Need help with N7 & CWM

Last night I decided to try MIUI so I did a nandroid then followed installation instructions (including formatting /system which I've never done before and could possibly be cause of problem?)
After deciding MIUI was a little too phone focused, I decided to restore my nandroid. However, now I can't even get into CWM. First, there's no option on reboot menu to do so and even if I power off and start bootloader the old fashioned way, it simply hangs on the "google" screen. I noticed also that once choosing "recovery" from bootloader menu there is no apparent restart...it immediately goes to google screen and stays there.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

i had a similar problem. i had to switch my device off, plug it into my PC and reflash my chosen recovery.
That's the direction I was heading but can't do it from work. Thanks... Good to know that worked for you so I'll give it a shot

Seems to me it has to be plugged into a computer to get to recovery from the pwr/vol button restart. Otherwise when you choose recovery from the bootloader screen it will hang at the Google. You don't have to do anything with the PC connection, it just has to be plugged in. Not sure why it works this way, but it does. Just tried it again with mine.
Try the app "ROM manager" second option from the top will take you to CWM without the need to be plugged in to the PC.
I d/l all my zips and nightlies straight to my N7 and flash and update using this system. However, I wouldn't use ROM Manager for any other functions as is not updated very often.

[Q] LG G2 is bricked...

Hey guys and gals...It really looks like my phone is screwed...I recently updated to lollipop which is awesome and i thank you guys or gals for all the work you've put in. Last night I decided to go into updates and without knowing what it was going to cause, I clicked on one of the updates and went into that CYANOGENMOD screen. I could turn the phone off, but that's about it. My question would be if it is possible to get a fix on this or not? Thanks for any comments.

We need more info. What device version are you on? Does your windows pc recognise the device? Have you tried to restore the device with lg's flashing tool? Does the phone still boot to the cyanogenmod boot animation or just dead in the water?

(chihuas33) Thanks for your reply...The device I am using is for AT&T which is the D800. When I plug in my device to my laptop it does recognize it but that's as far as it will go. I have not tried to restore with LS's flashing tool because I had no idea about it but I'll check it out. My phone does boot to cyanogenmod and does not go any further. Any feed back would be awesome.

Sounds like your device is in a boot loop pal. Boot into recovery of possible and wipe cache+dalvik cache and see if it helps

WAIT, your phone can still be fixed. Use srk tools to unbrick your device. If you see multiple disk drives your phone is still revivable.

I tried the tools the unbrick didn't work. the device isn't showing up like it does in the video see my second screen shot. I will try it again though.
edit: right went and did it again and I still have no download mode but I can get the recovery menu, I replaced the recovery img in the folder to tWPR to try boot it but again black screen when I try. I will try replacing the files with the .img form my current rom and see if she boots
Edit 2: I see lots of disks like above but still no download mode when connecting via USB, just about to give up on this darn phone

In order to flash cloudy g3 lollipop you need to flash the KitKat baseband before you install it.

I love you, man! So simple, and yet it solved my problem flashing CloudyG2 3.3! I tried flashing it from stock KK, and couldn't do it no matter what, until I did what you said. When reading other posts, I understood KK baseband is needed when you flash from JB. Didn't realize the same applies when you are coming from stock KK. Jeez...
Anyway, big THANK YOU! :good:

failed flashing Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.9-20151121-jfltexx.zip ROM

Hi. Today I wanted to flash my s4 I9505 device with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-resurrection-lollipop-v5-5-5-t3195202 but at the end the problem has popped out. I had an android 5.0 lollipop don't remember which one exactly. First I've rooted my phone with odin 3.07. Then I've downloaded ROM Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager) from Play and installed recovery. It looked like this: http://www.pocketpc.ch/attachments/...ry-fuer-galaxy-s4-mini-gt-i9195-wp_000062.jpg. Then I wiped cache and data. It appeared with totally clear phone. Then I installed superuser from the recovery level and then problem appeared. The phone is booting up normally but after all the starting logos it comes with black screen and multiple crashed of Multimedia, Camera, Interface and so on. Is it bricked? I don't know what to do, I have to say I am kinda newbie. Hope that someone will help.

Great you got it working.
Just a small tip for in the future. Make sure you use TWRP recovery. CWM and Philz is outdated.

t580 - FACTORY BINARY - and now?

i installed a FACTORY BINARY FIRMWARE to disable frp.
But how to do this?
Phone is running something calling FACTORY BINARY - but what to do to bypass frp, and get back to stock FW?
Thank you

Did you factory reset in settings first?
??? I bought it on a fleamarket.
And after powering it up this happens.
There is no way to go to settings and reset them.
Wiping data partition and booting it says unauthorized try to reset device. Login to google account last used...
Tried a few things i saw on youtube but everything is for an older fw.
Google assist trick while setup wifi is no longer working...

I thought you said you'd installed the factory (combination) firmware?
This should bypass FRP and allow it to boot to the OS and access settings or are we getting wires crossed here?
Thats the Problem...
I flashed stock firmware again.
The same that was installed.
So i can reflash this factory binary fw again.
But there was only a screen shiwing hw infos and some test modes.
I found no manual what to do with it.
Do you have a manual? Or some advise?
I saw *#0808# and chosse adb but then i found nothing that helps.
Thx

Swipe down.
If it's not there you can install 3rd party launcher such Nova using adb shell.
Put it on the device or sd card first then do:
adb shell
pm install <path to .apk file>
Ah yes.
But still same problem
Did this and nothing changes.
After flashing stock i get same error again.
Also adb dont work.
2nd and 3rd command gibes me an error...

Aha.
O.k. what do i need to install (google account manager 6.0.1? My combo fw is 6.0.1) and the apk is saved on computer or on phone?
Then start g a m and reset phone, flash stock - done?
Maybe step by step instructions.
Thx
i reflashed combination Firmware.
isnatlled google account manager 6.0.1 apk using adb shell.
i can see it in "apps" on the tablet.
But how to run it?
Also WIFI is not working.
i see SSID´s and i´m able to enter password, but there is no O.K. Button...
o.k. wifi is working, nova launcher also, but google account manager is only shown in settings apps, but i can´t run it...
also in nova only shown in settings apps.

If you can access settings just factory reset from settings or is that option not available now?
Sure, it is available, but then?
After rebooting, factory binary FW startsup again, and when going into download mode and flash stock again, it is the same as before!
unauthorized factory reset. login to google account last used...
We on the s8 install factory binary then enabled oem unlock then install stock firmware.
Oem enable?
What is this???

lready solved it - search for an 7.0 Android ROM with same bootloader and follow the common steps for frp bypass with Factory Rom (*#0808#) reboot - flash 7.0 OEM and you are done ??
