Hi,
I'm working on this problem for three days now, dont know what else I can do.
I have an htc one s (s3), hboot version 3.1.0, cid htc 612, twrp v 5.0.0.
My phone is stuck on the htc white screen (quitely brilliant, this build is for...).
I could not find the correct ruu in the web so I cant go back to stock.
When I try to install a rom, it just says:
Checking for md5: no md5 file found..
Skipping md5 check: no md5 file found..
Error flashing zip 'rom name'
And thats it! I cant even understand where it fails.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
I keep working on it and still can't find a solution.
Currently all i want to do is to run "su" command, but i get the error:
/sbin/sh: su: not found.
I have tried to root my phone and it seems to be rooted, and I have no idea
what this error is.
Please help me solve that -
How can I run adb su while having no rom?
can you flash CM recovery?. TWRP have problem with some roms. I come across some roms that twrp will not flash, but cm will.
Unfortunately I can't :/
It installs the zip, but when i go to recovery in the bootloader,
It just get stuck on the "entering recovery" message..

If you can get into fastboot you should be able to flash a new recovery.
Yes as I said, it flashes the recovery but when I try to enter it,
It gets stuck on the "entering recovery" messagel
I'm updating the status in case anyone will have an idea.
I found out that my problem is not root, its that after I make changes via ADB SHELL, they won't SURVIVE REBOOT.
Meaning - if I change the cid, the changes will not be saved after reboot,
Does anyone knows how to solve that issue? :angel:

Hi guys,
For the last 2 nights I´ve been trying to get a CG Mod 6.1 on my HTC Magic 32B.
I have rooted it with onclick-root method and tried a bunch of things like ROM Manager and flashing via fastboot (brings up "remote not allow" error). Nothing worked out.
Here are the facts:
HTC Magic with OTA upgrade to 2.2.1
hboot: 1.33.0013
radio: 2.22.28.25
Rooted with Oneclick method
Do I need a goldcard? How do I do that? What hboot Version do I need? What Radio do I need? What do I have to do first?
Are you certain the Root took? Are you seeing the Superuser icon in your app drawer?
When you were using Rom Manager did you flash, or attempt to flash a custom recovery, and if so did it install ok?
What happened when you tried to flash a ROM using Rom Manager?
I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of this
Yes, rooting has worked...Icon is there everything looks fine.
With the Rom Manager i tried to install "update-cm-6.1.0-DS-2708port_S" aswell as the "update-cm-6.1.0-DS-signed". Both did not work.
I still can boot to my standard OTA 2.2.1
Try wiping your phone in recovery and then install the rom
hang on a minute...
it sounds like you haven't installed a custom recovery before trying to flash the rom. Can you clarify...have you actually done this yet?
The process should go root/recovery/nandroid backup/rom in that order.
yeah you re right...i dont have a custom recovery
i just tried to load "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img" on the console
su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
does not work, i get: flash_image: not found
USB debugging is enabelde
3rd party software is enabeled
is there another way to get flash the recovery ?
Rom Manager!
At the top you should have the option to flash clockworkmod recovery. Select that; it will run and then the phone should reboot. I usually do it again to confirm. If it installed correctly the first time you'll get a pop up saying that it is installed.
If all goes to plan select 'backup current rom' from within Rom Manager. This is a nandroid backup and can be re-installed from recovery any time you wish to return to stock.
NOW you are free to install a custom ROM of your choice
Post back if you encounter any issues.
I have tried that. It flashes, gives my a popup that it installed correctly.
But it does not reboot.
When i choose restart in recovery mode it boots up the phone an gets stuck on the vodafone logo. BatteryOut reboot and i am back at the good old 2.2.1 OTA
do i have to wait long?!? cant be, right? do i need to hold down any buttons?
If you try the backup option now you'll soon find out if the recovery did indeed install ok. (it won't backup if the recovery isn't installed)
i restarted...flashed the recovery again. got popup confirmation. then chose backup rom and got stuck at the vodafone logo
You must be pretty frustrated by now. It might be time to start asking for more help in the dev section of the Magic forum HERE.
I hope that somebody has the answer!
Thanks for your help...i ll see if someone else has any ideas.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Are you are aware that the command you need to type will be
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img
The command points to the exact file name on your sd card so if you just wrote flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img and the recovery file was not called "recovery.img" it would not know what to look for.
I'm not sure if this is what you have or whether you just copied and pasted from a guide, but I just thought I'd put it out there in case that is the case.
Hope this helps.
Ok, I cant install any update.zip files or NAND stuff to go back to stock. Everytime I try, it says E: signature failure and aborted. Ive wiped all my data and everything too.
Here is the screen info.
Android System Recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply update from /sdcard << cant install anything using this.
wipe data/factory
wipe cache partition
So everytime I try to install something it says E: signature verification failed.
I run a WIND Nexus S, with a the ICS 4.0.3, which really ate up my memory and started lagging like turtle after an hour or 2. SO I wanna go back to stock and install another version that hopefully rus better and smoother. Please help
Do you have cwm 5.0.2.x or greater?
No, I think Im 3.xx something. BUt Ive tried updating thru rom manager and it says I dont have the privileges. I have superuser installed o I dont know why its not letting me. Do I have to manually apply the 5.8.0 touch update???
I assume you have an unlocked bootloader, so use fastboot to upgrade to v5 or greater. You don't need the touch if you don't want it, you can just use 5.0.2.0 if you prefer.
Recap of command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You can get the latest superuser .zip file from here. You can probably flash that through the older recovery if you're unsure how to use fastboot.
Thanks for the replies Harbb. SO I did fastboot flash recover to the new 5.0.2.0.. but nothing happened. The cmd did say recovery sent in 1.7 secs. But when I reboot nothing changed. Its still the same recovery at 3e and I still cant install updates cuz of the e: signature verification failure.
EDIT: I just got it to work. Thank for the help Harbb, extremely appreciated.
Good to know you got it sorted
Hello,
Sorry if this has been posted already , but i couldnt find anything similar.
When i flash something, from cwm, it does not make any changes.
When i flash a other rom, the old rom boots,
Kernel, the old kernel remains
I had the new Cwm 5.5.0.4? With the reboot problem.
So i installed a rom, which i found in dev section wthat included a older cwm 3.3.0.4 or something.
The reboot problem still remains, so i can only start with holding volume down and do a cold boot.
So if i try to flash the new fixed cwm, trough cwm or rom manager, still the old cwm shows up.
(Rom manager actually sais the new version is installed :S )
Also i tried alot of wipes, clear cache and dalvik before flashing, but this makes no difference.
When flashing i dont get any errors, just normal, like everything goes well.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks

Yes i readed that thread, but has this anything to do with my rom and kernel not changing after flashing?
Firstly : is it even showing the flashing being done in the recovery? Should show loading bar and tell you what its doing.
Second : baseballfan is showing that thread because there's probably issue with your recovery.
Also, maybe you can just use gnufabios app in app thread " recovery installer ". It flashes roaches working cwm recovery for you, real easy. Download apk, open and hit install

Yeah you have a bad recovery, after flashing a "good" recovery you still need to
use terminal to remove the "bad" recovery or you will still be at square one.
Yes, the flashing of a rom or anything else goes like usual.
I will try to fix the cwm and see if it helps the problems with my tf stuck on a rom and kernel.
Hello guys,
I made some progress,
If i flash a kernel , it does successfully flash it.
When i go to recovery, it now sais : ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4
So thats better then before,
But now i have the following problem.
It still boots to the recovery if i dont hold vol. down.
I readed the instruction from the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=23256536
I flash the zip : cwm_recovery-5504_roach-tf101-r2.zip
Then when i try to ADB : adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
it gives me the error : Write error : No space left on device
I searched all threads on XDA, and i found that this error is normal because there is no space defined.
But after a reboot, it still doesnt boot the R2 recovery.
Just the old one
Anyone that has a solution?
I ran into some trouble trying to install a new ROM, and now have a hard time getting things up and running again.
Just figured I'd share a solution that took me an hour or 2 to figure out.
The Problem
The system didn't boot up any more. At some points I got stuck in a boot reloop, at others in the HTC screen (for development use only)
The Basic Facts
S4
Unlocked
Hboot 1.06.0000
Radio 1.06es.50.02.31
I could always boot into bootloader and into recovery (TWRP 2.3.3.0 - although that one always asks for a password, but when I click on Cancel, it does seem to work
The Things I Tried
I tried to install a ROM by first pushing it with quick adb pusher to the sd-card that was mounted in twrp, I then tried to install that zip file but got all sorts of 'mount' errors
I then tried to fash a stock RUU (I found RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed.exe), I relocked the phone with the one-in-all toolbox (which worked just fine), the phone went into bootloader, a White HTC sign appeared on the screen, it sent the file, then did 'updating signatures', but ended up with ERROR [130]: model ID error. I take it that is because it found a different Radio from the one expected
I then tried to flash the 'right' radio for the RUU I found (radio-1.08ts.50.02.16) by doing fastboot boot radio.img, but that gave the following error: "reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error"
The Solution
I finally managed to install the ROM through the all-in-one toolbox. I selected under the 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option under 'Extras', the went into 'adb sideload' in twrp advanced and selected a rom I had downloaded (in my case ViperOneS). It started sending it properly (sending:'sideload' x%), it then showed the Team Venom logo and opened the aroma installer. I selected full install with a full wipe (to be on the safe side), and aroma then did its thing until it said "new ROM flashed successfully". I then rebooted and had to wait a few minutes for the first boot (as it had warned me), but I'm fully back up and running again! So If any of you experience a similar problem, you may want to try this out (and avoid the other things I tried.
Thanks for posting a solution. But I do want to point out that this is the development forum. As such, your post doesn't belong here. The General or Q&A forums are the correct ones.

Thanks Thanks Thanks !!!
I've been stuck on boot with every rom's that i've been trying to install!
I was becoming very concern about the problem !
I went from CM10 to the new Viper 2.0 but having troubles with WIFI I start testing others roms and than I become stuck!
Since I've TRW 2.3 and tool kit in my pc I give a shoot at your tutorial and it WORKS.
Thanks again,
Rui
I searched the forum and tried almost everything and it doesn't seem to fix my problem.
-The phone when booted normally will go into the logo then reboot automatically to recovery mode. (does not go into the actual OS)
-When i tried to flash CM from CWM recovery, i have the error (status 7) (tried twrp as well)
- When trying to flash RUU, it gets error 155 unknown error... i tried both using the exe files and flashing the OTA zip files using the all in one kit
i am not sure what else to do. i hope i can get some solutions to fix this.
More informatico?
Root, unlocked bootloader, stock or custom ROM, hboot...
It was rooted and bootloader unlocked but i forced RUU or something and it kinda worked. but the OS still doesn't load up. hboot is 2.15 and it was originally CM 10. custom rom. It was having problems as it keep shutting off when its in standby mode, I wanted to reflash it and reset it but it didn't work really well.
Bump. Help please. still have problems.
