I have been looking through the threads, and havent seen what I am looking for. So hopefully i will not get flamed to bad. I tried to install mikeymikes GR12, I got through the first stage of downloading the gingerbread rom to the phone through odin, but then it went south. I lost root and was unable to get back to the download screen. I then tried to use the all in one tool to root the phone, and that put me to the recovery screen where i could not use the ok button, just the volume up and down buttons. I just managed to get the download screen to come back, but i cant get anything else to work. Any suggestions on what to do, where to go from here.
Thank you for your help
I would go back to stock first. I believe your problem lies in the bootloaders. There are two bootloaders in the beginning and if you don't have the gingerbread ones installed, you won't install gingerbread properly.
I would use DesignGears One Click Odin to go back to stock and load the Froyo drivers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989. Make sure you open up Odin first before plugging in your phone, then hit the Start button.
Once that is done, you can try again, but read about getting the GB bootloaders installed properly before you try to flash a GB ROM. Any of the GB ROM instructions should get you there. Just make sure you know all the steps before you try it again.
Good Luck!!
I don't see why you would be flamed for your question. That is what Q&A is for and you are in a bad spot. The biggest thing to remember is to be as specific as possible when you post a question. This includes what you were trying to do, what steps you took, what was the result, when did the problem occur (which step) and what you have tried to do, if anything to fix it.
One more thing. It is always possible that the USB cable is bad or that the USB port you are plugging into (on the computer) isn't working properly. You might also want to plug into a different USB port.
Sorry these posts are broken up, but as I'm coming up with ideas, I'm posting.
Here's something you should try:
(I wrote this for Team Phoenix, hence the sig.. But it works the same with every ROM. There's a link to a very nice tutorial I suggest you follow).

Me too. If we can ... Remember not all things can be recovered from so please read everything twice before ever touching your phone.
10-4. My next question is: where do I get froyo from. Kies sees my eclair version as unregistered, so it wont update. And my ota sees an update is needed, but when i tried, the area im in has crappy signal, so the update failed and now i have to wait 24 hours to do it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again
are you planning on flashing a custom rom?
if so updating to official froyo is A HUGE WASTE OF TIME
EDIT:are you Canadian by chance? if so check this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
I only plan to root the official froyo right now, that is what I had before I jacked it up. I am not Canadian.

Going on official froyo will get you the signature failed error (which you need the 3e recovery fix if you ever want to flash a custom ROM).
So, basically, if you want more than 2.2 official release. We suggest you don't update. If you're perfectly fine staying on 2.2 Froyo, then there's no problem lol
As for Kies, you shouldn't have any problem using Kies mini. Other than that, there is a 2.2 flash around here. I'm sure you'll find it doing a little search
I had root on my official froyo for a couple of months without a problem. Right now i cant get my phone to go into download mode, it only goes to the battery screen. If i can get to download i can make some headway

If the battery pull way isn't working. You could always go read on abd. It send SU commands and you could get your phone in downlaod mode that way.
Is there an easy way to get adb without getting the sdk. I downloaded the sdk and it keeps saying i need java, when i download the java crap it says the same thing.

Did you reboot your pc?
Yes i did, no change
i believe you need microsoft .net framework installed also...
easy adb setup link in my sig.

Hello Everyone,
I finally bought the new Galaxy Note and well I think I may have done something wrong. I unboxed it, turned it on played with it a bit. Then I rooted it so far all seemed fine. Then i installed clockworkmod and this is where things went wrong now no matter what i do when it boots it goes straight to clockworkmod recovery. Please anyone that is on help, To be honest i am freaking out because i forgot to look and write down the info for this phone so I am not even sure if i can flash it back to stock and start over.
THANK YOU so much to anyone who helps.

How did you root it? Did you use the zergrush exploit? Odin? If you can get to CWM recovery, you could trying flashing a GB ROM, stock firmware, or a nandroid backup...if you made one of those?
First of all thank you for taking the time to help me, I do apprecaite it. I used ODIN to root the phone. I also used ODIN to install clockwork. It will boot straight into clockwork with no problem. Do you know of where I can find a stock rom and go back to the way the phone was when i bought it? I have no idea of what was on it when i bought it forgot to go to about phone to write down the info. I feel so stupid right now.
It doesn't really matter what was on your phone when you bought it. Just go here, download one of the older stock Roms (KK9 would be my choice, easily rootable via zergrush method), and flash it using PC Odin.
After you're done, root it and upgrade stock, flash custom Roms, whatever.

I'm glad you're in the clear now.
So in order to get the phone back to the way it was original when bought, if i follow those instructions and download the kk9 one and then let the phone update everything will be like it was. Think i will hold off on rooting and stuff till i learn more cant afford to mess this phone up.
Hi friends
I am currently running my HTC ONE with a Venom Rom and been told I need TWRP to update to v4.1
Cannnot get TWRP to go over CWM :/
I have removed ROM Manager but still boots into CWM
I have installed GooManager and it asks if I want to install the open recovery script, does the 10 second count down, and then goes back to main screen, does not do anything else - I have removed it and reinstalled, still same issue
If I use Goo to boot in to Recovery it just freezes on the YES/NO screen and then says script is taking too long wait or cancel :/ Left it for ages to no avail
When I looked in ROM Manager it did state Twrp was the recovery but stil booted in to CWM - now I have removed ROM Manager as I read on here that might be the issue :/
I have also just checked for CWM APP, and that is NOT installed
Can anyone help or am I going to have to flash a STOCK ROM then go back to Venom?
Cheers guys
So basically, you want to install TWRP recovery replacing your current CWM recovery right? but can't make it happen since everytime you do, you ended up still having CWM?
Try flashing this file using CWM.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/716uhr84madvvjl/TWRP_2.6.3.4_m7.zip
Just flash the recovery through fastboot

Now to flash the ROM
Again, I thank you!

@skpManiac (OP), stop using toolkits, goos, youtubes, etc. if you want to flash low-level stuff, then do it the "hard way"
1- download the file
2- VERIFY MD5
3- (ironically) use 3 (as in three) command lines:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

I made a few judgement errors while playing with my phone one day (vzn android 4.4 rooted) and ended up getting stuck in a situation where I had to RSD back to stock. I started over, but now I am getting hung up on attempting to root. I am hoping it is just something totally stupid I am missing so I can get it solved and be on my way.
I am currently sitting on a fresh install of 4.2.2 (post camera). I have re-downloaded RockMyMoto and unzipped it. Completely fresh file. Everything is a clean install. On the first time of running it, I get this message:
System is not write protected...
Executing step 3...

I am not sure what is happening or why it is happening, but I am hoping someone else knows.
I've tried wiping data and cache, tried RSDing a couple of times.
This happens both when I am following the tutorial JCase posted and when I am using the moto toolbox.
Thank you in advance.

So easy a caveman
I used 1.3.4 and was piece of cake.. just follow instructions. I was on 4.4 and clicked root with slap, maybe some peeps here can help you as to where you need to start now since you already began a process

I tried the toolbox. I got the same error. Otherwise, yeah, that toolbox is awesome.
When I rooted my phone the first time, that toolbox hadn't yet been updated, so I did it all manually, but Ive rooted a couple of other phones using his tool. He is an awesome guy for releasing that tool, for sure.

Perfect, glad to hear that got you going! Yes, it's a shame that JCASE has closed his rockmymoto thread so this cannot be posted there, AND xda-developers says I don't have enough 'points' or 'cred' or whatever to post this fix directly to the Developers forum. So here I am, randomly replying to people with this fix I made. Looks like this time, xda-developers got the hero they need, not the hero they want. lol
Anyways, cheers mate, enjoy!

Stock recovery or TWRP?
Are you looking to undo what you did without having to do a complete wipe, or are you open to more drastic solutions? Because you can always run the toolkit to reset to complete stock by flashing the stock images over your current system. But that would of course perform a complete wipe.

I actually used this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/tool-moto-x-pure-edition-recovery-t2897819 when I was messed around, but I would imagine either would work. When I needed to return to unrooted stock, I believe that toolkit returned me to 4.4.4 unrooted stock, then I just ran the 5.0 OTA once the phone booted up.
The toolkit you referenced is the one I used to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, and root my phone. As long as you can get to recovery or fastboot, either toolkit should work to return you to stock. BUT I caution you, I have a pure edition, and these toolkits were made for the pure edition. If you do not have a pure edition, you'll want to read the disclaimers/instructions/other posts to make sure it will work on your phone.
Okay so this escalated quickly.
So here I am being my dumb self , I try to flash TWRP. That goes fine and then I try to wipe my data. After that I reboot it and as its turning on it foes black on the boot animation. and now I cant even get into freaking recovery mode. I dont know what I did but im pretty sure I messed up bad. I need some serious help now and anything is appreciated.

Bootloader as in vol. down + power button right? Thats not working too. I also tried other combinations to no luck. And before it was turning on but now its not even booting to the boot animation. Thanks for the link though, if it does magically boot into the bootloader then i'll know what to do at least.
Edit: Okay so theres the charging animation, so thats a start, I guess. Still no luck on the bootloader tho.
Okay got it into bootloader mode!
Now before I do any other stupid thing can somebody just confirm one thing for me? On Graffix's website, this is the img I should flash through mfastboot right
Lollipop 5.0 22.21.11 FULL IMAGE PACKAGE Zip
Just a confirmation because I dont really trust my judgement. Thanks again everybody

I agree that Toolkits can make you lazy and not learn how to fix things on your own, but when you need a quick fix and don't have time to figure out what is going wrong, it's always nice to just boot your phone into fastboot or recovery and fix things with a few keystrokes on your computer.
I got it to work guys! Thanks for all the help. It was much appreciated.
