I was flashing MeanBean to the newest version 3.09 from 3.07 i was currently on. I cleaned delvik and cache hell I even did the system and it sits in boot. So after many reflashed of 3.09 i finally decided to flash a different rom all together. That rom stays in boot. I'm S-on btw. I dont know what to do. I'm disabled and live alone so I need my phone. Thank you guys very much in advanced.
Sounds like your TWRP may need to be upgraded to the latest. You will have to go to the teamwin website and update using fastboot since you can't boot into the rom. If you have a nandroid backup you should try to restore that first.

You just need to be able to get to the bootloader. So long as you have your PC/Linux set up with adb you can run the adb fastboot command and install the recovery then adb reboot.

Ok I'm in fastboot and theres a usb unrecognize flag. I go to program manage and My HTC under Android phones has a "hazard". With the following after I open it...
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.
Im on Windows 8 btw. Im headed over to the HTC site to see if maybe there are updated drivers.
Any Ideas? Thank you guys for responding so expiditiously.

Here's a zip of 2.4.1.0 I found from the TWRP thread in the Original Android Dev board. Can't find a zip of the latest. This one should serve you well though.
Rename to PJ75IMG.zip and place in the root folder of your SDCARD, then boot to bootloader.

First, make sure you renamed it properly.
Then, make sure you're putting it in your external SD card, not your internal. If you don't have an external, then just place it in /sdcard
You would be right!!!

When i bring up the bootloader it update twrp and when i select recovery, it reboots to a black screen. How do i pull out the file so it doesnt reinstall twrp every time. It wont open twrp so i can remove the zip. Could that zip file be bad?
Do i need to select clear storage in bootloader?
Does it take time for twrp to load? I dont remember my phone doing this on the last twrp install.
Just remove the SDCARD from the back and you won't have it try to install it every time.
It doesn't take long for TWRP to load really. After the installation, boot into the Recovery through the bootloader.
If he is s-on I didn't think he could flash a recovery through the bootloader.
Update your drivers and try to install the recovery through fastboot.
You didn't need to make a new thread in the wrong section for help as people were already helping you.

Im still getting stuck in boot. I'll try another rom I use.
I've just received my OTA KitKat 4.4 update on my HTC One, but it won't successfully install. i tap "install now" on my phone, the phone reboots and goes into TWRP recovery. i found the zip file, flashed it with TWRP, and it seems to have unpacked it because i now have a file with the same name as the KitKat 4.4 update zip file that contains a "META-INF" file and a "patch" file, but when i reboot system, i'm still running Android 4.3 with Sense 5.0 according to Settings>About>Software information. what is going on? am i doing something wrong? do i need to relock my bootloader? uninstall TWRP? if i do need to uninstall TWRP, then how? i don't even see it listed under Settings>Apps. i was really looking forward to running KitKat and i've been trying to update to it all night, so much so that my wife is now mad at me for spending so much time "playing" with my phone! if anyone can help me, i would greatly appreciate it. i'm a newb when it comes to TWRP, but i've had an HTC Tilt, Tilt 2, and a Vivid, all unlocked, rooted, and with custom roms. i was even trying to learn to cook my own roms for my Vivid, so i know (basically) what i'm doing, but i am familiar with using the "install from internal SD card" option in recovery, which i don't even have anymore. now when i enter my bootloader, scroll to "recovery" and select it, my phone boots up into TWRP recovery, which i'm not liking thus far. seems like more of a pain than the simple "install from internal SD" process that i'm familiar with. i'd much prefer to use the process i'm familiar with than TWRP if that is possible. if anyone can help me with any of these issues, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do so. reply to this post, pm me, or email me. doesn't make any difference to me. i'll take any help or advice i can get at this point!

How do I pull it? I take it your talking about extracting it from the zip file, right? If not, then how do I "pull" it? If so, what do I do after that? Just flash it with twrp? Also, does the "volume up + power" procedure get you to the "install from internal sd card" option? Sorry for all the questions, but it seems that a lot has changed since I got my Vivid & used to flash a new ROM every few days. I finally flashed HoliRaider Final Version by bananacakes & liked it so much that I used it for the next 2 1/2 years. It looks like a lot of stuff has changed since then. By the way, I actually have the zip file for the update. I copied it to my PC before I finally decided to select "do not install" & started looking for help. Thanks!

yeah you just remove recovery.img from the Guru reset and flash it
are you sure your phone is unchanged from stock otherwise ?
to flash the stock recovery it's done from fastboot and command window
extract the stock recovery to your fastboot folder then the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after this is when you can boot to stock recovery (the one with the red triangle)
and then you can flash the ota.zip you downloaded
just keep referring to my other post for the correct steps to take

I had flashed a Viper Rom, but I didn't like it. Flashed Android Revolution, but still wasn't satisfied, so I went back to a stock rom. But I did flash it from twrp, so it may not actually be stock. come to think of it, I haven't seen the red triangle since I've been running this Rom, so it most likely isn't stock (i assume). Right?
As far as the "up volume + power" goes, do I do that INSTEAD of "down volume + power" or do it on the red triangle screen? Sorry, I just want to have all my ducks in a row this time.

fastboot reboot-bootloader will get you to the bootloader the same as power+volume down
after the stock recovery is installed from the bootloader you choose recovery you'll see the red triangle screen (after a few seconds) this is where you do the power+volume up to see the flash options
choose install from phone storage
click 0 then find the OTA file you downloaded and install it.
If your phone is not Stock it will FAIL, if that's the case you need to start from scratch by running the guru reset and following the instructions I already gave you. So you know I did the total reset and was on kitkat in about 20 min it's not that hard just follow the mini tutorial and don't skip any steps

Sorry for the delayed response. Spent the last couple of days trying to figure out what I was doing wrong in learning to sideload a ROM. Anyway, yeah, I received the OTA update for4.4 KitKat. Finally succeeded in flashing a stock 4.3 Jelly Bean ROM, received the OTA 4.4 update, and am now running KitKat! Thanks to everyone for all of your help! I was starting to think I bricked my phone.
I have been running hariybean 2.31 for quite some time but saw some kitkat based roms are now available so I thought I would try on out. As a precursor, I had to upgrade my TWRP to the 2.6.3 version that supports KK. I did the upgrade using the terminal emulator method and it seems to have installed correctly but now, when I start recovery, it asks for a password to contiue. If you cancel out of it, then you do not have access to the partitions and I assume they are encrypted.
I cannot find a password listed anywhere, nor did i set one on my machine. I am rooted currently and unlocked. I also tried to downgrade TWRP back to the 2.5.0.0 version but i cant seem to do that either, it seems to instal, but when I go back into recovery, it is still the 2.6.3.0 version.
Can anybody help me? want to either get the password, disable the password (without loosing my data) or downgrade back to a version that will not request a password.
Detailed steps to accomplish any of the above would be greatly appriceiated!

Does he have his nvflash backups? I didn't notice him post that.
He needs to try the following and try to get back on the correct TWRP for that bootloader before downgrading.

If neither of them work for him then he can still be fixed but I'm gonna need to wipe the machine.

I'm going to be honest with you, the reason I was interested is I made the bonehead mistake of not downgrading to 4.1 before attempting to flash the KK twrp. Looks like the link you sent fixed the recovery just fine without needing NVFlash (At least in my case) if only I knew how to actually develop roms better. I want a 4.4.2 Linaro AOSP ROM with ART optimization (Or Vanir) for the Prime on the 4.2 bootloader... that would be pretty awesome.

Thanks for the replies so far. I now have made things even worse by using wipe in TWRP and now the OS is gone I have tried using the fastboot -I 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob as suggested and it says it is writing it, but when it is done, it restarts into the same TWRP 2.6.3.0 version everytime. I have no data on the tablet that isn't already backed up (but I don't have NVflash) so I don't care how deep It needs to be formatted to get it back online again.
Any further suggestions or steps to take? I have ADB and Fastboot access but that seems to be all......
sheesh... all I wanted to do was try out KK

I finally got it back.
Did this list of commands:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
and that allowed me to overwrite the TWRP 2.6.3.0 and thus unencrypt the storage finally and then I just reinstalled the Harirybean zip again.
Thanks so much for all the help!

I do know a bit around linux, I have been using Ubuntu for about 3 years but not super familiar with things. I know basic commands in terminal and I know how to Google really well haha. Any chance you could PM me a list of starter guides because I really am interested in doing new development for the Prime. I am not getting a tablet anytime soon... due to money concerns and the fact that I just like the transformer series.

I would advise not starting with a rom but starting with an app to get yourself used to using toolchains etc.
Take a look at compiling your own version of Gotham XBMC to get you started, the instructions on that are pretty good and straight forward.

Awesome I will get cracking on that over the weekend. I will see how that treats me and if it goes well I will let you know and see if I could be your padawan learner and hopefully build a vanilla Linaro AOSP Rom for the 4.2 bootloader some day.
The blob file helped a lot and I'm back with a working TWRP! Great work - thanks again!
But I'm kind of scared and confused right now, regarding KitKat ROMs. Do I really need NVFlash?
I guess the right road 2 kitkat would be:
1. downgrade my bootloader
2. install flatline & nvflash
3. install cw recovery?
4. install kitkat roms?
There is also KitKat TWRP - is this the right way?
Like I said - I'm super confused. ^^

Hello XDA members,
I was hoping somebody would help me out, I'm fairly new when it comes to installing custom roms so I require your patience. I don't know how to install a custom rom onto my Bell Atrix HD MB886, everytime I try it says abortion failed, what can I do to fix this. I have wiped data and all that probably 5 times in the past week alone. I would like to know how to successfully install roms without errors. Both the times that I have done this I had my bootloader unlocked, and I had clockword recovery mod latest version 6.0.4.4. I bought an SD card today to help install the roms because otherwise I can't do it from my internal storage. I really hope somebody can help me out.
Regards,
Roger

Hi there. A failed abortion certainly seems like an issue... I guess I am not totally clear on the status here. You say that you had CWM. Do you still have it? Bootloader is still unlocked? What rom are you trying to install? Are you certain it's for the Bell version and not like the AT&T one? What is the exact error message?

No I don't have it atm as I just wiped the data/cache last night but will I already have CWM, I just need to unlock the bootloader and try again...I'm trying to install this one:
Android 4.4.2 KitKat Mokee Rom, and it says the version is a nightly. Yes I'm positive it's the Bell Version as I purchased it at a Bell Store and my carrier is Bell. The error message is "Installation Aborted." It begins installing, and then halfway through I get that error message. How do I fix this?
I figured you knew what phone you had. I was wondering if you had a rom built for the Bell version vs an ATT one. But since you are using a CM based rom, it obviously doesn't matter. Curious as to why you are bothering with relocking the bootloader? But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

But I suggest to either try a different version of the rom, or to change your recovery to one of the Philz Touch versions as that's what some of the other users in that thread for the rom for your phone were using. You can find them here:

No I was bothering to unlock it again, not lock it. Where can I find different versions for the 4.4.2 Mokee Rom? I've tried using the Philz Touch version: Motorola Atrix HD One Click Philz recovery installer and when I tried it a couple of times it said it failed to install although I'm not sure why. I came across these images the other day but how do I use the .img files on my device, as I'm not sure to proceed from here once I have them downloaded.

I was curious as why you relocked it in the first place.
Where are you getting Mokee from that doesn't have a link to their Downloads?

thanks will try this out and let you know later how it works! I download the custom rom from true android blogspot.ca (can't post links just yet, annoying).

Right on. Well, you should bookmark the thread here on XDA because that's typically where the action happens.

Okay so I'm trying it now and the program won't even open :/
Odd. I just downloaded it to test and I didn't have any issues. If you can't get the actual application / exe file to open, then just use the Main-Skip.bat. Does the same thing.
If it doesn't open still, make sure that you have your anti-virus off as sometimes those interfere with programs like this. Might also try as admin.

Okay I wasn't looking at the actual .exe sorry, I got it to work and all I installed the Philz One Touch Recovery from that program, just downloaded a different rom and all and then I select the apply update from external storage and when it gets to the verifying update package, it gave me the same error message as yesterday, Installation Aborted.
So again, how do I fix this, am I doing something wrong? Why won't my custom rom install?

I don't think that is the most updated version. What's the version number of the recovery that was installed? It should be listed on the main page of it when you boot there. I was suggesting to use one of the new ones. It might have something to do with the SELinux support that KK roms need. You just have to put the img file in the tools folder and rename the new one the same. But here's no other error that shows up other than Installation Aborted? I was thinking usually it would have an error code or some other message.Have you checked the md5 of the rom zip to make sure it's not corrupted (if the dev provided it)?

Use one of the new versions of that program or to use the latest CWM which I have been. Okay I really don't know how to do that and where to move it to, how do I do such a thing? No it just says Installation Aborted... How would I do that? And yes I downloaded the new rom directly from his site.

Look in the tools folder of the zip you downloaded. Download the newest Philz Touch img from the other link from earlier. Rename it to replace the one in the tools folder. Redo the recovery install. But you didn't say what version you already have.

Okay that did the trick, properly got philz recovery installed, did the install again, this time it worked, clicked reboot and now it's stuck at the Dual Core bootlogo screen

Did you do a full wipe, including wiping /system?
If you didn't, it should be under Mounts and Storage > Format /system of something of that sort.

Pop the battery out for a bit, then pop it back in and hold Volume Down while powering up. Should get you into fastboot where you can skip to the recovery.

The battery doesn't come out of my phone as you can't take the back off. I got into fast boot easily them selected recovery and nothing happened, I think my phone is screwed

Oh yea, forgot you have to undo the screws on the bottom. So you scroll down to hit recovery and use the Power button to select and it doesn't do anything? That's odd.. Try and reflash the recovery since you can still get to fastboot. If that doesn't work, you're not totally screwed since you can still get to fastboot, that means you should be able to restore it to stock and start over.
Alternatively, if you have fastboot set up, you could make sure that philz touch is in the fastboot folder and use this command:
fastboot boot recovery nameofphilztouchfile.img
If you don't have fastboot, then just grab this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 , drop the recovery img in that folder and open the CMD prompt on your computer and change directories to it and run the command.
Hi all,
I recently got a new Axon 7 (A2017U) and wanted to root it just like my old G3. I tried following DrakenFX's instructions (Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204), but I got lost. I ended up with a password being requested at the android startup screen. In a panic, I clicked Format Data when I got back into TWRP, that made it worse and I went into EDL to see if that might help. Eventually I got back into TWRP and that's where I am now, desperately trying to get my new phone working again. All the threads I read only add another layer of confusion. Would someone be willing to walk me through the steps of fixing my phone? I really don't want to RMA/have $400 to go down the drain. I'd own you a big one.

Hi,
so you have access to the TWRP. Thats good. Do you have access to a stock ROM from your manufacturer? In case yes, you could simply flash the stock.
For this, the rom has to be on a SD card or on the internal memory of the phone.
In TWRP go to "Install", than navigate to the file and swipe to install (it comes a zip file).

I'm looking for one. Some threads pointed to an OTA update that ZTE has on their site. However, when I try to install things on TWRP, I get an error about "dev/block/sde14" being read-only. (It sometimes says "sde13" too.)

Dis you go on Advanced

Yes and I'm not sure. I can boot to system, recovery, and bootloader.

I am far from being a pro. I once had the problem that I was caught in bootloop and could not install a new rom. But I was able to re-flash TWRP (via Minimal adb and fastboot) and than everything was fine.
Maybe someone else can comment on that. On your own risk...
Just a tip. Never panic and press any button
