Hello all
i updated to the 3.24 firmware, and since then i only get untill the splash screen then it restarts again!
what can i do now? i can't restore the old firmware because each time i go to recovery it asks if i want to update firmware (because the new firmware file is still in sd card).
any ideas?
best regards!
Remove the firmware from your SD card and pull out the battery. When you delete the PG58IMG from you SD card, put in back in your phone and also your battery.
Then you turn on the phone into recovery mode and install the rom.

^^This^^ or use adb tools and type 'adb reboot recovery', use your recovery to mount your sd card, and delete pg58img.zip file from your computer. Have to get the command in right when your computer detects your phone.
thanks for the quick reply

can you get into bootloader? if you can then go into recovery from bootloader
Or you could take out the sd card, boot up, and then put the card back in and then remove the file. I had to do that the first time I flashed because I didn't have a micro SD adapter with me

Hi,
I partitioned my sd card by this software - MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
to 2 partitions: EXT3 -1GB and FAT32 - 7GB.
(SD card of 8 GB)
now, my HTC Desire doesnt upload and stuck on the screen of my rom.
i tried to upload it with no sd card ad it stuck on the HTC screen.
i cant format the sd card by the recovery.
HELP!!
have you tried using super wipe?
it should fix the partitions and if not that have you tried putting it into a computer and formatting it there?

instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9126707&postcount=1
thnx for the fast commet.
but how can i upload this zip into the sd-card?
in recovery mode usb toggle drop it in the sd and flash....
follow the instructions though
or hook it up to the laptop like the normal and copy and paste either one
but i cant load files into the sd card by the computer..
it pluged it to the computer, but its only charge - i cant load files on the sd.
is that with or without an sd adapter?

because i had that problem once...well without the getting stuck screen...what about your nandroids though?

do you have an sdcard reader so you can try useing the card on the computer without the phone if not try taking the card out then going into recovery putting the card back in and then go into recovery again and try to format that worked once for me
ok have you tried formatting on the computer instead of the memory card?
also a friend of mine should be coming on to help in a lil but try to format on the computer...
if not turn off then take out sd card and try again
i've no sdcard reader, ill buy it tomorrow.
ive tried to format sd card in the recovery with no sd card, and than with sd card and it didnt work.
theres another way?
thnx very much to both of you!
hopefully that works man
thnx very much!
theres no another way to format it? by adb or something?
but how can i use adb? when i tried to install the Desire's Drivers its not working.
can i use it ?

i think you can format in adb but i have avoided learning adb sorry also if when you format it on the pc that me show that maybe your recovery is messed up could be if iam not wrong
ok i can use adb while the phone plug.
what i should write to format the sd card?
someone knows the command to format the sd card by ADB?
plizz
so your good now right?
I previously had bricked my Xoom and was able to get it back to stock (with help from the forum). I then rooted it and was going to try flash BRD's Kernal, 3.1 update, bootloader, ect. I DL'd the files and saved them to my SD card. Popped the SD card in. Rebooted into Clockword and could not see my external SD to flash from. I went into the advanced setting in CWM and checked to see if the SD card was mounted... It wasn't. I don't even have the mount/unmount SD option anymore.
I went to the forums and kept getting looped back to the Clockwork Mod 3.2.0.0 thread. Is there a way to push this file through ADB? I'm new to ADB so I don't know if it's even possible. If so which file? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just to add to the post, I can't see the external card anywhere. Not in the file manager or on my PC, via USB. I've formatted the SD card in my Droid 2 and my PC. That's all that I can think of to add to this.
You can push the recovery in fastboot. Make sure your CWM is version 3, not the version 4. Get it from the forums, in fact the link in my sig for all 20 stock images has everything you need.

if you loaded 4.0.0.4 already and if you have rom manager you can scroll to the bottom and choose "All ClockworkMode Recoveries" and choose 3.0.2.5, then go to thread i linked and flash that..
Thats how far my knowledge goes
Hope it helps
I've copied Turkawa's post as an alternative to pushing files through adb. If you go the adb route you need to download all of the necessary files on your computer. Also make sure to only flash the image file (.img) not a zip file through adb.
Good luck!

If you can't see your SD card anywhere that is problem number one. If you have a SD card in your droid2, put it in the xoom while it is powered off and boot into clockwork. If you can read the card you have narrowed your problem to the card itself. Try using Panasonic SD formatter (Google for the free app) to format the card and try again.
So I can't reboot into recovery because I accidentally kept a PD98IMG on my SD card, therefore it prompts for an update each time and I am stuck in a boot loop with my phone. Any suggestions on how I can fix this situation?
- Remove SD card from phone
- connect it to a PC
- Remove *.img
- Return SD card to phone

Problems with that: 1) I have a Mac. 2) I don't have an SD card adapter.
Remove the SDcard and boot into hboot, then select recovery. Plug the card in after selecting recovery.

Edit: gene beat me to it.
Pull the SD card out of the phone.
Boot into hboot
It will search and not find the SD card/PD98IMG.zip, then you can choose recovery and put the SD card back in.
I removed mine by plugging it into the comp as a harddrive then clicking through my computer.
I have windows, so it could be different for a mac.
also, MAC or PC, it doesnt matter, you can still put it in if you have an sd card adapter/reader.

Hee hee ahhh the memories a few weeks ago of running to the Radio Shack right before close to obtain an SD card reader. I will not leave a PD98IMG file on the root of my SD card again once I am done with it. I didn't know about the pull the card trick, and my computer would not read my phone as a valid drive during the event. I knew what I had to do though...GET THAT EFFIN FILE OFF MY EFFIN SD CARD ROOT...
I keep a copy on my card for emergencies... just rename it.

Yes. This. Or, as I do, keep the PD98IMG file in a sub directory. I made one just for the radio file. I call it "radio file"...rimshot/symboll crash....

I placed a PG58IMG file on my SD card to update firmware and it installed fine, but when I attempt a reboot, I get a bootloop. I cannot access Recovery as it goes straight to the PG58IMG update.
Any sugggestions!?!?
Hi take out your SD card and then you can enter. But nothing solved after that, we are currently talking about this thread here:

take out your sd card after the FW is flashed....put your sd card into a pc and delete the PG58IMG file, put the SD card back... boot into bootloader( Power button + VOL DOWN), and then into recovery...flash the ROM(it should be in the SD card)
Thank you everyone that replied thread may be closed?
I fixed i with your suggestions.

hurrmm...now i can go to ext4 recovery & flash stock or custom rom but the problem is after reboot i stuck at bootloop..:'-( any idea how to fix this?
I backed up my storage and formatted storage from CWM to clean things up. When I went to mount USB storage to transfer zips of the ROM I want to use my computer doesn't see it. I tried with the SD card formatted as vfat and exfat. I'm fully rooted and all that. All firmwares are the latest version.
Can I get the two easiest options for putting a ROM back on here so I can use my darn phone? I'm not comfortable with adb. Thanks!
you can use another phone to put the rom on thru the sd card. and then put the sd card back on your phone and re flash it

Thanks for the reply. Not today I can't. I'm searching as I find time but it's a busy day today and going without my phone is like running going without pants.
