Hello everybody.
Firstly, im sorry if i posted this in the wrong section, though its quite urgent. Today, i have flashed the wrong kernel and my device is stuck on the boot animation until it powers off . USB debugging is switched off. I can access the bootloader. I have WUG's toolkit installed, aswell as "Nexus7_Restore". I have got no idea what to do. been trying for 5 hours to fix this crap, no success. if theres anybody out there who shares sympathy and can help me i'd appreciate it ;') Please help, thanks:crying:

Urgent or not, bumping your thread after only 15 minutes is ridiculous. Give it at leat 24 hours.
Moved to General Q&A which is a more appropriate section for a basic question, and it will also get more exposure there.
Hi,
have a look here:
h**p://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation (sorry, I can't post links by now)
The next to last topic says how to reinstall the stock rom using fast boot mode.
I think this method requires you to have linux on your pc

There are a lot of people joining XDA on a daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked
which clutter up the Development and 'Q & A' threads. Point them here. Feel free to ask or answer questions.
The idea of this thread is to get users to help other users with their problems/questions. People are usually
ridiculed for asking questions that other people deem stupid even though it may be a legitimate question. This
leads to new users being afraid to ask questions!
Only provide well mannered help towards users in this thread. Please do not spoon feed, but rather point in
the direction where that user can find an answer and educate himself. If you don't want to answer, at least
point out where to find the answer.
Before posting anything, I strongly advise you to read THIS thread.
Then, have a quick look at the names of threads in Post No. 2, you might find what you need right away.
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please do come back and read threads in Post No. 2
(coming later as soon as we start getting the guides) to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time
and frustration it will save you in the future!
No abuse towards noobs tolerated here! That means:

ZTE V970 Brick?
Hi,
I've been trying to install Bruno's ROM for this phone (cam with all chinese apps). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856578
but have a big problem. I tried my best to follow the instructions but, really couldn't work out if I was doing things in the right order.. is there an actual step- by step for this procedure? I know I'm a noob and read this read that I am an idiot etc. etc. but I thought if I used to ROM on that page and the software recommended it would be easy.
Here's what I did:
Downloaded all the files as told.
Tried to 'flash a custom recovery' as here http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
but it did not mention how to use the ZTE custom recovery file http://d-h.st/Vgt
I'm also not sure at all that the 'MediaTek drivers' were installed properly. The phone never appeared in the Device manager.
I opened SP flash tool and followed this: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
and selected the 'scatter file' from the unzipped Bruno ROM (took a while to realise had to unzip it to get the file!!!)
I noticed most of the boxes on the scatter file were unchecked but carried on and ignored a warning message about the phone may not be able to boot (the tutorial said to ignore it).
I had to click 'download' then plug the phone in and eventually I got the red loading bar. This finished... then nothing else.. no purple bar.. nothing.
So after waiting a few minutes I unplugged the phone.
It now appears to be a total brick. What did I do wrong? Why no purple bar? Were the scatter items supposed to be unchecked? What was the 'custom recovery' file for? Because the SP flash prog never asked for it.
Is there any point in trying it again or is the phone dead?
Thanks for any help..

stupid newbie question: Is there any way to run fastboot without connecting the phone to a computer?
Device: HTC One V [CDMA]
Network: Virgin Mobile US
Goal: I want to be able to relock and unlock (which on my device is
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken <txt file>
) my phone without having to connect to a computer.
Motivation: I've already managed to near-brick my HTC One V twice, both due to HTC's silly OTA radio update (details here), and the only way I was able to fix it in either case was to use Solution #2 from the linked thread (although I didn't try solution #1, there is absolutely no way to do #1 without Windows, never mind without a computer). Since I've proved perfectly capable of soft-bricking without the intervention of a computer—although I don't think that will happen anymore as long as I remember not to use my two Nandroid backups with the newer radio—I would really like to be able to unbrick it without a computer in case I have to do it when I don't have a computer handy.
Thanks in advance!

Can you go back into recovery mode? I don't have that device, so it would difficult for me to understand your situation completely. If you done a nandroid backup earlier, try to restore it (it was suggested by the op/bruno in that thread).
If not then try asking for help from bruno himself or other people in that thread, they can answer you in better way, because they might have passed from your situations earlier.

I own a samsung device, so I don't know much about htc. And I feel nandroid is only way you can unbrick a soft brick without PC. Still wait for others who own htc to answer you.

ROM "TheUltimatum"
Hi all at XDA, I LOVE THIS SITE!!! :good:
This is my first post, and for annoying, yet understandable, reasons I am forced to pose my question here. (feels a bit like putting a message in a bottle...)
I have just installed The Ultimatum ROM (with Metro UI & swapall kernal options) on my Galaxy ace. I guess as I live in France my language setting was automatically set to French. After setting it to my preffered English, I noticed that in the app draw the language for certain apps remained in French!!! I had the same issue with this rom's previous incarnation "WP-Remix" however, after an updade to the Launcher8 app through play store, the problem was solved. :highfive:
Whats weird is this: in this rom the Launcher8 app is not recognized by Google Play as being the Launcher8 app, and therefore, will NOT update. Is it a heavily modded version of launcher8? or is there a settings problem somwhere perhaps? Would repairing permissions, or something like that help play find the app, if so, by what method? Recoverey or Titanium? This ROM seems to have some quirks unique to it alone, and I would not want to fcuk somthin' up!
I hope this finds the right eyes, Any help would... well........help.
PS: Yes I know its not a huge problem, and yes I do speak French, its just annoying is all...

You can simply download the updated copy of the launcher8.apk from some other site. after that use any root exploring app like root explorer/es file maneger,( I hope you have root privilages on the rom you are using.) Just replace the old apk from /System/App folder of with updated one and set its permissions as (rw-r-r). You can also try fix permissions option from cwm recovery. Also you can find more help in your device's question and answers section.
You will be allowed to post in developement sections after you complete 10 posts. Make them helpful/cintributory to xda.
And you are most welcome here if you have any problems again.

Hi,
I can't post to the original thread - I don't have permission. I didn't do a backup because it said to do that if you didn't want to loose data and the phone is new and has no data. I tried holding the volume button and on button (is that recovery mode) and nothing happens.
What I don't understand is why the 'scatter file' appeared to be incomplete for the ROM (V3.1MOD (27-12-2012) ) and why the downloading stopped after the red bar.. I don't think I did anything wrong. Is there a problem with the scatter file, if so, there may be a lot of people wrecking their phones with this rom??
Still need help!
Hii, I have a htc touch pro 2.
My device doesn't seem to charge properly, when the phone is powered on and in use or not in use, the phone's battery stays the same.
When the device is turned off, it takes like 2 or 3 hours sometimes to charge it 30 % .
I tried a different usb cable, I got the same result.
Do you think the problem is in the battery or the charging port ?
P.S.: I have been using my battery for almost 2 years.

Its probably ur battery. Try using a new one. And check ur battery after removing it to see if its swollen.
And do u charge using a USB connection or by using a wall charger? Charging via USB is usually slower.

Hello, I'm new. i have no clue where the proper forums are. but here's my problem,
I ran twrp in rom manager and selected the wrong phone type on accident and my screen went black? never booted back up. cant hard reset/open recovery mode. I'm not sure what went wrong. I didn't flash a new rom or anything. just pressed to wrong phone model and poof no more phone. Any help will be much appreciated
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Flashing the wrong recovery for your device can brick it. Your best hope is to flash the stock firmware. Unfortunately I can't find specifically how to do that for your device. Here are some threads on using the LG flash tool. CAUTION, only flash files that are specific to your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498102
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
If you have questions you could try asking in those threads.
This helps a bit, thank you. I'm a little closer to solving this thanks to you. still need to find the tributes stock firmware and whatnot. did i mention when i plug my phone up to the computer, i can't use download mode. AND it shows up as removable disk g.
I'm sorry but I can't find any more information about your device than I already gave you. I see you posted in one of the threads. You're going to have to hope someone with your devices sees it and knows where to get the files you need for the LG flash tool.

Yeah, it sounds like the internal memory got borked, and without adb your options are quite limited.
As mentioned before, I would explain your predicament in the above thread (I see you have posted there already, can just edit the post to add the predicament). There won't be much of an audience, but it is better than the general help thread (and you have the advantage of bouncing ideas off someone who has the same device as you).
Hope this helps.

Today i got one of my friends phone(same as mine) and i did a back up work from system recovery mode and then used it to restore on my phone but an error occured again saying 'checksum compare fail' when i tried to restore the back up file. And by the way i am not sure how to use the ADB so can u help me send an easy steps to use it? Or maybe a link to it will be good enough.
With all my heart i thank you for your kind support.

Hello, i am new on this forum. I need help with my Huawei Honor 5x since it's not working anymore.
Some months ago i rooted the phone by following step by step this tutorial i found in this forum (here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190) and everything went well. But yesterday, after an update of the firmware Huawei (i think it was an EMUI update) the phone won't let me access anymore, it doesn't show any keyboard to digit the password and it doesn't recognize my fingerprint, plus it says my SD card is damaged, but to make sure of it i tried it on a PC and everything it's okay, the SD card works and nothing is really damaged.
So i tried to plug in the phone to the PC through a usb cable but since i am unable to access into the phone to autorize the usb option, it doesn't let me do anything and i can't even see the folder to acess on the phone through PC.
Now the only things i can do with the phone is:
1. Open the TWRP main screen.
2. Open the Huawei eRecovery screen, but without being able to connect to the WI-FI and so without being able to try to recover the phone through it.
3. Open fastboot.
Now, to be honest, i am not an expert so i have no idea about what to do, i need a huge help about how to solve the problem please.

But yesterday, after an update of the firmware Huawei (i think it was an EMUI update) the phone won't let me access anymore, it doesn't show any keyboard to digit the password and it doesn't recognize my fingerprint, plus it says my SD card is damaged, but to make sure of it i tried it on a PC and everything it's okay, the SD card works and nothing is really damaged.
So i tried to plug in the phone to the PC through a usb cable but since i am unable to access into the phone to autorize the usb option, it doesn't let me do anything and i can't even see the folder to acess on the phone through PC.
Now the only things i can do with the phone is:
1. Open the TWRP main screen.
2. Open the Huawei eRecovery screen, but without being able to connect to the WI-FI and so without being able to try to recover the phone through it.
3. Open fastboot.
Now, to be honest, i am not an expert so i have no idea about what to do, i need a huge help about how to solve the problem please.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Updating while rooted normally results in issues, if you still have twrp then you can try factory resetting in recovery or why not try one of the custom roms for your device from here

Hello and thank you, but how can i try a factory reset in recovery exactly? And which rom is the best to choose between these, or how can i install a cunstom rom on the phone? Sorry i am not much of an expert as i said.
Also there is a way to go back to the original stock?

Yes you can go back to stock using fastboot/spflashtools but that will remove your twrp recovery. If you download stock firmware from their website you can install it through either of those methods. If you choose to flash a Rom through twrp you will keep custom recovery and root. The good thing about that is you can make a back-up try different roms and then just restore.
Why not ask in the device forums, the experts there will give you plenty of help

In which part of the forum can i ask? I am new so i am not sure where to post.
Also, i could do all of these things even if my pc doesn't recognize my phone or without being able to digit any password to log in?

You can ask any questions for your device here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help
and the experts will help you. You can flash anything in twrp without needing to connect to PC but you would need to install sp flashtools to see if your pc could recognise your phone with it
Good Luck
