Hey guys. This is my first smartphone so I know very little of what I am doing but I followed this guide on the site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
I did Root & Recovery followed by Install your custom ROM. I managed to root it ok but after I flashed it got stuck on "G2 Touch T-Mobile" screen so I removed the battery and tried again but to no avail. I think the ROM I tried to install was Ice something
I can still voldown + power and home + power. When I do voldown + power it leads me to a white screen and at the top it says
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON]HERO 1.76.0007 (HERO1000)

Well. That white menu is called BOOTLOADER. Just so you know for the future.
Don't panic, it is not bricked .
First thing to do:
1.Shut down the phone completely.
2. Turn on your phone by holding down the buttons: Home + Power. -> This will lead you to your favorite recovery (AmonRA or CWM?)
3. When you are in recovery, go to the menu that says - "Wipe".
4. Wipe this things:
Data/cache
Dalvik cache
Sdcard ext (if having one).
Battery
Rotation settings
^ basically select to wipe everything that's in the respective menu.
5. Download a custom rom that suits you best.
6. Place that rom on the root of your sdcard (don't put it in a folder or whatever, just copy paste it in the sdcard).
7. Flash your rom
8. Reboot
9. Wait until the lights on the buttons goes on -> this is a sign that everything is working and the phone will boot every second.
10. Congrats
Oh, don't forget, some roms have lower boot times, so be patient when booting for the first time (it might take a few minutes).
Hit me back if this doesn't help you or you are having trouble!
Is it ok to have a empty MicroSD card, that is what mine looks like + mydownloaded rom.zip winrar zip archive

Ok:
You are in the recovery
Put your phone in usb mode (from recovery, hit the usb-ms toggle).
Go to MyComputer.
Select your sdcard - right click on it - FORMAT
Select the Fat16 or Fat32 format (not NTFS).
I suggest Fat16.
You can check the "Quick Format" since you don't have anything on it.
After it is done formatting, copy paste again your rom. -> MAKE SURE THAT IT IS COPIED CORRECTLY (leave it 2-3 minutes after it is finished copying).
Go to your computer
Right click on the SD CARD and hit "EJECT".
Now on your phone, press any button to go to the recovery menu.
Flash the rom.
It should be ok now.
That problem was because the rom was not copied completely or you have your sdcard in NTFS format. If the problem still persist, please redownload your rom. This problem might as well appear if the download was not completed correctly.
Hope this helps you. Cheers!
NOTE: ALWAYS FLASH ROMS THAT ARE INTENDED FOR YOUR PHONE -> HTC HERO.
DON'T FLASH ROMS THAT ARE FOR ANOTHER PHONE BECAUSE YOU WILL BRICK THE DEVICE!!!

Because that is not a ROM, didn't you saw that it is too small to be a ROM???
A rom has from 60mb to 250 mb... That had 6 mb or so... try this one
before flashing it again, WIPE EVERYTHING! because you flashed some things and if you flash the rom on top of that, it will not work.
so download that rom,
put it on sd card
wipe everything from recovery
flash the rom
reboot
enjoy.
don't forget to search the same thread for news and other versions of the rom. Right now it is v3 but in short time it will be v3.5!
Cheers
I have got access to the phone now thanks so much, ROM is nice too

Happy flashing dude!
Don't forget: always, ALWAYS, Wipe everything before you flash any other rom!!!!!
And also, it is good (if you change the rom to anything else) to go to your sdcard and delete these folders:
.Trash
Android
data
.android_secure (if you have one)
Lost.DIR

folks,
I was running sky-raider zeus rom on my HTC Thunderbolt. I went into Rom Manager and decided i wanted to try out the Cynagenmod rom. I down loaded it. Chose to do a full wipe and download google apps. Since then it rebooted after and has been stuck in the Boot animation.
I tried to go into recovery and it asks me if i want to proceed with update. I choose yes. Unzips files and reboots into the boot animation and remains stuck.
Please Help.
Describe in as much details how you flashed this Rom, what did you name the file if you changed it at all? Did you flash in Rom manager or recovery? Did you clear data/cache/davlik? What version of recovery are you using? How did you flash in recovery, did you go to select zip file from SD card?
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
Delete double post
I used Rom Manager and I had the latest version. I'm not sure what the # was. I chose to wipe all options and download google apps. After that I did not touch the phone and it went into reboot and has been stuck in the boot animation since.
Thanks for your help in advance
So you flashed the Rom from CWM app?
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
Ok this is what you do never ever flash a Rom from Rom manager, you are going to want to select reboot to recovery and do it from there. Here are steps to save your night.
1. take battery out and put back in and hold down on volume and hold power button at same time. this will boot into Hboot.
2. Select recovery (god I hope you don't have a radio sitting there) or that will load instead of recovery. If this is the case you will want to remove your SD card and use a computer to remove the radio from ur card.
3. Once you are in recovery select clear data/cache and then under advanced clear davlik. And select install file from SD card and it should say select file and just pick last Rom you loaded I always keep a few on mine just in case.
4. This will install the Rom the correct way, after it is done reboot and all should be well.

Grnlantern79,
Thank you so much for your help. I do have something sitting there. I"m not sure if it is a radio though i think it is. It reads
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] MDM9K
[2] Radio_V2
Do you want to update?
What should i do?
Yes it is a radio and No don't update, and hopfully it will allow you get to recovery if not get on computer and remove the pg05img file off SD card.
If I helped you in any way please use the thank you button
thanks for your help.
When i get home from work i will try to get to my own computer to get the file out. Thanks

Yea once you flash a radio either move it off the root of SD card or rename it so you can use it at a later time in case a future radio does not work as well. It's always good practice to keep the root of SD card clear of files named pg05img.zip or update.zip

Hello i tried putting a recovery on my san francisco i used a method from sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk and it said it was converting it to gen2 then it installed cwm 5.0.2.0 that worked the only this is it wouldnt boot into the rom only the recovery so i tried reseting it and tried other roms but now its just doing the same, where do i go from here?
What you need to do is download the rom on your pc, then remove your sd card and copy the rom into the root directory of the sd. You don't unzip the files just leave it zipped.
Boot into recovery pressing the power button and Either up vol or down vol not sure which one (it's a long time since i've had a San Fran).
It will then boot into Clockworkmod Recovery.
scroll down using the volume keys to backup and then press the home key to select it.
Then repeat the process for factory data/wipeCache/Dalvik Cache
When you have done the wipes
scroll down to install zip from sdcard, select it, then slect choose zip from sdcard
scroll down to the zip rom and select it, then scroll down to yes install ziip select it and let it run, when it's finished reboot the phone
it should reboot with the new rom installed, it could take 5-10 minutes for the phone to reboot.
Good Luck
PS make sure the roms you download are for Gen2 or if its a Gen1 download a Gen1 rom, you can tell by installing an app called Mr Pigfish which will tell you what gen your OSF is.
The phone doesn't boot to the Tom at the moment so I can't check and I have done this but still no luck :/

Hi everybody. I'm from Italy.
I open this thread because i can't post in correct zone of this forum.
I havo some question about the rom HD revolution.
Is compatible with every original firmware installed?
The step to flash are:
Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card
Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)
Flash boot.img from the downloads section
Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol up + home + power)
In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"
Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script
Once again select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM
After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
They're correct with new phone?

Samsung needs no boot.img only htc.
Just place the HD rom and the superwipe script on your external sd card. Flash superwipe script and than the hd rom. Done.
So, i din't need "root" privileges?
The recovery mode is accessibly with default rom and no previously mod?
This firmware, if i understand, is full, so there's no problem abount language and version of original firmware installed?
This firmware has italian language?
You need to have clockwork recovery to install the custom rom.
Just flash the correct CF rooting via odin and you will have everything you need. Thankfully Samsung don't do ****ty semi-unlocked bootloaders, which means once you're rooted you can pretty much do everything directly via your phone

Ok, i hope that my english is undestand Is not perfect but i undestand your messages
So, the first passage is installing clockwork recovery (via odin?) and after this reboot phone in recovery mode and install superwipe and ROM that i previously copy in memory card?

I use Odin Multi Downloader v4.34
The data partition not formating would be a cause for concern, if I was you I would try formating it with ClockWorkMod by doing a data wipe/factory reset.
If it was me I would use my computer to put CyanogenMod 7.2 .zip file on the SD (its stable and handy for getting things working)
Most stock ROMS won't flash through CWM.
So to summerise I would try this:
Go into download mode.
Link up with Odin and select your OPS file (make sure GTI5500 OR 5503 appears at top and not the word Android)
Select "One Package" in Odin options
Download a .zip of Clockworkmod for galaxy 5
select it as the One Package and don't touch the other boxes...
let clockworkmod flash into the phone and let it boot into it
now try the data wipe in clockworkmod
install the cyanogenmod zip from the sd and reboot
good luck
I've attached my Clockworkmod Zip file. I use it at least once a week so its good

Yep! There is no key combo for recovery on Galaxy5, if I need to boot recovery and cannot load the rom I just put it in download mode and use odin to reflash clockworkmod, then when its finished it auto boots into cwm and I do whatever I need to

Fix soft-bricked Mate 2 (MT2-L03) phone using TWRP
If you messed up the phone and it came to a state that phone can not boot into android, if you have TWRP installed and have a backup, then you know how to fix that easily.
But if you don't have your own backup, I have upload my system partition so hopefully you can use this to restore your phone. The backup is taken very close to stock, and it is rooted with SuperSU installed.
BTW, there is a "safe mode" boot method, so try that before using twrp recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...ted-amazon-app-store-stuck-boot-loop-t2872628 (post 6 and 7)
Steps to Restore you phone if all other ways failed:1. Your MT2-L03 need have bootloader unlocked, and TWRP recovery installed properly. Even your phone is soft bricked, as long as you can boot into bootloader mode, you can still unlock bootloader and install twrp recovery.Unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/progress-rooting-ham2-t2867975

And thanks @dbmj unlock bootloader, @Modding.MyMind build twrp recovery, and @D33PTHAWTE confirmation that this fixed his phone.
Glad you got this posted. This will be very vital to many people down the road. And great work on giving instructions to create a backup for the simplicity of automating the needed directories for usage of the actual shared backup. Thumbs up bro.
@D33PTHAWTE, welcome back
For everyone not getting TWRP to work I have done it on 3 HAM2s and all work try this.
1.flash this stock recovery https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-nJFDpWA4MdVjhEYzU3TXlMZ0U&usp=sharing
2.even if you have your own use that because I know that works and I dont know what yours is.
3.boot into the recovery and make sure that its the stock recovery and its working.
4. restart the phone 2 or 3 times to be safe
5. flash using twrp using 15 second ADB installer.
Has anyone followed thoes steps and that recovery above? (not your own) if not try that and let me know. take a screen shot of what ADB is showing you so I can see that TWRP was successfully installed. Starting at square one. Flash twrp and show me its flashed.

Hey I tried this on my phone, I think everything worked okay. Android ui crashes constantly when my sim card is inserted. When I try to do the OTA update it says theres an error with facebook in the cust folder. I tried to copy that from the zip but it failed to copy. Im out of ideas of what to do next.

What button combination are you using? And did you have unlocked bootloader?

Hi, I have seen these issues pretty frequent recently that:
1) /cust partition is not covered in this TWRP backup, so after restore, you may still got facebook app mismatch failure when upgrade.
2) Even after a successful OTA upgrade, many people (include myself) met problem to reflash the TWRP image.
So, give me a few days, I think I can make a flashable zip that has latest (B148) stock ROM with root, probably this weekend.

Thank you so much!
Please try install this zip from recovery:

MT2L03_B148_Stock_ROM.zip

This is a clean Stock ROM (flashable zip) with Root after upgrade to B148 for MT2L03.
It should only be used for plain carrier unlocked Huawei MT2-L03. Other varies (carrier locked) MT2L03 is un-tested and may brick your phone.
This ROM include /cust, /firmware, /system and /boot partition.
The official B148 update also contains update to SBL1/ABoot/TZ/RPM partition, they are not included due to risk concern.
I didn't fully test this ROM, I just pickup the image from my early backups. I installed it to my already updated phone and boot up fine. So please try it and let me know if you see any problems.
Working great for me! thank you, fixed all my problems.

Is your phone mt2l03 and bought as unlocked?
Another thing you can try is do a factory reset (to be safe backup /data first) and wipe cache, dalvik cache.
