As everyone knows psneuter did not work on 1.83 SBF to gain temporally root privileges to run a script on early USB enumeration mode to recover.
So please find bellow what I did to recover from a softbrick from a bad modding in the framework:
Prerequisites:
* 1.83 SBF on any flavor: stock, Gingerblur, Gingergray, Gladiatrix, etc.
* Access to an original framework files (Original 1.83 SBF file, etc)
* Tenfar’s CDW already installed before softbrick
* External SDcard to transfer files from your PC to the softbrick phone
* USB debugging ON before softbrick (Settings->Development->USB Debugging)
So here it is the deal:
1. Mostly all the time the file that get screw modding is the framework-res.apk, so the first thing to do is to indentified which file is screw before when to softbrick
2. Find a original from that file (can be any file inside /system/framework) depends on what was you doing before softbrick
3. Download the file “restore.zip” attached
4. Unzip it on your PC hard disk
5. Now place the files you want to restore inside the /system/framework on the unzip location
6. Now zip again the files as “restore.zip” (Normal compression)
7. Copy the file to the external SDcard and place the card on the phone
8. Plug AC to the phone so you can fire Tenfar’s CDW
9. Find apply update.zip from sdcard from Tefar’s CDW menu and run it
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy!
if you are softbricked from a bad framework-res.apk mod you can simply pull the battery and plug into the wall, let tenfar's cwm load up and reflash gingerblur or gladiatrix or whatever you like.

yup i did this lastnite, even swapped between p-roms, works a charm just remember to format after flash of p-rom
how can you enter cwm when your bricked? i thought you had to use the system recovery app in the app drawer, surely you can only enter android recovery

I would like to know if the steps I remember are correct.
1. Backup, backup, backup ......
2. Execute One click JF6 odin (already installed on my Windows)
3. Execute One click root(already installed on my Windows)
4. Install ROM Manager
5. Flash Clockworkmod inside ROM Manager. If it doesn't pull it, manually download the clockwork mod update.zip
6. Download Perception zip file(done). Put it on sdcard and reboot into recovery mode, then install from zip file.
Did I miss anything?
Thanks!

Just backup the update.zip on your sd card and you can eliminate rooting and installing rom manager. Reboot into recovery and install packages (twice).

skip steps 3-5
drop the update.zip file onto your sdcard, after flashing stock reboot it into recovery using the 3 finger salute...
Awesome guys!!!
As always, thanks a lot!!!

I found the recovery-update.zip file under /clockworkmod. That's the one right? Why do we have to install it twice?
oh, forgot to say this other question regarding odin JF6. I've only used it once. I'm currently away from home so I cannot verify it now.
Is the button called Master-Clear? When I executed it last time, it didn't erase my internal sdcard. However, I read a thread earlier that Master-clear erases internal sdcard.
Thanks!
Check for two things before you start:
1. Does the phone get into recovery mode
2. Does the phone get into download mode
Recovery mode is to recover brain dead phones, aka, OS corrupted.
Download mode is to recover comatose phones, aka, doesn't even start up, but not bricked.

I think I did. I couldn't remember since we were doing it over freenode chat. I should have taken notes. Why?
Yea.. I've never really got that Master Clear to work on Odin on my phone so I don't use it.
If anything you could do a factory reset from within the phone itself after you've ODIN'd back to stock.
Just make sure you have that update.zip from the posts ^^ up there and your good to go.

Same here. I always format the internal SD first and then do a master reset.

master clear works, but you have to be:
a. booted up normal, with usb debugging ON
and
b. NOT have sdcard mounted to computer
c. have ODIN open BEFORE you plug in your phone
d. sacrifice a virgin chicken
Hi,
As my title suggests, I'm a bit new with all of this, and I'm still learning what is essential to do. I have downloaded ROM Manager, SuperUser, and a terminal. Is there anything else I forgetting to do? I know I should make a backup of what I am running now, but I am a bit uncertain of how to do so. Do I just use ROM Manager for that? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
First, flash ClockworkMod using ROM Manager. Then, reboot into recovery mode and select "reinstall packages". Once you have ClockworkMod installed, you can make a backup through ClockworkMod.
Download Odin3 one-click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Then, install the drivers mentioned on the page. Odin3 is a very useful tool to get your phone back to stock if you brick it. Always flash back to stock with Odin3 and do a master clear with Odin3 before you flash a ROM.
When you want to flash a ROM, transfer the zip file to your internal sd card. Then, enter ClockworkMod and select the zip. ClockworkMod will then flash the ROM for you.
I hope that helps! Happy Flashing!
You should do a couple if things
Flash clockwork recovery
Open tom manager
Top option to flash clock work
Select captivate
Try to get into recovery
Turn phone off
Vol up & down & power, hold
Ar&t comes up, let go
Blue letters recovery
Volume down to scroll
reinstall packages power button to select
Phone boots
Repeat last two steps
Should boot into green letters clockwork recovery
reboot phone
Get into download mode
Power off
Remove bat, sim, and external sd
Plug usb into computer
Hold vol up & down, plug in usb
Should have orange android with shovel. You are in download mode. Pull battery reboot
Download this program (odin) if you have a windows pc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
If you do not have the usb drivers installed you can find them on that thread.
Once downloaded open program, put phone into download mode with odin open. One of the boxes should turn orange and say com 1 disconnect pull battery
Odin is the program you use to flag stock, or recover from bag flash.
If you can not do any of these steps don't flash, you could end up in trouble and not be able to recover
Flashing roms is easy
Download rom, place on internal sd
Get into clock work recovery
Select option to install zip from sd
Select option to find zip
Find rom file select
Confirm selection
Put the phone down and watch the magic
Always flash with full battery, sim removed, external sd removed
hope this helps

How do you exactly open the Odin file? It's a RAR extension.
winrar or 7zip. i recommend 7zip
I use winrar, 7 zip works as well. Both are free online
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Alright thanks for all your help. I used 7zip and was able to do all the steps correctly (Got to Odin, also can enter download mode), and backed up with TiBackup. So I flashed Assonance today and restored my apps, and it seems pretty nice. Thanks for all your help again.
I flash a lot SBF file got and official, and vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78
but all the time it write:
E:failed to to verify whole file signature
please help me (I jest want to get back to my alfa CM9 )
Please give more information, such as:
Device Model (A853/A854/A855/XT)
Bootloader version (90.78, etc)
Operating system of your PC
Screenshot of error from RSDLite if SBF flashing is failing
Exact filename of SBF that's failing to flash
Can we also get this moved out of Development?
the other forums(not the dev) haven't a lot activity.
- A853
- 90.78
- win 7 64Bit
- no RSD err , for any SBF file
anybady???
hi,
i got the same problem and i did a research and found a way to fix it and it worked!
what you must do is:
1.flash the sbf file
2.remove the sdcard from the phone and insert it in to the PC
3.copy the update.zip and the openrecovery to the root of the sdcard
4.put the sdcard in the phone
5.hold (on the keyboard) x and the power button
6.select the update.zip and it should work
the problem is that when you flash the sbf it corrupt the update.zip (don't ask me why)
and i am not sure if it will work if you copied the update.zip and the open recovery via the usb
if i helped you please press the thanks button ^.^
As bad x boy already said, you need to flash the vulnerable recovery file ( vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf ) with RSD, then copy on the root of your SD card the recovery files ( update.zip and OpenRecovery folder - I chose Open Recovery 3.3). With the phone turned off, press the camera button while pressing the ON/OFF button. When you see the triangle, press the volume up key, then the camera button and from that menu, choose apply update from sd card or something like that. It should work just fine from now on. Good luck!
UPDATED THE 1 CLICK SBF EXE TO THE OFFICIAL .906 SBF
now you can restore you D3 to factory .906
I created a 1-click-sbf.exe to make flashing as simple as possible.
The exe when ran will extract files to a temp dir (if needed)
to make it easy for you to delete manually or most window cleaners will clean the temp folder.
thus you don't have to have that much room taken up on your hard drive all the time..
when you start the exe it will check the temp folder to see if the files still remain..
if they do it will not need to extract the files thus starting much quicker!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE
DOWNLOAD: http://d-h.st/Z7b
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the above file to computer
2. Get a beer (or bowl..i prefer both)
3. If you have a spare battery, or the current battery, make sure it's charged above 50%
(quick unbrick wont run if it's below 50%)
4. When the phone is off, press m+power and scroll down to AP Fastboot.
5. Plug the phone into the computer, make sure you get the USB connected message on the phone.
6. Run the "D3.906.SBF.exe" (win 7 users right click on .exe and run as administrator)
7. Let your phone restore and boot.
8. Finish that beer (and bowl) your done..wasn't that easy..

Hey guys,
So i'm sure this is probably already out there, but I wanted to give everyone my method of success with rooting the latest version on Android (5.0) on our N5. Here it is:
Prereqs: You'll need to have these downloaded first
TWRP - Download to your Computer
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hammerhead/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hammerhead.img
SuperUser v2.19 - Download to your Phone
http://click.xda-developers.com/api...ainfire.eu/593/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.19.zip
Platform Tools - Download to your Computer
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390355257214632011
Steps
1) Download SuperUser v2.19 to your phone.
2) Turn off your phone, and reboot into the BootLoader by holding Power + Vol (-). Wait until you see the Green Android Robot.
3) Plug your phone via Micro USB to your Computer.
4) Download and Extract Platform Tools in a "New Folder" on your C: Drive. Give the folder an easy name such as "N5" or something similiar
5) Download and Extract the TWRP recovery image to the "New Folder". Rename the "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hammerhead.img" to "Recovery". NOTE: It may ask you to overwrite the exisiting recovery image (if applicable). Select Ok/Yes
6) Open your Command Prompt (Windows) and type the following: (You can copy and paste if you'd like)
* cd..\..
* cd c:\(Your New Folder)
* fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
6) Let TWRP flash to your phone (Should take no more than ~10 secs).
7) Toggle your phone to "Recovery" by using the Voume Up/Down keys. Press the Power button to select/confirm.
8) Once TWRP has loaded, press the "Install" icon, followed by "Zip File", and proceed to the "Downloads" folder that you have the SuperUser v2.19 zip downloaded.
9) Select the zip and confirm by swiping at the bottom.
10) Reboot back to the "System"
11) Done
_______________________________________________________________________________
I tried to be as clear as I could with this write up, so I hope this makes sense. It really is straight forward.
Although I'm definitely not the one who came up with this method or files, I wanted to share what worked best for me to Root my N5 running the 5.0 OTA.
If this helped you get root back or makes sense, give a "Thanks".
Take it easy...
Thank you for posting this. I tried three other methods to get root back before this, and none of them worked. This one did the trick without any problems at all. Thanks again!

What part are you stuck at?
For me, I needed to erase cache for the TWRP to stick. Otherwise, when I rebooted it was gone and was using the default recovery.
Use the command:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
before
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
if you have the same problem installing TWRP.
I used chainfires auto root for the N5 (stock lollipop Boot loader). Worked great. Just download to a PC put phone into boot loader and run the bat file. I can't link but a quick google will find it for you.

Good find. Didn't happen to me, but i'm sure it may to others. Were you all set afterwards with Root?
Personally, I'm using the autoroot from chainfire. Works like a charm, no custom recovery is needed (I have the stock recovery).

Are you running the official lollipop release? It should work with that. Delete the app, and try again.
Just put your phone in bootloader and run cf-autoroot from windows if you dont want twrp.

Had the same issue and needed to flash the updated kernel from chainfire : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655047375
Why are you trying to do this the hard way? Just use chainfire's autoroot.
It works perfect and it's literally one command
fastboot boot CHautoroot.img (or whatever the file name is)
cf-auto-root is the way
I agree, just use cf-auto-root. You should be good to go in no time.
Just for FYI, if you already have unlocked bootloader, it won't wipe your data, if you are concerned.
CF-auto-root roots N5 without modifying your kernel. I believe, if you flash the SuperSU in TWRP, it would modify the kernel. It's nothing bad, but if you want to remain "stock" and don't want to reflash stock ROM later to get the OTA, just use "Full unroot" from SuperSU app and you are stock and ready for next OTA.
I have encrypted the storage on my Nexus 5. Will CF-Auto-Root wipe my storage?
