After un-rooting my phone, I can't access my recovery mode from boot (gives me the phone's red no-go sign); nor the simple recovery version from the security settings (it's not there at all). The only thing I've been able to do is install updates from HTC Sync. I have a nandroid backup I want to apply so my questions are....
Is there any way to fix not having the recovery option?
Is there any way to re flash the whole phone back to complete factory settings?
Is there any way to install the nandroid backup without needing recovery?
If theres a question here I didn't ask that you think might help me as well I'd appreciate the knowledge base. Halp! This really sucks.

Did you try booting into recovery by powering off, and holding home and end call?

GREAT!
we can get some ROMs going with an sbf with root as a backup and Nandroid backup to go all the way back to stock in case you need to return the phone.
also - we can edit the frameworks to get rid of the BS massive carrier title in the notification bar.
will i still be able to install this theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041450 or at least a black notification bar? thanks

Most likely the people making those would have to get the updated framework files and redo the themes to make it work with new firmware. If you really need the theme then i'd recommend waiting for a bit to give people time to make some stuff for the update before you install it. Having root is a good start to getting there though

my apologies, im just a lil we bit to excited to get this script!

I think we will need to deodex first and repackage the theme first. Correct me if I'm wrong. Root is always the first step but the important thing here as stated above is that bell users can use cwm to backup bell then flash to this telstra verson and root to install cwm and recover to bell if necessary. I'm sure someone will port a theme with a dark bar soon This rom also has minor improvements such as 2.2.2 and hspa fix (or so the small tester army is saying).
Lol, I can't seem to type fast enough to get a response out...yesssss, refresh!

raybond25 i sent you a PM don't know if you got it but basiclly do i have to wait for a new set of deodexed files and then also have to wait for the theme to be compatible with this SBF? thanks
EDIT: also i don't mind waiting for a few weeks for some compatible themes etc. i want my fast upload speeds etc.

Yes, that is correct. I wasn't really thinking of deodex. I believe the process is essentially the same for every update, so I don't expect it will be long before this is done. If you really like your current theme setup you might as well wait a week or two before installing the new sbf.

already flashing it, lol. i did like the gingerbread theme but i can live with a white notification bar a settings menu for a couple weeks, most everything else i can get to look the same. but it shouldn't take very long to at least get a black notification bar updated to work with this SBF (few days to a week im guessing)
okay i have run into a problem, when i try and sign in to my motoblur account i get the error (an error has occurred, please try again) also i have no data connection (may just have to enter bell APN settings later) but using wifi. can someone help me with this and is there a way to bypass the setup? thanks
EDIT: managed to bypass motoblur setup using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027994 and i do have to enter bells APN settings but i think the problem was my wifi at the motoblur setup screen, its doing some crazy connect>disconnect>connect>disconnect thing so that is probably why i couldn't set up my motoblur account
EDIT 2: everything is working except the wifi issue but i never use the wifi, waiting for root script so i can restore using titanium backup!

I never set up my motoblur (on bell version haven't flashed this one yet), I think I just didn't put in my sim card and didn't connect to wifi and it let me bypass it. Bell apn should be easily found.

i just installed this rom and running great , set up the rogers APN and all my preferred settings, now just waiting for this root
wont be long
Just working out the final kinks, and testing on a fresh flash to be 100% everything is explained and working perfectly.
I'm going to flash this now, hoping it fixes some issues I was having. Once it gets deodexed I will update my theme ASAP, because I really cant stand the 2.2 look
Great tutorial, thanks!
Can you confirm that we can install cwm and return to the stock bell? ...Just in case we miss the bellbloat

Hi,
I bought a rooted & unlocked (originally on AT&T) from Swappa.
Couple questions
1) How do I remove the root and reset it to factory settings?
2) When it boots up, it shows a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 custom (with an unlocked icon), how do I remove that?
3) When it boots up, it says safestrap disabled, how do I remove that?
Thanks

ok.. so semi in reverse order.
3. Safestrap is our only recovery option to flash stuff for ATT... we have a locked bootloader and cant use normal twrp/cwm.. so when you boot up, you can select the recovery to enter and wipe the cache/davlik/etc... flash roms, and so on..
2. If you decide to keep root, you can install Xposed installer and get the Wanam module.. in there, you can go into the system option and select the option to fake the system to show it as official instead of custom and that custom icon will go away.
1. There is already a thread that tells you, basically the best bet will be to Odin back to stock and that will wipe it all..
Question is, why would you want to get rid of root?? you can go into the Safestrap and go into recovery, go to Wipe.. then slide the bar to Factory reset it... that will get rid of all the information that is on there and boot it up as if you first bought it...this way you will still have root and be able to flash the roms and make your phone ohh so much bettah

Hello. I have unlocked bootloader successfully (it says "unlocked" at screen and also "tampered"). I have all the fastboot/adb software on my windows pc and can communicate with the phone. I flash recovery via fastboot and it is successful...includes a "recovery" option under bootloader options but it just flashes a disclaimer screen and quickly goes back to bootloader screen. Without custom recovery I cannot root this phone which is my goal. I have tried to reflash other recovery images, including cmw and twrp - I believe cmw is on it now but it won't open.
Hoping someone can assist me with this.
Thank you

Reflash whichever recovery you plan to use then remove the battery and put it back in then hold the volume down button and then press and hold the power button at the same time and the phone should then boot to recovery. Make a backup after so you have something to fall back on just in case.

Are you actually holding both buttons down at the same time until the screen turns on? Don't let them go hold them both down until your screen lights up. Then select recovery but if it doesn't work then try below.
Try flashing this version of twrp https://twrp.me/devices/htcdesire510usa32bit.html ... If you're not in the USA I need to know.
Flashing twrp didn't change anything unfortunately. I recently tried re-locking my bootloader and attempted to flash stock images back to the phone but when I press "yes" to the question about voiding the warranty before unlocking the bootloader again...the disclaimer just flashes and the phone won't let it.
Also, I cannot seem to restore it to stock through the menu...nor the bootloader screen.
So now I have "tampered" and "Relocked" banners on top of bootloader screen.
One the upside, the phone itself works fine (I currently only use it for wifi).
Only thing I can think of is I originally flashed a corrupt recovery img (or incompatible version).
Hoping you or someone else has any ideas as to how to get this thing working again. I'd be happy with reverting completly back to stock and starting the process over..

Don't toss the unlock code you got from HTC you're gonna need the very first one you got keep it forever.
I'm using Boost but I think I figured it out. It ended up being a corrupt download of cmw. I actually used an ruu to get back stock and now the whole process went smoothly. Just looking for a rom that fits...got any recommendations in that area?

Funny enough I never made a backup before and constantly have to re-locate stock images due to soft bricking. I now am making backups so as not to go through that again.
I have a question perhaps you could answer -- if I install a rom that doesn't include any additional tweaks such as extended personaliation options in settings (transitions, etc, etc.)..is there a mod I can flash to achieve that?

For extended personalizing other than developer options, I'd use Xposed.

The USA model because myself and rb don't have the EU phone to even test anything on it.. We still have a lot of booting problems right now. I'd say if you wanted to help I'd have to ask what you know about building roms from source? Have you done it before?
P.S: There's already a CM-12.1 available for the EU model although it does have some issues.. You should read about it if you want to try it..

It's pretty cool and fun once you get the hang of making things and seeing them function right, and the other thing is... You'll need a pretty decent computer to compile/build with and it'll need to have at least 4GB ram (more is better) and about 50 to 100 GB hard drive space for building your rom plus the CM source code needs to be on your system too...

I've been digging around all day for an answer, but I can only find what to do for an FRP error if you're locked out of your phone, nothing about installing custom recoveries and roms.
Downloaded all the latest, and some older in case, recoveries, auto roots, and unlockers + roms even though I never got that far, lol. Tried Odin 3.11 and 3.10, nothing older yet because I'm just annoyed now.
So, I reboot into bootloader with adb or pressing buttons, Odin detects the phone fine, thow the recovery into the AP section, hit start, it starts the flash, I see a touch of a progress bar, and I get the "Custom binary blocked by frp...." error at the bottom of the info lines at the top. Phone locks up, I'll reboot with vol-/pwr or just pull the battery, and it reboots fine.
So, what do I have to do to get around this FRP so I can install a new recovery/rom? I'm really sick of 6.0.1 just not working right or doing anything it promised =/

After flashing twrp, don't let it boot system. As soon as it reboots, pull the battery. Then boot into twrp. For some reason, MM changed the process and now you cannot boot into system before booting twrp for the first time.

Ah, it does that first boot restore recovery thing that my HTC's used to do...but with those, you'd get one shot into recovery at any time if I remember right (could be 3 weeks later, but only once, lol)
