******UPDATE********
So, apparently my Recovery has gone bonkers, unfortunately I did not find a Android 5.x Stock Rom with Recovery or the Recovery itself - anyone here has an idea where to get it or could drop a dump?
***********************
Hey there,
I have a weird issue with my Dell 7840, I tried to do some research on how to properly root 5.1 Stagefright and now I can access the bootloader without problems but whenever I try to get into stock recovery I´d just restart the bootloader. Looks the the recovery is...gone somehow . And idea how to reverse that? Like flash the stock recovery, patch the entire stock boot partition or something?
Thanks

Hello,
I recently tried to install custom firmware for my dell streak, However, my device
is android 2.2.2, and I tried to install superboot ver 2.1 (Cuz a misleading
comment on a web site mentioned its ok to root the system by it), my dell
suddenly rebooted in an infinite loop. I tried to enter the recovery menu by
holding the volume buttons and then choosing recovery. Also, I downloaded
Streak_309_11548_00.pkg and hoped this would work, but a stupid error
had occurred, bad, just bad file at the middle of verification process.
Anyway, I cant install clockworkmod because there is no way to root the
device, besides I dont have any back-up image of the streak.
please forum help me, the phone is almost new ( 2 tweeks of use only)
and I will pay if your solution work.
Regards and dont flame me, Im a new android user.
tried an older update, new error
Status 2???!!!
You do not have to be rooted to install a custom recovery. You do have to 'catch' the phone as it reboots by holding the volume up and volume down buttons as it reboots after the fastboot reboot command. If you let it boot into a stock rom the stock recovery will overwrite the custom ROM.
Use StreakMod Recovery if you want a custom Rom.
You need to slow down and do some reading before you go any further.
Suggestions;
Streak Wiki
Universal instructions for flashing any ROM and FAQ
Making a custom recovery stick
Using StreakMod Recovery
Do you know what baseband is on your phone? If you do DL the rom from the Streak WiKi, rename it update.pkg and put in on your SD Card, do not put it into a folder. Start recovery and select to install the update.pkg. You probably got the error when you attempted to use BB 309 because the recovery and the rom you attempted to flash did not match. They need to match so keep trying until you get the correct rom for the version of the recovery that is on your phone.
You could also use fastboot to install StreakMod Recovery, use the fastboot command to rebot the Streak, As soon as the reboot process starts hold down both volume buttons to get to StreakMod. If you use StreakMod you could install SimpleStreak or StreakDroid 1.9.1.
There are links to useful references in my signature.
Good luck.
PS - your Streak is not bricked as long as you can get into recovery, fastboot or your can connect to your computer and the QDLTool will see it.
Im in recovery menu now and If I click
Software upgrade via Update.pkg
the screen goes blank and then just nothing.
K clockworkmod works now
tell me what to do next.
I tried to install streakdroid 2 and its works WOW, thanx to you.
one last question how to install the latest baseband from the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091236
sadly the link isnt available.
Don't worry about the latest baseband. If it boots up for you, I would stop there for now. If you were on 2.2.2, then you have either 351-354. Any of those will work for you.

First, I would like to thank you and the forum for your help.
I have experienced a low graphical performance, and Im thinking to roll back
to the latest DJ_steave's custom firmware (2.2.2), However, I can access to
clockworkmod by pressing both volume buttons and then choose the recovery
option, thats weird since almost all tutorials mention that if you want to access
that mod, you have to press the volume up button along the power button.
For now Im waiting for a response whether to downgrade the firmware or
keeping the streakdroid 2.
Regards.
if everything is working then i suggest before trying anything else. do a nandroid backup first, (by going into recovery then advanced and then you see a nandroid backup option)
And i feel streakroid recovery package is preferred for streak as it is designed for streak only and works great.
lesson = homework

Flash the stock firmware through KDZ updater. This will bring your stock ROM back. Search the forums for it.
hello,
I downloaded Flashify and I install with it TWRP (image), but I think, I downloaded a bad version, because when I restart my phone, It can't load boot screen..
- in 4.4 android I get error message: "error: can not load invalid boot image"
- in 5.0 android I dont get any info, it stops in boot screen..
I tried to change ROM (with full wipe), but it doesn't works (5.0 --> 5.0 --> 4.4 --> 5.0, etc.)
So I cant use my phone... Have you any idea? How I solve this problem? :/
thanks!
(sorry for my bad english..)
When you get into recovery does it look stock with the android there or does it show twrp.
If its not twrp you could use fastboot to try flashing a new recovery and then boot recovery after.
Then you could just reflash the fw you have before.
That could mean that you might have flashed the recovery img under boot.
Because you only restarted your phone and it just came up like black screen.
But what confuses me is you have went to 5.0 to 4.4 somehow and the problem still exists. Im wondering how you did that exactly, is it from backups or fw files from Asus.
If its the asus fw and the problem persists It might be the recovery and you might want to flash a different one.
The 4.4fw to 5.0fw should have flashed stock recovery again and the problem would have been solved. Only if you have used the downgrade fw and bootloader gets relocked
Overall its a weird problem
You could also try to flash cm 12.1 or 13.0 using custom recovery too if the bootloader is unlocked. And it should work just fine then you could go back to stock. You just might want to back up the data partition on stock then restore it after you get back to stock
Hey guys, i have a Acer Iconia B1-721 That has android 4.2.2 on it. It has a virus that infected the whole system. If i do a factory reset the virus still exists on the device. I tried flashing it with a spft image i found here, but it seems like its bootloader is still locked because spft gives a error and phone disconnects.
I pushed the system.img to the device using adb but it only caused the tab to stop booting. Now i cant use anything but the stock recovery to flash a stock rom. But the 4.4 stock rom for stock recovery does not get picked up by the recovery.
So i ask, is there anyone that can help me with the 4.2.2 stock rom for stock recovery or the test point to force flash with SPFT.
Thanx in advance.
Please guys, i really need your help.
Bump, please experts, help a guy to fix his tab.
I need to bump this again.
If no one can help me with the ROM or test point, can someone please tell me how I can flash the 4.4 ROM with stock recovery? Maybe i'm doing something wrong.
I'm relying on this to revive this phone.
Is there any way to configure "ResearchDownload" to work with cyanogen recovery?
I've been trying to unbrick my lenovo A1000 (smartphone) for the past 6 hours. It got bricked after I tried to do the OTA update while i had Cyanogen recovery unstead of stock. I found the right tools, drivers, stock firmware to flash, but it can't be flashed with CWM. I keep getting "user cancel" without doing anything, and it just boots into cwm and does nothing.
So my questions:
Is there any way to configure ResearchDownload to work with cwm?
I can't find the right stock recovery for Lenovo A1000, given that its a relatively new and not well-known device. Any way to find that?
If i manage to find the stock recovery, how can I flash it?
I did a factory reset and cleared cache after the failed OTA Update, so I am not sure if I can find any files from within my device.
Thanks for helping!
