4.4.4 - 21.11.21 recovery - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have the recovery for this version? I tries flashing my original recovery that I've used in the past, but it won't flash. I get a boot loop after trying to flash with mfastboot.

you can use an app from the play store called rashr it flashes recovery images. i might have the stock recovery somewhere... but not with me right now

here is the recovery.img

My phone is unlocked but I'm still using Safestrap. Do I need to flash stock before flashing TWRP or can I flash TWRP using Safestrap?

no need to flash stock. but you can't flash twrp with safestrap.
i'm using twrp 2.8.1.0 or something like that.

[Q]Any way to resolve an unrooted tablet with a corrupted stock ROM?

I had rooted and installed CM 10.2 to my tablet about two weeks ago. It was working fairly well but I decided I wanted to go back to my stock ROM. When I flashed the stock ROM the tablet caught in a boot loop after resetting, never getting past the Samsung screen. I can get into the stock recovery mode, but I have lost my root access. According to recovery mode the /efs has been corrupted. I cannot get into download mode, so Odin and Kies are of no use right now.
I can flash from my external sd card, but being a stock ROM without root it will not load accept anything that is not digitally signed. I've not been able to find a digitally signed ROM or recovery mode that would help, I even tried getting the ROM from Kies but to no avail. I can get command line access through my PC, but without root there is not much I can do with this.
So now I'm stuck with the worst of both worlds, a corrupted stock ROM with no root access.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
If stuck in bootloop, have you tried factory reset in recovery?

Unfortunately seems my backups ups were lost in the corruption. I know I made one, but unable to find it now. Also don't see an option for restoring the EFS folder in the stock recovery mode.

It just goes straight into recovery mode, no matter what I do. Never goes into or gives me the option to go into download mode.
I can get into adb and flash things that way, but if what I'm trying to flash isn't digitally signed it won't flash it because I lost root.

I think i have a answer, since youre stuck in recovery and it does register in adb right? download the toolkit here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341488
follow all instructions in the command prompt, choose your model and version of last installed software, if not listed choose 4.1.2
then choose option 3 to install a recovery image, i will reflash my device and make a recovery zip for you to flash in twrp and that should fix it or so i think.
Wait- why can't you get into Download Mode? (You've tried holding down "Power" and "Volume Down", I'm assuming?) Plus, you've mentioned "signed images"- which model do you have? (neither the N8000 nor N8013 require signed images, as they're factory unlocked).

Just so you know Volume Down is the one closest to the power button!!! and if you can get into download mode you could also flash a recovery from there and then install a rom.

I'm not sure exactly. Since something went wrong when I flashed my ROM I also lost my backup of the original Samsung ROM that came with the tablet. Not sure if that's a related problem or not. Due to not having a backup I downloaded a stock ROM from SamMobile and flashed that one. That's when I lost my ability to get into download mode and the CWM I was using.
It is a N8013. There is one wire leading from the battery labeled N8000, which caused some confusion to me, but it is a WiFi tablet, not 3G, and all other documentation says it's a N8013. Maybe Samsung uses similar internal parts.

[Q] Tried rooting and stuck on htc screen with red text

Hi, I'm still rather new to this and I was trying to root my HTC one sv because I had my mopho rooted and was using some apps that I really liked.
I went and used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671 and did all the necessary steps.... When I went to start up my phone is gets stuck on the screen with htc's brand name and below it in red text it says "this build is for development purposes only do not distridute outside of htc without htc's written permission. failure to comply may lead to legal action".
when it first did this i thought it would just take awhile to load, i waited for 30 minutes.
I've tried many things:
clearing all caches
redoing the rooting process in the above url
redownloading the files, double checking everything
factory reset
I've even research the other htc one models and problems through google. I found another superuser with busy box in it for the htc one sv and tried it as well
the service I'm on is cricket and I can still use fastboot and my recovery which is twrp2.6

First off thank you so much ^^ my phone booted after I did that it booted perfectly but I don't know if its rooted. I have to finish up the setup up, what I did was this
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP2.6-92113.img
that was the last step I had did was this and re-install the superuser.zip through the recovery. I really don't know what I did to cause it to go to the boot system so thank you. If you could would you explain how I did that?
@deadruin1991
You accidently flashed your custom recovery in your boot partition. When it was suppose to be flashed to your recovery partition. That is why your android os wasn't loading because the boot partition was jacked up. The boot and recovery partitions are different sizes so there was a major conflict lol.
The only way to have done that was by typing
***DO NOT DO THIS***
fastboot flash boot customrecovery.img
When it should have been:
fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
Anyways, I have created a flash zip with the latest SuperSU and busybox. Just click link below. It will take you to my thread. Click on link in the OP and download SuperSU 1.75. Place it on the root of your internal sd card and boot in to your custom recovery.
Then flash it. And you will be good to go. If you are already rooted then congrats .

[Q] Upgrade on Italy Tim carrier OneSV Relocked and (maybe) unrooted

Hi
I've recentlyunblocked and unrooted my Italy TIM HtcOneSV using HTC procedure to unblock the bootloader.
Recently TIM release the upgrade 3.11.901.108, but my terminal failed to upgrade, supposedly for unblocking and rooting.
So I first decided to reblock thru fastboot the phone, and on my CMW appeared "RELOCKED", but still the terminal wont update.
Then I tried to UNROOT using SuperSU, but also without any success.
In botn sases, the upgrading stops at CMW, and the only thing I can to is to select REBOOT.
I hope someone can give me a hint to solve this situation
Installed: Android vers. 4.1.2 HTCSense 4+ Num.SW 2.15.901.103 kernel [email protected] RELOCKED/S-ON
Thanks in advance
You still have cwm installed, while updating?
You must run a stock boot.img, stock recovery and stock system (no files deleted).
Otherwise the update will fail.

Your OTA will have the recovery.ing you need. Inside the ZIP file for your OTA will be a firmware.zip. Inside that zip will be your images. Including the recovery. Flash the recovery with your bootloader unlocked. Then relock your bootloader and accept your OTA. You should be good then.

Hello all
Please, Please help, none of the guides have worked, Every guide is just a little different from my situation and nothing works
I have a att inspire.
S-on
boot unlocked
hboot 2.0.0
shipped with 2.2
I installed ran ace tool to unlock hboot. clockwork 5.8.0.0. Backed up. verified back up. Tried installing a few roms. No Success.
Then found a thread that referred to CWM needing flash boot.img, tried that, no luck. then I realized that I have flash a boot.img from a different rom. So I install TWRP 2.6.x which is supposed to flash boot.img automatically. So I went ahead and tried a few other rom installs, DR.Ni, Aosp, carbon, fallen Each rom preceded by a full wipe. No luck. So I verified back up again and "restore" .....no success. The process completed successfully, but every time I "reboot" it prompts for SU install, I have tried both accepting and declining this step neither work...Every reboot the HTC white screen green letters comes up, then blacks out, the HTC screen again, then TWRP loads.

So if I can flash what do I need to do and if there are files I need please, I hope for the love of all that is holy someone can provide a working link.

Wait, you said you are unlocked and then ran the "ace tool." How? It's unsupported, and the files it needs are no longer there. What does your bootloader say right now? And do you want to flash a radio or a ROM?
If you want to flash a radio (why?), you do need S-Off. If you just want to flash ROMs, unlocked S-On is fine. Each time, you'd need go flash the ROM zip from recovery on your phone, then extract and flash the boot.img from the ROM zip in fastboot from your computer.

And you definitely don't need S-Off and actually can't be unlocked to run a RUU. If you want to run a RUU you'd need go relock.
VERY top of screen says "unlocked"b in magenta.

I don't care about radio, just wanted to try out some different roms.
Every freaking rom I fashed would just sit at HTC white screen. I tried like 6 different roms. Not one would work after a completed flash with either CWM of Twrp, that is why fastboot flash boot boot.img, then the problems began I think.

Yes, you need to fastboot flash the boot.img each time. Extract the boot.img from the ROM zip, then flash it from fastboot.
maybe this is the key element I am missing.

Okay,
Then when you do a restore from backup in CWM do I need to flash a boot.img. Is there a boot.img in the backup zip? would I need to extract it? or would "restore" do that.
anyone have a known clean stock rom and boot image. or update.zip the os version I was at originally 2.3.5
I believe restoration of backup doesn't require flashing the boot.img. But if it doesn't boot on restoration, try reflashing the boot.img.

Now that I have the process down I think I will be able to find some rom that I can see easily.
The whole reason I started this was to find a rom with a little bigger font or dark background to menus etc, being that I am visually impaired.
Dr No has white back grounds, very hard to see. I tried aosp but that one jjust sits at boot animation.
Anyone have link to best optimized stock'ish rom

Failing to mount anywhere, please help.

Earlier I was trying to "S-OFF" my device so I can rewrite my "SuperCID" so I can update my Hboot to 2.15 and somewhere along that process i've managed to seriously screw my phone over.
Currently, my phone is unable to be mounted anywhere... My phone is without a ROM, so all i've got access to is the bootloader screen, and TWRP v2.7. And mounting my device in recovery mode then pushing a ROM file through "adb" does not work.
I have the AT&T EVITA dual core version of the phone.
I know this was completely stupid of me, and that i've might have made my phone into a pretty expensive paper weight. But any help at all would greatly appreciated. Thanks all.

Thanks for the reply.
No, fastboot is not recognizing my device. However when I emulate adb on my recovery it does recognize. And when i tried to push the ROM file into my /internal_sd it showed that it was unable to be mounted.
I'm not clear on what RUU dont want run that yet...
and my phone is still S-ON, nothings changed there.
Is your device operational outside of not being recognized by PC?

Operational as in texting, calling, and browsing? No... its not. Theres no ROM installed.
The only two screen i have access too is Bootloader screen and TWRP 2.7
Why do not you just connect phone normally and chose mount? Or be in recovery mode, let drivers install then mount that way?

It wont mount anywhere. Nothing shows on the computer when connected.
I dont know if im explaining this clear at all.. sorry
Your best bet is to get to bootloader connect to PC and cmd window fastboot devices. See if PC recognized device or not. If it does reco the device, extract boot IMG from the ROM and flash it via fastboot

Did you run a factory reset from the bootloader by any chance? That could be part of your problem. The other part of your problem is that TWRP 2.7 can have issues with mounting the sd card, so purely for the purpose of copying a ROM across you'd be best off installing TWRP 2.6. Of course that requires a working fastboot connection so you need to sort out your fastboot drivers. What OS are you running on your PC?
One thing I'll add here is do not run an RUU unless you're s-off.

Not really, you flash the ROM via recovery, and then flash the boot.img via fastboot.

Mate, there's no need to give the guy attitude like that, it isn't helping the situation. If you want to help, help, but don't be rude about it.

Well, unfortunately now it looks like you really have bricked your phone. That recovery isn't for our device, we have the Evita so you should have downloaded from here:
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/Evita
It's too late now, but for future reference you need to be more careful. Flashing that recovery has screwed your partitions, I believe the only thing that will save your phone is if you pay for a jtag repair to be done. You should be able to request s-off at the same time too.
Just out of interest, why did you download from there? What lead you there?

UPDATEEE
so for some reason I held my volume down button and power button for like 5 mins just as desperate last attempt before i give up for real.
and to my surprise im on the bootloader screen now. Luck is on my side i guess, how fortunate.
So now before i go about possible screwing up even more, would it be too much to ask for my next step to recovering my phone?
I have no idea how i stumbled upon that link. i was in status of stress and wasnt thinking clearly.. completely forgot that our model was the evita.
Thanks so much for all your help guys.

First off..I'm not your mate. Second of all I been emailing the guy giving him direction . I told him about the installing on SD and flashing boot.img via fastboot

You're incredibly lucky, usually flashing something that's not intended for your device ends in a brick. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can select recovery from your bootloader to enter TWRP. Use the mount menu to mount usb storage and then copy a ROM across.
