On that screen, hit the back button.

That did nothing

Curious, are you even rooted?? Lol.

Try the search key.

I don't think so. I don't know how to do any of this stuff lol. I need someone to walk me thru with it all.all I know is I downloaded something on my computer the other day and now it says my phone is unlocked.

The file you named is a ROM for rooted users.
Here's a guide on how to root your Nexus S 4G.

OK that worked. I'm rooted now. I'm redownloading ice dirty alpha 3.6. That's the most recent right?

Correct.
Download it and put into onto the phone. Then post back here and I'll help you install it.

Do I just drag and drop onto the SD card. Or do I put it in a particular folder. Like the root folder
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

Nope. Just the sdcard part. Not "system" or anything.

Alright I think.I got it from here. So all I do after this is done is power off and press volume up and power then recovery and install from zip or whatever. Right?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

Wipe first just in case then yes, install from zip and choose the file.

If I wipe wouldn't It remove the file I just put?

[Q] Htc inspire boot problem

Hey there this is my first post here.
I have problems with my HTC INSPIRE 4G.
When i shut down or reboot my device take a long time in black screen, after that HTC logo an vibrating.. it takes like 5 minutes, i mean 5 minutes vibrating. after that vibrating stops and short time after that the CM9 logo and start. the whole process is about 10 minutes.
I don´t know if this is a hardware problem or software. Today i was trying to update my radio with fastboot. but i don´t even finish the process. in the part of ADB reboot, the device reboot and since that the problem is present.
What can i do? i can not get into recovery mode or bootloader.
i made a little research and over there is a procedure for fixing the soft brick with fastboot, but i don´t know if this is a brick or what.
Please Help
PS. Sorry for the bad english.

Your bootloader is messed up. Did you buy your phone used or did you root it yourself.

See if you can use aahk to flash a newer hboot version. It may not be able to because of the slowness. You can also use a PD98IMG to flash hboot from bootloader. I would try the aahk method first though.

I tried the aahk and it stuck right after i select option 1. What you mean with the PD98IMG? I can not access top bootloader right now

Im triying one more time the aahk and it is working but now is in the part when the device supouse to restart and it says "waiting for device"
and the device i taking a long to reboot. i will wait and post the results.
TY

the aahk is stoped in writing "ZIP"....
What if i close the windows and try again?

Do you know how to use adb. You can boot to bootloader from pc using adb with the "adb reboot bootloader" command. If you can I have a PD98IMG you can load onto root of sd card that will prompt to install from bootloader screen. Due to the slowness though you will have to be patient.

You place that file in the root of your sd card (outside of any and all folders). Once you are in hboot, the system will check for it automatically, then it will ask you if you want to apply the update.

As teichopsia said load it on root of sd and boot into bootloader. When using adb to reboot you will end up in fastboot and will need to select bootloader. Give it time after that to find the image. Also in the future you will want to flash radios using the same method. All inspire radios are packed into a PD98IMG. You shouldn't need fastboot to do anything.

Hi there...
i just follow the indications listed here.. everything is OK.

Need a little help rooting. Instructions are not working.

Hello all,
So I just picked up a Galaxy Note 10.1 today and of course I went to root it. I found instructions on several sites and they are all the same, so I figured I would just do it. I went with the instructions at http://rootgalaxynote.com/ and here is the issue:
I copied the SU file to the internal storage and took the MicroSD out just to be sure.
I booted into the unit using the power+volume down and then hit the power up to continue.
Got the downloading screen and ran Odin. Selected the "highonandroid..." into PDA and hit start. It went through and showed it was successful/passed.
I rebooted and then held down the power+up volume until the logo appeared and then let go of the power but continued holding the power up button per the instructions.
Instead of going into CWM it goes into "Android system recovery <3e>" with a dead Android dude with the red exclamation point.
The unit still boots fine into Android, but when I repeated the above steps it shows:
Product Name: GT-N8013
Custom Binary Downloaded: Yes (4 counts) (yes, tried it 4 times to see if I was just doing something wrong)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Now I did buy this tablet used, so I don't know what the previous owner might have done, but it seems what I'm doing should work regardless.
I've been Googling and searching here for about 2 hours now and I can't find anything that talks about this issue or what I can do to fix it. Would love to get this back to ground zero with a factory image but I can't even find the N8013 image. I looked on the sammobile.com site or whatever and only see the N8010 which might not be the same.
So if there is anyone that can help, I sure would appreciate it!

The problem seemed to be installing CWM. All of the other websites missed one key step that I noticed slightly different on here. So to help others in my dilemma, I'll point it out here.
When you go to use Odin to install CWM, turn off the checkbox for auto-reboot. Then, instead of rebooting, hold down the power and volume up key until it reboots and you get the logo. Then release the power button but keep pressing the volume up key.
Doing this allowed me to get into CWM and flash the SU zip file.
Hope this helps others. I'm going to have to send Zedomax a note to update his video!

Glad you got it working..

Yes unless you boot into CWM immediately after installing ODIN the system will override the stock recovery

Need help...no rom or os on my phone : \

Hey guys I kinda fubar my phone. Maybe one of you can help me. So I was messing with my phone today trying to install a different rom than cm10 and I wasn't thinking or something and I erased my phone. I don't have any roms for me to access on the phone and there is no os. The erase also got ride of my backup. My computer sees my phone but i can't see any files. I can boot to twrp and see the files but i'm guessing since i don't have the debug option clicked off I won't be able to move a rom to it. The phone tries to boot but since there is no OS it just get stuck at the white htc screen.
Is there any way to flash my phone using my computer?
is there a way to move a rom to the phone so i can load it using twrp?
sorry for being a noob. I've been a iphone user until this htc one x. I love it btw. I should have switched sooner. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance. :crying:

Mount in twrp and drag a Rom over you may have to mount your sd

Try dragging and dropping the zip file from your computer to SD. Use TWRP to flash zip. If you can find a rom you like with Aroma installer it should make the process less painful and you will not have to flash boot image.
HTC One X
4.1.1
Viper XL 3.1.0

If your completely wiped, I imagine you did a factory reset in boot loader, which probably corrupted SD... If the above advice doesn't work, you'll have to mount in twrp, and format SD... Then drag ROM onto phone and flash... Good luck

How do you transfer files to your SD card though when it doesn't let you connect it to your PC as a storage device?
Am I missing something regarding the mount feature of TWRP?

You do not have to connect your phone as a storage device. You can connect your phone to the computer while it is in fastboot.
Your computer will still see it.
AT&T HTC OneX
Android 4.1.1
ViperXL

Since your a new, flash the ViperXL JB ROM that one flashes the boot.IMG for you. It will be less of a pain that way. Good Luck

So this is exactly what I did...
I've followed the directions for the ViperOne S ROM word for word, and after I run the batch file for the boot flash and go to reboot, it tells me there is no OS every time. I wish this was as easy as it was for the original Galaxy S.....

Yes, every device is very different, and specific ROMs can have their own issues as well. Somebody here can easily give you advice that doesn't apply to your device, and cause you to brick. Just post in the correct forum section for your device. There is no reason to post here.
