Hello everyone,
I loaded the HTC Ubuntu Touch rom and it flashed fine. No issues. But nothing works. I want to get another rom on there, but the phone won't recognize the USB or the Network. I have a rom that I want to use, but I can't get it on the phone to flash it. Is there anything I can do?
I'm running TWRP recovery, but I have clockwork mod on the phone.
I also have the specialized version of cyanogen that runs with ubuntu, and the bulletproof kernal.
Fixed
Sorry about that. I panicked a little. I used the ADB sideload to throw a new rom on and it works now.

Hey All, hope this is the right area. I got my Prime and love it, but being an old
computer geek I wanted a better ROM. I let it update to .21 and regretted it of coarse.So I used the stock Asus unlocking tool, then Wolf's ultimate flash and downgrade(worked, took it back to .15) ViperBoy's newly updated PrimeTool 4.6 to root and installed TWRP 2.1. Everything seemed to be fine and I was ready for Android Open Kang
Project - Build 35. Yes it was awhile ago, AOKP looks great and I was drooling to get it in, but recovery didn't work. I have tried to flash different CWM's in, nothing seems to change my problem, I go into recovery and my Android guy is working for just few seconds, then keels over with the dreaded red exclamation mark sign, Dead. Yes my Asus still works with all it's bloatware and plods along but I really want to fix this and am just about desperate to try anything.
My computer has ADB access, and I have a novice's novice level of skills, can anyone,
anywhere help?

Just went through the rooting thing again. My device IS rooted, but NOTHING will get me in the recovery, now have also tried GooManager and ROM toolbox to attempt to install CWM over existing one(?) >sigh< Does anyone think using ADB to push another CWM would be for helpful then dangerous? Help?
Hey there!
I've got a little problem with my SGS2... it seems that I have two recoveries installed on my phone which seem to start up as they wish.
First I've got an (orange I think) 4.x version which seems a bit buggy and where I can't seem to choose zips on the internal sd.
Then there's the (blue I think) 5.x version which I preferably would like to use.
Normally the 4.x version starts up when rebooting from Rom Manager. Often when I use reboot in the 4.x version it jumps to the 5.x version. I can't seem to find a consistent behaviour so it's hard to describe what happens. Also I didn't intend to have a dual recovery... this just appeared out of the blue some day.
I didn't manage to flash the newest Miui 2.7.6: shortly after the system is fully running it crashes and the phone reboots. I couldn't find other people with this issue so my first guess is to resolve my recovery issues...
Any ideas?
Yes
Stop rebooting to recovery from rom manager. If you use the button combination you should get your blue recovery.
Thanks for the hint!
But are there still two recoveries located on my phone? Could this cause any problems?
get rid
I'm pretty sure I've read that rom manager has caused quite a few problems with the sII, I'd just delete the app and do without.
I'll definitely do that... I haven't heard too many good things about it actually.
However, there's really something wrong here. I tried to flash recovery touch.. the first time it said it installed fine but actually nothing happened. The second time I tried, right after the install the touch version was running. When I do a reboot though it's not there anymore. What to do?!?
Recovery is built into the kernel. If you flash a recovery independent of the kernel, it will only persist until the next reboot. If you want touch recovery, find a kernel with touch recovery (quite a few have it, search the development forums to find one you like).
So Rom Manager tempers with the kernel when flashing a new recovery?
Or is it some kind of temporary thing like when I flashed recovery within recovery?
Thanks for the replies... I'm interested to learn more about this stuff!
please do not use rom manager
it has bricked many s2
Running stock everything, Android 2.2 froyo.tljl3. A few minutes ago I attempted to install CWM through ROM Manager. Everything seemed to work fine until I rebooted into the recovery to discover that it was still stock Android. So I tried it again, same thing. Phone is confirmed rooted and for some odd reason my flash_image is missing. It's not in system/bin, nor is it hiding in system/xbin. Just gone.
Is there any comparatively easy way to replace it and get a custom recovery working so I can do away with the stock OS, or do I need to restore the phone completely yet again?
Apologies if this has been posted before, my SGSII LTE shot itself in the head so I just wanna get this thing working to some extent.
Also, I feel it noteworthy to state that this is the Telus Fascinate (T959D), which apparently has some different hardware and may be relevant.

Hi all
ok so i'm a bit nervous writing this expecting all manner of attack in that i may be posting something that's been posted before lol, i've been working on this phone from start to finish about 9 hours, over two days..... i've googled just about every combination of words to do with the title and everything in between but nothing seems to come close to what i actually need to do as nothing works
i have an LG Optimus 2x / p990, it had ICS on it but was far too slow to handle this, it needs something a bit less hardware intensive to run smoothly, so i went ahead an found cyanogenmod stable ...... 7.2 i installed sdk after an hour of finding out how it works i finally got adb and fastboot working, i then needed this, that, this, that, etc etc etc.....
to cut a 9 hour story short, i've managed to get myself to the point where i wiped the phone of everything but CWM partioned for ics via the AIO software but CWM will not let me install any ROM onto the phone. to be more precise it says i have installed CM 7.2 successfully! (i've tried this via the CWM via external SD card and sideload) i reboot the phone it's as if i've never done a thing, no trace or suggestion i've even attempted it on the internal card... nothing
i'm at the point now where i'm quite happy to just have my phone back now and install ICS 404 but can't use the LG kdz install software as the pc doesn't see the phone as an LG p990 because it's recovery and i can only get it to come up as internal and external memory cards
i'm not really a noob when it comes to tech stuff but this little phone has me stumped.... please, i'm begging you, help me any operating system that can get my phone working will do, preferably the CM 7.2 if not back to ICS 404?
and i know, i know i should have backed up but i had no idea it could be so complicated just to put an OS on a tiny computer
ETA i've tried that exitrecovery.zip thing and it did nothing :/
It's quite simple
Try to reset and unroot/re-lock the phone then unlock and root, then what you need to do is get ROM Manager and get the Clockwork Recovery and the version that supports your device, although you might need to hook up your phone to your computer for the process to work.
Also put back in ICS 4.0.4 when unrooted and re-locked again like stock and make sure it's the stock file for your phone.
And after you got ROM Manger and the Clockwork Recovery
Then just in Clockwork wipe out all data on the device and don't do a factory reset in Android just with clockwork and delete everything that was made on that phone then install CyanogenMod.
After that it will seem to take a long time or just a while to boot up and then it boots faster then the original ROM.
If you have Clockwork Recovery just wipe out all the data while it's still in there and you should be set.
When it was my first time putting in CyanogenMod it was 10.1 RC1 on my Nexus 7 and it didn't work and forever bootlooped, and that was because i forgot to wipe the device. Then after going into Recovery with Clockwork I deleted all the data of my tablet and it worked but took 5 mins. to boot up which is nomal.
And if Clockwork doesn't work, do the same with TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) and download that which can be found here teamw.in/project/twrp
If you don't want to get ROM Manager or that one isn't working then try this website to get Clockwork because it has the whole list of devices and I recommend downloading from the website instead of their app. clockworkmod.com/rommanager
cheers for that, i've tried all of the above still to no avail, having a think about it the phone is partioned for ics, i'm trying to install CM 7.2 which as i understand isn't ICS so.... maybe the error is that it's a different partioning sequence/setup i'm gonna go for CM 10.1 and see if that makes a difference.
to add i'm not sure why everyone rants and raves about CWM, TWRP seems much more complete and advanced do you (or anyone else) know the main differences?

TWRP has a completely touch driven interface that is 100% themeable, while CWM has a touch version and non-touch version. Also TWRP has a built in file manger and terminal emulator where as CWM does not. A lot of people like TWRP because it provides a lot of good features with a simple and straightforward yet powerful user interface. I would recommend taking a look at this guide if you want more information on the differences between the two http://www.droidiser.com/2013/04/twrp-vs-clockworkmod-recovery.html?m=1.

ok i managed to do it i can't remember exactly how but some good links and info for anyone who stumbles across this in need of help
i went for cyanogenmod 10.1 to make this work i used this AIO tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
repartioned with OLD partion layout and BL
installed TWRP (included in the aio)
if you need to reinstall the google play store make sure you have right version if you flash it and get "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" repeatedly you have the wrong version see this link for which one you need http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps
obviously make sure you have adb and fastboot setup and drivers too.... it's a long process installing the entire sdk, personally for flashing this once and most definately not inclined to do it again i'd go with just the adb and fastboot rather than the whole sdk
also i found a keyboard error with 10.1 where i'd type 1,2 or 3 characters and the keyboard would minmise not sure if there's a proper fix (i found one thing where you disable the autocorrect but didn't want to do that) so i decided to download and install hackers keyboad which is based on the gingerbread keyboad and is much better and comes with full features and integrates nicely
coupled with the info above from YoyoscratchMC and you should be in the field
good luck to all i was ready to jump out my window with my phone first so i could land as hard as possible on it last night but i got there in the end lol
Ok, I had carbon rom on my DNA (Verizon). It was getting buggy on me so I decided to return to ViperDNA. However TWRP continuosly failed to flash the file. No matter what I tried. Eventually I formatted my phone thinking that would help me install it. Well no luck. Now however I still cannot flash any of the roms I have tried and my phone boots straight into recovery. Any ideas on how to fix my phone?
EDIT:
Well, I cannot seem to figure out how to delete this post. However I ended up downloading CM 10.2 through my pc and put it on a usb. Then flashed it from the usb and it worked. I must have had corrupted files
