After i flashed tha rom i downloaded my phone got stuck on tha boot screen. I tried to do a restore but it says no backup "abort". I did a backup last night. So i know there is one. Do i jus need to reflash tha phone? Im confused
first of all, you're not supposed to flash anything in this forum. this forum is for p500 and p509.
second, if you cant boot past the splash screen, you're bricked. however, i think you can still boot into emergency mode. bad news is, you would only need that for kdz updater (which you can use to flash back the stock rom only if you have the kdz file, which i believe is not available for your phone)
Thanks for tha reply. My phone has been rooted and has cyanogen mod done. I can get to recovery screen so it could be easily done from what Ive read so far. I jus cant find my backup. Does anyone know where i can find tha stock firmware or rom for it?
if you go to nand restore, your backup should be there. if its not there, you either have to find a custom rom for the p506 (i dont think theres any) or you have to flash the p506 kdz file (which i tried to find for you but i cant. ill keep looking) using kdz updater
EDIT: check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087601
maybe you can ask kad_79 if he can make a nand backup for you to flash
Thanks for tha help. Ive been lookin everywhere myself. Not many people messing wit these phones. But i did find sum hacks for it before i tried tha rom. Im gonna do some more experimenting when i get my phone goin again. I dont wanna have to send it to lg. I asked him. Maybe if he dont have it someone else will.
Edit: Ok i found the original rom along wit many others. Its gonna take a while to download cuz im tethering with a slow sony ericsson phone. Cant wait to get android goin again!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
sounds good
glad i was able to help. just remember, before you flash any rom, make sure that its compatible with your phone
Its supposed to be tha stock rom. I know to verify my backups from now on. I will post tha link for tha rom when i get my thrive goin again. Ive seen other people lookin for it as well.
Its working!!!
Update: well after several days of trying to figure out how to use fastboot to flash this rom i got tired of searching. i went and got a sdcard reader transferred the zip file to my card and flashed with cwm recovery. My thrive is working like it should now. Im gonna back up everything and start some experimenting now. Thx for the help. anyone has anything they want tested for a p506 thrive, im willing to do it. thx for the help

Hi all,
First thread on here so Hello!!!! Basically, I've just rooted my HTC Desire (literally about 1 minute ago ) and i was wondering about what to do next? I know you can install more apps now but i was wondering what are the biggest benefits of rooting and how to get them.
I really want to install a different ROM onto my device but am stuck on where to start.
Sorry if there is a thread similar to this!
Thanks very much!

The first app that i install is the Rom manager app. It helps to flash roms and make backups of current rom. That solves one of ur questions.
Some reading material about rooting and what u can do once u have rooted ur device.

Hit thanks if I have helped.
Thank you does that make a backup of the current ROM so if something does go wrong then i can just restore it via clockworkmod?
Btw, when i tried backing up via clockwork mod it generates an error (sorry if this is noobish im new to this! )
It says:
Error whilst dumping boot image!
E: Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Cant find MISC:
Any ideas?
Thanks
yeah this happens quiet often when backing up the system....Boot into the Clockwork mod and then from there back up the system.
Thanks for the reply, this was what i was trying to do, i've installed revolutionary now and it has backed up fine
and ive just got cyanogenmod loaded on here now looks awesome! I have a feeling im gonna get addicted to installing roms now ... lol.
If i run into any more problems with rooting and custom roms, etc, then ill use this thread again so the forum doesn't get clogged up with my life story xD
Thanks very much for the help and replies, thanks has been given
Anytime......Yeah flashing roms kinda becomes addictive after some time....
lol, i can imagine errrrmm btw, i had backed up my apps using titanium backup, although i havent got any of my original apps on the phone now, and android market isnt installed either.
its mostly the fact that i cant access android market that im wondering about
If you could gimme a reply soonish then that'd be good.
Which rom did u flash???? If it's a cm7 based rom then, yes u won't have market and other google apps. There should a file in that same thread called gapps. Get the latest one and flash it just the way u flash the rom.
Hit The Thanks Button if I have Helped.
Kool, ive done that, got all my apps back and got all my messages and contacts awesome! Easy once you know how thanks very much for your help! btw which ROM would you recommend from experience?
Hi,
First of all I know there is a lot of thread about this but i read most of them but i couldn't find a solution to my problem.
I bricked my phone when i was trying to put up the ics rom and the custom kernel for that. I know that i shouldn't had to try, but i did and its went bad.
So the problem is that my phone stuck at SE logo. I cant get into the recovery. When i try to flash an another kernel it says it was successful but nothing happens with the phone.
I tried to repair it with SEUS but it says "your phone has the newest software" or something like this. Pc Companion does the same.
Please help me i've tried everything, but its still not good. Are there any chance to get my phone back to life? If there is, please let me know it.If i take it to a repairer, they could fix it?
Thanks to everyone who spend some time to help me!
super sorry for you.
try downgrading first and then upgrading the kernel. and try flashing a stock Rom 2.1 or 2.3. hope it works out. PV message me if you ever get it fixed. I remember really messing up my x10 unlocking the bootloader, the program froze on me and man the results we crazy. but it all worked out.
Hey buddy ur phone isn't bricked don't worry get flashtool and flash global generic 2.3.3 firmware (.ftf file type) I think it in 2nd or 3rd post in flashtool thread. That'll put u back to "from-the-shop" settings
Sent from my X10S using XDA
Thank u so much its working now
OK First and foremost i would like to say Thank You XDA Developers, you have helped me figure out ALOT about my phone.
First lets just say I'm a noobie at this (aren't all beginners?) and i did try the search function but couldn't find anything . if someone does find, please link me too it, it will be greatly appreciated.
OK now back to the problem, the thing im trying to do is install a custom ROM onto my HTC Raider LTE from rogers, i have rooted/unlocked/ installed CWM recovery on it and my phone is S-ON. this is where things get difficult for me, i don't know where to go from here, i have already downloaded DarkRaider_v1.5.0 and virtuous_inquisition-v4.0.2 just to see which one is better but i do not know what to do with these files. i have booted from recovery and installed from zip but i guess that's not right cuz i tried it three time and had to re-install the stock rogers ROM 3 times due to it Boot looping. Thanks in advance and sorry for any annoyance i may have caused
You did a full wipe/factory reset before install the ROM?
Anyways, post this thread in the device's forum, where will help you much better.
Yea i did that and thanks i will move this thread
i installed a modem or radio then it didnt work so i tried to go back to the original at&t radio and it didnt work still now i tried going to a different rom and still wont work and not its acting up if someone can just give me a rom or something to put my phone back to original settings like when it first comes so i have the original radio and stuff back please help me out i really need my phone im freaking out right now i really hope someone can help me thanks

That's one way... If you want to read up and learn click here. Halfway thru the first post is a section called "factory/return to stock".
First off, I am not a noob (really) but I made a big mistake today. More of an extremely bad oversight honestly.
Also I searched the forums (and Google) for something similar but so far have run into dead ends.
So I started out trying to root and flash my friend's TF201 today and managed to get root and TWRP 2.3.X onto it (unlocked).
Then I proceeded to try flashing a rom. I didn't realize that one of the requirements for the rom was TWRP 2.6+ so when I flashed I got stuck at the ASUS logo. No biggie, been here before, I know my way out.
Once I realized what the issue was, I searched TWRP flashable zip (backup I made of stock rom didn't wanna restore for some reason :/ ) and I came across a flashable TWRP 2.6+ zip and tried flashing it.
Here's where things get pretty ugly. Upon reboot I get stuck at the Asus logo again, so I try to get back into recovery and I can't even get into, what I believe, is the bootloader menu.
NO option for RCK (recovery), NO option for Fastboot, NOTHING. Then I realized that the TWRP zip I downloaded was for a Motorola Atrix or some other thing. *epicskullshatteringfacepalm*
So can someone please tell me what I did, and if there's any way to get this thing to at least boot into SOMETHING? I have NO problem opening this sh*t up by the way, it's kind of my job so.. if I need to I will.
Someone please just help me lol this is my friend's Pad and I need to get it back to him in at least working order asap.
Thanks in advance.
Did something similar last week, I just got back from having the motherboard replaced by someone with all the tools. Sorry mate, but unless you made a backup of the bootloader with nvflash, that's what's got to be done. Call around, check ebay.. I went to Cell Phone Repair (cellphonerepair.com) and they helped me out fairly inexpensively - under $100. Not saying that'll be the case with you, I think I just got lucky. But Asus wanted $324.
Thanks man, I appreciate the confirmation. I actually work fixing phones, laptops, and other electronics so I can do that myself. I just needed to know that it was hardbricked for sure before resorting to that. Thanks again.
