Replace framework-res.apk > Bootloop. Help!

Hi all!
I using root explorer to replace framework-res.apk
But now, my HTC Desire Z have a bootloop. I try to factory reset, wipe cache date, using update.zip but not not effective.
When I up rom in recovery (3e), the system show: E:signature verification failed
Help me fix the bootloop. Thanks!

well first off I hope you made a nandroid backup of your ROM before you did this. If so, just pull the battery, boot straight into recovery, and restore that nandroid backup.
Where did you get this framework-res.apk? did you edit it yourself? if so, what did you change? If you or someone else has changed anything decently major, the .apk needs to be re-signed. Looks like it wasn't.

Everybody help me!
I can't solve this problem

Where did the framework-res.apk you are using to replace the stock on come from?
Or is the issue now just trying to get your phone booting again?

Like I said in my first post that you didn't respond to, did you make a nandroid backup? If you didn't, you should at least have the stock framework-res.apk set aside to go back to? If you don't, and you can boot directly into recovery, then you're going to have to re-flash a fresh ROM in order to break the issues you caused with your current problem.
So if your phone is still bootlooping and you don't have a backup to go to, then follow the normal steps to flash a new ROM from recovery (this will probably be your only option if you don't have a backup):
1) download your ROM of choice
2) enter recovery, mount as USB storage
3) place ROM.zip on root of your SD card
4) install zip from SDcard > select ROM.zip
5) reboot
you'll probably lose your data, unless you flash the exact same ROM as you had before, there may be a chance that it won't.
Here's a lesson to be learned! Backup before messing with major things, and save the old framework-res.apk. And don't just willy-nilly flash random Uot Kitchen framework-res.apk's without precautions. It looks like you just got a framework-res.apk that wasn't signed properly and it messed your ROM up.

How can you not have cwm, there isn't another custom recovery for the DZ that I'm aware of.
Hang on, do you still have the stock recovery? OK so I'm going to assume you are actually rooted. Do you nave the eng hboot installed?

You can't, you will need to install cwm.
Download rom manager, then select install clockworkmod recovery. Then boot your phone in to recovery and preform a wipe then flash custom rom.
Do you have s-off?

Ohh yeah, I forgot that. OK you will need to install recovery using fastboot. But to do that you will need to install the eng hboot. To do that please follow the instructions here http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html. But when you get to point 10 you will need to pull your battery out. And delete the PC10IMG.zip of your sd card.
Then reboot back in to bootloader and if all has gone well we will know have the DZ eng hboot installed.
The top line should now say vision eng s-off
You will then need to execute fastboot commands to install cwm. If you do not have fastboot installed download fastboot.exe from here http://developer.htc.com/adp.html and place in your platform-tools folder. You will is need the cwm recovery.img which you can get from here http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-vision.img and rename to recovery.img and place in your platform-tools folder
Open a cmd window and point it towards your platform-tools folder. Then we want to check fastboot is working, so make sure your phone is in bootloader and type fastboot devices and it should bring up your device serial number. Assuming that works type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
All being well the recovery will flash then you will be able to boot in to recovery and flash a rom.
If you have any problems or are unsure about anything head over to the #G2ROOT irc http://webchat.freenode.net/

Some assistance is requested

Hello there,
I'm slightly new to the forums, at least posting to them so if I'm in the wrong section or if I'm just not suppose to ask these questions... well... lend some expert advice and help me out!
I'm by no means an expert on rooting and flashing, pretty much every thing i have learned has been on my Optimus V, Nexus 7, and My latest device, HTC One V and i learned it all on these forums!
So my problem is... My HTC One V i have unlocked it and rooted it with a tool kit i found on here called "Hasoon2000's HTC One V All-In-One Kit" and all was well in the world. But now that i have rooted it I've grown bored with the device... after less than 24 hours of running stock rooted. And i've attempted to flash MIUI.us on my device as found on the developers website Now I've flashed many custom roms on my other devices, currently running Paranoid Android Beta 3 on my Nexus and Harmonia 2 (I believe) on my OV. But this phone has become quite the hassle. I'm running TWRP CDMA recovery and i Factory reset, wipe data, cache, dalvic (spelled correctly?) and it boots up to the MIUI boot logo then it goes to the usual Google start screen where you select language and set up your device... but... at that point it fails to do anything then boot loops back out and restarts the phone, and repeats... sometimes it won't even get out of the boot loop and it will just restart the phone... so i have used the RUU and reset the phone multiple times after this has occurred... If anyone could be of assistance or point me towards the correct forum it would be much appreciated!
I'm not totally sure what else could help anyone out there but it says S-OFF and i am unlocked and i have tried multiple roms and none of them have worked yet at all, the AOSP rom actually got to the home screen then restarted... this is getting quite frustrating and slightly irritating so if anyone could lend a helping hand I'd be much appreciative!

If you have a brand new phone it may have the ota already applied, which means none of the custom kernels will work, which means no JB roms.

Okay but when i do the RUU or even initially it always gives me the option to do system update OTA once i turn it on the first time... and on all the different ROM threads it says you have to extract the "boot.img" and flash in fastbot... so i extract the rom onto the SD card then once i flash the rom I've tried rebooting to bootloader and on my computer with SDK tools running command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and that never works, i've tried flashing the jellyboot5 kernel i've tried many many options and bricked my phone about 20 times in the first 24 hours of owning my device... Black Friday purchased!
Sorry i'm still getting used to these devices... this is my first HTC and it's been... very much a learning experience but i really wanna try out some new roms on better phones than the OV

the last OTA broke the Radio (-> v.0928) firmware
Basically you need to flash the pre-OTA RUU (radio version: 1.00.00.521_2) first...
Steps (on windoze):
1) Download the correct RUU for your device (available at tinyurl.com/dxrybx9)
2) Run the .exe, wait for it to open the first wizard screen.
3) Open a file explorer in c:\users\yourname\AppData\Local\Temp\New_Directory _With_Some_Hexadecimal_name
4) Locate `rom.zip`, copy to the root directory of your sd card, and rename it to PK76IMG.zip
5) Reboot to bootloader, connect usb, and `fastboot oem lock` in cmd shell, at which point it'll reboot
6) Get back to HBOOT, wait for it to notice PK76IMG, confirm, make a pot of coffee, check back in 5-10 minutes.
7) After reboot, phone should now show a 1.00.00.521_2 radio... re-unlock the bootloader in fastboot, re-flash TWRP or whatever, and you should be good to go.

Okay so I just wanna make sure i understand all this... I'm basically doing the same thing that the RUU does? What does the RUU do outside of this? and i tried what you said and it never notices it and now when i boot up my phone it has no service and doesn't connect to the network....

Oh and when i type the fastboot oem lock command it gives me this
Code:
C:\Fastboot>fastboot oem lock
... INFOLock successfully...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 0.271s
(Sorry for the awful format, I'm not used to actually taking part in a forum!) but regardless of the FAILED status it still says relocked... I'm not sure if that's a problem or not

You can ignore the error msg, I saw the same thing and the relock worked correctly. The RUU didn't flash the radio correctly when I ran the application, and I couldn't `fastboot flash radio` directly because of S-ON (or install the zip through TWRP), but when I copied the rom zip to PKIMG76 and installed it in hboot, I was able to flash the radio back to 0521_2, at which point I could run sick kernel and AOKP Jellybean without the bootloop (I originally documented it on this thread: tinyurl.com/cf2aq5n)

Okay so if i put that pk76img.zip into my fastboot folder on my PC then run "fastboot flash pk76img.zip' will it do the same thing? most of my devices when i rooted them and flashed custom images It's never been this difficult and i've never had to actually use CMD which i'm enjoying learning these commands and stuff but it's starting to get on my nerves that i can't get it to work when i boot by phone up into Boot loader here's what is says
Code:
***UNLOCKED***

HBOOT-1.53.0000
RADIO-1.00.00.0521_2

I'm not sure if any of that will help at all.. but my Network is fine now but i really don't know what to do next... it says S-ON which i believe might be the problem but i AM rooted..

You wouldn't need to `fastboot flash...`; just copy the file to the root directory of your SD card, make sure it's named "PK76IMG.zip" (possibly case sensitive), and when you enter HBOOT it should say "searching for PK76IMG... blah blah" until it finds the file, at which point you'll see a blue progress bar, and it'll eventually ask you to confirm installation after it verifies the file(s).
All that said, it looks like you already have the correct version of RADIO, so I'm not sure this will help, but it's probably worth a try, unless you're flashing the wrong kernel for MIUI...

Well I'm not really sure on the rules of forums... about posting links to other things like that... but i think my problem is a kernel issue... I have the JellyBoot5.zip... that everyone was talking about and even someone on that other forum you posted said something about it... but... maybe i'm just doing that wrong... do i go into TWRP recovery... flash the Jellyboot5.zip then reboot to bootloader, and on CMD run "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (which i extract the boot.img from the jellyboot5.zip...) is that correct? I'm really trying to NOT be illiterate on these things but i'm at a total loss... i may just stick with root and stock if i can't figure this out soon.

I would try the v2.0.0 kernel (tinyurl.com/d8xknzb) ... I actually had a (different) bootloop problem after installing the jellyboot5.zip in TWRP, so maybe this kernel will do the trick.

Okay so i wanna make sure i'm doing this right... I put that zip i just downloaded into my sd card on the root of the drive... then go into recovery... and flash it? do i wipe anything? anything at all? do i need to flash the boot.img? if i DON'T flash a custom rom right now also... will that mess up my phone since stock is running ICS?

It's a JB kernel so it probably won't work with an ICS rom, but I can't say I've tried it. And yeah, you need to flash the boot.img, and also install the zip in recovery, but you shouldn't need to wipe anything if you're just changing kernels (although there isn't much point unless you're installing a JB rom at the same time...)

Well as soon as i get back to my house I'm going to try this out and try reflashing the MIUI rom which is JB i believe and hope it works! if not... I'll be using that RUU tool again... I think i've been on that more than i have my new phone!

Why did no one report this thread? Obviously I'll see it eventually, but come on guys/gals!
Moved to Q&A.

[Q] HELP! Cant flash Roms

Help my hox is lock on sentinel 4.75 and I cant flash any other rom onto it.
Every time I try to load another rom it crashed at the htc boot screen and never load (I have left it for up to 20 mins)
When this happens the only thing I can do is reload a nandroid of sentinel 4.75 and flash the boot image to return to my previous rom.
I have tried multiple roms including probam, sentinel 5.0, xenonhd and icj with no luck on any of them.
I am on Hboot 1.31 and have installed philz recovery.
Recently I found that my phone had no root access and had to reflash the rom - again the only one that worked was sentinel 4.75
Is there anything I can do to fix my phone to allow me to load another rom. Im finding different issues every time I reload sentinel and would really love to load something else.

Update the hboot

I am guessing that you are forgetting to flash the boot image included in the rom you desire to install.
For example you want to install sentinel v5.00.
update: forgot to mention that you need to update your hboot to run newer roms. you can find proper
hboot update files for your cid in xda forum. Credits to Mr Hofs for the reminder.
Follow these steps.
Technical terms:
adb or fastboot folder: a folder where you have fastboot.exe and adb.exe
HOX: HTC One X
preparation:
a. go to your fastboot or adb folder and rename any 'boot.img' to anything else, like sentinel475.img
b. download the zip file of the rom you want to install
c. copy this zip file into your HOX
d. open the zip file and copy the 'boot.img' file into your adb or fastboot folder
e. make sure your HOX has atleast 60% charge(50% is also fine)
Flashing procedure:
Reboot into recovery
Select 'wipe data/factory reset'
Select 'wipe data/factory reset for new rom' ( applicable to philz recovery only)
Then go back to main menu in recovery
Select 'install zip from sdcard'
Select the zip file, the one you copied to your HOX
Once it has been flashed properly
Reboot into bootloader
connect your HOX with your PC and make sure the HOX display shows 'fastboot usb' in red
open a command window and go to your fastboot folder
type in fastboot flash boot boot.img
type in fastboot erase cache
type in fastboot reboot
disconnect your hox and wait for 5 to 7 minutes for hox to boot into desktop
Thats it. I always follow these steps and everything is fine. You also have to flash gapps zip file but we need to get a proper rom
loaded first before we can do anything else. gapps is always flashable later so no worries about it.
BTW, does it say 'Unlocked' or 'Relocked' in your bootload on the top of the screen?
Can you post the steps you are following to flash other roms? May be you are missing some steps.
Most of the times, a rom will not boot if you don't flash the boot.img that came with the rom.
Thanks, and let me know your results
[Disclaimer: If you follow these steps then you automatically agree to not hold me and all xda forum staff and members responsible for
any damage that might have resulted following or not following these instructions properly or improperly.]

Leave the steps above for now. First give me the outcome of
Fastboot getvar version-main

Thanks rowlf I have installed a few roms before and am familiar with the installation process.
Sorry mistaken it is hboot 1.36
Mr hofs - the version is 3.14.707.24
In case you need cid is HTC__044

I suggest you run the ruu to get back to full stock and try to update via official ota.
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe
Get the hboot higher up.
Edit :
1.36 ? Thats fine for all roms. When you install a new one i always advice to do the full wipe manually. Factory reset, wipe caches and format cache,data and system ! Then install the rom.

Help with Android_revolution_HD - Wifi doesn't work, Wiping phone assistance

Hi guys!
I'm selling my HTC one m8 Today, and i would like to sell it with the newest version of android, so i installed ARHD 34.0 for HTC one m8 through twrp v2.8.4.0, and it installs without any errors but i can't toggle wifi when it boots up.
i was using One_M8_2.22.401.4_odexed before and i didnt get any OTA's which was very annoying.
what would be easiest to completely unroot my phone delete twrp and find a Stock rom.
Or fix wifi on ARHD 34.0?
i have searched for hours for a fix for either one i beg of your assistance
my HTC one m8 is european, so i guess the international stuff works for me.
and i have S-on
Thanks in advance !

I'm selling my HTC one m8 Today, and i would like to sell it with the newest version of android, so i installed ARHD 34.0 for HTC one m8 through twrp v2.8.4.0, and it installs without any errors but i can't toggle wifi when it boots up.
i was using One_M8_2.22.401.4_odexed before and i didnt get any OTA's which was very annoying.
what would be easiest to completely unroot my phone delete twrp and find a Stock rom.
Or fix wifi on ARHD 34.0?
i have searched for hours for a fix for either one i beg of your assistance
my HTC one m8 is european, so i guess the international stuff works for me.
and i have S-on
Thanks in advance !

Your firmwae is old and that's why wifi is not working.
You have 2 option either S-OFF or flash stock nand and do officail OTA upto 4.4.4 because 5.0 will arrive this week .
Post the result of "fastboot getvar all" and i will provide you backup link.
Hide imei and serial number before posting result of abve command,..

You have to unpack it and place it inside the TWRP backup folder. If you can't see it then perhaps you're looking at the wrong storage location.
Check in both the internal and SD card. Else let TWRP "recreate" the directory for you, can easily do it by making a backup of just boot.
Make sure to copy the contents of the "serial number folder" into "your" own serial number folder(on device).
TWRP/Backups/serialnum/ serialnum is of course the serial number for your own device. Though the backups you download will have the serial number for a different device, which is why I said copy the contents of that folder and not the entire folder.

cmd you'll need to change directory to fastboot/adb folder. It'll be faster though to just open the adb folder, hold shift and right click anywhere in the white area of the folder(not on the files) and select open command prompt here. The command to check for the device isn't fastboot.exe, it's fastboot devices <<<Only if you're in fastboot mode, while in recovery or running Android system it'll be adb devices
You'll have to go to HTCDev.com and follow instructions on how to unlock your bootloader(I saw the other thread you made locking the bootloader ).
You can't flash a custom recovery if the bootloader is locked. So follow on screen instructions at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
On a side note to original question, the command to flash a custom recovery is fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img <<<Recovery image file must be placed inside directory cmd is in, in this case, adb/fastboot folder.

Yeah it's because you still didn't update the firmware for your device, so it won't work!
Download the TWRP nandroid backup(like mentioned before) and place it inside the TWRP backup folder and restore it. After it's restored, flash back the stock recovery and let it do OTA updates.

will it get the OTA's if i install .401 odexed and stock recovery ?

I suppose your first post here probably answered that question for you already...

Why try and make things more complicated than it needs to be. Download a nandroid backup, restore it, flash stock recovery and do OTA's. That's it...

yea but i didnt have stock recovery might be therefor i could'nt install the OTA's
i have deleted ARHD 34.0 now, im gonna find another nandroid backup now and figure out where to put it
should the nandroid backup be in zip ?
- Edit
i found a backup named 2014-10-25--04-09-42 KTU84L release-keys
where should i put it ?

No...I said it in post 6 already, unpack it(in other words, unzip it).
Once it's unzipped you'll probably see a folder named something like yyyy-mm-dd--hh-mm-ss BASENAME release-keys - for example 2014-10-15--23-07-49 KTU84L release-keys... Dates, Time and "BASE"(KTU84L) will obviously change. Inside that folder you'll find files like boot.emmc.win , system.ext4.win000 , recovery.log etc.
That entire folder "2014 [...] release-keys" must be placed inside your serial number folder. If you don't have one yet, create a backup of "Boot" only so that TWRP can create the directory for you. So when it's finished the directory will look something like this:
/storage/ext_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/SH41RMW18761/2014-10-15--23-07-49 KTU84L release-keys/
Storage location might change depending on whether you use SD Card or not. Better to use it anyways. Of course Serial Number SH41RMW18761 is a made up serial number, your devices serial number WILL be different.
Once you placed it in the correct serial folder, you can go into TWRP, select the storage location(Like I said it'll be better to do SD Card) and TWRP should pick up the nandroid backup from there. Select it and swipe to restore.

No just copy the folder in the serial number folder. Then go to TWRP, Select Restore, If you must select SD Card / Internal depending where you place nandroid, then Select the nandroid and swipe to restore.

Yeah you can do a factory reset. It won't get rid of any "system" apps though. Facebook, Twitter and crap like that will stay there.

[A5_CHL] Need TWRP Backup

SuperSU told me that my SU binary was out of date and so i tried to update it through TWRP like it recommended. Well that ended up failing in the middle of it (I don't have logs) and it seems like the backup I had is missing from my SD card. Whenever I load android it goes black screen, it'll show the back button and the status bar but none of that will be interactive. I can power it down but if i wait too long the buttons won't work. Anyways I was hoping someone had a backup for the a5_chl phone.

Sorry your having problems. Why not just get the stock RUU file directly from HTC/downloads and flash back your stock recovery by running the RUU on your computer and before hitting start type %temp% into the search box and go to the RUU's running files and in one of the numbered files will be the rom.zip and within that file will be the recovery image. Copy that to your ADB/fastboot folder then flash it over your TWRP recovery but first I'd wipe the system and data in advanced wipe in TWRP to get your system partition clean( THIS WIPES THE WHOLE PHONE SO BE AWARE OF THAT AND MOVE FILES TO YOUR COMPUTER ACCORDINGLY OR BACK UP USING GOOGLE STOCK BACKUP IN SETTINGS IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY FOR CONTACTS AND NUMBERS ETC). Then relock your bootloader with the stock recovery flashed back and run the RUU or put it in your ext SD and rename the file to OP9CIMG and reboot into your bootloader and it should automatically pick up the file and start flashing it. I have this same model phone and I keep my stock RUU that I got from HTC on my computer for just such a problem. I got a stock recovery zip from somewhere else but i can't remember where but it's also within the RUU itself. Try to find the link for you in a bit.
EDIT: here's a link to someone I know who had a whole tutorial for the a5_ul version of our phone on how to flash back a stock RUU from your computer or from within your ext SD card. Obviously the links with the files aren't valid for our phone but the steps are . Also has instructions for restoring using a TWRP backup but I wouldn't use someone else's TWRP backup if my hair was on fire. Especially since we have access to the pure stock RUU with our version why not take advantage of it. That's all I'm saying.
