I messed up bad. :crying: I have some idea what I'm doing but I just made a terrible mistake. I was running Viperxl with exernalx kernel and I wanted to try cyanogenmod 10.1. I had a back up of the factory version that was rooted and a back up of viperxl/externalx. I tried flashing the cyanogenmod rom and it was stuck in the loading screen. So I rebooted back into recovery then tried to flash the rooted factory backup I had. Same thing. It was stuck in the loading screen. Here's where I went wrong. I rebooted back into bootloader and tried factory reset without really knowing what it did. Now I have no back up. When I try to mount the sd card my computer says it has to format it first. And to format it, my computer has to clear it. And luckily I didn't just go for that. Any idea of what to do next? I'm stuck lol. Thanks for the help
Edit: Ok it's not really an sd card. All I can describe is it says drive G: and it has 10gb of internal storage(but it it has 16gb total it just says it will wipe about 10gb storage, can someone explain?) that I would have to all wipe out to format. I thought you would just call it an internal sd card but I don't think that's right. I just don't want to wipe anything important

You corrupted sd card doing factory reset from bootloader.. don't ever do that on this phone. After formatting on pc copy Rom to sd and flash. If your on hboot 1.14 or higher you need to flash boot.img from rom.zip you installed. Unless your s-off

Yeah I learned that the hard way lol. I usually check before doing stuff like that but... no excuse, I just went stupid. I thought it would be bad to format the disk since it wipes everything off? Is the important software on the other drive and not the 10gb sd card? Noob question but I just want to make sure before I make this irreversible
Edit: Ok I put more thought into this and I don't think you would call it an sd card. Just internal storage. But I see you have the same phone so I hope your advice is good. I just need to be reassured before doing anything else

I can't mount the sd card though since I factory reset it. Unless I format it on my computer and doing that will wipe everything off. And I'm not sure how that will turn out. So until then I'll keep searching around or hopefully get an answer. Person above said to format it but I'm just not sure yet and would hate to brick it. I'm kinda new to this so forgive my noobish questions on this stupid mistake

Thanks for the quick reply! That's what I thought. I just scared myself away from doing anything else. I don't always f up but when I do, I f up real bad lol. Most profound way to learn imo. And not to jack my own thread but can you run elementalx 6.7 with cyanogenmod 10.1? Can't seem to find answer and I'm not familiar enough with this stuff yet(obviously)
No you absolutely cannot use elemental kernel with aosp based ROMs. It's only for use with sense ROMs. It probably says that in the OP of the kernel thread. You really need to do some reading.

Didn't see this till now. Is it that easy? I thought it took something more technical and risky than this. I read into this for two days straight before doing anything and everything went smooth. And I did back it up. Not sure what went wrong there when trying to flash it because it worked earlier. There's just a few things I'm not too familiar with like the factory reset. And for some reason I tried it assuming it just reset it back to how it came out of the factory. It's all a learning process
I guess you leaned the hard way huh, just remember never to factory reset in bootloader again, only in recovery. And do some more reading, your question about elemental kernel would have answered itself if you took the time to read properly.

Ok that makes sense. Idk why I didnt just check the kernel thread. I was just being lazy. Well.. you're definitely right. I got plenty of reading to do. I just always over analyze things and search stuff too specific which makes asking these questions on threads easier
There's nothing wrong with asking questions. But usually the same question has been asked and answered before, so be sure to search effectively first, it's part of xda rules.
Sent from my Evita
Yeah I understand that lol. I thought about that before asking. I was mostly just wondering if it was ok to wipe the memory to format it. And I explained everything just to check and make sure there was nothing else that could be done. Which I probably could've found the answers myself but it's a bit overwhelming making these mistakes without knowing what to do. Just want to cry out for help. Things always look so much easier retrospectively lol. And they usually are too
All in all I think you did the right thing, you have the right information we need to tackle the problem. You'll find xda to be a great place, it's full of like minded people that are willing to lend a hand when the **** hits the fan.

SO I sat up last night and got S OFF, installed recovery 5.something....made a back up of rom, used titanium to create apps back up.
I have copied the titaniumbackup folder to my computer.
I have copied clockworkmod folder to my computer.
I have exported my contacts to sd card...then to my computer
Is that all I need to back up, I am a little worried I have missed something important.
Fast responses welcome. I am sitting waiting to flash my first rom...
Also planning supercid before rom though...
You are totally set to flash in my opinion. When you make a backup with Clockworkmod Recovery or any other custom recovery you have a exact copy of the ROM and all your apps and personal settings. So you are actually triple ready I would say lol.
Okay cool, it's just that the sddir looked different after clockwork went in, files were in different order, so had to make sure the only places to back up were the folders themselves.

I would make sure you are s-off'ed and CID as well follow the instructions fully and presto you will have a new phone with ics running on it.

S off is done, cid is done, rooting is all done, everything is backed up.
But I have been seriously distracted today playing with and setting up go launcher and numerous other go customization-al software.
Right at this minute I am waiting for for my new splash screen to load up...using the mysplash 1112.3 script
Though I am getting this error coming up,
"daemon not running starting it now on port 5037"
I got something similar when getting cid with adb...is this normal?
And this splash conversion is taking forever...Never mind, no one actually said you have to manually reboot into fast boot mode...grr...new splash screen flashed with success
I think I will wait until tomorrow to re-back up my customized look and then go for the rom again...
Although it's a good move *just in case* you should know that flashing a ROM will never wipe your sd card. So putting the backups on the computer shouldn't be necessary! In less something goes SERIOUSLY wrong there should never be a circumstance where your sd card will get wiped. Good luck, play safe, have fun ;D

On my first flash (EVER) I have about 2 percent battery left and stupidly flashed anyways, and ended up soft bricked and returned to HTC for a fix.

I haven't gotten around to it yet, honestly I am still unsure as to how, and yes I have checked quite a few threads for basic details, I am a Noob despite thoughts to the contrary, but I am a fussy one at that, I must have read the s off guide over a dozen times like...

Any time you flash anything you risk a brick. It's uncommon, if you know what you're doing, but it happens. Almost Every ROM has specific instructions for flashing.
And make sure you do a nandroid backup first.

Wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
Buddy, you need to stop what you're doing and read for a few days before flashing.

I just made sure I did everything exactly it said and am now running a flashed rom
Do you know how warm I feel inside to see someone that actually READS?
And to clarify on ROM flashing, what happens is your internal storage is partitioned I to several parts. When you flash, you write to those partitions. For example, when you flash a recovery, it writes an image to that partition, similar to burning an ISO onto a CD. Hope that makes stuff a little clearer... so yes, if you're not careful, you're going to screw yourself over by telling your processor to do something it doesn't understand. It's like if I suddenly told you to go make me a sandwich in Chinese. Unless you understand Chinese, you would freak out and get confused.

And might possibly turn into a brick, don't forget that part.
That's what I get when accessing the "advanced" part of CWM Touch 5.8.1.3 on my skyrocket(to wipe dalvik cache). I also got something similar during a nandroid backup.
What does this mean and why am I getting this message?
Something to do with your external sd card. Might want to Odin cwm again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
It's done this since I've had the phone.. part of me thinks it's because of all the weird partitioning i had to do when i was using this external card with my atrix and the lapdock.. trying to unlock the webtop and all that insanity. I've tried repartitioning but it doesn't do the job.. now what?
I don't think re-odining CWM will do it, I've been on 4 different CWMs since getting my skyrocket and they've all done this.
I'm also having trouble running sean's newest ICS rom(i went back to GB for a while, too many little bugs were driving me crazy) now. Phone won't boot with it installed. Could this be because the dalvik can't be wiped? where is the dalvik cache written to?
Have you tried using a different external SD card to see if it still gives you that error?
naw, i know i should. i will soon, i was just kind of looking to see if this was a common thing. just formatted the card and will try again. the issue never caused any problems until right now, i'm thinking it's part of the reason i can't boot the ROM. will try reflashing after formatting the external card, then if that doesn't work i'll try going back to the GB nandroid, if it still doesn't boot then i'll try the external card and get back.
You shouldn't need an external to boot the rom. Everything should be flashed from the internal. Just leave the external out, reflash everything, and boot up.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
yeah i figured it couldn't really be the external causing the boot failure. but would not being able to properly wipe the dalvik cause it? because it returns the error when i go to wipe the dalvik. sorry, i'm like a half-noob... got all the terms and procedures down, but the under the hood stuff is still coming slowly lol
edit: no dice. just won't boot at all. going to ODIN cwm again as suggested and try that.
now things are getting really weird. after ODINing CWM, when i go to install from the external SD it just keeps going to my internal. both "internal" and "external" sd card options go to the internal. there's a subfolder for the external_sd as it would be in root explorer, but that just loops back to the normal internal sd folder.. what the hell is going on?

Your on ATT so get the odin oneclick and properly start with the leaked ICS rom.
The onclick has bootloader updates thats CWM wont give you and it also installs the most recent radio and most recent ril's.
The odin "oneclick" will wipe the entire phone and set it up stock and should correct any wierd formatting errors.
Then use the Odin "program" to flash CWM tar
Then try flashing a rom again.
Oh take that card from your atrix and format it FAT32 with a pc and only put the rom and rom updates on it to start with. If you get this far, you should be good to go.

I have downgraded using JET from 1.14 to 2.20. Process includes bricking your phone to get into special recovery mode that give RW access to hboot, but you do need TWRP at some point I think (not sure though) to get in bricked, before you start downgrade, so you might not be able to downgrade.
However, I don't think you are SOL. Look into manual steps of downgrading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32761598&postcount=107
OP gives you there way to verify that device is connected and part of the steps is listing partitions. If you can get partitions listed on your PC, then I think you can just dd system image and it should come back to life... also have you tried 2.20 RUU? I had a corrupted system partition (bad sector causing reboot when I would try to access system - including booting phone or into twrp recovery). I ended up using RUU (which also failed from the same bug, but It actually reformatted my system partition giving me access to twrp and then I was able to restore).

This method will not work because he's corrupted his extended partition table. All that's left is the write-protected hboot, which the processor can't find because the partition table is gone. So he can't boot into recovery.
People have been working on this issue for a long time and there is currently no solution if you're on 2.20.
To the OP, where did you get a copy of ICJ? The latest version is supposed to contain asserts to prevent flashing on this phone. You can get this repaired by HTC for $150 or something. Or, if your ethics allow it, people have played dumb and gotten warranty replacements.

People have been working on this issue for a long time and there is currently no solution if you're on 2.20.
To the OP, where did you get a copy of ICJ? The latest version is supposed to contain asserts to prevent flashing on this phone. You can get this repaired by HTC for $150 or something. Or, if your ethics allow it, people have played dumb and gotten warranty replacements.

If there is no ROM loaded onto the phone, as in doing a full /system wipe, the asserts will not work.
The assert that's being flashed looks at the build.prop that's already loaded onto the phone.

And of course, it's good practice to wipe /system when changing roms. I didn't think of that. That's obviously why people are still getting in trouble.

I don't ever wipe /system when flashing ROMs. It gets wiped when you flash anyway. I always wipe user data (factor reset), Dalvik and cache. But that's it.

Yep, if you format /system, the build.prop is gone, and the assert looks to the build.prop.. why it flashes, I don't know.
The way its set up seems like it would only flash if "ro.device=endeavoru" or whatever the line is, is present. I guess there is no fail safe to stop the process if the build.prop isn't present
Yeah, i'll skip the playing dumb idea. I prefer just going straight up to HTC about this. Would i be able to call in to HTC and ask them how much it costs? That is, if they accept these kinds of repairs.

They do and you're not the first to ask. I think they just swap up the motherboard.

They can fix any software corruption they have the tools too they know their phones front to back and can rewrite anything to them...just tell them what happened and they'll tell you the cost( maybe they'll feel bad and give a nice price) honesty can get you in good places sometimes
Thanks. Will send everyone who replied a thank button. Regardless of what type of comment...... I'll need to check the cost. Hopefully its below 100....
Ladies and Gents,
I made sure I chose the correct RUU based on my CID (CWS__001)
I relocked my phone and attempted to install "RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_ 0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed.exe". After the RUU finished my phone seems to be hard bricked.
Won't Boot.
No power lights.
I knew this could happen when flashing an international version. AFTER getting owned I also found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929. Which was blatantly in the beginning of the forum. Has anyone found a fix for this issue, or is my only option JTAG repair?
Thanks,
Ryan

You could take your phone back and tell them it won't boot etc.
If you can't get it to boot neither can they, so no-one will know it's been unlocked/rooted.
Some people will say this is fraudulent, but hey, if you can live with yourself who cares what anyone else thinks?
Pft I returned mine to Telus when the same thing happened to me. The way I see it, it was HTC's RUU that bricked my phone, not me. Like you, I did not have supercid and was S-ON.
You could try the unbrick Evita thread. If you make it past step 3 you can save your phone.
You'll need to boot to Linux.

I bricked my phone trying to install elementalx and phone wouldn't boot at all and no lights. sent it in for jtag and they told me emmc controller was unresponsive and sent it back to me. looks like I may have to trash the phone... or make a few bucks on ebay.

Did they refund you? I was going to send it into mobiletechvideos for JTAG. I don't see the phones selling for more than 100$ on ebay.

If the emmc controller isn't responding, it's worth even less than that.

they did refund. minus the cost of shipping and something else, however. it was worth a try though... All I know though is I will never touch an elemental kernel again... not worth it that's for sure...

Just curious about your situation. Did the kernel flash successfully and then just not boot? What ROM were you flashing it over? Tons of people, myself included, have flashed that kernel without issue so I'm interested in what exactly happened.

Sure, I too have used their kernels and have never had an issue until this time. So I started to install the kernel and it froze at I believe 60%? Then it sat... It said the flash could take awhile so to just wait so I did... For 2 hours. I knew something wasn't right because no elemental flash has taken my phone longer than a few minutes before this one so without thinking i'd hurt anything I held the buttons to hard power off the phone. After it shut off it's been completely dead since. No charge lights, no sign of any life at all other then the QHSUSB_DLOAD under device manager when plugged into my PC. the rom that I had flashed was the latest cleanrom. super bummed but i'll get over it. the worst part about this was I had pics of my kids that I had not backed up that are now lost.

That does suck about the pictures. That would upset me more than the phone as well. I went and looked at the thread after I saw your post and saw a couple of other bricks aside from yours in the last couple of hundred posts. Very unfortunate that flashing a kernel bricked it. I try to stay away from anything that uses the Aroma Installer unless there are no other options, not saying that was the problem, but I've had numerous issues with it previously. After seeing multiple bricks from a basic kernel flash I'm going to definitely be more cautious about what I flash from now on. I'd be totally screwed if I bricked this phone. Anyway, hope you end up with something better out of this, like the HTC One.

Funny thing about the One... I was thinking about getting it but after this issue I will never look at another phone that doesn't have a removable sd card...
I think a key thing to note here is that you are flashing software that has been altered by someone you don't know and you can never be sure that things will work out. There's huge risks associated with rooting/unlocking your phone. If there wasn't HTC would warrant your phone regardless of what you do.
If you don't have an answer to the question "What will I do when I brick my phone?" don't root. Whenever modding anything, consoles, phones, set top boxes, I always assume that I will render it unusable. If that doesn't sit well with me, I don't modify it. That should be the general rule of thumb to follow.

Install twrp 2.3.3.1 and reformat sd card with a pc. Move Rom to sd and reflash. And also what hboot? I know you said s-off bit did you fastboot the boot.img and see is that helped?

thanks first of all I was on CMW, formatted the drive as computer prompted, lost the data but was able to flash the ROM and fastboot the boot image to phone.
Now only one problem the phone restarts and then goes to boot loop everytime I have to fastboot the boot image file.
DO I need to change the recovery and is there any way to by pass the fastboot process? Sorry for noob question
