so I've got a interesting situation. A friend managed to softbrick his Mini. I don't know how he got it in this state, but, it has TWRP installed, its copy of android does not boot, and it's S-ON. I played with RUUs for a few hours and couldn't get any of them to work. If I can get any working copy of android on it I can then get S-OFF and fix it. As far as I see there's two routes to fix this.
-Get S-OFF without using android
-Get a android ROM on there without S-OFF.
I pretty much have access to fastboot and twrp that can't flash Roms because of s on. Recoveries also have errors about mounting /system or /cache.
Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.

Adding abit more information, I tried using a RUU but get errors because of firmware version. When I get the rom.zip out of the RUU and try to use fastboot to flash it, on windows I get a error about header errors (error 32). On Linux I get errors about the file is too large.
Also, nomatter what recovery I can try, neither can mount either /system or /cache unless you format them, then after a reboot they cant be mounted again.
I had an issue where my os was completely wiped after a botched update attempt. Lol I went through every possible I could think of or find until I see something about using an external drive. So what I did was use fastboot to flash a recovery, which you already have which is good. And then from there I used an OTG cable, and connected my USB drive to it, which had a ROM zip on it and flashed it. It worked. I am bootloader unlocked but not s-off. But as long as you have a recovery you can do this. I actually wasn't even rooted.

I'm still worried about the failing to mount /system and /cache errors. Did you have those as well?

You don't need S-OFF to flash roms. As long as you unlocked the bootloader you can fastboot-flash boot, system and recovery. And so you can flash ROMs when in recovery mode.

I followed that and it got me a working recovery, but both twrp versions and the cwm version won't flash the cm zip, regardless if its modified, if I modify it myself or use a attached update-script. Both recoveries simply say "Failed to flash zip".

Then you should repeat the flashing and have a look at the recovery log right after it. At TWRP it's located at /tmp/recovery.log (don't know for CWM).
Either do a
Code:
adb shell cat /tmp/recovery.log
or pull it to your pc:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

I was running SkyICS on my SR i727 without any problem. Yesterday while rebooting the phone the phone froze. I tried to get into recovery to reflash it. Can't get into recovery!
Then I flashed the stock GB through ODIN (did that 2-3 times) Success, rooted, installed 2-3 versions of CWM recovery through ODIN. ODIN everytime shows success and the phone reboots without any problem BUT I can't get into recovery by any means. Tried all button combo, adb reboot recovery, quickboot apk. Most of the time the phone hangs at the Samsung logo. If it hangs a battery pull and I can boot into GB.
I even tried to flash the stock recovery and booting into it. Same problem
I mainly need a custom ROM or CWM to flash RAT unlocked radio so that I can switch 2G/3G.
Please help guys!!

e2fsck: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

errors given were E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
did you factory reset from bootloader if so you have corrupted your sd card there is a fix let me find it
I did this and this is what Xsmagical and I did to fix it.
Take the stock android recovery from a ruu or stock Rom. (I used the one from 1.85 ruu but it doesn't matter.)
Fastboot flash the stock recovery to your phone and then reboot into bootloader where you originally wiped.
Factory reset from hboot and then Fastboot flash twrp again, mount sd should be available now. Mount sd, copy whatever Rom onto sd card and flash from there.

I just about crapped a brick literally
Ok, I've looked through the help sections, I've Googled my issue [a few times now], so now time to ask for help. [which may or may not be well recieved.]
I was running Viper 3.2.6 fine for about a month, I loved the rom, however I started getting repeated FCs and errors, so I decided to recover my nandroid backup. That didn't work very well, and my phone started to bootloop... I then decided to re-flash viper, re-install twrp [first 2.4.4.0, then when that version wouldn't work, 2.4.1.0] Now when flashing Viper [any JB version I've tried] all my phone does is hang on the HTC startup screen, then reboot back to TWRP. Not to mention that Viper is the only sense ROM that my phone will accept. I've tried fastboot flashing the boot.img, fastboot erasing cache, and running the Nocturnal SD fix to give myself a clean slate to work with.
I'm S-on and HBoot 2.14. Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.
I would post a logcat, but when I tried it would not output anything since the phone is not getting to the rom boot animation.
Try flashing the boot image separately. Or going s-off. I have had troubles with twrp higher than 2.4 before I went s-off.
I always stayed on 2.3

As far as flashing the boot image, I type fastboot flash boot boot.img.
And with the S-Off situation, I looked into that, but most of the tools for that seemingly require a working ROM, as usually they require you to have "usb debugging enabled" Like I stated previously, I've tried to solve the issue myself, to no avail thus far.
Also being hboot 2.14 twrp 2.3.x seems to not have touchscreen.
So you have no working Rom? Or can you flash viper again?

Pretty sure you can s-off purely from boot loader.
2.3.x has working touchscreen for 2.14 and would solve all your issues. You'd have to wipe everything and reflash viper though

Just tried 2.3.1 and no, the touchscreen didn't work, I was looking for a d/l for 2.3.3.x but haven't been able to find one. all of the ones I have found have been removed, or changed to 2.4.4.0
I would be quite greatful if you could point me in the direction of a 2.3.3.x twrp that works.
With S-Off, all the guides I've found by searching XDA [and google, which usually points me back to XDA] state that I need to start with USB debugging enabled, I even tried to start the process in fastboot... still no-go.
So you have no working Rom? Or can you flash viper again?

For s-off, if you don't use supercid, it doesn't seem to work, I did not use super cid, since I didn't need to to unlock my bootloader. I tried that method already.
Though, 2.3.3.1 is working; but viper XL 3.2.6 is still fighting with me... Now it's just hanging at the HTC boot screen with the annoying red script.

The only issue, is that it requires adb; since I cannot get a rom to load; when I adb, it just outputs device not found. I was able to find the file to hex edit using twrp file manager, and edited the right part, but it won't let me over-write the original file... any suggestions?

Sorry I hadnt had to do this till now. OK here's what you need to do. In recovery advanced. Go to terminal command select root dir "/". And then do the "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4" on your phone. This will pull the file. Mount your SD card in twrp and hex edit the mmcblk0p4 file on your sdcard like in my guide then save it in the same spot, make sure file size matches then go back to terminal command and select the root "/" directory again and type
"dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" from your phone. This will push the edited file back.
This is a bit more advanced but will work since you cannot adb. Adb just allows you to use the phones terminal remotely. Instead were actually using it on the phone.

Hi,
I am new to rooting the device. I rooted HTC One X (AT&T) using toolkit by Hasoon2000. I followed all the steps as per my knowledge. Everything went good rooting the device, But when I tried to flash CM 10.1 it was giving me failure error. When I did second time it gave me same error but somehow I thought ROM got flashed and went ahead and flashed kernel. While doing so my cell phone battery was till 50% but once I flashed kernel. Suddenly screen went blank and couldn't turn it on. When try to go into fastboot mode it lights up red led and once and stays there until I hit the power button. After hitting power button it shows the HTC logo and displays the message below logo about device being used for development. then within a second screen gets turned off (no red LED) I tried to keep for charging for at least an hour or so with computer as well as on AC power but results are same. Neither I am able to connect it to computer or charge it. I don;t know what is going on with my device. So please can someone help me with this issue? I would really appreciate if this issue been resolved.
Thanks in Advance.

Flash TWRP 2.6 if you're not using that version already.
fastboot flash recovery twrpfilename.img
Download cm 10.1 Check md5 to make sure download was good. Also, make sure you're downloading the one for our device. Link will be in original android dev section.
wipe everything (except sd card) in twrp 2.6
then flash cm 10.1
If you get an error, tell me what the error is.

Thanks you very much exad. Is it important to have S-OFF? Can I install android 4.3 ROM on HTC One X. Have you tried that? How can I check md5 to make sure CM is good?
S-off allows you to ruu without bricking.
Yes. I am running android 4.3 cm 10.2 right now. There have been bricks reported though that issue should be fixed now.
Use an md5 checker program. Google md5 checker.

Wrong ROM. You have evita not endeavour.
Look before you download and flash wrong recovery and ROM because you are on track to brick your device. You have burnt 2 of your lives already.
You have no idea how lucky you are as your device should already be broken.

Ok. But listen to what Twisteddx said just before, take your time and make sure you're only flashing things meant for your device. He was right, you're EXTREMELY lucky you haven't bricked your phone yet. Only download ROMs from within this forum!

If you are s-on you need to extract the boot.img from the rom you're flashing and fastboot flash boot boot.img or it won't boot. With S-off this step is no longer required.

[Recovery][Unofficial]TWRP 2.7.0.0 & Clockwork Recovery Touch 6.0.4.4 W/loki (D800)
Clockwork recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
TWRP recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
The only difference between official recoveries and this version is that Loki is built in to recovery.
THIS IS ONLY FOR 10d FIRMWARE. IF YOU ARE ON 10o THEN DO NOT USE!!!
You may want to flash 10d firmware. It can be found HERE with instructions. If you plan on using ROMs it is best to flash 10d firmware first.
Install Methods
Flashable Zip - Must have TWRP or whatever custom recovery already installed.
Boot into recovery and flash Recovery Zip file.
Manual Method - With no custom recovery already installed.
Must have Root first. Check HERE for root
Download the zip file to which recovery you want
Extract zip file to C:\
Open command prompt in root of C drive
You will need adb installed and properly setup in your environment variables. If not place the recovery.img wherever your adb file is located.
Type the following commands:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery
Now you should be in recovery.

I have not tested that way but I am sure you can. If you just need the img file than extract from zip file.
If you try then let us know how it worked out
Using flashify works like a charm. Just extract img file and flash using flashify. As a third alternative.

If you been flashing OEM modified ROMs on G2 the speed may have been due to the size of the ROMs.

Will I lose my twrp backups if I flash this clockwork recovery?
If not, then would I be able to restore twrp backups with cwm? May be a silly question but I never tried this and worried about losing backups.
You will not lose them until you delete them but I am not sure if you can restore twrp backups with clockwork.

Does this mount usb-otg? When I try "Mount USB Storage" nothing happens. I am pretty sure TWRP also does not yet support usb-otg. My hopes were CWM did.
Thanks
Adb side load is an alternative for Mount usb. Install Zip --> Install from adb sideload. Unfortunately this didn't work for me either. If it works for any of you guys please let me know the steps you followed. Sideload doesn't work in TWRP also.
In case of a soft brick either Mount usb or adb side load should help. Otherwise you have to go back to stock using Lg tools and start all over again.

Hey guys,
I flashed this and seem to have a problem with formatting the cache- it just stops so I cannot wipe becuase it stops at formatting cache. Anybody else experienced this before? I flashed again with same results.
