Oops.
So I got 'Rom Manager' from the app store thinking it would simplify my rom flashing tendencies. I loaded the Clockwork Recovery on last night, did a backup and tried to flash Damage1.0 over 0.99.
Now DC1 is freezing on the nexus startup screen and when I boot into Clockwork, I can't select any of the options; I have to remove the battery.
Can anyone help?
There is alwaready a thread about this
Um... where? Sorry if this is a repost.

But can anyone suggest anything for my specific case? I'm entirely dead in the water here.

when you're in recovery you still have access to the flash_image functionality. So all you really have to do is get the old recovery img and put it on the root of your sd card. then just do
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-whatever-heroc.img
and that should put an old recovery on for you, then you will be able to flash other roms as much as you want. have fun
I appreciate the reply. I'm not quite sure what you mean though. I can't mount my phone because I can't boot - so I can't put any files I don't have onto the memory card. Also, how would I input that code if my computer can't see that I have my device connected?
Sorry, if my questions are annoying. This is the first time I've ever had a problem with any of this stuff. Help would be greatly appreciated... I really cant afford a new phone right now.

adb wont even read it? if you do "adb devices"? ( in recovery mode )
you need to download the android sdk
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
then you can run the command
adb shell
which will give you a command line on the phone.
If you don't have the old recovery on there then you can run something like
adb push fileOnYourComputer /sdcard/whateverName.img
if he flashed the clockwork recovery he has to have the android sdk for adb

It looks like you can flash it from the app

This is the problem with apps like that and automated processes for rooting. When the phone goes BOOM we need to go back to basics to explain things.
I downloaded the SKD, but I really have no idea what to do at this point. I'm trying to use terminal to execute commands, but nothing is coming back. What am I doing wrong?
Would anyone mind PMing me a walkthrough for pushing files/flashing updates via OSX? I would really appreciate anyone's help.
unzip it
open up a terminal
cd into wherever you unzipped it into
Code:
cd tools/
./adb devices
if you see your phone then you can do all the command we have been telling you
push the old recovery onto the phone
Code:
./adb push fileONComputer /sdcard/NAME.img
go into the phone
Code:
./adb shell
and run the flash
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/NAME.img

yeah i agree automatic programs that do this for people hurt them more than they help them haha, the automatic ones should just be a convenience to those who know what they're doing !!
Problem solved! Another victory for y'all at XDA. Thanks a bunch to all that helped.
Hey guys.
I've been searching this damn problems all day and cant find a straight forward solution i can use so i resort to asking you guys for help. Im sorry if the solution is easy but i just cant seem to get it.
I was trying to unlock the bootloader today. So i downloaded the SDK and got an unlock code. But then the problems begin. First i missed AdbWinApi.dll. I relocated the file so Fastboot.exe would work. But now it does something and closes up in an instant.
How the hell do i make the screen stay open to enter commands?
Thanks in advance guys.
fastboot has to be done via CMD sounds to me like your double clicking on it.
Cant give you more info than that really out of not wanting you to brick your device, if your struggling to use fastboot to unlock you should think twice about doing it.
also just to add there is NO advantage right now in unlocking the device.

I am double clicking it because i cant figure out how to run it via CMD. I cant change directory in the CMD. I thought the only way to remove bloatware was to unlock bootloader?

No not at all!
Simple download gingerbreak and root it with that go to market download root uninstaller and off you go.
You change DIR like this:
hold shift and right click on the folder containing the tools select open command prompt here. but please dont do it! not until youve read a lot more.
There is no need right now to unlock the bootloader. Wait for custom roms possibly the weekend i may have a go at a kernel overclock but that's if i get the time wolves are playing sunderland.

Ok i finally got the CMD thing running. It just keeps saying: Waiting for device. Ive re-installed the drivers but it still cant really connect. Phone does go into fastboot mode. Anyone got any idea? Because else im just gonne try another laptop.
Fixed, used wrong driver.
Note that the android_winusb.inf file provided by SE is a quick hack (do a diff of both versions to appreciate the workmanship..)
In particular, it will not work as it is on Vista or Windows 7 with AMD x64 CPUs.
To fix it, you'll have to open the .inf file in a text editor, and copy the "; SonyEricsson" line and the 3 lines that follow under the "[Google.NTamd64]" section.
Save it, replug your phone with the search key pressed, and windows should finally be able to accept the driver.
Hi!
I just made a backup with Helium and copied everything to the Pc after the backup was done. After ive been rooting and everything i paste back the folder into my phone and start Helium in my phone connected to the Pc, but nothing happend. the Helium app dosen't find the backups and their in my phone. The Pcapplication says that my phone is connected too.
Please could anyone help.
bump
I don't know if it's Helium's problem or the computer's fault, but I had this too.
It turns out that Windows doesn't copy the .json files from the phone to the computer, and these are the files that contain the application data.
If you use adb pull, it works fine, though.

the link below will allow you to revert back to stock unrooted 11A.
after that you can take the OTA to 12B, reroot via IORoot and then use FreeGee to install recovery of your choice.
This has saved my phone a couple times from me getting too cocky with screwing around with things i don't fully understand but think I do.

Ok man here ya go, did some digging around here and found these two threads that may help you.
First is a means of pushing TWRP via ADB, not sure if that is the answer for you by you never know till you try.
Second is a means of using Ubuntu or a VM to replace the corruption caused by OTA

No worries on the questions man, here is the guide I was talking about. It is pretty straight forward but some areas you may have questions I will let you know what I did.
At one point it talks about setting up system variables or something to that effect. I did not perform this step.
When you open the SDK manager and look at all the packages that are listed it can get a little confusing, for me I just selected all and let the install run it's course. ( took about 20mins ).
Once the install is good it talks about moving a copy of command prompt to the platform tools folder. Not trying to insult your intelligence but it is that simple. Just locate where the .exe for command promt on your computer is, copy it and paste in the platform tools folder.
Once that is done turn your phone on and then plug the phone into your computer. Open the command prompt from the platform tools folder and then type the following:
adb devices
it should populate some brief info about your phone. If not then usb debugging is not enabled on the device. This is why I think this one may not work for you because if it isn't already enabled not sure if there would be a way for you to enable it with the state your device is in, but there are two other ways in the TWRP guide that i already posted about that may work plus the second thread talking about using ubuntu.

Does it say:
"adb" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or bath file
If so the command promt isnt executing from the platform tools.
attatched is a screenshot of two CMD windows, look at the location listed before where what you type in shows up.
the location on the left is from the cmd opened from the platform tools folder, the one on the right is from opening up command prompt from where it is originally located on my computer. when you open yours compare the locations and let me know what you got.

im on windows 8 and when i try to find the cmd application i only get a shortcut?
not sure if it differs in windows 8 or not but I know i 7 and older versions it is located C:/windows/system32
also when you copied it did you select paste shortcut or just paste? If you selected paste shortcut that may be your issue, i selected paste and it populates as its own .exe not a short cut. Let me know what you get.
Okay guys first off sorry if there's a thread for this but XDA has become so over crowded and full of comments it's just to much to read through and try to remember. But anyway
Can anyone point me in the right direction or simply explain real quick how to properly root the T-Mobile variant. I'm running full stock (Obviously) I'm on H91810j and would like to debloat a little and use greenify. Any help is appreciated.

Also, just remember, there is a search function on the v20 section's main screen. You can always use keywords and the function will search what you are looking for (if someone has posted something related to That). As French prople says... "Bon chance|"

Wait. I forgot to tell you. You cant double click the files. The files can be accessed only by using cmd. (command promt). So, extract the files into a folder, and use cd or pushd in dorect it to the directory where the files are. That is the proper way.

You could use the desktop but it is more troublesome to type the directory. Thats why i suggest to put it on the downloads folder and asked you to not start the cmd as administrative. Because when you dont start it as administrative, cmd will start right from the users folder and then is only a matter of writting pushd Downloads. Focus on the first part first. Otherwise you will go nowhere lol.

Okay I got into the download folder using cmd (pushd download) i tried doing adb and hitting enter after and it brought up a bunch of lines after that. I did adb devices and it shows my phone but when I do fastboot oem unlock it just hangs at waiting for devices. USB debugging is on and so is OEM unlock.
