First off, yes I know there are a bagillion threads on not being able to root, and I have spent hours looking through them and my issue isn't resolved, so hear me out.
I just got a Droid Incredible (has Froyo and an AMOLED screen) after my Droid 1 cracked its screen (easily rooted, btw), and tried rooting this with unrevoked 3.32 (newest from his site). I followed this explicit guide verbatim (here).
Unrevoked fails to root, install recovery, or turn off security, giving me the ERROR "Backup CID is Missing" that is mentioned in the guide, so I follow the linked instructions on how to manually flash a recovery image to the device (here)
After booting into hboot with the PC36IMG.zip file on my SD card, hboot scans and says no image or wrong image found for all four checks.
SUMMARY: I cannot flash a custom recovery, so cannot flash a ROM, so no root, and security is still enabled.
I tried using ADB to flash it manually following this, but I get the following error in cmd prompt
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4200 KB)... OKAY [ 0.606s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 1.183s
Some notes that people said to try:
- I have tried three SD cards that all work in my Droid 1
- I reformatted all of them to FAT32 to be sure
- I have tried two windows 7 computers with ADB and unrevoked
- I do not have HTC sync, but I tried installing it and uninstalling like the guide suggests
- I have removed all drivers and reinstalled the unrevoked once again
- I uninstalled Dropbox
- Debugging is enabled, as is everything else in the first guide
- I tried many PC36IMG.zip files (clockwork, RA, stock, different versions) (named them .zip, extracted .img, PC31, etc)
Help would be much appreciated because I am too used to root on my Droid 1!
You mention PC36IMG.zip more than once in your posting, so I assume it isn't a typo.
OTOH, no such file has anything to do with the Incredible. That's a filename for the EVO.
On the Incredible we have files called (or renamed to) PB31IMG.zip,
True, I was following an Incredible guide that sent me there. My bad, not used to dealing with this from my old phone. Thanks for pointing that out.
Well I tried the correct PB31IMG.zip files and the same thing happens in hboot. It says loading...all the zip files... checking... then goes away. Like this one for instance, I took the clockwork PB31IMG.zip. I never get prompted to install the zip.
If I go to recovery, I see a phone with a red triangle on it and the phone is frozen.
I'm in the same boat with my incredible replaement i just got, idk wtf is up with it. i wish i had a old unrevoke version before 3.2 cause i only flashed my last replacement a month ago without a hitch. can anyone pleasssssee upload the version before the one thats currently out for unrevoked so i can try it? It might just cure both of our issues.
do you have the correct modified hboot driver from unrevoked installed? you need to boot your phone into hboot and connect the usb cable let it install driver then go into device manager and maually change the driver to the one they provide... I have rooted 5 SLCD fresh out of box incredibles in the past 2 weeks with unrevoked with 0 issues...

My droid shows up fine, the entire process runs, my phone reboots into Hboot starts the rooting process it gets to the final step of flashing clockwork recovery and bam i get the error unable to validate :: Cid is missing, along those lines like was mentioned above.
I think the issue is on Unrevokeds side. i flashed my replacement before this not more then a month ago but deleted that version of unrevoked. if you have the older jan 8th version id love if you could upload it or upload your current version if its different please.
Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my HTC desire.
I was running Leedroid for more than 6 months and everything was fine.
Yesterday morning, my phone went battery-dead and then when I started it plugin-in to the power socket it turned on and got stuck at the HTC screen.
I can enter bootloader (I guess ?) by pressing power + back but then I don't know what to do (I have a white screen with several menus I can browse with vol up/down) ?
I also tried going with a RUU (RUU MoDaCo Version: 1.15.405.4) and it does detect my phone but won't finish.
Is there anything I can do ?

Why won't it finish?
No idea, it doesn't say.
I believe my phone is soft bricked, I can access hboot and fastbood so i'm pretty sure I can do something about it.
I read something about a unbrick thing you could launch from fastboot ? But can't find it.

Try to flash this ruu:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe
Boot phone in fastboot mode and follow instructions on the screen. Does it give you any errors?
Everything goes well, it does the sending part then gets stuck at signature update:

FYI I tried to create a gold card but adb devices doesn't return anything so I don't know if I can create a goldcard.
fastbood devices does return something though.

Adb will run only if adb debugging is allowed, so Booted state or recovery state. In fastboot mode, only Fastboot will run. Have you overwritten recovery yet? If not, you flash another rom. If yes, are you S-Off? If so, you can flash an Hboot/recovery in Fastboot mode

You cant flash custom roms from fastboot
You can flash recovery, and each of the .img files included in the Clockworkmod backup folder, but only if you're S-off. Apparently you're S-On (Security on. For S-off, Alpharev should have been used)..
Were you foresighted enough to make a gold card? If you hadnt, you have to find the RUU you successfully flashed last, or the RUU corresponding to the region of your device and brand.

Making a goldcard is the solution. And you can get the CID from any Android phone.
You definitely need to create a gold card. To create a goldcard see this: http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/ho...th-ubuntu.html
It is in unbutu, but maybe you can sort it out. Have a look.
OK I now have a goldcard: took a friends phone (same phone, same carrier) and put my sdcard in there and used modaco's tool.
Now the next step is to install a valid RUU for my region, right ?
If I do so it seems to go past the last error but gets stuck at
ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
Thanks
Hello ! I tried using a different RUU (the one suggested bu MatDroid: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed) and it has -almost- worked !
The update went until the end but now my phone boots and reboots after a couple of seconds (not fixed: sometimes I can go to unlock my simcard, sometimes a bit longer ...)
I'm getting desperate everytime I think I'm making advance there something new.
Now what ? I'm gone back to the original state: frozen on HTC screen
I tried re-running the RUU (this time the latest I could find: RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe)
Everything goes well, it says it is successful but then it reboots and gets stuck with HTC screen
Hey guys, went to the bootloader and erased all data. This time for some reason it rebooted fine and now the phone seems to be working.
Now I would like to have some advice:
- What can I do so in the future I have all I need for recovering ?
- I already have a goldcard
- what about the recovery ? Should I install something ?
- I liked leedroid, so thinking of going back to 2.5 what do you think?
Thanks for your help you re the best !
EDIT: well I thought it was working but here I am again. Reboot after reboot. This time the first one happened after 15 solid minutes and now it reboots every 30 seconds I barely have the time to enter my pincode ...
Anyone has an idea ?
I've found a way to stabilize my phone, which is by not putting my SIMcard in, but not sure how long it's gonna take before the next reboot.
I don't know what to do. Was thinking in downgrading using teppic74 tool but everytime I download it I get an error: corrupted file.
Can't see the end of it.
Guys, in the end I re-did the whole process: use RUU then delite data in the recovery and it seems to work.
I guess those RUU don't always work fine the first time.
Thanks to you all for your help
Good Afternoon everyone,
Here once again. I have been having lots of problems recently with my phone memory getting low, crashes freezing, un-expected reboots etc. I have been using the same rom for a few months and was fine at first but just broke down. So I went into recovery and did a wipe now when powered on for the first time it doesnt get past boot animation just stay on the screen no matter how many reboots or further wipes. I also got a brand new 32GB Micro SD card for xmas that I haven't used yet so my idea was to get a new cool rom and use the SD card
First of all which rom. Now I know people say try different roms and see which you like but so many roms I dont know what to go for and was wondering for some advice. My requirements are that it is not ICS version as I get a phone upgrade on contract in July and want to leave ICS for a new phone so Gingerbread it is.
Now the rom requirements are:
> HTC Sense, prefferably a latest 3D version but if it doesn't work or very laggy then no.
> Camera needs to be fully working
> USB Tethering
> As much as possible on the SD card to save phone space
> Dont need super battery life but at least something that lasts a day and doesnt drain it
> Music Working nicely
> Not too buggy and fairly stable
Now secondly I still have not got myself familiar with Android flashing etc. If I want to start again from scratch new memory card does anyone know the steps. Is there any plain step by step instructions out there that tells me completly what I need to do as I can get confused quite easily.
Thanks in advance for any responses,
Regards,
Max
For this moment(in my opinion) this is the one from the best ROM for HTC Desire...including everything what you questing...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315961
Thanks. I was already interested in this rom and you saying that has swayed by boat. The next problem is how to go about it. the first steps appears to be installing EXT4 Recovery but its an APK and they are installed with the phone botted up normally correct? My phone isnt booting only in Recovery Mode which is the clockwork mod (from about 8 months ago)
4ext has an app to download its recovery. If you are s-off, the app will flash the recovery img.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Ok I beleive I do have S-OFF from previous flashing however I can no longer boot the rom up so what do I do?
I can boot into recovery mode but as soon as I boot normally it just sits on the boot animation completly animated but never going further (left it for 3 hours until battery died) also tried wiping about 5 times after a wipe and I just cannot get it on. So what do I do?
I'll upload it for you (from my sd card).
If you are s-off, you can fastboot flash it (see link to my guides for info on fastboot flash - Forget adb, not relevant...)
Thanks but I am a little confused as to what I am doing.
Is there any step by step?
i have the 4EXT now not installed yet. What about HBOOT, radio rom I have no idea what I am doing in what order now due to my phone not botting :-(
If you don't have 4EXT recovery-reboot phone normally, install this app and update you're recovery from the list...
But if you read above I cannot boot my phone normally!
1.update the recovery(like i say)
2.change the hboot:downolad file PB99IMG.zip, put it on your sdcard, then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash(update) the HBOOT.
3.Restart phone in recovery,perform full wipe(format all partition without FAT32)
4.Download file with ROM, put into your SDCARD and reflash...
I am sorry not having much luck. I have put both the EXT4 recoevry zip and the pb99img zip on my memory card rebooted into the boot loader with vol down went into the fastboot option and the only options there are bootloader (takes me back to main screen) reboot, reboot bootloader and power down.
I am so lsot and need my phone working again :-(

Any ideas? At the moment i will be pleased jsut to get back to stock.
I'm desparate, please help me!
I flashed the remove-3-dot for the AT&T HOX, but I have another one. Now I cannot go back, since the device doesn't completely boot.
It is stuck with the HTC figures showing up and halfway the music stops and the device hangs.
I can go to recovery, but since the Àll-In-One Kit from Hasoon2000 doesn't see the device when in recovery (CWM 5.8.2.7 Touch), I cannot even put anything to the SD card, so I cannot even flash anything else!
Please help me before the battery dies out!! (I cannot turn it off since lonng press of the power button only restarts the booting)
If you have CWM did you made a nondroid backup?

@muamers: Thanks!!
I already found out how to turn the device off, not draining the battery anymore.
I also flashed the new CWM 5.8.3.1 so it should have some ability to charge.
I am currently downloading the latest stock 1.29.401.11 and will try to flash that one.
I did search, but it's difficult currently. However, I made a permanent link to the Wiki - it's more than useful (the reason it exists, I know...)
Oh - it wasn't bricked (because it still did some stuff)
@jeyml: No, I did not do that (didn't know it was possible)
Does that mean that I could recover with the rom exactly as it was put on the device? (including installed ZIP files)

Yup.It is actualy quite simple,i always do a backup before i flash something or update my ROM and other stuff.You keep the volume down + power button.After that you enter recovery mode (you will need to have CWM) and you have an option there "backup and restore",enter there and make a backup.Next time if you have any problems just enter again in the CWM,go to "backup and restore" and restore the backup you've made.It saves everything you have (i mean the ROM setting and such.Apps and other stuff must be backed up with Titanium Backup).
The backups you made are saved in the SD card in the nandroid directory if i remember corectly,so if you update you're ROM to...1.29 for example and have a 1.28 backup just enter there and delete it and make a new backup of the 1.29 so you don't get confused in so many backups and if you ever have problems and restore a 1.28 backup on you'r 1.29..well...you realize that the phone isn't going to work anymore.So,be carefoul.
Didn't work... I downloaded this rom: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed
did everything this page told us: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190
But I do not see anything change... It's still stuck in the boot process.
I don't know what I am doing wrong...
I also didn't find a clear guide for how to do things - it's all pieces which everyone has to put together, making it hard when there is a real problem.
If this can be solved, I will investigate the nand backup for certain!
For now I need my phone, but it does not work...
Oh - how does the charging with the new clockwork work? I don't see anything happen, so I am afraid the battery will be down soon.
edit: It was on power all night and when I looked it had the screen on. Unplugging and replugging and the gren light went on. Does that mean the battery is filled?
One important fact: the adb command cannot find the device and I don't know why!
How did you flash the RUU? You have to connect the phone in FASTBOOT to the PC and then run it (with a locked bootloader) and it replaces the entire system

The bootloader loocks relocked ok (as it shows on top of that screen)
But flashing is impossible and, of cause, I don't know why
Adb will work in recovery but only if you boot the recovery from fastboot.
Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
ok, next approach:
- Booted to fastboot
- unlocked bootloader with the unlock .bin file
- fastboot boot Recoveries\CWM5.8.3.1.img
- adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
- waited 5 minutes until done
- in recovery: Install zip from sdcard
- manual selected the rom.zip (yes, it was actually on the SDcard, so adb did its job)
- got an error that the image was bad:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1
-- Installing: /sdcard/rom.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip
I think I will have to get another image, right?
This one was extracted from
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe
I started the program and searched for the rom.zip in my temp folder. Was this ok?
Run .11 RUU, wait until load all completely, now go to %temp% in your pc and find a folder that contain a ROM.ZIP file... Unzip the files and flash the boot_signed.img and the recovery_signed.img, then relock your phone fastboot oem lock) do a factory reset (with the new recovery) and then try to run the .11 RUU.
THAT SHOULD WORK

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1
-- Installing: /sdcard/rom.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/rom.zip
I think I will have to get another image, right?
This one was extracted from
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed.exe
I started the program and searched for the rom.zip in my temp folder. Was this ok?

You haven't a clue have you?
You don't flash an RUU from CWM, it's a Windows application!
1. Boot phone into FASTBOOT
2. Connect to the PC
3. Lock the bootloader
4. Run the RUU
Job done
@wolfraim: Yes, the factory reset was the one culprit, it seems!
EddyOS: Tried that so many times, but finally wolfraim added a crucial point: Factory reset!
Now the RUU install from the PC is working... (Have to wait for some time ...)
* I have to go for now, right after the flash is done.
When I've got the time, I will try to make some more notes and maybe another step-by-step story on how to make the device work again.
Thank you very much for your patience and help!
This is why I love the xda-developers site so much!
(and all possible ways included on XDA to brick my device is the reason why I hate xda sometimes... )
edit: Flashing has succeeded! Software number: 1.29.401.11, so it seems I also have the latest ROM update now.
I'll make a recovery backup asap and will try the titanium backup too.
Oh, this one is SU-locked of cause, so I will have to install the SU zip file again... Much work is to be done yet. Maybe I should look for a good ROM in the Android development area.
Maybe this is an obvious problem, but I couldn't find a solution neither searching Google nor XDA forums... hence this post here.
I'm trying to flash Android Revolution HD 6.2 Jelly Bean Custom Rom on HTC One X+ 1.17.401.1 using tutorial: how-to-install-android-revolution-hd-6-2-jelly-bean-custom-rom-on-htc-one-x-1-17-401-1 on theandroidrom site.
The prerequisites are:
1. Unlock my device using HTCDev account - which I did (the first line on the boot screen: *** UNLOCKED ***).
2. Install ClockWorkMod Recovery from a downloaded IMG file using fastboot - which doesn't seem to work on my device.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
says everything went OK. But when I reboot my device into recovery mode it just reboots or powers off. When I switch it on again, it just boots into Android (Sense).
I tried both: touch and regular IMG files for HTC One X (GSM) (there is no IMG file dedicated for HTC One X+ as I understand) from clockworkmod site:
1. recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
2. recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
In both cases fastboot says everything went ok, but I cannot boot into recovery. Do I make some stupid mistake? (I'm a noob...)
Maybe it's also worth mentioning, that I rooted my device about a week ago using some tutorial on the web - I don't recall the adress anymore. It was on the factory 1.14.401.1 software version then. Root checker said, that the phone has root access. A few days later there was an OTA update to 1.17.401.1 software version, which I installed. Root checker says "no root access" now.
Did I mess something up?
Otherwise the phone works OK. My goal is just to install the Android Revolution ROM, hoping mainly for better battery life (is it reasonable? I already use JuiceDefender on balanced setting...)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ok, this is weird...
Today I tried to flash the stock revovery for HTC One X+.
Fastboot said all went good, just like before:
Code:
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery_v.0.3.img
sending 'recovery' (6736 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.989s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Format partition SOS done
OKAY [ 0.378s]
finished. total time: 1.379s
And now, when I boot into recovery mode, the first line says: "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.0"
This is the "touch" version as I presume, since menus can be navigated using touches (and volume/power buttons as well).
Someone can explain this to me, please?
Does it mean I can proceed with installing Android Revolution HD 6.2 now? (after proper backup of course)
