Question I bought a mytouch 4g and it was stuck on the boot screen and so I checked to see if it had recovery and I went into boot loader and it has s off and when I try to load recovery I get this message
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
If some one could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

It might have failed PU or bad chip from gfree.

Did you buy it that way?

Yeah i bought it that way it was in mint ondition for $80 thought i might be able to fix it. Can i just restore factory rom through bootloader? Im still a newb at this.
The recovery i mentioned is Clockworkmod 3.0.2.4

I'd get your money back if you could. It sounds like this jerk knowingly sold you a bricked phone. When you get those cache errors in recovery, it's essentially bricked. Try searching for restoring by flashing PD15IMG.zip through the boatloader. It's basically unrooting and flashing the stock image, but it does not always work.

What tj said. One way you can try is flashing a clockworkmod 2.x.x recovery from fastboot and fixing the catches. However, if the recovery partition is too far gone you will truly brick the phone. If you can't get your money back try his way then try my way. If neither work you got jacked for $80 sorry bud.

Well i tried to flash PD15IMG.zip and it came back with failed PU. Im going to try and flash a 2.x.x.x. recovery image see if that works.

Update your findings, I'd be interested to know if it worked
Well I tried to set up SDK to use ADB to push the CWM 2.x.x.x. img and its not working properly. It will not detect my device. Ill have to check when i have more time tonight. So far not so good.
"It will not detect my device."
Did you install the HTC driver?
Did you do an "adb devices" first? ( when i do it it says daemon not found starting daemon etc etc or something to that effect, then it shows the device ID -- so in other words, it may have to start some services on your pc first with the devices command before you launch in to pushing files onto an unidentified device -- this last part is just my observation, not gospel)
You can't use ADB for pushing the recovery, unless you have a rooted phone and it boots far enough to use ADB. Otherwise you need to use fastboot, and if you don't have the engineering bootloader - you won't be able to.

--- If you have bricked your HTC Desire Z or G2. I have a method that is sure to work! In the past I bricked the same device and I have found a way around it. Follow these steps and post and thank if it has worked for you! ---
How To Unbrick A HTC Desire Z or G2!
Step 1: If your device is rooted and flashed with "ClockworkMod Recovery" and "S-Off"you want to start by holding down the Volume Down Button and holding the Power Button for about 7 seconds.
Step 2: You will suddenly be welcomed with the HBOOT Menu. Scroll down and select Recovery.
Step 3A: You will then be showed the "ClockworkMod Recovery" Menu. (Read the message below!)
Step 3B: First you will need to Factory Reset and Clear Cache Partition!
**If you have a backup or restore point continue to Step 4A if not you will need to install an alternate ROM and proceed to Step 5 or Factory Reset which will only reset for that ROM. For another possible solution a read end of post!**
Step 4A: Now from here you will of course scroll down to Backup and Restore, select restore and select your point of restore!
Step 5: Now if you have another ROM located on the SD Card of your phone you can scroll down to install zip from sdcard and find the zip file (gapps if required) and install all of the following and reboot!
Step 6: Enjoy your UnBricked device!
---Alternate Solutions----- Fix Permissions and reboot.
-- Factory Reset and Reboot
... lol I had to do this method long ago. Bad thing is I had to find out on my own but is good that you posted this. I think it will help out.

Am not really sure... I've never had this issue before. Well do you know how to use ADB? If you do can't you flash clockwork again maybe that could fix the problem. I really don't know how to use ADB since I used Unforgivens way of s-off.

If your phone is bricked then you won't be able to get into hboot at all. So it would be helpful if you would consider changing the title etc of your posting. This won't help a phone which really is bricked.

I will check for more methods and experimenting. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I have tried this method, but I cannot reach the CWM menu, all I can do is try the standard HBoot recovery from PC10IMG.zip, but it dies at RADIO_V2 step after many Fail-PU on all other steps: what can I do?
My DZ was rooted, flashed with CWM and Virtuous ROM. I have a nandroid backup on the SD. It died today with "can't mount" error messages after a freeze and reboot.
Also tried Factory Reset from HBoot, but it hanged at the "androids on skate" screen forever..
These instructions are just "how to flash a ROM" or at best, what to do after a failed flash.
I don't want to sound like a jerk, I think it's great whenever someone takes the time to help others, but these instructions will not work for a bricked phone.
Allright, I'll keep following the other thread then.

After I select recover the phone just froze at HTC white screen. Clockwork recovery was installed and flashed.
I think this is called "soft-bricked"
hard-bricked is when none of this stuff is possible and you have to send your phone and $40 to that famous dude here in the forum who un-bricks anything.
Hi, I have an unrooted Desire Z on Bell. I recently experienced a hard lock and upon battery pull, discovered that my phone would not boot up (frozen at the htc screen). I can hold volume - and the power button to get into the boot menu, but can't seem to perform a factory reset or enter recovery mode. Recovery brings me to the screen it should initially (with the green circle/arrow symbol) and then the screen goes blank and the phone vibrates a total of seven times before...nothing happens. Selecting factory reset just hangs up the Hboot menu.
All I can really do is go into Fastboot or IMAGE CRC, but don't see any options there. Any one have any ideas?
Before this, i also experience half brick. My DZ already s off. So i just flash the stock rom & gain the root again. Flash the custom rom & my DZ back to normal until now.

I was using CM7 for about a month, without any reboots at all. Recently i got greedy and wanted to try out MIUI, so i downloaded the latest ROM and copied it onto the SD card and ofcourse flashed the system with it. After rebooting i only get to see the lockscreen and after that the phone just reboots. I have tried everything there is, but with no luck.
It seems i can not revert the phone back to stock reco, rom etc. either, because first i need a working system to do that.
Any ideas, people?
Thank You in advance,

You need to have the engineering bootloader on your device in order to flash partitions over USB. To check, turn on your phone by holding volume down and power until the white screen comes up. If you see this on the first two lines
Code:
GLACIER PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.85.2007 (PD1510000)
then you have the engineering bootloader. We'll continue from there if you have it.

The pd15xxximg.zip only works with recovery 2.5.1.2, since you were on 3.0.0.5 when you forced it, you hosed the entire internal storage structure. Now the only hope you have is via fastboot but it requires eng boot loader...
The original error you got only required a quick wipe and re-installation... The pd15xx.zip while on 3.0.0.5 is the real killer...

Didn't know that. Since the 3.0.0.5 is Ext4 and the ROM is Ext3. It makes sense. Do you know if the .6 and the new 3.0.2 will flash the PD15IMG correctly?

im going to try it in a sec, but just two questions. one, isn't this just to change your boot logo? and do i need the continuum pit.pit file?
Yes, it does give the ability to change the boot logo... But when doing it, i noticed that after flashing, the stock recovery does this weird thing where it wipes everything, even when normally it won't... after that, it worked again...... Just know you will loose your data But whatev's
and no, not necessarily..
If that doesn't work, which is probably won't, then reflash the stock recovery, then try the cwm v4 adryn recovery, then try the stock kernel, and then the system image, all in Odin... In that order
oh, and cobitts15... Your dumb... always do a nandroid backup, even if its something simple...
and you are using the wrong Odin... try doing a wipe from within the stock recovery, and if that doesn't work, then download the RIGHT ODIN and flash that file... then go through the steps easily found within the development thread and get cwm working...
can i use heimdall instead of odin? i have a mac

Define "doing stuff". That could be anything, like constantly tapping the volume button scrolling through one screen, or playing with the mounts and formatting options. The more detail you can give about what you were doing, the easier it will be to solve the problem.

I had the same thing happen to me a month ago, but it hung on the verizon screen instead of the samsung screen. Seems our stock dumps don't contain the information to do DNS resolving. If you notice, the WiFi and 3G are both out, because you can't get DNS to work properly. I feel like if we bindiff the dumps with the actual phone we could get an idea of where we can't get, but i guess our problem is actually accessing the part we aren't getting.

Need tons of help! I've been searching the forums for almost 24 hours now trying everything and still can't get it fixed. I rooted and got s-off on my wife's MyTouch 4g. I installed ROM Manager and flashed the latest CWMR 5.0.2.0. I did a full Nandroid backup. Then I tried flashing a Gingerbread ROM over the Froyo rom. It went to white MyTouch screen and never left it. I finally gave up and went back to recovery. When I try to restore using Nandroid, I get this:
Error while formatting /system!
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recover/last_log
I can get into HBOOT, Fastboot and Recovery just fine.
I tried the RUU exe floating around and it always fails trying to reboot bootloader.
I tried letting it autoupdate the stock PD15IMG.zip floating around it always fails.
I've tried flashing different recoveries including older CWMRs and always get error about remote not enabled.
I'm at my wit's end. I'm leaving town tomorrow and need to at least get back to the nandroid backup before I leave. Any advice?

=/ I believe you should've flashed engineering bootloader before wiping your current ROM. Is your phone under warranty?
Ok, here's the deal. I was turned on to heimdall by our beloved Trailblazer101, so I tried to flash a rom via that. Something got borked in it, and now i have no download mode(when i try to boot into dl mode, either via vol down or cwm, it takes me right back to stock recovery), and I'm getting error
E:can't mount dev/block/st111 (invalid arguement) in stock recovery, and
E: Can't mount dev/block/st111 (File still exists)
E: Can't mount recovery/log
E: Can't open recovery/log
in CWM.
I can still flash successfully, but flashing kernel and a known good rom has no effect.
I'm thinking, even though I never did anything with the bootloaders, and it never got tp factory.rfs before heimdall crashed, there might have been something that got screwed up in the boot.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Maybe one of the experts could find a way to get something in a flashable zip?
OK, i do have adb in cwm... so I can push via adb. As soon as I figure out what to push, where
and you really asked this in the wrong section...
I have the cure. Will post in 1 hour.

Thanks.... I've got the error issues resolved. Were you having issues with samsung logo no coming up, and it kicking you straight into stock recovery? DId this help that? That is my current issue.
No, I haven't had that issue yet but if you flash the Odin package from that link with the samsung PIT file (i4000) at the same time (make sure repartition is checked ONLY works w that Ron) it should resolve any/all issues.
