I have attempted to flash back to stock, and Odin reports that it was successful, but it still returns to the same point in the boot sequence and hangs.

When I use Power + Home + Volume Up, I get to the precursor screen for the Download Mode, not CWM Recovery Mode.

Any suggestions as to another way to force my way into recovery mode? I assumed that would be my way out, but I can't seem to get there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Did you try power + volume down + home?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zksailor534:
Sorry, yeah, that's what I meant. Not Volume Up.

Download mode is vol down + power + hone key

Recovery mode is vol up + power + home key

Hello folks,

Is it possible to fix it by my own, or should I go to a specialist?

Are there already replacement parts for the backcover? What kind of screwdriver do I need if I wanna repair it by my own?

Btw, first broke Nexus 4 ever?

Thanks :)

There currently aren't any replacements for the glass back, not that I have seen at least. Might be a few private shops/stores that are selling them but I highly doubt it, since the phone is new and not as much people still own the phone. I'm really sorry for your "lose" but there isn't much that you can do about it YET.

Alright, I can wait. I'm just happy that my Display is still untouched.

I fixed it this instruction:

1. Remove battery.

2. Remove SIM Card.

3. Remove SD Card.

4. Insert battery.

5. Press Volume+ and Power button and hold until it boots.

Once booted, you should be able to take out the battery in order to reinsert the SD and SIM Cards, then put it back in in order to switch back on as usual.

can wipe, factory reset and can select install update.zip

the phone wont take any update i throw at it and ive tried like 7-8 i have found here on xda. I have no idea what phone was on previously.

I CANNOT access the bootloader no matter what i do. i even went as far as to dissasemble the phone and replace the buttons (thought home might be sticking), anyone have any ideas on how i can possibly ressurect this?

without bootloader access i cant flash to downgrade. Im at a loss here and really hate getting outsmarted by a phone. I dont think its a brick... yet being i can hit stock recovery and that blue led test works.

Hi guys,

I just bough a used HTC One S. The device has rooted by previous owner. There is a custom rom but I do not know which one it is. I want to install CM10 to my phone. I tried to follow the step from this a video but I have a problem. After writing the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command, the guy from the video hits the "HBOOT" button but there is no "HBOOT" option in my phone's "FASTBOOT" menu. As far as I guess, because of that, I cannot flash "boot.img" and cannot see recovery menu of this boot. So what should I do in this step, I would be appriciated if anyone could help me.

The video's title is "HTC One X: Jelly Bean CM10 (Cyanogenmod) - How to Install - Cursed4Eva". I cannot add link because of lack of post.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
How about... like... Following a guide ment for the one S, instead of a guide for a completely different device?
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
yea, the right guide for your phone will help!

also, can you still boot into bootloader to make sure phone still works:

do this by pressing vol- and pwr at same time until screen goes black or for about 8-10 seconds. then release power, but continue to hold vol- till phone boots into bootloader. Once there you can use volume rocker to go thru choices and pwr to select. at this point you can press pwr with the FASTBOOT highlighted blue, then then select reboot. Or you can go down to recovery and select it and see if you can get to recovery. if you get stuck just reboot into bootloader as mentioned above.

also, you can check which rom is on phone by going to Settings/About Phone and scroll to bottom. since you don't know that, i would suggest getting much more familiar with the phone and your bootloader screen before flashing roms.

whichever rom you flash, read the OP page carefully and first and last 20 pages of thread. also, include wiping system as part of any full wipe.

recommend TWRP recovery, which you can get thru goo manager from playstore as opposed to cwm.

make sure whether you have an S4 or S3 phone. S4's will run at 1512mhz

anyway read, read, read and make a backup of your phone and sdcard asap
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gieltjev:
Hi All,

I take notes with my Tab2, and sometimes the Default behaviour of the Touchscreen annoys me.

So i decided to recompile the kernel with 3 lines of code added. When done i replaced the zImage in the boot.img of the kkboot stock zip and flashed it trough clockworkmod.

Then i got stuck, my tablet gets stuck inside a boot loop (only the logo comes up, and then reboots after 3 seconds).

The kernel compilation was done by:

- Download Ubuntu, follow the guide on Andriod to setup a build enviorment

- Download Doomlord's toolchain

- Download source from Samsung Open Source

- Adjust code

- Compile using samsungs instructions

How can i resolve this?

This time the booting takes around 6 seconds, but still resetting.

Hello Guys,This is an updated guide for creating an update.zip for your rom.I know that there are a few guides out there but i think my guide is a bit simpler and straight forward.

Step 1:

Download AutoUpdateCreator_V1.1

Step 2:Extract file and click on "CreateUpdateZip.exe"

Step 3: You can either drag your created zip file or press ENTER (If you did not compress your rom yet)

Step 4:Now drag & drop your ROM Folder in the program

**NOTE** Structure of ROM folder should be as follows:

ROM FOLDER(Containing)

---System

---Data

Note: If you get an error it means that your ROM Structure is incorrect!!)

Step 5:Now that everything is done,zip is signed go to GENERATED ZIPS in autoupdatecreator folder.

Step 6:Copy your update-script in your generated zip file at /META-INF/COM/GOOGLE/ANDROID/

(Do NOT replace Update-binary file!)

Other Notes:

(Update Script must be created,there are templates available)

(Editing Update Script with normal windows text editor will cause Status 6 Error)

(Adding an incorrect or non existing file in update-script will also give you a Status 6 Error)

Is this possible? The full details are I had my phone stolen, and got a new one with android 4.0.4 on it. I have on my computer a copy of my latest backup of my old cognition gingerbread rom. Can I just use CWM to recover to my old rom, or do i need to first downgrade to a gingerbread rom, and then recover?

Thankyou very much for assistance

Edit: Also, I don't actually want to use the old rom, I just need the contacts it saved, afterwards I'll wipe everything and install a clean ICS mod. In case there's any way of doing this without having to revert
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You'll probably need to restore the backup with a version of CWM close to the one the backup was made with, you can often have problems restoring if you're using a CWM version a lot (say 12 mths or more) newer than the one you made the backup with.

So I'd probably go GB/with a rooted GB kernel first, restore the backup & go from there. I mean, it could work first try with an ICS kernel that's running a recent CWM build, but there's a fair chance it won't.

Edit - And be really careful with stock 4.0.4, don't do a wipe while you're running that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AijouCarlos:
Wow. I just... wow.

Ok, so I did the stupid thing and just tried to restore my old backup without doing proper downgrading first and it ended up soft bricking my machine, couldn't get recovery mode up, but I got into download mode. So I downloaded my country's stock gingerbread rom from samsung's site and flashed it with odin just to see what happens, and somehow my old rom was working again, and I have all my contacts and data. saved everything up to google, upgraded to ICS, import.

Everything went better than expected.

Thanks for the help :)
