Please Help!!! CM Omega HD 2.0 System Software Update problem

[herp_doctor]

---

I received an System Software Update on my CM OHD2.0. I clicked on it and downloaded it into my OHD2.0.
Then after, there's this icon on my notifications bar that states: "System Software Update. Download has been completed.". Now i then go click on it, and it brings me to a page: "System Software Update. Ready to update phone." It has two options below: "Update Now" and "Update Later".
Now once i click on "Update Now", it goes to another page that states: "System Software Update. Ready to update your device. Your device is not available during update. Continue?". And it has two options again: "Yes" or "No".
I then clicked on "Yes", an then my phone turned off, reboots itself and goes into recovery mode.

What shall i do now?

My options in this CWM-based Recovery mode are:
-reboot system now
-install zip from sdcard
-install zip from sideload
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
-power off

What do i do now? What should i choose next?
I don't wanna damage my phone and render it useless.
Can someone here help me please?
I'm not technical, matter of fact, i don't even know what these all means.

HELP PLEASE!

you updated OTA w/ a custom rom?

edit :
you can still boot in recovery so walay problema
i take it wala kay nandroid backup.

- restore factory settings
- if dili madala sa factory, mount usb storage via recovery, copy the custom rom sa storage
then install zip (custom rom)

You should flash to the original stock recovery in order to install the update...

thanks for the quick reply sir...

how do i do that? dili baya ko techie-guy, and i don't understand 90% of all the words or jargons or process involved. i got this rooted before because someone (i dunno where he is now) from the net was kind enough to send me a detailed and idiot/noob-friendly step by step guide on how to root my phone. till now i don't even know what root means.

my starmobile engage 7hd tablet ky kutob ra sa white android logo. i tried to reset it using the power + volume buttoms method, it won't work. ky after nako i-factory reset, it goes back to the same problem. over and over again...

@werty; Mobile Uncle Tools is an app, isn't it? In that case, it won't work for him since he's stuck in a recovery loop. He's going to need to install the recovery another way.

@herp_doctor; You really should have waited until you understood what rooting is and what you could do with it before even attempting it. It's like trying to drive a customized race car while you only have a student's drivers license. You just weren't ready yet. In any case, for your issue, the best solution would be to wipe the FOTA partition, thereby stopping the OTA update. However, the procedure for doing so involves ADB terminal commands and has the possibility of permanently bricking your phone if you make a mistake or don't know what you're doing. It's too risky to try and walk you through it. The alternative, then, is to install the stock recovery so that the OTA update can proceed. The downside to that, however, is that you run the risk of losing root, though you can root it again. If you're willing to risk that, then here's how you can install the stock recovery.

There are two possible methods (actually, there's 3, but I'm not comfortable running you through SP Flash as I haven't used it) of installing the stock recovery if you're stuck in a recovery loop (like you are now): either via fastboot, or by flashing a zip through your current custom recovery. The recovery zip is the fastest, but it's untested. The fastboot method is safer and more reliable, IMHO. However, fastboot requires that you have had ADB and fastboot installed on your PC. If you don't have that yet, then you need to do that. You also need to have the MT6589 Vcom Drivers and the USB drivers; install them both if you don't already have them. If you have them already, proceed as follows (if you run into an error, stop, then tell us what errorr).

Method #1 : Flashing Stock Recovery via Fastboot
Needed files: cherrymobile-omegaHD2-v49-recovery.img. Rename it to recovery.img.
1. Boot your phone in fastboot mode. If you're currently in the CWM Recovery, navigate to the advanced menu and select reboot bootloader. It should say fastboot on the screen, or if you're given several boot options, then select fastboot.
2. Connect your phone to the PC via the USB cable and open a command prompt. Check to see if fastboot can detect your phone by typing fastboot devices. If it remains blank or gives an error, then the drivers may not be installed correctly on your PC.
3. In the command prompt terminal, navigate to the folder where you placed the recovery.img. Type the following:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4. Reboot by typing fastboot reboot
5. Done.

If you think method #1 is too complicated and you don't mind a little risk, then you can try the following method.

Method #2: Flashing a Stock Recovery via ZIP file
Needed files: Download CM_OHD2.0_stock_recovery.zip and save it to your phone's SD card.
1. Boot into your phone's recovery mode.
2. Select install zip from sdcard and navigate to where you downloaded the recovery.zip I provided. Select it.
3. After flashing, reboot system.
4. Done.

If all went well, you should now have the stock recovery and the OTA update should run. There is a possibility you will lose root because of this, but you can always try to root it again.

Regarding your Engage tablet, I posted a reply on the other thread.
