Openfire ROM Problem

Apologies for the double post but I'm dying to get my wildfire back working.
Rooted it yesterday with unrevoked, attempted to add the Openfire ROM this morning with everything going fine untill the reboot. I'm now stuck on the white HTC screen and have been for the last hour. Any help would be great, cheers.

did u do nandriod back up first

I backed up the stock firmware I already had manually, before it prompted on the flash.

did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom?

No i didn't, thought it would be safer incase something went wrong?

run your restore then I couldn't get it to work either
Sent from my Archos5 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

if you did a nandroid backup of your stock rom then you should be fine to wipe, since you did not wipe and flashed the new rom over your stock rom, apps and settings will conflict, therefore not work...

Right I see, I'm currently going through what I'm guessing is the restore....recovery - Nandroid, I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks again.

Nope I seem to be getting nowhere here, can someone point me in the direction of the restore?

you didn't do nandroid backup did you haha, you'll have to install an RUU file to return to stock rom, or just do a full wipe and flash a new rom like openfire or wildpuzzle.

Where can I find the RUU file and how do I access my SD card? USB won't let me get to it, I'm guessing the phone is in charge mode?

go into recovery - partitons menu - mount sd card (or somthing like that) to open your memory card

Spot on, I'm on downloading an ruu file now, going to load it up with a stock rom then try flashing it again, but wiping it this time.

Infact how do I do a full wipe? I'm after the easiest way to get the phone booting up so I can flash it properly?

Anyone?
I'm still no further than I was three hours ago!
EDIT:
BREAKTHROUGH!!! =D
Restored it to before I flashed it incorrectly. Nearly threw the phone across the room in excitement.

go into clockwork recovery and click the title "wipe data/factory reset" and then flash the ROM you want to use.. to install a ROM:
- "install zip from sdcard"
- "Choose zip from sdcard"
- "click the zipfile"
- "yes"
- "reboot"
and if you want to install RUU dont ask me never done that

From the HBOOT screen go to recovery, then nandroid, restore, and to the appropriate time/date.
I've still had no luck with actually flashing the phone though. Back to Android 2.1 for me.

I'm 99% percent sure you have the OC issue some ppl incl myself on here have - try reinstalling openfire if thats what you wanna use - and then go to wildpuzzle thread - dl 0050 and flash it. If i'm correct phone will be fine and use openfire - but will NOT be overclockable. I wish Jacob had my phone or got hold of a phone w that problem...

I had problems with the Wildpuzzle 8.0.11 ROM, it would just sit there (did a ADB logcat on it, but I've lost the actual log... sorry! ) ignoring a duplicate entry (yeah, I did a full wipe . Removed WP and put on the latest OpenFire ROM... omg... what a difference to the stock ROM! Soooo much faster, even before I overclocked it.
I'd say, if you have boot issues with WP give OpenFire a go. Certainly worked a treat on my Wildfire.

Really need help guys...

I have rooted and installed hboot and clockworkmod. Flash clockwork recovery and installed buzz/oc 1.22ghz CM.zip but now my desire hd keeps resetting on the flash screen. I didnt choose backup my rom on the clockwork options and tried restore but it says no files found.....am i doomed? I still can get inside clockworkmod recovery now....please help...

PM me what rom your running etc and ill run through a step by step guide to help you get your DHD working again.
I had the same problem

I was running the default rom that came with the desire hd...but i have flashed it to buzz/oc 1.22ghz rom..it said install sucessful but it keeps rebooting at the htc splash screen...i only have 2 roms in zip in my sd card which are both the buzz/oc sense and CM.zip...

Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...

rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??

or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..

Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...

Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Yes it works!!! i am downloading another rom now and then i will place it into the sd card. Thanks !!!!!!

Thank you rista and fko!!! You guys are my angels!!

SNAP... !!
Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Good to hear....well Ive got to call it a night....been up 17 hours
Us flashaholics and modders spend way to much time on the dev forums....its a hard life ..
Maybe it was for the best...you will enjoy custom roms, you can do so much..take a quick look at my DHD screenshot...its so far away from stock now

Fkofilee, you are a great help to people. It's people like you who inspired me to give back what I've learned from these forums. Now we pass the knowledge and experience on. Well done!

[Q] Upgrading Android ROM

I have installed [DAF] BOYPPC-SHIFPDA GINGER V11 on to my HTC HD2, and it is great, but as the latest release is [DAF] BOYPPC-SHIFPDA GINGER V16, do I have to reinstall the whole thing, or is there a way of just upgrading?
Thanks for any help.

I use to use DAF as its connect to computer and install, but CWM is alot easier, I mean you can install it without a computer.
To install CWM is just like DAF, connect it to computer and you have do all the basic procedures like you do on DAF.
After that you go into them option list (holding power button USB flasher etc), forgot name think ita MAGDLR, then go to AD Recovery, it boots to CWM (ClockWorkMod). Oh also you have to first format your sd card and have the .zip file of the ROM first in you SD card, after that just go to flash rom sd card in the CWM by choose .zip file to flash in sd card. After that go to ROM press Call or Green button and let the magic begin .
When an update comes (I think, I just started using CWM yesterday over DAF), you just have to do the same procedure like how you flashed the ROM with SD card (the files should be called update.zip), but the difference is that you don't choose the zip to flash, there should be another option of saying flash update.zip, that is all
OMG! Took me ages to write this on my phone haha

Hi,
Check my sig....GUIDE 2.
Should be everything you need.

Your guide was very helpful thanks. I sort of knew what I was doing, coming from an IT background, but as with all new stuff, when it is something new, it is a bit daunting.
I got the HSPL bit and the Radio ROM, I got the MAGLDR part and also installed CWM, but I don't think I installed the right CWM, as per your guide, I should have used the 'Recovery for Ginger V11', when I installed V11, instead I was getting confused with Recovery Files that had the 'Copy To SD Card' directory, the more I searched, the more it got confusing, in the end I have a 1GB partition on my SD card, which I think is not doing anything.
Anyway.....
The version of CWM 'v3.0.0.5' I have on my phone, when started, comes up with 'E:Can't find misc' and if I try to do a backup, it finds the SD card, backs up root, the fails to backup recovery, 'E:failed to find "recovery" partition to mount at "/recovery" Can't mount /recovery'. I think I have the old version/old way, so..................... Can I just install 'Recovery for Ginger V16' and if so, will I lose my Android install?
Then, where does the update.zip come from? Do I rename '[CWR] BOYPPC-SHIFPDA GINGER V16 (14.Apr).zip' to Update.zip?
I really do appreciate your help with this, and your patience........... Thank you...........

Ok,let's start again.
I think you installed CWM correctly,but the net result will be:
"Note when you flash MAGLDR to your HD2 it wipes your current ROM from the HD2. So you will have a ROM less HD2 until you either flash a Android ROM or WP7 to your HD2. You can also reflash a Windows Mobile stock or custom ROM but this will remove MAGLDR from your HD2. "(as stated in the guide)
So what you need to do next is download :
Recovery for Ginger V16 and [Rom] Ginger_Sense.s_V16 \ link2.Keep recovery on desktop,put ROM zip on root of SD card.
Restart phone,hold power button on when it vibrates.
When you're in MAGLDR go to 5 USB flasher,press left phone button.when it says USB...plug in USB cable.When it says USB...USB press DAF in recovery folder on your desktop.Follow instructions.
Restart phone,hold power button on when it vibrates.
When you're in MAGLDR go to 8 AD recovery.Take out cable.press left phone button.go to wipe data,cache partition and dalvik(in advanced).Wipe each one in turn.To go back use right power button.
Then go to install from zip.navigate to [Rom] Ginger_Sense.s_V16 .Install then reboot.
For future updates you can use same method,but use update from zip...
Hope that covers it.

Just wanted to say thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated. I haven't done it yet due to Laptop issues, but once that is fixed, I shall be playing.......
Sometimes there is so much information on here you can easily get lost and a bit confused.
Thanks.....

ClockworkMod Recovery not showing some ROM zip files

Hi Friends
I have been facing an issues with ClockworkMod Recovery since last night. Its been two or three days I have been flashing like mad man . Flashed many different ROMs and when I went to try another one it was not showing ROM in the root of SD card. I formated the card and tried again but no gain.
I flashed another recovery version but still the same problem.
Now it shows some ROM zip files and it does not show other. Yesterday I tried Coredroid and it did work then I installed hyperdroid and now again I want to install coredroid but its not showing though hyperdroid is visible.
What could be the problem and how to solve this.
Please guide.
Thanks

Run all flashes with admin rights
1. download task 29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781[/INDENT]
2. when the phone starts immedately keep lower vol key pressed..load the rom there itself after connecting usb.
3. then (sing step 2 flash hspl 2.08 not 2.08.00)
3. then flash magldr v 1.13 rom update (again using step 2)
4.then flash latest cwm usin "5 USB Flasher" in the magldr v1.13 menu
5. now after reboot goto ad recovery(this will load cwm)

[Q] VilliamROM v 13.00 for Hero telus?

My hero is from telus and is now rooted . Can I get VilliamROM v13.00 for this phone? and can anyone direct me to a GUIDE on how to install....

if you installed clockwork mode on your phone, it's easy to install a custom rom.
To get VR 13 you have to download the rom first and copy it to your SD card root. After that you have to reboot your phone into recovery mode, by pressing for a few seconds Home + Power button when the phone is OFF.
After entering the recovery mode, i recommend you do the next steps that are very easy?
1. Backup you existing ROM (the is a section that is called Backup and Restore)
2. Wipe phone data
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Go to advanced -> and wipe dalvik
5. Press back to get back to the main menu and chose to install zip from SD card and after that Chose the ZIP and select the VR 13 ZIP and install it.
6.After installation i recommend that you flash Flykernel 13. You install it just like the rom. You chose the zip and install it. After flashing the kernel you reboot your phone and wait 10 minutes
7. When the phone is ready it enters setup mode and you know what to do from there
8. Ejnoy the new rom
If you have any other problems leave a message.
Stefan

thanks for the info.... when you say save to the SD card root, what exactly do you mean... sorry it will be the first time I try and flash a ROM... and will this work on my Telus phone as I am in Canada not the UK and lastly when I back up my existing ROM the Back up and Restore is this in my ROM manager on on the phone menu, Mike

Sorry missed the other questions
1)Yes it should work in Canada
2)The backup is saved to your SD-card in the clockworkmod-folder, it will then display in rom manager (if it's installed).
You can also get to the backup through the recovery. (The same place were you installed the rom) by holding home+power on startup
Cheers

many thanks, will give it a try, Mike

When I hold the home and power and it comes on I just get a red Triangle, I have Titanium back up and did a full back-up and used ROM manager as well, any suggestions, thanks,
my phone is fully rooted

You need to install a recovery.
Tap "Flash ClockworkMod recovery" in rom manager. When it's done follow stefpaul's instructions
