Hello all, I have a question. I mistakenly wiped my Cache Partition in Clockwork. I now can not boot. Am I bricked or is this fixable. I can still return it if it is bricked I just need confirmation that it is. I tried searching, but it seems I am the only asshole to do this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Well, thanks for posting this so that others don't do what you did. Have you tried to contact the dev?
Hmm..I'm assuming you can get into recovery still? If you can get into recovery you're not 'bricked' but since there's no rom's out, you may be stuck. Perhaps a factory data reset would solve it? I'd try that before attempting the exchange it..

I was trying to flash the Evil G2-4G rom in the G2 section. It is the G2 rom ported to the MT4G. I have tried reflashing but I always get stuck on the MT4G splash screen. I can get into recovery though. My backup does the same thing, stuck on splash screen.

I believe its the 4g rom to the g2.... Why else would it be in the g2 section and not here?......

i think i just died of laughter.
Ouch...bad move man..
I'd guess the different partition layouts for the two phones probably caused a bad or partial flash. If your nandroid won't restore then there's not many options left for you.
Have you tried a full wipe then restoring the nandroid?
For future reference, all compatible roms will be in the Glacier Android development section..

i was trying to theme my phone, when i pushed it to the phone, it crashed, and got stuck in a boot loop... i then booted it into recovery, and flashed my old rom back, but now i'm stuck at the white screen with the htc logo, i can still get into the clockwork mod recovery...
my question is how do i get back into my rom?
damn, sorry this was meant for the desire subforum, i will make a new post there... just close this thread...
If you still need help it sounds like you didnt brick Ur phone otherwise it wouldn't start at all. If you have access to recovery then what I would do is format , system,data, cache, etccc... except SD card of course them reflash your Rom again .
Still doesn't work then I would use RUU_supersonic factory stock shipped Rom then root again using unrevoked 3.2 which is full root and nand unlock

hello all, i recently installed clockwork3.0 to try out the cm7 rom and did so. afer that i wanted to go back to cm6 but decided to try out a custom baked modaco in between. I went no problems to the modaco vision rom and then tried to go back to the cm6 and thats where i ran into the problem. It seems as if though all i can flash and boot now is the modaco vision and desire roms. i try enomther and cm and after the flash and reboot im always stuck at the HTC boot screen which i know shouldnt be there and cant format boot in cwork3.0 without failure error. Even a nandroid back to cm6 wont work. Im assuming this has something to do with the modaco rom writing some apps to /system during install. If anyone can point out my error or explain why this could happen it would be greatly appreciated. Thanke, veritasaequita
You need to flash back to the old ClockworkMod Recovery using fastboot? You have done that haven't you? CWM Recovery 3 is only for 2.3 roms atm afaik.
Cool, thanks for the input bro. Yes I sure have. I did see in the dev forum a thread titled install cw3.0 easily from phone. Is it possible to go back to the old cw by way of using the phone also? Once again thanks for your help
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
oh yeah, indeed you have hit upon something. Try installing ROM manager via the Market,... then use that to re-install the old recovery.
But if that fails,... then yes, you SHOULD be able to use a Terminal Emulator to flash without using fastboot commands.
Hello,
I need some help. I decided to try out a mod while at work today. i tried it out and didnt like it too much and try to restore my last back up that i did before the change. the phone cut off then back on and was stuck on the mytouch 4g screen and has been this way for about 3 hours.i took the battery out and i went to the hboot screen and tried a factory reset and then the rom manager opened up (v3.0.0.5). from there i went to reboot now and it goes back to the my touch screen. idk what to do and i need help. im new to the droid and am unfamiliar with the terms. can anyone help PLEASE. if possible to gtalk me at j.d.louisy.

calm down take a breather us XDA users got your back, OK take out the battery and put it back in then go to the Hboot ( hold power and volume down) then once you get to the Hboot Settings use volume down to get to RECOVERY (i think its the third one) then once you get into Clockwork Recovery scroll down to (Backup and Restore) click then press (Restore) and then choose your Restore file it usually Year-month-day hope i helped you donate pls if i did
BE SURE TO KEEP THE CHARGER IN!!
p.s. if it turns off while its restoring even with the charger in let it boot into recovery mode and let it charge up a bit
incase you still need help gtalk me [email protected]
and p.s. CWM 3.0.0.5 is for gingerbread only
Certain roms require certain versions of clockworkmod. I don't know if this also applies to restoring from backups, though. Which type of rom did you flash?
If he flashed the add on 3.0.0.5 has ext3/ext4 support. Should be able to flash froyo and TB Rome.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
3.0.0.6 supports ext3/ex4 3.0.0.5 only does Gingerbread
Edit: I'm being a dumbass yea what he said was right I'm overly tired and I have to explain to her why I was being a dumbass and trying to flash through fastboot but what I don't understand is why its still stuck at the boot screen

Three options
Option one: (easiest)
Since you flashed 3.0.0.5 you must flash a Gingerbread ROM, (Which you can download from here ). Make sure to flash the G/apps after you flash the ROM.
Option two:
you can flash a 2.x.x.x Recovery image, or flash 3.0.0.6 via script or manually do it via the HBoot.
Option three:
Flash the PD15IMG and start over from ground one.
thank you so much for the advice and help. i could bang my head on the wall for trying to load gorillasens. i shouldve left it alone. once i get home from work i will give it a try again.

Ah. i think i see what happened. You rooted your phone. downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager, then flashed a recovery image (which was version 3.x). then tried to flash a 2.2 ROM.
Okay. so what.....
a common mistake but one that can be avoided by doing a little research.
Clockwork's 3.0.0.5 recovery image is only compatible with Gingerbread (2.3) based ROMs.
Clockwork's 2.x recovery image are only compatible with FroYo (2.2) based ROMs.
gorilla is 2.2 So it's not cannot be flashed by the recovery image you are using.
if that is correct then the text in the recovery image should be orange in color. If that is correct.....If i were in your shoes i'd load CM7 w/ the GAPPS > download CWRM from the markert > scroll to the bottom (all clockwork recoveries) and flash the newest 2.x. then boot into recovery / make sure the text is GREEN, not ORANGE, wipe then flash your GorillaSense.
Can you cite a source, because I've also heard people claim that Clockwork 3 is backwards compatible, but there was no evidence either way...?
How would you go about switching from a 2.2 ROM to a 2.3 ROM? Do you have to backup with CWM 2, then install CWM 3 to install the new ROM? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me...?

3.0.0.5 is not backwards compatible, which is the official 3.x that you download via the Application. 3.0.0.6 which is "beta" flashed via the HBoot is backwards compatible.
It's seriously jacked if you ask me.
to go from lets say CM6 > CM7 one would do a nandroid backup of CM6, then go to CWRM flash the 3.0.0.5 recovery image > boot into recovery and flash the CM7.
now to get back to a 2.2 ROM you have to scroll to the bottom of CWRM app's and flash a 2.x version of the recovery then do your nandroid restore, flash the 2.2 recovery image.
From what i've heard once 3.0.0.6 is finished you can use that for everything.
What a pain...
I'm real sketchy about the Clockwork 3 recoveries for the Nexus, because they've been screwing up partitions (mine included). Has there been any problems with Clockwork 3 on the Glacier?

I haven't had any problems with mine. The only problem that was noted was the 3.0.0.5 prior to the official release wouldn't do Nandroid Backups directly from the application. Some were reporting it work work from the recovery image, but mine never did.
and i have a feeling the reason it's screwing with Partitions is this (CM7/CW3.x) is a Ext4 set up. And CM6/CW2.x is a Ext3 set up.
but since it went official the only problem i've seen is people flashing the the wrong recovery for the wrong ROM. People are flashing 3.x because 3 is higher than 2 so they think it's an upgrade and have no clue on the who/what/when/wheres and whys of what its for.
The partition thing is different for the Nexus, because they are cross compatible to a certain degree. I rolled back to CWM 2, but I can still flash CM7 no probs...
It's interesting to note the differences between the two platforms though (Nexus vs Glacier).

Yea between Google's way of doing thing and HTC, but i'm sure the chip-set has something to do with that. and with the sexy nexi only having 512Mb of memory the factor of tricking the phone to use the SD card has something to do with it i'm sure.
i have the 3.x recovery and i can flash iceglacier which is a 2.2 rom with out any issues. what i can't do is restore my backup from my other phone onto this replacement i just got. i made the backup with the 3.x recovery but i just keep getting stuck at the mytouch bootup screen... gonna try flashing the 2.x recovery and see if it lets me do the restore.
hey there everyone. just giving an update.......phone is still messed up. we tried putting gingerbread on and no go....tried flashing to PD15IMG and starting over. no go, it kept saying that "main version older <bad>" the phone wont go past the htc screen. im going on day 3 and no phone. *sigh* open for more advice. should i just buy another phone?
OMG OMG OMG i fixed it.......thank you for this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957457 i re downloaded the PD(insert file name) and it worked. i broke down in tears. thank you guys sooooo much.

I have an EVO 4g that is stuck in an infinite boot loop. When it boots up it goes to the HTC EVO 4G white splash screen, goes black, and then goes back to the white splash screen over and over. I'm at my whit's end with this one. I have tried:
- RUUing it
-flashing different recoveries to it (Amonra and Smelkus)
If anyone has had a similar experience with theirs could they please point me in the right direction.

It still loops if I go to recovery through the bootloader.

Didn't mean to double post - I could not find my original post this morning for some reason.
You're S-OFF. You'll be fine.
Have you tried a different ROM other than a RUU? Like a recent stock or stock-ish ROM?
Also, now that you have a good recovery on there, use it to wipe data, cache, system, and boot. Don't erase all your pictures and music, but nuke everything else.
The symptoms you are describing happen to me all the time when I have not adequately wiped between flashing different ROMs . It could also be a bad download (always check md5's )
Sometimes flashing a ROM that is way too old for your radios or bootloader could cause this, but it sounds like you're pretty up to date.
Get a different ROM (such as Captain Throwback's 5.67 stock ROM) and try again.
After trying all the obvious stuff, then *maybe* we can talk about bad SD cards, corrupted partitions, whatever..

Go here and read everything,then format your sd card,make sure to back it up first,then install DT's a2sd and a stable rom,like Tommy's Classic or Miks 3.0.
Wait - you said it loops in recovery also?
That's not good.
Is this the same issue as the thread you started over in Q&A?
Now I'm not so sure there is an easy fix for this issue.
That radio is a little old and may be preventing your RUU from succeeding. Try updating?
After that, you might have to start looking at some kind of corrupt NV partition or something..

Something that helped me-
Recently recovered from an infinite boot loop myself- my condolences. Have you tried booting while the phone is plugged into the PC or an outlet?
I have hope
Im hoping to see that you are able to resolve this problem. Recently did a RUU update myself.
Turns out that everything updated minus the boot.
Which recieved a partition update. This was coming back from a bad kernel.
The phone is S-On sits on the 4 corner escalmations of death..
.. no further than the bootloader. which displays specs and ruu where the options should be.
Be interested to see if you find something. In the mean time Ill be hunting form info as well and if I find a possible resolve Ill try and throw it your way. :/ miss my evo...
Best of luck.
You can try one of my guides, it can help you get a recovery back. Just use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hi,
I am having an issue with my phone where the phone keeps on boot looping. I have read the brick guide and I tried the solutions in there but I am still stuck with a boot loop.I managed to install clockwork and cm 7.2 on the phone but it still boot loops and it has the good emmc chip as well. I also flashed the pd15img in hboot it doesn't return any errors and still loops. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mine boot loops with just about every ICS rom except (so far) the new chameleon one. It does the thing where if I get an incoming text when I try to check it it restarts the phone, and after a few days it boot loops permanently. What I mean by that is I'll try to use the phone and it's in the rom's splash screen just looping and looping and doesn't stop until I turn off the phone.. So when that happens I have to hold the volume down, turn the phone on, and wait until the boot menu comes up.. Then go into recovery and wipe data, cache, dalvik, and flash a new rom and gapps. It really sucks because I love PACman rom's and they boot loop the most.
Oh also my phone kept not booting once because my back button got stuck down.. So check your buttons too? Hopefully something there helps. I'm still trying to find out why PACman rom's hate me! Good luck!
Everybody please read the op in the developer's roms they all tell you to wipe cache/dalvik this what I do when I install any rom I throws out all the bugs and gets the rom moving normally

That's not it.. I wipe my data, cache, and dalvik cache 3x before flashing a new ROM. I think the problem may have something to do with the kernel the devs are using because both Pacman and evervolv roms do it the worst, and I noticed Pacman is using evervolv's kernel. chameleons ROM doesn't restart or boot loop on me at all..
I had same problem. I installed 4EXT recovery and formatted everything ext 4 +full wipe.Then installed a different kernel other than stock.That solved all issues.

Had success with factory data reset
Hello. I had the boot loop problem and tried everything (even the wierd twisting thing which worked for others, not me). I ended up fixing the problem by using the factory data reset solution. This is done by holding the power and volume up button until the screen lights up with options. Then select the factory data reset option.
THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING except whats on your SD card. So you'll have to redownload all your favortie apps. But i actually liked that new phone feeling after the reset. Hope this helps someone.
