hello fellows Droids,
i've been trying to fix/unbrick an Acer Iconia Tab A200 for few days now, and nothing seems to work, the Tab has never been rooted before, it's on stock, and it's stuck in the boot logo, i unlocked the bootloader, tried to flash the stock firmware and rom, but it's not working, it uploads the karnel or the rom then it gives me "FAILED (remote: (00030003))" , I could flash the ClockWork recovery, but when trying to flash anything with it, it says to me "can't mount cash/../..", can't mount Sdcard, even if i try to use it to format or wipe, it gives me the same E messages,
I assume my device is still not Rooted, i can't use ADB, since the device is stuck on boot, when i type "ADB devices" it gives me no device,
so only fastboot is working,
so i'm wondering if is there any way to root, my device, or to make it boot again as stock, so i can root it the conventional way ...
you guys would save my life if you show me how to fix it thanks folks

Hey guys,
Finally decided to flash a new rom (NOS M7) and kernel (KillX) onto my phone, I loaded up the zips onto my sd card and just flashed it using recovery only. I didn't flash boot.img in bootloader/fastboot. I know its stupid, its my fault that I was tired and that I haven't really flash roms since mid 2011 on my sensation after settling on a virtuous rom.
Now my wifi doesn't work (haven't been playing with it much - could be many more things that don't work), but the main problem is that I found out adb doesn't work for my phone anymore when i tried to flash boot.img again. Sure, I can still use my phone as a external drive, but that's about it. Can't find my phone though 'adb devices' when the phone is switched on normally, in fastboot usb, and in recovery. However, I can still sideload a .zip file in recovery. that works.
In fastboot, I get 'This device cannot start. (Code 10) - A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.' I've tried downloading the newest drivers from htc, updated my sdks, installed/uninstalled htc sync manager - which always came up with 'unable to sync with device that is locked, please unlock device' or something like that even though my device's screen was unlocked.
You probably figured out that I'm not that advanced with technology as some of you peeps out there. :angel:
What do you think I should be doing now?
I feel like I have half a phone working. :crying:
Cheers,
Reece
Which variant do u have ... X920d or e ??
Also it might be best to return to stock first and ten start over again ... Also provide the hboot version from the boot loader screen
I have the x920d,
here's the info.
Hboot - 1.39.0000
Radio 3A.21.306.10
s-on.
What do you mean by return to stock, as in relocking my phone etc... but how? I can't even use adb. I can't really flash roms properly either.
Anyone...??
Try the ADB on another computer, it should work.
I'm still getting no luck with adb on another computer.
What else can i do?
I can even use adb .
Hope that help.

Note: That guy did with x920e ROM but I think the process should be same, good luck.
Sorry that i took a while to reply.
I just tried going into recovery and wiping everything as per the link,
i can't seem to wipe cache and system. weird. that's what i get for trying to format system or cache
'Formatting /system(or cache)...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p32
Error formatting /system(or cache)!'
I can now flash boot.img, but somehow that won't mean anything until I can wipe my phone.
Can I try wiping it in bootloader?
I have read many posts around about the problem with wiping my tablet within the bootloader menu but unfortunately it was after the fact of doing so. I know my post is similar to most but what I found odd was that my bootloader was listed as 10.4.4.25. Am I in the same boat as everyone else having basically a bricked tablet? I can access adb mode, fastboot which says it successfully has written a file but does nothing when rebooted just hangs. I can send files to my tablet but when I go to install it states it failed. I have TWRP 2.4.1.0 which states unable to mount cache...etc. The device is unlocked. Is there any way to fix partitions or allow it to mount a file system, I did update to the newest Cleanrom, can't remember what I didn't like about the flash before I wiped it. Any help would be great and if you want to just state I messed up thats more then welcome too. Thanks
I have been trying for hours to install both TWRP and CWM recoveries, and my phone will not accept them.
It goes through the process, yet upon the reboot into recovery, it just starts normally.
the message on the phone is: Mismathched partition size (recovery)
I have a Canadian version of 4.4.2 stock rom on my Moto G.
It is boolader unlocked and rooted.
Any ideas how to install the recovery?
My ultimate goal is to install a rom that supports russian language.

same problem here! brand new phone, 4.4.2 o2 UK.
the mismatched partition size error is not important i know that.
have tried Philz (got it to work once, but after rebooting, had gone again. ever after letting it fix the rom rewrite on exit!). also tried stock CWM 6046 and 6047.
have tried entering recover immediately after flashing.
have tried flashing multiple times.
have tried different usb ports.
ideas please?
i've never had this much trouble with any phone (have experience over 3 years with Blade, G300, Xperia range etc.)
edit: tried using fastboot -S 0 parameter also, seems to make no difference. phone won't boot into recovery. this is slightly different to the problem i had with old phone, that one would boot Philz but not boot any ROMs. this one is booting stock ROM. if i can get Philz to "take" again i could try flashing CM, but i wanted to stay on stock, and just root it..
edit2: just started working! bizarre.. hope this doesn't jinx it. i wrote two recovery images with -S 0 and it works, not sure if because of that or something else. btw Philz won't backup the stock rom, odd - it just errors out, CWM standard works though.
hurrah! i rebooted normally, went back to fastboot and recovery still there. this is with recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-falcon.img
now i can hopefully root it..
wonder if my 3rd moto g will get any easier! this is a huge PITA of random non-workiness so far.
Hello Guys!
Recently i received my used Motorola Moto G. Phone was nice, I was using it like every teenager, instagram snapchat etc. But last night i wanted to install rom on phone. Saw thread about installing everything, root rom etc. with 1 program. I tought it will be nice, so i downloaded it, run, and there is a problem. It was command line tool, everything gone right, there was messeage about clicking any button to continue, I did it and then my phone restarted, but there was like normal 5.0.2 android not 5.1 what was saying guy who wrote thread about that program. So i thought that i will do everything step by step, unlocked bootloader, installed recovery and when i first time opened recovery from bootloader menu it had problem with mounting data partition. I was trying to install firmware roms, but it had problems with downgrading bootloader. Downloaded 5.0.2 firmware .xml.zip file, it gone ok, i mean there wasn't a problem with motoboot.img, and at every single command there was only okay, there wasn't failed, just had 2 problems on phone screen, it was saying "hab check failed for boot" and "hab check failed for recovery". After typing every single command to fastboot and restarting phone always phone was stucked on boot screen, i mean on 4.4 it was stuck on messeage about unlocking bootloader, on 5.0.2 it was stucked on that 4 colors orbs flying around the screen. Then i was trying to open my stock recovery, but it was always broken, opened android with warning sign on it. When i was installing custom recovery that had problems with mounting /command /log /last_log /last_install, and when i was trying to mount data it couldn't mount it, I was trying to format /data and /data/media, it was always going ok and then i could mount data partition, but my phone was still stuck on boot screen. I was trying to install custom recovery again but it had same problem, just opened android with warning sign. And there is a question, what can I do to make my telephone working.
I'm sorry for mistakes, but my english is not the best

Hi guys in a new guy in xda Peace be upon you all .So here is the deal i have rooted quite a few phones and unlocked and got rid of softbrick .But this one is give me a headache .The owner gave me the phone he said he bought a 10 of those for his repair shop.I fixed the Htc One it was 2 nights of work barely any sleep.But never the less this device is moto g first generation the device is locked by pattern and wont let me in .If i slide to the camera at the lock screen camera stopped working .Fine i was like oke this would be easy its corrupted os .Next i tried to unlock the bootloader it failed with error battery was very weak like 5 %than i let it charge to about 80% and i managed to unlock the bootloader .Next i tried to install custom recovery to get rid of screen lock .when i go to recovery i got the screen with green android dude on his back with no comand then i hold volume up button for 10 sec and i tap the power button and it booted to android stock recovery .No matter what i do i couldnt get to install custom recovery it says finished without errors in cmd but i couldnt it always reverts me to stock recovery .Someone told me some stock roms after restart reinstalls stock recovery.Then i said fine i will do this in fastboot on cmd :fastboot boot recovery twrp.img and its the same it says downloading fine then goes and its the same stock recovery adb sideload wont work because usb debbuging is turned off i think because when i type adb devices it displays nothing emtpy so i even tried to get rid of whole stock rom but no go i tried fastboot erase data fastboot erase system fastboot erase cache it all displays sucesfull next reboot the same stock rom like i never touched anything i even tried factory reset in stock recovery it wont work it says done. like its completed but it doesnt do anything any help is apprecieted
Disclaimer: I am by no means an expert! But I have flashed twrp to 2 Moto Gs this week.
What I needed to do after flashing the recovery, was going immediately to recovery without rebooting.
When I rebooted after flashing the recovery I also got the 'no command' guy. But going to recovery from the bootloader menu after flashing worked for me.

Thank you for replying i already tried that but it doesnt work i tried twrp cwm recovery you name it it doesnt work .Hm what i dont get i erased the whole stock os with fastboot erase data fastboot erase system and it still boots in to the os only tought that comes in to my mind is that the bootloader is corrupted messed up .Or is the eMMC it has errors .I dont know what to do i tried all or maybe the phone is stolen and it wont accept any permissions but i doubt it i get no errors in fastboot and trough flashing and factory reset all completed sucesfully .I dont know what to do .This is a tough one if i only had riff box jtag to try that Do you know some custom bootloader can you link me ?
You need to flash original stock 5.1 rom for your phone..From this link you have tutorial how to do it. You must do it because your partitions and file system is messed up..With this stock rom will be fixed bootloader and partitions..
After install stock rom you could install twrp again and any custom rom..
thank you kind sir i will try that thank you
why???
I done as it says in the tutorial cmd returns all okay when i finished the instalation the some old os locked screen same old recovery same thing nohing changed i done everything correct why mate do you know the reason i even put android 5.02 .Its like i never touched anything i done all right
