Here is my situation, my phone is HTC myTouch 3g...I wanted to lessen the internal or system's space but can't find the right software to do it in Market so I played with my phone and what I did is restart chosing "Recovery". When I reached prompts and commands area I chose to wipe out battery memory (don't know what was the exact term but something like that)...so now, my battery won't charge plus when I did "Reboot Recovery", the phone won't start as if it wipes out all the system! So now, I'm hanging on for 30 minutes or so but nothing happened when I turned my phone on, it just shows HTC Magic and nothing else. I wonder how to fix this problem. My phone won't even connect to the PC via USB or even if I plug it through AC charger.
OK, so I figured out how to go to the Clock Recovery but still, it won't boot! Help!
Full Wipe
Wipe Cache
go to mounts and storage
format boot
format system
format data
go back to main menu
install .zip from SD Card
flash CM from there and reboot.
Replacing rom in HTC HD2 NAND
hi, new to this rooting stuff. Got android rom loaded on NAND of my htc hd2. This not like this rom so i want to try a new rom. My question is do i have to erase my phone or do anything to it before i flash a new rom. thanks.
Problem Solved but...
Here is what I did to the problem:
1. I downloaded Cyanogen Mod 6 for my HTC Magic to my PC. I also downloaded the Google Tiny Apps. I put both into a newly formatted SD card (must be FAT32).
2. Since I still have the ClockWorkMod I restarted my phone by pressing the home and power button. I pressed install from flash from the options and it gave me options to open and install both of Cyanogen and/or Google Apps, I did Cyanogen update first then Google Tiny Apps. Note that there will be only two options. I forgot to write down the exact path name.The path names were obvious so you'll figure it out when you get there.
3. Just wait until the install is finished, look at the prompt in the screen until it says done.
4. Then reboot it using the options, just press the back button to go back to Clock's home screen.
Then it is done and solved.
BUT!!!!!! My problem now is that the backlight option is missing so my phone has no backlight now.........somebody help with that glitch???

Very easy, hook up your phone to your PC and select USB mode, drop your downloaded zip file in the SD card (the rom) then disconnected from PC, turn off phone and take out battery for 2 secounds, put battery in and hold down volume and power button till a white hboot screen shows, it will load some files, just wait (its normal) use volume down and hit recovery, once in recovery make a backup of your current rom, ALWAYS BACKUP, to do that wipe dalvik cache first then hit backup, after its complete go to mounts and storage and format cache, data and system, once complete go to install zip from sd card, find the zip you want to flash/install on the list (that would be your rom zip file) click install, once done reboot your done "click thanks if it helps"

So, here is the thing.
I was running on Hellybean-20130426-crespo. Been running for quite some time without any problem.
Phone runs out of battery, so, I plug it in and get stuck on "Google" screen.
After some tests, I find out that if I unplug it from charger, and turn it on, the phone boots, but while booting, it reboots, and enters this way into an infinite loop.
So, I think, I will do a factory reset. This worked, the phone booted normally, and I was re-installing my apps, but every now and the phone rebooted.
So, I think again, I will wipe the phone clean and re-install hellybean, see what's going on.
I enter recovery, and wipe cache, system, boot and then I go to sd card...
I can't format the SD card. When I check the logs later, I see I get an error message:
Photo: puu.sh/2Q9nW.jpg
I can mount the SD card, but I can't see the files on my PC.
But when I go to the "apply zip rom SD card", recovery can see the files:

Any ideas what to do next? I will probably get it to a Samsung service center tomorrow, because I'm out of ideas.

You don't need to format the SD Card for a "full wipe".
You just have to:
1. Factory Reset
2. Format System
3. Format cache
4. Format dalvik cache
5. Format Data
That really is it. Then re-flash helly bean.
If you're having funky sd card errors I would reformat my sdcard through your pc as that is the best most reliable way to do this. Then try installing what you need to.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Well, yes only problem is that the PC can't read the sdcard, so I can't save the "update.zip" into the sdcard.
As of today, I can't even mount the sdcard, so I guess my only option is Samsung service.
When I bought the phone, the camera wouldn't focus, got it replaced (the camera)
Then the vibration stop working, got it replaced as well
2 weeks ago the speaker started making distortions, got it replaced as well.
All in warranty. The phone doesn't have a scratch, I'm very careful with it.
This time I will ask them to replace the phone, or else I will burn down their store. I've had enough....
PS: all the sdcard problems started after I sent the phone to service for the speaker problem and they downgraded me from stock 4.1.2 back to 2.3.
Don't know if it has something to do with it...
Hi
Let me give you some background, I have Samsung GT-S6310N that I use when travelling, a few months back I decided to root it, it hasn't been use since them, today I went to charge it and update for travel tomorrow, when I went to the Play store, was getting no internet access can't connect to internet, but browser and other apps that need internet worked, so was only affecting google apps, after doing a few suggestions that I could find on the internet still getting the error.
After not getting any further I decided to just to a factory restore., as part of the restore it rebooted but now it goes into a Clockworkmod Recovery, anything I try just goes back there, tried the clear caches, format system, cache, etc on reboot always goes back to Clockworkmod Recovery.
Also tried the Install from sdcard. but doesn't do anything. It doesn't look like it's not reading the Sdcard I have install, when I go to Mount and Storage I see mount /sdcard even if I select it and click on it nothing happens, the line that selects it goes to the top but still show Mount /sdcard
I tried to connect to Samsung Keis and Odin, but doesn't show anything on the ID:COM
I did a few times recovery mode Volume down + home+ power but goes back to the same Clockworkmod Recovery so I don't think is working.
Any advice will appreciate it, hope it's clear what the issue is.
Thanks
i did the same thing when i first bought my phone and after a search for days i found a zip file to recover it dropbox /s/g0feyxptr95nuzr/vM00CWM(1).zip
it was on this device's forum but i haven't found original thread since i am on mobile so i can't give credits and i uploaded it to my dropbox.
If you have formatted your /system, you need a working rom for n variant. Just search for it. Install rom, then install this file. It will open a new cwm, and reboot your phone from this menu.
If sdcard isnt working, try installing them from sideload.
Hello. I've been using Link2SD to link apps to my ext4 SD card partition with no problems, but yesterday I deleted some system apps and now, after booting and showing the lock screen (I can unlock and use my phone for a few seconds) the screen turns black, but it's still on because I can see the backlight on, nothing responds, even the bottom bar with the triangle, circle and square buttons dissapear.
I hold the power button and it does nothing, I have to force power off by holding the power button, and when I turn it on again, it boots normally, then shows a "Android is optimizing applications",, after aprox 15 mins optimizing apps, it boots normally , and then hangs with the black screen again, and the loop continues unless I remove the SD card and none of my linked apps shows (thats why I guess the problem is with Link2SD).
Can anyone help me here? I don't know if there is any way to log things that happen before the phone hangs, and never had this problem before, so I'm kinda lost here.
I deleted the apps "My consumer cellular" and "My extras", without making a backup first, and I don't know what's their real function. Maybe all this is happening because I deleted them? Because the other are Google apps that I don't think will cause this issue.
I attached the apps that I removed before the problem started.
Thanks for any help.

I've had this problem! I had to flash the ROM again.
You did Wipe cache and dalvik?

Wow, glad someone can help me!! Yes! I wiped both partitions using TWRP recovery. Right now I'm experimenting with wiping the ext4 partition (I backed it up) and link some new apps to see if the problem persists. If not, I'll copy all my old apps from the backup and try to boot again.
Strange problem, if the problem persists after all that, I guess I'll have to flash the ROM like you did.
Edit: I noticed an issue that happened to me me before while copying files from the ext4 partition. There were 2 files that I could not copy because of an error, the same error happened to me before with this phone while I was copying apps files from the SD card (FAT partition, using the normal "Move to SD card" Android button). Those file that I could not copy were causing my SD to be unmounted after boot, and I would mount it again and after some seconds, unexpectedly unmounted again!
I can't copy all the files to the ext4 partition, probably the mounting software I'm using is doing something wrong, because I copied the full sized folder from it to my pc. I'll have to reinstall all the apps, but at least my phone won't be hanging again (I hope!).
Did flashing you ROM again solved all the issues for you? Doing that wipes data? I've never flashed another ROM.

If flashing the stock ROM or a custom ROM will solve the problem.
hint:
If you want to do backup applications, you can use the AutoMoto! "Backup / APP" This option is being tested, but so far did not matter with me.

Hello all, as the title says, I'm new, both to the site and android rooting in general.
I used the latest sunshine to s-off, although now i read that that wasn't necessary. What I'm trying to do is get rid of the bloatware on my phone and gain a little more control over the device itself. It is a verizon phone on the tmobile network and things like verizon vm and the verizon cloud apps and such are really just taking up space.
So the question is, now that I have s-off'd the device, where do I go next? I managed to get TWRP on there, but I just don't know where to go from there. Yes, I searched the site, Yes I searched Google, and yes, I prayed to the Skating Droid of Legend.
Any advice would be great. All of the information i have found on my own is about 2 years old.
If you already S-OFF'd it, and even got twrp going, I recommend the only thing left to do is downloading a ROM from the Android Development section (in ZIP format), saving it to your phone's internal memory or external sd card, then flashing it via twrp. That way you will have a rooted, pre-de-bloated phone. In my case, the ROM I liked best and that worked fine for me was S-ROM-JW-5.2.5 (doanloaded from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ment/romthe-worlds-100-m9-1-32-401-8-t3065304).
I personally selected "Global" during the flashing options, as I do not use Verizon network (I live in Brazil currently). But even so, you can change to/from Global and Verizon (and something else) in the Android settings after you are already set up.
To flash, first place the ZIP file in your phone (do not unzip it). Either internal storage or external sd-card. Then turn the phone off, unplug it (make sure you have plenty of battery like 40% or more just to be safe). Then turn the phone back on booting into twrp (power + down vol, then select Recovery, then Power). Then select "Flash ZIP" and navigate to your ROM ZIP file select it and follow the prompts. Choose "full wipe" when prompted (this will only wipe internal storage system files and apps and such and not your external sd card). After flashing finishes, just let the phone reboot (you can select Reboot while still in the twrp recovery mode).
Do not panic during first boot, it takes several minutes in the HTC logo (like some 5 or 10 minutes) until Android itself shows up and starts building itself into your phone and booting up properly.
Please proceed carefully and just to be safe, before flashing the ROM, make a full BACKUP (theres the Backup utility inside twrp) and save the backup to your external sd card or PC. That way you can recover using that backup if needed (but you should be ok).

That's extremely helpful, thank you very much.
It turns out that Verizon is much better in my area than T-Mobile, so I wont be removing all the stuff I originally wanted to, however anything that gives me more options and power should I choose to wield it, is a welcome addition.
Thanks again.
