Help!! messed up updating cyanogenmod! Bricked??

I really need some help please! I think I may have done something very bad. I have a tmobile mytouch 3g. I was trying to update from cyanogenmod 4.2.1.9. I was using a darkstar theme from ringer nation.
Here’s where I think i screwed myself. I am fairly new to all this stuff so I was trying to find a guide on how to update the mod and instead of doing it properly by adding the files to the sd card, doing a wipe, and then installing everything. I instead messed up and did an install of sapping.nbh and basically followed all the directions to originally root the phone. Including formatting the sd card and everything. When I realized that i was doing this all wrong I was still able to load my os and everything seemed ok. I was getting a sd card error that said that the card was blank or had an unsupported file system, but I was able to mount it so, I erased everything off the card and then put the cyanogen update and the drc83_base file and attempted to load into recovery and do the update.
I loaded into and did a wipe. I attempted to follow the instructions on upgrading from the cyogen page. (God I wish I had found that page first) But after I did the wipe and I attempt to Apply any from SD I get “error: sd card is not mounted”
When I attempt to reboot the phone it goes to the tmobile mytouch logo, THEN it goes to my them logo from Ringer Nation, then it just goes to a black screen I let it sit there for like 5 minutes to see what would happen, but nothing. So I took out the battery and sim. I can get into recovery though so I hope that someone can help me figure out where to go from there.I thought that since I had done a wipe that the theme would have been deleted as well? This is weird.
I did do a nandroid backup before. Hopefully that will prove to be helpful. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to dump as much useful information about this problem so that hopefully someone will be able to help! BTW I'm using a mac with the latest snow leopard software.
As I am desperate for help, please reach out to me via aim – icolinirie or via email
Thank you in advance for everything. This is a great community, and all of Cyanogen’s work is greatly appreciated!!
EDIT: I really need some help! Here's some more information. I have a Magic 32B. Its running Cyanogenmod v1.4 + JF Recovery.
From what I have gathered I need to adp into my phone in order to get it to mount. Anyone know how to do this on a mac. I am trying, but I don't fully understand. I have created the .bash_profile from terminal and typed the following "export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/itunes/Documents/android-sdk-mac_86/tools" which is the path to the tools file in the sdk. I am just stuck at this point. I don't know what to do from here.

Hi I quote.
Install SDK utilities you need to connect your PC to your phone
You can download the full SDK from the Android Developer website for your platform
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
You'll need to download the SDK appropriate for your platform and extract it into a directory somewhere. I'm going to assume you're using Windows here and suggest you extract it into a folder called
C:\AndroidSDK\
on your hard disk. You can put it anywhere you like really, but if you do you'll need to substitute it for the folder above.
Add the tools directory to your system path for easy access
In Windows it's easy to add the Android SDK Tools directory to your system path. Doing this lets you use the Android SDK tools anywhere and makes it easier for you.
On Windows XP: Go to Control Panel->System, Choose the 'Advanced' tab and then click 'Environment Variables' To do this on Vista/Windows7: Simply go to Control Panel->System and choose 'Advanced System Settings' and then 'Environment Variables'
Now that you've got here locate Path under System Variables and click Edit, then add the following to the end of the string displayed:
;C:\AndroidSDK\tools\
Then click OK until you get out of the menus.
Now that you've done this you should be able to bring up a command shell and type 'adb' and it should run straight away without needing to change path.
Please note that you can skip this step completely if you find it too complicated - however you will need to CD to the ?AndroidSDK\tools every time you open up a command prompt so it's worthwhile doing. I'm going to assume you have made the change above in all further examples as it gets too complicated really. If you're not confident in a DOS shell, I'd suggest you do a little bit of reading up on basic navigation in DOS first.
Enable Debugging mode on the phone before connecting to PC and installing the ADB driver
Menu > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB Debugging
Install the USB drivers correctly - check using "adb devices".
If you have already connected your phone to your computer before then the USB drivers are probably already loaded. If you're lucky then typing 'adb devices' in a command prompt will produce something like:
C:\AndroidSDK>adb devices
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXX device
Where XXXXXXXXXXXX is the serial number of your phone. If it doesn't produce that line, then you need to check Device Manager and ensure the device drivers for your phone were installed correctly.
If you are having issues installing the ADB driver, you need to connect your phone then go into Device Manager and check the ADB device properties. Check the following property and it'll look something like:
Device Instance Id: USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C02&MI_01\7&293A7D0D&0&0001
To fix the driver installation problem, you need to edit the driver's .ini file and change all the references of 0C03 to 0C02, or 0C02 to 0C03 if your device property states your Device Id is 0C03.
Note: After flashing a new ROM, your Device Id may change again to either 0C03 or remain as 0C02. So you need to update the .ini file again as above to refelect the change and re-install the driver. Another known way to fix the above issue is to download and install HTC Sync - this seems to install the correct drivers.
How to use ADB
ADB stands for Android Debugging Bridge - it's a useful way of talking to your handset while it's running. ADB provides commands for copying files to and from your phone, installing packages and debugging your Android applications.
Useful commands include:
adb devices - lists which devices are currently attached to your computer
adb install <packagename.apk> - lets you install an Android application on your phone
adb remount - Remounts your system in write mode - this lets you alter system files on your phone using ADB
adb push <localfile> <location on your phone> - lets you upload files to your phones filesystem
adb pull <location on your phone> <localfile> - lets you download files off your phones filesystem
adb logcat - starts dumping debugging information from your handset to the console - useful for debugging your apps
adb shell <command> - drops you into a basic linux command shell on your phone with no parameters, or lets you run commands directly
How to use Fastboot
Fastboot is another boot method and is used to drop the phone into a safe mode to load/flash alternate roms. You need USB debugging turned on before you can use Fastboot mode - so I'd recommend you do this first (under Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging). You will also need to power off your phone first (hold down Power and select Power Off) and then hold down the Back+Power Buttons to start the phone in Fastboot mode. You will need your USB cable connected to be able to issue any commands and assuming your drivers are correct you should be able to issue:
C:\AndroidSDK>fastboot devices
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXX fastboot
Other commands in this mode include - we'll cover these below in subsequent sections.
fastboot boot <filename> - boots a rom stored on your pc specified by the filename
fastboot flash <partition> <filename> - flashes a rom stored on your pc, partition can be one of {boot, recovery, system, userdata}
fastboot binaries for mac and linux can be found here.
3. Learn how to use fastboot and boot a recovery rom
Download a recovery rom for your device
There are several different recovery roms available for the HTC Magic devices.
Amon_RA has created several nice recovery roms available from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492 and get the Recovery Rom appropriate for your device - these recovery roms have Nandroid Backup and Nandroid Restore and are perfect for the average user.
You can also use Cyanogen's 1.3.1 Recovery ROM available for: PVT32A devices and PVT32B devices - this rom has some additional options for partitioning your SD card for ?Apps2SD/Swapper/etc.
Fastboot the recovery rom
Fastbooting a rom doesn't write anything to your device - it just loads it directly from your PC - so it's a completely safe way of fixing/recovering/backing up your existing rom. To fastboot a rom you need to first drop your phone into Fastboot mode and check that it's working. Now drop into a command shell and make sure the recovery image you're wanting to load is in the same directory that you're running this in. If it's called something other than recovery-rom.img then substitute that instead.
C:\AndroidSDK> fastboot boot recovery-rom.img
If you are having problems changing the directory in the command prompt, just make a copy of the command prompt .exe itself, and place it in the folder that contains the recovery rom, then run the above command.
And once again, if you have a perfected SPL which does not allow remote fastboot, you will have to fix it first.
Use the Recovery Rom to Backup your current ROM with Nandroid
Once you've booted to a recovery rom - you can use the Nandroid Backup option. If you get a 'cannot mount /dev/mkblkxxx error' when you do this then check your microSD card is inserted correctly and if so, wait a few seconds for it to register to the recovery rom correctly. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again (sdcard can take a few seconds to mount!)
You do not need to be a rocket scientist to do this.
you can use the ADB to put in recovery again by fast boot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492

Hey! First off Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate someone chiming in to throw some advice my way! But while reading your thread you described the instructions for windows. In this case I have a macbook pro running snow leopard.
I did download the android sdk to my documents folder and I understand that I need to execute some scripts from the terminal on my mac to get things running. But I really dont know what those scripts are or what exactly to do.
I can get into the recovery mode on the MyTouch by holding power and home when powering on. So do I open the console from the recovery screen on the mytouch and then run the scripts on the terminal from my macbook? And which scripts should I run to get the sd card mounted onto my desktop (that is what I'm trying to do). Im not too sure what to do from there either. I want to get the phone back to stock android 1.5 os so that I can root again. My sd card has to be corrupted because it keeps giving me an error saying that it wont mount when I try to do a fix file systems or try anything from that menu. What to do??

What!
can you get in the recovery?

Yeah I can get into cyanogen v1.4 recovery. I'm just stuck from there.

Ok ok If I understand this correctly then you are not briced. you do not have any imag on your phone.
if you do not have anything nadroid recovery on sdcard you must enter a new ROM on the sdcard and flash it
remember full wipe.!

Yes this is what I believe I must do. But I need to either find a way to mount my SD card from the phone while it is in recovery mode (cyanogen v1.4). That's my problem.. I wish there was an easier way to get it mounted onto my mac from the recovery screen. I think I'm just going to go to best buy tomorrow and get a micro sd card reader and maybe another sd card just in case.
Once I have done that though. What files should I put onto the sd card in order to flash it back to original factory android 1.5.
What do you think?

Good idea
I have never used cyanogen v1.4 recovery
I use the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img and ther you can use USB togle in recovery mode, You must go to the store to buy the adapter that fits on your Mac, I have two adapters for your Mac, you can borrow

Yeah that's the plan for tomorrow. Thanks for the offer man. But I'm in Los Angeles, Ca LOL!! Where are you?

[Q] Disaster - need help...

I got a copy of Android - I think its 1.6 - running on my laptop - and it seemed to work ok and be stable so I wanted to put it onto the machine permanantly.
Trouble is its decided that nothing else on the machine exists and I can't get back into vista whatever I try
It boots into something called grub loader and the only two options are the normal boot and a sort of safe mode - that lists drivers much like the old one for Windows 95/98 where you could y/n each one...
I really need help to get vista back again since there is stuff I really need like internet banking that I don't think I can do any other way (to be fair I have yet to try)
Thanks in advance
Jemma

Please tell me you partitioned off your hard drive before doing this?
If not then its a reinstall I guess, which isn't to bad as it allows you to install a decent copy of windows such as XP

That quite simply isn't an option - I was told that there is a way of solving it by using a windows CD or boot disk to reload the MBR - I was also told that the file running GRUB can be edited to find windows.
The problem is I don't have another machine and I am on state benefits - I need this computer up and running and I need access to my documents.
I can't seem to mount anything in android - and as the only option is 'format sd card' I don't really want to take it..
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Well thanks for the sob story but what does being on benefits have to do with anything?
Anyway simply set your pc bios to boot from cd first, insert disk and boot up. From there you will be asked do you want to install or repair. Choose repair.
I'm unsure of the next step because I don't use Vista *spits* but if you can get to recovery console then you can run fixmbr from the prompt and also there is a boot manager that can fix your boot sector.
Alternatively you could from a dos prompt delete the 1.6 folders and rewrite the msconfig to open windows only.
There is also the root of trying the f8 safe mode boot into admin account and rewrite the msconfig from with windows if accessible from f8 safe.
But hell I ain't anyone else but I guess my 24 years in the business of building custom machine and my extensive knowledge of windows xp and below means nowt? Maybe try being a little less dismissive next time hey?
Add me on gmail - [email protected] if you want me to help you sort it out faster than we can here

Did you create partitions before installing android? if not then windows doesnt exist anymore, which is why grub didnt automatically add it to the list of things to boot (mine always listed everything, but sometimes it doesnt do that automatically)

this happend to me to. I had to use I linux live cd to delete the linux partition. and fix the mbr.

U8800 + Linux + CWM

I have been a Linux user since Redhat 7.x yet this blasted phone is kicking my assets. Perhaps this is because many solutions are based on connecting a Linux phone to a Windows computer. I installed Win7 to a virtual machine. It sees every other device on USB except for this phone so no help there.
What I am trying to do - from Froyo - is a Nandroid backup which presumably requires CWM. Apparently, the only way to install CWM is through ROM Manager??
I can temp. root the phone. ROM Manager sees a different Huawei and then responds with a privileges issue. I know that I am rooted because, through adb shell I am getting a "#" prompt.
Oh, I am running Fedora 17. I have installed android-tools which includes adb and fastboot. Booting to purple/pink and plugging in USB seems to mount the entire phone (other than the SD card) in Dolphin. I suppose that I could copy the entire phone to the SD card but then how would I use those files to restore?
Ultimately, my objective is to install Aurora with the ability to restore the thing if necessary.

[Q] DUAL BOOT UBUNTU And JELLY BEAN AND GUIDE

hey guys, for those that havnt seen it today Ubuntu has been released for the Nexus 7 and for both 8GB and 16GB Models! wondering if anyone in the community has figured out how to dual boot it or if it is even possible? thanks all!
Heres the link of how to install if your wondering
What you will need:
Nexus 7 Tablet (8GB or 16GB)
Standard MicroUSB Cable (should come with the device)
Ubuntu Nexus 7 Desktop Installer installed on your development system
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Later
Optional
Micro USB Host Cable (OTG Cable) - used for attaching keyboard, mouse, etc. Directions on how to get and use one of these are towards the bottom of this page.
Ubuntu Nexus 7 Desktop Installer
A simple one-click installer has been provided, and is available in a PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-nexus7/ubuntu-nexus7-installer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-nexus7-installer
Usage instructions for the installer are provided below.
Unlocking the Nexus 7
The Nexus 7 ships with a locked bootloader. You must unlock it in order to flash different images to the device. Fortunately, this is a trivial process, and you only need to do it once.
Warning: Unlocking the bootloader erases all data and resets the device to factory defaults.
Reboot the Android device into the Android boot loader. To do this, hold the volume down button and press the power button. Continue holding the volume down and power buttons until you see the boot loader UI. The device now displays the boot loader GUI, which looks like this:
Verify fastboot lists the device:
$ sudo fastboot devices
1234567891234567 fastboot
Start the bootloader unlock process:
sudo fastboot oem unlock
You are prompted on screen to unlock the bootloader on the Android device screen. Follow the on-screen directions to continue. Your screen should now look like this:
Complete the process by rebooting:
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader
Or simply press the power button.
Installing Ubuntu on Nexus 7
Once all setup has been completed, the installation can start. To install, ensure the Nexus 7 is in fastboot mode, plug it into your computer (and make sure NO OTHER DEVICES are plugged in).
Find the installer in the dash (search for 'nexus'):
This will provide a Graphical Interface for installing Ubuntu. This tool will download the latest image automatically, and flash it accordingly. The flashing step should take about 2 minutes. Once the flashing is complete, the device will reboot and finish the installation. This step can take 10-15 minutes.
Returning your Nexus 7 to Stock Android
Warning: Disconnect ALL other mobile devices connected from your computer or they might get erased too. This will erase ALL DATA on your Nexus 7.
In case anything happens while developing, the system image for Nexus 7 can be found here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
After downloading the above tarball, uncompress it with the following:
tar zxvf nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
Then, place your machine into fastboot mode and run the resulting script:
cd nakasi-jro03d/
sudo ./flash-all.sh
You may get the following warnings, which you can ignore, the restoration will continue anyway.
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
Troubleshooting the Install
If you have problems installing the image, please use the following troubleshooting steps:
Detach the USB cable, restart the tablet back into fastboot mode, and re-attach the USB cable.
If problems persist, reboot your host PC.
If you still have issues, try a different USB cable.
If you have a 16G tablet, try using the 8G image.
If you still have issues after doing all this, return the image to stock using the directions above and re-try.
If none of that works, ask a question on Ask Ubuntu using the mobile tag, or ask for help in the #ubuntu-arm channel on freenode. If you believe it's a bug, file a bug against ubuntu-nexus7 in Launchpad.

Ehm, do i miss something or is this ubuntu only installation?
Edit: i mean, not dual boot, but only ubuntu

Do I need a mouse and a keyboard to use Ubuntu? Or I can also without them?

it has a built in touch keyboard/mouse, so you can do either way

you can use a touch screen for it, mouse and keyboard is compatible

what do you mean ubuntu only install?
sorry if you mis understood, but i posted the guide there but i am also curious if theres a dual boot avaliable.

is bluetooth not usable in the in ubuntu while installed?
And I saw this install method over at androidcentral.com and I dont recall it being dualboot. It did a complete install of ubuntu only and erased android from the device

As of right now, dual-booting is not an option, however, this build did just come out today, and in the coming weeks, we'll likely have many updates and options, so i'd hang tight. Needless to say, it's a great experience

yess dual boot will be awesome.

Download and follow the instructions in the complete Linux installation guide. (Its an app in the play store) It works pretty well and you can use Ubuntu, Debian and a few others without wiping your system. I prefer the Ubuntu lite version. Something else to try out

Why did you title the thread as "Dual Boot Ubuntu" then?? Confused as well.

Change your thread title,its misleading.

yes my question was about dual booting, sorry if theres any confusion caused.

Folks, it's not that hard of a question when you actually read what the poster states. CURRENTLY, THERE IS AN INSTALLER THAT INSTALL UBUNTU TO THE NEXUS 7, BUT DOING THIS WILL CAUSE THE DEVICE TO BE FULLY WIPED FIRST REMOVING ANDROID. HE IS WONDERING IF THERE COULD BE [OR IS] AN INSTALLER THAT INSTALLS UBUNTU ALONGSIDE ANDROID TO BE ABLE TO BOOT THE DEVICE TO EITHER OS AS THE USER WISHES [ ALSO ASKING IF DUAL BOOTING BETWEEN THE 2 IS EVEN POSSIBLE.SO HE KNOWS IF IT IS WORTH HIS TIME TO INVEST IN MAYBE FIGURING IT OUT ON HIS OWN]. I am going to assume some form of dual booting would be possible as Linux bootloaders are generally very capable of booting OSes that use environments totally different from itself.
I am wondering the same thing as I am a very good technical user who can deal with a lot of issues, but have never gotten deep in to the programming side of things. I am shocked that for such an alpha build [really flaky Bluetooth, [Wi-Fi is solid] Unity crashes quite often and nVidia has had sucky Linux driver support for years now [wish they would take Linux more seriously but hey at least they have drivers]]. All leads to a painful experience for most [especially if you are not a nerd or techie and not used to dealing with very new alpha Linux type issues, if you don't mind it it does work].
Why wouldn't they have set it up as a dual boot to begin with? That way if you know something you need to get done can be done in Android and not in Ubuntu then you could just restart and choose the different OS. Not to mention if this is for modders and enthusiasts to test bed things on the tablet then they are going to most likely be some Android developers to start who would love to say use Eclipse to develop Android code for whatever and then oh no restart in to Android to I dunno test their work.
All that to say PLEASE SOMEONE WITH THE KNOW HOW let's figure out a way to fully dual boot a NATIVE Linux [not that install a loop file system and have it use VNC server to view the session junk you see on the Play Market, it's quaint and all, but not nearly as nice as a full Linux with full access to the hardware [I use it too, much love to backtrack] but am dying to dual boot an Android/More full [ I REALLY want Backtrack 5+ but Ubuntu would be worth keeping around until Backtrack gets around to working out their builds to be dual boot on some Android based systems] Linux as needed.

The approach that the Boot Manager app uses would probably work. They modify the /boot partition to point to a different device for /data than normal. Then you can switch between ROMs by flashing a different /boot partition. They automatically bundle the /boot partition into an update.zip and store them next to the image file on you SD card.

thanks for clearing it out RealPariah! by the way your username link to the band pariah orr? Cheers.

I would like to try this but what's the best/easiest way to back up my system? (I.e. app and game save data as well as for directory bind and folder structures). I tried clockworks backup process before, but I either did it wrong or it doesn't cover everything.
Can I just copy paste everything from my root folder?

you might want to try and use titanuium backup and copy out the entire "titanium backup" folder onto your computer, so when you revert back to android you should be able to copy it back in and restore from titanium backup. hope it works.

[SOLV][TWRP instal][Athene XT1642]Many solutions tested but fastboot never load image

Hello forumers first of all I apologize for my approximate english I'm french and I talk about english only in forums so I will do my best you to understand myself.
I'm a new user on Androïd (and smartphone too) and after learning basics functions and many docs about this I decide to root my phone.It's new,not second hand so it was never used previously.With your threads to root it I succeed in unlocking bootloader without problems.Then I wanted to install TWRP by following your tutos and other sources (vidéos.......)and at each time fastboot don't load my image.
So I'm looking for solutions in forums and web and nothing works.Here is what I did after installing a win7 rather than my usualy Linux (install problems too )for this work :
use USB2.0 rather than 3.0 to connect my phone
use 2 different cable (original with my phone box and another)
install adb/fastboot on C:\ rather than Program Files (because permissions problems during install)
use one of your threads to redo it (image from shreps)
rename the image many times and another image version too and redownloaded it too
use complete path
use mfastboot v.2 too
This is a capture from terminal after fastboot :
so I spent hours to attempt many combination and reading posts but I don't know where to look for now.
Maybe can I use another recovery than TWRP to root?Which?
For info I'm not a dev

Hmm, one cause may be that you're missing the file extension from the file name. That TWRP image usually has .img on the end
I'd enable file extensions in Windows (here's a tutorial: https://www.howtohaven.com/system/show-file-extensions-in-windows-explorer.shtml ) and also use the Tab key on the keyboard to auto-complete the full file name. Make sure that the file name you're using has the extension (else Windows may not find it).
Also, when you flash TWRP, you may see 'Image not signed or corrupt', that is a normal message as TWRP is not cryptographically signed by Motorola.
With TWRP, you need to also boot directly to the recovery after flashing - easiest way to do this is to press the Volume keys on your device until you see 'Recovery' then press the Power key to select.

Hello echo92,
in my capture it was an attempt without .img extensions I should have pointed out that when I renamed it I attempt many solutions (even just name twrp.img or twrp-athene.img or twrp or twrp-athene or original name with and without extensions etc....).
Thanks for info for display extensions about windows because I looked for manip and not find
I'm under Linux so I didn't use win for many years but I have another pb with devices recognisation by adb and not to solved for the moment.So I install a win especially for rooting my phone it seems to be easier than Linux (and tuto are under windows)
So I will try again all my manips but in a nvidia forum I saw it was a windows issue and they only recommand to let complete path.
It's the most probant solution I have found until now.
I specify when I connect my phone after start it win recognize it normally so.........
I'm going crazy :silly:
