Hi guys,
I really need your help here!
When I turned on my phone this morning, it booted up normally, but suddenly, after few seconds the phone froze and turned off. Now its still the same, but sometimes even image on screen freeze instead of turn black.
Now the weird part- i tried wipe data/cache in CWM or install another ROM. ROM update run smoothly, without any errors, but when i turned on the phone, data wasn't wipe at all, it was exactly in the same state as before. I also tried to delete data directory via adb shell with su, but it keeps telling me that data partition is read only. I tried remount it with -rw, but it didn´t make any difference, still getting read only message. Another strange thing is when i open the data directory in Droid explorer, it looks like the folder is empty, but in system info I can see there is over 1GB used in DATA partition.
Thanks for any advice or suggestions, I´m really desperate here!
update: when i boot the device in safe mode, it last on little bit longer. when i try to delete anything from data, it freezes instantly. Could somehow data partition be corrupted?
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your device and issue, and since it's an older device... Most threads I can find are likely very outdated.
But you can ask for help here,

I bought a used HTC Inspire 4g/DHD and it had already been flashed with "Jellytime." Thats all I really know. I know the basics of flashing and such. But here is the problem. Everything seemed in order, so i gave the phone to a friend to use, and then it started having a ton of issues. Video would go all wonky in landscape mode, phone would lock up, become unresponsive etc. So i attempted a factory restore via the boot menu and clockworkmod. Everything seemed to be going all good, then suddenly it gave me 2 errors saying it could not find and could not mount recovery files.
I thought, okay, weird, and let the phone finish doing what it is doing and restarted. It took probably 5-6 minutes after the restart and i finally got to the first screen to setup android (select language) and got a slew of pop up error messages saying XXX app has crashed or is not responding or that files were missing. and would not let me progress past that first screen. Now the phone will not even boot past the "jellytime" logo. (HTC logo flashes first, then jellytime animation and just stays there).
So i am at a loss as to what to do next because i cant get into android to enable USB debugging to use whatever process to reflash a suitable ROM. My friend really needs a phone back so a prompt response would be appreciated.

Maybe you have to re-flash the whole ROM. Startig freshly (with a factory reset / wipe data) is recommended.
And don't give the device to this friend again
If you have further questions, please ask in the Inspire 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Good luck !

I posted over in the other forum. But my issue is that I cannot do the factory restore and data wipe. It will not complete. It give me a missing recovery file error. And it can't mount the missing recovery files. It is why I am so stuck.

As I can see, you have already posted your question in the Q&A forum ([Q] soft bricked or screwed?).
So now you have to be patient and wait for someone to answer there.
Thanks for your understanding. Thread closed.
I made a full nandroid backup on twrp about a week ago which included every option including EFS, when I went to (fully) restore the backup due to a faulty ROM it got stuck at 36% and wouldn't continue, I left it overnight to see if it would work and it did not, so I pulled the battery out and went to re run the restore but it has dissappeared, it wasnt on my SD card anymore and I couldn't figure out what had happened so I restored a different backup that only included data, system, and recovery, and when I booted my phone it said it was in Factory mode right away, but it didn't have the yellow text in the background, I have access to my cellular network but when I turn WiFi and then open an app that uses it, the phone instantly shuts off, I was reading online that the EFS was corrupt but the whole folder was empty, not a single file in it. I can't find anyone else who had the same problem and would greatly appreciate any help, I'm quite desperate to get this fixed

Hi. I successfully flashed blisspop rom to my SM-T700 tablet after flashing the stock rooted os. It pretty much worked perfectly. The problem here is that I never reset my dalvik cache and I'm not sure if blisspop does automatically for me or not, so I'm suspecting this is the problem. Anyway, I decided to reset to factory defaults to get space back on my internal sd card. I reset, and my tablet starts to boot into TWRP recovery, but I then experienced what people are always talking about-- bootloop. Now, I was going to reboot into recovery again, maybe it was a one-time glitch. But of course, my recovery goes away EVERY TIME I REBOOT, so now I'm stuck with the default recovery, which gets me nowhere. I try to do a normal boot, and surprise! IT DOESN'T START. So I get android studio and try to see if I can connect with my tablet through the built in adb console. I can't because apparently I need to accept the computer or something, but I can't, because the darn thing won't start up!! So there's my problem. I've tried adb, flashing stock rom, even attempting to corrupt it by pulling the battery when its starting so I can somehow reset it. No luck. Please help!
Hi, boot into download mode and flash the stock firmware.

I own a rooted Huawei Ascend Mate 2 on 4.2. stock ROM. The Huawei ROM is aggressive at killing apps, and I decided perhaps moving Kik into the system would help prevent it from being killed so much (I miss messages more often than I get notified). Guess that was stupid, as now my screen will not come on after the booting animation. ... It just goes black. Clicking the power/unlock button will make it vibrate quickly, but that is all. I can reboot by pressing and holding, and the boot animation comes back up, but goes black again. The phone appears to be on even though the screen keeps sleeping, my computer detects it. I cannot confirm if it registers charging, as I have my LED disabled. I do not have a nandroid backup (that IS, indeed, stupid of me), so I know a factory reset would bootloop the device due to the modifications I have made. Please, any suggestions on how to wake this thing?
I dont need to hear "Well sounds like it's baked lolz" because im already afraid that's what im looking at.
Update:
I've been trying to push TWRP in, and struggling.
In Command, it seems everything is ok up until a certain point. I go through all the code, then try to 'reboot-bootloader' but it comes back with 'error: device offline'
How can I get around this to fix this thing??
Im using Win7 if it helps.
Bump
TWRP is installed now after a lot of fuss. Can't get the stock Rom to install now. It keeps saying 'error flashing zip '/sdcard/TWRP_BACKUPS_stock-system-with-root.zip'
Ive wiped cache, dalvik cache, wiped the previous ROM (which also was stock), and the error keeps happening.
Any help??? I would really appreciate someone contributing to this thread.

Boot into Recovery.
Turn your device off and press Power + Volume Down simultaneously for 5-7 seconds-ish and then select 'Recovery.'
Try connecting the device to your computer after it has booted into recovery. You may be able to access your files from the computer and copy/paste anything you need.
First, I would try wiping dalvik cache / cache NOT DATA!
Or If you manage to copy and paste everything you want to keep from here, I would then recommend factory resetting the device which you should be able to do from Recovery also. THIS WILL REMOVE ALL DATA. Do not do this if you haven't copied all the data you need onto your computer.
edit: Here's a video with instructions on how to get into recovery mode, wipe the cache or factory reset from recovery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ax2DdQZVBQ

Seems like your Android Installation is corrupt. At this point it may not be possible to recover data. You might need to do a clean flash using fastboot to flash stock ROM in order to turn of the phone.
