Are You using a Gold Card? Are you rooted?

To make a Gold Card;
http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card
The gold card, allows you to install unsigned ROMs in the beginning, a must for Desire owners. After that;
Then root your phone;
Then flash a custom ROM.

Seriously, were past the stage of 50 billion processes.

I think, remove goldcard, insert blank sd, download latest oxygen to root of this sd, wipe everything in cwm, flash rom.
Hope that works, its the process I followed!

Will try out that one one sir, thank you!

Flashed ROM on a non-goldcard sd and i still have the same problem.

Already tried on Oxygen, Leedroid, SupeRomHD and RCMixS. With or without goldcard. Hboot 0.93 on Stock 2.2 ROM with S-ON.
Please help

You're desire isn't PVT4 by any chance is it?
If so I know there are problems using clockwork, and I wonder if that's contributing?

Sir,
It is a PVT4. I was able to solve it by doing S-OFF
After which all my previous problems were solved - nandroid backup, modify my phone partitions and flash custom ROM.

Nevertheless it's really recommend to use amonra recovey instead of clockworkmod if you have a pvt4 desire (to avoid strange issues):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA_2.0.1.img

Another Status 7 error here.
I have a Desire with Oxygen 2.1.4 and when trying to update to 2.1.5, I got this error.
Reading through your posts and watching videos on YouTube, tried 2 methods of flashing Amon Ra over ClockworkMod to fix the Status 7 error:
1. With ClockworkMod Rom manager app, which grayed out the alternate recovery field in the app and did not allow, and
2. With the android emulator app which did not found the flash_image command
Is there an another SAFE way to flash Amon Ra Recovery 2.0.0 over ClockworkMod recovery?
Awaiting your much appreciated answer.

Unrevoked 3.21 and select custom recover img

Nothing. Flashed the Amon Ra recovery, cleared all cache, still nothing.
Back to ClockworkMod again.
Status 7 error on me like a nightmare
Have other suggestions?

Try this command...

[Q] Can't flash ROM after Revolutionary Method

I flashed my Desire with stock gingerbread but I found that it didn't support Arabic Language so I tried to root it again to downgrade to a froyo ROM by urevoked method but I found it didn't support the newer hboot version so I used the revolutionary method and made the S-OFF and Rooted My phone again now when I tried to flash stock rooted rom with a2sd it is tell me (signature verification failed then installation aborted) how that it came. I used that Rom many times before.
before I tried to install this rom I wiped delvaik cash and wipe data then I reset the factory setting and I repartioned the sd card with mini tool on Windows for fat 32 and Ext 2 and swap
what can I do Now?

I don't know what is gparted, Iwill search and do it then come with response.
when I made the revolutionary method from unlocker wepsite, and i used the tool on revolutionary wepsite but I didn't used any thing from Alpharev website but I finished the root and S-OFF. is there something missing.

If you're s-off then no, nothings missing. Why don't you try flashing a different recovery (look at my guide for help), and re-download the rom, and check the md5 matches before flashing. You shouldn't have a problem then.

I tried a differen't recovery as urevoked (clockworkmode and Amon RA) but nothing the boot loader page show me stil on revolutionary
I tried to flash RUU ROM rooted only without A2SD to avoid using the gparted. But same problem (installation aborted due to signature verification Failed)
I think the problem from I running Now on gingerbread and I tried to flash froyo ROM
please advise me if i flash RUU Froyo Rom without any root then try another recovery method. that will solve the problem. or I can't do that.
Note: I tried Android flasher many times and it didn't make anything

It has been solved. I used your troubleshooting guide to solve it.

[Q] Installing Jelly Bean on my HOX

Hello all,
I've got an unbranded international (taiwan) HOX.
Today I was notified that I got an update availabe for my device - finally JB!
So I let it download and install, but when it turns off to install (in CWM) it automatically I've got an error that says
PHP:
"E: unknown volume for path [file path]"
"E: Can't mount [file path]"
"Installation aborted."
So I tried to install the file from the zip manually (in CWM) but I got these errors:
PHP:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
"Installation aborted."
Also tried to put it in another folder and install manually, but no luck, and even re-download it. (Delete, let it download the update again and install).
Another friend who's got the same phone as mine (we bought it at the same store) did get to install the update successfully.
Any thoughts? I'll go ahead and say that my phone has CWM and is rooted. my friend's phone is clean in that matter, no modifications.

You need to go back to stock in everything to get that update ... It needs stock recovery and locked bootloader ...

Could you please refer me to a guide that will help me do that?
and from my understanding, If I'll go back to stock, and update, I'll have to unlock the bootloader again. Last time I did that I had to delete everything on my phone (I guess this will happen when I revert the root and bootloader unlocking too), so got any good way to backup all the app data and everything I need?
Thanks.

Correction . You will have to relock the bootloader again . And since you've rootedd your phone , use Titanium Backup or MyBackup .
This video will guide you to complete stock .

Relocking bootloader is not necessary for OTA updates, but you need stock recovery.
You have to find a stock recovery and then flash it via Fastboot.
Tutorials over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832891

Agree with webpatrick
you only need stock recovery to install OTA updates, just find your original rom(or extract from ruu) and flash it in bootloader fastboot flash recovery path_to_recovery_signed.img
not sure if it requires locking the bootloader or not, after that you can reinstall CWM the way you did before and make a backup.

There are 2 options
1:
Flash the non-rooted stock rom with stock boot.img and stock recovery. Bootloader can stay UNLOCKED.
2:
Flash the right RUU, only LOCKING the bootloader is needed. The ruu will flash the stock recovery and boot.img.
Just to be clear
Verstuurd van mijn HTC One X

Need some clearing up here:
1. Can my phone stay rooted? if not - how do I remove SuperSU? tried to remove it from ES by removing the SU file and the app from system/app but that didn't work. - EDIT: Managed to remove root from my device using HTC Quick Root, though it says I need to install secure boot.img to entirely remove root.
2. I tried to flash a recovery file I found in a guide, but the recovery doesn't really work...when I try to access the recovery I got the error screen (the one with the red triangle and exclamation mark), so can someone refer me to a working recovery? attached my software information.
3. Do I need to relock my bootloader or not?
Thanks alot guys, I'm pretty much of a newbie in this whole business

Okay let me lay it down for you.. Pretty simple.. This process doesn't need you to relock the bootloader. (Even if you had to using the other process you would be adding a couple of minutes more in unlocking bootloader)
method1:
1- First things first get your RUU depending upon the version you are at. I haven't had a look at your picture. but just make sure that your region is correct and that the version you possess is either the same version or higher.
2- You need to flash the recovery as that is what will update the recovery and the ROM. so as mentioned above you can just go into fastboot and then flash recovery using the RUU.
method 2:
just relock te bootloader by going into fastboot and typing "fastboot oem lock".
Once that is done you can just run RUU and it will update everything for you. Once complete just unlock bootloader and then flash CWM.. thats it

now I've got a few problems with that:
first of all, my version is 2.18 and there is no RUU for that version for my HTC (which is TWM-TW) yet. and I don't wanna go back to stock ROM, it is the one I have. I just want to set my phone straight so it can get the OTA JB update.
The problem I think I've got now is that my recovery is malfunctioning. I think I don't have the right recovery, since when I try to go into recovery mode I get the red triangle and exclamation mark.
When I tried to install the update, it downloaded it, went into recovery, started doing the process (the green bar was progressing) and then out of the blue - error screen (red triangle and exclamation mark)...
Any ideas?

I always have this problem when i try to update even if i go back to the stock recovery.The problem is that you installed something that modified you'r system (in my case i've installed using CWM the Google Now and some other stuff on it) and now the phone can't update because something is "messed up" in the system.You now have to restore and old backup in CWM,preferably one that doesn't have any mods in it.The recovery is good,otherwise it wouldn't work at all.

Well, I rooted my phone and installed CWM. so I did the unroot (as far as I know) and got the stock recovery, so what else could it be? :S

No,you didn't understand,this is not about the stock recovery.This is about the fact that you probably installed something (using CWM) that rewrited some files in the /system or other folders that this update depend on.Because those folders are modified the update doesn't recognize those apps and can't continue.That is what i am saying.Install the CWM again,search for any nandroid backups that you have on it and install the oldest one.I usualy make a nandroid backup everytime i update my phone because until the next update i keep installing stuff that messes up my ROM and in cases like yours i just apply the backup i've taken and voila,the update works.Also there is one app that messes up you'r system,it is called BusyBox,and if you install that app and want to make an update,the update will fail (red triangle) because of that app.
If you don't have any nandroid backups the only solution is to install the RUU.

Thanks for making it all clear I'll check if I've got a backup from when I formatted my phone (does root affect this process?)
And from what I understand, I can only install RUU that is the same as my phone's version or higher. right now I got 2.18, the TWM-TW version of the phone. know by any chance if there is an RUU for it?

The root should not affect the backup/restore proces as far as i know.Yes,the RUU must be the same as phone version or higher.Honestly i don't know any RUU for that,try searching for the new JB RUU.
EDIT:
Check you'r CID and download one of the stock nandroid backups here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140

Thanks for the nandroid, It will be my last resort if restoring a clean image won't help
and about the root - I meant if it's supposed to interfere with the update.
Thanks.

So let me get this straight. You don't have the RUU for your version at all?? and what recovery is installed right now???

No problem,if there are any other problems just ask.

@zainalabididn - I made a recovery image when i first rooted the phone (not when I first got it), but it still won't let me update over it - maybe because of the root. the recovery I'm using right now is CWM 5.8.4
@jeyml - I tried to install the nandroid in the link you gave me, but it wouldn't let me flash the hboot on my device, so after flashing the boot and nandroid it just went into loops of trying to start up, getting stuck and rebooting. got any idea why that happens? (notice: I don't have S-off, if that's what causing the problem)

Your recovery is probably too old. (Oops, saw your edit. Still, there is a newer recovery you might want to try.)

Are you S-ON or S-OFF? And I'd update your HBOOT to 1.02.

I'm pretty sure it's S-OFF since the CM ROM I installed wasn't signed. I'll update the bootloader when I get home though.
