I just Bricked my phone!! and really bad!!

Okay, so here was I trying to do the app to sd and I was doing it using Terminal because my laptop does not give me permision to partition..I was at the last step which was basically to do the partition...I got some sort of mistake and the notification bar asked to format the sd, which I was forced to.....then I started getting a message that my sd card is damaged...so I took my sd card out turned off my phone and now my phone does not leave the g1 screen I tried taking out the battery and nothing...I have the latest radio and I did the Nandroid back up but that is pretty much all to waste since I formatted my sd
Help!!

You can boot the G1 while holding the camera button and press back to go into fastboot mode and restore your data or you can hold home+power and do a wipe... and properly format your sd and try again.

the problem is that when I do fastboot there is nothing in the sd because I originally formatt it...my sdcard is blank and I cannot mount it because I cannot get into the g1..
I think my only solution is by a push through adb..

Can you hold home while powering on to get into the bootloader?
If you can, go into the console (or use adb shell). From there, you should be able to delete the symlinks that point to the SD.
I assume it's not booting because you symlinked parts of the internal flash to SD card, but sd card doesn't exist.... but I've never actually tried apps on SD, so I have no idea .

wow..it is getting really strange...I just took off the battery and the G1 screen stayed on....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh....this is weird..*

The screen holds colors after it's powered off, it's normal. It fades away slowly.

lol did you unplug the A/C if not then thats why. If you have a card reader just move the update.zip and if you don't boot into recovery and do a wipe without the SD plugged in. Then put it back or format the sdcard and next time save the backup to your pc before.

how can I push an update.zip through adb shell?? thats my only hope...or how can I restore through spl?? I am able to get through fastboot...and I did a wipe and that did not help...since I can't do no update.zip..or anything..

Fastboot does not require a sdcard. Just flash a working boot.img, system.img, and userdata.img thats stored on your computer.

if u go into the recovery menu (home+power)
and do a wipe (alt+w)
it will erase the symlinks and restore you to the original rom without the symlinks to ur sd card but to the internal flash...

^^^what do I do after that....I need to use ADB to push it?? and if I do a fastboot how do I push the system file??? by adb??

Can you explain why you can't fastboot the backup to your phone?

okay, when I go to fastboot...I press back to fastboot and then the action button...and then what??

Apparently its cuz he never read the instructions.... people please help yourselves before you beg for help from others

^^NO!!
and nevermind..I solved the problem...I was having a major problem with my usb reading my phone and my micro card...I had to install the files for Microsd...which was a hassle to find it...so that I was finally able to flash the update.zip...Fastboot was not working....I kept on getting an error message..but thank God I finally got my phone to work...

This only took about 3-4 hours to figure..word to the wise..don't mess with your sd card unless you are sure you know what you are doing...

[Q] UH-OH

Got a bit of a problem folks,, hope to get some help...
i have been running TNT lite since i got the tab and was up to 4.1 and started getting the acore force closes. so i followed some threads and installed clockwork and did the partition reformate and wipe data,,,,
now when i reboot, it gets the birds splash, and moves to the G-tablet boot image (i have the dancing droid one) and it hangs,,,,,,, nothing....
any ideal how i "fix this"...
thanks for any help because as you can see i am at a stop!

I had some issues with my first tab similar to what you are having. The only way I solved it was by reflashing and wiping all date, which takes you back to the EULA. Good luck.

Do you have functional recovery? I'm guessing yes since you partitioned. Go to recovery and flash the rom again. You can mount the usb drivers in cwm to start usb mass storage so that you can download the rom on your computer and transfer to tablet. You can also put rom on external sd card and install from cwm.
When you partitioned the storage you deleted everything including the os. I believe it warned you of that before you did it.
If no recovery then you will have to nvflash. Search nvflash and bekit to get the nvflash info.
Matt

Make sure you are using bekits .8 CWM release. The latest release of CWM gave me fits, the only thing that would install was CM 7.

This isn't an Android Development topic, its a General topic, but don't worry about it, a mod will move it.
As to the question, like the others said. Use CWM .08, Wipe System, Wipe Cache, Install zip from SD Card, Install your choice of ROM (in your case, TnT Lite 4.1), Install gApps.zip, Reboot system now. That should get you up and running.
I am confused about you saying that you just now installed CWM but have been running TnT Lite. How would you have done that or do you mean you tried to update CWM or do you mean you have been using the stock TnT?
Also, feel free to hop on the #Tegratab IRC on Freenode if you need fast troubleshooting. Someone is usually on there to help

I "think" i tried this last night. I have 4.1.4 Update.zip and recovery folder on an USB stick. In CW, i went to "mount USB" (thinking i could access my USB and install from there) but ???? i didnt see anything and the only options were install update.zip from SD, and from Location but no USB option, and of course no way (that i saw) to brows to another location to "pick" where i wanted to install from.
Im thinking i am missing something with this step, or just plain old doing it wrong..

I have been installing the Roms, by downloading, taking the two "files" and moving them to my tab, and then rebooting with the power volume up,, ,finds the update and installs the ROM. its worked for all of them since 2.2...i thought i read that was an acceptable means of installing the ROM.????
as far as getting the files onto my SD (now). How? my computer doesnt see the tab because it is just hanging on dancing andy(unless there is anothe way of making it "see it", i cant seem to figure out how to get CW to read from my USB drive.....
Im just plain "stuck".
I am by no means a Android guru, and up to this point havnt had problems in the past... I TRULY am thankful for ANY help and all help i have recieved...
thanks folks
Jake

power off the tablet.
hold vol+ then power till u see recovery key pressed in the upper left corner of the screen. it will appear while the birds are still on the screen. If you get to the g tablet screen power off and repeat till u get into cw recovery.
Using volume +/- to navigate up and down Home to select and back to go back one level
Navigate cw recovery till u see mount usb storage i think its under partitions.
when you see usb mounted hook up the usb cable to the computer to the tablet mini usb port. copy the rom of your choice to the tablet. u only need the update.zip
once copied unmount usb storage.
back out till u see apply update.zip
Install and reboot u will be good to go.
of course flash gapps if u know what that is and want market on the tab.
Enjoy.

CW Won't read your USB drive. The "Mount USB" option in CW is to mount your tablet onto your computer as a USB storage device. By doing so, you can push files over to the tablet's internal storage from your computer.

Agree. That is what I was talking about earlier, I just couldn't remember what it was labelled in CWM. Mount the USB to your PC and push over the file. Then in CWM choose install from sdcard (I think, too lazy to look). Navigate to the rom file and run it. All should be well after that.

I've had issues with the dancing droid boot animation (as have many others) where it won't get past the boot screen. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone.

OLD!
This is the newest version of CWM compiled from Source. Along with this comes some much needed changes.
1st and foremost: I am not responsible for any bricks. Know what you are doing before attempting this.
Code:
New Version Changes 06/16/2011
Reverted back to Yellow Color Scheme (this was causing source not to sync)
What ever else changed with the source
This is just to bring you guys to the latest CWM Source.
New Host :)
Changes:
Red font (Much like Voodoo Red CWM) to show EXT4 Support
Able to backup and restore both ext3 and ext4 without any issues

EDIT: 2 versions now avail. These instructions are for the Internal SD version only
CWM now mounted to Internal SD. Brought back flashing from Internal SD due to request.
External SD is also mounted, however at this time, unable to flash from both internal and external.
If you would like your old CWM backups, be sure to copy over the Clockworkmod folder from your external to your internal sd.
External version instructions.
There aren't any. Flash as you are use to with the 3.0.2.7 Yellow recovery
To flash, use NVFLASH.

you can now backup and restore ext4 based partitions.
This also give the option to have the latest cwm, and gives the option to be able to flash from internal sd if you happen to have a small microsd, anotherwords if you have only a 2gb microsd, go for the internal version because that will give you more space for roms, kernels, and mods, and backups.

Thanks Krylon!

can someone plz help i got it extracted didnt have to be extracted anywhere specific rite? and what is the next step after i extract it?

UnionMount/aufs/unionfs?
Anybody remember the discussions and use of aufs (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Aufs) and unionfs (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/UnionFS) back in the G1 days? Lots of discussions here in XDA about it but I believe it was available in haykuro, cyanogen and jesusfreak builds. It allows two separate filesystems to appear on the same mount point. I'm not sure what issues exist with it today but maybe some of the kernel hackers could comment?

Anyone else notice that the SD card space free is messed up on the external version? Still seems to be reading the free space from Internal, although SEEMS to be backing up to external SD (as its not failing w/ on 300MBs free)
EDIT: LMAO! Guess i accidentally flashed the wrong version. That's what happens when I work on my phone before coffee........

anyone? idk been trying for an hour i guess il just keep regular recovery aint that much of a diff sux i wanted the new one but after i extract get lost from there

(Q) Rom manager

hi all
i want to change my TF ROm into prime 1.7 but they say i must install clockworkmod recovery , i have install room manager and when i want to verify my tablet
there is'nt asus transformer in the list
any one have a solution with that ?
tq

Sounds like you have not rooted your TF yet. Check the Dev forum for the method that feels best for you and have at it. Then install the custom CWM posted in there also.
That'll get you rolling.

That's odd. When I rooted CWM was installed along side.
Have you tried to reboot into Recovery? (Reboot holding down the Power button and pressing Down on the Volume button. Then when the Recovery message pops on in the upper right corner....quickly press Volume up). You must be quick with that.

sloved !!!!
but why now i can't mount my sd card ?
they say "Error mounting /sdcard "

You need to make sure your uSD is formatted correctly. This error is not uncommon. Windows and CWM often cannot format correctly (uSD).
Use this: https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

ROM Manager is NOT compatible with the Transformer.
Depending of your method of root, a version of CWM usually get install with it.

And how should one be going about using this exactly? Should I assume that if one is running the usual flavours of Windows Fail that they would just download and install, it will auto detect the internal sdcard and microsd card where applicable, give you a drop down list of which one you want to format and have at 'er?
This was a issue for me after running the Asus Transformer root kit v7.1 and i managed to use nvflash and apply revolver rom and confirmed cwm as working but same storry with mounting sdcard. Please advice.

Take your micro sd card out, put it in a card reader and plug into your PC via usb port. Run the sd formatter program to format your micro sd card (save anything you don't want to lose first).

o3d goes into recovery mode every time it boots

Hi guys, i'm in desperate need of your help. i think my precious o3d might have been screwed.
first let me tell you what i did. as you know the internal sd card of o3d is 5gb or so and it fills up very quickly. this internal sd card is mounted as /sdcard. i have a class 10 16gb micro sd card and when i insert it, its automatically mounted as /sdcard/_ExternalSD. The applications or games, especially the ones that have external data folders which are like 1gb in size insists to be installed on /sdcard. You can't move those data folders to _ExternalSD, because then the apps doesn't work.
Then i came across this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189701
As you can see that was exactly what i needed. I had CWM 5.0.2.0 installed so i downloaded the first .zip then copied all of the files and folders excluding the _ExternalSD folder to the external sd card then rebooted into recovery. From there i flashed the zip and rebooted again. phone booted up and all was ok and it worked. now the phone sees the external sd card as the internal one and the internal sd card was mounted as /sdcard/_ExternalSD. I then formatted the internal sd card from the settings menu because i already copied all of the stuff there to the external card. It worked fine and the internal card is formatted. After that i decided to get a nandroid backup so i opened the rom toolbox program. From the menus i selected the backup option, gave it a name, clicked ok. the phone rebooted into cwm recovery screen but nothing happened. then i noticed something was not right because there was some error lines under the cwm menus saying "E:can't mount CACHE:recovery/command" etc. Then i selected the reboot phone option but the phone rebooted right back into the CWM recovery again!! At that point i knew that i was @#?^ed.
Anyways i researched a lot and came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156549
i did exactly what he said and it worked, i mean it flashed nicely. then i rebooted the phone but it booted into the recovery again!!! But this time the CWM recovery was gone and i believe this is the stock recovery screen. I can browse the menu of it and make selections but the phone boots into the recovery every time it reboots.
The recovery screen looks like this:
http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6654644033_b616bc0635_z.jpg
Then i flashed the phone to the latest official firmware V21A_00, it flashed nicely but it still boots right into the recovery everytime.
Then i installed the Android SDK and tried to push the original vold.fstab file to the system using the adb command line tool but it doesn't see the phone. I think adb works only when the system boots up normally, not in the recovery mode.
I don't know if there's a way to install the CWM from the stock recovery somehow. If you know how, please tell. The CWM has more options.
I don't know what else i can do. It started to look ridiculous. If there are any experts cool enough to help please do so. I'll be waiting. Thank you...
Edit:
I also tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1244490
I starts just fine but get's stuck on the "RESET" command, after a while it gives "DOWNLOAD FAIL!" error. I think the phone is supposed to restart automatically but it doesn't. Manually resetting the phone doesn't work either.
I'm about to pull my hair out...
Edit 2:
I also posted on the official LG Mobile forum here:
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards...d-goes-into-recovery-mode-every-time-it-boots
Fingers crossed

Quite a post!
From all your post there is no mention that you formated and did a factory reset after 21a flash.
Can you please try that if you haven't?

thank you for the reply!
i tried all 4 wipe options on the recovery screen then rebooted. it's the same, i'm back at the good old recovery again

Did you try with the external sd card out?
This is strange, usually a kdz flash coupled with a format fixes the problem.
Some how it still can't find the internal SD card.
I don't have further recommendations. Sorry

Hopefully someone else on this forum can suggest a way for you to unbrick.
your problem is although you have reset your phone, somehow it can't find a partition to boot from.
or
somehow the KDZ flashing is not totally successful.
good luck

If only there could be a way to be able to use the adb command from the Android SDK then i might be able to restore the vold.fstab file to its original, if the problem is that at all. Maybe then it'll work. To be able to flash the CWM Recovery again somehow might be a good thing too because it has more options like flashing .zip format roms but i have no idea how. Does anyone know if the stock recovery can flash some specifically named file to the system, does it have that kind of functionality? I'm desperate, please share your thoughts.

.............anyone?

I am sorry to say that but there is no solution for this problem yet. I have done the exact thing that you do and tried every single solution with no luck. The only way is to send it to lg repair service. My solution was to replace the mainboard.
Dostum gecmis olsun malesef tek cozum yolu anakarti degistirmek. Uzaman sayilirim android konusunda bosuna ugrasmayasin diye soyluyorum. LG servisi bile anca anakarti degistirerek cozum sunabildi. Temel problem internal karti formatlamis olman. Partititon table'i bozuyor bu islem malesef ve bu yuzden hicbir yontem ise yaramiyor.
Gecmis olsun tekrar...

so you say that the main problem was to format the internal sd card? well if formatting the internal sd card bricks the phone then why the hell is there an option to format it in the settings menu?

well if you didn't apply the swap fix, it wouldn't be a problem to format. When you swap the sd cards and format, it is the problem.

so you did exactly the same thing as me right? i mean you applied the swap fix then formatted the internal sd?
replacing the motherboard to fix this seems to be a bit nonsense to me to be honest. what does the partition table have anything to do with the motherboard?
if only there would be a .kdz format custom rom which factory resets the internal sd card during the flash process and maybe fixes the bootloader somehow, that might be the solution.

yes i did the same and the only solution was to replace the motherboard. we need a sowftware that can reach to the emmc in low-level. like omap flasher. but we also need the correct drivers which doesn't exist yet.

i don't know what the emmc is, i need to do research on that. but i still think that replacing the motherboard won't solve this issue because it seems non relevant to me. i messed up with the vold.fstab file. but after that it worked fine. i mean the internal and external cards swapped just fine. only after i decided to make a nandroid backup using rom toolbox all hell broke loose. i plan to wait a couple of days before turning the phone to LG service. i believe someone will come up with an idea.
yardım etmeye çalıştığın için teşekkür ederim bu arada

Well, there´s a new recovery for the O3D, v5.0.2.7 (I got it with ROM Manager).
It fixes 2 bugs of the previous (5.0.2.0) version: now the USB mass storage option in the mounts menu works (mount external SDCARD), and we can use ADB while in recovery. That way we can fix stuff in the phone filesystem while in recovery: we can now use ADB shell, or ADB push to replace files.
The problem is that I don´t know how to flash it to the phone while in the stock recovery. If someone can guide me on creating a signed ZIP containing this new recovery, flashable in the stock recovery, I would be glad to do that and post it here. I think these phones of you guys can be fixed using this method!

Great news! But now i need to find a way to install the new CWM. Just as you said i believe what i need is to find or make a .kdz update which includes this new CWM.
What do you think?

I know this is possible, at least for the Galaxy Ace: I have a ZIP file for this device with a custom recovery image, flashable in stock recovery!
To make one for the Optimus 3D, I need to know the following:
- How can I obtain the .IMG of the new recovery? I have found some temp files in clockworkmod folder in my sdcard. The creation date of one of them matches the exact moment I upgraded my recovery, and the file size also matches a recovery image: 5.54MB. Is it the recovery image? Can I just rename it to recovery.img? How can I extract it to ensure it´s ok?
- After I get the recovery image, I can use the Galaxy Ace ZIP as the base to build the O3D zip file. Any help on what do I have to change to make it work correctly?

I also tried this:

I starts just fine but get's stuck on the "RESET" command, after a while it gives "DOWNLOAD FAIL!" error. I think the phone is supposed to restart automatically but it doesn't. Manually resetting the phone doesn't work either.
I'm about to pull my hair out...
Edit: I'm 99% sure that this isn't a hardware related problem. And LG's software not being able to turn the phone to stock is totally [email protected]#$%!

On some "unbrick your optimus 3d" threads i came across this image:

i tried all methods around here but not once i came across a screen like it. weird...

well i give up guys. so much technical [email protected] going on and no one seems to understand this device enough. i'll turn it to the LG Repair Service today. Thank you everyone for your help...
