Problem after root Red Triangle/Question mark after Reboot

Hello guys, I have HTC One V GSM which was recently unlocked and rooted by me. I don't remember how I got that but got it Rooted somehow.
Now Problem is I am unable to backup recovery, unable to install Rom, unable to install themes, after every reboot of following actions,
In Rom Manager
Reboot into recovery takes me to red question mark
The Rom you are using doesn't support OTA updates. The developer of this Rom needs to make the appropriate changes so their ROM support OTA update. Please contact ROM developer.
Installation Rom from sd card also shows red question mark.
In ROM Toolbox pro
Rom management
when i install MIUI (one of the ROMs available seen there) after reboot into recovery option same "red question mark"
unable to change font once I got them changed fortunately/unfortunately
so basically I don't know what to do. I don't even know what exactly can i do after Root else then deleting few pre installed apps
I am very very, in fact very, new to all these tech things just checked internet and did few things.
Please help me guys

1) don't use rom manager
2) it seems you don't have a recovery. Flash it again via fastboot

Thanks Mr Nooby for your reply
Since I am very new to these, did u mean the same procedure I did after unlocking bootloader? procedure of rooting?
Is there anyway I can stat over with new Root I mean fresh after Unlocked bootloader? Then may be I can re start installing Roms and tweaking phone?

Yeah you can flash roms and stuff. Remember that fastboot folder you used to root the phone? Put the recovery file (go for twrp recovery, you can find it in original development of this phone) in that folder, connect the phone in fastboot mode, open cmd and type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img", it will send recovery to the phone. From there you can install roms. Never use rom manager, it bricks your phone. And whenever you flash a rom, remember to flash kernel or it will be in boot loop

Also pls post questions like this in Q&A thread...

E:/%20cant%20/open%20cache/recovery/command
this error comes when i recover after flashing fastboot..
have tried twrp too
it aslso says
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

I don't really understand what could give you the problem. Tell the exact steps you are doing

steps are.. I have downloaded fastboot zip it has adb, adbwinapi.dll, adbwinusbapi.dll, fastboot
i have downloaded twrp.mg (openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou)
Opened cmd from same folder typed fastboot openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou or openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-primou.img
then pressed recovery
phone restarted green circle thing and then Red triangle with exclam sign. then rebooted by own and nothing happened.
I might be wrong doing it but unable to do anyting.
Can I unroot and start again?
I am downloading HTC asia RUU
Downloading:

See, you are taking wrong steps. In order to put recovery on phone you must type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img", not all the stuff you are writing dude

[Q] Can't boot after failed root attempt

SOLVED
So today I decided I would try to install a custom OS/ROM whatever it's called on my HTC One X. I unlocked the bootloader successfully without any problems. Then I went on to root the phone, and this is where it all went wrong. I found a tutorial and followed it to the tiniest detail. I am unable to link to it because I am a new user. When my phone rebooted it went to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" boot screen. I left it there for 30 minutes and it still didn't move on. What do I do now? I am a super noob at this, and I admit that I am an idiot for not reading more up on it first, it just all seems so super complicated.
Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

well, pm me the link so i can check the instructions you followed and maybe help you

No, no error, it said "Daemon launched successfully" or something along those lines, my phone turned off and turned back on to the HTC boot screen.

Ok, try this: if the phone is still on keep the power button pressed till it restarts and press also vol down button until you arenin the bootloader; if the device is off, enter bootloader keeping power and vol down button pressed... Now my suggestion is to flash a custom recovery and a custom rom, you will get root privileges and the phone will work again...
Sent from Somewhere Over The Rainbow...

If you are unlocked (you see it in bootloader) you can flash a custom recovery and a custom rom. Look up for your favorite Recovery and flash it.
Download the img File to directory where you have the fastboot files and run this code in command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
After it you can boot into Bootloader and turn to recovery to get access to phone and SD Card/flash Rom

Did you flash boot.img and erased the cache?

Okay, so I successfully flashed TWRP and launched into recovery mode with it. How I get the custom ROM files on my SD card, when I plug my phone into my computer with USB it doesn't show up in the drives section, so I can't open up the SD card.
Another thing is that with the latest version of TWRP for my phone touch doesn't work in the recovery mode. There's a version that does, but it says it doesn't have USB mount or something like that. What's the next step?

You need to mount sd card via recovery, and having the touchscreen working is better as it will be easier to move inside aroma installer... Use philz recovery (if you want a sense rom use 5.15.9, if you want kitkat use the last version), enter the recovery, plug the phone into pc, mount sdcard via recovery, copy the zip over it and follow the instructions to install rom... You can find the instructions in every rom thread op... Ask if you need more help

Thanks for all the help, I am really starting to get a better understanding of how this actually works. I flashed Philz recovery and went into recovery with it. Then I went to mount and mounted USB Storage. Is this the right thing? It still doesn't show up on my PC

Thank you! It finally showed up on my PC after a minute. I wanted to try Android 4.4.2 KitKat custom ROM "Carbon" so I want to ask a bit of an off-topic question. What are the GApps thing that I am told to install with the ROM? Why are they so important, what do they do?

have you flashed boot.img via fastboot and erased cache via fastboot? the commands are
fastboot flash boot boot.img

remember that first boot can take a while (in some cases up to ten minutes)

[Q] CyanogenMod 10 won't boot...

Hi, sorry for my bad english, I speak french.
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone a long time ago (6-7 months) and it was working fine (I was able to use "root-only" applications).
I decided to install a custom rom, to get better performance, after getting help from many places, I choose CyanogenMod from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2653961
I tried to install it using fastboot in windows, but like the last time (when I rooted my phone) fastboot wasn't working.
So I did it in linux (which worked for me before) and I installed a recovery (CWM). Then I did a backup, I copied the backup on my computer, then I rebooted, then I wiped everything (cache, data, dalvik, etc...) and installed CM10. After the installation, I rebooted, but it won't work!
It is stuck on the "boot screen" for at least 15 minutes.
What should I do?
Thanks!

From what you wrote, it seems you're s-on so after flashing any rom, you MUST flash kernel as well. The kernel is probably included in the zip file you downloaded it's usually called boot.img. You have to extract the kernel and put it in the root directory of your sdcard (same place you put the rom in).
So:
1- Wipe everything.
2- Flash rom (.zip).
3- Flash kernel (.img).
4- Reboot.
Let me know what happens.

[Q] I would like to use Cyanogenmod 12.1 on Xperia M, but how?

Hi guys
I'm very new to flashing phones, so please baby steps
I'm trying to flash the Cyanogenmod 12.1 to an elderly Xperia M.
I've tried asking for assistance on CM's page, but so far no luck, I hope somebody here is more helpfull.
I've downloaded the zip file, unzipped it and uploaded boot.img to it, but when it reboots, it just shows the Sony logo, and a blue led, but nothing else.
If I shut it down by removing the battery, start it up and press the volume rocker it boots up in Cyanogemnod recovery, but not cwm recovery.
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to follow the CM article regarding this specific CM build.

I've tried following the wiki guide, so I've downloaded the CM12.1, unzipped it, and used 'fastboot' to copy it into the phone, and then reboot it (as it is explained in the wiki article wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_nicki

Hi Andy
Ok, after finally getting it downloaded via the torrent, and actually getting the right file instead of a bunch of adware from the download links, I've tried starting it.
It says I'm not in USB debugging mode.
But to enable that I have to get into the phone, and it's currently not booting.
The flashboot refers to a 'back' button, but I don't have a physical back button on the C1905, what on earth do I do?

Ahaaa, part success, it needed charging. So after having it charged, and then connected to the phone, I've been able to flash a 'GLOBAL' firmware to the phone.
It now starts up as it should in the global firmware, and as soon as PC Companion saw it, it told me there is an update.
So that's great. Now I'm going to try with the Cyanogenmod again But I guess I have to find a '.ftf' version of it?

Ok, so right now, you are using stock FW and unlocked bootloader?
Step 1. Prepare files.
You will need the CM zip, Google Apps Zip, and a signed CWM Zip. Where do you find a signed CWM Zip? Look at Step 2.
Step 2.Sign the CWM zip from here, with the tool from here.
Step 3. Put the 3 Zip files on your SD card. Also, extract the boot.img and keep it somewhere easily accessible.
Step 4. I'll assume you have installed the nicki drivers for flashtool. Launch flashtool. The click the lightning bolt icon and select fastboot. With your xperia m sitched off, hold the VOL_UP key and connect USB cable. You should get a blue LED. Flash the boot.img as kernel.
Step 5. Select reboot into system. When a magenta LED shows, press a volume button. You should have booted to CM recovery. Browse to install ZIP, and flash the signed CWM zip.
Step 6. Power the phone off and repeat step 5. You should boot into CWM. Take a full backup of your phone first. Then wipe cache and data. Finally, flash CM zip and google apps zip.
Step 7. Wipe cache and reboot the phone.
Step 8. Sit back chillax, first boot will seem to take ages. Only after about 20 mins should you be concerned.
ENJOY CM12.1
Just to let you know, apps will take up more memory on Lollipop than other earlier versions. This is normal.

That worked perfectly, thankyou very much.
I now have a CM12.1 Xperia M, very nice

Hey, I am new to android. I tried your tutorial and millions of others to put CM 1.2 on my Sony Xperia M, but I had no luck at all. I am always getting errors like "Unable to mount /data" "e: format_volume failed to mount data/, formatting instead" "failed to mount dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata". I don't know what I am doing wrong. The first tutorial I followed was the one at the official wiki from the Cyanogenmod, and I got those errors. I didn't have a backup, but I managed to flash a stock rom I downloaded on the internet. Can you help me? I've been awake for 20hours trying to solve this but I always get the same error

By the way. I can access the Recovery mod, and I have a 512mb external card to put the files, I already tried the sideload method and put the zip files into the card as you said. But no luck. And another point, I wasn't able to apply the step 5, so I flashed the CWM staight, and I had errors when I tried to install both CM 1.2 and Gapps. I would be more than thankful if you helped me.

Just to check, did you install stock at least once after BL unlock? It is required to fix the data partition. Flash the stock ftf and let it boot. Then proceed with the instructions I provided.
Please remember that YOU, and only YOU are responsible for your actions. These instructions are provided "as is , with all faults".

Does the 'Full backup' from 6 include absolutely everything I could possibly need to go back to the exact same state my phone is currently in? In other words, is it like a copy of everything that I could possibly change or mess up on my phone? I always thought nandroid backup did that, but now I just read that doesn't backup the kernel for example.
And I'm assuming this 'full backup' can be done using flashtool, right?
Thanks

Please Help! Accidentally fastbooted CF-Auto-Root-Bundle (for xperia z1) !

Hello People,
yesterday I spent the whole day trying to figure out how to root my phone. In the end I found a tutorial on chip.de but overread it was for the non compact version.
So I used fastboot to flash these files Z_DooMLoRD_CF-Auto-Root-ported_FW-350.img” and “Z_DooMLoRD_insecure_FW-350.img
Well, as you might guess it didn't work.
Now it doesn' boot anymore.
Does anyone have a suggestion what I could do now. Phone is still recognized in fastboot or sonyflashtool and can enter download mode.
Thanks for your time
Regards
Jürgen

Assuming you have some ROM zip or backup on your phone somewhere that you can flash, this will get you into recovery:
Download boot IMG here - https://mega.nz/#!QsEUTY6K!MCc5GZMGgFu66C8ECtdrtQ64jOQ_1MDPWglyxAP5Gu4
Download recovery IMG here - https://mega.nz/#!E4UQwIoZ!UFpur2wY3tIAU7SdjuEg5fUA6N4BAVwX_TeK_CFpTyo
Copy both to /adb directory on computer, then:
fastboot flash boot boot.img, then:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
Then start phone, and press volume up or down when you see the led.

Thank you very much ! This got me into recovery! Now the problem is that I have no backup and no rom.zip on my phone. Is there a way to put a fitting file on the phone?
Edit: Ok now I found out I can put a rom.zip on my sd card and then mount sd card in twrp and install rom fron there, right? Could somebody point me towards a stock rom preferably with root access?

If you have trouble, use these boot/recovery files - https://mega.nz/#!lh9i0AYI!iH3Vw5keSNo66CHvq3c6V9HMCWAWJ5FIYcZZ35U254g
The first ones are from CM11, I don't know how they'll do with flashing an LP prf...

@levone1 Well, unfortunately this didnt work. Got stuck while flashing... By the way the first two files were twrp and the second was cyanogen recover. Now I fastbooted twrp again.
Do I have to root first?

Second link was a zip with CM boot img and twrp3 img. The boot img probably includes CM recovery, but if you flash the twrp3 img, you should be able to get into twrp 3, which will flash the rom.
Make sure your fastboot command matches the filename.

Alternately you could flash CM11 - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...T3Zoa6K8nDjMW3OlQ&sig2=-5eFhWzJFl7zHnNgDnrUXQ - with the first boot/recovery, then download a different rom, and use Rashr app to flash boot img from that rom.
Or, use Flashtool to flash stock, then root, etc
