Custom ROM? You have SuperOSR or CyanogenMod?
You said something about "i had recently update my rom from htc service centre "..
What ROM do you have?

I'll try to help:
1. download the ROM from here:
http[:][doubleslash]alex.swtesting.ro[slash]downloads[slash]ruu_chacha_htc_asia_wwe_1.57.707.2_radio_47.23.35.3033h_7.51.35.19_release_228383_signed[dot]zip
2. extract and copy the system.img to the same directory as your fastboot tools
3. enter the fastboot mode by pressing volume down + power button after the device has been turned off.
4. choose fastboot by pressing power button, and then connect your phone to your PC
5. using fastboot tools, run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash system system.img"
6. run factory reset on your phone fastboot menu...
wait until reboot, and in my case: voila, it brings all the apps back

does this support arabic? oh and can you identify which apk is responsible for the world countries when you try choose a location for worldwide clock? cause i deleted that it seems and have no idea which one it was. and if you know which one it is, if there's a link for it or if the link above, contains it.thanks

does your boot loader have the tag **unlocked** ? only if it has unlocked tag you can install using fastboot else you get the error. unlock your bootloader, flash the zip/image, once done relock the bootloader if you need.

to unlock the bootloader using htcdev.. i need to update the software to 1.57.. and i am getting signature error ehile doing so using the patch provided earlier in the thread

Yes you need to update your boot loader. Download the RUU from HTCDev. run the ruu and check for the rom.zip file in temp folder. rename the rom.zip to PH06IMG.zip and update the zip file through bootloader(power + volume key method). Then your bootloader will be updated. Revert if any errors.
Dont use the patch, try the official version. It will work.

Hi hrishikol ,
i did a deodex to my phone app and now the chacha is stuck at the HTC logo,
can you please give me ideas on how to solve this problem?
i have installed CWM,in order to flush a ROM ,
but it is not functioning properly

The Guides above are incomplete ( missing a few steps ) and will result in boot loop most of the time. the correct procedure is :
Part 1 : Setting up Fastboot.
1. Make sure you have java installed, if not get it from here : http://java.com/ and install it.
2. Download the Android SDK manager from here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html ( get the exe download )
3. Install SDK manager, then run the android SDK manager.
4. Once launched it will show you available updates, choose ONLY these two "Android SDK Platform Tools and Android SDK Tools" and update them.
5. After update is complete close the sdk manager and go to the SDK manager platform-tools folder, normal path is : ( C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
6. Copy the following 3 files from this folder : "adb.exe" , "AdbWinApi.dll" and "fastboot.exe"
7. go to your c drive ( c:\ ) and make a new directory called "fastboottools"
8. copy the 3 files above into your fastboottools folder.
9. so now your should have a folder like this : "c:\Fastboottools" with the following 3 files in it "adb.exe" , "AdbWinApi.dll" and "fastboot.exe".

That is it, Fastboot tools is setup. Proceed to next guide.
Flashing guide :
1. download the ROM from here:
ruu_chacha_htc_asia_wwe_1.57.707.2_radio_47.23.35. 3033h_7.51.35.19_release_228383_signed.zip
2. Extract and copy the system.img AND boot.img to the same directory as your fastboot tools "C:/fastboottools" ( make sure to copy both files )
3. Enter the fastboot mode on your phone by pressing volume down + power button after the device has been turned off.
4. Choose fastboot on the phone by pressing power button, and then connect your phone to your PC
5. Using fastboot tools, open the Command prompt and navigate to "C:\fastboottools" then run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash system system.img"
6. Dont reboot, Using fastboot tools, run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
( The two commands in step 5 and 6 are different, make sure to type each one correctly and to do them straight after each other )
7. Reboot phone. let it boot up, you will still get bootloop or error message.
8. Take out the battery.
9. Boot back into bootloader ( Volume down + power ).
10. Now choose recovery.
11. Phone should now reboot itself and bam, all should now work fine.

Half bricked Xoom, deleted everything - help appreciated

Hello,
again i need help I have unlocked the bootloader on my Xoom, the i have flashed TWRP and downloaded a Rom and the Gapps. I copied the gapps onto the device and followed instructions which came with the rom. I was instructed to wipe "system" too which i did.
Of course that deleted the downloaded rom and gapps too. Now i have TWRP and was excited to mount USB storage and just copy over again the rom and gapps but unfortunately there is no mount as USB option.
What and how is the smartest way to go about it? I wanted to sideload over ADB but the device is not found. I have really tried everythin in my knowledge, hope someone can help
cheers

Come on guys, really need help here. My kids are killing me for the damn thing

I have same problem.......it's an issue of twrp !

Have you tried a micro sd card? (copy the rom and gapps there from a pc then put it in the Xoom, etc...)
Worst case, you should be able to grab the stock images http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Xoom and fastboot flash the device back to stock.

Have the same problem
dosada, could you solve the problem?
airesch, I tried to mount sd card but it is impossible. How can I return to stock without ADB because computer is not recognized?

Stock flash doesnt require adb, just fastboot mode. You may need to still install a driver, but if you can boot into recovery then the xoom should also be able to boot into fastboot mode and be recognized by a pc. If the instructions on the link I gave arent enough, I will see if I cant find something tomorrow when I am on a pc.

NOTE: This WILL erase everything remaining on the device. In the case of the above, I don't know that you have much choice, just be forewarned.
Lord AIO toolkit has all the tools you need (look at the second post if you need the Windows driver.) Extract both the stock image zip and the toolkit (unless you have the sdk, in which case as long as you can find fastboot.exe you should be fine,) to somewhere convenient. Install the windows driver if you never have before and reboot your pc.
1. Boot your Xoom in fastboot mode: Power+Vol+ until it says: Starting Fastboot protocol support (you may need to tap the Vol+ instead of holding it the whole time, my Xoom has always been a bit picky about the buttons.)
2. Connect the usb to the pc
3. In a Command prompt window, go into the extracted version of the toolkit above (or if you have the sdk, just go to where you have fastboot.exe from it)
4. Run the following commands (replacing the files at the end with the full extract path from your stock image zip extract)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
"fastboot reboot" if you want to stay unlocked or "fastboot oem lock" if you want to re-lock and follow the prompts. The Xoom will get OTA updates even if it's unlocked, so there should be no reason to re-lock unless you need to send it in for service.
The driver isn't what I used to use, but it *should* work, and the instructions should be correct as far as I can remember. As long as you don't flash the wrong image to the wrong place/run out of power during flashing/disconnect during a flash then none of this should permanently damage the hardware and should get you a working device again. It's just that it's been so long since I have personally done any of this that I have forgotten more than I ever knew .

Hey airesch, thank you for your support. I couldn´t follow yours suggestion because my xoom was not recognizing the PC or MAC. However I discovered that my sdcard was broken. When I´ve tried a new one with ZIP files inside it works perfectcly and I could return to my old room doing flah in the recovery mode of TWRP2.2.
It is important to note that my Xoom did not find .IMG files inside the card but only ZIP ones. Any way it worked perfectly and I hope this solution will serve to other in solving his/her problems.
Many thanks

Well, that works too, and that was closer to what I originally suggested (tho I didn't expect you had a bad sd card.)
And yes, recoveries generally don't support IMG files directly, you need to have a specially crafted zip to flash those in. IMG files directly are for fastboot/pc tool flashing.
Congrats on fixing it.

Flashed stock recovery and thought I soft bricked my shield tablet.

First I'll give credit where it is due. From two threads on this site is where I got help with this issue:
I followed THIS guys steps for manually erasing and got the recovery images and lots of other useful information from HERE. Thank you guys very much!
OK, so, hopefully I can help someone with my little story as well. I was having issues with apps and programs crashing on me with lollipop and the new marshmallow update. The tablet just wasn't working properly and moving slow. I even had the SD card holding all my apps and larger files so I didn't overload the internal storage. So, I decided I wanted to flash back to factory/stock recovery and go from there. I did this using THIS method. I flashed via the "flash-all.bat" file (the command in fastboot is the same as the file name). I should note that there was one instance that failed during the install (I did try it again and got the same failure). Said something about “did you mean you wanted to flash this partition” or something, then showed it failed. After flashing I hit continue on the bootloader screen of the tablet and it said it was "cold booting." After about 5 minutes or so it started to boot but never made it past the NVidia screen. I tried wiping the phone with factory reset, wiping the cache, etc. and then re-flashing the recovery (again with the .bat file). I tried flashing TWRP but it didn't install apparently, because it still went to factory recovery. I even re-locked and then unlocked my bootloader to see if that would set everything straight. Nothing seemed to work. I knew I would eventually find a solution though so I kept looking. Stumbled on some other people that had the same issues but no solution (hope those people got it figured out). So here's what I did after some more research:
First, if you're in this situation and you did factory reset to try and resolve the problem, you may feel like you can no longer communicate with the device via fastboot/adb, but as long as you have the usb drive and your SDK tools installed (I used CodeWorks for Android all-in-one program) that shouldn't be a problem. You'll just have to be in the bootloader on the tablet.
-If for some reason you deleted or uninstalled your drivers and tools you'll have to download them again and then, the computer should still be able to communicate with the tablet. In the device manager under portable devices it will still show up as Module something or other. So the computer still sees the device but doesn't fully recognize it yet. Don't worry, this should still work! Just make sure you that fastboot is seeing the device by inputting "fastboot devices" in the command window and a 14 digit serial number should pop up. If it just says "list of devices" or there's nothing then you wont be communicating with the tablet.
Your device should be connected to your computer and started in bootloader mode. On your computer you should have the command prompt for adb/fastboot open. I just go to the folder where the .exe files are located and hold shift and right click in the white space of the folder, then select "open command window here."
From here follow the erase steps: stolen from manigault! :highfive:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
Then flash your recovery MANUALLY:
fastboot flash recovery {dir}/recovery.img
fastboot flash boot {dir}/boot.img
fastboot flash system {dir}/system.img
fastboot flash userdata {dir}/userdata.img
fastboot flash staging {dir}/blob
fastboot flash dtb {dir}/tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb
You can download whatever recovery version you wish. I downloaded 2.2.2 because that's what my device came with out of the box on Christmas 2014. It will more then likely be a .zip file. To make this whole process a little easier simply extract the files in the .zip file where the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files are located (folder should be named platform-tools) and you can completely eliminate typing the whole directory before the file name. ***After your done flashing everything you can go back and delete those files if you want. Just double check that you're deleting the right files by looking at the original zip file. Not sure if it makes a difference but I deleted them anyway.
For example the commands in fastboot will look like this exactly :
(after extracting recovery files into platform-tools folder)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash dtb tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb
Note: Do NOT use the flash-all.bat command as this doesn't seem to work for this situation. Do it manually like shown above. And let each individual process complete before attempting to input another command.
After this step I didn't select continue on the bootloader. You can either select reboot or simply input "fastboot reboot" into the command window. It may take about 5 minutes to start installing everything but just be patient, it should start. Sometimes with these things you have to do things twice before it works. If for some reason it doesn't work the first time then start from the beginning and try it again. It took two times for me, but that's because I installed system.img twice and was getting double screen. Newb error... and I was a bit inebriated last night when I did this.
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks again to manigault and MidgetMob!
NVIDIA download files HERE!

i think i done the same thing
but the problem i now have is i cnt get tablet into fastboot on pc. i can load fastboot on tablet with power and volume down , but the tablet only shows as MTP device in device manager. i have downloaded drivers from nvidia and no matter what i try i cant install them i have been through all instructions but scince it went to mtp device i cant get device showing in adb. The only way i can get device showing in adb on pc ist to select apply update from adb ! but none of these commands listed in your post will work because its in sideload. is there anyway i cn reset , flash custom rom ect bu using commands while device is in adb sideload.
all i get is now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>".....
if you could shed any light on this it would be much appreciated , thanks , lester

did you update official android 6.0 before? then, not working stock recovery, stock boot...
If you can enter bootloader mode, download unofficial twrp 3.0.0.0 (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/wip-twrp-2-8-0-1-unofficial-t2877117) and flash it.
i have a working boot.img file on marshmallow if you want.. please reply.

Sorry for the late response! I have no clue how you got into sideload??? Are you talking about through the recovery on your device? You're not able to get adb/ fastboot to recognize the device, right? It doesn't matter how you get the tablet into the bootloader. Whenever you have the phone in the bootloader then you'll use the fastboot command to "talk to" the device; i.e. "fastboot devices" without the quotes. That command should show your device if it shows as an MTP device whenever you open your "device manager" in windows. That's the same exact situation I was in. Download the codeworks from nvidia like I linked above. Hopefully then you should be able to recognize your device through the bootloader. If not DM me and I'll try to help you.

I'm having the exact problem as Lester. Tablet boots into bootloader but won't connect to computer. So I go into recovery mode and nothing works except apply update from adb. Which brings up the side load message that Lester quoted. And bootloader is showing "device=locked". I am attempting to fix this tablet for a friend that messed it up trying to flash a custom rom. Problem is he had no idea what he was doing and I'm not exactly sure what he did. I do however have a lot of experience with rooted android devices and flashing so any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------
Also, I've already tried flashing stock rom back onto the tablet by applying update from sd card function in the recovery but when I try to do that the tablet for some reason can't mount the sd card.

If you've got the device in bootloader then you need to use fastboot, not adb. Try the command 'fastboot devices' and see if the device id is listed. If so then grab a factory image, unzip it and use fastboot to flash the .img files using the commands 'fastboot flash system system.img'. Just make sure to match the partition names to the files.

Hello i have similar issue except when i try flash something i get this error ''remote: file write failed''
and i have to reboot into fastboot to get it flashing fully
but even though i managed to flash everything by rebooting when i boot system nothing shows up, i can just see the back light coming on and turning off after a while
Please help

softbricked pixel

Hello everybody, hope u doing fine.
i was looking to root my pixel, so i installed kingroot and it rooted it just fine, then i wanted a root manager so i went to play store installed supersu (i guess that was the cause, i shouldn't have done that),then i opened it, it asked to download binaries(or install i'm not quite sure...), anyway this went fine too, then it sayed, everything gone right, restart your device, i clicked in reboot, it restarts with google logo and animations, but it bassicaly wont boot it is just stuck at the dots animation.
the problem is that i left oem bootloader locked, so now i can't do anything via fastboot adb... when i do: fastboot oem unlock , it says: failed (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
i searched a bit more and found that we can unbrick qualcomm powered devices with qfil flashing tool, but requires a firmware wich is in .mbn format, wich i don't find on the internet (at least for the pixel), maybe there's a custom rom in mbn format...
i'm on android 7.1.2, stock rom, unlocked version.
please tell me if there's a way to fix that,
thank you in advance ? !

Did you try turning the phone off and then using the power-on + volume down key to get to the bootloader menu? from there press the volume up key until you get to recovery and the press the power button. In recovery do a factory reset. That should take care of stuff. In future, don't use kingroot as it's a malware ridden app (that is if you care about your personal data). If you need root then use Magisk instead. Gives you root and also a root manager. If you are planning to tamper with root then make sure to have your bootloader unlocked. Let me know if factory reset worked.

yes i tried to factory reset it from recovery mode ( i did that twice ) and that didn't help.

I have one more idea you could try. Download latest OTA update from here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
go into recovery and follow the instructions given on the link I just gave you and apply the update using adb sideload in recovery. (You have to manually get into recovery as you did before but follow the instructions from the point where you're inside the recovery.) This should work. Seems that kingroot/supersu corrupted your system somehow. Let me know if it worked.

i already came across that site because i was on android p, i didn't like it so i went back to nougat...anyway to say that i have the nougat image .zip , so do i have to download the latest firmware ?

ok ok, that's not the same...SORRY ?? !!

yeah, it's not the same and you'll find the 8.1.0 update there and the updates from the past. Give it a go and tell me the results when you're done

i tried that, everything went as intended, when i power it up there's animations of 8.1 but still wont boot.
i tried to wipe data and boot again, nothing.
is there a way to flash stock rom with adb (just like we did with that update) ?

now, the phone just booted up and i'm on the set up screen, BUT it showed me a pixel 2 , and theres a lock at the top left corner and it asked for a pattern (cause i did a wipe)... it's like another phone stuck in mine ?!

no since i did a wipe ( i guess i shouldn't have done that) , now when it boots it is locked, it is asking for a pattern, wjch i don't know because i didn't set a pettern previously.
i guess i'm stuck here for ever ? ??

is there a way to flash the stock firmware via stock recovery or external flashing tools on pc, if yes please explain how !

((((Update))))
I didn't notice that there was a connect to Google option, so I finally set up the phone with my Google account and I'm back in.
I'm very thankful to you man you saved my phone, thank you a lot.

I'm glad it worked itself out.
I'm from Norway. Married a swede so living in Sweden now. My parents are from Sri Lanka (the island below India) but moved to Norway before I was born. I've been to Sri Lanka once. Would like to travel to India sometime too :silly:
Algeria seems nice. Must be hot there. I've never been to Africa. Would like to travel there too some day

Yes totally, Algeria is really safe and people here won't bother you (like if you're wondering how u would be seen or received as a foreigner) there's foreigner all year round but especially in summer time, just have something planned in advance because it's Algeria not USA or another well developed country ? but still there's a lot to see here, definitely worth the visit.
When it comes to whether, well it's a Mediterranean weather so expect nice warm days, that being said, there's some time when it goes rainy with thunders and cold, for example now it is very pleasant outside, but yesterday the weather gone crazy... I guess that's because of the global warming.

1) Install the Google Android driver if your Pixel isn't already recognized by your computer when booted to fastboot mode.
https://developer.android.com/studio....html#download
2) Download the factory system image for Pixel to C:/Google
https://developers.google.com/android/images
3) Unzip the system image folder into same folder, same with adb/fastboot tools in C:/Google
4) Run these commands in cmd prompt as administrator while Pixel is in bootloader mode
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-sailfish-*.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-sailfish-*.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot reboot
hope this helps

I'm sure this gonna help me in the future, as i'm planing to try some custom Rom's and i'm probably gonna brick it again so ? ... Thanks you ? !

erased os on mi mux 2s

Hi ppl. I need help bad! I accidentally erased my os. So when I try to flash a rom using the mi flash tool(which is amazing) it won't work because I have no operating system to enable USB debugging.so it says enable USB debugging but I can't. Any help would be appreciated TW RP installed unlock bootloader. Thanks in advance!!

just flash recovery rom using twrp then.

Way ahead of you..I tried to transfer several times,files,etc from my PC for some reason two stops halfway and doesn't copy them or move them. Only thing I haven't tried it is ADB sideload.. for some reason that never seems to work for me or work out the way I wanted to.

So twrp is flashed? Then yes try sideload. Also make sure your ADB is up to date as I've had that cause issues with large files and sideload before.

Miflash doesn't need for usb debugging to flash rom I believe. It's all fastboot. If ur phone is not detected by pc, it means drivers.

It does indicate USB debuging not on. So yes it does . I've used it before to flash TWRP. The flash will also install the drivers before you use it so I can understand why it won't let me transfer anything from PC to phone when fastboot mode. It won't let me get past that stuff in this USB debugging is enabled. Frustrating brand new phone to only a couple weeks old.

Have you booted to twrp and format data (the one where you have to type "yes")?
Mi flash only required adb because it needs to run adb reboot fastboot. I'm in the States as well, PM me and maybe we can get this guy working over remote support. I haven't seen this issue myself, so I can't comment much.

@noobtoob,thx man. I can't format data because no keyboard is available for some reason. How can I pm you?

Its all good. I'm about to pick up my kids from school, so let me head home, I'll PM you in a bit. We can use TeamViewer or something. If it comes down to it, I also have my work login to use for remote assist. You just need a semi up to date laptop or desktop computer.
Hopefully we can get this solved quickly. I'm unfortunately not in your immediate area, otherwise much easier hands on. The company I work for is down the street from your location however, I'm just a remote systems guy.

Only thing is for some reason I can't transfer anything for my PC to TW RP or my internal storage some reason just doesn't accept it and it's not my computer

I had the exact issue two days ago and the only thing that worked was to manually flash to stock. Since you already have the fastboot rom downloaded and extracted the hard work is done. What you need to do is to put all the files from that main folder (images) into a folder that you have adb installed. Then with your phone connected in fastboot open up a command prompt and once you have the directory set to where your fastboot is type the following and wait until each is done and says okay to move on.
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img (I can't remember if this one actually flashed. I think it failed but it didn't matter)
fastboot flash logo logo.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img (this one will take a long time to start flashing, don't worry. Also, there are about 5 files it will flash so be patient)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
That puts you back to stock. I spent almost a whole night freaking out because I didn't have an OS and I couldn't get TWRP to reinstall. Once I did that and got things going I downloaded the same versions update on the phone (the one that can be flashed through the update page in settings) and did a flash of that as well.

The OP's issue was solved by just flashing TWRP, booting to it and sideloading the Stock ROM. I had the OP download the fastboot files as well, but we ended up not needing them.
