Hi all,
I got a VZ replacement GS4 the other day and was lucky that it was still running 4.4.2 so I decided to give a go at rooting the device. I tried a few one-click solutions but none seemed to work. I eventually found a method on these forums([How-To] Root I545_NK1 - 4.4.2 (12-1-2014)) by muniz_ri that worked like a charm. Here are all my current info...

After gaining root access, I downloaded superuser, Titanium Backup and Rom Manager. First thing I did was back up all my Apps/Data with TB. I wanted to flash some ROMs before I did I went into ROM Manager to backup the current ROM and after the initial reboot I noticed it was not booting into CWM Recovery but what i think is the stock recovery and would show the android for a second and then it would show it "dead" with the error triangle above with the message "No Command". From there I just continued with the system reboot option 1.
I tried a few more times, same result. I even tried TWRP to try to backup the current ROM and I'm getting the same result.
Any suggestions on what can be going on?
I believe people said CWM and TWRP aren't possible for builds beyond MDK cause the bootloader is locked. I think you probably should use ODIN following this to return to factory NC5, get updates to NK1 and get root using this. I think the current way for rooting and backing up is flashfire? maybe you can use that for custom roms. Or someone comes by and corrects me for being dumb

Hello!
A month or two ago I bought the the non-US Atrix and I wanted to have CM7 on it.
As I thought the information on the steps over at this page would work even for the international Atrix I tried to flash clockwork recovery, and little did I know that it didn't work when selecting Atrix 4G as model.
When trying to get into android recovery returned the error "Failed to boot 2" I didn't think too much of it for the time being as I could boot Android as usual.
Now when there is a new system update available for my Atrix I obviously want to install that since I still haven't gotten CM7 to work. But when the phone restarts to install the update it gets stuck at "Failed to boot 2 Starting RSD mode". Restarting doesn't work since when Android starts up it wants to reboot into the installation of the update.
Is there anyone who knows or have tips on how to solve this problem. I would really like to be able to use my phone again.
Use the Motorola update tool.
Cwm didn't work provably cuz your bootloader isn't unlocked (?)

I still have the problem where my phone wants to restart every time I start it, and for Motorola Software Update to be able to update I have to have the phone connected during the whole process.
Or is there another way of doing it that I don't know about?
Hello guys
How do i get CWM on my SOLA
as from yesterday i am trying to get my xperia sola (4.0.4/B.1.54) rooted and fitted with cwm so i can install Xnovator rom on my phone
so far i have managed to obtain root and i have tried installing cwm with RecoverX, while the program works i cant seem to access cwm in any way
i tried vol up / down + power i have tried all together but nothing, olso via rom manager i tried selecting the option reboot in recovery but it will just boot normally, ive olso tried xparts in the market but it is stuck on loading info
i will now say what i did step by step following this
http://rjmaharjan-techspot.blogspot.nl/2013/05/how-to-root-sony-xperia-sola-with-most.html
so using flashtool i flashed the tft -> screen went black -> after that i used the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ryv31 (manually took the latest)
and so i obtained root that way, after this i tried getting cwm with recoverx, but it doesnt seem to have installed any cwm
what am i doing wrong, im spending to mutch time on it already while it is probably something really stupid i am missing

So my phone was rooted until I got the 4.3 update( Silly me for updating). Once I got the update and Samsung Knox appeared on my phone It said I had to disable it, well after following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 it disabled Knox, but I have some sort of problem with updating the SuperSU binary?

I click continue then is asks if I want to use Normal or TWRP/CWM
I do not have a custom recovery, so I clicked normal. Then it pops up that it is installing
after 2-10 seconds it fails and asks me to reboot and try again
I spent 4 hours yesterday trying to get it work and searching the forums(and google) for answers. At this point I am completely stumped on what to do. Any ideas? Can I get back to completely stock somehow so I can try again? Or is there a way to update SuperSU?
I will be checking back this is not one of those posts where someone asks a questions and does not return

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Give this a try while phone connected to PC, run "adb shell" command, you should see $ prompt, then run "/system/xbin/su", you see root's # prompt. Please verify this before we proceed further.
I ended up just flashing stock then doing it all over again and it worked. Sorry for the late reply and thank you
Hey all,
Tried installing CyanogenMod 12 on my Sero 7 Pro while following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297246 for files.
I successfully flashed Clockwork mod and had my device rooted. After following the steps in this guide here http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/01/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-cm12-android-device/ for installation, I then tried to install CyanogenMod. Upon doing so, I get hung up on this screen

and eventually I receive this message
I'm not able to reboot at all into android as I pretty much have no OS at this point in time. I tried sideloading the .zip on here and I get the same message. I also tried various other ROMs and received the same error message. Pretty sure I messed something up here... :crying: Anyway, if you guys can help me fix this issue, I would really appreciate it. Sorry for the noob question!
Thanks!
Well, seems like I must have installed an old version of CWM or something. Not sure. I decided to try flashing TWRP which worked. I tried again using this loader, and, for some strange reason, it hung up on the same screen. I decided to leave it and walk away just in case. After a few minutes I came back and it successfully installed! :good:
Running CM12 build by Meticulus! (Thanks!)

Hi,
I own an Acer B3-20 tablet with stock firmware, rooted via kingroot and unkingrooted with supersu me pro.
An OTA update came today for my tablet and I did proceed not thinking about the root thing.
The update failed with the file
Code:
/usr/bin/debugd64
found not equal to the one expected. I assume it is the rooting process that changed that file.
No damage was done when I rebooted. All was there.
So I said to me. I am gonna reflash (OS_Acer_AV0L0.B3-A20.RV03RC06.WW.GEN1_A51L_A.zip) the stock firmware from SD Card to get rid of root but when I got into recovery mode (power+ vol up) I discovered that menu in chinese instead of stock recovery. OMG!

Edit: looks a lot like this
I tried again the update after deactivating super su. (unrooting ?). It failed to do the update again but drop me it what seems to be exactly the stock recovery. So I used it to reflash the original firmware provided by Acer for the tablet. hence unrooting completly. and proceed to make the update again which worked this time. :silly:
Did you get the new chinese recovery after the update ? my build is now: Acer_AVOLO_B3-20_RV07RC01_WW_GEN1
How did I get the original stock recovery given I have already reflashed the original firmware and did not get it back (but I applied the OTA update on top of it) ?
What does every line of it mean ? Can somebody translate this menu, please ? the last one is reboot . It's all I manage to get
first highlited line seems some low level stuff and all this does not seem to be the recovery in chinese.
Thanks
