[HELP] Stuck in boot loop after modding framework-res.apk

Looks like my worst fears came true. I applied a Metamorph that was supposed to be compatible with all froyo based HDPI Devices, but I guess that wasn't true. It worked at first then I applied another mod from the same thread, then **** hit the fan.
Now my g2x is stuck in a boot loop. I have a stock recovery, and I'm on a mac to make things worse. Please help.

How do I do that? Specifically on a mac...

I was there yesterday, try a full restore. Volume down and power when phone is off.
Brought mine back to life.

Brings me to the recovery (Open box with a green android), then it just continues looping the startup screen.

Can someone please help, my g2x is a paper weight right now

Pull the system dump from the development section. Push the framework-res file via adb while the phone is boot looping or while in cwm if that works.
You should always have a nandroid backup before modifying system files. If you have one, just restore /system.
The first option is the easiest.

I can't figure out how to pull the framework-apk from the system dump. When I type in ./adb devices into terminal, none come up. This is while the boot screen is looping and while it's in stock recovery. I don't have cwm installed

Go to the development section and download the dump in the post labeled T-Mobile g2x dump. Unzip him. After it's unzipped, find /system/framework/framework-res.apk. That's the original file. You news to replace that one with your modified one. Adb is an easy way to do that.
If you're rooted, you should be able to adb push that file to overwrite the modified one. If its not working, you may need to enable read+write on system.
I haven't rooted yet since this is a trial device, so I can't give you a step by step. And I'm typing this on the phone. :-/

There are cwm instructions for Mac + Linux (thats what it looks like you're on based on your post). Try installing that to get adb working.

I can't figure out how to get CWM onto my phone on a mac, adb can't even see the phone.
It's not even turning on now... I'm really worried.

Good way to ask for help... Everyone has given you directions. Your phone isn't a brick. Get on a windows PC and push everything over. Next time, be a bit more careful and flash a recovery image and nandroid before editing things.

don't you have to adb shell to see devices in recovery?

First of all, I understand that you're worried about your phone, but don't get mad at us when we didn't do anything and we are, in fact, trying to help. Second, in order to fix your phone using your own computer, you're probably going to have to install a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu. I don't think anyone has found a way to use nvflash on a Mac thus far. Installing Ubuntu is fairly easy and wouldn't take long.
Check out this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/M...telInstallation#Dual-Boot: Mac OSX and Ubuntu

which stock image do I download? There are several threads.
Do I get it from TMobile G2X dump, or T-Mobile G2X P999 Facotry Firmware, or Stock NANDROID Restore Froyo 2.22 Rooted LG-P999-V10f 4-23-2011
How do I get my computer to recognize the phone? when enter ./adb devices, nothing comes up
Can someone post the framework-res.apk for me please?
How do I restore the firmware with nvflash? I'm borrowing my brothers HP windows 7 computer

my mac doesn't recognize it in adb mode, and it doesn't need a driver

If you can borrow a friend's windows PC, install the LG desktop app. It has a recovery option (assuming it can still communicate with the phone). That's probably the fastest way to get back to stock.

[RECOVERY] Modified 3e Recovery

Dani897 has already made a discussion of this, but I'm moving this information over as an official post in the Infuse 4G section as well.
This is from existz/untermensch's thread. I take no credit. See here for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
Making this modification will allow you to flash un-signed .zip files due to signature verification being turned off. (3e requires root)
* Download and extract the .zip
* Use a terminal emulator or ADB Shell and mount system as read/write.
* For backup purposes, use adb or root explorer to rename the current recovery file in /system/bin to recovery.orig
* Use a file manager (Root Explorer) and copy the new recovery file to /system/bin
* Reboot and your 3e (Froyo stock) recovery will no longer require signature checking.
You can now use this recovery or use the CWM from Captivate (posted in another thread here).
I am not responsible if this bricks your phone. This is easy cheese...just follow these steps.

Yes. it is working on mine right now.

still there is disbelief. yes people it works! im not sure what trouble people are having flahsing roms but cwm and 3e can flash .zip files just fine. i expected to see some flashable mods and themes by now. i have successfully flashed files for testing purposes and im not too advanced of a user. i planed to post some things like a market fix and such but i have been disrtacted.

Dani, i completely agree. If you notice, I made mention of your testing at the top of the article.
Now that there is a dedicated thread, its much more likely to be realized that this works FINE. I think once I get a tester for the Odin package I slapped together to get us back to stock in case we brick, and get it successfully setup, i'll put a thread out and we can REALLY get to work on some ROMs.
So far, this phone's software is nearly identical to the Captivate, meaning we will just need to port from the Captivate and we will have a mass of ROMs in no time!

as soon as we get some kernel dev on this thing i agree. porting will be easy. thanks for the write ups too. are you planning to get a second phone? i would test if i had two of them. my captivate will go to my brother, if it weren't for that id have probably bricked it and begged some people to try making new odin packages for me to fix it.
i understand that after a brick the user hates not having the phone and may be very tempted to return it but it is helpful to everyone to try all you can to recover it. if mine bricks im using the insureance plan and saying it was stolen, then i will have a dedicated test phone.

I have an Atrix as well, but would prefer someone who may have already bricked to try this package that i wrote up this morning.
I dont mind someone wanting to swap.their phone...but i literally need about an hour or two of time with the brick's user and its very likely that we will have working Odin....and then you and i...as well as others... can do kernel and rom deving nearly immediately. We have source already, so we only need to test this safety net . PM me if you find someone who is bricked or is willing to test!!

I have a bricked Infuse im not sure what caused the crash. I was running stock rooted by the super one click method and was uninstalling an app when it went all black except the bottom keys. Doesnt do much of anything else now. I attempted an odin fix someone suggested to no avail. I can get into download mode still but nothing else. Id be willing to try anything to unbrick it .

it's working for me, I unzipped, put the file in my dropbox, downloaded the file on phone from dropbox, used root explorer to mount, (I'm already rooted) copied the file, went to system/bin, renamed the original, then pasted the new file, rebooted, flashed CWM to captivate, and rebooted into recovery, and it works. I still have my HTC Inspire, i'm on a 30 day run here to see if i like the infuse. So far it's the best GPS i've had, and i've had a lot of phones. I hate to think I spent 600 bucks on a another captivate. I had that phone as well, but so far i really like it.

if you can get into download mode I personally would try running the captivate odin and see what happens, buts that's just me lol. I'm a risk taker lol.

What commands do you use in ADB to mount system as read/write?

dont do that. you dont want the captivate param.ifs on here. you may loose download mode if the boot parameters get messed up. especially dont flash anything with bootloaders, that means no one click nad no 3-button fix roms. this may be similar to the galaxy s but there are atleast a few differences in hardware layout that would make that a bad idea. for instance this can run gps and camera during phone calls. the sgs cant so the way things comunicate on the board may be differet, it may also just be differences in the kernel or framework but we cant be sure.

BTW, I just had a successful Odin flash with beatblaster! His framework-res was broken, and he flashed all stock partitions successfully. Hope to be posting it up to the masses in about an hour; After he does some initial checks now that he's back to stock to make sure everything is 100%!

Sweet! So the dump was good then it sounds like. So just to sum it all up, odin the pda tar and it restores and wipes EVERYTHING!
Woops! AND DEODEXED!!?!?

I'm pretty new to all of this, but here is how I did it. Make sure you have busybox installed!
Extract the "recovery" file to your phone's internal SD card.
On your phone, go into your terminal emulator.
Type in "su" and press enter.
Type in "cd /sdcard" and press enter.
Type in "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system"
Type in "cp -f recovery /system/bin" and press enter.
Reboot your phone.
Maybe this will help someone. Maybe it's not even the right way to do this, and my phone will soon explode. I'm a pretty big noob with this, so someone let me know.
PS: If you brick your phone, it isn't my fault.

Hi I came from iPhone 4 and like 2days owning this infuse, I am trying to follow gtg465x to install his ROM, I am done with the rooting and his next step is to "install 3e recovery" now that I am here I am totally lost, I downloaded the file here my Questions are:
1.where do I extract the zip I donwloaded from here? From the SD card root?
2. What thing will I use Terminal emulator or ADB SHELL to make it read/write is that 2 an Android apps I'm lost here. I am trying to be careful, I searched and found too much post and way different doing this. So now I am confuse.
Can anybody tell me how it install 3e recovery the easy and idiot proof way, like I said I am new to android I really have no idea about everything, and most of them too are initial I don't even know what the initials means. Anyone? Thanks

I came from an iphone as well, about 2 weeks ago. I used the method posted in my previous reply. It worked for me, and has been doing fine so far. One thing you must do is make sure busybox is installed before you try it though. If you dont have busybox installed, none of the commands will work. Then just download "Terminal Emulator" from the market, and use that to give commands.

Total recovery - flashing a RUU to completely restore your phone
If all else fails, this is your last resort.
This process will also erase all your data. But hey, beats having a dead phone, right?
First, ensure you have enough battery (more than 30%) to run an RUU.
Next, boot your phone into fastboot bootloader and open a command prompt window on your computer in the platform-tools folder.
Use the command:
fastboot getvar version-main
You now need to find the RUU that corresponds to this version. Start here. If you have problems visit #htc-one-x on freenode.
Now you must re-lock the bootloader using:
fastboot oem lock
It won't hurt to use the clear cache command as well
fastboot erase cache
Finally, run the RUU.exe that you have downloaded (must be used in Windows, and requires HTC drivers, which will have been installed whilst using HTCDev to unlock your phone).
This will write the /recovery, /boot, and /system to stock. You will need to start from scratch to unlock.
[edit]Extracting RUU if you have errors with the above method - Originally by torxx
Please note that this method isn't 100% reliable and should be considered a last resort; there have been various reports of this not working.
Many people have issues with flashing RUU's etc. having a bootlop.
Download a RUU (make sure you get the correct RUU, please see above)
Now open the .exe and make sure that it fully started.
Don't click anything, just go to windows icon and search for %temp%.
You will now find some folders, just search through these folders for the ROM.zip.
If you found it, you can copy it to your desktop or somewhere else.
Extract it with WinRar,7-zip or something like that and take the boot_signed.img and system.img.
Now copy the two files into the folder where the fastboot.exe is placed (if you have installed the Android SDK, it should be in platform-tools)
Plug in your One X, go into the bootloader and go into fastboot mode.
Navigate with the cmd in the folder with the fasboot.exe and the two .img's.
Now type in that:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot flash system system.img
If everything worked, just reboot:
adb reboot

Could not agree more. Please READ the dev forums in detail before trying to do ANYTHING to your phone. Understand what you are doing before diving in.
Staying stock seems to be the best option for you. I know English is not your first language, which is fine; it's not my first language either. Reading all the development stuff can be challenging, but it's more dangerous to venture in this world unprepared.
The HTC One X is really very usable out of the box. Just use it and don't try anything funny.

Did I brick my Inspire 4G?

I'm sure I haven't bricked this phone, because in the process of rooting it, it will eventually say it's S-OFF. But after getting to that point, I can choose Recovery in CWM and when it gets to the white screen with the green HTC logo, after about 4 seconds, it will fade to black. This has happened to 2 phones I've rooted. Luckily mine worked like a charm, but after the last 2...I'm afraid to root another one. Does this sound like a bad memory card, or maybe it's not a gold card? I've searched around and couldn't find an answer, so maybe someone here at XDA has experienced this problem and has an answer.
TIA

I quite don't get that....you can choose recovery in CWM?? what does that is supposed to mean? CWM is a custom recovery. I guess that you are probably refering to hboot. Anyway, if you are S-OFF, then you might not have a recovery installed, so flash a new one (use the guide in my signature or look for post # 7 in the Ace Think Tank in the general section of the Desire HD forum)
Make sure first that you are S-OFF for certain, if you are not, then you won't be able to flash anything at all. Then, try re running the Hack Kit again from the white splash screen as the manual tells you to.

Anyway, if you are S-OFF, then you might not have a recovery installed, so flash a new one (use the guide in my signature or look for post # 7 in the Ace Think Tank in the general section of the Desire HD forum)
Make sure first that you are S-OFF for certain, if you are not, then you won't be able to flash anything at all. Then, try re running the Hack Kit again from the white splash screen as the manual tells you to.

Yes, I guess I did mean hboot. In the process of Recovery is when it will fail and there is a ROM loaded for it to recover from on the SD card. Is it possibly because it is looking for the clockworkmod/backup folder and there is not one? I just realized that maybe I can copy a backup from my phone (we have the same exact phone) and place in there if it's possible. I don't have access to the phone now, as it is a friends. Also, if it fades out at the white HTC logo and just gets hung up, there is no way to re-run the Hack Kit is there?
Thanks for the help glevitan, as you've helped me before and I HAVE downloaded your Ultimate Hack Guide and keep it on my phone for reference.

Just a question, are you sure that the phone is S-OFF? or has an unlocked bootlaoder? In either way you can flash recovery again from fastboot and then a custom rom again.
If you need help, I can lend you a hand via teamviewer..just let me know. :good:

ok. Good luck!

Ok glevitan, I believe the problem might be in the PD98IMG.zip that's on the root of my SD card. I noticed when the phone booted into hboot, it would display that the image file was wrong, or something to that effect and then would force an update, which would load the HTC spashscreen and then ultimately fade out. I figured it had a bad PD98IMG.zip file, so I found the original aahk-13012012.zip and extracted the PD98IMG.zip from there and overwrote the one in the root. It didn't work. A different story...I noticed on my Inspire 4G (working correctly, but hboot had same error, even though I could load recovery from there) that it wasn't finding the correct image either. I copied over the PD98IMG.zip onto my phone and now both phones are now fading out on the HTC splashscreen after about 4 seconds. This tells me that it's in the SD card, right? If so, any suggestions? Both phones were rooted using this version of aahk.
Edit: Also, with this new PD98IMG.zip image, hboot will go into the process of parsing for
[1] boot
[2] recovery
[3] radio_v2
Once this is done, I push Power to reboot and that's when I get the failure in the HTC splashscreen.
Edit: I noticed in the PD98IMG.zip there was no md5 file, so I stuck one in there and got my phone working (which is not the one with the original issue started in this thread) and was able to restore a nandroid backup. I put this same SD card in the original damaged phone and it didn't restore like mine did. I still think it's an SD card issue causing the HTC splashscreen fadeout, but don't know where to go know.
Also, my PD98IMG.zip only has a recovery.img and a recovery.md5 file in it. I noticed that the original aahk PD98IMG.zip has those along with a boot.img and a radio.img. Should those be in the PD98IMG.zip? I know this post was edited twice and is very jumbled, so if you can make sense of it and offer solutions, much obliged.

Ok, I quite don't get much...sorry, but that version of the Hack Kit is old, so use the lastest one: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74
But again, I don't still get if the phone is S-OFF or not. If you are S-OFF there is no need to do all that process. Even, you can flash a RUU without using the PD98IMG way if you suspect that the sdcard is messed.
You can flash it over fastboot.... Anyway, you will have to flash this RUU (which is the gingerbread update 2.3.3 version of ATT. the lastest one, if you are not S-OFF will make things a bit harder for you to run the hack kit later): http://https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
Put the phone in fastboot usb (when in hboot, plug the phone and it should read fastboot usb in red, if not, just press power button to toggle to fastboot). Then, just run that .exe file and it should flash...

Sorry, I thought I had said I was S-OFF. I can get my phone to be fastboot usb when hooked up with a usb in hboot, but can't reflash aahk or anything computer related. It just doesn't seem to recognize anything on the PC.
Edit: And I apologize glevitan, I've searched and found a couple of threads related to the black screen after the HTC logo, so I know you guys have helped and explained this numerous times before. I just couldn't get any of the suggestions from those threads to work out. Thanks for any help you may input.

I was having a similar problem, I'm not too sure if it relates to what your experiencing. But I was trying to gain s-off my hboot was in fact unlocked but was still s-on. I was reading around and flashed a few boot.img with fast boot. I had that problem where htc screen would show then fade to black, and then stay black.
What I did was (I had installed recovery pretty early on) I did a factory reset in recovery then went to restore. Prior to this thank god I had transfered my nandroids to the pc b4 flashing new boot.img(s) then flashed the boot.img from the nandroid I just restored. All was well back into stock. I then found the insecure boot.img to use for aahk, flashed that in fastboot and relocked hboot. Reran aahk in linux. Got me to S-OFF with unlock.
If you need a fairly stock nandroid I can provide one.

glevitan, you're awesome. I restored the phone by running the RUU executable and reran the aahk and am now fully rooted. Both times I got the black screen on this phone previously was on the same PC, but this time I ran aahk on my PC and it ran correctly. I sincerely appreciate your help in helping me to achieve root for this phone. Hopefully this thread helps someone in the future.

Can you or anyone do step by step on how too root the HTC inspire? From step one an not for get anything even if its an hour long video? Anything would help. I'm new with the HTC inspire. It seems that I can't root it at all. I'm not saying I can't root phones I rooted a lot. I have done the HTC Evo sprint the HTC amaze tmobile I have done three galaxy s2's the sprint the boost an the straight talk an many more. But this HTC inspire has me at a "STOP" noting seems too work at all. Please Help Me.

What have you tried? AAHK is the only real option. There is a very clear guide over at the Ace Think Tank post #7, linked in my signature.

Besides what bananagranola said, you need to know that video tutorials suck. They skip important details and that, will probably get you stuck. Read the guide adviced, and the hack kit site (got the link in the Ace Think Tank Thread)...that is all you need to know.

I have tryed the Aahk. My problem is when it ask me to downgrade ruu an all that. All my phone dose when I run the aahk I push 1 an then it ask too downgrade so i put y then something about the ruu an I put y then it says pushing the 9 something file. ( sorry I'm not home on my computer ) so I'm not 100% on what it is saying. But then my phone boots to Hboot dose its thank. Then says bad image. I have done this a lot of times with the aahk. I even tock the s-on off an on. Is there a way that someone can jump into my computer an do this?

Try using a different sdcard. If the RUU image is not being read, that is probably due to a bad sdcard. It is corrupted to work as a goldcard but fine for usual day use.

I have. I have had 4 of them now. Two 2 gigs one 36gig an one 8 gig. New I paid for them an a new USB cored fast data cable for the phone.

2gb is enough...don't use another cable but the oem one that came with the phone. Anyway, that seems to be a sdcard issue. Try with another one and then report back.

I will go buy one more. But I Dont thank its that. An why not use a fast data cored for my phone?

[Q] First time rooting/S-Off/new ROM

Is there such thing as a guide like this one but that is up to date and with working links? I want to flash a new ROM onto my phone, but the guides I've found here and elsewhere have broken links, or use language that I don't understand, or skip vital steps. I've been working on this for four hours straight and I haven't gotten a single guide to work, or get stuck, or something else that's really dumb. For someone who has worked on computers for the last 17 years this is extremely frustrating. I'm very new to the android modding scene and apparently it's not just a community, but an entirely different culture and I'm feeling a bit shocked and confused. I have like 30 tabs open with guides, info, different ROMs, different ways to do it, etc and the more I learn the less I understand how to do this :/ I just want to get my phone working with a ROM that's very similar to stock Sense but without the crappy bloatware and memory issues. Miktouch is the one I thought I wanted, but apparently hasn't been updated in almost a year, and bulletproof/doubleshot is confusing. I can't even figure out how to root and get S-Of... Gah!
Please help.
This guide is confusing and skips steps or lacks real explanations.
Thank you.

First thing you want to do is root your phone, this is done by unlocking you bootloader through the HTC dev website. There is a tutorial that is stickyed in the developer section called something like root from any bootloader. I suggest to read that a bit.
Once you followed those steps and unlocked your bootloader you can decide if you want to remove all security flags (highly recommend this, but some find it difficult) in the same guide it explains what radio s-off is and links you to the jbear site to do the wire trick (needs Linux) (or find weekendstoshort for a way to do it in windows)
Feel free to ask more questions but all answers should be found in these xda threads and jbear site, no need to Google anything for this

First timer here as well (although long time computer user/programming familiar so I might have a better understanding of some things than you) and I was able to fully unlock, S-OFF, and load up a JB rom to my phone using the guide right on this site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801106) and some help from some online friends that have done this kind of thing before. I found all links to be working, and pretty much all steps to be covered. The I guess hardest part was the permanent S-OFF using the wire trick. I had to burn an Ubuntu live cd and boot a laptop with it, but I was even able to get that step done. A little frustrating with the timing, I think it took me about 8 tries until it finally unlocked. The only thing I think I initially missed was wiping all 3 caches, so I did a dirty flash that got stuck on the boot screen. After I wiped and loaded again, no problems. If you'd like any additional help, I get pretty bored at work, so find me on aim or gchat, or just shoot me a PM here, I think I should get notified
Good luck, it's not as bad as I thought it would be
Also I haven't personally tried it, but feel free to peruse this thread as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696373
Note you'll need to have already achieved HTCDev unlocked and be rooted to use this (covered in that first link)

I'm following the first guide you linked. So far it's working I just flashed CWmod on and I loaded it according to the instructions in the guide "After fastboot finishes, disconnect your MT4GS, go into bootloader, and go to “RECOVERY.” You should now be in ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7. The first thing I would do in CWM Recovery is make a backup of your stock ROM for safe keeping. "
But I forgot to d/c my phone. It still loaded CWmod and I navigated to backup/restore and clicked it. Right now my phone has the clockwork logo in the middle but it didn't give me any prompts after selecting backup/restore. What's it doing? It's been doing this for like 5 minutes. Should I be worried that I forgot to d/c the cable and whatnot?
Thanks

I wouldn't worry, and I'm not entirely sure what it's trying to do, perhaps the possibility of USB storage is throwing it off. At this point I'd say just try to disconnect it, pull the battery, and start back up into recovery, but without the USB attached this time. I imagine then you'll be fine and able to backup the stock image like they say for safe keeping.
One more dummy question (tech support for many years, always check the simple stuff first...) you do have SOME SD card in there right?

booted into recovery, clicked on bacup/restore...still just showing the logo in the middle.

Okay, so the select button changes from power to the scroll pad once in recovery...good to know.

Using CWM to flash Miktouch now. Hopefully it works... =D

Just remember, if you are "S-On" you're going to need to fastboot flash boot boot.img after your ROM is thru flashing or you will hang up at the boot animation.

K. First impressions:
When I restart the phone, the first thing it does is force stop Gmail and Youtube several times. Is this supposed to happen?
Also, I'm extremely impressed with the speed of the restart. It's at LEAST twice as fast as stock.
And, Genius button doesn't work even after installing the patch linked to on your website (universal.zip).

Thanks Weekends. I did that and it's installed, though I fastboot flash boot boot.img before I used CWM to flash the rom. Does that make a difference? Do you think doing it that way will fix the force close mentioned above?

If there's not a fix for the gmail/youtube force closes, is it possible to do bulletproof with s-on? Thoughts? I really want to stick as close to stock MT4GS but with as solid a system as possible.

Another noob question. How do I wipe all?
Also, when I use CWM to install Mikrom it atuo restarts and loads up. Then do I restart again and go fastboot the new kernal?
Thank you all for how much help you have given me.

At the end of the updater-script there must be a reboot command, but being this ROM is based of stock you may not need to flash the kernel anyway.
Best methods for wiping is one of bluex's superwipe scripts or with fastboot
fastboot erase system -w
But being you are s-on that command may fail.
But always do a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik in recovery.
It also good practice to make a nandroid of current ROM before you flash anything
