[Q] Flashing boot.img?

Hey Guys,
I am a noob when it comes to Vivid rooting. I was able to unlock the bootloader and root my phone (S-On). I flashed Virtuous Inquisition and had some problems such as with the Wifi. I read that because I was S-On, I should have flashed boot.img (and that should fix the problem). I am completely stuck as to what I should do right now. I am not too sure how to flash the boot.img or what to do since the rom was already flashed.
I appreciate all of your help in advance

Okay I typed everything you said into the prompt and it is stuck on the following:
< waiting for device >.
Am I supposed to do something on my phone? (such as boot into recovery)?

So if I want to flash the rom from scratch I have to flash boot.img, the kernel and then the .zip rom booting always in hboot? Can I flash the wcx recovery after all that?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I read the same post i think and so did as it said to extract the boot.img from the ROM and then follow the steps descrided as above however now i am stuck on the htc screen boot loop and cannot get out of it even by restoring my backup of the original rom that i made or installing the VI rom again?
How can I recover from this
Running a Sensation XE HBoot 1.27. everything went fine to root and install custom rom, only wanted to fix the Wifi issue on VI 4.0.2!!

you know this is for the vivid

Yeah I know I'm sorry for posting here but this is the only post that is talking about the same problem that I have been having, is the solution not similar?

to tell the truth i dont know have you tried asking in the sensation forum i am afraid i would cause more harm than good i dont know anything about your phone you didnt try to put a vivid rom on your phone did you

OK ,fe, was worth a try, will give the other forum a go. Thanks again

[RESOLVED] Bricked m7ul

Hello guys, I really messed up my phone.
I was trying to relock, and unroot my phone but it didnt go as planned.
Long story short, I cannot flash ANYTHING through CWM or TWRP (latest versions) and none of my files shows up in either of these recoveries. When i push a file through adb i get an error code on both. I believe that CWM said it cannot mount E:/SD Card.
I also have nothing to bootup to (bootloop)
I really need my phone and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just calm down buddy... This is the second thread you've made so far. Now I'm going to help you and I dont want any of your money. I just want you to agree on one term and that is to not make another thread about this.

That sucks balls MyMonkeyBalls..
Yeah, has happened to me too, I had to send in to get fixed, been 3 weeks so far.
Have a read over the forums for mine and others same issue, there are tips on how to fix but this is becoming very common at the moment, I can not offer any suggestions because everything i did did not work
Good luck

Nothing is showing up in Twrp or CWM its like i have nothing installed on my device. I have a constant bootloop with the cm10.2 boot animation.
I believe it all started going crazy when i tried to go back to stock and wipe the data (i did a factory reset from hboot as well as cwm)

Okay well that rules out the simple.
Now lets see if i understand the situation correctly. If you try to boot into system all you get is a CM bootloop and custom recovery's show an empty sdcard? You say adb commands dont work but have you tried fastboot commands in fastboot mode yet?
Try:
fastboot devices
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-recovery

Dude - he's done a factory reset from the bootloader which has wiped his virtual sd card. You basically need to format it back into a fat32 partition so the adb side load will work.

So what do I have to do sorry

I've done this before a long time ago now myself and was able to fix it because I could still boot into my rom and windows would offer to format it for me.
There used to be a guide in the One XL forum with a step by step even a youtube how to fix it - just trying to find it now.
Edit: Okay found it - full props to XsMagical for this fix.

It's for a One XL but the principle is the same as they both use Virtual SD Cards.
Make sure you're in the bootloader go into fastboot
Download the stock recovery from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v7byetxqc2ogzqq/recovery144.img
Make sure the downloaded image is in the same folder as your fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery144.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into bootloader and then choose Factory Reset - let that finish running
Go into fastboot
fastboot flash recovery <custom recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can go into recovery and try sideloading a rom and then flashing it.

Unlocked bootloader of LG L3 II E430

I haven't posted more than 10 posts so couldn't reply to threads in android development.
w w w.androidpit.com.br/pt/android/forum/thread/568275/LG-OPTIMUS-L5-TUTORIAL-DE-DESBLOQUEIO-DO-BOOTLOADER-CWM-E615-E615F-Agora-compativel-com-Jelly-Bean-4-1-2 Cannot post links btw
If you follow this guide in the link above to unlock bootloader, but do not try to flash recovery as this guide was written for other device (L5), you unlock your bootloader. Afterwards type adb shell su reboot bootloader and you end up at the LG logo. Typing fastboot devices reveals the lg phone.
Now you can flash recovery if someone builds cwm or twrp img for our phgone. YAY

mate but i can flash recovery and without fastboot

nice one but ehhh i wish
we know how to unlock it
we know all possible ways
we don't have the edited emmc_appsboot.bin for our device E430
if someone has this file cracked for E430 PLEASE COME UP HERE GIVE A LINK

can someone upload a working recovery to let me try and flash it with fastboot?

its automated cwm build but some errors occur you can try but do a full "dd" backup of partitions before
if it will not work it will wipe the phone
if you confirm unlocked bootloader (ro.secure=0) could please dump partitions 5 and 9 and upload them somewhere and post a link ?

I have done so many dirty kdz flashes that my apps partition seems to be getting smaller. Can someone tell me how to restore my e430 back to a clean pristine factory condition, maybe someone could tell me how to clean kdz flash?

[Q] Recovery Image

Has anyone been able to recover the recovery image for the Droid Turbo? In my dreams, i supposed the nexus 6 recovery twrp would work once rooted. I was wrong, and now no longer have a recovery.

@wrecklesswun, here you go. --> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B15sKU9JEz4CbHRzVVZvRFdRUGM/view?usp=sharing
You can restore it by putting the file on the root of your sd card and using a root shell. And entering.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilestock.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p36
OR
If youre lazy as long as you have adb installed you can download this extract it and click RunMe. It will restore stock recovery and then reboot you into recovery.

You can build TWRP for the Turbo and flash it all day. Wouldn't work though as it fails the signature checks from the boot loader. You need an unlocked boot loader for a custom recovery to work.

That's what I thought and was just confused why someone else said we could flash. *Shrug* is use my Turbo as a daily driver so I can't poke at it any like I did the DNA when we got that unlocked.

@aviwdoowks, yes exactly. He needed to restore the stock recovery on his turbo. Even with WP on as long as you're root you can dd an image to any partition other than system. I simply packaged shell, su request and dd commands into an executable bat file that flashed stock recovery.

The "fastboot boot recovery.img" is not supported in hboot 1.54 to 1.61 (was only supported in 1.44). So you can't boot a recovery you must flash it over your stock recovery using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-2-m7.img":
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-2-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then reboot in recovery mode.

Nandroid backup of? It depends what is included in the backup.... if the data partition is included and there were a lot of things saved on the phone then yes it can be really big.... Normally id say around 1.5 gb is normal when its a stock backup without any user data.

Was actually thinking of stock backup without user data.
Do i have to backup "Boot" also ? or only the "system".

Boot is the kernel and system is the OS. I would recommend to backup both of them. Boot isn't very big so it worth being backed up.

If you are going to use twrp's root make sure you have a recent twrp version otherwise it will flash an outdated SU version and cause a Bootloop. But yes it's a reliable method, if you prefer you can flash the latest supersu.zip file from twrp.

Stock recovery isn't included in a nandroid. What is your version-main number? Will try to find it for you.
