[Q] Trouble Flashing hboot cm7 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I wonder if someone could help with a problem I'm having trying to flash HBOOT CM7.
I am s-off with revolutionary and with 4ext recovery.
This is what I've been doing:
- full wipe / factory reset using 4ext
- go to fastboot and use Android flasher to flash CM7 which it does successfully as I can see the pink heading change to CM7 on the phone's HBOOT screen.
- Boot into recovery
- Recovery opens but I get the error messages E can't open cache ... ... ... and it continuously reboots.
At this point I return to fastboot flash back to stock HBOOT and all is well.
I had a search for this problem and the advice was to completely wipe before the flashing the CM7 HBOOT. The first time I hadn't done this but the second and third time I did. The third time was with a new download.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Bad download of the image maybe. Did you downloaded it again and checked the file. More info on the way you flashed your hboot would be great.

Phone would most likely be bricked if that was the case.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.

Try "fastboot reboot-bootloader" And Then "fastboot erase cache" After flashing cm7r2
That should resolve The problem

I had to reflash the cmr7 hboot file from fastboot 1time again after the first time....had a recovery bootloop....kept on refreshing over and over. After the second flash of the ext4 recovery all worked fine
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Depends if it affects the bootloader, in this case the problem lies with the recovery that can ne flashed through the bootloader menu....or am i wrong ? Still learning here so don't know if i am right

HTC Dev is unreliable (not to mention more difficult as you have to flash the boot..img separately from the ROM in a separate zip in hboot)

I'm guessing that since your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to flash 4ext or CWM recovery through fastboot (search), and then flash SuperSU.zip (from Chainfire's thread) through recovery. That'll put Superuser.apk and the su binary in the system partition and give you root access.

flash it used fastboot (adb tools)
1.Turn off your phone
2. Hold the volume down button + power until you boot to a white screen.
3. Use the volume rocker to select FASTBOOT then press the power button to select it.
4. Connect your phone.
5. Open up a windows command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools or platform tools folder. tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\tools) or platform-tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) (ore where you have the adb)
6. Type FASTBOOT DEVICES to make sure your computer "sees" your phone and is ready to flash the recovery. You should get a serial number and then the word fastboot as the output.
7. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. Give it a minute to do it's thing. You should get a message that says writing recovery and success.
(you must have the recovery.img on the same place as fastboot)
8. Unplug your phone and use the volume rocker to select BOOTLOADER and then again to select RECOVERY and you should be booted into the recovery

Yes, but it's PD98IMG.zip, otherwise the phone won't recognize it . To flash recovery in fastboot in the suggested way you need ENG S-OFF, wich I don't actually recommend to flash, unless it's the modified ENG HBOOT in the Hack Kit. If you want to flash the PD98IMG.zip file in fastboot, follow this:
Boot in fastboot and plug the phone (you will see fastboot usb)
Open a CMD as Admin or Terminal as root in the PC (and navigate to where the file is located)
Now type in CMD:
fastboot oem rebootRUU (you will get a black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip <nameoffile.zip>
When it is done (you will see OKAY. finished at the bottom of the cmd session), type:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then check that is correctly installed.
If not just name the file PD98IMG.zip, put it in the root of the sdcard and reboot in hboot until you are prompted to update....:good:

running the Hack Kit with S-OFF is useless. It will probably jam you up. If you wan to root, then finde SU image and flash it or find the flashable zip file.
Here you are one: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip or find newer version here:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Thanks but I'm a bit of a noob...just wondering, does flashing su turn s-off back to s-on. If no then how do I activate s-on so I can run aahk?

No, flashing SU will give you root access. If you are already S-OFF don't run the Hack Kit. The hack kit does exactly that...gives you S-OFF and Root....there's no need to do that again.
Just out of curiousity, since I didn't activate the s-off, what are the chances of this being done using HTC dev?
Also, should this be the case, is is gonna affect the root process in any way? I just wonna be sure that I don't miss anything before rooting, especially since the last time I did something like this successfully was 2 years ago on a G1:

Well, you will see Recovery work. It will flash the file and follow the instructions in the Binary Updater file. It usually replaces the old version and push the new one.
There's nothing to do but to flash the file. You don't need to wipe anything at all...It is quite simple actually. Just reboot when are told to do so...nothing can go wrong.

ClockworkMod recovery and HTC One X

Right, I've had a look around the forum a bit now for help with my issue but decided it's time to post my own thread.
I unlocked and rooted my phone a while back installed clockwork recovery and CM 9. I now want to upgrade to the latest version of CM but my recovery won't boot up...
I've tried downloading the CWM manager to my phone and re flashing from there and tried flashing other recovers and yet it still tried Clock work mod flashes on and immediately off and my phone reboots...
Can anyone lend me their knowledge?
Thanks.
Put recovery.img in the fastboot folder
Put your phone in fastboot mode
Open dosprompt ( cmd prompt )
Go to fastboot folder
Type :
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
And then enter recovery
I suggest you flash the latest cmw recovery 5.8.4.0

Currently at work so will try this when i get back home.
Although, im sure this is the process i followed when trying to fix the problem before posting this thread.
Will update.
i have the htc AT&T and everytime i load clockworkmod it just boots to the htc logo and stays there
twrp will take but it wont work right, "Failed to mount cache"
If its getting messy. Download the recovery and flash it via the htc one x toolkit in dev section. No commands just clicking LOL.
You put the zip into the recovery folder.connect yoir phone then just flash recovery. Personally twrp recovery works better. More options..

Twrp is failing too, I even locked the bootloader ran ruu then unlocked and rooted, Twrp let me root but won't install another rom. Fails to mount cache.

[Q] I did a really stupid thing (Formatted HTC One X ... completely)

So yeah ... Hi
Yesterday evening I decided that I was sick of HTC Sense and wanted to unlock my bootloader, root my HTC One X and install cyanogenmod.
When I got, what appeared to be a bootloop, I panicked and did something really stupid. I kinda decided that it was a good idea to go into my ClockworkMod Recovery and formatted everything, including data and system.
Now I can't do anything with my phone of course. Also there appears to be no way to access the SD card inside and I can't take it out.
I have no recoveries or backup's and my laptop does not detect my phone at all.
Please help me, I would like to get my phone fixed as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance
If you have the latest version of Clockworkmod just go to 'mounts and storage' and mount usb storage. Afterwards, copy your ROM zip onto the sdcard

You need to look in the search for one x one click tool (there are others) and use that. There will be instructions on the thread though it's pretty self explanatory. Don't panic your phone will be fine but I'd turn it off as you read or you will cause yourself more hassle. Im typing this as I walk so can't be more helpful.

Download this recovery
http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs
Rename it to recovery.img and copy it to the fastboot folder on the pc, now put the phone in fastboot usb mode (hold power and volume down button until it restarts into the bootloader)
Flash it with fastboot
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot erase cache
Then enter recovery and mount the sdcard as usb drive and copy the Rom.zip over. Boot back into bootloader with this command
Adb reboot bootloader
Flash the boot.img from the rom.zip from fastboot (copy it from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder on pc, just like the recovery)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter recovery and do a full wipe and install the rom.zip from the menu "install zip from sdcard"
Should do it !
Ok, thanks for all the great info guys. Because of you I am now able to connect my phone to my pc however I installed cyanogenmod 10 and somehow it flashed the boot.img and it still does not boot. The only thing I get to see is the HTC screen and that is what it stays on. Does anyone have any more tips to solve this and let me boot into my cyanogenmod?
Hboot version?

2 things could be - or your HBOOT version is too low or you haven't flashed the boot.img of the rom before/after the installation

hmmm.... no... i mean if he had like an 1.12 version he can't install JB roms untill he updates to 1.3x HBOOT or will happen what happen to him - he will stuck on the boot... am i wrong?
That only applies to Sense ROMs.
On CM10 and some other AOSP roms it's the other way around: they only run on older hboots and updating hboot results in bootloop.
It can be fixed though, but we need his hboot version.

Like I said, it can be fixed. You only have to flash a kernel which is modified to work with newer hboots. It is is post 9308 in CM10 thread. And fyi: GPS is not functional on this kernel.

[Q] Finally took the plunge and rooted it, but can't do anything else?

Finally rooted the phone today, but when I try to go into an alternate recovery, or install a ROM (which I've never done before) the phone reboots (like it should I'm assuming) begins to load what I told it to do, and then I get an image of my phone with a red question mark above it, and my phone just reboots again.
What's causing this?

How are you flashing the recovery. The description you are describing is the stock recovery to flash a new recovery do it in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery name of recovery here)
Get the all in one tool from the dev section and it will do it for you.
All you need to do is choose which one you want CDMA or gsm, twrp or cwm (i prefer twrp for the one v)

'Ok the All in one tool worked. I flashed TWRP, wiped my caches and installed AOKP JB 4.1.2, i've got the "Initiating swagger" screen, how long should this take?It's been about 10 minutes...
So as far as i can tell, the rom install failed because i didnt complete the wipe (because the wipe through TWRP failed...) what causes this?
It will say it failed because the sd-ext didn't wipe (THAT'S A GOOD THING) the /sd-ext is your SD card lol. So did you get into the actual ROM for aokp? So when you clicked swaggerfy it froze? Hmm I'd try a different ROM or different kernel what kernel are u using. I reccomend Jan 3rd super slick (anything newer breaks the camera).
Edit: i noticed you said caches? Do did you click factory reset? I usually do factory and dalvik but i think factory does it all.

I hope I get a fairly quick response to this Followed some advide in that thread, flashed a kernel (I thought) using the All In One Tool, ever since, I've been stuck in a bootloop. Obviously I have access to my bootloader and TWRP (thankfully). My recovery backup returns the same results though.
Im new to this so I'll try toprovide all the info I can.
Followed the TUT on how to Unlock Bootloader and Root 2 days ago.
Yesterday, using the All In One tool, flashed TWRP onto phone.
Was unable to Flash AOKP JellyBean 4.1.2 so I asked for help again (ROM was flashed, but stuck on Initiating Swagger Boot)
Tried using All-In-One to flash (what I thought was) a kernel, since then, my phone just boots continuously or not at all (depending on if I wipe or whatnot)
While at work, I was able to Flash the AOKP rom and Boot into it, but after about 1 minute of use, it reboots.
This is where I'm at now.
My bootloader says
***UNLOCKED***

I'm using the latest version (2.3.3.) of TWRP
Is there anyway I can find, and delete, the boot.img I flashed with All-In-One, that caused this bootloop?
Found out why: radio is the new version aka .0928
HTC provided a new radio release and it screwed up being able to flash new JB roms. The fixable solution is to find the virgin mobile ruu exe and do that long process to get the old radio: .0521_2(?) back. I'll link you to the ruu thread in a sec let me find it first

Do NOT charge it over night. It damages the battery, and this is experience talking to you. Leave your phone charging for 3 hours, and that's sufficient.

All right do this.
Create a folder as fastboot on c drive of PC(hope you're on windows)
Download fast boot files.
Put in c:/Fastboot
Go in fastboot mode on phone.
It should say fastboot USB.
Open command prompt.
Type cd c:/fastboot/
Hit enter. The prompt should say this address now.
Type your fast boot command you want

Please help me with my HTC desire HD not booting

Well hello guys, first let me explain what happend.
Last sunday i rooted my HTC Desire HD and everything went well. First I installed the latest miui rom with desire hd support from miuiandroid.com . But then i heard more about jelly bean roms and today installed codefireX's R19 version of his rom. But when i found out that it did not work with whatsapp I decided to change back to miui. Since i had made a nandroid backup of MIUI I thought i could use that. And this is where the problems started appearing. I hit the restore button in my recovery and the restore was succesfull, but when it rebooted nothing happened. I got the HTC logo, but after that I got only a backlit black screen. Wich then went completely black with a little noise comming from my phone After a few seconds it rebooted again and went straight into recovery. I have tried all my nandroid backups, but none worked. I even tried flashing MIUI from scratch, but that only send me into a bootloop in wich i could see the MI logo and then nothing.
So whatever i do, it just wont boot. I can get into recovery and the bootloader, but nothing more. Please help me guys, i searched all over the internet but have not found anything like my problem. Have I broken my phone??:crying:
Hey guys, well after a lot of trying and patience if finaly got my Phone to work again:laugh:. I flashed android revolution and that booted right up. But i still wonder why Clockwork restore didn't work
did you unlock bootloader with the official htc tool? if you did, recovery cant restore your kernel, similar to when you flash a rom. in this case, you should be fine flashing kernel like you do when flashing a rom
if that is not the case, it is probably just a corrupted backup. it does happen sometimes

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, have you fastboot flashed the boot.img?
Hey th0mas_, well I did use the htcdev way of unlocking my bootloader. So i guess that that is probably the whole problem. But just a noob question, how do i flash a kernel?? Tnx ahead guys, still a bit to anxious to flash a new rom though hahaha.
And to you gray, i just needed to have a lot of patience, after a few minutes of quietly brilliant. It just booted into the setup. But you do have to flash the boot.img first before it will boot.

If you are s-on, then recovery cannot install the boot.img. It seems you are s-off so the recovery can install boot.img so no need to flash the boot.img

You've done a full wipe؟؟؟؟
1 - full wipe ( with delvik + cache ) in recovery
2 - install your rom ( if your rom have problem try another rom)
3 - extract boot.img from your rom zip file and copy to fastboot folder
4 - and go to fastboot and type this command :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
if again show error try with another rom
i hope solved
