I have made a mistake, now what?

I was trying to update my magic into cyanogenMod (I had this mod before I was just using CMupdater to updating to the lastest version)
and during the applying step, I messed up (step 6) I rebooted my phone accidentaly. Now I have a phone with no OS.
Now how to I go back to the step I was at before? I did flash to the lastest recovery before but I have forgot what is in my SD card. (I have no card reader to read it)

Turn your phone off.
Hold the Home button while booting to get to Recovery mode.
Select "wipe data/factory reset") (MT3G/Magic boots to andrOid then black screen with back-lite if you don't do this.)
Select "apply any zip from sd")
choose "DRC83_base_defanged.zip"
Press home to confirm and let installation complete ('Formatting Cache' will stay at the bottom of the screen but once the menu reappears, the flashing is complete)
STOP - DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE
==========

Try starting over. All of your .zip's should still be on your sd!
load up recovery again[ EDIT: (home+POWER) ]and start from step 1.. remember not to reboot.

[Q] Root Proble..Stuck..Please Help

Hello everyone. This is my first post and hope it goes well.
I recently purchased my mytouch 4g off the street and the guy said it was rooted and gave me a brief of what rooting was. I am a complete noob when it comes to anything about rooting and didn't want issues with warranty not being honored, so I didn't want my mytouch rooted. I thought I could just do a hard reset on the phone and I found out I made a big mistake. After the hard reset all the phone does now is turn on but gets stuck on the tmobile mytouch 4g start up screen and doesn't go anywhere else. I tried doing some research but no luck and I landed here to see if someone can help. After a bit of reading I can tell you a little about the phone and what I see. I can go to the bootloader by pressing the volume down and power button. It shows the following:

That's what comes up when I press the volume down and power button. I can go into recovery and when I do it shows ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.1 and a few options:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
install zip from sdcard
backup and restore
mounts and storage
advanced
I didn't try messing with anything because like I said I am a complete noob at this. Please if anyone can help it will be well appreciated. I just paid a lot of money for this phone and I don't want it to go to waste. Thanks and god bless.

Under recovery, go to backup and restore and if there is an option to restore click the latest one by date and once restored reboot and you should be good to go. You would then have to unroot if you font want phone rooted. I hope this helps.

You can also mount the SD card from recovery, copy over the ROM of your choice (CM7 is great), don't forget gapps addon, then flash from CWR and reboot. Sounds like your phone is perfectly fine, you just wiped the ROM.

I know how to mount the sd card from recovery but no clue on how to copy over the rom and flash from cwr.

[Q] Soft-Bricked MY4G Help Please

I just purchased the phone today and got perma-root with s=off. I tried flashing a nightly build from cm7 and all the phone does now is turn on but gets stuck on the tmobile mytouch 4g start up screen and doesn't go anywhere else. I tried doing some research but no luck. After a bit of reading I can tell you a little about the phone and what I see. I can go to the bootloader by pressing the volume down and power button. It shows the following:

I don't know how to get this thing operating again. Please Help.
HOW I FIXED IT:
1.I used fastboot to push the correct clockwork recovery(I used a 2.x instead of the 3.x)
2.I reflashed cm7.

Well, if you have stock recovery, you should be able to factory reset from hboot and unbrick that way.

what rom are you trying to recover to? because trying to restore a froyo recovery using CWM3x isnt going to work, but will freeze at the splashscreen. Instead, it requires CWM 2.5.1.2 be restored, then restore the froyo backup from there.

Well ill tell you what i did last night
1) perm root my phone
2) installed clockwork mod 3 onto the recovery manager
3) install the update-cm-6.1.2-RC2-glacier-signed from the manager deleted the file
4) went into recovery flashed the rom and flashed the gapps
5) Rebooted the phone
6) stuck at the splash screen
Also i was running with the stock android
FIXED! Thanks to jmwils3

There is your problem...6.1.2 is a froyo based rom and need cwm recovery 2.5.1.2 and you flashed cwm 3.x which is strictly gingerbread!

not to toot my own horn or anything, but make sure to thank one of the posts of mine, so it actually gives the credit. and Im really glad I could help, Im always glad to help a fellow androidian in need

i too HAD this problem
OK, so i did the same thing, but i didnt have a backup,LIKE AN IDIOT!!! that being said, IF you can get to the Hboot screen, i can walk you through how i fixed it...BUT, i accept no resposablilaty for your phone and the things that you may do to it by these steps!!!
1 hold down volume down and press power
2 volume down to "recovery" and select
this should let you enter clockworkmod recovery (my version) v2.5.1.2
3 pug your phone into your computer via usb cable
4 scroll down to "mounts and storage" and select
5 select "mount USB storage"
6 download a rom compatable with your version of clockworkmod recovery (i used ice glacier v1.6)
7 open the drive on your computer that is your phone and drop the downloaded rom in the root (not in any folder)
8 select "unmount"
9 and this may be over kill, but i wiped the phone again, so "wipe data/factory reset" "wipe cache partition" then go to "advanced" and "wipe dalvik cache" also
10 select "install zip from sdcard" and then "choose zip from sdcard"
11 select the rom you downloaded and let it do its thing...
12 then back out and select "boot system now" and if you are lucky, then you are no longer partially bricked!!!
just a noob that got lucky and wanted to help some noobs, since there are so many tech terms out there... just trying to keep it in "average joe terms"

sorry i didn't see the thanks button xD

T-mobile MyTouch 3G Android 2.2.1
==========================
I'm trying to reboot into recover by it just restarts and stops at the screen with the exclamation and phone image!
I've used SuperOneClick v1.7 to root it with success!
Pre Froyo I've been able to reboot into recovery and use CyanogenMod with ease but since the update I can't.

Did you install a new recovery after doing the update? If you you need to download ROM Manager from the market and use it to flash a new recovery.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk

I have ROM Manager but when I download the ROM that's what happens (above results)!

You need to flash Clockworkmod Recovery from ROM Manager before trying to select the "flash ROM" option.

I flashed it already to ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 before posting to the forums with no luck, I even tried the RA Recovery option!
When I try to flash with another ClockworkMod version it says: "An error occurred while flashing your recovery".

Flash the recovery again from ROM Manager, either one, and then immediately after hitting the "OK" button, turn the phone off and try booting into recovery. Sometime you may have to flash the custom recovery several times from ROM Manager before it sticks.

What is the procedure to reboot into recovery mode? (Want to see if I'm doing it correctly)

If your getting the triangle with the ! then your doing it right. Either way, with the phone off hold home+power.

So what can I do from here?
What is the fix?
Thanks!

The only thing I can think to do is either use the goldcard method to flash an engineering SPL and then manually install the recovery...or, you can downgrade to 1.6, re-root, and try re-installing the cutom recovery, then upgrade back to the 1.33.0013/2.22.28.25 SPL/radio. Either way it's going to be a pretty long process with the second being the easier of the two.

Is this a known problem with the MyTouch 3G with the Froyo update?

I've helped 2 or 3 people that ran into the same issue.

Well thank you for you assistance!
