I cant use the WWE Flashes, im getting error 140!

Okay, so you can boot into recovery right ? Is it original recovery image or modded recovery image ?
I faced the same problem last night, but I was in modded recovery image.

I am using mainfram3's modded recovery. I can boot into recovery

Good.
I am going to assume that you have also flashed a custom boot image. If not reply back and I shall let you know how.
Follow these steps, and you may just be able to get back your phone from the dead.
1. download the custom rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643368
2. once your phone gets to recovery mode, you can use the adb commands. So, get to recovery mode.
3. do "adb shell"
4. Inside the shell, do mount /sdcard
5. exit the shell.
6. the rom you have downloaded now needs to be send to the sdcard. Use the command adb push <the rom you downloaded.zip> /sdcard/update.zip
7. Once the adb push command completes, press the home and call end buttons. You will get a menu.
8. choose "apply update from sdcard"
9. Once the update completes, execute the command adb reboot.
10. The phone will reboot and spring back to life.
Note that these steps worked for me and there is no guarantee that it would work for you. I can hope that it works for you !!
Shyam

THANK YOU!!!
I dont believe it!!

Cool. So it did work.
The other kick-a** part is that you now have root and a custom rom to boot ;-)

hi shyam....
i wanna ask you one question, can you guide me on how to install custom recovery image from mainfram3 please....
i really wanna learn things but i dont know how to do it.... please help me...

If you don't do a GoldCard, your tattoo is dead.

That's the problem. Since I cannot use adb (device not found), I cannot get the CID to create the goldcard. Any clues?

If you can get access to someone else's phone to get the SD card's CID, you can make a goldcard, but otherwise you are SOL.

I've been able to create a goldcard following the instructions on this site (I've been able to get the microSD CID using windows mobile and QMAT, it has an option to read the CID from a WinCE phone that is connected with activesync), but no look so far. When I try to apply the update.zip file in the SD card, it says that the signature is missing and that the verification has failed.
Any ideas?

Got it to start uploading the ROM, but if fails with error 131 (invalid CID)

Sucess!! My phone is back from the dead! I've been able (at last) to create a goldcard using a win mobile phone (Touch) and QMAT. Here're the steps if anyone needs to create a goldcard when your android phone is bricked, but you have a win mobile phone available:
1- Insert the microSD card in the win mobile phone and power it up (the one that came with the Tattoo works fine)
2- Connect the win mobile phone to your computer. ActiveSync must be installed and working
3- Start QMAT and select "Hardware Forensics->WINCE SD Card Utils"
4- Hit the "Get SD Serial and Disk ID" button.
5- Copy (or write down) the serial you get in the "SD Card Serial" box. Close QMAT and remove the microSD card from the win mobile phone (at this point, you don't need the win mobile phone anymore)
6- NO NEED TO REVERSE THE SERIAL!!! This is what I was doing wrong.
7. Go to "http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html" and enter the serial number you got from QMAT and fill out all the required fields
8- Wait for the goldcard image to arrive to your e-mail
9- Follow the instructions to copy (in other posts) the goldcard image to the microSD card using a hex editor
10- Insert the microSD card in your bricked phone connect it to your computer and press vol down and power at the same time. Choose fastboot from the menu (back button)
11- Launch the RUU program from your computer (RUU_Click_HTC_WWE_1.67.405.6_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver) works fine
12- Follow the instructions on the screen. Your phone should be back from the dead

Hello.i had bricked my tattoo and i tried to flash it but i got error 131 same as u did.here is the funny thing i have a friend that has a touch so i will try to do the same thing that you did,i read your post,but i get stuck at nr.9 where i have to copy the gold card and but i don't manage . can u give me please some instructions how to copy gold card using hex.thank you, i hope hearing from you soon.bye

Move .zip to SD Card via FASTBOOT?

I have a non-running phone right now (only thing that works is FASTBOOT & Clockwork)
I downloaded streakdroid 1.5.1 no problem to my COMPUTER...
Question: How do I get that file to my phone so that I can use clockwork???
I appreciate any help on this.

http://www.google.com/search?source...l=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=fca90e9507624f80&pf=p&pdl=300

Well, you can try putting your SD card in for example another phone, digital camera or something similar..
Stupid me...
You can mount SD card via clockwork!!
Yust go to mounts and there is option to mount an SD card, and than connect the Streak to the PC and it will be recognized as Removable media
edit:
if that doesn't work, flash via fastboot new recovery from mistamadman here in this forum offcourse.. There must be an option in his recovery

not sure why this is posted to development...
but:
If you can get into Recovery you can mount your SD card to your computer via USB. Then transfer the file over that way and install ZIP from SD. Your Fastboot update method is incorrect.
I just verified with StreakMod recovery that you can in fact "mount sd card via PC" under the advanced menu.
So, if you are able to fastboot, flash StreakMod recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
Unzip and flash with: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Reboot with: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Hold down the keys "volume up" and "volume down" simultaneously while rebooting.
Select "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
At the Dell Logo press the power button and you will be presented with the Recovery Menu

Hi
Im stuck in a horrible situation here,
I have been running clean rom on nexus for the past couple of days and decided to try another rom but i went into cmw mode and formated data and system and now i can boot my nexus or run cmw ??
Nexus root kit says im not in ADB mode and need to set nexus in debugging mode ARRRRGHHHHHH i cant because i cant load into JB ??
Help please anyone
Paul

Plug you tablet into the usb port on the computer..
hold the down vol key then hold the power key
Sometimes it takes a few times to get this to work .It should take you to the boot-loader screen . Use the vol + vol - key and scroll to where it says reboot boot-loader . or just boot-loader hit the power key..
you should now be able to get into cwm with the above and select recovery.. If that fails try below.. But much better tutorial on the programs thread ..
when you come back to the boot-loader screen you should see device found on your computer. Start the nexus root tool kit.. Go to advance and flash recovery partion back to cwm or twrp.. then flash custom rom..
silly guy you deleted the rom you were going to flash..
now you can also at where you get flash recovery . FLASH TWRP 2.2.2 I THINK (LATEST ..
PUT a rom on a flash drive .. using otg cable boot into TWRP AND You can flash the rom from otg storage..
hope this helps For some reason this device will hand with cwm without a usb cable connected to something powered.. can be another cell cable tv box your tv or anything .. Computer of course

I can load CMW now but its no use as i havent got a zip rom on the sdcard now grrrr

Thanks for your help but not getting anywhere, think it maybe the end of this tab !!!

use the nexus tool.. to do the stock rom / unroot .. It will ask of your tablet can boot.. Select no..
it will boot you into fast boot and put a image back on your tablet....
You poor guy .. I think you need a hug...

OK i will write you a little guide to get you going again
This is pretty much what the scripts do, but you will be doing it by hand (always good to know what to do in case of emergency)
if you have the red triangle then you havnt flashed CWM, you are only booting it
1. Download the recovery.zip attached below
2. extract it to the root of your C: drive
3. open a command prompt (cmd) and CD to the directory
Code:
C:
cd recovery
4. rename your downloaded rom to rom.zip (for simplicity) and copy it into the recovery folder you extracted
there should now be 6 files in the folder
Code:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
recovery.img
rom.zip
5. boot your phone into bootloader (power & volume)
plug N7 into PC
6. in your cmd window type
Code:
fastboot devices
(to make sure your N7 is detected)
you should see something like
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (BOOTLOADER)
7. type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
about 20seconds and you should now be booted into Clockwork Mod
8. go to mounts & storage and click on mount /data (not sure if this is neccessary but do it anyway)
9. make sure your phone is detected in recovery by typing
Code:
adb devices
your should see
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (RECOVERY)
10.back to your cmd window and do
Code:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
this will take a while to do (probably about 5 mins)
11. Once complete you can install the rom as usual in CWM

I did this once while setting up my dads n7. I wrongly assumed that cwr had USB storage mount as an option so I didn't copy the ROM over.
The best option for those in this situation without much hassle is to use the all in one toolkit to download and install stock ROM from fast boot. It will download stock image onto your PC and then flash it from fast boot. It will also reflash stock recovery.

I have had that android with red triangle twice. Believe me youre nexus is far from over. Just used the toolkit and flashed stock. Problem solved. When i used it there was an option that says...device on or cant boot up. So i just selected cant boot up. Put the device in bootloader and thats it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

that is correct, you cant mount usb storage, but you can quite easily adb push files from your pc to your /sdcard/ partition then just install them in CWM
i just got my N7 this afternoon, checked for defects, hastily download ParanoidAndroid N70000 (not realising that N70000 is the Galaxy note)
unlocked bootloader, flashed CWM
wiped System/Data then tried installing new rom only to realise that it wont install and because i have wiped system i have no android
easiest way for me was by downloading correct rom
adb push newrom.zip /sdcard/
then when you go to install my new rom is now on internal memory

Any working CWM

I`m searching for a working CWM for Xiaomi MI2S . I found the one by M1CHA but i get an error when i try to install it (update.zip method).

Try these fastboot drivers, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
power off, press Vol- and Power On, you are in fastboot
then
open a terminal in the fastboot folder, paste here the CWM recovery and
"fastboot erase recovery"
"fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img "
without quotes, and if you want to check if the device responds before the aboves, try fastboot devices, and check if it is listed there.

i managed to install it with update.zip, i had miui v6 special edition and i think it didn`t work because of that.

How did you manage to do that? Whenever I try to install the cwm recovery with update.zip method I got an error message? Have you used a particular cwm recovery? Thanks!
