Been running the deodexed UCMC1 with stock kernel until i got my replacement batteries today.
Turns out they had a different model # (EB585157VK, SERIAL AAaD702QS/5-B 2013.07.02) and were slightly thinner then the stock battery (the seller had a skyrocket one pictured on ebay).
Anyway they seem like legit OEM.
I get all stupid and exited to have new batteries and instead of powering off the phone from the menu i just pull out the stock battery and insert the new one. :highfive: (cynical mental highfive)
Phone is now stuck at above samsung logo and cwm only goes as far as the logo and version number, no menu no nothing.
I've read about the same problem someone had with an S3 mini here.
Will odin help me?

Maybe, have you pulled the battery, let it sit for a few minutes and put the old battery in?

Yes, it didn't help.
I've tried flashing the Rogers JB rom and an old CWM in odin.
The old CWM worked but doesn't find the internal SD. When I mount the USB from CWM to PC the internal SD is shown in windows explorer but it's grayed out while the external SD is accesible like it is in CWM.
I tried flashing CWM touch 6.0.3.3 from inside old CWM and it flashed fine but it stops booting at the CWM logo again..
The Rogers rom flashes the glowing samsung logo and the screen turns black..

Mohan had a zip that restored the pre-load partition. You might give that a try.

all this because you pulled out battery while phone was on, sh*t, ive done it many times w/out issues but wont be doing it anymore
did you try booting with the old battery
when you flashed firmware w/odin did you reset/wipe b4 booting into rom
try flashing twrp w/odin then reset/wipe b4 booting into rom

It's fine though, old CWM 5xxx shows install zip from SD and install zip from internal SD and it's the opposite in new CWM. So it turns out SD is fine, phew Problem is i think it looks for backups only on external so i can't access my backup.
mohans preload fixer didn't help.
I'll try TWRP now.

Wipe in old CWM didn't help but it did in TWRP!!! Thank you Vincom i bow to you in gratitude. :highfive::laugh:
It said it couldn't find E:\android..but formatting went fine.
Booted up to Rogers JB but gallery and phone crashes in background of welcome wizard.
But i flashed the preload fix in between all of this.. so it was probably because of that.
Flashed Rogers JB from Odin again and now it works!
Next time I will turn phone

Good to hear you got it working again

when flashing stock and having boot up problems and such, resetting and wiping the caches with stock recovery usually solves it 99% of the time

[Q] HELP!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, so I have alreadty posted some threads on different forums, but I hope I can get some *real* help in here
So here´s my case:
Dead miniUSB connector(phone)
Flashed(mein fault) wrong kernel
Can ONLY access default recovery.
NO RSD access}
This phone is not sold in my country
Nobody would fix it's dead connector
I have no other phone, nor I can afford yo buy a new one, this one *was* working perfectly (besides the dead usb plug) I can charge the battery with a universal charger,I can only upload software to it via standard-factory recovery.
Any chance to get it working again? for now it just boot-loops.

Get a sdcard reader, stick it to your computer, copy a ROM zip that includes the right kernel for your sdcard (CM7 or any other that includes a kernel), put it back into your phone, reboot into recovery, install zip, wipe data/cache and dalvik cache then reboot and see if it works.
edit:
you can only acess STOCK recovery, then maybe you can try flashing the bootmenu first (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196590&highlight=bootmenu) by copying to your sdcard too with a sdcard reader, flash it from stock recovery, reboot and see if the blue led blinks, if yes then press volume up/down, enter clockworkmod recovery and do the steps above.
if it does not work then im out of ideas.

Why the hell would you mess with the phone if you know the usb port is dead??
Anyways, time to try to help. Get an sd card reader, put it in a flash drive, find a froyo kernel zip and rename it to update.zip and place it in the root directory of the sd card , put the memory card back into the phone, boot into stock recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, apply update.zip
Get back to us on this one.

afaik milestone 2's stock recovery can't flash kernel or an entire custom ROM, you need clockworkmod 3 (provided by the custom bootmenu) or above for that purpose.

I think, that stock recovery can flash kernel and / or entire rom, as OTA updates are made, but zip must be signed with motorola private key ..

yea, i think that he needs the bootmenu in order to flash a custom rom (cm9, cm7 or whatever), or like you said a signed update from motorola, but i dont think we can find one.
anyways, im afraid that even flashing the bootmenu he will not able to get into it.
The plug is standard plug. You can buy it in any electronic schop. Any mobile phone service can replace it. It's simple and fast. Only 5 pins to soldier.
I said rename it!
I said to download a kernel, rename it to update.zip and flash it! I'll also upload a picture of my stock recovery so you can see what to select.

Hello everybody, I have similar problem.
My Mile2 is bootlopping the Motorola logo, I tried flashing various stock roms by RSD lite without result. Also not to get into the stock recovery by pressing X and @. Is there any other way to go back to work?
Sorry my poor english..
Do you can get into recovery with ! symbol? in android 2.3 you must prec vol - and vol + at the same time to get in there. You can also try flas newest sbf. If you flash 2.3 before now you can't flash 2.2. (maby this is your problem)

[MOD][TEST] ART WhatsApp Fix 4.4

I happened on this post whilst trying to get some SystemUI.apk mods to take on ART:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47604251#post47604251
I tried the modified libart.so file by @cernekee on my Moto X VZW Dev Ed (because a working phone needs to be broken fixed) and it seems to work. I've made a flashable file to remove the leftover WhatsApp parts and flash the new libart.so if you'd like to give it a go.
Steps to install:
1. Switch to ART. (You need to have stock SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex - see attached).
2. Flash zip in recovery
3. DO NOT WIPE DALVIK/CACHE
4. Reboot and profit reinstall WhatsApp from Play Store if needed.
As usual, make a backup first and please don't flash this if you are uncomfortable fixing a bootlooped phone!

If you screw up and wipe dalvik/cache, just flash the stock libart.so zip (attached) reboot then reflash the Mod.
Will this work on the brazilian firmware?
No clue. But this is a Nexus 5 libart.so and it's working on a Vzw Moto X so it most likely should. This isn't something I'd try with a locked bootloader though.
Just tried here and it's working perfeclty! Thank you!
I didn't even have to reinstall Whatsapp.
One question though: what happens if I try to wipe cache one day? Will it bootloop the phone?

Yes but the fix is easy:
Hold power button (shut off) > boot to fastboot > boot to recovery > flash the stock libart.so > reboot > flash nexus 5 libart.so > reboot.
It has happened to me once so far lol.

OK.
Make a backup of your phone.
Download all 3 zip files.
Enable ART if you have not done so already
Reboot and let Android optimize itself. Whatsapp should crash at this point.
Reboot into recovery and Flash Moto X_ART_Libart.so.zip
Do NOT wipe cache/dalvik and reboot.:fingers-crossed:
If your phone boots fine, launch Whatsapp. :victory:
If your phone boots but you have no status or notification bar, flash SystemUI_VZW_Odex_Stock.zip; a mod is breaking SystemUI.apk.
If your phone does not boot (most likely because you wiped cache/dalvik), shut it down (hold power button). Then boot into recovery via fastboot and flash Moto X_ART_Libart_Stock.so.zip.

I would strongly advise against touching anything in /system/lib without having a backup via recovery. Don't do it.
Edit: It's especially dangerous if you mistakenly wipe dalvik/cache.
Thank you, i'll wait 4.4.2
Is there any way to flash this on a stock recovery or by any other means? I have 4.4 with stock recovery, SlapMyMoto root and MotoWPNoMo.

This is caused because you updated to 4.4.4 previously, and the partition table changed. When you tried to downgrade, the partition table didn't accept the old system image. Now you must wait for a 4.4.4 GPE image, that is the only thing that can unbrick your phone, since it will have the updated gpt.bin.

I made a method to recover your phone for use! Sadly, you will only be able to use custom ROMs (at least until there's a 4.4.4 image)

S-off. As you can see its been awhile since I have messed with my phone so forgive me. I found something that had what I needed and was stable(until now) and stuck with it.
So I connected my phone to a friends charger and it wasnt charging and it died. I got it charged and booted it up and it ran fine for about 2 minutes then apps started stopping and it rebooted, it now does this over and over. I tried the battery reset. The last apps to crash are always google play services related so I tried to flash a gaaps zip in hboot.I tried uninstalling/deleting those apps, it still crashes. I tried to wipe and restore/install in twrp recovery(which it usually says is successful). Ive tried flashing RUUs in hboot they stop after the first reboot and boot normally instead of back to hboot. It wont connect to adb(I may have done something wrong there). But whatever I do it boots up exactly how it was before. If I delete/uninstall anything it comes back, if I add something anywhere other than the external sd it disappears.
Please help I cant afford a new phone right now.
Update: Without an sd card in the phone it wont reboot but all other things are the same, apps still crash, still cant do anything to recover.
Update: I tried another sd card and it prevents the reboot, but still wont flash anything in the bootloader.
Update: I formatted my sd card and it doesn't reboot with it in now, atleast not automatically, it reboots when certain apps are opened or randomly after a long period. Apps still crash and still no luck with any flashing or recovery. I tried clearing all app caches with titanium, no change.
I think the internal and system partitions may be corrupted and stuck as is after reboot, the weird thing is I can delete things or add things and the changes stay until reboot, then its back to its original state, is that possible?
Did you rename the RUU file to OP6BIMG.zip before placing it in sd card? And since you are s on u should use the RUU from this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/general/official-ruu1-55-605-2-t2883845
And if u think there is a problem with partitions download a 4.4.x ruu flash it on ur phone then boot into recovery and reset all data in phone. Remember in stock recovery u need to press vol and mayb power at same time(just press dont hold them to long).
You can flash the recovery from bootloader also, but remember it should be 4.4.x

Im s-off usinf twrp 2.7 something. Ruu flash starts but at first reboot it just boots normally instead of back to the bootloader. I've flashed roms, ruus, nandroids, from both the bootloader and recovery nothing sticks. The phonereboots to identical to how it was dec6 no matter what I do, flashes, wipes, installs, deletions, everything goes back how it was after reboot.

So u keep the ruu or flash some ROM after that?
Have you tried different RUUs?
I also recommend flashing the firmware for whichever Android version you are using.
Try firmware from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one-m8/development/wip-4-17-605-9-stock-resources-firmware-t3196906
Flash firmware after RUU flashing.
I recommend the latest ruu if you flash it u will not need to flash firmware.
In previous post I told you to reset your phone from stock recovery did you try that?

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy Note II stuck on bootloop

So, here's the full details. I tried to increase the ram of my Note II even if its kernel does not support swap because I saw a thread here that will help me increase my ram even if my kernel is not compatible with swap. It didn't work so I uninstalled all the apps required to do it (Swapper2, Terminal Emulator) then it suddenly restarts then goes bootloop. Then I installed a custom rom (CM 0.14) changed my kernel to AGNI but still, bootloop. Then I decided to go back to stockrom by flashing it through odin then still stuck on bootloop. I tried to wipe data/cache after flashing and this is what it showed me:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
I followed the steps required to flash the stock rom but I'm still stuck on bootloop. Can you help me what to do? Thanks!

Greetings and welcome to xda, first can I ask if you have a back up of your efs folder ? I don't think you will need it but just in case. If you boot into download mode and connect to kies/smart switch and select emergency firmarew recovery you should be fine. It sounds like you need to install a pit file which this will do, alternatively you can just flash a stock rom through odin that contains a pit file or I think mskips toolkit has a pit file
Good Luck

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately I don't have any backup efs folder. Gonna try those 2 methods you mention and will reply here if something happens; thanks!
So, I've tried all the methods and none of them worked for me. This is what happened:
First, I tried to do emergency firmware recovery method but its stuck on connecting even after I updated to latest drivers. Some says that its skies problem I did the second option. I search for GT-N7100 pitfile on xda which is 3kb in size and flashed it using odin together with the md5 file and this is what it looks like.

The flashing process is completed. I wiped the data/cache as usual but same results. Did I do it wrong?

After flashing the pit file did you try flashing a stock rom through odin or kies emergency firmware recovery again ?

Yes I did through odin only since kies always stuck at connecting then becomes unresponsive. And as I said, I flashed the pit file together with md5 from stock rom. Same results. I checked the version of pitfile which is the international one and I'm still stuck on bootloop.

If kies emergency firmware recovery and mskips toolkit do not work then I'm afraid I am out of ideas. If you ask in the note 2 forums here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help
Hopefully the experts there may be able to think of something
Hope you figure it out

So, after a lot of murmuring I finally identified the root of the problem: the efs. This guide helped me fixed the problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/how-to-fix-efailed-to-mount-efs-invalid-t2858056
After I input the command on ADB, what I did was wipe data/cache and mount/efs then reboot. This method fixed E: failed to mount /efs Invalid Argument error. Thanks for all the help!
