Hello,
I've always posted my issue on development forum but the only answers (thank you to eyahl & gsimeonov who replyed to me "to try to overvolt by 25") has not solved my following problem :
Very often, i have problem of freeze with my phone. Sometimes but too often to ignore it, when i end a call or when i use an app, my phone freeze and doesn't repond to any of my manipulations. The only way to exit of this freeze is to put the phone on sleep mode and to wake it up.
Is there someone who had this problem and who know how to solve it, because it's very very annoying.
I have this problem with runnydroid, endimyon, reaper. I've tried BlindIce and Aokp from Tectas but although they both are very good, they are based on CM9 and i have a preference to sense.
If someone has an idea, thank you in advance
I'd say that you install a well used stable ROM like Endymion then ensure that you're not overclocking or Under volting at all.
Perform a full wipe, install minimal applications possible and attempt to use the phone to see if it occurs.
in an attempt to identify if this is being caused by one of your applications , the ROM or worse is a hardware related issue?
I've always installed Endimyon and i've had these freezes on it.
The only apps installed are business free calendar and sometimes (it depends if the 'note' app is present in the rom) Evernote.
Each time, i do a clean install, full wipe, wipe dalvik and battery stats, format date, cache, sdcard (not all the time but often) and system.
I'm a bit annoyed and i hope it's not a hardware problem because, it will probably be difficult with the warranty because i've rooted my phone.
Edit 18:37 :
I'm on the bootloader and the ref of Hboot is 6.98.1002. Have i to update it because i see on your signature that you have 2.00.2002 ?

I wouldn't bother updating in fact I'd suggest that you downgrade to the 98.2 ENG bootloader.
Thank you,
I've found hboot 98.2 on the forum but i don't find how to downgrade the Hboot only and not the rom.
Can you give me a link for that ?
Sorry if this question have already been asked but i've searched for a long time without success ...
Many thanks
copy the PG88IMG.zip file from the post above (case sensitive) to the root of your sdcard and reboot phone so that you enter boot loader and you'll be prompted to update, say yes! (with power button)
when over remove the file from your SD
I did what you said but the update has not been applied but bypassed.
I have not enough time to read the reason but maybe it's because i have a most recent version of Hboot ?
I'm asking if it shouldn't be simpler to return to a stock rom, although i love endymion and runnydroid but my freezes problem are too annoying.
To flash ENG Hboot over Revolutionary Hboot , Please refer the post below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15782816&postcount=4
thanks Tapur007, your link goes to a procedure which works perfect.
I will see if i always have my freeze problems.
Thanks again
Well, I ain't too sure if this is gonna solve your freezing problem.
I just pointed you to the correct method of flashing ENG Hboot over revolutionary (which was your concern in your previous post) !

You're right, my problems are not solved, it freezes again.
I think i will return to a stock rom and bring my phone in warranty.
Have you a link to a procedure to return t stock rom because i don't find a clear description of this procedure ?
Many thanks because i'd like to bring my phone for the warranty tomorrow.
As much as I'd like to help, I'm afraid I don't want you to screw up your phone!
I'd suggest you refer some guides here in the forums, for returning to stock!
Cuz, i think running an RUU now should do the job for u... But, there's this something about the misc_version and stuff that i ain't aware of!
May be you should ask some experts here & take their advice ...

Do NOT post a new thread without reading this first! Very important! Your post may vanish!
I've about had it! I move countless new posts each day to the General catagory!
I want to make one thing clear, if you are not developing or at least helping in the development of a rom, hack, script, driver or anything similar you probably should not post in development.
de·vel·op·ment [dih-vel-uhp-muhnt]
–noun
1.
the act or process of developing; growth; progress: child development; economic development.
2.
a significant consequence or event: recent developments in the field of science.
3.
a developed state or form: Drama reached its highest development in the plays of Shakespeare.
4.
Music . the part of a movement or composition in which a theme or themes are developed.
5.
a large group of private houses or of apartment houses, often of similar design, constructed as a unified community, esp. by a real-estate developer or government organization.
6.
Chess . the act or process of developing chess pieces.
7.
Mining . the work of digging openings, as tunnels, raises, and winzes, to give access to new workings, and of erecting necessary structures.

So since we aren't BP workers sitting around playing chess while listening to Mozart or watching Hamlet. And we're sure as hell not teachers trying to show children how to do constructions (although I can use it as a metaphore) I'm going to go out on a limb and say that #2 applies.
So unless you can create "a significant consequence or event" other than your own device then you should not post in development.
Do you have a [Q] Question?
Maybe, just maybe it might belong in the general Q&A section.
That would be this:
myTouch 3G, Magic General
Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)
So here's the deal... for the next two weeks until further notice I am going to be very strict.
If I see a post that should not be in the development section, I will remove it completely. I won't move it, I won't warn anybody. It'll just be gone.
A few days ago I had to go and move 14 (that's fourteen) posts all at once. That's a little out of hand. These were obvious Q&A like:
What rom is the best?
What is _________ app from ________ picture?
How do I setup swap?
What is compcache?
How do I setup adb?
Why is my recovery not working?
How do I flash a new recovery?
Help me flash a new radio?
etc, etc, etc.
(These were only examples since I don't want to single anyone out.)
These are NOT development related.
Now if you made a script or an app of some kind that made these questions easier for the user then it would be development. Get it? Good! Because I'm not repeating it!
Final warning to all members!
And this goes hand in hand with this warning here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545005
Also... if you break this rule... you can find your post in two places in the trash.
First place will be in the trash.
Second place will be in this locked thread as an example of what NOT to post in the Development section.
You have been warned!
Example #1
Even after posting that... they still continue.
Here's an example of one that disappeared!

I downloaded MyFaves.apk and moved it to the /system/app directory but it didnt work.
Can someone point me to the link where i can download the TMO 1.6 Stock ROM ? want to revert back to original state.

After I flash, I cant get into recovery, only fastboot/bootloader mode.
When I boot into recovery mode, it gets stuck at the mytouch3g screen

RADIO-2.22.19.26I
May 27 2009, 19:06:41
ROM: CM6RC3
Recovery: Amon_Ra
Goal: Flash 2.22.23.02 radio onto my phone.
Issues: I have a "perfected" SPL on my phone, 1.33.0006. This means that I cannot use fastboot to flash my radio (I get the "remote: not allow" error).
Main questions:
Can I simply rename the radio file I downloaded (forum.cyanogenmod.c om/files/file/50-magic-radio-2-22-23-02zip/) to "update.zip" and flash the radio using recovery mode?
Do I need to then immediately flash a new ROM (preferably Cyanogen 6 RC3) right after flashing the radio, because flashing the radio requires a ROM flash right afterward (read that somewhere).
If the above steps are correct, do I need to do a full phone wipe? Or just cache and dalvik-cache?
Do I need to worry about compatibility between radio and ROM version? Or radio and SPL version?
OR do I need to first flash the SPL to something like 1.33.2010 (a custom, non-perfected SPL)? If so, do I follow a procedure similar to this: (forum.xda-developers.c om/showpost.php?p=5304579&postcount=4) ? I assume this SPL would allow me to use fastboot to flash the radio (negating the need to flash radio via recovery).
Just want to upgrade the radio to (supposedly) get better reception. And yes, this is a USA MT3G (1st version). Would prefer not to create a goldcard and all that jazz (which I haven't done before).

Hi!
I have a HTC magic 32B black rooted.
When I passed to froyo from eclair (with superE), my phone started to give me a lot of problems.
Is impossible to connect it to a wi-fi modem. IT START TO REBOOT IN LOOP and the only solution is remove battery... and change ROM (with a Eclair based).
In particular, when I install for example, a new froyo ROM like superfroyo 2.8.2, at the first connection with WPA2 protected network, my phone, after the typing of password, start reboot in loop. At every restart is impossible to switch off wi-fi.
Same problem with the connection at 3G network...
With Eclair there isn't problem.
Am I the only one with this problem?
What can I do for to have froyo without problems in my magic?

So almost a week later and I'm still finding myself performing my magic by making posts disappear! This is so far on the average of about two a day. So these poor souls either don't read or don't care. Either way... they won't have many posts if they don't change their habits.
Believe it or not, this has dropped dramatically! I was moving about ten or so each day so you all should feel good about yourselves. Still... some of you are still keeping me on my toes. And that's fine... because you know where to find your posts. Don't you?
Hint:

Technically, I should say that this is Example #13 continued because it's the same exact member that did it again. Some people just don't get it. But they will when they check their e-mail and find that they were banned for posting in the wrong section.
I sent him/her an e-mail this time telling him/her that it's his/her final warning. So I guess we'll see.

Can you guys direct me to the right place,
By the way I can't input commands in clockwork like in other recovery there for I can't put a different recovery in the phone and flash via commands

Hi guys. I'm hoping my post hasn't broken any forum rules... but anyway, i am very new to android, and i'm still trying to read up on/learn about rooting a phone + flashing a ROM to it. I have a few questions that i'm hoping some experienced people could answer for me =]
1. Does my HTC sensation need to have a certain update before i can try archieve S-Off? (I'm on the Three network [UK] and my software number is 1.34.771.1)
2. How easy is it to brick a device? Im good with computers, and can follow instructions, but seeing as i have no past experience with android, i'm anxious to try flash new ROMs to my phone without insurance - as £500 for a new device would kill me... =P
3. When flashing a new custom ROM to my phone, what kind of 'wipe' do i need to perform? I've read a few articles, all of which say to perform different wipes.
4. I dont understand ' Radio Flashing' could someone kindly explain that to me please?
5. What exactly does CWM backup? =P
I hope i'm not wasting anyones time here, i have read through the articles for noobs, just need some clarification =]

1. As long as you are on Android 2.3.3 there shouldnt be a problem. 2.3.4 donesnt have a S=off just yet, i think
2. Bricking is actually very hard to do, if u follow instructions you should be good
3. all you need to wip is the system data, cache, and i reccomend wiping the battery status too
4. Radio flashing is chaning your radio number. this is actually a very easy process. Dont worry about this, all you do is put a zip on ur sd card, and the phone does the rest.
5. ClockWork Mod backs up quite literally everytrhing. Think "Macrium Reflect" for a PC. Or a "Ghost Backup" for a PC.
6. I just added this. don worry about wasting peoples time. We are here to help each other like a community. Let me know if u have any other questions.
I am following this thread, and when u reply i will answer you again. So feel free to ask any more questions.
If you feel like ur ready to root just go to the Development forum and see the 1st sticky thread. Or if u ask i will send u a few links on how to root.

Thank you very much =] Think i'll give rooting a go within the next week... just want to make my sensation that much faster and improve the battery life!
If you don't mind me asking;
What exactly is a Radio number for?
I am on android 2.3.3 , just my software number seemed different to other peoples phones =P
So if i use this 'Clockwork Mod' to backup everything, once the new ROM has installed, will everything just be the same (apart from the changes on the ROM obv) such as app placements on homescreens etc. Or will i have to put everything back?
Also, say android releases 2.3.5 , im assuming i would just flash an updated ROM over the top of an older 2.3.4 ROM when it is released?
I've read through the 1st sticky a few times already, just to familiarise myself with certain words/actions =]
Finally, what is hboot =]

Clockwork Mod is just a recovery program to allow you to install new ROMs to your device, but most importantly, to let you backup and restore your current device configuration (like a sort of time machine). Most developers recommend Clockwork Mod (CWM) because it is so good at what it does. If anything fails, and you need to use your phone in a pinch, just revert to a CWM backup, and all's well!
So, to answer your question, unfortunately, no. One of the only ways to do that is with Titanium Backup, a program from the Android Market.
CWM is for reverting to previous incarnations of your phone's software and firmware.
Sorry I only answered one question, but it was the only one I knew how to in an effective manner.
Sorry, I can answer another!

A radio is the way that your device communicates with your mobile networking. (wifi, 3G/4G, etc) Different Radio versions (numbers) work better for different people. Most developers will release a matched radio with their ROMs, which is usually what works best for them. Depending on your area, different radios may work better for you. Ultimately concerning radios, Your Mileage WILL vary. it's one of the other big trial and error pieces to flashing custom ROMs.

Radio Number/Version is the version of ur radio. This is signal related.
So when updates come out they typically update the
radio and make the signal strength better.
This is something to be careful with, when changing ROMs
make sure that the some you are about to change into
supports ur radio version.
When u use ClockWork Mod to backup it will backup your current settings. So if u backup it consists of your rom , apps, settings, etc. so if u restore that then everything would be like the old one. So Yes, u would have the set everything back on the homescreen. Its ok, u will get used to that.
When they release android 2.3.5 you might have to "wipe" your phone and do it again. Maybe, depending on your rom, you might be able to flash on top of 2.3.4
H-Boot is similar to the Bios of the computer. And you know how carefully you have to be to change that.
But the H-Boot version that the 1st sticky says allows changing of certain things, thus allowing you to have root.
Feel free to ask away, im here to help you

lol. you posted both while i was writing up my response.
Its good though, because then the OP will get to read 2 times as much, which will make him even better at the terminology and the process
Lol. I'm just trying to be helpful so i can get to posting on the Dev. forums. There are plenty of easy questions there...
Appreciating the help guys =] Starting to understand a bit better!
So when i flash a new ROM, i must flash a new Radio? If i flash the recommended radio, how likely am i to get a good signal? And if im getting poor signal, i just have to keep trying new Radios? ( I Heard flashing radios is one of the ways you can brick your device)
Also with CWM - When the backup is made... do i have to keep it on the Sd card? Or can i move it to the computer so it takes up less space?
And if i understand correctly - CWM basically creates a backup just incase things go wrong you can always revert back?
... If i use titanium backup, what benefits does that bring over CWM? - Is it worth the money?
Thanks again

Also, how do i find my hboot version?
Ive started trying to get S-Off... just be reading ahead, it says that Custom ROMs come with root already? Does that mean i just need CWM with S-Off to flash a ROM? Or do i need to Root + Do the Super-Cid thing?

- Hold the power button, untill you get Shut Down, Airplane Mode or Restart.
- Click on Restart then Yes.
- Wait until all the lights on your device turn off.
- Hold the Vol. Down Button until a white screen shows.
There you'll find HBOOT-XXXXXX
This is your HBOOT version.
To get to your OS again:
- Make sure FASTBOOT is hightlighted.
- Press the <Power> button.
- Go to REBOOT by pressing Vol. Down.
- Press the <Power> button.
Hope it helps

You don't need Root to install a custom Root.
Just S-OFF, CWM and SuperCID I believe..
Just note down your old CID before writing the new SuperCID as you may need it later if you want to flash RUU and afraid of doing something wrong
Later on, if you want to flash RUU (Rom Upgrade Utility) without the fear of flashing a wrong one, you can just write the old CID to your device again
Check this post to know more
Sorry for the silly amount of posts... i cant find how to delete them!
Just so you know - I've archieved S-Off now , and installed CWM successfully.
Am i ready to flash a ROM?
-Also i have save files in games... such as FF7 - FPse , which a really dont want to lose... is their anyway i can copy them/save them somewhere ?

To flash a ROM, you mean Stock ROM (RUU) or Custom ROM?
If Custom Rom, please read my post #13 then do the SuperCID thing as you will need it for custom ROM..
About your saved games, the only way I know you can backup your saved data with is using Titanium Backup, which can be found in the Market.
Obviously, if you still don't know what you're doing, research more and then do whatever you want.
I take no responsibilities about anything that may happen to your phone using any of the methods above.
Good luck

I posted all the instructions in the other link I posted.
You'll find CID: XXXXX, keep this code with you, in-case you need it later for installing RUU and confused about which one to use.

Im going to try install Android Revolution 3.0.0 =]
Starting to understand what im doing. About to make a backup using CWM. =]
*UPDATE* - Performed backup with CWM - Everything seemed to go fine... however i noticed it said ''No sd-ext found, skipping backup of sd-ext''...
Does that mean my SD card isnt backed up?

That's exactly what happened to me when I backed up.
I think you should ignore it, as it is trying to backup an extension in the SD-Card, as you can re-partition your SD-Card using CWM as I understand.
I would be pleased if someone explained to me what exactly sd-ext is and what I'm missing
Good day to you all

Ignoring it is ok. sd-ext not being backed up is most likely an indicator that an EXT4 formatted portion of your SD card was not found. By default, your SD card is formatted as FAT32 because of its universal acceptance by all OSs. Some users report a performance boost/personal preference toward EXT4, YMMV.

Most importantly, ClockworkMod does not back up your SD card. that is something you have to do manually on your computer, should you choose to do so. CWM is only responsible for backing up the internal storage of the phone that can be changed or wiped by ROMs (or mike1986's SuperWipe.) ROMs shouldn't change the contents of the SD card.
First of all, sorry if I'm just being stupid and daft, but I've been reading here for the past two days now and either I'm missing something crucial here or maybe it just can't work for some reason (and believe me: being stupid myself is far preferable to the alternative).
So I own a Desire S as you may have guessed, and hey it was even rooted. Had a nice Android 2.3.5 with HTC Sence 3 on it. So ignoring my own best advice (never change a running system) I decided to try the new HTC ICS update. After being quite unsuccessful for almost two days because the HTC Update Utility stubbornly refused to update with an Error 155 message - informing me that I was using the wrong utility - today's breakthrough made me realise I had no choice but to use the HTCdev to relock my phone. Before that of course I had made a backup of the whole system via 4EXT and via Titanium Backup. So all my stuff is safe and sound on my SD-Card. So the update went well today and my Desire S now has Android 4.0.4 and Sense 3.6, hurray.
Now I first used the HTCDev tool to unlock the bootloader - worked like charm, and then tried to S-Off and root my phone again and install a Recovery tool and thus get my contacts and all the other stuff back. BUT here I encountered minor difficulties since Revolutionary tells me my phone (HBoot 2.02.0002) is not supported (?!). Consequently Gingerbreak or SuperOneClick are useless to me. So now I got a working blank phone with a beautiful new UI but with no contacts, calendar and apps.
Could anyone please point me in the right direction and tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is there another way to get S-OFF? My phone had the same HBoot Version prior to the update, why was it no problem to S-OFF and root it then? Am I just to tired to see and obvious solution? Do I have to downgrade before I can update?
If you got this far reading my rambling, I hope it made some sense to you and I'd like to thank you for your patience and of course for your help in advance.
Best regards
Archer

Yeah ... I know why you feel that way. I've been around in several other forums and simply got crazy because people always asked the same bloody questions. Thanks for keeping me motivated to continue searching
Believe me if I HADN'T been sitting in front of the damn screen for that long without success I wouldn't have asked. But to be honest: I simply can't find the solution. I'm rather sure it might be quite easy and must've overlooked it before, but ... well ... needle and haystack ... forest and trees ... you get my drift ... Well, I guess I'd better go to bed. It's past midnight, and just maybe there'll be some kind of divine intervention in my sleep In any case tomorrow I might be more awake.
Thanks and good night.

As you're now S-Off, install 4Ext recovery via ADB then flash superuser. If you need precise steps they are detailed clearly in many of the other threads.

Well strictly speaking I'm not S-OFF, only the bootloader is unlocked. And that was bugging me all the time. But your're right: today I re-read the second guide thread above and found what I was searching:
How to: Root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
There I found out, that with this HBoot version I did not have to S-OFF the phone but could install Recovery only with the bootloader unlocked.

I use Google Calendar only for my work phone, and see no reason to upload all private stuff to the internet. We're all doing too much of that already anyway. But yeah that would work too. Thx
I tried an S-off as per the procedure everything went well
Supercid 11111111
and Finally A bootloader with S-Off
but when The device booted,it showed the home screen with the unlock screen and as soon as the screen unlocks its gives and error "Process system failed" (somethng almost similar) and gave an option to wait or close the program, choosing either of the two would result in a continuous bootloop
Attempts Made So far
-reflashed the kernals,ROMs, with Factory reset, Wipes Via fastboot commands
-Did A factory reset from Bootloader to clear all the Corrupt files
-Re-locked the bootloader to Install a fresh RUU
Attempted the S-Off from Win8 PC, but later RUUs were also tried Via Win7
Thannks to beaups and jcase so far for all the Help, Appreciated:good:
All the above steps couldnt bring back the cell to normal.Therefore,would Appreciate any help
#Latest attempt was Installing a Recovery via fastboot, it showed 'failed" Error
Thank You
Don't factory reset from bootloader, that corrupts the SD card. Have you tried flashing stock recovery? If your SD card is corrupted, that's the only way to fix it. Also, keep in mind next time that you should post questions in Q&A, people tend to get a little upset when they show up here.
C'mon man, wrong section.... Use Q&A.... :facepalm:

You obtained S-Off but corrupted phone's internal card b/c perhaps you did not wait enough time when did the last step (adb shell su -c "/data/local/tmp/soffbin3" before reboot) when did S-Off.
1. Now, Re-lock your bootloader and then reboot into RUU flash mode: fastboot oem rebootRUU
2. Flash either HTC RUU or OTA Update from here
3. Reboot - you will have stock ROM
4. Now unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, root, do backup, (you still have Super CID) and then do S-Off (if you really need)
P.S. Q should be in General Thread

Em why not? So what its in the wrong section its a bit late to ***** about it so why not help and just let him know he did wrong like trathiang did and he only has 17 posts so shame on you.
I've factory reset from bootloader and stepped on other land mines as well. Don't worry, as long as you don't mess up your bootloader I think it is pretty hard to brick this phone.
I would suggest you flash TWRP recovery if you don't already use that, wipe everything including internal SD card, mount it and copy over the ROM and flash it again. Maybe it's something wrong with the ROM you are using?! Perhaps try a different one and of course make sure it's for an HTC One S (ville) phone.
If you try mount the internal SDcard and Winbloz says the sdcard needs to be formatted then do that using all defaults (fat32).

As far as i remember there was no issues with S-Off.. as i waited for some time then did an Adb reboot and later it showed S-Off in Bootloader
I also Googled alot before posting it here .. In case Someone missed out the procedures i followed to get it back, its a long list of tries
I Already tried the RUU process ( will give it one more try now)
I also tried with different ROMs but the same issue

Which RUU are you trying? If it's 2.35, try something older, like 1.84. I could never get 2.35 to work.

The way I see it, this guy is not asking how to change his wallpaper or install a Hello Kitty theme. His phone won't boot. The night I got my phone, I did a factory reset from the bootloader and spent 4 hours having a panic attack trying to fix it. It's a ****ty feeling, we've all been there, and when we were there, all we wanted was to figure out how to save our phones. Helping people while reminding them to post in the right section will make people have a more positive experience with xda. Telling them wrong section and refusing to answer them is petty and alienating.

Hey folks,
after making few mistakes in the past flashing wrong recovery's and unlocking the One Mini with HBoot 2.22 I thought of making a little information thread for all users, who want to unlock/root/flash custom firmware on their phones.
Here are just few important things you have to check before flashing or unlocking:
Check if HBoot is 2.22:
First, go into the bootloader by pressing and holding the "Power + Vol. Down" Button with the phone on OR off, as long as the phone is in Bootloader.
Now you can check your HBoot Version.
- If it says HBoot 2.21 or lower, you just have to backup all of your SD-Data, just for security reasons.
- If it says HBoot 2.22, also backup your Data AND be careful which recovery you want to flash.
TWRP:
If you like TWRP, please DO NOT flash Version 2.7.0.0. or lower. WHY isn't really important for new users, just don't do it.
Few changes were made since HBoot 2.22 and older recovery's could instantly wipe all of your data and/or don't let you access your internal memory ("SD-card") for making a nandroid backup.
TWRP made a new Version 2.7.0.8. for you, so please use this one. Head over this link, for your download. If your are on HBoot 2.21 or lower, you can also flash the new one.
CWM:
If you like CWM, it's the same procedure, as older Versions may not work well with the new HBoot. For me, I cannot find any updated version and I am not sure which version works fine with new HBoot 2.22.
CWM 6.0.4.8. is the newest one, eventually somebody can confirm, that this versions works with the HBoot.
For the download, just follow this link and scroll down to the "m4" device. But I can say it again, please use only TWRP for now.
So for now, please use TWRP, it should work with all Custom Firmwares so far.
One last important thing: I am not 100% sure, if flashing a new recovery, even the new one, would wipe your data or not. So please be aware, that flashing a new one could erase all of your app data/settings/contacts/data on SD.
If it is possible for you, use the HTC Backup App to backup your data.
Hopefully I can help "newbies" to prevent them of losing all of their data by simply flashing a new recovery, just as I did.
If you have any questions, I try to keep this thread up to date and answer your questions with my knowledge I earned the last few days.
Have fun with your phone and a nice day!
Cheers,
Patrick
Many thanks!

I want to use clockwork recovery because the twrp-2.8.6.0-m4 dont let me access the backup of my stock rom
I can ensure you as it was the first time that I rooted my HTC One mini it was a very bad experience
Could somebody confirm me if it is compatible with 222 with no issues?
Patrick I owe you a great big thank you! ... I hope you get this reply, even though it may be over 2 years since your post.
Your tip solved a boot loop problem that has had me going crazy for over 3 gruelling days, and despite the fact that I had read, and tried every thing I could on here -
I recently posted for help, but sadly got none - how happy the day I stumbled across your post.
I am quite amazed how little response you have had,
and even more amazed that all the rom developers on here don't mention that TWRP can cause such problems with HBoot 2.22, even though it may be in other threads.
In my opinion stating what TWRP one would need with a specific rom should be stated on the top of an OP's actual rom page.
best regards man!
