Okay, I screwed up

I'm not entirely sure what I did, but I think I just bricked this thing. Is there any way to restore the apps that I deleted off my Hero? I basically can't do anything with it. I can make phone calls but that's about it. I get a force close message that says "com.htc.RosieUtiltiy has stopped unexpectedly" and won't do anything than show me a phone pad after that.

Lmao no man u didn't brick. Only one way to do that and that's to flash a GSM radio. Just dl and flash a different rom. Make sure u wipe data and dalvik before flashing a new rom.

The problem I'm having is that I can't access anything through the PC either. Basically, I'm in over my head without a snorkel. I have the nandroid backup I made when I rooted the phone but don't know how to restore it.
Edited to add: When I say I have the backup, I mean it's on my PC but I don't know how to get it from there to the phone or even get past the dial pad.

Go into recovery mode and there is an option to connect to PC from there. I think its the second option. There u can transfer things to ur ad card. Once u get what u want to flash on ur SD card go to wipe and wipe the first two options and then either go to flash from SD or backup/restore nandroid. This is all from recovery. (Where u hit power and home button at same time when phone is off

At this point, you should turn your attention to a microsd adapter/card reader. Take your microsd card out of the phone (make sure it's safe to remove), put it in the card reader, and plug the card reader into your pc (if your pc has a slot for it). Transfer your backup from the pc to the cardreader. When finished, take the sdcard and put it back into the phone, and voila, you should now have your backup from the pc on your phone.

All I'm seeing when I go into the recovery mode is an option to clear storage. When I do that, it pulls up an option to reset phone which reboots the phone to the same problem I'm having. Am I doing something completely wrong?

The backup is on the card already. The problem is not being able to access anything from the phone aside from the dialer.

Just wanted to say thanks again Papa. Your help is greatly appreciated.

[Q][SOLVED] Sd card problem

Hi all,
I have a problem with my sd card. It's not recognized by my HD2 WP7!
So I searched on xda forum and other forum, and I saw that I need to reformat my card with specific tools and specific options... OK for that.
My question is: Do I need to flash my phone again with the new SD card or is it possible to get it recognized by the phone without a new flash?
Thanks for your help
Regards

Did you have it in your phone the first time you turned on wp7? It needs to be in the phone when it first turns on and you go through the phone setup. WP7 uses it as internal memory, so you can't remove it while running wp7, either. You can go to settings and go to about (I think that's what it is), then reset your phone. It will ask for confirmation twice, then will do a factory reset... make sure the card is in when you do this.

Yes. But the first card didn't worked, the wifi was always disconnected... so I changed and the wifi worked correctly but the storage space of WP7 doesn't use my sd card space... So I bought a new one, formatted it correctly and tried to use it in my phone and the result is the same.
If I reset the phone, will I have to reinstall chevronwp7?
Thanks for your help!!!

Why would he have to reflash? resetting does the same thing... I've always been able to restart everything by resetting.
And yes, to op, I think you have to chevron unlock it again after resetting, because a reset sets everything back like you just flashed again. When you tried a different card, did you hard reset it?

aye, reflashing isnt needed unles your original Flash was corrupted somehow or your upgrading the ROM, just do a hard reset, hold VOl down and VOL up when powered off and tap the power button, follow instructions.

Hi all,
Yes I tried a hard reset but nothing changed, my phone was still configured as if I had'nt hard reset it...
I'll giv it another try today!
Thanks everybody for your help!

How did you hard reset it? I always just went to settings, then to "about" I think it was... where ever it is that shows you how much memory is on your phone. Then hit reset there. It will tell you that all data will be erased and will ask you to confirm twice. Did you do it that way? Make sure the card is in when you reset. It might be a good idea to format card in computer first too.

i like to start from scratch to know where i went wrong, cause sometimes even I
skip steps thinking i know to much already.

[Q] I *think* I bricked it.

So I was working on installing a custom rom, and based on my experience (And some help from the walkthrough) flashing devices, I booted my custom recovery and proceeded to begin the factory reset.
Now with my SGS, which I've flashed about a bajillion times, I typically also formatted system, data, and cache, followed by the Dalvik cache. I did so.
After doing this, the tab will not boot. (To be expected)
After confirming it's non-bootableness, I went back into recovery to flash the ROM. However, when I attempt to choose the file, it tells me "Can't mount SD card".
I went into mounts and storage, mount SD-card, same error.
mount USB storage. "This kernel does not support USB storage"
*Apply facepalm here*
Any advice? Is there a way for me to push it through ADB? Download mode?

I read somewhere that you can do a factory reset by plugging in a keyboard and pressing the "Home" button.
I just cannot remember which thread it was but it was a few days ago.
Update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14022478 try this thread. Post #5 has the complete procedure for the factory reset.
Good luck!

You should have read everything before trying. If you had, you would know that this happens sometimes and its because some SD cards aren't compatible with clockwork mod.
Try a different card.

I didn't have my micro SD in.

Haha, don't feel bad, man. I put my cell phones sim into the sim slot on the wifi. Never saw it again.

[Q] Reboot S4 corrupt SDcard

Anyone else getting this? Every time I reboot my galaxy S4 device I get the error notification that my SD card is corrupt and requires re-formatting. I go ahead and try a reboot and everything is fine after that and all my files are present and accesible on the SD card.
Every time I want to reboot I end up having to reboot twice to get the SD card back.
Canadian device, all stock and no root. Using a Sandisk 64gb SD card.

I had such problem once on my SGS3 , sdcard wasn't seated well , could be something else but doesn't hurt to try.

I'll pull it out and check the pins and try to make sure it goes back in perfect. Thanks for the suggestion.

I was having problems with my sd card when I had custom kernel just deleted all the hacks and removed super su. Odin back to stock did a factory reset rerooted froze updates restored all my apps from backup and all's good. No more problems. Guess I'm staying away from all that kernel stuff for now.

defy+ unusable due to reboots

Well folks
last chance for this phone. as now bloody fed up of it..
I am using ginger m2s or whatever its called rom
And now the only way I can boot the damn phone is either without the sdcard in or with the android-secure folder deleted...
If I move just one app to sd card then forget rebooting phone as its thats bad and will simply not boot up, well it does but soon as phone is ready it reboots again..
Tried 4 different sd cards and same result...
does anyone have any ideas at all as to why this is happening?
regards

If it's on bootloop, you can try clearing cache.

Did that many times before posting...and if was cache related it wouldn't matter if android-secure file was present on sd card...

If you haven't already, try another ROM and see if the problem still exists. Maybe a lower class card might solve the problem. If not, then it's mostly the hardware which is causing that.
