[Q] [q] help stuck in boot loop evo 3d gsm

hi guys i have a evo 3d gsm i rooted with revoulutionary worked great i have s/off i also have been running leeroid kernel with infected ethernety rom for he past month i have always used rom manager to load roms and always worked well so i tried to load a red theme without reading much on it and i ended up getting into a boot loop and i cant fix or flash any new roms to fix this problem because the clockworkmod recovery dosent respond it just goes to a black screen with a hat, i have tried to use fastboot to flash a new recovery but i guess im still new at this and im kinda stuck im like the only person i know up here in montreal that messes with androids so i could really use some detailed instructions on a soultion im not finding any threads with a real understanding of what i could do to fix this any help is would help thanks

Somebody please help
Can someone please giver some direction to at least reinstalling clockwork mod through fast boot please

did you make a back up of your rom before you flashed infected? flash your back up.

Yah I made a backup a few weeks back but Shari think I need to do is install a new recovery through fast lot but I'm not sure of how to do it some people say to use sdk it I don't know what I'm doing I'm kind of a noob at this stuff

who's Shari? anyways I would flash my back up and see if that resolves the issue but its up to you, I don't take any responsibility on what happens.

Sorry I don't know who Sharri is either lol miss spell but anyway that we're my issue is cuz I can't flash anything cuz clockwork mod recovery doesn't work every time I try to use the options it just goes to a black screen with a hat I can't even reboot I have to pull the battery to get out so I'm looking to do is flash a new recovery so I can try a restore of my backups but I'm not sure of how to do it

[Q] Motorola Defy default restore

Hello, I have a Motorola Defy which i have rooted and installed clockworkmod on it. I tried to install Cyanogen mod 7.1 from the website. The phone got to the boot screen where it continued to cycle through it thing and nothing more. I restarted the phone and now it gets stuck at the first screen where its says "google". I tried to enter recovery again (power + volume down) and clockworkmod is completely gone. I want to go back to the stock OS so it atleast works again. Ive tried using the update.zip option in the stock recovery mode but I keep getting an error "failed to verify whole-file signature" when using a signed copy of cyanogen mod. I also tried putting my backup in a zip with the same error. Ive even tried formatting my sd card. What do i do?

I was more or less where you are around June or so. I'm no expert by any means, but perhaps I can help. If memory serves I used a program called RSD Lite to flash it back to the stock unlocked rom I got from the "bl7 finally rooted" thread - if you unlocked a different way, I'd try to find your original rom.
Once you get to where you understand how to get back to stock it makes the whole thing a lot less scary, or it did for me. Once you get back up and running, try flashing Whiterabbit. I didn't have luck getting anything else to run, but that one worked the first time I tried it, and I'm very happy I persevered. Miles better than the stock OS.

I cant use the program as my phone doesnt get detected when connected to my pc.

OK, lets start with the basics, if I can remember it right... Have you used RSD Lite successfully before this? Drivers installed? Using bootloader mode? If any of this is unfamiliar go hit the beginner's thread - if you have done all this you may be beyond my help and in need of someone a bit more experienced.

I fixed it, there were a different set of buttons to hold to get into boot loader. The default recovery was not over written as i thought (happened to all my other phones). Thank you very much for you help. It has been very much appreciated.

Glad to hear it.

. well looks like everyone as to start somwhere..
so my problem right now, I am stuck at the custom LG logo, I cant hard reset and even my recovery boot but the menu wont pop up and simply restart my phone..
basicaly, I feel screwed right now does anybody can help me on this?
it is probably something super stupid and simple but I can'T find any solution so I decided to join this forum for a bit of support..
EDIT: my mistake, it went in the wrong section

no I haven't...
so far , what I did is
root the pone with the one clicker (wich was a success)
did the recovery with the clockworkmod recovery thing,
restarted and exectued this website's tutorial to jellybean (start with WWW stuff.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536)
and then, look like it failed..
this morning, I managed to get back to the recovery boot screen and found that if I press the house icon it show up a menu.. but this menu giving me access to reboot, wipe cache, data or install update.zip (which was supposed to fix my problem) but this menu is blued out and unaccessible..
dunno if it helped..
right now, I am trying to get acces to my phone doing the no battery boot thing but my pc doesnt seem to recognize my phone + I am at work hehe so I am pretty much limited in acces due tu the it protection and firewall stuff
I am gonna try to redo that stuff tonight at home but meanwhile, if any of what I described may give you a clue on how to help me, I really appreciate the effort!
thanks again for the support guys, I know it can be a pain sometimes to help people screwing some beginner stuff like I probably do right now

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

What do you mean by "T-Mobile boot" and "videotron thing?"

Ok, wait I think I understand what you're saying now. If you can, pm the op of that thread you used to unbrick. Ask that person if you need some kind of different file in that .zip file to work on your carrier.
I remember having to use that guide to get back to stock. Glad to see you're making progress. I know it can be frustrating when devices get wacky. Good luck!

hehehe sorry, I am not fully used to the right terms so I rather stay in the gray zone by using words like ''thing''
but I can now oficially say I was talking about ROMs
finally, I managed to bring back my phone to the stock mode everything seem to work!
now I can brick it again!
thx for the help!

I began to wonder if it was just a matter of changing APN settings?

GT-N8000 downgrade and no update.

I've been using Gnabo v_7 version for quite a long time, and a very simple and beautiful day when I woke up my Samsung GT-N8000 was stuck on bootscreen. I wasn't able to do much so I got this "Brazil stock rom" that I found in a website, and it flashed all right, except for the detail that there is something at the screen that I haven't got a bloody clue how to remove. hahaha
And still, whenever I try to install another room, I got stuck at bootlogo and so on. I'm kinda lost here, mind a little help?
I traveled around the forum but well, I'm a little dumb so I couldn't find any proper information about, how to solve this. I would like to know if there is a way to remove this thing from the main screen, and post here the image for you guys to see it please.
I tried to post the image here to make it easier understanding, but since I got this login recently I can't =\
Thanks

Install custom recovery (if you haven't already. If you already have it installed, make sure to update to latest version), root device, wipe everything and flash custom ROM.

So far I've tried the rom = N8000XXUDNE4 [still bootloop], then another 4.1 android version of other German rom XXALGA and nothing. Downloaded 3 Brazilian versions, and nothing. [I am from Brazil]. The only one that worked flashing using Odin was one called "KIES_HOME_N8000UBALGA_N8000ZTOALG3_N8000UBLG5.tar". And still, not recognizing my cellphone chip, and with some big watermark at the middle of the screen showing some information about the ROM and the version is 4.0. Even though this one worked fine, I was able to root and when I tried to flash another room, BANG! Bootloop again! =\
I was looking at the forum topics and I read some about ADB or something like that can fix this and "break" this bootloop making the device work normally again with the roms. But i haven't got a clue how to use it. Please help me! =\

You can use ADB to push/pull files to Android. I don't know if you can use it to fix bootloop. With it, you can also reboot to recovery and sideload zip

Well, after 2 days of research and paying attention on things here, I found out that my problem is "/EFS error". Meaning to use ADB to recover or fix it? But I don't know how to use this. I've downloaded 3GB of it but I was lost about using, and uninstalled. Is is there any short or better version and some good tutorial about using to retrieve my EFS so I can install another roms? I'm using original stock rom now, Brazilian android 4.0 and that's the only only the device is working fine but of course missing things as my cellphone card and the yellow message at the top of the screen. Please guide me through ADB.
P.s Is there a way to create /efs or something like so the device work properly? Cause I've deleted when I installed some rom, and I have no backup here. =\
Thanks!

Here is tutorial about how to install ADB and Fastboot drivers and use them. Unfortunately, I don't know how to use it to restore efs. Sorry.

My Galaxy S7 is what looks to me like its bricked

So what i did is i rooted my s7 and installed TWRP. I wanted to install Xposed but when i try to install the zip fle, it did something which after what it said was succesful, made /data unable to be detected. i tried to re-format into ext4 but then after restarting it, it somehow uninstalled TWRP and pretty sure it deleted android off of the phone too. When doing a normal boot it either gets stuck on the start samsung screen or the flashing screen. if someone is willing to help and needs some info please ask. Im pretty sure the warranty is gone now so i dont think my carrier is going to take the phone.

I'd suggest flashing a stock rom. You should still be able to get into download mode

Thanks but things got a bit strange. A blue screen with a message showed up saying that an error occurred while updating. Luckily my phone carrier took the phone. Thanks for help tho

Yeah... you definitely need to re-flash the stock rom for your phone.
