[Q] ROM Manager wants to install Clockwork

Hey,
I would like to use the ROM manager, but he always wants to install clockwork.
I've already installed Clockwork but using a different method.
What can happen if I install it now again or how do I solve the problem?
Yet another question:
How do I find out which ROM I need? >Click<
Thanks.

I have another Question:
Whats the difference between the following ROMs:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_10.42.9007 .00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192608_signed
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007 .00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_192183_signed

As I know, the latest ClockWork Mod has issues with charging when the battery is dead. The fixed one has Blue writing, others have Purple and Orange I think.
I never used ROM Manager, so I don't know. You should wait for someone else to answer this

This is the link I used, as my RUU isn't listed in the other thread.
So, I'll give you an example of how I found out my ROM.
Basically, the file name says everything.
Open (Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information)
This is the RUU I used.
Code:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.0 0U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_197242_signed.exe
I'll split the file name into parts to make things clearer.
- RUU: (Rom Upgrade Utility)
- Pyramid: It is the model of the HBOOT I think.
- HTC:
- ARA: I bought the phone from Saudi Arabia, which is an Arabic country.
- 1.34.415.1: Software Number, can be found in (Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information)
- 10.43a.9007.0 0U_10.51.9007.27_M3: Radio/Baseband version, can be found in (Settings -> About Phone -> Software Information -> More)
- 197242: The build number of the ROM I suppose.
I believe you should take note of those before flashing Custom ROMs, as if you ever want to get back to Stock ROM.
I hope I cleared it up a bit for you

Thanks! I have a nandroid Backup of my Stock ROM, so I can check this.

I was going to ask the same thing. I had already installed Clockwork recovery using the fastboot.exe method after unlocking the bootloader. When I selected Check for ROM Updates from ROM Manager it said that Clockwork needed to be installed. Is there any harm in installing it again with this method? I did make a backup of my ROM using Clockwork.

I think it was just talking about flashing to the newest version (there are a lot of different versions of CWM linked on these threads and guides, but mostly they go to 4.0.14, and the latest is 5.0.20). The newest version has faster backups, but it looks like there are sporadic reports that the recovery won't charge when at low battery, which if true is a regression as this bug was specifically fixed in 4.0.14. At least that's my impression from reading the forums.

[Q] recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation link not working

Hi there,
I am working through the Guide to Unlocking your Sensation and the link to recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation is not working.
Is there another place I can download the file?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lizzie.
Edit:
Looks like someone updated the MultiUpload Link. Thanks guys!

You may download it from here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/ Just search for ....pyramid.img and flash from fastboot.
But I suggest you to get the latest v 5.0.2.0. Works fine in every aspect.

New CWM Version?

How do I update to the new version? Will it affect the back-up files that I have already made?

Make sure you are connected to the internet via mobile or wifi. Then go to Rom manager. Open the app and press Flash ClockworkMod recovery and the bottom should list your old one and the phone will flash the new one automagically

now if i try unlock bootloader with htc dev method
fastboot oem get_identifier_token ---> [ERR] command errror !!!
Edit : WrongForum ....

may i ask how to flash the .img file?

I'm using the guide to S-OFF etc...
It states to use recovery v5.0.0.8.
A file called PG58IMG, I cant find this, I've S-OFF'd and I'm looking to update and then use recovery.
What's the best file? Does it need to be the Zip file?

I have uploaded CWM 5.0.2.0 here: http://www.axifile.com/en/EC384AC809
MD5: 85b5f10c9afe33fb50396bd5f54bc7de
I just flashed it on my phone and it seemed to work fine, I was on 5.0.2.0 and still am ;-)
I uploaded and downloaded it and it's the same MD5 as the one on my phone that worked.
Just rename to PG58IMG.zip boot up from scratch (Power and Vol -), vol + to flash. When it wants to reboot after flashing pop the SD-card out and rename it after booting.

I came across this, it might be abit outdated but I'm guessing it'll work fine.

I've flashed the ROM, just rebooted... I'm guessing the first boot will take awhile.
Will all my data be on the phone?
I guess by checking System settings etc I can see if it's worked.

....I remember how frustrated I was when I found out that there were no working links anywhere. But, maybe I just didn't know how to search.

If you're changing ROMs did you Superwipe before flashing?
If you Superwipe all data/apps on the phone will be zapped, the SD card should remain intact.

Erm, I've only gone from stock to ARHD 4.1.13 so far...
All I did was S-OFF, CWM Recovery and flash the ROM on.
I haven't done anything else yet.
All my apps and data on my SD card are fine atm.
I do want to flash an ICS ROM onto my phone, I'll be following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Yes, that was my exact feeling. I mean if you get a brand new £250 phone, then your not going to mess around with it, are you? No. You are going to try and get the prefect amount of information and clarity so you know you won't mess up.

In the ARHD (mike's) thread there is a SuperWipe script in the downloads. Use that when changing between ROM flavours, or if recommended by the dev when changing versions. E.g., VI from 2.0.0 -> 3.0.0 required a SuperWipe.
MAKE sure you take regular Nandroid backups before/after you changing anything.

That's precisely it, I've had my Sensation for a while now and want to get the full user-experience from it. I know it is irritating for you guys to have to answer the same Q&A's over and over again, I did try reading everything but with so many answers and so many flavours it's a bit overwhelming.
I might write a guide from a noobs perspective (for noobs) on what to do...

Oh right ok, well I've been advised to change my recovery to EXT4, which I'll do tomorrow. Nandroid backups, is that when I go into HBOOT and choose Recovery? That's a good idea. So when I do go to update my ROM to ARHD 6.xxx for ICS I'll use Superwipe to clear out my app etc... So by using recovery I'll keep my app data/saves etc?

Problem installing ADRH 6.7.0

Hey, I have a Sensation 4g, I was running ARHD version 3, on 2.3.4 android, I installed that around febraury.
Now I wanted to install the latest Android Revolution HD 6.7.0, I did everything as the list suggested I update the firmware( PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100). But when I install the rom everything goes as normal except that when I reboot in never boots into the rom, I have leave it over 20 mins, and nothing happens, I have tried several times, and I tried to restore back to version 3, everything seems "Restored" except it won't pass from htc logo again (I think it's because I have an updated firmware)
So, how do I manage to install the lasted arhd , or how do I do to downgrade the firmware in order to have it working again, I would prefer to have ICS, but I can't manage to do it, Please help, as my phone is unusable now.
thanks

Nice detailed description of what exactly is going on, we need more people like you on sensation forum (no i'm not being sarcastic, I'm just glad you have given clear, detailed description instead of crap like I read in other posts "help my phone wont boot" and no other details - sorry, rant over )
By the looks of it, I'm guessing you didnt super wipe when upgrading to lastest ROM version? when coming from GB ROM to ICS you need to do a full/super wipe otherwise phone wont boot.

I remember seeing the exact issue when installing ARHD 6.6.3 for the first time. What I did is just updated the firmware and tried booting to the old stock rom. So this seems to be due to an unmatched firmware. Is that 3.33 firmware u used?

hey, thanks. I did updated the firmware as it stated on the guide, and that would make my firmware unlocked, I was on 2.32. I don't know if that's you're referring with the updating firmware, if there is another way that I can try let me know.
Also, would you suggest that trying to install other rome would solve this?

ohh you are still stuck ..and somehow ive missed it ( i forgot to subscribe to this thread :silly
ok
shall we go by step by step ?
1.can you post the bootloader details (complete stuff present in the bootloader ...a screen shot of it would do too )
2.if you can use adb/fastboot ..and have them installed already
can you please connect the phone in fastboot/bootloader to pc (phone reads "fastboot usb" after that )
then post the complete output of this below command
(except IMEI and serial number)
fastboot getvar all
3. check the md5 of the ARHD rom you have downloaded ...and verify it against the one given in the thread ...just below the download button it will be there (in general)
(md5sum can be done via 4EXT recover itself ... 4EXT -> install from sdcrad -> calculate/check md5)

Maybe he flashed from GB to 3.33?

Fingers crossed that it works.
But I will probably need someone to give me these two items once they get a phone to correct the configs.
Post the file /proc/partitions
Post the file /proc/mounts
For the adb commands. "adb shell" then "cat /proc/partitions" and "cat /proc/mounts" Should work.
EDIT: Thank you to he_stheone64 for giving me what I need above. Now I can make a fully working recovery.

just curious, to get updates

My device has T-Mobile UK firmware (1.28.61.7) and I will be looking to go back to stock soon to hopefully receive official 1.29 firmware update.
I need the appropriate recovery for my device but am not quite sure what that is. I have a nandroid but this was done in CWM after rooting.
Is the recovery of 1.29 different to 1.28 and do I need a T-Mobile specific recovery or is the generic recovery just the same?
If somebody could point me in the direction of the recovery I require it would be much appreciated.

I am trying to return my 1.28.61.7 device to stock using a rooted nandroid which I made without any other modifications. After many trials and tribulations, I managed to unroot by removing SuperSU and binaries but, after installing 'stock' recovery my device still says relocked and tampered and will not boot into recovery.
I am, however, able to perform a full wipe from within android though.
I would really like complete clarity on this if anyone can help me as I need to get back to stock to get an official update when it appears as there are no stock nandroids available or any RUU's for my device.

Tampered showed @ hboot is because you have "unlocked" before

[Q] [Help Please] How to install Custom Rom in HTC one x (AT&T)

I have HTC One x (At&T) US Version and using it in India.
It has Stock ICS 4.0.4 and Already Rooted,
Already S-OFF,
has Custom Recovery TWRP and
SCID is 111111111 and
Software number/Build Number is 2.20 and
Kernel version is 3.0.8-01558 .....
Now my Questions is :
1. How to Update is to jelly Bean and if i Update it to Stock/Custom jelly bean then do i have to unlock/S-off it again? If Yes then How to do it? Any Given Link will be Highly Appreciated.
2. I read some Posts/Comments on some 4.2.2 Custom roms threads that "Highly recommend latest Jellybean firmware".. what does that mean? (my confusion is if i already have latest jelly Bean Firmware then why would i search update for jelly bean? )
3. if it is recommended to have latest jelly bean firmware before update to 4.2.2 then can anybody give me the link for that?
4. HTC One x AT&T has beats Audio.. if i update it to Any 4.2.2 Custom Rom.. then will beats Audio Work on new Rom? (I know it is Noob Question but i really want to know because i want Beats Audio For Music)
Thanks in Advance

1. All you need to do is install a stock 4.1 ROM from our Android Development section. Or you can install a custom ROM if you want to. The How-To Guide For Beginners link in my signature details how to do this, along with other basic operations.
2. The reason there are recommendations to flash the 2.15 firmware is because many people with a modified phone don't have the latest firmware even though they might have the latest ROM. In the world of modified phones it's completely normal to switch ROMs without changing your firmware. For someone with an unmodified phone the only way to upgrade your ROM is to also upgrade your firmware. Before deciding if you need to do this (you most likely do) I need your bootloader details, the first five lines.
3. You'll find the firmware package along with install instructions in the first post of this thread.
4. Yes, Beats is incorporated into all current Sense ROMs. If you decide to install an aosp ROM it isn't incorporated.
Further to all those answers, I'd strongly recommend you do a lot of reading before proceeding with anything. Modifying a phone requires a certain level of knowledge, without knowing what you're doing (and the consequences) you can quickly get in over your head and end up with a device that won't boot, or worse.

I'll put it like this, I researched for two weeks before modifying my phone.

First of all thanks a lot for replying So fast and giving your time to help me...
my bootloder details:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID- 11111111
HBOOT-1.14.0002
and also my Software number/Build Number is 2.20 and
Kernel version is 3.0.8-01558 ..... is it ok or first i need to update both ?

If you want to update to Android 4.2.2 and Sense 5 you first need to flash the 2.15 firmware found in the thread I linked you to before. Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so all you need to do after flashing the firmware is to install a ROM of your choosing. If not, just look in my How-To thread for instructions on how to do that. There's no need to worry about your current ROM/kernel, flashing a ROM will update those.

i have build number 2.20.502.7.. do i still need 2.15 firmware?

For the third time, yes. Your build number is irrelevant anyway.

i am stuck at firmware...this error comes everytime... screenshot attached... please see ...

Try opening the command prompt from within the fastboot folder. To do this just navigate to the location on your PC where fastboot.exe is located, then shift + right click anywhere within that folder, then select open command prompt here. Now start the process from the beginning. Then when you get to the part where you flash the firmware you don't need to cd to the location, you just do this:
Code:
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

everything has done successfully... thanks a lot for you help...
but
when i rebooted my phone (ICS) and gone to Settings>about>Software Information... it still showing 2.20.502.7 710RD.... is it normal or something is wrong..... Attached Screenshots both.. phone and my command window.... please check this.. (i am sorry i am disturbing u
a lot coz i am noob :'( )

You still have the 2.20 build number because that's the ROM version that is currently installed on your device. All you have done so far is update your firmware, that's completely separate to your ROM.
At this point all you need to do now is install a ROM. You'll find Sense 5 ROMs in our Android Development. You'll find instructions on installing a ROM in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature.
To install a ROM you first need a custom recovery, go into your bootloader and select recovery, tell me what happens.

Yes, i have already installed Custom Recovery TWRP... now i think all i need to do is install a ROM .... so should i directly install any 4.2.2 custom ROM or first i should install 4.1 then after 4.2 ?

You can install any custom ROM you like, no need to install a 4.1 ROM first. But you should make a backup, check my How-To Guide For Beginners thread for instructions on how to do that.

Installing a stock ROM doesn't affect your bootloader or your s-on/s-off status, it only writes to the /system partition.
That ROM does contain some at&t elements, but whatever SIM card you're currently using should be perfectly fine. Once you've SIM unlocked a device you can use any SIM card on it.
Basically you can use any ROM found within our device forum and you'll be ok.

Exactly which version of TWRP have you installed? Did you make a backup earlier like I suggested? If so you can use the restore feature in TWRP to restore that backup of your previous ROM. I do need to know which TWRP version you're using though.

Also, did you check the md5 of the ROM after downloading it?

Ok there's your problem, TWRP 2.5 is full of bugs. Download the modified version of TWRP 2.6*from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you should be able to install the ROM.
An md5 is like a digital fingerprint of a file. It will be listed on the download page for a ROM/kernel/radio. What you do is use an md5 checking app/program to check that the md5 of the downloaded file matches the md5 listed on the download page. If it matches you're all good, if it doesn't match it means the file became corrupted during the download. You should always check the md5 of anything you're about to flash, a corrupt file could damage your phone if you install it.
Once you have installed the ROM you should reboot back into TWRP and use the backup feature to backup system/data/boot. Then if you have any problems in the future you can use the restore feature to restore it and you'll have a working OS.
It's also a good way to have your favourite ROMs backed up. Once I decide I like a ROM I set it up with all my apps and settings and then make a backup. That way if I ever want to use that ROM in future I can easily restore the backup and have a fully setup ROM ready to go. It's much easier than installing a ROM from scratch and setting it up all over again.
