[HELP] Can't flash Verizon stock firmware - HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers

I accidentally flashed to wrong firmware to my HTC Desire 530. Now when I try to flash the Verizon firmware, I get an error stating that the file is too large. I am trying to flash through adb.

Hey there. I posted the Verizon Firmware. I had the exact same issue!
Grab a microsd card and change the file name to 2PSTIMG.zip and place on the root of the MicroSD card. Then reinsert into the phone and boot the phone into fast boot/download mode. Either from typing via computer “adb reboot download” or folding volume down and power as it boots!
From there it will ask you if you’d like to accept the update. Press the volume up button and enjoy the magic!
Let me know if you have issues!

[Q] Problem after last Update OTA

Hello all,
I have an unbranded desire (GSM), rooted with the latest unrevoked, and an official ROM.Today I have received a new update OTA… something with Android Market in size of 28.87 MB. I’ve tried to install but I have not succeeded. For more info about my phone see the attached pictures.
Now the details: I saw that the update was not working , so I decided to “force “ the install process using the install update.zip from clockwork mode (2.5.0.7) and toggle signature option (it was a message about some signature error). Everything looked fine, all the process and then a message tells me to restart. Since then a loop started: white screen with green letters for HTC logo and after that a restart. And again, and again…
I have a backup on sd card. But when I try to access, the recovery menu shows me a dark screen with a phone and a red triangle with “!” sign in it. I have also the official RUU but my computer refuses now to see my phone despite of a very good link between them. Two days ago I have installed the official RUU and the connection was ok. Maybe it is because my phone is not loading all of the starting process.
Help me please with some ideas, advices. Thank you.
You can't apply an OTA to a rooted Desire without issues - how many more poeple are going to do this before reading threads and realising this!!!
You'll have to hard reset and if that doesn't work flash a stock RUU and root again
PLease tell me how to hard reset or how to flash a stock RUU. please remember i can't connect to the computer because it's not loading all the starting process
You can either:
1. Download the 2.29.405.2 RUU from shipped-roms.com and flash it via FASTBOOT
or
2. Download the 2.29.405.2 PB99IMG from shipped-roms.com and flash it via HBOOT after renaming it PB99IMG.zip instead of the long file name I used, copying it to the root of your SD card and booting into HBOOT and following the instructions
Thank you very much for your quick answer.
But please be more specific
1. How to flash it via FASTBOOT?
2.Please give me step by step instructions on how to boot the zip file.
Sorry for being annoying. And sorry for my english
For RUU:
1. Download RUU from this link
http://www.multiupload.com/UOWLL86GVB
2. Turn off your phone
3. Turn it on again whilst holding the back button
4. Once the white screen with the 3 Androids at the bottom says FASTBOOT connect to PC with USB cable and it will change to say FASTBOOT USB
5. Run the RUU
6. All being good you'll be on stock 2.29.405.2
To flash the PB99IMG.zip:
1. Download the ZIP file from here:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
2. Turn off phone
3. Remove SD card from phone and connect to PC using a card reader and a micro to normal adapter
4. Rename the ZIP file to PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip) and copy it to the root of your SD card (root = not in any folders)
5. Put SD card back in your phone
6. Turn it on whilst holding volume down
7. Follow instructions on the phone
8. Once done you should be on stock 2.29.405.2
BOTH OF THESE WILL NEED YOUR GOLD CARD TO COMPLETE
thanks. Starting now...
JOB DONE... SMOOTHLY
You do it by RUU OR PB99IMG btw - NOT both
JOB DONE SMOOTHLY. Thanks a lot.
No probs, keep the RUU or PB99IMG to hand in case you need them in future

[Q] Artemis without ROM

My P3300 is without a rom. I had problems previously and had to install the original rom via bootloader mode. It worked for a while then began to freeze and automatically restart at times. tried to upgrade the rom to a different version but was not successful. it gave me the restore mode but was also not successful. Now my phone is without a rom and i cannot install any rom to it as well. it gives me Invalid vendor id error or corrupt image for all the previous working roms i tried. it begins the update then the phone reboots at 2%. need help desperately.
You can try to flash your device with the SD_Card Flash method look for it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
1. Download the original rom for your device that was installed at the beginnig you bought the device with.
2. Extract all the contents of the installer file (winrar or a similar prog.)
3. navigate to the extracted original rom (RUU_signed.nbh)
4. Rename the file to ARTEIMG.nbh and put it in the root of your storage card
5. put the card back in to your device and hold down the voice button after you press the power button.
6. Now your bootloader should show up and check for the ARTEIMG.nbh on your storage card.
7. Slide down the volume button and it should begin to flash your device.
8. After flashing process is finished. Power device off and do a hard reset.
If your device is working again and you need further help for unlocking your device (Super-CID) to flash custom roms pm me or post in this topic.

Er. I kinda messed up..

I tried that pyramid rom, and since it doesn't boot, I was gonna try to do virtuous, Well I put that image to update the radio, and forgot that I can't get into android to take the image off, and when I need to go into recovery, it tries reading the image, and when I say no to update again, it wants to reboot. How does one get around this?
EDIT: had a smart idea and removed the SD card. all is good now.

In the future when it asks to reboot after saying no to install the image you can press down arrow key and you can go into recovery or reboot into rom
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
or in the future...turn off your phone, plug into usb on computer, run command line (assuming you have adb) and just type "adb reboot recovery".
it works even when the phone is off...
If I am understanding you right you have the PG32IMG.zip for the Radio update on the root of your SD card now you cant get into recovery cause it wants to update your radio every time you start the boot loader (Power + Vol dwn)?
am I right?
The way I work around this is to pull the SD card while the boot loader checks for update files.
once you have the ability to go into recovery (You can select recovery) push your SD back in and start recovery!
Then when you get the chance via USB Mass storage or with a file explorer on your DInc2 erase the PG32IMG.zip so you don't have this problem again.
If I helped take a second to thank me!?
Edit: DOH!

I think you dont have to erase the PG32IMG.zip just rename to pPG32IMG and if you need to use that in the future just remove the first p and you are good to go.

phone bricked? stuck at "this build is for.." screen

hi guys,
today i made a huge mistake. i was trying to deinstall the cm9 by just wiping my phone. accidentaly i made a "system wipe" with my recovery. now my phone ist stuck in the "this build is for development purposes only" screen. i tried to reboot into recovery via the aio kit - error: device not found. (led not flashing, not even when i connect it to the "normal" loading adapter). i just read another thread which ended in sending the device back to htc. i wonder if there is any possibility to safe my phone from that.

Are you able to acces the Bootloader by closing the phone and restart it by keeping pressed at same time VOLUME DOWN + POWER ?
Be careful: Do NOT press volume UP!, Do not hold Volume Down for too long!
Once you are in the bootloader you should be able to:
A:Go into recovery and repair it from there in you have the ROM on your SD card.
B:If you are unable to acces recovery mode from bootloader, try to use the All In One Tool and flash the TWRP Recovery (the one in the right part of the window) also, note that there are too version, CDMA and GSM, if you have a sim card flash GSM, if you do not have a simcard use CDMA.
Let me know how it went

ok. my phone just quick restarted. it directly went back to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. pressing volume down + power button for a few seconds doesnt work to get into bootloader. i tried it serveral times. im not even able to turn the phone off. holding the power button only wont help at all.
thanks for ur help.
edit: i feel.. pranked now it worked and i went from bootloader to recovery (twrp already installed). can u tell me what to do now? thanks a lot already
Hm,
Well since you cant remove the battery on this phone, id suggest to just let it finish with what it has left off of the battery. once it is closed try to recharge it and then try to boot in recovery, ofc you might not be able to do this today, depends how much battery you had left when the problem started, but it's a chance, also if it's rooted you bootloader will be unlocked so i doubt HTC will grant you warranty for it (not 100% about this though). let us know if you manage to do any progress with it after you manage to make it close.
cheers

i just edited my post. managed to get into recovery (twrp). what do i have to do now?
Download a new rom and transfer it to your sd card, then flash it from your recovery.
If u have the ROM in the SD card just flash it and reboot other wise as he mentioned above

Ok, last night i went to sleep.
You now need to find a way to put a ROM on your SD card. whatever ROM you choose make sure you have the correct kernel for it (in every post for ROMs you will find a download link to the correct kernel aswell).
So what you do now (after you have the ROM .zip file on your SD card and your Kernel file in your PC) is:
-Put your phone into Bootloader, Select fast boot and connect the USB cable, and make sure it tells on your phone "FASTBOOT USB"
-Then in All in One select "Flash Kernel" and browse to the correct Kernel, and flash it.
-Reboot your phone in Recovery mode, you have the option in the fastboot screen.
-In the Recovery menu select Factory Reset -> Wipe System.
-While still in recovery go to "Install update from SD card" (or something similar) and choose the ROM .zip file, wait for it to be flashed
-reboot your phone (1st boot is always a bit slower, could take up to 5 minutes).
-after you get to your main screen, reboot the phone again and flash a Google Apps (gapps) .zip file. You will find the correct version from your ROM in the official thread of the ROM. You DO NOT run a factory reset, wipe system or anything like that for flashing Gapps.
Good luck.

Stuck in boot, Will pay whoever solves the issue and provides me a step by step fix

Hello,
I'm looking for help as I have exhausted all of my search on google and xda developers and the answer doesn't seem to be there. I'm afraid I might be unable to get out of this one.
I have a huawei ascend P6-U06 I bought it and it came with the international firmware, I had rooted it and flashed miui v5 into my phone, everything was fine but one thing, I was unable to use themer, so about 3 days ago I finally decided to flash omni rom.
I downloaded omni rom and installed CWM recovery and once into the system I selected the zip from my sd card and flashed it, only to find that the phone would not go pass the first screen (stuck in boot and could not be shutdown or anything)
Since I did not do a TWRP recovery (and I don't know how, I'm just a beginner) I was unable to do anything other than the "3 button method" so I looked and found that I could put the UPDATE.APP file on the dload folder and it should work, so I tried it and the UPDATE.APP firmware version is the B125, all good I think this was the Chinese version but it had English and other languages as well, but Chinese seemed to be the main one.
Anyways I had the phone back and it did an update, after the update everything was working fine, I deleted the dload file from the sd card, also I saw that the "system" or the phone itself created a dload file on the internal storage but then once I had themer on the phone I saw myself that I hated the emotion ui and in the first place that was the reason I had put miui into my phone, I still wanted to try omni rom and persistently I tried a second time.
Now this time since I already new that I could just do the dload thingy I thought (what could happen) so I tried again with CWM to flash the omni rom (the latest version) but it gave me an error saying something like the installation was aborted or something like that.
So I went back to having the phone stuck in boot, I put the B125 UPDATE.APP and created a dload folder on the sd card, but when doing the "3 button method" the system gave me an error, I tried downloading the B122 and the B132 and also the B510 but although I have put the UPDATE.APP on the dload folder it just doesn't do it's magic like it previously did.
Now I don't really have money to buy another phone, if I did I would just buy another one (I like the p7) but I don't so I need to fix this issue otherwise I don't have a phone.
The error I get first it gives me some sort of error which disappears once the Android system recovery menu comes up. then the only thing I'm able to see says:
Checking Module MD5RSA.. OK
Checking Module CRC.... OK
Checking Module CURVER.... OK
Checking Module VERLIST....
Huawei SD card update fail.....
cust copying files...
copy cust files successed!
===================
FAIL
===================
Please help me, I'd appreciate if you can do your best explaining as I'm dumb in this matter, (just a beginner as said before) Also I'm attaching a picture of the error message being received when entering the system recovery through the "3 button method"
And as I said on the tittle, I will pay whoever helps me to solve this issue, I need a step by step (with a good explanation if possible) on how to fix it, I will pay $60 via paypal to the person that provides me with the solution.
Thanks for all of your time, I DO appreciate your help and if you have any questions please just ask! I really need to fix this!
Ok, first of all, your picture shows that you already have the KitKat recovery.
Which version of B510 have you downloaded? Is it the update.zip? I'm assuming it is...
Please download the complete update package from here: http://www.huaweidevice.ro/user/con...001C00B510_Firmware_Android 4-4_EMUI--2-3.zip
That is the official, and full firmware update from Huawei Romania.
Once your download has completed, unzip the zip file, and copy the dload folder onto your sd card.
BEFORE placing your sd card back in your phone, try the 3 button method again. You should get into recovery mode, then do a data/factory reset, and clear cache.
Once that is done, put your sd card back in your phone, reboot your device, and reboot using the 3 button method.
Hopefully this will work.
If it fails again, you need to try formatting your sd card, and do the steps above again, without doing a factory reset.
Dear op.... Did you solve your problem? How?

I have a question, how can I install TWRP if the adb fastboot is not recognizing my phone? I think it's because I'm missing the drivers but I haven't been able to find them.

Don't you just need Hisuite, the driver who comes with the phone when you plug in your USB cable? That made asb fastboot to recognize my phone at least.
You don't need ADB, only fastboot. Shut down the phone. Then hold the Vol- button and plug in the usb cable. Release the button after the you see the AscendP6 logo - now you are in fastboot and can flash TWRP. Windows Update should install the drivers (I've never installed HiSuite), just let it search online.
First delete your sd card to FAT32 not NTFS and put update.app to dload folder. then dowbload: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765202
Power up your phone with volume down. and use Huawei tool kit from that link. select KitKat , unlock bootleder first from dropdown menu, then install stock recovery.
And try to update from stock recovery "3 buttons method"

Hey so far this is the most promising option I've gotten, the only problem is when I go to unlock bootloader it's giving me an error that says "error phone not connected" I've tried getting the drivers from many different ways, one from the hi suite, another letting windows look for it, the other one was I downloaded a .exe named "driver tools" but it doesn't work either, when I connect the phone it does make the sound just as when you connect any device on USB but other than that it doesn't recognizes it on the huawei toolkit. Any ideas?

I've tried with the hi suite, downloading a .exe driver named "driver tools" and having windows look for the driver, but it doesn't recognizes it, I mean when I connect the phone it does make the sound when you're connecting something but other than that the adb is not recognizing the phone.
I had a similar problem but for me it would say verlist fail. However you should try this anyway if you haven't already: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52744051&postcount=23
What is important is that you use the recovery in that specific post. That's what fixed it for me.
