If your phone still works, you can adb into recovery
or else grab a JIG

You should still be able to boot into cwm by holding power and Vol down. After that reflash your ROM, or restore a backup you made. Then you should be good to go

[Q] Help!

I was trying to flash the stock rom back over GV2.0 and something got hosed and I ended up with what looked like Stock v7....but I still have SU, but no CWM.
So I installed CWM from the marketplace, then tried to book into recovery from there, but now it won't go past the "LG" screen.
What can I do to fix this??
Even after I try to wipe it by holding down the power and volume down buttons, it still just stays on the LG screen.....

You cant install cwm from market, you cant install cwm from rom manager because it technically does not exist for this phone you can however install cwm using mts allinone...found in dev section. if rooted then follow mts easiest way to update to zv8 rooted in dev section

There'd be no point in installing cwm atm because he needs help to get his phone out of what he did which when he does he'll be in test mode. OP try contacting mtmichaelson or going to the irc chat #lgrevolution

Yeah I did. Here is a screenshot from LGNPST after I get it installed, is this how it's supposed to look?

Ended up giving up (I don't think my phone was even booting far enough for LGNPST to discover it via USB).
I went into my Verizon store, played stupid, and am now getting a new (aka: refurbished) Revolution.

[Q] Help, Please

HTC One
Sprint
HBOOT 1.55
S [ON]
OS 3.04.651.2
Problem: Friend thought it would be cool to put Android Revolution HD on my HTC One since he did it on his and wanted to surprise me with it...
Long story short he did, and now I have a soft bricked device. I've tried pushing a stock and a custom ROM through ADB sideload and I end up with a phone that acts like it is going to work, gets to the lock screen and freezes. It has no service but that's irrelevant because I can't even get past the lock screen. I can however use my volume key to raise and lower volume.
Can anyone get me past this or am I screwed till a new RUU comes out/way to get S [OFF] after hitting 1.55?

Thanks so much for the reply, I'll give it a shot. I'm desperate right now willing to try anything.
Also forgot to mention the boot animation does fine, the phone acts like it's going to work fine then it just plain freezes where it would normally give you the "sign into google account" and name your phone. So I'm not sure what's missing if anything, if anyone has solved this and is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it.
Your partitions are messed up because he flashed a GSM rom on your CDMA device

Yeah, exactly. Is there any way I can go about fixing that? I'm checking out that guys thread, and it sounds promising... but I can't figure out how to get my drive to sync with my PC to transfer it to TWRP to install it. I'm going to try to ADB it but I doubt that will work. Starting to lose hope at the moment lol but trying to stay optimistic.

Only way to fix the partitions is to run an RUU which we don't have.
Is your phone seen by your PC when it's plugged in and booted to the rom? I know it doesn't boot correctly but maybe you can move the file to your phone.
You could also try adb push nameoffile.zip /sdcard/ most likely won't work because of the partitions
Format with TWRP first to get partitions clean, then adb push Rom/sideload

I'm pretty sure the radio partition get overwritten as well so I would say format sd in twrp, flash a radio in fastboot then sideload your Rom and flash it

Thanks for the replies guys, going to try that now. It feels like entire ROM would work fine and there was just "something missing" from my phone. It may very well be a radio. I know something got wiped that shouldn't have because I had to do partition reset due to... well I'm sure you know. Also had to side load TWRP. Learning experience for me, not frustrated at least I'm getting knowledge to help others with it if I can solve it on my own.
Okay so, reporting back that FIXED my no service issue, and it's bringing up updates in the notification bar, only problem is I can't use the touch interface. I don't think my phone is broken, I think it just lacks everything that makes it a smartphone.
Anyone have an idea as to what I can flash to get it back up and running? It feels like it's missing touch interface, and whatever is needed to initiate the "factory" setup screens. Shouldn't the ROM include all of that? I put Viper ROM 1 on there. Progress was made, but it's missing something lol.
The radio also stopped it from resetting and turning itself off after 30 seconds like it was doing previously. Is there a flash-able touch interface I can throw on it? Heh...
Also noticed after it was plugged in for a couple of minutes it's detected by my PC now so I don't need to side-load anymore. Not that it was hard to, just a step forward I think. Just need to figure out what's missing from the boot screen and what I need to put on it to be able to use the touch screen. Any ideas?

New firmware had updated touch drivers. That's why your touch screen wasn't working right.

Since you're on the newest firmware you can only flash 4.3 sprint roms..the touchscreen firmware has been updated. You can't downgrade or s-off because you're on hboot 1.55. Just sideload a 4.3 Rom and you'll be up and running fine

If phone doesn't boot...

Well, I was browsing around the market and my n5 just abruptly shut itself off. It hasn't been able to turn back on since. I've tried every key/charge/magic trick in the book so its DEAD!
Happy to jump in the RMA line at this point but was wondering if any others can confirm DEAD devices. The RMA thread is kinda full of nitpick issues but a dead device is a dead device.
This was the only discussion chain I could find on the issue but maybe someone from google will comment on dead devices. lol
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/lI6A3fA8bvw/d3eQlqEqabEJ
EDIT:
so it appears holding down both volume buttons + power while it's plugged in to the charger (not USB to PC) will temporarily boot the phone. You can then do a restore to stock and issue gets fixed. :good:
Damn. That blows.

Ya I got an RMA setup but I've been tryin to turn it on ever since. I managed to figure out it will turn on ONLY when it's plugged in and holding down BOTH volume buttons and power. It will bring up the bootloader and from there I can go into recovery, START (os) but reboot options freeze it again. It's really weird, it won't start by doing the same procedure without the power plugged in. It's like it doesn't want to boot on its own cuz it thinks it's dead? Funny thing is the battery says 100%+ in TWRP.
Since I was able to get it booted tethered to the power I'm going to have it drain the battery to dead and see if it resets itself or something. Maybe a bad idea but I guess I don't care at this point it's already RMAd and I don't know what else to try. lol

There is a stock rom in here somewhere. Flash it boot loader and see what happens.

Why wouldn't you? In situations like this, it is extremely helpful. Do you expect him to install CWM or something? From my understanding, at least when I first got my phone and flash a custom recovery, CWM wasn't booting. If you are here to try and press your opinion on which custom recovery you prefer, go to their official thread.

Yep all good now. No explanation to why this happened but recreating the fs and flashing stock seems to have resolved the issue.
