So i tried to flash the latest evervolv jb rom. Didn't boot,oh well.
Went to recovery to restore, error while restoring system, hmmm, never seen that b4.
So went to usb mass storage and downloaded roms 3 times they all say bad , of course they're not all bad.
I am using CW-enhanced recovery v1.1b but have been for a couple weeks not sure if that has anything to do with the problem or not.

Are you Downloading over WiFi , Hardline , or the Network? Are you making sure to check the MD5 Checksum before trying to flash? Did you Restoring a different Rom? I don't think it's the Recovery, as I am currently using Dreads Recovery on several devices with no issues. Has your SD Card been giving you any issues?
I've had this issue when I ran out of space on my SD card (using Dread's Recovery). Probably never did a complete backup but I didn't really pay attention and when I tried to restore it errored out... Perhaps reboot into bootloader and then back into recovery. Then try a different backup (I occasionally save copies of nands on my pc) or a different ROM. Good luck!

only have one backup n it's not working, none on pc.
dloading using the pc. tried 3 different roms, can't open blah blah it says. bad.
ok tried another the 5th i think not gonna work.

Ok. Stop and take a brake. Come back and read the instructions on flashing ROMs in prboy1969's sig again. I've found that when I encounter probs I get more and more impatient and thats when I start overlooking things.

how can i get cmod 5.0.2.0 back on here
i reformatted then tried to run a rom no go

Now when i reboot it takes about 3 minutes to make it through the hboot screen. the blue indicator on the right loads in small chunks.

i reformatted earlier.
stuck a rom on there same problem.
so hooked it up to pc again and let windows check the sd card for errors. no problems found.
then i connected to the pc using usb storage again and all my files are like they were BEFORE i reformatted an hour or so ago.

Hey, everyone. How's it going? I have been running Gingervitis 1.1 (?) and last night I went to uninstall an app that I had installed from the market. My phone froze up and is worthless at the moment. I can boot up, but I cant do anything. I see my wallpaper and the taskbar (even it is a little off), but that is it. If I hold power and volume down while booting it goes to the menu, but it automatically chooses to update the radio. I can't choose to do anything else. Wtf? Can I fix this?
Also, the phone will ring, but I can't do anything about that either.
I appreciate any help.
Hmm not sure I can be much help but you could try and get into recovery from there, rename a file say maybe a Rom to PG05IMG so when in hboot it tries to load it? hey just trying to help here and not sure it gonna work but could try a couple more ideas until someone smarter pops in. Sure your not bricked though.
If you can get into hboot you're not bricked. It sounds like you have a PG5... file still on your sd card. Take it out of the phone and load into your computer to delete that file. Put the card back in and you should now be able to select recovery in the hboot menu.

last i checked, a brick just sat there. so if your phone does more than set there, no it's not. it can probably be fixed. good luck.
power down your phone, take out your sd card and insert it into a computer. delete the pg#### file from the root of your sdcard. insert card in to phone, power back up.
try taking out your SD card and connecting it to computer, rename the PG05img to something else. then you should be able to hboot and get into recovery
Awesome. I'll go buy a card reader and see what I can do. I will post back in a bit.

After your able to get back into recovery. Try to run logcat from adb and see where it errors out after you reboot. If you can determine the broken app, you can uninstall it from adb. If not just reinstall the Rom from recovery. If all fails wipe and install clean. Good luck

ok, so a few days ago i was flashing the G2x weapon rom onto my rooted G2x, but while i was in the clockwork mod to flash it it froze on me, i left it like that for an hour or so, but it didnt work, so i took the battery out. now whenever i turn it on, it loads the LG screen, then nothing, the screen stays turned on, but its black, ive tried to boot it into recovery mode but that does not work either. What should i do?
Did you do One-Click NVFlash>? if u used Rom Manager you probably fake flashed and thats why its not working for you. You should use NVflash followt he steps and boot up into recover and restore a back up. GOod Luck

Since changing to Nvflash, did you download the rom you want to install and transfer it to the phone from your computer. Using Rom Manager it may not have left a copy on your phone.
If you cant hook up the SD card to the computer, get an external SD card and make sure u've installed clockwordmod with external sd, hook it up to a laptop with an SD card slot, and put it in , then take the mini sd and pop it in your phone, then boot up and that should do it good luck! atleast now your 1 step closer to recovering your phone
Ughh hate,seeing this happen...hope u flashed nV..all the best

Hope you didn't brick your phone.
No you did not brick your phone. Rom manager downloads the file to sdcard/clockworkmod/downloads. Look there for the file. Only if you download a rom from your browser does it go to externalsdcard/downloads

Nope, it's CM7.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling LG Drivers, and that didn't work either. I tried another PC as well, and it also failed to recognize the device.
Not sure if this means anything but when I go into CWM on my phone, I can't choose any of the options, it just goes to the icon and does nothing until I battery pull.
Is there any way I can format the SD while it's in my phone, or will that screw things up, like my ROM, ect.
You can reformat the sd card while on cwm but it's gonna clear ur sd. It's gonna erase everything on it. Your rom will be fine

Alright, I'll try that, I don't have anything on it besides music and my zip files. I put the micro SD in a regular SD adapter and it works fine on my PC, it's something about when the card is in my actual phone.

I know you might not want to hear this, but it might be your SD card...
Those things don't last forever and errors on them can sometimes be tricky to diagnose because bad sectors can sometimes still be read even if they are bad.
My suggestion, if your PC can still read the card then you should start by backing everything up. Then, try using another SD card in the phone. If the phone can read that, then there might be something wrong with the first card. You can also try using the phone to reformat the problem card.
Try to debug in a way that determines if maybe the card is the problem. Just the other day I had a 32 gig card go bad on me. It happened when my phone fell and came out of it's case. After that the card didn't work anymore. I remembered seeing "shock proof" on sandisk's descriptions, but I always thought it was a marketting thing. Maybe it wasn't. There's also a possibility that my card simply failed before I dropped the phone, and the reboot caused the system to remount the card and finally see the problem.
Either way, it went bad and I lost my stuff. A cautionary tale.
I am following this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/22/root-samsung-galaxy-s-4g/
When it gets to the part saying it is updating the firmware in Kies, it keeps failing. I have done a few factory resets but I just can't get past this. I know I need to be on GB so I can easily get root and install CWM. Is there a way to install GB via ODIN so I can get this thing rooted+recovery?
EDIT-
And after this last attempt, it decided to work. lol. Well, it was probably cause I re-installed the Samsung drivers on the same page I downloaded Kies mini.

I guess that link to the guide was misleading. I am not using Heimdall either. I got root using the super one click in that guide, and then used SGS kernel flasher to flash kernel+CWM. Then when I went to CWM it wont mount SD card so I can't do a backup or flash a new ROM.
EDIT:
I think that part of the problem is CWM wants to mount /sdcard (as it should) but my sdcard is showing up as /mnt/sdcard so how can I fix this?
What do you mean it won't mount? If you go to backup it gives you that error? What version of CWM is it?
Never had that problem before... can I be one of those tech support people and ask if you are sure that you SD card is in. And have you tried putting the desired ROM on the internal phone storage

Don't know what ROM I want to use yet. I was hoping to find a good JB rom, but looks like there is no wifi on them yet. Any good ICS roms available?
EDIT:
And yes, the sd card was installed. I was able to access it when I would let the phone boot into android, then it was at /mnt/sdcard but /sdcard was showing the voodoo folder.
Right now I have the red text CWM after flashing with ODIN. Gonna try a backup and then go flash a different kernel.
EDIT:
Ok, right after the ODIN flash I am still unable to access the SD card in CWM. Maybe I have a bad SD card. I will try another.
EDIT:
Ok, so this is a SD card problem. I stuck in a blank 1GB SD card and had android format it. Then I put the kernel I wanted on it and rebooted into recovery, I was then able to access the SD Card and run a backup. I will backup my original SD card and then stick it in the phone to have it formatted, and hopefully I will be good to go after that.
OH, and still wondering what a good stable ICS rom might be, or whatever are good stable/fast.
Thanks.
Beastmode's CM9 seemed to work great for me. I am running his slim bean 4.1.2 which has WiFi but not GPS or camcorder.

There's supposed to be a redirect from /sdcard to /mnt/sdcard that I've noticed when using several apps like Ghost Commander. Your main choices are either to make it yourself or to backup and reformat your SD card, especially if other SD cards work fine...
Well, I decided to go with Valahalla BlackEdition since I need a rom where everything works, and this one looks like all the bugs are worked out.
Thanks for all the help here guys!
