[HOWTO] If you flashed the original RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.* and got the new hboot

You will have noticed you can't 'fastboot boot' the recovery image again for rooting or using the new recovery image.
However:
You can use flashrec to flash the patched recovery, from where you can do all the usual stuff (and even put the old hboot back on if you want!)
Notice:
flashrec is using an exploit that isn't patched yet in the current kernel used by HTC, however if/when HTC patches this, flashrec will stop working.
So for now it's ok but a next version might have patched this, so keep this in mind !
Thanks for the original headsup by Magnus and Modaco, adapted from here
Quick Howto:
1. On your phone, goto Settings, Applications, and make sure Unknown source is checked ON.
2. On your phone, goto Settings, SD card and phone storage, and click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card (it should automatically remount after this).
4. Plug the phone into the compuer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
flashrec-20090815.apk
Cyanogen’s / Modaco Hero Recovery Image
Update: updated flashrec here
6. Extract the cm-hero-recovery.img out of the MoDaCoPatchedRecovery-1.0.zip and put it somewhere on your computer.
7. Save both the cm-hero-recovery.img and the flashrec-20090815.apk to your computer, then copy them both to your SD card
(do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them in the root of the SD card itself).
8. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
9. Goto the Market and download Linda File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
10. Open the file manager and goto SDCard and then find the flashrec-20090815.apk file and click on it.
If asked, tell it to use Package Installer to open it. It should automatically install the apk.
11. Open the FlashRec program and click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish.
12. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img
Then click on the Flash Custom Recovery Image button and wait for it to finish.
13. Turn off the phone and turn it on into Recovery mode by holding down Home and Power to turn it on
(keep holding until the recovery screen comes up has a bunch of text on a black background).
As long as that screen comes up, you have done it correctly and can now go and load other ROM/hboot/whatever.

Excellent, worked perfectly! Thanks!

I flashed the new official update from HTC, but i do got a nandroid from before when my phone was rooted, do you know if restoring that will make any changes to the hboot? And will i get root again? Or is this method that you posted over, the only way so far?

Root
I did all this with the orginal 2.73 update and booted in to the recovery mode (worked fine..) but i still dont hav root
I tried the other method from theunlockr.com to but still no root..

I followed this excellent tutorial, then I just ran the root tutorial again. Worked flawlessly.

Worked fine - thx m8

Is it possible to make this without a sd card?
Because my phone doesn't detect my sd card. Now i have the problem that i can't do anything on my phone because i can't get into recovery mode...
Anyone who knowes a solution???
Thanks in advance.

works perfectly, many thanks !

I get this "downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)" when i type "fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img" any one know what is wrong ?

you have uploaded the recovery image by that apk, be sure to boot your phone holding POWER+HOME NOT power+back, then you can continue to root your phone, hope i could help you

Ok, But what to do when i boot up with power+home ?

then you have to root your phone again like it is described in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257045&postcount=38
i would recommend you to make a backup with nandroid (just select it and push the track ball) and then continiue with

do you have a branded phone?

When I followed the instructions, everything worked, until I have to restart with Home button pressed.
I see the HERO word on my screen, but nothing else happens.
Has someone some suggestions?
I followed the instructions already twice.
-------------------------------------------------------------
SOLVED:
In the first page there is a link to flashrec-20090815.apk. That did not work for me.
I used http://code.google.com/p/flashrec/ to download the file.
Thank you for your interest in reading my post.

HTC One X wrong rooted or flashed, how to fix?

Hello all,
At first I'm sorry to administrators If i put this thread in a wrong section. If I did, please remve it to the right section. Thanks
At first I have to let you guys, that I made a mistake, and that is, that i rooted my phone before i carefully read threads in this forum and after that, I try to reflashed it with modifide flash. Now My HTC One x phone start only till the modified logo of "CyanogenMod", picture attached ( 0 and 1 ).
I need to unlock boot ower the htc support page once again. After that I try to reload recovery ( there's 5 recovery made in sd card ) but after reboot, no changes are made, phone still hangs at this logo.
When turn on the phone in bootloader mode, recovery can not find files ( update.zip ), but I found 2 files that I both tryed to upload with hope that I will fix this mess.
- cm-10-20121014-nightly-endeavoru.zip ( it is in the root of sd card )
- gapps-jb-20120726-signed (1).zip ( it si in the \fastboot directory of the sd card )
Info of the bootloader menu is show on the picture 2.
ClockworkMod Recovery ver is v 5.8.4.0
When I turn ON the phone in normal mode, as i already mentioned, it hangs at modified logo and computer found it, it also install sdcard as show picture 3. But here becomes a problem and that is, when I try to open this sdcard, I get message "insert SD card", show picture 4, I can not open it and also copied anything on it.
Result is, I can not put any file on sd card, so I can not flash the phone.
I try to flash phone with UU flash file :
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe
Flashing starts normalyy till the part, that phone should restart in bootloader mode, and even If i put phone in bootlodare manually, flashing wont continue.
I read many threads and now I'm confused, becouse almost every solution need an sdcard to be WRITABLE, but my is not even accessible.
Can someone help mi with manuals step by step, how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
BR,
Dejan

This should have been posted in the Q&A section. So to understand, you have unlocked your phone and installed CWM Recovery and then tried to flash the CM10 rom? Did you flash the rom and it is now stuck on boot logo? Did you flash the boot.img file from the rom via fastboot? Did you enter command fastboot erase cache after flashing the boot.img file?

Tried mounting the phone in ClockworkMod Recovery ver is v 5.8.4.0 @ mounts mount usb?
gr

ClydeB1,
I flashed the rom and now is stucked, yes. I flashed it with UU rom I guess, becouse I dont have other rom.
Strikert,
When I gou in recovery and then mount USB storage, only Unmount options is availabe. Is it possible to mount it over the cmd?
BR,
Dejan

ClydeB1,
forgot to tell you, I also did erase cashe from recovery menu, not from cmd. How to run from cmd?
BR

im also experiencing the same problem as you. was following the steps from here: http://pocketnow.com/2012/07/26/jelly-bean-on-the-htc-one-x-with-cyanogenmod-10-video
and ended up getting stuck at #7/8. someone plz help :/

Problem fixed
Just to inform you, i fixed the problem.
Here is the solution:
1. Relock bootloader ( fastboot oem lock )
2. Reboot bootloader ( fastboot oem rebootRUU )
3. Start flashing with exe file ( in my case "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.17.401.2_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_274900_signed.exe"
4. When falshing is finished, Restart the phone
5. Wait till phone turns ON
6. Reboot the phone in bootloader mode
7. Unlock bootloader
BR,
Dejan

Your initial problem was that you didn't flash the boot.img for the rom in fastboot. When flashing any rom on HOX you must always extract the boot.img from the rom.zip, flash it in fastboot mode by running "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then "fastboot erase cache", then boot into recovery and wipe and flash the rom.zip.

stuck after wiping

i used ext4 recovery to go to screen to flash a rom and it freeezed after I wiped partition except sd card ( i'm presuming my sd card is still ok)
so i tried to connect my phone to adb on my computer but was unable to flash the rom via fastboot. Is it possible to do so or what am i supposed to do ? am i supposed to place the ROM zip file in the android platform tools folder or push it to my SD card ( I am not too sure what command to input too ) ?

boot in recovery again and reflash the rom. ADB only works with booted phones and custom roms are not possible to be flashed from fastboot anyway but RUU's are.

Sorry I forgot to add that my volume is spoilt so that's why I was trying to use the adb. Is there anyway I can try to flash anything or I have to try the ruu (where can I get it and place it in and the command to type too) ?thanks

i used a card reader and checked my SD card and there's a clockworkmod folder with the files .android_secure.vfat (357,525 KB RAR) ,cache.ext4 ( 5KB RAR) , data.ext4 ( 489,783 RAR) , system.ext4 ( 424,852 KB RAR) , boot.img ( 4,096 KB IMG file) , fsinfo (1 KB file), nandroid.md5 (1 KB MD5 file) , recovery.img ( 8,701KB IMG file ) . anything i can do with them too ? I pulled my batt out as I was afraid it might run down quickly with the boot menu on all day too - not sure if I can get back to it later

Connect your phone to your computer, make sure ADB and the drivers are installed, and type it from the computer command line. There are several ADB guides online; Ace Think Tank thread in General forums has one linked.

yup, comp suddenly said found new hardware and asked for drivers , so i assumed it meant it wanted the android 1.0 and got the android-usb-driver and included in the path folder for it to search to install.
after I got to the boot menu, i keyed adb reboot recovery but it says no device found now - have I done anything wrong ?

You need to install drivers with the device unplugged. Install them, then plug the phone and let the PC finish the process. Once it says that the device is ready to be used, you go ahead.
If you are going to install them again, uninstall what it is already in your pc from control panel and then do the above. :good:

oh,,,, I thought it suddenly needed something when plugged and prompted to install some drivers so I did ....
erm, I'm not sure where the driver is now - the only possible options i have under my control panel is 'Add hardware' or 'add/remove program' , I suppose ? windows xp

[Q] please help a noob, problem note 2!

Hi everyone,
I'm writing you hopping for a clue and some good pointed advices.
My story:
note 2 N7100 rooted started to block. I manage to backup more than 3k sms and around 8 gb of data.
and it works just fine, but I still had a itchy to change the ROM.
I started to read, it was my first time flashing an android, in the past I used to flash with success many time my wm6.5 HTC.
Ok, i'm ready.
i founded some beautiful roms and I was excited to see them on my note.
what did I done?
first I've copy the new rom on sd card.
I follow all the steps for CWM.
the problem was that I followed all the steps till instal. I didn't seen On my sd card the rom that i've copied.
I was not 5 minutes cleaver to pull out the sd card, but I've stopped the phone.
Yes, everything was erased.
The only thing I could get was the starting logo with note 2 ( white letter on black background) nothing more.
I've tried with odin1.85, odin3. every time same result...fail.
I can go in Odin Mode and I can get this message :firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies& try again.
I've tried in Kies but no luck
As far as I can understand my phone is empty..
Question is what should I do?
Please don't tell me I can throw it away!!!
PLEASE HELP!
Please if you will respond on this thread make it like for a noob!
Thank you in advance

what Rom u was installing ?
i think u should use Odin 3.07
http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip
find latest stock Rom for ur N2 ( N7100 or N7105 ) here : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
download it and unzip it then open odin and put it in PDA and wait a bit it will check MD5 then it will work then put ur note in download mode ( home + vol down + power ) and connect ur note2 ( odin should give u blue color on ID com )
and make sure Kies is totally closed then hit start and wait

thank you for your feedback.
I've downloaded the latest version for N7100 from the site you mentioned.
the truth is I've used Odin 3.04 and have no luck.
I've followed every step you mentioned.
I'll try with Odin 3.07.
I can't go to recovery I don't have this option or I don't know how to access it.
When I press those 3 buttons the phone goes into download mode.
How can I access recovery?
Thank you Yahyoh

to go to recovery use home + vol up + power

I've done that and I get the death message ( i've read about this death message, I want to hope that is just an over reacting saying)
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in Kies& try again"
in my opinion, if I'm allowed to have one, I think I deleted everything on my phone. even the bootloader and so on.
Is just empty
which are the steps to follow in order to have a working phone?
thanks Yahyoh for your attitude and patience.

Remove battery for 5min
Press Vol down +home+power
It should reboot to download mode
Instead of download mode still you getting msg 'encountered error...' consider that screen as download mode and flash rom with odin.
Version of odin doesn't matter.

OK, I needed to run it as Administrator to get it working.
Now I'm at Firmware Update screen, what next? How should I update it?
LG PC Suite didn't worked for me, as I was rooted, tho I turned off root with SuperSU and I also had enable Debugging mode.

How to boot up if it automatically goes (not connected to PC) to Firmware Update mode?
EDIT1: Problem with KDZ is that it doesn't have firmware for my LG G3 type, EU D855 32GB, only 16GB, and then I tried going TOT route, but when I've got to the point where I need to set my LG G3 into Download Mode with "Power up + connect to PC" then I got stuck with this first problem (firstboot)...
EDIT2: Maybe I should go with TOT route then, as it seems that I didn't had installed drivers properly. Do you think if there's a way to not wipe internal storage somehow?
And forgot to ask, is there an update for LG G3 D855 for Android 6.0? Or still none?

6 is still to come. We have plenty of links for 32gb, look up lgfirmware or check by entering your imei
You have to be in firmware upgrade mode to flash kdz/tot

i rooted my phone and erased apps now i cant access google services and most app force close. im trying to flash back to stock firmware and i cant access download mode. ive been trying to fix this for the passed 2 months now and ready to smash the stupid thing lol.

No problem.
Root your device and flash the partition in android directly.

This happened to me today, I installed a bad rom.
I simply help down power and back button. Then did factory reset.

I can provide you the one for 858hk, why did you even try the one for d855 ?
But anyway if it´s stuck at a command then no use of it, you would have to open it.
Try manually entering: fastboot erase boot
