Pleeeease help me

I have a perm rooted desire hd europe model with s-off and fastboot and recovery mode on it.
I for some stupid reason chose in the system menu factory reset without thinking and now after rebooting it wont go past the animated htc logathing with the sound, it just does that over and over until i remover the battery
I can go into fastboot and recovery mode, but nothing more, can someone please help me to get this phone working again ? i would be very greatful to you, i just cant solve this myself i really want to hit myself right now

By the sounds of it you need to either restore a nandroid backup or flash a rom
UNLOCK OUR BOOTLOADERS

Actually on first boot, android phones take a long time to boot, and may appear bootlooped. Try letting it sit for a while.

Did you correct the problem?

I did wait and it just goes to the htc bootup logo and displays it over and over and over again with the sound.
What can i do, and how please help

Ok if you can get in to recovery and the bootloader your problems should be easy to solve. Do you have a back up of your original rom? If you do just restore your backup. If you don't have a backup you can flash a custom rom. Just make sure you wipe data and cache in recovery before flashing the rom
UNLOCK OUR BOOTLOADERS

Ok, i cant find any backup of my original rom. So i can only download a rom that looks as close to the original as possible (i remember that there should be original roms located in here at xda forums, cant find them now )
When i have downloaded that rom thats named something.zip, i only have to rename the zipfile update.zip and place it on the root of my sdcard and then first as you said wipe data and catch before doing the update, and that should work ?

There should be rooted stock roms available in the DHD fiorums, don't know where to find them though. But your rooted so enjoy the benefits look for the most popular rom and give it a go. The DHD has awesome development.
And when you have downloaded the rom place on the root of your sd card, choose install zip from sd card and find the rom you have downloaded no need to rename it to update.zip, select the zip and wait for it to flash. Then reboot and enjoy.
UNLOCK OUR BOOTLOADERS

THANKS YOU SO MUCH !!!!! you have really saved the day,i cant find the right words to explain how happy i am now, thank you !!!!
I tried first a few custom rom's that didnt work, and finally i installed Honeysens HD v1.4 wow it worked and sooooooo good looking, beutiful loadingscreen and rom.

UNLOCK OUR BOOTLOADERS

[Beta] Custom ROM (system.img) without unlocked bootloader!!!

FIRST TRY... Edited system.img (KERNEL 2.6.36.3 only!!!)
WARNING: ONLY USE THIS IF YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR /DEV/BLOCK/MMCBLK0P3 IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE YET, MAKE ONE BY USING THIS:​
IF FROM ADB:
ADB SHELL
SU
IF=/DEV/BLOCK/MMCBLK0P3 OF=/SDCARD/SYSTEM.IMG
IF FROM TERMINAL EMULATOR:
SU
IF=/DEV/BLOCK/MMCBLK0P3 OF=/SDCARD/SYSTEM.IMG
THIS IS A FUNCTIONAL FILE SYSTEM, I AM WORKING ON A CUSTOM ROM WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED.
THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED ON THIS SYSTEM.IMG IS THE BOOT ANIMATION (INSTEAD OF "ANDROID" IT HAS THE HONEYCOMB BEE) AND THE FONT HAS CHANGED ALSO...
AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A TEST, IT IS THE FULL FILE SYSTEM TO BE USED ON A DAILY BASIS BUT DOES NOT HAVE ANY OPTIMIZED FILES AT THIS TIME.
Alright, now that you have read the warning... download this file here:
LINK = http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1YZSDVZI = LINK
You can then push the file through ADB by typing:
dd if=/sdcard/blk0p3_sys.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Post if it worked for you or if it did not, this will help me troubleshoot...
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR FILES FIRST!!! THIS FILE IS BASED ON USA MODEL 1.104.05_GEN1 ACER A500. I RECOMMEND TO TRY ONLY IF YOU HAVE HAD TO UNBRICK YOUR TABLET BEFORE. I DONT WANT TO MESS UP YOUR TABLET!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! JEJEJE
Please post if it has worked for you or if it glitched, I am currently in trial and error so... my tablet gets bricked 1-3 times a day because I am testing different things on the system images... hopefully, I can find a way to have root on the image or at least include:
1. File manager
2. ROOT or at least the Gingerbreak.apk already installed.
3. Terminal emulator
4. Custom background upon boot
As stated, it works for me but I have only 1 tablet so if you are daring enough, please dont hessitate to help me in getting this up and running...
I AM NOT A DEVELOPER SO PLEASE BARE WITH ME AS I AM TRYING TO LEARN AS I GO... JEJEJE

props to you!
u crazy.

Beta Rom
Applied your image & got the honeybee and very small print. no other changes notes, moving back to previous system image. still can not get updates due to Chinese ROM unbricking, but that will come in time.

THANKS!!! this is what I am needing... at this time, there is NOTHING ELSE that has been changed on the file system... I am just testing making sure that my changes stick... I am hoping to be able to change some more things... As long as its working... I will continue changing things ... Until I can get an image that is worthy of "Custom ROM" status... jejeje

cant figure out how to multiquote as clicking the buttons dont do anything.
but just look at "Crsdr37"'s post in general with the imgs and update zip to get back to stock and updates!!!
and to the person who made the IMG keep up the good work. im not gonna flash it and im happy with being stock and getting updates now ;D

Have you figured out how to apply the incremental updates to the img?
I suspect it's just replacing files, I'll look at it when I get to a PC.

Ive been away from my tablet today. I put the post up and went out tonight... jejeje
Thank you guys that tested my image... if it worked for you, THANKS!!! if ou didnt, then let me know what did not work...
THIS IS NOT NOT NOT AN UPDATED IMAGE, IF YOU CHECK THE DESCRIPTION, THIS IS A TEST IMAGE TO GET A CUSTOM ROM OVER TO THE ACER A500... I AM TESTING SO I WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT UPDATES... THAT IS FOR MY OTHER POST... SORRY PEOPLE.

Never did. Am back now on the EMEA version and going to wait until someone cracks the code. I have reflashed so much I can do it with my eyes closed.

i am going to try it as well nice thing you guys do

Great
Cheers man, !

So, pulling your system image from /DEV/BLOCK/MMCBLK0P3, then modifying it, then pushing it back works?
Let me try and understand here:
I thought the whole locked bootloader thing checked signatures on the images that are about to be loaded into memory, such as the image in /system.
According to this:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/hkbf3/so_you_want_to_know_about_bootloaders_heres_the/
It says:
What does a bootloader do with digital signatures?
It uses them to check any update that passes through it.
So: dd any partition we want to modify, back it up in a safe place, mount the img we get from that, make changes within the img, and dd it back, = all good?
ie: signed bootloaders only have to do with installing update.zips on the sdcard?
Can someone clear this up for me?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't know how to answer that... I have to make my changes through the tab and then pull the system.img. Everytime I make edits externally, my tablet crashes... That's why I'm in testing right now.
sorry guys, I'm not a developer so there are going to be some things I can't answer but if someone is willing to explain it, please do as it is a learning experience for us all... jejeje

If you'd read my question before making an all-caps rude response you'd see that I was asking if you've made any headway into applying the updates, not if you had already done them.

Dude, chill man... You are right, your question does ask about headway for the updates but here are the facts:
You are asking about updates on a BETA Rom that is just in testing...
I took your question to be if the ROM file had the updates (My fault for sure). I was not yelling per say nor trying to be rude but rather making sure that people are aware this is in no way an updated image and should not be treated as such... THIS IS A TEST ROM and since your question was posted within its thread, I took it as if it was directed to the image itself and not toward me and my development...
Look, as stated, im not a developer man, this stuff is a little hard for me to do. I do apologize because I did not answer your question correctly/completely but as far as the comment... Its what I meant. jejeje

Have restored to complete US stock. Had a lot of problems related to SD cards, had to swap them out to avoid errors on the actual update.zip file, but am back to normal. Now if I can just keep my hands off until the 3.1 update comes out, or there is custom ROM...

That's what I've doing for a while now....I guess I should have shared xD
been installing custom fonts and trying to change some of the system settings from other customized roms directly from the tablet.
Instead of reflashing wouldn't it be easier to just provide the files to push into the tablet? just my 0.02

Yeah, I can provide files for you guys to install but what I was going for was an image that contained everything already setup so you can just flash it over ur old one allowing the "customization" to appear upon install/pushin the file... jejeje

Zenfone 2 Lazer (ZE500KL) Stock Files Needed

Hi All.
I am in a bit of a situation right now.
My video recording app filled up internal storage and corrupted system files (because i forgot to point it to my external SD card).
This caused a boot loop, so I went into recovery and (regrettably) wiped the internal storage. Now when I try to flash or install a new (stock) rom, none will work. I have tried sideloading, installing through (TWRP) recovery and wiping the cache multiple times as I comb through the internet for files like the system.img, boot.img, and droidboot.img, to no avail.
TLDR; I need either a backup of someone elses Zenfone 2 ZE500KL, or the system files required to get me up and running, otherwise I have a brick on my hands.
Thanks for any help
Matt

Unlock bootloader, flash the official firmware, I think you can find it on the internet. Have you tried that? You can even get a deodexed rom from here and extract files needed and flash them...

Yeah, I have.
I've tried 2 different stock roms (Marshmallow, Lollipop) about 10 different times in both stock recovery and TWRP, mixing in some full wipes and just wiping the cache. I've been looking at a whole lot of tutorials on how to go back to stock, to no avail. I've tried modifying the rom so I no longer get the status 7 error (which I dont believe I should need to do) because I get signature verification errors on both my unmodified stock roms.
Sometimes it does do through the installation fine with the modified roms (in TWRP) and everything seems fine until I click reboot. On the screen it says that there is no OS installed, and when I do reboot to the OS I get stuck on the ASUS logo.
Not gonna give up, but a bit of a headache anyway.
I dont believe I have ever unlocked the bootloader, but how would I do that from outside Android?
Thanks in advance, Matt

That's the problem, locked bootloader. forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/talking-ze500kl-g-unlock-bootloader-t3352776 there you got the old content, try it, it's from the outside of the phone. If your phone boots after that normaly, you got bootloader unlocked and your phone unbricked.

I'm not sure if you understand, but it would be helpful if you told us your problem, rather than continuing to nag for an img file. I didn't need it to fix my phone, so without you giving us more info all I can say is try unlocking your bootloader.
I know you want an img file, but if life was that simple, you wouldn't need an img file in the first place *insert inception music*

Installing Lineage OS, anyone get it working?

I was curious if anyone had any success getting lineage working on their sprint htc 10.
I've been trying to get it to work for the last few days with no success. I've unlocked bootloaders, s-off, installed twrp, root. I've been able to install some other roms like bad boys and viper. When trying to boot lineage it just hangs in a loop on the shining andriod logo.
If anyone has it working and any tips I'd really appreciate it. Thanks guys!

LOL!
Make sure you're Super CID, and follow this thread, very, very, closely.
I went through hell, but it ultimately ended up working for me, and I had RUU'd the, Sprint .30 version to start, like you.

AOSP on Sprint $$$

link is dead for me

nvmm soooooorrry

I did get this figured out. The short story is I needed to upgrade the firmware, so now I'm on the latest developer unlocked.
Basically you need to get superCID
Download the firmware you want
Delete the radio.img in the zip
Edit the text file to match your mid
Rezip then flash
This is the short story version of it. I'll link to the thread when I get home about how to flash the firmware.

So how is this running for y'all?
The biggest thing I miss from my M8 to 10 is the loss of an AOSP ROM.

When I unzip the rom.zip file, it consists of 26 additional zip files which cannot be decompressed. How does one find the radio.img?

Anyone using this as a daily ROM yet? Is it there yet?

Anyone with a TWRP flashable stock rom for MetroPCS xt1765 Perry Qualcomm

Unfortunately all the TWRP flashable roms from GetOffMyLawn&!+¢#{$ are dead and I need the stock rom for the MetroPCS variant. Anyone know where I can find it?

I think I mostly got to where I needed to go with the stock factory roms without using TWRP. After attempting and failing to make a flashable rip with Android Kitchen, I read about and saw a video on RSD Lite here youtube.com/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc (sorry can't hyperlink since my post count) It basically just quickly shows what it should look like and how it should work IF it works once setup. But it was good enough. The images I had were giving me failing to flash gpt and bootloader errors. So I manually took those complete lines out of both the flashfile.xml and the Servicefile.xml. After that it flashed everything and rebooted. To my surprise I'm not bricked and back on stock. I had to go back to enable Device Carrier Unlocking through the metropcs app (oops). Now I have to probly unlock the bootloader and root again but this time I'll make that backup
But if anyone has the flashable zips, a new upload would be nice for others.

Send me an untouched stock system.img, boot.img, and oem.img and I'll compile you a TWRP flashable ROM. If you're not sure how to dump partition images, the best way is to download an app called Partition Backup & Restore. It's a free app and was created by an XDA dev @wanam.

Hey, thanks for the offer. I'll do it. I have the img files that you need ripped and rared. Just been having some connection issues today while attempting to upload the file. I don't know how I should upload it so I'm going to use my google drive and share the link with you either here or by PM if I can't link it here due to the spam protection. Hopefully I'll have it to you within the next day if my connection becomes stable enough to upload.

Here you are MotoJunkie01, I decided to keep the extended name on the file to show exactly what Partition Backup and Restore spit out should there be something different that's needed.

Good choice. I, personally, don't see how that's a better option than just rsdlite. But to each his, or her, own. If you need no verity, magisk, and all the basics anyway, why not just flash the stock firmware. No risk involved.

Yep - seems a better choice. RSD Lite isn't the friendliness beast but it's not a bad ride once you understand the idiosyncrasies.
