[Q] help needed phone wont boot after loading ROM - Milestone XT720 General

Hi
I hope someone can help me, I have updated my phone with a copy of the "wanhusteelblueoptimised" rom but never noticed that there was no boot image in the file I downloaded, after I did the update my phone will not boot past the motorola logo, I can not connect via ADB or rsdlite and I don't have a recovery image for the stock recovery "update.zip" I found one but it failed the signature check. I know of no way to get into open recovery mode from my situation so I can apply another custom ROM. Does anyone have a stock "update.zip file" or know of some fix?
Thanks

You should be able to get in to Open Recovery by holding in the volume up while powering on your device. If that doesn't work you can get the Open Recovery files at ModMyMobile. Un-rar the pile on your pc & copy the openrecovery folder & update.zip over what should already be on your sdcard. You don't necessarily need the boot.img & I would try to just wipe data / factory reset & rebboot first.

hi 3rdstring
Thanks for your reply.
I have never booted into open recovery and am not sure how, I have already tried copying the open recovery files and update.zip onto my sdcard but when I try to install the update from the stock recovery it gives me an error as below
Also I feel sure I should be able to get into the phone with ADB even when in recovery mode, can you confirm this? I am not sure if I also have a problem with my data cable.
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
--install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Veryfying update package...
E:EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD

installation aborted.

How did you update your phone to run "wanhusteelblueoptimised"?

I've always had the Can't open /cache/recovery/command in Motorola's recovery & Moto's recovery will only flash an official Moto update (which apparently will never happen for this phone). The update.zip from OpenRecovery runs when you boot in Open Recovery (by holding in the volume up while turning on the phone). This is the recovery you have to use to flash any of the custom ROMs.

Hi Mioze7Ae and 3rdstring
I used the open recovery but from the normal running condition not from a position where it would not boot. Never tried to boot directly into open recovery. had my phone for 5 months and still learning.
I found another post detailing how to boot into boot loader mode and still could not connect to the phone, my drivers had been screwed up so after re-installing them I was able to flash the SBF file, all is fixed now thanks for your response I may not have found out about booting into boot loader mode without your input about booting direct into open recovery, I still need to get that right as I only ever got into stock recovery.
thanks and Regards

[Q] Clockwork and no backup

Howdy all, yay another newbie!
Phone is a droid 2, verizon network. I rooted it last night with the super 1click, have SU access, wireless tether and installed rom manager free version.
Flashed cwm recovery to 2.5.08, tried to backup existing rom and had an immediate reboot with no backup made. Tried repeatedly same results, reflashed cwm repeatedly same results. Tried to change the cwm recovery version, and have
2.5.08
2.5.1.4
2.5.1.3
2.5.1.1
listed. But trying to load any but 2.5.08 returns "An error occurred while downloading your recovery.
I tried going into CWM recovery through rom-manager but it immediately reboots back to normal, no recovery screen.
I entered into normal recover and tried to run the 'update.zip' which returns
E:Can't open /cacherecover/command
Install from sdcard
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I wiped back to factory through the normal recovery screen and started fresh and am getting exactly the same as before with everything above tried again.
I have not tried installing a new rom, don't want to go that deep until I know I can reset if needed.
Any help or other ideas? What I've been able to find by searching hasn't resolved the problem yet.

[Q]Cant Install Updates from Recovery

Ok, I cant install any update.zip files or NAND stuff to go back to stock. Everytime I try, it says E: signature failure and aborted. Ive wiped all my data and everything too.
Here is the screen info.
Android System Recovery <3e>
reboot system now
apply update from /sdcard << cant install anything using this.
wipe data/factory
wipe cache partition
So everytime I try to install something it says E: signature verification failed.
I run a WIND Nexus S, with a the ICS 4.0.3, which really ate up my memory and started lagging like turtle after an hour or 2. SO I wanna go back to stock and install another version that hopefully rus better and smoother. Please help
Do you have cwm 5.0.2.x or greater?
No, I think Im 3.xx something. BUt Ive tried updating thru rom manager and it says I dont have the privileges. I have superuser installed o I dont know why its not letting me. Do I have to manually apply the 5.8.0 touch update???
I assume you have an unlocked bootloader, so use fastboot to upgrade to v5 or greater. You don't need the touch if you don't want it, you can just use 5.0.2.0 if you prefer.
Recap of command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You can get the latest superuser .zip file from here. You can probably flash that through the older recovery if you're unsure how to use fastboot.
Thanks for the replies Harbb. SO I did fastboot flash recover to the new 5.0.2.0.. but nothing happened. The cmd did say recovery sent in 1.7 secs. But when I reboot nothing changed. Its still the same recovery at 3e and I still cant install updates cuz of the e: signature verification failure.
EDIT: I just got it to work. Thank for the help Harbb, extremely appreciated.
Good to know you got it sorted

If I can get into the Fastboot screen I am not fully bricked??

I can boot with volume up and get to the recovery screen. I am combing threads and doing all I can now. Any help is greatly appreciated. Downloading the SDK on slow work internet now and attempting to get all files I think I might need as we speak.
give members more details [what did u flash etc], so they can help u.
No, if you have recovery mode available nothing is lost.
Just download a ROM you like, and try flashing it. If it doesn't work, try formatting and then flashing again.
I flashed one click stock and I saw that SYSTEM failed while it was running. Now I get no boot but I can get to the stock recovery.
How do I get a rom onto the phone in its current state?
when I boot with the vol up / power combination I get a small menu for reboot bootloader, reboot, recovery or power off. If I select recovery I get the triangle icon with the ! and then after a minute or so I can get to what looks like a very small clockwork menu with: reboot system now, apply update from /sdcard, wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition. I have tried to apply a rom I had on in the list but it failed verification and the list is only partital it does not let me go all the way down.
In recovery you can still use adb to transfer files to the device.
Code:
adb push update.zip /sdcard
I am having trouble getting adb to work. I am following these instructions but something seems to be wonky?
http://androidadvices.com/how-to-install-set-up-and-use-adb-for-android-devices/#.UAWbt7Sm_Nk
can you point me in a better direction to get adb access
I just noticed at the bottom of my screen in slightly greyed out copy it reads: FASTBOOT STATUS - FAILINVALID COMMAND

That small menu as you called it is fastboot.
That recovery is stock recovery.
Connect to phone to computer and use fastboot to flash a custom recovery. Boot into said recovery. Mount usb storage. Transfer rom over to phone. factory reset/format system and flash new rom.
If you don't know how set up and use fastboot. Look it up.
I got the bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed but whenever I try to flash a rom I get the error message " E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)
Any thoughts?

Do a full wipe, re-download the rom ( make sure its the correct rom for your device) and try again.
If it still fails. Flash the official stock images and make sure that at least works
I am fully wiped but I am going through the process again just to be sure, all I have on the device right now is TWRP its unlocked and boots into TWRP recovery fine. But everytime I flash, I have tried 3 roms and one was the NS4G_IMM76d_deodexed it hits me with the same error as before: e:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)
I am searching frantically for a fix, any help is appreciated.

Extract contents of sojus-imm76d-factory_windows-scripts.zip to the sojus-imm76d on your the desktop.
With phone in bootloader mode run flash-all.cmd in the sojus-imm76d folder.
If all worked it should be boot and be working.
That should restore yours to default firmware all using fastboot. Hope this helps.
This site (http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/) got me up and running with TWRP then I been having issues flashing roms, I am able to get a Peter Alfonso stock rom to boot but then if I try to flash I get the same error. I was able to ODIN the stock 4.0.4 but nothing seems willing to flash via clockwork or TWRP.
Ok just to bring some closure to this, thanks for all the help. My problem with the status 7 error was that I was using the wrong clockwork recovery. It was bundled in a one click root for Nexus Galaxy and Nexus S, the Root worked great but the recovery was the incorrect version. In any event I am now 100% functional. Thanks to all that helped out.

That is the problem with One click root/unroot. I know the simplicity is awesome but the end user is learning nothing. Doing it the ol' fashion way teaches the user how to use SDK, ADB, and other important simple things. I always say use the guide and do it yourself. Problems happen and instead of having to start a new thread you can trouble shoot it yourself. :good:

[Q] Moto G keeps on rebooting and updating

This morning my device was asking if it could do a firmware (?) update. I confirmed and of that moment it keeps on rebooting and trying to install an update. Whatever I try I can't get through the loop of updating/rebooting. I thought that maybe via the bootloader (which is working) I can install a new ROM or restore the stock firmware, but nothing is helping. When in the bootloader, the PC can find the device although it is connected (USB connected)
What I see when it's rebooting:
Install untrusted package?
this can not be undone
- no
- yes
- go back
CWM based recovery v6.0.4.5
E: invalid command argument
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
what ever I choose it goes to the next screen:
root access possibly lost. Fix?
this can not be undone
CWM based recovery v6.0.4.5

rebooting...
...and it starts all over again...it boots normally but after 10 sec it reboots again...
Has somebody any idea what the problem is and how it can be solved. As it is, I can't do anything with this mobile.
Thanks for your help!
Your post says 'PC can find the device' but I assume you mean 'PC cant find the device'.
So you have a custom recovery, are you also rooted? A custom recovery means an OTA update wont work. You need the stock recovery. I assume the custom recovery has caused the update to fail in such a way that it just keeps rebooting.
Can you manage to get into CWM via the bootloader (ie choose recovery from bootloader options using volume buttons), if so then wipe cache as this will remove the update file and you should be OK then.
If not then I think you need to get the phone seen by the PC when in the bootloader as otherwise you are stuck. I assume at some point it was seen by the PC for you to install CWM?
If running Windows do you still have the drivers installed (I run linux so Im unsure what you would need). I assume a 'fastboot devices' shows no device at all from what you say?
If you can get fastboot working you can then flash back the stock recovery and this may then allow the update to get past the point its failing at, it may still fail but then you can take it from there.
But first try getting to CWM via bootloader and wiping cache and then reboot.

Thank you for your quick reply.
Correct. I mean the PC can't find the device. However via Motorola Device Manager it can.
Yes the phone is rooted
I can't get into the CWM. If I choose recovery from the bootloader, it reboots normally...and the loop starts again...
will try the fastboot.
How are you trying to choose the recovery option from the bootloader?
You MUST select recovery option using the VOLUME UP button (volume down to move between options and volume UP to pick an option).
Do NOT use the power button.

This is very good advice, regarding selecting recovery from Bootloader....
it happened to me, for days I was puzzled, even after flashing stock recovery, 4.3 Recovery, I could not enter Recovery, until I actually read what was written in the BL screen.
Use Vol down to scroll to option, then use Vol up to select that option......(Recovery)
As you say, important not to use power button.....as would come naturally, and its what we use in Recovery......
but not in Bootloader!!!!!!
I panicked so much, but just be calm!!!

If you are rooted it will still fail to update. You are best off just clearing cache via recovery. Or delete zip file (if you get booted up) from /cache using a root file explorer.

motofastboot is a modified fastboot that allows larger images to be flashed. Normal fastboot will work fine for recovery AFAIK.

It's just that mfastboot is recommended by most devs, including Paul O'Brien and flibblesan, on Modaco, and loads of ppl here on XDA, for flashing FW to Motorola devices from BL, so I'd go with it, as it is widely available on either Modaco or XDA.
I don't think an OTA will fail due to root, just if you have modified or removed any system files, or are using a custom recovery.
I think you have to re-root after OTA is applied.
Rooting at 4.4 is easy with Chainfire's SuperSU CWM flasable zip, as explained by flibblesan here:

Easiest way to root would be to boot a custom recovery and flash Superuser through that.

superSU updates /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
This file is checked for a hash by the script (updater-script) that installs the update. As the file is different then the script bombs out with an error.
I know this because I am rooted and I by mistake attempted to install the OTA when I got the OTA notification. It failed.
There is a line in the updater-script like this:
apply_patch_check("/system/etc/install-recovery.sh", "b54528cf9ebba39534b768ad9108a4732e1eff4a", "99ffe4a3d0e6612e87cd3f6a62dad642094f0169") || abort("\"/system/etc/install-recovery.sh\" has unexpected contents.");
This is basically checking that file and seeing if it has the expected hash (one/both of those long numbers are the hash).
Interestingly the ORIGINAL install-recovery.sh file has these comments at the start of the file:
# File Name: install-recovery.sh
#
# General Description: This script is used to install software update for
# recovery mode after OTA update. This is modified
# from original Google code to split the code into
# a fixed program while putting the dynamic data
# into a config file.
After superSU is flashed it says stuff about superSU in it and the file is completely different hence why if you are rooted (at least if using superSU) then the update fails. Whether there are also other /system files also updated by rooting I dont know.
I dont know why superSU modifies the file, the file once modified kicks off a daemon called daemonsu. Why it has to be this file to start that deamon I dont know - but obviously there must be some reason its rooted in this way.

Thanks for that info......a bit complicated, but I get the gist of why OTA will fail, if rooted using the SuperSU Recovery zip.
I suppose, as you will be un-rooted in any case, unrooting prior to OTA is advisable, I can see that....
when I rooted originally, I used Superboot, as per Paul's Option 1
However, as per the OP, and my attempted OTA, with CWM Recovery intact, and the bootloop problem, etc, etc...and my panic, and not reading what is written in BL....
I never got to flash the OTA, and I just went ahead and learned how to use fastboot, and downloaded the American ROM, flashed it, and CWM Recovery, which works with 4.4 now, and flashed the root zip, as above, and some other zip to give back the H+ for HSPA+ logo, and now I'm happy.....
I'll never have another OTA to deal with now......
When stuff goes wrong we all learn a lot more than if it always went to plan, so its good we have learnt some new things today.
When 4.4.3 is out it'll all be easy now
Everything is working again! With AdbWinUsbApi.dll I could find my device and flash it. And with the help of this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 I was able to restore the firmware as it was...nearly...I had a Dutch (EU) version, now it's US...no big deal.

Man....you did what I did, and ended up with US 4.4.....
I had UK Tesco 4.3, with an OTA sitting in \cache, but tried to flash with CWM Recovery, messed up, panicked, but things are good now, latest CWM, rooted with SuperSU.
There is also a CWM zip to restore your H indicator for HSPA mobile speed, as US ROM only has 3G for this, and it also modifies the cell signal bars back to normal Android width.....

I had the same situation just now. Accidentally confirmed the OTA update prompt, then the phone goes bootloop. After fiddling here and there, turns out the solution was simple. Reboot to bootloader, connect usb to PC, then wipe the cache using fastboot (fastboot erase cache). It will remove the OTA update zip file and stops the bootloop. Now I need to disable OTA update prompt.
just got the same problem!
solution that worked with me: booted in recovery, connected to pc, [left shift]+[right klick] on folder that contains mfastboot.exe, open prompt, type "mfastboot erase cache". done!
system update is now stopped

This morning my device was asking if it could do a firmware (?) update. I confirmed and of that moment it keeps on rebooting and trying to install an update. Whatever I try I can't get through the loop of updating/rebooting. I thought that maybe via the bootloader (which is working) I can install a new ROM or restore the stock firmware, but nothing is helping. When in the bootloader, the PC can find the device although it is connected (USB connected)
What I see when it's rebooting:
Install untrusted package?
this can not be undone
- no
- yes
- go back
CWM based recovery v6.0.4.5
E: invalid command argument
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
what ever I choose it goes to the next screen:
root access possibly lost. Fix?
this can not be undone
CWM based recovery v6.0.4.5
E: invalid command argument
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
e: failed to verify whole-file signature
e:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
rebooting...
...and it starts all over again...it boots normally but after 10 sec it reboots again...
Has somebody any idea what the problem is and how it can be solved. As it is, I can't do anything with this mobile.
Thanks for your help!

black screen after motorola logo

This is very good advice, regarding selecting recovery from Bootloader....
it happened to me, for days I was puzzled, even after flashing stock recovery, 4.3 Recovery, I could not enter Recovery, until I actually read what was written in the BL screen.
Use Vol down to scroll to option, then use Vol up to select that option......(Recovery)
As you say, important not to use power button.....as would come naturally, and its what we use in Recovery......
but not in Bootloader!!!!!!
I panicked so much, but just be calm!!!

HKC P776A Android Tablet Stuck in some sort of CWM/TWRP Boot Loop

Ok I have posted a thread on this before but there was nothing useful on it so I am re-posting.
So I have a HKC P776A android tablet (NOT HTC, IT IS HKC) I got it rooted like three years ago and went to install a update for Supersu and I pressed the CWM/TWRP update mode, now my phone is in a boot loop maybe a CWM/TWRP but !!! I CANNOT ACCESS ANY TYPE OF RECOVERY MENU NOR THE OS!!! so please don't tell me to go into recovery mode, HBoot mode, or connect it to my PC I have already tried and it doesn't work and I don't have CWM/TWRP installed. When I try to put it in HBoot it comes up saying
Recovery System v4.1
Finding Update Package...
Opening Update Package...
Verifying Update Package...
Installing Package...
Then it reboot and nothing happens I dont even know what it is trying to install maybe the CWM but I don't know exactly. I have finally found a stock ROM Update package and I put it on the SDcard (EXTERNAL STORAGE) but it didn't install. The update package is a .img file so maybe that is the issue but its the only file for it I have found so...
Also I am wondering if I could get a CWM .img file and put it on the SDcard (EXTERNAL STORAGE) it would install the CWM and it would work but thats just a theory so if you know what version of CWM my tablet uses please let me know or post a link.
