You can just boot into recovery and install any zip you like now, including an updated recovery.

Hi Guys,
A friend of mine got a IncS with Hboot 2.00.000. I know how to install recovery by using the adb and fastboot. But is it necessary to S-off your phone? The phone is bootloader unlocked by htcdev. Is there any rom sense rom with beats audio where i don't need an S-off?
Many thanks to you!
I think you can flash the ROM's with S-ON, but you'll have to flash the boot.img manually trough fastboot.
Okay that's no problem for me.
For the one's who don't understand the question, you need to extract the rom after flashing and flash the boot.img in fastboot. You need the Android SDK Kit
Open CMD and go to your folder where you got the sdk it installed and enter then the following command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Manually flash the boot.img from the ROM using fastboot.
I think it needs a sticky that you can perfectly flash a custom rooted ROM with S-ON.
Oh, and also a sticky that you have to put the back cover on to get a good signal.
Mine is s-on, and running virtuous affinity rom with sense 3.5, as above, need to flash boot img through fastboot. Took a while to remember this when I flashed the quattro rom :banghead:
Hi Guys,
My heads sorta spinning from information overload so I'm hoping one of you guys can help me. I have a Incredible S and I used this guide to downgrade my HBOOT and get my S-OFF using revolutionary and flash clockwork, which I did successfully. I then decided to install this ROM which requires Blackrose. So I installed blackrose beta sucessfully overwriting the revolutionary HBOOT. This is where it all starts to go wrong. I then set about doing a full wipe and tried to install the ROM using Clockwork and the installation completed sucessfully. But when I try to boot up my phone I get stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen. I also restored a backup I took with Clockwork with the same results; stuck at the boot screen. I tried following the steps in the thread of the ROM (listed below) with no avail.
Here are some steps you can try if the ROM hangs on the HTC splash screen
1. Download the file lib.zip from here: http://bit.ly/PwK4BH (MD5 SUM: 83dd68b32d39c994b3069d8813b3c3ea)
2. Unzip the lib.img and place it on your PC where you have fastboot.exe installed.
3. Boot into FASTBOOT USB mode and then enter the following command:
fastboot flash lib lib.img
4. Wipe Data/System Reset.
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache.
6. Then reinstall vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36_8.zip
Do any of you guys have any suggestions or know whats wrong? Even if I can get back to the latest stock ROM while preserving my root I would be happy.
Thanks Guys!!!
BTW i would have posted in the rom thread on I dont have enough posts :crying:
No need blackrose on this rom. Just flash and install rom if you S-On flash boot.img manual via adb flash.
Before, i ve used that rom & back to my prev rom like Stock and Nik Rom.

It says in the ROM thread "This ROM requires that you upgrade Revolutionary HBOOT 6.13.to BlackRose 2.02.0002 because of space issues with the ICS /system partition."

What version of HBOOT does your phone now show?
Did the flashing of thr lib.img in FASTBOOT USB mode show any errors?
What is the exact file name of the vivo_signed_WWE_4.10.405.1_ICS_SENSE36 rom?
Which version of ClockworkMod are you using?
Things have went from bad to worse. I uninstalled blackrose now I'm back to revolutionary hboot 1.13.0000. But now I cannot boot at all or even get to the white htc screen. I am stuck in bootloader and have lost recovery. Thereby my phone will not charge enough to accept a RRU. I tried to reflash recovery by fastboot but I keep getting a Remote:signature verify fail error Have I bricked my phone? :crying::crying::crying:

The only option you have at this point is to flash an official PG32IMG.zip file extracted from a RUU and copy it to your SD card. Then when you boot into bootloader it will find the file, flash it and that should get you going.
It sound like you need to use the 2.30.405.1 RUU from here:

DUDE! This is no lie. You are a legend!!! That worked. I had myself prepared for buying a new phone!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH
I am trying to get rid of the CM7.1 on my Incredible S. I have fastboot on my Ubuntu machine and all the android libraries necessary. I tried a lot of commands from fastboot a couple of days ago but nothing happened. Miui got stuck on boot screen, CM7.2 also did the same. I want to wipe my phone. Delete everything. I am sick of the CM7.1 it is old.
My bootloader says this:
***UNLOCKED***
VIVO .. S-ON
HBOOT-2.00.0000
RADIO-3822.10.08.28_M
I want a step by step way to wipe my phone and install the STOCK ROM (but keeping my root), and using Ubuntu. I have been through dozens of tutorials, my phone wont wipe.
OFFICIAL ROMS:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/e45d6fe3dcf51228/
question: which one do I download (which one is the latest) and why do they have 100mb + difference? thanks a lot!
I need your help before I smash the phone on the wall
Since you're s-on still and unlocked, have you flashed the boot.img from the roms are flashed? Its required after a new rom/kernel flash in order to get the rom booting.
Why do I have to flash the boot.img? I download the *.zip file and flash the whole zip file using ROM manager. That should be enough

With s on you still have to fast boot flash boot.img to get the phone booting
Search how to do it, you probably did it when you flashed CM7

With the unlocked bootloader, the boot partition only gets mounted as ReadOnly when in Recovery mode, thus when you flash a ROM in recovery mode, the boot.img file does not get written to your phone.
You manually have to flash the boot.img while in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:
fastboot flash boot [boot.img file]
Also, you stated that you want to install a stock ROM but keep your root. Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. In order to flash an official HTC stock RUU, you must relock your bootloader. If you attempt to flash a RUU on an unlocked bootloader, you will get a 155 error.
2. Depending on which stock RUU you choose to flash, that particular bootloader may or may not be unlockable.
In the Development section there are several IncS stock, rooted ROMs that were built from official RUUs. I would recommend you give those a try. You may also want to look at mike1986's ARHD ROM which is based on the IncS ICS ROM.
Can someone please help with this ?
I'm want to flash the stock recovery in order to receive the 4.2.2 OTA update (currently I have the stock 4.1.2 + root + TWRP + S-OFF)
Can someone guide me please, what stock recovery do I need to flash and where should I grab it from ?
I've found only this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158763
Not sure if is the right recovery but the download link from there is broken
Any idea if I need to be S-OFF or ON in order to receive the OTA ?
That's old thread. Run either a ruu or Mike's stock. Be sure u have stock recovery as well.

where can I have the stock recovery ? (I can't find it)
- Ok after a lot of digging around I've found a stockrecovery.img file , so I've flashed that like this: fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
- the spooky part after doing this was that I was unable to enter into recovery anymore , the screen alway remained in Entering Recovery and that was it ... maybe someone explain why ?
- then I've locked the bootloader like this: fastboot oem lock
- then I've installed a RUU for Europe (also found out here after diggin around) which actually downgraded my firmware to an older version
- after downgrade I've received an OTA update to a newer firmware - did that
- then after I've received the 4.2.2 OTA update , finaly
- then I've performed a bootloader unlock
- then I've flashed a TWRP recovery image in order to root the device
Now here comes the issue, after flashing the TWRP recovery image, while entering into the TWRP recovery I'm not able to click on any menu , is like the touch screen does not take any input so I'm unable to install the SU binaries
Has anyone encountered this issue ?
How did you root your stock 4.2.2 device ?
Reflashed the CWM recovery (instead of TWRP) as somebody recommend it and it worked - now I have root, too.

Hi there,
i have the exact same problem, the screen wont register touches. How do i reflash CMW? im a noob
You are going to flash it in the same manner you did with the TWRP.
You put your phone into fastboot then issue a command like :
fastboot flash recovery cwm_image_name
You should search for a cwm recovery image file.
And you need to have the bootloader unlocked
After update to 4.2.2 TWRP wont recocnize touch due to the driver update.
Here is a modified version of TWRP where touch work with 4.2.2 OTA
Download and rename it to howdoyouwant.img then
fastboot flash recovery howdoyouwant.img
fastboot erase cache
There are probably a ton of threads asking the same thing but I need help...lol
I have Sprint HTC ONE M7 (m7wls)

I tried to flash the zip of the stock rom i found here on xda but i got zip signature verification FAILED...Help
First of all, you might consider using TWRP instead of Clockwork Mod to flash the zip. I've had more luck with TWRP on my One.
Personally, anytime I want to run stock rooted (which is most of the time honestly), I use it as an excuse to do the ultimate cleanup of my phone by running the RUU. I've written a guide on how to do that if you need the help. The guide will get you back to completely stock unrooted. At that point, you will need to reunlock using the HTC site (since you are s-on), flash a custom recovery (the latest TWRP works fine for me) and then use TWRP to flash the SuperSU zip. At that point, you'll be stock rooted.
