Did i brick my phone? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i was trying firerats mtd partions and i messed up with the reboot. So at first my phone had error in cache:recover/log so i decided to format the cache. That didn't work i got error formatting cache. Now i cant recover because it stops at cant unmount /cache/
plus i still get the eroor in cache:recover/log
Also can anyone link me to a guide about using adb? I had dl the sdk and the java but my phone was not being recognized. I read a few guides and all of them said the same thing. Make sure your phone is set to debugging mode etc i did that and still nothing.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Not going to class until my phone is fixed

can you get into the bootloader (that white screen you get when you hold volume down?
if you can i would flash the original sprint RUU and see if that works if you can get it back to stock you can reroot and try again

Might wanna try and reflash your recovery and na your phones not bricked try that and redo the mod from stept one and as far as adb u might need the drivers for your version of windows
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™

Try also to ruu then start the process all over It worked for me

As Laie said, if you reflash a recovery, it will get rid of Firerat's and then you
can flash your rom, or you can use the fastboot usb method (hold volume down
when powering up) to RUU, but you will likely need to reroot your phone using
this method.
The advantage of reflashing the recovery is that you won't have to reroot the
phone, but you have to be able to flash a recovery image from adb. The
advantage of the fastboot method, is that it should bypass any potential
problems you may encounter and give you a clean slate.
Depending on the recovery you have right now, you should be able to
push a clean recovery image to the phone, and flash it from inside of
recovery.
On the bright side, the phone isn't bricked, either way..

[Q] phone not working

hi guys looking for help as my phone is not working tidy. i tried to install jellybean rom using the guide in this section followed it to a tee up until it says to wipe factory rset did that and its froze on the 4ext screen i cannot do anything it boots me back to recovery and a message comes up on the 4ext home screen saying the following. ATTN recovery is in safe mode this is because the following partition is not accessible "system" please enter the wipe menu and format system if you changed your hboot you should choose to format all partitions except sd card. no tried to format system its just stuck on the screen disk spinning around left it for a good hour to and it never changed also it does the same if i format all partitions except sd card. i just would like to know if i can get my phone working again from this. thanks
assume you have blackrose if your plans were to install jelly bean so
boot to fastboot and flash a new hboot image, this should fix your partitions
then use fastboot to flash a new recovery
then boot to recovery and flash rom
thanks ever so much for replying but im not sure how to do what you say i cannot access my usb in recovery mode it just freezes up. the only thing working is adb and yeh got blackrose installed just dont no what went wrong think it may have been blackrose im not sure i no my sd card is ok its just the phone system partition that has messed up. if you could explain how to do it or point me to the relevant thread but bare in mind usb wont work only adb. thanks sorry to waste your time.
anyone help me pls in this situation i tried flashing aman ras recovery but my phone wont respond wont let me do anything in 4ext recovery as its in safe mode. its the actual phone system partition that must be stopping it from working it was fine until blackrose was installed. just hope it isnt bricked if only could fix system partition somehow. i cant use usb adb seems to work but not sure how to do it. im not tech minded am a noob but im still human and wont appreciate sarky comments i just need help.
Don't use adb use fastboot (similar but different) fastboot is to be used in bootloader, here hold on....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27796375
This is a guide I made on how to use fastboot, its for a different phone but the basics are the same ( don't flash files from my link only use it as instruction on how to)
You will need to grab a recovery image, must be img format. Also grab a bootloader in the right cmtd partition for the ROM you want.
Go to the thread that has a bunch of hboots to be flashed in recovery, grab the size you need, unzip it (preferably with 7zip) and extract the boot.img from it. Use that image in fasrtboot

thanks so much where do i open the command prompt on my desktop by pressing shift and right clicking mouse as that seems to work the normal one using cmd in start doesnt. also what hboot shall i use do ijust dwnload them to my desktop. do i need usb coz mine dont work in 4ext not to access anything. in bootloader it says fastboot usb in red but it still dont show my device as accessible. if i issue the fastboot prompt that you said would that work. thanks again very helpful to me
im haing no luck at all i got a recovery from xda unzipped it to c: on my pc type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it says this failed remote image update error. can you pls help easy step by step guide easy coz i just dont no what to do appreciate it everyone
Well I already linked you a guide, what happens when you type just
fastboot devices

Its OK now its done now used the fast boot erase system command and flashed cm10 to it works like a charm. Thank you for your help just having a prob with that now as DSP manager doesn't work don't turn the effects on and phone speaker volume is very quiet just wondering how I get it to work again I'm using Apollo as default player.

[Q] HTC one bricked? stuck on HTC logo

Hi I was rooting my HTC one and was able to do so successfully. Then I tried to flash roms and it didn't work with TWRP so I tried clockwork. That's when everything went to hell. I was stuck in the bootloader loop and it just kept booting to that. Then I tried to follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258809
and I did method 1 but when I ran one of the commands I saw failed. Now my HTC One is just stuck on the screen with a silver HTC logo and I can't even turn it off. I would really appreciate any insights and advice. I tried doing it on my own but clearly I kept ****ing up and could really use some help.

This is a softbrick not a (hard)brick. this is fixable. Try putting it under a bright light and holding down pwr + vol dwn (dont ask just do it) and see if the soft buttons start blinking. if so, you should feel a buzz when it reboots, and then keep holding down vol dwn and that should put you into bootloader. from there you can get to fastboot (and maybe even recovery)

for some reason multiple people have reported successful reboots under bright light in which previously (sometimes within minutes) earlier would not work in a dark environment. i have no idea why it works, but ive heard it work enough times, its worth adding it in.

It's thought this is a safety feature so that you can't accidentally long press power and restart in dark places like your pocket.
@rider5512 Sounds right to me. Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks Toxic!!- so I tried that and I'm back in the bootloader now! I guess the bright light made a difference as I messed up my phone last night. It didn't buzz but now I'm back in the bootloader. How should I go about fixing this now that I can access the bootloader and recovery? I really don't want to half ass this again lol.
It also says "TAMPERED" "RELOCKED" on the top as well.
I'm thinking of following the instructions for method 2 from this thread.

Method 2 looks good.
Just remember that you will have to unlock your bootloader again. You will probably have to request a new token at htcdev.
Then flash recovery from toolkit and sideload and install new rom.

Great I'm just concerned at getting this to work again.
EDIT - So I am trying method 2 right now - I am trying to boot into recovery but it just brings me back to bootloader. I cannot access recovery so when I try sideloading the rom it doesn't work. It says "error device not found" in cmd prompt but I already installed the HTC drivers though. Any advice?
So that means I have to go through the whole process of unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. So can I just use this tool by Hasoon2000 instead of going through manually typing in cmd prompts in the future?
In regards to requesting the new token, can you clarify? Are you saying that since I activated the old token, it cannot be activated anymore and I need to contact HTC Dev directly?

You need to flash a new custom recovery again before you can boot into it and sideload. You won't be able to do that until you unlock your bootloader again.
You do have to do the whole process of unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery from the toolkit.
You will need to get a new unlock token from htcdev (however you did it before, manually or with the toolkit) since you can only use the unlock token's once it seems. No biggie, just need to do the process again to get that new token you will need to unlock you bootloader before you will be able to do anything in recovery.

Thank you crushalot!
So I am following this guide.
http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux/
I successfully unlocked the bootloader and now I need to flash the recovery. In Step 23, he copies the file "CWM-SuperSU-v1.30.zip" into the internal storage. Since I cannot access the internal storage of the phone, is this step necessary to flashing recovery? Can I just skip over to step 24 and run "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.0.0-m7.img" ?
Edit - Okay so I used Hasoon's toolkit to flash the recovery and I think it worked. However, now I am trying to sideload the rom and having issues. I selected "ADB Sideload a ROM" and i manually went into recovery and TWRP (the toolkit can't send it into recovery for some reason). I selected "sideload a rom" on the HTC and then it shows you a bar that says "Swipe to sideload". I wasn't sure if I needed to do that or not but I tried running the toolkit and sideloading the rom and i got "error: closed" in command prompt.
in TWRP there are messages saying "unable to mount /data, recreate data/media folder, internal storage etc".

That is done in order to give root access to the currently installed rom. You are going to install a new rom, so you don't have to do that until you get the rom installed.
You are now the 3rd user I have run into that is having the issue where you can't mount anything in recovery and I'm not sure why. Some users report that re locking and unlocking the bootloader fixes this, but you just did that, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
Within the toolkit try the perm root option? Perhaps there is something I can't think of since I rooted mine, the day I got it awhile back.
"Rooting The Device To root your device, first make sure you have unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom recovery. Next, select the ‘Perm Root’ option (the last one) from the Extras section and follow the instructions to get root access in no time."
To any other advanced users who may be able to answer this:
Does the recovery need the installed rom to have the SU binaries before it can mount the system in recovery? Does recovery need to be granted SU though some other means before mounting?

Okay I just tried Perm room - nothing happened except it showed 776 KB/s. I remember a few days ago there was a system update from HTC and I updated it OTA - would that affect this at all?
Just to be clear, I run the program, go into recovery, go into adb sideload, then I select the rom on the PC. Then I swipe across the bar to mount the rom and then it fails to mount and I get "error closed" in command prompt.
I know it is a pain in the ass, and users not familiar with adb/fastboot commands and using the toolkit mess it up.
Flashing recovery in fastboot after you pointed to your adb/fastboot folder you need to do:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery name-of-your-recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
As you got it flashed successfully but you have problems sideliadung it with adb, get yourself a OTG cable and a USB storage stick, put the custom ROM.zip on there and then choose 'flash .zip from external storage' or s.thing like that. I don't know if that option is available in TWRP but it is in ClockworkMod.
Once you have booted successfully up into the ROM, go back into recovery and do a Nandroid back up, and keep it on that stick and on the internal storage if your One!
Good luck

Hmm so can I use the toolkit to do this? I don't have the actual recoveries of TWRP and CWM. If I have TWRP on this installed, can I flash Clockwork as well or do you have to choose one or the other?
I just want to clarify - are you saying that I should be doing this manually instead of using the toolkit to install CWM or TWRP? When I use the toolkit, does it erase the cache?
Btw, when I plug in my phone, it detects it as an F drive but I cannot access the actual internal storage. What does this mean? I have the drivers installed already.

Yes, every user that I encountered with this issue had done an OTA update. Not exactly sure why or how that is causing these issues.
Yes, your procedure for sideload is correct, however you are unable to flash anything or use recovery at all because when in recovery the internal storage won't mount, so it can't perform any actions.
Need to do some more reading for: unable to mount in recovery

I don't think the toolkit is the issue. The cache erase can also be done from the toolkit with the Erase Cache in the Commands section. Never hurts to try this, but the issue is not being able to mount storage in recovery. I think you could install either recovery and it wouldn't matter as they would both have the same issue. Generally, I prefer TWRP anyway.
You can't access the phones internal storage when connected via USB when the phone is in recovery or fastboot. So that is normal.

Hmmm okay so the other poster's suggestion was to get an OTG cable (a micro usb to USB cable right?) and connect the USB with the ROM directly the phone. Do you think this would be a big difference or no? I just don't know if the issue is the internal storage itself or the mode of pushing the ROM.
Otherwise, I'm pretty much scratching my head and have no idea what else I could do =/.
Just for anyone else who's having issues, I've tried using TWRP's install function with the OTG cable but it still doesn't mount. Just letting people know.
if you are noob to recover your phone you can try some services like this

Need help unbrick (willing to pay if needed)

I have a VS980:
I rooted and installed twrp recovery.
I triedto install pac_vs980-dev-20140731
I copied it to root of my phone along with the gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip.
I made a backup of everything on the phone, Then did a full wipe of everything.
I installed the two zips, and it says sucessful. Then goes into a boot loop!
I tried to recover the the backup and it is not found!
IDK what to do it is my girlfriends phone and she is absolutly ripped **** with me. I need serious help to fix this I have no idea what went wrong or how to fix it please help willing to make a paypal payment to anyone who can actually fix this. I was trying a new rom but adb sideload won't load either!
I keep seeing people saying that some commands work for them but when I am in twrp and click advanced and terminal command it loads up what looks like a file browser and I am lost. I seriously need to fix .
I tried the following:
from the TWRP terminal command was to type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.

But both commands say there's no space left. what should i try now?
I'm new to this phone but can't you just load the phone's SD into the computer in twrp?
That's what I would do with my old phones.

No this phone doesn't have an SD Card, and the computer isn't seeing the phone at all while plugged in.
I ended up downloading the LG Flash tool and the stock KDZ file it took seconds and completely fixed the phone,
Just had to boot the phone into download mode (Press Volume Up and insert USB cord while phone is off)
and uploaded the KDZ file and all is new, still rooted, but other then that everything is back to full stock.
I don't understand why people don't just make KDZ files for the custom roms! It's much easier!
I know, I meant "mount as USB drive" option in twrp.
They probably need to digitally sign it for a kdz to work , so I don't think they can just "make" a kdz
Have you tried to go back into twrp and wiped the dalvick again. Then tried to reboot.
If all else fails, use the Return To Stock Guide in the general section. What version of Android did you have on the phone before you flashed this? You need to make sure the rom matches the baseband you're using.

HELP!!! Please! BRICKED!!!

Hey so I have the L90 D415 and I flashed the partition tool to get more data but i didn't realize that it was broken for my device and now im having issues.... This is how it went. I used the tool and it got to 70% and rebooted back into twrp so i knew that wasnt right so i flashed the next one that was supposed to be fixed and it did flash completely but for some reason it erased twrp, installed cwm and now i cant get into either. I had flashed stock using cwm before i chose to reboot but im still not able to boot up(stuck on LG logo). So to recap I can't get into recovery at all.

Hey so I have the L90 D415 and I flashed the partition tool to get more data but i didn't realize that it was broken for my device and now im having issues.... This is how it went. I used the tool and it got to 70% and rebooted back into twrp so i knew that wasnt right so i flashed the next one that was supposed to be fixed and it did flash completely but for some reason it erased twrp, installed cwm and now i cant get into either. I had flashed stock using cwm before i chose to reboot but im still not able to boot up(stuck on LG logo). So to recap I can't get into recovery at all. I have fastboot. flashtool wont work(wont read phone in usb mode cuz im not booted) and im stuck on the LG boot screen. Please help me.

Well duh you didnt wipe the data of the rom before you flashed so of couse you are gonna be boot. Flash with the kdz offline flash then when you are done flashing pull out battery and use special button combo to factory reset it so that you can boot in to phone but you will lose all data excluding the ones on your EXTERNAL sd card.

I did though. I wiped system, data, cache, dalvik and internal.
What do you mean by offline flash?(sorry first LG. I had a Huawei before this)

You need to make sure that you have hidden files on
yeah i figured it out with google.
I have tried both methods on the guide and have came up short both times. I keep receiving this error(In screenshot).
I am desperate for any fix to this problem. I have access to fastboot and download mode. That is honestly all i got. When my phone is on the LG screen my computer reads it but the lg flash tool has connection issues. Please help me figure this out. I really need my phone back.

Go on the lg website and find lg l90 d415 drivers and install them if you got that far its most likely just driver issues.

Also check if you have your computer enabled for all drivers..
Some drivers do not boot because the certificate is not correctly assigned.
If you have a PC running Windows, on boot press F8 and select disable driver certification verify.
Try again after this.

Need help unbricking zenwatch 3

I have had issues with my zenwatch 3 being crazy slow on android wear 2.0, and i read some possible solutions..
I also have an issue where whenever i turn my watch on it says "device software cannot be checked for corruption" and it makes it take an additional 10-15 seconds to boot up. This has been on the watch since i got it (i bought used and the bootloader was already unlocked, if thats why its doing that. When going through forums I also saw mention for disabling dm verity and wondered if that would get rid of that annoying screen.
I wanted to see if i could remove the zenfit stuff, cause i saw that some users claimed speed improvements, so i flashed twrp, and when i booted in i accidentally said to allow modifications (even though now i see that people say not too). I didnt make any changes while in here, but thought that might be important to state. In the instructions to remove zenfit i again saw to disable dm verity, so i moved onto that.
I then connected through adb and ran the command fastboot oem disable_dm_verity, but that didnt seem to do anything. I then ran the command "adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing" which i dont think was a good one to run, and i wonder if caused my issue. When i tried to boot back into twrp it would boot to a dead android.
I decided at this point that instead of screwing things up further, i would just flash to AW 1.5 and hope for speed improvement there. I downloaded the files, and through fastboot flashed the stock 1.5 boot, system, and recovery. using this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...stock-zenwatch-3-partition-dump-boot-t3535589
i rebooted the device and it went to the android wear screen and loaded for a while, and then to the upgrading android screen. when it got to step 7 it went back to the aw loading animation and then attempted to boot up and gave an error "unfortunately process android.process.acore has stopped" and started all over again trying to upgrade android and then getting to this point and failing. I then downloaded the images for stock 2.0 and flashed and got the same exact error.
I then tried to flash twrp again, and now if i try to flash 1.5 or 2.0 it just goes to a dead android screen. I can boot into twrp still with the boot adb command
I want to try flashing 1.5 or 2.0 through trwp, but my watch will not mount/connect at mtp to my PC while at twrp for some reason...
Any ideas or solutions? how can i flash everything straight back to default. Including whatever i may have done to the dm verity?
Please help

Thanks for the help, but this wont work either. 2 issues
1. I forgot to mention this, but since posting i have found that my system partition will not mount correctly, and the data partition will not mount at all, meaning that i cant do any wipes or resets through twrp because it fails to mount
2. When i try to do the adp push, it fails and says no space left on the device, but this would be because the partitions wont mount. I also cannot connect to the watch through mtp to copy files to it.
any advice?

Did you erase userdata? If so, go back to fastboot and try
'fastboot format userdata'
That should allow you to mount the data in TWRP and also allow you to push to /sdcard/
What do you mean by system partition will not mount correctly?

Son of a *****... you did it!!! oh my goodness... I cannot even begin to explain how big of a relief this is, and how happy i am right now!!..
I didnt even go back and reflash the boot, rom, or recovery yet. I just ran that fastboot command and put in the reboot command and let it go. It booted into android wear and is on the get started screen.... Oh goodness.... Thank you so much...
At this point i honestly felt so hopeless. I didnt think there would be anything else i could do. I had tried EVERYTHING that any forum could suggest. I had flashed back and forth between 1.5 and 2.0 at least 10 times, using slightly different steps, and trying again to see if i missed anything. ( i must have ended up on an odd number, because i am now on android wear 1.5!!)

Glad it worked out.
If you want to stay at 1.5, you know what to do.
