Could I Just Do This

I am on haykuros rom right now and i am wondering if i could download a jf rom, rename it to update.zip and flash it to get back to jf, instead of doing all of that fastboot stuff.

what fastboot stuff are you talking about?
and i dont see why not, although i havnt tried, i didnt do anything using fastboot to goto haykuros 5.0.2 (i just did a wipe), so i cant see why i couldnt just do the same to goto jf 1.42

on haykuros website to go back to jf he says you have to do this
PHP:
After playing with my ROMs, and if you don’t like them or for whatever reason you feel you want to go back, you can revert back at any time using fastboot.
Open a command prompt (Start -> Run, and type in “cmd”) and type in:
adb shell reboot bootloader
This will boot you, easily, into the SPL (as opposed to power off, holding CAMERA then power on.)
Now in the same command prompt navigate to where you have your nandroid backup (you need boot.img, data.img, and system.img) type in:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system –w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
That’s it! You are now back to your original state!
i just want to put jf on it as update.zip and flash

oh gotcha, never knew that
well you could get stuck on a flashing android, but even then you could still go do the fastboot stuff, and is there a reason against using the fastboot method? ive found fastboot to be a very reliable way of doing things, and if haykuro suggests you to do it that way, then id assume thats the best possible way of doing things
if you try to just flash the update.zip, let me know how it goes, im curious

The purpose of the "fastboot stuff" is to restore from a nandroid backup. You can flash with an update.zip of any jf version and be just fine.

yes, ive done it, worked fine, except you'll want to reflash to the radio jf has out there, if you've updated the radio. Which i know i did, the old radio has issues with 1.5

Google ION Rom

I got the Google ION which was given out at the Google Conference in SF. I flashed the hero rom recently, but it's a bit slow for my taste...so I want to go back to my stock rom that I had before...but I didn't backup before so I can't restore...so is there anyone who can point me to the right direction to getting the rom back?
I tried Haykuro's Google ION rom, but the in call audio was messed up, and I tried to flash the stock rom that HTC provided (http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/google-io-device.html) but I get an error after it verifies the update package.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance, I truly appreciate it.

here u go
had the same problem u changed the hboot when flashing... take this download name it update flash it. than reapply the google rom provided by htc http://rapidshare.com/files/247838949/update.Engineering-SPL-HBOOT-1.33.2004-signed.zip

Go to HTC (global site) and download the image. It's the zip file.
unzip the file and put the image files in the tools folder of SDK
1. enter fastboot mode by pressing back+power
2. fastboot erase system -w
3. fastboot erase boot
4. fastboot flash system system.img
5. fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
6. fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. fastboot reboot

I find that the Magic Black ROM has the best speeds for the hero rom but it still is not perfect. You have to tweak it get it right.

Where you able to get you Hboot to its original version? I have a Google ION too and haven't flash it cause i'm not sure i'll be able to put all the original versions back again...

Can you explain whats the difference between this Hboot and the one that comes originally with the phone? (Hboot-1.33.3004)

I need a quick answer guys..

I just helped a buddy (this never happened before) and his mytouch is rooted. He upgraded his SPL to Haykuro's and then, through fastboot, he flashed Amon_Ra's 1.2.2 recovery image. Now, we can't get it past the mytouch screen, but can get into fastboot. Any ideas?

Try flashing another rom?

If you can get into fastboot, you can send a new image to the phone.
I don't recall the exact commands, but if you're in fastboot, you're still good.

Great man...does anyone know the commands?

Fastboot the recovery image, and then from the recovery, you can flash the new rom.

the recovery image is there. We cant into to recovery to apply the rom.

Get yourself the proper recovery.img for that phone. Not sure what it is, but a quick search will find it. Search for 'mytouch recovery' or 'mt3g recovery'.
Then with the recovery image in your SDK tools folder, run:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
That should at least get you to a point where you can flash a new ROM and commit the proper recovery image to flash using adb commands.
I can't hold your hand through the whole thing, I don't have that phone, but I've been in your situation before.

Ok we tried it, now it says... FAILED(remote: partition does not exist!)

anyone have an idea?

Try to erase Cache
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
then flash recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxxxx***.img (***I'm not sure of the version you use...)

Yeah that's exactl what we did and it worked.
The thing is, we erased the recovvery image and reinstalled it, but now again, it won't go into recovery. I have a feeling he downloaded the wrong Amos_Ra recovery. Probably one for the 32a.

Damn！Reboot again and again after flash the RADIO!

I flashed the new RADIO and SPL,but forgot to flash a new recovery in HBOOT model. The flash was totally succeed (because after fashing,I tap "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command in HBOOT and it could reboot automatically into hboot model and I can see the new RADIO and SPL had been fashed.
But here comes the problem, I try to reboot my phone into recovery model to flash the new ROM, but no matter I press HOME+POWER or BACK+POWER this time, it reboots again and again at first boot screen, and donnot have any response with the key I tapped!
God! is that bricked? No please don't tell me it's true!

so to clarify, you didn't flash a recovery image and now you don't know why you can't boot to recovery?
boot to fastboot, flash the recovery only, reboot to recovery, flash the rom of your choice and enjoy

Of course, but I cannot boot into fastboot or recovery model now.

*facepalm*
if you can't get into fastboot and you can't get into recovery you just bricked your phone.

while it's bootlooping, can you adb devices and tell us what you get?
i'm surprised that it's bricked because you forgot to flash a recovery, would have thought you could still access fastboot...

I was surprised too.
I don't know why,but I can boot into fastboot model now, but my recovery and rom are still broken.
So I tried to type "fastboot boot recovery.img" on my computer, so that I can enter recovery temporary, but here comes another trouble, it can't mount sdcard now! Display "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1(or /dev/block/mmcblk0)(No such file or directroy) E:Can't mount SDCARD
!"
So can I use adb shell to install a ROM???

calm down bro....
you didn't brick your phone...
i've same problem after I flashed the new radio SPL HBOOT and recovery...
I've used Hero Recovery...
after u flashed your handset with new radio SPL HBOOT and Recovery, the ROM file DELETED....
so, u just download new rom (that have SAME RADIO HBOOT and Recovery with your handset)
after finished the download, put the file into ROOT SDCard... and then flash it from your RECOVERY....
I've used HERO RECOVERY....
my handset is HTC MAGIC 32A
just do that, if the problem same with me....
BRAVO

better use last recovery.... (1.5.2 isn't last recovery)

I don't recall the OP mentioning what handset they have. If its the MyTouch 3G Limited Edition or 1.2 (has headphone jack on top) a new user to rooting may confuse that with a Magic 32A in which case your instructions without clarifying would surely brick his phone. (Though he's on Fido, so not likely to be a MyTouch, but he didn't even mention of it was a Magic, Hero, G1, or if it was a DVT board instead of a PVT)

You shouldn't offer instructions like this. You have no idea what phone he's using. You offer such a high risk of bricking the phone since most members here fail to read instructions before running a bunch of commands.
He's fido like the above guy said which could mean he's using a rogers magic, but it's also unlikely. Fido doesn't have Magic, so he definitely got it off someone. And since it's rootable (it is unlikely that he could get a hands on a rooted magic here since their lame update) it has a high chance that its from tmo or something which = 32B board.

my phone is htc magic with 32A and it's ENG S-ON so I can't flash a recovery through fastboot, so I have to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to use a recovery temporary just I said above. I do know that I can put a rom into a sdcard to flash it, but it can't mount sdcard now

Try waiting 30-60 seconds before accessing the SD card. Some recovery images take a while to mount the card.

Help CMW won't boot to recovery

[SOLVED] (not sure how to tag as solved in the title, if mods can do that please or tell me how)
Flashed Clockwork Mod Recovery following these instuctions
droidviews.com/2013/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-motorola-droid-razr-hd-xt925gsm/
Installed Rom manager.
Booting into recovery results in robot on his back with the triangle and exclamation point animation and stays there unless I
force reboot by holding the power button. Phone boots to stock rom or fastboot just fine.
Tried reflashing CWM just in case.
I am rooted via motochopper
Unlocked bootloader via motopocalyspe.
I factory reset my phone prior to all this so there are only a few apps installed, also SuperSU installed.
Rogers version XT925
Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

Thanks for the quick reply; yes that is the command I used to flash the recovery image to my phone.

check see if your recovery image is in the same directory as your fastboot eg Cmd > cd C:/fastboot flash recovery recovery.Img
I always paste my files directly into cd C:/ .
If you have them in a folder in c it would be ' cd C:/folder name here fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

They are in the same folder, in the mean time I actually found another thread with the same problem. I guess I didn't search hard enough the first time before posting. I found a 1 click installer for CWM/TWRP that fixed my issue. I'm guessing I may have just had a bad recovery img or something.
