Pretty sure i bricked my phone

Ok, so i had the dudes build on my phone (1.2) and i decided to try and put my apps on my sd. i had already had my sd card with the ext 2 partition so i followed these instructions from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512743) :
Code:
Next, after the reboot, I ran the apps2sd 2 app again and pressed "copy apps to sd" (let it do its thing)
Reboot.
Next I went back to the emulator and typed:
su
mkdir /system/sd/app-private
mkdir /system/sd/dalvik-cache
[B]Reboot.[/B]
Go back to the apps2sd 2 app and hit move dalvik-cache.
Reboot for good measure and your done.
i got to the bolded reboot and after my phone booted up, many of my apps were missing (including appstosd) and many of them were named com.____.____. i decided to restore from a nandroid backup that i had made before doing anything with appstosd and that seemed to work fine. i later realized that i could no longer install apps (an error would occur) and a few hours later my phone turned off. when i turned it back on it got stuck at the android boot screen so once i got home i wiped my phone and attempted to restore from the nandroid backup. i am still stuck at the android screen and am not sure what to do.

If you are stuck at the android screen I would try to reflash the update and maybe that will fix it, That works for me when I am stuck in a bootloop sometimes.

Easy
Phone wont Fully boot up because you messed up on appstosd.
Programs wont install because they are being routed to your sdcard which isnt set up right.. (Also Dudes latest build has apps2sd set up automatically)
Wipe... Restore one of your backups.... Or Just Reflash it with a different build.,
Format your card and then just use Apps2sd2 (program) to repartition your sdcard/setup appstosd
SHOULD FIX ALL YOUR PROBLEMS....

I had the same thing happen. cyanogen 4.04, come to find out that you don't use ApptoSD anymore. But there all the old threads for partitioning us ApptoSD to do it.
Now I'm stuck at the recovery screen without a nandroid back up. Can I use one from someone else?
Or what should I do?

It's probably best to start over: wipe your ext, wipe and your nand, and reflash.
To wipe your ext, boot in to recovery and go to the console-
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/*
Then perform a wipe and reflash the ROM. A2SD should be working again.

error mounting /data- brick? LOL

I tried reflashing a sense 3.0 2.3.3 rom because of some minor issues. Now I may have nuked my /data partition. first it wouldn't format so I pulled battery numerous times. and Mounted it through mounts and storage menu, then I hit format, and it formatted, so I hit mount again and flashed the rom. and when I restarted the phone after splash screen the phone restarted and went into recovery
Tried everything including mounting /data again and it keeps saying error mounting /data. am I screwed?
I have .2007 eng bootloader btw. shoud I try the pd15img?

I don't think you need to do that. You could do a fastboot erase, then go back into recovery and wipe data to reformat it /data, effectively starting from nothing.

Now I am getting mount /cache errors. aww man I think my phone is done....
edit: used the pd15img and I am back on stock :| s= off but I have the stock bootloader wtf.... how do I get my eng bootloader back?
this is how I fixed it:
I was on eng bootloader, but then I got reverted back to the stock bootloader.
This is how I encountered the problem. first of all I was having issues with raffy's fusion 3.0 rom, so I decided to reflash it, but it wouldn't flash or format /data, then I mounted it to through mounts and storage on the latest cwm 3.0.2.4 and hit format.
After that I tried reflashing his rom, it flashed but, after splashscreen I was redirected to my recovery instead. that's when I freaked because when I tried mounting data it said error cannot mount /data. so I fired up adb and did fastboot erase system -w and it erased it including cache.
then I popped up into recovery and BOOM started having cache mount errors experienced by a lot of people lately.
I thought I was SOL, but nope I downloaded the pd15img from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V4NAODYZ
and put it on the root of my sd card and it worked....
so if anyone of you dudes are having similar problems try that ^

[Q] [LG P700] Recovery Can't Mount /data

I've had a few problems installing ROMs recently; boot loops, errors etc. And then when I try to restore my back-up, having wiped everything - /system, /data, /cache, /(int)sd_card, it reports a failure to restore the /data. But when I restart my phone, it's still how I left it: apps, phonebook, messages are still there and still work. I can read and write to the /data partition with ES or Xplore.
It first occurred using CWM but it did the same thing with TWRP, as well. TWRP reports 'failed to mount data', CWM, in Mounts & Storage, says "unmount /data" but nothing happens when I click on it. It just flashes and stays on 'unmount' option.
Backup data from both recoveries is fine. It's the right size and if I copy it to my PC and unpack it, everything is there so recovery has no problem reading the /data partition. Just writing to it. Or formatting it.
Any clues as to what's causing this would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running V20E Android 4.1.2 by szymel.

[Q] Unable to flash anything.

Hello.
I was going to go back from DU to CM on my d802 and wiped everything as usual. By a mistake I also formated SDcard (yes, incredibly stupid mistake). So now I have no OS on my phone and nothing to flash. After a couple of hours I managed to push CM with ADB, though it was really hard, as it just doesn't want to push big files sometimes. As it said that there is no such directory or file, when I tried to push it to /sdcard and some other directories, I pushed it to /system.
I used:
adb root
adb remount
adb push cm.zip /system
In recovery after mounting /system, I was able to flash my CM zipfile. So I did, but right after MD5 check the phone rebooted and got stuck in lg reboot screen. When I rebooted back into recovery, I was unable to mount /system for some reason, so now I can't acces zipfile to flash it and it seems that I can't push it to any directory exept /system.
I ran out of ideas and will appreciate any help and advice.

[Q] Stuck booting after attempting to format through TWRP

Hi, I tried to format my device through the settings, and it rebooted into TWRP, I clicked format and it couldn't mount cache, so I formatted data only, now it can't mount storage. I've already tried flashing stock rom/recovery and it didn't do anything except replace TWRP.

I think I may have corrupted /data, but I am unsure.

Nevermind, got it working. Had to CHMOD 755
