[Q] i think i bricked my mytouch 3g...please HELP..ASAP..PLEASE

I have a original nytouch 3g rooted, just flashed to the cm6-rc2, it worked fine EXCEPT there's NO market app and gmail app. so i went online to ask and some1 said to install market and gmail i need to have Gapps installed and he showed me to go to Rom manager to get those. I went there and saw google app but to be able to install it, it said i must have the ClockworkMod installed first, so i did then it prompt to reboot the phone...i hit OK to reboot it and the phone just got STUCK on the Booting loop, never got to the home screen, i assumed i bricked the damn phone. basically, iam screwed..please anyone help me to fix it, PLEASE..thanks alot
Can u get into recovery or anything? That shouldn't brick your phone. U need to go to amonra 1.7.0 recovery. Forget that method of gapps. Just download and flash the link. People have been having a lot of problems with your method

well, i tried to turn on the phone by holding home+power, it went to this screen:
ClockworkMOd Recovery v2.5.0.1
-reboot system now
-apply sdcard:update.zip
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard
-nandroid
-partitions menu

________________________________
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
if i try to select reboot system now, it wont work, it'll will boot but got stuck on boot screen forever.
i did try to select "wipe data/factory reset" then "wipe cache partition" then select "intall zip form sdcard" then it takes me to my sdcard that shows this:
Choose a zip to apply
-Android/
-clockworkmod/
-dcim/
-lost.dir/
-update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed
I select "update-cm-6.0.0-rc2..", wait for it to flash then reboot and the phone still gets stuck on boot screen, seems like nothing fixed..
I assumed the issue is the ClockworkMod messed everything up, but i just don't know how to get rid of it....
sigh....so frustrated...i had an iphone before and it's so simple, if you mess up just restore via itunes and everything goes back to stock.. anyway, please help anyone...please
Did u try downloading amonra 1.7.0 and flashing it?
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
Did u do a nandroid backup before u flashed the Rom? If u did just restore. If u can I have RA-sapphirev-1.7.0g as my recovery. Same phone as u. You're not bricked. Just need to undo what u did.

no, i didn't do any backups...stupid me..is there any other way to fix when i don't hava a backup?
Can you get your sdcard to show up on your computer? If you can. Try wiping everything in recovery. Re-partition your sdcard leaving the values as they are. Then download cyanogen 5.0.8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688262 putting that on your sdcard and flashing it to see if it boots up. Also this is the recovery you should have stayed with. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and need to go back to. Page also has instructions on different ways to flash it. Let us know what happens. Use g version at top of downloads btw
Make sure that while in recovery you flash the 5.0.8.zip and then flasht the Google Add-on .zip before rebooting.
Actually I flashed them separate and all was well. Just trying to get you into the os so u can flash the recovery and get rid of Rom manager. If u can't get your sdcard on your comp to load another Rom to boot u might have to change your recovery through fastboot. Then flash new Rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719. More info on fastboot flashing ect.

thanks alot guys for helping, i got it worked again, though. i load cm5.0.8 on another sdcard and flash it, it finally booted to the home screen..however, when i tried to go to recovery screen again by holding home+power to flash gapps app, i still see the white "clockworkmod.." on top and bottom of the recovery screen though...weird..is there anyway to get rid of it??? cause' i think it's installed on my phone but don't know how to go in my phone to delete it. any ideas?? thanks
U still have that recovery flashed to your phone. Download the one I posted put on sdcard and use terminal method on that thread to flash

clock work is fine.... do u still see the options u have? install from zip? after downloading gapp or roms correctly... go into download folder, locate gapp or roms n flash.
by downloading correctly means... having good internet connection and not having data shifting from 3g to e to wateva. plus dont do anything else beside the download. if u lose connection or shifting in connection speed... cancel download n redownload...this will keep download file from getting corrupted during download process... for future referrence - u should do this to everydownload
we r here to help hopefully this will fix ur problem

[Q] myTouch slide in boot mode

i tried rooting my phone thru ADB and was successful. i rebooted to recovery by mistake and i cant get back to the custm recovery. i had already wiped everthing and like a fool i did not do a any backup!!! i can only get to the fastboot & stock recovery, can' flash anything & cant gain ADB access! Any help on what i can do?
put update.zip on your sdcard and that should fix your problem
I believe that only helps if he flashed eng build.
I did the same thing when I first tried root... Just keep trying to get into the recovery loop like you did the first time then flash

[HELP] Stuck at HTC logo after installing bacon on unofficial CMod

What I did
1. Install unofficial CMod
2. Installed baconbits
Problem after bacon bits install on unofficial CM: i boot up the phone but it gave me an error/popup for every application i was running "google voice has encountered an error" "com.android has encountered an error" etc etc. endless popups to where i couldnt do anything on the phone other than locking and unlocking it.
what i tried to do to fix it:
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Tried applying Stock Recovery, thinking it would somehow help
current problem: stuck at HTC logo
please help! i just want to get it back up and running, any rom... rooted or not. i cant even get into the phone
Wow u really messed up.
Idk how to truly guide u out of this because it seems like u really don't know what ur doing. But your going to have to restore the phone. Read the thread about unrooting and returning to stock.
Also if I'm not mistaking you can fastboot flash system.img and data.img from pc10img.zip but as I said idk 100%
And flashing stock recovery is a no no because it can only read htc zips so it will block you out from flashing a new update.zip

Can you get into fastboot? Power the phone down and hold VolDown+Power.
Flashing baconbits over a non-official CM 6.1 was a mistake.... Baconbits is just an addon for a stock rom... CM 6.1 will have everything that baconbits has and more...
yes i can get into fastboot. problem is finding a htc signed rom... i think
If you are still S-OFF, you can flash clockwork mod recovery using fastboot and then just boot into recovery and install whatever rom...

i love you, no homo
just out of curiousity, how did u install that cm rom? if u used clockwork like it required, all u had to do after u messed up flashing bacon, was wipe, and restore, or reflash the rom again. why did u flash a stock recovery?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
did a wipe, stuck at htc logo. didnt know i could just flash the cm file with clockwork... thought i had to use the clockwork rom manager when the phone is booted up. flash stock recovery, for some reason, i dont know. cried for an hour. called tmobile, had them send me a replacement. now on the phone telling them to cancel first android phone so im a noob, be kind

Can someone help me please?

My phone won't get passed the t-mobile mytouch 4g screen. This happened after I backed up my stock rom using rom manager and did a full wipe to start clean ut no after I went back and restored my backup, my phone is stuck on the mytouch screen and won't get pass that. Is my phone bricked? or can it be saved? can someone pls help me? I just got this phone yesterday and rooted it with no problem. All I did after the root was add a custom kernel. Everything was going great until I restored my backup. Pls help. Thanks in advance.
try going into the bootloader. press power& the volume down button at the same time. then let it load, select the option to boot into recovery. once u do that wipe all cache, data, and restore the backup u made. but if it doesn't boot up again then it might be a defective backup. might have to start fresh with flashing a new rom. but keep trying once u boot into the phone tho. goodluck!
I tried that and still not working. Is there away I can get a stock rom to flash?

Now I can't even boot into clockworkmod recovery. Now it boots me to the stock recovery. How can I get clockworkmod recovery back? I can't flash a rom without it.

The phone still says s-off so I don't know what is wrong and since I bought the phone yesterday I can take it back to t-mobile to get a new one but won't they notice the s-off and not exchange it?
Use Fastboot. It is like adb, but only uses the bootloader on the phone. If you don't have the SDK installed, you can get adb and Fastboot from TrueBlue_Drew's thread in the dev subforum.

Is there an official update.zip I can probably apply through the stock recovery?
Thanks Jaylito and Jggimi for your help, was able to get into cwm recovery and flash a new rom. It looks like I had a bad backup. Thanks again to you both.

[Q] Do I have a brick?

I was running CM7 RC3 fine on my phone, then I decided to switch back to my nandroid backup to stock ( I have done this wil ICed glacier/CM7 RC2/RC1/Royal Ginger etc with no problems). And I have been stuck on the boot splash screen the "Tmobile Mytouch 4g" screen for 20 minutes now without any action... is this a brick? I know I should not worry, but I tried wiping the dalvik cache the acahe and reset to factory setting.... still nothing
How do I go about getting the phone to work?
Thanks
are you running recovery 3.0.0.6? have you tried a battery pull?
Yes, a battery pull was tried, and I am running 3.0.0.5... any help is really appreciated
How do I possibly install 3.0.0.6 now? is it possible?
Thanks
need 3.0.0.6 to run stock or royal glacier. or 2.5.1.2. need to reinstall cm7 and use rom manager to flash recovery. or at least its the eaisest way for me.
follow drews guide and let us know how it goes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681
unfortunately, I am not being able to go back to royal ginger (its on the toyal ginger splash screen now) I am downloading CM7 RC3 again, but have no way to put it on the sdcard coz I do not have a card reader at this point....... so frustrated.
you can use recovery to mount usb and it will mount the sd card and can tranfer files from computer to card. if you can get to recovery its not bricked. make sure you format boot sys data and cache in mount screen before trying reflash.
Push the cwm 3.0.0.6 recovery image to your phone via adb
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Google easy way to get 3.0.0.6 and it should be a zip file u flash in recovery called clockwork_recoveries.zip or something like that. You go into rom manager pick all recoveries and flash 3.0.0.5 and reboot into recovery and it should say 3.0.0.6 now u can flash any rom and restore without getting stuck
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
Your phone is not bricked. As others have stated, you need to re-flash a gingerbread ROM (like CM7) in order for it to boot.
Best thing to do is install ClockworkMod Recovery version 3.0.0.6 because it can flash both gingerbread and froyo ROMs. You can do this in two ways:
1. Re-flash a Gingerbread ROM. Download TrueBlue_Drew's .zip file from his thread in Development and follow his instructions to be able to flash the included recovery images from ROM Manager.
2. If you have the engineering bootloader (0.85.2007, also some people call it ENG SPL), and if you've set up ADB on your computer, then you can use the fastboot utility to flash recovery images directly to the device. I personally prefer this method. If you can't find instructions to do this, PM me.
