I screwed up and now I need help [Can't install any ROM] - HTC Pico (Explorer)

Hi there
So about a year ago, some months after getting htc explorer, I rooted it for the sole purpose of installing apks. Yesterday I did a factory reset (I had tottaly forgotten that I should only do it through the recovery) and a ruined my phone
After some digging around I decided that I'd like to try a custom ROM, and I've been trying all day and I can't get it to work. The roms I've tried:
JaggyRom 3.2.1 (lite) : Can Install it just fine, first time boot ok, then after restarting phone it gets stuck at the htc logo (Tried it 3 times)
JaggyRom 4.1: Installed it with no problems too, first boot with sd card in and I get error that some core process has stopped working.
MIUI (latest version): On the first boot it stayed on the "Android" logo forever (at least 30 min) so I gave up.
In all roms I followed the proper instructions (make other ext4 partitions and what not). I think the problem may lie with my recovery. My recovery is "pico cwm-based recovery v5.0.2" and I don't know if it may be outdated. Jaggyjags mentions in his jaggyrom 3.2.1 topic that we should use recovery by yannou90 but I can't install it. When I run the recovery.bat from this topic It gives a "waiting for device" message. I think my pc doesnt recognize when I connect the htc via usb in the fastboot menu because it gives a weird message about some undefined usb device, and when I used to connect through the phone os it was fine.
Anyway, I was hoping that someone could shed some light on me and help me out here.
Best Regards
EDIT:I just noticed that I have the recovery by Yannou90 after all. What am I doing wrong then?

Try twrp recovery...available in Original android section...
Make ext4 partition as primary...
Before flashing anythng wipe everything except sdcard...
May be you may missed something that you may havent noticed it yet...

Hi,
I think I solved it! At least I manage to install FlyRom and it seems to be running properly. The problem was that in the tutorial It said to creat an ext partition through the recovery, and it said to choose the 4K MB option. I though that it was the Allocation size unit but it was the actual size, but my sd only as 2 GB so you see the problem. I created one with 1GB and now it seems to be running fine.
Thanks all

LOL

It's just a softbrick. As long as you can get into fastboot you are ok.
I suggest reflashing the stock jellybean rom. You can download it from the asus website.
As for getting it into your device (i dont know if cwm supprots sd cards yet). You can use the adb push commands or you can flash twrp which supprots flashing from the sd card.
Also next time read the rom thread carefully. It specifically says you should use twrp.
Hey man try this, it works for me (Same situation but i'm 17 xD)
1) Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?5diezc69u1b16f8
2)Extract the "recovery1" folder in C:\ drive
3)Plug the tablet to PC and turn it on while pressing VOL- and POWER, then go to the fastboot mode (is the USB symbol)
4)Download from here ( http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...300T&p=20&s=16 ) the WW of US instead of the version of the tablet you have got, the extract the blob file in the "recovery1" folder
5)Open CMD, type cd c:\recovery1 then press enter
6)Type dir to see if all the files are in the folder
7)type this command fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
8)After is done, type fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
9)Enjoy!
If you can't do any of this steps, post here and I will help you
Fixed It!

Hey actually like 10 mins after I posted I was able to install Clean Rom.
I formated every partition except sd card in v6.0.1.2 cwm recovery as well as factory reset and wipe dalvik.
Actually I like cwm recovery better and it does support microsd cards now. This is the jb/touch bootloader.
Thanks for the Help anyways.
.
Same problem, when i try to flash JB Hydro 3.6... i stuck into bootloop... i flash the official asus update and it works... But when i try to flash the hydro rom it doesn't work.... Why?
I guess you have the new JellyBean Bootloader... because of that you can only flash ROM's which are made for it...
.
I know... i update from jb ota to hydro... but when i flash the 3.6 i got bootloop... and now i can flash this rom...

Problem with boot reloop solved

I ran into some trouble trying to install a new ROM, and now have a hard time getting things up and running again.
Just figured I'd share a solution that took me an hour or 2 to figure out.
The Problem
The system didn't boot up any more. At some points I got stuck in a boot reloop, at others in the HTC screen (for development use only)
The Basic Facts
S4
Unlocked
Hboot 1.06.0000
Radio 1.06es.50.02.31
I could always boot into bootloader and into recovery (TWRP 2.3.3.0 - although that one always asks for a password, but when I click on Cancel, it does seem to work
The Things I Tried
I tried to install a ROM by first pushing it with quick adb pusher to the sd-card that was mounted in twrp, I then tried to install that zip file but got all sorts of 'mount' errors
I then tried to fash a stock RUU (I found RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed.exe), I relocked the phone with the one-in-all toolbox (which worked just fine), the phone went into bootloader, a White HTC sign appeared on the screen, it sent the file, then did 'updating signatures', but ended up with ERROR [130]: model ID error. I take it that is because it found a different Radio from the one expected
I then tried to flash the 'right' radio for the RUU I found (radio-1.08ts.50.02.16) by doing fastboot boot radio.img, but that gave the following error: "reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error"
The Solution
I finally managed to install the ROM through the all-in-one toolbox. I selected under the 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option under 'Extras', the went into 'adb sideload' in twrp advanced and selected a rom I had downloaded (in my case ViperOneS). It started sending it properly (sending:'sideload' x%), it then showed the Team Venom logo and opened the aroma installer. I selected full install with a full wipe (to be on the safe side), and aroma then did its thing until it said "new ROM flashed successfully". I then rebooted and had to wait a few minutes for the first boot (as it had warned me), but I'm fully back up and running again! So If any of you experience a similar problem, you may want to try this out (and avoid the other things I tried.
Thanks for posting a solution. But I do want to point out that this is the development forum. As such, your post doesn't belong here. The General or Q&A forums are the correct ones.

Thanks Thanks Thanks !!!
I've been stuck on boot with every rom's that i've been trying to install!
I was becoming very concern about the problem !
I went from CM10 to the new Viper 2.0 but having troubles with WIFI I start testing others roms and than I become stuck!
Since I've TRW 2.3 and tool kit in my pc I give a shoot at your tutorial and it WORKS.
Thanks again,

[Q] Only fastboot accessible to flash / restore my TF700

Hello,
My TF700 was on a CleanRom (2.3 i think), for a while, i decided to update.
- I installed the latest CWM (via fastboot) and flashed a Cyanogen 10.2 "stable", but my tablet freezed very quickly after successful boot, i tried some reboots and get same problem.
- I tried to install a stock ODEX root ROM, the tablet freezed at asus logo
- I flashed TWRP instead of CWM, it doesn't helped
- I tried wipe data and cache with TWRP, then my data was not accessible anymore and TWRP was unable to re-create it
- I searched on forums and found on this one that flash a boot.blob file can solve the problem
- It doesn't and now CWM and TWRP refuse to work ....
So i post here before getting my tablet completely brick.
At this point, i get access to fastboot / abd, CWM load but don't work (reboot when trying to do something), TWRP don't load.
Any suggestion to get back to a Stock ODEX rooted rom ?
Excuse my english ...

Sounds like you are on an old bootloader. Flash the stock rom from asus by unzipping the zip you download from their website and placing in the root folder of your micro sd and then go into rck from the bootloader menu (power + volume down whilst booting)
Or you could just flash it from recovery....
lj50036 helped me to flash a new bootloader, recovery, rom and nvflash to make it unbrickable
Not just helped he spent many times to explain me how it works and what he did.
He is very nice and this was a pleasure to talk with him, i'm happy that there's still person like that on this planet
see you !

I buy a tf700 with cm 11 a few days ago i am really interessted on how this steps works. I really want to make it unbrickeable, But i dont really understand how it works. I can not enter in fastboot. at least i got cwm interface when rebooting with adb into recovery.
Can u explain how you did it?
It invovles flashing a modified bootloader and the flatline recovery and then using Wheelie to generate your nvflash blobs.

Stuck in boot loop, fastboot and recovery accessible
Hello,
I'm having a similar issue and I need help! Initially my tablet was rooted with Cromi-X 5.4. Then I decided to try Crombi-KK.
Here is what happened:
- Updated TWRP recovery
- Did a full wipe as recommended
- Flashing got stuck at the Crombi-KK loading sign
- Tried to reflash but TWRP wasn't detecting data partition anymore
- Instead installed the other recommended recovery CWMR.
- Flashed Crombi-KK, it worked. Played around with it for a few days, it was wonderful, fast and responsive.
- Battery died out and when I turned it back on I got a UIDs system inconsistent error.
- I found online many recommendations to reflash so I tried to do that
- Since then I'm stuck in a boot loop. I see the initial "bios" Asus logo then it restarts over and over.
- I am able to access bootloader and recovery
I've tried reflashing the asus stock blob. I've tried wiping the data through CWMR but it starts working and then it restarts. I don't know what to do anymore, so if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
Which recovery and bootloader version do you have now?
A (for KK) outdated bootloader seems the most likely culprit.
You can try save the recovery log when you flash or grab a logcat of the bootloop, but probably it'll only tell you that the recovery cannot mount /data.
Determine that you are on the correct bootloader, if not update it. If you're lucky the tablet will start right up. If it doesn't, formatting /data is the only way I know to get it back. Not just wiping - formatting it. You will loose everything on internal SD, so I hope you have a nandroid you can restore from later.
If you use TWRP 2.7+ be aware that formatting can take more than an hour. Let it finish!
For good measure, download CROMBi-KK again, check the md5 and then flash that file.
I'm on 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader which I think is the latest one
I have 6.0.4.7 CWMR
I'm trying to format data completely but when i do it in CWMR it starts and then the tablet reboots on it's own after a couple of minutes.
How can I retrieve the logs, I never had to do it before.
Thanks for your help
Mhh, getting a little more complicated.
Your BL is ok...
What do you see in CWM when you go into Mounts and Storage? What is mounted?
The recovery logs are under Advanced > show logs.
I'm at work now but from what I remember the only thing mounted was the cache. I'll double check tonight. Do you think there's any hope or I have a brand new paper weight?

Can you fastboot flash twrp?
It's much much better than CWM, has its own terminal and will be easier to offer the correct format command.

So I flashed TWRP and when I go in mount/storage everything is selected except for system. Should I do a format data from the wipe menu before flashing crombi-kk again?

To be in the safe side, yes, that is what I would do. TWTRP 2.7.+ takes a long time to format and it may seem the process got stuck. Give it at least 90 minutes to finish.
Then reflash CROMBi
I'm back up and running !!!
This time installing TWRP, everything was mounted (maybe my previous flash before CWMR wasn't good), did a format data, waited until it was done, flashed latest Crombi-KK and going through setup now. Hopefully won't have the same UID issue on next shutdown. I didn't enable fsync or journaling so hopefully it won't happen again.
Thanks both of you for your help!
Good deal! Happy for you!

[Q] Wiped in TWRP then flashed new ROM... now can't boot to recovery and boot looped

Everything was working fine but I haven't updated my ROM (Mokee ROM in my sig) in a long time. I also wanted to just start fresh. So, I rebooted into recovery and wiped absolutely everything. I downloaded the same (but updated) ROM I was using before. I put the files on a microSD and put the microSD into the tablet. I flashed the ROM and then GApps as described in the instructions and then rebooted. Now I am stuck in a boot loop. At first, I thought maybe the downloaded files were corrupt. So I downloaded them again on another computer. It didn't change a thing.
But every time I try getting into recovery mode, it just boots to the ROM. So how do I get things up and running again? I'm comfortable with the command line but right now ADB and Fastboot dont see the device. I've installed the USB drivers and 15 second ADB/fastboot install on Windows. I've never had this problem and haven't found anything online yet that provides a solution. What now?

Restore backup or flash some other Rom,

Yes, that is what I'd like to do. But how would you suggest doing that since I cannot get into recovery and am stuck in a boot loop?
Whew... I let the tablet sit for a couple of days while I worked on other things. I decided to try, just for the heck of it, to put it into recovery mode (Power+Vol Down) and it worked. I already had a new ROM ready to install on my microSD and did it. It looks like CM10 is going to be my ROM now. It installed and is running! What a relief!
It must not have been shutting down all the way before. Even though I saw the Samsung Galaxy Tab logo, there must have been something it didn't like at the time. No idea besides that.

[Completed] HTC One X Trying to install ROM but stuck with problems.

Hi, so recently my HTC One X has been acting up so I decided to install a ROM to make it much faster, so I had to unlock the bootloader. When i've done that I flashed CWM on my device. Then I tried to install a rom that was on the device and it didn't install which leads me to my first problem, the page said I needed to reset everything and use the fastboot command to flash the zip file that worked but when I went to CWM (to install gapps) the device never booted in the ROM just kept going back to CWM. So I googled this and there was multiple things I tired out like adb command etc also it would be easier if this problem was fixed if this button worked (mount USB storage) I press that and it does not work. So then I don't know what to do. I'm stuck here please help me the rom was cm-11-20160815-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip.
