Hi all,
one of my friends has a One X. Actually hes running ARHD 6.1.0 but now he gets some force closes of barely any app. I suggested him to update to a newer version, unfortunately he doesn´t know how and i never modded a htc phone so i dont know how to proceed - i did it on samsung phones/tablets so i know the basics.
OK now to my question. As far as i understood this Rom is not using CWM recovery am i right? Since the phone is already rooted how do i have to proceed to updating/flashing an updated version of ARHD?
I can´t find any tutorial on their site
Download rom
Put in sd card in phone
Flash rom in recovery full wipe
As one x doesn't have s off need to boot into fastboot and flash boot.img from rom
Ensure you clear cache in fastboot
That's the basics there are plenty of more thorough guides though

First of all i must say i m new to rooting androids, did research for a couple of days then went ahead with rooting my Htc desire z which i did an OTA update to gingerbread 2.3.3
I downgraded to froyo 2.2 using this "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo" ..i had to create a gold card.
The boot loader shows :
vision pvt ship s-off
Hboot -0.85.0005
Micorp-0425
radio-26.03.02.18_M3
eMMC-boot
oct 11 2010,20:10:38
Next i used the 2nd post of this "[GUIDE][30/06/2011]Root AND Downgrade Desire Z/G2(S-OFF/ClockWorkMod) -No Gingerbread" to flash the Virtuous Unity 2.39.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid
The rom ran fine for a day, then i started getting boot loops, it would boot, show loading then again restart to the htc logo. At first it loaded after 4-5 tries, then it started looping forever.
I restored my nandroid bakup via clockwork recovery...it worked for an hour, then again my own htc sense 2.2 froyo backed up rom also started boot looping.
I tried the "[ROM][10/21/11] Bulletproof MIUI :: 1.10.21 :: OC/UV/Stable!" it works for a while, then again the horror of boot loops renderin my desire z unusable
I tried cleaning the "wipe dalvik cache" "wipe battery stats" via clockwork recovery v3.0.2.4 nothing worked, i did "wipe data /factory reset" , "wipe cache partition" mounts and storage ...."format /cache, /data, /system" then again rooted, and installed the rom via browse from sd card menu.
again the mobile works for an hr or two and the boot loops occurs, and wont stop
im clueless on what to do. can anybody advise me on what to do so that i dont have to throw my phone away
EDIT:
Problem solved. Seems CWM 5 was causing the issue
Flash the latest cyanogen nightly. Do a full wipe first.

thanks, will try that
Just read the startertopic from the virtous unity.
When you experiance reboots etc aply patch.
Important Notes
If you are experiencing random freezes and/or reboots, this is likely due to your device being incapable of handling our overclocking defaults. Download and apply this flashable patch, which will reduce the maximum CPU frequency to 1Ghz and likely eliminate this issue.

after instaling rom succesfully do'nt reboot but flash this patch. All will be fine.

I was having boot loops even after installing different roms like MIUI, cynaogen, and even the default stock rom...
I did some research and found out that many people who are having multiple roms boot loop issue have one thing in common.. "clockwork mod recovery".
So i uninstalled the recovery and flashed with the stock htc recovery and then i reflashed with the stock htc rom....and voila no more boot loops and the stock rom which didnt worked previously is now running fine. I still have S-ON, but now im a little afraid to flash with a new rom again
Can anybody confirm that CWM recovery can cause this boot loop ??
I'm not sure about the bootloops with CWM, but if you decide to reroot, as an alternative, I highly suggestion flashing the 4EXT Recovery. It's amazing. I've had zero issues with it. And it has many additional options and fabulous support. The link is in my signature.

CWM v5 has been known to bootloop, v3 doesn't (or at least didn't when I used it last)

I've read that the latest CWM fixes the bootloop issue but I find that 4ext is far better so I haven't even tried using CWM since 4ext came out.

I bought the "4EXT Recovery Control" from the android market today...haven't flashed any new roms yet...just running the stock rooted rom to see if everything works fine. So far so good.
One noob question though, what if i again wipe everything and get stock htc recovery for some reason, do i again have to purchase the 4EXT or since i have already purchased it, i just get to download it.

When you wipe, you're using recovery to do the wiping so no, you won't lose the 4ext recovery. You will lose the 4ext Recovery Control app, as you will every other app you downloaded, but your purchase is linked to your Google account so as soon as you sign in with your account the Market will begin downloading everything you purchased.
If you plan on flashing new ROMs, I highly suggest Titanium Backup Pro. Before flashing a ROM, use it to back up all of your apps and their data and create a flashable zip of the program. With 4ext you can flash multiple zips so, set it to flash the new ROM and the Titanium app and that way you can just restore all your apps at once rather than waiting for the Market to download them. The added bonus is that all your data gets restored (saved games, etc.). Just be sure to never restore "system data" unless you're flashing like ROMs.

I really need help doing this. I got the phone with the custom rom and I absolutely hate it. It is constantly crashing on me. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
Look in the dev section for a stock rooted rom. Best of both worlds. That's what I did to my gf's bionic. Xboarder has a good one. I would also recommend andromadus ics. If you don't know how to flash, let us know.

I don't know what I am supposed to do. I've never done anything like this to a phone.
What version of CyanogenMod is the phone running ? There is no way it should be crashing, CM is a very stable, reliable ROM. Check the version in the Settings->AboutPhone menu.
I suggest doing a factory reset/wipe to see if that helps.
If your phone is running CM then it must be S-OFF, so it will be very straightforward to flash another ROM.
You normally flash a ROM in one of two ways. You either get a zip image, for a stock ROM, which you rename to PC10IMG.zip and place on the top folder of your SD card and reboot into the bootloader to flash it (you go into the bootloader by switching the phone off, then hold power and Vol Down at the same time and it should find the image and flash it). Or you download a custom ROM onto your SD card and flash it from within the ROM Manager app.

Hi, I'm having some trouble getting a rom on my phone. It is the CDMA version that I unlocked and rooted and switched over to Page Plus. Everything worked great. I wanted to try the new ROMS, but every time I get them installed, the phone works for 5-15 seconds after booting (asks for wifi, google accounts, etc). It freezes for a moment, works for another second, and then reboots. This continues indefinitely.
I am absolutely sure that I have followed all the steps for the roms I am using. For example, here is what I do for the pacman rom:
Download the zip, extract the boot.img
Boot the phone into fastboot, run fastboot flash boot boot.img with the extracted img.
Load up the recovery, system reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system
Install the pacman v15.3
Boot again into fastboot and replash the boot.img just for good measure.
Reboot the phone, and then it hits the reboot loop.
I've tried to use another kernel (jmzone v4) as well as android open Kang and SuPrimo, but I get the same thing with each of them.
I also tried to restore my backup, but now it doesn't boot. I don't have the original boot.img, so can anyone tell me where to get that?
So, any help?
Thanks!
If you had investigated before posting, you would have seen that this is a common problem with an easy fix. Your radio version is too high, which means you took the update on stock rom.
Relock and ruu. There is a guide in the general section about bootlooping/rebooting upon boot.
We are all happy to help, but please investigate and do your homework first before just creating threads next time. It helps us and it helps you grow your knowledge of android.

Fix
I agree that you should have done your homework. I've had this problem too [link to my thread], and I'll save you some time by giving you the threads.
You're going to need to flash the RUU to get it back to stock.
You'll find links to your RUU on this thread (I used the "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" for my Virgin Mobile CDMA phone).
Then follow this tutorial for exact steps on how to flash the RUU. It's the best that I've found.
Then try following the steps to flashing your ROMs. I've tried flashing AOKP and Paranoid with stock kernels and others (jmz's and SuperSick), but the only one that really has worked was recommended to me by another user. Try the CM10 ROM with the latest version of the SuperSick kernel (the latest I found was 12_21_12-16-04, which worked, but you'll have to look around for it). It's pretty awesome. Don't for get to click thanks to those posts that have helped you.
Lol you are a nicer person than I.

Help, I will describe the following and any help I would love. I have the PRIMOC VM usa HTC ONE V.
Using Hasoon2000's All in one toolkit I have successfully Unlocked my phone, flashed TWRP recover 2.4.4, got root, and made a backup.
I then continue on to wipe cache and system and Factory reset to prepare to install ANY ROM. When I try to install the rom every time it just says Error in /sdcard/...[wherever rom is] (Status 1) FAILED
So then I proceed to restore my backup (this is why you always make a backup) and that works fine
Does the "(Status 1)" mean anything important?
I thought this was happening because I was running the newer radio so I used the RUU tool and now am using the good radio (not 0928) But this did not fix anything. This same thing happens over again. I have checked to make sure and I do have full root privileges.
I then tried to flash boot.img first and jmz kernel flashed successfully, but no rom will flash.
Why will NO ROM install?
I feel like I am missing something obvious but can't figure it out.
Also, whenever I do the factory restore it goes through all the process then fails when trying to wipe sd:ext , but my card is not partitioned. <I didn't know if that would be any help>
I am not a complete newb at all of this (running lg optimus for years- just new to the htc methods)
NEED Help please...
Can anyone help me out with this?
I have not made any progress since yesterday. I am successful at flashing kernels, I have flashed the boot.img of the sic kernel, but on both kernels I have no WiFi with the stock ROM.
So I either need to find the stock boot.img or have help flashing a ROM that fails everytime.
When every instruction says "Extract ROM" that is only to pull out the boot.img right, we don't flash an extracted package you flash exactly what you downloaded right?

When u flash sickkernel make sure you also install the zip through your recovery that should fix your WiFi problems and which recovery are you using ? Twrp or cwm?

Hi Obeezy562,
my advice is to use the recovery program CMW or TWRP to re-format your external SD card. Then follow the normal instrutions and install the rom from zip using your recovery program. If you still have the same issue just let me know and I'll ponder longer.

Ok, so tonight I will reformat my sdcard with TWRP then try to install the ROM. I tried the CWM recovery, but it was not touch based and did not respond to the power button as the OK, only the volume rocker worked.
I will try CWM recovery if someone can provide a link to the latest one, perhaps I was using an old one.
Twrp 2.4.4 I've also had issues with flashing some roms then downgraded to Twrp 2.2.0 and everything has been well since

I can add that twrp 2.4 does have some issues. I use a cwm I found on google somewhere and if works just fine.

Hi guys,
not long ago I've rooted a Wildfire which is a friend of mine's old phone. Now he wants to get it back to stock but I'm facing some issues...
I've tried with RUU and it fails and said it wants to start to recover. When I unplug the USB it reads "Failed" in something which looks like the HBOOT and the battery must be removed to reboot - and it boots normally (no need to recover anything).
Tried also with a Safe to flash ROM from the CWM recovery and it returns something about the script being outdated and a new one should be used...
Could someone, please, tell me what i'm doing wrong? I've first did factory reset from the phone, then I've done a factory reset (wipe data) from the CWM. Tried fixing permissions... still - I can't ;(
