[Q] Rooted Desire stuck between ROMs!!! HELP!!!

Hi guys, I've had my Desire rooted for around 2 months and have used loads of
ROMs/Mods etc. It's fair to say I know the procedure. At the moment though I'm
puzzled and worried because I have lost my previous ROM and can't get a new one
on!
I was flashing a new version of Pinky Desire over the previous one (without wiping)
and it never got to the reboot screen. So I took out the battery and put it back in
to reboot it. It got to the custom boot screen and no further so I then booted into
recovery and wiped data and cache and re-flashed the ROM, but the result was
the same...
So I tried this a couple more times until suddenly the recovery-windows.bat file
would no longer put me into a recovery menu. I've tried everything I can think of
(using my original Goldcard etc) but nothing is fixing it- it's like I've lost root access.
How can I make my phone useable again? PLEASE HELP!!!
EDIT: In case it makes a difference I did delete what I thought were some old .zips from my SD shortly before this.

Install an official RUU, then re-root it? I guess some of the pro's got some better answers though

Download the ClockworkMod recovery, rename it in update.zip, put it in the sd, enter recovery, when you get the red triangle press vol up+power, select to flash update.zip.

Yep, flash an ruu, then re-root, only this time use unrEVOked and for future when flashing roms use the newer recoveries like clockworkmod or amonra.
The old recoverywindows.bat file leaves you at risk of the usb brick. You may well already have that now if you pulled the battery mid flash.

Thanks all. Haven't had a chance to do this yet but will. I did manage to flash an update.zip but it won't detect the sd. will try with clockwork mod.

Tried this but all I'm getting is cannot find directory. It retries about 12 times then
reboots. Just won't work.

When trying to flash an RUU it comes up with 'Error 170: USB connection error'.
This is weird because the device's bootloader recognises that there's a usb
connection. Any ideas?
EDIT: Seems like the phone in it's current state simply can't mount an sd card.
Gotta try some alternative methods for getting the RUU to run...

I've two SDs and neither is working though so...

two things
the windows unlockerthing.bat was only supposed to be run one time, after that you could access the menu pressing vol up and power...
Why would you pull the batt on a Flash??

Pulled the battery because the device said flash completed but didn't do anything for over 5 mins. Won't make that mistake again. I've actually bricked the USB so this thread is a little pointless now
Oh and I did fix the SD issue

Starting 3 threads on the same subject won't help, and is quite annoying.
Keeping everything in one thread will help people to help you.

Can You reach The recovery?
From there go to installation zip and install a new ROM (previously downloaded an copied to the root of your SD)
From recovery usually you can activate SD card for transfering files from the pc.If not, insert the SD on the pc in order to copy the rom.
Dont forget to swipe all from recovery before that and i Hope that you already made a backup of everything with titanium

If you can't enter The recovery i don't know how you can flash a new rom.
Maybe you can describe one by one all the steps you made in order to understand where is the problem.

1. Goto http://unrevoked.com and download the software
2. You now have a choice of recovery, Amon RA has released an SLCD version of his recovery, which in my opinion is much better, it has a few more features than Clockwork. I recommend Amon RA, but the choice is yours.
Amon RA Recovery v1.7.0.1 R5 SLCD: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4481275/recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5-SLCD.img
Clockwork v2.5.0.7 SLCD:http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip
3. Go to HBOOT, this is done by shutting down your phone and powering on the device while holding the Power button down and pushing Volume down at the same time, once HBOOT is loaded do a wipe (Clear Storage). You can navigate the menus by using the volume rocker and the Power button to select your option.
4. Load Unrevoked and load the custom SLCD recovery file on your PC:
Goto File>Custom Recovery and point it to the recovery image that you downloaded in step 2.
5. Restart your phone, it will take a few minutes because you did a wipe, just wait it will load (up to 5 minutes). As soon as the welcome screen loads plug your phone in to the PC and Unrevoked should do it's thing. If Unrevoked doesn't start, then hit the Menu button go to Settings --> Applications --> Development and enable USB debugging.
6. The phone will restart a couple of times, and will look like it's hanging on the HTC screen but it's not! If the HTC screen is present for more than 5 minutes pull your battery and start again ( I had to do this a couple times myself). If Unrevoked pauses half way through its process, it could be because for some reason you don't have the proper drivers installed. You can load them as Unrevoked does the root process, while the phone is rebooting if Unrevoked pauses and Windows prompts you for a driver point it to the C:\android\tools directory and it will load the drivers and Unrevoked will continue its root process.
7. When Unrevoked is finished you will be left at the recovery screen,
8. *** VERY IMPORTANT*** Before restarting do a "wipe cache partition", "factory reset". And now would be a good time for a Nandroid Backup
9. Now reboot, and Android should load. Check for Superuser Permissions app, if you see it you're good if not restart from step
I followed these instructions i did got superuser on my phone but when I installed busybox and titanium backup it said its not rooted and I installed rom manager from market and try load my leedroid from SD card and it reboot the phone and that was it. I can go to HBOOT but when I pick recovery it turns off the phone or maybe it just blackscreen. My phone did work till I installed the ROM manager from market and messed it up. And thank you soo much for your replys

So You have amon ra?
Go to recovery And make wipe of everything except battery.
Then, put the battery out from The Desire.
Put it back, enter The recovery again and allow SD card (i dont remember now exactly The name of the option) After conecting the Desire to the pc.
Transfer From The pc The new rom.
If you dont have one, look for Modaco custom r9 for Desire, because it is very close to the stock rom. In order to get it you will have to pay but it's worth the price and in the future you Will have full access to new custom ROMS!
Then go (in recovery of amon ra) to flash zip And flash the new rom.

Sorry is recovery when using press volume down and power?

Ya I do have amon ra

And when I go press down volume and power and plug USB to computer my computer doesn't find it. It doesn't show up but it does show on phone USB is plugged

Ok,You press down volume. Now choose 2nd option (recovery) by moving vol down and when in recovery option press power to select.
Desire reboots and enters in amon ra recovery.
From the options choose usb-ms toggle and connect the Desire to the pc. Rest of the steps as explained.

But when I choose recovery the screen goes dark or turns off not sure which 1. When I connect the USB only phone says HBOOT USB plugged nothing on computer

is" your" desire branded? e.g orange, telus
have you tried installing an official ruu preferably a wwe version?

If you enter the recovery and the screen swich off...i can't help you. I don't know how to bypass that issue!
I'm sorry

[Q] N5110 Note 8, is this "bricked"?

Hello,
I hope someone can help me. I'm not completely ignorant when it comes to rooting and flashing custom roms, but it's been a while since the last time I did (last time was my Samsung Galaxy S2). Today I decided I was going to root my N5110 Note 8 and install a 4.4.2 rom on it.
I decided I was going to install the Omni Rom linked here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569099
I apologize in advance for the long descriptions below.
Here are the steps and issues in the order that it happened:
1) Flashed CF-Auto-Root-konawifi-konawifixx-gtn5110 using Odin (Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time)
2) Downloaded Rom Manager App, and booted into Recovery from there.
3) Using CWM Recovery, I followed instructions as described on the Omni link and did a Wipe/Factory Reset
4) Using CWM Recovery, I selected to install zip from SDCard, and selected the omni-4.4.2-20140102-n5110-HOMEMADE.zip
5) After a few seconds, I got an error 7, and the installation aborted.
6) Tried to reboot back to the system, but of course now that everything is wiped, it just loops back to recovery.
7) I tried installing the zip again, same error. I checked the thread and someone mentioned the same error. OP mentioned using TWRP, so I went back into Download mode and flashed TWRP via Odin
8) After reboot, it went into TWRP. Tried installing zip again, same error. I decided I'll pick up another rom to try first. So, I took out my microSD card so that I can load the ROM over to it.
9) Booted back into TWRP - it no longer sees my SD card. Tried to power down from recovery menus in hopes to get it to see the sd card. No luck
10) I'm desperate now--I am trying to force it off by holding down the power button. It reboots back into recovery. I even try to get it back to download mode so I can flash CWM back on, in hopes that it will let me retry. But now it just shows the battery screen (like when you're charging it while powered off) at empty. I unplug the USB cable, the screen turns off.
11) I try to power it back on without the USB cable plugged in, nothing happens.
12) I plug the USB power back in, and it looks like it's booting up. It goes to the Samsung Note 8.0 N5110 screen and just flickers. The flickering increases in speed over time.
13) I force it back into Download mode, and try to run the CF Auto-Root again (like I said I'm desperate now).
14) After Odin reboots the device, it goes into the battery screen and is doing the weird flickering thing again.
I'm currently attempting to download XXCMH3_stock-rooted-official.zip in hopes to flash via Odin, but the d/l keeps timing out before the whole thing can be transferred.
Someone, please help! What am I doing wrong?

Hi, just so you know... you do not need to root a stock ROM to flash a custom ROM... I am surprised that you think that is necessary
Did you ever set USB debugging to enabled?
Also what Odin do you have?
Turn off note, remove SD, and see if you can start in Stock download mode.
Flash with Odin 3.07... repeat flash with Odin 3.07 and use N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5 from http://samsungis.com/
Here is a copy of a reply on a thread it may help if you cannot perform the simple task of reflashing stock ROM from my small list of steps.
Harjan112 said:
Have you tried to flash with Re-Partition checked in Odin 3.07? It looks like your partions are messed up, if it was me I would just give it a try "flashing with re-partition checked" seeing as though its not working anyway.
If that don't work see if you can get a PIT file somewhere, I did read someone put up a link for a PIT file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544451 although I am NOT 100% sure if this is for the GT-N5110 but read thru it and if you feel adventurous give that PIT file a try.
And here is a link http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/Galaxy+Note+8/XXCMG2/ that someone put up with a leaked firmware and the PIT file and CODE file for the N5110 you can give that a try also.
- Unzip the file
- Open Odin 3.07 (already included in the firmware package)
- Restart phone in download mode
(Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add CODE_N5110XXCMG2_1031850_REV01_user_low_ship.tar to CODE
- Add CSC_OXA_N5110OXACMG2_1031850_REV01_user_mid_noship .tar to CSC
- Add kona_wifi.pit to PIT
- Make sure re-partition is ticked
- Start flash, sit back and wait a few minutes.
- If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)
- Boot into recovery mode (Home+ Power + Volume Up)
- Choose to wipe/factory reset.
(THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
- Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!

GT-N5110 & GT-N5120 - 64GB 633x on board, Status Official on SafeRooted OEM ROMs with Wanam Xposed and RootCloak. The only way to fly 8+ hours!
This badboy don't play with Play & Triangle away!

In TWRP v2.6.3.0 look under mount and see if Micro Sdcard has an "x" if there is no "x" check this and go back to the screen where is says reboot ... reboot recovery from there, once rebooted in recovery go to install and in the top (if you are on v2.6.3.0) you should see storage, tap that and you should have a choice from internal storage and Micro SDcard, if you see Micro SDcard there you should select that and hit ok.
Hoping this helps.

My apologies. I didn't see any of the replies since my email subscription went to my spam folder.
Thank you for those of you who took the time to try and help me.
I know I didn't have to flash stock, but it was more of me being desperate and just trying to put ANY rom on to get it to turn on.
By some weird luck, I had got my tablet working the next day. Basically, in defeat, I just let it sit on the charger overnight thinking a full tank of gas would help it. The next morning, I seriously just pressed all the button combinations and managed to get it to go into recovery and see my SD. I tried yet again to install the Omni Rom again but no dice. It gave me an error again.
So I tried to install a rom again, this time the PAC-rom.
It worked!
Tablet is functional again!
So thank all of you and the electronics god for the miracle!
Have a great weekend you fine folks!

[Q] Failed to flash ROM, SGW doesn't boot

Hi everybody,
sorry for bothering you, but I think I might need some help.
I tried to flash ParanoidAndroid (first try ever to flash a smartphone) but failed 'somehow'.
Initial steps to create the problem
Initial Status: Gingerbread on a Galaxy W; Pretty old and pretty messed up
Download the update.zip to root the smartphone => Becoming root worked!
Download ParanoidAndroid
Download Clockwork Recovery
Created backups using Titanium Backup as root.
Copied ParanoidAndroid to the GalaxyWs internal sd card (yes, this was my mistake)
Wipe cach partition => It said, it worked, I don't know if it did
Rebooted phone => all fine
Rebooted into recovery mode applied update from SD-Card=> Selected ParanoidAndroid.zip => ErrorMessage (I think it was something like file corrupt, sorry I'm not sure about the specific words, but it sounded like this is no updatefile or this file is not a valid zip file.
Status of the problem
Bootup shows Samsung Logo
Bootup than shows GalaxyW-Screen Logo
Bootup than shows the android recovery symbol OR directly reboots
When trying to open the recovery menu, every second time I get the message "Updating (...) Installing MultiCSC... Can't access /system/csc/DBT/system"
If opening recovery menu works, I can only acces the internal storage of the galaxy to install an update (tried the paranoidandroid several times, it doesn't work)
When plugging in the galaxy w to my USB port, I don't get an USB storage shown on my 2 laptops (1 "Windows 7", 1 "Ubuntu 14.0?" )
neither odin (4.43) nor Heimdall are able to flash any files.
So, simple question, what can I do next?
-I cannot copy clockworkmod to my smartphone
-I don't know if I can easily overwrite the kernel or the bootloader.
I searched the forum but didn't find a clear solution, so sorry if this special configuration was already asked.
Thanks for your help and best regards

Your ROM's download has been cut either by a connection issue or by you, That is why I always have a backup rom in my SD Card. Also For kitkat, make sure you got CWM 6.0.4.5 or higher. Personally i use PhilZ Touch Recovery. It is simple enough for me. And odin recognizes your phone only in download mode. So make sure you go to download mode then plug the phone in. And also make sure while working with odin, unplug all USBs and other phones

Hey MayB4ck,
thank you for the tips, I finally got it running Using Philz Touch Recovery. Works like hell
Best regards

you may want to flash your phone back. so this consist of
1) read up how to access to Temp CWM
2) download and transfer the full rom to your SD card
3) do a wipe all partition and go to advanced setting, wipe cache
4) install zip and choose from external SD, point to that .zip file for the full rom and apply.
5) installation may take 10min or so do not switch it off. after installation you are good as new.
I believe this should solve your problem, normal if things get bricked is due to config file error could be [syntax, corrupted, missing, setting].
Flashing should solve mostly of it unless the file that you previously accessed require root and cwm does not give permission to the file. that is a permanent bricking.
As always, newbie should not try tweaking permission required files, you end up having bricking the device as there might be no solution to recover it due to access rights. ALWAYS have a back up file so you can at least copy the file back and chmod it.

my problem right now is my pc wont detect my phone. Ive already installed the drivers.

Same thing happened to me when I tried flashing the OTA update with my phone being rooted. You have get into recovery mode on the phone and then use ADB to put the original image back to the device to get it back to stock so it will reboot. It worked for me

here is the stock firmware.
https://www.asus.com/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
its fine if your phone does not talk to your PC now. copy the firmware to your SD card via other means. [card reader etc]
then try my method of flashing it back to original state, you stated that adb dont work, have you tried the temp CWM method yet?
the main goal is to wipe dalvik cache under advanced menu in CWM, and cache partition and all hard reset.
then you flash back your original file.
hope it works for you.

ive read about the temp cmw method and i cant figure out how to go about it. it says on the instruction that you need to turn on phone before running the cai_dat_CWM. how am i going to do this as my phone will only boot to the asus logo? thanks

just figured it out. I need to boot in fastboot so the phone will get recognized. However, the latest build available on the asus website is still 2.17.40.12. I already have the 2.18.40.12 version. The 2.17 firmware can't overwrite the newer build in temp CWM recovery. Anybody knows where i can download the full rom? Z00A-WW-2.18.40.12?

you may want to flash your phone back. so this consist of
1) read up how to access to Temp CWM
2) download and transfer the full rom to your SD card
3) do a wipe all partition and go to advanced setting, wipe cache
4) install zip and choose from external SD, point to that .zip file for the full rom and apply.
5) installation may take 10min or so do not switch it off. after installation you are good as new.
I believe this should solve your problem, normal if things get bricked is due to config file error could be [syntax, corrupted, missing, setting].
Flashing should solve mostly of it unless the file that you previously accessed require root and cwm does not give permission to the file. that is a permanent bricking.
As always, newbie should not try tweaking permission required files, you end up having bricking the device as there might be no solution to recover it due to access rights. ALWAYS have a back up file so you can at least copy the file back and chmod it.

Same thing happened to me when I tried flashing the OTA update with my phone being rooted. You have get into recovery mode on the phone and then use ADB to put the original image back to the device to get it back to stock so it will reboot. It worked for me

I already tried it like 20 or more times. The ASUS logo still shown for like 10 seconds and died and came back again (ASUS logo). When I tried to connect it with my laptop, the computer won't recognize the device.

I will try to tell you step by step:
1. Press Power Button + Volume Button
You enter into Recovery Fastboot Option, then Choose Recovery menu using Volume Key (3 Option mostly shown)
then press Power Button (From Recovery Mode), it restart.
2. Then after Restart it shows you (Mostly) Sleeping Android Screen with Error text, then Press First Volume Up Button, and Press Power Button (Power button for a second or two then leave it, IF YOU PRESS MORE TIME, IT WILL RESTART THE PHONE).
3. You can now see the Recovery Menu with Normally appear in other phones also - Reset, Restart, Etc Option.
Hope you will now able to reset your phone...
