Hey guys,
I don't what happened, but after rooting the HTC One I was attempting to install the Viper ROM, and things just went downhill from there like my phone is stuck at the booting screen, and I can't do anything I have been here trying to figure out what to do. Anyone who knows what to do please tell me ASAP. I can't seem to be able to mount anything, and I tried downloading all kinds off softwares, doesnt seem to work. Please give me step by step instructions. I want to fix this ASAP. Hope my phone isnt bricked
Thanks, XDA
The viper Rom is for the sprint version of the HTC One only, go to the international version and flash a Rom from there, I'm personally using TrickDroid with Faux Kernel

its best if you dont know how to use fastboot commands to download the all in one toolkit for your device
I have the all in one toolkit. What do I do with it ? I just want to go back to stock Rom. I know I f'ed up. Give me steps please, or is anyone willing to skype voice call I think I would benefit from that that most

you didnt mess anything up. when you open the toolkit at the bottom there should be a link to stock rom or you can flash any rom you want from there. there will also be instructions to do whatever you need to do down there
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------
to use the all in one toolkit you will have to be in the bootloader in fastboot usb mode. if it say hboot at the top of the bootloader screen press power button once it should then say fastboot usb where hboot was
Just to confirm is this the toolkit we are talking about ? http://gyazo.com/24b0cb52eed94ca74237779c5f8f6eb9 . I regret doing this omg Why did I try to do this.
yup. where it says something about stock ruu zip thats the stock rom but it may be more difficult to flash that. easiest way would be to flash a custom rom or a stock rooted rom zip file
you shouldnt regret doing it. thats the beauty of android options customizations. its not hard just read before you flash
Ok, now I need to find that ROM, Im on Rogers network meaning I would gave to use the international one right ? and I cant find that. I clicked on flash stock and now its going to this black screen which says HTC in silver.
just stay away from sprint roms you can flash any other htc rom. international htc one thread has the most options though and sense based roms will give options for you carrier you just select tmo at&t or international in aroma. if you decide to go that way make sure to read the rom thread as aroma often freezes but there are things you can do to minimize them.

i know this is brought up alot on the forums and theres plenty of answers but im that much of a noob too flashing ect.. that i have no idea what any of these answers are talking about and i need someone to help me through how to do it...
I put gingerblur on my rooted atrix yesterday using this video
youtube.com/watch?v=MvC0C2h95BY&list=FLqfb2F1A2s4Z08JTFsWNuGg& index=4&feature=plpp_video (which involves CMW or something)
meaning i had no idea what i was doing just following step by steps on the video, and ever since my homescreen button and search button dont work and i no longer have a lock screen so i want to go back to stock because i dont like the bugginess!
my phone before i put it on gingerblur was 2.2.2 froyo on tmobile uk (unlocked device with no tmobile branding on the rear cover)
i would really apreciate it if someone could guide me how to turn it back to the software it came with or an official less buggy software please?
i checked my ota upgrade with gingerblur on the device and it says i can go to ATT gingerbread but then im sure this wouldnt work in the uk with the radio update but someone said i can do the ota then just flash the radio to a uk one but i had no idea what that means
im not sure at all what im doing with this and i wish i didnt follow the tutorial in the first place can someone help me please!
i just want to get back to stock or an official software that will work on tmobile uk and not brick my phone.
any helpe is appreciated thank you!
P.S i have CWM recovery does this have anything to do with restoring your phone how it was because it seems to have recovery options?
Did you unlock the bootloader? If you did, and have CWM, just install a ROM of your preference
If you want a hint on what ROM to choose,
Most of the ROMS available are based on 2.3, so consider going with CM7 if you like AOSP or Aura if you want blur
im not sure what a bootloader is all i can say i did was root my phone, then use that tutorial thats all iv done.. ohh ok so rather than being able to go back too a stable stock build i have to stay with roms full of bugs? :/
I'm gonna assume that you have tried a factory reset (most basic thing i could imagine)
I don't think that there are any SBFs for people with the T-mobile version, so i think the only thing you can do is either search for a removal tool or unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery and then install a ROM.
You should read this. Or you can follow this video guide.
Actually, ROMs can often be very stable and offer way more functionality.
You could always grab a "stock" ROM and install that, should be as close to stable as you can get.
ohh ok well i already have CWM recovery install in my phone so i guess installing a stable rom would be the best option for me? until i can go back to stock by sbf
What version of CWM do you have? How did you install it?

You need to unlock your bootloader before you install a ROM, all hell will prbably break loose elseways..

if i use a unlocker that meant to be used on gingerbread on my gingerblur will it still work?
no offence
no offence to people who have tried to help but iv still got nowhere.
i wish i just left my phone how it was now. im stuck with no home button or search button, no calender widget, no lock screen, no fingerprint scanner...
my phone bootloaded must have been unlocked for me to even put gingerblur on it?
all i have done is used a tutorial to root it and then another that i put in the description to put gingerblur on and now will people please please please just watch the video and understand my sistuation
and tell me step by step what i have to do with links...
so far i understand i should unlock the bootloader but does gingerblur count as me having gingerbread or am i still on 2.2.2?!
thank you

Gingrrblur is not a real rom therefore you are not unlocked and do not have a full cwm that you can flash other roms with. Just use an sbf from the firmware thread to get you back to stock gb then if you want to find a radio corresponding to your area on the same thread. Both are flashed through rsd lite
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
yes, Gingerblur is a pseudo-ROM (p-ROM) and from what I know, it doesn't touch alot of important parts of the phone, for example the bootloader.
I'm guessing your bootloader is exactly the same as a regular 2.2. I guess flashing the IHOP_Bell.sbf and then doing fastboot unlock should do the trick
ok we're getting somewhere
I kinda understand now so could you send me some links in the order I need to so each thing please? One thing I don't want to do is install software from at&t and then have the wrong radio lol from what IV found there's no T-mobile software but is some orange ones and seeing as tmobile and orange are the same company in the uk, so basically I could get official gingerbread software then a T-mobile radio software and put them both on my atrix now I just need to know how to do it

if i plugged in my phone and downloaded the update for tmobile uk from motorolas sight to overwrite gingerblur would that work or just brick my phone? thanks
Hello guys, I'm a noob in xda. I bricked my htc incredible s.. i was hoping to give it for a try to save my phone up by finding solutions here by asking you guys.
So here's my problem:
My htc incredible S was rooted on stock rom for half a year, and when i received OTA update, i was restricted from performing OTA because i had a custom recovery installed on my phone. And so, yeah. I was reckless.
I didn't read properly and know that i cant install any ota updates from htc, but i found a way in order to let my phone to be able to perform OTA updates again, and thats by intalling a ruu. But, due to my phone was a HTC_asia_wwe ver ( which the ruu is very hard to be found) , i searched and browsed almost every forum, but there's none with download links available, so i downloaded a stock rom with PG32IMG.zip and flash it when it gets on bootloader (htc devices will always scan for PG32IMG.zip when we get into bootloader right?) I had all things succeed. When i was trying to reboot into my os, it keeps repeat the boot vibration with the HTC logo on it. ( keeps come out the HTC logo, then turn black awhile, then come out again..keep repeating non stop and i can only turn off my phone by taking off the battery)
I can boot into bootloader but i cant access everything. even when i access recovery , it goes the same too, keep out the logo, reboot, out logo, reboot. And also when i plug in to my PC, it keeps shows up android 1.0 device too and my adb cant find the device serial. I really hope there's some way to fix my phone....I hope I'm posting in the correct section...I'm really needed for help..thanks guys.
It sounds like ur having a bootloop problem which I honestly don't understand y u would have that problem. All I can really tell u is that if I remember correctly is that if u can boot up into ur bootloader then that means ur device is not bricked.
Edit: If u have the stock ruu for ur phone then u can make ur own ruu zip to flash through the bootloader but u will need some software that creates it for u. I remember seeing it somewhere here on the forums. I just don't remember off the top of my head if u need to be s-off to flash through ur bootloader or not.
:-? Hopefully that helps u out a bit.

Since you're s-off, can you not flash a recovery through your bootloader? From there you should be able to either flash a rom or restore your backup if you made one.
I'm hoping that you've learned your lesson and will read more in the future. I can't stress enough the importance of doing your own research and knowing what you're doing before you do so. Since I'm sure you know that now, I'll shut up.

Before I answer any of your questions, I'll let you know that HTC pulled the JB update after it gave users some very horrible bugs. However, they may soon release a fixed JB update which should be available to you. In other words, you won't get the update right now. However you can prepare for it.
1) Firstly, if you do not have a nandroid backup, you're going to have to find someone with a nandroid backup for the same CID as you. You can find your CID by installing CID Getter from the Play Store. Then you need to find someone on here with the same CID as you.
2) At the time of writing this the only ROM working with JB Hboot is the SkyDragon ROM. Note that the ROM you speak of is not JB but ICS, so I don't see why you'd want to upgrade to JB only to reinstall the ROM again.
Hope I've helped

@ORA 1 well there is no official statement from HTC about pulling the update, but people who should be receiving the update have reported that they are unable to update. Various people have also reported discussing with HTC support about the bugs and apparently they are aware. If you look on other threads in different sections on the forums there are people confirming that HTC have pulled the update.

Ok, yes my question was a bit screwball :laugh: i want to know how do you know that they were going to do an update. Because i have been onto them, and i think there is a better chance of seeing a pig fly.....Ok, i am being a bit sarcastic, but with no response from the manufacturer does give cause for concern.
IF HTC wants to keep their brand as one of the top brands of the world, they have to communicate much better.
All we want to hear is " We note your concerns about JB problems on the DX, we are attending to it, and as soon as we have developed a fix we will pass it on.
We do apologise for our error, please be patient......
So i am almost certain there will be (a) a fix update or (b) a new update which includes the fix.

Sorry missed your post! If you have fastboot tools on your computer, open the folder containing fastboot and SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on an empty space in that window. Click on "Open command window here"
Next make sure your Desire X is on the stock ROM and rebooted into bootloader, and choose fastboot.
Now from that command window type in: fastboot oem lock
That should work

If you download any Boot.img installer from any ROM thread, they'll contain the fastboot program. So if you go to the thread here and go to the bottom of the first post and download the Boot.img Installer, you can extract that ZIP and there should be a folder containing fastboot, adb and other stuff. Now if you open the command window there (SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK) you can do the fastboot oem lock if your phone is in fastboot mode.
If you want to be upgrading to Jelly Bean then you need to go back to your stock ROM for your CID, if you have a nandroid backup you can flash that through your recovery. If you don't you'll have to ask someone politely for their nandroid backup if they have the same CID.
If you manage to restore the correct nandroid backup, make sure you flash the stock ICS boot.img and recovery.img before you lock the bootloader.

i dnt hv any backups...... my CID is HTC_038 , i hv searched forums bt did not find my CID , so should i request for my mentioned CID..??
one more foolish quest-- someone has posted files for mentioned CID for htc ONE x .. can i use that ..??
Using One X files won't work. I can't find any nandroids for your CID either, you're in the same position as I am. There is one user who has the same CID as you but is in the same position, their name is abhi0409, contact them and maybe you can work together to find a nandroid backup. Or you can just wait for Cyanogenmod 10.1 to be released or wait for a custom ROM for JB which ICS users can flash.
EDIT: another guy called hell_lock on this thread has the same CID as you and has a nandroid backup, but is reluctant to post it because it contains private data
Ok, yesterday i received a call from someone at HTC or one of their agents and asked me was my problem about the update sorted.
I said i didnt want to load the 4.1.3 update but wanted to wait for the 4.1.5 which has the sound bugs fixed.
She said yes, they were aware of the problem, but the new update to my country will be available in a few days.
Now a question to the developers, why cant we just upload these updates from the play store, or HTC itself.
Maybe things arent as simple as that.
We can. HTC can put the ruus on web where all can access them. But they don't, and It's a mystery.
They should really start being more generous otherwise there fan base will decrease drastically.

Htc generally ignore their customer base in these matters.
It's why many of us won't go back to them again.
I contacted them twice recently, no answer at all. No wonder the other manufacturers are doing much better. Awful pity.

Hello. Yesterday was my birthday and i got a used note 1 from my cousion. I came from the HTC evo 3D and i know how to fully root s-off, roms..etc. And i would really like to learn how to do the same to this phone as well. As of right now it has the 4.0.4 firmware on it ICS. I have never owned a samsung phone before and im really new to all of this for the note. I will thank any help i get! I cant wait to start flashing ROMS and kernels to this phone!! . Also once i flash the recovery how do i boot into it? And will i be able to flash roms directly from the phone? I know there is a program called odin that is used to flash recoverys and kernels i think. Last question would be.. Where can i find usb drivers for windows 8.1 for the note 1. Thanks again!

Ugh!! I flashed the twrp recovery fine. I went to try and flash a rom it didnt work and now i cant boot my phone wtf........Can i please have more help...
What rom did you flash? Some kit Kat roms require you using cwm recovery. Try flashing a different rom.

Well I just flashed a jellybean 4.1.2 ROM and it is working perfect. But I still want kitkat. I don't remember the name of the one I tried to flash. My main question is when I flash jb, ICS, or kitkat. Do they all just work after flash or do I need some kinda different boot thing like my HTC needed? Last thing is I could not find a flashable cwm recovery through Odin. Do I have to flash it with an app through the phone? PS: If it is as easy to flash things to this phone as easy as I think that would be awesome. So far I am LOVING THIS THING. Samsung might be my new favorite brand.. I had to do so many things to my HTC evo 3D just for custom kernels to be on it. Thanks for any help I get.

Update: Flashed cwm non touch recovery through the app. And I also flashed the candy shop kitkat 4.4.2 ROM, upon boot the WiFi would not work so I am back on the jb 4.1.2 ROM and I am now downloading hellybean jb 4.3 now. I wiped the data before I installed the kitkat ROM and there is no option in recovery to wipe the system so I guess every ROM I install it will overwrite which is kinda weird. I will try to flash the touch version of cwm later.. The one on the forum you gave me says access denied on my phone when I try to download the latest one. But It did work on my pc so I'll get it from there..

Glad your researching!
I also recommend reading the rom descriptions, and instructions. Some builders will clue you in as to which recovery to use, and what gapps need flashed.
I also recommend skimming thru the posts to see what issues other users may have had. They might of given you a clue as to why the Wi-Fi didn't work.

Can you possibly tell me what I can do to make my games run faster on this phone? I ran quadrant and got 3100 as the score. That seems a bit low in my opinion. Or maybe you can tell me what rom is faster. Idk.

In my attempts to root this device my boot was damaged. I can get into stock recovery and download mod but of course I can not find any roms including the stock for this device. Can someone PLEASE send me there boot.img. If you have the full stock rom for this model SM-G360T1, that would be awesome too. THX!

Ok so I should have more faith in myself. So by the end of my nightmare I messed up my boot AND my recovery and could only get into download mode. On a hunch I got ahold of the stock rom for the SM-G360T which is the T-Mobile version of this phone and being as they run on the same network(Same company now) the boot.img and recovery.img WORK ON THIS MODEL. Im back in my phone and everything is running perfect. So for those out there that know WAY more about making roots and roms you might be able to use this stock rom to finally root this monster. Or at least if you soft brick your device you can use these files to get back into your phone until we are able to get the stock rom for this phone. The link to the stock rom for the SM-G360T is below. Hope we get a root for this phone soon. THX!
Im a noob poster on Xda so I cant link it but just go to sammobile.com and search for SM-G360T and make sure you sign up and activate ur account its free you just have to do that or the download link is broke. Have fun.
Did you have to do any unlocking?
im currently downloading the tmobile sm-g360t image( i also have the metro sm-ge360t1) which i had soft bricked by flashing a root for the h* model. I just wanted to know after odin the tmobile imagine were you just able to pop in you're metro im and go? thanx

Ya bro I did the extact same thing with the H root. Just put the boot.img in a tar and flash it like u did the H and it will fix it. You might get a security message after but u can just go to Kies and update back to stock if you dont mind losing all your data. Cheers.
The whole rom isn't tested

I extracted just the boot.img and made my own tar to flash just the kernel, which was the problem. Flashing the whole rom isn't what you need to do in this case. Just make a mental note that you can you use the boot.img and recovery.img to get back into android.
Hello this is androidadmirer
i recently bought a samsung galaxy core prime from metro pcs
out of the box lolipop 5.1.1
i have an idea how to break this phone loose
but i need some input from you all to see if i'm wrong or if this is possible
so my plan is to use odin to flash the samsung core sm-360hu version firmware and they have a working twrp recovery
then make a rom with the t mobile firmware and insert su in bin and xbin (the t mobile firmware works perfect because it's the same network and same android 5.1.1 o.s
this sounds really good in theory but i don't know if i am totally right
can someone chime in on this please
any help will be very appriciated
Let me know

Let me know if that custom recovery works if not u can use the sm-g360t (t-mobile) to get back though if I remember right the phone has to be rooted for twrp to work right not sure....also you should be able to get the stock rom from smart switch if you force the update that way you have the rom that was made for it as a base...I will try and get the rom and post it I was just checking and there is an update. Let me know

im gonna try and flash the galaxy grand prime rom and then use odin to flash a recovery on it because its only 4.4.4 so my thought was to flash the "downgraded 4.4.4" then flash the twrp and then make a rom from the t mobile odin firmware
where is the link? thanks

SM-G360T1 "boot.img" And "recovery.img" Files
I just uploaded the "boot.img" and "recovery.img" from the latest stock update for the SM-G360T1 on this thread here if anyone needs it in the future.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62457159&postcount=42
EDIT: Updated this post today with ODIN flashable boot and recovery files. Be sure to read the whole post before flashing. Thanks!
I tried the F, H, & "lte" versions firmware, still no positive results, I keep having to flash back to the stock boot.img and recovery.img that bogarty has just linked above.... we need to find a way to unlock this bootloader on this devicez firmware... TWRP seems so close to working.
Huh?
TEFjLONjDON said:
Ok so Unlocking the Phone for use on other carriers is not the same as unlocking the bootloader. thank fully our bootloader is not locked... But it is always a good idea to completely free your device.. SO
As long as you own your device out-right and it was purchased >90 days ago, then Metro cant say no.
This post is just for those that don't already know, (make sure you do this first before you flash a recovery or try a root method)
The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime comes locked from Metropcs by default. But after you buy it and its yours..
just call them @ (+1-888-8METRO8) or (1-888-863-8768)
1. Ask for tech support
2. Ask for the unlock code,
3. Tell them you leaving the carrier.. or the country.. and they will give you the unlock codes (plural 2 codes one for the Device and the other for the Sim card if you say your leaving the country).
4. Put in the code and your good to go..
PS... Its your device.. Bought and payed for...... They really can't say NO..........

so i did the root on my phone.... Can i still unlock my phone?
send from hdx 7 using tapatalk
I didnt found a way to unlock my sm-g360t1, i made the root and tryed several boxes that told me "device unlocked" but wasnt true. Have to pay 24 bucks online to whitelist imei and unlock it trought the device unlock app. I flashed the stock rom from sammobile before but maybe works with the rooted phone too. Problem solved for me
so i got the frp message. odin flashed stock recovery and boot now it gets stuck on the metro pcs screen..... FML can anyone help me fix this problem ?
I had to flash the stock from sammobile SM-G360T1 is what you have to search for then start over but make sure the oem unlock is switched to in that causes the frp (factory reset protection)
