HELP - Just about to flash new radio/kernal/ HBOOT for extra 15mb

I am unable to flash in fastboot, so it has to be done in RA-Recovery...
I have 7-8 different zip files..( 27.08 radio, Original 0013 HBOOT, spoof 1.33.2009, etc..)
I have everything I need to flash. If someone can just tell me EXACTLY how to do it in Recovery and with what files... Also, do I need the spoof SPL for CM nightlies, or is it fixed now..
Thanks again

I am under the impression that I need to
flash 1.33.0013 and the reboot back into recovery....
Flash Radio 2708 and reboot and during boot, reboot into recovery...
Then flash ezBiffTestKernel20101106-2708_S and that is it....
My problem is that I have CM6-nightly 250 installed and I was told it needs to be reinstalled a different way.. I do have SPOOF SPL, the other CM6- modded one too...
Someone help... please

flash 1.33.0013d
Also, do a bart backup of your current rom in recovery. After you flash the radio you should just wipe everything and then restore your bart backup. Then after it restores flash the anyKernel.
Or, you can flash the spoof spl after the radio and then flash whatever rom you want....as long as you flash the kernel after the rom.

[DEV] ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4 [UPDATED: Can't get to CWM? Here's the fix!]

Howdy y'all!
I just compiled a proper version of ClockworkMod recovery 5.5.0.4 off of the ICS branch of CyanogenMod.
It supports backing up boot images (I have heard that the image that is being flashed now doesn't support backing that up), and in the near future will support recovery chargemode.
This repository will hopefully contain in the near future a semi-working copy of CyanogenMod 9 also, but there's no guarantees on that one
So, without further ado:
What is this?
This is ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 and the files necessary to build it yourself.
Click to expand...

How do I use it?
You must first be unlocked with HTCDev.com (there is an excellent guide over there, just click on the Unlock Bootloader button and it'll walk you through)
Once you're unlocked, download the prebuilt image below, and do the following (in the same directory you used to unlock your phone):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path/to/prebuilt-image-you-downloaded.img>
You need to replace the stuff in brackets with the path to the img file you downloaded from here...
Alternate Installation Method (ph39img)
Much easier installation once unlocked with HTCDev...
Simply download the ph39img.zip I have linked to in the downloads section, and put it on your external SD card.
Reboot your phone into HBOOT, and allow the update. Then you've got clockwork installed super easy, no computer needed!

How is this different from the ClockworkMod image that's floating around here?
Truth be told, I haven't tried the other version yet-- but I have been told that it doesn't back up boot.img, and has a few other bugs.
Also, this version has /sdcard mapped to the external SD card as opposed to the internal SD card. This is a safety feature to prevent losing backups in case your device becomes inaccessible. All backups should be to an external storage medium (even on your desktop, it's a good practice to not backup your hdd to the same device )
I'm sure mine has bugs too, but I'm posting the source so y'all can laugh at me

Tips and Tricks (what works, and what doesn't)
Please read the following-- the HTCDev unlock comes with it's own disadvantages and risks...
The HTCDev unlock adds the word "**UNLOCKED**" to your HBOOT screen. Even if you put your phone to stock with a RUU and re-lock the phone, your phone will show "**RELOCKED**" when booted to the bootloader.
At this time, I am unsure if AT&T will refuse warranty claims if they see that text. Just remember: if you unlock, there may not be any way back to complete stock any time soon.
Another disadvantage of the HTCDev unlock: ClockworkMod recovery CANNOT flash kernels. You must use JoeyKrim's kernel flasher ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20926830 )or fastboot to flash kernels. This includes Nandroid backups.
If you back up your phone and apply a new ROM and kernel, you will have to fastboot flash the old boot.img back or use JoeyKrim's kernel flasher before switching ROMs.
If you flash a ROM, make sure to read the instructions with the ROM. Every ROM developer has a different method of flashing the kernel-- some come with a script to run, and others just give you the files to flash. Please read what they have to say before posting here with a complaint
Not seeing your rom .zips on your SD card, or having trouble restoring a backup?
This version of ClockworkMod has the external SD card set as primary. This is to avoid the problem of "my phone died, and I can't access my backups".
To solve this issue, simply put your ROMs or whatnot on your external SD card. In the future, I may look into how hard it is to add a internal/external SD switcher to clockwork, but for now the safest default is the external SD.
Sorry about that!
Some rom.zip's don't work...
This may be because they're using an old version of the update-binary in their .zip file. Contact your ROM maintainer and ask for an updated version
If you are a ROM developer, here's the updated "update-binary". Drop it in your META-INF/com/google/android directory in your ZIP and update your format() commands properly...
update-binary.bin (rename to update-binary) - http://legacyschool.us.to/htcvivid/update-binary.bin

HELP! I CANT GET INTO RECOVERY! *new!
If you find yourself unable to get into CWM (i.e. the screen flashes some text, then reboots immediately), just boot to fastboot (hboot -> fastboot), then issue "fastboot erase cache" on your PC.
Then you should be able to boot into ClockworkMod. After you're in there, make sure to format /cache to fix the problem.
This issue will be fixed soon, I'll add some intelligence to the kernel to not bother rebooting to fsck a partition if it's marked 'dirty' or unmountable. Stock recovery is supposed to fsck the partitions if they're dirty/broken, but CWM doesn't bother, and the kernel gets easily confused.

Thanks for giving this looong post a read!
Good luck!

Shoot I'll give it a shot. Flashing now. Will edit this post after its been tested.
Edit: Short glance review, I know a lot of this is already stated/known but just posting it anyways
So firstly, I'm still getting no confirmation when I flash images (whether it be recovery or kernal) but again, I think thats from me using a VM to do all the work.
Still boots into recovery when plugged in.
Maybe I'm just being an idoit, but I couldn't get out of the keytest, had to hold power button which booted the rom.
Of course the usb mount and such works.
Will try backup later when I'm not short on downtime.

already flashed... beautiful. will run through some tests tonight. and dont think you are getting rid of me on IRC now

Coming from the HTC EVO 3D land with the HTC unlock method for the last 6 months .. the following tips have been very helpful.
HTC Unlock method only allows kernel write access while in two modes, fastboot and standard android mode. HTC unlock method does NOT allow a kernel to be flashed from standard recovery mode. This includes a ROM .zip with a kernel inside. The ROM will load, but the kernel will not from standard recovery mode.
The ONLY way to flash a kernel whether by performing a full nandroid restore including the kernel or flashing a ROM with a kernel inside, is to use the following command to load the custom recovery:
fastboot boot <destination of recovery.img>
example on windows: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Everything else will work in the standard custom recovery mode EXCEPT the ability to flash a kernel. To flash a kernel through the custom recovery, fastboot mode must be used per HTC's unlock method.

Updated OP with simpler installation method (ph39img).
Much easier to use, and no mucking around in commandline!

well it most definetly worked. i jus downloaded the zip file and was able to back up my settings. Only problem i have is. ( which is a similiar problem i had before this. if i powered off the phone and plug it to charge it would automatically restart the phone.) When i power off now and plug it in to charge. It automatically goes to the clockworkmod set up. none the less my phone works and i have backed it up. But i still was wondering wat could cause these problems ?

Same issue here can't charge while off,
I not sure boot backups are working,
Was stock did back up, flashed RR betas and then restore to saved image, got bootloop, had flash boot thru fastboot
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium

Great start for this....from what i was told theres drivers needed in the recovery for it to charge while device is off and fastboot is unchecked...device charges while fastboot is checked and device is off....
WC

Recovery works great for me.
BTW, the offline charge issue is usually in the chargemon file.

for the new recovery, we will need to be using a new update-binary and when flashing a rom, your updater-script must contain 4 arguments in the format line, like this:
Code:
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p29", "0");
inside the attached zip you will find the update-binary
if you dont know what update-binary and updater-script is, then this isnt for you and you needn't concern yourself with it.

Just put your new recovery in the superguide and gave you credit. Keep up the good work!

There seems to be some issues pertaining to this CWM and flashing Telstra_boot image and attempting to install Run Runner ROM.
After flashing boot.img and attempting to wipe and isntall the rom i got an aborted error 1. After rebooting back into recov i was stuck at the HTC boot screen
The only way i could get back and working was relocking and flashing the RUU

Question has the flash able zip been updated so it will now work to flash rooms or is it the rom zip scripts that needed updating? Can I place this zip on my SD card and overwrite the old version ( if that's what was in fact wrong)
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk

I have a raider from rogers and tried putting the PH39IMG zip on my htc sd drive and get an error about wrong img (or something to that effect).
So is this for the at&t vivid only?
as I still have cwm from the original raider thread for rogers, bell, fido from here.
and this appears to be updated and backing up to the ext-sd, which is much better.

ok i have a question, after using the phone for a full day know (still stock).
I have noticed I'm unable to keep my connection to rogers for data only.
I have checked and the apn is right.
I have cleared dalvic cache and fixed permissions.
Still when im away from wifi and using data, most of the time i have no connection.
Now before i updated to this version of cwm i had no issue's with my data connection.
anyone else having an issue with a raider on rogers?
Thanks

[Q] Fastboot?? Finally need to ask

I thought I knew enough not to ever post a question that might be answered already but here goes... I am an HTC Evo owner and know how to flash a rom in recovery with no problem. I boot into recovery (Amon Ra, I have cwm on my wifes phone) do a nandroid backup, wipe phone, cache, dalvik then flash zip from sd. i choose a rom and flash then reboot, everything is all good. With my Vivid, I am fearful of flashing a rom this way because of this fastboot step and what is a kernel(<------- i know it sounds newb but a for real question)? If I absolutely have to perform the fast boot step, I am 99% certain I will be able to figure it out, in fact I believe I have performed a similar task when rooting the Vivid. I may have the capability to do it but it doesn't make sense to me. I would like to understand why. Any helpful answers or tips for me?

"In computing, the kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level." (This was from Wikipedia)
I would post a URL but since I'm 'new'.
Anyways, that's the gist of it.
(To my knowledge)

With most roms for example Rumraider, you need to flash the kernel (boot image) first before you flash the rom in. Cwm in order for the Rom to boot properly. It is the nearly the exact same steps as you HTC EVO. I'm coming from an HTC Aria so I'm like you and never had to this kernel flashing before. Trust yourself it is not hard. Just read the superguide. I repeat READ THE SUPERGUIDE. It explains exactly how to do it. There are a few ways to do it. I find using the command prompt the easiest but you need a pc. You can now even use a kernel flasher or a program called flash image GUI from the market. Honest its not so bad just read read read. I believe we need to flash this way until we get S-off. Hope this helps.

Thanks to all of you!!! I use the comand window with the EVO 3d screen to boot in recovery. (1.5) I use the rootevo3dnew folder and hold down shift right click and it opens that comand window. (Just so you know what I know) But with the vivid I cant get the comand window to find the phone. I have used flash image GUI from the market (life saver) But I have found that some ROMS do not have a Kernal file in it for it to find. So it says I am missing img. So the question is how do I flash a kernal or add it to a Rom I would like to try? O and yes a noob all the way

When you use the command prompt window are you in fastboot on your phone? Make sure you install the correct drivers as well. If that doesn't work try using a program called easy kernel flasher. I think a dev on her created it.

Thanks I will try that tonight The one thing I noticed is I use FlashImageGUI and it works great on HoliRaider V1 - Sense 3.5. I have tried to use it on VJRaider 0.0.3 Sense 3.5 and it will not load the kernal. why would that be?

I stole this from the superguide.
First, download FlashImageGUI from the bottom of the post. But, if you are going to use this more than once, SUPPORT THE DEV and buy the app from the market. You will also get auto updates if you buy it straight from the market
- If you downloaded the FlashImageGUI from the bottom of this post, put it on your external sd card and use a file explorer from your phone to install it
- Then download the ROM you want (this app can find the kernel image in a ROM zip) or just download the kernel by itself or the recovery img you want
- Put your desired kernel or ROM zip or recovery img on the ROOT of your SD card (not in any folders)
- Turn off wifi
- Launch the FlashImageGUI app on your phone
- Click browse and select the ROM zip or kernel or recovery img you put on the sd
- If you selected a ROM zip, the app will automatically find the kernel image
- Select "kernel image" or "recovery image"
- Select "clear dalvik" and "clear cache"
- Click "Flash Image" and let it complete
- IF THIS GAVE AN ERROR OR DIDN'T WORK CORRECTLY, ASK THE DEV OF THE ROM/KERNEL/RECOVERY TO MAKE IT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS APP
- If you were flashing a recovery, turn off the phone and try going into recovery mode (power button + vol down) and you should have the new custom CWM
- (If you were flashing a kernel, YOU NEED TO IMMEDIATELY FLASH YOUR DESIRED ROM
- Turn off your device, then boot into h-boot (hold down the power button and vol down)
- Now flash your ROM zip by following the guide below to flash the ROM, START WITH STEP 6 OF THAT GUIDE

well in those past two years you have updated to the .13d spl and this a hacked up spl to give you more ram. it isn't fully s-off but rather you are limited.
not sure what you have done to your phone so I can't tell you how to fix it. my suggestion would be to fastboot -w or superwipe from recovery, then flash your rom again (and whatever kernel or mods you want to) also maybe stay away from rom mangaer and also movd to amonra recovery. again only suggestions being I don't know what you did you may as well start fresh

But now I can't use all of the apps I bought that require root access anymore. This kinds of defeats the purpose of having root. And I also still have the SU icon in my app drawer.

I know I won't lose apps the point that I was trying to make was that I can no longer use theses apps because they require root access permission to run/work.

I can't push files via ADB/USB port anymore because the USB port on my phone has taken a nose dive.

well you can flash the new recovery via terminal emulator if you want, or you can attempt to do it with rom manager (not a big fan of rom manager, kinda sucks)
superwipe scripts can be flashed via recovery (cw or amonra) flashing the rom again in recovery
again not sure what you did, you only said what dosent work, this should make your root apps work
just wiping clean and and a clean install of the rom should make them work

My old sd card went bad so I had to replace it with a new one. I also clicked on the github link he has posted in the forum and I downloaded amonra_bootable_recovery folder/file as a zip. Should I also update the SPL?
Sent from the Redlight District.

well updating your recovery doesn't have much to do with updating your spl but it doesn't mean you shouldn't
the most updated spl for the dream is the .13d
if you have something else then I suggest it as you get acess to additional ram if you do (~14mb)
if you do make sure you first have the appropriate radio or you could brick your phone, either the .25 or the .08 are the only radios that work with the .13d spl
to check what you have right now, power on while holding the camera button
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

I have that info on my first post of my thread. Is what I've posted the correct SPL & Radio for this to work?
Sent from the Redlight District.

you have the most updated radio and spl, although with the .13d hboot you can not flash a new recovery via fastboot, but you should still be able to via terminal emulator or if you can find the proper image in a .zip and be flashed through your current recovery. of course you should also be able to flash an alternative (amonra) recovey with rom manager. choose whatever way is easier.
and remember that flashing amonra recovery is only a suggestion and will not by itself fix your problem, I just prefer it over clockwork on the g1
mostly you should be concerned with backing up what is needed, wipeing fully, and the flashing a new rom

I'll look around the forum about updating the hboot on my device. Thx for the intel.

ummm, sorry if I wasn't clear, any change to you hboot/spl/bootloader (all the same thing) would be a downgrade. the only benifit you may get would be the ability to use fastboot to flash a recovery (or other partitions) if this really is what you want, flash the orange.nbh (found in ezterrys 2708+ thread) but after flashing a new recovery I would suggest going back to your current radio/spl as it is supperior in every other way

How can I check to see what recovery I have before I do something unneccessary?

like isaid earlier you have the best spl for the dream, the only downfall is the semi s-on. but this is only in the fastboot sense, it isn't true s-on and with th is spl you can still have root
easiest way to boot to recovery (if rom allows) hold power, choose reboot, choose reboot recovery. you can also reboot recovery via adb (adb reboot recovery) or various apps allow this too
if this is to much info, power off. then power on while holding the home button

So can I flash the new recovery image from there as well or does it has to be done via fastboot?

Stuck on recovery menu

i tryed to flash a rom didnt really know what i was doing because when i search how to flash a rom on the g1 nothing comes up so i put the rom as a update.zip installed it and now my phone boots then reboots into recovery not sure what to do. (do i flash the 1.0 stock rom? if so where is a download link for that)

I take it you're not root and have stock recovery? If so google cyanogenmod wiki root htc dream, follow instructions
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Im not able to root it i cant get to the startup screen it might have root still but i think i need stock rom

So you were rooted @ somepoint?
Can you boot into bootloader and write down everything on that screen, also what recovery did you use to try and flash a rom? Custom or stock?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

when i get home ill try to see if i can boot into bootloader.i didnt flash any recovery dont know how all of the threads to flash it didnt work i tryed flashing the rom with stock recovery

Yeah you can't do that. Do what I said earlier, google search cyanogenmod wiki dream root, follow instructions

Really you just need to root and install custom recovery but as you have no os right now you will need to flash the dreaimg.nbh and go from the begining

so i only want to install a gingerbread rom (maby this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997055) but i tryed the root methood you showed me and got to step two and dont know what too and it restored my phone to android 1.0 again can you help me out a little bit?

OK, if you are following that guide and completed step one then you should be at android 1.5
if not then you never finished step one. Alternatively if you are still on android 1.0 then you can do the telnet method, download it from the market

ok next?

so your on 1.0 and have telnet? if so then you need a recovery.img, amonra is what i prefer but use whatever. name it to recovery.img (if your on window it may hide extensions so name it recovery) and put on root of sd (not in a folder)
now open keypad, hit "enter" key twice and then type telnetd
now open telnet app and type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
dont do anything but this and you may need to do it a few times, you know it worked when you see a ## if you get an error back out and do it again
no boot to recovery, update radio and spl then flash custom rom
you may then want to update recovery and radio again (2708+) do get newest roms

how do i update the radio and spl? do i do it the same way we flash roms? and what radio and spl do i download?
my hboot is 0.95.0000 and my radio is 1.22.12.29

Untill you get an engineering spl you will flash through recovery, so go to the thread I linked you to earlier by idrifta and download the recovery.img, the 2.22.23.02 radio and danger spl after all is complete flash a compatible rom and boot to os, maybe super d or super e, or cyanogen 5, you pick just make sure its compatible.
After this all works let me know and I can hellp you update further if you want newer roms, or just read up on ezterrys thread 2708+ update

and when i install zip from sdcard the danger spl is says:
Finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E:signature verifcation failed
installation aborted

Well once yo have amonra recovery you can then upgrade radio then SPL to the ones I mentioned, doing another combo or doing the SPL before radio could result in a brick. Once this is completed and verified (boot while holding camera and check) then you can flash a ROM, and no ginger yoshi won't work until you upgrade further, for now search out one of the ROMs I mentioned and use one of them (probably need to flash appropriate gapps after ROM too)
