My mytouch 4g that i just rooted is stuck at the mytouch 4g screen. I downloaded a custom rom and since then its stuck at the mytouch 4g screen! when i go to the recovery it says cant load cache and missing things so something is wrong i really need help this is my only phone!! please anyone
did you try restoring your stock rom from from your nandroid backup?
i had a problem similar to that and i think it was because when i made my backup i didn't have enough space on my sd card so it just got stuck on the boot screen. i just flashed the PD15IMG in the bootloader and it completely restored my phone back to stock.

He's getting cache errors which usually points to a failed eMMC chip which he should've checked before rooting. A improperly made backup will not give out cache errors it will either error out or just bootloop your phone till you wipe and reflash a ROM. So if you can get ADB to recognize your phone and can check your eMMC chip it will most likely be the bad one.
Sorry for your bad experience with the phone just send in for a warranty replacement recheck the eMMC on the replacement. If its good go crazy but be careful in what you flash

Jst bcuz u have the bad eMMC don't mean anything. I have the bad one and I've flashed every sense rom, the liquid rom, miui.us, and demonspeed miui. And I haven't had any problems and I've even rooted and s-off and then put s-on and unrooted, and then rooted and s-off again jst to see if becuz I had the bad emmc it would bootloop or die, and nothing... works perfectly fine. So back to the question, since you can't get into recovery go grab the PD15IMG.zip and place it on root of phone, boot into bootloader, and when it asked for update say yes. Let it do its thing. Then reboot, and bam phone should work again. Then jst reroot and use rom manager to flash recovery and there you go.

You've been lucky so far. Just because your eMMC has not yet died, doesn't mean that it won't. If the OP's eMMC has failed, flashing PD15IMG.zip is not guaranteed to work either. Most people get the dreaded Fail-PU error message when flashing it, which means the phone is truly bricked. It's worth a shot though.
Oh, and I hit 'thanks' by accident, so you get your first one for free.

Yes, I'm afraid it is. I was just trying to give a more realistic account of what eMMC failure is like.
I love the smell of fried eMMC chips in the morning.

Like teejay said your lucky yours hasn't died yet. His has failed so he can no longer do anything which is why PD15IMG.zip will just error out.

First off let me start by saying I now know what i did wrong. Next is there anyway i can fix it?
I didn't backup anything and then managed to erase everything... I have CM 6 but as of now all i can get is the boot screen. I tried recovery but that won't work becasue there is no backup. also Before I erased everything i managed to turn s on so now i have no way to turn that off correct? Im basicly looking for a way to restore my phone but if it cant be done then i understand. Right now I am using a samsung vibrant with Nero v3 voodo and understand how to install custom roms now
i have almost the same problem as you I don't know what to do I've looked everywhere.

What do you mean... erase everything? How?
Possible steps:
1. factory reset from H-Boot, see if it boots up normally, then re-root.
2. Install PD15IMG from development section, look it up.
Good luck.
Man, do I feel like an idiot...

Which recovery did you have installed and which h-boot
Did you try seeing if you could s-off through adb? Im not sure if this will work but Download the files you need to get s-off from ur computer and put it on ur SD card via a card reader or some sort, after you get the necessary files put the SD card back into ur phone. Hook it up to ur computer and maybe you can s-off through adb if you can get ur computer to recognize ur phone. Then IF it works, download a rom via computer to it SD card and boot into recovery and flash. Let me know what happens if it works or not

Should have taken my advice from this thread.
I just went thru the same thing and couldn't restore any of the backups it just kept getting stuck on the flash screen. I downloaded the ice glacier rom on to a spare sd card and flashed it thru hboot recovery and it looks like that did the trick.
hi guys if you still cant get your phones working try mobiletechvideos.com, they fixed my phone , my phone wouldn`t do anything .good reliable service, yes its in texas.
Although you didnt create any backups, is it possible that someone can create a backup of a fresh ROM and send that to you?
youshoe said:
Just take the SD card and put a new ROM on it. Then go to recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalkik cache.
Then install zip from sd card and find it.
I like using Royal Panache 1.3.
I think it's stock Mobilicity ROM but no stock software from carrier. Good stuff.
MIUI and Cyanogenmod 7.1 are also good candidates.
I'm currently testing out ICS and you can test it out as well (but in your case, probably try a working one first =P) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383629&page=1

Wrong, he just randomly revived a thread that last post was made in July 2011.

He revived quite a few of them, trying to market what I believe to be his product. Just look at his messages. Don't want to write the name of the product, since it appears he's scoring just for that.
I've reported his posts, but didn't see mod response yet.

FYI if it's older than a week..just let it go
My phone got dropped last night and half of the screen has gone black. I need to send it back.
My plan was: Install stock rom then unroot.
I was on Cyanogen RC2 and I downloaded and tried to install both files from the "Stock Restore" section of the Resource Bible but both times, after I wiped everything and flashed the appropriate file, it takes a few seconds (way way less than usual when flashing a new ROM) and then says it's done. After I reboot, I'm still with Cyanogen. What is the deal and how do I actually get this thing back to stock?
Also, what does Tmobile do if you send back a phone that's been rooted and has a different ROM on it?
I think it depends on if you are trying to get warranty service or an insurance replacement. If you are using your insurance, I don't think it matters what you have done to your phone...insurance is insurance. They won't do warranty service on a rooted phone though. I would wait for some others to chime in, but it might be a good idea to just finish it off and get an insurance replacement.
Wait, are you trying to flash the pcxxxx.zip (can't remember the rest this early) through recovery? If so it wont work I don't think you need to boot into bootloader and it will find the file flash it and your unrooted.
Hope that helped,
Nic

It's the PD15IMG.zip file.
How did you root your phone. Did you Gfree or root.sh or visionary? If you did Gfree you have to go back to that thread and follow the process to reverse it, if you did the others you just drop the PD15IMG.zip file on the root of your sdcard, boot into bootloader, let it load the zip and follow the prompts.
This is how you get it done

Well, Tmobile sent me another since it was only a few months old and under hardware warranty. The issue I have now is, the screen won't come on at all for me to get it back to stock. Will they see that and honor the warranty or will they fix it, see that it's rooted and not honor it?
Any encouraging words?
Guy, I was having issue with my phone it will not boot all the way to the OS, it get stuck at the boot screen.
I boot into recovery and do a restore but the recovery is corrupted some how. I think something cause the Clockmod Recovery partition table. I was getting an error: at partition e:\ something like that, when restoring from my backup.
I decided to try the PD15IMG.zip file that I have backup and it work but I lost the S-off so I have to redo everything to get the S-off again. I'm glad that it fixed the issue and hopefully it will help others that have the same issue as I am.
Ok that's cool I guess. no idea what the point of this topic though

You got the recovery error. Which means you used gfree to root and s off and you also have the bad emmc chip. If I was you I would get a warranty replacement. Keep your phone s on.

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?
Wrong section dude ! Read the forum rules .

=/ I believe you should've flashed engineering bootloader before wiping your current ROM. Is your phone under warranty?
A month ago I rooted my Mytouch 4g and flashed Toasted Marshmellow with no problems. I wanted to go to Synthetic Nightmare's ICS rom since JB seemed a little too glitchy and used ROM Manager to do the flashing for me. However,when my phone booted back up, the white H-boot screen popped up instead of CWM. Instead of pulling the battery out, I accepted the update which brought my phone back to stock froyo. I still have s-off and my phone is no longer rooted. I tried to permroot and flashanother rom again today only for my phone to be stuck ont the Mytouch 4g screen.
I don't know if I should go back to s-on and try the process of s-off and permroot again?
Thoughts!
Have you tried pushing recovery back to your phone with adb? Or if u r stuck on the white logo screen u will have to use adb to communicate with your phone, to regain root? Someone? Possibly if u tried to reflash a rom then your boot.img may be different than the rom since you weren't rooted? I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud..brainstorming

I'm able to push the pd15.img with no problems and was able to successfully root through visionary, but now it seems I can't flash any roms. I've tried numerous times only to get either stuck at the mytouch 4g screen and once it got an error and the installations was aborted. Everytime this happens, I have to repush pd15.img and re-root. It's been going on since yesterday and am so frustrated to the point I'm ready to give up.
I love having custom roms, but this is stupid!
Also, try using 4ext recovery instead of CWM. Maybe you will not get an error. Wipe data, cache & dalvik, the format everything except sdcard. Then install zip from sd (rom of your choice)

Yup that's why I recommend it its the best. Also take any pd15img.zip files on the root of your SD card and either move it into another folder or delete it completely to avoid any similar problems from happening.
