Root [AT&T] Stuck in ClockworkMod Recovery

iowabowtech said:
Yeah that sounds like a fine plan. Just to be sure, you left that rom zipped when you pushed it right? I'm sure you did, I just forgot it lists all the contents separately on a zip push. It's been awhile since I've pushed a zip so it's probably completly normal.

I'm not sure if you do have to retry if it would have to completely redo the thing OR if it might pick up where it left off and fill in the missing stuff? I'm hoping the latter if it comes to that. Then maybe it's just a matter of doing this a few times to get the whole works there. I suspected this could happen...did I mention how flippin big the G2's roms are? :p

oooh crap I didn't leave it zipped... shitshitshit lol. Yeah you did :p As long as it works I don't care how long it takes

Should I restart with the zipped file?

Yikes, that could be bad. :(

I'd like to believe it won't be a major problem unless you had a really full sdcard in which case we're adding a crap ton of files and that could be why it stopped...because it's out of space or it's getting confused having so many files on there. Let's just start by hoping that's not the case. If it is, we can delete them, it'd be a bit of a pain via adb but doable.

So yeah, definitely stop it asap. You need to have that rom in it's original zipped format for this to work.

So now when I try it it says this
 
You have to add the zip extension into the command at the end of the rom name. So it's going to be:

adb push ATT-Stock-Rooted-D80010d.zip /data/media/0

Well shit now when I press enter nothing happens... >.<

That's what I thought might happen. It's working! If it wasn't working it would have given you an error after hitting enter. Let it go and be patient like no other. I'm over paranoid sometimes but if your computer monitor ever turns off for lack of activity, I'd jostle the mouse every several minutes just to play it safe. Not sure it'd hurt things but no sense in taking chances at this point. Keep the PC churning along.
 
Like I said earlier, you'll know when it's done because it'll eventually show you the filesize and time of transfer. But only when it's done will you see that in your command prompt.

AWESOME this is great. Alright time to camp Reddit for hours just to wait till this is done.

After its finished I just follow these instructions?
"To do that type the command adb reboot recovery at which point it should do a quick reboot and end up back in recovery again. Now type exit, you're done with the command prompt.
Now use the menu in clockwork to flash your rom. It should be on the root of the /sdcard at this time. So "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", select the rom you pushed there and let it load. Give it plenty of time upon reboot to boot up. First bootup can take awhile on a new install."
 
No problem. I'm guessing a little here but I suspect and hope it'll be done inside of an hour. If you have a good transfer rate going on, possibly less than 30 minutes. Some speculation on my part there but if I'm doing the math right, that'd take into account a pretty wide range of speeds that would be typical for adb file transfer.
 
Hmm, I was kinda hoping it'd be done by now. Mind taking a screenshot of your command prompt window? Just want to verify its looking ok.
 
Well even though I haven't heard back I had some time so I decided to post up some options if it didn't end up transferring.

1.) Did some reading and I think I figured out how to use adb sideload. It's very similar to adb push. Only caveat is that you may need to update your sdk if you haven't already. If not, I'd just try it with your current configuration. Worst case, it doesn't work. But I'm THINKING since it's a function of clockworkmod, that it MAY show the transfer progress either by way of a status bar, maybe a % transferred, etc. If so, you'd at least know if it was working.

So since you already have the rom in platform-tools, you're all set since that's a requirement for adb sideload also. So then you select the adb sideload option in clockworkmod. Once that's done, open a command prompt, navigate to your platform-tools directory as before, and then run the adb devices command as usual. Then run this command:

adb sideload ATT-Stock-Rooted-D80010d.zip

2.) If you're still having problems pushing or sideloading a rom, it may be time to pull anchor and switch to the plan of reflashing stock. Remember in your previous state (couple days ago) you weren't able to turn your phone off without it auto rebooting into recovery. But since then, stuff happened which has allowed you to turn the phone off. So then, your chances of getting into "download mode" are very good if not almost a cinch. So you could then reconsider this whole deal:

LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) - xda-developers

I think you're a green light for that now. Downfalls of that...you lose root so you'd have to redo that if you want rooted again. Also, you lose all the contents on your /sdcard. Not sure if that's a big deal or not but it'll be wiped. If it were a big deal, you could retrieve some or all /sdcard contents using adb beforehand.

Good luck. :)

Now it's not recognizing the device when I type in adb devices... :o

And I can't seem to get into download mode... :\

Dang. You can either try to restart the machine or try an adb kill-server command, then retry adb devices.

Not sure what to say about the download mode, I figured you'd be good for that. You turned the phone all the way off first right? Then press and hold volume UP and while continuing to hold volume up, you plug in the usb cord.

Should I try the abd kill command while its in recovery mode?
 
Ok well at least adb is back to working. I think you'll need to update your SDK (tools and platform-tools) if you want to use adb sideload. Its a somewhat newer thing so only newer SDK binaries support it. I mentioned the method for doing that several posts back.

Otherwise its keep trying to get the phone off, then to download mode in order to flash the phone back to stock.

i got into download mode omfg yes
 
You'll have to reroot afterward then reflash either clockwork or TWRP. There's a backup option in both of those recoveries that make a nandroid backup.
