I'm hoping someone can help me, and I may need led thru steps.
I came from an x2, which I had managed to root, install recovery, and flashed and changed several ROMs, all successfully.
On my rezound however, I'm kinda stuck. I unlocked it, using the htc instructions and links, and rooted using zerg. I apparently don't have, and never have had recovery. Originally I just couldn't go any farther as far as gaining recovery or flashing roms, would get an error message and it would go to reboot. I don't know what I did 2 nights ago, but how whatever I do from the boot screen, I get an immediate haptic response, and it goes right to the white htc screen, where it is locked until I pull the battery. I've even tried to do factory resets, and it asks the prompt questions, but eventually it just reboots to the locked htc screen, until I pull the battery. Then it will reboot normally, but nothing was wiped.
I'm not totally inept, on the phone or the computer, but I'm definitely still a noob, but I really want to learn this stuff, the customization possibilities are the main reason I got the rezound.
I would appreciate some patient assistance from some of you knowledgeable folks!
Thanks in advance! Scott
Try using scott's cleanflash tool. It will flash recovery for you. It will also flash the boot.img (kernel) when you flash a custom ROM.
Sounds like you have fastboot checked in the settings.
If you really want to learn more about flashing, do yourself a huge favor and read up on ADB and fastboot. There's a few really good guides on them you can find by searching the forums, and knowing the basic commands will save you quite a bit of hassle vs. constantly doing battery pulls.
update..getting worse
thanks to the 3 of u who tried to help so far, i have tried some of your advice, but now my phone is basically non-functional, with constant reboots. it wont even allow me to do a hard reset. i tried it thru settings, when i could access them, and thru the "battery pull and buttons method". it confirms the reset, and goes thru the motions, but when i reboot it...everything is the same...including my problem. i need a functioning phone, does anyone know how i can go about putting my x2 back into service?
i know a lot of people on here probably figure i'm getting what i deserve, but if it comes down to it i will run over it with my car and get an insurance replacement. i really want to learn how to do this stuff, but without the background or any help, maybe i AM too "stoopid" Thanks Scott
Are you able to connect to your pc with it so you can use adb or RUU?
Not that I'm going to be the one with the answer to your problems, but maybe you can post exactly what you did that got you messed up in the first place because your post is a little confusing and it would help people who really know this stuff figure out what happened and how to fix it. Looks like you rooted and then did you ever flash a recovery?
ifyou would like hell free to shoot me your gtalk if you have one and I'll gladly help you out, got no plans tonight so I can help at whatever point you see this that also goes for anybody else having issues!

Ty wolf...and I very likely will take you up on your kind offer very soon! I was away all afternoon and evening today.
I did get out of the bootlooping mess I had earlier, I found a related post on droid forums, posted by malkavian under the title "continuous rebooting". The fix involved removing the sim card and typing in a code, and it fixed my most pressing problem.
I still have big problems though, I can't do anything from the boot/recovery screen, it goes right to the white htc screen and locks until I pull the battery. Also, I have tried several times to do hard resets, and those don't work either. I hope to talk to you soon...and thanks in advance! Scott
After scouring for two days I am just giving up and asking for help. Here is what happened. I have a At&t Galaxy Note. It was rooted but very glitchy. Kept shutting off, weird lines going through the screen, my camera didnt work. I know for that process I did TWRP and cyanogenmod. I went back to att stock from a forum found here. After I did that I had no google apps anywhere. SO my brother found some gapps.zip thing. He put it on my phone after I had restored back to a previous version that did have them. Now my phone wont stay on for longer than a minute. I cant get it to recognize on my computer. So I cant even try to get into it to see if I can fix anything. Everytime I conntect it, a message pops up that says that it cannot install MTP... Even if I restore again, as I have tried. It is still not letting me use it. Then my brother decided to re root it I guess. And that is all well and fine but i still cant use my phone. I saw something about a .zip that removes gapps but I havent been able to use that as my phone just wont install it in recovery mode. Can someone please please help me!!!!

wow. the first few sentences were making sense, then you just lost it grammar wise and lost me. it would have helped knowing what ROM was on your phone. from symptoms it sounds as if t was a 4.2 ROM with no GAPPS and some serious OC/UV issues.
but you lost me with your English and the "TWRP and CYANOGENMOD thingy" i know what they are obviously, but what you did with them is a HUGE guessing game. one person not knowing what they are doing is bad enough, but two of you.......... cant do that man. kind of like masturbating with someone elses hand man. who cleans up the mess.
absolute clean slate is going to be you best option in my opinion. the "Super Everything Thread" is going to be your new best friend.
read it, live it, learn it......................understand it. put yourself in position to help yourself first.
tutorals on YOUTUBE can help too.
can you get DOWNLOAD MODE?
do you have ODIN?
do you have PDA/ TAR files you need?
you may need to re-install the DRIVERS for phone on computer
there is a glossary in Super thread, that is why i capped these words. key points and things you need to do. its a marathon not a sprint.
go slow, one step at time, understand what you are doing. even rehearse it, i did. be confident in what you are doing. make sure you have files for I717.
read the OP's for ROM's
some need GAPPS (4.2) and some don't (4.1.2) or Touchwiz
the new 4.3 will also need GAPPS and there are 4.2 and 4.3 GAPPS. again make sure you have right files. all the more reason to take your time.
and uh, don't just let someone flash whatever on your phone, that's how you get a BRICK.
good luck and let us know.
if i have stated anything wrong, someone else will be buy to correct.
nothing wrong with how i am telling, others just may have shortcuts.
what you do with it is up to you, i just like to understand what i am doing, cause i will have to fix it.
but keep us posted

Im sorry, Im just really frustrated. My phone was working fine yesterday and now its a very expensive paperweight. And not only that but Im having problems with my laptop. Apparently the hard drive just went clonkers for no reason and now I have to put in a new one. Yes I can get into download mode. Yes I have Odin. Yes I have the PDA/TAR files. I made sure everything was for the sgh i717. I read each process ten times before I did it. I installed my drivers from the Samsung website. I think my problem is that the internal sd card isnt being recognized. When I go into recovery mode, which is CMW btw, it gives me an eemc 07 error message and says it cant mount. When I can get my phone to stay on long enough for thecpu to recognize it it doesnt say sd card just phone memory. I will be sure to read the super everything thread. As for a ROM there isnt one on here. If I try to put one one it wont install and keeps saying that eemc 07 error message. Thanks for responding. Im spiraling in self-pity right now but im determined to get my phone back.
If you get it back to stock, do a complete erase/format, and your still having all these glitches, there's a good chance there's hardware issues. Especially if your not able to see the external SD card etc.
If your the original owner (I.E. you got it from a dealer with a plan), and you can get your counter reset to 0 on stock with these issues still showing up, it might be easiest to take it in and get a replacement. That is, if you have a warranty option available.

Its not the external sd but the internal one. Its just gone... I know that this is the problem at this point. But I have no idea how to resolve that issue. I have no idea where it is or how to get it back. I have been on xda and droidforums for an extreme amount of time trying to find a solution but nothing going. The only way I have seen to reset my counter is to use triangle away. As I cannot even use my phone due to freezing and restarting I cannot even install that app. I am hoping that one person in the wide world has had this problem and fixed it and will read this and tell me how to fix it.
Status 7 means you need to update you recovery

I'm running 4.1.2 now. I will not be customizing like that for some time. I might think about it later but I'm so glad to have it back I'm just going to enjoy it for awhile.

you know, something going wrong with mine was my biggest worry. when I decide to screw something up, I can really screw something up. so I was very hesitant. it probably took me 2-3 months to get the courage to flash. but that was most likely a good thing. it made me be very thorough in the process.
all I am saying is don't let it completely discourage you. you have time.
glad you got phone back, I know it can be a bit of a scary thing. I have come across an issue or two myself and actually surprised myself by fixing myself. actually a pretty good feeling.
anyway, stick around, there are some pretty amazing folks here.

I will pay shipping to anyone that wants to mess around with my nook tablet. Its been bricked since I got it 2 christmas's ago. I don't think its fixable but I don't know much about it, except how to brick it. It just sits here doing nothing. Bootloop and that's it.... Any Takers?

I've bricked my nook PLENTY of times. There's always a way to get it back. Try charging it through a computer overnight (NOT through the wall) and see if that does anything. If that doesn't work, have you looked at all the unbrick guides here? It should be fixable.
As a last resort, I could e-mail you and you could send it to me and I'll try to work my magic on it. Assuming I get it fixed, you should get it in a couple weeks (as long as you cover the return shipping cost).
But before any of that, just go through all the unbrick guides here. One of them is BOUND to work. I personally recommend this thread here:

I have never seen a completely bricked NT. There is always a way to fix them. Some are a little more stubborn than others, but still fixable. What have you tried so far?

It seems like I've tried everything from adamOutler to many different options with the micro sd Acclaim, NTU unbrick and others. I give up. I can get into cwm with the sd card but cant get anywhere from there . Always E: cant read crap on everything. I think its bricked for good. Anyone wants to give it a shot they can. It bugs the hell out of me. I'm only hanging by a thread of hope and that thread is someone here.

Sorry, I'm just frustrated. And yes, I would love to be the one that fixes it. I've been modding my phones for years and just did my Samsung Tab 3 7.0. I'm addicted. The Nook is my nemesis....!
I'd rather you give it a shot first! I erased my ROM partition from clockworkmod and had to use the factory partition to fix it. You'll have to use ADB to fix it but it should be VERY easy to fix. Just copy and paste somebody's factory partition on to your nook and you should be good to go. You may have to edit a file in there and input your nook's serial number (located on the back of the microsd flap). The feeling you'll get after you fix it yourself is a GREAT feeling!

Sounds easy enough, Where can I get the rom and instructions? I'm totally willing but need guidance. Believe me, I have tried what I thought was everything and always knew that what your'e telling me is what I needed to do but was unable to get what I needed. Frustrating to say the least. I really do appreciate everyone's help. You have my email or the web, I will take in all that you have to show me, such as....."where to go to get what I need" What is the difference between "the factory partition" and "somebody's factory partition" or is it one and the same? And for the life of me, I could never get the nook to show up on my desktop or notebook while in CWM. I can sit here and whine all night but I wont.... I will look, read , search and try again and keep you posted as to what happens. If you have any good links, shoot them to me in an email please..... Next time I post, It will be to say I have trashed it or fixed it, preferably the latter. Peace people and thanks.
Do you remember flashing the 10-point touch firmware? If you never flashed it, then go to the following link, download one of the stock recoveries from one her file host sites, and then do the 8 times failed reboot thing (when it's attempting to boot up, hold down the power and home button to force shut it off; do it 8 times maybe more if it doesn't work) and then it will restore it back to factory.

Hey guys, I recently came into a Samsung galaxy s2 from work. The prolblem is the guy who gave it to me, gave it to me because he went to restore it and locked it up at a Google confirmation screen on setup and he doesn't remember the employees email used to set it up. He basically threw it on my desk and said if you can get it back running it's yours so I figured why not.
It's a Verizon model of some sort but without getting it up I've got no idea on the specifics. I downloaded odin but it's been a while using anything other than for Google branded devices and I'm not sure what files or Roms to download for this thing to even attempt rooting/cfw'ing without possibly bricking it out.
Any help would be appreciated, it's actually a nice little beater tablet to have.
Thanks in advance
I've already attempted googling for about a week+ with no luck

Sorry honestly did not know, I'll just try and do some research more online and see if I can figure out what images from Odin or what I'll have to dump on the thing it's legitimately from my job this is not a stolen device or anything of that nature.

I recently had my phone disappear and reappear 3 days later while in hospital and when I found it back in my bag, it was NOT the same. It now has a double screen sometimes. It also does not follow the normal routes when try to use settings or download from playstore. There are alot of strange things I'm seeing in settings that were never there before and I don't know how to get the hackers out of phone once and for all and get my life back. Can anyone PLEASE help me, I am at my wits end. I'm disabled and rely on my phone for alot. I don't have a computer so if there is a way to figure this out with the hacked phone or I also have tablet but I think they have synced my stuff to some other phone or computer they have. They reroute my calls and stop texts and emails from being sent. It's ruining my life on a daily. It's been 2 wks and each day, they r deeper and deeper into my stuff n life. Help please??? I don't know if I'll b able to even get back to this site or page so if you have a way to help me, please put here and if don't mind, send to my email at [email protected] so that I will definitely get it. Btw, that is my new email...I'm afraid to even sign into anything else on this phone. No matter what I try to do, they seem beat me to it. Hope someone can help me. I have Metro and Alcatel. I'm posting this July 2021 in case gets buried in posts. Really would appreciate help. Can't get around, stuck where I am and only have these 2 devices on same carrier. Hope someone has some good advice/help for me. Thanks so much. Hackedchick2021

Hope someone has some good advice/help for me. Thanks so much. Hackedchick2021

ehhhhhhhhh,
kinda scary if i thought
wouldnt want that to happen to me
hmm
can you check the recovery and bootloader of your phone?
Check your Google account to see if any unauthorized devices accessed it.
Have the firmware reflashed at a repair center. Then change your Google password and any other passwords that were on it.
Be wary of any data saved from that phone before the firmware flash which will completely wipe it. Best to not use any data or especially files saved from that phone once newly flashed.
You should always redundantly backup critical data from the phone for this and other misfortunes that can happen.

XD lol people are ignorant nowadays lol,
I backup with pitchblack frequently for a reason.
All the better for keeping ur bootloader locked after installing what u want
But let him check his own bootloader and recovery, if they installed a custom one he could just do it himself if he wanted
i wonder why a hacker would risk that when there is the zero day exploit and stuff and plus mediatek and the mail gpu have root exploits lol
(why i like using qualcomm)

Turn off your phone and hold the power button and vol up keys

That was " MediaTek" but changed it. There are alot of things that say MediaTek and overlay or copy in the name in settings. Do I delete them?
