[Q] Force close and hangs after installing any custom Roms

i Unlocked the bootloader form HTCDev.com according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105 guide to the point but after unlocking the bootloader i installed RunnyDroid v5.1 it gave me force closes of almost every app and even the screen hung while locking or unlocking the mobile (the power button ) .,,,so i tried virtuos rom even that gave me the same thing...what could be the reason ..??? rom is not overclocked and i have HBoot 2.000 my incredible s is S-ON by the way

I think the kernel(boot.img) doesn't installed very well because S-on with unlocked devices must flash the boot.IMG via the computer manually.
Command here
"fastboot flash boot boot.IMG"

Which recovery you have installed?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA

Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4

Try to install 4EXTrecovery. Revolutionary recovery is too old.

But can the recovery be an issue..???? can i directly flash 4ext recovery over CWM ..???

Maybe a filesystem problem. Now all roms are preformatted the devices with ext4 fiflesystem for a better performance. I think revolutionary recovery doesn't support ext4 so the FC problem is occurred.
Also Android Revolution HD will flash the latest recovery after install the Rom. This Rom is modified from the stock. So the Rom may boot successfully. For more details, take a look on its description and the changelog.

Yes the recovery can be an issue. CWM 4.01 is an older version. For ARHD you definitely need 4Ext recovery.

Or you can extract the zip file and flash the recovery manually.
Command here
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Just go on 4ext.net on your phone and download the updater. Then click install and it will over write your old recovery with the latest one

Thanks Brother...lets hope now it wont force close every now and then

I'm using hboot 1.16. I did flashed the runnydroid 5.1 and flashed the boot.img found in rom.zip/system/..
Then i got stucked at htc white screen. I wipe all partitions again, flash the rom and reboot, it worked well. Weird hboot :S

[Q] Trying to understand RUU's...

I'm trying to figure out how to return to stock, if I ever wanted to... I'm on 3 Network, UK (H3G)
I'm relatively new to Android, never used an RUU. I can't seem to find the correct RUU for my network anywhere. I have a Nandroid backup for 3 UK (1.28.771.x) from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874 but it doesn't contain the stock recovery - it has CWM
Anyone know where I can find a stock recovery.img and if I can just flashing the stock recovery.img once I restore the nandroid?
I don't really understand the concept of the page above regarding RUU, OTA's, etc. so any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks

I'm going to bump this, sorry!

Look inside the nandroid backup folder, is there a recovery.img in there? If so you can just flash that in bootloader by using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and you'll be back to stock.
If the image isn't in the nandroid, then ask around..see if anyone can provide you with a recovery image of your RUU.
Infact I think all stock recoveries might be the same..so just download it from the sticky and try

But didn't he just say that the recovery inside that Nandroid Backup is CWM rather than the stock one? Flashing the recovery.img by using fastboot will just flash CWM for him.
Listen, mate, I'd download any 1.28 RUU and extract the stock recovery.img from it and then flash it in fastboot. How would you extract it from the RUU? Well, that's done by following this tutorial: https://sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu
You'll end up with a rom.zip which has recovery.img, boot.img, and everything else inside it.
I am not sure if that's going to work, but I don't think recovery differs from CID or carrier to another, it's just the same stock recovery (especially since they're both 1.28).

Assistance is needed with getting OTA

I'm on stock and I unlocked my bootloader/rooted my device. I want to get the OTA update for my device but because I have CWM I can't install. I tried to flash the stock recovery but when I reboot into recovery I just get a black screen. I read that I have to relock my bootloader. Wouldn't that erase everything on my device? Either way I need assistance in getting this OTA update taken care of.
Thanks.

You should RUU it, it will wipe everything from your phone, install stock ROM and recovery

Being your already on stock rom, you should be able to just re-lock and install stock recovery and not lose anything, other than root of course. Only lose everything when unlocking

and that's "fastboot oem lock" right?
relocked it and tried to flash the stock recovery and I'm getting a failed error.

It would make sense to relock the phone after attempting to flash the recovery. If the phone is locked, system, boot, and recovery partitions cannot be touched.

Yes that is right and yes flash stock recovery first.

I thought you could fastboot flash recovery even while locked.

Alright well it turns out that all you need to do is flash stock recovery. I made the mistake of locking the bootloader before flashing the recovery. I could've saved my data by just flashing stock recovery while the bootloader was unlocked. I unlocked the bootloader which erased my data, I flashed stock recovery and installed the OTA update. All while bootloader was unlocked. Thanks for the assistance guys.

Your welcome. Glad you got it to work.

[Q] [HELP] Error while Unrooting HTC One m7

While trying to unroot my HTC one, I have followed the steps to relock the bootloader,which it worked with no errors.
I have used the following RUU <M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__039 / 1.29.980.2 (Australia Unbranded ) "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874"
While trying to flash the RUU using command prompt, I always got "Signatures error" while trying to check the signature.
I am currently using "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023" Custom RUU and it is Rooted as mentioned above.
PLEASE HELP!!!! I would like to Unroot my HTC One M7
Thanks

1) You aren't using a ruu, but you're using a backup.
So, you have to use it with the CWM recovery!
2) Yes, you're using the "stock" rom with root.

THANKS!!!

Your LEGEND!!!!! Can you help me on how would I do it with CWM recovery?
THANKS HEAPSSS

You have to download the cwm recovery and flash it in fastboot.
After, booting in this, and restore the backup.

One more question!!!
Before I flash the RUU using CWM recovery, I need to Lock the bootloader right? and if i lock the bootloader, will i still be able to access the CWM recovery? to flash the STOCK ruu?

bootloop after flashing firmware.zip?

so, i just flashed the modified firmware.zip for 3.09 with twrp recovery, and everything was a success, until i rebooted..now im stuck in a bootloop.
bootloop as in the splashscreen when you turn on the device shows, and then it restarts
i followed everything right, relocked bootloader, etc etc
im soff, i once flashed a custom hboot (without the warning text), but i dont think that should be a problem with soff..
i have super cid, so what did i do wrong? and what can i do to fix it?
i was thinking of flashing cwm and restoring a previous backup i made, but when i try flashing it, it says "not allowed', so i cant even get cwm recovery.
so basically my question is, how do i get out of this bootloop after flashing the latest firmware.zip?

Maybe you can't flash a recovery because you are relocked?

twrp flashed fine..just cant get cwm to flash..so that shouldnt be the problem. regardless, how can i get out of this bootlooop

You can't flash cwm because you relocked the boot loader.
You're stuck in a bootloop because you can't have a locked boot loader and custom recovery. It will always cause a bootloop.
Unlock the boot loader and it will boot fine.
