What exactly did u do to get that error??? Did u wipe data,cache,delvik & format system,i always format sd card also in case the sd card has a currupt file... did it automatically give the errors once u flashed?? Did u check the mdsum on the file to make sure u had a full zip file??? What recovery did u use 3.0.2.4 or 3.0.0.6??Sorry need to ask questions in order to help lol.... Ive heard of people fixin their phones with the part7backup-xxxxx.bin file & the pd15 file....just stick those to the root of the sd card go into recovery & let the phone to its thimg..

@cmdmilitia13 Thanks so much for even trying to help! i have clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 .... i flashed, worked perfectly, installed the rom the last night, woke up in the morning, phone wouldnt turn on, took out battery, and when it finally loaded, it kepts rebooting back to the loading screen.... i went back to recovery, tried to wipe data and cache, wont work, did delvik, and didnt say if it was successful or not but i formatted sd card, as soon as i try to format system it says:
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/log and etc.
as soon as i try a wipe it says the similar

Royalginger requires recovery 3.0.0.6 or 3.0.2.4....3.0.0.5 was mainly for cm7 but clockwork updated to flash froyo & gingerbread now... I believe u can dwnload a cm7 rom to the sd card frm the pc then try to flash that if that dnt wrk then if u rooted by using gfree method & have the 0.85.2007 bootloader it should of created a part7xxxx.bin file & that will help unrootin the phne & startin frm scratch again...

Theres a couple threads on here that could help u out,ur not fully bricked tho... I had this issue about 3 months ago when there barely was a fix now at least u have a chance..

i have the 0.86.0000 bootloader, will that be a problem? if not if i google how to unroot i should be able to find it easily?

i also downloaded cm7 tried to install, and the same rom and issues still pop up, so i guess my only choice is to unroot, but how do i unroot without using terminal?

If you rooted with gfree, go back to the thread that guided you. It has instructions on how to unroot. Basically you want to place part7backupxxxxxx.zip on the root of your SD, download PD15IMG.zip, place on root of SD, then load bootloader and let it do it's thing, responding when prompted. If you can't mount the card you're going to have to find a way to mount it outside of the phone, either with an adapter or a card reader.

You need the engineering bootloader to use adb, both will run the PD15IMG.zip.

The reason we talk about is pretty simple. .85 allows you to use ADB commands and flash stuff via the HBoot engine. Where .86 does not allow you to. So if you get in "semi-brick" mode you can 9/10 times get your self up and rocking.
had it happen earlier today as a matter of fact.

and this one rings a bell....

They were both what most people would call bricked, but since they had the .85 engineering screen we could get them up and running.

Stuck on boot logo (green mytouch logo)

Okay so I just got the phone today and though I knew how to root it and whatnot. So, I followed this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/. Everything was working fine until I tried to install this theme (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493434) as update.zip.
Now I am stuck at the green "MyTouch" boot logo and cannot start my phone. I would like to get this fixed asap but I don't know how. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Thanks guys.
to me it sounds like bad flash/download
the only thing i'd suggest is wipe, then reflash the rom
then redownload the theme
then reflash it(no wipe)
and it should work
oh and sometimes themes first load up take time give it 15 minutes tops
if it doesn't work
then do as i said
I tried factory wipe like 10 times and I'm still stuck at the boot logo. I don't really care if I have root anymore, so what can I do to just get my phone back to normal? Meaning, how can I just get my phone to start up? What file would I need to flash to get it back to normal? (Can you try and be specific as I am still learning)
Also, I can't add anything to the SD card cause my phone won't fully start up, so I guess I'll have to buy a SD reader tomorrow?
Hmmm what if I flashed the nibh file using fastboot (the file meant for unrooting the phone). Anyone think that'd work?
Someone please help...I'm totally freaking out and it's so discouraging just having bought this phone and now I can't use it

you need a fresh install of cyan 4.0.4 then try to flash the theme\
wipe,, flash cm-4.0.4 let is bootup then flash the theme ... Don't do what some idots do ,, flash then wipe ,, its wipe then flash,,you must let it boot after the fresh install ......
To answer your ? Bout unrooting, yes the dreaimg.nbh meant for downgrading so you can root is also the same file to unroot, just flash it in fastboot or the bootloader and it will take you back to stock.
If you are running cm recovery 1.4, you can mount your sd card in the recovery console
By typing ums_enable to mount and ums_disable to unmount than type reboot or recovery to exit the console

Hmm I'm gonna try this method in a minute, but, one question, how can I type ums_enable/disable on the mytouch while on recovery?
Okay so I fixed it. I simply bought an SD card reader, placed the sappimg.nbh file on my sd card. Booted with Volume Down + Power and then flashed the sappimg.nbh and now my phone has finally started up thanks!

i was wearing hangover glasses, just made the assumption that it was a g1 since we are in the dream forum and not the mytouch one, oh by the way hershey was fun, i rode all the big kids ride and i did not cry once

[Q] EVO Rom/Root problems

I am having some serious issues with my evo. I have tried 10 different methods, googled 100 different help guides and still no fix.
I had originally rooted my phone using simple root and put the "fixed" froyo rom on there. Everything worked fine, but I was outdated and having some really slow issues so I wanted to try a new rom...Fresh.
Well I tried a few methods, but I somehow reverted my evo back to a nonroot of the original OS. Whenever i go into hboot, my recovery does not work. I push the PC36img and load it, then restart then I attempt to go to my recovery where it gives me the error picture with the yellow/red triangle. I then select recovery (after pressing UP volume and powerbutton) and try to load update from sd card. Everytime I do that I get a Failed error.
I've tried to reroot using several methods off this website, I've done everything I can to get it working but can't. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Try reflashing your recovery image.
BTW I have hboot 79.0 with S-ON, so it looks like I def became unrooted.

Not sure how it would have just unrooted itself. I would run an RUU from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
Then, I would re-root and start clean again.

I would have waited about ten minutes then restarted the phone. If the phone is stuck at the HTC logo, then I would go ahead and re-run the RUU.
Let me know how it turns out.

ok, finally got it working. Had to restart the phone manually and try it on a different computer. It updated it to the newer version of android and hboot, thank goodness! That was the easiest and most productive thing I've been able to do so far, thanks!
Well now I try to boot into recovery and get the same error:
can't open /cache/recovery/command
Then I get :
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
When i try to load update from sdcard

Ok, so, I think you said you got the RUU working which would have completely restored the phone to unrooted and stock from factory.
Now, you need to re-root your phone using one of the methods on xda. I used the manual method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045. However, many people have had success with the one-click methods.
After you re-root (which will likely included installing a recovery), select a rom you want to try, boot to recovery, wipe and flash it. A great starter ROM is MikFroyo 4.6 or 4.5.
Try downloading the PC36IMG.zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
put that on the root of your SD card, then boot into HBOOT and it should find that PC36IMG.zip after a few seconds and ask if you want to flash it. Choose yes and let it finish. Should then be able to reboot into recovery.
ok thanks, i'll try it when I get back home

Ok, I tried this method...the filesize of pc36img.zip is only 3.5mb, but it didn't seem to work. It scanned the file then just went back to the hboot screen with my options never asking to flash.
I'm going to try to reroot using the other method now...
So I clicked the link and he forwarded to the autoroot.bat page so I used his method. It worked well (the 2nd time around) all the way until it started to push amon_ra_1.8-mod.... then after that it says rebooting into the bootloader, and it reboots into it and just says waiting for phone...
It does appear that my phone is rooted now, but my recovery is still not working. If I use ROM manager will it work since my phone is rooted or do I need to have a rooted ROM to run it off of?

Does your phone show s-off while in the bootloader? If so you should be able to run the FlashZip script and use that to flash the pc36img-sprintlovers zip. That one contains everything needed to bring your phone up to date and will leave you with a rooted rom and recovery.

FINALLY! Thanks a million! My recovery is now working and it installed the built in sprinter lovers rom, I guess the anti-virus was stopping it so I disabled it and ran the flash script. I was able to install Fresh on there, just to try it out. I do have a few questions though:
1. I noticed after going through many pages that to update to a newer ROM version you don't always have to wipe clean, you can just install (or flash) the new update? I noticed in Fresh there is a built in app that does that. Is this true for most ROMS or only certain ones?
2. I assume I am using the RA recovery. I noticed the backup/restore feature on there. What exactly does that backup and when should I use it?
3. I've noticed I've been very low with memory on my phone (not SD card), I have about 258MB free. How can I clear space and when I mount my phone what files are important to keep and can I get rid of, is it okay to get rid of my rom.zip's and radio.zip's?
Thanks again to everyone, autoroot was def the most painless root ever.

1) You'll want to always wipe your cache/dalvik (I do everytime I'm in the recovery) but the Data depends on the ROM. Usually if you are going from one sense rom to another you are ok and the same for AOSP to AOSP. Going from Sense to AOSP you'll need to wipe data though.
2) Autoroot comes with a modified version of AmonRA, they are mostly just speed tweaks. To make a complete backup of your ROM select Boot (kernel), System (ROM), Data (Apps & Settings) and .android (apps on SD card)
3) You can delete the zips from your sd card if you don't need them but that's about normal for free memory.

bricked?

I am stock at tmobile screen, it doesnt go any further
i went in recovery it returns as

the "fastboot erase recovery" returns with "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" and the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" returns the same thing. Any other suggestions???
I tried to restore pd15img and
it works little bit, and it asked me to upgrade, i pressed the volume up

This has happened to quite a few people lately and I don't think they have been able to come back from it. Out of curiosity though, what caused this? Were you flashing something and this happened? Do you have the engineering bootloader? Attached is a thread of someone with the same problem, and like I said, there are a couple more out there.

didnt have a problem until i put the royalglacior 1.5 version.
than i could use the wifi, it gave me an error, i rebooted few times, and always error, and finally gave up.
I had the same fastboot errors when trying to flash from 3.0.0.5 to 2.5.1.2 after i mistakenly flashed 2.5.1.2 when i had cm7. You may need to update your sdk.

First, there is only RoyalGlacier v 1.2 as of the latest for now. Since you used that CWM 3.0.0.6 while battery charge off, there is a chance it might have reverted back to CWM 3.0.0.5 and RoyalGlacier requires 3.0.0.6 and stock restore requires 2.5.1.4 but your recovery may be 3.0.0.5. Try flashing a ROM that just requires 3.0.0.5. For future reference, use this version of CWM 3.0.0.6 from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681). That sticks and never reverts back to .5.
Thanks for replies, n advices.
I have tried every which way possible to put the recoveries, and all failed.
I have had 3.0.0.6 modified for a while. was not going back and forth with 2.5.1.4
anyone else come out of this mess,
if not is there a way to get it to even at s - on and unroot?
I dont think so, but worth to ask
thanks
I'm having the same issue where it gets stuck at the Tmobile spash screen and when i boot into clockwork, it gives me the cache error. Formatting it through clockwork doesnt work, and when i try to restore it it also give me an error. I tried to format through adb but that hasn't worked either, unless I'm typing in the command wrong
I dnt believe there is a way to fix that issue,i had that issue awhile back on my 1st mytouch 4g,i had cm7 & made the mistake of tryin to nandroid restore a backup which I forgot was stocked froyo & everythin flashed ok but got stuck in bootloop,so battery pulled went to recovery & had all those errors u mentioned & never found a fix.....called tmobile,got a replacement no problems 2 mnth later & warranty still there..... Now I have clockwork 3.0.0.6 & havent ran into that issue yet,goodluck let us knw if u find a fix....

Im not really to sure,a friend of mine had the same issue & went thru HTC & got a replacement so want im guessin is they dnt care but dnt hold it against me,it could of been 1 of those lucky times. All he said was that the phone wnt boot & they just sd it was a known issue & sent him another one...
well I think I've successfully bricked my mt4g. It was working fine until I installed the latest clockwork version and RoyalGinger, tried to restore some applications + data with mybackup root but it froze. Then it was stuck on a bootloop, went back into clockwork and started getting the "can't mount cache" errors. Now it's stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen if I try to do a normal boot, bootloader works and it also goes into clockwork, but it's not able to do any factory resets/wipe. Tried the factory image file and it fails on the first 5 or 6 items, skips another item and hangs at flashing the radio. Now it needs to be replaced and T-Mo is out of stock of the red mt4g's, so I have to wait until they have stock of red ones, then it's going to suck if I get one with a bad screen. I got offered a black one, but I just like my red one too much.
did you include the part file when flashing the PD15IMG.zip?
"there needs to be part7backup-1294463706.bin file on your sd card with the PD15IMG.zip file...both on the root of sd card."
I'm thinking that the file comes stock on the sdcard, but when we format our sdcard it wipes it. I know I personally ran the PD15IMG.zip file twice on my phone and both times it worked great, but both times I did it before I wiped my sdcard (and I do remember a ridiculous amount of extra stuff on the sdcard when it came with the phone).

That part7-xxxxx.bin file is created when u root with the gfree method,it doesnt come stock on the sd card... what method did u use to root...dnt use unlockr.com methods,its old & doesnt give true oerm root...
I made an assumption, i just used the basic root.sh script so I didn't read into the gfree method (see no need). I just know that people who have had trouble reverting to stock with the PD15IMG.zip fixed the issue by putting that part7backup file on the root of their sdcard.

gfree method would of gave u S off & that backup file,really I dnt think theres a fix for that just yet,without that file..... For future reference never restore data fron any backup app(ex.titanium,astro erc) u can only restore apps cause then u restorin data from a different rom & tryin to put it on a current rom that probably isnt the same...

I simply made an assumption about the gfree method, which was cleared up, though I still think it's a very real possibility that the op didn't put the part7 file on the root of his sdcard when he flashed the pd15img.zip. Either way, I thank you for your advice, but I'm not the one seeking it here.

bro i know all that stuff, talk to me like talking to someone that knows a lot but made a little error that is costing much, yeah i put it in the sd and it scan but it does not find it?
Check THIS out. If your CWM looks like that screen shot, follow the method that fixed mine. BUT if the first line that comes up is COMMAND ERROR or something like that... your f*cked man, sadly. I feel your pain I have a glorified battery charger right now.

Help problem with mytouch 4g
Hi i have a MyTouch 4G rooted with Virtuous Fusion ROM. Everything was working until when I tried to install Miui Music Player on it. I did adb push but after doing it when i unplugged the phone from my computer several Force Close came up then i rebooted my phone then the MYTOUCH Tmobile logo start up screen came then the HTC logo came then my phone will shut down. I tried to start my phone again the same thing happen. I did Hboot and tried recovery from there but it didnt work. I tried Factory Reset but it failed. I go to clockwork recovery mode if i do backup and restore or factory reset nothing happens. Does it mean my phone is gone? Is there anything i can do to fix it? Please anybody help
If when you go into hboot it says you have s-off and you're able to get into recovery and its the latest like you say, then you should still be good.
From a pc just download any rom. I suggest downloading cm latest nightly just for the mean time.
-Go into recovery on your device.
-Plug your device to the pc go into mount and storage and mount sdcard.
-On your pc open your device sdcard and place the nighly rom you downloaded in it.
-Unmount your sdcard from your device, press the back button and from recovery flash the nighly rom.
Hope that works for you.

You're confusing me man. I thought the whole reason for this post was because you couldn't flash roms. But now you're saying it goes into cm7 but you have fc's. So I really do not see anything wrong. You're just probably doing some thing to cm7 that's not compatible with it.
I just say re-download cm7 and re-flash it. Before flashing though, clear all data l/factory reset, cache and dalvik.

noo bro the recovery is fuc--d up... it does not mount cache and it doesnt flash sense roms and nor other rom... it dont fix permissions, it freezes a lottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt...... i just dont know what to do.
If you are getting the cant mount cache error fallow what I said (if you have hboot and know adb) Flash a 2.x.x.x CWM reboot recovery format cache. BUT if you get an error in adb when trying to flash the old CWM (something like write FAILED I think I don't remember exactly) but if you get that error...as stated above, you're f*cked. I have a glorified battery charger too so I feel your pain. But as of right now there isn't a cure for the EMMC failing (which is what causes this issue.)
Hope you can flash an old CWM. If so I recommend unrooting and rerooting with the root.sh method.

no i did not do flashin through hboot. I downloaded a zip file for MIUI Music player then unzip it on my computer at C/: android-sdk-windows/tools Then i did the ADB push for miui apk to /system/app. After i did this several force close came up then i removed my phone from my PC and restarted my phone. Then start up logo comes out but my phone will not completely boot up. What can i do to fix this? Does this mean my phone is bricked.

Evo 4g STOCK S-On Stuck in a boot loop

Ok so my girls evo 4g is still stock and NONrooted. She was having some connection issues and we called up sprint. They had me punch in some numbers in a menu that came up buy pressing ##somenumbers#. after i entered the numbers they told me to a promt came up saying "press ok to reboot" and i did that. after that the phone is now stuck in a boot loop. They dont know wtf happened so they are sending her a replacement but since its on "back order" (wonder why, they're always on backorder lol) they say itll prob take about 1 week or 2 before we get it and in the meantime i dont need her tieing up my phone (its MINE gdamit) im wondering what i can do. The phone will go into Hboot and Android recovery (3e) so i was considering trying to install the PC36img on her phone but i dont want to screw anything up. and since i cant get bast the boot screen i dont know what to look for so i dont mess up.
Again:
STOCK NONroot (ever)
S-On
Boot loop
please help.
Thank you
Will it let you get to the hboot? Pull out the battery for a few seconds then reolace it. Hold power and volume up. If you can get to the hboot you might be able to do a factory reset or even relash the stock rom

it will let me into hboot and from there i can go into recovery. BUT when in recovery i get the phone icon with 3 green arrows going in a circle then shortly after it turns to a phone icon with a red triangle/exclimation. when i get the text to come up it Android System Recovery <3e> in blue text and gives me the following options
Reboot System now
Apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
and then under it in yellow text i get the following:
E:can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:can't mount /data/data/recovery/log
E:Can't open /data/data/recovery/log
Put the sdcard in a card reader and put in a ruu zip pcmwhatever.zip at the root of the card, boot into hboot and say yes to all prompts once it finds the file in hboot. Remember, it must be. Stock sprint ruu

well thats what i was thinking of doing but cant seem to find a recent one and ive been to Shipped roms but im not sure what the latest ota one is
the current image version on the phone rite now is 4.24.651.1
I will help you out if you haven't found the solution by the time I get home. Basically find the zip of 4.24, rename it PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card. Boot into hboot and it will scan and find the file. Follow the prompts and you should be good.
The site to get it from is Goo.inside.me or something like that. It would be in the Supersonic section

thats exactly my problem i cant seem to find a 4.24 zip that hasn't been messed with and ive been searching all over the place
i think i just found it... ill keep you posted
I cant seem to find the stock 2.3.3 either.. in the hboot try scrolling down to clear storage and try a factory reset, otherwise you will need to flash the stock rom. If I can find one I will post a link
