I've followed two guides to setup CWM Recovery and trying to root my phone but both do not work when I try to boot into recovery mode it just shows an exclamation point and the little android guy and when I try rooting when I get to the adb shell step it says device not found even though i have all the drivers that I need installed what am I doing wrong here it shouldn't be this hard to root this phone or install CWM recovery. Help would be much appreciated!
nvm I figured it out
Umm what'd you do? Im having same problem!
sounds like he forgot to activate usb debugging.
settings>apps>Devel>USB debugging.
yeah its short hand but i think you can figure it out

Did you ever figure out the problem? I am having the same issue where I can not access "Android Recovery -CWM" or the RSD Protocol Support Mode. Also, when trying to use the RSD support mode the phone is never recognized by the computer. I have tried changing motorola drivers, resetting the phone, and rooting/unrooting and also a different computer. Any suggestions???
Hi!
First off let me say thanks to R_a_z_v_a_n for redirecting me and hope that I'll find my answer here ^^
So I Have this device called HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA (not with Slate just HP 7 Voicetab), wanting to have a custom recovery then I tried to flash a CWM Custom Recovery for HP Slate 7 VoiceTab because I thought it was the same and ends up bricking my phone. It ends up in a bootloop which only shows HP sign for a few seconds and dead. But I managed to find out that I can access the recovery menu (or so I thought it is), but the options was choosing between Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and VART Mode.
I tried to enter Fastboot Mode before and tried to access it via PC but somehow I can't find the device by entering adb devices and fastboot devices. Anyways, I have downloaded a stock update.zip for it but not the original KitKat one which I get from the first time I bought it but rather the JB ones. I think by flashing this would help me recover the device but the only problem is I don't know which method should I use to Flash it. Since I don't have the Stock Recovery or ANY kind of recovery at all, I guess I'm stuck. And it won't start to the home page so I can't set the USB debugging options. Please guide me through this >.<
Thanks a lot!
Been fighting with it for 2 days now and still no result came.
So here's the update so far....
I tried on my other device in order to understand how my PC reads ADB and now I kinda gets it. But the problem is now can't get the device to enable USB Debugging because I can't access options at all.
Secondly, since I left it on for the night because charging seems to trigger the bootloop too, now I can't access the fastboot mode like I was last night. And it constantly repeating this sequence: [battery scene with the "charging battery" symbol] > [HP Powered by Android screen] repeated for 2-3 times > [low battery need charging screen] > repeat. And once I tried to connect to the PC, it goes to the same sequence too. When I tried to access the boot options (the screen which displays Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and UART Mode which I mention in Thread Starting post), it shows the low battery need charging scene and then repeating the same sequence as mentioned above.
I seem to figure out how to fix this but I still can't manage to access the fastboot mode yet. Will give update once I can try to.
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks a lot!
Update!
Somehow with a little tweaking and stripping the device, I managed to solve the charging problems. Will update on this once my problem finished.
Jump out from the frying pan and into the fire so they say, I ran into another problem. Finally managed to get into fastboot mode, the devices manager reads it as an Android Device>ROMaster ADB device like the other device I tried to connect while in ADB mode and fastboot mode, but somehow CMD cannot read the device as an ADB device or a Fastboot device like the other device did. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and still nothing happens. I tried to find the usb_driver on the internet and it directs me to the update.zip instead. Trying to update the driver via Computer Management but it says the driver is up to date. Now thinking about making an emulator device based on the HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA but I really have no idea how to make one. Any one have any idea of what should I do next or can guide me through this? At least until the CMD can read the fastboot.
Thanks a lot!
I found my self in a deadlock!
PLEASE HELP :crying:
Could you unbrick yours
What service centre says about that problem i also ran in this problrm but i m trying to go to service centre for that
first off install drivers in your PC as admin
then use the official flashtool to flash ur stock firmware by entering fastboot or flashmode simple as that
@Sunderesh, thanks for the suggestion, however, couldnt get any official flashtool for hp voicetab. Can you suggest one please?

So, i have root my phone, i directly deleted most of asus's bloatwares. Few days after that, the google search app started to force stop, with that i just tried to restart my phone. Amazingly, it cant start, i was stuck at a dead android logo, and it said error. I went to recovery, and unaccidentally pressed the clear cache. After it reboots, still no changes, i went to recovey, i cant(i know how to enter recovery), I CANT ENTER RECOVERY ANYMORE.
So i tried to clear cache via adb. Device undetected. Usb debugging should be on, cause i root this phone via adb too. Driver have been installed properly, but no devices were detected.
Summary
1.rooted
2.error>reboot
3.clear cache
4.enter recovery again>failed
5.try using adb, device failed to be detected.
In this state. I cant progress. HELP
Hi!
I'm so stupid. I wanted to install cm12.1. So I rooted phone, unlocked BL. Then, I had first problem - when executing adb oem-unlock BL has unlocked and phone go to fastboot. But my comp couldn't recognize it (heard plugging in and out sound repeatedly). And here comes my "stupidity". I installed flashify and flashed CWM by it, got to CWM, installed cm12.1 zip. Of course wiped all data. Because I didn't flashed boot.img cm12.1 was freezing on fist setting up screen (nothing was working, just power button - pushing 10s turned off phone).
I wanted to flash boot.img by fastboot. But I still had problems with drivers(omap4boot didn't work). So I tried to recovery system by LG Mobile Support Tool. Everything got fine, but then phone stuck on the LG logo.
S/W Uprgade mode works of course, but I can't get to recovery now.
I'm using Windows 8.1
Any ideas?
Edit.
Ok, so I tried to install omap again. I did it, but the phone is still repeatedly conecting and disconnecting and in device manager I cought omap4430 driver whith waring mark for a while. Any ideas now?
Is it the non-animated LG logo?
This should work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384
The download links for the firmware are probably not up to date. Use this to download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287573
If your phone still goes beyond the non-animated logo, there might be easier solutions.
It was after animation.
Anyway, I have finally solved this problem by installing new system using Bride's solution with full wipe.
could anyone help with a seemingly bricked tab speed 6, attempted to root using kingoroot and it failed causing connection issues to google so i was unable to add a account, after hard reset and booting in to recovery i have wiped the cache and reset to factory, however now the tablet is stuck on checking connection and doesn't go any further with or without sim card.
after searching and searching i have come up with nothing apart from this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/stock-rom-vodafone-speed-tab-6-vf-1397-t3329343
it looks as though he is having the same problem.
assuming kingoroot has corrupted the rom and i need to reflash to repair it,
i don't know if it is a generic tablet it appears to be made by alcatel but im unsure.
i also do not know if i could use a firmware from another device or even custom rom, anything will do as long as it doesn't end up in the bin
i also have another which hasnt been messed with and was wondering if it would be possible to back up the rom from it and reflash it to the bricked one, if so could anyone steer me in the right direction
could anyone help me locate as rom and flashing tool that will help
thanks in advance, apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
You said you had a second one, you don't have to root it, just follow this tutorial and hopefully you should be good to go.
no bootloader
hi thanks for your reply however upon backing up the other tablet, it had still not solved the problem does that tutorial back up the Rom or just system files I created the backup.ab and used adb recovery to no avail...., however, I gave up on this method and was going to use a custom recovery on the the working tablet to back up the rom, however when I tell adb to reboot to the downloader it just reboots the tablet there seams to be no downloader on either tablet, so even if I had the rom it appears I could not flash it via the downloader as I can't get to it, nor sd card as there is no option to flash it, it's really bugging me now as it's obviously only soft bricked, any more help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance also to add fastboot lists the device but when I tell it write the recovery it says waiting for device
inexperience
thanks for the help I am quiet inexperienced but determined so any help pointing me in the right direction would help thanks

What command do you do to tell adb to reboot to download? What command to you give fastboot to flash the recovery?
hi thanks for the quick reply im ujsing adb reboot-bootloader , it reboots the tablet and then greats me with the vodafone start up logo then asks me which country im in, as for attempting to flash with fastboot ive tried fastboot oem unlock to unlock the bootloader ( says waiting for device) ive also tried adb push c:\adb\backup.ab ( doesnt seam to recognise the psush command as it cycles through all available commands , and attempted to flash recovery with fastboot flash recvovery cwm.zip ( says waiting for device) adb reboot sideload just reboots the tablet same as adb reboot bootloader, thanks for all your help.., ikt is really bugging me i appreciate your time.
I don't know if download mode is accessed differently I've found this post that seems to Suggest hold volume up and down then connect until battery charging appears http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f272/vf-1397-a-2047715/ this is for unlocking it seems, but don't seam to be able to get it to work, earlier I removed root with kingoroot from kingoroot app, also to no avail and rooted again both root removal and rooting were successful but still tablet stays on the checking connection screen when rebooted, I was hoping the removal may of fixed the issue but no...., I was thinking if I could get back custom recovery on it I could do the same to the working one I have begrudgingly so I could back up the working ones rom and use it to flash the bricked one, but I don't really want to risk bricking that one either, but was considering finding another rom from another model the same chipset and flash it with that but obviously no download mode means I can't do it..
if it's any help The recovery mode states android system recovery <3e>
LMY47V release keys
reboot system now
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
power down
enable adb
they are the only options,
again thanks for all your time and effort

You can't always unlock the bootloader via that command and you'll need to have the bootloader unlocked to flash a custom recovery, if you can find stock images on the web you can flash them via fastboot.
---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------
Also to restore an adb backup you do "adb restore filename".
unfortunately there is no stock image anywhere on the Web, is there a good app I could use to save the rom from the working tablet without rooting, really don't want to risk rooting the working tablet

Did it work? I see you left a "thanks" so I assume something happened.
hi, I give up on the tablet, I've been asked to see if I can give it another go, but don't know where to start, I still have a working one but no idea how to get the rom from the working one to the bricked one. thanks for the help you gave me to begin with.

I have a couple tricks up my sleeve and that is, you know how you said when you ran adb reboot bootloader? Run adb shell instead and it should give you a command explorer, from there, type "su" and report results, you should see either a root request on the device or a hash sign in the coommand shell.
Just a quick question
Did you ever manage to get it working if so how did you go about doing it as i attempted to install a custom boot animation and it appears to be stuck in a constant boot loop as such i'm not really sure what to do with it or if it is savable. Any response would be helpful. Thanks.
