cause i have a fix for that i can PM you, but you its a flashable zip. So the problem with the sdcard slot not working.. you might have to look into how flashing things in fastboot. Which im not too savvy on.

I assume you're talking about the error 140 zip I pointed you towards recently, you should really put helpful links up in public threads so that others can find them and use them in the future. Here's the thread for whoever was asking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843544.

I had a great working rom of CG7. Everything was working great. Then I installed the Battery Icon mod 1.0
I rooted my phone with Z4root, and used the rom manager from clockworks to apply the CyanogenMod 7 rom.
I have ADB installed, but I can never get it to connect to my phone. I was about to give up when I found Z4root. The use of z4root and rom manager made it so simple.
I had it all working great, loving it.....
Then I mess it up with a battery widget.
I performed a backup of my stock rom from within rom manager, and it is saved on the sd card. I can't access it because of being stuck in a loop.
If I pull the card, and use an adapter I can read it on my laptop most likely. But what to read it with, to apply it back to the phone?
I have superoneclick installed, but don't see how to use it either...
But since it appears I half to use ADB and I have been having no luck with it, is there any other options for me to try?
I thought I could use some key command such as home plus power to bring up the commands to read my recovery, wipe data and restore but am not figuring it out.
Maybe I'm just freaking out since I'm going on no sleep, but can anyone please help an eager to learn noob out?
I'd really appreciate it. Apologies ahead of time if this is the wrong sub-forum, but it looked the closest for this topic.
Thanks,

dude first of all read the forum rules and watch your language no ones going to help u with that attitude. seconnd if u had bothered to look around first you would realize that there are about 50 threads on how to fix a boot loop.
Sorry for any bad language. I edited it out, sorry.
I had bothered to look around for about an hour, and all threads kept pointing me back to using ADB push commands which I haven't been having much luck with.
Do you know of a better way to fix a boot looping hero? Or can at least point me in the right direction, I can and am willing to learn more, but just keep running into the same answers.
Again, sorry about any language, but if you can spare a link in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
Have you tried pulling the battery and then restarting the phone by holding down the volume key ( down) and the power Burton at the same time? This will put you in the boot loader and if you push the" home" Burton that should put you into recovery. From there, wipe data, cache, system and either restore a backup ( IF you did a nandroid), or flash a new Rom.
Then, reboot.
You need to do lot more reading of different threads because you will see that bootloops are a common occurrence. Just because something is hero cdma does not mean it will work with your particular Rom. Battery mods are built for that specific Rom and that specific build ( like 5/23 aosp/cm7); a battery mod from April probably won't work.
Flashing IS a gateway drug!
Reflash cm7 and don't try the batt mod anymore.

As far as your adb issue. If you tap on my avatar you can find my thread on how to install adb on windows it might help you as you might just be having problem with the htc drivers. Also if you need help with installing it just pm me. And if you haven't figured out your bootloop problem hit me with a pm and if I can help I will. Good luck.

*hooray*
"holding down the volume key and the power Burton at the same time"
This did the trick this time, phew
This was the menu I was looking for. I reflashed my stock rom and all is well.
Then I just reflashed CM7 and will be avoiding the battery app. Lost all my settings because I hadn't backed up my CM7 rom (doh, live and learn)
Yes I can see that flashing IS a gateway drug! Once you get more comfortable and start understanding it, it is addictive to keep going further and further lol.
I'll keep messing with ADB, as I did get it to see the phone, just it has been 15 years since my days of messing with basically MS-DOS for all my command lines.
I was able to see the phone at one point but keep having trouble getting to the tools directory to start via DOS.
I'm hoping as I read more that maybe there is a better GUI for rooting and modifying other than ADB.
Thanks for the help, now I feel a little better equipped to go further.
Guys, Im tearing my hair out here. I have been all over the site for some for of comprehensive answer to my question, but everything I find is making me more confused. So please don't make any cynical "use the search" or "we don't search for you" comments. I am asking for help, not sarcasm. Surely this is the point in a Q&A forum?? They say you only get the right answer if you ask the right question, but I'm not sure what questions to ask. So, Now that's out of the way...here is my problem.
I am using GT I9000, and until last night I was using v2 Paranoid Android on Devil Kernel. I set it up initially with the help of a friend, but he is lost as far as getting this problem fixed...hence my capitulation to asking the forum.
I flashed what I thought was the latest PA Rom, but it turns out that it was the latest CM10, so yeah, you guessed it, wrong ROM. I am now caught in a bootloop and unable to get back into recovery in order to flash from zip, or to delete the data folder in order to get rid of the PA data to allow the boot to continue. I am using Clockwork Recovery, but cant get it fired up.
I saw that apparently I can delete data from within Odin, but I cant find out how to, so I then went to see about going down the root of reverting to stock and starting again, but I cant find a stock rom as I m getting an error 404 on the Samsung site and all the links I am finding for a stock rom are directing me there.
Also, when trying to revert, I have JW4, but I don't have the phone or bootloader for it and cat find them as I am not 100% of what I am looking for, and I am also unsure as to whether or not I am needing a pit file in order to re partition. But even when I revert I will be looking to reinstall Paranoid, so is this even necessary.
As you can see, I have a little knowledge, but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Right now I am looking at a flashing brick that is taunting me....If there is an easy way for me to get into clockwork recovery, I'm sure I can go from there, but I really I am at a loss, and cant think what questions I need to ask to rectify this situation.
Any help that I can get would be most appreciated...
Thanks

[edit] I have since posting this, taken the bricking to a stage further. I am now looking at a black screen with a fone and computer icon with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark between. I now have to go to stock....please help. I REALLY need to get my fone back in order... I needs it for work. Thanks again.
Hi, i tried to PM you but it seems i cannot send private messages yet.
anyway, you have the jw4 right? install it via odin and before that flas a root kernel for acces the recovery

I'ts a pleasure to help, im glad to see you have your phone working fine now
I followed the steps from this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258809
However, neither work. When I try to push the RUU to my phone, the image signature cannot be verified or something of the sort.
I have no OS on my phone but the bootloader is unlocked with twrp recovery. I need some help bad, finding a way to get anything on my phone so I can at least boot it back up. As of now I am out of ideas, Ive been trying for 5 hours. -_- Please help.
If anyone has a direct solution, they can send it to my email if they think they can communicate faster that way.
[email protected] Thank you so much!

Hey guys, I've been able to get back to stock using fastboot commands so I can install the new VZW update, but as a couple of threads on here have already pointed out, the system.img needed to go back to stock is too large to be flashed without being broken up... I can't use RSD light, as I only have access to a mac at home AND work (I know, I know... ). I've done a bunch of searching on here and it looks like my best bet is to use motofastboot, as it will break up the size of the file. I downloaded the 32 and 64bit motofastboot files but am kind of confused as what to do from there. When i execute the file it just gives me the list of the available fastboot commands, the same I've been using in "normal" fastboot this whole time, but beyond that I have to open a new window to type anything new and when I do I can still only use "normal" fastboot.
So, fastboot flash system system.img won't work for me, as the file is too large. For guys with macs, what command do I use to force moto-fastboot instead? I figure I have to do some preliminary commands to get my mac to understand moto fastboot, I just don't know what those commands are...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks so much in advance!

I'm sure that means you found the thread I posted on the topic. I was bored so i scrolled through the Q&A but for future reference, you can just post in that thread and I would have seen it and replied to you to help you out. If it didn't get resolved there. Then maybe you could post another thread. You can either pm me or post over in that thread and I can help you out. Also, explain what you mean by "beyond that I have to open a new window to type anything new."
