My HTC Desire VC (T328d) was rooted and running Android OS 4.0.3 (ics).
In recovery mode, I accidentally formatted /system folder (from internal phone memory).
This is because the recovery mode is all in chinese language and I did a huge mistake.
The phone cannot boot showing HTC logo screen and no boot sound.
I've downloaded the kernel for this device at htcdev.com and I don't know how to use it and what it is for.
Fortunately, I can enter recovery mode. My friend has the same device and his is not rooted yet. Maybe I can get some files from him.
Any solution, please?
Learn Chinese?
Flash a rom?
You should ask in a Desire forum tho

I can't find the rom ... can u please help me?
There is no forum for my device. Only for Desire, Desire HD, Desire V ,.........
Looks like your best shot is to root your friends phone, do a nandroid backup, restore it to yours, then reset to factory defaults.
Don't forget to use V6 SuperCharger afterwards... lol
please tell me

Thanks for your advice. But, I don't know how to do nandroid backup. The instructions say that it is apk app. I can't even boot my phone and how can I use apk ? In addition, now I installed a recovery from china site (for Desire VC specifically) and it contains backup and restore function. Is it the same with Nandroid Backup or CWM ?
Can you instruct me in some steps, please ?

Yes, the backup option you see in recovery is Nandroid backup. Please be carefull in formatting system, it would wipe your ROM. Always take nandroid backup before you playing with other Rom.
Here you go,
1. Take nandroid backup of your friends ROM
2. Place the backup into your sd card( backup available in clockwork folder in ur friends mobile. Just copy the entire clockwork folder and paste in ur sd card. Now mount the sdcard in ur mobile)
3. Reboot in recovery.
4. Wipe cache and dalvik
5. Restore from nandroid.
Let me know this helps..

Dalvik is virtual machine that runs Android Apps on Android. Dalvik-cache is the cache area for Dalvik VM, it is created when the Dalvik VM optimizes your app for running.
Dalvik is the virtual machine that is used by Android. It is generally thought of as a java virtual machine, although this is not precisely correct. It uses an object model that is identical to java, and it's memory model is also nearly equivalent. But the
Accordingly, it uses a completely different bytecode than java. However, the Android SDK includes the dex tool to translate java bytecode to dalvik bytecode, which is why you are able to write Android applications in java.
When you install an application on Android, it performs some modifications and optimizations on that application's dex file (the file that contains all the dalvik bytecode for the application). It then caches the resulting odex (optimized dex) file in the /data/dalvik-cache folder, so that it doesn't have to perform the optimization process every time it loads an application.

These are in my list of recovery menu:
1 - Reboot the system
2 - Select Update
3 - Restore the factory
4 - Empty the cache
5 - Backup and recovery
6- Mount storage
7 - Advance
- Empty the battery status
- Reporting errors
- Keys test
- Card partition
- Permissions repair
8 - Shutdown
I wish to succeed with nandroid backup and restore method.

Your recovery is not CWM recovery.
You must flash CWM recovery first. With CWM recovery, you can find "wipe delvik cache"
under Advance menu.

Try all basic things, like clearing RAM, Booting your phone etc. If its not solved, try to flash the kernel via recovery. Please ensure that you are s-off for this. Even after flashing the kernel that issue persists, please check your radio (baseband) is latest. Else update the radio. I guess, flashing kernel will solve the issue.
Please let me know whether you are s-off and rooted.
Tips: its my personal advice to be s-off (your warranty voids)
Edit:
If you are HTC.dev unlocked and s-on then follow below steps to flash the kernel.

From where do I have to find "boot.img" ?
I have only back up folder (ROM) from my friend's phone. And I just restored it (including boot.img) with CWM nandroid backup.
Is that the same with your instruction from step 1 to 5 ?
I can selectively restore "boot.img" with CWM nandroid recovery. Is that the same ?
In addition, the version of Kernel I downloaded is the same with my phone currently. I downloaded it from http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
I got primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920.zip file. When I extract it, I just found "bcm4329" folder under "primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920/drivers/net/wireless" path. I can't find "bcm4329.ko"
Do you mean the driver in my system is not compatible with my phone after restore ?

Boot.IMG is consists of kernel and ramdisk. They both necessary to start up the device, initializing the hardware, phone etc.
Since you are s-on, while placing the boot.img from nandroid, its not well placed. S-0N means, security on that doesn't allows to flash boot.img from nandroid.
I guess, every time you flash the via recovery boot.img is not placed in correct partition.
So, you have alternative method which allows to place the boot.img in correct path.That's why asked to do it via fastboot mode. Hope you understand.
In addition, the version of Kernel I downloaded is the same with my phone currently. I downloaded it from http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
I got primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920.zip file. When I extract it, I just found "bcm4329" folder under "primodd-ics-crc-3.0.16-ead8920/drivers/net/wireless" path. I can't find "bcm4329.ko"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since you have problem only with WiFi and Bluetooth. You can skip fastboot method. bcm4329.ko is same as what you found in the kernel that you downloaded from HTC dev. (Just right click and check the file extension from your pc)
Your friends WiFi and Bluetooth are working fine. bcm4329.ko is responsible for WiFi and Bluetooth. Since you used recovery to restore nandroid, the bcm4329.ko is not placed in the system/lib/modules path. So manually you are placing it
To make it easier do the following
1. From your friends mobile, goto system/lib/modules copy bcm4329.ko file into your pc (use root file explorer)
2. Place that file in your sd card.
3. Then use root explorer and follow the steps mentioned in previous post.( 4 steps under root explorer)
Please let me know if this works.
PS: take nandroid before performing. No warranty for any tips provided. Please do search on google regarding kernel, android partition, bcm4329.ko etc.
Since I don't have pc, I can't help you more with respective links to other sites. Yes, It took much time to compose in my android touch screen.

What does "shine" mean ?
My friend can't find "bcm4329.ko" such a file under /system/lib/modules
So, I'm trying to take matching the files under /system/lib/modules to know the missing files.
Any idea ?
My friend told me he has same files as mine in /system/lib/modules
These are the file list
bluetooth.ko
bnep.ko
btwilink.ko
cfg80211.ko
compat.ko
fm_drv.ko
hidp.ko
kineto_gan.ko
mac80211.ko
rfcomm.ko

He has only those files (not include "bcm4329.ko")
What should I do now ?
Hi !
Guys please help me out !
I have a CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8 and when i try to backup my rom using backup and restore... CWM starts doing the backup...It backs up system ...but when it shows backing up data...it hangs and gets stuck at the end of backing up of data stage ...
The phone restarts after 5 minutes ...
Backup is not complete
In order to confirm whether there is any fault in the recovery i told some other persn t test it.
But he was successfully able t backup ... and the recovery showed backup complete message..
im using karbonn a21
Please help where is the fault !!!???
HELP PLEASE TILL NOW I CANT FIND ANY PROPER SOLUTION TO THIS !!!
RE:
check if any of the following holds true, then please correct it:
1. your phone might not be rooted (or rot access is not given to CWM)
2. you may have the wrong/corrupt clockworkmod (always check md5 checksum for verification).
if the problem persists, try the following:
-> run 'fix permissions' under the utilities menu of CWM recovery
-> reboot into recovery mode and do a cache/user data format.
hope that does it.
Cheers.
(Thumbs up if it works)

what does fix permissions do exactly ?
ive tried factory resetting and then taking the backup but no luck !!!!

RE:
fix permissions, as the name suggests, fixes all the root permissions (if anything ever went wrong during rooting).
again, have you verified the md5 checksum of the cloclworkmod you downloaded?

the md5 is not related to CWM.
it's the code generated for any specific file and is used to check whether a downloaded file is corrupted or not.

My basic question is

2nd : You need some files to check the md5 sum of . Which files do i check the md5 sum of ??

I would try a different SD card. If you don't have one, try borrowing the friend's for whom your version of cwm succeeded. To be safe, you should make sure that there are at least 3GBs free space.
Dears,
I've received the OTA_T6_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_2.61.401.3-1.54.401.1_release update, and integrated it with my ROM, and I backed it up via TWRP recovery (System/Boot)
if you want to try it , your MAX must be GSM ,it is fully functional, and stock /unrooted and without any modifications.
And it requires few simple step to install it :
1- download the file ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1yctvgu68jxomh/2014-03-26--18-11-42 KOT49H release-keys.zip )
2- Extract it
3- Put it in TWRP backup folder on your SDcard ( TWRP/BACKUP/FA3NK..../
4- Full wipe/ format system/ clear cache /
5- Restore
6- Enjoy!

make a backup of your own rom.
check sd card
there is a folder... i think twrp
in there there will be a backup folder
in there, there will be another one... pretty cryptic ... for me its something like DHSFSFS01
in there there is your backup... you can delete it if you want or keep it
copy the folder of the rom from this thread to DHSFSFS01 or what its called on your phone...
now back in recovery you can restore both... your rom and the one you downloaded

That means the system partition is write protected.
You will need to edit the file and flash it in recovery for the changes to take.

Hi guys:
I used to flash ROMs on my mobile (ace s5830i) with CWM and try new ROMs, yesterday I flashed a ROM which I tried it several times before , the IMEI has gone
I tried to flash stock Firmware with Odin but still no IMEI
Unfortunately, I lost efi backup
I tried Galaxy Toolbox 33 times but still no IMEI
What should I do???
Please HELP !!!
p.s I have IMEI no. which is behind the battery
@ayobi93, CSC/PDA/MODEM of the stock firmware you are coming from ? your stock Android version/ Stock Kernel version ,please describe in details name of the Rom this incident happened upon your flashing and whole process such as flashing custom kernel on top of your new custom Rom and any insignificant bits of information, which might help shed some light on your unsuccessful IMEI recovery after reverting back . ( You did state you are no longer have your backup file ,, shame though , I addressed most of the possible solution here @ post 1125 based on this file .

I flashed stock rom with odin 1.84 with pit (cooperve_0623.pit)
Boot : XXLB1, CSC : OXXLA2, PDA : XXLA4, Modem : XXLA2
Stock version : XXLA2
The ROM that causes this problem: Touchwiz RES v9.5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358404
@ayobi93, XXLA2 stock firmware is pretty much old, but it is quite compatible with TWR v9.5 according to OP of Rom. However loss of IMEI number reported after flashing this /Custom Rom based on stocked kernel/ occasionally though. You can read some of the customer's testimony based on this typical issue and my response/advise in this matter @ post 1540-1541.
Assumptions :
- Typing the "*#06#" into your dialer,shows noting >> it was wiped out
- "bml15.img.SAVE" or "EFSpart.img.SAVE" are non-existence
- You are staying on your stock kernel
Possible solutions : ( may or may not work ,, we are trying to revive your IMEI )
1. use part of my instructions for CM11 , which starts with this line @ post 297 "- We need wipe flash-able zip package for clean installation....." for wipe flash able procedures .

@ayobi93, XXLA2 stock firmware is pretty much old, but it is quite compatible with TWR v9.5 according to OP of Rom. However loss of IMEI number reported after flashing this /Custom Rom based on stocked kernel/ occasionally though. You can read some of the customer's testimony based on this typical issue and my response/advise in this matter @ post 1540-1541.
Assumptions :
- Typing the "*#06#" into your dialer,shows noting >> it was wiped out
- "bml15.img.SAVE" or "EFSpart.img.SAVE" are non-existence
- You are staying on your stock kernel
Possible solutions : ( may or may not work ,, we are trying to revive your IMEI )
1. use part of my instructions for CM11 , which starts with this line @ post 297 "- We need wipe flash-able zip package for clean installation....." for wipe flash able procedures .

Thnx for answering me
I get confused a little bit (because of those many links) but I did what I get from them like the cleaning idea
but still no IMEI
Maybe I'm a stupid, but I REALY REALY need a HELP
Please be patient with me
@ayobi93, There is no need to re-quote mate, only mentioning my username anywhere @ XDA send me a notification through my mail box. As for your problem , we are trying to use/make flash able zip package ( CSC/MODEM/PDA ) and flash it over Odin to get clean start point . Process is varied from one case to another. Normally you get Odin 3 ( pit file reside inside link's attachment from part of CM11 instructions + Boot loader ) and then you make your own flash able by splifus2 app for your "i" variant device or simply get already made zip files from sources that was mentioned . you can make your own Based on your original non flash able xxx.tar.md5 file could be found inside sammobile.com database ( instruction links , same place) . then you put your CSC/PDA/MODEM parts into their respective places , Re-partition option not selected at this time , Flash > reboot to stock e3 recovery of your device , provided you are familiar with combo key to get to recovery and Download mode of s5830 i) >> Wipe/reset data and you are done.
If you did encounter any symptoms i did describe inside CM11 instructions link , only then you add your pit file inside Odin3 and marked re-partition; boot loader in it's place and flash . After getting to our clean start point , check for IMEi , and then rest of the story till we get some result .
Please speak your mind openly , if any part is not clear. I do provide extra explanation .
@ehsanotaku , sorry but it's first time I have posted in XDA
I did those steps:
1-I flashed stock ROM (CSC/MODEM/PDA) with odin3.09 without bootloader then I did wipe data/factory reset (from e3)
2-I Formated and mounted data & System & Cache then wiped Dalvik cache (but it fails "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] & cant't remove....:No such file or directory"
3-I flashed stock ROM !!! (CM11.zip can't be flashed with odin; by the way CM11 always breaks my phone) with pit (repartition checked) & bootloader then I did wipe data/factory reset
4- Still no IMEI
I know there are some big mistakes but that is what I get it
p.s I have some other stock PDAs (XXLD3,JPLB1,XXLK3) Should I try them?? If yes:I should flash PDA alone or with CSC & Modem?
@ayobi93, Sometimes I get carried away, so my explanations become misleading/full of vague technical terms . I meant part of the CM11 instructions not installing CM11 on you device literally. Those part of CM11 instruction was describing how to create your own flash able package from non stock flash able from sammobile database; this page ; <Registration is required for download> you can look into this instruction; this page >post9< to make your own ,based on what you did download from database.
It really doesn't matter which package you choose from either of the sources, based on regional preferences. If you don't want to make your CSC/PDA/MODEM. just pick one please.
Source1 ; Source2; Source3;
Please use Odin/pit file and boot loader attached into this post.
After connecting to your PC via your USB cable , put CSC/PDA/MODEM into their corresponding places ; Put pit file and boot loader into place as well; Re-partition ticked >> Flash ( rebooting to e3 stock recovery and wipe/reset is optional , since these packages are made for cleaning your /data upon flashing )
Know get into your Android OS and check your IMEI number . I will explain the rest of the actions later ,,,
Hope I did help you
Instructions:
1. Download and install the program "HexWorkshop Hex Editor v6.7" on PC (Googling).
2. Download the app "Galaxy Toolbox" of Google Play Store.
- Install the application on Android and open, accept, and select "Back up", and exit.
- See his backup file in / sdcard/SGYunlock/bml15.img.SAVE
- Move the file to your PC (Make a backup of his again, this is just in case)
- Open the hex editor program that was already installed on the PC.
- Open file backup his
- Make sure the filter character remains on the "Legacy ASCII"
- Write: 0x80000 in the blank box (Go to)
- Click ENTER
- Press the IMEI number which is 15 Digits. ( you can get IMEI number from your phone box or just remove the battery )
- SAVE, then close the program.
- Move the file "bml15.img.SAVE" to /sdcard/SGYunlock/HERE.
- Open the "Galaxy Toolbox" it, agree, and RESTORE, and exit.
- Reboot, and enjoy..
@Trickster22, Read our discussion , before copy/paste old instruction here kindly . Links already provided and FYI the path and appointed file is not the one you kindly copy/paste without reading his statement. He lost his EFS backup file, so downloading tool i did mention probably can not backup IMEI that not existed anymore. However we will try this step, after reverting back to newer stock firmware . ( whenever he is good and ready )
@ehsanotaku I formated system, cache and data then I flashed (PDA,modem & CSC ) from Source2 and bootloader & pit from attached files using odin3.07 (from another site because odin from attached files is unworking!)
I dialed *#06# but still no IMEI
I reflashed my phone using surce1 instead of source2 (without formating) but still no IMEI
p.s I rememberd that the phone has broken because of cm11 not TWR
@ayobi93, the instruction i did suggest on post 4, was for re-installing TWR v9.5 , so now you do remember CM11, nightly build caused the loss of IMEI ?
What version of Temp-CWM you are using ? is it cooperVe compatible ? How did you proceed with CM11 installation ( double check my instruction method on post#297 , what part you did it differently ? )
Ok now let's run an experiment based on galaxy toolbox I did instruct on post 1>>
Download it from play store , go into Device info ( give me a screenshot ) > try to back up EFS partition with it ( regardless of any massage you receive, go to /sdcard/GalaxyToolbox/"EFSpart.img.SAVE") , and see if the highlighted file was created .
P.s: what is your preference region/Country ?
Yeah, i do copy/paste the instructions because dnt want it to be more complicated and also i edited some things. I have tried these instructions as well as i also faced same problem earlier. And also galaxy toolbox would make a backup of the imei in a file..doesnt matter imei is vanished or not. Then that file must be editted using hex editor from a pc.

This is not for granted ;may or may not work as I explained in post 1 ; due to some technical reasons i would rather not engage at the moment..
Do please let me help this fellow. ( you can always jump in , if my efforts were failures though with all do respect mate).
@ehsanotaku I use CWM v5.0.2.6, I don't know wethere is it cooperVe compatible or not
I did't read your instruction because I had download CM11 from another site....I just flashed it with CWM (install zip from sd)
I use English US language.
the file /sdcard/GalaxyToolbox/"EFSpart.img.SAVE" has created (1 MB)
@ayobi93, Yes Correct CWM recovery is playing a critical role in our operation. For instance you can partially soft break your device with CWM-cooper (s5830) based recovery or using incompatible MTD-CWM-CooperVe for CM11 will generate some errors as i explains in this topic to some other fellow. You can get your legitimate Temporary CWM from the following sources : 1 ; 2 ; 3 and you can get your MTD compatible from CM11 instructions i did provide .
Now lets back to your problems at hands >> Your app generated one single empty log file without your IMEI registered inside ( corresponding line value is 0 , so we replace it with your IMEI number as "Hitesh2626" the guy behind this trick explained it ).
Write down your 15 digits number ( could be found beneath your battery ) ; copy this file into your PC; download HexWorkshop Hex Editor i did request @ post#119 ; follow the rest of instruction inside post 119 <my comment> you can also watch the video <source>, if any part of replacement was confusing for you , picture of the empty line also attached to the post .
@ehsanotaku Finalyyyyyy it works Thank you very much:good:
@Trickster22, Thank you mate for your concerns. It appears to be a trivial issue . @ayobi93,, Next step was upgrading your Base band ( U.S.A or GB, didn't get it clearly where did you get your phone though ) . At least one problem being resolved today ,, I am making progress in helping stuff i guess lol
@ehsanotaku I don't know my mobile is from where,I need English language with Arabic support, What is the next step?
After that which ROM you recommend?? I need light ROM (jellybean or higher) plz
@ayobi93, For right to left support for your preference language besides English support i would suggest Touchwiz-Resurrected ROM V2 . ( also quite compatible with your stock firmware).
For an extreme bare bone Rom with minimum services and scripts installed you may try Slim CM7 #4 . However i would recommend you study my comments and some fellow for correct installation procedures, before flashing though.
This rom is one of the best roms I think is there in this world!!!
Very easy to install and it is debloated,deknoxed,and odexed for performance. Comes with a kernel overclocker, root manager and system uninstaller. It still runs on Touchwiz UI But HEAVILY SLIMMED and runs like a charm!!! ( though most of the work has been done for you )BTW Back up all your data on a computer PLEASE Because this erases the data of your internal storage!!!
Steps to install: I will NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES OR FAILING SOFTWARE!!!
1. Download the ROM
2.Install TWRP Recovery ( Works on this only, don't know about clockworkmod )
3.Extract zip into TWRP Backup folder inside 234cea. If it is not there make a backup of your boot and go back and extract the zip into the folder.
4.Then boot into recovery click touch restore click V Custom Rom and wait for it to restore! THATS IT!!!!
Link will come later
Good Luck Comment Please!!! Also please if you can help me keep developing the ROM!!!
