I was rooting on ICS beacuse I wanted to flash a custom JB ROM. Everything just messed up. I flashed an incorrect kdz.. Magically my phone didn't brick but now everything is inverted (mirrored). I have flashed several Stock firmwares and the issue still remains.
Is any fix for this? Please help!!

Did you unlock your bootloader yet? There's a thread with the solution to the inverted touchscreen issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40121966&postcount=7
Inverted screen will stay but you can power on the screen and then off upon boot and it will disappear until next time you reboot. If you want to restore everything to normal and don't mind losing your unlocked bootloader you can flash the stock u-boot.img via fastboot. You'll have to google this forum for the file and instructions.

thanks, but how did you manage to do ''adb shell.... typing from terminal? I need root to do this steps.
Root with lelus method then you can fix screen. Can't do anything about it without root.

I had CWM working on my P769BK using the method in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825. I was on 10E and I used CWM to install a rooted 10G recovery. Everything went great and I still have root, I can no longer boot into recovery though. I tried updating CWM, uninstalling and reinstalling, everything I can think of. At boot there are no flashing LEDs. I know I should post in the above thread, but I unfortunately don't have 10 posts here so I can't post in the dev section. I'm new to posting but I have been following stuff here for a while. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I bumped this because people are having the same issue when going to 20D below is the solution I found.
Update: I can boot into CWM recovery again. I used this to install busybox https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete . Before I had just regular "busybox" from play store. After using this tool install busybox, I once again ran Artas' recovery installer and it rebooted right into CWM. Thanks for the help suggestions everyone.

I think OTA root keeper would keep root after the update. However the ota update kept failing (I think because I was missing some apks in /system/app) so I went that route.

What does matters is sequence of proper actions. That is possible only if you are here since first day and know all the situation. More people are updating first and then coming on xda for solutions.
Seems others did it better (or just lucky) and are on rooted V10G

If you flash CWM through fastboot or Odin or similar method then no you don't need root access. In regards to flashing ROMs without having root access from CWM it's not a good idea the as the installation will likely fail because without root the system partition can't be modified which is necessary when installing a new ROM.

Actually there is nothing wrong with that. Its perfectly safe to flash a ROM in the situation of having a custom recovery without root access.

You will not hardbrick your device doing this without root access in the unlikely event something does go wrong you will end up with a soft brick that can either be recovered through a NANDROID backup or if needed using the Micromax flash tool. I should also clear up any confusion I may have caused earlier as I misunderstood your question, the vast majority of custom ROMs will include root access but if they don't or you don't currently have root access you can still flash ROMs in CWM successfully.

Root would be needed in the first place to allow you to install a custom recovery such as CWMR or TWRP that you can then use to flash ROM's and other modifications. Some devices such as Samsung devices that have Odin allow you to flash ROM's through Odin without having root provided the bootloader is unlocked. Let me know if you still have questions.
Would I be able to use odin(or a similar program) to flash cwm on a wolfgang at - as45ips (rebranded amoi n821)?

HTC Desire S
Hi I have a HTC Desire S with stock gingerbread 2.3.5 and unrooted. I want to flash MIUI v5. But in order to do this I have to install clockworkmod.
Tutorials said that I first have to unlock the bootloader on the htc website. When I tried to do that, i could not get the token key because my hboot is outdated. I have read many tutorials on the internet on updating hboot but I failed to do so as I kept getting a "Write access denied" message in the command line (Windows7). I've tried other methods like using EasyUnlockTool and read on stuff about "gold cards" but this just keep getting more confusing.
I've flashed my galaxy S i9000 so many times before but don't understand why HTC complicates things so much http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/crying.gif
Is there no simpler way to just flash this phone with MIUI? Can this be done without needing to install CWM, updating hboot or rooting?

Installing Clockworkmod Recovery, updating HBoot, and rooting are all necessary steps to install MIUI on your phone. I would recommend checking out this guide that will guide you through the process of updating HBoot, rooting, and install Clockworkmod Recovery. Additionally I would recommend checking out this index thread that has many additional guides and information about HBoot, Rooting, ROMs, etc. Overall, start with updating HBoot and then once you have done that move onto, the other steps. Let me know if you still have questions.

Lg recovery tool will try that when i get home. Ty no offense taken, i did do a search and found some threads but diff scenarios didnt know which method to go with so lg recovery will revert to original then i need some bootunlocker?
After lg recovery fixes your phone, then you can try for unlocking bootloader, but be careful it will void ur warranty. So if warranty is of no concern, go ahed and unlock bootloader.

I'm assuming you're not S-OFF or SuperCID.
Hmmmm... Okay here's what to do I need you to follow these exact steps.
Extract the CM10 rom to it's own folder
Take the boot.img and place it in the windroid kernel folder (assuming that there's a kernel folder)
Open the windroid tool and select "Flash Kernel" and select the boot.img from the rom.
Now follow the instructions (I think you have to be in fastboot mode, I'm not sure.)
I think this procedure is right, I'm not entirely sure. I haven't had this problem in almost a year, since I decided to get S-OFF and SuperCID.
OK...the boot animation for cm is still going 2 hrs+ probably the recovery isn't right though no? Flashed last cm official with 5.0.2.9. I'll do as u suggested the for your input. And no idea for s-off sorry this phone is foreign to me

It won't boot, it's stuck in a bootloop because you haven't done S-OFF or SuperCID. It's what makes the custom roms work.
Please try my suggestion. And performing S-OFF is really not that hard, it's very very easy. Although most times I know that it's done on the Asian or Unbranded version of the Amaze that's stuck on GB.
Your recovery is fine, I can assure you that. Only KitKat roms require 4ext version 6 to flash properly.
Another idea just popped into my head, go into your recovery and enter the advanced settings, scroll down and you should see something called "Smartflash"
Make sure that this is enabled.
Do a full wipe (factory reset>cache>dalvik>all partitions except SD card) and then re-install your CM10.
Ok...thanks again for taking the time to help. I know it can be frustrating if the same probably basic issue comes up but phones do vary. Learned something new

Well you see this isn't the same exact problem that everybody else has, ultimately it's the same cause but like you said, it varies.
You're on ICS, from Telsus. Most of the people who create posts are from the Unbranded Amaze crying about their device being stuck in a bootloop or that their phone unexpectedly blew up and killed all their hopes and dreams.
I don't think there's much posts about Telsus Amaze, hopefully someone will see your post and know more than I do and provide more information.

Any kitkat Rom for amaze won't flash on twrp/cwm recovery since those recoveries are outdated and haven't been updated for our device. Since your device is S-ON with ICS Rom Telsus it just needs 4ext touch recovery with smart flash on. Kernel won't flash on cwm/twrp recovery with S-ON since there's no smart flash option in them that's why your phone was stuck in cm boot screen. Good thing you figured it out.

Read my previous posts if you need to flash a kitkat Rom, you just need 4ext recovery with smart flash turned on. That's the safest procedure. Good luck!

If you want to flash any KitKat Rom we have for the Amaze, you need the latest version of 4ext recovery.
I'm really not sure how S-On devices are prepared for this so hopefully just having smartflash on will work. If it gets stuck in the bootloop again, you can try flashing the boot.img and see if it boots up properly
Thx again guys...kitkat installed woohoo and didn't need to flash boot worked from install zip
