So I have my new HOX+ (AT&T). I got it boot unlocked, perma rooted...and the first thing i tried to modify was the fonts using the "font installer" app. Well this turned into a fiasco. it installed the font...showed a whole string of *insert Asian language characters here* on the status bar, went into a reboot...and never came back again. It boots to the White HTC splash screen, and just hangs.
At this point, I can reboot into TWRP recovery...but for whatever reason....my recovery isn't present. I don't know what i screwed up...but it isn't there. So I wiped everything...now I need an OS. Preferably a factory ROM....but I don't think anything exists yet for the AT&T model. And how can I get it on the phone!? I come from a world of GS3, where Odin could save the day...
Can anyone help me out/point me the right way?

dang...no one!
I can USB mount the phone within TWRP..but when it shows up as a drive on my comp, clicking on it yields a "please insert a disk" message...
Wish I could help. I know how much your situation sucks. It's one of the drawbacks of hacking our device. The carrier or company will obviously not help since its our fault. Hopefully you got it working by now.

Still "softbricked".
I cant get my machine to recognize the device when it is on TWRP with the storage mounted, so I cannot get a zip file on it to do anything.
This is what I get when I launch into TWRP with the device plugged into my comp.

So the device wont appear under "My Computer", therefore I cannot copy any .zip file to the device, therefore, its a brick.

This does not work for a "bricked" Atrix. If the Atrix is "bricked" then USB will not recognize it. That has been my conundrum since the beginning. My Atrix is bricked because I tried to go back to Froyo from Gingerbread. Apparently there is no recovering from that.

That looks like a hard brick! Anyone please correct me if I am wrong, but there is no way of fixing that yourself. Sending to moto us is your best option if you want it fixed

What you don't do is create another thread basically asking the same thing in another forum. Merging this thread with the one in Q/A. I feel sorry for your brick, so no infraction given, as I understand one can get desperate when dealing with a hard brick, however, it is what it is and nothing can get done....
Thanks guys, I did hard rest but the phone not showing on windows pc.
maybe the factory cable be an option but I heard we need to have sbf files!?
and also, I'm still under warranty can I ship the phone from Aus to US to get it fixed? how??
Thanks again
Hi Matthew
Seeing u as a same local. Have u think of going up to 2.3.4?
Maybe by flashing using sbf files? Then....
Cos I'm thinking of getting a atrix.
Bored by the gs2.
i can get to the nvflash recovery mode tho, but what that can do?

Hello i am new to this website and i was wanting to know how to root my samsung galaxy showcase sch-i500 from c-spire wireless.I had my phone rooted before i upgraded to gingerbread the other day.I have found some directions on the website but i guess i am not doing them right.I downloaded the gingerbreak from chasefire and i scaned it with my phone but it is showing as wall papper on my applications any help would be appreciated and sorry for asking this question if it has already been asked thanks
Try this app
This is the easiest one I'd used to root my Fascinate I500, But remember to manually restart your phone by removing your battery and putting it back in. For some reason it's not doing that at the end of the process. Good luck.

Rooting i500
Did you ever get root enabled, I imagine you tried superoneclick and it failed. If you didn't get root I can help. It requires cwm and a root-package zip that you flash with cwm.
Problems rooting
I think it may have worked for the original poster but i am having BIG problems rooting my phone from cspire. The one click does not work and i have tried three other ways to do it. I am able to get recovery console access but past that nothing has happened. I followed the instructions at galay forums.net (wont let me post link but when i got to the part where i install the "su-x.x.x.x.zip" file i get the message "installed successfully. enjoy!" but when i reboot to try to go to the next step it always reboots into the recovery.

thats the exact setup I havei just got this phone asa replacement, did you use Odin to flash recovery then flash zip I linked up?I can send you what ever file you need to complete it(recovery root zip etc.) just lemme know
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
Yes I used the recovery flash (red clockwork mod) to flash the zip you uploaded for me. It says that it installs and that there are no problems but when I back out and reboot it will just boot back into clockwork rather than into the android os. The closest I've had it to booting right was using the su.x.x.x.x.zip file but when that was used my phone just boot looped (samsung logo boot up bid sanding logo for about two minutes reboot rinse and repeat)

Allright so I have a 16GB nook tablet and it has been bricked. So bricked that I dont know how to fix it. I have tried to use a bootable SD with repart.img on it several times, including reformatting and recreating the bootable SD. It goes thru the whole process, and then powers off. When I power it up, it says "installing your new software" hesitates for a second, and then gives me a screen that says something to the effect of "Your new software could not be installed. Please restart and try again". The frustration is incredible. If anyone has experience with this, please help. If not, Devs get at me as I will donate my paperweight so that you guys can figure out how to keep people from dealing with this crap. Thanks.

saying that. I have no idea how to troubleshoot beyond this point.
Try to flash a new ROM internally using your bootable CWM SD. It's worth a shot, and it might give us more information.
Just a thought...what happens when you just reboot without an SD Card? Does it give that error message every time?
When did you buy your NT?
They all have a 1 year warranty (unless you bought the extended warranty) and you might be able to just go into a BN, say that you tried an update and something went wrong and now it won't boot. Provided you bought it less than a year ago and the manager agrees (in the store it's up to the manager, if you try online you can probably get it right away) you can get a new (well, reconditioned) NT.
I've done it, and it worked. New one works great.
Yeah tried it. The manager was a ****. I took it out back and filled it fulla .308 lead lol. Thanks guys for trying to help

So i read a bunch of threads and people said the new update was fine and wouldnt try to remove root. So i decided to give it a go and see if that was true. Well when it rebooted it keeps rebooting into twrp no matter what i do. Im not good with linux commands but how do i fix this? Also i only have one file to be modified and thats for the dual window mod so i could dual window all apps. Is this part of the problem?
I found a thread that told me some command lines to restart the phone without needing to wipe but how do i get rid of this ota update?

While you can (sometimes) install an OTA while your phone is rooted, you should never try to install one when it is fully unlocked (i.e. - custom recovery installed). You edit seems to indicate you fixed it, but if you're still having issues I know there are steps to get out of the bootloop you're experiencing, I just don't have off hand where they're at. Bottom line, if you're root AND unlocked (running twrp), you should never take an OTA as there's no reason for it. You can install one of the fine stock-based roms that have been updated to the latest VZW software and have no risk in doing so. Just for future reference

Follow this command lines and that will or should reboot your phone to before you tried to install the newest update. The same thing happened to me with the last update. Those commands came in handy.

Pays to have a copy of LG Flashtool and the stock firmware
See the first post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2907508
If you have a USB otg cable, you can put the flash...zip file linked in the post on a flash drive, then tell twrp to install that to clear the ota.
Alternately, twrp has a small terminal emulator. Look at the part of the post with the commands listed. Only input the su and two dd command lines, in twrp.
After either of the above, tell twrp to reboot to system.
Once you can successfully get back to your normal system, either freeze "System updates...." or use a file manager to rename the two LGDMSClient files found in /system/app, then reboot your phone one more time.

Since you want to keep your data, try to get into download mode and flash a kdz.
If that doesn't work, I'm afraid you are gonna have to do a "hard reset" (factory reset/data wipe).
May you provide me with a good tutorial for doing it?
Here is one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
If it doesn't work, just use Google to find another one.
I will tell you about the hard reset, if you want.
I am problematic - and some alternative because I cannot install stuff on this PC - some portable version of LG drivers? I cannot find

Nope.
Get an admin to install it.
No way around it.
Unless you want to try the hard reset, which doesn't need a PC.
But you will lose all your data.
Sic! But on the downloaded mode, it's writing unrooted user b13>?
Sic! But in downloaded mode there's info that it is unrooted user b13>?

Even better!
That is meant for LG's engineers to see if your phone is rooted when you sent it in for a fix under the warranty.
If it says rooted, they will mark warranty void and won't fix it, unless you pay them.
Anyway, it let's you flash no matter what it says there.
So go ahead and flash the kdz.
Okay, cool for me.
I already started it but
1st I am not sure which version I have, can I check it somewhere

Make sure that the cable is good.
The older it is, the more likely it is to cause issues during data transfers.
My suggestion?
Get a new one.
Or, you could borrow one from a friend, but make sure it works on data transfers, not just charging.
I made 2 kdz flashes but the phone still bricks. Rescue data, but all in all install Lineageos- CM RIP. Thank you!
