I rooted the Hydro Elite last night and immediately started cleaning up the Verizon bloatware. I must have went a little crazy and removed an APK from the system/app folder that is required for the phone function to run. I am now just getting FC's on 'com.android.phone' when not in airplane mode. Tried a factory reset to no luck, tried some APK restores from similar models, etc. In my arrogance of thinking I know what I am doing I did not backup the APK's I removed from the system/app folder. Normally this would be no big deal, I could just pull them from the ROM image, or reload an image, or whatever. But, it seems Kyocera or Verizon have absolutely no self-help ROM's on the net to reinstall nor has any custom ROMs been developed for this phone yet. I have the system zip but i dont know what or how to use or flash it/ restore it! SOMEBODY PLEASEEEEEE HELP ME

Try putting the phone in airplane mode then enable wifi, if that works then download "flash GUI" from google play and try installing the zip that way. Its a long shot but you got nothing to loose.

Ok I thought you still had function in airplane mode. I don't own this phone but I am assuming the bootloader is locked. If it is then there is no way out because you have no custom recovery and now way to flash. What options / features do you have in recovery?

How to: Use "adb sideload" on your Android device
Probably every Android power-user at least once in his life used ADB - Android Debug Bridge. It is a versatile command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device. Using ADB shell commands gives you additional control over your device and sometimes it can save your device from being bricked (example: How to: copy ROM zip file to the freshly wiped device). You can find some more basic information about ADB here.
Since Android Jelly Bean there has been a new ADB mode available in the AOSP recovery, incorporated by the Android developer community into custom recoveries too. It is called "ADB sideload" and most of you probably have heard about it already. This is an alternate method to the one I wrote about here - How to: copy ROM zip file to the freshly wiped device. The main difference is that ADB sideload works only with recoveries based on Jelly Bean source or newer. I believe that ADB sideload was created to simplify the process of flashing/restoring Android update.zip packages.
Keep in mind that while using ADB sideload, the regular ADB shell won't work. To be able to use SIDELOAD mode make sure you're running latest ADB drivers from the Android SDK (Platform-tools). Here are the simple steps you need to follow to flash update.zip package using adb sideload mode (based on stock Android recovery):
Place the ZIP package you want to install in the same location where you keep ADB drivers - adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll (usually it's SDK\platform-tools)
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in Settings > Development on your device
Make sure your phone drivers are installed on the PC you're going to use
Boot your device in recovery mode (Android logo with a exclamation mark) and connect your device to PC
Hold down "power" button first, followed quickly by "volume up" button. You should now see the recovery menu
Use the volume up/down keys to select "apply update from ADB," then press power to select it
Open a command prompt on the PC (cmd.exe), type and confirm with ENTER:
cd /d <adb.exe location> (for example: cd /d c:\SDK\platform-tools) or you can open your SDK/platform-tools folder, then press SHIFT button and the right-click mouse button and choose “Open command prompt here”
adb sideload <filename>.zip (for example: adb sideload update.zip)
The zip package will begin installing. When it's done, select "reboot system now."
How is that different from the alternative method? You don't have to manually create the proper folders structure, push the file and later install if from inside the recovery menu. The result is basically the same, because ADB sideload is also transferring the zip file into the device internal memory and later it automatically begins the installation procedure. However, it works only with recoveries based on Android Jelly Bean source.

Ok try to enable fast boot on your phone. Then connect to PC. Copy the zip file that you got from the Russian guy and paste into your fast boot folder. Type "Fast Boot name of file .zip" then type " type in commands to reboot your phone. And switch back to your phone, ( click on it from your desktop as if you are going to "safely remove". Google using fast boot to umbirick any android phone" tons of guides. I would post links but XDA does not allow it until I have posted 10 times
OK so which fastboot program do I use? And which fastboot folder exactly do I put the system zip in?

Sorry to hear, not familiar with windows 8. Im out of answers at this point with respect to fastboot. Maybe try contacting kyocera or verizon and tell them your predicament. They may switch out your phone. Kyoceras are unforgiving phones because of locked bootloaders.

Minimal,fastboot is an abbreviated version, should be the same/do the same thing. Look it up on xda forums. Not familiar with it so you are on your own with how it works.

Hydro Elite CWM (ported from LG Spectrum 2) can be loaded through fastboot from PC (fastboot boot hydro_cwm.img). If you can enter fastboot mode (yellow penguin) you could restore phone by loading CWM and restore from backup.
Link to CWM image: http://yadi.sk/d/sT3hyWWeLPuuD
Another way - flashing whole system.img partition through fastboot flash system system.img. Link to archive with stock 2.03 system image: http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=http:%2...ocera_elite.7z

Not sure you could load CWM since bootloader is locked, but flashing the whole system may do the trick. The exact breakdown is beyond my abilities. Maybe post the question on this forum on how to flash system img via fastboot. That should in theory restore you back to original state.

Yeah, I've been trying to find a good explanation for the difference between moto-fastboot and fastboot. What exactly is the difference between the two? Are all of the 'erase' commands just as effective between the two?
Can I just drag my fastboot.exe file into the same one my moto-fastboot and adb ones are, and use it interchangeably or will I need to copy other files as well?
Moto-fastboot and fastboot are basically the same, moto-fastboot allows for bigger file chunks(something like that)and is made for the motorola phones. Just use the same commands as you would for fastboot but use mot-fastboot instead.
Hope this helps.

Out of the two I've only used moto-fastboot to install a deodexed system.img. I've done everything else through CWM. I've noticed the moto version seems to be required with certain type of flashes (i.e. recovery,system).
I had to reflash my first backup yesterday and ended up using moto-fastboot for all the erase commands. I just wanted to make sure I was using the correct program to get the cleanest recovery.

weird, i use normal fastboot and have yet to have a problem flashing any file; recovery and system images included.
Hi I tried to flash recovery with romracer's . I got these instructions:Copy the recovery image to a convenient location on your computer, preferably with a short path. We will be placing it on the C Drive directly (not in any folder) and using that in the next steps.
Note: The recovery image should have .img extension. If it is in a zip file, extract the .img file from it.
But I can't even extract the zip file with the .img file to C because it says Error:internal error processing iso image.
I am a noobie. Could you guys give me a hand??
Thanks!

This is what is did I downloaded automatic bootloader unlock from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871, unzip it, you will find img file named recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029 replace it with romracer recovery you downloaded and rename the romracer recovery as recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029. Just to be safe even replace the recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-olympus with rom racer recovery and rename it as recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-olympus. Open main and select option 2 and follow the instructions.It worked for me
First of all thanks!
I did what you told me chose option #2 but when I got into the next #5 "now release vol down and press vol down until ...... it showed the exclamation sign with the lil android. Did I do something wrong?

what was the error you got, just to be sure download the romracer recovery again it may be a bad download.You just have to switch off the phone switch off the phone holding volume down until you see fastboot then connect it to pc open main and select option 2. It will ask you to do the stuff i just said, press enter it will show device serial number and then again enter and it will write the recovery image and will ask for reboot, hold the volume down button until it shows fastboot disconnect the cable then keep pressing vol down till you get android recovery press vol up to select and that's it you get the recovery.
Edit: Are you rooted and have an unlocked bootloader.
if you haven't read my last thread here is my issue.
my pc won't read my phone because it say "failed to open usb master mode"
i can access bootloader and twrp but i cant usb anything.
my pc will say mtp driver install failed
so my question is what do i need to download for adb fastboot? programs, drivers, all i need since the auto install from my phone isn't working. and if all possible link me to it. ive been up 14 hours straight trying to search every where on what to do but im coming up with nothing. just people saying install and reinstall......so far only clonz tried to help me. i tried sideloading but i didnt know i needed to abd fastboot....tried installing adt from a google search android sdk but eclipse is saying im missing a java file. what the hell am i suppose to do? where does all the adb files/sdk stuff go? im lost already.
Are you trying to copy something to the phone while it's booted up? If yes, you dont need adb/fastboot, only the correct drivers. If you are trying to flash a Kernel, you have to use fastboot. To do this, download the sdk, install it and all the necessary things from the SDK Manager. Then open the command prompt (as admin) and navigate to the folder where fastboot.exe is (probably smth like C:\Program Files\android-sdk\platform-tools). Make sure your boot.img (the kernel) is also there. Boot the phone into the bootloader, then connect it per usb and type
"Fastboot erase cache (optional)
Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
And reboot

some odd reason when i wiped to to a new rom it like wiped everything and keep saying no os installed. so i never use adb so i dont know what to download and my mtp driver isnt installing properly
I guess you wiped data and it wiped the internal storage too. And now you cant install a rom. I'm not an expert but I guess you could try extracting a rom zip and flash every partition since sideload doesn't seem to work. Better ask a dev about that one, though..
P.s. dont wonder about the "thank", I accidentally pressed it
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
EDIT: Do you have TWRP recovery? If yes, boot into recovery, select "advanced", then "sideload". Now open cmd again, navigate to adb and type:
"adb sideload rom.zip" (replace rom.zip with the name of your rom file)
Note that the rom.zip must be in the same folder as adb.

Hello,
Since my tf201 was getting really slowly I was thinking of putting a custom rom on it, since those are faster(?) than the stock rom. I found out that androwook is a pretty decent custom rom so I wanted to install it, only 1 problem. I have 0 knowledge of this 'Rooting, flashing, fastbooting..." The instructions on how to install it is useless to me. I managed to unblock it by using the asus tool, but thats as far as I got. I have absolutely no idea what to do now, is there any guide on this forum for noobs instead of experts of how to root and install custom roms?

I mamaged to get it working by simple renaming the blop file to twrp instead of the long original name and it worked, afterwards I rooted it with some moterola program I found on the forum. So now only the last 2 steps and I'm done

If you don't rename it. Then the command should be look like this "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf201-JB.blob"
Now you can flash the rom you like and enjoy it

Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!

If in bootloader type fastboot devices
In recovery type adb devices
See if you get a reply
In fast boot USB menu on the phone, I typed fastboot devices on cmd and it came up blank.

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

OK rebooting now I'll see if it uninstalled everything.
:fingerscrossed:
OK were connected now, now what? :good:
PC and phone are talking ?
fastboot devices
yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again
Okay, I need some help here with my One X+. Here's what happened: I tried installing a kernel and messed it up (pretty sure), then tried restoring it from a backup. Didn't work. Then I wiped the device. Then I sent a rom through adb to the sdcard and tried installing it. Nothing, happened, told me I have no OS installed. So right now my situation is that my i don't know what to do to fix my device. I think i have to install a different kernel and rom that work together but not 100%, some clarification would be nice. I can use adb and fastboot and have access to TWRP.
Device Specs:
Rooted
Unlocked Bootloader
HTC One X+ International Version 64gig Space
If nobody reply's soon I'll delete this thread, although like 60 people have looked at this thread.

Try this send a ROM as u did through adb and install it and flash the appropriate Kernel for that ROM....
The kernel has to be flashed seperately from fastboot mode........
or If u have the nandroid backup restore that and copy the boot.emmc.win from the TWRP backup folder to PC
flash the boot.emmc.win from fastboot mode.....
both would get ur phone boot....

I did flash the rom and it worked fine. The kernel I downloaded was automatically flashed the boot.img for using windows.bat. But when I go to reboot the device TWRP tells me that my phone has no OS...
Go to Viper ROM Thread in Development Section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122390) and download the ROM, then download Kernel and Recovery Flasher (http://d-h.st/rNC).
Start Kernel and Recovery Flasher as Administrator on your PC, change to manual mode and put in the fields out of the downloaded files of the flasher (boot.img, modules folder). Put the ROM on your SD via adb, start again in TWRP and flash the ROM.
I assume you flashed your boot.img with kernel you tried to install, so only install a ROM does not help....
Hope it helps!

Why not?? TWRP don't touches your user data, and the other wipes never ever kill you OS... (Sure it makes no sense to delete after installing ROM before 1st startup...)

I installed the ViperX+ Rom, that went smoothly, then I extracted the Kernel_Flasher and started the Venom Flasher went to manual mode and selected the boot image and recovery image the process is fine until it finishes installing then turns off my phone and tries to start in fastboot mode, however the device ignores that and tries booting normally. I tried booting in TWRP but it tells me still no OS.
