I've tried all the different ways of flashing a new rom to my phone however my upload process is always stuck at 0%.
I'm able to boot into my phone's stock ROM after leaving the phone for a few days with the battery disconnected. As soon as I wanna throw in my sim card or try to flash anything to the phone, I get the same problem of unsuccessful flashing.
I've tried flashing via micro sd card, didnt work.
Anybody?

edit: link
the first two links you've provided are useless.
the second one, i am fully aware of and have studied it and tried it.
what other options are out there other then MTTY and micro sd flashing?
I've tried both without any luck.
Like I said, I cannot flash anything to my phone through regular flashing procedure.
What HardSPL are you running? Hit me up on IM, I could try to help you.

the first is the most important because it states forum rules and you should have posted this question in the proper thread instead of starting a new thread. so you need to go ask this in a flashing thread such as the flashing for newbs.

There is a sticky @ the top and threads with relevant info, then post in the relevant thread and not make a new.

It may seem harsh, but this site has almost 1.8 million members, we simply cannot have people starting new threads every time they have got a problem. Especially in the rom development section, which is supposed to be dedicated to the development of new roms, not solving people's phone issues. And especially again, when in the sticky at the top of the page, there is a section dedicated to being stuck in bootloader ( tri-color screen )
It is ironic that the major complaint from new users is that it is too hard to search and find anything on the site. So they instead turn around and start a new thread for their problem, further compounding the problem and cluttering the site with more redundant problems and more redundant posts. And then take open offense when the more senior members who try to curtail this problem by suggesting a little research in lieu of another new thread on an old subject.
I have a similar problem
Hy. My HTC TYTN II is making me hard days. when i restart he blocks in the three colour screen and i have to pray and hope that he will start normaly. And when he finally does it runes as new...till i restart. Could anyone help me. Others said it's a software problem. Ok. what can i do?

Curious, your first post and it is right after two posts by Senior members who pointed out that if you go to the sticky in the Kaiser ROM Development and read the thread about Flashing for Noobs you will find out information that will help you with a problem.
Did you even read the two previous posts?

Spot on but we know that tommorow will be another day
Hi, I'm quite upset and I don't really know what to do. You see, I bought I Nexus One and since I'm a computer tech (Network is my strong point and I also got a Professional diploma of informatics support)I thought I could go and mod my thing out. Thing is everything worked fine until I downloaded Cyanogen with Rom Manager Premium (Crack3d)and tried to install it. At first it simply shut down the screen, rebooted a few times and restarted normally, then I retried downloading and it brought me to the reboot in recovery mode to install cyanogen popup. Clicked ok and then it rebooted another 3-4 times and when it came back, it was cyanogen splash screen bugging and rebooting in the middle of the loading. I have Android SDK if that changes anything, I just really don't even know how to bring any sort of menu from my pc or my phone.
P.S. I didn't cleared cache and didnt do any backup[thats no that important].
Thanks

First, please don't double post. You don't need to start two threads for the same problem.
Second, I'd start by searching the nexus one forum, reading through the wiki, then, if you still have questions or need assistance, posting in the nexus one q&a forum.

What's this 'cracked' thing you mention? I truly hope you're not saying it was a warez copy that you downloaded to avoid paying for it? The App developer posts his work on this forum and would just love to meet you!
You started flashing custom ROMs without doing a backup? Bit unusual for a 'computer tech' with a 'professional diploma' to be so reckless.
Threads closed will deal with it personally
M T M
I flashed a MIUI rom which didn't work well on my phone and started to hang. All of a sudden it just shut down and nothing was there. I later used Odin 1.7 and the stock rom and 512 pit file to flash it back to stock. The process was successfully complete and it restarted the phone. However, the phone screen is completely black at the point where it is supposed to show the home screen. When I touch the haptic buttons at the bottom it lights up but that is it. Nothing happens.
I tried to go to recovery mode by pressing BOTH VOL BUTTONS and POWER BUTTON. It says Android system recovery <2e> as the title. At this point if I want to install a new custom ROM I have to select reinstall packages. I do that and it shows error in red font as follows:
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
There are fixes to this error that involves connecting the phone with the PC through USB but my phone doesn't start at all as I have mentioned earlier.
Have I completely lost this phone?
Please understand that you need to flash a Custom Recovery before you can flash custom Rom. The Stock Recovery that you have will not be able to flash Custom Roms. Here's a thread that describes how you can do so. What I do wish to caution is that you should ensure the phone is working optimally before you proceed with Custom Roms. If there are no issues otherwise, then you can proceed to flash a Rom of your Choice.
Hello,
When I searched, I found the following thread: ** [GUIDE] FIX AND RESCUE YOUR VIBRICK + ODIN SUPPORT! N00b Friendly **.
The secont part could help you: "NO-BOOT PHONES".
Good luck!

Yes. I found it too. However, when I followed the procedure I stupidly checked Repartition in the Boot Cycle process. I was on this phone for five hours and it was around 4 or 5 in the morning and I was sleepy. :'( I don't know if that irreversibly took away my only chance at bringing back my phone.
I tried the same process with repartition unchecked but I guess the damage was done by then. FML.
I think at this point you're going to have to comb through the vibrant Q&A section for similar issues and see if any fixes help. The guys in that forum section know the best, hopefully there's an answer there somewhere.
The guide posted above didn't help, not sure we here can do much more.
You could post your problem there too....again, the members there know what they're doing with that particular model.

@MiniGunnR, I do not believe you have permanently bricked the device. All you need is correct partitioning of your phone to get it back. This is usually done with the help of .PIT Files that are flashed via Odin. A PIT File simply put is a file with Partition information on the Device. Here's a thread that explains what its all about. remember that thread is NOT for your Device. Its just for your information.In the thread @Hammer_Of_The_Gods had linked, you will find there are PIT files for download. Make sure they are for your exact device specifications. If in doubt, you can ask on that thread.
EDIT - If you open a new in Vibrant's Q&A Section, I am sure there'd be someone would love to help you there.
Sometimes a different version of Odin can help too. I know on my S2, I had 3 goto versions for doing different things. Maybe try that.

No, you won't have to re-flash the image as resetting the unit doesn't wipe the system, just data

The forum gets it's bad name from the stupid questions asked over and over (and over) again each time a new update comes out, not from frustration boiling over. I was being rude so next time the person will think twice about posting and think to use the search function first...
And, for the record, I said the question was retarded, not the person asking it Perhaps don't take everything in life so seriously

I guess it depends what the remit of the forum is. I was of the opinion noobs were welcome. Often the search either takes or frankly isn't that effective.
Thankfully I'm thick-skinned, but I wonder how many people would now be afraid to post in fear of their question being called "retarded". Seems like something you should keep for the playground to me.
Actually, this forum was never originally designed for n00bs - quite the opposite! The side-affect of Android taking off means more have come here for information but very few are willing to learn/read/search and just want instant answer. This isn't the way forward and, as a n00b, you should come and read as much as possible first and only when truly stuck do you ask for help. Even rule number 1 of this very forum is to search:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting or creating a new thread. Whether you have a question or just something new to share, it's very likely that someone has already asked that question or shared that news.

This.
We're here for development purposes. A side effect of ROM development unfortunately is noobs. Thats why we spent a lot of time making sticky threads in the hope that you can all draw from our knowledge and have enough info to not ask these sorts of questions.
That said, please see the "guides and info threads" link in my signature. You will learn a lot there and it would have prevented asking the question about having to reflash the image (which is unfortunately a really basic question)
I have done this through the OS, stock recovery, and through TWRP.. still showing 12.55GB as total space on a 32GB N5, any other ideas? Just getting restless on the wipes.
Also, in case it's needed, I was getting the system image error, flashed each command separately, and did the fastboot flash cache/userdata steps as well when I first flashed the system.img

I fixed my issue... reflashed all the files, and then before booting up fully, I booted into recovery and cleared cache and userdata, then ran everything properly.
Finally showing the proper size and even rooted and TWRP installed, no issues so far. Good luck!
I've been trying to do the same for hours, followed method 2 : [TUTORIAL] How to flash a factory image
up to : "★When a small dead Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP."
But when I press power+volume up nothing happens
Any idea ? Also is there a reason why fastboot boot recovery twrp.img does not work ?

you need to put it into cmd as "Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" you're basically telling it to flash the recovery and it not knowing what is the recovery is why it's not working. Also, for the PWR Button + UP just keep pressing it, what I do is hold the power button and then press up and down till something happens. Give it a shot
Thanks playing with the button until something happens did the trick. Also for future reference formatting data after that can be fairly long

You weren't kidding about the length. Clearing cache took about 2 min. I am formatting my data now and I think it been working at it for 7 min now.
This form have had a lot of new members recently since Android has become more mainstream which means we are getting a lot more questions that have been answered multiple times. Most of the new people that come here are just looking for answers and don't spend the time to search. The best thing we can do as senior members is either tell them the answer they are looking for and showing them how to search or search for them and show them how you found the answer. That might help them in the future to not ask simple questions that have been answered before. There's no reason to be rude we were all noobs at one point. You gotta remember also a lot of the new members are younger kids and we all know how impatient younger kids are. So did give xda a good name the best thing we can do is help them out but also then find what they are looking for themselves by showing them how search works. It might take more time on our end but not much more time then berating them for not searching.
In most cases it only takes 5 or 10 seconds to answer the question anyway so you might as well just answer the question and tell them to search next time which will help them find their answer quicker. No need to be condescending.

What does this mean.i knew you.could update.a zip in recovery but.how do you flash in recovery like a boot animation for example
To use recovery to flash (another term for install) the file needs to be in zip format. Always make sure that the zip you're flashing is made for your phone and Android version. The best thing to do is make a nandroid backup, it's similar to a Windows restore point. It will save you if you flash something that doesn't work.
So do you use the update option to install the zip?
Sounds like you are referring to the stock recovery. Most zips here need to be flashed through a custom recovery like TWRP or philz.

You really need to take about 10 steps back. You've been posting in multiple threads with the same basic questions that should already be known before posting. Please start using Google (answers to all your questions can be found all over the Internet) and read, read, read. Here's the first link you should read: Understanding the Journey. Sorry, but XDA isn't about being hand-fed every answer. Thanks.
I agree with Ramer. When I first wanted to root and customize a phone I spent countless hours reading, and researching, and reading more before I even attempted anything. I then downloaded what I wanted and also what I needed to fix my phone in case something went wrong and made sure I knew how to fix it. I still do the same thing and it has been about 6 years since the first time I rooted a phone. Don't just dive in blindly, be prepared.
Ya thanks guys i have done research .i first started flashing my EVO when i started. I understand how to use google to find answers. Seems the.process is.forever changing everytime an update.comes out. Sorry im not a master developer and the thread file you.posted isint working for me. Sorry for the noob questions.i have soft bricked my phone many times and.fixed it.many times. Sorry for the noob questions. I dont have alot of time to break and fix my phone all the time i will take my questions else where for.future information thanks for all the answers. Flashing is for odin. Maybe you masters use flashing zips as lingo sorry i didnt understand that meant install from recovery through the update. I lost root with this stupid update which sucks and just.trying to figure it out. Have a great day!

Instead, you chose the Troll road and flamed the person who tried to help you ......... not a good choice.......
