I was given an Insight that was pre-rooted with Coredroid on it. The wifi worked then, but after I turned it off and tried turning it back on it says "error". I tried switching it to a different rom (gtg465x's Inspired Ace), and at first the wifi worked. After I tried turning it off and back on again, it didn't. Then I flashed it back to stock and did a factory reset and the same thing happened with the wifi again.
Is it possible that a file was modified and didn't go back to its original state?
Sounds like you might have a file or data corruption with your wifi drivers or files. Make sure you perform a full wipe, then reflash rom. There are zip files that you can run through clockwork mod recovery that will perform the wipe for you.

Also, if you are backing anything up using Titanium backup or any other backup software, never back up and restore system settings, as this tends to cause problems.
If after a full wipe and reflash of rom, and you are still having problems, you might have a hardware issue.
Do I have to re-root it it get clockwork to work?
I read somewhere that a reset through the menu isn't the same as hard reset through the boot menu. I've tried a few different combinations of powering the phone while holding the volume button down. But I can't seem to get the boot menu to come up.
The phone has to be rooted/S-off in order for you to install clockwork mod recovery. There are two methods of rooting. You can try either

In order for you to boot into the bootloader, you must disable fast boot. Go to either Settings > Applications or Settings > Power to disable fast boot. Once disabled, shut down your phone completely. Once off, hold down the volume down button and then press and hold the power button until it loads the boot loader. NOTE: Be very careful with what you do you in bootloader.

Alright. This is a 100% stock Nexus S- nothing "development" wise was done to the device, no system tools installed that could cause issues, basically nothing but basic apps loaded on the device.
It just started today. I was working on my bf's Vibrant (another, more successful story) and grabbed my Nexus and hit the power button and it did not turn the screen back on. Holding the power button down did not reboot the device, and none of the buttons would light up or function.
So, I pulled the battery. Now every time I try to boot, it hits the "Google" screen and stays put. I left it alone for 5 minuets hoping it would finish booting and nothing. The soft buttons will light up, and if I touch them they register the touch but it does not help the phone to boot.
I do know that the phone was basically dead right before this happened, and at first I thought it was just dead. However, its been on the charger for at least 30 minuets- which should have given it enough of a charge to boot up, and still nothing.
What could cause this issue?
I did install a couple of new applications today, and I know the market updated a bunch of them but they're all apps that I've had on several phones (minus the two new ones today) and have never had an issue with any of them. The two new ones I downloaded were OS Monitor, and a 2G/3G toggle for hopes of improving some battery life.
But those are the only two things I've done differently. I've only been using the phone for a week but I haven't had any problems at all, before this.
Now- if worst comes to worst I can seem to get into the bootloader, and through that, stock recovery. So I can try to do a factory reset and wipe cache but without a backup I really kinda hope thats a last resort.
Please help, and let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you!
I understand that you're fully stock which I assume means you have a locked bootloader (everything I say from here on out assumes as such)? First, I'm going to also assume that you didn't update to 2.3.3? If not, then follow the steps in this guide to boot into a custom recovery and from there go to backup and restore and do a NANDroid backup. Now go to mounts and storage and mount USB storage (or whatever its called, don't have my phone right here). Plug your phone into your comp and copy over whatever you'd rather not lose from your SDcard (just in case you have to wipe). Now download the 2.3.3 update from here and put it on the root of your SD card. Now go back and flash this. Reboot and see if you're golden. If so, great, if not try a factory reset.
If that doesn't work go through the steps again to boot into a custom recovery, you might have to unlock your bootloader and wipe all your data (again) and restore your backup and try doing a factory reset with that. Don't worry about unlocking the bootloader, it can be relocked with a simple command and it won't wipe anything to relock it.
Here is the command just in case:
Code:
fasboot oem lock
I got all the way to having clockwork recovery booted up on the phone, but nothing would mount. Everything gave me an error, and factory reset froze...
I don't think there is anything I can even do from here, is there?
Hey folks,
I could desperately use some help here...
I rooted my Droid Incredible using UnRevoked, which was painless and easy. After that, I downloaded Rom Manager, then backed up my current Rom.
Then I downloaded Titanium, and backed up all apps and system data.
Using Rom Manager, I downloaded Cyanogen mod 7.0.2, checked google apps, DID NOT check wipe data or cache, and then clicked OK to let it work it's magic.
The system turned on and off a bit, and then the CyanogenMod boot screen came on, ran the arrow around the droidbot a few times, then the droidbot dissapeared, came back across the screen, and the arrow resumed circling. This happened about 20 times, before I gave up and powered off by removing the battery.
Then I loaded Hboot, and attempted to access items in Clockworkmod, but even though I could click on an item, it would show the top hat with no change in status for many minutes. I eventually tried almost all options.
My Hboot screen shows:
HBOOT - 0.92.0000
Radio- 2.15.00.07.28
I am unable to click on Fastboot, Recovery leads me to busted Clockwork menu, Clear Storage causes restart into looped Cyanogen Mod screen, haven't tried Simlock, and Factory Reset also goes to broken Clockwork Menu.
I downloaded the RUU file from Doug, changed the title as directed, and put it on the SD Card. It gave me the option to Update, which when restarted afterwards continued to loop in Cyanogen Mod screen. Or, if I went to Clockwork Mod screen, the font was now Green instead of Orange. Also, when I click an item in the Clockwork Mod menu, it simply goes to a black screen until I hit the power button to bring me back to the menu,
I'd love to just get the phone to a factory state, so I can possibly use it for it's purpose of calling and sexting (just kidding.)
Please help, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Oftentimes, ClockworkMod Recovery has an error at the bottom stating:
E:Invalid command argument
I have to go to bed for a bit, but will be back on around 10:30am EST. Thanks for any and all help!
In ClockworkMod, I can now access and start an operation by selecting it with the volume buttons, and then hitting the joystick button. This wasn't working previously. So, I've tried some of the obvious options such as Factory Reset but it's not doing anything. I've tried multiple solutions, which means I've probably messed it up on many levels. Is there any way I can just start from scratch or get a system restore done?
After utilizing that update from Doug, and then going into Clockwork Mod, clearing all caches and system data, and then trying to restore to a previous flash for the 7th time... I think it might be working!
Thanks to anyone who looked at this.
i've searched high and lo, been reading up on this forum for awhile now, reading the tutorials, etc. i must now hang my head in shame. managed to root my phone, put android revolution ROM on it, yay go me. decided i wanted to restore back to previous ROM. couldn't boot into bootloader via vol - and power, so i used ROM manager. went into backup/restore and picked a previous version. rebooted phone and now it hangs on the white HTC screen. i can take my battery out and put it back in and it will charge my phone. i think this might be my mistake, the battery was yellow when i tried all this. but it's been charging for awhile now, and still nothing. when i try to turn it on or the vol- and power it gets stuck on the white screen and is no longer charging. i've looked and looked and seen some suggestions of booting into recovery, etc. but i can't for some reason boot into anything. i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong or what. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
ok, when i take the sd card out, it boots just fine, so what would my next step be?
Haha....you didnt wipe your device clean before restoring from your backup!
Remove the battery and place it back in, hold the bottom volume button and lock button...you should boot into Hboot(white screen also)
give it like 20 seconds because it will search for a file and select the recovery option by scrolling using the volume keys.
factory reset phone and go into advanced-wipe dalvik-cache
now install any rom or any backup!
You must do this for every ROM and every restoring of a backup...
thank you for your response, but i corrected my mistake, and wiped everything, but the backups i was trying to go back too still didn't work. still got stuck on the screen. i was however able to flash the ROM i had, but it's very basic, and nothing like what i flashed from it originally.
so today i went to unlock and flash CM 10.1 on my tablet.
unlocking went smoothly
installing clockwork recovery went fine
installing cm10.1 and gapps went fine
once i booted into cm successfully, i checked the internal storage to see if it was clear. it wasn't, so i went to settings, backup and reset, and done a factory reset. now i'm stuck on this one screen and i dont know what it is.
i've held the power button and volume down until the tablet restarts and that results in the same thing.
i've tried power and volume up. that seems to start the tablet but the screen stays blank. i connected it to the computer and my computer installed an APX or APTX or something like that driver.
i've tried holding power, volume up and down, and that does the same as the power and volume up.
i'm very new to installing custom recoveries and roms. can anyone give me an idea on whats happened
Once you have a custom recovery installed you should NEVER wipe from the system settings or the bootloader menu. You wipe from your recovery.
If you do that, the bootloader seems to write a command to the misc partition to reboot into recovery.
And that is the loop you seem to be stuck in.
You can try _that's method to clear the misc partition from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528313
Read the whole thread, salvation may be found in post 7.
If that does not work, you could try this:

buster99's method may be another way to enable you to boot into the bootloader and flash a working recovery.
Good luck!
Thanks for the tip. I'll remember to do that next time. As of now it is fixed. I found a post on the cyanogen forum of someone who done the same thing. And he said he had to wait a painful 6+ hours of that screen I posted. Lucky for me it was only a ~45 minute wait. So all is good. Cyanogen is running. Recovery is working. All the stress is gone.
I have a question, dont really know where to ask. I have the tmobile j700t, and I've tried restoring with odin, (with the j700t firmware of course) and im not sure if its doing everything. Everything seems to go fine in odin, flashes boot, modem, system etc. reboots, rebuilds cache, then it just goes to my original lock screen with my custom wallpaper and all my apps still on. I can do a factory reset after, but it doesnt seem to do anything but clear the cache. Am I missing something? I enables OEM UNLOCK and USB debugging before hand.
The inability to make write changes sounds like a bad NAND issue, you could try flashing with a .pit file but the phones internal memory could be physically damaged.

Try clicking the Nand erase all box and unclicking auto reboot. Flash the factory ROM and when it completes hold volume down, home and power buttons until the screen goes black. This is important, as soon as the download screen is gone you need to hold the recovery buttons (volume up, home and power) so the phone can erase all system data and update itself the way it's designed to after flashing a factory update. If the device reboots before you enter recovery you have to start over. Hit thanks if this helps bro.

well that seems to have fixed it, weird though, when I rebooted into recovery like you said, it did an update, there was a progress bar, then it rebooted, and rebooted AGAIN, did an "update" and then rebooted. Weird, I usually see it say "updating" but then it will stop and you can bring up the recovery menu. Never seen a progress bar and then it just reboot twice. Well anyway it seems to have worked so thank you!

Whenever you flash back to stock or update a stock firmware through official means, it automatically boots into recovery and erases the system you have in place, very similar to TWRP. If you try to flash a stock firmware without erasing everything you will always run into some kind of incompatible memory error. The screen you're thinking of is just the stock recovery checking your system and OTA's for an official upgrade. Glad I could help man.
