Hello android community,
To make this short and sweet, I really need some advice. Was given a verizon eris today and when it boots, it goes to white screen with 3 skater droids on it, and freezes. I got into recovery and hboot, and it has a stock recovery. no idea about the firmware. but i put the image needed to root on sd and it didnt read it.
i would like to root the phone, and install a custom recovery. also, im having trouble finding the correct driver for the eris, so i cant access adb right now.
Thanks alot in advance.
The drivers, the way to get em hook your phone to comp and download HTC SYNC, it el install the drivers, as for the freezing no idea maybe bad flash on radio or Rom, no idea.
when you go into HBOOT what is ther version? should be like
1.4x.xxxxx

That's a stock bootloader. Do a search in the forums for the original root rom and install that via bootloader. Then you can push amons recovery via adb. If you need more detail and no one gives you any I'll elaborate after I get off work.

... but he doesn't have an OS at the moment to run the one click - he only has the bootloader to work with.
Wow, a 1.46.xxxx phone - the OP got an early one. 2009 phone for sure.
I guess we'll see if HBOOT/PB00IMG.ZIP works for him.
dangambino,
There are a few different HTC leaked ROMs floating around named "PB00IMG.ZIP". Make sure that you get the one with an MD5 signature of
63eacc5ede3b179f95dc22d8ef585f94 ( 107,427,740 bytes )
[ Edit ] Actually, now that I think of it - root is universal for the Eris, it really doesn't matter which PB00IMG.ZIP file he uses, so long as it isn't corrupted - install any PB00IMG.ZIP and then run the "One Click"
when I add that P00img.zip to sd, and reboot into recovery, its not reading image? anyone know why? let me try abother file and check md5 sum. be back....

PB00IMG should install in bootloader not recovery. After bootloader loads posts vol down and it should start installing. Be sure the file is named PB00IMG.zip After it installs you will have to push amons recovery via adb.

Hi all this is my first post here and I was hoping someone could help me install Villain 2.2 Froyo on my 3UK Hero
If you havn't rooted already then you're gonna need to go down the goldcard route.. which takes a long time and doesn't always work... just make sure you have a kingston sd card.. the one that comes with the hero doesn't always work and didn't for me. There are plenty of guides around for rooting and installing roms. Once you've done rooting follow these rom updates as the coder is very good and updates frequently http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734149
+1 on the link above. Cronos 2.2 Froyo for GSM hero has been in very active development intensively for a while now and has suddenly gone from being a little unpredictable but showing great promise to being, in my opinion, the best froyo rom for the gsm hero.
I rooted my Hero but when I try and run Titanium Backup it says
"Error-Sorry, I could not acquire root privilages....."
Also when I try and boot into my HTC whilst holding the home key I just get a black screen with an explanation mark inside a triagle ??
Also recovery flash doesnt let me back up it just says
"backup fail: could not run command"

Dunno. I mean, I'm hardly impartial on this one But I certainly know that something is in the works over at TeamVillain that might be interesting
But really this is something to work out for yourself. No one ROM is better than another, except in really amazing circumstances. Some people prefer VR12 since it has Sense, while no Froyo hero ROM has Sense. It's all up to your personal preferences.

I don't know when the new one will be ready, so you could try Froyd 1.1.1 for now. The new one will need a full wipe etc, but the current version is perfectly usable, and I've been using it for over a week now.
Run the VillainROM updater once installed, and take the two updates there

No, the updater is in the ROM. And you should be using the guide for 1.5.
And you need to follow the "GoldCard" Procedure as opposed to the other method.
I did the GoldCard procedure yesterday to root my Hero it was a different guide to the link you posted though.
Also when I try to update my Hero drive on my PC it just says there is a better driver already installed it wont let me change it ?
"GoldCard" Procedure
I. Setting up the SDK
I have done this and got my serial
II. Create a “GoldCard” from a MicroSD Card
is this where I should be starting then and ignore everything above this ?
Also windows will not let me update driver ??
adb shell
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
it says : not found

am I being really stupid and missisng something ?
I have also tried using the gold card tool but I get errors there too
So I combined the too I got the CID code from the tool then went to the sites stated on the guide and got the other code and downloaded the HEX tool and did what the guide told me and it let me mount the SD card afterwards does that mean it as worked ? because when I click on the titanium backup program it says
Sorry, I could not acquire root privilages
does this mean I have failed, this is getting really annoying ?

Hmmm. When you finished the hex part of the process, did you get it to connect to your PC properly when in the SD card reader, and could you access the drive letter correctly? If not, you didn't do the goldcard right.
Failing that, you could try and install 2.1, although I'm not sure if 3UK have made an OTA available yet for it. Once 2.1 is in, you can use the faster adb method on it
I am unsure as to what you're doing, but once you made the goldcard, did you then flash the RUU as directed in the guide?

That's incredibly vague. Anyway, you're better off using Amon-RA's recovery for an Eris, ClockWork Mod is known to brick our phones... assuming that's what you're using. Seriously you've given us next to nothing to work with.
It is clockwork. Thanks I didn't know that. How do I get amon-ra. Recovery.

Easiest way is to run jcase's 1 Click Eris Root, you can find it on the Market or here
Using Amon is pretty straight forward, just boot into recovery (powering off and power on by VolumeUp+Power/EndCall) the navigation is straight forward, uses trackball. The only thing is it will not see any ROMs inside folders, just keep them at the top on your SD Card

Probably won't work if the ROM on the phone is anything but a stock ROM, as the rooting method relies on a specific "chmod" statement in the boot partition's "init.rc" - most dev ROMs don't have this in there.
I believe that ROM Manager has an option to install an "alternate recovery" (in this case Amon_RA v1.6.2) but I have never used ROM Manager, so don't quote me on that.
There's always this thread, but it may be way more than the OP bargained for. I would sooner tell a newb to just restore the phone back to stock using the "Official" 2.1 MR3 RUU (RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe), and then re-root using jcase's Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk thread.

There is a post over on AndroidForums.com that is sort of a mini-tutorial with pictures on using Amon_RA. (It's actually part of a longer rooting thread, but it provides lots of pictures about using Amon_RA).

joejoe,
if you are not careful you are going to eff your phone up.
There are a couple of people on this forum that use ROM Manager/Clockwork, but in the past, they have not stepped up to help to people asking about it.
Most of the reasons for that are historical - ROM Manager and ClockworkMod recovery were not available for the Eris as early as Amon_RA's recovery - and early versions of ClockworkMod bricked a number of Eris phones. It probably is a lot more reliable now (on the Eris); but because of that history, most people familiar with Eris rooting methods just continued to use Amon_RA because it worked and behaved reliably.
My recommendation is that you return your phone to stock, and then use the "One Click" app to re-root your phone. At that point you will have Amon_RA on your phone, and you will probably get more help (either here or over on androidforums.com) because there are more people that have that experience with the Eris that can help you out with it.
Either that or you simply need to do quite a bit more reading about how ROM Manager works, what a custom recovery looks like when you are interacting with it manually, etc - it is evident from the questions that you are asking that it is unfamiliar territory for you.
Good Luck

You might want to charge your phone completely (100%) and then put it in fastboot mode prior to firing up the RUU utility on your PC - see the detailed instructions in this post
I was flashing MeanBean to the newest version 3.09 from 3.07 i was currently on. I cleaned delvik and cache hell I even did the system and it sits in boot. So after many reflashed of 3.09 i finally decided to flash a different rom all together. That rom stays in boot. I'm S-on btw. I dont know what to do. I'm disabled and live alone so I need my phone. Thank you guys very much in advanced.
Sounds like your TWRP may need to be upgraded to the latest. You will have to go to the teamwin website and update using fastboot since you can't boot into the rom. If you have a nandroid backup you should try to restore that first.

You just need to be able to get to the bootloader. So long as you have your PC/Linux set up with adb you can run the adb fastboot command and install the recovery then adb reboot.

First, make sure you renamed it properly.
Then, make sure you're putting it in your external SD card, not your internal. If you don't have an external, then just place it in /sdcard

When i bring up the bootloader it update twrp and when i select recovery, it reboots to a black screen. How do i pull out the file so it doesnt reinstall twrp every time. It wont open twrp so i can remove the zip. Could that zip file be bad?
Do i need to select clear storage in bootloader?
Does it take time for twrp to load? I dont remember my phone doing this on the last twrp install.
Just remove the SDCARD from the back and you won't have it try to install it every time.
It doesn't take long for TWRP to load really. After the installation, boot into the Recovery through the bootloader.
If he is s-on I didn't think he could flash a recovery through the bootloader.
Update your drivers and try to install the recovery through fastboot.
You didn't need to make a new thread in the wrong section for help as people were already helping you.

Im still getting stuck in boot. I'll try another rom I use.
One of my friends BRICK his phone and he has no idea how. He has a rooted HTC ONE X on AT&T network with Viper XL (Not even sure what version of the ROM) probably from last december.
It is now stuck on the Booting animation screen and won't get passed that. I am able to access TWRP recovery, but there is not zip files or backups any longer. When I originally flashed this phone for him I had a zip file on the root of the internal SD CARD. It no longer is there and i have not rooted/flashed a phone for almost a year and can't remember.
I tried to fastboot oem lock and it fails (was thinking i could some how get it to boot and install stock jelly bean)
I am able to mount the SD card via TWRP and throw a rom in there via zip, but when i unmount i and go to restore or install i do not see any zip. When I mount again the file i put in the phone no longer exists.
Is there a work around or another way to flash any custom room. I was thinking of CM10 nightly evita... I don't care what rom as long as i can get the phone working again for him.
Is there a way to flash a rom the way we flash boot.img via fastboot where the files can reside on the PC and not the phone? Any assistance/tips would be great. Again i don't care which rom I flash and i have TWRP recovery access. Currently i have CM10 downloaded if hat helps. Thank you in advanced.

Glad you found the correct forum eventually. However, if you con boot into recovery, I'd suggest using adb to push a rom to the phone and flash that. I've always had Samsung phones, and this is my first HTC, but I would imagine the same theory applies to all vendors. If your phone can boot into recovery, and you have the right drivers installed, you can push a file to the phone and flash that.

Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.

I was curious as why you relocked it in the first place.
Where are you getting Mokee from that doesn't have a link to their Downloads?

thanks will try this out and let you know later how it works! I download the custom rom from true android blogspot.ca (can't post links just yet, annoying).

Right on. Well, you should bookmark the thread here on XDA because that's typically where the action happens.

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.
So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.

Okay that did the trick, properly got philz recovery installed, did the install again, this time it worked, clicked reboot and now it's stuck at the Dual Core bootlogo screen

Did you do a full wipe, including wiping /system?
If you didn't, it should be under Mounts and Storage > Format /system of something of that sort.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

The battery doesn't come out of my phone as you can't take the back off. I got into fast boot easily them selected recovery and nothing happened, I think my phone is screwed

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.
