[Q] Clockwork mod bootloops

Hello. Today i managed to install small update from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563249
I sucessfully flashed it through cwm, and I also booted. But then i accidentaly pressed OTA asus update and im now stuck in Cwm Recovery v3.1.0.1 (solarnz-R-230511-1902). I cant access my nandroid backup since this recovery doesnt support internal storage and i when i press reboot system i get recovery loops (tablet restarts but android wont boot, im again in cwm). So i managed to flash some other versions of cwm, i flashed them, but again, after reboot im still in this recovery ... then i tried this guide http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...overy-bootloop-fix-tested-my-c10-windows.html but i havent set an adb to my device before so when im in command prompt it doesnt recognize my tablet so its pretty awkward (maybe because i havent usb debugging on - is there any way to turn it on??). So im an epic noob, can someone give me advice how to unbrick my lovely tablet? I´ll be very very greatful please help...

If you have an sbk v1 version you could use nvflash to unbrick. Check your serial #

Hmm, I already solved it Just did cold boot and wrote some things with terminal emulator...

Hi,
Am exactly in the same situation, have to cold boot to use the tablet.
Could tou please detail what you did to solv the problem once under android ?
Thanks in advance.

Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23339963 . You'll need to connect to a PC and us adb to connect (Google it if you are not sure what it is or how to use it).
Then reboot since you'll be right back in CWM, run the advanced script. I would replace that version as soon as possible with the working version of CWM.

Acer A700 Bricked ----

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
this is my first thread in this forum, mi name is Nicolas and i ve a very big problem with my new tablet.
I was trying to install the new Jelly Bean (OS_Acer_RV09RC08.WW.GEN1_A41J_A) and everything was OK
I unlocked the bootloader .......and....
I try to root and just bricked....
Everytime i turn on the tablet i can see the "Acer logo" and the line: Bootloader Version JB-653b3d3 (Unlock Mode)
I cant get into the recovery mode.....
Sorry for my bad english....i need your help ppl!!!!
Thanks for ur time.
Nicolas.

May you can get into Fastboot mode and reflash the recovery.
Give it a try =)

Do you have a androids of your original ROM?
I did the exact same thing just yesterday...
If you have a JB image to work from, get it in fastboot mode and look at the thread on CWM Recovery 6.0.1.5...

To get into fastboot mode, it's the following combination;
- Press [vol-] + [power]
- As soon as the tablet vibrates, let go [power] then cycle your rotation lock button left and right till you see the the text start to appear.
Unless you;re going to try and fastboot a system image setup or recovery image or another boot.img, not sure what you wish to accomplish.
I would guess you would be better off installing maybe the GB full version JellyBean update.
Also, I understand there,s a a700 ICS service rom out there somewhere. That might help you also.
But these are just guesses at this point.
What would help, is to know exactly what you did to get yourself into this situation. Like What root procedure from what post? If you tried one of the ICS Boot.image flashes, when you had JB updated, well, no wonder it borked up. If that's the case, it's simple just to fastboot a JB Boot.img back in.
So which thread did you get the root procedure from EXACTLY?
One more thing, this thread belongs in Q&A Forum, so I put in a request to have it moved.

Sorry for dont put my thread into the Q&A Forum. It was a mistake. Sorry again
My situation is: "like i remember" i tried to make the root with the "flash-ICS-patchedBoot.bat".....i know that BAT is for ICS and not for JB but i take that mistake doing the thing really fast. :angel:
Ok...i need them to get the fastboot with the JB Boot.img like you said.
The JB Boot.img is into the Rom??? because i saw the boot.img into the JB update.zip
Can u tell me the command to get that flash? Is "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?
Thks for ur patience

It's no problem.
So you fastbooted an ICS boot.img on a JB rom
So, you need to see if you can manually get it into fastboot mode with the procedure I pointed out above (note it will probably wipe your user data, but who cares)
If you get it in fastboot mode, verify via windows device manager, then just put a JB Boot image in there. I have a little package in my Boot.image thread Full /System RW-Root. Don't use the boot mage in it, as it's for a 701. Just copy your JB boot.image in there and fastboot it. You have the correct command.
Verboth has a new rom, that contains an unsecure boot.img for the 700 JB. You can use that one also. It's what you were trying to do originally, just with a wrong image (ICS)
The reason ADB doesn't see it, is because the system isn't running. The newer CWM recoveries should have adb enabled through CWM, but I don't think you put that in yet.
Hopefully you'll get it fastbooted.

Okay, so since I just did this, I'm going to try and give you a "how to" on how I fixed it...
MD and pawitp both are the authorities on this, but I think this will help and I a, sure they will correct me where I go wrong.
First, use the manual process for getting your A700 in fastboot.. power button + down vol, wait for the first buzz then release only the power button, wait for the second buzz then press the up volume button. Your tab should now be in fastboot mode.
Connect it to your computer.
Get a copy of the proper recovery image "recovery-a700-6015" and the following ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952124) and save them to a directory where you can find it easily.
Pull the SD card from your tab and put the ROM from above in the base directory and put it back in your tab.
From the c prompt on your computer use the following fastboot command:
Fastboot devices
----#make sure that the computer sees your a700
Fastboot boot <save directory>recovery-a700-6015.img
----#your tab will reboot into CMR Recovery
In recovery format system, data, cache, dalvik
Still in recovery install the ROM from your external SD card.
The Aroma Installer will guide you through it, but make sure you tell it to install the new firmware.
Reboot.
You should be on the stock rooted ACER Great Britain release.
From there you can download and install CM10 (which is what I did), or any other ROM you would like.

Hello everybody,
I think I have NOT exactly the same problem but very similar.
Let me explain how I got there:
I had JB bootloader and CM11 installed for long and working fine.
Last days I tried out the CM12.1 unofficial rom with successful installation.
I noticed that the camera focus was not working. Usually I never use the camera and was not sure if it worked before. So I went back to CM11 to look if it is rom dependent. In CM11 it still was not working and I went back to stock. The stock rom I found was Android 4.0.4 and I tried to make OTA update what showed me a “not allowed to your device” –error.
However, at this moment I was quite sure that the camera focus is a hardware defect and wanted to go on testing the new CM12.1. I installed it again from CWM recovery and it was not booting anymore.
The problem is, that the stock rom flashed an ICS bootloader which is not compatible anymore. I also cannot boot into recovery anymore but fastboot is working.
Power-On:
shows Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode) and nothing more
Power-On + Vol.Down:
Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode)
Erasing Cache before SD update…
SD update cnd: recovery
--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip
Booting recovery kernel image
Then for just a second CWM is shown:
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1
Finding update package
E:unknown volume for path [SDCARD:update.zip]
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
Rebooting...
Then it holds on Bootloader Version ICS-MR1-a055314 (Unlock Mode)
I could not find any button combination to boot something else.
What I tried and what did not make any changes:
Flashing the recovery.img again
Erase userdata, cache, system
Please help me to boot up recovery again and flash a JB bootloader and new rom.
Thanks and kind regards,
Gandlz

Well, in between I found a solution and can answer my own question now:
The trick is to flash the CWM Recovery not to the recovery partition but to the boot partition. (fastboot flash boot recovery.img)
After restarting the tablet it boots directly into CWM Recovery.
I found a newer stock rom with jelly bean android and installed it to come back to JB-Bootloader. Now I could install CM10.2 CM11 or CM12.1 again.
The stock rom is from a german forum:
android-hilfe.de/thema/a700-zurueck-aufs-deutsche-stock-rom-flashen-anleitung-imagefile.329590
By the way: I’m running CM10.2.1 and it is very much faster than CM11 or CM12.1. I don’t need the newer features and like the old design even more. And also the camera focus is working now, so it is definitely a software issue with newer CM versions.
Best regards,
Gandlz

[REQ] Tutorial to backup to original firmware

hello i'm trying to original firmware (the last one i can find) but i can't do it with adb or custom recovery maybe i 'm too stupid or french ^^
but if someone can make a thin tutorial , then i can send my tablet to Acer for the screen issue (not solved by the tricks of parameter)
thank a lot

@Amidamaru87,
If you already have CWM installed then it's very easy.
1- Take the original (base) firmware, not the last one. Very likely the last one is not a complete firmware but an update to the original one.
2- Take the update.zip file and unzip it to a folder.
3- Go to folder "\META-INF\com\google\android"
4- Edit the updater-script and put a # as first character of first line. This will avoid this line to execute: #assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "a510_...");
5- Zip all files again and name it update.zip.
6- Flash it with CWM.
7- When asked to avoid bootloader installation say "NO". This will restore the original bootloader and lock it again. You will not have CWM any more but I think this is what you want right?
That's all.
From this point on you are at factory state. If you connect to internet very likely Acer will send you an OTA update but it's up to you to install it.
Regards.

fast , accurate ! thanks a lot

I tried to get back to factory state , but i got an "instalation aborted" message every time that i tried
I downloaded the R28.RC02.WW.GEN1 from the site that you linked, unzipped , added "#" character to the first line at the update script file, rezipped and renamed to update.zip
I also copied the file to ext sd and internal sd
I'm currently at franken a700 with nothrills recovery

@ursur,
I would recommend:
- Unzip and zip with another application. Some times wthis could be a problem.
- Edit the script with a linux compatible editor like Notepad++, freeware, google it. Avoid Wordpad or other editors that insert line feeds of CR.
It works for me using internal or external SD.
Regards.

One Hint:
8- When CWM asked to avoid root say "NO".

What does it mean 'flash with cwm'?
IS it this command : fastboot flash recovery update.zip?
Sorry for stupid question.

Recovery verified failed
Hey guys,
i installed a stockrom from acer with your instructions and it was completly done. I had Nothrills 700 Franken before.
i just answerd this question : When asked to avoid bootloader installation say "NO". This will restore the original bootloader and lock it again. You will not have CWM any more but I think this is what you want right? with YES because i wanted to keep cwm.
The tablet restarted normaly and when setting up acer told me that there is a update so i did the update.
Now the tablet restarted and i get the message : booting recovery kernel imag
and in the second line: Recovery verified fail...
in the middle of the screen you can see the acer logo.
WHAT CAN I DO NOW??? I can't reboot the tablet. Holding the power button get no impact. Shoud i wait till the battery is empyt and then?
I read smthg about fastboot and get a stock recovery. Is that a possibility? if yes, who will give me an instructions what i have to do.
Thx for your help.
But at the Moment i'm very desperate
P.S. Sorry for my bad english

Ok, about 2 months ago, I flashed to a Nothrills ROM and all. Then, I wanted to go back fully stock, and I did the same as you mentioned above.
Today, I tried updating my tab OTA and I am getting "Recovery verified failed..." error. Nothing that I can do. Mind you, I was on stock ROM and all, just that I was rooted.
Thanks.

maybe just root is a problem

With system powered off, press and hold ‘Power’ and ‘Vol -‘
b. When the system vibrates, release the ‘Power’ button.
c. When the system vibrates a second time, slide your finger from ‘Vol-‘ to ‘Vol+.”
d. When the system vibrates a third time, release that button.

Tutorial to backup to original firmware on A511
You have a Acer Iconia Tab A511 with e.g. A510 (Custom-)ROM without 2G/3G and you can not install the A511 firmware, cause Status 7 or Status 4 errors?
Deleting the line in the install script with the name of the device doesn't work? Using an other editor and 7zip for repacking is not the solution?
try this way

Yes phone booted in bootloader it say FAST BOOT & STATUS UNLOCKED, I can't enter in recoverymod, as I enter in recovery mod I get dead android with red ! mark.
When I purchased this phone (a few days back) I had Gingerbread, I updated it n due to low signals (I think) ICS installed properly but when it came to installing applications it got hanged, now I can't run applications properly as it reboot if I try to open any application.
I again try to update it from wifi from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1 ( As new update was available) but after complete download of JB when it started to installing I got that dead android sign with RED ! mark.
Do you have any idea what happened wrong?

You don't have a recovery and need to flash one using the toolkit..
1. DOWNLOAD CUSTOM RECOVERY... 2. OPEN TOOLKIT.. ADVANCED MENU/BOOT RECOVERY (this is only temporary) 3. CHANGE SCREEN SETTINGS TO ZERO (or the screen will go black and it's a pain) 4. MOUNT USB... 5. COPY RECOVERY ZIP FROM COMPUTER TO PHONE.. 6. USE RECOVERY TO INSTALL FROM SD / FLASH THE RECOVERY YOU COPIED.. 7. ENJOY YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY..

MOUNT USB... 5. COPY RECOVERY ZIP FROM COMPUTER TO PHONE.. 6. USE RECOVERY TO INSTALL FROM SD / FLASH THE RECOVERY YOU COPIED.. 7. ENJOY YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY..

Please guide me a little bit details as I'm new user of Nexus S & Thanks in advance..
You said install custom recovery right? now I have downloaded 2 files for Clockworkmod recovery 6.x.x.x. one is in .ZIP format & other is in .img format. Now the question is
1). Do I have to flash recovery by using this advance option of Nexus Root Tool Kit by clicking on FLASH PERMANENT & then clicking on recovery & then giving the path of CMW 6.x.x.x.IMG and then after giving the path clicking on ROOT & checking the "And also flash custom recovery" option?
2). Can I install .ZIP file CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP by just putting it into the SD card of Nexus S, turning the phone on into RECOVERY mode and the selecting INSTALL .ZIP from SD card (Something like this) then locating CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP & it will install it automatically?
I installed CWM recovery in my Samsung Galaxy Gio a year back & then installed Cyanogenmod in that phone but I have forgot the procedure but I think I did it like I entered into recovery mode by pressing some buttons & then install zip from SD (I think I did like this but not sure).
P.S: I can enter into recovery when I see DEAD ANDROID with RED ! then I press volume up + power button 2 times then it shows me stock recovery.
One last thing to ask, you said CHANGE SCREEN SETTING TO ZERO? What does it means? Screen setting of Laptop or Mobile (Brightness or what?)
Thank you very much for your support :highfive:

Option 2.. flash recovery zip... The screen setting is in the temporary recovery.. If it times out the screen will go black and you will have to use the Toolkit to reboot your phone.. If you use the recovery in my signature, it has usb mounting support.. other CWM's may not..

One more question just to conform something, can I use this Philz Touch 5.06.1 (Latest) on my STOCK ROM? I'm having ICS 4.0.4 build number IMM76D, can I flash this recovery? I have remember the old days when I flashed CWM in my Samsung Galaxy Gio, they had 4 types of CWM. One was for some RAW disk format, another was for EXT4 (Something like that).
Can I install it for I.C.S 4.0.4? Do I have to root my Nexus S I9023 after that or is it already rooted? that UNLOCK means my phone is rooted? What about the Super user application? DO I have to install in separately? Can I install Cyanogenmod after install this recovery or should I have to install Super user before installing Cyanogenmod? I have remember when I install Cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Gio, the Super User was already there..
Lots of questions for you again but these are just to conform that I'm leading towards right direction, please answer so that I must start flashing Philz Touch 5.06.1.
Thanks in advance :highfive:

1. YES
2. NO, unlocked is not rooted and you'll need a super user.. Most new (4.2.2) custom's have this pre-installed.. otherwise use a .zip or the recovery may have it..??
3. Click the link at the bottom of my signature.. There is a chart for roms.. have a look before you flash..

Download this program for your computer, follow the instructions, Flash your phone back to stock (using bricked mode), You will need to re-install a custom recovery, and then flash in the rom ect...
Make sure you do a clean flash, for ANYTHING you install on your phone..

1. make some coffee
2. get a comfy chair
3. read, read, read...
4. now that you have read about your issue and how to use the toolkit.. (while you are shaking your head no, and are just continuing to read only this...)
5. I am assuming that you are unlocked and have the correct drivers installed, because you already read and followed the instructions.. ;P
6. Boot into your bootloader.. (volume + and power)
7. Open the program (nexus root toolkit)
8. Plug your phone into your computer using the usb cable
9. Using the program, click the "flash to stock" (bricked) option.. If your device isn't recognized, or connected.. You missed a step while you were reading and learning about how to use the toolkit.. or if you don't have a recovery image, you need to find one, or possibly the tookit can download it for you..
10. Keep clicking "ok"
11. A black box will open on your computer.. telling you that it's fixing your phone.. your phone will reboot and you'll celebrate!!..
Now you have a restored to stock phone, without a custom recovery, it isn't rooted, but it is unlocked..
12. You want a custom phone?
13. Use the toolkit that you have now mastered.. because you read on how to do this..
14. Download the .zip files you want to install on your phone (making sure that it is for your phone, as wrong files will break your phone) transfer them to your phone...
15. You open and use the toolkit, ADVANCED/ BOOT RECOVERY... WIPE (DALVIK, CACHE, DATA)/ INSTALL ZIP(s) wiping dalvik and cache for additional installs.. ROM, then KERNEL, then ect..
16. You become addicted to flashing, thinking you can make it better, faster, better battery..
17. You break it again and re-read this, and the other forums you didn't read the first time.. and start over again.. lol..
