Help me anyone.
Today i wanted to update twrp on my z2
When rebooting the twrp-light (green) went on, i tried to access it, but it skipped.
Then i tried to flash a CWM-recovery to reflash and restore the backup.
Now i cannot acces that recovery either. It skips, goes to boot-logo and bootloop.
Hope anyone has a clue what happends and can help me. @Envious_Data, do you have an idea?

1. Bootloader is unlocked (needed for twrp)
2. Use flashtool and a FTF to recover your device

Seems like you and I had the same way of thinking, cuz I just did so, and now restoring.
Hope it works.

After flashing CWM tenfar's and going into android recovery I get the little green Android guy with an exclamation mark. Please help!
damn i just saw this the other day and thought i saw what the correct answer was. i think it means the flash didnt work and you need to do it again. wait for the proper answer.
Alright thanks for giving me hope that it can actually be fixed! What's the point of being unlocked if I can't get CWM anyway lol.

did u delete this file "install_recovery.sh" located in your /system/etc/before attempting to install Tenfar's CWM....if u didn't delete that file then that's ur error...delete that file and then reinstall CWM...and btw you would need rootexplorer to delete that file...make sure u turn on r/w button in rootexplorer.....
THAT WORKED!! THANK YOU! I deleted the wrong "install_recovery.sh" before. Using it to flash GB as we speak. Thanks again!
Problem was solved by taking it to samsung service!
They changed a main piece. The motherboard!
DO NOT USE GALAXY_UNLOCKER.APK if you dont want your phone tottaly bricked!

Hello,
I dont know IF posting in the right place, but I searched the whole forum for a proper answer how to "unbrick" my boot loop-ed Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830..
Now I've tried installing several firmwares using Odin multi downloader v4.83 but none of them helped me, after all I cant access Recovery Mode!
I can acess Download mode, Emergency Dmod (arm9) and RAMDUMP (arm9)
I have: Android 2.3.3 GingerBread on T-Mobile Carrier (Hungary)!
How did I get here: rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.2 and used an app for unlock (Galaxy Ace Unlock.apk) witch was probably the main source of the problem... Had no problems until I decided to reboot, rebooted successfully, the problem I had then was No carrier, then tried a second reboot and ever since then I'm stuck into a boot loop with no access whatsoever to RECOVERY MODE.
After installing firmware and waiting the 5 minutes in Odin, my device reboots intro a boot loop after about 2:32 min and nothing can be done furthermore...
I've serched the forum and found that data.rfs is missing in the firmwares... maybe that the source of the problem to... I dont know...
Please help me fix this problem!! Thank you!
p.s: noob alert

You have done everything you could and it's still not fixed (even the things other people did when they had the same problem - it worked for them, but not for you), so warranty is the only other way to get it fixed (or at least replaced).

Thank you for the help Theonew! Appreciate! I've taken it into warranty service, hopefully they wont find my device inappropriate for free service, and so I dont have to pay for it...
The only problem is that I have to wait at least 8 days untill I get it back..
Anyway, I've researched this Galaxy Unlock apk. and it seems thats the main source of the problem.
Thanks again!
So I was flashing a new rom in CWM on my AT&T Atrix 4G, unlocked bootloader, running CM10. I was going to flash CM9 because there was a bug in CM10, and when I went to wipe my dalvik cache, I hit the wrong menu option somehow and wiped an internal partition that must've been the one that CWM was on, so now I get the screen shown in the picture. Any ideas guys? Thx.

I'll give it a try. Thanks man! I was looking at SBF files, which I really wanted to avoid. I'll let you know what happens.
Nothing. The fastboot command line tool couldn't see my phone. I'm going to look for another guide. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Driver issues. When I click yes to the error on the first button, the error in the second screenshot pops up.
By the way, I just want to say I appreciate the help and the quick replies.
Found the drivers and successfully flashed RomRacers Recovery through Fastboot! Thanks guys! She lives!:victory:
It's odd though, I just flashed cm10 and I'm having frequent random reboots and the screen calibration is off.
It looks like the trick here is a pds partition fix. I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back.
The pds partition worked.

I am a RAZR user and have it all rooted and running great so I am fairly competent but a co-worker has the ATRIX and it was in a bootloop. I offered to help and find myself practically where you were except I have no OS on the phone and can not seem to get recovery on it.
Can you share where you found the right drivers, recovery, and a good OS? Basically I need someone to hold my hand through this because I do not have the time to keep looking for the right things since I have a kitchen remodel underway and a wife who....need I say more?
Thanks

I got exactly what you did. But even in fastboot mode I can't get out of this screen after flashing the recovery. Actually it does not get into CWM or another recovery but each time I Vol and Power Down it gets into this screen again. Looks like flashing does not help at all. If I select Boot Android it powers up in the last ROM I flashed before all this. The problem is that I cannot operate any soft button at the bottom: the screen looks not calibrated so I need to push on areas lower than actual buttons are, and I don't know how to get out of that either. No Back, neither Home or Search buttons are unreachable.
What can I do? How to reflash this phone?
If you activate the RSD mode you can flash your stock rom with RSDLite. There is a superthread with the original firmwares, you will lose root and unlock but it will restore completely your device
Good morning guys,
Im not even sure where to start because im just getting into programming. I just tried to root my HTC rezound last night, so I followed the tutorial to the letter. Everything went very well by all accounts, except after unlocking bootloader, pda net, installed superuser, but yet when I try to verify that I have root access the phone does not recognise the root. Does anyone have any ideas why this could be? Ill be more than happy to post whatever information you might need in helping me figure this little problem out.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure about a stock Rom, but I did a custom recovery and haven't touched s-on or s-off yet. I did unlock the bootloader and pda net using the walkthrough found at the htcdev.com /bootloader site. I don't know if I just need to find another walkthrough to finish the rooting process or if I'm way off here. The phone itself still works as good as ever so at least I didn't brick it. I feel like I'm close or at least on the right track.

pull your battery and re insert it.
hold vol down button and power until you get the white bootloader screen
The top should say unlocked in pink
if you have a custom recovery it will also say tampered in pink
since you are new and not sure, to continue we need to verify this
what does it say?
