[Q&A][UPG]Syrius R0 stuck at 17% solved

Problem
When installing the Syrius R0 ROM, the flash process got stuck at 17%.
Then the device gave me a ERROR 262 communication error and said there is need of a recovery process. After recovery, it's impossible to flash any ROM, it will stay at 0%, because of a RUUNBH error.
Solution
1°
First, you need to get the RUUNBH error solved. A simple method to do this is downloading this file and running the Romupdateutility.exe file in the RUU folder.
This will give an error, but don't worry. After doing so, you can boot your device.
2°
Then, if you want to install the Syrius R0 ROM, do what is mentioned under the 'How to install HARD-SPL!' section in this link.
Then:
STEP MANUALLY to bootloader. (Press and hold camera button and press reset)
You will see a tricolor screen on you PDA, and you have to see SPL-2.20.Olinex string. IF YOU NOT SEE THIS DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ROM!!!
Then execute the exe file that was in the Syrius R0 ROM that you downloaded and the process will surpass the 17% and the ROM will be fully installed.

I have inherited the Title "Noonski The Merciless"
Please Post to a thread already open with your issue,
For instance the rom thread you downloaded from or maybe the HARDSPL thread.
And in your case with a solution, this would belong in the WIKI.
Cheerz,

was trying to do a maint upgrade w/oem rom,errored out now will not come

upgrading to new radio without fastboot?

my phone is an htc magic 32A, i am currently on old radio and spl and amon_ra recovery for sapphire.
my usb connection has been dead for a while now, but i can still charge my phone. i use terminal for most things and root explorer so no need for adb or fastboot as much. but anyways, is there a way to flash the new radio (6.35), spl, and recovery without fastboot?
what i know:
1. i can flash new radio & spl through update.zip files through recovery, i've done it before with old radio and spl many times fine.
2. i can flash new recovery using terminal with phone on, this is fine i do many times too.
however, this is the problem, correct me if i'm wrong, you have to flash all 3 at same time right? in recovery mode, i can only flash radio and spl no recovery, but in terminal i can only flash recovery, not the other two.
is there a way around this that i dont know about? is fastbooting the only way?
I tried flashing the new recovery first and then booting into it to flash radio and spl but that dont work hehe. i dont think i can flash new radio and spl first using the current recovery image since cursor said in his thread if you flash radio and spl, the phone will keep rebooting because of the wrong recovery. since i cannot fastboot, this will pretty much kill my phone since i wont be able to boot it up to flash proper recovery image.
-------------------EDIT
cursordroid is helping me with this problem. for those interested check out his how-to guide in the dev section as that's where he posted a reply to me. hopefully his solution works, will see tomorrow.

Hi,
I've read a bit and i would like to share my understanding with you. Correct me if i'm wrong:
- The SPL is the boot code that allow the usage of fastboot commands and is there to actually boot the rom stored on the phone. As long as you have a correct SPL, you should be able to push a recovery-RA image trough USB into memory and boot with this code.
- The recovery image on the phone is a specific partition that is trigerred when you use the volume down and poweron button. I've got the impression that the vol-down and poweron instructs the spl to use the recovery partition. I'm not sure of this
If you are able to flash the recovery image (the Hero one) via terminal then from the pc using the command : fastboot boot recovery-RA-saphire-v1.5.2h, you shoudl normally get access to sdcard and flash the update_radio.zip then update_spl.zip.
I'm not sure of one thing: Does updating radio and updating spl should happen at the same time ? Can we do this by flash first the radio, reboot, fastboot boot then flash the spl ? As there is a reboot in between, wHat happens if the radio is newer than the spl ? Do we still have access to the fastoot mode ?
About your statement: "if you flash radio and spl, the phone will keep rebooting because of the wrong recovery." --> Where have you seen this ?
Cedric

Thanks but I Know about fastbooting and do it often but The problem is I cannot use usb fastboot anymore. Theres something wrong with my devices usb port. Please read the thread title and my post once more. If i can use my usb then fast boot is easy, I wouldn't have made this thread haha.
About the last statement it can be found in cursordroids thread about upgrading the radio.

Pre-Rooted HTC, flashed new custom recovery. Cannot boot into.

Hi Guys,
A while ago I used the flashrec app to flash a custom recovery on my unlocked hero which worked well. I'd been using this for ages to flash custom rooted roms etc onto my device.
Today I decided to update the recovery rom to recovery-ra-hero-v1.6.2.img by terminal emulator. (su, flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-hero-v1.6.2.img). This didn't work! When I try and enter recovery mode (hold down HOME whilst booting), it freezes.
I can still get into my rooted rom, and it still appears via adb, but I cannot flash any custom recoveries! When I try to flash via adb I get the wonderful 'downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)' error.
Any idea how I can flash the recovery?
Cheers,
Matt

Have you tried using Flashrec again?

5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec - FlashRec.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 - Amon_Ra’s Hero Recovery Image
6. Copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
7. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
8. Go to the Market and download ASTRO File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
9. Open the file manager and find the FlashRec apk file and click it and choose open app manager and then install it.
10. When it is installed click Open. Click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish. If you get "backup failed" response see the text on the right for more details, if the backup is a success carry on to step 11.
a. Installing the correct HTC ROM
Orange UK Users - Please downgrade your ROM version to 2.73.61.5
Generic Hero Users - Please downgrade to 2.73.405.5, or follow the goldcard method if this doesn't work
T-Mobile UK Users – Please follow the "Goldcard" method below
All Other Users - Please follow the "Goldcard" method below​
11. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
(replace exact name as new versions come out)
Then click on the Flash Recovery Image button and wait for it to finish.

I have yes, forgot to say in OP - sorry! It gives the generic 'flashing failed' message.
I think I've narrowed it down to my running hboot 1.76.0007. Am I right in thinking this version doesn't allow non-htc images to be booted?

I wouldn't know about the hboot stuff sorry...
... But I did once read that an older version of Flashrec worked where the latest did not,... worth a try?
http://code.google.com/p/flashrec/downloads/detail?name=flashrec-1.1.2-20090909.apk

Same error - backup failed: could not run command.
I have a android backup which should include the previous recovery image. Is there any way of restoring that from a terminal in the rom or via adb?

I don't think a Nandroid backup covers the recovery... and I wouldn't know about restoring it through adb.
Only other things I can think of are,...
1... Find out how to update recovery through fastboot? ( I once looked into this but dint get v-far)
2... Run a HTC RUU .exe and start from scratch.
I'd go option 2 for ease, 1 if you want to educate yourself.

I think I've already tried number 1 - "fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-hero-v1.6.2.img" and got an error: "remote does not allow".
Looks like I'm going to have to go down the RUU route. Hopefully I'll be able to restore a recent nandroid backup once it's complete!
Thanks for your help!

Hi, i can't update... it stays on 0% and then it shows me Error 260 which is Comm Error... but the usb is fine, and i tried in the 3 usb ports of my pc... so, what could it be?? thanks.
 ERROR [260] : CONNECTION
This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.
Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.
EDIT: Now it shows error 262...
 ERROR [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
i upgraded it to 7392... does it have to do something with it??

Hi,
Do you start from tricolor screen in bootloader?
Regards, ansar

Thank you for this rom, great work!
For anyone wondering, if you have the HD7 S with AT&T, flash this rom, chevron unlock your phone, apply registry hack to keep phone unlocked, then update through zune to get back to NoDo
