Here is goes... so my buddy tells me he flashed to cm7 trinity, but when I turn the phone on it loads to froyo without a baseband. Won't connect to either sd (says cards are busy).
It also seems he reset the phone so cwm is gone but the back ups are still on the micro SD. I have the nvidia flash and LG update. Neither acknowledge that phone but do mine. Any new ideas will be helpfully.
Thanks

So the phone doesn't boot fully? And you can't get into recovery?

Full boot no recovery option.

reflash cwm recovery, put the stock nandroid that is listed in the dev section into your recovery folder, restore than and start over brotha
Sorry I ment to say no boot. Cwm is gone. I wish it was that easy. I'm ready to tell him to box it up and ship it off to LG and eat the fees.

A reset wouldn't wipe your recovery image. Do you still have root? And, have you tried pulling the micro sdcard out?
Sounds like he didn't NVFlash CWM. That would be you're first step.

At this point I've tried every method of flashing, and every version of cwmr. No matter what version or method I use, after about a week, I lose the ability to flash any roms that I havnt already flashed. I also can only restore certain backups due to.an MD5 mismatch. Has anyone else had these issues?

Download the stock with root and use one click root to unroot after that use one click recovery and pick stock. Than hard reset your back on tmobile out the box stock

No issues like this. I reverted back to other roms more than once and it worked everytime. No mismatch error

Ya I downloaded it and everything and tried different ways and it wont let restore, just says md5 sums mismatched tried 2 sdcards and downloading them in root of sd card and directly in the CWM/restore folder. still a no go, but I can restore other backups and flsh roms. just not the one i need.
Probably won't get to it till thursday or so, but im going to try and go back to completely stock, reroot, reflash cwr, flash cm7. Otherwise im getting a replacement...
Ps
The dl posted in another thread for me failed as well. I also had an intense the other day where all my partitions were completely wiped. It took 3 hours to finally get nv flash to flash cwr and flash a rom.

My SD was bad! Reformatted in cwr, then in settings SD and storage... dl cm7, and flashed. Just remember to copy ALL the contents of your sdcard cause formatting WILL DELETE EVERYTHING!

Ok if anyone is still having problems, id like to mention that I exchanged my 5 year old 2g simcard yesterday for a new one, and bought a new 16gb class 4 sandisk sdcard, and EVERYTHING is working great! so far maybe only 2 or 3 occurrences of data loss, easily corrected with a battery pull. And I borked some lib files trying to get the camcorder to work. So I installed the kanged version update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-G2x-KANG-signed.zip overtop of my build to get the rom to boot again, and now the camcorder works! Maybe only about 15fps but works nonetheless...

So. I HAD the proper CWM installed for this device, this was this morning.
Of course though, I always have to mess with stuff and ALWAYS without nandroiding first. Im so dumb!
I was in rom manager and went ahead and flashed the CWM for a xoom . Now when I enter cwm I get errors mounting the external sd . It wont mount even manually do I cant flash anything. Isn't there a way to put the proper cwm into a zip file and flash through cwm using update?

Sorry for the misspelling and thank you for the info. Technically im not bricked though and that's a guide for unbricking. Is there any easier way to get my external card mounted as I don't have a windows computer on hand to manually install the rom?
Or if I could just install a zip from the internal storage.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
it's not just for unbricking. basically, it does a very thorough job of restoring your device to the correct configuration. i imagine you flashing the wrong cwm screwed something up. nvflash restores your device more cleanly, so unless your device has hardare issues, it should fix it.
but yes, you do need a pc to do this...

Im already running a modded rom - primordial 3.1, but wanted to flash to prime 1.5 anyway. I hope this solves my problems.

Just in case anyone stumbles across this in the future, I was able to get it worlkng by formatting my sd card. It was the only thing I could do to get CWM to recognize the card.
First off, i'm sorry if there are posts on this. I searched this site and Google to find my answer. I tried flashing the Infused rom first, the flash didn't work, I was stuck in boot loop. I eventually used Odin to get back to stock. I decided to go with the SuperCM7 instead to try my luck with that. I am rooted and have installed CWM through rom manager(galaxysi9000 as im sure you all know. I'm trying to follow the steps on infinitybiff's post(directions for flashing....) Anyways when i try to go into CWM recovery, i'm taken to the standard android <3e> recovery screen. Should I try downloading CWM to my sdcard and trying that? Any suggestions would be great!
Just manually replace the recovery file.
Could you guide me through that? Sorry im a noob.

Thanks... Although for some reason my phone wasn't booting up. Now trying Odin again, but its getting stuck at factory.fs.rfs or whatever it is. Hopefully didn't brick my phone.
no soup for you.
sorry had to do it. Seinfeld was a good show.
Hahaha, yes Seinfeld was a good show. No worries got my phone up and running, now to try this flashing crap again... OK, update.zip is on my INTERNAL SD CARD and still not booting into CWM. On the verge of giving up.
Did you try to manually replace the recovery file yet? ROM Manager doesn't always seem to work for it.
My method :
Flash the kernel+cwm by sgs kernel flasher apps.
if your rom.
Froyo > Community kernel v8
GB > Infuse-GB 1.0 kernel

Hey guys and gals, today while at work my phone decided to shut off and then come back on which isnt uncommon . But when it came back on it is now stuck on the samsung screen and thats it . I can boot into download mode and even into CWM recovery but it wont allow me to mount my sd card to do a restore . So my question is ,what can I do to get this back to normal or will I have to ODIN all over again ? Oh and im on stock ep4d

try wiping just cache and dalvik in CWM (make sure its CWM too and not stock recovery, just making sure since you said you're on stock GB) and see if it'll let you boot fully after that... if still nothing you may lose your data and just have to do a full wipe or Odin

Yes its a rooted stock . I have the yellow CWM ,and I have wiped everything I possibly can as Im not worried about loosing the data . Lol looks like when I get home i will have to reodin . But thanks I was trying to avoid that . The part Im really worried about is I tried 2 different sd cards and neither will mount in order do a restore or to flash a new rom . Any suggestions on that ? Thanks

maybe your sd card slot got fried somehow. I would get the phone up and running by flashing a rom using odin. i know some roms say u have to use cwm, but im pretty sure the allinone rom can be done in odin. if after that u cant get an sd card to work u may need to talk to verizon n see if theyll send u a new charge.
Yeah just flash the all on one package. Make sure you take out your SD card before you flash just in case it isn't fried.

usually, the phone will hang on SAMSUNG if it can't mount any of the devices (primarily /system).

I could boot into recovery, and I could not get it to mount to the SD card but it would mount the system. Got my new charge yesterday and didn't waist any time loading it up with infinity. Hopefully it wont happen again.

Okay so I am not used to samsung infuse 4g, due to the fact that i have a droid x2.. but i rooted my amigos infuse for him, and was going to load cm7 onto it, but for some reason when i put it into the stock cwm[as directed], i could not find the cm7.zip file anywhere, and the only options i had in cwm were clear cache/data, and a few other things, but no options for uploading from the SD card. Any pointers?
has to be in the internal sd card. not the external card.
Did you see reinstall packages as an option?

What color is the recovery? If it says Samsung recovery utility at the top and you can't flash a zip other than update, then you most likely have the stock 3e recovery. At that point you'd have to replace the recovery file in the phones system.
