I am trying to install the Maui Wowie ROM and it requires BlackRose.

I keep getting this error during install.

* Failed to verify blackrose image then the install stops.

I've searched the thread and two other people had this issue, but I didn't find a solution. Any thoughts?
[HTC Incredible S] tazz131:
Trying to do the exact same. I have Blackrose 2.00

Need to update to 2.02, but getting the failed to verify Blackrose image error.
[HTC Incredible S] hospitalbed:
tazz131,

I followed the steps in this post and I got it to work fine. It is very easy and takes no time. For some reason just could not get the EXE file to work.

[HTC Incredible S] thelostlegend:
the latest ruu has hboot 2.03 how is it different from 2.02 and will there be an update for blackrose ?
[HTC Incredible S] tazz131:
Bah, just tried it...Still didn't work.

You are using a terminal app on your phone to run that su command?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Are you checking the MD5sum value of the BlackRose img before you attempt to execute the dd command?

Yes, you would open up the terminal app. If you don't get a # prompt when you open the terminal app, then you need to type "su" and that should give you a # prompt. If you don't get a # prompt, then your phone is not properly rooted and he should not attempt to perform the dd command.
[HTC Incredible S] tazz131:
Yup. The MD5 checks out. typed su, got the #prompt. typed the info required...Reboot, went into recovery, formatted cache...booted into Bootloader, and still on older Blackrose...

Grrr....

Can I zip the blackrose img and call it PG32 or whatever and install it that way? That's how I've done previous installations...
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You could give that a try, but I don't think it will work. The Revolutionary and BlackRose HBOOTs prevent themselves from being overwritten by another HBOOT img in a PG32IMG.zip file. That is why you need to use the dd command in a terminal window.

I'm curious by what you mean when you say it still has the old BlackRose version. What version does it show on the HBOOT screen after you run the dd command and reboot?
[HTC Incredible S] tazz131:
It says the following:

*BLACKROSE-B*

VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-2.00.0000

RADIO...

eMMC-boot

Does that B after Blackrose at the top mean beta? Am I completely missing something here?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yep, that is the beta version that was released back in December. Can you post the entire terminal app session when you are attempting to run the dd command so that I can see the actual commands and output?
[HTC Incredible S] tazz131:
export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

I'm trying to flash BlackRose, but I'm not allowed to do that, both with BlackRose_IS file or directly via fastboot.

Is it safe to flash this from the "ENG S-OFF RL HBOOT-0.96.2000(PG3212000)" bootloader currently being used on my phone??
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes if you flash it in FASTBOOT USB mode you should be good to go.
[HTC Incredible S] charch:
Alright, well I was thinking of doing it the manual way using the terminal emulator on the phone rather than fastboot/adb since I am not on Windows and the adb driver doesn't seem to work well on Linux... Is this safe?

[HTC Incredible S] nlooooo:
I'm not really sure but I think that there's no such a big difference, since hboot file is used to point the device on how to boot the nand, particulary how to partition it (which partitions and size). Comparing the info in 4ext I got no difference in size.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: USB debugging is on
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
Before installing blackrose, did your phone have met all the requirements?
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousss:
Yup revolutionary hboot + HTC sync installed and uninstalled + android debugging on from settings

Then I open the zip file with a file manager and inside I find the exe file but it won't work :S

Am I doing it wrong?
[HTC Incredible S] nlooooo:
Are you trying to install it running from your phone?

Oh my god...

Try running from your PC, and maybe it will work...

Also, try unpacking the zip content to some folder.
[HTC Incredible S] anonymousss:
Lol hahahahahaha I'm so stupid :D

Thx a lot mate will try installing from my PC.
[HTC Incredible S] nlooooo:
Just for you to know, all linux based OSs can't handle .exe files, they are made for Windows, so don't try to do that again. When you ran on .apk file (appication) you can run it, or a .sh file (script) using some script manager.

[HTC Incredible S] smt8544:
Is there actually any need for me to flash this? As in, what changes are there since HBOOT 1.13?
[HTC Incredible S] ZaySk:
If you haven't been able to successfully install blackrose yet, give this method a try.

- Download this

- Place it on the root of your SD-card

- Reboot into bootloader and the file should be picked up automatically

- Go through the update process

That's how I installed blackrose on my phone.

I believe the partitions have changed to accommodate ICS with Sense 3.6. Also a new /lib partition is available in HBOOT 2.02, although I haven't found a use for it myself.
[HTC Incredible S] H.e.S.a.M:
i download that file and install in bootloader but not change and it's still on 2.02

p.s. downgrade is not working for me, I tried. (my phone is from canadian bell) maybe I did not select the right ruu for downgrade :(
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Which ROM do you have installed? From the looks of it, you do not currently have a custom, rooted ROM with an unsecured boot.img because the BlackRose install is not able to get root permission to perform the upgrade.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

I know for a fact that the Opening Post of the downgrade script has a valid RUU that can be used for the North American IncS. You might want to check to see if you have the same one that nonverbose mentions in that post.

You need a rom with unsecured boot.img (something like CM7) to flash it. Just make a nand backup, flash cm7, flash BlackRose and then restore your backup if you still want your old rom.

1. Can I flash via 4ext recovery? I'm currently running BlackRose 2.02. (Gone through the previous posts, I guess answer is yes. Can some one confirm though)

2. After updating to 2.03, does the ROM like Nik project x, ukb which supports BlackRose2.02 would be compatible with BlackRose2.03?

Any suggestions please..

How do I install it? Just install via a recovery or flash via PC.. don't say or I'm just a lame reader :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes since it is a zip file, I can see why you are confused.

If you open the zip file, you will find a Windows executable program, so you need to unzip this file on a Windows PC, connect your phone to the PC and then run the program. The phone needs to be booted normally with adb debugging enabled and the USB connection in Charge Only mode.

I uninstalled BlackRose with the /uninstall command.

Now I'm on 1.13 S-ON ! And when I try to boot I get into the bootloader with a Security Warning!

I can't boot or enter recovery.

I wanna have my alpharevX s-off back or at least blackrose.

any ideas how to do it. the installation needs a running android and i'm afraid to flash to hboot_blackrose.img manually
[HTC Incredible S] nlooooo:
You can't run it manualy cause you're s-on. Did you unlock your bootloader over htcdev.before. If you didn't don't worry about security warning, just run GB RUU with 1.13 hboot and when you get a working stock 2.3.3 rom use revolutionary to gain s-off.
[HTC Incredible S] highKo:
thanks for your reply. i dowloaded the latest ruu now. can i do it with it, too? or do i really need a GB RUU (i guess just because revolutionary)?

and i only get ruu.exe files. how can i flash them, because the ruu.exe need a running android otherwise i get a usb connection error.

and i cant make a goldcard without a running android :(

EDIT

i'm took the rom.zip that is created while running the .exe , renamed it to pg32img.zip and placed it on sdcard. at least the bootloader is reading the zip.

i will report later because im wating that my gb ruu download will finish

EDIT 2

worked . copying rom.zip to PG32IMG.zip on sdcard.

[HTC Incredible S] butatx:
FYI, blackrose will stuck at 'waiting for device...' if you using CM10.1 maybe CM10 (i have tested it, restart PC + ON OFF USB debugging + reinstall driver + using other CM10.1, u name it, i have test all possible solution but to no avail). You have to revert to other rom, in my case i just flash ViperVivo v2.1.7 then run blackrose, it will run successfully.

If you run the dd command, i think you have copied the wrong file, you have to choose blackrose one instead of stock one (1.13 if i'm not mistaken). So now, you have to s-off back it using revolutionary and then run blackrose back, do not flash CM10++ yet, just flash GB rom or Viper Vivo.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Any rooted ROM will work (which is quite a good number out there). The requirement for Blackrose is really just Revolutionary HBOOT and unsecured boot.img (which comes from any rooted ROM). I would recommend downloading CM7 simply cuz its a small ROM (if i remember correctly, 90mb).
