[Q] Help! I am stuck, Can't flash any Rom on my Htc Desire

Whenever I try to flash a rom, i get this error:
E:Can't chown/mod /system/etc/init.d (No such file or directory)
E:Failure at line 64: set_perm etc.
Installation aborted!
The roms i have tried are: Pinky's Rom, Leedroid, Official(rooted) rom
Hboot; Version: 0.93
I can't figure out what to do! Someone please help!

Did you root with alpharev?
If not do it and install alpharev recovery as you root it and will be fine.
I had same issue and that fixed it

You cannot root with alpharev! Alpharev seets you s-off. Before alpharev can do this, you need root access. This you get by rooting your phone e.g. with unrevoked. Alpharev does not have an own recovery, it is clockworkmod.
@Umair.K:
Did you root your phone already?

So you run unrevoked then alpharev? Or only unrevoked? Because with mine i had to run untrvoked then alpha to be able to use recovery

Yes. First unrevoked to get root + recovery and then alpharev to s-off.

Ok thank you i hope this helps op as well

Oh sorry should have given all those details before, here you go:
Bravo Pvt3 S-off
Hboot- 0.93.1000
Radio: 5.09.00.20
And as you can see, I am rooted and plus S-off with Alpha rev... The weird part is that I can flash Cm7-Stable mod and its working but whenever i try to flash any other rom, i get the error!
E:Can't chown/mod /system/etc/init.d
(No such file or directory)
E: Failure at line 65:
set_perm_recursive 0 0 0777 0777 SYSTEM:etc/init.d

You have partition for CM7, so any sense rom don't have enough space in /system.
Repartition your phone (look in alpharev site) as sense (default) partition. /system must be 250mb

Oh Thankyou soo much man! Thats exactly what I didn't think of before
But could you give me a guide line on how to partition my sd card like that? Because I purchased the phone from someone else, and he had done all the work himself!
It would be really helpful! Thanks!

You cant partition your sd like that ... you should flash STOCK HBOOT... find it at Alpha Rev pages... and there you will find diferent HBOOT's and everything will be clear for you... You partition your SD for needs of diferent ROM's but when it comes to HBOOT there is only few of them... I suggest CM7 HBOOT.. the one with 130 Mb for system, but pay attention on which ROM you flash...

Ha ha.
He is having problems because of CM7 hboot and you suggest to flash it? He needs stock hboot.

Alright thats quite clear but the instructions aren't quite clear on Alpha Rev's page!
It says "If you are already S-OFF, you can get our newest patched HBOOTs from here. (without going through the entire procedure again).
Please read the entire table and pick the partition table with the correct sizes for your ROM. One easy way to switch partition tables, is to nandroid backup,
and verify that the sizes of your backup are indeed the ones listed in the table (or smaller), and restore after flashing hboot"
-So afterwards I tried to use the PB99.img by placing it on the root of my sd card and flashing it via recovery, but didn't work!
-Then i tried to use "Android Flasher(1.76)" to flash the new hboot, but that failed aswell! :S
So do i have to repeat the whole S-off procedure again or do i need to use cmd and type in commands to flash a new H-boot? This is getting confusing :O!

If your phone is s-off, you do not have to s-off again. To recognize if your phone is s-off:
1.) Splash screen is the joker
2.) If you boot into hboot (starting with pressed volume down button) first line should be "alpharev" and in the second line the last should be "s-off".
When you use android flasher, you must not use the file PB99_IMG-XXX.zip. You have to use the file bravo_alphaspl-xxx.img ("xxx" stands for the hboot you want).
When you use the method with PB99IMG_XXX.zip, you have to rename the file into PB99IMG.zip and copy it to the root of you sd-card (just watch out, you do not rename it to PB99IMG.zip.zip, because windows hides known file extensions).
Wether you decide for android flasher or directly the method with the zip files, make a complete nandroid backup first. Then download the hboot you want and you need for the method you decided (Do not forgot to check md5 after downloading the hboot!) and run the update.
How you do this:
Android flasher:
1.) Make sure you have usb debug mode on, the behaviour when usb is connected is on "only load" and you have installed hboot dand htc drivers
2.) Connect the phone with your computer
3.)
4.) Choose the file bravo_alphaspl-xxx.img and run the update (android flasher will say you when it's finished)
PBIMG99.zip:
(...)Start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC.

(from alpharev website)
In both methods now boot into recovery, wipe everything and restore the nandroid backup.
No warranty for any damage!

Download and install the app quick system info pro:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/quick-system-info-pro/org.uguess.android.sysinfo.pro
After starting you can compare the showed partition sizes to these of downloaded hboot. If it's fitting, everything is all right. I remember i had the same "issue" and everything is fine.

you don't need a rooted rom for revolutionary or alpharev... When the utility runs it gains temp root and is able to continue. The proof is in the wildfire AND me running it straight after I used a RUU on my Desire and used it without rooting

I doubt it's your sd-card. Okay since you've got S-OFF lets flash a different recovery. Follow these steps:
All you have to do is downlaod fastboot commander, and the java jdk for the tool to work.
Then, download the Ra Desire recovery
Once you've got that, but into fastboot (power off, hold back key & power), and plug in via USB.
run fastboot commander, navigate to the "misc" tab, select "recovery" "boot" "userdata" "system" "cache" "sd-ext"and nothing else and click "erase chosen partition(s)", then go back to the "Hboot, radio & rec" tab, choose "recovery", and find the recovery.img you have downloaded.
Then, simply press "flash recovery"
Once that's done, power off and reboot into recovery (power off, volume down & power, then use volume down key to navigate to RECOVERY and press power to select)
Then flash a ROM of your choice. For me this is the best way to flash new ROMs since it's a good, clean install and you don't get remaining crap left over from old ROMs

Did you wipe everything before flashing the rom?
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

yes, i'll try this and let u know if its working... thanks...
by the way, i've wipe everything before i try to flash a new ROM, wiping DalvikCache is unsuccesfull...

With this information it is impossible to help you! Read and follow what erklat posted or rather meant with it.

1. can you enter ure bootlaoder
2.do you have clockwork mod or a recovery installed ?
3. are you s off or s on ?
4. what did you do eg did you flash a certain file etc ?

Is it the "white htc screen" as in the boot animation? Or the boot logo? If it's the boot animation then a simple full wipe will solve all the problems but if it's the actual boot logo, then you may be in a big mess.

[Q] HTC Wildfire Buzz: stuck and doesnt accept custom roms or RUUs

Hi,
I have HTC Wildfire Buzz which had a problem getting stucking at HTC logo and kept rebooting. I decided to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom, I downloaded CWM recovery and tried flashing a custom rom but got an error and then I tried flashing different variations of CM roms such as update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip and cm_buzz_full-256.zip but I got different types of errors including Err 7.
The other custom rom I tried to install was Android_Freedom_Wildfire_By_MONI69_a2sd but I kept getting the following error:
E:Can't symlink /system/bin/cat
E:Failure at line 10: symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat
installation aborted
I tried running different relevant RUUs based on my phone region but always ended up with error due to the fact that the firmware version currently installed is 2.46.0.0 and all the RUUs have versions lower than it.
I would appreciate providing me with your guidance and advice, my phone info is provided below.

hey man, silly question but are you sure you are doing a full factory wipe, data wipe cache wipe and dalvick cache wipe?
you should do the wipes every time you try to flash a new rom.

Another alternative is formating all partitions before flashing..
and btw did u extract the whole zip for boot.img?
what is ur cwm version?
did u try disabling signature check and script asserts??

Its my wife's phone. Out of the blue started getting stuck in HTC logo and kept rebooting. Yes, its unlocked using HTCDEV and it shows that in hboot "UNLOCKED".
Appreciate your further feedback..

I'd first try a different sd card, it looks to me like it's not reading properly with some of those errors, mount /system from Cwm mounts and storage option before wiping and flashing the new rom too, if that fails try fastboot flashing Cwm 5.0.2.0, then try again. I've never seen this problem before so my apologies if I'm way off the mark.

i have the same problem here.
hboot 1.02.0000 - won't downgrade for anything in the world
s-on
in cwm i cannot install any rom. says "status 0 installation aborted" or "bad"
the ruu's are not working either.
i don't have a backup or a rom installed. if there's anyone who can provide me a buzz backup so i can restore into my phone, i would much appreciate it. i think is the single thing i didn't try.

It already has been mentioned a few times here in the forum: htcdev won't give you s-off and it's not absolutely clear (= not confirmed) that can get s-off after the htcdev unlock (because you can't downgrade the HBOOT).
I have no idea if there's a possibility but it doesn't look good - there are 2 other threads regarding this issue here in Q&A or General section - you might want to have a look.
For the install problem I'm pretty sure that's something different as you usually should be able to install a ROM...

i have looked into othet threads. nothing works

You need to relock your boot loader for an ruu to work. relock the bootloader and remove the rom.zip from the htcdev bootloader unlock ruu. Remember an ruu with a lower hboot will not run. Rename it to pc49img.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot to hboot and allow the bootloader to flash the rom. but if I was you I would just try to get access to an xtc clip and fully s-off the phone. Then it will run any ruu and custom rom.

thanx for the answer. i have relocked my bootloader. renamed the rom and put it on the root of the sdcard. the hboot shows a loading bar, but after loading, nothing happens. the part with the removing the rom.zip from the htcdev bootloader unlock ruu i didn't understand. can you be more specific? thanx
quick edit: when running a ruu, it gives me usb connection error

Here's the quick guide
Install hTc drivers successfully on pc.
Remove hTc sync and other related apps.
Now download clockworkmod recovery(whichever you want) and fastboot+adb kit on pc.
Open fastboot.
Connect ur phone. Load the bootloader and then fastboot. Fastboot mode(something like that) should be on your phone. Paste recovery and boot image in fastboot folder.
Type fastboot devices
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img(i faintly remember what this was, sorry )
Type fastboot flash 'recoveryname'.zip
After that disconnect ur phone.
Select recovery.
(If u dont see anything, it was unsuccessful, hold vol up+power to see default recovery.)
Now install roms like this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851096):p(my rom) via recovery.
Hit Thanks.
You are done
Note:s off is not required for flashing a custom rom, however an unlocked bootloader is.
Edit: Hey sorry didnt read my earlier posts, after all wf is slow on internet.
However this is the problem where u you are flashing incorrect boot.img
Make sure its from your rom, or try using the one in cm7, try both as Im not exactly certain. If u have cwm it asserts that u have root and you can flash roms.

Here's the quick guide
Install hTc drivers successfully on pc.
Remove hTc sync and other related apps.
Now download clockworkmod recovery(whichever you want) and fastboot+adb kit on pc.
Open fastboot.
Connect ur phone. Load the bootloader and then fastboot. Fastboot mode(something like that) should be on your phone. Paste recovery and boot image in fastboot folder.
Type fastboot devices
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img(i faintly remember what this was, sorry )

i made every step you told me to. this is what i get.
the only way i can make the phone visible in adb, is in recovery. being unable to boot a rom, i cannot set the usb debugging mode. so, everything that i will make, is via fastboot or ruu. but ruu gives me usb connection error or error [155] in fastboot, and baterry < 30% in adb mode.

What if you unlock your bootloader again and flash a recovery.img from fastboot? Maybe there is problem with your cwm recovery. I guess you have already tried formatting you sd card, tried a different sd card and tried different custom roms.
I would definitely try to get some more charge in your phone first because if you loose power while flashing it could end up really bad. An RUU won't install on low battery (i thought you needed >70%) what if you charge up and run ruu from adb again?

Rename your CID to HTC_001 (fastboot writecid HTC__001). Relock your bootloader using fastboot oem lock. Run a WWE RUU. Use the rooting link in my sig.
Done, and don't ever root with HTCDev again.

just to be clear, the phone was in this state, it's not mine. i am only trying to put whatever rom i can so i can make it work

Help needed after failed flash.

By mistake I have tried to update my HTC One X with an EVITA rom, now my Phone is not booting at all.
Tried installing the original RUU_ENDEAVOR exe, but it gives ma a 156/158 error. During the update of the signature (translated).
I guess because it is assuming I have a (not working) 4.18.401.2 ROM now and it only sets the stock back if it is equal or newer to that version (no where to be found).
Secondly when I try to install any rom the fastboot commando is returning "remote: not allowed".
The bootloader is giving me the following information:
*** UNLOCKED ****
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL
GBOOT-1.72.0000
COKD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-5.1204.167.31

HW Secure boot : enabled

I can enter RECOVERY with has ClockWorks installed, when I try to install a custom rom there with sideload it says "remote: not allowed"
Cleared all Cash and cleaned the device, Relocking the bootloader does not help, leaving the phone shutdown for a while, are things I did try my self already.
I am totally stuck and would appreciate any advice you might have !

Go into recovery, mount the sd card. Copy a rom on there, full wipe and flash it

As long as you can still get into recovery, you can probably still flash a new rom. Do a full wipe (including dalvik cache). If you can not get into recovery try flashing recovery first from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), place recovery.img in fastboot folder

If I go in recovery and mount my sdcard, how do I copy something on the cart ?
Assuming there is a sdcard in the phone internal somewhere, my device does not seem to have a slot to put one in.

Ok, found new info...
When booting in the bootloader it if giving errors (screen goes a way quickly after, needed 6 resets before I could type it over):
SD Checking...
Failed to open usb master mode
[Preload] Failed to open usb master mode
Loading PJ46IMG.zip image...
Failed to open usb master mode
Please plug off USB
Does this give any hints?

Ok, I had to go in the recovery to 'Mount USB device'.. Then Windows got a drive and I could copy a rom (zip) to the sdcart..
That one I installed in the recovery menu. after some minutes it did say it was done, and now the phone is working with a custom rom !!
Thanks Agil1ty !!!

Good.

This is because you had a USB plug in when starting bootloader. That's all.

Still having the problem? Wipe your cache and dalvik cache. Restore backup. If your on JB, try flashing your ROM afew times to get it working proper. Did about 5 times on Saturday before I got my phone back to normal.

[Q] Recovery, attempted flash with s-on, am I screwed?

I accidentally tried to flash a rom with S-on (I wasn't thinking and was in a hurry). I have recovery still. But I cannot get any rom (stock or otherwise) to flash successfully -- when I flash CM or LS I just get "{phone|nfc|system} services have stopped working".
I've tried to flash via sideload in recovery and the fastboot sideload always stops at 76%. I'm not quite sure what my options are. I've googled around for a few hours, but cannot find anything that is what I need.
TWRP cannot mount data or cache...
Is it possible to S-off in recovery?
My hboot is:
M8-UL PVT SHIP s-on
Mar 4, 2014 - 3.16.0.0000
Radio-1.14.21331931.LA02_2g
OpenDSP-v26.2.2-005380M8974.0106

Sounds like you have the wrong recovery for your phone.

What version of TWRP are you using? I'm only using 2.7.1.0 - I know that previous versions had sometimes issues. As far as I know you can't get s-off in recovery. Only when being in fastboot (bootloader).

fastboot erase cache
load twrp, do not click side load
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
try to flash rom, takes a while to send rom over, about 400 sec for 1.5 gigs. Wait till your prompt comes back up before flashing
If this doesn't work, yuou will need to format data so make sure your internal card is backed up if needed
No soff, phone must be booted with stock kernel to gain soff.

[solved] Fixed it!

I was/am using Philz recovery.
Thanks, what ended up happening is the /data AND the /cache partitions were corrupted so I had to e2fsck those partitions. I then could reload a stock image, get s-off and am now in a happy place
