I know, first thing to do is search search search... maybe I'm using the wrong keywords but I just cannot find a solution to my problem...
I had rooted with Simple Root OTA and was using DamageControl 3.2.3
Since Froyo came out I decided to unroot and just go stock to test it out
From what I had read, I could just run RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.exe and all would be fine. I hit the USB connection error and just restarted the exe as stated and all was fine until I hit the Bootloader Version error and then my phone was stuck in a boot loop. My phone now has HBOOT version 0.79.0000 and cannot boot.
I can still get to my custom recovery (RA) so I tried to NAND restore my DC backup and same thing, boot loop. (I also stupidly lost my original NAND backup so cant even try that)
So now I have no idea what to do, I just know there is a solution but for the life of me cannot find it anywhere.
Sigh, please someone, help an Android newcomer...
Since you have Amon Ra wipe the data and cache then install another ROM.
If you want to use Froyo, CM6 or Backed Snacks are both good choices.
A bit more in-depth:
On PC
1. Download the ROM of your choice
On Phone
2. Boot to Amon Ra
3. Put it in storage mode
On PC
4. Move the ROM you downloaded onto the phone.
On Phone
5. Take it out of storage mode
6. Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache
7. Choose "Install from ZIP" then choose your ROM
8. Let it install then boot
9. You should be set
I tried such a step with Fresh 3.0 and unfortunately it was no dice.
I just finally hit upon a solution before I passed out from frustration and exhaustion.
I ran the newest RUU 1.47.* and copied the rom.zip over and renamed it to PC36IMG.zip to install it directly from the phone and it worked like a charm, I then upgraded to Froyo via the OTA.
The speed increase (thanks to JIT) and better battery life is all I really wanted, I can wait until its rooted to get back anything I miss.
Thanks for they reply

but you do know 2.2 roms are out so you unrooted and went to stock 2.2 instead of downloading an existing 2.2 rooted rom : \
Today I started using CyanogenMod 7 nightly build #27 on my HTC Incredible. Everything was going great and I loved gingerebread. I used it for several hours and decided to make it permanent. I unmounted my sd and formatted it on my PC, after making a copy of all its contents of course. I re-mounted the card and started getting low space warnings, so I figured I should just restart. When I restarted, Cyanogen went into an infinite boot loop. No worries, I had a nandroid backup on my PC from a few hours before Cyanogen. I flashed back to rooted 2.2 Sense stock rom. New issue, I can't access anything on the sd. It appears empty, and none of my widgets can load. So I figured why not just start all over re-root and all of that. I followed a downgrade guide for an out of the box experience,(shouldnt have). The downgrade seemed to be successful but now my phone only boots to the white screen with the skateboarding androids. I have Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, & Power Down. I dont think I have root and I dont have clockwork anymore. Maybe if I could get clockwork back I could get back to 2.2 at least and use rom manager to get back to cyanogen 2.3.
What can I do???
SOLVED
Goto:
http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...kwork-hangs-htc-incredible-splash-screen.html
Ok, the easiest way to fix this:
1. Format your sd card to FAT32 on your computer
2. DL this recovery zip: http://fourty.net/~berzerker/bamod/PB31IMG-red.zip
3. Place that zip on the root of your sdcard, rename to PB31IMG.zip
4. With the phone off, insert sdcard
5. Hold "Volume Down" and power button until a white screen pops up
6. It should scan for files, and find the zip on the sdcard
7. Press "Volume Up" to confirm update, you should see a progress bar top right.
8. When finished, select "No" when asked to reboot
9. Select "Recovery" with volume keys, confirm with power button.
You should now boot into ClockworkMod recovery. Wipe all data/factory reset, then format your sdcard (optional, just make sure PB31IMG.zip gets erased). You can then mount usb mass storage from "mounts" menu, and copy over CM7.
Stuck at HTC Incredible screen
Hey,
Thanks so much for your quick reply! I was able to flash the recovery you linked me too which has made my day a lot better already, but it seems its not quite over yet.
I wiped all the data, wiped the cache, fomatted the sd, mounted the sd to my pc and copied over CM7.
The first try I also copied over the signed google apps package I received from rom manager, which was in my backup.
Installed them both and the phone never made it past the white HTC Incredible Screen.
So I wiped again and only installed CM7. Same issue.
I have a nandroid backup of 2.2 rooted but otherwise stock HTC Sense rom, but I can't find the recovery on the sd. I copied over my entire old clockwork folder, but its nowhere to be found. I realize the recovery img you gave me looks a lot like clockwork but is titled BAMod Recovery. Could that prevent me from seeing the clockwork folder?
Thanks so much for your help with this!
I'm going to try flashing the radio back to 2.xx
and then try CM6 stable and see what I can get

NO!!!
Flashing a radio is probably not the greatest idea.
Instead, do a search for clockworkmod recovery for the inc. The link I gave you was the one I had on hand, since I wrote all that at midnight lol.
Another thing I'd do is to re-download CM7 from the official teamdouche mirror site, along with g-apps, as I have a feeling your backups are somewhat corrupt.
Ok I won't reflash the radio. But right now the radio is 1.xx
Doesn't CM7 require a 2.xx radio? It rolled back during the stupid downgrade I did.
I've started downloading CM7 and g-apps again. And I will replace BAMod with clockwork. I can do that with the same steps as before right? It will just overwrite BAMod?

1. In that case, yes, flash a 2.XX radio.using a PB31IMG. Froyo and gingerbread both require it.
2. Yep, just follow the steps, it'll just overwrite it.
I flashed the radio successfully, something worked!
However I'm having a hard time getting clockwork. I donwloaded clockwork 2.5.0.7 img
I then put it in a zip called PB31IMG
The phone picks up on it and flashes through some things pretty quick the last being parsing PB31IMG.zip....
Then it just jumps back to HBOOT. It doesn't ask if I want to update like the radio did.
I even tried to push it over fastboot from my pc, but everytime it says Failed remote not allowed.
Since I have the correct radio I am trying to flash CM6.1 to see what happens. BAMod is installing it now. If I can get in and get rom manager it can flash clockwork.
Thats my thinking anyway
It says it installed CM6.1 successfully, but still hangs at white HTC Incredible screen on startup
Wiped and installed CM7 successfully but still hung on white HTC Incredible screen.
Should I try using fastboot on my PC to erase the recovery partition? clockwork just gets rejected everytime, the only thing thats seemingly different about the phone now is having BAMod recovery install things instead of clockwork, which worked...
I miss my incredible
Flashed Amon Recovery, installed CM7 build #27. Still hanging on boot screen.
VICTORY!
Here's how I got it working again:
Head over to h**p://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108 site (due to me being an absolute noob to this forum, I can't post links, so just replace h**p with http) , and pick up the PB31IMG version of the original stock HTC image. Flash it, and everything should start up as fresh as the day you bought it. It seems it loses root and custom recovery though, so just reapply and all should be well.
I purchased my first Android phone used. It is an Sprint HTC EVO 4G. The phone was already rooted. I tried to unroot so I could apply new HTC software update. New at this and screwed the whole phone up. There is nothing left on the sd card. I somehow wiped everything from the phone as well apparently. The phone goes straight to bootloader everytime I power on. I can go into recovery and all that, but there is nothing there to flash or anything. Is it permanently ruined?
Your phone is not ruined, if you can get into recovery your good to go.
1. download new rom you want to try
2. push to sd card via usb-ms toggle option in recovery
3. wipe all on phone (cache, dalvik, data, etc.) in recovery
4. Flash zip of new rom in recovery
5. reboot phone, viola!
6. go back into revovery, goto backup option and do a nandroid
Happy flashing!!!
remember: if phone is rooted do not apply update through carrier. All update musts come thru xda

Correct, but only if your bootloader still reads S-OFF at the top. If so, you are good. If not, we need more information from your bootloader screen, such as your Hboot number and radio.
Where can I get a rom to download? Do I just place it on my sd card? I found a rom zip file downloaded it and flashed it from sd card. Everytime I still get a message saying install aborted.

Choose a different rom. What recovery do you have? You may need Amon Ra to flash certain zips. The stock rooted rom should be compatible with all recoveries. If you're trying to flash that, then redownload it and try again.
If you want to switch to Amon Ra, download the PC36IMG here and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader and the phone will find the file and ask you to update - select yes. When it finishes, select no when it asks you to reboot and select recovery. This is assuming that you're using ClockworkMod since you had installation issues, but there's no reason to flash it if you're already using it. If you're already using it and you flash it, it won't hurt anything.
This is assuming that you have s-off. If you have s-on but still have a recovery, you may be able to flash some things in recovery but you won't be able to flash a recovery through hboot. If you're s-on with recovery, you can either flash Unrevoked Forever through recovery (if your hboot/radio are compatible) or you can finish the unrooting process and reroot if you want to do so.
Supersonic Evo 4G | MIUI | Tapatalk
I have tried flashing PC36IMG prior and it says it applies the update, but then I'm right back where I started on next reboot. When I clicked your HERE link above it goes to a blank page. I currently show S-OFF in the bootloader.
Ok, so when you get to boot loader, click on recovery and which recovery do you have?
If I were you, I would go to the Dev section, look for the stock/rooted ROM and put that on your SD Card. Hopefully you have Amon Ra for your recovery.
Go to wipe, and wipe every option there is there, except SD Card: and Battery Stats, if you're not fully charged, then flash the ROM. Once it's booted, set up your Google account, etc, then go back to recovery and make a nandroid. I always save everything except Cache.
NOW, you'll have a good base to go from
i have the same prob.my buddy gave me evo to fix.sd card got wiped.i have the green recovery,i need a stock rom.

Ok, so I see a lot of guys who are new here and aren't adept with the flashing and rooting process and we're having too many threads based on it and the errors they keep getting. It's nothing wrong to not know certain things but only if the search function was used a bit more.
A few things you should keep in mind :
1> I know no one reads disclaimers anyways but don't blame me if you do something wrong. Follow the steps, they are easy and you're good to go
2> PM me with info, suggestions and tips to improve on this thread if I have missed out certain things. I want this to serve as a basic thread for newbies wanting to install CM7 so we don't clutter the General's with too many threads.

Backup contacts and messages and all other data that is important for you. There are many apps that can do that - Eg. Backup Master, Mobile Backup II, APN Backup and Restore, Backup to Gmail.
Here is a guide for you guys to install and flash the latest version of CM7 on your Wildfire S devices.
1> Bootloader Unlock
a) You can get an S-off using the XTC Clip. What's S-off? It's like a security lock. It could be in the on or off state. An 'S-off' allows you to modify almost everything on your phone. It's pretty costly in many parts so you can try the solution below (it's free)
OR
b) HTCDev method
The first step regarding Bootloader unlock is very important. Unless you do that, don't go forward on this. Here's a beautiful tutorial on how that's to be done.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432199
2> Root & Recovery
Root will allow you to get Superuser permissions on your device. Didn't get it? Well, it's just like administrator privileges. It's basically just a one click solution so that's pretty easy
2a) Root the phone via this crazy one-click software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436426
2b) Once you're done rooting, you must have the app Superuser now. It's time to install CWM now.
1.Go to Google Play (Market)
2.Download and install ROM Manager
3.Open, click on Flash CWM.
4.Select Wildfire S
5.Let it do it's thing, click YES when it asks for SuperUser permissions
6.You should get a message that it's done successfully.
3> Download CM7 & Gapps
So we're getting at the heart of the tutorial now.
Download the latest nightly or stable build of CM7. There are a few ROM's but I'd personally recommend Alquez's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226765
Download the lastest version of Gapps so you can get Market running from here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
4>Place files on the SD card
So you now have 2 zip files with you. The CM7 zip file (around 90MB) and the Gapps zip file (around 6MB). Put both of these files on the SD card. Don't create folders, just place it in the root of your SD card.
5> Get into recovery
Turn off your phone. Now, this is the important part.
Press the Power + Volume Down button simultaneously. (if you can't get it working, disable fastboot under settings)
You'll see the white bootloader screen and something will happen for about 5 seconds (don't worry, you haven't bricked your phone ). It's just a normal P76img.zip search. After that is done, select the "Recovery" option using the volume down button and then pressing the power button.
6> Nandroid backup
Nandroid is by far the safest way. will hopefully get people in a good habit of using them!
nandroid is a backup of the exact state of your phone: apps, data, contacts, messages. it can be restored just in case anything goes wrong, and should always be used for flashing critical things like a new rom.
1. Go into cwm recovery. (Actually, you are in CWM recovery if you've done it correctly )
2. Select 'backup/restore' using volume keys and select with POWER button.
3. select backup
The back up will start, and will take around 5-10 minutes to complete
4. Once it is done, it will go back to the main cwm menu.
Backups are stored on SD card in clockworkmod/backup, and can be moved/copied to PC for ultimate safekeeping.
7> Wipe stuff
Congratulations, if you made it this far in one go
Easy stuff now.
Toggle using volume buttons and 'factory reset'.
Then 'wipe cache'.
Then go into advanced and 'wipe dalvik cache' and 'battery stats'.
8> Installing CM7
Now select 'install zip from SD card'.
Then select 'choose zip'.
Then select the CM7 zip file that you had placed on the root of your SD
Select 'YES' obviously
Let it do it's thing for about 4-5 minutes.
Once it is done, follow the same process as above but select the other zip file, that is the gapps zip file. Okay okay, I'll type it again
Now select 'install zip from SD card'.
Then select 'choose zip'.
Then select the Gapps zip file that you had placed on the root of your SD
Select 'YES' .
Then, go back. Reboot. Have a heart in mouth moment and then watch the CM7 logo show up in a few minutes. You've done it successfully. Congratulations

I want to leave a note.
If no matter what you do, some or all Google apps do not appear even though the flash has been reported as successful, try re-downloading the Gapps archive.
this looks good, particularly the clear layout
however i personally think that:
6> Nandroid backup
you've briefly covered backing up stuff earlier, but nandroid is by far the safest way. will hopefully get people in a good habit of using them!
you could put a note saying that nandroid is a backup of the exact state of your phone: apps, data, contacts, messages. it can be restored just in case anything goes wrong, and should always be used for flashing critical things like a new rom.
if you really wanted, this guide is actually not too far from being a generic guide to installing any custom rom. except that some need an sd card partitions (gparted recommended), so you would have an optional step 2a or something. maybe too complicated, just a thought, but good post so far!
EDIT : Added Backup part as well now.
Nice, just one thing, there is no need to reboot before wiping anything.they'll end up back in recovery anyway to flash a new ROM.
you could put a note saying that backups are stored on SD card in clockworkmod/backup, and can be moved/copied to PC for ultimate safekeeping.
This guide could become a stickie, just hope ppl use ur guide now...

hello everyone!
hardikrajgor123, thanks for a wonderful tutorial and links you provided. everything worked well for me, but i have one question.
i have a confirmation from htcdev method that my device is unlocked and i did install cyanogenmod (it works perfectly). my only problem is that my phone is still s-on and i cannot delete stack apps.
the way which appeared on one of the links (download root.zip, put it on sd card, run it on cwm) didn't work out for me.
anyone has any suggestions how to solve this?
thanks

Did SuperUser install on your phone? If you have root permissions, you can use Titanium backup and remove stock apps. If you're sure the root zip didn't work properly, try doing it again. Follow that tutorial carefully

Could you root successfully? There has to be superuser app when you restart rom. If you rooted successfully, download ROM Manager from Market.
Open app, Flash CWM. Select Wildfire S. BAM! CWM is installed, that is, the latest version 5.0.28
Delete the P76IMG.zip from SD Card then. Check if you can enter recovery.

No I couldn't. Acording to rooting tutorial, I need CWM first, and then launch rooting script in CWM. Now I noticed, there is some one-click software, but it requires S-OFF. I'm stil S-ON, just unlocked, will that work?

Update: So the super-simple one-click app realy rooted the phone (which really made me laugh ). So thanks for pointing me that direction!
Existing CM7 Install
I have s-off and running a nightly rom from a few weeks ago, I partitioned my SD sd card and installed app 2 SD or data to sd and hav loads of storage which I was after.
If I want to keep my apps, data and and current SD card partition option what do I need to do in ordered to update nightly Rom's on a regular basis
Oh I'm rooted , Titanium Backup, rom manager and flash recovery in place.
I'm hoping its just load zip in root of sd card and flash through rom manager, is it that easy ?
Hope u can assist.

Oh wish I'd had this info prior to do it blind for the first time, got it working tho.
So I finally managed to get CM7 working, maybe I can help you with updating this tutorial, as some things don't work anymore with newest firmware...
Steps, which worked for me, at start I had S-ON and 2.13.401.2:
1) Somehow get 2.13.401.3 (which is only one supported by htcdev). Some say, that OTA update worked for them (classic update via menu in phone). It didn't worked for me, so I used RUU update from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074445
2) Then htcdev unlock thing work fine, as you write in your tutorial.
3) Rooting was quite different, because current version of CWM can't be flashed via HBOOT, as it's version is too old.
So new rooting and recovery method, which is actually much more simple and work:
3a) Root the phone via this crazy one-click software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436426
(I still can't believe, that it was that easy )
3b) Restart phone, then go to market and download ROM Manager
3c) In ROM Manager, click the first item: Flash Clockwork Mod. It will do it's thing, and It's done. You have root and CWM installed, without even going to HBOOT. Cool right?
4, ...) The rest is same, as in tutorial on first page, so continue with step 3> there... (don't forget to backup all the time )
Hope, that will help...

1. Download the newest cm7 you want to flash.
2. Boot into recovery. (you can do this through rom manager but it is easier and better to do all things through recovery)
3. Wipe cache partition and dalvik cache ( dalvik is under the advanced tab)
4. Install zip from sd card/choose zip from sd. File should be in the folder marked download.
5. Choose the cm7 file and install.
6. Reboot
7. Flash Data2Sd Reinstaller from Recovery (you can find it in mindhacker's thread) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432259
8. Reboot
Always backup though, this process is tricky. Works for some, not for others

Hey guys, HTC user since 2006 here and this is my first Samsung phone I have ever owned in my life and I need help. I am very interested in flashing the Jelly Beer rom on the AT&T section but I don't know how. Much more than usual on all HTC roms I've ever flashed everything was already there ready for you to just flash and move on. I don't want to damage my phone in any way and would be really appreciated if anyone was willing to give me step-by-step instructions on how to flash Jelly Beer. Thanks!
Honestly , why don't you try any T889 rom first to have more experiance before flash any rom at AT&T forum.
It's the same as flashing a ROM in our section. Full wipe, flash, install gapps. Done.

I would have to agree with simplelife. But if you're up to have fun then this is what i would do:
1. To root (if you have not rooted your Note 2) go here:

2. To flash, go to the thread of your choice, download the appropriate rom and if OP says to download extra stuff then go ahead and do that.
3. Download the T-mobile modem/radio:

4. Locate your downloads and make sure you copy them to the phone's internal sd card (it is recommended you put them at root and not in another folder) , not the external.
5. At this point I'm assuming you already have ROM Manager installed on your phone, if not, download it from the play store.
6. Open ROM Manager and make a nandroid backup as a precaution.
7. Once you're done with that, go ahead and reboot your phone to recovery (either from ROM manager or by pressing power button on your phone, tap reboot and tap recovery)
8. Once you're in recovery, go to advanced, clear dalvik, go back to main menu, clear cache, wipe data/factory reset.
9. When you're done with all that, go to install zip from sd card, choose zip from sd card, locate your zip files and flash one by one.
10. When your done flashing, go to the main menu, go to advanced, and fix permissions. When this is done, reboot your phone.
*As a precaution please read through the thread of the rom that you're trying to flash to make sure the rom is compatible with our Note 2, as far as I know, most ATT, N7105 based roms are compatible with our phone, just make sure to read*
Hope this helps.
I'm rooted, still have the stock rom but I'm ever so interested in running the jellybeer ROM so badly, I have it downloaded to my external because TWRP Recovery wasn't reading the internal SD card, it gave me even more problems so I switched to ClockWorkMod. I tried installing Jellybeer but had problems installing so I gave up, luckily I backed up my stock ROM butbim still sad I can't use that ROM. Any ideas on how to fix this guys?
