Hello all. First, I want to say that I have no knowledge or experience that could help me with my problem, just a fan of tech. So, about a year ago, I came across someone selling an HP Touchpad for $20. It was in good condition, so even though I remembered that it's possible to dual boot Android alongside webOS, I would have bought it anyway. So with your help, I was able to get CM 11 running, using Sullins TP toolbox. Every thing was great, until I decided to do a reset of the device from within CM 11's settings menu (not the boot menu) which I was pretty sure I had done before with no problems, but now when I try to boot Android, CM's splash screen (the arrow going in circles around CM'S logo) just stays on the screen, never booting Android. WebOS still boots fine. Could someone point me in the right direction towards solving the problem? Again, I apologize for my ignorance, and you guys were such a big help when I installed CM, that I'm hoping you can help me resolve this issue. Thank you, and let me know if you need any additional information.

Reinstalling using the TP Toolbox should fix everything.

First off I'd like to apologize to Boushh and everyone else for having to post this here and not in the actual rom thread, but rules are rules and being a lurker has its drawl backs.
Anyway, I installed the rom/kernel/gapps as per instructions. Everything worked great. No real issues. Then I tried to switch from 3g over to WiFi and kept getting errors. So I decided to reboot and thats when the fun started. I'll try to describe what happened next. The setup screen appeared in the background but had a metric ton of FC windows over top of it. I clicked through them... all. Fairly sure it was every single .apk that I have installed on the tab atm. Managed to get to the home screen, with FCs all the way through. Then I decided that it would be a great idea just to re-flash the whole package. Which has fixed problems like this on other devices that I own, but now I'm stuck in a boot loop. Not 100% sure what to do .. and due to overconfidence(stupidity) I didnt backup the stock rom.
Not 100% sure what to do from here, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So hey guys, I just want to start off by saying that I really appreciate your help in this because I really messed up and keep in mind that this is my first Android device and I'm currently a total noob.
So my problem has a back story and here goes. So i decided that i wanted to root my phone and try to put CyanogenMod on it to get a somewhat similar experience to stock Android. So i used a YouTube video and successfully rooted my phone. After i rooted it i found out that CyanogenMod didn't have a stable or RC release for my AT&T HTC One so i decided i should unroot it and so i got the RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular.exe file from another YouTube video and everything was going fine until the installer said that i have an error and the installer closed down, and now I'm left with a black screen with an HTC logo and four caution indicators in the four corners. I tired to shut down the phone nothing happens, I tired to hard reset it and nothing happened the same screen stayed up. I was hoping that someone on this forum could help me cause you guys are my last resort.
Thanks in advance for any help, it means a lot.
Found a solution please close the post.
Hello,
This is my first time posting here, and I would like to request anyone on here to please assist me with the problem I am currently facing. I bought an unlocked, rooted HTC One with stock Android 4.3 installed as it's sole, primary OS this past summer. The person I bought it from is the one who actually rooted the phone, as my knowledge of such processes is fairly limited. I understand there are plenty of complications that I may run into dealing with this problem on my own and technical references may be lost on me, but I'm fairly competent enough to follow instructions from someone who may be able to help.
Here's the problem: I received an Android 4.4 OS update yesterday, which downloaded automatically and asked me if I wanted to install it. I thought the process would be fairly simple and I would not encounter any problems. However, when I asked the update to register and install, first it went into boot (I'm not certain which software was used for root), then the process started and everything seemed to be going fine until 'Patching files onto the whatever' came up and then it appeared that I encountered an error and the phone automatically went into what I can only assume is the bootloader menu? There were big Stock Android looking buttons on it which said things like Install, Root, Settings and a few others I don't recall. I tried to hit Install to see what happened and it brought me back to the part where 4.4 was supposed to be installed and I could read the error message at the end of it which said something like 'Error in patching files to zip folder or something', and I went back to the supposed bootloader menu. Confused and afraid, I think I pressed a button which I felt would allow me to reboot my phone and bring me back to my original 4.3 OS and that I would still be able to use my phone. First it said something like 'You no longer have root permissions', and there was an option where I could slide to apparently 'fix this', but I selected the 'don't fix' option as I obviously had no idea what I was doing. After this, the phone attempted to reboot, and a turquoise blue screen with strange markings came up on it and my phone hung. I killed the phone with the master power button and held it to switch off the phone.
BUT now, even since that has happened, my phone appears to be dead. It isn't starting up. When I put it on charge, the red LED doesn't show up. I have tried to used several ways to turn on my phone but it just wouldn't work.
I would like some light to be shed on this particular problem, and if anyone has experienced something similar to this, PLEASE, help me in fixing this. I am an eager learner and despite my limited, close to non-existent knowledge about dealing with a phone's OS, I know I can learn fast and follow instructions cleanly.
Please help me. Thank you.
Hello guys,
I've been messing around with my Motorola Razr i XT890 the last couple of days, trying to get it "back to life".
It suddenly shut down and would get stuck on the red "M" logo, right when the animation would start (the white wavey-type of lines freeze and that is all it would do. I, myself, am not really much up to date on rooting, installing custom roms, you know; the whole developing thing (I find it interesting, it is just that I lack time to be able to learn more). Anyway, the phone got stuck and I've managed to factory reset it, after a while the phone would freeze and again get stuck on the red logo, this went on until it would not boot at all. All I got was a short vibration and the green led would light up for like one second. Using this forum I've found a solution to bring it back to the point it would get back into fastboot (Actually holding the camera button down with usb attached, install some specific drivers and then run a batch file).
At this point this is my situation:
I'm stuck on fastboot, however I turn on the phone it will get into fastboot (see attached image to see what it says)

I, for some reason, have Philz Recovery installed and tried to use adb sideload to install a few files but my biggest problem is that I'm not sure which firmware I need, I'm really confused about all the terms and what not. I'm not the type of person that pays much attention and like knows the difference between JB or KitKat or whatever. All I know is that the phone was purchased in Germany along with a contract with either Vodafone or O2 (really not sure). I have so many files and tools installed on my PC and I would like to delete everything and start from scratch. I have fastboot and adb working (except for RSDLite, for some reason it just won't recognize the device, while adb sideload did work....haven't figured that one out yet.
If any one happens to know. or can post a link for 1 or 2 versions of the firmware and help me out. Just point me in the right direction, I know my way around a computer but like I said, I've never really done much in this area
I bought a new model Motorola soon after this one crashed the second time, so it's not even about the phone itself. I kind of challenged myself to get it working again, on top of that, it was a very good phone and I got really used to it. These new big screens are too much for me so if I get it working I might actually start using it again lol.
Also thanks to all of you who put time and effort in helping people who have these kind of problems, it's a really nice community overall and I've gotten to like it and will try to spend more time learning about this. I might just help out some lost soul myself some day
PS; sry about the green lol, I actually just realized it...I just can't be bothered cropping it out
Does anyone watch this thread anymore? I have a question: I replaced the battery in my LG R watch (which I have not used in several years), and charged it up. It boosts to the LG logo screen and hangs there forever. I restarted it and did the 11 to 5 swipe to see the fast boot screen, and select Recover Mode. Same results, it just shows the LG Logo and never gets any further along. Seems, perhaps, that the boot code is bad? If I cannot get into the Android screen, is there a way I can refresh the basic software on this device? Or is this thing dead? FYI: I have not done any hacking on this, it is just stock. But it seems I might have to to get this running again. Suggestions and pointers would be welcomed. Thanks.
Hi watchers. I see no replies, but maybe someone here ha a USB driver that will work on Windows 11?
Ok, I got this to work but had to go back to a Windows 7 machine. Sad that these threads are dead now.
Hello, I have exactly the same problem !
Could you tell me how you did it?
I think I have to flash the firmware, but I have no clue.
Thanks to you, or to those who can help me.
I didnt had this issue so i am sorry that i cant help you there.
I replaced the battery and everything was fine
Thanks
I changed 2x batteries (compatible & genuine) and nothing better :/
