Hi folks,
I tried to modify the platform.xml file to enable some write permissions. As far as I can tell, the app I used to modify the file didn't write it back correctly, and now my device is what might be called "semi-bricked."
Almost everything force closes, WiFi and write permissions seem to be broken, and I can't seem to get my Galaxy Nexus to communicate with my PC via USB.
I tried booting into CWM and mounting some /system, but I'm not sure how to access it since fastboot/adb don't seem to recognize the device.
I've also booted into some sort of recovery (fastboot?) that looks like the attached image. But I can't get it to do anything except boot up into the normal OS when I click the power button.
Any suggestions on how I can get access back to my device so I can repair/replace the platform.xml file and restore functionality to my phone?
Thank you very much!

No it is not bootloader. to access to the bootloader turn on your device long pressing power, volume up and volume down buttons together (don't use odin).
To access to cwm recovery from bootloader just press volume down button until you see "recovery" option, then press power button and it will boot in recovery.
which rom are you using?
solution: download the zip file of your rom and extract the file you modified, make a zip (if you can't make a flashable zip i'll post an attachment for you) and flash it in recovery

Thanks for the reply.
I actually did manage to get my PC to recognize the device via USB/adb and I copied the file back to the way it should have been. But that didn't fix anything, so I ended up doing a wipe/factory reset. Everything works now but things still seem a bit. . . off. For instance, it takes a while after my phone boots up before the WiFi will actually connect. It used to be connected almost immediately. And it takes a while for the alarm icon to load/show up in the notification area at the top. And I can't find the option in the settings anymore to use USB debugging. There are lots of little things like that, where it works, but it just doesn't quite work like it used to. . .
And to answer your question, I'm using the stock ROM that came with the Galaxy Nexus (from Google Play Store).

first: to make the "developer settings" appear go settings/About phone and tap on build number 7 times (google has hidden it in 4.2).
said that, you can:
1) fix permissions in cwm recovery (under advanced menu)
2) download a zip of your rom and flash it in recovery
3) if your bootloader is unlocked (you see a padlock when you boot your phone) you can flash a factory image to return completely stock.
4) if your bootloader is locked you can follow the 3) method but you will lose all your sdcard data.

Thanks again for the response.
I got developer settings to appear. Hooray! Fix Permissions is one of the first things I did to try to repair the platform.xml file when things were broken. I ran it again (but from ROM Manager rather than from CWM Recovery) and it didn't seem to have any effect on the weird sluggishness when first booting up.
My bootloader is unlocked. Will I have to root again if I flash one of those factory images? I'm currently backing up the contents of my "SD card" in case I have to completely wipe the entire thing.

well, you can firstly try to flash a zip of your rom (search on xda or google), it should fix.
the fastboot flash method is the google method so you won't need root (you just have to go into fastboot and connect your phone to your computer, doesn't matter if you have root, or a different rom/kernel/recovery).
If you don't know you to flash from fastboot try first to flash the rom zip.
having a backup of the sdcard is always a good idea :good:, i have 2 backups of mysdcard on 2 different hard drives of my computer and the pictures i take with the camera are automatically uploaded on my dropbox .

Weird things are happening. I was making a backup of the "SD Card" and partway through, things stopped copying over. And pretty much everything got erased from it. No big deal, since I'd already copied the important stuff first.
But CWM Recovery won't flash the zip file. It keeps telling me the update failed. I verified the hash on the zip I downloaded and it is the same as what is listed on Google's site. But it just won't flash in CWM.

I was in CWM Recovery. I was using the zip file that I extracted from the link you gave me for Google's stock ROMs (I can't post external links yet):
(Factory Images "takju" for Galaxy Nexus "maguro" (GSM/HSPA+) (with Google Wallet) --> Android 4.2.1 (JOP40D))
Strangely enough, after "failing" to flash the zip, I had to log into my Google account again because I had selected the option to Wipe Data and Cache, and most things seem to be working very well again. One odd thing I'm still noticing, though, is that some things don't seem to be syncing properly. For example, if I archive some of my email in the Gmail app, then log into Gmail on my PC, the mail is still unread in my inbox. My phone downloads the new mail just fine. But the changes I make on my phone (reading, archiving, deleting, etc.) don't seem to be syncing to anywhere else.
I'm downloading the zip you suggested. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

That is not a flashable zip! It is a factory image, it must be flashed via fastboot using a computer.

Just to be sure I explained myself clearly, I downloaded that Google provided factory image (a .tgz file) and inside it I found a zip file named "image-takju-jop40d.zip" which is what I tried to flash.
That said, I've just recently finished downloading the one you just suggested to me and I will give that one a try soon. Thank you again for your help. I really appreciate it.
I got it working again. The ROM you gave me failed signature verification in CWM Recovery, but I told it to install anyway and it worked. Thank you.
The problem I was having with Gmail not syncing was that I used Titanium Backup to restore my data, but because all the data from my "SD card" got erased, Titanium Backup itself lots its settings, so my Device ID was different. I guess Gmail relies on the device ID for syncing.
Thank you so much for your help! I learned a lot from the experience.
Glad i helped you. well this is one of the reasons why i don't restore data with titanium (especially system data).
and by the way:

To fully reset and install a clean rom using fastboot you have to extract the bootloader-blabla.img and radio-blabla.img files from the tar.gz archive and then extract the 4 .img files inside the zip (that is inside the tar.gz) and flash this 6 .img files connetting your phone in bootloader mode to your computer and using fastboot in terminal (in fact this procedure reinstall the recovery too).

ok, I'm assuming you mean ARHD 31.2. you also need to downlaod the boot.img below the rom. create a folder on your desktop and name it "boot". now extract the files from the downloaded boot rar into the boot folder on your desktop and go onto the next step.
from twrp recovery press "Wipe" then "advanced wipe". check ALL of the checkboxes from dalvik to system, there should be six ticks. now swipe to execute the wipe. when it has finished wiping press back to go back to the main twrp screen.
now press "mount" and then "mount usb storage", copy the HD rom to your sdcard. when it has copied press the back key. now press install and scroll to the rom you have just copied and install it.
when that has finished reboot into bootloader. when in bootloader make sure you can see "fastboot usb" on your phone screen.
now open the folder you created on your desktop and double click the file that relates to your PC operating system,I'm assuming you are windows so you will want the "install-boot-windows.bat" follow the onscreen instructions and it will flash the boot .img. now reboot your phone

Please read the how to install again, bro. It has been edited and should work fine for everyone now. Sorry for the inconvenience anyways.
Does this in any way allow us to install custom ROMS? As far as I know the Zenfone 5 does not have a custom ROM, since the bootloader is locked, right?
There is something called Asus unlock app in ww 17 firmware. I am guessing it has something to do with unlocking the bootloader. I am not on ww 17, so i cannot vouch for it.
I also saw a ROM called Sphinx for zenfone on a website.
great work. is rhere any sub-forum for asus zen5 ?

extract the recovery.tar located in the attached zip and rename the extracted file named "recovery" to "recovery.img". There you go. you got your desired image file. :good::good:

It's pretty confusing that twrp can't install zips. Well this twrp is basically for system and data backup.
There's a CWM, with that you can install zip files only by adb sideload. But backing up isn't working there.

as I said, you have to use adb sideload to install zip with CWM. This is the only way you can flash zips.

Come on, bro. It's because CWM isn't mounting the sd card, but when you push the zip by adb sideload method, the CWM doesn't have to mount sd card and that's why it works.
Try it. It worked for me. :fingers-crossed:
Perfectly working bro. just replaced the recovery to the latest twrp 2.7.0

Download this onto your phone.
Rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip (or just delete the TWRP_2.8.7.0_ part) and place it onto the root of your extSD.
Boot into bootloader, and select hboot if it doesn't do it automatically. Follow the prompts (vol up to flash, power button to reboot), and that's it.
After the recovery is flashed, delete the renamed file from your extSD. Otherwise every time you boot to hboot, it'll try to flash again.

If you were rooted already, you could use TWRP Manager from the play store.

Here is a new zip.
Use the instructions listed earlier (btw, the "0" is the number, not the letter).
I forgot to mention that your SDcard has to be formated to FAT32. EXFAT won't work. So be sure to do that first if you aren't already.

Do you have a microSD card in your device ? I can give you the file but it won't work without microSD

I do
Download attached 0P6BIMG.zip.
Put it on your microSD
boot to bootloader then select hboot or boot to hboot - it's your choice
hboot will scan the file and ask to volume up to update
volume up
finish, press power to reboot
remove the file from your sdcard
now you have TWRP 2.8.7.0 installed, done.
I will remove this file after you downloaded it because the android-info is for 6.12.709.4
Worked flawlessly.??Thanks for all the help.

No problem .. simple issue.
Remember .. on Marshmallow, never select to install SuperSU offered by TWRP, not working on MM.
You can try this to root : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3
Download SuperSU v.2.62-3-xxxxxx and install it in recovery. Again, never ever accept to root when offered by TWRP

Hi, I'm trying to do this same thing because I can't properly get ADB and Fastboot working on my windows 10 laptop. What's the "android-info" file, because I have the HTC One M8 on Verizon with Lollipop 5.0.1. The software number is 4.17.605.9. Thanks!
Test version of custom Team Win Recovery Project version 3.5.2_11.0 for OnePlus Nord N100 (Android 11 Only).
Everything works, except for:
MTP, .img firmware (for this you need to flash the full super.img image) and decryption of the Data section.
If anyone can modify this version of the recovery, we are very grateful to the future.
In the meantime, whoever wants to test or try it out, an image will be attached to the post. You can both boot (fastboot boot twrp.img) and flash (fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img and fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img).
I ask you to answer about all the problems found and write either to me personally or in this topic.
Is there any newer version of this? i find this one freezes the phone a lot. thanks
I ran this TWRP for the OnePlus N100 in fastboot and it worked but I can't see any files. I've installed Android 11.
I'm trying to install Magisk zip but in TWRP I only see the folder tree and no files.
Do I need to install TWRP and not just run it from fastboot?
If I need to install it do I pick slot a or b or both?
Thanks for any help.

do not install it. I installed it and it bricked my device. I needed to flash the stock recovery.

It installed fine on my BE2013. Not extremely useful without the missing features though.

Honestly I haven't even tried flashing anything because I already have magisk and i had some issues with safety net that I didn't want to risk having to fix again.

I didn't. I patched firmware boot image and flashed through bootloader. However I just tried flashing from TWRP.
I put the zip on external SD because this version doesn't support decryption of data partition. I then entered the "mount" menu in TWRP and mounted external SD and then tapped "select storage" and selected external SD.
You should be able to flash it now. It didn't give any errors, but i didn't uninstall magisk first so don't know how well it actually worked.
I also don't know if you can do anything without external SD or without root access already.

That's very interesting...
You've given me a few good ideas.
I'll report back and let you know if it worked.

If you go with the boot image method I wouldn't mind helping you out.

I had high hopes...
I fastbooted the TWRP, I didn't install it but I don't think that would make a difference.
I put the Magisk zip on the external SD card and from within TWRP I had no problem mounting the SD card but I still couldn't see any files, just a folder tree, and every folder empty.
When you run TWRP and mount the SD card can you see the files within the folders on the card?

Yes. It is important that you tap "select storage" and select "micro sd". After i did that i entered "flash" and immediately saw folders and zips on my external sd. In file manager i could see all files and even deleted some from there.
From root directory it's in /external_sd not in /storage.
Edit: Even though i also don't think installing TWRP makes a difference, i don't know if that's the case.
I should mention i used "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" not "... recovery_a" or "... recovery_b".
I don't know if this changes something with access
Honestly patching boot image is probably less of a headache. I can even send the images pre-patched if you want. Just one fastboot command
I'd need to know your phone variant and update version.

Well, I don't think you have the file I need.
My N100 is a model BE2015, build number 11.0.1BE82CF
I just fastbooted TWRP again and I'm mounting and selecting external_sd but still zero files.
If I flash the TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" is there a way to reverse it if I ever need to?
Again thanks for the help.

Well that might be the problem. That's a carrier locked phone, right? I'm not really familiar with those. I just know they are complicated to mod.
Not sure if you'll even be able to flash recovery and I'm surprised you can fastboot boot. But in theory, (at least on unlocked phones) if you can flash TWRP, you can flash stock recovery from firmware package.
I saw a quite extensive and fairly complicated guide to fully unlock a carrier phone here on XDA, but don't know how well it works or if you have followed any of these steps.
Edit: Also found this, looks like it works with your device: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4245499/

Let me start by saying my phone is both SIM unlocked and bootloader unlocked.
The post you linked is talking about the same phone as me but the last post in that thread has an ominous post from someone on Android 11 bricking after trying that. I'm not sure if that works if you're already on 11.
I still can't understand why the TWRP can't see files on my SD card. I think the two missing elements are the fact that you have TWRP flashed to your phone and you're rooted already.
I really can't understand why being rooted would have anything to do with TWRP seeing the files on the SD card so I'm leaning toward it being flashed that's the difference.
I would like to try flashing TWRP but I'm still unsure how, plus I'm guessing I have no recovery if that goes awry.
If I could just get the zip fashed it should patch my boot.img and give me root fairly easily.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to ways back if the TWRP flash goes bad plus just what command do I use to flash it and what happens to the other slot?
.
Okay, so...
I have now tried flashing stock boot and stock recovery on both a and b, verified no root access, then trying "boot twrp.img"
Still able to see files on micro sd.
I then attempted to flash magisk zip to verify this method working.
Didn't seem to work at first, but i think this was due to me messing something up with active slot. Fastbooted into twrp again and flashed magisk again and it works.
So, in short; This absolutely works on a BE2013, but this recovery might not play well with your BE2015.
OP asks about potential problems so maybe you'll have luck messaging him and you could investigate together? Just a suggestion.
I'm sorry, but I really don't know how to help with that model. It's problematic that there's no firmware payload available. If you find one or if you can somehow dump the boot image from the phone then I'd be optimistic and happy to help any way I can.
