i would certainly not mind to fix your phone for you,but we can help you thru it without having to do that,so youll be without it for a lesser period of time,and not risk any damage in shipping. plus,you will have gained useful info and knowledge that will help you with your phone in the future.
download these files:
-mini-adb.zip:
mini-adb.zip
-the latest amon ra recovery image:
[Recovery] Amon Ra style vigor - xda-developers
first thing you need is drivers for adb to see your phone. if you have htc sync installed,you should allready have drivers. if not,you can install htc sync,or install
these modified htc drivers from
revolutionary (i recomand revolutionary drivers)
1)
prepair ADB
-unzip your mini-adb.zip file. this is native funtionality in windows 7. you otherwise may need a utility such as "7-zip" to extract,or unzip it. place the
unzipped folder onto the root of your C\ drive on your PC(sorry, you mac guys will need to develop this for yourself,i dont have a mac). root means the top level,not inside any folders. so just copy and paste,or drag and drop the folder onto C with everything else that is there. rename it to "mini-adb_vigor" since youll be putting some vigor(rezound) specific files in here. you actually can call it whatver you want,but directions from here forward will assume this folder to be named "mini-adb_vigor"
-open a command window. on windows 7,click the start bubble in the lower left and type "command" in the search box. xp i believe is similar or the same. doing this should open a small black command window.
-change to your mini-adb_vigor directory. type the following at the prompt in your cmd window:
cd c:\mini-adb_vigor
2)
launch a temporary recovery:
-move the image file you downloaded above for amon RA and place it into the mini-adb_vigor folder.
-type in your cmd window,or copy/paste the commands that are in
bold
-check the md5 of your recovery image:
md5sums <recoveryname>.img
i.e.,if youre using an image named
recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm,then your command will be:
md5sums recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img
**make sure the resulting md5 matches the one that drellisdee lists for the image that you downloaded. **
(if you use 3.15,then the md5 should match:
9d127cde10b68de5e424aaea2d4a4357)
-boot to bootloader: pull the battery,power on into hboot via power/vol down. select fastboot from the hboot menu. plug in the phone.
-check for connectivity:
fastboot devices
-should return serial number
-enter this command to get us some info about your phone:
fastboot getvar all
tell us what the main version number is(or copy/paste all the info)
-temporarily launch your recovery to phone memory:
fastboot boot <recoveryname>.img
again,if youre using amon:
fastboot boot recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img
-youll see a (really fast) green status bar on the top right as your PC sends the recovery to your phone. youll then see the
HTC splash screen,then your recovery.
now that youre recovery is running,you have lots of options. you can mountusb storage to move things on and off the sd card without having to move it from one phone to another. you can also flash the main version tool recomended by obscuro:
main version tool (wich i would strongly reccomend)
at this point,if you have a stock backup you could restore it. or you can relfash your rom. with your recovery booted in this manner,it is able to write the kernels,so a backup should restore fine,and if the rom is scriped to flash the kernel(most are,unless they are old) it will flash fine.
again,as long as recovery is launched from fastboot like above,you dont need to flash kernels seperately.
once you are sorted,and bck to a working phone,id strongly recomend to permantly install amon in place of cwm. you can do this just like above,except use this command to permantly flash amon:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryname>.img
for amon:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.15-gnm.img
notes:
-to paste into the cmd window,you must right click/paste. you cannot control/v
-to copy from the cmd window,right click. click mark. highlight everything to copy in white. now hit enter,or right click again.
holler if you have more questions
