[Q] CM cant finish updating - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hello,
i have a problem with installing CM10 on my xperia s.
Bootloader was unlocked, i used Advanced stock kernel before.
What i did:
flashed the boot.img via fastboot
go into CMW Recovery, i wasnt able to mount the sdcard so i used adb sideload. seems to work, after i had reached 100% CWM started to installing the update.
CMW Log:
Sideload started...
Now Send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb-sideload <filename>"...
restarting adb...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and after the progressbar ist filled to 75%, it suddenly aborts and i am back in the CMW menu, when i try to boot, the cyanmod logo appers but the phone seems to stuck.
What did i do wrong? I am reading post and searching for it nearly 1 hour but i cant find a solution.
greetings
K_G
ps. sorry for my bad english

Don't sideload the file? Just push it and then install zip from sd card, first wipe everything.
I see you can't push it so you might need to install stock, put the file on the sd card and then install it like that.

so tryed ist again via sideload ^^, wipe, still dont get the message but it works! i dont know why.
But i tryed to install the Cybershot Camera mod, seems this mod didnt works with cm10. System doesnt boots anymore, do i have to reflash the boot.img and the rom zip, or only the rom zip or is it possible to rescue the system.
I was to lazy to make a backup :crying:.
btw. how is the proper command to push? "adb push xyz123.zip" ?

[Q] Which Clockworkmod to Install?

On the sticky thread there is a link for cwm thread, however I'm not quite sure which filesystem to choose, I'm going to install through recovery, seems safer for me. I want to install cwm for 2 purposes, first I'm planning to backup my stock rom so that I can always flash it back if I need my warranty and second I'm planning to flash cm9 to my phone. I'm not quite sure what is the diffrence between rfs and ext4 is Currently I'm on 2.2.1 stock rom.
Actually I found the proper version of CWM to install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
But I can't apply it, when I enter recovery mode the options I have are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chace parition
Pheraps I should rename the zip file I downloaded to update.zip? I can't select any other zip from the sd card and if I press "apply sdcard:update.zip" it searches for update.zip and fails to find it.

I flashed it but I can't seem to be able to enter to recovery now, power+home buttons just keep me on the samsung logo (not the flashing one, the first one) my phone works but just can't enter to recovery. When I flashed it, it seemed to work, but I don't know why I can't enter

First you have to root and format to ext4, before installing CWM.
Download mode, remove battery, insert battery, press power, home, volume down, at the same time.

looks like you have a soft-brick.
Download a Official-Rom, move the Update into the DLOAD-Folder,
go into the original Recovery and let it flash the file.
After this your phone should be starting normally.

I use ROOT WIZARD method....
This happened to me yesterday as well, I was about to restore apps using TB but the phone frooze and then anything made it boot. I don't know how Exactly I solved it but all I did was:
1.- Flash TWRP v3.01
2.- Wipe all the phone, including system, data, cust and internal sd
3.- From within TWRP flashed STock boot and recovery for 118CN FW.
4.- Placed 118CN UPDATE.APP in external sd/dload
5.- from within TWRP still, rebooted the phone to recovery.
6.- The phone started to flash the update from external SD.
7.- It succeded to flash files but couldn't mount /sdcard so I repeated steps above once more
8.- from stock recovery wipe/factory reset
9.- Tried the update again and voila! Phone succeded and booted just fine... Now it's been running with no issues since 2 days
I was running 118CN FW and a test kernel with some "non tested" or unstable features which I think forced the phone to frooze and then the data corruption...

hi thanks how do you flash with trwp? cause i am not that expert please cant use my phone

You must do it through adb.
ahhhh..
sry
but i can't even install a rom by using the adb sideload command..it fails because of "file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": No such file or directory"
what can i do now?
tried to reload the B510..
should i try with a custom ROM?

Flash through adb stock recovery. Extract your sdcard, create on it dload folder using your PC/Laptop. In dload folder put the update.app of the ROM you want and insert back in the device the sdcard. Press volume up + volume down + power button until the HUAWEI logo appears, after that release all the buttons and the phone will start to update the firmware.
Thanks beyond..
Got it finally again..
But it was very tricky..
Had to usw the b507 by reyncla (thanks for sharing)..
I let this for now in my phone..
I tried the Method you mentioned..but i could not reach the phone by ADB directly (in twrp via ADB sideload it worked finally)..
Thanks for answering..maybe i switch sometime back to the b510 or to the official release (when it comes)..

[Q] Stuck in boot, need help

Hello,
I'm looking for help as I have exhausted all of my search on google and xda developers and the answer doesn't seem to be there. I'm afraid I might be unable to get out of this one.
I have a huawei ascend P6-U06 I bought it and it came with the international firmware, I had rooted it and flashed miui v5 into my phone, everything was fine but one thing, I was unable to use themer, so about 3 days ago I finally decided to flash omni rom.
I downloaded omni rom and installed CWM recovery and once into the system I selected the zip from my sd card and flashed it, only to find that the phone would not go pass the first screen (stuck in boot and could not be shutdown or anything)
Since I did not do a TWRP recovery (and I don't know how, I'm just a beginner) I was unable to do anything other than the "3 button method" so I looked and found that I could put the UPDATE.APP file on the dload folder and it should work, so I tried it and the UPDATE.APP firmware version is the B125, all good I think this was the Chinese version but it had English and other languages as well, but Chinese seemed to be the main one.
Anyways I had the phone back and it did an update, after the update everything was working fine, I deleted the dload file from the sd card, also I saw that the "system" or the phone itself created a dload file on the internal storage but then once I had themer on the phone I saw myself that I hated the emotion ui and in the first place that was the reason I had put miui into my phone, I still wanted to try omni rom and persistently I tried a second time.
Now this time since I already new that I could just do the dload thingy I thought (what could happen) so I tried again with CWM to flash the omni rom (the latest version) but it gave me an error saying something like the installation was aborted or something like that.
So I went back to having the phone stuck in boot, I put the B125 UPDATE.APP and created a dload folder on the sd card, but when doing the "3 button method" the system gave me an error, I tried downloading the B122 and the B132 and also the B510 but although I have put the UPDATE.APP on the dload folder it just doesn't do it's magic like it previously did.
Now I don't really have money to buy another phone, if I did I would just buy another one (I like the p7) but I don't so I need to fix this issue otherwise I don't have a phone.
Please help me, I'd appreciate if you can do your best explaining as I'm dumb in this matter, (just a beginner as said before) Also I'm attaching a picture of the error message being received when entering the system recovery through the "3 button method"
Thanks for all of your time, I DO appreciate your help and if you have any questions please just ask! I really need to fix this!

So first of all DON'T ever use CWM on our phone because its not really good to use! Always use TWRP.
Than second when you want to install a KK ROM like OMNI you have to update first via update.app to a KK firmware, then install TWRP and so on. This is all described in the first post in the OMNI thread.
Third and this is your problem now you have an modified build.prop in your ROM so the recovery will not update you have to push an stock unmodified build.prop via fastboot, that's the only method I think. How to push that with fastboot there you will find something on google.
Good luck

hi there. try to boot with adb shell in fastboot mode.
if you have b111,125,132,118 etc you need twrp for jelly bean.
after that install twrp recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik.
then reinstall stock recovery also via fastboot and then you can install update.app from dload.
if you want omni you have to update to official b510 because it repartitions your device, then flash omni via twrp.
don't use cwm again

Hey thank you for the quick response, could you send me a link with the steps? as I said before I'm really just a beginner so I don't understand much, I mean I don't know what adb shell is, and how to enter the fastboot mode. I'd appreciate if you could help me with that!
Thanks

sorry for the late response, i've been very busy.
you must have hisuite installed because you need the drivers.
so first you have to put your phone in download mode. you do this by starting your phone with vol down pressed. (it will remain on the ascend logo) and in windows you should see a quick removable device.
you need twrp recovery for jelly bean from here (the twrp2.6.x.x. IMG file ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534420
put the downloaded twrp2.6.3.3.img file in the folder which you'll extract from the attached zip of this post
in the fastboot folder shif+right click - start command windows here
type adb reboot bootloader - it will start the service then display error device not founde
type fastboot flash recovery "and the nameof the recovery ex. twrp2.6.3.3.img" - it should sai ok
safely remove device from windows and reboot your phone.
then you should be able to boot in twrp and clear system, data, cache, dalvik cache. this will let your phone without an operating system so either you install a custom jelly bean or put via twrp the stock recovery back (you cand find on the same page linked above) and then install stock jelly bean via dload folder.
P.S. from what I see in your screenshot, did you put an update.zip in hwouc folder on sdcard? hwouc is the folder where phone saves updates downloaded via ota then installs them from recovery.
are you sure you put update.APP in dload folder?
hope I helped

Hey, I was trying to follow the instructions, but somehow this is not working, I mean the hisuite is stock searching the drivers and once I type adb reboot bootloader it just says not found. but doesn't do anything.
As for the screenshot I found it online, it's the closest thing to the error presented, but I did put the UPDATE.APP on the dload folder
The error I get first it gives me some sort of error which disappears once the Android system recovery menu comes up. then the only thing I'm able to see says:
Checking Module MD5RSA.. OK
Checking Module CRC.... OK
Checking Module CURVER.... OK
Checking Module VERLIST....

I have a question, could it have something to do with the drivers not being installed? I mean I installed the hi-suite but it never installed the drivers, so I'm wondering if that could be the reason, or could it be due to the phone not booting and not having TWRP?

EDIT: I'm uploading the picture, I tried with administrator, still not working.
If it says device not found it means adb started but cannot find device.
It is ok because in download mode you cannot enable usb debugging so that adb sees it but if you type to flash the twrp.img it should work. At least on mine it did
Be sure you started phone in download mode by powering it on with vol down pressed. Press it longer just to be sure

Hello !
Please follow this steps from here !
Because adb not working, you can put your device in bootloader mode manually : press and keep at the same time for about 10~15 sec. power button and volume down , now your device are in bootloader mode and you can use "fastboot" command to flash stock/twrp recovery !
If your device was on Android JB you must use stock/twrp forAndroid JB, else if your device was on Android KitKat you must use stock/twrp for Android KitKat .
The next time when you want to flash something in your device please do your research more - because here on XDA you have almost all the answers to every question - sure, you need to spend some time to read - and not ultimately you can ask , if you are not 100% sure what to do
Good luck !

Dead Device

I have an issue that I cannot for the life of me fix. Last night my wife’s phone received the OTA update and her phone would not restart after that. Total B.S. move on ASUS’s part not to pull that update knowing the issues people were having. But anyways, here’s the rundown. I can boot into bootloader mode but I cannot get into stock recovery. I can, through a certain method get into CWM recovery and I can see the external SD, but I get errors when I try to flash an update or another entire OS. I’ve tried to bypass signature verification also and still cannot get anything to install. ADB will not sideload because it does not find my device, but the method of getting into CWM recovery is done through ADB so I’m confused there. Never have I had such a tough time restoring a bricked device. Samsung, no problem. Huawei, no problem. This POS I’m about ready to throw in the pool and call it a day. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Try flashing CN version and dont forget to disable zip signature and format everything before flashing

The only way I can flash is through the CMW recovery and everything I try to flash says cant install this package over newer build. But there's nothing on the device as far as I can tell. Also says E: Error in /external_sd status 7

Open ROM archive with app (for example WinRAR),
navigate to META-INF\com\google\android
unpack updater-script
open unpacked updater-script with any text editor (I use Notepad++)
remove first line with "(!less_than_int..."
save file
put unpacked file back in archive overwriting it
put rom package on sdcard
flash it via recovery
btw, Updating IFWI takes a 10 or more minutes so wait and don't panic
I'll try that when I get home

Try and install twrp recovery through adb you can find how in the forum....if you can install it it will be much easier to flash a room.

Still doesnt work. E: error in external sd blah blah blah, same as everything else.
@MikeyLee I had the same problem this morning, i spent a lot of time to fix this, i couldn't access the recovery, i tried to flash thetered recovery and do factory reset, flash again the rom, but nothing.
To fix the bootloop i just rebooted in fastboot mode, launced the adb from pc and format cache partition, thats all.
And the strange thing is that i didn't loose the data, Although I did the factory reset, that's mean maybe a corrupted cache partition that maked impossible to flash anything or do factory reset.

I've wiped cache multiple times. What steps did you go through?
Use the adb fastboot, command "fastboot erase cache"

You need the stock recovery as the same version of the firmware you're sideloading, flash the recovery through fastboot.
I was finally able to restore everything. Stock recovery, OS etc… Here’s what I did.
Using ADB and following the procedures here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/how-to-upgrade-cn-version-to-ww-t3101556 and using fastboot, flashed the recovery.img, boot.img and droidboot.img in that order. That gave me stock recovery back. Then I sideloaded with ADB the latest FULL firmware from here https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/13/Lk0Sg1Ulh0Ph49Hl/32/
It was the only version that did not error out in some form or another. Everything is back to normal.

Oneplus 3 do not boot after installing OxygenOS 4.0.2

Hello everyone!
My oneplus3 is actually running no OS and I'm having a boot loop.
I will try to explain what happened to me with the most details I can.
Before I ****ed everything up, I think I was running OxygenOS 3.28, not really sure about it but im 100% sure it was below 4.0, and it was rooted with TWRP 3.0.2 installed.
1) Today I had a pop up saying OxygenOS 4.0.2 was available (the official one that pops on the screen on boot) "Yay so coooool Nougat!"
1.1) I downloaded it, 1.4Go, then I pressed install
1.2) TWRP showed up, I didn't know what to do and that's where I ****ed up, I set my phone "factory new" in TWRP.
1.3) Phone restarted fresh new, I thought I had 4.0.2 but naaaaah would've been too easy so the official pop up showed again, I was still 3.28 I think.
1.4) Downloaded it once more, TWRP opened again, this time i was looking for the update i just downloaded in the "install" section. I browsed for quite a while and couldn't find it.
1.5) Master ****-up here: I tried to restore a backup. Then the bootloop happened. The black screen with "Oneplus" written in white. I was able to go back in TWRP by pressing power + volume down
1.6) Tried every kind of restore unsuccessfully, and tried ADB but it wouldn't load. Also TWRP said that I was running no OS when I wanted to turn off my phone for example.
2) I downloaded 4.0.2 from one plus website on my mac, and i flashed the official recovery instead of TWRP.
2.1) Transferred the update from my mac to my PC (seems important to me) and installed ADB & everything on both PC/O+3.
2.2) so adb worked in forceboot, i've been able to flash official recovery, tried once more to wipe & everything, but clearly I have no OS now, as TWRP said.
2.3) so i had the update in a folder (not a zip, probably due to the download being done from a mac), I made it a .ZIP with winrar, but "adb sideload update.zip" crashed at 0% everytime
2.4) looked at the archive then i noticed it was first a folder "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883" then inside it i had the content like "boot.img" & everything. So i zipped it again but without that first folder because I thought it was the problem, but it kept on crashing 0%.
2.5) restarted my PC, looked on several forums, but i couldn't find any fix. Now adb can't even open update.zip anymore, it fails even before 0%.. I tried naming it .zip.zip, keeping the name "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip", using a third party app to allow more RAM to the cmd app...
I've been trying hard for 4 hours but I still have a O+3 without any OS... My last idea is downloading "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip" from my PC so it downloads it directly .zip unlike on my mac...
I hope I said everything, sorry for the long post but i'm desperate.. thanks for your attention,
Valentin

Thank you for answering! unfortunately i've already tried that and my problem occurs when i try to sideload the update from adb recovery... "couldn't load 'update.zip'"
I dont really know what to do now because I think my only option here is to load the OS through adb as I can't boot my phone to get the update zip inside a specified folder to load it from internal storage.
Try to install the new official TWRP version i think it is 3.0.3-0 through fastboot. Boot up TWRP, wipe every partiton and copy the update.zip onto the phone. You can copy it by connecting it normaly via USB(like you would do in OOS) and install the zip file afterwards.

install stock recovery and then try installing official OS. Or install modded twrp 3.0.2-1.28 and then try installing Freedom OS 2.3 via sideload or through internal storage.

Stop fiddling with the ROM. Download the ROM afresh directly to your Windows PC/laptop. Check the md5. Then start experimenting with the other suggestions but don't again meddle with the ROM!

I read your post again and here are a few things:
* Don't update Stock OOS via "System updates" in Settings if you are rooted and have TWRP
* Back up your data before updating, wiping or doing something with your phone.
* For the ADB error, see the FAQ #17 in the guide I provided.
Now, try this:
Flash TWRP via fastboot > boot to TWRP > connect your phone to your PC and copy the full Stock OOS v4.0.2 OTA to your phone > reboot to fastboot and flash Stock Recovery.
It didn't touch the internal storage. So, try to install from internal storage when you are in Stock Recovery.
Let me know if it worked.
