hello guys ...i am trying to install/update on stock kitkat rom on my htc vivid currently having stock gingerbread...
1. i have tried using PH39IMG.zip (stock at&t rom) by copying it in sdcard...update goes smooth and installation is successful...but later when i reboot the mobile, it gets stuck on white screen which green htc logo
2. then i tried updating it using htc sync and stock at&t RUU...it gives the error 132:signature problem
3. tried installing rom via twrp and cwm recoveries ...installation is smooth without any problem but the result is same that when i reboot the mobile, it gets stuck on white screen which green htc logo
4. i also tried to restore backup via cwm recovery ...again the result is when i reboot the mobile, it gets stuck on white screen which green htc logo...
my boot loader is unlocked when i tried PH39IMG.zip, CWM and TWRP recoveries for stock rom (relocked it when required for RUU).....but S lock is ON.....do i need to have S-OFF for all this ??
I have a similar problem. I have an unlocked bootloader, S-on, an NO OS. The phone has an old version of TWRP on it that won't allow me to flash an image. The OS is gone because I removed it trying to remove a software bug in the factory OS. I'm used to flashing Samsung/ LG phones using ODIN and never had an issue just reflashing a stock ROM.
I'm just looking for a way to get the stock rom back on the phone with or without retaining the stock recovery.

Hello XDAs
I'm middle of the way on rooting my phone (Nexus One, Android 2.3.4) & flashing a custom rom (cm7 passion-V106)
I follow the tutorial at below & i've done most of the steps
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
Here is what i've done,
-Unlocking the Bootloader
-Installing a Custom Recovery Image both Amon_Ra's Recovery & ClockworkMod Recovery but Amon_Ra is not working.... i unable to boot into Amon_Ra...
-Flashing Radio 5.08.00.04 but i receive a error message that the version is not supported
- Flashing CyanogenMod via ClockworkMod Recovery but i didn't receive install sucessfull message, it only return me back to ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
- Flashing Google Addon Apps via ClockworkMod Recovery - the only flashing that i receive install complete message
After i've done the process above and its come out that i have stuck on the CM7 Loading screen (Blue boot animation screen)
There is a few thing i've noticed which might be the problem...
1:The S_Lock is till On when i boot into Bootloader mode
2: My phone is still unrooted and i unable to use the ROM Manager from Apps Market.
3: sometimes i will not able to access ClockworkMod, it only shows me the " ! " Sign with an Android logo next to it.
Can someone help me with this... i'm stuck now and unable to turn on my phone...

Unlocking the bootloader doesn't give you s-off or root. You would need a rooted rom to run root apps/superuser.
You need to wipe everything and flash the rom again in recovery (you can't have both recoveries installed at once btw). Your hboot may need updating.
Flash the radio via fastboot so you don't brick your phone. Download it again in case your version is corrupt. You might wanna flash the recovery again.
Might be easier to go back to your nandroid backup (that you must have made, right?) and have a working phone for a while until you read around the subject.
*edit* or just read the wiki lol
I'm using an international HTC ONE and has downloaded the system update to 4.2.2. But each time the phone restarts itself to install the update, it reboots into recovery mode (with the TEAMWIN logo in the background). Obviously my handset is rooted, but surely I should be able to update the phone anyway?
Incorrect. You need stock recovery to install the OTA. Otherwise flash a stock rooted 4.2.2 rom in TWRP.
Hi Guys,
I recently did the full conversion to GE using the RUU, everything went fine, no error appeared during the conversion, the device is working fine...
Except i can't access the recovery.
I reboot into the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader and then launch the recovery from there. The device is rebooting into recovery but after a while it shows the android logo with a red error triangle.
Any clue ? Can i flash the recovery considering i already made a full conversion ?
The device is S-OFF and Bootloader is in "RELOCKED" state.
Thanks !
Need to unlock your bootloader and flash a new custom recovery

Sounds like you can access the (stock) recovery.
Off topic a little but I don't get why anybody would convert a Sense phone to stock Android ... It's lacking in so many areas and custom ROMs give you everything and more. Surely it isn't just for updates from Google?
Hello Everyone.
Some days ago I tried to flash newest android revolution ROM to get Sense 6 on my phone.
After the flashing my phone stucks on boot HTC logo and I thought that ROM could have been flashed incorrectly and wanted to flash It once again.
I noticed that I cant go to the recovery ( It shows "enetering recovery" and restarts the phone) so I tried to flash other recovery with newest CWM or newest TWRP - i tried with few versions of recovery with no result... shows "entering recovery" and restarts the phone.
Is there any way to back my m7 to life?
My fastboot is tampered and unlicked if it is any help.
I would appreciate any help.

flash cwm recovery image though fastboot and sideload the ROM version 31.6
EDIT : I got rid of the problem and managed to root my phone.
I'm having trouble rooting the K3 note flashed with VIBE UI 3.0. I'm using Lenovo K50a40, Indian Version and I flashed the Dev version of Vibe UI ROM (v 3.0 from hackerpower's signature) . The flashing went all fine. Then I tried to reroot the phone but I noticed that the recovery was the stock one. So I proceeded to reflash the recovery using fastboot but it showed that the file had been downloaded but could not be flashed to the recovery partition. I thought of using SP Flash Tool to flash the recovery. I flashed AthlonX's material TWRP recovery and it flashed okay. Then on rebooting the phone I find it remains stuck on the boot logo with Lenovo written on white backdrop. There's also text written in a small black strip on the bottom left which says "=>Tool DL Image Fail" . The phone stays on that screen for a minute or two and then goes out. Earlier I couldn't boot into the phone due to the above mentioned problem. Then I waited for the battery to drain and then powered the phone on normally (without pressing the button combination for recovery mode) and the phone booted up just fine but the recovery was the stock one .
From all this, there's one thing I've concluded- that this phone has some kind of defense mechanism that protects against installing a custom recovery. This occurred even when I tried rooting on Stock 2.5 VIBE UI. That time I overcame the problem by flashing recovery using fastboot and then booting directly into the recovery instead of system. Now, however, fastboot isn't able to flash the recovery (the transfer of the image is successful but the flashing fails) .
Finally, I request anyone who can help me in any way to Root the phone or to get a recovery installed to please reply.
Thanks.
how were you able to root it

If the recovery goes back to stock then you should probably try to boot into the recovery before rebooting to system after SP Flash Tool has done it's job.
Hi so I down loaded one more time the recovery thru sp tool
But this time I took the battery out for few seconds instead of rebooting right away
And it worked
Once I rooted back the phone I tried flashing the gapps but it didn't work
I tried changing the permission s thru root explorer for the google base app as I so on a post and nothing
Any ideas
