[Q] Any way to fix this? (stuck in bootloader screen)

Was messing around with Kernel Manager Lite and tried to flash some kernel that looked interesting (didn't do any research or anything to see if it was compatible like the giant noob I am) but it said something about not having enough space and to reboot after I had more. I went and moved some apps to my SD card, rebooted, and now I'm stuck in that bootloader screen (fastboot, recovery, etc.). Phone isn't recognized by my computer.
Any way my idiotic self can fix this? Or am I screwed?
Running RC 4 of CyanogenMod.

Can you boot into recovery? If so, do you have any ROMs saved on your SD card? or possibly a nandroid of your current (pre-kernel testing) rom?

No. It just goes back to the bootloader.

well if u can go to bootloader ur not bricked so if u like u can just run a pc36img
in bootloader to go to stock

do you have a micro sd card reader that your card can be inserted into so that it can be read from your computer without being in your phone?

If your bootloader still shows Ship S off, then try reflashing your recovery. I'm not sure whiich one you're used to using, but I'm going to attatch a PC36IMG of amon ra v2.3. Put the file on the main directory of your sd card, then boot to your bootloader. WHen it asks you to update, say yes. Once it finishes, you should then have recovery back and be able to start fresh with a new rom. BTW, if you were using clockwork before, do not attempt to restore any backups made with clockwork while you're using amon ra. It'll break a lot of stuff most likely.
If you're bootloader for whatever reason shows Ship S on, then I would run an RUU and flash back to stock, then start again.

But if his phone isn't recognized by his computer, and he doesn't have a micro sd card converter for his computer...he can't exactly put that pc36img on his card...

Well, you're right. I guess I forget that every one might not have one. I have like 5 laying around here for some reason, haha. They're everywhere. If he had another phone with an sd card slot, he could swap the card into that other phone for a sec to move the file.
And sorry if I missed it, but does fastboot recognize the device?
TO the OP:
Edit: do you see anything in your device manager when you select 'hboot' usb from the bootloader screen?

Ah, we're good, booting into a ROM now. Thankfully I just got a card reader a couple days before this happened!
Thank you all for the help! Would have been stuck like this if it hadn't been for you guys.

I too have a few laying around, mostly from old phones (using one from my old samsung instinct as we speak lol), but from what he said, his phone isn't reconized at all by his computer.

You're welcome, even though, it was probably k2buckley's advice that fixed you.
Happy Flashing

One last thing, I can restore my apps right?

as long as you backed them up with Titanium backup...which backs them up to your SD card, you should be able to restore them...if you haven't done that...nor have you made a recent nandroid backup, then you'll have to re-download those apps...

I'm having the exact same problem sorta. I got careless and deleted all my old recovery backups but one and I got what I deserved when I rebooted. The rom i was using didn't flash and now when i select recovery from bootloader screen it just kicks me right back to start. I've got titanium bu for my apps, but wtf cares if I can get back going again. This is first time i've really got in problem. I've always used clockworkmod as recovery because it was easy and in rom manager when I started. Ok so I can put pc36img on my sd card and then reboot correct? I have more than one sd card, so any tips for best way to go about this like that file and anything else? And where is best place to get a zip file that is best to use? Rooted with unrevoked, clockworkmod and 0003 is phone model. I've got a blank 8g card, 16 and 32 both have stuff on them. Music, rom zips etc.....any help would be greatly appreciated i'm in deep water and just learned how to swim lol.

Put the file pc36img.zip on the root of your sd card...reboot into bootloader...when it asks if you'd like to update, say yes...this will flash amon_ra recovery.
Then flash a new rom.
Id suggest using amon_ra, as I've never had a problem with it...not to bash on clockwork, but I see more people have problems clockwork not functioning correctly...
It's nice to use with rom manager, but convenience can come at a cost...

Yeah I can tell that almost all the advanced guys use that. I been meaning to switch anyways just kinda like cleaning the gutters on your house. Easy to put off until it causes problem. I been using clockwordmod simply cause that was most simple fix when I first rooted cpl months ago. Now that i've flashed several roms and kernals etc i feel comfortable with trying. This is only time i've been like uh oh wtf do i do now? Lol you would think that doing a backup and making sure they are secure would not be such secret! I mean i've only been warned 1000 times yall really meant that huh....lesson learned and no more short cuts i swear if i can just get out this jam. thanks.....gonna go download rename and put it on sd card.

Live and learn brother lol.
Good luck, keep me posted

And from what it looks like, you shouldn't have to rename the file that buck put up in the first page...
Just put that file, as is, on that root of your sd card...boot into the bootloader (not recovery) and follow the on screen prompts to update from that file

Need Help!!

Hey
I apologize if a thread like this has appeared before, but i have just about had it with playing about with my desire after i tryed to flash a new ROM, il try and explain is as best detail as i can, and hopefully, one of you will be able to help me get back to normal, as im tearing my hair out over this now...
So...Last night, i noticed that LeeDroid (The custom rom i use) had updated his firmware to 3.0, and in the interest of keeping my phone upto date, i went ahead, downloaded the rom, put it on my SD, did a nandroid backup, wiped and flashed as i would normally
the install seemed to go fine, but when i rebooted the phone, it hung on the HTC screen for about 15-20 mins, so i figured the flash hadnt worked, so i went back, wiped again and restored my backup
this is where the issues begin, the bacup restores fine, BUT, when the phone reboots and loads up, ALL of my apps etc have gone, no longer apparently anywhere on my SD card (which is where most of them were stored) I now had a bare bones android, with no apps (not even market, as that was updated manually too)
at this point, i start to panic, i have seemingly lost everything off the phone (apart from the SD backup i had performed before), and only have a bare bones version of the LeeDroid rom i was using before, with no apps what so ever
so, i thought, i might as well start afresh, so i boot back into recovery, wipe again and re-flash a fresh Leedroid rom, which seemingly again, goes fine, but again, hung on boot
getting more worried still, my SD-EXT then stops mounting, giving me an error, so i re-partition it, format it, and try again, and again, it still hangs on boot
at this point, i realize im screwed, and just restore the bare bones backup i had saved on my computer (nandroid), which at least allows the phone to boot and be semi-usable
i have no idea what im doing wrong here, nothing wants to flash anymore, it just hangs, and i cant even seem to un-root the phone, all the RUU's i use just give me a "CUSTOMER ID ERROR" which i have no idea how to fix
can anyone PLEASE point me in the right direction, im panicing here, i cant seem to get anything to work, and i have been going around in circles for almost 7 hours now...
thanks very much

Looks like you'll need to start from sguare 1 again. Seems like the SD issue, might have corrupted the SD card.
My suggestion, is that you format the sd card (backup all files to the pc)
Create a new gold card again.
Flash to stock again if need be, then root.
You can download googleapps and flash it also. There are some downloadable links in this site you can save to your sd card. Or you can download it at cyanogenmod.com (where I downloaded mine I believe).

i thought going back to square one would be the way forward too, except that i cant seem to find an RUU that will work, as i mentioned, all of the ones i have tryed give me the CUSTOMER ID error, which i have no idea what to do with...
so, im a little stumped..

Your Gold Card is good? Better re-do it again. Because if your partitions blew away on your SD card, it probably cooked all of it.
You shouldn't have any problems finding a stock froyo ROM.

i have a stock froyo RUU, should i apply the goldcard, then try the update again then?
im new to this, so im probably going to need taking through all this
edit: so i made my SD into a goldcard. and now it wont mount on the phone, and when i run the RUU, it still gives me the CID error..
im going insane here, someone help >.<

ok, i got it
after doing some reasearch, i found that alot of people were saying that the phone needed to be S-OFF to flash it correctly
so, after reading up, and S-OFFing, i wiped, partitioned and flashed...
and, finally, after 9 hours of tinkering, errors etc, it has flashed and booted
this can be locked now, thanks

partitioned th sd card,
works sometimes, but glad we could somewhat lead you in the right direction, by proxy........
Little puzzeled by the s-off, but hey, it's fixed!!!

[q] help please partition sd card everythings gone!

ok so first off im running clockworkMod Recovery v2.6.0.1 i was trying to flash a new rom VR kingdom A01(the new htc evo 3d look) the rom so big it call for partition of the sd card to allow apps to download from the market. i partition my card and how ever i did or what ever i did i lost everything theres noithing on my card i cant even boot up stock if i try it gets stuck on a black screen that says android in blue writting help is my phone bricked?????

So first of all, yes, I'm afraid you did lose everything on your card. Repartitioning the card will wipe all data from the card. You needed to back it up first.
However, that shouldn't be causing your phone not to boot. Try some or all of the following:
- Booting with the SD card removed
- Wiping data
- Reflashing the ROM

Someone doesn't read... any way that is normal to loose everything but I don't think ur bricked. Just dl from a PC and place on the SD and flash. But unless u backed up ur SD u DID loose everything and will have to start from scratch.
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!

thank u i did what u said i believe it was a problem with the rom and on top of me clearing my sd card. flashed a differnit rom and all is good thanks again!

How long did you let it sit at that screen? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? Try just letting it sit there for a while...and I mean a long while. Like, after you flash and hit reboot, go take a poop or make a sammich (no euphamism intended). If, after a good long, while (say, 20-30 minutes) you still have not booted, then do a batt pull. Also, keep in mind that that rom will reboot twice before booting completely. This is normal.

im running A01 and not having to problem there is still need alot of work but over all its works ok... the gfx fix made the rom alot better.

now when i upgraded to a02.. i could take it had to switch back to a01.

[Q] MY SD CARD WONT MOUNT after data2ext installation!!!

Ok i posted this in q&a forums but imma put this on here too. ok so i wanted to install data2ext after having to re flash CM7 on my phone. so after i installed it at first it was working fine, but when i rebooted my phone, and tried to play music, install apps to my SD, etc, my phone wouldnt let me, i tried goin to storage, and my phone didnt show up! i tried hitting the format button on that page and that didnt work either, i have googled like a mad man for the last 3 days and nothing has worked
! please tell me someone has the answer to my horrible problem, i have a lot of vital things on there that i could never get back so pleaseeee!!!!! help me!

I know this isn't an answer (and it looked like you were getting some help in another thread), but rule #1 when doing anything with an sd card: Back it up first!

Have you tried removing the sd card and putting it into a card reader to see if that gives access to it?

Did you ever figure out a work around this, ogimnella? I've come into a similar problem.

@mojoffdawal no, unfortunately (and fortunately) i had to use a backup memory card, it is another data2ext guide that works (cuz i installed it on the backup) i will edit the guide soon as my pc fixes!

[Q] i need help ASAP!!

ok i rooted my bros evo with revolutionary...i flashed superuser and amon recovery...so when i flashed synergy RSL1 i had a bunch of forclosures appear at the home screen to the point where i could not do anything but force forclose and it would jus keep re appearing so i went back to recovery n wiped everything and not im stuck at the bootloader n my dumbass forgot to back up the previous rom so now idk what to do...i need some help

Reflashed the rom and always do a nandroid backup when you change roms . Just in case something happens and you can go back to. Also to stop the foreclosures you can flash a kernal sometimes that evens out all the bugs and helps the battery life. But I had a lot of problems with that rom so I switched.

You don't know until you try. And if it doesn't work you can turn off the phone and take out your sd card put it into a sd adapter and put another rom on it again. I think it downloaded properly because you wouldn't be able to use your phone if the whole rom wasn't downloaded right.

No problem ...Yea sometimes you just have to reflash the rom a few times to get the bugs out.

Since you have Amon Ra, boot to recovery, click on USB Toggle, and your phone will connect to your computer so you transfer files back and forth.
Just wipe everything and flash a different ROM. Try MikG
