Hi everyone !
I have HTC Sensation XL, once I was trying to install custom rom in it. I unlocked bootloader then I installed recovery. But I forgot to S-OFF my phone. I installed CM10.1 in phone through recovery after making backup my previous rom which was original ICS 4.0.3. But when I installed cm10.1, it says installation failed. I got back to recovery to restore my previous rom but whn got back there and select restore option it said" can't mount SD card". I tried so many times to restore but same message prompted. Finally restart my phone into bootloader there I did factory reset accidentally. actually i was trying to go into recovery, but select factory reset. This action wiped the whole system of my phone. Now whenever i start my phone it stuck on HTC logo and don't boot further.
Please anybody have solution for this problem? Please help me otherwise i'll lost my phone.
Please help me.

Hi
I'm new to this and was recommended to root my phone by a friend
I have a HTC Desire HD on Orange, UK.
Last night I installed visionary, rommanager etc and perma rooted my phone
I recently downloaded the latest version of 'Coredroid DHD' moved it onto my SD card and installed it using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.6 'installed zip from sdcard' option after turning Radio-Off.
Anyway - the install said complete and I rebooted my phone, and it just hangs on the start screen.... I can boot to 'Fast boot' and after hitting restore on fast boot I can get back into clockworkmod recovery...but I can't boot my phone
Does anybody know what I can do? I ideally want this mod installed, but if not I just want it reverted back so I can have my phone back
Thanks
Dave
you need to wipe (recovery -> wipe data).
Ive already done that....formats fine and then still just hanging on the first screen - do you know anything else I can do?
Just an update - I've tried installing 2 other Mods and after successful install in the ClockworkMod Recovery and Rebooting....the HTC logo still hangs.
I really need some help here!
Did you try searching for a usb recovery mode? I'm sure there are flash utilities for windows as well.
But before you do that I would try to wipe all data except for what's on the sd card!!
Wipe data factory
Clear caches
Clear SD ext. ยก paranoid !

Hello,
It's my first time trying to install a ROM in my Nexus S. I think I screwed it a little bit.
Now, I have ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 installed and that's it. When I try to reboot to mount the USB to put the zip files in SD Card, nothing happens and it stays on a black screen. I think I wipe all the OS on it by doing "Wipe data/factory reset". I thought it would put it back to factory Google version.
I unlocked the phone and installed ClockworkMod. I wanted to put the SU on it and backup the OS first in case I would like to roll back but I guess I did something wrong.
What can I do now ?
Buy a new phone ? I hope not !
Thanks for the help
Was trying to flash the ICS ROM V5 but it got stuck on the boot animation. I did a factory reset, surprisingly it was still there. So i used "Team Win Recovery Project" aka "twrp-crespo-2[DOT]0[DOT]0RC0[DOT]img" in nexusshacks.com. I went in there to do a factory reset but i wiped the ACTUAL system instead. So when i reboot i am stuck on Google. Unfortunely i only had 1 back up which is in ClockworkMod, but i cant access that. I dont mind my lost files because i can recover that but i want my phone to work again. Can i copy the nexus s contents from another nexus s and place it in my SD and will it work? If you guys have ideas please do reply because i need my phone fixed asap. Bootloader unlocked and rooted using superuser.

okay,am not very familiar with TWRP but your problem doesn't seem that big,you wiped the /system which should not affect your USB storage data (even if you wiped the USB storage it's not a problem),try to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power button) then go to recovery,mount the USB storage and put a ROM on it,then just flash the ROM and your device should boot up normally,i think you weren't stuck at the bootanimation since when you flash a new ROM the first boot could take from 5 to 10 minutes.
i usually do a clean install before flashing a new ROM (format system,data,cache,boot) and the device just boot up normally after flashing the new ROM so it's not a problem if you wiped your system just flash a new ROM.

I did this same thing a few weeks ago. I just had to reinstall everything (including the recovery) from fastboot. Worked like a charm.
I used the nexusshack tut to root my nexus had no problems.
You could go into recovery, mount usb storage, find the clockworkmod directory and copy that to your pc..
do a full data wipe and flash a new rom, then install rom manager flash CWM recovery . move the clockworkmod directory back to your phone. boot into recovery and restore you backup.
Just an idea .. not sure if it could work..(take no responsibility is it doesnt)

So the phone doesn't come on at all? What happens when you try to open boot loader.

when i try to go to bootloader by pressing down and start key, it takes me to menu where i can see start, recovery and bootloadrer option, if i go to recovery, it will lead me to twrp , but if i select bootloader it will just do nothing
Don't freak out. Everything will be OK. Just follow this guide to flash the stock image and you'll be up and running in minutes.

If you successfully made a backup, go to TWRP -> restore -> choose the file you backed up and flash.
If not, follow El Daddys post.
thank you guy,... i am working on that. will post back soon
thank you so much all of you. you just saved me.. should i select format data option only when flashing a rom or the option which says and which option causes the internal memory to wipe out clean
I usually do factory reset and wipe dalvik/cache a second time to be safe.
Which method did you use to get it running again?
Ok, so I asked this in XDA Assist but can't post reply there.
This is what happened on my Xperia mini St15i, with firmware 4.1.B.0.587:
1. I turned on Bluetooth and the phone got stuck in infinite boot loop - apparently this is a known bug.
2. I decided to try out CM 9. Installed CWM Recovery and did backup on sd card and flashed CM.
3. I remembered that I did the backup earlier so I thought maybe there is a way to keep my apps and data.
4. I went back to CWM and restored from backup. CM didn't boot then, so I flashed back stock rom with flashtool and booted the phone. The apps and data was there( at least for one app which was very important), but contacts and messages were gone.
So my question is, is there a way to recover ALL user data from the backup? I don't care if it's on stock rom or CM at this point.
I hope some of you knowledgeable people can help!
Many thanks,
Paul
Can someone please help. :crying:
I managed to restore it with all the data by trial and error (I don't know HOW). Then at night the phone lost battery and is back to rebooting forever.
If I restore all via CWM and then flash stock, it boots up saying "Android is upgrading" and then keeps rebooting.
If I do a factory reset via CWM and flash stock rom, the phone is back to factory setting with no data.
WHICH partitions should I recover and which should I flash to retain the data??? HELP :crying:
