So I stayed up WAY too late last night trying to figure this out so I figured I'd see if anyone here can help.
I recently bought a Xiaomi Mi4 here in China and I am not a fan of the Xiui OS it has on it. So I began trying to install CWM on it to get things going but no matter what I do, it fails with a different error for each method.
Using the Updater app doesn't work because I do not get the menu to browse for my zip.
Fastboot method says "recovery not support flash".
Rashr says "Partition Failed".
MobileUncle looks like it works but when you reboot CWM isn't there.
I dug into my device and I think I am supposed to have a /recover partition? But I do not see one.
Any help is appreciated. I'm willing to try anything.
Maybe fake phone, MobileUncle is for MTK based phones.
Have u get ur fon rooted? If so first grant root permission from security.if not then download a zip file to root ur fon. After getting rooted download fashify.from this software u can get cwm latest version.
First make sure if your phone is or is not a counterfeit. You can follow the link below.

[Q]
Hi,
I have nexus s GRJ22 Android 2.3.4 I904. I tried rooting it using clockwork and super user but after doing that when i reboot It stays in the google logo. I could find that i was not able to mount system in the clockwork recovery with means that its not having sufficient permissions .
1. Factory reset - not working
2. Tried fixing permissions - not working
3. tried remounting - not working
what i'm possible to do is get into fastboot mode and clockwork recovery mode and in the normal booting it stays at the google logo.
with this i can say i messed up something when i was rooting. and the phone is useless now.
The last option i know now is fastboot flashing of all the images (boot, system, recovery). How to flash everything finally and bring it back to the state which I got from the factory?
I'm looking for if any one has theses images so that I can fastboot flash it and bring it back in an operating condition.
I'm new to android development, android devices and a noob.
Please do ask If you guys need any more info.
I appreciate any answers and thanks for reading my question.
First, make sure that ClockWorkMod recovery that you installed is the right version for your NS model (sorry but I don't know what the "I904" means)
After you flashed the correct recovery then I'd suggest you go to this thread and see if there is a full OTA package for your NS model. If there is one then you can download it, connect your phone to a PC, mount SD card from the recovery, copy the package over then flash it. That should bring your NS back to life.
If there is no OTA package for your model then you can search/ask for a stock nandroid backup of your phone model. It's most likely that someone has already posted it here in xda.

Thanks for the reply.
its not I904 I'm sorry its I9020 which is the model number of the phone.
I tried the link that you had posted already but it stops at getprop function in the script when i do the update and says status 7 error and the update fails because the /system is not mounting.
Kindly suggest me to bring this phone back.
Hmm, I still have the impression that you have the incorrect version of CWM. What is your service provider? As far as I remember, the I9020T and I9020A require a different version of CWM. And also what is the version of CWM installed?
If you've got the I9020T, try installing this one (from kouch's site)
But if you've got the I9020A, you should try the recovery from this guide (Part 3 - Recovery)
Sorry for the delayed response ,
I have the Tmobile carrier and its I9020T. The version of CWR is 3.0.2.4 which is running. As i said before its not monting the /system.
any other options that I have. ?
Please suggest
Thanks for your time..
I got the nandroid for GRJ22 I9020T.
I'm unable to fastboot flash boot boot.img from this ROM.
it says FAILWrite..
also tried to do the same way for system.img it says Invalid Magic Code !
thankyou suksit I recovered the ROM link that u had posted. I pushed using the adb on to the sdcard and installed from the CWR. I had tried that initially but had not worked.. but now it worked perfectly..
thanks KUDOS..

your phone was never bricked. bricked means itll never ever work again. if your planning on using it later and using it now, then bricked is definitely not the right word to use ;-)
well then its appropriate to say
"It was broken for two days"
nexus S was in locked state...can't able to unlock thorugh "fastboot oem unlock" (FAILED <remote:ERASE FAIL>.. even all drivers were installed properly...if i try to get in to recovery mode there is an exclamtion mark...what it that..??? plzzzz help me with this
Hi everyone,
Sorry to ask this question but I'm really in need of help here, I have been reading and trying for the whole week how to install a custom ROM but unfortunately I'm having a hard time, I have an Atrix 4g motorola mobile from AT&T I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader, I have installed the adb also, then I'm trying to install CWM for Atrix 4g but I'm not successful, it looks succesful when I flashboot the device it even showed me "Flashing storemgr 505" then I typed flashboot reboot, hoping I will be able to use Rom manager then when I try to install Greyblur ROM from http://briefmobile.com/greyblur-rom-for-motorola-atrix-4g using the ROM manager(install from SD card), it will reboot and go the the android(exclamation point) logo, without the option of CWM recovery, it has only 4 options which is the default one
wipe data/cache
wipe cache partition
reboot
apply update from sdcard
I don't know what to do now, If I choose the update from sdcard it is saying error "cant open /cache/recovery command".
By the way I have downloaded the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541 so i don't think the file is the problem.
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend returning to stock firmware(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072) and watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHWRdnekvl8
I originally had a lot of trouble too when I got my atrix but that video goes step by step.
What your doing wrong is trying to flash through Rom Manager. You need to reboot into recover via Tenfars CWM app, then flash from sdcard. Do not use Rom Manager it is not ready for the Atrix yet. Use Tenfars and you should have no prob.
Thanks guys appreciate that, I'll try that out and let you know.
Hi guys, I went to flash back again to 1.26 now I was able to install application from non-market apps, and phone is rooted but the issue now is my wifi, since it is restricted here in our country I have followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077329
Before when I was using the 1.86 I dont have any issue following the link above, but now it is not working.
Thanks in advance.

how did you root? If you use Gladroot you can run the "afterupdate" to retain root after updating to 1.86.

Hi,
I forgot the name of the tool if I'm not mistaken it is gingerbreak, I run it on my android phone then, it gave me the superuser.
The phone came with the 1.86 I did not update it, but since It is not working from my country I have to root to install the link above, which is to replace my wifi drivers. Then after replacing I was able to connect from the wireless here.
Now I used the method to flash to 1.26 and rooting using the Gladroot, then using the method on the link above to fix the wifi drivers, I'm not able to connect to my wifi. I don't know what I did wrong here, any help would be appreciated thanks.
I'm trying to update to the nightlies for CM11 on my xt926. I receive an error when I try to flash it, and tracking that error down, it says that my recovery isn't up to date. I tried flashing the most recent version of clockwork recovery touchthrough the ROM Manager app, but it won't take. When I go back into the app, it says I'm using 6.0.4.4, but when I reboot to recovery, it says I'm using v 6.0.2.8.
Any idea what I can do to overwrite it? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
EDIT: NVM, in the grand tradition of tech support, as soon as I mention the problem to someone who can help, I find the solution myself. Worked when I flashed recovery via ADB.
Oh man. I was having the same problems as you, I even tried with ADB. But i was a bit rusty and totally named my file "recovery.img.img".
Thanks for posting, it made me double check and find the problem.

I have found an easy way to update the recovery images. I just download the image I want then use a app called flashify you can find it on the play store.
Just flash with this app. I hope this helps someone who is having problems
Cool thing about this method. It's all done thru your phone.
hi,
I have a hisense tablet. I downloaded goomanager and it has a rom or file that is 4.4 something but goomanager says i need a recovery rom. It said it would try and find me one I tried and it did not find me one. I do see a recovery rom on this website but im not sure I can follow those steps and wanted to use something like goomanager to install it. or a program as easy,,, Is that possible? I see CyanogenMod installers in play store , would one of them load it?
thanks

Download MTK Droid tools....
Root your tab with the root button....
Go to Backup, Root .......
Click the button reboot in recovery or whatever it is....
im already rooted? I used a different program to root. So do I still use the MTK tools? what I want to do is load the recovery thats on this website, will MTK tools do this. Or is there a easier way?
thanks
Marshall

Hi, Mtkdroid tools is only for use with mediatek devices, which I believe your tablet is not. I am not familiar with your device so can't really help with installing a custom recovery, but I'm sure if you use the search facility at the top of this page or google search the web for 'installing cwm on Hisense tablet' you will find some resources. Google is your friend
i was able to load recovery, than I tried to load the 4.4 rom and now my tablet is in recovery. I turn it off and it go's to recovery,,,,crap,,,now what?
guess you see im having problems. But i got it un-bricked,,,still can't get the taktiK rom loaded

I succeded to unlock bootloader, I succeded to flash twrp.
I flashed the superSU zip twice (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip)

flashed super SU zip once (BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip) after finding out this one is for marshmallow.
--> does the same.
did factory recet

Now I can start and get in team Win recovery project v2.8.7.0 and the phone connects with pc.
I downloaded already firmware "XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_6.0_MPI24.65-33.1_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC__v2.xml"

Hi there,
You should always make a back up of your current system before messing up with your device. So that you can restore your nandroid if anything goes wrong .
So , to solve your issue ,
1. Download any custom rom from xda for your device and flash that zip using adb sideload. (if you are not able to do this or dont know how to do then go on to step 2)
2. Download stock img for your device and flash it using fastboot.
For further questions , you may try posting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148591
Good luck.
