hi i have a htc hero (well t mobile g2 touch) and i was follwing a guide for psfreedom which got me to install a custom recovery image and then install a .zip folder from my sdcard
m phone was fine after flashing the recovery image but after doing the .zip folder it now wont boot up
i can get into recovery but when trying to put a new rom on via sdcard it fails with this message
E:board does not support mtd utils.E:failure at line 72:
write_raw_image Package:boot.img
BOOT:
installation aborted.
i can get into bootloader but when i try to flash with fastboot it just says waiting for device and hangs there
iv tried doing this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4467471&postcount=13
but that didnt work it just loaded up hloader and said no image found
i also tried
I found the solution!
Downloaded the RUU (ftp://xda:[email protected]_NoDriver.exe) and while in fastboot usb run the wizard!
And the hero is working again!
and that didnt work the htc application came up with the error of not detecting my phone through usb
anyone got any ideas?

You will have to become familiar with using fastboot.
If you are stuck on dell logo, you will have no options but to flash stock recovery and then flash the correct stock rom.
Apart from below method, if you cannot get to fastboot screen, then download QDLTool as that is said to work also.
Here are listed some facts, tools and links to roms and recovery images.
Download Dell Streak drivers, fastboot driver and exe, Dell Streak PC Suite.
Download the recovery img and the corresponding choice of rom image, put the rom image on your sd card and rename it update.pkg.
cc
Place fastboot.exe and recovery.img in the root of your C drive, C:\
Now using fastboot, assuming you have installed fastboot driver and dell streak driver.
Get your device into fastboot mode, hold down power and camera shutter button at the same time.
At the white screen choose fastboot, wait abotu 10 seconds while it tries to detect usb then connect your cable from pc into your phone.
Now open a command prompt in windows.
In command prompt box type:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Your chosen roms recovery.img should be flashed to the phone. Now reboot the phone using command at prompt: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Now hold down volume up and volume down at dell logo, get into recovery mode, and then press the camera shutter button, and your stock rom of choice should be flashed to your phone.
You should now have a working phone, once flashed do a factory reset to make sure all is good.

So what is the score now, what do you want on your phone, or should we say, what can you get installed that works ok.
QDLTool latest should work fine. If you cannot get QDLTool or fastboot recovery.img and flash etc to work, then surely you have a big problem. I have flashed to custom roms and back to stock roms simply using fastboot recovery.img and rom .pkg for stock roms and streakmod to flash .zip packages with custom roms.
But others are better qualified to help to be honest, but the tools i have mentioned are the tools of emergency recovery, if that fails, its something more serious.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as Arif.
Your instructions are great, and they go very well until this part: "Now hold down volume up and volume down at dell logo, get into recovery mode, and then press the camera shutter button, and your stock rom of choice should be flashed to your phone."
I've always been able to get into recovery mode this way where there are options for factory reset, software upgrade, and screen calibration. (Software upgrade gives me "Cannot mount mnt/sdcard/update.pkg - no such file or directory")
Didn't you just have me flash a new recovery? How do I get to it?
Did you flash the recovery using fast boot and then go straight into recovery before the phpne boots up again? If it boots I think it automatically rewrites the recovery to stock if you are currently on a stock rom.
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
It seems like it's successfully flashing recovery using fastboot, the command prompt says "writing/sending recovery .... okay .... finished" and the phone's fastboot screen says "fastboot mode .... download complete".
Then I reboot using the command prompt and as soon as the screen goes from fastboot to black I hold the volume buttons until it gets to recovery. ....but it still looks like stock recovery. and when I hit the camera button to apply the update, I get the "can't mount update.zip" error.
so far I've tried the 407 and 360 roms/recoveries from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5#ROMs - should I just keep trying different roms & recoveries?
I found a post here on xda saying that the sd card might have to be formatted as ext3.
I tried that, and still it's the same error "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p5"
Hey sorry but I am posting this because even after a lot of research I couldn't find a proper solution to this problem....
I am on twrp recovery version 2.1.3 and to upgrade to 2.5.0.0 I used the goo.im app but even after the message showing that recovery was flashed successfully, when I reboot into recovery I still see the 2.1.3 twrp only....
So I tried flashing it with terminal emulator but it didn't work..... This error shows up every time....
failed scanning partitions failed with error : - 1
I tried putting the .img file in the root folder as well but it didn't work.... I tried naming the root of sdcard as storage/emulated/legacy, storage/emulated/0, /sdcard, etc but it keeps on giving this error every single time!
Nowhere could I find a solution for this problem so please please PLEASE! HELP!

Hi,
You may be able to wipe your tears .This worked for me on the Huawei Ascend y300 which was rooted and had its bootloader unlocked first. Since I got a similar error to you using flash_image these steps might work for you too:
disconnect usb cable from phone
Boot into the bootloader mode (usually power and volume down).
reattach usb cable to phone
Download fastboot
get a dos prompt
navigate to the fastboot directory
do these commands followed by pressing enter:
fastboot devices
(your device should be listed)
copy and paste your recovery.img into the fastboot folder in windows.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot.
Now make sure your phone boots normally.
Now power it off. Hold down volume up while pressing power, it should put you in your custom recovery.

I tired to restart phone after noticing that WI-FI isn't working (maybe my internet was laggy, don't know). After restarting phone was stuck on LG logo, i tried many times but again LG logo.
Then i started recovery, and wanted to flash some new ROM. But my CWM won't recoginze my SD card (to add, i wasnt using SD card with this phone). I tried other SD but problem stays. I google it and found out that maybe CWM needs update?
Version of CWM Recovery v6.0.3.1
This shows up when recovery starts..
E:Cant mount / cache/recovery/command
E:Cant mount / cache/recovery/log
E:Cant open / cache/recovery /log
E:Cant mount / cache/recovery/last_log
E:Cant open / cache/recovery/last_log
How to unbrick phone now?
Unfortunatly don't know what ROM was flashed before, or is bootloader unlocked or not. (coming from LG 3D, LG l9 was present. LG 3d methods for flashing is diffrent, so im little confused how to start anything now)
To add that phone now cannot turn on without charger pluged in. Powering on was OK in first few time...
First and important question. Did you unlock your booloader? If yes, you can install cutom roms. If not, you can't install custom roms.
Did you also try to enter SV mode?
1. Power off phone
2. Press and hold volume up
3. Connect phone by usb to PC
4. Wait few sec
5. SV mode should appear.
When you are in SV mode, you can restore stock rom by official LG program.

I started S/W upgrade, and in upper corner it says Bootloader Status: unlocked. So bootloader is unlocked for sure then..
If i manage to update CWM will that solve my problem with SD card? After that just to flash ZIP from recovery?
O something else?

Thanks, now really noob question..
I googled how to update recovery on L9, and found methods with installing some APK, but as i cannot start system how to flash then?
There is 2 ways to install new recovery.
You can flash .zip in old recovery, reset phone and you will have new recovery.
You can also flash new recovery by fastboot. You need to have .img recovery.
Can you reset to fastboot in recovery options?

Not sure how to enter fastboot. Cannot see restart to fastboot in CWM..
You can try to enable adb in recovery and use command "adb reboot oem-unlock"

I cannot start fastboot, dont know how, something doing wrong. On CWM i only have, install zip with sideload (something like that)
Can i flash to stock rom from S/W menu? And what i need if can?
You need phone + usb + pc + lg flash tool (just download it) Connect your phone with SV mode and let program find rom, download and install it.

Not sure what to try next.
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344 stays on 15%, and PC cannot see phone
this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 , someone sad that this worked becaause first method didnt (was same problem as mine, how i understaned ..)
and tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384 , stuck after 6 sec (something like that). I readed that maybe BIN was corrupted (because of conversion from KDZ to BIN), now ill try with thid BIN http://uploaded.net/file/j32p8p7y/from/xh3dqq ...
What next.. S/W mode says Bootloader unlocked, and before all this phone was using JB..
I still didn't succeded to recover my phone.
My computer simply cannot see my phone, i tried all tools that were avalible. On 3% to 7% (on updating), just says that phone is not connected.
Strange thing is that i managed to flash V20H_00.kdz two times. Every single time i do the same but only that 2 times flash was successful. One time was with "offline method" and then with "LG flashtool 2014", after that flashing i got dead android with red triangle both times.
Then i wanted to flash v20c_00.kdz , but cannot pass 3% to 7% on flashing AGAIN. I'm frustrated !
I tried to flash on other computer but again, phone is not recognisable.
What to do now?
Can i flash ROM with fastboot ?
UPDATE.
I started upgrade recovery with LGMobile support tool, and finished flashing. But AGAIN i got dead android with red triangle!
Now what to try!?
Update
I even tried to flash ROM on WIN XP, but nothing. Again proces stops on 3% (then quckly) jump to 7%. And thats it.
Strange thing that when i start UPGRADE RECOVERY on Official LG TOOL (i think thats official), program download 500mb+ KDZ and process is successful, but i get Dead Android with red triangle..
Anyone have any advice? What to try?
Hello everyone.
So I decided to update my device as i find out that there is a new default ROM available for my device that is Infocus m530.
I downloaded the ROM and i was flashing it through Software Update Tool (SUT) in Normal mode. The installation process got stuck at 16% for like 10 or 15 minutes so I removed the USB (I know its a dumb move ) . And I rebooted the device and got stuck into a boot loop.
I can access the default 3e recovery mode only but because my ROM was in format ob .nb0 I am not able to Flash it using stock recovery, I can no longer access the FastBoot mode,
When i try to boot the device up it goes into One or two loops and the a windows pop up saying no command. In that window if I press power button the stock recovery shows up.
I tried to flash the ROM again using SUT in emergency mode but the device is getting disconnected automatically. In device manager its showing up as Mediatek Pre Loader USB VCOM for a second or 2 and then automatically getting disconnected and then same No Command menu.
For a minute a new device is also popping in the Explorer which usually contains all the default driver of the phone.
Any way I can recover my Bricked Device
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

I already tried it but it didnt work.
So finally I was able to fix the device. The META Mode ain't a myth. Flashed the ROM correctly in META mode and the device booted up properly.
I want to install TWRP on my Umidigi F1 so I can root it and install custom roms and all that
I am using the latest version of SP Flash Tool from here and the most recent stock rom from here to flash this TWRP 3.2.3 Image.
Everything works fine, but after flashing, if I try to boot into recovery (which I think is Power + Volume Up) it says
Code:
Red State
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly
Please download recovery image with verified signature or disable verified boot
Rebooting in 5 seconds....
And then it just reboots into normal Android.
From there on, it acts as if I hadn´t done anything and booting into recovery again just shows me the Android thingy and says
Code:
No Command
Booting with Volume Down always brings me to some chinese things I don´t understand but that very much looks like some kind of recovery to me as well.
Note that I have enabled USB Debugging and OEM unlocking in the settings and that SP Flash Tool states "Download OK" like it does after successfully flashing.
Now can someone help me installing TWRP on my F1?:angel:
Thank you for any help
Oh btw I just noticed this somehow didn´t end up in the Umidigi F1 section and I can´t figure out how to put it there either
So if you could tell me how, that´d be awsome
