I renamed built.prop and then tried to reboot my phone, but im stuck im bootloop.
Is there a way to flash the correct built.prop file back ?
First of all, why to rename build.prop? Then, just restore any nandroid backup you may have. If you dont then reflash your rom.
If you have a custom recovery you can make a flashable zip that allow you to restore your original build.prop. If not check if there's a recovery tool for your phone, if your phone is MTK you can use SP flash tool. :good:
I have stock recovery, but there is a option to flash zip from sd card.
Yes in stock recovery there's an option to flash a zip but you can't flash a custom zip, only an official zip

Ok, i will try to flash custom recovery.
Thank you for your answer.
Yes but remember that also if you flash the custom recovery you need your original build.prop

I used a mod ROM but I made a backup before doing that. The problem is that I use now CWM recovery (6.0.1.2) and I cannot restore the stock data. I get "Error while flashing boot image". I do not know what I am doing wrong
I go to restore from internal sdcard --> and I choose the restored backup
I have wiped all the data/cache & dalvik cash available. But still nothing. Does anyone know?
Did you use a different version of CWM recovery when you took the backup? If so it might have a different version of nandroid backup in it and be using a different backup format. If the CWM recovery is different, can't you put the original CWM recovery back on so the backup will restore with it?
Unfortunately I do not remember which recovery version it had but I am almost certain that it was the same version

An easy way to tell is to think about if you ever installed a new recovery. ROMs don't do that for you. ROM Manager has the ability to update your recovery image if you tell it to do so.
Your error is telling you that the recovery you have installed doesn't know how to handle the backed up boot.img. You could removed the boot.img from the backup and try restoring it again. Google it, if you don't know how to do that.
Does the MD5 check pass?
I just installed 4EXT Recovery, and it was able to restore my recent CWM recovery backups where CWM could not (>10,000 files bug). It appears that it doesn't support your device yet, but you never know.
Failing that, perhaps look at other alternatives. Maybe see if TWRP can restore CWM recovery backups, and if it supports your device.
Good luck.
Hi guys,
I am pretty new to this android arena, still manage to learn few basic things, like rooting, flashing custom ROMs, updating CWM etc. I have MMX Canvas HD A116 and 2 days back MMX has released v4.2.1 for Canvas HD. Though I have also found flashable ROM of v4.2.1 but I have been thinking little differently.
1. Can we flash nonflashable ROM without recovery.img just to save our CWM means just deselect the recovery.img after loading scatter file i.e. MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc
OR
Can we use CWM v6.0.3.0.img instead of recovery.img of stock ROM so that CWM will get flashed along with the ROM?
Is it safe to do it this way or should we stick to the traditional method of first flashing it normally that is first flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tool and then flash the Recovery image of v6.0.3.0?

Please stick on to the stock recovery while flashing. Afterwards u can flash the cwm u want!! I prefer ur second option, coz there are chances u can be stuck at bootloop!

Means I can select CWM recovery image in place of stock recovery.img and flash with all other files of stock ROM?

Nope!! You got it in the wrong way. I meant to flash the cwm seperately! After installing ur firmware
And if u can possibly select seperate files while flashing through the sp flash tool, u can select cwm recovery instead. Don't know much on sp flash tool

One user tried my way of flashing i.e. unchecking the recovery.img and it did work, his CWM recovery is still intact. I believe flashing my way is safe, if something goes wrong, your CWM Recovery would still be intact and we can flash another ROM using CWM.

I recently rooted my one s succesfully. I go through twrp recovery and try to install a custom rom always unsuccessfully. I think the problem is that it cant extract files in my sdcard after mounting it and puting the rom zip manually by pc there, but i am not sure. It stucks in the HTC screen with no further progress. What can i do?
Seems like your phone is s-on. If that's the case you have to flash the boot.img file manually via fastboot.

Mainly you can, better should do these two things:
1. Using TWRP version 2.3.3.0 for flashing as later versions exactly produce your kind of error
2. Flashing the kernel separately from your rom.zip file with 'fastboot flash boot kernel.img'
Hello everybody,
I have an htc butterfly from europe (EU verssion of the X920E).
I have unlock it with htc dev and instal TWRP recovery.
After a back up of my rom, i instaled the NOS M7 rom to have sense 5, but now, the official OTA is aible and i want to return to my original rom.
So i try to restore my back up but the phone work verry bad! no camera, no wifi and it bug some second after the boot...
I have restored it with the twrp recovery and i think that the proble is that twrp don't flash the boot.img and the boot.img that the NOS M7 can't work with original rom...
So how can i do to return to my original rom?
Thanks for your help
You have to flash boot.img separate try to locate in the backup.zip and flash after install backup

thanks for your reply but i have no zip file from my back up,
twrp makes a folder with the date of my back up and in the folder the files:
boot.emmc.win (16mb)
boot.emmc.win.md5
data.ext4.win (20mb)
data.ext4.win.md5
system.ext4.win (1161mb)
system.ext4.win.md5
so i have no boot.img to flash my boot partition...
here is the boot.img and the stock recovery.img from my x920e eu version JB4.1.1 (1.21)
without stock recovery you can't complete OTA
Boot.img
Recovery.img
thanks a lot! So i restore my back up with twrp and after i flash my boot.img and the phtone will work? i can flash the OTA with twrp to don't flash the recovery?
