Yes i have posted this in the Topaz forum and got no replies so i thought i may get more answers here
Im not new to flashing, upgrading, modifying my phone
I have searched prior to posting my problem.
Heres whats wrong, basically my phone is stuck on the boot screen after flashing NhatHoa 7.0..I have the latest HARDSPL on the device, connecting the device to the USB cable does nothing, no light to indicate charging nor no connection to active sync.
So i tried to flash from SD card, formatted my 8Gb card, renamed custom rom to TOPAIMG.nbh, went into bootloader, followed the on screen instructions and still nothing (like it doesnt even recognize the SD Card)
I then tried a 2Gb SD Card, formatted using FAT32, copied the nbh over, did exactly as above, again nothing.
I have searched, tried many of things which should work but nothing.
I cant have bricked my device because i can still enter boot loader and see the boot screen, but thats it.
Any Ideas??
Regards, Wez
edit
Ok so i just bought a 1Gb SD Card and still it doesnt read the card, im officially clueless now as to what i can do..i have formatted the card in every possible way NTFS, FAT, FAT32, even changed the allocation size which again did nothing.
I also downloaded a rom were it was already name TOPAIMG.nbh just incase there was something in the file attributes which were different and again nothing.
IF anybody has any solutions please, let me know.
Update
If this is important or usefull the device does charge when switched off, i can enter bootloader and i can switch the phone on in which it gets stuck on the 'Touch Diamond 2' screen
I search this form but haven’t been able to find a solution to my problem; I’m hoping some has already experienced this problem. I have flashed several roms on my previous phone but this was my first attempt in rooting my Inspire and flashed a new rom. I used the ACE Hack kit to root the phone. Then used the CWM-RECOVERY-APP to wipe the phone then installed Coredroid (all from the SD card).
I’m stuck in bootloader / clockworkmod, and can’t reboot my phone.
Any suggesting would be greatly appreciated.

You should still be able to boot into recovery mode Power off your phone wait like 10sec after powering off. Then its VOL down & Power at the same time still holding down the vol down it should boot into recovery with in 5sec or so. Once your into recovery I want to say select mounts and mount USB storage. Once you do so you would be able to access your SD CARD and remove what it is most likely you have the PD98IM.ZIP still on your sd card. IF not I would say re D|L what ever rom you have and reflash..hope this helps
Is it possible to use the ACE Hack kit to flash the stock RUU to fix this problem?
Thanks

its cool dude..just remember that you can still always boot into recovery mode with that step that I stated above I had to go that route a once or twice before cause of a bad d|l.. but Im sure you know once you get everything all working and installed with whatever ROM you chose make sure you do a ROM back up with rom manager back up options..never know when you may need it lol
Never been rooted. My phone froze so I took out the battery and when I turned it back on, the phone was stuck on the boot logo. I've entered into the hboot menu by holding down the down volume key + power. I selected "Factory Reset " but it does nothing. I also tried selecting "Recovery Mode", which makes some green arrows appear, then the phone vibrates about 6 times in a row and goes blank.
Can I load a ROM or something to save the phone?
I also tried removing the SD card when booting, plugging the phone into the PC, etc. Nothing.
Running Gingerbread 2.3.4
I've never rooted or anything but I can follow directions if there's a way. Thanks a lot for reading.
Oh, and when I plug the phone into the computer, it appears to create a drive letter in My Computer, but when I click the drive, it doesn't open.
Should I just warranty out this phone or is there any hope? thanks.
confirm your sd card is good first.
flash your phone with the rom you like.
I think it will be ok after you flash it.

Goto the glacier forum. Download the factory img file found in the rooting topics. Boot into recovery and let it flash completely. Should be good.
Or... U have a bad emmc and it is toastito's...
How do I flash the phone once I boot into recovery? do I drag and drop the IMG file somewhere on the SD card?
Sorry for the noobness.
When I plug the phone into the PC, a drive letter appears in My Computer - but nothing happens when I click it. Once I put it in recovery, the drive letter disappears.
How would I go about flashing if I don't have access to the files on the SD card?
Okay I got access to my SD card by plugging my SD card into a different phone then the computer.
There is no root folder available when doing it this way - so where would I install the flash file to?
**** never mind, I get what they mean by root...sorry, I'm retarded *****
I think I got it, I'll give this a try.
Okay. All it does is in Hboot, it checks and loads PDIMG15.ZIP, but then it just takes me back to the Hboot menu and the phone is still stuck on the boot screen.
it says...
"SD Checking PD15IMM.ZIP
No image or wrong image!"
Then reverts back to Hboot menu. Tryed formatting the SD card. Will try a different SD card next.
Different 8gb SD card = same results. No image or wrong image.
Appreciate it if anyone has a fix on this.
If anyone else is having this issue, I found a solution:
Go to T-Mobile and buy a SG2.
Problem solved.
This is supposed to a big Android site? thanks for nothing, guys!
I ended up just getting a new phone. Appreciate no one helping. Awesome awesome.

Actually you are in the general section question and answers. There is an Android Section Questions and Answers, and better than that...wait for it...A MYTOUCH 4G QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!!! Imagine that!! Im quite sure you would have gotten the answers you needed had you done a little searching and posted in the correct spot. Good luck with your new phone!
Maybe someone could of directed me there sooner? This site is confusing if it's your first time.
I know this is free...just saying. My post got a lot of views but almost no response.
Whatever. It's all good...thanks for replying.

There is a search bar ...there is forums..... each forum sorted out bu the phone you have each of those forums having subforums to "general Q&a development" and so on.... my question is if you didnt have it rooted why not just take it to the store directly??? Problems like that will asure new a new phone regardless....
Just my 2 cents
oh and this is an amazing site....
rooted 100's of phones with out ever joining and ive finally joined
....crazy how the search bar takes you long ways
This is my first thread that i ever needed to start on anything on phones so please understand that i'm REALLY DESPERATE i have looked in a ton of places for this fix and i tried to use clockworkmod and ended up doing that correctly but when i tried to restore it it say i dont have any backups nor recovery files and i tried putting cynagenmod on my sd card but it couldnt find the file and then i tried to use NFFLASH and make it stock android again but nothing happened and ended up stuck on the blue logo screen again. please i dont know what to do
Which version of Cyanogenmod is it? Put it on the root of your SD card. Is it already on the internal storage? I believe when you click "install from .zip" or something of the equivalent there's an option to select "choose from internal storage".
You can boot back into clockwork mod by turning the phone off, holding down the power and volume down buttons until the lg logo with the BLUE background appears, then release.
I was trying to install cynagen mod 7.01 from Rom manager but it froze in the logo screen and so i took out the battery and put it back on and it still continued to do that. After that i used CWM but i didnt have any ROMS to restore it and before it didnt correctly make my backup so i just want to restore it like the way it used to but i dont know where to put it in my sd card

Your sentence is incredibly long. Gave up after the desperate grab for attention. You may have wiped your backups by mistake. It happens. I did it not once, but twice. Give us more info so we can help. ROM, kernel, etc. A list of apps you run on a daily basis would be helpful.

Never use rom manager to install on this phone, you'll continue to run into this problem.
Can you access your phone storage when it's plugged into your computer? If you can, drop CM onto it at the root directory, put it back into your phone, boot into CWM and install the zip.
i think my rom was stock rom 2.3.4 before i tried flashing cynagenmod the apps arent very important to me and i only had this phone for a week because i got too excited about the dual core.
Follow the instructions HERE to the letter. You'll go back to stock and you'll have to root your phone again (if that's what you want to do) but it should get you up and running again.
In future, search, search, and search some more. I assure you, most problems people have had have been discussed and probably solved on these forums.
Welcome to XDA!
What is the name for this process of trying to restore my device from blue logo screen? If i know the name of the issue im trying to fix maybe i can start searching for the guides. I can't really access my internal or sd card when i plug in my usb and i don't really understand what the problem i ran into if its even fixable or not. The link you've sent me for the guide i'm trying right now but i can't just sit here and wait for an hour. Feedback is really appreciated

The whole process (if done correctly) should take but about 15 minutes give or take. What you'll be doing is Flashing Stock Recovery. Download the file provided in the link I gave, and then follow each instruction exactly as it says. Shouldn't be a need to Google any guides as this spell it out for you. Just have read and execute.
If you used NvFlash/One Click Recovery to flash Clockwork Mod to your device then you should already have the APX driver installed on your computer. In that case, half of the battle is already done.
But, if you installed your recovery using Rom Manager, then I would download the APX driver and go through the whole process in the guide I've linked from start to finish.
Ok, I swear I have read 100 pages of similar problems, but it looks like everyone else is able to get into apx mode at least to run nvflash or easy flasher.
1. Turn on xformer with power button - stuck at Asus Eee Pad screen
2. Try to boot into recovery with vol - + power;
- volume up to enter recovery, ded android with an exclamation
- volume down to choose between 'wipe' and 'cold boot' both result in getting stuck at Asus screen
3. Plug in xformer, hold power and vol +; nothing. Never shows up in device manager and it doesn't beep or anything like the ones in all the videos do.
I really just want to get up and running at the very least, as I handle all of my businesses billing through my xformer, but my ultimate goal is to get on the HD-ROM.
I have downloaded the newest firmware from asus, have all the drivers installed (I think), have tried booting into recovery with one, some or all of the new software on the sdcard.
Any more ideas I can try? Do you just have to hold your mouth right to get it into apx mode? I have held those buttons so much I think I'm getting Nintendo thumb!!!
Thanks all!
nobody?
Throw something at me! What update.zip file do I put on the sd card? I have tried putting the newest asus update.zip on there with both its original name and the update.zip name. still comes up with a dead android and an exclamation point.
Download a firmware from Asus, rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
Put it on the root of your sd card and boot into recovery, hopefully it will flash it and let you boot up.
As for NVFlash, make sure you install teh APX driver.
Still won't get past about a second or two of trying to boot with EP101_SDUPDATE.zip on the sd card. Think I'm stuck, or is there something else I need to try?
Thanks!!
..Do the apx process and try using brks tool......just dont flash touch recovery! I couldnt get the drivers to show but still managed to nvflash recovery using the tool. Its install solarnz external sd recovery so you can put a rom zip onto micro sd.
My issue was after doing this normal on off reboot kept booting to recovery and i had to cold boot into the rom.
I tried the wheelie beta and it has ended up wiping the tf completely.....so dont do that lol. Its still a soft brick as i could still nvflash recovery but decided that aslongs its wiped of root etc id just send it to asus.
If brks tool flashes for you then id try nvflashing prime and see if that works.......i think it will but i ran out of time and patience this morning to do it......at your own risk of course.

i am the same issue by flashed the touch CWM and window wont able to reconigzed my TF as a APX device
i tried many drivers it still not able to work.
how can i get back to normal CWM? i dont have havy roms or update.zip in internal roms.. and Touch CWM wont able to recongized Removerable sdcard
god~~
The root and backup option should flash you an external recovery.
While tablet reboots hold down volume up and power until reboot stops.
Then try brks tool again and select root and backup.......during the process it may ask if you want to back up but its not worth while as i dont think theres anything to backup. You should end up with ext micro sd recovery.
As i said id look for the prime rom thread and download the nv flash version and see if it works first.
If asus restore the wiped TF without question and everything goes ok il let you know as it may be worth wiping it with wheelie nv recovery and just RMA.
I just simply CAN'T get it into apx mode. I've installed, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Trying to flash ep101_sdupdate.zip still just results in an error. crap.
Hold Volume-UP BEFORE holding power, then hold power for 5 secs (Still holding vol-up( doing this all while connected. It should show in device manager.
Couldnt get Tf to show in device manager either no matter what.
I know it may not seem as though its in apx but if it has stopped rebooting when you do v up and power then it seems it is......
Seems to be an issue thats starting to become more common and very difficult to fix properly.
PC will just not recognise the TF.
Hmm - sorry i couldnt help more but id still try nv flashing Prime and if you can get to a blank screen using volume up and power without the TF rebooting theres a chance its in apx.
Best of luck dude.......

same case for me~~~just cant install the driver
You all can try running Puppy or DSL (damn small linux) in a virtual box on your windows pc. Comes with drivers included and only is a 200/60 Mb download.
Got so frustrated with it I just went and bought a tf-300

no better way to fix it than that
nice one
Yea, I like it pretty good so far. Volume is WAY louder on the 300, even though there is only one speaker. The screen also gets darker, which is nice if you watch tv or browse the interwebs in the bed. Also, wifi reception is great. Haven't tried gps yet, but I'm sure it is improved.
It did get really laggy, but I did a factory reset and it seemed to clear out the cobwebs.
Thanks for y'all's help! I'm still going to try to unbrick that tf-101 and sell it or something. Hate to have a $400 paperweight...
People will buy bricked ones on Ebay for a reduced price, just clarify that it is in fact bricked.
