Other than MikRunny's 3.5 ROM I can't get my phone to stop rebooting immediately after booting up. I was running sense 4a and after I turned my phone off once to reboot it, that was the last time. I have a back up of sense 4a so if I can fix this random reboot I can get back to where I left off. So can someone please help me?

Judging by a couple other posts I've seen by you, you're coming down from the latest VZW RUU that just recently got a proper way to s-off.
If this is the case it's a known issue with the 'downgrade' that sense roms give random reboots at the lockscreen. There are several threads both here and at rootzwiki talking about the issue.
Using a non-sense rom seems to be the only way on these phones at the moment. Perhaps in the future someone will figure it out but since it's an older phone they may not put in the effort.

But MikRunny's ROM is Sense? So how is that possible? And I've ran sense 4a but after I turn my phone off once, with either sense 4a or mikrunny, it reboots immediately at lockscreen. Someone told me to let it keep rebooting and eventually it start working in minutes, but I've let it sit and reboot like 20min and it still didn't work.
another ROM
I suggest trying Inc 2 HD... it's awesome.
But for your current problem, I guess you know to just hold the down volume key when you reboot into recovery?
It could very well be an issues because you have the latest firmware 6.****. All the current sense rom's are for 5.***. I'm just guessing, but maybe try flashing aero's cm9 and see if you get the same reboot. However you will need to flash the most current version of CWM. What version do you have?

Yes mikrunny is sense. As I said, sense roms are having issues with the new firmware.
You'll have to boot into recovery and flash a non sense rom (CM7, CM9, AOKP...).
I would first start by flashing the stock latest RUU..
Looks like a possibe fix

How do I do that sir? and Would this possibly allow me to flash a sense ROM? If not then I'll just flash a non - sense ROM since that'll work on my firmware appariently.

There's a couple ruu threads out there, find the 5.10, call it pg32img.zip, and flash bootloader style like a radio.

How do I verify it? And can I download it with my phone, use root explorer to rename and move to root of as, boot into bootloader and then flash it? And will this surely fix the prollem?
Sent from my vivow using XDA
Jayydude there is a lot of warnings about your version of software and downgrading right now. However to answer your question on verifying the MD5 sum if you go to the zip file in root explorer and then longpress the zip file choose properties and it will calculate your MD5 sums. Then verify they are the same as what the download posted. If not download again. The MD5 sums will be on the very bottom. It will calculate it for you. I also have a program on my computer at home that will verify it for you but I am at work now so dont remember what it is called. But root explorer will work fine I use it all the time to verify. Also I am sure you have seen it but make sure not to flash the RUU from China you will loose data and not be able to get it back.

new to rooting and flashing roms. there is onw problem I am having. When I flash a rom gps suddenly goes out the window, none of the indicators pop up in the notification bar, maps and navigation have a problem finding my location, and most of the time my phone doesn't know where I am. Now if I unroot back to stock everything goes back to normal which is weird to me but what I would like to ask the community is that, What can I do to fix this issue? Do I need to flash a fix or is there nothing I can do?
I'm sure you've already done this but you did go in to your location settings menu and checked the ones that apply? I haven't heard of this and it must not be a hardware issue if it works fine on stock..
that's what I thought... honestly I haven't tried all the roms (mostly just the stock roms) but I have flashed at least four, all with the same results. I would just keep it stock so I have a fully working phone but the only unrooted flash I know of is on the Unlockr site which will unroot it back to 2.1 and I don't know if I can live that far in the past
The other weird thing is in locations there is an option for location on and E911 . The E911 is checked on and it says that E911 cannot be checked off on any mobile device. Ask the other times it gives me an option. I am currently running Magnolia Final's latest version

when I flash through hboot should I wipe as if I'm flashing another rom? I flashed a 2.2 ruu before the OTA went out and I ended up bootlooping and everything forced closed on me. I think that's what made me root in the first place.

is there a way to remove clockwork recovery? my wife's phone has s-off and recovery, but she wants to keep it stock and use the OTA upgrade.
You should really check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161411
I just flashed this over my stock froyo. Worked flawlessly, didn't lose any apps or anything. Removes all the VZW bloat and runs perfectly.
One thing to note, I believe you'll have to manually update your radio to the newest version but it's no big deal.
You can find the newest radio here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134451
From what I've read the radio that comes with the OTA is 20.27W.30.0811U_1.09.01.0622 unless someone can tell me I'm wrong.
i know all about that. but i still would like to know how to go back to stock recovery if possible.

You'll have to reflash the RUU and overwrite CWM with the stock recovery image once more.
If you don't mind me asking is there a reason why?
The only way I'd even consider doing this is if you're going to return the phone or if there's something wrong with it.
Why not just flash the official OTA that RMK put together and then flash the new radio?
It's EXACTLY the same thing minus the verizon bloat apps, heck it even runs faster than the stock OTA.
Do you flash the new radio like you would a new rom?

No, There's a certain way you have to do it. Pretty easy BUT you have to check the MD5 to make sure it's not corrupt, otherwise you'll brick.
put the P32IMG.zip file onto the root of your sd card. Boot into hboot by holding vol down and power on startup.
It'll search your sd card and then ask to update. press power to update. It'll reboot when finished.

The issue is that if you flash the new OTA you'll lose root for the foreseable future. Currently most are unsure if it will undo the s-off and in the process you may lose the ability to root until a new exploit is found.
Read the first thread that is stickied on this forum about the OTA.

There's an app in the android market called AFV (android file verifier) that allows you to check the md5 sum of files you download directly on your phone. I would suggest you install that app and make sure the md5 matches the radio file you downloaded before flashing the radio as changing radios has much more potential to brick your phone entirely that traditional rom flashing.
this is for my wife's phone. mine is running CM7. my concern is that if i go forward with a rooted gingerbread, i won't be able to return her to full stock recovery and rom later. i don't want to do anything to her phone i can't undo later. is there a path for that after upgrading to the rooted stock rom?

Of course, it can always be undone later on. However, if you do the OTA update then you will not be able to root until a different exploit has been found.
This is why we're trying to get you to go the route of the rooted stock rom.
Just follow the directions in the first 2 posts of that thread and she'll be as stock as she got the phone (Minus having root, it being faster, etc....)
what's the rollback if we want to go full stock. no root, no CWM - stock enough to send to verizon.
I understand about the wife issues. My widest inc2 arrives in a few day. My plan is root and stock debloated Rom for her. She won't even know its not stock. That way when she wants sense 3.0 I can give it to her. If she knows I never hear the end of it.

hey everyone, I had clockwork recovery, which I wanted to get rid of. I got the stock recovery.img from htc vision wiki and flashed it using adb. but when i go to rom manager it still says current recovery:clock work. I cant even flash any alternate recovery in rom manager, because the option is not highlighted. I am just wondering is there any reason why i am unable to flash the stock recovery. Or is there anther recovery that I can download, and maybe try and flash that. Any help will be appreciated. thank you in advance.

RM might be lieing to you since that header is meant to show you what CWM you have installed and what the latest CWM is. Try booting into recovery from the bootloader and see what's there.

Pretty sure the OP is asking how to flash stock recovery or something other than clockworkmod.
My question is why? You don't have to flash newest cwm 5.X(you can flash older versions in RM) and there is a thread toget back to complete stock in dev section.
No alternate recoveries besides stock and cwm

thanks for the replies guys. no i flashed the stock recovery through adb. it sucks there is only stock or cwm. anyways the reason i was trying to get back to stock recovery is that i know gingerbread is already or will be available for htc desire z. and when it is rooted i want to upgrade to it. but i cant upgrade if i have cwm. and i dont like the modified rom people have. any ideas?
never mind, you were right. rm was lieing. crap my phone get factory reset. i wasnt expecting that....could have warned me -_- anyways i am guessing now i can update. btw if i update, then download clockwork. can i restore to my nandroid, which will have the 2.2?

It's already available for the G2 so it should be available for the DZ as well. Check the ROMs thread in the sticky, there's probably already a rooted version out that you could flash with CWM.

You have to unroot, get back to a fully stock setup, THEN take the OTA.
I have absolutely no idea why you would do this though. You can get any number of 2.3.3+ based ROMs, both stock and modified, that can just be flashed via recovery. You can be on the latest build and keep your root. Why go through all the hassle to unroot and upgrade when you could just keep root?

Not sure which apps youre referring to that aren't going to work in Canada... anything you use on your current ROM probably works on the 2.3 rooted Sense based ROMs lol.
The DZ is the G2 in the USA, and has completely different firmware. It doesn't have HTC sense. So you probably won't find many HTC Sense based ROMs that are "for the u.s." as you put it...
People like Virtuous unity. Its 2.3 based Sense with some Sense 3.0 flares. There are also a few stock pre-rooted OTA DZ builds out there. Go take a look in the dev section. If you like Sense, there are plenty of options for this device.
no i meant the rom that i will get has some apps that dont work in canada. anyways, what do you think is the best sense based rom with 2.3? post a link if possible. thanks.

I don't use Sense (don't like it) and I wouldn't wanna make a recommendation because I'm not very versed on them.
There are several options, I suggest you try them all and choose which you like. Lots of people like Virtuous Unity.
which tends to crash more? miui or virtuous unity?
Hey guys, gotta make this quick. As of lately, I unlocked my bootloader with the intentions of installing a different ROM. I've tried nearly every ROM (including the stock de/odexed ones) and nothing will stay on. With every flash I have done a FULL wipe and flashed correct boot.imgs, but still nothing more than being rebooted a minute after the ROM starts up. I need this phone to run again because I can't stand the loaner I have.

Where would I find an Ubuntu-friendly RUU? My Win7 partition decided to s#!t the bed so I'm stuck running on Ubuntu 12.10 until I can get an external HDD to back up all of my Windows files. Thanks.
EDIT: If there is no "Ubuntu-friendly" version, does it atleast play nicely with Wine? This has become a pain in the tush and honestly, I'd just love to get this over with so I can have a functioning phone again. Not to mention get some of that JellyBean goodness.

Hi guys, brand new to the forum, member wise, but been using XDA site for years. Have had the Verizon HTC One since it was released in August and been patiently waiting for S-Off to be achievable. Awesome for Sonic buying a Java card and wish I could have sent mine to him but unfortunately did not have a backup phone to use.
I was wondering if someone could create a guide to complete S-Off with Beaup's mod? I don't want to brick my phone since it's the only one I have, so I figured this could be beneficial to everyone, not just me.
Thanks guys
If you follow his guide, it's pretty straight forward. It failed the first time for me because of either not having the stock kernel, or just a bad usb port, but that didn't brick my phone. It just didn't do anything. Tried it the second time and it worked like a charm.
