This sort of happened to me before. try downloading and installing the file attached. It should do the trick. N.B- You need to have root access.

ok thanks. I have root access (i think, fairly new to all this, apologies).
How do I run the file??
Thanks.
sorry to be a pain

Boot your phone (make sure the file is on your phone), then simply select the file and follow the onscreen instructions. After that, select it's icon in the menu and choose to allow it to automatically operate when USB is connected. Then just allow root access and you're good to go. Try your rom flashing again and it should be successful.

hey
thanks for your help, but I currently have no ROM / OS installed on the phone, so can only boot into recovery / fastboot etc.
not into android os.

Since you can boot into recovery and access your phone from your computer, then just flash the stock windows mobile rom to your phone. I think that would work and it does make sense. If it does work then you can continue doing what you want after you have done it.

Do you mean flash it via fastboot? I'm sturuggling to get files across from my pc... sorry to be a pain...
I can access the SD card to drag files in recovery. but cant isntall from the sd on my phone.
tried flashing files direct to phone with fastboot but coundt. probably just got it wrong. gahhh.

Have you tried a different SD Card or a sdhc card? One of them might help.

I haven't tried another card yet no.
I need to purchase one first, hopefully will get chance this week.
Any links to best guide to make a goldcard btw?
Thanks.

Forgot to delete PG58IMG.zip & need help!

I forgot to delete the PG58IMG.zip & my device when entering recovery wants to update that zip file & I can't choose the recovery option. My device will not go past the HTC screen. I have ADB installed, how can I get into recovery again & re-flash a rom? I'm a newbie so please forgive me if this is already posted somewhere, I did search but I'm freaking out a little about the current state of my phone! Thanks for your help!

if you can still use the phone i'd go in and use the phone in usb storage mode and delete the file from the root directory

I can't get past the white HTC screen. I can get into recovery but it tries to install the PG58IMG.zip before I can key down to the recovery option.

Pretty simple, remove your memory card and boot your phone.
Or use a card reader to remove the file.
Cheers.

or do what he said lol

I just realized that but when trying to to read the card on my PC it ask to format? Won't that delete the files I need? I can get into recovery when taking the SD Card out but it needs the files to flash. Any help? Should I do a data/factory reset?

Hi,
No need to format.
Just delete the PG58IMG.zip.

I will not show me the files on the SD Card! It's asking me to format to use?
*FIXED* Thanks for all your help & not being a jerk about it!

remove sd card and try mounting it to another phone.
it's what i did...

Fixed Hard Brick But No Recovery or Download mode

I posted this in the stickied thread, but I'm kind of in a hurry to receive a fix. After fixing my bricked phone it won't enter recovery mode or download mode. It's also having connection issues with Odin, even though it says the device is connected.
I followed this guide to fix it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50128942
The original brick was caused by installing and using EZ Unlock 1.2 before checking all the facts. I didn't know about the bootloader on the 4.3 at the time. I'm just going to copy and paste what I already wrote in the other thread.
I'm having a few problems still. My phone is up and running and it's rooted using saferoot. Which is all good, but now I can't get into recovery mode or download mode. They both start up. When I enter recovery mode I get the blue text in the top left hand corner, but then the phone just starts up like normal. When I enter download mode the screen flashes the screen for a second before turning off and starting the phone normally.
Also, when I connect my phone to the computer everything works like it should, but when I enter Odin while it says it adds my device when I try to install the stock rom it never connects to the phone and installs it. It just hangs there waiting for the connection.
I have a question about restoring the bootloader and recovery image as well. I downloaded the debrick file and it shows up with the bin extension, but for some reason it wants to use VLC media player to open it. I wrote it to the 16 GB card and it shows up on the card as a folder called "image" with lots of files in it. Nevertheless it worked and my phone booted up.
Then I follow the directions, as best as I can with my inept knowledge of all this. I put the stock bootloader and recovery image on the card (not at the same time) and then put the code in using Terminal Emulator. Here's where I'm confused though.
The first time I moved the debrick folder and the recovery image manually to the phone storage and then entered the codes. Again, one at a time.
The second time I put the files on the external 16 GB card and left them there. Then I put in the codes and then I plugged the phone back into the computer and deleted the originals on the external card.
Either way the phone works. Mostly. I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong and that's why recovery and download mode won't work.
The instructions also say to keep the debrick.bin file on the external card. Do I keep the actual image folder on the card or the file as it was downloaded? Because even after I deleted the debricked image folder off the card it says there isn't any room on there for the file. I formatted the card at a point but when I put it back in the phone it was bricked again.
I hope someone can help me with this. I'd really appreciate it!

Try to use Odin to flash a full stock 4.3 rom again with PIT file. This should reinstall the stock recover. Pit file can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319

Thank you for your help!
I tried your suggestion twice but it wouldn't work. It still gets stuck at SetupConnection.

You have multiple issues going on here.
First thing you should do is make sure your drivers are up to date and you're using a good cable and USB port on your computer. That may fix your issue with it not being recognized, all of those can cause problems.
To clarify your issue with the hardbrick restore method, it's working like it should. It's being recognized as a vlc media file because vlc is set to detect .bin files and this has nothing to do with the function of the file. The debrick image is an actual image that is written by win32, and it's designed to make the phone work around the initial bootloader problem and boot from that source. Since the boot image is now on your external SD card, as soon as you take it out your phone can't boot anymore. This is why it's a much larger file structure than just the .bin file. This may be the issue with your phone. Now on to your other issue.
In that guide there is a section to rewrite the image to your internal card with terminal emulator underneath the initial post. If you do that you wouldn't need the external SD card, and it may fix your connection issue with Odin.

Thank you for your help.
The drivers are new, but I could try re-installing them. It comes up fine on the computer though, just not in Odin.
I did move both files to the internal card and removed them from the external SD card already. I think it worked since the phone starts up, it just won't let me into either mode. Could I have caused all this when I moved them?

No it wouldn't, if you can get it to boot you should be good.
Not sure why you aren't able to get into download mode.

Oy. I don't know what to do. Is there another way to get into download or recovery mode beside the three button method?
Last night I used Titanium Backup to wipe user and system apps and cleared the cache, but it didn't help. I guess I'm going to try a factory reset through the settings menu. Hopefully that will do something?

You can download terminal emulator and type in this code to boot, I think you have to be rooted.

[Q] Can't flash from SD Card

Good evening, XDA :cyclops:
I am having issues flashing from recovery!
Some device info: Motorola Xoom WiFi, fully stock and fully updated, unrooted, bootloader unlocked today, device wiped multiple times. This is my first day trying anything custom on this device.
I decided today that i wanted to go custom on my Xoom today and update it to KitKat via this method.
I have downloaded all the required files per the mentioned guide. While in recovery i go to apply update from USB drive, but it is not finding any of the downloaded files from the guide.
What I see is
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
Choose a package to install:
/sdcard
../
The ../ is my only option to click and it obviously returns me to the main recovery menu.
All the zip files are on the root of the SD card, not in sub folders. I have confirmed via PC and another phone that the files are indeed there. I tried with a different, fresh, formatted (fat32) SD card, but I'm getting the same results.
The Xoom is indeed reading the SD card, confirmed via settings>storage.
I've tried using adb, but it's telling me the image isn't correct, but it's certainly possible I'm missing a step with adb.
Code:
C:\Xoom bootloader unlocker2>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Xoom bootloader unlocker2>fastboot flash R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip
unknown partition 'R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip'
Yes, the zip is in that folder. I thought maybe I'd root first, so I tried that method with the root zip, but I'm getting the same error.
Is there something I can do to repartition this device and get it rommed, or am I doomed to use it stock?
Thank you for your time!

I found some information stating that I need to enable the SD card, but since I'm running up to date SW, and I can see the SD card from settings, I'm assuming that this isn't the case, correct?

I'm still stuck. Anyone around who could give me some advice?

It appears the XOOM does not like SD Cards that were formatted using Windows
(or perhaps Quick Formatted using Windows).
Using a 4GB FlashDrive formatted as Fat32 using Linux (i.e. Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64 bit boot CD)
resolved the issue.

Huawei Y530 hard reset fail

Hello folks, my roommate recently tryed to hard reset his Huawei Y530 but since he has a bad battery, the phone turned off in the middle of the process. When he turned it on there was a message:
Recovery image verify failed, please update to the authorized images
Well, i downloaded the stock firmware image onto the SD card and starter the recovery process, but it gets stuck on FORMATING/DATA. I left it there for 12 hour and nothing happened. When i aborted it, the same stupid message comes back:
Recovery image verify failed, please update to the authorized images
Any body have an idea? Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards

Did some research and found this, hope it works:
1.Extract and copy dload Folder into root of SD card.
2. Power off mobile and insert SD Card and press and hold Vol+ and Vol- and Power on.
3. wait for update complete.
4. Enjoy.
5. Thanks Button. ?

That doesnt work, already tryed that, if the image is in the dload folder, the phone doesnt even see it.

Maybe your download is corrupt try downloading another file.

Nope, it only starts without the dload folder, but eventually gets stuck on formating/data
