[Q] Directory not empty - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To start off, Hi!
I have rooted my slide using eugene's method, and then i put the cm6 rom on my phone.
i saw where u could change the fonts on ur phone and then i tried it but i couldnt do it, i tried easy font installer and i also tried type fresh. nothing worked, on type fresh, it said error remounting and then i finally got it to stop saying that, and then it would reboot my phone but no fonts would be installed still.
Easy font installer said directory not empty. i tried installing busybox and using the command and run method, and still nothing.(it also said directory not empty) can someone please help me because i really wanna customize my phone and truly make my MYtouch mine.
before that i had a regular mytouch witht eh 1.35.531.1, and then i rooted it and everything, and then i did something to it, and then it rebooted up when i turned it on and it was back to my old mytouch boot up and it was at 1.18.531.1 and then i put the cm6 back on it, and i applied the correct radio and everything after i couldnt get any sound and any app with sound would just reboot my phone.
im saying all of this so i could be helped more efficiently so u guys can know what i did and how i got to this point.

Wow... I'm stuck

So I've googled around for the answers, but I still haven't found anything yet.
So, here it goes.
Recently, without me making any major changes to my MyTouch3G Slide, it turned off, then turned back on and wouldn't move forward from the white T-Mobile Mytouch 3G Slide boot screen.
I was rooted using the latest SlideMeRoot image. I've booted into the bootloader and tried restoring a "clean" image, but no luck there. I can't boot into recovery.
I also tried trying to find some spot where I could use ADB to see what's going on, but I knew that was a long shot to begin with :/
Any help guys?
Probably should start off with more details on what exactly you have done to your phone firstly .... Overclocked kernel? Firerat patch? etc?
What was the last thing you did to the phone before it rebooted or attempted to.
Nextly your leaving yourself wide open asking a question or even stating your problem in the developer section.. Shoulda asked it in the Q&A section...
I would simply try putting the phone back to stock/unrooted status using the stock ESPRIMG thread floating around here somewhere...
Did not overclock kernel, nor apply the firerat patch.
The last thing I did on it... was move a video onto the SD card.
Yeah, I thought I put it in the Q&A forum, but I guess not. Forgive me, I'm working on about an hour of sleep.
If any Mods see this, feel free to move it.
I've tried applying three different ESPRIMG.zips (they all had different file sizes) and all of them have the exact same problem. To unroot, I think I need to push some stuff to the phone, which I can't do right now. Any more suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Wonder if that video corrupted your sdcard..
Did you have a2sd setup?
[UNROOT] (ROM) Factory Rom..Champion build Used for Unrooting If you need to at any Point!! - eugene_373 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713507
SD card is fine, threw it in my old G1 and it took without a hitch.
Yeah, I had A2SD setup.
I can't do that unroot method, can't access adb.
Unless you can somehow get to it from fastboot?
Dunno...
Anything else?
Do you have amon RA recovery or clockwork? Try the one you don't have and see if that one works

Try putting the ESPRIMG onto the SD via the G1 when it is connected?
Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.
acejoker: can't access recovery either way. to get to recovery, you gotta go through the splash screen, which still isn't working
fermunkey: did that. That's how I got I was able to try three different recovery images. None of them worked.
rolfd: hehe, thanks.
Anyone got some last resort ideas?

I don't know how to get into phone w/ no recovery

I flashed the Jager rom. I was trying to flash a themed status bar. I go into recovery and get a blue tinted screen.
Ok so in the midst of this I realize there was a note that came w/ Jager saying to remove the PB3 zip which I didn't. Needless to say now I can't get into my recovery, I tried to clear the storage from the bootloader, no luck and I really don't know what I thought that would do.
I can't access anything to push a stock rom just to wipe my phone and go back to stock cause I can't access anything. Thoughts? Did I really just brick my phone?
*just a note on when I start it up I get the boot animation then it just loops on the Jager theme*
I just need to know how to get into my phone without actually getting into my phone(I'm not able). I need to put the RUU file on my sd card someway but since I can't get in I'm lost
I took the easy way out. I downloaded the 2.2 stock to my laptop, then took my sd card out my Incredible put it in my Evo copied 2.2 to it. I transferred that back to the Incredible went into bootloader and ran the update.
This is for anybody that can't get into their phone(assuming you have an extra phone on hand), and doesn't have a recovery for whatever reason. Don't waste your time combing threads, waiting for a reply or messing w/ pushing commands etc.

Help please

Epic 4G
Rooted my phone last night, everything went well. All I was going to do was make my phone compatible with netflix, so I edited my build.prop to do that. All that process did was make my Swype keyboard stop working.
The first time, I used ES File Manager to copy build.prop out of the system folder, pasted to SD card, edited it, cut it from SD card and I put it back in system, overwriting the build.prop that was in there. No problems. When I attempted to do that again, I got the error "build.prop cannot be moved!" I did the exact same process, only now it wasn't letting me do it.
So I was googling ways to restore build.prop, and someone said to flash a different rom. I attempted to flash Syndicate ROM. I followed all the instructions just as there were at Samsung Epic Hacks.com, and now my phone is frozen at the first screen that happens on boot "Samsung/ww w.samsungmobile.com"
I also attempted to reflash the Froyo update from Sprint, that had no results.

Best to Odin back to stock and work back from there. BTW Netflix isn't working on our phone yet. Editing the build.prop will only let you download the app from the market but it still only plays a few seconds and craps out. Odin instructions are here:

Just thinking out loud here, but did you check the permissions after pasting the file? It's better to just edit the file IMHO

[Q] should i risk another rom?

Hi all, iv only been flashing for a week (lol never thought id say that), anyway i thought id have a go at mildwild. I downloaded the file with my phone and then went into bootloader and flash cm7r2 and went back into recovery to wipe factory, cache, dalvik.
but when i went to install mildwild it wasnt there, i went into every folder but nothing so i went back into bootloader flashed stock hboot and back to recovery. 4ext said to wipe system caus its in safe mode so i did.......45 minutes later it hadnt passed the first part so i felt i had to battery pull.
Ithen went to restore my backup but again this never passed the first stage so i had to do another battery pull.
Luckily i had the zip folder from when i first downloaded it and that worked. Do you think im safe to try another rom or am i heading for a brick?
i have a new sd card ordered because i think its borked the phone doesn't recognise it sometimes, could this be my problem?
I have to say its really addictive and exciting trying different roms but at the same time its also very scary!!!!
Once you start you can't stop. It's glorious.

Oooh,when i sent a new zip file from PC use 4EXT Mass storage to instead an old one, it seemed to never be rereaded, and when i flash it, i showed it was the old one.
OK so i didnt really get a reply i was hoping for so being a little impatient i decided to have another go.
I couldnt open the mildwild for some reason, i think it was because the file had a (2) at the end, i must have downloaded this before.
Could this be the reason 4ext said it was a bad file?
On the up side all the problems i had before are gone, everything restored perfectly. It seems to be when i change a hboot things seem to go a little weird.
------------------------------------------EDIT------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- changed it back to what it was originally called and it still says 'error installing (bad)'

I have already written about problems with hboot. I recommend formatting all partitions (except sd card) from 4ext recovery before hboot change, and so after the change. Problem with file that's not opening is probably because the file is corrupted, so try to download it again.
Ok thanks for the reply. I will try it

[Q] Help! Messed up Rom!

Okay so I'm kind of freaking out but not really because I'm sure I can get a good answer fairly soon. I was on the Whompasaurus Rom and had the beats audio installer app and opened the app. I was coming from stock lk8 which had the beats so it showed up as that i had it installed when in fact it didn't. I had the acid mod that came with the whompasuarus rom. Anyways, as many of us do when our fingers are near are root app, they started getting root happy and decided to click the uninstall beats audio button when i had no beats on it. So, my phone immediately rebooted and then showed up on the homescreen for a few seconds before continuing to reboot. So at this point the phone cannnot be accessed. Now, I have all my backups safely on my computer that can be transferred via usb. However...I CANNOT MOUNT MY PHONE ONTO THE COMPUTER SINCE I HAVE NO AVAILABLE ROM. I have custom recovery and everything but I'm kind of scared I might have messed up my phone since this has never happened. Hopefully someone can enlighten me on a way to simply mount my phone so I can put my rom onto the phone and install it. Thanks to anyone who can answer my question regarding what to do now. I have tried mounting my phone via recovery and it's not showing up as an accessible data that can be altered.

I also have the galaxy note 2 toolkit if that helps
Happened to me.
Put the ROM or any file you want or need on a Micro SD card from your PC.
Place card into phone
Recovery will find it with guidance from you.
*If you switched your internal / external memory, pull the battery first to avoid errors.
Have you tried putting it into download mode, then reinstalling stock firmware? When I got stuck in boot loop it helped. Then you could re-root, go into twrp, reinstall backups.

Before I went to bed last night it hit me that I could use the extension sd to put on the rom.
I got one of my family's phones, transferred the rom onto his extension sd card and then put his sd onto my phone. It worked fine. Xda was down earlier so I couldn't view any responses but now that Google finished installing all my apps I see someone had the same sort of idea I did. I was actually looking for the micro sd adapter and couldn't find it so I pursued the above action.
Although...I did kind of get nervous because at the very beginning when I was re setting up the rom it said system ui has stopped unexpectedly. I have expected to see the rom restart but it didn't. I had weird force closes of apps I never heard of that made my phone restart so you can guess what I was probably thinking. Anyways thanks for the quick responses.
