Hi guys, a long time browser, first time poster!
Star N9500, MTK6589
After an age trying to find a rooting solution that actually worked (vroot), for recovery I was advise to flash CRT 2.1 using MobileUncle Tools. It said it installed then rebooted my phone.
Alas now I am unable to boot into any recovery at all, Stock or CRT. I can only boot into Factory Mode, which doesn't seem too useful or user friendly and I can still boot my phone into Android.
If anyone can point my in the right direction to sorting this out I'd be very grateful. I'm pretty new to this flashing thing, but managed to unlock, root and flash my Nexus 7 without any issues!
Many thanks
No worries guys I sorted it.
Used this guide to flash CWM recovery automatically using MTKDroid Tools
Thanks anyway!!

hey guys, searched the forum, found some stuff matching my post but figured i would put out an update. just rooted tonight, ive done these before and i used to be a member awhile ago but forgot what email used. anyway, galaxy s2 sch-r760. recovery problem. CWM doesnt seem to offer a proper recovery and im new to using odin so im not sure where to go from here. how can i go about making a backup if i cant get into recovery? i would like to do a new rom and back this thing up asap. need a new recovery or ideas for one. any help would be appreciated guys!
You need to expand on this.What did you do to root,do you have stock or cwm recovery?
Followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928566 to root. Its a generic CDMA. Root went fine. It tells me that it has root access. I am trying to flash CWM recovery and it won't boot into recovery from the CWM option. It shows the unpacking screen for a few seconds then reboots. As of now I am assuming its stock recovery because I can't get it to boot into recovery from CWM like I was saying
Tried doing a manual boot into recovery and it turned on, said galaxy s2, turned off then rebooted. Its acting like there is no recovery at all....
No help on this guys? Anybody mod generic s2 before?
hi
i need some help guys. I have had an alcatel ot 908 for the past 3 months and have successfully rooted it and installed clockworkmod. However, i made a fatal error after doing so by flashing a custom kernel for the phone, forgetting that the phone had to be on 2.3 gingerbread in order for that kernel to work. Now apparently my phone is bricked and it does have clockworkmod installed but i cant access it via any hardware keys (the only way i did before was typing in "ADB reboot recovery" in cmd). I know this phone is not very popular but i'm still hoping that someone here might be able to help me. From what i'm thinking, I need some way or some program to reformat the whole phone and reinstall the os. I already have the stock os (froyo 2.2) on my computer, i just need a method to push it back onto the phone. Thanks
I'm also playing with one
I've flashed an OT908 and bricked it.. Did you made a nandroid backup before playing? If so, enter recovery and flash it, and it's alive again
Best Regards,

Hello dear community
This is my very first thread I am making on this website, so please pardon me if I am on the wrong page of this website.
Anyways, I'm more or less desperate. I saw a youtube tutorial on how to install Android 4.4 Kit Kat on a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and I heard I'd need root AND a custom recovery.
Because I'm a total newbie to this kind of stuff, I tried the very first thing I saw that had something to do with custom recovery, because I already had my phone rooted. So, I looked up a tutorial on youtube on how to install CWM custom recovery and ended up with installing it successfully, but now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. As I already mentioned, I am a newbie and therefore I am very desperate at the moment, you know.
The only thing I can do is go to Recovery Mode, but if I try to turn the phone on it gets stuck in a bootloop (It actually doesn't loop at all, it just freezes at the moment when the Samsung Galaxy Note logo appears and doesnt do anything after that.).
I think my problem is that I actually threw a new Kernel on my phone, because the video title says "How to install Kernel with CWM [...]"
I would be very very very very very grateful if anyone was kind enough to help me get out of this!
I really need help!
Thanks!
PS.
If this helps you help me:
This happened when I had Android 4.1.2 installed.
There's going to be 2 ways to get out of this:
1) Reinstall the stock firmware via Odin.
2) Install a custom rom via recovery.
Personally, I'd go with number 2 because a) you wanted to update anyway and b) if you have the right recovery and rom, it'll be easier as you can just put the files you need on an external SD card and install via the custom recovery. Now, not all recoveries are able to flash any file. Many times you need specific ones to install the newer android versions. So, if you are wanting to install something 4.4 based, then using a recovery that was made, say, last year, probably will not work well if at all.
Another thing to try first, is to wipe the cache and dalvik cache in recovery since you said you tried to install a kernel. It is always recommended to wipe these when installing (assuming you did pick a compatible kernel with what you were trying to install).
Hi everyone,
I have bricked my device. Like an idiot I hit install on the most recent Sprint update. I was rooted, stock but with custom twrp recovery. After it tried to reboot and install it took me to twrp and won't reboot to the home screen. I can't even get my pc to recognize the device. I also can't get it to install a different rom either, it will say successful with the install but won't boot into the rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/zv6-update-accept-info-fixes-t2959461 go here and study.
A great dev for our phone steps up again and provides new folks with information that we all need at some point in the journey of root and custom recoveries. Please thank engine95.
