Q: Flashing Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 (1.29.401.11)

Hey guys I've just unlocked the bootloader on my HOX and installed CWM and rooted. I had a Galaxy S2 before so flashing roms was a bit different and before I end up bricking my my new phone, I just wanted to get some more info/confirmation as to what I (think) I know before flashing a new rom, Android Revolution. Hopefully this can help some other noobs.
I've downloaded the required files, the rom zip, the kernel bootimg and super wipe.
I have a FAIR GENERAL idea of the steps but I'd like to confirm here before damaging my device.
To my knowledge:
1) Place the rom zip on the internal SD card via USB cable as normal along with the super wipe zip.
2) Boot into the bootloader, enter fastboot and connect the phone via USB and open CMD from the same folder used to root it, with those files present. When CMD is opened enter fastboot devices to ensure the device is being detected and then flash the bootimg kernel using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
3) (unsure of this step and following steps...) After flashing the bootimg via adb reboot the device and enter bootloader mode again and this time enter recovery.
4) In CWM, reset to factory settings (data wipe), clear cache, clear davlik and then flash the super wipe zip and finally flash the rom.
Those are the steps I know..and I've also read of a .bat file to execute the adb commands automatically but I don't know exactly how that works and I'm a bit scared to try it. I've done my research so please don't flame me for asking this, I'm just scared as hell to brick my new phone.
If someone has a clearer simpler list of steps please post them or please correct any errors I have there. Thanks in advance for the help guys

Making the bat file is very simple..I'll help you on fb if you want...Everything else looks good though...do you really need to connect to the pc every time you want to flash? 0_0

The bat file isn't an issue..once I have the correct commands (if someone can confirm that too it'd be appreciated ) I'm good. And yeah I think so because a kernel ..or bootimg can't be flashed in CWM cuz its S-On ..so anytime u need to flash a new rom I guess you'd have to flash the kernel for that Rom via fastboot.

Thanks for the reply..Just one other question..from Fastboot (after flashing bootimg) how do you get back to the bootloader so I can enter recovery the flash the rom ? Cuz last time I went there I got no option to go back until it was rebooted into the bootloader..

help phone is not booting

yesterday i was in the franco kernel updater app and i saw a new nightly to i wanted to flash it but by mistake i looks like flashed milstone version so the device got root access to restart the device and flash the kernel
but the device rebooted to stuck at Google logo for 15min so i pulled out the battery re-insert it and press the power button and nothing happens still stuck at Google logo with no boot loop or restarting it self
i can get to CWM and fastboot but when i start the device its stuck at that :crying:
my phone is on that way since yesterday and i cant leave it like this for longer time since iam travailing nor can i wipe every thing on it and get a fresh start cuz i do have important things on the sdcard
plz help
i do believe its a kernel related issue but what can i do ?? i cant push a .zip kernel to flash it in CWM

what rom zip files do you have on your sdcard.

thanked for error.
tried flashing a boot.img via fastboot?standard or from another dev's kernel not in AK format (zimage)
or
tried flash another rom that you have zip inside phone?if you dirty flash,you simple don't loose anything..and the boot.img it's reflashed.

its stock JB rom flashed it over with galaxy nexus toolkit and downloaded the rom from google's site so its not a zip flashable
thanks all for replys and sorry for thw wrong section

im not sure but i remember on my g2x you could hook up phone from recovery mode and mount it on the computer with sd card .. have you looked around in CWM? This is your fault to be honest you deserve this for not making a NAND back up. ALWAys MAKE A BACK UP! period. There is a reason why devs and everyone else stress' it so much.

Sert00 is right. Flash any [previously] working ROM on it. It will be a dirty flash and some stuff won't work, but you'll be able to backup your data. You'll reflash again later

Bricked?

Okay, so I decided to root and flash a new rom on my phone since I didn't like my stock one. I went through all the processes (I think). I flashed the recovery, installed superu or whatever its called, wiped my phones rom, tried to flash a rom called paranoid android and it said it failed. I then realized I forgot to make a backup.... i restarted my phone and now it's stuck in the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen. I have no idea what to do

Here's a handy guide for you.
I used it myself back when I screwed up.
If you have Virgin Mobile then the RUU you want is called
Code:
RUU_PRIMO_C_ICS_40A_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.08.652.6_Radio_1.00.00.0521_2_NV_VM_3.46_0503_PRL61008_release_262414_signed.exe
If not, then try to figure it out. Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

**** logic.... if he flashed a new recovery, he obviously unlocked his bootloader.....
as for the OP's problem: dude, your downloaded rom is corrupted, download the rom again and flash it. and do not forget, you also need to flash the correct kernel.

Get in the recovery, mounts and storage, mount usb storage. Now the computer will open your sd card folder, so just put the rom there and flash it normally. For the kernel, get to the hboot connect the phone to the computer and wait that it says fast boot usb, then put the kernel in the fast boot folder on your computer, run the cmd, get to the fast boot folder and type fastboot flash boot (your kernel).img

Okay I got my kernal flashed and a rom with cyanogenmod thing. But it seems to freeze and then reboot by itself a lot.. I feel helpless

do a full wipe from recovery.
Sent from my ST25i

Full wipe, then try a different ROM? I liked CM10 but I guess it doesn't like me back

yeah,you also have to install its specific kernel

Okay I got the cdma pacman rom and its specified kernel. It STILL reboots after 30 seconds. Someone in that thread mentioned flashing over a stock rom, but that just confuses me. I just want to be able to make some calls badly

now fool n final do this.>>>
1. download rom and gapps,transfer them to root of SD card
2. extract boot.img(the kernel) from ROM zip and place it in fastboot folder(or use whichever kernel prescribed by the dev)
3. go into bootloader, FIRST flash the boot.img in fastboot(does the screen say FASTBOOT USB when u connect the phone to the PC?)
4. go into recovery, then FULL WIPE-factory reset, erase cache and dalvik cache.
5. then flash the ROM.
6. boot into the rom.then again enter into recovery and then flash gapps.
do the above steps in the same order all over again....

Full*

You most likely have the new update and radio. The newer one ends in .9xx, the one you need ends in .5xx. Can't remember the exact numbers. Download and install the RUU with Sprint in the name and you will be able install a custom Rom and kernel.

Okay thanks I will try that.

Okay i got the ruu went through the steps and it said i had the incorrect ruu for my phone. my cid is htsi 005 and i cant find the ruu for that cid :l

yes from d CDMA android dev section.
Sent from my One V

Well...same problem, this time I followed the instructions step by step!

1. Download ROM and gapps and put them in SD card's root.
2. Download jmz primoc kernel and place it in fastboot or platform-tools folder and rename it to boot.img.
3. Boot phone into bootloader. Select fastboot. Connect it to PC. It should say fastboot usb.
4. Flash boot.img(the kernel) using command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'.
5. Enter recovery from bootloader and first do a full wipe factory reset,erase cache,erase dalvik cache.
6. Then flash rom. Boot into ROM and then again boot into recovery and flash gapps.

Well, I actually just got done trying to use a CDMA converter...didn't work. Im in the process of using your method. But will it boot without Gapps installed?

Just tried your method, and it gets stuck on a boot loop, I am able to get into bootloader and recovery fine, but when I try to boot, it loops.

... why are you doing things to your phone when you obviously don't know anything. When in recovery after your done hold power for until it shuts off and then immediately hold down the down vol button (not the vol up!!) And for roms go to CDMA dev if your CDMA and android dev/ROM dev if your gsm

Just tried that...and it doesnt boot now...

[Q] a whole mess of problems..

Ok, so..my Girlfriend tried to root the phone herself and i think something went wrong...actually i know something went wrong..when i load up the Bootloader it gives me a few NO IMAGE found things on the SD card....but the real issue arises when i try to load a ROM onto the phone it will function for like 5 maybe 6 mintues then restart.
I tried to restore the phone to before roms were attempted to be installed on it, and the phone just hangs on the HTC screen and doesn't move.
I've tried installing Different Kernels using the whole fastboot flash boot boot.img method and none of the kernels i install seem to help..
I'm not 100% familiar with this phone since i myself use a S2 Skyrocket..
So my real question is..is there any way to get this phone back to square one so i can reinstall HBoot or whatever its called, or is there a way from where i'm at to stop this phone from constantly rebooting itself?

i don't think because there is no way to reinstall Hboot , only it can be done by HTC service centre but i will advice you to root it again from beginning , if your bootloader is already unlocked then try to root HOV , and after rooting i will suggest you to use PA rom with cm10 hellboy kernel

The no image thing is normal.not to worry.
Which Rom did you try to install?
Edit:is the phone gsm or cdma?

I was trying to install that one "Pacman"
It gets about to the point where she would enter her information for account sync and then it would just reboot.
and the phone is CDMA through Virgin Mobile
And about the CM10 thing, i was reading that CM10 doesn't work with the camera, and she needs the camera for work to send pics to her other managers

Ok,your phone is completely normal.
Now,do this in order
Put Rom and gapps in sdcard
Put the kernel in fastboot/platform-tools folder
Boot into bootloader and select fastboot.
flash kernel using the command you described in OP
Enter recovery.do a full wipe,i.e,factory reset,wipe cache,wipe.dalvik cache.also,go into mounts and storage and format every partition,except sdcard.
Then flash the Rom.zip,boot into Rom and then again into recovery and flash gapps.

sd-ext format isn't supported so you may as well leave it.and,use the boot.img inside the zip,that is the supersick kernel.

Go into fastboot,flash the kernel found inside the backup and then restore it.
