I am a beginner at this so please excuse me.
I successfully rooted my phone, installed clockwork, super user was working, could connect like a dream with usb to the phone. Flashed stuff using fastboot in command line - all was good.
When I say successfully it did take a long time, the phone didnt work for a while but I flashed clockwork on then flashed the rom for my phone from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1063664.html
I used this one:
Android 2.3.3/GRI40/KB1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader (http://android.clients.google.com/p...2cf141e6a.signed-soju-ota-102588.f182cf14.zip)
Works on: I9020T, I9023
Official, signed, can flash with ClockworkMod or stock recovery. Contains recovery, radio and bootloader.
Which was great - sorted the phone a treat - I had the super user working - I installed the clockwork rom app - worked a treat - even did a backup (I think)
Then the phone tried to update to 2.3.4 which failed - right now I should of check the forums but thought I know I'll just flash the update from the above page - which failed - not to be defeated I tried harder using different roms through clockwork recovery or clockwork rom mod until sucess 2.3.4 GRJ22 build.
Then I find the super user app doesnt work or the clockwork rom - no problem boot into clockwork recovery - uh oh thats gone as well though i can get to android recovery.
I'll just flash clockwork recovery on but I cant as I've no access with adb or fastboot the phone is not connecting to the pc in fastboot mode with the android logo and phone details.
When I'm trying to use USB connection on the phone normally the USB man goes orange then back to green - and the phone prepares the USB storage again.
I can use a app to get files on to the sd card for use with android recovery so i try to reflash the 2.3.3 rom above that worked but I get the status 7 error with a long number 1297306095
I try the update again and this is where i realise that the update ROM i put on was the wrong one.
I flashed this: Android 2.3.3 (Build GRI54/KB3 Radio/KA3 Bootloader) (whole rom)
I should of flashed this Android 2.3.3 (Build GRI40/KB1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader) (smaller update)
I can flash the correct update above but it doesnt change anything.
I have spent a few days now trawling the forum with little success and having got all the correct drivers on the pc and had it connecting fine I am assuming it is a phone issue now
the base band details have changed from XXKB1 to XXKD1 and the build from GRI40 to GRJ22
I am at my wits end here and before I put a hammer to my phone and send it back as an insurance job I'd like to mend my stupid mistakes.
Thanks

it doesnt matter if you flashed the whole rom. (provided you didnt use odin)
first thing, try to format sd card through the phone,
then enable usb debugging and try using adb n fastboot.
also, try to flash a newer recovery.img ( be careful no to use one not meant for ur phone e.g ns4g...)
post ur results.
good luck
can't find an option from within the phone to format the SD card - found an app on the store that is called "format sd" which did something and allowed me to connect to the USB once but it was very flaky and took a few attempts at the "turn on usb" screen to get it to connect. I'm not sure that it wasnt just deleting the data from the sd rather than formatting as it took maybe 10 seconds first time and now its done straight away if I try again.
Edit - i've used the stock erase usb command within the phone and the USB connection within the phone seems to becoming more stable - I can read and write data to it from the pc but it still struggles to connect first time.
No change with command line commands abd or fastboot neither are connecting.
I've come to the conclusion that maybe I need to flash a newer recovery image (ROM?) myself but where do I find one? And how do i check that it really is the correct one for my phone - which of the details are important - should i use the original stock details? I'm confused, remembering all I can use is the "Android system recovery <3e>" that only gives me the option of reboot, apply update from sd card, wipe data/factory reset, & wipe cache partition.
I flashed the wrong ROM with the clockwork rom app from within the phone I dont know what odin is.
Thanks for the pointer anymore ideas or direction appreciated.

Try to wipe from the stock recovery and then install this
http://android.clients.google.com/p...2cf141e6a.signed-soju-ota-102588.f182cf14.zip
It is the full 2.3.3. It will return your phone to complete stock 2.3.3
P.s sorry i am not being able to help more. I am myself in a far bigger trouble
I tried that rom but got the status7 error. That one worked before under clockwork but won't reflash now. I can do a factory reset under stock but will that make a difference? I thought all that did was reset user data not the system data. I think l need to wait for a new stock Tom to be issued.

Tried the reset phone from within the phone and reset using stock recovery, still cant flash the old 2.3.3 rom above getting the status 7 error:
assert failed ! less_than _int(1297306095. getprop(ro.build.date.utc"))
so the usb works fine from within the phone when the phone is running normally, when I connect the phone in fastboot mode it shows as an Android ADB interface on the "safely remove hardware" window but i cant use any command prompt instructions on the phone - using fastboot devices to show connected devices I get no reponse.
Any ideas?
Any pointers to a later rom that will correct my problems?
Thanks

After a bit of experimenting I find that when the phone is switched on normally I can use the ADB devices command to return the ID of the phone. The fastboot devices command still returns a blank.
Is this normal?
Does this mean I could flash the clockwork recovery image onto the phone? or can all that malarkey only be done in fastboot mode?
thanks
Acne
You need the fastboot devices command to return your phone info then you can fastboot flash recovery in order to try flashing a recovery that will allow you to flash the rom you are getting a failed message from. The stock recovery can only flash official updates put out by Google iirc.
I am thinking you are having driver issues on the PC you are using. Try another PC with fresh drivers or uninstall and reinstall the drivers on the one you have been using.
sent from the nexus of the 4g universe
I've read up on the driver problems, I tried the phone on two different pcs using two different methods on each to install the correct drivers. none work. The phone used to connect fine which is how i rooted the phone. I'm using the same pc, same supplied cable and can see the ADB mounted in the "safely remove hardware" window
The adb command works when the phone is switched on normally, but not fastboot command.
When in fastboot mode neither works. Looking in device manager the android adb interface is listed fine under android phone.
I'm pretty sure its not the drivers.
Doesn't the above prove that the pc connects fine but the phone is broken in fastboot mode?
You could still flash the latest 2.3.4 full ROM with ODIN. The Phone will be restored completely and then you can root it again.
Thats great Odin looks like it will be the way forward, just so I dont make another noob error could someone point me in the right direction for the correct version of odin and a guide on how to use it. I have looked around the forum but am struggling to find the relevant thread
I have tried the usb/2 button and it enters download, the version od odin that i found (1.81) does see the phone but I think that version is for the 9020 only I have the GT-i9023 so dont want to use the wrong programme/rom
Thanks

Ok took a chance and flashed the phone with odin - great it worked reset all the fastboot mode values back to their original ones when i got the phone. (seems I chose the correct rom) the only difference is that the Carrier info is now EUR not VDF as it was when I first got the phone.
Applied the auto update to 2.3.4
Tried at every step but I still have no fastboot or ADB access the phone just doesnt connect. Tried different leads, tried different usb ports - nothing.
I'm stumped now unless there are any advanced settings in odin I should try.

The
Discovered after the auto update to 2.3.4 that the USB connection from within the phone was "broken" again, To sort this i did a format cache and reset phone from the stock recovery which sorted the usb connection. so thats that one solved then.
tried again to connect via command prompt, unistalled drivers - reinstalled drivers - no change still no devices detetcted.
Any good ideas?
Solved
using the usbdeview mentioned here I uninstalled all the usb drivers on my pc that looked like they could be anything remotely connected to the nexus and samsung.
I ran and updated/download pretty much everything i could through SDK
Then I did everything I read in this thread
Up till then I had been using the fastboot command found and downloaded through this thread
That continued not to work but when i tried the fastboot in the android-sdk/tools folder I finally got fastboot access.
Solved Solved Solved
to get my phone unlocked and updated I did an odin restore to 2.3.3 let it auto update to 2.3.4 copied the su(superuser zip) to the sd card. flashed clockwork recovery and then installed the su.zip with clockwork. after that I installed the rom manager from the android shop and Inow have the phone just how i want it.
To all those that have helped with their ideas here many many thanks.

I recently rooted my Nexus 5 by following directions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515640 I then installed a few apps, the ClockworkMod ROM Manager and then also the MultiROM Manager (not sure why). When I rebooted after the MultiROM manager, I get the Google screen but then... nothing. Just blackness.
I can restart to get back into the Boot Recovery mode and back to MultiROM, though my laptop won't recognize my phone so I can't install a ROM. It seems at some point, the entire ROM was wiped but I can't install a new one without having USB access to transfer the file. Any thoughts/ideas?
Have you installed the right drivers on your laptop?

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, you can use a otg connection to install another rom / kernel. Have you tried wiping data/cache via recovery? Fastboot should be working if you can go into fastboot mode, maybe you should check your drivers/cable or use another computer.
No custom recovery I don't believe... Android File Transfer (I'm on a Mac) pops up but says "Could not connect to device". I've connected this Nexus 5 many times before to this laptop (literally 20 minutes ago) so I don't think it's a driver issue.
I'm in the "Team Win Recovery Project", went into Wipe and then Factory Reset but when I reboot, nothing still.

Use Philz Touch recovery, TWRP has many issues like this...
If your device isn't being recognized by your MAC, then I will suggest you to find a pc or if you have a OTG cable with you, you can use it to flash a rom...
I have a lot of problems with my Droid Ultra: the phone doesn't store the settings, every time I turn off is as I delete all setting, contacts, ...
I can't make a hard reset, neither settings menu, nor bootloader, i couldn't do this.
I tried to flash the phone using RSD Lite and fastboot, mfastboot (all recovery, system, boot...) and it appears as everything is flashed but the phone still has the problems.
When I try to open recovery from bootloader it appears "Boot up failed" so i can't restore or flash from bootloader.
The phone is partially recognized by my PC, it doesn't open any visible option (explorer so i can't copy archives to my phone) (i installed Motorola device manager, but it appears as lost drivers)
When i try to use adb (with usb debugging enabled) it appears as "unauthorized"
I'm in 19.5.3, i tried to flash with 19.6.3, it appears as flashed but nothing changes.
Please help me! what can I do?
I have problems with my pantech discover magnus P9090, the problem is that the phone is completely bricked and dead. When i turned on the phone, it simply just shows BLACK SCREEN ( No Logo and nothing else). My assumption is that there is no OS inside or something causes it to be bricked. I have done almost everything by using Android Recovery (Not custom recovery) to do factory reset and wipe cache. I rebooted it and it doesn't work either. So i found a solution which is by using apply update from ADB. I understand the process but the only problem is
The device is not detected by ADB when i type "adb devices" it could be two problems:
a. No drivers for this phone installed (While i try to update driver, it fails)
b. USB Debugging off (Since phone can't get into OS, so im confused how to turn it on via other ways)
I got the Custom rom and CWM recovery image but how can i install the recovery and ROM if ADB isn't detecting the phone. I can't even use sideload command.
My plan to fix this is by installing CWM with the command "fastboot flash recovery [filename]" and then using CWM to push the file ROM into phone and install zip in SD card. However, it links back that i need the phone to be detected first. Anyone can help me? Thank you so much. Im so badly want to revive this phone. :good:
There's no other way until pantech usa release pdl file for restore discover..
