[Q] Soft Bricked - HTC One S

OK Guys, I'm in big trouble right now. I wanted to install a Kernel. I was on Viperrom 2.1.0. Something went wrong and my phone went into a bootloop. After trying a couple of things(like installing another Kernel) Everything went from bad to worst. Now my whole Internal Memory is erased and there's still a bootloop. Luckily I can access my TWRP Recovery, but i can't mount my sdcard, because it says thats it's unable to mount sdcard. How can I transfer a rom to my sdcard so I can install it?

Sounds like your internal memory may be corrupted. Have you tried flashing stock recovery?

Relock your bootloader
Flash stock ruu
Start from scratch
Always worked for me

Could you please explain it a bit more on how to do al that?

Installing the original recovery worked for me. The only problem is that when I install a custom rom my phone still goes into a bootloop.. SDcard can be mounted though..

If you can get in in recovery(TWRP) try to delete SD card or phone storage and than mount and transfer the rom that you want.

if you want me to help you my brother, take my advice, i was an iphone heavy user but now i am 100% Android fan-boy, when i had the iphone previously i have encountered a prob like this, after days of heavy research in addition to my experience, you need simply to reset your phone motherboard !!! you can do this simply by two methods :
1- You need to self open your phone or by an experimenter and unplug your motherboard/battery cable, wait for 1 to 2 minutes and plug it again the phone will work again do kernel install and Bla Bla Bla .....
2- It may be take some time, but, it also works, leave your phone woke until the battery is completely drained, leave it for more 1 week to make sure that you haven't any current in the battery, charge it again fully and power on it, it should work and do the rest ...
NOTE : i have been an iphone repairer, i've tried to two methods and it works fine .
Cordially.

Then you are not installing rom correctly--
So, you can flash a rom thru twrp, you can mount sdcard also, right?
I would back up sdcard to pc at this point to be safe
you probably have no nandroids on phone or pc, correct?
you also are not giving enough info as to kernels and roms you are flashing and exact steps to do it
are you S4 version on phone
most likely issues are you are not wiping all, including system 3x. and not flashing boot image with rom
don't do any iphone stuff--

You're jokin' or what?
I do also prefer the method of relocking the bootloader and flashing RUU. That always helped me when everything went wrong...

Man are you trolling or what--
In post 1 he says he can access TWRP and can't mount sdcard.
In post 5 he now has original recovery and can mount sdcard.
And we are not sure telling the OP to take is phone apart when he is having issues flashing a rom is the best idea. You may be advanced, he "may" not be.
Either way hope he gets it--

[Q] Nexus S 4G won't boot past Google Screen!!

I tried rooting my phone, but when I flashed CWM my Nexus S stopped booting... it freezes on the Google screen in the intro. I can boot into Fastboot, and cwm, but I cant connect the Internal memory to the computer without it booting like it is supposed to. Does anybody know of anything I can do to fix my phone and bring it back to stock??
There are guides for returning to stock stickied in the Nexus S 4G Android Development forum.
Before you do that though, try flashing a different recovery, like the one linked to here or here.
Btw, which guide did you use? You're not the first person to have this problem, and it's really bugging me (though probably not as much as it's bugging you :-o).
Maximilian Mary: I tried to post the link, but since I'm a new member I have to wait 8 posts before I can post a URL.... :/
I will try a different recovery, but how would I flash a rom if I can connect my phone via usb mount?

I'm a little out of my depth here, but I think it's
fastboot flash system system.img.
You don't need to put the rom image on the sdcard. Just put it in the same folder as fastboot.
It was titled "How to Root Nexus S!"
And I will try to flash recovery and try that rom command, thank you )

There's a button for that.
I got the link. Thanks. I looks like you flashed a boot image that is incompatible with your phone. That guide was for the T-Mobile Nexus S. (Why they're screwing with the boot.img to begin with, I really don't understand.)
Download the attached file, and unzip it to the same folder as fastboot. The md5 sum is d4a9508f9321eb25df3383f00f571e8b. Then
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You'll probably also want to use one of the recoveries listed above to
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
, but leave system alone for now. Flash that only as a last resort.

OMG!! im having the same issue. could you please post the link for ODIN so i can return to stock and take it from there please? I rely on my phone so much and i need it asap thank you.
same problem with me.
but in my case, the phone not only freeze after the google logo before boot. I tried several times to pull the battery and start the phone again, it took several times until the phone can boot normally again.
After that, my nexus s can work as usual. but it only takes 3-4 hour until it freeze/hangs or reboot automatically and show image of green robot lay down with red alert triangle...
sometimes I noticed all application force closed like gmail, gtalk, etc. (its a basic apps instead of 3rd party app)
History :
- root GB 2.37 using superoneclick
- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04
- problem happens
- root using guide : nexusshacks.com
- unroot using guide : nexusshacks.com
- back to factory setting on GB 2.34
- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04
- Still got that problem.....
I'm using Nexus S 4G Sprint, pls help me guys...
nexus s won't boot
I had the same problem and read elsewhere that heating the phone with a hairdryer solves the problem.
I must say, indeed it did.
I removed the battery and the SIM card, then heated up the phone (so it really feels warm) put back the battery and sim and simsalebim the phone started again. and is still working since (now already a few day's)
It seems that a component in the phone is heat sensitive, the question in my mind is when will this show again and do I need to consider buying a new phone.
But sofar it works
PS I also tried hard reset factory reset the lot, but in the end only heating up helped.
Good luck, David
I fixed this problem! but I had to wipe all user data by rooting it using nexusrootICS. It finally boots up and the phone works now... that's all I need.

[how to] simply ext4 gb

When it comes down to it here's the order to get ext4 and nameless kernel on your GB rom only.
MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING FILES.
EP1H ON PC http://www.multiupload.com/MU_PRZ9RUD9ZZ
NEW CWM ON PC http://www.multiupload.com/31963EOUA0 *MUST DELETE MD5 EXTENSION
EXT4 FORMAT ALL ON SD http://www.mediafire.com/?6hx7f8g7c8vv6xz
KERNEL CLEANUP SCRIPT ON SD http://www.mediafire.com/?302ofs64v4ibp9l
NAMELESS KERNEL ON PC. http://www.multiupload.com/M7UYRWDE4R *MUST DELETE MD5 EXTENSION
Wipe all
Odin EP1F/H Leak
Odin new CWM (orange) *MUST REINSERT BATTERY BEFORE YOU ODIN THIS
Wipe all again
In CWM Flash ext4 format all
In CWM Mount system, data, etc. NOTE* MUST MOUNT EXTSTORAGE
In CWM Flash your rom one that supports this... (preferably Eclipse touchwiz)
In CWM Flash kernel cleanup script
Odin Nameless Kernel *MUST REINSERT BATTERY BEFORE YOU ODIN THIS
reboot...samsung will flash about 6 to 8 times before it boots
P.S. Forget the quadrant score once you get this you can feel the power your device was meant to have. However I score in the 1500s.
And here I thought I tried every combination of things lol. I will give this a try once my childrens go to bed. How is that eclipse rom btw? Everything stable and working? If you have time will you provide links to all the necessary files. If not I can rewrite the OP for you with all of them in there.
I would greatly appreciate if the OP had links to all the necessary files. I'm dying to get the most out of this amazing device but this site is somewhat difficult to navigate even with the attempts to establish a template for naming threads.

I already had most of the files sitting on my drive where I have been trying every combination to get it working, but you sir have figured it out and I am infinitely thankful.
I'm on the galaxy S screen now, so it looks like everything is going to go well.
EDIT:::
And everything booted fine and the mount command displays my partitions as EXT4! Great job OP.

eclipse is awesome and stable. The only reason it has a bug or 2 (nothing major) is because the gb leak came like that. I am very picky and extremely happy with this setup. Now that im on this i will never return to ee4.:d

In recovery you can see the option to wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and in advanced recovery you will see wipe dalvik. Doing this is what i mean by wipe all.

Ok another question:
Why would you want the new recovery (minus the md5 extension) on the SD card when you are using ODIN to push it to the phone? Wouldn't you want it on the phone? In the steps it says on SD.
Sorry I've never flashed kernels only roms so this is new for me.

The new CWM stays on your PC and you Odin it. You have to erase the MD5 extension for it to work. Just follow those steps exactly and you will be fine. The dev that created the CWM created it to be flashed thru Odin.

I understand that. I erased the md5 extension and it turned into a zip file. The instructions say on SD in the OP. That's why I was confused. So I shouldn't put it on the SD card, correct
EDIT:
It turned into a tar file when I deleted the extension, not zip

[Q] One Week trying to save a P920 and Failed [ Help Appreciated ]

Hello Everyone,
So I've been dealing with a P920 for the last 7 days trying to Flash it and it's not working.
1- Device is booting to Android but all applications are crashing ( unexpected error com.x.x ) force close.
2- I tried LG recover mode, phone flashed but once successful and rebooted, same error upon loading desktop.
3- Tried rooting the phone with SuperOneClick2.3 ; Rooting successful, upon reboot, rooting is lost
4- Downloaded KDZ original firmware V21A Europe based from lg-firmware site and used offline installation ( shttps + modified host file etc..) . Installation successful and flashing is OK; rebooting = same error on startup.
5- Downloaded firmware V10B and flashed it successfully. Rebooted, phone version is still showing V21A !
6- Rooted phone + installed CWM -> successful, rebooted, it's gone.
Now this is the first time since 10 years that I get into such thing and the device is getting me on my nerves.
Any idea or advice is much appreciated!
Well
Looks like a hardware issue. ROM, RAM, Internal memory. U need to find a way to delete partitions and re do them somehow. Have no idea if there is a software for that. I had it for my SGS. It should help.
Just repartition whole internal memory.

Hello MinedSafe; As I mentioned earlier, whenever I root the device and reboot, it's not rooted anymore. It is not possible to install CWM ( changes are not applied )
I have managed to root the device and tried the parted command, I get command not found.
I have noticed that once I get into the stock recover and wipe everything, I do not get the first welcome screen to setup the device, it's booting with the same error.
I have started to lose hope. Device is no longer under warranty

It looks like the partitions are damaged or eprom/rom ( no commands ) memory is gone. So the only way is to send this to LG service where they can upgrade/rapair with their 'hardware' tools. If you try on you own you might get to a stage where even they wont be able to fix it.
What kind of software you where putting in to it ? Froyo or GB ?

Another person, so its now more likely then when upgrading the partition table was screwed up. It could be a mistake in addressing the memory when flashing.

Boot stops at 'Google', can't mout sdcard in cwm

Hi,
since this morning I have this problem that my Nexus S just boots until the Google logo appears.
I have no idea what caused this. I was just reinstalling the youtube app and rebooted after that and it booted.
Then I noticed that my phone would not change the screen orientation and because it worked in the past I started another reboot. But then it got stuck at the Google logo.
To solve this problem I just wanted to flash my nandroid backup but that didn't work as well cause the recovery was not able to mount the sdcard.
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? By the way is it possible to pull the Nandroid backup from the phone to my computer with ADB for example. Would be great because (of course) I just have an backup on my phone... (but if not... well, **** happens)
Thanks in advance!

Go to mounts and storage in CWM Recovery and "mount usb storage". That will let you get to your SD card to backup. Then I suggest just a clean wipe and start over.
Note: mount /sdcard just mounts it to the phone. You are wanting to mount it to your computer to pull the files off the external.

Yup thank you. Already tried that and a lot of other stuff. Seems like my phone's broken. I can't write on or erase /system or /sdcard. I'll try today to lock the bootloader and then unlock it. Maybe that solves the problem...
It will also wipe everything if I remember well

Yes you're right. But I really can't think of any thing I could try.

It's interesting and maybe fortuite that this is happening to you just as something almost equal happens to me (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1972447 ) You should also enter the recovery via adb from your computer if you have it, and check if a) you have mmc* files in /dev/block and b) have mmc error messages in dmesg (in the phone: "dmesg|grep mmc" and look for lines with "error" in them).
Btw to the person who suggested flashing stock thorough fastboot, do you mean stock system, system+boot or system+boot+recovery ? and where could I find those stock .img please? Mine's an i9020a

Factory Images for Nexus Devices
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Hi ^^
I had the same problem with my Nexus S a long time ago and never found out how to solve it. It seems that the internal memory is corrupted and nothing but replacing the motherboard can solve it. Since I bought mine in the USA but I live in Belgium I never got mine repaired. Sometimes I come back here to see if there is still no solution but each time I'm disappointed...
Sorry.

I can confirm this. I had the same thing happen to my Nexus S 4G recently. I was never able to salvage any data off the sdcard no matter what I tried (various mounting attempts in recovery, any adb command I thought might be helpful, etc.). As a last resort I tried to lock/unlock the bootloader - once I locked it, I was unable to unlock it again, it just froze up after asking me if I was sure I wanted to unlock. I guess that's what happens when the internal sdcard goes to hell. I ended up taking it to my local Sprint store and they replaced the phone with a refurbished one from Samsung (for approximately $35).

[Q] Galaxy Note 1 I717 Stock Flash won't fix boot loop

I received a Galaxy Note 1 I717 (AT&T) and it was in a bootloop. I have experience with flashing stock roms through Odin and fixing bootloops that way. So after going through recovery mode, wiping, flashing, I am still getting put into a bootloop after a successful flash on Odin. I've spent 2 days with this and tried all the little suggestions of wiping before flashing, using the original roms from XDA , trying some other stock roms specifically for my model and I'm still left with a bootloop. I'm capable of getting into download and recovery, and I've actually gotten different stock recovery modes! So the flashes are working, but it just won't boot up correctly. I looked around for the U.S. version of the Pit CSC Phone and PDA to try and re partition it, but they are absolutely NOWHERE! Any help would be greatly appreciated, whether it's a ROM suggestion, the re partition files, or whatever else.

A bad kernel can be the cause of this problem. Try and search for a custom kernel for your device and flash it.
I hope this will solve your problem.

OK, download these files and put them on your device:
Rom: http://goo.gl/81TamM
Gapps (important!): http://goo.gl/ws5KZF
Then follow these steps exactly:
1. Boot to recovery (CWM or whatever you use)
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Dalvik cache (advanced-> wipe dalvik cache)
5. Flash rom
7. Flash the gapps
This must work, if it doesn't, please say it, maybe I can help you further.

My bad for not properly explaining my situation, the note is stuck in a boot loop. So I can't upload files to it through drag and drop in USB. It's still capable of flashing through Odin and going into recovery with CWM, but there's no way I know of putting files onto a boot looping phone.

Oh it does, would I just put those files onto a good sd card via a working phone and THEN put it into the Note?

Yes of course, or put the files with a computer on the SDCard.
If you've put the files onto the SDCard, insert it to your Note, and follow the steps on my previous post.

Alright, so on my good phone I threw the 2 zips on my extra SD card. Then I put that SD card in the note, went into CWM, wiped the necessary areas as you said, and the dead android with a red triangle appeared. It's a long error, but the end says Error in /sdcard/cm-10.1.3-quincyatt.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Are you sure you gave me the right ROM to install?

Status 7 means the device is incompatible, but that's impossible since we have the right ROM for your device.
OK just be sure, I'll give you another ROM and you must follow the other steps, but with the different files of course.
ROM: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/...CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20131015-0513-quincyatt.zip
Google Apps: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
This is an Android 4.3.1 ROM so you're really up to date with this one.
Put these on a SD Card and follow the given steps in my other post.
This one has to work.

Hate to say it, but installed the new ROM file and got the same exact message. Right now I'm on CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 and I flashed to stock before this, thanks for all of the help so far. Any suggestions?

Do you know for sure you're on a Galaxy Note i717 AT&T?
Because 2 roms incompatible is almost impossible.

Sorry for not getting back in a while, thanks for all the effort you've been putting into helping out.
I'm 100% positive, I'm looking at the back below where the battery goes and it says SGH-I717. I thought that model number meant for sure it was AT&T. I live in the states also if that helps.

But don't you think it's maybe a Chinese replica with a different kernel?
If you got it cheap, that might be the case.
And can you please thank my posts?
Because the few clicks you do, help me a lot

No it was definitely bought in the US, legit from a phone store.

So, for my understanding, you bought it new from the store and rooted it and then got in a bootloop?
Can you please tell me how you came in the bootloop, did you get it with flashing a ROM or a kernel etc.?

I bought it from a friend because they had it in a boot loop. Everything on it was completely stock since they were your average user, I'm pretty sure this isn't a hardware issue either if that helps because randomly after flashing CWM one time it actually booted up and I was able to use the phone. But after rebooting, it bootlooped again :\. I haven't been able to replicate this again sadly.
