Did you make sure that "Re-Partition" in Odin is NOT checked (!!!) before clicking the start button?
Regardless, This thread may help.
The re-partition box was not checked but thanks for the info

OK... that's actually, a good thing.
Now, I assume that you have cwm2.5 on your sd card, and one of the roms, correct? If not, put them on there, making sure that they are not in any folder.
Once you've done this, boot into recovery, and scroll down to the second option (apply sdcard:update.zp) and tap the "menu" key firmly.
Next go to "install zip from sd card" and use the power button to select.
after that, scroll to "choose zip from sd card" and select it with the power button
Then, find the rom, and select it with power button. Then "Yes"
After it installs, use the back key to back up to the main cwm menu and go to wipe cache and select it.
Then, go to advanced, select it, then wipe dalvik cache, and select ye on it.
After you have done all this, back up to the main cwm menu again and select 'reboot system now".
Get something to drink. It'll take a while on first boot. DO NOT PULL YOUR BATTERY!!
Ok went back into recovery and did wipe cache worked fine then tried wipe data/factory reset and got E:can't mount/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (no file or directory ) E:install_application _for_customer :can't mount H IODENSDCARD then it says your storage not prepared yet, please use Ui menu for format and reboot actions
So how do I do that ???

did you do this before or after you installed the rom? If it was before, I'd imagine it's because there was no rom on there to reset. Flash the rom, then reboot normally. Once it boots, then go back into recovery and try wiping.
Ok trying it now thanks for all the help

you need to get an sbf file of 2.2.1 and then use rsd lite to flash it to your phone... then you can use clockwork to get back.
I understand that. I'm trying to wipe data to clear up the constant sync error except I have no way of wiping data. Make sense?

Recovery Access in GB
Besides using a reboot into rocovery app, you can also shut down the phone, then pull the battery, put the battery back in and the normal Vol Down + Power will get you into Clockwork Recovery. Seems like GB is in some kind of stand by mode even when you power it down.
Has anybody had any problems with the new update from Google? If so please tell info; I'm having trouble with my wifi doesn't wanna connect to anything; what should I do?

Download the 2.3.4 update found on the General Section of the Nexus One thread, rename it to Update.zip, and boot into recovery by holding down the volume down key and the power button. Select Recovery from the Hboot screen and when you see the Android bug/mascot, hit the volume up and poet key together. When you see the options list, select "apply update.zip". Make sure the update.zip file is on the root of your memory card.

You wiped before install 2.3.4?? I was having some problem because I didn't wipe the device before install the new firmware. So I advise you to trying wiping and then install 2.3.4.
You can wipe you nexus doing this:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Privacy.
3. Tap Factory data reset.
4. Tap Reset phone.
Or take a look to this link http://www.androidcentral.com/how-hard-reset-google-nexus-one
hey guys, Im new to the forums. I have an HTC Desire HD on Telus, joined to ask some genreal questions about rooting, Cyanogen Mod 7, etc.
Anyway, I recently got Cyanogenmod on my phone, and installed the Telus kernel thing at the end (following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997). Anyway, the guide wasnt perfect here:
"2- Copy Telus Kernel.zip to your SD card from the "Step 2 - Telus Kernel" folder.
3- Run Kernel Update Utility (in the "Step 3 - Kernel Update Utility" folder) and click "Select a cwm zip", then click next, then click Go to fastboot, wait for the white bootloader screen on your phone, then click Flash. Once it's done, it'll reboot back into Android."
I wasn't sure what to select as a cwm.zip...so I chose the telus kernel zip in the "Step 2 - Telus Kernel" Folder. everything went fine until boot up. It just hung at the HTC turn on screen...and I couldnt even get into reboot recovery. Sent it in and now I have a new one...Still want CyanogenMod. Just dont wanna screw it up a second time. Thanks for any help

What you should of done is hold vol- and power button and that would of took you to recovery.
Anyways, from personal experience i've flashed different kernel to try out a number of times, my advice is to copy the kernel into your sd card and boot into recovery and flash the kernel as you would flash a rom..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
hey, ya I tried the down volume plus power, it did nothing. anyway, maybe Ill try it that way. boot into recovery and flash it from there. The Telus kernel is so that I can hear out of the earspeaker correct?
That's right.. Boot into recovery and flash the kernel. The utility is just an automation of that process as far as I understand.

So why did my phone brick then? And can you tell me the process once in reboot recovery? Like what I should do before actually installing it? Such as wipe the cache, etc.

Technically if you phone booted into the boot screen , it wasn't bricked. whatever that was flashed caused a boot loop.
1. Hold Vol- and power button, wait for it to boot and release the keys.
2. select the option install zip from sdcard
3. Find the kernal and select it.
4. Once flashed select reboot system now.
All done
So that is for the ear speaker then?

What's it for then? Why would I have to put it on after I get cyanogen mod? When I had it on my last phone (before it got fixed) just the phone feature didn't work...texting worked though...i don't understand what it is meant for...i know it's a total noob question, but I have to ask lol

From your initial post
I wasn't sure what to select as a cwm.zip...so I chose the telus kernel zip

you flashed a kernel to your recovery partition, which will have at least stopped it rebooting into recovery, what you should have done is returned to fastboot and flashed clockwork recovery and all would have been working.
Oh...so I should just do the whole thing from sd on the card in reboot recovery?

I only can to the downloading mode.The main thing is this, I upgraded a wrong files contains "boot.bin" and "sbl.bin" ,when i reboot it can boot but only sound no picture, I think the problem is voodoo then I go to the sdcard voodoo folder, add the disable-lagfix to uninstall it , then can not boot up.
If you can get into download mode, have you tried either of the stock DL17 Odin packages that are posted here?
Try the one posted by pastorbennett. It has a bunch of the partitions included in it. I was soft bricked and it fixed it for me.

I odin it but it does't help
This is extremely frustrating.
I successfully rooted my galaxy s4.
I then downloaded CMW and touch, and downloaded this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341376
I then booted into recovery, and wiped etc and then installed the rom. I read on the later part of that page that there wasn't a need for loki so I did not download loki.
I then rebooted, and got the yellow triangle sign saying that the software is not approved by ATT.
This is where I am stuck. I have a mac and am running vmware windows 8.
I tried downloading kies on the mac, and it does not recognize the phone. I did not try kies for windows yet, nor do I know what to do after if I am able to get kies to recognize the s4.
I also downloaded odin, and the firmware, but odin is not recognizing the phone under windows even when I select to use the phone under windows.
I tried the stock usb cable, and a different usb cable, and 2 different usb ports. I do not have a regular windows computer. Is there a way to do this with a mac?
Guess I should have downloaded the loki, is not downloading the loki the whole reason this is happening?
I appreciate everyones help! I just wanted stock android! :good:
I do not have a s4 but have a s2 but its like the same.
1. Why would you not already have Odin installed and kies?! Just in case
2. No backup made?...
3. Can you still get into recovery and download mode if so then you have hope.. wait for someone to give you steps to get out of this
4. If you can't get into either... well :banghead:

Mmm alright... Go into download mode and take out your SD card and download the Loki file in the ROM thread then transfer to sdcard on PC. Then place back in phone.. Then go intro recovery and flash the file and it should work.
But wait before anything can you get into recovery? If so then you go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard and transfer the Loki file from your PC right there.

I have installed kies on the windows version and it notices the phone is connected, but it just keeps saying "connecting..." and a little thing spinning. Not sure how long it should take to connect...
why not download the loki zip to sd card, then put back on phone, reboot to recovery and install from sd card...
