[Q] Unrevoked Loop

I need help and in a bad way.
I tried rooting my phone tonight. I ran the latest version of unrevoked tonight and I can't seem to get off the boot menu that pops up. Everytime I hit Bootloader then Fastboot, I go back to the main menu. Recovery I get an error on the restart, clear storage does nothing, im scared to try simlock. Everything else doesn't do a thing for me. Any help would be amazing.

So your phone won't boot normally at all?

That is correct

The first thing I would try is in recovery make a back up (if it lets you). Then try restoring that recovery. If not I would download a ROM whatever you choose, I have the Redemption Rom 2.2. Put it on the root of your sd card, obviously you are going to have to do this on your PC with a card reader, or if you have another phone that you can put it in it and use the usb cable. Then in recovery go to flash zip from sd card and choose the ROM. This all assuming that everything in the recovery screen works. Hopefully this at least gets your phone booting up. If it does then you're golden and can always go back to stock whenever you choose.

I sounds to me like you can't even get into recovery so that isn't an option.. this is what you do. Download this RUU file. http://dougpiston.com/files/RUU/RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.26.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.70_PRL58006_release_152016_signed.exe
Then open the RUU that you just downloaded. Normally you would run this with your phone booted but since that doesn't work. you need to do ctrl/alt/delete and get to start windows task manager. go to Processes, find and right-click adb.exe and find containing folder. This will bring you to were the "rom.zip" is help, pull that file and put it on your desktop. now, you can close the windows task manager, and the RUU. rename that file on your desktop from either "rom.zip" or "rom" to "PB31IMG.zip" or "PB31IMG" whichever your computer shows, just make sure not to put .zip.zip without knowing.
now, turn off phone, take off back and take out sd card, (hopefully you have an adapter, or another phone you can use? anything to hook it up to the computer since you can't with your phone?, and get that PB file on the SD Card, no folder just right on top and make sure it's formatted to Fat32. put it back in phone, hold vol down and power, let the phone do it's thing, and you're now un-rooted.

Here is the RUU as a PBIMG31.zip already. Just change name to PBIMG31.zip place it in the ROOT(in no subfolders) of your SD card then when HBOOT loads start the update and it should automatically go back to to stock.
PBIMG31.zip download

Thanks bradatz, that worked well

i know i m in wrong post and multiposting but i nead this fixed now.
i nead to use phone now, i can t wait to buy adapter

I think you're asking this in the wrong place mate, either way, here goes my help lol.
If the cable is connected to the computer, you should have a recovery menu, on "Advanced" or "Mount" (not sure now) you have a "mount usb "option, that way you'll be able mount usb drive on your computer and move the new rom there. Next, you can flash it

i have try that it is not working

You have selected "mount usb" on that same menu? No drive showing up on Windows? Even hidden one? (you can check under control panel - administrative tools - computer management - disks and see if there's nothing there, sometimes they aren't mapped).
You can also try to use a usb card reader and read the sdcard elsewhere.
There's a way to do these kind of stuff, either way, your device is far from "bricked", you just have no rom.
Ext recovery (a different recovery from CWM) could help you in this scenario as well, but I don't have much experience with those as well.
Ask the question under "Q/A" on the same Desire thread, I'm sure someone will come up with a working resolution for you
Good luck.

LoL ?
U have recovery -> Good
1. Turn of phone
2. Open it
3. Remove Battery
4. Remove SDCARD
5. Plug SD to PC (adapters are cheap , and 90% new laptops have crd readers)
6. copy desired rom on SD
7. Boot recovery , vipe all , install room , reboot.

By the looks of it, CWM.
On the other hand, I think he died because he didn't fix it on time
Jokes aside, I was once with his panic. Lucky enough I found an adapter lying around.
So I guess it worked out somehow for you Petaa?

i don t know whay but my pc sometimes recognise phone and sometimes don t , most of the time i can t conect pc with phone.
It was not like this before.

[Q] Stuck ...

I have a new T-Mobile Note 2. I installed TWRP and SuperSU using the toolkit. I then used Root Browser and deleted a bunch of apps ("bloatware", I thought), and apparently removed too much, as the phone no longer boots android.
I downloaded the two Tweaked 2.4.1 Rom files, checked Md5sums, OK, and coped same to external SD card. I did the recommended wipes using TWRP. Thereafter, also using TWRP, BasicInstall finishes with success, but the Tweaked.2.4.1.UVBMD1.073113.zip install fails with "E: Unable to open zip file". Then I try to reboot, and get a message "your phone does not appear to be rooted", and take the option "Install SuperSU? That also fails.
I think maybe I can't install Tweaked.2.4.1.UVBMD1.073113.zip because the phone isn''t rooted? Is that right? But I can't figure out how to root the phone either. I'm stuck in a loop. Recommendations to fix appreciated.
Thx, Gus

If you got an unable to open zip file error - even though the md5s check out the only thing I can think of is the zip has become corrupted somehow. Did you check the md5 on a computer and move the file over? Might be worth checking it on the phone (you can use the terminal interface in twrp fwiw - just use the md5sum command).
Bottom line recommendation - try to copy the full zip over to the sdcard again. Also, just to sate my curiosity - did you wipe /system before flashing?

I did recopy the two Tweaked .zip files to the sdcart - repeated attempt to install on phone, same problems.
I also unzipped the two Tweaked files on linux, and although I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to see, there's no errors and a bunch of directories and files that generally look reasonable
I think I did wipe /system on the phone before flashing - could that be my problem? Also, when I go into terminal mode in TWRP on the phone, I get a hang at "Updating partition details"
Is it possible I've accidentally deleted the unzip program on the phone?
Is there stuff I could/should do from an adb shell on my PC through a USB hookup to the phone?
thx, Gus

You could flash stock rom with odin and start over.
Tweaked Out

Hmm... maybe reflash recovery? That's very strange - especially if the first zip worked fine and the second had the issues...

I wish I could! But when I try that it hangs at "Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled". And that's even if the phone is booted into download mode.

Odin back to stock. Twrp started failing everything I tried to flash also. That's why I stopped using it. But you need to Odin to stock

Finally got it working. dwitherell was more or less right about the problem. Here's my steps: 1) did a low-level format on the external sda card 2) recopied the two Tweaked zip files onto the external sda card 3) Cheked md5sums for both files on the external sda card 4) ainstalled from TWRP, as before. BUT - this time it worked.
I'm guessing either the external sda card or one of the zip files was corrupted - as dwitherell had suggested. Thanks to him and other forum members for helping out.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus reboot loop

Greetings:
I'm trying to help a friend to fix her Galaxy Nexus (SC-040 from Japan). Her phone would boot past the Google logo (with the unlocked icon at bottom), then freezes a second and restart at the "Franco Kernel" screen. The only hint I have is that her storage is getting somewhat full around 100MB or so left when the phone suddenly go into this mode without her touching anything system related.
I'm an IT person but don't have experience using android phones or rooting them, so appreciate your help here. Checked online and played a bit with the phone and here's what I tried:
1) Tried booting into the CWM recovery mode (v.5.5.0.2) - Wipe cache partition, as well as wipe Dalvik cache, reboot again same issue
2) Since there is no easy way to get the phone working, I plan to backup the user data (pictures, app and messages) and restore to factory settings. I tried mouintg USB storage - and get "E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)". Read on here somewhere that it is an issue with CWM and/or Galaxy Nexus doesn't support this (can someone confirm)? Perhaps using the more updated version 6 would help, which leads to next issue
3) Tried to flash to the latest CWM mod for Galaxy Nexus, but then I realize that the Galaxy Nexus has no external SD card option. Then I tried the "install zip from sd card" > "choose zip from sd card" just to see what comes up, and it appears to show me the internal flash storage folders (contains folder such as Android, DCIM, Download, etc...). Since it can "see" the internal storage, I can assume the flash storage seems to be working ok (at least at reading the folders)
4) Since I cannot transfer from an external SD card into the Nexus, I tried downloading the SkipSoft Android Toolkit. After playing around with it a little, it appears to have the option to let me: a) push and pull file from Nexus, b) flash CWM. However, after I tried using the options (and installing all files necessary at the prompt), it's telling me my phone is not in developer / debug mode and that I need to enable that after booting into Android (which I can't)
So here's my 3-4 hours of playing with the phone / online to try to fix it to no avail. My question is:
1) Is there another tool that will let me access the internal storage while in the CWM recovery mode so I can backup the files to my PC
2) Anything else I can try to get pass the reboot loop without getting to storage (step 1)?
Many many thanks!!!!

Just download fastboot and adb. Then download the latest cwm (6.0.4.5 i think) and flash it via fastboot. After that boot into CWM and type: adb pull /sdcard/ C:/ to get all the files from the phone into the root of the C: drive. If you need any explanation or guides just let me know

[Q] Still have S-OFF, how to root from 2.3.4?

Hi Folks,
It's been awhile, but I'm trying to remove bloat from our old Incredible 2 and it still retains S-OFF from using Revolutionary years ago.
The only methods I've read in this forum to root the Inc2 involve downgrading to 2.3.3 first, then rooting. I haven't looked at re-rooting this device in awhile, obviously.
Guess my question is if I can avoid downgrading and do something a bit more direct. Ideas welcome!
Thanks.

As far as I know, you still have to downgrade to 2.3.3. It's not hard. Just follow the steps.

Yes, it's not hard, I just wanted a faster path.
Now to get the darn thing to connect via USB, since the single-click solution I tried apparently messed things up.

If you can't get USB to work, you have three other options.
Download the zip file using your phone's web browser instead of your computer. Unzip the tacoroot file on the phone, and inside it will be a zip file for the 2.3.3 RUU (ROM Update Utility). Rename it to PG32IMG.zip.
If you have the file on your computer, take the SD card out of the phone and put it in your computer's SD card reader. Then put PG32IMG.zip (see option #1) on the SD card and put the card back into the phone.
If the is on your computer but you don't have an SD card reader, install ES File Explorer on the phone and then transfer PG32IMG.zip (see option #1) to the phone using either an SMB share on the computer or the ES File Explorer's FTP server (called Remote Manager in the left sidebar). Option #1 is less work, but this way wastes less bandwidth if you already have the file on your computer, because it would be file transfer over the local network instead of over the Internet.
Once you have PG32IMG.zip at the top level of your SD card, restart the phone while holding down power and volume down. This should take you to the bootloader. Inside the bootloader (or maybe fastboot, which you can get to from the bootloader), the phone will scan the SD card, detect the PG32IMG.zip file, and ask if you want to install the update. Plug the phone into a charger, then say yes. DO NOT POWER OFF THE PHONE WHILE IT INSTALLS THE RUU.
Restart the phone. The phone will now be in a fully factory default state with 2.3.3 but will still have S-OFF. In other words, the 2.3.3 RUU should solve the USB problem you mentioned.
Remove PG32IMG.zip from SD card, using either your computer or a file manager app such as ES File Explorer. Install TWRP custom recovery using the "Download - Recovery Image Method" steps on this page: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/71
Once TWRP Recovery is installed, you'll be able to use it to install custom ROMs, kernels, gapps, etc. Other custom recoveries you could use include the latest version of 4EXT or the latest version of ClockworkMod.
