Custom ROM Issue? - General Questions and Answers

Okay I'll summarise this as best as I can, I'm new to Android but not to computers and Linux. I got a china 7" Telechips 8901 Tablet 2.1 and I decided to install the custom Rom on Team Telechips website, I know I should have backed up The Stock ROM but I didn't, After installing the Rom it turned out to be Cyanogenmod and everything was fine except that the touch screen was opposite. So I thought what the hell I might as well try the second ROM on the team telechips website which was HSG-X5A one and now the Tablet doesn't start up anymore, It just shows the Logo and goes blank, I had Clockworkmod in there but I can't boot into the the recovery console, Nothing happens when hold those two buttons. So I tried using ADB from windows to boot into it but nothing happens. I can back up the Stock ROM from somebody else's Tablet but if since can't enter the recovery how can I install it. When I tried to adb push anything into nand, it says can not copy, read-only.
Help me please

I feel you may have bricked your device because you installed roms on top of roms. Did you wipe anything before installing these custom roms?

Welcome to forums
Moved to proper section, please read the forum rules before posting.

Yeah I kinda guessed that. No I did not wipe anything before the update. Is there anyway out of this? I can't seem to access the nand and sdcard through adb.

Okay I was able to use adb to wipe everything. What to do next?
Now if I do anything all I keep getting is exec 'system/bin/sh' failed no such file or directory (2)

Did you run a wipe through recovery and did not just delete files through adb?
Sounds like it is looking for a system file that got deleted. Was this after you tried reinstalling the rom?

No I don't have access to recovery. I ran the wipe all through adb wipe all. Now even after I wiped everything I still don't have access to recovery. How do I now install the system file? All I can use is adb and I have the zip file for the rom.

Also it seems that the /system folder is all I have access to via adb after remount. Is there anything or any file(s) I can push in there as to be able to then enter recovery and install the rom?

whats really going on?
hello, i'm new here and know im not suppose to be posting this here but but i need to post something 10x before i can post where i really want to. i really want to be able to post in the epic 4g asc ics thread.. really good rom no problems for me.the only thing missing is the theme from 3.5. im on 4.0 and having trouble pushing the apk's. i have a question,should i continue to figure out how to push or just wait for an update?

I'm so proud of myself right now, I was able to do this using the FWDN tool. It's the best, Once you know how to use it, there is really nothing it can't do. I learned how to use it with this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q1c88qu7JI.
Best of luck to whoever has this problem as well now or in the future.

ROM Manager-Backup Help..

I perma rooted my shift here, and installed ROM Manager. I wanted to backup my current stock rom+root just incase I f#*k something up, under flash recovery image i selected htc evo (cdma) (evo shift is not listed) it says successful but when i click backup current rom, it turns off and is stuck on htc screen...any suggestion??
by the way, i have busybox v1.17.1, updated via busybox app from market.
I don't think RM is supported on the shift yet...
OMG, Just read what you wrote. Um, you installed an evo recovery on your shift? That's not good.
ROM manager, and more importantly ClockworkMod are not yet supported on our device...
There are some versions that "work" -- I say that because they have issues, but have some functionality.
You need to flash your recovery manually with the one from the perma-root thread, using those steps.

If you can boot to recovery I'd recommend running the stock ruu from your computer...that should fix the problem but know it will wipe all data and return you to out of the box stock...you can find it in the development section in the perm root/recovery/stock ruu thread (or something like that not sure exactly what the thread is called)
Edit: ha sorry thats what its called on the android central forum...you can find it still in the development section as speedy ruu

Lol yeaa I have the ruu saved on my pc, question: after I install stock rom can I restore my sys data/apps (minus clockwork) without having problems? (Using titanium backup)
Also I dunno if anyone else is having problems with mobile data but once in a while I have to reboot to get 3g back.

i think you would probably have to root again since not sure you would be able to even access sys data/app without root but not 100% about that and i dont imagine it causing any trouble as long as you get rid of clockwork but again im really not sure at all so i dont wanna say with any certainty.....also i havent had any problems with mobile data so far

[Q] Lost CWM and Root

I need some help either getting root restored or getting CWM back. I rooted my G2X using the SuperOneClick method, did a nandroid backup of the original ROM, and then installed a CM7.1 nightly. After doing so, I found out that I no longer have root (or that the su binaries are corrupt) and there are a ton of issues with the currently CM7.1 nightly ROMs. I really just want to get back to the stock ROM that I have a nandroid of. When I do actually get to the Android Recovery screen, it sits at "Formatting MISC:..." and I can't select any other options (not sure what that's all about). I have tried rooting again, but I get errors saying things like "chmod: no such tool".
Does anyone know another way to get into CWM, know how to restore root, or have an alternative to restore a nandroid backup?
I had the same problem when updating from virtuous vision (froyo) to virtuous visioin unity. 2hat solved the issue for me was uninstalling SU and reinstalling it from the market.
Not shure if this'll solve it for you though.

Yup, nvflash CWM is your best bet at this point. Disregard the titanium suggestion.
Same exact thing happened to me. ROM Manager says I have CWM 3.0.2.7 current, but I can't reboot into recovery, restore any backups, fix permissions, etc. I noticed it when I tried to re-flash CM7 nightly #37 because my wifi was stuck at "obtaining IP address" and I was getting 3 or 4 force close notifications at startup. Installed root check and it said "root access is not properly configured or was not granted. SU binary not found in the system declared PATH."
Going to try nvflash CWM and go from there. Hoping to get this beast running proper!

People just need to stop tinkering with their phone's software if they don't know what they're doing. They screw something up and come crying back here for help. Now, I know we were all 'noobs' at one point... But at least put the effort into reading up on details and be at least 90% certain you know what to do, before you eff anything up. Seriously guys. We can help, but you shouldn't be doing this sort of stuff if you aren't up for it yet!
I know all of us, the more seasoned geeks, have had multiple android devices so we know our way around. And we were in the same boat as you once too... Learning the basics and all that. But don't be flashing roms and/or kernels if you don't know what adb is. #justsaying.
Now, for your problem. I'm not even sure if you used NVFlash to flash a recovery. And if your getting weird errors while booting into recovery, flash it again. Once in recovery all you have to do is restore your back up, simple as that. There's no need to flash other roms. Now, if you used ROM Manager to flash your recovery... Then your nandroid is probably stored on your internal SD. And if you have an external SD recovery then you can't get at it. Maybe I missed something but I'm not sure if that's even the problem. But there is a stock/rooted nandroid here in the dev section, copy that to the proper location on your external SD and proceed to restore that.
Try that first before you flash anything, It seems most logical to me at least
I found these instructions on using nvflash to reflash CWM recovery (link below). It worked like a charm for me- but I had a backup from just after I rooted. After restoring it to original (rooted), I wiped and reflashed the latest CM7 nightly #61 with gapps. You can probably just flash the latest nightly instead of going back to original like I did.

Help, soft bricked my phone

I was trying to install this (knowmydroid [D0T] com/blog/enable-hw-acceleration-on-stock-cm7-browser) (Enabling H/W acceleration on my browser). I manually copied to the 2 files into system/lib and (studiply) overwrite the files without backing them up first. Now my phone doesn't boot past the HTC boot screen. I can still access the recovery menu. I just don't know what to do without ****ing it up anymore then I have.
I'm running CM7 on my HTC Aria if that is relevant information.
Easiest way to get around this is just to flash back to stock and start over.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881634
That's the thread you need to start fresh with your phone. I realize the download link for the firmware is a megaupload link and no longer work. My advice would be to ask in the thread or to PM the OP to ask about a mirror for it.

[How to] Root and Flash custom roms

This thread is just to direct all the noobs into the right direction, related to root and flash new roms in the Inspire 4G.
[*]Rooting and reverting to stock
Due to the retirement of the Hack Kit, rooting methods have been reduced to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
or if you are skilled in using adb and fastboot commands:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=6
If you are still stuck and want to revert your phone back to out of the box, then use Marsdta's Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396229
or Gene Poole's Tool (that will revert also S-OFF):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507
[*]Flashing a Custom Rom
To flash a custom rom you need to be rooted and S-OFF (if u used the Hack Kit) or have and unlocked bootloader using HTCDEV tool (wich I don't suggest)
Once u are S-OFF and have CWM or some other custom recovery installed (I personally prefer 4ext) you have to follow these steps (read the dev's thread about particularities. This is just a general guide on how to do it):
Download the custom rom .zip file and put it in your sdcard. Make sure that u check md5sum first just to avoid bootloops.
Reboot phone in recovery. There are many ways to do that, the first can be using Rom Manager (I don't suggest using it for anything else but that) and choosing reboot in recovery option. The second way is to boot in bootloader (press power down and reboot choosing hboot) or just turn phone off and power it up pressing power and volume down. And the last is to use adb commands. Plug the phone as charge only with usb debugging on, open a cmd as admin or terminal as root in your PC and then type adb reboot recovery.
Once in recovery, you need to do a full wipe (wipe data / factory reset and wipe cache + dalvik cache). You can also format some other partitions such as data and system, but the full wipe will work.
When full wipe is finished, go to flash zip from sdcard option, choose zip file and then flash that file.
Reboot the phone once it has finished flashing and wait for the device to fully reboot. The first boot will take a while (probably longer than usual) so don't get scared.
If you flashed a CM based rom, you need to flash google apps separately as well, so find the gapps file corresponding to your rom and flash it in the same manner as above described.
Trouble Shooting
Bootloops: If your phone repeats over and over the bootanimation, don't panic, you are not bricked. Something must have gotten wrong but you can reboot in recovery and re flash the rom as previously described. If bootloop is still there, then try downloading the zip again or choose a diffrent rom.
Factory Reset: If you factory reset the phone and you are not stock, then the phone won't have a rom...you will get stuck in the splash screen (white screen with the green HTC). Just do as described above, get a rom to the sdcard and then flash it. You are not bricked, you are just stuck
Well, this was just to try to point you in the right direction. If you think that I missed something, feel free to tell me and will add it to the OP.....Salud! :good:

To help your thread going however 'slightly' off topic it may be, but since you did mention adb, I finally managed to get apk multi tool and sdk manager installed, and with a slight hiccup getting the adb to recognize my device (I started all of this last night), I believe I have everything I need?
Now I need to learn what I can do with those.

hahaha...ummmm you shouldn't have problems. Just install SDK and apk multi tool in the SDK>tools folder or somewhere else. Then from command prompt you should be able to run the commands for the apk multi tool. I use the apktool and I have no problem at all. The main thing is to have adb installed...but there's no need to have the phone plugged to use the apk tool.
In the case of your device, make sure that u have the HTC drivers installed, if you have HTC Sync, you should have them...to try that just plug the phone as charge only, make sure that usb debugging is on and then open a cmd as admin and type adb devices...you should see your HTCserialnumber....
I didn't know I didn't need to have the cell plugged in, nice to know.
I had done all of that and it was working.... IT WAS WORKING , I decided to move a few folders around, something got messed up, tried placing them where they were, still no go, it's not recognizing my device anymore.
Don't worry, I'll figure it out eventually, but the problem is my head is going to start hurting any minute now. I'll be back shortly to ask you something you mentioned and I've read which I simply don't get - well, maybe not as shortly as I would like.
Edit: whenever I run the adb devices command it has to be done withing the folder where the adb.exe is located, right?
2nd edit: found it and it's working.
To run the adb devices command, which means going to that specific folder, would be seperate from using the apk tool? Would have moving the folders around somehow messed up the way apk tool would work? Im not even sure if im asking the right question
3rd edit: when you said to install the apk tool and sdk in the same folder, well, I already installed both of them to the default location.... what do you mean by that? Should I move them if they are not there? And if I may ask why?

May have just bricked my phone

So I've been using the stock rom but I'm unlocked and rooted. I was thinking of waiting it out for the official jelly bean release but I know how slow HTC is so I decided to try out CM10 today.
I downloaded the newest CM10 mod (nightlies) and flashed it. Upon rebooting I ended up in an endless loop at the boot image. I thought, 'hmm, perhaps not so bad. Maybe I need to look up trying out a new kernel'. I never got around to this and upon doing some other idiotic things (clearing all data, reformatting the SD card), I am realizing I'm stuck. I can't reinstall anything because there's nothing on the SD card. I also can't mount because there seems to be a problem with Team Win's Recovery (2.1.7) in that I get this error: unable to mount /sdcard
Then it says "unable to open ums lunfile..."
So, I'm stuck with an empty SD and seemingly no way to mount. I am able to boot into recovery but I don't know what to do from that point.
Can anyone think of a way to get this phone back on its feet?
And once that is done, is there a clear cut tutorial on how to correctly install CM10?
I had the same problem. You have to extract the boot image from the CM10 zip, and flash that through the SDK.

But didn't I ruin that possibility by formatting the SD? I can't seem to find anything on the SD
I know I don't need to say this, but you need to read a lot through the forum before doing anything to your phone. Also, read the OP pages and first/last 20 pages of any thread. The OP or many posts would have mentioned you need to flash boot.img separate if your hboot is .13 or higher. Or, you can get Flash Image GUI from Market. I would also get a newer TWRP. Recommend 2.2.2.0. There are threads on TWRP/Flash Image GUI.
Some things to look into and read up on before trying:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
If that works, maybe push "adb" a rom zip to card
And maybe run an ruu if you get sdcard fixed
As soon as possible get and keep rom and sdcard backups on pc as well as rom bu's on phone.
There may also be a stock sdcard card back up floating around or maybe someone has one to post. There was a thread with one but link is dead. Had the basic stuff the phone came with.
There are some programs that can retrieve data from formatted/wiped drives. May be of some help.
Not sure what else to suggest--you are not lost and someone smarter than me will get you working--good luck--
I have had my sd card corrupt before. There is a thread that talks about how you can re flash the original HTC recovery through fast boot. Then do a factory reset through the bootloader and it will reformat your sd card through a proprietary HTC process. There is a thread about this somewhere. I think you can find the original recovery on MoDaCo (Google it) and somewhere in his posts on rooting. Let me know if you can't find the threads on this.

Ah, thank you guys so much. I figured it out using this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
glad you got it--that was my first link if you used it--
I did! Thanked your post.
I now have a working version of CM10 with a few bugs which I will have to look into.
They are: Device doesn't recognize the SD card. Apps like Dropbox, the Camera, etc. aren't working because they need to save to the SD. I'm guessing that the file structure is just a little off on the device but I'm having trouble with this because I also can't seem to mount my device properly (I can still push things via ADB)

You best off running a RUU and then reset in bootloader if its still not working.

I'm new to this whole thing so I'm not exactly sure what that means
I am not really up on them, you can google/search. RUU=Rom Upgrade Utility. But, they are like the latest OS from your carrier with radio and everything. You need to relock bootloader and "maybe" flash stock recovery prior to running them. They do not flash thru recovery, you just run the ruu while phone is connected to pc and phone is booted into OS. There is a thread in Dev Section on different ruu downloads. Need to make sure you get correct one. Not sure that will repopulate your sdcard. Assume it is still empty? I was trying to pair down a stock sdcard backup I made before/right after rooting and remove my personal stuff. If you are still having issues, maybe I can upload to dropbox and post. May take a few days--very busy. Plenty of posts on ruu's throughout forum also--

rugmankc has it right and is the only sure thing to get you SD back.
Okay, just to clarify before trying this out. This will undo everything I just did so that I'll be back on stock? I'll have to unlock and root it and install the CM10 rom again?
yes--backup whatever you can first, if anything

Just to add to this, there is no need to root if you going to flash a rom after flashing TWRP.
