[Q] Help ! I flashed new rom - now I'm totally stuck - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks,
on my rooted Hero I've flashed Vanilla Eclair 6.2
Silly me: I imediately flashed Google Apps too - but a version only for android 2.3
Now I can't get to the market to install new apps.
Therefore I can't install ROM-Manager to do a new flash.
I can: phone, surf, wifi, mobile network, connect to pc via usb
I don't have: market, ROM-Manager, file manager, Titanium Backup
I can start fastboot, but I don't know much about it.
When I choose "reset Device" it takes me back to VE6.
Can anyone please tell me how I can get out of this nightmare ?
How can I
go to the market ?
or install ROM-Manager ?
or get in the Recovery Mod
or flash another rom ?
I'm feeling totally stuck I can't move forwards or backwards.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
TIA

Do a Google search on your desktop and find the apks for ROM manager, Market ect.. There are 1000s of links for them. Move them to your SD card and install. Done

[Q] Garmin Asus A50 Dead

Dear All
I'm a new android user, I just get a new A50 from Australia and try to root it. It's successful with z4root and I try to install Thai font to system. Unfortuantely I did wrong by deleting font folder in the system, therefore I can't run the system again. When I power on, it still have only garmin asus android logo and can't use it again. Does anyone please let me know how to restore or resolve this problem, or I have to throw it away? Thank you in advance.
Cheers!

Android 1.6 or the new 2.1 Eclair update?
It's a new Eclair 2.1 update, is there any solution?
Connect it to your computer via USB cable.
Using ADB, try this:
ADB REBOOT RECOVERY.
If it works, a yellow triangle appears with the green android guy.
Hit the HOME button. A menu appears. Use volume up/down to move through the options. Tap power to select it I beleive.
Reset/wipe to factory is one of the options.
If you need it, ADB is found in the Android SDK.
If that doesn't work, try calling in to Garmin for support.

Dear Spazmogen
Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm really new with ANDROID.
I downloaded ANDROID SDK and try to install but it dodn't work.
I use Win 7 64bit, do I need another software to run this command.
If possible, please let me know some previous post that already teach for beginner.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers!

ADB is a command line tool. But you will have to get Android SDK installed on the computer 1st.
Read the instructions for installing the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
ADB commands: HERE.
Interesting. I got into the recovery screen using the Quick Boot app,used the home button to show the menu. The arrows and volume buttons move, but can't actually do anything. Probably related to missing files that are reported in the data/cache/recovery folder.
https://www.garminasus.com/en_US/support/eclair/006-B1130-00.update
official 2.1 update came out today for USA GARMINFONES. Not the A50 Nuvifones elsewhere in the world...
Is the update different from the leaked one?
Sent from my Garminfone using XDA App
I am waiting for an answer to that question myself. I have no plans to change from the leaked version Garmin posted in mid-November.
Sent from my Garminfone using XDA App
Apparently someone did a bit comparison and said they matched. Plus, I tried and it told me it was the same version. On the plus side, I messed up my recovery partition and recovered it using the backups I made of each partition after I loaded 2.1 (dump_image). I made img backups and tar backups of all the files in 1.6 (I am anal about backing up). Good thing because 2.1 doesn't come with flash_image.
I can get into fastboot and the driver loads and stuff, but I get no devices listed when I do fastboot devices command. Next stop is Ubuntu
I know it works,just need to know how to get to it. Btw,I tried both the Garmin fastboot and adb drivers as well as adding the device hardware id's into the android drivers and neither worked.
I also need to find out if there is a similar enough kernel that I can use to get a fully functional recovery mode. I did find out that you can use adb just fine in the stock one and it loads a serial driver as well.
any possible way I could get that backup you made? I apparently didnt save my backup to the pc. And currrently I messed up permissions on my Garmin trying to get recovery working. I cant run the update or anything.
I've just stumbled across this forum post from google, I too am need of fixing my phone. All that is faulty is that the recovery mode has been overwritten with an incorrect one. Is it possible to extract the recovery image and reflash it from the optus supplied Android 2.1 006-B1130-00.update file?
Or is there a way of just getting say Rom Manager to work some magic for me?
Yes, it is possible... would be easier if someone could just use dump_image on a phone that has a working recovery mode and root access. I can provide the dump app and instructions.
Where can I get the Optus update, and are you positive recovery works on it? Does it also have working fastboot?
And to the other poster, which partition do you need? Btw, Rom manager has a permission fix mode. I can get you a tar file if it is the system partition or your choice of img or tar for the others.
And to everyone, after updating to 2.1, do a master clear because a lot of 1.6 apps are left over... duplicates.
Also, odexing all apps speeds it up a lot, with the caveat that you have to re-run the odex.sh file (found somewhere here and modified by me to be more thorough) after every app update or you will get force closes.
Oh I just reflashed the update again, and I got my recover menu back!
I'm not sure if i need any help anymore, but thanks for your offer of help merwin.
By working, do you mean that you can get to it with a hardware key combination and can actually select items?
first of all ,i 'm sorry for my english .my a50 is dead too.i also delet font folder and i use the adb command 'adb reboot recovery'.but the error is device not found. and my pohone can not boot .it stop at the android guy . how can i setup the device..Q.......Q......help me ..pls

[Q] USB driver "Failed"

Hi again,
my problem is as followed,
Recently rooted my Galaxy N7000 and replaced firmware with IMilkas ICS Tablet version.
Now my problem is I want to get rid of it yet the USB is not recognized by my Windows computer.
I am unable to use Mobile Odin as it will crash instantly also unable to use Odin via PC due to my phone not being recognized.
So any help would be great !
______________________________________________________
FIXED
I downloaded via the app store an app called "Airdroid" which allows you to move files from your pc to your phone whilst both devices share the same Network!
Moved a new Rom onto my phone and rebooted it into Recovery mode
> Install Zip from SDcard located my main file and installed it.
applied the update the same way, after restarting ,it threw a bunch of random error messaged around so I used the app CWM which comes with the ROM
option : FLASH KERNEL
located same rom as before and installed it with CWM followed by a reboot I used the option Flash Update in CWM and updated Griskelo Rom .
SO thank god it worked no error messaged and my USB works again so Odin can get back to work
Most likely there is a much easier way but this is what I figured out myself and as this forum says before you sign up... You are a noob any ways !
lol
hope I helped somebody with this and hope someone else posts the easier way beneath this

[Q] Rooting android 4.04 allview P5

Hello, i just recently purchased an Allview P5 smartphone, it's really cost efficient but recently i started getting some problems because the phone is not rooted and i was wondering how to root the android 4.04. i tried the superoneclick 2.3.3 and installed adb and something from java, bu when i rung the program superoneclick the program just freezes and it's not responding. any suggestions or guides that i should follow?
best regards
Chris
Try root for HaiPai I9220. For me it works.
Having the same problem here, Superoneclick freezes on step 7 iirc.
HaiPai didn't work for me either
So that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923764
There you will find this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?othd1gf76pa97zg
It is 100% functional, but need more knowledge and skill.
Ok, I came a lot further this time, but still stuck.
As soon as I let Cygwin `patch` the recovery.img, it does the patching and stuff, but it doesn´t create a new recovery.img for some reason..
If you check page 13 of that PDF manual: I get all the same messages in Cygwin, except for that "Repacking" bit.
Any Idea why it isn't repacking?
Losing my nerves a bit because of Cygwin, what a horrible program to get to work properly. Installation went on beyond 100%, till about 2000% and then just started to count further in negatives >____<
You must have installed 7-zip archive program.
SuperOneClick should work for this device. You may try this:
1) unmount the sd-card, turn ON usb-debugging
2) turn OFF usb-debugging
3) connect device to PC
4) click "Root"
5) when "Waiting for Device" appear turn ON usb-debugging
6) when "Starting ADB Server..." turn OFF usb-debugging
7) then turn it back ON
8) and back OFF
9) repeat this while "Waiting for Device" appears again.
@Stovka: I have 7zip installed, the unpacking/extracting of the recovery.img goes fine in Cygwin, but for some reason it just skips the repack part.
@AndreyETO: As soon as I disable debugging mode, superoneclick stops the procedure, so I didn't get far with that
So sorry, I don't really know what is the problem...
It was all ok for me - the one problem was that I had not installed 7-zip, but after installing it worked exactly according to instructions.
If it were successful: after recording recovery.img to the phone is first necessary to go into CWM mode (no run phone) and install the root file attached. End CWM recovery mode is classically done by clicking on "reboot system now", but after the first time there appears one more option (just I don't know what name), which must be confirmed! Otherwise, when you restart the phone again, then will be loaded the original file and the recovery process must be repeated - upload modified recovery.img and then root file via CWM.
Found another way to root, and it worked
I used the method in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 )I used the current newest version:V15)
The first time it didn't work, but after rebooting the phone and trying again it was succesfull
Anyway, thank you guys for trying to help.

Same experience on Allview P6 Stony (P6_0201_V1179 software build). This method works for me - similarly I had to run the script (and the reboot cycle) 2x before it had an effect.
As pointers for others, before you try this method you need to make sure you have ADB drivers installed. Trying to install stock google drivers didn't work at all for me, what worked for me was installing latest PdaNet drivers (pdanetZ350.exe) from here: junefabrics.com/android/download.php *
Don't forget to install OTA Rootkeeper app afterwards and run it once - hopefully saves you the hassle of rooting again if the P6 should receive an incremental update.
Enjoy, thanks Flapperbol!

Version 18 also works
Just to let you guys know that version 18 of Root_with_restore works. I just the ADB drivers from the PDAnet install (which I cancelled after the drivers were installed) and the phone is now rooted!
Does anybody know how to get rid of those ugly allview icons? I hate those things.

[Q] Need a ROM .img for Pantech 8000 Crossover

Got this unlocked AT&T Crossover off eBay. Upgraded to Gingerbread via Pantech and rooted it using details on here (Appreciated)
Unfortunately have deleted a system ap and like a plonker had NOT backed up :crying:. Can still talk/transfer to phone via adb/usb cable, but need img to repair/restore phone to original state. can anyone please help?
Considering buying another, repeating above (Less deletion!!!) making a backup image and copying it across to current phone for a restore, would that work?
Any advice really appreciated. Yes, I know I don't deserve any.....
After considerable searching found that if I removed SIM & SD-Card, downloaded Gingerbread Upgrade from Pantech and ran installer but made sure when it asks to connect phone, it is in S/W Installing mode (Switch on with HOME/UP VOL pressed) the installer then does a clean install as it cannot see corrupted Gingerbread install.
Thanks anyway, for use of this forum.
Hey u got it?
Hey i got issues with my pantech too, i need any imagen or stock room, or upgrade tool files for gingerbread

Samsung j510fn, cant get in recovery mode, keeps in download mode.

hello all,
yesterday i decide to root my old phone, to see if i could get spoofing working on pokemon go.
flashed it manged it to get superSU , installed magisk, passed the safetycheck, and got spoofing working. but since the phone was full of old apps, i decide to do a factory reset, but looks like this ruined everything, so i went did all steps again, at 1 point i forget to enable oem option.
so i get the msg, custom binary blocked by frp, once i turn my phone on. after hours of searching i found the right firmware, and i could fix this problem.
but now, no matter what i do, if i press volume down, home, power i keep getting in download modus, instant of recovery modus.
i need to get in twrp to install magisk from there.
because if i try, it from the magisk app manager, like i did it the first time, it say say failed to load boot.img
personally i think that i have flashed some wrong roms or something, but i am really stuck now on what do to, is there something easy to uninstall everything i have done? or anyone can point me in a direction of what do now?
Samsung j510fn(2016)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/h884u0o8dy9va0l/J510FNXXU2BQJ8_7.1.1_4File.zip
Before you do that :
- Make sure that your battery is full charged !
- Put your device into Download mode.
- Load those files properly inside Odin flash tool.
- Connect your device with usb 2.0 port and once Odin detects your device click on Start .
If that doesn't help you to with latest firmware for your region :
