Ok, I did my root process everything went fine, installed new theme ok. Today I decided to try and unroot and bricked my phone lol. When starting phone stuck at glowing android and I can't figure out how to restore my nandroid image. I have HardSPL, and JF 1.41 RC33 Lite (BUUF one). Im stressing out already any help?

10 characters
How about I already did? I'm having trouble figuring it out thats why I am here asking...
Im tring to compile fastboot but having trouble installing repo. Can you help me with that at least.
if you did any searching at all you should have found at least 10 threads where i personally answer this question, another thread titled "think you bricked your phone? post here" and several hundred others that all also answer your question
if you have the RC33 update on yyour SD card then go into the terminal and rename it to update.zip and flash it. if not then get it on there using any number of tools(sdcard reader, another phone, one guy even used his camera)
if you can't figure it out i'll buy your bricked phone from you for $10 and i'll even throw in an AT&T tilt for it
Ok, thanks for help sorry if I used "bricked" incorrectly I'm having trouble booting phone first word comes to my head. I look on this site and google to see how I can go back and all I see are stuff about tring to restore SPL and if you took time to ask if I tried any of em I would told you I have.
put the JF1.42 update on your SD card, there are hundreds of ways to do it, but the easiest is to use a micro SD card reader, or another phone, then put the SD card in your phone and reboot into recovery mode, then press alt+s and your phone will be fine.
there are hundreds of posts in these forums about people getting stuck on the flashing android screen and yet every single one of those people swear up and down that they searched before posting. just like walgreens told me today that there was no such thing as a AAAA battery even though i was holding one in my hand. people all need to search and there wouldn't be 65 pages of threads in the dev subforum.
so like i said get the update and get it on your sdcard and flash it. if you have no way of getting the update on your sdcard then find someone else who knows how to use fastboot cause i don't need to know how, or go to walmart and buy a micro SD card reader for $20
Still stuck at screen... got any other tips for me
go into command prompt and type adb shell wipe all then try again. this will completely wipe everything including OS from your phone, if by some fluke it still doesn't work start over with RC29 and re-root your phone
It giving me adb not found, you're talking about command prompt I get to by pressing Alt+x correct?
no, i meant plug phone in and let it boot to the flashing android, but in the terminal(alt+x) you need only type wipe all, going to bed now it's late will reply to more issues in morning
Ok, Good night hopefully I figure it out lol
Ok thanks for help.
Sorry about getting off on wrong foot I probably should have described steps I had taken already.

So I dunno what to do anymore... I can't get A2SD working... I've managed to repartition my SD card... I'm pretty sure I follow all the directions correctly, I start LucidRom, do that "lucid app" command etc, but it does not install to the SD card... and then it just bricks my phone by getting stuck at the G1 screen when I try to erase the SD card... so I end up with either a useless partitioned card or a bricked phone and then I have to reroot my phone all the way from beginning (RC29)... it was so bad that yesterday I spent 9 hours just trying to get my phone back into *working* condition... I dunno what to do anymore... I tried the apps2sd application from here, I tried lucidrom, nothing seems to work... I have everything done, rooted phone, JF1.5, correct partition, but it doesn't work still... or bricks my phone lol... someone? help please?
P.S. and oh yeah when the phone gets bricked the wipe/reflash doesn't help either... I have to start aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way from RC29 to get my phone to even make calls...
Thank god i thought it was just mine !
I got exactly the same results
you do not have to start all the way with rc29. I had an issues yesterday where my phone just hard locked went to reboot and it locked again (stuck at boot screen) used another sd card put the lucid JF mod 1.5 on there and reflashed it and it worked perfect.
Maybe you should ask in his sticky at the top of the page in this section instead of starting new posts about the same thing?

First and foremost, my apologies if this topic has come up before. I couldn't find any solutions to my problems on here so I decided to take it into my own hands to ask for help. This has been driving me crazy all day.
I just got a new HTC EVO and I decided to take a shot at rooting it, albeit I'm a beginner at these things I tried it anyway. I know, I probably should have investigated it more but I'm hoping you guys can help a noob out.
So I used this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
I got to this point:
Remember how you pushed that huge PC36IMG.zip to your sdcard earlier? This is where that comes in handy. Once you booted into hboot, Select "bootloader" with your volume up/down buttons and hit the power button. Let it sit for a little bit while it loads the PC36IMG.zip. This can take up to 5 minutes. When it finally asks if you want to apply this zip, choose YES.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and when it rebooted this time it got stuck at the Red Triangle of death. I couldn't do anything about it except reboot the phone back into bootloader. So when I did that it came with up "No Image or wrong image!" and at this point it won't properly load the PC36DIAG.zip.
So now I'm stuck with a brick. I can't get into the phone, I can't view my SDcard when the phone is plugged in (I have to use a Card reader to manage files on it right now).
I've reformatted the SDcard multiple times, I've used a different PC36DIAG.zip file. Am I posting these images in the wrong directory of the SD Card? I just placed the .zip into the base of the SDcard. Do I take the files from the .zip and put those into the base directory? I'm kinda stuck here and I direly need help, and you guys are the best at what you do.
I'm in the same boat as you and got the exact same screen when I tried. Currently downloading the stock rom because I really need to use my phone tonight. I'll update this post later tonight if I can figure it out.
Seein two guys with the same problem, i woulod say try a Custom rom? not an expert on the device, but you will find more answer if you search the Evo Forum or ask it over there
Well, I must admit I am in over my head....I have owned an inspire for a few years and finally decided that I wanted to try and learn about rooting etc. I followed instructions using the advanced ace hack kit and flashed cyanogen mod7 rom and I was so proud....then some problems and some bad decisions by me. First, there was some sort of issue with the phone as I could place calls and hear but the mic did not work. Unsure of how to fix that problem, I tried a new rom (leedroid) which was still ok but upon starting I had no service. Clearly, I do not know enough to troubleshoot and I should have read more prior to beginning and this is where I began to get into deeper trouble. After trying to revert back to the cyanogen mod7.2 using rom manager, I have really messed things up. Right now, I have lost clockworkmod recovery so when I hold down the volume and press the power, my only option is hboot and it prompts me "do you want to start update"that goes nowhere...If I begin with the power button only it hangs on the HTC white screen. Iknow, I know I should be searching and reading. Believe me, I am but I could sure use someone to give a lost guy some help! I have been trying to learn and download my original RUU to perhaps get back on track that way...Thanks in advance for taking the time to read!

First try taking out your SD card and using something to connect to the computer and take off the P981IMG or whatever that zip file is called. Then try booting back into recovery again. Also, next time try to not use rom manager and just flash it from recovery mode.

Here is the rooted stock from and radio just place in root of SD (not in any folder) boot up into hboot since you known how to do that let it find it will ask to install volume up for yes let it do its thing then reboot when asked. Make sure all roms and pd98 s are off SD card before you put this one on it. It will give you gingerbread from then you can install whatever custom from you want.
Have and enjoy the learning

Wow! First, thanks for the quick repsonses. Yes, my first lesson learned is to flash from recovery as it seems more direct and therfore less likely to create problems for me until I get up to speed. This morning I am at work, so not alot of time available, but I did take out the SD card and rebooted and I found it interesting (for me anyway) that I can now choose the clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0 with out my SD card inserted. So, I can see that I messed up something on my SD card. I think when I get some time today, I will download the rooted stock that Reinaldo offered, clear all the stuff off my SD card and put this file into the root directory and let hboot update with this file. I knew I came to the right place for help! Think I will spend the day reading the basics trying to understand how all these pieces work together...
U just have a PD98IMG.zip on ur sd card that u need to get off of it cuz hboot is trying to flash it as soon as it boots up. So when u remove ur sd card, it's not trying to flash that zip so u can get to recovery. So u need to plug ur sd into a pc & move or delete that zip. Or u can just move/delete it with a file explorer once it boots up, of course. Just be careful to never put a PD98IMG.zip on the root of ur sd card unless ur ready to flash it. Then be sure to move or delete it once ur done flashing. Did u download a radio or something?

My Inspire
I was working fine, enjoying my new HTC One S with CM9 rom installed. Well the battery life wasnt the best on it, and i didnt install the custom kernel. So I looked for the custom kernel download(on my phone, not on my computer) and i found a .zip file. Well I thought that you could just download the kernel straight to my phone and open it up with "Rom Manager" which i did, it than said i needed to reboot the phone in recovery to continue the installation, so I did... it took me to recovery "to continue the installation" well than I looked away, looked backed down and it was black.... and i have tried powering up, booting into boot loader, booting into recover, and nothing... its just BLACK! nothing works, its literally useless ATM. I really messed up, is there anyway to fix this? Thanks in advanced!
----EDIT----
I think I accidentally flashed the kernel like i would normally flash a rom.... cause i downloaded the .zip file(directly to my phone, not using a computer), than i tapped the download and it asked me if i wanted to open it up with rom manager, so i did. and i think rom manager thought i was flashing a rom, when i wasnt, it was a kernel.... am i screwed? or is there anyway out of this?
Do you know the exact kernel you flashed--where did it come from
Some you need to extract and push
Assume you just tried to boot into bootloader thru phone buttons
Does your pc recognize your phone when plugged in, if so can you open a command window and try to access phone as in adb devices then adb reboot bootloader
assuming you are familiar with sdk adb/fastboot comands
otherwise i don't know what else to say--may be bad--sorry
Came from an XDA thread
Here is where it came from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708676 from "sun90" (half way down the page "CM9 KERNEL remix edition.zip - [Click for QR Code] (5.53 MB, 9 views) ")
i downloaded that straight to my phone and opened it up with Rom Manager, which i think the app took it as a rom, and installed it like a rom even though it was not a rom. I just tried to access it through adb, it comes up with no devices my PC does recognize it when i plug it in though...
Ive tried to get into bootloader tons of times, it just stays black... :'(
Thanks for your answer!
You flashed a galaxy s2 kernel on your one s? why would you ever think that was a smart thing to do?
Looking at the updater script in that zip it seems it wipes some partitions, the partitions on a SGS2 and the ONE S are different, so if that script accidentally wiped say the hboot partition, or some other critical-for-boot partition, you have a fully bricked phone.
For any devs that may know what partitions are what on the One S, the script wiped
mmcblk0p7, and wrote a zimage to mmcblk0p5
---EDIT---
Normally this is a cwm flashable zip on the Samsung Galaxy S II, which is why rom manager flashed it, as it met all the requirements, the only issue is, it was not made for the ONE S and probably overwrote some important things.
I tried for hours and hours to fix the same issue on a friend's One S (same symptoms, not same cause) to no avail. I tried QPST and telnet and a ridiculous amount of things. Had to bring it to the store and get a new one.
Good luck, but I don't believe there's anything you can do to fix it.
Just answered your question in the help thread, Didnt see this thread too !
Im afraid its not looking good, I think your best bet would be to call your provider and blame it on an OTA update.
And hope for the best
Alright, thanks for the help!
Well it looks like i bricked my phone than.... I thought that CM9 was only on the One S, so I just looked for the CM9 kernel, which obviously was for the sg2, i feel like such a dumb ass now! haha well thanks for all the help guys! ill be heading to the t-mobile store today to blame it on a OTA:]
yeah, others wont agree with what your about to do but........
just act like a complete noob, dont mention anything about software / firmware / ROMs / bootloader etc ect
just say your phone made a noise, you selected update and it died lol
good luck--I know it is heartbreaking
not sure of your situation with carrier, but you could go thru Retention if needed
Hi peeps.
i'm very new to all this but sort of know the basics
i'm running on Axiom now but tried to flash cm10 but after install i got a black screen so had to do a restore.
Today i just flashed venom and after the instal process is done, i hear the start up music but nothing on the screen.
I have had 3 other roms on my phone and never had a problem!
these are the steps i do
download rom - place on sd
put phone in recovery
reset factory
reset cache
install from sd
when it finish's reboot
blank screen.
Am i missing something?
Any help would be great and i can't post on the thread because i'm a noob with less than 10 and dont want to spam my way to the 10 :silly:
you are missing a lot, like reading the OP page and following install instructions
you missed separate flash of boot image and wiping system plus data and caches
i wipe system 3x to be safe

Thanks but i think that is now the least of my problems!
I used Goomanager and installed CM10, When I did it i installed teamwin recovery. It started to do a lot of strange things, when it finally rebooted i got a load of errors "phone is not working" nearly every 10 seconds?
it will not connect via usb, i discovered the the SD was not mounted.
I tried to mount the SD but it doesnt work, so i rebooted to recovery and tried to mount there but its coming up with - error unable to mount? ive tried everything but no joy
please please help

not sure what fastboot is.
I'll check out the link, and thank you very much for trying to help:good:
sorry i do know what fastboot is, yes can get in to it. but ive gone from CWM to teamwin recovery if i go in to the recovery section but that wont let me do anything because the mount. cant even load the phone up
I don't know Mac commands
My idea is to install htc drivers and set up fastboot/adb on pc--the info can be found in dev section on rooting
then open a command window and and boot into fastboot and flash a new recovery, maybe stock per the link, clear storage and try to get mounted
how did you unlock bootloader--
you will need to do alot of reading on adb/fastboot and flashing roms--first step is to have backups of rom and sdcard
since i don't the Mac commands to do fastboot, someone else will chime in at some point
you can alos go to the noob section in Q&A and resubmit your issue
someone will work you thru this, but in meantime study up on android sdk/fastboot/adb. a necessity to get out of these problems
you are not bricked, just need the info and right steps to get back on track

good luck on it
so i installed the cm9 alpha, restored stuff via titanium backup (only green marked stuff, and some whites) and i got into a bootloop. so i went into recovery and instead of going into clockwork i used the factory reset thing at the start. (probably the main problem this happened)
so now when i boot up my phone, i cant access my sdcard. what do i do?
ive checked around ADB methods on pushing stuff over, but naturally that didnt work. so im basically stuck here. PLEASE HELP

Try using the All in One tool in the dev section to reflash CWM Recovery, then keep trying to ADB push a stable ROM zip to your SD card. It might take a few tries but it does work. I saved my phone from a similar situation a few weeks back using the ADB push method.

thats what im currently trying to do. for some reason clockworkmod recovery just wont work. whenever i try to go into recovery, the phone just boots instead. and i tried multiple times to push over a rom, but it just wont get past 4mb.
http://i.imgur.com/o0WZm.jpg
this is what happens.
keep in mind i had to scratch the whole using clockwork and used the other recovery instead. that atleast lets me get to recovery. but as you can see, it wont even push over 4mb out of the 137mb of the newest cm9 build.
let me explain what im doing, im following this guide (i dont quite understand what he means with the first part "flash your recovery back to stock" i just assumed he meant to reinstall the recovery, so tell me if i did something wrong here) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25557817#post25850720

I followed the instructions to the letter, and got the ROM pushed on the third try. I reflashed and was back in business.

i tried that one aswell, but since my sdcard is not mountable, "- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount) " wont work for me. and it says that the file has to be in tools instead of permanent-tools, and that also did not work for me. ive tried basically everything up until now. theres still one thing i dwell on, and that is to flash to stock recovery. i dont know where to find that for a Norwegian Telenor handset. i can find the t-mobile one, but thats pretty much it
I had the same problem what I did was, I went to fastboot locked my hboot, "fastboot oem lock" and flashed original RUU in fastboot. RUU you cam find in development section. But first you have to lock your hboot.

i have to admit i have no idea what you mean here. im not pro at this, so i honestly didnt understand much of that. RUU is also something i dont "quite" understand what it. i think it is the OS itself or something.
i have no idea what i did, but i think i just solved my problem without even knowing why:s i just did the same **** over and over again. and i didnt push over anything. i just decided to "screw this, turn that phone on" went to storage and there the sd card was for some unexplainable reason. now i dont have any of my stuff though, that kinda sux

Looks like you found out for yourself; I was going to say that you may have to reboot your recovery a few times before the SD card shows up. I think I had to reboot CMW four or five times before it showed. After that, I was golden. Well, after pushing the ROM zip twice, that is. Make sure you always have a back up or ROM zip on the SD card from now on. It sucks that you may have to resort to a blank slate, but it's better than being stuck with a $500 paperweight!

i actually had a backup, and 2 roms on my sdcard, but that obviously didnt help from now on i will keep a backup on my computer aswell as on the sdcard. if i could ever get my stock backup back that would help. looks like im not gonna have a stock backup anymore. anyone redirect me to some place i can find that just in case i ever need to revert back to stock? Norwegian Telenor based phone if that is info you needed to redirect me. thanks for all the replies guys
