After having WM5 for so long i deceided to take the plunge and flash my Vario 2 with the T-mobile WM6 on their downloads site.
The flash went fine and the Rom works quite good BUT i noticed that on the Device Information Screen it doen't tell me anything. ROM Version, ROM Date, Radio Version and Protocol Version nothing there. Hardware tab Gives me a load of squares and numbers. Identity Tab no imei number or model number and the call duration tab has nothing on it.
Can anyone help?
Can anyone help?
Thats fairly strange behavior. Have you tried a hard reset? Maybe something just didn't transfer correctly. What Rom did you flash exactly?
Try re downloading and flashing again. Maybe the DL was corrupted.
Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried a hard reset yet but i will try it later tonight. The ROM i'm using is from here http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/
As far i could see the flash went o.k. I'll try reflashing as well if the hard reset doesn't work.
Do you have HardSPL v 7 on you phone? If so you should upgrade the OS & radio only as a general rule.
If you have the factory Boot Loader & IPL then flash per the MFG's instructions.
You can extract the OS & Radio from the Factory ROM using the NBH tool you can get on this forum.
Thaks for the replies. I got it working. I just uninstalled everything and then put it back on. I think it was either to do with one of the htc album cabs or htc home cabs that i installed.
hey,
i flashed a couple of roms from this site. before i flashed the newes hard spl according to the guide from the wiki. also i checked it hard spl installed succesfully, according to bootloader it did.
i am having problems with every rom here: the phone freezes all the time without any reason. nothing works, so i sot reset. then the phone starts new but does a hard reset on its own.
what can i do?

install a stock rom, install hard spl if needed and you should be good to go, the wiki section for the hermes has a list of stock roms.
but i would like to use a manilla rom...
after you install a stock rom and hard spl it... you can install a manila rom..
1) HardSPL your phone
2) Flash a OEM rom, use the AT&T stripped from my my 4hsared
3) Flash the cooked rom you want
If you want to flash a new cooked rom
1) Flash the OEM rom
2)Flash the cooked rom.
This stops random hard resets
where i can get the stock rom?
mind to give me the link to dl....
flash the oem rom mean the original rom is it?
yes the oem rom is the original rom
use this rom from veyka
DISCLAIMER: I'm completely lost, so please break things down into bite-size steps or at least expect some follow-up questions on my part. I'm one of those desperate guys who is attempting to just have a working phone tomorrow. Any help will get as many presses of the thank button as I can possible give.
After several hours of plodding and poking and searching I've managed to do some possibly irreparable damage to my htc one v. Whenever I try to boot the phone it starts up with the htc developer red text "development use only" etc etc. I can access the bootloader and recovery thankfully, so I guess there's hope.
I think the source of my troubles is what's addressed by the essential reading at the top of this sub-forum, ie distinguishing between GSM and CDMA. I think (and this is an assumption here) that despite being in the USA on virgin, the fact that I can shove a sd-card in there means it's GSM (correct me if I'm wrong. please). EDIT: It seems that the phone only works with the CDMA version of TWRP, so I guess that might be an indicator.
Info: htc one v, virgin USA, using TWRP 2.3.3.0, attempted to flash Rom using various versions of Paranoid Android
What I've done thus far:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Flashed recovery
2.5. Created backup
3. rooted device (I downloaded rootchecker or somesuch app and was able to confirm that I had rooted my device)
4. Wiped cache and dalvik cache (I think that's what it's called).
5. Attempted to do a factory reset (failed).
6. Attempted to flash ROM (failed)
7. Restarted Device (got stuck on dev screen for the first time).
8. Tried recovering using backup created earlier (which just booted me into the dev screen of doom again).
9. Tried partitioning sd card in an attempt to perform a factory reset (wiped everything including backup).
10. Factory Reset failed with a message about not being able to mount /sd-ext.
11. Tried flashing rom again with different version of PA for shiggles (it worked! oh frabjous day!)
12. Rebooted phone only to get stuck on the dev screen again.

I've been at this for nigh on 7 hours and all I have to show for it is a phone I can't use. Help.
Let's try this in order: if you are with Virgin Mobile, it is a CDMA. GSM phones take a sim card, both versions accept an sd card for storage.
Everything looks good until:
#5 The failed warning is due to lack of a SD EXT partition on your sd card. If you didn't re-partition it, you will get that failed warning. No big deal as it is wiping everything else correctly.
#6 You also need to wipe system prior to flashing your new rom.
After flash your new rom, you will need to connect to your pc and boot into bootloader. Make sure it says "Fastboot USB" at the top your phone screen. You have to flash the boot.img for the specific rom you are trying to install. See the rom thread for the correct method.
Check your radio and Hboot version in bootloader. If you have the newer radio (xxx.xxx.928) and Hboot (1.57), you are limited on the roms that will actually work. Check the CDMA development thread for roms that specify OTA compatible.
Good luck. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Which ROM you have flashed?
Did you install boot.IMG according to your ROM?
Sent from my HTC T320e
If you're restoring "stock" sense 4.0 ROM, you need to flash a kernel that will work with it. Try Titanium-KISS or Stock. The stock one should have been kernel should have been backed up, it's labeled boot.IMG in the backup folder. EDIT: Since you are CDMA, you need to flash this kernel in Fastboot to get it to boot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024758. Be sure you flashed the CDMA ParanoidAndroid as well, and not the GSM one.
followup
FIRST: Just thought of something that might be very important, I only had a version of android 4.0 installed on my phone. Will that make a difference when installing roms intended for later versions of android? If so, I feel like a huge knuckle-dragging fool.
Update: Was able to install and boot using PACman, but ran into a boot-loop.
But to follow up to your questions:

I'll admit I've had a hard time find a definitive version of PA or really any other Rom. I've tried going through their thread here and downloading one of the "stables" (http://goo.im/devs/gannon5197/paranoid/primoc/stables/). I've also used other unofficial versions of PA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799372). I'm currently downloading PACman to see if that will make any difference.

I did flash my boot.img using the method explained here:
Copy the kernel image (boot.img file you have extracted from zip file of ROM) to folder in which you have kept your fastboot files.
In the same folder, right click while holding shift button and select ‘Open command window here’.
A command window will appear on your screen. In command window type ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’ and press enter.
On your screen you will get message ’OKAY/Finished’. You have successfully flashed kernel. Now you can disconnect your phone from computer.

I'd like to think I'd partitioned it properly, but I keep getting a "unable to mount sd-ext" or "unable to wipe sd-ext" message when I attempt a factory reset. I've tried formatting the the mini sd and set the file type to FAT32, but to no avail as the errors persist. I know you said not to be too concerned, but I keep failing the system wipe from your next suggestion because of that error.
#6 You also need to wipe system prior to flashing your new rom.

Now how important is it that I flash the boot.img after I have flashed the rom? I've been doing it beforehand, but does doing it afterward make a difference?
Check your radio and Hboot version in bootloader. If you have the newer radio (xxx.xxx.928) and Hboot (1.57), you are limited on the roms that will actually work. Check the CDMA development thread for roms that specify OTA compatible.

Those both match my radio and bootloader, what does that imply? I'm planning on flashing this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948034
Will that work?
No, it won't. You have the newer updated hboot and radio. That is the source of your boot loops. The only compatible roms at this time are MyOneV, ExtremeSemse, and RhythmicRom. You can also use Cyanprimo, but you'll have flash the boot.img from RhythmicRom.
Now I've downloaded RythmicRom and I'm still stuck in a boot loop. I'm sorry for being a bit thick, but could you link some roms that would be compatible or explain what I need to be looking for?
Version I downloaded: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147407
You'll need to download the 1.2 update, then extract the boot.img from that. The boot.img in the Rom doesn't work with the new update.
So I've been reading up on the issue over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018518&page=14
and while I don't claim to understand it all, I believe I get the gist of it.
I also've managed to get RythmicRom working thanks to riggerman. I guess I'll just play the waiting game until someone rolls out a fix or just replace my phone (though that's very much in the long-run).
Once again, thanks to everyone and hopefully this will be the last we see of this mess.
Glad you got it running, and glad I could help.
Hey sorry if this has been answered already (couldn't find it though) and for being stupid. I am new to android rooting and modifications. I rooted my HTC One M8 with no issue during the rooting process. I went to install the xposed framework, which soft bricked my phone making me factory reset. When the setup had finished and I'd restored my HTC backup i went to download a file from themes but the download was unsuccessful. I messed about with a few things in TWRP recovery cant remember exactly what all i know is all i touched was fix permissions, the "wipe" options and cache clearing. Reset the phone this way and the phone started up, but straight after the htc one logo screen, i get a black screen with "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped working". I've heard other people having this problem with the setup wizard stopped working but they always seem to get through at least a few steps of the wizard. Oh and my nandroid backup was on a memory stick i accidentally used for my windows recovery media so whence is gone (i have two of the same memory sticks btw). I ve tried using the official HTC ruu exe, the rom.zip inside it and the TWRP nandroid backup from this site but everytime it fails. Managed to flash android revolution hd rom, but now system ui stops so i have no navigation or status bar... Doesn't matter did a data format from recovery and now its fine apologies for any bother

Hard to know what you did wrong (or how to help) based on lack of facts.
What CID and MID? What hboot number? Main version? S-on or s-off? Posting output of adb getvar all (delete IMEI and serial numbers, as these are private info) is the easiest way to give this info.
RUU failing is usually due to wrong RUU for your CID, MID or unlocked bootloader (with s-on) although it can simply be a USB connectivity issues. Giving the specific error message would be very helpful to determine the reason for RUU failure.
As for the TWRP nandroid, we need to know which one you tried to restore, and the mode of failure (where it fails, any error messages, etc.).
Hey guys,
can somebody help me to go back to the original firmware of the Galaxy Y?
I have model number GT-5363 (German 02 version, but same hardware as the normal GT-5360).
I tried to flash Lineage 9 and CM9, but it didn´t work, because I couldn´t install TWRP or the Custom Roms because of "wrong model number".
I asked afaneh92 and he told me to change the updater-script, which I did. Now I was able to install TWRP and the ROMs, but both Custom ROMs don´t go further than the bootscreen. One time I reached the Lockscreen with Lineage, but the phone seemed to be frozen then.
Since I still want to use my phone, I want to go back to Stock Rom or another (working) Custom Rom.
By the way: I wasn´t able to restore my backup with Clockworkmod 5.0.2.8. It seems to be a well known bug in this version.
Can somebody please help?
