Did you get the message: Magic Value Mismatch:-.-.-.-.-.-?!
After flashing a new recovery it happens sometimes.
GREEN ZONE
Are you able to go to the recocery menu(power + vol up)? If not, go to BLUE ZONE. If yes, follow these steps
1. check whether you have copied your rom as "update.zip" to your SD card's root directory
2. Go to recovery menu and install update.zip
BLUE ZONE
You may did something wrong while flashing a new recovery. Here is the right method:
1. go back to fastboot mode(power+power+power+vol up) and type these commands on your PC
2. fastboot erase userdata
3. fastboot erase system
4. fastboot erase cache
5. fastboot erase linux
6. fastboot erase recovery
7. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (change path, if recovery.img is not in the same directory as fastboot.exe)
8. fastboot reboot
Are you able now to go to the recovery menu? If yes, go to GREEN ZONE and follow steps. If not, go to ORANGE ZONE.
ORANGE ZONE
Are able to unpack the update.zip and find the system.img and boot.img files? If not, then go to RED ZONE. If yes, copy these 2 files to the directory where the fastboot.exe is, run these commands:
1. fastboot erase recovery
2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. fastboot -w
4. fastboot erase linux
5. fastboot erase system
6. fastboot flash system system.img
7. fastboot flash linux boot.img
8. fastboot reboot
ROM is installed. Enjoy it!
RED ZONE
Make sure, that you copied the same recovery.img to fastboot folder, that you had flashed before to your tablet.
Type this command in recovery mode:
1. fastboot boot recovery.img
This command will run the recovery from your PC. After the recovery menu is booted, go to GREEN ZONE and enjoy your ROM!

Lol, nice to see my post copy/pasted without any links indicated. Anyway, I hope It's helpful for ppl.
Tried following these steps, however, I'm still getting this error... followed this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470823
installed recovery successfully (via fastboot), and update seems to install fine, until I reboot and get the "Magic Value Mismatch" again..
Any ideas?

So you installed the recovery via fastboot. Did you manage to boot into recovery mode?
I had that issue, that I couldn't boot into recovery mod from my Folio, by pressing power+Up button. Thats why I added the RED ZONE method. Its like booting recovery from your PC. (fastboot boot recovery.img). All the times I wanna upgrade my current ROM, I have to do this step, because the power+up does not work, and the Folio skips booting in recovery and wanna do normal booting. However there is no Rom installed on machine, so I get the magic value mismatch message.
So try to boot recovery from your PC, but be sure you have copied to your fastboot folder the same recovery, that you flashed onto the tablet.
I hope it was helpful. If something is not clear, feel free to ask.
Hi there, thanks for the answer.
I am able to install recovery images via fastboot.
Device is showing up as a question mark with >fastboot devices
but recovery installs fine. CWM gives a series of e: can't opne/mount /cache errors.
Foliomod 1.4 installs no problem, thanks to the method here

Are you able to wipe cache from recovery? And what else errors are listed?
One more thing, try to flash your boot.img and system.img via fastboot as written above.
If I follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458876
and let it install cwm v 3, I get the cache error and cannot wipe or mount via recovery.
If I follow the ICS thread, and flash the new cwm v5 via fastboot, I don't get the cache error, but the rom simply won't start. If I open the package, there is a boot.img, but not a system.img, just a system folder...
I could try flashing boot.img, but I don't see how that could help

Well just to see it clear. So you are able to install Foliomod 1.4, so your Internal storage is not broken.
When I get home, I will check the system folder of ICS rom. There are some method to create system.img from an unpacked folder...
So, in CWM 5.5.0.4 you manage to install Zip from SD card, ROM and GAPPS as well, but the Rom does not boot?!
yup, that's exactly it.
Haven't tried installing Gapps since I can't even get the rom to boot.
I have a perfectly working tablet with foliomod 1.4, and I did get honeycomb to run but some apps crashed so I reverted back to foliomod.
with CWM CWM 5.5.0.4 everything seems to work great, except at reboot, nothing happens (somehow, I no longer even get the magic value mismatch)
------------------
PS. not sure if this is at all relevant, but I cannot fastboot from win7, I'm fastbooting in either ubuntu or xp via VirtualBox, and the device, when calling >fastboot devices shows up as ?????????? (ubuntu) and ? (xp)... :\

Have you tried all the roms? ICS Alpha 1,2,3 and 4?

Hmmm strange. I ask it for you on developers forum. What you can still do, is to check the steps, that you did them correctly. In most of the cases users forget something, or do some steps incorrectly.
Try to erase userdata, cache, system, linux and recovery in fastboot. You mentioned you had problem with fastboot under Win7. Problem may occur, in case of not proper erasing.
Thanks, I'll give it another try tonight.
Fastboot in win7 is simply not seeing the device. It shows up in XP and Ubuntu, but as "??????" - not sure if that could be a symptom.
I'll post a reply as soon as I've tried, and let you know how it went.

For me it works perfectly on Win7. After Installing SDK and JDK the in the devicemanager it is shown as an Unknown device. Simply add the driver manually to it.
Download driver from attachment.
Copy it to SDK\USB_driver folder
That works for me. After its done, the Folio is shown as "Fastboot" in device manager. But connect the tablet in fastboot mode to your PC before you add driver manually to it.
Thanks for that.
Tried it, still not working in win7. It shows up correctly in device manager, but fastboot itself just doesn't want to see it...
I've attached a screenshot for you
EDIT: screenshot gets resized, but it shows device manager listing
NVIDIA Android Fastboot Device
and a terminal with fastboot not seeing the device

When You have win7, You have run the console as admin!
Or copy the complete Fastboot folder to another Destination like c:\temp...
Thanks stefannsv, tried it, still not showing...
But I can access fastboot on another platform, so I assume it's not an issue, I can just switch over to another OS to flash
no go, followed both this original post (tried all steps except orange, cause the rom I'm trying to install has a system folder, not a system.img)
Last method I tried was:
1) boot into fastboot
2) boot cwm-recovery-5.5.0.4.img directly from PC
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) install zip from SD card and chose the alpha 4 release
installing update...
then back to recovery, reboot and voilà... magic value mismatch again (it had disappeared for a while... )
Also, when booting into CWM 3.0.0.5, I get a series of "E: Can't mount/cache/recovery" type errors.. could this be related?
booting directly into recovery from PC doesn't alllow me to install any ROMS, not even foliomod 1.4 which works if using puppet13th's method
Hi,
About an week ago I bought the Vodafone Smart II, first thing I did was rooting it, so I can remove the apps Vodafone send with it.
After that I saw there was an update. Without thinking I did the update and after that I had no recovery anymore. Goes straight to "Are you sure you wanna delete all files and reformat?" *Not the real message, but something like that.
After searching here I foud a recovery for my device, but after flashing it, there was a new problem. The touch buttons aren't working anymore in the recovery.
Volume buttons are working well for scrolling through the menu items, but I can't select when with the touch home button.
Anyone knows what to do or try?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my grammar
I've same problem here...

I buy 2 vodafone smart II one for me and another one for my girlfrind.

My phone is a black ship? LOL
Sorry for my english i am portuguese

Use this recovery and flash it with fastboot

If it doesn't work, flash the system.img, custpack.img and data.img of an original Stock rom, and after that do the update 2 (it will fix the touch buttons)
To regain the recovery and root in Update 2 simply use "fastboot reboot recovery" in adb and inside the recovery do the "update.zip" trick to root it
Thnx

I bought this phone for my kid. I also can't boot into recovery with buttons. But i did it within "android commander" reboot to recovery option.
No need to flash the old recovery image.

fastboot problem
Hi guys,
I am noob not only here in XDA developers but also on Android tweaking, so excuse me if I mess up with terminology.
What I wanted to do is to provide superuser permissions to my device but before that I decided to do some "warm up".
After performing a "reset to defaults" I updated to ΟΤΑ 2.3.7 update 5 and I messed up the bootloader and fastboot functionality, as the OP stated.
From now on, on rebooting and trying to enter recovery (power and +vol) I get the 1st attached screenshot.
I successfully got into recovery menu through pc command line tool (adb reboot recovery), see 2nd screenshot attached. Adb tool works fine, whatever I try using fastboot tool from my pc seems to fail.
Without this I am unable to flash a different recovery on my device, right?
Am I missing something?
Thanks, in advance for any further info.
I am at your disposal for any further detail I could provide.
Does not work for me. The cmd screen just flashes, I could not even read what it shows.
Ohh.... Help please!!
I was flashing rom but I skipped a step and end does not pass the white HTC screen.
The fact is that it was installing the rom and Gapps but I miss the boot.img I have it on PC, the problem is that as the phone will not start, i can enter to bootloader but does not recognize the pc, I get the normal bootloader but how i do to pass the boot.img again if the phone does not recognize it??
And sorry for my bad english---- Help please!

If you can get into the recovery and have a valid backup then in that case restore it and restart the process. Else you can boot into fastboot and flash the desired boot.img the process will be
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

Well you do need to have the Android SDK tools download but if you select the "Platform Tools" at the SDK manager , that will only install the platform tools on your hard disk. and yes the device drivers needs to installed , to work with ADB ,
Any ways this tutorial by LUCKY_THIRTEEN just might help you

Well it seems you have installed the Android SDK all right. and make sure you put the file in the platform tools folder, and also make sure you have installed the HTC drivers for your PC to detect your phone , you can also try uninstall the driver and re install

same issue, cannot access recovery fastboot only
I hope this adds to this post if I miss speak I apologize in advance but I do not have the time or knowledge to post 10 times before strating my own thread so if this doesn't add value to this post, I have been reading and researching all week and now that I cannot use my phone I must intensely focus on this until it is fixed
Fed up with 4.3 and lower limitations and looking to get my monies worth on my phone, I look to upgrade to 4.3.1 or higher just started this week so I am a total newb, and if it means anything to anyone I would be happy to donate to contributors via papal once a solution is found I am a working professional and I am happy to pay you to save my time/phone
with that said here is what I have done
HTC One X+ (AT&T US) Quad Core Tegra 3
OTA upgraded 4.2.2 Android Firmware 2.15
Unlocked BL via HTCDev
Was using;
Recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-enrc2b.img
With intent to upgrade to 4.3.1
Used the following Rom and GAPPS to load .zips via CWM
cm-10.2.1-enrc2b (stable)
gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Did not work
Tried more recent gapps
Did not work got stuck on Circling Cyanogenmod screen
//goo.gl/YzZ75o
THEN
I realized I was not flashing boot.img taken from the CM 10.2.1 zip so I followed directions to use the boot.img then load the zip files, since doing this I can no longer use my recovery
Erase Cache (from fastboot)
COMMANDs:
./fastboot erase cache
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
Results:
White HTC “Quietly Brilliant” Screen for a few seconds then turns off
Plug in charger and Red light turns on grey empty battery symbol appears with a lightning bolt inside then disappears
red light turns off :-/
//goo.gl/JrBJph
Current state: I can fastboot, but I cannot load recovery
//goo.gl/43F6XT
Also, if I can get back into recovery
The last time I was in it, last night I believe I reformatted my internal SD, because when I was looking for my backup, and my zips they were all gone...I was very tired and should haven't pushed it.
I don't care about loss of data I just need to get my phone working again, thanks for your time and careful considerations
UPDATE+++
Used WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit 3 to flash custom recovery CWM 6.0.3.7 back in recovery again, now I think I need to side load a ROM because I deleted what I had internally

THEN
I realized I was not flashing boot.img taken from the CM 10.2.1 zip so I followed directions to use the boot.img then load the zip files, since doing this I can no longer use my recovery
Erase Cache (from fastboot)
COMMANDs:
./fastboot erase cache
./fastboot reboot-bootloader
Results:
White HTC “Quietly Brilliant” Screen for a few seconds then turns off
Plug in charger and Red light turns on grey empty battery symbol appears with a lightning bolt inside then disappears
red light turns off :-/
//goo.gl/JrBJph
Current state: I can fastboot, but I cannot load recovery
//goo.gl/43F6XT
Also, if I can get back into recovery
The last time I was in it, last night I believe I reformatted my internal SD, because when I was looking for my backup, and my zips they were all gone...I was very tired and should haven't pushed it.
I don't care about loss of data I just need to get my phone working again, thanks for your time and careful considerations

Ok, from what I can tell I think I have to go with this?
[ROM][2/18/2014][AT&T X+ S5 eXtreme V1.0.3.3]
I will be very happy if I can get this to work, and I will just "stay tuned" for when I can flash a stable 4.3 or higher for my phone
Under downloads I see the following: (would post picture but still too n00b)
S6 eXtreme RC1
S5 RC2 Patch
Native WiFi
Hotspot Patch
S5 eXtreme
V1.0.3.2
S5 eXtreme
V1.0.3.3
I am not sure what to download here, I will continue reading these directions as I believe this is my best option, please confirm if I am on the right path, thanks guys!
Update+++
Downloaded S5_eXtreme_V1.0.3.3_Signed.zip
about to flash this ROM, is GAPPS included in this?
Update+++
Downloaded S5_eXtreme_V1.0.3.3_Signed.zip Rom
Extracted the boot.img file and followed instructions
Extract boot.img from zip file and place in your sdk platform tools folder, (or wherever your adb tools are located)reboot device to bootloader and connect it to your PC.
From a command prompt type:
1. fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. fastboot erase cache
reboot to recovery and flash ROM.
but I am not sure how I flashed the ROM, I tried sideloading from recovery with WinDroid HTC One X+ Toolkit, before and after and it said no package loaded
Then I tried to load from fastboot, finally I figured "well I might as well reboot" and amazingly enough it booted...not sure what exactly but I am back on 4.2.2 so thank you!
Hi,
I am having really bad issues with my Alcatel One Touch Idol S OT-6034R and need to reflash it back to stock. On Sammy phones their is an option as everyone probably knows of emergency firmware recovery. Not so with Alcatel. i tried their "One touch upgrade" software but it says it is already the latest version, which yeah I know it is but I want to reflash it. I tried calling Alcatel and they said it must be sent off. Really? For something I could fix myself if only they just provided the stuff to do it. If anyone has any ideas where I could get the stock zip file that I can flash with stock recovery or other files I could grab to force the flash then please help with anything you may have.
Many thanks, I know never to buy Alcatel again but until I can afford another phone I am stuck with this one.
I have the same issue, I swapped the settings.apk and settingprovidor.apk from the wrong custpack and not its stuck in a boot loop.
I have the original files but can't add them back to the phone
anybody?

Can you not ADB PUSH them back to the phone with it in recovery mode? might fix your issue possibly.

Hi, everyone!
I have the same problem. Everything worked fine untill I changed some values in build.prop. Since then the phone freezes on operator logo when I try to boot.
I can boot to CWM and restore previously made backup, but no results, can't boot to system.
When I try with ADB; "fastboot -i 0x1bbb erase boot.img" it tells me that partition table is missing..... Is it possible to restore partition table informations? Any further thoughts?

Leave the erase command, just boot into cwm, format the system, custpack, reboot to bootloader and flash the files Will working too
The custpack file seems to be wrong. I've managed to flash the files but this version of custpack leads to bootloop. I found another version custpack on the french forum and with it booted successfully but... NO WIFI, NO GSM. And the "Baseband version" is Unknown.

Can you please explain us more about this last resource?
In folder BS472 there are 3 files... isn't "custpack.img" to small? And should we rename "boot-bs472.img" and "recovery_bs472.img" to "boot.img" and "recovery.img" before flashing?
And about two ROMs; first is just 70 Mb in size and the other is 233 Mb? Are they both working as standalone ROMs or something else? Should we flash it with CWM?
Maybe flashing ROM will resolve all problems?
What about other folders and files within?
Sorry for lot of questions, but this phone is a frustrating experience for me...

Sorry, but my english is bad. But yeah, i know, i spent 3 days (0-24) to fix this phone. For me the reflash custpack, boot and system img worked from my first post. From mediafire folder need just the 2 roms. the first 70mb is only the system. The orange rom i think the full rom. Yes, every two are cwm flashable. Try to flash the img-s in bootloader mode after flash the 70mb rom with cwm. If dont work make a factory reset with cwm and flash the 233mb orange rom. This phone's software like a nightmare. No source code, everything is different like in other phones and nobody knows the different between the 6034 and 6035. I better like my OT-991 with MTK soc...
@gabcs
Unfortunatelly, after no success in searching for solution (couldn't find the ROM), two weeks ago, I gave up and sent my phone to service center and I hope that they will resolve the problem. Big and frustrating issue was that I couldn't get to bootloader any more, so the phone couldn't recieve adb commands, only thing that worked was CWM...
Service center will resolve that for 20 euros, and I will resolve my nerves
Anyway, thank you for your time and your help.
@zlamar,
what happened with your phone? Did you managed to have it repaired/restored? My phone is still bricked and It seems the problem is to find the appropriate custpack image as the french versions don't work for other countries.
Still nothing.... Service center where I gave it for repair isn't authorised and they didn't resolve the issue.
Does anybody have a full CWM backup image, and is willing to share it and upload it somewhere?
It has nothing to do with authorization, they just don't have alcatel service access.
There is special alcatel service flasher, that works online, and is intended for Qualcomm platform.
I played with it, and re-flashed my 6016x (MSM8210 - Qualcomm Snapdragon 200).
If you were somewhere closer, I would repair it for 20€ very fast and effiecent
@pmarkov ... I have original files but they are useless, because no any flasher to use them.
b.r.
ALex
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the clarification. Obviously this magic flashing tool is only internaly available for authorized service providers. Today I contacted the official local partner of Alcatel and they were positive they can handle the reflashing for approx. 20 EUR. Let's hope they really will fix it.

Hi all,
Just followed the instructions below to get a new rom on my TF201.
Now I have Teamwin recovery booting showing V2.6.3.0 and asking for a password.
Teamwin does not show data in external or internal sdcards.
I am unable to get into fastboot mode, using power and vol down.
It has failed since running this line fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery ne0zone75_tf300t.blob
I have all of the nvflash blobs etc.
Any ideas how to recover from this point?
Thanks
RR
This may help
Starting from a stock bootloader V 10.4.2.18
What you will need
Woking fastboot & adb / SDcard optional
TWRP for a 201 = twrp_tf201t.blob
@ne0zone75 TWRP for the 300 = ne0zone75_tf300t.blob
HairyBean BL & TWRP: This is effectively turn your 201 into a 300 <---- which is a flashable zip inside the zip that you downloasd
All 3 of the above file are in a zip in the Download section @ the top of every page of the thread ...... THIS ZIP IS NOT FLASHABLE...Your must unzip it to get to the real files !!! The name of this zip is 'upgrade_tf201_to_tf300t.zip'
CROMBI 201 ROM zip
A fully charged tablet
All the above files in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (if using windows) In your home folder on linux....
The process
Lets start with the TWRP recovery for the 201, let flash it with fastboot...
Power your tablet off and with the [ VOL DOWN & POWER ] buttons boot the tablet into the bootloader
Once there [ VOL DOWN ] untill the green box is on the USB ICON then [ VOL UP ] to select fastboot
Let make sure your PC can see your tablet with this command.
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp_tf201t.blob
Then
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot-bootloader
[ VOL UP ] ON RCK to enter recovery
Once in TWRP check to see if adb is working...
Code:
adb devices
Ok now that we know that is working let go ahead and push the HairyBean BL onto the tablet
Code:
adb push HairyBean_Bootloader_TWRP2.5.zip /sdcard
Now under the install tab in TWRP fine the folder and flash it....
reboot once it has fishined..If ask to install SuperUser say NO..........
LET THE BLUE BAR FILL !!!!!!!!! Once it has finished it will reboot into Hairybean TWRP....
Once booted into recovery, run this command to boot into fastboot
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
You will see that the USB icon is missing now, this is good... If you still see the USB icon DON'T go to the next step
Now lets flash @ne0zone75 TWRP recovery
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery ne0zone75_tf300t.blob
Once that has finished let reboot into bootloader
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot-bootloader
Now enter recovery....
Make sure its verison 2.7.1.0
Go to Wipe////Format Data////Type yes
This can take up to 90 mins to format
DO NOT INTERRUPT THE FORMAT !!!!!!!
Now lets push CROMBI-KK onto your tab
Code:
adb push cm-11.0-2014xxxx-crombi-kk-tf201t.zip /sdcard
Find it under the install tab and flash it..
REBOOT into android, first boot can take up to 15 minutes
ADB interface working
Ok, lots of playing this morning tells me that the adb interface is working when the teamwin recovery is showing.
adb devices gives <number> recovery
Any ideas how to proceed from here, apart from carefully

Hello I was having a tough time trying to Flash Crombi KK rom. At 1 point I had to use a recovery blob because I was stuck. I started from there upgraded bootloader and twrp 2.5. Flashed twrp 2.8 and Crombi KK rom kept showing fail. I eventually gave up and tried to go from 2.8 TWRP back to 2.5 with JB Bootloader. Bad move I know. Whenever I pressed up to go to recovery it would get stuck. Then eventually I tried wiping data from Bootloader screen. Now the 3 options, recovery, coldboot and wipe data wont show. Stuck at Asus screen "The Device is Unlocked".
I downloaded naked drivers and android ADB drivers.. however I cannot get them to install on windows 7. I'd appreciate any help to try to this back running again

I'm keen to have specific instructions on how to recover from this point back to stock, then take a deep breath and try to get to custom.
My concern is that a lot of the threads with guidance for recovery and flashing are old, and I don't want to brick this thing.
So, is there a thread for recovery to stock from this point?
I have found this thread discussing recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-prime/help/guide-t2864946

You need the blob from the stock frimware downloaded from the Asus website ....
It will be in a zip file that needs unzipped twice ...... Make sure you get the correct 'SKU' for your tablet ......
Then follow this guide, skip to the first fastboot command and go from there .....
