Odd issue -- after flashing, phone reboots to fastboot and loses custom recovery.. topic

So, I had to replace my HTC One.

The new one is 1.55 -- I am still S-On.

Today I flashed CWM 6043 using fastboot after unlocking the bootloader through HTC.

I flashed SuperSU.

I attempted to flash two of the newer roms (InsertCoin and Renovate) because I wanted Sense 6.

After successfully going through the flash, the phone reboots and goes straight back to Fastboot. If I go into the Bootloader and try to go into Recovery, it just kicks me back to the bootloader. I can then use fastboot to reflash CWM 6043 again and do it all over.

Same thing.

Every time.

Thoughts?

[Q] Sprint LG G2 Error Flashing Pac-Man 4.4.2 topic

I have the Sprint LG G2 LS980ZV8 running 4.2.2 with kernel version 3.4.0 (all stock). A few months ago I followed some guides for rooting my phone. During the process, I ended up flashing loki and twrp 2.6.3.2. This is as far as I've gotten because shortly afterwards I received an OTA update (it's still pending). For fear of losing root access, I postponed the update indefinitely. I've waited to see if anyone would post a root option under the new update but it seems just flashing a ROM such as pac-man would be easier (or at least quicker).

Now, while following goldflame09's guide, I have downloaded all the necessary files to the appropriate locations, but after factory resetting my phone and trying to extract the .zip file, it says "error executing updater binary in zip" then immediately fails. I have to restore my previous data/system/boot/cache before the phone will successfully system reboot; otherwise, I can only tinker around in TWRP.

I thought maybe updating TWRP to 2.7.0 might solve the issue, but I am new to this so it seemed smarter to ask for advice before meddling around on my own. Does anyone know why I got the "error executing updater binary in zip" message, and if so, how can I avoid this error and continue flashing the ROM?

No Sound or Make Calls / Receive on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 after flashing topic

Hi,

When I was receiving a phone call only the vibration was working, no sounds, I couldn't slide the screen to answer properly, which means that I was able to slide, but the round icon of the slide could not catch the phone green icon. I could play no sound at all on videos, spotify, alarm, etc.

Currently settings about my phone:

Samsung S4 i9505 - 4.4.2
Baseband: i9505XXUFNBH
Bootloader: I9505XXUBMG4

Any fixes? People saying different things and really want a well explained correct answer. I've had previous problems and really just want to get this sorted

TA Partition and flashing history. topic

Did anyone noticed that in the TA partition it is stored every firmware flash that the device took?

For example in my TA backup took when i rooted the .534 to flash the rooted 4.4 i have:

This means that if i unlock the device and then restore ta for warranty purposes sony will see all history of flashed software along the phone's life, in this case that i flashed another region's firmware.

[Q] Flashing Rom & Kernel of different version of M8? topic

Hi, thanks for reading.
I am a HongKonger. As I know, the global version of M8 is using the snapdragon801AB while Asia version is using the snapdragon801AC. I know the only different of the two cpu is simply overclocking to different frequency. Would the different make development very difficult to support the two at the same time? Or it will just be the same?
I afraid there will be less support for the Asia M8. Will this happen?
I am so sorry that my English is not good enough. Hope you guys could understand what I'm talking about.
Thanks.

[Q] Will flashing AT&T One to T-Mobile ROM bring full functionality? topic

Hi all! First post here, I've read through pages and pages of forum posts looking for an answer but haven't found one so I thought I would ask a quick question.

I have an AT&T One that I recently unlocked, I then left AT&T for T-Mobile and am having issues with MMS sending/receiving and Mobile Hot spot. Everything else is functionality. T-Mobile says they can't help, HTC says they can't help.

As a result I was thinking I flashing it with a T-Mobile ROM.

Do you think it will help?

I wanted to confirm before I start digging more into how to flash it.

Thanks in advance,

Galaxy s4 No sound after Flashing Different Roms topic

I recently Had a problem with my Galaxy s4 Were if you flash too many roms or ones not ment for your phone Or reflashing a stock rom You could end up with out any sound or wifi.. I have figured out how to fix this problem this worked for myself. After talking with a few people I figured out how to fix this problem. What I did was headed over to www.sammobile.com and reflashed the stock rom from there and than rebooted in to recovery mode and factory reset and wiped cache rebooted the phone and worked......

Or if you have wifi just flash a different kernel for your phone....

can't boot into recovery (TWRP, CWM different flashing methods -- nothing works) topic

hey all, im stuck running the jedi elite rom (apps constantly FC, laggy, bulky) and so I downloaded AOSB rom. I booted into recovery, which was TWRP 2.6.3.8 i believe, maybe .9. I made a full backup, then I tried to install TWRP 2.7. I flashed the .zip file from the official site, then after flashing, i went to main menu, reboot, then i hit recovery. when it went to reboot into recovery, it got stuck on the black startup screen, it says

RECOVERY BOOTING.... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING Set Warranty Bit : recovery

this didnt bother me, as thats what it normally says when it boots up, but this time it was stuck. I downloaded Odin 3.09, then downloaded the TWRP 2.7 .tar and installed that, it booted into my old rom, and i tried to boot into recovery from there, same result. I used odin to boot back into the rom, downloaded goomanager, and downloaded the older 2.6.3.9 recovery and everything installed fine as far as i can tell, rebooted into recovery, nothing. I used odin to flash a CWM recovery, same results. It seems recovery is broken. Can anyone help me? I just want stock, AOSP android, tired of TouchWiz's bullcrap.

[Q]CWM recovery not flashing after odin and root topic

Hello all and thank you for your time. been doing this for a while and i cannot figure out what im doing wrong. hopefully someone can help me figure out what i missed. I was odin'ing back to try and fix a LTE modem issue. followed the sticky guide like i did originally to root. first wiped everything, then odin MDK (never OTA'd), flash MD2 kernel, ticked appropriate boxes, updated super su and binary, checked root with TBU, odin'ed MDK kernel, then flashed with rom manager CWM. root was granted at the respected times. everything seems right until i boot into recovery and the screen goes to the stock recovery and the android man has a red exclamation mark. the recovery is usable but it does not help me much..

thanks for the time and suggestions.

take care.

Stuck in boot loop after flashing CM7 topic

Hi all, hoping this is a stupidly simple fix. I wanted to update to latest stable CM7 and so downloaded and flashed it from CWRecovery,
I also ran the factory reset, and cleared the cache.
When I boot, it shows the blue loading screen, then comes to the "Welcome to ADR6300" and reverts to the CyanogenMod7 loading screen..
Then, it keeps bouncing back and forth between these two screens until I pull the battery...
