[Q] Need help ASAP! CWM problem.

Hey guys, this is my first post on XDA forum.
So I've recently bought a nexus 7, I used wugfresh's root kit to root my nexus but then it didn't work... so I've tired the auto root by chainfire. Then I was able to get root. So then I went to playstore and downloaded rom manager to install CWM. I went to recovery then I get this message:
E : Cant mount /cache/recovery/log etc.....
I've tried everything I can do such as researching, changing recovery, and watching a youtube tutorial but nothing helped.
Thanks.

I would start over from scratch using fastboot to flash a factory image and stock recovery. If your bootloader isn't unlocked already, unlock it.

I tried to format using wugfresh couple times but still not working...

DO NOT USE TOOLKITS. They cause too many problems. Learn to do things the proper way using fastboot. I agree with the poster above, you should flash a factory image to start over. Download the system image from here- https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You need to unlock your bootloader-
Code:
fastboot OEM unlock
Then run the flash_all.bat. That will automatically wipe and reflash everything to get you back to square one.
Then you need to flash TWRP (don't use CWM)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
TWRP will automatically prompt you to flash SU when you reboot. Choose yes, reboot, then install SuperSU from play store, update the SU binaries, reboot again, and then you're done.

I highly advise you start from scratch so do what I told you to do in my last post. I promise if you do it the correct way (ie. without using toolkits) it will work.

Hey I tried the following:
oem lock
oem unlock
flash-all/flash_all.bat
flash recovery(TWRP)
but then when I reboot into TWRP I don't get a message saying you to install SU... And when I go to 'Install' in TWRP I don't see any internal storage available(0mb). With this error I cant install any roms which is boring.

Well then I don't know what to tell you at this point. I know Lollipop has been causing issues for some N7 users, but I also know that wugs toolkit causes problems too so honestly I'm not sure what the root of your issue is. I think someone with more experience with Lollipop is gonna have to chime in here, I'm still on 4.4.4 on all of my devices. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, you can only flash custom ROMs if you have a custom recovery.

Recovery not working.

EDIT: Resolved by following Naman Bhalla's Unbrick Guide.
I'm on latest Freedom OS community build right now. I have this problem where my OP3 won't boot into recovery at all. Trying to do it just kills it and only a very long power button press is able to revive it.
I have tried flashing the recovery via fastboot but that also doesn't work. Is there a way out of it? I can't flash zips. Are there factory images I can flash via fastboot that can replace everything? I don't care about the data. Any help would be appreciated.

flash modified recovery via fastboot
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

I have tried Garak's TWRP and the other TWRP. It doesn't change anything. Are there factory images like Google provides which can be flashed using fastboot?

i have the same problem, flashed the previouse version of Oxygen OS. But now i can't get in to recovery.. when i flash it trough fastboot everything goes ok, but when i want to go into recovery the screen is blank and the device does nothing.

Maybe read the OP of FreedomOS rom.

I have read the OP of Freedom OS. I understand that obviously I overlooked something because of which I ended up where I am but I am looking for solutions here. I did not dirty flash the community build if that's what you mean.

You need the modified twrp version, the only way to recognize it, it has a mouse cursor in the middle of your screen.

Yea, I used exactly the same thing to get back my device working correctly again. I missed the crucial information that modified TWRP was required.

BootLoop Need Help Please.

I've gotten my Google Pixel 2 XL in a bootloop. When I use Toolkit to flash Factory Stock Image I get "your device is not set" then it goes back to the main menu.

I'd download factory image, extract it and run flash-all.bat

I would suggest following the instructions listed on Google's site. You can also download the factory images from the same place: https://developers.google.com/android/images
I've bootlooped my phone as well (Google variant, not Verizon) and was able to restore it using the url I included above. One tip though: Back up your userdata (/sdcard) first. flash-all will wipe your userdata. Originally, I tried to restore the factory image by disabling 'wipe', but it wouldn't boot until I included 'wipe'
(I've never used toolkit though so I can't help you with that app.)

Did you unlock_critical?
When using flash-all it flashes the bootloader too. As far as I can tell you need to "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" before running "flash-all".

It's better if you give us specifics step-by-step on what you're doing and let us know if there are any steps where you're getting an error on, so we can help to better troubleshoot what you're doing wrong.
fastboot and bootloader mode is all you need. You should be running flash-all from bootloader, not recovery mode. Did you look at the url I posted earlier? Did you update your Android SDK files to the latest version?

After clean flash the January factory image my pixel 2 xl doesn't start

It says Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.And i press power button to continue, it's stuck in google' logo with an unlock below.
Please!Someone help me!

How did you do the "clean flash"? To do a complete clean flash, you need to install the latest factory image for your device (make sure you get the right one; there is a Verizon one thats different). Extract all the files into your folder containing adb and fastboot. Boot your device into the bootloader then run the flash-all.bat file. This process with completely wipe your device (including data). But if it doesn't boot from that clean of a flash then there is something seriously wrong.

Haha, no problem. But thank the guy who made that tool!

Not sure what steps you followed but what I did was; factory reset device from settings, rebooted, once start screen showed I rebooted to bootloader, fastboot unlocked device, fastboot unlocked critical, extracted image to my adb folder and clicked flash all, I saw the same screen you did so I rebooted to bootloader again, fastboot locked critical, fastboot locked device, rebooted and I'm back to it running like it's new out the box. I was having battery issues.

It seems that you messed some partitions, solving only this issue can lead you to other unexpected errors so the best now might be to restore your device to a normal state by flashing the stock rom through EDL, reboot to it and flash the rom taking care that not to relock it (untick the option in MiFlash tool).
From there start from the beginning booting to TWRP and following the normal procedure to flash superior as indicated in the thread.

I can help

Reboot to EDL and just flash the stock rom. Anyway which method did you do to try to flash Superior, Did you transfer the rom to your SD card? Did you formatted data before to try?

Connect your device to your pc and open command from adb/fastboot folder and type
Code:
fastboot oem edl
then open MiFlash tool and browse to your desired rom to flash, probably v10.0.3.0 works well with Superior, don´t forget to untick the option "relock" or "lock" at the right bottom of the app, now flash it, similarly as you said that you did it through fastboot.

The stock rom required is v10.0.9.0 or superior AKA rom stock, this will be your base, then to flash it we expect that the issue that you posted will be solved.
And then you could install the rom desired.
But go step by step.
No need to upgrade to the latest, flashing this rom for the first step you´ll be fine.
