So my brother just got a X10 Mini and wanted me to root it.
So, I rooted it, unlocked bootloader, put CWM recovery into system/bin along with chargermon and busybox.. tried to install cyanogen mod (and did, and google apps, and did) then used flashertool to flash the kernel.. and now the phone doesn't boot into recovery, and it doesn't boot... just gets stuck on the CM7 logo...
help please!
I'm guessing I'd have to flash something like a RUU (I'm familiar with HTC Phones ^_^).. SEUS right? Can anyone give me any pointers on how I'm meant to do that?
Okay, so I managed to flash .sin files and got the stock ROM on the phone, and it boots.. but the touch screen doesn't work!!!! someone help!!
Try flashing the default kernel and making SEUS, because there are kernels that SEUS don't recognize, but if not works, sorry you got a bricked device
could you explain further.. this is the first few hours of even owning this device... I have pretty much no clue what I'm doing with it, and only trying to work on past experience with android.. which is a lot different and a lot simpler with HTC!!
I need like a step-by-step guide of what the hell to do. Wow I feel like such a noob again after helping out so many with their desires
It's not my phone so this is how I feel right now...

Which kernel did u flash?? N which in the current ROM u have..?? Maybe ii can hellp..
Sonystyle v10 by B-Paul ..
Ok so I rooted with superoneclick, unlocked bootloader, got recovery, backed up the stock ROM (would this be any use to me without recovery? - I have the original system, data, & cache .img's - can I flash those?), flashed MiniCM, then flashed nAa-02 Kernel as instructed on the MiniCM page. I got a bootloop, and I couldn't enter recovery.
I downloaded E10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Generic.zip, created the ftf file by using the batch option in flashtool, and flashed it - so everything should now be stock.
The phone boots in to the system, however the touchscreen does not work.
fixed it.
LOL Turned out my bro had a mini pro, so just flashed U20i_21u1_ITA.7z and it works! Now running MiniCM7 Pro
I had the same problem as you! Thank you for sharing your solution.
Thanks

Ok so this may have been posted before but I've been searching and can't find anything.
So I got my note 2 when they released and I did the first "root" method available which I think was odin. Not really root with a custom recovery however I don't think. See the following screenshot to see what I'm currently running. Its been fine until now so I never re flashed anything or install twrp or anything.

Lately its been running slow so I want to fully root and install something along the lines of the latest Clean Rom. I had cleanrom on my Rezound and I love his roms.
Only reason I'm making this thread is because I'm not sure where to start because I don't think I'm stock yet I'm not "really" rooted.
Dont want to mess up my device.
Thanks!!

Sounds like you are rooted, but your bootloader is still locked. In order to flash ROMs on Verizon you will need to unlock the bootloader (unless you did that via Odin the first time around). From those screenshots you won't be able to tell if you have unlocked the bootloader...as far as I know the only want to check is to boot into recovery. If you see TWRP or CWM you are set...if you get the stock recovery you need to follow Adam Outler's original unlock method as you are on baseband VRALJB. To access recovery power off the device and then press volume up + power button + home button simultaneously. Whatever boots up will tell you what you need to know.
stary by reading the stickies.
Yea I believe I'm still on the stock recovery.
Hello,
I successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 3 (model sm-t110, if that matters), then made a huge mistake. Upon believing that i was going to sell it, i went to settings, and selected to reset phone, foolishly thinking it would take it back to factory/out-of-the-box condition. Now, when i attempt startup, the B&W logo appears repeatedly, followed by this screen with options:

What is the best way to fix this? I prefer to go back to the rooted version, or whichever method is easiest!
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

re:
The closest i came is trying to flash? a ROM (i think, my knowledge is obv limited) via SD card. But i think i read error msgs right before the device re-booted...
Thanks again....
RWB
EDIT: microSD, not USB! Dammit
HELP!?
Lil' help please?!
Just point me in the right direction, anything!!
Thanks in advance!
You can download the stock firmware and flash it via Odin. That should restore it back to it's stock unrooted out of the box state

Hey, thanks for the reply.
Currently, i dont have access to a PC or laptop. I can borrow one from a friend, if needed...seems like it is a necessity, right??
Thanks again, and if there are any other tips you or anyone can provide, it would be MUCH appreciated!
RWB
Yes. You would need a Windows PC for ODin to work, and the Samsung drivers installed.

Not so familiar with chrome books, but I'm guessing, NO
Look around for jODIN3 , it's a web based solution for flashing Odin files...I know for a fact that it works on Mac and Linux..,
You might want to give it a shot and let us know if it works on a chrome book

Hi guys. First post to the forum, been lurking for years, just registered.
I recently updated my phone with the update that Samsung kept bothering me about every 2 hours or so. And It has messed my phone up, it's slow, it drags. It doesn't even show the clock on my lock screen without thinking about it for about 10 seconds. Train wreck.
I've rooted, installed custom recovery, and loaded custom roms on my Galaxy S i9000 and on my grouper Nexus 7. I kinda get how all this works, I'm not a total newb, but with this phone I am at a dead end and i've tried everything I know, and a bunch more tricks I learned here and nothing is working.
My Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3: Canadian (Bell) version SGH-I747M, supposedly the same as the S3 AT&T,

I had to use zadig to replace my drivers for Heimdall
Heimdall will sucessfully flash clockwork recovery, but it refuses to install my CM rom. I haven't tried any other roms, but from what I've read in the forum here, it doesn't seem to matter what rom you use, it just wont do it.
I get Assert, bootloader errors when trying to install from zip in Clockwork Recovery. tried the fix here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41503727
and it does not work. Odin just says "FAILED" right away.
I thought maybe if I just rooted the phone first, I could at least flash a custom recovery and not have it over written everytime I boot.
I tried CF-AutoRoot, Odin says success, but nothing changes on my phone.
I tried OneClickRoot which worked wonders on my GS i9000 back in the day. No success.
I have tried CM Installer to do it automated, It says success, but no change.
People have reported that Knox may be the problem, but as far as I can tell I don't have it on my phone.
I've been working on this for a day and a half and all I've managed to do is factory reset my phone about 12 times. I need help.. I don't know what to do. Has anybody managed to root their phone or install a custom recovery or rom with a GS3 running 4.4?

Wrong forum myfriend post your question here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att <<
Hello there, I won't lie, I ask for help, you answer me.
I don't understand enought your method, because it's not well described.
But.. Therefore...
I'm able to root my device.
I'm able to backup my ta partition or my drm keys.
I'm able to unlock my bootloader.
I'm able to restore my bootloader to lock it back.
i'm able to unbrick my phone when it couldn't boot via flashtool.

But I'm unable to install a custom recovery and or even launch the stock on it there was one.
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647492 (normal boot and no pink led).
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799388 via flashtool and my phone couldn't boot, even to the SONY logo, but it were vibrating when pushing on the power button.
Anyway, I flashed via flashtool the 14.4.A.0.108 back, now I'm still rooted and the bootloader is still unlocked.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What can I do to install a custom recovery via the 14.4.A.0.108 ?
Or this operation is impossible and I have to downgrade ?
(I read about downgrade and I'm affraid to lose my IMEI)

I'm pretty sure the problem here is that there is a stock firmware development aka the custom ROMs can't just start "taking over from where the devs left off" like it happened with Samsung Devices that get stuck at v4.1.2 unless someone else does something about it.
I guess most things here just are not stable. I hope the stock works out for you. Did you get the rooting done? I found a video tutorial for that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...de-root-android-4-4-4-ver-14-4-0-108-t2801587

Hello, of course I have done rooting, now I'm back in full stock, nk rooting, just pure sony beauty. And everything works better without root, or it doesn't matter, but the navigation and the use of the device is much smoother without lags
Here are the specs of the phone:

Now, i am stuck in the boot animation, i already tried everything, i have a backup of my ROM (i can share it i anyone needs to see it) and i flash it with SP flash tools (even having the problem of the phone connecting and disconnecting when it is without the battery), and even when i get to flash it and reach the green circle nothing changes, i keep stuck in the boot animation (i have tryed to flash another ROM too (h**p://***.needrom.com/download/hdc-s5-g900h-6592-2g-16g-2014 without any success).
Even creating a personalized CMW recovery hasn't worked, MTK droid tools warns in that case that the recovery doesn't suit the device.
I was able to create one CMW recovery and flash it, but when i try to flash the backup of my ROM always aborts installation, stock recovery also aborts installations every time.
I am running out of options and ideias, anyone has a ideia what can be the problem? can anyone help me please?
P.S. I have made a factory reset through recovery (don't think that's the source of the problem) and problem started when i installed xposed framework apk.
Thanks in advance and regards.

I was able to flash a diferent ROM from needrom and now i have the phone working again.
Still don't know what was the problem with the backup of my ROM however...
