Please help me.
I have a Flyer 16gb Wifi. Unbranded, S-off, North euro, and running the newest leedroid.
I dont know why.. For fun i guess. But i wash trying to upgrade CWM. I installed this one cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img
I can boot to Android and Fastboot with no problem.
But now my Flyer is getting stock at the white HTC logo when i try to boot to Recovery/CWM.
If there is a way to get CWM up an running again without a clean slate i wold be nice.
Otherwise i need some info about unroot and reroot.

Thanks.. Simon
If you can get into fastboot you should be able to push the recovery partition back down. The Development threads should have more info on how to do it.
ps - didn't notice that you can boot into Android. You should be able to use a terminal program and push CWM into the recovery program too. Or ROM Manager and push CWM. But I think fastboot is your best bet.
Thanks for the attention.
How? A guide or a post wold be nice ;-)
Like i said i used this post and i should work with my tablet but it doesn't.

How else should i do it?
How did you get to this state?
I think you need to follow this thread. you may have flashed the old pre honeycomb CWM.

Yeah, if you made a mess of it you can do that. Or more you can extract the recovery.img from the zip file and fastboot flash that if you want, or re-run the RUU all options will work.
Thank you. That one worked.
Kinda got the same issue but my computers don't recognize it anymore. Can I put the recovery on my SD card an flash that way?

So i still cant get my phone rooted.
I have searches all over this forum and find many threads. I have tried many of them and nothing works. For normal people like me mutch of the words and explanations developers give are to complex to understand. I hardly know what a bootloader is, or a cmw file. And even a harder time finding out where and whitch files to download.
Is there not anybody out there who can give a step by step walktrough with links to what to download and how to use it for my kind of version.
I just want to root my darn phone to let Cyanogenmod take it over and make it happy again Any Mod suggestion would be great to.
Ps: i easly rooted and use Cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy Tab 2 so i'm not totally retarded
You rooted a galaxy but dont know what cmw is?
Anyway, all instructions are found in the sticky threads. More especially, read the second sticky thread in that section. All instructions ahve been given in exact detail there...
If you are usnsure what the words mean I suggest you read up on them as if you dont know what to do you can damage your phone.
As i said i'm kina a noob. And instead of just confusing me more why don't you or anybody else just try to link me to a guide that works.. As i said i have tried many of the guides in sticky treads and some links there are dead and others dont work.
I have updated to latest ICS and heard that i should be carefull so i dont brick my phon..as the reason i try to get help here. I found a easy guide for my tab where there was a walktrough wit links to the software i needed to downmload and use. And that is what i need here too.
So instead of complaining about how unknowledge i am cant i just get some help instead???
If you would tell us what you tried and where you stuck, maybe someone could help you.
Sticky thread in general section have valid links, as far as I know.

Y dont u unlock bootloader or install CWM and get CM9 or CM10 installed instead of rooting and then flashing CM?
By the way CWM helps u to easily flash ROMS and take nandroid backups and restore them.
So i can Just unlock bootloader and use av rom without rotting at all? This would be great because i only wanted to root it to use rom's on it.
Feel like a kid with a new toy now. Gona run home and try it asap
Some ROM's(like CM,AOKP,AOSP...) require custom kernel.
Some ROM's(mostly, stock based) can work on locked bootloader.
Most(99%) of ROM's are already prerooted.
To install any custom rom, you need CWM, to get CWM you ether need to have root and after that install CWM, or you can flash custom kernel with (in 99% of them) already included CWM.
So for us mortals the problem is still on. Tried to open the bootloader with sony's own tool, but when i turn of my phone and connect usb to get to bootloader it does not findt any drivers.. Even though i downloaded it.
I just want C-mod 10 on my phone and that's it. So how do i flash the custom kernel when i ned cmw to even get it rooted? Sorry but i guess i'm a big noob at this.
Are you on XP?
if yes,
Try to install the drivers on Safe Mode and Plug your mobile while pressing Menu key.
It will install the drivers.
I'm on Windows 7. Acording to the tutorials i found when i plug my phone to usb there should come up a message that says "could not install drivers, and from there i can find them manually.. But no such message comes up and there is nothing in device manager either.
I'm totally lost here. Have tried to root my phone before so maby some old drivers are the reason for this?

That was my plan too as i have done the same on my tab. Place cwm and rom on phone and then boot in recoverymode to install rom.. But for some reason my phone wont go in any kind of boot mode.. Tried all the buttons and nothing works.. Any ideas?
Okay so I received an Asus Transformer Prime tf201 yesterday. This morning I was able to unlock it, root it, and then I wanted to install the latest nightly of CM10 (24th). After I saw that it was indeed rooted I booted into twrp and in Wipe I did Factory Reset, System, Internal Storage (wanted to get rid of the pictures, etc. from previous owner). I had CM10 latest nightly and gapps both on my External SD Card so I knew I wasn't removing those.
Anyway after clicking on Install and then Using external SD I selected the zip of CM10 and swiped to confirm flash. It does well for about 2 or 3 minutes (the blue bar even shows progress) and then it comes up with the message E:Unable to mount '/staging'.
Please please tell me I did not mess up my Prime when I just got it???!!! Anyone that can help please help as soon as possible as I am really wanting to play with this after all the fantastic reviews I have heard. You would have my eternal gratitude and if it is not wrong to do this I will even donate via PayPal to the person that can help me "fix" my Prime.
Please KNOW I have been looking for answers to this for HOURS today and still haven't found anything to help me. I am really hoping some genius on XDA can help me.

Mine, the radio button for external is on, you could try the terminal under advanced button...command would be something like su then enter and then mount /staging or something like that.... you may want to check the command exactly, my terminal skills are limited...

Probably running TRWP 2.3.x.x, right? Some others had this same problem with the TF300 and switched back to TWRP 2.2.2.1 and their ROM flashed just fine. Might be worth a shot.

No, there is a 2.3 for both ics and jb bootloaders ... I THINK that 2.2 was ics only (can't remember for sure). If he was loading the CM10 nightly, he should have had an ics bootloader, or it would not have run.

I had the JB OTA before starting I do know that. Would have kept it if I didn't love CM so much! So would I just install twrp 2.2 through fastboot then like I did the 2.3.1.0 that I have now? Or is there another way I can do this? Thank you BOTH for your help! It is much appreciated! :good:

If you had the JB bootloader before, then you surely still have it. You would not change your bootloader by flashing a CM10 nightly ROM. The only way that I know of for you to go back to an ICS bootloader is with nvflash. If nvflash was not on your TFP when you got it, you won't be getting it anytime soon, because it cannot be installed with a JB bootloader on your TFP.
Which TWRP 2.3.1 did you load? The JB version?
The CM10 nightlies are not currently compatible with a JB bootloader, so you had no hope of running it. That may very well have caused your staging error, but I am not sure. Since you apparently have a JB bootloader, you would have to flash an appropriate ROM, like Craig Gomez' (here). But, only the JB version of TWRP 2.3.1 will work for you, as far as I know. So, I'm thinking you must have loaded the correct one.
I cannot be 100% sure that you have the JB bootloader. I hope you are sure that your TFP was updated to JB by an Asus update (OTA).
If I were you, I'd make a plan of action and post it here. Be patient and wait for a response, before moving forward. Good luck with this.

the only way back to an ics bootloader it through nvflash... if you didn't do nvflash before you started with JB then you are stuck using jb roms only I think.....you could try hairy bean .....

Okay let's see if I can get this is all right. I have The JB version of TWRP 2.3.1. As for running a different ROM I tried the Unofficial one you listed and it still gives me the Unable to mount 'staging/' error. It first says it is verifying the signature then update package, then it says Updating partition details and that is when it comes to the staging error. :crying:
I am 110% positive that my TFP was updated to JB by the Asus update (OTA). Thanks again for the suggestions hopefully someone out there will suggest something.
What about doing the PRIME FULL WIPE that someone suggests here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670824 Then trying to install the Unofficial CM10 with the JB Bootloader? Anyone know if this would work?

I wouldn't try the full wipe... what I would try is the fix permissions button under advanced.... failing that... I would try fastboot install of twrp 2.3 again (instructions on the twrp OP).... it is like you don't have rights to write to the staging partition...

If this does not work, I am at a loss of how to recreate the Staging partition (and perhaps others), but there is probably a way.

Glad to get you up and running again just do yourself a favor before you try cm10.... make a backup... or 2 I never used cm on my tab but did it on my phone.... when I restored... I had to do it twice... not sure if that is the case with the prime or not ... but if it is a JB bootloader then you should be okay... I like flashing through twrp though .. never did a rom through goo... but I am sure it works...
I need a little more help now. I went to boot into TWRP last night and I just got the dead Andy. Does that mean that putting this stock JB back on my TFP I have lost my TWRP recovery?
My TFP is rooted though as I have SU in my app drawer and I installed Titanium Backup just fine. I just wanted to make a couple of backups of my TFP (one to save on my PC and one to save on my TFP's External SD. So my question is can I reinstall my TWRP through Fastboot like I did before even with it rooted? First time I did it I followed these instructions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pW05Jf87dg&feature=plcp
But upon further reading it states that people have had problems installing JB ROMs with using the 2.3 or 2.3.1 version so should I install the 2.2 version? Please someone help me yet again possibly??? THANKS!

I think people have had issues installing 2.2 on the JB bootloader I would fastboot install 2.3.1 there is no reason it shouldn't work..... I think there is some disconnect between twrp and some of the jb roms as some devs are including twrp in their install like Mr.Wookie over at team wookie.....

Okay so I went ahead and have redone TWRP 2.3.1 via Fastboot. I then did a backup of my ROM twice onto my External SD card. After that I did a a Factory Reset through TWRP of course and then installed the Unofficial CM10 with JB Bootloader. I still got the E:can not mount '/staging' but I went ahead and installed the Gapps that was listed on the thread as well and then wiped davlik cache and regular cache. Rebooted and I am VERY HAPPY to say it FINALLY worked this time!
I was ecstatic to see that CyanogenMod symbol come up. I made sure to wait 10 minutes to let the ROM settle before doing anything and it looks very nice!
I am confused as to why it worked the second time or even worked with the staging error as well when it didn't last time. Maybe because I didn't do the wipe Internal in TWRP? Who knows all I know is my Asus is working wonderfully and I am SO HAPPY to have it back! Thank you again everyone for all your help, I LOVE THIS FORUM! :laugh: :good:

Good to hear.... not sure if your aware or not but with a decent backup ( I do one everytime I think I am going to try something foolish) even if you do a wipe, as long as you can reach twrp you can restore the prime to it's state before you started messing with it....
One of my friends BRICK his phone and he has no idea how. He has a rooted HTC ONE X on AT&T network with Viper XL (Not even sure what version of the ROM) probably from last december.
It is now stuck on the Booting animation screen and won't get passed that. I am able to access TWRP recovery, but there is not zip files or backups any longer. When I originally flashed this phone for him I had a zip file on the root of the internal SD CARD. It no longer is there and i have not rooted/flashed a phone for almost a year and can't remember.
I tried to fastboot oem lock and it fails (was thinking i could some how get it to boot and install stock jelly bean)
I am able to mount the SD card via TWRP and throw a rom in there via zip, but when i unmount i and go to restore or install i do not see any zip. When I mount again the file i put in the phone no longer exists.
Is there a work around or another way to flash any custom room. I was thinking of CM10 nightly evita... I don't care what rom as long as i can get the phone working again for him.
Is there a way to flash a rom the way we flash boot.img via fastboot where the files can reside on the PC and not the phone? Any assistance/tips would be great. Again i don't care which rom I flash and i have TWRP recovery access. Currently i have CM10 downloaded if hat helps. Thank you in advanced.

Yeah I notice that sorry, but i can't seem to find the one x forums any longer.
OK i found it sorry about that guys.
Glad you found the correct forum eventually. However, if you con boot into recovery, I'd suggest using adb to push a rom to the phone and flash that. I've always had Samsung phones, and this is my first HTC, but I would imagine the same theory applies to all vendors. If your phone can boot into recovery, and you have the right drivers installed, you can push a file to the phone and flash that.

Yeah but I would need a ROM that allows to be installed via FASTBOOT Opposed to zip file thrown in the sd card. Do you know of any Jelly bean rom? I haven't been on these forums for a while and have no idea what i can use. If you do please let me know if not thanks anyways and for your recommendation much appreciated.

Ah, was doing to many things at once, just re-read and saw your dilemma. I don't know of such a rom, but I'm still learning the ropes for HTC so I can't make a recommendation. Best of luck to ya!
Hello all
I have searched all over but have not found any similar problems.
I rooted my phone and installed CWM and would like to install a custom rom that exists for Gingerbread 2.3.6 (I flashed back to stock OS), I have found the rom that I seem to like a lot (Atomic rom) however when I put the .zip file into my external sd and use rom manager to install the rom it turns off, then the phone boots back up... Any ideas about what is happening? Maybe I do not have everything rom manager needs?
I am definitely not ready to flash the new rom using odin, unless you put the .zip file into PDA section and hit "Start" when the phone is in download mode... from the forums I read it is not as easy as installing the stock OS
Thanks in advance!

you leave so many questions unanswered here. you have provided some information here, but not the vital info and the last part is very confusing.
im sorry, I know you are new here, but you lead me to ask some very generic questions....................
are you in the right forum for the right phone? this is for the Note1
I only ask this because I cant even find any GB ROMS for this phone. the Note 1 has been updated to official JB. I would and I am sure you would hate to flash wrong files to wrong phone and wind up with a BRICK.
I am not trying to make it sound as if you don't even know what phone you have, but you would not be the first to flash wrong and kill your phone.
may I suggest you read up in the "Super Everything Thread", which is in the General Forum. you will find exactly that, EVERYTHING, there. Odin is no big deal and super easy to use. also most don't even use CWM or ROM MANAGER anymore. TWRP is now the RECOVERY of choice and much more user friendly.
there are also many YOUTUBE tutorals that can walk you through. but first, lets make sure you are in the right place.
your phone is a ???????? NOTE 1
you carrier is ?????? att, tmo, ver, sprint
it is presently running ??????? GB, ICS, JB
good luck and let us know if we help
Saurom!!!!!!! ¡¡¡¡¡¡!!!!!!! I is a custom gb rom for our i717 note

Sorry about that... I have the Samsung Galaxy Note i717 for AT&T and I am running Gingerbread 2.3.6
I thought that if a rom could run on GB it could run on any phone that has GB but your response has lead me to know that it also depends on what phone I'm running, so thanks!
I'll go and double check to see if the rom I tried to install was for the note... I guess I'm lucky I didn't brick my phone when I tried flashing the other 2 rome xD... Gonna count my blessings tonight lol

don't need to apologize to me for anything. the more information the better. not only are there so many phones out there, there are variations of those phones that have gotten people in trouble.
you have the North American version
International version
Korean version
different internals and wont all take same ROM. just be careful my friend.

I am looking into this rom, looks pretty interesting. Flashing the "AT&T fix" though, do I put that on my SD card also?
Update: For some reason I can not install rome
I am not sure what I am doing wrong because I have Rom manager do everything when I put the .zip file on my SD card and the phone restarts like normal, I even tried doing it manually in cwm recovery. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. And this rom I know for sure is meant for GB and the i717.
Any suggestions? Thanks again
You mean it's a gb rom meant for the i717 galaxy note....... I think you may be a little mixed up on what a rom is and what your actually doing...... Explain in detail what exact steps your doing when your flashing the rom so someone can help you.

I appreciate your patience
Step 1: I put the downloaded .zip rom (saurom) into my external sd card in a special folder I named Roms
Step 2: I fire up Rom manager and go to "Install ROM from SD Card"
Step 3: Go to folder containing the Saurom .zip file and select it
Step 4: Make sure "Backup Existing Rom" and "Wipe Data and Cache" are selected
Step 5: Hit "Reboot And Install"
The phone will then turn off and restart like normal, I check but the rom did not install. I honestly have no idea how I'm screwing up lol
Do you have a custom recovery installed....

You have to understand this as well, the ROMS do not install in conjunction or within the current Stock ROM. They replace them. So as stated above you have to make sure you have CWM or TWRP installed and boot directly to the custom recovery. Then wipe your data/system/cache/dalvik and after all of that install the ROM of choice.

The very first thing listed in this topic is how to install Saurom. No where does it say to try and do it through ROM Manager.
Maybe that is where your hiccup is coming from?
No further instructions needed good luck and happy flashing

Alright so I forgot that I had to wipe the data/system / cache / dalvik
But even when I tried that just now and went into installing the .zip file it said that the installation failed, is it because cwm was removed when I wiped the device?
Update your recovery to twrp 2.6

What would updating the recovery do?
Gets rid of status 7 error that makes it unable to flash.

haha, only problem is that the rom hit an error anyways so I'm still lost at what I am doing wrong...
Another question, when I reset all of the settings and stuff before I flash the rom, wouldn't that get rid of titanium back up? then how would I restore my apps and data?
Yes you are right... But first stick your phone in the freezer for 2hrs...then microwave it for 3 mins... It will cause your recovery to reconstruct and see your internal storage enabling developer options to be on... Then hit the rom installer button.
