I accidentally installed busybox by CWM but it was designed for galaxy tab 10.1 instead of galaxy note 10.1. Now, the device has some problems like it does not detect the sim cart and so on. I can install new frameworks and I have CWM but nothing happens when I install new framework or wipe the device. Also, I tried a stock rom but .... .
I really need help.
sorry for bad english.

Never would have guessed busybox that is usually pretty generic and doesn't have much to do with nonroot apps would cause issues like what you seem to be experiencing.. crazy stuff but good luck!
If nothing else Odin back to newest stock using the stock Odin package that is usually found among your device "stickied" threads. I don't have a gnote but I have had many galaxy devices and Odin is the cure for all ills

How can I reset the device to first time run state. Like it asked me about personal info and gmail account at start up?
each time I install new framework it begins to the OS without asking about these info.

Could always try to install busybox from the market.. Exactly what zip did you use and where did it come from please I would like to look inside it

Flash stock in ODIN. Wipe data/factory reset in stock recovery. Reboot. Enjoy.
Check Triangle Away thread for flash counter. You didn't do your homework. You should learn how to recover your device BEFORE you frak it up. Good luck.

There is point when I start in system recovery it shows:
E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
is it ok?
also the yellow hint in the screen that I showed in the first comment indicates a software error.

Thank you for your help. But I think I have a different problem. I flashed stock rom (several big roms about 1GB) but nothing happened. When I try to wipe data/factory reset it shows E; failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument). I think I need to mount /efs and format it.

I think I missed some files in the efs folder. the phone status shows that some basic info are missed from the phone. check the attached.

Kies just saved my phone

Here's the story:
I got excited about the bootloader vulnerability (Loki) being released, and I saw that a few devs had updated their ROMs to work with Loki so I decided to give it a shot.
The easiest, fail-free way of installing a recovery was to install TWRP through goomanager. I had only ever used CWM, but I figured it couldn't be that difficult to learn/use. And it wasn't, I'm just dumb. I went to wipe my S4 and I misunderstood what I was supposed to do and ended up formatting the phone instead. On CWM, this is normal and basically just means factory restore, but on TWRP this wipes everything, including the OS. This might not have been as big of a problem if that wipe hadn't just erased the ROM I was intending to install.
Long story short, with no OS on the phone, I was stuck on the Samsung boot screen and I could not even get into recovery. I tried ODIN restoring the stock firmware twice, but despite the fact that ODIN said "SUCCESS", my phone was in the same state. After panicking for a couple of hours :crying: and trying different things (including just leaving the phone alone for a while in hopes that I would come back and it would be magically fixed) I downloaded Kies. I figured, Kies comes directly from Samsung. If there's a way to fix my phone, this has to be it.
I did the emergency firmware recovery, and it took forever and when it was done it looked like I was going to end up right where I started, when after about a minute of the Samsung boot screen, I saw the heavenly blue-purple swish of the boot animation. :victory:
tl;dr: I thought I bricked my phone. I brought it back to life with Kies.
That's my story. Hopefully it'll help someone who is panicking that they just borked their new phone and helps them restore it.

I'm sad to say that I also wiped a phone with TWRP. It wasn't an S4 and I didn't need Kies.
I had no idea that it would delete the OS - I don't think there was even a warning.

What ROM were you going to use that supported Loki?? I can't seem to find one anywhere...

You can still mount to USB through recovery and transfer a ROM zip over and then flash it.

all you have to do is boot to recovery, and push a rom through adb to your phone. I've done this dozens of times accidentally and the easiest way to avoid it is to keep a backup rom on your sd at all times

Or the easiest of the options that I already mentioned 4 posts up... Don't even need to bother with adb or taking off your back cover. Plug in, mount, click-and-drag file transfer, unmount, flash, done.

I'm just glad you got it taken care of OP. Hopefully this thread will help others who may have a mishap while flashing ROMs.

To all of those talking about recovery... maybe I wasn't clear. It's not that I couldn't get into TWRP. I couldn't get into recovery mode at all. I could get into download mode, which is why I went the ODIN route. Whenever I would try to boot into recovery, it would show the little blue text on the top right of the screen, and the proceed to throw me right back to the booth screen.

This is incredible. Incredible how badly you almost screwed yourself over with, and incredible that Kies was actually helpful.
I installed Kies to backup contacts, once. After that? Thing crashes on updates, takes 30 minutes to load, hated any music I threw at it, didnt like my wireless transfer setting....
idk I had a pretty bad experience with Kies, i'm glad to hear that program isnt all useless.

Yea that part doesn't make sense though. Many times I've seen people try to boot out of recovery with no system and always be able to get right back into recovery. Not that I don't believe you, just saying it's weird. Which leads me to the guy above... he didn't really screw himself that bad, no danger of bricking at all, just needed a reflash.

Just FYI on Kies
Am not sure on windows pc, but on my imac adb does not work with Kies. Had to use the Kies uninstaller to get if off imac then use adb. Maybe this isn't an issue on all phones?
Just got s4, and coming from HTC One S. So, if this is old news, sorry--

Yeah me too, was and still am not happy about it. Should gave stuck to CWM. TWRP is a cool recovery, as long as you realize what you hit.
Glad Kies worked! Now that I have an Att phone I can utilize it again. Wouldn't recognize my International SGS3, so Kies was useless.

[Q] Plz Help! Stuck in BootLoader!

Hi all, I'm pretty new to the forums, so please forgive my noob-ousity.
I have got a Nexus S it's a I9020A, I Rooted and unlocked my phone a long time ago, and all was well and good for a while, then I started getting major slow downs, So I started doing a regular format to try and get rid of clutter, and it helped for a while, then last night I got tired of it always bogging down, so I did something very stupid, I went to recovery and formatted/wiped everything that had the option to do so.
Now my phone reboots directly to bootloader, I can go into recovery and I have the clockworkmod v5.8.0.2,
I have tried;
- Updating to the newest clockwork (6.0.3.1), it just makes it so my pc no longer recognizes my phone and I can't copy anything to the sdcard. So I had to revert.
- Using the Sabra One Click Root Tool! to recover things to a normal state, (a google search on my troubles prompted me to try this). It doesn't seem to change anything. When this finishes, just before getting the "congrats ur device is now rooted blah blah blah" I get a few errors that flash on the screen saying;
can't remove recovery-from-boot.p
can't remove install-recovery.sh
postrecoveryboot.sh not found.
- Freeboot and adb, neither seem to want to pick up my device even though everything else seems too.
- Copying update.zip and running it from the clockworkmod interface, it doesnt seem to change anything.
I'm sure I'm just missing something, but when I google my issue I get a lot of people stuck in bootloader unable to do any of the stuff I tried. Nothing that really has my exact problem for my phone.

Try Nexus Root Toolkit. Works flawlessly if you read the instructions carefully.

I did exactly that, when doing a search, all the different tools one can use, the options can be kind of intimidating, especially when you don't know really what your issue is, the Nexus Root Toolkit does pretty much everything. As you said, it works flawlessly.
I flashed back to stock, and it works again.
Thanks so much for your help

When I downloaded the Nexus toolkit, it asks you what device you are using and what version, just tell it the newest one, in my case it was android 4.1.2 JZO54K and it will automatically download the original firmware for you, at least that was my understanding.

[Q] I think I broke my nexus 5. :(

Hey everyone,
I am new to the android phone arena and would appreciate some help.
I bought the nexus 5, rooted it and was attempting to flash CyanogenMod 11. I didnt realize I need a windows computer to do and was trying to do it through the phone itself. (i know, i know...terrible, like I said, I'm new)
The phone froze and will not even restore from a factory reset. It is like it is trying to reset from the CyanogenMod ROM (which wasnt installed properly in the first place). I have tried restoring from a backup, but none exists. I tried mounting a flash drive with the stock hammerhead ROM on it, but it will not mount. I am using ClockwordMod Recovery v6.0.4.4.
Can anyone help me?

Ok lets try decrypting this first.
It sounds like you got through the rooting process,and got yourself a custom recovery. Ok
You flashed CM11, but it started to boot loop on you.You tried to revert back to stock, but you failed to make a backup. Now you are stuck since you cant mount the phone as a disk from recovery and restore a working rom.
Is this what is going on?
If so, you still have hope. You can use adb from the boot loader and push the stock firmware back on.
Follow this thread and start over from the beginning.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701
Yes, Un-root, go back to stock and try this again. Next time, make a backup before Flashing like mad.

No image wronge image is not your problem. That simply means you don't have an RUU file on your SD card. The bootloaderr checks each time you enter it looking for an RUU file because that's how it flashes them.
fastboot flash TWRP. Boot the phone into TWRP (recovery). Copy the rom you intended to use to your SD card/internal storage. Flash that rom in TWRP.

but I get the same end result. If that's what you mean. I'm not really sure. If not, how do I flash anything if the phone doesn't seem to show up on my computer where all my hard drives are. Can I do it through the command prompt?

I'm totally lost, I tried googling what you said but a whole bunch of super complicated stuff shows up. I'm gonna need to take some baby steps here. What file exactly am I flashing and how?
