Hey guys!
I have a big problem. I need wipe data of my mini pro through the pc, i think this is the only way to resolve my problem.
I had installed a new rom and forget to wipe data, so the system doesn't start anymore (stay in boot animation). And more, my CWM doesn't work too, but i don't know why (it's happened after installed the new rom; i saw a message about corruptition of cwm, but i don't really care).

Hi all,
Just thought I would try the MIUI rom on my phone. I completed a backup through nandroid and flashed the new ROM.
Tried it for a bit and wanted to go back to my original setup. Rebooted into clockwork, fact reset the device (format data/cache everything) and completed the restore (which said it worked correctly).
Now every time I turn on the phone I got the HTC on a white background and it goes no further.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Should also mention that I'm using version 3.0.2.6 of ClockworkMod
Hi everyone
Not sure how, at which point and why, but I've screwed up installing new rom, and now while I can install whatever I want, latest CWM 5.5.04 installed, new roms while do start just fine, don't detect sim, battery shows at 0% full stop, etc...
It started with me wanting to update to latest Elite Rom 9.7 based on MIUI by Terramino. Tried 2 versions, multiple re-downloads, every time it would try to install from zip and just returned the install aborted, bad zip message.
At this point phone is wiped to factory reset, dalvik cache wiped, cache wiped, /system mounted and formatted, so ok, need something else...
Downloaded MIUI 2.1.20 (2.6.35 kernel like the one before reset), and that's when I noticed the problem, thought maybe didn't wipe something correctly, so again factory reset, wipe cache, format /system, retry - same issue, after that it's always the same result whether I use CM7, MIUI or whatever.
Following few threads loaded the 5.5.04 CWM in the end, and to my surprise to add to the problem - now when I mount SD card from within CWM to system - it shows with a cd icon in the system and is now read-only, so can't even add anything to it seemingly.
Booting to pink screen still gives debugging access to internal SD card of the phone via usb.
Any ideas from knowledgeable users as to how to fix this problem? Help greatly appreciated!
That elite rom is only for .32 kernel
you flashed it over official gb that's the prob

Thanks, figured that this was the case, just not sure why after trying to load back newer roms meant for .35 it's still messing it up.
Will do full reload of a kernel and get a proper rom to follow suit, hopefully it resolves the issue.
Edit: solved
Hi, im having a small problem, every time i turn on my Defy+, it shows bootanimation, finish booting and reboots itself again, infinetly, it used to do that since a long time, but after 15 minutes i was able to use the phone normally, but now im on an infinite booting loop, im running the motorola stock 2.3.5 rom :good: with bootmenu and custom recovery, please i would use advices for what to do to boot without loosing data ( data reset ), can i wipe cache? Any tool in bootmenu i could use... My idea is to boot phone without loosing apps and app data, i suppose this happens because i downloaded too many apps in the BEST ROM EVER :silly:, but well, if you know how to boot and keep my apps and app data, please tell me.
Sorry for bad english
Try wiping cache in Stock Recovery, don't wipe data if you don't want to loose anything.
If you're lucky enough you'll boot into rom again, grab this chance and uninstall every app you think it's affect your phone. The more the better.
But if no luck...Cry a bit and do a data wipe in Stock Recovery.
Installing too much apps will result to this, whatever phone/rom you're using.
Solved
:victory::victory: In the 20 seconds I can use the phone, I uninstalled apps, and now it's working ok :victory:
As above Gents. I was given it as a broken phone. I had a go at it some time ago. Ive put the Clockwork mod recovery on the memory card (which I can get to) and also have flashed a rom but, whenever it reboots it goes straight back to the stock android recovery screen. Does anyone know a fix for this (if there is one)
I thought id revisit it (with the opening of a thread)!
Cheers to anyone that chips in.
Comfy
Same Problem
Im having the same problem too. After i flashed CWM 6.0.5.0 tortoro, it jsut keeps booting into recovery only. Also tried wiping cache, still fails to boot system. Help
Yes this post is correctly dated. I've had this device a LOOOONNNGGG time.
The device has been rooted since shortly after I bought it new years ago. I've had very few problems since... which is why it's never been replaced.
I believe I have the stock ROM, sorry it's been a while.
When I start the device it gets stuck at the splash screen with the sprint logo.
I can get the device to "download mode" but I don't know what to do once there and I'm not sure I can do anything from here.
I can get the device to "android system recovery."
I know I installed TWRP when I rooted and installed the rooted ROM but when I boot to recovery it doesn't go there.
I've wiped the "cache partition" but the problem remained. I'm not sure what else to do from here and still be able to salvage data.
I'm trying to salvage the data on the internal storage. I'm pretty sure I could successfully "wipe data/ factory reset" and get it to "function" again but that's not the priority. I'm going to replace it regardless of success or failure. Data recovery is the priority here. (pictures and videos of my young children as well as less important stuff like contacts.)
I have an old laptop with an old version of ubuntu I can use or a newer one with windows 7 to work with. I mention this in case it makes this easier to help?
Thank you very much if you try to take a stab at this or refer someone that might!
Update:
So I managed to install TWRP via Odin.
I booted to this recovery and my data partition appears to be empty?
When I try to back up I get the error message "unable to mount '/data'"
I tried doing a wipe, not one of the fancy extra options ones just the regular wipe and it failed.
Any guidance will be extremely appreciated.
Edit:
So I've come to the conclusion that the data isn't accessible because of encryption and my pass code. Is there any way to enter it via recovery and access this info?
Is anybody out there?
Edit 2:
I hope this helps someone someday. I haven't solved the problem but I think I'm making progress.
First I had an old version of TWRP. I installed the latest for my device and tried backing up again. I'm not sure but I think it's working. TWRP dosen't seem to need my password for the backup. I imagine I'll just need it to access the data later.
Edit 3:
No sooner did I save the last edit and my backup failed.
Process ended with error : 255
