I cant get into [Home+Power] stays at G1 screen. Other then that it does power up and go into phone. and [Power+Camera] works. Any help how to fix this ?

you probably need to reflash your recovery image. the thing that sucks is that the recovery image links are down so if you don't have a copy of it, well you can imagine....

Can you give me a link to one ? And tell me how to reflash ?
And BTW , you seem to always be there , big thanks man.

yeah, seems like you'll need to reflash the recovery.
I actually have a saved copy of the 1.4 recovery, if you give me your email i can send to you. the instructions to install it are on the original thread, here.

A question ?
For the past 1hrs ive been trying to get my phone to work. I installed cynogens recovery image 1.4 and after that tryed installing a theme and got a black screen i then notice it was because i didnt remove the icons b4 this. I was stuck cause i didnt have an sdcard reader so ive been using my cousin LG phone to transfer my data to the sdcard. So i tryed re-flashing the rom (Cynogen 4.0.4) with wip. Still got the black screen. Tryed a new rom (JACxHEROSki-v2.1) with wip , goes pass the G1 screen to the aqua blue cynogen android scate board screen to the black screen. Help ?
MOD EDIT

you might want to avoid constantly opening new threads, especially one that just has "?" in the subject; this one might get closed.
if your sdcard is partitioned correctly for cyanogenmod (ext2/ext3 - fat32) then you'll probably need to wipe the ext2/ext3 partition and wipe then reflash the rom. I haven't gone to a HERO rom yes myself, so i'm not sure if there is another step involved for that.

Ive never partitioned for Cynogen i have a clean 1g no partitions. Its always worked for me.

Im assuming that you didnt create a nandroid backup when you installed the recovery image? and let's both assume since you had Cyan running before that you have the correct Radio and SPL images.
ok, if you have no partitions we can skip a couple of steps.. try this, connect your phone to youe PC, boot into recovery with Home & Power and type the following commands.
alt&X to enter console
push enter
ums_enable
this will mount your sd and open it on your PC so you can verify that you have the correct update.zip on the root of your SD.
ums_disable
reboot recovery
alt&W
alt&S
If you are going to start flashing roms you really want to consider getting a bigger SD card, my nandroid backup is like, 900mb and without that it's kinda like playing russian roulette with your phone. I hope this helps.

A: your thread will be locked, or
B: you will not have as many fellow members trying to help you out.
TRhink of it this way, people here are busy.....they would like to know what they are gonna head into prior too opening a thread

You can go in the nandroid folder and delete old backups, folder names have dates. You can also store all of the folders and put them on your sdcard as needed, Nandroid only uses the one with the newest date anyways.

Hey no problem, I'm glad things worked out for you.

i broke things pretty good (bootloop/HELP???)

I was installing cyans rom and removing a hero a little bit ago, and did adb reboot recovery, and now im ending up not having recovery available, it is the stock htc download (step 1) for cyans instructions so i dont have terminal either. it boots up, and then i get a process error for google apps, and i constantly reboot.
i dont know what to do now.. I dont have recovery to turn to, and i dont have terminal to install the recovery image.

If you can get to the Fastboot screen, (booting holding the camera button) i'm pretty sure everything is fixable.

yes i can .. i just dont know what to do from there

You may need a card reader or another phone i think because you'll need to flash the DREAIMG.nbh again. It's all explained in the rooting guide.

Can you get to the Recovery by taking out the battery, then holding home+power? If so, put the update on the root of your SD, go to the Recovery, wipe, then update. Let me know what happens.

The only ways to brick a phone is to interupt a flash, or flashing the SPL before the radio. If you can enter recovery or fastboot you can recover the device. But we need more information in order to help you with your specific problem.

Force Reboot Recovery/Download

Is there a file in the android system that, sort of like an autoexec.bat, lists what to do on startup? For example forcing the system into recovery or download on power on?
I flashed the latest Vibrant firmware and did so with the option to repartition, which Im now finding out was not the right way to flash this one.
Long story short, it didnt contain the dbdata directory information and now, I am unable to boot and unable to get to download. I still have ADB access, it just isnt responding to ADB reboot download, it just comes right back up booting into recovery to flash the last stage of odin before it starts up.
Is there a way to force the phone back into download mode or force it to stop rebooting into recovery?

Pull battery out and USB to use the hardware buttons to manually get into download mode?
P.S. wrong forum

Aren't there some apps that can do that? I do it manually but like you said its not working for you, p.s im downloading that firmware

Manual buttons arent seemingly working, so far ive tried every conceivable combination of vol up down and power, even if all I do is plug the phone in Im back in recovery before the battery turns green.
(ps. I know, but I had a billion percent better chance not getting a mouthbreather response, despite the definite chance of flame posts lol)

Have you successfully gotten into Download mode with hardware buttons before? Or are you one of those vibrants with "locked download?"

I have a feeling mines locked, Ive never used the buttons to successfully get into download mode, just adb reboot download
EDIT: Tried the posts suggestions, problem is second I plug in the USB and the battery pops up it goes right to recovery. Even if im holding the buttons before hand.

x_x don't know what to tell you then. With locked hardware, you have to be really careful because if something goes wrong you cant manually get back in there. Do you have Clockwork Recovery? try restoring to a previous nandroid backup.

I was working with that a bit, but it just kept getting to datadata and being unable to wipe or flash to it due to the odin botch. I tried wiping it clean and it just wouldnt let me do that to reflash.
So now im stuck at the samsung recovery screen without the ability to get into clockwork or flash lol
This smells like 130 bucks for a new phone I think... brick number two >.>

Why did you change update.zip? Update.zip should always lead to Clockwork :|

I didnt! But when I was formatting and it failed to reapply the nandroid completely cause of the section it couldnt mount, now when I hit reinstall packages it just reboots. Same with shell, it just yells at me and tells me to die in a fire.

if you didnt figure this out, the way to fix it is to first flash WITH ODIN the original JVD firmware and check repartition, then flash the new one IN ODIN without the repartition box checked.
first update includes the dbdata that the phone is looking for.

Yeah, I figured it out now, but Odin is seriously the devil if your phone doesnt have the hardware buttons enabled.

Now heres a question, if I can still get into stock recovery... is there a way to like, you know, recover using the stock system? lol

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS that Tmo is letting me warranty out my phone for free, shipping me a new one, and gave me a loner while I wait.
TMo for the win.

lol looks like you and I are in the same boat man. Hardware lock FTMFL. I have never been able to get into download mode, or recovery mode with the hardware keys, only with adb reboot recovery/download and terminal emulator app with SU privs. I wish there was a jumper we could reset to unlock it haha that'd be the s*# son. Good old pentium 133 in the palm of the hands, but no . Atleast they are taking care of the people who don't do things properly.

I did the same thing and ended up with the same problem, but i was able to get in into download mode. When i would plug it in it would try to boot into recovery after the battery screen i would use the keys to make it boot to download mode instead of recovery, it was a *****, but i got it, though idk if there is another way for people with locked down phones.

[Q] E:Failed to mount /sdcard (File Exists)... help

I think I've tried everything except what I need to do. Anyway, here's the problem.
I was on MIUI 1.7.29 I believe, when all of a sudden, I restarted my phone, and my internal SD card was "blank." I restarted it one more time, and it solved the problem, or so it seemed.
Next time I rebooted my phone, my SD card was "blank" and I couldn't mount it for the life of me. I read somewhere that this may happen if you don't come from the stock ROM, which I came from Cog5v1, so I decided to flash back to the "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0" which I've had on my computer since I've owned my Captivate and re-do my MIUI ROM.
So, I flash that, and everything seems fine, until all the splash screens stop. Then my phone just sits at a black screen with the touch buttons lit up.
Now from here, I've had a few phone problems in my day that have been solved with a download jig, so I find my jig and flash a different Kernel on to get CWM up and format my internal SD card that way, but anytime I flash another Kernal and boot into recovery, I get the "E:failed to mount /sdcard (File Exists)" error, in the default recovery screen.
I've even flashed the .tar that should force conversion back to rfs format.
And here's another kicker, I can't seem to get the phone recognized by adb at any point in the process, so I can't even manually do it! Please help me figure this out.
Let me know if there is any other information you need, and keep in mind, I'm not new at this and I'm not afraid to do anything crazy.

After those kernel flashes are you able to boot into android?
If so have you turned on usb debugging and tried a master clear with odin one click?

I've not been able to get my phone to boot on any kernel, because /sdcard is "corrupted", and I can't install a rom via CWM, since I can't boot into CWM since /sdcard is "corrupted."

Try pulling your sim and booting

I've flashed different kernels and attempted to boot into stock or CWM with every combination of external SD and SIM card in or out.

I have the same problem, but nothing seems to correct it. Please tell me if you find the solution, i'll do the same.

Happened to me twice. You have to send your phone in to get it fixed. Your partition tables are probably screwed like mine were.

How much does it cost? Its gonna be a problem for me anyway since I live in Peru and bought the cellphone in Vancouver...

Did they tell you if they had to change the sdcard or the took it out and restore it?

Mobiletechvideos can possibly do it.
But I assume that you could restore a DD backup of partitions to resolve this.

Use one click to flash back to J6 and it should fix your problem. I had the exact same problem after I went to miui while I still had speedups kernel installed. I tried everything I could think of and this fixed it.

Yes, but it had another version of stock rom, I though j6 is the older version. Probably i'm the one confused because I'm new to android devices.

I would like to try to go back to 2.1 or 2.2, because 2.3 has a different partition file.

J6 is the original 2.1. It should fix your problem. You may have to do the 3-button fix afterwards though. I did.

How do I apply that fix?
