HELP!!! yes , its that bad and frustrating for me. THIS IS HTC Incredible .
What happened?
I installed the latest CM7#218, and the phone never was able to restart. It was giving the '3-5 vibrates' symptom. After managing to get into recovery mode, i couldnt see anything from SD card. I later erased and reformatted the sd card but to no use.
In detail:
1. Installed CM7#218.
2. phone restart gives 3-5 vibrate symptom, cant even get into recovery mode.
3. tried factory reset , sd card reformat,repair from windows but doesnt help.
4. only when i unplug the device, power on or when i click on recovery mode, and while on the HTC splash screen, if I connect charger, ONLY then i can get into recovery mode or start the base CM7 OS.
5. in recovery mode i cannot see card , tried all possible mounts/unmounts. thus unable to restore any backups
6 when the base OS boots, (using point#4 above), i still cannot see sd card, nor able to format from phone. in file manager i can see my internal storage. But the phone does not give me any usb mount option , so cannot even view the internal memory from windows.
7. referred to the following thread and many other options etc, but doesnt work.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6...ernal-storage/
the adb shell does not detect my device, tried using 'PDANET' ' ends with 'cannot handshake with device'. tried installing droidexplorer, cannot see my device in the refresh list.
8. Thus as it stands now, i cannot use my internal as well external memory, the web downloads wont go, saying cannot see any memory, same for camera, it cannot see any memory available to it.
9. have already tried N number of restarts, connect disconnect and battery pulls.
10. tried even running the unrevoked, but it cannot connect to device.
11. tried installing all possible drivers as well.
12. its surely not bricked cuz i can use the base OS, and get into recovery through #4 tactics.
HELP!!
I have a Captivate that was rooted and working for over 6 months, and suddenly went into a black screen giving error on E:\.....
Have tried to install the stock firmware using ODIN in Download mode I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 and I897UCKJ3_withBL and both are a success, but as soon as I reboot the phone i get the AT&T logo, see the Samsung logo and then the screen turns black and I can't even see the phone on USB
Also tried loading the Pinnacle_Flasher and I can see the CW recovery menu, but after that point I'm unable to flash an update.zip (Pinnacle_1.2.zip renamed as update.zip on root of ext SD card) from the external SD, and am unable to copy it to the internal SD Card. Connecting the phone to the PC says the USB drive needs to be formated.
Appreciate if anyone can help in recommending any other steps I can take to unbrick the phone

It could be something is corrupt on your internal SD card. Have you tried enetering clockwork mod and mounting USB storage and then hook it up to your computer and reformatting it

updated apps from the marketplace..
Did you actually name it update.zip, or just update?
i had the same issue. trying to look for the posts i made about it. i remember something along the lines of flashing to an old boot loader and an old kernel with cwm then doing all my wipes then doing a master clear via odin then via cwm again then tried flashing to stock. im probably neglecting one of my steps though.
oh and make sure you let it charge via wall plug for at least a half hour before you try anything.
Hello,
I'm a n00b here, don't hate. So basically, I want to make a bootable SD card for my Nook Hd Plus.
I followed the steps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36421852#post36421852 (but instead I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389813 and the latest zip from that site so I could get Android 4.3)
So I burned cwm 7.1 on the sd, booted the Nook up, installed the latest zip file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389813 (This zip I put on the Nook Internal storage, like the steps said)
I click Reboot system, and it goes straight back into cwm.
I fully turned off the device, took card out, THEN booted it up again, but this time it showed the first black Nook screen for about 2 seconds, then showed the cwm boot up screen, the the cynagenmod boot up sequence pops up (THIS WASD WITH THE CARD OUT!)
From cwm, I can see that the internal storage was NOT formatted (thankfully), but no matter what, i can't seem to get it to boot up from ANYTHING (stock rom or sd).
Plugging it into my Windows PC, nothing showes up (but it does recognize it, just no way to view the files inside the internal storage)
PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP, I really hope I did not brick my device
Please help I am new to this stuff and yesterday I got my phone to cm 10.1 but I realized the .zip from the thread was wrong and now i have 4.2.1 running on my phone but 4.3 gapps and because of that my phones keyboard wont work. Also I cant flash new gapps because it doesn't let me install from my external sd and i haven't found a way to connect my phone to my computer.

You can't just... Plug it in to your PC? Don't you have a USB cable?

No it doesn't connect to my computer. Even tried with other computers and wires

If you cannot turn developer mode on and use ADB push, then, you should be able to in CWM.
Failing that, does Google Play work?
If so, install (from your PC via Google Play page) WiFi File Transfer Pro, fire up an FTP session and push the needed GApps over.
And if all else fails...
ODIN back to stock.
I really don't get it
Can you explain this in detail?

Sure thing.
ADB is the debug program for Android. You can use it specifically to push files to the device. But it is not turned on on the device by default. You will need to go into developer options under settings and turn USB debugging on (if Developer Options is not there, go into About Phone and tap Build Number 7 or 8 times tom unlock the feature).
For this to work, you will need a linux PC with an ADB binary (if using Debian/Ubuntu, can "apt-get install adb", then run adb as superuser or sudo) or a windows computer with adbsetup installed. The latter will install the program to C:\adb. So open a command prompt and (with the device plugged in and developer options turned on) type:
Code:
c:
cd \adb
adb devices
You should get a listing of your device, raring to go. If so, great! Copy the the appropriate Gapps package to C:\ADB and type:
Code:
adb push gapps-4.2.zip gapps-4.2.zip
...or whatever the filename is called (there twice as it needs the local and remote file name).
So if that works, can reboot into recovery (CWM) via the three finger salute (turn device off fully, wait a few seconds, hold down both volume buttons while pressing the power button), wipe dalvik cache, and flash the right GApps.
Another option is if you can add Google Play apps to your device. Don't imagine, but if it is possible, fire up your computer and log into your Google Play account. Search for "WiFi File Transfer Pro" and install. With a Wifi connection on the device, it should download and install. If it doesn't, try the scorched earth option below. If it does install, open Wifi File Transfer Pro, turn on FTP server, and keep note of the IP address and Port (Will be noted as IPort). Open or install an FTP client like FileZilla on your PC, and open a connection using that IP address and Port. Transfer the Gapps package over to the device, in the root folder. Then like above, reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik, flash gapps.
The last option, the scorched earth method, is to bring everything back to stock, mind you with root and CWM. Pick option D from the above link (previous post). Download and install adbsetup for the drivers. Option D download will come with a program called ODIN, and that link will have detailed instructions (download and extract the files, open ODIN, put the phone into download mode by turning the device off, hold down both volume buttons while inserting the MicroUSB cable, place the extracted files inthe right sections of ODIN, and flash away).
Hope this helps.
Ok one of my main problems is that I can't use keyboard...which means no internet because I can't type any passwords
And the other big thing is that none of my computers connect toy phone even with USB debugging on from setting and even in recovery
I was wondering if I get a connection with no password will I be update from the phone because there is an option to do so.

Because Google Play is part of Gapps, there is no guarantee that will work either to update. If you can find an unsecured network (or temporarily turn off WPA on your router), you can test this, but at this point, I would be doing the scorched earth method. You would only be going back to Gingerbread, and however you play your cards (whether you disable lagfix or flash ICS as an intermediary), you would only be one or two flashes away from a functional Jellybean.
Ok my phone doesnt connect with usb ive tried several different times.
I did the adb method everything was fine except i didnt get the device list ,it was empty.
So if it cant connect how will i connect it to my computer to use odin?
Ps. I did download the drivers

True enough. Lets try this (as I just thought about it via some other weird, more convoluted way). CM 10.1 comes with a file manager right? Download the 4.2 Gapps onto your mcroSD card, insert it into your device. Fire up the file manager. Copy the Gapps file from the external SD card to the internal card, root folder (where the offending Gapps lies). Reboot into ClockworkMod and wipe Dalvik and install the appropriate zip.
If this does not work, my more convoluted way wouldn't either (search and download "wifi file transfer pro apk" to SD, open with file manager, install, follow the rest of above option 2), and would be out of options except getting your hardware fixed (as it sounds like your device not connecting via USB is a hardware issue).
Ive tried with micro sd before and it hasnt worked
The thing is that All of this stopped working after the update and the thing that i disliked the most was that when i was getting the update it said jb 4.2 gapps but proved wrong
:crying:

You tried mounting the microSD with the proper Gapps, and copying it with CM's File Manager (to the internal disk to be picked up by CWM later)? Just being clear, and making sure you are not talking about trying to install a zip directly from the MicroSD with CWM (as mentioned, and ruled out before). Because these are two completely different things. Is the MicroSD readable at all on your device? Is it formatted properly (FAT32, or even Ext2/3/4, but not NTFS)?
Can you explain the formatting stuff?
charminster said:

Sure. Insert the microSD into your computer, and open up Windows Explorer. There will be a new drive that appears. Right click on that removable drive, and select Properties. Confirm the File System. If it is FAT32, you are okay. If it is NTFS, or exFAT, you will need to format (as the Infuse will not recognize these formats). Press Cancel.
Before beginning, make a backup of the MicroSD card, as we are going to wipe and start from scratch. Then, right click on the removable drive again (and only this drive, or you will cause damage to your computer) and select Format. Change the file system to FAT32. If this is not an option, find and download a disk utility that will (I'm not familiar with them, but google "removable storage format fat32 download" for one). Press start, and wait a few minutes. When done, you can reload your files on the drive (restore your backup), and try inserting it in your Infuse again.
Hope this helps.
I followed all your steps bit the phone still doesnt read it i opened setting..storage..mount external sd
But it wasnt letting me and the same thing trying through recoveryCWM

Probably not, IIRC external SD did not work in CWM for the Infuse. But re-read post #10, what I'm suggesting is getting CWM to read the proper Gapps from the internal card, but placing it there with CyanogenMod's file manager.
CM 10.1 comes with a file manager right? Download the 4.2 Gapps onto your mcroSD card, insert it into your device. Fire up the file manager. Copy the Gapps file from the external SD card to the internal card, root folder (where the offending Gapps lies). Reboot into ClockworkMod and wipe Dalvik and install the appropriate zip.

I cant get it there because i cant do anything with the sd card it doesnt show in file manager either

Sorry, I misread your previous post. Thanks for the clarification. What are the details on the microSD card? Make, model, speed, capacity? If it is a 64+ GB card, it would spell problems as the Infuse was never rated for a capacity that large.
It's a sandisk 16 gb
Sd card
Fat32
No reason why the microSD won't work in the Infuse.
If you have a Bluetooth keyboard you can borrow - or try buying (not sure if it will connect) - but if you can get your hands on one, you could use that (never had to use one so I don't know how they connect) to download the right GApps package to your phone (via the built-in browser).
I'm curious as well, if the speech-to-text works. You could use google now search to find the gapps package ("okay google, xda developers") and browse to the right page. Of course you will need a unsecured network to attempt.
Other than that, unfortunately I'm out of ideas.
Hello!
I just got an Asus ZenPad 8.0 about 6 hours ago, and now I broke it. I rooted it successfully using this guide, but then I updated the firmware, and now it's bricked. I can probably return it with all of the holiday returns policies, but I'd rather keep it. Anyways, here's the problem, and what I've tried.
I found the script in the link above that lets me access CWM recovery. My plan was to format everything, then copy the zip using adb, and install it through CWM recovery. The script temporarily flashes CWM. I can't find another version of CWM for my device, so this is all I've got to work with (I think). This backfired on me because I also deleted my RSA keys. I never thought I needed them in my recovery, and I've done this pleanty of times on my Nexus 6, without the need for keys when working with my TWRP recovery. TL;DR: I can't copy the factory image zip to my tablet.
Here's what I've tried
-------------------------------------------
Using ADB to copy the file (Doesn't work, need RSA Authorizations)
Find a new recovery, then flash it via fastboot, and then use ADB via that recovery (Couldn't find another recovery. Checked CWM and TWRP pages, but couldn't find my device)
Put the zip on my SD card & extract the zip from the card (Error mounting the card. I used another device to format the sd card. No luck. Tried this article and this article)
Booting into safe mode (Still bricked... still didn't work)
Cursing at it
If I can get past the "Permission Denied" and "unauthorized" stuff with ADB, that would be great! I just don't know how to do that.
Let me know if I'm missing anything and what my options are before I return it in a few days. Cheers!
I figured it out. CWM needed a SD card with a capacity of 32gb or less. Since I was using a 64gb card, I couldn't mount it. I stuck in my 8gb card from my Raspberry Pi, put it in, and now it's mounted. I installed it, and now I just have to wait on that.
