Hi all. I have a htc wildfire, rooted with a custom rom. On the bus today I turned my phone off and then back on but it is constantly reboots after the initial screen (telstra logo because I am from Australia).
I can get into HBOOT but not recovery anymore (I used to be able too), it just repeats the same loop process. I've tried with/without the SD card present, and clearing storage through HBOOT.
Is there another way to flash or fix this? I'm fairly new at posting so sorry if this is in the wrong section, it's a tad urgent.
Thanks
Try flashing clockworkmod recovery again using unrevoked
Woudn't I have to have the phone on to be able to flash with unrevoked again?
If not, how would I go about doing it?
Thanks.

Hi Maxcima,
Are you able to see anything via adb at all?
for example if you can connect to the device via adb, if you run:
adb logcat
can you see anything that could give us a clue to what's causing your issue?

I have setup adb and it is all working. However since I cannot boot into my device (constantly loops), adb continues to say "waiting for device..."
Is there a way to flash clockwork mod recovery some other way? Or to flash the device in the HBOOT environment?

I made stupid mistake by updating my TPT to ICS by CWR, now I can not get in CWR and system anymore. What should I do?
How do I get my CWR back?
Can you still see the device in ADB shell? I'm not but I would search some of the ICS update threads in this section, I think someone else did what you did.

Thank you for your reply.
I will try to find the answer then.

You should be able to access the recovery via adb, and push file to the system, but be careful read up on it before do it it will save you later.

You maybe use APX/NVFlash Mode, It is a micro code than in NVIDIA Tegra CPU ROM,
1. connect use micro USB line to computer,
2. Press POWER and Screen rotation lock togther,
3. a new device "APX Device" is apper at Device management
4. Update APX Driver
5. Use nvflash command line write booloader(Lenovo, ClockWorkMod,etc)
you can find a thread at 51nb forum
i'm curious if this got resolved.
I'm in the same predicament and trying to use the apx nvflash utility without any luck
After losing recovery and root on my tpt, I spent hours trying to fix it with no success. I had no recovery, no adb shell, and no root access so I couldn't change anything. I couldn't use nvflash(locked bootloader--that was my last resort). Ended up sending it to Lenovo and it supposed to be in process of getting repaired now
Hi,
I broke my Nexus 4 screen so I can't do anything, the touchscreen is completely down. But the display is working.
I have bought a new Nexus 4 and I want to get my photos from the broken device. The problem is that I can't unlock the phone (pattern), so I can't access to these. USB debugging is off and the device isn't rooted.
I hope someone have a solution for me. Does any virtual touchscreen exist ?

Not sure if adb works with usb debugging disabled though...
That has to be the Worst case scenario. Another reason I use Google drive and keep pics synced via cloud
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It's really annoying, I just need to unlock my phone but I can't !
I'm not comfortable with the idea having my pics on Google's servers, but I will find something to backup data now..
Maybe the only way is to wait the nexus to be obsolete and find a screen for a low price
Oh wait !
USB debugging is ON ! I didn't see the bean icon because there are a lot of notifications.
But I can't use adb :
$ adb shell
error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.

I'm assuming that because your phone isn't rooted you don't have a custom recovery or an unlocked bootloader. Is this correct?
i know with my HTC desire i run adb, when the device is turned off and connected to PC .
i think you can try it with your N4 , there are tools to do it google it .
good luck
You can try some combination of Airdroid (older version) and adb/shell command. So you'll need your device connected and older version of Airdroid - not two, because it asks for user action to accept the connection, and the older one just gives random generated password for the user to input in their browsers.
Now, you'll need to push the apk on your phone, and then just start it from your adb shell with the following command:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.sand.airdroid/.Splash - this should work on the old version
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.sand.airdroid/.SplashActivity_ this works on last airdroid
At least you can try with other app that doesn't need user interaction on their display to get into the phone memory from their browsers. You can just install them from play store.
The first time that I'm writing here in Nexus forum though I am here with my 2 old DHD for about 2 years and I hope my answer could be helpful. And now I am here because of my soon to come Nexus 4
You could try to unlock, flash CWM then "adb pull" the files from there. No need for the digitizer to get it done. Fully charge the battery before starting.
You don't need root access, just adb debugging.
For everything off your phone: adb pull /sdcard/
Done.
EDIT: If you just want your pics from your camera the command would be adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camera/

You don't need root to use adb.
You only need to for adb to access anything beyond the sdcard.
When you first use adb there is a pop up on the device that asks if you want to allow the pc access.
He can't use the touchscreen to confirm its ok. This is the reason after I flash a Rom hook up to my pc ASAP and have it remember my computer to allow me access if this were to happen to me.

HUGE reason why this won't work:
unlocking the bootloader wipes the entire device.
Which... is pointless if you're trying to recover data.

If you flash the custom recovery immediately after unlocking (without rebooting into android in between) your data should not get wiped.
Well then... I sit here humbly corrected.

Dont worry, its not really an officially documented thing...more of just a bug with the bootloader.
Also if flashing your phone makes you nervous you could try to pull from in stock recovery but I don't know if it will work. Never played with stock recovery, it dose not last on my phone for very long.

Hi all,
As mentioned in the title, an update from LG came for my 802 and suddenly, it booted and entered TWRP.
Now, it always goes back to TWRP. Anyone knows how I can solve this or boot normally again?
Thx,

TWRP, that's the problem.

Use the terminal command if you can't use ADB... might work?
That's what I did, because AT&T stops giving you the option to not update after a couple times, and then I got stuck like you.

i did use the terminal and got into the boot loop.
Cannot perform any operation trough command because it gives me an error saying that the adb shell is error closed.

Guys,
I finnaly managed to have my device working.
Trough ADB shell and then trough ADB I was able to copy a downloaded ROM (FLEX rom) to the device and installed it.
After a couple of hours, all is OK.

Hi Guys,
This is my first message in this forum even if I read so many useful stuff here in the last few years. So first of all thanks for the many useful tips
Now I am facing a problem that probably is prohibitive even for you gurus.
This morning I broke the screen of my nexus 4, I can still boot it and the os seems to work fine. Unfortunately the touch screen is totally gone and I am not able to unlock the security pattern and access the phone. The phone is stock and not rooted.
I would like to retrieve all the data stored in the phone and access some app, so I tought I could use [email protected] Unfortunately adb tool says: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog in your device.
Of course I can't access any confirmation dialog since the touch screen is not working. Then I tought I could go in recovery mode and do something but when I reboot in bootloader and then go into recovery mode I only see the green android and a message that sounds like "no command".
What can I do? The best option would be to unlock adb and take control of the device trough [email protected] Do you guys thinks it is possible?
Just a quick update: I was able to access the recovery mode but I can't find my device in adb devices list

Do you have USB debugging enabled? Is you bootloader locked or unlocked? If you boot into the bootloader, try using the command "fastboot devices" instead. You can only access adb from recovery with a custom recovery like TWRP.

USB debugging should be available but if I try to use adb while the phone is turned on I get the "unathorized" message.
What should I do after I used command "fastboot devices"? I only see: "deviceidnumber" fastboot
In the bootloader menu I see "LOCK STATE - unlocked, SECURE NOOT- enabled"
What should I do then?
Thanks for your help!

I was able to flash a custom recovery! It is the clockwork 6.0.4.7.
Now when I am inside the clockwork and I run "adb devices" I get "unauthorized". Is there a way to authorize adb through the recovery mode?

Try TWRP instead of CWM. I think that will work. If it doesn't I at least know that TWRP will give you access to your sdcard so you at least can copy what's on there.

Oh, heh, forgot about that. Lol. Umm, don't think so unfortunately. But I don't think you actually need to touch anything. Just boot into TWRP and plug it into the computer. I might be wrong about ADB working with it though. But I'm sure you will be able to access your sdcard. Or can you access your sdcard when booting normally without entering your pattern? If so then that part is useless [emoji14]

I'm not sure... Bit i think you should be able to get your data from the phone via adb without an app. I was originally going to suggest using the command "adb backup" but it seems like you have to allow that from your phone which you need your screen to do. You could try it when you are booted in TWRP maybe it won't need confirmation then? No idea. The command and it's various settings are detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351. I honestly forgot about the app and just thought about how to get adb working... Sorry [emoji14]

Hello... What happened to your phone? Maybe it's yet time to fix your bootloop. Since you have access to recovery, it's not totally dead...
I guess you have the stock recovery?
Boot into recovery and select: apply update from ADB. From here, see if your device is recognized: ADB devices. Maybe you can try to pull your files from here. I'm not sure it will works, but worth to try!
Good luck...

BLOD is usually indicated when you have no recovery mode. Is your bootloader unlocked? Even if you are locked you can still apply an OTA and maybe fix your phone. Side loading an OTA will not wipe your data but may help recover your phone.
