[Q] Stuck at Clockwork Recovery screen? HELP!??!

I am currently stuck at the clockwork recovery screen. BTW i did the one click root...didnt break stock bootloader. not sure if this makes a difference or not. i was told it didnt...? i cant get back to stock firmware and i cant load zx2.1 sense i keep getting errors on both and i really have no idea what the hell to do from here. error on zx2.1 is as E:cantchown/mod/system/xbin (no such file or directory)
E:failure at line 17: set_perm_recursive 0 2000 0755 -6755 system:xbin
installation aborted

If you have stock SPL those roms will not fit ito your system partition. They need danger spl or the recent mtd partiton hack.
You can also try a donut rom without sense, they usually fit stock spl system.
€: If you want to go back to stock rom, you need the correct dreamimg.nbh for your device on your sd card and flash it via bootloader. This will obviously break root.

This is the guide I used to downgrade. Make sure you have the right image file for your phone, and make sure your battery is fully charged and the process is not interrupted.

The computer doesn't need to see the phone. Put the file on the root of the sd card, the name of the file has to be correct and is case sensitive, DREAIMG.nbh IIRC. Power down the phone, insert the sd card, press and hold the camera button while you power it on until you see the bootloader screen. The phone should see the file and take it from there.

It was already in all caps...exactly as you said it had to be. not sure what the iirc means but it still is doing the same. some people have said it could be corrupted but how the hell can it be corrupted after 5 different ones. i feel like throwing the damn thing in the furnace!

Sorry, IIRC = If I Remember Correctly.
The file name is upper case, the .nbh is lower case. To check the validity of the file you can search for and download an MD5 sum checker, but after 5 attempts I doubt that would be it. The only things I can think of is either a problem with the card, or something with the phone. Try reformatting the card making sure it's a FAT32 full format, not a quick format. Hopefully one of the Android gods around here will see this have some better ideas.

ya its jus like this DREAIMG.nbh man i did the one click root didnt break bootloader....tried to boot load the regular rom and nothing man. im done with it. its tottally effed in my opinion....ive tried everything i can think of...

You really have to make sure you got the right DREAMIMG.nbh. If you have e.g. a T-Mobile G1 get the newest for T-Mobile. Be sure to have the newest, as it is possible that older versions are not flashable either. There are lots of those images around, and if you try them at random they are quite sure not to work.
Also there might be problems if the SD-Card is not formated properly. If you have an external reader, take it out and format it on your pc. Then put the (correct) image on it.
Perhaps if you tell us the brand of your mobile, we can try to guide you to the right image.

[Q] Basic ROM required for Nexus One

Sorry for such a Noob question.
I would like to download the basic stock rom for the N1.
My wifes N1 is not working correctly & she only uses basic features on the phone so i would like to flash it with the original stock rom.
Also at the moment we cannot turn the mobile internet off either.
PLEASE HELPPPPPPP
Bart

Here is the latest stock release in all it's options:
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...build-info-and-repacks-stock-rooted-deodexed/
The bottom most link sounds like the one you're looking for.

thank you so much for that
is flashing the rom on this the same as it would be for a Hero using HTC Sync on your computer?
if not please point me to a guide
my assumption from what i can see is that with this i dont need to root the phone or anything like that, is that right?

Hi sorry guys I still really need some help here.
I have managed to download the ROM as suggested but Im so confused from reading the different tutorials on how to actually flash the phone to revert it back to the stock rom.
I have seen the below tut would you advise using this?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
however i do not know what these terms mean
adb reboot bootloader
Confirm fastboot connection fastboot devices
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
is fastboot where you hold the trackball down & then turn the device on giving you the sub menu?
sorry for the noob questions but i really need to get this phone sorted
Many thanks
Bart

There's a much simpler way to return to stock.
Download FRF91 from http://developer.htc.com
Rename to passimg.zip and copy to the root of the SD card.
Hold Vol- and power on the phone, it will find the file and ask if you wish to install. Job done.

Rusty
Thank you so much, you may save me from a divorce & a headache.
The internet truly makes the world a smaller place.
Thank you again so much sir

hi followed followed the steps & the phone doenst find the passimg.zip file when it reboots
i renamed the original zipped file to passimg.zip & put it on the sc card
also tried to extract the original file that i downloaded into another folder, renamed that to passimg.zip & put on the root of sd card.
neither method seemed to work as when i rebooted the phone with Vol - key held it didnt recognise or find the file
i just get the fastboot menu
Please help

Check it's not called passimg.zip.zip
Quite common

thanks mate i checked that
i ensured that i could see the extension before i renamed the file
so the file is def renamed passimg.zip
please confirm that i needed to just rename the downloaded zip file & not extract the file & then zip it
what else can i check please
thanks Rusty

What ROM is on her phone currently? Is it rooted? Is the bootloader unlocked? These are all important questions =)

phone is running 2.2.1 at the mo
phone is not rooted or anything unlocked, she has only received the over the air updates to the phone but done nothing else.
I think that the issues she's been having have occurded since the last update.
when she first had the phone it worked a treat
thanks for your help guys

Well in that case she *is* on a basic stock ROM. What problems are happening on her phone?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

the keyboard often would just stop responding
the internet would work and then not work
overall the phone would be working a lot slower than when she originally got it which is why I want to revert it to the stock Rom

Just factory reset it

ok I tried to do a factory reset but that's just wipes all the data right and doesn't actually reset the software version
I have done this by using the option within the phone menu and then also done this by using the clear storage option from the fastboot menu and again it only clears the phone's data and not reset the Rom to original

Again, you already have a stock ROM! It's the newest version but it's definitely stock unless you made any egregious mistakes during the upgrade or made any modifications yourself. You've said it was never rooted, hence I must conclude that it's as stock as it's going to get.

As the bloke above me says, its already as original as it's going to get!

ok guys sorry about this, its probably down to my mis communication, I want to reset the phone to firmware version 2.1 which is what it came with as it was working fine then. I thought this is what was meant by returning to original stock Rom.
apologies for the mis com
how do I reset it to original firmware 2.1

Even if you did, it will bug you to update all the time.
You need a passimg file, the original one for the N1 (ERD79) can be found on shipped-roms.com
Rename it to passimg.zip, put it on the root of the SD card and power on the phone holding Vol- it will find the file and ask if you want to update.

i downgraded to Rc29.. Now need to update to 2.2?

So im using my spare G1 phone as a backup due to my Mytouch 4g crapping out. I don't want to spend the money on a new phone yet because i heard the Galaxy S4 is suppose to come out next year. I rather save my money and get that. On the other hand my G1 is slow and sluggish at times and so i wanted to update it to make it run smooth and faster. I did some searching and came across a guy who was showing a tutorial video on how to go from 1.6 to 2.2 android. Im new to this and this is my first time actually attempting to do this.
I went ahead and downgraded whatever version my G1 was to a RC29 like how the guy instructed me to and everything installed and booted right up like how it is suppose to. Now the next step is is to get the Telnet app which i did and when i was trying to type one specific command like (....... recovery recover.img) the telnet says no such file or something. I tried it again and nothing so i dont know maybe i might have done something wrong. So now the question is.. what can i do now? MY phone works fine but i rather have it updated. My friend who does this talks about like Cupcake being what he uses on his newer phone? Where can i go from here?

If you succesfully downgraded you are on android 1.0 and of course don't want to stay there. You need a recovery image put on the root of sd card. Then you need to open keyboard and hit enter twice
Then do nothing more than open telnet and hit ok
Then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
You'll see ##
Then reboot to recovery (hold home while powering on) flash a new rom. To go further you need to update your spl and radio. Then again update to the .28 radio and .13d spl, been a while since I have done this so read a guide quick. Google search
Cyanogen wiki root dream - get you links and instructions here
And flash cyanogen4
Make sure all is working then find ezterry's guide in the developers threar called 2708+ update or something to that extent. You'll need to know how to use fastboot (well it can be done in recovery but its not as safe)
Now you can flash newer roms.
If you get stumped search, if you're still stuck feel free to ask again

I think that is what i dont have.. is that root image. When i enter to the talnetd and enter that command to do the ".... recovery.img".. it says file not found. What do i have to go do? And yes i dont want to be stuck lol.

keep trying.
i like to put a telnet icon on the home screen then i do this and only
*be on home screen with nothing open
*open keypad and hit enter key twice and type telnetd
*close keypad
*press home
*touch telnet icon
*select ok
*type, flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img (notice spaces)
*wait for ## (3seconds)
boot to recovery
========make sure you named image recovery.img (windows may hide file extensions so you may want to name it just recovery)

dang now i gotta go find that video with the commands to type in. I totally forgot which one lol. let me seee

No need for a video
Google search cyanogen wiki root dream
Its all spelled out nicely

So i found that wiki page... still having that same problem. I installed and updated and rebooted the phone to the RC29. Now after downloading the "Amon_Ra's Recovery" file it says to rename the file to "recovery.img" and to copy to the sd card. So im guessing that is the K drive that i ahve the phone showing up as right? I did that and then open up telnet to type in the command "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img".. then it says "No such file or directory". So maybe i didnt send the recovery file to where it needs to go?

Ok i downloaded the fiel viewer and i see what i did wrong... when i renamed the file to "Recovery.img" the file on the sd card reads "recovery.img.img" lol Let me see if i can go thru it again using that file name. If not then i will have to do everything all over again.

Soooo i downloaded the Telnet and typed in the command "recover.img.img" and it worked. The (2) # signs showed up so now the Amon_Ra' file is installed. Now the next step for me to do is "Flashing the Radio"?

Yeah windows can hide file extensions some times.
Follow the radio update in the wiki
Then the spl update
Then flash cm5
Play around and then we can work on further upgrades to get newer roms working well

Ok i updated the Radio now and i went to check and see what i have DangerSPL.. my phone says in boot mode
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.23.02
..... now what do i do next?
Oh so i went ahead and DL the DangerSPL... installed it.. updated it... now im running on 2.2 i guess. I was trying to get the CyanogenMod6 but the wiki links are down... so i searched and stumbled onto this site
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-6-android-2-2-froyo-on-htc-dream-g1/
which had the DL link to Mod6 and the google apps.
So now the phone is rooted and ready to go furthere?

Make sure you have a fully functioning os, see what it is like, find a rom called super e or super d and see if you like those.
You can upgrade further if you feel it necessary.
To do so find ezterrys 2708+ thread and install new radio and spl via fastboot
All links will be found in the xda developers thread within the first couple pages
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2

Ok i will try that out. Are those one of the nicer programs to go with? Also will it have the google play market? Because i know the andriod market sucks ass and it doesnt have anything on there at all.

Yeah you have to be at least at froyo or possibly gingerbread for the play market.

Update... So in the end i ended up going with the Cyanogemod 6 only because it was easier to follow the steps. This is my first time ever doing this to a phone lol. Again i would like to thank you for your time and helping me out. Sooner or later ill probably update with a different rom and overall i learned how to flash and root phones lol. Thanks again!

Right on, cm5 is faster on our phones especially if you haven't upgraded to the .13d hboot yet. But congrats, play around and enjoy! Make sure to make a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing something else so you can quickly revert back
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Oh i didnt know that lol i just assumed the cm6 was good only because it was a higher number. Yes i will for sure back it up and all. Thanks!

Stumped on OTA 1.54.651.10

I'm S-Off and on stock Rom w/ root & Capt's TWRP. I have attached screen shots of all pertinent information.
I have experienced the network connectivity issues that this update supposedly addresses. I don't want or need a full rom. I'm looking for the bare minimum that will help with the "network connectivity/voice & data"
Someone please advise what's the best way to do this?

If you're S-OFF already, just flash the firmware. Click the radio number in my sig and it'll take you to the thread. That won't get rid of the OTA notification, though.

Since you're not using recovery to flash it, it doesn't matter what recovery you have.

So what you're actually saying is you didn't follow the instructions? The instructions say external for a reason (the internal "sdcard" isn't a removable SD card - it's emulated storage symlinked to the /sdcard folder). Looks like you'll have to either get a card or use the other method.

If you want to apply OTA as htc intended (from a stock ROM), you have to flash stock recovery, replace any factory apps you've deleted/frozen, ensure you have unmodded build.prop & default.xml. then you will be able to apply OTA through system updates as regular. make backup of any files/apps that you want to replace factory after OTA. its good to have a full backup anyway
This worked for me anyway
/system/build.prop
/system/customize/ACC/default.xml
If you do a full Titanium backup, you can also just flash A 1.54.651.10 Stock Rooted ROM, and then restore from backup
If you don't have an ext_sd, make sure to copy any backups/files to your PC for redundancy*

dude, I flashed the ota a million ways and my connectivity issues persist. I caved in, restored to full stock, got the insurance from sprint (it's open enrollment this month) and turned in my phone for repair. they got stumped on the issues too and ordered me a brand new one no charge. once it comes in I can remove the insurance from my account if I feel like it

[HELP THREAD] HTC One M8S - Back to Stock - HOWTO

HOW TO get your HTC One M8S back to Factory / stock.
Attention 1: This is NOT for the regular HTC One M8.
Attention 2: This is for the HTC One M8S also known as the M8_QL_UL
(The One M8S does not have a separate subforum on XDA.)
Hi everyone! I saw that many people who have a HTC One M8S have problems with restoring the stock HTC RUU. It is a little bit difficult. So here I'll supply you again with steps that worked for me.
Most of this is a copy from a post I made earlier. But I saw that many of you still have some problems. So here is a dedicated thread.
I have used this method multiple times to restore my phone back to factory defaults. I hope it works for you too!
Warning. You will lose your settings. Everything will be reset to the defaults.
Read these important notes before you begin!
When you need fastboot: only HTC's own fastboot program will work. You will use fastboot, for example, when you want to flash a custom recovery.
Other fastboot applications will not work correctly in my experience! So be sure you use HTC's.
If you need it: HTC will send you a link when you unlock your bootloader. But you can also find fastboot via the same page as where you can find the RUUs.... see below.
Do you have an SDCard ready? You must have one to get this to work and it must be big enough. ADB sideload will NOT work!
Is your phone relocked? It must be! If not, relock it, then come back.
Most of the problems happen because people read too fast. This stuff just takes a long time.. so don't do it if you are in a hurry. And do read carefully.
Are you ready? Ok! Here we go.
Download the RUU zip you want to use. I have used ...HTC_Europe_1.16... BUT later I found this did not allow the newest OTA update (as of august 30th, 2015). Maybe I will test 1.11 some day later.
However, I think that 1.11 is the right version. Not sure where to download the RUU or fastboot? Click the button.
For me, I downloaded the RUU zip via the generous hosting by @El-Conkistador. You can find it via his post here. On his page there is a directory called Firmware (Expert). In there is a directory called Firmware Crypted (Original HTC). In that directory are multiple directories containing RUUs. Choose one for your device, download it, then come back here.
Open your sdcard. It must be fat32 or exFAT formatted.
Copy the RUU zip file onto the root of the sdcard. Do NOT extract it. Just copy it.
You must now rename it to: 0PKVIMG.zip. The first character is the number 0 (zero), not the letter O!
If you know how to do this, take the md5sum from the RUU zip on your computer, and 0PKVIMG.zip on your SDcard. They must be the same! If not, there can be a problem with your SDCard.
Safely unload and remove the SDCard from your computer.
Power off your phone.
Are you sure you want to continue? Then insert the SDCard into the phone..
Take a deep breath..
Boot the phone to the bootloader: hold Volume Down. Press the power button. Release both buttons when you are inside the bootloader.
When you are in the bootloader, press power once to enter fastboot mode.
The restoration process should will now start. Confirm on the screen when it's asked. Then wait patiently, it takes a long time!
Nice detail: there is a small sidebar at the top right side of the screen that will show you progress. Sometimes it will go back to 0; it will fill up more than once.
In case of failure
In my case it failed the first time. Probably because a sector on my SDCard was faulty. I found out by verifying the md5sum of the file on the sdcard, it was not the same as the RUU zip on my computer, but it has to be.
To fix it, I copied the RUU zip to the sdcard for the second time, *then* deleted 0PKVIMG.img, and *then* renamed the RUU zip to 0PKVIMG.zip. Then I looked at the md5sum again. Now it was the same as on my computer... and then the restoration worked.
Still need help?
If you have questions, ask and wait patiently. I am not on this page 24/7, no one is. Just don't panic. Don't demand help. Maybe read this stuff again and see if you made a mistake somewhere.
It is logical that you are annoyed if this stuff doesn't go how you want, sure, it is not the easiest thing to do. I have tried to make it easier, but again, if it still fails, just ask your questions and wait patiently. Treat others like how you want to be treated yourself. :angel:
Good luck!

The exact filename of the RUU I used:

Do you see a few green lines that say "searching for 0pkvimg.zip" when you go to hboot? They disappear pretty quickly.

Is it a fat32 or exfat sdcard? Is the md5sum for 0pkvimg.zip correct? It should be 70eece34781f0b1449f98f03e842f249

i checked and it is fat32 and i still don't get where the md5sum is located and where i should put it .-.

the md5sum is a long string of characters called a checksum. It scans a file and calculates what number it should get. Other types of checksums are SHA-1, SHA-256, RIPE-MD160 and so on.
MD5 is fairly lightweight so that's why we usually choose md5 for files.
md5sum itself is a program that you can run from the command line. If you use linux, it should be on your computer already, so just do 'md5sum 0pkvimg.zip'. On windows, well, you need md5sum.exe and run that from a command line. But I have not used Windows in so many years that I don't know where to find md5sum.exe. I'm sure you can find it easily... I would google for this, but you can do that too so I'll leave that part up to you.
So: you don't put the md5sum anywhere.. you calculate an md5sum and compare it with the number I gave you previously. Hope this makes sense, keep asking if you need more help.

Hi guys,
Im new to all this I just want to ask for little help here my m8s has unlocked bootloader and modified (unofficial) software (says in bootloader)
Im running 5.0.2 soft ver
Soft number 1.16.401.10
Custom recovery TWRP
Phone is rooted but i need to send it back to htc as its dropping calls randomly within 25secs. All i need is the right ruu so its stock again and says relocked (i know how to relock) official soft and that OTAs would work.
Also do i leave this custom recovery there or before the ruu will i put in the stock one, relock the BL and then the ruu?
Any help is much appreciated.

Just relock. The Ruu does the rest! I used 1.11, the exact filename is in my OP. If you have a vendor phone I'm not sure but I think you can still use the same RUU as I have; if not, you will be notified from hboot. Does that answer your question?

Yes thank you.

Tried on windows twice then got a blue screen (on the pc) did the 1.11 on my macbook and phone is now back to official and relocked!
I owe you a pint of beer sir. Thank you!

Great! Glad to hear.

Cyanogenmod is still in the works. I have finally gotten a preliminary version to boot, so to those of you who are interested, head over to the CyanogenMod 12 on M8s thread...
HTC One M8S: Cyanogenmod 12 Discussion

...inside the zip file there is no 0PKVIMG.img file so dont realy know what to rename . . .
...yes checked md5 sum and they are OK
...sd card is fat32 (tried copying zip file from two different laptops , no difference)
...Custom recovery TWRP

Hiya. Ugh I get how frustrating this can be!! But you're close, so we'll get you sorted out. FYI on saturday and sunday I'm not around much (family comes first ), so replies might take me a while... but we'll figure it out.
You need this exact file:
Code:
0PKVIM[email protected]50311_15.00_016_F_release_430101_signed.zip
Copy that to the sdcard and rename it to 0PVKIMG.zip, don't extract it just rename it. The md5sum should be:
Code:
70eece34781f0b1449f98f03e842f249
If that won't work, we need to figure out why. That comes next. :good:

You should use Cyanogenmod, not Pandora. Pandora is old, is not updated, and contains a very problematic security issue with libstagefright. Use cyanogenmod for your own good!
