Hello all!
This is my very first time rooting an android phone, an AT&T G2. I used the ioroot by cubed, and it went well, no problems at all!
The only issue that i am having is when I try to install TWRP and create a recovery image (I don't dare begin to flash my phone without this safety net).
I get to the last step, as per WACOMalt @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670.
Everything is going smoothly until the step before the exit command, the result of which is this (see attachment).
Any help with correcting this, so that I can flash 4.4 and rid myself of this stupid phantom GPS drain that has grown into an ugly beast over the course of the last 3 days??
Thanks, your help is extremely appreciated,
Sean

Hi All,
I cannot claim pure innocence here and I have most of the guilt for getting myself into this mess but I could use some help.
I bought a Pixel Qi and after 6 weeks rooted it successfully with EdenX rom.
Then, in one of my great genius moves, I updated it again with the Honeycomb Rom.
Then it bricked. That was about two weeks ago. I've been trying to fix the problem since then without success.
I have downloaded NI latest Eden 1.5 and tried twice to do this update and it seems to go through all steps successfully but ends with the same result.
The unit will not turn on and the amber light flashes.
I have to let the battery die, recharge it and then I can get into the bootloader again.
I have not done the recovery option as I wanted some advice before I went this route. I've read if the unit fails during the recovery, it is a paperweight. I really would like to get this back to life.
Any advice or ideas are most appreciated
Cheers,
Phil
You really have to work at bricking the Adam before it will actually brick. That's one of the great things about it.
What you need to do is follow the unbricking procedure which will get you flashed back to a stock ROM and should get you up and running again.
There is a good "How to" at the following link: Unbrick your Adam
Hi there,
I had been umming and arring about rooting and installing a new ROM one of my familys HTC Heroes for some time now and finally after reading lots of "How to's" on lots of different forums I decided to take the plunge and give it a go using the guide on here.
Both my wifes phone and my sons phone are sim unlocked Orange HTC Heros running 2.1-Update 1.
Rooting it was easy. One press of a button and I was there. Its pretty much worked OK and I have sucessfully made three backups of the wifes Hero.
My main query and this is the bit I have not really been able to find much info about despite spending a day trawling through the forums looking for similar queries is this:
Having flashed my recovery image file, the first time I reboot I can get into the recovery mode just fine. From here I can make a backup of the current ROM after which the Hero reboots and goes back into the OS as it should.
If I then shut it down and reboot using the HOME key + POWER option It does not go into the recovery mode. I get the screen with an image of the phone next to a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
Using the advice from various forums whilst searching for further advice / hints I have left the phone for up to half an hour but it stays on this screen. The only way to get it out of this screen it to pull the battery.
If I then boot up the phone and reflash the recovery image, I can then get into the recovery mode once again but for ONE BOOT ONLY.
I have tried AmonRA Revcovery v1.7.01. and also the Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.7 images and both produce the same results. I have tried flashing the images via ROM Manager and also via Android Terminal Emulator
My question is this: Do I have to flash the recovery image EVERY time I want to open the recovery mode or is there something I have missed? At present I have held back from installing a new ROM in case I go past a point of no return where I brick the phone. Neither my wife or son would be too pleased despite my son wanting a better ROM on his.
Apologies for writing "War and Peace" but I wanted to make sure I had covered all I could and hope this is a) not a query already posted elswhere which I have missed b)posted in the right place. Apologies to any forum mods if its not.
Regards
Rhinestone.
hmm look on the unlokr.com or something like that. They use some simple passes and it's the way i did it. the on;y difference is that my phone wasn't blocked on a carrier...
1.there is a program that roots the hero's rom
2.after that i recommend installing clockwork recovery mode (it doesn't need signed zips)
3.if you don't feel safe doing this, i recommend to stop... I know that the 2.1 rom is boring but you can end up with a bricked phone after this...
The official 2.1 update has a script that reflashes the stock recovery every time the phone is shut down.
Hunt about for a modified 2.1 rom, all of them have had that script removed. I'm not a huge fan of sense now, but when I did use it, I found villainrom to be a good 2.1 sense rom.

This, just flash a custom ROM and it will stick.
Hello,
Problem might be with rooting, possible it has not been rooted completely or anything messed up. You can try this for rooting.
http://unrevoked.com/
If you are sure its rooted completely, then check out Superuser apps, if its there, and you are rooted, if not then download terminal emulator and type "su" command, if its doesnt display any error then its rooted.
Other then this,
problem might be with the recovery images you are flashing, download droid explorer its a window application, its has an option of flashing recovery with one click, simply choose recovery image & flash it, clockmod recovery or amonr any of this you can get in xda.
Hello all,
Today I read a lot of posts here about rooting my phone because I was done with the stock UI.
I went for it and now I think I made a mistake, I would like your help. I read some similair posts, but I cant find a true solution for my problem.
My goal is to run CM 11, I have a stock LG 802 config with 4.2.2.
My steps were as followed:
- I used towelroot v3 wich was succesful
- I installed and ran D802 autorec (wich i guess was a bad idea). I got to recovery mode and I wanted to back up first.
- I made a back up of boot and system
- After the back up, I had to reboot
- NOW its stuck in a boot sequence to nothing. Just a light green and blue. I get the logo and I can get in the stock recovery it seems. Should I reset to factory settings?? Is that data still present?
I hope I can go from there, but after my major fail Im afraid to try it.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Update
I can get into download mode and LG Support Tool finds a phone, but the specs do not match and the update states that there is not any update available, wich there is.
When I get into recovery mode I can get into TWRP and I should be able to continu the process with flashing and wiping. The CM mod and Gapps are already on the internal memory. But I am really afraid.
For the record I did not flash or wipe anything yet, except for running Autorec and rebooting after prompt.
The real question for me is (I guess), is Autorec really unsupported with 4.2.2?
I would like to go on with the process, but I also would like to go back stock if needed in the future (hence the recovery back up I made with TWRP before the bootloop.)
Thanks again for any help what so ever
Hello guys, it's time to post new thread. I bricked my G2 really hard. And I'm very pissed of TWRP. So lets explain i was on stock lollipop (pretty nice seen it for last time)... When i decided to go back to CM12 . I had root and twrp and a nice backup of my CM12 system. Everything cool... I started restoring my system again everything was fine until i booted. It showed secure booting error. However i followed this giude. I fond the needed files from Lollipop. All 4 files and TWRP. I installed ubuntu and started doing the job. After flashing everything was looking good until i started the device it showed this white screen giving this errors. On PC it's recognized as LG Modem... I can realize it's really fuc*ed up, but i would like any help. I don't find necessary to say that i need help very fast because you know the battery is going to drain soon. So please help me. Thanks.
Hello everyone! I'm brand new to the forums so if I am breaking any rule or regulation, just give me a heads up. So, some basic information about my predicament.
- own a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon.
- I use t-mobile network. Works great with no problems.
- phone was successfully rooted via towel root.
I was looking to get cynagenmod on the phone so I started looking up guides and such. Only thing I wasn't aware of was that carrier branded versions can't have their recovery flashed. That said, I used flashify and the clockwork apk. The app did its job, killed the stock recovery, but couldn't load the new one. Now the phone says error, no recovery when trying to access it during boot.
It should be said that the phone still boots and works normally but I really want to get the recovery working so I can at least try again the right way to get cynagenmod working.
My question is, is it possible to get my hands on the stock recovery for my phone and just flash it back to how it was? Basically, how do I fix this problem I put myself in. Of course, I didn't make backups. During the whole process, I figured "if I follow this tutorial word for word, why bother with backups?" look how wrong I was
Any help would be sincerely appreciated. I'm posting this from my replacement phone, not my note 3.
