so a buddy of mine rooted his wifes eris, and sorta messed up the root, he can get to clockwork mod and all, BUT any rom he tries to flash will say error at line 9 or line 6 not enough space on device, aborting operation....
he also failed to make an nand back up so basically we are stuck in clockwork
someone help! how do we either fix this to flash a rom or unroot/return to stock this device??
we have tryed the RUU method but it doesnt reconize the drvice because we are in clock work
and we have try the pbm img but s=on so were locked out
If s=on then i dont think he got root

he followed the method on theunlockr.com
worked just fine for his eris, but his wifes is giving said errors...
with just bootloader and cwm avalible what can we do to fix this?

How full is the battery? I get errors if I try to flash and the battery is ~30% or less.

what type of errors have you seen?
his says not enough space on device... could this relate the cwm bricking devices?
more so is the device bricked at this point or are we still ok?

That sounds like the type of stuff i would get. that or a push file via adb thing. It doesn't sound like a clockwork bricking. The problem with CWM is that it doesn't have the verification step that amon-ra does. Are you flashing roms from these forums? I trust the devs here, but I don't think I would flash a rom that isn't from here w/o a recommendation from one of the devs. I would plug the phone in and let it go for a bit and try again after it has a charge.

yes we can power on we can use cwm mod hell we can place a pbmimg on the sd card, it just wont read it because s=on at the time
in doing a massive google search
any chance this would work
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-help/37717-unroot-unbrick-using-sbf-post-ikithme.html
if not anyone got any ideas?
3 more questions
a: is there a way to get s=off without android loaded, between just the bootloader and cwm avalible? this way we can hopefully just use the pbmimg
B: is there a way to replace cwm with amon ra in this current state to use flashback21? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
and this is a really crazy thought but can we take the backup we created tonight from his eris... both phones are EXACTLY alike, purchased at the same time and all...and use it to flash in cwm to recover the dead phone?
there is way to flash S=OFF through recovery. Flash the file from here..
In order to use a nandroid from a different phone you need to change a few things to make it work. I read it somewhere. If I find it ill let ya know

This is only supposed to work if you have bootloader version 1.49. If you're lucky like me and have 1.47 it won't work. That's according to bftbo. He's tried both.

So I went ahead and just did it ran the ruu. So i been trying ways to unroot this as much as my not so experienced self is. Well first i tried to replace the rom.zip with an older one as if that was done it would be the easiest way. well replaced it but it didn't successfully flash once it got to the flash bootloader part. Then I booted to recovery and first thing it said was E:can't archive /cache/recovery/command. So I tried to apply update.zip it started to go through but got a signature failure. Anyways any help with this would be great

Throw it into the toilet and get a warranty replacement quick, before all the phones have 2.1.
Other then that, the only way to find root would be to have a good knowledge of linux, kernels, c, etc, and find known linux exploits and go down the list and try them.

I'm getting a new one today from craigslist so if I never post again then I'll be one of those when craigslist goes wrong stories on the news.
Also I never got the warranty from sprint I got the warranty from radioshack because they said that they cover everything but water damage. So right before I threw it off my roof I called radioshack to make sure they would cover it they said they only cover wear and tear and software.
I still would like to know how to make an sign an update zip though so I can flash it through recovery.

Yes and no. While in the new recovery it gives you the ability to flash an update zip from your sd but I get signature fails if I could fake the signature then I could flash a rooted rom and carry out from there putting a new recovery image and so fourth

What happens if you try flashing any of the released roms out there, like fresh rom? It is signed using test keys. That would be crazy if the new recovery lets you flash any signed rom, but I predict it's locked down to HTC's keys which are privately encrypted keys. You can't fake them.

I guess you just answered your own question.
Really, though, this question has been answered a hundred times on this very forum. Maybe people are tired of new threads popping up constantly asking other people to take time to do research for people that obviously can't be bothered to do it for themselves. Search first, then ask if you can't find an answer...preferably in a relevant existing thread instead of creating 10 new ones. The other users of this forum aren't here to be your free research monkeys.
...and again, insulting people isn't going to make them want to help you. If you want people to be friendly and considerate you need to give that back...it's a 2-way street. Nobody here is being paid.
*prepares to be flamed by the OP...again*
If you have root then you can use adb to get into download mode by typing "reboot download mode", if you don't have root then you can't use adb.

you can too use adb without root, how do you think people locked out of hardware recovery are even getting rooted in the first place? (and dont say one click root cause if you knew anything then youd also know that program uses adb as well)
the only thing you have to do to get adb to work is turn on usb debugging and have good drivers installed.

If your phone is on the phone != computer screen and you can't enter download mode via the volume keys - you're bricked. You can't fix it unless you can enter download mode, and some versions of the phone you can't enter download or recovery modes via any keypresses. Since you're on the phone != computer screen, you also can't connect to the phone with ADB - so you're boned like a few other people here.

ok thanks. i was just frustrated and nervous but tmobile is sending me another one. this phone was on vibrant rom and rooted if they find out is there going to be a issue? i am thinking that only way to get back is flashing stock odin again and once they do that it wont be rooted again. so i should be good. what do you think.
Yes should flash the original rom cuz if Tmo find out they are going to make u paid the original price of the phone not the discount or insurance price either. Reason I know cuz I know several people that work with Tmo corporate store not affiliate stores.

Please use the term quick boot when referring to the reboot option that does not fully restart the phone.
Use 'fastboot' to refer to the low level utility / protocol that allows image (ROM,etc) flashing via USB

No problem (clicky the thanks button ). I was actually leaning toward this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225. I'm still trying to determine the difference between it and the one you linked. The main purpose will not be really to flash any roms (she likes the stock), but to resolve some minor issues she has w/ her device. For example, her market fc's every time it updates - it's getting old to have to uninstall updates before she can even access the market. So I'm wanting to root so I can use TB to freeze the market updater.

Aha...see this is the stuff I need to learn - I simply used that term b/c it's what was in the reboot option. So it sounds like "fastboot" is the same as Downloading mode on my vibrant, correct? In other words, roms can be flashed via either clockwork or a usb connection to a computer while the device is in fastboot...?
I need to find a tutorial that explains the basics for the mt4g. It's a pretty different animal than my vibrant. I'm creating my own flashable mods for my vibrant, yet I pick up my wife's mt4g and I'm back to square one. Fruustratting!
If you already flashed it, Power Off > Hold Vol Down + Power until booted > Vol Down to recovery and select

thats what i want i don't want to deal with flashing roms and all that crap lol i just want ROOT and keep it stock i just better not forget to UNroot before accepting an OTA update lol
hey i'am successfully rooted now with stock ROM! with the link i gave you! i think you should use the one i gave you its more detailed that the one you linked to me...theres a few things missing there in your link.
So I've apparently, effectively bricked my phone. Under bootloader it is listed as S-OFF. Is there any way I can return my evo in and stay under warranty?
Note: I can not reach recovery.
What happens when you rename a recovery to PC36IMG.zip and try to update via bootloader?
I go into a boot loop no matter what i do, no matter what I flash. I have flashed 10+ PC36IMGs with everything from bootloaders to recoveries, to every img that can be on the phone... there is a thread still on the first page if you want to look at that.
Anyways, it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to fix it, so this is more about what options are available to me in getting a new phone, if you having any suggestions though on what I can do to fix mine, please be my guest and comment on my thread below, I'm still trying to fix it!
Just report the phone lost or stolen and pay $100 deductible.

I would try one last time to flash Amon's recovery.
Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=483320&d=1294435056
Rename it to "PC36IMG.zip"
put it on the root of your sd card via a card reader if you have one or someone elses phone.
then update via bootloader.
Other than that I'm out of ideas. The good news is I'm not as savvy as 95% people on here, which means someone much smarter than me might know the answer. Good luck.
Hmm, yeah I may just have to pay the 100 then... but is that an insurance thing or a warranty thing? I don't have insurance
Do you think Sprint will even check for the S-ON?

Try going through the whole process. If successful make sure you have a nice stock ROM like the current Sprint Lovers ROM to flash.
Unfortunately my phone isn't getting listed as a device under adb, and thats part of the toast tutorial I have tried his eng-PC36IMG.zip, and it didn't work
woah woah woah....
take your phone to wal-mart and slide it over the demagnetizer at the register a couple times.
THAN take it in.

What did you do that caused this issue? Or what were you trying to do? Also what hboot version do you have?

I had nightlies of CM7 they would reboot fairly often, but I just figured they were unstable. Out of nowhere it rebooted, and lost all my texts, and desynced my google account. I decided to switch to CM6. When i switched to CM6, soon after it rebooted out of nowhere, and then staid in an endless loop and never came out. I currently have hboot .76, for more fastboot commands.
Try this PC36IMG.zip. If it doesn't work the first time then try it again. If it doesn't work the second time, then I would say you're SOL. I know you said you've tried a bunch but they aren't all the same. It's the sprintlover's full update ROM.

Yep :/ I don't know what to tell you then man, sorry.
I guess I'm going to Sprint and playing stupid!
Has anyone done this successfully?
It sucks because as soon as I started having these problems, all the experts would be frustrated and say "*sigh* you're not bricked, you can get into bootloader" and so I was so sure it was fixable... but apparently not. Every time I mention it I have a thousand people yell at me "FLASH PC36IMG!!" Anyways thanks for the help!
Hello,
I installed chainfire 3D ( Yes I know I should have read that jelly bean was no compatible) and am now stuck on the boot screen of my phone. I have got the factory hard reset menu up but don't know what to do apart from that. I have checked on other threads and they are all really confusing for a person that is new to android. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also can I just permanently erase user data or will this brick my phone?

No worries any help at this moment is appreciated haha. I just downloaded the stock rom and yep im in the recovery bootup thanks to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUwi4YZWbyk
Once I download the stock rom what how do I install it. I don't mind deleting all the stuff of my phone I just want it to work.
If you had cwm you can use adb to remove the .apk via recovery.. twrp even made it easier by having a file explorer inside the recovery..
But if you haven't installed them both i'm afraid you're out of luck..

Recovering your phone at this point wont help you at all my friend :/ you have officially bricked your phone sadly this is beyond my level of expertise in the smartphone world i would take it to a local rooting/roming buisiness on craigslist or i think cricket will do it... call them up and let them know your problem detail for detail they will probobly tell you you soft bricked your phone there is a slight chance they may be able to fix it for 15-50 dollars depending on how bad it is
Can you still get into TWRP or CWM recovery?
If so then you can probably still use an adb interface to push a ROM.zip file to your phone to flash. If you cant then Im not sure how you would go about fixing because we do not have an unlocked bootloader so I do not think you will be able to use fastboot commands to flash a ROM. Maybe someone more knowledgable in this can help you out better than I.
same thing with me
Dude the same thing had happened to me on my gionee p3 and i tried everything but u have to just take it to the service centre and i got mine done for free as i had a warranty but if u dont u will have to pay and also this happens when u download **** things that take the main startup programs of ur phone
.....so best of luck
