i tried to revert my phone back to stock everything then worst thing happens, my goldcard stops working and i have to format it, now my phone doesnt boot its stuck on htc magic boot screen, i cant get into recovery, i have a mytouch 1.2. so now since the phone doesnt boot i cant get into adb to make the goldcard again, so that i can reboot, HELP ME PLEASE what to do
anybody? im really stressin right now
u niggas are ****in useless, thanks for the help
Well...I'm afraid that u bricked ur phone
If u can not access recovery and/or fastboot then that's it, phone can not be recognized via USB if u have no access to fastboot
Check if you can access fastboot using and holding Back and power key during powering on.
After u get into it, simply connect your phone to your PC and flash new recovery and rom
After rhat, u should be able to load custom rom from ur sd card using the recovery.
Btw, u can flash new custom rom by using fastboot or adb
i can get into fastboot but not into the recovery, and its the mytouch 1.2 there are no roms, and everytime i try to fastboot a new recovery it doesnt let me because i have no goldcard , and how do i flash a rom through fastboot? and how do i get into adb

You know who's useless? I believe it's you. You waited for a bit more than an hour and demanded an answer. You have no patience, and act like a child. Hmmm I'm sure people on these forums have a life other than to wait for people like you who don't know how to follow instructions and end up with problems. You don't know anything about the phone you're playing with, idiot. Get a different phone, you probably barely know how to work it anyways. Its too much for you and I think you deserve this. Enjoy! Maybe if you weren't so useless and did some research, you could get out of the problem yourself. But again, you're useless. Goodluck
Maybe someone would be happy to take the title "niggas" and help you. I for one, hope it remains the way it is
iight im not gonna start beef online kuz im not a ***** like you, and my apoligies , i followed every instruction and flashed amon ra's recovery through fastboot after flashing sappimg through hboot, i know what im doing thank you guy, something backfired on me, and nothing loads.
nigga need to do his research before flashing and maybe nigga wouldn't have a bricked phone right now, nigga.
You guys better stop cussing and using the "n word" before on of yall <insert n word here> is going to get banned.
Well I don't have the 1.2 mytouch but I got the original but if you search how to set up adb and how to use fastboot that can really help you.

Hi all,
I'm having an issue and hope someone can point me to the right direction (thanks).
I followed the all the steps from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052064) and after the rom manager asked me to reboot my phone and it went into the endless boot looping. The LG screen show up for around 15 seconds and went back to do the same thing over and over again.
Here are what I've tried so far.
1. Remove the battery to turn back on and issue still persist
2. Tried using the Power button + Volumn down to boot into recovery mode. What it did here was the screen shows the android guy jumping out of the box for around 20 seconds and the screen turn off, then the LG login screen comes back doing it things again.
I have very limited knowledge on android base so I'm not sure what else to try to get my phone back to life again.
I had a post on that thread to ask some other people in there but they seem to ignore my post so if anyone here could help me please, I would appreciate it.
Did you nvflash recovery? If so reflash the stock rooted rom (or any other you want). If you didn't nvflash the recovery you going to have to now to fix the situation..

Hi Squish099,
Thanks for looking into my issue.
I've never done nvFlash recovery before, so according to your response, you said
"If you didn't nvflash the recovery you going to have to now to fix the situation.."
How do I have going to fix the situation? Sorry for my stupid question.
If you could, can you please provide me some basic steps/direction? Like I said, I have very limited knowledge on how android work so if you could, I would really appreciate.
you can try this

But before you do things you need to read. you could of saved yourself a lot of heartache because the throttleing thing doesnt work at all anyways. and there are a couple threads here already that state that.

Unfortunately, I don't think he can do that if he can't boot into recovery at all.
@justin
I had the same problem with my old G2, I couldn't boot into recovery and ended up getting a new phone because no one knew what to do to fix it. Since you didn't use Nvflasher to flash clockworkmod recovery, you can't boot into recovery manually, you have to use the ROM manager app to boot into recovery.
I'm not sure what you can do to fix it honestly, I spent days searching for answers
Oops, damn your right ^. I misunderstood the wikipedia page =/

Yes, I spent couple hours already searching for resolution but can't find definite answer. I'm sure someone else out there having the same issue but was able to fix the issue.
I don't think people can easily throw away a good phone like this. Hope there is a resolution for this very soon
My new theory:
Noob + endless bootloop + no recovery = brick
I'm sorry to say but methinks thou art ****ed. Hopefully you have assurion and can just claim you lost it. Well actually I hope you fix it but .. well you know what I'm gonna say. Gl hope it works out for ya....

Hey, guys, I feel very inadequate in here so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to Skype with me on how to root, flash, etc. on my phone. I ask for Skype because I truly know next to nothing in regards to this process. I vaguely understand what rooting does but I have never done any of it.
I have been patient with my g2x and am still on my original one(hoping that LG or TMO would do what was right by it's customers) but after the recent news that they "might" start doing internal testing after having pulled our legs with this whole "by summer" nonsense, I have decided to try to correct their mistakes for now.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Really its a piece of cake this is my second device I've rooted.. I did my old mt3g slide (it was a little bit harder especially being a n00b) but yea just follow guides to the T as much as possible.

Are you volunteering help?
Yep, you've totally scared yourself. Don't worry, I did it with my G1. Read, read, read. Then use the one click great app to root your phone then use TGA's thread to put CWM recovery on it.
If you're gonna do this stuff you gotta trust that you know what you're doing (unless there's something you really don't understand). Else you'll never do it.
And I don't think I've seen a thread about a really bricked phone. So relax and use the source young Skywalker.

Easy, download AmonRA recovery and follow youtube video directions. pretty much, download amonra, put on sd card, insert sd card, Power down, then press powerbutton+volume down, brings you to hboot menu....then you look for hboot usb, press volume down, then youre rooted.
First 2 times in rootet, i did it with this htc legend, took a few hours and yet didn't work, but afterwards in went to theunlocker guide and piece of cake it was, i even have to tell im running @ 806 mhz stable, even if found the biggest stable clock on legend to 768 mhz good luck

it's not bricked.... power off the phone then press and hold the power key and the vol down key at the same time til you see the HBOOT screen. vol down until RECOVERY is highlited then press power. That will bring you into Recovery mode. now wipe data/factory reset... then wipe cache partition.. then go to advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache... go back to mounts and storage and format system...
after all that then go back to install zipfrom sdcard and reinstall miui that should do it
Im not going anywhere so I'll be here, let me know how you do
Ouch. That sucks. Don't worry though, there is hope.
What you will have to do is remove your SD card and download a stock RUU and it will flash in Bootloader. Unfortunately I believe it will unroot you. I am not positive on that though. I will post a link so you can be reading a little more about it, we helped a guy thru this the.other day, but he wasn't rooted. Should be the same process though. You'll want to wait until we know exactly what to do because this is your one shot before you got a fancy paperweight. I have to run to atnt for a minute. Start reading so you'll know a little more of what is going to go on, and hang tight. Someone else may step in before I'm back, but you can start familiarizing yourself with the process shortly.
This fellow was pricked during an OTA update. About the same steps will be taken...

Tread lightly. I am gonna do my best to help, but I am not an expert. However I do feel confident that since Bootloader is all you can load that this is your fix. See ya soon.

search around on here for a stock rooted rom in PD98IMG.zip form There may be one inside the hack kit but cant remember. put it on your sdcard boot into bootloader by holding volume down and pressing power. let it search for the update. hit volume up to confirm update after it finds it.

you have a micro sd card reader on your computer ?
Here's a link to gb stock rooted. Look at post 4. Credit goes to gene for the file.
To flash you will need a way to transfer files to your SD card.
Download the file and rename to PD98IMG.zip. boot into hboot it will scan and ask you to apply the update.
If you can't transfer files try the ruu exe. Version you downloaded.

Good news: your phone is not bricked, as it's responding, it's just stuck on boot, so there's something wrong with the ROM you flashed (maybe a wrong one?).
Have you tried taking your battery off, waiting for a while, put in back in, and then tried to enter CVM? I'd like to help you further, but I don't own that phone.
Also check the Q&A and General threads at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1138 for a similar problem.

Phone was rooted using TWRP. I locked the bootloader and now I can't boot up into anything but the page with the TAMPERED RELOCKED screen, also has bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down.

So you've relocked the bootloader, and then nothing else?
Run the RUU from the bootloader screen. Make sure the RUU is for YOUR phone
That's the thing, I can't get into it! I can't get into that screen where I could access stuff to INSTALL, MOUNT, etc.. it keeps taking me to the white screen with bootloader,reboot, etc.

Seeing as though you have relocked the bootloader you can either a. unlock the phone again so you can install a custom rom or b. run a ruu to get it back to stock.
Yeah because the problem is i have no OS to boot into. It just goes into recovery mode. Can you point me in the direction on how I can unlock the bootloader again?

No no no. You said you wanted to go back to stock correct?
Download your stock RUU, and run from that white menu that says RE-LOCKED at the top. That's your bootloader
Ok, when you mean run from that white menu that says RELOCKED, how can I run it from that menu if I cant get into anything from this menu? Do you mean just run the RUU program from my computer and have my phone connected to the PC? I used to be able to go into that TWRP screen when i was in bootloader but now I can't.
XHaGGeNx said:
Ok, that's what I am doing already. I am downloading the RUU for my phone. Hope to gawd this will save my phone. I am just worried because it's literally stuck at this bootloader menu screen. I can't do anything else.

Believe me, the fact your screen is on is a sign you are not bricked. Run the RUU (Make sure it's one that is easily rootable, like the 1.85 for ATT), and go through the process of bootloader and unlock and rooting. Hope this helped
I am glad to hear that. It's almost done downloading, about 4 minutes left. I really want to thank you for helping me out here. I am such a screw up with this stuff. Sigh. anyways, I'll let you know what happens here shortly. Thank you so much once again. Really..
Honestly man once you get back to stock, don't worry about unlocking and rooting it. You have no business rooting your phone and flashing roms if you can accidentally delete your os, backup file, and the recovery partition. Not trying to be rude, but think about it, you could of destroyed your phone with one more bad flash
It's working! It's updating and everything. Phew! No offense taken, I hear ya and agree. Just being a noob at all this can put me into a lot of trouble. I have learned a lot of stuff though lol. Anyways, thank you everyone for helping me! I should be good from here
Glad to hear its working

If you need anything else, contact me. There are a bunch of ways to.
As for rooting again? Just read up and you'll be set.

Honestly man once you get back to stock, don't worry about unlocking and rooting it. You have no business rooting your phone and flashing roms if you can accidentally delete your os, backup file, and the recovery partition. Not trying to be rude, but think about it, you could of destroyed your phone with one more bad flash

Hate to bump heads with ya dude but this isn't the way to be, I frown upon threads like this as well but I encourage others to root no matter who they are. Granted they do need to take the time to research what they are doing and how to get themselves out of a hole like this but someone has to help them learn
This is a community working towards a common goal, you never know maybe this dude will make his way towards development somewhere in the future. Or more likely since others helped him in his time in need he will turn around and try to do the same for someone else
Just my two cents

A simple "Be more careful next time because of ..." would have been just fine.

My apologies. We had been PMing for over an hour before this thread trying to get his phone back. I came off a little rude on that last post but he knows how hard I was trying to help him and that he can always come here for answers. Most forum guys would tell him to "search it"
please
how did you fix your phone i almost have same problem
He didn't delete ROM, recovery or anything. He relocked his bootloader. It just won't let you reboot unless you relock with a stock recovery flashed.
