please help guys,
ri8 now m on CM7,
but,want to get back to the stock stage(2.2.2) v10b
i've tried NVflash and smartflash as well,
nothing has worked
is there any other way to get the stock rom back.
(i do have the stock rom back ups but through CWM is denying the restore comand...shows md5 doesnt match)
Try the modaco roms, those can be flashed from recovery n are based on official roms so they are definitely stable

hey thanx mate...
yeahh...even i was about to opt for that...
but the thing is i am not sure weather CWM will be able to flash them...
which modaco would u suggest???
and one more thing,after 20 trials of 'smartflash' 21st has worked...it showed the msg 'download complete' after 3 minutes and has rebooted itself !!!!
but,when i insurt the battery and restart it my CM7 was still there !!!! :-O
I flashed back to the original rom, downloaded the original stock rom from this forum.

The only modaco Rom tt you can get off modaco is the vanilla version. You can also get edited modacos off xda, I'm using 1 now myself but I can't remember which
Also on this Rom I can't run plants vs zombies, I'm considering to go back to cm7 currently

Why are you unable to use nvflash?
(assuming you're using windows vista or windows 7)Instead of just running flash.bat directly, have you tried running it from a command prompt? To open command prompt on the nvflash folder, hold down shift, right click and select open command window here. then run flash.bat and post your error message if you get any.
I also assume you have correct drivers installed (check device manager).
If you are connecting the phone via usb hub, front panel or extension cable, connect it directly to a back panel usb port.
Is this the one you have used?

Revert back to ext3 and flash back You still on ext4
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Run cmd and cd into the nvflash directory.
or you can download "Open Command Window Here" powertoy from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp
and you will get an entry on folder right click menu to open a prompt on that folder.
Then run nvflash from cmd and post the results here if you get an error.
The reason why you should run it from cmd and not run the bat directly is that if it's not programmed to halt on error, it will just disappear without any notice. If you run it from cmd you will see any errors it will throw.

Run the setup dcs in the Android ask folder and make sure you do it as admin in Vista and 7. You'll probably have to force http in options, most people do.

what fixed it?
I've had this phone since its launch, but I'm now encountering this strange problem.
While I can get into Download Mode without difficulty, I have an issue with connecting it to my PC. While it'll pick it up fine while the phone is in recovery or normal modes, DL mode causes it to give me this error, thus blocking Odin and my chances of returning it to stock.
I desperately need to flash my way out of this battery-draining and unstable OC/UV kernel, but Odin won't recognize it because Windows won't recognize it.
I am using Win7 x64 and WinXP x86, both with appropriate drivers and both not working and having the same issue.
CWM is similarly failing to work, producing a "failed to chown" something or other. Is my phone basically gone at this point?
My suggestion is to reinstall the drivers for the device and if cwm is not working right then use rom manager to install another version of it and if that doesn't work im pretty sure in the development section u can dl the update file with cwm on it

If ur trying to flash a new rom I've had this problem before the reason it isn't working is u need to flash back to stock first before u can install a new rom but it will work if u want to flash the same rom over the one u have something to do with the kernel I believe not quite sure but the way I've fixed that is to flash back to stock before flashing a new rom
Edit:::: or u need to disable lagfix by putting a file in ur root folder named disable-lagfix

if you read his original post, he can't get his pc to recognize the phone in download mode. big problem.

Have your tried different usb ports. If you are using a pc try the port in the rear of your tower.
Are you using oem usb cord?
Have you tried running odin as administrator
Where did you get the drivers from
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I've had this happen and I was pissed. No matter what I did, my computer would not see this phone and the phone was bricked with cognition. So I don't know exactly what I did BUT this comes close. Uninstall keys and go to control panel and unistall any samsung drivers. Restart computer. Install only the samsung drivers found on the samsung support page at the official samsung website. And then try putting it in download mode again. I seriously spent 7 hours on getting this to work. If this doesn't work.then you need to find the right drivers. I know there's like 3 different driver packages and kies that have the ring one, but some just completely mess you up. So.find the right one with the right drivers. Good luck! Oh and have patience, that's key.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Okay, I'll take your advice. I thought I tried every combination of installing and uninstalling until I nearly ripped my hair out. I tried patching the GPS and it totally boned all GPS functionality, so reverting to stock is apparently my only option... and my phone isn't recognized in download mode. So I guess a few more uninstalls and restarts and we'll see if I blow my brains out today...
Yeah. I just uninstalled Kies, Samsung Drivers, and Samsung New PC Studio. I rebooted twice, and then reinstalled the drivers (from the OP, which are identical to the ones on the Samsung site) and rebooted.
Guess what? No effing luck. Nothing shows up in Odin (remove battery, run odin, plug cable in, plug phone in, return battery and enter download mode) and my taskbar tells me that "A USB Device has malfunctioned and is not recognized."
What the HELL is going on? There are several people with this problem and nobody seems to have an answer that isn't "buhhh you have the wrong drivers."
I had this issue, used a different computer and it worked. I did have to try multiple drivers to get it to work though.
What usb jack are you using
Have you tried running ofin as administrator
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
CHECK OUT THIS POST FROM SteveVHT ON THE ANDROID FORMS:
Had this problem this past week.
You need to uninstall all Samsung software and drivers completely. Do this the normal way through Control Panel.
After that, you need to go into your registry and delete all Samsung folders.
You open up Regedit in Windows
Then go to HKEY CURRENT USER, Expand that (+), expand Software
and delete the Samsung folder
Do the same for HKEY LOCAL MACHINE
When you simply uninstall Samsung stuff, it leaves a bunch of junk in the registry of the computer even after uninstall.
Reboot the computer with no phone attached.
Download the Samsung update from Sprint
http://www6.sprint.com/downloads/samsung/executables/SamsungMoment_Update.exe
Install the updater. After its installed, right click the SWUpgrade and run as administrator....Follow all on screen instructions, and you should be good.
If you do not need the updater, then you can skip the software install and just download the drivers for the phone from the SDX forum. Just do a search.
But I suggest you do it this way, it was the only thing that worked for me...
Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Hope this helps

Same problem here. Windows 7 will not detect my phone in download mode. I have tried every set of drivers out there. Detects it in regular (mass storage), and USB debugging mode though.

I don't believe this to be a problem with Odin (even though I tried that method). Odin picks it up perfectly fine while in USB debugging mode. Windows simply will not pick it up when it enters download mode.
Any other mode Windows will "chime" when the phone is connected. Download mode doesn't do anything. No sound, chime, icon, nothing....

The Superboot root method boot.img for 2.3.2 is now live thanks to Paul over at Android @ MoDaCo.
"Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition, no need to use ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just flash the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!"
Using Superboot
- Download the zip file and extract
- Connect Nexus S via USB cable (with debugging enabled - Settings->Applications->Development->Check "USB Debuggging")
- Boot into bootloader mode - (Turn on while holding 'volume up')
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
*Again, All credit goes to Paul at Android @ MoDaCo*
Cool I'm rooted already but nice to see easier ways of doing it for the noobs. Appreciate the work.

Figures. The answer was staring me in the face the whole time. I think I even remember unlocking it last time I rooted this way. I guess I should just leave it permanently unlocked then so it doesn't keep wiping every time I go to root after an update.

Extract it on you're desktop
Rename the Extracted file to Nexus (thats what I name it)
youre device needs to have the bootlader Unlocked.
Open Terminal and type
cd desktop
cd nexus

./install-superboot-mac.sh (press enter)
then you're done. hope this helps.

Simply amazing! Thanks for the breakdown.
I recently purchased an LG Phoenix by At&t, the problem I have is that I cannot leave ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
I rooted it, restarted in recovery. and everything worked fine. I then upgraded my firmware, not sure what version though.. I backed up my phone before I upgraded into the new firmware. I then backedup my phone because it rebooted into recovery. Now everytime it boots it goes straight to Clockwork and I cant get out of it. I restored to my previous restore and it still doesn't work. What could I do? Should I install cwr 3? I read that cwr 5 has bugs and is known to brick phones..
Edit: Also the phone without the sd card still boots into clockworkmod menu
I have a ROM(Phoenix ULTIMATE) I'd like to flash but I'm not sure if I should right now considering I'm stuck at this menu.
Info- in my restores It says;
2011-10-04.21.37.48/
2011-10-04.21.56.13/
I'v tried both.
Another edit with potentially important info getting an error stating;
E: bad boot message "recovery"
Sorry If this is a n00b post.. I'm in sort of a rush because I'm moving in a few hours!
Edit; tried flashing the phoenix, didnt work.
installation was aborted
said i needed to switch to Edify scripting, and amend scripting is no longer supported.
What could I flash too to fix this, please help. I don't care if I lose data. Just need my phone back soon.
I have android SDK.
I was reading up on http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874 here
Would I be-able to push somesort of boot file or firmware to my phone? Or something in that manner?
THIS:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Seems to be perfect for what I should try, where could I get the stock imgs for my phone? (p505)
I moved this here temporarily for you to be assisted...after that it will be moved beck to the right forum

All you need now is platform-tools . The rest can be cancelled .
Use cmd (best if used with administrative rights) to navigate to the Android SDK folder , then to platform-tools .
Once you get there , connect your phone through USB then don't touch it .

I opened the cmd, I'm not really suer where I installed SDK but I'm pretty sure it was c:\program files\android\android-sdk\tools
That seemed to work, whenever i type adb shell it says abd is not recognized as an internal or external command, program or batch.
I need more detail because I'm a noob. :/

EDIT: GOTIT! got the dir, i typed adb and it says device not found should i connect my phone correct?
Edit: okay,i did that, it just rebooted my phone and it went back into the CWR.. :c wut now?
Are you able to try and boot into bootloader? Try that. Also, try and flash a new ROM in recovery, test to see if it may be the ROM. Don't be afraid to backup again, you can always access the backups based on date.

What's bootloader?
I tried to flash my backups before the firmware update and it didn't work, I also can't find any wp505 roms.. I found a few but they wont help in my situation. Do you know any? My rom is stock as I only rooted and got stuck in cwr.
Thanks!
EDIT: I did do that adb shell, reboot bootloader, didnt work.

First off, not to lecture you...but you definitely should look into these kind of things before flashing a ROM.
I haven't looked at the ROMs so I'm not sure. But whatever fancies you, it's just to troubleshoot the problem. The problem itself may actually be the recovery. Do you know how to do logcats in ADB? Try and do a logcat and boot up your device while connected to ADB.
So go "adb logcat". This should show you exactly what your device is doing. When it runs and goes straight to recovery paste all that information into a .txt document and upload it onto xda so others can take a look.
I'll try and help more tomorrow but I have to get some rest. Good luck on getting this fixed.

Good Morning,
I installed Wajee DeSensed Rom on my HTC Vivid. It's my first ROM (cherry-popped).
I am S-ON.
I'm trying to find my way around and figure out how/what is different and how I do what I do.
The Wifi isnt working, it just gets stuck in turning on.
I read in the Devs forum that I have to flashboot the boot.img from the Zip.
How do I get to the boot menu on this Rom?
EDIT - I got to boot menu using Hasoon Toolkit but how EXACTLY do I manually flashboot the boot.img? Where does the boot.img need to be? I put in on my c drive, connected my phone to computer and at dos prompt typed 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' and my computer responded "fastboot is not recognized command"
I installed this ROM by using ROM Manager with TWRP backup.
After Roms are installed how do I get back all my apps and data that I backed up? I backed it all up with Titanium Backup. I also have app-backup and restore. Do I have to go back to store and re-download those two apps and then use those same programs to get the rest of my stuff back?
Thanks all
EDIT --
--Figured out that when I hold power button and go to reboot it asks if I want to got bootloader or recovery - Woo_hoo
--Now figured out that I need to have fastboot program installed on my computer. -- Did that but still nothing, Trying to reboot computer as env variables may not be pickud up dynamically in Win?
--flashed the kernel or installed boot.img again via Hasoon kit. Installed the ROM again this time just doing a Davlik cache(WTF is this - I have no idea) and rebooted, still no Wifi
Open a cmd window by right clicking in the folder and hit " open cmd window here". Then type fastboot flash boot boot.img.

Hmmm?
When I right click in a folder I get:
View, Sort By, Group By, Refresh,Customize this Folder...,Paste,Paste Shortcut,Undo Copy, Share With, (Some SVN stuff), New,Properties
but no "open cmd window here"
I'm on Windows 7
It should be there. Try right clicking on boot.img and see if it appears

It appears that we're talking about different places.
When I go to my Windows machine and rightclick on a folder or file I dont get what you get.
It appears that you might be doing it on a Mac or you're doing it right from your phone.
I don't know how to navigate to a directory on my phone without ES File explorer or Astro. Even if I could get there does it mean I need some sort of terminal emulator program installed on my phone too to be able to run the fastboot command.
Thanks for your replies.
EDIT -- Found this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270 about boot.img.
It worked when I put the boot.img into the same directory where fastboot.exe was located. more importantly Wifi now works. Thanks again for your replies -- I get by with a little help from my friends

Now that I got Wifi working I need to understand about getting all my apps/games etc loaded back since I installed a new ROM. I have a Titanium Backup on SD card. Do I need to go back into Play Store and redownload Titanium Backup and/or App Backup and Restore and then get all my stuff back? Is that the easiest way? I cant imagine that after loading a new ROM you have to go get all your ish over and over again.
Thanks all
