Hi every one, i ****ed up my phone. i am much new to android phones and dont know anything about development. 1 week ago i got a second hand phone from a friend. i dont know whether it was rooted, unlocked etc. but Teamwin was installed on it. i came to know this when i factory reset that phone.
then i received a notification to update it to marshmellow. i downloaded the update and restart the phone to install this. team win opened. i dont know what exactly i did but i wiped everything on fastboot including system, internal storage, cache etc
now my mobile is stuck to white sreen with htc logo. it does not shut down only restarts when i press volume up and power button.
when battery is finished, i plug the charger it momentarily shows teamwin but with lock on it. means i cant access teamwin on it.
plzzzzzz help me what to do??
thanks in advance.
Whats your device id A5_ dig or dwg...????
as soon as it goes black screen from vol up+power switch to vol down+power and hold until it goes to hboot.
then you can go to recovery to install a rom (put it on an external sd card and insert into the phone before choosing recovery)
if you don't have external sd, plug it into pc to power on, you should be able to get to internal storage on pc to move rom .zip to the phone.

I have registered my account to ask this question. I have been flashing roms since I bought desire a month ago. But this time I flashed the chinese version of MIUI rom from their official website. They didn't even mentioned on their site that this is Chinese and official version of the rom.
My question is, how can I connect my USB cable to connect to the computer and then copy some other rom to my memory card. ( I don't have memory card reader/adapter). I tried to connect it but it's showing charging icon on the status bar, I then tap on that icon and there were some on/off options I tried to change them in both states but the device is still not connecting to the computer in USB mode. I am bit afraid because I am experiencing this strange problem that I haven't found fix on the net.
P.S: Sorry for my English and please reply urgently I can't even use my phone with this chinese version.
Why don't you just go to recovery (just power off phone and then while holding volume down press and hold power) and mount sdcard from there?

I have to connect my phone with pc, so I can put another rom on the sd card and then flash it. Is it possible to do this via recovery? If yes please guide me how do this.
Thanks
Yes, it is possible... Like i said, turn off your phone (if you're not sure how take the battery out and put it back again), then while holding the volume down button on the side of the phone press and hold power button... Phone should turn on, screen should be white with phone info on the top and Norad skating at the bottom of the screen - this is called bootloader... After several seconds some check-ups should be done and you should be able to move through menu by pressing volume up and down... Navigate to recovery and press power button to select it... Now the screen should change and you should be taken to recovery whichever you have installed... From there you can either restore a nandroid backup if you previously made it or toggle usb/mount usb or whatever it says and while in that menu connecting phone you should be able to access sdcard... if there is something you can't follow ask...

Thank you so much, I use the option Mount USB storage and put my rom on the card and I have finally come back to some English rom. Thanks it worked.
My phone was running fine till yesterday night. I was using RSK SE Odexed rom with cm7r2 hboot. Today morning i got up and pressed the power button to turn on the screen (i didnt switch it off last night). But all i get into is the hboot menu. It checks for PB99IMG.zip file in the sd card as usual. But non of the keys work (Power or volume) even after the file check. The only thing i can do is remove battery. but pressing the power button does the same thing. Tested my sd card on another device which showed my fat32 system was fine but the ext4 parttition is empty (It shouuld not be empty). i tried flashing recovery by a PB99IMG.zip file. but the phone did not detect the zip file. Tried connecting the phone to pc and use fastboot and adb commands. but the laptop does not detect the phone (tried 'fastboot devices' and 'adb devices'). Both didnt show any device. google usb drivers and htc drivers are installed on laptop. dont know what to do??? please help......
Are you able to enter into recovery?
Try removing the battery, wait for 15-30mins, put it back and press power and vol down buttons simultaneously.

waited for 30 minutes but still the same problem...
Hmm iam thinking you probably should try and use another sd card...and start over all again.

tried with another sd card. but it doesnt even search for PB99IMG.zip files on the new card. inserted my old sd card and it searches for those files at least. the same hboot menu appears, doesnt matter if i press power or power+volume down.

you need card max size 2gb to recognize the file PB99IMG.
Treid with a 32 gb card. placed the PB99IMG.zip for stock hboot at the root of the sd card. started the phone (both ways: (1)power and (2)power + volume down) and straight off the hboot menu was visible. it scanned the sd card and when u get an option to flash the file it was writen
"Parsing....
(1)Bootloader"
below which i think there should be an option for- volume down(...) or volume up(...). But there was no such option.:crying:

Tried it, no luck. Stops half way. I just flashed RUU and now I'm running stock. Will root it again when I have more time

All methods in the troubleshooting guide require at least fastboot and adb working...
But for me even that's not working...
Ok so first, let me say I know I done goofed. What happened was my phone (Note 2 GT-N7100) started to choke up a lot, battery life was ridiculously low and then suddenly my phone's language was constantly being switched to Italian.
I thought it might be a virus but a scan couldn't find anything. I deleted almost all apps in hopes it would stop but the phone went on with these weird glitches. In an act of desperation, I decided to wipe out everything and go back to factory settings.
Thing is my phone is rooted and I had the X Note Rom installed. When I tried the factory reset on TWRP, it still went back to the X Note Rom. That's when I dun goofed. I deleted EVERY ****ING THING in a desperate and stupid move.
Now when I press Volume Up + Home + Power I can get to Recovery Mode but I ain't got **** to install. If I press Volume Down + Home + Power I get into Odin mode but get a "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" message that just hangs there forever.
To top it off, my computer won't recognize the damn phone anymore. Am I ****ed? Can I get myself out of this mess?! Please HELP!!!
Take it easy, download a custom rom, transfer it to the SD card, enter recovery and Flash it.
Since you can't connect the phone via USB, you need a SD card reader (if you have a laptop you 100% have it)
OR
You could flash the stock ROM through Odin, but it's more risky in my opinion. I would go with the 1st method

Hi.
I have followed the instructions on this thread to root the GT-I9190 but I am stacked on Step 7.
The procedure is as:
Copy the "S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip" to your device SD card.
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.
Connect USB cable, and press volume up.
Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button.
Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-serrano3gxx.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished.
After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode.
Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.
After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.

The phone does not boot into recovery mode. I have tried several times to press hold volume up and home buttons immediately after the phone vibrates when re-starting, but the phone just starts normally.
The phone applications cannot access the SD card to save files. When I try to save a file (from Internet or Titanium Backup) it says "No SD card present".
I can access the card from the file explorer and I access to pictures, music, etc. But the applications cannot find the SD card when they have to save a file.
- Should I go to step-8 and run "S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip" from the SD card?
I will appreciate some help.
Thank You
ps: I am sorry for asking again. I am not receiving answers at the section for developers, so I have decided to ask at this section of Help & Troubleshooting

Switch the phone off, than press power+vol up+menu simultaneously, when the phone vibrate (powering on), let go. If it doesn't enter recovery you not doing it right, there's no other answer to that.
As for phone not reading SD card, what type of SD card is't?

As I understood the instructions, I was pressing power+vol up+menu AFTER the phone vibrates, but you made it clear that it is before.
So simple, but since It is the first time I do this, I didn't want to experiment

No problem. Not to worry, no harm can be done by trying to enter the recovery mode, either than you may 1. Drain a lot of battery or 2. wipe user data which is like a factory reset.
Please press the 'Thanks' button if I helped in any way.
Hello Frends i took TWRP for s4 mini but now I cannot boot to recovery and also to download mode Please help me.. step by step
My s4 mini restart with logo &doesnt enter recovery mode,pls hlp
So funny story. I was trying to install a different ROM onto my M9 and I went to recovery mode (I have TWRP Recovery) and then wiped The device which got rid of the existing ROM and then i turned off my M9 so i could remove the external SD card and then put on the new ROM i wanted. I re-inserted the SD card and then turned on the device (like a dumb ass) then realized that I had no OS installed so it's currently stuck at the white screen with the green HTC logo and the classical red text because it's rooted. I tried to hold the power button for like 2 minutes, tried the power and volume down button and power and volume up button. Nothing seems to break it out of this screen and I have no idea what to do. right now i'm thinking I should let the battery die and then charge it and then hold the power button and volume down to put it into download mode so i can put it back into recovery to install my ROM. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

U are posting in the wrong section.
Moderators will move it to "help + q&a".
Now the answer: hold power and volume up for 10 seconds, phone will reboot.
Then quickly vol down and power for recovery.
