Hi all, Have been reading here for quite a while before flashing my Sprint Hero.
I used the Z4 Root method, d/l busybox and clockworld recovery as you showed in the video. All worked perfectly. Cleared all of the caches. Flashed with aospMOD 0.9.9.2, and now phone boots into this mod.
One issue is there is no market, I cannot get back to the flash prog to flash the googleapps.apk, which is in the root of my SD card, as well as the Z4 Root prog. When I click on these to install, the HTC Sync App Installer starts and advised me to connect a phone...?... I can go to the Market via the browser and d/l from there, but HTC Sync will not recognize my phone now when attempting to install a new app or just sync. I'd like to play with some different mods, but when I hold down the Phone and Home buttons, I'm brought to the stock recovery which just resets the data in the phone.
If I have not given enough info please let me know,
Any assist would be appreciated...

Well, I remember way back from the early days of FTA that learning a new hobby is quite fun. I simply made a "learning" error; I was NOT rebooting the phone so I could see the Recovery screen, I was merely powering it on and off. Once I hit reboot and saw the Recovery option I realized I hadn't read enough
I initially installed the first recovery image using the terminal commands as outlined on this site; Worked great!
Got it all working now and feel confident in playing around without bricking...

Hi, I'm a super newbie with a nice gs3 who have been toying around with rooting and roms for a bit.
recently, I noticed that my clockworkmod folder was taking up great amount of space in my phone memory (approx. 4 gigs)
so I decided to delete the folder and re-root my phone.
After re-rooting, all my phone now does is stay on for a bit, freeze, go to a black screen, and then turn back on.
It has repeated this cycle for infinite times now.
I've tried the to reboot into recovery mode by pressing vol.up+power+home, but all it does is stay on the samsung reboot logo.
I've also tried to soft un-brick the phone with odin, but the process always fails and it doesn't even seem to be able to start the process.
It seems to be able to recognize the device, but won't do anything else further and keeps telling me it has failed.
My decision to delete the clockworkmod folder was a super stupid decision.
Have I hard bricked my phone? Is it soft brick? Or have I just completely sabotaged my phone to a whole new degree?
I have no idea what has happened and desperate for a fix while crying in the corner of my room.
Please help!!!
Sounds like you just deleted a nandroid by deleting the clockwordmod folder. That shouldn't effect the phone functioning at all. What do you mean by "re-rooting?" Deleting that folder wouldn't effect root not sure why you tried to re-root. It sounds like something went wrong during the "re-root" process. What method did you use when trying to do that?
You soft brick your phone. I believe You didn't have to root an already rooted phone. In Odin you must click PDA(must be checked also) and choose your stock ROM. Your phone must be in download mode for you to even start the process. I will also like more details like root method and what version android your running.
From what i've been hearing- I should ditch my triumph and maybe get a samsung gallaxy2 prepaid. Until i have $ for that i thought I'd try the cygen mod.
My phone was already rooted. I tried to put on clockwork as instructed on various forums.when igot to the part about swpping the recovery image when i tried to boot into cw ( pressing power vlume up and down) all it does is vibrate with a black screen. I have to take battery out to stop it.
Then i realized I already had clockwork on the phone i forgot i had downloaded ROM manager( with the derbyhat clockwork orange eye logo) long ago.
When i plug the phone back up to computer i still get the mobile drive so is it still in download mode?
I tried : making sure my battery is charged
re-downloading various recovery images and swapping
taking the .img off the file before unplugging
making sure there no space before the word recovery
When i try and ress power and volume down the phone does nothing
when i press just power it just vibrates continuous black screen
when i press all buttons at once it just vibrates continuous
how do I get my phone back the way it was before i tried this or make this clockwork work? I've been searching on the net all day and can't really find a clear straight answer. I found some leads but the links were old and broken. I feel like a cat chasing my tail!
Also someone recommended reformatting the mobile drive so i did that and now there is nothing in that file except the new recovery img i tried to put there. No boot img or eetc. didi I make things worse??
I really need help now cuz I have no phone that works- I am constantly worried my kid might need to call me from camp and can't reach me!!
If you have a fix could you please explain it simply so a newbie or child could understand? i am not a developer or anything. Just a girl try ing to get her phone back working.
Thanx in advance !:crying:
Problem Solved
I ended up reformatting my mobile drive since i had also accidentally wiped out all the files. Then i found a link for all the files that were missing on another forum and i reinstalled everything. then i tried to boot my phone. it still did not work so i plugged the phone into a wall charger and then tried to power on and it worked.( the battery was dead). my phone was back to normal intact! :victory:
Same problem
My phone has the same problem as yours .I have been trying fo a week on multiple forums to find an answer with no success. I see someone replied to you about reformatting ,but as far as I know that would require the phone to function well enough to get into a mode of some kind . Please if you don't mind would you drop me an email ([email protected]) if you come up with a solution . It is making me crazy, LOL ..If I find a fix for this I will contact you here or you can send me contact info and I will email you : Thanks ,my name is Paul

Well help hath arrived if you don't have it fixed already. I know XDA doesn't like it when we link to another site, but the Triumph guys normally hang out here: http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/ It's just more convenient for us. Honestly we were thinking about XDA due to XDA's excellent uptime (XDA is great, by the way) but AndroidForums stopped crashing years back so we stayed. Nothing against this site (I use both about equally) but we can continue the discussion here. Also, your fix lies here and don't read most of the first posts. The actual fix was from g60, and he kept a back up of Austrie's old files on his new server. The original link went dead, but you can find what you want here.
This post doesn't seem to match others asked before.
I had a perfectly working rooted/rom'd HTC One (M8). Unfortunately, screen cracked so I sent it off to the insurer to sort. It came back looking great. However, I was now unable to access any of the internal storage. Everytime I tried to download a photo, voice clip or Mod Edit: removed mention of warez it would say 'unable to download', 'cannot save' or something along those lines.
I checked to see the device was still rooted. It was. Nevertheless, I perhaps in ignorance, ran through all the steps over again and spent 3.5 hrs doing so! I now have a wonderful adb file on my desktop and I was fiddling around doing fast reboots etc and trying to flash a customrom in the hope that this would fix the storage invisibility/lack of permissions. I tried fixing with busybox etc but I couldn't even install busybox as it didn't recognise that there was any internal storage whatsoever! I also could not load onto my storage (for the same reason!) the latest SuperSU zip to flash as a rom.
In the end, through fiddling about, I was able to find my old storage pack. It was all there and I located an old SuperSU from when I had previously rooted about 6 months ago (an old version now I assume). Flashed this and rebooted. I was still adb connected so ran a fastboot and chose to run the TeamWin Recovery Wipe (standard setting, not advanced).
When wiped, I tried to get my phone to turn back on thinking it would be factory reset and I could start again but now I literally cannot get my phone on!! It is plugged into the computer via USB (i've tried disconnecting it too) and no matter what I try I cannot get this phone to do anything now - it's just a black screen that doesn't look completely off if I look closely it looks like it is on somehow....? Tried holding down vol down and power - nothing. It has flatlined!
Any help PLEASE!!!!! ?????
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help is in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8 To get help on your specific problem try asking here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/help-thread-htc-one-m8-questions-t2897783
So, I followed all the basic instructions of getting ADB, downloading and flashing twrp, and my goal was solely to root my phone so I went ahead and got SuperSU as well and installed it through twrp. Everything went fine until I went to reboot my phone and it wouldn't work, it would only boot into twrp no matter what I did. In a moment of foolishness, I decided to go to the reset section of twerp, and switched to partition A (it was on partition B, where everything had been installed). Now my phone only has a black screen, and no amount of trying to soft reset or anything is turning it on. The only indication I have that my phone is doing anything, is that when I plug it in to my pc I can hear the connection sound. I can't access any files on the phone, and ADB doesn't recognize that the phone is plugged in. It's a Moto g7 power phone, and I used the latest versions of the programs. Also, I did do something of a ****ty backup before I started the process, but since my phone wasn't rooted I don't know how much that'll help me. All the stuff I find online says to just install a stock rom or whatever; but I can't even access my phone to do that. Is there ANYTHING I can do or am I ****ed?
Thanks so much for any and all help
