Hi.
I own a 3.1 rooted wifi only Xoom running BRD's 1.4.3 Tiamat kernel.
I finished completing these steps from this thread to try and enable marketenabler. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in this constant reboot now after the Moto logo.
I tried pressed volume up as soon as the Moto logo appeared, and the 'starting fastboot......' shows up but just hangs there. Has it anything to do with changing my build.prop?
This is the thread and the steps followed....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065698
**Ok, first of all, xoom must be rooted
Download verizon 3G build.prop from here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6763988/build.prop.zip
Make a backup system/build.prop
Use, root explorer or adb to replace build.prop in system/
go to settings/application and clear data for market
Install marketenabler
Restart Xoom
Now open marketenabler, set to t-mobile us, start market end voila**
Would anyone be kind enough to help me?
I tried pushing my original backup file from my pc into the the directory of the new file I installed hoping to fix the problem with adb, when I reboot, my pc won't even recognise my xoom anymore.
It does connect now.
Any Help?
I figured I could still use Clockwork Recovery.
If I stuff up my system folder in my xoom, is there somekind of back up to replace it?
I've re-flashed my boot image and tiamat 1.4.3 to see if that would work. Did everything as it should, except, I'm still stuck in a boot loop.

sounds like youve messed something up bad, I would search the forums for the instructions on how to set it back to stock, read them carefully of course as doing this wrong could totally brick your device as with any modifications. Once youre back to Stock then you can carefully Root/Patch up to the version you want to..

Hi everybody,
after endless nights and days of experimenting and crying I ask for your help.
My Aim: rooting my HTC One S C2.
So here is my story:
In my first attempt I unlocked my bootloader and tried to put a Custom Recovery on my phone. It failed. I got always stuck at the HTC screen with the red writing underneath the logo ("This build is for ...").
I then found out that I need the superboot.bat to root my phone.
So I proceeded to re-lock my phone and put a RUU on it to get back to the original Recovery.
All went well, so I unlocked my phone again via htcdev.com.
After that I tried to run the superboot.bat but again I am stuck at the HTC screen with the red writing!
I know that this screen should only appear for a few seconds and the phone should go into recovery but I am always stuck endless in this screen. To get out of it I have to soft reset my phone.
So I am not able to root it.
In a video I saw that on other phones the HTC screen with red writing has some kind of a "loading bar" on the upper right which appears after trying to access the recovery.
Well this bar doesn't even appear on my phone
Please help me I really don't know what to do further
same issue here, so subscribing to thread!
If you can get to download mode try to flash stock firmware with Odin. Search for a guide on youtube.

Thank if it helped.It's there for a reason
Ähm isn't Odin for Samsung devices?
This is about HTC... Or does it work for both?
i recommend reading through this guide to rooting the one s. i've rooted quite a few phones using this method and it has worked flawlessly every time

@HidaKureku - thats where i've got stuck; end of part two.
the recovery image seems to flash fine (both of them), and i've done the CWM recovery multiple times (some sites sugest that it works on the second attempt).
try to boot to recovery, and as per the OP it just sits there saying that it's for "This build is for HTC use only..." or whatever it says. no further. I've left it for 10mins in this state have have to power it off.
i have found that when i boot back to the UK retail ROM, it comes up with an error and wants to send it to HTC (i haven't yet been able to grab the error though).
has anyone sucessfully flashed recovery with the hboot 9.02.0001 image? i've seen a post on modaco with a user having the same problems as in this thread....
are you sure you're model has the S4 processor? if not, try this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785777&highlight=twrp
looks like i'm on the s3 version! twrp2 doesn't work either - same issue. (using openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-ville.img)
seems the UK is one of these 'select' countries.
anyway - even an S3 compatible recovery isnt working....
I hope in not threadjacking here. @OP - if im intruding let me know and i'll create my own thread
No you are not intruding as I have exactley the same problem as you!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one I started to think I'm doing something completely wrong.
It's like the stock recovery is damaged even with the RUU version.
I just cannot get past this screen with the red warning!
My HTC One S is kind of new (about 3 weeks old). Maybe something changed with new models?
good news; i'm recovery-ed
you need 'openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-villec2.img'.
It was 'tricky' to find, as the 'villec2' image doesnt appear to have any public links. As per the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785777, Get 'goomanager', allow it to find and download recovery image, however, it wont sucessfully apply with goomanager (you dont have root yet).
It will download this recovery image to to /mnt/sdcard/goomanager/ (you can change/confirm it in goomanager menu options)
mount storage & copy this to your computer. Use fastboot to flash as per the unlock/recovery/root guide.
i dont mind hosting the file, but the above should be the quickest way
Yes!!!
That's it!!
Thank you so much
You made my day
Thread can be marked as solved!
now that you know you have the s3 processor be careful which roms you flash, make sure they are compatible with your version. the rom i'm running (check my signature for the link) is supposed to be compatible with both. but just read carefully and flash responsibly

Thanks for the heads up, although that JB ROM in your sig says S4 in the title (thats about as far as i got )
@Schlengge - glad your sorted too i didnt even realise i was on s3 untill tonight; i thought all UK HOS's were s4's - seems not.
yeah XD i went back and looked at it and realized i got it confused with one rom i saw that was supposedly compatible with both processors (which struck me as odd) but there are a few roms out there for the s3, sadly not as many as for the s4, but you should be able to find one you're happy with. best of luck

well, thanks for that advice. It is kinda confusing to find a recovery for c2 version of the ONE S, cause any other recovery will not work with it. The twrp-team should definatly add the link to that on their website.
I was wondering if it's safe to flash new ROM with a custom boot animation active?
I want to update my SynergyROM as it's gotten slow and clunky, though it's about 40 revision behind the times. I haven't messed with customizing my phone for months, however, and am a bit rusty. I downloaded the latest SynergyROM, made my backups, and was just wondering about this. In fact, I'm searching for my bootanimation.zip right now, not sure where I manually installed it... lol
Also, apparently there is a way to just flash boot images now? Anybody have a link to some solid info?
Thanks in advance!

bootanimation.zip is in /system/media, so it'll get formatted when you flash a new rom anyways.
I'm assuming you're referring to bootanimations or splash screens, not boot.img's ..... But then again confused by what you're asking. Bootanimations just need to be put in a zip and the updater-script push it to /system/media. Splash screens there's a thread explaining how-to.

Here is a link to a tool to do this for you straight from the gnex forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614827
Manually:What you need to do is find the actual cwm img to flash with fastboot.
Then use the supersu zip to flash supersu.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
If you want to support me then you can use my environment for adb by using the link in my signature.
Just run the script and place what you need in the created Work folder.
Then flash with instructions.
Or use my shortcuts to flash with fastboot.
example given in line by line format:
fbfl
recovery.img
Alright thanks I will try this.:thumbup:

Looking for one as well. I have not found one.
Recovery is actually preinstalled
I found this just tooling around. Use your favorite file browser, I used
Total commander. /system/vender/itson
The zip file is there. Hope this helps. (Rooted LG ls620)
Could you explain in a little better detail on what you mean Enigmatic177... I'm pulling my hair out Hehe
If anyone makes or finds a working recovery please post it.
Itson is a zip file that was installed after last update it has the basics to unlock the boot loader. I unpacked it used Rom toolbox pro rebooted to RECOVERY did regular reboot system upgraded.
A couple if bit mapp errors 11111. Then I basically flashed CWM.
Before you do this the partitions change from ext2-ext4. I'd advise
Backing them up.

TWRP recovery help L620 LG Realm
hello I followed the steps in the read me file and i succeeded in installing twrp although im having troubles booting up to my system os. when i power on my device it takes me straight to twrp. i have a feeling i might of missed a step. i tried creating a backup but i cant because i noticed my screen turns off fast. do you think you might know what might be the problem why i cant boot up to my os? thanks!
I think i know what seems to be the problem. I think i might have accidentally replaced the boot img with the twrp recovery img. i did not make a backup before this happened. is there anything i can do to make my phone boot up to its normal image? thanks
Nope. It is officially a paperweight and no one I know of has access to the stock ROM either.

Hey
Has anybody found a custom rom?
Finally. Easy as pie
Ok, I downloaded an image (w5c_twrp_bumped.img)
put that img on the root of my sd card
downloaded Rashr from the google play store
opened rashr and tapped 'recovery from storage', navigated to external sd and tapped the image and tapped
ýes please'
flashed it. after the flash the phone rebooted into the twrp recovery.
then just rebooted back into the system
worked perfectly.
im new here im not allowed to post outside links yet, just google "w5c_twrp_bumped.img" should take you to a link for a download of that recovery
i got twrp now as a custom recovery. on my lg realm.

You have the bumped recovery so all i can say if u messed up is to flash a stock rom u can find on google i had to re flash mine a few times messing with root
right on, thanks for the info. I had no problems at all. it all fell in place like i was hoping. The Realm is the easiest device Iv ever rooted, flashed, and messed with. Well, as far as rooting and flashing a custom recovery. dunno bout roms though. Im sure its simple?

OK, I grabbed and extracted this. I used Flashify to simply flash the recovery (w5c_twrp_bumped.img) and it works like a dream on my LG Realm.
OTOH, trying the same on an Exceed 2 gets me TWRP, but it cannot mount much of anything and the backup fails. After failing, it tells me "No OS found, continue?" I continue and get the message "Appears your device has no Root, install now?' I am absolutely certain I have root, or wouldn't even be able to run Flashify, so I continue and it simply boots into the OS just fine. Perhaps the readme isn't complete, as I see the following file in the extracted folder (resources.zip) with no explanation of why it's there. It "appears" to be a flash-able zip that installs "itson" (whatever THAT is). Note that the Realm has this in the /system/vendor/itson, yet the Exceed 2 doesn't.
Have you actually used this on an Exceed 2? And if so, what am I missing here?

I'll do you one better. Just forget about the post you replied to, as it's convoluted as hell. Install TWRP 2.8.6 from here. Ignore the big red warning about the Realm, as he evidently hasn't updated the OP. You can view my notes regarding the Realm in this reply. Tested several times and verified working better than anything else available. Easiest recovery to install I've ever dealt with (all done with an .apk). The option to access via cold boot (battery pull procedure) is something to behold
Be sure to thank the developer, even if you need to create an account to do so. Very VERY nice work!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before you replied I installed the version 2.8.5 from here:
http://androidforums.com/threads/twrp-2-8-5-0-for-realm-ls620-and-exceed-2-vs450pp.908704/
Is 2.8.6 better? Looks like the 2.8.5 can't be booted into via key combo from power off? Are there any other differences? I just used the Rashr flash tool from the market to flash 2.8.5. Worked flawlessly. This is actually my mom's phone and it wanted to do a system upgrade but I wanted to back it up first so that's the reason I wanted a recovery.
Pretty cool though, this recovery installs just via an APK!!!? That's amazing!
I'm tempted to install this on her phone next time she comes over... it should be fine right?
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

That one will cold boot with the battery pull procedure too. A little further down that thread you'll see I modded it to work correctly with the Exceed 2 in addition to the Realm. I like the 2.8.6 better if only that the dates of the backup are correct now. The 286.apk will work fine and overwrite your current recovery. If you leave it installed, you can always open it and reboot to recovery from within the app. If I have more time I'll post a screenshot, but running late for work. I think the screen dimming/timeout issue was fixed as well, but I haven't verified that. I normally disable that in TWRP anyway, as I like to monitor what it's doing during a backup/restore in case of errors.
