What does it ask you to do next?

When you toggled to safe mode, which.toggle option did you select? One will back you up and the other one won't I don't believe.

I just did toggle safe system after done it says safe system is now enabled I would flash ics I think just want to reboot but just making sure I didn't screw anything up while in recovery

I didn't flash any roms just rooted running the exploit and then enabled toggle safe system so I should probably just reboot and be fine but I just want to make sure

Once you toggle to safe, then you flash ics. Even if it didn't back up your original system, the worst that should happen when going back to your normal system is that it will take you back to a fresh install and you will need to set your accounts back up and reinstall your apps

If you don't flash ics (or any rom) when your in safe mode and reboot your phone, it won't load because there isn't a version of android there.

flashed ics and it gave me bad/installation aborted going to try and transfer on sd card with my wifes phone with a fresh download see if that works and it should go onto external correct???

I believe I have mine in internal. I think you can install it from either location.
You may want to clear the cache and stystem data before flashing if you didn't. Sometimes that helps.

We need to make this statement a sticky.

my phone isnt coming up in the odin one click

im not using my regular computer because it isnt working right now so i dont have the drivers on this computer but i went to install them and either im not doing it right or it just isnt working. the computer stil doesnt recognize it

Question.
Question. You said you want clockwork and root. How about you flash Cyanogen Stable Mod 7.2? It has clockwork AND it comes pre-rooted so you dont have to worry about rooting the phone.

FIXEDDD...thanks for giving me the link to I897UCKK4...once i got that i was able to look for a video on youtube and did it through odin. i was unable how to figure out the KK4 root 1.1. but thank you guys for your help. my sd card was wiped when all this first happened unfortunately but ill livee. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!:good::good:

Messed Phone Up Question About T-Mobile

I messed my phone up tonight and got it stuck in a bootloop since there is currently no RUU out I'm left with no choice but to go back to the store. Does anyone know if T-Mobile stores have the stock RUU and can restore it?

Hold volume down while it bootloops. I guarantee you'll make it into hboot.

I made it to hboot the problem is I cant do a restore because i dont have the tmobile stock ruu, I have a nandroid but cant get it over to the device because im unable to transfer. I think the only solution is to get the ruu and restore

If your problem is transferring files, can you not go to recovery and use usb-ms (while attached to the computer) which will then open the memory of the phone on the computer. That's what I did to transfer stock ruu when I recently bricked my evo 4g.

I'm currently in the process of trying to push a nandroid backup to the device via adb. The problem is that there's no stock ruu for tmobile as of yet so the only choice I have is to recover via a nandroid.

no success at all, I'm gonna head to the tmobile store here in a few and see what I can get worked out

I just came back from the bell store, and they said that they could exchange me for a new one but they don't have any in stock until Tuesday.
I soft bricked my nexus devices dozen times in the past few years, and was easily restored to stock. Lesson learned by me, never root a non nexus device within 1 week of its release.

Why even bother? Just push a ROM, wipe system and data, then flash it.

You don't need a ruu. What did you do to get into a bootloop.

Have you tried a factory reset? Did you use a custom kernel?

I managed to fixed mine finally, Installed twrp and mounted my USB via otg. Then flashed a custom ROM, rebootef,still suck at the boot screen. Flashed a custom kernel, and it finally got passed the boot screen.
So happy to get my One back up and running again.

had this problem. i sideloaded a rom on and then it was fine. use the m7 all in one to sideload from recovery and it should work fine.

[Q] stuck in bootloop

while trying to get a recovery to work with no avail, i wiped cache and did a factory reset and now i am in a boot loop. wish i could remove the freaking battery. just got my phone today and the first thing i did was updated to sense 4.3. I then unlocked the bootloader successfully. I started having problems with flashing a recovery even though the bootloader said unlocked and tampered. twrp would not boot, but i got cwm to boot. the problem on cwm was i didnt have access to all the folders like the downloads folder that had the su zip. I did have avast already installed while i was trying to root(going to activate antitheft once rooted) i thought avast might be the problem so i uninstalled went back into recovery wiped cache and did a factory reset hoping cwm would access the folder i need nope. so i was calling it a night and booted up the phone and now it is STUCK. It was easier rooting my evo 3d with brick method. PLEASE HELP ASAP

Did the instructions I sent end up working?

none of the recoveries will mount to anything but thank you for your help hopefully the RUU works

There is no RUU for 4.3 yet.

How do I check if phone has a custom recovery?

Bought a used G2, it is unrooted and running stock 12B. The standard procedure for booting into recovery is to go into hard reset mode and continue. If there's a custom recovery phone will boot into that.
But if there isn't, it will actually do a full reset and lose all my data which I don't want to.
How can I check if phone has stock recovery on it?

if you didn't instal one then you don't have one.

Correct. From what I've read there's NO way to do this without risking a wipe.

Ummm... Can't you just turn on USB Debugging and execute 'adb reboot recovery'? You will either get custom recovery or the android dude with an open chest plate, should know pretty quick.

A terminal emulator should do the trick too for what its worth . .

Try flashify from the playstore,it's free.it's actually a nice app to have, and it will definitely let you know if you have a custom recovery. Not sure if it's a root only app though.
