Hi all...
I've been trying to get a second ROM on my device (Snapdragon) by using Dual Boot Patcher, I watched a Youtube video and it says to set kernel and update ramdisk. After updating RAMdisk and rebooted, now my device vibrate 5 times and then goes into recovery. I have not yet flashed the second ROM.
How do I fix this? I only have an outdated backup of my device, so I would really like to not lose my current data yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm running a Vodafone HOX+ with
Android: 4.1.1
Sense: 4+
Software: 1.14.161.18
HTC SDK API: 4.63
HTC Extension: Sense45_1
Kernel: 3.1.10-g262c6aa
Baseband: 3.1204.167D.31
Build: 1.14.161.18 CL122573
CID: VODAP102
Now I'd like to root it an run Evolution HD 5.1 on it.
Could someone point me at the most important threads in order to get me through the process.
I already loaded the ROM. Do I need to flash a Firmware as well?
What role does my CID play with regard to rooting?
I'm no complete noob. I rooted and flashed several ROMs to a defy+. Pain in the ass BTW.
Used Clockwork mod back then. Eversince I had Clockwork mod on it, flashing new ROMs was very easy from that point.
Thanks in Advance.

Probably the best one, Its all in one!
I followed the instructions. When I got to "Flash your kernel" I flashed the Kernel delivered by the Android HD Revolution 5.1 thread.
Now my phone won't boot. I just get the white screen with the htc logo. Is this a boot loop?
Pretty much. Did you flash a recovery after you unlocked your bootloader?
I accidentally flashed "your own recovery" first. Whatever that may be.
Then I flashed CWM (INTL Model) and after that once again flashed "Your own recovery".
Like the tool said I then put then Boot.IMG into the kernels folder an then ran "Flash kernel".
Now I can hold the off button and the screen goes black for like 3-5 seconds and then it goes on again (without my interaction).
Then it gets back to the htc logo.
Sometimes the red LED above the screen is constantly on. Sometimes it's constantly off.
Please help
I might be wrong but the kernel that comes with that rom is already in the zip file for that rom. So all you have to do if boot your phone into recovery mode and install from sd card the zip file and it should do everything for you unless you have a different kernel!
I went into recovery mode and was able to install the ROM. After it I said reboot and it's still not getting beyond the htc logo...
Do I need to wipe cache or something after installing ROM?
Update:
After installing ROM it's gotten worse. I'm not able to go into recovery mode any longer. I see Clockwordmod Recovery loading, then the phone reboots. Tried several other images, also TWRP, but it's also rebooting.
Somebody ?
I flashed the image that was in the zip after flashing the Rom for several times and then my phone suddenly worked. Thanks for the help

hi guys,
my find 5 was having some reboot issues (it was rebooting a few times per day) and that was a bit anoying. I was using an old original FW so i decided to update to a newer one. Heard good stuff about the Omni so i went for that, so i was using TWRP 2.4.1.0 (i think... i'm sure it was 2.4.x) and on the omni page they said we have to use TWRP 2.6 so i went for an update.
here, i think, i've created my problem. I used the new flashify app to install the TWRP but instead of choose recovery img i choosed to flash the boot and i guess i'd flashed the TWRP on the boot.
well anyaway, now i'd installed the TWRP 2.6.3.1 i manage to start the phone in fastboot and recovery all good here, i install every rom nice and easy over TWRP but the phone simply doesn't start, it gets stuck on Touchscreen Firmware Update please wait.... this happens ALWAYS with what version of TWRP or even if i install CWM...
my guess is that i'd messed up some partition or so i don't really know what but i'd tried to format every partition that TWRP let me and still getting the freackin Touchscreen Frim updt screen... so need some Pro help to help me undo the mistake i'd done...
i'd tried to manualy flash the boot with my current firms boot.img and still no go... the damn touchscreen update screen keeps showing on no matter what....
thanks for everything
i change the firmware and start logo changes too so booting it's changing why the hell the touchscreen update keeps appearing... grrrrr i even installed a chinese firmware and a equivalent screen appeared i'm pretty sure it says: "Touchscreen Firmware Update in Progress Please Wait" but in chinese XD really don't know what to do anymore...
some ideas please?
i just don't know what to do anymore... does anyone knows what makes the phone try to update the touchscreen firm? today i installed the CWM in boot not in recovery just to test if the damn thing would go to the touch updt screen again and it just boot to the CMW like it should (normal because i'd flashed the CMW in the boot place). now i flash a new firmware (that will flash the correct boot.img) and the thing keeps holding on the touch update... i'm really out of ideas now
one other thing it's that if i install the TWRP in boot it won't boot in TWRP like it shoul... it stucks on oppo logo.
well i managed to install the same firm i had and have no touchscreen update... but if i install any other firm the message appear...
Stuck in a boot loop with my HTC one m7 (sprint - US) where I can use recovery just fine, I can flash both CWM and TWRP and sideload any ROM, but none work. AOKP and Cyanogenmod each crash seconds after booting to the lock screen and MIUI stays on but throws up persistent errors about the UI stopped responding (not giving me access to do anything). All I would like to do is get any stable ROM to run so that I can use an RUU file to restore everything. On another note, the phone says "unlocked" in the BIOS like screen at the beginning, but CWM and TWRP keep offering to root my phone, which never works. It was rooted before... Somehow my CWM back ups got deleted, no clue how. It seems like the same problem is affecting each rom, becuase I have used each before without a problem. any suggestions are much appreciated! Thank-you!

wiped every thing I could from recovery menus
no backups available
Hello dear community
This is my very first thread I am making on this website, so please pardon me if I am on the wrong page of this website.
Anyways, I'm more or less desperate. I saw a youtube tutorial on how to install Android 4.4 Kit Kat on a Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and I heard I'd need root AND a custom recovery.
Because I'm a total newbie to this kind of stuff, I tried the very first thing I saw that had something to do with custom recovery, because I already had my phone rooted. So, I looked up a tutorial on youtube on how to install CWM custom recovery and ended up with installing it successfully, but now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. As I already mentioned, I am a newbie and therefore I am very desperate at the moment, you know.
The only thing I can do is go to Recovery Mode, but if I try to turn the phone on it gets stuck in a bootloop (It actually doesn't loop at all, it just freezes at the moment when the Samsung Galaxy Note logo appears and doesnt do anything after that.).
I think my problem is that I actually threw a new Kernel on my phone, because the video title says "How to install Kernel with CWM [...]"
I would be very very very very very grateful if anyone was kind enough to help me get out of this!
I really need help!
Thanks!
PS.
If this helps you help me:
This happened when I had Android 4.1.2 installed.
There's going to be 2 ways to get out of this:
1) Reinstall the stock firmware via Odin.
2) Install a custom rom via recovery.
Personally, I'd go with number 2 because a) you wanted to update anyway and b) if you have the right recovery and rom, it'll be easier as you can just put the files you need on an external SD card and install via the custom recovery. Now, not all recoveries are able to flash any file. Many times you need specific ones to install the newer android versions. So, if you are wanting to install something 4.4 based, then using a recovery that was made, say, last year, probably will not work well if at all.
Another thing to try first, is to wipe the cache and dalvik cache in recovery since you said you tried to install a kernel. It is always recommended to wipe these when installing (assuming you did pick a compatible kernel with what you were trying to install).
So I tried TWRP and have had extremely bad luck. I thought I bricked the phone at first, then it was stuck in a boot loop, THEN TWRP could not read from the internal memory, and to top it off, when I finally got the phone to boot up, I went ahead and bought a sim card and got it hooked up to ATT, and when I inserted the sim card, it automatically rebooted the phone into TWRP and reset everything (deleting all my apps and stuff) and got stuck in a boot loop.
I had an old phone and used clockwork mod recovery without any issue. Does anyone know where to find a CWM recovery image for the z5 compact?
Actually, if anyone has even the STOCK recovery I would be forever grateful. I would rather stock than TWRP at this point. I don't want to risk my phone being reset and having everything deleted again.
Same issue, unable to boot rom, TWRP has no access..

I am experiencing the same issue. I would like any working recovery/rom at this point. My Wife has the identical phone. Can I make a copy of hers to help the OP and my phone out?
I followed the following;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-sony-xperia-z5c-t3339930
and have tried a few times now. As well as other versions of TWRP..
On a side note I wouldn't mind testing new roms/features being implemented by developers. Please let me know where the best place to get involved would be.
Thanks in advance,
David.
found a boot.img and TWRP that worked for me..
So after a lot of flashing I found one that works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/orig-development/twrp-z5-compact-t3235161
at least I can get twrp working for now..
I still can not get CM installed. Each time I get 'Error executing updater binary in zip'. I will have to do some more reading tomorrow.
