[Q] A Desire in strange condition

So, I've tried using a mod cooked by a online kitchen (cookmyrom se) and now I have a Desire in a very strange condition -
1. It has cyanogen mode, but without the Market application.
2. It has a terminal emulator.
3. It has clockworkmod, but I can't make it download the recovery thingy that actually makes it useful (even though I have both wifi and 3g, checked using the browser).
4. ADB on windows doesn't recognize the device. I updated it (last time I rooted the device was a lot of time to go).
5. The device is rooted (I managed to run terminal commands as root - su, etc).
6. Any time I try to put a Mod as update.zip it gives me an error about the signing (I tried official mods too :S).
7. Current version: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.42.00.32U_5.09.00.08
Kernel version: 2.6.34.5-cyanogenmodandroid giulio-laptop#7
HBOOT: 0.80.0000
Radio: 5.09.00.08
So , now all I want is to get some kind of control back - at the least the ability to dump a new mod. Any Desire expert can piece up the puzzle I created and help me?

1 Flash gapps
2 It should have
3 Your confusing rom manager and CWM. If you are rooted CWM should be on the phone when you manually boot in to recovery.
4 Either driver issues or adb isn't enabled on the phone.
5 Great
6 Turn of signature verification (in recovery go to install zip from sd, there is the option)
If you want to flash new rom:
Put a rom on the sd
Boot in to recovery (without rom manager)
Wipe data/factory reset and cache
Install zip from sd
Reboot recovery

First of all, thanks for helping. Unfortunately, I understood maybe half of what you wrote
1. I googled it and it seems that I still need a facility to flash stuff, which I don't have since I can't install CWM recovery.
2. I am. I have rom manager installed, but I can't flash Clockworkmod using rom manager. It says "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection (I have) and that your sd card is inserted and has enough space (inserted and has >1GB of free space)"
I don't understand what do you mean by
"If you are rooted CWM should be on the phone when you manually boot in to recovery."
I think I am rooted. As I said, I have root privileges and as I said, when I boot into recovery I only have 4 options (reboot, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition).
4. I have both drivers and newest adb. I have all development options, including debugging on the phone (this is what you meant right?) enabled. I can try reinstalling everything.
6. Again - I don't have this option.

Bump. Still no solution, and I tried every unlocker method out there. Please help.

[Help] Broken Defy

Last chance i see to save my phone is by posting here...
So, what i did:
1. Downloaded and installed ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8 (com.kb7sqi.defy.boostrap.old.apk)
2. Made a full BackUp (stored on PC and SD-Card)
3. Wipe data/factory reset + Wipe cache
4. Selected "CyanogenMod 7"-ROM for install
5. Install succeded -> chose "Reboot"
6. Defy stuck at Boot-Loop for like 30 Mins.
7. Removed battery -> held volume down + power button
8. NO ClockworkMod showed up ... instead "Android system recovery <2e>" shows up
9. Wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache doesn't do anything at all
10. only other options are "reboot system now" (, which got me stuck at Boot-Loop again) and "apply sdcard:update.zip" (where do i have to get the update.zip?)
So, i tried to connect my Defy via USB (installed Motorola Defy USB-Drivers and RSD Lite (tried 4.7+, 4.9 and 5.0). None of the RSD Lite Versions could recognize my phone while it's in "Android system recovery <2e>". So i can't "flash" a stock-rom (sbf-Files)...
I tried downloading an update.zip (CookieCutter ROM i found in another forum) and placed the file in the root-directory of my SD-Card. When i chose "apply sdcard:update.zip" i get the Errors:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
So please, i need your help... how can i save my phone and put it back into the old state? ... thanks in advance
Quick Edit:
I managed to get into "BootLoader" by holding volume up-button, but as soon as it starts it says "Battery Low - Cannot Program" and exits... i charged my defy for hours... "should" be no problem... if it even charges correctly, i don't know... if i connect it via USB to charge it, i got a white light and black screen... nothing seems to charge at all...

I think there is only one thing you can do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026

You defy is not bricked.
But in the state your device is, it cannot charge the battery.
You need to charge the battery with another phone or charger in order to flash an sbf with RSD lite.
Or you can try this hack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
It was worked form me some time ago...

Thanks for the hope, i'll try this workaround tomorrow, hope it goes well.
So when i actually get the BootLoader working my PC and therefore RSD Lite should recognize my phone and then i just can flash my device with any official .sbf and it works? And when it's flashed i can reinstall ClockworkMod and install my old backup? :X

Do not be afraid. Your Defy is not briked. What should you do after you manage to charge your phone, if your battery is to low:
1) boot it in stock recovery (Vol Down + Power); the Android with a exclamation mark will appear on the screen; you'll have to press both volume buttons (if you had froyo)/press the right lower corner on the screen(if you previously had eclair)
2) wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache
3) restart your phone in bootloader (Vol Up+ Power)
4) connect it to your pc and start RSD Lite 4.9
5) Flash the SBF with RSD Lite (choose one from this topic, maybe you can find there the version that was on your Defy before you tried to put CM7, you might find there also other useful tips)
To install CM7 you need to upgrade your software to Froyo, if you are on Eclair, then install 2nd Init v1.4.2 from this topic and then install CM7. It won't work without 2nd Init and kb7sqi recovery mod doesn't have also the 2nd Init modules. However before upgrading to CM7 you can read this topic as there you'll find all the steps required to install CM7.

You should borrow another battery or charge using desktop charger first.
Try wipe data & cache first from stock recovery. If it doesn't make any change, you can try flash with full sbf. Once had this problems too. Solved with full sbf flash + wipe data & cache.

Good News, i got it charged with the trick and successfully installed the stock ROM via RSD Lite. But now i always get "MD5 mismatch!"-Error when i want to restore my backup created with Clockworkmod :S...

Check if your folder, where the nandroid is stored, contains any spaces in the name. If so remove the spaces.

Yeah, i already did that and tried to fix it with:
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-05-23.16.30.06
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem but my phone USB-port really doesnt work.
I managed to put the orig. Froyo and changeged the bootlogo but did a mistake with erasing CWM. Now the Defy is stuck in Bootloop.
I can only reach the Bootloader and the Android Recovery System.
I need a working update.zip to flash the phone via SD-card.

Start over again follow forum rds lite sfb flash then root again

I have similar problem. I stuck in boot loop. I am able to go into stock recovery and did a data wipe & cache wipe. Still I am in boot loop. RSDlite also does not shows my phone. Tried in several PCs with different USB cable. But no luck. If there is a possibility to flash stock rom with update.zip, please help me with update.zip. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I want to put on AOKP on my Nexus..

Is there more n00b friendly instructions than this to install AOKP? Sorry I am a former Blackberry owner, I am a little nervous but I am tech savvy. I just don't want to brick my phone..
My phone is rooted.. I have the latest AOKP and gapps from the AOKP site.
1. Make sure you're on the latest CWM
2. MAKE A NANDROID
3. wipe data/factory reset in recovery
4. flash ROM
5. flash Gapps
6. reboot
=
1. I have the latest ROM manager.
2. No idea what or how to use it... (I did a full backup with Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit, good enough?)
3. Is this done in the ROM manager, I think so, or when I am in bootloader mode maybe?
4. Flashing it I assume with ROM manager, pick the zip and voila..
5. No idea about this one. With ROM manager too?
6. Dah.. I think I can handle this step..
Appreciate any help.. remember n00b, never had an android and never did anything with my BB. N00b. Thanks!

Since you are already rooted.... I'll keep it simple. You can backup your ROM in ROM manager.
Boot to CWM
Wipe data (wipes cache too)
Go to advanced, wipe Dalvik
Flash AOKP
Flash GAPPS
Reboot
Flash kernel if you are using a modified one. If you flash a kernel after you boot, just wipe dalvik.

You don't have to flash through "Rom Manager" its much easier in ClockworkMod Recovery (assuming you have it installed, check at the top of Rom Manger to see if you have the latest recovery). To get there, you just have to hold down "Power + Volume Up + Volume Down," when you're there, you can move up and down with your volume up/down buttons and press "enter" with the power button. From there you can create a backup (backup and restore --> backup), wipe data/cache/dalvik (wipe data/factory reset), and flash your Rom/Gapps (install zip from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard --> download --> find your rom/gapps). You should reboot after that, and it'll be set.

Ok that's cool..
few questions.. boot to CWM is that the recovery manager on my phone? or Do you mean select in ROM manager "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Go to advanced, wipe Dalvik, I expect that is an option when phone is booted. I don't see that in ROM manager.
Flash Kernel? Now I'm kinda confused. I thought AOKP has the kernel, am I using a modified one? Uh, I just unlocked and rooted this with GNR Toolkit nothing else.
Another question I am curious in ROM manager, where do these rom backups go? Should I not put those on my pc hd somewhere safe?

You must have flashed ClockwordMod Recovery already... at the top in the Rom Manager application where it says Flash ClockwordMod Recovery, it should have something saying "Current Recovery: 5.5.0.4" and "Latest Recovery 5.5.0.4." Make sure your current and latest match up. If they do, then you already have CWM installed. Then you can boot into it from the instructions I provided in my post above (turn off phone, hold down power + volume up + volume down).
AOKP has a kernel, you can choose to download and flash a separate kernel if you want.
The rom backups go to your virtual SD card, and will not get wiped when you do a data wipe, so they are secure (i.e. you don't have to put them on your computer if you don't want to).

anton that makes sense mostly but..
"and flash your Rom/Gapps (install zip from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard --> download --> find your rom/gapps). You should reboot after that, and it'll be set."
If I
"From there you can create a backup (backup and restore --> backup), wipe data/cache/dalvik (wipe data/factory reset)"
Wouldn't that mean there would be nothing on the SD card to flash with?

No. Wiping data/cache/dalvik does not touch SD Card contents.

Yes, CWM is the recovery. Flashing CWM only flashes it to your phone, you still have to boot into it.
Don't wipe or anything from Rom Manger, that's an option that I don't recommend. From Rom Manager you can boot to CWM, do that and do the above I posted. You should be fine.
Just remember, do a factory reset, wipe dalvik, flash new ROM, then flash GAPPS. After that you are good. First boot will take some time.

You need to format /system too. It's under Mounts and storage.

Ok this is what you need to do.
Step 1: Open ROM Manager and install CMR (first option). You need to make sure you select the correct version of your phone (verizon is CMDA all others are GSM, I think). After it is finished installing proceed to step 2.
Step 2: In ROM Manager select "Reboot into Recovery". It will reboot and you will see the Google splash screen then a black page with blue text. If you see this proceed to step 3.
Step 3: use the volume keys to navigate to the option "Backup and Restore". When you have highlighted this option use the power button to select it. You will then a select "backup". Let it do its thing (will take a few minuets). When its done it will return you to the first screen then continue to step 4.
Step 4: Select "wipe data/factory reset". You will be taken to a screen with a bunch of "no"s and one "yes" if you are sure you want to wipe then select "yes" and let it do its thing. When its done it will return you to the main menu. Proceed to step 5.
Step 5: Select "install zip from sdcard". Select "choose zip from sdcard". Browse the ROM file. Select it and you will be at the no no no... yes screen. Select "yes" and let it do its thing. When its done you will be taken to the screen that says "choose zip from sdcard". Select that option again and browse to the gapps file. Flash it like the ROM. When you are done it will take you to the "choose zip from sdcard" screen. From there select "*****Go Back*****" then Select the first option "reboot system now". Your phone will now reboot. Note that it will take a lot longer than usual.
Also note that navigating CMR is a pia because the volume keys are jumpy.
Enjoy...

1. In Rom Manager, select back up and restore. This creates an exact back up of what your phone has on it and the settings.
2. In Rom Manager, select reboot in recovery. Using the volume rocker to move to wipe/data factory reset. Select option with power button. When that is complete, select install zip from sd card. Select the AOKP Rome file and flash it. Select install rom from sd card a second time and flash the Gapps (google app pack). The reboot phone.
Wiping dalvik is little redundant IMO, most custom Roms are including scripts to wipe automatically.
Since you did a factory reset (a must when changing Roms), you will need to set your phone back up.
You will leave your back up of your sd card as this is the only way you can restore via Rom Manager.
When you flash the rom, it will come with the kernel. Some prefer different kernels and will flash those as well. I have used kernels by Heyitslou since my Incredible days and flashed his V3 defiant with AOKP. It can be found on Rootzwiki.

Ok guys, many thanks. I think I got enough info.
@mentose457 I got the ROM manager installed and under CWM recovery the current and latest do match up. Do I still need to do that?
That is what I was looking for a n00b guide. Hehehe! Thanks everyone I will study those instruction and try this out.
Appreciate your help and patience guys..

I don't see anything in ROM Manager that specifically says install CMR (first option). First option is Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it has a latest and current ...5.5.0.2
When I unlocked and rooted I had installed ROM Manager etc and I see a current and latest... they are the same... blah blah blah 5.5.0.2. Do I still need to do this step?

No, if current and latest are the same, then you're fine and you can move on to the next step.

Errm.. I used ROM Manager I selected Backup rom, i see the android guy and see files backing up. Which turns out to be the same as your step 2 and 3. LOL! hopefully multiple backups dont hurt. LOL I'm currently finishing step 3 I guess. Next is wipe etc.

No offense to guy who did rom, but a Pink unicorn with rainbow hair.... err
No offense but generally speaking a macho guy like me hopes nobody will see a pink unicorn on his android phone. Haha!

A lot of people report problems restoring Apps+Data using Titanium Backup, so I recommend only restoring the App part and not the Data part if you want to have the least amount of FCs. Unless you're restoring from market... then disregard this post. =P

[Q] CleanROM + error flashing zip = facedesking. Need help please. Info inside.

Ok so here is what I have done so far:
1.) I rooted via this method:
Step 1: Download Odin v3.07 and CF root (for non-AT&T variants, find the root file for your phone and plug that in for this CF root link. The rest of this guide should work for you). After you do that, right-click and extract the files to somewhere easily accessible (like your desktop).
Step 2: Go to Settings>Developer Options>turn developer options on>turn on USB debugging
Step 3: Make sure your phone is not connected to the computer at this point. Open up Odin, select PDA, navigate to CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
Step 4: Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button (in this case volume up)
Step 5: USB connect your phone to your computer and in Odin make sure Repartition is not checked. Leave everything else alone. Click the Start button and wait for your phone to reboot twice.​
2.) installed goomanager and ran the script that installs twrp for you and ran a recovery
3.) booted into twrp, cleared cache/d-something cache, did factory reset, and the system reset (forgot the exact name)
4.) tried to install cleanrom (had it on my internal SD card) and got the "error flashing zip" line
I've looked around reading everyone's solutions and it's come down to
a.) i need to reinstall/redownload and try again. Thing is, idk how to remove all this crap (my backup was created after doing the twrp stuff) so that I can reinstall
b.) twrp is the issue and i need to use CWM. again, not sure how to remove twrp before installing CWM and the guides that I've come across to install CWM aren't simple enough for me (im new to this)
Any insight would be great. I've been loading back into my backup trying to start over and I'm afraid if I keep messing around I will brick my phone which is why I have come to you guys. Trust me I've been looking stuff up for hours and I still can't seem to figure it out

I would do that, but it's just me.
-I would boot in recovery , wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system.
-Boot in Download mode, flash the appropriate stock rom.
-Let it boot in stock rom.
What i do to root and install twrp.
- I boot in download I run cf-Autoroot through odin, then let it boot
- I boot in downaload again and run twrp through odin again let reboot (you need the correct twrp file to flash with odin).
You now have a freshly rooted and clean install of everything. Check Md5 or redownload CleanRom.
When i install cleanrom i reboot in recovery,I wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset and system, then i install the rom and reboot to system, i never had issues doing everything this way. I believe its the correct and clean way to do.

[Q] Help needed, soft bricked i8150 Galaxy Wonder

Hey guys..
May need some help here as I've currently soft bricked my mum's device while trying to update to CM11 (2014-01-05: CM-11.0 20140105-UNOFFICIAL) from CM10 (2013-10-23: CM10 Final Release) for i8150 Samsung Galaxy Wonder. Below are the details how did I bricked it, what I've done and etc. Hope some one could help me.
What have I done to soft bricked it
Tried to update to CM11 from CM10 while still using CWM 6.0.1.2. Flashed CWM 6.0.4.5-ancora after that using ODIN but stuck at bootloop no matter what I do.
View attachment 2495891
What I've done trying to unbricked it
1. Reflashing back to stock rom (ODIN shows FAILED for some reason)
2. Reflashing between CM10 & CM11 (installing gapps for each version as well)
3. Installing different ROM version.
4. Taking the battery out for 1 whole night
5. Wiping delvick, restore factory settings / wupe user data, format data, format cache, format system, wipe cache partition
The situation now
Able to go into recovery & download mode, all buttons working
Not sure if this helps but when I try to charge the phone, the battery will show as below without any charging status. After 2 minutes the phone will be powered on automatically.
View attachment 2495890
Appreciate if someone could look into this for me as I feel really bad bricking my mum's phone leaving her phoneless to work.

Hello
I had the same problem, I reinstalled the Caribe; odin by the previous CWM, my back was v6.0.2.3 and installing the previous ROM and it worked!

Also, if you want to install new ROM, do this step :
Go to CWM
select "wipe data / factory reset"
go to "mounts & storage" and select "format /system". This is extremely important!!
under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 by mistake)
install the ROM (from the external sd)
install Gapps (from the external sd)
reboot your phone

May need some help here as I've currently soft bricked my mum's device while trying to update to CM11 (2014-01-05: CM-11.0 20140105-UNOFFICIAL) from CM10 (2013-10-23: CM10 Final Release) for i8150 Samsung Galaxy Wonder. Below are the details how did I bricked it, what I've done and etc. Hope some one could help me.
What have I done to soft bricked it
Tried to update to CM11 from CM10 while still using CWM 6.0.1.2. Flashed CWM 6.0.4.5-ancora after that using ODIN but stuck at bootloop no matter what I do.

What I've done trying to unbricked it
1. Reflashing back to stock rom (ODIN shows FAILED for some reason)
2. Reflashing between CM10 & CM11 (installing gapps for each version as well)
3. Installing different ROM version.
4. Taking the battery out for 1 whole night
5. Wiping delvick, restore factory settings / wupe user data, format data, format cache, format system, wipe cache partition
The situation now
Able to go into recovery & download mode, all buttons working
Not sure if this helps but when I try to charge the phone, the battery will show as below without any charging status. After 2 minutes the phone will be powered on automatically.

Appreciate if someone could look into this for me as I feel really bad bricking my mum's phone leaving her phoneless to work.

The important thing with the situation like this is to stay calm first Happens to me once b4, bootloop after reboot by deleting one .apk file and when i flashed stock ROM (5x i think) , i got stuck at samsung logo. Download mode only shoes the icon, no menu's and restarts after a few seconds. What I did, flash CWM 6.0.4.5 via odin. After that, reboot to CWM and did the following: credit to @arsradu
In CWM:
Select "wipe data / factory reset"
Go to "mounts & storage" and select "format /system". This is extremely important!!
Under the same menu, format /sdcard0 (be careful NOT to format /sdcard1 by mistake)
Install the ROM (from the external sd)
Install Gapps (from the external sd)
Reboot phone

Thanks for the help.
However I've done those that you've mentioned and I'm still stuck at the BootLoop. I've formatted cache, formatted data as well under "mounts & storage". Still no hope. :crying:

Thanks.. Will give it a go and see whether this works or not later tonight.. :fingers-crossed:
UPDATE: completed reflashing to stock rom already. But currently no usb ports can detect the phone. Real headache lol~

Could be as simple as trying a different USB cable....they DO wear out / become loose over time. Very common problem over on the S2 forum, and both phones have the same connector.......
This might be my S2, or it might be my W...but it's definitely CM

I've tried connecting to 3 different PCs running on both Win8 and Win7 with 4 cables, all not working somehow.

Have you disabled firewalls and/or antivirus before connection.....also ended any kies processes in task manager.....

Thanks for your reply. Yes all disabled, luckily I managed to find an old laptop running on Win7 and successfully rolled back to Touchwiz.
Now the phone boots normally but I could not re-flash it to CM10.1 any more, it will get stuck at the bootlop again. :crying:
