i have a problem how can i fix this problem
Buy a ouija board or visit a psychic.
To put this another way, if you don't describe the problem or what you did that caused it we're not really able to offer much help. There are a number of threads on this board and in the development section covering problems with phones that are stuck in a boot loop, at the LG logo, at CWM etc.
Here you go,here is the answer to your problem.

Don't panic it's always a good thing that clockworkmode works, i had the same issue, and now im using my O3D again, all you have to do is track a .zip rom which is in the general discussion (i'll try to locate it and post the link, meanwhile look for it), download it, create a backup using CWM, unzip the rom in the pc extract the file which contains a folder with a backup named as a date, place that folder in the internal memory (you can mount it using cwm) under the following directory \clockworkmode\backups don't erase the existing folder.
Back in cwm make a full wipe, then check te restore option using the backup folder that you placed (you will know by the date it was created)
And you are good to go, to get back your info restore again using cwm the backup that you created initially.

I'm running into this issue and don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I download things they automatically go into my sdcard/download folder. I downloaded a theme for the Xoom and I verified it was on my SD card by going into Root Explorer and looking for it.
When I reboot into recovery and go to install the .zip the file doesn't who up at all. Also if my card is corrupted is there a way to wipe from the Xoom itself?
It needs to go in the external folder within your sdcard.
So I have to make a folder called external and move the things? Is there a way to have the browser through downloads to a particular folder instead of me having to do it manually? I prefer to browse XDA from the browser and I like to download things from XDA. I will try that now and see if that works. Thanks I'll post back if it works out for me.

It won't work
You can't just make a file called external. I assumed that you had installed one of BRD's custom kernel's. This is the only way you can use the external SDcard. I assumed since you had cwm recovery working that you had done this.
Start with this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013
You need to be updated to 3.1 to use the latest kernel.
I also don't know of away to (easily) change the download location with the stock browser. An aftermarket browser may let you change the download location.
Awesome. It worked when I moved it into the extracted folder. I was able to flash the theme.
I was wondering if there was a way to change download path by editing something in root explorer.. Most if not all the things I download are from XDA and are flashable.
ok, guess you got it working
So I got a phone with cryogen7 or whatever from my friend. I want to make it completely stock again. I dont have his sd card. so I just have mine from another phone. I downloaded the stock g2x gingerbread file, but when I try to restore it, i get a md5 mismatch or something. I saw a thread on that but I dont know how to write code. just hoping someone could help me out. thank you.
Download it again, also try another browsee

Download the V21E nandroid from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196019
Then use your computer to extract the folder from the zip file you download. Copy that folder to the sdcard on your phone, and place it in the ./clockworkmod/backup directory. Then boot into clockworkmod recovery and select backup/restore > restore and then choose the backup folder you just copied to your sdcard. Make sure to do a full wipe/factory reset from within clockworkmod before you reboot or you might get a bootloop.
If you want stock recovery then use tga gunmanns one click app in the development section to restore stock recovery. Then you'll be 100% unrooted stock again.

Nandroid backups aren't flashable zips. With the files from the thread i linked to, you have to extract the backup folder from the zip before you restore it. But yes, you are correct that spaces in the name of the backup create issues.
Did you figure it out yet?

it freezes on "checking md5 sums"... don't know what to do
Are you using your computer to extract the V21E folder from the zip file? Ive used my phone before to extract it before and gotten the md5 mismatch error, and then used my computer to do it and it worked fine.
are you sure the rom your using is for your phone?
I'm looking to compile a rom (based on thiaiz) with modified sounds, theme, etc... I'd like to know if I make a backup using rom manager (creating a backup folder inside /clockworkmod/backup) the resultant image will be useful for anybody or only will work in my phone ? And why Rom Manager don't let me restore from internal Sd card ? Foremost I'd like to know if the scripts inside init.d will work. Thanks in advance.

actally it does let you restore from internal sd if you choose that from within the app. the phone shuts down and tries to find ext sd then proceeds with th restore. on the other hand if you reboot to recovery and try restore from there it wont let you...
And do you know if the scripts will work on another optimus 3D? Foremost supercharger99?

Hey there,
since a few time I can't restore my recently made backups..
Everytimes I want to restore the CWM Recovery says
"Checking MD5 sums
MD5 mismatch" ..
I've already searched the forum and couldn't find a thread in here..
Also the solutions I found on google didn't help me..
Any tips?
Thanks in advance..
EDIT: Recoverysystem is 5.0.2.0
I've had this happen once when I went in and changed name of my backup from cwm's default date and time naming to something else. Other than that not sure why you'd be getting mismatch error except for a maybe a bad sdcard.
You could try reflashing the recovery to rule out a bad flash of the recovery

Well, I didn't change the name..
Reflashed the recovery, still got the Problem.. :/
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk
Could be a bug in the recovery. I'd try flashing another recovery and see if that helps. Lots of different recoveries out there so just make sure the one you try supports your phone.

Of course it supports my phone. I've installed it from ClockWorkMod and chose LGE Optimus One. And it worked a few time before without problems.. :/

Found this you might try to rebuild your md5smd5s
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114
Hi,
I also got the same problem some time ago. But for me this is because i deleted the ext partition on my phone after the backup has been taken. So i think any hardware changes may result this.
So this might be because I've changed SD-card for flashing another ROM in between?
@kwkbnk : Thanks, but I've already tried this before...

I had this problem on one of my phones. I had deleted one of the files. (an extra sd-ext backup file that I did not need). The first thing that recovery does is check the MD5 sum of all the files. If it can't find one, it just says MD5 does not match and stops. It tries to check all files even if you tell recovery you only want one restored. I fixed it by modifying the nandroid.MD5 file. It is a text file with one line for each file, listing each file's name and its MD5 sum. I just edited the file and removed the line for the missing file and all was well, I was able to restore all the other files with no errors. I also noted that I could remove all the entries so it was an empty file and recovery restored all files without checking MD5s at all. That's not a good idea in case there is a file error, but there may be times when it's necessary.
Where do I find the nandroid.MD5?
Couldn't find it anywhere..

Mine was in the same folder that had the img files. Clockworkmod/backup on your SD card. There is a folder inside that for each backup you have made.
EDIT: I just looked at that referenced post above and that script first removes the nandroid.md5 file and then rebuilds a new one. If you got an error and the script did not finish, then there would be no nandroid.md5 file. If you feel brave, you can create an empty nandroid.md5 text file and I believe recovery will skip the md5 check. At least it did for me. That's no worse than building a new one from the files you have with the script. If there was a bad file, recovery would try to install the file anyway since the new md5 sums match.
For me it happen when my memory card storage is low I did a backup.

You can find the solution a view posts before, as already said.
I've uploaded an empty nandroid.md5 which causes the md5 sum is not checked.
Just copy it into your backup on SD (for example /clockworkmod/backups/2011-12-01.13.55.09).
You can find the MD5 here (xda-attechments don't support .md5-files).
Remember it could crash if your error is not caused by an missing nandroid.md5 .
OMG, helps alot
my eternal thanks
Thx unicycler! Saved me a lot of hours of frustration -I was just about ready to reinstall minicm7 on my X8 when I saw this thread! Your uploaded file fixed it all.
Thank you!!!
Leapinlar, please, can you reupload the MD5? The download link is broken

Hey all. I did something silly and deleted a file in system/bin folder while troubleshooting a problem. I made a backup of the file before deleting it in sdcard/download but my phone wont boot so I can copy the backup file back to system/bin. I am able to get my phone into download mode and I believe I could copy the file via adb. However I do not know how to get adb to recognize the phone in download mode. I type...
adb devices
and it states "List of devices attached" and there is nothing under the list but when I plug my phone via USB it shows "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" in device manager so I know my pc is recognizing it. I have used adb before with batch files like 1click root and things like that so I know its just me not knowing the right commands to get my device recognized.
Any and all help is appreciated! I just need to copy 1 file from sdcard/download to system/bin and I would assume it would boot back up with no problem!
Thanks!
do u have cwm installed?
I just installed CWM v5.5.0.4 via download mode using this method. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/skyrocket-root-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery/
So now that I am in CWM I am trying to mount things like /system and it shows an error mounting /sdcard and I get that error messaging for mounting all except mount usb storage which works great. I was however able to get the file off my phone but now how do I get the file back to system/bin?
Yes.. you can (and really should) flash CWM from download mode via your PC/laptop. A few weeks ago I did something very similar and soft-bricked my SR by renaming an in-use file (framework-res.apk)... I also only had 3e, so couldn't just restore a nandroid or flash a rom zip. Go to the Dev section and find the thread by Copperhed ("Root the ATT SGH-I727 Skyrocket..."). read through the OP and follow instruction exactly. You will be Odin3 flashing just the CWM recovery partition... this will NOT trip your flash counter. If you are already rooted, you should retain root... if not, you can root via his OP. After you have CWM recovery, there's a way you can mount the sdcard so you can transfer files between your PC and SR... then, you can put the sbin file back and see if it reboots fine... if not, with CWM installed, you can flash (via zip.. not Odin) any rom/kernel/modem zip package you want.
Even though I installed CWM from a different source I thanked you anyways DoctorQMM! Now that I have CWM installed how to I transfer the file from my pc to the system/bin directory? I have been able to mount usb storage and it show up as a drive on my pc but when I mount /system nothing shows up. What am I missing?
Thanks for all your help! I am almost there! ^_^
hey, I recommended it first . Seriously though, download a kernel from the dev section, any kernel. Open it up in winrar, winzip, etc... and delete everything except the system folder. Now take the bin file u copied to ur computer and put it in a folder called bin. Put this bin in the kernel zip inside the system folder. Now delete everything else in the system folder. Put this file on a microsd, slip it in ur phone and flash it through cwm. this will put the bin back, and allow u to reboot phone
JDub... PM cdshepherd.... he's the one who shared with me you can use the mounts and storage option in cwm (then click "mount USB storage")... then you can copy files between your sd and computer without having to do what I did (which was pull external sd out of SR, mount in micro adapter, plugged into laptop and loaded files on the sd... then put sd back in phone.. booted into CWM and flashed the rom zip I put on there). Yes.. you are close! If you can't get that one file back to sbin on root, you could try to flash a stock rom/kernel zip (KK1 or LA3)... you only need to put that rom/kernel zip on your sd or external sd so CWM will see it.
icenight89 your right you provided the inspiration so I thanked you as well and appreciate the explanation. I will perform it now and see where I get. Let me understand this correctly in steps..
1. Download a kernel, any kernel.
2. Open it up, delete everything except the system folder.
3. Create a folder named bin and put the backed up file in the bin folder.
4. Delete everything else within the system folder except the bin file and bin folder. So it should be /system/bin/xxx.file
5. Put this on a microsd card and flash it through cwm. I assume I do this by selecting "install zip from sdcard?"
Thanks for the continual help! ^_^
I am having trouble with the kernel part. I downloaded a i727 kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340114&page=2. Opened it up and it has boot.img in it. Am I missing something?
Alright. I downloaded the kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?85g701ate11zdc9. The kernel contained a folder named system and deleted everything else. I then added the folder bin and added the backed up file I deleted to the system/bin/ directory. I then mounted usb storage via CWM and put the new .zip in there. I then selected "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from internal sd card" located the zip file and selected "yes." I then get the following read outs...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
--Installing: /emmc/sgh-1727-skyrocket-att-original-kernel_2.zip

So it looks like it is not installing. Am I doing something wrong?
wrong kernel, download this one:

delete everything from in there except system folder, including boot.img, and follow instructions again, should work

download a rom from Dev section. Doesn't matter which one. Try silvers rom you'll like it. Mount USB storage in cwm. Copy rom to sd. Eject SD from computer. Go back to main menu in cwm. Wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache partition. Wipe dalvik cache(under advanced in cwm) format system under mounts and storage. Back to main menu in cwm. Install zip from sdcard. Choose zip(rom) you just placed on your SD. Flash it. Reboot device. Enjoy. And make a nandroid after it boots for the first time.

Did you make a cwm backup of rom you were using prior to this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
No, I did not make a nandroid backup. I had to install CWM from download mode and then I was able to get into CWM all without booting.
I appreciate your time in writing a solution however I am not interested in wiping everything and starting from scratch which is what your proposing. I simply deleted a file in system/bin named mediaserver so system/bin/mediaserver. When I rebooted the phone would not boot. I made a backup of the mediaserver before deleting it and placed it in the sdcard/download folder. All I need to do is copy the mediaserver file back to system/bin/ directory and phone should boot backup as if nothing ever happened. That's is how I understand it. Its just missing a file and I know what the file is and I have the file I just need to figure out how to copy it back over to where it belongs.
I do know how to install stock and other roms but after spending numerous hours on my first phone, SGS Captivate, to experience others roms like Darky's Rom the end result was that it was not worth me having to keep up with all the releases and bug fixes, loading in working kernels to make things work correctly and the like. I would rather just stick with stock. Its just a personal preference.
If anyone knows how to copy a file from my pc or from internal sdcard to my Skyrocket using Download mode or ClockWorkMod using any means but without wiping my data please let me know. Eventually if I do not get a solution I will be forced to revert back to the stock rom but I would rather leave that as a last resort.
I look forward to any other suggestions!
Thank you!
Without the ability to push/pull with adb your running out of solutions. I do hope that you get your skyrocket up and running no matter what method you use. And I do hope that someone with the ability comes along to help you. My way is prob the easy way out. If it were me ide cut my losses. Start from scratch, and try to figure out where my prob starts. Good news is there is a great community with plenty of help. Good luck mate.

Based on your first post, I don't think your pc is FULLY installed your device. Download mode requires additional drivers.........adb devices should return a serial number.
I have not tried adb on my skyrocket...I will do that for your sake and reply with my experience..
