Hi all, so i have a particularly peculiar situation that happened to me the other day...I tried to root my rogers htc dream and i ended up failing but everything still booted and seemed to be the same..A few weeks later my friend was playing with my locked phone and activated a bug where the phone permanently locks and asks you for your google login information but doesn't accept it..Then when i rebooted my phone into recovery menu it was different then i remember (that is it was running cyanogen mod 1.2 JF)..i tried ot restore my phone but no go...then i tried to install a new mod (the new cyanogen mod) but it failed and now my phone is not booting past the rogers splash screen. I try accessing the recovery menu or the fastboot menu and both do not work/respond. What should i do? I need to get my phone working...the data on it is not important..i just want to get it rooted running android 1.6 donut...Thanks a lot everyone
Anyone? i can't access the recovery menu or the flashboot menu...what should i do?
Try posting in the Dream subforum where the people who specialize in that device hang out. The general forum probably won't yield much help.
Hello, I'm new to this whole rooting thing, and this afternoon I decided to give it a try on my MyTouch 3G 1.2. I downloaded ROMManager and preformed a flash recovery. I then proceeded to download the CyanogenMod 6.0 to my device and was forced to boot into recovery mode. Afterwards, I see a black screen with green text. The command list under this text read sd-ext.img not found and the ROM wasn't downloaded on my device. Now whenever I try to reboot my MyTouch 3G, it just stays on the green boot-up screen. I'm tired of all this rooting nonsense and just want to return to my phone's original Android 1.6 OS. Is my phone bricked? If it is can I do anything about it? Thanks in advance.
Severe panic!!
I rooted my Desire which was running 2.2 Froyo on the O2 UK network using unrevoked and it worked fine without any issues. Custom recovery by ClockworkMod.
The next day I then decided i needed to turn S-off so found a guide and tried installing unrevoked forever from a zip on the root of the SD and i got 'installation aborted error 42'. Tried again the next day but before i got started i decided to give myself re-assurance that i wouldnt lose anything on the device so i entered recovery and chose restore.
Big mistake! My handset then rebooted and got to the O2 splash screen. It wont move from there. Pulled battery out and tried again. Same. I assume i havent bricked the device and it is just stuck in a boot loop?
Since then i have removed all my user data from the SD card and 'cleared storage'. Tried installing an miui rom and again 'installation aborted'.
Can anyone clarify why this is happening and point me in the right direction?
I am a noob and would appreciate any help on this.
Hi Guys,
my HTC Desire GSM is stuck in Fastboot and won't boot into the ROM. The background to this issue is that I installed S-Off and then ClockworkMod and flashed Cyogenmod 7 to see if it would fix a reboot issue on the phone. The damn thing just reboots itself when the CPU is used heavily...
Anywho, after realising that Cyogen wouldn't resolve the issue I flashed the standard Virgin UK rom back over it and upgraded to 2.22.351.2 via the system update feature. The problem was that ClockwordMod was still installed and I had to get rid of it to sent the phone off for repair to Virgin!
So I did further research and found that I could flash HBoot via the AlphaRev.nl downgrader tool. I downloaded it and popped it into the root of my SD card and it flashed the bootloader back to Hboot 0.80.0000. That should have been it, but all of the sudden the phone no longer boots into the Rom. All it does is to power on and then go into Fastboot. That's it! When I try putting the standard Virgin Rom back onto the SD it tries to load it and then says "Main Version is older!" "Update Fail!".
How do I get around this now? The phone doesn't boot, so I can't re-flash S-Off and start again, not am I able to run the stock Virgin Rom within Windows because it complains about the versions.
Is there any ways around this situation? I just want to get the phone back to stock so I can send it to Virgin and get it repaired.
P.S. I *have* used the search function and spent the last 4 hours testing various things but I'm now stuck.
Cheers Guys!

Hi,
I have s-off and install cwm phone.
I found new ruu version for middle east (need arabic support), installed it, it doesn't boot, only till white htc screen. The phone was bought in Singapore (asia). So I made some battery pull outs since I was confused whats going on. Then I install back ruu for asia, it works again.
After trying some custom roms, I found out there are some issues with the the android, eg. Cannot sync gmail account for market to work, once after I entered my username & password, the phone restarted itself. Now, suddenly I cannot boot to android anymore, my cwm will say cannot read logs from e:/cache or something like that. I still can format and install roms, but It won't finish boot, either it stuck on white htc logo, or sometimes when I install zip again, it will get pass that but got stuck on after htc logo, eg. Coredroid startup screen.
Is my emmc fried? How much does it cost to fix it? Can I s-on before sending for warranty?
