Root Gone Wrong

Hi,
I have been trying to root my phone to install ARHD. I installed the boot.img file from the downloads section, installed ClockworkMOD, copied the ROM to the SD Card and unlocked the phone using HTCDEV.com.
However, now when the phone tries to boot, the lock screen appears, freezes then the phone reboots. Ican get into CWM Recovery but I can only see an Android folder, Lost.DIR folder and My Documents folder. I cannot see the ROM.
What can I do to get out of this Bootloop?

fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
boot into recovery
install zip from sd card
choose your rom
install
viola
any of these steps that you not make? If you can follow through all these steps you should be good to go
good luck

Thanks for the quick Reply shadehh!
I can follow the instructions up to Install Zip from SDCard. When I choose that option I can only see the following directories:
Android/
LOST.DIR/
My Documents/
I've searched through all 3 directories and no sign of the ROM. I had originally copied it to a new folder call ROMS on the root of the SD-Card.

Ah this looks crappy, your phone i think is not in big **** just yet. Looks like you've got to find a way to push your rom into your phone and i think i just recalled something...
I know this is written in the One S section but i see no reason why this shouldn't work with the HoX
What this basically does is it lets you put a rom on your sdcard through CWM, this i hope helps you get back on track : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

try putting across again go in to recovery and mount the storage and drag and drop it over again see if that helps

adb will not detect the device as I cannot get into the operating system to turn on USB debugging
when I mount the SDCard, my PC still cannot see the drive so I cannot copy anything across.
Any other ideas?

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html <-- you have that installed?
install following packages:
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform Tools
Google USB Driver Package
uhhh, then check if your device gets detected?
Also have you got HTC Sync installed?
EDIT: If this doesn't help then i'm clueless. Hope someone else can help you

Phone wont even charge now. Think my next stop is the nice man at the Vodafone shop.

If you have latest cwm 5.8.4.0 then you can charge in recovery. You can also mount your sdcard to put the ROM back on there in cwm
Go on mounts menu then choose mount USB storage then plug to PC.
It should appear in computer and you can copy back over

Thankseveryone for your assistance.
What I had to in the end was to flash stock recovery . This allowed me to then factory reset which got the phone up and running, albeit, in stock, but unlocked.
Now, do I bite the bullet and load a ROM on or be thankful that I dodged a bullet?:laugh::laugh:
Again, thank you all sooooooo much!!!!!

[Q] Can't flash ROM - No OS installed

Hi,
I'm trying to install paranoid rom for galaxy nexus.
I updated the twrp recovery and I checked all this option and then I wiped the smartphone
Dalvik Cache
Cache
System
Data
External SDCard
USB--OTG
now I want copy the .zip rom files into the sd and install it via twrp but I don't know how to copy the .zip into the sd.
If I try to plug the device to computer I cannot see it.
I can access to twrp recovery and explore the file system so I think there is a way to copy some files into the phone.
What can I do?
thanks for help

Do you still able to boot into recovery. Try installing ROM via fastboot

If adb drivers are installed correctly, u can flash ROM zip via sideload
Code:
adb sideload rom.zip
Also you can push files to sdcard via adb
Code:
adb push xyz.zip /sdcard/xyz.zip

ok, I solved using fastboot
but I have a new problem now... I can't boot into recovery (isn't this ironic?)
I flash the twrp for galaxy nexus in this way:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery......
and it seems flashed but when I try to boot into twrp it failed and reboot the operating system
I also tried to flash twrp via gooManager... it says "recovery has been installed" but I get the same problem

OS is completely gone on my HTC one X

Hi!
I lend my HTC one X to my friend that said that he would boost my phone up to KitKat 4.4.4. But he returned it completely blank. I am pretty sure he erased the whole system.
When I start the device it stops at the HTC logo. I am able to enter the bootloader and it says "Unlocked". When I enter "Recovery" the device loads a grey screen with a couple of options. The main title is "ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.8".
When I connect my phone to the PC it shows the device ( H: ).
Please help, how do I restore my phone? I don't care if it is rooted or not. I just want it to work again.
Kind regards,
Alexander

you can restore your phone either by nandroid backup or by flashing a custom rom..

I am not so good at this. Did I not have to have made a backup in nandroid before things got out of hand? The storage seems to be totally deleted. How do I put in an OS again?
I tried to use adb but I might have done it wrong because my PC says that there are no devices found. Are you able to help me?

aaah, okey.
How do I transfer nandroid to my phone? I'm unable to connect my phone to my PC, it makes the sound that the PC found my phone but it does not pop up anymore. Tried to search on google and when I looked in sdcard/clockworkmod/ the folder is empty.
Do you have a guide on how to use this? I do not know if it is possible but i am afraid that my friend has erased all data.

Thank you for a good guide but I got stuck on 'Go to cwm recovery and mount your internal storage'
What I have available in the main menu (IMG_1) is 'mounts and storage'. When I select that I have the options from IMG_2 and IMG_3. If i Choose mount USB storage the device shows IMG_4 but nothing happens.
Am I doing it wrong? The only thing that happens is when I connect my device to the computer, it makes the sound as if it was found.

Try flashing this recovery. http://d-h.st/nmh
Download the image and put it in the onexroot folder.
In fastboot mode, type fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery/file>.img
Did this because the cwm mount never worked for me too :/

The sd card MUST be FAT32. If you have a 32gb or less sd card your ok otherwise you need to format your sd card FAT32 then you can copy the stock firmware on and flash it that way.

Hard Brick Nubia z11 mini HELP

Hello friends
I had a problem with the mini z11, I have a hard brick.
I wonder if there is any recovery rom, or if the official serves me.
I can flash by nubia Toolstudio?
the terminal does not turn black screen on or enters recovery, flash a rom confusion mini z9.
I need help please, if you recognize the terminal QHUSB_BULK is hope.
Thank you for your interest, Greetings

Still a little bit early for Z11 Mini...
Did you unlock bootloader, rooted and installed some recovery?

Bricked device nubia z11 mini
Hi Guys,
I was looking to update the Nubia to v 2.04 from 1.40 so I used flashify to flash the stock recovery (worked earlier) but the system went dead.
I used tool studio to get the recovery back but now it is not reading my internal storage where the files are kept, it suggest mount error with system, data etc .... so what could be a way forward?

Then u flash the rom.
Before flashing the rom, wipe everything expect internal storage and sd card

Need persist.img
Hi,
Have got to know persist.img is corrupt. Hence, flashing is happening but no booting even twrp is not helping. Persist.img is usually found in fastboot img of the rom which helps to install rom in fastboot mode. Kindly do let me know if I can find fastboot.img of Nubia z11 mini.
Thank you

Hello guys,
i have the same brick mode as the op.
The system doesn't recognize the mobile, it only shows it as QHUSB_BULK and it keeps disconnecting.
What are the steps to follow from the pc?
I found somewhere one software called one click unbrick but when i try to install the drivers with it it says that "the system policy has been modified to reject unsigned drivers".
If i can take it to the place where the phone is recognized as a storage from the pc then i can take it from there.
Thanks

Unbrick and downgrade
I once brick my nubia the same way. BUT NOW ITS ALIVE AND WORKS FINE (sulking why didn't I bought the ZUK 2 even though at the time i bought z11mini they were similarly priced)
UNBRICKING:-
ALL you have to do is download the same firmware which was installed prior to the rom to which you downgraded to [ simply put if you had v2.40 running before and tried to install v1.40 then download the v2.40 rom for flashing), once downloaded {USE A PC OR MAC TO DOWNLOAD THE ROM OR ELSE IT MIGHT GET CORRUPT} copy it to the root of an sd card(2gb upto 32gb; sdxc cards may not work), insert the sd card into the phone , then press and hold the power button until the phone reboots, as soon as you see the bootlogo press and hold vol- and power keys simultaneously, you wold boot into nubia recovery now select update from sd card confirm and let it install as soon as update finishes your phone will boot back up normally. [UP TILL THIS POINT NO FILES WOULD BE LOST].
NOW YOUR PHONE WILL BE WORKING AGAIN.
DOWNGRADING:-
YOU DON'T NEED ANY EXTERNAL SOFTWARE FOR THIS
JUST DOWNLOAD THE ROM U WANT TO INSTALL AND PLACE INTO SD CARD AS ABOVE.
TAKE A BACKUP AND SAVE ON A PC, ANOTHER PHONE OR ANOTHER SD CARD{not the same one} OR ANYWHERE ELSE SAFE cause after this everything inside your phone will be DELETED.
BOOT INTO RECOVERY as STATED ABOVE.
-ATTENTION- DON'T install the rom as yet.
FIRST WIPE cache and data.
SECOND- INSTALL THE ROM SIMILARLY AS PRESCRIBED ABOVE.
THE SYSTEM WILL INSTALL AND REBOOT.
ENJOY{but why are you so eager to downgrade your system, i was once as well but after downgrade to lollipop.....nothing......performance was same as on Marshmallow.
ADVICE- for some reason the ota updater never shows any new updates, you will have to download updated roms from nubia website to install using recovery{the app has option to apply local update but it does nothing and gets stuck on nubia logo, u will have to restart your phone after that}, as long as you are installing updates u don't need to wipe data and cache and also your files will remain intact. BUT TO THIS ONLY EXCEPTION IS V2.06, on this you do not need to wipe data and cache but the rom itself will wipe all data on your phone so be careful. :good:
