Hello.
I just got a used One V, which was rooted by the previous owner (with xda firmware). I want to clean everything off of it (in case he put some malware on it).
I did the 'factory reset' (on a normal boot). Does that remove anything that would have been installed on a root-boot? I booted to root, and tried to wipe, but it failed (couldn't mount /sdcard). I don't have a card yet, and I'm concerned that malware might be the same as on a computer -- tries to infect added storage.
So, I'm just wondering if this phone is now absolutely stock (well, stock-rooted), or if there's still something I need to do.
Here are the details (note that this is after the wipe):
CDMA
model: PK76300
Hardware version: 0002
Software version: Stock-Rooted 1.10.652.6 710RD

If you have a custom recovery, Just boot into it, and Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache. It will clear any Malware if there is any.

That's what I used (and it failed).
To get it to work, do I need to put in an SD card? Or, is there another way to wipe (if I really need to as root).
Might be because of that, Just buy one Sd card it is cheap, you get an 8gb one for around $6.

That's what I call booting as root (as opposed to a regular boot). Is there a better term?
I'd still like to know if the wipe that I did on a regular boot erases everything installed on a root-boot. I figure that it should, but I don't like to assume.
If you can't boot into recovery and wipe the stuff mentioned above there's something weird going on for sure. Try reflashing the recovery maybe? Try latest twrp.
I also don't know if there's such a thing as root or non root boot. Either you have root or you do not. How you boot up shouldn't make a difference. At least on phones I've had.

Ok, that sounds good! (That's the first response that relates to my primary concern.)
My term 'root-boot' arose because I thought that I should make a distinction between the power-up that happens from a few-second push on the power button (a regular boot) and the one you get from holding the power button and volume-down button for many seconds (a root-boot). And, after researching Android a bit more, I think that I was mistaken. It's just the unlocked bootloader or the custom recovery that I was talking about - right? So, is there a term for when you boot into the bootloader/recovery?
This is my first smartphone, so I'm learning stuff daily.

I have a Dinc2 on Froyo. I had got S-off using AlphaRevX. No problems here. I got hold of Gingerbread 2.3.3 (PG32IMG_RUU_Vivo_W_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.4_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_200325_signed)
Yesterday, when I flashed it it flashed Ok except that the Bootloader and TP were bypassed. Now I am unable to root it and if I reboot into recovery (the battery has to be pulled out and put back else it boots normally). If I select recovery it flashes one screen and then the second screen just hangs. The recovery screen is still Green (not orange). The phone is working fine in GB and the version is shown as 2.3.3. It is faster and the battery life also seems to be longer. I guess the Bootloader and TP were not installed since AlphaRevX had changed the version of HBOOT. I still have S-off.
Two questions:
1. Is there a way to fix this.
2. If I flash the Chinese ROM and go to 2.3.4 then will it fix the problem. Also, do all the files-ROM, Radio & GoogleApps (sequentially of course) have to be named PG32IMG?
You may have to find a new version of CWM, and flash via boot loader.
Although, I may be wrong. Hopefully you'll get more answers.

Thanks for saving my bacon. Picked up the red. Installed recovery. Back to Froyo. Should I risk the Chinese 2.3.4, or will the AlphaRevX HBOOT again baulk me?
Don't know man, bit if it does you can re download the red and should be able to start over.

I have finally managed. The full story is
1. Used the PG32IMG route for the Verizon version (PG32IMG_RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.4.zip) and the recovery (red). Of course had to disable fastboot etc..
2. Then installed the two superuser files. (su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip and superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip) through recovery.
3. Had to get Astro file manager to get the apk installer going from SD Card.
4. Titanium Pro not installing, even with busybox installed it was the same.
5. Moved the Devanagri fonts to the system/fonts director, so obviously have ROOT.
6. Installed clockworkmod. It restored 26 apps. Only a few were missing.
Installed the latest freebie version of Titanium.
7. Ookla speedtest was not working so reinstalled it from Titanium.
System seems to be working fine. Faster and lower power consumption.
Still unable to save/restore contacts to from Google.

Yea watch vzw come up with a 1003 bootlocker.
Or try some kind or OTA AppHolized disabling of the SD card.
My Incredible is in a bootloop. I have gone back to stock. The phone will work for a few minutes then just reboot non-stop. I did a factory reset and that did not help.
I can't keep the phone on long enough to do anything. The irony in all of this is that it started to do this 2 weeks after I became eligable for an upgrade...
Smells fishy...now I either wait for Incredible 4G or get the Rezound.
[email protected] Verizon...
Do you have a recovery on the phone still or did you get rid of it when returning to stock? I'm not sure I've heard of this before but if you post the status of your hboot that might be able to help someone help you.
and personally between the two I would go with the Incredible 4G but that's just me being loyal to HTC i guess.
Recovery is gone/does not work. I'll post the HBOOT version later, don't have the phone atm.

I know it sounds very round-about but you may need to flash CWM back on to the phone so you can flash unrevoked's s-on tool, I don't know for sure that this is what is causing the problem but you want s-on when you are in stock, especially if you plan on giving the phone to Verizon- if it has been messed with they won't want to handle it because they will say it is not their problem. (I have heard that Verizon has admitted to not checking very carefully, but it can't hurt to be careful yourself)
How can I flash CWM if I can't keep the phone on for more than a minute?
sounds like your kinda having the same problem i am having. the difference is my is s-on. i can get to hboot but when i try to go to recovery from there it comes up with a bunch of errors. and mine just bootloops at the droid eye.
that is a very valid point. It still can't hurt to try, I remember when I rooted my phone, it didn't take all that long to flash CWM.
You also might want to consider booting into safe mode to see if that keeps in on longer, I am copying and pasting these instructions from technipages.com because xda won't let me post links until they trust me more or something:
Sometimes services and apps you install on your HTC Droid Incredible can interfere with its functionality. If you’ve reached a point where the phone freezes at startup or malfunctions in a way that you can’t remove the problem, Safe Mode is the answer. Booting in Safe Mode will load only software and drivers from factory defaults. This should allow you access to remove whatever ails your smartphone.
1. Turn the device off. If the power button doesn’t do the trick, remove and replace the battery.
2. Power the device on.
3. When the logo appears, press and hold the Menu button.
4. Continue holding the Menu button until you see the home screen.
The words Safe Mode should appear in the lower left corner if you performed the steps correctly.

Does the phone shut off when your in hboot too? You need to do as sugested and flash cwm thru hboot, and then see if you can access recovery long enough to wipe everything in mounts and storrage except sd and emmc, then flash superuser, and a rom.

A friend rooted it over a year ago.
Everything worked fine, so we flashed a ROM. (don't remember which one)
That worked fine, then few days later things on the phone started to fail. Slowly more and more things failed. Then I was forced to reboot the phone.
When I rebooted It stuck on boot screen. now I get those logs in recovered that I originally posted.
To say the worse, it sounds like a corrupted file system acutally . You can get to HBOOT screen right? (Vol + Power On)

Erm.. I'm not too sure, it could be just maybe a small error fixable by 'replacing', but then again it could be a physical damage (bad sectors, but those are usually very very rare).
If your bootloader does function fine, it could be the former (though not being able to mount in recovery sounds like a bad sector). It is possible that you can load a rom through ur sd card and restore it through the bootloader. (I'm still learning that part). Be very very very careful! You can actually make your phone not work! Do a lot of research, and don't rush! Hopefully someone with much more experience can help from here on.
I'll explain here: if your phone does not boot, usually it could mean that some files cannot be read or are missing, so the phone will not boot android. The fact that the recovery states that it cannot mount the filesystem could mean that there is a possibility that your memory filesystem may be corrupted. But, since it can boot the bootloader without problems, there is a high possibility that the problem lies in the recovery files being problematic themselves. In that case, you can load a original rom (BE VERY CAREFUL BEFORE YOU DO SO, I ASKED HERE, so this could be a jumping board for you.). A mention, u must be careful, loading a full ROM includes loading the bootloader as well, so it may cause your phone to not even load the bootloader.
I really think someone with better experience should help from here on, i dont want to brick your phone :/

Okay, I tried what you said but no success. My ClockworkMod seems to not be mounting. Because of the Errors I posted previously in my first post. So this way I can't flash anything from recovery because it will just stay on that screen with the top hat and the orange circle with the arrow. Nothing happens. If I tap the power button, it just goes back to the menu.
Should I be updating clockwork somehow?
Is there another way to flash?
Could there be a problem with my SD's? (i've tried on 2 different ones)
Do you have any ideas?
This is an educated guess, but you might want to try flashing the stock firmware back onto the phone and trying again, and ensure the MD5s match. You could even follow the instructions in the wiki to give CyanogenMod ROM a try; that's what I'm using now and is the more widely developed and recognizable ROM that I know of.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/TMobile_G2:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
Firstly, don't select stuff with power button in clockwork, use the camera or trackpad.
Secondly, those errors may indicate a bad emmc, which is a hardware defect, and cannot be fixed. More info here
You can either go for a warranty replacement, or you can boot cm7.1 from your sdcard, using Catherall's instructions

Sure, I can try that. Is there a step by step....don't really know what im doing.
Almost 100% you have a bad emmc, there is no fix for this, nipqer sent you a guide to run an os off your sdcard and this may be your only 'fix'
You can try and flash a new recovery via fastboot and a rom as well. But my best guess is your sol, try to warranty it if possible, run os off sd, or sell it for parts and get a new one

Dude This happened to me too first if you downgraded to froyo and if you kept a nandroid backup of it restore to the froyo nandroid backup BE SURE THE NANDROID BAKUP OF THE FROYO VERSION IS A ROOTED ONE OR ELSE YOU'LL BRICK YOUR PHONE OR SCREW UP THE ROOT!! then after that flash another ROM using fastboot in bootloader mode
okay heres what to do
1.Open A CMD window in windows
2.Navigate to the folder where you have fastboot for example cd...
cd...
cd /
C:\Android SDK\Platform Tools
then you should also have ADB at the same folder together with Fastboot
then plug your phone while it fastboot mode in Bootloader
it should say "FASTBOOT USB"
3.Then verify that your computer recognizes your Phone by typing "fastboot devices" without (" ")
4.put the ROM.zip on the same folder where you have Fastboot and ADB
5. type in fastboot clear cache (I don't know the exact command but you need to clear cache)
6. AFTER CLEARING CACHE TYPE IN "fastboot flash zip ROM.zip (REPLACE "ROM" with the right ROM name it ahould be like ICS.zip or whatever your gonna flash
7. just let it do its job
8.Celebrate if it worked =))

If you used adb then you know more than I do.
The only thing I can think of is if you are full wiping.
Booting into recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik
Format all partitions except sd card.
I suggested to get 4ext touch becauee you can use the screen to navigate in the recovery section instead of the volume buttons to format and flash.
If you are having hardware issues, could it be a hardware problem? It happebed after you got nervous which leads to believe it may be software related. But if you flashed a stock rom using adb, did that fully wiped your phone? I don't know.
If it didn't, try a full wipe.
Read this only for informational purposes. Don't try anything until you are sure it's not software related.

It is all software related, well i tried everything but the same...it is not a harware problem. I think the rom that had an error when i was flashing it had a bad impact on my media driver. I don't know how to fix this crap now....please keep posting and keep in touch...and do ask your friends to fix this issue if you could please.
Thanks once again

Could you post what you did when it went bad and what you have done so far step by step? Just want to make sure what has been done.and as concise as possible please. If you don't mention something I/we will assume you didn't do it and we will tell you to do it again.

when i was flashing a new ROM through CWM then an error appeared stating installation aborted...I got panic and when this error appeared....i just flashed the other ROM...but i didn't wipe the data of the Error making ROM...I think that is why this problem happened...but new ROM was flashed successfully and when i tried to work volume keys in the ROM and in CWM they were not working, Camera and Earphone slot wasn't working as well....After that i tried 4EXT Recovery to wipe everything and flashed the ROM once again but same problem for every ROM..Even i Recently flashed an RUU Stock HTC ROM VIA ADB but same....Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't help your problem, but if everything is really down and you're back on stock ROM, without root, go and complain to HTC and whatever your service provider is. Pretend like you don't know what happened. If you have a good provider, or if your phone warranty hasn't expired yet, then they should fix it for you.

As i have told you.....I dowloaded one ROM from XDA-Developers website...I wanted to flash it...I flashed it with CLOCKWORKMOD after going into recovery....while flashing i got an error that installation aborted...i didn't reboot my phone as i knew that this ROM will not work as it gave an error..I went to the folder where i kept other ROMS and flashed one of them but i didn't wipe out the data, Cache etc of this ERROR ROM this time and flashed other one..After that this problem happened...
I used 4EXT Recovery after that to wipe data again and flash another ROM...I flashed many ROMS after that but same....camera, Volume keys and earphone slot is not working....
Someone told me to flash an RUU that will overwrite all the previous data by using ADB....i did it as well...Everything went fine again....ROM was flashed....but F**king problem remains the same....

flash it used fastboot (adb tools)
1.Turn off your phone
2. Hold the volume down button + power until you boot to a white screen.
3. Use the volume rocker to select FASTBOOT then press the power button to select it.
4. Connect your phone.
5. Open up a windows command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools or platform tools folder. tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\tools) or platform-tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) (ore where you have the adb)
6. Type FASTBOOT DEVICES to make sure your computer "sees" your phone and is ready to flash the recovery. You should get a serial number and then the word fastboot as the output.
7. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. Give it a minute to do it's thing. You should get a message that says writing recovery and success.
(you must have the recovery.img on the same place as fastboot)
8. Unplug your phone and use the volume rocker to select BOOTLOADER and then again to select RECOVERY and you should be booted into the 4ext recovery

I downloaded that and flashed it via 4EXT recovery...It wiped all the stuff.....after that now i flashed the rom....but the same problem......I don't know what is going on...
HTC workshop are saying that they will have to change the motherboard, camera, volume keys and all that...I dont think they know this problem...
Does it cause any problem if i download any ROM not for DHD and try to flash it?...This is why problem happened i guess...the ROM i flashed was not for DHD....
If you could please provide me your yahoo or hotmail ID..so that i could chat with you to clarify issues...Please give me a reasonable time if you could come online....
I would really be grateful to you...
Please reply reply to my questions above....i really am in a FIX....please help brother....
Replacement Battery, Or broken phone?
Looking to replace this naff ass broken "replacement HTC Desire HD" battery. Any suggestions? Are these High Capacity Gold battierys any use?
This battery if I turn the phone on it then powers off as dead. Unless I have it connected to a charger first. Then I can see the battery is actually got a charge in it.
Is this the battery of perhaps an issue with the phone?
I am in need of some serious help. My AT&T M8 won't boot past the HTC logo screen and won't allow me to go into recovery or the hboot screen. I believe I may have wiped the OS on it; this is the only thing I can think of that makes sense. Furthermore, when I try to power down the device by long pressing the power button, it doesn't respond at all. It just stays on the logo screen. It was so bad that I just left it plugged in overnight and I don't have a clue as to how long it took to power off because I fell asleep before it did. If there's a video tutorial out there that someone has or simply a link that can show me how to install something via backdoor on this device, that would be great!

Recount as best you can, all the steps that got the phone to this point.
What were you trying to do when this happened?
Also, need much more info in order to help:
1) bootloader unlocked?
2) custom or stock recovery
3) custom ROM?
4) what hboot number?
5) s-on or s-off
6) did you make a nandroid with custom recovery?

Hold power and vol up for several seconds to force a reboot. The moment the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons, and just hold vol down. Don't let go until the hboot screen appears.
Thanks already. I didn't realize I had to hold down the volume down button after it goes dark. It got me into twrp. I believe I should be good from here after I download a new rom to sideload. But to give you a run down, I was prepping the phone to sell it by wiping the data and installing the rom the guy said he wanted on it. When I was going thru the normal procedure to install the rom (wipe, flash, etc) that's when the phone started sticking on the logo screen. My assumption was that I downloaded a bad rom, so since then I've been trying to get back into twrp so I can load a new rom and finally was able to after you told me this. I'll report back if a new rom actually didn't help the situation. I only thought I wiped the OS because something similar happened with my Note when I was tinkering and that was the result.

So, it seems I'm still having the problem, even while trying to install cyanogen. Here are the answers to those questions...
1) bootloader unlocked?... YES
2) custom or stock recovery... TWRP
3) custom ROM?... It was a custom AOSP Rom
4) what hboot number?... 3.16.0.0000
5) s-on or s-off... S-OFF
6) did you make a nandroid with custom recovery?... It was erased
Any help you can give from this point would be awesome. Thanks again!

Failure to flash ROMs can often be solved with fastboot erase cache, then install TWRP by fastboot again. Update TWRP version, if you are using an outdated one.
Also, if you try to flash any ROMs based on Sense software beyond version 1.x (huge majority of them are past 1.x at this point) you will likely experience extremely long boot times (10 minutes or more) and broken WiFi due to outdated firmware. But CM should be okay.

It was erased, or you wiped it?
Okay. Do you suggest trying an older sense rom to see if it works? The last time touched the phone was when I picked up my Note 4, so I will look for something that predates that.
As for the nandroid being erased, I can only assume it was my actions that caused it to be deleted, but I don't recall intentionally doing it.

Sure, it couldn't hurt. With your current firmware, you will need a ROM based on 1.x software. There aren't a heck of a lot of those left. But there are a few. GoldenEye is one I can personally vouch for, since I was running it for a while back in the day:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705640
But I would definitely recommend just trying fastboot erase cache and re-install TWRP first. I've lost count how many times suggesting this simple fix has helped other users here on XDA, when ROMs fail to flash.

Fair enough. Just FYI, don't do a factory reset in bootloader (in the OS settings or recovery is OK). On modded phones this may cause the internal storage to become corrupted. Nandroids have sometimes been lost this way. This may or may not be what happened to you. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Also, there has been the occasional occurrence of internal storage being corrupted, possibly by TWRP. It may not even have been something you caused.
