Hey guys,
I'd like to use the ROM Manager and as we know therefore I need a Clockwork recovery image. My recovery menu works fine when I flash back the cm-recovery-1.4.img, but when I put on any of the last four Clockwork Recovery images (2.5.0.1, 2.5.0.0, 2.0.2.4, 2.0.2.0) it doesn't work. The Vodafone Splash screen just keeps showing and nothing happens after that
Here is what I did:
1) Attempted to install the recovery images directly via the ROM Manager
2) Attempted to install the recovery images via the terminal by typing
flash_image recovery /sdcard/clockwork-2.5.0.1.img
3) Also tried to install it several times in a row before attempting the boot into recovery via the terminal. Also changed back and forth between the CyanogenMod recovery and the clockwork one via the terminal before testing, but to no avail (read somewhere that this might help)
Here are my device specifications:
Rooted
Kernel-Version: 2.6.34-cyanogenmod
Mod-Version: CyanogenMod-5.0.8-DS
Device: SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32B SHIP S-ON G (Vodafone branded Magic)
SPL: HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
Radio: 2.22.19.26I
I am sure there is a simple solution, which I simply don't know anything about
Thanks a lot,
Sandro
Im having the exact same problem! I can't boot into recovery after updating to clockwork recovery any ideas how to fix it?
I know, this thread is kinda old, but if the clockwork app asks you for your device just choose Ion instead of HTC magic! Tadaa works
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hi everyone!
Okay, so here is my problem. I've been rooted/unlocked for a while now with TWRP recovery. I've never had a ROM on this phone yet (coming from GNex). I attempted to install Android Revolution HD. I flashed the boot.img from the thread, but forgot to 'fastboot erase cache' afterwards. Rebooted the phone, and now is stuck at HTC logo screen.
Here is what I tried:
1.) Wiped everything, flashed Android Revolution HD anyway afterwards, however after done installing, when I reboot TWRP claims I have no OS installed????
2.) Use RUU to reinstall the stock img's and then RUU, however, when I load the RUU wizard to get the rom.zip, its always corrupted and I can never open it???
I got the RUU from the RUU the thread posted in this forum by EvitaRE
At this point, I don't know what to do. Unless someone has a copy of the rom.zip.
I was also thinking of flashing another boot.img/ROM combo to see if that helps.
Is your phone an International (ENCR2B) model or North American (EVITARE) model?
Android Revolution HD is only compatible with the Global/International version of the HTC ONE X+
Hey guys!
Sorry to bother you but I'm currently facing a problem I don't know how to solve. I've flashed the latest build of cm 10.2 unofficial by johnnyslt (2508) and now the phone is stuck on the green HTC logo and won't boot. I've been using the rom since the first build (before that cm 10.1) and never had any problems (well, except the known bugs). So, can any of you give me an advice as what to do? I've tried flashing previous builds but with no result. I can access both recovery (4ext) and bootloader. Some more information: SHOOTER_U PVT SHIP S-OFF RL, HBOOT-1.49.0007, RADIO-11.25.3504.06_M, UNLOCKED bootloader.
Thank you very much for any help!
Did you try a clean install? format all partitions(except sdcard) in 4ext then flash rom and gapps. If it still doesnt boot try manually flashing boot.img from fastboot
and make sure the file is downloaded correctly (check md5 sum)
Thank you very much sir, you saved my phone's life. Just in case someone runs into the same problem, clean install didn't help at all, however extracting boot.img from the rom zip file and flashing it through fastboot did the trick.

Fix HTC EVO 4G LTE after System Wipe
I put together this short guide in order to help users fix their phones after wiping out their OS (Operating System). This guide assumes that your phone is unlocked and has a custom recovery installed on it, and that no ROM or back-up is available to install from the phone itself. Simply follow the steps below to get your phone back up and running.
1) Download a ROM to your computer.
2) Boot your phone into recovery mode. You can do this via the bootloader menu (check out my Hboot guide in my sig if you need help navigating the bootloader menu).
3) Connect your phone and computer via USB cable.
4) Select the "Mount" option in recovery. Use the checkboxes to select which storage you'd like to mount (internal or MicroSD), then hit the "Mount USB Storage" icon. Go to your computer and move the ROM to your phone. Once complete, you can unmount storage (as an alternative to this method, you can boot into the bootloader and connect via Fastboot USB mode and push a ROM from your computer to your phone's internal or external storage. Remember, you need to have a working ADB/Fastboot environment installed on your computer).
5) Do a full wipe. On the newer versions of TWRP, select "Advanced Wipe" and wipe cache, Dalvik cache, data and system. Then flash your ROM. Pay particular attention if you're S-on, as you will most likely have to install the ROM kernel separately from the ROM itself. Just check out the OP for the ROM you're installing and see what the instructions are. If you're S-off, just flash the ROM zip and reboot to system.
If you have an issue where your internal storage is corrupt and fails to mount in recovery, follow the steps above to mount your internal storage to your PC. You should be prompted to format your storage. Just follow the on-screen instructions on your PC. Keep in mind that formatting your internal storage will erase it, so it's good to have a back-up of your internal storage elsewhere.
If you need drivers for your computer, look here. Thanks CNexus for the thread. You can also install HTC Sync manager for the latest drivers.
If you need to set up ADB on your computer, this guide is easy to follow (credit to Jerry Hildenbrand at Android Central for the write-up).
An easy ROM to install if you're S-on running Hboot 1.15-2.09 is MeanBean, since it has a S-on kernel installer built in. Simply flash the Rom zip once and reboot from recovery. The phone will boot to the HTC splash screen, then back to recovery. Flash the ROM zip again, and reboot. I've included a link to MeanBean here. Thanks to MikeyXDA for this ROM. You can also run a RUU from your computer to get a OS installed on your phone.
***If you are on the new partition layout (Android 4.3 Hboot 2.10) the above method will not work. Re-run the 4.13.651.4 RUU while the phone is booted to the bootloader and your device and computer are connected via Fastboot USB. If you're S-on you will need to relock your bootloader prior to running the RUU. If you're S-off simply run the RUU. Alternatively, you can download a ROM based on the new layout and follow the steps outlined at the beginning of this guide.***
Links to all applicable RUU's for the EVO LTE can be found in the OP of my Hboot guide.
Nice thread I hope some noobs and vets of xda find this information useful

Nice write up Fin you might put a link to the tried and true MeanBean and Viper just to make it easier to find a rom that will work

Updated 10-1-2013 with a link to MeanBean ROM. Also added instructions on how to format internal storage when it fails to mount in recovery due to being corrupt (occurs sometimes when moving back and forth between AOSP & Sense, or when a factory reset from the bootloader is performed).
Updated with links to drivers & ADB set-up guide.
You might want to clarify how to do this part of step 4:
"mount whatever storage you'd like to transfer the ROM to"
Some people might not know how to do that in the newer versions of TWRP. The checkboxes seems to throw people off.
But thanks for providing this. Hopefully this will help to address a lot of the threads we've seen popping up lately.

I was trying to root and install cyanagenmod, but somehow I stupidly failed and I apprently have wiped the original OS and I don't have a backup.
I can fastboot into HBOOT-2.09.0000
and I have the TWRP 2.7.0.8
I'm stuck on step. 5 because I couldn't find instructions on installing the kernel
When I try to install CM11 or Stock ROM, it tells me
"Error: Kernel Not Installed!"
Can someone help me and suggest some possible fixes?
You're probably S-on. When you're S-on, you have to flash the kernel separately through fastboot.
Also since you're on hboot 2.09, make sure you're not flashing NPL builds, since you're on the old partition layout.

If you're S-on you have to install the kernel separately from the ROM itself. Hit the top link in my sig and scroll down to the section on S-on kernel flashing. Also, as stated above, make sure you're installing ROM's for the old partition layout, otherwise you'll have issues.

Are you using my TWRP?
Is this the only ROM you've attempted to flash? Can you post the recovery log?
Also, curious how you used Towelroot, as that's an exploit for Verizon devices that are blocked by HTC Dev
A: I didn't see a link for your TWRP so I'm using the one from twrp manager. As for towelroot, I installed it from an apk. It's reported to work across several devices and has allowed me to run root programs on this particular device as well as my S4.
I've tried several different roms, all have failed. Well except the RUU's.
Recovery log attached. Renamed as txt file for xda uploading.

Lesson: not all TWRP's are created equal
Hello everybody,
I would like to share my problem on my htc desire 601 zara_ul.
I just did the unlock bootloader / recovery / and root steps but i'm facing another issues.
I tried to install the InsertCoin from this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...om-insertcoin-3-0-6-zaraul-m7-port-5-t2819869
And sometimes the Aroma installer goes until the end successfully, and sometimes my phone just reboots half the installation.
And when it ends successfully , when i reboot, i just can't boot , i'm still stuck on the green htc logo on the white background.
Does anybody have an idea of what i'm doing wrong and how i could have a functional phone asap ? ( can't find/undersand how to restore a ruu for this phone ...)
I have no access to my sd card because i have no devices to read it.
Just tell me if you need more informations , and sorry for the form of the text, french is my native language.
Thx for the replies.
You need to flash boot.img from insertcoin rom *.zip.
Also you can mount you SD card as USB-Storage from your Recovery (if its CWM - Mount and Storage > Mount usb storage, if TWRP - Mount>Mount USB storage).
Thanks for your answer,
I tried to extract the boot.img from zip.
Then did a fastboot flash boot boot.img successfully
But when i did fastboot reboot it got stuck.
I got the same results.
I got this recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2804520

Tried to do that with the updater script but with no luck.

And philz touch says Finding update, opening update, installing update , then installation aborted.
Thx for your help by the way.
Any suggestion on what i'm doing wrong ?
