[Q] Stuck on System recovery (which doesn't work))

Hello to all of you!
My Tattoo has gone crazy lately...he deleted all my contacts, pictures and reset the settings...all when I switched it off and then turned it on. Ok I survived...
But yesterday when I turned my Tattoo on...he was stuck on the Tattoo screen and it was restarting itself on and on again...with no luck...then I pressed the buttons for hard reset, then the picture of the yellow exclamation mark appeared, and now I'm stuck with this Android System Recovery-which it's not working, I can't select anything, none of the buttons works...What Can I DO???? I have never made no changes to my tattoo, so it's not rooted or anything.
the system recovery says:
Android System Recovery
Use trackball to highlight;
click to select.
reboot system now [Home+back]
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
___________________
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Could someone tell me what to do now...please

Please someone?? I really don't know what to do!! I need my phone! PLEASE

Try downloading stock ROM from here http://htcpedia.com/official_rom_htc_wwe_for_htc_click_tatoo/soft/htc-tattoo-rom/download.html
Then try installing this ROM from Windows...I thing that you need to have htc sync also...

Thank you for helping me, I really appreciate it.
But that's the problem, my pc won't recognize the phone, I have installed the htc sync but when I insert the phone from usb nothing happens. and i can't go into the phone to check if usb debug is on or off. I also tried with adb but it says device not found....so I think there's nothing I can do...

Can you see some of these options? Did you try to download some of custom ROM and rename it to update.zip and then put it in root of sdcard and apply it? Im little confused with this....

Yes I see all of these options, but the problem is I can't select them or anything because none of te buttons work! I tried to put the ROM on the root of the sd card, but it make no sense because I cant select the option apply update.

Try Power+Home button (that is for recovery menu, but if your tattoo isnt rooted you should see only triangle with exclamation sign inside), then plug usb cable and then try installing stock ROM from post above...

With power+home button I see the recovery menu...it's just that nothing work in the recovery menu. I tried plugging the usb...the PC won't recognize it.
I told you I tried everything... I guess it's a hopless case

What about this?
To reset the phone using phone buttons
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the HOME and BACK buttons, and then briefly press the END CALL/POWER button.
2. Press the ENTER button to begin the reset process.
Tip If your phone hangs or freezes, remove the battery then wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
This one is the same but has a pic of tattoo...
http://www.howtoreset.com/HTC_Units/HTC_Tattoo_Hard_Reset_Soft_Reset.html

ha...this was my first try...unsuccsessful...it's like he can't do nothing else-just showing the triangle with exclamation mark and if I press home and power goes into recovery which doesn't work....that's all he can do..

F*uck i'm all out of ideas...

Yeah...don't tell me...

Here is what you can do:
After you started RUU wait until you get the prompt to proceed or until you get the usb error and don't close the application
Go to temp folder to get the rom.zip file
to go to temp folder type %TEMP% in the run command bar
copy the rom.zip to your favourite place and rename it to CLICIMG.zip
Now you can close the RUU install
place CLICIMG.zip in root of memory CARD and turnoff your phone
Boot in to HBOOT mode (power button + volume down keys)
wait for few seconds and install would start
I hope you have a memory card reader to place the file in to it
key for this to work is, you need to have right Tattoo RUU to get ROM.zip or have a goldcard to work any Tattoo RUU derived ROM.zip

True, i forgot about that

Thank you fo helping me. I tried but it doesn't work. The volume keys won't work...

can you check if you could boot to fastboot mode (hold both power button and back button)
From there you can
either reset your phone (menu button)
reboot to HBOOT (action button - centre button)
change to HBOOT (volume down button) - l know it doesn't work for you
or turn off the phone (left button)
If none of the buttons work, then you might need to send your phone to the doctor

Nope...it doesn't work....not to the doctor i will send the phone to the trash...

[Q] Device bootloops after messed up partition

I once tried to use geno's partition resize, and after a reboot, it cannot boot into system anymore. Stuck at the huawei logo.
Since I'm quite familiar with linux, I tried this solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971266
However, my linux installation didn't show any drives when it's in pink screen mode, so I'm pretty much stuck here.
In Windows 8 it did show two HUAWEI Technologies device (no drivers though) in pink screen mode.
I can't access recovery mode either, holding power + vol up only does normal boot for some strange reason. Anyone can help me out here?

try put official GB dload file on sd card, then put sd card in phone press power up+power down+power...
maybe it'll help you.

I tried that too, and it still bootloops. Not much luck.

Go to recovery and wipe everything. Then, reboot recovery, and then try partitioning again.

I can't get into recovery by pressing power + vol up. It just does normal boot (which bootloops).
If there would be any other way to get into recovery (such as via ADB or update.app) would be highly appreciated.

Yes, you can boot into recovery via adb:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But, you cannot use that until your phone is booted up.
If that doesn't work, you can follow these instructions to hard reset your phone:
http://www.hard-reset.com/huawei-u8800-ideos-x5-hard-reset.html
Good Luck.

I can't get it to do the hard reset either. It just boots normally, aside from the bootloop.
I believe I need to fix the partition first before I try to reinstall stock. I hear that stock doesn't work with custom partitions. Which is why I'd prefer to at least get some access to the device via USB in order to fix it.
Ah well. It's a failing device anyway. Even before the brick the camera doesn't work anymore, regardless of which ROM I choose. Maybe it's time to move on for me.

Well, I tried this too (in fact I stated it in the first post) but pink screen mode isn't showing any device (I typed in "dmesg" in the Linux Terminal, none is found).
I appreciate your help, though. If I can solve the detection problem, I should be able to recover my phone using this method. I'd be happy to share some logs if it helps.

I got your back buddy

Hey, this is my first post well here it goes
Step 1 :- Format the sd card and put dload folder in it ( you'll get it from the official rom zip file)
Step 2 :- press and hold vol+ & vol- and then power button, it'll start upgrading
Step 3 :- now here is the tricky part!!! i was stuck here too and gone half mad well, let it reboot it will format cache etc and then bootloops, now turn off the device and then turn on pressing vol+ and power button, or u can try by pressing home, vol+ and power button, u'll b in recovery mode i.e in official rom builtin i guess.
Step 4 :- once in recovery, select reset factory default and clear partition cache, and then reboot!!!! Voila u will b able to finally boot successfully...
Now listen very carefully, u got only one chance here, cause if u reboot ur device again then bootloops will start again so in the first go, root the device by superoneclick and then install recovery i guess u knw all that and then u will be able to return to stock rom by flashing... once u've installed CWM then u r good to go bootloop wont effect ya SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH THOUGH

ZTE Blade 2 GEN stuck on android logo after flashing. Hardware buttons aren't working

Hey guyz,
Could you help me please? I have ZTE Blade TFT phone with 2 gen ROM.
Unfortunatly hardware buttons are not working and can't be repaired. After flashing new ROM my phone is stuck on Android logo.
I have CWM installed, but unfortunatly I can't perform hard reset due the broken buttons.
I can't reflash it via other method as well, cause factory recovery is replaced by CWM.
I can't use a TPT method as menu button is not working as well.
Could you please recommend me any method to recover my phone?
Any feedback is welcome!

Okay dude keep calm maybe your phone is still alive.
Check:
-Do you can enter FTM Mode?
-When you put the device @ charging , does it show a charging animation?
If so or not , pull out battery out of device for 4-5 hours (!) , then put battery back in and try to go in recovery! Maybe then it will go ... If you need to put another ROM to device , just 'Mount and Storage" -> "Mount USB Storage" -> connect phone via USB to Computer and you are able to put another ROM to sdcard.
When you install new ROM
-2x Wipe Data&Factory Reset
-2x Wipe Cache
-2x Wipe Dalvik (under 'Advanced')
-Not needed but you can Wipe Battery Stats
-Install .zip from sdcard
-choose .zip from sdcard
-choose ROM , install and reboot.
I hope it helped!

Hi,
Thanks for assistance! Recovery is already installed. I'm not able to wipe data and cache due broken hardware buttons. Still don't have solution.

To get in fastboot you have to hold the vol up key for around second and then press power on while holding vol up. I mean you shouldn't hold the two buttons at same time to power up.
1. Hold Vol Up key
2.While holding vol up , wait 3 seconds
3 While holding vol up , press power on now. At least you hold two buttons.
4.You should now be in fastboot mode.

Thank you

First of all, do you want android or Windows?
for android, when you see "ENTERING FASTBOOT MODE" then you can reinstall the Recovery and go!

Thanks for replying.
I just want my phone work again, so either Windows or Android...
But with android, i already intalled LK Boot (the message appears in blue now) then i installed the recovery from SC Dard but when the phone boots, it's only showing the black screen with message (in blue). With windows I stuck with the ''Invalid vendor ID'' while installing with RUU (I can't determinate my Vendor ID). So please help

You had Android before as you said, so you can come back to android easily. just be really sure you have reinstalled the Recovery correctly! (Even this happened to me, but at last you will Pass!)
have you tried to manually enter recovery by VolumeUp?
Please tell us the ROM you want to use.

I can't enter recovery manually, only with PC (with CWM LK Boot Recovery's update.bat file). when i power on the phone holding volume up, the phone displays this message (in blue = meaning that the LK Boot is installed):
nand id: 0x5500bcec maker=0xec device=0xbc
press VOLUME UP for RECOVERY
press VOLUME DOWN for FASTBOOT

Good,
When you can't enter Recovery manually (Volume Up), means either it hasn't been installed correctly or you button is damaged. Yes LK Boot is installed (the blue texts) but the Recovery (graphic interface) seems hasn't been installed.
if you can enter Recovery by PC, why not format and install ROM there (don't restart)? you may pass anyway!
and the last thing, did you hold both Power and Volume up? you should just power then release it, but hold Volume UP, what we see in the text you showed us, the phone hasn't detect the pressed Volume Up.
Have a nice try!

I've also formatted before i install the ROM but no succes...
I don't think there is a problem with the volume up button 'cause i use it in the recovery and when i press both volume buttons and power button it leads me to the WP reset option (factory resset) and i use the volume up button to confim the action (restoring).
And, is there a way in can check my Vendor ID? 'cause i would like to install WP but fastboot doesn't give me the CID, the command ''fastboot getvar CID'' returns ''CID: '' then nothing. I'm so desesperate...
BR.

Going Back to WM you should have the right ROM, or contact HTC for the right one, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21617447&postcount=2
And at last, what OS you want to be installed on your phone?

either Android or WP
but android would be better

Alright then,
You said you can't enter Recovery by VolumeUp, right?
if right, connect USB to PC, Click on Update.bat, press number one, then number two, and restart phone (don't unplug phone), when entered fastboot, press number two again, you may now enter manually recovery. if you couldn't pass, press number two and on your phone you would see recovery interface, format and install the ROM, unplug USB and restart phone.....

Okay, will try. thanks again

yeah I mean those 4 arrow buttons which you should touch them. if you touch the arrow, the selection above will move. And there is no need to move by using Volume keys in Recovery.
using PC, it should be possible through terminal ADB, which are some codes for connection. but I don't support this way.
I recommended that you do it by using touch, if the four arrow touch doesn't work, then how can you use it with Android? especially the Phone app is in the four arrow button direction.

Anyway, I found this guide may help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911228
Remember to enter recovery as you did it (Volume + up), So follow the link above at your risk, you may skip the Wipe/format step.

You can probably recover.
To reflash a full firmware image you could try the relatively user-friendly yotaflasher application and ROM images from here. I haven't used this myself, but it's software by Yota, so should be safe. You can ask it not to touch /data, to preserve apps, settings etc.
A less user friendly way to reflash a full firmware image:
- Download a full firmware image (EU 1.60 flashable version here, let me know if you require a different one)
- With the phone off, press vol down + power until you see "Downloading ...."
- If you can't turn the phone off normally, keep vol down + power for at least 15 seconds till phone reboots, keep holding till you end up with "Downloading ...."
- connect to a PC with adb+fastboot with a USB cable
- You can now boot TWRP image (fastboot boot recovery_twrp_yd201_alpha2.img , see here.
- if you have important files on your phone, you can back them up now by using adb shell/adb pull (e.g. adb pull /sdcard/Pictures/yeti_sighting.jpg)
- In TWRP go to advanced -> sideload and confirm
- now you can sideload a ROM image from the PC with adb sideload <image>.zip, it should show progress while it's uploading the firmware. If it errors, you probably haven't confirmed initiating sideload in previous step.
- wipe cache&dalvik and reboot

thank you, the first way worked and my phone runs normally now.
thank you

Root the phone using methods written on this forum > download build 1.60 flammable zip > flash that.
If all you want is Google apps then root the phone then download and flash a gapps package. The full Yota build zip is recommended though.

Can't download yotaflasher application from the link... does anybody have the exe file?

You can probably recover.
To reflash a full firmware image you could try the relatively user-friendly yotaflasher application and ROM images from here. I haven't used this myself, but it's software by Yota, so should be safe. You can ask it not to touch /data, to preserve apps, settings etc.
A less user friendly way to reflash a full firmware image:
- Download a full firmware image (EU 1.60 flashable version here, let me know if you require a different one)
- With the phone off, press vol down + power until you see "Downloading ...."
- If you can't turn the phone off normally, keep vol down + power for at least 15 seconds till phone reboots, keep holding till you end up with "Downloading ...."
- connect to a PC with adb+fastboot with a USB cable
- You can now boot TWRP image (fastboot boot recovery_twrp_yd201_alpha2.img , see here.
- if you have important files on your phone, you can back them up now by using adb shell/adb pull (e.g. adb pull /sdcard/Pictures/yeti_sighting.jpg)
- In TWRP go to advanced -> sideload and confirm
- now you can sideload a ROM image from the PC with adb sideload <image>.zip, it should show progress while it's uploading the firmware. If it errors, you probably haven't confirmed initiating sideload in previous step.
- wipe cache&dalvik and reboot

Just click on the YotaPhoneFlasher folder then click the file (yotaphone2_flasher.exe), and save to your harddisk.
Or you can try this link straight to the yotaphone2_flasher.exe file.

Dude I've just bought my phone, and it has the same problem. But I'm a complete noob, how did you fix it? Please, i've just bought it.

On RU build 134 when I tried to swap users my user with Defaut user, the phone blocked, the display is on (time is the same when first happend - just a freeze image) but I can't do nothing on phone. Is a way to reset? because on a normal way I would remove battery but yota dont have this option.

The analogue method of pulling out the battery is pressing the POWER button for at least 10 seconds. The phone will reboot.

Thanks, I pushed vol down + Power and the phone restarted normaly.
PS: If you know where to get a book from Алекса́ндр Солжени́цын - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to read on yota display, send me.

Sir, i can't even get into recovery mode, i get this problem like it suddenly happen and my battery was 38%.. i was on facebook and it hang and then reboot and then stuck at "POWERED BY ANDROID".
I try to get into recovery mode by pressing volume up + power button, it restart again to "POWERED BY ANDROID"
When i pressing volume down + power button, it show downloding... , and i try to flash it using yotaflasher with HK Firmware 5.0.
When it is done, the phone reboot.
And it still stuck at "POWERED BY ANDROID"
What is the real problem ?

Please help!!!
While trying to solve the network issue on my Yotaphone 2 I managed to brick my phone. He is dead! But since it is a Snapdragon inside it can be fixed.
I need a help from someone who has rooted his Yotaphone2!
I need files from Yotaphone2 software: rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml
Please!!!

You need to keep pressing the power up button after the showing of "POWERED BY ANDROID", the power does not need to be pressed after then.
If you can still not reach recovery, you probably have a broken recovery (maybe wrong version) and something else is messed up.
When you flash recovery, you need to instantly go into recovery mode by pressing +/up on calling the according command
(fastboot reboot).
It does not look like you changed file system related things, did you change anything on your system/with root permissions?
Are you sure the installation process went without failure etc?
Getting out the cause (kernel logs etc) would be a bit hard without getting into recovery mode[and maybe also nonworking kernel], like stated out here
