Hey!
First let me say that I know all about flashing SGS and SGS2. Im a proud owner of SGS1 from day 1.
Last week I decided to finally flash my brothers i9023 so I flashed stock 4.0.3 with stock recovery. Then we wanted to flash some XDA stuff and I don't understand these guides...
I found one guide where you get superuser access with one click and usb cable, I did that, then I flashed CWM through Rom manager and flashed 4.0.4 from evilisto (v1.1) and it worked. Now I'm trying to flash some others, like nuhetri reloaded or pixel rom and I'm always getting stuck at boot animation. It just keeps "working" and nothing happens for 5+ minutes.
What am I doing wrong? Please help!
Best Regards
Luka
(in general)in recovery wipe data factory reset, format cache, davlik cache, system, boot. then flash new rom.
with nuhetri i think there is a bug where your not supposed to wipe data coming from another rom only davlik cache and cache then flash nuhetri

What now?
your using updated version of cwm? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22044793&postcount=82
steps
put rom on sd card
reboot into cwm recovery
wipe data, cache, davlik cahe, and format system and boot
install zip from sd card
choose rom you put on sd card
should say install from sd complete or something like that
reboot system now
let it boot into new rom (should not take more than 3-5 min)

I did all that before... Im going to redownload, maybe its corrupted but I doubt it. Is it maybe because I have locked bootloader or something? Beacause I didnt use that long guide with "android SDK" in General, but some other very quick guide. Just plug USB, enable debugging and run some script and thats it.

do yourself a favor, do it the right way the first time and save yourself headaches in the future. its not hard. fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), flash a custom recovery, flash a custom rom(and gapps) via the recovery, then boot up. thats it.
If you are more of a visual type of guy I suggest going on YouTube and search "zedomax". He has some really simple videos on how to root your nexus s, he has a couple videos on how to root but make sure its for a GSM nexus.
Simms got all in a simply way.
Unlock boot loader
Install or flash cwm
install the new stuff from SD card
reboot
Can anyone tell me or please provide a link to what unlocking bootloader does please.
Best Regards
Excuse my ignorance, I'm pretty new to this and I might not be of any help at all... but is it even possible to flash a custom recovery without unlocking the bootloader on the Nexus S?
I followed the instructions found on the NexusShacks.com website (How to root Nexus S or Nexus S 4G on ICS or Gingerbread) without any issues at all (sorry, can't post links due to low postcount :/)
No problems for me, I had zero experience with this sort of stuff but I have flashed a new ROM a every few days now without any issues whatsoever.

Hello everyone. I have a little issue with my phone. I had JellyBam installed and I wanted to run an RUU to restore my phone and do a hardware warranty claim before I leave the country. I did a nandroid backup with TWRP before starting the process.
After I flashed the stock ville recovery i remembered i need to unlock my phone so I could use it in foreign countries. I wanted to use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1693491
I flashed TWRP and wanted to restore my nandroid backup. It said it failed and I dont believe it told me why it failed.
So then I thought I dont really need my old settings I just need a rooted phone to run some codes in the terminal and get the unlock code. So I decided to flash the jellybam zip folder along with its corresponding kernel. After rebooting it was stuck on the HTC logo.
When I tried to wipe Dalvik cache it said it failed. Then I was wondering if it was just from the recovery so i tried it with CWM. After selecting advanced, wipe Dalvik Cache. it didnt show the list of NO,NO,NO,NO,YES,NO. and it didnt say it failed either.
I think I hit a dead end... could someone please help me? Is the Dalvik cache gone or something?
Oops could any of the moderators close or delete this thread? I meant to post it in the HTC one S section.
Hello,
i can access only to bootloader and recovery. Try several times operations with change recovery, clear storage and hard reset.
The problem is that i see SD-EXT in recovery ( TWRP v.2.6.3.0 ) but only like a folder, no size, no nothing. Last time the problem was mount... and i resolve it but now i can't. Only see internal SD (in recovery) with 50 MB memory. The phone is ville S4 16GB, S-OFF, Unlocked, H-boot 2.16.
Lost over a day with try many solutions of my problem but didn't made it. Please HELP me with some ideas or better - solution of my problem.
p.s. Sorry for my bad english.
Edit step by step:
1 fastboot stock recovery... or i think its stock because i try with several recovery witch i think is stock (and may be here is my problem)
2 when i "clear storage" phone is reset in TWRP 2.6.3.0 don't know why...(after that step if i go in bootloader and try go enter again in recovery i get red triangle)
3 i go factory reset and reflash new recovery and can't mount SD-Ext
i go in CWM go wipe dalvic cache and i take again E:unknown volume for path [ext-sd]...
Please tell me where i go wrong, if some of u have stock recovery please give me link ot it.

Go on hboot 2.15 and follow step for installing roms on 2.16 hboots i'm sure you'll solve the issue! Try connecting the phone to your pc and formatting the sdcard if this does not work try the first thing i said.
last night i try hboot 2.15 from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274&nocache=1&z=674317537341266
but i think they are for Ville/C2. After i try hboot 2.15 internal storgage go 10GB and again cant mount sd-ext (i uploud ROM in internal memory and try to install it but get only Error) and i go again at hboot 2.16.
If u can give me hboot2.15 for Ville (S4) because cant find another.
EDIT1:after flash new firmware with hboot2.15 (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755) again get 10GB internal storage and cant mount SD-EXT.
I'm totaly retire.....think i try everything for this days.... is some one have any idea.. please share.
EDIT2: After formating this 10GB internal storage i install Maximus HD10 4.2.2 android and i got only 2GB space.... dont know how this happened...but again have fully working phone with the diference that now is with hboot2.15 and only 2GB or memory...
EDIT3: now i have problems with SIM - after few calls my conversations stops and phone show message with NO SIM but have signal.. after few try to recall i have call again and after 1-2 min call stops and have again this message for NO SIM
The Question is: what i need to reflash to eliminate this problem, radio may be?

With HDMaximus you should only use TWRP 2.6.1 which is mentioned in the OP.
If u would bck to stock from hboot 2.16 u must flash any ICS RUU in fastboot for ur CID.
Then u can follow the installation for HDMaximus again, but its mandatory that ur S-Off

Can someone help me root my HTC one mini at&t version, it's up to date on the latest firmwire 4.4.2. I tried rooting it before using this tutorial right here htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux
Got as far as installing custom recovery but when I install SuperUser it shuts off constantly, so I had to revert it back. The bootloader shows Unlocked "tampered" and S-On. So could anyone help? I'm using cricket on this phone and hoping to root it so I can switch roms (thinking that'll solve the MMS problem)

You don't need to root it to install a custom ROM. YOU only need to unlock it (through HTC Dev) and install a custom recovery (TWRP). If you reboot to bootloader and post the hboot version you're on, I can point you to the correct files.

So do you want to root your existing ROM or flash a custom one? Most custom ROM's come rooted already.
The best custom sense ROM is Insert Coin. (IMO) You can download it from the Android Development section.
Before you flash:
1) Download Insert Coin rom and copy it to your device
2) Make a backup in twrp and test it (it sounds like you already have a good backup)
3) copy the backup folder to your computer just in case you wipe out your SDCard...in fact, I'd backup everything you don't want to lose, including the backup. Nothing you do should wipe your sdcard, but better safe than sorry.
To flash:
1) Boot to recovery (TWRP)
2) Go to Wipe
3) Go to Advanced Wipe
4) Wipe the following: Davlik Cache, System, Cache & Data (DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE-this is your sdcard)
5) Back out the the TWRP homescreen
6) Go to Install
7) Find the Insert Coin rom, select it, and swipe to start the install
8) Follow the onscreen menus for install options (since you already wiped everything, you can select the option to NOT wipe prior to install)
Notes on Insert Coin - if you use handsfree bluetooth calling, you need to download one of the 4.4.2 versions of the ROM (3.0.7 or 3.0.8). I usually use 3.0.7, personally. 3.0.8 had some issues with paid apps not installing properly and 3.0.7 is pretty much bugfree imo. If handsfree bluetooth isn't important, then the latest 4.x.x version will be fine.
I hope this helps you.

It did I successfully installed a custom rom on it thank you!
On an HTC One A9 updated to 1.55.617.4 via OTA. CID = BS_US001. I unlocked the phone (i still have S-Off), installed TWRP, and then tried to root it. Like a fool, I didn't back up first. Something went wrong and I can't boot, I just get stuck at the HTC logo bootsplash. I have tried using the RUU tool to reset the phone to version 1.12.617.6 (both unlocked and relocked) without success. I tried to restore a TWRP backup from this thread but TWRP doesn't see it on my SD card.
Am I missing something? Do I need S-Off? Are there stock images somewhere I can use? I'm striking out so far and I could really use some help.

Had some trouble myself but this is how I solved it.
•Get the 1.12.617.6 ruu.exe and flash that.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#unlocked
•After you boot up and set-up, take the system update to 6.0.1 and then flash twrp.
• Boot into twrp and then factory reset your device.
•Download the latest SuperSU beta from it's respected thread and flash that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu
•(optional) Download the latest open gapps pico for 6.0 arm64 (if you like less bloat)
http://opengapps.org/
•(optional) Install the stock marshmallow boot animation (make sure to get the 1080p flashable zip)

My bad. Just read that you already used the ruu program. Is your mid correct?(2PQ912000) and you are in fact S-Off?
If that doesn't work maybe try using htc fastboot with the extracted zip for BS_US001 from the ruu thread.

I misspoke, I'm S-On. Is the RUU supposed to be able to overwrite a newer version (ie overwrite 1.55 with 1.12)? I have been trying to flash using RUU with USB passthrough to a windows virtual machine, but I guess I should try with a native install and see if that works.
If I'm S-On, will flashing with htc_fastboot still work?

Try flashing the 1.55.617.4 stock rooted ROM I posted here in TWRP. Make sure you wipe everything prior to flashing.
You can't RUU with S-On unless you have the stock recovery flashed. Head over to the resource page and flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then you can RUU.
Can't say this enough around here, S-Off/Unlock the bootloader should be the first thing people do that are going to fool around with ROMS. Sunshine is worth the $25.
You can RUU all day/night with S-Off, you don't need to relock bootloader or anything, any recovery can be installed, the RUU will always get you back to ground zero again.
After that, if you want to go up to 6.0.1, there are a few things mentioned above you need to do.
You either have to do a basic setup after the 6.0.0 RUU, take the 6.0.1 1.55 update. You can boot and do a basic setup, but you need to TWRP recovery, Format Data, then Run/Install SU Beta 2.65 from TWRP, then reboot again and start your setup over from scratch since Data is gone, plus no more encryption on your phone.
Really it is a matter of just a few steps to re-root the phone...but you have to be S-Off to make it easy.

RUU wipes whatever recovery you have and replaces it with stock, so no, you don't have to be on stock recovery to run an RUU.
The user has already updated to 1.55 via OTA, which means, because the user is S-ON, that they CANNOT RUU back down to 1.12, because the OS version is older.
The one thing you did state correctly is that S-OFF with SunShine would make all of this much easier. However if a corrupt system or boot is the only issue, flashing the ROM I linked is a simple and easy solution to get back up and running.
I'll try flashing the system image tonight to see if I can get it working. Next time, I'm not going to forget to S-Off and Nandroid backup first. And yes, to confirm through my own experience, I cannot use RUU since I upgraded OTA to a newer version that the RUU has regardless of recovery version.

Sorry, that's what I meant. I don't do a lot of phone mods so I'm probably misusing some vocab (not to mention, I'm only now beginning to understand the many terms). I am going to try the ROM you posted. Just to clarify the process, I should do the following, correct?
1. Reunlock Device
2. Reflash TWRP recovery
3. run "fastboot erase system"
4. run "fastboot erase boot"
5. Drop the zip file on my SD card without extracting
6. Flash the ROM from the SD card via http colonslashslash highonandroid.com/android-roms/how-to-install-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery-failproof-method/ (sorry, forum won't let me post links yet)
Questions
1. Do I have to use htc_fastboot for any part of this process? I've been loading TWRP with the regular fastboot since I usually run on a Mac.
2. Are there other partitions that need formatting?

Regarding your steps:
1. yes
2. yes
3. no - But running "fastboot erase cache" might be a good idea
4. no - But you should boot into TWRP at this point
5. yes - You can copy the files directly to the device over USB via MTP or UMS (mass storage mode)
5.5. In TWRP, Wipe Menu -> Format Data -> type "yes" to confirm, and then reboot recovery using the reboot menu in TWRP.
6. I don't know what that link is, but once you boot back into TWRP, you just navigate to the zip and swipe to install it.
7. Reboot system
8. ?????
9. Profit!
Regarding your questions:
1. No
2. See 5.5 above. You can also go to the Advanced Wipe Menu (Wipe -> Advanced Wipe) in TWRP and check the boxes to wipe Cache and System.

Regarding your steps:
1. yes
2. yes
3. no - But running "fastboot erase cache" might be a good idea
4. no - But you should boot into TWRP at this point
5. yes - You can copy the files directly to the device over USB via MTP or UMS (mass storage mode)
5.5. In TWRP, Wipe Menu -> Format Data -> type "yes" to confirm, and then reboot recovery using the reboot menu in TWRP.
6. I don't know what that link is, but once you boot back into TWRP, you just navigate to the zip and swipe to install it.
7. Reboot system
8. ?????
9. Profit!
