you can access your recovery? if so, there is a usb storage option in clockwork.

try reinstalling them through the pdanet website http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php
download the free version to your desktop and install, then follow the onscreen instructions. itll install the proper drivers for your phone. its possible that it wont recognize your phone though. also, did you try reformatting the phones storage? and you never answered, can you still boot into recovery?

yes i can boot into recovery. formathing the storage is the thing that made me come to this dead end.(not being able to flash the rom. cuz i formated the storage where the rom was on.
oh and i did not instal the USB drivers.cuz it doesnt find my device.
and.. how do i set my device to USB debug when i cant boot to android -.-? ill just skip that step

****.im in! dling a rom now/fast!
ill post pics on what i did >< thoug i do not recomand it

wauw,your info was really useful.
maybe you should consider RE thinking the meaning of bricked.
you call an electronic a Brick when it's useless and cant do the things it supposed to do.
that it can turn on and show letters, doesn't exclude it from the definition bricked.
and my nexus S was useless until repairs. so yes it was a brick.
i might not have as many posts as you do. but that doesn't conclude on what level of knowledge i am. so dont even try to say im totally wrong.
next time.contribute. not the opposite.
and if you cant contribute,than dont even post irrelevant things at all.

NM. Got going to bother.

In the strictest sense of the term, bricking must imply that software error has rendered the device completely unrecoverable without some hardware replacement.
We at XDA like to take our definitions very seriously. You had a softbrick

brick/softbrick.. it just doesnt matter because its all relative to the moment the thread was started. to the op, it was a brick when he started the thread. it later became known that the phone was softbricked, only after fixing it. whats important is that the op fixed his phone, everything else is just semantics and irrelevant. well, its irrelevant unless now this thread turned into a "define bricked" thread. then its relevant and to the point
(btw, sorry. i wasnt meaning to be an ass if i sounded like one. im just feeling a little rambunctious )

You're welcome.
Once again:
Bricked = non-recoverable. <- notice the period
Softbricked = recoverable, software problem

at-least some one that doesn't think he's Almighty and knowing.
and being an ass about it.
and what simms22 just said.
in the start of the thread.i thought it was bricked.
but we managed to get it fixed.
though USB not working(yes the USB component of the main board)
does imply bricked. cuz it did need a replacement(though i fiddled with it and got it to work.)thats why i edited my first post.
it was part bricked,part soft bricked.

No one is implying that they are all mighty and know-it-all. We're simply saying that every time someone messes up their phone and don't know how to fix it they call it "bricked". Almost every day we see a post about a bricked phone and 99 % of them turn out to be just another newbie trying to root the device or some other mistake.

that is true..

Are there any root methods that work for 1.85?

I've tried the 3 or 4 that have been in the dev forums, all with errors and failures, and abd out of date or something.
Ive tried the one clicks
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-htc-one-xl-att-one-x-1-85-update-with-just-one-click/
and methods from OneXRoot.com

The one click root in the dev forum DOES work, and is currently the only root method for 1.85. I have used it 4 times now without issue. If you are having trouble getting it to work, ask for help in that thread, it's what it is there for.

Yes, that one. If it doesn't work you need to set your date ahead 2 days and try again, as it says in the OP. You might still get a couple errors but check to see if SuperSU is installed and check if the SU binary is installed.

Progress! The next time will work, I can feel it

Haha, i edited my previous post. It worked, thanks again lol!

You just have to keep trying and make sure that each new try you move the date up 2 days. I actually had to use the 1.85 RUU to restore my phone because of some problem that made the storage read/write speed nonexistent so the launcher wouldn't even load.
So if it continues to not work for you, maybe you just have to use the RUU to restore your phone and then try it again.

Speaking of unlocking my bootloader
Following these directions:
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-att-one-x-bootloader
It tells me to click on Unlock-Bootloader.bat, but that file isnt even included in the zip that I downloaded.

Yeah they need to update the instructions. Click spoof-cid.bat.
And you gotta stop going to these other sites for this stuff. Everything you need can be found in xda's dev section. It's where everything originates from anyways so might as well go right to the source

I'm pretty sure I'm rooted because I see SuperSU on my app list (I opened it and clicked update).

[Q] Beyond Fed Up-Attempt to ROOT TF700

I have never been more frustrated working with a device and don't know why, maybe I am losing my touch haha i have rooted both my S2 and now my S3 with little to no issues
About a month after I got my TF700 the performance went all to ****, so I pretty much stopped using it, now that I use ever note everyday for work and travel more I want it to work proper and not be slow like it is.
I have been TRYING to root for days now, I even tried to find someone to pay to just do it for me because I don't care about pissing around with it and no one in my city can do it for me or that I could find.
I have Unlocked via the Asus unlock tool, have read numerous threads on here and attempted to root via Scotts method, no success, it always "cant find device" same with MotoChopper, couldn't find device.
I deleted and removed all Asus drivers from my computer, and then installed the "naked" drivers found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766220
Motochopper now finds the device, starts Daemon and then just "hangs" on that screen no matter how long, and Scotts tool still cant find the device for some reason.
I have read through threads on here and am just fed up, can someone please point me in the right direction? **** I will even paypal you some money to remote in and just at-least get it working so I can root it and find a clean ROM without all the ASUS bloatware garbage.
I use about 5 apps total on this tablet and just want it to work fast and smooth for the $400 I spent on it which I know i can do if i get a new ROM.

If all fails - try the fastboot method to push TWRP 2.5 to your tablet.
Then use TWRP to install a custom rom (this way you don't have to mess with root). I would recommend CROMi-X 4.6.5, but you would have to flash the JB 4.2 bootloader first. Instructions are in the OP of the CROMi-X thread.
Download the Android SDK package, put it into the root of your C:/ drive on the computer.
Inside the folder "Platform Tools" you will find the fastboot.exe
Download the TWRP 2.5 blob and put it into the same folder as the fastboot.exe

Did you disable the Media app on your device? You could also do a factory reset to put your device back to an original stage before trying to root again.

finally, so bloody confusing, I still don't even know how it worked, it did not boot into the black menu or anything, it just rooted,rebooted and i just checked it via Rootchecker and it granted superuser access and verified my root.
Thanks guys! on to putting on a custom Rom

I am glad that you got it working. You will be happy with a custom rom. One more thing, you have to ensure that you have the latest bootloader and latest recovery before flashing the custom rom. I have heard a few stories that people bricked their devices because of incompatible bootloader and recovery. Good luck.

+1 for that! Glad you got root! It looks as if you were just one step away from pushing the recovery through ADB. Root would not have been necessary in that case because all custom roms are rooted.
But you do need TWRP 2.5 with any JB 4.2 bootloader! Make sure you have the correct recovery installed!
If you want to try CROMi-X, flash the bootloader/TWRP package first! That way you definitely have the correct bootloader - recovery combination.
And make sure you boot back into your old rom once after the bootloader flash and before you flash the rom. Do not flash both in one session, the rom flash would wipe the bootloader flash and then you don't have a bootloader anymore. Not a good scenario......

Huuuh? When you hit the home button in TWRP, or "back" a couple of times, you should have a screen with Install, backup, Mount and a bunch of other options. Or reboot and then back into TWRP. It's the first screen that comes up
BTW, before you go any further. Did you make a backup of your old rom in TWRP? If not, I would seriously suggest you do that before you flash anything new!

BTW, before you go any further. Did you make a backup of your old rom in TWRP? If not, I would seriously suggest you do that before you flash anything new!

Wow I just realized it is because I was holding my Tablet Vertical and not Horizontal, once I lay it down Horizontal and reboot TWRP everything changes including my options and menu look.
I checked off /zip sig verification and installed, it says successful but i am still not getting an updated bootloader when I check it in my About System menu??
Thanks

Are looking in About Tablet for your bootloader version?
That's not correct anymore. As soon as you flash custom stuff, the only way to tell your BL version is to power up with Volume Down and Power button and read the tiny script when the bootloader menu comes up.

[Q] Bricked, only fastboot is working

Hello.
My English is quite bad, and I'm sorry for that. Anyway, I hope that someone of you can help me with my problem, and will understand what I wanted to say.
So, at first I unlocked bootloader. After that, with InsecureBootandRoot script I wanted to root phone. When I did it, in "cmd" it stuck on "Daemon started successfully".
From then, I can't run my phone. Bootloader is working, fastboot USB aswell. I tried to install few recoverys, but none of them were working. ADB is also not working, it can't see my device(Probably because it's not working in fastboot. And if my phone is not in fastboot, computer don't recognise my device). Also, I can't "throw" any files to phone because computer see my device only in fastboot.
I tried to use HTC ONE S AIO kit . It show me my CID(HTC 0_32) and version(3.16.401.8), but that's all. Other commands are not working at all.
I also installed sdk and all drivers. That didn't help, meh.
Any ideas what should I do to have my phone working again? :c

There is no matching RUU, but i will upload you the matching boot+recovery. Will take some minutes. Download both files and flash them via fastboot.

Anyway thanks for the answer, didn't knew someone is going to help me so fast :3.

oh well, I'm quite shocked.
When I bought this phone, they told me that it's 560e.
But I looked now, and it's Z520e.
Sorry for that, didn't knew that I have S4. Can you upload files for S4 again?

I have checked the link. The script "only" flashes a kernel (boot.img) + Superuser app. Flashing a new kernel should work for you. What command did you use to flash the boot.img ??

fastboot flash boot boot.img and then fastboot flash boot recovery.img
I'll try uninstalling sdk and all drivers, and then install them using tutorial from this forum. Maybe it will be easier, when adb will work .-.

Did you restart the bootloader after flashing? Have you cleared caches via fastboot also??
BTE adb will not help you without at least a working recovery...

Which command I should use to restart it?
And yeah, I cleared caches.
And thanks for trying to help me, I really appreciate it. U're wasting your time because some teenager destroyed his phone ._. . Oh god, I'm stupid.

When I tried to run bootloader, it showed me this:

Thats PhilZ CWM Perfect, you have a working recovery I'm off for 30 minutes. I can assisst you via Teamviewer when i'm back, if you want.

Not at all, these commands under it mean that anything in recovery won't work.
Also, from now I can't even start bootloader ._. .
Oh well, I'll just give this phone to the service. If they can't turn it on, and also turn on bootloader, can they say to me something like "Hey, you tried to change system of this phone so we won't give you another one"?. :c

Philz has a option to boot into bootloader. Have you tried it? If you give it to service they'll recognize that you have modified thze phone. As you were able to flash philz, you should also be able to flash boot+recovery image. Then you'll have to perform "factory reset + clear storage" to fix the sd card issue. I'm sure its possible! Once done you can install a rom manually or change the CID to run a stock RUU EU unbranded.
As your warranty is void I'd suggest to fix it o ya own

Factory Reset, result: "Unfortunately, Android System has stopped"

AT&T D850, rooted, still running 4.4.2.
Yesterday having terrific wifi connection problems...on all wifi.
After hours of work, decided to Factory Reset.
Did on-phone software-based backup and factory reset.
Upon reboot, I get black box message: "Unfortunately, Android System has stopped"
I've had a phone repair teck look at it and he could not get very far. You can actually hit "OK" after the message and y get a microsecond to try and hit something on the screen. he was trying to clear the storage cache.
So, after numerous retries at hardware (button) based factory reset with same results, I'm the owner of a bricked device. Although I rooted to get rid of AT&T trash on the phone, I had little interest in custom ROMS and was afraid of bricking my phone. And after a simple factory reset, that's apparently exactly what happened.
So as if this point, I have a data connection with the carrier, and I can access internal memory via USB...but obviously I cannot go into settings and enable Developer Options or USB Debugging or anything like that.
What are my options to restructure things running purely thru a PC/USB connection?
Any help would be SINCERLEY appreciated.

I think your misunderstanding it, I think your looking at the ads and not the actual download link.
After you enter the code it will count down 8 seconds then you can click download. It brings you to a page with the download link.
That's the download link you then click.

For example, when trying to dl the last link...I get a big circle link at the top to dl something about CCD Color Camerara...at the bottom there are three smaller circles...for Fix Windows Update, Start Download/Update Windows 10 Drivers, and Free Driver Upgrades by sparktrust.com.

OK- I have all files from other sources. Step 2: Install LG Drivers. I'm sorry- I'm really not a stupid person, but I don't know how to "install".
Do I copy the files in the zip to a certain place in the internal memory of the G3?

Well, OK, I just ran the LG Drivers and it installed to C;\drive.
So , the next step, Install Flashtool...How does this happen? I extracted everything in the zip to it's own folder. I don't see how to install this to the c:\drive.

You extract it and run it. It doesn't install.

When I click on the FlashTool application, I get a dialog box with bunch of parameters.
