I am using a rooted Atrix ME860 without CWM recovery. (USB Debugging mode is off)
2 days ago, in an attempt to enable multitouch in my mobile, I edited touchpad.cfg located in system\etc\touchpad\22 using root explorer following some guide found in internet. (I did a backup before editing it). After restarting the mobile, the screen became irresponsive to any touch. I did a lot of searching and finally, I tried to make an update.zip to place back the back-up touchpad.cfg in android recovery mode. However, it failed every time when come to signature verification. (I tried 5-6 type of different signer app, java script etc and made over 30 update.zip but all failed)
With my limited knowledge to android phone I did an external hard reset thinking all would be done, but the screen is still not response to any touch after that.
Any suggestion guys?
Thank you.
You can't use stock recovery for custom ZIPs, only for officially signed ZIPs.
Hard reset is also irrelevant since it doesn't touch /system at all.
See here, maybe it helps: http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1813668/
try to update through fastboot. do more search how to?
or try to flash cwm recovery as a start.
any way your phone not bricked, the last resort will be flashing sbf but u will not going through it.
Thanks for replying.
I checked the link. Seems that guy with the same problem could not solve the problem..

Yes.
After searching I unlocked my phone and installed CWM recovery and a CM9 unofficial ROM found in this forum. Thanks for the help.
The touchscreen problem was solved but there is another new problem..
My phone failed to mount the internal SD card. I tried to mount it in setting -> storage -> mount SD card (under internal storage)
Nothing changed except a notification about SD card safe to remove appear. (This notification appear each time after rebooting phone too)
I tried to mount/format SD card/emmc in recovery but got error. Reflashing CWM and ROM also didn't help.
I tried most solution found in internet except the relock then unlock method as i have no idea how to do that.
Thanks for any help again.

I had this problem once to. On my HTC Flyer, nothing I could do to recognize the phone. I had to ditch the HTC Driver and tried every copy of the android drive I could find on XDA. I will see if I can find the file that worked for me. But in the interim you may want to try a few.
BTW I am not an expert. This worked for me and it sounds like the same situation to me. :fingers-crossed:
Here's a question: where'd you get the recovery? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, i don't see your device as supported. Also, i believe they're called universal naked drivers, that may be of help.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20058157&postcount=1 if you havent found them.
and in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2129298, the cwm versions are removed.."CWM 6.0.2.7 is not save to use, you may damage your phone. "
so hopefully you tried these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825
I am not a developer or anything & havent read many forums...but while playing with myTouch I did get stuck a few times.
Somethings I cant point out if u wanna try as a layman:
1. can u mount your sd card through recovery?
2. if you can than just pick another rom for your device and put it onto your sd card
3. wipe data & partition, wipe cache, delete davlik. some devices work ONLY with wipe script (for my friend only the wipe script worked)
4. dont use odin. go to cwm recovery & install zip from sd card & choose the rom (the 1 from step 2).
I think that should get u out safely....hope it helps
@bodh
i actually installed a cwm 5 version
maybe thats the cause of the whole problem
@indiankarmas
i did install multiple roms from the sd card, first cm9 then stock rom
but it doesnt really work
how i fixed the problem:
when i flashed cm9 and used the bootloader with odin to pass the recovery mode my phone booted the stock os
installing from the external sd didnt work, i just wiped my phone for nothing
it booted the stock os, i didnt want this but this made my pc recognize my phone
so i transferred the rom and gapps in the internal sd
got back to recovery mode and installed from internal sd
and used the bootloader again to pass the recovery mode
again, i appreciate you guys trying to help me out
I am using HTC Explorer A310e. I rooted my cellphone yesterday. After rooting my cellphone, I had WhatsApp install and uninstalled couple of times, which led to some corruption as well. Thought of clearing the space by "Factory Reset" option with an intention of retrieving the built in apps.
But after I did this, runs a process of resetting and when it restart it stuck at the main screen where HTC comes out on the display. My cell phone is not running beyond this screen. Cellphone screen is still on and displaying the "htc" only. please help me what to do.. Reply as early as possible

Dude HTC Explorer is an awesome device.
Go to HTC Forum . Download any custom ROM . I'll suggest cm9 for now. Copy the ROM zip to the root of your SD card. Download Gapps and copy them too to the root of your SD card.
Reboot into Bootloader (hold volume down + power button).
Highlight Recovery and press power button to select it. Now your phone will boot in recovery mode.
Do a data/factory reset.
Install zip from sd card < then choose zip form SD card < then install rom zip < and then install gapps zip
Fianlly reboot..
Cheers you got your phone back working ..
Thank you omerjerk
Thanq.....
but would there be a direct link for the custom ROM?
I already tried
marvel_perfect_stock.zip
PG05IMG.zip from googled forum links
both of these installation aborted due to some error or issues.
I searched for custom ROM like cm9 as well.
I know the steps to boot into Bootloader and trying to install from a zip file, but the source ROM is not available.... Please help.
Try Gamersab rom. European stock based optimized Rom.

you can factory reset your phone if you have not rooted it... rooting instruction clearly mentions that if you factory reset your phone after rooting it may result that your phone won't boot... only solution after that is to flash a custom Rom... sorry if I am late...
Hello. I'm kind of new to all of this. I have the android incredible 4g lte which WAS running the CM 10.1 mod but I recently wiped everything for the CM 11 mod. No, I didn't create a backup or restore. Yes, I feel incredibly stupid. Now I can't get the cm11 mod installed. It gives me an error that says "(Status 7)" in TWRP (v2.2.0). I've been doing a bit of reading and am having some trouble understanding what to do here.
Do I need to flash over the ClockworkMod recovery software using SDK tools and then flash over the recovery file from this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552150
Is the recovery needed to install CM11?
Do I need to be using the clockworkmod recovery software? I don't remember the steps that I took to get cm10.1 installed as it was a couple of years ago. I remember the process taking me a couple of hours.
I would very much so appreciate the help. Thanks
EDIT 1: I managed to install Clockwork manager and get rid of twrp and I "installed" the mod. Unfortunately, the mod doesn't load and now the HTC boot screen just hangs indefinitely. My computer is recognizing the device but mounting the sdcard isn't showing anything on my computer which is a pretty big problem as I need that in order to at least go back to the stock RUU. I can get back into the bootloader and recovery but am unsure what to do at this point. I am also having a difficult time ADB pushing anything to the /storage/sdcard1/ directory. I ran as admin and still no luck.
Also, phone is not s-off.
EDIT 2: CWM not mounting sdcard1. Trying newer version of TWRP
EDIT 2a: TWRP 2.7.0.0 gave me access to sdcard1 from PC again.
EDIT 2b: Tried different another CM11 download. Still hangs at HTC bootscreen.
EDIT 2c: SD card no longer is recognized through phone. Am using an SD adapter directly to computer to access and change files... Problem seems to be getting worse, the more I screw with it.
EDIT 2d: Switched to CWM Recovery v6.0.4.6. Install of rom took less than a minute. Am skeptical... And no dice. Could really use some help...
EDIT 3: At this point I tried the avatar rom and it stops at the HTC screen for around 45 seconds then continues on to a black screen with the menu button lit up. Not sure what's going on...
LAST AND FINAL EDIT: I'm a moron... I didn't flash the boot.img to the boot directory. Feel free to make fun of me in the comment boxes below!!!
Phone: LG Aristo MS210 (Metro PCS)
Bootloader: TWRP 3.0.3.0
So let me explain. I was just figuring out how to root the LG Aristo since I had never done it with a custom ROM. Yes, true story. Anyway, I was happy I got it working perfectly until I rebooted my phone. When I rebooted it, SuperSU was gone. I tried going to the play store and redownloading it, but I got an error code -504, and the thing is, I couldn't download any apps. ANY. I decided to look the error code up and I can't find anything on it. I tried multiple times doing multiple different things. From factory resetting, reflashing SuperSU, to factory resetting and then flashing SuperSU, wiping dalvik-cache along with everything except for system. It didn't work and I thought I could get it working.. Well... this next part I really messed up on. I decided to wipe everything. I selected all options and slid the cursor and it failed. The wipe failed. It said "E: /sdcard1 unable to partition" or something like that. I noticed that when I was wiping earlier the internal storage was also called that, and the funny thing is I have no microSD card in my phone. So. :/
Now when I boot I'm stuck on the LG splash screen and nothing else happens. I tried recovery mode (without ADB) with the power button + vol down key as I read here: (I'd post link but I'm a new member) that's how you get into recovery/factory reset. I'd use ADB to get into recovery, but since I just wiped the system, I don't have USB debugging enabled. I tried anyway and I gotta say this is my worst nightmare as I'm too young to get a job, (15 yrs. old) so I can't get a phone. :/ Oh, and if this can be useful: I know it connects to my PC over USB because I hear the sound it makes when a new device is connected. Is there any way I can use that to unbrick it?
EDIT 9/10/2017 9:31 PM (Eastern Time): I managed to get into twrp. I'm currently looking online for how to flash android 7.0 nougat (OS it originally had)

Hi,
Well the only way to fix this is that u need to be able to boot into recovery.
If u tried booting into recovery by holding the power and vol+/- and u end up booting to the boot logo, then recovery is also wiped.
In this case, u will need to check if u have access to fastboot. If so then obtain the twrp recovery for ur device and flash it then tried booting into recovery using the appropriate keys.
When I get time, I will research ur device for any recovery tool and stuff.

Plugged in my old Captivate the other day to charge, and when I came back to it, was stuck in CWM. And would not boot into OS. I have some pics and videos I would like to pull off of it. I tried flashing to stock with Odin, but no love. Tried various kernels and CWM's and non of them will mount /sdcard. As far as I know it hasn't been wiped, as everything I've done says it can't mount /sdcard. Thought it was on CM11 but the boot logo looked like CM10.
Have been trying this http://howtorecover.me/data-recovery-internal-storage-android-phone-guide, but I am stuck at the "Making an image of Android internal storage". And not even sure this will work because I have to do everything in Recovery.
Can log into ADB and do some stuff while in Semaphore_KK_3.4.2c with "adb device= 3935DD422FE700EC recovery"

Great, so can you direct to a way to do it? Stuck on the above guide. Was stuck on SU privileges but aftter finding my current recovery and flashing su.zip every rime I boot the phone. Seem to be passed that. When I get to abd try to copy image it doesn't work.
Also I have read in some the posts that restore in recovery doresn't wipe personal files. Is that true?

Yeah there is a way before I say it What phone are you using again?
well in some cases and on some phones when you change the recovery to a custom one all data will be destroyed
so can you actually boot the phone and does it goes into the homescreen?

It's a Samsung Captivate sgh-i897, will not boot into OS. Everything I've tried flashing was with Odin. tried a couple one-click stock odin installers. But even those would get blocked by mount error when the phone would reboot to install the OS.

Hi there,
Okay so have you tried using Samsung Keis software it should help you to restore that phone however I'm not sure that you could the recover your old files on that phone but you can try various phone recovering software
Kies won't let me connect through recovery or download. Tried doin factory reset in recovery and that doesn't work either.
Hello,
I am pretty sure that the old Android phone cannot give your data back if you have saved any files after losing old data. New data might have overwritten the previous deleted files and you cannot retrieve them again. But if you have not saved any files after deleting then I must say, you can restore the files using a recovery program (androiddata-recovery.com/android-phone-recovery.php).
Going through this will allow you to get back every data deleted from your old Android phone without any backup. It is easy to use and one of the best reliable software to recover lost files from Android phone.
