After having to take a couple of flights, the phone's various features stopped working. For starters, it doesn't detect an sd card (I've tried a few, and then ones are detected on the computer), nor does it exit from airplane mode.
The phone started freezing whenever I tried to turn off the wifi, so first I tried to restore it from a nandroid backup. That ended up in a failure (it said to run the nand script by hand, but I didn't have my computer where I was), so I went and wiped everything.
Now, I'm left with a wiped ezhero rom, which doesn't exit airplane mode and doesn't detect an sd card. I can't adb to it, as adb doesn't find the device (it had no problem doing that before these problems started happening). Recovery mode starts, but it prints that there's no space left on the device, and since the sd card isn't detected, I can neither restore nor flash a different rom. Adb doesn't find the device when it is in a recovery mode. I have wifi and internet, but no market access (I'm getting connection errors in it).
Is there anything I can do to fix this? There's still a terminal program on the phone itself, and I do have a working 'su'.
UPDATE 1: I can go into the hboot screen, and fastboot at least works. Is it possible to flash the phone to the first original htc hero rom from there? (from ubuntu)

Hi
As many people here i've encountred a problem with fota while being using a rooted ROM (g.lewarne ROM)
Now my phone is bricked. I can't go into recovery nor Download mode. I only have the LG logo for moments with error: secure booting error!
cause: boot certification verify
When i plug my phone it is not recognized in the hardware manager. I've already installed Drivers.
All i have in the hardware manager is a new hard under name QHSUSB_BULK that needs driver.
I have just one hope to get my phone alive, by reconizing it again by my computer, then maybe i can go under download mode.
I've tried everything but nothing could work without download mode.
PS: I've made a hard reset, which was maybe a silly decision.
By the way, after installing the OTA my phone went into CWM Recovery, it was detectable by adb, i used adb to reinstall TWRP, then i used command
"adb reboot download" instead of "adb reboot recovery", then i had never seen the CWM recovery again, only the mentioned above error.
After few seconds my phone screen goes black but the phone is still on since i can see light at the corners of the phone.
and it is not reachable by adb.
It makes me crazy now.
once i plug it to the computer it gives me plenty drives to format and one drive with only one folder inside called image, only readable, with many files inside.
Could you please help me to get my phone alive?:crying:
Hi everyone,
I have a big issue after having flashed my XT320 : when it starts, I have a setup wizard failure (com.android.setupwizard) asking me to force closing it... and it does it again without ending (error message, close, error message, close..). The consequence is that I can't use my phone anymore (the weird thing is I see the incoming sms, but that's all).
The problem is that my phone is not detected by RSDlite anymore (and even by Motorola device manager). ADB isn't working when I try to connect when the phone is in USB mass storage mode (device not found), which could be normal as I can't enable USB debugging mode. The only thing I can do is power on the phone in recovery mode, then plug it to the PC, then use the terminal to make fastboot recovery (I used a custom recovery.img taken from xda). Thus, I might be able to reflash the phone with another ROM, but I am not sure... I figured I also could enable USB debugging mode with ADB, but I can't use ADB
Anyway, this is what I've done before I was stucked :
- enable fastboot (it wasn't)
- root my phone (ok)
- install CWM
- backup my data
- install CyanogenMod 7.2.zip and corresponding google apps on my SD card
- restart in recovery
- wipe data & cache
- choose install from sdcard option
- run cyanogenmod 7.2 and google apps
- reboot
If you have a genious idea, please tell me, I will be REALLY grateful !
Thanks
EDIT:
I have also installed Motorola Device Manager (and I am under windows 8). I was wondering if there was an issue with the drivers, but I tried to reinstall, reboot, with no changes... I also tried to force windows using the drivers in Motorola folder, but windows says the device won't work properly. I am quite sure there is a driver issue too (I've just tried to use Android root software, but the phone is not detected).
I have been using the stock 4.4.4 for a while with some occasional crashes and reboots in Skype. Then one day, when I turned on my device, the boot loop struck out of the blue! I had only installed some apps, nothing ROM related was changed.
I need some expert help with recovering my user files (some images in non standard folders, game saves etc..)
Symptoms:
*The device is stuck at the circle logo and won't boot up.
*The boot loader is unlocked, USB debugging is enabled and the device was rooted before with version 4.2, upgraded to stock after that at least twice and lost root.
*When connected to PC, auto driver loading fails with MTP but I hear a USB connection sound when I turn on and off the phone. Although, the device is not recognized in "My computer". I see an "Android Device" and/or "android bootloader interface" in Device Manager.
What I tried:
*Tried wugfresh's toolkit and re-installed all google drivers but when I run adb/fasboot commands from within the toolkit, my device is not listed in either list. I get a blank list of devices.
* I can get to the recovery mode in stock boot loader after the "No data" screen and tried wiping user cache, did no good.
What I would like to achieve:
* Ideally I would like to be able to boot into the system without losing any user data and run my backup app and/or connect via USB to backup files on PC.
* If above wouldn't be possible, accessing files externally would also do as a last resort.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Do you have clockwork mod installed?
You might be able to pull the important stuff over ADB when the phones in recovery
If ADB on your computer recognizes and can connect to your phone you can probably pull off the files

Thanks for the suggestion. As a matter of fact, while waiting desperately for a reply here, I tried to flash TWRP recovery and managed to adb pull data and sdcard directories over to my PC. And then a factory reset brought my device back to life.
It's a bummer that all of my home screen settings and account settings are reset..
The question now is how to copy over the backup data back to the phone..
adb push will put them back, but your phone will probably mount normally and show up in 'My Computer' now so you could just do that.

I'm glad you were able to pull off the files from the phone.
You can use the adb push command to put the data back into the phone
Try this : adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file
or
adb -s [yourdeviceserialnumberhere] push /system/[whateverdirectory]

The post clearly explains multiple adb commands
Hope it helps!
So yesterday I installed TWRP alongside CM13.
After that I got some problems with the ROM (rebooting, slow charging) so I decided to return to stock. To flash the stock .kdz I needed to go into download mode, that however did not work my phone just booted normally into CM when I tried to use the method to get into download mode (vol+ & USB). I even tried to force download mode through adb on PC however that also only rebooted the phone.
Then I did a wipe in TWRP (everything except Internal Storage) and shut off the phone.
Now I have the problem that I can not boot (because I obviously have no ROM installed anymore) but I also can't get into recovery anymore.
Also my phone seems to be in "only charge" mode from CM so my PC does not even recognize it correctly. I can't even see it in device manager and neither adb, nor the flash tool nor anything recognizes it.
When I connect my phone to the PC it just shows the CM battery icon that you see when you charge your phone while it's turned off and the LED is glowing yellow.
All of this are things that were new with CM so I guess there is still something left from CM that does prevent my G2 from acting as MTP.
Please tell me there is still hope...
Hi,
I have unlocked Xiaomi Mix 3 5g. Phone never been rooted and I've never tried to apply custom ROM. SInce I've got it I'm on original software: at the moment MIUI Global 12.0.3. I've only had TWRP recovery applied but this wiped out ant went back to original recovery after my phone updated itself last time to 12.0.3.
Basically I've had phone ready to apply custom ROM but never done it accualy. I was always on original MIUI and TWRP recovery was applied to my phone.
A the moment after I connect phone to PC using cable, smartphone discovers PC connection but on PC I cannot see internal memory of my phone. And yes I have all needed drivers installed and I've tried using 3 different cables...
I think that may happened after my phone updated itself last time and went back to original recovery...
The worst problem is that now I cannot flash back to TWRP. When phone is connected to PC and I go to CMD, typing ''adb boot fastboot'' command is working and phone reboots itself to FASTBOOT MODE but once I'm in fastboot mode commands are not working and on flash attempt I only see < waiting for any device >
Any solution for this ?
Try using usb 2.0 ports or different computers.
I sometimes get mine to flash by inputting the command first then plugging the phone in afterwards.
