As you may know some of us have issues to restore the BOOT partition from backups.Basically after you restore a backup with CWM or TWRP recovery (i.e restore a Stock 9.4.5.26 backup while you are on CM10 rom) your device gets stuck on the first Asus bootscreen,or sometimes the system boot successfuly but you get strange issues with your OS ( small DPI,etc).Now to get out of this situation you have to flash the right kernel (the one wich your restored backup was based on),so that's why i've made this thread.
[UPDATE/05-10-2012] - Latest TWRP recovery fixed this issue so please install the latest version from HERE.
** Instructions **
Restore your backup before following this steps
1) Download the required kernel
2) Copy the zip file on your Interna/External storage
3) Reboot in recovery
4) Install the .zip from recovery
5) Reboot your device....done

There's no way to downgrade from .30 or JB.

Hmmm, in case nvflash access has been aquired beforehand, it should be possible, should it not?

I think it's a bit more complex, because there are other roms (though they may share the same kernel) and also the newest Baked Black Bean 5 Rom has a new kernel-- 3.1.10 but it's still on the earlier firmware (build number JRO03R).

IMO it's not more complex ,this "fix" will work for the roms based on those kernels ,plain and simple.I could add the other roms here (maybe Zeus 4) but i have no intention to add the kernel for every alpha rom out,i've included those two CM10 kernels because they work good enough and lot of users want to test CM10,but that's all.
Also this is a temporary fix wich is better than nothing and maybe we will see less "stuck on Asus bootscreen" threads.I'm confident that Dees_Troy and dasunsrule32 will fix their recoverys soon
Hi to All,
I want to share my experience about revert to stock for users that have new HBOOT, unlocked bootloader and custom recovery; can't execute official RUU. ( This method i think is more safe that downgrade HBOOT )
Step ONE:
Install this custom ROM: MaximuS ROM ( read the thread for instruction about installation of this ROM )
( this ROM allow you to receive the message of OTA JB update, if you know another ROM that receive this message you can use as well i think )
Step TWO:
install the stock recovery of HTC One S via fastboot ( after flashing recovery erase cache )
Step THREE:
Reboot your phone in system, configure the rom for first use, go to settings, information, software update and press check now for update.
You'll receive the message for an update, download and install, and now you have stock JB ROM. after reboot you can do a reset ( go to setting => backup and restore ) to clean the application migrated from previous ROM ( MaximuS )
I hope this can help someone else.
p.s. Sorry for my English!
Thanks bro for this, but my problem is not resolved because this rom couldn't install on my HTC One S, i dont know why... Log show me: MD5 files not found

Witch recovery are you using at the moment? I installed this ROM ( MaximuS ) with Team Win Recovery ( TWRP ) v2.3.3.0 and it's works for me.
( after flashing ROM from recovery remember to flash boot.img by fastboot )

I use TWRP and CWM and the same. My mate told me that i have unmount 1 and 2 partition in recovery but i don't know how.
Hi everyone,
thanks a lot, this saved my ass ... I had upgraded my stock ICS to stock JB and then tried to go back to stock ICS with a CWM backup - with the result that I had a brick booting only to a black screen.
I still had access to CWM recovery and so could install the Maximus 2.5 ROM and also the update to stock JB ran through just fine.
I did a factory reset afterwards, is it 100% sure that I now have a pure stock JB or could there be some leftovers from the Maximus 2.5 ROM?
Cheers,
Tim

Yes you have a stock JB, because with factory reset you've removed all extra application that there is inside MaximuS v.2.5.
All other unneeded file or executable ( like root executable and all other script in /system ect. ) was removed during installation of new ROM.
Remember just that you need to revert to stock to give your phone back to HTC for guarantee, I thinks you must leave on it the stock recovery.

It's happened because from recovery the system was unable to flash the boot partition. So after you did the CWM restore, you have all the phone with ICS android, but JB kernel, this cause your black screen after boot!!!
If you have the boot.img ( with suitable kernel of your old ROM ) to flash after you did the CWM recovery, you can get back to your BACKUP without any problem.
Also if you don't have the exactly boot.img of your previous ROM of the backup, you can flash any boot.img by fastboot of ICS kernel and this is should be enough to keep your backup running again.
Thanks very much for the additional explanations. I do have the boot.img of my original CWM backup, so should be able to restore it via fastboot. Great!
But first I have to send in my phone to have the USB port fixed under warranty.
Holy ****, is working, thanks man...

Wait to see if i understood, i have now Custom ( Virtuous Ville+ RC-1) JB ROM, with hboot 2.15.0000... unlocked, root, twrp
1.install maximuS V2.5, wipe..
2. flash boot.img with fastboot
3.Check update for JB, and flash new update JB?
And that's it?
I guess we have to make relock bootloader, after flash ICS?

You just forgot in the list to install the HTC Stock recovery before check the message of update, so:
1 => Wipe and install MaximuS V2.5 ROM
2 => flash with fastboot boot.img of MaximuS V2.5 ROM
3 => flash stock HTC Recovery via fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img , then fastboot erase cache ) or get it from One_S_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0
4 => start the phone and check for the JB update
5 => after JB installation do a factory reset to clean up the ROM from the extra application that MaximuS ROM have.
You don't need to relock your bootloader, you just need to install the stock recovery, that's enough.
Hmm, wait, why need install stock recovery?
This JB will be working with custom twrp?
EDIT: I got it
I did it! I unmounted first 3 partitions in TWRP and installation successful.

Will this work on a T-Mobile HOS with CID HTC__001?
I have followed all the steps from above
- installed the rom
- installed the stock recovery
- then I was able to start the update but when it finished downloading .. I was told that the HTC software on my device has been modified and please revert back and try the update again and it would not preform the update.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance
Hi once more,
after going back to pure stock JB this way, can I relock the bootloader to get "RELOCKED" instead of "UNLOCKED/TAMPERED"? (That would be good for sending in my phone under warranty.) Or will the phone stop booting if I relock the bootloader?
As far as I understood, the "canonical" way to get "RELOCKED" would be to lock the bootloader and install the RUU, but since there is no RUU for the unbranded JB yet and downgrading with an older RUU is not possible, I cannot do this.
Cheers,
Tim

The only word of caution that I think needs to be shared on almost all threads related to JB updates is to make sure you DO NOT have SuperCID... There have been numerous reports of phones bricking with the OTA JB update with a SuperCID... So if you had previously SuperCID your phone with 11111111, definately change it to something else.

Hello,
I'm new to rooting/modding/roms, and I wanna install the awesome Ultimate HD rom on my locked, unrooted Xperia Arc LT15i:
Gingerbread
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2
I don't know where to start.
The page of the Ultimate HD rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207) says:
- For Unlocked Bootloaders: Flash the Recomnend Kernels; Adv. Stock Kernel
- For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial:

I don't think I gotta start with this page ^
I wanna unlock the bootloader, that's step 1 I think (via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034087)
But what's the best way to root and make my Arc ready to install the Ultimate HD rom?
I saw some pages like this about rooting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874801
But I don't know which one is good and which Kernel I gotta use to go from:
Xperia Arc unrooted 2.3.4, 4.0.2
to
rooted, unlocked with the Adv. Stock kernel Ultimate HD rom.
Do I have to install the official ICS update first on my Arc?
first off all you got to unlock the boot loader
follow instructions here

generally when you unlock the boot loader and install a custom rom, it comes with root so rooting is not required.

sorry but when you unlock the bootloader, the sd card must be wiped not matter how you do it.
You can take out the sd card when you unlock the bootloader, that might work.

I just unlocked my Arc bootloader without the sd card and it worked!
Now I'm wondering what the next step is before I can install the Ultimate rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920207)
Is it possible to go straight from unlocked Gingerbread to an ICS based rom? Can I now just put the rom zip on my sd and install via CWM?
Or do I need to do something with a Kernel or something first?

nope you need a ics based kernel, usually the rom includes the kernel, but not always, I don't have an arc so I can't recommend what kernel you should use. Anyway, it seems that there is kernel included. You will need this flash tool if you don't have it already
http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1359317663000
here are the instructions
click the lightning icon,
plug in you device into fastboot mode
click fastboot mode and okay
click select kernel to flash
choose you img file
and reboot
some points to remember.
flashing will wipe your all your app data but won't touch any pictures or movie files; always make a nandriod backup
remember to wipe data/ factory reset before flashing
wiping cache and davik cache won't hurt either

yes you can flash any kernel even if your rom is not compatible with it, you just won't be able to boot up if you have a ics kernel and a gingerbread rom, however you will just need to flash the ics rom to get it working.
oh and remember that many kernels require you to flash modules in order to get things like wifi

Oh okay. Does the (Arcknight) kernel already incluid CWM? Or do I have to install CWM before flashing? Because when I flash the kernel, it's a factory reset so CWM will be deleted, right?

nope the cwm (or twrp) is part of the kernel so doing a factory reset will not delete it.
In fact do you the wiping with cwm.

You don't "need" a new kernel. After a nandroid, do a full wipe except sdcard and flash rom and gapps, since you're coming from ics.
However, if you're dissatisfied with the kernel provided with the rom, then go ahead and flash that too.

I have my TF300T with official rom, but unlocked and installed TWRP 2.3.3 about 1 years ago,
after that I didnt do anything special liking flashing rom except regular use
Yesterday, my wife complained the tablet is too slow, so i tried to flash the customized rom PAC-ROM 4.3, then my device enters reboot loop.... and it hangs at the ASUS logo for about 30 second for every reboot.
since I still can enter recovery and run TWRP, so i searched around and followed some posts by doing wipe system, factory reset, reflashing multiple times....but nothing helped. I also did the wipe data button on the recovery menu besides the RCK, but after reading some posts, i am afraid that i softbricked my device by doing that.
however, now i still can enter TWRP, but dont know what to do to restore my device, I wish some one can help me here by giving some suggestions
I would also to know the cause of the failure, my device is running the offical 4.1 ROM, and i followed exactly the steps mentioned by the post on PAC_MAN, Is that because my TWRP is too old?

There is two version of JB bootloaders. It looks like You have an older one and all current custom roms require new one. So here is Your mistake. To unbrick Your device it need to be reflashed to 4.1 stock rom. Then, if You still need to flash pac-rom, upgrade to 4.2 stock rom first.
Thanks so much!
i just want to confirm, since i already did wipe data button, do i need to goto fastboot to push the stock rom?
or i can just flash the 4.1 stock (or customized rom) using twrp?
in addition,how should i upgrade to 4.2 stock rom? can you refer me a thread?
thanks again!:good:

I think fastboot is prefered to restore 4.1 stock. And IMHO best way to upgrade to 4.2 is stock recovery.
sorry that i am a newbie without much experience.
i am not very clear about the steps.but if i understand correctly, i need to
1. goto fastboot to restore stock 4.1, which will automatically remove TWRP and replace it with stock recovery
2. copy stock 4.2 rom to the root of a sdcard and run stock recovery for udpate
3. root the device again? and install TWRP
4. use TWRP to install the PC-man 4.3
am i miss anything?
thanks alot!

All right. Little hint: twrp for new bootloader have 4.2 in the end of file name and version 2.5.0.0 is most stable.
Hope this Helps
Try here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
Basically, you have 2 options. If you want to stay on 4.1 bootloader, download the older 4.1 Asus factory image zip (v10.4.x.x) from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758, and install it using one of the three options mentioned in the first thread.
Option #2 is to update to the newest 4.2 bootloader, download the newest 4.2 Asus factory image zip from the same thread (v10.6.x.x), and install it
I would go with #2 because most of the newer custom ROM are made for 4.2 bootloader, plus it's the offical newest Asus bootloader. The only reason I can think of to use option #1 is for some of the older custom ROM that still uses 4.1 bootloader.
Hope this helps.

Basically, you have 2 options. If you want to stay on 4.1 bootloader, download the older 4.1 Asus factory image zip (v10.4.x.x) from this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758, and install it using one of the three options mentioned in the first thread.
Option #2 is to update to the newest 4.2 bootloader, download the newest 4.2 Asus factory image zip from the same thread (v10.6.x.x), and install it
