[Q] Loop on Cyanogen logo (blue) after CM 6.1.1 update

Hello
I have a HTC Desire (gsm).
Already rooted, with Cyanomod Gen 6.0.1
I upgrade using Rom Manager application, to CM 6.1.1 + Google Apps.
Download CM 6.1.1 and install seem normal.
But after reboot, when the HTC white screen change to Cyanogen Blue logo, after some time the blue logo start again
Impossible to boot ! My HTC Desire loops on CM logo...
I remove battery, try to reboot on recovery (holding the "down" key when Power on).
I have the menu.
When I select "recovery", after some second, the screen go black with a HTC picture and a /!\ RED !
It seem I'm blocked.
How to put a rom on SD-card, and reboot to install this Rom ?
I download CM 6.1.1, try to put it as "updade.zip" on the SD-card, but I don't know how to install it ...
Thanks for your help.

You need to get a custom recovery. You can use either ClockworkMod or Amon. You need to flash it through fastboot (I think) or you can do it through recovery. Command is something like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
I am not sure though so you might want to check it out on here.
Once you have the custom recovery, boot into it and then you can navigate through the menu's. You can mount your SD card as USB so then you can transfer the rom across, then just install the rom by going to choose zip from SD card (or something like that).
**EDIT**
Comes to my attention that to flash via fastboot you need to be S-Off to do this.

The update.zip is your fake flash recovery image so you probably removed it. Get the CWM (same version as you were using) update.zip and put it back on the root of the sd. Next time don't rename anything to updated.zip, just keep the file name and use "install zip from sd".

Does the recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.img is compatible with the HTC Desire (not HTC Bravo) ?
I simply copy this recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.img to the root of the SD-Card (from my Ubuntu PC with a micro-SD usb reader) ?
I have the Android SDK on my Ubuntu PC, but not the "fastboot" utility
(not in /android-sdk-linux_86/tools and not in /android-sdk-linux_86/platform-tools)
**EDIT**
Comes to my attention that to flash via fastboot you need to be S-Off to do this.

What is "S-Off" ?
Ok, I find the explication : S-Off = partition signed off ...
Probably I'm NOT S-Off, because I never read about it before.
Do I need the fastboot utility ?
I read several pages, but all use different methodes...
Thanks,

Manually upgrade from SD, but always loop on CM logo
Hello,
I don't know what I can do ...
So, I explain exactly my problem :
- CM 6.0.1, update to 6.1.1 seem to failed : loop on Blue CM logo
What I can do now on my HTC Desire :
Boot with the "Volume down key" : I have access to the menu :
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.80.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.10.05.17.2
Mar 29 2010
HBOOT USB PLUB (this change when I plug or unplug USB)
...
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE (I try to clear storage, but doesn't solve the problem)
SIMLOCK
----------------------------------
I can go in Fastbook menu :
...
FASTBOOT USB (change when I plug USB)
...
BOOTLOADER
Reboot
etc ...
------------------------------------
When I go in the Bootloader menu, after some secondes, I see messages (fast, difficult to read)
No Image !
Loading [...]
No image or wrong image
------------------------------------
Do I need to copy an image file to my SD-Card ?
Which file ? A CM 6.1.1 file or a ClockworkMod Recovery img ?
------------------------------------
Do I need to use "Fastboot USB" ?
How ?
I don't have the "fastboot" utility in my sdk on my Ubuntu PC.
------------------------------------
It's probably not difficult to solve... but of course I not know how
Thanks for your help.
==================
Oh, ok ! I find (remember) that when I have the black screen with the /!\ Red, I can access to the Recovery menu with the "Volume UP key" and "Power" (not down key)
I try :
- erease Date : not solved
- erease Cache : not solved
So I try to manually install CM 6.1.1 :
- I copy the CM 6.1.1 zip file to the SC-Card
- rename to update.zip
- reboot the HTC Desire in recovery
Installation of Cyanogen MOD 6.1.1 seem ok :
...
Installing update...
Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.1-Desire !
Install from sdcard complete.
- Reboot
arghh.. NOOOO ...
Always LOOP on the cyanogen(mod) blue animated logo
I hope you have some ideas to help me.
Thanks
Didier

Solved
I flash again and again ...
I succeed to flash CM 6.0.1, and it works... (my Desire was in 6.0.1)
but not 6.1.1
So, I thing it must be some data corrupt, or not compatible with CM 6.1.1
So :
I copy again the CM 6.1.1 update.zip on the SDcard
I reboot again in recovery (2)
I flash update.zip
before reboot, I erease data and cache partition
And ok, it works... but no Google Apps... but my HTC Desire boot again.

[Q] Flashing a radio- help needed

Hi all,
Today i was trying to flash the radio for my HTC wildfire
version: 13.55.55.2424H_3.35.20.10 (same as the one on my phone now)
What i have done:
1-renamed the radio to update.zip and put it on SD root
2- booted in recovery mode (CWM 4.0.1)
3- chosen install zip from sd card
but i got this message:
Installing update..
Amend scripting ( update.script) is no longer supported.
( some sentences including CWM 3 and ginger bread) don't remember them exactly
Installation aborted.
I rebooted phone and thanks to God it's working OK, communications OK.
What i have done wrong?
help will be appreciated
thanks in advance.

It needs Clockworkmod Recovery 2.x. So, you can get that from within ROM Manager App.
- Open ROM Manager
- Select Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- This will install v2.5.0.7 on your SDCard (It wont touch your v4.x)
- Then select Reboot into Recovery from within ROM Manager.
- This will start Clockworkmod 2.6.0.7, then flash the radio as normal.
Alternatively, get this attachment:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
Flash in in Clockworkmod 4.0.1, it will give you temporary 2.5.0.7, then proceed as normal.

Thanks a lot 3xeno
i have done the first on and it worked
but
when i installed the updat.zip
some lines was showed but it was very quick i couldn't read them
but the process took about 5 seconds or maybe less
is that normal??
how can i know that i have flashed the radio succefuly?
the phone is working OK.

Yes, its normal. When you follow the second procedure, it gives you temporary 2.5.0.7.
I hope you followed only one of the procedures though. (Either go via the ROM Manager App way, or go via the update1.zip way, not both)
When you flash a Radio, it says "The Radio will install on Reboot". Then, you select "Reboot System Now" in Clockworkmod, and it will reboot your phone, and it will state "Writing Radio Image". This process takes some time, after which your phone reboots again and starts normally. When this happens, you can be sure you have reflashed the radio properly.

i followed the first
i have reeboted into CWM 2.5 ( green color)
then i flash the update.zip by install zip from sd card
it shows quick lines
and i don't see this "The Radio will install on Reboot"
the back to recovery menu
i choose reboot system now
the phone reboot as normal without this "Writing Radio Image"
any thing am missing?

Don't flash the update.zip in Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Green Text). The update.zip is an alternative to be flashed in Clockworkmod 3.x/4.x (Orange text) which will reboot your system in Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7. (ie - It is to be used only if you didn't use the ROM Manager method. Since you have installed Clockworkmod 2.5 using ROM Manager, you can delete the update.zip, you no longer need it)
Once you get to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7, Flash the Radio's Zip using the same procedure. (Install Zip from SDCard > Select Radio Zip file). To reiterate, theres no need for update.zip once you are in Clockworkmod 2.5

Thanks a million 3xeno
flashed the radio Successfully
what i was doing wrong that i have renamed the radio zip file to update.zip
method that i have done for anybody hwo wants to do that (thanks to 3xeno):
1- put the radio file as it is on SD root (don't change the name of zip file)
2- go to rom manger and choose flash clockworkmod recovery
3- from rom manger choose reboot into recovery
(will reboot in CWM 2.5) green text
4- choose install zip from sd card
5- press go back (back button won't work) go to the bottom of menu and you will find the ++back++
6- choose reboot system now and wait til it finish.

I don't think changing of filename from radio.zip to update.zip will affect installation of radio (as long as you haven't extracted the zip).
But what happened is (I guess) ---
You are changing the radio.zip to update.zip and kept it at the root of sdcard. Then if you open Rom manager and flash recovery, the update.zip related to radio will be overwritten by cwm2.x update.zip . And vice versa if you have flashed Rom manager cwm2.x first and then copied radio update.zip to root of sdcard.
So basically one of the needed things are missing ( = being overwritten) which interfere with the process. Anyway nice that you made it.

[Q] Failed installing a new rom

Hi,
There are a lot of similar problems on this forum, but after trying a lot i still can't get my DHD fixed... I feel stupid atm..
It happened when trying to install the Sensation v2.1 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131063)
I followed the guide from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996
I started with making the phone Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF. This was succesfull.
BELOW are the steps from the flashing guide, the BOLD marked part shows the part it went wrong..
- Tell any people that might call you during the next 10-15 minutes to not worry
- Connect your phone using "Disk drive" to the computer.
- Copy both your full-wipe-1-3.zip and your rom zip file to your SD Card
- Make sure you copied them correctly
- Check again because once you full wipe, you won't have a rom.
- Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Install and open Rom Manager from the market
- Tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
- Wait for it to download (yes, you need a wi-fi or data connection)
- After it is done press "Reboot into recovery"
- If you get an icon with a phone and an exclamation mark in a triangle, remove the battery from your phone, reboot and then flash the clockworkmod recovery again
- Once you are in the clockwork mod recovery, you may use the volume keys as directional keys (up and down) and the power button may be used as Enter.
- I recommend you do a nandroid back-up. You must have at least 1 gb of free space.
- Select "Install Zip from sdcard"
- Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
- Select full-wipe-1-3.zip (It's right under those folders)
- Confirm by selecting the Yes option in between those "NO"s
- Wait for it to finish
- DO NOT REBOOT!!! In case you were not aware, you now have no rom installed
- Once again select "Install Zip from sdcard"
- Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
- Select your rom zip file
- Confirm your selection (just like with the wipe)
- Wait for it to finish
- Please reboot from the recovery menu and flash nothing else before you have rebooted
- Pop a champagne bottle, because it's done.
I was not able to select a file from the SDcard.. It kept saying "SDCARD NOT MOUNTED"
After that ive done some more:
- Format the card with SDFormatter and i've also tried in Clockworkmod itself but also there it said the SDcard wasn't mounted..
I've also read about a USB brick or something.. But to fix the usb brick u needed to put a file, update.zip, on your SDcard... which i couldnt load ofcourse.
At the moment i'm really frustrated because my DHD just wont start!!
It has no ROM.. At the moment it also stopped starting the Clockworkmod.. It shows a phone with a red exclamation mark when i press RECOVERY from Bootloader screen...
I hope someone can help me fix this DHD..!
Regards, Thijs

Actually, at the moment i dont care if the ROM i mentioned gets installed.
I'd be SO HAPPY to have the stock Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.x back!!!!!

Oke it now for some reason found the SDcard and i succesfully wiped the device again with Full wipe 1.5 EXT4 and succesfully installed the Sensation rom.
At this moment the systems just won't boot.
It freezes at the first screen u see when you boot the DHD..
Anyone knows what this could mean??

I'm sure you have done this but I'm going to ask anyway.
Do you have a nandroid backup somewhere in your computer? If you do try mounting the SDcard with a cardreader...some laptops have a built reader. copy the nandroid folder to where clockwork backs everything up and try restoring from phone recovery.
Since you are hung on boot...see if you can do a factory reset and data wipe...a wipe sometimes clears a rom not booting. then again...I'm speaking with experience from other phones not the Desire HD or any HTC for that matter.

[q]Stock rom

Can some one suggest me where download and how installa the stock rom for wildfire.
Now I use a cynogen 7 and i want go back to original froyo + sense

There are 3 primary ways to do that:
1) If you had taken a Nandroid Backup before installing CM7, Just restore that. (But I am assuming you didn't, hence you are asking this)
2) If you want to retain root and Clockworkmod Recovery, just flash this ROM. Its Stock Froyo + Sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
The process to install that is as follows:
- Download this attachment and place on your SDCard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Flash in Clockworkmod 3.x or higher. This will give you temporary Clockworkmod 2.5 (Green Text)
- Then, perform a Data Wipe, and install the ROM Zip file as normal.
3) If you dont want to retain root and Clockworkmod
- Download the Froyo RUU from Shipped ROMs (Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 EXE) from Shipped ROMs:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
- Connect Wildfire to the PC, and simply run it.

Hi, I'm back
Just 2 questions
I downloaded both files
i copied both files on sd then i started rom manager and tapped on first field to
Flask clockwork mod recovery
Then? what i have to do to revert to Clockworkmod 2.5?

I can't understand what you mean by your first question at all. Clockworkmod Recovery flashed via ROM Manager is temporary. Your original Clockworkmod will remain untouched. So if you are using the option called Flash Clockworkmod Recovery in ROM Manager, then the next step is to select Reboot into Recovery from the ROM Manager App again, then flash the ROM File. In this case, you can discard the update1.zip file, as it has no significance.
As for your second question, mirrors of the EXE RUU can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275680

My first question is simple
on my phone i have rom manager and there is a row named "Flask clockwork mod recovery"
but
i don't know how go back from cynogen to stock rom using clockwork mod recovery
can you help me step by step?
and the stock [with no root] rom for wildfire with froyo is this one?
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe (This RUU contains HBoot 1.01.0001)
i need only to connect the phone to pc and run the exe?

First, decide what you want to do - Flash the EXE RUU, or Flash the Safe Flash ZIP File. If you decide to flash the Safe ZIP file, you will keep Clockworkmod Recovery, which will allow you to flash stuff later. If you select the EXE RUU, Clockworkmod Recovery will be removed, so you will NOT be able to flash anything, like ROMs, Kernels etc.
Once you have decided, here are the steps:
1) If you decide to install the Safe Flash ZIP File
- Download the Safe Flash ZIP from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Rooted / Unrooted, Its upto you which version you want. Rooted version has Superuser, so you can run apps like Titanium Backup etc. Unrooted doesnt have Superuser, so you cant run root apps.
- Place this file on your SDCard
- Now, open ROM Manager
- Select Flash Clockworkmod Recovery. Then make sure you select 2.5.0.7. NOT a version beginning with 3.x, 4.x or 5.x
- Once it is installed, in ROM Manager, the next option will be 'reboot into recovery'. Select that
- Once you select that, then you will be taken to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Which has all its options in Green coloured Text). Here, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". This step will erase all data on your phone (Not on your SDcard, Just your phone data. This step is essential when changing ROMs)
- Lastly, select "Install Zip from SDCard", and then, select the ZIP file you placed on your card at the beginning of this step. Let it install. Once installed, Select "Reboot System Now", and let the phone reboot. Done
2) If you decide to run the EXE RUU
- Its pretty much 1 step. Connect the phone to your PC and run the EXE File. It will automatically perform the install. If you get an Error 131 - Customer ID Error, you will need to create a Goldcard. There's a guide for that here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/

Im flashing my GF defy green lense. I myself have a htc hd2 and im no novice when it comes to flashing and modding but the defy really makes my head hurt. its out of warranty and its been running really crapp. I want to flash the: [ROM][05.02.2012]MS2Ginger - Android 2.3.6
Ive managed to root the device but i cant seem to get Clockwork mod on it to flash. Maybe because its late but ive been following the beginners guide but im stumped what to do next.
Any help from the experts would be superb

Do you mean you can't install clockworkmod, or that you're having trouble using it to flash the rom? To install Clockworkmod, just use this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
Run the app and install custom recovery, then reboot the phone. The first time you reboot, the custom BootMenu will display. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu and the power button to select an option. Select Boot > Set Default > Normal > Go Back > Reboot System. After the phone has fully booted up, power it off and reboot again. If the custom recovery installed properly, a blue LED on the phone should briefly light up each time the phone reboots (while the Motorola logo is being displayed).
To use the recovery, turn off USB debugging on the phone (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging), then power off the phone. Press the power button to turn the phone on again, and as soon as the blue LED lights up, press the volume down button. The custom BootMenu will display. Select Recovery > Custom Recovery.

Thanks it makes more sense now i'll give it ago tonight. Very much appreciated

Glad I could help. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Any help would be great
Cheers

Did you unzip the "MS2Ginger3.0-RTM.zip" file? You have to unzip that file and put the "nandroid.md5" and "system.ext3.tar" files on your SD card in clockworkmod/backup/MS2Ginger. (The "MS2Ginger-Greenbread.zip" file should NOT be unzipped, however, and should be in the root of the SD card.)
If you did that correctly and you're still getting an MD5 mismatch error, try checking the MD5 sum yourself using an app like AFV (Android File Verifier), which is available free on the android market. (Open AFV and browse to the md5sum file, long-press it, and select “md5sum –c Type Check”.) Does AFV show a mismatch too?

ahh i didnt unzip. I dont do that with the hd2
Next step... Sorry I feel like a complete n00bie
All im getting now is system.img not found skipping restore of /system/.
Both files nandroid.md5" and "system.ext3.tar are in the folder....
Thank you

You need newer CWM, backup format changed recently. I'm typing from a phone, can't give you more directions now.

Don't unzip it; just put it on the root of your SD card. Then boot into custom recovery, select Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard, and install it. That will update your recovery to the latest version.
