Updated to 4.2.3.1 phone is back at stock ROM

Okay, ill take this from the top.
Well i found out Cyan had a new rom available and i figured ill take the time to update to the newest rom i was on 4.1.1.1.1.1.1 (Whatever) and i first downloaded 4.2.3.1 and tried to flash it not knowing you have to download a recovery image so i had downloaded and flashed the recovery image on top of the 4.2.3.1 then when that was finished the phone said formatting radio or something then it rebooted then went back to the recovery screen next thing i see is the phone giving a message formatting cache and it didnt do anything for about 20 min i rebooted the phone and now im back at stock firmware without root.....
Do i go ahead and Root my phone again or do i have to do something else.
Any advice is much appreciated!

Yes i think my phone is not rooted based on that information.

PLEASE HELP - Can't install any ROMS???

I just got my replacement phone thru HTC and I was returning my current N1 to stock. I had CM6 installed and I rooted my phone without Unlocking it. My plan was to reinstall the stock recovery and go back to a stock unrooted Froyo.
A bunch of stuff happened and where I'm stuck at now is that I have a stock recovery. And my phone has an incomplete OS. (When it loads it just Force Closes everything.)
The last thing i flashed before the OS stopped working was: Update-Passion-Full-FRF91.zip
I tried flashing in fastboot. idk what else to do?
I'd like to either have this go back to stock like i wanted or at least get back to having RA Recovery so i can recover my nand
Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I got mine to stock and successfully returned it to HTC for a swap without any problem using fastboot from the link above. I didn't flash it to stock 2.2 I only flashed the room that it came with from factory (really old one ERD79) and HTC didn't care.
yeah i tried doing that first. but i kept getting failed verification errors
just flash RA recovery via fastboot ( if you can, I dont't know if it will let you since you don't have bootloader unlocked)
Or try using the PASSIMG.ZIP method
Please help soon. i have to send this phone back to HTC
IMGPASS.zip did not work. Main version is older! error
it wont let me go into stock recovery and flash any signed ROMS. It starts to open them up and then i get an error.

Phone Fixed itself??
THe phone fixed itself. It finally rebooted and no force closes.
No idea what i did that fixed it.
but i just accept that it happened.
Now to mess with my new phone :/

[Q] How to install CyanogenMod 5.0.7 on T-Mobile G1?

I have difficulty installing the cyanogenMod 5.0.7 ROM for the G1. I tried installing it thrice over 3-4 days and still cant get over it. I initially had Jesus Freak 1.4.2, from which, I tried installing DangerSPL, although to no avail, from then on, the phone seemed bricked. Hence, I renamed the CyanogenMod ZIP file as update.zip, and retried installing it by pressing home+power. Although I got the error that the script file couldn't be found.
Therefore, I freshly installed the official Android 1.0 release from here: code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick and again began the process of rooting, and installing the CyanogenMod ROM. Although, I rooted the phone by watching the videos (youtube.com/watch?v=xOo2V9qCauc) and (youtube.com/watch?v=ua8ljJAnTpc) .
Following which, I think, I installed the radio updates.
I then installed Amon Recovery from following the steps: (bit.ly/eMyBlL) and then the DangerSPL (bit.ly/f2xkvp)
It again seemed the phone was bricked since, it didn't went past the G1 logo. But still I went into recovery via home+power, after I reattempted as earlier, by renaming the .zip file (from computer) to update.zip. and then inserted it into the SD card slot. But it still gave out the same error:
Code:
E:Can't find update script
Installation aborted
Bear in mind that, the recovery utility is not the one where there is a HTC logo on the background, but rather, the one with the exclamation mark within the triangle logo. So there is no choice to flash ZIP files which are not named update.zip
I'm thinking I will again start from scratch, and got back to the official release of Android 1.0, and keep upgrading till the last official one which is, 1.6. Therefore in the meantime, do throw away advice on how to properly root and install CyanogenMod 5.0.7 on the T-Mobile G1 with a different network.

Can't boot android

Hi,
I'm getting this issue that other people seem to have got, everyone else seems to just flash an updated WM rom to fix it, but it isnt working. This occurs after the install completes and i reboot.
Rebooting in 3 seconds..
mdp_dma_to_mddi : busy
I have tried RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42. 30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship.exe as well as RUU_Vogue_4350_TELUS_WWE_3.07.661.1_Radio_4350H_3. 41.00_Ship_withPPSTPatch1.20.exe, ive tried flashing just the Bell 3.42.50 radio and i've tried NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.
All have the same result. with this error
Any ideas?
Are you using haret to boot android? Try the zimage here
Apologies for ignorance, but how do i load this zimage?
The zip file in that link has a .nbh if you just want to install android over the top of WM6, the zimage is for another method that lets you reboot into android leaving WM6 still installed on the phone's internal flash memory. I've never used that method so I won't try and explain it.
Download atools and read the help...
Flashed the NBH and it fixed it, thanks

[Q] failed to mount /sdcard error

hi guys
this is my first post on this kickass site and i hope that someone can help me with this rather strange error :victory:
as the subject of topic says , i get this error whenever i boot my friends sgs into recovery as normal booting goes on loop forever.
this is the error i get in the recovery of stock I9000XXJVU:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (file exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard

Successfully applied multi-CSC
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what happened is this:
my friend had a sgs and i wanted to flash it with cyanogenmod 10 (android 4.1)
the stock firmware was 2.2 iirc.
i just rooted the stock and flashed the 4.1
it went ok but i saw the mounting error back then sometime that i rebooted the device with 4.1 on it but didn't get that error all the time and it would boot just fine.
then the error popuped more and more.
so i decided to flash stock 2.3.6 ,rooting it and finaly go back to 4.1.
after i flashed the device using I9000XXJVU it goes on loop.
recovery and downloading mode works.but the recovery give me that error i said above.

yep same error as before.
after flashing is done and it want to install the package,it get stock and give me that mounting error.
i just want to know if this problem is software or hardware
I also had this problem. Was on stock JVT with semaphore, partitions converted to ext4.
I decided to reboot my phone for no particular reason (was working reat) and when i powered it on kept boot looping without really getting past the samsung gt-i9000 white letters / black background screen.
CWM recovery said it was unable to mount any partition. External SD mounted fine, just nothing from the internel sd. No system, data, whatever. Got me thinking i may had my internal sd malfunctioning.
I just flashed it with odin and my stock branded operator rom (2.3.3) and done nothing more. No repartition. Working great. Was probably some ext4 error.
Before that i had been using cyanogen stable. Started giving FC like mad, so i flashed that stock JVT. On hindsight it may only had been the data partition that had run out of free space but i had no way of knowing when it happened and needed my phone running.
Reflashing got mine running again. Maybe try with Heimdall if odin's not working for you? Be sure to get a complete rom, with bootloaders and such. I'd suggest your operator's stock one. That way you can also send it back to samsung if it still doesn't work.

even tried a Rescue kit from here but no go...
why this is happening to me?
the failed to mount as i have come to understand is internal SD card failure you will have to give external SD card a try
