I'm trying to root my g1. I did everything by the instructions on multiple sites, but when i get to the part, after the device DREAIMG.nbh update, when i need to go to recovery mod, and do alt+l, im getting the error that says “E:Can’t mount CACHE:recovery/log" . I tryed to do alt+s, but when it started to flash it just stopped in a middle of the proces and the android got bugged, so i had to update it again so i can use it. Does any1 know why im i getting that error, i tryed multiple times, and its always the same.
ok i have seen the noob video and i honestly feel i have exhausted every option both here and on the web by just searching google with the errors i have seen. so i think this permits me to start a thread to get help for my specific problem.
was tryna update to gingerbread and it crashed.
1. tried going back to froyo, sw upgrade gave me a binary error. then i tried to flash the tar from the sw upgrade folder with odin and it fails everytime apparently when it tries to flash a recovery file.
2. tried flashing a rooted gingerbread and it passed but screen goes blank after first screen on startup
3. tried something from samfirmware and it failed and made the screen blank so i cudnt see anything.
4. came back here with help of someone. found gingerbread with signed bootloaders and it fixed the blank screen thing. but when i try to flash the tar with or without bootloaders. it fails at hidden.rfs.
5. tried takin the hidden file out. and it passed and i flashed dbdata but recovery mode gives me a tonne of red lines about errors in wiping factory data and tha cache. so still no boot. im out of option.
sorry for the long post but thought id list out what i did so far. need your helps guys. please.
no one can help me?
Hello
Today I was upgrading to the latest starburst rom...this was not the first time I upgraded roms and i did the exact same thing I had done in the past which included wiping data wiping cache wiping dalvik and then flashing....
when i did this and restarted my phone it wouldnt load past the boot screen...after the boot animation the phone stayed black...i repeated steps 1-3 again hoping i just did something wrong...but still nothing
i went back to look at the directions and i say that the developer said to format the system under mounts and storage...in bolded font...i thought maybe thats why it wasnt working so i did just what he said...
now when i load my phone it doesnt load at all and when i open cwm i get a string if e: errors basically saying that it cannot find the drive
if anybody has any advice on how to recover from this I would be extremely greatful
Im having the same problem cant figure out how to fix it.
Rooted my phone for the first time today following the noob proof guide in the development section, everything went fine.
Until I got to the last bit, flashing the ROM. It is stuck on the HyperSensation boot animation, and is boot-looping. I have re-booted to no avail.
I followed the guide to the letter, and have a back-up on CWM and a backup of my SD card on my PC. It was a previously completely unmodified sensation, and all i did was the stuff listed in the guide.
I have taken no action besides rebooting, I don't want to mess anything up...
Any help apprectiated
It's been quite a while since I played with root etc, but try and boot back into recovery and select 'Clear Dalvic cache' from the options. Then reboot and see if that helps.
I tried that, didn't work.. I've restored and I'll think I'll try and re flash it, see how it goes....
Still doing it after re-flash... will try another ROM...
Right, restored, reflashed, still didn't work. Removed SD card, formatted, cleared Davlic and fixed permissions and now it works!
Hi Guys, i'm having a similar problem.
i was running revolution HD ICS, and tried flashing Hypersenastion ICS.
it said it flashed sucessfully, but when i rebooted, i got stuck in a bootloop (as in i get the white htc screen, the hypersensation loading screen, then black, the the htc screen again).
ever since then i have been reformating my phone, clearing cache's, reflashing pretty much anything, but the only thing i have managed to change is:
when i go into adb and flash a system rom, which only results in it not booting at all and just staying on the white htc screen
then to make it more complicated, i read somewhere someone said to lock and unlock the Oem and not my Hboot screen says "RELOCKED"
can anyone help? or have i permanently bricked my phone?
Thanks
Did you guys flash the new Firmware? I believe you need the new firmware when flashing ICS roms...

Hey guys, I'm a complete noob and I need help recovering my Inspire 4g. I rooted it with the Ace Hack Kit. The other day it was acting a little weird so I tried to reboot it. When it booted back up it gives me 3 vibrates and a orange flashing light. I've tried pressing down and power, that gives me 5 vibrates and a solid green light. The screen remains black during both.
Not sure if this is a biggy or not, but I reformatted my sd card. (after backing up my important stuff!) I then tried resetting it back to the factory rom via Ace Hack Kit. When the flash finishes, the phone tries to boot up and does the whole 3 vibrates and flashing orange light.
One thing I noticed was when I plug my Inspire into the computer via usb and don't press anything, the back light comes on and the 4 buttons on the bottom light up. If I press the menu button and the search button, I can toggle through these menus. I tried playing with some of the options while reading other forums, but nothing seems to be working.
I guess what I'm asking is, does anyone know EXACTLY what to do to recover it back to stock settings? Or can someone link me to a thread that may help me? Or did I completely screw myself by reformatting me sd card?
Thanks,
Andy
There have been numerous threads regarding this in the inspire forums. One solution some have found is to remove the sd card and reboot the phone.
Sd card trick didn't work. The phone is now completely wiped clean. SD card is formatted to fat32. I'm starting with a clean slate. I cannot run Ace Hack Kit to restore to factory ruu because it reboots the phone into hboot, and my phone will not boot in hboot. Simply vibrates 3 times and flashes the orange led. Then stops the flash. If I new what I was doing in the first place, I wouldn't have wiped it and I would have run recovery right off the bat. But too late now.
I've been trying to put the pd98img.zip file into the sd card and installing via clockwork recovery with no luck. I clear both cashes, wipe to factory settings, then try to install and it fails everytime.
Anyone got any other ideas? Or am I really bricked?
EDIT: Error that I get when I try to install zip from sd card is E:Signature Verification Failed.
