As I said to you in the last thread you opened, try posting this in the Q&A for your device, as you are far more likely to get help from someone who has encountered this before or knows how to resolve it.

I personally would go for 4EXT touch because i hav had experienced problem with CWM touch , whats the differences ... not that much , 4ext got even better and more friendlly interface witch i personally prefer, to instal 4ext turn off ur mobile by power off or pulling the battery off and enter the boot menu go on fastboot conect it to usb and get the ADB fastboot drivers then place the recovery.img to the selected follder and enter CMD from start menu type cd.. then type cd.. again then cd + ( the folder path) and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( or the name of the file u want to instal) if u are already s-OFF just download 4ext updater and flash it trough there.

Ohh hard brick
Go to recovery wipe everything
Flash a rom
I think u have have to reflash ruu to fix hboot
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium

if you can get into recovery -
1. wipe everything (all partitions, dalvik cache, battery stats, etc)
2. mount usb storage. download jaggy rom and put it on to the sd card.
3. flash the rom, it will boot up fine.
4. reboot to recovery. wipe everything again.
5. reboot to bootloader (in twrp) if on yannou, just pull out the battery, put it in and keep holding volume down and power till you get the fastboot menu.
6. get into fastboot mode, connect phone to PC, run the proper RUU for your device.
if you can't get into recovery -
fastboot boot <recovery name>.img. Preferably use a twrp recovery.

thanks for suggestion bros

CM10b6 is really a very smooth rom for pico. Even wifi toggel works great but my only concern is headset detection. Used this rom for a week but due to headset problem but had changed after.

This is the non T-mobile, WWE East Europe ROM with the same radio, or you could just get the latest RUU and flash it. I am not able to find the one modded by T-mobile. But are there any T-mobile specific services or apps that you want to use that were present on the phone when you got it first ? If not, this should do it for you.

sorry bro, I can't find the T-mobile specific ROM. Since you already have your phone running, and if you desparately want to switch back to the T-mobile ROM, you can always flash that RUU and take it to them and tell them that you just want the software updated. I don't think they will care about the phone being rooted as the service center guys will. I might be wrong though. Doesn't hurt to ask, does it ?

factory reset on pico after being rooted will give you a bootloop. DO NOT factory reset a rooted phone.

I assume your bootloader is unlocked, since you say so. You don't need to flash a recovery for it to work. You can just boot a recovery image and do your stuff.
1) run "fastboot devices" command. See if it spits out your device. If it does, your phone's in fastboot mode.
2) run "fastboot boot <recovery image name>.img". This will reboot your phone directly into the recovery where you can play around.
I assume again that one of your partitions has been corrupted just like mine had. So just as a safety measure use cute_prince's nand recovery method. Wipe everything from recovery, and reboot your phone. You should be able to flash stuff, and lock your bootloader normally. Then run the RUU.
NOTE : BOOTLOADER MUST BE LOCKED BEFORE FLASHING RUU.
Hope this helps. Reply back if you run into any other problems. Will try to help you as much as I can. And as far as flashing a ROM goes, I would stay away from CM10 beta 6 and all sense 4.0 / 4.0a ROMS as I have faced nand burns with them.

Try out this method it might solve ur prob ..
!!!DO NOT RELOCK the bootloader before Step 4 - this will brick your phone!!!
1. download RUU for your device here (check your radio at top the bootloader menu)
2. extract the RUU rom from RUU application
start the ruu application, even if it fails. also start the flashing process, nothing will happen here. search for the ruu logs, for me at c:\ruu_log. in the log (for me in line 191) is the path to the rom.zip that should get flashed. something in temp folder... for me the line looks like this:
"<T093343><DEBUG><CMD>fastboot -s HT1BMVMXYZ flash zip C:\users\raangu\AppData\Local\Temp\{1235}\{12345}\ rom.zip</CMD></DEBUG></T093343>"
3. flash the needed images
in the rom.zip you will find a boot_signed.img, a system.img and a recovery_signed.img. flash all these images with fastboot.
In command line:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
4. relock the bootloader
In command line:
fastboot oem lock
5. install with RUU application
now run the RUU application again and follow the instructions.
You are back on RUU now!

I recently acquired a moto g here in india via flipkart that came preinstalled with android 4.4.4 and yes i have the same problem of not getting any recovery to work since all of them boot to a weird black screen with random white lines appearing haphazardly. In fact the closest i have come to getting a proper recovery is when i installed the twrp 2.7.1.1 although it too off started of as black screen with weird lines i left it that way till the screen turned off and once it did, i pressed the power button and voila the recovery had successfully loaded.
However touch and HW buttons weren't working but i definitely reached the padlocked screen of twrp. So i tried another thing i had read on the forums here @ xda that sometimes letting the screen go off in recovery once makes it work but even that didnt work. Now the thing is does the recovery work ? that is in its most essential function taking backups and installing zips yes it does so. But since both the above functions require the actual use of recovery itself which isnt possible so i used twrp app for android and installed it and used that to make backups and install zips; both of which worked. Now it goes without saying root access is must for using of this app and i got rooted using the modaco/paul o'brian superboot method and hence was able to use twrp app. Hope this provides everybody a better clarity on our situation and make the devs for recovery solve our problem. Good Luck.
P.S Downgrading to 4.4.2 wont help as it will give the black screen witnessed on trying to boot into recovery(I already tried that)

P.S Downgrading to 4.4.2 wont help as it will give the black screen witnessed on trying to boot into recovery(I already tried that)

So. It must becoz of the incompatibility of the recoveries with the new boot loader/firmware or what ever ?
The bootloader version of all those with 4.4.4 is 41.13. So it must be the issue with recovery.
The root can also be acquired by flashing cwm recovery and installing supersu from playstore.

Hi,
Thanks for the help. Watched the video and follow his steps...
But now suddenly the hidden.img flashes on the phone.
So I get a green pass by Odin.
But phone doesn't start!
Tried "auto reboot" on and also off.
It doesn't fail anymore.
Deleted the hidden.img file and flashed it afterwards.
I can't get him alive. I'm gonna try other official firmwares with an older android version. I don't get it.... Why only download mode? Not even recovery opens. #notgivingup
should I try to root it with cf root and try to get a recovery mode on it? This phone needs to be wiped I guess.

try to get into recovery , and give general reset....
or try to install twrp -to install a custom rom...
does not make downgrade to android , it can break

Could it be that I super hard bricked this phone by flashing everything over and over? I always think, as long the phone boots in download mode you're pretty safe.
Can't flash twrp, stock recovery.....
No official firmware is booting the phone up. I used to have the hidden.img problem but nog every firmware flash completes but still doesn't boot the phone.
Is there an order in which I need to try to flash? Like, try firmware first, then a recovery,.... Or first a bootloader and modem, then a firmware...
Oh God help me!
Thanks for the replies I already got!

normal you should first bootloader ...after firmware
you tried that job ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-repair-hard-bricked-devices-t3573865

Wow that link is a whole lot of Chinese for me. but I'll look into it this weekend! Thanks for keeping up with me. My phone still boots in download so I'm a step ahead. Gonna try flashing stock firmware without auto-boot ticked in Odin, then reset and restart phone manually in download mode and try to flash right bootloader. Should I go for the latest firmware or more like a 6.0.1 firmware?

firmware 7. is to good , why use it 6. ?
"Wow that link is a whole lot of Chinese for me. " lol for me too

Well because I flashed like a couple of firmwares... And heard about downgrading is bad but... Yeah this isn't really downgrading.... Im just trying to wake up my friends phone. I will try to flash the latest firmware and then the bootloader right after it.

Hi guys,
So still no luck. Flashed latest stock firmware, tried flashing bootloader right after the successful flash, no luck. Tried rooting with cf-root, which completes but no custom recovery... Not booting. So yeah I'm on that download mode again. Anyone has some solutions I could try? Could I try converting a custom Rom zip to a tar file and flash it with Odin?
Thanks!

Hey guys
So I think i'm facing a similar problem on my s6 sm-g920f. When I flashed a stock rom 7.0 it passed with no errors, but when it tried to restart it just stays at Samsung logo. I too can't access recovery mode, only download mode. And when I try to do the "removing battery" method using volume down and power button it turns off but turns on right after and gets stuck on Samsung logo.

At least your phone is booting to the logo. I literally flashed everything! Recoveries, stock roms, tried rooting, bootloaders, stock rom with and without hidden.img...pit files.... if you find something... Let me know!

Huh am facing similar situation one s6 was in softbrick I I had odin mode successful but it showed G9280d, custom binary system official, I got a similar stock recovery then The device did boot to home screen but system wasnot stable everything stated crashing I did reboot that's when it could only stop at Android s6 then I did cross check to get it labled g920f flashing ends with either CM erorr or bootloader, in miracle it stopped at hidden or CM or pit in odin am clueless.

Man try holding V- ,home button and power key it will work just try harder. I faced it just today though mine is still.
