[Q] Bush build.prop to bricked phone - General Questions and Answers

Hi, all.
I tried to change build.prop but it turned to brick. I have my copy of build.prop but I can't push to phone using ADB, because it turned brick and not able to set USB debugging mode.
Is there any way I can edit build.prop from my PC or replace build.prop into my phone?

if you have a custom recovery you should be able to mount usb storage from the recovery.

If you have a custom recovery, install another Rom.
If you don't want to do that, simply connect your USB cable while your device is in recovery mode then adb push the file. It'll work
If you don't have recovery then try booting it into fast boot and trying it.

Dear TheArc, I don't have another Rom or image for recovery.. =(
Also, my phone turned to brick. So, I can not my phone set as USB debugging.
Therefore ADB doesn't work at all.
How do I work with fastboot? I never tried this.
Is there anyway I can replace build.prop from my PC except ADB?

[Q] stuck in boot loop / pc not recognizing phone with adb

Hi,
I tried to install a ROM but it got stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo. I tried to do factory reset but it gets stuck again. I don't have clockwork recovery, and I rooted my phone using adb and ace recovery, which is not on my phone. I only temporarily used it to flash my rom, stupid I know. :-/ When I connect my phone to the PC it is not being recognized. I tried putting the PD98IMG.zip file on my sd card but it just says that it the image is incorrect. Is there anything I can do? Is this fixable?

I just went through some similar stuff. What type of computer are you using? PC/Mac? Are you using the original cable? What troubleshooting steps for connectivity have you done? Different cable? USB port?
Can you access the bootloader screen when you pull the battery and reboot while holding the volume button down and holding the power button? By accident, I found that the phone and PC will communicate with each other when "Fastboot" is selected on the bootloader screen (you should hear a connection chime and it should change to "Fastboot USB") except I could only get fastboot commands to work. The good news is that should be enough to flash a boot or whatever else you need to get back in business.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.I am using windows 7. I downloaded the drivers for HTC, and I am using a data cable and the USB port in the back of my computer, nearest the mother board. I do see "Fastboot USB" on the phone but when i type in the command prompt "adb devices" I get nothing.

That's great you're getting the fastboot usb message! As long as you're not using a hub or some other usb extender, any functioning usb port on the pc will do. Again, I learned this by accident (ie the hard way) and found that in this mode, only fastboot commands will work, not adb. (on a side note, and others should correct me here, adb and fastboot work together when the phone is rebooted normally or in recovery but not in the bootloader screen)
Great test for connection: fastboot devices (if you get anything else except a serial # with fastboot after it, then close the cmd window, unplug, and pull battery/reboot to bootloader), fastboot reboot-bootloader. Once it reboots back into the bootloader screen, make sure you press the power button while fastboot is selected and you should again hear the chime and see fastboot usb come up. This is your phone saying it's ready to accept your fastboot commands.
Do let us know how it works.

As far as I know, fastboot only works when your phone is in fastboot mode. ADB works in recovery or system.

Flash a rooted stock ROM from recovery. Whether you have root is in your system partition. Whether your bootloader is unlocked is in your bootloader. Whether you have a custom recovery is in your recovery partition. Three separate things.

I'm guessing that you're trying to flash a PD98IMG.zip or a RUU. You need an actual stock rooted ROM, probably from here on the forum. Or just flash Android Revolution HD, an optimized rooted stock ROM, also from here on the forum in the development section. For more specific steps read the Ace Think Tank linked in my signature.

Dear friends,
I have this problem: I got a brand new TCL S720 and the Google Play did not work, being a known rom issue. So, before doing anything, I've managed to make a backup of it's original rom with MTK Droid tools whichI supose it did it well. Then I've tried to install a CWM recovery to try a custom rom for it. The CWM recovery seemed to install succesfully but I didn't manage to install the new rom. If I remember well, it stucked on boot logo. Then tried to revert at it's original stock recovery, managed to have the phone back as it was in initial state, but doing more tries, It remained stucked on boot logo. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognise it anymore, when I connect it to USB it tries to install MTP usb driver but even before the driver was installed well, now it refuse to install, like the driver is not good or the proper driver doesn't exist. So the only thing I can do is to boot on stock recovery but even I tried to copy the original rom update.zip on external SD and to flash the phone using install update from sd card in recovery mode, It doesn't find the external sd card. So I'm stuck here, the computer doesn't detect the phone to try flashing it with SP flash tool or MTK Droid tool, and I also can't flash it from sd card. Have you any idea how to make it work again?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Nexus 5 bricked and USB cable not working

I bricked my Nexus 5 by installing the kernal from touchcontrol.
I can get into recovery mode.
I can not mount the USB storage or access any of my phones files
I've tried installing ADB drivers but that didn't help.
Anyone know what I should do to fix this?

Download the stock kernel zip from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319202404 and place it in the fastboot folder. Then reboot in recovery and choose adb sideload. Open cmd and type : adb sideload namekernel.zip and press enter and that should do it, then reboot.

Hello,
When the phone is in recovery mode, the file explorer won't show up with your nexus files... The fact that a sound is coming proves that the phone is being detected...
If you have setup a working adb environment you can follow what @gee2012 has said and sideload the kernel and flash it... If you haven't then download the android sdk and make sure you have downloaded the usb_driver package as well...

First, don't yet think your phone it's bricked. The actual solution is to get the proper driver on the computer. Remember that nexus 5 does not have Sdcard and there's not way to mount to the computer via recovery. Only ADB PUSH and ADB SIDELOAD will put a Rom into your phone.
You have to check on device manager to see the status of the driver. if t shows as Nexus 5, you will have to update the driver to and adb compatible one. If it says ADB........ then, you are good to go
EDIT: @vin4yak, one day I'll go to ninja school too
1.) If your device is actually bricked then a USB cable will do you absolutely no good. Fixing a "bricked" device is something that will need to be JTAG'd for it to work again. I think you might be mistaken about what a bricked device is. Its pretty hard to brick a nexus device so I highly doubt you're device is bricked.
2.) You have to get into fastboot mode. Just search for how to do so. Then you can flash the stock img's through fastboot and you'll be back in business. I have no clue about what drivers you'll need for your setup as I haven't run windows in 9 years or so. Just get the drivers, fastboot, and get your nexus back.
Why don't you just flash a boot.img from the stock rom? Or going back to stock?
You cannot mount sdcard to the pc in recovery. You have to use adb push or adb sideload.
To make adb work in recovery you need naked usb drivers 0.73.
Then you can adb sideload a rom, or push a rom to /sdcard.
Anyway download my attachment, put your phone to fastboot mode and double click on flash.bat then report me back
Check out this thread. If you can boot into recovery, then you should be able to boot into fastboot and restore your N5 back to stock.

[Q] Retrieving files with a dead screen

Hello,
I just broke my nexus 5 screen but the device is still working. I'd like to retrieve some files from my phone before buying a new one, like pictures or SMS for example.
Here is what I can do :
- Boot in fastboot mode
- Flash a custom recovery (ex : TWRP)
Here is what is not working :
- Device is not recognized in Windows file folder, then I suppose that MTP is not enabled
- no developer mode enabled
- no USB debugging mode enabled
- Then ADB is not working
By the way, the device is not unlocked and not rooted.
I tried to flash and boot into TWRP mode but I don't know how to "drive" it from my computer as the device screen is not working.
Could somebody help me please ?

You can`t, the bootloader is locked so you can`t flash custom stuff like a recovery. And even then you couldn`t know what buttons you`ld press if you can`t see what you`re doing.

Unlocking the device wipes the device, so this kills the whole purpouse of your question. Might as well do nothing and get the phone repaired or buy a another one.

if bl is not unlocked... you won't be able to flash a custom recovery to use ADB to pull files.. so.. you're done here.
I maybe found a solution but I need a specific apk.
I may use the sideload mode to push and install a ROM or an apk. The best would be to push/install an apk from sideload mode, and this apk would automatically launch itself at device startup and will activate USB debugging mode which will allow me to fully use adb.
What do you think about that ? Would you know an apk which would do that ?
Or secondary option, push a specific ROM with USB debugging enabled by default. But I'm afraid that it could erase all my data.

Can you try ubuntu.
download a live cd version and boot into ubuntu or maybe a smaller version of linux (i know ubuntu works)
once booted into ubuntu plug in the phone.
usually linux can read the file system even when windows can't
You can't flash anything unsigned with stock recovery.

Yes it does. And it's responding in fastboot and sideload mode. So the phone is working, it's just the screen which ia dead.
The only way is to install a custom recovery. There is no other way. However as you said, unlocking the bootloader will erase everything.

sorry that did not work.
when connected to ubuntu and you type "fastboot devices" do you get a response?
If so ubuntu can not browse file system in fastboot mode, you need to reboot back to the OS.

-Is your bootloader unlocked?
-What recovery do you have?
Available signed flashable ROMs: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/mirrors-for-official-cyanogen-roms-ota-updates.141825/
Find yours or just chose one, and download the signed flashable zip, then copy it to the phone (while in recovery the phone has MTP enabled on the PC) then just flash that ROM from the recovery, this will overwrite system but won't touch data and most likely fix the bootloop.
Before rebooting after flash wipe cache and dalvik just in case.
Next time do a nandroid backup if you have sensible data. I usually don't keep anything important on the phone, everything on google drive.

Which recovery? Stock or twrp? I'm not sure that when you have stock recovery on the phone gets recognized as mtp on the PC.
I can think of adb to push the ROM zip on the PC but if you claim it doesn't get recognized I have no clue. Are you sire you have the google USB drivers installed?

Install fastboot,adb and google USB drivers : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9fZIF6vzIBzT2ZtZkNSVFI5ZHc/view?usp=drivesdk
Reboot the pc
Download twrp: https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/twrp-3.1.0-0-bacon.img.html
Reboot in fastboot mode.
Open a command prompt on the PC inside the folder where the downloaded recovery is.
-Find the folder (maybe user/Downloads)
-while holding shift mouse right click inside the folder
-select "open command prompt here"
Connect your phone and type in cmd
Code:
fastboot devices
If you're lucky and did everything correctly then your phone should appear and you can continue, if not uninstall the drivers you previously had and kingroot and whatever minitool you used and try again.
Now that the device is visible
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp twrp-3.1.0-0-bacon.img
Phone should reboot. Just turn off and boot into recovery and hopefully you'll see twrp.
Now connect the phone to the PC an you should see the mass storage and you'll be able to copy the ROM zip there.
Now just flash the zip of the rom and you're done.
U cannot assure you that it will fix the bootloop but it's your best choice.
In the future:
-Never use kingroot or other ****ty mini tools. CMD and manual flash are always the best choice.
-Do a backup if you are not confident with this kind of stuff.
-Don't keep too much stuff on the phone. Use google drive. And services to save contacts, notes images videos.

Reboot the pc
Download twrp: https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/twrp-3.1.0-0-bacon.img.html
Reboot in fastboot mode.
Open a command prompt on the PC inside the folder where the downloaded recovery is.
-Find the folder (maybe user/Downloads)
-while holding shift mouse right click inside the folder
-select "open command prompt here"
Connect your phone and type in cmd
Code:
fastboot devices
If you're lucky and did everything correctly then your phone should appear and you can continue, if not uninstall the drivers you previously had and kingroot and whatever minitool you used and try again.
Now that the device is visible
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp twrp-3.1.0-0-bacon.img
Phone should reboot. Just turn off and boot into recovery and hopefully you'll see twrp.

This means your bootloader is still locked so you basically can't do anything. To unlock it you would need to factory reset. So your only option is to try installing the ROM via adb on the cyanogen recovery.

Try to push the zip from adb to /sdcard and then flash the zip through the recovery (which technically should do it since it's a stock ROM)
This will result in a "dirty flash" which will not delete data.
This is your only option in the current state of your phone, if you had rooted your phone properly without kingroot you would have booloader unlocked an you would've had more options. If this doesn't work you are forced to factory reset. And use this opportunity to unlock bootloader with
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Which due to security measurements will delete all the data.
Before you going to flash anything using adb or something, do this.....
1. Turn off your phone completely.....
2. Connect the charger and let it charger for 10 minutes
3. While the charger is still connected, press the power button (turn it on)
4. Wait....
If the phone boot normally while the charger is still connected, unplug the charger and waits....if the phone goes back bootloop after a few minutes and hours without charger connected then your problem is a dying battery not software....buy a new battery and once your replace it, it will solved your problem without having to flash anything via adb or recovery...it also can save all your data....

Lolwat?? What kind of sorcery are you talking about.... ? if it was the battery it wouldn't have happend right after he messed with that stuff. Improve your troubleshot skills ? this kind of stuff happened to me insane amount of times and always were able to fix it, in this case the guy is limited by the fact he doesn't have the bootloader unlocked.

That depends if you are running oxygen os, you can't flash an OTA of OS that you are currently not running. To dirty flash you have to use the same version or distribution of the OS you are currently running.

Moto G 1st Gen no OS installed

I have a problem with my Moto G 1st gen. It seems while attempting to flash a new ROM onto the device, I have somehow managed to delete the OS. I am trying to flash the stock ROM back onto the device, but unfortunately I am unable to as the device does not appear on my computer when I plug it in using a USB cable. I am using the TWRP custom recovery. I would like to be able to restore the original ROM and use the device as normal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Device:
Moto G 1st Gen (XT1033)
TWRP Recovery installed
OS is missing
When I attempt to boot the device, it gives me the unlocked bootloader warning.
To recover your ROM, use your backup. If you do not have a backup ... it's bad.
Have you tried booting in fastboot? Does your mobile show up in the taskbar icons tray as ADB Device or Motorola ADB Composite Device? If not, check if you've proper drivers installed or not. Once you've the phone being detected, you can easily flash the stock rom using mfastboot commands.

I am able to get the device in fastboot mode, and I have confirmed that the correct drivers have been installed, but the phone is still not detected.

Ok it seems the phone is detected by the computer, the phone is shown when I go to 'Devices and Printers' on my computer, but for some reason it shows as 'XT1032' instead of 'XT1033'. Probably attempted to install something designed for the XT1032 model instead.

It's probably TWRP Recovery that changed the model detection. Now, either install the stock ROM or flash a custom ROM.

I cannot, as the phone does not appear in the 'This PC' in File Explorer on my computer, so I cannot transfer any files between the computer and the phone.
