Bricked wile turning ext 2 -> 3 HELP!

Hi, my phone got bricked using GPart live to turn my ext 2 into a 3 partition. Everything went fine using the program, turned off Usb storage, went into market and tried to download a program, when it started to install the screen when black.
Now I cant boot with sdcard in, I don't come past the white HTC screen
Without SDcard it starts loading the system but the loading is a never ending loop.
Tried to format SD with fakeflash, dosent help
Tried reflashing my rom with wipe and everything, dosent help
Any ideas?

yes that would be why
lol
you should have thought about it.
only thing I can think of is trying to flash a official HTC RUU update so you will get back to stock and will have to re-root.
If you have wiped everything and re-flashed then I dont know what else to suggest.

Yeah, I guess that its my best chance. Do you know which files that has to be on the SD for fake-flash and where I can find them?

just need the update.zip on the root of the card.

Have u tryed using AM recovery?
If u load it like the clockwork recovery u can partiotion your sd-card in recovery mode,
works every time for me ;-)
http://www.multiupload.com/61STV8CPHL <-- fake flash version just like clockwork but whit partitioning options.

Yes that could work, if the ROM you have flashed requires a ext partition, it will boot loop if you dont have a SD card in. So use clockwork to re-partition the card with a ext.

Im on DeFrost right now, does it require ext? I have to find a micro sd reader then I get right on partitioning.
Edit: I've been thinking if this don't work. Is it possible for someone to make an image of their full rom so that I can try and flash that? Because what I've understood the ones that are up for downloading e.g. DeFrost are not 100% complete.
Maybe some developer know's what could cause a boot loop so I (with some help) could make a flash containing just those files.

u can also try booting recovery, mount SD-USB..
remove update.zip from your root sd.
Place the file i posted above in your root (rename to update.zip ofc's)
Restart phone and enter recovery again (now u get a new recovery) go to partition menu and repartition your SD.

I loooove this forum! Thanks for all the help people, reformat the sd solved my problem. Thanks a thousand times!

Boot Loop - Help

I was trying to unlock a friends evo with the v1.47 OTA - not Froyo. I used the simple root 1 click method. Everything seemed to work fine but when I tried to flash a new rom it is stuck a the boot screen. I can get to the recovery but I do not have a nand backup or the pc36img.zip on the sd card. Any suggestions?
Is there a way I can get my computer to recognize the phone and push the pc36img.zip file?

Did you wipe everything before flashing? That's a big cause to bootloop issues. Try doing a full wipe and then flash again.

I did wipe using clockworkmod, but will try again and let you know.

To PM me and please help me with my Defy mess.... PLEASE

I'm assuming you are referring to being stuck in your bootloop now? Once I get home I'll write you an entire guide on how to unfubar it.

Lol post it too... I would like to know how to combat bootloop aswell...

The fastest way, assuming that you have an external SD card reader and can put this file on your SD from your computer is the following:
Download This : TMobile Update Thanks to BeachHead for modifying it.
Once downloaded rename it to Update.zip.
Place in root of SDCard.
Hold the volume down button and turn the phone on. Press in the corner to get into the recovery mode. On the options select the update.zip. Let the process begin. The file is modified to not check for things. This will reload all of the firmware as well as the system. After that is done, do a factory reset. Your phone should now boot to 2.2 . If this does not work let me know and I'll do the more involved guide.

Argh - HELP

I flashed the SBF 2.2 BOOT and it booted to the T-Mo screen which is where it is currently stuck. I'll give it a few minutes.

I got where you are at now. Download this SBF and flash it. http://www.multiupload.com/ZZ4TU8W7UQ
Its is the earlier leaked TMobile build. Once you have flashed this root your phone and install clockwork. Let me know when all of that is done. I should be done with dinner by then and can help the rest of the way. You will need the zip file I posted earlier as well as the 2.2 nandroid backup. Leave the Update.zip in the root of your sdcard, and put the nandroid backup in the apkrev folder on the sdcard. Once those are in place, boot into clockworkmod. Wipe system and cache. Then do a restore of the 2.2 Nandroid. Do not reboot yet. Now apply the update.zip. Do not reboot yet. Now do another system wipe. Now reboot the phone. You should be all set to go.

Dude it was actually fine. It loaded up and worked perfectly, I have FroYo and you are the man! Now I have a camera problem.

I would try a reset to fix it. Many have had camera issues and that seems to be the fix.

Nothing.... What were the camera issues others had? I just get black, no matter what.

YES!!!!!!!!!!

You have to boot the right firmware. I realized that last night. You need to get that update.zip file to run and bring the proper firmware inline with the system image. I was screwing around last night playing with the different combos, and discovered that it wasn't mapping resources right. I lost use of my SD card.

Did you see my post about firmwares......the 2.2SBF is slightly older than the new rom. I suspect mappings have changed...update and see if that fixes it.

Ahhh yes that sounds like a legit fix... So he should just go into stock recovery and do the update.zip? well beach-head's update.zip

Yup. See earlier post. LOL

That update.zip from Beach never worked for me and still doesn't.... I don't understand. I still get verification failed.

Need help fixing soft brick!

I'm having some major trouble with my Evo. I tried flashing from Classic v005 finale to v006 and I wiped everything 3 times. Now, I'm stuck in hboot and my recovery won't start. i have a PC36IMG file (TWRP 2) in my sdcard and says it updates but it really isn't. When I try to restart the phone, I get pushed back into fastboot. What can I do to fix my phone?

Twrp2 may have perm bricked your phone its done it to quite a few ppl hope you have ins cuz you'll need to flash a stock ruu thru hboot and send it in for replacement

ok. how do i push an ruu if i can't boot?

You'll have to put it on root of SD as a pc36img and boot to hboot/bootloader and run the update it should put your hboot back to a stock version so u can return it twrp2 had issues for several ppl and bricked their phones
Edit: does your hboot mysteriously say s-on now?

No, it doesn't. I might be screwed though because the only thing my computer sees when I plug in is the bootloader interface. Won't pick up the sdcard

try flashing a RUU for your phone and then Amon Ra recovery

Sounds like twrp2 borked it some ppl had s-on after but the not reading the phone on USB is a pretty sure sign twrp2 bricked it it was causing problems with bad blocks or something during the flash not sure what exactly it did to the phones but they were unrecoverable afterwards it screwed something up that wouldn't allow it to rewrite to the internal memory or be recognized by fastboot commands or adb

I've never used an RUU, but I believe it's an .exe file. I think you can run it from your PC while plugged into fastboot......from what I've seen posted over the years.
Until someone more knowledgeable gets back to you. Or if you have a SD card reader, do pc36img method, as was mentioned.

Try downloading shipped rom zip file. Load it on your root. Use a card reader if phone won't connect to PC. If it works you should still be s off. Just flash you custom rom back over it after you reflash a new recovery. I use amon.3.11.
See if that will work.
Shipped zip will over write recovery and should fix your problem.

ok I ran an ruu.exe so it's bootable now but I'm still getting random reboots and I can't mount my sdcard. any ideas?

It's broke. Call sprint they'll replace it with or without insurance. If your s-on running stock they won't know that you're rooted. Also sometimes stores will replace it as well. Be prepared to possibly get a upgrade for the phone.

Did you flash a new recovery?
If so, wipe everything.
Try mounting via recovery.
Does it mount SD there?
You may try to partition your card again and see if that helps.
Did you already wipe and try custom rom again?

It will still be s off even after running ruu I think.
To get s on you will need to flash s on before you take it back.
I would try to partition SD or wipe and flash new rom after amon recovery.

When I run the Factory Resets in Amon RA, it skips over everything on the sd card, saying, "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1". The phone seems fried to me. Luckily, I have the insurance. lol, "oops I dropped it in the sink"

That sux twrp2 was a pretty neat looking recovery I'm glad I read about it after I installed it and had several failed backup attempts cuz I don't have ins so luckily I didn't attempt to proceed with flashing anything or I'd be in the same boat as you up the same creek only I wouldn't have a paddle lol

When will people check the TWRP thread and realize its a bad product ? Great idea, bad product.
Edit: I mean even after installing twrp, when will they check back to see it's hosed, before they get hosed?. This isn't a comment about you, OP. Just meant, too bad there's not a way to let all users of it know to change recoveries IMMEDIATELY.
sent from xda app on drews ics

After the backup failed twice I figured something was wrong since I had already backed up the same setup in amon ra just fine

If you ran the RUU, then either your SD Card is bad, or you're back to stock, so just take it to Sprint

I need a stock rom

So I was able to lean how to root my phone. The I decided I would load a custom rom that I got from one of the rom tools that was suggested here. I loaded it, it got stuck on the loading screen. So I tired to use philz to do a recover and it says there is nothing to recover. every stock rom I get on this form will not load. the only option I have is to load the zip file to my sd card and then try to load it from the sd card. so now what? right now im completely out of a phone

i was quite tired last night and wanted to put more info in the post here on what i did. So this custome Rom I cant remeber the name of it but it had to do with the little android dressed up as a viking, i got as a recommentdation from the applicatio cybermoid or something to that nature. So when it attempted to load the rom it when to the boot up screen and just sat there, So i figure I would do one of the clock work mods recoverys that I had on my sd card and it failed to load. So at one point Philz asked me if i wanted to wipe the current rom and replace it with a new one. So i said yes figring that I could load the stock rom and it said that loaded. So last night I stayed up and tried to load 3 different roms and they all failed to load. Im wondering an this point if there is anything that can be loaded. I do remeber at one point it came up with a screen that said oden mode and said voided warrenty. i dont have a warrenty so i disregarded that. I will try the rom that you have suggesst tonight, I really hope that I can get some type of ROM on there. Beacase right now it just goes to the galaxy note 2 screen and sticks there.
Is there a manual key sequence or command line that can be run for my skipsoft tool kit that i used to root it to automatically turn on the us debugging? Also remember seeing a message that states that the root was removed. I think in in a hot pile of dog poop and this point, Any other suggestion if that rom doesnt load???
Thanks

Ok so drop the ROM on the SD card, obviously plug it in go to recovery mode via the volume up/home/power key then selected it SD card and it sould load automatically. This is going to sound stupid but the ROM has to be zipped on the SD and not unzipped correct? If I get a error meaage I will post it here. I will probley be doing this around 5 pm or 6 as I am at work at the moment.
Sorry to be such a newbie..lol rooting it was easy if and when I get back into it I will put the full name of the ROM that blew it up because I dont want to have anyone else to go through this.

Wipe everything but the sd1 and the modem
Flash the rom
And let it boot
And let me know what happens

did all that and it is just sitting on the Samsung galaxy note screen

so for this one http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip it loaded it and then got suck on the main galaxy note 2 screen.
For http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...lteatt.zip.md5 it failed. Re Ran ]http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip and worked but before I rebooted it it states at the top that the root is missing or broke. rebooted and still the same stuck on the samsung screen

Ok im goig to go with im screwed on this one as Ive been all over this form looking looking at how to fix this phone. the only thing I can get into is the philz and do a data reset/ wipe the dalvik cache and load the philz touch recovery then when I try to install any zips beyond that it fails so at this point I have no idea where I am going and if I am doing it properly. when trying to install the ODEN-UCUCNE 5 stock-no recovey zip it finds it, opens it and then fails.
so im pretty lost at this point either im not doing it right or the phone is bricked.. any other suggestion? I looks like im going to be buying a new phone

No do everything on the phone don't use Odin so in the recovery go to mounts and storage and
wipe the system, data, preload, cashe, boot, and sd card but not the sd1 (external sd) and reboot the recovery in power options and hit reboot recovery and hit no when it says something about supersu root process then when it reboots just hit install zip and find the rom you downloaded

ok so
1)factory data reset
2)wipe cache partition
3) go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache
4) then I went to the sd card and installed the zip you gave me, it says install from the sd completed press any key to continue
5) when to power options and hit reboot to recovery
then it asks me if I want to restore the recovery settings from the card or no - I said yes
then it asks me if I want to apply the root from /system/xbix/su- I said no
it rebooted back to philz touch
now what??? I assume install rom zip..
what is the correct ROM download that I should use... ive downloaded so many if you can point me to the right link that would be steller
