bricked phone via clockwork mod recovery? - General Questions and Answers

so long story short: i have an LG Optimus V (virgin mobile)
I was messing around yesterday and did the GingerBreak and installed rom manager to root my phone.
now its in clockworkmod recovery v.3.2.0.0 and i can't get out of it. I can't apply update from sdcard because it says:
e:failed to opem /sdcard/update.zip
any tips?

+ hard reset doesnt work -- only lets me back into clockwork recovery.

Did u try to wipe data

im having same problem with my tmobile optimus t but the message is
e: bad boot

isnt sbf only for droids?

well, i can mount usb from clockwork. Does anyone have a update.zip file that i can download+ install ?

can you mount the phone via USB and save a rom then rename that rom to update.zip on your memorycard? or download a specific update.zip for your phone.

Yea sorry no sbf on the lg's

evo noob needs help!!

im currently rooted via visionary and i want to go bak to stock ruu. my phone doesnt seem to connect to my computer every since the root and i cant use htc sync to run the ruu. i have sdk tools and when i try and download the drivers it says that i already have the updated driver (which i dont it comes up as unknown device) the only reason i want to unroot is to see if that will solve the connection to comp problem. i tried to flash the pc36img but that comes up bad and installation is aborted

Put the zip file on the root of your sdcard power the phone off hold volume down and power it will boot to bootloader then it will search for the file once it finds it it should ask you to hit up I think to apply and once its done reboot it....bootloader and recovery are different

I had the same problem at first try to use a different sd card. Make sure its a blank card and format it using the phone or your computer, then put the file on the card and try to load it in the bootloader.

Your going to lol when you figure out why you can't flash the zip. Recovery doesn't like spaces in your path(s). */ruu image/*
You need to remove the space. Example: */ruuimage/* or */ruu_image/* or */ruu-image/*
Something to this effect will fix the issue

I also forgot and it should have been listed I think you have to be on a sense rom in order for bootloader to load the file it should only be nammed pc06img.zip on the root of your sd card and bootloader should automatically do its thing, newkidds ruu don't get "flashed"

steps
1. rename zip to PC06IMG.zip
2. put on ROOT of sdcard (not in any folder)
3. power off phone
4. power on phone while holding vol. down
5. Once bootloader comes up (white screen with green/black/red text) it will initialize the sequence and automatically flash the zip. YOU DO NOT FLASH THIS ZIP IN RECOVERY
it says model id incorrect and when all of the image names pops up when it reads the sd card all of them say PG not PC so i switch it and when try and load it thats what it says?
is the image wrong ?
does anyone have the right image?
thanks again
ys15
hey guys
thanks for the help .
i downloaded the image again and formatted my card via computer (fat32) and then put it on the root and walah back to stock. thank god because tomorrow i have a appointment at sprint to get a new one . i thought i wasnt going to have any luck.
just like i thought when i rooted my phone somehow the connection to the computer was messed up becuase as soon as i went back to stock i got all of the options bak. was this just the way i rooted my phone (visonary).
but all in all im back to stock thank you guys for all of the help

ClockWorkMod Recovery on I9003

Hi guys,
I want to know if there is any way to enter the clockworkrecovery from the recovery console. I tried doing this but get an error that the zip is not signed. I want to flash roms on my phone.
I also came accross androidcommander, but don't know how to use it. Please help.
Sent from my GT-I9003, rooted using SuperOneClick
What custom ROM? I hope you aren't trying to flash a i9000 ROM onto this.
Nope, I came across an HTC sense and some i9000 live wallpapers and to install them we need to flash their zip files from the recovery mode. The 3e recovery mode performs sign check and that's an head ache. Every time the update.zip fails to install.
Use adb or root explorer or any file manager with root access and having ability for mounting system partition.

all version cause the stock recovery doesn't let you install unsigned or non samsung signed zip

signature verification failed when trying to flash rom

I rooted my sidekick with SuperOneClick. I downloaded glorious overdose v2 to the root of my sd card. when I go into the stock recovery (which is blue), I clear my data and cache. the only other option to flash the rom is 'reinstall packages.' So I click it and I get an error message saying
'E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.'
Did I do something wrong?
You need to put cwm recovery on your phone, and then when you reinstall packages, you will go to cwm, then you can flash the rom.

[Warning] Beats Audio Installer soft bricked my device

Hi guys,
as you can read from the title i softbricked my tablet after installing Beats Audio.I've been trying to improve the audio part on this device (or at least make it sound louder) but after Beats Audio Installer restarted the tablet it got stuck at the Asus logo (the one with the spinning wheel) and doesn't go any further.
Factory restore doesn't solve the issue,downgrading with the .22 rom also doesn't work so only solution is to wait until Asus release the .26 update on their support site.Anyway just wanted to warn you guys so your tablet doesn't end up like mine
deadlocked007 said:
take a Micro sd an put the update zip on it and name it EP700_SDUPDATE.zip zip then hold the volume button while turning in to go into recovery mode
Also did you reset data on your tablet afterwards? Using the recovery menu?

Have you actually read his post? "Factory restore doesn't solve the issue,downgrading with the .22 rom also doesn't work"
I did found some interesting solutions to the issue,but i'm still investigating,see here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492887 and here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738825
It's a bit complicated but i already setup a Kubuntu installation, now i have to make sure the device is recognized in adb.For now i'm tired,the tablet battery is empty so i guess is better if i get some sleep before trying a risky procedure like this.

Is not easy to downgrade when your device is soft bricked and when your bootloader is still locked so you dont have CWM recovery.And btw,i've never said i downgraded,i've said the downgrade to a previous firmware doesn't work using Asus recovery.
P.S. I love Android devices but Google sould seriously consider banning such high risk applications from Market,you can't just let every application in there.
I've a TF700 and the casque Beats Audio from HTC Sensation XE, it can work perfectly with TF700 ? The tablet recognize the casque, the buttons work (play, rew ...) ?
I hope you resolve your problem

Welcome back! Had to be a nighmare. I bricked mine (and I am proud to say I was the first here to brick it ;>) only for a few hours and it sucked.
They should release these .zip updates on their website before they do it over OTA anyway.

How were you able to do that? I am a little new to this, I have the exact same problem except my bootloader is unlocked, but it boots into stock recovery just the same, and I can't seem to get out of the bootloop. It will only boot to stock recovery, not the TWRP which i previously installed, and when it boots into recovery I just get the dead android, and the following:
Finding update package...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard/ASUS_BUNDLE.zip
E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard.
Installing update...

E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)

and my only option are reboot, wipe data, wipe cache.... any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

No,only this app is creating the issue and even on other devices.Devs can use beats audio ( and i thing that mostly use Awesome Beats ) when they build a custom rom,so i guees we will get it too.

[Q] HTC one accidentally factory reset/wipe from bootloader

I think I may have screwed up pretty big, but hopefully someone can help me out. I unlocked the bootloader on the HTC one, was trying to install the updateSU.zip but it was not showing up in the SD card in clockwordmod. I accidentally did a factory reset and now I can't get passed the HTC logo screen and I don't have anything backed up. I can still get into clockwordmod but I'm not sure how to undo this. I have tried searching about similar problems but it gets confusing on other phones when people start talking about external SD card slots. I think I can still side load roms through the all in one kit, but I am not sure. Any help would be much appreciated, I am so sad!
If you can access the recovery than your good. All you have to do now is to flash ROM supported by the installed kernel or flash another kernel and ROM.
If you're aiming on recovering some data then I'm afraid I have to burst your bubble because factory reset wipes all user data.

Alright, thanks for the reply. I am not concerned about user data, I just want to be able to use the phone at this point. I am not rooted yet, I can't seem to install the zip file. Would I be able to flash another kernel and ROM? or do I have to wait until the factory RUU is available?
You can try flashing a custom kernel and a custom ROM. If you've successfully unlocked your bootloader then you should be able to do it without any trouble.
Also how do you mean you can't install a custom ROM from the SD card? Does it write out any errors?

I can't install a rom from the SD card, when I look into "install zip from SD card" it isn't there. I put the .zip file into the internal memory before it got soft bricked and it never showed up in clockworkmod. I don't know how to access the internal memory now, so I tried side loading the zip with the all in one program, and it starts and says it finished, but it just stays at the HTC logo screen. I tried waiting for about 12 minutes and it never booted up.
Have you tried mounting the USB storage from CWM while connected to your PC? You could transfer the zip onto the SD card that way.
But anyway, if the installed ROM wont boot up then it is most likley due to the fact that you're trying to run it on a kernel it does not support.

You could also sideload the ROM if that is an option in CWM (I use TWRP)

I tried to sideload the custom rom Orio on the HTC one but it gets a kernel error at the end.
As soon as clockworkmod pops up I get
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I am also using clockworkmod v6.0.3.0
HTC released the kernel source code for the HTC one on their websitefor some carriers, but mine isn't out yet (sprint). Is that what I need to get it back to factory rom?
I found some RUU files for the HTC one (M7) at android files RUU website, it shows Asian and European files but no North American or US yet. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but it would be nice to start from scratch, or at least be useable.
I'm going through the same thing.. I accidently managed wiped everything on the phone when rooting and trying for S-Off. which i managed to achieve it all, until i saw "TAMPERED" atop of unlocked. That's when i tried to get rid of it and somewhere in that process, I fukt **** up... Now it seems I'm hooped.. Phone just goes to bootloader or fastboot, or whatever's on the screen.. I even used the All in One Kit to try and push a recovery countless times.. Don't know the command to push recovery or n e thing else to device... When i try, "Device not found" is what i get.. Just trying not to take it back, but looks like i may have too... If there's any in sight on this, that'll be awesome.... Cheers
