Hi, I'm noob so I can not post on the developers questions.
I'm having this problem
6. Wiped /sdcard, can't reboot from recovery: You thought you had the ROM file on the sdcard, but you didn't, and wiped everything, so without a ROM image, you can't boot into system.
Solution: Put the ROM file where your ADB binary is (usually inside platform-tools folder in Android SDK directory) and rename it rom.zip. On the device, boot into TWRP, select Advanced, then ADB Sideload. Connect device to PC. From here, run "adb" and hit Enter to check for your binary version, if it's anything lower than 1.0.3.0, you need to update the binaries by re-installing the latest Android SDK. Once the device is in sideloading mode and is connected to the PC, type "adb sideload rom.zip" and hit Enter. Now you'll find the ROM on the sdcard, flash, and you're done.

Everything works fine, kindle drivers for windows, SKD, ADB, etc, except that when I use the command adb side load rom.zip I get:
cannot use rom.zip
I need to know how to proceed and if I need a fast boot cable to transfer this image to the kindle sdcard.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Although you may get flamed from posting in Dev instead of QA,iIf you have fastboot access from your PC, then you can run the following command:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging YourChoiceOfRom.blob
Afterwards, reboot your TFP and your new rom should install.
If not, you can also try using ADB to push the file from your PC to the tablet's internal storage, then install through CWM.

Download nvflash from the dev thread, extract it to C: it has adb in it. Download universal naked driver from dev thread, install the drivers as per the opening page (the prime is connected to the pc by cable at this point and booted into cwm). Download a rom, put it in the nvflash folder where the adb.exe is. Open the folder so you can see adb.exe, press and hold the shift key, right click the mouse, from the menu select open command window here. In the window, type adb push (enter name of the rom) don't forget the .zip at the end, press enter. This will take about 5 minutes to transfer. Reboot to cwm, install the zip (rom). You should be good to go.
Ok so I am a noob and have looked around the forum for about 3 hours not yet found a answer to my problem.
Well my goal was to try to use my Rezound with T-Mobile prepaid 4G but now I am stuck
I got what I believe to be the boot loader unlocked but s-on still and have TWRP v2.5.0.0 installed
I some how with all my poking around wiped the OS completely off it and lost my recovery and I must not of saved a recovery correctly on my computer and I am now having issues loading an image of an OS or installing one I have tried some of the images suggested in other post buy could get them to load successfully.
Can any one help me with some step by step instruction to reinstall an OS on my Rezound

By default, no. Follow these instructions to flash on an S-On device:
NOTE:
You must have the Android SDK downloaded and installed onto your computer.
You must be familiar with the SDK's install directory structure.
You must be familiar with using terminal and know how to cd to the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
1. Open the Rom zip with an archive tool such as 7zip and extract the boot.img from it.
2. Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
3. Put the Rom on the root of your SD Card
4. Compare MD5 Sum
Windows: MD5 Calculator
LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]
Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]
5. Reboot to Recovery
6. Scroll down and select "Wipe"
7. Wipe the following:
Quote:
Wipe ALL data/factory reset x2
Wipe /data x2
Wipe /cache x2
Wipe Dalvik-cache x3
Wipe /boot x2
Wipe /system x3
Optionally wipe:
Wipe battery stats
Wipe rotate settings
8. Scroll to and press return
9. Install Rom from SD Card
10. FOR GSM USERS ONLY - After flashing the ROM, re-wipe /data and then flash the GSM patch
11. Return to the main menu of the recovery and select "Developer Menu".
12. Select "Reboot to bootloader
13. Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
14. Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
15. Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
16. Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
17. Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
This command reboots your device into Android. Wait for it to boot up and enjoy your new freshly installed CM10.1.

1) Install it via Recovery, should be an install option in TWRP.
2) from your PC connect to your phone via USB - fastboot flash boot c:\location\to\boot.img
Change the path to where ever you have the boot.img saved on your PC.
is the install suppose to say fail

I do install it from recovery TWRP install but after it does some processing it says fail. Does that matter did it do what it needed to do and it is just time to run the flash from the computer then, or is some thing wrong happening?

I think TWRP 2.5.0.0 requires that the installer have newer binaries, you may want to try CWM touch instead for a recovery.
how do I install a different recovery then

where do I get newer binaries? how do I install a different recovery if I have no Android OS on the phone? and is there a link to CWM touch
I am very new to the android world, seeing as I am a recent iOS convert. However, I am still struggling with all the terminology and technicalities of android and require assistance (perhaps a lot! :cyclops.
I have managed to root my G2 (VERIZON MODEL) but am stuck there. I do not know how to install CWM or TWRP, nor install any custom ROMs like CM or Gummy.
So will anyone be kind enough to guide me through the process? Thank you.
P.S.
I have searched through the threads in this forum regarding installing custom ROMs and am still confused.

first download twrp for your device, http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2vzw/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-g2vzw.zip
plug the phone to the computer, make sure u have usb debugging on in developer settings of phone
since you are already rooted, place that file recovery img to the IOROOT folder.
once done, rename the recovery file to recovery.img
one done, CONTROL + SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK, OPEN COMMAND PROMPT HERE
then type this
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
(IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt on your phone, type su in the command prompt to get it then allow it on phone. once thats done then contine onto next step blow.)
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
adb reboot recovery
once its complet just reboot the phone and you should have twrp installed!
once twrp is installed, you can dl the verizon version of paranoid android here

and
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973599
dl the file, drag the files to the phone, dont place into any folder though.
to install, go to the ioroot folder again, control shift right click open prompt again, type adb reboot recovery
phone should reboot to recovery, go to settings, then select USE RM-F instead of formatting, then go to wipe, advance, select dalvik cache, system, data, and cache. IMPORTANT DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE!!!
then swipe to wipe
then go to install then install the paranoid android download first, once its installed, hit the back button on the botom right, then install the GAPPS, then reboot the device your done.
Or you could just download the recovery.img that u choose, and flash it using the app called "Flashify". Easiest way by far and works perfectly for me everytime, using both TWRP and CWM whenever I need.
Once you have that done, installing a ROM such as GUMMY is fairly simple since it usually has the instructions right there in the OP of the thread. Pretty straightforward.

So I take it that I put the "ioroot10" file into my phone over the USB, then extract the files of the TWRP file, then place the extracted TWRP file inside of the ioroot10 file? Also, I did the control+shift+right click, but there is not OPEN COMMAND PROMPT option. Sorry for all the questions..

my device intex cloud m6 1gb ram 8gb rom is not rooting.Please tell how to root
How to root Intex Cloud M6 8gb and 16gb smartphones.
Hello there,
This query was posted a long time ago by you and i am not sure if you have found the solution or not. But as far as i am aware, it is pretty hard to root this device. It runs on a Spreadtrum chipset sc7731. However, recently i figured out how to root this device.
It seems like that the device's default.prop file comes with a configuration :
Code:
ro.secure=1
which makes it impossible to root this device with absolutely any rooting software out there including the one-click apps.
To be able to root this device, the only efficient way is to replace the stock recovery with a custom one, deleting the default su binary file inside the /system/xbin folder as well as in the /system/bin folder, installing the SuperSU.zip file and finally by installing the Kingroot apk which will ultimately root the device.
I personally prefer the TWRP but there is no official release out there for this device. So, i ported a custom recovery for it in my spare time ( It may appear somewhat ridiculous but i had nothing more interesting to do so i changed the layout :silly
I have attached the recovery file below.
After you have downloaded the recovery as well as the SuperSU.zip, here are the steps to root it:-
Download the minimal adb fastboot for windows. You may google it, its available easily. (It turns out it may be the only tool that may work effectively in case your device is not getting recognized by any other adb.)
Rename the recovery as twrp and place it inside the Minimal adb and fastboot folder.
Connect the device via a USB cable and make sure adb debugging is on inside the developer options.
Now open the Minimal adb and fastboot tool and type the following commands inside the prompt:-
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Type the commands in the exact sequence. Your device will boot normally. Now, time to checkout the recovery. Type the following command inside the prompt.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
In a few seconds, you will have the custom twrp booted in front of you. Now, open the Mount tab inside the recovery and check the system option within it.
Head back to the recovery homescreen and open the Advanced tab which is followed by opening the File Manager tab.
Inside the file manager, follow the path to the pre-existing su binary file, i.e /system/xbin and delete it. Do the same with the su file present on /system/bin.
Now, head back to the recovery home ,open Install tab and select the SuperSU.zip wherever you placed it and swipe to confirm the installation.
Reboot system. (It will probably boot without the logo so don't worry if it does.)
Now Google the Kingroot.apk, download it and install it. Give it a run, it will probably fail.
So get rid of the other superuser app i.e, SuperSU app via the option present inside it, i.e "Cleanup to install other superuser app" or something like that.
After a few seconds, it will disappear from the device and probably the same might happen with the Kingroot app.
Reboot the device.
Re-install the Kingroot app and run it again.
Congrats! You just rooted your device. Go ahead and check the root via an app like Rootchecker.
Here is the custom recovery file: -

Hello there,
First-off, i would like to thank the Chainfire for the SuperSU files and the Kingroot for making the rooting process easier.
