[Q] Problem installing D2EXT+roms?

Hello,
I have just formatted my SD card correctly to use the D2EXT+ roms that are available.....
I flashed the D2EXT+ hboot from CrystalKingdom v0.3.1 and installed the rom yesterday and everything seemed to work fine apart from the weather where i was getting forced closed, i also tried Alex Vs rom and it installed but i had constand forced closures.
I tried today with CrystalKingdom latest rom and once installed i get display issues....the lockscreen is just a white square and the HTC cloch is just white with no details, also my apps have very big writing that is messing up the screen.
I obviously must have missed something.
Could someone help me out please?
Edit: I i aso have USB brick now....CAn someone point me to the latest easiest way to sort this now please and how do i find my cid?
I am S-Off
Thanks.

I flashed this rom again a third time and it has loaded up with no problems....don't know why?
But i have a USB brick.....i am trying to use Android flasher to fix it but i can't get the cid.....i followed a guide to get the cid using astro file manager but thats too big to use with android flasher.
Can some one give me a step by step guide, the old tutorials seem to be very mixed up now.
I have flashed back to CyanogenMod-7 now so maybe i can fix this with the terminal emulator?
Appreciate any help.

I am going to say that the first booting time of every Date2EXT rom should be a little long.
If you see something was force closed at the first booting time, just click "wait", "wait" and "wait"!
I used to have the same problem with you ,and Alex told me this way and everything solved!
Er...
I don't have any ideas about how to fix your USB brick, I am very sorry for that. Do you mean you can't link your phone to the computer at the bootloader? or at the android OS? Can you push your files to your phone through the USB line?

Thanks for the reply I will try that.
About the USB problem, I cannot connect my phone to USB though android OS, USB debugging or USB options do not show when enabled.

Thank for the link

you are S-OFF, so to fix USB-Brick do:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
of course ADB must be set up correctly @ PC
fixed

Thanks for the reply.
I have now fixed my USB brick.......Cheers
I have decided to go back to using A2SD+ roms as i was getting too many problems with D2EXT+, do i need to change the Hboot again for this and would appreciate it if someone could point me to it.
Thanks.

I would appreciate it if you press thanks button.
I could not get what's your current hboot. If it's stock, you do not need to flash another hboot.

Hi, thanks sent, i figured out the hboot problem.

[HELP!] Downgrade does NOT work after hours of trying

My DHD recently crashed and I had to send it in to replace my mainboard. So i got it back and there was the original FW on it. This one had the number 2.36.x. I tried to get temp root for a while, but nothing would work.
So I updated my phone to 2.50.163.3. Not working here either.
So I took my Goldcard and updated my phone to the unbranded FW 2.50.402.2.
My problem is that GingerBreak isn't working at all (the apk isn't and also the pure executable) and fre3vo does NOT find any address where it could exploit. I already checked so many addresses here...
I tried this with all FW's and it never worked!
But I need root access so my Titanium backup works....
PLEASE help me guys!!
Edit: I also tried Ace Advanced Hack Kit, didn't work either...

Try the root guide in my sig, bit I'm not sure you can root 2.50

I rooted my phone from 2.50.405.
I used the Advanced Ace Hack kit. Did you factory reset before using it? That should solve your issue.

I boot it, enable USB debugging and get it into "Load battery only" mode. Then I start AAHK as Administrator (tried it with ubuntu and win 7) and press 1.
After that fre3vo is scanning possible exploit addresses and finds nothing, so everything else fails...

Before use Hac Kit
Prerequisites
Windows - a good, clean environment is critical
Make sure HTC USB Drivers for Android are installed (included in the Hack Kit @ tools/windrivers)
Disable all malware detection, including Windows Defender
Uninstall HTC Sync
Uninstall Droid Explorer
Uninstall iTunes or stop service
Uninstall ALL other phone pda or tablet software
Disable all unnecessary tasks and services. Google how to do this as ADMIN.
The hack kit runs flawlessly in under 6 minutes time on a clean PC env with drivers properly installed.
The command MUST be started as Administrator
I double click hack-ace.cmd but its really not work.
Its show Your PC Windows ENV is damaged...........
But I try to double click hack-ack-xph.cmd Its work and connect to hack
Only 5-6 minute done !

Also disable Fast Boot. It causes a lot of problems with things like this. Then make sure you have your computer set up correctly as in the red text in the post above.

This is very strange. Have you got another computer to try with? Try using different USB ports. If you have a desktop computer use the ports at the back because they are connected directly to the motherboard. The front ones are connected by cable to the motherboard.

I've tried it with my Notebook in Win7 and Ubuntu 11.10 as well and with my Desktop PC using Win7...
I've also tried it with different USB cables, the problem seems to be with my phone as fre3vo doesn't really work for me.
Isn't there another way with another exploit (except GingerBreak which doesn't work as well) where I can get TempRoot? That would be all I need, downgrading itself is no problem for me as I've done that before...

maybe
use the UMT

Make sure you have the latest drivers from Samsung installed on your PC. Reboot the phone, reboot the PC, start as fresh as you can. Best way to go about it is to Odin EC05, One Click root with CM3 (purple version) and go from there.
Check the stickied thread with the old stickies in it, you'll find everything you need in there. And last but not least, for the love of everything holy, don't use the stock cord. Get something decent, blackberry cables seem to work the best for me. Make sure the port you're plugged into on your PC is on the back (so it's direct into the board) not one of the front ones.

Well first off, having the thread title as "???" does not help anyone with searching for answers.
I'm trying to understand your situation: So you say you were on Eclair and rooted, and then was able to upgrade to Froyo while rooted? That's not possible. The update would have failed after seeing a file system mismatch.
For Eclair and Froyo, the 1-click root method works. However, for Gingerbread you have to Odin a custom kernel and recovery, then install the Superuser app. Once you have CWM installed you can flash any EL30 rom you wish. The modem is upgraded manually. Look in the dev section for the sticky thread that has the thread link in it.
Video 1: http://youtu.be/kwFRzzIqouE
Video 2: http://youtu.be/jWOLEXqAeCc
To follow up on your Odin woes: use a different USB port that is directly on the motherboard; and a different cable.

2.1? Froyo? You know the Epic has official Gingerbread right? And stable ICS?

Well i know that but the site wouldn't let me name it anything, I mean like 15 different titles that i wasan't allowed to use. Anyway I was able to fix the phone up, i was having a driver issue & that's what was stopping Odin from detecting the phone in downloader mode.

[Q] Need advice with installing stock ROM

Hey Guys,
I know there are a lot of threads like these, but unfortunately most of them are not exactly up to date, and when you are frustrated with failure that isn't helping either.
So here's the thing, I've tried installing custom recovery and ROM. I used HOX toolkit i've found here, the author suggested using TWRP. It installed okay but i wasn't able to use it because the touchscreen didn't work at all. So I've tried different tutorial on onexroot.com this time with cwm. Again everything installed correctly. I went on to install custom rom (cyanogenmod 10.2) installed it, everything was ok, rebooted my device, the cyanogenmod spinning logo pops up saying something about apps and stuff, then it was stuck for more than 5-7 minutes which pretty much means it doesn't work. So I've tried wiping stuff as said in the tutorial which didn't seem to change anything... Now I'm stuck and have no idea what to do since I haven't backed up old rom (is something like that even possible)
Anyway how should i proceed now?
Is there a way to get back to stock everything or did i just destroyed my hox?
I do realize that this is most probably my fault and i feel really ashamed.
So any working links/tutorials/anything are most welcome
Thanks

OK... First of all PLEASE tell me that you have made a nandroid backup before messing around !?!
If you did than it's all fine...
if not... well, we'll come to that...
So, first of you need to get into the bootloader, and flash the boot.img... Get the file by extracting the cyanogen.zip to your PC...
Now move it to the data folder in the all-in-one toolkit, shft+right click there on empty space and click open with command propmt...
now run:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Now you should be able to boot into cyanogenmod...
Now if you want to go to stock, you can just restore your nandroid and flash the stock boot.img using mentions commands, but if not you'll have to ether find an ruu or find an nandroid backup that someone uploaded with your base...
Now, just believe me this...
The BEST recovery is CWM Touch 5.8.4.0 as of today...
So use it...

1 : he already said he hasn't got a backup
2: cwm 5.8 is not the BEST recovery because it's outdated ! Twrp (repacked or not) or philz touch recovery are way more advanced.....
Just saying

And can I just add that the guides are NOT outdated. They work if you follow instructions exactly
Put the kettle on

gonna try desmonds way.
I didn't back up anything
I didn't mean quides on unlocking your device are outdated, by all means they are great for community created guides. What I meant by that that trying the reverse process is a little bit of a struggle

Ok, but when you execute the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" you should type "fastboot erase cache" before and after that command
Put the kettle on

Thank you so much! All of you! It works! Faith in humanity, people on the internet, myself RESTORED!
here's what i did

Okay, not everything really works.... I'm missing playstore, how should i proceed now? :/
nevermind, just found out why
Okay another problem :/ I wanted to installed google apps, however usb driver doesn't work anymore, why is this? i can see HTC in device manager but i do not have appropriate drivers

Because in cynogenmod UBS debugging and adb are disabled by default... Tap the build number a couple of times to unlock developer options and enable them

Well you go into settings > about > there you will find stuff like android version... if you tap on that a few times you get the jelly beans to play around with, and so if you tap a few times on ether build number or baseband version you will get a toast notification that you are now a developer... now go back to settings and you'll see a new entry at the bottom, called developer options... go in there and turn them on... then fins adb and usb debugging and turn them both on.

It's easy. Would recommend you use a USB Stick & verify the files are not corrupt.

And in case your device was rooted with KingRoot or the likes...
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-factory-reset-a-rooted-fire-tv-using-twrp-custom-recovery/
Note: NEVER WIPE "SYSTEM". And if you mistakenly do. Make sure you reflash a PreRooted ROM before any rebooting or powering down.

Yes, you should be able to use the ADB Mouse emulator. I have never tried it but it should be the same steps/principal as it's done on the USB-less FireTV Stick. Just start reading from Step 12 of the following guide. (DO NOT DOWNLOAD FIRETV STICK FILES, Just follow how to enable the ADB Mouse Emu)
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-inst...d-an-initial-rom-on-a-rooted-fire-tv-stick-1/
Since you will combining two guides. Make sure your fully awake & know what you are doing. Don't flash the wrong devices file. The prior Guide is correct. From this guide you are only reviewing how to use ADB's Mouse Emu.
It might be easier to just get a USB Hub & connect both a USB Stick & KeyBoard. Btw, wireless USB keyboards work fine.

k, so let's go thru the options. After some info.
Is it a FTV1 (Only has a USB port) or FTV2 (Has a USB Port & a microSD Port).
Then go to Settings/Applications/Manage Installed Applications & look for either TowelRoot or KingRoot or anything with King in the name.
Also check if you see SuperSU v2.46, BusyBox, XPosed in Apps. They will be in alphabetical order.
Do you have a particular setup that would be to complicated to start from scratch?
Report back on the ?'S above & I can give you a more detailed answer for your device.

Got it!!! Running latest software. Thanks for all your help.all I did was wipe data,cache,delvick and flashed rom
