Hi everyone,
I'm using a HTC Wildfire and am considering changing from stock (HTC non-branded) to CyanogenMod for a number of minor reasons. Could anyone just confirm that I got a few points right before I get started:
- Recovery is totally independent from the ROM itself, right? So I can flash ClockWorkMod Recovery only, continue to use the stock ROM, but have the additional features of ClockWorkMod available, such as backup, with which I can create a complete backup of the stock ROM. In case I don't like CyanogenMod, I can restore the stock image and be exactly where I left it, Apps, Settings and everything (of course the new Recovery will still be installed.) Is this correct?
- I'm planning to do the following steps (I read about the details, just want to confirm the basics):
x use the Revolutionary way to S-OFF and install new Recovery
x create full image backup of the stock ROM using the new Recovery
x install new ROM (ClockWorkMod)
x if I don't like CM: restore image created before to return to stock
-> This should work, shouldn't it?
- One more: What will happen if the the phone is S-OFF, an alternative Recovery is installed, and a HTC Firmware-Update is attempted? Will this work at all, will it update just the ROM, or will it update the Recovery, too? S-OFF will not be changed back to S-ON, right?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
1. Yes, the recovery is in it's own partition and is independent from the ROM
2. The recovery creates a "snapshot" of your current ROM. So when you restore, it'll be just the way you left it.
3. There's no need to do any HTC Firmware updates after installing a custom ROM (infact, I'm almost 100% sure that it won't work)
As a basic answer yes you go ahead with what you posted.just make sure your hboot version is compatible with revolutionary 1st etc etc.
As for HTC firmware update question,if your talking about the over the air updates I'm not sure but I think it would update your hboot thus reverting back to s-on status again so best not accept it if you do get one (turn off in settings)

No, the manual ones you can download directly from HTC and install via USB. My understanding was that this would kill everything flashable, including radio and recovery. It would be reassuring to have a worst-case way to go back to stock in case the image-restore fails for whatever reason.

Ah sorry never dealt with any firmware updates. There are ruu.exe to help get back to stock if something goes wrong I think.

You can go completely back to stock, s-on and all but believe me once you have cwm installed there really is no point unless its for warranty reasons, backup fails are rare with the latest recoveries + if it does fail with your first backup you can always post here and we will explain how to extract a stock Rom from an ruu to put things back to how they where before or you can flash a custom sense Rom and modify it to your liking.

Yea, exactly. I'm a little on the paranoid side, I know... ;-)
Ok, I'm on my way now. I've performed the "Revolutionary" S-OFF and am now running "Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4". Is this an out-of-date version?
I've read about ROM-Manager being able to auto-check for and flash a new Clockworks Recovery, but I've also read that ROM-Manager needs root. I have not yet flashed a new ROM, so I assume that I'm not yet rooted, am I? Can I find a ZIP of CWM that I can directly flash from the SD-card?
Does the CWM-version I'm running have any effect on the "quality" of the image backup? In other words, if I create a backup now, will I be able to restore it later running a different version of CWM?
The "different version backup restore" is a bit wonky and won't always work.
To flash a different recovery from the SD card do this:
1. Place this file on your SD card (Not in any folders!): http://www.multiupload.com/74EW2VPNHL
2. Boot into the bootloader
3. Wait a bit and then it should prompt you to update
4. Click the volume+ key to update
5. Remove SD card
6. Boot into the new recovery and insert the SD card
7. Go under mounts and select Mount USB storage
8. Delete the PCIMG file from your computer

I tried to, but I couldn't use the link. The whole domain seems to be down - maybe another holy crusade of Big Content, who knows. They sure leave fans in their wake, don't they.
Since you indicated that updating would be ok for the wildfire I went to http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and downloaded the file recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip.
However, I'm not sure how to handle it: If I put it on the card under this name, nothing happens on bootloader-start. In recovery, I can select the file and install it, and then I immidiatly get a newly colored menu with the new CWM version 5.something. However, once I restart, the old CWM (v4.x) is there again.
I assume I need to use a magic filename so that the bootloader performs the update, not the (already running) recovery. Right?
**EDIT: Ah, disregard. I believe I found the answer myself.
Do you have fastboot?
If you do I can give you the recovery.img I'm using, which you can flash via fastboot.
Yes, fastboot is available.
Thank you.
Okay, here's how you flash a recovery via fastboot.
1. Extract the .zip I attached to the location where you fastboot is
2. Reboot phone in the bootloader
3. Select fastboot and attach USB cable
4. Open up the command prompt and type in "cd [location of fastboot]
5. Type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
6. You're done
Oh and by [location of fastboot] I mean that you type in the location of fastboot.
Wow - this was fun. There was something really curious going on with my device: Whatever I tried, no "official" way worked to modify CWM v4 to v5. In every case, the menu of the new version showed up and was usable, but was gone again after restart. After the file-on-card method got me nowhere (file was not recognized), I tried the high road and installed ROM-Manager. This complained about missing su. So I installed su. After that ROM-Manager downloaded CWM v5 and put it onto the card (into a file named update.zip - ahh... ) On restart, the CWM-install-screen came up, then the v5 menu.
And after restart, it was gone again. Even ROM-Manager was confused: He showed v5 as "installed", when in fact it was still v4. ;-)
So finally I downloaded the Android SDK (to get fastboot.exe) and performed the flash as you suggested in the first place. And it worked. First try, without hitch, permanently.
Thank you very much for your help!

The problem with ROM Manager's version is that it's only temporary and can only be accessed from the ROM Manager itself
I installed a ROM on my phone but it didn't work.........
so i tried to put a ROM that always works through the boot loader screen when it scans to "PG76IMG.zip"
but now it doesn't scan for the PG76IMG file and there isn't any way to install a ROM back.......

You need to give a little bit more info.
What ROM did you use?
Have you got out of the bootloader and will the phone restart with the ROM that is already installed?

i used a normal HTC Marvel European rom that ihave been using a lot.
i installed numerous times when any other rom did not work on my phone .
now my phone has no rom i think........(as the new dotsense rom does not work)
in the white boot loader screen, it does not scan for any file such as PG76IMG.zip and stays as it is.
P.S. my phone came S-OFF if that is necessary
Try flashing original HTC ruu from the sticky titled 'shipped roms'
Flashing is done through your PC, you might have better luck that way.

you're saying you flashed roms = you have custom recovery !
so here is what you will do , get the ORIGINAL sdcard , mount it to PC through the custom recovery > mounts and storage , copy the desired PG76IMG.zip to the sd , reboot to bootloader and see if it asks for it ... please press the thanks button if it worked !

Download the ROM that you want.
Double Click the file to open the RUU.
Wait a short while and follow the onscreen instruction.
Good Luck.

And thanks to everyone else for helping me keep my hopes up........i was gonna take it to a shop to get it repaired!!
Hay guys,
for my Desire HD i use the custom rom Jellytime. I used the r6.2, then i flashed an update.zip to r7.
But then i realized, bluetooth is not working and i'm not connected to my google account. So i decided to downgrade to r6.2, so i flashed the .zip as an update.zip. now my phone freezed after the jellytime bootlogo :/
I tried to get to the recovery but when i press power+ volume down, it vibrates 3 times and nothing happens.
does anybody knows what to do? I have a backup, so are there any possibilities, to restore the backup?
slixx
Ouch, did you flash the ROM as an update.zip or the backup?? And what recovery do you got?
hay,
i flashed the r7 as an update.zip, to update my custom rom from r6.2 to r7. and i also flashed the r6.2 as an update.zip to downgrade
I think this was my fault.
i have the lastes version i think - something like 5.0.1.20.
okay,
i used the adb to boot into the bootloader. with the bootloader i booted into the recovery, know i try to restore my backup.
hope it works!
Report back with your progress.
EDIT: and save yourself some trouble next time by using recovery instead of bootloader for installing ROMs
It worked!
i restored the backup, after this i installed an older version of jellytime, flashed gapps, and restored my personal stuff with google
i didn't flashed the rom with the bootloader. i just forgot to flash gapps, after installing the jellytime update ._.
this was the reason why i was not connected to my google account. and the bluetooth function...hmm i dont care cause i don't use it.
but now everything is okay again.
BTW, if you feel like getting back to jelly time, I recommend using v30, or the last 4.1.2 version of jelly time. I think it was only until v9 that jellytime started getting stable, and v30 should be almost bug free.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda app-developers app
black screen after update of Jellytime was installed
I flashed in recovery , formatted and all that and picked up the zip of jellytime all installation steps worked fine and once finsihed and the phone was going to finally reboot it just turned black and didn't continue.
HOw do I resolve this? How can I do my backup ? Right now my phone is useless so appreciate a fast answer

If you mean I am rooted - yes I am. I had the IceColdSandwich before I tried to flash this CM10 JellyTime. I'm not sure I did the fastboot. I did a clean wipe and selected the update rom zip and then followed the steps, inlcuding selecting Desire S and flash (normal?) . It ran through all the installation steps without problems, but when finsihed and during the reboot it hanged (black screen).

So responding a bit more politely;
Do you have an unlock bootloader? To unlock a bootloader is mlostly resolved by doing a root. That I have done so yes in that case I do have a unlocked bootloader. Please correct me if I am wrong in conclusion.
If so, have you flashed the boot.img in fastboot? I am not sure in this. I think I was give two choices - fast boot and normal boot. I selected normal boot.

OK..fine. Still I'm sure I'm unlocked. Now I acctally got the bootloader working - ACE PVT ENG S-OFF RL . So I read your link - thanks it seemed valuable but I didn't get why I needed to open a terminal window (dos window I assume) secondly it didn't work at all since the usb connection didn't connect properly.. I'm sorry for being such a hassle.. . I did before though un zip the folders so if needed - where should the boot image be in order for it to load from the sd card ?
Thanks for the patience
EDIT: I tried to follow the flashboot steps as best I could, but failed to load the image.

Whatever - I didn't stop me from installing other ROMs. This case is now closed - I changed ROM to CodefireX - worked fine. But sure I will look into it if its necessary - for sure for Jellytime..
I must say you guys really tried to help but any reasons to why I have to unlock bootloader - is that something that have become necessary over time? Maybe its also bad instructions on the ROMS main pages? Why do I need to search 50 different forums to get a simple answer?
Anyway you can give up on me now because I resolved it on my own. Thanks
Because there are additional steps if you are unlocked...
Hello guys, I have HTC One V GSM which was recently unlocked and rooted by me. I don't remember how I got that but got it Rooted somehow.
Now Problem is I am unable to backup recovery, unable to install Rom, unable to install themes, after every reboot of following actions,
In Rom Manager
Reboot into recovery takes me to red question mark
The Rom you are using doesn't support OTA updates. The developer of this Rom needs to make the appropriate changes so their ROM support OTA update. Please contact ROM developer.
Installation Rom from sd card also shows red question mark.
In ROM Toolbox pro
Rom management
when i install MIUI (one of the ROMs available seen there) after reboot into recovery option same "red question mark"
unable to change font once I got them changed fortunately/unfortunately
so basically I don't know what to do. I don't even know what exactly can i do after Root else then deleting few pre installed apps
I am very very, in fact very, new to all these tech things just checked internet and did few things.
Please help me guys
1) don't use rom manager
2) it seems you don't have a recovery. Flash it again via fastboot
Thanks Mr Nooby for your reply
Since I am very new to these, did u mean the same procedure I did after unlocking bootloader? procedure of rooting?
Is there anyway I can stat over with new Root I mean fresh after Unlocked bootloader? Then may be I can re start installing Roms and tweaking phone?
Yeah you can flash roms and stuff. Remember that fastboot folder you used to root the phone? Put the recovery file (go for twrp recovery, you can find it in original development of this phone) in that folder, connect the phone in fastboot mode, open cmd and type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img", it will send recovery to the phone. From there you can install roms. Never use rom manager, it bricks your phone. And whenever you flash a rom, remember to flash kernel or it will be in boot loop

wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I don't really understand what could give you the problem. Tell the exact steps you are doing
steps are.. I have downloaded fastboot zip it has adb, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll, fastboot
i have downloaded twrp.mg (openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou)
Opened cmd from same folder typed fastboot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou or openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou.img
then pressed recovery
phone restarted green circle thing and then Red triangle with exclam sign. then rebooted by own and nothing happened.
I might be wrong doing it but unable to do anyting.
Can I unroot and start again?

Root doesn't matter when you're S-OFF and have a custom recovery installed. Root comes into play when the OS is actually running and from the sound of it, your internal storage got wiped, hence why it can't mount system.
When you are in TWRP, plug your phone in to the computer and it should allow you to do adb commands.
Grab the ROM of your choice, I'd recommend InsertCoin but you can use any ROM, download that to your computer.
In TWRP, do Wipe/Advanced Wipe and check Dalvik, System, Cache, Data (do not check Internal Storage, microSD, or USB-OTG) then swipe to wipe, reboot recovery.
Now open up a command prompt with adb and do adb push romnamehere.zip /sdcard/romnamehere.zip
Then install the ROM as normal.
Reboot and if you get hung at the HTC screen again, you can try the same thing but wipe internal storage as well. Note that will wipe everything on your device but it may fix it. If it does not, you may have a failing eMMC chip, something I saw a few times on the M7, which would require a replacement device. I don't believe we have a RUU out yet which would kind of mean you're SOL. You would have to use the instructions to return to 100% stock in order to get warranty service or if you have insurance you would have to pay your deductible since you modified the device.
Before wiping internal storage post here again if the above instructions fail. There are other things you can try first.

Check the MD5 of the roms you are downloading. Also, which rom are you trying to flash and which phone do you have?
What recovery are you using?
Assuming the MD5 of the roms you are flashing do matchup and this isn't just a corrupted data issue. I would redownload whatever recovery you're using,
Check the MD5 of the recovery image

When you download a ROM, typically the md5 checksum is posted on the download page. Using an md5 checking program, you can verify the integrity of the files you download by generating the md5 checksum of the file you downloaded and comparing it to the one posted on the site where you downloaded your file from.
Use google if you do not have an md5 checking program. Flashing something like a firmware or anything that alters any emmc partitions that has data corruption could brick your phone. Hence and MD5 checking tool is invaluable when rooting/modding your phone.

Hmmm on Verizon??? Hmmm Verizon does have it's own separate XDA forum.. maybe you should try roms from there?? not sure if they're different but if XDA differentiated, then probably..

I see now why you're having problems. You don't understand even the most basic things regarding rooting :/ sorry I'm not into hand holding. You have a lot of reading to do or maybe someone more patience then I will be nice enough to explain everything to you
