Help --Htc Desire 530 --Deleted OS while in TWRP Recovery - HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers

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

Hey man, you were helping me yesterday so I figured you could point me in the right direction. I have TWRP installed running well. But I can't seem to install a custom Tom to get root status for some reason... the system keeps denying the request even though I have the boot loader unlocked, Supersu is also installed

Have you tried or attempted to flash an Official RUU yet? Sorry for the delay, I work from 6AM-7PM..

[Q] Bricked Evo Help!!!

So my brother tried to update his Evo with the official update. For some reason his Evo is bricked. He went and decided to switch companies and get an iPhone and gave me his Evo.
When i turn it on its on an infinite reboot. Only thing i can get to is the bootloader menu (holding the power and up key or the other menu with the down key key). Im new to this and dont know if I should just tank it. Im pretty sure there is a way to make it come back to life so if someone can offer any help I would appreciate it.
Some technical notes.
1.) I installed the usb driver so my desktop recognizes it.
2.) I tried updating it in fastboot usb mode using the RUU Supersonic 1.32.651_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.
It looked like it was working. It asked me if I wanted to update(better yet downgrade) from Image version 4.22.651.2 to Image version 1.32.651.1. It rebooted the device it said it was erasing the user data, then it said it was sending then updating signature........then it tanked and says ERROR[140]:BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR The ROM Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I dont know how to root i dont know how to hack. I just want it to work. Please let me know how to get it fixed. Im tired of my blackberry.
3.)I tried to do the PC36IMG thing and I dont know what its supposed to do. But when it goes to read it I get a PC36DIAG.zip cannot be found or missing and a PC36Diag.n something missing.
Thanks
Do you have htc sync installed? It won't work unless you have the actual htc sync suite installed. Just google it won't cost you anything. I semi bricked my phone but I fixed it. Maybe some things I done in this thread could help you. Just skim through a few of my posts'.

My last tip would be to put the phone in fastboot and then run the 3.29 ruu exe. It worked for me, here's the link. Just make sure you have htc sync installed and it's not running when u try to run the ruu (from fastboot in bootloader).

Was the phone rooted when he updated. In Hboot does it say s-off. If so try running the pc36img.zip of amon ra and see if you can get a recovery image back on the phone to work out of.

The RUU you used is pretty old, I would try a newer one, such as the 3.70 software. What version is your hboot, and is it S on or S off? Where is it bootlooping at? (the white HTC EVO 4G screen, or the actual boot animation?)
I selected the old one because that one never gives me issues, the 3.30 and 3.70 never work for me

My hboot is: HBOOT-2.16.0001
S-ON
Its bootlooping at the white HTC EVO4 screen.
Any ideas.
I have tried RUU:
3.26.651.6
3.29.651.5
3.29.651.6
3.29.651.5
3.70.651.1
The only one that actually does anything is 1.32.651.1 The rest just fail giving me an ERROR [170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR. Could be because HTC sync cant install the driver. How Can I get that driver installed. Could it be my OS?

I would try running the RUU as a PC36IMG, if you haven't already. Download PC36IMG of the RUU you wish to use, and put it on the main directory of your SD card. Then boot to the bootloader, and let it detect the PC36IMG. It should scan it, then ask you to update. Select volume up for yes, and let it run it's course. Perhaps that method will work out better for you.
Dirk, thats odd that you get errors on the new RUU's. Sometimes if the hboot and radios don't match up the RUU won't run.
EDIT: And yes, you definitely could be getting that error (most likely are) because HTC won't install the driver. You need to get that installed. I would still just try the PC36IMG though.

Just make sure that the file is named PC36IMG.zip (exactly that).
Sorry but I have to ask why your friend didn't bring it right to sprint and get them to fix it they would have replaced it in a second for a bad upgrade?

My brother is impulsive and he didnt like the fact that it bricked on him. If it was me I would have definitely taken it to sprint.
You could try this don't know if they will or not but I'm kind of cool with some guys at one of those little stands in a mall now they are sprint but not really they helped me with an old phone I was having problems with that wasn't activated they don't really care and they have the tools to fix things but the one I go to like to show me just how much they know about androids witch isn't much LOL.
Might be worth a shot you might find a guy thats into moding and would like to show off.

I've been trying man. Im getting nowhere with this. I tried the RUU 3.70 and it just crashed asked me if I wanted to debug. So im gonna try one of the older versions. At least its seeing these with the HTC sync working.

Yea, I would either try an RUU again now that you've got HTC Sync installed, or format your SD card, and put ONLY the PC36IMG on there, then try it again. The only time I've seen a PC36IMG file not ask you to update is if the card needed to be formatted for one reason or another.

I tried the RUU again and it gotas far as the signature and then it crapped out again.
Error [140] BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
Have no idea what the problem could be. Gonna try reformatting the card one more time and see what happens. So frustrating!!!
Maybe try to update or downgrade your hboot version.

*Assuming you're working on a windows machine*
Go to this site http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
and download ruu 3.70.
Without your phone connected, run the ruu until it gets to the first dialog box (it should have a checkbox that says "I understand the caution..." blah blah).
With this dialog still open, go to start > run and type "%TEMP%" without quotes.
Inside this folder look for a file called "rom" or "rom.zip" (you are going to have to go through all subfolders) depending on your windows settings (Hide extensions for known file types).
When you find it move it to your desktop and rename it to "PC36IMG" or "PC36IMG.zip" accordingly.
Get a card reader and take your sdcard out of your phone and place it in the card reader. Place the PC36IMG file you renamed on the root of the sdcard. Install your sdcard back into the phone and boot into bootloader. This should scan the card and find the PC36IMG and reinstall a bone stock non-rooted 2.2 rom.
If this method fails, it's possible the nand may have been corrupted in the update process. I'm better at troubleshooting if I have the device with me so this is the best I can do.

That is frustrating. It sounds like there may be a problem with your current boot.img, and maybe that's why it won't let the RUU re-write the boot.img when it's trying. That would also explain you not being able to boot, because if your bootloader is corrupted somehow, then you won't be able to get anywhere at all. Unfortunately, the bootloader you're on (HBOOT-2.16)isn't downgradeable. I'm starting to suspect that you're getting the bootloader version error because when you run the older RUU, it will try to flash an older version of hboot. Since the version you're on is NOT able to be downgraded, it's probably erroring out when it tries to downgrade, but it can't. I would suspect that if the RUU for the 4.22 software was available and you were able to run that one, then it would succeed. The problem is that you're trying to downgrade, and you can't do that. I'm not sure what went wrong when the OTA was accepted, but it seems like something did, and now you're stuck. I would guess that the only way to fix it would be to reflash the OTA (which you can't because you can't boot), or run the RUU for 4.22, which isn't available yet. My speculations may not be accurate, but that's my guess!

Nabi 2 Keyboard problem

I followed a utube instruction to route Nabi 2 however I ran into a problem with keyboard, the error message that came up is: "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped". I could not enter any text. At this point I was in child mode and could not get access to Mommy mode to allow me to change settings. I decided to do a factory reset thinking it would clear keyboard error...it didn't. When you do a factory reset it brings you to set-up screen that needs text entry which I cant do. I've been advised to return it to stock but when I try run the return to stock zip file (filed is called fuhu_nabi2_back_to_stock_from_scratch) via SD card it comes up with this message:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanks

Not sure which technique you used to root. Did you also install the Google play store? If so, it sounds like you installed the wrong gapps.
I would boot to twrp and install the 1011 gapps.

Hi There,
Unfortunately I can only get to the Nabi Set-up screen. I can't get to the TWRP screen. I can't enable developers options (USB Debugging) as I cant get into the device (This I think is the biggest problem as I cant see the NABI through PDA net and can run any recovery apps from SD as developer option is not enabled). I seem to be stuck in a loop and not sure where to go from here!
Any help or thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks

Turn off the device. Power on the device by holding the power and volume up. At the option menu press volume down to get to recovery kernel and press volume up. This will get you to twrp.

Hi,
Thanks for that. I now have access to TWRP and though I would be OK. However when I try to install GAPPs or a Keyboard zip file it continuallys comes up with this error:
E: Unable to mount '/data' (tw_mount)
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
Any thoughts on this one? It seems to be related to SD card but I have tried a couple to no avail. Can the tablet reject SD cards?
THanks again for your help.

Hi There,
That seemed to work and I now have GAPPS installed and the keyboard working. Unfortunately the only problem remaining is that Wi-Fi is not working. It previously seen my Wi-Fi connection point and now it will not turn on i.e. I try to switch on Wi-Fi but it keeps going back to the Off position? Very strange. I'm on Android 4.0.4 and have tried the change in Mammy and Daddy mode! I appreciate your help with this and don't want to take up your time so I may post this issue under a new heading.
Thanks again for all your help and giving me the solution.

When I first rooted mine, probably some time in late Feb the consensus seemed to be to install the latest OTA software upgrade before rooting in order to avoid WiFi problems. I did this and I have not had WiFi problems. Just recently there has been yet another software and interestingly the bullet point summary of what has changed claims fixes for WiFi issues.
To install the upgrade from the rooted state you need to:
* Use the TWRP recovery to restore the backup you took when rooting to return the main OS to stock.
* Use adb fastboot flash to restore the original recovery.
* Boot normally, connect to WiFi, parent mode, settings/about/update and download/install the update.
[The OTA update works by downloading a file which is then installed by the stock recovery in a reboot cycle.]
* Use adb fastboot flash to flash TWRP recovery.
* Use TWRP recovery to backup the latest stock, install root.zip and gapps.zip.
There is more than one version of TWRP and I found the older one worked for me and the newer one had touch screen problems but you may find otherwise. The various versions are discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074501

I see you helped this other person and hope you can me too. I like they did, followed the youtube video on how to root and install google play. It worked great when I did this last year on my kids nabi. I tried to do it again this year with a friends and kinda fell into a hole. My keyboard stopped work as well. I went back and tried to fix it by putting the gapps 1011. Well I didnt delete the old one (didnt know how) and now I cant get into TWRP. I have tried getting the recovery kernal and now when I push vol + it starts to load then gives me the dead android guy. Any suggestions on how to fix this. I sure hope so. Thanks

I followed a utube instruction to route Nabi 2 however I ran into a problem with keyboard, the error message that came up is: "Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped". I could not enter any text. At this point I was in child mode and could not get access to Mommy mode to allow me to change settings. I decided to do a factory reset thinking it would clear keyboard error...it didn't. When you do a factory reset it brings you to set-up screen that needs text entry which I cant do. I've been advised to return it to stock but when I try run the return to stock zip file (filed is called fuhu_nabi2_back_to_stock_from_scratch) via SD card it comes up with this message:

Rooted Nabi JR with wrong Root
I have been working on my step-sons nabi for a week now. I rooted three Tabeos fine but then i thought i could do the Nabi JR and it would go perfect...i was wrong. I accidently rooted it with the same package for the Tabeo and now when i boot it up the keyboard forces close and i cant do anything. I can not get to daddy mode, can not usb debug. there is no TPK or whatever installed to boot with. Im at a loss, all i can do is load from usb in the stock bootload menu but i cant seem to get it to work. I need help please...i voided the warranty and now he has no nabi! this is also the Nick JR version of the Nabi, i cant be sure what else is in it considering im stuck at the enter daddy password and no keyboad...

Which Nabi JR? There are 2 versions. 4GB with tegra 2, or 16GB with tegra 3. Makes a difference in how we can help you. Probably need to put TWRP on device and restore a stock ROM. Then use TWRP to root it.
are the ROMs out there? I didn't see anything on the wiki page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Fuhu_nabi_Jr
I have to admit though, I don't follow the Jr very much, so for all I know the ROMs are all over the place.
need to fix nabi JR
how can i get twrp without entering debug mode..i cant even get into the nabi to get debug on...i can only access bootloader

I think the 16GB tegra 3 is posted. Maybe the TWRP thread? Can't remember. Mr. Karz usually helps people that need the Nabi JR 4GB tegra 2. I think I have both ROM's but they aren't my creation and I don't have the devices to test so I don't post them.

You would use fastboot to flash TWRP from the bootloader. That's why I asked which Nabi you have. 2 different TWRP versions, and the tegra3 version has a locked bootloader, so you have to wipe the device to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP.
break it down for me
can you break that down on how i do that. i deleted everything out of it its in stock but keyboard does not work to access anything, i know its still rooted but i dont know how to fix it.

What version of the Nabi software were you on? Was the tablet stock or had you rooted it, gapps, etc? Can you boot Android but just the keyboard doesn't work? Or are there more issues besides the keyboard. Are your just trying to fix the one problem or are you trying to wipe the device and start fresh?
Likely you will need to get TWRP on the tablet, or at least be able to boot to TWRP. Answer those questions and I can have a better idea of what we can do.

The Nabi wouldn't take the latest update and it was apparently rooted to gain access to the google play store. It now appears the OS and everything else has been erased. I told my wife I would take a look at it and I immediately regret that decision, this is beyond my scope.
The only thing i have been able to access is the android screen which gives me access to the sd card. My laptop does not recognize it. I found this thread after a lot of searching and reading, some of the nabi threads are insanely long, and when I googled 'signature verification failed' to see if I could find someone stuck at the same point I am,
"I've been advised to return it to stock but when I try run the return to stock zip file (filed is called fuhu_nabi2_back_to_stock_from_scratch) via SD card it comes up with this message:

Everything I have tried to run from the sd has returned this message. There's no keyboard, there's only the android screen. Anything else I try to do just freezes it. I was hoping to get it back to stock and let it update itself. So I guess the first thing I need to do I figure out how to get twrp on it.

I can’t delete apps and I can’t reset my phone

For Gizmoe first time post, thanks for your info I found it with a google search, I was trying to follow your suggestion to FiFa_JockeR, but HTC does not have my phone on their web site. Can you please try to help me reset my phone somehow?
I have a HTC Incredible (ADR6300) and I just want to start over with this phone. Verizon stores no help, HTC customer service no help. They try to do what I’ve done already, “a factory reset”. But it just does not reset! with or without the SD card. This all started with the force closes on a few apps. Then I thought I would delete allot of apps just for the heck of it, then I ran into another problem. I can delete an app(s) while the phone is on but when the phone is rebooted or turned off then on again the deleted app(s) reappears. So I can’t delete apps and I can’t reset my phone. It’s exactly the same as FiFa_JockeR (just like the pictures) only we have different phones from HTC. PS phone has never been rooted.

The incredible (ADR6300) is on the www.htcdev.com/bootloader unlocker site, under HTC Droid Incredible *. Best bet is to unlock and flash a recovery, then from recovery do a full wipe. That is if it lets you, i have a feeling you will get errors formating both /data and /cache. If so its pretty much unfixable. There is a mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175346, that will mount /data and /cache to seperate partitions on your sdcard. This makes the phone a little slower, especially booting. But a slow phone is better than no phone, if you cant get a new one. If you need any help just post back.
Does this mean I'm rooting my phone?

At the bottom of the ruu update page there should be a proceed / continue button. Click on that and it should move on to having you get an identifier code from your phone, to send to htc.

It seems that htc has removed the ruu bootloader update part of the unlock process. Probably because the latest ota should make everyone have an unlockable hboot already. So just do all the steps 1 - 10.
You are not flashing a rom, at least not yet. A rom is basicly an opperating system like windows.
Right now you are getting an identifier token from your phone which you submit to htc in step 10. They will email you back another code with instructions, which you will enter into the phone using hboot and a cmd prompt on your pc.
Just follow all those steps on htcdev and then we will go from there. In your spare time you should read up on rooting and roms and custom recoveries, so that you have some clue of how your phones going to work once were done.

Well here I am at HTCdev trying to do step 1, I Select my Device and click Begin Unlock Bootloader. Then I get this dialog box, “Do you wish to continue?” I click yes and nothing happens, I wait, and wait, then click no and it responds by going back to the prior page where you select your device. So I tried selecting other devices and none of them work, sounds like a problem on their site. So I’m at a stand still maybe you can try it and see if step 1 will work for you? by the way I only see 5 steps,like the Attached Thumbnail I uploaded in post #3. also must be a common problem for htcdev just google htcdev and see the results of autocomplete (Thumbnail).
Update 4/29/13: I think I found the 10 steps, checkout this video.

This is what i'm trying to do right?,he recommends getting SDK tools too, is this what I should do? In taking your advice to read up on... I googled "rooting and roms and custom recoveries" that's how I found the video.
Unfortunately I still get the same result at the HTCdev site, can you please see if you have the same issue I do at the HTCdev site?

Download this http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.5.0.0/recovery.img to your pc and place it in the same folder as fastboot.exe and the unlock_code.bin. Put the phone in fastboot mode. Open a cmd prompt in your pc and type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should now have twrp recovery installed. To get to it pull the battery, reinsert, and then hold vol down and power untill hboot comes up. Then navigate to recovery and select it. Once in recovery select wipe and then advanced and select everything except sdcard and emmc, then swipe the bar to start the wipe. We will go from there depending on what happens.

Well it looks like everything wiped ok, your partitions are probably fine. So you can just flash a rom of your choosing. Check out the dev section, there are tons of roms there including stock rooted roms if you want to keep the original feel.

Help please! Fire phone without an OS and stuck on amazon logo

Hello,
First of all, Thanks for this great community. It has been helping me with my S4 for a long time.
Almost a year ago, I bought a fire phone for my younger brother. Today I tried to install the Custom Rom CM11 (which I successfully did), but, among the files in the proper thread, are 2 more files, the Google apps and also, a "flash wipe out". I did this in the end, expecting that just cleaned everything without touching the OS. Huge and novice mistake from miself. After almost 5 hours of looking for a solution, I realized that I don't have an OS and can only enter to "Fire phone recovery mode". I have downloaded almost 5 or 6 stock firmwares that are available to donwload here in XDA. Tried to download the OTA for an unlocked phone from amazon and tried to upload it to the phone via ABD tools. In the end, I always get the same errors: Not-signed and can't install it in the phone.
I'm going to be honest: I'm desperate.
In conlcusion:
1) No OS in a fire phone.
2) No custom TWRP.
3) I just have recovery mode
4) Been trying to install through ADB tools without any success the stock OTA update (the last one, since I had the 4.6.6 version)
Anything that can help will be well received.
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Have you tried ADB sideload when you go into your phone's recovery? And if you did, what did it say when you tried installing it? Try using this to sideload your phone.
Thanks for your answer @mechasnyper but I have tried that out as well
Hey, thanks for the answer. I really appreciate the time for doing it.
Yes, I have tried the ADB Sideload. The phone it's identified through the CMD (I get to see the serial) and then try the ADB Sideload. It doesn't work with bin files. It says unable to load. I tried also with the zip files that are posted here in the forums, being able to load then at 100% but the cell phone says "invalid signature", and for this couldn't install it over the fire phone.

Try sideloading using this file. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347783512 I found this somewhere else and this is the file I used when I screwed up my ROM installation.
When I get home I'll try using that file that you have posted.
I'll update the results.

Success?
Sorry for the delay. Been talking with centurylink because since yesterday I have no Internet service (Answering from the phone). No, no success at all.

Your need free RAM on computer bigger than .bin size.
Hey, thanks for the answer.
I'm doing it on my laptop that has 8 Gb of ram. Just in case, I'm going to try it on my brother's laptop that has 16 gb of ram to test this out. But I doubt this will make a difference, since I've tried already many .bin files (all of them are unable to load an their size its 1.2 GB max. Many zip files as well where I have obtained 100% load but the firephone aborts the installation due to signature verification failure.
This is really strange. I have screwed up installing Cyanogenmod onto my phone, yet I was able to revert back to the stock ROM with just the stock recovery. I will have to look more into this. I will post again soon for updates. Have you wiped the data and cache?
EDIT: I am not sure if this will work, but try using this bin file. http://androidhost.org/o120v
@lordofra
Try (with quotes)
adb sideload "full_path_and_name_of_the_bin.bin"

Need some Help PLEASE OP5T

sooo I decided I want to go back to stock, I'm not as technically inclined as I use to be and just want a normal phone I can just easily to updates on .
Currently TWRP - I tried to sideload the .zip but adb says cannot read file (I have tried both 32bit adb and 64bit adb) doesn't seem to effect it any.
I cannot find my files in TWRP so trying to load them from there doesn't work either..... I have put the 2 files the oem stock and the recovery img on my phone but internal storage says 0mb. I was able to manipulate it to finally come up and read info off the internal storage but the files are still not there, yet when I bring up my phone on the computer the files are both there.
can anyone please help me im frustrated and have spent hours trying to fix this and im hitting brick walls......

Have you tried using the unbrick tools? They are made specifically to return your phone to stock, though it gets wiped in the process
