Hello. I'm kind of new to all of this. I have the android incredible 4g lte which WAS running the CM 10.1 mod but I recently wiped everything for the CM 11 mod. No, I didn't create a backup or restore. Yes, I feel incredibly stupid. Now I can't get the cm11 mod installed. It gives me an error that says "(Status 7)" in TWRP (v2.2.0). I've been doing a bit of reading and am having some trouble understanding what to do here.
Do I need to flash over the ClockworkMod recovery software using SDK tools and then flash over the recovery file from this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552150
Is the recovery needed to install CM11?
Do I need to be using the clockworkmod recovery software? I don't remember the steps that I took to get cm10.1 installed as it was a couple of years ago. I remember the process taking me a couple of hours.
I would very much so appreciate the help. Thanks
EDIT 1: I managed to install Clockwork manager and get rid of twrp and I "installed" the mod. Unfortunately, the mod doesn't load and now the HTC boot screen just hangs indefinitely. My computer is recognizing the device but mounting the sdcard isn't showing anything on my computer which is a pretty big problem as I need that in order to at least go back to the stock RUU. I can get back into the bootloader and recovery but am unsure what to do at this point. I am also having a difficult time ADB pushing anything to the /storage/sdcard1/ directory. I ran as admin and still no luck.
Also, phone is not s-off.
EDIT 2: CWM not mounting sdcard1. Trying newer version of TWRP
EDIT 2a: TWRP 2.7.0.0 gave me access to sdcard1 from PC again.
EDIT 2b: Tried different another CM11 download. Still hangs at HTC bootscreen.
EDIT 2c: SD card no longer is recognized through phone. Am using an SD adapter directly to computer to access and change files... Problem seems to be getting worse, the more I screw with it.
EDIT 2d: Switched to CWM Recovery v6.0.4.6. Install of rom took less than a minute. Am skeptical... And no dice. Could really use some help...
EDIT 3: At this point I tried the avatar rom and it stops at the HTC screen for around 45 seconds then continues on to a black screen with the menu button lit up. Not sure what's going on...
LAST AND FINAL EDIT: I'm a moron... I didn't flash the boot.img to the boot directory. Feel free to make fun of me in the comment boxes below!!!

I am one of the lucky ones who got their tablet from woot/amazon for $280.
I got it in yesterday and absolutely hated the Tap Tap interface.
Naturally, I wanted to install a new ROM. I could only get the TnT Lite to install, but still not what I wanted. I tried Vegan and G-Harmony and I got the dreaded 3 bird screen. I downloaded and successfully installed 3588 and rebooted it. I noticed the ClockworkMod is no longer on there, which is no problem.
I followed the directions to install Clockwork and ROMS from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I, for some reason, decided to install Vegan again w/o clockwork installed.
I mounted the internal memory card, copied he ROM over as update.zip with the Recovery folder and the command file set to install from SDCARD. A reboot later and now I am stuck at the 3 birds...
I was able to do the Power +Vol and get the "Recovery key detected" message and it seems to load something, hitting the home button gives me the verbose which indicated that it was trying to install something off SDCARD2.
I have tried 3588, clockworkmod and Vegan as update zip on the external SD card with the Recovery folder command file pointing to SDCARD2.
When booting into Recovery, the verbose says: "FORMATTING MISC... REBOOTING..." takes about 4 seconds to complete, reboots and back to the 3 birds screen.
So, how do I [email protected]#$ myself here?
UPDATE!
I got my tablet to boot into CWM!! I ended up putting the MicroSD version of CWM and held down the Power +Vol longer that normal, saw the Android text and it installed the update.zip.
I tried in vain to boot into CWM, but it would re-install the update.zip. *Head smack* took out the SD card and now it boots into CWM!
Now, to try to install a ROM w/o those damn 3 bird screen...
Bootlogo not part of a ROM
You can replace the birds logo, but it is not part of a ROM. Search for replace boot logo, but make sure you know the correct partition to push your custom logo too. Read the entire thread when you find it first. There are tools out there that will let you back up your partitions, I highly recommend doing that first. Search for backup bct and look for PooR's thread and tools.

The boot logo is not my issue, it's just that it does not go past it no matter what non-TnT ROM I try to install.
I just want to install anything other than the factory OS or a modified factory OS (no disrespect to the dev who made TnT Lite).
I started another thread on my troubles getting a new ROM on there:

I have been trying to get my rooted Galaxy Nexus to load the CWM Touch recovery image, and I just can't seem to get it to stick. I originally just tried to install the basic non-touch version from Rom Manager. When it rebooted, I got the red ! and a dead robot. So I booted into fast boot, and flashed the touch recovery. After flashing if I go straight to recovery, I do get the CWM recovery and can backup. My problem is that if I the reboot the phone, I can never get back to it again. I always end up at the red ! and a dead robot.
I read on another thread to rename the file "/recovery-from-boot.p" to "recovery-from-boot.p-bak" and that it might require reflashing the image. I moved this file and re-named it, reflashed, booted into android. Then powered off and booted into recover mode, just to see the red ! again.
It seems that when I first flash I can go into it, but anytime after that it just dies. Anyone have a deeper knowledge of what is going on here and care to point me in the right direction? I could probably just go ahead and flash a new image to the phone but I don't feel good doing that while the recovery image seems to need re-imaging every time.
Hi there,
You're correct, you need to rename/delete that file to make cwm stick on the nexus.
If you reboot the phone before removing that file, the file will update your settings to point to the old recovery instead of cwm.
Since you've just renamed it, reinstalling cwm should do the trick.
You're renaming the wrong file. You need to rename or delete install-recovery.sh from system/ect
Recently decided to try and switch over to CM10, and have been having an issue with recovery. Both of the latest CWM and TWRP recoveries freeze for me after booting into them. The only recovery that works for me is the one that is flashed with the old app by Indirect but that flashes a really old CWM recovery. The recoveries that I have tried flashing are the ones linked to in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877217 thread. Both http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/CWM_v6.0.1.5_emmc.zip and http://celticstorage.co.uk/cm10/TWRP_v2.3.1.1_emmc.zip are doing it. I have a 16GB that ive kept (rooted) stock forever.
What happens is i go to boot to recovery, go through cyanoboot to recovery, and then CWM freezes up and blackscreens after I try to wipe something or install a zip, TWRP just locks up immediately and gives me a black screen. Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Use this thread to install CWM, I'm not a fan of TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25786947 I used this and had no problems updating

This has been happening to me occasionally. I have found that when I get the black screen, pressing the Power button launches Recovery (CWM in my case). See if that works for you.
I now have the exact same problem. I've always ran off emmc. It says cwm 6.0.1.5 is installed. When I try to either wipe, or install zip-from-sd, cwm freezes then goes to the black screen. I cannot install any zips, so right now the tablet has nothing installed only a freezing cwm recovery it seems. I can use the power button to get out of the black screen and into cwm thru cyanoboot all day, but get nothing but these same steps reoccurring. Freeze, then black sod. I'm ready to try anything but cannot flash anything.
To the rescue
Ok, I have posted this on a different day. Try this with a blank sd card. Look at the bottom post called "Here is a video"
It a external boot cwm v.5 but you can copy this into your sd then flash and you have cwm v6.0.1.5 internal. Either way you have two ways to do recovery (external and internal):victory:

Thanks very much for the reply & link!
I'll do this ASAP when I get back home & report. Thx again!

Well, I think I need to clarify more. Maybe somebody can help if I give more info. I've had cm7 running perfect, then decided to install cm10. I first flashed a cwm 6.0.1.5 zip to emmc. I did a factory reset via this recovery thinking my next move would be to flash the cm10 zip I'd put on the sd. No joy. This is where I'm at now.
In recovery it freezes and reboots to the "2 androids" screen with a sod. I hold power for 20 sec.s to turn off, then turn back on and get to cyanoboot fine. There, if it's allowed to just boot it freezes at the 2 androids. If I hold "n" to get the menu and recovery (6.0.1.5) it looks normal, will boot to recovery OK until anything is selected like the cm10 zip. It freezes before any selections can be finalized, and boots to that sod screen.
I know nothing of ubuntu! Sorta scared to go there with my limited knowledge. But will read up if it's required. Is it possible that this new recovery image don't play with what is currently on the sd? Is there anything I can put there that it may recognize in order to get a flash? Man, I'm lost!
Look pass the fear and go one step at a time, before you know it, your there.
It looks like you have already resolved this from this thread.
Ok, basically I'll go step by step.
1. Download ubuntu iso from ubuntu website (you can donate or put 0$ then download iso) and burn it to cd. 5 minutes
2. Stick the cd into a system that you don't plan to look at the video that is showing you the process and boot it up from a reboot and not from within windows. Select the left square which basically load the ubunbu from cd but does not install anything to your hard drive.3 minutes
3. You can view the whole video but I would skip to the section in video (3:28 watch to 4:43, 6:56 watch to 8:06 ) where I mentioned the setting the two flags in your sd after quick format fat32 and extracting the four files into your sd within ms windows platform from the post . I did this with a normal mini sd card adapter and not the usb stick adapter he used in the video. Since you are doing this to a blank mini sd then there really nothing to worry about since it is blank in the first place. 2 minute
4. If you had your apps backup with titanium backup then it still will be on the main mini sd and not the one that working with for this recovery.
5. I notice you did not mention wipe dalvik cache from your post. You should always wipe dalvik then wipe factory then do a single flash to test boot up.. You can flash gapps after a successful boot up into jellybean. (here's a video showing that I'm using external cwm v.5 even though its recommended to use v.6 .) You can always use cwm v.6 on your next cm10 test rom or use cwm v.6 to reflash to same rom once a successful boot up have been obtained with external cwm v.5. This purpose is to get it running on your nt.
6. Be patient for the first boot. Should not be more than 5 minutes max. It will look black then load. If it boot loops then wipe dalvik then wipe factory and do a single flash to test boot up again.
This will at least get cm 10 flavored rom on to your nt.

Got it back! Thank you for your help & patience. Also for the timely responses. I now have a bootable "recovery sd card" for curing these type problems. I've labeled it & filed away for any future borks of this kind! And I have cm10 up & running stable.
Thank you!

So I wanted to root my EVO 4G LTE, and I unlocked the bootloader, and then I did moonshine to get S-OFF. The ADB worked fine before that, but every rom I tried to flash didn't get past the boot screen. I looked on here for help and saw stuff about a boot img but since I couldn't get into the ADB I couldn't do anything. So, I decided to do use VipeRUU to get back to where I was in the beginning and try to get back to a stock rom. VipeRUU never could recognize my device so I had to do that bypass method, so I did get to S-ON and have the bootloader unlocked without saying tampered. Also, every time I try to connect my phone to my computer by USB I get the message saying USB Device not recognized. I don't know why that is happening. I can't get into the ADB, if I try to open it, it just flashes for a second running through some text and then instantly closes. Maybe I don't have drivers or something? However, I don't remember deleting anything of the sort.
Now I want to do either one of these things:
1. Just return the phone to how it was before I even tried to root it in the first place.
2. Help me get it back to a standard root that I can use and connect to my computer without issue and still get into my bootloader and potentially flash a decent rom.
I know a lot of these problems exist individually on here, but I feel like I have a specific issue, so I don't really know where to approach this from. All help is appreciated.
Download MeanBean ROM to your computer. Boot into recovery and hook your phone up to your PC. Use the mount setting in recovery to mount either your internal or external storage to your PC then put the ROM zip on your phone. Unmount once you finish transferring the file to your phone. Do a system wipe in recovery (if you're using TWRP 2.6.0.0 choose the Advanced wipe option and select cache, Dalvik cache, Data and System) then flash the MeanBean zip. Once it finishes choose the option to reboot your phone. The phone will boot to the HTC splash screen, then it will reboot into recovery mode. Flash the ROM zip again, and reboot. Let it do its thing and the phone should boot up in a few minutes. Also, check out the link in my sig-it has some useful information contained in it and even has links for the HTC drivers and an easy to follow guide on how to setup ADB on your computer. I also recommend getting S-off:thumbup:

Hello, this isn't life or death, as this isn't my daily driver, but I do use this phone at lunchtime when I'm at the gym on Wifi and it's always worked well for me. Here are the issues somewhat chronologically:
1) I was on CM10 and have always had connectivity issues with Exchange Server email, so I decided to update to the latest CM11 in the hope that that issue would be resolved.
2) I decided to go to ROM Manager and update the Clockwork Mod Recovery, because I'd had some issues with the Philz Touch V. 6 that was already on there. This was probably my first mistake.
3) When I rebooted into recovery, inexplicably Philz Touch came back up instead of Clockword Mod.
4) I performed a factory reset and went ahead and attempted to flash the newer CM11 and the Gapps like I usually would. After that it's been nothing but problems.
5) Ever since then, I've only been able to make it to the White HTC Screen- the OS won't load up.
6) I can get back into the bootloader and recovery, but can't seem to flash any other recovery (I've tried through HBOOT and installing a recovery zip (always renaming all the images as PJ35IMG.zip)
7) every time I get some kind of error message in HBOOT: aborted "no image" ; "bad" "status 7" ; "status 0" etc
8) This is further compounded because I can't get ADB to recognize the device (USB won't even recognize the device); which I suspect is due to it not booting to the OS, so I can't use Fastboot/ADB commands
9) I've searched and attempted pretty much every fix I could find- I even ran the RUU img (which I renamed to the zip file above) and that made it a little further in the process and actually made it a little further before it aborted (can't run the normal RUU.exe because USB doesn't recognize my phone) Also tried deleting the assert lines in attempts to deal with the Status 7 error. I've also re-formatted my SD card, to no avail.
10) So in summing up, basically my bootloader won't flash any images (always gives "no image" error); and my recovery won't fully install any zip file (neither alternate recoveries nor ROMs (always aborts) (However Gapps does install successfully)
11) I wasted a full day trying all this yesterday, so before I give up completely, just wanted to see if anyone out there might have a fix that has eluded me. I apologize for being so long-winded- I just wanted to get everything in there to see if it would help. Thanks in advance.
