You might not have the correct zip for your variant of 610. They make a few and could depend on the carrier as well. Should also factory reset in TWRP.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
Still need help guys ! I believe I have the right one.

Could you check it out ? It looks legit.

**drive**.google.**com/folderview?id=0B6WBFlAKqe30ZG1wOGk2T0xwTkE&&tid=0B6WBFlAKqe30TjRLa2Qxa0toYlU

(I still can't post links on threads because I'm new...)

I tried Installing ROM from zip in TWRP (successful) and then fastboot flash boot boot.img but still didn't work !

My phone is still bricked.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Couldn't find that page, even after taking out the asteriks. But you'll need to boot to the bootloader and run this command:

fastboot getvar all

to find out your exact model/region/carrier/etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
I ran the command. See attachment. I don't know how to compare it to ROM.

Here is the link again :

**https**://**drive.**google.**com/folderview?id=0B6WBFlAKqe30eUh3WXB4eURwRjQ&&tid=0B6WBFlAKqe30TjRLa2Qxa0toYlU

If it still fails (wich truly shouldn't) I access it by searching "htc desire 601 stock ROM" on Google and it's the first one, the page is called "Firmware"

Thank you for your help !

Edit : I know why the link fails. It seems xda adds a space somewhere in the link. Need to remove it for the link to work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I'll look around for it later, but real quick, you probably want to take down the picture since it has your IMEI and Serial Number of the phone listed, for safety's sake.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
Ok I'll wait ! Thanks for the tip. If you need it for the info, I'll post it again without IMEI/Serial.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Ok, I think we might be on the right track now...

According to the read out from getvar, you were on 4.2.2. It's also listed as a Rogers phone (I'm assuming there's a direct connection between Fido and Rogers, though being an American, I'm not 100% up to date with Canadian carriers...) so I found the RUU for 4.2.2 (system 1.10.631.8 which you can see in the getvar list) http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P510 (it won't let me do a direct link for some reason) and pick the Rogers one for 1.10.631.8

This should get you back up and running.

Make sure to relock the bootloader before you run it or it'll fail. You can re-unlock afterwards. Should be able to do "fastboot oem lock" then when ready to unlock again then "fastboot oem unlock" should work since you've already used the bootloader key.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
Your a life saver thanks !

I'll make sure to relock.

The only thing is I have no clue how to use this RUU. It's not like a ".exe" that you execute.

The .zip file contains a .tar.gz file, wich contains another .tar file, wich contains binaries I believe.

The readme.txt file talks about using Linux commands but I'm far from an expert.

I'll do a little research on my own since you helped me a lot already, but if you have any tips feel free to share !

Thanks again,

black-venomz
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
BTW for information purposes,

Fido is indeed a subsidiary brand of Rogers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Ah shoot, I didn't realize it at the time, but that's like the source code, as in, if you wanted to compile a rom for your phone. That actually isn't what we need. :/ I'll have to keep looking...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
****e. How do people build RUU.exe in the first place ? Can't we build one with these binary files ?

Edit : Did some reading and found out only vendors can make RUU's.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
Tried this, found on another thread.

"The RUU is your normal, executable program and does everything for you. The ZIP is an RUU but you have to set the phone up to flash it by using fastboot commands. the process is:

1. Connect phone in fastboot mode

2. Run the command 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'

3. Once the phone is at the HTC screen, you run the command 'fastboot flash zip name_of_zip.zip'

4. It will flash the first part and then give an error and you run the same command as above a second time straight away

5. Once the second flash sequence has finished, you the type 'fastboot reboot' and it will reboot the phone and finish the installation"

It failed, but I didn't relock bootloader yet. Will try that now.

Edit : Also failed with relocked bootloader.

Fastboot error message was :

"(bootloader) signature checking

FAILED (remote : 12 signature verify fail)"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You can flash RUUs like that, but that zip does not house the files you would need. RUUs have to be signed with HTC's special key or it won't work. That's why it was only a 99MB file...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
Thanks for looking around. Unfortunately the RUU failed (see picture).

I think my phone was updated with Android 4.4.2 when I bought it (recently) so it might be what's causing the error.

I wanted to try with a Telus RUU for 4.4.2 but it's not there..........

I'm starting to lose hope here.

Hey esotericchaos !

Have you given up on me yet ?

I tried a couple of other stuff, but still haven't made it ;(

This is awful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You're certain that you were on KK? Because the system version listed in the getvar all output says JB...?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black-venomz:
Okay I finally made it !

I'll post my solution, but before I'd like to thank [MENTION=5839515]Child's Play[/MENTION], [MENTION=2557137]es0tericcha0s[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4402223]mrplowdan[/MENTION] for their help.

If your phone is an HTC Desire 601 Zara UL JellyBean 4.2.2 with S-ON and it is bricked (with access to bootloader) you can make it out.

What you need :

1. TWRP 2.7.0.0 (doesn't matter if it's zaracl version) : https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/zaracl/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-zaracl.img/

2. Stock ROM (this one worked for me) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6WBFlAKqe30X3RCOXFPZ3JNV2s/edit?pli=1

***If you get the ROM from another source make sure it is the right one for your device***

3. Stock BOOT : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6WBFlAKqe30WEd3TzQta1J0SjA/edit?pli=1

4. Fastboot and Minimal ADB : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

5. HTC Desire drivers : http://singledrivers.blogspot.ca/2014/01/htc-desire-601-usb-driver-for-windows.html

6. You definitely need an SD card with at least 700-800MB

7. Most important item : Your brain mate your brain.

Instructions :

1. Download all required files.

2. Install device drivers.

3. Install ADB/Fastboot. Open a CMD window in the folder where you installed ADB/Fastboot (press CTRL and RIGHT CLICK simultaneaously in the folder and select Open Command Window Here)

4. Copy stock BOOT file (boot_stock.img) and TWRP recovery file (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-zaracl.img) into the folder where you installed ADB/Fastboot (i.e C:/Android)

5. Copy stock ROM file (HTC_Desire_601_Zara_stock_odex__1.10.41.8_root_updated_v.1.0.1.zip) on your SD card, and put the SD card into your phone.

4. Boot you phone into bootloader (Remove battery, put it back, press Volume Down (1st) and Power button at the same time holding them, until you get to the menu)

5. Go into Fastboot (press the power button once to select FASTBOOT) and plug your phone into the computer

(Make sure it says "FASTBOOT USB")

4. Flash TWRP recovery using this command in CMD window opened earlier : fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-zaracl.img

5. Flash stock BOOT using this command in CMD windows : fastboot flash boot boot_stock.img

6. If all went well, use Power button and click BOOTLOADER. This will get you back to the first menu of the bootloader.

Now with the Volume Down button, press once; that will select the "RECOVERY" option. Press power button. The phone will boot into TWRP recovery.

7. When you get there, select Install in the menu, click on Storage (top of the screen), select External Storage, click OK.

8. Navigate your SD card and find the stock ROM you copied on it (HTC_Desire_601_Zara_stock_odex__1.10.41.8_root_updated_v.1.0.1.zip)

9. Click on the file, swipe to install. When finished, select Reboot.

10. Phone is saved. Thank Jesus or Satan. Hit the thank button if it helped you !

The the usual fastboot usb and menu stuff... can anyone tell me what I've done wrong? The phone is a Virgin Mobile Canada model and was originally JB but updated to KK (friken yay). It's currently stuck in a continuous reboot loop but I can access bootloader. I would prefer to go back to JB but at this point I'll take KK. Again any help is appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sythe777:
Don't mean to necro this thread, but having some issues with the final instruction. After installing the zip, it states that it was unable to mount /system and /cache. And when I reboot, my phone keeps returning to the fastboot menu. It also states that there is a missing OS, but the HBOOT menu shows an OS version; a bit confused about that. If anyone knows anything that can help, it would be great if you could give me a hand.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillieidiot:
Hi :)

I'm planning to get the Z3C soon and have a few questions that I'm hoping some users with the device using tmobile could help me out with.

1. Does the SMH (wifi tethering) work on the phone? My current phone doesn't support it for some reason, and they say it's because my phone is unlocked and not from tmobile. It has the option, but just never starts.

2. How is the LTE speed? Faster/slower than what you had before? Or about the same.

3. How is the reception on the phone? I read about how the phone is displaying less bars even though the signal strength is good so I'm not worried about that.

4. Does wifi-calling work? I assuming not cause it's not from Tmobile, but I thought I would ask anyways since no one addressed it yet.

That's all I could think of that isn't already answered in one of the other threads.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bialynia:
Yes

I'm getting 30mb/s in Chicago.

I am in a poor reception area and have had good connectivity.

Not AFAIK, if you find out how to get it to work please let me know!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NRG1975:
It works.

Getting pretty decent sppeds. The icon shows as 4G, but it is LTE speeds.

Reception is pretty darn good.

No, WiFi calling will not work on any non T-Mobile branded phones. The WiFi Calling aspect is baked into t-mobiles ROMs. Non one has been able to get this to work, on any phone that is not T-Mobile branded, AFAIK. However, Hangouts and SIP calling works quite well.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadmd23:
Since the Z3 (non-compact) appears to be headed to TMO, will that ROM be able to be loaded onto the Z3 Compact to enable Wi-Fi calling? (I am assuming that the Z3 will be able to use Wi-Fi calling, since I think all smart phones sold by TMO now support it)

Still keeping my fingers crossed that the C is available from TMO also!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NRG1975:
Possible ... but, I have no idea. It seems plausible ... but there are differences between the Z3 and Z3C that may not make it possible. Keep your fingers crossed, as I would like that as well.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Which recovery are you wanting to install, if you downloaded a zip files you need to extract the .tar or .md5 file inside it

You have the Odin steps correct once connected and you have com 3 showing click the PDA button find the .tar or .md5 recovery file then click start a few moments later you phone will reboot and you have custom recovery.

I sent it to a recovery shop, he told me how I got it there, but he can't find an image to use to fix it. He'd like anyone with a rooted i915 to run the following :

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Earthbrain:
Yesterday (September 30, 2014) was the last day that you can trade in your old iphone for a good price at most popular carriers. I took my wife's old iphone 4s and got $202 trade in value to go toward the purchase of the Note 4. If I had to do a trade in today (October 1), I would have received about $30-$90 for the old iphone 4s. The old iphone 4s is almost useless now since the battery is so bad. It goes from 100% battery status in the morning to 25% in the evening without even turning on the phone.

Now I will just wait for the Gear VR to be available for purchase.

No, you have until the 16th at 11:59PM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] JimSmith94:
You bring up an interesting point that I hadn't considered, and don't see explained very well on the Samsung Trade-In site: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/

It says that you have to pre-order the Note 4 by 11:59 PM on 10/16, but I don't see a deadline for when the trade-in has to be done. In my case, I am switching from Sprint so I can't trade in a phone until I receive my Note 4 and get my number ported over. (You have to provide your T-Mobile number to track the rebate.) It does say that the pre-order and trade-in receipts have to be submitted by 11/30 at 11:59 PM, so maybe that is also the deadline for trading in a phone.

Does anyone know for sure?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Bubbled:
the only reason the 10/16 deadline is in effect is because its released after that and is not considered a pre-order. you can submit your trade in receipt any time after 10/10 on that website, until 11/30, as long as your phone purchase order is dated no later than 10/16. you should be able to trade in anytime, most people aren't trading in until they have a new phone...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Amd4life:
just so I am clear, and please forgive me if this has been rehashed a 100 times, but I have a old iphone3, as long as it powers on, I am good for the "difference" up to $200 right?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] JimSmith94:
Trade in phones have to be worth at least $10, but Best Buy "might" take it anyway. That's still up in the air.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Earthbrain:
The deadline for the trade in was on 9/30/2014. You missed the deadline. Also the trade in was for the iphone 4 or 4s for $200 and you get more than $200 if it is an iphone 5 or 5s. I do not know if they would trafe in the iphone 3 or 3s.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jasonleb1:
I'm pretty sure he's referring to the Samsung $200 promotion.

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Beershake:
Hello XDA

I'm releasing recoverys since I'm not able to port Cyanogenmod on our phone even if we have all opensource released by LG,

just for the lack of the knowledge, I'm pretty begginer. Hopefully some kind people see this and feel sad about our orphan child L5II and port us CM :D

This is the second recovery I release for our devices, this seems to be the best in my opinion.

I take no credits for this as I only built it for our device.

So yeah the beautyful PhilZ Touch Recovery is now avaible for our L5IIs.

This is the PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.57.9 Andvanced Edition with CWM v6.0.5.1

We're going to use the same way as for previous recoverys to flash it.

PRE-REQUISITES

1. Root Permissions on your LG L5II

2. Unlocked bootlader

3. Terminal Emulator (can be downloaded from Play Store)

NOTE: I tested this only on E460, I hope this works also on other L5IIs but I'm not sure.

I DO NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSABILITY FOR BRICKED DEVICES OR ANY OTHER DAMAGE

DURING THIS PROCEDURE, DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK.

DOWNLOAD:

(If someone wants to provide any mirror will be appreciated)

http://uppit.com/pbjhcmfju47z/recovery.rar

1. Extract the downloaded file.

MD5 sum:

[COLOR="red"]BD8BDDD56E50100795F437E7449A20F5[/COLOR]

2.Then place it in your SDcard and open your terminal emulator

and type the following text:

su
dd if=/mnt/sdcard2/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery

3. When you have successfuly executed the previous commands in terminal emulator reboot in recovery mode to test it

Type this in terminal emulator

su
reboot recovery

Or switch off your phone and hold VOLUME DOWN + QUICKBUTTON + POWER BUTTON until LG logo shows and then release, it will boot into recovery mode in few seconds.

I really hope it worked for you and you can now enjoy your beautyful recovery.

Let me know about bugs and on which models it works!

Thank you for your attention!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

-As this is based on stock recovery source it seems that LG left us a bug. It won't mount\format sdcard0(internal sdcard). So I've found out that this isn't the fault of revovery in itself but recovery.img containing a bug left by manufactor. So my objective now is to solve it, I can't actually say when it will get fixed, I don't have much time to work on it because of my real life issues.
