[G2 and Desire Z General] soadfan:
I have an idea what is md5sum. But it is a good to check is the archive corrupted or not since flashing incomplete firmware isn't a good idea.

I'm glad with my .19 radio and don't see reason for changing it. If radio in the archive is the same then okay.
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
yup, .19 radio and something like 1.0.0.5 r6 4ext recovery
[G2 and Desire Z General] soadfan:
Okay, it's done. Now updating recovery console to r7
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
noticed people have had some issues finding the engineering Hboots lately

in case links are down i added them to my dropbox (link in op)

*my server is still down so i have been using dropbox more as of late,

when its back up again i will be adding loads of mirrors!

also nipqer has been kind enough to add many useful mirrors to his server - big thanks to nipqer for the continuous help in our forum!
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
okay i fixed a bunch of broken links, i tried getting my server working again but i guess im failing at technology again! so back to dropbox for now!

ill add mirrors when i get things fixed up right
[G2 and Desire Z General] arsonist63086:
To get things clear I can flash the hboot of my choice threw fastboot or threw the phone bootloader? Also do the hboots have everything in them, meaning radio, recovery and the eng-hboot or will I have to load everything one by one via fastboot? Yes I know I need to read but read that the op was going to make it simpler and just make a pre-packed .img so it can load everyhing in one step like the oem ones do?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Yep, if you have have radio soff ( rooted via gfree) you can flash one of the pc10img.zips through bootloader or if you prefer flash through fastboot (in a way safer but both options are quite safe) by doing this you will have 4ext recovery, the .19 radio with rcdata to go with it, and either the g2 or dz engineering hboot (depending on which one you pick - the drop box link has a read me with more clarification)

Or if you want only some of the images you can unzip it and flash any image through fastboot
[G2 and Desire Z General] arsonist63086:
Thanks man needed that clear since my laptop is dead and can't use fastboot and been wanting more ram on my g2 to be able to run more demanding app (games). As for the 4ext I already have and love it and the radio I also have so less flashing work for me .. thanks man for the .img package
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Not a problem but you do know that changing hboots will not give you more ram, it will change partitioning to allow for a larger ROM. The only way to get more ram is adding fake ram through Linux swap or compcache (zram)
[G2 and Desire Z General] arsonist63086:
Seriously? Damn was thinking I might get more ram from the adze hootboot since it would increase system partition size. That was the sole reason I wanted the dz hb. It it ain't going to give me the ram I want I have no use for it ... thanks again though for clearing things up for me.

[G2 and Desire Z General] DaBrinz:
can you go from fastboot to recovery? and if so could you add it in the first post? bout gave myself a heartattack when a black screen showed up.. but hey ty for the advice:good::good:
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Can't use the command line to go from fastboot to recovery but you can choose it on phone. Something that really should be added to the fastboot binary I will say
[G2 and Desire Z General] DaBrinz:
dig it. idk my phone just automatically took it upon itself to do a reboot n i had to pull the battery after waiting a while. thankx again
[G2 and Desire Z General] DaBrinz:
i recntly flashed flinnys 11 alpha 3 and am getting horrible battery life. will altermadus work with this build or do you know any that will?

what to do?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Boot to bootloader and write down everything in that screen here
[G2 and Desire Z General] sagun khadka:
if i only go in bootloader it doesnot show fastboot devices . i must go to fastboot for showing my device !

and plz note that i have s-on !
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
that's partially what I was trying to figure out, hence why i wanted you to write down all info from that screen

the best thing for you to do (being you have s-on) is return to stock, downgrade, exploit and root with gfree, then flash updated recovery then flash rom of choice
[G2 and Desire Z General] sagun khadka:
you mean to use ruu wright ? i used it but every time it tells battery is less than 30% even i have full battery % :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
No, I mean specifically use the pc10img.zip that I made in that thread

How do you know how full battery is if you can't boot? Power off and let charge for an hour or two
[G2 and Desire Z General] sagun khadka:
i can see it from 4ext recovery
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Flash CM7 from recovery and then pull recovery log and post it
[G2 and Desire Z General] sagun khadka:
ok i will try it
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Sorry, helping multiple people and forget who has which problem, looking back I see what you're after

Yes return to stock with the appropriate RUU and follow the xda wiki to downgrade and root with gfree, than once you have s-off you will be able to change any firmware at will
[G2 and Desire Z General] sagun khadka:
Haha thats the main problem here . I can't open my device it stuck in HTC logo then when I use ruu it tells battery less than 30 % even the battery is full ( can see it from 4ext recovery) then when I go to bootloader and fastboot then it doesnot tell battery less but it says error while rebboting bootloader ... What to do? I am made and note my sf is on and HB boot is 8.2000 ...... Something other deatail if u need reply me plz but plz help me fix my problem :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
ok, got it

so being you are s-on you will need to flash the kernel through fastboot after flashing a rom in recovery

do this

download EliteMod CM7 just checked the link and its good HERE

now boot to recovery and wipe all partitions, being you have 4ext recovery format all (except sd card)

now flash rom

when complete reboot to bootloader

use 7zip to unzip the rom on pc

extract kernel (boot.img)

use fastboot now

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

this should get you up and running

if not let me know, if so then i would suggest you soon follow xda wiki for how to root via gfree and get true radio s-off (life will be easier)

for further help please ask your questions in this thread thanks!

Happy flashing!
[G2 and Desire Z General] sagun khadka:
can u tell me best kitkat rom ? for htc vision?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Glad you're up and running, at xda we don't really discuss any best ROMs being it is subjective and often turns into a flame war.

Rather we suggest trying a few out and making backups of thrones you like. Being there are only a handful for this phone just start with the most updated and go from there!

Happy flashing!
[G2 and Desire Z General] sagun khadka:
i am not getting my phone s-off help i tried wiki but not helped me . note: my phone is rooted, i got superuser app !
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
It is one thing to be rooted and another to have true radio s-off. life will be easier if you ever get in a jam or want to change roms

if the xda wiki doesnt help than many like this guide made by [MENTION=4397266]strawmetal[/MENTION]

otherwise checkout cyanogens guides

if you have more questions or want help getting s-off ask here in the help thread and one of us will be right around the corner

Happy Flashing!

cannot get bootloader to scan...

hi demkantor. i have been searching high and low for an answer and i come here to this hboot post out of sheer desperation after weeks of not making progress. so bear with me...

my tmobile g2 is s-off, hboot 0.82.000, radio 26.02.01.15_M2, cwm3 recovery

i was unable to install rom zips. i decided i wanted to do a full ruu clean install. i cannot do it.

i can get into fastboot, recovery, and usb storage. i place the file (tried hboots, roms...) on the sd card. but i cannot get it to install. it either aborts or no permission, or installation does not happen.

i thought it might be an hboot issue... i decided to just downgrade to gb 2.36. and another day, i will move up to viperZ2 or purekat.

now, the thing is that from fastboot, it does not scan for the PC10IMG.zip file... neither does it install via recovery... so, i am kind of lost on how to do a clean install. this is a beautiful fon that i used for years before i went to m7. i want my kid to enjoy it for a few years. but i can't get it ready.

please sir, can i have more? :laugh: :confused: :D what to do? i have gone the strawmetal route, obviously...

thank you guys! you are all so super around here!
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
Hi [MENTION=5094276]pklunavat[/MENTION]

It looks like when yo rooted and got s-off you didn't get the engineering bootloader, you want 84.2000

See post thirty, if you can't get it to read your sdcard you can still use fastboot to flash it

Once done, you will need to update recovery to flash KitKat ROMs

See here

Let me know if you get stuck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] pklunavat:
Hi there! Thank you so much for fielding this!

See, that is what I mean... I did read that post (#30) a few times.

I did have eng s-off initially. I had this phone perfect for a long time. But I tinkered with the hboot, and then other things, without realizing the error.

i am not able to flash (or sd) the hboot (84.2000 or any other). that was why i mentioned some sort of master clean install.

again, thanks! :cowboy: :eek:

edit:

on attempt to apply PC10IMG.zip, recovery cwm3 says: finding (fine), opening, and then E: can't open /sccard/PC10IMG.zip (bad), installation aborted.

i will continue in a few hours. thanks again.

SUCCESS! We did it! Thank you so much DemKantor!

The problems included: Not having the correct 84 hboot... I needed your DZ 16MB packet... Not understanding the diff between hboot and fastboot (i thought that white screen was all the same mode)... and not really focusing on replacing the hboot until the last 2 days. now i know that (re)writing an hboot packet is the best clean install i can do. You focus and focus. Nothing works. Suddenly, it all clicks, with a little help from some friends. Funny thing, this life. thanks again!
[G2 and Desire Z General] hamxa266:
Hey ! Can any tell me what is this imgs for "rcdata.img , tp_atmel1224_20aa.img,tp_atmelc12_20aa.IMG" and what codes should be use to install them via fastboot

Edit: and also tell me that erasing partition like userdata , system , boot . would not brake any partition ???

Thanks in advance :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
rcdata is radio data, if you change your radio then you may need to change this too, but not always

fastboot flash rcdata rcdata.img

And not erasing through fastboot does not break partitions
[G2 and Desire Z General] hamxa266:
And the rest of them ??

More than likely it will, but do a full wipe of recovery first and then flash a new recovery, this alone may fix your issue

urgent information needed! primarily, , whats your partition size?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HTCdevel:
Do you have made following steps, which i have extracted from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898913

____________________

For MAGLDR NAND Boot;

1. Download recovery with partition size for the type of rom you plan on using, see guide below if unsure.

2. Extract downloaded file and load magldr into USB Flasher mode.

3. Run DAF.exe and follow instructions

4. After completed and phone reboots, hold power key and select AD Recovery from list

5. Recovery will now load

____________________

To run the DAF.exe, you must be administrator, otherwise you get an error message.

Before starting and this is the question of samsamuel, you must have the correct partition configuration. You can edit it in the flash.cfg and the information for the entries you can find in the description of your choosen rom

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
And this is why these posts are closed and lead to no where. Here we have one person saying yes and another no. "Stable" is subjective because of how differently we use a rom. Different apps/settings/usage.

The best advice anyone can give is to try it out for yourself and find out if it works for you
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
The ROM itself is pretty stable but it depends which applications you install, then it gets tricky. I've used it for two weeks with mixed results. Battery life was meh, but it was a decent ROM. Got rid of it today and went back to GB 2.3.7 cause its ROCK FREAKING SOLID (BlackICE 1.6)

P.S: I agree with the guy above me ^ flash the ROM yourself and see if it's stable for you, install some apps you'd normally use, setup email, tweak it as you like it e.t.c. Only then can you see if its stable for your uses
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurby:
using it as my daily driver, no reboots, even though im a pretty heavy user, just make sure to try different kernels, for example i feel like the performance and battery is better on the bfs kernel rather than CFS.... and the room is VERY smooth

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
there is a dealboot on the SGSII... we could (hopefully, maybe, dont old me responsible if you do) use it! right? i mean we used the international kernel before... why not???? just dont use bootloader or modem

ok the kernel would work ( haven't tested but i (and other dev) have used the international kernel) but the eMMC chips are different ( ibelieve) and that might cause issues with the recovery sense samsung doesnt like to use boot.img files there isnt a recovery.img either

EDIT:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Thought this was for only international edition of the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Maybe once the source drops, but I do believe it would require a hacked bootloader. Then we could tell it to boot something from the internal SD. But to truly dual boot we would need a custom PIT file so that we could have 2 system images instead of 1.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
it is
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
it takes 2.5 GB out of the internal sd card folder and creates a second system folder, then at boot the user tells the kernel what system folder to boot and thats how it knows what ROM to boot

Actually there is. I wish I could remember the name of it for you. But basically you plug the phone into the PC with the phone on. Once that done you run the program on your computer.
