[Q] Reboot loop after setting to CPU 1.1Ghz

I had nadlabak CM7 installed on my Milestone, I saw there was a new version so I downloaded that to my SD.
While I'm at it I'm downloading the new OpenRecovery for Milestone and while I'm in OR I see an option to OC to 1.1Ghz. Let's try it ...
Not a good idea it seems since I'm stuck in a reboot loop. I can't get into the recovery menu via the 'normal' way: Hold x while boot, then hold up + camera.
I started with CM7 using the following method since I could never get into the recovery via the normal way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796679&page=26
Anybody have any tips ?
Any hidden key I don't know about to get into the recovery menu ?
Any other idea's ?

If your bootloader is older version than 90.78, the actual way to boot to recovery is to hold the camera button while powering-up the phone, not the x key.

My bootloader is 90.78
Any other idea's ?

Proper way is X + power, when triangle comes up, Vol DOWN + camera. I don't remember getting in with Vol UP. But I didn't use the combination for a while, it automatically reboots in AOR for me.
Anyway, if that doesn't work, replace Open Recovery folder and update.zip with new one, reflash the phone via RSDLite, and try again ^^.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace - Low internal memory root?

I have this common problem with the ace, low internal memory. Ive done all the system resets, app2sd, clear cache, uninstall stuff, move to sd etc Done it all and it won't sort out the problem. So after hours of googling, the solution appears to be rooting.
I have a 32gb sd card and want it filled with apps and games so im 90% sure on rooting. But how safe is it? how easy? does it work? someone said i can root my phone so my sd card can act as the internal memory. But if i do this, can i still eject my sd card, put it in my computer and take files off there? should i root? someone said there is a 1superclick to root and de root, anyone?
I know its a lot of questions but any help is great.
Thanks

For me rooting was easy, i used a different program, but the end result is the same. Yes there are scripts etc that will enable you to use a partition on the sd for apps. The main thing to remember is to back up your existing Rom just in case. If you look thru the forums here, there are tutorials on rooting and installing a custom recovery. Welcome to the forums

I rooted mine by flashing this file through the stock recovery.
I don't remember a lot about the stock recovery but if you can, before rooting, backup your ROM.
Download the above file and put it on the root of your SD card (ie. NOT in a folder)
Boot into recovery mode by powering off your device and then powering on holding power+home.
in recovery you can scroll through the options using your volume buttons and select an option by pressing the home button. pressing the power button will take you back a screen.
Choose apply update from sd card option
Scroll through until you find the AceGingerRoot.zip
Press the home button to apply the update.
Now when you reboot the system you should see an android pirate icon in your app drawer. This app should be called SuperUser.
From here on out, you can use app2sd scripts, unlock your phone if desired, change your recovery image (CWM 5 is recommended), play with custom ROMs, etc.
Be warned that your WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED and that I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR DEVICE (though if you follow the directions, nothing bad should happen.)
STAY AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER. IT KILLS ACES.
If AceGingerRoot.zip does not work, try this file instead: upd_1.zip
if that one fails use root.zip

I cant put my phone into reovery mode, it keeps turning off instead

With your phone off, push and hold the home button ( square button @ bottom of screen ) then push the power button. This will take you into recovery. The volume button will scroll and the home button will allow you to chose your options.

Turn off your device and leave it for a few seconds.
Power on holding power and home buttons together.
When the Samsung logo appears, let go of power and continue holding home.
You should see a screen with blue text, touch will be disabled. That is recovery mode. When you see this, you can let go of home and scroll with volume up/down. Use there home button to select an option.

If you are running stock rom you may have to uncheck fastboot in your settings. Been awhile since i have been on stock, and forget exactly where to find it.

I keep trying, ive read the same instructions everywhere and seen videos but it wont do it. ive done it exactly the way its said and tried 20 times, no sucess

The program i used for root is called Unlock Root ( google it ). Its pretty simple to use. Just follow the instructions. It should work. Again its something you do at your own risk, i am not responsible if something goes wrong. Good luck.

I have done lots of reading and there is so much information, but after all that, not being technically minded I didn't feel confident myself so I sent my phone to a guy on ebay who Unlocked, Rooted, Installed a better ROM (Looks like Jellybean on the Galaxy S2) and fixed my low memory issues using appstosd, reasonable value as well, if it helps anyone else this is the ebay listing cgi.ebay.co.uk\221232033776 Regards, Mike

[Q] Bricked After JB OTA Update and FXZ to .246

I installed the JB OTA updated and lost root, couldn't get it back for anything. I proceeded to FXZ back to .246 and somehow bricked my Bionic. I;m using RSD Lite 5.7 and the VRZ_XT875_6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip FXZ file. I get to step 6/21 and it fails every time. it says "Failed flashing process. 6/21 flash cdt.bin "cdt.bin" -> Phone Returned FAIL.
Am I permanently bricked? Any Ideas? Thanks guys.

Identical to a thread I already have going Sadly no one seems to have a solution yet. I'm hoping that if we get a FXZ file for JB that we can unbrick - but I have no clue where such files come from our how they're created - so looks like a waiting game.

Power the unit off. Then hold VOL UP and VOL DOWN at the same time and then hold the power button for a second or two. You should get a menu. I believe the first value is normal boot. Press VOL UP when "normal boot" is highlighted (or press vol down until its highlighted then press vol up). Your phone should then boot into JB unfortunately you'll still be without root but you'll be back in the game with a phone that you can at least use.

if fastboot writing "fastboot flash failure" then you need to recowery fastboot. I'm using script for changing boot animation he will correct this stuff.

Try this. put your sd card in a friends phone and upload the JB system update zip file to your sd card then put it back into your phone. Can you press and hold both volume keys THEN press power while holding the up down volume keys. instead of normal boot go down to recovery and press volume up to select it. Moto logo will apear then blank screen the the red triangle android. once that is on the screen hold both up down volume buttons again. at this time a menu should pop up and you can scroll down to system update from zip and load the JB zip file from your sd card. This is how I loaded JB on my phone. Hope things work out for you.

What do you mean? I can't FXZ anything right now, I've tried all end in failure. I think its because of the new security level of the JB update. I think I'll have to wait for a JB FXZ. Haven't seen one yet.

Tried that, didn't work. It failed as well. I think my system files are totally bunked up.

You might be screwed. I know in the past that you would brick your device if you tried going backwards from ICS to gingerbread. I assumed the same would apply in this situation as well. If you have insurance, you may want to drop your phone in the toilet.

[Help] Unlocking bootloader D-405N

I use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-flash-custom-t2839690
But I cant find recovery.img on my phone and I use another recovery. Now I want to go in Recovery Mode but I have only LG logo and in left up corner is:
[490] fastboot_int()
[590] USB init ept @ 0xffdc000
[610] udc_start()
Besides when I restart phone, my phone turn on normally. I think that the fault of a bad file recovery.img. Someone can send me recovery.img on D-405N? Or help me with this problem? Best Regard, Damian.

all of them, its for all lg l90 D4xx devices.
I recommend using this one TWRP_2.8.4.0_160115_L90.img

Ok It's done, thank you. But i have another problem... I put on my SD card ROM but Team Win Recovery Procjet doesn't see zip file. Why? SD card must be in Ext2?

sd card should be in fat32
make sure you are looking into right directory, in twrp you can choose between internal and external sdcard. if you cant see it on external memory try putting it into internal.

I have another problem... -.- I install ROM but when i turn on phone is LG logo, T-mobile logo and I wait and nothing. Someone can help me?!

which rom did you install?
maybe try to do full wipe and reinstall it

just pull your battery out
and this how you can get into recovery, its from that thread for unlocking bootloader etc
HOW TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY PRESSING VOLUME AND POWER KEY
You can reboot to recovery via flashify app or following key combination: -
Power of your phone press both Volume Down + Power Button same time, As soon as the LG logo appears release both buttons and immediately press and hold same buttons (Volume Down+Power) again. Now Factory data reset screen will appear saying "Erase all user data & restore default settings?". Use volume down key to select "Yes" and press power button to confirm and now you should be in recovery.
