. I opened in regular CMD. I opened file directory of adb with desired Rom inside and typed adb sideload (update.bin) (was supposed to be stock firephone Rom )
Loading......
Bla.....
Pressed reboot.
Oy, now fone won't turn on and when I plug it into the computer the computer shows several disks each with a message that they need to be formatted in order to be used. but when I try to it fails and says the disk is read only. Only disk I had some stuff on it
Any hope or is my phone GONE?

[Completed] [COMPLETED][Q] Fusion5 premium+ stuck in recovery mode

TABLET: Fusion5 Premium+ (Re-branded yuandao N90 II dual core RK3066)
ISSUE: The tablet is now stuck in recovery mode (red triangle black exclamation) Stock 3e recovery after a failed firmware upgrade which I think was due to me selecting 'upgrade' and not 'restore'.
Details:
Before this failure rkbatch tool could see my device.
I have now tried rkbatch tool on 4 different PC's with different OS'es (Win8 x64, Win7 x32, Win XP x32, Linux x32) and at least 5 different USB cables using the latest driver_assist and batch tools or Linux equivalents.
Can not get rktools to see device in flash mode on any of them.
All the PC's can see it in ADB though.
“adb devices” reports device in recovery mode.
There's no fastboot and no shell which reports *“exec*'/system/bin/sh' failed:*No*such file or directory” but sideload appears to work.
“adb ls” of /sys /system /data etc show they are all empty.
I have the found the following firmwares specifically for this device
:LINK withdrawn
:LINK withdrawn
PM for the links
Unfortunately both of these updates are *.img files which as I can't connect using rkbatch
tool, I can't flash.
I have tried zipping them and flashing from sideload or from SDCARD both both fail, from sdcard the error is “no update found”. In sideload mode it reports “installation aborted” after the verifying the update stage. I'm quite sure there is more to creating a working update.zip but unsure of the details.
My question is does anybody no of a way to convert these supplied .img files into a format, prbably update.zip, that I can either install via sideload OR from sdcard?
Thanks

[Completed] Can you help me save my device (Tablet) ?

Hi.
I have done something stupid
Some website claimed that rom manager from clockworkmod would not work unless twrp was installed. (I guess they meant "for getting the CWM Recovery Boot Menu to work").
I had already rooted my device (Denver Tablet TAQ-80053 ARMv7 with Android 4.1.1) but I thought why not flash to TWRP with the file: "CWM-based-Recovery-v6.0.3.3-signed.zip" ?? BAD idea
Now "Recovery Mode" is only the "TeamWin Logo" then BLACK SCREEN and nothingness ??
Everything else is somewhat normal:
1) I can boot normally into the start screen of Android 4.1.1 and run applets etc.
2) I can connect to Windows 7 (x64) and get file access to everything.
But: Any flashing tool for windows cannot "see" my device, and I very much doubt that it could be a driver problem since I get full access to drives and files on the tablet (USB-connected to Windows 7 x64).
Do you have any thoughts about that ? Because to me it seems logical that a working windows-driver would also work with ADB or ... ?
I also tried the ADB installation with SDK etc. Everything installs fluently with no errors but when I do the "adb devices" command no devices are listed at all ?? The command "ADB Shell" returns an error.
Since I know about the settings needed on the tablet I have: set USB Debug Mode to ON and everytime I plug it in I select "Mass Storage Mode" to get file access from Windows; and it works fine.
As stated above, everything works except "boot into recovery mode" and ADB being able to "see" my device. Not even CWM Rom Manager can boot into recovery mode ??
I want to be able to flash a new OS but recovery mode seems to be the only way apart from the USB to Windows. I cannott accept the notion that the device is "almost bricked" just from installing the wrong
recovery image and now I cannot go back .....
I have spent too much time already and I have discovered that I am not the only one with this problem but I cannot find any solution (that actually works) anywhere. So writing to you guys must be my last
hope. The alternative is getting an axe and chop it to pieces just to be shure that it's completely dead and my $150 lost forever; gone out the window :\
Can anyone please advise me what to do ??

[Completed] Can a device on BOOTLOOP be recognized on the computer (to back up the data)?

Hi, XDA,
I own a Samsung tablet (GT-n5110) which is in bootloop (the same that is being called "soft brick" - it loops on Samsung frame and doesn't leave it).
I don't have a data backup (yes, I'm an idiot). It enters Recovery Mode (HOME+VOLUME UP+POWER), but before wiping it to factory configuration I am desperatelly trying to back the data up.
The device isn't rooted. I read in many foruns that it could be possible to back it up through ADB (in Linux, through $ sudo adb backup -all). I use Linux (ubuntu), but the device isn't recognized by ADB [$ sudo adb devices]. I have alredy updated UDEV rules with the correct idVendor and idProduct and I have alredy restarted ADB server.
I have no problem on connecting to Windows in case it is needed in any way. But untill now I haven't found a way to do it neither in Linux nor in Windows.
When I connect the device to the computer, it is recognized and charges, but it isn't possible to access the files (which alredy happened before the bootloop and surely indicated that something was wrong). In Linux, it says the computer cannot access the files because of some MTP failure (I have alredy installed and updated mtp-tools). In Windows, it simply says it cannot access the device.
Is there a way to do it? Should I keep looking?
Or is it simply impossible that a device on bootloop could be recognized by the computer to back the data up?
Thanks A LOT, I really need this help!

[Completed] Unable to load FireFireFire onto Kindle Fire Gen 2 / Device not mounting

I'm having some trouble mounting a Kindle Fire in Fastboot mode on my system which is running Ubuntu 14.04.
I am new to any kind of Android development and have been following the excellent guides here by @kinfauns. Specifically I have the 5-scecond boot loop problem related to the power draw issue. The solution I'm pursuing is to swap the stock bootloader for FireFireFire. The guide says to do it with fastboot, since the conventional flash recovery method could be interrupted by the shutdown cycle.
So now, just when I think I have a solution to my real problem, I get out the fastboot cable, connect the kindle to my PC, and I get an error in Nautilus: Unable to open MTP device '[usb:001,006]'. Attempting mtpfs at the terminal returns:
Unable to open ~/.mtpz-data for reading, MTPZ disabled.Listing raw device(s)
Device 0 (VID=1949 and PID=0007) is a Amazon Kindle Fire (ID1).
Found 1 device(s):
Amazon: Kindle Fire (ID1) (1949:0007) @ bus 1, dev 6
Attempting to connect device
LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to find interface & endpoints of device
Unable to open raw device 0
I tried following a tutorial on Ubuntu forums for getting MTP to work. It involves using lsusb command to get the device id, making entries in /etc/udeb/rules.d and /lib/udev/rules.d, supposedly to allow MTP to access the device with proper credentials. However nothing worked.
Now, on the other hand, when the device is NOT in Fastboot mode, it mounts just fine, both in Nautilus and for purposes of checking with the adb devices command.
Seems to me that what I want is for it to mount in file transfer mode instead of MTP mode when in fastboot. The fix for this exact issue in Windows (as reported on other sites) is to change the driver in Windows Device Manager.
Can anybody help with this problem?
Thanks
