rooted, unrooted, bricked, unbricked, stuck in recovery - General Questions and Answers

Please help!
I tried rooting my husband's lg optimus s but when i loaded a custom rom, he was unable to send/receive text messages. i tried a few other roms with no fix. restored stock via nandroid backup still no fix. read that i had to unroot the phone to downgrade to froyo to get a radio fix and upgrade back to gingerbread to reroot (my evo was SO MUCH EASIER) but when i tried downgrading i didn't realize i also had to restore the stock recovery so i bricked it. i managed to unbrick it using this method
>>forums .androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-rooting-roms-hacks/59781-un-brick-method-some-forms-brick.html
but now i'm stuck in recovery with the following errors:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't open CACHE:recovery/log
i tried flashing a rom, restoring nandroid backup and flashing update.zip (sprint stock froyo which bricked it again) but i'm still stuck.
any ideas???
my keyboard died while typing this up... maybe I should go play lotto, my luck has to turn around somewhere!
RESOLVED!!
1. download the stock recovery for your phone
2. rename it "recovery.img" without quotes
3. mount your sd card using the usb toggle
4. save it to the root of your sd card
5. unmount the sd card
6. open adb
7. enter the following commands (press enter after each line):
Code:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
flash_image recovery /sdcard /recovery.img
Note: I had to run those commands a few times before it actually installed the recovery image correctly.
8. reboot into stock recovery
**if you don't get the # after entering "adb shell", you aren't rooted and i don't know how to help but otherwise you should be good.
depending on what you plan on doing at that point you may need different instructions. i flashed back to froyo using the official sprint zip and then upgraded back to gingerbread, rerooted and installed a custom recovery and finally a custom rom. if you need any help or clarification just let me know.

go into bootloader (power button plus down on volume key) and make sure that you have the correct PD.....zip (original update). it should automatically recognize that you have the original update and apply the update to your phone. then while STILL in bootloader DO NOT restart your husbands phone, go into recovery. Find/download a rom that is closest to the ORIGINAL rom that came with your phone and isntall. all should work and it should boot up just fine as if it were new. i had to do this with my inspire 4g i had relatively the same problem nothing would work until i found the original PD......zip file and placed it as a file named "update" on my phone and it updated to the PD......zip. then i found an original htc inspire rom and for some reason only the original closest rom works with the PD......zip. i tried multiple roms and only the original rom worked. this worked for me it took me hours to figure out. i hope this helps and is clear enough. to place a rom on your phone while in recovery go down until you see mounts and mount it to your pc.

the optimus s doesn't have bootloader. when i do power+vol down, it just goes to recovery. this isn't something that got messed up, it's always been like that. my evo has a bootloader and i was hoping for something similar with the optimus but it doesn't have it.

[Solved] almost bricked mt4g. please verify my next step

First, let me say thanks to all who contribute. I started with a G1 when it first came out, using the JF mods and lurking these forums for hours. Without you guys, we'd all be stuck with boring stock devices!
Heres my question:
I've done a search and just want someone to verify my next planned step.
Tonight I think almost bricked my Mytouch 4g. I had root, and had CM6.1.2-RC2 installed. It was working great.
Then I wanted to get the CM7 nightlies working. I couldn't get the CM7 rom past the mytouch splash screen. So, I upgraded Rom Manager, and thought i had to upgrade ClockworkMod to 3.0 to get the CM7 nightly rom to boot. I accidentaly flashed the wrong ClockworkMod Recovery. I flashed the file that was for a G2 (vision). Rebooted without noticing my mistake, than noticed my error when I couldn't get into recovery mode.
Fortunately i installed Hboot during the rooting process. I'm planning on letting Hboot flash the file mentioned in this post to get back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10514066
What do you think?
Just don't want to get myself in deeper S...
Thanks again.
connect the usb and run adb. Boot into bootloader and flash the recovery 3.0??? that way. You'll be good to go after that

You can connect adb with the bootloader? I ran:
Code:
adb devices
and adb came back with no devices found.
How do I flash the recovery if adb has nothing to communicate with?
BTW, I'm using Hboot Engineering, and Hboot does recognize the usb connection by displaying: HBOOT USB PLUG
fastboot devices
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
SOLVED
Thanks for trying to help osugsxr. I will have to read up on fastboot.
However, I did not follow your advice. I didn't get your reply in time to try fastboot. My impatient ADD personality went ahead and followed the advice in the thread that I referred to in my original post. In an effort to help others who may have gotten into a jam, heres what I did:
1. Took out my SD card and connected it to my PC via external SD card reader.
2. Because I had a ton of crap on the SD card, I formatted it FAT32 to have a clean card.
3. Downloaded the stock Glacier rom (A large 315mb file. Should have a filename like PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip)
4. Copied the stock Glacier rom to the SD blank card.
5. Renamed the rom to PD15IMG.zip (maybe case sensitive, not sure)
6. Unmounted/Ejected the SD card from the PC reader an put it back in my phone.
7. Pulled the battery on my phone for about a minute then put it back in.
7. Hold volume down and the power button at the same time.
8. Hboot should start up, then after a few moments it will say loading PD15IMG.zip. After PD15IMG.zip loads, it will ask you "Do you want to start update?". Press VOL UP for Yes.
9. You will then see Hboot working its way down a list of about 9 items. Be patient, this takes a while. After this is done, it will say so, and tell you to press the power button to reboot.
Hopefully you have successfully flashed the stock rom, and your phone will be back to what it was like when you first bought it.
I attached pictures of the Hboot screen and flashing process for reference

-SOLVED- [Q] Trying to root, but can't boot into CWM...can anyone help?

I was using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078019 to unlock, install CWM, and then root. Unlocking was fine, installing that version of CWM seemed okay, but when I enter command "fastboot reboot", then hold down the volume - button after 3 seconds of the Moto logo showing, then pressing the volume + key, I get only 1 option....-->Android Recovery. I press the Volume + key, get "Entering Android Recovery Mode", and below that "Reading ODM Fuse 1", then the screen switches to an android with a yellow hazard sign in his tummy.
From that screen, if I press Volume + and power, I see:
Android system recovery <3e>
Use volume keys to highlight; power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from USB drive
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I don't get a choice to apply something from the microSD card I have installed with the WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip I put on the card.
Has anyone had this happen? I can't ask in the development forum. I also just got the Xoom back from a repair, and it was wiped to stock, then I did the 3.1 update when I got it back this morning. Is the fuse thing something they may have done to block rooting?
Have you tried reformat your sd card?

I reformatted my sd card, but I still can't get CWM to work and boot into recovery. Same message-

Entering Android Recovery Mode
Reading ODM fuse: 1
And that's it....no options to load the root zip from an SD card or anything. Is there a way to push root without using the SD card? Or is that ODM fuse thing making it impossible?

Nothing at all to do with CWM.
OP: Try flashing the recovery again. To get into recovery, type adb reboot recovery, or use an app such as Quick Boot.
Edit: You can't use CWM to root, you need to do that first.

I have to root first? I'm not sure how to do it....can't find any other methods of rooting 3.1....everything on Google just points me to the same method, using the SD card that won't work cuz I can't boot into recovery. Ugh.
Hey jump hour PM me.
Hey guys,
I called JumpHour and we tried to troubleshoot this over the phone. We aren't able to get into the recovery because of error "reading odm fuse: 1". The OP is using Windows 7 64 BIT and has the SDK installed properly. He updated the sources and installed them so those are up to date. We also verified that USB debugging was enabled and that the correct files were in the tools section in the SDK folder.
We ran the commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot-recovery ........ (we typed it in correctly accoriding the thread)
fastboot reboot
and we get that error message.
This was all initiated while the Xoom was powered on. JumpHour stated that he had to send his Xoom back to Moto because his Xoom got messed up during the re-locking process when he unrooted a one click root and re-locked.
We then went ahead and downloaded the recovery image again and replace the one in the tools folder. We ran the commands again and we were getting the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this process? Are we missing something? Is something broken?
Get the official images. I am assuming you have a USA 3g or wifi model.
Follow the steps to return the device to stock. But do not issue the reclock bootloader command. There is no need to relock.
From there power up the device and turn on USB debugging.
Then adb reboot into recovery. That should bring you to the stock recovery.
If all goes well from here just do what ever else you where intending to do in the first place.
You most likely can just flash the stock recovery but I would just do a full flash back to official images minus relocking bootloader.

Then let the ota update it to 3.1 and so on.

What's the status JumpHour? Did you get it to work. I told you it may have been due to the images. Hopefully that fixes your issue. Take care dude.

Hi, thanks for the response. I'm gonna try it now. I was up REALLY late last night, and just got up a little while ago. I'll definately respond after I try it out.
Finally, I did it!
Okay, I fixed it finally. Reloaded the stock images, and it's now rooted with SD support. Yay! Only took 2 days!
Thanks for all your help guys.
Can reflashing with original images fix recovery mode mount problem?
Does any window is flashing to the original images can restore access to the sdcard IF the recovery mode in the official recovery mode (not CWM) says that you cannot mount the sdcard?

[Q] How to revert back to stock everything without root on GT-i9020T?

How do I revert back after one-click root to the stock everything including radio, rom, build, etc. I am currently running Cynagon mod RC1 7 and have had numerous issues, I would just like a clean, simple cut answer so I can give this to someone for the holidays, any help would be mightly appreciated, as i've asked this in the past and can never seem to get a clear cut answer, thanks.

Just flash a full rom, it should restore the radio, the recovery, and the OS. Then do a reset to factory defaults if you are paranoid.
Get the proper rom for you phone here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
If you're on T-Mobile, you have an i9020-T, this should work for you. It is the full 2.3.6 image.

Is this also working if you're coming from stock unrooted ICS 4.0.3 ?
And
Is there any risk of loosing IMEI if you're going full ROM ?

I have reverted back from 4.0.3 yesterday by reflashing the full 2.3.6 rom without any issues. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by losing IMEI.
My phone works just fine after doing this (more than once!).

Ok here's my problem i did the ics update earlier before you told me this and still having issues, now when I go to recovery I get a android with his chest open with a red caution sign on it...how could I just format everything, essentially make it the way it was out of box so I could start over...because of all the issues I'm currently having.
When you get to that point, you need to hold down power then press vol up. Then you will be able to flash the zip. You need to put the zip on the phone first though, unless you have CWM recovery, in which case you can mount the sdcard section and move it across then, and flash it after.
OK thanks...Just please let's summarize this
1.You were on I9020T bone stock , unrooted
2.You had GB 2.3.6
3.You updated manually (or OTA) to 4.0.3
4.You decided to revert to GB 2.3.6
5.You used exactly the same method of manual update (stock recovery after copying the .zip file and in this case the full ROM of 2.3.6 to SD)
6.You followed the stock recovery steps and chose the .zip 2.3.6..
7.After everything was setup , you booted into GB 2.3.6 without any problems
Is that right ? or better if you make the exact detailed steps you did to revert to GB 2.3.6 would be apreciated
Thanks

Do you have a folder in windows where you have been flashing stuff from, using fastboot?
If so, just get this recovery image http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686
Download either the blue or green 5023 image. Doesnt matter which just changes colour of mod place the file in the same folder as the fastboot.
Next, with the phone off and after attaching the phone to USB, turn it on while pressing vol-up and power. You should see the boot option screen, the fastboot screen. Leave the phone there.
Now go back to cmd window in windows, and browse to the folder where you have all the fastboot files and where you have put the above image file. Then type in the following:
fastboot flash recovery <image name.img> (without the < >)
press enter and it'll flash the recovery and then you can install the old version of android

I don't believe I have a folder as such, being a person who is not familiar with the lingo, etc of all this i rooted it with one-click mod, and just flash things through this, are you saying I can flash things externally? sorry to sound like a bum, but i'm trying to understand thanks.
No problem, we're all noobs once, hell i still am and only just coming to terms with it all! Just need to do a bit of researching, but heres the basics...
fastboot lets you flash stuff to the phone from windows, when the phone is attached to the USB and is in fastboot mode (just turned on, from vol-up/pwr).
Can unlock the boot loader and flash recovery images from there. Once thats done, most other stuff can be done from within the new recovery mode, clockworkmod being the one that everyone uses.
over at nexusshacks it's explained really well how to root your phone. And he provides a zip with everything you could want. That zip is the folder I was talking about in the last post. It comes with drivers to install when you first plug the USB in and the PC recognises the phone. Download the pack, install them drivers and then go back to my last post and take it from there
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/NexusS/rooting/nexussrootnew.zip
EDIT: Also do a full wipe/data reset just before you flash the new rom

I'm using clockwork right now, but it seems to be corrupted, im running 4.0.3 right now on a full rom package, so your saying I should still do this? I think i may have done all that before, as the phone is rooted, but I used the one-click method instead.
Just download that file and then you'll have what you need on your pc to do what i mentioned above. Plug the phone in and reflash the new recovery which will not harm it, and then you'll be able to stick gingerbread or ICS back on. You gotta try things out otherwise you'll not understand what is going on. I dont know of any one click thing that will let you go back to default as it was before. After it flashes the new recovery, scroll down to "recovery" on the screen and press the power button, dont restart the system.
In hindsight, while the one click methods are easy to use, theyre getting used by people that dont do the necessary research to learn about the rooting and flashing process. This means you end up skipping so much that you learn about the whole rooting and flashing proocess when doing it manually, which in turn means you have more trouble getting out of it if you want it back to the way it was! No offence intended here, but you just need to man up and do it! All will be well

[Q]Get into recovery but freeze on boot. 2+ hours searching

I've looked for 2hours and cant find an answer to my problem seen bricks where it wouldnt turn on at all or diff soft bricks but nothing quite like mine. If some one can help me out I'd be a nice guy and pay pal them a few beers
Today got a new Nexus S 4G. Rooted it with OneClickRoot from here
downloaded rom manager and updated recovery to version 5.0.2(I think)
did a back up
Then installed [NS4G] gingerbread-deck rom from here
it had no market app and a few others missing so I decided to go back to original until I found something else.
Stupid me thought you held down vol + power to get into bootloader as on other phones I've had in the past so when it wouldnt get me in I stupidly(again :/) ran the oneClick method my thinking being it would gain me temp root access to recovery well it downgraded recovery back to 3.0.2.4 and when I went to restore my back up it skipped a few things saying "system.img,data.img and cache.img not found" then restore complete.
So phone hung during boot with that so I then went to reinstall the deck rom thinking i could send a new rom to the phones storage via USB with that and get back to recovery now that i knew vol up + power would get me into bootloader.
trying that gave a variety of errors the last saying
E:Error in /sdcard/rom.zip
status 7
installation aborted
so i can get into boot loader and recovery but that is it
Any help is greatly appreciated
Definitely not as bad as you think it is.
Have a working fastboot setup on your computer.
Use fastboot to flash the latest CWM recovery (5.0.2.0) instead of ages old 3.0.2.4
From there flash any custom ROM.

You just need to do mount USB storage. Then unplug and replug your phone to make it detect. That will mount your internal memory used as SD card.
Tried that. it still won't pull up under My computer. Maybe after I update clcok work???

You don't put the RUU on the phone's memory. You download it (must use windows) plug the phone in and run it...make sure you relock the bootloader first.
And you DID flash an international ROM....we don't have a leedroid ROM for our phone...everybody really ought to research hard before doing ANYTHING to their phones.

Like mikelebz mentioned above, you best run the RUU of your PC and get back to STOCK, then redo all the mods you want to add.

If you have cwm installed, there is an option to mount sdcard.
Once it's mounted you should be able to transfer your files.
If you had the ability to load the rom you should have the ability to get back into cwm recovery.
I got stuck in a boot loop myself and did this to get myself out. But I also save at least 1 working backup on my sdcard.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Like others have pointed out you tried to flash a International ROM for the Nvidia based chipset ONE X. That's why your stuck.
Now if you can get into the bootloader by holding down the vol down button and the power button from the phone being turned OFF here is what you do.
Step 1 Plug phone into your PC while turned off
Step 2 Boot into bootloader
Step 3 Select Fastboot
Step 4 Go to your ADB folder
Step 5 hold shift down and right click in the ADB folder and select open command window here (only works in windows 7)
Step 6 type fastboot oem lock in the command window.
Your phone is now relocked and will automatically reboot but will still lock up at the htc screen because your still using the wrong ROM. SO now force your phone off again and reload back into the bootloader select fastboot then run the RUU from your PC. This will restore your phone.
From this point you can re unlock your bootloader then fastboot flash a recovery I recommend TWRP as its guaranteed to have working sdcard mount. Then you can flash custom ROMs again but please this time pay attention to your phones model Stay away from the One X forum and only go to the AT&T ONE X forum and please please READ before blindly jumping in and flashing.
I got my problem solved guys.....I was having CWM-TOUCH-5.8.3.1 which was not able to mount my ph as USB storage ( its a bug in CWM )......I flashed the phone with TWRP recovery ROM and was able to mount my phone as USB storage and copied the ROM backup folder and restored my stock ROM.........

or is there any other custom recovery that allows me to connect my phone in USB storage more or mass storage more so that I can transfer my stock backup ROM and restore it and make my phone working.

To answer your question. Yes there is a custom recovery that allows you to mount your storage as a USB Mass Storage device.
Its here http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8.1-evita.img.
If you don't already have ADB and all the Android software utilities download and install them here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Only install "Tools" which includes the SDK Tools and SDK Platform Tools. They're located in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools, also by the way put the .img you downloaded into that folder as well.
Now go to Run... and type in CMD to get into command prompt. then type in
"cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
or "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" for 64 bit
then
Go into your phones bootloader (I assume you know how to do this since you can get into CWM and then go into the fastboot. Then connect it to your PC. If you've done this correctly it should have a red status of "FASTBOOT USB" if it didn't work make sure you have the right HTC Drivers installed for your phone.
Here: http://binary100100.googlecode.com/files/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
After you have your phone in FASTBOOT USB mode then go back to command prompt and type in this command
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.1.8.1-evita.img
It should then push the recovery img to the phone and over-write CWM.
If it said it couldn't read or find the img make sure you have it in the same folder as ADB and fastboot etc.
Let me know if it works.
when I reject and incomming call I get two icons saying REMINDME and SEND TEXT.......How do I disable this option.....like reject the call and dont get this reminder and send text icons.

That's 2 big mistakes that could have been easily avoided with the proper research. CWM Touch is not meant for our device, and has some major issues with our phone, as you found out the hard way. Two things that were never meant to be flashed to our device (CWM TOuch and LeeDroid). You're lucky you don't have a hard brick.
You need to slow down on the flashing of things without proper research. Take a breath, and do some reading before you do some irreparable damage. Specifically, only flash things in the Development forum for the AT&T version of the phone.
