Nozomi-Recovery | CWM Stuck | Errors | Errors | Errors | NEED HELP. - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

So, I successfully installed Nozomi-recovery using fastboot.
But I forgot to place SuperSU.zip & kernel.zip in the memory.
NOW, IT IS STUCK IN CWM RECOVERY.
Whenever I try to reboot system, it reboots in the CWM Recovery.
And I've also tried Mount USB but it shows 'UNABLE TO OPEN UNS LUNFILE(NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY)
So, I can't copy the files.
PLEASE HELP. Please

bootloader locked or unlocked

the bootloader is unlocked.

Try ti Flash ans stockbased Kernel
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

Hard power off the phone, volume + power until you feel 3 vibrations. Download a stock ftf, extract the kernel.sin file from the ftf using winrar or whatever else you want to use. Flash the kernel.sin with the command "fastboot flash boot kernel.sin" then finally execute the command "fastboot reboot" and your device will reboot into system.

Uuuh i have done the same
Hey there i have done exactly the same thing any word on how you managed to fix it, have been spending ages all day trying to work out how, downloading different kernels etc.
Just a note my firmware is the .453 version
if any links are available they would be appreciated :cyclops:

[Q] Can I install a ROM to SD from Fastboot?

I am needing install a new rom to my SD card...but can't simply move the file over to my phone at the moment (er, I only have fastboot right now). Can I move a file over using fastboot and then use clockworkmod to flash it?

Lemme Rephrase
OK...lemme rephrase this question so you guys can tell what I am up to:
Is there a way to use Fastboot to install Streakdroid 1.5.3 on my Streak? I have 1.6.1.zip file on my streak right now, but when I attempted to flash the rom, all I get it the Energy Star Bios Screen....I am trying to revert back to 1.5.3 so that I can use the phone. Please advise...as right now I have a brick. I am stuck in the Energy Bios screen and this phone isn't wanting to let go.
When I try to enter "fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.3-nobb.zip", I get the following error message:
archive does not contain "android-info.txt"
archive does not contain "android-product.txt"

If you can get into fastboot can't you use the QDLtool to install a working ROM?

have you try to install the zip file using recovery?
I did the same mistake,try to install via fastboot but it didn't worked.
But then I try it via recovery and install the zip file.

Update To My Issue
Schiz - While I get to the recovery screen, the only ROM I have is 1.6.1, and that seems to be failing
Marvin - I am looking into QDTool now...do you have a link that you would recommend?

Visit streakdroid.com. Read the guides and get what you need from the DL section. I've never had to use the QDLTool.

If you can get into Recovery you can mount your SD card to your computer via USB. Then transfer the file over that way and install ZIP from SD. Your Fastboot update method is incorrect.
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
'
I just verified with StreakMod recovery that you can in fact "mount sd card via PC" under the advanced menu.
So, if you are able to fastboot, flash StreakMod recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while rebooting.
Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu

[Q] Rooted XPS being not able to install CWM

My XPS is ROOTED w/o unlocking bootloader.
I follow the following instruction to install CWM on my XPS.
However, I got stuck when typing the cmd comment.
It kept telling me the device is not rooted, but Im certain on the fact that
my XPS is rooted since I have superuser, RE, Titanium backup.
PS: I am using Generic CH (1257-3740) XPERIA S LT26i ROM (6.1.A.0.452)
How to Install Doomlord’s ClockworkMod Recovery on Xperia S
Download the Doomlord CWM Recovery image (download link here) and the Wi Fi Module for Doom Kernel (download link here) and place the same to the computer.
Go and rename the “S-DooMKernel-v01_kernel.elf” file into “kernel.elf”.
Copy the file renamed on the same folder with ADB / fastboot.
Take your phone and its USB cord and by using both connect it with the computer.
Copy-paste the “S-DooMKernel-v01-Modules.zip” file from the PC to the Xperia S SD card.
Disconnect the smartphone from the computer.
Reboot it by entering in fastboot; press the Volume Up button while connecting the phone with the PC.
On the computer open command prompt (Start -> run -> cmd) and enter the command: fastboot flash boot kernel.elf. If this isn’t working try with: fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.elf.
The handset should reboot.
When you see the light turn blue hold the Voluem Up button. The Xperia S will enter in recovery mode.
In the recovery menu select “install zip from sd card” and pick the file copied there on step 3.
The installation procedure should begin. Don’t press anything as the process might take up to 10 minutes to complete.
In the end, from the recovery mode menu select “reboot system now” and you are done.
There you have it; that was the easiest and fastest way in which you can learn how to install Doomlord’s ClockworkMod Recovery on your Xperia S smartphone. Do tell us if there were problems on your way, of if you had issues in understanding one of my directions. Now you can go and update your Xperia S with the lasts ROMs available. Take a look and see if the Cyanogen Mod 9 Ice Cream Sandwich ROM is what you are looking for.

Waiting for someone else to confirm this method. You should post it on General or maybe Dev section, to attract more attention.

Install custom rom (s-on)

i am noob here, so i need a little help.
after reading many guides and watching videos, i rooted my htc evo 3d gsm using htcdev method.
flashed clockworldmod recovery v 5.0.2.0
installed supersu v1.30
now my phone is unlocked with s-on
i did a nandroid backup
tried to install a custom rom by wipping all 3 datas
installed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161968
but nothing happened.
i m still running the stock rom.
I found these instructions but couldnt understand them
Code:
- Extract boot.img from zip and put into your folden when you have fastboot.
- Put rom into sd
- Full wipe from recovery
- Flash rom
- Flash boot.img with an erase cache before and after boot flash
can anyone help me plz
thanx in advance

The easiest method available is to flash 4EXT recovery and turn on smartflash in options. this way you wont need to flash boot.img every time you install a rom.
If you still want to know what that guy was trying to say then read on.
during unlocking you must have used adb.exe and fastboot.exe files. you need to extract boot.img file from your ROM zip and put it in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located.
after that open cmd and navigate to that folder. then connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn off phone and hold power+vol down to boot into bootloader and select fastboot from menu)
the phone should now show "FASTBOOT USB". now enter this command in cmd without the inverted commas: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it should something like sending and write OK in cmd
then reboot phone.
P.S. that rom is very similar to stock rom with little visual differences. check in settings>about phone>software number.. if it shows skydragon3D then your rom flashed correctly

thank you so much man

[Q] No android-info.txt & android-product.txt ~I Need Help~

Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting to the forums. I have been trying to get everything done without having to ask questions since there are so many all over the place and I can see how it can get tiring trying to help everyone when their may be an answer out there already if you look. However, I have ran into an issue that I can't seem to find much information on. I have the HTC Rezound that is S-On (apparently you need a Linux machine to get S-Off which I don't have. Using Windows 7.) and have been using fastboot to get things done. I have unlocked the bootloader and have installed the 'Amon Ra' recovery and setup Superuser and SU. As far as I know, I have to use ROM's that are S-On friendly (right?) and I chose to try out 'EclipticRez' and later 'Talon'.
As I tried to flash the ROM's through fastboot it fails with the following errors every time and I cannot continue:
archive does not contain android-info.txt
archive does not contain android-product.txt
From what I found is that it may be a bad download of the ROM. Maybe.... But it happened consecutively with two different ROM downloads.
I also read that maybe the recovery wasn't setup, which as far as I know it is. Should I use a different recovery? Everyone usually references to using CWM, which I wouldn't mind using but I couldn't figure out how to get SU access.
Can I just create the files myself? They are only txt files after all.
If anyone can help me with this I will be so grateful! I'm pretty new to this and it has definitely been a fun learning experience for me
Much thanks in advance!

1) Switch to TWRP or CWM for your recovery.
2) You install the rom zip via recovery.
3) You then need to fastboot flash the kernel from the rom zip you downloaded. You don't install the whole rom via fastboot.
To borrow from the CM11 thread.
- Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Boot to the bootloader.
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
- Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
- Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Since you're s-on, you'll need to do this whenever you install a new rom. Using these steps, you can install any rom you want.

Solved!
Thank you, Mjones, I finally got it! I knew it was much easier than I was making it out to be. I was missing the kernel! Yeah, a crucial part in the process, I know
I first ran CWM and flashed the ROM over and ran the .zip through recovery (which I couldn't understand at first as I could never find it in the directory) but the installer would only go 50% and would fail... makes sense why now lol
I later flashed TWRP and backed up again after recovering from the fail. I flashed over the kernel and voila! So simple... Had to slap myself.
Thanks again! Case solved.
REV3NT3CH, that is sweet!! I have been hoping there is a way to gain s-off with Windows. I have 7 at work and 8.1 (which I can't get anything to work on) at home. I actually have to focus on work today haha so I'll look into the method and try it out tomorrow if I can. Thanks for all of the help.

I need to be able to do it via fastboot, as my Motorola Electrify M is stuck in a bootloop and there's no way I could find to boot into recovery. I'm using ./fastboot update name_of_update.zip and it is an official OTA .zip but I still get this error. Any suggestions?

Did you try this first? (Right from Moto's site)
Perform a factory reset using external keys
1. Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
2. Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
3. Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
4. Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
5. Tap on Vol down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted, and tap Power key. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap on Vol down key until coming to Yes and tap Power key
6. After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
7. Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.

can't boot into recovery.
can't boot into system.
Only EDL Mode and Fastboot Mode, but fastboot is Locked whic I cant unlock because I cannot boot into system to toggle USB Debugging and allow OEM unlocking
Qualcomm is harder to flash than MTK that can use SP FlashTool.
on this I use QFIL but keeps "sahara error". I tried searching and try moving firmware file to bin but no Luck. I'm currently trying different version of QFIL Tool.
If it FAILS my only HOPE is to use MUT-QCfire which will Require a "SmartCardReader" Which is a bit pricey and I don't even know if it will work on my device.

[Resolved] install cwm and rom with unlocked bootloader

Hi, I'm trying to install a recovery for my xperia u (st25i) and a custom room (cm-12.1-20150704-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat).
I'm a bit confused... is the kernel included inside the room or do I have to look for one with the cwm included. And how can I flash it using fastboot. I already have the room ready to install but since I don't have any recovery installed (I keep trying volume + or - while powering on and nothing...).
I supose the command is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Not sure about how to flash the room.
I found this but it seems the link it's down...
I would appreciate a link to the CWM recovery and the commands to flash it and also the custom room.
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer. I was able to flash an old version of the CWM recovery, but I think I just fukd up... By mistake I zeroed the userdata/sdcard partition (using diskpart clean all), since then I cannot mount it in the CWM recovery: it always says "Can't mount /sdcard/", everywhere, trying to partition it, trying to factory reset... any option will give me that error. I already tried giving it format, fat, fat32, extfat... none works.
I tried some fastboot commands like erase userdata and so, and now I can't even mount the /data/ partition that I was able to mount.
But I'll try flashing it using the flashtool as you say.
Edit: Fixed! It seems the recovery from that kernel repaired the partitions and I was able to install the zip from there. Thanks!
