I just want to start off saying that i am very noobish at this because i just got my nexus one yesterday, and it was pre-rooted because the guy i bought it off of had already rooted it. It's running Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3.
Today, i wanted to learn how to flash new roms onto my phone because i wanted the ice cream sandich rom. So i tried to flash to meDROID ICS 4.0.3 CM9 v6. The pre-requisites were that i needed to have blackrose hboot, with the partition resized.
So i downloaded the hboot files and set up adb and downloaded the blackrose files as well. First i used BREditor and resized my partition accordingly (220,16,200). Then i used BlackRose.exe to flash BlackRose onto my phone...i practically did everything the tutorial video told me to. At the end i presses "Wipe All". then the cmd closed and my phone was in bootloader. I downloaded the ICS 4.0.3 CM9 v6 files, and put them into my sd card and went into recovery and installed zip from sd card. While installing, it gave me an offset which i dont clearly remember, and then it completed the installation. I rebooted the system and now it keeps rebooting into recovering mode...and i don't know what to do.
I think i'm doing the BlackRose part properly, but i think i'm not partioning it properly. If you could please provide some steps to partition it and use cmd/adb to command my phone to partition. It would be a great help.
I know this post is redundant as many others have posted, but i honestly don't understand it. Any help would be of great value.
Thank you.
Hi. No worries. If you are getting a reboot loop, you probably need to rewipe everything again. I wiped at least 3 times.
The other thing is, I also partitioned my sd card t ext3. That might also be an issue for you as well if you did not do it. Not sure though as I did not try the install without the repartitioning. I also did not use the BReditor as I just flashed the correct blackrose file via fastboot. But the BReditor seemed pretty straight forward.
To re-partition you need to use 4ext or amon ra. I used 4ext, very nice program.
To look if blackrose is installed:
1. Go into bootloader
2. In the first line on top stands "*Blackrose-Made by Lecahe1...."
3. In the second line stands "data-220/16/200"
Okay, let me explain what's happening:
1. Resize Partition (using BREDITOR)
2. Open up BlackRose.exe and follow the instructions, and phone goes into bootloader.
3. Flash the hboot.zip that was provided in the BlackRose official thread.
4. Phone installs the hboot and boots normally into my CyanogenMod 7.0.3.
5. I go back into bootloader, and I don't think anything is installed.
This is what i see in bootlader:

So where am i going wrong?
Did you install a recovery before you started this endeavor? Like amon ra, or 4ext?

I already had Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3. I went into clockword mod and it flashed the last clockwork mod recovery for me.
the problem is you must first install blackrose and then resize partition.
1. connect usb (with usb debugging on)
2. start blackrose.exe and install blackrose
3. and then resize partition
clockworkmod is ok, I also installed blackrose with clockworkmod
and why flash you back to hboot.zip? That's only when you want back to stock hboot...

How would i resize partition after i install BlackRose because my phone would go into bootloader. To resize, i would have to use fastboot commands, and i'm not very familiar with those.
there's a very good video how to resize partition:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_D3shjrNq8&feature=youtu.be
I've followed that video exactly, so many times..but i can never get it because it doesn't change anything...
The version of blackrose I flashed I attached to this reply. I flashed it via fastboot, not difficult. Once you flash it, go back into recovery and resize partition. I don't know about CWM, but 4ext and Amon ra allow you to partition your sd card inside recovery, that is what he is telling you to do.
And after you repartition, you can then flash your rom via recovery.
I think you forget, that on this video he had already blackrose installed!
so you must first install blackrose and then the video.
Okay, so you can partition your SD card in clockwork mod. It gives me Ext Sizes of 128M, 256M, 512M, 1024M, 2048M, 4096M. Which one should i choose?

OHH! so first i install the stock BlackRose, and then when partitioning, i must do all that process just to partition the drive! okay, i'll try that. Then i must wipe 3 times and install the rom? Hopefully this works. I'll get back at ya in 5 minutes
Okay, so i installed BlackRose.exe and then it went into bootloader. Do i have to reboot normally and go into my phone so that usb debugging is on, and then use BREditior/BlackRose to partition?
^ nope, no luck. Tried doing that too. Because once i install BlackRose.exe.. my phone goes into bootloader, and after that i can not use BlackRose.exe to partition my phone because it does detect as an adb device...
Then reboot and connect again with usb debugging on.
Yup, did that too and nothing happens. Still says this in bootloader:

P.S I have a question. The first time we try installing BlackRose. Should i press Advanced Install -> Stock BlackRose -> Have not partioned OR should i just press Install, rather than advanced install.
just press install please.
advanced is only when you already have installed blackrose
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I got it working! WOOOT! I love you all. Thanks to XDA Developers for providing this helpful community! Thank you so much Ruud!
With this new ROM, is there any wifi instability? because i keep losing my wifi connection D:
Glad you got it working! I have had no instability of any kind. Generally in the past on other roms when I have had problems like that it has been because I did not wipe enough.
What radio firmware do you have? You should have at least 5.08. If not, I would imagine you would have some instability.

Hi, after i have rooted my Nexus One and installed blackrose with new partition layout scheme, i received first the android with the exclamation point. So I pullend the plug, removed the battery and restarted the device. Now my mobile hangs on the 4 colour X. I can go into fastboot Mode and my pc recognizes it if i do fastboot USB, but I don't know any commands and don't know where to put the folders and which folders to help my phone to get the Old partition Layout again or just to Boot up into androids. Tanks for any help and suggestions
i gotta run

esp having the required stock hboot

Are you sure you have installed blackrose with new partition layout?
To check it:
1. Go into bootloader
2. In the first line on top stands "*Blackrose-Made by Lecahe1...."
3. In the second line stands "data-220/16/200"
Hi. Not sure what ROM you are installing. Unless you are installing an Ice Cream Sandwich based ROM you don't need blackrose, so you need to do as rugmankc said and flash stock hboot. If you are trying to flash blackrose to install an ICS based rom, then you need to understand what you are doing first. Read read and read.
We can help you for the most part, but if you don't understand what you are doing, then what we tell you won't help much. Your phone is alright, all you need to do is reinstall the stock hboot to get it to boot correctly.
do you still have a recovery I assume Amon_RA
ie--from fastboot screen can you go to bootloader and then boot into recovery
Cheers for the help, it was much appreciated. I have fixed the problem myself. After I ve rooted and changed the partition layout there was not a recovery mod on the phone and I think it could not apply the older boot and system img with the new partition. I had to get into fastboot mode and install with the fastboot commands a recovery mod and boot and system image. Now it works with Medroid ICM
Glad you got it,
I lost my recovery twice with BR and ICS. That is why I asked. Same symptons.
Is there a way to enable CallRecorder on IncS to record clean sound from both sides from line, not from mic, because the sound is very bad? I found THIS site and there is sad that "Requires the kernel with 2-way call recording patch"? I tried but cannot find anything about that, anybody know where to find that kernel, or is there some other application that can do call record with clean sound? I tried couple of them from market but none is good. Thanks.
Unity kernels have 2wcr patch. There's app in first post and mirror in last.
Thank you. You mean on THIS therad? I have Incredible S v.2.3.5 sense 3.0, stock ROM, rooted, unlocked bootloader with HtcDev, S-ON. Is this compatible with my device? I just need to flash form CWM/install from zip? Where i can find stock kernel, if something go wrong to return to stock? Thanks!

Yes sorry I forgot to post a link. As you are s-on, the easiest way to flash this kernel is to replace your cwm with the latest version of 4ext touch recovery. To restore the the stock kernel, just restore the boot.img that you backed up as a nandroid in 4ext before you flashed unity But you should have no issues.
Thanks again. I never used 4ext touch recovery, is necessary to flash kernel with that tool or i can also do it with cwm? I already done nandroid backup from cwm.

You cannot flash a kernel with cwm on a s-on device. 4ext is very easy to use. You will have to redo your nandroid as I don't think the cwm backup method is compatible with 4ext.
So i just install 4ext, beside cwm, wright?

Download the app in the 4ext thread and flash from there.
I downloaded 4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk and install from there, everything went ok but when i boot into recovery it's still CWM, not 4ext, what to do?

You need root access, then select online install. I don't know if you have done either of these things as your post contains insufficient information.
Yes, i have root access (superuser) and i selected online install, and installation went well, installed 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC3 (latest). But, when i want to boot into recovery (power+volumedown), phone boot in CWM (which i installed 2 days ago) instead of 4ext. What i am doing wrong?

The app should give you a copy of the 4ext recovery in your downloads folder, you might want to flash it manually. The app gives options to reboot into recovery, you might need to use it.
I use the option in the app to reboot into recovery, but it rebooted in CWM. How to manually flash the 4ext?
Ok, i used 4ext file from download folder on phone and flash the img with fastboot flash recovery command and now i have 4ext touch recovery. Now, i boot into recovery, choose install zip from sd card, and install UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14 from my sd card, and i will have unity kernel, right?

Use the app to flash the kernel. Make sure you have s-on smartflash enabled in the recovery settings and create a backup first.
"S-On: 4EXT SmartFlash - This setting is unavailable for your device". This option is greyed-out and i cannot select it?

Hmm, did you tell the app you were s-on when you installed it?
I don't remember i sow that question during install, can i check it out now, or re-flash and tell the app that i am s-on?
edit: i just re-flashed and there is NO question at all, just installing and done!
I found this: "This is done when you install recovery and answer the question that you are s-on with "yes".
You can also change that setting later on via RecoveryControl -> Recovery settings, or by editing 4ext.prop manually"
How to edit 4ext.prop manually?
I found that file on sd card and edit it, now is s-on=yes (was NO) but nothing changed. I reboot and recheck 4ext.prop and there is s-on=NO, again. I send mail to madmaxx82 and this is what it say:
"yes it's like that. Your device is unsupported by SmartFlash, because it's technically impossible on your device, which means you need to flash kernels/boot and even recoveries with fastboot. Sorry, but there is absolutely no way!"
So, can i flash UNITY kernel with fastboot with s-on?

I guess you could try booting the recovery in fastboot.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
and flash the kernel.zip from there, but this method is unconfirmed on our devices.
Otherwise you will have to go s-off if its that important to have this feature.
Ok, thanks. I want to try to downgrade and gain s-off.
In your thread "[TOOL][SCRIPT][20 Feb 2012]S-off for HBOOT 1.16 and above v3.1" is a link to RUU used for downgrade. In that RUU the radio is 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03 and i have higher radio (20.482.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M). Somewhere i read that downgrade the radio can brick the device? Or that can happened only if try to downgrade with lower version of android, like from Gingerbread to Froyo? I have Gingerbread, like the RUU for downgrade. Can i safely use your script to downgrade and s-off my device?
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.

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:

So I followed this guide for installing CM 10.1 on my Nexus One... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804571
I got to the part where I put the custom ROM on my SD card and then got stuck at installing blackrose.
So if I reboot my phone it won't boot into anything given that I did a full wipe as per this guide: http://checkrom.com/threads/full-wipe-the-correct-way.432/
and it doesn't really say what state my phone should be in... recovery? fastboot? booted into android? I tried all methods except the latter since i can't boot into it.
I get stuck at "waiting for device."
I'm fine with doing the custom method but I have no idea what this means:
Apply custom BlackRose
*.If you use BlackRose installer method, no need to read
Apply
1.fastboot flash hboot [CUSTOM BLACKROSE BINARY]
2.fastboot reboot-bootloader
If you will change partition layout
1.fastboot flash hboot [CUSTOM BLACKROSE BINARY]
2.fastboot reboot-bootloader
3.fastboot erase cache
4.fastboot oem brcmd brec
5.full wipe
6.update rom
7.reboot
What is "CUSTOM BLACKROSE BINARY"? and how do I install blackrose manually and resize partitions. (Unless you can tell me how to make blackrose.exe work)
Thanks in advance!

From what I understand from your post, you formatted and wiped your phone before installing black rose is it? If so, I guess you can't install black rose without a ROM installed. Copy a cm 7.2 zip onto your sdard, flash it on and install black rose when booted into android.
Also, ensure that adb and fast boot drivers and correctly installed for your n1.
Once black rose is installed, run black rose from your system (when your phone is connected and booted into android) to resize the hboot partition. Ensure android debugging option is checked as well.

I did wipe and format before installing BlackRose because that's what the guide said, however, that not working and my phone being useless already lead me to installing CM 7.2... now it's a working phone. I booted into android (CM 7.2) and started up BlackRose.exe but, it's still not working. How do I check if adb and fastboot drivers are installed correctly? I already have the sdk with the "Google USB driver" from the sdk installed. Android debugging was already enabled as well.
Do I need to mount the SD card when running BlackRose?
Thanks.
Well, I reinstalled the Android SDK which indicated the driver wasn't installed properly. I reinstalled the driver and everything worked like a charm! Thank you!
You're welcome. Have fun with JB
Good morning,
I've 'inherited' an Incredible S where an attempt to try a custom ROM has gone wrong. The handset has ARHD 6 ROM installed in it which never gets past the white HTC bootscreen, probably because it hasn't had the BlackRose bootloader installed. Obviously there is no Nandroid to make life easy.
It's on HBoot 2.02, S-on, and the bootloader is unlocked with 4Ext installed.
Quick question: is there a ROM I can install on bootloader 2.2 via 4Ext that will enable the phone to be used, e.g. Virtuous Quattro?
Longer question: Can anybody point me in the direction of a good method to downgrade the bootloader, bearing in mind I can't boot to the ROM. I do seem to have fastboot access and don't mind command line work, I just can't see the best combination of bootloader/ROM that isn't on a dead link.
Alternatively an RUU suitable for the bootloader would be good, but for some reason the list on HTCDev.com doesn't seem to be filtering properly for me on Opera or Iron.
Thanks in advance,
RH

Nice one, thanks. I've downloaded the ROM from http://get.cm/get/2KU and will flash from 4Ext recovery.
The bootloader in in that same zip file, I'll flash as follows:
At ADB prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Reboot, ROM should load up fine. I spotted the downgrade guide yeterday and it looks very good. I'll give it a shot if CM isn't suitable.
Again, thanks very much.
Time for 2 small questions? How long does it take to flash the boot.img, 10 seconds? 5 minutes? Why does the boot image have to be flashed manually?
Cheers!

Time for 2 small questions? How long does it take to flash the boot.img, 10 seconds? 5 minutes? Why does the boot image have to be flashed manually?
Cheers!

boot.img flashing should take >1s or around that at least...
And the boot.img has to be flashed manually only if you are S-ON. S-ON doesn't give you full clearance to some particular partition that I forget. S-OFF will so when you achieve S-OFF, you will no longer need to flash the boot.img manually

OK, same as my HOX then. Anyway, I've followed your instructions.
Hm, ROM installed and now trying to flash boot.img (from the rom zip).
Fastboot devices shows one device.
Command line states "sending boot (2182 kb)..." but hasn't changed for over 3 minutes. Handset says Fastboot USB and is unresponsive (as expected) at this moment.
I'll leave it until it errors.

Edit: 30minutes later i pulled the usb cable.
"FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))"
Handset is in the same state, i.e.fastboot/hboot and recovery are fine, but ROM doesn't boot and handset stalls at white screen with green HTC letters.
Any ideas why I can't flash the boot.img?
Success! After reinstalling the the drivers and moving the USB cable to another port, the boot.img was successfully pushed, and booted into CM.
I'll now go for downgrading!
thanks for the help.
