Did I brick this phone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So today I was very foolish and formatted the System folder on an HTC Vivid that had cm-10-20131006-NIGHTLY-holiday installed. Needless to say, I no longer had an operating system . . .
I am still able to go into Recovery (TWRP), and I have successfully reflashed the build of Cyanogenmod. However, after booting, it is always stuck on the loading screen. I do not (and apparently cannot) have USB debugging enabled, so using fastboot or developer tools is out of the question.
What to do? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

. . . the old ROM? Every time I flash a ROM the operating system becomes stuck on the "Cyanogenmod" loading screen.
Please help.

Maybe your CM is stable insufficiently.
Try an more stable ROM.
I was used to use an HTC phone which had this problem.

Do full wipe.
Phone will boot

Do full wipe/format and make a clean install of a stable one.

I had a bricked HTC Velocity 4G and fortunately TWRP was still functioning from the Factory Reset Choice of my Boot List. So I tried many, one, the most sucessful, and gave me back full operation except WiFi, was: HOLICS_1.3_official_en_release.zip. it's link is available from this website if you read the forum on HTC Vivid/Raider/Velocity.
I am going to try and get my WiFi working with an Add-In before I completely forget that one? Good luck Amigo. Happy Flashing :laugh:

There have been a lot of posts on similar issues. You can "sideload" a ROM via ADB commands from your computer. If you can get into recovery, your phone can be fixed. I haven't done this myself (still stock), but do a search on google or xda on sideloading a ROM from ADB.

Did you clear the cache? Also, I've seen some people have to format the partitions.
EDIT: But formatting does not seem to be needed if you sideloaded successfully.

Sorry, I've not even rooted my phone, and I would not want to use your device as a learning tool. Let me look around and see if I can find a nandroid backup.
EDIT: Nope, I don't see one. Try opening a thread requesting a nandroid back for your recovery.

You have to be careful with No o.s installed .
Normally if u reboot when u see that you'll brick.
Without a o.s you have no bootloader..
I bricked my s3 and had to jtag it when it said no o.s I rebooted and black blank screen nothing.
I've had this happen also when choosing format system and format data /media some reason it botches the boot up .
My only fix was to sideload a rom or wipe factory and restore a nandroid .

my recomendation is that you get s -off and supercid asap so next time you run into a similar problem you can just install any ruu(note only do this if your phone has no official ruu) and work it out from there.

What you need to do is this exactly .
Dload a rom on pc reboot recovery on phone first .IMORTANT FIRST FORMAT SYSTEM.
Then when that's done choose factory reset.
Rename the rom to Rom.zip or anything you want but make sure it says.zip
Sometimes sideload won't work if roms not renamed , that's mentioned in another thread about sideloading.
Then sideload the rom
Let it load and install .
When it reboots itl take a while .
I just did this to my HTC one the other day after I got stuck after formating data media .

Yeah my phone is currently working now, but I have no play store nor do I now if my phone is rooted.
I have a custom ROM on it XenonHD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290785
That one.
Just currently trying to get to grips on how to work it and that.
I can't download the playstore because it says it is currently installed but it is nowhere to be seen.

Deleted OS from HTC One X+, fix?

Long story short i rooted my phone tried to delete an app accidentally clicked on a system file, tried to wipe phone and removed os by accident. any way that i can fix this? iv been looking for quite awhile and i cant seem to figure out something that works.
I assume your using a custom recovery? You can use ADB Sideload from recovery to push a custom rom.zip to your device.
I'm not sure about CWM but in TWRP the sideload option is hidden in 'advanced'.

Use the command fastboot flash boot boot.img

Hey, it's sounds familiar to what happened with my frnds nexus 7, is twrp showing this while rebooting that no os is installed? So it's seriously a problem because while researching Alot that time we found that problm is with emmc it's may b hardware+software issue as hardware may b gt corrupted if not than it's problm in some type of emmc partitions. Emmc is basically your storage. At that time we only found to install new emmc so we unroot it and and boatloader locked and send it to service center and got money back. May b it's another thing with you bt it's my personal experiences

Android 5.0 Lollipop Nexus 10 Factory Image

Hi guys here is the Lollipop 5.0 Nexus 10 Factory image from developers.google.com
Download link https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mantaray-lrx21p-factory-ad2499ea.tgz
Eagerly waiting for rooted stock
Guess the modified boot image work for this too. However not sure anything else has changed from compiled root friendly boot to the one in final factory image.
Skickat från min GT-I9505 via Tapatalk
Can you give us instructions how to pass to factory lollipop coming from root
How long does it take to boot. My nexus 10 is already showing the boot animation for 20 minutes (factory images)
I'm the same have reflashed to check, been waiting ages.

All I can say is do not do a factory reset in TWRP after flashing the stock images.... [emoji35]
Tried Reflashing the stock images but that does not solve the non booting problems.
Cannot boot and cannot get into recovery.... Bootloader works.... Guess I need to format /data [emoji17]
Not having any luck either, has anyone been able to flash the factory image for the Nexus 10?
Yes. No problem here. Just trying out get root. Doesn't stick ?
Tried modified boot but doesn't work. Guests I'll try again.
I think that as long as you can boot to the BL everything is fine and dandy
Working this time, set the toolkit to force flash and changed usb ports to be on the safe side.

For those having issue booting after flashing follow these steps!!!
Make sure you flash the stock recovery (using twrp doesn't seem to work and can easily be flashed after the initial boot)
Wait for fastboot to finish the install, the device will restart when finished.
Stop the Device during the boot process then go back to the bootloader (pwr, vol +, vol -)
Select Recovery Mode
You will see an image that looks like a robot with its front cover over.
You can open the menu from here with Power + Volume Up.
Factory Wipe, then clear the cache.
Reboot

Somewhat similar situation. I previously rooted my HTC One X+ (Intl) with Viper X+ rom. I thought I would experiment with it as it is no longer my daily phone, and since I liked the Cyanogen experience on OnePlus One, thought i would try to install it on the HOX+.
I followed these official (?) instructions http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_enrc2b#Installing_recovery_using_fastboot, however, after getting CWM recovery on and then flashing via sideload command the ROM, I am now stuck in the CM bootloop animation and computer no longer recognises the device, and can't find anyway to get back to bootloader, recovery etc.
I did read about bootloop issues after this and some people said that the boot.imhg file should have been flashed separately (thanks CM for not including that instruction!), and somehow my computer recognised it one more time after the bootlooping started and I managed to get into fastboot to flash boot.img, but, then rebooted and bootloop again. Since then I have had no way to get back into recovery or bootloader, so it just runs until battery dies.
Should it go into the bin? Or anything else I should try?
Thanks so much for any
EDIT: Solved...I was able to get recovery back, then did full reset and followed instructions above re boot.img flash and now am back into my phone with a new lease on life and CM ROM!!
Two more noob questions if I may, now that I have my HOX+ back...
I am now running CM 10.2.1-enrc2b.
I have 3 updates available and being offered to me (upgrade to CM11 from CM10):
- cm-11-20140308-SNAPSHOT-M4
- cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10
- cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M12
1. I downloaded and installed the latest M12, but upon rebooting it went into a bootloop for 15mins+. I then followed your instructions again to get back. So, it seems I at least need to install them in order starting from the earliest (ie M4), but before doing so I wanted to check if anyone knows if these are even compatible with my HOX+ (Intl)?
2. Which would be the best place to get the right gapps package and installation instructions (if CM can get it wrong, am now wary of someone else leaving out the critical boot.img flash step eg)?
Thanks!

to get into bootloader, hold down the vol down and power, the home lights will flash (atleast they do when its booting), it will reboot, when you get the htc logo, let go of power button. and now try a stable er version of the rom.

ok, dont do an ota update in cm, you need s-off, which you cant get on the hox+
flash the rom, flash the boot image, boot, reboot into recovery, SIDELOAD gapps and that should work. use cm10 for the moment, as cm11 has an annoying system ui crash loop bug.
Thanks again for your clear and helpful pointers that got me out of a mess, I seem to have figured it out, downloaded the latest CM11 update and extracted boot.img for separate flashing and it all worked, then added gapps and seems working good now (except for dead touch zone from kids dropping it too many times probably!). The OTAs clearly don't work as is and CM probably should update their instructions and how they push major updates that need a new boot.img. Now to work out what to do with my spare phone...!

SM-T705 root access

Hi,
I have a samsung SM-T705. (8.4 LTE) I started with the requirement to have simple root access.... I doesn't matter which android version I have . 6.0.1 is fine with me which is the official release.
What did I do:
I had android 6.0.1 official update on the phone. Tried kingroot but no luck.
Kingroot for windows. No luck
Flashed some download with odin on slot ap but no luck. Those include a 7.0.1 version . no luck.
Wiped data/cache/ factory reset en some things I do no remember and I do not uunderstand what to do ...

You Have TWRP and Are Asking How To Get Root?Are You Serious?.
Ok.Download Supersu.zip Latest From Chainfire and Install It Via TWRP.You'll get Root.
If You are Stuck In a Bootloop Try Downloading Lineage OS for Your Phone On a SDCard with Gapps and Install it Via TWRP
If you can't find Links Tell Me.

Just Don't go Solo Next Time and Don't tinker With Anything Without Having a Backup In TWRP.
Make a backup Now Zip it and Save it on a Desktop.
Do A Nandroid Backup[Go to TWRP>backup(Tick everything)]
Zip it and Save it on A PC or an Accessible.

Thxs I made a backup. Everything is working good but I cannot use mobile data. I configured APN 100% correctly. Calling is possible. Selecting a network operator not (which I need as I travel a lot). Do you have any suggestion to solve this? If not I cannot use the linguageos release for this.
Thxs in advance.
