Put a ROM on your sd-card, enter recovery, wipe all partitions except sd-card, then flash the ROM.
Fact: This is the 2nd post in this thread, and my 2222nd post ever

Try reflashing 4ext recovery. Do this by downloading the 4ext as a PB99IMG.zip, and installing it like this.
Then continue to flash a rom, as said by abaaaabbbb63.

Anyways, you already have 4ext. As I said in my post above, just download a ROM, put it on your sd-card, do a full wipe (except sd-card), and then flash the ROM.

U already have 4ext recovery so dont worry bout the PB99IMG
The PB99IMG is not a zip u flash in recovery, its done in bootloader (instruction for were given to ya how to flash it plus instructions were there in the thread were u downloaded it)
Now follow the instructions given above to flash a rom. Il give u more
1) download a rom u want
2) put it on ur sdcard
3) boot into recovery
4) go to wipe/format
5) format all partitions except sdcard
6) go to install from sdcard
7) flash rom u downloded
8) reboot
9) enjoy
Ps: i hope u made an ext4 partition, if not then check andu's sig for a guide and do that first. Once thats done then follow these instructions to flash ur rom.
Edit: andu beat me to it

That 159mb PB99IMG is an ruu, u cant flash it in recovery, its done in bootloader. Plus dont ever use it unless theres no other option. Only custom roms in the development thread u flash in recovery.

Help with Desire Hboot

Hey
wanted to flash my Desire to a new rom.
Starting with alpharev:
http://alpharev.nl/
Problem with it: Actually im using hb00t 0.75.0000!
So i downloaded PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip, named it PB99IMG.zip, restartet phone to bootloader, pressed bootloader -> fastboot -> then for some seconds there is checking ... (PB99IMG.zip)! and then it jumps back. nothing happens!
the first line in the bootloader says "Bravo unknown ship S-on"... is this the problem? No S-off? How to handle it?
Thanks!

Flashing an alpharev hboot does not change your ROM. Go to the noob proof guide on the android dev section.

- Apply SDCARD:Update.zip
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache Partition
And i wiped data and cant install anything
Turn off signature verification under "flash .zip from SD" or something like that in recovery.

Yeah, sorry, I thought it would be as easy to flash my One X as it was with my o2x.
I checked the log (kept it open) and I see now that I failed to flash Fastboot KIT V8.5!
I also thought that I (like the old times) should have flashed the rom in the custom recovery, but I see that I should probably have done that in Windows aswell!
Partial correct , you need to flash the rom in recovery and the boot.img that is found in the rom.zip file with fastboot commands from pc to the phone in fastboot mode
And let's be honest, if you have to ask what a custom recovery is afterwards then the homework is not done !
The recovery is kinda like BIOS on Windows. This sentence really cleared up my thoughts.

I've found the boot.img and I tried to flash it through fastboot mode, just said Failed: Remote not allowed.
Like I said before about the recovery-thing : wanted to make sure I didn't **** things up (which I evidently did anyways).
And yes, I do understand your point about that the homework haven't been done.
I noticed (and read) the first time you wrote about "some people", I've gotten the point .
Promise that I will read up more!

Home in 1 1/2 hour. Bootloader is still unlocked and cwm is installed. Installed maximus through recovery but as said... can't get the phone out off airplane-mode :<.
Oke uhm the maximum rom is a ICS rom ? Not trying to flash a JB rom did you ?
And if the bootloader is unlocked you should flash the boot.img oke . Hmmm
You did
fastboot flash boot boot.img
With the command in dos prompt ?

maXimus is a JB-rom, yes.
Yes, fastboot flash boot boot.img is the command I used.
EDIT: I missed the point where I was supposed to extract and start a .bat-file, apparently it's been done before and I must have missed out on searching for that for some strange reason...
*snip snip*
Tried updating 8.0.1 to 8.5.0 using the otherwise promising OTA feature.
Unfortunately, it resulted in a complete cluster-f¤ck.
Yes, I did NOT do a full wipe during the update.
Now, I have no cell coverage at all. Airplane Mode is ON, "Closing".... When I go to Settings > About, the software information shows no Baseband version, so no baseband driver installled...(?)
Trying rebooting, entering TWRP recovery, clearing cache, dalvik cache, fixing permissions and rebooting again, but this fixed nothing...
Trying rebooting, entering TWRP recovery, resetting phone, but this fixed nothing...
Another example of ALWAYS having to doing a full wipe when updating customs ROMs, I gues...
Sigh...
I think there is something wrong with the ROM. I made a full whipe (came from ardh 12) and i have the same. No guide selecting network and flightmode is on and no service. I have tried reflashing and making a whipe after flash but still problem.
First i though it was a kernel issue but no boot.img in the rom-file.
*snip snip*
So, yes. I'm a total dimwit =).
Finally solved atleast, thanks alot for the help!
I think you have to flash a ICS rom. What is your hboot number ? Is you're hboot 1.12 then you can not flash a JB rom !
You can find hboot version in the bootloader menu
Try a ics rom and i think you will be fine !
Try this
Put Rom.zip on sd card
Extract boot.img and flash it in fastboot
Enter recovery and wipe/factory reset
Wipe all caches / dalvik cache
And charge the phone full first before going at it again ... might be good to do !
Flash Rom and reboot .... I will bet it boots up fine
Thanks for the help, but the rom is installed... and yes, it is JellyBean =).

Hopefully if you have any questions, they can be answered by using the search option or someone else with this device that happens to check this thread will be kind enough to help.

posted on rumrunner.us. should work for both primou and primoc. Note, it is highly recommended (mandatory?) to be on a normal sense-based ICS rom and using an unsecure (preferably stock based) kernel. If you get poor results with other configurations, don't bother asking for help please!

S-OFF is here rumrunner.us
Huge thanks to beaups
This rom is probably most compatible with rumrunner
The boot.img inside is unsecure so flash away and GO GET S-OFFED!!!
Here's the unsecure boot.img that I used to achieve s-off.

Added init.d support
Added Root Permissions with Chainfire's SuperSu
This ROM was cooked with dsixda's Android Kitchen
Thank you and credit goes out to the both of them.
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
I have posted this ROM for safetynet/fall-back purposes.
I've noticed fellas posting please help, I forgot/didn't make a backup.
This is for you. Worried and maybe even a little scared that your phone is now a beautiful paper weight.
This ROM is completely stock with added init.d support and root.
It is still odexed, and with stock kernel.( I'm still learning/attempting to build one with extra governors and over clocking abilities ).
Instructions below....
1. Unlock your Bootloader by following the instructions at htcdev
1a. If you've succesfully unlocked your Bootloader, that means you have your fastboot files on your PC and know in general how to use them.
2. Download an openrecovery of your choice. I personally use TeamWinRecoveryProject 2.2.0 without any issues at all. (See the attached File)
3. Place the recovery.img that you have chosen into your fastboot folder.
3a. Change the name of the .img to recovery.img (just easier that way when sending the flash command)
4. Now open a terminal while in the fastboot folder.
4a. On Windows- hold shift+right click the mouse then click open command terminal here.
4b. On Ubuntu- CTRL+ALT+T to open a terninal then cd fastboot.
5.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img​
5a. ^^^^^ Type this into the terminal. ^^^^^
5b. You now have a custom/openrecovery.
6. After the recovery.img is flashed, reboot your Bootloader.
6a. fastboot reboot-bootloader​
7. After booted back into bootloader, use your volume-down button to highlight Recovery.
Now press your Power button to select it.
7a. Now your are in Recovery!
8. Click Wipe, then Cashe, then Dalvick, then Factory Rest, then System.
8a. This will wipe all of your phone nice and clean for a fresh install.
9. Click Home, then Install, and find the ROM.zip, click it, then install. Let it finish installing the click Wipe Cashe/Dalvick.
10. Navigate back to the Home screen and click Reboot, then Bootloader
10a. I hope you have a copy of the ROM.zip on your PC.
11. Open the ROM.zip and copy/extract the boot.img from inside it and place it in your fastboot folder.
12. Open a terminal once again.
13.fastboot flash boot boot.img​
13a. Let it finish.
14. fastboot reboot​
15. Enjoy.
These instructions are for use with TWRP (TeamWinRecoveryProject) They may be different using CWMrecovery (ClockWorkMod).
I made a backup of my stock rom via twrp. Updated the kernel and installed shpongle. When I tried to go back to my stock via twrp it would not boot due to the kernel. I wonder if that will be the case here

This should allow me to update my PRL, right?

I'll cross reference the updater-script to another one I've used on a different Rom I cooked and have been running for over two weeks..... See if there are any differences between the two.

Ok I found a difference in the updater-script, the update binaries are identical so that shouldn't be the issue. Problem I have is that I don't have a working computer to fix the updater-script. It won't be until June 26th that I can apply it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
P.S. are you flashing with TWRP?
Yes sir, TWRP. and no worries, it apparently just isn't your ROM. Angry HTC and jmz's stock ROM both give the same error. even after a full format of the SD. Rhythmic Rom 1.4 works though, and is what I was running. Was trying to return the device to somewhat stock tho as im either going to sell it or let my gf use it, so I was hoping for stable and to have the charge LED and icons working, hopefully.

If you downgrade TWRP to 2.3 you should be fine.
Sent from my One V using xda premium
ah, I'm on 2.5, so I'll look into that...
did the downgrade to TWRP 2.3.0.0, still the only thing i can install is Rhythimc Rom, everything else fails to install... unless i just got some really crappy downloads, so i'm off to try to dl the roms again...
Actually, instead I swapped out recoveries for CWM. aaaand it worked.

[Q] Recovery bootloop

Hey guys, so I just flashed MIUI V5 from this week and it worked like a charm, but then I tried updating to the .17 update that came out today, and it seemd to flash perfectly, but then my device rebooted and now it is stuck in a recovery bootloop, always boots to recovery, tried changing recoveries, wiping cache, data and dalvik and nothing so far.
I may be able to fix by just flashing a KDZ, but then ill loose all my data, do you guy know of any other solutions :/? Thanks

That is only recovery.img file. It isn't recovery partition. But I wander what it did with recovery.img. Maybe that is the reason why you got recovery boot loop.

Yup, Kdz was the only solution for me, spent the day learning how to use ADB to pull out all my files, I think i recovered the most important stuff, and picked up a little bit of adb knowledge so all good, never had a good experience with MIUI Ota`s tho, only manual flashing from now on

Alright, first, do you know what ADB is? If not watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVXX-YdhRU0
The command to pull stuff from the phone is: adb pull "Directory you want to pull"
For example: adb pull /sdcard/
That should pull out everything in the internal storage to the adb folder.
It is mostly about logic, so after a few times of screwing up your phone and a few hours playing with commands and such you'll get used to it.
Today we got v 8.21. I wonder if the error still exist I'm about to update now, will report soon.
Edit: still recovery boot loop. Don't even try to update. Or you'll end up kdz the whole thing.
Edit: Anyone knows how to report to developer of the rom?

M8 Stock recovery

hey XDA, I've got an M8 on Wind Mobile with clockworkmod and a stock ROM, and there's a system update I can't take without the stock recovery. I searched all over the place, but couldn't find the correct recovery. Can someone point me to the download or upload the stock recovery from their phone pretty please? The CID on this phone is GLOBA001. Bootloader unlocked, and S-ON.
Download OTA, select install later. Copy OTA zip from internal storage/Download to PC.
Open OTA zip with 7-zip, open firmware.zip, extract out recovery.img
Use this extracted recovery.img then continue OTA
Ninja'd......

I'll give that a try, thanks
Hey, I downloaded the OTA but I cant find the file anywhere. I tried OTA snatcher, but nothing happens. I cant even find the file at all. I do have root. how else can I get the OTA onto my PC?
EDIT: Never mind I got it. flashed the recovery but its still not taking the update, it just hangs on the white htc screen. cant boot into the stock recovery at all.
Maybe I'll just start a new thread then...
There is no need for a new thread. Keep everything in one thread. So anyone willing to help you can easily find info on your problem.
Have you try press & hold both power and volume up button, when it goes black quickly release both buttons and press & hold volume down button. This will take youto hboot then select recovery and check whether stock recovery is properly installed.

tried that many times. When I select recovery, it just hangs on the white htc screen forever, never booting into the recovery and I have to force reboot it. The only recovery that seems to boot is clockworkmod...
Just forget about entering the stock recovery for awhile as there is no reason for you to go in there except to check the error log when doing update.
After you installed the stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), reboot and do OTA again, download and select install ... what happen then ?

Then it boot back to your old version without OTA updating ?
What's your old version no. ?
I know WIND is a rare version around here, don't see any stock backup anywhere.

Yes, then it boots back up normally into the old version, 4.4.2 and asks to apply the update again.

I feel it's odd that it didn't go to recovery when you correctly installed a stock recovery. If the recovery image is wrong version, it still go to recovery and give error mark (the famous red triangle) but yours it just hang .. I run out of idea.
If you have time, maybe you can make a nandroid backup of boot & system (don't need data as it contains your data) and upload for me to have a look at it. Then I can rebuild the nandroid for others too. So far I don't see any Wind backup at all on XDA or anywhere on the internet. So it's up to you. If you do, you can put in dropbox or Drive and PM me the link.
