Hi everybody,
After unlucky rooting process I've got problem with installing new rom with traditional way. Then I found thread about booting from sdcard having recovery access at my disposal only. This is great idea to have phone working again, but unfortunately it is pain to live without all google apps installed. I tried to install this packages from WIKI (gapps...) but this didn't work.
Desire Z is visible as rooted but unlocked (by HTCDEV tool) and with S-ON. Any ROM update I do goes fine up to the final phone restart. The only white screen with original HTC is lighting without any further change.
I do appreciate if any volunteer could give me a bit of support to get my phone working back.
[I've got my phone back with all functionality by booting ROM - _WWE-2.42.405.2-signed.zip. This fixed my problem and now I can work to make phone as S-OFF]
you need to be S-OFF at first. then you can flash roms.
There are many many tutorials how to get S-OFF.
Best and good luck,
Blubberor
Hello All,
Due to my endless frustrations, this might be a long one so please bear with me!
So I purchased a Verizon Global HTC ONE M7 from the States, I am currently in Nigeria and the only thing that makes me sadder and more frustrated than the state of my phone right now is the incessant terror attacks in the country! Initially, almost everything worked fine when i popped in my new Etisalat sim card into the phone, except for the mobile hotspot (which just conveniently turns out to be the one of the top 3 most important features in a phone for me - probably the feature I use the most) this message kept popping up about how hotspot couldn't be used without a VZW sim, etc (also with the non-verizon sim warning when the phone boots up). I tried all I could, eventually deciding to flash a new ROM to clear out everything Verizon and start fresh.
Enter Viperone 6.2.0 - everything worked initially, but after a few weeks i noticed if I did anything like watch a youtube video or download something over a few MBs 90% of the time the data drops (no visible signs like changes from E to H or 3g or the likes, everything looks the same, just that the data stops), toggle mobile data on/off and data connection is back. It worsened and became more frequent over time. Upgraded to Viperone 6.2.1, no difference, so i figured its probably the viperone rom.
Enter Cyanogenmod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-oneplus-one-stock-rom-cm11s-verizon-t2857425 - and its the same exact issue from the beginning, so im guessing its not to do with the ROM at all (though there are one or two niggling issues with the ROM - cant change BBM display pic, etc)?! I've really tried to comb through the forum and see what makes sense that i could try without bugging y'all - I did a factory reset, wiped everything completely and its the same thing.
I've seen suggestions to similar issues like: flash stock recovery, update radio/firmware/kernel, flash back to custom recovery and some other things which are beginning to sound quite dangerous in my ignorance!! I did believe updating the firmware made sense but after digging deeper, i must honestly say i'm quite confused on what to do. what radio/firmware/kernel works with what software version, etc- most firmware that i've seen are 4.4.3 compatible, while this ROM is 4.4.4., some of them seem to be for stock ROMs only and a lot of other confusions.
So, I'm not gonna be a hero and brick my phone from trying to do what i do not understand, instead here i am, hat in hand, crying out for help after suffering for 3 months! Its really frustrating as, downloads break causing me to lose data, skype or MSLync calls always break and im beginning to look unprofessional to people! This is why I have decided to put up a post of my own specific to my case so i don't medicate for someone else's ailments. So please........ WHAT EXACTLY DO I DO??
PHONE DETAILS (typing it out as i've just realized on this ROM i can't take screenshots with Power+Home button combo anymore and can't be bothered at this point!!!)
ANDROID VERSION: 4.4.4
BASEBAND VERSION: 1.12.41.1112_2

Have you tried a stock version of sense? Essentially what our phone was meant to run. Viper uses a lot of custom tweaks for the masses, and sometimes carrier specifics get finicky. I would suggest santods stock Rom, bonestock, or ecliptic. I think nusense uses an international base and not strictly vzw, but you could also try that one...and santod can clarify about the details.
Hope you get it going.

Can you flash stock recovery from Santod's firmware thread and do a factory reset? It could be a corrupt nv partition which would only be fixed by doing a factory reset via stock recovery. (If you must, make a nandroid of system and data in your recovery of choice so you can restore your data if you wish).

So.. i found time to get to this and decided to go with your suggestion of Santod's stock rom... and now, i think i've done the unthinkable!! After WIPING EVERYTHING "All partitions except SD!" as the instructions stated... i attempted to reboot into bootloader and got a message saying "no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot"... that scared me a bit, but i thought surely, it must be part of the process! I proceed to reboot to bootloader to flash the firmware and i cant seem to do anything!!
Fastboot is stuck on " waiting for device" for everything i try.
Also, i rebooted back into recovery and attempted to install the stock rom: i get the error message "unable to open zip file"..
Have i destroyed my phone with my own hands, people? :crying:

FALSE ALARM FOLKS!!! I decided to attempt flashing the CM11 rom i just uninstalled and it worked. Turns out its a known issue with the .zip file for that rom - i am now re-downloading from another mirror. Meanwhile the Fastboot thing was just a driver issue - though i'm surprised because i had all the drivers installed on the system and have used fastboot successfully - anyway i reinstalled the drivers and all was well with fastboot again.
NB: Don't get tired of me just yet please!

hello!
Thanks for your ideas guys. I'm currently running Santod's stock rom (which is brilliant, i must say, i actually wanna stay on this rom) since friday - thought i'd give it the whole weekend and see how it goes.. BUT! i still get thoseconnection drops.. and frequently too.
Any other ideas on what the issue could be?

If doing factory reset from stock recovery doesn't fix it, it is most likely a burned SIM. It has happened to me. (Average 150+ GB a month in data, so I burn em easily)

Uz has it right, you need to flash a stock recovery and THEN do a factory reset, then reload your custom recovery and rom. I had the exact same issue before. Or you could flash an ruu file which would reset the partitions also.

Hey folks, apologies for the touch and go nature of this thread - i just don't have a lot of free time on my hands and other reasons..
Anyhow, i think I want to try out ur suggestion of flashing an RUU - I noticed that im unable to actually enter recovery after flashing stock recovery from Santod's thread (i flashed the latest three recoveries). I can get to bootloader, but when i select recovery, the phone goes black for a few seconds and then i get the RED TRIANGLE WITH THE EXCLAMATION MARK INSIDE, obviously something's wrong, few seconds later the phone reboots itself into normal mode. I did do a factory reset from bootloader, but issue persists.
So now to the RUU flashing issue - could you suggest one for me to flash?
By the way though, isn't flashing an ruu gonna take me back to stock completely (as in back to S-ON, ETC..)?
Thanks a whole bunch - IM DETERMINED TO GET THIS TO WORK!!!

That is in fact stock recovery man. When you get the triangle press volume up and power at the same time. You will enter stock recovery.
Any of my ruu will run fine. You won't lose s-off or unlocked status. You flash them in boot loader fastboot mode.

HA! and now i feel :silly: !!
Bless your soul! i'll give it a go shortly...
Hello all - I've been working for a few weeks (off and on) trying to get my old Incredible 2 in a working order to use as a wifi media device. To get he newer apps I needed to upgrade to at least ICS. I went through htcdev to be able to flash roms and then decided to downgrade and try to get to s-off - at which point I discovered revolutionary was down....I've since been able to get back to the htcdev unlocked bootloader process so I'm s-on with hboot .98. I'm using TWRP 2.6.3. I've tried three different roms - two cm10.2 and one cm11 and while they flash I'm not able to get past the boot screen (past the HTC one). I've done wipes before each flash and I've flashed the correct boot.img each time. I've tried each one of them at least twice to no avail. Is there any other settings or things to try??
My ultimate problem is that I was able to get to Android 4.2.2 but the app that I need to play my music from the cloud is Microsoft Groove which due to a recent change is no longer working with 4.2.2 (kind of like the perfect timing I had with revolutionary being down) - so I'm trying to get to something higher than that...Any other ROM ideas might help too???
Thanks. I've learned so much following this forum over the last few weeks - I just can't seem to get past this one by myself.....
Well thankfully I was able to solve my own problem...Figure I'd update here in case anyone else comes across the same issues. I basically did not have the best TWRP version installed - you need to have TWRP 2.7.0.0 installed. Once I installed that recovery I was able to flash each and every rom and the phone is starting up fine (after also flashing the correct boot.img file). We'll now see if I can get past the app issue itself that I was having but I'm definitely past the boot screen issue.
To whom may help me solve the issues I am facing,
My phone is stuck on the 'Setup wizard has stopped working' and I am not able to flash the original stock rom. Looking up the Setup wizard problem, I came across many posts but none helped. I suspect that the system files of my phone are corrupt. I can't exactly explain why, but it happened. I was trying to uninstall an app (apex launcher) which I had converted to system app. In the end, I had to do a factory reset through recovery.
On booting, I was shown the previously mentioned message and I can't go past it. I can't slide down the notifications nor click any of the soft keys. I tried every solutions posted by other users. This makes me suspect that the system files has become corrupt, and thus the Settings app cannot be opened.
I am new to flashing. I tried to flash the stock rom (RUU - 2gb zip) I found for my a55ml DTUL Europe J15, but it doesn't work. Maybe I need the recovery.img file for it to work? I need some guidance on this one. Can someone send me this recovery.img file?
My phone is rooted (kingroot), bootloader locked, S-ON. And, I can't detect it on ADB. Note: the phone is NOT on bootloop, and boots properly until the 'Setup wizard has stopped working'. I left the phone for flashing at a repair shop, but they tell me they are still trying.
And so, I seek help from anyone who can help me or point me towards someone else who can.
Hi everyone, I want to start out by saying that I'm a noob, I tried to find all the necessary information on xda but I've still got some doubts to clear out.
Just the other day I was able to fix the bootloop problem following one of the site's tutorials. I rooted the phone and used 4CoresOreo.img, because the suggested image didn't seem to work, and added TWRP.
Now that my phone is working properly, but unable to get android updates (because it would put it at bootloop risk, right? ) what should I do, should I download new patches/images periodically? And if so, how do I know which ones are the right ones (as I've got 4CoresOreo now while the other img didn't work)
