Okay the first question:
Ive rooted my device using Unrevoked 3.22 at my HTC Buzz (Wildfire) 1.25 (I think thats the version, its 2.1Update1). And now i maybe want to unroot my phone to install the updates (The 1.27 update doesnt install, is there a solution to this without unrooting?) So, on to the question. How to unroot my device when ive used Unrevoked 3? I rooted it on my brothers MAC OSX, becuase its much safer in my opinion.
Second question:
Okay, Now i have installed the CM 6.10 Stable version. How long will it take to boot? It has been in the boot state for 2 hours and 15 minutes for now. Ive wiped the SD Card and Cache and the Factory reset before install. It does only say HTC with a white blank screen and green letters (as normal).
Thanks for your time reading!

It took me less than 15 minutes. Obvious suggestion, but have you tried turning it off and on (pull the battery and try again).
Why did you wipe your sd card? Lol

Okay to be honest i didnt really wipe my SD card. I have tried rebooting this 2 times, and Reflashing it 3 times. It doesnt work. I tried to flash openfire 2.3 today and it works perfectly, but ive heard that the Cyanogen is much better.
howzit man.
restore your original backup with nandroid.
then .
1.) wipe cache
2.) factory reset
3.) go into advanced on clockwork recovery and wipe dalvik cache.
I had the same problem! this works
if not, redownload CM and transfer to your phone again. and go to number 1
let me know how it goes..
You should wipe your /CACHE, /DATA, /SYSTEM, /SDCARD, /SD-EXT
That way you'll be sure NOTHING will be on your phone...
After that, connect your phone with USB to pc. Mount the sdcard.
Put Cyanogenmod.zip on it. Unmount it. Reboot into recovery.
You select: under main-> clear cache, clear default settings (or something like that), under advanced -> clear Dalvik cache, clear Battery status.
Now you just flash the zip on it and everything will be just fine... trust me...
Let me know how it worked out for you. k?
Just make sure that everytime your flash a .zip to the device you give it time to
settle down in the ROM... so that means you'll need to restart after each .zip you flash.
That's what I do and I've never head any problems with it.
Greetings, Jason
@Jason
Thank you!
It worked perfectly. And i have no further questions.
It booted after 10 min, ít started to show the costum startup screen after appox. 30 sec. THANK YOU!

Phone: CDMA Hero
ROM: Freshhh2.0d
Recovery Image: 1.5.2
Well the story begins:
Last week installed Freshh2.0d rom everything worked perfect...... until I tried to screw with the lock screen (tried to install vanilla lock screen and for some reason it messed the rom soon I assign password to lock screen!!) To even realize it was the lock screen I had to reboot and flash the rom several times (maybe like 8-10!!!) then finally it started working!!!
But after the last flash, I started having force close issues with several core apps, like touch screen, google apps etc..... so this morning decided to reflash the rom one last time and see if it fixes the issues.... but I feel like I have done more than just that..... here is what I have done....
1. Re-flashed Freshhh2.0d rom, after reboot got stuck at "htc" screen that comes up after all the animations
2. I wiped or did a factory reset and flashed again..... same result
3. Wiped again and this time I wanted to download the rom again and while downloading rom, I stumbled up on new recovery image 1.6.2
4. I applied new recovery image with wiped or factory reset phone, rebooted in recovery and flashed rom
5. Again stuck under htc screen after all animations....
6. Went back to recovery image 1.5.2 and flashed rom
7. After all this the net result is still same...... stuck in htc screen....... not booting the phone!!!!
Can somebody point me to the right direction???? I am even thinking about trying a different rom and see if that comes up!!!
Ok, first go back to the 1.6.2 recovery.
Next, wipe the following:
Factory Reset
Dalvik Cache
SD: EXT (if you were using apps2sd this will nuke your apps, so be sure you have a backup).
Then reflash Fresh 2.0d (or whatever ROM you want to use).
If you still have problems I recommend doing the RUU to return it to stock and start over.
Same with me I have been trying to flash fresh 20d. On my first reboot it always gets stuck on HTC screen. I'm comming from Fresh 2.0b2. Don't know what else to try. Though I can do Nandroid and get back to Fresh2.0b2

When in doubt, always wipe before going to a new rom. When NOT in doubt, wipe anyhow.
Sure you can go to a new rom sometimes without a wipe...but 80% of the time you do much better going clean.
Also, how long have you waited on the HTC screen? I've seen that take upwards of 10 minutes.
I have waited as much as an hour. Also, I did do a Factory reset many times. I just don't know what else to try.
if none of that works. just use the right ruu for your device.

Wipe all 3 again, then reflash.
Factory
Dalvik
SD: ext
Then let us know how it goes.
Your problems are caused by apps2sd... plain and simple. Fresh 2.0d's release notes tell you that you are going to have to wipe your sd:ext (as well as data wipe). That is because there were several versions of apps2sd floating around before and they aren't all compatible.
http://geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-20d/
Secondly make sure you are using ext3 and not ext2.

Yes It worked Finally. I wiped all Three and reflashed it and waited 15 mins and it worked.
yes it worked. I wiped all 3 and worked

Great! that did the trick!!!
Flipz, there is one shortcoming with 2.0d (not sure if its something inherent to the original rom itself!) When I use my corporate email on my Hero it forces me to assign password and when I do that and lock my screen phone stops responding there after. This happens when I am using vanilla screen lock update.... I can't unlock for anything.... any idea how to fix this?
Glad to hear you're both up and running.
EARLY this morning I decided to try out a new ROM. I flashed Clockworkmod recovery and installed Fresh 2.1.1 from my SD card. Now my phone is stuck in a constant loop of trying to boot up. This same process went fine when I installed Damage Control a few weeks ago. Only thing I've done since then was partition my SD card (also done thru Clockwork app). I would really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

Wipe everything (data, dalvik, and your SD card) and reflash. Yes, I know you just partitioned that's probably the problem.
This sounds like a silly question, but would a complete wipe UNDO the partition? Or is that just a way to get the system to wipe ext?

it just wipes the ext it doesnt undo the partition
I'm in recovery mode right now. Wipe Dalvik is in advanced options. On main screen I see wipe data/factory reset. Is that the one I want?

You want both data and dalvik at a minimum. If you want to try to reflash without reformatting your card, do the following:
Boot to recovery
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik
Flash the ROM
(optional but I always do this anyway - takes 10 seconds and is extra insurance)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe dalvik
Boot
If that doesn't work, I'd recommend removing your microSD card and formatting it cleanly on your PC (fat32 format) and re-copying the ROM and attempting the above again.
Give it a go and report back.
if you're using the latest version of clockwork recovery, it's not compatible with a2sd on any rom but darch. I suggest godspeed or amon ra 1.6.2 if not running DD 2.7
Question, why would u wipe after installing the rom?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
no reason to, but most roms it won't hurt anything, as it only wipes /data and /cache, however, some roms do add apps to /data/app on flashing, and you would be removing those apps then.
Is that a Hero thing or is that in general?
I just had someone test the ClockworksMod on Darktremor Apps2SD for a Nexus One and it worked just fine.

I don't know. Clockwork mod gave me a lot of problems. Stick with amon ra based recoveries and had much fewer problems.
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
Actually, was just looking back into it, and I may be wrong on it's compatibility, but it is just in my experience that it doesn't work too well for whatever reason. I like the idea of some of the features it offers, but it never worked right on backing up and restoring for me, and I may have just assumed that was the reason. Our I may have confused it with amon ra 1.7

I use Godspeed and been really happy with it. I was just curious since I've never used ClockworksMod.

Hi
I helped my colleague to get Root via Alpharevx. No problem what so ever got clockwork recovery installed also without problems. Su installed via Clockwork rec. and finally rom Manager installed everything went smooth.
Then he did a backed up his data and installed Cyanogen latest mod RC1. Now it is stucked in a boot loop where the animations restarts over and over again. I restared in recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and data all the jazz. I reaplayed the update still the same.
I'm fresh out of ideas. What to do?

Get 4EXT Recovery from HERE. Flash it and then flash CM7.
thank you i found the thread but i donno how to flash it? do i put it on /SD and flash it via recovery "install update.zip" or do i use fast boot. i'm sorry i'm a noob i kinda need step by step instructions
i don't know which one to download. There are several files to download from there
Download the first v1.1.1 file.
Place it on your SD Card.
Boot into Recovery.
Choose 'Install Zip from SD Card' then 'Choose zip from SD Card'
Choose the 4EXT Recovery file.
After flashing that go into the 'Wipe/format' menu
First Factory Reset, then wipe cache, then wipe dalvik cache
Then go into the install zip from SD Card and install CM7
It should work.
I would also suggest flashing cm through clockwork...
It is a personal opinion...but I had errors when using Rom manager

Thank you very much for your help Cardiiiii! It worked like a charm!
I was a bit worried since i could no longer boot in any of the roms (original or CM) but i knew it can be fixed as long as i could boot in clockwork recovery.
Thank you NikonElite i'll keep that in mind. It appears Incredible S is harder to play around with that my Nexus S. Never had any problems flashing any roms.

On CM 7.0.3, if you pull down the notification bar, there was a toolbar that you could configure for toggling your data connection on/off. I believe you configure it under Settings-> CM settings
@hussainmushahid, if your data wont work, ur ****ed, same as me, you need a custom version of cyanogenmod, ask attn1 for it, he has it
the reason is the ril got changed after it got changed data wont work for vodafone nl users, and most likely your carrier as well

quick question, if you do a factory reset with odin and start from scratch, should you delete everything that is on your internal SD? Would that be a full complete wipe?
That is a FULL wipe but thats not what im talking about. Just the internal phone stuff.
what is formatted when you click to format /boot? for some reason I always thought that formatted the boot loader so I dared not touch that, but now I'm realizing how stupid it would be to even put that option there and how many more phones would have been bricked at this point. anyway when I install a new rom I pretty much wipe everything (including dalvik) except for /boot and /emmc ( I even formated the external recently but moved back images, efs backup, and avatar), then mount /sdcard, insert rom then flash, fix permissions.
formats the boot animation?
or after the VIBRANT logo
it's a ritual for me whenever i install a new rom to go through this installation method. I also notice that i tend to experience far less "bugs" then others.

Just being curious because some say it isn't cleared in the Factory Reset. Some ROM and kernel devs do suggest clearing Dalvik Cache after doing a Factory Reset because it prevents some apps giving FCs after flashing a new ROM.
Side note: I wipe dalvik about once every two weeks whether I am flashing or not. Helps with cleaning up corpses and getting better RAM usage. Thanks for the info Alan.

What you using to reinstall apps and/or app data? Everytime I install a new ROM, I lose all my data connected to an app. For example, I play Drag Racing and you have to create a new login name everytime I install a new ROM. I would like to at least save the data related to that app.

Soft brick after CM installer
Hi guys, I could really need some help here. I tried the Cyanogenmod installer and everything went fine, except my phone was stuck in
bootscreen for too long time (never booted).
In CWM recovery I did a factory reset/wipe, reboot, but to no avail; still stucked on CM bootscreen.
I then tried to flash CM11 by recovery sideloader. This goes to 100% and recovery says "Installing update", but nothing happens.
Is it supposed to install and finally reboot by itself, or should I do something?
I tried to installed zip from SD-card, but got "E:Can't mount /sdcard". I guess that means that I can't push the .zip over ADB to /sdcard
either.
What else can I try?
Edit: I wiped /data and then I could suddenly push the .zip to /data/media and the, finally flash the .zip from sdcard!
Why on earth the installer didn't wipe everything from the beginning, I don't get...
Did I miss anything obvious about the wiping thing?
A factory reset should do the trick normally. But if you ever get a message that you can't mount something you have to wipe that partition in recovery. I haven't used CWM in a long time. I prefer twrp as a recovery these days
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks, I'll remember that, should it ever happen again. What's the benefit for TWRP over CWM?
in Htc One i always had this problem.
I'm pretty sure you will never be able to mount SD
but its not a big problem since you can still sidepush the zip file.
and to be honest there is not much difference between TWRP and CWM . its a matter of preference.
On my Htc one i always used TWRP but on other android devices for some reason i sticked with CWM.
