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.

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.
In December of last year, I had my friend root and install CyanogenMod onto my Mytouch 3G Slide. Everything was working fine until I wanted to update my ROM and tried to boot my phone into recovery mode to make a NANDroid backup. A screen with a picture of a phone and a red exclamation point inside a triangle would appear, and I'd have to pull the battery out to restart the phone.
Then, I tried to access the bootloader by holding the volume down and power buttons. After some loading, it asked me if I wanted to update. Not knowing what it was asking, I said no, and tried to access the actual recovery menu, but the same screen showed up.
I tried again, this time accepting the update. Now, when my phone boots, the stock mytouch splash screen appears and the phone does nothing from there.
At this point, what would be the best solution? Is my phone just bricked, or is there a way to restore it to the stock firmware/recover CyanogenMod?
EDIT: For clarification, I can still access the bootloader, where I have four options: Fastboot, Recovery (See problem above), Clear Storage, and Simlock.
EDIT 2: I left it on the splash screen and discovered that it seems to have just thrown my phone into a stock factory state, running 2.1-update 1. Not sure if it's still rooted.
Hi,
I've recently flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery using Odin to my Samsung Galaxy mini S5570 device,
the opertion was succesfull (Odin said PASS), but now when I try to boot into Recovery (pressing Middle button and power button) the device just get stuck in the Samsung screen (the first screen you see when you regulary power on your device).
Will be glad for some help!
*Any Ideas how to fix this problem? or why does it occur?
1) Will HardReset/FactoryReset the phone will uninstall ClockWorkMod Recovery?
2) Do I need to ROOT my device prior to the flashing of ClockWorkMod Recovery with ODIN?
3) Can I remove/uninstall the ClockWorkMod Recovery?
Thanks advanced for your help!
Same issue
Hello,
I've got exactly the same issue and do not find any answer
Thank you for your help!

Same here..
Same problem here, It just shows the samsung logo and that's all, I can't finish installing firmware
Stuck with first screen
I am also stuck with the opening screen. Prior being bricked the phone went through the washing machine. Board was cleaned. It still has carrier SIM lock on it. I am digging the forum for imput, but no luck so far.
With USB clable plugged in it shows only a small phone and computer icon with yellow triangle+exclamation mark on the dotted line between them. Cannot load the hard reset menu. The Download menu with big triangle comes up, that showed at least the display is working.
Odin 4.38 was able to flash the Clockworkmod, but no Gingerbread or some other update. The time runs happily but MIBIB will not load, and i must turn everything off.
I have the same issue. Wondering if there is a fix for this. Can boot into download mode but not Clockworkmod Recovery. Stuck at Samsung screen.
Okay well I found a fix!
I was trying to update CWM Recovery via Odin when I still had Froyo installed on the device. Classic rookie error. You need gingerbread to use the latest CWM. All I had to do was install an official samsung gingerbread ROM via Odin and then I was able to re-install CWM sucessfully. Now running CM9 on my Galaxy Mini and everything is great, very snappy (few bugs though)
I searched everywhere on this forum and found somewhat similar problems but none as d\ifficult as mine. I have a Tmobile htc mytouch 4g slide and I attempted to root it tonight when I got kinda stuck. I was using MyTouch_4G_Slide_All-In-One_Kit_V1.0 by Hasoon 2000. I got CWM v 5.2.0.7 installed and attempted to install cyanogenmod from my sd card while in recovery mode. It installed successfully but when i restarted it got stuck on the boot up screen (I guess its also called the splashscreen). In order to get back to recovery mode i had to pull the battery. I tried formatting from the CWM menu in recovery and then re installed cyanogen but the same thing happened again. Then one of my family members came in and clicked on the install stock recovery button to see if that would help. So now I have stock recovery installed but also installed the not working cyanopgenmod. Now I cant get my computer to recognize my device to re install CWM. This is my first time rooting a device and I have no experience with development so please be patient with me. My computer recognizes it when i first enter recovery mode but then it says it was unplugged and my phone shows a picture of a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. I am worried there is nothing i can do since doing a factory reset just results in a frozen splashscreen and my computer wont recognize it and i cant get in to recovery mode to install a different rom. Any help would be much appreciated
Just wanting some advice (if any) to a white line issue I'm having with this tablet. I bought this tablet with Lollipop 5.0.1 already installed. I managed to get it downgraded, rooted, and currently have TWRP installed as well as CM12.1 nightly. The problem I have is that as soon as I install ANY custom recovery (TWRP or CWM recovery) it boots normally at first giving me the LG logo. Then, instead of getting the AT&T logo (or the CM custom boot animation), it gives me a series of white lines spamming from top to bottom of the screen. I know for a fact it has to be software related as when I return to stock KK everything boots fine, giving me the LG logo followed by the AT&T logo. I did NOT use the ADB method. Instead I downgraded using the LG Flash Tool, and a test KDZ file, which allowed me to install Flashify, then TWRP. My problem ONLY begins once I install ANY custom recovery. This process did not unlock my bootloader, however. Could this be my culprit, or would it be something else? Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance for any help/tips. More information is completely available upon request.
P.S. The white lines eventually disappear when the screen goes to sleep on it's own. I can then press the power button to wake the device which gives me the lock screen as normal. I just want to know if I can get the boot animation working. Everything else works fine.
You found cwm?
