Sounds to me like it's time to break out Odin and the stock ROM installer. If the ZIP you have won't apply, it's not likely anything else we make will either.

odin wont even work...this phones about to launch into a wall soon

Chill dude. I know it's frustrating, I messed up my phone too. Can you get the phone into download mode?

So you can't boot into recovery?

Just boot into the samsung recovery and reinstall packages then do a nandroid restore.....

I got it into download mode but its been in that mode for about an hr now..and I can get into stock recovery..but i dont have the update.zip file..Maybe if someone could link me that ZIP file, I could flash it through recovery.
Odin wont load anything for me, it says 0 suceed/ 0 failed..

Reinstall packages from recovery and see if that helps.

[Q] Bricked HTC Mytouch 4G?

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...

We should've just stayed with the vibrant...

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?

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.

Yet they always get me

[Q] Rooted Mytouch 3g with bricked recovery. How to fix?

I tried uploading Froyo to my mytouch 3g. I rooted the phone using the one click method and backed up and flashed the new rom. Upon reboot, the rom wouldn't start up so I recovered and restored all previous settings. I found a new rom and went into recovery but i see the dreaded white triangle, but if I turn it on normal it starts up into the original rom fine and is still rooted. How do I get my recovery back? I am also running ROM manager.

Just reflash the recovery from ROM Manager.

Seems to me like his phone keeps reinstalling the stock recovery upon reboot or rom manager isn't flashing properly, and probably needs to do it manually with "flash_image". . .
( I posted a way to fix the flashing recovery issue before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428838 )

First of all, u didnt described ur problem clearly. then, i think your recovery mode is ok, the thing is you couldn't go through that. did you tried to go to the recovery by holding home+power down key together? then the picture of a phone and a triangle with (!) mark comes up, release the keys and then press them together, hope you will solve ur problem through that.and for making ur phone faster, try bananabread 3.1 , right now i am using that. good luck

[HELP] Flashed to 2.3.3 v1.8 and now can't see LG logo and can't login to recovery

Hello a friend need help he just flashed his phone LG GT540 to stock 2.1 succesfully but then when he tried to n flash to 2.3.3 v1.8 he got a problem when it boots if "it boots" he can't see LG logo and the animation also he can't enter to recovery mode nothing appears. I know i have read about this problem but as you know guys it is very annoying look between many posts so PLEASE if anyone has had this problem and found a solution would be nice if you post it here.
Also i would like to create a thread with all possible errors, problems and fixes, this will be very helpul for new users and even old users if they ever have any problem while flashing. So please think about this i think IT IS VERY NECESARY or a MUST for all of us. If you ever had a heavy problem with your phone you will understand the needing of this.
Support and ideas needed for create a super LIBRARY of all possible problems and fixes found so far.
EDIT: OMG i just see it has created 2 exactly posts please mods remove one, i dont know what happened

Go into fastboot, erease everything, flash 2.2 froyo, maybe the superfastfroyo and a newer clockworkmod.
After that, boot into the OS and check if its working without problems.
Then go into Clockworkmod and install the 2.3.3 over ZIP, not fastboot.
After installation, wipe the system, factory res. and boot into it.
I think its gonna work without any problems !
If that doesent work... just try to install and older version of Clockwork MOD over fastboot:
fastboot -w
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery "your_recovery_clockwork"
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

Oww..
Does it work?
The lg logo at the start is like the bios/motherboard logo some pc's show at boot
if it doesn't show up does that mean that the bootloader didn't get flashed right which again means that he/she has bricked the device :c

I think you are right :/ if the boot is destroyed, you will need to get it flashed by a pro

Hey, try this one

A lot of people have this problem. It seems that is the only way to fix it. I followed that solution and I got my LG boot logo back.
Hope this will help you.

It's so hard to brick a GT540. You can always recover using kdz emergency mode if the phone will enter download mode. The link above WILL restore your boot process and then you can flash whatever you want to... Probably a fastboot 2.1 kdz and then recovery and then Mur4ik 2.0

[HELP] Serious problem!

I don't know whether i should've posted this in FAQ, but i suppose this matter calls for an urgent help, guys!
I was on stock rom and stock kernel. I had never tried out the Repencis Rom (including the kernel), so i tried it today. I wiped data and cache, and installed the zip file. The installation was successful. But after rebooting, it got stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Y Young GT-S5360" (the bootloader, i suppose). When i tried to enter the recovery mode and download mode, same thing happened again! Please tell me guys what i should do to get my phone back!!

Remove the battery and try to go to recovery mode and wipe data and cache and reboot

You should wipe data and cache in both stock and CWM recovery before flashing the rom and in stock recovery after flashing the rom.

Still the same problem!!

What problem? Did you do what I said correctly? Flash it again now and restart to stock recovery and do data wipe and reboot. If that doesnt work, repeat the same after flashing a stock ROM.

Remove the battery.. wait for 5 mins... insert battery and try to go in recovery mode. It will work

Hmm I bet you didn't press the download mode combination buttons correctly before . You won't face any such problems with just flashing a custom rom. If you have any back case, remember to remove it and hold the 3 buttons. There won't be any problem flashing repencis or any other custom rom. Just make sure you followed all of the above instructions given by op.

Actually, i'm noticing dis since i changed my CSC.....watever rom i'm installing, it's getting stuck in d bootloader.....it always entered d recovery mode....only dis tym it wasn't entering!!
