Develop Bugs

[Q] First time rooting Question.

Hi!
I have DHD from Telus.
I'm about to root my DHD without knowing anything about rooting. So ...
1- After rooting with Ace hack kit. (rooted one time but went back to original had no sound at all) I wanted to know if I flash for exemple Cyanogen or any other ROM, I will be able to get ICS on OTA ?
2- After flashing another ROM will I have to configure anything to get it to work with my oparator (Telus) ?
3- I'm looking forward to put Android Revolution HD or Cyanogen ROM, and wanna get the one with less bugs to start with because I'm really scared doing this manipulation.
Thank you for your help. And sorry if it has been answered.

1. No, you won't, but when it gets released, you can check the forums here and get the rooted version, or install a RUU.
2. It SHOULD be properly set up.
3. If you're asking which one to install, I prefer CM.

First thing to do is make a backup. Thay way if you mess something up or you don't like what you install, you can always revert back.
Sent from a dream.

For now the only thing I can back up is my SD card because I'm not rooted yet. If there is a way to do it without rooting i'll be glad to ear.
Thank you for your support.

Another question...
Will I be able to remove apps like TWITTER or all other apps locked by the phone after root, because this is the main reason for me to get my DHD root ?
Thanks again.

After rooting, get a file manager such as es explorer and enable root explorer and write permissions. Then go to the system >> apps folder and delete. Make a nand backup first just in case.

How I can back up my default ROM? Is there a way i can backup my Radio?

The best way to back up your entire Rom except the SD card is to flash a custom recovery and do a nandbackup.

Also as i understood if i do root to my phone it will change my ROM and even possibly Radio, but i want to be able to go back to what i currently have in case if i will need.
Is there a way to just root without changing anything else perhaps just to get CWM and root?

There should be a backup uption in recovery, or you could press "backup existing Rom"
In Rom manager from wich you flash clockwork mod recovery, and it depends on wich root method you use and the exploit, I think advanced ace hack kit does downgrade your radio but will automatically restore the right radio/S-OFF right after you get root access.

I am not totally new to this since i have my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it is rooted and i use ICS from Cynogeyn group and do all kind of crazy stuff with it, but the main difference is that i have an original image of my Factory ROM and recovery so at any point and time if i need i can get to the "virgin" version in couple of minutes.
That is why i am looking how i can back up my current ROM and Radio. Or to get CWM and root without changing the ROM and Radio. After that everything else i can figure out myself.

Well, if you are not new to this, you will know that flashing a rom will not change the radio...ever. Roms only come with RILS. The Hack Kit, downgrades to a GB version just in the cases where DHD have Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0. Anyway, there are many radios threads in here where you can find your current one. Also, try searching to find your current rom...not all RUU's are available, but yours might be....a little more of information will help as well. What carrier are u holding?

Thank you guys for your help! I really appreciate this. I have read the guide as you suggested.
My carrier is Elisa Estonia, do not think it maybe anywhere here as my country is really small if i tell you the population you gonna laugh!
I did found though the radio that very close to what i have but not quite maybe you know the difference: my is 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M and what i found is 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M.
Also i was looking for CWM for DHD and found only touch version of it not sure if i really want to flash that one. I do not like too fancy stuff it seems have more issues. Do you know where can i get the regular CWM for Desire HD?
And yes, i am aware that if i flash ROM radio stay the same, but as soon as i understood during routing my Radio will be downgrade, but i really want to have this back!

With AAHK the radio the radio should be correctly updated after the downgrade.

try to do a complete rom refresh (return to stock, look for my signature, there will be almost anything you will need). It happened to me, when I flashed a wrong ruu os via cwm, but after the ruu it worked like it must.
After flash the bootup can last long enough, so wait for at least 5 mins.

There is the VirginMobile/sprint RUU for the PrimoC out at the stock ruu section if you mean that.
But then again, if the phone is already rooted, a custom will be more safer, and/or reasonable and not to mention faster.

I don't think it is hard bricked, you did nothing wrong, i think. Anyway, you could try to download the ROM (i think that you don't have it in the phone now) from pc and put it in phone in recovery, then try to flash again the rom. You can also try to download another sense 5 rom, like maximus (it works for me); in both cases, wipe all (except the sd) and re-flash the kernel. If it doesn't work, then go back to sense 4+ until someone finds out the problem. If i didn't understand well the problem, then sorry, but i hope i helped you.

Go to recovery, and from there mount usb storage. Put on back the desired ROM and start all over again.
To me this looks the easiest and the shortest way. Otherwise you keep on trying stuff, and perhaps non of them help. Just my 2 cents.

it is not needed to go back to stock rom, simply download to the pc a ROM with sense 4+ like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836919 or something similar, then do as Braindamage1989 said: go in recovery, connect usb to the phone, mount usb and copy the rom from the pc to the phone.

If you can go in the recovery, then it's very probable that you can solve the problem.

Read this post http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-...ount-sd-card-no-rom-only-access-recovery.html . Maybe installing TWRP recovery, as said in the thread, could work.

But don't format as said in the thread, i think it's useless. Try a first attempt only installing TWRP.

I would flash philz touch over it since it supports touch and keeps back-ups you made with cwm

[Q] No OS installed stuck in bootloader

Alright so Im having a problem, i bought the htc one m8 sprint version, and a system update came out for it. It was urgent it said and installed itself on my phone. After a while of using it my phone started force closing and rebooting constantly, to the point where i couldn't do anything.(my device was rooted before it was installed, the boot loader was unlocked and TWRP installed). I went to my TWRP settings to try and uninstall the update and somehow managed to wipe EVERYTHING in my phone, and it now says i have no OS installed. when i try to boot my device it gets stuck in the HTC load screen with the green logo, white background, and t says powered by android at the bottom and it goes no further. I tried to side load the viper one ROM and the G-apps and its saying its successful. But its still getting stuck in the load screen. I tried to go to my backups in TWRP restore and all of the ones are empty. can anyone help?

Go into fastboot, flash the latest TWRP, sideload or copy onto a sdcard a nandroid backup and back it up through twrp. that should do it

same problem
please help in this issue
i had same problem after wiping everything, i still can go to TWRP recovery, but no OS install !!!

If you don't know what it is, why on earth are you wiping it?????

That behaviour reminds me of my 3 year old son....always touching and tapping the laptop but has no clue what he's doing.....but the difference is he's allowed to, he can't READ !

I'll be honest... I did this when I first got it. twrp was saying no OS installed so I got nervous and wipe happy, accidentally wiped it all. Lol. Goid thing I knew what I was doing though.

Yeah, but you knew what you had done (and how to recover) right?
Its the "I wiped OS guys, why don't I have an OS now?" that bugs me.
Usually accompanied by "I didn't bother to make a nandroid, have a ROM zip handy on the phone, or have adb setup".
I mean, we all make mistakes. Especially early on. But to make such a mistake, not be able to figure out (the fairly obvious) reason why it happened, and have made no preparations for recovery . . . its just not the right way to go about things.

Well I didn't fully understand what I had done until I swiped..... :-o just cause I was being a moron. But I knew full well how to sideload. I guess I can understand why we are seeing these cause twrp has some partition problems plus from what I've read GE & sense have different partitions as well. So flashing a custom recovery that says NO OS can freak some newbs out. And apparently me a little as well.

Help
I have a similar issue. My phone says no os. I can still get to twrp but nothing is there. no backups, no nothing. I've tried flashing ruu's and side loading but nothing takes. I keep getting errors. My boot loader is still unlocked, but now says s-on. Can anyone help?

Now it says s-on? I'm assuming you did firewater or sunshine then, and successfully got s-off. That's rather odd. You best best in my opinion is to get an external SD and dump a ROM on it. Also check for the unofficial twrp in original development under..... Oh crap I'll post it here. Hold up

When I try to flash a zip thru adb I keep getting FAILED (remote not allowed)
any idea how to get around that? I also tried several different roms on external sd card but they would not flash. Kept getting failed on twrp

Signature verification failed? What does getvar all say? Please post results? Did you achieve s-off before?

Did you do a factory reset in bootloader? This should never be done on a modded phone, as it corrupts the phone's internal memory. I haven't seen the issue of going back to S-on before on this device. But the other symptoms seem indicative of internal memory corruption.

MM to N firmware advice

Hi guys.
Finally decided to jump to N firmware.
Followed the guide on how to do it as I was on Viper.
Now I have uprooted, back to stock recovery and on stock MM 1.80.401.3 and have tried to update using the OTA Update file and stock recovery but it won't work. Keeps failing, complaining about strange file structure or something.
Any tips?

There is a WWE RUU, just flash this?
Ensure you backup all your data when flashing it though...it will wipe everything, including your internal sdcard.
The much easier way would be to S-oFF and flash the nowipe firmware in fastboot.

A firmware package that doesn't wipe your phone's data when you flash it, as opposed to something like an ruu that typically wipes your phone when you glass it.

As I see you are on Sprint though, this is not the right thread for you...seems you are on Android N anyway already.

Thank you for your replies. I am only curious because I am fairly new to this phone, and I do travel abroad. I just want to make sure I know everything about it when I finally SuperCID to 1111111 and flash GSM firmware. I just don't want any surprises when I do that. So I watch all the HTC 10 forums, whether or not Sprint. I own this phone. It is not a lease or under contract. I am free to do whatever I want to do with it, I think.

Very informative link. Thank you. I won't be using the "Batch Tool" as I only run Linux since 1995 and never Windows, which this seems to be written for. Not a problem, as I might be able to compile it for Linux.

Has anyone got a link to the proper RUU I need? I can't seem to get the right one.
I'm back to completely stock everything MM firmware.
I've tried a few of the RUU. EXE files but always get the wrong one lol.
HTC 10 unlocked from the united kingdom and used on EE.
Currently on MM 1.80.401.3

That software you linked is failing with the error code:
"158:image error. Get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again"
Any ideas? Im running windows 10 if it helps, Also tried to run it in compatibility mode (Windows 7)

If you have a Sprint device you can't flash GSM firmware, you can only flash Sprint firmware. Sorry.
EDIT: I take that back. Apparently with the 10 you can convert from Sprint https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71195268&postcount=5

I don't have a sprint device.
I think it's unlocked (using an EE sim in it).

Yes indeed. I have been following that thread (and a few others) quite closely.
.

Anyway I can even get the original OTA to work again or is it broke forever?
Really want to get onto stock Number firmware ?
