Hey guys, really hoping someone can help me here - my phone can't seem to boot into any of my nandroid backups - it just gets stuck in a boot loop.
That's only a fraction of the problem, the way I want to fix this is by installing a ROM from fresh, but that obviously requires me to be able to transfer the ROM to the phone - I can't seem to do that from the bootloader. And remember, I can't actually get into the phone OS to do it from there
Huge problem, basically... is there any way for me to transfer files to the phone from bootloader or recovery mode?
Really hoping someone here can help - thanks for everything.
Solution1
Ya surely can help
U Need to boot into ur custom recovery.
There will be a option called mounts and storage.
Select Mound SD card(While phone is connected to PC)
And mount the ROM
But why did your backup fail ?
Did a factory reset and wiped all you could in recovery ?
Flashed the boot.img from the nandroid backup ?
You saved my A...S ~!
:good

Well I was going to put my first ROM on (cyanogen) and something went wrong. I had done a Nandroid backup and when I try it says Error while flashing boot image. I can't get past the boot screen. In desperation I tried Wipe data/factory reset in Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.0.1 to no avail. Can anyone help me outta this mess?
Anyone There ??
Can anyone help??
Make sure your battery is charged up enough, too low and nandroid will fail on most recovery versions but the latest amonra.
If that doesn't work look for a .img file to flash back to stock
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Where would I look for a .img file? On the SD?
If you can still wipe then you can get to recovery. Us the USB-MS toggle to connect your phone to your computer. Re-download a ROM's zip fie and try again. try something very stable, wipe, then reflash. It should boot fine. Sprintlovers is a good stable rom to work with. Just download, use USB-MS toggle to copy it to the root of your SD card, turn off USB-MS toggle, WIPE ALL! / factory data reset, then flash zip from SD card. Wait for that to finish and it will boot fine.
Here is a link to the sprint lovers download:

and the thread:

If you are using clockwork recovery I think the USB toggle is under partition menu, that or advanced.
Thanks so much. I'll try that, but I'm not sure what you mean by the USB-MS toggle. Would you mind expanding on that a little? I really appreciate it.
I just searched for it. I have a different recovery so the wording is different. Connect your phone to the computer while in recovery. Move down to the Partition menu and enter that. One of the options should be "Mount USB". Click that.
A folder should pop up on your computer showing the contents of your SD card. Copy the .zip file that I gave you the link to above to the SD card. Then disconnect USB.
Wipe or factory reset from the wipe menu. Then flash the .zip from the SD card. Then reboot the phone. It will take a few minutes to load, but should work.
I can't thank you enough! I was scared sh-tless that I'd bricked my phone. Wish I could buy you a drink!!!
Glad to help!
If that works make a nandroid backup immediately so if it happens again you can restore the working sprint lovers.
If you want to try cyanogenmod again re-download (could have corrupted before), and always wipe before you flash the .zip or it will bootloop.
Have fun!
You know what I'd really like to do is restore the Nandroid that I did right before I got into this mess. But I keep getting the " Error while flashing boot image" message. I'm charging another battery to see if that's the cause of the error. What do you think?
I'm not sure. Could be a battery thing. I know it does give an error if the battery is too low, but i don't remember what the message is. I think it won't do anything if it is less than 30%.

I got those errors a couple times when I first started out. I fixed it by flashing the rom I was running when I made the nandroid and then restored my nandroid over that.
Didn't I probably lose that ROM when I did the Factory reset?

No you don't lose your nandroid when you wipe back to factory. Your nandroid might be corrupt. It happens some times. I flash your custom ROM, set everything up the way you want it. Then do a nandroid backup. Copy that over to your PC to save space as it is a large file.
Hi,
So like an idiot I formatted my sd card and now I can't flash any ROMs to recover. Also, like an idiot, I didn't create a nandroid. Is there anyway i could recover? If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

1) you formatted /data/media, no way to recover from that.
2a) if you wiped data, you're through. you'll need to start over (reinstall apps).
2b) if not, follow procedure below to push the same rom zip file to reflash. you should have all your apps back.
boot into recovery, hook up usb, use adb push /path/to/flashable/zip/folder/cwm_flashable.zip /data/media/ (rom, gapps or anything else, if needed), go to device, install zips, reboot, done.
keep in mind that if you encounter issues, you really need to start fresh (reboot, wipe data).
If you don't mind about losing data, you can just download factory images. Then just use bootloader to flash them. Absolutely no need to be worried about recovering from stuck logo.

I was messing about with my phone and to cut a long story short I need my original boot image. When I try to go back to my backup, It doesn't seem to help.
I was on stock Orange 4.1.1 I think? Whatever the latest was.
Does anyone know where I can get the boot.img please? I can do the rest myself I think
So you did a nandroid backup ? You mount the sdcard as a usb diskdrive and look in the backup folder. The boot.img is in there
So I'm in recovery - mounts and storage. I click on mount USB storage and it says unable to open ums lunfile?
Update the recovery to this one and that problem is gone

Guide & Mod : Telcast G18 mini 3G tablet [CWM Recovery][Stock Firmware][Partition Data]
Hello,
I got myself a nice 7.9 inch Android 4.2.2 Tablet [16Gb].
This is a new tablet so no rom/mod information about it so I decided to put few things together.
I messed up my Modem/Radio trying to make CMW mod recovery but got lucky and found a Chinese forum with a stock rom.
That gave me confidence to mod like hell till I got myself a working CWM Recovery
Youtube Video of tablet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybz6yymWM7I&feature=c4-overview&list=UUUAnm9j-J2x3_nDDDxO2nlQ
Warning! use this guide at your own risk.
Root Guide:
Just download Framaroot apk and run it! It will ask you to reboot and that’s it...You are Rooted!.
CWM Mod Recovery Guide:
Download the G18mini Recovery and flash with MobileUncle.apk
Place the .img in the root of SD then launch the app and click update recovery. Tablet will then reboot into CWM . Do a full nandroid back up!! You will need it in the future or if you want to partition.
Or Flash with SP Flash tool (can find easily on XDA and included in full firmware DL)
Partition /data for more storage Guide:
This tablet only has 1GB for apps which is lame!
Make sure you have Nandroid Backup before doing this and copy the backup to external SD (required)!!! or use Rom manager to backup to external SD!
Install meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-8gb-16gb-en APK
Run it and click the 4GB and follow the instructions and reboot into recovery.
Wipe/reset then do an Nandroid restore from external SD
It will show failed to restore SDCARD but don’t worry, boot into the tablet and format/erase internal (Flash storage)
Turn off the tablet then hold volume up and power to boot recovery. Do a full nandroid restore again from external SD…DONE!
You will now have 3.9GB for apps and 9.7GB internal storage!
Restore to Factory:
Stock Firmware DL has a PDF in chinese but screenshots should be enough to restore the tablet top factory stock (it uses SP Flash)

messed up but found the original firmware
Hello guys, I'm new at breaking into Android devices, and it seems I messed up when trying to follow this Guide and Mod.
Somehow I didn't do this step:
-----------
CWM Mod Recovery Guide:
Download the G18mini Recovery and flash with MobileUncle.apk
Place the .img in the root of SD then launch the app and click update recovery. Tablet will then reboot into CWM . Do a full nandroid back up!! You will need it in the future or if you want to partition.
Or Flash with SP Flash tool (can find easily on XDA and included in full firmware DL)
-------------
After root i performed the partition. And whiped data. So it seems that all data is erased, I manage to come to the recovery menu. When i afterwards manually copied the G18mini Recovery.img file to the root of my sd-card, and tried to boot find the update, it says no SD card can be found...
one option it gave was to adb sideload data into the tablet. Tried that, but did not know what data i should sideload into it. It seems it need a file.zip.
Somebody asked for the firmware, i found the original firmware from modecom dot eu -> support -> download -> tablets
I tried also to istall that, but did not succeed. It seems the drivers won't load into my windows 8.1 computer.
Any suggestion how to proceed? Can i get the original firmware installed by using Android SDK Manager? I hope I'll be able to save the tablet...
Did you solve it?

Me cannot restore from sdcard either. Does it mean that one should erase sdcard while in recovery mode? I did that, but the externat sd card won't still work.

I unlocked bootloader with windroid tool. Then I flashes twrp. Then this being my first time messing with an android in years I went and just grabbed the first rom I thought I could use, do to the fact that I had done no backup no nandroid anything so I flashed a rom and after it did it every time I tries to flash different rom because it said the rom I did first failed. So everytime I tries to do anything else with windroid it says there is a log file in the logs folder. Send this to windycity's forum so it can be tAken care of. But I couldn't find this file or where to submit the file so I thought if I just reset the phone back to factory I could restart. And after resetting it multiple times it still said, there is a log file in the logs folder send this to Windy City. So since I do still have the twrp tool that I can use I went in there and found that it has to rm -f delete everything Linux code so I did that. And since I've done that all I can do is get to bootloader and twrp. But the so is deleted. So basically nothing works. I can't figure out how to get the sd to mount or it won't mount for whAtever reason. And since the phone is wiped it won't enable USB debugging to connect to computer. I can get it to start to enable and connect for a second but not long enough for it to do anything. And I believe it's a htc evo 4g sprint. So that's the situation. The next thing I was gunn try was to go buy a mini sd card reader so I can mount it to computer and then put the rom in there. This **** is so confusing and ridiculous. I mean I can jailbreak an apple device no problem. But holy mother of God androids are the most insanely retarded phones to root. Drivers, adb, sdk...... Anyways if u can help let me know because there's a million roms and kernels out there and I don't know what build to use and how to set it up and the whole kernel process sounds confusing.
Do this. Go to the link below. Look at the second post. Go to the "Current Release" section and download either the stock rooted odex or deodex ROM, doesn't matter. Put the ROM zip on your external SD card. You can do this with the mount option in TWRP (select the mount option then select your external SD card from the menu. You should then be able to transfer the ROM zip from your computer directly to your phone), or just use a card reader to transfer the file from your computer to your SD card, then put the card back into your phone. Boot into TWRP and go to the wipe menu. Do a wipe of system, data, Dalvik & cache. Once you've done this, go to the install option, then locate the ROM zip you placed on your SD card. Flash the ROM. Once the install completes, reboot the phone. The first boot will take a few minutes so be patient. Afterwards the phone should boot to the OS.

Also, USB debugging is only useful when the phone is actually booted to the OS. It doesn't matter that it isn't enabled for your particular dilemma. If all else fails, shoot me a PM and I may have something else that can get you up and running.
