cant seem to get into recovery mode so i can flash modaco

Hi there i have a sprint cdma hero I followed the instructions here:
theunlockr.com/2009/11/07/how-to-root-your-cdma-htc-hero-sprint-verizon/
Once i gained root access I typed on my pc via the android sdk
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
I then shut the phone off and press home + power to get into the recovery console so I can tell it to recover the modaco update.zip on the sdcard
Only thing is i never get to that screen, it just doesnt go to the "blue screen" I get a white screen with 3 skateboarding androids at the bottom
The only screen i have is a white screen with the following info
HERO XC
HBOOT-1.41.0000<HERO2000>
MICROP-0110
TOUCH PANEL SYN0104
RADIO-1.04.01.09.21

Any help would be appreciated

You are holding the power button while holding the home button.
Just press the power while holding the home button, don't hold the power button also.

Only hold home and press power...
And side question...
Why the modaco rom? that is very outdated...
Read the Rom wiki at the top of this forum and read through those roms.. Modaco abandoned the hero a few months ago..

Ahh i see i didnt know there were more mods, well the main reason im doing this is so i can get wifi tether to work. What would be the best rom out there for this? and overall best rom?

Personally I run the Fresh 2.1d because it was the first with a complete Wifi tether working.
But DamageControl or any of the 2.1 roms have it working, just read the changelog in each post.. They tell you what's working and what's not.

its easier to get into recovery if you hold volume down and press power on.

Hey thanks that worked perfectly I'm at another roadblock though. I got into the recovery screen, i installed update.zip (I used damageControl zip file) and now it just puts into a htc quietly brilliant screen then it looks like something doesnt load and then reboots. It loops the reboot continuously. Is there any steps i should take into fixing this?

Ok this is what i did
i got the RA screen like recommended by holding volume down then pressing power. But there is one more step i had to take, that was holding down the home button once in that screen.
From there i had the reboot problem, i went back into RA and did a wipe. I thought it was going to wipe my system and bring it back to pre-damagecontrol. Booted up and it was a fresh copy of damagecontrol with all my contacts still there
Thanks for the help guys

[How-To] Button combos for the Blessed

Bricked your phone? You've come to the right place, if you're one of the blessed. A lot of the newer Captivates have button combinations disabled. Before you go modding your phone, make sure that you can get into download or recovery using these button combos. If you can't, your best bet is to return your phone to an AT&T store and beg for a new one.
THE BUTTON COMBOS
Power-power
Download-volume up+volume down+plug in usb cord
Recovery-volume up+volume down+power
There you have it. Thanks for reading.

What is the point of this when there are 3 methods in the Odin 3 one click thread which is a sticky? Just curious how this deserves its own thread.

When my phone was stuck at the Galaxy S logo, i was able to send the adb reboot recovery command to it to get into recovery mode.
Are bricked phones normally stuck at the logo too, or was it just me?

I wanted to link to just the button combos in the bible. Also, the one click Odin isn't a sticky anymore.
From mah fonez

Why don't you just link to a single post in a thread or post in the odin thread and link to that single post? Just a suggestion so there isn't too many threads started for just a little information like you posted. Great work on the bible though. Glad to see a lot of stuff being compiled into one thread.

How does this relate to development? With a title like this, i thought we had some button hacks.
BAH!

You should also include more than the button combinations as well if you're going to make this post useful. Simply holding the volume buttons + power will do absolutely nothing on my phone. I spent a good amount of time looking for more detailed instructions on recovery mode when the phone was new and no one posted them. There are also a lot of posts that talk about the at&t splash screen flashing and when to release the buttons but that's not terribly useful either. Download mode is a little more covered but still has lots of people giving different instructions. For those the future new people that might read this thread,
For Recovery mode:
Power off
Hold both volume buttons
Push power
Release power when you see the AT&T splash screen
Release the volume buttons a second or so later
After the splash screen goes away you should be in recovery mode
Continuing to hold all three buttons will simply cause the AT&T splash screen to flash at you. I can also continue to hold the volume buttons after releasing power but it is not needed.
For Download mode:
Power Off
Plug USB into computer
Hold both volume buttons
Plug USB into phone
The above will immediately send my phone into download mode. For flashing, most people recommend the steps below to maximize the chance of success with Odin
Power off
Remove battery, sim, microsd
Open Odin
Plug USB into computer
Hold both volume buttons
Plug USB into phone
Put battery in
You should now be in download mode and free to flash with odin.

I agree with the holding volume up and down while plugging the phone into the computer with Odin opened and configured to flash soon as it detects the phone.
All other methods only add confusion.

How do I get out of download mode?

oh nvm, I just removed battery and I could reboot it fine.

I am stuck on this screen

I am on downloading mode but the screen looks like this I am using windows 7 64bit, I tried installing 32 bit on another partition to see if it helped but it didn't
Am I missing something or do you have to have something installed before the procedure

You have odin started before you plugged in your usb cable into your phone or computer? Does you computer recognize you phone in mass storage mode? The screen shot you provided shows the phone is not recognized by odin.

I got it now but I am stuck even further odin finished no errors and now the phone just loops on the att logo, or if I try to plug the usb both up and down volume buttons pressed to enter recovery mode again it just loops the battery charging any ideas thanks

This is all covered thoroughly in the "READ BEFORE FLASHING" sticky. Which everyone should read BEFORE flashing!!! Hey, what a coincidence.

In Case Of Emergency!

Hey,
I guess I should have looked before posting in panic..
Just made a new thread, but I will post it here as well!
So, I got my Nexus 10 today. Super nice tablet. I wanted to root it and unlock the bootloader - unlocking the bootloader went fine, and I managed to flash CWM recovery. However, I forgot the enable USB Debugging under developer tools before I started all this..
My question now, how do I get this thing to boot again? And what is the smartest move now to root it?
Thanks!

Did you get this fixed/ sorry for the late response Tapatalk unsubscribed me from my own thread.

This isnt an emergency. But pointless starting a new thread. Ive come from HTC so im new with the nexus series.
What would be the best way to:
Root, install CWM, install rom and kernel.
Ive seen a few different methods, but i just wondered whats the best most efficient way. Any opinions on a rom and kernel would be great to. Stable, smooth and customization aspects are the 3 main things, and wifi must work as i need it for work.
Before its attack the noob, im going out soon thats the only reason i have not researched properly.
thanks
Vizzy

This by far is the best method to unlocking and rooting it.

Also AOKP is stable 4.2.1 with lots of customizable options. But CM10.1 is good as well... Less options to customize though.

I would advise not using a toolkit unless you really must (kinda see little need for them on a Nexus device, but that's just me), but here's a brief rundown of what I do:
- Get Android SDK (not the ADT Eclipse Bundle thing; can use this though but it's like a 20MB vs 400MB download)
- Download USB Drivers and Platform Tools from SDK
- Add platform-tools Folder to Windows PATH (so I can run fastboot and adb commands from anywhere)
- Reboot N10 to Bootloader
- Connect it to PC and install ADB Bootloader driver (downloaded from SDK)
- Unlock Bootloader with fastboot oem unlock command
- Flash TWRP with fastboot command (CWM I guess works too, but I prefer TWRP)
- Reboot into Recovery
- Wipe everything (might have to format Data at first if coming straight from bootloader unlock and reboot to wipe everything else)
- Either transfer the custom ROM, Gapps, and (optional) Kernel zips to a flash drive and hook it to my N10, or adb push said zips to /sdcard
- Flash zips
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik from TWRP
- Reboot and profit
- If your going to install a custom ROM, you don't need to have an already rooted device prior to doing so (you can go straight from pure Stock to Custom)
- My preferred custom ROM is rasbeanjelly and my Kernel is franco.Kernel (rascarlo mentioned he might release an update later today for rasbeanjelly)
- I hear AOKP (and AOKP-based ROM's) has a problem with the navbar in Portrait mode (as in, it doesn't show). Just something to take note of if you use apps that force Portrait (like Google Wallet or Ingress for example)

Ohh I will probs do it that way then.
I already have fastboot and SDK installed on my laptop for my HTC can these be used or do I need specifics for the nexus 10? Obviously I'll need drivers for the n10 but is everything else the same as I already have.

How can I factory reset when I forgot my owner password?
Embarrassing situation...
I am the owner of a Nexus 10 that is set for multiple users. I got bored late the other night and changed my screen lock from a pattern to a password. It is now 3 days later I still can't recall the password. My wife does not employ a screen lock so I can still access her "side". Unfortunately, she is not the owner and therefore does not have "Factory Data Reset" as an option.
What are my options?

Factory Reset by going into the Bootloader.
If your tablet is on, power it off.
Press and hold Power until the device powers on, then immediately press and hold Volume Down (while still pressing Power). You will see the word Start with an arrow drawn around it.
Press Volume Down twice to designate Recovery mode.
Press Power to restart into Recovery mode. You will see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
While holding down Power, press Volume Up.
Use the volume keys to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press Power to select it.
Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press Power to select it.
Note: If at any point during the above steps your tablet becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the power button for several seconds.

Under Development Tools make sure u have USB debugging checked and have the correct drivers installed in your computer so it recognizes the device.

Hi, i post here because didn't find any other post open and about this problem... Is about Bluetooth earphones. In have two, one sennheizer mm100 and another Philips shb7110/10. My nexus 10 didn't see any of them. I use to use them with my galaxy tab (P1000) and they work pretty well.
Any tip?
Thanks in advance.

Is it just
'adb push romname.zip'
Then
'adb push kernel.zip'

Hi everyone
My first post here. I have purchased the Nexus 10, great piece of kit but today it just froze and turned off. I can't turn it back on at all I have tried:
Holding power button for more than 30 seconds (up to 2 minutes)
Holding the power button and vol down
Holding the Power button + vol up and down at the same time
Whenever I connect a power cable to the table and press the power button I see the battery icon on the center of the screen. Does anyone know what I can do?
Thanks

Nexus 4 Recovery "dead android" issue

Hey guys,
I know there is already a thread out there (which I also posted in), so excuse me for my impatience, but I really want to fix my N4...
So I unlocked my Nexus 4 bootloader, tried to root it, thought I did but then SuperSU failed and failed and failed and I couldnt get it to work. I didnt make a Nandroid backup (silly me). I got sick of it and tried to unroot/lock my N4 again, using the "How to Unroot Nexus 4 to Stock 4.2 Jelly Bean on Windows!" youtube guide. In that guide, I fail on 8:45-ish where he sees the dead android and then accesses the recovery menu by pressing the 3 buttons. My N4 just reboots or shuts down. So here is the deal:
- I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my device, only it wasnt rooted when I was finished and after a lot of trying to root it, I wanted to flash stock android on it (4.2.2 according to the guide).
- Everything went well untill I had to factory wipe/reset my N4 (youtube guide at around 8:45). When I press power + volume up + volume down or power + volume down or power + volume up my N4 just either shuts down or reboots. When I try to boot normally I am stuck at the nexus X loading screen.
- Now, I cant boot my nexus, I cant wipe my nexus, I cant access it from the PC using ADB and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I CAN DO.
I signed up specifically for this issue and I feel like such a douche, because it was running smooth with 4.3 and I just wanted to try out more of Tasker...
Please guys!

The correct button combo is volume up and power. Your phone is most likely rebooting or shutting down because you're holding the buttons too long. Press power and then volume up briefly and quickly let go. The menu will appear.

I got ninja'd by El Daddy and can't figure out how to delete my post.

That seems to be a very specific button combo indeed, I tried it so many times before and I failed miserably. Thank you so much.
I should make a back up more often! I have been stressing over this for two days...

[Q] Help!!! Soft Brick and don't know what to do!

OK, I managed to really really screw my phone up!!!
I installed a 4.4.2 rom (crDroid) and everything was working fine.... USB debugging on and rooted.
Next I started playing with LCD Density settings and managed to get get a device that won't show anything past the LG logo.... just a blank screen.
I have tried connect it to my computer and using adb to push a new build.prop to fix it, but I can't seem to get this thing recognized via adb anymore.... all I see is an "unauthorized" device and I can't see the screen (b/c it blank) to make any changes to actual device.
I am really really worried that I have completely borked this device.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Another thing I should note.... I have tried many many times to boot directly into CWM (which I have installed version 6.0.4.4.). Unfortunately I think the LCD problem is killing me here.... I hold down the power+vol-down and then press them again when I hit the LG logo, but at this point the thing just goes blank.... I never actually see a CWM screen.
Again, thank in advance for your help... I am very very desperate and really have no idea what to do at this point.

OK, sorry for the freakout... I got this sorted out... it turns out I was following the wrong instructions on how to get into hardware reset mode.... for the vs980 you need to do the following...
1. press and hold power + vol-down
2. as soon as you see the LG Logo...
- release the power + vol-down buttons
- then immediately re-press only the power button
This should do it... some people were (I'm guessing for the other versions of the G2) were saying you needed to "re-press" both the power and the vol-down button and this was not working for me.
