HELP!!! screwed up my MyTouch 3G

I have the MyTouch 3G with the Cyanogen Recover 1.4.
I had the latest CyanogenMod 4.2.7 with no problems. I tried applying the Enoch theme 1.4.7 and it put my phone in a boot loop. I tried factory wiping. I don't have access to any of the cyanogenmod zip files on my SD card because the Cyanogen Updater doesn't put it on the root directory of the SD.
So is there a way to fix this? Get back to any build of the phone to work? Can I access the SD card if I connect it via USB to my PC? PLEASE HELP!!!!

i don t know if I undersoot you fully.BUT>>>> sometimes the SD card plays crazy,or get dammaged easy.In case you see the files on a computer but your phone is unable to read them is no big problem.If your phone is in bootloader mode and stucked there,it is a bit bigger problem.Have you ever applyed the hard reset ???It helps a lot.After that the SD card recognized by the phone as memory card2.So the phone is looking for the simple name SD MMEMORY.Or sd card.This is just matter of time.You give a name ending sd crad.bat and you can erase this bad sector data.In this case you might loose the program and your important data with it.BUT>>> you save sd card,and other files on it.
If you can t make it work coz your phone is in boot loader modus,than you need professional help.And a new rom update.

You can enable usb mode in Cyanogen's recovery image by connecting the usb cable, dropping in to the console and typing (without quotes) "ums_enable" move your ROM and when you're done "ums_disable"
then "reboot recovery" and reflash.
If you don't have a computer you can use the console to my the files.
mount /sdcard <- Mounts the fat32 partition
ls <- See what files/folders are in the current directory
cd nameoffolder < change directory
then once you're in the folder where the ROMs are stored (cm-update, I believe) you can either move or copy them to the root.
use 'ls' again to find the filenanme of the ROM you want to copy/move..
cp name-of-rom.zip /sdcard <- to copy the ROM to the root, or use 'mv' to move the file.
EDIT: I am an idiot. You're on a MyTouch so you can't use the console in recovery. In that case connect your phone to your computer (which has the sdk setup with drivers) and type the commands I stated about after 'adb shell'

how do you NOT let it boot back to Android

these directions from the thread on ...if youre having trouble..

If it does not show up at all, reboot the phone and try again, but do NOT let it boot back to Android. You can get back in to the bootloader by waiting until the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen shows up and typing 'adb reboot bootloader' with the usb cable attached.
have reformatted sdcard with external card reader to fat32, copied liberated....zip onto the drive and inserted back into phone (while it was powered off)
each time the .... adb devices fails to see it and android loads it makes changes to the sdcard, inserting one or two directories

Does it show up in adb devices after it has booted to android? It sounds like you're missing some drivers. You should really do this from linux or osx to avoid driver issues - try downloading a linux livecd.

I was having a similar issue.. here is what I did to fix it.
First I made sure it could be seen by ADB loop when the phone was not in the bootloader screen. Then I shut it down and reformatted the SDcard in an external card reader.
Open up 2 command prompt windows and start loop in one and have this adb command in another "adb reboot bootloader" but do not hit enter.
Reboot the phone while plugged in to the USB and during the HTC boot screen you should see the phone show up in the loop this is when you hit enter on the adb command it will then reboot the phone to the bootloader screen and follow the instructions from there to flash the rom/root.

[Q] What did I do?

I was running the Fresh 2.4.0 Rom. I could not install apps to the SD card. I decided to reformat my partition...I ended up reformatting every option there was
I am not able to get past the HTC screen, or copy recovery images to the SD card.
I do seem to have access to the ADB. I hope I am not way over my head with this.
Thanks,

If you have adb access you should be alright just flash a recovery and then flash a rom.
Can you adb remount and then adb shell?

yes, i can get to the ADB shell, but when i try to push the recovery image, tehn i am still lost, the phone reboots, and the white HTC screen.

i did somehow get the Fresh Rom onto the SD card and I am in the process of rebooting now. Not sure what I did different, but the SD card showed op as a removable drive, right above the Hero Icon drive. I was then able to drag the files to the Root SD and reinstall the ROM.
I seem to have a full install of the Fresh Rom 2.4.0 now.

suddenly applications on sd does not work

i did nothing new, no update, just while installing some games, pc suite got a freeze, i restarted my pc and my DHD, all applications installed on the sd card are not working, but my sd card is mounted and i can access sd card root using astro, also i tried to install some apps using astro, but installation bar progress takes forever and didnt finish, even installing from market did not start.
any suggestion on what is going here?
P.S.: i tried to unmount than mount my sdcard, and nothing changed.

this is turning very serious, plz i need help.
i did a factory reset, and i did install the stock rom from sdcard, both ways keep the problem, that i cant sync the device or mak it appear as disk drive, i can only make a internet passthrough connection, but no drive no htc sync, i did a lot of tries, debug on off, connect reconnect usb, restart device, restart pc, use another pc, i also have stock rom .6, and original kernel with latest htc sync installed.

m very frustrated now, i have no recovery, the device wont accept installing anything from pc, or from market place, installing process takes forever and do nothing, the problem is in the device not the pc, is there a way to get back my device to operate properly, please help

Is you SD card corrupted? Can you access it?

i will list it again as following:
-stock rom .6 with original kernel
-radio s off
-no recovery
-sd doesnt seems corrupted cause i can access it once with astro, and i can access it with pc suite only as disk drive
-i tried with mounted and unmounted sd card (no fix)
-i did a factory reset (no fix)
-i did install the rom from sdcard (no fix)
-i tried another pc for syncing (no fix)
-i can only make internet passthrough but no disk drive or htc sync
-in market i can press on install but nothing will happen
-in desktop htc sync, if i get luck and see it, if i browse to install an apk, it will simply freeze.
please all i need urgent help, i think something bad happened to my device

How about copying all the data from yr sd card into another card? Your current card could be faulty but stil accessible by astro.
You could also try copying everything out to your PC and then reformat the card and copying everything back.
If stil don't work then start brand new by reformatting the card and reinstalling all your apps

i will try it man for sure but just for informations:
-say i have no sdcard in the device (sdcard is unmounted) should i be able to install from market or install from pc some apk?
if yes than the problem is not in the sdcard, if no than i have hope to do it.
P.S.: how can i format the sdcard if i cant access it as disk drive?

You can format from within Android, Settings -> SD Card & Phone Storage -> Unmount first then Format.
Have you got another SD card to try with?

-i formatted the sd card, insert it in DHD (doesnt work)
-i replaced the sd card by another one (doesnt work)
-reinsert the new sd card and reboot (now problem is fixed)
-now back to the original sd card (and yes the problem is fixed)
what happened i dont know, why it's fixed i dont know, it's like a sudden problem and sudden fix, if anyone have any idea of what happened plz enlight us for future or similar issues.

Help - vold.fstab bootloop - Blu Studio 5.0 II

Hi, I'm new in all this stuff and as the title says I have a bootloop on my Blu Studio 5.0 II. So this is what happened, I rooted my phoe with the KingRoot app, everything went great, I did this because I wanted to use my SD card as Internal storage so I can download more apps (Blu Studio 5.0 II only has around 1 GB of Internal memory), I tried using extarnal to internal but this result in my phone not even recognizing my sd card, so I tried a different way, editing vold.fstab at /storage/etc, but this didn't work either, at settings>storage my phone shows 3 different storages: Internal, SD Card and Phone Storage (sorry if I translate something wrong my phone is in spanish I hope you know what I'm talking about), so afert I reboot my phone I had 1gb 1gb and 14gb, my sd card was at the last of this 3 storage instead of the first one, searching on internet I found "a solution" and this is when everything went wrong:
I copied the vold.fstab file to my pc, copy and paste the code, saved it, copied to my sd card ad paste it on /system/etc, with ES File Explorer and rebooted, this is when the bootloop started
I have a copy of the original vold.fstap and I did backup before this happen, so I tried to push the file with ADB Minimal and Fastboot as I saw on a video but I have erros like read-only file system, and if I try using adb shell > su It says [-] Connection to ui timed out, also adb root cannot run in production builds.
so I got tired of that and dowload a ROM that it's supposed to be the same as my model D532u and tried to use SP Flashtool but stuck on 0% I don't know I read that is a drivers problem but I had no problem with adb or fastboot
so I tried to fastboot flash system but I'm also stuck, it says "erasing 'system' ..." and nothing happens, it worked flashing recovery and boot.
can someone help me?
