Just bought a used Bionic. VZW sent me a new sim card. When I boot it up, the images shown is what pops up. I have never seen this before on any phone. If I hit "search" to continue, it goes to welcome screen. Then when I touch Android to begin, it says to insert sim card, which is already inserted. If I hit "menu" to go to recovery, and in recovery I select "wipe data/factory reset", It does it's thing, and I'm right back to square one. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have a problem after flashing my MDA.
After any restarts, the telephone don't want to boot into OS.
Hard Reset, Soft reset, Take out battery all nothing happend.
I only see the "windows phone" picture and in the right bottom corner any numbers in 3 rows.
Can I boot the fon with SD Card and reflash it?
Try removing the SD and booting "corrupt SD can stop boot" if not then:
Get into bootloader flash stock ROM.
Hold in camera keep hold and press stylus in reset whole hold.
Can be via USB or SD but i always use SD to flash.
Yes thanks,
5minutes ago, I found a thread like your answer.
It function. Thanks a lot
I'm running Cyanogen 7.01 and after my phone crashed yesterday, it is now stuck on the white clearstorage screen every time I turn it on (the one with three skateboarding androids).
I've tried lots of things to get to a point where I can install a new ROM (I have my stuff backed up) and wipe this old one. But, no dice. Here is what I've done:
1) The clearstorage screen asks if I want to delete user data. If I select no, the screen turns off and then takes me back to the clearstorage screen. If I select yes, it reads "Clear..." then quickly flashes "Press MENU to restart" before rebooting into the clearstorage screen again. If I hold the menu button down while the screen reads "Clear..." the phone boots into the HTC screen indefinitely (I waited 45 min).
2) I tried getting into the bootloader screen (Volume down key and power). Took me to the clearstorage screen.
3) I tried getting into Fastboot. Took me to the clearstorage screen.
4) Holding the key combo for a hard reset takes me to the clearstorage screen.
5) Holding the key combo for a factory reset me to the clearstorage screen.
6) I tried pulling out the SD card during boot and while in the clearstorage screen. No dice.
So, I'm not sure what my other options are. I can't get to the phone via my computer's command line since my computer can't detect my phone when it's in this state.
Thanks so much for reading this and for any help you can offer.

I thought the 3 skateboarding androids was the boot screen? What does it say on the screen? If it shows that if you hit "home" button it will take you to recovery. It should say H-boot on there I believe.
If it does, press the home button and not the menu button, and that should take you into recovery where you can wipe everything and restore your nandroid or install a new rom.
Or power off, then hold home press power. Recovery?
BANG! from my shooter...
Kudos to both of you guys for the responses.
I've actually been able to get to recovery by (duh) holding the home and power key down until I get the recovery screen.
However, after wiping the user data, cache, and davlik cache and installing a new ROM rebooting, I still get back the clearstorage screen.
I've tried to install a few different RUUs from the recovery screen and I get a message along the lines of "[RUU file] is bad. Cannot install"
It's most bizarre.
At this point I've got my data backed up to my computer and will do whatever to unbrick this phone.
Thanks again for all your help!

What recovery are you using? If it's clockwork, go into mounts and storage and format system, boot, cache, data 3x each. Yes, I said 3x. Then, try and flash something besides an ruu. Many of those are to use as a HERCIMG.zip, not to flash in recovery. Judd you want to go to a sense 2.1 rom, try an nfx one or something ( at least to see of it works and you can update prl and other things too. Or, reinstall another gb Rom. I don't know I'd you are trying to get back to stock to take back or something. I say, get it working, then look for a flashable ruu from recovery.

This is an executable HTC RUU that is to be run from your PC. Hook your phone up via the USB. Then double click the RUU on your PC. Follow the instructions. It will set your phone back to 2.27.651.6 and will be unrooted.
also, this may seem stupid, but if you were going from aosp to sense or vice versa, reflash your recovery first.
I'm having a small question about the stock recovery ROM behaviour of the GT-P1000.
When I boot it into the ROM (power+volup) and I select the wipe cache or wipe data (factory reset) using the home-button it always shows me the android with exclamation mark triangle or the android with a box and an arrow out of it. I can leave it for hours but nothing happens. I tried a device in the store and it does the same. What is the deal of this screen? Why does pressing home again sometimes start the selected action, and why sometimes nothing happens?
Thanks a lot!
Usually when you do anything in recovery mode like wipe/factory reset it should come up with a running text saying thinks like
Wiping /system
Wiling /data
Etc.
Once its done it should put you back in the main menu or press back arrow.
Side note if you press home key it hides/shows the text on the screen. Atleast i think that's what your asking

Well, I do understand that, but, the process is not always started.
So, I start the recovery mode, select factory reset, press select and then the android with triangle and exclamation mark is shown and nothing is started at all.
If I press select again, sometimes the process is started so the tab starts resetting, and sometimes it simply goes back to the main screen showing all options again but nothing happened.
This behaviour of the recovery feels just strange to me so thats why I ask if anyone else has this happening

Hi,
About time to flash another ROM then You're still on the restricted Samsung edition of CWM. I can erecommend to take a look at the AF974-thread in the DEV-section
Cheers, and H N-Y
Here's what I did.
1) performed factory data wipe in TWRP
2) Installed all three .zip files, ROM, gapps, and lgapps, all said successful
3) dalvik/cache wipe
4) tried to boot.
When I try to boot my phone, I get the LG splash screen for a split second, then just a black screen. I cannot boot into recovery. I can get it into download mode by holding the power button, then waiting for the screen to go off, and holding volume up and plugging in the usb cable quickly before it goes to the lg splash screen. The problem is once I'm there, it goes to a "firmware update" screen which won't progress no matter how long I wait. My computer also won't correctly detect my phone. If in download mode, it won't detect it at all. If I just boot, it pulls up "local drive" E all the way to R and asks me to format each one. When I try to access E:, it tells me that the parameter is wrong. All the others simply ask to be formatted.
Please help. I probably shouldn't have messed with my phone in the first place. I thought I'd done it right, but I guess not

I might have the solution. You will need Ubuntu/ any other distribution that you want.
Try this, with these files.
Best of luck, hope you can fix this issue!

When you're in download mode, of course it won't progress because it's waiting for you to push an update.
You can use the lg flash tool to. Tot back to 11a from download mode.
However, I had a similar issue as yours and after asking more questions I was able to get back to recovery. The button sequence is tricky when you can't power your phone all the way off, but it can be done. Keep trying or just tot back from download mode.

I was attempting to install a ROM, and CWM gave me several errors about not being able to mount partitions. So, I rebooted and went into "mounts and storage", mounted the partitions, and tried again. This time, it got to about 100% and then crashed.
When I rebooted into CWM, I got a bunch of errors about not being able to locate files, and I couldn't access any menus. So, I shut it down.
Now, when I boot it up, it goes to the Cyanoboot screen and then powers off. When I try to boot into recovery, it just gives me a black screen.

try a hard factory reset and then once you are sure its working fine
you can install another o/s and maybe use a different sd card as that one may be corrupt.
1 press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to turn off the nook
2. press and hold the power button, and then press and the home key while still holding the power button down.
the screen will flash and then the message "touch the future of reading" appears. The message disappears and the factory reset prompt appears.
3. press the home key to execute the factory reset. a confirmation screen will appear
4. press the home key again to confirm, the nook will be deregistered from Barnes&Nobles and original factory settings are restored..
if you've blown away the original factory settings you may need to download a new copy and load it onto an sd card (suggest a known good sd card)
and reload it.
good luck
Thanks! I've been able to get it back to stock, but I can't get a ROM installed. It either gives me a status 0 or status 7 error, or it hangs at the Cyanoboot screen and then eventually reverts to stock and sends me back to the "Hello, welcome to your NOOK" screen.
I've spent several hours going through XDA threads and various tutorials around the web, and nothing I do works. I've rooted and installed ROMs on three phones and two other Nooks (an original color and an HD+), and those all worked fine, but somehow this HD (hummingbird) manages to thwart all of my efforts. What really drives me crazy is that all of the tutorials make it look so easy, but when I try to do the same thing, it fails!
I think it might be a problem with the recovery. If I could just get that installed, then maybe it wouldn't be able to revert to stock anymore. But whenever I install a recovery, I get the same thing: it gets stuck on the Cyanoboot screen.
