you can push a custom rom with adb
or
flash stock firmware with odin
or
use this method to fix md5 mismatch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7004365&postcount=1
you can access adb when you boot in custom recovery

will it work if i flash some other rom like not the stock rom? after that will i be able to restore my backup which had the stock rom and everything working?
and yes i have a custom rom setup on the memory card already.

Bad flash with 32B HTC Magic

Hello,
I've flashed the Ginger Yoshi 5.1 on my phone but I didn't like it and wanted to switch back to RC4.
I tried restoring my RC4 Nandroid backup via Amon Ra's recovery but it failed with the following message: "could not do nandroid-mobile.sh" (or something like that).
I decided then to wipe the system and the cache and do a clean flash of the RC4.
Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the splash screen.
I have the latest radio and the unlocked xxx.xxx0013d SPL.
I can access to fastboot.
Is there a way to boot through Amon Ra's Recovery ?
Thank you guys
Never mind, I found the solution.
You can boot into Recovery mode while pressing HOME + OFF
Reflashing right now !
Whipe
Hey maybe its smart to do a superwhipe i do the superwhipe, you can download en read more about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
it works for me just put the config and the superwipe in the root of youre sd, and flash the superwipe twice, and than youre rc5 gingerrom.
I'm pretty new to this sort of phone's i got my 32b like 3 days
Hope this could help ya...
Thank you for your reply,
Anyway, it's working fine with another wipe. But I'll download Ohsaka's Superwipe if the problem comes back...
Yet basically I wanted to restore my nandroid backup. How can I do this without having a fail ? I have renamed the backup, but I'm sure it's not corrupted...
Thanks !

It probably doesn't like what you renamed it to. Try renaming it again to something like "AAA".

Nandroid backup always freeze in random files - Please help

Good morning people.
I rooted my Wildfire with this guide
and then I tried to keep a Nandroid backup before flashing CM7
Nandroid backup allways freeze at random .odex files (at 40-45%)
The first time i said "WTF lets continue..."
I wiped the devices data and trying to install CM7... freeze (didnt start the installation)!
Then I tried it with CM6... no luck (freeze at 30-40%)
I formated my SD to FAT32... Tried again... no luck
I changed SD with my wifes (the one that came with wildfire)... Tried again... No luck
I restored a stock ROM via FastBoot
I rooted again
I tried to keep a Nandroid backup.... same s#it...
Can someone help me?

[Q] phone bricked, HELP!

phone: galaxy s4 i9505
country: australia
its on the Optus network.
i installed i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4 using ODIN 3.06
then tried to install pac_jfltexx-nightly-20131014
i installed CWM, all good, i tried to install PAC MAN ROM and i got an error, it didnt finish the install and now it wont go past the splash screen.
i was planning on reinstalling the original firmware but my phone doesnt recognize my sd card (i can boot in recovery mode)
i did the wipe data/cache, still nothing.
what can i do??
Please don't panic, you're phone isn't bricked. Do you have a backup of your stock Samsung rom? Odin the CWM recovery again and restore back the rom.
Take a look at the other thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483148

If you can get to the bootloader/recovery you're not bricked.
The moment you can't do anything with your phone except throw it at somebody is the moment its bricked. You are ok my friend as posted above just flash another rom but I am confused if your phone would only go into recovery why would you not try and restore backup or just flash another rom?
Edit: Hopefully you made a backup of your original rom? Also what recovery are you using

Hmm that's weird, have you tried re flashing your recovery maybe something is broken there? have you tried other roms? If using TWRP try to update it or change to CWM or vice versa
Yea I updated to 2.6.3.4 which as of my knowledge is the latest
Sorry for my noobness :/ it is really bugging me as I think it has something to do with having cyanogen installed before but then again after pursuing the flash tool and restoring back to stock I can't think what is wrong
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Double Flash seemed to fix it
I flashed the ROM after returning to stock again and before flashing it wiped all partitions and it still stuck on boot so i went straight back into recovery and flash again this time without wiping anything as i was only writing over the StockMOD install and it seems to work
So the solution for me seemed to me to flash it twice wiping before the first and after it fails to boot just flash it again without wiping.
I now have it up and running and I'm very happy with it
Thanks for those who tried to help me much appreciated
