So before anything this is what I have.
SPL: Danger SPL
MOD:Cyanogen 4.0.4
RADIO: latest
THEME: CyanogenMod-4.0.4-CustomV7 by: Z҉A҉L҉G҉O
So what happened was after I installed this theme everything was running smoothly. My phone was low on battery so I pluged in my Charger. After being on the phone while charging for 30 - 60 minutes my touch stopped working, so I turned it off and on thinking it'll fix the problem and it didn't.
I leave it alone hoping the touch will comeback the the next morning and it didn't. So I wiped and reinstalled CyanogenMOD 4.0.4 hoping that'll do the trick and it juat made things worse.
Now I'm stuck a the "Tap the Android Screen To Begin" and I can't tap it because my touch isn't working.
Is there any way to fix this or just skip that screen?
I need to ge4t back to my gf or all hell is going to break loose.
You could restore your nandroid backup (you have one, dont you?) to get past the tap-the-android screen, or USB/adb kill the process.
Sounds like your digitizer is dead or disconnected. You might need to perform surgery.

No I don't, it would always say error when I tried that.
and how do I kill the process?
Thanks in Adavance if you teach me how.

Anytime you put a device in a freeze, or fridge, there will be condensation on the device. It will then create rust, or short things out. So it could 100% be because of your little "trick".

Exactly, why would you think it's a good idea to put your phone in the fridge?!
THIS ENTIRE THING HAPPENED BEFORE I PUT MY PHONE IN THE FRIDGE.
Can someone just help me skip the initial process, or just teach me how change the Cyanogen image at the beginning to the original android image.
stop!!! i had this issue were you using a custom user.conf?
i messed up something on mine and phone would lock up nothing at all would happen i was cm 4.11.1 but i had just switch from xrom so went back to and went away but it bothered me so i rent back to rc29 then had more issues up graded to cupcake did one click root and all is good.

I kinda don't know what that is.
from the beginning:
I had the hard SPL and wanted the custom V7 them cyan 4.0.4 so I installed Danger.
Then installed the theme, and once I plugged my charger in my touch stopped working so I tried turning it off and on to fix it and it still wasn't working.
So i tried to wipe and reinstall 4.0.4 and got stuck into "tap android screen"
Now I'm back to the hard SPL but I still get stuck at the beginning.
I'm going to send it in, because I think it's a hardware issue not a software issue.
user.conf and userinit.sh and files you push to your ext to tell the ROM what CompCache/Swap settings to use. If you don't know what it is then it's clearly not causing the problem.
So I should jusr send it in?

if i was you i would flash back to rc29 the flash back up to stock cupcake. and see if that helps because you should unroot before you send it in. hope this helps

Are you useing the one that came from tmobile? If its hard to find there a guy that has I like in his sig ill try and find it for u if u can't.
This is a guide we should have just in case people want to go back to normal. Can anyone say step by step how do we unroot our phone and how do we uninstall a custom rom.
Thanks in advanced, this will help people if they ever want to go back.
EDIT.. I figured out one sure way to uninstall a custom rom, and that is to just restore your nandroid backup that you should have made before you installed the rom.
Just factory reset the phone.
if you run RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release.exe it will be like the way you got it. Unrooted and stock

That won't work because when you load a custom rom, it effectively "becomes" the factory image.

Does this also erase all data on the phone? Call logs, apps, etc.

yes it will make it so its just like you got it on day one new in the box
yup, RUU will unroot your phone, delete all installed apps and settings to include call logs, sms's, or anything else you have on your phone.
Pictures and some downloads are automatically downloaded to your sd card so those should be fine.

Trying to restore and nandroid is saying run " nandroid-mobile.sh restore" on console.. any ideas why.
I backed up nandroid on my PC and then formated the SDcard for App2sd but then realized that I formated off my pictures. Kind of hoping those were saved in the nandroid backup.
Has anyone actually attempted to un-root using this RUU utility?
A couple users at androidforums are trying to go back to stock and running into problems - the app it telling them something along the lines of 'you cannot use this utility with your phone, please use the correct utility'
I can't remember exact verbage atm - but something along those lines.
I'm running linux and don't really trust trying this through a Windows VM, else I'd answer my own question here.

Yes I did when I had some problems and it works just fine. You have to be able to have your phone on, usb connected and seen by your computer for it to work. I then rooted the phone again.

Would you mind posting the steps to take, (or should I start a new thread for that?) as afar as connecting the phone via usb and windows cmd prompt and adb and all that? I am actually happy with my rooted hero and modaco rom, but just in case...id like to know. Thanks in advance!

First download + install HTC Sync. Verify that HTC Sync can see your phone. If not, you need to uninstall drivers, unplug your phone, plug it back in and have windows find the drivers again for you. EDIT: Just a note, on my Vista comp HTC Sync didn't recognize it for me so I had to pull out a comp with XP on it. Windows 7 I don't know. Vista still works though, I just think I did something funky to the drivers on there.
Next, just exit HTC Sync or leave it running doesn't matter.
Now, while your phone is plugged in Download the RUU exe. Run it, follow directions. Voila. Everything wiped back to brand new out of the box HTC rom.
Thanks TOKi
I did but I dunno if my phone is unrooted or not. Anyway to check this?
Plus my phone is deactivated and I have no idea how to reactivate it. Haha.

I have tried several times. Each time I cannot get past the "waiting for bootloader" part. It must have something to do with replacing the recovery partition with RA-heroc-v1.2.3.
Anyone else have this issue?
I had this issue, but I unplugged and tried the process again and it fixed itself
Okay i was switching between ROMS to get Sprint GPS and when i went back to my other ROM I got the error while restoreing: nandroid-mobile.sh via adb!
It wont let me restore my back up and I wiped so i have NOTHING on my phone. Please tell me this just means it needs to be charged

does your backup have spaces in the name??? if not... is your battery low??? if all else fails... make sure it is the only file in your nandroid backup folder... do it in that order... one of those should fix your problem

Why where you trying to get sprint gps that isn't in any of the 2.1 roms I've seen, but it can be easily put back on via kitchen/ .apks

Gosh... it's TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO!
Plug your phone in to the PC while it's in recovery mode.
Open adb.exe shell
type ./nandroid-mobile.sh --help
And type the things to restore, you should get a error message like "out of space" or something.
What roms?
DC to 3D, 3D= Mix of a lot of roms.
What carrier?
Sprint
But it is FOR SURE not bricked right? if it is going into recovery mode?

Bricked= Can't turn on. Nothing Nada. Phone is a "brick"
It isn't brick if you can turn it on and go to recovery. Or ADB

Nope no spaces but the battery looked low last time i checked... That could cause this error?
Just make some room on your sd card
the error is your card is full
try it out, let me know

Hey all, got a little problem here. I rooted my Iconia just fine but when I tried to install a custom ROM, the tablet got stuck at the "Acer" splash screen. Nothing I do helps, not factory resetting, not hardware resetting, nothing. With Volume Up + Power, I can get into Clockwork Recovery just fine but that's about it! Help me!
If you can get into clockwork, you should be able to restore the backup you made of your existing install.
You did make a backup, right?
If not, you should be able to find a full download of the stock rom in here somewhere and flash that.
good advice
As long as you can still get into cwm you should be fine.
Did you remember to clear cache/battery/davak before flashing? I personally do the clear before and after. Could always try reflashing the rom if you did not do this.
Failing that, restore your backup.

Regretfully, I was not able to restore my backup. Don't know what happened to it. Even if I do find a copy of the stock ROM, how can I download it to my tablet if I can't get past that screen?
EDIT: Never mind, I think I know what to do. I just need to get my hands on a card reader.

Everyone starts somewhere. Flashing a custom ROM was maybe a strange place to start, but at least they tried to make a backup first.
I see lots of others on here that don't even bother to do that.
Thanks everyone for their assistance. I was able to borrow my co-workers USB card reader and downloaded Virtuous Xoom onto my microSD. Flashed the ROM and now all is well.

Sweet! Glad you are back up and running again!
Tried to update my LG G2. I had put a backup on a few months ago, but i really don't want to revert to that. I just want to get back to what it was like before I decided to update. Does anyone know how? I'm stuck. No ROM flashed I was just using stock OS. device is rooted with the backup,
Phone is rooted with no ROM. TWRP rooted with 1 backup.

No mate, it has a solution. Just wait for someone more competent than me to come in.
Can you push adb from your computer to your phone?

I tried plugging my phone into my computer, and no notification of my phone being plugged in is recognized. I used to know how to do some ADB stuff but haven't done it in awhile.
Great, now that i did the whole restore to default deal it deleted my backup....
Trying to put it into download mode and I dont see that working...
