Hello first off all. I dont know if anyone else here got the same problem but I could not find anyone.
Hello, I tried to root my DHD to get ICS (i know it is not yet done). But after i tried to update it or install it i cant boot Android... It's getting stuck on the HTC logo, however I can boot into bootloader and into clockworkmod v4.0.1.4.
So now I want to get back to stock, root it properly, take a backup (YES i forgot to do it -.-) and try again to get ICS.
Anything else u need?
Before i rooted i think i had 3.12.405.1, but i am not sure.
I also updated to Sense 3.0
And i am banned from the hack kit irc. (i asked for help and they helped me a bit, but not enough, I did NOT ask for passkey)
btw. I am new to this root and flash things so i hope u be noobfriendly
Thanks for any answer.
And I did try to reroot it. (I KNOW, bad idea)
Anyone got any ideas? :C
Ifyou have access to cwr did you wipe and flash a new rom? Push come to shove you can always reflash an ruu.
I think i wiped and tried to install CM, but then the boot was already screwed (i think, i cant remember)? what do u mean about "push come to shove you can always reflash an ruu"?
Is it just to download the ruu .zip file and flash it? (Want back to stock)
Correct. Just download your pd98img.zip place in root of SD card and flash in hboot. Or alternatively download the ruu.execonnect your phone to pc. Go into hboot and select fastboot and run the program from your pc
I have used the ICS for a few days, after I root failed(on 2.3.5 with sense3 RUU). Taste good but the Camera doesnt work on ICS4. I do it like this:
1. Flash your DHD to 2.3.3 with the RUU.
2. ROOT it via aahk-17122011
3. Flash the ICS_BeatMod_Beta_v6.1 via clockworkmod to your DHD
then, Taste it!
ITS my first post here. If I do something wrong, tell me pls.

My brother would like to thank you. You saved his life. I just rooted my DHD and he decide to flash some rom without my permission. First he installed CM7 but he didnt like it and decided to flash BinDroid. Idk what he did then. He said he started to flash it via ROM manager...So first he flashed BinDroid_EXT4_FULL_WIPE.zip ..So i guess he wiped everything.Phone worked only in CWM but never started.Couldnt recover earlier version.Stucked with HTC logo and thats all. So i've tried to flash another ROM in CWM but no matter what foldier i place zip i could never see it when i have to browse zip to install. Readed dosens of manuals of flashing.They said i have to rename the ROM i want to flash - update.zip and then it would be recognized..Never happen. So i just decided to buy new phone and break his neck when i saw this thread .Idk what is root folder - some ppl say its the main folder of your card,without any sub folders,other say i should create new folder - root and put it there. But when i putted your file in main SD card folders it didnt "see" it. When i putted it in Root folder it didnt see the folder at all. By "it" i mean me when i was browsing in CWM. So then i putted this file u say in a empty folder of my card that i could see when i CWM. So i again reboot in CWM,browsed to it and saw the file there. Installing didnt help. It said error and file could not be installed..In a pure despiration moment i decided to chose update from CWM and bloody hell...it recognized the file u said to install and started to install BinDroid ROM?! I guess i forgot BinDroid rom named as update.zip,when i was trying to flash it.So now my brother is alive thanks to you. IDK what and how i did it and how to update new roms from now on but at least i have my phone..

So I should just use the ruu .zip and unroot it, then root it, wipe all data, and then install the ICS_Beatmod?
Ok, after i have rooted it, shall i run the hmod for the PD98IMG? And BTW. It says that i am S-ON in the bootloader....
1. install the PD98IMG.
2. Run the RUU .exe
3. root it
4. run the hmod for installing the "PD98IMG" again? when i am in the bootloader it asks me if i want to update. (Allready there is says i am S-ON)
5. removing the PD98IMG (manualy, not from the hackkit)
6. Wont go to Clockworkmod.
7. Still S-ON
8. ???????????
Shall i delete the HTCsync drivers that is on my phone?
I had to root it twice, but now I am stuck on boot graphics... Do i have to install the new kernell too?
nvm. got everything worked out now
dude if you can access CWM, just push any ROM to your sd card via adb, flash it, use it until the camera issue is fixed and then enjoy ICS. Don't go back to stock. I have adb in CWM thus you should too. These custom roms are much better than stock and if you want the interface just pick one with Sense.

Ever since I updated to the last OTA I have lost clockworks recovery image. Thus now I am unable to install the latest froyo rom.
I have tried to install the latest clockworks recovery image and Amon_Ra recovery through Rom Manager. Each time it states it is installed but everytime I try to boot up to the recovery image it gives me the following error:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
and it just gives me the Android System Recover <2e>
Any help would be appreciated....
It sounds like you are not rooted.
If you accepted the OTA from Sprint using your system update on your phone, you are no longer rooted and will not have a custom recovery/root permissions. You will be unable to flash any custom recovery/ROMS/delete any sprint apps/Other Root only things until someone comes up with a way to root 2.2.
Have a drink in hopes that a dev will come up with a way to Root 2.2 soon!
I didnt update over the phone
What happened is I installed a rooted verson of 1.47.651.1 but in doing that it got rid of the recovery image... it definetly a rooter version because i can run apps that require root.. such as wife tether titanium back etc...
any other suggestions...

there's an update.zip around here somewhere that will allow you to boot into an early form of clockwork recovery.
so, assuming that you goofed something, but still have nand unlocked....
find that update.zip. put it and a .zip for a real recovery onto your sdcard. boot into hboot, let it run the update.zip, that will take you to koush's early clockwork recovery. use that recovery to flash a solid recovery.
done.
alternative method would be to use fastboot to erase the recovery partition, then put a new recovery in.
Here is the update.zip...Just extract Recovery.zip....Do this OR/AND what the Senior Member above said and you should be good

I actually tried the update.zip one already and it doesnt install... it will stated that the signature cant be verified and it will about the installation... havent tried the fastboot approach... I guess I will need to find out how to do that now
so from the looks of it I am screwed... I have hboot .79 if that matters and from the looks of it the rooted rom i installed screwed up my nand unlock.. which is why i think i can install any recovery images... i tried alot of the nand unlock tutorials and most of them I eventually get to a point were i need to write to /data and i cant because permissions are denied... great... oh well i'll keep on trying... any suggestions are appreciated...
If you still have super user, try this...same thing happend to me.

I'm having a very similar problem also. My Hboot is 0.79.000 too & after trying clockworkmod recovery, a few RUU update attempts, and attempting to change ROMs completely (not in that order) I'm at a loss, no success anywhere. I can't even get in to recovery anymore. It just reverts back to Bootloader menu where my options are Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, or Power down (& I think there is one other option that i tried and sent me back to the aforementioned screen). However, I can still load my pre-existing ROM...
Does anyone have any ideas if there is anything I can do?
TIA

you can erase recovery from rom manager and try to reflash. i would recommend reinstalling rom manager just to make sure it installed correctly. it installed bad on me once and corrupted my recovery trying to update it, reinstalled and installed an old recovery then the newest one and it worked.
Thanks for the suggestions all. I followed the instructions from link you posted using terminal emulator. No such luck, still reading HBOOT 0.79.0000 and running same ROM.
I also tried reinstalling (several times) clockworkmod recovery images and it effects nothing.
Should I try to completely unroot my phone again? If the images i just flashed didn't do it what will?
Im totally at a loss here. ARG!
hit there jtwonbly.......are you also running the stock rooted 1.47.651.1?
Build number 1.47.651.1 CL195459 release-keys
yea same here......and what is it that your trying to do...go back to stock ROM?
I'd like to go to any other ROM. Its as if I'm no longer rooted anymore.
I think I may try to start all over again using NeckFaces old tutorial on unlocking NAND w/o adb. I'm just not sure if that will fix the HBOOT file because I can't get in to Recovery.
OK Guys thanks for all your help but I have been able to get it fixed now!!!
I pretty much had to redo all of Toast Root tutorial and NAND unlock to get it working. Both Part 1 and Part 2 even though I was already running a rooted rom.
The original problem I had is I kept getting told to just try the nand unlock in part 2 but the phone wasnt having it. It wouldnt like the engineering build of the pc36img.zip
So I started from Part 1. Downloaded the rooted rom pc36img.zip and what do you know it finally let me install it. By the time I was done with both parts 1 and 2 I was able to flash a recovery image, get back to hboot .76 and I am now another proud owner of an Evo running a rooted Froyo!!!!
hi,
as far as i found out today it was recommended not to install the OTA-update that has been provided by HTC because I would lose my Root-rights.
Since this is not a problem for me I wanted to install it - but it fails everytime with messages like
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
[...]
Would it make sense to install it maunally? the download over the air was no problem, so i could easily put it into root-folder, rename it and install it manually. but do i have any other negative side effects except losing rootrights?

andre
Bootloops for one..
The cleaner way to run it, is to run the RUU (Do create a goldcard before you do), then run the OTA as update.zip, as Nature intended..
And why on earth would you need an OTA on a rooted phone. Just get the latest rooted ROM which would be more uptodate..If you just dont want root, do as above..
Well, no in this case it's just run the 2.29.405.2 RUU then you've not got to bother about the OTA!!
First i try to install as "zip from sd" with clockwork. But I become bootlooping phone.
Then I try to install with goldcard. All was ok. But when am try to install an app from market, my phone restarted at the point of installation.
Is any other way to update without RUU with clockwork?

In a word, no. You can try a hard reset but best way is to flash the RUU. Gold card only needed if you have a branded hendset

the major disadvantage is loosing all information. or is titanium backup able to restore everything? i don't believe so.

Titanium works on rooted phones, so you could flash stock, root it and then restore
does someone know why installing this OTA-upgrade is failing with signature-message?
Don't flash it if you're rooted - simple as that!!!
understood that. but i want to get some more infos on that.
beside this, since i have to flash a new rom anyway: which is a very good rom you are using? will everything be restored by titanium backup, or will the screens e.g. not be backuped and restored?
I'm on stock 2.29.405.2 and not rooted. It's a good ROM. You'll need to obviously root your phone again to restore the backup
bad loop... ;-)
get back to official rom with OTA but without restoring the backup... or stay on root... i think i will stay on root now. i will try the update this evening and check for the restore how far it works...
thanks for your effort.
HELP!!!
i tried now several times to install a shipped rom (2.10.405.2, 2.29.405.2), but it is not working! it restarts my desire, and it stays with the black screen and white HTC letters... error 171 is displayed afterwards... how can i resolve it? i tried already to download a rom as zip and tried to install it via unrevokedrecovery 2.5.0.7 via "apply update.zip", but it didn't work as well.
can someone help me???
regards,
andre
edit: after installing htcsync it worked again...
YOU CANNOT DOWNLOAD A STOCK ROM AND FLASH IT VIA CLOCKWORK MOD!!!
How many more time does it have to be said????
If you wanna try flash a custom ROM you don't select 'apply update.zip' - you go to flash ROM from SD card and choose the ROM you want to flash. If you don't know how to use CWM why the hell ahve you rooted?!!?

I honestly didnt understand what you're trying.
If you want to get the system unrooted, back to stock, then:
Read FAQ 5 and get the PB99IMG.zip
After getting PB99IMG.zip, put it in root of sdcard/goldcard,
Switch Off
Switch on with Back and Power. Keep it pressed.
The system will detect the file and prompt
Press Vol+ to start the RUU
To install a custom rom, "Install zip file" from Clockworkmod.
4. Volume down + power, not back. Back will take you to FASTBOOT

You're right..From Fastboot, it's one additional key..
Got the notification earlier today, went ahead and started downloading the update. I turned on 4G, it couldn't get 4G so i turned on wifi when it was at 12%
Download completed, it rebooted, showed the proper update screen, and now it gets to about 15% of the progress bar then shows the slanted triangle with an exclamation mark in it and little android dude under it.
Rebooted, tried again and same thing.
I'm thinking cuz i switched from downloading via 3g to wifi maybe file is corrupt?
I deleted the update file from /sdcard/download and tried again and same thing...
any ideas?
---update--
i pressed discard and then went to back to check for software update and it re-downloaded it but same thing..
Is it cuz its rooted? do i have to remove the root to put the OTA?
btw, its my gf's evo.. if it was mine i'd probably be running some other rom.
--update2--
So i flashed stock recovery then tried again, same thing but this time different images during the install process and the error
Went over to unrevoked's site, installed the unrevoked-forever-son.zip (had to flash clockwork recovery to flash that zip)
That still didn't do it.
Now i'm trying to get stock recovery back on but it won't ask me if i want to install it. I have it as PC36IMG.zip on the root of my sd card. When i first get into HBOOT it shows checking PC36IMG.zip and then no option to press volume up to install/flash it.
ALso i unziped PC36IMG.zip and attempted to flash recovery.img via fastboot but i get this:
[codr]sending 'recovery' (3779 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)[/code]
Anyone know what to do?
I'm having the same issue! Also rooted. I'd really like to not have to flash it from recovery so I don't have to re-do all my settings.
I'm having similar issues, but I'm not as far as you have gone. =)
Could you help me out on reflashing the stock recovery? 3.70 is the first OTA that has come out since I rooted (with unrevoked3), so I'm no expert. I'm downloading a stock PC36IMG.zip, but I don't want to replace everything if I can help it.
Hopefully once I have a stock recovery again I can give you a hand. =)
I'm no expert by any means but, I was rooted when the 1st OTA came out. I just flashed joey-krims stock rom over top my stock rom. I just wiped cache & dalvik cache. Didn't do a factory reset. All apps and data were preserved. And I just flashed joeys most recent update over top the last update, same procedure, same results. Only thing that happed was my weather bug widget had to be put back on the screen.
Milage may vary.

Download the PC36IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card. Reboot device while holding volume down, give it a sec and it should prompt you volume up to flash volume down to cancel.
Flashing the recovery will not erase/replace anything but the recovery itself.
there is something that gets missed every time.
the ota will not work unless u r on an odex completely stock rom!!!
when i say complete i mean all apps that came with the stock rom have to still be on it also.
otherwise... dont be surprised if it wont work.
just flash a new rom instead... that would be the better sol here.

yea, same here. Wife and I were running errands so I ran the OTA on her handset - no issues. Tried it on mine and got the same error with the thing over the Android. doh!
If I pop the battery out I can use the phone but now i want the update.

I would flash factory rom as you are doing but if i don't get it back to how it was, my gf would ***** till i die...
Ok this is pretty simple, just did it on my coworkers Evo will be doing mine once I am off call,
1. Use Rom manager to install ra recovery
2. Boot to recovery, and flash zip from SD card ( this step assumes us have copied the downloaded zip using root explorer from cache dir and saved to sd card)
3. Select the OTA 370 blablabla.zip file
4. after flash completes, don't reboot yet, select apply zip from SD card again, and flash root (I used a file called 2.2 root.zip I found on these boards some where)
5. Reboot and when it finishes ur phone will be rooted and updated, running stock recovery
*** note I answered from my phone so I don't have any of the links or files, I will try to place links next time i am at my computer. this will just update and not wipe anything from the phone **

Was your co worker rooted and having the same issues with the update failing before you did all this?
This method didn't work for me.
During the install via RA recovery it errors out after

i get

NO you are correct, the 200MB PC36IMG.zip will reset everything!
I was referring to the stock recovery image (3 to 4MB file)
I noticed browsing through the forums and downloading files i need that different recovery and roms are name as PC36IMG.zip
So now everytime i download one, i either rename it or put it in a folder with the proper name..

Guess i have to wait for a better way to root the HBOOT 2.10 version

If you are trying to flash an RUU, do it through bootloader and not recovery...and as scottspa74 pointed out, if you want a custom ROM, put it a ROM on your sd card and flash it.
i have 3 rom but theres no way to flash it i cant get into recovery menu and the cmd says no device found
any idea how to flash it in another way
You need to flash a custom recovery first. When u did the ruu, it removed the custom recovery and installed a stock one, which has zero functionallity. Search for amon ra 3.11 and download it, rename to PC36IMG.zip, but in main directory of SD card, and boot into bootloader then follow on screen instructions. Also, the instructions will be in the thread.
ok i did everything that u tell me n now i rename the zip (ss_stock_4.67.651) in PC36IMG n then reflash recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3 now i can get into the recovery menu n i flash the rename (ss_stock_4.67.651) PC36IMG n i have a rom from sprint but now i still cant use adb command so what else shuld i do to recovery to normal n there r many issues that cant load like mail that is forced to sptop unexpected n thank u for all ur help!!
Looks like you flashed a stock (non rooted) ROM. You might wanna flash a rooted ROM from the development section. Or Google for SU.com (if I remember right) it's the site to download superuser, which you'll need to flash SU-efgh it's the super user binary. Then you'll need to get super user app from market. Both of those are created by chainsDD (that should help your search).
I think after that, you'll still need busybox. Which I really know nothing about. It's probably easier to just flash an already rooted ROM from the Evo dev section, honestly. You'll need root and SU permission before you can use adb. TMK
Edit: here's superuser app and binary. Try flashing thisthis thru your recovery.
I think you will still need busybox and flash_image. I can't help with busybox, but I might have a PC36IMG of flash_image on SD. Gimme a minute.
Still, probably best to just flash an already rooted ROM.
And HERE is a pc36img of flash image, just remove flash image from name of zip, it's my first time making one, so I THINK it'll work lol. It should flash they your bootloader.
I think this is all correct info, but if someone cares to back me up on this I'd appreciate it. Again, it'd be easier to pick an already rooted rom to flash. And safer.

I just got an HTC Desire A8181, and it is my very first time using an Android Device. The thing is that I already know that you can do a lot of things with Android devices (thats why I swapped from iOS to Android). Now here is my point, I basically need to know:
Basics about software and OS customizing for Android.
Basic things to know before do anything to my phone.
Tutorials for root the device (HTC Desire A8181)
Want to know if it is possible to make the phone work faster in terms of Manage the Processor and Ram Usage, how to do it, and understand the process.
And any other information that could be useful in order to make my phone work a lot better (take into consideration that I'm new with the OS and the phone, so there are a lot of things that I dont know about this theme.)
I also want to know if it is possible to install the latest Android Version on my HTC Desire and make it work fast.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
The desire comes with sense 2.3 gingerbread. Sense is HTC's skin that they overlay ontop of the android operating system. Although it may look nice (doesnt really look that good to me), it is heavy and causes decreases in performance. When you s-off your device, and install a custom recovery you will be able to flash an aosp based custom rom. Aosp = android open source project, and basically means stock pure android...nothing running on top. As you can probably predict, this will result in faster speeds, less ram usage, and better battery. I think that answers the first few questions.
Next Ill move on to how to root it (make your phone good). I honestly think the term "root" is deceiving to most new users. I see people asking "how do i root my phone", but i think what they really want is to install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. Being rooted on stock rom is pointless to me. Custom roms are where the good stuff is at.
Post your bootloader details here and ill walk you through the process. To get these details turn the phone off, then hold power + volume down until the phone boots into the bootloader. It should look similar to this. Post all of the first couple of lines at the top. The whole process summarized is this: s-off, install custom recovery, flash custom rom
There are also some other things that i would recommend doing so that you can have extra space for apps (you probably noticed you barely have any space at the moment), but ill get to that later when i give you more instructions.
Thanks for response so fast!

Really thanks for all the information, I'll post the information you are asking me for when I go back to my house since now I'm working
But thanks for offer me your help with this, is my first Android and I would like to have fun with it, and you are right I barely have space for my apps now... Will be some other information needed in this process that I can post later on?

Nope, just your bootloader details for now.
Please tell me that I did not ****ed my phone
Ok so here is my problem now on, I tried to flash the CyanogenMod, but I dont know if i ****ed my phone or im just missing something...
Here is what I did:
1- I followed the instructions on another thread about the HTC_Unlock_Bootloader_Tool in order to unlock the bootloader.
2- I copied the CM-7.2.0.1-bravo.zip file into the sd card manually and also by using the "adb push" command.
But now my phone turns on, but every time that I try to access the Recovery option from the Fastboot menu just gives me an icon of the phone with a red advertise sign and then I press "Volume Up + Power" and got access to some sort of recovery options... But cannot go further than that... What can I do? Please tell me that I did not ****ed my phone?
When u unlock the bootloader u must then flash recovery via fastboot commands. In my sig ul see 4ext recovery as PB99IMG, download and extract the recovery.img and flash via fastboot. U can find a fastboot guide in bortaks troubleshooting guide (in my sig also)
Thanks for your response.

Ok so here is my new actual situation, cause I went to sleep at 3.00am just to keep working with the phone...
After check within some forums and stuff I realized that there was an app called ROM Manager that can flash the Recovery and also the ROM (Cyanogenmod is the one I want to install), I started researching for another way to do it since every single time that I tried to start in FastBoot and use the recovery option in order to flash anything I just got a black screen with an icon that seems to be the same phone with a red alert sign on its corner (icon which i really did not like at all!!!), so I started checking for another way to work with this and found ROM Manager, but when the app was installed and I tried to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery but ROM Manager was giving an error related with permissions, I thought that my HTC Desire was already Rooted since it said "*** Unlocked ***" on the Fastboot menu (My fault!) but I realized that it is not Rooted after download the Root Checker app from the Store... So basically here is the case resumed: Fastboot "Unlocked" (Via easy unlocker tool), ROM Manager App (Installed but no permissions to Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery nor CyanogenMod ROM), Root Checker App (Installed and seems that my phone is not rooted)... How do I need to proceed now on???
Thanks in advance for all your help! I never thought that Android were this complicated, but I like it ****ing so much!!! So I think that it is most likely a beginner issue

Well, to root it, you need to flash a Superuser zip from recovery. To flash it, you need a custom recovery. To get a custom recovery, you do what @jmcclue said 2 posts above.

Hahahahaha yeah sorry about that but I'm working so it is difficult to be on the phone talking about Hard Drives and troubleshoot them, while trying to figure out whats going on with my phone hahahahaha
So Basically and if I'm not mistaken (hopefully not, let me know if I am) I need to do the following:
-Download and Flash the 4eXT Recovery as PB99IMG from the previous response: After download the file can I go to CMD and use "adb reboot bootloader" then "adb fastboot flash recovery PB99IMG.zip" (that must flash the recovery right?)
-Then I need to Flash the Superuser from a Zip file: By accessing the new Recovery Interface installed previously, wipe chache / install from sd card / install from zip (that must root my device right?)
-After that I should be able to turn on my phone as normal and use the ROM Manager in order to Flash the CyanogenMod 7.2 right?
Sorry that I bother all of you in this way with so many question and ****, but I really want not only to flash my drive but also to learn about the process and what I'm doing to my phone... Thanks for everything.

In my sig, you'll find a link "The PB99IMG method" under the "How to flash the 2.3 RUU" link. Use it to flash the recovery. Ignore the parts about the 2.3 RUU.

Ok, so after check the other post with the PB99IMG method the phone should ask meto install something after put the zip file into the sd card and start the bootloader??? The thing is, if that doesn't happen what can I do? Because if I try to go to the Recovery option the phone gives me the Black screen with the Icon of the phone and a red alert sign... :S

You don't need to go to recovery for the PB99IMG method. Only bootloader.

Yes thats what you should do. If that doesnt work you would try flashing the recovery via fastboot.
When you go into recovery right now and see the red warning thing, that is normal. It is the stock recovery, which makes sense because you havent installed a custom recovery yet. Once 4ext is installed you will no longer see that screen.

I forgot you weren't S-off. Pardon me.
Do this:
http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-set-up-android-adb-and-fastboot-on-windows-tutorial/
Then extract the .img file from the PB99IMG zip, and put it on your C drive, do the path would be C://recovery.img.
Then, open CMD, connect your phone in fastboot mode, and use this command:
fastboot flash recovery C://recovery.img

Ok so If I understood it is necessary to have the phone S-Off which means that the bootloader is unlocked, right??
Because my bootloader says "Unlocked" on the top of the menu... What I'm not doing right?

Unlocked does not mean s-off. You are Unlocked, but S-on. Just flash the recovery through fastboot, like jmcclue originally said.
Some good news
Sello I'm glad to let you know that finally I got my phone.cpletely flashed with the CM7 and this works just great... the only thing that I were not able to do is to partition my 4Gb SD card to assign 1Gb as phone extension and the rest as external storage...
Can you help me with this last thing, I just used a previous post...
With the 4ext recovery y created a first partition of 1024Mb as the ext of the system but my phone does not sees it, it keeps saying that only have 140Mb total as internal
