[HTC One X] appiehappie94:
I don't know which ROM you were flashing but here is what you can do:

Things I expect you have done already, according to your posts:

- Unlocked bootloader

- Installed recovery (Clockworkmod Recovery)

Things to do before you start:

- Install HTC drivers (and reboot the computer afterwards to make sure everything's working)

- setting up the fastboot files like Mr Hofs told. (so put adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe in C:\fastboot\)

- Get the ROM (.zip) you wanted to flash, because eventually you still want this ROM ;).

- Have the ROM (.zip) on your phone, so you can select it in the recovery for direct installing. I will tell you how you can put it on your phone anyways so it's not a big problem if you haven't done this yet.

Now let's get started:

- Open the .zip and extract the boot.img inside this file to C:\fastboot\.

- Start up your phone in bootloader (hold volume-down, press power button)

- Select "FASTBOOT" with the volume keys to go up and down, then press power to activate it.

- Plug in the USB cable into your computer and phone, this will make your phone say "FASTBOOT USB".

- Open up the directory C:\fastboot\. Hold shift and right-click in this folder (not on a file!). Select "Open command window here".

- Now type "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Now you should see "SUCCESS". Now type "fastboot erase cache".

- Go back to your phone, and select "HBOOT", after that select "RECOVERY".

- Once loaded in recovery, select the following things:

- "wipe data/factory reset";

- "advanced" -> "wipe dalvik cache";

- "mounts and storage" -> "format /system"

-

Additional tip

for placing ROM on your phone! Select "mounts and storage" -> "mount USB storage". Now you see that you can put files on your phone by your computer. So place the ROM you want to install somewhere you like to.

- Press "unmount" on your phone.

- Press "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> "directorytoyourrom/YOURROM.zip"

- Now reboot your phone, and see the magic happen!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Dude ... did you bother to read back the few posts ??? :confused:
[HTC One X] appiehappie94:
I did actually, and read carefully. But I guess not careful enough, please explain what I missed.

He said he could get into recovery. So my assumption is also that this is CWM 5.8.4.0, because the most recent toolkits got this versuib,

So that's where I started off from.

The only mistake I could have made is not thinking of his "i promise not to touch my phone again."

But he wanted to try, it 'failed' and got a little scared. This is no reason to reset everything to stock and never try again.

Plus the fact that he now knows how to get into recovery is already a big plus, so you won't actually have to start all over.

And

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't I clear enough to make it understandable for a 'noob'?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No its all about the amount of info ! Its one big post with to much info ! Let it go step by step as he stated he does not have a clue what he is doing, let him easy understand a small piece of text and get it working ! :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] jslim38:
Part of your problem could be is that you have fastboot ticked you need to untick fastboot on your device and then you when you press volume down press power and hold both keys and you should boot right into boot loader with no problem
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
He can't ....he's in a bootloop
[HTC One X] appiehappie94:
I understand, sorry for that.

I was also looking at the big picture: Maybe another 'noob' would pass by with the same problem, and wants to know how to do it too and might find it helpful.

But let's not go too far off topic.

I'll leave the specific help to you. :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No problem, but that is the point, your explanation is good but for a lot of people to much to handle. They see 1 block of text with things to do and go on and start confusing things for themselves ....

Its all good with the right intentions :thumbup:

[LG Optimus Black] t1ck0:
Hi guys,

I tried to upgrade my Optimus Black from Froyo to Gingerbread, but on Gingerbread the Play store doesn't work and I also tried to upgrade to a higher version. After finishing the upgrade to ICS said my phone "Security error" and rebooted to Recovery mode :(

I flashed my Optimus back to Froyo. After few minutes with new Froyo system asked me the system to update to a higher version, I allow the update and the phone rebooted.

After the phone rebooted i can`t make anything with him, always what i made finished the upgrade in Recovery mode

I read also article "[DEV] All-in-one flash/root/recovery unbricking script" the upgrade doesn't help me really.

Any ideas to wake my phone back to alive?

Thanks a lot for help guys! :good:

Regards,

Pavol

Not flamming but wrong sub-forum. And your post is very confusing. List what you did and the what you got as result. In this way some one will try to help.
[LG Optimus Black] DeegRollerz:
Reading this I would say, flash a patched original gb rom somewhere from the General forum(with tutorial included) and then upgrade it with a rom from the developer forum using CWM.
[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
Stick to thread as u will get many usefull informations. I m just adding to above reply dat find noobys post and download patched GB and flash it with SFT. It works 99% rest 1% goto service center.
[LG Optimus Black] t1ck0:
I tried to do this, but I am in same situation. I can not go forward after upgrade :-/

...you know guys about this error >>> E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] ? I tried in Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cash
[LG Optimus Black] Duumke1:
It's nothing to worry about. It just means you didn't partition your sd card. I get the same "error" too when I want to wipe my Dalvik cache. Bare in mind that at the point when you get the error you haven't wiped your cache yet. You still have to select the option to actually wipe the Dalvik cache...
[LG Optimus Black] t1ck0:
Hi guys, I tested the patched ROM from nooby, but still this same.

The ClockworkMod Recovery alway after reboot :-/

Any ideas?
[LG Optimus Black] kangi26:
Moved to Q&A
[LG Optimus Black] pkb_always4u:
Its normal to bot in recovery for the 1st time. Did you check to boot again (just confirming).? Remove your SDcard and flash again.
[LG Optimus Black] Duumke1:
Had any luck in fixing your phone?
[LG Optimus Black] t1ck0:
Hi guys, i havt`t luck with my phone. After the flashing comes the phone do CWM :(

I personally think the SIII + Android wallops any phone running windows. If you're pissed at yourself and want to teach yourself a lesson, then yeah make the trade. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eaglesfan398:
If you like the windows phone launcher just get launcher 8. It's free and then you have the ability to get the best of both world. Android is great because you can transform it to look like anything. Also if you want the windows notifications there are apps for that to. That is why android is great you can mix and match to make it look like anything. You could even make it look like an iphone with espier launcher (personally wouldn't do that).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricecake2000:
I just feel that with all the live tiles on wp8 that it would consume battery like no other. And personally I think they look more boring than iOS.

*lol at the fact that I just installed launcher 8 and slightly like the new look!

If you don't use many apps, don't like to install ROMs, and don't like having hundreds of customization options then do the trade.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xmind2006:
I'd give it a shot. If nothing else you'll reinforce your decision one way or another.

I got the HTC Trophy Windows Phone and was quite happy with it. At the time it was very refreshing to have a phone that was always responsive and never needed a reboot....it just worked. I was also glad to have free time in the evenings again by not tweaking/reflashing my phone all the time. There were very few apps that I couldn't find alternatives for with Windowws phone....don't let anyone talk about quantity of appa like 125k apps aren't enough...another refreshing experience was the uniformed-ness of the apps...and the general clean looks.

There are a lot of things Microsoft did right, but in the end there were too many limitations compared to what android offered (actual file management for non music, video, or picture files).

I'd keep an eye on Windows Phone as really some of those limitations were due to MS playing catch up and not having enough time to implement them. They will fill out those features soon enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aooga:
No for the sole reason of a pathetic number of apps (good apps...not random apps. ex: still no pandora app). Is verizon giving you this as a replacement or are you selling it? If its a replacement, no way...new gs3 for a refurb windows phone..thats a no for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xmind2006:
Stop with the lack of apps bit. Sure there may not be an official Pandora app, but there were at least 2 apps that used the Pandora api and worked just as good as Pandora....let alone the html5 Pandora webpage worked fine...including you still being able to use the universal music controls on the lock screen. The unofficial app was actually better because it never played an ad....though it might have changed in the last couple of months.

Now to back track a bit as I got carried away with supporting Windows Phone to realize what you were really asking.....with the support Samsung has behind the S3 and the hardware features I don't think you'd really be gaining anything by switching....in fact I will admit that you'll probably lose features by switching. If you had an older Android phone then sure, but an S3 is too capable and stable to be replaced by anything just yet...except maybe a Note 2....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:

Bad choice!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
If you really feel your decision requires a bunch of strangers on the internet to weigh in on... then yes. Absolutely. You should immediately get a Win8 phone. Windows phones are much like iPhones in that they take all those pesky decision making situations away. They make all the calls and you'll never again be bothered with the horror of deciding how to customize your phone, what ROM to install, which browser to use, what keyboard you like, etc. You'll be nice and safe inside your Microsoft walled garden and all the choices will be made for you.

Act now! Don't wait! Supplies are running out!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roland_D:
Lol... There is no reason to be a jerk though... Some people just enjoy talking about technology and their experiences with friends and other folks that share their interest (on the Internet or off) for the fun of it... It doesn't mean they need them to make any decisions.

I personally didn't know much about win phones... Never had one.. But I can see how it could be appealing to someone who has windows 8 on their PC, xbox and tablet... Integration must be amazing though limited in some ways..

Both android and W8 have their pros and cons. My friend who used both android and ios jus switched to 8X and he loves it. He used every phone out there S3, Razr Maxx, iphone 5 but the end result 8X. I love android and probably would never switch myself.

My suggestion is to give it a shot. If you dont like it. Sell it and buy S3 or any other phone you like. The key point is better to be disappointed by the 8X rather than be disappointed by not trying it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OnceAMatrixMan:
Ummmm... For what it's worth, if Windows phones are still available at the end of my contract (anyone want my Zune?) I may get it - I actually like the interface - but right now not enough apps or development. And the S3 is pretty kick ass

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crjjr:
Personally, I think Android is far more innovative than any other mobile OS out there. I would stick with the Android OS at the very least. While I think the Windows phone looks pretty good and seems to perform well, I would wait a generation or two before considering it and see what type of enhancements they're bringing to the table. Right now Android can't be beat IMO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonapunk:
I got my father a windows phone the first with live tiles he loves it easy to and has most major apps he needs. Now I've played with it and it works well. The new windows 8 I am going to get him for his birthday I will say this I let him use my s3 because he likes the live wallpaper and the widgets I have. He had the hardest time using text and making phone calls. So I here is what I have to say android is my favorite but Microsoft has finally credit a product ready for consumers and it's now all about preference
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stkiswr:
Well I was with android since verizon picked the eris. I have tried an iphone 4s when io6 dropped and found it wasnt for me. Back to android. Then really wanted to try the 8x. While the os was nice its market isnt quite ready for people who like lots of options. Battery life was ok. Camera was no comparison worse than my previous soff rezound running sense 4.0.

I felt that if a year old device was better in many aspects then it wasnt for me. My wife has a gs3 so I got a note2. Its fantastic

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duganator9:
So I was watching a flash video on my stock un rooted epic touch and the screen froze. It happens every once and a while when under heavy load so I gave it a minute and nothing happened so I pulled the battery. The phone then got stuck on the samsung logo so I left it alone for a while. When I came back it was doing the same thing so I pulled the battery again and now only the blue led lights up and won't power on. I know that my phone had the brickbug so I never tried to flash roms out of fear of bricking it. Is there anything I can do to fix my phone? I took it to sprint and since it has a crack in the screen they won't replace it so I'm at a loss. Is there anything I can do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vanberge:
Try flashing or odin a new kernel for whatever build you're on. Preferably one with a custom recovery on it.

Then try wiping /cache and dalvik cache from that recovery.

Worst case is boot your phone into download mode and install a full rom tar file (but, this is a last resort as you'd lose your stuff)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Duganator9:
I can't get the phone into download mode though. It doesn't do anything other than show the blue led light.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You're hosed then, thats the indicator of the superbrick (un recoverable as far as we can tell) your options are, buy a replacement, use asurion and pay the deductible or get a replacement screen for around $50 and then claim a warranty if you're still within your 1 year.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
The battery pull at the bootloader (GS2 splash screen) is probably what hosed it. You *might* be able to get it back with a jig... But it all depends on you getting into download mode. No d/l mode, no luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
You can send it to Samsung for repair service. Since the screen is cracked you'll have to pay to have that fixed. If you're over the 1 year warranty then you're basically screwed but the cracked screen voids your warranty anyway. Best bet is insurance claim.

I'm new to NativeSD ROMs and used NAND before with MAGLDR. I've got a Samsung Class10 32GB SD CARD with which I created a 2 GB FAT32 partition and a 1 GB EXT4 partition on my card using MiniTool. Tried installing Tytung's NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a ROM using AD Recovery option of MAGLDR. This launches the AROMA installer and I select the NativeSD option. The installation completes and I change the boot settings in MAGLDR and select the 'NATIVESD' folder. After rebooting the MAGLDR loads up as usual and tries booting from the SD card and everything goes fine until the phone gets stuck at the white HTC logo screen again!?? What am I doing wrong here?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
This may be irrelevant for you, but when I was on cLK I used to have the same issue. Everything installed just fine, but at the end, I got stuck at the HTC bootscreen each time.

It turned out to be the recovery, I was on CWM. When I switched to 4EXT everything worked fine. I don't know how the recovery can affect the boot of a ROM. Anyway, try to change your recovery to 4EXT and reinstall the ROM.

Has this thread been moved for some reason? I swear I saw it in the 9305 dev section yesterday but had to search around today to find it and now it is in the S3 General section.

Anyway thanks Obagleyfreer for showing us this, I have been using it all yesterday and am very happy with it. It is much better than cwm 5.5 I think and have been able to do everything ok in it so far, flash vr themes, backup, restore, factory reset etc
[Galaxy S III General] bitubo:
thanks great recovery
[Galaxy S III General] djb77:
I personally love the file manager in it. This was one thing I did really like about the CM Kernels so I'm glad that normal Sammy ROMs can now enjoy it :)
[Galaxy S III General] Obagleyfreer:
Hi txr33,

yeah it was moved from the i9305 dev forum as I posted it there but wasn't the developer. I was just trying to get i9305 users aware of it.

But it's now been tagged with [i9305] in the title so hopefully a search will show it :)

I used PhilZ Recovery on my S2 and it was awesome!

I toyed with both, both screen protectors are pretty bad. I forgot the brand, but there is a real good one people seem to use and get off amazon.

That being said, the cases themselves are both good. All depends on how protective you want to be over the phone.
