I downloaded the .zip file and put in on the SD card. I turned it off, turned it on while holding vol down and it didn't install the zip from the SD. What's going on?

This is my first post,
I am brand new to Android and this is my first "smart phone".
I am an old guy, some might call 48 really old, but I am good to go.
Anyway,
I tried a few times to root my phone and install a custom rom.
I got through the root process fairly easily, but was in a constant reboot loop when trying to flash to the RvU_1.3.2.zip rom from Android central.
In a panic, feeling like I was about to brick my new phone, I read the posts on this forum and downloaded a file linked in another post called:
RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.exe
Before I went through that process, I restored the back up I made during the rooting attempts.
Like an idiot, I did NOT make a back up BEFORE I started the root process, but instead, I made a back up once the phone was (theoretically) rooted.
So, once that restore was completed, I ran the RUU_xxx file above and here is what I went through:
The first time through, it got hung up about 80 seconds into the process.
I did not panic, instead, I launched the application again, and it went through the motions and restored my Evo to a factory fresh rooted ROM as far as I can tell.
So,
If it fails the first time, DO NOT panic, DO NOT disconnect the USB cable and do NOT hit any buttons on the phone.
Just launch the app again, and go through the motions, and it WILL succeed.
I have read posts from people who have had to go through the process 4 or more times to get back to the rooted factory state.
I had to do it twice.

Sorry, I didn't realize that whoever uploaded it named it rom.zip. It needs to be named PC36IMG.zip

Bricked, Borked, and Cooked?

I would greatly appreciate any help!
Two days ago my phone was having problems updating themes. I was rooted with
Clockwork 2.5.05 for the longest time but when the update for 2.5.1 was pushed I didn't think twice and I updated. Now I couldn't restore or flash because recovery would hang at MD5 Sums. After two days of nonstop attempts and fails I decided I would just backup everything on my computer and unroot, then reroot fresh.
So I unrooted my phone and thought everything would be fine. Nope, my phone was reset back to 2.1update1. Now Unrevoked wasn't working when I tried to root.
Now I found this page
http://androidforums.com/incredible...root-your-incredible-whatever-its-status.html
and followed and did step 2. That installed succesfully, but now I couldn't find a working to the May update. Luckily I found a link on the forums here and was able to install.
This may be where I went wrong but I accidentally flashed step 5 before step 4. But either way both step 4 and 5 installed without a hitch.
Now step 6 wouldn't work. It would error out at Update 7 or something along those lines.
Now I'm stuck with a phone with the Unrevoked splash screen(I like it, I just can't take it in to a verizon store and get a new phone under warranty because clearly I was messing with it), I think 2.2, and I can't put it into USB mode though my computer recognizes it under Device Manager. It hangs whenever I try to pull down the status bar.
On top of that I can't access any wireless network, both wifi and verizons, and
i can't get passed the activation screen because of that.
Reseting from the bootloader doesn't fix it, factory reseting from recovery doesn't fix it(Verizons built in recovery, step 5 uninstalled clockwork).
I am very lost

I think I unwillingly traded one of my nine lives to the devil.
My phone, has been fixed.
By a complete blunder, or at least I think so, my phone has been corrected.
I got tired of the constant reboots and "System crashes" that would ail me before I even got to the Phone Activation screen I thought I would try and activate it even though I had a X where the reception bars are.
To my absolute astonishment after a minute or two pause my phone is dialed through and begins the *228 update!(Later today at work my friend suggested that the 228 number works like an emergency number and dials on whatever network is available.)
My phone reboots and I have access to the home screen! I still can't pull down the status bar and have X bars but this is better than nothing! Feeling headstrong I open up Revoked and try rooting
It works!...sort of
It goes through the full process and when I get to the home screen I'm on a stock 2.2 device! Oddly no root however
I boot to clockwork and install su-2.3.4-ef and payload-update.
And now it works somehow! S-on is back as well. I just got back from work and have successfully rooted! I really hope this is a Karma cash in

[Q] Semi-Borked?

Hi all, pretty much a phone noob hoping to get some help. I'm probably gonna write a book but I want to provide as much info as possible...
My D710 had been working fine running rooted GB27. I decided to flash the "Not Now" rom. Seemed simple enough and very straightforward...
After flashing I got stuck in a boot loop. Read up on how to get out of boot loop and reflashed selecting wipe and Fix Permissions.
No help, still boot loop.
Went back to recovery mode and I have stock recovery instead of AGAT. The little android dude is laying on his back with a red triangle coming out of his gut.
After ****ing around some I decided to try wipe/factory reset.
Phone booted! YAY! The Not Now rom is installed (I guess). Phone looks different but most of my apps come back and the phone works (Calls, text, apps run) It seems a little flakey though and the whole thing feels pretty sketchy given how I got here.
I decide I should really flash back to stock and then see what I want to do from there. and now the fun begins:
I can't get into Odin mode
I can't get my computer to see the phone as a storage device. The drivers load and 2 new removable drives show up but neither is accessible.
From the Shut Down menu I have an option for Boot Loader. I selected it and it looks like it's in Odin Mode but Odin doesn't see the phone.
So I have a functioning phone that seems shaky. I'd really like to load a stock ROM again and get it more stable. I'd appreciate if anyone has advice about how I can fix the USB issue (buy a new phone?)
Thanks
John

You need to check "USB Debugging" in the setting mode. I am not on TW so I can't tell you the exact spot. Once that is selected, It should be good to go. You need a custom recovery. I would suggest Philz recovery or AGATs. You will need to wipe data, cache, dalvik.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
I did manage to restore a backup so I'm back where I started (rooted GB27) prior to screwing around with Not Now.
I'm considering trying to go to Villuminati by following these steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48979264&postcount=770
I've got AGAT recovery loaded now so I think that I can skip the first couple of steps...

I don't have the specific locations, but you could do this a simpler way. You need to have these files on SD card.
1. Flash Philz recovery for D710 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652286
2. Wipe Cache, Dalvik
3. "install" new ROM.
4. Flash Gapps
You should keep Philz on your SD card. It is the easiest way to flash ANY 4.4 ROM. If you want to use the ART, go to developer options and scroll all the way down. Select ART, let the phone reboot. Once it reboots, turn it off for about 1 minute. Turn it back on. You can not use ART with Xposed. They do not like each other. DO NOT USE PHILZ TO MAKE A BACKUP!. Use the recovery that came with the ROM. Only use Philz to flash. Let me know what happens. Before you do anything, make a backup first.

Thanks. I may give this a try tonight.

Thanks for your help.
I've got Viluminati running! Amazing as I was pretty sure I had bricked my phone a few days ago

[Solved] tablet boot looping

So everything was working well no issues. The other night I am playing a game and everything seemed a bit wonky the touch screen was erratic and the graphics were stuttering so I figured I hadn't rebooted in a long time may as well. Well now the tablet just boot loops and won't come up. I tried doing a factory reset in recovery that hasn't helped. I hadn't gotten the time to try out the custom recovery so I have no backup is there any way to reload this thing from a computer or do I have a brick?
Little back ground I was rooted but no new software was installed in over 2 weeks prior and even upgrades had been at least a couple of days and then just Google stuff. No issues up till this point it was working very well. I was on Lollipop but would be happy to boot either KitKat or Lollipop at this point.
Little bit ticked off the tablet was only 6 months old never abused/dropped at all. I kept it in a sleeve when I wasn't using it and have a case as well. I don't install suspect programs at all. I use the tablet everyday for both work and personal use so I really need to get it going again if possible.

So I found this program called B2CAppSetup.exe in a post for the lg tablet 8.3 I installed it and put my tablet in download mode. It said that my tablet was up to date and that nothing needed to be done but there was an option to "update recovery" which downloaded a 1gb plus file so I assume it was the whole OS and not just the recovery. Took a while to do the reinstall but it did work, first boot took a few minutes but my tablet is running again. I will have to reset everything up again the way I had it but that is OK I had made a backup of my apps and data about 4 or 5 days before this happened so anything lost will be minimal. Hope this is helpful if this happens to someone else.

Well if I can just find out exactly what I need installed on the computer and how to enter the commands and where to enter them I'd be alright. Its been a long time since I use a computer and I'm stuck in a boot loop for no reason at all except for I rebooted and it is stuck. Can't go past fastboot or recovery or that screen with the big barcode. I did nothing that could affect the operating system and only had some very simple route adjustments made so I don't understand why it is so messed up. But hopefully someone can explain the computer part of this and I'll be straight

I just want to unroot!!!

Hey guys, im running 5.0.2 atm. i want to unroot my htc one m9 because i have no reason for it to be rooted really. i was hoping to be able to use game killer and those memory editors, but no available version for the new lollipop. so i want to unroot. I have the stock rom and adb files ready on my pc. but when i try to issue a command to my phone, it says the device is offline. and yes the pc's fingerprint is allowed. if you are going to suggest i download drivers or anything like that please link it. i have tried updating drivers and all that, says it is working properly. thanks in advance!!
EDIT: Ok as of right now, my main concern is flashing the stock rom, which i downloaded, and renamed the 0pjaimg.zip thing. I typed "fastboot flash zip 0pjaimg.zip" and it says "error can not load '0pjaimg.zip'" what do i do?

Yea I tried that, didn't work. I ended up almost having a heart attack haha. I went to wipe but accidentally wiped everything on my phone, my data , the root, and even the OS. I was stuck in download mode and boot loader, could not boot into recovery. And I was stupid enough to not have a backup. I ended up reflashing a ruu (thru my PC with a ruu utility) several times and it finally worked. My phone now is unrooted and I removed the boot loader. I achieved by beginning goal with a big hiccup before hand haha. I will now make a back up of my phone today lol. And I had titanium backup up, but it said I didn't have root access(when my device was rooted) so I figured if half the root perks weren't working, I'll just unroot, which I am happy I did. Don't have to worry about harming my device anymore. Game killer and all those memory editors didn't work anyway so root was useless to me

When I unrooted using SuperSu it ruined my installation also. I was stuck in a bootloop until I installed TWRP and reinstalled SuperSu, terrible!!! It eventually unrooted and I relocked bootloader but nothing worked so I was forced to root and unlock bootloader again.
I am wondering though, how did you return to stock? I really want the latest AT&T stock but when I install that RUU .exe it gives me error 155 so I can't install it. I was using 1.32 stock AT&T and wanted to install 2.6 (I think that's what it is, it's Android 5.1).
I am S-On, and not S-off, could that be an issue? Bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted now.

You know how u r supposed to rename the ruu u want to flash (assuming you downloaded the stock ruu for your carrier and device). The problem for me was, I could never connect my device thought adb after I rooted it (fast boot worked when I put it in fastboot). Even when I could give a command , it could never load the ruu. So what I did, was right click the ruu and click run as admin. It should open up a page on the top saying something about a ruu/rom utility. Make sure you device is connected and had usb debugging( before you got stuck in the loop hopefully). Now click accept and all that good stuff on the utility, it should scan your phone and show u your current rom image, and then show you the latest rom image. Click update and it will boot your phone to boot loader and begin sending it to your phone. IMPORTANT: DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE. Now here's the catch, if it said it failed or something about a USB error, close the program and start it up again. If your phone is stuck without the download bar moving(displayed on your phone), you are going to have to hard reset it. Google how to do it for your device (just a button holding combination). And start the program again. It will take a couple times for the program to work (mine took about 5-6 times). But it will work sooner or later. I am not home atm, but when I get home, I will find the link to the page where this info is displayed in a more orderly fashion and with pictures. It will be tonight, probably about 9 hours. Try this though, if it is too confusing, wait till I post the link. Good Luck!!
EDIT: Sorry just got back home from a long day haha, I'll be sure to look for the link tomorrow. But my directions above should be good, give it a try.
