Hello
I finally got bored with my phone and decided to try some custom roms. Im not new to flashing roms but this was my first attempt with the vivid.
I unlocked my bootloader and s-off my phone using the Juopunutbear trick. I updated the hboot and perm-rooted the device. I did this all following the superguide instructions.
This is where I think I messed up. I tried to use the rom manager to back up my phone and install cwm which im thinking i shouldnt have. I installed the app and hit flash clockworkmod recovery. I got confused on what to do after that.
I can boot into the phone fine with no issues but I can not hboot into recovery it just hangs on the htc white screen.
I dont know where to go from here. can i salvage this process or step back in someway? Also did I install cwm or not complete the process or was it already installed as part of the superguide perm root instructions? Im a little confused on the whole recovery part.
Thanks for the help
Either flashimagegui from the themes and apps thread...
Or manually fastboot flash recovery *image name*
I recommend twrp...
Easy way to get it..
Download goomanager from the market... Open... Grant root...
Hit the menu capacitive button... Choose install openrecovery script...
Download it... Trying to flash it with goomanager is broken... Use either method mentioned above

Thanks for the reply. I ended up re-rooting the phone(Step 4 superguide) and that gave me access to the recovery menu again.
Yeah, don't use rom manager it's old and outdated

I got my phone back just 3 days ago and figured i'd finally customize it. I FINALLY figured out a safe and full-proof way of rooting my samsung galaxy s i9000M. I FINALLY figured out that I need to switch the <3e> recovery to <2e> recovery so that I'm able to flash custom ROMs.
Here's the annoying part...
I STILL can't set up Clockworkmod recovery instead of the stock recovery menu. The tutorial I'm following specifies that I need this recovery in order to get everything workin.
I have the phone rooted and I have ROM manager installed too.
Won't someone tell me how to install it on my phone?
I've tried this website:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-3-using-rom-manager/
didn't work many times
thanks in advance!

gotta start somewhere
I should point out, it keeps saying "can't open /sdcard/update.zip"
(no such file or directory) if that helps
You mean you don't have recovery yet or you can't install any zip files?

You'll probably need to do it via Odin.
If you look at the guides here on XDA you'll see easily how to do this.
There are probably easier ways to do by now, but you can follow the more traditional method without much difficulty and not really with that many screw up chances.
Just grab a custom Kernel, like SpeedMod or so, for Odin installation.
Follow the steps that you'll see on the Odin guide to install just the Kernel. Once that is done the Recovery mode will be altered and you can start using CWM normally from there on (or until you install some other full ROM that replaces the kernel and recovers the official recovery mode).
I recently got a Incredible S and was considering rooting it. So I went through the topics here and people kept mentioning the option you see on the main menu to "install zip from SD Card".
Just to ensure that I knew everything before I went ahead and rooted, I went to the HBoot screen(volume down and power). My phone was locked(S-ON) and on the screen I could not see any option to "install zip from SD Card". Am I missing something? I am posting a picture of my Hboot screen.
Also something I noticed was that the screen would refresh and automatically run a check to see if any images were present on the sd card. Is this normal?
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but I am confused and just wanted to be sure.
To be able to see that option you require to root, then flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then you will have the modified recovery with that option to flash roms.
1. Root with Revolutionary
2. Flash ClockwordMod Recovery (To find out how to do this go HERE)
Thanks neo, that helps a lot.

Hi Markj338,
You installed the ICS-4.0.3 (incredible S)?
What team?
This version you have installed, has any bug?
thanks.
No? What are you talking about?
I downgraded, s-offed, rooted, and installed recovery, then I flashed a few different roms, before flashing trinity sensation XL as my daily rom
After I unlock the boot-launcher through htcdev.com, i cannot access to the recovery mode, it always has problems when processing. So I follow a tip in the internet to install an CMW recovery, now my phone stop at HTC logo, cannot do anything more. I really need help, can somebody help me? I just bought this phone 5 days ago, I'm now so scared if it really died!!!
Belongs in general section... Did you flash the boot.img of your ROM?
OMG.... I didnt know that. Could you give me full guide?
I have done

No, I don't have much time. just use the search function, you'll find sth First install a ROM of your choice. The boot.img is in the .zip of the ROM. Search down a guide and flash it via adb.

My phone died at recovery mode. I cannot use flash from zip card. Argh, I may come back to ugly-htc-sense. (
Do you know that you need to hold down power + volume down to access recovery? (must be done exactly after you power on your phone; b4 HTC logo)
Yes, I hold the volume down and power key, and then the boot launcher appears, then I select recovery and stuck at HTC logo (
Try flashing a new recovery image, then once you flash a new rom, boot into fastboot and flash the boot.IMG inside the Rom

What did you flash CWM with? Try using rom manager and it will do it all for u
Make sure you arent trying to flash the wrong rom or recovery for your device, the inc2 is vivow, the incS is vivo, what does your bootloader say at the top?

thank you guys all, just tried again and and it worked!!! Now I'm on JB 4.1/
Thank you guys all for visitng my thread and helping me . TYTYTYT!!!!!
would be good if you posted how you fixed, for future reference.
I just rooted my HTC Vivid and installed CWM. First I wanted to start off by creating a backup of my rom, so I selected the "Backup Current Rom" option. I installed the the necessary utilities to create a backup. Finally, I was given the option to create my backup name. But when I select OK to begin the backup process, the phone reboots, and gets stuck at the HTC loading screen and doesn't move. Is there something I missed in order to create a backup of my current ROM? I've ran it like 10 times and it just keeps getting stuck at the HTC title screen and gets frozen there, forcing me to remove the battery to boot the phone.
Sorry if this question has already been answered, I just couldn't find this topic specific to the Vivid anywhere else.
Do not use CWM. Use another recovery like TWRP or WCX Recovery.

Can I install those over the CWM recovery? Or do I need to factory reset my phone?

You should be able to install TWRP the same way you installed CWM...

So I went ahead and installed TWRP using GooManager and it still just sticks at the HTC Splash Screen when I try to boot into Recovery. Any other ideas?
*EDIT: Actually, it started working when I flashed it with a different app. I think I'll stick with TWRP. Thanks!!
Yea you gotta use fastboot or the flash image gui app to flash it. There's also a kit in the dev forum that comes with recoveries and flashes them too if you didn't know

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.

Use this guide to push a rom to your phone, then flash it in recovery:

Also, you know that you install viper 1.0 first then to the updates one at a time in order? Just checking, apologies if you already knew that.

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?
