I think I bricked my NS

I was flashing CM7. This is what I did:
Rooted, ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5 from Rom Manager.
From recovery did a BackUp (seems useless because it doesn't do anything.)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Install zip from sdcard - selected cm7 - got a Status Error 7
Now the phone won't boot, stays on the Google screen, I can get into the recovery though.
Any ideas? I am downloading the Stock 2.3.3 image.
Thanks!

restore your backup.

I tried doing that from ClockworkMod, gave me an error, it was a ridiculously small file, doesn't seem like a backup.
Even the stock gives me a Status Error 7.
Any ideas?

you didnt brick, just download a a new rom, sounds like it was a bad download.. if the phone shows a screen it isnt bricked...

This is what I get. For both Stock 2.3.3 and CM7. I've tried multiple times.

right did you re download it and copy it back to the phone or just going off the rom you downloaded already? if so worst case shouldnt odin work?

I'm downloading it again. Should I rename it to update.zip? Odin, that's the software right?

I think your problem is because you are using the clockwork mod for I9020, where as for rogers you should be using clockwork for i9023 -- at least this was my case, I have i9020a rogers
you can get it from this link 2nd file.
after using this one you shouldn't be getting "E: can't mount cache" and you shall be able to repeat rooting/flashing steps.

I was feeling so, either the ROM or the recovery. I'm just flashing the recovery, thanks for your help.
Also, how do I manually install ClockworkMod?

What is your computer OS? do you have android sdk?
In general everything you need is in this post

[Q] Stuck in bootloop and nothing I tried works!

UPADTE: My nvram folder is also gone. Is there anything at all to be done? Or have I purchased a paperweight?
UPDATE: Found out its my IMEI which has disappeared during the OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.3. This happened while 100% stock. Anyway I can get it back? Or at least boot Kitkat?
So my Nexus 4 stopped working after I finally decided to update it to 4.4.2. It was stuck at the starting apps loader then shut off. I proceeded to turn it back on but it got stuck in a bootloop. I’ve tried re flashing 4.3 through fastboot. It seems to flash fine (With the added error that "x".sig was not found) but again gets stuck at a bootloop. Ive tried flashing 4.4.2 the same way (with the same added error) to the same result. I also tried adb sideloading them but it either gave me a "status 7" or "E: signature verification failed". When I tried to "Fastboot update" it gave me the error that the partition to flash it on did not exist. im stumped. Don't know what else to try. Anything?
Note:
-I am not rooted
-USB debugging is not enabled (and now I cant since it doesn’t boot to OS)
-I'm on Ubuntu 13.10
-Also got Windows
- I got the files that I tried to install from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Thanks! :good:

I had the same issue and the solution was flashing stock android by Ncry (http://goo.gl/l0iuEn). If you havent used this software, go to the one click menu with the phone on bootloader mode.
Hope this helps!

Did you try wiping cache, Dalvik, and data? Factory reset?

I did. Even tried from fastboot. What if I reinstall the system. And then apply an update from sideload?

Can you copy the list of text from the command window when you do the flash-all.bat.

Bricked my MI A1 by updating a rooted phone

Hi folks,
My phone is unlocked & rooted and it only starts showing the android logo after I updated with the official updater in the phone, the december update.
When I want to flash it with the stock rom in fastboot mode, according to this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/rom-factory-images-t3688548 ), the flasher says just"can not found file flash_all_except_storage.bat"
I have no idea what to do.
Can anybody help me?
Don't want to throw away another 200 dollars
Thank you,
Michael

Youre missing a file in the stock rom

O rly?
I extracted the stock rom now with 7zip because it was a tgz and extracted the stock rom.
Now I used the flash_all.bat but it gets stuck at 'Writing system_a'.
Maybe because of lack of space.
ADB doesn't recognize my phone. Fastboot does. Can't go into recovery mode.
Partition table seems to be ****ed up. Any ideas? :/

OK, for all people with the same problem:
I used the linux scripts on my linux system and it booted / worked perfectly.
No idea why the windows crap didn't work.
Hope to have helped you

I had a similar issue yesterday but fixed it following a couple of guides from mi forum. Basically tried mifalshtool which did not work to begin with, then tried manual flashing using CMD commands. Got stuck at writing system.img. went back to the sourcefile, unzipped it and copied the file path, then pasted in the mifalshtool. Flashed it and 'BOOM" it worked. Took about 12mins but it booted. My 8hrs of yesterday morning (IST) got screwed.

Boots only to TWRP - Need help fixing

Hi there. About a year or so ago I went about flashing my Tab but it went wrong and now all I can do is get it to boot to TWRP. Would someone be so kind as to tell me step by step what to do to get it back working? I'd prefer it to go back to stock ROM without TWRP or other 3rd party flash programs but I'll take what I can get. Help appreciated.
This is what I get when it boots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Bump.

Did you try booting to DL-mode (via adb reboot for example) and flash a stock ROM with ODIN?

I got a reply! Thank you!
No I didn't try that. To be honest I used to flash android stuff all the time but kind of having been doing much of that stuff the last few years so I don't remember how to do any of that. If you were so kind to provide me a link or walkthrough on what to do that would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks for the reply.

What was the goal when you started down the path of installing TWRP? It seems like you might have been part way there if you got that far?
There are Lineage install instructions here. <-- More importantly Odin Download if you don't already have it.
If you decide to try Lineage, the latest builds require new firmware found here. It can also be obtained by returning to stock and updating.
Anyways If you are in TWRP, in the restart menu there is an option to restart to download. If will reboot to a black screen, just hit the power button once when the screen goes off. Before you do this, you need to obtain stock firmware, from somewhere. (Sammobile or something like that) You will also need Odin, link above.
As with anything proceed at your own risk.
Once you have those files, you can extract the firmware. They will be labeled and go into those spots in Odin, AP, BL, CSC, then you should be able to hit start. I'm going from memory, as I haven't had to restore mine since I got it (and looking at the files in stock firmware file).

Idk how relevant this is anymore but I had this same issue after I install lineage 18, there's a multi-disabler zip I got awhile ago that fixes all my flashing problems related recovery loop. Just Google that zip, flash it then format and restart. That what I've done easy fix, this assumes you followed the basic steps to properly flash whatever it is you're trying to.

I warn you to wait slowly with your root without test another things.
You are not brick, you must only reinstall rom, you can always access fastboot/Bootloader
Have you tried to access to Recovery ?

Me also bricked my nothing phone 1 but it's bootloader is locked
I have only access to fastboot
When i try to boot in recovery or system it's boot into fastboot
I was trying to install dynamic system update from developer option. While phone was installing dsu phone has turned off for rebooting and never turned on again.

You also need the unbricking tool like MsmDownloadTool to flash full rom right? Having the rom file isn't enough.

You will find the latest Full Nothing OS 1.1.0 HERE
@Displax , I don't know if MsmDownloadTools is operationnal for the Phone(1) because it mainly concerns all devices produced by the BBK Electronics consortium.
I don't know if someone want to try, you will find here the link to MsmDownloadTools
