Hi guys.

I posted a thread the other day asking for help with superoneclick, I have since taken on board the advice given, and scrapped the superoneclick route. Instead I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1525100 , which was going really well, up to the point where I go into recovery, and try to install from sd card. I tried the method with the reaper v2.1, and now also with blind roms pacman rom, and neither show up when I go to install from the sd card. I downloaded the roms, and unzipped them in the sd card, not in a file, just into the card itself, they then show up, but only as "boot" and not as "boot.img" as I'm sure it should say, they also still say they are a "winzip file", which surely if they were unzipped, they wouldn't say this?

Seemingly everything else I did is working as it should, I have an unlocked bootloader, I have enabled adb and fastboot, it's just the putting the rom on the sd card and then locating it when I go into EXT4.

Can anyone please shed some light on to what I may be doing wrong?

4) Open the rom (.zip file) you downloaded in step 1 and put the ''boot.img'' file in ''C:\android-tools'' seems to be the part where it all goes wrong?

Thanks for now.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Geez, so many things done wrong.

I hope someone will have patience to explain all of them to you, I'll just tell you 2 things:

1) Guides assume that people can tell file names from file extensions, and know how to see both.

2) I highly suggest you leave your phone alone. You don't have enough knowledge to safely proceed, and definitely don't have enough knowledge to pull yourself out of trouble, which you'll eventually get into.
[HTC Desire S] nixon.:
I appreciate any feedback or criticism, as long as the end result is me figuring out how to root my phone.

I THOUGHT I'd followed the guide pretty closely. I'm inexperienced,yes, buy so is everyone when they try doing something for the first time. I've been reading all I can to help give myself some much needed knowledge.

But guess I'm doing something not right, I'd very much appreciate someone being uber patient with me,and showing/telling me what it is I'm doing wrong.

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
What needs to be on the sd card is the zip file of the rom, not unzipped or anything. Then you can install the rom from recovery, assuming you did all the other steps right.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
He has unlocked bootloader, which means - telling him how to install it without explaining what to do after (flashing boot.img) is a great idea - if you want to get his phone not to boot anymore.
[HTC Desire S] nixon.:
^^^^ Which will be why my phone now wont go past the white screen displaying HTC.

But I can still boot into 4EXT recovery, but when I do the backup/restore, it does nothing, just comes back to 4ext, or if I reboot, the white htc screen.

As it will go into 4EXT, it's not bricked, I guess it cant find the stock rom in the system to restore back to.

Not sure where to go now....Ebay for a replacement perhaps :silly:
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Sounds like if your tire goes flat to trash the whole car for parts :) lol
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
He was following a guide which included flashing boot.img, so I (perhaps over optimistic) assumed the right boot.img had been flashed.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

Yes your problem now is that you haven't flashed the boot.img from the rom you've installed.
[HTC Desire S] yaonos:
deleted
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
In step 1 you copied the ROM zip file from your PC to your phone. :D

In step 4, you should open the PC zip file, not the file on the phone's sdcard. X(

That's the only thing you did incorrectly!

^^^ thanked

Thank you for pointing out my mistake, now at least I realise what I was doing wrong, although now my phone is beyond my own repair, I shall have to see if I can send it off somewhere to get fixed.

Thanks again
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Why is it beyond your repair? Have you flashed the boot.img from the ROM?
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Exactly, just flash the boot.img from the rom you flashed and it should work fine.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
And if "flashing boot.img" sounds too complicated, try googling "fastboot flash boot boot.img", and going to Youtube for tutorials.

Your mistakes that I referenced earlier weren't only unpacking the ROM - this wasn't the problematic part - but when you did unpack the ROM and didn't understand anything from the boot.img file you saw, it meant that you have no idea about files and extensions, which usually means that it would be a bad idea to expect you to be able to freely use command prompt without detailed directions (and the guides always assume some level of knowledge - some more, some less). If you were to follow a better guide, the one that gets you S-OFF, it wouldn't matter - but since you've unlocked the bootloader and forced yourself to have to flash boot.img by fastboot, I didn't count on a happy ending should you proceed. I hate to be right in these cases.

You need to learn several things:

1. What are file extensions and what do they mean (mostly for yourself, but also for further understanding of the issue).

2. How to enable your OS to show file extensions to you, so you can see them and understand what file you're looking at.

3. How to open command prompt (you already did that - when you unlocked. now you need to do it to communicate with the phone in the same way).

4. How to use fastboot to flash boot.img (kernel) from command prompt.

Not too complicated, but it would have been better to learn that in your free time while having a functional phone, rather than in a rush to bring a non-working phone back to life.

Good luck.

[HTC One V] Jeremicus:
I was hoping to get some input from all of you on what your preferred setup for overclocking/undervolting the One V are. I've been playing with custom roms since I got my device but really haven't put much time into finding the best settings to combine performance/battery life. Running the plain CM10 rom I dont find performance to be an issue but I'd love to know how much I can undervolt the device at different cpu ranges without hitting any huge instability issues (and overclocking isn't ruled out if I ever feel like pumping even more performance out of it)

Thanks in advance

Probably a really noob question, but i am not sure which version of the GTab i have, 10.1 or 10.1 v1. how can i find out which version i have?

Many thanks in advance,

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefQoN_BE:
The easiest way is to look on the case from your tab where you bought it in,

V stands for Vodafone and they also have a different look, check google images for the 10.1 and the 10.1V version
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeduk:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DefQoN_BE:
No, you can also have 3g on a Gtab, the V is just a vodafone model from the Gtab 10.1

Hello people,

I valorize the sound quality in any rom... Do you know which one provides, today, the best audio quality? Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHaso:
That has nothing to do with the ROM.

Libs in the phone. Theres mods like beats, clear audio +, acid
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prefetch:
Avoid AC!D

Stock rom with the Walkman player.

Word of warning, don't go anywhere near AC!D audio. It's a whole bunch of rubbish applications an libs that actually make the sound worse!! I installed it yesterday, and then restored my Nandroid backup and noticed how much richer, fuller and clearer the sound and bass was in the original Walkman player using the built in sound enhancements compared to the AC!D mod :good:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overdose1986:
This is 100% true, acid mod and beats etc only make the audio quality worse

Sparta Charge is the rom with the worst audio quality

For audio quality better try Stock or any rom based on stock without sound mods

If you want the Xperia S walkman player I can give you it without garbage sound mod
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammiSaysHello:

Hello to all

The day before yesterday I flashed on my YAKJU GN the 4.1.2 TAKJU factory image and then the TAKJU 4.2. I am rooted with SUPERSU, I have CWM touch and i use an app to disable lock-screen widgets, other than I am stock.

Has anyone faced the same problem?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Haven't had this problem myself, but it sounds like the kind of issues you get with a dirty flash. My best guess would be to try a complete wipe and a fresh install. You may want to wait to see if another member has a different take on it though. Did you restore anything with Titanium Backup?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajhutp:
Greetings

I'm looking for help with a Desire Z A7272 that does not connect to any GSM network in my country (Peru) after changing the MicroSD card, unbelievable as it sounds.

It was working fine, I replaced the MicroSD with a class 10 SanDisk. After turning it on, it recognizes the SIM card (I can access the network operator menu) but does not connect, all bars are grey with a small white "x". and a message "Limited Service". The SIM works fine in other phone. Tried a new SIM card from both operators (Movistar and Claro ), same result.

Trying Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile Networks autoselects GSM/WCDMA when I try to select GSM Only. Network Operators lists both networks, Claro Per y Movistar, selecting any of those returns "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".

I removed the MicroSD, removed battery for 1 hour, disabled FastBoot, switched airplane mode on/off, reinserted SIM card, entered *#*#4636#*#* and turned radio on/off, and other advice found on [How I Fixed "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" G1] at [The Wichita Computer Guy] web page.

Finally, I did a factory reset, no solution. Updated to the latest HTC update. It remains the same, "Limited Service", all bars grey.

Phone was bought from Hong Kong thru Ebay, unlocked and new. Came with 2.3, unrooted, Up to this moment, it worked perfectly (2G+EDGE only, band is wrong for 3G) and has been pampered and barely used, just for reading ebooks and angry birds once in a while. When replacing the MicroSD card, I didn't even touch the SIM card.

Thank you.

Hello,

actually i use the mwakious ROMs, but after intalling the new VErsion 15.1 (first base, than update + wipe) nothing works anymore. Often i het a bootloop and if it doesnt fail to boot i can enter my PIN code. After there is just "HTC" on a white screen. What is to do?
[HTC EVO 3D] Amel.Spahic:
Try with "wipe cache+dalvik", then."fix permissions". Change kernel..flash a new one..and in the end..maybe you used "install from sd card", except "apply update". In that case, rename your 15.1 to "update.zip" and put it on root of sd card. After you install 15.0 (base), reboot, wait for it to settle..maybe you will have to reboot it anyway if it freezes..Then go into recovery and go with"apply update.zip"..it should be ok..

White screen shows while ROM is settling. Just wait for about minute max..
