[Q] Phone Reboots

I rooted my phone and tried coredroid but decided that i preferred the stock rom and everything in it so decided to flash back. I had made a nandroid backup, so flashed it, and restored the recovery and relocked the device, however. now when trying to select music to play or to try and change the ringtone, the phone will crash and reboot. this happens every time, am downloading the RUU now to see if that will fix it, but does anyone have any ideas, any help would be much appreciated

i experienced that before and it was late when i realized it was because of the boot.img that you flashed from the custom rom, since you restored back to stock rom your boot.img file your using is still the custom rom that you used, try to post from the thread of coredroid and ask for the boot.img to be flashed for you to use your stock rom and remove the restart issues

Just extract the boot.img from your nandroid backup and flash it via fastboot (you'll need to unlock your bootloader again if you've already relocked it)

THANKS!!!
OMG thanks it worked, i dunno why the CWM didnt flash the boot.img as well, anyway it works now, thanks both of you for the help

CWM can't write to the boot partition without S-OFF, which is why you have to manually flash a boot.img through fastboot when you install a new ROM. But it also means you have to do the same thing when restoring a backup.

Flashed android rev hd rom 12 now in boot loop!

Flashed android rev hd rom 12 now in boot loop!
I followed the guide and flashed the boot.img first but keeps on boot looping. I have flashed rooms before on previous android phones so have a bit of experience. My version number starts 2.17 maybe I am missing something.
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

You need to flash the new firmware first. With that you need compatible CID.

If you don´t wanna flash the new firmware use ARHD 9.72.

Hello and thanks for the replies. I may of read the instructions wrong bit I thought it said flash boot img then run superwipe and then flash the rom from CWM. my cid is VODAP001 and wanted the jb Rom. Is 9.7.2 jb? I was thinking of going back to stock ruu but dont think it has been released yet as cannot find my version. When I rooted the phone when it was on stock I made a backup via Rom manager but even when I try to run this in CWM it states files not found!
Sorry to be a pain your help is much appreciated

Your phone is branded and therefore you cannot flash JB Sense ROMs, 9.7.2 is Ice cream sandwich.

u can have jb only when ur operator release it. what for official update from htc for ur model(cid)
now if u have backup of ur stock rom , just restore it. and if it is still bootlooping flash stock kernel modules.

thanks for your reply on this. I cannot restore my backup as when I enter CWM recovery either manually or by rom manager and locate the backup I have made it will not restore. When i try to restore it just states files not found!! I have checked on the phone SD storage and it is clearly there but for whatever reason it won't restore. Not sure what else I can do now. If I have to wait for my carrier Vodafone to release the official OTA jellybean update that's fine I will do that no problem, but how can I get back to stock rom? I have checked and there is no official RUU for my version yet so I cannot get back to stock and wait for the official OTA update even if I wanted too.
Maybe I am missing something i'm not sure but if you could help that would be much appreciated
thanks again

Hello
Thanks for your help. Just to clarify, I have the ARHD 9.72 (ICS) ROM on my SD card along with the superwipe that i was advised to run before flashing this ROM. With regards to boot.img it was advised to run this via fastboot type command before then running superwipe and then flashing the rom via CWM. Do i need to perform this boot.img via fastboot command before mounting the SD card and then flashing the ROM?
thanks

That's exactly what happened to me two days ago.. flashed the 12.0, then boot looped, then flashed the recovery but the stock rom boot looped too and my pc wouldn't recognize the phone so I adb pushed 9.7.2 and flashed it but it boot looped as well, so what I did was to download HTC SYNC and have the drivers, then flash boot.img first and then flash the rom, still didn't work so I tried the opposite - first flash the rom and only then flash the boot.img, and IT WORKED!!!!!

hello, glad to hear it's not just me....and you got sorted out! I will have a go at this tonight. The only concern I do have now though is how I would get back to stock rom if needed to receive OTA Jelly bean update when it is released. I cannot find any RUU for my vodafone UK branded version 2.17 CID VODAP001

R: [Q] Can't restore - lose boot.img
If you have made a backup of stock rom, you can download the stock boot.img from mike's thread
Sent from HOX

Twrp had a different named boot.img, called something like
Emmc.boot.win .....and you can flash that just like it is
Fastboot flash boot Emmc.boot.win

[Q] reverting to stock from nandroid?

Hi
I think I have a hardware issue and need to return my phone to ThreeUK.
Currently rooted and running Viper x 3.8 with TWRP recovery.
version is 3.14.771.34
I have been reading around and trying to work out how to get it back to stock. So far I understand there is no RUU and i need to use a nandroid back up. I downloaded the appropriate one from the collection on here but that is where I am getting stuck.
I read (ckpv5) that the following steps are what I need:
a. Flash the attached stock boot.img
b. Restore your nandroid backup
c. Reboot to bootloader again
d. Flash the attached stock recovery.img
e. Relock your bootloader with command "fastboot oem lock"
f. Reboot your device.. you are done.
I can't work out how to get the boot.img from the nandroid file I downloaded (in the past I just opened the rom zip file and copied it) but when i extract the files there isn't a boot.img?
I am also not sure if I can use TWRP to restore the backup or where to get the most recent recovery.img?
Thanks for any help.

Inside the nandroid you should find boot.img and recovery.img as a part of the nandroid. If there's no boot.img inside there's something wrong with the backup.

I am possibly doing something really stupid. The file I have downloaded from the nandroid collections thread is a 7zp. It is not like the usual zip rom. I used 7zip to extract the files but when I did this there was no boot.img file. There were references to boot but not a boot.img file. Like I said I may not be opening the file correctly or doing something else wrong?

It's probably a boot.emmc.win file. That is done with twrp recovery !

Thanks. Do I do the full wipe straight after flashing the boot, and by using twrp (which is my custom recovery)?
You think the above steps (with full wipe) are ok and if I just want to get the 4.2 upgrade from the carrier can I stop after flashing the custom recovery?

Flash the boot file, make a full wipe and restore the stock nandroid backup.
After that you flash back the stock 3.14 recovery. The one in the backup is not stock.

Cheers. I have got a 3.14 recovery from the nandroid collection thread. Is the standard twrp factory reset ok going from viper to stock?

Have ran into a problem
When i tried to restore the stock nandroid using twrp, nothing seemed to happen. I selected the file to restore and the twrp logo cam up and the screen immediately went of. When i pressed the power button it showed the twrp lock screen, but no restore had appeared to happen. I rebooted the phone but it still showed the viper screen and then got stock on the white htc logo screen.
Here are the steps I went through:
1.Downloaded the nandroid for my cid. It was a twrp backup in a 7z file
2. Extracted to the 7z file into its own folder in order to get the boot file.
3.Placed the boot.emmc.win file in my fastboot folder
4. Within the stock nandroid that was extracted i took the folder that contained the boot files etc and placed that in my backup folder beside my own backups in twrp so that i could select this folder to restore.
5. went into bootloader and fastboot.
6. Flashed - fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
7. fastboot erase cache
8. i then booted into twrp and performed a wipe
9. Tried to restore the stock nandroid
Any suggestions as to why this did not work?
Thanks

Anyone please?

Solved it by updating twrp 2.5 to the latest version.

[Q] Question: Stock Rom, Unlocked Bootloader, TWRP - How to update?

I've unlocked my Three (3) branded M8, installed TWRP and rooted my device (I've also tried out MaximusHD Rom, but decided to restore my original ROM from recovery as I couldn't get some software to load with it).
Three are now pushing out the updates for the M8 and I've tried to install it but it fails. Could someone tell me what I need to do? Back on my One X i needed to re-install stock recovery and re-lock the bootloader. Will I need to do this also?

Only flash the stock recovery if you can get one. Relocking the bootloader is not needed.....

Thanks. I'll try that now. So I am guessing once, I've completed doing that. I can then re-flash the TWRP and I'll probably need to root the phone again. Will let you know how it goes. There is a stock recovery that someone posted previously.

What you said worked perfectly, and funny enough I got the original stock recovery from your Thread. Can I ask how I would go about getting a backup of my current recovery now that I've updated my phone?
I tried what you mentioned in your thread about fastboot boot recovery recovery-name.img (yes i did put the recovery name in) but just got an error stating "cannot load 'recovery'".
Thanks for all your help.
Update: I notice that I can still boot into the system and have root even though I'm on the stock recovery, as if I go into Recovery I end up with the HTC Phone and red triangle. Does this mean there is no real reason for me to re-install TWRP? As all I really cared about was having Root.

What you have now is the stock rom and recovery + root. No reason to flash a custom one if you don't want to flash any mods or themes.
To create a new backup you can put the custom recovery in the fastboot folder and indeed perform the command :
Fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img
If it can't load the recovery you either typed the wrong recovery name or it's not in the fastboot folder. And the f you have a stock nand to share in my thread would be awesome !

Note that the command is fastboot boot recovery.img
The 'recovery' command will not register. I did it last night
Also, for future reference, I can perform a factory reset with the stock recovery and it will return me to stock even if I have rooted my device? I elected not to install TWRP, but instead just run it temporarily so that I could root leaving my stock recovery intact. Seems like a pretty straightforward answer which is 'yes' but just want to clarify. I have the stock ROM installed (AT&T)

Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Yes that's what i wrote right ?
Can you elaborate more on the not registered part ?
And yes factory reset will set it back to stock. Not sure if it will delete root. But all accounts and data will be gone !

You wrote: fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
The command is: fastboot boot recovery.img (You do not need to specify the 'recovery' before 'recovery.img')
And by not register I suppose I just mean its an unknown command if you specify a partition/kernel before the 'recovery.img' portion. I'm not sure if I'm using the vocabulary correctly

No problem I meant no disrespect! I was actually surprised you don't need to specify the partition for a temporary image....From my research it looks like they have may have changed that fastboot command from Android 4.3

Mr Hofs, in my scenario where I have returned to stock recovery, installed the update from three. How would I go about backing up my current recovery? I've tried what you have done in your thread but there is no recovery file in the back up.

Yeah that's a strange thing. The backup from fisha21 didn't have a recovery either yet the ones made by guywithdesire1992 did have ?! I'm confused about that ! Can you check certain options in twrp maybe ?

Okay, will make a back up over to my computer and then try again. Will report back.

Yep did it with Philz touch and it now includes a recovery.img although it's filesize is 21MB compared to the regular ones. But now at least I have a backup of the recovery. Will upload to a location and post on your thread soon.

Thats awesome ! Really appreciate it
So to be clear, you booted philz and made a nandroid. So the recovery should be the stock HTC one ?
One way to check is to flash the recovery.img that's in the backup folder and enter it. If it gives a phone icon its stock
