help unbricking tablet

i rooted it after the ics ota using vipermods root program (cant remember what its called) and now its stuck in CMW and wont reboot past that. i learned that this version of CMW for the transformer has those issues and found a thread thats like a support thread and has ways to fix it. i tried all the methods it gave me and non seemed to work. Im posting this here instead of on that thread cause im hoping for some more direct help. Any idea?
Also: I am a total noob at using ADB and stuff so youll have to bear with me.

Hold the volume down key immediately after pressing "Reboot now" in CWM. When the white letters start at the top left you can let go. Choose to boot to Android.
After that you should be able to connect using adb. That will be the key in using adb in CWM. Once you get adb running you can reboot, run the adb script to stop the reboot and fix that nasty boot issue.
Good luck.

If you can cold boot into the OS you can use Terminal emulator also if you're not good with ADB.
Do what wolftroy1 stated above, if you can't get it working that way just turn your tablet totally off.
Now push and hold VOl down plus power button
When you see words scrolling at top left
wait a bit till you see option to wipe data or cold boot
choose cold boot to see if you can get into the OS

im cold booting into linux (thats what it said when i chose Android when it gave me the option between Wipe Data and Android) and its been about 5 minutes. its still at that same screen. How long is this boot supposed to take?

It shouuldnt take more than 10 minutes or so.

I would backup and factory reset

If you have the ability to reflash, then yes, I would reflash if resetting has failed

[Q] Htc One S Black screen Brick

Hello... I was using CM nightly then i wanted to overclock my phone so i flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061577 Then everything was working fine but i wasnt able to enable the Wi-Fi it was grayed out on disabled.Then i wanted to fix it so i flashed another kernel(i will post what kernel about tomorrow it probably is for ICS)(yes im a noob i realised that later with an awesome facepalm)so... now im stuck in a black screen and i cannot hear anything from my phone. i cant boot it into bootloader and/or TWRP recovery there is only a black screen i can see that it works cuz if i have it connected on my laptop the laptop makes the USB connection sound and/or disconnection one so it is probably working (i tryed holding the power button for 10 and then VOL down to put it on bootloader after the 10 sec's my laptop made a sound but i wasnt able to make it work...) so im stuck here.
P.S.:I would really apriciate your help.Sorry for F*cking English Grammar
Thanasis,15,Greece.

man, you need to reduce your font
and you flashed a kernel for the one x
sorry about your situation, but you are going to have to read more stuff and more carefully
this happened to someone else forget solution if any
try a google on flashing one x kernel on a one s, unless someone replies soon
---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:57 PM ----------
btw i never saw much advantage to overclocking for me anyway
if you get this sorted, i would stay with stock kernels for now. have a nandroid and sdcard bu on pc.
i prefer twrp recovery, but not the latest one as it has issues
read all OP pages very carefully and i read first/last 20 pages or so of the thread
always include System as part of your full wipes
---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
also, hold vol- then pwr at same time until the soft keys blink 3 times. release pwr but continue holding vol-
hold it down til phone boots--give it a minute
you can try using adb if you have that set up on pc

will do/try all of your tip's
about the vol- and then pwr... this just doesnt work cuz the second kernel i flashed was for ICS and they wont light up if they were lightning up it would be easy cuz i cound access bootloader and then all fixed :crying:

Sorry OP, but it sounds like you're bricked. You see QHSUSB_DLOAD when you connect your phone to the PC? You flashed a One X kernel, which is probably why.
You can try the steps in the development unbricking thread.

yeah, don't sound good
you didn't say is you know how to use adb from a command window on pc
you could try rebooting bootloader from there as a try before unbricking
or go the jtag route

well i tryed accessing adb even when unbricken but couldn't manage to make it work... (tryed enabling it from developer options&usb mode) i read somewhere that JB 4.2.2 has an extra security level and it wont be supported by cyanogenmod 10.1

you don't access it you need to have htc drivers on phone and install the adb and fastboot files onto your pc. put hem in a folder of your choice with only them there.
you then open a command window on pc and cd to that folder and type "adb reboot bootloader" with no quotes
if you meant that, sorry i misunderstood
most people install the android sdk if they plan on doing a lot of adb/fastboot commands

So im stuck?
So im stuck? i cant do anything else i mean i cant get into the partitions and edit'em... probably not so my phone is over had it less than a month :crying:

OK then. Have you tried the unbricking thread in the Android Development forum?
Some of the steps you don't need, since you are already bricked.

Yes. You flashed an unknown kernel, which just says CM10.1 nightly without reading what devices the kernel is for! It would be a good idea to check if it is for the One S, or Ville, since CM10.1 is available for more than 20 devices!

You shouldn't be smiling too much, you have a bricked device
You will have to try and recover your device using the thread below. You can skip the "creating the brick" section, since you already have a brick. DO NOT USE THE UNLIMITED.IO tool to reset the phone, since it will not work and make the situation worse.

Ugh... Screwed up my phone using the Wallet Installer. Someone Help!

Sorry for posting this.
I was trying to get Google Wallet on my phone, and of course it backfired. I noticed in my "About Phone" it said "Galaxy Nexus." I remember trying to restore my build.prop thru the app before, but I tried it again, this time clicking on "Verizon" and SIII, and I pressed build.prop and my phone has been endlessly trying to bootloop. I haven't been able to get past the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" menu with Cid on it.
My biggest problem is I'm running a Mac. I know theres a whole Odin process, I haven't even looked at, unfortunately. Typically, this phone doesn't read Macs well.
I backed up multiple ROMs thru recovery. I tried getting to the boot menu, pressing vol up+power and vol down+ power to no avail. I know there are countless threads on this, but if anyone could do me the kindness to show me the right thread to read and what I should look at, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I've been flashing forever and this is the first time this has happened to me.
Thank you.
UPDATE!:
I'd delete this post entirely, but I don't see an option where I can. Thought I'd post how I figured it out at least so when someone else does this, they know what to do.
I figured out how to boot into recovery from power off. You press and hold VOLUME DOWN + HOME. Then you press power and let go when the S-Screen comes on.
I've heard all GS3 flashers soft brick at some point, and I'm dreading the day I have to use Odin...

for the future, as far as i understand theres almost no downside to keeping the build prop edited to nexus.
I had it that way for months at a time with no noticeable differences.

I actually had this problem, to fix this issue you can always choose system restore only from advanced restore. It restores your build.Prop and keeps all of your data intact.
Just for future use in case you modify your system files again.

The only downside is if you install a recovery via goomanager or rom manager. It will flash the wrong recovery to your phone.
Will this actually brick the phone? Or keep it from booting into recovery?

[Q] Can't boot to recovery or download mode, only to CM

I made the mistake of flashing a CM nightly on my tablet, because now everything's broke. I had it set up with CWM and SlimLP alphas which were running fine, but now everything's bunk.
I've tried turning off the tablet, but it just starts back up again without warning, even when unplugged. I've tried every power/volume combination at boot, but it only boots to Android.
I hopped into an root Android terminal session and typed
Code:
reboot download
and
Code:
reboot recovery
as well as
Code:
reboot bootloader
and
Code:
reboot fastboot
all of which send the tablet back to Android post-boot.
ADB recognizes it as an ADB device, but it will only show as offline, and revoking the UBS authorizations doesn't prompt them again later.
I've even tried Odin Mobile and UAMP, as well as ROM Manager, but they won't flash anything either. Rather, the things they flash don't stick after a reboot.
What do I do?

Fixed it! Had to do a battery pull, but download mode kicked in again just fine.

How you did it? Battery pull?

Beware of nightlies, only trust after getting positive feedback from other brave saps. Must have B/U before you go there.
Pp.

How did you do it!??!
what did you do to get your tab to boot to recovery mode? i've had to revert twice in the last 2 years back to 4.2.2. because anything higher causes the tab to never boot to recovery mode to apply any updates or flash anything. would really love any help here as I can almost never find anyone with the same problem so trouble-shooting has been next-to-impossible, thank you!!

I have a P5113 and since new I did one factory update, a couple of months after getting it. After that have only ran Cyanogenmod roms,currently on CM12 5.0.2 and have never had any issues (no nightlies).

To pull the battery, you have to remove the front faceplate from the back. You can do this by very carefully separating the glass part of the screen from the plastic housing around it. (You need to remove the SD card, too, otherwise you'll risk bending or ripping out the port) Then, once you have that removed, there's a cable that runs out of the battery to the PCB and connects with a creamish-colored connector. Just pop it out.
I followed this video for visual aid. You can see him remove the battery cable at the three minute mark.

Mi 4 Capacitative Buttons Not Working - Help Please

Hi all,
I am in need of some serious help. My new Mi 4 is frustrating me. After a few days of usage, all 3 capacitative buttons have stopped responding completely. I have NOT disabled them. The backlight for these buttons is working though.
What I have tried;
Rebooting after disabling/enabling the capacitative buttons option and reversing it
Rebooting multiple times,
Wiping Cache,
Wiping entire phone (Wipe All option),
Flashing Developer version of Miui 6
Nothing works. I am using some app from Google Play Store for now. My phone is NOT rooted, I am willing to learn and root it.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
This is a phone purchased in India. So it is the Indian/Global version.
I have attached here my "About Phone" screenshot. http : // i.imgur . com/ueKdAOT.png?1
