I did the same thing yesterday. My solution was to just flash the dbdata.rfs from the JJ4.tar file. I did this as I was trying not to flash something that would wipe out my /sdcard partition. It worked and I didn't loose any data. 4 hours of failed flashing had me worried for a while

Hello,
Do you wipe cache partition after a flash?
If not, when is best to do it?
My phone has been stuck on the Samsung logo for 5-6 days now.
Thank you,

i think i'm bricked - please help

i was just using my nexus perfectly it was running 2.3.6
i wanted to root... i'm guessing i used the wrong method
i used super one click... idiotic move
the phone is constantly rebooting
i've unlocked the bootloader and i used bextboot...
anyone know how to fix this?
thanks in advance!
root
i feel your pain ,i really do 'cos i have just gone thru this process two days ago!.
if you follow the guides below ,you should recover your phone as i did.
VAIDUS SIRTAUTUS BLOG --google it 'cos i'm not allowed to post links ...Yet
good luck and remember to back up your data BEFORE you start!
dennis
Can you access recovery? press trackball and power(same time) if it gets you to the 3 androids on scateboard i think youre all good, proceed to recovery and just flash the stock image link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012382 then try to root again gingerbreak would be be a good choice.
thanks... now i'm just having one issue
i want to flash the cool3drhyme mod, it keeps rebooting though
i flashed it through clockworkmod
i feel like i'm doing something wrong
i created the EXT4 partition using mini tool partition before flashing
after that it just stayed on the screen for like 10 min
so i formatted my card completely to fat32 and flashed again and it keeps rebooting
i feel like this has something to do with the EXT partition
Did you read OP page and last dozen or so pages of thread for tips, info etc
It requires 1gb ext4--I have had no problems with ext3
Sense roms are big--I use 1.5gb 0 swap
Repartition outside of phone like you did, do a full format not quick--I like sdformatter
Not sure on your recovery--but you need to wipe System/Data/Caches/etc
Some boots do take awhile for Sense roms--RCADS took 14 minutes on initial boot
If too long just pull battery, sometimes it will boot back up fairly quickly
Be sure to always wipe data and cache when installing a different rom. (Not upgrading the same rom, then it's okay not to wipe data, but wiping cache can help)
It truly boggles my mind when people use an unlock method OTHER than the one BUILT IN TO THE PHONE!
And then they're surprised when it doesn't work. -_-
and created a special patch to run the full wape used the recently

[Q] HTC HD2 from android 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 upgrade

Hi there,
I have the NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.1a_NAND_(Android-2.3.6) on my HTC HD2 and I downloaded the TyphooN_CM7_v3.6.8-MAGLDR ROM but there was a slight problem, everything went well up until the moment when the phone boot up which it stayed on the android figure for ever, i have waited maybe 20+ minutes for it to load/boot but there was nothing. I re-flash twice but still nothing was happening, also rebooted the phone couple of times but it kept locking at the boot up android figure screen. Do you have any ideas why or any other suggestions? Please if you could help that would be most appreciated.
MAGLDR Ver. 1.13

Which cwm partition size did you use ? system/cahce.
If you used the right knows, that means that you have bad blocks. That can affect a lot of thing. Increasing Misc partition helps.
It is not an upgrade it is a clean installation of the nw rkm. I formatted the old system 2.3.6 and I installed the 2.3.7 ftom scratch on the internal memory of the phone. I haven't touched the sd whatsoever. The proccess was exactly the same as I did with the 2.3.6 version of android. Hmm don't know why is acting like this, please help, thanks

Pm me your teamviewer Id. I will help you.
Right now on the phone i have the 2.3.6, am not going to do the attempt for the phone tongiht, is getting late for this now , as for teamviewer how would you help me? everything takes place on the phone. If you want we can do this on the weeknd at some point. do you have msn or skype so we can arrange the meeting? lol
Thanks for your effort bud
Try redoing the partition as the other poster said. Tytung's NexusHD2 uses a 135MB partition with 2MB of cache. Typhoon's uses a 150MB partition with 5MB of cache. If you didn't change the partition size and are still using the one for Tytung's when going to Typhoon, this is probably the cause of the boot up issue you are seeing.
Ok, you mean to make the partitions on the sd card right? And the rom will install on the sd and not on the phone then? So I have to format the sd?

[Q] Boot problem with all Roms

Hello everybody
Just to describe the problem I quote what I've written here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32054164&posted=1#post32054164
Hello everybody
I've got a little problem... after a system crash (don't ask me how that happened) I had to re-flash my ROM. Now, after the reboot the "H" was flashing on my screen and turning around 'n around 'n around... after 30 minutes I plugged out the battery and re-plugged it in. Since then I’m not able to boot into Android, I only get the “Android” Text and Logo on my screen but the “H” doesn’t appear anymore.
I tried to re-flash the Rom and also wipe my device (task29), re-flash clk (I got now the 5.0.2 ClK Recovery) and HBoot. But I’m not able to boot the device. I also tried to flash other CM7 Roms (Partition 160 MB, Cache 5MB) but it doesn’t work for me
Anyone got an idea?

There are two ways of fixing this problem. One way requires you to use Mutty and was technical and mayby had a chance destroy your NAND, I don't remember because it was a while ago I was researching this.
The other solution which is what I recommend and did because it is a lot simpler and easier is to work around your corrupted block. You can do this a couple of ways:
Firstly, a way is to use CLK 1.5 to move a partition over the problem. For instance if you had a bad block around 25 put the first partition recovery partition to 30 MB. Then you can enjoy flashing ROM's again without the NAND problem. I have this solution working now.
Secondly, another simpler way is to use an Android SD ROM to bypass the corrupted block on you internal NAND now and forward into the future.
For more information about bad NAND blocks and to figure out if you have them and where they are go to:

We'll thank you for your fast answer. I tried various sizes of the partitions but none worked for me. I now got a error msg in H Boot "A unrecoverable error occurred" and the phone shots down. Also I don't get any of the "bad block" errors in my recovery log when erazing and re-installing a ROM.
I hope you can help me out
Can I use a SD Rom and boot it via H Boot?
Edit 2: So now after flashing a ROM and rebooting with Clockwork Mod it starts himself, than shuts himself down after a few seconds with the HTC Logo, than boots into H Loader... and always the same error message: "A unrecoverable error occurred, rebooting to Bootloader"

I now reinstalled everything with the American Android starter Kit, installed CLK 1.4.0.1 & RUU 190 _ 5 image (190 system, 5 cache) and tried to flash a ROM.
ClK Fastboot stops saying:
fastboot_init()
udc_start()
-- suspend --
What can I do now?
Yes I already tried to wipe dalvik cache, format boot.... I think the problem must be somewhere else...
Please help me!!
Well it seems that I fixed the problem... I found a old Backup from a new flashed ROM in Clockwork Recovery. I flashed that and my phone did boot again.
Cannot understand what happend. Is it possible that moving the ROM files to flash on the sd card can corrupt them?

[Q] U8800-51 totally ruined! pls help

Hello guys! first of all sorry for my English!...well i messed up my u8800-51 and i cant get it to work, i´ve read most of related posts, but nothing work, so i'll try to explay what happened, i hope u understand my issue and help me...
Ok i had a 2.3.5 GB non-official installed, from androidmovida.. my phone was working just fine, but due to all the apps and media it was kind of slowing down, so i restored it to factory settings... when i did this, my phone started up normal, and it was almost perfect again, but i realized that even without any app installed i had 800mb of the ROM occupied, leaving me less than 200mb, this was just wrong, the ammount of memory used just after a factory reset should be around 350mb... so i installed cwm 5.0.2.7 and booted it to recovery mode, here i pressed;
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
and what i think that screwed my phone..i went to mount and storage and pressed format /system...
Since then my phone didnt start, but i was able to get into the recovery mode... so i downoaded the stock 2.2 froyo from huawei
(this page is in spanish cuz the phone is sold in Venezuela).
i formated my SD card, and put the dload folder in its root and the update process started, but failed...
now i cant even get to the recovery mode, ive tride the process to install the fw a million times and it keeps failling..
and i just can get to the updating process or to the pink screen..if i connect my phone and leave it connected it shows up the logo and turn off, and repeat over and over..
my guess is that somehow i cant install the rom because the memory is almost full, but i have no idea of how to clear it!
if any of u guys can help me i would appriciate it a lot!!!
again sorry for my English and for the long post, but i wanted to be specific so you dont waste time telling me to do things ive already done! thank you!!!!

You need a micro sd reader and hook it up to a computer than copy the stock gb over and delete the old froyo. You should've asked.
I've read this may work, but android movida was closed down.
Try this.

sorry its embarrasing i have to ask, but i'm new with android so im a little lost! but according to what i got to learn last night trying to make my phone come back to life, there's no GB stock for the u8800-51, actually the only stock fw in huawei was the one i downloaded, and the one i installed from androidmovida required froyo to be succesfully updated..anyways ill download GB to see what happens, but if you could be a little more specific it would be nice, buecause as i said, i just learned a few things last night!!
Thank you very much for your help!
