Hi,
I traded a phone with someone and the rom they had was acting up.. the Infected Rom (cdma verizon)... When I got the phone, I told him he could keep his SD card and I could keep mine.. i guess the P something image file was on there and now Im just rooted with Teamwin recovery and not able to flash any rom or restore the Infected rom i nandroid backed up.
I have fastboot 1.50 S On but unlocked
Now imma be at work and not have a working phone. This isn't cool. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME IF YOU CAN HELP peeps. I would really appreciate it.
I also tried the unlocking method all over again but the Java SDK wont install.. it tells me to disable my virus protection (I did) and then it says unable to install it. This is just a mess man.

If you're interested in reverting back to completely stock, the RUU files are available at http://www.goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu . Both the PG86IMG.zip and the .exe files are available there.
Interesting the device is flashed to verizon, at least you mention the device is on CDMA verizon. The only issues I can forsee here will be 3G data/MMS might not work via Verizon if using a stock Sprint ROM.
Of course, these *might* work and they can also be *tweaked* but I doubt, out of the box, they will work. Phone calls and SMS should work over verizon using the stock sprint ROM.
Here is my usual lecture, reading this will save you a lot of time and headache, regarding flashing a ROM and kernels on the EVO 3D with hboot 1.5 and htc's unlock method:
Essentially, if you're looking to flash a kernel or ROM (which many times also include a kernel), there are three basic methods (two seem the easier) with hboot 1.50 and htc's unlock method:
1) For Kernel Flashing: From Android mode, using my application, Flash Image GUI. Put the kernel .zip file on your sdcard, select from inside the application and flash.
For ROM Flashing: Pull out the kernel file (usually named boot.img) out of the ROM .zip and push to sdcard. Flash using Flash Image GUI.
If you're away from a computer and want to flash any kernel, this is a great tool!
2) Load the custom recovery, NOT using the traditional method (reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc), but a specific method for Hboot 1.5. From the prompt use: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img.
This will temporarily boot the custom recovery image and the HTC unlock method will grant it write access to the boot partition while in this mode.
In this temporarily booted recovery mode, when a full ROM (with kernel included) is flashed, the kernel will flash correctly.
3) Boot into recovery using the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc, and after the custom recovery has loaded, flash the ROM. Reboot into fastboot mode and then separately flash the kernel from the computer: fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img.
Downside to this method would be if a zImage is included instead of the boot.img for the kernel, won't flash correctly.
Being without a phone is rough now a days! Hope that helps and points in the right direction!
so sorry.. i meant to say CDMA Sprint.. i probably was so frustrated and typed verizon. I am about to read what you post completly.
Thank you so much for the reply! I purchased the GUI App from the market a few days ago and I wasnt sure if it would work on my phone because that PG86IMG.zip wasn't on the root of my SD card (it's on the other guy's sd card) I will try your method to flash a ROM.
I was able to get the Rom restored from the nandroid backup someone last night.. I still need a new rom because this one has touch screen problems. Thanks again
Do I have root?
First you install the unlock APK, unlock it...Install goo beta, Install Open-Script Recovery, reboot and ill have TRWP? and be able to install custom roms?
IM READY TO JUMP SHIP!
You have your recovery to install everything.....

install one. get goo manager from market place. then go in goo manager, go to settings I believe. then tell it flash open script recovery. It will flash the TWRP recovery for prime. all touch screen based. then with goo manager, you can find all the great toms for prime in there and flash directly from there. plus it'll let you know when there is updates for your custom rom. check it out. IMO, has alot more features and more straight forward that CWM recovery.
actually there a sticky thread in developement section that has video guides for the prime. one of them shows you how to install this recovery I mentioned if you unsure.
also a video showing you how to flash a custom rom, with TWRP and goo manager, is there also

Yeah steps sound good. you could always flash a ROM that has root. I dont think you need root to install twrp. Double check though. post in twrp thread to make sure.

But does anyone know if that method will work 100%

Unlocking will not root your prime. I think Goomanager needs superuser rights so you will need to be rooted to flash TWRP (at least it asks for SU when I check for rom updates).
I use CWM since there have been a few stories floating around of people bricking their primes when trying to restore using TWRP. I am sure it is fine but it just makes me a little nervous...
If you're unlocked, not rooted and want to install CWM follow method 1 here:

There is nothing that will work 100%, but its pretty close, maybe 98%? Anytime someone does anything with the bootloader, recovery rom, or OS rom, there is a chance for bricking: interuption in the write process, loss of power, corrupted dl (crc check should catch most of those). If your worried about bricking it, leave your TFP stock and await the OTA's - that way if it gets bricked by Asus then they are responsible and you havent nullified your warranty.
Unlocking the bootloader allows the use of non stock bootloaders/recoveries to be installed and used. From the new bootloader/recovery, you can install a rom that either has root, or not. You don't even have to change roms after unlocking. The 2 are independent.
Right -
Unlocking with the APK does not root or in any other way modify or prep the prime for what you're about to do. Depending on your stock ROM revision this is either very easy or a complete pain in the ass, I'll provide both versions:
For Stock ROM ending .15 or earlier -
* DO NOT RUN THE GOO IM.MANAGER FIRST. Follow these steps below.
* Download Sparky's APK to root - it's in the development forum for the TF Prime. Run it. This will get you root access on the system. It's automated and practically idiot proof, just follow the on screen instructions.
* If you're going the Team Win route, once rooted, load up the Goo.im manager, then follow the instructions as per a rooted installation for getting TW Recovery into place. This is pretty painless really and works automatically, approve the Superuser permissions as required. Once the recovery is in, you can reboot into it and then get with the flashy.
-----
If you're on the Stock ROM ending .21, you're going to have to do what I did. As you're already unlocked using the BLOB files to downgrade -will- result in a hard brick. SO!
* Install ADB and Fastboot onto your system, as well as the universal USB naked driver which you can find on this forum.
* Search for DotTech install ADB and Fastboot - follow this guide, it's probably the easiest way to get a working fastboot and ADB environment up and running.
* Enable USB debugging on the tablet under developer options.
* Set up the universal driver, you'll need to reboot your TF201 and hold the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see some text in the top corner. Do NOT press volume up to go into Recovery Image mode or you'll just walk into a dead end.
* Shortly after you'll see three icons, press volume down ONCE and then volume UP once, the USB icon in the middle should be highlighted and you should see text saying "Entering Fastboot Protocol" or similar.
* Plug the USB cable into the tab and the PC, test whether you have a working fastboot install by typing fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot, if your tablet reboots without you touching it, then you've got working fastboot access. Remove the cable, reboot to fastboot mode as described above.
* Meantime, download openrecovery-twrp-2.1.3-tf201.blob from the team win site, and stuff it in the same directory that you set up Fastboot/ADB, rename it to twrp.blob. Plug your tablet back in and then issue the command fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob , if this goes to plan you'll see a couple of lines of text on the command window which will tell you that it's been successfully flashed in. YOU STILL DO NOT HAVE ROOT THOUGH, SO NO SILLY STUFF
* Finally, download the ROM of your choice, place it in the base /sdcard directory, then reboot the tab and hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN, when you see the text, this time hit VOLUME UP, and you'll be sent into the team win recovery suite, at this point you can wipe and flash the newly prepared ROM as per normal.
* For the first occasion I -strongly- recommend you use Virtuous Prime-S as you can generate a solid backup environment out of it, as well as the fact it's not too departed from Stock, so it's a good way to break yourself in.
Hope this helps.
This whole blob thing is new for me since i have always insta-rooted, and CWM'ed any android device i get; but from what I've gathered, it is used by ASUS to lowlevel write the os on locked systems, similar to the way nvflash dumps img's directly to the memory. Once your unlocked with the CWM or twrp, then you can no longer use blobs, just the rom zips. The recovery rom handles the unpacking and dumping of the kernel and OS into the appropriate partitions. Some roms are zipped with install scripts that wipe your cache, user space and dalvik - but its always a safe bet to do that anyways.
Nice writeup Hobbesian
Well, some blobs are fine, but generally they're strictly either Team Win Recovery or Clockwork mod recovery suites, and they need to be slipped in using fastboot (I believe ROM manager and GOO managers use their own scripts to handle installation) as a rough rule. The "big" BLOB files which Asus puts out are a guarantee to hardbrick an unlocked device (some days I wonder if it would kill Asus to offer a route to re-lock and re-stock a device on the proviso that if you brick it doing so you're still out of warranty).
That said - Virtuous Prime is definitely an excellent first step into Custom ROM tinkering, it gives you root and all the associated useful features, as well as the ability to start experimenting with more feature heavy ROM builds such as Cyanogen and AOKP Cornerstone. They're even nice enough to include a partially tweaked build.prop which saves you a lot of the work in modifying that.
I should point out my guide is relevant only if you already applied the unlock APK to your system, if you haven't done so, there's alternative routes including the downgrade blob option to get root without unlocking your device.

The method 1 in the link will install ClockWorkMod which I use as my recovery. You can completly miss step 3. If you really want to use TWRP then do the goomanager thing.
However, before you do a wipe and install AOKP (ethher from CWM or TWRP) MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM!! That's important (hence caps ) - people are always on here complaining that they are soft bricked because of a bad download and not making a backup.
EDIT: if you're in fastboot and you cannot get adb to recognize your prime you need to install the correct drivers for your pc/mac. Hobbesian describes how to do this a few posts above this. In his nice write up he also describes how to flash TWRP directly from fastboot. If you want TWRP, follow his instructions since you'll have less messing around to do.

I think both ways are the same. There's no correct answer to that. It depends on whether you would prefer to use CWM or TWRP.
Hi, i'm new to this forum and i need help to fix my phone. I tried to mod my phone and I end up brinking it (I think) and here is what I did:
1- Unlock my bootloader. Successfully
2-Flash TWRP recovery image. Successfully
3-Rooted with Android_Revolution_HD_Root_and_BusyBox. Successfully
4-Here is where everything started... I tried to flash a rom (Bulletproof-m7-3.2) and everything went wrong and please do not ask what because i do not know :crying:
now I do not have no OS and my internal storage is not working or missing or it being wipe off I do not know. I can access bootloader and TWRP recovery image but i can't install another rom because of the problem with the storage that do not let me copy files into it. Well hopefully somebody could help me with this and here is a picture from the bootloader.
Can you boot into your twrp recovery? You can always install the rom through side load. Some one correct me if I'm wrong with that because I'm not very experienced with that but I'll look around for a thread for it.
However I use a method I feel is very simple, but you just need a otg usb adapter. Put your custom rom zip on a flash drive and plug it in the otg before booting into recovery. Make sure you have the latest twrp too (2.6.0.0). The n you can install from external SD.
Again though, I think you can install from a side load method or adb.

ADB Sideload and ADB Push should both work with that recovery. I have issues with my Asus Windows 8 machine, even on the Ubuntu side, but the old faithful wife keeps a Gateway POS around with Windows 7 on it. I've used both commands successfully in Windows 7 every time.

Bulletproof-m7-3.2 = kernel, just to clarify.
Sounds like you have to sideload a rom on there
Hello everyone,
first of all im a total beginner on this field and it's the first time doing this stuff.
since there are no updates further than 4.2 for the beautiful HOX+ i tried to flash the cyanogenmod11 rom on my device. i used hasoons all-in-one toolkit. i followed the guide step by step and got stuck now in a hopefully not that serious problem.
i unlocked bootloader and flashed the cwm international recovery. the recovery was working fine and i did a backup. then i flashed the kernel with the boot.img from the cyanogenmod11.zip and the problems started. when normally booted the phone lights up with the white htc screen and then turns off again after about 3 seconds. i haven't flashed the CM11.zip yet and i guess that was the mistake? i still can acces the recover as well as the bootloader but like already said the phone doesn't start. another problem is that adb doesn't find the device enymore and only prints an empty line when using "adb devices" howevery using "fastboot devices" still gives me the proper result. hasoons toolkit also doesn't recognice the phone anymore.
if anyone could help either getting back to a custom rom or preferably setting up cyanogenmod properly would make me really happy =).
i hope this is the right place for this. i also searched around for hours and hours but can't find anything that helps me.

you normally flash the zip via recovery, do you already have the zip on your phone?
if so, go into recovery and install, find the zip file and install it
if you don't have the zip on your phone then you will need to sideload the zip to your phone, (fancy way of copying the file to your phone) then post 4 tells you how to sideload the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2066390

Try flashing the ROM onto the phones storage. Then you can install the ROM. If you cant even charge your phone then you have bigger problems than not having an OS installed.

Hiya
I've desided to change my rom on my G925F and I have it rooted however I am unable to reboot into the bootloader I can't find any way to unlock it.
Any thoughts, hints, ideas that would help me in my quest to rid my phone of bloatware would be greatly appreciated
You won't need to unlock your bootloader if you have a 925F - do you mean you can't boot into recovery mode? What exactly are you trying yo achieve? Do you want to flash another firnware, or just de-bloat your current firmware?
Hi
I guess I should have been a bit clearer, my plan/goal is to flash another firmware onto my phone
Maybe I should say why I want to get into the bootloader:
I want to install fastboot and I can't cause I can't get into bootloader

So if I understand your request, you'll first need to flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP, which you do via Odin. Once you have that, you can flash a new custom firmware as an unsigned .zip file. Follow the instructions here - this is what I used on my 925F.

Umm. . . According to that link you've posted, the Galaxy S6 isn't even supported. I suspected as much, as Fastboot is usually something you only see on pure Android devices (Nexus phones/tablets).
I'd strongly suggest you do some more reading on this before proceeding, as you'll almost certainly end up with an expensive paperweight otherwise!!
