I loaded Eclair 1.6 onto my phone using the NAND tutorial. Android loaded and works well enough, but now the one problem I can't solve is connecting the phone to my pc. Major problem because I can't load anything now, not even revert back to my original windows rom. I'm sure this is a simple problem, but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for any responses.
To connect to your computer, the easiest way is to press volume up while rebooting, this way you can put your phone in recovery mode, then you can access your sd card via usb.
If you want to revert to WinMo reboot while pressing the power and camera buttons, this will put ypur phone in bootloader mode and then you can flash your WinMo ROM as you usually would.

You can load the default recovery by holding down VOL - and POWER, select RECOVERY, then press AND HOLD, VOL + and POWER to load update.zip which *should* load ClockWorkMod.
Try wiping cache and do another factory reset. First boot may take many many minutes
Edit: Also, no question under development! Mod, please move to general..

I thought that to but now the problem is that i can't boot at all!
That i forget to mention maybe!?
But the methode requires to have the phone working???
Or am i wrong?
Hey!
This is the issue: when I try to turn the phone on by just pressing the red button it goes directly to the fastboor menu. If I try to go to the recovery from there shows "TATTOO" for hours. If i try to go to the recovery dirctly by pressing HOME+ red button, it firsto shows the fastmenu for a second and tries to boot unsuccessfully. During this boot tries, I try to get some info with adb logcat, but the device is not casting anything. And well, if a picture is worth a thousand words, I guess a video is way better:
youtube.com/watch?v=zAejyMIVNGk (newbie, no urls!)
sorry for my english
And well, I have no idea how I got to this, this used to be my phone, but I bought a Nexus One and gave this to my sister, who has no idea what happened (as usual). Oh, this morning somehow I managed to get to the recovery menu, and booted until the android bootscreen, then vibrated and died again. I got to the recovery again, made a nandroid backup and wiped all data, it booted successfully, but the rom had no home application and ran really bad.
I was about to try to make a goldcard and install the stock RUU rom, but if I have no adb I cannot make one...
Any idea?
PS: the rom was nFinity 1.18 (2.2 Froyo) and the recovery was the lastest Clockwork.
PS2: I just realized that in every place I say fastboot I mean HBOOT, sorry again
sounds like recovery is still there, if you hold home + menu when phone if off , and then click red power button you should get recovery menu.
Then hopefully you can try full wipe and install a rom , rember the first time u boot a rom might take a few minutes
let me know how it goes
Yup, not using that method but I can manage to get to recovery sometimes. I'm trying to flash another ROM, but for some reason it doesn't let me. I've tried KalimochoAz (gingerbread) and HDCR (donut) and says something about assertion failed when checking if the device was click on the first case and in the second, complains about unsupported stuff...
I was about to try another roms by random but the SD does not refresh or even mounts, there must be something really messed up with this phone...
You can try to flash your stock rom from fastboot.
You don't need a goldcard, just run the update utility on pc, go to your temp directory and take the rom.zip file, rename it to CLICIMG.zip, copy it to sd card, put card on device and on fastboot menu pres vol down to start flashing the rom. I is the same version with the rom that device has before rooting, you will not get any errors.
I think there's a little misunderstanding here, mainly because of my confusion, it's not the fastboot menu qhat I get, but the HBOOT menu, and pressing the back button in order to access fastboot doesn't work...
oh I managed to boot something, I renamed the RUU exe to CLICDIAG.zip, because I could not find anything in C:\temp (is there where I have to look for the file?)
anyway, the zip appears to load on the phone, but once the progress bar completes, nothing happens... In my computer, the zip contains a .txt file and boot.img, but appears to be corrupt, and cannot extract any file (obviously, it's an exe)
so what do I do?

Of course will not work like this.
You must first run the RUU utility on pc and while is open to search your temp directory(maybe is inside another folder) for rom.zip file. This is the rom, the executable is an installation program which contain the rom and the app to flash the rom from pc packaged. You need only the rom.zip for flashing from sd card.
I've looked in the whole hard disk for that rom.zip after executing the RUU (I cannot get further than the step that tries to detect the tattoo, failing, so maybe it's not even created).
Apart from that, I managed to boot twice to what seems to be gingerbread, nFinity 1.18, but says in the lower left corner "Safe Mode" and I have no home application, no action on any button, just the notification bar and the lock screen. ADB doesn't work either.

You don't need to go so far. Just run the ruu utility and when the first screen appears go to temp dir(c:\users\you user's name\local\appdata\temp on windows 7). The executable is an encrypted package and when you run it extracts all included files and then starts the installation program. These files will deleted after this program exits(when the installation complete or an error occurs)
Cool! I just renamed it to CLICLIMG.zip and I finally loaded. The problem now is that when it finishes, instead of asking me to flash it, says
"CID Incorrect!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
<ACTION> Yes
<POWER> No"
While running the RUU I made sure that it was for HTC Tattoo since it showed me the device during the steps. And I got it from a post describing the steps to flash it using the goldcard.
Furthermore, this error is something similar to what happened when I tried to flash from the recovery. This is REALLY weird...
Probably this isn't the sama as your device's stock rom. I think goldcard needed for flashing any htc original rom, but without goldcard only the device's version will be flashed successfully. Try to download other original roms if you don't know which you had before.
Here is a site with shipped roms for tattoo:
http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Click
The RUU wasn't a problem, I tried now with a goldcard and flashed successfully! I could not get ADB connection to make it, but I once made one and still had the .img in my mail inbox.
But still nothing has changed...
pressing on drives me to the HBOOT screen, whose only options that work are "simlock" to flash CLICIMG.zip, and recovery (freezes on "TATTOO")
EDIT: does not freeze, but goes back to HBOOT after a while... ¬¬
You say that now you have the stock HTC rom and again you cannot boot it and instead the device reboots again to HBOOT?
Then maybe you have a hardware problem which leads to this behaviour.
OK, now I guess it still has warranty, but the problem is that I rooted it.
But now that I flashed somehow the original rom, should be no problem right?
Yes, if you successfully flash the stock rom, you're not root any more.
had that problem to, but theres easy fix for it without doing all whats being sayd here
Even tho phone dont boot annymore and stays on logo plug in the usb cable
and work with adb shell and reflash recovery (to be good tattoo-hack.ko etc tricks need to be done before doing it or you get errors)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=716282 step 1.5 and tools from step 1.3
and ether get Amon RA recovery or clockworkmod and use
Code:
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
then reboot into recovery
HTML:
adb shell "reboot recovery"
mount usb put in a custom rom and flash it
if all done well should work (had same problem)
bascly adb still work even if you think you bricked phone just have to let it "startup"
Greetings
I'm afraid that won't work. I've been trying all the time with adb logcat and adb devices unsuccesfully. I thought that the TATTOO bootscreeb would give me some feedback in all cases, but now doesn't seem to work...
I've had similar problems when trying to flash nfinityGB.
My problem was that I missed something on the way from
- creating a gold card
- rooting device
- installing recovery
- flashing rom
All I did was to download and execute "RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe" (or any other ruu).
Be shure to have SDK with all drivers installed properly.
After this your device is in unrooted (original) state as dancer_69 already told you.
Now you can decide whether to claim warranty or properly follow the guides on xda to get root and flash custom roms.
I think I know from long ago what is happening here, just couldn't believe it. Maybe the keys are sticked or something, that would explain the always going into fastboot mode without pressing the VOL DOWN key. Now it boots 1 out of each 5 tries, and when it gets to the home app, it's on "safe mode" (achieved by pressing MENU key while booting).
I think they will take care for it back in the HTC support (well, I hope)

Something like this thought when I said that maybe is a hardware problem.
Hi everyone
I have a Huawei U8800 which I can no longer boot (it gets stuck at the white Huawei screen). I can, however, access the 'pink screen' (vol+, vol-, power button) and the files when connecting it to my computer, but entering recovery mode (vol+, power button) does not seem to work.
I am an utter noob, so my approach to solve my problem would be to simply take the phone back to the shop, but first I would like to erase my personal data. Is this possible in my case, without voiding my warranty? In case it is not, could you perhaps tell me how I could go about fixing the phone myself (in such a case I would also be willing to scrap the warranty)?
Thanks a lot in advance!
PS: I have not rooted the phone or done anything like that, all I did was installing a couple of apps, so it's pretty much in its original state.
You should be able to flash one of the original roms and the phone would boot if there're no hardware problems.
The original roms were removed from the huawei website but if you search the site there were plenty links afaik.
Thanks dionero. The trouble is that I am too much of a noob to understand what exactly you mean by 'flash one of the original roms'. Could you please provide some more detail? Thanks a lot
Here is a rom with instructions on how to flash :

Thanks again! I will give it a go later on today.
Did you manage to recover the phone?
Thanks for asking! First I need to go and buy a micro SD card, as that seems to be required for the process. But I'll post an update once that's done and I've attempted the recovery. Thanks again for your time!!
Hi,
finally the micro SD card has been delivered - I'll never buy from that shop again, what long shipping times!
Anyway, I'm afraid the recovery did not work. The phone did react, said it was performing the upgrade, and it the end it even displayed the "Upgrade completed" message. Attempts to reboot, however, still don't let me get any further than the Huawei screen
One further observation I have made (even before the attempted recovery, but ever since the phone stopped booting): when the phone is switched off (which nowadays can only be accomplished by removing the battery), and I plug it into the power outlet, it immediately starts its booting attempt. When the phone was still alright, however, it would recharge its battery without trying to boot immediately. I don't know whether that's important, but maybe someone can make use of this information!?
Well, in case anyone on here has got some more suggestions as to what else I could try I would be really grateful. Thanks a lot for your time and effort, and for reading this!
How long did you wait at the Huawei screen? First start takes longer time and it should reboot multiple times. Anyway, you should try flashing one of the recoveries, 5.0.2.3 for example. You can find it in the development section. With that you should wipe cache and data, delete dalvik cache and then try to start it.
I'm on mobile so I can't give you a good tutorial, but recovery should be fairly easy to install (look for stockwell's recovery).

Thanks, Blefish, for your reply. I tried recovery flashing at some point along the way, and I tried it again now, this time using the version you suggested. Still I simply cannot boot into recovery mode. I can either get the "pink screen", or simply the white Huawei screen, even if I press Vol+ and the power button (I've also tried pressing them for different amounts of time, but all to no avail)
Oh, and as an answer to your question: I waited for maybe 15 minutes or so.
Sorry wrong info
1. Download a stock rom.
2. Create a folder on the SD card named "dload"
3. Copy UPDATE.APP and UPDATE_CUST.APP from stock rom archive to dload folder
4. Insert sdcart to phone
5. Switch on phone with press vol+ and vol- buttons
6. The installation will start automatically
Thanks ufukyayla, but what you're suggesting is exactly what dionero had suggested earlier, and unfortunately it did not work.
Hello,
This morning I tried to root my phone so that I can force everything to be moved to a sd card since the storage of the system is low not enough to install apps and to install A mod that is more updated then the current GingerBread OS.
I managed to soft brick the device the rom clearly said e405 obviously the developer has a few bugs anyway I manage to recover from my soft brick by A software 'KDZ' Only issue I have now is when I press volume up on boot I get A notice icon trying to say something (image of the icon is attached below) and when I use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery it will attempt to go there, Instead of going to recovery it goes to A loading page then this erases all my data/apps except SuperUser/Root.
Tried everything and it still does it?
When I use the LG Emergency Software it just goes to a page saying not responding??
Any help and ideas would be grateful so I can fix this issue and move on also im mostly A samsung user and im fairly new to lg.
See thee error message below
Once i get the idea of what the icon is actually trying to say I should be in the right direction.
Thanks,
Spudster

Perhaps you can go to ROM Manager, uninstall Recovery, then re-install it?
I don't really know. I'm sorta new to this stuff.

I saw that icon after flashing back to stock rom with KDZ and a hard reset worked for me. Pull the battery, make sure you not connected to USB or charger, then press and hold home key and down volume while you press power on. Release power when you see LG logo, hold the down and home for a while until you see android unpacking a box. It takes about a minute to see this, so you gotta wait for it. The phone reboots or shut downs, don't rememberwhich

Still didnt work it flash though but still didnt fix the recovery..
These lg are actually useless a simple firmware flash should do the job.
LG staff are also rude to be honest rang up and because I tried to root and I was doing the right thing going back to stock they denied support and hang up without me giving A reply. Glad ive switched back to samsung s4 and Apple IPhone 5C.
Thanks for attempting to help :.)
