Guys, I don't have the original image and the only image I have on my SDcard is eclair 2.0-1.2
I am just upset with the OP for providing insufficient instructions and I am very unaware of the previous setup required before doing it so.
I am in recovery mode and my G1 keeps rebooting over and over since I wipe the factory default.
I apologize for not using the search button because I don't see any answers, or maybe I just want direct answer.
Sorry, I have to ask this, how do I recover the image on my G1? I have it connected to my PC but it's currently in recovery mode right now.
Please provide me detailed step to step what I need to do. Thank you for your time and effort, this is upsetting me big time.

Stop blaming the guys making the ROMS for your own F-up.

Don't blame them for the fact you didn't read THIS :

You should be upset at yourself for not reading the clear instructions that are inherent in nearly every ROM update procedure. READ the instructions.

Searching forums before diving blindly into processes like these will certainly save you frustration and a bricked device. Again, blaming someone else for your laziness isn't exactly the route you should take.

Since you're too cocky and too ignorant to do most of the things on here, I suggest you put your phone back to stock as soon as you figure out how to flash images. Get the "recovery image" from here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html, then go ahead and get a card reader, drop the file on the reader, rename it update.zip, boot into recovery, alt+s to flash it, alt+w to wipe, then reboot.

ok then go here and set up adb after u done follow the link in my sig to flash RA 1.5.2 recovery. After u get RA recovery find the rom u need to flash id suggest Cyans rom or WG and make sure ur SPL and RAdio is uptodate.
Good luck.

Hi everyone! I have a huge problem here, which I would really appreciate your help!
So I got a brand new LG Thrill 4G AT&T. I root it with one click. I Bought the code to unlock it and I was using it with T-mobile. So I had a couple of wonderful days until I start messing around with my rom. The first to say is that I install the rom manager and installed the Clockworkmod recovery to download new roms. I didn't get it at the moment, but when the app prompted me to choose the model of my phone I chose "LG 2X". My phone freeze so I restart it (worst decision ever!). So here i go, turn back on my phone, and I noticed after 5 minutes of booting, that I don't go beyond the LG Logo.
I've trying everything I found in these forums without any success. I started with a wipe factory reset, with gives an error of E:can't mount recovery log, so It doesn't work.
My recovery doesn't have the option to install from zip
I'm working on this process right now without any success yet

Today I tried to flash my device after this official Guideline (if you want to call it official):
wiki.cyanogenmod.com: Samsung_Galaxy_Note:_Full_Update_Guide
Now I know that it is out-of-date: 5th June 2012 But now it's to late.
The first steps worked fine. As flashing method I choosed Method via Recovery. I bravely followed this guide and made a factory reset and wiped the cache.
I flashed my HTC Desire several times before so I wasn't really feared. I just wondered to find the update.zip in the internal sd folder. It then rebooted but didn't come to an end. I started it new. Nothing changed. (Here is the point I should have posted this, but it's gone.) I started back at Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery point 2. Windows only. Nothing changed.
So I started to panick, got here, read this and that, the panick reased... and this still goes on.
Now I am here and pleading for help.
It still trys to start through, and I waited long enough.
First, how can I check for an MMC brick and second, what is your advise for me?
Please, please help me. I was stupid, I thought I knew what to do. Please tell me how to do better next time.

I did what was mentioned in the second line (the the wiki page with this title.
Also I must say, the theme is done, but thank for your interest. After a sleepless night ( Smartphone of a friend) I fixed it with the help of Dr.Ketan and a few threads he told to use.
It would be wonderful if anyone could fix the wikipage from Cyanogenmod. I think a wipe date/facotry reset befor the restart would do(last line Method via Recovery). But as for the fact that I needed help to get it done, I think I am not the right person to change this in this guide as a noob.
Hey there! I am like the biggest noob on XDA, but i really need help. I have rooted my Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D (File Provided if anyone is in need of it) and now I need help with getting ClockWork Recovery to work on it. I will also attach the .zip file that I used. I get a Status 7 Error.
I have done a lot of research on this topic, and found out that Status 7 Errors are because the recovery i was trying to flash is not 'compatible' with my S5830D. So this is where I need help. I need to find out what ClockWork Recovery I should use for my Galaxy Ace Gt-S5830D.
* Phone Info:
My phone is the : Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D
Android Version: 2.3.4
Phone Carrier: Koodo (My phone is unlocked though)
Region: Canada
Other Info: I had my phone previously rooted, and flashed ClockWork Recovery that was modified by my friend so I dont get Status 7 Errors. But I would keep getting messages like "Cant Open (file name)" or "Cant Mount (file name)" when i booted into recovery. I thought that was normal, and tried to flash a Custom Rom ( also modified by my friend), I dont really remember what it was called maybe like PAC or something. And so I bricked my phone.... Then recovered it by ODIN.
** What I am trying to achieve is to flash a custom ROM on my phone, because I dont really like the GingerBRead feel. I love the Ice Cream Sandwich feel. I have used launchers, such as Go Launcher, ADW Launcher, Holo Launcher, but they slow down my phone so much im getting really annoyed.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply! The problem is, this CWM file you gave me is exactly the same as I used. I got a Status 7 Error.
As stated before, I had CWM on my phone before. I achieved it by my friend modifying it.
Status 7 Errors occur because of whatever you are trying to flash goes through this process to check the phone's model or something.

The problem that occurred after my friend modifying the file was that, i get messages like "Cant Open (some file directory)" or Cant Mount (some file directory)".

well. I'm gonna explain my post... I think your SD-CARD is corrupted and your attached files too so format YOUR SD-CARD, NOT YOUR PHONE!! then download the files in the link I posted at first and try again!
Use an USB sd-card reader in order to format your sdcard
Right?

Well to ask for the best rom or similar questions is NOT allowed in xda forums, you can try the last Mardon's built, but CM roms are worse than stock's rom (in my opinion), STOCK=STABLE=LONG BATTERY LIFE=NO RAMDOM REBOOTS=NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, so you need to decide how do you use your phone and how would you like to use it.
If I'm not wrong D model is the same as 5830 model so no problem if you flash whatever 5830 custom rom, the only could be the modem band, you could face problems with it.

Oh thanks for the reply I will take a look at the thread you linked.
I use my phone to make phone calls and or texting. But I need the look and feel of JellyBean that's all.
Hi guys,
sorry for bothering you guys, but at this point i'm pretty much desperate. I tried to root my Xperia Z since it brings oh so many wonderful possibilities with it and i was sick watching at all the bloatware floating around my screen. Anyway. Since i'm a total noob when it comes to phones i have been reading quite a lot of confusing stuff on the internet, especially here as this site was recommended to me by a friend.
Now i do have a bit of experience flashing PSPs and such, so i thought "you're not a total moron, how much more difficult could flashing your phone be ?". Guess i was wrong =)
I followed this instruction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs2iPY0J4ZA
Yeah, i know, it's a video and all. But the thing is. I've by now read different guides all explaining the same thing. And every one of them put things differently, most of them claiming it was totally easy, but most missed a few steps. So i thought a step by step video tutorial would be quite easy to follow. And it kinda was, until ...
The unlocking failed. At the point where it was supposed to say "unlocked successfully", nothing happened. Just the cmd-line and then "---", which from my knowledge stands for "proceeding". To me it was stuck. And it kept standing there for about half an hour, when impatiance kicked in. Yeah, im dumb like that. So i close the cmd and tried to reboot my phone and got a bootloop just after the logo.
So i went into fastboot again and basically tried to unlock it again. This time successfully only after a few seconds (i guess this is how it's supposed to be, since that's what it was like in the video.) Still bootlooping though.
Now at this point i'm frantically troubleshooting and kinda feel like a monkey with a wrench. It should work, but maybe i'm just doing it totally wrong, since i don't know better.
So at this point, from reading even more stuff i'm trying to flash a stock firmware onto that thing by using flashtool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907). This is the firmware i found from that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216743 .
Now before i make things even worse. Is there anything wrong with my approach, do i need to think about anything else ?
The idea in the first place was to install this: http://www.cyanfox-rom.com/2014/01/01/cyanfox-2-0-2/
In that regard, would that be the right thing to do now ?
If you've read this far, thank you for your time and dedication to help. I really appreciate it. If you need any more information as to what i've done, don't hesitate to ask. Chances are im lurking around desperately.
First, dont worry, your phone can be repaired with flashtool. You can download flashtool (find it on Xperia Z android development section) and download FTF firmware for your phone, 4.3 is newest. and just follow simple instructions how to flash (cant search now for the link)
If you want to use 4.3 and to be rooted you must first flash 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware and then follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2458268
Thanks a lot. Flashing worked like a charm.
However the info still says: "Bootloader unlocking allowed=Yes". From my understanding that means it's still locked ? So it's back to square one ? Add frustration to depair now... seems like i don't understand the process or something...

It's not working. Went into fastboot again, unlocked, this time successfully in 1.0s. And again bootlooping.
What am i doing wrong ? I just don't get it. From my understanding it should work normally and i should be able to proceed to root. And this would require me to start the device normally in the first place right ? Im on here right now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327472
But to be perfectly honest, at this point i'm guessing here. :crying:
Okay, next try, same experience. Do i need to do anything else after the unlocking ?
Do i have to reboot and just go into that root thingy and start the runme.bat ? Edit: Which isn't even possible since i can't boot.
OR do i need to flash kernel and stuff.
These are basically the 2 options that i found and i'm totally confused about which one i need to do as to me both are exclusive of the other ? I think i need to solve that bootloop issue in the first place, right ?
I think it's absolutely clear that i need help with this stuff
Hours later i'm still trying to get this working. However it just doesn't. Bootloop keeps happening.
Since i don't know if i made a mistake or not, i just chose to try to go on about the rooting. This doesn't work either. I tried to do it like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154310
From my understanding it's for the .350 fw,but also works for the one stock rom i downloaded earlier ? Can anyone confirm that ? I'm just guessing here, since there is no explicit information about that for noobs like me. At least i didn't find it.
Well anyway. I ran fastboot flash boot auto root blabla... and this is what it tells me:
sending boot... okay
writing boot... failed (command not allowed)
WHY ? Does this have anything to do with the unlocking process before ? Did it fail ? Am i just using the wrong fw ? Any pointers as to what i'm doing wrong here ?
I know i cannot demand any help, since you don't really get anything for it, but it really drives me crazy. So any help is highly appreciated. So please... pretty please ! Thanks in advance.

Thanks, might try that one if everything else fails. This is still a stock rom build with all the bloatware right ?
However i am trying to get to install Cyanfox (see a few posts ago). To my understanding an unlocked bootloader and root are both required.
Just to my understanding, does that mean, that my unlocking the bootloader failed ? Or why isn't it showing an unlocked bootloader in the Config ? Sorry if i am asking dumb questions, but i seem to be stuck and i'd really like to understand what i'm doing wrong.
Tomorrow a friend of mine will try to help me with all that, since he has some experience with customs on his phone (a S3 i believe). So he told me that he has no experience with the Xperia Z. I'll also would like to show him this thread for additional info. So if there's anything you can throw at us, that might help, please go ahead. Again, i appreciate your help.
Hi, I would try and get back to stock if possible..
You might want to download Sony Update Service and connect your phone up through that. If your bootloader is unlocked, then SUS wont let you go any further but if you are locked you will be able to repair firmware back to stock...
Please dont take this the wrong way but if you are new to flashing ROMs then it might be better for you to take things one step at a time.
What I mean is start off by just getting used to rooting stock ,, then try flashing custom roms when you feel more confident with the process and after you have tried flashing a few custom ROMs to see which one you like best (there are some great ROMs for locked bootloaders out there), If you really want to unlock bootloader then go ahead...
It just seems like trying to root, flash ROM and unlock bootloader all in one hit just multiplies the likelyhood of errors occuring and it can be difficult to pinpoint at what stage it went wrong..
Good luck ...

I think that hit the nail on the spot =)
Thing is, i am a really impatient guy, which isn't the best trait when "taking it slow". It's more like "i want the best, and i want it now"
Of course what's best can't be answered objectively and i can't pinpoint why i decided on that specific rom, but it looked awesome to me, so i just went for it and tried to read up everything i need to know to make it work I just didn't expect to fail at the very first step... that's kinda very very frustrating.
Anyway, i'll see what we can get done tomorrow and make sure to report back. Again, thanks a bunch !
Sooo, aparently i made a mistake in the cmd line. We don't really know what i did wrong, since the KEY was correct, although i wrote ".exe", my friend didn't, and instead of typing it letter by letter, he copied it (i didn't know how, lol). And it worked at first try, no idea what i did wrong. So that's done.
Rooting was also easy. Sadly we couldn't go on at this point, since i had to download a few more things first. So after that, i'm on my own again and, who would have thought, next problem's not far away.
Now i do have a problem flashing roms. Every rom i tried gave me a "status 7" error. Now i already searched up a solution that includes removing a few lines in the updater-script.dat. However that didn't work either. I'm pretty sure i followed the guides exactly. But at this point i kinda have to assume, that i'm even too dumb for that.
Any suggestions ?
Here's what the log says:
Mounting partitions...
Extract busybox...
Extracting firmware update image file...
Note: This may take a while (it stays here for some time, np though)
Formatting SYSTEM...
Extracting firmware update to SYSTEM...
Note: This may take a while (and again it does)
Performing finalizing tasks...
set_perm: some changes failed
Error in zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
Maybe this might help, tell me if u need anything else

downloaded latest cwm via rommanager, it says v6.0.3.0
To make things simple i tried flashing the suggested stockbased rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565850)
But since i keep getting the same error with any rom i tried, i assume i'm generally doing something wrong.

The recovery is probably your problem.
Try using atleast twrp 2.6.3.0 or philz touch cwm or the latest cwm
you can use the dual recovery as well

Got cwm 6.0.4.5, worked great ! THANK YOU A LOT !!! :good::good: OH YEAH, double thumbs up ! And there's me thinking, the guide said get rom manager, the program knows where to find the latest version. Whatever, great forum, seems like i finally might have figured out what i'm doing, at least kind of
Now to exploring all the funny roms and apps. I'm so excited
PS: Since this solved, do i need to do anything else ? I've seen "Solved" being in the title. Can i do that or do i have to ask a mod ?
i saw you solved your problem but still have a look over THIS
