First off let me start by saying I now know what i did wrong. Next is there anyway i can fix it?
I didn't backup anything and then managed to erase everything... I have CM 6 but as of now all i can get is the boot screen. I tried recovery but that won't work becasue there is no backup. also Before I erased everything i managed to turn s on so now i have no way to turn that off correct? Im basicly looking for a way to restore my phone but if it cant be done then i understand. Right now I am using a samsung vibrant with Nero v3 voodo and understand how to install custom roms now
i have almost the same problem as you I don't know what to do I've looked everywhere.

What do you mean... erase everything? How?
Possible steps:
1. factory reset from H-Boot, see if it boots up normally, then re-root.
2. Install PD15IMG from development section, look it up.
Good luck.
Man, do I feel like an idiot...

Same issue here...I have nero v5 on my vibrant lol.
We should've just stayed with the vibrant...
Which recovery did you have installed and which h-boot
Did you try seeing if you could s-off through adb? Im not sure if this will work but Download the files you need to get s-off from ur computer and put it on ur SD card via a card reader or some sort, after you get the necessary files put the SD card back into ur phone. Hook it up to ur computer and maybe you can s-off through adb if you can get ur computer to recognize ur phone. Then IF it works, download a rom via computer to it SD card and boot into recovery and flash. Let me know what happens if it works or not

Should have taken my advice from this thread.
I just went thru the same thing and couldn't restore any of the backups it just kept getting stuck on the flash screen. I downloaded the ice glacier rom on to a spare sd card and flashed it thru hboot recovery and it looks like that did the trick.
hi guys if you still cant get your phones working try mobiletechvideos.com, they fixed my phone , my phone wouldn`t do anything .good reliable service, yes its in texas.
Although you didnt create any backups, is it possible that someone can create a backup of a fresh ROM and send that to you?
youshoe said:
Just take the SD card and put a new ROM on it. Then go to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalkik cache.
Then install zip from sd card and find it.
I like using Royal Panache 1.3.
I think it's stock Mobilicity ROM but no stock software from carrier. Good stuff.
MIUI and Cyanogenmod 7.1 are also good candidates.
I'm currently testing out ICS and you can test it out as well (but in your case, probably try a working one first =P) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383629&page=1

Wrong, he just randomly revived a thread that last post was made in July 2011.

He revived quite a few of them, trying to market what I believe to be his product. Just look at his messages. Don't want to write the name of the product, since it appears he's scoring just for that.
I've reported his posts, but didn't see mod response yet.

I was trying different roms out...and decided to try the redemptive revolution sense rom...my phone gets stuck on the htc evo 4g screen the white part...I can get to recovery ect...but I didn't make a nano backup...and I don't have any other roms I can install on sdcard to fix this...is there a way to get my phone back to factory or get another rom on sdcard somehow so I can get to it in recovery and boot to it? If there is a way I can get computer to see the sdcard when connected in recovery or something I can drag another rom on card and install it...any ideas please?
Thanks for your help! I will always make a backup from now on!I see why its important!!

Mount your sd in recovery and copy another rom from your computer to the sd. Unmount. Wipe data/cache/davlik. Flash rom
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
If there was only a website where you could look up a rom, download it and copy it from your PC via an SD adapter...
Get a mirco-SD to SD adapter. Pretty much all computers have an SD card slot nowadays.
Go into recovery, hit usb-ms toggle, then copy the rom over.

I don't use clockwork, but there is still a mount usb option. It should be USB toggle or something like that. Otherwise, like already suggested, use a card reader.

Try restarting your computer with USB connected. Same thing happened to me, my Inc suddenly rebooted and got stuck on boot screen. Pulling the battery and restarting my comp with USB connected did it for me.

Glad you can't brick it! THANKS for all your help guys...couldn't get it to mount so I finally got a mini-SD card reader...I threw eternal prophecy rom on there! Its sense! Got it up and working!
THANKS EVERYONE!
USB has been broken for a while....at the time i had Z's FreeX10 2.2 rom installed and running well recently updated to FreeXperia CM7.0.1 GB2.3.3 rom but realized that it had some bugs....accelerometer lag and a few other things. I was stuck on BB52 so couldn't flash newer GB 2.3.5 roms
Yesterday I found another rom that I decided to give a shot, this would put me back to froyo CM6.4, but this rom had GB features, and it was said to work on BB52 so i downloaded and flashed following the steps exactly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151933
Now my phone is constantly rebooting....no microSD (not mounted) no WIFI(error) no 3G...and as mentioned above my USB is broken. Can't get into xRecovery. When the phone loads i have a few minutes to browse before it reboots...so I have a short window to change some things.
I'm pretty sure there's nothing I can do to fix this, so it's basically a brick, but if you guys have any ideas...i'm willing to try your suggestions.
Thanks!
U probably need a baseband patch from coborato. Your probably on achjotans Rom. If u.can some how download that patch and flash it in recovery before it reboots you'll b fine. But honestly id get the phone repaired if I were u. These new gingerbread roms are amazing

Yeah that's the one i'm on right now. I did flash the baseband patch before booting into the new rom....that didnt help...and now I cant load into xRecovery. Tried repairing the USB port twice now, both times no luck. Official SE repair shop said that it's not repairable since the problem is with the main board. Ah well...gonna have to wait till my contract runs out Thanks for your suggestion tho.
Before when xRec had this "Unable to access SD card" issue...
I found an MicroSD USB adapter where i could just plug in my SD card into it, and it becomes an USB stick.
From that i just transfered a new rom/etc, then just unplug and jam it back into my phone.
Not sure if that helped at all but ya, if you have a broken USB Connection... that'll be a smart alternative~
Good luck mate,
J.T
I'd probably go with the above suggestion, get a micro sd card reader and transfer the needed files that way, boot into recovery and install them. Or whip out your tools and disasemble your phone and re-solder the broken usb if possible. Good luck with any way you choose!
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
thats so bad
If you could of access recovery that would of had been great because you could buy a card reader insert your sd install desired rom and flash whit recovery but not so sure about baseband since you have broken usb :/

Can someone help?
I recently tried to flash a new radio and the md5 sum thing was correct and all and for some reason my phone wont start up. It just stays on the mytouch 4g logo.
Do you know if you have the good or bad chip? Look here to test it. Although you may need to be in the android system or recovery. Can you boot into bootlader/recovery? If not, then you are bricked. Try flashing stock froyo 2.2.1. If you get failed-PU, definetly bricked.
i can get into bootloader. and recovery but how do you put stock froyo onto micro sd if phone doesnt connect to computer

Mine did that last night when I flashed the latest radio. I just did a battery pull, took out the sd card to delete the radio, then I put it back in, booted to hboot then selected recovery and flashed another rom. All is well.
how do i delete from sd card if i cant connect to computer

Hey everybody,
Yesterday I tried flashing a theme to SmoothRom and got caught in a bootloop. In a panic, I accidentally factory wiped my sd card and lost my roms so now I can't flash another rom to my Nexus 7. I've tried adb pushing a rom to the sd card, but my Nexus 7 is not being recognized in adb devices. I've tried everything to my knowledge but I still cannot get anything to work, even tried working on Mac and PC computers and my Nexus won't show up in adb.
I'm ready to count my losses as it is my fault, but I figured you guys could help out. I love my Nexus so if you guys know anything I could do I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: Unbrick Nexus 7?
You can go two ways here, either you can do as the above user posted and flash a stock image via fastboot or if you have a otg cable and a pendrive/removable media you can use that to install the rom

Ok guys, I spent all last night trying to get this to work, and I'm still having problems. I tried adding the line to the driver inf file but nothing worked. I tried adding the PDANet drivers, but the Nexus of course is not showing up. I know that my Nexus is not doomed it's just something I'm not doing right, not gonna give up I'll keep at it. Thanks for the help guys, if anything have any suggestions let me know!
Sounds like you should find out if CWM touch can mount a USB flash thumbdrive via an OTG cable. You can avoid driver problems that way (as long as it works). The filesystem formatting of the USB drive with the highest probability of success will be a FAT format.
good luck

There's nothing wrong with it... you just need to flash stock with fastboot or adb sideload it.

If fastboot is really dead, then you're out of luck. Have you tried running fastboot commands, however, after trying to boot into fastboot? Sometimes the underlying software will run correctly, even if the screen is nonresponsive.

So I assume this means my only hope is to replace the motherboard which houses the memory. Is that a good assumption?
HELP!
so i had the same thing happen to me. I had access to recovery still but instead of re flashing i tried to use nexus root toolkit to factory reset. somehow fastboot failed halfway through and now recovery is gone with everything else. The only thing i can get into is the bootloader mode....
My device is still listed as a fastboot device, but when i try to re-run the flash to stock i get this: (see attached picture)
Please help, I honestly have been working on this for days, but i simply do not know enough to fix it!

I'm having a similar problem. Present state of the device is that my N7 boots into the bootloader and then to the custom recovery. I've accidently erased the OS.
Can you tell me how you managed to unbrick via OTG. Should I move the factory image to usb flash drive and then mount it via OTG and then try to flash it via recovery???
