Ok, you know, today I got my phone, I had been waiting forever, I got it and within 2 hours I screwed it up. I have followed and followed many forums and posts on how to fix this, and I am just.. lost. So please i need your help, I am seriously stressing out, and I know I shouldnt, but this is my first android phone. I am shot right now.
I had unlocked the bootloader, and then I tried to root it, then it rebooted and went into bootloop mode or whatever it is.
I still cannot figure out how to use this Hasoons2000's OX+ AIO kit. So I am just leaving it alone.
Ok the PC doesn't recognize it as a storage device, but the fastboot does recognize it, as I have executed a few commands, like reboot or something, just to test that it works.
My phone is ATT but I am in Russia so there is no sending this anywheres. All I want to do is reboot the OS and have it work again, I dont care what mod or stock rom it is, I just really need some direction here.
I know something about RUU, ATT RUU, Fastboot, some other stuff, I have like 5 pages on XDA pulled up and I cant figure this out.
What is the CMW or TWRP or whatever it is called? How do I flash a zip or an img to the phone? I really just want my phone on again.
Yes Ive done stupid noob stuff, but you learn. So please I am kindly asking for any assistance,
No need to stress. Its fairly hard to brick your phone, good way to learn quick also is to screw with it.
Just need the right guide and I think this will help you since u have fastboot access hopefully. Its a pain rebuiling so read everything so u only have to do it once.
Remember these guides are for different phones so don't use the ruu or recovery links, user my links below.
Your phone is:
AT&T(Evitare)

This is for another phone so you need to choose an ATT ruu from here for step 1:
Your phone is a HTC One X+ for AT&T(Evitare)*

More info here for custom recoveries etc which is cwm and twrp for deploying roms, backing up your current installed Rom and general tools for fixing or enhancing your phone, displayed prior to your phone booting into android:

thank you very much I really appreciate your help. I finally figured out the ruu.exe thing, I didnt know they had to be the same numbers, ex 1.15.xxx.xx or whatever.
You see what happened originally was that I unlocked the bootloader, easy pie, but I tried to root it and that is when it started looping. Maybe I didnt understand something, but I seemed to have messed up right there.
Is there really any reason to root? I mean yeah there is super user, but doesnt bootloader help with that a bit? I know BL is for flashing custom roms and all.
May I ask how to flash a custom rom? I really want all of this ATT stuff off of my phone, I really dislike it.
Yes I know I can search, here, google etc. And maybe I should, but I end up getting so many different results, and here and there, and this and that. It really is just easier to talk to one single person who knows what they are doing. So if you could help me, I would again extend my appreciation.
Also I have the android revolution for ox+, and I dont know if it is.. you know.. THE BEST or not. Dont know what to do.
And yes, you live and learn, took me forever with iphones, then I realized hacking and roms and stuff were completely different from iphone. So new game new story.
Where to start? Well we can start by saying that I am a fool. I won from my uncle his Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100), but wanted to upgrade to version 4.2. It is a phone bought in Latin America branded by Claro. He had UHKI4 Kernel and system android 2.3.4 (if I remember correctly). So I rooted the device using the method of Odin3 v1.85 with CF-Root-Kernel-v4.1-SGS2_UH_MUL_KG7 CWM4. The root was ok!
I went into recovery mode and tried to follow the steps of this video /watch?v=ezuW5qFS8-w. I used the I9100VJMS4_I9100ZTAMS4_ZTA rom. But something went wrong and my phone is stuck in recovery mode CWC. Cant boot, I dont know how to flash anyhing...I need help, I wonder if it is possible to recover the phone yet and if possible put the kernel back and remove the root ... summarizing back to the original.
I appreciate if any help was as detailed as possible. And thank since now everyone who read the topic. Sorry for english errors
Well I am hopeless :crying:
Well I managed to restore a backup :fingers-crossed:, I'm actually pretty dumb . I downloaded a firmware instead of a ROM (you can laugh now) . :laugh:
But I still doubt. Let's think in two hypothetical situations below:
1 - I would like to upgrade from version 2.3.4 to 4.0 or 4.2. And put a custom ROM or Stock
2 - I would go back to the original kernel and unroot.
How to proceed in each case?
Glad you got it working again. Now that you have it working and not in such a panic, you should do some reading. Someone telling you how to do things like that will never work out, you'll always be relying on others to do whatever modifications you are currently attempting. By reading and learning about it, you'll be able to do it all for yourself. So how to proceed in each case? Research & learn about each one. Both are legitimate things to do, and there are plentiful threads/guides on each.

Prolly been asked numerous times but cant seem to find anything on it. I spent about 5 hours today just rooting my phone because instructions are never clear and i had to do trial and error before i finally got it, so i am by no means an expert!
I have a verizon lg g2 and am wanting to put the malladus 1.2.2 rom on it but have absolutely no clue how!
Directions say flash rom, but i have no clue what that even means. I have done this back in the day 3 times to my original galaxy s and got it but the directions were clear.
do i have to get e recovery program? i read something about that and also a clockworkmod or something?
So if someone could or would have the patience to explain to me step by step what needs done, i would GREATLY appreciate it. Like i said, all i have done is rooted it and i downloaded the malladus 1.2.2, the lg apps, and the gapps that it said i needed but dont know where to go from there.

Update, found out i guess i need to have a recovery so im working on twrp and have everything done right, the img file renamed properly, and have command window up and copy and pasting right from the xda website yet when i get to the second step where it says, adb push openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img /data/local/tmp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img, it just says no such file! I have made sure the name matches the img file in my folder and everything yet still nothing!! PLEASE HELP!! im going on 9 hours now messing with this and have got o where
well thanks to all your help or lack there of, i now have a bricked phone because no one wants to tell me anything or help. Thanks
Not everyone here has a Verizon LG G2, You should have come to the IRC and directed your questions there first and been more patient if you're unfamiliar with these sort of things. Your bricked phone is no ones fault but your own, sorry.

You're welcome. You asked for help, chose not to wait so you went ahead and did it - and failed. Yes, that's our fault. You shouldn't do things you have NO clue about. The first thing you should do is to READ. If you can't find the things you need, then SEARCH. There are over 5 million registred users here, so your questions have most likely been asked several times before, i.e they are here and you can search for them.

Dude, this is not a user support forum and no one is sitting around waiting for someone like yourself to ask questions that can only be answered by doing research that you should be doing yourself. You and only you are responsible if you bricked your device.
If you want help, your chances are higher if you post in your device specific forum, provide enough detail for people to know exactly what you did so they can provide accurate advice, and then be patient and wait for as long as it takes. Or you could do your own research and figure it out.
Funny, i didnt brick my phone, just was curious as to how many people would decide to talk if it meant they could get rude with me lol
And i posted where i thought i was supposed to, i couldnt find my phones forum. Sorry, and i DID read, i have been reading non stop, the advice just isnt working.
I tried flashify after reading that it worked (on here) and it said it did but after reboot i just get a dead droid and have to hold down vulume key and power to get it back on and recovery or download startup dont work now!
I am not impatient and i understsand im not the center of everything, just figured someone could chime in with some advice, but i guess its only worth typing if you have something unhelpful to say!
:cyclops:hi guys, first of all thank you because you have saved me many times in the past just by reading through the forums. but this time
nothing seems to help me, i have a htc one m8 from sprint, and i tried to root it and install a custom room. And i did rooted now my device
shows tempered and bootloader is unlocked. I used twrp for the custom recovery later i tried to install android revolution one 4.0
and did not work but not only that i erase the partition of the phone so i soft bricked and my phone end up stuck on the boot loader not even
twrp will work :crying:and i try to repair the partition by using some comands that i found, but my phone was not getting recognized by adb just fastboot.
After a day i try a different custom recovery philz. and that one worked so i was able to enter to recovery, and i don't know why but when im inside the recovery my phone gets recognize by adb. I try to repair the partition, but since i have to grant access on the phone is not able to finish. so i tried to install
different rooms such as viper, badseed and it goes through the set up, but when it finish it just gets stuck on the boot loader again. I been trying
to install the stock room but i haven't been able to find it, i found a link in many different forums but the links are broken i been dealing with this
issue for over 5 days and don't know what to do. i will really apreciate if someone cuold help me please forgive me if you don't understand me but
english is not my native lenguage, so i don't speak it very well. also i'm a noob on rooting so i may not know a lot by the way my phone is s-on. help will be
really appreciate.
If you are S-On, when flashing a rom, it will not be able to automatically flash the kernel (boot.img) unless it specifically states in the OP it does by the developers. Most of the time, you'll just need to extract the boot.img and place it in the folder you have fastboot, then when connected in bootloader / fastboot mode run this : fastboot flash boot boot.img
after you flash the rom. Just boot into it right after, flash, and the just type : fastboot reboot
Should be good to go. FYI : adb isn't intended to work in bootloader and fastboot doesn't work in recovery. Nothing wrong there.

Well, I definitely see a couple issues with that list...
The Viper 6.0.0 should be this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334294 Which is for the International M7.
The Bad Boyz rom you posted should be the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635051 - This is for the M7 version.
The BadSeed rom should be the one posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694471 - Also for the M7 (hence the M8 *PORT* in the title thread.
Now, HTC was stupid for giving the new phone the same name, I'll give you that, and XDA doesn't have it set to really filter well between the 2 forums, BUT stuff like the date posted could have been a give-a-way as well. But honest mistakes for sure. So, how to fix from here since your partitions are probably thoroughly hosed...? Hmm. Since I don't think there is an official Sprint RUU, that will be tricky. You will most likely need to get a hold of a very experienced HTC dev like the one's whose roms you were trying to use. The Viper, Bad Boyz, and BadSeed dev teams are all very good at most everything HTC. Another option is the developer : Captain_Throwback. He is very knowledgeable about HTCs from top to bottom and seems to be pretty helpful. Your casual helper will most likely not be able to provide as detailed help as you would need in this situation.

1 of 2 ways : post on a thread they have up, or click on their name on the left pane of the forum thread and it should give you options to Private Message the member. Keep in mind, many developers are busy people and some of them just ignore their PMs because they get so many for simple questions. Yours is certainly not gonna be the easiest fix.

thank you for everything and i will keep trying also i have another htc one but the first generations i will mod it as well as soon as im done with this one jejeje
and believe me that i been reading for day trying to find a solution to my problem but hopefully soon with some help can be able to do it and if you want i can post and update in here of how finally i was able to fix it... thanks
First off, this should be posted in the Sprint M8 Q&A forum.
Next, I assume you have a stock nandroid, as that's the first thing everyone should do after getting a custom recovery installed on the device. So start by restoring that. If for some reason you don't have that, I believe there's one floating around in the "Stock ROM or any" thread in Sprint M8 General or Q&A.
Once you can boot up the device, you should be good to proceed to S-OFF and flash only ROMs specified for the Sprint M8 variant.
My pleasure. It's how I like to give back to the community. I have a ridiculous amount of experience with everything root, recovery, rom, mods, themes, apps, etc related after modding 100s of phones and tablets, but these type of issues require the next tier of experience when you're getting into semi uncharted territory due to how new the device is and that HTC hasn't released the official update utility for it. But yea, you should post back, just in case another member runs into the same problem and you can help point them in the right direction.

I'm not sure I understand. What does deleting all data have to do with your backup? Are you saying your backup got deleted? In that case, do what I said and find the one I referred to and restore that.

He flashed 3 or 4 different roms that were for the M7 or not for his version of the M8. Pretty sure that the partitions are borked at this stage as properly flashing the correct M8 rom and fastboot flashing the boot.img has not gotten him out of trouble.

If restoring the above doesn't work, you can try this:
- Relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock)
- Download signed firmware zip from here. Flash via fastboot (fastboot oem rebootRUU, fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, fastboot reboot-bootloader)
- Unlock bootloader via HTCDev.
- Download TWRP Recovery from here and fastboot flash (fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.2-m8_whl.img)
- Download Stock Rooted ROM from here and flash via TWRP.

What?
I have a Galaxy Light, and I'm fairly knowledgeable about the device. But I don't understand gibberish. You need to tell us exactly what you did, and try to speak in English without typos.
Ok
Lol sorry, I rooted my phone, well I put twrp on my phone the flashed it with I guess a flash for tmobile and on jellybean instead of kitkat. I tried to flash the radio but dont think it did anything. And now I reboot my phone and its asking for the sim pin

Which TWRP did you flash? Did you flash T-Mobile firmware? I need to know EXACTLY what you did.
Ok
I used twrp 2.7.0.0-gardaltetmo.tar. The flashed a supers u update -v 1.94.zip, then I wanted to know how to unroot incase I needed to know and used SGH-t399-stock-MJA.ZIP

Don't use T-Mobiles firmware on your MetroPCS phone.
This is what you need to do.
And for the love of all that is good in this world, next time DO A BACKUP before flashing things. You installed TWRP, which gives you the ability to make a complete backup of your system exactly as it is at that point in time. If you had done a back-up before you screwed up your phone, it would have taken you but a few minutes to unscrew it.
I apologize for being harsh, but it seems to me like you really need to read and research a lot more. I always (well, usually...almost bricked my tablet the other day) read everything I can find about something potentially risky before doing it. Let this be a learning experience for you. Read as much as you can, understand what it is you are actually doing rather than just following some guide, and if you don't understand, just ask. I and most of us here would rather you asked a noobish question instead of going blindly ahead and screwing your phone up. Playing around with root and recovery and flashing without understanding it is like thinking you can perform open heart surgery with a meat cleaver because you've seen every episode of ER, Scrubs, and Grey's Anatomy.
thanks

Hm. I didn't think about that. I think you might need to get an SD card. Go on Amazon or eBay and pick one up. An 8GB one can be had for literally a few bucks, but a 64GB class 10 one for $35 is an awesome thing too.
Ok
Ok, and with the back up download how do I get the in twrp. Should I put it in a zip file or leave it how it is
ok im a retard

ok so i cannot figure out how to do this.
i have the sgh-t399n galaxy light- with no os installed, i have twrp on my phone. and i have a backup a sd card. but when i go to restore in twrp the backup isnt there, and ive tried going threw the file options to move it to where is it suposed to go but no such luck. i thought maybe a terminal command would work but i have no clue what command to use. if you could help one more time that would be awesome
You can always use Samsung Kies 3 to flash your phone back to stock. You need your serial number though, and for some reason it is not printed on the back of the device(at least for me). A call to tech support should get that sorted anyway.
Alternatively, you can do this with Odin to a very similar effect. Search Google for something like "T399NUVUANK3 tar" to get the file you need, my personal backup is corrupt so I can't share.

Ugh... I own a t399n and I'm doing some real development on it. . I've made a stock odex and deodexed rooted zip files for the t399n and haven't posted them yet. . If you're in a bad way still hit me up and I'll have you up and running in no time. Fun things coming for metro users. Who says you have to pay for a high end device to have a high end device? He he he....
Do you have a backup I bicked my samsung galaxy light metropcs then I unbricked it by restoring a backup for the samsung galaxy light that I found online. Search fresh backup for samsung galaxy light sgh t399n.

Which TWRP did you flash? Did you flash T-Mobile firmware? I need to know EXACTLY what you did.

Are you seriously giving me crap about a post from over a year ago? Nice contribution to the discussion.:good: I have no idea if the OP ever fixed his phone, but at least I tried to help.

And the age of the post, with respect to your attitude, is relevant how?

I just love getting an email alert at 4am because someone quoted me to post absolutely nothing of substance.
It's relevant because IT WAS A YEAR AGO! I don't remember why I was so cranky that day. I did apologize to him for it. Did you notice that I also still did my best to help him? Do you have a solution to his problem? Does he even still have this phone, given that it was a year ago? If you want to fixate on my posts, fixate on the hundreds of times I've been thanked for helping others, especially going above and beyond helping people find the perfect device for them. I'm not here to be grumpy, I'm here to help people, and get help when needed. Why are you here? To pester me? Look, I respect my elders, and you're clearly older, but at the same time don't presume to talk down to me. Try reflecting on yourself and your motive in making a useless post, bumping a thread dead for several months (a severe breach of netiquette), purely to insult another member.
Come to think of it, my email alert wasn't because I was quoted (I have that feature turned off). I got the alert because I'm still subscribed to this thread, having done so in case there were new posts that might enable me to help the OP. I suppose I should unsubscribe, giving the fact that nobody has posted anything of use or substance in 7 months or so.
