Hello all, maybe someone can tell me what's up.
Well I unlocked the bootloader, and rooted my One V (CDMA version). I have SuperSU on it now, so it's rooted.
Anyways, now I wanna flash a custom ROM onto it. I boot into HBOOT, then click recovery, it takes like 3 seconds, then a triangle with an exclamation point appears on the screen, and it is like bricked, so I have to reset the phone.
It works perfect, but can't get into recovery to flash new ROM's...
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is this what I need to do?
I was thinking I seen someone on here recently said CWM bricks a One V right now.. Maybe they was wrong?
Ya.. you need a Custom Recovery to flash a Custom ROM. Triangle with an exclamation point means you have a stock recovery.
Find one for your device in cdma section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1906

Thanks bro.

Hi,
I've had help to fix up my HTC One X, but I wanted stock recovery for my phone, I require 4.19.728.x.
My phone is pretty much back to stock except the recovery.img which loads up a red triangle. I can find stock recoveries easily, just not for my particular phone.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
What recovery did you flash then ? A recovery with a triangle is a stock one !
You have your thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603596
Don't open a new one in the future when a question evolves around the same issue !
So you restored an older nand and did the update again, did i understand that correctly ?
If you did a official ota to 4.19 and you didn't touch it after that, the recovery is stock. If it wasn't then the ota would have failed !

Hi Mr Hofs, I restored someone else's nandroid backup as mine is corrupt and then successsfuly applied an OTA update however my screen displays an image of a phone with a red triangle and an exclamation mark when the recovery option is selected from HBOOT, I assume this shows the stock recovery I have doesn't work with the ROM.
I will avoid opening uneccesary threads in future but while the previous thread was similar my problem has changed and I thought that people would think my problem was over as someone tried to help me. I was right because you answered here and not in the other thread.
No i answered here because this thread is the new active one. And to make sure you read this. Opening a new one is not needed, just put the correct question in the old thread is enough. The topic will be back on top again.The old one was already about restoring and recoverys.
But as i said. You performed ota. The recovery is normal and stock.
Thanks, then I wonder why I get an image of a phone and the red triangle?
Because it's stock recovery. A warning that you are at a point you should not be !

Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me, despite that I've not followed the forum rules.
]So I was stuck in a hard place and needed a recovery fix and couldn't find one... I stumbled across an .Img file so u converted it to a .tar file and shall share in hopes that people who make the mistake as I did don't have to go the the grueling process of flashing all the way back to mk2 and lose everything that they currently had and starting over
Download = https://www.dropbox.com/s/mx1933wuc...short route to recover from such a situation.
Cool!

Maybe this is very commendable, but maybe not. What phone do you have? What rom did you have to begin with? What firmware was this image file made from? Basically, you need to be much more specific if you're actually trying to help some other people.

Which recovery is this . I downloaded it and the file is only 10.5kb . Its a really small file .. also my bootloader is locked so if i flash this in odin . I most likely will get a fail or a paper weight ...

it's simply the mk2 stock recovery img; incase you tried to custom flash a recovery (which has been proven to fail) and the bootloader kicks you out (non-safestrap recovery like actual recovery recovery)
...i apologize for not being more specific.
i was in a jam at work when i tried to flash custom clockworkmod recovery to my main recovery via safestrap and got bootlooped due to our locked bootloader. I found the recovery.img file under some thread and i formatted it to work with odin; flashed it to my device an SGH-i337 and it allowed me to boot back up normally. so for me it was a safe haven, and im just trying to help others who tend to experiment even when told not to.

Right on ...Thanks man .. Yeah this will help .. I had it happen when falshing a rom and i lost safestrap and was stuck in a boot loop ..So this would be very helpful in that case ..I wish this would be for NB1 or NC1 ..Especially since there is a root method for 4.4 usinf towelroot

You must flash thru recovery.
Here the installation steps, but first you must flash a custom recovery like this or other, its up to you.
Installation instructions
- Copy f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip to your SDCARD
- Reboot into CWM recovery
- Choose "Install zip from sdcard"
- Select f4ktion_1.4.0-xxx.zip kernel and confirm installation.

Thank you so much So all i have to do is flash the recovery in Odin.. But since my s4 mini is rooted, do i have to install the S4Mini_RootKit_V2.zip?? i mean if I do, will it conflict with the SuperSU i have previously installed on my device? Or just overwrite it and work like a charm? Sorry I'm asking like too many questions, but since i'm new here i need some guidance
Btw, how do i know if my bootloader is unlocked? Before I buy this s4 mini i owned an Xperia go and to install a kernel i had to unlock the BL.. I don't know if the same thing applies for sammy devices, just asking:angel:

No, we have bootloader unlocked, so you don't need to unlock anything.
No, try with this recovery if you afraid to not doing some conflicts:
[i919x][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch
Download philz_touch_6.07.9-serranoltexx.tar.md5
boot into download mode
connect phone in download mode to PC via USB
press start to flash the tar.md5 package
normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.
If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

Really, i don't know for sure, BUT in my previous phone (S Advance I9070) i have some errors when i flashed different baseband deodexed.
Make a nandroid backup after you have custom recovery, and you can try it. If something going wrong, restore your backup and all will just like before.

Please help me out... I somehow ended up softbricking my device. An I cant find any working links so i can flash using odin..
What bootloader version is on the phone? I recommend not flashing anything that tries to change the bootloader or modem until you confirm at least the bootloader version.
I was on 4.2.2 if this helps then i rooted and flashed to pac-mans latest nightly
I really need help with the file to flash... none of the links are working.. I need help bad guys... An another if I ever do get this file Am I going to have to repartion or flash in pit?
Im ready to throw this phone out.. This shouldnt have to be this hard. Who would of thought If you messed up and soft brick your phone. There would be no way of undoing this cuz theres no ****ing working links anywhere or people just dont want to help. This is a joke.
This is my only phone.. It just sucks i cant find anyworking links. What did you guys do when you softbrick with no links? An when I do flash this file if I ever get it... I just put it in pda then flash in odin?
TTT

Fixed see link if you have the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068&page=73 or message me if ANYONE needs any help. Your ATT unbricking boss!!
Unbricking is not required if you can get into download mode.
In download mode, just flash TWRP or Philz Touch, boot to recovery, and flash a custom ROM. Flash supersu from recovery for root access.
Everythings taken care of already, thanks though// =]

Remember to be polite when posting .......... to answer the TWRP Question ....... going forward TWRP is really the only stable recovery program for 4.XX the CWM has issues on many devices in Jellybean forward....... FYI
2nd thing most of the comments helping you are correct. The worst case scenario is in a hard brick you would need a Jtag to get into download mode ..... but if you can without it there is always a fix .......
One other thing .....going from JB to KK the bootloader is different framework so, there is a special flash for upgrading to that the 1st time be informed...... FYI

Which version of CM are you running? It might be possible that you are running an outdated version of the recovery and hence cannot flash roms.

Some ROMs are flashable via recovery and some are not and are meant to be applied using Fastboot. But if you are rooted, try an app called Flashify. It can be found on Google Play. Today I flashed recovery on my Xiaomi Redmi 2 with it. It works same as fastboot but it's simpler as you don't have to flash via computer.
When I still used my good old Wildfire S, I also tried to flash Cyanogen 11 via Clockworkmod Recovery. And it failed. Then I swapped Clockworkmod for TWRP Recovery and TWRP flashed the zip without problem. Or perhaps you use just too old recovery. I recommend you to try TWRP Recovery, it has touch interface and it is more user friendly
