Recovery from a bad TPT Flash - Blade General

Hi, before we start
I tried TPT helper on my 2nd Gen blade because the only rom that I can get to install without an error "error in /sd/romname.zip (status 7)" was "fish & chips" and I'd like to be using 4.0. I was using the n00b guide (now I've realised it's the wrong one guide to be using as I am already 2nd Gen and the error must be due to something else) and think I flashed the wrong zip with TPT helper and now only get the android logo on boot.
So here's how I broke my phone...
I opened TPT helper and clicked the all in one option and chose SF2-v1c.zip
Then I chose start TPT
I only get the android logo on boot.
* I cant pass the android logo
* I can load cm recovery
* I can't install any other roms with out an error (status 7)
* I can still install fish+chips but the status bar does not move then it says "install complete" but doesnt pass the android logo
Any help much appreciated
(I'd also like to move this to the general section but cant)

[Q] Radio update - rebooted to static picture

Hi
I have recently had my HTC Wildfire rooted after the fantastic AlpharevX contribution.
I've played around with different ROMs, and since I experienced problems with GPS in CM 7.1 RC1, I decided to go for a Radio update.
I have CWM recovery 3.2.0.0, which according to this general Wildfire thread is not compatible with flashing the current radio versions.
I therefore downloaded the Radio zip-file, copied it to my SD root dir and started ROM Manager and selected update ROM from SD card.
I checked "Backup current ROM" and "Wipe Dalvik cache" and pressed OK to the different dialog boxes.
It then rebooted to a black screen with the little green Android and a warning sign with an exclamation mark in it.
It has just stayed there for more than 10 minutes now.
I read somewhere that flashing radio can be riscy, and also that one must have patience and not interrupt anything. Therefore I haven't dared touching it without seeking advice...
What should I do? Am I supposed to press anything to continue, or should I try to turn it off (either using power button or by battery removal)?
Kind regards, Martin
UPDATE: I lost patience and decided to click on the different buttons. By clicking the power button, it displayed that I had entered CWM Recovery 3.2.0.0 and the log states:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (Invalid argument)
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I have just rebooted for now... Is it somehow possible to have two different CWM Recovery versions installed, such that I can boot directly into 3.2.0.0 and maybe enter 2.5.x.x. from ROM Manager?
you must flash clockworkmod recovery in rom manager then click run in recovery mode (second option) in rom manager then phone will reboot and got temporary CWM 2.5.0.7 and you can flash radio in this version

Thanks a lot...
I just updated the radio.
Now I also now how to flash Froyo custom ROMS. CWM 3.2 only allowed me to flash Gingerbread ROMs.
moderator pls close thread problem solved
Hi since we are at it, I also have a question about radios...
My Bluetooth used to work just fine on my htc stock ROM before switching to CM 7.0.3, I could both send and receive files from my mac.... well the thing is I can only receive them now, I can't get my wildfire to send anything to my mac! (already tried the app from the market, I think it's called Bluetooth File Transfer)
Anyway do you think a radio upgrade or in my case downgrade could fix this? I currently have 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10.

[Q] Please help! Problem flashing ROM

Hi,
I am pretty new in this. Tried to flash my HD2 to an Android ROM today, but got stuck on the installation part from SD (install ZIP from SD).
When the HD2 is booting I get the CWM-based Recovery screen V4.0.1.4
When I select "install ZIP from sdcard" i select the ZIP on the sdcard.
Install starts and i get the screen "Have fun with DUNGPHP's ROMS"
Processing system, please wait. After a while the installation is automatically aborted with the errormessage:
E:Error in /sdcard/DHD_3.06.405.1_Sense_3.0_v1.3_EU.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
What is going wrong?
The steps I followed:
1. I flashed the cLK loader and Recovery
2. I installed the google usb driver on my pc to connect to phone
3. I did run fast_resize.bat from cLK folder
4. I did run fastboot_install_recory.bat from the cLK folder
5. I followed the installationsteps on my phone for installing the ROM.
Before all this I did flash the latest HSPL and Radio.
What I noticed, is when i boot the device and get the cLK screen (with options boot recovery, boot sboot etc.) i see in the header "RADIO-UNKNOWN" allthough i flashed Radio 2.15.50.14.
What can be wrong? Hope someone can help me..please
Thanks!
Regards,
Edwin

id try redownload the file again.
Also, you didnt use magldr to copy the file to sd did you? it doesnt handle large files well. Either use cwm sd transfer or use a card reader.
I've tried 2 ROM's, both with the same error.
I also copied the ROM's (ZIP) on the SD directly with my laptops SD-slot.
Any clue what can be wrong?
Edwin
Tried more things. I used several SD cards, results are all the same, error during installation.
I tried to install 2 ROM's:
- Desire_S_sense3.5_Android.2.3.4_v1.3_EU.zip
- DHD_3.06.405.1_Sense_3.0_v1.3_EU.zip
Both ROM's gave the same error during installation "error in ZIP", and on both my SD cards.
I downloaded a different ROM, CMYLXGOs.Stock.Desire.HD.v1.0.7n.NAND.RMNET.NO-SQUASH-MDJ.S10.4OC_CWM.zip.
That one was installed successful. But after rebooting system, the recovery mode was still coming up.Selecting normal boot gave an error, there was no loader.
I am really stuck now, hope someone can help me.
Edwin
Man try doing a hard restore I think something went wrong in your process of installing cwr not in your process of installing rom . Install cwr again and than try again. It should work !!!
Click thanks if I helped you.

Can someone please help ?

BUT I CAN'T GET ADB TO RECOGNIZE MY PHONE.

update your recovery.
Where did you get the rom and what did you edit in it?
also I would suggest wiping system when you flash new roms, not just data/caches

[HOW-TO] Updating Nook HD+ Internal EMMC from CM11 to LN14.1

Caveat emptor: adopt/follow this guide at your own risk.
Below is a procedure that can be used to update your HD+ EMMC to LN14.1 from CM11 (if your HD+ is currently running stock ROM, use the process described at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-installing-ln14-1-internally-hd-t3562810/).
Download the following files to a location in your user content-media storage space on the HD+:
amaces' flashable TWRP zip file, e.g., twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip ( https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778)
amaces' flashable LN14.1 ROM zip file, e.g., lnos_ovation-ota-NMF26Q.170104.zip from https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/1/3332706778
the flashable zip file of the Gapps pico package open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-2017[mmdd].zip from http://opengapps.org/
Boot into your current EMMC recovery.
Select install zip and install the TWRP recovery zip file obtained in step 1(a).
Power off the Nook.
Boot into the new TWRP recovery flashed in the step 3 (press and hold the Home button, then press and hold the Power button until after the CyanoBoot Universal Bootloader screen comes on, then release both buttons).
Select wipe /data & factory reset.
Select install zip and install the LN14.1 zip file.
Select install zip and install the Gapps zip file.
Reboot into the new LN14.1.
Once the Nook completes the boot (be patient as it takes quite a bit of time), set up the Wifi connectivity and your Google account info. Note that the Apps you previously have on CM11 will not be auto-downloaded/restored into your new LN14.1.
If you run into problems during initial setup:
- absence of WiFi network setup step: see this post
- setup process crashes (as have been reported with some combos of ROM and GApps build versions): retry the clean install process with the sequence of steps # 6, #7 & #9 (i.e., skipping over step #8 flashing GApps) and complete the initial setup, then reboot into TWRP to flash GApps; see also https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72104906&postcount=37 for solution for other setup crash causes.
To enable "Root", see https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72185622&postcount=1915.
Notes
If you encounter errors in step 3 (using your existing CWM recovery to flash the new TWRP zip file):
- If you have a SD card handy, consider using the procedure described at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/general/how-to-installing-ln14-1-internally-hd-t3562810.
- Otherwise, you can try to flash the flashable TWRP zip file available at http://www.mediafire.com/file/3gj4g9j1x363dor/cwm-flashable_twrp-3.0.1-0-ovation.zip.
Please post any comment/question on the features or performance of AOSP & LN ROM builds on the Developer's thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-hd/development/marshmallow-nook-hd-hd-t3239269.

Have you tried flashing TWRP through their official app? I think I also had trouble trying to flash TWRP through CWM, but the app worked at the time.
You could also flash internal TWRP through Amaces's multi mode bootable SD recovery. It does mean you'd need to setup a spare SD card for it, but it can be good to have handy anyway [emoji6]

I can't tell why the update script doesn't identify your device as "ovation".

Thanks guys!
I just ended up using the SD card procedure. TWRP app failed as well. CM11 was slowing to a crawl on the NookHD+ so hopefully Lineage will give it new life!
error 20 on gapps (you don't have Android 7)
Hi, had CM11 on my HD+ for over a year. Unfortunately I left it on til battery completely discharged the other night, and even after charging to 100%, it would only go in a boot loop. (cyanogenmod bootloader, then robot face, then cyanogenmod bootloader again, then robot face again, etc, nonstop). So I thought, why not wipe it and put Lineage on?
So first following the link from this thread, for doing a from scratch install (not the link for if you have CM11 since it wasn't even booting for me, so assuming corrupt),
I got to the point of installing TWRP, and it failed with a zip signature verification error. So okay, I uncheck that verification box, and it appeared to install okay. Onto the lnos zip file. As a precaution, I also unchecked the verification box (thinking it might fail like the TWRP install), and besides a couple messages about "E: unknown command [LOG] " which I ignored (from what I read online can be safely ignored?) , and it took a good while (10 or more minutes? didn't time it) and says "script succeeded: result was [10000000] ,updating partition details, ....done" So I assumed it installed? Then tried installing open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170329.zip, and it fails with "This GApps pkg is for Android 7.1.X only. Please download the correct version for your ROM: 4.4.4.(SDK 19) GApps installation failed No changes were made to your device. Installer will now exit Error Code: 20" and install failed basically. So I reboot and what do you know I still see the CM boot loop going on. Does this mean the old CM11 OS is still installed? Or just a bootloader? And if I press "N" I see TWRP as an option, as well as CM (legacy) So I boot to TWRP and go to Wipe, but this time, do Advanced, and select to wipe all items except external SD. Restart, and same CM boot loop is going on. (I had done the basic Wipe before that)
So something isn't right here, or I'm missing some steps? Any help please?

YES I tried both procedures. In fact I tried that link you have for "installing new" procedure first But it failed on the Gapps part. And like I said the previous CM11 (at least boot part) seems corrupt as its stuck in a boot loop. So ideally if it's not riskier, I was attempting to wipe off the old system. (unless by checking all the boxes except SD, under Wipe, Advanced, I did accomplish that? and just the boot/bootloader portion remains?

It appears that the old CM11 ROM is still there, the "... succeed ... " message notwithstanding.
The problem behavior seems to be pointing to the possibility that your EMMC is hosed (not readable/writeable). You can test this by trying to re-install stock ROM (see #6 of https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613).

You should never need to wipe anything other than /data and /cache (/system typically gets wiped automatically (aka reformatted) as part of the process of flashing a new ROM version).

I downloaded the stock rom zip , put it on sdcard, booted to TWRP, didn't do any Wipe but clicked Install, chose that zip, unchecked zip signature verification, swiped to start it, get:
"Failed to retouch '/system/lib/libemoji.so'.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/NookHDplus-stock-2.1.1.-rooted.zip'

So, any hope for my HD+ ? If eMMC IS hosed as you mention, what causes this? And are there any tricks to UN-Hose it? Or is it now a useless dead tablet? Why would my battery going to zero screw things up so badly?

If your EMMC is dead, you can try to run CM11 entirely off an SD card -- see https://iamafanof.wordpress.com/201...-4-4-4-for-bricked-no-emmc-nook-hd-04nov2014/.

That "tool" for unbricking the NT also boots and runs off a SD card.
While it never reliably booted to the cm11 OS on the sdcard, it's been booting okay lately to recovery at least Twrp maybe even cwm , so assuming I can boot to those , again,does that repair option for NT also work for HD+?

The NT unbricking tool only works for the NT.
Assuming your EMMC is not dead, and its factory-installed partition structure is not corrupted or altered, you can accomplish the same end-goal as the NT tool does by re-flashing to stock ROM using the files linked in the post I had referenced in my earlier reply.

Thank you but again , i tried that already and it failed, which is why I was asking if any of those procedures in the links I posted would work, which u already indicated the NT one wouldn't. I've seen various other xda posts talking about either ADB or partitioning or formatting commands. Was just hoping this HD+ wasn't dead and that I could somehow hack this back to life instead of chucking it in the trash....

The stock rom you tried to install was the rooted version that I customized. Try a plain stock rom from that same thread. Try an older version. That error was a common one for some devices.

Will this guide also work on the Nook HD? (Using the equivalent Hummingbird files, of course).
