Hi,
i think i have a really big issue here.
I tried to install the Mondo Rom, but i had cm7 and android 2.3 before, so i had to flash back to amon-ra recovery.
I did everything the tutorial said, but it just wont work, soo then there was a great idea that i came up with:
lets try to format the sd card.. and yeaah now i got one problem.
My Phone stucks while booting at the "Tattoo" logo.
I just can boot into recovery or hboot , fastboot wont work, because my computer isn´t recognizing my phone :/
What should i do?
oh and i can´t go into mount usb either it just says:
"E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
please help, because i need to go to the hospital tomorrow and i need my cellphone :S
If you can boot to recovery, why you don't flash the rom again, or maybe another rom, in case that you have problems with mondo rom?
same problem
i´ve updated yesterday my tattoo to the latest cm7 rom. Everything worked very well, but today it´s restarting the whole time.
it come untill pin and then restart. I dont undestand whats the problem.
I´ve flashed the rom again and wiped erverything but nothing
Try to put your memory card in another phone or in a card reader. Format your sd card again. Put a rom on it and try to install it.
problem solved
i solved my problem after installing an old backup of the old sense rom
and after that i wiped data and installed the new rom
and nnow it´s working

Hi there, i think i failed at trying to flash a ROM to my desire HD.
I followed the process for temp and then permroot and it all seemed fine. Read further to wipe all data so i did. Then decided to make a backup and that went fine aswell. Upon reboot it just hangs at the HTC logo. I have to pull the battery just to turn it off.
I can boot into recovery mode and tried to restore to my backup but same problem. Foolishly i did all this while waiting for the revolution ROM to download so not even sure how to copy it to the sd card and trying to flash it to the ROM to see if that gets its going.
Would really like some help on this =/
Spose the question is, now that i cant actually start the phone apart from into recovery mode, is there a way to copy the ROM to the sd card still?
Or any ideas on getting it to boot further then just the HTC logo?
help with images attached
wiping all data cause you to lose whatever is on there, inclusive of ROM etc, it sounds like it has nothing too boot.
you can mount your SD via CWM (clockwork Recovery) by going to mounts & Storage and also mount USB and it will then show up as it normally would on your PC if you had a rom.
see photos to guide you
OH FYI youll need to format;
- Boot
- System
- Data
- Cache
Thanks, im able to copy the rom over now, ill flash to it and see how it goes.
Thanks, all is working now
Hi,
Yesterday I installed MIUI RC5b, and had the external sd error. I read around and found that if you get a garbled screen after the bootloader, you have to downgrade it because you have a gingerbread one. That was my problem since I come from JVK, so I flashed EZBase and that fixed it.
I was getting the Cyanogenmod logo after the bootloader one, but still, I had no external sd, so I decided to flash a Doc's Kitchen rom back. After that, the phone gets stuck in the boot screen, does not even get to the boot animation.
I flashed a clean JM9 firmware, and got no problems, but if I install CWM and flash anything else, it locks again. From CWM, I cannot mount /system /data or /cache, because I get a "Cannot mount /system: !" error message.
I've also tried applying / removing lagfixes, and flashing EZBase and upgrading to the kitchen rom.
Reinstalling MIUI I got "SD Card damaged" notification, but everything else works fine.
I'm pretty out of ideas here. I've been reading around and haven't found anything similar.
By the way, MIUI rocks. I just wish I could solve the external SD problem and I would use it forever.
Anyone has any tips?
Thanks.

Could you try to use another sdcard?
I think you should try to reinstall again. Follow the guide provided by galnet or itskapil.

I have installed RC6, and I have exactly the same problem.
When I insert the microsd, I get a "damaged sd card" notification telling me I have to format it. If I press "format", the card formatted is the internal sd, instead of the external.
And after that, /mnt/emmc is still empty and I cannot copy anything there.
It must be a deeper problem, as I thinks it is what makes me unable to install any other ROM.
did you ever fix the miui problem, or get into download mode to reflash another rom? I used miui, then bricked my phone trying to flash back to darkys
Hello,
first, sry for my bad English.
Then i've got a huge problem and can't fix it on my own.
The following has happend:
I rooted an flashed my HTC Tattoo (Clockworkmod 5.xxx and Cyanogen 7.1). Everything went fine after some issues with rooting the phone. But finally i got into Clockwork recovery, backed up everything and flashed the Cyanogen Mod.
Worked perfekt. For a few days. Then, suddenly the phone told me, my sdcard is empty. Than i tried a lot of things to get this working again, but without any success.
I tried to conect my phone via USB to my pc - fail.
I tried to mount the sd card via "Android Terminal APP" - fail.
I tried to mount the sdcard via Colockworkmod - fail.
And now the phone doesen't boot anymore. I can see the "Tattoo"-screen and thats it. No more progress in booting. So I wanted to restore everything an than flash den ROM again. But without my sdcard, i can restore anything. And i don't get a connection to my pc.
I red a lot of similar problems on the HTC Desire, but it seems to me, I am the only one, having these problems on HTC Tattoo.
Could anybody please help me. Many thanks in advance.
Have you tried another sd-card?
Hi again,
as I found out this evening, the sdcard was somehow broken. With a new sdcard, I could easily get the card mounted and formated in Clockworkmod.
Now my Problem is: How to get an recovery.img for the HTC Tattoo? Any suggestions on this one?
Or can I just flash in cyanogenmod once more?
Thanks for the advice.
A friend of mine, who used a stock samsung rom (i think it was jvt) with a rooted kernel received an mms which didn't want to display the picture. he clicked a couple of times on it nad then everything began:
- First problem, the phone froze and then it was stuck on boot loop. That was when he called me and asked for help. i adviced him to do a full wipe and try again, no success.
- than i told him to mount his internal sd card, to put a rom on it and flash it. but his pc didn't recognize it.
- i told him to put it on his external sd. I knew, flashing from external sd could cause some problems, but it helped me sometimes. everything went fine. phone booted up, but asked for a pin and displayed something like "encryption failed". So it adviced him to wipe, what didn't help
-the next they i got his phone. First thing i tried was to flash a 3file-stock rom, but it ended with a dbdata errer after installation, so it bootlooped again. Then i tried to install dozens of roms, with repartition, without repartition, a one zip-rom, only the missing dbdata. nothing helped.
- my last attempt was to flash an older froyo rom, which i flashed with pit and repartition. Now recovery and download mode are gone. only thing it does is dislpaying "galaxy s" and turing off again.
long story short: the phone is totally bricked now and i have no idea what to do?
Any ideas?

Its not totally bricked cause it turns on.
Buy a JIG and connect to phone then download will appear
flash stock rom then get warranty if still not working.
thanks, so i hope i'll get the jig soon. what would you flash then?

i would flash stock using odin. then if that works root, flash custom and etc.
If the flashing fails then just fix it from support or try again with JIG.
If u fully stuff up your phone and it doesn't even turn on, go to samsung
and say it stuffed up while u were updating it and hopefully they will fix it for you!
ok so that's what i'll do. any suggestion which specific ROM i should flash? One file rom or 3 file roms? Gingerbread or froyo? do i have to flash a fresh bootloader?

To be honest i'm kinda new with rooting and etc on the SGS, but luckily had heaps of experience on my other android phone.
Well if i was you i would do some research on how to unbrick bricked phones, there should be heaps of vidoes on youtube.
Then i would ask here, then do pray that everything will go well and flash stock rom with ODIN. Well i would prefer GingerBread but it doesn't matter which one.
But if it does stuff up flashing Froyo would be better so you can make the excuse of updating to GingerBread and stuffing up.
Have you tried odin? Does it recognize the phone when you are in download mode? If you cannot go into download mode, find a usb jib for i9000 (cca 10e) and you will get into download mode. Then flash some XXJVU with odin. After that try Slim ICS 3.0 works flawlessly for me!

so this is going to get even more weird:
suddenly the phone started on its own and booted, but i was almost not responding and it was russian i think. then i removed the sd and it didn't want to boot anymore. when i reinsert the sd it boots, but only with this specific sd.
so i decided to make myself a jig to get into download mode. that was no problem, so i flashed jvq with odin. everything went fine, no errors anymore right after flashing. the phone restarted but it wasn't responsive like before. so i flashed again, this time without sd card. but now after flashing there ere some erros like "can't mount media...)
result: the phone won't boot up anymore?
something must have linked the sd card to the phone. to you have any idea? maby flashing bootloaders?
i have flashed dbdata cause it was still mentioned as missing in the error report right after flashing. result: completely bricked phone. It stays off, no jig helps anymore...
Read broodplanks guide to unbrick i9001, may work on ur phone. Or try another sd card, unplug the battery, try everything..
Btw what's ur friends phone? I9000 ?

Can someone please help me? I have a Samsung focus that was recently acting up.. Games wouldn't open etc.. so I decided to reset it.. After I reset it.. Its now stuck at the Samsung logo after resetting.. I am guessing that I need to reflash it.. If so, I need to make sure my battery isn't dead. Does the Phone charge while showing the Samsung boot logo?? Help Please..
I dont have a focus but with a Google search looks bout the same as I wud do on my epic ..found this if it helps http://forums.androidcentral.com/dr...ks/130642-help-stuck-samsung-boot-screen.html
Alright, heres what I did.1. Rebooted in*CWM2. Wiped data/factory reset3. Wiped cache partition4. Wiped dalvik cacheAt this point I couldn't reflash because I forgot I couldn't access my SD card, I kept getting the "e:can't mount /sdcard" message whenver I went to install zip from sd card.5. Took off the back and pooped out the SD card and put it right back in. Seemed to work6. Flashed 2.07. Flashed kejar's sd card fix8. Rebooted through*CWMPhone starts up, do all the set up stuff, but still can't access my sd card or anything. Booted back into*CWM*just to see and was getting the "e:can't mount /sdcard" error again and couldnt reflash anything, so back to step 1.Here's a list of other things I have done since the original crap out a few days ago that might be affecting this.*1. Yesterday I tried reflashing 2.0 and it seemed to be boot looping again. So I just wiped data and cache partition and flashed 1.9.1 that I had on my SD card. Was having the same problems so that was the only time I tried it. Not sure if built in kernels might affect anything or whatever.2. After it seemed like I had a stable 2.0 again last night. I flashed blue*CWM*because I've had yellow this whole time. I also flashed EP1 radios through ODIN because I was planning on going to GG 2.1 (I was following your video dave! its awesome btw*).I'm not sure at what point I lost access to my SD card. Ive read a lot this morning about voodoo lag fix affecting things. Could this be a problem with what I've done?

Thanks for your help but seeing as your phone is an Android phone, I don't think the same process applies. But thanks for the effort, I have this baby up and running now.. I just had to reflash the ROM.. Thanks again :good:

If you have decided to reflash then use ROM provided by 'voluptuary' (3.10a). And moreover, to flash, it would not matter if your battery is getting charged. Just plug the device to your PC using the USB cable and flash the device.
Be VERY sure you flash the correct ROM for your phone. If you have a version 1.3, then ONLY flash 1.3 ROMs to it. If you have a version 1.4, then ONLY flash 1.4 ROMs to it. You can find the version number under the battery on the sticker. If you flash the wrong version of ROM to it, you will end up with a brick.
When having problems like this, I would recommend flashing the Stock ROM to it first to set everything back to normal. Then, if that works fine, go to custom ROMs if desired. Stock flashing will replace everything back to new settings, including spl, radio, etc... Some of the custom ROMs are truly worth flashing, FASTER, stable, nice features.

I know I had 3.05a and reflashed 3.10a Clean Rom.. It works great now... I remember I use to have problems with the 3g but not after reflashing it works great
