New guy rooting vibrant

Hay, my name's Nick, been reading the posts for a while, decided to join. Iv'e been wanting to root my T-mobile vibrant so i can get a more streamlined ROM will less features to make the ones i use go smoother and faster and get the full potential out of the device. I rooted it no problem with one click root, installed clockwork rom manager, and titanium backup, installed clockwork recovery (i love the clockwork orange icons by the way) put the latest "insanity 0.6.7.zip" in the root of the internal SD, and hit the "install rom" option on the rom manager and selected the .zip, and it made my phone go into the standard recovery mode, no option to install any .zip files. So i opened the rom manager and manually put it into CWM recovery so i could manually install the rom. It looked like it was going to work, but then it sent my phone back to the recovery screen with white text that said "install update.zip" so i did what it said, and it sent my phone into a boot loop. I can get into recovery mode, but when ever i try to recover my backup or access any files it says "no files found, operation canceled" or something like that. It also fails to mount via USB. I can get it to go to download mode but have not tried odin yet, because im on a mac (working on getting bootcamp working now to run windows)
Odin seems like my only option now right? anyone have any idea ware I went wrong? it must have been the incorrect update.zip file right?

I dont think u flashed a vibrant rom
Just mount your internal sd from clockwork and copy over a vibrant rom, and flash
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

have any idea why it wont let me mount my sd card? that makes me worried it wont connect to a Pc in download mode but i haven't had the opportunity to try that yet.

I'd download your rom of choice, there are a ton that are perfect fit first timers. Trigger and Bionix-V seem very stable. Pop your external sd into your computer, copy the .zip for the rom, go into recovery, select install from zip and flash your rom.
Odin is last resort. I'm not familiar with insanity, but maybe it was a bad download?

when it booted up it went to my normal "vibrant" screen, then to an unfamiliar "galaxy s 19000" screen. Im assuming there is a difference between galaxy s and vibrant right?

tried that, when i try to to install zip from sdcard it says "no files found"
i assume it's looking for files on the internal and not the external right? so i tried mounting the external sd card from the mounts and storage menu, and i got an error message that said "E:INFO is WRONError mounting SDEXT !"

In recovery, do you see any folders when you click install from zip, or is that when you get an error message?
If you see folders, can you navigate to external_sd?

i click "install zip from SD" and it brings me to a menu with the options to apply sdcard.update.zip or choose zip from sd card, and when try ether one of those options it says "No Files Found"
I have a rom in a zip on the root of my external now, just cant get to it.
Too bad i cant help trying to fix things that aren't broken

not your external sd, zip should be on your internal sd
since you can get into recovery you can try using adb to push the zip from your computer to the phone
install android sdk and drivers for vibrant then using command prompt navigate to the following directory in the android-sdk folder
\platform-tools\
then execute the following command again in cmd prompt
adb push <dir for zip> /sdcard
if that doesnt work then odin will be your only choice and you must be in download mode to do that

If you can access xda from your phone,download a vibrant rom from there.
Once it's downloaded,it will be in the root of your internal sd,under download.You can then flash it in cwm,or when the download is complete,click on it and choose Rom Manager to open it,and you can flash it from there.
Here's a link to Bionix 1.3.1,on xda.

Never rename rom zips to update.zip leave it at bionix.zip and flash through clockwork mod recovery.

now i cant figure out how to get any of the ADB commands to work, i have ADB running and it put a list of commands in he terminal but when i try any of those commands it says "command not found"
i tried
"adb devices" (c-bash: adb: command not found)
"./adb devices" (directory not found)
and "devices" (-bash: devices: command not found
)
am i doing something wrong?

first you have to be in the android sdk directory and second you must run the sdk manager process and download the rest of the sdk, the bit that you download from the website does not include the full android sdk, you will also need to have java runtime environment 5 or later installed on your pc.
also if you are running adb in linux you need to sudo or su adb commands
in linux you will need to restart the adb daemon
su
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
hope this helps

i ran the SDK and AVd manager and installed the rest of the SDK packages, then found the ADB file and drug it into the terminal, that gave me the list of commands. I plugged in the phone and tried "adb devices" and it said "command not found" tried quitting and restarting terminal a few times and still nothing

thats a security feature within linux it wont show what you are typing but rest assured its registering keystrokes, and you dont drag and drop to terminal
assuming the androidsdk is in your home directory you would type
cd /home/username/android-sdk/platform-tools
then ./adb devices (this is just a check to make sure your phone is being recognized)

i type
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
and it tells me
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools: is a directory
then i type ./adb devices
and it says
-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory
im getting really confused, it seems like im making a really simple mistake i just cant figure out what im doing wrong

ok so you are doing this from mac then? i apologize as i have no experience messing with android using a mac, id imagine itd be much like linux although terminal commands may be different. If i were you id google using adb commands in mac os and see what you can find, personally i use windows normally and am only just learning how to work linux

NS 4G - Need radio image dump

Looking for anyone with a new NS4G to dump a copy of the radio. I messed up and flashed a rom that had a gsm radio attached. rendering my phone useless as far as phones go.

root
post a good root method and how to do the dump. I can have it hotlinked in 1 hour

i used http://jaxov.com/2011/02/how-to-root-android-2-3-3-gingerbread-on-nexus-s/
worked just fine.

Once you're rooted, do
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/ns-cdma-radio.img count=12583040
Then upload that ns-cdma-radio.img somewhere ;D

?
ok thanks, i will link it when finished
the dumped file will be in my phone memory, correct?

You don't need the platform api, just the SDK tools/platform-tools , that'll save you a lot of download time.

yes i should have mentioned that. i didn't install the SDK either just the tools.

instal drivers?
look to the 2nd rooting method i posted. the 2nd file you download are the drivers. you would install it when your phone is in fastboot mode then go to device manager and upgrade the driver

unzip the rar file and make sure to select x86 or x64 driver for your pc.
you should be able to type "fastboot devices" hit enter and it will return your phone if you have the drivers installed

Also the simplest method to get the drivers might be to put phone into fastboot mode, plug USB to computer, then install PDA Net (which automatically installs the phone drivers). I personally could not get the drivers to install manually on Windows 7, had to use the PDA Net method.

CMD is giving my a Permission Denied with this command
adb shell dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/ns-cdma-radio.img count=12583040

Try this: (I am assuming you've already finished rooting and installed superuser)
run adb shell
that should give you a "$" prompt in your command window (you've just shelled into your phone)
then type "su" (without the quotes)
On your phone, a superuser request should pop up on the screen, hit Allow
Your command prompt should change to a #
then type
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/ns-cdma-radio.img count=12583040
*EDIT: made a typo in the original writeup of this post and left out the count parameter*
(no adb shell required before the dd command this time since you're already shelled into the phone)

here it is
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H3Z7RQLZ radio image for you
Also, from the first root method I cant find this file and move forward
4. Tap on the gray box that says Mount R/W
5. Tap and hold on the file install-recovery.sh and rename this file to install-recovery.sh.old
6. Once renamed, download and install the app called ROM Manager from Android Market
7. Once installed, open ROM Manager app and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option.

i didn't do that i just ran ROM manager and flashed the latest Clockwork. you're backing up the old recovery. in that step, good idea, sure. needed, not really.

Actually the point of renaming that script is to prevent clockwork from being overwritten by the stock recovery.
The default stock rom is set up to re-flash the stock recovery from cache on bootup if it detects that it's been changed (which is very annoying if you *want* clockwork recovery).

thank you very much for uploading that for me
now correct me if i'm wrong netarchy but i would use fastboot to flash the img file?
I just want to double check before i mess up once again. i'm pretty smart and a quick learner but not a pro like yourself

worked?

HELP: Deleted Everything on kindle fire!!!!!!

Ok guys, i have truly screwed up. Im not sure if this is the right thread, but i need some serious help! I had my kindle fire rooted and flashed with cm9. It was running great then next thing i know i was getting spammed with "Sorry but the process com.android.phone has stopped working." everytime i click ok it would pop up again instantly. I looked online and it suggested a double-system wipe. So i did, but without thinking, i wiped the SD folder too! Which deleted my rom! My back ups are gone, i cant restore to anything! I still have TWRP v2.1.1 on it though. But when i boot normal it just sits at a black screen, help me please....

Im kind of new to the twrp, how do i mount my SD Card specifically? i can select mount but nothing shows up on my computer as Removable Disk like it did when i first put the ROM on there. I think my best bet would be pushing the ROM via adb, but could you explain more on how to do so?

Here let me help. I accidently did that this morning. If ur new to kf. adb is complicated. This adb free way. Not steppin on any ones shoes.launch twrp. Then go to mount it should be the bottom left button. Plug ur kf in . Then click mount usb. Then your kf should be connected to ur computer. From there you can go 2 ways download the stock rom. Or download any other custom rom. So download it and google apps on your comp. then copy and paste it somewhere on the kf sd card that you remember. On ur kf after the file is done copying hit unmount. Then reboot kindle and launch it into twrp again. then just hit install then locate the rom and coresponding g.apps then install it. Then ur good to go. I would back that up on the kf using twrp and create a folder on the comp and copy and paste the folders from kf to that just incase this happens again.

Nv ur right

If your having trouble when you go to mount in twrp make sure there are no checks in the boxes of data and system then select mount you should then see your sdcard contents likely you will only see the twrp folder if not you will need to adb push a ROM zip file and a gapps zip to your sdcard to have something to flash as Josepho instructed above if you can't figure out how to do this maybe someone can assist via teamviewer to do so

I know the boot status is supposed to be like, 4000, but i cant figure out how to get it to say that. In TWRP, i can click mount and i have the four options for my cache, sdcard, so on and so on.

Try "adb push c:\cm9-02-24.zip /sdcard/" instead, I mean, since /sdcard is a directory...it sounds like it is trying to prevent you from overwriting a directory with a same-named file.
Also, it looks like your Fire is visible to ADB, but to be sure try "abd devices" and see if your Fire's serial number shows up. Probably does once you boot it through to the point where you get the error message about the directory.

Deleted everything on kindle fire hd 8.9
Hi Guys, i have been a complete idiot, managed to root kindle fire hd 8.9 installed twrp then found I couldn't add custom roms as computer was no longer seeing KF. couldn't mount usb. after two weeks of frustration and trying all combinations of installing and un-installing drivers etc got frustrated and instead of factory wipe I deleted everything. KF now doesn't show up on computer, turns on and stops at logo. occasionally unplug usb and plug back in it briefly shows up as Jem-tv- or something. so does it go in the bin or can it be rescued.

I deleted an important application on my rooted phone

Note: I'm new to XDA, so I've basically made no posts so far. I tried posting this under HTC Bolt/Evo 10, but since I have not made the 10 post threshold yet, I cannot post there, so I just made the post here. If this post needs to be relocated please let me know.
After rooting my phone (HTC Bolt), I foolishly deleted some bloatware applications without backing them up. One of them was TouchPal, a preinstalled keyboard app. I didn't think this would be much of a problem because I already had it disabled in settings and was using a separate keyboard app for other purposes.
However, when I restart my phone, it always asks me to type my pin and "decrypt" the phone. I'm not sure why it does this (previous cell phone didn't), but apparently (this is only a theory) it uses this keyboard application, so I can't actually type my PIN in to decrypt my phone.
I could be completely wrong, and I might have accidentally deleted some other important file from my phone, but either way, I don't know how to fix my phone right now.
I did a bit of research and found out I was supposed to flash a ROM onto my device. However, I don't think I can even connect my device to my computer because normally I would have to enable USB debugging and file transfers.
So basically: is there a way to connect my phone to my computer that would allow me to do whatever is necessary to let me access my phone again? (also should I be flashing a completely new ROM? I should still have everything on my phone except a couple bloatware applications, so is there an easier workaround?)
Update: I got my phone to connect to my PC by booting it in recovery mode. I'll delete this thread if I can successfully flash a ROM.

Hey!
You have already rooted your phone - perfekt!
Now you can start to your bootloader and from there you can flash a twrp recovery if you haven't yet.
If you didn't, there are many tutorials how to do: google: your phone flash custom recovery via fastboot mode
If you have done this - you can easily backup your data with twrp recovery (I think twrp is the best)
After you have done this you can make a full whipe of your system.
If you have done this maybe the failure isnt anymore, but now you have no code to unlock! If the app is still not there - go to apkmirror.com and download the app(there are even system apps). Or just google "xxx.apk download"
After this you can restore your data from twrp!
Summary:
1. Flash recovery. Via fastboot mode
2. Restore your data via recovery
3. Full Wipe
4. Restart
5. If app is still not there - search for APK and install
6. Reboot to recovery (e.g. volume up and home at starting phone, google...)
7. Restore data
8. Restart to system.
I don't know if this Is work, but it's worth to try.
If this don't work: you can transfer data from phone to PC via fastboot mode and then you can flash custom ROM or stock rom,...
I hope this works!

I remember an easier way.
Maybe you can install app via ADB in recovery mode.
Therefore you need:
custom recovery
ADB tools installed on your PC
USB Driver installed
The APK downloaded from here: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=TouchPal
If you have done this - reboot to recovery.
Navigate on your PC to the adb tools folder where adb.exe is in it. Open CMD with right click on address line.
Then write in CMD:
adb devices
If your phone is found, adb commands are working.
Then copy the APK in the folder where adb.exe is in it.
Type in CMD:
adb push xxx.apk /system/app(the address where you delete apk)
So maybe this works
So first check:
- custom recovery flashed?
- adb tools installed?
- USB driver installed?
If you have further questions, let me know.

How would I find out the address where I deleted the apk? I already had adb, USB drivers, and custom recovery installed.

How did you delete the files?
Nice, then boot into recovery start CMD where you adb is installed and write" adb devices"
Do you see your device?

The files were deleted within the phone itself through Titanium Backup, so I have no idea where the file location is. As of now, I can adb push the apk, but I don't know where to push it to.

Sorry for the late reply.
The command "adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/xxx.apk" doesn't work for some reason. It says it is not a directory. (I changed the name from xxx to the actual apk name by the way)

Okay then forget this command and only try 'adb push' command, and restart phone maybe it works. Merry Christmas bre

Yeah... I already tried that. Also I tried a bunch of other adb commands like deleting the file and it couldn't find the directory either .
Merry Christmas to you too!

Was pushing successful? What says CMD after 'adb push'?

One Plus 5. No OS issue.

So i am having a issue with my oneplus 5 and hope someone could help me out
So i have ended up wiping the entry phone in recovery, getting rid of all the internal data, including sdcard & operating system. At the moment the only thing i can get access to is fastboot & TWRP. I am trying to sideload or push a rom zip to the phone, but all i keep getting is the below:
adb sideload "Zip folder name and extension".
loading "zip"
cannot read "zip"
or i get an error that just says "Closed.
Now i have update to the latest drivers and adb and when i type "adb devices" my phone is showing...
I have also flashed the oneplus 5 recovery via fastboot, however when i go on to adb sideload, the phone doesnt show in CMD.
any help here will be appricated, as i am out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Make the file names shorter.
Alternatively, you should be able to use a flash drive through OTG and install the stuff from it.

Unfortunately, OTG isnt a selectable option and i have also tried shorting the file a names but still no look.
Thank you for the input

Use another recovery. OTG should be there, I know somebody that flashed ROMs this way.

Two things I'd try:
1. Change your directory to the one containing the zip file so the command ONLY has the filename.zip in it
2. Download the zip file again and make sure you do a md5sum check on it just in case its corrupted.

Try this:
- Boot your phone in TWRP
- Open cmd.exe on your PC
- Type adb devices (if everything is ok, it should show some numbers followed by the write "recovery")
- Move your ROM inside a folder on your PC and rename it "Rom.zip" (ie inside the folder "download")
- Using CMD.exe, move inside that folder typing "cd C:/...."
- Type "adb push Rom.zip /sdcard"
- Wait til a confirmation message will appear on CMD.exe
- Flash the ROM using TWRP

So for future reference to anyone that might have the same issue.
I fixed this issue, by flashing a older version of TWRP. This allowed me to use ADB sideload without issue & also allow OTG_USB. It also allowed me to flash files with long names.... I have tried to go back to the latest version of TWRP for OP5 but i get the errors i was getting before.
Strange, but did the fix.
Thanks all for the help & input.
