Hey guys. I flahshed a new rom on my tab today, coby kyros 7022. the rom was new and fairly untested. when i installed it via FWDN i was supposed to NAND-somethin twice in order to get recovery. i was not told this, so i went along to install cwm and root it and then she bott down, and now thew touchscreeen doesnt work at all. no matter how many times i resotre it from backups. im so lost atm, i have no idea how to do this. i need to find a ik.rom stock and a way to return back to absolute normal or something.
Any help would be sooooo veryyyy appreciated!
Thanks a million,

hey everybody,
first of all, you need to know that im a noob.
today i tried installing another rom on my galaxy s2. everything went fine until i tried to find the rom on clockworksmod to get it installed. it was not there.
i placed the rom on my external sd card in stead of my internal storage. when i found out i tried restoring to a backup i had made. this failed as well. it said that android_secure.img was not found.
now when i try to boot up it stays on the galaxy s2 screen with the yellow triangle.
so basically all i can do know (to my knowledge) is boot clockwork or enter the downloading mode.
i think that there are three things i can do:
1. somehow install the miui rom from my sd card.
2. somehow get the rom onto my internal storage.
3. somehow fix the backup so i can boot my old rom(place android_secure.img in the right directory).
at this point i would prefer the third option.
do you guys have any idea on how to do any of these three options, preferably the third?

I'm a noob as well, but if you can get it into download mode, shouldn't you be able to install something like lite'ning rom into it through Odin?
Edit: now that I think about it you should also be able to flash the stock ROM into it, though I've never done that.
seems like it might work. i really don't want to completely brick my phone though, so im going to wait to see if there is another solution. thanks a lot though, that is at least something i can try. anyone got experience with this or knows another solution?
how might i do that? and where can i find the stock ROM?
I'm guessing here somewhere: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
never mind that, i tried flashing lite'ning using odin and it worked!
i now have acces to my internal storage again, so now i can continue flashing miui.
you, my friend, are a lifesaver!
thanks for the quick responses.

Hi ppl hope every1 is good. Im all new to this. I have a samsung galaxy s1 on orange (uk). i have heard about rooting and flashing but never done it before it. i have rooted this phone. i just installed a new kernel (speedmod kernel) which is meant to allow me to by pass the recovery 3e. i go into the rom manager to install my rom either from the sd card or from there list. it takes me to a recovery page and starts but because its in the android recovery page 3e it wont let me. not sure what ive done wrong please help as im at the stage to pull my hair out lol
thanks in advance Dan
Ok guys, almost first post here, now that its in the right spot. My galaxy tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113TS is having an issue that I can't seem to find on any site including this one.
Little background, this problem first started several months ago. My wife ran the battery completely dead on the tab, we didn't have a "samsung" charger and couldn't get it to charge up. Bought new charger, got it charged, and ever since then, the screen will work for anywhere from 15-20 seconds to 3 or 4 minutes, then just stops working. Hitting the power button will turn the screen off, hitting it again brings up the lock screen, but the screen will still not recognize any touches. The side buttons still work, just not the touch screen.
Letting the tab sit for a couple hours is the ONLY thing that gets the touch screen working again. But it will only work for a minute or two again before it stops working... again... I tried a soft reset several times to no avail. Kind of forgot about the tab, left it for a few months. Picked it up yesterday after charging it and still no different than a couple months ago. I tried the factory wipe/reset several times using the power and volume buttons and it made no difference. Usually the screen won't stay responsive long enough to make it through the whole set up process.
I'm pretty new to digging into these things. I'm not afraid to give it a shot, since the thing is useless in its current state. But most of the lingo and abbreviations are new to me. If anyone can point me towards a solution, I'd be VERY grateful! I'll do my best to answer any questions to help as well.
PS, we bought it used off ebay, so no warranty. It worked fine for almost a year before this started.
Bump for a little help? Thanks in advance! :good:
Edit: Should also mention that it's 100% unmodified/stock. I haven't rooted it or been inside it or anything. Very open to trying about anything since like I mentioned, it's useless to me as it sits currently.
You can't do much with the screen the way it is, your best bet is to root and flash a custom rom.
Look in development for a root method and install a custom rom using Odin. Check out You tube for videos on the matter you should find several.

For me th einstalled custom CM11 rom nighlty boots but seems to drop all kinds of android processes. Ik keeps showing all kinds of zip files in the download area. Installed apps can be deeted but are back after reboot. Can't find sd-ext.
Installing stock of custom rom with Odin goes ok for a while but fails all te time.
Is there a low level kind of remedy?
Thanks!
Can you get into recovery?
Use any previous nandroid.
You do have nandroid b/u's ?

Yeah, I can boot into recovery where it gives me the options to install from SD card etc. And I have to use the power and volume buttons to navigate the options. Thats how I tried the factory reset the first time, to no avail.
I don't have any other backups or anything to try. Where would I go about finding something to use?
Your only option is to reflash your rom or the stock firmware in order to fix the issue.
Use Google to search for the stock firmware, you will have to root again and install CWM.

Is there an easy to follow how-to for rooting it somewhere? Ideally a way that doesn't involve using the touch screen, since mine is obviously on the fritz.
I'm assuming to reflash the stock files, I'll need to (figure out what files) save them to the SD card then select the restore from SD card option in the recovery menu?
I'm a noob to this stuff, so not familiar at all with the abbreviations and what not. (What is CWM?) But I'm fairly competent if things are broken down to the basic steps and what not.
Well looks like I'm answering my own questions a little bit, but it looks like I can download the VRoot program onto my computer, along with the Samsung USB drivers, and use that program to root the tablet..... correct?
Then download Odin to flash the files?
Not familiar with Vroot, need to look it up.
The first thing you need to do is flash the stock Samsung firmware in Odin (using download mode ) . Afterwards you run your tablet for a while, 2 to 3 hours and make sure it's OK (touch screen wise) , then you can root and flash roms.
Pp.
So I don't need to root it to flash in the firmware, just if I were to flash a rom? Sounds simple enough.
Next (noob) question. Does the firmware have to match with the version of android running on the tablet? I'm not sure what version is on it, I'll have to look after work. Or can I just get the latest firmware update for my model and use that? Looks like for my model there's a version 4.2.2 that says Canada. That seems to be the newest one out there. Is that what I'll want to use?
Follow this video and you should have success. They have an apparent source for the firmware, otherwise you have to download from Samsung and that can take days.

After watching video there are further steps to fully wipe and factory restore , you don't have to go this far unless you want to make tab new like out of the box.

Over the weekend I found a site that had the correct factory firmware, and I was able to download it, install Odin, and flash the firmware into my tablet. I followed the steps for the beginning portion of that video posted and was able to get it done. I then wiped all data and the cache and now I'm happy to report that its back to working like it should! Basically saved me from trashing a $200+ tablet!
Thank you guys so much for the help! And thanks to everyone that makes this site possible. Awesome to have people with this level of knowledge in one place and so willing to help!

Hi guys,
A while ago, I've rooted/unlocked my device in order to install Cyanogenmod, installed PhilZ bootloader. Been running through some versions, never happy with the result - slow response, games not running that well, etc. The last time, I got some new update (can't remember which one though ...) which was the worst nightmare. Without any app running, I thought I was on some Eboda tablet, the cheapest one. Last night I've tried to connect the tablet to my laptop, to put some ebooks on it, without success. Nothing I did convinced the 2 devices to see one another. So, I tried to go back to some previous ROM, boot the device in recovery mode and did a wipe. Forgot that at some point I erased all ROMs from it ... now, I still can't connect to it, so that I can copy some version of ROM, any version, although Windows shows it as installed and connected. Bottom line is that now I got no ROM on the tablet, not installed and also not one that I can install, only got the PhilZ bootloader. Is there any way to get my tablet back or is it bricked ?
You are confusing bootloader and recovery. But as long as you can get to the bootloader *or* to your recovery, it is possible to restore your tablet.
To talk to the bootloader, you need to use fastboot.
To talk to the recovery, you need to use adb.
For more details, read berndblb's comprehensive guide in the General section.

You are right, I have to admit I have not been very thorough the first time I went about this
Thank you very much, I will track down this guide, perhaps I will be able to restore my tablet to some use ...
Hi all,
As it turns out, I had only to push one flashable image (used CM11) and was able to put the tablet back on it's feet. Many thanks to berndblb
Have fun!
Ok, I am new here and I do not have a lot of experience with trying to flash phones. I decided I wanted to try it on my Samsung Galaxy S6. I have managed to get as far as the TWRP screen on the phone after rooting, but I cannot get the phone to go back to normal, if that makes sense.
All I have is the Team Win Recovery Project 3.2.1.0 screen with install, wipe etc but no matter what I do I can not move on from there.
I had previously downloaded all the files that I thought was needed but still cant do anything.
Any help greatly appreciated, and sorry for being a dumb newbie and not really up to date on all the terms, so any explanation as to what I need to do in simple terms would be a great help.
Thank you
You can download custom Rom on your pc and install with sideload or install stock rom with odin
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have it all sorted now
