If you guys can get adb working please pull /tmp/recovery.log. I plan on getting the ATT version so I am hoping everything will work on it as well.

Doesn't seem it will be today I'll let you know as soon as I get it.
I am thinking of moving this to the development section. I think it might get more visibility but I was hoping someone would try it first to make sure it at least inits. Let me know if there are any objections.

OK, has anyone else tried? I am not sure why CWM would still be installed.
Still CWM.
I gave it a try, but it just still has CWM. I did a reboot to recovery from Terminal, but CWM just comes up.
No errors when running the command lines.
Tried again... Failed
Hi bigbiff,
I thought I would try it again, just to make sure and this time I got some error text.
So I did SU and followed the command lines as before but I got "write error: No space left on device".
Followed by: 8193+0 records in, 8192+0 records out, 4194304 bytes transferred in 0.752 secs (5577531 bytes/sec) .
I have attached a screenshot of the Terminal Emulator with the message.
It still goes to CWM recovery.
Is it possible to get this in a .tar to flash via Mobile Odin? (just a thought)
Thanks
Working... via Mobile Odin flash!!!

Hi bigbiff,
I was really determined to get this working and I managed to get it to work!!! :laugh:
I took your .img and created a .tar.md5 and flashed it via Mobile Odin, it worked like a charm! :victory:
I have attached some pics and let me know if you want the .tar.md5 and what tests you would like.
Thanks!
I finally got my Note 2. Let me know if I can test.

Gratz apascual89 for getting it working as well!
I have tested the themes and backups bothe worked for me. Also adb shell and timezone bothe worked.
Permissions fix just seems to sit there even thought it says its done.
Reboot to bootloader boots to recovery and reboot to power off just reboots.
Thanks again bigbiff.

I rooted my lg g2 just fine, installed flashify, then tried to install cm 11 with it (i did not flash a cwm or twrp personally) with cwm on flashify now it's stuck in a bootloop with the bricked android logo (android on its side with red triangle). This is my brother's phone, I messed up. Can his device be saved or should i just surrender my smartphone over to him. (this isn't behind his back he's right here). He just got this phone on monday. I shouldn't have even tried to root it. thank you

THe method works through the download mode, not recovery mode. So you should be able to save your phone. Just make sure you follow the steps carefully.

First rule of android, Always install a recovery then backup. The link he gave should fix you. Also do not use stuff like flashify. Use adb it is much safer. Especially since we have to have loki to flash stuff.
Thank you all so much for the help. I will follow that guide tomorrow after school. I was about to give up hope. I'll post updates
You should be fine. It's not that easy to brick this phone.

You'll be fine as long as you follow that post. I've used it several times (mainly just for fun and a fresh start) and it's never given me any issues going back to stock.
Should I use the method posted above our should I use this guide that was linked in the thread above ( I can't figure out how to paste the link on my moto x right now I'll do it when I can get to my computerized). The guide in referring to is in hyelton's op below the guide for the attached version
Use the link provided the second post of this thread. And make sure you download the correct rom/firmware for your device. And follow the instructions. You should be fine

Hi MattMJB0188,
just flash the zip in recovery and it will dump the needed file on your internal storage in a folder called Unbrick_files. it dumps the iomage and then zips it up.
Thank you so much!

I was trying to flash cwm touch recovery. I usually do it from cwm rom manager since I paid for it, but for some reason when I trying to flash it in rom manager, it wouldn't stick. Said it was successfully, but when I went into recovery it was still philz recovery.....sigh......that's when I attempted to terminal the command to install cwm touch recovery.

well I used it with philz last week so it should work for you and to set up adb easiest way is to download the android sdk and once it's done you go to the platform tools folder(there should be an adb.exe and fastboot.exe inside) use the shift key plus right click on your mouse and click on open a command window here and first use adb devices to see if your phone shows up, if it does type in the adb commands from the earlier link and then reboot, you should be able to boot normally, I will soon fall asleep so I might not be available for long good luck

how? please let me know
i am still stuck on here please help!!
So I've had this problem for a while and I think at one point I knew what the issue was, but things came up and I guess I lost my place. I have a GS4 running 4.3 on AT&T, but if I recall correctly it took a long time (longer than it was supposed to in US) for even that update to become available to me. I'm not sure if this phone is set as a different country or something, but I seem to think that had something to do with it when I checked last time. Now when I check for updates, it does say I have an available update (KitKat?) but fails when attempting to update. Download is successful, but install is not. Baseband is I337ucuemk2 if that helps anything. Any help here would be appreciated, thanks.
Install is failing as some of the files it is trying to update has been modified. You would have to be on stock for the update to work.
Remember that there is no direct root method for KitKat yet.

If you flash the tar in Odin it's going to wipe your device so backup what you can. You'll need to download the tar file to your pc and download Odin to it too if you don't already have it. You run Odin from the pc

So... pretty unhappy. Downloaded the update.zip and flashed in stock recovery, it wiped my whole phone and still didn't update. I saw a couple error messages appear as it was "updating" so now I'm still on old firmware and lost everything on my phone. Luckily I did a Kies backup but still pretty ridiculous. I still lose all save data from apps and all convenience that there was from using my phone for as long as I did. Just wanted to update, shouldn't be this big of a mess. Not sure what to do next.

Well that sucks. No idea how it works wipe you're device. It shouldn't touch the userdata. If it's truly wiped I'd Odin the nb1 tar at this point. Get it updated and start over

That's what I did and I'm finally updated, but pretty disappointed that it took all that just for an update. Hopefully things like that don't continue in future updates...
