This method erase all data on your system and you can brick you phone so do it carefully.
Main problem: screen
For polaris there are 3 type of screen. Usually pola100 (the old one) use panel 1, and pola 200 (09 edition) has panel 3 but ... not always works...
The best mode to test is try to install and after double reboot you have black screen change panel type.
What you need:
phone (with hardspl installed)
sd card (1 Gb or more)
time
python

if you have black screen:
reset the device and edit the pannel (E)
with onother type (1,2,3) and retry.

For androidinstall.tar e nbh look in this thread for working setups. (Choose Eclair or Froyo, Donut as problems with new kernel)
You can flash back windows (using your preferred method), if you need, but it's a shame!

You just Download NBH Editor and select the NBH with panel 3.
Then you will see that you can choose from whatever panel you would like, save and copy on SD

HTC Polaris 100 - doesn't flash
I followed you instructions exactly as you wrote them. BUt it doesn't work.
When I power on the device with camera button pressed I see the 3 color boot screen- but that is it. At this point the screen says "Loading" and nothing else happens.
What am I doing wrong?
I have been using the Haret version of Froyo and think it is great, but wanted to go the NAND route. I am hoping it will perform better.
Thanks for your help
Re-download the nbh and retry, maybe is corrupted..

It's very strange, try another time..
(remember that install-seq disable automatically if install procedure works without problems)
there only these errors? are there any "Failed to format"?
Indeed the install-seq did get renamed ti install-seq-disable and the data.img & system.img was on the sd card....
Tried three times already...humpf..
Maybe I'll try a manual install.
I can post the dmesg if you think it helps??
If you use nand install you don't need anymore data.img and system.img ...
the install-seq install all on nand.
Post your dmesg (with a link) and i'll take a look...
Hi, at first I want to thank you for this tut and all your work It walked me through the proces of getting android on my pola100.
Just wanted to ask what I can delete from my sd card after succesful flashing. Can I delete complete folder andboot? Thx for your help
All the files, but it would be a better choice to keep all file on sd...

When I used your install script for the first time it tries to install system.img and data.img on the EXT2 partition.
After restart I entered the menu and selected the NAND option.
When I re-install the nbh and using your install script (for the second time) it is working.
I have the same problem as zeeos, I have "loading..." on my screen but nothing happens. I tryed many nbh...
Try to change sd card or flash from windows application...
Hey guys,
I've followed the guide exactly, performed task 29 first and ran from a clean, formatted SD card.
I'm using the latest Froyo build and have changed it to panel 1 as I have a POLA100.
The install procedure runs smoothly until it it gets to the point where I see the Warm Donut boot screen with animation, but then it stops and just shows a black screen with white cursor in the top left hand corner, doesn't go any further. Is this normal? Do I have to wait longer? I've left it for half an hour...?
Which files did you use?
Ok i have been sure to be careful in every step of this root but when i get to recovery mode my phone states E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip(no such file or directory) Installation aborted i have triple checked that the file is there and spelled correctly has anyone had this issue or have an idea how to get by this draw back thanks

Sorry mods, if I posted in the wrong place. As you can see, I tried rooting with the oneclick root. And it tells me I have successfully rooted, but when I try to use an app which requires rooting, it tells me that I have yet to root my phone. I have also tried the other method of rooting(Where you have to update via bootscreen) and it just seems to stop halfway for some reason. I am using the motorola milestone. Does it have to do with my phone carrier? Anyone in singapore experiencing this?
I seriously need your help XDA.
Also, I get this while trying to install update.zip in boot:
E:can't open /cache/recovery/command
--install from sdcard...
finding update package...
opening update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Now I get this:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)

HTC Sensation: Can't install zip from SD card & WiFi "Error" stopped working.
Hello
I recently rooted my HTC Sensation (Pyramid) Z710e using KINGORoot and it was a successful root, unlocked bootlader and got SuperUser.
Security is still on (S-ON) as I don't need or wish to turn this off.
I have tried using CWM recovery 5.8.0.9 but flashing the ROM which was MADE for the Pyramid failed, then I tried using TWRP 2.1.0 but I got the same result, and then I also tried CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 but still the same result (error below).
The problem: When I try flashing a new custom ROM after doing data wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe it gives me the following error message:
' E: Error in /sdcard/'zipname'.zip
(Status 0 )
Installation Aborted. '
All recoveries downloaded were specific to my phone (obvoiusly) so all were named with Pyramid in them (ex. "twrp-pyramid-2.1.0.img") and so were the custom ROMs, specific to the sensation.
I read something about changing the META-INF File from the new ROM zip to a working META-INF file for the Pyramid but when I tried this it didn't work either, got me an error Status 1 message if I remember correctly.
I'm currently running a downloaded zip of ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) Android 4.0.3 which is like the OS I had before I formatted everything except SD Card. However my WiFi isn't working anymore since I flashed this downloaded ICS zip and what I mean by not working I mean that when you flip the switch to turn WiFi on it flips to On and then to Off again immediately, and in the settings menu it says there's an Error, but that's it. I tried using the Wifix manager app with the code but that didn't work at all.
Any help is greatly appreciated as to what I can do regarding why I can't install a zip successfully from recovery or as to how I can fix my WiFi problem on my Sensation.
Thanks

Flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
The command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
And I suggest to use 4ext recovery since you are on S-ON
Still not working :/
Thank you for the reply
Ok I did what you said, I'm currently trying to get the new latest version of CM12 - Lollipop for my sensation.
And yes I'm using 4ext recovery aswell.
I flashed the boot.img file in my phone and it was a success, however after wiping cache, davlik, and data and formatting all partitions except sd card I go to flash the CM12 ROM but it's giving me a status 0 error again.
Am I missing something?
Here is the log of when I try installing the CM12 zip

1.) Make sure you have at least 4ext recovery v1.0.0.6 RC2 in order to install new ROMs. Otherwise you will very likely get a status 0 error with most ROMs.
2.) I suggest to use CM11 as a daily driver, Lollipop so far has not been stable enough on the Sensation, I had different kinds of problems. Still seems to be a bit experimental to me.
WiFi + ROM (status 0) ~ Problem SOLVED!
Okay, first of all, a huge thanks to everyone that replied and took the time to help me with my problem!
The WiFi problem occurred because I had the incorrect ROM Build name even though it was like the old untampered Ice Cream Sandwich (my stock O.T.A.update ICS was 3.32.x and the one I had downloaded and flashed myself was a stock ICS to bring back my phone's old OS but it was 3.33.x).
The problem of the status 0 error was that at first I was forgetting to flash the Boot.img file in the phone, but then it was because I had version 1.0.0.5 of 4ext recovery not 1.0.0.6 (the latest) as you guys suggested. I can't believe it was that simple but it's solved atleast now and I am infact currently running the latest CM12 Lollipop on my Sensation which looks amazing but since its still unofficial it has a few small bugs.
Once again Thanks all
Happy Devving!
