Hi guys! I accidentally bricked my phone when changing the font style. If I remember it correctly, I may have changed the path file where-in the changes will be applied for the font style, and after I rebooted the phone it is just stuck on the startup screen.
I already tried factory resetting the phone, but I dont have CWM or even TWRP recovery if there is for this kind of phone.
I can only access recovery mode but haven't tried the factory mode yet. Will try to install CWM later.
Is there any chance that it may work again if I flash a ROM even though I am still using the original ROM?
Any other methods that I can try?
Thanks!
Hi,
You could try a rom, but you'd need a custom recovery for that, usually. Or flash the factory firmware again. I can't find anything relevant on XDA for factory files tho. So you can ask here, or contact the manufacturer...

I'll be trying it later and hopefully it works, i'm thinking of flashing the factory firmware again but I can't find the files though.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you. Thread closed.

Recently accidently deleted my boot.img because I wanted to change the boot animation. Ended up being the biggest mistake I made. I decided to try and recover the file i deleted by flashing another boot.img, but i soon realised that the boot.img i flashed wasn't compatible with the device which caused my phone to bootloop. I know that if i want a solution to this issue, I'd have to install a new rom which is compatible with my phone but i'm having trouble looking for the update.zip for my phone. Is it possible that someone could upload the update.zip for N920e so i can fix this issue?
Hi.
Unfortunately, flashing a boot.img of another device probably sealed the fate of your phone. However, you can ask around in the Android Q and A section over here:

Hello all! I have locked myself out of my Motorola Xoom. MZ604, US Wi-Fi Only. I am on a stock ROM. I am not rooted, or unlocked. I don't have Wi-Fi enabled currently, and Android Debugging Bridge is not enabled. I am trying to install CWM or some other custom recovery through the stock recovery so that I can access my files through AROMA. Currently, I have been unable to install any zip whatsoever though the Attached USB host drive.
The Xoom is recognizing the file contents of the USB drive, but when I go to install any zip it keeps ending at "Installation Aborted"
I have searched and searched for a way back into my Xoom. The only answer I found thus far is to do a factory reset through the Stock Recovery. I would at all costs like to avoid doing that. I never made a backup, and really don't want to lose what's on there.
Any help whatsoever is appreciated.
Hi,
Unfortunately a factory reset it definitely something good to try. As is possibly reflashing your stock firmware.
And you can't flash a custom recovery from the stock recovery, it won't work. And can you clarify what you mean by you looked yourself out? If you mean you forgot your pin for your security.... Usually a factory reset or fresh stock install are the only wants to get back up and running. That's the point of the security pin. So no one can access your data. So you must wipe to get around it.
I will have your thread moved to your device section, so the experts who own your device can assist, here...

Thank you so much for your very quick reply. I did forget my pin, which is how I locked myself out. Although, it is very unlikely that I got my pin wrong, and I suspect there is a bug or something going on here.
I definitely don't want to lose my data which is why I'm not doing a factory reset at the moment. However, I was curious what is flashable through stock recovery? I got what I believed to be an OEM stock ROM but that wouldn't install either. Is there anything specific you or anyone here could recommend which I would be able to flash in stock recovery to get me a stock reinstall without losing my data?
Any and all help and replies are great appreciated!
Your thread will be moved to your device section for other opinions.... And no, any option I know of wipes data. Again, that's the point of the added security.

OK, thanks. I thought I was replying in the device section. If not, how do I move this thread there?

You should be able to use android device manager to create a new password/pin for any android device
Just google android device manager, sign in with your google account. Waut until the device is located, the click the lock icon, this will replace your current loclscreen with a new password of your choice

I run a Micromax Canvas Tab P650. I committed an error.
I edited the build.prop file and changed the whole of that to that of Nexus 5. Now, when I rebooted, my GUI became very strange and apps stopped to work. Somehow, I re-edited my build.prop file and pasted the original content. Now, when I reboot, Nothing appears but Canvas Tab(the boot screen).
I do not have any nandroid backup.
I do not have CWM OR TWRP.
Please help
Error while flashing stock rom
It showed me this message. Kindly do help
Thanks
Hi,
Changing or flashing anything not made for your exact device make and model number usually causes very bad issues, sometimes bricked devices even. Not a good thing to do.
Here's a thread with links to your firmware, make sure to get the correct one...

If it won't work, your device may have other more serious issues, and you can ask for help here,

The rar file of the stock rom which I got from the link provided by you is not getting extracted properly and winrar is showing errors.
Please help me.
You will need to ask in the thread I linked about that. ?
I have been searching for answer over 10 days, but still can't figure out how to resolve this. I don't how exactly it bricked, it just couldn't start anymore. I can get into recovery menu, but there isn't any option to recover android. It was rooted before, and worked normally. I cant find any other way to flash any rom on it. I appreciate any help on this matter, tnx in advance!

Hello, and welcome to XDA Assist!
Please register for an account so you can post to the rest oif the site. The [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread of the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting will provide a good start to resolve your issue.
What seems confusing is that there may be some Arnova's made by Archos. Archos has a forum, but sadly, Arnova does not (not finding much about your device either).
At any rate, try the thread/forum above, and be patient with regard to a response. This seems to be a rare device, so it would be harder to get the attention you need.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
The other way
I understood that the complete system is wiped out. I can use adb while its in recovery menu. I used it to transfer official system image onto it, but in its options i cant find it. I transferred it to multiple locations, all of them can be seen in recovery menu but all are empty. I wonder if there is a way to flash some other android version on it? Or some ROM like CWM, but apparently there are no official releases. And since i am not very good at this i wonder how to make sure that kernel is OK? Can such thing be done? It has Android system recovery <3e>

CWM is a recovery, not a ROM, but can be used to flash ROMs.
With 3e, you should be able to flash the stock ROM for the device via adb (called side loading). So that may work for you.
Hope this helps.

I used to have CWM, but it started giving me problems so I flashed back to the stock firmware . The problem is once I flashed it, it wont boot and gives me a message saying that the image size is too large. Is there any way to fix this? I cant go in recovery mode... Only download. Please, I really need help here.
