Hmm weird, if its going past M, you should be able to get a logcat. Its kind of the only way I can tell whats wrong.
ok so i tried it and it did not work. im think that the problem is some where in the installation cause nothing else makes sense
ok im pretty sure that the problem is some where in the installing cause im think its not probably installing right thats why it goes M and then nothing and ADB commands dont work

Could be missing files. :|
i can already see if it is missing files it would be a huge pain in the ass to find what its missing :-(
edit: also whats with the DS_store files in the zip?
.DS_Store is useless , My mac makes them
im going to check if I can see if theres any missing important files for you to push. can you go on gtalk? My email is my username at gmail
Yah i can go on gmail but after today i dont know when I will be free to help you work on rom again cause im pretty busy the rest of the week
Also I won't be able to adb push things since adb does not work it would have to be in the zip if you compile another zip I will flash it later in the week and get back to you

I'm sorry
I have been extremely busy with the Dx/D2 work I've been doing and just living
I won't completely kill this, when I have time, I will upload a newer build for testing.
Ok that's cool I will check in once and a while I'm still learning how this kinda stuff works once I get the hang of it maybe I can take over but I have a feeling that's a longs way off

Framework,
PM me. I'm a journalist and I get a lot of phones. I love MIUI perhaps I can work something out with you to get you the phones you need to make sure the ports get done.
I was thinking maybe cause the droid pro is a global build while the other phones are just cdma

im wondering if we can boot into recovery, flash images in order to apply themes, fonts, etc. i've tried rebooting into recovery using better terminal pro, rom manager and it says not permitted..is there any way i can have my phone to boot into recovery like lets say..using android commander, it does its job..you think that will work? thanks
I would like to know this as well, does anybody knows? Reef?
I assume by the nature of how the build is setup, you can't easily (at least not through the normal procedure) or even at all. However, I could be very wrong. Would like to see an answer from a pro.
boot recovery
Yes please, i searched all over the internet and i tried everything.... from the Android Explorer to the Root explorer but couldn't install the Arabic support.
yea im dying to install new fonts and give a new look to my phone but it looks like it isnt possible as of now

Yeah, I'd like some new themes and colors, but as far as I can tell, it can't happen, at least for a while. Maybe someone will figure out a work around, but I doubt well see it happening without a specific fix or app for the rhod and xdandroid set up devices.
May want to wait for the project to be more complete before trivial things like this are worried about... Seriously, c'mon guys.

ROOTSide ROM
Base Flipside ROM with root/busybox/unknown sources enabled. Only thing different in this rom than rooting it yourself is you get to check/uncheck unknown sources. Yes, that means you can turn unknown sources ON and OFF! I have a clockworkmod recovery folder zipped up for distribution, but I want to post a full-fledged ROM zip file for the masses. PM me, and I will send you the ZIP file that I have right now.
What you get:
base install for the flipside (AT&T) with motoblur ready to set up. It is the exact same thing as doing a factory reset, but you get all the benefits of superuser with busybox and the addead feature of having unknown sources checkbox in the settings.
I will work towards a deoxed version this weekend as well.
No custom bootscreen (yet). No custom anything, really.
Almost There
I am currently in the middle of Deodexing the image. I have added in wifi tethering, and ensured it will have superuser and busybox pre-packaged. Next step is pushing this to my wife's phone and not having her get a pretty brick in return. If all goes well, I will be posting the image by morning light (CST).
Fingers Crossed!
Well
Things didn't go too well with my first build attempt. Appears to be a permission issue with the /system folder. I will sleep on it, and give it a second go in the morning. Sorry for the apparent "tease". If you want a faster build, I could use some other devs working with me.
Hey man, sounds like you're doing great! Keep it up...I already found a way to get the root with unknown sources checked, so i'm just gonna wait for the deoxed version! Hope it goes well as you try again.
Current Issues
unable to deodex the following:
/system/app/AABSync.odex
/system/app/blur-services.odex
Will try to load to phone without dodexing those two files. Hopefully all will go well.
Me too...good luck!!

Glad to see some work on this device, I love the form factor but it's obviously not very popular with devs...
Very interested to see this come around. I would like to streamline the wife's phone. Her battery life is a 1/3 of my rooted and flashed X10. Sadly though I am NOT a Dev nor even a cook.
I would have had something sooner, but I ran into issues not related to the ROM. Still working on it. Anybody have an idea for upgrading the CWM from the one we can currently use?
so I was curious, I was able to get to unlock mode with an sqlite thing and it worked just fine for me, but have you been able to knock out the bloat and stuff? cause it sounds like the makings of a custom rom lol
you know what the turtle said.. slowly but surely I will win this race

Is it possible to get CM7, or it's a problem with a locked kernel?
Ok, I just got a new phone for the Mrs., so I can break the flipside and unbreak it as much as I like.
Time for some real fearless development lol.

So check this out...I messaged the guy at modmymobile and asked how things were going becuase I heard people were having problems getting an updated CMW and this is his response:
"been sittin on the updated cwm recovery binaries and been draggin my feet/takin a break the past week or 2. i'll throw something out soon, but cant commit to a timeframe, sorry."
Looks like things are on the up and up...stay patient everyone

I can't install CM7, it reboots and locks up, then I have to reinstall froyo. It never worked when I had eclair either.
Hello all,
So I bought my HTC Wildfire S Virgin Mobile on black friday like everybody else. I waited a few days and then rooted. And then I had the brilliant idea to try installing the CM 7.1 Mod for it. And well, I didn't do a Clockwork Backup, and well, it didnt work very well. The phone got stuck on the HTC screen. So finally I installed a different ROM, JikantaruROM, and I managed to get past the bootscreen but I can't use my carrier anymore. So I was wondering if anybody could either tell me how to flash CM 7.1 Unoffical release to my phone, or if anybody knew a way I could get back to the original Virgin Mobile software. It seems that you have all the other stock roms, so I would REALLY appreciate if someone could share the Virgin Mobile rom too.
Thanks in advance,
Wieland959
Seconded. Although I think mine is in a slightly worse case; I kept flashing roms and ended up in a state where it turns on, screen remains black, then the phone vibrates three times and evidently does nothing. So Wieland959, I'd advise you to stop flashing until someone posts the ROM.
And if someone could let me know how to recover from my current state, I'd very much appreciate it.

Your in the same boat I was just in. My solution was to go back to radioshack with the receipt and tell them it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Just doing the 3 vibrations. I did spend hours trying to search about how to fix it, but I dont think theres a way unless you use a jtag hookup and some sort of fancy programmer.
@Wieland959, If you want. I just tried to do the OTA update through the settings on the phone itself. It would let me download the file(I believe it should be flashable through the cwm recovery), but when I tried to let the phone install the file, I would get the android with the exclamation mark after the reboot. Ill try to post here, if it will upload. But......
DISCLAIMER!!!!
I take no responsibility for anyone damaging their phone using the file here. This file, as far as I know, should only work with the Wildfire S Virgin Mobile USA CDMA model A510C as this is the phone the file was downloaded from.
Thank you for the file, but I couldn't flash it. What might work though, if you are willing is, if you have rooted your phone, to make a cwm backup and upload that here. From there I should be able to recover and then factory wipe my phone. But thank you anyways for the file. I will keep kicking until the phone doesn't boot.
How are you planning on restoring from backup if the phone doesn't even boot?
Sorry, I'm new to this...

from the recovery, by holding down the vol down button and power button. then select recovery.
also, im in the same boat as OP haha
Okay. I managed to boot my phone and am able to send/receive texts. The rom I used? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367701] It seems to work pretty well. However, I would still like to have the original rom if someone could still upload it.
VM USA Stock Clockwork Backup
Well, I don't know much about stuff like this, but here is my clockwork mod recovery backup. It's just the stock VM USA w/HTC Sense. I have realized that I deleted the bloatware, so that's the only thing that isn't 100% stock. Hope it helps.
*Unzip the file before placing on you sd card. (Contains the clockwork folder, which contains the backup folder,and then the folder that contains the backup itself.)*

Is this a good rom? I'm looking for some senseless roms that will work with our version of the WFS. will you post if you are able to go back to the Stock Virgin backup that I have posted? Also how much memory is on the rom that you posted?
With the a2sd enabled, you get 150 to 175. It's nice.

Thanks for the backup! It worked perfect for me!
would you mind if i posted the link on another forum? i know of a couple people looking for a backup aswell.
You should be able to switch back with the recovery no problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to install boot into recovery, install from SD, select specific, and select the zip of the rom. Also, I don't have my phone on me so the wording might be a little different.
MMS is a known issue with the rom from what I've read. I don't have it installed personally.
@brandonhun, Thank you so much. You're a life saver. As far as the rom goes, it still have sense on it and there are tons of MMS errors. So just wait and eventually something will pop up.

Just a heads up wieland, when you get a voice mail and you try to check it from the notifications make sure it's your number, because I ended up giving brandonhun a call. Going through the activation app and rebooting fixed the problem.

I haven't done this ROM change but if its the stock HTC Sense go to personalize and get HTC widgets (perhaps its get more HTC widgets) and you should find an update to the clock widget. That should give you the original clock plus a bunch more new ones.

First off, this is in the wrong forum. You should be posting this in the section for the rom you are trying to flash. Second off, infected rom is not a rom that I am aware of, that is a website that has quite a few roms on it though. Please elaborate what rom you are trying to flash exactly and I will try to help you out.
sorry for posting in the wrong section .i will post from now on in the question and answer portion of this forum and again im sorry about this ,however, the rom i am trying to use is the infected rom / eternity and what im trying to say is i downloaded the rom to my computer i connected my phone and downloaded the rom to my sd card so when i go to flash the rom i see it but i guesss its not zipped ? i click the rom and it tells me data.system meta.inf

You are most likely using Safari which automatically unzips stuff, you will need to disable that for it to be fixed, open Safari then go to Preferences>General tab>uncheck Open "safe" files after download... And re-download the ROM. The ROMs are supposed to be zipped, happened to me all the time with my Hero back in the day lol.
i just unchecked it and will download it again .i will let you know if this worked wow you guys are great man
That's interesting, and kinda dumb. Does it do it with all types of zip files including apk's?

Should fix it, like I said, Safari automatically unzipping ROMs is bad as they are supposed to be zipped, and the unzipping breaks the files signature.

If that doesn't work for you, you could always try downloading directly from your phone and see if that makes the difference. I would have never had that answer though cause I always download from my windows laptop or directly from my phone. Although, I have found RCmix3d to run better on my phone that eternity anyway. I do love virus' work, but he never really finished eternity and is now mostly working on other phones. R46 was just released though, and nobody knows what was changed, so hopefully the issues are fixed. My problem with eternity was that I kept missing text messages, which can't happen for me. Let us know how this goes and I might even try eternity again if the issues are fixed. Good Luck! If not, I suggest either RCmix3d or PrimeXL3d, they are both basically the same as eternity and have both worked better for me at this point
yes i use safari all the time lol ill keep you posted haha .i hope this works

Great, I'm glad bmxrider helped you out on this one. Please do let me know what happens with the new eternity, mainly if your text messages all come through.

i will let you know .it looks delicious my god this virus dude is sick man wow great and very smooth .it took some time to load but hey its really nice
I cannot find any development for the 3G version of the Pro 8.4
I bought one today and the standard bloatful ROM on this thing won't even allow me to use Google services... so it is quite useless.
Please point me in the right direction or tell me when a T-321 ROM or Recovery is going to be available.
Very surprised to see zero development for this which is obviously superior to the WiFi-only version.

Hi! I know 100% how you feel. I got a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and there were 0 roms for it so I ended up creating the first one. I don't have the device which you have but I can create a rom for you (or at least try to). I can't guarantee if it will work or not but we can use trail and error if you are up for it. Let me know if that's cool with you.

No worries: I actually am just finishing downloading the stock rom for your device. It's very slow speed from the website. So what I will do is once it finishes downloading I will upload it to google drive and give you the link so you can have a fast download.
As for the rom i'm going to have to do a little bit of research before making it so it will take me a bit. I don't mean to scare you or threaten but if it doesn't work please don't hold me responsible for any damage. Although I don't think anything bad will happen. Worst case scenario I have seen with my tablet is I end up flashing stock again.

Yea, its the Chinese one. That is how I got into this mess...I can access google drive via my VPN service so it should work.
I know the risks involved in playing with custom ROMs.. thanks for the warning though. As long as I have a reliable, non-chinese stock rom it should be fine to test stuff.
thanks so much.

Yea, its the Chinese one. That is how I got into this mess...I can access google drive via my VPN service so it should work.
I know the risks involved in playing with custom ROMs.. thanks for the warning though. As long as I have a reliable, non-chinese stock rom it should be fine to test stuff.
thanks so much.

Sounds good. It's still uploading at 72% right now. You know how to flash it via odin right?

Steps:
Download: https://mega.co.nz/#!UdRRyCAT!H4FyVxYynNWvXqRNmnpMGQRCP-dG3uykgP2pT4rh8Ek
Then:
Extract the zip:
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes
Here is the link to the firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUUcfwWqMGYdUh1cmo2eUY2NzQ/edit?usp=sharing
Verify after downloading that the file is 1.22GB zipped
Oh...I actually need a non-chinese ROM.. Im sorry I didnt make that clear.
The CHN one probably doesnt have google account functionality. At least, the stock Chinese model I bought today doesnt. Maybe this is different. I will try. Otherwise, I might ask you to download the North American stock for me if it is not too much trouble.
Sorry for the hassle. What I need is to be able to add my google account and sync data/games.
I will sleep now (its 2:30am here). I'll update you in 7 hours or so on my progress. Thanks!

Oh sorry about that. Actually they don't have a North American version they only have 3 versions for it. I'll try to upload a different one and share it with you.

If you flashed with odin you should have gotten to the first time setup. Did you try the second firmware I gave to you?

I tried the second firmware and it worked! Mission accomplished. Google Accounts and services are working (clash of clans has been synced!)
Thanks so much. PM me your bitcoin address and I will buy you a beer.
EDIT:
This firmware is doing alot of random restarts unfortunately :|
Better than nothing I suppose. I will look around for a fix.
Well I'm glad the firmware worked out for you. I'm going to start working on the custom rom today so hopefully I can get it finished by day after tomorrow. As for the bit coin thing, I'm 14 so no can do.
But if you would like to give me a little something how about a google play credit code?
Edit: just saw the thing about the restart issue. I'll look into it as I have no clue why it would do that on stock.

Very nice of you to do that for him. I don't have his device (I have the T900), but it's nice to see people helping others.

Thank you so much for the play store card! That was an awesome gift! =)
By the way, I have started on the custom rom. I'm still trying to figure out which things to remove as I have to be careful cause I don't have the device to test.
