rooting issues

so I tried to Root my Dream and choose after a number of failed attempts I have decided to just give up so I want to wipe and restore my phone's OS the factory but when I try though the settings menu the phone restarts then just sits on the "Rodgers" logo for ever so is there anyway to fix that?

Don't give up so soon
I definitely recommend rooting. The rogers firmware sucks by default imo. I did not like my phone at all until I rooted.
Check this guide by HyeProfile, I just used it on a new rogers dream and it worked 100%:

If you really don't want to root, you can follow the steps to try flashing (using the same instructions he gives in that post) with the official rogers radio.img and recovery.img here: http://www.stevebirstok.com/android/losemyroot.zip

well I hate how slow my phone feels so I'm going in for the root again thanks for the push to try again.

ok ran into an issue:
Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file of directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted

that means it can't see your sdcard.
see if dropping into the recovery console(alt+x) and typing
Code:
mount /sdcard
recovery
see if that helps anything since that command will mount your sdcard which it appears to be failing to read.

when I try enter the console all the options are removed form the screen then nothing happens all I see is the yellow text.
The yellow text I'm talking about is the error message I posted.

if you are trying to unroot it, use the same rc package that you use to downgrade it in the bootloader (camera and power) and run the .nbh there

Are you sure your sdcard is formatted to FAT32?

I'm going o try that when I get home

ok so it's weird.
E:Multiple firmware images
E:can't store hboot images
E:failure at line 1
write_hboot_image PACKAGE:hboot.img
install aborted
ok so now it just sits on the "Rogers" logo and wont enter any mode (camara+power)
edit: looks like that means I biked the thing hope they will replace it (i'll just blame it on their firmware update thing)
edit2: calling rogers to try get a replacement

will it it read an .nbh in the bootloader?

I don't know how can I test that or see if it will?

I was refering to the dreaimg.nbh from either rc29 or rc7 that you use to downgrade your phone in order to root it, that use the bootloader camera + power

no it wont enter any mode at all just sits on the rogers logo so a new phone should show up in the next 3 to 5 days

this kinda scares me off from trying again but I want to so I might.

got a all new phone and it still wont mount the Sd card like last time

ok so i helped some one root their rogers phone last night. are you trying to flash the radio, or have you followed all of the fastboot commands in the "rogers heres your real root" thread? the guy i was helping couldn't flash the radio but we got it with the fastboot commands

no I'm past loading recovery.img with fastboot and I'm trying to apply the update.zip

thats very odd. so you did all the fastboot commands and still can't get it to work?
is it any rom you try to flash?

well I was following the guide in one of the first posts

HELP HELP HELP

Not sure how much help This will be but I did my device for the weekend. I used Open Recover 3.3 from bellow
Instructions: http://androidforums.com/milestone-...date-milestone-android-2-3-3-instruction.html
Open Recovery 3.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796679
Note that by default the device may not get signal. I used the steps bellow to set it up for Telus. Please note you need Open Recovery 3.3
The Version included in the Instruction does not have the option to change baseband for some reason.
Wipe your phone. Select Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Data / Factory Reset, and Wipe Cache Partition.
Select Change Baseband and select Telus.zip
Best of luck. Remember Just because it worked for me don't mean it will work for you. So attempt at your own risk.

[Q] Q: Stuck, Unlocked, Cannot mount E:\, In TWRP, 22hrs In

Long story short,
Purchased a Tmobile HTC One, Planned on taking it over to Straight Talk.
I have not asked any questions because I can usually figure this out.
Facts:
Unlocked using All In One
TWRP recovery
Issue:
Keep rebooting once it gets to the HTC One screen with Beats Audio
I am about 22 hours into this and very frustrated, it seems as though I do not have an O.S.

Use the ADB Sideload option(follow the directions carefully) in the All-in-One Toolkit to load a ROM.

Hmm. Have you attempted to format data while in TWRP recovery? Also a few more details please--once you had unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, did you attempt to install a ROM from that point or boot into stock? If it's the latter, have you attempted to fastboot flash a boot.img from a stock ROM/NAND backup?

I have always had better luck with CWM clockworkmod recovery than TWRP for these kind of situations. So you might want to use the all in one and put Clockwork on. Also when sideloading a rom make sure to rename the rom something nice and short like rom.zip no spaces no numbers just simple and short or it will fail.

1. Have NOT tried to format data
2. Originally tried to install cm touch, which at that time seemed like it didnt work (could not boot into rom) so I tried to install TWRP for some reason
3. I have attempted to boot stock rom, but always gets hung up on "beats audio" audio screen

Wow, saved my ass. I formatted /data and now I can finally boot into CM after a fresh ROM install.

Two things here:
1) Clearing Cache fixes the cache issue you see...
2) To fix the boot loop, you need to `Format /data and /data/media` under `Mounts and Storage`.
That should fix you up.... side loading wont fix a bad /data partition.

It sounds like you have a ROM loaded if its cycling at the BeatsAudio screen. Yes, you can do the ROM now. Make sure you do a factory reset before installing the ROM (or after I suppose)

Are you using Mac OSX? What is the format of the external_sd card? Is it formatted FAT, FAT32, or EX_FAT?
Clockworkmod does not support EX_FAT, so you must format it to FAT in order for it to mount. OSX can't format FAT32, so you must format FAT.

Stock Recovery Infected?

I'm having issues flashing a custom recovery. After booting into the Clockwork Mod recovery (just flashed) I get the error codes:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I also only have 118MB of free space on the SD Card (seen through recovery).
So I'm trying to download the stock recovery from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158763
so that I can flash it to start all over to see if it helps, but ESET is coming up with it as infected with a trojan. I'd like to flash it but I'm not sure if I can trust it...
Any help?

That link downloads a rar archive that contains the stock recovery image plus other stuff. My virus protection also picked it up, but I downloaded and check it out and even had another user flash that recovery image so I am pretty sure the download is not infected.

Alright, I'm going to flash it.
Any ideas on the error codes?

Looks like you got fungi on your recovery. DON'T LET IT GET EXPOSED TO WATER!
lesson learnt.

Maybe fastboot erase cache. Perhaps reflash and try TWRP recovery.

Any idea which recovery to flash. The file I downloaded came with a bunch to choose from.

Oh yeah, I remember now. I didn't use those because I thought they were labeled weird. Here is a zip that contains the stock recovery.img :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36946918/ResetRecovery.zip
I would just try to reflash a custom recovery.
Go to this thread and get TWRP. Rename the file to twrp.img and place it in the same folder as your fastboot. Your phone should still be in fastboot, if not, get there.
Type: fastboot erase cache
Type: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

since acipen
I can't flash any other recoveries...
When I try to flash another one, the one with go to the "Entering recovery" screen for several seconds and then turn off.

I sometimes get those error messages when I go from Twrp to Cwm, but after I do a backup or flash something it goes away the next time I boot into recovery.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

The other issue is that when I'm backing up in CW, it says:
Backing up system..
Can't mount /system!
Is this a problem or should I ignore it?

I have CW flashed, but now I can't start my phone. Everything's been flashed (data/factory reset, etc.). I don't think I wiped the system, but now I'm not sure. Any help guys? This kind of blows.

Stuck with Clockworkmod non-touch

Hi
I was able to s-off, install a recovery and root my device OK.
I installed TWRP as part of that process and then installed Clockworkmod while I was testing out Cyanogenmod.
I want to go back to TWRP (or at least Clockworkmod touch) but my phone will only boot into Clockworkmod (non-touch)
Things I've tried:
Flashed TWRP from fastboot
fastboot erase cache
But every time the phone only boots into Clockworkmod 5.x.x.x
The clockworkmod app tells me I have TWRP and Clockworkmod installed already, but same problem when I try to reboot into TWRP from there.
This log comes up in Clockworkmod. Maybe it's relevant:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Anyone kind enough to help I'll be very grateful
Thanks

Flash TWRP, reboot into the phone. Go back to fastboot, flash TWRP again, and check. A different combination may work. It may take a few tries to get it going.
