Am I [Bricked]?

Specs:
HTC Dream (G1)
Cyanogen 6.0(package) Had it from Release
Clockwork Recovery 2.5(The one that comes with the cyanogen)
Windows Vista 32bit
List of known facts:
CANNOT normal boot (Stuck at boot logo)
CANNOT boot into Recovery mode (Stuck at boot logo)
USB debugging mode is OFF
CAN boot into fastboot option by holding Power + Camera
If i can still be able to do Fastboot i need a noob guide or something
Because im far from understanding it
when i plug in the usb into my computer, my g1 says "Fastboot USB mode" on
but my computer does not have a single pop up or any devices shown anywhere
Except Android USB devices "MY HTC" found on "Device Manager" in control panel, when i plug in my g1
And if i remove that driver and disable auto device driver installing on Vista..i get "USB Device not Recognized"
I just want to know is there any hope for my beloved Mistress G1 or no.
Thank you all for reading =]

Well if worst comes to worst put the apropiate dreaimg.nbh on sd card and power + camera button and wait whill will bring you back to 1.0 but only do that if you run out of options, as im sure there are other ways of fixing your g1 with going back to 1.0

Thanx alot for actually replying and helping..i had like 20-30 views and NO replies..
Umm yea i figured that was my last option when HBoot kept saying "Looking for dreaimg" on sd card. I really dont mind doing that..
but i much rather learn a better method if possible =]

Ok so i basically used HBoot to get back to 1.0(unrooted)
Please close this and thank you, xda

How to do this without going back to 1.0
I ran into a somewhat similar issue where I was unable to flash stock system images via recovery (key verification problems).
You can use fastboot to flash images via command prompt (if in vista/7 be sure to right click command prompt and run as admin):
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.x.x.img
I used the 1.6 HTC Dev System (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721) and Radio zip downloads (not the recovery one): h ttp://developer.htc.com/adp. html (don't have enough posts to be able to link url so cut/paste and remove space)
Unzipped the 14721 zip and manually flashed each of the four images to the device.
fastboot flash boot "C:\....\signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-img-14721\boot.img"
and same for recovery, system, and userdata
You can skip a step here by flashing the RA-dream recovery instead of the stock recovery.
If you have a different radio version, you need to rename the radio zip to update.zip, toss it on the sd card, boot into recovery, and flash the radio update zip to the phone.
Remember to wipe both caches, battery usage cache, and restore to "factory default" options in RA-dream before booting into Droid.
You should remember to wipe your caches in this manner every time you flash a new image. This includes resetting to "factory default" (clearing the userdata currently stored) since that one is easy to overlook and often causes things to not work exactly right if you still have data left over from a prior droid install.
It should also be possible to flash cryanogen or other versions via this method, if you have separate image files for each component to use with fastboot (like how the 1.6 dev images I linked to were split into solid .img files).

Different SD card partitions?

Disclaimer: I'm relatively new to the realm of modding the the kindle. I have a 2012 7" hd. I rooted it and loaded a 2nd bootloader and recovery via various tutorials. I attempted to to load a rom (lolipop 5.1 and corresponding gapps). The process seemed to go fine and when it booted into android the initial setup screens appeared (connect to wifi etc); but then I got a message that the setup wizard had failed. I tried "skipping" screens etc and regardless of what I did I couldn't get past that screen. I clearly either did something wrong or didn't have a good rom file. I was an idiot and didn't create a backup before flashing the new rom. So I mounted it in recovery and loaded a factory image that way and flashed back to norm. My intention was to start things over. I rooted again, went through the whole process; however, I'm seeing a weird phenomenon. When I am in windows (or ES explorer for that matter) and access the files on the sd card partition...I can load files onto there (for flashing in recovery etc); however, once I am actually in recovery and go to "install" the partition that I view in recovery is the files I had from the very first flash. I can create new files in windows or ES explorer and everything works as expected....but once in recovery, none of those folders are present...and the only zip files that are available to "install" are the ones I used the first time that didn't work. I'm clearly looking at some other partition or image in recovery than I am in windows. I have cleared cache and everything I can think of (again I'm a complete amateur). Does anyone have a suggestion of what I am doing wrong or how to resolve? Thanks in advance.
Cranky

The issue with your first problem was that it could have been a bad gapps, in the future try different gapps if you see weird problems like that, to your second problem, when flashing lollipop on a device that had ICS it'll change the directory of the SDcard, no biggie though, just search in recovery data/media/legacy or data/media/0 it should be in one of those that your files are in.

Try this.
Try to send files over using adb whilst in recovery. If you do not know how then watch this youtube(dot)com/watch?v=NaK5OxUeDKM

Can't use ADB because RSA key is not available

So my Kindle Fire HD 7(2012) is bricked after trying to factory reset CM12.1. I took some advice and tried to run some ADB commands and then ADB says device unauthorized. Since my Kindle is stuck at the TWRP boot screen I cannot accept the RSA key. What should I do?

Reboot into TWRP, select Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, and then check all the boxes and swipe to wipe. At this point, all your system, data, and cache partitions will be completely empty, so you will need to reboot into TWRP again (ignore the warnings about not having an OS installed or root), copy a ROM zip from your PC to the kindle's internal storage, and flash it. Once you have it flashed, you'll be starting with a clean state (much like a factory reset), so you should have the ability to set up the device again once the ROM fully boots and get ADB to work.

Dead android with warning triangle on XT1072

Decided to OTA (not sure why) my Moto G LTE that was and was running stock but with an unlocked bootloader but have ran into issues and think i am now just digging a bigger hole for myself so I am asking for some help please.
I after the attempted update i started having issues with some apps not working and/or uninstalling themselves. Play store was the worst (tired wiping cache and data but no joy) then the camera decided it would uninstall and then any other camera apps in added wouldn't save pictures. Managed to get a fresh stock rom install.
So i though i'd update to CM13, downloaded the file, twrp and Gapps and set about booting into recovery to install twrp but initially i was unable to enter recovery and it stayed on the fastboot screen. Now i am getting the dead android and the red triangle but have a working stock rom.
I can now no longer use fastboot, all it does is start the rom as if i had just powered on normally.
Any help appreciated.

You say you have working stock rom, so can you boot your phone to home screen? If so in ADB try using this command in CMD "mfastboot reboot bootloader" without the speech marks.

Yes can get onto the home screen and use the phone (so far) without issue, get as far as the fastboot screen but then states 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. That is given for any command including "reboot"

Stock ROMs do things like that to unlocked phones.
Check if you still have root access - I'm guessing you lost it, so you'll need to root again - Root Checker
Flash again the last and the proper TWRP tool (make sure you download for THEA) using the Rashr Flash Tool app if you can't access the fastboot screen.
Put your ROM on a SD card, erase everything and reinstall the system and the proper gapps (use at least MINI, so you could recover your old settings from your google account at first launch).
But think about ditching the stock - give Temasek a try. You will have to modify a couple of files to make the TITAN release work on your THEA, but it's worth aplenty.
Keep us posted.

Have you enabled "usb debugging"? in developer settings (tap the build number 7 times) Do you have ADB installed? If so did you open CMD in the ADB folder?

Cheers, any info on what files need modding?
Was rooted, managed to get adb to work last night and managed to reinstall twrp but now i can't get the rom to load and can't flash any CROM.
So used the all in one tool to re install stock 5.0.2.
Going to grab a brew and chill for a bit.

Aiight, once you downloaded the zip on your PC, go to:
1. ...titan.zip\META-INF\com\android
Drag the "metadata" file on a notepad page and replace 0x4882 with 0x4821 (your phone's bootloader code) and save.
2. ...titan.zip\META-INF\com\google\android
Drag the "updater-script" file on a notepad page, hit "Search and replace" for any of the XT's in there with yours, XT1072.
You will have 3 hits.
Example: Search and replace XT1069 with XT1072 ->
getprop("ro.product.device") == "XT1069"
getprop("ro.build.product") == "XT1069"
titan,titan_umts,titan_udstv,titan_umtsds,titan_retaildsds,XT1068,XT1064,XT1063,XT1069
will become:
getprop("ro.product.device") == "XT1072"
getprop("ro.build.product") == "XT1072"
titan,titan_umts,titan_udstv,titan_umtsds,titan_retaildsds,XT1068,XT1064,XT1063,XT1072.
(3 - while still here)
Search and replace the initial 0x4882 bootloader with yours, 0x4821.
Save the changes.
And... you're good to go.
Some native Moto apps won't show up in PlayStore because of this, but you can get all the Moto stuff from here (if you really love them).
Once installed, enjoy the full power of your brand new Android 6 phone.
Don't forget to do all the things you did as a kid once: activate the developer options as mentioned above, set the SuperSu permissions and so on.
However: screw-ups occur mainly because of conflicts between the new and the old, so you will have to perform a clean install as advised here, which means wiping everything you had - so you won't be able to return to your Lollipop Stock through any recovery.
So chill some more and consider everything thoroughly.

Cheers.
bloody phones, dunno ewhat happened but seems like reinstalling the SROM for the 2nd time allowed me to boot into recovery, twrp and load the CROM. Only issue this time was that apparently stock gapps was too big for the phone so had to download and install the mini version.
Will see how CM13 goes and download the Temasek for install later once im happy everythings working.

Official ROM for AT&T ASUS MeMo Pad 7 LTE (me375cl aka K00X) and root on Lollipop

Thank you so much for posting where you found this, this is exactly what I needed!!! You saved my tablet, it is much appreciated! :good:

Flashing Factory Image
The following instructions worked for me when trying to reflash the factory firmware for the ATT Asus MemoPad 7 LTE (ME375CL). I did originally try using the Asus Flash Tool and the raw firmware file (link below) but the tool said it could not unzip the package for some reason or another. So the steps below show how I did it using ADB with fastboot.
I ASSUME NO LIABILITY SHOULD THIS GO WRONG FOR YOU! However, it probably shouldn't matter if you are bricked, I doubt it will make it any worse Either way, I will not replace your tablet or be responsible for troubleshooting it should you mess it up more...
This scenario is based on the tablet stuck on the Asus boot screen and not going any further. I was trying some in depth rooting attempts and bricked it badly. I was then trying to install a custom recovery and that is why I could not reset it and bricked it.
PRE-REQS:
1. ADB installed - Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0fKccJIuWsna04wMjY1eG9YREU
2. Asus Drivers installed
3. Firmware - Download: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0fKccJIuWsnWGhwYzA0Vkluc2s (file is 1 Gb + in size, may take a bit)
SETUP:
If you already have a working ADB setup, do not download the one above. If you are using the one above, I extracted the folder into my C: drive, so the path for ADB would be C:\adb (to keep it simple and less typing).
MAKE SURE THE ASUS DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED! If you have plugged the tablet in to a pc before, they should already be there. Otherwise search, download and install the appropriate drivers.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Extract the firmware zip file to somewhere easily accessible like your desktop. In there, you should see the boot.img, recovery.img and system.img files, copy/paste those files to your ADB folder (for easier typing later on). There are also additional files like these but start with "unsigned_", do NOT use those!
1. Ensure you probably have at least 30% battery charge, I would still recommend more though.
2. Put the tablet in Fastboot mode by ensuring the tablet is completely powered down and then press/hold the VOLUME UP and POWER keys at the same time. When the Asus screen appears, let go of the POWER button but continue to hold the VOLUME UP button. Let go of the VOLUME UP button when the fastboot screen appears.
3. Plug the tablet in to the computer and then open a CMD prompt as administrator.
4. The following uses the ADB downloaded and placed in the folder as listed above, you may need to adjust the location path as needed if you already have ADB installed or located in a different path.
Type in the following without the quotes: "cd c:\adb" (this will change the path to the ADB files for the CMD prompt)
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot devices" (you should then see a device listed)
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (flashes the factory recovery image)
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot flash system system.img" (flashes the factory system image, may take a while to flash)
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (flashes the factory boot image)
5. Once those 3 images have been flashed, you should have seen a message that says "OKAY" after each one. You should be fine as long as you do not have any red error messages on your tablet.
Type in the following without the quotes: "fastboot reboot" (reboots device normally)
6. If all goes well, it should now boot to the Asus screen and then go to the ATT screen. If so, it will stay on the ATT screen for a while, just wait it out. Mine took about 12-15 minutes and then it opened to the new setup screen to set the tablet up as if its new!
This is how I was able to recover my bricked tablet, hopefully it can help someone else that may run into this.

John, thank you for the write-up. Just bought my ME375CL with 4.4.4.4.
When I try to flash the recovery partition, I get the following error:
C:\Users\Myself\Desktop\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (11312 KB)...

Click to collapse
and on the tablet's screen:
FASTBOOT CMD WAITING...
RECEIVE DATA...
E:recovery flash failed!
FLASH FAILED!
RESULT: FAIL(flash_cmds error! )
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I haven't tried the other commands for system.img or boot.img as I don't want to do anything out of order from the write-up. Ever run into this?

The firmware in the download is 5.1.1, not 4.4.4. That is probably the issue. If you are running good on that, I would try rooting it instead. If you are just wanting to upgrade, you will need to have an active AT&T SIM in the tablet to upgrade over the air. I am not sure if there is a flashable upgrade or not somewhere.

Oh ok John. I misread the title of the thread. I thought it was for updating from 4 to 5.
Quick question then: Is it possible, using the adb / fastboot tools, to backup the current 4.4.4.4 before I allow the tablet to update to Lollipop? After reading around, I understand that Lollipop can't be rooted but I have no real concern for it. But just in case I need the tablet to do something else in the future, I'd like to be able to return it to kit kat to be able to root.

Once you upgrade to lollipop, there is no downgrading for this tablet. There really is not much development for this device. I have kind of been working on a lollipop root when I can. Between my limited time and knowledge of android, I can't promise anything.

Overcoming red messages?
Dear John,
Thank you very much for your help. My device runs KitKat 4.4, I can't upgrade over the air, as I damaged my sim slot struggling to remove a stuck nano sim, which I had inserted before I realized that it required a micro sim. (I'd wrongly assumed that by now the world uses only nano).
I followed the steps above, which you wrote so clearly for lay men, thank you a lot.
The flash for recovery.img and system.img worked fine (no red error messages on device).
The flash for boot.img had a red error message.
Might you have an idea or workaround on how I can address this?
If it refuses, is it possible to factory reset?
Thank you very much again for any words of advice and kind regards.

Sounds odd that it did 2 out of 3 flashes. After you flashed those and rebooted, are you still on KitKat or did it actually update to Lollipop (5.1)? I ask because I assume the system image that flashed would be the operating system.
I still want to stress that this post is for recovering a bricked tablet that will not boot at all. I would not suggest using this as a flashing upgrade as I do not know if it will truly work. If you are still on KK (even after flashing) you could try installing the Asus Flash Tool and use the raw firmware that you downloaded and try it that way. It did not work for me so that is why I used fastboot. It might work for you.
Here is a link for the Asus Flash Tool:

As a follow up on your question above, Tab restart stalled at a screen (after the Asus logo), presenting some options to do recovery, reboot, factory reset, etc. (factory reset did not help), and red error messages at bottom.
To the GOOD news for anyone interested. I used the Asus Flash Tool and the firmware zip for 5.1.1 (many thanks for the advice).
Note: Tool did not install correctly on Win10 pc, citing error in installing some devcon.exe or similar file (guess that may be a firewall/antivirus issue).
Flash tool took some 15 or so mins unzipping firmware, after which I saw some action on the tab. Another 15 mins, and it rebooted to the At&t logo, stayed here for another 15 mins and unraveled a whole new device on Android 5.1

Glad to hear it worked for you and that I guess you can use this to flash upgrade from kitkat!

There is working way to root our device on lollipop! It is for the other Asus model, but it works for our
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=640814&view=findpost&p=53047686

I will check this out!

The root works, installed without any issues and verified with a root checker!
Here is a direct download from my Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0fKccJIuWsnN21ZbnZpc2F6b1E
1. Download the file above.
2. Extract the zip contents.
3. Plug your ME375CL tablet in to pc via usb cable.
4. Make sure you have enabled Developer Mode and allowed USB Debugging first!
5. Open the folder you extracted and double click the "Root-One-Click.cmd" file.
6. It should reboot to fastboot mode and flash the needed files and then reboot again.
You should now have root access. Verify this by installing a root checker app from the play store. Keep in mind, it may say root not installed on the first run. Sometimes it will take a moment for superuser to initially run or prompt for access.
Side note: the root uninstall did not seem to work, got an error...but oh well, the point is to have root!
Thanks go to @little_pindos for finding this file...you are a rockstar!

Anyone get xposed on LP?

ATT Boot Up Sound
Tired of the ATT boot sound? If you used the rooting method above, then you can get rid of the annoying ATT startup sound by doing the following:
1. Install a Root Browser app (I recommend Rom Toolbox Pro, it has a built in file manager)
2. Navigate to the following path:
root/system/media
3. Find the file named "powerup.wav"
4. Simply rename the file by adding .bak to the end (ex - powerup.wav.bak)
5. Make sure it took the name change (some file managers have issues with that)
6. Reboot and see if it got rid of the sound!
You can also use your own startup sounds as long as they are in a .wav format, I believe. Make sure that the name of the file is powerup.wav.

You can also change your boot animation with "boot animation" app.
Best tweak IMO is adding "ro.config.low_ram=true" to build prop, or installing the low ram device xposed module if we can get it to work (both do the same thing). You gain about 100mb more free RAM on average.

AT&T removed the last update for this tablet months ago and no longer supports it. ASUS states AT&T has all the updates. Total cluster.
