[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LePeche:
If I root and flash CM9 - will I be able to use any sim?

Probably a dumb question, but if the phone is locked to one providers sim card when I bought it, will rooting it negate the need to unlock it? If I change the ROM to CM9 for example?

Thanks

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zRadiz:
My htc vivid stopped turning on for a good day.... Left it there on the charger. Still didn't turn on. Then one day out of the blue I tried it and it turned on again. I'm able to get Bootloader and Recovery to work. But there is another problem too it. ((When I try and reboot my phone my screen gets stuck on htc screen)). So I try and factory reset my phone another problem occurs it says "unable to mount /emmc" something like that. And nothing else mounts. So now Im unable to factory reset and im stuck with an htc screen.. I don't know what to do.. :(

This is quiet frustrating. Ive spent all day trying to find something that works or that can help me and ive got nothing...

Can someone help me out?

Thanks.

Im using an HTC Vivid. Previous ROM that I remember was Pac-Man JB..

It stopped working one day randomly when my phone died...

I've rooted and installed a new ROM for my friends HTC sensation XL called Total Sensless. Upon installation i forgot to edit the vold.fstab file in order for my sd card and internal storage to be able to be read. However I'm also stuck in a bootloop. i cant access the sd card from recovery to flash the same Rom with the edited vold.fstab and i cant seem to push a ROM via adb onto my phone as the internal and sd card memory isn't recognised. Any help would be save me paying from breaking my friends phone, i really need help. :(

Thanks heaps
[HTC Sensation XL] Lexmazter:
First of all, make sure you read things before doing things, secondly, you should have S-OFF'ed the phone, most probably that is the reason why you are in a bootloop, so the best thing for you would be to find the device CID, and if you find a RUU to match your CID, then you are lucky and can start all this thing from scratch.

Or, you could use any of the tools Multi-Tool, AIO, whatever, and install another custom Recovery, and mount USB from there, see what happens.
[HTC Sensation XL] 3dan3:
I gave the RUU a try and tried flashing one that seemed to match but it kept showing an error saying "unable to update your android phone please get the right ROM Update Utility :/

I'll try installing a new recovery and let you know how it goes

Thanks a heap man
[HTC Sensation XL] 3dan3:
[Solved]

And it worked :) i flashed TWRP using AIO tool and then mounted the USB storage and then reinstalled the origianl ICS Rom back on.

Hi,

Dis you try, "Sony Companion" or Flashtools" ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibraahim:
Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.

Thanks..

Not yet. I just got the phone and have tried getting into recovery.

I shall try the PC workout later in the evening after reaching home.

What do you suggest?

A reinstall of Rom via companion or flash tools?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9andar:
First try PC Companion... and i was thinking... if it's not rooted how could you go into recovery mode.... i think it's impossible if you are not root...

So when the last rom will be installed by Pc Compagnion... Root it (flashtools and/or doomlord's method), install a recovery (like X-parts an app on market) and and like that you can do what you want with it...

Tell us if it works...

/////

Oh i see you have habs with samsung's or htc's phone... They have a recovery without root but not the sony's one...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibraahim:
Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.

I just have one query...

How will flash tools or companion work when the device does not settles down, as it's in bootloop, from Sony logo to xperia logo, then a short vibration and sometimes a long one and screen goes blank and then Sony logo, and xperia logo, it's going on and on.

Please enlighten.

Thanks.

Re: Arc stuck on boot logo stock rom, locked, unroot.

He was wrong when he said PC Companion, you need to use SEUS, Sony Ericsson Update Service.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9andar:
You can use SEUS if it works yet but i'm not sure....

BUT you also can use PC COMPANION which works....

No need to turn on the phone, do you know "the flashmode" it's a basic.... so you can follow my tuto on my signature...

AND please follow exactly the steps before posting it doesn't work...

You can also try FLASHTOOLS...

The thing is i open CWM flash a new kernel and then select it but then it says "kernel failed, no zImage was found"

any ideas?

[Blade General] yurakuryzko:
Hi all. Sorry fo my bad English - I'm russian.

Ok, I have a bricked ZTE Blade - GEN2, China 256Mb RAM.

I've read this topic modaco com/topic/343587-guide-de-bricking-a-zte-blade/

I have some problems, thats why I'm asking for some help.

1) I've used Method 5: The dodgy ZTE firmware flasher

At the point Flash Firmware - 6)When finished it should boot into FTM mode. - but it doesn't.

I've took out the battary, and rebooted my phone in the FTM-mode. Succesfully restored IMEI (got no errors).

And then:

Put clockworkmod in the recovery partition

Take out the battery and turn on the phone. Clockworkmod should load

There is no ClockWork! Only FTM...

Installed ClockWork via cmd script. It has loaded, but here is the next problem:

"You can now flash a ROM"

I've tried to flash Swedish_Spring_RLS5. So I mounted system and data.

Installation ok, but if i reboot i get clockwork.

Tried to flash image.bin from zte-website. If i reboot after the installation i get clockwork.

Tried to get stock recovery. Installed it via cmd script, but it doesn't load.

I get FTM-mode.

There is no phone-workshop in my city, and I have no more warranty for this smartphone, so i hope you can help me. Thanks.

At the beggining the problem was - the boot was down. The splash appeares, slides to right, the phone reboots.
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
Try reflashing clockworkmod and do a full wipe.

It might also help if you format system.
[Blade General] yurakuryzko:
doesn't helped

Ok, reinstalled cwm, have done all wipes, formatted system,data.

Tried to flash.

Nothing. Reboot => CWM :(
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
Does the rom flash process success?

Try flashing another rom.
[Blade General] yurakuryzko:
yes

yes, it does. i get no errors, and

there are files in the system partiton.

when i make a backup i see all the files from the os.

have tried. cm7, cm9, other stock: 2.1, 2.3 - every gives the same result - only cwm is loading.

when i flash the stock recovery - then i get only ftm on load.

is my phone totally bricked? i hope there is a way to restore...
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
It's semi-bricked. You could try to flash stock rom with ftm and root it with z4root.
[Blade General] yurakuryzko:
ok

ok. i will try P729J_2GW900V2.2.0B01-NO_RECOVERY-update_signed.zip

will update this message when done.

--- upd

tried:

1) china tpt's

2) all wipes and formats

3) all mounts + flashing Swedish_Spring_RLS5

4) boot.img via adb

result: ANDROID Loaded, but the hardware keys are not working... UrbanDrawer, any ideas?
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
Just reflash rom and wipe data.

If the problem didn't get fixed, flash another rom.
[Blade General] yurakuryzko:
no success

Flashed a stock China ROM.

No success. Boot info FTM. No way to boot the system...

Tried another ROM's for 512Mb models - same result: FTM-mode :crying:

Any other ideas?
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
Before doing this, you could also hard reset the phone, that way there's not going to be any software-related problems.
[Blade General] yurakuryzko:
what i do

Ok. What i do.

1) Launch ZTE Flasher, swich my phone into download mode (vol+/vol-/power)

2) Flash IT (China v880 Firmware)

3) When finished - release battery.

Turn on and get FTM-mode, no clockword or smth. else. Only FTM.

4) TPT's : China v880 GEN2 TPT's.

When finished - the phone doe's not reboot. Need to release the battery, and to power on.

5) Oh my God! Yellow CWM!!! :laugh:

I mount data,system.

All wipes.

Format all, except SD.

6) Flashing ROM.

7) Reboot.

After the reboot I get CWM (on stock rom's) or FTM (after CM).

What am I doing wrong?
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
Try method 1.

http://www.modaco.com/topic/343587-guide-de-bricking-a-zte-blade/
[Blade General] yurakuryzko:
cwn

No chance. CWM loading. No ROM :(
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
Did you format boot, system, data, cache, and sd-ext?
[Blade General] yurakuryzko:
Sure. I did!

Hello guys!

Just bought my N7, really nice device, and I want to unlock the bootloader.

I looked around for a bit, and saw Wugfresh's toolkit will be the best way to unlock&root. So here's my question:

If I backup my N7 then unlock and after that restore my backup, is the bootloader still unlocked?

I'm searching for a way to unlock my device without having to wipe data. Do you've got any suggestions?

If there's no way, that's no problem for me, but I forgot to unlock when I started using my N7.

Thanks in advance,

Jasper
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3369:
Unlocking your bootloader wipes all data, in that you are right. I lost all my progress in GTA vice city! :( ... But I am not sure you can backup all your data pre-unlock and restore it completely after. Maybe you can try TB. Save the backup on your PC, and restore the filles after rooting. That method at least won't do anything to your bootloader. I am not sure if you were thinking of any other way to backup. I *think* Wugfresh's backup method was to make a Nandroid (so, after unlocking and rooting). I didn't try it though. It's a great toolkit, nonetheless. Worked without any hitches for me. It's laid out in a detailed manner - with screenshots of exactly what you'll see in your screen (so no need to freak out at weird messages!)

I was too eager to root, so I just went for it! Needless to say, it was totally worth it!

Hope that helps. Cheers.
