HY, if the rom doesnt support radio it means it isnt built to cope with it,but you can install internet radio like tune in! Please press thanks if i helped

Try Flashing it via Recovery
http://download.chainfire.eu/342/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
Yes I ran into the same problem, some roms will not work, try another rom.
evo lte no rom
My evo lte is still s-on, and honestly i'm having so many problems with it. i'd like s-off but i'd have to do dirty racun and I don't have Ubuntu... anyways. right now i am having NO luck finding a rom that will work, i've tried charmeleon, mean rom, and a few others flashed them in recovery, flashed their boot.img in fastboot and I can't even see the boot image half the time. I did notice when the charmeleon rom was trying to install that it stopped when it said installing kernel and rebooted itself and I haven't been able to get past there. i'm not picky, at this point I want ANY rom that will actually work so i can have a phone again, please help
ps. I don't have a backup. I had several but somewhere in trying to figure things out, i wiped the entire sd card so i've just been installing roms and trying them via usb mount from recovery

thanks for the reply! I tried almost all of those roms and the download files have been deleted . can you possibly send me a direct link to a rom? also since i'm s-on... i heard HTC dumlock is a good alternative to flash kernels cause i've been using fastboot and they successfully flash but if i by chance get to the lock screen i can't pull the ring up to open the phone, it's completely unresponsive.

I flashed that update but I still get the same thing. binaries are out of date, and then superuser closes. when i hit the normal install it fails and i also have the option to update the binaries through recovery... maybe a stupid question. is there a zip that just has up to date binaries alone? right now i'm on sense five android 4.1.2

After getting request's to post this on its own thread... here's the stock, rooted & deodex'd rom that has been fixed... Superuser, HTC_IME FC's, and the updater script!
Dev's, use this as a base for your roms... If you are new to emmc partitions and updater scripts you can use this as a reference on how to properly mount, unmount and format partitions within the script. If you have anymore questions please post them on the 'Developers reference' thread located in this forum.
This rom is not going to be maintained, however i more than likely will update it as new OTA's rollout. Please only post rom development related items in this thread.
Stock--Rooted, deodexed 1.17.651.1 base rom!
thanks for this
I only wanted to add that as this is the base ROM that seemingly will be used to base other ROMS of off, that the VVM part of this ROM is broken. Uninstalling the package will not work, nor will updating to the latest version. Having to resort to Google VM.....
Not bashing by any means, just wanted to let you know, so maybe this can be fixed before it spreads to more ROMS as they are built. Only thing I found, OH, and the ROM is not R/W by default, seems its Read only.... easily fixed.
is there a reason why i get a stuts 7 error when flashing this?

I flashed the rom to see what u were talking about... after updating VVM, it's working perfectly fine. Make sure you're on mobile network as it seems to not want to update via wifi.
As long as im correctly understanding you.... i don't know any rom that mounts file systems rw by default. You have to manually mount them via adb shell, or adb remount.. or a root app.

Shouldn't be any reason, best way to help is to use these commands using adb shell right after you receive an error in recovery.
Code:
adb shell
cat /tmp/recovery.log
I have only flashed this rom using ClockworkMod 3.0, so i cannot say 100% that it works on 2.5... but so far it looks like you're the only one with an issue.
FYI: There's a guide posted on how to use ADB in this forum.

On mobile network... :-( Flashed the ROM x2 and what I get (Over network) is a continual "Verifying your account information" when opening VMM V. T.5.1.0.48, until it times out. Then when I select settings for it, at the top its greyed out and continues to say "Please wait, verifying ......".
When I press the button to "Check for update", it says "General Failure. Please try again at a later time."
Anything I'm missing>? I have re-downloaded the ROM, as well as re-flashed 2 x to the same conclusion....
Thanks in Advance Prelude......

Cybernook, sprint may be having issues where you are. I just tested it and mine updated, tho it took a reboot and had to make sure BT and WIFI were off.
After installing the rom I did the "update prl" and "update profile".
been using this rom ever since posted
no issues
works great
Apologies to you Prelude. I called sprint yesterday and they informed me they had been having VVM issue for 2 days (Up until my call). All is updated and working fine today!
Flash on........
I installed this rom but I can't get adfree to install new host updates

Actually I gave up on this rom for now.
For some reason the hosts file in etc/ or system/etc is a 0 file.
and will not read copy or move for nothing with root explorer or titanium.
Weird.
Thanks a lot anyway
the link to the rom is broken, gives a 404 not found error. can u pls repost, because im trying any and everything to get my phone up and running back on sprints network.
thanks
Any chance of a new base for the latest release?

Are you looking for the RUU , or this particular Stock Rooted Rom? If you cannot find a link you could just pull the Rom from the RUU. Then run it through the Kitchen.
Download link is down
I bought my S3 used and it was already unlocked but from what I can tell still had the stock ROM (base version says it is I535VRLF2 but DEVICE STATUS says it is modified). When it powers up, I do not get a CWM or TWMP screen -- it goes directly to the normal startup so I am not sure what the previous owner loaded/did. I do not see any folders in the root folder (using ES FIle Explorer) for CWM and nothing in DATA/BACKUP (EDIT: just saw build number is VRALG7)...
Today I got a notice about an OTA upgrade (to HE) and got help on how to freeze it (as I did not want to lose root and all the customization I did to some files) but now I am wondering what changes were made from F2 to HE. I did find a post that talks about the HE upgrade.
Was F2 the previous OTA for the S3, or did my phone miss other OTAs? And if so, I am missing out on some important changes where I should let the OTA happen and then go and unlock the phone again? I read a number of threads about 'the new radio' which I assume is software to improve the phone or WIFI. Am I missing out?
Thanks
Frank

I don't think you are missing out on anything to be honest. I did update mine and reroot without any issues, but can't really tell a difference. I would still do it so I can have the latest update on my phone since this one doesn't lock anything that we can't get back into.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
There has been only three official releases, F2,G7,and HE. Since you are at G7 I would go ahead and OTA HE. Latest ROMS are based off of it plus you will have all the latest firmware and modem.

Thanks for the reply. Will that break either my root or unlock (actually, I am not sure what state this phone is at since I did not do it -- I do find SuperSU in APPS, and have granted SuperUser to programs like Titanium Pro but there is nothing for CWM or other ROM managers...)?
Frank
If you did an OTA to get to G7 your root is probably gone. You said you have Titanium installed, try to use it. If not rooted it won't work and will advise you so. If this is the case do the OTA to HE and then you will be up to date stock ROM wise.

No, sorry, I must not have explained it correctly. Titanium Pro, ES File Explorer, etc works fine, and I can edit/delete/freeze, etc no problem. So it is still rooted (or unlocked, I can figure out which is which). I would update to HE but only if it did not mess up what I have....

Ok I understand now. Root and unlocked are two different things. You can flash an HE ROM and not lose your root. Unlock in your case I think you are referring to the bootloader. It will have to be unlocked prior to flashing custom ROMS. Get an app called EZ Unlock from the Playstore and it will unlock bootloader for you if it's not unlocked already.
I recommend CleanROM 3.1 if you decide to flash. Hope this has helped you some.
I'm trying to revert back to custom because i lost my IMEI but the process I was following required me to flash "VRALF bootchain" 2x and then flash "HE package" but i dont know where to get the HE package and i tried flashing root66 and VRALHD but they both failed can someone help me?

I am not interested in loading any custom ROMs (although I am hoping we get the official JB soon). The only thing that is of interest to me is to be able to run certain programs that require superuser access (e.g. Titanium Pro) and to be able to edit and delete files in the root directory. So I assume all I need is root, and I don't want any OTA updates to take that away (or overwrite files that I have modified or edited that deal with the OS). Maybe that is why I cannot find any reference to CWM -- the previous owner only rooted it but did not unlock it....

Got just the thing for you. First test to make sure you have newest CWM. Power down, Hold volume up,home button,and lock button at same time until phone flashes twice then release. This will put you in recovery and you can see what version you have. The latest is 6.0.1.2. If not you can find newest version or a touch version right here at XDA. Then if you want just a rooted HE version here you go.

Or you can download GooManager and flash TWRP for a more user friendly touch recovery. :laugh:
And flash the same rom from Scott.

OK. I have 6.0.0.8 right now. I am surprised it was there, as with my Nexus and my TP on a cold boot it would show CWM at startup. And there would be folders in the root directory (/CWM). But yes, I have CMW.
And OK on now being able to download and install a rooted HE. But most are saying it either does nothing or makes the phone run a little hotter, so unless I see a pressing need, I will just stay with what I have.
Thanks again.

I had tried TWRP with my HP TP and although it has a nice interface, one time, on loading a new nightly, it TOTALLY messed up my TP. I thought it was bricked. I ended up having to do a complete restore back to WebOS using WebDoctor and a lot of what I thought was code-level input via the PC trying to bring it back to life. Since then, I have only used CWM.
Thanks for the input though!

It is personal choice. I have not had any problems with it and have been running since device was released for pre-order. I run whatever recovery seems to be most stable for the device. CWM for Tbolt. Amon Ra for Rezound. And now TWRP for S3. Have seen more bricks and failed flashes contributed to CWM so I stick with TWRP.

The OTA installed with a custom recovery installed? Interesting. Usually OTA's fail if anything but stock recovery is installed. I only lost root but restored root with OTA Rootkeeper with stock recovery. Good to know that custom recovery can be installed and still get OTAs!

Hello! I need to restore my Photon Q to the stock firmware, ideally ICS. I have CWM installed, but every ZIP I see is either a custom firmware, uses .win files that are only TWRP compatible, or it's a file for RSD Lite. So far I haven't found any way to restore this phone to stock from CWM.
You're probably asking, "why not use fastboot or RSD"? I presently do not have access to a PC with administrator access. Therefore I can't install the USB drivers or RSD.
The reason I am trying to get back to stock is because for some reason, with EVERY custom ROM I have tried-- CM10.2, CM10.1, Carbon, SlimBean, MIUI, AOKP ... WiFi, BlueTooth and GPS are all broken. I don't have a cell plan for this phone, I just use it on WiFi- and I regularly use it for navigation. So, that's a pretty huge problem.
The weird thing is that I have had CM10.2 working with WiFi/BT/GPS before, and it was using the exact same ZIP. Weird, huh?
Thanks for any help!
RSD would be your best bet.
Perhaps borrow a PC?
Maybe someone with CWM will take pity upon you...
We're in the same boat...

I am also looking for a stable ROM.
Just like you, Cm 10 worked. I even tried Cm 10.2 nightly and that's when I started having problems. Tons of force start problems.
Now I'm back to stock ROM and for some reason, YouTube and Google Play won't work.
My Wifi stays white and never goes to blue. As well, I am not on any carrier and rely on Wifi.have been flashing ROMS since the original HTC EVO. This has been quite a challenge (with the incorrect bootloader instructions on Motorola's website not helping any..) but I'll let you knowif I can find a flawless recovery stock of Photon Q!!

Glad to see I'm not the only one in this predicament. I have seen that thread- unfortunately the recovery files are .win -- which I think is for TWRP only? I think the only way to get TWRP on here is with Fastboot, and that's not doable in my situation I thought I saw a ZIP somewhere on these forums but now it's nowhere to be found.
Thanks and I will post if I find a solution!

Hm, does goomanager need an internet connection to DL TWRP, or I can I somehow supply it with a file? .. I have no way to get the rooted Photon on the net, as I have no data plan and WiFi is broken. Thanks.

I suppose you can supply it with a file, although I am unsure of how to do so. Never attempted myself...
I use root explorer and it asks what app do you want to use to open file.

I've got a Photon Q sitting in the mailbox from ebay today, plan to root and use CWM (more familiar with it over TWRP). I can probably grab a nandriod image of the stock rom rooted (depending on the root procedure, haven't read everything yet) and can send that to you. That should get you there w/o need for network connection. :good:

sooo please tell me what going on right now, what is the state of your device, you are able to get into recovery correct? its not the stock recovery which is recovery 3e. it turns on but allot of the apps are not working. so since the signature verification failed, you are going to go to (this is assuming you have CWM NOT STOCK RECOVERY) install zip from sdcard then toggle signature verification, and try to reflash the rom you wanted and since the google play store isent working on your device you need to flash the gapps. it needs to be the version of android the rom you want to flash. (gingerbread roms dont need it but ICS and JB need it) just google gapps and look for the android version of what the rom is.

Before being a ****, make sure you know what I'm asking. I did not ask him could he get into recovery, I asked which recovery he had installed. Is there a block button for assholes like you?

That's the second time you've insinuated I didn't read the thread. I can read perfectly well, thank you. At one point he let on he didn't know which recovery he had installed and then he let on he may have CMW. Unless you have something to actually contribute to this thread or a valid question, I'd appreciate it if we just don't communicate with each other. It's a waste of space, which drives up server costs and i don't much like you.

well your going to have to wait untill you have computer you have admin rights for.
I used Sunshine, got root and S-Off, flashed a wireless tether zip. Right after, 4G speeds plummeted and no websites would load. Saw the closest to going back was to RUU, couldn't get it to open the file (even in the SDK folder after I downloaded and installed all files). Finally flashed another ROM and wiped everything from my phone.
Still 99% of webpages won't load on 4G. If they do, it takes forever. Not sure if it's anything I did, but just wanted to ask before it turns out to be some huge coincidence with Verizon. Thanks for any help.

Flash CleanROM. It's just like stock only better: debloated and tweaked, tethering enabled and more...
Thanks for the reply.
The wireless tether zip I flashed was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708548
The ROM I'm currently on is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716306
- Nothing wrong with it, just don't like the stock look and loading webpages is still not working.
I have fastboot drivers and adb as well as the SDK toolbox on my PC. I've been able to do most things following guides and posts here, but I can't RUU. When I flashboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip it gives error: cannot open 0P6BIMG.zip. I guess I could buy an external SD card and reader, but was hoping to fix this tonight/tomorrow.
Trying to download CleanROM for the 5th time tonight. The download stops around 300-400MB and there's no other mirrors for it. Currently at 700MB, maybe this download will go through (on PC). I'm really just trying to fix my webpage issue and go back to stock (or CleanROM is fine if it's similar). I'm willing to even donate a little to someone.

Scott's site is not mobile friendly, but he just put up a DevHost mirror:

The download actually finished, I even checked the MD5 of my download vs. on his site, matched. Wiped and flashed it, got dialer.apk stopped working, hit ok, popped up again, hit ok, phone bootlooped with 3 colored android lights on screen. Rebooted manually, same error, then something like phone.apk or android.google.something stopped working, hit ok, boot loop again. Pretty much have no clue at this point.

That sounds as if you dirty flashed CleanROM over the GPE.
Did you wipe cache, Dalvik and data before flashing CleanROM?
If not, do it and reflash the rom.
I may have messed it up, it was late last night. I have TWRP on it after following guides since I somehow lost the OS while trying to RUU different ways. Can anyone confirm everything I need to wipe so that I can flash CleanRom without wiping it from my internal storage? Don't have an external SD card and it won't sideload for some reason (I get error: cannot open romname.zip).
Edit: That worked. Except now it says CleanROM 1.3 in my settings lol and I swear I downloaded 1.4, since it was from the developer's site directly.
You do not need to flash a tether zip on that ROM or any other custom ROM

You're right. At the time I just wanted to add tethering and not change anything or flash any ROMs. Beyond that point now lol. CleanROM looks fine and is working well, it just says 1.3 in settings when I know I downloaded 1.4 from the OP's site last night.

It's a typo. ?
Scrosler provided a zip to change the version number. I believe it's in post 2

You are correct and thank you for the kind reply, unlike another in that topic who took the same amount of time to be rude for no reason. Thanks to all for their help, looking good now and working good, and extra features to boot.
