I have a fender MyTouch 3G and tried the ICS AOSP in the G1 development section. I flashed the way the guide said to. It didn't work on my phone (no suprise since it's not made for it exactly) it got stuck in a boot-loop on the android screen but never powered down and rebooted fully just the android boot animation screen then a different boot animation screen that said android as well only a little different and then back to the first boot animation so I pulled the battery did a super wipe v2 and tried to restore I'm using clock work mod recovery. But after the restore it gave me the same error, I tried wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache still getting the error any help for a noob would be grateful. Also I was trying to restore my EzGingerbread ROM I was running just fine before.

Ok if you heve stock and second init recovery then nothing is lost. What CWM- says is totally OK. And stock recovery always unable to read /cache/recovery/command.
What firmware were you on when installed second init? You sould try to restore the nandroid of that firmware with CWM.
If you wiped your phone with stock recovery then CWM will not work then you should flash your stock sbf with RSD lite.

ok will try when I get back home and will post the results
note: im on cm7 beta 6 b4 this happened.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA Premium App

You have to go back to Nordic, via RSD Lite .
Flash the full rom, since you already flashed the whole sbf one time, you won't be worry about downgradability, it's lost.
Then wipe again, at the end the cwm should work as expected.

Just as a note after i flashed the full Nordic sbf i got stuck so i went into stock recovery and wiped data etc. This let me boot the nordic rom. Then just need to root, install 2nd init and reinstall cm7

yay! now im on cm7 and will check if the errors are still there
and btw how do I go back to 2.2.2 stock in order to install ephunord rom
edit:
custom recovery says
E:unable to read cahe/recovery/command
E:unable to read cahe/recovery/starter
then when wiping dalvik cache on cwm
when pressing wipe dalvik cache
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
then when I confirm it it says
dalvik cache wiped.
is it normal?
can't install the google apps package too downloaded many times but it always end up on bad installation or something

use the volume up/down & power button to select.

Im now on MIUI.shame...can't even try roms via nandroid backups.

Rebooting problem while in recovery

So i started by downloading the new gingeritis 3d beta 5. I rebooted into recovery, wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache. installed the rom just fine. I rebooted the phone and it just kept showing the splash screen and going black then splash again. I did a battery pull and went to bootloader then to recovery. When i try to install a different rom or do a restore the phone reboots right in the middle of the install/restore.
What do you think the problem is. Can i flash a different rom from the bootloader? is the recovery bad?
Or as a last resort do I have to flash the "Custom upgrade PG05IMG_MR1_upgrade.zip" from the "root your thunderbolt" thread in the bootloader?
Thanks

Try going back into recovery and wipe the three you've stated again, also "format /system" in mounts and storage. It could be something's not getting wiped properly and creating your problem. Then try installing a ROM. If that doesn't fix your problem then replace your recovery with the one I've attached. Copy it to the root of your SD card and install it from the bootloader. If your recovery is the problem that should fix it. Once you've done that try installing a standard ROM like one of the rooted OTA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161251

Thanks for the help and the attachment. I will try it whe n i Get home since im at work. Whenever i try to wipe anything its like im on a time limit where it will restart ofter like 30 seconds no matter what i do.

I just remembered that another person had the same problem as you and it turned out that the Micro SD card was the problem. It makes sense since your installing the ROM from the Micro SD card and then the card craps out causing the reboot. If you don't have another Micro SD card you could format the one you have and that might fix it. Of course you would lose any data on the card.

I tried the new recovery, a new sd card, still same problem. Is there something i can flash in bootloader? like the PG05IMG_MR1_Upgrade? or something else?

You could download an RUU http://dougpiston.com/ThunderBolt/R..._NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_182727_signed.zip and rename it to PG05IMG.zip. That will do a factory restore from the bootloader. You would then need to root the phone again. It's possible the memory on your phone is damaged creating the reboots, Lets hope that's not the case.

Thanks! at least that worked.

Awesome, glad you're up and running again. Remember to delete or rename the PG05IMG.zip on your SD card or next time you go into your bootloader it will try to install the restore RUU again. I've done that before.

[Q] Phone Beyond Repair? Please HELP!

Hi All,
I think my phone may be done for, but I wanted to ask all of you first. It all started when I booted up my phone, and it went into Stock GB and before I could do anything at all, everything started force closing (i.e. twlauncher, clock, 10 other things etc.) basically the entire OS and the phone would reboot and then again same problem. Sometimes it would get stuck on the ATT "Rethink Possible" screen for a while, and then immediately it would get to the Your phone is locked screen, and everything would be force closing again. I booted up into recovery mode and wiped user data and cache. Nothing. So then I decided to re load the firmware using jscott's completely stock rom. I used ODIN with PIT, PDA, and Phone and let it do its thing. PASS. Once again, phone did the SAME thing over and over. I then thought let me try either a custom ROM or rooted stock GB. I used jscott's "I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex.rar" and used ODIN. PASS. Cleared user data, cache, dalvik. Tried to boot. Still SAME problem. Then I thought maybe I could load ICS Custom ROM and fix the issue (a stretch I know, but no idea what else to do). So, I used ADB to push "Infinitum" ICS ROM to the /sdcard Booted to CWM Recovery and installed the zip. The phone rebooted with the blue android logo and then once again, got to the welcome screen and everything started force closing and the phone rebooted.
Am I just out of luck? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest formatting EVERYTHING except the boot partition on the phone and try again to stock. Something is screwed up and is causing the force closes. If you do that and it STILL does this, then there is a hardware failure that is most likely causing the issue.

When I ODIN or Heimdall into the stock, I have 3e recovery. If / When I add CWM entropy kernel then I have CWM red recovery mode.

There should be a mounts and storage menu where you can format stuff. Format EVERYTHING except the BOOT partition. IF you format boot you are screwed! Also if you have IMPORTANT info on the external or internal SD card back that up first!!!!!

Oh yes, I have done that several times already. I have mounted everything and then proceeded to format them all. It does keep telling me that sd-ext is not found... (not sure if that is normal)

CWM Install ROM SlimBean (Jelly Bean) - Successful Install - same problem exits
Problem occurs no matter how many data/factory reset wipes I do. As soon as OS boots, everything immediately starts force closing (I can see the welcome screen, but can't get to it with all the force closes on top).
Example of some of the force closes: "android.process.acore has stopped" & "com.google.process.gapps has stopped", etc.
Ran EMMC Brick Find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823918 and it went through each MB up to 16 GB and said OK.
I think that covers it all.

I'm guessing you did let it do the bootloaders on the flash? Other than that it sounds like a serious hardware issue like a failing processor.

Here are the steps I would try to bring the phone back to a working stock GB. I can only offer a Heimdall approach.
1. Take out your microSD card.
2. Boot into DL mode.
3. Flash this in heimdall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23118162&postcount=3
4. Boot into recovery.
5. In cwm: factory reset. Wipe cache. Advance: wipe dalvik. In Mount: format -system, data, cache, SDCard.
6. Power off.
7: Heimdall UCLB3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081. Read the op. Flash it once to complete. If successful, on the PC screen, click the boot loader flash and wait for the phone to complete booting up. After the phone finishes, go to /Settings/Privacy: factory reset and wipe SDCard again. Put it back into DL mode
8. Flash the UCLB3 Heimdall again, with the BootLoader box checked.
9. Once complete, let the phone boot up and run it as stock without the microSD card.
It should run as stock uclb3 - factory new. Go through the set up - do not accept GOGGLE BACKUP for now.
If the phone process continues to crash, you are sol.
gl..
ps..you can always sell the screen..it's worth at least $75-to another user with a broken screen.

Not sure if this will help figure out anything, but if someone is really good at looking at a logcat file, I am attaching one that I obtained from ADB from when the phone started to boot at the ATT Rethink Possibilities Screen all the way through the constant unending force closes of everything as soon as the OS loads.
Thanks again for anyone willing to look this over.

Just a guess and I may be wrong but I looked briefly through the beginning of your logcat. The stock gb kernel should not be looking for /etc/init.d and there were some items listed for voodoo and lagfix and some mentioning of entropy. Is your OS messing up when you are trying to run Entropy's DD kernel?
If you are running a diagnostic with complete stock to make sure the phone and firmware is using complete stock and rfs file system, these items should not be a part of your logcat...
The only suggestion I have is wipe the sdcard and voodoo folder and try a complete re-partition and boot loader flash.

This actually isn't with stock. This is with the Entropy DD kernel. I followed your earlier thread to go back to complete stock and same error. I needed CWM to do other things, so I installed the Entropy DD, but same errors. I just happened to dump the logcat during that run.
As far as your suggestion, I believe that is what was already happening with your earlier post? As for RFS file system, does your Heimdal One Click do that already? If not, what do I need to do to create that specific FS? I think it might actually be Fat32 and EXT4? Thanks!

Heya,
Did you ever have any luck with this issue? I've a phone with similar issues.
Odin to stock - force closes and/or boot loops
Heimdall to stock - force closes and/or boot loops
Install various roms through CWM - force closes and/or boot loops
(I followed all directions to the letter, multiple times)
the last attempt lead me through a series of odins/heimdalls/roms ... basically following a path to install the latest CM10, during which sometimes a rom would seem to be stable before I moved on to the next and other roms would bootloop / fc right off the bat ..
once on CM10, though, it was stable... I was able to install apps from the market, play with settings, etc .... I did experience a 2 or 3 random reboots though in the process and ultimately, when I put my sim card and sdcard in, it was stuck in a boot loop
It doesn't appear that I'm experiencing a power button failure like other people are having ... only reason I mentioned it is because of the random reboots

[Q] Trouble Flashing ROM

Got to the point in the How-to guide that says "Navigate to ‘wipe data/factory reset’ and select it.
Navigate to the ‘yes -- delete all user data’ and select it."
Trouble is I get "E: format volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" and "Formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure..." and a non-functioning progress bar at the bottom.
Is this a battery pull, power off, reboot into recovery? Phone has been stuck like this for more than 30 minutes.
Edit:
Ok, after an hour I powered off and back on, seems like I have a brand new SK stock ROM again >.<

Tried again, same exact thing on wipe data/factory reset: "E: format volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2."
Do I need to flash the kernel like on this video? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W33fcnWAgQg) If so, I'm not sure which kernel to use. I was hoping to flash to the JB ROM which says it contains Bali kernel.
This is no longer fun and all of my data is wiped. LOL even the Play Store is now Android Market like way back when and won't update!

Got to the point in the How-to guide that says "Navigate to ‘wipe data/factory reset’ and select it.
Navigate to the ‘yes -- delete all user data’ and select it."
Trouble is I get "E: format volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" and "Formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure..." and a non-functioning progress bar at the bottom.
Is this a battery pull, power off, reboot into recovery? Phone has been stuck like this for more than 30 minutes.
Edit:
Ok, after an hour I powered off and back on, seems like I have a brand new SK stock ROM again >.<

Also, when flashing a custom ROM, use this CWM file in the root of your SD card (called update.zip)

AWESOME. Thank you very much for the help, flashed and running neXus JB 1.3.2.
One more question if you don't mind:
* Do I need to flash the CWM you linked every time I want to flash a custom ROM, or once it's done that it?

Once you have CWM on your phone, you don't need to run the update.zip file every you want to flash a ROM. That's it unless you go back to stock via Odin or Heimdall.
