I think you're correct but I don't know how to get the phone to recognize the internal SD. Each time I've gone through recovery to mount the sd it just unmounts itself again.
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Have you tried mounting it through TWRP? If so does it show up with both storages? If it shows the internal storage is it blank or is there stuff on it?
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
I asked that before and he said that it mounts and then after reboot it unmounts again.

Oh yeah, I forgot it wipes data too
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
Recovery

I used Amon Ra recovery before to try to mount everything and to try to flash a few different roms. I will load up TWRP now and see what, if anything that does.

Also, when I apply the RUU it does say OK next to data so I'm not sure why it can load everything except for System.

So confused and about to just spend 60 for a pre 2 to hold me over for the next month and a half until my upgrade. But I would, obviously, prefer to get this going rather than bite the bullet.

Thanks again guys.
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Im wondering...have you tried fastboot? I think you said earlier that ADB doesnt work but im wondering if fastboot does. If it does im wondering if its possible to fastboot flash system system.img ??? I have never tried it before but i think it could potentially work...
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
HOLY!

Just tried to mount everything using TWRP and it looks like it semi worked. I'm at least recognized while connected to the computer and ADB recognizes my device as being in recovery!

So, any ideas from here?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Try a factory reset from twrp if that doesn't work then try and flash the stock recovery, extract it from the RUU and flash it. Then do a factory reset from hboot.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Yay! I told you that TWRP would work! Ok now format your internal SD card. Then we'll talk.

We already tried all that and it did didn't work. He should format his internal sd card through his computer.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
?

So, in ADB, how do I flash the RUU files? Sorry for the noob question.

Also, I tried to install two different ROMs from TWRP after wiping and both times I got an immediate fail with the following message:

"E:Unable to open zip file.

Also when I did the wipe, I got the following error message: "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext.]
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Have you tried flashing from the other SD card?
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
Also, I checked the file manage from within TWRP and it shows nothing in the internal_sdcard
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Did you check to see if you can use fastboot? If you cant install any roms from recovery you could try what i suggested earlier and try to "fastboot flash system system.img" to get system.img you would have to take it from the Global RUU, if it works it should allow you to boot into the stock Global sense 3.6 rom. To use fastboot btw you have to click the fastboot tab in bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
+1
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
Fastboot attempt

OK, so I have the phone connected to the computer fastboot is enabled and the phone is recognized. I've extracted the system.img file from an RUU . . . where do I put it so that I can flash it??
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Put it in the same folder that you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe in. The execute the command and it should take a while if it succeeds because it is a big file.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
No dice
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
Flash stock recovery and tampered should go away.

Flash vinyls hboot

Flash amonra

Flash Rom

Let me know

Btw you can't RUU without stock recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1843030 <- Vinyls hboot
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Try this. Not really sure why it would work though, but it's always good for a change up.

(P.S. You can RUU without a stock recovery, I've done it many times. The RUU just replaces the custom recovery.)
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
It is what I did to fix the identical problem.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Ok. If you say so. It can't hurt to try it.
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
dark ghost is correct there is no need to be on stock recovery to run an ruu cause the ruu contains the stock recovery..
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
I have pretty much exausted almost all of my ideas for today so i hope you guys can figure it out. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
I said "Btw you can't RUU without stock recovery"

Ok couple things here. When I say "you" I mean the guy with the problem ok. RUU will NOT work for him without stock recovery (it wouldn't for me). At this point if he flashes the stock recovery the "Tampered" will go away in hboot and the RUU will work (it did for me). If he tries it I feel very confident he will come back here and let you know that it worked. Also if you flash an RUU the way Verizon and HTC deliver it ...its an exe file that you run on windows. I believe that method requires stock recovery also which is what I used when I ran in to this problem.

Just try it man like they say it won't hurt and when it works come back and let us know. I had this problem and this is how I fixed it. I JUST went through this within the last 2 weeks.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Sorry if you took it the wrong way. We weren't blaming you, and now that you've explained it more in-depthly it seems more plausible. Thank you for contributing to the discussion. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that none of us would have thought to do that, and if it works then who would have known.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
No Go

Just tried to follow your directions and couldn't even flash the signed_recovery.img that I extracted from an RUU. I get the following error message (the same one that I get when trying to flash everything else) : "error cannot load 'signed_recovery.img"

I was very excited by your fresh look at it but it didn't work . . . unless I'm not using Fastboot properly which I don't think is the issue.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
Don't Give Up

I really thought we were getting close . . . please don't quit on me. Is there any reason that when I type "Fastboot Devices" it indicates that my device is connected but then won't let me flash anything to the phone?
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Did you flash the new Hboot that drynyks suggested? Its possible it might help. Make sure to match MD5 sums though because this CAN and WILL brick in the event you get a bad download.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
I haven't tried to flash the new HBoot because I couldn't even flash the stock recovery. How do I flash the HBoot? Through Fastboot again?
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
Isn't this the error you get when fastboot can't find the file you are trying to flash? are you putting the recovery file you are trying to flash in the same directory as fastboot.exe? make sure the recovery file is in the same DIR as fastboot.exe (it is less work than typing the path). Another thing you can do to make sure its in there is when you do the command to flash "fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img" put only part of the recovery file name in and use TAB key to autocomplete the name of the recovery file. If that doesn't work the file isn't in the same DIR. I would tell you to jump in IRC and I can help you fix this.

Also what RUU are you pulling the recovery file from? Here take this and stick it on your SD card and flash from bootloader it is signed recovery.

http://home.comcast.net/~drynyks/PH98IMG.zip
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
I pulled the signed_recovery.img from AndroidPolice, I think. The file name is RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_3.14.605.12_PH98IMG

How do I go into IRC? I would really like to get this thing going again.
[HTC Rezound] drynyks:
that is the wrong recovery for 1 if you have HBOOT-2.27.0000 like you posted.

Just try putting that file I just posted on your SD and flashing through bootloader. "Tampered" should go away.
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
To flash an HBoot you use a PH98IMG.zip that has the new hboot.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
When I flash the file that you posed it says parsing and then nothing happens and I'm right back on the HBoot screen. Should something else visibly happen after "parsing" ?
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
You flashed the HBoot or the recovery that drynyks posted? It should say complete and ask you to reboot. Is your bootloader locked, relocked or unlocked? If its unlock i would try locking it just to try it. Even though being s-off its supposed to let you flash anything no matter what.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
I am Locked and S-Off. I tried flashing the file that he posted a few times and each time it just runs the bar up the top right of the screen . . . says "parsing" and then goes back to the regular HBoot screen without doing anything.
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Try doing HTC dev unlock and see if that helps with anything. to unlock the bootloader follow this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvSeLmXSjVI its possible that "fastboot oem unlock" might work aswell but i doubt it.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
I just did the HTC Dev. Unlock and the phone is now unlocked and s off but flashing that new HBoot file (signed_recovery.img) is not doing anything.

Any idea what to try now that it's unlocked?
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
Flashing the HBoot that was provided from HBoot kept doing nothing so I tried flashing it using the AndroidFlasher app and received the following error message:

Thanks for all the help guys. I'm starting to feel like nobody is left trying here but I really would appreciate it if someone could figure this out.

Hahah jk. If you can get to hboot its recoverable. Plain and simple .

By any chance are you on windows 7?
[HTC Rezound] Matthenson20:
OK Silverman.

I want YOU to tell me exactly what u have right now on your phone,Hoot version, etc

Can u get to recovery?

And will your PC recognize your phone?
[HTC Rezound] Mechadan:
This is sort of hard to follow. People suggest something for OP to try, then he goes and tries 3 different things, and maybe what was actually suggested. It makes it tough to follow when someone says, "Try flashing the stock HBOOT" and OP returns with "I tried flashing stock HBOOT" and then names the signed_recovery.IMG file he flashed. Did you try flashing the stock hboot or the stock recovery? This still isn't clear to me. It would be nice if we could just slow down and OP tells us explicitly what command he input and what error message he received and then stops and waits for more feedback.

Perhaps only one person at a time should be helping him, because I worry that him trying three fixes at once might be causing some interference between the different fixes.

Just my opinion reading all this.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
This is going to be a very delicate procedure. First, find a custom rom based off ANY ICS, NO GINGERBREAD. Get that on your external SD card. Have Amon RA download on your PC. With Amon RA downloaded, go into a command prompt where the .img is located for it and type in a PC command prompt "fastboot boot recovery.img".

Once you're booted into Amon RA, using volume -(down)/+(up) and power button(select) go to "Format data system cache Ext4 | Ext 3", choose the "Format all to ext3" option. Once that takes return out and get into Flash Zip menu, choose zip from sd card, locate the custom rom placed on your external sd card and confirm flash. Once flashed, back all the way out and choose reboot. Now it could take upwards of 5 mins for the rom to load so be patient.
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Now that you got Snuzzo here it shouldnt be long before you have that rezound working. ;)
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
fastboot flash recovery thenameoftherecoveryfile.img

EDIT: oh I see what you're doing..

In that case, fastboot boot recovery thenameoftherecoveryfile.img
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Nope I am positive it's "fastboot boot **name of file**.img"
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
OP, what screen were you on when u tried adb devices? Adb usually only works when the OS is booted. With usb plugged in, Can you get to the hboot screen, then choose the fastboot screen? From there try doing command fastboot oem lock to relock your phone. Then try running ruu twice. Ruu won't work if device is unlocked.

Can you find a zipped ruu, rename it to PH98IMG.zip and put it on root of sd card then open hboot?

Will post some more in a bit, I have seen your error message before I think.

From my buddy scotty:

the s-off process can damage the sd card,it was highly recomended to use a small,cheap spare for the process. you can start by doing a full format in the PC and see if that fixes the issue.

the ruu for 4.03.605.2(the "world phone" update) is here: Shipped ROMs

i would strongly recomend to run the ruu,thhen "clear storage" in hboot with the stock recovery still in place. after the phone reboots,reboot a second time. make sure youre getting 4g. if so,then you can go ahead and reinstall a recovery,flash superuser or a rom.

not clearing storage will give you sketchy,unstable data.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
You're welcome ;)

We already got this fixed.

It will if he is S-Off, which he is.

He is having trouble with the internal sd card not the external one.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Try going to the hboot menu and choose the clear storage command. It is basically like doing a Factory Reset from recovery but somehow wipes things just a bit cleaner because it's built into stock hboot.

Trying to help someone else today so I'm getting my issues confused. But here are NilsP's instructions for flashing the latest global RUU. using a PH98IMG. I hope this is not redundant.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
It sorta is. It's not like he doesn't know how to flash an RUU, he does, he's just getting am error while flash /system, and then it won't boot. And we already tried the HBOOT factory reset.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
OK, googling that error message about can't mount /dev/block , I think I have found out what the issue is. On the HTC Desire it's referred to as a USB brick, but is recoverable.

Try entering these fastboot commands then rebooting:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 (unblock your sd-card)

fastboot oem eraseconfig (fix misc partition)

Here's the original post (from Android Forums, posting only because this is an emergency fix situation)

If those don't work, the original post and another HTC desire post refer to replacing the /misc partition using this command.

fastboot flash misc mtd0.img

I don't know where to get a clean mtd0.img because I've never had to do it, perhaps another poster can suggest. But try those fastboot commands first.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Thanks! :) Now we're getting somewhere.

@ASilverm

Can you meet Neo here tonight?: LIVE CHAT

He's going to try to help you out.
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
Hopefully neo can figure out what his problems is in the live chat if ASilverm sees the message in time, ill probably go into the chat aswell to hopefully learn a bit. :p
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Hopefully; ASILVERM READ THIS: GO TO THE CHAT! :P Anyway I'll probably go too.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Better luck today? 9:15am Central time which is around 2 hours from this post
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
come to chat to hang out too. :D

as to the op, if you can get to hboot you are not bricked. The term bricked is misused a lot. not my fault of no one its just a common thing.

Bricked = Bricked. you cant turn it on, the pc cant detect it, you cant pass go, and you dont collect $200.

now with that being said. if you find time come join us in chat and we can trouble shoot your problem.
[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Did the fastboot commands not work? Cuz that's pretty much all I got, unless there's a hardware issue.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
He hasn't replied yet.
[HTC Rezound] Neo:
Asked for help then dropped off the planet... Hope he has not given up because it is in no way bricked

[HTC Rezound] brenuga:
Lame...ASilverM, if you fixed your phone, please make a donation to Snuzzo...I never would have saw this thread if darkghost hadn't posted in the Funky Kernel thread.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I am patiently awaiting the outcome of this as well. Can't really help further unless knowing any errors (if any) spit back out by Amon RA.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Your welcome ;)
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I am going to assume that worked. If you need anything ASilverM, don't hesitate to pm me.
[HTC Rezound] texascfdad:
I was curious to see if it would work too, what the issue was. Either way I'm learning stuff. If snuzzo's suggestion didn't work, would you think its a hardware issue with internal as? Or is internal sd just a partition on the same chip as your hboot and recovery, thus if it was bad, you couldn't flash hboot or recovery either.
[HTC Rezound] ASilverm:
SORRY

I'm sorry I disappeared for the past week. I got really fed-up with trying to fix it and got slammed at work. Long story short, I GOT IT TO WORK! I'm not sure who to thank and I'm still not sure what finally got it to work. Ultimately, I was able to flash the stock HBoot provided by one of you using AndroidFlasher. Once that was flashed, I connected via Fastboot and used an RUU exe. to update it. So, my only issue now is the phone won't connect to 4g. If I put it in Airplane mode for a minute and then switch back it will show 4g for about twenty seconds and then it switched back over to 3g.

I really am very thankful for everything who contributed to my ultimate cure. I'm not sure who gave me the ultimate remedy but THANK YOU EVERYONE. Oh, and if you have a good idea for the 4g issue I would love to hear it.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
First try a factory reset in hboot. If that doesnt work run the OTA PH98IMG.zip located here...

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/

Download the zip, check md5, place it on external sd card rename it to PH98IMG.zip. Let it run through twice in HBOOT. Do a factory reset and reboot.
[HTC Rezound] darkghost568:
Yay! :)

Finally I've managed to gather all the important widgets from 2.1 to 2.3.3 and renew them so that they can match with the new Xperia widgets.

How to install: flash through xrecovery or push through ADB. From now on CWM recovery is also supported so installation is even easier, after you're done flashing, go to recovery and fix permissions.

Here is the page of Revamped Widgets in case You want to keep in touch with the project:

https://www.facebook.com/RevampedWidgets

MediaWidget now supports newest xperia gallery and has new widget preview, check the last screenshot to get the idea.

This is how all the widgets look like:

Enjoy ! :highfive:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Ganesh A:
Is this for ics or gb??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Denie46:
It works for both, i've tested it on Achotjan's Debrand Engine Cm9 and they're completely functional except for the media widget, it opens the music player only, and doesn't recognize the new gallery, in it's next version i'll try to fix that.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] blueurge:
Thanks A tonne!! :thumbup: works smooth
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] NuriJ:
Ive tried the media widget but it doesnt show up in the.. widgets menu.. whats wrong? im on sde cm9 (and using sony laucner)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Denie46:
Install it with ADB and put it in system apps, also, if it doesn't work this way check the option "install" and it should show up.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] NuriJ:
Edit MediaAppWidgetProvider.smali in MediaWidget.apk.. just a tip ;)

@serge327, there you go buddy, download the attached file, extract it and then put the two files to system>font.

@IDreadman, you can also use some sort of root explorer and go to system>app, then paste your desired widget there. Then hold on the pasted widget and click permissions, check them as shown here:

Definitely there will be more widgets to be added. Also, these widgets here will get another revamp, this time im planning on changing them so they will look like they are taken from xperia z :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] fingerr:
Cool :) can't wait to test...

Just one question, what is the difference between "Xperia S *' and "CWM*" widgets? I've tried Xperia S widgettimer and it didn't work (didn't show in widget list) but CWM widgettimer worked. I'm using DonutHD2.2.9 ROM.

--

thanks in advance and best regards

figerr
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Denie46:
Actually the difference is between Xrecovery and CWM. Some roms are using CWM recovery (as the one you're running on ) and only files flashed with CWM are working. Others use Xrecovery so CWM recovery files can not be flashed. Otherwise both files in Xrecovery and CWM are widgets from Xperia S :)
