Screwed up flashing 4.2.2

Last night I flashed a 4.2.2 zip file from one of the threads. I was rooted with TWRP only. I wiped dalvik cache and the file installed fine, then rebooted. On my home screen where the power control widget was it now says "Select a VPN profile to always remain connected to. Network traffic will only be allowed when connected". I thought WTF, so I tried to go into settings and I keep getting a FC. If I cant get into settings to enable usb debugging then I cant flash a stock image and start over. When I try to get into stock recovery I get an android guy with a red triangle and when I try to get into bootloader mode manually the screen just briefly flashes and thats its, nothing else. I think I've tried everything here....

if you made a mistake just get the old 4.2.1 rom from the official google nexus rom site and reflash; then reapply the OTA.
you don't need debugging to re-flash official roms you just need to be in fast boot.
also android guy with red triangle IS the stock recovery you need to press power then vol up to get the options.

You don't wipe anything when installing an update just flash the zip file in recovery and let it do its thing. Wiping the dalvik cache is probably what caused your problems.
Her's the thread for flashing a factory image. This will wipe your phone of all data and restore it to factory settings.

I can't follow that guide because I have no way of enabling USB debugging because everytime I go to settings I get a FC.

You don't need usb debugging. That is an unnecessary step in that guide. You just need to get into recovery from the boot loader, and pick the sideload from adb option and go from there. Granted, this is all with the stock recovery so who knows with the one you have.

USB debugging isn't required for fastboot. The guide I linked to will flash a factory image putting your phone back into the state it was when you first received it, start with Step C or just go to Step D and see if fastboot recognizes your phone (boot into fastboot, power + volume down and then plug your phone into the pc, then open a command window and type fastboot devices).

Yes you can click the build number in settings 5 times

I think you're getting that because you already have the update installed even though it was a borked installation it won't install again as it does a version check first. Did you have any nandroid backups made of the old version? First option would be to try and get back into TWRP and restore a backup. If you replaced TWRP with the stock recovery when you updated which happens by default you should be able to flash a custom recovery image in fastboot. By teh way CWM asked if I wanted to keep the custom recovery and root before the rebooting the phone to finish installing the update.

The factory image goes into your tools-platform folder, teh same folder fastboot is in, on the pc and is flashed from fastboot not from the phone. I think that's your problem

[Q] could use some help flashing a rooted+unlocked Razr M

I've done the following to my new, out-of-the-box Droid Razr M (XT907):
- Rooted it
- Unlocked the bootloader
- Installed CWM recovery
Booted into the CWM recovery mode, I cleared the memory, cache, and while trying to flash an Eclipse JellyBean custom ROM, the process failed (alas, I didn't capture the error msg, but I recall it being a bit vague). I (perhaps foolishly) rebooted using the CWM menu after this failure. Since then, the phone has been stuck in the "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" screen (scrshot attached). I'm able to enter the AP FastBoot mode using Power+VolumeDown, but trying to flash a stock ICS ROM using RSD is failing as well.
I'm kinda stuck at this point, and would highly appreciate any useful advice. The AP FastBoot screen says "Battery Low!" so I'm not really sure how much time I have. I've kept it connected to my PC via USB, but I'm not sure if that charges the battery or not.
Thanks much!

To bo clear, I'd like to take the phone from its current state to _some_ working state, whether it's by flashing a custom ROM or by unrooting it and taking it back to a factory state (assuming that's even possible), so that I can fully charge it and then make another attempt of flashing a custom ROM onto it.
Thanks!

If I were you, I would download RSD, boot the phone into Fastboot AP, and flash the 4.1.1 stock image. If you download the Razr M Utility 1.10, it will have both RSD, the motorola drivers, and the stock image. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207419
NOTE: Your battery should be at 100% for the flash according to the original post in that topic. I would leave it attached to the computer for a few hours or put it on the wall charger for a few hours before going any further.

You could also flash cm10, either would work. Cm10 would bypass the issue of undoing your custom recovery

did you mount system before you flashed?

I think the Razr M Utility 1.10 can save your phone, it flash the stock rom by fastboot, not by RSD, and it will do the work. I've try it.

Apologies for the delayed response here.
I followed these instructions, and it worked wonderfully. My phone is now restored to the stock image, so a huge thanks there!

Are you referring to my attempt at flashing the custom ROM? I don't think I mounted anything. I copied the custom ROM .zip file onto the phone's SD card, booted into the CWM recovery mode, wiped out the data, cache, and dalvik cache. I then selected the "Install zip from SD card" option followed by selecting the zip I copied earlier.
Did I miss an important step here? The instructions I followed were from an external (i.e., non xda-developers) site. I'll try to look for better instructions on this forum, but if you have a pointer handy, I'd appreciate it.
Once again, thanks for saving my phone guys. I was beginning to lose hope

ROMs aren't booting after RSD and re-root...

Hey all,
I RSD'd the other day and then re-rooted and re-unlocked the bootloader (yes, I now know it stays unlocked) and flashed CWM v6.0.1.4 recovery.
Now none of the custom ROMs will boot, though they install correctly in recovery. From CyanogenMod to Carbon to AOSP, it just sits on the boot animation... I've let it sit for up to half an hour.
I'm wiping data and cache, though CWM says E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/pretty-much every subfolder, but that doesn't seem like a big deal...
So what am I doing wrong, here, any ideas? It doesn't matter if I install the ROMs and GAPPS from external SD, right?
I RSD'd to 96.15.66, the one where I can unlock the bootloader, and the only ROM I can get to boot is Clean Rom (basically stock with tweaks of course).

are you mounting system first? never used CWM on this device, but in TWRP, they install just fine. I believe that most devs use TWRP (although, it should not make a difference).

Thanks for the reply, actually I have two cwm recovery images, and after the RSD I flashed the "wrong" one... After flashing the other, I was able to flash and boot just fine.

Hi Im not sure if Im having this exact issue but I have been having problem since I used Utility 1.20 and re-rooted and re-unlocked my phone. Every ROM I have tried has random reboot issue. Can you tell me exactly how you did it correctly?
Also I didnt understand the two recovery image concept. I was having safe strap before and had issue with stock partition and was using slot1 partition as daily rom. And I couldnt flash any other ROM. So I had to go back to stock with Utility 1.2 and start over. Right now Im having liquidsmooth ROM with CWM recovery. Still having those reboots.

what I would suggest doing is going into SS via the app (not via recovery once the phone boots up) and click the uninstall button.
then, return to stock as rik suggested.... then root, then install TWRP, then you'll be able to slap on whatever ROM you like.

Thats interesting. I dont see safe strap or the rom i was using with SS (energy rom). So then how can i erase SS and get a fresh start? I was assuming Matts Utility already did that for me and I was on a fresh start.

safestrap could still be there if uninstalled incorrectly. trying re-installing it, then uninstall it within its own app. this worked for me.

urgent! stuck on splash!

hey all,
so i am incredibly new to this scene and just recieved my s4. i was preparing to flash a ROM onto my phone, and got it rooted and installed CWM.
I forgot to download the actual ROM zip file, and went into CWM via goo manager, wiped factory/data and cache. It was only AFTER i wiped everything that i realised i didnt download the ROM zip file, so i rebooted the phone and now it is stuck on the start-up splash screen where it displays "Samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505" and will not continue :crying:
I was running on stock, and had only rooted the phone.
PLEASE i urgently need to fix this ASAP. Help!

Hi,
is there a Odin Version of the Rom you tried to flash? If yes, you could simply bring your device to download-mode and flash the Rom with Odin.
Alternatively search for a odin flashable Recovery and flash this first. Then you could boot to recovery and flash the zip of the Rom.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

i tried installing the liquid smooth rom, and from what i can see there is no odin version of the rom :\
Are you able to direct me to an Odin flashable recovery I can use?
im really stressing out about this
i'm in the process of downloading a stock firmware and will try to flash it on, but it's taking forever to download

I don't see why you can't boot again if you have only wiped the user data and cache, just press the home button for 10 seconds and see if it restarts with your reset stock firmware. Otherwise you can reboot into recovery and do the wipes again (not the option to install a new ROM), or put the ROM zip you want to flash on an SD card and then flash from the SD.
I hope this helps.

You should of made a backup with CWM. That's what it's used for also, besides flashing .zips. Always make a backup that you can restore and keep an extra copy on ur computer and/or a usb drive.

You have to use Odin to flash a stock firmware from Sammobile website. Make sure you download the correct firmware for your phone.
Dont worry, your phone isn't brick.

when i first did the wipe, i chose the option that i was going to install a new ROM. I'm now assuming that's where i made a mistake.
I did make a backup before i wiped everything onto my SD card, but now i can't even access that backup because it's saying there's nothing.
I've tried flashing a ROM onto it, but it says aborted.

Yes SORF ist right. It should boot into resetted stock firmware.
First try to copy the Rom to SD and then boot to recovery an try flashing it.
If booting to recovery doesn't work (but it should work if you just wiped user data and cache) you should try flashing new recovery with odin.
You could use Philz recovery for GT-I9505 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
Installation Instructions for installation with odin you find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39433857&postcount=4

yes i have tried that, and it says that install aborts.
Also when i re-wipe everything and then try to reboot, it says my device is missing root.
When i try to re-root, and the device reboots, it gets stuck on the intro screen again so the root doesn't actually complete installing

have you fixed it yet?

so im going to try a different ROM other than the liquid smoothe one i wanted (since it keeps saying aborted)
question: does it matter if i use ANY s4 ROM regardless of carrier? I'm from Australia and there is no specific carrier for my phone on xda

Why does it fails to install? Are there any more error messages?
Also you can try the point "Fix Permissions" under Advanced Options. This could help.

try something lite like miui - it will save you time on download and is a good solid base to work from. dont flash the lite gapps without a reboot.
for a solid Sami based rom then i suggest using GoldenEye.

though i dont like the look of this ROM lol, i prefer something a little more stock looking.
Any recommendations?
When reflashing a new ROM, what is the process i need to follow?

Cyanogenmod is themeable. So you could search for a stock like theme and install that.
If you like an overall more stock rom try scottyf79's recommendation.
If you want to flash a complete new Rom first copy zip onto sd, then boot into recovery, wipe data and cache, then falsh zip file.

Try the Omega Roms. They are close to stock.
Closest to stock are the prerooted DJembey ROMs (the CWM ones) or the Wanam Lite ROM (it's what I am on now)

personally -
i use Philz recovery
before install of a new rom - i use the "new rom" wipe option rather than the normal data,cache and dalvik wipe (it does this but adds in some extra steps)
then flash the rom of choice
if you get any other messages before reboot - select no
like i said before, if you want a stock looking Sami rom then try Golden Eye.

You sound like you really don't know what you're mate.
I think the best advice anyone can give you is to put your phone down and read some more.
If you have successfully flashed CWM then all you need to do is flash a ROM of your choice then wipe data / factory reset.
Also before you even think about flashing anything to your phone you NEED to back up your EFS partition.

Don't panic bad it's just down to the version of recovery ?
Just go back into recovery & try flashing again once you get status 7 go back & second line from bottom where you chose zip you will see "allow update old binary" tick the box if not ticked or until if it's selected then select zip to flash & it'll go straight through
