Guys i've flashed SFM 3.0 hero, good rom but the wifi doesn't works so i want come back to stock. the big problem is that's my sister's phone and this rom has deleted the recovery and now i don't manage to reinstall it. it says flash_image not found. i even tried with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253 at the step missing flash image, but every thing i do it get reveals useless. here's a screenshot of prompt adb: http://imageshack.us/f/338/immaginevi.png/
Guys please help me, it's important!
more details:
i've started with the stock 2.1 and rooted with universal androot and flashed SFM 3.0 with AmonRA recovery.
now if i try open the recovery it's stuck on the bootlogo. i tried with fastboot, adb, the official RUU but it says that my phone's firmware is wrong.
update: now doesn't stuck on the boot logo, but it boots normally without a recovery.
it's rooted on the SFM 3.0 rom and give the "flash_image not found" error
first things first. i have no idea how to get back to stock using the official RUU
however i do have a few alternatives you could try just in case you don't find the answer your looking for
now you say you flashed sfm 3.0. a similar rom to this would be Wildheroc ROSE V5. its exactly the same as sfm 3.0 but its more stable. it can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316886 also you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24343144&postcount=500 which is a themed version of ROSE V5 created by slobo2712.
if your looking for a stock rom then i highly recomend Heroine ++ which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295991 this rom is seriously fast. its basically the same as stock with a few minor adjustments here and there
there are other roms which remove sense from your phone that i could recommend but if your looking to keep sense on your phone then those two roms are the ones I'd highly recommend
i know this doesn't exactly answer your question of how to flash the official RUU from HTC but as i said previously in the post i simply don't know. these are just a few options you could try if you don't find your answer.
if i can't access the recovery how can flash another rom??

Ahhh ok must have missed that bit
Can you still use the phone normally???? If so maybe try installing Rom manager from the market and then flashing the recovery from there
Could be worth a try

i managed it with an official RUU, don't remember wich. now i've another problem. from 2.1 stock i've flashed Elelinux gingerbread ROM, but 3D games like dead runner wich worked on stock rom on this one don't work. maybe the kernel? i still have the stock one.

Do you DEFINITELY still have the stock kernal? The reason I ask is because Elelinux roms usually come with flykernal13.
Sometimes re flashing a rom can solve issues. So I'd say go into your recovery and wipe data 2 or 3 times just to make sure because 1 wipe sometimes doesn't get rid of everything. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache and then re flash the rom
If that doesn't work then you could try flashing the Las Venturas kernal but I'd doubt it would be a kernal problem
You're wright it isn't a kernel problem but i did all kind Of wipes but 3D games and applications don't work

Hmmm if they worked on stock then I'd expect a newer version of Android to be ok as well . I'm not a big gamer on my phone so can't say I've ever experienced these problems
What games and applications don't work? And do they not work completely? Or just not as good as on stock?

I've never touched the bootloader so I'm afraid I can't really answer that question
As for best Rom. There isn't really an overall best rom. It all just comes down to personal preference and what your looking for in a Rom but there are roms that are a step ahead in each android version.
If stock 2.1 is what your looking for then you can't beat heroine ++ if you want sense or you could try VE 6.2 if you want AOSP
As for 2.2 froyo you could try FloYo. I used it once and it seemed ok
And as for 2.3 gingerbread. If your after a 2.3 sense Rom then wildheroc is by far the best one around at the moment. As for 2.3 AOSP roms I'd highly recommend decked_x or any of the elelinux roms or even the two latest cyanogenmod nightlies

Hi.
I cant seem to get my girlfriends wildfire to accept a overclocked kernel after i used Alpha´s new s-off tool, and rooted it. No matter what kernel i use, it never starts up, it hangs very long time at the screen, HTC makes it quietly (or something) and then i restarts?
Any suggestions?
And no, she dosent want CM, she wants sense :-(
Cheers and thx for helping.

then only one solution I belive ,reflash rom...then be easy on oc,step by step and nex time skip to sheck "set on boot option,then if it freezes it will boot stock @528 and you wil know what is max Mhz you can set, good luck
There's another problem with your idea...
Whenever he flashes a OC Kernel he's bootlooping.
he should post what rom is he trying to oc then we will be smarter I belive,like this its just guesing... right
Edit:when he reflash rom he will be able to BOOT right?
Guessing from the fact he mentioned HTC Sense, I'm presuming he's using stock.
And yes, it should since ROMs install a new Kernel.
should use custom sense based rom, not the stock
There's only one person that can tell us that *cough*
just trying to help,since he cant get oc on stock rom with any oc kernel...custom rom is logic idea i belive
That's true.
And if his GF is not so technologically interested she wouldn't notice the difference between stock or WildPuzzle ;D
Have you tried HCDR.kernel v4.2. It can be flashed on any wildfire rom.
Personally tried it on stock 2.2.1 (after alpharevx s-off) without any issues.
Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
You further need an overclocking app like set cpu. If facing any issues, format the phone and make a clean install. Still facing issues, go with a sense custom Rom which already has inbuilt oc kernel.

Hi guys, sorry for not answering, but i live in Denmark and its now 10 o´clock in the morning, i posted just before midnight.
She is using stock rom 2.2, and i have tryed the wildpuzzle and i didnt think it was smooth, it gave her errors, and then she complained :-(
I have tryed theese kernels:
oc-kernel-2.6.32
oc-kernel-2.6.32 v2
Hcdr.kernel_4.2b_flashable
Could there be a recovery version issue, using 2.5.0.7, just wild gues?
Thx for helping me out.
Brian
Well you can only flash Kernels with 2.5
Have you tried other Sense based roms?
(DK custom or JokerDroid (has a different theme then stock))
Hi.
Yes i have tryed those, but she is not like me, she wants a phone that is working 100%, me i dont care, i work on my legend all the time.
So the fact that she wants a phone that is working 100% made me stay on stock and try to renew the kernel, but isnt working the way i want it to.
Maybe i shold try a clean install og stock, and then the kernel
Tryed again, fresh stock rom, still no good.
Jokerdroid 4.2 worked, lets se her reaction
Thx for helping.

Hi, I'm fairly new to the whole rooting Android and custom roms but I've got the basics down. I'm just wanting to know some good custom roms that are pretty much stock roms but with extras in the menus and everything like CM7, also any good rooting apps, etc.

Lot of people from florida for some reason. I can suggest a CM7 or if you want, a sense 3.0 rom. You really just have to go through the roms yourself and find one that you like personally.
I'm currently using CM 7.1 but have tried OMGB, MiKG, Fresh, and most of them I've just reverted back to the stock because certain main features don't work well etc. I've also tried a few not listed on Rom Manager by Clockwork Mod but half of them don't install properly or just work great on the EVO.
A tidbit of advice: Get rid of rom manager, if you want I can link you to my thread where I have a script to flash Amon_ra for you and everything. Rom manager and CWM are terrible on the Evo. So if you want that let me know.
Anyway, there will be bugs and you might just like AOSP in which case, stick with CM7 (I use 7.0.3.1 just because of the battery drain issues I heard about from CM7.1
Alright, let me get that link and I'll check it out.
link is here
ROM Manager and CWM work just fine on my EVO. I've never had a problem with a ROM or backup or anything with either of them. I don't use ROM Manager to flash new ROMs, but I do use it to download MIUI updates. Don't necessarily take one person's opinion as a definite. Don't use ROM Manager to install ROMs though, that will most likely give you problems. Do it the old-fashioned way.

Yes, but only after 1.8.19, which I just upgraded to...I was sticking with 1.8.5 for a while b/c it was very stable on my phone. But yes, you can upgrade now without using ROM Manager.

Utopia was my favorite until the RC3 version came out. I had a lot of trouble trying to make Link2SD work (I experimented with different versions of Busybox and finally I got it to recognize the second partition) but today I had another problem with WiFi, which suddenly stopped seeing my WPA2 home network. I had to go back to my previous version, where everything works...
I'm really intrigued about Utopia. I've read that it's fast yet it doesn't eat up battery like other roms. I'm just wondering how do I upgrade to that. I currently have stock eclair and somewhat of a noob when it comes to rom upgrading. Thanks

You could flash a Fastboot ROM vis KDZ. It could be one of the many ways.
hi Louis here! umm alright down to business so i just got a notification on my MYT4G [ gingerbread OTA ] now i am officially rooted [ S-off ] custom splash screen, deleted original installed apps [ tmob tv etc ] now for my questions if i update RIGHT NOW what will happen? and ive been searching the forum for two days and ive had no luck in finding the gingerbread STOCK rom now i still want to update as well as keeping my ROOT so if anyone can provide guidance it'd be much appreciated thanks!
You can't update and keep root. You either stay rooted and run the rooted gingerbread rom or any other rom in dev section or update and lose root and s-off.

Well as of right now the most stable sense roms are coming from virtuous team. You can look into virtuous unity, virtious doubleshot. I'm running virtuous unity myself. Since you always ran stock you might like virtuous unity best.

Basically the main and most major thing, do a nandroid before flashing anything. But the actuall process is easy. Just download the rom, put it on your sd card and flash through recovery.
Might want to update clockwork also before if you haven't.

never done a nandroid back up before....i did update the clockwork rec mod tho with ROM MANAGER

I think you are looking for the Rooted version of Stock 2.3.4 Rom
If you are interested, you can download it here.
Flash it in your ClockworkMod Recovery after a full wipe.

Great. I dont know if you already figured out how to back up your rom. But before you do anything else to it, just get it where you can use your phone how you like it and boot into recovery. Once in recovery, scroll down with trackpad to backup and restore, click it and back up your current rom and let recovery do its thing.

Yea I noticed that THANKS ! TWO questions though does this ROM have swype text? And a screenshot come along with it?
This Rom do come with Swype support.
As far as interface is concerned, the new update from T-mobile haven't changed the interface much.
So you will notice only a slight change in the 2.3.4 update.
Go to this YouTube link and have a look.

This is due to the file structure being different between different roms. Grab Titainium back up from the market and make sure you have your contacts linked to google and you will be fine

Well Sense 3.5 is way better than Sense 2.1, but Sense based ROMs are generally a little slower (owing to all the animations and effects).
I am using this. It is a custom CM7.2 based ROM (I am using this with lordmodUEv9.5-ICS-BFS kernel). Its quite fast and very much responsive.

Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
Before you flash, make sure you read the instructions. I jave the bad tendency of not reading first, which has led to a lot of trial and errors. I believe it was with cm7.2, when I flashed it it got stuck on the bootscreen. Later on I found out that you needed to flash cm7.1 and then cm7.2 for it to work. Some are full roms, others are just updates.
What to flash? That depends on what you like once you start flashing. Do try to stay with the same rom for a few days. That is, nevermind.... you'll find your own way.
Last thing, titanium backup is a 50-50 thing from what i've read so far. By restoring apps using TB it could bring errors. Once again, thats a 50-50 and nothing by my own experience. I download everything all over again. Before your first flash, make a backup of your rom... I forgot to do that one
