So I finally rooted my phone this weekend. And today I wanted to take advantage of some cool themes. So I downloaded the Macdroid v2.2 ADP1.1 theme and renamed it update.zip. Now my phone is stuck on the android boot screen. It just continues to load and load... I have tried wiping my phone and it still reloads and reloads. I can change the update file because there is no way to mount my SD card. Any suggestions? Please?
I guess what im really asking is, is there any way to mount my sd card without actually pressing the mount tab in the notifications menu? My pc recognizes the removable disk, but will not let me look at the sd card. This way I can change the update.zip
Do you have a card reader? Or something else that takes an sd card, such as a digital camera?
were you using ADP or RC30 on your phone. If you were using modified RC30 and installed ADP theme, that would mess it up.
If you followed instructions to root, you should have also update boot with HardSPL and Not sure ifyou made a backup. if you did, you can fastboot recover it.
Otherwise, redo everything and you may need to use another method to load files on your Sd card.

Yeah, at home. I was thinking that I would need to delete it from the card that way.

I had this same problem myself, once you access your card, put the RC29 back on it and flash it back. It will delete everything, making it factory default. You can then follow these steps again to re-root your phone.

I did follow the instructions correctly. I know this because I had already installed other themes before this one. Before I installed the theme update I did move all the files still on my card that I needed to gain root to a separate file on my card. Could that be the reason?

If you can boot into recovery mode, you can use adb to push files to your sdcard.
for example
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push JFV1.41_ADP1.1.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Related
Using adb, I pushed JFv1.41_RC33_MOD.zip to /sdcard/update.zip.
Then I rebooted into the recovery screen. I hit alt-S, it did a lot
of stuff - verify, copy, delete, etc. When it asked, I hit home-back and it
rebooted. It then hung at the T-Mobile G1 screen. After about 5 minutes,
I pulled the battery.
After reading a bit, I tried alt-W then alt-S at the recovery screen.
Aside from claiming to wipe everything, it didn't change anything.
Still bricked.
Is there anything I can do at this point ?
The update.zip couldve been corrupted during the push.
Don't use adb.
Take out the sd card. Put it in a card reader. Connect it to your comp, and copy over update.zip.
Do the Alt+S and it should work.
card reader is a must, or another phone of a friends that takes the minisd.

<whew!> Thanks. BTW, does update.zip *have* to be the only file
on the sdcard, as some posts imply ? I didn't have to do that with
the first update...

No it doesn't but you should make sure that you only have 1 (one) update.zip file on the card.
Ok, all fixed. Woohoo!
Part of the problem may have been that I used LucidREMs
JFv1.41_RC33_MOD.zip image (c970f2a224227dbcfa7e42e144e9c60a)
not the "official" JFv1.41_RC33.zip (2a3da4241fdd63d1df690f8c7bef2445).
Dunno...
Hey guys,
yesterday i flashed my g1 with JF RC33 and alls fine, except by one thing: every time i turned it on, a message pop up telling that android.process.media needed to be close.
Then I did a wipe, but after this i can't turn on my phone again, it stay on the flashing android screen
What should i do?
Thanks!
it seems to be caused by a broken system file or hardware problem. could you try flashing your system again? this update.zip is signed, so something must happened during the copying process.
Simply reflash an update. I recommend you do a Nandroid backup next time. Also, make sure your SD card is in your phone when turning on. For some odd reasons, when my SD card isn't in my phone, it just hangs on the boot image. Very strange. I have Apps to SD and am running on Haykuro 5.0.2H
it looks to be an issue with your sd card, do you have apps to SD enabled or anything else with your phone that might need to access the SD card at boot? if you have apps tp SD then you need to re-push the mountd.conf and the init.rc and redo the links to your /system/sd partition. if not i would make sure that your SD card is not corrupt by formatting it again. as solomenwishing(sp) said next time you should make a nandroid backup of your phone before you mess with anything
Thanks guy.
I flash everything again and it's ok.
Now i don't know how to make the nandroid backup.
Can someone help me?

Well this is a sticky on this forum
okay, i had already read this before, but the only thing that i don't know for sure is this.
"Android G1 phone in recovery mode with busybox installed, including appropriate symlinks to at least tar and md5sum, as well as 'adb shell' support running as root."
My recovery image is from the JF topic "How -to- Root,Hack and flashing...."..the only thing i know is my one has the adbshell support running as root
It's ok to do this?
TKS GUYS
Hey! I found a post to another user who had a similar issue here: forum.xda-developers.com/show...=709788&page=2
I also can get into recovery, however, it's not finding any backup to use etc.
I think if I could get a recovery img pushed to my SD card and go back to stock, I could work with that. Running Zen Rom 1.7 currently. I was trying to clear up some space to install apps2sd as I was out of room and did a full wipe after I made a copy on my PC of my entire SD Card, but now when i go into my phone shell it confirms the phone but can't see system directory.
Not sure how to get stuff back on SD to work with it. Any ideas?? HELP- Phone is 100% DOWN!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

you might need to format the sd card, see if that helps
I've been having problems with ICS and USB mass storage support, or lack of. Is there anything I can place on my micro SD. then copy it to the internal SD and boot from there?
Just grabbing at straws here!

TF101 B50 by the way.

If you're still able to boot into the OS and is able to R/W files than yes, put the files on the micro sd, and using a file manager transfer it to internal sd.
Thanks for the help, but as a neebie, I need a suggestion on WHAT file to place on the internal SD that will I can boot from.
I still get the robot with the red triangle when I try to boot into recovery. I'm assuming that is because there wasn't a bootable file on the internal SD.
Does that make sense?

Oh I see you're on stock recovery, is the ROM stock also?
Only thing is download the latest firmware from Asus, extract the zip from within, renamed it EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it on the micro sd card. Boot into stock recovery and see if it will flash, maybe that will help get USB working again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did what you told me and still nothing. When I try to boot into recovery, I still get the dead robot with the red triangle, then it boots stock.
IS there a particular folder on the SD or the Micro Sd I need to put the EP101_SDUPDATE.zip file into?
Is there a specific folder on the Intenal SD that the system boots from, that I could replace the update zip with a before ICS version?
Are these dumb questions?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.
Forgot to mentioned, did you extract the zip from within the file you download?
I did extract the zip and placed it on the micro AND the internal SD in the Android folder.
IS there something else I should be doing?
This is driving me nuts.
Try it in the root of the sd card should automatically detect it there
Going on 2 weeks now
Is anyone else stuck in the situation I am? I cannot re-gain Mass Storage, SD support. When I try to boot into recovery, I get the Robot with the red triangle. The only way I can see my internal SD is through the stock file manager that is on the tablet. I don't know if I can move an appropriate file into a certain folder to get this thing to boot up to where I can reflash a ROM.
What is with this POS? I no longer have CWM and root after the OTA update. I e-mailes ASUS and they gave me the " pull the micro card, then do a wipe and re boot" Which did nothing but waste time. as you can probably tell, I am getting tired of dead ends on this Tf101 B50. does anyone have any idea what could have went wrong with the OTA update? Why did I loose the SD? and What can I do to fix/revert back to an earlier state.
self admitted noobie here...Feel free to kick the **** out of me!
Thanks for your help.
With a B50, see if you can get NVFlash working.
Download the NVFLash package

Sounds like your OTA update was fudged so you need to reflash the ROM. I thought people with root and CWM can't do OTA updates?
Does adb or apx mode work? If apx mode works, then you can NVFlash so it shouldn't be a problem.
If ADB works, you can gain root with vipermod so you can install CWM.
I used to have root access. But, My last flash stuck in boot. Had to Nv flash it back to stock. Then the OTA hit, I had no more root or NVflash. So that is where I am. I hope there is something I can do to fix this.
Thanks for the help
OK lets try this method.
The firmware you download, don't rename it.
On the root of your sd card made a folder name ASUS
inside that make a folder name Update
extract the zip file from inside the download firmware and put it in the Update folder.
Just cold boot the TF and see if you get a notification of update avaiable on the status bar.
Outside of that not sure anything can be done except RMA
So through trying to re-root my M8, I caused it to boot loop and decided to flash a new ROM. I have S-OFF and TWRP installed. Unfortunately, I tried installed it by naming the ROM 0P6IMG.zip and putting it on my sd card. That didn't work, but now I can't get into recovery because at the bootloader it instantly reads the zip and tries to install (and then makes me shut down). Is there a way to bypass the system trying to read/install 0P6IMG.zip so I can go into recovery and delete the file?
So far I've only found that holding power causes a shut down

Take the SD card out.
Use an SD card reader to rename it.
Or use another SD card until you have a ROM booted.
If you have a backup, you can restore that while SD card is out.

Thank you, that worked
