My legend is was running on Azure 1.0.1 and I was reading about a overclocked kernel. This post: Customized stock FroYo kernel 2.6.32.17-g732a780.
So i downloaded it, selected it in the clockworkmod recovery and flashed it.
When i reboot my legend now you will see the htc logo and before it can actually start the rom it reboots again.
When i try to go to the bootloader it displays a strange red "!" sign and an icon of a phone.
Does anyone know what i should do right now?
Thanks for your help.
It was answered several times by now...you could use search, right?
At the red sign, hold volume up and press power till a blue menu appears. Select "recovery" from there and you'll go to ClockworkMod recovery screen. You can restore from a backup (made one before right?) or flash another zip/rom from there if you have it on the sdcard. If not, you can push one with adb command and flash it afterwards

It says: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
The blue screen does not have the option to go to the clockworkmod recovery.
Options are:
1. Reboot system now
2. Apply sdcard:Update.zin
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition

You choose option nr. 2.. Apply sdcard:Update.zip..
This will load the Clockworkmod Recovery.. (from the update.zip) which is located at the root of your sd-card... If it is not.. then you are screwed..

My captivate won't boot into CWM recovery, even when directed by the Rom Manager app.
Completely stock rom, rooted. I've already flashed the latest version via the app.
Check your internal sd card for an update.zip file. If it's not there, I believe it's in the clockworkmod folder, named 'recovery-update.zip'. Copy and paste it to the root of your sd card and rename it update.zip. You should be good to go.

After this I reboot into recovery mode and flash update.zip?
Yes, reboot into recovery. Use the volume rocker to scroll to 're-install packages' and press the power button to select it. It will probably reboot you right back to the same screen again, with the blue and yellow letters, if it does, re-install packages again and that should boot you right into clockwork recovery. All the text in clockwork is green, so you'll know when it's a success.

OK, I get to that, do a phone reboot, tell it to reboot into CWM and it still reverts back to the samsung recovery screen??

So have you seen the actual CWM recovery screen? Black background and green words? If you're still seeing the samsung recovery with the blue and yellow words, re-install packages again.
And double check to make sure that the update.zip is in the root/main part of the internal sd card.

Yes, I had made sure that the update.zip was in the right place, I did see the black background and green words, and I've flashed the update multiple times (have also tried redownloading, renaming again and reflashing). No dice.
Oh, ok, well that completes the process of booting into CWM. Now what do you need to use CWM for?
If you're flashing ROM's:
find a ROM that you want
download it
place it on your sd card
scroll down and select 'install zip from sd card'
then scroll and select 'choose zip from sd card'
then find the rom and select
then confirm your action by scrolling and selecting the rom again.

Well, I would select a rom to flash, but it would reboot into the samsung recovery screen; I can get to CWM by flashing the update again, and then flashing the zip from there, but I assume that's not the correct way to do it?
Yes, actually that is the correct way to do it. Sometimes you have to flash the update twice in order for samsung recovery to take you into CWM.
Just get into CWM and flash from there.

Ah, alright, I thought what I had been doing was abnormal. Thanks a ton.
No problem at all. Glad I could help and glad it worked for ya!
I'm rooted on stock captivate running 2.1 update 1. The app I'm using is ClockworkMod ROM Manager. I'm trying to back up everything before diving into custom roms.
When I click on "Backup Current ROM" I get the prompt for the name I want to save the backup as and hit "OK" but it never creates a backup. This is what comes up on the screen:
Android system recovery <2e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
VOL UP - up
VOL DOWN - down
POWER - select item
By pressing the power key while pressing and holding the volume up and down keys, you've enter the system menu.
If you have accessed this menu by accident and continue bootin your phone, please select Reboot system now. Please use the volume key to scroll and power key to confirm.
reboot system now <<< highlighted

Anyone have any idea why this isn't working for me? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You have to use the reinstall packages option. It should then boot to clockwork recovery then from there you can do the backup. You may need to use the reinstall packages option twice. Once it boots up clockwork though you are good to go.
Thanks, I'll give that a try. Any custom rom suggestions? Looking for something close to stock but Foyo.
I'm currently running Fire Fly. So far it's great, won't be impressing anyone on the benchmark tests but it's very smooth and quick responding.
Edit: just noticed you're looking for as close to stock as possible. I don't have any suggestions for as stock as possible, sorry.
Chose the reinstall packages option 4 times and still no backup stored. Any idea what could be wrong? Any other way to get a complete image of what is currently on the phone?
In ROM Manager select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" then "Reboot into Recovery"
Once you're in the new recovery console you'll see the option "backup and restore"

I'm at work and don't have signal inside, it says it needs internet connection. I will try later after work. Do you think that not having internet has been my problem all along?
Yes. It has to download a phone specific ClockworkMod, but only needs to do that once.
Yeah, once I was home it worked like a charm, just need data connection. Thanks for the help.
I can not format the USB mass storage when I do it so files are restored back. I have tried the root background and factory recovery will not help.
And the firmware update does not help

Hi,
I tried to do a factory reset, but after rebooting the phone have the previous app and data, i can't erase the internal SD even with the unit plugged in my pc, any Ideas to short out this problem? Thank you in advance.
..
In recovery go in /mount and storage then /format sd-card ...
hope it helps
Alright I am bloody confused here. Just what exactly are do you folks want to do? Do you want to format your internal storage, which is where your photos are normally stored, or do you want to factory reset the phone and uninstall all non system apps? Regarding the former, you can't do it with stock recovery. You have to either A) use a custom recovery or B) plug it into PC and just format it as you would do a usb thumb drive. As for the latter, A factory reset will uninstall anything that's not a system app (system apps are installed in the folder /system/app rather than /data/app) and wipe all app data including system app data. If you find that it's restoring apps and data, make sure you are not using the Google restore feature.
In any case, do not attempt to wipe the system partition. Doing so is similar to formatting your computer's C:/.

First of all, thank you for the answer, and secondly sorry for my basic english.
what happens is that any app works, I rooted the device and installed the JV5 version, apparently the system starts but appear a lot of windows related with the impossibility to load the different programs that the device need to work properly, I'm trying to upload some pics. I hope you could understand me, and sorry again.
Ps: What is shown in the last picture is something like: Sorry the application XXXXXX has been inexpedtly interrupted. try again.
Are you using titanium backup to restore app data? Sometimes that happens if you restore data for system apps from a different version.

Nop, I used the system recovery at the first time, as I couldn't recover it properly I was searching in different forums an decided to used ODIN to install the original version of Android, I think is Gingerbread 236 jw5 ¿?, after that the former apps I Had like Endomondo, Sygic navigator, Whatsapp, or so still appearing in the main screen, but don't work and the screen shown the message I upload yesterday.
Sorry, thank you for your answers.
I'm totally new in this subject (Here in Spain: Novato) I feel the problems is like the internal memory is locked and I can't handle on it
What files did you flash? And how many files were there in total

I followed this steps:
Step 1: Start Odin
Step 2:
a. Select PIT file as 's1_odin_20100513.pit'
b. Select PDA file as 'PDA_DXJV9_Deodexed_Zipaligned.tar'
c. Select PHONE file as 'PHONE_DXJV9.tar'
d. Select CSC file as 'CSC_OLBJV9.tar'
Step 3: Under Options: Check Re-partition, Check Auto Reboot and Check F. Reset Time
Step 4: Start the phone in the download mode
Step 5: Once ID:COM/phone is 'Added!!' click Start
Step 6: You will see a lot of red text after the flash is done, don't panic, just do a 'wipe data/factory reset' and reboot the device when done.
Step 7: Let the device boot all the way then turn it off.
Step 8: Re-enter Download Mode and re-flash only the CSC file [Step 2 d] without pit and without re-partition.
I fail to see the purpose of step 8. It seems unnecessary.

I was unable to fix it, so I decided to change mobile. Thank you all of you for your support.
Hi,
I have an HTC One m7 on T-Mobile, rooted and running Android Revolution 82.0.
I messed up, now I need help to dig myself out of this hole. I do not understand some of this, this could be partly due to my stupidity.
I backed up my system and boot in twrp before i had done any of this.
Last night I wanted to update TWRP. I downloaded "TWRP manager" through the play store, I opened the app and went down to "install twrp" - i installed TWRP 2.8.1.0 through the app, it said flashing successful. Everything was fine. I rebooted my phone into recovery to verify that it had worked. The correct twrp version was displayed at the top. I rebooted my phone into system. After the boot sequence it loaded into the first time run set up manager (by this i mean the thing that comes on when you turn on your phone for the very first time). This shocked me. I went through the procedure to "set up" my phone. All my apps were gone, all settings, everything. It looked as if it were brand new. Even the pre-loaded apps for android revolution were gone. I rebooted back into twrp recovery, went to the file manager and went to the main directory "/". I looked for the folder "/storage" but it wasnt there. I went to go restore my phone to the backups i had made before i tried updating twrp to see if that would help. Nothing changed. after this, I reinstalled the rom through TWRP without wiping anything. All my apps were still gone, all settings were gone, yet all my photos were still there. All of my files for the apps are all there, they are all in the internal storage, all the folders are still in /data , i do not understand what happened. I am also concerned that when I am in recovery and i am in the file manager i cannot see "/storage", as if it is hidden from the recovery file manager. Also, when i select "backup" and it gives me options to backup system, data, etc., under data it only shows 756 mb of data, i have at least 2000 mb, I am wondering if my phone is accessing the storage somewhere else? Please help me find out how to fix my errors. I wish to go back to where i was, or at least figure out what happened to increase my knowledge and NEVER do something like this again.
for some reason which i do not know, my sdcard files are saved in different places? i assume this is just how it's supposed to be. these loacations are : "/storage/emulated/0" - "/storage/emulated/legacy" - "/storage/sdcard0" - "/sdcard" (all of these folders have all of the same files etc.)
Thank you,
Evan

The answer to your mysterious factory reset lies here in this link. For further information see the link in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55741117&postcount=83118
When in the TWRP file manger your /storage is a Folder called /sdcard.
And the multiple storage locations. Not all of these are actually physical locations you only have one memory chip with one set of files, the other locations are just emulated/virtual copies of your main storage
If you found my post helpful, no need to say thanks. There's a button for that

So what I've gathered from this, is that all my apps are gone forever because I forgot to backup the data. And that is because "Then along comes the recent TWRP builds (2.7.1.2+) that read the bcb on boot. You flash it and boot into recovery, TWRP starts, reads the wipe_data command out of the bcb and proceeds to wipe the /data partition."? Also should I run the reset script in this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54370858&postcount=492
since I have a non-sprint htc one I'm not sure if this would do me harm or not. The reason I am asking all these questions is because I want to make sure I don't do something stupid again.

Yep that's about right. Running the script shouldn't do any harm but since you already experienced the Factory reset. The command should no longer be in your bcb anyway. As far as I'm aware this only happens once after a new flash and shouldn't repeat every time you use recovery.
But using the zip to clear your bcb is not a bad idea for piece of mind.
