i seem to have fubar'ed my nexus s (uk version) i updated to ics, didnt like it so tried to restore to a backup i made earlier today...
at the moment when i turn on my phone it shows
fastboot mode- No Boot or Recovery img
lock state - unlocked
I can enter recovery. but cannot restore.
tried wiping cache,dalvik etc.
When hitting restore it returns with:
... system.img not found. skipping restore of /system/
also does the same with
data.img
cache.img
sd-ext.img
i have no idea what to do... if you could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Try flashing a rom. U can mount SD card within recovery.

yeah tried flashing ...
gets stuck on google screen
Do you have a One Click return to stock available for your model? It wouldn't hurt to start fresh. I did that on my NS4G last week. Does your PC recognize the phone?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
looking into the unbrickable mod atm... my phone seems to have no .img files.
tried restoring to stock and still the same issue... it says it cant find .img so skips them then when i try to re boot it sticks on the google screen
After trying to apply from zip (cm7, that i have used numerous times before)
i get this ---
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="crespo" ll getprop("ro.build.Product") == "crespo" ll getprop("ro.product.board") == "crespo"
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.0.3-NS-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
i havent the faintest idea what to do...
Tried re-flashing CWM recovery?
yup tried re flash,
i think i need to replace the .img files... i just dont know how
it says that
system.img not found
data.img not found
cache.img not found
sd-ext.img not found.
it skips the restore of these say restore complete. yet there is obviously nothing to restore.
there must be a way of fixing this???
Do you have the latest version of CWM flashed? (5.0.2.0)
yeah re installed/reflashed (5.0.2.0)
it seems to be working

Facepalm

Such a noob
I have had a similar problem before, and even advised on that exact thing.
lesson learned.
KEEP RECOVERY.IMG UP TO DATE
Thank you for pointing out the obvious.
I'm such a ****
No problem flex59, best way to learn is the long and hard way . I had a similar status 7 problem on my move up to ICS. Figured the latest recovery will save me wasted hours down the track eventually, and hopefully someone elses.
To downgrade from ICS, you need to flash the full GB 2.3.6 ROM first...
I downgraded from OTA ICS 4.0.3 due to battery, Wifi & lag issues as well. A NANDroid backup does NOT contain the bootloader and radio AFAIK. Here's what I did.
Find the appropriate FULL ROM here and download and copy to your SD card.
Download this flashable Superuser here and copy to your SD card.
Make sure you are familiar with and set up for fastboot and have the latest CWM recovery img file. You will have to reinstall CWM. These instructions are assuming that CWM recovery is already installed on your device.
1. Make sure the full ROM and SU zip are on the root your SD card.
2. I did a full wipe of data, cache, dalvik.
3. Go into CWM recovery and flash the full ROM. Now flash the SU zip.
4. At this point, the full ROM flashed GB2.3.6, stock recovery, bootloader and radio back. But you should be rooted due to step 3.
5. Boot into Android. I installed ES File Explorer from the market. In ES File Explorer settings, select both root settings “Root Explorer” and “Mount File System” to navigate and modify root files. Allow permissions in SuperUser.
6. Navigate to /system/etc and rename (tap&hold on file) install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak (this file reinstalls the stock recovery at every boot)
7. Using fastboot on your computer, flash CWM recovery again.
8. NOW using CWM, restore your GB 2.3.6 NANDroid backup.
Like nothing ever changed.

You may have the wrong version of CWM recovery installed. You need Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c. If you are trying to flash thru Rom manager it may have had you update to v4.0.0.4 which is not compatible with the external sdcard. If this is the case, re-install the correct recovery version, and then redo your backup so that it is on the external sdcard where it can be safe if you need to wipe/factory reset. You can use Rom manger just to reboot into recovery, or df Quick Boot from the market and use that instead.
Good luck!

Rom manager says it is 4.0.0.4 but when in recovery is say CWM recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm or Tiamat v3.2.0.0 R4c ( I don't remember exectly) and the error is the same.
Also, I tried reflash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.zip from the SD card and get an error.
I really don't have a clue of what to do.
Any help would be welcome.

The problem is that you can't flash anything from the external sdcard with v4.0.0.4. In rom manager, see if you can find"all clockwork recoveries" and find 3.2.0.0. If not, find 3.0.2.8 or 3.0.2.5 and flash one of them, preferably the latest of those I have listed. I think those will at least recognize your sdcard. If you can't do that, you will need to reflash the correct recovery the same way you did when you rooted. Remember, never flash a zip file through adb.
Good luck!
I tried to flash recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img via adb.
I could flash boot sector. Then I reboot into recovery and try to apply zip from card with file update_US-Xoom-WiFi-3.2-HTJ85B-from-HMJ37_stachre_solarnz-boot-img_v05.zip, but there is a NO at the end of the name of the file and I can't go on.
Trying to rename as update.zip and run apply zip from card results in same error:
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(bad)
what should I do?
Thank you
possible bad download... download again... also, don't think this would be an update... leave it as originally named, just choose the option to choose which zip file to install from the sd card

It sounds like you are flashing recovery ok, but you keep overwriting it with the stock recovery.
Here is some important information that should help a lot with making your new recovery "stick"and this was taken from the Idiot's guide to flashing...in the Development section, and originally written by publicanimal:
4. Install recovery image (CWM)
Download the recovery image file and save it to your computer
Boot into flash mode with 'adb reboot bootloader'
Install your downloaded recovery image
C:\Documents and Settings\Anders> fastboot flash recovery recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img
Restart the device with 'fastboot reboot'. Timing is essential here, so be alert when the device restarts, or you will have to redo this section
Enter CWM with the following procedure
Once the Motorola logotype is shown, start counting to 3. At 3, press the Volume Down button. This should result in the text 'Android Recovery' in the top left corner. If it does not work, experiment with the timing ...
When 'Android Recovery' is shown press the Volume Up button. This should invoke the CWM recovery menu. If that works, then congratulations for reaching this far .
Here is a potential pitfall. If you are unable to enter CWM *before* the device boots into Honeycomb, then the newly installed recovery image will be overwritten by the system default recovery. If that happens, or if you see "starting fastboot protocol " your timing wasn't right and you need to reflash the recovery image and try it again.
See original post,below for more information.

Hi, i received HTC sense 3.0 and android 2.3.5 update. I tried to update it but it stuck on boot screen. Restarting didn't help. So I wiped all the data but later realised I no longer have clockworkmod installed.
I go to hboot and try to put recovery on sdcard through adb, but adb cant find my device.
Is there anything I can do? My phone is pretty messed up now, and I don't know what to do RUU also doesn't work, because my phone can't be found.
// #1 OK I managed to install clockworkmod through the Android Flasher. I've downloaded BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid v2.1.zip but I cant install it through the clockworkmod. It says:
"E:Error in /sdcard/BeatMod BlissSense Hybrid v2.1.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted."
// #2 sorry to bother.. I disabled the verification check in clockworkmod, installed su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and then custom ROM.. everything now works fine. Of course with the help of tutorials on xda and great people over here.
This was the worst 4 hours in my live as I thought my phone is bricked.

You don't appear alone with problem, so thanks for re-editing the thread post to provide updates, if you have the time and could try to add any URLs and links to the files that you used to resolve your issues, then that would be great!
I've already several threads where it appears the update has put others in the same position, so your update could prove to be a useful resource assisting the recovery of others!
Cheers.

Install ClockworkMod:
What you need to do is get the phone to fastboot and connect it to the PC via USB.
Launch and update Android Flasher. Choose your phone and browse for recovery image (recovery.img that you have unzipped)
Click finish and wait. Clockworkmod should by installed.
Get files on the phone:
Go to recovery
Mounts and storage menu
Mount USB storage
Then copy files (custom ROM you want to install and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) from PC to SD card
Install Root:
Go to recovery
Install zip from SD card
Toogle signature verification (disable it)
Choose zip from card and install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Choose zip from card and install custom ROM
Optional steps? (right after installing clockworkmod)
Go to recovery
Wipe data
Go to advanced

Hey yes you have to download the Gapps zip, place it on the sd-card and then flash it in recovery.
So:
1) Donwnload http://jellybean.tom.gascoigne.me/gapps-jb.2.zip
2) Push the on your sd-card
3) Boot into the recovery
4) Flash zip from sd-card like you chose the rom.zip
5) Reboot
The mic is not working on this Build, but we except a new Version with working Mic for today.

Thank you body trying the latest version of the ROM now. I have a small question you said I should flash rom with Gapps to install google apps on the jellybean ROM. For me that doesn't make sense..I mean how the phone will distinguish between gapps and the jellybean ROM itself. Isn't it possible when I flash gapps it overwrites the jellybean ROM itself and I lost the ROM and the phone will not be working?
Again Thank you so much for your help

Nope because the rom will be extracted to the /system partition on your phone. The gapps.zip also but it will not override anything. It will only copy some apps(.apk) to the /system/app .
Thrust me
PC Example: You copy 2 different files to one folder if the files has different names you can copy without overwriting anything

Hello,
I am trying to update my H60-L12 from 6.1.1 to 6.1.16 (and then beyond) using OTA.
I have my phone rooted and with custom recovery. I know I have to unroot and restore stock recovery to get the OTA updates. Yesterday I learnt also that to get 6.1.16 I have to use TAPVPN to connect to the internet via Singapore (thanks to @bcostea for the hint).
Now I find that my phone downloads the update and when it tries to install there is an error in the process at the 6%.
I learnt that the update process logs its progress in the file /splash2/recovery_log
There I find this:
Code:
UI percent:5%.

It seems that my com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar is not the one expected by the process.
That makes some sense, as after I installed the full stock rom, I was not able to apply the pa_gapps (some error related to not being possible to install them in a system that did not had a previous version installed to avoid conflicts) (more details on this are available if anybody has a hint or is willing to trobuleshoot it).
Thing is that I applied open_gapps, which are working just fine, but seem to have a different com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar version.
Till 6.1.1, I was able to replace the com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar file in my phone with one from the system.img of the Stock ROM, and then the update was working.
With 6.1.1 I have not been able to find the right file (one with a SHA-1 hash of 7b4afc644b4d388fe159120f434f769a635a8c5e, seems to be necessary).
I have 3 files with hashes:
6189c99c76c84310f35b967e768440088e140f78
654d36de1c8e9e84979a67e897f36dc17a6f7565
bb6bfd30b3d6d03ecf9531e37bcdb0b5a8123e11
They come from stock, from pa_gapps and from open_gapps, but none of them work.
I put them in the \system\framework folder, but the update still fails with the same error.
Can anyone give me a hint? I am going to try by deleting the file, as I have seen that in the log there is one that is not found and the process does not complain that much.
Maybe someone has the right file in this phone and can send it to me. That would be great!!
Thanks in advance!
Well, it seems I managed to make it work.
Instructions below are without warranty. You know that. It's your phone, if you break it, it's your fault. Not mine. You acknowledge that.
Here is how I did it (if you don't know how to execute any of the steps, just google. Instructions have been provided a million times on how to boot in recovery, how to flash an image or how to do a full backup from custom recovery...):
1. I downloaded the full image of the release I had in my phone (I.e. 6.1.1)
2. Using Huawey Upgrade Extractor I extracted system.img and recovery.img
3. I restarted into custom recovery (TWRP) and took a full backup of my phone to the SD. I then removed the SD.
4. I restarted in fastboot mode and using fastboot.exe I flashed recovery.img and system.img (in my case that did not remove anything from my phone, but as I said before, I took a backup beforehand, just in case).
5. I rebooted the phone. Everything was working just fine.
6. I used TAPVPN app to connect through Singapore, so I could get the update to 6.1.16.
7. The update downloaded and installed as expected.
8. Then I used again TAPVPN to get 6.2.1.
9. Same result: download and installation as expected.
10. Then I rooted again and installed custom recovery by using Honor Multi-Tool.
I hope this helps.
Hello guys,
Today I wanted to update my Honor 8 (FDR-L09) because it was showing me, that there is a new update ready to install (FRD-L09C432B405) and I was on a very old firmware (something from mid 2017). So it was time for me to update.
I downloaded the latest update (FRD-L09C432B405) and tried to wipe the cache, dalvik, and Data, but for some reason it "couldn't mount /data" and the wipe failed.
After an advanced wipe it worked and I tried to flash the stock image (the update which was shown to me (FRD-L09C432B405) with TWRP (3.1.1.1.)).
Now my hassle starts:
1. The Rom couldn't get flashed because of "Error: 7" --> I fixed it with the common "Error 7 fix --> editing the update-script and removing the assert line. (And yes, I'm 100% sure that it was the right ROM.
2. Now TWRP seemingly starts to flash the rom but inbetween the lines there is "mountencrypt: failed to mount /data: no such file or directory and it ends with "unknown command [[]" and it takes just two seconds, so the flash obviously isn't succsessfull.
I tried the "failed to mount /data" fix, where I change the data system to ext3 and then back to f2fs and change it back, but it won't work.
In my frustration I did another pretty bad thing and made another advanced wipe and wiped the system too, so now I don't have an OS on my system.
Maybe it's also important to note that there was a window showing up for a very short amount of time, with something like "encryption/encrypted" showed up.
What should I do now? Is there a way to fix the "/data couldn't be mounted" problem? Or am I missing a vital step in flashing the stock rom?
Thanks for your kind help!
You can not flash an update with twrp unless you use hurupdater. You essentially bricked your phone. Look for hurupdater here on xda and follow the instructions and you'll be fine
