the reason you cant find your back up is because all aosp 4.2.2 roms create the "sdcard0" file path for your data, instead of 4.1.x having just the "sdcard" directory. TWRP wont let you navigate back to the original directory, and flashing a stock rom or backup wont fix it. you either have to manually delete the folder on the computer or on a file manager on the phone (but a computer is recomended).
now what type of factory reset did you do? the regular option in TWRP wipes /data, /cache, and /dalvik. is that the one?

i went into twrp and hit "format data" and it told me to type yes and then it formatted everything ...so afterwards it says superuser is not installed then swipe to install it...after i go to reboot system and it says No operating system installed

yea man that format data button wipes EVERYTHING. that button should not be pressed when regularly flashing different roms. it says that because there is no operating system on your phone anymore. and there probably isnt a backup either, as im not sure what partitions that wipes in detail. can you reboot into recovery by holding down the volume down and power button until the lights flash about 10 times? see if you still have a recovery

yeah i can get back into recovery..i just dont know how to get phone to boot up...yeah i dont know why i decided to format the data..haha friggen idiot i am

should i just download stock rom and plug my phone into the computer and transfer the file over? if so do i just put it in data/media folder?

do you know how to use ADB and fastboot commands? or does your storage come up when you plug it into a computer? it probably doesnt. you will have to sideload a stock rom

like cmd commands?...i know how to do them

no like adb command. like "adb shell push (zip file)" "adb devices" those kinds of things. if not, download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219175

after i download this then what?

you also need to make sure you have all the correct HTC drivers for the phone. if you could previously plug your phone in and navigate the internal storage, you should be fine.
1) download a plain, stock sense 4+ ROM and get it ready
2) boot the phone into recovery
3) plug the phone into the computer
4) launch the toolkit. you should see your device in the list at the top of the toolikit. if not hit option 20.Refresh toolkit. if it still doesnt show up, you might have bigger problems
5) select option 14 and follow the prompts
6) reboot the recovery
7) check and see if you can find the rom in TWRP and install
let me know. i'll be off XDA for an hour, in about 45 minutes. but if this doesnt work, pm your gmail address and get on hangouts

i dont think its locating my phone..i went to install drivers and it says access denied.

do i have to have the htc drivers installed for it to see my phone first?

Yes. Also adb and fastboot drivers, but I think they come loaded with that tool kit

is it suppose to recognize my phone under fastboot or adb? and when i install a rom do i need to put zip at the end like dlx_signed_2.06.zip?

is there something i have to do to get it to recognize my device...its not recognizing it

it says adb server is out of date..killing...daemon started successfully..list of devices attached and does not have mine

can someone please help me with this issue? thanksss

Custom recovery, stuck on a step.

Okay, im trying to flash custom recovery on my Optimus one [Stock 2.2] Rooted with Z4root [permanent].
First step is to donload 3 files
Kernel and the 2 files from this thread.
http://androidforums.com/getitnowma...ry-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
I've unzipped flash_image.zip and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img.zip at the root of my SDcard [empty one, 2GB] And put there the kernel.zip [as it was!]
I opened a terminal on my Optimus one and writed down the commands from the topic i've found above.
Now im stuck at
Code:
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
after typing this command i get a message over and over again that says "cannot read from location" or ""no such file or directory"" or something like that.
Anyone can guide me step by step ? I dont get it how the whole procedure must be done :/
That step is not required,it has something to do with "sticking" the recovery so it won't revert to the original.You can safely continue on to the next step
So i just ignore it, right?
Is there a risk on bricking my phone on flashing as far as i know.
Except my mistake, on what else does it depend that?
I did all theese steps and my phone restarted on Stock Rom settings with everything wiped out :S
[i have a backup of apps with titanium backup and vcf contacts etc etc..]
... but... WTF! :S
any help?
Please tell us in more detail what steps you have done.
Also, if you only want to install custom recovery, what do you need a "kernel.zip" for?
Which kernel is it, where did you get it from?

Ι did exactly the steps from this topic
http://androidforums.com/getitnowma...ry-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
i ignoring as i said on my first post the message "no such file or directory"
after typing a command as NikolaMK told me to just ignore that.
After typing EXACTLY theese commands, phone restarted as i expected but with fresh stock rom!
[the kernel is the one with the cpu on touch fix.]
It restarted, but were you able to enter the custom recovery? When the phone is off, press vol down + home + power until you see the LG Splash screen.
Copy the flashimage.zip and extracted flashimage both to sd and do the steps again.
Also do the same with thunder zip.

It restarted but i didnt keep them off as far as i remember or didnt hold them for so long as it needed.
So in conclusion, if i dont keep them pressed, i lose chance on going onto custom recovery? Or not?
by the way, for safety i had zips extracted [except the one having the kernel i wanted to flash afterwards.]
Need as simple instructions as you can guys, im very conservative this time because i just have 1 week my phone right after repaired from last bricking.
I find it strange that your phone had the settings wiped after flashing the custom recovery.
I flashed it myself last Saturday, and all went well. Here's what I did:
Root phone using z4root
Install Terminal Emulator
Copy flash_image and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to SD
Perform the steps in the androidforums thread.
Now, I also expected the phone to boot into the recovery when issuing the command "reboot recovery", but it didn't. It booted normally, but there was no wipe, all my settings were still there. On we go:
Turn off phone
Press Vol-Down, Home and Power at the same time and don't let go until the recovery has booted. If you've done that and only thing happening was the settings wipe, something has gone wrong while flashing the custom recovery, and you're still on stock recovery.
Maybe you should MD5 check the recovery.zip you downloaded and try flashing it again.
Try placing flashimage.zip, extracted folder of flashimage.zip, and also contents from extracted folder, all on to the sd along with thunderg zip and start typing the commands on terminal emulator.
Also make sure u have rooted the phone first.
This should do the trick.
There is a video on YouTube showing the steps.I've never seen the whole video before,but I think it will be of much help Try it!
1) Phone is z4root-rooted.
2) i have all needed combination of files on my SD Card meaning: Folder contents of zip, root of card zips, unzipped on root, etc etc... so the commands can "See" the files no matter what.
3) it rebooted without custom recovery installed.
If i press the button combo without having installed custom recovery, what do i get?
I'd like to see the video AsherChua mentioned above.
I had a similar problem as you, I had to use the custom recovery from here
NOTE: THIS IS WHAT I USED, IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR YOUR PHONE

???????
I believe you're supposed to go to the recovery for default android.. I went to it once possibly by accident and never figured out how to 'enter' while I was in it. up/down is still the volume key but I didn't know how to use confirmation.
Let's suppose im doing the same steps again as on my 1st post
BUT ....
after phone freezes and right as soon as it gets black screen, i push the button combo, it will work, right?
Was my fault for not pushing theese keys after the reboot message of terminal?
Is it obligated to do this?
I think what you get when you press the 3-button combo without having custom recovery installed, is a memory wipe/factory reset/whatever you wanna call it.
My guess, that's what happened to you.
If you have sucessfully installed custom recovery you can enter it WHENEVER YOU WANT! Just turn the phone off, when it's off press the 3 buttons and keep them pressed. Works for me. If it doesnt for you, my only explanation would be that for some reason you didnt succeed in flashing the custom recovery and are still on stock one.
When you entered the line "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img", did it take a while before the cursor reappeard so you could enter the next line?
i dont remember if it took a while for the cursor or it was instant.
If i press the key combo vol_down + home + power while turned off without custom recovery, nothing happens, right?
I dont want to risk for 3rd time of a wipe :/
It's boring to install again tbackup and restoring everything from scratch! :/
If you press it without Custom Recovery it will wipe again !

[Q] INstallation of

I know that I must have missed a step in these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29417266&postcount=1397
I am using an rooted EVO lte, with S-On (why I followed this thread with specific instructions with work around instructions)
I downloaded the zip file and was able to open up FlashImage and flash the zip file (the software found the correct file after indexing the .zip file). I rebooted the phone and held down volume down to get to the bootloader screen.
The only options I have are:
Fastboot
Recovery
Factory Reset
Clear Storage
Simlock
Image crc
Show Barcode.
I have tried Fastboot, recovery, and factory rest but all just restart the phone. When I try to restart the phone, it cycles through the HTC loading screens and then reboots again.
Is there anyway to save my phone?
Thanks in advance; your threads have been really helpful in the past.

Relock and run an RUU from the fastboot menu
If you use flash image you don't need to hold anything it has the option to boot recovery, it is only for the kernel, from there you boot to recovery and flash the rom and that should be it
The phone wont boot, so flash image GUI is useless. Exactly why I suggest people dont use it
The op never stated whether they actually flashed the ROM, for some reason they booted to the boot loader manually?
The way I read it the phone will only boot to the bootloader

The thread linked is cm9 op states after flash image they rebooted the phone and held volume down, and get to the boot loader screen but stops there no where is it mentioned cm9 ROM was flashed which leads me to believe they never jumped into recovery to flash rom

I believe you are right. I tried to follow this step but could not verify it was done correctly.
The ROM is flashed seperately from the kernel, as soon as flash img is done it gives the option to reboot directly into the recovery, this is because the ROM is flashed next. Since you are going from sense to aosp you need to clear dalvik, cache, factory reset, then system wipe and then install and select your rom. Anytime you install a different ROM sense or aosp, you need to wipe the phone. Take a look at my guide, I go over the various issues that could happen and do my beat to explain why. I also list a ton of info in android in general

so i just rooted my phone but everytime i try to load bootloader to install a custom rom it does not load the bottom 3 icons just blink 10 times what ever that means... do i need to reroot?
That's the simulated battery pull, hold the power button until the phone shuts off and then hold power and volume down and the phone will go to bootloader. Check settings to make sure fastboot is off. If you still can't get to bootloader, use adb. Type adb reboot bootloader or adb reboot recovery

Do you have a recovery installed? If not, I believe you can put one on the root of your SD card then install in from boot loader. TWIRP works great. Then you could flash a ROM.

if you need to load a rom to sd, go to twrp. select mount and then mount storage, by default the internal storage is selected. Mount to pc, if its corrupt, you will be prompted to reformat. from there load a rom and flash again. go back to bootloader afterward and fastboot flash kernel

[HELP] Phone soft bricked? boot loop

Hey
I've been trying for about 5 hours now with my mac (main computer) and a small netbook (windows) to fix my phone to no avail
Problem started when I tried to flash a rom and towards the rom finishing installation the phone froze and it all went downhill from there.
First the phone would do an endless boot loop and occasionaly it would go to a picture of a red triangle and red exclamation. Now it stays on CWM recovery and if I reboot, it goes to CWM again. Sometimes I get my mac to recognize the phone in CWM, otherwise it takes forever to get there. Any help would be phenomenal.
What phone, ROM, version of cwm.

you need to enter recovery and reflash the rom.
If you are in CWM Recovery, you can wipe cache from there. Look for the wipe option and afterwards go back to the install option and try to install the rom again. Hopefully you checked the MD5 checksum for the rom you downloaded.

reflash the rom the way you did it the first time.
if you're doing AHRD don't press the touch screen use the volume and power buttons to move through the menus
Why would you need to? I am assuming that you downloaded a rom, checked MD5, and then copied it over to your phone's internal SD Card. When you select install from within recovery, you need to scroll and select the file you want to flash. After selection, Aroma Installer will start and you simply follow the prompts.

Stay calm first. Its not too big. İnstall adb drivers on windows and plug your phone. Enter recovery. Mounts and storage. Usb connect. Then youll be connected to the pc. Copy new roms. And just try. İf its wont work, then try flashing kernel for your android version and phone. One of custom roms must be installed succesful.

[HOWTO][MT2-L03][Stock ROM with root]Fix soft-bricked phone using TWRP

EDIT on Jan 18,2015
Please see post #9 for a flashable zip of the stock ROM with root that is taken after updated to B148.
Below original post has version B126.
******** ORIGINAL *********
Fix soft-bricked Mate 2 (MT2-L03) phone using TWRP
If you messed up the phone and it came to a state that phone can not boot into android, if you have TWRP installed and have a backup, then you know how to fix that easily.
But if you don't have your own backup, I have upload my system partition so hopefully you can use this to restore your phone. The backup is taken very close to stock, and it is rooted with SuperSU installed.
BTW, there is a "safe mode" boot method, so try that before using twrp recovery:

Steps to Restore you phone if all other ways failed:1. Your MT2-L03 need have bootloader unlocked, and TWRP recovery installed properly. Even your phone is soft bricked, as long as you can boot into bootloader mode, you can still unlock bootloader and install twrp recovery.Unlock bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/progress-rooting-ham2-t2867975
Install twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc.../2014-09-22-teamwin-recovery-project-t2885144​2. Boot into twrp recovery and select "System" partition only, and backup it to your external storage (yes, I know your system partition is bad, this step is to create proper twrp backup directory)
3. Download following file to your PC, unzip it.http://tinyurl.com/qzxkm4x
FileName: TWRP_BACKUPS_stock-system-with-root.zip​4. Turn off phone and take out your SD card out and plug into PC, then navigate to following directory under the SDCARD: \TWRP\BACKUPS\xxxxx, the xxxxx is a string that different in each phone
5. Copy all the files unzipped from step 3 to above location. overwrite any files with same name.
6. Put back the SDcard to the phone, and boot into TWRP recovery.
7. Choose restore, select the only entry that you did the backup, and select "System" only, perform the restore.
8. Wipe your dalvik cache, cache.
9. Then reboot.
10. If you still have problem, boot into recovery again, and wipe /data parition as well (Factory Reset).​Download the MT2-L03 backup here:

And thanks @dbmj unlock bootloader, @Modding.MyMind build twrp recovery, and @D33PTHAWTE confirmation that this fixed his phone.
Glad you got this posted. This will be very vital to many people down the road. And great work on giving instructions to create a backup for the simplicity of automating the needed directories for usage of the actual shared backup. Thumbs up bro.
@D33PTHAWTE, welcome back
For everyone not getting TWRP to work I have done it on 3 HAM2s and all work try this.
1.flash this stock recovery https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-nJFDpWA4MdVjhEYzU3TXlMZ0U&usp=sharing
2.even if you have your own use that because I know that works and I dont know what yours is.
3.boot into the recovery and make sure that its the stock recovery and its working.
4. restart the phone 2 or 3 times to be safe
5. flash using twrp using 15 second ADB installer.
Has anyone followed thoes steps and that recovery above? (not your own) if not try that and let me know. take a screen shot of what ADB is showing you so I can see that TWRP was successfully installed. Starting at square one. Flash twrp and show me its flashed.

Hey I tried this on my phone, I think everything worked okay. Android ui crashes constantly when my sim card is inserted. When I try to do the OTA update it says theres an error with facebook in the cust folder. I tried to copy that from the zip but it failed to copy. Im out of ideas of what to do next.

What button combination are you using? And did you have unlocked bootloader?

Hi, I have seen these issues pretty frequent recently that:
1) /cust partition is not covered in this TWRP backup, so after restore, you may still got facebook app mismatch failure when upgrade.
2) Even after a successful OTA upgrade, many people (include myself) met problem to reflash the TWRP image.
So, give me a few days, I think I can make a flashable zip that has latest (B148) stock ROM with root, probably this weekend.

Thank you so much!
Please try install this zip from recovery:

This is a clean Stock ROM (flashable zip) with Root after upgrade to B148 for MT2L03.
It should only be used for plain carrier unlocked Huawei MT2-L03. Other varies (carrier locked) MT2L03 is un-tested and may brick your phone.
This ROM include /cust, /firmware, /system and /boot partition.
The official B148 update also contains update to SBL1/ABoot/TZ/RPM partition, they are not included due to risk concern.
I didn't fully test this ROM, I just pickup the image from my early backups. I installed it to my already updated phone and boot up fine. So please try it and let me know if you see any problems.
Working great for me! thank you, fixed all my problems.

Is your phone mt2l03 and bought as unlocked?
Another thing you can try is do a factory reset (to be safe backup /data first) and wipe cache, dalvik cache.
