[Q] Help | cant flash any rom - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I tried to flash a new rom on my wildfire but every rom i tried got "bootlooped".
Thats what i did:
(followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12782364)
1. Verified i had hboot 1.01.0001.
2. Installed and deleted htc sync
3. Hacked hboot drivers
4. Usb debugging is on
5. Used revolutionary, when asked - installed cwm recovery.
6. Booted to bootloader. It now says "hboot 6.01.1002" (after installing revolutionary of course).
7. Got into recovery (cwm v4.0.1.4).
8. Cleaned data, cache and dalvik.
9. Install zip from sd - and then i tried mini cm9, miui v4, cyanogenmod 9 (each one after cleaning as stated in 8)
10. Reboot
11. Crap. Stuck in bootloop. Every time.
I have no idea what to do... Lucky me i backed up using cwm, so i can still restore with no problem. But cant install any new rom!
If you have any idea - i would be glad to try... I'm quite desperate.
Thanks!

Hi, could you help me with the backup files. A friend brought his phone to me for upgrade. Unfortunately I didn't do a backup, and now CWM cannot flash any of the ROMS. I need help badly.
Thanks.

[Q] Problems installing CM9

Hi there,
I'm new so I'm sorry if there is already a thread like this.
I'm having problems installing CM9 on my Gio. I'm following the instructions by Maclaw. Here are the steps I do:
1. install via Recovery Menu the px-cwm-v2.zip (ClockworkMod I think)
2. reboot
3. install the CM9 main zip (cm-gio-ota-eng.13052012.zip)
4. factory reset
5. reboot
6. Apply patch v2 and v3 (patch-cm9-v2.zip & patch-cm9-v3.zip)
7. reboot
I thought that was it but all i see now on the screen is "ANDROID". I tried rebooting several times but nothing works for me.
I tried the whole process now for 3 times but everytime the same failure. I have now Android 2.3.3 with root rights but I want to try out CM9.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong so pls help me if you know where the problem is.
Thanks a lot

Don't apply patch, they are very outdated and should be removed.

[Q] SOLVED - Cyanogenmod 10 won't boot

Hi guys, I recently tried to install Cyanogenmod10 but failed. Here's what I did:
1. Rooted the phone and installed SuperSU
2. Flashed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
3. Downloaded cm-10-20121218-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip, extracted boot.img and flashed it.
4. Restarted in custom recovery and wiped cache, data files and Dalvik cache.
5. Flashed the new rom
6. Wiped cache again.
7. Rebooted. -> Problem: The phone just displays the white screen with HTC logo and won't boot, no matter how long I wait.
I've tried to restore the old rom and boot image (I made a backup before starting) but it doesn't help.
I am thankful for any helpful advice, as this is my only phone and is currently unusable.
------
Update: I managed to solve the problem, scroll down.
Hboot?
The boot.img that is present in the zip works only for older hboot versions. Check your hboot version first.
If you're on hboot 1.23, 1.28 or 1.31

[Q] P5220 stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3"

Hi Someone can suggest how can I solve following problem?
P5220 stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3" after I done following steps or (my itchy hand).
1. I flash TWP with Odin, PDA, choose file, uncheck auto-reboot, looks fine. I can enter recovery mode.
2. Then I flash root.zip to try whether I can get root, because I need to install font which is not supported by official rom.
3 Then after reboot I still can get in OS and seems like superuser working. Installed font installer and installed my font.
4. After I reboot to refresh my fonts, the tablet is stuck on samsung logo.(I tried 3-4 time, still cannot)
5.So I decide to install custom rom, I download BinDroid_ONE_P5210_V2.0.0.zip and flash with TWM(done some wipe that suggested).
6. This time stuck on the title( samsung galaxy tab 3) . Also tried version 2.0.1 and reboot,also same.
7. I tried to wipe again and re-installed different ROM version , still the same.
8. Some more try to install CWM again , wipe data, cache and Davik cache, install BinDroid_ONE_P5210_V2.0.1 ROM
Same result.
9. Install ROM again without wipe, reboot, same result.
10. Install bindroid_kernel_p5210_v0.0.1 , Kernal . Same thing.
11. Wipe Cache and Devik cache and reboot also stuck at text title.
(Or can I go back to Official status?) just ask I am very new with Samsung. I am HTC lover, I root and installed
so many HTC models, no problem at all, but now my first Samsung make me sad. :'(
If anyone understand and how to solve it, please guide me.
I am not very demanding but I wish someone know well and help me.
I will give well credit or give a lot drinks. :highfive:
(Forgive my bad Eng and exciting questions)

[Q] Status 7 trying to install new ROM CM11 (KitKat)

Hello all,
Please can someone help me??
I have a HTC One X, I have unlocked my phone on HTCDev, it is showing as rooted (not broken lol) and i can add superuser on there.
I have CWM installed v.5.8.4.0 however, when looking in the ROM Manager, trying to update it is shows me 6.0.4.7 under recovery setup. but when i boot into recovery it still shows me 5.8.4.0??
I have been trying to install the Beanstalk-4.4.240-20140206-endeavouru.zip...
I keep getting stuck in the installation with the message status 7 and then installation stops..
I have cleared all the files and cache that is required prior and still fails. I have tried removing the assert / getpro lines and I still get status 7 during installation.
I have tried a few different ROMs all telling me they are for HTC One X (so i am guessing these just are the right ROMs)
The only think i can see i have is that i have S-On, but i cannot seem to find anywhere to turn this off.. Is this the only reason it is not working????
I have tried another recovery images as well and still no luck?? (unless i did that wrong)
Please can someone help me, I would really like to put a Kitkat ROM on my phone as HTC are not going to get this done..
Ditch rommanager, it does not work on a s-on hox. Second you need to flash a kitkat recovery to install kitkat roms and a sense recovery to install sense 5 roms or earlier build aosp roms.
So for kitkat download the latest philz touch recovery available, and if you want sense based roms i suggest to use philz touch 5.15......
You have to flash boot.img & recoverys via fastboot (pc) to the phone !

Thank you i have checked this out.. but i can only find the Philz touch 6.19.3 clockworkmod 6.0.4 so i have updated
Just a slight issue now where i am cleaning all what has to be cleared and then installing the ROM and GAPP which both are now installing by the look of it and no errors.. but i am looping back into Philz touch rather than the phone restarting.. Even if i restore the previous version it still comes back to Philz touch..
do you know why this is happening? I tried CM11 Rom and also the Beanstalk 4.4 ROM (As well as restore) all coming back to recovery mode.. Im lost now
Try this recovery and flash a sense 5 rom to check if that works. It should not boot back.to the recovery.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yqzlpqo8illa53j/Philz recovery 5.15.9.img
And can you post the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar all
And delete the imei and serial number before posting it !!
ok the 5.15 installed fine, but the images here are giving me status 7 and restore is not working for me from here either
i have attached the getvar all outcome
The specs are fine, download a sense 5 rom like viper X or arhd. And install it like this :
Flash the boot.img of the rom !
Then enter the recovery and make a FULL wipe :
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage - format cache , data and system
Then install the rom (if you go for viper you select cache wipe only and full rom install in the aroma)
ok I realised i didn't do the boot.img correctly.. i tried it again now but went back to Touch 6 and the Beanstalk has installed YAY!! :laugh:
You said "download a sense 5 rom like viper X or arhd" are these better than Beanstalk? I am asking as this is my first 4.4 ROM i have installed...?
I do have to say i do like the sense 5 so wondering if it is worth changing ROM to what you are suggesting?
Otherwise it is now working... Thank you heaps for all your help
Ah no there is no "better" rom. I suggested these because i have experience with these roms. Just for testing purposes.
But all is fine. And you know how to flash so all good.
CASE CLOSED !

HTC One X Trying to install ROM but stuck with problems.

Hi, so recently my HTC One X has been acting up so I decided to install a ROM to make it much faster, so I had to unlock the bootloader. When i've done that I flashed CWM on my device. Then I tried to install a rom that was on the device and it didn't install which leads me to my first problem, the page said I needed to reset everything and use the fastboot command to flash the zip file that worked but when I went to CWM (to install gapps) the device never booted in the ROM just kept going back to CWM. So I googled this and there was multiple things I tired out like adb command etc also it would be easier if this problem was fixed if this button worked (mount USB storage) I press that and it does not work. So then I don't know what to do. I'm stuck here please help me the rom was cm-11-20160815-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip.

CWM was abandoned a long time ago in the community so it won't cope with the instructions modern roms use. Its a bit sad that CWM came to a such sudden end I kind of miss the different recoveries based on it. Not to mention philz touch recovery..
Anyway go here: (its a twrp recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x/orig-development/storage-layout-hox-endeavoru-t3022358
Read the instructions and flash the provided .img file and your phone should be up and running within the hour.
Edit: I'm not sure if that rom uses the new or old layout. The documenation is more than a bit poor because the device info is outdated on the cyanogenmod wiki. Last edited in year 2012..
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Endeavoru_Info
If the rom will not flash with the new layout recovery provided above.
Read instrutions how to revert to old layout first. And flash this older recovery from here:

Really? Didn't realise that... Im trying to charge my phone because I can't flash it because the battery is too low. So thanks for telling me. I will post when Ive flashed it to my phone. When you flash it dosen't get rid of all the roms that's already on the phone? Because I cant access the phone within usb but does this recovery solve that? Like mount usb storage like in CWM?

Flashing the recovery will not wipe anything except the recovery partition obviously. When you boot to twrp you will be able to access the internal storage by going to Mount and press the Mount usb storage twice. And the one x should be detected on your pc.
But when you're done with the backup you will wipe all partitions with the Format data option as described in the thread I linked yesterday. So backup all important data to your computer.
Thank you so much! I'm up and running!
