[Q] Invalid CG Version (CG: boot) topic

Hi everyone:
I followed the following steps but failed:
1. Go and download moto-fastboot here (fastboot command from sdk will work too)

2. Download boot.img from here and put it in the folder with moto-fastboot
SHA1: 4add80cb4d5d54bc382ac1cb5c9bed3602853dce (same as in 2.3.6)

3. Boot your moto in FlashBoot mode (vol up + vol down + power)

4. Open command prompt and go to the above folder

5. Check if your device is present : moto-fastboot.exe devices

6. Next type: moto-fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

You should see:
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY [ 0.760s]
writing 'boot'... OKAY [ 1.455s]

I only can see this:
C:\temp1\boot>moto-fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY [ 0.767s]
writing 'boot'... INFOPreflash validation failure
FAILED (remote: )

Please help me. thanks

[Q] CM12 Theme Engine boot animation topic

Do boot animations in the theme engine work for anyone else or am I doing something wrong? They work fine on my nexus 4 but the nexus 6 retains the default boot animation. An example is the dark material theme. When I apply it on my nexus 4, I can reboot and see the blacked out boot animation. On the nexus 6 I get the default CM boot animation. I can change it if I replace /system/media/bootanimation.zip. Adding /data/local/bootanimation.zip has no effect.

1. Both IMEI shows 'invalid' and the SIM Card in the phone when i did the reset doesn't work with the phone anymore.Unfortunately i do not have an efs backup

2.I cannot boot to download mode so i could use ODIN. voldown+menu+power boots to recovery, volup+menu+power also boots to recovery. I've tried all possible button combo including command/adb in windows no success.

No reliable service center around here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Locked in boot loop and cannot access Internal Storage to flash new custom ROMs topic

I have been tweaking around with my phone and it has finally given in. I can access CWM Recovery Mode but cannot access internal storage via a computer. Mounting USB Storage in Recovery Mode also does not work. I am not quite sure if my Internal Memory is corrupted or if I should just format my internal memory and try to mount it again.

Suggestions?

GT-i9500 boot loop with a difference topic

So I have a GT-i9500, its a year old and it started with a little problem.

A few months ago it got stuck in a boot loop, the one where it gets stuck on the Galaxy S4 logo. I pushed the power button a few times and it booted properly.

Well its now stuck in that boot loop again and no matter the amount of times I play with the power button I can't get it out of the boot loop.

I have tried everything.

Here are some of the issues:

If I put the battery in the phone boots automatically.
If I try the POWER + VOL DOWN + HOME combo I get into the download mode but then it restarts and goes back into the boot loop
I can't put it into recovery mode, it just fails to respond to the POWER + VOL UP + Home combination.

I have tried different batteries, I've left the phone without a battery for days to see if it would fix the issue. Nothing works.

Any suggestions or insights?

Xperia Z C6603 doesn't boot properly, need help topic

Hi folks, i have a Xperia Z C6603 with unlocked Bootloader. I installed the latest 4.4.4 Stock Rom (.292) via Flashtool. The only thing it shows after it boots up, is the black screen with the back button (take a look at the pic) and it reboots after a couple of seconds. I've also flashed a 4.1.2 Stock Rom (.253) it boots up normally, but there is no WiFi or cellular connection. It also shows me IMEI unknown :( I've also tried the Emma program, with the same black screen and instantly reboot :( Anyone knows what i can do ?

Can't boot recovery via fastboot topic

I have an AT&T HTC One that was converted a Developer Edition, so it is S-OFF and has an unlocked bootloader, otherwise it is running completely stock non-rooted Lollipop firmware. I want to flash a custom recovery, but the safer side of my mind always tests it by doing "fastboot boot recovery.img" first before flashing it. The problem is on this phone it will load, I can see the green bar on the side of the Hboot screen go up, and fastboot says it sent the file successfully, but it just locks up and does nothing, I have to long-press power for 15 seconds or so to get it to shutdown to get it to respond again.

I have tried several versions of TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 and all have the same results. I am very familiar with using fastboot and adb, so I don't think I am doing anything wrong, but I am scared to flash the recovery image if I can't boot it.

Any ideas?

[Q] Wiped phone, can't boot topic

Hi guys, don't know if this is the right place to post but you seem friendly. So I was previously on cloudy G3 and thought i would flash ressurection remix instead. I downloaded the rom an gapps as usual. When I was going to wipe my phone i wanted to do a total reset so I went in to twrp, went to wipe, then advanced and checked everything and swiped to wipe. Now the problem is that I can't boot. Could I have deleted the installed rom aswell? I can still enter recovery but I don't have a rom on the phone to flash. When I plug in my phone to the computer it was recognized with the windows beep but I cant find it in the explorer so there is no way To put the rom on the phone itself. Does anyone have a clue of what I can do? Help would be highly appriciated at this point!

How to change picture of "Drag to unlock your nook" screen that shows after boot? topic

How to change picture of "Drag to unlock your nook" screen that shows after boot, for NSTG with firmware 1.2.1 ?

This screen shows the photo of the park pines tree, and I want to change it but don't know where it needs to be changed.

I thought it was /system/media/screensaver/default.png as this was the same, but having changed that, I'm still seeing the tree pic.

Stuck at boot loop. White Amazon Logo topic

Hi guys,

I was in the final step (7) of this gude: http://www.aftvnews.com/start/
Which is installing the latest pre-rooted stock software, (version 51.1.4.1_514013920) After pushing the rom to /sdcard, I rebooted the device so that I could flash it via clockworkmod recovery, but I was not able to select the recovery option with my keyboard. So I decided to re-do the installation of Rbox's kernel boot menu. Now, I'm stuck at a boot loop with just the white Amazon logo showing up. Is my device bricked and is there a way to fix it?
