[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Fas1h:
I am on custom ROM right now, phone is rooted though and just unlocked the bootloader a couple days back. I was wondering, if I flashed the nAa-11 kernel, will I still be able to use stock ROM on it until I install some GB ROM? Or do I have to flash the GB ROM right after flashing the nAa-11 kernel for the phone to work?

Just for the record, I like doing one thing at a time then checking if phone is fully stable before moving to the next step... Makes me TOO nervous :p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
:) The ROM's are all compiled against a particular kernel, so stock rom won't work on the nAa-kernel, and most GB-roms won't work on the stock kernel.

You want to flash the nAa-11 kernel, do a reboot, and press the back-button several times until you get into CWM :) That's as sure as you can be that everything is stable at that point.

Then you can do the usual steps for installing the ROM, (Wipe data, cache, etc., install from sd-card)

If you forgot to put the ROM on your sd-card you can connect your phone through CWM in the mounts and storage section, mount usb-storage) and then copy the ROM to your phone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] globed:
So I am in need to reflash the whole system via sdcard through the stock recovery! I am still locked. Now what happend was is i updated from .13 to .14 booted up got a scroll of errors. It only allowed me to use the apps i had moved to my sdcard. Soi checked es eile manger and my whole system file was gone so i rebooted thinking it was a fluke or i was seeing things and now im stuck at the boot screen.

I have tried to use the recovery to flash the firmware update and it ends up with a red exclamation above the androids chest.

If someone could explain mayb im doing it wrong. I have tried renaming the .zip 201_SDUPDATE.ZIP n nothing so nehelp would be great thanks.

My screen cracked yesterday at some point. Pretty sure it was stepped on while in my messenger bag in class. I didn't notice till this morning when I looked at it while taking it off the wall charger. (Plugged it in in complete darkness and didn't notice)

i.imgur.com/gBIsZ.jpg < not allowed to post images with my post count I guess, just a picture of the damage.

Bummed me out, I searched around, seemed replacement screens were about 80-100 bucks, like the link above. Called Amazon, they would replace it for $100. Seems worth it to pay a little extra to Amazon to get a factory Kindle rather than worry about doing it myself.

Just my two cents, but this came all of 4 days before I leave the country and well over 12 hours of flights and layovers. Guess I'll bring my hard copy books instead...

Hi

I ask for help about installing an update via OTA

on my MB526.

my version of the system is 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE

I installed 2ndInit on my phone.

Now the update was released 45.0.2310 (27MB) via OTA.

I have chosen to download and install it.

When I agree to the installation, the phone will restart to update but

freezes the update failed.

How can I do? The problem is to boot with 2ndInit?

Sorry for my bad English.

Not much, unless you are wanting to compile Gingerbread from source. If it contains UCLA3 updated source, it might help some of the developers of the latest ROMs to tweak their builds.

I would be very careful changing any of the system icons until we get a deodexed stock rom. If you do I would suggest using hashcodes stock rom on the safe side of safestrap as a precaution. Its always better to be cautious when we have no fastboot files.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dalton42503:
I hope I am not posting where I am not supposed to, but I desperately need help. I am a noob and have managed to brick my inspire, or at least that's my guess.

I have tried loading the stock images using the PD98IMG.zip files that I have found throughout the site, but nothing seems to be working. Please help, or if you can point me to someone that can I would greatly appreciate it. I hate to be a pain, but I don't know what else to do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED. The term bricked means that your phone is a useful as a brick, i.e. if you can get into HBOOT, it's not bricked.

Gotta ask though, why did you not use the Hack Kit as its the only reliable method to root, my advice to you sir is when this gets cleared up READ AND EDUCATE YOURSELF before you really do brick your phone.

If you have a SDcard reader, pop out the SDcard and place one of the PD98IMG stock ROMs on your SDcard. From here you can reboot into HBOOT with the sdcard in your phone and HBOOT should pick up the PD98IMG and flash a working stock ROM. From here, you can root with the Hack Kit...

This will help you, read it and do what the stock ROM option...if you can get into HBOOT
[HTC Inspire 4G] dalton42503:
I have tried doing that, it says loading image, then parsing, then goes back to the hboot screen, it doesn't say press volume up to update or anything else as I have read in many other posts. Am I doing something wrong? As far as not using the hack kit, I didn't really stumble on that until after it was to late, sure wish I had found it in the first place. Guess if I could just get it back to factory, I would accept that doing this isn't for me and not mess with it again. I am good at following directions, but nothing I have tried seems to work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
is the file named exactly "PD98IMG.zip"..you may also want to check the hide extension option to be sure its not hiding the .zip because if it is and you renamed it to "PD98IMG.zip" with the hide extension on, the phone will read it as "PD98IMG.zip.zip" and you would get that error.

haha and yeah man, we've all been there...I don't want to discourage you man, rooting is such an awesome experience and the hack kit is a pretty straight forward process, if you do the research and take the time to understand what you're doing, but lets see if we can help you out here first. I had the same issue you're having when I tried to flash a radio (same PD98IMG method you're trying to use) and it turned out to be the hide extension issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dalton42503:
I had also verified that as well, I went under tools, folder options, view tab, scrolled down to hide extensions for known file types and unchecked... And, everything was correct, just verified to be on the safe side.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
hmm, so its named PD98IMG.zip caps and everything? If its not working you m ay have to get a stock RUU and run it through fastboot..
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
This is why you should educate yourself first. You do not need to unlock the bootloader from the HTC dev site. Now you could flash the the stock ruu from the PC and then use the hack kit. Check the stickies in the Inspire general section for more help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dalton42503:
I understand that I should have been a little more educated first now, but I thought I had everything in order, thats what thinking gets me... I have tried running the stock ruu, but it gives the following error.

ERROR[155]: UNKNOWN ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

I did notice the Image version the program shows is on the phone is 3.13.0.0, and it is trying to put 2.47.502.7 on the phone... Is this the problem? If so, whats the solution, I am so lost now its not even funny.... I apologize everyone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Dalton, lock your bootloader again. Boot into fastboot and plug the phone. You will see fastboot usb at the top. Then plug your phone and open cmd session. Once there type fastboot oem relock. Once that is done, try flashing the .exe file in the HTC site (original GB update), making sure that you have HTC Sync installed.

If that fails, then I would try using the HACK Kit to gain S-OFF and root. You will then be able to revert to stock or flash a custom rom...
[HTC Inspire 4G] willm98G97B:
Had a similar problem when using aahk my own fault and I took care of it. Long winded, so short of it, are you trying to install through

1. hboot or 2. on the computer using HTC rom update?

I ended up trying 2. But ended up using aahk to finish.

HTC update errored out and the recovery portion would not work, just in a boot loop on HTC logo

This was good news as aahk could take over on USB during that HTC green letters white background.

I'd suggest reading the effen manual run the tool to get it up and going, figure out what you want to do. I've used it to return to stock with s off before go back into roms.

So look at those options know what you want and then power on the phone USB connected and during HTC screen enter your number the kit should take over and give you what you asked it.

That should give you a working rom image.

[HTC Inspire 4G] jimcasey1768:
Dalton,

I would suggest following glevitan's and willm's assertion of getting s-off and root to use custom roms. Custom roms are WAY better than anything HTC has to offer, and much easier to install, if you have an issue warranty wise, you can always return to stock. Just make sure you know how to flash correctly, search for it and you will find easy instructions, and if memory serves, a youtube video which helped me greatly.

ok...try downloading the RUU from the hack kit. Rename it PD98IMG and put it on the root of your sdcard. Then boot into hboot until you get prompted to update....the name of the file should be PD98IMG-GB1.zip

Or try the tool created by Gene Poole. You'll want the GB version.

I have been rethinking my position on unlocking my bootloader but I have a few questions before I take the plunge. Please, only people with R800x experience reply so I don't make my decision on faulty info. Thanks!

1. What kernels work with the R800x? I know of 1 besides stock, and it's DoomLord's.

2. Is the stock kernel for the R800x easily available to return to stock? Update: my kernel is 2.6.32.9-perf SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

3. What ROMS will become available that I can't use now? I'm mainly interested in ICX and CM versions. But what else might I want to consider?

4. If I unlock and later Verizon releases an official ICS for the R800x, can I put everything back to stock and relock to get the update?

5. If I relock the BL, do I have to pay to unlock it again?

Those are all the questions I know to ask for now. If there are other things to consider (besides warranty issues), please let me know. Thanks, as always, for your help.
