After uninstalling astrid task manager my phone rebooted then started to boot loop (g1 screen then reboot).
I went into cyanogens recovery image (1.3.1) and I get E: Can't open CACHE. I can't do anything it's just stuck at this to reboot I have to take the battery out.
From what I've read I should be able to reformat my sd card and then it should work. Is this true? Assuming it does will I have to reapply the cyanogenmod image to get my phone working again?
Only problem is that I can't get XP or Win 7 to recognise the sd card anymore. I *should* be getting a new one tomorrow though.
I still have access through adb is there anything I can do before I get a new sd card?
I'm running:
HardSPL + Latest radio
Cyanogens Recovery Image 1.3.1
Cyanogens Mod 1.3.6.1
Update - I can get in via adb definitley now, I can mount the sd card and all the files are still there but I still have no idea how to recover to a workable phone.

So recovery mode isn't starting at all? Try booting the phone without the SD card in. It might give you a lot of errors, but might be able to get you to boot in the first place. That's first priority.

I can get into recovery mode but the only command that works is Alt + L.
I don't have my phone on me because I'm at work but will try it later tonight.
Thank you very much!
Try to do a wipe. Alt+w. If that doesnt work i suggest getting into fastboot and flashing the cyanogen recovery image 1.3.1. Instruction are in the thread for fastboot. To get into fastboot press (Camera + Power) if that doesnt work try (Back + Power).
I tried to do a wipe but no luck.
Is fastboot the three skateboarding android guys I've heard of?
At the moment I'm just trying to get a lot of information so when I go home I can make a start at fixing it.
So far I really love the attittude of people on the forum, it's pretty awesome.
Argh when I try to boot into fastboot I just get the normal tricolour screen and not 3 android skating guys.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the hardspl btw
OK so I've done some more reading, I apparently need the engineering spl for fastboot. Which is ok but I can't get the recovery console to work to flash a new spl. This is really frustrating.
Arg so according to the spl thread I have the stock spl which sucks because I could have sworn I used the hardspl, I have the files on my hdd for gods sake. So now if I'm correct I'm ****ed. I looked over the Hayuko guide I used and it definitely said HardSPL (http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cach...=35&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a).
I'm stuck now.
Last post before I go to bed. I hope someone can help. If I don't hear anything then I'm off to t-mobile to see if I can get a new phone. If they can't then it's off to ebay.
You'll need the engineering spl or hard spl to flash a rom have you ever flashed a modified rom. Or are you stock. Do you have a2sd. I would imagine if your able to get to fastboot or some kinda recovery your not bricked. You can get an insurance replacement and use that phone as a test phone. Its fixable, need some more info.

I figured out what happened. I updated to the latest radio which pretty much reset my spl.
My SPL is now stock but still working, recovery image isn't though, main os isn't either.
Is it possible to flash Hard SPL from the normal SPL.
Try putting DREAIMG.nbh at the root of your sdcard and go into your spl and flash it.

Succesful now booting into android

I can get into android but it keeps rebooting.
You said a few posts back you have adb setup, what does logcat say is goin on when it reboots.

Your computer is probably not reading it because it's may not be assigned a drive letter. Try this... Go to control panel...Administrative tools...Computer management...Disk management...scroll down until you see your sd card partition. Right click on it and there should be something there that says assign a drive letter. Maybe this could help.

I bricked my hero trying to flash gingerbread. Either because i didn't flash a kernel or i might have overlooked something i should've read. But my phone bricked. Long story but i ended up having to put my sdcard in a friends phone and formatting it, then downloaded something i found on G1 forum and dropped it on my sdcard (not smart i know). Then i took my sdcard out of his phone with that file on it and put it back in mine. Whatever that file was allowed me to now be able to boot into my recovery again/HBOOT&Fastboot. But i CANNOT boot past recovery. I didn't have a nandroid backup anymore since i formatted so i grabbed a 2.1 ROM off of here, something stable, and figured i could drop it on the sdcard and flash it. but nothing. Either it's not completely flashing the ROM, or sometimes it aborts it. So i tried a cm6 ROM. Same thing. It won't flash ANYTHING. Could my recovery have gotten damaged when i formatted my sdcard? i'm using clockworkmods 2.5. I'm on a mac that i recently had to factory reset. i downloaded sdk last night to try to manually install a different recovery. but i can't use htc sync since it's for pc. so i found a another program that will replace htc sync, but i still can't sync because i have to enable usb debugging for it to sync to my phone. and i don't know how to enable usb debugging from recovery. It has blown my mind. i have no idea what to try anynore. If anyone can help out at ALL. please do.
Try going into recovery and going into the partitions menu.
Inside that menu, format the system before you flash another ROM.
Factory reset skips over the /system file.
Try that and let me know what happens.
(I'm assuming you dont have data or anything since you factory resetted)
I guess. Disclaimer: this deletes data
hmm.
Okay so i booted into recovery.
Did a full wipe even though there isn't anything to wipe.
Then formatted the system.
Then installed zip.
Then Reboot system now.
I gave it 15 minutes just to be sure, and it never left the boot logo.
Again like i said it isn't completely flashing the ROM.
It unzips it and gets to where it says "installing package"
and just stops.
From the time i select the zip file that i want to flash, till the time that it says it's done, takes maybe 5 seconds.
That's why i thinking it's my recovery. It might be damaged or something.
If there was a way to enable usb debugging from clockworks recovery then i could manually install a different recovery. butt... i'm getting no where.
Get to a PC 1st and foremost. Go to the HTC website and download the RUU stock. Nevermind about adk and USB yet. You need to be back to stock to have a clean backup again. Once you have downloaded the stock rom be patient and charge the phone beforehand. Hopefully this gets you to stock again. Google Z4root, download and place in the root of the SD. In the market get an apk installer an install Z4. After run Z4 for root. Download and install clockwork after that and make sure you flash the recovery at the top before backing up. Then after that try installing 2.3 but let me know which rom you are trying to use. The one I have needed an different version of clockwork so read carefully. Hope this helps.
mmm a Gingerbread SuperHero....
Also redownload the rom. Could be a bad download.
mmm a Gingerbread SuperHero....
okay i'm going to try that. it's been so long since i've downloaded an RUU or Rooted. Can i flash the RUU like any other? will it be a zip file? Because back when i rooted and had to download the RUU before i could root, i think i installed it using htc sync. But my phone can only be recognized as a storage device. Since i cant enable debugging. I'll see what happens cause the only way i can think to get the stock ROM on there is to flash it. But seeings as how nothing else in the world is completely flashing i might stumble.
It's definitely not the ROMs i've tried like 5 or 6. Three of them being one's i've recently had on there. Oh and I didn't think there was but one Gingerbread ROM out for the hero. And was it the 3.0 clockworkmod? Cause that's what i skipped over thinking it was just extra, Since i had just updated my clockworkmod in ROM manager to 2.5
Wait if i go back to stock. isn't there a chance of loosing root forever?

I "Had" a Similar Problem...
What worked for me was 1 of the 2?
Because I did Both Steps, I'm not really sure what actually fixed it, but all I cared about was it being fixed! With that said, try this!!
1st thing I did was Reflash the Radio, 2.42.02.10.29.zip
2nd thing I did was Wipe Everything, then Flash a New Kernel "I Used Deca's #43" If that Doesn't Work Try DecaFuct #589!
Hope this Helps!
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Okay i'll try that! Because i can't even go back to stock since i can't sync with any computer. Because i can't enable usb debugging. Unless there is a way to flash a stock RUU.. i even tried different things in fastboot but it didn't work apparently because of usb debugging. (that's what someone else said). But I will try that and I'll let you know how it goes!
That didn't work either.
Are you using Windows XP to get all this done? I would try finding a PC that has Vista. Or try another PC all together. IDK, just a thought, give it shot, you don't have anything to lose. I wish you luck my friend.
You definitely need the 3.whatever clockwork flash that goes with the gingerbread that's posted here. Clockwork turns orange once its done right. Also don't use setcpu. Adw fc's a lot with it. But that's for later info. For now..
If your able to get into recovery you can save yourself. Rooting again is very one click simple with Z4 in my first post. You need a stock rom to save yourself now though. GET TO A WINDOWS COMPUTER at least with Vista but works great with 7.

LOL I still tell my 18 yo boy that everyday.
lmao! Damn kids
Best bet is to get to a Windows computer, preferably Windows 7. Plug it by USB and you need to get the drivers working for Sync to work at all and get USB debugging back on your phone. Leave the phone off before plugging it in. Plug it in and if the amber light comes on, if so turn on the phone and windows should give a USB notification and try to install drivers. This needs to happen if you want to get back to stock. And you do want back to stock to backup to in case you ever need to take it back to Sprint. They will flag your phone/account so you can't take it anywhere if you show them it's been rooted or custom rom anything. Z4 will also let you unroot the phone to do this.
If all else, I'd try flashing a different rom all together REMEMBER TO WIPE 1ST! then flash the rom. Maybe this will get it to fully install and enable usb, which the 1st thing I'd do when you get going again is get back to stock, root, and backup right away. Hopefully something works for you but let us know please. I'm pretty intrested in how this turns out for you and maybe can help others in this type of case.
Guys please read what all i've said before posting. I'm not completely stupid. i've tried flashing more than just one rom. i tried flashing about 6 roms, a radio, an two different kernels. Nothing flashes. no yellow progress bar... i have a bad recovery. And i can't go back to stock or manually install a new recovery or anything that includes htc sync because i can't enable usb debugging.. i've tried on a windows 7 computer, and have htc sync on it.
If you cant flash anything in recovery, nor can you enable usb debugging. (to convert to stock, or fastboot intalling, or manual intalling, adb, ect... ) then what am i supposed to do?
I think i'm the first person in the world to have this problem on a hero.

haha if you turn it on while it's plugged in, it goes into fastboot usb. Which i tried running commands but like i said.. there's no way to enable debugging so i get "device not found" in return on cmd.
Hey Karrma, go to this post and try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8551240&highlight=hercimg.zip#post8551240
It worked for me after I borked my hero and couldn't do anything but fastboot.
Hope it works for you.
I was on Continuum and decided to flash back to stock. Of course Odin would freeze, forcing me to break out my jig.
I finally got it into download mode and flashed back to stock
I used SuperOneClick (like I have so many times before) to root and enable non-market installations
Well, it rooted just fine, but I couldn't enable the non-market stuff, it says "reloc_library[1251]: 2738 cannot locate '_ZNK7android6Parcel15setDataPositionEj'... CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
I cant get my captivate into recovery through 3-button boot, and ROM manager is completely unresponsive. When I click "reboot into recovery" it just does nothing. Same with installing a rom, or restoring a back-up. Any ideas?
Hmmm... It sounds like you might need to reflash the phone...
Can you try this alternate method to put your phone into Download Mode?
1. Turn off your phone, pull out the battery.
2. Hold both volume UP and DOWN buttoms (and keep holding them until the end).
3. Put in your battery.
4. Plug in the USB. (You won't need to ever press the power button using this method).
If that doesn't work, you might need to get a USB Jig somewhere (either buying one or making one yourself).
this can help, 3 button fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812434

well if you're on stock you can't enable non market app it's not included in the package plain and simple. but if you can push update zip into your internal sd and flash cwm recovery you maybe able to flash an app apk's there. the problem is you have unresponsive button combos. solve the button combos first. you will likely need a jig or if you can get into download mode try installing the leaked froyo maybe it will solve your unresponsive buttons.
Well i rebooted today and when i turned the phone back omn i kept getting android.process.acore has stopped working over and over again so i cannot use my phone.
I tried booting the phone to recovery but it just freezes on the LG logo i help down the down volume button and held the power button to do this, i installed clockworkmod using the rom manager and it worked fine then why isnt it working now wtf use is a recovery if it doesnt work when its needed.
I was using the stock rom v10d.
Ok just as i posted that i managed to get into the recovery but there isnt much i can do to fix an issue that came from absolutely no where, i tried clearing the dalvik cache and fixing permissions and then rebooted and now i dont get that process.acore force close but now there is no writing on any of my menu options at all my icons look wrong and also have no writing on them.
Well, if any attempt for recovering the phone the working state fails, you should be able to download a program called nvflash and flash original rom again Just look around here, you'll find everything you need
yeah try this here, think it fixes 99.9% of problems

just like few others said use nvflash. also be careful what you freeze or root uninstall. The lg crap u may think u don't need might be a hooked to the kernel or may have a dependent process.
just flash your rom again wouldve been an easier fix i guess.

If you read my post you would have read thats exactly what i did, i just wanted to avoid doing that because id lose all my data and i did...
I have an HTC once M8 HK edition. Running the philz version of cwm. I tried to install a wifi hotspot enabling zip file and this caused my device to be unable to access the sprint LTE network at all. since the .zip was flashed, the factory data reset through cwm wont fix the problem. I tried reinstalling the rom but now cannot get past the HTC dev only startup screen. Fastboot/ recovery options are however still accessible. I think the problem could be easily solved by flashing a backup via sdcard. However, I do not have a working backup for cwm. If someone has a solution or a backup I could use that would put me back to cwm stock that would be awesome!
Hold power+volume up. When the screen goes black release power+volume up and hold the volume down button until the bootloader menu appears. Load a ROM onto your SD card, then boot into recovery from the bootloader menu. Reflash your ROM.

oh sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm also having an issue because since i updated my computer to windows 8.1 my htc drivers are no longer working to allow usb debugging. So far I'm having to operate purely from an sdcard. Is it possible to flash a twrp or a stock rom from an sd card and if so could you walk me through it? I've tried finding updated drivers, but cannot find a working link. Im currently downloading the odexed hk rom from androidcentral to see if that fixes things.

Download correct recovery.img from Teamwin then find the correct android.txt and zip the two in a folder which you will name 0P6BIMG put on root of external sdcard and boot to bootloader, itll recognize the zip folder and ask you to update, press vol up to update it, reboot phone, remove zip from external sdcard and then boot to recovery

oh sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm also having an issue because since i updated my computer to windows 8.1 my htc drivers are no longer working to allow usb debugging. So far I'm having to operate purely from an sdcard. Is it possible to flash a twrp or a stock rom from an sd card and if so could you walk me through it? I've tried finding updated drivers, but cannot find a working link. Im currently downloading the odexed hk rom from androidcentral to see if that fixes things.

These are the drivers I use and recommend.
I would be kinda leary of using roms from another site...not because they might be bad but because you will most likely get better support here on XDA if something goes wrong.

I have an HTC once M8 HK edition. Running the philz version of cwm. I tried to install a wifi hotspot enabling zip file and this caused my device to be unable to access the sprint LTE network at all. since the .zip was flashed, the factory data reset through cwm wont fix the problem. I tried reinstalling the rom but now cannot get past the HTC dev only startup screen. Fastboot/ recovery options are however still accessible. I think the problem could be easily solved by flashing a backup via sdcard. However, I do not have a working backup for cwm. If someone has a solution or a backup I could use that would put me back to cwm stock that would be awesome!

First off are you s-off? If you're s-on I know what your problem is.
Secondly the recovery of your choice is fine. It's highly unlikely that that is the cause of the issue.

I managed to get a version of 4.4.4 installed via sdcard but it is not a good version. it still has a lot of quirks. namely
it stays on the "htc powered by android" screen until it fully boots and you unlock it (which is rather difficult as it is on the wrong screen) and then the screen times out (it does not allow you to manually shut off the screen with the power button until first timeout). After the timeout everything is normal from what I can see barring that the wifi will not turn. Also I believe I am s-off.

Sounds like you need to update your firmware to the latest version, along with your Hboot.

Thank you guys so much for your patience. I have confirmed that I am s-on (thought I went s-off but I guess I never got around to it). I've downloaded the firmware you recommended. I will be switching to s-off and updating hboot/ firmware within the next few days. Hopefully that fixes things. Thanks again!
