[Q] Problems Rooting - adb can't find my phone in step2 - Legend General

Hi, sorry for having to ask about this, but I have searched around and haven't found anything which worked for me.
I have an unbranded HTC Legend (bought it sim free)
Legend Unknown Ship S-ON
H-BOOT - 0.43.0001
Firmware version 2.1
Baseband version 47.26.35.04U_7.05.35.26L
Software number 1.31.405.5
Am I right in thinking this means I do not need to downgrade?
And since my phone isn't branded, am I right in thinking this means I do not need a goldcard? I remember reading this in a thread a while ago and it was confirmed by others.
When I try to root the output for the console is
Code:
$ ./step1-linux.sh
Legend Root Step 1

Step 1 complete - now use the bootloader menu to enter recovery mode.
To do this, press the power button, wait a few seconds, then use the volume keys and power button to select the RECOVERY option.
$ ./step2-linux.sh
Legend Root Step 2

* daemon not running. starting it now *

error: device not found
Pushing update file to device sdcard - this may take a few minutes...
error: device not found
error: device not found
Now wipe and apply rootedupdate.zip from the recovery image menu.
error: device not found
So step 1 is saying it fails, but I don't know if this is a problem or not? I've read people saying just to continue anyway.
But for step 2 adb cannot find my phone so obviously doesn't work.
I'm on linux btw, so it wont be a window's driver issue.
Thanks for any help, and sorry again for the noobish question.

nope i had the custom id check fail, too.
rooted via xp. had this error in step2, too. sadly i dont know what i made wrong back then (maybe havent waited long enough for the /!\ to appear). but in your case step1 went just fine.

Thanks for the reply. So step 1 is working properly. But I'm still having the problem that adb cannot find my phone during step 2.
adb finds my phone when it's booted normally. USB debugging was enabled before I booted into the bootloader to start the process--I've read that that can affect it too.
Does anybody know why this might be?

Do u have HTC synck installed on your computer? if u do, be shure to close it before u start, i have noticed that adb cant find my phone in recovery when its on..

I do not have htc sync installed, no. I'm using linux, but I have also tried with my friend's mac and gotten the same results.
Thanks anyway!

You really don't need step 2.. Just download the clockworkmod recovery.. (update.zip) and place it in the root of the sd-card.. along with the rooted rom you want to use.. reboot to recovery apply update.zip and install the rooted rom.. that should do the trick..

You say that you dont need step 2 and just download clockworkmod recovery.. (update.zip) and put it in root.
I did all that but when i click "Apply:update.zip" It says
"E:signature verification failed"
Installation aborted
Any idea's on that?
P.s: I got the FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail) error on step 1 but everyone says it's ok.
Please help?
Thanks.

Hello!
Long-shot, but do you have a firewall?
My NOD32 was blocking something first time I tried to do step 2, but after I checked firewall restrictions - it went fine.
If you do have any firewall - disable it!
Hope that helps, cheers!

Ok first of there is so much to find concerning that error.
Google first then ask
Alright what ya want to do is , go here

Ignore the downgrade stuff download the hack file , use it as instructed then try again.
good luck.
EDIT:!
If your phone can't be found in step 2 make sure the port isn't open , I had , and have a huge problem connecting it as it opens so many ports , usualy a reboot of both cell and system fixes it for me. when you got it plugged in try using the netstat command to check if it's still open.

Hey, Are you sure I need to do the crackin.sh stuff. I don't see how it'll particularly help me out: from what I can see it just pushes busybox and tests if you are okay to downgrade firmware. Please correct me if I'm wrong though!
Either way, it didn't work. adb still couldn't find my phone whilst in recovery

This sounds potentially like it could be the problem. Would you possibly be able to explain this a bit more in depth. Adb opens a port to connect to my phone yeah? And the reason why it loses my phone in recovery mode is that the port might have been closed?
Thanks for the help everyone.

I'm a newbie to android world but loving the experience so far. Returning to the actual problem i experienced the same issue when i rooted my Lagend but after a continues trying i made it finally. Hope following points may help you
1- Start the process again recrack your device using crackin.bat in hack4"DeviceName"-v5
Make sure it gives you the following line in the end (crwxrwxrwx should match anyways)
crwxrwxrwx 1 1001 2002 90, 0 Jul 19 16:19 /dev/mtd/mtd0
If doesnt match do it again till u get the matching. (Though it will let you downgrade anyways even in case of no match it shows some thing like this cr--r--r-- but in rooting process it will create problem)
2- Then Downgrade the OS using Gold Card
3- Make Sure before clicking step-1 process your device is not connected to USB Cable First On it in Fast Boot wait for HBoot to find some update stuff then connect your phone to USB then select BOOT LOADER n run step 1 ( If it gives any error keep running this process again n again till it completes error free) After this plugout your gold card and put in some other sd card preferably formatted one.
4- Make Sure of repeating above in step two phase and keep running the process again n again until it detects your device and completes the process. I faced the same problem as you are facing but connecting USB cable in such mechanism i finally made it.
Important: Do this Using 32-bit OS machine as 64-bit OS machines gives problems.
Hope i could add value, Thanks

Was it any help bro?????

I have root
Hey guys.
thanks to everyone for the help. I've got it to work now by just using a goldcard.
Weird, since I've definitely read that a goldcard is not needed if your phone is unbranded. But apparently that wasn't true in my case.
Step 1 completed successfully with the goldcard. Step 2 did some things but then errored saying "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)", and just stayed at the ! screen. however, whitetigerdk was absolutely correct: I rebooted my phone to find it had been rooted.
I've downloaded rom manager, installed the custom recovery. I'm flashing cyanogenmod (azure) as we speak.
Thanks again everyone!

Nexus 4 kitkat update error

So I just got my OTA for 4.4 and downloaded the update. So I hit the restart and install button. The installing process ran like it supposed to be until the end part of it. The screen showed the word "error" with the android logo laying down. Then the phone just stayed like that and the screen not changing. So I decided to turn off the phone. Then I booted up the phone again, the google screen shows normally, but after that it shows the screen showing "no command" and I am stuck with that screen now and cannot go in. So I researched about it and find out I need to go to recovery mode. Then I hit the vol up and power button, then hit the recovery mode. But still, it shows the no command screen again.
Please help me... Thanks

Just watch the video and follow its instruction, you enabled the adb sideload command in the stock recovery. It has nothing to do with USB Debugging whatsoever.

Status 7 usually means something wrong with the package (or your recovery version isn't compatible, which is not the case in this scenario). So either your file is corrupt or you downloaded the wrong package to update. What package you use depends on what version you come from. You can either use:
4.4-KRT16S-from-JWR66Y
4.4-KRT16S-from-KRT16O
If you are unsure, try the first one, then the other. It's most likely the first though or your package is corrupt, so redownload it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Also try using wipe cache' option in the recovery to see if it help. (The factory reset option will wipe all your data.)

I'm having the same problem.
I had 4.2 stock (JOP40C).
I used NRT to unlock and root.
I then got an OTA update for 4.3 (JWR66Y, I believe) and lost root.
I was going to re-root, but received another OTA for 4.4, so I figured I'd install it before re-rooting.
Unfortuntately, I didn't re-enable USB debugging, which may be my current issue.
The install encountered an error (Android on his back and little red triangle).
Now I can't get past Recovery.
I tried installing 4.4 from JWR66Ymanually via adb using methods described here and get the status 7 message shown above.
If I try installing 4.4 from KRT160 I get an error indicating my device has the wrong keys (seems to imply not the right starting version for the upgrade).
I've also tried flashing the factory JWR66Y ROM from the Google site using adb. When I do that, I get a "signature verification failed" message.
It looks like there may be a way around this if a flash a different recovery. Can I do that with adb?
I can't connect with NRT anymore. I ahve some backups I made with NRT, but am not sure how to load them without using NRT.
I can sideload with adb, but can't do much else. "fastboot devices" doesn't return anything.
Help!
Thanks!

[FIX] Cannot make calls or receive them and no sound on I9505

Hi all,
If you change ROM quite often and baseband too, most of the time everything goes smoothly, however, if you choose the wrong combination, you might encounter a very annoying issue: lost of the system sound, no ability of calling nor receiving phone calls.
I finally found a way to make my mobile sound working again (as it should) and I am able to call and receive phone calls as well. No reboots either.
When I started my investigation I had the following on my mobile:
ROM: [AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.1 by jamal2367
Baseband: baseband XXUFNA1
Recovery: TWRP
Let me make the point. It is not because of the above settings that I had problems, but because of a combination of changing ROMs and baseband, probably only baseband.
When I was receiving a phone call only the vibration was working, no sounds, I couldn't slide the screen to answer properly, which means that I was able to slide, but the round icon of the slide could not catch the phone green icon. I could play no sound at all on videos, spotify, alarm, etc.; at the beginning I thought it was the current ROM, then
- I add to install Kies to try to restore the original firmware
- I changed it to another one
- I changed to CyanogenMod (and changed recovery to the default that comes with it: CWM)
- I rolled back to Samsung Stock edition (thank God I made a backup with TWRP months ago, before rooting)
Same damn issue and since I was there, I kept changing baseband with what I thought was the best for that particular (current) ROM. It is easy, you ask Mr. Google and he will tell you or you can try with http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
How can you fix it?
a. Download I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF_HOME.tar.md5 and I9505XXUEMK8_I9505OXAEMK8_I9505XXUEMK8_HOME.tar.md5
b. Untar them in different directories
c. Use Heimdall - http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/ to flash all files in I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF_HOME
c1. On Heimdal, click on the second tab _flash_, then browse your pit file, click on the button _add_ and choose the right partition. Do this for all the files inside the directory. Inside the _partitions (files)_ window you will have as many items as you have in the directory, in the example I put only 3, but you should have 12 of them in total (see image below)
- Under the partition ID, there is also a label/text that suggest you what file to choose.
- A note, MDM is for the modem, do not use MODEMST1 or MODEMST2
- If you do not have a pit, you can google it or as I did, use the forth tab _Utilities_, detect your device, and save as...under Download PIT.
c2. Then click on start to flash.
d. reboot in recovery and let CWM install unrecognized packages if asked. You might also find some red lines on the top left of the screen, but do not worry too much.
You might also find other red text _unable to unmount this or that_, after pressing start, but do not worry.
I tried to restart my mobile, but I was not able to restart it; in case you can, your stock Samsung ROM still has no sound. So
e. reboot in download and flash NON-HLOS.bin from the other folder I9505XXUEMK8_I9505OXAEMK8_I9505XXUEMK8_HOME. Use Partition Name _APNHLOS_ from partition Details in Heimdall.
f. the sounds is back
g. re-install your favourite recovery back
h. re-install your favourite ROM
I put back TWRP and [AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.1 by jamal2367
Current baseband XXUEMKF. I will leave it as it is for a while, without changing it.
You can use Heimdall on windows too, but in case of driver problems use this to resolve the issue http://zadig.akeo.ie/
LTE and WiFi will work too.
You can get the two folders from this zip file: https://mega.co.nz/#!GARWHLDY!d2hrbCaVMKMLOXdNG6VfgkFMcjZclXJHTxe6amz0TNM
Note:
- When you flashed NON-HLOS.bin it might get the message stuck on _Rebooting device..._ and it does not give the impression that it finished. If you manual reboot and sometimes it means _remove the battery_, it will work.
- At the reboots note how the text on the top left changes during and after flashing.
At the booting now I get a warning text on the top-left (small text), it is something I can cope with or fix it later.
You can read in some posts that if _my phone number_ in unknown, under _status_ then you have problems with phone calls. I always had that one and still have it and it is working, so I wouldn't pay too much attention.
- if you have problems with heimdall, remove Kies (actually you can just remove it directly) and on mac, to remove some dependencies, run
sudo sh -
kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungComposite
kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMData
kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMControl
the uninstaller seems like it is working ok, so you might not need the above lines.
Or just flash the right non-hlos/wifi fix and that should fix your problem ...if you have a newbootloader just flash any latest non-hlos, but if you are still in oldbootloader feel free to flash a BMH1 non-hlos/wifi fix.. have a nice day.

Currently I have this one instaled I9505VJUHOK1. It was working fine with the stock ROM from SamMobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61139/I9505VJUHOK1_I9505ZTOHOK1_ZTO/).
There is no sound at all on calls when using CM13.

[Q] Stuck in TWRP recovery project in G2

Hi out there looking for help with my G2 (D803) . I am new to all this rooting and TWRP stuff but been trying to learn and figure this out. I accepted some update after which the phone only boots into TWRP recovery project v2.6.3.2 now. Looks like I lost everything else (at least that is what I think has happened).
So I have been reading on the forums and learned about using ADB devices and getting the right rom from xda-developers (I am with Telus in Canada) - used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 - downloaded LG support tool and flash tool and drivers for phone and installed them all on the computer.
I first had trouble pushing the rom on to my phone (using ADB devices and ADB push commands) because the phone would just turn off while transferring and I could only regain access when the battery is fully drained (happens really fast now?) and I recharge (which seems to take forever now?).
I took the phone to a store and they did some tweaking (says SIMULATING ACTIONS on the title now below TWRP and version number) after which I could push the ROM (I did rename it on the computer) successfully on to the phone using "ADB push" in command prompt.
I proceeded to install the rom and it says successful but clearly it did not work. What I see is:
Finished running boot script.
E:storage partition '//TWRP/BACKUPS/018bf7ce0f4c6fa0' not found
simulation actions ...
updating partition details ...
but then I reboot and it goes back into TWRP.
I tried going through flashtool as well and followed the steps to install the kdz file but it seems like the computer is not connecting to the phone. But if i go to device manager the device shows and says working properly (i installed the drivers already) and you also hear the beep when plugging in the USB cable into the phone. again it also seems to connect through command prompt because i can push a file successfully.
I am getting worried that I am out of luck with this phone . Can anyone help or provide suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I tried going through flashtool as well and followed the steps to install the kdz file but it seems like the computer is not connecting to the phone. But if i go to device manager the device shows and says working properly (i installed the drivers already) and you also hear the beep when plugging in the USB cable into the phone. again it also seems to connect through command prompt because i can push a file successfully.
I am getting worried that I am out of luck with this phone . Can anyone help or provide suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm not entirely sure, but it sounds like everything in TWRP is being simulated, which would mean that no files are actually written. Try going into Settings in TWRP, uncheck the "Simulate actions" checkbox, and run the rom installation again.

Thanks for the reply. It definitely did something because the installation process moves forward now. Now I get:
Zip signature verification failed: 1
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/telus.zip
also when i unclick zip file verification in setting i also see:
checking for MD5 file...
skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
So problem with the zip file? I downloaded it off xda-developers but I renamed the file to Telus.zip and pushed it on to the phone in the sdcard directory.
Download the whole Rom and flash it

Hi,
Was stuck with my HTC Butterfly x920d with the same. Thanks for your guidance, was able to recover.
Foolishly, I had SIMULATE option checked in the recovery settings. Though was able to boot into system but no account, no google & reset stuck into recovery.
Thanks a ton
(I was trying to reset this device for my father)

How do you get into settings when it goes straight to simulating actions?

[Q] bootloader kitkat gt-i9500

So i upgraded to 4.4.2 and somehow the os got into salad status.
I was wondering if there is a bootloader file that will allow be to regain hold of the that area and be able to reload a kitkat rom
i believe i downloaded prior versions of the bootloader file and it didn't work giving the error of the magic string. i presume that's for a prior to 4.4.2
But is there a bootloader file that will breath new breath into it -
If I as a 10 thumbs expert is inept, can anyone guide me to someone able to repair it, I AM WILLING TO PAY THE ASKING RATE TO ANYONE THAT FEELS UP TO THE JOB.
I will be immensely grateful to anyone that can assist this 70 y.old in need of his phone. at my age fixed income is hardship
MUCH APPRECIATED
I read your story 3 times but I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
- What is "salad status"?
- Do you want to downgrade your rom or do you want to reflash the rom?
- Breath new breath into it? What does that mean?
to be or not to be
before the disaster i had loaded the revosoft 4.4.2 rom at a point the phone rebooted and in middle of boot it stopped.
right now when started it stopped 3 or 4 notes before the end of the samsung tune. and it dies there.
i tried - download mode - via odin several roms although the odin message says pass, the phone still stops at the logo
recovery mode - i get an efs error and it does not load the rom, it aborts during and reboots, and it stops at the logo
i tried to load a bootloader hoping to help erase the existing failed bootloader with a fresh one. the bootloader i got failed via odin (the message on the phone was - missing magic string - and fail on odin)
that's why i asked if anyone had the new 4.4.2 bootloader to help me restart propely the phone OTHERWISE
i was willing to pay for a capable technician to do the job
better and thanks if you are able to assist

First of all:
Did you make a backup of your rom before you flashed the revosoft rom?
Can you give us the exact error you are getting in the recovery. The EFS error.
fingers crossed
1) yes i have a backup of the previous setup - and i do have full backups - so i am not worried about wiping everything
2) when i go into recovery - i get this error - without doing anything - just by entering recovery mode
e:failed to mount /efs(invalid argument) = twice
# MANUAL MODE #
--Appling Multi-CSC ...
Applied the CSC-cod : unknown
Successfully applied multi-CSC
top of the screen reads
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H i950xxufne4
i stop here in case you want to proceed with other instructions -
btw i tried to reload the previous backup and IT also died at the logo
thank you for your patience - always bare in mind i am willing to ship this anywhere in case it needs a good surgeon - money is no object as long as it does not cost the price of a new smartphone
sincerely

Nokia 6 T-1000 official rom desperately needed

Hi, I bought a Nokia 6 T-1000 and it wound up having an unofficial rom installed. I am desperately trying to get the official firmware installed and I can't find it. Sadly, now my brand new phone just boots straight into recovery mode. Can anyone backup their firmware and provide it to me or point me to where I could get it?

I had tried that. I can only do method 1 though as it won't go out of recovery mode to turn on USB debugging. When doing method 1, it attempts installing, I see it installing three times with a couple reboots then returns to recovery mode and says the following:
Failed to parse build number in post-build-incremental=00CN_3_170
Failed to parse build number in pre-build-incremental=00CN_1_310
E1004: System partition fails to recover
E:Error in <downloaded filename>
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

It seems it's not the right file. When I check the built number it is 00CN_3_31A_SP. It would be good to know what built be you have as it is failing to increment the 170 .. I will check later what I can do

Thanks! Before the update, it was saying "00CN_3_170" under Build Number in Settings. I had spoke to Nokia though and they felt that the firmware had been tampered with.

I am still trying to figure it out. Based on where you live, you might be able to contact Nokia via online chat and they could direct you to a service centre to flash the phone. They don't have any in Canada though.
I am trying to get the legit firmware but I am not sure if it is the one I have or the modified one my phone came with causing me to be able to unsuccessfully install it.
How did yours wind up in that state?

Just a side note, I am able to sideload the update via the PC. It quits at 54% (failed to read command * no error) after showing those same parse errors on the screen though. Weirdly, then it reboots with a differently styled logo screen and tried (and fails) to update. Then the logo screen is normal again.
Just in case anyone is wondering, I spoke to the seller I purchased from on Amazon. Whether advertised or not, most China suppliers are installing a custom ROM on all China variants of the Nokia 6. When buying from a more local third party, you have no access to this ROM. I just bought this phone last week and knew about the update from Nokia so had confirmed with them that it currently didn't support Google Services. I didn't want a custom rom.
I have asked for either the rom installed or the official firmware that should have came with the phone and a means to install it or I will take action with Amazon tomorrow. I don't really want to return the phone, I'd likely wait for someone to release an official rom but I could barely afford this phone as it was and it is currently useless.
I just wanted to warn anyone else thinking about buying the Chinese model.

IMO the file that you download is to update the existing working ROM and the op has somehow ended up with one that doesn't work. So I think he would need the entire ROM the exact version that he last had to get back into the phone and then update.
