[Q] Arc 10HD factory reset has wiped almost everything - General Questions and Answers

Seems I'm an idiot.
Recently bought a Kobo Arc 10HD, my first Android device. I rooted it according to Dazza9075's guide on here. I didn't update the recovery image, because in my ignorance I thought it'd allow me to recover to factory settings.
Apparently not.
I've just reset it, and now I've lost everything. The base OS is still working, but there is no loader, no settings widget, nothing. The battery remaining indicator and time are showing in the top right, the three Android buttons are showing at the bottom. It's powering down the screen properly. That's it. If I press the recent apps button the old wallpaper comes up. Any swiping on the recent apps and the System UI stops responding.
Edit: Might also be worth mentioning it'll only restart after the first power on after a reset - any subsequent attempts and it stays on the Kobo loading screen.
Have I just completely buggered it, or do I have some options available?

Okay, I'm able to sideload using ADB in the recovery settings - is this of any use?

Hello
Yes you can sideload recovery using ADB as given in the guide you mentioned . Ensure that the device drivers and ADB drivers are properly installed on your PC before sideload.
Hope it works

Don't think that's going to help. I'm unable to access dev mode as the settings app isn't there. There's no way to go into ADB shell, I can only use the sideloader mode in the recovery settings.

Flash stock rom back
Sent from my GT-S7582 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Unfortunately don't have one. I didn't install a custom ROM on it because they're unavailable on Kobos. If I get a stock upgrade.zip I think it should work, but I haven't managed to find one.

Hello
Search on the internet if someone has uploaded your stock rom . You can use ADB Fast boot to flash recovery and without stock rom , recovery alone won't help you . If you find a custom rom try that
All the best

I'll try having a further look. Thus far no luck though.
Thanks for the help.

If you go this route you'll need to sniff out the url on an update from Kobo. I know this works on the original arc but they may have smartened up and started using ssl.

[Q] My Nexus S won't boot at all... Help, please

Hi
I'm facing a problem with my Nexus S, before it was working... but, unfourtunatlly i just make some modification in the system file and now my phone not working and stuck at the google logo black screen... exactly, i think the problem in the java runtime.jar file that was in the system folder, i replace it with another file and all that done since i want to add another language to the system so that it can understand it. but, the device now is not working....
I tried to enter the recovery mode and wipe all data, but nothing change. its keep the same. so i tried also to format the system (from the recovery) since, the modification done in that folder... also, its not working....
So, I think the best way right now is to return it to the default rom(official one from google) , i download it, and tried to flash it using the "fastboot" command but it keep give me error when writing for system.img file....
What can I do right know ??? I can't use my device at all...
Help me Guys, please.....
For future reference Factory wipe doesn't touch /system...just /data.
If you formatted your /system, and it actually formatted, all you can do now is restore a working system.
If you didn't make your own nandroid backup of the system (and you ALWAYS should in the future before messing with system level modifications) to have a known working configuration, then your best bet in my opinion is to go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093
Download the nandroid image from there and flash it to your phone using Clockwork Recovery.
Good luck.

But, The question here is.... how can i flash it when i can't get access to the memory(since the Nexus S doesn't have sd memory slot) and to the system ??
when i enter the recovery, all i can do is use the fastboot command.... can i use it here ??
Thanks alot .....
If you boot into Clockwork, you should be able to use it's mounts menu to mount the sdcard...then use adb to push the files to your sdcard. adb should be active and working in clockwork.
If that doesn't work out for you, you could also try the Odin and "download mode" approach from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947950

Hello guys
I have the same problem, but i guess for different reasons.
I applyed the superboot from the modaco´s forum on my nexus s, but I guess I did it with the wrong version (i had got the 2.3.4 ota before doing so and used a 2.3.3 version) and now my phone won´t boot. My rom was stock. Now, it remains on that google initial screen. I can´t get to upload anything for the device since I guess the usb debug mode is off, although when I connect the device to the computer, the system shows the usb driver. I guess my device is GT90 something, can´t say for sure. Have to check at the box.
That said, I´d like some help on what to do about it.
I´ll be forever grateful!

The thing is that i already have clockworkmode installed and i can access it through bootload, in fact is the only thing i can do. My problem is that i just can´t send the recovery.img from the pc to the phone. And I also think that the usb debug mode is unavailabe, so I can´t activate it.
I´m new to this thing so the only way I could move files into the phone was through windows explorer drag and drop. Honestly I´m lost without it.
Is there a different way to push it to the phone ?
I understand this forum is intended to more experienced users, and for that I apologise.
Guys I found a solution by enabling USB from clockwork! Thanks! Keep the good work!

Hi guys,
I'm in a similar situation. I tried to install CyanogenMod 7 to my Nexus S (ATT), got stuck at the skating dude.
Booted back into Clockwork, and tried to flash back to the stock firmware, but I think I accidentally flashed the wrong one (for the 9020T instead of 9020A) build. Now I can't get into ClockworkMod or anything on the screen whatsoever.
Does anyone have any tips at all? I'm really screwed here, would appreciate it a lot...

Hey bante just go to clockwork then to mount/dismount menu and the last option should be mount USB storage. Mount it and stay there and your PC should see the sd card. Then upload what you want.

HTC droid incredible 4g lte not working after flashing boot.img
I have been trying to gain root access to my phone and I found a all in one root from adroid-root.org. I successfully unlocked my bootloader. I went to flash the insecurebootlader.img for fireball because the all in one root required it. When I flashed that the HTC start up screen came up and then the screen went black. I could still access my phone via my cpu. I read in a forum were it might be stuck in bootloader loop. So I rebooted it into bootloader and restored factory settings and now my computer doesn't communicate with my phone at all. It sees it as a adroid storage device and when I connect the usb it brings up my verizon backup, but its like I have completely wiped my phone. It won't connect through adb or nothing. Is there any way someone could help? It would be greatly appreciated.

One S dead after trying to flash CM11

Hi there,
i have a huge problem. As there was no warrenty left for my One S I thought about to change the firmware to CM11.
I have to admit that i don't have any experience in doing such things, but i thought, it couldnt go wrong if i follow a tutorial.
So at first i unlocked the bootloader via HTC website and istalled TWRP 2.7.1 (latest version). Everything went well, I placed the ROM into the phones root directory, started the recovery and then whiped it before choosing install and selected the file. After about 30 seconds the phone reported the step was successful and i pressed reboot. Then there was the HTC starting screen and then a black screen.
After that i had no reaction but the blinking buttons when i press the power button for a longer time. But it changes nothing. No normal boot. No access to fastboot. Only if i connect it to my PC there is an aditional device to see, but whitout any access.
I know I did wrong but i have no idea what or how to fix it. I hope you can help me.
ElDorado1993
Now i found a way to get access to fastboot again, but i dont really know what to do now.
Can you give me an detailed tutorial, for jelly bean or kitkat (dont matter) that is surely working now?
My main problem is that i can't copy my files into the root directory as i cant boot the phone.
Does it show up in computer connected devices?
If it does, download stock kernel and ROM and upload to phone and go into recovery[power +volume up while off] and flash them both kernel first.
Sent from my ZTE_N9511 using XDA Free mobile app
The problem is the phone wasnt ever shown as device on the pc (like a flash drive) since version 4.1 so I allways needed some tricks like airdroid. So i suppose i need adb commands to copy files and i dont have so much experience in doing this.
Do you know how to use adb?You don't need adb I just wanted to know to see if it shows up there and not on computer you simply need to install the drivers.Try holding down all 3 buttons to see if it powers down. Do what it says http://www.technewscentral.co.uk/enter-fastbootbootloader-mode-htc-one/id_7930 if works go into fast boot. Does it say locked or unlocked. If unlocked go herehttps://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver and get the windows installer if your on windows.
Sent from my ZTE_N9511
I now found out how adb and fastboot are working, but the main problem now is, that it says the sdcard cant be mounted. I tried this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25557817#post25850720 but i dont know how to do the first step. Du i need an extra file and where do i get it from and how to use it. As long as i dont get back this access, i couldnt install any OS. I tried also sideload. It was able to copy but cant install because of the missing sdcard access.
I hope you can help me to become my phone running again.
Go here http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xWmnHwkDrKk but first type adb devices in cmd. If it shows ur HTC type adb shell and and type mount sdcard next to the "#" once it appears although you should be using the fastboot shell not adb commands.adb should only work on a powered on device or you can use fast boot in cmd while phone is in fastboot not recovery(you did say the phone can go into fast boot right?). Just make sure you got the right drivers and both fast boot and adb. You should get Koush's Universal drivers from my previous post since some phones have multiple drivers and MAY cause problems with cmd. Also HTC one S doesn't have expandable storage correct?
Sent from my ZTE_N9511
Wow. Now I incidentally soft bricked my phone again if you would believe it and nothing works this time.
Have you been able to fix?
Sent from my ZTE_N9511
Okay, i forgot to write but adb and fastboot are working on my Mac. I use the Mac because Win 8.1 has the known driver problems.
I tried a lot now, but i recognized maybe the main problem. My phone is still S-ON in bootloader. For sure thats the problem. Do I need to get rid of it and how do I do. The tutorial i used hasn't mentioned this step, maybe the person was still S-OFF.
The first thing i try now is to flash the original recovery, lock the bootloader and execute the original signed RUU to get back the original software first. Im going on holiday on tuesday and it would be a pitty without the phone. When I get it working i will leave it, and thy it again, when I'm back. Otherwise.......****
Use this tutorialhttp://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/fix-soft-bricked-htc-one-by-flashing-new-rom-via-adb-0154361/unless its the one you used already. From boot loader you were supposed to have gone to fastboot.boot loader has to be unlocked.From fast boot you flash TWRP.IMG which happens to have a special adb side load feature under advanced options. There you upload another ROM and kernel.here is the full list of supported devices as I don't know what variant or carrier you havehttp://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devicesAlso, a stock kernel is optional but it always seems to fix my problems.
Sent from my ZTE_N9511
Thank you. But I already did it like this. The issue is, than after using sideload successfully the installation fails because of the known "unable to mount storage" text. And i don't know what to do wrong.
Like I already said, my phone is still S-ON, but can this make a difference?
Now i got it to bring the stock ROM running again, and as I'm on holiday for a few days I'm happy it is working again.
But one thing is left. It seems like there is no 3G/HSDPA connection now, only EDGE. I dont know what went wrong. Did you hear about this problem.
By the way, my phone is the standalone version whithout any provider.
Search the forums about edge only. There is a huge thread on this.

[Q] Trapped. Nexus 5 bootloop no USB debugging after 5.0 update

Guys,
I ran into a trap it looks like.
I was about to update my Nexus 5 to official Lollipop from Dev Preview but run into the problem that many has described already, no circle and square menus, no notification, settings inaccessible. Therefore, I decided to go back to official Kit Kat using Wug Fresh since USB debugging I could not switch on.
Now I am on KitKat 4.4. it looks like, but my phone just froze into bootloop.
I seem to have read almost every step-by-step guide, but it looks like, that without USB debugging I can not move. Needless to say, that since I am in bootloop I can not switch that on.
Is there anyone gone through the same and have a fix? Here in Hungary I could not find any expert service who could help.
Have I completely bricked my phone?
Many thanks.

1. Stop using toolkits, you learn absolutely nothing by using them, which is evident here
2. USB Debugging has NOTHING to do with fastboot while in the bootloader or ADB while in recovery. It is ONLY used for ADB while in ANDROID.
Two things you can do:
1. Flash factory images with fastboot while in bootloader
2. If you have a custom recovery (if not then flash one), ADB push a ROM.zip to your device (or if you're using TWRP you can simply use MTP) then flash it
This is not any soft of "brick".
Also you can fix the status bar and home key issue when updating - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57005613

Thanks for trying to help. Consider me a newbie, rookie, whatever, but it is still not clear for me.
What I have experienced is, that even though my bootloader is open there seemed to me no way to flash the Lollipop OTA ZIP without having the USB debugging on. Is that the case? Or is there a way to flash it without it? What is the tool needed? ADB? And how do I do it?
What can I do with a custom recovery installed? And where can I get the one that I need for Lollipop 5.0?
Thanks again. :highfive:

Go to the first link of my signature. You probably just have driver issues.

I f up

My twrp is gone after an ota update on my sailfish. So I thought I'll tried out flashify because I don't have a pc or a laptop. For some reason I thought that flashify can install twrp back. I tried to install it using flashify but it says it ran to a problem, so my stupid brain decide to I flash gapps first using the app because I have deleted some of the gapps. I deleted google playstore with the gmscore. Then my phone stucked on a bootloop, so I did a factory reset and my phone did reboot but now I'm stuck on the android setup which cannot open without google playstore. (f'in great) I cant reboot to bootloader and I cant connect to pc with usb debugging (greatest thing that can happen) Now, does anybody know how to fix this?
Edit: you know maybe im a genius, i fix it by myself
1. Boot to bootloader (mine work again after I type adb reboot bootloader on the terminal. Volume down + power button
2. I tried to reboot to lineage recovery but apparently it seems to ignore it so I flash twrp fastboot flash (I drag my twrp file here)
3. On twrp I reboot to recovery to get to lineage is recovery
4. I tapApply update and the From adb
5. On the terminal I type adb sideload (I drag lineage system file here)
4. And that's it,

Hey there, what happens when you try to get into the bootloader?
I don't want to be rude but next time please refrain from using unconventional methods because these may not give you the results you want if you don't know how to use them correctly. Also, Gapps packages are only meant to be used on custom ROMs that don't bring any Google apps by default.

Is there any chance you can take a photo and show me that screen? Never heard of it before.

Hey aL, that's good to hear. As I've told you before, I think you should stick to normal flashing methods just so you can be sure of what you're doing.
Also, it would be nice if you can post a little walkthrough of what you've done to get your device working again as it can be useful if anyone else reads this thread looking for a solution. Do not forget to contact a mod so it can be closed after a solution is posted.
