Hey
I've been trying for about 5 hours now with my mac (main computer) and a small netbook (windows) to fix my phone to no avail
Problem started when I tried to flash a rom and towards the rom finishing installation the phone froze and it all went downhill from there.
First the phone would do an endless boot loop and occasionaly it would go to a picture of a red triangle and red exclamation. Now it stays on CWM recovery and if I reboot, it goes to CWM again. Sometimes I get my mac to recognize the phone in CWM, otherwise it takes forever to get there. Any help would be phenomenal.
What phone, ROM, version of cwm.

ok did the rom flash ever finish successfully?
If not, flash again
if so,
restart to bootloader
open a terminal window on the mac and type fastboot erase cache.
reboot the phone.

you need to enter recovery and reflash the rom.
If you are in CWM Recovery, you can wipe cache from there. Look for the wipe option and afterwards go back to the install option and try to install the rom again. Hopefully you checked the MD5 checksum for the rom you downloaded.

reflash the rom the way you did it the first time.
if you're doing AHRD don't press the touch screen use the volume and power buttons to move through the menus
Why would you need to? I am assuming that you downloaded a rom, checked MD5, and then copied it over to your phone's internal SD Card. When you select install from within recovery, you need to scroll and select the file you want to flash. After selection, Aroma Installer will start and you simply follow the prompts.

I got the phone from a friend with 2 roms so I personally never put them there. In the process of messing up my phone I delete all the roms that were in the phone. when i go to "install zip from sdcard" there are 2 options : 0/ and clockworkmod/

You are correct. Side load or push a rom to the phone and install it

Stay calm first. Its not too big. İnstall adb drivers on windows and plug your phone. Enter recovery. Mounts and storage. Usb connect. Then youll be connected to the pc. Copy new roms. And just try. İf its wont work, then try flashing kernel for your android version and phone. One of custom roms must be installed succesful.

so i just rooted my phone but everytime i try to load bootloader to install a custom rom it does not load the bottom 3 icons just blink 10 times what ever that means... do i need to reroot?
That's the simulated battery pull, hold the power button until the phone shuts off and then hold power and volume down and the phone will go to bootloader. Check settings to make sure fastboot is off. If you still can't get to bootloader, use adb. Type adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery

the kernel installer may have failed, it happens once in awhile. Extract the boot.img and place it in adb folder, connect to pc and type fastboot devices first to make sure your computer can see the phone, type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Do you have a recovery installed? If not, I believe you can put one on the root of your SD card then install in from boot loader. TWIRP works great. Then you could flash a ROM.

if you need to load a rom to sd, go to twrp. select mount and then mount storage, by default the internal storage is selected. Mount to pc, if its corrupt, you will be prompted to reformat. from there load a rom and flash again. go back to bootloader afterward and fastboot flash kernel

Hello there!
This question might have appeared alot but I'll try to be as short and accurate as possible on the following:
About two weeks ago, I decided to root my Sony Live With Walkman (4.0.4 Ice cream sandwich) and now I'm thinking of installing Cyanogenmod 9 stable release. But I'll leave this mod for the last part and let us focus on the rooting process I've done.
I've used the following tutorial: talk.sonymobileDOTcom/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0
At first, I was unsuccesful but in the second try I had managed to root my device (Unlocked bootloader).
Being a bit tired over the official Sony ICS, I thought of putting Cyanogen to my device. This is where the things get confusing for me:
I've spotted multiple tutorials and each one is different and unclear to me. These two are the ones I'm thinking of as the most reliable sources:
- wiki.cyanogenmodDOTorg/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Live_with_Walkman:_Full_Update_Guide
- technologic101.wordpressDOTcom/2012/03/12/tutorial-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-9-0-ics-on-your-se-xperia-2011-device/
So, I have Cyanogen9 coconut, drivers, fastboot, google apps and proper FTF file downloaded.
But what now? Which tutorial is better and accurate for my state of device? Am I risking a brick by doing this? What are the current downsides of Cyanogenmod9 for this device?
Please, write your opinions, explain or link me to the proper guides for my case. I am grateful for any kind of information you give me!
Thanks!

Is kernel the TFT file or the Cyanogenmod zip file (about 125MB)? And how do I flash this with Flashtool?
Boot.img inside the zip is the kernel. Extract and flash that file using fastboot. After flashing the kernel, start your phone and enter recovery. From recovery flash the zip files
Sent from my SK17i using xda app-developers app
Okay then you have done have of the work.
Now backup all your contacts, apps, sms's etc. Then power off your device and boot into fastboot mode. Then take the kernel from the CM9 zip and flash it. After that start your phone and just when the logo gets brighter press the volume down button with which you will boot into the CWM recovery. After that navigate to backup and restore and backup your rom. Then do a wipe data/factory reset ,then wipe chache and after that go to advanced and then wipe the Dalvik Cache. After that go to install zip from sd card and then choose from sd card. then navigate to your rom and flash it. After the flashing is done flash gapps and then reboot.
Note: To navigate in CWM use your volume keys and use the home button to select.
To enter Fastboot: Plug the usb cable side into the phone and while you are plugging it into the computer keep
your volume up key pressed.
To flash a kernel: Put the kernel you extracted from the zip into your fastboot folder.Then open a command
prompt in that particular directory ( in Windows 7 press shift in a blank place and right click).
Then enter this command fastboot flash boot boot.img(Your phone must be in fastboot
mode for this.)
In my signature, there's a guide how to install a custom rom/custom kernels, maybe this could help you!
I would use the cyanogenmod full update guide :good:
You don't need any ftf, you flash a custom rom with clockworkmod (cwm), but this should be explained in the guide

Oh, before I get myselft into this, am I free of installing any drivers? Since I've installed some drivers for rooting purposes, I'm not sure if I need to install these drivers I've downloaded for CM9

No, just the fastboot drivers to flash the kernel. Go to flashtool installation folder > drivers and install all of them for all devices, that should be all :good:
Ran into a problem with ROM Manager :/ It's supposed to offer me recovery mode by rocking the volume up or down while device is rebooting, but none of these work (device boots normally).
Any idea on how to solve this?

It depends. If you wanna flash any CM or AOKP roms you have to flash thier respective kernels. If you want to flash any stock based roms you can flash any ICS or GB kernel you want like Mesa, Panic kernel etc.
As for how to flash a kernel refer to my post on the page before.

No. For entering the CWMR you have to press the volune down button when the bootup logo gets brighter. For this either you must have CWMR install or else you must have a custom kernel

That didn't work. When the Sony logo gets brighter, a blue LED lights up for that moment.
In cwm, selecting 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' opens up a box where my phone model is displayed. After that, it says it's unsupported and I can manually select either 2.x or 3.x+. I've selected the 3.x+ one and in the menu it says 'Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.X.X.X
Shall I try with 2.x? I have no clue here.

Theres a thread in general about it. Correct...not 1.29. One confirmed fix is capacitive button fix. I believe you need to be on stock recovery to install it.
So would anyone recommend installing the new update 4.2.2 for the internatinal version instead of trying to install this update for my T-Mobile HTC One? Or the question is it even possible?
Mine is rooted and unlocked bootloader by using a toolkit.
Also in the 4.2.2 update is the sensitivity for back and home button better?

Use this link provided by c4b4l3 to download stock recovery
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...k-recovery.img
1. I created a folder C: (Named it Android)
2. Rest your HTC One into Bootloader Mode
3. Highlight fastboot then press power button (you should see fastboot usb)
4. Open up Command Prompt
5. Type cd c:\Android
6. Type fastboot flash recovery htc1-stock-recovery.img
7. Let it go thru and rest your phone you should be prompted to install update if not wait for it to come back when it does go thru the motions of the installation.
(When mine went thru the installation process I had to force rest it a couple of time to make it go thru but it works like a charm now and I flashed back to TWRP)
Make sure you have all HTC Drivers installed
And believe me it works I have a Mac with VMware Fusion w/ Windows XP running and I have never had any problems!

I was unlocked, running CWM and rooted. I'm trying what everyone is suggesting but it's just not working. I flashed the stock recovery, rebooted into OS, instructed to flash update, it reboots into stock recovery, starts flashing and hangs about 1/4 of the way through....
I eventually (30+ mins) restart by holding down power. It boots back into recovery, starts to flash the update again but this time has a red triangle at the 1/4 mark.
I reboot a second time and I'm back into the OS w/o the update.
Ideas?

the reason you cant find your back up is because all aosp 4.2.2 roms create the "sdcard0" file path for your data, instead of 4.1.x having just the "sdcard" directory. TWRP wont let you navigate back to the original directory, and flashing a stock rom or backup wont fix it. you either have to manually delete the folder on the computer or on a file manager on the phone (but a computer is recomended).
now what type of factory reset did you do? the regular option in TWRP wipes /data, /cache, and /dalvik. is that the one?
i went into twrp and hit "format data" and it told me to type yes and then it formatted everything ...so afterwards it says superuser is not installed then swipe to install it...after i go to reboot system and it says No operating system installed

yea man that format data button wipes EVERYTHING. that button should not be pressed when regularly flashing different roms. it says that because there is no operating system on your phone anymore. and there probably isnt a backup either, as im not sure what partitions that wipes in detail. can you reboot into recovery by holding down the volume down and power button until the lights flash about 10 times? see if you still have a recovery
yeah i can get back into recovery..i just dont know how to get phone to boot up...yeah i dont know why i decided to format the data..haha friggen idiot i am
should i just download stock rom and plug my phone into the computer and transfer the file over? if so do i just put it in data/media folder?

do you know how to use ADB and fastboot commands? or does your storage come up when you plug it into a computer? it probably doesnt. you will have to sideload a stock rom
like cmd commands?...i know how to do them

you also need to make sure you have all the correct HTC drivers for the phone. if you could previously plug your phone in and navigate the internal storage, you should be fine.
1) download a plain, stock sense 4+ ROM and get it ready
2) boot the phone into recovery
3) plug the phone into the computer
4) launch the toolkit. you should see your device in the list at the top of the toolikit. if not hit option 20.Refresh toolkit. if it still doesnt show up, you might have bigger problems
5) select option 14 and follow the prompts
6) reboot the recovery
7) check and see if you can find the rom in TWRP and install
let me know. i'll be off XDA for an hour, in about 45 minutes. but if this doesnt work, pm your gmail address and get on hangouts
i dont think its locating my phone..i went to install drivers and it says access denied.
do i have to have the htc drivers installed for it to see my phone first?
Yes. Also adb and fastboot drivers, but I think they come loaded with that tool kit
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
is it suppose to recognize my phone under fastboot or adb? and when i install a rom do i need to put zip at the end like dlx_signed_2.06.zip?
is there something i have to do to get it to recognize my device...its not recognizing it
it says adb server is out of date..killing...daemon started successfully..list of devices attached and does not have mine

1 - Get Odin
2 - Get CWM Recovery View attachment n915p-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1(1128).tar.zip or TWRP View attachment twrp-3.0-915P_915R4.tar
3 - Get SuperSU-v2.46.zip and move it to SD card or internal storage.
4 - Flash CWM Recovery.tar via Odin. After powwer off to reboot, press and hold vol+ / Home / Power. You should see CWM recovery. If you don’t see this, your phone may have a “recovery overwrite” feature. You can use the battery pull method
5 - Choose “Install Zip” then “choose zip from /sdcard” or “choose zip from /storage/extSdcard” depending on where you copied the SuperSU zip file to earlier.
6 - Once rebooted, you will find SuperSU app, select it to run it.
7 - enjoy
If CWM tells you SuperSU is not installed, and asks you to install it, do not do it!
I have personally tested this method on COFE & COK2. Think on COG1 should work to. Everything is working. GSM/CDMA, data, BT, GPS, Shealth.... etc.
BUT ALL THAT THE ABOVE ONLY at your own risk

I found a video on youtube that was posted 2 days ago. I now have root on my Sprint note 4 edge n915p. This is wonderful. I thank you also for taking the time to post links and a how-to, to do this.

i cant get recovery to flash. when i go to reboot to recovery, it starts a system update and says no command. it brings me to stock recovery.
OK having some troubles getting this to work. In step #2 the first link downloads a file folder that wont open. Says "windows cannot open invalid file" if just click on it, if right click "open" it says file empty
The second link in # 2 takes me to http://galaxynote4root.com/cwmtwrp-recovery/ which list the tar files, when I click on the one i want i get sent to http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote4/TWRP/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltespr.img.tar
At that point, however, nothing actually downloads the file that I see. All the "download" buttons are actually fake/traps that try to get you to download a pdf converter file or something. Cant see a real download link. Not really interested in paying money to sign up for the promised high speed download.
Am I doing something real wrong here????
EDIT, OK problem # 2 solved, I had to get rid of two different ads, and say WHY i didnt want to see that ad before the CAPATCHA thing finally showed up. But what is the first link with the empty file for?
FINAL EDIT: Got it to work off of the video links finally. Thanks OP for the heads up on the overwrite issue I put the steps to fix that below or you can see it done here at about the 7:20 mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTz-QuZ-rxo&feature=youtu.be

Had same issue when following the links from the video.
The problem as the OP stated is the overwrite feature on Samsungs. What you have to do is as follows:
1. Get back into download mode
2. Open Odin and plug in phone - be sure auto boot is off
3. RE-flash (i know you did it before, have to do it again)
4. When you get the "pass" and had fully loaded on phone then pull the battery.
5. Now unplug from computer
6. now hit home-power-up volume
7. release home as soon as see something
SHOULD go into proper recovery for you and then can install the super user zip.
DO NOT ever click "yes" to the "do you want to root question" if you get it
http://galaxynote4root.com/cwmtwrp-recovery/ - just download right recovery.

Thanks, problem was having there was that I could not never actually download the file. There were ads (the "fake" "download" links on the download page that tried to trick you into downloading another file like pdf converter) that were keeping the CAPTCHA thing from showing. After i closed the ads, then the CAPTCHA showed up and I could download.
This file is different however from the one on the video. The video takes you to "n915p-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.1(1128).tar" your link is "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.1-trltespr.img.tar" whats the difference do you know?
And big thanks on the heads-up about the overwrite issue. never had that before on my past notes but sure did this time.
