Hi,
Today during a call my Inspire 4G froze with no apparent reason. I rebooted and I always had freezes, so I decided to do a factory reset.
I'm rooted and have Virtuous Unity 1.24 installed (never upgraded because it had been working fine).
When I try to format /data it hangs for a while and I get an error saying "error formatting data".
I'm just downloading latest version of the ROM hoping this way it'll get fixed.
Just before messing more with the phone, has anyone had this experience with the Inspire 4G?
Regards
Try doing a full wipe/factory reset in recovery, if same error, your sd card could be trashed. There's a recall on some newer sd cards that came with inspire. Google it.

Well,
Now it won't even reboot into recovery. I only can boot into HTC white screen, but clockwork died, seven vibrations when I try to go into recovery.
Now I'm trapped, tried installing PD98IMG.zip that comes with the rooting files, seems to install well but doesn't work.
Any other suggestions before I assume my Inspire died?
Take out your SD card. Then trybooting Into recovery. Once in recovery you can insert SD card. Wipe and flash. I saw that this worked for a couple of people in another thread somewhere
no hay de queso no mas de papa
No luck, just 7 vibrations when I go into recovery, with and without SD card, even tried without SIM card which should not have anything to do...
I had the same error with motorola atrix. I have flashed the firmware again to resolve this issue

Maybe try a different pd98 or maybe the ruu.

Tried with the RUU but it cannot detect the phone, will see if I can do something else, just strange thing, never had this kind of issue with any Android Phone...
Is there a way to extract the PD86IMG.zip file from the RUU?
Well, after alot of trying out, I'm pretty sure the device is hard-bricked due to some HW problem, will still do some attempts to recover the phone, but it is strange:
1. It worked great a few days ago, I installed no updates, radios or anything other than Market apps.
2. In the last days, I've had some random hangs on the phone, just pulled battery and rebooted.
3. Today it hanged during a phone call, pulled battery and every time I rebooted it would just hang again.
4. Went into CWM Recovery, was able to ADB and everything, but any attempt to format /data or /cache would cause an error.
5. After playing around with CWM, suddenly I wasn't able to see the menus anymore, when I rebooted, any attempt to go into recovery from the HBOOT screen would result in seven short vibrations, a wile after that screen would go black.
6. Downloaded various PD86IMG.zip files, all of them install and give no errors, but the phone always keeps sending those 7 vibrations when trying to boot or go into recovery. HBOOT screen still works, any PD86IMG.zip file apparently installs fine (no errors), but when I reboot it is dead.
I am thinking that something bad happened to the internal storage, the symptoms show in that direction and I can't find any post that seems a bit related to this issue. This might be my 6th or 7th Android phone and I often root other phones for friends, in fact I have rooted 4 or 5 Inspires and have had no issues.
I just want to see if there's anything else I can do...
Thanks and regards...
Have seen the 7 vibrate occurrance mentioned a few times. It is hardware related and there is not much you can do about it. Sounds like the solder connections between the processor and the motherboard are separating. By chance has the phone been real hot in the recent past?
Real hot not, but I dropped it once a few weeks ago, I was really surprised that nothing broke, it was not a nice drop...
Well, will see how much I get for the phone listing it as "for parts"...
hey anyone please help me.i tried to root my phone with DoomLords easy toolkit.but my handsets internal memory was full.after running the runme file everything was working.but at last it showed pushing superuser.apk failed out of memory.then my handset was restarted but everytime it shows htc logo and played the sound then stay there for some moments then again restarted.now what i need to do?please help.:crying:
sorry for my bad english.
No free memory to boot. Do you have CWM? If so, then reset to factory data = wipe everything.
Does anyone have a CWM backup for GSll? I keep getting stuck on formatting cache, I cannot flash any ROM, USB isn't recognized. I think that if I use a backup, that I could get my phone working again. My cousin used my phone for a little over a month and erased everything off my phone and SD card. I didn't have it backed up on my computer, like an idiot, and I need some HELP PLEASE...
Moved to General Q&A.
Hey everyone, I have a droid charge that has been bricked for a while now. Here's how it went. I was just sitting on teh couch one day and I felt my charge getting reallly hot in my pocket, and when i took it out, it was stuck at the samsung screen. Before that, I had been having a few random restarts, but after that point, the phone never booted again. I have treid flashing everything. I have tried different roms, and odin'ed like everything. Every time, it is the same thing. It would just boot to stock. After leaving it on my desk for around 4 months without ever touching it, now the phone boots to the droid eye animation and then just bootloops there. Sometimes it has audio, other times it does not. I have looked at countless threads and the only answer I can find is that my internal emmc is damaged. When I use adb in recovery, there are 3 partitions listed as there should be, but the format of the last partition is blank. When I try to use parted to format it, the only thing I get is an I/O error. Now I have accepted that the internal memory is corrupted. Is there any way that I can map an external sd card to the internal memory so that I can install a rom on the sd card and boot off of there instead? If not, can the unbrickable mod help me in any way?
Thanks
Sometimes the phone will "reset" at random times. It does not reboot or show the logo or splash screen. It typically starts by the brightness going all the way up, then it just unmounts/remounts my sd card, reads internal and external storage, and will unmount then remount my sim card (I lose signal completely then get signal back). It does it for no reason sometimes a few times in a row. It's acting like I've reset it, but I am not doing anything at all to it.
I have unlocked it so I can use it on T Mobile. I've upgraded the android version to 2.3.6. It is not rooted.
Please help me fix this problem as I like the phone but this problem is really making me angry.
Help please! :victory:
You could try installing a custom ROM and see if that helps.

sounds like there could be some residual on your sdcard. back up your photos and docs.
do a complete reset and complete wipe a few times or odin or heimdall to complete gb stock and reset
unlocked or tmobile shouldn't be an issue. neither should root or no root
if you're trying to determine hardware or software function, complete stock is the best testing ground
