[Q] Odd error - in RECOVERY - execute update.zip or not?

So I grabbed the OTA ZIP file that was posted here - THANK YOU by the way.
I boot into recovery and I am presented with the following :
Android System Recovery (2e)
the usual 4 menu options for Reboot, Apply sdcard:Update.zip, Wipe data and wipe cache.
I get an error on the recovery screen that says :
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Can i still run the update? This is a relatively stock Incredible (Rooted, S-Off then unrooted.
Thx
Ron

I got that same error, pretty sure it just has to do with the 4 recovery commands your seeing right now. It probably just recreates that file once you see the commands. I went ahead and flashed the update.zip. I got other errors as it was flashing, but I don't they're linked.

Stuck in Bootloop

Hello there,
I have a "tiny little" problem with my Desire Z.
I tried to install cyanogenmod 7.2.
At the beginning I followed the instructions by the CM-Team:
wiki(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)org/w/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_%28Gingerbread%29
After that I followed the instructions here:
wiki(dot)cyanogenmod(dot)org/w/Install_CM_for_vision
Everything worked fine. CM7 started and I was able to use it.
After that I wanted to install gapps.
So I downloaded a zip.File, started the app "Rom Manager".
This needed do update ClockworkMode to Version 5.0.X.X.
Then I was able to install the gapps.zip and the Problems started.
After the reboot the phone shows me the pin-field, but after I type the pin the phone reboots immediately.
So I tried other Roms like the CM V7.1 but the same Problem here.
So I downgraded CWM from the V5.0.X.X to V3.0.2.4 via fastboot.
After that the same procedure:
- wipe /factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache
- install the CM V7.2 and ... reboot all the Time.
I don’t know what to do anymore.
Can somebody please help me?

Odp: Stuck in Bootloop
Did you try another rom?

Not yet.
my problem is, if i get to CWM 3 and the try :
Code:
adb push virtuous_quattro_rc3_vision.zip /sdcard/
the file the file gets pushed, but if I look after that via "apply update from sdcard -> chose zip from sdcard"
there is no such file ...
... my bad wrong adb push command should be
Code:
adb push virtuous_quattro_rc3_vision.zip /sdcard
..
Now the Rom is installing.
Okay same problem here.
Rom starts I see the android gui and then ... rebootLOOP

First of all, there is no Android 4.3 released yet. Look in the development section to find a rom to your taste. I would recommend something stable as a first custom rom.
Concerning the unlock token, the EasyAceRootTool also wants to install version 3.13 somewhere during those steps. First finish that, then follow the steps on the unlock token with HTCDev.

Simple, basic keypoints.
1. Unlock bootloader by following ALL steps @ htcdev.com (fully unlocked)
2. Flash a recovery.img via fastboot on pc.
3. Flash a superuser.zip via recovery.
4. Backup rooted stock Rom. (save just in case of problems)
5. Flash New Rom.zip via recovery (need to do full wipe).
6. MUST DO, DON'T SKIP ---> Flash the boot.img (inside Rom.zip) via fastboot on pc for every Rom change! Including when doing a recovery.
7. You tell me.

You need to update your hboot.

Hello,
when i start my phone with vol- and the power button, it says unlocked or something in pink.
when i do recovery, ClockworkMod opens i did following steps :
5. Use the ‘backup and restore’ feature of recovery to backup your existing ROM installation, software and data. This step is known as performing a nandroid backup. ALWAYS perform a backup before flashing a custom ROM, UNLESS you can afford to lose everything that’s on your phone at the moment.
Note: ALWAYS choose to perform the following steps 6, 7 and 8 UNLESS the ROM you are attempting to flash is an updated version of the same ROM that you are currently using, and is compatible with the current installation’s data. It is usually mentioned with the update whether you can install it over a previous version without wiping its data or not.
6. Get back to the main recovery menu and use the option ‘wipe data/factory reset’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select “Yes – Delete all user data”.
7. From the main recovery menu, select ‘wipe cache partition’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Wipe Cache’.
8. From the main recovery menu, enter the ‘advanced’ menu. From this menu, select ‘Wipe Dalvik Cache’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Format/System’.
9. From the main recovery menu, enter the ‘Mounts and Storage’ menu. From this menu, select ‘Format/System’. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Wipe Dalvik Cache’.
10. Go back to the main recovery menu by pressing the back button and select the ‘Install zip from SD card’ option.
11. Select ‘choose zip from sdcard’ to get a list of the files and folders on your SD card. Scroll to the ROM’s file that you copied there in step 3, and select it. You will be prompted to confirm this action. Select ‘Yes – Install file_name.zip’ where file_name.zip is the name of the zip file that you are trying to install.
12. Wait patiently while the ROM is flashed to your phone via recovery.
13. Once the installation is complete, head back to the main recovery menu if you aren’t there, and select ‘reboot system now’. Your phone will now boot into the newly installed ROM.
from another topic.
buth when i reboot the system, the only thing that happens is a black screen with : =SoftBank on it.
how do i flash things to my htc?
when i restore my HD with the ClockworkMod thing, it starts back up, buth i can't call wit it (it doesn't ask for pin-code, and it's an old android version)
best regards

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so, every time you flash a ROM you need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
.

[Q] Getting CyanogenMod on LG Nitro - Issues

Hello,
I have just rooted my LG Nitro with the Bin4ry root kit, followed a video tutorial. Can't post links because this is my first post on XDA Developers, unfortunately.
Everything seemed to work as expected.
Then I installed ROM Manager, and have proceeded with install instructions for CyanogenMod specific to my phone (I will post this after the end of my message as a reference since again, no links are possible).
In these instructions I began at "Installing a Custom Recovery Image" because the rooting instructions do not work for my phone (it has ICS installed, hence the need for the Bin4ry root method). I'm following the steps to the letter, and got stuck at "Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery" - when I try doing this, SuperUser pops up and I grant permission to ROM Manager, and then it reboots - but instead of getting any option to install CyanogenMod, it hangs at the LG logo boot screen, with some command line-ish startup text along the top:
Secure booting Error!
Cause: boot certification verify
Enter the fastboot....
Enter the fastboot....
Long time no see!
-----
It will hang here until I hold down the button for 10 seconds or pull the battery. It will reboot normally afterwards though, thankfully. The phone is still working as-is so I'm not dead in the water, but my goal was to install CyanogenMod... is this still possible?
Thank you in advance.
-Owen
-----------------------------------------------------
Installing a Custom Recovery Image
If the LG Nitro HD already has a custom Recovery Image installed, you may skip this section.
Search for ROM Manager in the Market (free or paid) and install the app.
Open the ROM Manager application and select Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Click on LG Nitro HD and then give the app root permission if it prompts you.
If it hangs after that and freezes up, just allow the app to Force Close. Then open it back up and repeat steps 2 & 3.
Once the flash was successful, you should see a dialog box that says "Successfully flashed ClockworkMod recovery!".
Press OK.
The ClockworkMod Recovery should now be installed on the LG Nitro HD.
Flashing CyanogenMod
If the LG Nitro HD has been rooted, unlocked, etc. through steps other than the method described above or running a custom ROM other than CyanogenMod and you are having issues flashing or booting CyanogenMod, it is recommended the LG Nitro HD be returned to stock & start over with the full instructions provided above.
Method via Recovery
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the LG Nitro HD.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The LG Nitro HD should now boot into CyanogenMod.
Method via ROM Manager
Launch RomManager.
Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.
Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.
Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.
Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps option.
Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.
If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.
The LG Nitro HD will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.

LG has a locked boot loader, that is the reason for the security error. To get around that use the following unbricking guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645.
Since you already have root, just make sure you complete steps 1 - 3, then jump to step 9.

HTC M8 One stuck on startup screen.

I had problem with my HTC M8 One not being to update Android. It downloaded Android (~1.16GB) and after I tried to install it a Red Triangle with an exclamation mark appeared. After I restarted the phone the same "popup" appears telling me that there is an available System Update. I tried to update my phone several times but the same problems appeared.
Alright I thought, let's be one of the cool guy and flash my phone.
First I unlocked my bootloader following the instructions from htcdev.com. (It says "unlocked")
After that I followed the instructions on this site: wccftech.com/ how-to-update-htc-one-m8-to-android-6-custom-rom/ and now I can't get past the startup-screen. It also has a message in red saying "This build is for development purpose only ..." after following the step "fastboot reboot".
Right now nothing really seems to work and I'm not sure how to be able to proceed.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Tomas

First can you Boot into FASTBOOT mode ( to boot into fastboot mode turn off the phone and turn on holding volume down button)
Second if you boot into fastboot mode can you go into recovery?

FIrst let me explain where I'm at now and what I did. I downloaded a ROM that was, supposedly, made for my carrier (Telcel) and CID (HTC__332) so I downloaded that file, renamed it to 0P6BIMG and moved it to the root folder of the SD card. When I started up the bootloader it started to check for that file and then it said "Checking." for a while and then the text "Press <POWER> to reboot." appeared over the "Checking" text: i64.tinypic.com/ 317d1ep.jpg
Then after restart this appears: i65.tinypic.com/ 1194d5k.jpg
It restarts and the same screen but with the text "Entering Recovery..." appears: i63.tinypic.com/ 33vitn4.jpg
And after that it restarts once again to the screen without the "Entering recovery" and it goes on like this forever until there is no battery. During this step I can't access the bootloader or anything.

Now that my battery drained out and I'm starting it up to the bootloader and the "Recovery" it looks like this:
Bootloader: i67.tinypic.com/ 2lw4y15.jpg
After recovery: i68.tinypic.com/ inhnrs.jpg
It stays under the "Entering Recovery..." screen and nothing happens.

Also did "fastboot erase cache" (under FASTBOOT USB) and then started "RECOVERY" again with no success as you mentioned in this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=2265290

Actually I cannot view the pics from the link as iam not on my computer. I'll check the pics one I reach home
Tell me what your bootloder says on top (locked , unlocked or relocked)
Try deleting the ROM file from your root of SD card ( make sure you have the backup of that file on your PC ) and then check if you boot into fastboot/ recovery.

Your firmware is too low to run current Custom ROM and too low to use latest TWRP version. That's why it stuck.
Go to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Restore 1.12.600.20 non-rooted backup and install 4.32.600.2 stock recovery (because 1.12.600.20 stock recovery is not available)
then reboot and do OTA to 4.32.600.2 then to 6.17.600.3
I can't personally guide you because I'm away on holiday and be back only on 15/7

Thanks for your help!
Following your step I should install 4.32.600.2 but I get a "Failed" message. Also according to step 11 I should "11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img" but under that stock recovery (4.32.600.2) I can't find an image file, just a ZIP file.
I'm not really sure what to do but I managed to install TWRP and restore 1.12.600.20 but I'm stuuck now on the stock recovery.

I see that I have "S-ON" and I was wondering if that might cause any problems? (Reading about it on this page: www.addictivetips.com/mobile/ what-is-s-off-how-to-gain-it-on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/ )

Steps from the beginning:
1. Installed twrp 2.8.1.0 (for 1.xx.xxx.x & 2.xx.xxx.x TWRP backup, in this case 1.12.600.20)
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Jefecito\Downloads\twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
sending 'recovery' (16576 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.746s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.987s]
finished. total time: 2.733s
2. Downloaded TWRP backup 1.12.600.20
3. Downloaded Stock Recovery 4.32.600.2
4. Extracted 1.12.600.20_ckpv5.zip (It contains a variety of win and m5 files)
5. Backup "Boot". According to TWRP the Bacukup Folder is: /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/SH46..../2017-07-03--18-21-10 LRX22G release-keys/
6b. (No OS) Verifies that MPT is enabled.
7. I transferred the extracted folder "1.12.600.20" to the SD card. Note: I mounted the SD card as a USB Storage as it didn't allow to transfer big files and then I unmounted it.
8. I made a wipe and selected "Dalvik Cache, "Cache", "Data" and "System" and it completed without any error message.
9. I made a restore (TWRP -> Restore -> Selected the "1.12.600.20" folder) and it was it was 2076 MB big. "Boot", "Data" and "System" was ticked.
10. I rebooted the device and selected "Do not install". It rebooted do the startup screen and I could see the carrier image.
It stopped working there. I restarted the device and a windows saying "Android is updraging..." popped up. After that I had a working Android 4.x version.
11. I installed the "4.32.600.2_recovery" and tried to reinstall the OTA System Update but after the reboot it now stops at the startup screen again. When I turn it off using Power + Volume Up it automatically restars so I'm having problem accessing the Bootloader.
12. After some attempts I managed to access the Bootloader and installed twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img.
13. I wiped everything as in step 8.
14. I "Restored" backup 1.12.600.20.
15. Now it booted up okay with the old Android version, as expected, and it said "Android is upgrading...".
16. I made a stock recovery to 4.32.600.2_recovery.img. From my understanding OTA will not work without the stock recovery.
17. I restarted the phone and tried an OTA update (4.32.600.2) but after the restart it got stuck under the "Startup Screen". The "Update" icon (the green circle and the red one with an exclamation mark when an error occurrs) never appeared, just directly to the startup screen.
After that I restored it again and decided to give it a break.
Later I will try the RUU file from HTC.
