I have Imilika's AOSP ICS ROM V6,
I changed the buid.prop
ro.sf.lcd_density=213
for tablet mode. after I reboot, my GNote is not booting. I cannot go to recovery mode or download mode.
Please help. I don't know what to do
Got it
OK, I was really sad about what happens to my phone, but finally I managed to fix it .
As I told you, my phone was not booting to recovery or download modes (key combinations not worked). finally I try to connect to PC via USB and luckily my PC could detect my phone . So i realized that the problem is the display not coming but phone is halfway booted.
So, I tried to change my build.prop via adb but failed due to cannot grant root permission (becoz display is off).
Finally I issue a adb commad to reboot in recovery mode.
"adb reboot recovery"
yeah, that command directly take me to the CWM recovery. then I flash AOSP v6 again.
Now, my phone is working again.
P.S. I just note this down for others if they get same problem future !
I have question.. I don't understand the term adb. What that actually and why need that? I did so many flashing so far and I didn't use this adb yet!

If you don't know what ADB is, you probably shouldn't be flashing so regularly. Anyway, ADB stands for "Android Debug Bridge" and it is a protocol for device control, development, and debugging.

adb is a connection type. we can run shell commands (in the phone), file transfer via adb by using our PC. for that we should have to enable usb debug mode in our mobile.
Actually you might used adb, when you root your phone in the first place . If you have CF-Root zip file, just extract it. you will see a folder called "files", in there you can see adb.exe .
If you need test run,
connect phone via USB(make sure you've enabled USB debug), open command prompt, navigate to that "files" directory.
run "adb shell ls" (to run "ls" command in phone)
run "adb push <anyfile in the PC> /system/sdcard/" (copy files from PC to sdcard)
like that
OK now I got it.. But why do we need to push some file like this when we are able to transfer files like mass storage??? Or what else can be done??? Sorry for the basic questions..

Its functionality is not only to copy files from pc to mobile and vice versa.You can use it to get logs due to bad flashing,zip align apps,reboot into recovery,DL mode,normal reboot etc...

First I want to apologize for the double post (post in General)
I used odin to get froyo on the Captivate. That worked fine. When I try and root 2.2, the phone froze and now it won't get out of recovery mode. I have tried every combination I can think of to reboot the phone short of throwing it down the street, but I cannot get out of recovery mode. I am also unable to use the power button (ok key?) to select anything. I can use the volume keys fine for up and down.
One of the errors says:
"(Unknown error: 0) ensure_root_path_unmounted++
ensure_root_path_unmounted (/mnt/internal_sd)
ensure_root_path_unmounted ret 0
unmount(/mnt/internal_sd) attempt 1 (unknown error: 0)
Install default apk-files. finished.
Mind you, I have already tried to put the rooted 2.2 files on the sd card, but still to no avail. Any suggestions? I am really hoping this phone isn't rooted.
So you have a european firmware? Which one is it?
Sent from my phone so excuse the spelling errors
I just fixed it. Reinstalled the firmware with Odin and it's working fine now. Thank you.
dude how did you do that.. I have the same friggin issue and I can't fix it. I'm stuck in recovery mode all the time, as soon as I plug the phone in to charge, or plug it in the computer via usb, or push the power button, the damn thing goes into recovery mode and stays there. I can use the volume buttons to navigate up and down through the options and if I hold the power botton down long enough the phone will turn off and back on again. But if I press the power button once (as in select an option) it doesn't do anything. I tried every single option out there to get into download mode with the battery out and usb in and volume buttons then put bat in....etc nothing works. I need to get into download mode
anyone?................

What he said. Plus, I have had it happen sometimes that no matter what I always reboot into recovery. At that point I just adb reboot download and re-flash.
ok thanks. I know I said I have tried everything before but I wasn't completely truthful. I did try ADB though, but I don't think I was doing it right. I downloaded the SDK thing and started a command prompt from "start menue, accessories, and command prompt" but when I type the command "adb reboot download" nothing happens and the command prompt disappears. I don't have much experience with ADB, is there anyway you can give step by step instructions on how to do this? I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks
I found this thread on here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874" but still didn't help me much. Everytime I type cd c:\Android or any other command I get The system cannot find the path specified.
Here's what I do. After you download the sdk. There is a folder called tools. I copy that to c:
Then opencommand prompt and type,
C:
CD tools
adb reboot
Or, adb reboot download
Of course make sure your phone is connected via USB.

thanks I'll try that when I get home. I think this might take care of the problem, because I did keep the folder on the desktop and did not move it to C: folder. Although when I plug in the phone via USB, I still can't establish connection between phone and computer, but I will let you know how it goes after I get home tonight. and I did find some stuff about ADB through google so I might be able to do something with it tonight.
Thanks for the help though
Download odin one click, remove the battery, open odin, replace battery, hold down both volume buttons, and plug the usb cable in. That should get you to download mode unless your 3-button doesn't work.

Find the tools folder in the SDK you dowloaded and extracted, I found a shortcut to it scroll over the tools folder, hold the shift key and right click on the tools folder then choose open command window here.
When the command window opens type the command ADB shell then hit enter, then type adb reboot download then hit enter with your phone plugged into pc. This always works for me. You can always change the path by moving the folder directly to your c drive but this will work for you for now.

Adb recovery adb download ....on and on.....
I just got a captivate and i tried to put the phone in download mode to flash a new rom...no luck i tried the two and three button method...no luck. I also tried putting the phone in dl mode by using a command prompt...is there someone out there than can help a noob?
May need to give us some more specifics. I have only been able to get into download mode using the adb method. It may take you some time to get the drivers and everything communicating properly. Google and forum search are your friend.
1) Install the Android SDK.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Not sure if it's required, but I also have the android adb driver installed.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
2) Install the Samsung USB driver. Usually found at the link below, but they took the downloads down for some reason. (Is Samsung about to release an update?)
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I897ZKAATT
3) Enable USB debugging on phone and plug it in.
4) Navigate to your ../android-sdk-windows/tools/ directory in a command prompt.
5) Type "adb devices" without quotes and press enter. Should see your device listed.
6) Type "adb reboot download" without quotes. Good to go.
Try this... turn your phone off... turn on ODIN in PC... while holding BOTH volume buttons plug in the USB... you should be in download mode
My suggestion is to wait. Do a couple checks before you BRICK your phone. Check this thread for info, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784147
There is a wave of phones out now that have 2 or 3 button modes disabled, broken, or something, but they don't work and have caused hard bricks. Most have had to return their phones.
when i try to search for sdk through the command prompt thats in windows it keep saying it not recognized as a internal or external command...now what?

If you are brave enough to try, then here.
Download the SDK from google. Once done, you can upzip it and buried in there is a folder called Tools. I usually take that folder and copy it to the root of my C: on my pc. So it's, C:\tools.
Plug in your phone, make sure USB debugging is on. Open a cmd windows and cd C:\tools
Now in your command window you should be able to use ADB. adb reboot recovery, adb reboot download, adb shell, etc.
Again, I would verify 100% that my button method for recovery and download work before you start modding. If you soft brick your phone, and your buttons don't work, you are screwed. If buttons work you can recover from a soft brick. I have soft bricked my phone numerous times, I have never been able to get ADB to work, I ALWAYS have to use the buttons to get into download mode.
Can I put the phone in recovery mode using clockworkmod? It doess have to be download mode NOT recovery mode right?
Recovery mode is for installing update.zip files and wiping user data. Download mode is for flashing roms using Odin.
Moved to Q&A as this is not a development question.

if you are rooted then you can do the latter.
Have you gotten ADB to work?
The latest OTA updates fixes the issue with 3 button combos
Once you install the update, reboot, then try to get into recovery or download modes. Should be fine after the update
i just got my phone back after cracking the screen but i still cant get adb to work and i cant install clockworkmod because it will not let me connect to the server
can you help me fix this problem
after wipe all data, cache and anotherthing wipe (it's name very hard to remember ).
I cant use recovery mode, my phone can open fastboot and bootloader, but can't open recovery mode (it's only show a android logo when i press "recovery")
please help me (
I could be wrong, but you should be able to use adb to push a new recovery on to your phone.
Try plugging your phone thru USB cord to your computer to see if you can run any adb commands. If you can I think you should be able to push a new recovery to your phone.

but my phone cant connect with PC, atlthough i installed google usb driver.
i might be wrong but cant you just flash a original ruu, than root and reinstall recovery
#1)Go and download yourself a recovery.img file that is compatible with your device and put the image on the root of your SD card (that means on the main directory and not in a folder)
#2)Make sure you have a terminal emulator application installed from the market on your phone. If you don't...install one now.
#3)Open up your terminal and type in
Code:
su
to gain root access. If you are root the next line should show the
Code:
# symbol
#4)At the next line type in
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
you will need to replace the code that says name-of-recovery.img with the exact name of the file on your SD card.
#5)Hit enter, wait a few seconds and viola ! you have a recovery again.
Good luck man.

when i need to push files to my phone i directly enter the commend " adb push "
ot first i need to enter adb shell ?
Push is not used within shell. Shell is basically used to start a terminal emulator. Push/pull is used within cmd or terminal to treat your device as a remote location.

HI everyone, i have unlocked Mi Mix with EU Global ROM (rooted) and TWRP installed.
After the phone was playing up, I idiotically removed root and deleted Xposed, and it was OK, but tonight I tried to re-install originial ROM, and now can't do anything with the phone.
I can boot into TWRP, but when i try fastboot, the fastboor screen comes up for 20 seconds, then the phone boots to Mi logo, and nothing happens.
I can't get computer to recognize the phone so can't add new ROM - so unsure how to do anything now
Any help appreciated, thanks!
Jamie
Hello !! i think i can help you , well same thin happened to me and what i did was ----∑ Boot into recovery , plug your phone to computer , download Universal ADB Driver and when it detects Adb Composite click install . Then you will be able to unlock and use fastboot. Hope it helps if not im sorry , this is all i know. Good Luck !!!
If you are able to boot in to twrp why just install the original Chinese rom and start from scratch.

There is sdcard on Mix, then if you see internal storage you can copy rom on it then when u try to flash, navigate to this zip file...
Other u can flash using MiFlashTool using adb feature....

When you boot into TWRP, try "adb devices" on your PC. If it's read there, you can use the "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/" command to push the ROM to your phone and then install it.

Put your ROM in the same folder as your adb drivers folder. Hold shift while right clicking in this folder and choose "open command window here". Boot into TWRP and goto "advanced", then "adb sideload". Now write in the command prompt "adb devices". It should now show your device id and "sideload" after it. Write "adb sideload name of your rom.zip"
At least your phone isn't totally dead like mine. I powered mine off with a full charge and we to power it back on a little while later and it's totally dead now. Even Xiaomi Flash Tool won't let me flash anything. Sees the phone but won't let me flash anything. I get an error code. Xiaomi, via email says they can't service my phone because I'm in the USA. This will be my last Xiaomi phone. So pissed off
