I have installed Team Rogue's version of CWM for the Xoom. Whenever I try to install a zip file or do a nandroid restore, I get kicked back to the main menu. There is no error message whatsoever. Upon pressing install or choosing a backup to restore, the screen just flickers and the main menu appears.
I've already tried to install from different locations (internal vs. external). I've also tried clearing the cache, restarting the device, and even reinstalling RC3 available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
I can't use any other kind of recovery such as the solarnz version since the power button on my Xoom is non-functional due to some hardware modifications. Therefore, I have to use the touch version of recovery. There is also no battery in the device as it runs continuously with the AC cord plugged in.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
Have you tried using the EOS R6 Softkey Recovery for the xoom?
It has softkeys on the screen that you can use instead of the volume and power keys. But you cannot touch directly on what you want.
Hope that helps

That worked! Thanks for your help!

Hey folks,
I could desperately use some help here...
I rooted my Droid Incredible using UnRevoked, which was painless and easy. After that, I downloaded Rom Manager, then backed up my current Rom.
Then I downloaded Titanium, and backed up all apps and system data.
Using Rom Manager, I downloaded Cyanogen mod 7.0.2, checked google apps, DID NOT check wipe data or cache, and then clicked OK to let it work it's magic.
The system turned on and off a bit, and then the CyanogenMod boot screen came on, ran the arrow around the droidbot a few times, then the droidbot dissapeared, came back across the screen, and the arrow resumed circling. This happened about 20 times, before I gave up and powered off by removing the battery.
Then I loaded Hboot, and attempted to access items in Clockworkmod, but even though I could click on an item, it would show the top hat with no change in status for many minutes. I eventually tried almost all options.
My Hboot screen shows:
HBOOT - 0.92.0000
Radio- 2.15.00.07.28
I am unable to click on Fastboot, Recovery leads me to busted Clockwork menu, Clear Storage causes restart into looped Cyanogen Mod screen, haven't tried Simlock, and Factory Reset also goes to broken Clockwork Menu.
I downloaded the RUU file from Doug, changed the title as directed, and put it on the SD Card. It gave me the option to Update, which when restarted afterwards continued to loop in Cyanogen Mod screen. Or, if I went to Clockwork Mod screen, the font was now Green instead of Orange. Also, when I click an item in the Clockwork Mod menu, it simply goes to a black screen until I hit the power button to bring me back to the menu,
I'd love to just get the phone to a factory state, so I can possibly use it for it's purpose of calling and sexting (just kidding.)
Please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Oftentimes, ClockworkMod Recovery has an error at the bottom stating:
E:Invalid command argument
I have to go to bed for a bit, but will be back on around 10:30am EST. Thanks for any and all help!
In ClockworkMod, I can now access and start an operation by selecting it with the volume buttons, and then hitting the joystick button. This wasn't working previously. So, I've tried some of the obvious options such as Factory Reset but it's not doing anything. I've tried multiple solutions, which means I've probably messed it up on many levels. Is there any way I can just start from scratch or get a system restore done?
After utilizing that update from Doug, and then going into Clockwork Mod, clearing all caches and system data, and then trying to restore to a previous flash for the 7th time... I think it might be working!
Thanks to anyone who looked at this.
My friend has a Captivate. He lost all his google apps, android market, gmail, etc. He flashed gapps.zip from his recovery and now his phone is not working right. When he flashed a new rom to his phone, and it brought up the welcome screen it shows it for about 2 seconds and then reboots. He is also almost unable to access the recovery becuase of this, but even when he finally was able to access it and wipe everything, dalvik, cache, data/system, it still has issues. Nothing is fixing the issues from the gapps.zip. He was wondering if there is a way to wipe his entire phone from a update.zip file. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Please note that even when he wipes everything in recovery and flashes a new ROM, it still reboot on the welcome screen and he is unable to resolve this issue.
Ok, so he has now wiped all cache and system files, now instead of showing teh galaxy S logo with the cyanogen logo underneath, it shows just the AT&T screen, but it will not go any furhter, it just sits there. He says that because he is now unable toget into android he cannot access the recovery and the volume up/down is not responding. Is his phone Bricked?
Have you used Odin 1-click to revert back to stock?
had my friend use the Odin 1 click and he said it still did not work. He cannot get the volume up/down trick to work, when before all this it worked just fine. I am going to guess that the only thing he could try is the jig method. He swaers that Odin3 is not doing anything
I was given an Insight that was pre-rooted with Coredroid on it. The wifi worked then, but after I turned it off and tried turning it back on it says "error". I tried switching it to a different rom (gtg465x's Inspired Ace), and at first the wifi worked. After I tried turning it off and back on again, it didn't. Then I flashed it back to stock and did a factory reset and the same thing happened with the wifi again.
Is it possible that a file was modified and didn't go back to its original state?
Sounds like you might have a file or data corruption with your wifi drivers or files. Make sure you perform a full wipe, then reflash rom. There are zip files that you can run through clockwork mod recovery that will perform the wipe for you.
Go here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996383
Also, if you are backing anything up using Titanium backup or any other backup software, never back up and restore system settings, as this tends to cause problems.
If after a full wipe and reflash of rom, and you are still having problems, you might have a hardware issue.
Do I have to re-root it it get clockwork to work?
I read somewhere that a reset through the menu isn't the same as hard reset through the boot menu. I've tried a few different combinations of powering the phone while holding the volume button down. But I can't seem to get the boot menu to come up.
The phone has to be rooted/S-off in order for you to install clockwork mod recovery. There are two methods of rooting. You can try either
HTC Inspire 4G Simple One Click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406
or HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V11 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
In order for you to boot into the bootloader, you must disable fast boot. Go to either Settings > Applications or Settings > Power to disable fast boot. Once disabled, shut down your phone completely. Once off, hold down the volume down button and then press and hold the power button until it loads the boot loader. NOTE: Be very careful with what you do you in bootloader.
I have a Samsung Galaxy tab 2 GT-P5110 which I had successfully installed CM12 onto. I decided to set up work email which insisted that I encrypt the device. I believe that the process completed successfully.
At that point I decided that I would like to flash the device with CM12.1. Restarted the process (Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe dalvik cache) and flash the new CM12.1 zip file from external SD card.
I cannot now get to the recovery mode and the device doesn't always boot into anything recogniseable. The screen goes black and blacker! I have manaed to get to the CM logo and then a screen asking me for the PIN for the encryption. The next screen tells me that the PIN is right but the data is corrupt. It gives me the option to "RESET TABLET" but that really doesn't do anything and won't let me in to the recovery menu.
I can get into the Download mode and connect Heimdall up to it.
Is there anything that anyone can point me at that will help me to unbrick it?
I hope I've passed on enough information to help. It seems to me I need to somehow re-format the internal SD but I can't get to any menu that will allow me to do that.
Any thoughts anyone?
Ta
Fixed It
I seem to have fixed it. I flashed the CWM Recovery rather than the recovery that I had been trying to use and I got control of the device back. Not sure why that made a difference but this time the Android Robot came on screen with the 3D polygon rotating inside it and it seems to be running correctly now and updated to Android 5.1 ... Magic!
Hi there,
I am a newbie and hoping that someone could help to give me some clear pointers about options that i could take to rescue my phone - I hope its not bricked.
I was attempting to install LineageOS 16 on my Oppo R7s. This is my second attempt at installing a ROM - I did it a couple of weeks ago with Project Spectrum, and it worked, but Project Spectrum didn't impress me, so i wanted to try lineage OS instead).
I entered developer mode and enabled USB debugging
I downloaded the LineageOS zip to my SD card, as well as a Google Apps zip.
I downloaded the TWRP app on my phone just in case it was needed, however I've never used that app and not 100% sure how to use it.
I rebooted in recovery mode, and tried to install from the LineageOS zip file. It didn't start installing, I got some error message which I cannot recall... so I tried wiping the application data first, to see if that would help (maybe that was my mistake??)
I then went back to the install menu, and tried to install the Google Apps package first.... it started downloading, but then crashed and black screened.
Now, when I try to power on the phone, I get the oppo logo, and then it briefly goes back to the install screen for a second, with a message on the screen saying: "updating please wait, do not remove battery, do not co other operations" - but this only lasts for a second, then it crashes.
When I try to reboot into recovery mode (Power key +volume down), it does the same thing. I cannot get back to the white recovery menu.
Is there any way that I can rescue the situation and get back into recovery mode to try again? Or get back to a functioning USB connection so I can load a new ROM zip to try that instead?
When I plug it into the power, I get no indication that the phone is charging.
I'm worried the battery will go flat.
I have ADB installed on my computer, but I dont really know how to use it - the only command I know is "adb push" to load the roms onto the SD Card
Any advice on how to get access again would be greatly appreciated!
