Hello,
I'm new to the OneV phone (CDMA), coming from the awesome Rezound. Starting from stock, I used Hasoons One V all in one kit. I'm unlocked and using TWRP 2.2. I first wiped my phone, installed the Nov 18 aokp primoc unofficial, flashed gapps-jb-4.2-V1-20121117-signed, and then flashed the extracted boot.img from the same rom using the command prompt fastboot flash. I did this process a few times now, but I still get stuck at the loop screen.
I've also tried flashing Jellyboot5.
Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? I've flashed roms many times on the Rezound, but it was so much simpler!

Thanks for responding. So if the kernal is a .zip file, I should rename the entire file "boot.img" correct? I don't extact the boot.img file from the zip...
it will be in .img format by default if not try opening it and see!

Right, I figured the boot.img inside the kernal .zip is all that is necessary. I still can't figure out where I'm flashing wrong. I was able to successfully flash my nandroid of my stock.
1. In TWRP, I wiped cache/davilk, system, and did a factory reset
2. Then flashed a stable/nightlies version of rukins AOKP jellybean
3. Flashed gapps (also tried w/o flashing this)
4. In the bootloader, I flashed the boot.img in cmd (tried from rom .zip and jellyboot)
5. After phone restarted it was at the stuck at the boot loop "initiating swagger" *sigh*
Maybe its the rom version I'm using? Can you or someone recommend a good rom to start off with along with what kernal I should use?

I was able to figure out that I needed to flash a older RUU to be able to flash a custom rom. :laugh:

Did you happen to install an ota update when you still had your stock rom on your phone?
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------
ok.... never mind
Can you please elaborate on what you mean by flashing an older RUU? I am stuck at the same screen you speak of. I just got the phone and started flashing away. PRIMOC if that matters. Thanks!
It's to restore your phone to stock ...if you got a bootloop or your phone isn't booting

Thanks for the reply. You are saying to restore my phone using the back up I created using the recovery then reflash?
Or are you saying to download a factory restore and flash that? From what the op states he needed to flash an older build.
---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
so I erased my rom, reflashed with the same image and it now boots into the rom. I am seeing a lot of issues though. The android keyboard has FC numerous times. The home button only seems to function one time, it asks which launcher to use, I select on then it will not work as a home button again. Also the button that shows all open application is opening context menus (the ... you see on some apps) instead of showing recent apps I tried reflashing again with the same results. Thoughts/comments?
are u cdma?
EDIT: Issue I has was unrelated to this thread I believe. If anyone else experiences what I described read this post, I outline everything I did and how to fix it (different gapps file )

Guys,
I'm a newbie to rooting and unlocking world, and I think have done too many things to screw my phone as much as I can.
Device is a PrimeOU based. (India)
Trying to recall the series of accidents that I committed since last 24hrs on my HTC ONE V.
1. Unlocked the bootloader successfully.
2. Rooted the device successfully and installed CWM and copied the file mentioned in this post
3. Entered the recovery mode, backed up my previous ROM from CWM.
4. Flashed the ROM directly (Later I came to know there were a some other steps missed here).
5. And of course, post flashing CYANOGENMOD 10 was stuck in the boot screen.
6. Went back to recovery mode and here I made a biggest mistake, I partitioned the SD card as the CWM logs were showing that one of the ext partition could not be mounted. Because of this, I LOST ALL MY BACKUP DATA.
7. Again, referred one more post from here .. tried copying files, played around but nothing worked.
8. Flashed again from some windows based tool (Can recall its name, its not in my browser history as well). Installed TWAR.
9. Started searching for the stock ROM and found one here
Tried to recover the base ROM but no luck.
10. Found that I should try with RUU to resume my stock ROM. relocked phone flashed the image again.
I see error 155, which says that I should try with another RUU version, but the verdict is that hboot version is older.... came through another post that at this moment there is no RUU version available that suits the hboot compatibility as of now.
Conclusion:
I have now understood, that should not have messed up so much with my phone without any proper education on android rooting unlocking.
Device is now flashed with some version of RUU and recovery mode takes me to default android recovery screen which again reboots the phone.
Is my device bricked? Can we get it back functioning normally? Can we try the below?
1. Is there any way I can recover the deleted backup on my SD card and try recover again? Does the card get formatted completely if a new partition is created.?
2. Should I take it to an authorized service center? Its no longer in warranty, so they will always be happy to get things done for a price.
3. Should I take it to an unauthorized shops who can get back my phone working?
Any help is highly appreciated.Please let me know if you have any other advice too...
Thanks in advance,
Sumanth

If you can't use a ruu, then you need a custom rom. In order to do that you need to unlock and root again first

Thanks, first of all, happy to hear that phone is still alive.
I just do not want to mess up any further, unless I get a clear step by step process to root it again.
where can I get such descriptive steps that start from ABC....?

Hi Nooby - Successfully unlocked and rooted per the steps in the thread. Now my phone boots up and stops in the CYANOGEMOD boot page, which I had tried to install at the first instance. (Similar case just before loosing my backup)
I shall continue with this stock ROM for ONE V mentioned in the post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647052
Observations:
1. I see that CWM or TWRP is one of the requirements for this to work, but I have lost either of these after flashing multiple times...
2. Instructions also say that I should use "Sense kernel Titanium-KISS or Stock kernel".
3. There was an earlier failed attempt to install a CYANOGENMOD 10 but not sure if I'm using a Stock Kernel.
Please advice.
Regards,
Sumanth

Ok this is twrp recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721749 download it and put it in fastboot folder, then connect the phone in fastboot mode, open cmd, locate your fastboot folder and type fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img, then all you need to do is flash the right kernel and your phone will work normally
---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------
If now you have cm10, download this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954967 and put it in your fastboot folder, connect your phone in fastboot mode, locate the folder in cmd and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, when you type that you should see on your phone a loading bar on top right of the screen. When this is done, just reboot your phone and wait some minutes for the rom to boot
---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------
ok so, now iim on the computer i can write properly u.u now that you have unlocked and rooted again, the first thing you do is flash the twrp recovery via fastboot (i guess you know how to do it if you already unlocked and rooted). once the recovery is installed you can go 2 ways:
1) Use sense rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647052 this one is very good, almost like stock rom. In order to do that you follow these steps:
a) download TITANIUM KISS kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1765687
b) put the kernel in fastboot folder and flash it, you need to open cmd, locate your fastboot folder, connect the phone in fastboot mode and type fastboot flash boot nameofkernel.img, on the screen you will see the loading bar (it's very quick), once its done, reboot into recovery.
c)from the recovery, go to advanced->mount usb storage, the computer will open your phone folder, just take the rom and copy it to your sd card, when it's done copying, just do unmount usb storage.
d)from the recovery, do wipe->factory reset, it will delete the old rom on your phone
e)now you are ready to flash the rom, from the recovery goto install and select the rom from the list.
It will take like 5-6 minutes to boot the first time, so dont worry and wait.
2) Use cyanogenmod10, then you need hellboy kernel and the rom of course. steps:
a)download hellboy kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954967
b)same as above
c)same as above
d)same as above
e)same as above
this will also take some minutes to boot the first time. Once its booted you wont have play store and stuff (only on cyanogen, sense has it already), so you need to do this:
f)mount usb storage
g)download gapps from here http://www.mediafire.com/?k2cb1trw8s2oio2
h)copy gapps to your sd card
i)reboot into recovery and install them, reboot the phone and you are all done!

Flashing with Sense kernel Titanium-KISS will suffice before I install the myONEv RC9.0 FX+ ROM?

I all, I've recently been having issues with my HTC One X and the Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity/range.
I've found that my wireless headphone need to be almost on top of the phone to connect, and the wifi drops to only just connected whilst other phones can sit just beside with full signal.
This has not always been the case, it may have been related to flashing the XM Kernal, but cannot be certain.
Since I have flashed CM10.2 nightly and understand it flashes it's own kernal, but I'm still experiencing these issues.
Can someone help?
Thanks, Joss.

The steps I've taken so far is to flash the boot.img via fastboot.
Installed the CM10.2 .zip via CWM Recovery.
And the appropriate clearing of cache and data etc.
The rom is booting just fine and works a treat, except for the low quality wifi and bluetooth.
Have I missed something else?

I had XM installed, I thought by flashing CM though I would go back to it's default kernel.
I assume that would be a better setup...doesn't it automatically override XM when I flash the CM rom?

sorry it took a while to reply I couldn't type properly for laughing, don't be offended but "where are the cakes" is my signature lol. and yes you can do that with s-on also, although if you are s-on and flash the xm boot image via fastboot installing the rom afterwards should not overwrite the xm boot.img. anyway do what i said, with installed rom, flash xm boot, then install modules in recovery(the xm zip file)

How is that your signature...it's only on some of your replies?
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I followed your instructions correctly, but now CM won't boot...whenever this happened previously, it was because I had not re-flashed the CM boot.img.
Should I have done this, or are you trying to leave the XM boot.img there?
Did u flashed the cm version of xm kernel or the sense version?

ok from the beginning, download Xm kernel aosp version, copy the boot image from the downloaded zip into your fastboot folder.
next go into recovery and format these four, system, data, cache and sdcard.
now mount usb storage and copy the the cm rom.zip onto sdcard and then the whole xm zip file that you downloaded.
now boot into boot loader and do these exactly without the quotes, and when you press enter after each command make sure it says "okay" so you know it actually worked. "fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then again "fastboot erase cache".
now reboot recovery and install the rom but DO NOT REBOOT.
now clear dalvik
next, while still in recovery, install the xm zip file that you copied over with the rom.
again clear dalvik and then reboot.

Hey guys!
First sorry if this is wrong subforum, or there is an anserw for my problem. I spent about 5 hours on trying to do this.
Firstly I'm a noob in this subject.
I want to flash rom X - Gamer or True Smooth. ( are they any good?)
And I flashed generic .62 on my phone (Xperia Arc ) but I don't know what to do next.
I tried doing all those drivers, CWM, kernel things but I'm just lost now.
I can't learn all the things in one day..
Can someone give me links to best versions of things I need and say step by step how to do it? (or link to good toutorial)
Thank you so much for any help guys!

you need first flash kernel, then you must open cwm and set your zip file of rom from your sd card
So I need to paste it on SD card in zip? K.
When I'm trying to flash it in fastboot mode that appears "ERROR - This action can only be done in fastboot mode"
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
You have to place the ROM .zip file on the SDcard.
Depending on the bootloader status, you have to either install custom kernel for CWM Recovery or install one in system partition, latter being more riskier.

Yup I've gott my bootlader unlocked.
So what next after placing .zip file on SD?
"- Copy ROM setup file to SD card
- Enter CWM and choose the setup file
- Follow instruction in AROMA installer, customize the ROM as you like and click Install. NOTICE: in Extra section, unchecked item means you don't like it to install with this ROM, so it will be removed if it's already existed (in case you re-install the ROM)"
These are isntructions, so how do I intall CWM correctly?
Phone is rooted, I've got recoveyx on it and i installed CWM for GB. But I can't acces recovery mode. I spammed back button, volume down, hold it..
Please help..
If you have unlocked bootloader, get custom kernel for GB (LuPuS or DooMKernel), flash it in fastboot mode, get into the recovery, factory reset, wipe /system and then install zip from sdcard and choose the ROM zip.
Having unlocked bootloader and then rooting phone, installing CWM via an app is useless, time-wasting and caused many issues.
Okay I'm lost again.. I flashed Lupus and my phone didn't want to start. Blue led flashed but screen was still black..
now I've got android version 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.62) generic.
Bootloader is unlocked (100% sure)
Which kernel should I choose to make this work?
Sorry I'm so nooby in this subject

K I kindof sorted everything. Thx for help!
My tablet kept locking on the SAMSUNG startup screen. Previously, I had to do a hard reset. It just happened again. Now I think the original ROM image is lost or damaged. I can do a hard reset, but upon reboot, it does not load the factory image and ask the new computer questions. I have the Wi-Fi SM-T520 and can't find a stock ROM for it.
I downloaded the GraveD ROM 3.0 zip file. But I don't know how to install it. I tried to install update from external device. I put the ZIP file on the sd card and selected the file, but that did nothing. I am very much a beginner at this.
Any advice?

Are you on a custom ROM? Do you have a custom recovery?
- If yes, just download CM12.1 for picassowifi from here: http://cyanogenmod.altervista.org/ and flash it (and gapps ARM-5.1) and enjoy!
If you are pure stock in all respects:

I am running a stock ROM. I assume that I have to root the device first. I downloaded USB_Drivers_1.6.27.0.exe. Win10 will not let me run it "This publisher has been blocked from running software on your machine.". I did some searches and cannot get it to run.
I also tried skipping this step and tried running CF-Auto-Root-picassowifi-picassowifixx-smt520.tar.md5 from the sd card using external option and I get a signature error.
If I use Odin3-v3.10.6.exe, the program "sees" the usb in ID:COM. However after a long wait it reports Fail.
I also tried installing GraveD_V3.0 for the sd card and got the same signature error.
I am close to giving up!
Saw a link to fix the win10 error. Tried it?

Also see if you can install win7 in virtualbox and use that.
I remember having a hard time finding the right drivers myself for the download mode. But once i was able to get twrp installed on it, i am free

Before anything else, please download the three things you need to resurrect your tablet. With Cyanogenmod download servers gone, there's no telling when (and if) you might be able to find another mirror. I was lucky enough to find one myself by intense googling
CM12.1 final nightly (the BEST ROM) for SM-T520
https://archive.org/download/cmarchive_nighlies/cm-12.1-20161016-NIGHTLY-picassowifi.zip
OpenGapps.org -> ARM, 5.1, pico (or whichever variant you want)
TWRP custom recovery for SM-T520 - Download link and instructions available here:
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxytabpro101exynoswifi.html
You don't need root to put TWRP, do it through bootloader (you need Odin and drivers for it at the minimum). Follow instructions very precisely under the section "Odin Install Method (No Root Required)"
I really hope you can bring back the tab to life and get CM12.1 on it. I can feel your pain as I went through the same

Also found this (says works with Win10):
http://www.odindrivers.net/
Remove all previously installed Samsung drivers and/or Odin tool before installing from here.

LOL, one more thing. Be sure to copy the CM12.1 zip and opengapps zip to your internal storage (or SD card) first. So that by the time you are able to install TWRP successfully and can get inside it, you already have everything you need.
Once in TWRP, do an advanced wipe, wipe out cache/dalvik/system/data (NOT internal storage and SD card). Then "Install" and choose the CM12.1 zip FIRST, then "add more zips", choose opengapps zip second; then flash zips; reboot.
hello
i think if you have a problem with a recovery you must install an other recover
cfautoroot is ok for that
before copy a rom zip on an sd card
then install cfautoroot with odin the tablet will boots on cmw recovery
then install a new rom and a new recovery
in cfautoroot you have drivers and recovery
don't use drivers from kies or smart switch
regards
