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.

No, and I'm not really sure how that works. But how can I get it to the the tablet without download mode?
I'm fairly certain I bricked it, but I'm just taking the off chance someone knows a way to pull a rabbit out of the hat on this.
I don't know if it works or not .... But if u can flash TWRP recovery this would help to solve

As long as you can get to the bootloader all isnt lost, you could use odin from there to reflash the images with the toolkit

What happens if you press vol- plus power? do you get the warning message? can you get into that mode?
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2329139 and its comments where i helped a user with something close to what u have
Also when in recovery try adb reboot download ... And see if it reboots in download mode that would help alot

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.

There has to be some sort of exploit to flash it anyway, or we wouldnt have root in the first place

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.

Hi,
So I've been searching forums for around 7 hours now trying to get CyanogenMod on my phone. I am able to Root via Odin using VRALEC and VRBMB1 Bootchain.
I downloaded CM (from website) and gapps and have booted into recovery using Rom Manager. I also tried EZ Recovery, but I couldnt get the recovery img to work so I used Rom Manager.
After reading a lot of forums (hours and hours), I still get the Verizon lockout message. I am able to get back into my phone my loading up the stock, but I would really like to be able to use CM as it is awesome and I dislike Touchwiz.I am able to Root the phone, so I can unlock the bootloader, but it doesnt seem to stick. So my process has been to use the VRALEC in Odin again and then boot to recovery. This was an instruction I received in a few results from my research.
My issue is how to for sure unlock the bootloader. There used to be an application called EZ Unlocker but it looks like it's been removed and I cant find an APK that will download.
I know how much you guys hate when someone posts without doing their research, but I am at my wit's end and am in need of some help.
Pertinent information:
Device: I535
CM download: http://get.cm/?device=d2vzw&type=stable
Gapps download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378992
Odin3 v1.85
System: 4.1.1
I followed this guide for unlocking the bootloader because most others did not have files: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2013/04/how-to-lockunlock-bootloader-for.html
Process: Followed this video after I did the above unlock for bootloader.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNoSG5GYpZk
There must be a pretty obvious step I'm missing here. Feel free to berate me if you like, but really just a n00b in need of some help.
Many Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your post I was able to root with this method. I cannot, however, find instruction on how to do steps 2 and 3. Do I use Rom Manager again to reboot to recovery?
The link shows:
5. flash the insecure bootloader (this unlocks the bootloader)
6. flash custom recovery of your choice (twrp, cwm, cwm touch all included)
But that is all the information. What is the insecure bootloader? is that something I download and then use through Odin?
Again, I'm sorry I'm so incompetent, I've been at this for hours and just want to start enjoying my phone on CM.
Thank you
There is a drop down menu when you open it. There is literally nothing else needed that you need to download. Do the root. Theb click the drop down menu and change "root gs3" to unlock and so on

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.

Do I need my carrier stock image, don't I?
I found smtg on HTC site in Kernel Source Code, Binaries and Updates for HTC Android Phones
I am afraid is only kernel, as is 99 Mb .zip file,
This is the file description:

Is this what I need, or do I have to find something else?
Unlock your bootloader first.
Then, all you need to do is flash your stock recovery.img. then relock your bootloader. You do that and you can proceed with your ota update.

When you say stock recovery, you mean MY CARRIER recovery.img or HTC ONE SV Europe Android 4.1.2 (my actual version) stock recovery.img?

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.
Dude..your boot loader is locked and ur s on. Ur gonna screw up your device

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.
thn blow that s-on
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.

please help me, my phone is dead, totaly dead!!
to mention is I have my orginal build.prop file in my pc.
any reply please??
Try to recover through Hisuite, if you have installed on your PC?
Otherwise you can install fresh ROM through windows command. The procedure is somewhere in the rooting thread.

You can also download the ROM, unzip it and put the "dload" folder in memory card. Switch off the phone and then press all buttons together. It will start updating from sd card. I never tried this.

Yes, fresh ROM if you can't recover via Hisuite.

Just flash rom again. Download kang rom and flash it from cwm, or flash stock recovery and flash stock rom from sd card with button combo.
