more fresh rom confusion

ok so i unrooted my phone to stock then used kitchen to auto root it and all worked great. then I put the recovery 1.5.3 i think it was on my root of sd card, and also had fresh 1.1 on it as update.zip
but everytime I apply it i get errors, now EVERYTHING works but I dont have service and settings force close.
should I wipe then install 1.1. or just upgrade from stock wen its rooted?
or maybe try 1.0 first with clean install or wipe?
thanks

If I were you, do this. RUU the phone to put it back to complete stock settings. Then, run the Auto-rooter in the Pre-Kitchen. This will put it to the latest recovery image. Then, just flash Fresh 1.1 to it, and then you'll be up to date.

you flash the recovery image dif then as if you were flashing a rom

wait so put recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2 on the root of card and change name to update and apply that, then delete that off root of card, put on fresh 1.1 rom and name it update then flash that?
can I do a clean install? or just update?

1. Find the recovery image you want and MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR PHONE (should say in where you download it what phone it is for).
2. Write down the filename of the recovery image EXACTLY as it is written (i.e. RA-Hero-Recovery-v1.2.2.img).
3. Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders).
4. Download Terminal from the Market if you don’t already have it and install it (there are a few different terminals in the Market ,
5. Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
6. In the above text, replace name-of-recovery.img with the name of your recovery image (make sure the .img is on the end).
7. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.

on another note you should change the title of this thread to user confusion has nothing to do with fresh rom ....might be confusing to some

As opposed to posting it in the FreshROM thread, had it really been a FreshROM issue.

I know that you know that the auto rooter does all of that for you.
No renaming RA to update.zip or anything like that. RUU to get your phone back to stock. Then run the auto-rooter. This gives you a stock but rooted phone, with RA as your recovery image. You will then be able to install fresh rom. That's all!

didnt want to confuse him anymore then he already is

ok did RUU and the kitchen and did auto rooter. running 1.5.2.
Just downloaded fresh 1.1
going to put it into the root of sdcard and rename the fresh rom to, "update"
then power down phone, power back on and ok should I wipe phone then apply update zip
or
not wipe and just apply zip?
then once I apply just then choose reboot and basically thats

You don't need to wipe. RUU puts your phone back to bone stock.
You shouldn't need to rename FreshROM to update either.

ohh, ok that was my biggest problem i think, im used to my g1 and i always renamed the rom to update.zip
so keep it fresh-cdma-hero-1.1
and apply update

Total Solution for Flashing

Hi Forumers,
I'm newly join the Android group previously from WM & iOS4
I read through all the threads regarding on the flashing....
But can't get it into my brain..
Too many combination need to apply in-order to flash the rom.
I really need a clear instruction before proceed the rom flash.
Referring to 1 of the most popular rom LeeDrOiD HD v1.2
In my mind now:..
1. Download the LeeDrOiD HD v1.2 rom
2. Download 2.5.1.2 r1 ClockworkMod Recovery for Desire HD. (what's the use of this software and when to use it)
3. Download fastboot (This software is the combination of the ClockworkMod Recovery)
Should i include this 2 software into the flash stage?
What is the purpose of proceeding this 2 software or is just a recovery system software?
4. Drop the ROM zip on your SD
5. Boot into recovery (volume down + Power)
6. Run a NANDROID backup.....(Is this a backup software on the stock rom?)
7. A full wipe/factory reset is optional at this point.
8. Select "Install zip from sdcard"
9. Select "choose zip fom sdcard"
10. Select "LeeDrOiD_HD_VX.X.zip
11. Wait for flashing to complete
12. Reboot........

Hello. There is many steps the 1st time so it can be confusing.
Have you rooted your phone yet?
Clockwork mod is the software you need to be able to flash your roms. If you get rom manager from the market it can now install clockwork for you.
Fastboot allows you to gain access to your phone from the pc. It lets you run commands and push/pull packages to and from your phone.
The nandroid backup allows you to take an image of your phone so you can recover it if something goes wrong.
Your best bet is to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444 then install rom manager flash clockworkmod from there. Run the backup and then install your rom.

Hello jonkers71,
Just to find out with you....
Should i refer to this thread on the rooting?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
Download Unrevoked 3.21 and root it...

unrevoked doesen`t work with Desire HD

HEY! I finally see Another Malaysian in this thread. I'm so glad =)
As for flashing, i followed this:
How to flash?
1. Make a backup of your data like contacts, calendar events, sms, bookmarks, etc..
2. Download ROM and WIPING TOOL and put both to your SD card
3. Start your device in recovery mode
4. In recovery mode, go to "mounts and storage" and select: format boot, format system, format data (optionally), format cache.
At the end you can also select wipe data/factory reset (optionally) and wipe cache partition (just to make sure everything is wiped)
I also recommend doing "wipe battery stats" under "advanced" section.
5. Select "Install zip from sdcard"
6. Select "choose zip fom sdcard" & select FULL-WIPE-1.2.zip and when it's finished, do the same with ROM.

Yes the process is quite compoicated, by then you are about to strip HTC's security from your device
You really need to read one of the rooting threads from the beginning before you proceed, but in essence what you need to do is
Root with visionary
apply h-boot s-off ( possibly radio s-off)
install rom manager and throught this clockwork recovery
choose and download your chosen ROM
choose to install rom from within rom manager
make sure to select wipe and backup options when offered
enjoy
It is beyond a single post to go into the detail required so please read and understand the required threads for all the stages before proceeding, it will save a lit of heartbreak in the long run

it was clear for me, even if i had no real android experience
like you i came from iOS...
ok my girlfriend had an SGS since 4 months, but SGS flashing was with odin (at least the first flashs)
but for the desire hd you need to
1: turn the HBOOT to S-OFF (not necessary, but better)
2: change the superCID value (not necessary, but better)
3: root your phone with visionary+
4: install rommanager from market (so you can install clockworkmod easyly)
5: reboot into clockworkmod and install the rom zip

What part is complicated? I will see if I can help you out.
I think currently the thread I posted is the best way to do it but I think I have seen a one click solution on here as well.

Can't root after XTC Clip S-OFF

Hi, I was on hboot 1.01.0001 so I finally got S-OFFed today. I flashed Ruu 1.37 and now I am on hboot 0.80.0007 and S-OFF.
However, I can't root with Unrevoked (tried 3.21, 3.22 and 3.32 Windows and Ubuntu versions, where I could root the same ROM time ago).
I also can't flash a Clockworkmod recovery from the recovery I have now (stock one) for failed signature verification and I don't know what to do... Now i get Bakcup CID missing in Unrevoked too...
Please any help. It must be a little thing, but I don't know.
EDIT: I finally got it with a test version of Unrevoked. Posted in the 4th post of this thread.
Thanks

Same here. Got S-OFF and superuser is working now. Unrevoked says Can't root is you firmware to new.
Rom Manager says it installs Clockwork recovery but recovery is not working??

But are you still on hboot 1.01.0001? Because if Unrevoked says Can't root is you firmware to new that may be. Or have you flashed an older RUU?

Hey! If you are in hboot 0.80 (Flash 1.37 RUU), I finally found a test version of Unrevoked here that installed Clockworkmod recovery!!!

Option 1--> downlod the file, is the Unrevoked test version. Run it, it works!!
I hope if it useful to somebody.

Do you guys even know what's the purpose of having S-OFF?!
If you phone's NAND is unlocked, just get temp root and flash the recovery

Hey I am sorry! I did what I could. I tried Unrevoked and didn't work so I eventually got an Unrevoked version that did the trick.
Excuse me if I can't do another way without having the steps to follow.

I had the same problem first i set s-off, then flashed and older RUU, then unrevoked 3.14 and that worked for me......so good and easy and fast!

If you get the error-message concerning the cid in Unrevoked - just adb into the phone, run the __unrevoked__ script in /system and flash the clockwork-mod after that. From there you can install rooted images like you want ..

Rooting after S-OFF
Hi guys,
I`ll share here my experience.
There are mainly two different methods (with some variations) of obtaining ROOT after S-OFF (with XTC Clip).
1-st (and likely undesirable to me) is exactly: downgrading > Unrevoked > upgrading.
- And why so?
There have some disadvantages:
- downgrading is additional flashing of the device and is unnecessary at all (you`ll see later).
- need of connection to computer.
2-nd (very desirable metnod) is to install CWM Recovery right away S-OFF. Even this procedure is not a must, but makes your life easier. Then You can flash right from SD card whichever ROM you like.
- And what advantage gives this to me?
- Only 1 flash procedure, no need of downgrades. Flashing with already rooted ROM (any custom or rooted stock) gives you ROOT access with only 1 step.
- There is no Unrevoked procedure, thats mean no need of computer connection at all.
The most painless and secure algorithm is:
1. S-OFF (by XTC Clip)
2. Install ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery - Here you`ll find recovery .img and .zip for all supported models.
How to install CWM Recovery?
As example I`ll give Wildfire aka Buzz:
- You`ll need to upload PC49IMG.zip (last CWM 3.0.0.6) on top of your sdcard ( NOT in any folder).
- Boot the smart in bootloader (holding VOLUME DOWN then POWER). You will be asked to install the ZIP file (Yes is right answer). Recovery will then install automatic, DO NOT press any buttons before finishing of process.
3. Backup/Restore Your current ROM:
- Starting Recovery: in bootloader navigate (with VOLUM DOWN) to "recovery", then POWER to enter in CWM Recovery menu.
- Navigation: TRACKPAD or VOLUME button to navigate trough menus, to select them press TRACKPAD button. Use BACK touch button to back in menus.
- Backup: you`ll find "Backup" menu under "backup and restore" main menu - When pressing "Backup" then CWM will perform backup of current state of the device. If succeed you'll see "Backup complete" message.
- Restore: you`ll see this menu as "Restore" right under "Backup". The menu gives you a list of available backups to restore. There have to be at least 1 backup to perform restore operation.
4. Wipe ONLY cache/dalvik when performing next step (5.) (if you want to save all data and settings, else do data/factory reset also which is recommended before flashing any custom ROM):
- just "wipe cache partition" in main menu and under "advanced" perform "Wipe Dalvik Cache".
- "wipe data/factory reset" - perform this action, ONLY if want to flash custom ROMs. This action will RESET smart to its factory settings (you`ll lose all data and settings except those saved on sdcard).
5.(optional) Install su binary with Superuser rootpack:
- download Eclair-Froyo-Gingerbread rootpack
- place the file as is on sdcard or in some folder on sdcard (there is no need to be on top of sdcard)
- boot in recovery and go to "install zip from sdcard" menu, then "choose zip from sdcard" submenu - here you can browse through sdcard folders and install su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip (or your ROM or any update, e.g. radio, kernel etc.).
6.(optional) Make backup of Rooted ROM - see (3. : Backup)
7.(optional) Install some backup application like Titanium Backup (or PRO) or MyBackupRoot (or PRO) - this is optional but recommended. When backing up your Applications+Data you can restore them even after flashing custom ROM (which is performed after data/factory reset, and all applications and data will be wiped).
8. Install any custom or stock ROM:
- for stock ROM see 5.
- for custom ROM perform 4. (including "wipe data/factory reset"), then 5.
9.(optional) Restore Your applications and data - when Custom ROM is installed there is need to perform data/factory reset. Any backup of applications and data performed in step (7.) could be restored in freshly flashed Custom ROM.
NOTE: Later on I`ll add some additional stuff here - useful links and more deep explanation of mentioned algorithm if needed.
Happy Rooting!

But someone is going to make it to you for some $ or you bought the XTC Clip?
Because for the price of XTC Clip, you can get a new phone...

dairy of a madman

I've got me a xtc clip and found out the hard way to use it.
so far so good, S-off and I decided to get CWR to install a rooted rom
I installed CWR 3006 and so no Amend scripting and no Sense based roms
So I treid to downgrade CWR 3 to a 2version and failed.
Then I decide to downgrade 2.2.1 to use unrevoked to get root and hopfully downgrade CWR the sametime.
Yeah great the downgrade went fine but I got a touchpanel fail with several RUU i treid
what to do next I've manged to get CWR 3006 back on cause I made a nandroid backup and could reverse it
With that backup version running the touchscreen responded again alltouh in fast boot menu it still said touchpanel fail.
I've got me a full day of involving with my buzz and I'm back to were I started
very frustating.
I'm to stupid to downgrade CRW can't get root with unrevoked cause its telling me it can't flash recovery image
yeah you my laugh about me but I'm not giving up
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to downgrade CWR from 3 to a 2 version, I still don't have root and it needs to be noob proof please
i've tried so many times but always failed :-(
( if this post is offtopic pleace remove by a mod sorry I had to tell someone)

Install ROM Manager, and, install a Recovery through it. It will install CWM 2.5.0.7, and, entering Recovery Mode through ROM Manager will load up 2.5.0.7
This way, you will have both CWMs, 2.x and 3.x, which is exactly what I am following at the moment.
(Didn't read your entire thread, just went through the gist of it, sorry)

thanks for your answer
my problem is I still can't get root so I can not use Rom manager.
I've succeed in getting a lower Hboot to use Unrevoked
but it's given me "cant install recovery image", so I think it's conflicting with 3006
I do not know how to get rid of CRW and put the original one back in place.
By downgrading from a official RUU I get touchpanel-fail so I cant activate usb debugging and install from other then market this means so unrevoked can't do his job.
life is so frustrating sometime.......

me again I've been thinking about CWR.
to make a PC49IMG.zip of clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 with andriod-info.txt and the recovery.img. and give it a go.
will this function or am I just bricking the phone?

Since you have s-off:
Find fastboot binary (google)
save it somewhere
open terminal/command prompt. cd to the directory where you saved it ("cd /path/to/fastboot/")
reboot phone into bootloader. choose fastboot.
in command prompt/terminal type
$fastboot flash recovery <recoveryfile.img>
where recoveryfile.img is your recovery image (including the path to it, or just save the image wherever fastboot is)
edit: wait a minute, you downgraded your bootloader after getting s-off? WHY ON EARTH??? you crazy?

Id say some semi skimmed milk

thanks nhnt11 for your answer
to your question of downgrading bootloader got it up again
installed a oficial RUU froyo and started all over again, it solved the touchpanel fail and I installed a CRW 2.5 and I'm back in bisness
this is how I succeeded:
"Dont try to downgrade and get root with unrevoked this will end up in a touchpanel-fail ( and you have to upgrade a Ruu froyo to get rid of it)"
Get S-off with xtc clip
2.2.1 Stock Rom Rooted : http://www.multiupload.com/JSAWVUC88O
Recovery, Radio Update: http://rapidshare.com/files/451971561/PC49IMG.zip
1) Download Above Files
2) Copy PC49IMG.zip to the Root of your SD Card
3) Copy the Rooted Stock Rom to the SD Card and rename it to update.zip
4) Reboot your phone into Hboot Mode by pressing Volume Down and Power
5) It will now ask if you want to update the firmware select Volume Up for Yes.
6) Remove the SD Card and Reboot Back to Hboot Mode and select recovery using Volume Down then Power to select.
7) You should see a nice ClockWork Recovery system.
8) Reinsert the Gold Card and select apply update.zip from SDcard.
9) Let that finish then do a Wipe data/factory (Will Loose All Data and Settings only perform if your going to use another Rom!)
10) Do a wipe cache partition and in advance do wipe dalvik cache.
11) Reboot phone and Enjoy your Rooted Wildfire with Hboot 1.01.001.

[Q] Can´t get into Clockwork recovery menu

Hello all,
I'm a newbie on this Android matters, I've been using Android Donut just for a week
I want to upgrade from 1.6 to the latest gingerbread. I've been reading all about rooting, flashing, backups etc...
So far I rooted my device sucessfully using Androot. Installed Rom Manager and hit the Flash ClockworkMode Recovery, now it says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.7.
For my next step I want to do a full backup of my current stock rom before proceding with the installation of the new rom. The problem is, I can't get into the Clockwork recovery menu on startup, even if I choose startup on recovery on Rom Manager it takes me to the stock recovery and there is no backup option.
Can you help me?

On power up press the Home + Power key all in one go..............

I tried that and the screen stops at an image of a triangle with a phone next to it. Then I push again home + power and the screen of Android recovery appears, but with only 4 options, reboot, factory reset, delete cache and install zip from sd card.
When I go to Rom manager, Clockwork is installed.
I'm now reading about two files that may stick stock recovery, /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p, I think it is supposed to erase or rename, but using Root Explorer I can't see any of that two files.
I really want to use clockwork, backup stock rom and move on to the latest CM7.
Give me some advice
Thanks

AFAIK, rom manager flashes temporary clockwork mode recovery when you select this option from its menu. But isn't really flashed permanetly. Download latest clockworkmod recovery(I think there is a link on kalim's cyanogenmod rom thread) and flash it via adb with flash_image command.

Thanks, I will give it a try. I was trying to get it done without using adb or terminal modes, but if it's the only way, I'll try.
What about the tattoohack file, I've been reading about it and it must be "installed" or I may brick the phone.
Any update I'll post.

If you have errors, with command line is better to understand in which step the error occurs and find a solution.
As for the tattohack file I think that needed a specific kernel version to work properly. And there are 2 versions of that file. And if you have another kernel from these two, probably you will have problems. For this I suggested to first flash the international stock rom.

No success. I've unrooted the phone and did the cyanogen wiki tutorial with m7 exploit, su and flash_image.
I can't do the chown root.root su, it says chown not found or something like that. It also happens before to get stuck into a loop with rebootcommand appearing on shell when I do the exit after the root. Then I can't make the root stick. I do ctrl+c to kill the shell. I tried doing the rest of the proccess but on chown the command don't apply.
I need clockworkmod recovery in order to flash the latest CM7 right?

Maybe I can try to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950759, it's an automated operation.
I didn't make a goldcard, but on this tut it says that it's a nice to have. I'll try to do it with this method.

Hello all,
I'm a newbie on this Android matters, I've been using Android Donut just for a week
I want to upgrade from 1.6 to the latest gingerbread. I've been reading all about rooting, flashing, backups etc...
So far I rooted my device sucessfully using Androot. Installed Rom Manager and hit the Flash ClockworkMode Recovery, now it says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.7.
For my next step I want to do a full backup of my current stock rom before proceding with the installation of the new rom. The problem is, I can't get into the Clockwork recovery menu on startup, even if I choose startup on recovery on Rom Manager it takes me to the stock recovery and there is no backup option.
Can you help me?

I know about your problem cuz i had it also and i couldnt install using a pc cuz the usb port was cinda crushed.
The problem is that u used Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta 5 to root, am i correct??
If that the case then you just need to root via Universal Androot 1.6.1. That solved my problem. Then you just need to continue like you started with Rom manager.
I figured out that the root made by Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta 5 was causing the fakeflash.
