[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sellmanb:
I have been trying to use the "simple" method described (method 1) from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980193 but to no avail.

Steps I have taken:

Download and unzip files from above url

Download, unzip, install and update SDK

Set phone for enabled debugging mode

Plugged phone into computer via USB

Set USB mode to "None" in order to enable debugging

Ran install.bat

It does not restart the phone as the program suggests it should, nor does it seem to do anything to the phone at all. I know that I am able to communicate with the phone as in an effort to get this on the phone I installed ARoot as suggested from another post (and moved ADB files from that install folder to the webtop install folder)

This phone is not deoxed, but is rooted via ARoot

I tried to use the command prompt to do this, but it seems to be beyond my capabilities thus far.

Hi,

I just bought my g Tablet and try to root it with VEGAn-Tab.

I followed the instruction on this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

While I was trying to install ClockWorkMod v08, copied the recovery and update.zip to the root directory on the internal memory. Reboot by holding the Power and Vol + button. These messages appeared on the top left corner.

Recovery key detected

Booting recovery kernel image

and the screen was frozen.

Do anyone how to resolve this problem?

Thank you!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
If your tab is new you are probably on the 1.2 bootloader (b/l) branch. You can check your version in Setting, About. If you are on 1.2 branch & you want to switch to a 1.1 branch Rom you must nvflash to stock 1.1. Go here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com for step by step instructions.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sesteinberg:
I did the same thing from 1.2, used CWM v 08 and got the same frozen screen with the same message when trying to enter CWM. I assume v. 08 was the wrong choice. Could you help me recover and get the proper version of CWM on my bootloader 1.2 (1.2-4349) tablet? thank you! BTW if I simply start up "normally" the tablet works as it did.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgerax:
I have the same problem (i.e., when booting into CWM I get the "Recovery Key Detected-booting recovery kernel image" but it just freezes.

The difference is, I rooted and flashed to CM7 months ago! All went well and has been fine but now I want to experiment with other ROM's, ...but I am stuck.

I even tried to NVFlash back to the stock ROM but that failed also (I.e., installed the APX driver, etc but when I execute the Gtablet.bat,the "DOS" looking screen pops up, says it is starting nvflash, but nothing happens.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How do you get into download mode
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Misterjunky:
re: download mode

easy to get into download mode, try this:

Unplug usb cable.

Press vol up+vol down at the same time and hold it for a few seconds then when you let go you should see a large triangle which says "do not turn off the fone".. when you see that, have Odin ready with all the flash files setup properly and simply plug the usb into fone from computer.

When you have done that, the [COM: ] entry in Odin will turn Yellow and it will have a number in it. After it does that click start in Odin.

Do not check or uncheck any of the boxes in Odin, let it stay at default.

Be sure to follow instructions in XDA forum where you got the Ultimate Unbrick........

Good luck!

:rolleyes:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] P1 Wookie:
To get into download mode you only need to hold the volume buttons down as you plug in the USB

[Samsung Infuse 4G] byuboy87:
His instructions for download mode were correct, but I think you have to pull the battery first... Pull battery, hold volume buttons, put battery back, while holding buttons plug micro usb in phone (usb to pc should already be connected)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
That's how I do it. Id have Odin already running on pc, take bricked phone and pull battery, hold down both volume buttons, while holding volumes plug phone via usb to computer, the phone should display the triangle screen telling you now to turn off phone or whatever.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Unkrash:
If you bought it within the last month, you can return it for a new one easily, no questions asked.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
True but id think he'd know that which is why I think he picked it up used.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Don't need to pull battery if the device is fully off.

If it's bootlooping or something, you'll need to pull battery to stop the bootloop then plug in the USB when holding VolUp and VolDown.

If you get the yellow "working android" screen you're good, if you get the "phone and PC exclamation mark" screen you're still good - the latter just means you HAVE to flash something to get a working phone.

gtg's unbrick package did not have bootloaders so it should not be able to hardbrick your phone. You're hardbricked only if you get a black screen no matter what you do.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] connexion2005:

Use a Jig and flash with Odin

Look at this link: android.jakaar.net/infuse-jig.html for information how to make a jig.

Then go here: android.jakaar.net/infuse-return-to-stock.html to flash it back to stock.

Hopefully it would help someone else who more recently bricked their Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fishjam:
Same thing happened to me two days ago. I was going back to stock and the usb cord came out (was house sitting a neighbor's frisky dog). It was me, not the dog. I really thought that I was screwed this time. I only had a few dots in a diagonal pattern and that was it. I did the vol+,vol-, and usb and saw that odin recognized my infuse with nothing on the screen but a few dots in a diagonal pattern. Went through the motions and bingo. It was fixed. GTG to the rescue again!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
I've had this happen to me (yanked the cable accidentally) and had the dotted colors/black screen. See if your PC will recognize your phone. The way to tell is if COM##4 or whatever comes up in the far left box in Odin, the box will be yellow. If it does just run odin like your phone is showing the download screen.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
I had the same situation, thought I hard bricked my phone as well. That little pic of a phone triangle and a small mini computer is really nothing to be alarmed about, its still considered to be a download mode. If you have GTG's Unbrick files Use them in Odin to unbrick your phone and continue as normal.

USE GTG's Unbrick go back to stock and do it again.

I had a similar situation, the screen was black. So I pulled the battery, same black screen. I noticed some yellow pixels on the screen and figured it was in DL mode but not displaying it. GTG unbrick still read the phone so I proceeded with the unbricking and came out successful. My heart stopped for a minute.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ashutosh2012:
Hi, I'm very new to this forum, desperately look for help.

I recently bought an Infuse i997 and got it rooted. I was running on stock ROM (Samsung 2.2.1) recovery mode and this morning I tried to install (copy pasted a Indroid 6 rom recovery file, renamed earlier one and changed permissions) a new recovery file using Root Browser App and started in recovery mode using Reboot in Recovery mode but it got stuck in recovery mode and nothing (volume rocker doesn't help in option selection) works! :(

I'm so depressed probably I have bricked my new phone forever... Is there any way that I can share screen shots of this issue?

Any help is greatly appreciated... Plz plz plz help.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] florelui001p:
I don't quite get why you replaced a recovery file with root explorer, that's not how it's done. Go to the development section and search for Odin to return to stock. Just follow the instructions, you're phone isn't bricked.

[HTC Inspire 4G] billcastio:
Hello, I need help I am a newbie to Android, I switched from Iphone4, any way, I installed a new mod in to my Htc Inspire everything seems to be working just fine, But i notice that my H+ icon was replace with just an H, I any body can help me with this matter I will be grateful, :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
What are you using? Most ROMs don't have the plus. It's really just a trivial thing AT&T puts there to make you think you have a better connection, just because it doesn't have the + doesn't mean you aren't getting full HSDPA&HSUPA speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
Yea when I first had this happen to me.. I was like o **** lol.. now I have notice its back and forth 3g to h+ I got that speed test app and happen to test out when it was on 3g and then H+ H+ has some better connection but not to the point where its to get upset about lol..im talking about like 3g was 1.5 (ie) H+ 1.8(ie)

But if you have this issue you could reboot your phone and it should just reappear H+, but it depends where you are.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
unless the ROM you are on doesnt have the H+ icon activated. it is an icon, nothing more, its indicative of nothing. it could say 3G and you would have the same speed as your magical H+..... there is so much confusion spread around here on h/h+/3g...its ridiculous. people freak out thinking their 'H+' is gone because its only displaying 'H' on the rom.....a quick speed test would show that you havent lost anything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
yea that is true..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Flash Ingersoll or StarDroid. custom ROM's that still have the H+ and 5 signal bar indicator.

Just a suggestion if it means that much to you...heh...it did to me. :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidity3000:
I just bought a brand new SD card, 16gig class 4. I notice that the transfer rate is extremely slow when USB mounted, ranging from 100kbps - 200kbps. I also have noticed this on my older SD as well.

My setup:

-CyanogenMod Latest Nightly.

-DTApps2SD Script with ~1gb ext3 partition with 32mb swap, deactivated swap.

I was wondering if it is an Android problem or possibly a problem with my Darktremor's Apps to SD setup. I also have dalvic cache moved to SDEXT as well, but I don't think that is a problem. Thanks for your time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
You can use something like dual mount our even boot into recovery and it will transfer much faster. just don't use the native usb mount.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidity3000:
Thanks, I'll try that app out. I have tried to sync over recovery and it is a bit faster, about 2mbps, but sometimes can drop back to around 200kbps, but usually bounces back up. Any reason why this problem is with Android?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoeagon:
don't think so. or try adb to pull or push files.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidity3000:
I am hearing from a few different people that they have the same problems, some have different phones as well. That is kind of weird, can it be the kernel version?

[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
I too had major issues with LPP on the X2. I was a long time LPP user, but switched to Go Launcher and I haven't looked back. I've been using it for a little over a month and I haven't had a single force close or redraw. I won't be going back to LPP anytime soon.

The only thing I missed from LPP when I switched were the calendar and agenda widgets that were built into LPP. I downloaded Colorized Widgets (free) and the widgets are nearly identical to LPP.
[Motorola Droid X2] quadjacks:
I was using the FB and Twitter widgets. Not sure if they were causing the issues! I would get freezes that sometimes turned into force closes. Attempted to contact the Dev..., UH but you know how that's goes sometimes with some of these guys!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
It was FC on me everytime I swiped to switch screens - made it completely unusable for me. I have tried them all, and nothing beats ADW EX in my opinion.

Rock solid.
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Same thing is happening to me. I already bought LPP from the market, it was like $3, I really don't want to shell out another $3 or $4, I think developers should be fixing problems with their apps. I've bought so many apps for a purpose and then later they stop working because of a new android version, or they just become buggy altogether.
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
Go Launcher EX is free and has all the features of the paid versions of LPP and ADW. Plus, the GO team is constantly updating it.
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
Im sure the widgets have something to do with it.. I have been using LPP since day 1 on gb and not had had a single FC or issue with it.. Its FAST, and i have a few widgets on it:

-the weather channel

-Scorebook

-Sticky Notes

-Touch Calendar Pro

-Digital Clock Widget

-BT/AP/Wifi/GPS On/Off

not a single issue.. also have a few shortcut icons there.

I even had the 3d effect on for a while, but i turned it off cause i liked the bigger icons top and bottom instead of the fold over effect.. which is nifty tho.

Is it me or does it not have an option to hide the status bar? I just tried it out after using LP for a half day and immediately had to switch back. Using Launcher Pro since I updated to GB yesterday, it seems nice, but I haven't found many good themes for it to entice me to get the premium version. On the other hand I came from ADW, and while it seems like LP is better in a few ways, ADW has a large awesome list of themes you can install which has been tempting me to return to it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoebusnz:
After a failed attempt to flash Galaxian Kernel (got stuck in bootloops), I flashed back to the chainfire root kernel. After having booted my phone, all of my apps seem to have lost root access. Superuser is still there and it listed all of my apps with access. I told it to forget them all but that did not remedy the situation. So I think I may have lost root access. CWM works, although I tried reinstall super user via a zip update but that was also unsuccessful. CWM was unable to extract it. Reinstall from the market also did not help.

My question is, would the best way forward be for me to flash stock kernel and then reflash Chainfire to regain access root (all via odin)? Any risk associated with this?

Maybe try terminal emulator and type su?

Or fugu root?

I'd probably just clash the kernel again though.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoebusnz:
Tried the emulator. Permission denied.

Would Fugu require me to flash back to stock?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
Just flash kernel as pda.

Cheers for all the help. In the end, nothing worked. Repartitioning and reflashing stock ended up doing the trick.

[Acer Iconia A500] Borman18:
To keep it relatively short, for whatever reason, my recovery is corrupted or broken. I had flashed clockwork, did a full backup, and have my UID and all of that stuff. Today, sometime after I started downloading files from Google Music, my tablet restarted, and now programs and applications constantly crash, presumibly since the tablet seems to be locked in Read Only mode. Chmod seems to work, but then nothing actually changes. Ive been able to seemingly uninstall root, and reinstall it, but its a hassle, and I dont think that works correctly.

Obviously, without recovery, I cannot flash anything, and without being able to write correctly, I cant get it to update. Acer Recovery says that it is successful, but it is not, and simply reboots the tablet.

One user described it as "GroundHog Day" as the tablet returns to the state it was in previously.

So yeah, I need help getting recovery back and working again, so I can either wipe this rom or do something entirely different. Thanks!

Edit: I should say, the stock Acer recovery seems like it wants to load, then it errors with:

Secure Boot: image SOS checksum fail

But none of the fixes work, nor does hitting volume up and the toggle to clear user data.

Are you using Iconia Root to root and unroot? Let's start there?

My only question is that you stated you installed CWM, if so, why didn't you create a full backup with it instead of nandroid? ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] Borman18:
Yes, I used Iconia Root to do the deed, which has worked since I got the unit a week ago until today.

And thats what I mean in terms of backing up, my apologies (im just use to calling it Nandroid for whatever reason).

Ive tried that, and no go. As far as I can remember, I havent flashed anything in days, since updating to the latest update a few days ago. And its been fine since then, until today.

If it wasn't clear, I can definitely boot, its just with all those errors
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
But you get a checksum error, right? Have you gone through the steps in that thread that detail how to fix the checksum error?

If so, I suggest you contact sc2k.
[Acer Iconia A500] Borman18:
Correct, if I hold the volume - and power, it gives that error. Just ran through the steps for the "<CASE 1> SOS checksum error" again to be safe, and its the same. I PM'ed him earlier (maybe twice..), but I can only assume he's sleeping, so I was just trying to see if anyone has any ideas.

Edit: from my ADB Shell session, just to show that it seems to want to work anyway? But of course, the same old..
