[Completed] Arnova 10cG3 softbricked, dont know how to recover - XDA Assist

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.

[Q] Got a question about recovery images

Good day to everyone here on XDA. I'm a Noob and I need your help.
My question is about recovery images.
Can you build your own recovery?
I came up with this question because of my problem on my phone. I messed up with my phone's recovery and i dont know how to fix it.
My phone is a Cherry Mobile Click W120. Hardware MT6575. My problem started when I tried to flash a Universal CWMR to it and unfortunately, I failed. Now, it doesnt have a recovery mode anymore. Searched about a million times for a solution, flashed hundreds of recoveries via mobileuncle(cwmr,twrp, amon ra, even stock ones) but still no luck.
So, is there any way to build your own recovery? Or do we have a recovery image out there which is compatible to this device?
I hope someone will respond to a noob like me. But still, im hoping someone can help me.
I will appreciate any kind of reply. Either negative or positive. Another question, is it possible to ask someone for the recovery image who also uses the same unit that i'm using? then flash it on my phone?
I'm no expert but I'll try to explain it to you.
1st question: yes, you can, since all custom recovery images are made from source, you can find out more here: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-clockworkmod-recovery-to-a-new-device
2nd question: you can find a custom recovery image for popular devices, but you won't find it for every android device out there.
3rd question: he must have the image, if it's already flashed into the phone, I don't think that it can be extracted. you can also flash the stock recovery image if you find it. I can't help you there tho.
Now, I did some searches on the forum and google but I didn't find any CWM recovery image for your mobile phone..
Hit thanks button if this helps you in any way. Cheers !

[Completed] Help needed from Android expert

I got a Lenovo S850 from China and it came rooted from factory. I deleted apps I shouldnt and it booted up with constant security warning. I download what I thought was the correct rom and it did not install but phone would not come on. I found a rest of world rom to install that I thought was correct but after install imei's were missing and it had nvram warning in wifi. I have fixed that issue permanently but still with any sim card it says no service and a manual search fails.
Not sure if the first rom made a mess of the partitions etc but I have no idea why etc.
Just wondering if there was an expert that could connect to my pc via team viewer and take a look at it as I can connect it via adb but no idea what else to do. I think partitions are messed as in custom recovery it will not mount anything and had to adb sideload root.zip.
I will return it under warranty if I cant sort it though they may refuse to fix if they see it has a differnt rom on etc,
Anyone help?
Thanks
Simon.
Hi,
I can't find anything for your device on XDA, so you would need to ask here and hopefully someone can help. Otherwise I suggest you contact the manufacturer for original firmware and Flashing instructions...

Thanks I will ask there.

[Q] Xoom Installing Custom Recovery through Stock

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?
Thanks again!
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

[Completed] [Q] How to unbrick Starmobile Diamond X1

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!

[Completed] boot-problem on Huawei Y6

Heyhey,
I'm new to this forum and quite the noob in general but here goes.
I have an Huawei Y6, SCL-L21 with android 5.1 (I think it was 5.1, it was definitely 5.something). Following a youtube-video (Apparently I can't link to it), I tried to root my phone using kingoapp. It said it was successful, but I didn't saw the SuperSu app, so I tried rebooting first. Now it seems that my phone doesn't want to boot up any more :/. I just get the Huawei logo and that's it.
I can still get into the recovery menu (EMUI, the one that was original on the device, access through sound up + power on). I've tried 'wipe cache partition' and 'wipe data/factory settings', neither helps.
It has been brought to my attention that reinstalling a back-up from the original rom might help. I, however, do not have a back-up.
I tried finding a different rom, just to see if that would work, but I really have no idea what to look for, where to look or what I should do with the file once I find it. (In hindsight, these were probably things I should have thought about first, but apparently I didn't :/)
I guess my question now is first of all, is there a way to get my phone back to work? And also, what can I do in the future if I would want to reinstall my OS in the event that something like this would happen again (like how you would reinstall a PC, is something like that possible on a smartphone)?
Kind regards,
Ilja_B
