Hey guys,
I downloaded the latest radio for Desire, I tried to flash it via cwm recovery, but for some reason I can't
How I did it:
1. Download radio zip and place in root of sd
2. Boot into recovery
3. Apply zip from sd, choose zip (toggled verification)
4. Selected the latest radio.zip and clicked yes
What happens after that is :
A message appears and disappears quickly and the screen comes back to cwm recovery's home screen.
Phone boots fine, but radio version is still unchanged.
Htc Desire, S-On, stock hboot 0.93.
Rom: RCMix S v1.3 A2SD+
Could someone post a link to the latest radio along with the MD5 sum, or have any clue what the issue could be here.
Thanks
Jackie

You can flash it with the rom manager app too.
I think it's easier and faster. In the rom manager use Install Rom from Sd and choose the radio file. Then your desire reboot and install it automatically.

Do I select "install rom from sd card" to flash the radio?
Also just to be extra sure, I'd appreciate the confirmed md5 sum of the latest radio.
Thanks

Yes, you select "Apply .zip from SD Card" Not the update.zip.
Yes you're right. Rom manager reboot into the recovery and install the radio.

anyone ? link me to the latest radio along with the MD5 sum please !
EDIT scratch that - found it, apparently the zip I had wasn't a flashable one :/ !
do u have S-OFF if so use this tool
android flasher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638
download the radio u need and unzip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
load android flasher up tick radio and select begin and find ur downloaded radio and select ok and leave ur device alone do not touch whilst it is flashing
it will reboot ur device into fastboot and on the right side show a bar like it loading once it done it will reboot and load the device
ps u need to have custom driver install heres the link http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.p...driver_install
hope this helps ps i take no responcability if u brick ur device
i have same problem.
As far as I know, it's not possible to flash the radio with 3.0.x.x yet. Downgrade to 2.5.0.7, install radio.zip, update again - or just use the Android Flasher 1.7.5 - works like a charm.
Hope it helps!

Thanks for that, I'll keep that saved some where, I was able to get it to work with another .zip, turns out the previous file wasn't flashable.

Are you sure the radio.zip is a flashable one?
Open archive using any program that handles .zip, and you should find a meta inf folder and radio.img, if these both are present you have a flashable radio

You need to give a little bit more info.
What ROM did you use?
Have you got out of the bootloader and will the phone restart with the ROM that is already installed?

i used a normal HTC Marvel European rom that ihave been using a lot.
i installed numerous times when any other rom did not work on my phone .
now my phone has no rom i think........(as the new dotsense rom does not work)
in the white boot loader screen, it does not scan for any file such as PG76IMG.zip and stays as it is.
P.S. my phone came S-OFF if that is necessary
Try flashing original HTC ruu from the sticky titled 'shipped roms'
Flashing is done through your PC, you might have better luck that way.

you're saying you flashed roms = you have custom recovery !
so here is what you will do , get the ORIGINAL sdcard , mount it to PC through the custom recovery > mounts and storage , copy the desired PG76IMG.zip to the sd , reboot to bootloader and see if it asks for it ... please press the thanks button if it worked !

Double Click the file to open the RUU.
Wait a short while and follow the onscreen instruction.

My DINC is latest Gingerbread 2.3.4.
I'm trying to get rid of the awful 'low memory' problems that I'm having on a daily basis.
I'm following this XDA guide
[HOW TO] Fix the "Low on space" problem (in plain English)
The PC drivers got installed fine.
But when I run unrevoked 3.22 it gets stuck on 'Rebooting into recovery'. At that point the phone shows the screen: ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 (the screen has 9 selectable options in blue text). I can select the first option 'reboot system now' and the phone seems untouched. I've tried it a few times but keep running into the same problem.
Any ideas??
If you're in Recovery (oh that sounds so rude lol) press the optical button to select options. The power button functions as the back button while in recovery.

Trying to be delicate you're done! you now can download this file from androidsu (removed for it being junk) and then put it on to your SD card and flash it by going to install zip from SD and then find this file and say yes to flash. It will flash the superuser binary and the application effectively rooting your phone. you may also want to flash the s-off tool from unrevoked called unrevoked forever from here to give you the ability to flash alternate radios or splash screens or whatever you decide to!

I'm done? Sorry but I'm a bit confused - The instructions say in the last step:
-Once it's done, unplug your phone and ensure that a "Superuser Permissions" application is inside your app drawer.
Shouldn't I be seeing a new app named 'superuser permissions'? Since there's no app with that name I assumed unrevoked did not complete it's process.
Can I somehow verify that unrevoked was successful?
The fact that it has flashed clockwork is success enough, I know you want to be thorough but I have done this with my own phone as well as a friend's with perfect success of rooting the phone. My Inc now runs ics with perfect ease after completing the process you have. And trust me, the hardest part is behind you. If you download the files I cited above then you will flash them both using your new recovery then you will be set to do endless nods to your phone. My advice though before flashing anything to your phone is to check the Md5 carefully to male sure you don't flash corrupted files to your phone

u can verify by going to google play and download root checker or download whatever app that need root to function.
as for superuser app, sometimes that app just didn't show, in order for it to show is you have to manually flash it in clockworkmod recovery, just like nschiwy say. its actually fine to do that so don't be worried , as a precaution cek the MD5 to make sure you dont flash a bad zip file.

For some reason your md5 number doesn't match with the md5 I downloaded of either the 3.1.3 zip mentioned in this thread, or the 3.0.7 zip you mention.
Can you provide a link to the md5 info?

here's the link http://goo.im/superuser/
I have a bad situation here - my DINC is now stuck rebooting over and over into the white startup screen.
Here's what I did -
I copied to my SD card the 3.1.3 zip file that nschiwy linked in his post. Then I did this:
6.) Power down, then go back to hboot. Use the volume keys to select "Recovery", press power button to select and enter Clockwork. Now select "Install zip from SD card", then "Choose zip from SD card", then navigate to the Superuser zip you placed on the card in step 3. Select and load it. (NOTE: For those that don't typically load zips directly in CWM, use the trackpad button to make selections in CWM, the power button brings you back one menu.)
All this went fine. I used the Recovery command 'power off'. But then when I powered up it now is stuck in reboot. I did flash again from the zip file on the SD card, but same problem.
I see the troubleshooting tips posted here (I will copy it below). Pulling the battery didn't help. And I can't seem to reflash from the unrevoked app because my DINC just keeps boot-cycling...
What shoudl I do??
My phone keeps rebooting over and over and I can't do anything!
Pull out the battery, wait for 15 seconds, and put it back in and turn the phone back on. If it still keeps rebooting, pull out/re-insert the battery again, go into hboot (see above answer) and try the following steps. You can stop as soon as one of them works!
1. Restore a backup that you made in a previous step (if you have one).
2. Reflash the .img file from Step #8.
3. Flash the .img file here: http://dinc.does-it.net/wildstang83_...2_11232011.zip (note: this one will take you back to stock, so you'll have to start the guide over).

as far as my understanding of those words, i think its like this :
1. skip cause u dont have 1
2. reflash clockwordmod but since ur phone keep bootloop, i think u gotta flash it in HBOOT.
3. reflash rom by going into clockworkmod recovery and install zip from sdcard.
again cmiiw.
btw can u go to clockworkmod recovery via recovery in HBOOT menu? if u can i think u can skip no 1 and 2 and just go install zip from sdcard in clockworkmod recovery menu.
but idk if its save to do that.

I used a file called "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar"
Everything goes well and I get a green pass from oden3, the phone reboots. But superSU is not installed and when I check "Root checker" there is no root....
I have 4.1.2
Thoughts?
Just download superuser and simply place it on your phones SD card it's really easy

Your phone is not finishing the process it seems. After Odin says pass do you get a big red Android on the screen? If not flash the cf auto root file but uncheck auto reboot in Odin first. Then when it finishes, pull the cable and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and manually boot to recovery by holding volume up+home+power and it should finish installing root.
I don't know what the post above me is taking about. Installing superuser isn't going to magically give you root. js

You want to press install then hit "up a level" until youre in the root "/" directory. Then choose "external_sdcard" then tap "root.zip" and swipe to confirm at the bottom.

It's basically the same thing. Cf auto root will install a special recovery made by chainfire and a cache.img with a root zip. It's supposed to flash that zip then restore stock recovery. I've never seen cf auto root fail to do the job so im not sure what went wrong.
But the way you did it was you installed your own custom recovery and manually flashed a root zip created by me instead. Only thing different here is that you still have that custom recovery instead of stock recovery now.

Got it man, is this custom recovery better than the stock or is it essentially the same? I plan to install a custom rom soon.

The custom recovery is the same with the exception that it gives you additional privileges over stock recovery. Like installing custom roms, so if you're planning on a custom rom soon then you may as well just stick with the custom one. I do however recommend you download goo manager from the playstore and updating your recovery to the newest with it before trying to flash anything. The recovery I gave you may be a little outdated. And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

Just open it. Hit Menu then tap "install openrecoveryscript" Then "Yes". Then "Yes" again. It'll download the latest TWRP and flash it automatically.
Edit:sorry had to reread that. Twrp 2620 is right

about to install moar rom. I saw a video saying you should wipe dalvic cache and do several other things before.
Is there anything you reccomend I do before I flash this custom rom (Moar)

Personally I think the chances of your efs going bad are slim and a backup is more for paranoid people. With that said it never hurts to back it up. I just wouldn't restore it unless you have to.

i guess what you're seeing is not a full recovery but a prerecovery test menu, the same as for me. The cwm is there, i am able to acces it through android with restart to recovery function.

Hello guys
Well i have just received my phone yesterday and im back on the modding part.
Sooo happy that there are people out there already developing for this phone.
Problem is, i downloaded the recovery, from both links, tried to flash it with mobiluncle tools, it took 2 seconds, maybe its to fast and its not really flashing??
rebooted to recovery and i can only see 2 lenovo logos overlapping and in the lower screen text saying Recovery mode.
It hangs a few seconds and then reboots normally. but no recovery.
Then tried to flash with flashtool. same story.
i could never access the original recovery anyway, it just said no command.
all information on the phone or other apps says unknown recovery, is this normal when its a stock recovery?
Any other ideas? need help, this phone is awesome so far, except for the internal memory, its too small and i have all of the phone memory doing nothing, i have my sd card, but i wanted to mod it in the first place to make the internal memory partition bigger.
Anyway this is not the thread to talk bout that, but any help with flashing this recovery?
Much appreciated.

hi.. if the recovery file name to long just replace it as recovery.img.. make sure ur mobileuncle grant root. it should be fine.. as many user can flash it..
there is 2 model out there.. A850p and a850i.. make sure its a850p because its not for a850i.
Works
