Hi,

Please try to mention which android version, who made the ROM and if it is a source build or port .. Please try to mention that it doesn't work in the Dev thread. Also about ROM suggestions, it's against the forum rules to suggest which is a good or reliable ROM but I'll tell you, all android 4.3 Roms are almost fully stable. Free ram etc you will have to check yourself. Please don't ask ROM suggestions.

Flash recovery error

Rooted fone user, nextgen rom installed.

Guys, whenever i try to go into "recovery" from "3 android skate" menu my fone hangs up on htc logo-green bg. then i have to re-run the procedure ( fast boot-->recovery.bat file) and i can use CWM recovery again, only for 2-3 times though.

some say its the faulty device. i want to know if there is anyway to check whether really its my device fault or some other issue ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
I think you may have to flash the recovery again .. you can use the recovery.bat or by cd-ing into the folder containing fastboot.. and placing any recovery image in that same folder type :

fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

recoveryname is the name of the image of the recovery.. for further details if you couldnt understand you can try visiting the TWRP thread where it has been explained in detail and more than one method of flashing it has been mentioned.

About faulty device.. ? Can you explain in detail what error ? with a picture if possible
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prabhat228:
Thanks, i ll look into the mentioned thread fr details.

Bout device, i read on various blogs that if i cant flash recovery the usual way, it means that device has some hardware fault.

stuck with fastboot only.

Hi everyone,

I am in big trouble with my Pico. I unlocked it and installed a recovery boot (philz_touch 5.15.0_pico). Then I went in recovery mode to install superuser.zip and it failed. now when my phone restarts, it displays the HTC logo, power off and restarts over and over. the ony thing I can do is to get into Fastboot. when I chose recovery, it displays the HTC logo, power off and restarts over and over.

I think what went wrong is that the internal memory was pretty low (20Mo) when installed superuser.... but its only a guess. I also did not enable USB debugging, so maybe it's because of that.

So as a neeby, I really need some help to get my pico back to life.

Should I simply install a ROM using fastboot flash zip rom.zip?

Thanks in advance for any help
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Bricolux:
I read another thread saying that the pico with radio version-baseband: 1.18.80.18 always makes this error!!!

in addition, there is no RUU available for this version!!

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
fastboot flash zip rom.zip

will NOT work. Reflash the recovery from the fastboot.. read a few posts above me for details..

You can try the recovery from JaggyJags rooting tutorial in the android development section. Which ROM were you on when trying to install the superuser.zip ? You must know that only stock ROM doesnt have root by default. All other custom ROMs have root access as soon as they are flashed !!

Can you link me to the thread that says that ?

I am not sure if you can find RUU.. but since a site.. which was a major database of RUUs for pico was taken down.. there is no RUUs available for some devices...

Some of them which are available are at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Pico

request for wifi direct fix..

Hi,

I am using sense 4.0 build#8 lite rom on pico.

It is ICS 4.0.3 ported from htc one v asiaindia

wifi direct is not working ...when i turn it on, the phone simply reboots

Plz give me a fix for this...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Bricolux:
still stuck

Thank you for your help red devil,

I already tried 2 recovery (TWRP 2.6.3 and Philz_touch), without success. Each time I go to Recovery, the phone loads the HTC screen and keeps on rebooting. The first time after installing the recovery I could go to Recovery to install the superuser.zip file. it also loaded the the THC screen before the recovery menu appeared.

I am still on stock ROM. I just unlocked and installed the custom recovery Philz and went to recovery to install the superuser.zip where it displayed not installed because error. Then it rebooted but I couldn't find the superuser of course and I had 2 warnings that some google app crashed. the next time I went to recovery to attempt reinstalling the superuser.zip it displayed the HTC screen and keeps on rebooting. so I am stuck with fastboot only and cannot install any other ROM!

here is the thread: //forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f485/htc-explorer-a310e-stuck-htc-logo-1661164/

it says:

"This device has a bug with factory reset in rooted phones, if you do it from menu goes to htc logo stuck screen.

You can try 2 things:

first in fastboot mode identify your cid with:

fastboot oem readcid

and try with official RUU ( id there's any for you id )

Or instead you can try flash a custom rom"

unfortunately there is no RUU for my radio version-baseband: 1.18.80.18 on ww.androidruu.com !

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mkln786:
Hello experts please help me i'm recently rooted my phone and added jaggy's cmw recovery on his thread and everything goes well .

then i want to increase my internal memory and i searched on this forum i found a tutorial I'm created 2 partitions as "primary" and "fat32" , i',m in stock ROM ( i think it's original right?) but when i opened link2sd first time it's asked to choose from 4 options and chosen fat32. as my device supports it. and i restarted the phone again opened the app and there is one problem I'm facing is when i try to creating link app and it's files to SD . it's giving me an error like "not installing insufficient storage" but i have 1gb free memory. so pls tell me what should i do now ? i tried to repartition and same thing again and again but facing the same problem... pls help me .. sorry for my bad English .. I'm so frustrated with my phone's low memory problem..

:(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Check the MD5 of the ROM.zip and that is provided along with the ROM if it is not.. ask for someone else who has downloaded the ROM to provide one :) . ensure they match.. also ensure that the zip gets completely copied on the Fat32 partition before you disconnect your PC .. if that doesnt work you can try to change the recovery..

Still doesnt work.. have you flashed an overclockable kernel ? If so then carry out the nand recovery procedure .

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

I personally dont like Link2sd. If I were you, I'd flash another custom ROM which uses a custom kernel (Almost all custom ROMs use custom kernel) along with a script like mounts2sd or int2ext+ and an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition on sdcard.. that works almost flawlessly
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mkln786:
presently I'm on stock Rom and I don't like to flash a custom Rom now. I just want to increase my internal memory , is it not possible on stock Rom? I tried using link2sd many times but my second partition not mounting and when I try to link files to sd card it's giving me error like "insufficient storage" please help me to increase my internal storage.... :(
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
I had used link2sd more than a year and half back.. so I dont quite remember what the steps were to use it.. In order to use other scripts like int2ext and mount2sd in stock rom you will have to get init.d support and also you will have to flash a custom kernel..

then use the mount2sd app from playstore or flash int2ext
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mkln786:
firstoff all I'm new to this , so don't know about init.d support. I have followed link2sd tutorial but my second partition is not mounting but it's showing "1gb" free but when I try to link apps 2 sd it's showing an error "insufficient" storage.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Flash a custom kernel.. as stock kernel doesnt have any support for external partitions
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mkln786:
but I saw other users are using second partitions on stock Rom , also give me guide link for flashing custom kernel.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Well, changing kernel doesnt mean changing ROM. If you can type in the question for asking a link to the guide.. with the same amount of effort you can find a link to it.. by using the search function.

partitioning sd card to ext2

Hi, Is there any recovery for pico that can format sd-ext to ext2? I can't really use mini tool because I don't have a computer . Or is it possible to use tiger sense on pico with ext3? (I know the dev has clearly stated to use ext2. Just asking)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Mostly it should work with ext3.. he must have mentioned it cause ext2 is faster in terms of read/write speed as ext3 is ext + journaling..
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Bricolux:
Thanks to all of you for your response.

I dont think it is a problem of the recovery since I tried several of them without success. Going from fastboot to recovery, the phone is loading the HTC screen and it bugs before it comes to the recovery menu. Does everyone know what is loaded there? Will a "fastboot flash system system.img" repair the problem? Where can I get the system.img?

What is a procedure to generate a log?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mkln786:
I'm new to this filed and i searched forum but i'm confused i can't find kernel , i found different type of custom roms .. i would be helpful for me if you give the link pls.. thanks ...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
This thread might be useful for you in finding your custom kernel or whatever you want.. keep it bookmarked : Explorer Index Thread!

Do

NOT

flash kernel 3.x.x for Stock ROM as 3.x.x is meant for only ICS +...

For flashing kernel.. there will be a flashable zip that is available on the ROM thread ...

Also make sure you read this thread FAQs

No that will not fix your problem. System is not related to what you are saying. System is the actual ROM into which you boot.

Did you flash any overclocked kernel ever before ? Sorry , but is your bootloader unlocked ? Which recoveries did you flash ?

To flash custom recovery , on fastboot USB mode do

fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

hey, I used to have stock rom with link2sd and it worked fine..and even I also had this issue(in the beginning). To begin with, make sure u hv updated superuser app and permission has been granted to link2sd.

-->for reference, please post the "storage info" screenshot of link2sd.

I'm unable update the superuser app because of low internal memory problem ... yes i have set permission granted to link2sd..

-->i have 8gb class 4 memory card is it safe to set the first partition to "FAT"? as it support only 1 or 2gb memory cards i think..

i have installed apps2sd app before the root and it's still in my phone after rooting and installing link2sd . so is this problem? ok i will try again and removed the apps2sd app and post you the storage info screen shot...
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] prabhat228:
I also use sandisk class4 8GB card. it will not create any problem. If it is troubling, just format the whole 8GB card and make one 1-2GB FAT32 partition.

guys, i want to know, if i factory reset my htc from recovery menu, then I will be getting a freshly flashed nextgen rom(without any user apps, contacts and alll), right ?

I know my user data will on sd card wont be affected. Only secondary partition gets affected, right ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] shortyoko:
Well this should happen, but chances of loop are high, as I still can't figure out what factory reset does, and no, it won't touch your fat partition, but there is a chance that it won't touch your ext also. Give it a try but just to be on the safe side keep a nextgen.zip on sd, just in case.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] akya22:
It depends on what recovery you are using but ideally factory reset should format everything but system and sdcard.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] mkln786:
yes I did whole format and also did partition delete but no luck. as you said before to set 1st partition as FAT will it work? because it's creates only 4gb partition , by doing this will my SD don't get damaged na? and did you created the 1st partition as FAT on 8gb memory card?

Still stuck with fastboot only

I am still stuck with fastboot only. As soon as I chose recovery in the fastboot menu, the HTC screen comes and then the phone reboots on and on. I tried to reflash all known recoveries: Philz, CWM and TWRM....all react the same.

I guess between fastboot menu and recovery, the phone tries to load the system which is corrupted. (I had only 20Mo when I started rooting my phone, and may be I forgot to put it on USB debugging)

I guess my only hope before throwing my pico away is to use "fastboot clear boot" than the same for recovery, system, userdata, splash and cache. and then reflash with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" than the same for recovery.img, system.img, userdata.img and splash.img.
