Today is the day, when i was ready to take the plunge into updating my rom to Evaluation 2. I wanted to upgrade my stock rom and see how my HTC would be like.
Now after some research, i found the installation package specifically for VIVA and instruction were quite simple. i.e. copy paste the .nbh file into the installation package folder and click on the update utility. (I downloaded the installation package 7. zip for this )
Well i thought it would be as simple as people have wrote but things didn't go out as planned. As soon as i did the above process and clicked the update utility. My phone started to go into the bootloader mode i could see the progress bar till 3% update... Than suddenly the phone LCD would switch off and the update utility informed me the the rom is corrupted... I thought i might have had the bad rom.. Let me download some thing else.. I downloaded 6.5 Rom from other source still the same issue.. Rom corrupted...
Am i doing something wrong.. Please help.
Did you install Hard-SPL? This little software unlocks your device to install custom ROMs.
Find more info, and download instructions here:

After you install this, try to install your ROM and it should work well.
Good luck..

Is it possible that someone creates a exe file for a new rom install like the official rom install has? I tried to get it done with hardspl but i only got errors en install didn't work. Guess it's not my cup of tea. If someone could make this i would be verry greatfull. Rom should be light.

if you don't flash HSPL on your phone, you can't also flash the modifided rom with a .exe file. The .exe file is only compressed. the whole flashing is also going by the original HTC rom with ruu
The flashing process is no harder than running an exe once Hard SPL is flashed.
Take your time to go through this tutorial and it should all come together : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406

My G! is rooted. I download the ROM and the proper radio. I go into recovery mode after copying the build to the root of my SD card. I wipe all data and than try and flash my build(Alt+S)(update.zip or update with vista), and it always tells me how many files are in the folder and "No Signature" installation aborted. The only rom it accepts no problem is the one that brings me back to 1.5 or donut so that I can get back to 1.6 or cupcake. I use the DREIMG.nbh and Telnet + telnetd from the home screen to root and bring me down to 1.0 . I've tried a number of roms but it never works. What could I be doing wrong. I always follow the direction on all the sites plus what i know. HELP ME!!!!!!!!! I need change!

if you don't have a recovery you can't flash a rom... :facepalm: make sure you do the complete tutorial, you have to have the radio and spl for it to stick

Task 29 does not install stock spl by itself
don't start flashing roms until you've read and fully understood all guides...?!
SE update doesn't work with hard-spl installed - which you still have. task29 doesn't change that.
you need to download your stockrom from here and flash it via usb or microsd.
after that's done, you can decide if you want to keep hard-spl or if you want to restore stock-spl, which is needed to use SEUS. (but since you already have stockrom, why bother?)
how to restore stock-spl is explained in the hard-spl thread, end of post #1. follow the instructions there closely, or you will brick your phone! flashing spl requires a special .exe, don't use the one from task29, a custom-rom or whatever!
Hello! Please help me!

Hey i was reading up about rooting for 2 weeks before i plunged in and took the step. Let's say on your first try, don't do anything that needs you to change radio etc.
Just use the superoneclick method to root it, then download rom manager (free from android market) and install clockworkmod recovery. This should be easy, as from rom manager all you need to do is click flash clockworkmod recovery, and it will do it for you.
Next find the rom you want, and download 3 files. One is the rom itself, the other is a kernel (example ezterry's) and finally gapps and put them on your sd card. Next reboot into recovery.
First you'll want to create a backup, go to backup and restore click backup, and let it do it's thing. Once it says backup complete, you'll need to wipe cache, and wipe date/factory reset.
Once you've done that, do install zip from sd card, and install the files in this order:
ROM first: (find where you put the zip file on your sd, and select it)
Then do install zip from sd card again & select the Kernel (if you need to flash a seperate kernel)
Then finally do install zip from sd card again and select the gapps, zip (this is basically the android market, and a few other google apps).
Next press reboot into recovery, and it should load into your new rom, if all has been done correctly. I just recently rooted and put a custom rom on my phone, and this is the way i did it, so it should work for you. Make sure you research rooting and flashing roms onto your phone, before you take the plunge though.
Dear XDA community,
Currently I have a Huawei P9 with Magic Rainbow 3 ROM installed. I am really unhappy with it since my phone has slowed down and my battery is draining too fast (20% or more in 1 hour while just listening to Spotify).
I relise that I will lose root and all my files, but I wish to revert back to fresh official Huawei version of Android as if it came out of the box.
My problem is that I tried to do that a while back (and when I failed I had to download the Magic Rainbow 3 ROM) but every time I installed the official version, my phone would be missing all the Huawei apps, the camera app and bluetooth wouldn't turn on and just felt like a crippled version of Android.
If anyone would be willing to guide me through the process of reverting I would be really grateful.

There are clean and easy instructiobs (and in the Magic Rainbow thread itself!) how to properly flash back to stock ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
However, your problem should not be in the Magic Rainbow (an excellent ROM, saving the battery) but in the latest Google Play Services update, see in this thread (not just this post but alao tge earlier ones)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76549662&postcount=33
Besides, there is a newer MR v4 - see the thread behind the first link. Installation instructions are in its post #1

Thank you for your reply. I'm puzzled as to which firmware I should use. I can only see I'm EVA-L09 and on MagicRainbow. I also don't remember on which firmware I was before going to a custom ROM. Is there any help for me?
I'm very sorry for bothering, but I'm a noob and shouldn't have messed with the phone.

Yes, you need to know which stock ROM cust and build you had before, to flash the same by HWOTA.
I think I saw instructions about a hidden file you can read it from, you need root to access the file (MR is prerooted), but I don't remember where it was - you can ask in MR thread
Btw, you can also upgrade from MR v3 to v4

I guess my best bet would be upgrading to MRv4 and hope it changed enough so my battery and performance get better (maybe a factory reset will also help). Also, I've tried searching for MRv4 on XDA forums, but can't seem to find the thread. Could you please link me to the site with instructions for upgrading to MRv4?

One last question. I just want to inform You that I have succesfully reverted back to official firmware. But it now says I have an update b399 and when I download it and try to install it I get the error: "Software install failed. Failed to apply the differential update file. Please download a package in erecovery mode." But even when I try to download in eRecovery I get the error that it can't download the package.

You can again use HWOTA and upgrade to b399 and after that even to b502
Of course, for HWOTA you will have to install TWRP again (and unlock Bootloader if it was locked now)
---
You have 'reverted' to b394 but that probably wasn't the proper build you had before installing MR v3....
You can do Settings, Advabced Settings, Backup and Reset, Factory reset with internal memory (it can be also Factory reset with Internal memory from eRecovery).
Then, when you receive notification for OTA b399, find in that OTA updating screen (I don't know now how exactly it looks because Iam on MR v4 but I was doing that previously) the option to download and OTA upgrade with Full package, not with default Differential package
