Im AlphaRev S-off and running a gingebread orginial shipped rom from HTC, recieved a OTA update and installed it.. the phone rebooted and now im stuck at the white HTC screen, when i try to enter recovery section in bootloader it just skips back to the white HTC screen, tried to load an signed_RUU onto the mem card and install calling it PG32IMG without luck..
What to do ?
Can you connect to the phone via fastboot or adb?
Wait at least five minutes on the htc boot screen, sometimes the rom is busy working during this boot up time.

Well...u r in problem
U can fix that easy...
1. Download 2.3.3 RUU
2. Downgrade from AlphaRev hboot to official *HOW TO GET BACK ON S-ON* http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555
3.Install 2.3.3 RUU
4. boot 2.3.3 - run OTA update
***New hboot is 2.00.0000 its cant be S-OFFed ,so,phone cant be rooted for now
but u can try new Android Rev HD 2.1.0 based on new official update.
Procedure for installing new AHD 2.1.0 is same like before
1*super wipe script
2*install new rom from 4EXT recovery
Yeah, so i downloaded the rom you suggested, could not find 2.3.3 by the way? but tried with one of the other WWE roms, getting "no image or wrong image" when i try to load the PG32IMG.zip from bootloader, what do I do now? :S
Tried with 2 different mem cards as this error seems to have to do with the card.. but still no luck.. I would not have an problem if i could get into recovery mode, but when i press "recovery" in the bootloader it just gives me that damn white HTC screen..
Anyone? Maybe reinstall the old aplharev with ADB in a way? anybody?

Make sure you didn't copy it to the SD card as PG32IMG.zip.zip. That would give you the no image or wrong image message.
Yeah, correct name.. worked now but gets "incorrect model id" then i downloaded a coocked unzigned room, but gets "parsing.." and then it goes back to the bootloader.. anyone?
EDIT: Fixed, used a random shipped rom and it worked.. with the PG32IMG method.. strange.. anyhow thanks guys

ok. i was running RA-Darchstar Recovery and was curious about Gingerbread so i decided to read up and i had seen that the CLockworkMod recovery was to be used.
so i put it on my sd card and did the adb shell way to install...
-Orginally, i've been using cm 6.1 stable-
(i am using firerats mtd mod so i'm betting this is why what happened, happened.) read on.....
so i flashed the new recovery and i got many mtd "re-read errors (out of memory)" and "Skipping Write Block at..."
when i rebooted to recovery, it got stuck at the htc screen. so i rebooted normally and tried to flash the original RA-darchstar recovery that i had and the same "out of memory" "no space left on device" errors.. have shown up in cmd.
so my question is How do i get back to a Recovery so i can reflash firerats recovery with a bigger mtd partition --or even nandroid for that matter??
should i delete some things through root explorer and if so, what folder should i delete them from?
there has to be a way to get my recovery back. thanks for any help thrown my way...
-cue
EDIT: when booting to Recovery from Bootloader.. it gets stuck at the HTC screen with a white bar just above the htc logo with FASTBOOT USB in red. ??
Am i gonna have to run a RUU? and if so... which RUU do i use? i've never RU'd before. .
Yeah at this point you should ruu. Download the ruu in regawleinads how to root the cdma hero thread. It's in development.

ok. just a little confused as to which ruu to use... the .7 or .5?
EDIT: ok i have read a bit and i'm going with the .5 ruu. thanks a lot Asadullah for the confirmation on ruu. i wish there was an easier way to get a Recovery image back on this phone as i just got things set up correctly for me on this cm 6.1 rom.
Hey guys,
My situation is that I'm trying to get a working ICS rom working, but I get a black screen on bootup for both Virtuous Quattro and Ice Cold Sandwich. I've also tried different kernels, but the same thing happens.
What I did:
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery
Backup
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sd card > Choose zip > Picked my zip here > Confirm
The actual rom installs with no errors or anything... then when I try to reboot, I get the white screen with "htc" in green font, as normal, then it just goes to a black screen. The backlight is on, but the screen is black... softkeys are not lit, either. Like I said, I've reflashed multiple times to no avail. I've seen videos of people on YouTube flashing on IncS, but their devices go straight to the bootloader animation after the htc logo screen.
Anybody encountered this before or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Your phone must be rooted before this and also verify your downloaded zip file with checksum to make sure about proper download.
I actually encountered the same problem a few days ago. I realized it was because I flashed an incompatible Kernal zip file. So I reflashed the ROM and rebooted without flashing any kernals and it worked for me.
I have rooted, and have superuser access. I have also redownloaded and checked the md5 sums. I'll try to download it again and test...
I just redownloaded and rechecked the md5 sums, and I still get the black screen. I've also tried no kernel, and tiamat and still nothing :S

have u converted you filesystem to ext4?
btw, what rom was previous? stock one or custom?
and i recommend you to use 4ext recovery instead of CWM
I have to use CWM for now, since I don't have access to fastboot right now (i'll download it later), but how do I check if it's ext4 or not in CWM? And if its not, do you know how to make it ext4?
And i'm using CM7, not stock

if u have CM7 ur filesystem already converted )))
i think the reason of crashes on boots is old version of recovery. try to upgrade urs CWM or install the latest 4ext recovery
It's very easy to change CWm to 4ext: go to http://4ext.net/ and download 4EXT Recovery Updater, install it. With its help u will instal 4ext
Are you s-off?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
I'm not S-OFF, but my bootloader is unlocked... i think it doesn't really matter much in this case if I have/can flash CM7 without issues
I'll try another version of CWM or try 4ext recovery tomorrow sometime

i'm afraid s-on is the reason of ur problems
I completely agree s-on does matter always.
I have the same problem on Quattro.
If you are s on you have to flash via fastboot the boot.img inside the Rom.zip from your wanted rom after flashing Rom via recovery.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Indeed sniper is correct. However what I would do, get a rom working then look into becoming s-off. Its so much easier to mod your phone after.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Okay, thanks guys! I'll try it out later and see how it goes by flashing boot.img using fastboot.
Thanks guys, it works!
For people who come here looking for answers, basically just open the new ICS rom zip, extract boot.img, cd to that folder in cmd, and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and it should now boot properly.

I had a issue with something on my SD card after i wiped my SD and tried the re install it worked.
let me know if that helped.
I apologize if this is a repetitive post but I urgently need to know how to get back my first ROM ( unrooted, no cwm or anything ).
Details about my phone :
-Asian? lol I live in a country called Brunei, next to Malaysia.
-When I unboxed it, it was froyo and it had an update to gingerbread so I did it straight away
- gingerbread before rooting
And about unrooting it, do I just flash one ZIP file which removes superuser or something? Can someone link a guide or something? Thanks in advance!
Well, i think this is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555

What is the difference between the Asia_HK rom (assuming it is HongKong) and the Asia_WWE rom ?
I tried installing the Asia_HK rom and I couldn't get any OTA updates (from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7).
Also, I had to change the language from chinese to english. Basically, followed all the steps given in the tutorial, but it just didn't work .
my main aim of going back to stock was for the OTA updates. currently, am back to Virtuous Quattro RC3.

Help needed.
I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com and flashed a recovery and flashed a custom rom.
Now When I tried to restore back to Stock rom(from the backup which i took before flashing new rom), It takes me back to recovery all the time after reboot.
I manually flashed boot.img from the back up folder too.
Still it takes me to recovery all the time. I mean, After restoring, It will just reboot and take me to recovery. Even logo "HTC Quietly Brilliant" wont show up.
My phone is S-ON.
I really need to get back to stock rom.
Please help me.

Are you manually flashing the boot.img file while recovery mode, or are you rebooting into FASTBOOT USB mode and flashing it?
When you restore a backup in recovery mode, the boot partition cannot be written to. You must reboot into FASTBOOT USB using the command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
You must copy the boot.img file from you SD card to your PC to run the Fastboot command.

You should relock the bootloader first before you flash the RUU by using the computer.

Ok, so I'm a total noob with android, having just recently converted from my iPhone to my HTC One. I decided to root my phone a few days ago, using Hassoon2000's All-In-One Kit, and everything went smoothly without any problems. However, I decided to try and flash a ROM to disable system write protection because I couldn't update SuperSU. I used this video here
Anyway, after flashing, my phone tried to boot up and got stuck at the "HTC One, quietly brilliant" screen, and won't go any further, but I can still get into the bootloader and CWM recovery. I was told to run the RUU for my phone to unroot and unbrick, so I downloaded the file and ran it. When it was installing, I noticed that the ROM that the RUU was installing was an older version than the one on my phone, and the RUU then gave me error 131.
I'm in a dead end here, I honestly have no idea what to do, but my guess is that the RUU that I got was outdated, so I need a newer version of the Three UK HTC One RUU. Can anyone help me out here?
There is no Three RUU - Three have yet to release it. Which rom were you trying to load? Use the toolkit to sideload the rom in recovery then once you've got your phone working again, transfer the CWM nandroid backup for 3 UK from the page you've just linked to. Place it in your clockworkmod backup folder then restore it in recovery. This will get you back to stock rom if you still want it, not stock recovery though.

The file I was trying to install is linked in that YouTube video. Also, when I tried to sideload viperROM, recovery just said "unable to mount /data" and the sideload failed. I also tried using TWRP recovery to flash the ROM, it said there was no OS when I was trying to reboot.

I did this, and then when I went into recovery to look for the ROM, I couldn't find it, and noticed that it said "Internal Storage 0 MB". Do you think I could have messed up my partitions when I originally tried to disable write protection?

Some time when your downloaded rom is corrupted you could get that kind of error. Sometime the recovery program could not access the extSD card you could get it too.
After you download the rom check whether it is corrupted or not. Some rom developer posted their md5 for their rom. In that case check the md5.
You could transfer the file to internal storage if you think your extSD card has an error.
Do the clean install every time ( wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, etc..)
When I upgrade my vivid to CM 11 from CM 10 I had to flash it twice to work.

Is your HTC-Vivid fully rooted? A fully rooted Vivid will show "S-OFF" at the HBOOT screen. (HBOOT is the screen that comes up when you hold DOWN VOLUME and POWER).
If your Vivid is "S-ON" you will need to be sure to flash the boot.img file using flashboot with every ROM install. If you are S-ON, are you flashing the boot.img from the ROM you are trying to install?

While you are correct about needing to flash boot.IMG while you are s-on, being s-off or on has nothing to do with rooting your phone. It is a completely different thing, and only required to modify partitions of your phone which could cause a hard brick if you do something wrong.

Really? I was told that certain ROM features wouldn't function without access to the secure partition. Hardware stuff like over/underclocking. Is that not true?
Over clocking and underclocking have nothing to do with s-off. Besides mucking with the radio, the only things that s-off really let you do is easily unlock your sim, and make a new boot screen (for example, I have a picture of the crab nebula instead of an HTC splash screen). And of course automatically and directly flash the kernel (boot.IMG) from the zip file your ROM is in.
