Bricked Phone? - Droid Eris Android Development

Ok I got A Problem. Went to flash a new rom after backing my current one up with rom manager everything went fine till I went to flash it and now it says
E: Failure at line 7 symlink dumpstate SYSTEM:bin/dumpcrash
I dont have a working phone. Tried several different roms and nothing.
what do I need to do??

can u boot in to recovery mode " vol up + power button " ? and dont use Clockworkmod recovery as its known to have issues with the eris.
use the other recovery.
Thanks T.A.

Yes I can Boot into recovery thats it.
How do I go about Flashing a New Recovery Manager

Topaz is right.... Amon_RA FTW !

How do I install that now though. I have been searching through forums looking cant find a step by step
Forgot to say I was a Leaker before they found the method.
would this work

might work, I imagine you could also try this....

this gives you the S-OFF bootloader and Amon_RA for recovery
you might wait to see if others weight in on the best approach here.

Already turned S-OFF the only reason I have clock work is because my noobie ass used rom manager for convience

"noobie ass" is funny.
jcase's approach in your link is probably all you need then

if you do
adb devices
does its show a device HTCxxxxxxxxxx (some alphanumeric)?

Do this
Code:
adb push recovery.img /data/local/
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/recovery.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery.img
adb reboot recovery
try this in fastboot ( SEND + POWER )
not sure u can push files into /data/local/
hopefully it will work and if not and all fails.
put a rom on sd card and boot into recovery and hopefully clockworkmod recovery will flash it.

Yep, really have no idea what to do. I run the commands in what you gave me and the stupid thing says file its there when i use root command to navigate there its right there. idk whats going on.

Looping into recovery

My phone keeps booting into recovery mode.
Power on -> Blank -> Reboot -> Recovery
I had the new SPL (the saphire ported one), JF's recovery (i still have it on) and JF1.51.
This happened since i tried to flash the HTC ADP update.zip.
I have tried using the hardSPL, reflashing the saphire SPL, tried flashing back to JF1.5, Rodgers but nothing seems to work
Any ideas?
EDIT: I just checked and it didnt flash the saphireSPL! i dont think adb shell push is copying the update.zip's to the SD card.
EDIT:
SOLUTION:
I was right in that it wasn't copying the updates to the sd card, i borrowed a friends G1, used it to put on the saphireSPL, flashed (and it worked this time), got into fastboot (the hardSPL fastboot didnt seem to work), and restored my nandroid backups! yey! now to try JAC's build
if you want to adb push in recovery, you'll need to mount the sdcard first or it will appear to have transfered, but actually done nothing.
next time, try
Code:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

Oh my god... this (hopefully) has fixed the problem I've had for the past two days - I've spent so long reading every thread on here about the SPL problems, etc. I had a feeling the problem was the update wasn't working correctly, but I had no idea why. (It didn't complain, but just went very quickly - much to quick to be doing a full os upgrade).
Thanks!!!

hmm... or u can try to flash the kernel-overclock-update-v3.zip to the one you have
be sure to nand backup first
when i put the kernel-overclock-update-v3.zip on the root of the sd card and power up holding the volume down button it doesn't find the kernel-overclock-update-v3.zip and doesn't install it...? in other word how do i flash it, doesn't seem to be working like when i originally flashed and rooted.

Hey man,
When you rooted did you flash the Amon-Ra recovery image? If so put the update zip on the root of your sd. Power down your handset. hold the volume UP and the power on will bring you to the recovery menu. Here you have options for back up,flash from zip etc...once there you can select whatever rom/update you want to flash. Remember nandroid is your friend always back up. Also as far as apps etc...check out Titanium back up or one of the other free back up apps in market. I hope this helps you out.
volume up + end button = Recovery
ok, im following the steps to III: Flashing a Custom Recovery. and when i get to the step :adb push recovery.img /sdcard it says :cannot start recovery.img: No such file or directory...is the recovery.img also supposed to gon on the root of my sd card? or just the tools folder, cause its there?
yes its suppose to be on the root of the sdcard too
still says cannot stat 'recovery.img': no such fire or directory
am i supposed to replace /sdcard with /J (which is what my phone comes up as in my computer) -tried that still didn't work...
can u link me to the tut u are using?

Sorry newser here, irc??
Is your phone actually rooted? To check, turn on your phone, then turn on USB debugging through Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging. Plug your phone into the computer via the USB cable.
In the run box of your computer, type cmd, then enter.
When the command window shows up, changed you your SDK tools directory. On my system it would be:
cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the following command
adb shell
You're rooted if it comes back with
#
If it comes back with
$
try the typing
SU
if it does not change from $ to # then you might want to try rooting again, and be sure to install the Amon_RA recovery
typing exit multiple times will back you out of adb, and the cmd window.
Hope that helps.
Edit: Of course that works for 2.1 leak 3 users as well.
Easier way for you tho, if you boot to hboot with the send and end buttons, you should see hboot with S off if you're rooted. If it's S On you're not.

jailbreak ps3 using psfreedom, anyone successfully?

Hi expert,
Has anyone successfully JB PS3 using the following link?
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Droid_Eris
I cannot get it to work, just curious if anyone successfully done it would like to share how you accomplish this. There are 2 steps that I have question on, they are:
Fastboot should say < waiting for device >, I don't get this message, I only received boot image loaded OK
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko returns error message "cannot insert psfreedom.ko file exists"
I've been reading the last 3 days and still unable to get this loaded, is there a more up to date instruction for eris? TIA.

For what it's worth, very soon you won't be needing any device to jailbreak the PS3, the master key was discovered and most if not all future developments will be signed code making the jailbreak method obsolete.
There's already a working 3.55 custom firmware, though many homebrews still need to update to use it.
Its a recovery img just like Clockwork and Amon_Ra's. Its actually based off of Clockwork. So just flash it to your recovery.

No, I ran it on XP but I can see the PS3 jailbreak option now, there are 3 JB option right? PL3, PSFreedom, or Hermes, so I can just select any to boot my ps3 in JB mode, do you know if these payloads has spoof on them?

I don't believe any of them do. But you can download the other PL3 payloads from the same site also. Then just extract them to you sdcard.

[Q] Help!!! I think my device is bricked...

Hello everyone.... i really think i bricked my device and i would love for someone to help me... i Have been searching the forum since yesterday morning and i cant seem to find anything that works... well first off i am rooted (s-off) i used the gfree method because setting up adb wasnt going to well for some reason... but im stuck in bootloop mode or whatever and when i hold down power and the vol down button it recognizes the pd15dimg.zip file but when i do the update i get an error check out the first pic below... then when i put it in recovery mode i get another error check out 2nd pic... then when i to to load the pd15dimg.zip manually from the choose zip file directly from the root of the sd card i get another error check out third pic... as u can see im on cwm 3.0.2.4 and the rom i was originally using i dont remember the name but it was gingerbread...can someone plz help?? any help will be appreciated. thnx
I had this same issue 3 weeks ago. But I wasnt getting those partition errors with the PD15dimg.zip. I would first suggest downloading another one to make sure the one you got wasnt corrupted. But before I figured out to do the pd15dimg trick, the nice fellas over on Cyanogenmods Shoutbox were helping me out with a different method. You have the engineering bootloader, which is great news for you. I did not. Do you have a nandroid backup on your SD that you can copy over to your computer?
i didnt do a nandroid back up but i did a back up threw the rom manager i had... is that useful?

Once you get fail-pu you can't do anything as you need to send it back they have to replace the motherboard. Fail PU means failed partition update at this point once its corrupted you can't reformat it since we are using SLC-EUDA low level format which is 1 time.

the original file i used was corruted JDV28 sent me another file and it starts the update but idk how long its suppose to take because its been updating for bout 15 mins now
Well PD15IMG.zip can be corrupted and even if you get a good radio/rom image and verify it the problem you will run in to is when you try to write to the partition. Fail PU means failed partition update where you can't write radio, recovery and system. I was leaning on to gfree but I need another phone to fully hack it as I was massing with the emmc block last time but atm I don't have any other phones. Best solution is soon as you see the errors on recovery you should push and manually flash recovery partition and replace it.

I had the same issue, couldn't recover it so I sent it back.

[HOW TO] Flashing ClockworkMod via ADB

So was helping someone flash ClockworkMod via ADB in another thread, just thought if I made a topic for it, everyone can see it so if people have any issues they can always use this method instead.
Anyway, here are the instructions:
The 'flash_image' is within the attached zip file! Use the file within the zip file, NOT the zip file itself
The 'recovery.img' is your chosen recovery file, get this off ClockworkMods website or if you have a copy use that. Then when flashing the recovery image where ever it says 'recovery.img' replace that with the name of the recovery file.
Put the recovery image and the flash_image on the root of your C drive.
So,
(make sure you're in the command prompt and have changed directory to where the adb file is)
adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
It has now been flashed successfully
Hope this is of use to some people
Thanks! Very helpful.

Oh, well z4root doesn't work for me cause i got 2.3.5 i heard that the only way to root my blade is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257

You need to install drivers for fastboot if you use Windows. Sometimes you might need to unplug the usb, then plug it back in again & try fastboot again.
It should at least give an error.

What's the point in using fastboot to flash clockworkmod, it's just another way of doing it, some may prefer other ways (yeah via rom manager is a lot easier i know) but spread the knowledge, may be of use to some people.

You don't need your phone to be rooted to use fastboot, it's a method for new stock roms that have all the common root exploits fixed.
So, what's the point in this method when using Rom Manager is much easier? If you've already rooted your phone then this has to be one of the hardest possible ways to install clockworkmod.

I was never able to get fastboot working for my blade, always had driver issues, yet adb was fine. So I was able to use this method to flash and try the clockworkmod recovery touch that was released for us (turned out to be useless haha) but that couldn't be done via rom manager (well yeah, but you had to pay and i'm a poor student) so that's an example of when it could be useful.
point aside this is just another way, I just want people to learn as i am here to learn too.
Permission Denied
I need to flash CWM recovery using this adb method since I dont have data on the phone(Videocon Zeus V7500.. a clone of Commtiva Z51).
I have all the files in the right places but when I put the first command I get the following error :
I:\>adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
failed to copy 'c:\flash_image' to '/sdcard//flash_image': Permission denied ,
What permissions do I have to grant?
Try adb push c:/flash_image /sdcard/flash_image
Sent from my RACERII using xda app-developers app
Nevermind I figured it out, the problem was that I had mounted sd card to PC and I guess that was causing the problems.
I got it to work and have flashed CWM recovery now
Code:
I:\>adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
751 KB/s (26172 bytes in 0.034s)
I:\>adb push c:\recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-z71.img /sdcard
2444 KB/s (3831808 bytes in 1.531s)
I:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# su
su
# mount -o remount, rw /system
mount -o remount, rw /system
# cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
# cd /system/bin
cd /system/bin
# chmod 777 flash_image
chmod 777 flash_image
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-z71.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-z71.img
Thanks you very much for this thread

So was helping someone flash ClockworkMod via ADB in another thread, just thought if I made a topic for it, everyone can see it so if people have any issues they can always use this method instead.
Anyway, here are the instructions:
The 'flash_image' is within the attached zip file! Use the file within the zip file, NOT the zip file itself
The 'recovery.img' is your chosen recovery file, get this off ClockworkMods website or if you have a copy use that. Then when flashing the recovery image where ever it says 'recovery.img' replace that with the name of the recovery file.
Put the recovery image and the flash_image on the root of your C drive.
So,
(make sure you're in the command prompt and have changed directory to where the adb file is)
adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
It has now been flashed successfully
Hope this is of use to some people
