Hi guys, I hope you can help me.
I have just rooted + flashed my motorola defy plus for the first time (on any device for that matter)
I installed 2nd init, version 0.6.... or something.
Put a rom, kernel and google apps on my sd-card
Then I turned usb-debugging off and rebooted my phone.
Now I can get into bootmenu, and this is what I do:
1) go to recovery
2) select custom recovery
3) then it says: Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.1.8
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
4) I then select wipe data/factory reset
5) then it says this: Formatting DATA
Formatting CACHE
FORMATTING SDEXT
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Formatting SDCARD:/.android_secure
Data wipe complete
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
6) After that i select install zip from sdcard
7) then I select choose zip from sdcard
8) then I select the zip file containing the rom
9) And it says: Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
E: Can't make /tmp/update_binary
Installation aborted
Now I can't go any further and can't use my phone at all
I hope u guys can help me, and that I haven't F*ed up my phone
what happen if you restart the phone ?
It goes right into bootmenu.
I have however found out how tog et my phone running normal again, I had to select Boot instead of Recovery and the choose Boot Normal.
I do however still want to flash CM9 onto my device but gonna ask here until i'm 100% sure it'll work.
So if you or any1 here got the links to the correct stuff I need, that would be very helpful
may be the sd card
try a different sd card it happen some times
when you restart the phone and you see the blue light, hit the VOL - button.
here choose boot option
select Set Default - and choose [2nd -Init]
restart the phone again.
one more question : what was the last ROM you flashed ?
This was the first time I flashed a ROM (or tried to)
I think the wrong one, can't post links just yet
Ok so I tried it again, and IT WORKED
Now theres a new problem: I get no reception, not for calling, and not for 3g connection.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
At the lockscreen it says Emergency calls only.
I have tried several basebans switchers, but none with any succes.
(I live in Belgium by the way)

Do you have any APN's ?
Go to setting, wifi&networks, then check if you have and APN's in the access point names menu. If you dont you will have to look up an APN for your provider. I had this problem after flashing 2.2.1 sbf.

I tried to add one, but I can't probably because I dont have any service.
That is my main problem, I dont get service so I can't even make phonecalls and stuff

this is a base band switcher
go to recovery and install the zip
when u restar the phone your should see a baseband swhitcher program
now select the baseband in your country and restart the phone
and thats it !
I tried almost every baseband, still no luck
Can't I just go back to stock? My pc also doens't recognise my defy anymore, so I can't put anything on the SD-card
I didn,t solve the problem that you said in the first post here and in Q&A section, can you detail how you had solved?
Thanks.

What I think did the trick was:
When I installed sndInit for the first time I chose to install the upper version (0,6...).
When I installed it for a second time I chose the version below that (1,....)
Hope this helps for you.
PS: I flashed another ROM and kernel, and now I have android 4 installed with signal/reception
Thanks for helping me guys!

Ok, where to begin:
I Rooted this weekend and have been installing a few roms, all has been fine. This afternoon I tried to partition a fresh SDcard using the windows-recover.bat method to allow apps2sd and that (I believe) is where it all went wrong.
When I rebooted the phone it went into a boot loop, never getting past the HTC logo.
So I factory reset from the HBOOT menu and it still looped, until I put a new SD card in - then it loads ok (I'm using Defrost 2.41d) but after the initial set up it says emergency calls only - I manually select Orange (the phone is a factory unbranded/unlocked CPW handset) - it says it's not allowed to connect - won't connect using my T-Mobile sim either.
It also says the SDcard isn't mounted no matter what SDcard I try (tried 4x).
I've tried booting into recovery and installing a zip from the SDcard so try and install a new ROM and it fails saying unable to mount SDcard.
I have also done a cache wipe, and basically any other option that sounds like a wipe type option from within the Recovery menu on HBOOT/Clockword MOD.
I'm lost, if I can't access the SDcard in any way then I'm screwed and can't reflash.
Any ideas gratefully received...
have you tried pushing a rom to the phone from your computer? or unrooting with an official HTC RUU ROM and starting again?
also search the "USB bricked" stuff on the desire android development forum...
Thanks for the advice
I'm trying to push a std Official ROM but the PC just doesn't see there is a phone attached when the phone is in normal use mode, it starts to see it in HBOOT mode but then says the driver has failed etc.
Someone elsewhere has mentioned the USB brick possibility but from what little I've read it requies SDcard functionality and my phone just doesn't see ANY SDcard - even in HBOOT / Clockword MOD recovery mode.
any feedback?
could you solve the problem?
Hi guys,
got problems with cm7
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 1 - copy update.zip and GAPPS ADDON to sdcard
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)
ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)
ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE
step 3
- when phone is booting (FreeXperia Logo) press volume down key several times to enter recovery
- choose apply update from sdcard and select rom
- choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS
- wipe device
- reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
have i to unpack GAPPS ADDON file o just put it into sd card as it is?
on recovery i can find a list of "no" and just update.zip (that i guess is the ROM, isn't it?). nothing more, no GAPPS. any ideas on what i'm doing wrong? thanks

You need to copy both .zip files to the SD card (CM7 and gapps) and flash them in recovery. Do not unpack any of the files, unless you want to make modifications to them.
In recovery, choose "install zip from SD card" option, select the CM7 file first, wait for the flash to complete, then go to "install zip..." again, and select the gapps file.
Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (this last one is under the "advanced" menu in recovery), then reboot.
Better to do all this with full battery, to avoid drain issues.
The screen is like this
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip
-No
-No
-No
i had to rename update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG-signed.zip as update.zip and works, but grapps misses.
have i to rename the file gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip? if yes, how?
thanks for helping me

Windmobile LG Optimus 2x
I am trying to upgrade my Windmobile LG Optimus 2x. So I rooted the phone. Then I used ROM Manager from ClockworkMod. I chose the option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and then I have a problem: the phone keeps rebooting. Eventually I removed the battery and tried turning on again and it booted. It went back to the way it was when I bought the phone. All applications were gone. I tried one more time and same thing happened.

It's best to get help from the appropriate forum (i.e. LG Optimus 2x) http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1000
Hey, My phone was working fine till yesterday. N when i tried to flash dk froyo .i had to change the kernel and i guess the bootscreen(htc logo) freezed because of that. I tried flashing hcdr and other kernels and even changed rom back to cm 7.But nothing seems to help.Only cwm is working on my phone. CAn someone help me please
btw its a wildfire
Your best bet Is to try run a ruu as that would reset the phone back to stock, bootloader and kernal, but depending on how you s-offed you may lose the ability to root.( untill you s-off again.) Good luck
sent from my steroid powered, cyanogenmod filled wrecking machine! using xda app.
Perform a full wipe (In CWM, Select "Data Wipe / Factory Reset", then, staying in CWM, go to Mounts and Storage, Select "Format /system". After this, flash a ROM (any) and check if it boots.
Tried. Its still not working. Can any1 post a nandroid backup file of any rom for wildfire. Please. I formatted my sd card too by mistake.
and while flashing a ruu. it always shows a error E:Failure at line 65 and something. Its different everytime
Connect your Wildfire to your PC, In CWM, Go to Mounts and Storage, and Select "Mount USB Storage". This will activate Mass Storage Mode and you can access your SDCard on your PC as normal. (I don't think anyone would upload a Nandroid backup of his own, it contains personal stuff like contacts and all. But, if someone does, good for you)
i mount usb storage n then do wat..? i tried flashing every rom possible. But its still not working. Is it the kernel's problem or what??
I am pretty certain performing a full wipe (Following options in CWM - 1: Data Wipe - Factory Reset, along with 2: Wipe Cache Partition, 3: Format /cache, 4: Format /system, 5: Format /data, 6: Wipe cache partition, 7: Wipe Dalvik Cache) in CWM and flashing a fresh ROM will fix your issue, UNLESS your phone is not bricked due to bad flash, but since you already claim that you have done that, I can't help you any further on this.
EDIT - Also one more thing - When you flash the kernel / ROM, do you get a confirmation message "Installation Complete"? What is your CWM version?
Yes i do.it says installation comple and its v3.0.0.6
Sense ROM's like DK will not work on CWM versions above 2.x.x.x. Anyway, since you tried CM7 already, One last suggestion in that case would be to try flashing the RUU via the bootloader.
Steps -
1: Download the RUU you want to install
2: Extract the rom.zip from the RUU. Procedure here
3: Once you have that rom.zip, Rename it to PC49IMG.zip
4: Transfer this to the root of your SDCard (i.e. - Not in any folders / sub-folders)
5: Restart device in HBoot Mode (Press Vol Down + Power simultaneously)
6: It will scan for the file, and ask to install. Follow On-Screen instructions.
Ill give it a try.
owe you big time man..Thanx a lot..

hi guys,
today i made a huge mistake. i was trying to deinstall the cm9 by just wiping my phone. accidentaly i made a "system wipe" with my recovery. now my phone ist stuck in the "this build is for development purposes only" screen. i tried to reboot into recovery via the aio kit - error: device not found. (led not flashing, not even when i connect it to the "normal" loading adapter). i just read another thread which ended in sending the device back to htc. i wonder if there is any possibility to safe my phone from that.

Are you able to acces the Bootloader by closing the phone and restart it by keeping pressed at same time VOLUME DOWN + POWER ?
Be careful: Do NOT press volume UP!, Do not hold Volume Down for too long!
Once you are in the bootloader you should be able to:
A:Go into recovery and repair it from there in you have the ROM on your SD card.
B:If you are unable to acces recovery mode from bootloader, try to use the All In One Tool and flash the TWRP Recovery (the one in the right part of the window) also, note that there are too version, CDMA and GSM, if you have a sim card flash GSM, if you do not have a simcard use CDMA.
Let me know how it went

ok. my phone just quick restarted. it directly went back to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen. pressing volume down + power button for a few seconds doesnt work to get into bootloader. i tried it serveral times. im not even able to turn the phone off. holding the power button only wont help at all.
thanks for ur help.
edit: i feel.. pranked now it worked and i went from bootloader to recovery (twrp already installed). can u tell me what to do now? thanks a lot already
Hm,
Well since you cant remove the battery on this phone, id suggest to just let it finish with what it has left off of the battery. once it is closed try to recharge it and then try to boot in recovery, ofc you might not be able to do this today, depends how much battery you had left when the problem started, but it's a chance, also if it's rooted you bootloader will be unlocked so i doubt HTC will grant you warranty for it (not 100% about this though). let us know if you manage to do any progress with it after you manage to make it close.
cheers

i just edited my post. managed to get into recovery (twrp). what do i have to do now?
Download a new rom and transfer it to your sd card, then flash it from your recovery.
If u have the ROM in the SD card just flash it and reboot other wise as he mentioned above

Ok, last night i went to sleep.
You now need to find a way to put a ROM on your SD card. whatever ROM you choose make sure you have the correct kernel for it (in every post for ROMs you will find a download link to the correct kernel aswell).
So what you do now (after you have the ROM .zip file on your SD card and your Kernel file in your PC) is:
-Put your phone into Bootloader, Select fast boot and connect the USB cable, and make sure it tells on your phone "FASTBOOT USB"
-Then in All in One select "Flash Kernel" and browse to the correct Kernel, and flash it.
-Reboot your phone in Recovery mode, you have the option in the fastboot screen.
-In the Recovery menu select Factory Reset -> Wipe System.
-While still in recovery go to "Install update from SD card" (or something similar) and choose the ROM .zip file, wait for it to be flashed
-reboot your phone (1st boot is always a bit slower, could take up to 5 minutes).
-after you get to your main screen, reboot the phone again and flash a Google Apps (gapps) .zip file. You will find the correct version from your ROM in the official thread of the ROM. You DO NOT run a factory reset, wipe system or anything like that for flashing Gapps.
Good luck.
got my phone working again. additionally i tried to "re-stock" my phone via a ruu.exe. now i have a new problem ( -.- ;D). my phone wont connect to wlan. it always hangs on "authenticating with wifi (dont know if translated it the right way)". some has an idea how to solve that problem?
p.s. sry for answering this late. had to do a lot of stuff for my finals :/

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
