so i did the 1-click rooting thing BUT the problem is that i wasnt supposed to let my phone reboot into normal mode and that caused the process to become undone. now, when trying to boot into recovery, i get the exclamation mark with the 3 options. please help me @[email protected] i'd rerun the recovery flasher program BUT my phone was wiped too and i cant get past the gmail screen. i have no data plan
android reflashed my recovery partition with the built-in backup DDDDDDDDDD:
If you get a recovery image when pressing home and end than youhave a recovery just boot a rooted rom like cyan's in and you will be good to go, you can acess your sd on a computer by going into recoverey console and typing ums_enable to mount your sd and ums_diable to unmount
i dont think i can, because my phone rebooted into normal mode and android reflashed my recovery partition with the built-in backup, so i dont get the usual recovery mode screen. i have the exclamation markw here you have to press alt+L and theres only options to wipe, install the update.zip and reboot.
Alright then you will need to find a way to acess your card like another phone or card reader if you can not get past that, once you can read, download a rom and rename it update.zip, if you are windows it hides the extension so just rename to update, by the way how did you get the orignal recovery if you used the one click witch flashes cm recovery 1.4 were you have a lot more options and don't have to hit alt-whatever
i did use flash cm recovery. but like it said, after rebooting into normal mode on accident, android reflashed my recovery partition. i wouldve had the screen with more options if that hadent happened. and i wiped too, so i couldnt access the phone due to being locked out because of the stupid log in screen. by the way, do you know how to get past it without another sim and data plan?
The recovery image is immune to wipes and partion cleaning, it is deep in the sif you get acess to your sd and put a rom on there ystem, without an adp phone, there really no way past that login without a custom rom, yes painif in the ass, try another sim get into phone and reflash the recovery to go any farther, once you have cm recovery 1.4 than you can really go, if you can put a rom on your sd before reflashing recovery and you can not get it go past the recovey that you are on now than you do not have permission and you are not rooted
Ok so I have an unlocked Nexus One that I rooted when I first got the phone 6 months ago. I've been running CM6 no problems at all, everything has been great.
Heres where my problem starts I decided to flash the stock frf91 image onto the phone and did not check superuser permissions or whatever option they gave me before i did it. I was doing this because I thought I was selling my phone. Now I'm not and want to go back to CM6.
The problem is I cant get into recovery at all I get the error with the ! in a triangle with android standing next to it. I've searched everywhere and tried everything. Fastboot and ADB gives me errors like waiting for device (even though my drivers are up to date and it recognizes the phone?) or status failed too many links.
I tried doing a backup from my nandroid information through my nandroid backups on my computer (aka pulling system.img etc) I tried going through the terminal but Im getting denied superuser permissions.
Im just not sure where to go from here ive looked through so many articles and threads and posts and im very confused.
After I flashed the stock image I thought i would still be able to boot into recovery but i guess i dont have recovery? I try to flash the recovery but with no avail.
Anyone have any advice or even just somewhere to start I would really appreciate it. Thanks
When u flashed the stock rom it wasnt a rooted version so u have the stock recovery search for how to root the stock Rom once rooted u can put a custom recovery on there hope this helps
The procedures for the different handsets kind of blur together in my memory, so just want to check.
When you booted into recovery and got the "!" screen with the android did you try holding either the volume up, or volume down key <along with the power button> to bring up the menu?
The ! With the Android is the stock recovery image if I remember correctly if u press the power button the menu should pop up
2 nights ago I thought I would have a go at installing ULTIMATE ROM 3.0. I have flashed many Roms on my Galaxy S before and not had a problem yet. I have ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.0 installed.
However, this time- something went wrong. I don't think the installation completed properly. When I tried to reboot the system (to go back into my previous ROM) I wasn't able to. The Samsung logo appeared before the phone booted back into Recovery mode.
I tried to re-flash my previous working update.zip but had problems. I wasn't able to properly re-flash as the Installation would abort for various reasons. After doing cache clearing and data/factory reset I still had no luck. I resorted to reformatting the sdcard. Still didn't solve the flashing problem.
Throughout the whole time I was able to adb into the phone, browse the file system and I could push files on to it and take files off. But Kies wouldn't recognise the phone and Odin isn't able to complete a transfer to the phone (not sure why).
Today, I am able to successfully flash update.zip files (at least, that's what it looks like) but the phone ALWAYS boots into ClockwordMod recovery.
I am fast running out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestion?
How can I tell if my ROMs are really 'there' but I can't access them because ClockworkMod is preventing them from booting?
hmmm... me too.. stuck in a loop, that keeps going back to the CWM recovery menu, and no matter what i do, keeps going back to it... cant even get to the download screen to flash (again).... here i was thinking no matter what happens when installing custom roms, i can always flash to my stable secure rom, but not this time... need some software that can perform surgical operations, any suggestions?

Thats too bad guys,and i m sorry to hear that news.I would like to havean answer but i dont...
The fact is that since most people in this forum use some custom roms,and all of us think the same,that we can always go back,so it would be great if you give some more details about what happened to you,and mybe why it went wrong,and it would be even better if one of the BIG guys would give some explanation about this...
I already thinking of not updating my rom anymore,dot want to end up in looping too,so lets see if someone will find something.Good luck guys..
By the way,i didnt get it right,CWM recovery cannot load your backup????
I just got an idea,but not sure if or how it would work or not.
Since you can push file with ADB,if soeone made a clean backup with his CWM (o e mail,contacts,setting saved) and send it to you,so that you log in with CWM recovery and flash that ???
Just an idea..maybe stupid dont know...
Its not very clear if youve tried this already but cant you just boot into recovery through adb? or does that not work either?
OK, to keep things short: Tried flashing a new firmware rom, wouldn't work, kept rebooting (tried multiple times and yes I did wipe and everything). Tried to flash a new recovery rom so I could try flashing the firmware again. It said everything went correctly, except it decided to delete my recovery and not flash the new one. So what I'm left with is no firmware, no recovery, and a bootloader/fastboot that wont allow my usb to be recognized. Anything I can do?

So when turn your phone on, what does the screen show? Is the screen white or does it show the triangle box and phone? If you can get into fastboot you should be able to flash from your SD card if you can get ahold of a properly signed update.zip. Need some more information to help.
If I boot the phone regularly it will keep booting the HTC screen, but yes, I can boot into fastboot but my computer won't recognize the USB.
You probably flashed an overclocked recovery and rom and your phone can't do it. Try clockwork 2501 and then your rom and gapps and a capped 691 kernel. Are you trying to get gingerbread? If you try these steps and it still won't work got to the live help link in the GB thread.

I tried to flash the clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 and the new gingerbread aospCMod. The problem is that I cant get my phone to show up on the computer through the USB so I can't really flash anything or put anything on the sd card.

I bricked my CDMA Hero. I rooted it with the super one click, and installed a early version of froyo, and had some issues with it. I wanted to get it off, so I used CWM recovery, and formatted everything. Now when I turn it on it goes to the HTC opening screen, and stays there for hours until the battery dies. It will charge, but my computer doesn't recognize it, and it will not boot. What can I do?
Bricked means it is a brick and that is it, your phone still turns on so the good news is that it is not bricked.
Need some more info before anyone can help:
1. You reformatted everything using clockwork recovery
2. Did you re-install a new ROM?
3. Did you restore a nandroid backup?
I would recommend booting into recovery and wiping everything (factory reset and dalvik-cache) in recovery, then reinstall froyo - once you are booted and running you can figure out what you want to put on it. At least your phone would work then.

Just what Heaterz16 said...
I'm also pretty sure your phone isn't bricked, as long as you can still get into Recovery, it Most Likely can be Fixed!
I also Recommend trying to Wipe Everything, then Reinstalling a New Rom, Also as a Suggestion... If it were me I'd Probably Choose a Different ROM to install! My Very First ROM I Flashed was a Cyanogen one, and I had Trouble with it Booting Also!!
Try LiquidSense... its Only 2.1, but its Stable, It Boots Fast, and just plain out Fast as Hell!
You can always Switch to Whatever you want... Once you get your phone back to a Working Condition!
Good Luck!

I cannot get it into recovery now. It will turn on, but it stops at the initial HTC screen, and stays there until the battery dies. When I connect my phone with my computer, the computer recognizes it, but I can't seem to get the 2.1 exe from HTC.com download to the phone. My guess is I wiped the thing clean. Unfortuneately, I didn't back anything up.
I can't even get into recovery, it just sits on the HTC startup screen until the battery dies. It does recognize when I connect it to my computer, but running the 2.1 exe doesn't do anything.
Can you adb into the phone and flash a recovery?
I think that would be a helpful start.

Pull the battery, hold volume down and power and you should boot into bootloader. I believe it is *home* to get you back into recovery. Then reinstall a new rom and you should be good to go.

t-y, got it. Yeah, then adb a new recovery image may be the only thing. But he may not even be able to get in then.
Just a matter of waiting right now.
He did say his computer was recognizing his device, so he might be ok.
If he can flash a new recovery, or even just adb.. then he can start rebuilding it.
stonemad:
You'll want to grab a recovery, and try to connect to your phone via ADB when it's on.
Then do adb shell
then : flash_image recover [name of recovery].img
let us know
Ok, I can get to the CWM recovery, there is no backup files, no recovery files, and no files on my sd card. I cannot seem to get an opperating system on. I mounted my phone to my computer and downloaded .zip files, but it still says no files available.
How do I flash a recovery, I can't find any files anywhere.
i have .zip files on my sd card to flash, but when I try to apply them it says no files found.
Ok, I have been working on this all day. Thank you to every body who answered. This is the situation as best as I see it. I can use the power and the down volume buttons to go to recovery mode. I have ClockworkMod 2.5 and can mount my computer to my sd card. It appears that I don't have an opperating system at all, or anything else on the phone. I have downloaded several .zip files and tried to install them, I can mount them, but when I try to apply them it states that there are no update.zip files on the sd card. I have deduced that I need an opperating system for an update to work, but I could be wrong. I am having a hard time finding the right files to use to get my phone to go. It seems salvageable, but I'm not sure how. People have sugested a couple of Mods to instal, but I don't know how to do that with what I have. CWM is asking for a update.zip, or a recovery.zip, but I don't know wich one at which time, or even how to get it to flash. That is what I think I know, but that is subject to change depening on what you all know.(showing just how foolish I really am) Thanks again people for you time and advice, I really do appreciate it.
Don't select "install update.zip", select "install zip from SD card" or whatever the option is called.
I've tried that too, it seems like all the software is gone. HTC, Sprint, Google, and Android. Does anybody have a download they think will work. I'm at the point to try anything.

What software are you talking about? Sprint, Google, and Android what, specifically? A download for what?
Mount usb storage in recovery, put rom of your choice on there, and flash?
what about kernals, how do I know that I have everything I need?
ROMs generally have kernels in the zip builds already. From the sounds of it, you're kind of lost at what you're doing.
Do you have a SD card reader? if so, plug in the SD card to your computer and pull over a ROM zip, like Cyanogenmod or whatever is to your liking.
Then in recovery, go to "install zip from sdcard"
go to "Choose zip from sdcard"
then search for the ROM zip you put on the sd card.
State exactly STEP BY STEP, what you are doing. Your phone is perfectly fine, you just dont have a ROM on your phone, which is why you cant boot. You're not missing kernels, or anything, you simply dont have the baseline of a ROM on your phone yet.

I don't know where or how to find a rom, I have heard good things about cyanogen, but can't seem to find where to download it. Is ClockworkMod a rom, and if so how do I use it. You're right, I got way in over my head, and now I just want my phone back the way I bought it. What is your favorite rom, and can you give me a link. Thanks again everyone.
