Hey guys 've been using CM for ages so havent really been on the scene since CM updater was introduced I know that might sound lazy but when sometimes works this well I've just been updating on the fly whenever one was available.
A few days ago my phone went from mounting all the time via usb to being a bit dodgy and then finally I couldnt mount it at all. Had a look around on a couple of forums for some ideas but nothing worked. I also noticed when looking around 2.1 was out for the G1 - CM 5.0.8 - I assumed it wasnt on the updater as it was so new so downloaded it. Checked I had the right SPL (which luckily i did i guess from an old hero rom) Flashed it for an updated look and hopefully to fix the usb issue.
I did a nandroid back up just incase.
Flashed looked awesome was a super fast rom look ace too - played with it for a while set my alarm charged it over night and went to sleep. It woke me up all was good... made a few calls thn left it. A few hours later randomly starts rebooting. Plugging it into the usb made it reboot even more - Its like it had a mind of its own.
To cut a long story short I've tried tonnes of stuff and yeah im pulling my hair out too could it be a kernel issue? like i said im a bit rusty but i'll tell you what i know anyway.
I'm running a fairly up to date version of Amon recovery
I wiped data then installed the rom (worked great at first)
noticed that even tho i'd wiped it before installing rom - all my apps were still present and installed / working
I also tried a nandroid restore which worked lot of frustration as whenever the phone seemed to be unlocked or do well pretty much anything it'd reboot.
I started thinking it was the hardware / battery etc but I'm really not sure. It might be a corrupt SD card who knows has anyone got any ideas?
I just have no idea why my usb mounting stopped workign randomly and I'm also super confused how a rom that seemed to be working perfectly is now not. Infact my G1 isnt even letting into recovery img or fastboot for longer than a few seconds sometimes before it powers off - its becoming very irregular....sometimes i can get in and reflash and sometimes i cant and i cant even mount via recovery image....
please help with any suggestions I have no SD card reader with me here and obv no USB mounting what can i do?
at fastboot this is my info - dream PVT 32B ENG S-OFF HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA11000) CPLD-4 Radio-2.22.19.261
the weird thing is its so random if its left it keeps rebooting sometimes getting into the rom and the htc welcome setup but when i try to use it it turns off.... sometimes the LED works like its charging sometimes it doesnt....
Even when i go into recovery and use my backup of my original rom (the one that worked fine but no usb mounting) that still keeps rebooting now.... whats messed it up so much?

Hi,
Today during a call my Inspire 4G froze with no apparent reason. I rebooted and I always had freezes, so I decided to do a factory reset.
I'm rooted and have Virtuous Unity 1.24 installed (never upgraded because it had been working fine).
When I try to format /data it hangs for a while and I get an error saying "error formatting data".
I'm just downloading latest version of the ROM hoping this way it'll get fixed.
Just before messing more with the phone, has anyone had this experience with the Inspire 4G?
Regards
Try doing a full wipe/factory reset in recovery, if same error, your sd card could be trashed. There's a recall on some newer sd cards that came with inspire. Google it.

Well,
Now it won't even reboot into recovery. I only can boot into HTC white screen, but clockwork died, seven vibrations when I try to go into recovery.
Now I'm trapped, tried installing PD98IMG.zip that comes with the rooting files, seems to install well but doesn't work.
Any other suggestions before I assume my Inspire died?
Take out your SD card. Then trybooting Into recovery. Once in recovery you can insert SD card. Wipe and flash. I saw that this worked for a couple of people in another thread somewhere
no hay de queso no mas de papa
No luck, just 7 vibrations when I go into recovery, with and without SD card, even tried without SIM card which should not have anything to do...
I had the same error with motorola atrix. I have flashed the firmware again to resolve this issue

Maybe try a different pd98 or maybe the ruu.

Tried with the RUU but it cannot detect the phone, will see if I can do something else, just strange thing, never had this kind of issue with any Android Phone...
Is there a way to extract the PD86IMG.zip file from the RUU?
Well, after alot of trying out, I'm pretty sure the device is hard-bricked due to some HW problem, will still do some attempts to recover the phone, but it is strange:
1. It worked great a few days ago, I installed no updates, radios or anything other than Market apps.
2. In the last days, I've had some random hangs on the phone, just pulled battery and rebooted.
3. Today it hanged during a phone call, pulled battery and every time I rebooted it would just hang again.
4. Went into CWM Recovery, was able to ADB and everything, but any attempt to format /data or /cache would cause an error.
5. After playing around with CWM, suddenly I wasn't able to see the menus anymore, when I rebooted, any attempt to go into recovery from the HBOOT screen would result in seven short vibrations, a wile after that screen would go black.
6. Downloaded various PD86IMG.zip files, all of them install and give no errors, but the phone always keeps sending those 7 vibrations when trying to boot or go into recovery. HBOOT screen still works, any PD86IMG.zip file apparently installs fine (no errors), but when I reboot it is dead.
I am thinking that something bad happened to the internal storage, the symptoms show in that direction and I can't find any post that seems a bit related to this issue. This might be my 6th or 7th Android phone and I often root other phones for friends, in fact I have rooted 4 or 5 Inspires and have had no issues.
I just want to see if there's anything else I can do...
Thanks and regards...
Have seen the 7 vibrate occurrance mentioned a few times. It is hardware related and there is not much you can do about it. Sounds like the solder connections between the processor and the motherboard are separating. By chance has the phone been real hot in the recent past?
Real hot not, but I dropped it once a few weeks ago, I was really surprised that nothing broke, it was not a nice drop...
Well, will see how much I get for the phone listing it as "for parts"...
Yeah, i finally made it. I bought a TMO-DE One S (With S4 Processor) 5 Days ago, unlocked the Bootloader (HBoot 1.09), rooted and SuperCID´d it, installed CWM Touch and installed TrickDriod V8.0 incl. its Tweak Package. After that i installed another Radio and everything was fine. It could have been SO easy, but i just HAD to do more, and now its soft-bricked.
At all TrickDroid is a really good ROM, but i hated the thingy that it shows G symbol instead of H when getting HSPA speeds. So i decided to dump it and go for a 4.0.4 / Sense 4.1 Stock Rom without branding instead until a JB / Sense Rom comes out. And thats were the trouble started. i flashed the stock rom with CWM, installed the boot.img that came shipped with it and booted it up. I did a full wipe before flashing. It booted up, Sense Stock Background Image came on and it showed "Unfortunately Wiper App is closed" at the "Preparing phone storage" stage. After OK´ing that another Screen came up about some system service wouldnt respond (dont know the exact Text anymore) wich i could close or wait for it. No matter what i do, or if i do nothing, after ~20 seconds the phone crashes and restarts. After the first restart the phone only boots into a black screen but with the Android bar at the top is working with time, battery-charging and a warning smybol. But the Phone wont react to anything i do except for lockscreen button. When its "online" i can push files via adb to the internal SDCard so i thought it wouldnt be a big problem. i pushed ONE MaximuS V2.5 ROM to the SD Card, booted into CWM and installed it. then flashed the boot.img of it via fastboot and booted it up. but nothing happens. still black screen with bar on top and not reacting phone that reboots every 20 seconds. i allready tried full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik cache wipe and i dont really know what to do now.
A broken SD Partion cant be since i can push files via ADB to it and install them with CWM. But whatever i try to install every ROM boots only in this blackscreen. its clearly not hanging in bootloader, but in android itself. I dont really know what to do, and returning to my dealer is no option since Rooting, SuperCID´ing and flashing another ROM. You maybe have a Idea what to do now?
Peace
TK
PS: Sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand it
Edit: Okey, i got something. i formatted everything i could in CWM, and now (as its now supposed) it hangs in bootloader since no system is there for booting. The good thing is in CWM i get ADB Connection so i can still push files to the SDCard. Im now trying installing a ROM again. So at least i have a starting Point if it fails again
Edit 2: Okey, found it. The "Stock" ROM is broken, not my Phones Fault. and MaximuS just doesnt install right so nothing was changed. Installed TrickDroid again for testing and everything is fine again. Close this one...
Hey everybody,
Before something like half a year, I installed CM 10 on my nexus - and everything worked fine since than. Two days ago, I looked at my phone and tried to understand while it restarted itself, but I thought that it was restarting because it stuck or something...
So I put the phone back in the pocket and I was doing whatever I did. After about 15 minutes, I looked again at my phone, and it was exactly when the phone finally waked up! That was really weird, but after that it was working great...
Yesterday my phone worked fine, until the moment when it restarted itself again! When it happened, I left it on the table (because somehow I didn't connected it to what happened the day before) and did different stuff. 30 minutes later, when I've done those stuff, my phone was still at the boot image of cyanogen mod! Than I had realized that something really wrong in the phone, and tried to wake it up in some ways, but nothing is working...
Any idea how to make it work again, without a new fresh install? (I don't have a backup of my phone from about 3 months)
BTW, the recovery (cwm) and boot-loader is working, and also I'm using matr1x kernel.
Update your recovery, make a nandroid backup, do a clean install, then restore all data you want (sms, call logs, apps) via Nandroid Manager from playstore - it's free.
the short story- my htc inspire is frozen on white htc startup screen and wont go anywhere.
the long story- i got my htc inspire 4g stock (used) beginning of this summer. it was almost perfect except some annoying apps and features. so i successfully rooted it using advanced ace hack kit. it was great. but the battery life sucked and so did the speed. so i decided to flash to new rom so i can overclock and undervolt. i then backed up my rooted stock rom onto my sd card. i then installed android revolution 7.3 and overclocked to 1.5ghz and undervolted -50. it was great now, battery life was way better and phone was faster. it was almost perfect except one issue- every once in a while, it would randomly just shut down and restart, then get stuck in a bootloop displaying htc white screen then the beats audio, then repeating endlessly until i pull the battery. that solves it until it happens again randomly (not that often but still annoying losing my data) i tried different settings in setcpu and daemon tools and same problem.
i then decided its time to revert to stock rom and try a new rom and see the difference and if i like it more, ill keep it. so i loaded recovery from rom manager (because my power button dont work) and i wiped to factory default and did all the steps of clearing the cache and the dalvik cache, etc it said it did it fine. i clicked install from zip and chose dirty unicorns rom that i found on this site for my phone.
it said it installed without any problems. cool, i clear caches again and reboot.
but this is the wack part: when it restarts, it still loaded android revolution... all the data on internal memory was gone from wiping it and my superuser was gone. (rom manager stayed) i thought that was weird. i tried a couple more times and same thing. and then i put the backup i made of my stock rom before i flashed anything onto my sdcard-> rom manager-> backup.
but when i went to rom manager-> backup, my backup wasnt there. i then went to manage backups and restore. it said no backups found. i then thought maybe it has to do with superuser gone? i plugged in my phone and loaded ace. i noticed it had a load stock rom option on it. awesome, i clicked that, chose first one (htc inspire at&t) and it started doing its thing. but it said it had a problem downloading some package or something? it said it connected to th site fine but kept coming up with that error and a prompt saying "do you want to continue[y/n]" and i type y hit enter and same error. i tried another one but same error. oh well. i went back to menu and chose option 1 for rooting it, it did its thing with no errors. rebooted my phone. except now, its on htc start screen and wont go anywhere. its just forever stuck there. i did figure out just now that since my power button dont work, i could load hboot by taking out battery, and holding volume down while sliding battery in. but it wont go up and down on the menu with the volume keys. since my power button dont work i cant select one anyways but i should still be able to go up or down right?
well thats what happened and i feel like a retard.. if anyone might know whats wrong please help
ok i solved the issue after constant reading. i had to reformat my sdcard to fat32 and put stock pre rooted rom since i still had s-off. then it was just load hboot and it loaded files from sd card automaticly (took a moment, i thought it wasnt going to work) but it said found file (only file on the card now) and then accepted install. now im back to stock pre rooted rom. im so happy i didnt completely ruin my phone <3
im sorry for wasting everyones time. i should have read more before posting, as the thread that helped me solve this was on this site.

Update:
ok somehow i managed to get my phone rooted/s-off on hboot 2.15 , TWRP 2.6.3 and made backup of ROM, everything in a few misn it allowed me to work it on fastboot, but the problem is sometimes i turn it on on Bootloader when i connect the USB cable it freezes/reboot/turnoff/works (random) , now when i manage to get into recovery, sometimes it works wiping but sometimes it just freezes and reboot, also the battery says 66%, all of the sudden is 99% then back to 66%, so i been thinking is never been a software issue, cause i wiped the rom and just boon into recovery and still do it, but its more like a hardware issue......anyone have the closest idea what i can do/try to try and fix it.
now that i got my phone working from not doing anything at all , its been working fine for a couple of days but right now screen was off when i went to check it was off , connected to charger no light so i did this :
Connected it to wall charger.
Press power + volume down
Orange LED went on
Let it sit for 5 mins
Turn it on
It turns on and battery is at around 70%
Could it be battery is bad and phone is missreading it or could it be something else ?
please anyone with any ideas, im so tired already ill try anything.

This happened to me as well I wiped the whole device meaning SD and rom then this stopped happening
mmm ill try that havent wipe SD yet but i dont see if that could be the problem but doesnt hurt trying but its just hard to even stay on the recovery long enough to wipe.
didnt work, wipe it all , reinstalled RUU stock , unlocked and rerooted again , super CID, still does that crap i think maybe hardware issue
phone is been for more than a week at a local repair center and i dont think they can even figure it out, they said may be software issue but i know for a fact isnt, it had stock rom, i wiped it out, everything, reinstall using RUU, still same problem.
