrong "WTF did I do to ruin my device!" long time, but give it a solid 10 minutes before doing anything else.

For the things you need to do, its not much different than Windows. Download and install adb, copy images to same places, and the commands are pretty much the same. If you can dualboot you obviously have some knowledge of such things.
If this is all do difficult, just grab a thumb drive, put mini-adb, recovery.img, and your ROM on it and go to a buddies computer with Win7 for 20 minutes and get it done that way.
I know this seems like a huge, potentially fatal problem, but it is minor...
Another thought I had... Download TWRP, go into CWM recovery and copy the TWRP file and ROM to the sd card, and FLASH TWRP recovery ZIP with CWM recovery, reboot into recovery and you will then be on TWRP and you can use TWRP's HTC Dumlock to flash the ROM and the boot.img without a PC at all... In theory, it should work.

[[ SOLVED ]]
I was trying to flash a rom and I did wrong.
The phone got stuck on the white HTC screen.
I'm trying to get it back, the problem is that when I connect to the pc is not recognized. I installed SDK Tools, adb, drivers and all.
All In One Toolkit run and try to flash the boot.img but it says "error: device not found"
I run adb commands but it says the same thing, "error: device not found"
I tried it with Venom Flasher but I can not solve.
I uninstalled and went back to install the drivers, but I still have the same result, I run out of options.
When I turn the phone enters fastboot, I can access the recovery, but the phone at this time does not rom, dead.
By mistake I went to lock the bootloader but today I unlock it again with the All In One Toolkit and the bin file, so do not understand why if the file could flasher to unlock the bootloader again, but when trying to flash the boot.img or execute commands like: adb devices, adb reboot bootloader throws the error "device not found"
I appreciate it can help me ...

ADB commands are only recognized in recovery or when system is running. re-unlock your bootloader first. you can reboot into bootloader by pressing and holding power & volume-down button. navigate using volume buttons and enter fastboot by pressing power button. Now you can flash boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" or using any One X+ compatible toolkit. If it doesn't work, try installing latest HTC sync on your computer to get latest drivers. you can uninstall htc sync later again, the drivers will remain installed.

Yeah, try doing that. I locked boot loader again but still had no results. What I did right now was "fastboot flash boot boot.img" says ok, but just gets stuck on the white screen. The phone right now has no information, nothing. I have in my pc folder with the rom that was installed (zip with boot.img) I have the latest version of clockworkmode.

Did you do a wipe in before flashing the new rom?
Anyway you can copy a new rom.zip onto your phone using "adb sideload rom.zip" or "adb push rom.zip /data/media/0" while you're in recovery. Then do a full wipe first, flash rom and don't forget to flash boot.img.

Thanks for your help...
I cant flash zip file, its says "error: device not found".
I put the zip file in adb folder, then "adb sideload filename.zip"
Do not know if I'm doing well, I turn on the phone in recovery mode, then with the volume keys I go to "install zip" option then "install zip from sideload" then run the command I get the error.

ADB may take some time to recognize your device in recovery. Try "adb devices" first and if it isn't listed as in recovery or sideload, wait some minutes and try again. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes though.
But you have installed latest drivers?

Your phone needs to be in recognized as in sideload mode in order to use adb sideload. when recognized in recovery, try "adb push rom.zip /data/media/0", this will copy your rom onto your phones internal memory. Depending on rom size, this may take some minutes and there's no progress bar/display, so give it some time, 10 min should be enough.
