I was using the InsertCoin Rom for the Desire 601 for Virgin Mobil, and everything was fine. I don't know why I messed with my phone, but I did. I attempted to revert to stock and relock bootloader, but I don't know what I did. Right now, bootloader is unlocked, and I have twrp installed, but I am stuck on the white HTC screen that normally displays when you boot the phone, but it doesn't go any further. Can someone please tell me how to flash through ADB and which file I should use to either get fully stock again or get the IC ROM working again...
To restore a stock rom via twrp, read my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2865955
Thanks for getting back to me so quick. I looked at that thread and downloaded the file last night. It seems I might have wiped everything now because I cannot get phone to start at all. I just reflashed TWRP and got that working. How do I get the recovery into the TWRP backup folder if phone wont start? Can I do it through ADB?
U cant turn the phone on?
Nope, stuck on white HTC screen. Can get into recovery and bootloader though.
Maybe I am not using correct terminology..when I start phone, just stuck on white background with green HTC. If I hold volume down and power to turn on, it takes me to page with hboot, recovery, factory reset etc. I can get into TWRP through the recovery option this way.
U can push a file to sd card via adb then reboot to twrp and restore a stock rom. I dont know commands
Okay, do you know which file I can push? I tried your file and I keep getting an error that system cant be mounted...
put the zara_cl442 folder in the platform-tools folder then reboot to twrp and type adb devices. the output should show ur phone's serial # then type adb push zara_cl442 /sdcard/twrp/backups/phoneserial# then restore a stock rom
This is not working.. I am getting so frustrated, wish I had never messed with the stupid thing to begin with. I know before when I wiped my phone by accident, I was able to put a file on the SD card, rename it to OPE4IMG.zip and then booted the phone holding the vol down and power and the phone just reset itself. Can I do that again? If so, do you know which file I use and where to find?
What error msg do u get? 0pe4img.zip is for stock hboot. U have no os so u need to flash a rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...x-roms-mods-recoveries-backups-tools-t2804427 does ur pc have a sd card reader or do u have a usb reader?

Forget abt using adb push. Try to use adb sideload here r the instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200 put the ic rom zip in the platform-tools folder
I kept getting error that said unable to mount system. I am going to download and try the last instructions you gave me now and yes, I do have a card reader on my computer. Thanks so much for helping me through this, going nuts without my phone.
OK, I was able to install the IC Rom, using the method you suggested, but when it restarts, just stays on the white screen that shows when you normally start the phone.
On the first link you listed, there is no Rom for Zara CL. Should I use the system backup or firmware? My phone was originally JB, but upgraded to KK a few months ago.
Ok, made some progress I think. I copied the CL442.zip into backups on SD card, did restore through TWRP, and it said it was successful, but got message saying there is no system partition.
U need to unzip it and drag the zara_cl442 folder to sd card
OK, tried that and this is the message I got-"E:Size (16MB) of backup '/external_sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT3BGSD00424/2013-12-31--19-29-02/boot.emmc.win' is larger than target device '/dev/block/mmcblk0p31' (1MB)"
Move it to internal storage
How can I do that in TWRP? When I click on File Manager under Advanced, it takes me to an empty folder.. Maybe I am just retarded and missing something..my head is swimming trying to fix this damn thing.
forget that last msg, reinstalled IC rom, now its letting me copy file
I got the same message after copying to internal storage, about the file being larger than target

okay so here is the deal... i was running thunderstick my camera stopped working so i decided to restore to synergy. Once i did that through clockwork my phone never actually loaded up.
I hooking my phone up to the computer but cant do that because my phone stuck at htc white screen and dont have no pg1...zip thing on my sd card so when i go into bootloader there is nothing i can do i think.
So how can I get a ruu on my sd card so i can flash so i can fix my phone. I also tried restoring other roms that I had backed up in the past and still stuck at screen so if there is anyone that can help me i would appreciate. Thanks
If you have a usb to microSD card , you could just load the files directly on the card.
Get into recovery and flash a Rom. An ruu will cause you to lose root.
okay so I will decide to try both ideas. thanks guys
you can flash a rooted ruu here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29644922/Thunderbolt/Stock Rooted RUU/PG05IMG_stock.zip
now you have root.. i suspect your problem may be the last clockwork recovery 5.0.1.0 everytime i do a restore from it i have the same problem.
Same thing happening to me right now... DAMN IT....
plug in with USB,
at command prompt or from run
run this command
adb reboot bootloader
get in to recovery and mount your USB Storage
copy any RUU you like and reboot to recovery.
I'm pretty sure you can mount the SD-card to your computer in clockwork recovery too.

Which version of the phone do you have? Sounds like the INTL one to me. You can still follow my tut here to get your rom and gapp's on your phone to flash.
Good luck
Maybe a silly question, but, do you have the windows drivers installed for the phone?

Thank you for the quick reply.
I managed to make it work.
Basically it seems like the phone takes time to get recognised by my system, is this normal?
After mounting the usb storage from recover and plugging the usb, when I used adb push, it says device not found.
After a minute, I used the command line again and it worked.
I pushed both the rom and gapps.zip file and installled them and now it's working.
My question now is: I had apps, messages,calls and contacts - is it possible to get them from the backup as well as keep this rom that I've just installed?
PS : is not connecting to the wifi, stating that there are authentication problem, is this normal?
Thank you
Can someone tell me if the wifi connection is an issue with this phone when intalling the rom mentioned earlier.
I had apps and other stuff on my phone, I can still see their respective folders, can I restore my apps back?
ps: I made a full backup of my official rom, I wanted to restore it back and this is what I've done:
Wiped system,dalvik,cache and factory
then restored all three partitions of my backup.
It turns on but it keeps hanging on the htc one logo
what can I do in this case?
Thank you

I could be completely wrong but you might have to flashed the boot.img from your backup? did you flash a boot.img from a custom rom? TWRP won't flash boot.img properly so it has to be done in the bootloader.
Hope this sheds some light on your issue
Cheers!
When we make the backup, TWRP doesn't create a boot image file,at least not explicitly.
The file with the name "boot" have md5 and win extension.
I thought the same thing, that probably I need to flash the boot.image file as I did flash a custom boot before installing cm10.
So where is the boot.img file for my stock? how can I extract it?
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:

Just got back into ROMs again, but made a few mistakes.
I was attempting to install Cyanogenmod
Got the Boot.img file to work, however I realized I didn't add the files to install the ROM, into the SD folder.
(Went into the "install" option on TWRP, but there are no files to install at all)
Now my phone just boots up to the splash logo, and stays there. Any way to fix it?
Note: Already tried RUU, I get the version error like everyone else. I don't know what else to do.

Create a folder "0" on the sd card and put the file in there. You can also side load in recovery it just takes forever to transfer the ROM.

Thank you for the side load recovery. That managed to work, however I encountered another problem.
I am now stuck on the cyanogen 10.1.3 screen, same deal as before.
I've tried everything to solve this:
Deleted cache, factory reset
Made sure I had correct kernal
Etc.
Please, really need to use my phone. Thank you for the help.
Extract the kernel (boot.img) from the ROM file and flash it from your pc using fastboot. Rom doesn't boot is typically due to wrong kernel, maybe it failed to flash from recovery. You are s-off, correct?
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!!!
