Hey Guys! So here's my problem today... You see my friend wanted a new ROM for his galaxy Y. And I, being a geek; accepted. Now when I flashed CWM, it worked fine at first but when I tried to reboot it at the CWM menu it says "Root access is missing. Root device. THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE." and there are 2 options either "-No" or "Yes - Root device (/system/xbin.".. Now, no matter what I choose it still wont boot up completely and open CWM. How do I fix this??? I don't want to ruin my friends new phone!! HELP!
It's title is "CWM-based recovery V6.0.5.3"
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
You should be asking your question in the device specific forum or in the forum for the Rom you are using. In most Development sections of each device specific forum you will find a thread on recoveries you can also ask in there or in the Q&A section for the device.
XDA Assist is here to guide you and point you in the direction you need to go.
We do not provide solutions or guides. We are a Developers site for Developers. Users are required to search and research their information. Please make sure you read everything and truly understand it before attempting to alter your very expensive device, in this case your friends.
Thank you and good luck

P.S. I will tell you that you should have selected NO when it first asked you if the device was already rooted, which it must have been since you installed custom recovery.

Good day all. I have scoured the net for a custom recovery for the Lenovo A7-30 (A3300) 7" tablet PC. The device comes with a standard recovery and as such I am not able to do restore Nandroid backups. (I have loaded and created backups with Online Nandroid manager but with no custom recovery can not restore them.) I have tried to see if there is a way to load a generic custom recovery but am not able to find anything relating. Do you know if there are any threads relating?
Chipset for the device is MTK8382.
Thank you for your help and time.
Hi there,
Thank you for posting here, but XDA Assist help you to find the right place to post or read your questions/answers.
And if I see right you already find the right place and post it your question in general forum here:
General discussion > Questions and Answers > Lenovo A3300 CWM or TWRP
So, best choice is to wait there an answer because on XDA forum I don't find any related thread to your question.
Good luck
Sincere apologies, I realized this after posting but thought I had deleted this post. If possible please could OP delete it?
Hey guys, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the right section.
I have been following steps posted in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609560
I managed to reach point number 8, but when I try to restart my phone, it won't show any "FOTA set of red messages" neither Badadroid logo, just regular Bada 2 gets succesfully loaded. I have no idea what am I doing wrong.
So far I have been trying 2 Roms:
http://www.file-upload.net/download-9315108/cm-11-20140802-wave-poweroff.zip.html
https://yadi.sk/d/C1iIRo1tSVyVF
With both of them I copied related zImage to phone root directory and the whole zip to root directory of SD card.
Then I flashed BOOTFILES and FOTA using Multiloader, both succesfully (using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732287)
https://yadi.sk/d/Yz7_dfpkC6TkC
https://yadi.sk/d/W4RjnjQRC6TfP
It still doesn't work, when I restart, just regular Bada loads. What should I do? Please help me, I am kind of new with this. Thank you in advance!
EDIT: OK, so I figured out that you have to hold END CALL + VOLUME UP to reach CWM. According to tutorial Badadroid logo should remain on the screen for like 5 minutes, but it's just a matter of second till I reach CWM. I installed Rom succesfully from ZIP, but when I restart the phone, it's Bada again :/

TY for reply, I didn't know that. I would like to ask in the specific thread, but I'm not allowed to since I am one of "New members (those with fewer than 10 posts)". :/
The way it works now... If you post in a development section, an automatic Q&A thread is created in the Q&A section.
So you can post there. ?
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hi there,
I currently have AOSP Neat Rom Android version 4.4.4 on the i9100 device. I am considering the option to restore my nandroid backup of Android version 2.3.3 made in ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2. However, I cannot find the firmware that matches the CSC I9100OZSKF4 here:
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/rom-guide-official-i9100-firmwares-lpe-t1075278]
I also tried looking on samfirmware.com/samsung-updates.com/androidfirmwares.net/sammobile.com but I cannot find a match. Some links are invalid now on the xda thread including the one for ZSKF4.
This is what *#1234# showed before I flashed the custom rom:
PDA: I9100ZSKF4
PHONE: I9100XXKE4
CSC: I9100OZSKF4
I want to go back to exactly this firmware with my nandroid backup of all apps/data/logs. All back ups are saved on computer and can be transferred into the phone via selecting MTP.
I thought of these options but I am not sure which is best or correct in my situation:
(1) If there is a restore to factory settings option in the recovery or settings, do I use it? Then re-root the device in android 2.3.3 and restore backup using clockworkmod included with the root files?
(2) Or if restoring to the original stock rom (factory settings) is not an option, do I find the closest GB firmware to what I want and flash it using Odin?
I also looked here for help but only JB/ICS is mentioned:
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701]
(3) I have Team Win Recovery Project v2.7.1.0 currently for AOSP Neat Rom. Because my backup file is made in ClockWorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2, I have to flash CWM before I can restore. I am not sure if I can even use the newest CWM to restore an old CWM backup. I am not sure if this is the best way and am very troubled.
I posted some questions already in this thread "[Q&A][SGS2][Newbies][Experienced Users][RCs] New members friendly Q&A thread". I was thinking this might be a more general question about restoring to stock rom and thought I can also ask here as well to get some insights on where to research next or at least get a confirmation that my thought process is on the right track.
Thank you so much for your time. I have been quite frantic due to the issues I encountered, so please forgive my constant posts.

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and here is no forum specifically for the Lava Xolo 1011 at this time but I suggest that you ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. I also see a number of references to your model from a site search at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=xolo q1011 which might be worth reviewing.
Good luck!

Hello, i want to know how to install a rom in TWRP which does not verify the build.prop file and just install without any device verification. I get status 7 error. Is there any rom which would install right away.
Any which does that or if somebody is able to create a simple rom which can help me and many other people. Would be very grateful.
Hi,
I see you are already familiar with your device section and that is where you should ask for help.... In your device sections Q&A section.
