No Joy yet.

The boot.img worked in a few seconds. The System.img started and after 5 seconds goes to the boot up screen an sits there.

The only thing I could think of now would be if, as you suggested have some one with this same system to make a backup via TWRP onto a sd card and see if it would restore from that.
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] thatone:
What partitions are you trying to install the system.img?
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AGummyBear:
In as much as I don't understand the question I have no idea.

I really don't know much about this I was just good at following instructions to root it.

And all was working well until that update screwed it all up.
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] thatone:
Ok, so an update screwed your phone up. The file system is still in tact. They just locked you out of it. So, you need to wipe the entire phone clean and put the boot.img in the boot partition, and put the sys.img in the system parition. Once you've done that, it'll begin to operate properly once more. You mistake was installing the update. The update was to lock you out of the phone.
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AGummyBear:
Yes my mistake was installing the update but I got tired at it nagging me to install the update. My wife has the same phone only her's is not rooted and the update went fine. As for the partition I now understand what you say and had been doing all that already. The boot.img goes fine. it's the System.img that starts to flash but the phone tries to restart after about 7 or 8 seconds and that stops the flash.
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AGummyBear:
I am about to just give up and use it as a .308 target.

Now TWRP doesn't load and in download mode it shows

file/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/2PSTIMG.zip

file missing.

screw it.
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] thatone:
That's a whole lot of jacked up. Though, were you using the Metropcs image or the unlocked image? I'm thinking it messed things up when you tried the unlocked image, and not using the Metropcs image. As that is probably the issue, since you originally bought the phone from metropcs. I'll look around and see if I can't find a way to recover the device.

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

is there a way you can reflash twrp in command prompt? if so, you may be able to save the device. you can check to see if you definitely lost twrp by connecting the phone to the computer and in cmd typing the following adb reboot recovery (not certain if this is the proper command for windows, as I use linux. In linux I use sudo adb reboot recovery).
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AGummyBear:
wOOt, wOOt,, I'm a happy Gummy now

You ain't gonna believe this. I went here (http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-desire-530-metro-pcs/news/) and downloaded the update that screwed it all up in the first place. It didn't work. I had started it from bootloader mode. It gave the usual error for low battery. I changed to downloader mode and that to failed, this time with an unknown error. however this time it had a tab to click to enter into recovery mode. That also failed. I just kept starting all over and after 6 or 8 times it didn't stop it loaded the RUU. The phone is up and running . It of course has all the bloatware but it seems to still be rooted. The only reason that I kept trying it so many times was that someone on this forum said that they had to re-try something 4 or 5 times and sure enough it worked.
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] thatone:
Lol. I'm happy to hear it. But whether or not you unlocked your phone, keep in mind you will want to stick with the original service providers rom, and ALWAYS make a back up of your original rom, even the bloatware.. In case things like this happen. Anyway, congrats on getting your device operational again.

Btw, how did you find that update, anyway?

Would you be willing to make a zip file for that update? Lol
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AGummyBear:
I had bookmarked the unlocked/del ROM and when I clicked it this one opened.

I don't know about a zip for it, just clock the link I posted. At the bottom is the download button.

I really gotta tell all you guys Thanks.

I was ready to use it for target practice.
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] thatone:
Yeah it's an executable windows file, I can't open it with linux. x-x
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] AGummyBear:
I understand but, extracting the parts you need is way over my head. I'm sorry.
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ckiesel385:
Yes you can is it a .exe.or msi

Edit : should have read a little bit...stupid me I can extract the Rom from the RUU
[HTC Desire 530 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] thatone:
How did you extract it? I've tried using Crossover, and Wine to install the executable. and when I attempt to extract it, I keep getting an error saying it's not a supported archive type. Though, I am using the archive manager.

Let's just be honest here: the developer left the project after he got tired of people bugging him about releasing and compiling the rom and kernel. If you have this phone just throw it away since it doesnt function with stock rom.

Your statement doesn't make sense, your boot loader is unlocked /: just flash the system images through TWRP or push them with ADB then after that flash the latest Magisk, literally should take you less than 10 mins.

When I used a blackberry, it had an "auto-turnoff" function that would turn off the device from say 2am to 7am.

Is there a way to do this for windows mobile? CT scheduler looks promising but is for smartphones only.

Are there slick ways to already do this?

I know about setting an appointment and using an automatic profile, but I would prefer something less... dependent on my remembering to set my profile before I got to bed.

[HTC U Ultra Accessories] richydraper:
hi all,

1st post so be kind ;)

I'm looking for a decent shockproof case for my new U Ultra, previously had SamsungS4 and S6Edge and had 'Love Mei' cases on both. Construction is a rubber tray around the handset with a bolt together 2piece front and rear aluminium frame. Never lost a handset through crash damage with cases from them but i am REALLY struggling to find one similar for the U Ultra.

i have contacted

Otterbox:- No plans to make case

Roocase:- No Plans

i-blason:- No Plans

Love Mei:- Awaiting reply

My Brother has a SPIGEN Neo Hybrid for his One M9 but i'm dubious if it offers the protection i want/need, and in any case they dont list anything yet for the U Ultra.

any help/links appreciated

thanks

[HTC U Ultra Accessories] StilsonCanyon:
Looks sharp. I have the sapphire blue model and I've been using the clear case that came with it. I have also ordered an LK clear case that will have a bit more coverage for the exposed bits by the HTC case.

Question: what screen overlay are you using? Considering one and want something thin and hopefully silky smooth, with a good oleophobic coating. Thanks!
[HTC U Ultra Accessories] Dogmann:
Hi all,

I have the same Spigen case as Marusaia and think its a great case as it doesn't add too much bulk IMO and looks great and does whats needed also as an added extra it negates the camera bump when laying it flat on any surface so you can use the phone with out it being unstable.

[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] SayantanRC:
Hello everybody.

We all know that Moto Display is very useful and shows incoming notification. In Moto G and E devices, it activates when the phone is moved from its position, or when a flip cover over the phone is opened. However I have heard that in Moto X devices, it activates even if you wave over the proximity sensor.

So I thought of making a small app that does the same. It is on Play Store.

MotoDisplay handwave

This might be helpful to some people like me. Do hit the Thanks button if it helped you. Also rate the app a five star ??

TO BE USED ONLY ON STOCK FIRMWARE. NO CUSTOM ROMS SUPPORTED
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] vlahan:
This is a great app, I was missing a lot this feature when moving from Moto X!

Please consider using the Android ActivityRecognitionAPI to trigger the moto display only if the phone is in the "STILL" state. Otherwise the battery will be drained pretty fast when carrying the phone in the pocket, etc.

--Vlado
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] SayantanRC:
Thanks for the suggestion, will obviously look into it.

Regarding battery drain, the proximity sensor is always on even if this app is not used (Moto Display activates if you keep the proximity covered for some time and then remove the cover).

Also the app has been designed so that it won't activate MD if the phone is in pocket.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] vlahan:
Thanks for the clarification, I was not aware that the proximity sensor is always on. You are right, the Moto Display turns on when the phone is taken out of a pocket, etc. Now I just wonder why Motorola decided not to offer this as part of the stock application. To protect Moto X sales?

--Vlado
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] SayantanRC:

[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] timofcourse:
Might be a stupid question, but does it still work if you are rooted?
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] SayantanRC:
Not a stupid question. I did mention that the ROM needs to be stock ROM. So this confusion might arise.

This app has nothing to do with root directly. It doesn't check for safety net. It will work whether you are rooted or not.

There is however an exception. If you use any root based utility to uninstall Moto Display apk from system, this app will no longer work.
