MOD: please feel free to move this to Q&A, my bad.
I've tried PACman, I've tried CM10, I've tried tried the Stock ish. CM10 and PACman get to the initial setup screen where I choose a language and when I hit start, or activate USB mass storage, it freezes for a moment then reboots. On the Stock ish one it gets to the Beats logo or AT&T and freezes, then reboots. I've tried the RUU executable and it errors out (but all it says is there's an error, try the correct one executable). Does anyone know what's likely the cause of my problems, and how to fix it so I can just get my phone working? I've been working on it for 18 hours straight, I haven't even eaten anything in nearly 24 hours, and it has been stuck and incapable of rebooting for nearly 12 hours.
Additional details: I was attempting to install PACman and I had some issues, then I used the RUU for Gingerbread (because I didn't realize it was Gingerbread) and got my phone working again. The Bootloader is JB, and it's S-OFF.
this should have been posted in the q&a section. but your bootloader is jb? if you used the RUU for gingerbread it should all be gingerbread. you now have to use the ics RUU to upgrade because it will give you problems like it is now. Use the ics RUU and then flash an ics/jb rom

Neither the ICS nor the GB RUU will work. It just says there was an error, and to please try the right RUU.
EDIT: So I'm guessing that basically I need to get the GB RUU to work, then OTA update to ICS, then continue with everything. How do I get the GB RUU to work? How do I even troubleshoot the fact that it's not working?
EDIT 2: I was wrong, it's giving ERROR [156]: IMAGE ERROR.
EDIT 3: I think I found the problem. The RUU is blank when it says what image ROM it's going to update the device to. Anyone know how to fix that?
EDIT 4: the RUU says its current version is the same as the ICS RUU.
have you tried downloading from a different source? try just using the ics RUU so you don't need to OTA update. maybe the download is just corrupted
Zero's got the right idea!
yup...that's exactly what I'd do, even if it were a stock AT$T RUU rom...better than nothing...

They both worked earlier today. The problem shouldn't be with the files.
EDIT: are JB HBOOT and WCX recovery both completely compatible with the stock ROM? Is there a way to replace WCX and JB HBOOT with the original versions of each just to try and get everything back to the way it was?
EDIT 2: That's weird. I downloaded a new copy of the ICS RUU and it worked. Thanks for all your help and time, everyone!

I had a sneaking suspicion your original RUU was corrupt...Glad it all turned out
just a heads up if you are using Chrome to download these files.. i personally have had TONS of issues downloading large files with Chrome and would recommend using FireFox to download files bigger than 200MB maybe even smaller.. and the RUU's if i remember correctly are around 400MB.. just for future reference since you've already fixed your issue..

Hi,
I'm wondering if there's any proper way to unroot and put Legend to factory state again.
I have latest nightly cyanogen now.
I've tried several things (htc ruu install, flashing with stock rom, flashing with indigo bean, etc.) but every and each one of them finished with nothing - phone with question mark is shown and then it reboots.
So, none of this works. The next thing I want to try is to flash with modaco's custom rom via their instructions - maybe this will work? Is it any good idea?
I just start to wonder if I can break something by trying this stuff over and over.
Any tips?

I assume you'll have to flash to a rom such as modaco's. Well any rom that still has all the HTC sync and tethering rubbish still on it. As this is used to detect the phone when you run the ruu .exe files to flash back to stock.
Can anyone back me up on that? Also shouldn't this thread be in general?
Try this tutorial

I am not sure if it works, but give it a try. Hope it helps.
I'll write you a guide for the easiest way to unroot very shortly..

So im sure this will get bumped to some where else but im desperate. I have been useing roms for a while now since dec 2009 and was wondering if anyone has a fix for my issue. If i try to RUU to re-root and start fresh to fix other random issues (hopefully) i get to about half way through the RUU and it gives an error (140) bootloader error, says im useing the wrong boot loader. im on a cdma hero that was using fire rats mod and aospcm mod then aosp 9.9.2 then cm 6 and i have tried 3 recoveries cwm 3.0.0.5 cwm 2. somthing (has puke green text) and then the amon RA and still same issue i thought flashing new recovery got rid of firerats mod. any ideas or help with this would be appreciated
What version of RUU are you using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
the one from this post as well as the latest direct off sprint site
This is what I have used in the past on my Sprint Hero when running into Error 140 issues. It works like a charm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843544
I just put 1.0.0.0 in the new_region_version.txt
Give it a shot and let us know if it worked for you too.
so flash this then try running the RUU again should clear 140 error

You could try the ruu in zip format. You can find in the hero dev section. You can get back to stock with that in no time. Good luck
Yea it's me again with the
" Modified Hero"
Hi all,
I have been around a long time though i have never had trouble like this before..
i got a Incredible S PG32130 - HBOOT 2.0000.00 - Australian Delivered OPTUS002
I tried to follow the downgrade path so i could get S-OFF found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697
Everything went fine so i proceeded with the older RUU flash to get back to 1.13 so can then run revoutionary..
Though the older RUU flash failed leaving the device hanging quietly brilliant.
Tried a few methods to get it back online to no avail.
So i htcdev unlocked the bootloader.. worked fine. still couldnt flash anything though. so put on CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0 which also worked fine..
I could then install custom ROMS.. So i tried IceColdSandwich though that wouldnt boot.. flashed the X4 kernel without issue.. so i assume it's cause the radio is still old and from what i gather i cant flash a new radio without S-OFF (i have tried through CWM and via Fastboot and via PG32IMG autoload in the bootloader and all fail.
So i tried an AOSP GB ROM still no luck.. Though neither of these would actually flash. get an communication error.. (could that be because ADB is not working? - am i missing a driver?)
And even tried a of legit WWE and CM7 both fail to install as well.
RUU_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTC_WWE_4.10.405.1_Radio_20.74.30.0833U_3831.18.00.11_M_release_266013_signed
From my limited knowledge Radio is independent of AOSP/Sense/GB/ICS though Kernel is dependant. Though the only thing i havent been able to flash is the radio.. will the wrong radio stop you booting?
What are my options here to get S-OFF? I cant adb the device no matter what i do though i do have working recovery and fastboot.
Little help would be greatly appreciated.
damn..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
this fixed me.. the manual flashing of the boot.img was the problem..
ffs.. i have spent hours and read so many guides and that one was the only one that mentioned that you had to manually flash boot.img.
thanks all.

Do you still require s-off? What error message did the ruu return when it failed?
the RUU error is simply USB Connection ERROR though this happens after it has erased and sent the package to the phone.
I think it maybe due to not being able to use ADB.. so prob a driver issue. either way i dont really need S-OFF and after the hours i have spent on this i am reluctant to play more
It aint even my phone! Mine is Sensation which is already S-OFF'd
Thanks for the offer though.
I installed 2 mods last nigh on my vivid and it messed up phone. I am trying to go back to Stock Firmware but when i run the RUU for my phone it tells me the current firmware is GT-P7510-user an will not install the RUU. Any one have a idea how to fix it.I have tried other RUU's and the same thing.
Thanks
Can we say "Idiot" I had my tablet plugged in now it works
Lol that's awesome
Hi,
Sorry if this seems like a dumb question - A bit confused from reading up all the info on upgrading to ICS on the p990.
Im running a volk custom kernel, and CM 7.2 - OS Version 2.3.7.
Whats the "best" way to upgrade to the new ICS? I tried running the LG software update but it doesnt go too well, fails after it tries to detect phone - even though it detects it initially.
Can I get the release that LG released with my setup?
Please advise.
Thanks!
Same situation here. I'm on official cm7.2 and would like to upgrade to ics. But don't think that useing official lg update tool is so good idea - it might brick your phone. It won't update to ics because you aren't running the official GB rom so lg update tool won't upgrade (correct me if i'm wrong).
Maybe the AIO tool would do the trick.
Anyways, people we need your advice!
LOL, use NVflash ICS rom like TG.
for me the best way is using the toolkit to install new partition, new bootloader and recovery
than boot into recovery and flash the room as usual
Thanks Wakata.
Much appreciated. I have tried downloading the toolkit but its always corrupt.. ill download the 7 zip format.
I take it that I will need to back everything up and wipe everything, install new partition, boot loadder and recovery(CWM??), then flash with the new rom and kernel?
I've also used the All-In-One P990-Toolkit to upgrade to ICS.
You can use 1. to backup your internal SD in case you need it later.
Then hit 4. to change the partition layout and after that 8. to flash the new unlocked bootloader. That's all.
Thanks again
Slight problem - I downloaded the 7z file, and extracted them, but cant seem to run the .cmd file? What am i doing wrong here?
scratch that last question.. for some reason the files are corrupt when i download them.. grrrr.
So I followed the instructions, and suprise suprise, I get an error -
Nvflash started
nvflash configuration file error: file not found
An error occured. Read above lines for details
Help please
Nevermind, I had a fiddle and flashed ics 6.0.xxx.. lets see how it goes. Hopefully I havent bricked it lol
Sorry, problem.
I first tried option 1, then 4, then 8.. after its all done, no errors - I boot the phone, and its stuck on the red LG logo.. I've left it there for around 10-15 mins with no luck? Help!
Haha, actually I figured it out. I did realise I didnt have a ROM! Doh! lol rookie mistake.
I downloaded this rom and kernel(1.4ghz OC) and its running pretty well, no bugs so far(touch wood)
