[Q] (Q) Issues with flashing etc on Desire

Well, I have rooted my phone with unrevoked it installed the recovery mod 2.5.0.7 and I'm a bout to flash my phone. Thing is though I've been here for a while.
The story goes like this.. Relatively chronological..
I download HBOOT drivers install them on my Windows 7 64bit. I then download and run unrEVOked3, hook up my phone and choose charge only. unrevoked3 does it's thing and everything seems fine. I partition the SDcard with 6,5gb fat32 and 1gb ext4. Then i go into recovery i then go to wipe data/factory reset and chose it. Then i cant find dalvik data at first but i later find it, so i wipe that. Then I chose to install zip from sdcard which earlier moved. The InsertCoin A2SD+ 1.0.9 mod.
It starts up finds the file and starts flashing or so it seems.
It stops, and I cant remember the error message. So, I go searching cant really find anything except the fact that I should have wiped cache partitions also.. So I go back do a full wipe again and run it.
Then I get this error message: ( i tried again with a Cyanogen mod, and i got assert_failed write_raw_image...)
- assert failed: Package_extract_file("boot.img","/tmp/boot.img")
E: Error in /sdcard/InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1_A2SD+_1.0.9.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted..
I then find the baadnwz irc and ask for help there.. repartition my sdcard with gparted, and run through it all again...
Same error..
I then notice that CWMR is saying:
E: Cant fint MISC:
E: Cant mount Cache:recovery/command
E:Cant find misc:
E:Cant mount cache:recovery/log
E: cant fin misc:
I ask if this is normal, NO, is the clear answer i get.. so i test different things, new repartition correct sized and everything..
Still same..
Then I go and download the Froyo RUU and install it reset everything (of course i forgot to sync my contacts..) and i do everything from the top root, cwrm and try flashing but the same errors are still there..
So i then create this thread hoping that this error already isnt here after search.. And hoping someone can help me..?
I'm running the HTC Desire on HBOOT 0.93.0001, radio 5.11.05.27.
Worst thing is no matter how many times i wiped the different things no changes were made on the phone, when i rebooted i still got up my original bckgrnd image and everything...
So, what is going on?

It might be worth watching a few vids and reading a few guides. Here's a start http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084. Also, don't worry. I messed up too when I first started to root and flash.
I can't remember what the status 7 error is and how to fix it. Think it's just to re-download the rom and try again.

If you have PVT4 device, you need to use AmonRA recovery.
I guess you're S-ON? If S-OFF try recovery from my sig.

Ironically I have used the tutorial in the development forum.. Used all the videos i could find, except s-off cause i was told i didnt have to do that when i was just flashing a new ROM..
How do i know if i have a pvt4 device?
edit: i found out.. im a pvt4 device..

Then root again, download recovery from my sig unpack .img and choose "custom recovery" in unrevoked and select it.
You can also use AmonRA recovery.
Or if you don't want to root again, S-OFF and flash new recovery in fastboot.
I don't really understand why they made CWM default recovery in unrevoked, people have so many issues with it. :-(

Somehow, installing alpharev and s-offing the phone, and then installing a new recovery helped me. Im now running cyanogen 7 om my phone

[Q] Recovery not working, can't install ROM [Solved]

Hey all, I was trying to switch from G2 HBOOT to the Desire Z HBOOT. I was following the guide and it seemed to work ok. I am not a complete noob when it comes to flashing ROM and using ADB, but it seems I have done something wrong. I don't think my phone is bricked, but I can't do anything with it.
I can't seem to boot into my current ROM (an MIUI ROM), so I am trying to reinstall the ROM. I can reboot into bootloader and recovery from ADB. But when I reboot into Clockwork Recovery, none of the options work. Below the yellow line in CWR I see the following:
ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.0.2.4
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
When I select one options (e.g. Install zip from sdcard) it just gives me a black screen with the ROM Manager logo (the funny black hat with the orange circle).
All I want to do is flash a ROM so I can use my phone. I don't care if I have to do a full wipe of everything. I tried finding a way to update CWR, but the link in the thread doesn't seem to point anywhere. I also searched for a way to flash a ROM using fastboot, but none of the options seem to be for the G2.
Options I could use most:
1. How to mount system and wipe
2. How to install ROM via adb/fastboot
3. How to install the latest ClockworkMod Recovery
Any help would be appreciated.

First thing is your SD Card sound?
Are you sure changing hboot work 100% ?
Should be able to mount/wipe from recovery,
you can flash a recovery from fastboot,download the recovery .img look around for the instructions goes something like flash recovery recovery.img
Stick with v.3.0.2.4 as well
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
You need the vision version
Or as the two other posts mention don't use the power button to select things!!!!!!!

The errors you are getting are normal after changing hboots.
What button are you using to select items in cwm?

Don't use power to select stuff in clockwork.
use either trackpad or camera button.

You know guys, I make a promise to myself every morning that I won't think like, act like, or in any way be like a noob. Today I broke my promise.
Thanks guys. Honestly, I never had a problem using the power button to select options before, so that's why this was totally freaking me out and I didn't even think that that might be the problem. But now I have installed a new ROM and am up and running again.

[Q] GPS not working HTC Desire HD with Jelly Miui 3.1.11 Custom ROM

I have installed the Jelly Miui 3.1.11 custom ROM on my HTC Desire HD, and i'm loving this ROM execpt my GPS is not working (but 3G and WI FI working fine).
Is there something wrong with my install or are these comon bugs with this custom rom?
Does anyone know a fix for these problems?
HISTORY (I am noob but have somehow got this far without bricking my phone)
1. I rooted my phone last year with the ace hack kit from XDA which enabled me to break free.
2. First I installed [Blackout ICS Incredible v3.0.0.0] custom ROM which was exciting for first cutom ROM experience but only OK.
3. I then tried [CodefireX 4.2 Builds by synergye] which was OK but I found it bad 3G and GPS bugs.
4. I have now installed [JellyMIUI_3.1.11_v2] which is AWESOME but GPS not working (So disappointed as this is the best ROM by far so far).
Note: Whenever installing custom ROM's I have followed install instructions on XDA thread for the ROM and installed ROM zip file from SD card via ClockworkMod.
Note: XDA [JellyMIUI_3.1.11_v2] install instructions suggest to Full wipe using this "FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_" ZIP file before installing the ROM zip. At this stage during wipe I get the following error when it gets to Formatting Cache stage:
/cache unmounted E: Error in / sdcard/FULL_WIPE_1.5_EXT4_.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted.
E: Can't open /cache/recovery log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery last_log
Even though I get this error during wipe I continue to install the [JellyMIUI_3.1.11_v2] zip from sd card after the Full Wipe error and the ROM seems to install ok (except my GPS doesn't work)?
Other Notes:
While using [JellyMIUI_3.1.11_v2] I received a notification that an OTA update to 3.1.18 was available, however when I select the update it fails to download.
I then updated to 3.1.18 via clockworkmod update from zip which worked, however still no GPS and also now no WI FI available.
I then downgraded back to 3.1.11 via clockworkmod update from zip again, still no GPS but WI FI is working again.
PLEASE HELP

[Q] Soft-Bricked phone, would like to restore to Stock OS

I was having some problems connecting to my mobile network, I couldn't access Google Play Store, I couldn't read Chinese well enough to figure out how to download and install new apps from China's playstore, so I decided to flash a custom OS on my P6 to play around with.
These are the steps I've taken and where it's led me to now -
Installed TWRP on my phone
Installed ADB and Fastboot onto my computer
Turned on Developer Mode and enabled USB debugging
Copied new OS Zip into my memory card
Restarted phone into TWRP recovery
Followed instructions to wipe dalvik, cache, data, and system (I'll try to find the link after this post)
Attempted to install the new OS (Failed due to incompatibility, stupid me)
Tried Sideloading an official Huawei released OS from their website (Failed to recognize my device on adb)
Tried Rebooting my device into Bootloader and attempted to load a Zip to force update my phone (and displayed "e:failed to mount /cache")
Flipped through xda and thought I needed Stock Recovery to load an official OS, so I fastboot flashed it in
Rebooted my phone into Recovery, saw "wipe data/factory reset", so I attempted that (displayed "E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
So... I'm stuck here, not sure what to do next because I think I'm just breaking my phone more than I'm trying to make it work... Can anyone help me out here? ._."

By the steps you've taken i can tell you are on stock recovery at this moment and with no system installed on phone, so i would suggest you downloading an official stock rom (update.app file) and put it in dload folder in a SD card and try to install. Now one thing that you should be aware before attempting this is to make sure you have the same version of OS as the one before, either JB or KK. Good luck.

Stuck in Cyanogenmod Boot Logo

i flashed my phone with Cyanogenmod a few month ago and everything worked
fine. But when i start the phone now, its stuck on cyanogenmod boot logo.
Safestrap 4.01 ( TWRP v2.7.1.0)
I can get into safestrap but i cant install, restore or flash a new rom.
It seems like i cant write on the internal memory anymore.

E:unable to mount /data
E:unable to mount internal storage
E: unable to mount datamedia/media/0/ during gui startup
E: unable to mount datamedia/media/0/TRWP/.twrps when trying to read settings file.

I am not shure, that the root is the same, but I got stuck the same after updating from my original CM from 2016-2 to any newer version.
In my case a swipe (reset to factory defaults) in safestrap helped.
Good luck
