How to fix problems concerning recovery

===============================

if you cannot install a customized recovery rom please check one of the following:-

1==>check if ADB is working and that you can access your phone

2==>make sure you have downloaded and installed your phone's drivers.most people ignore this factor.remember all phones are different even if they branch from the same series or branch.

3==>what operating system are you using?most manufactures create drivers for windows and mac OS systems.if you are using linux or any other distro you may get problems.This is true to me because i have alot of problems connecting mine on ubuntu but works like magic on win 7.

4==>when installing drivers please disable your antivirus.I will insist on this.please when installing drivers disable your antivirus.most of these drivers aren't certified by windows and some of them are coded to inrude your phone like a virus in order to communicate.You might install the drivers but some will be left out the most being the recovery Driver(ADB sooner driver in my case)

5==>when installing drivers please try and get an executable file or a disk image(ISO)file dont try copying them manually to system or system32.registry issues occur and they are not detected

6==>if all fails return to stock firmware updating using the SDcard method and try installing new recovery.

7)if nothing else post to me the message you get

Unlocking your phone

here you have no option but to pay unless there are unlocking tools but remember android is relatively new and there are too may varieties of android phones. So if your phone is not in the category of programmers and crackers who are willing to unlock the same phone as yours then SORRY

1==>return to stock firmware

2==> here you have only 3 options

(a) use DC unlocker or unlock gsm both which you have to pay

(b) use the unlocking services on-line which you still have to pay

(c) go to your phone repair shop which you still have to pay

i know it sucks but even i had no alternative but to go to a repair shop.just find which of these options you can afford

People with Gapps issues mostly cyanogen

1==>its simple if you have problems with Gapps may it be Market,Gmaps,Voice,Talk try reinstalling gapps gain

2==>if problems persist then you have to wipe cache and factory reset in recovery mode.

3==>my best option is to use the XDA-KITCHEN tool. just google it.

4==>setup your rom as a project and just read the instructions.

5==>extract the gapps archive and put the apps in their individual matching folders in your rom

6==>do your tweaking check for updater issues and then cook your rom(Build ROM from working folder).this is the best option

if you have any other issues just send a message.
