[Q] Can't get ROMs to install after rooting - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my HTC Desire 816 following this guide , and then placed Carbon ROM onto my SD card.
When I try to install the .zip from recovery, though, I get this error message:
This package is for device: a5, a5tl, a5dug, a5dwg, a5chl, a5ul; this device is htc_a5dug.
Did I miss a step, or something? Why is does my device have that "htc_" in front of it, preventing me from installing the ROM?

I can't really provide much help, but I have also experienced a similar error and I hope we can find some sort of resolution.

Hey, I actually got this to work! I had to use TWRP recovery instead of ClockworkMod. When I used TWRP and installed the .zip, it worked no problem.
No idea why, but it worked.

TCL P600 / Alcatel One Touch Snap 7025D Root and GAPPS

Root and GAPPS instruction for TCL P600
Since TCL P600, TCL P606 and Alcatel One Touch Snap 7025D are the same phones I just write about TCL P600 now. But it's working for both.
TCL P600 root package: http://www.4shared.com/zip/3HRtqraE/TCL_P600_Root.html
HowTo Root TCL P600:
- Extract the file
- Start the flash tool in extracted folder
- Make sure under options it is choosen “with battery”
- In FlashTool load scatter file contained in folder
- Click checkboxes of BOOTIMG and RECOVERY
- Doubleclick on BOOTIMG and refer to TCL-P600_130417__boot_patched_130508-162244.img
- Doubleclick on RECOVERY and refer to TCL-P600_130417__recovery_130508-162244.img
- Switch off mobile and unplug it from usb
- Click “download” in flash tool
- Plug in usb in phone
- If you get a green circle from flash tool saying OK you’re ready with root shell
- Unplug phone and reboot into CWM
- Start Droidtools and plugin usb to phone again
- Install superuser of your choice into phone.
- Ready – you have full root to phone.
If you experience any problems please check if you used the right drivers. Please check drivers attached in folders. Only use them.
Here is the JB gapps zip for flashing with CWM: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Full instruction of getting a well working TCL P600:
1. First of all I updated the phone with TCL updater to the latest firmware.
2. I rooted it as I described before.
3. I deleted lots of China Apps and also under system/media bootup sounds and some - for me - other stuff not needed in order to get more space on system partition.
4. I installed GAPPS through CWM. I did it with this one: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
After rebooting I got crash of google search. I ignored it and added my google account. After opening playstore then I got update for google search. After updating there is no crashing anymore.
All other gapps are working quite well. I tested GPS for the TCL P600 and was really suprised it works quite fast and accurate.
The only thing: There is no A-GPS setting. Let's say: There is no GPS setting at all. You can only switch GPS on and off. Settings are not included. Maybe this will be unlocked with a modded rom.
I'm now testing all functions in detail but up to now it works really great.
Hope you got it also up to this point. After all steps this phone is really perfect.
------------------
If you brick your phone you have a brick Not my fault. I don't take responsibility of that my instruction will work for you. It worked for me. So now it's up to you.

Custom Recovery
Hey i want to know if this recovery can be ported to my phone the alcatel one touch fierce it is the same as th one touch snap/7025d just without the 8mp camera and splash water proofing everything else is the same i had tried the aoutomatic port for CRR recovery but when it flashed the recovery i got a security error on my alcatel that says "error 101 unaouthorized software installed "it would not boot upand was bricked i bought the same phone again and i am wondering how y'all ported it to the fierces sister phone the one touch snap .thanks and have a great day
I don't know about porting possibility. I guess there is no way. This thread is not about changing the ROM but just how to root the TCL. There is no custom ROM out actually. So I don't see chances to port. Why should this be necessary? Is the stock ROM having problems?

hello weimerd
my problem is that I have rooted the phone but when i delete Chinese applications to install gapps I deleted the app that handles the notification bar and other things, don't have notifications bar

NO i just want to see if thos recovery could work in the case that ne2w rom development would occur and to create a backup for people who need it that is why i wanted to see if it could be ported
Solved the problems
Solved the problems.
I was able to upgrade wiht "TCL 2.7.4 Updater Setup.exe" the mobile software, I had the "TCL 2.7.9 Updater Setup.exe" version and this version told me it was updated. When I tested with 2.7.4 has recharged my sw and have gone back to the top, I rooted again with wiemerd instructions and now everything has worked correctly.
Thank you for your instructions and weimerd Sixpenny by spend "TCL S 2.7.4 Updater Setup.exe" saved me.

Thank you, i will try. I must install some other version of OS, official is fully bugged. After i used ROMs from xda for last 2 years, on my old phone, i forgot how bugged is official android.
There are so much crashes with official version, corupted SD card and so on...
please help me. after reflashing of my rom with flash tool. i have lost my imei and i have not done backup of my efs. my alcatel ot 7025d can't recognize any sim. i need efs backup or way to solve of my problem. i live in ivory coast there are not alcatel sav in this country.
I used kingo for root. Its really one click root tool. If your phone is rooted, you can restore to default. You can try to restore it with that tool.
Anyone know where to download Custom Boot Loader and Newer version of OS?
I have huge problem with this phone. There is all the time problem with memory card. I am using kingston class 10, 16gb memory but from time to time, after i take some picture or use default gallery, i get message that my memory card is corrupted. I need to restart phone and everything is ok, but sometimes it require even 3-5-7 restarts and its really anoying. Cant take pictures, use ringtone from memory cartd etc.
I tried with official updater but still use 4.2.1 version. Anyone have any newer custom rom?
Sorry for off topic but i am sure that this problems can be solved with some newer OS.

[Q] HTC One V U.S. Cellular recovery problems

Alright so I am having some difficulty accessing recovery, I have flashed CWMR and TWRP neither work. When I hold down the power and the vol down button I get the bootloader screen, but when I navigate to recovery it simply says:
This build is for
development purposes only.
Do not distribute outside of HTC
without HTC's written permission.
Failure to comply may
lead to legal action​
I should probably also state that I do have root. I just cant seem to get into recovery to install custom ROMs. ROM Manager says that i have both CWMR and TWRP installed. I tried installing CWMR using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154635
I figured out that was for the GSM version not CDMA so I then came across this link: http://www.deviceseeker.com/2012/08/how-to-root-unlock-bootloader-on-htc-one-v/
These are the instructions I fallowed to achieve root. Still can't access recovery, I have looked everywhere can't seem to find anything on this issue. Any help is appreciated!​
Here is the latest TWRP Recovery for HTC One V CDMA : http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/primoc/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-primoc.img
reflash recvovery using this updated twrp. be sure to delete any twrp directory on your sd card or you will get fail errors when trying to wipe cache,data,etc..also remove any cwm directory on sd card. it could be that the two versions you are have flashed are old..and one was for gsm.
didn't work
Tried to flash it just now, says: can not load unknown error
UPDATE: forgot to put the .IMG at the end it seems to be working now! Thank you so much for you help. I couldn't find a working link to download the correct recovery. All seems to be fine now! This is only the 3rd phone that I have rooted and only the second HTC. Greatly appreciate the help.

you are welcome tyler,and welcome to the forums!
edit: seeing as you are a u.s. cellular user,if you use any of the cdma roms..they should work but you will lose mms capabilities. that can be resolved by adding your mms settings to a rom. im looking for the correct mms settings for u.s. cellular but have not had much luck. if i find them i will add support at least to slim bean 3.1

[Q] Help!! Firmware gone and PC doesnt recognize my M9!!

I installed recovery to root my HTC One M9 yesterday. It seemed like I made some mistakes and now my firmware is totally gone and my computer doesn't recognize my phone anymore. However I still have access to recovery and I want to know if installing a Rom via SD-card is possible or not. If not, what should I do? Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks!!!
What recovery do you have access to? If it's twrp then yes you can load from sd card.. Have you tried an RUU for your phone? That should work as well.

Hello! Recovery I installed was PhilZ Touch CWM. I'm trying right now! Thanks.
Hi .. I think I made things confused a bit. What I meant by SD-card was external micro SD-card. Thanks!
Not sure what you mean by firmware. This is what you need to do:
Install the latest version of adb. Go to recovery, turn on sideload mode.
in cmd prompt-> adb sideload *location/name of rom.zip* e.g. c:\users\xxx\rom.zip
Restart and bam you are done

Does the computer recognize the phone in bootloader/fastboot/download mode? If you can enter recovery and download mode, then your phone is probably working fine (except for not having a working ROM) and your computer should see your phone on some level.
Are you using WIndows? I think you might need to get your device drivers on your computer working. Check Device Manager if you're in windows. With your phone connected, you should have 2 devices. One should be under a section called Android USB Devices (might be called My HTC) and the other is going to be under Portable Devices section (might be called HC One M9). If you don't have both, then you need to work on your driver issue on your computer.
Edit: Sorry if this is blunt, but since you seem to not really know some very basic terminology, i recommend that you do a LOT of reading on this forum so you can have a better understanding of what's going on with your device and how to solve your problem. I know you might feel like youre in panic-mode because your device won't boot, but you're going to get into more trouble if you just start trying a bunch of "solutions" without having any understanding of what you're doing. I know, because I've been there before.
Edit2: Also, it would help to steer you in the correct direction if you listed your location and carrier info

Actually, the beta version 2.8.6.4 is not recommendet anymore. Captian_Throwback now recommends using the official version 2.8.6.1. (Sidenote: The version number of the official one is lower because the numbering of the beta version is unofficial.)

Soft bricked my HTC One X (India);Help needed as am dead in water after a week

The following is a description of the events that lead to the brick. I am writing here in utter desperation and have tried almost everything available on the forums and around the web. Requesting assistance from any person in India or anywhere who knows the device well and can help me.
1) I had been using HTC One X for around two years. It went dead slow and I went looking out for options. Found cleaners and other software but nothing helped much.
2) I decided to flash a ROM like I have done on my Micromax A116(Indian mobile brand, available on XDA forums as well).
3) After a bit of research I found that I have to unlock the bootloader and install recovery(installing the recovery isnt new to me)
4) I then unlocked the bootloader and tried installing the ROM.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753450
5) The installation was a failure due to some partition error.
6) I looked around XDA and found a solution.
7) This is where I goofed up.
I was unable to install the ROM and so I wiped everything using philz touch recovery. It even wiped the backup(I forgot I do not have the option of memory card on this Indian model of HTC One X).
Now after the restart, nothing comes up. I tried flashing other recovery like TWRP 2.8 which is flashing fine however, am unable to do anything except go in bootloader(fastboot, Hboot etc) or inside the recovery.
I read about RUUs, and how to make my phone detectable in PC and use ADB to copy ROM and re-flash it but nothing works at the moment. After a week of trying myself, I am here if anyone can help me out. Would deeply appreciate if anyone can find some time and check out on my issue.
I have HTC One X: CID HTC__038
Hboot: 1.73+

Help --Htc Desire 530 --Deleted OS while in TWRP Recovery

Device:
Htc Desire 530
Marshmallow 6.01
T-Mobile/MetroPCS
Ok long story short I rooted my device correctly and then while in TWRP browsing I deleted my OS....
Now the phone is still rooted, and I can flash/un-flash TWRP, but it has major issues connecting with adb and sometimes fastboot as well. I guess basically what I'm asking is for help to get any compatible OS installed.
Thanks in advance
Good day Owl,
Please refer to my Stock Images thread and flash the stock (.img) file for the T-Mobile variant. If you have any issues with this process just shoot me a PM and we can figure out what else to do.

Right so that's the problem I'm having for instance when i go to simply just drag and drop the stock images to my phone i get a corrupted error. Now if i go to fastboot the stock images it gives me a 35 RU_NOT_SUPPORT error. adb just wont connect. i think im done for.
Have you tried reformatting the "internal SD" partition before attempting to "Enable MTP" from the mount menu?
Also, do you happen to have access to a Micro-SD?

Don't doubt yourself Grasshoppa... Wax On, Wax Off.
Ok, so if I'm getting this right you've already grabbed the "Stock Image" and un-compressed it.
Bc this image is so large and you've already been having corruption issues I'd say your best bet would be moving it to the root of an SD-Card.
So i have now sort-of fixed the adb connection issue and sideloaded the twrp recovery, sunshine apk, and supersu files from your page. where im getting hung up i when i go to flash the roms you have on your "stock" post im getting denied flashing the boot image and system image with the error message: 35 RUU NOT_SUPPORT blah blah haaaaaalp, btw my S is still on and i flashed all three of your files sir haaalp
