Ok so I'm relatively new at trying to root and hack phones as well as adding custom roms. I searched all over the forums but could barely find anything related to my problem, and if I'm wrong i do apologize for re-posting. Anyways I rooted the phone using superoneclick and it all went fine. So i then decided to try and install a custom called CyanogenMod 9 onto the phone with Rom Manager. I'm guessing I did not do an extremely important step and now i fear my phone is bricked. I put the ROM into the root of the SD card, went into ROM manager, and trid installing the ROM. It all failed and now my phone is stuck on the same screen on the bootup where it keeps restarting itself telling me Failed installation factory reset failed and it restarts factory reset. The phone is from T-mobile and its a Mytouch Q. Any help would be very wonderful!

Hi, Are you able to get into the CWM menu? If so, Do a "Factory reset" clearing all data. Then clear the /cache partition and the davlik cache in the "advanced" menu. Then flash the rom again. If that doesnt work try clearing everything again and installing the default android 2.3.6 LG rom and take off again from there. My end advice? Dont flash this phone, its a peice of absolute crap

Thanks worked like a charm . Wasn't able to get into CWM but I did get to install the default. This phon ebeing so bad is exactly why i wanted to try and see if flashing it would make it better haha
This is my first post, so If i did so in an incorrect way i apologize. I have been looking for hours and cannot find a specific fix for my issue. I am at a loss and pretty desperate for help. I have BROKE my phone and cannot seem to do anything to fix it.
First my phone had been running successfuly for a cpl months on a CM10 nightly rom came up and it came up and said No sim card. I read the forums and thought that by installing a different rom i could fix it. When i went to install AOKP JB build 4 through TWRP recovery. I mounted my drive through USB and windows said it had to be formatted (ie it was corrupted). I did so and loaded the zip file over
I went to install the zip and did the normal process and flashed the boot.img but upon reboot got suck on the unicorn initiating swagger screen. Looked at the forums and found that this was due to needing to factory reset. The problem is that I tried to factory reset and TWRP says I have no factory reset and am not able to do so
I am currently stuck. I had to reformat my sd again and I have no rom installed. I have a slab of hardware with nothing working. I am beyond my capabilities and have no clue how to fix this. Please help.
don't factory reset in bootloader it will corrupt your sdcard. try formatting it in windows. or try this method [How to] Fix corrupt/unmountable internal storage on the HTC One X/XL
I had a similar problem trying to update the Jellybam rom with the wrong boot.img.
I had no access to the sd and the sim card. I solved my problems by flashing a new recovery then fixing the partition and installing a sense based rom and my sim card started working again.

have you tried RUU'ing at all yet?
Hello, I am in a bit of a jam and am trying to find the best way out.
My device is encrypted using the native Android feature. I have Lean Kernel and CleanROM on the device. So it is rooted/unlocked. I was trying to clean the device further by uninstalling some useless apps with Titanium Backup. Turns out I messed up on something..
When the phone boots to the encrypted device screen, the keyboard doesn't show up! I am not able to get into the phone to do anything!
I have the latest CWM recovery installed. I tried a factory reset and such, but it says it fails to mount the internal SD card. /:
Anyone know how I can fix this and flash a new CleanROM? Data wiping is not a problem for me, but CWM refuses to mount the SD card to do it..
Any advice? I am relatively new to the Android scene, so try not to make things too complicated.
Odin?

This probably wouldn't work, but have you tried reflashing with Odin?

I am looking at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436
I am downloading the very first package. Since that seems to wipe everything, which is what I want at this point.
Will flashing that work?
I'm not sure if it will work, as I don't encrypt my device. What it will do is wipe your system, data, etc. partitions, but it won't touch your internal SD. This will probably be fine; it will install a keyboard and you should be able to enter your password, that is, if it can flash the ROM properly.

I'm still trying to understand how Android storage works, so I may sound like a noob here haha..
All I have is an internal SD card. I don't have an external one or anything. Are system, data located on another internal flash chip or something? If they are on the internal SD, I would imagine everything would be formatted and reset once this is flashed.
Sorry, I read the linked post wrong...So this will wipe everything, system, data, and internal SD.
As for the difference, the system and data are different partitions than the internal SD.. so normally when you factory reset in CWM, it just wipes the data, not your internal SD or system. What this means is that it won't touch some files, like ones you download from the internet, but it will get rid of all of your apps and appdata, as you know, and these are stored in the data partition.
I got it sorted. Thanks for the help.
Glad I could help!

Just wanna say this thread was a lifesaver, and I'll just leave my experience here for fellow noobs, like myself, stumbling into this issue.
I CMod'd my S3 with Clockwork (following very detailed instructions) and tried out encryption (knowing ahead of time that a factory reset would be in order if I didn't like it). As you all know Clockwork has trouble mounting the encrypted /sdcard/ directory, and won't do the factory reset. I was afraid that since Clockwork couldn't deal with the encrypted data, so too might Odin, leading to the risk of bricking. This thread gave me enough courage to give it a go. Following the above linked instructions solved the problem. Odin had no problem wiping and writing over the encrypted data. after I was back to stock I ran through installing Clockwork and CMod again. And just like that, the problem's fixed.
Thanks a bunch everyone!
EDIT:
I just got a response on twitter from a friend who ran into the same issue with clockwork. According to him, apparently TWRP doesn't have this flaw. My phone's working now and I don't want to monkey around with it anymore, but maybe a more experienced user out there could comment on/confirm this, and maybe add the info to the tutorials (if it's correct).
Thanks again!

Yeah, I was worried I might have created a $200 paper-weight!
I'm glad that my question ended up helping you as well!:good:
Hi guys!
As the title suggests, I've accidentally transformed my phone (GT-N7105) into a tablet after formatting all of the partitions I could format in CWM (/cache, /data, /firmware, /system - everything!)
It was working perfectly right up until I formatted everything.
I've spent days trying to fix it.
First thing I tried was factory resetting the phone, then flashing modem and factory resetting again. No luck.
So I flashed stock Android 4.4.2 (OPS) factory reset the phone and hoped. No luck.
Flashed stock GT-N7105 firmware. No luck.
In between these steps, all kinds of strange tricks people on the internet recommended. No luck.
I've looked in the settings and there is definitely a valid IMEI; and on stock I can even see signal strength - it just cannot and will not detect the SIM. Does anyone know what my phone could be missing?!
Alternatively, is there a way to make an image of my SIM card on another phone and then emulate it on the GT-N7105?
Thanks,
~Chris

Hey everyone,
I dropped my trusty G2 and decided to get a cheap G3 as a replacement.
After successfully flashing LOS I noticed the sim card doesn't get recognized.
Tried rebooting, reflashing, flashing an older nightly, nothing worked so far
I've read a thread about reflashing the radio firmware only, but that didn't seem to do anything for me

Several times I found that errors of that kind were fixed after flashing back the stock ROM and then flashing the custom ROM again, maybe it is worth a try, especially if the SIM card is working for the rest of the users of the custom ROM.
If you have made a nandroid backup via TWRP of the stock ROM (which always is recommended to have), simply flash back your backup of stock ROM via TWRP. If not, then have a look at this thread or simply google for other threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3054303
Two things I would try.
1:Take SD card out and format it on a Computer/PC.I use the free Minitool Partition Wizard for this,
https://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
But be careful and make sure you are on the right drive as you don't want to wipe the Computer hard drives.
2;Do a,"Factory Reset" after wiping the Dalvik cache and the Disk Cache.
