Latest Virtuous Quattro ICS rom

Hi all
I haven't racked up 10 posts thus i can't post in there so I'm forced to ask here =(
I just downloaded the latest virtuous quattro rom however after having downloaded it two times already, when I try to unzip the file on my computer, it tells me that the file is corrupt and i'm unable to unzip the file. The reason I need to unzip it is because I need to manually flash the boot.img as I haven't rooted my phone.
Does anyone have any solutions for me? Is it just me?
Thanks guys

Maybe I should mention that I've flashed the beta versions of that rom without any problem. I've always done it through manually flashing the boot.img through fastboot

No problems with extracting. Your zip file is probably corrupted.

Check md5 checksum, might be a bad download

Might be the software that you're using to unzip...

I'm not sure how I should go about doing that. Can you show me how to do that?
The software I'm using to unzip should be fine, I used that to unzip the other beta versions and they worked fine.

I did think so but I've downloaded it a few times now and it's done the same thing. I also downloaded another rom and the same thing has happened. So I'm not too sure now what the problem is...

If it helps, when I tried to flash the rom through clockworkmod recovery, the installation was aborted. I suspect the zip file is corrupted?

Obviously the zip was corrupted and it seems like you're downloading from a cache, try to clear your browser cache and redownload from a different mirror, or using a different browser.

[Q] Problem installing MIUI 2.5.25 using Rom Manager

Hello,
Today I tried to install MIUI 2.5.25 for my N1 using Rom Manager.
After it's installed it automaticly boots into recovery mode, so i pressed "reboot system now" but it booted into recovery again. So I had to restore my backup.
What could be the problem?

did you do a full wipe ? before installing rom maybe that why is causing your problems

Yes, I checked the options Wipe Data and Cache and Wipe Dalvik cache in Rom manager. Or do I need to do this a different way?

you have to flash it from recovery and do wipe in recovery find the rom you downloaded in rom manger in sd in download folder i think not sure but save that zip/rom in your pc then do full wipe then try installing rom again

That didn't help, it boots into recovery again. Anything else i could have done wrong or forgot about?

umm not that i know of did you ask people on that rom thread ? that will surely help you you did do a full wipe correct ? your using CWM Recovery or Aroma Recovery ? try using aroma if that dont help then use 4ext recovery and if that fails im sorry bro i can't help you anymore

Okay, no I haven't asked yet. Yes I use CWM. Thanks anyway!

blackrose or non blackrose version?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

I don't know anything about hboot, I just rooted my phone and than I downloaded MIUI and installed it. So I also guess non blackrose version.

As urs is a non blackrose partition its stock.so its not hboot prob..why dont ur try it from the beginning..using recovery..wipe all 2x then flash zip
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA

Still the same problem. Also if I boot into recovery I get a warn sign if it boots and than it doesn't starts recovery mode. If I install CWM again (using rom manager) I can boot into recovery without any problems. I had this a few times now. Could that be the reason?

If you shut down the phone, then hold the trackball and power, you should boot into bootloader (hboot).
You should then have an option to boot into recovery.
ROM Manager only allows you to reboot into CWM and no other recoveries, as far as I know.

Check out the ROM thread, I guess the latest MIUI needs special disk partition. Also post ROM related issues in the thread for quick and appropriate response.

I read about it already, and i wanted to post it there too. But I need to have posted at least 10 posts to post on the development page. But isn't it strange there is a non blackrose version if that one doesn't work anyway? And do you know anything about the warn sign I told about?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA

I'm trying to install blackrose now. I downloaded the latest version but when I launch the blackrose.exe it automaticly closes again. What could be the problem?
BTW, does my bootloader need to be unlocked for this?

No. its not compulsion for bootloader to be unlocked. might be due to bad download. try downloading again and turn off ur anti virus program while doing it.
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk

Thanks! Turning off my anti virus did the trick

Glad it worked buddy. the reason behind it is that Blackrose uses some exploit and it makes antivirus program consider it a threat, while it really isnt

pull it from the rom zip(boot)and put it in your fastboot directory.

i have not had to install a rom since i got my htc evo 4g lte last year. this is a new step to me. im assuming this is done before installing the rom?

boy, i don't know at this point, you may have borked the radio, i would try to ruu, get back to stock and start all over.keep in mind if you run an RUU you have to relock the bootloader to do so. then you can unlock again and go from there.install recovery etc/

Also, I suggest using the revone s-off method from the revolutionary team. It allows you to flash ROMs more easily without flashing the boot.img separately. The link to the thread on how is in my web signature.

[Q] HTC One (M7) Telus ROM

Hey guys
Question
so im an idiot and didnt make a backup of my TELUS stock firmware on the one, so i am stuck on custom roms instead of sense, which i like oddly.
does anyone have a CMW backup of the TELUS stock rom?
i would kiss you.
hell if you get it i will give you some money for a beer or 2.
cheers!
curtis
:good:

I haven't been able to find a stock ROM from Telus, as I've been looking myself. However, I did find a HTC One Telus stock nandroid backup which will work too; that's what I used.
Let me find the link for you....okay well I haven't made 10 posts yet so I can't post links....Hopefully I wont get in trouble for this.
bugsylawson[DOT]com/files/file/1824-m7-twrp-nandroid-backup-cid-telus001-1296615/
Its a TWRP nandroid backup so if you use CWM you'll have to install TWRP.
Hope this helps!

You probably have to extract the .rar to the twrp folder. On the computer you need to extract the rar file and adb push the contents to your twrp backup location.
Next time think before you wipe system. Then you won't run into problems like these.

[Q] Flashing kernel through recovery problem

Hi.
After unlocking my HTC, installing recovery and a custom ROM (ARHD 13.3) I have a problem with flashing kernels through recovery. Every time when it starts, phone reboots into system, just after the flashing starts, withough flashing the kernel. Any ideas?

Anyone? :-\ tried reflashing Rom with full wipe, tried other roms, changed the recovery...always the same.

Sounds strange! What kernel are you trying to flash? Did you also make sure your download's MD5 is correct; could be a bad download.

Yes, md5 sum is correct. I'm trying to flash anything strange is that after full wipe and reflashing Rom I can flash anything before first boot. After first boot can't flash zip files, like Rom cleaner or kernel. Phone always reboots just after flashing starts.
Once I've found that someone had such problem and formating something through adb helped...but can't find this info again
I tried flashing almost every kernel available.

I think Rom Cleaner should be flashed before first boot anyway, but not the kernel. Are you clearing cache and dalvik before trying to flash?

Yes. I even clean cache through sdk :-\ yep, the Rom cleaner should be flashed before first boot, but anyway it shouldn't reboot even later as I think.

Weird
Just for the sake of trying, a couple of ideas:
1- wipe the cache from recovery (not fastboot) and also wipe dalvik, then immediately flash kernel
2- perhaps there's a permission issue with the zip(s) / folder(s)
EDIT: perhaps you need to update recovery?

I reflashed recovery, tried CWM, TWRP...same on both think about going back to stock with RUU, then trying everything again from the start:-\
First advance...tried.
Second...U mean fixing permissions? Don't know if it's related to that problem, but of course will try.

Though I don't think custom recovery would have issues with permissions (since it's su privilege), it could be the folder where your zip files are doesnt have rw permission, and the recovery attempts to access the folder, is unable to, and therefore just reboots.
Try putting the zip file in a different directory (or maybe even the root folder) and try again.

In root folder? Don't understand where exactly...tried to place it on different locations in storage.

Obvious question, but the kernel is for your version of Android isn't it? You're not flashing a 4.3 kernel on to 4.2.2?

of course not I'm on android 4.2.2 and flashing the 4.2.2 kernel version
---------------------------
as for now everything's ok. Frankly speaking I didn't do anything new. reflashed recovery for the third time i believe, did the full wipe also few times, flashed arhd, rom cleaner and the kernel one by one and it works...for now
---------------------------
and no..it's still the same. After first boot, I rebooted into recevery, tried to flash different zip and what....and reboot just after flashing:/ it makes me sick...:/

Thanks to one and all. I was facing the same issue of being unable to install the Bulletproof kernel on my HTC One having ViperOne 4.2.0 custom rom and TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery.
I followed the advice here and wiped 'Dalvik cache' and 'cache' and (without rebooting) directly dirty flashed the Bulletproof kernel which did the trick.
Hope this helps someone else too.

Got the same problem. Tried with TWRP 2.6.6.3, 2.6.6.4 & actual CWM with failed tries to flash kernel,bootscreens,themes & the 360 camera fix.
Also tried to flash these recovery via fastboot and at least the m7&m7ul versions.
It happens suddenly
Btw: i'm on an tampered,unlocked hboot 1.54
Any help or ideas are much appreciated
