Incredible S will NOT accept other rom

I am trying to get rid of the CM7.1 on my Incredible S. I have fastboot on my Ubuntu machine and all the android libraries necessary. I tried a lot of commands from fastboot a couple of days ago but nothing happened. Miui got stuck on boot screen, CM7.2 also did the same. I want to wipe my phone. Delete everything. I am sick of the CM7.1 it is old.
My bootloader says this:
***UNLOCKED***
VIVO .. S-ON
HBOOT-2.00.0000
RADIO-3822.10.08.28_M
I want a step by step way to wipe my phone and install the STOCK ROM (but keeping my root), and using Ubuntu. I have been through dozens of tutorials, my phone wont wipe.
OFFICIAL ROMS:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/e45d6fe3dcf51228/
question: which one do I download (which one is the latest) and why do they have 100mb + difference? thanks a lot!
I need your help before I smash the phone on the wall

Since you're s-on still and unlocked, have you flashed the boot.img from the roms are flashed? Its required after a new rom/kernel flash in order to get the rom booting.

Why do I have to flash the boot.img? I download the *.zip file and flash the whole zip file using ROM manager. That should be enough

With s on you still have to fast boot flash boot.img to get the phone booting
Search how to do it, you probably did it when you flashed CM7

With the unlocked bootloader, the boot partition only gets mounted as ReadOnly when in Recovery mode, thus when you flash a ROM in recovery mode, the boot.img file does not get written to your phone.
You manually have to flash the boot.img while in FASTBOOT USB mode using the command:
fastboot flash boot [boot.img file]
Also, you stated that you want to install a stock ROM but keep your root. Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. In order to flash an official HTC stock RUU, you must relock your bootloader. If you attempt to flash a RUU on an unlocked bootloader, you will get a 155 error.
2. Depending on which stock RUU you choose to flash, that particular bootloader may or may not be unlockable.
In the Development section there are several IncS stock, rooted ROMs that were built from official RUUs. I would recommend you give those a try. You may also want to look at mike1986's ARHD ROM which is based on the IncS ICS ROM.

[Q] Cant install 4.19.401.11 stock recovery.

Hello guys, I need an help! I have reinstalled a 4.4.2 stock ROM on my phone, because I had some problems with ARHD 53.0, and decided to return stock waiting for 63.0. Anyways, I am curious about a thing. I have TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed on my phone, last firmware (4.19.401.11), stock kernel, rooted, last hboot, no fastboot option activated and, when I try to flash the stock recovery of 4.19.401.11, it always fails; it doesnt open but shows the warning red sign screen. Instead, I can install TWRP recovery without any problems. What is the reason for this? I always erase cache from fastboot before and after recovery flashing. thanks to everyone!

So the normal HTC stock recovery cant be used for flashing, etc? just for the OTA? Was just curious about, dont want to keep stock recovery but wondered about it

You need a custom recovery to flash any roms. Stock recovery is for OTA's. If you aren't worried about them I'd leave the custom recovery on

I've got a problem with my HTC ONE m7
Tried to install ARHD 81.
So I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then flashed the ROM.
Rebooted the phone and it stuck to the white HTC loading screen.
Waited for about 20mins. then rebooted the phone. tried flashing the ROM again but no luck there.
So then I did a recovery cache wipe, flashed the recovery, and flashed the ROM again but still stuck.
In desperation I did a wipe... and deleted the actual ROM.zip.
Now I've tried to Sideload the .zip (and original oexed) but get stuck/fail when nearly done.
I've tried to download all the "EU" RUU's and install them but get either error 170 (USB) or error 155 (unknown)
Also tried to download RUU.zip but that didn't work either.
So now i'm stuck! If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
Thanks!

Looks like you did not flashed arhd using twrp version 2.6.3.3.
flash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery and adb push arhd:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
command prompt will be unresponsive for the duration of the push (5-15 min)
then in twrp 2.6.3.3 select "install" and browse to find arhd zip file, select it and swipe to flash then reboot phone.
forget about using a RUU because all RUU available for your phone require S-OFF. (downgrade)

Thank you so very much!
Works brilliantly now!!
Cheers mate! :highfive:

Waiting for device msg after recovery boot
Hi. Please, help me.
So I unlocked my M7 successfully. Then I've tried to make a recovery - I used CWM: recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m7.
But something went wrong. Here's log:
C:\mini-sdk>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
But nothing happened, just screen with "root menu". I tried volume up and down - nothing. Power button - nothing. When I repeated command I got:
C:\mini-sdk>fastboot boot recovery.img
< waiting for device >
What can I do now? Why it went wrong?
In fact I don't even know what was my Android or Sense version after unlocking.

you can't boot recovery unless your on hboot 1.44
you have to flash the recovery to the phone to boot to it

I rather ask than be sorry, so...
After my newbie recovery flashing I have now TWRP and CWM recoveries. How can I delete them (then I'd like to flash CWM once and proper)?
An second question: I'm not sure how to choose between recovery mode and standard. When I want to get to recovery I do it through fastboot. But is it enough to power down if in recovery and power up for standard mode?
Edit:
When in CW Manager I go to recovery mode I recover in TWRP recovery instead of CWM.

you don't have both recovery's ..when you installed TWRP it overwrites any other recovery. If your goal is to flash roms you want TWRP 2.6.3.3 on their.
What is CW Manager and why do you need it ?

Clockwork ROM Manager. It showed both recoveries - TWRP and CWM. But then I flashed Stock Recovery, then TWRP 2.6.3.3, then ROM, then again... Well, after few hours of searching, trying, learning differences between flash and boot, and adrenaline kicks when my HTC One didn't boot or stuck somewhere I manage to flash ARHD ROM. I'm quite proud of myself. I wonder though how much trash I left on phone after all of this (yeah, we girls like to have everything in order...)
And if I can - few more questions
I noticed that battery drain is much faster - I probably should calibrate it. Is there a best-for-ARHD-app, or any should be ok?
And in some apps, like Goodreads, I have now additional menu bar at the bottom. I'm sure there is some mode for removing it (specially if stock can do that), but I can't find it.

Theirs no left over trash on the phone (except the CW rom manager)
the phone works with partitions. Only one thing can occupy the partition at a time. Whatever you flashed last is all that's their.
The menu bar you mention is only their on GPe roms .. is this what your using ? Their should be no menu bar using ARHD 81

It must be a really bad coded app ..that menu was gone by version 4.3 and your Rom is version 4.4.3 - 6.09.401.10

Yeah, they probably don't care about updating to Google changes. But it's not the same menu as 3 dot menu on Stock which was easy to hide. It's not really menu for an app, 3 dots button doesn't even work and rest of buttons is for phone navigation. Any ideas how to hide it?

I need help regarding HTC One M7_ul 801s PN0714000
This phone has problems with google processes being stopped and it has all kind of chinese apps and bloatware and I would like to install an european rom on it...Phone is s-offed, it has supercid and modelid is PN0711****
Now, I managed to find one kitkat zip file and tried to flash it with "fastboot flash zip" command but i keep getting remote:02 data length is too large...I tried renaming it to PN0714IMG.zip, it didn't help as well...
Is there anything else I should do(beside s-off and supercid) to be able to flash any rom on it, and should I rather go with RUU exe file...if so, can someone please point me out to a place where I can download official roms...I noticed that htc1gury is down...
One more thing, bootloader is locked, phone is not rooted and has no custom recovery installed, and I would like to keep it that way if possible...supercid and s-off were done with Java card, if it is an important info at all...
Please, let me know where I'm making a mistake and if you need any additional info....I apologize one more time if this is a wrong thread or if the answer was so obvious and I was so blind to find it
Tnx in advance....

will method 1 works on HTC one M8 ?

Hello there,
today I tried to install a Custom ROM on my M7 for the first time.
So I unlocked my device with htcdev.com. Btw: it wasn't possible to skip step 11 and I'm using Mac.
So my device is currently unlocked with S-ON (as it can be seen in bootloader).
I want to flash custom recovery and my problem is step 7. ("In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot boot recovery.img (this command might not with newer hboots)").
When I try this command (on Mac: fastboot-mac), my phone freezes with both ClockworkMod Touch [OFFICIAL] and TWRP. My hboot version is 1.61, maybe that's the problem as mentioned. But I don't want to flash a recovery, maybe I can't use that device after doing that.
Any tips for me?
Best regards

"fastboot boot recovery.img" was only possible on hboot 1.44. Flash your recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Use latest TWRP recovery.

thx, it worked. phew

Hello guys,
im new to the HTC world, mostly familiar with Sony devices, have a friend who has given me their HTC which isn't booting up, it only boots to the start screen then goes blank, she told me the phone was charging and there was a power surge wherever she was and since then the device misbehaves and doesn't boot past the start screen.
how can I flash it back to stock, as from my experience it seems like its a software issue.

HTC One M8 boot loop?

My HTC One M8 keeps booting to the Cyanogen Mod splash screen or boot animation, and then just restarts. . . It does this infinitely. I can access my custom recovery (TWRP) and bootloader mode. I've tried reflashing, wiping, different versions of CM and nothing works. I have a backup of stock HTC sense 6 rom that works perfectly. I really want CM11 or CM12 to work but it just keep rebooting! And yes, I am flashing the boot.img whenever I flash a Rom.
Any help, thanks!

Correct. It also appears he needs to update his firmware/Hboot, as well.

When to flash new boot.img?

so.. simple question but I'm not sure of the answer..
I unlocked my boot loader and flashed my HTC with cyanogenmod and the relevant boot.img that came with it. now I've reinstalled back to android revolution and the sense os to be able to properly back up my contacts and photos without requiring HTC sync manager...however when I went back to android revolution Rom.. I didn't 're flash my boot.img..
when is it actually necessary to flash a new boot.img when changing roms?
also.. could anyone clarify for me... I'm currently s-on so boot.img can only be flashed through fastboot correct?
and if I was s-off.. when I install a custom rom it'll auto install the boot.img yes?
thanks

/boot isn't protected on the M7 so you don't have to flash the boot.img after flashing a rom, its flashed at the same time the rom is flashed from recovery. Won't hurt if you flash it again but its not necessary. If you want to manually flash the boot.img you can do it from fastboot or from twrp recovery. There is an option from twrp to flash .img files to your /boot or /recovery partitions. So yes you can flash boot and recovery from recovery. In both cases, S-OFF isn't required, unlike other HTC phones.
