cant install 6.1

So i had 6.1 but it kept freezing, so I went back to 6.0, and was going to install 6.1 again...and now the screen goes to three colors, and then the installer box says "the image file was corrupted, please check your update utility"
and i dont know what to.
any help?
please and thank you.

First of all you the Kavana's & Rickwyatt's works on T-Mobile Dash, HTC S620 & S621 and you have to make sure your phone is unlock (use SDA Application unlock) to do it.
Try to use on these Upgrades, I recommend you Kavana's 6.1 cuz is easier to install with the (.exe) file but If you want T-mobile MyFaves the Rick's version came with it, Rick is a little more complicated for a lot of files included in the installation package but If you run (install.bat) and follow the steps. And Follow the instructions.
Kavana's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374890
Rick's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397845
Good Luck
Adavid

By the way, if the Phone got frozen remove the battery...I got T-mobile DASH and I have install both and work's good, the problems with Rick's the open applications close automatically if you don't use it.
Good luck again

Rick's 6.1
When you unzip Rick's package you have:
USPL <folder>
Auto
EnterBootloader
rapidtool
ROMUpdateUtility
.
.
.
Just click on Auto and follow the steps.

The correct distro you need is dashuntu, wow and i thought you knew it all
Can't remember off the top of my head what ubuntu is translated into? Something about tree huggers, so now we can be Dash huggers

yes i have.

Glad you got it sorted.
On computer go Start\Control Panel\Automatic Updates and you can turn them off.

Turn off that Microsoft update B.S.

Invalid Tool Error

So..my phone is rather useless at the moment. Won't load the rom after freezing up while i slept last night. I go into bootloader and try to reflash but get the error "Invalid update tool" and it says something about a newer version. Has anyone had this error or know how to fix it? I am in desperate need of assistance here. Thank you for all replies in advance.
Edit: The exact error is as follows
Code:
ERROR[300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility.
I was running Kavana cooked rom 6.1.
I have tried to reflash with atleast 5 different roms and they all present this error.

Just checking, but did you try the default ROM for your device? If it is a T-mobile Dash, you will want to use one the the Tmobile stock ROM's first.

I know this might be a stupid question of me but, did you do a hard reset?
Why would you make another thread regarding issues with your phone, when you already have a thread going about problems with your phone?
Please post accordingly You should've posted this other issue on your previous thread, rather than making a new one! Can you imagine if everyone would make a thread for every little issue with their phone?

It won't hard reset. I made a new topic because this is a completely different problem. I apologize if it was not necessary.

Bump.
Any ideas at all?

Ah yes.
My bomb didn't detonate until some time Wed/Thu night. 6am Thu morning I had to be at my local Polling Station where I was to be the 'Presiding Officer'.
Bad, bad timing.
Still, I managed a hard reset without the SD card in, (this took a few attempts), and having basic phone function, off I went to do my bit for European Democracy - honestly, the whole thing would be chaos without me ...
Anyway, I digress. I do that quite a lot. There was this one time ...
... I didn't get 'round to trying to sort it all out until Sat afternoon, (the phone, not the European Parliament), and as I have flashed this phone to buggery and beyond I expected it to take little time.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
I downloaded the latest version of the Energy ROM, (love it, love it, love it), ran the .bat file and; error 270.
I sparked up the bootloader and, of course, no connected device meant no update. I tried various 'stock' ROMs and got the same error you describe.
In UK, my provider is BT and there is no image link in the stickies, (I have finally found one, I will send a Mod a link), and tracking a full basic .exe image proved really difficult.
However, once found, all my problems evaporated.
So, find an executable basic ROM image from the phones' original provider, fire up the bootloader, run the .exe and a few minutes later you will be able to reflash.
Honest.
I believe you can also load the image as a .cab file onto the SD card and install from there but I didn't have to investigate this so can't promise anything. Sorry.
The ROM image is the key.
Once the bomb detonates, hard reset etc seems to become a bit flakey - keep trying.
I'm rambling again, aren't I?
Another beer I think ...
** Edit **
Yes, of course the BT ROM is now working.
Now I don't need it.
Ah well.

[Q] Root help:"Main version older"

Hey ive been trying to root my evo all day it is on version 2.1-update1. I was able to root my brothers perfectly fine using the downloads and tutorial from the idiot-proof guide to rooting by thebiles. But on mine I get stuck right at the beginning, when i try to flash the PC36IMG my bootloader says main version older. I feel like ive tried everything if anyone can help I'd reallly appreciate it thanks.

Try simple root, and keep trying. I got that same error even with simple root on my buddies 3 times before it worked. Don't know why. Maybe try copying the pc36img to the sd card instead of letting simple root push it...gl!

I agree with the simple root approach. Not trying to highjack your post but I have a question back at you if I may. You say you have one root EVO and one not root? If so the the root has PRI 1.34 and the nonroot 1.40? Could you perhaps do a data speed comparison on these and post the results? I am real curious...

sorry man i saw your post like 2 minutes too late the simpleroot worked right before i refreshed this page thanks for the help though guys appreciate it

one more quick question while PC36IMG was flashing the 2nd "tp" file said bypassed next to it rather than OK like all the others and the first tp had a blank next to it...is this a problem i should look into before unlocking the nand and all that other good stuff?

No problem glad you got it working. This was kinda like going to the casino...getting up to go to the bathroom...coming back to see someone hit the jackpot on your machine....hahaha!!!

That is normal....mine did that.

thanks man appreciate it...one more question for anyone that can help, im using the idiot proof guide and im on step 56 but when i try to enter the adb shell i get an error from command prompt saying "error: more than one device and emulator" i entered the shell perfectly fine like 2 steps before that and used it to flash the new pc36img rom but now i get this error to enter shell again how do i fix this error?

Okay I came here thinking this might finally be it... but nope I tried all the solutions mentioned here but to no avail. I am frustrated and still getting the main version is older. Does anyone know what is causing this error. Please I'm using usb debugging I wiped and backed my SD and have ota that came out in June. I installed Microsoft net frame and htc drivers. I updated simple root and the update log said this was to fix the error but still getting the same error. Any suggestions

I have the same issue, pretty much have tried everything with no luck, kind bummed at the moment, hope someone can help
Thanks

I got to work FINALLY!!!!!
So finally i got the main version error older NO MORE. So i decided to share what i did in hopes that it will work for all of you frustrated out there.
1) Download simple root from xda forum, dont download it anywhere else. The first time i tried i downloaded it at another android forum and even though it may seem the same, this version for some reason was not pushing the files as it suppose to. So again download from forum. Search for it on XDA.
2) Be patient and prepare yourself.
3) Make sure you on the 147 ota version. Not froyo. or before any version before ota because you can use old simple root.
4) After you download it extract it to a folder. Choose whatever location suits you i like desktop so i can delete file after i use it and keep zip. Be sure to update the program. Open it and let it search for downlaod or go to root folder and search for the updater.
5) Before running the program check the obvious. Is usb debugging enable, Do i have microsoft netframe, Are my phone drivers correct. Is the usb cable correctly connected to my computer and phone. Did i choose charge only when connected to the computer.
6) Now on your phone, and this step did it for me, go to Settings>SDandPhoneStorage>FactoryDataReset. Brace yourself this will wipe data it will not change your version. But if you want do a backup the folder of your contacts and whatever you have in your SD card, this is the time to do so. Mount as disk drive, and remember to change back to CHARGE ONLY. I skipped this because rooting was more important than my girlfriends phone number.
7) Now youre noobiness is ready connect phone double check Step 5. In case you missed something.
8) Run the simple root downloaded from XDA forum. Wait for it to push files is wont take long but me patient. Think of it passing 180mb to sd card so it takes some time.
9) Phone will reboot in a screen with skating androids Push power button and WAIT. It will find file and you shouldnt be getting "main version older" reboot error you where getting if you paid close attention to detail. Now update push volume up.
10) Why so impatient wait for it to update files. Once its down just push volume up for reboot. First time it reboots after root or when u flash a rom it usually takes longer, enough to get u nervous but dont be WAIT.
11) Easy sailing now but youre not done yet. Hit recovery once your phone reboot. Choose the method you want i chose Clockwork it works just fine for flashing roms.
12) Congrats your fully root and can flash that cool rom youve been reading about. Suggestions: DamageControl or Cyanogen but go ahead and try whichever you like.
13) YOURE DONE WOOF
If for some reason, it happened to me with AvaFroyo, when you flash your rom it goes on a loop and keeps rebooting dont panic that is what the recovery is for just put your microSD on a card reader delete the rom that is giving you problem and place another one and Reflash. Read how to flash rom you have to wipe on Recovery menu everytime you flash a different rom.
I hope this helps...Its in plain english not Dev English so...

Firstly "someone help me!!" is not a proper topic title. People browsing forum will not know what your forum topic is about a glance as your title is not descriptive so you will likely get far less topic views as it will just be bypassed and ignored.
You also need to give more relevant information. What happens or what does it say when you try and use the restore function in TWRP?

I click yes....but I think nothin happenend ....because appear every time...
Thank for your help.

Just flash the Original 4.4 you got and you're good to go. But I think you should have to use Windows PC, NOT under Virtual Machine. Install necessary drivers and try to flash the Original 4.4 rom you downloaded.

"Simple" Lineage os install guide

Here used to be a bad guide please don't follow it I learned that people where rightfully pissed at me and I have decided to replace it with this Im gonna flash lineage again and document my exact procedure and try to make a better guide than the garbage I posted here.

error : can't load losq-v
hey man,
Thanks for the effort but I only got one problem that whenever I enter this command "fastboot flash system losq-v lineage.img" I get the error saying "can't load losq-v" so what should I do.
Thanks in advance

Click to collapse
The reason is losq-v is the start of the filename pretty sure you can just press tab and it will autocomplete so the command would be "fastboot flash system losq-v"(after losq-v type rest of your filename or press tab to autocomplete (do not add a space in between losq-v and rest of filename))
Sry for forgetting that I did it like that to future proof the guide

Posting "tutorials" in XDA is something else than copy and paste things you expect to work but never tested yourself.
Two persons get in trouble by the crap you copy and pasted here, and instead of take responsibility when things go bad, the only crap you can say is: ask THE GUYS in telegram rofl
What age are you? 12?
I hope no one follow this crappy " tutorial" here...

Odin Recovery Fails
I go step by step but when I hit start on Odin to flash recovery I get two error messages
1. one in Odin in the log section with the following message "failed (auth)"
2. the other on the phone in the download mode in red something along the lines "you can only install official binaries"
I searched the forums and found a few suggestions, turning on USB debugging, applying magisk patches etc.... I never saw anyone confirming any method that would have worked. Whatever I tried to do it either didn't work or I couldn't do it because of lack of skills or it wasn't possible. For example when I tried to use magisk in the descriptions I had install buttons in the manger but I'm missing these on my phone so I suspect that recovery is required first to make those patches or there's something that I don't know how to do it. Either way following the instructions doesn't work for me and I tried a bunch of things and none worked. Different versions of Odin 3.14.1, 3.14.4. If anyone has any idea please help. I reset the whole phone to factory hoping it would help, there's no data on it right now but I still get the same error.
Thanks

To back to original Android:
-Odindownload.com last Odin
- https://github.com/ivanmeler/SamFirm_Reborn/releases download samfirm reborn and use it to get latest original Samsung firmware
Unzip it with 7-ZIP !!!!!! www.7-zip.org
On the Odin website there is a YouTube video how to proceed. But do NOT use any PIT file you find somewhere like the vid shows in example, you will almost for sure brick it if you don't know exact exactly what you r doing! Be warned!
After unzipping you see files beginning with AP BL CP CSC , put them in Odin where they should be.
Under options ONLY mark AutoReboot and F reset time and nothing else.
I hope you get your phone back to working state with this, remember you will not be able to get updates OTA any more since you broke the Efuse.
From there on if I were you I only would root the phone and wait till official TWRP is out, or hopefully some day an official LineageOS.
So far nothing official means lack of maintanance after a while, no updates, bugs, bad assistance and more crap, just like this thread is written by someone who gathered info from just here and there and made this "tutorial" with copy and paste and added b.s. for trying to become a star on Telegram-ish group and look populair there.
Just Root it, debloat it and live with it.

Thanks andreoide for your honest answer :good:
My phone's working, I didn't get far with it, never broke it, just unlocked it. I guess the installation failed during the validation before actually doing any physical changes because my Samsung stock system still runs. The phone is given to me by my company. I just took out the sim card and put it in my private dual-sim phone. So this phone is on the shelf, it's been there for the last few months. I wish I could use it it's higher end than my personal but can't deal with Samsung stock system. I had two phones with lineage (and whatever the name was before) and loved it so I'm hoping I can use it again.
Anyway, it was just explaining my situation, I guess I'll be checking this forum and hoping for more positive news. Meanwhile the phone goes back on the shelf and waits for better times, thanks again for straitening things up for me. :good:
