i have a solution for you my friend ... you need to wipe the phone (without your media ofcourse) by cwm script
i faced this when using custom roms ... get cwm and wipe using the attached zip and then flash by odin or cwm any rom you like
the script i give will appear like flashing new rom but its not dont worry
this script wipes system\cache\data\dav-cache other stuff but wont touch you media on internal memory or sd card cheers
NOTE : dont boot after using it you must flash a rom by cwm or odin ... if odin shut the phone dont let it boot normally

[Q] Formatted to much on my Wildfire.

Hello,
Here's the deal.
I managed to format pretty much everything with my Wildfire which was kind of stupid. So now it won't start because I don't have android installed anymore. Both the phone system and the SD card is formatted so I no longer have any source from which I can install.
What should I do?

you have recovery?
I can enter recovery. I have ClockworkMod Recovery.
But there I can't to a factory reset as I managed to format it.
Dont you have a stored nandroid backup? what network you on?
I was to eager to move forward with everything so I never created a backup... Stupid mistake really, but that's why I'm trying to fix it.
Right now when I start the phone I only see a white screen and the htc logo in green and then it is like that until I remove the battery.
EDIT: The only solution that I think is possible would be to stick the sd card into a card reader and add a rom so I can flash the phone again in order to get the OS back. Would that be possible?
One word... ****... :S

I can get into clockwork recovery. Problem is I can't access the SD card as I don't have a card reader myself. But I guess that's my only option atm so I'll have to wait until I get a chance to try it out.
Cant you mount the sdcard from the advanced options in clockwork recovery and dump the rom onto it?

Goto partitions menu in recovery then goto mount usb storage and put the rom on and flash it

copy any rom to your microSD with a card reader and boot recovery!
Yes it's working. Thanks for all the help.
I have done the same mistake ....but I didn't quite understand what I have to do ...
I download any ROM on my sd card, put it back on my wildfire and then reboot recovery?? it that it?
Read through this thread, and if your still stuck, i will help you sort it out.
ROM fixed, touchscreen failed
I succeded with a new rom so I was very happy that I could pass the white screen with the htc logo on it. But then another problem came up. f***** frustrating. My touch screen does not respond. I tried rebooting. takind the battery off. Nothing!!! I have not dammaged the touch screen in any way ....like drop it or something like that . it just didn't respond.
Is there any possibility to fix it myself?
Try reinstalling the rom, if that does not work, try another rom. Let us know how it goes.
I've tried both options and the touchscreen is still not working. I can't understand how it stop workin...

Really need help guys...

I have rooted and installed hboot and clockworkmod. Flash clockwork recovery and installed buzz/oc 1.22ghz CM.zip but now my desire hd keeps resetting on the flash screen. I didnt choose backup my rom on the clockwork options and tried restore but it says no files found.....am i doomed? I still can get inside clockworkmod recovery now....please help...
PM me what rom your running etc and ill run through a step by step guide to help you get your DHD working again.
I had the same problem
I was running the default rom that came with the desire hd...but i have flashed it to buzz/oc 1.22ghz rom..it said install sucessful but it keeps rebooting at the htc splash screen...i only have 2 roms in zip in my sd card which are both the buzz/oc sense and CM.zip...

Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??
or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..
Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...
Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Maybe it was for the best...you will enjoy custom roms, you can do so much..take a quick look at my DHD screenshot...its so far away from stock now

yes i can get into recovery. I tried flashing synergy rom. would it be best to just run the ruu and redo the rooting process?
Reformatting is by far the best way. There is a remove sd partition selection in ClockWorkMod and Amon Ra recoverys,but ive never used them,bcuz i have no need to partition my sdcard because i always have 150mb,or more,free space,no matter which rom i use or what apps i add/install(original Evo 4G).Id simply copy the contents of your sdcard to your computer,then reformat the sdcard,and reinstall the content back to your sdcard.I dont suggest the remove sdcard partition method simply because ive never used it. Good luck.
thank ibcary we got that far now i'm just stuck on the splash screen. the reason for wanting to get rid of the partion is cause it was just saying b. not giving me any info on the card.
If u can get to recovery your doing good. Use Amon Ra if possible. CWMod doesnt always do a full wipe. id try going into recovery and perform a full wipe,wipe dalvik,wipe data,etc,etc...Then download a rom that u know works and is stable. I like MikGs Sense 2.1/3.0 roms,but which rom all depends on your device. Choose a rom thats well known to be a good,stable rom.Try flashing the newly downloaded rom from your sdcard thru recovery and if that doesnt work,then id try using a new/different sdcard. Sdcards dont last forever,and some are downright junk. As long as u can get to your bootloader theres still hope. Im sure your device is ok,but it could be a bad sdcard or a bad rom download. Thats why i recomended a new rom download,and if that doesnt work then try a new sdcard. Goodluck
ok. it was a new sd card that i partioned. am download a rom that I have used before and never had any problem with. but if this doesn't work should i just unroot and run the ruu and start over again?
how do i load the rom onto the sd card since it gets stuck at the splash screen??

thanks you Holsum will give it a try.
once you have root and busybox installed correctly theres not much unrooting and then rooting again will solve.Except to return your device to stock,and to unroot i usually flash the unrooted stock rom. U can try the Root Checker app from the Market just to make sure your rooted and have busybox installed correctly. However custom roms are already rooted and have busybox installed correctly. If its a new sdcard id still try another sdcard. Use an sdcard u know is good. I bought a few cheap sdcards that were 8GB class 10 becuz i got a great deal on them,10 for $110.but out of the 10,only 7 were even recognized by my Evo or my HP dv7 Netbook and worked.Also i highly doubt they are class 10,bcuz my SanDisk 16GB C10 sdcard is much faster,and older too. So just bcuz its new doesnt mean its good.If it still wont work after a fresh wipe using Amon Ra recovery,NOT ClockWork Mod recovery,and a fresh/newly downloaded rom flashed from a different sdcard using Amon Ra recovery to fully wipe,then flash the newly downloaded rom from the different sdcard to your device. That shud work,but if it doesnt u can try reinstalling or updating your recovery.
As usual im a little behind again with my post. Good luck

First: Did you partition all the card or only a certain amount ?
Second: Almost all the Custom recoveries have format card so do that.Then boot back in recovery and mount your card from recovery.
Third: Do not run RUU Period.
Fourth: Wipe all, cache, dalvik and all 2or3 times.
You wont get stuck on splash. since you wipe all give it a bit of time to check everything about 5-10 minutes

on partition the card i just hit the power button on all of it. got a custom rom back on my phone now it is up and running.
I would suggest using this program when formatting your SD ..
https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
Just and FYI, when partitioning your SD Card, it will wipe the contents. So you'll need to partition SD Card and then move over any content you want to install.

bricked my galaxy note, by wiping through cwm, any chance that my pics got deleted

As above, sending my phone back after bricking it, but I have a problem I have pics and videos of me and the Mrs doing things on holiday and I'm worried they are going to be seen uploaded to the net...the the Mrs is worried.
What's the chances I'd my files being on there after a wipe through cwm?
Did you format your internal SD? That should fix any potential issue. Even though the phone is bricked you should be able to format using CWM. or else you can connect via ADB and reformat....
Yes, I think that's how I busted it to start with. There is no recovery option there any more..cwm has gone too. The only thing I can do it get it in to download mode. I tried using odin to partition the internal memory and then put stock OS on there but it gets stuck and won't put the Rom on it.
I took it back to the shop and he said they are going to send me a bag, and once they get my phone they will send me out a new one, but me and the Mrs is a little worried that they will get his of our media
Will abd let me view the file system with the phone in download mode, or with the phone being off...?
I dont think they will extract whatever is inside. They will simply replace the board and throw the damaged one in the bin.
Be careful nct time though.

Hi,
Well I am sure you'd be able to flash a kernal, something like speedmod k3-3, or thor kernal. Then you should be able to get to the recovery mode.
If this fails, then you need to connect to ADB-- and it should work both in the download, and recovery modes. Then by using "parted" you can delete / create partitions. I suggest you format the SD partition (UMS).
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886 it has some of the parted commands you'd need..
BTW. do you have a yellow triangle ATM?
I need more information before I can help you, I will require a copy of each and every Picture & Video that you dont want samsung to see, Then i will fully examine it several times and we will take it from there
i have a yellow triangle but it doesnt look like the one listed as the counter for rom flashing. it says something about failed os install and to connect to kies for recovery...something along those lines, i dont have to phone handy right now.
i dont really want to flash a kernal just incase it voids the warranty and i cant fix it or send it back.
so if i format using adb everything should be wiped clean off it?
my girlfiend is pretty p!ssed with me atm whoops :crying:

Flash speed mod via Odin to get cwm back and try again.

Samsung has no right to even browse through your photos. Of course it happens, but it's illegal for them and if you'll find any of those pictures uploaded somewhere by them, you've got grounds to sue ( especially if they're private )
Anyway, have you tried recovery mode in Kies ? It's not the best tool, but it helps sometimes.

Flash speedmod 3-3 with PC Odin.
If it's successful , boot into recovery and format sd card. (I am not sure but in speedmod recovery internal sd card is external and the other way around.)
To remove yellow triangle and flash counter , flash the Godsend Angelom kernel and wipe data/factory reset ....kaboom....! Your phone will be stone cold dead and no one can see/recover data on sd card.
would i use speed mod through PDA?
have any of you ever been through this? did you still have your media when you flashed a new kernal/rom?
Hey can ur pc still read the phone as a storage device? If so download recuva to ur pc and run a scan. Itll recover about 80% of all files u had on there

no, it doesnt see it, if it did then i would just format it on the pc. its not that i want the files, i just dont want anyone else to have them lol
Did you delete partitions? You can flash firmware/kernal via odin. You may need to use a pit file. Or else create partitions using adb shell
Or if ur cirtain if u formatted ur sd, u can also send to sammy as is?

It's a longshot, but try running Odin from the softbrick screen (the one with the Phone, exclamation sign and the PC). I had a guy brick a galaxy tab at work and Heimdall wouldn't finish the flash in Download Mode, but it worked at the softbrick screen. Best of luck.

I am having problem with my lg optimus l3 e400. I just rooted it the other day to solve the memory problems of the phone. It has been working fine until today. What happened was, it just turned off and whenever i turn it on, it goes directly to cwm recovery, which has been installed during the root process thru ROM manager app. I also found out that the SD card is corrupted. I had to format the SD card and tried pasting stock ROM's but it still doesn't boot and still goes to recoovery everytime I turn it on. I tried to format the device, the cache, and the other format options in recovery mode but the issue is still not solved. Can anyone please help? And if possible, give me a step by step guide because I'm kinda new at this. Thanks.

If you highlight the reboot option and then press the power key what happens?Does the phone reboot?If not somethings gone wrong...Anyway try flashing another custom ROM(cyanoid,for example @linuxxx)Does CWM recovery mount the SD card?Did you flash SD merge and you aren't using a SD merge compatible kernel?Anyway you can't flash stock roms from the phone.You must use the good old KDZ(How many times did he save me....)

Can you guys give me a link? i'm having a hard time looking for stock roms and i don't even know how to distinguish stock rom and custom rom. the sd card that was working before the happened got corrupted but after inserting it to another phone and formatting the sd card, it seems to be working and the sd card can be mounted. i'm not sure with the sd merge compatiility with the kernel but it worked for a few days so i think it is compatible. the phone does not reboot. whenever i reboot it or turn it on, it just goes to recovery mode. thanks.

http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=11 this link is for the stock roms.Just download one of them(the best one is v10m)And then flash it thru kdz.I prefer it cause it's more UNOFFICIAL.This is the guide for using KDZ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582881 Have a nice day!
P.S. You can ignore step 4 since the link i gave you is better
