and I tought everything went soomthly but after I rebooted the device first it was like the miui logo on the screen and nothing happened and then I tried to reboot it then my pc did not recognize the phone when I connected it to the pc and then I took the battery off and now when start the damn phone the triangle picture comes and then just black screen nothing happens. I did make a full recovery with the rom manager before and now my question is did I just kill the phone or can I do something?
Pls help me.

There's tons of threads about your problem.
Put it in download mode and install a stock ROM using Odin. That should get you going again.

You should have CWM, so turn phone off, press volup+home+power, goto Mounts&Storage, Mount USB Storage, and connect phone to PC. Copy over whatever ROM you want, then in CWM menu clear data/factory reset, clear cache, goto advanced, clear dalvik cache, goto install zip from sdcard, choose the zip ROM file, and install it. Reboot, and you should be fine.

thank you so much guys, it helped. It is working now. I will not panic like this one next time. Once again thank you very much

Good sir, I'm also new with this rooting and flashing stuff on Android. Would this method always guarantee that the phone firmware will be fixed under any circumstances? (aside from physical damage, of course)

Let me get this straight, so basically what you are saying is:
- Wipe all the ROM data from the phone
- Install a new ROM, since all the previous corrupt ROM data is cleared
But why clear cache and then clear dalvik cache? Just curious with the difference. (Yes, I haven't rooted mine yet, because I'm still learning slowly before plunging)
Oh also, since you mentioned that we should "clear data/factory reset", doesn't that mean the phone is back to the original stock ROM already, which means we have to root it again...?

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen

Hey, My phone was working fine till yesterday. N when i tried to flash dk froyo .i had to change the kernel and i guess the bootscreen(htc logo) freezed because of that. I tried flashing hcdr and other kernels and even changed rom back to cm 7.But nothing seems to help.Only cwm is working on my phone. CAn someone help me please

btw its a wildfire

Your best bet Is to try run a ruu as that would reset the phone back to stock, bootloader and kernal, but depending on how you s-offed you may lose the ability to root.( untill you s-off again.) Good luck
sent from my steroid powered, cyanogenmod filled wrecking machine! using xda app.

Perform a full wipe (In CWM, Select "Data Wipe / Factory Reset", then, staying in CWM, go to Mounts and Storage, Select "Format /system". After this, flash a ROM (any) and check if it boots.

Tried. Its still not working. Can any1 post a nandroid backup file of any rom for wildfire. Please. I formatted my sd card too by mistake.

and while flashing a ruu. it always shows a error E:Failure at line 65 and something. Its different everytime

Connect your Wildfire to your PC, In CWM, Go to Mounts and Storage, and Select "Mount USB Storage". This will activate Mass Storage Mode and you can access your SDCard on your PC as normal. (I don't think anyone would upload a Nandroid backup of his own, it contains personal stuff like contacts and all. But, if someone does, good for you)

i mount usb storage n then do wat..? i tried flashing every rom possible. But its still not working. Is it the kernel's problem or what??

I am pretty certain performing a full wipe (Following options in CWM - 1: Data Wipe - Factory Reset, along with 2: Wipe Cache Partition, 3: Format /cache, 4: Format /system, 5: Format /data, 6: Wipe cache partition, 7: Wipe Dalvik Cache) in CWM and flashing a fresh ROM will fix your issue, UNLESS your phone is not bricked due to bad flash, but since you already claim that you have done that, I can't help you any further on this.
EDIT - Also one more thing - When you flash the kernel / ROM, do you get a confirmation message "Installation Complete"? What is your CWM version?

Yes i do.it says installation comple and its v3.0.0.6

Sense ROM's like DK will not work on CWM versions above 2.x.x.x. Anyway, since you tried CM7 already, One last suggestion in that case would be to try flashing the RUU via the bootloader.
Steps -
1: Download the RUU you want to install
2: Extract the rom.zip from the RUU. Procedure here
3: Once you have that rom.zip, Rename it to PC49IMG.zip
4: Transfer this to the root of your SDCard (i.e. - Not in any folders / sub-folders)
5: Restart device in HBoot Mode (Press Vol Down + Power simultaneously)
6: It will scan for the file, and ask to install. Follow On-Screen instructions.

Ill give it a try.

owe you big time man..Thanx a lot..

Now I can't go any further and can't use my phone at all
I hope u guys can help me, and that I haven't F*ed up my phone

what happen if you restart the phone ?

It goes right into bootmenu.
I have however found out how tog et my phone running normal again, I had to select Boot instead of Recovery and the choose Boot Normal.
I do however still want to flash CM9 onto my device but gonna ask here until i'm 100% sure it'll work.
So if you or any1 here got the links to the correct stuff I need, that would be very helpful

may be the sd card
try a different sd card it happen some times

when you restart the phone and you see the blue light, hit the VOL - button.
here choose boot option
select Set Default - and choose [2nd -Init]
restart the phone again.
one more question : what was the last ROM you flashed ?

This was the first time I flashed a ROM (or tried to)
I think the wrong one, can't post links just yet

Ok so I tried it again, and IT WORKED
Now theres a new problem: I get no reception, not for calling, and not for 3g connection.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
At the lockscreen it says Emergency calls only.
I have tried several basebans switchers, but none with any succes.
(I live in Belgium by the way)

Do you have any APN's ?
Go to setting, wifi&networks, then check if you have and APN's in the access point names menu. If you dont you will have to look up an APN for your provider. I had this problem after flashing 2.2.1 sbf.

I tried to add one, but I can't probably because I dont have any service.
That is my main problem, I dont get service so I can't even make phonecalls and stuff

this is a base band switcher
go to recovery and install the zip
when u restar the phone your should see a baseband swhitcher program
now select the baseband in your country and restart the phone
and thats it !

I tried almost every baseband, still no luck
Can't I just go back to stock? My pc also doens't recognise my defy anymore, so I can't put anything on the SD-card

I didn,t solve the problem that you said in the first post here and in Q&A section, can you detail how you had solved?
Thanks.

What I think did the trick was:
When I installed sndInit for the first time I chose to install the upper version (0,6...).
When I installed it for a second time I chose the version below that (1,....)
Hope this helps for you.
PS: I flashed another ROM and kernel, and now I have android 4 installed with signal/reception
Thanks for helping me guys!

[Q] Having trouble flashing the radio on CM7

Hi,
I recently installed CM7 on my phone. I want to flash the radio, and I've looked over the entire forum.
It says reboot into recovery, and update from zip on sd card.
The problem I am having, is that it doesnt say this.
I reboot into recovery, get the red triangle, get passed it by pressing up and power. And then get to the menu that says
Android system recovery <2e>
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data
Wipe Cache.
I tried renaming this file: signed_Froyo_Slide_Radio.zip as update, but that doesnt work either.
Am I supposed to wipe the data and cache first?
I've also tried rebooting into recovery from clockwork and that fails as well.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a tutorial I can find that will help? The oddest thing is I thought rooting/installing cm7 would have been hard, but that turned out to be easier than what I thought would be the easiet thing of the bunch to do.
Any help will be appreciated, i have looked all over, but I'm sorry if this was answered already.

going off my bare knowledge of the MT3GS that i help my sister do..
i thought the steps was..
1)reboot into "recovery"
2)red triangle screen
3)press VOL+ and POWER to get to the "temp recovery menu"
4)Apply sdcard:update.zip
5)should boot into a CWM recovery
((i thought it was CWM recovery that was the update.zip file in your SD card..))
it is in this CWM recovery where you select to flash the zip'ed radio.
***
i could be wrong and if i am hopefully someone can correct me/ point me and the OP in the right direction to flash radio as i want to do this for my sister's MT3GS soon as well.

I just tried that. Unfortunately, all it did was install the update.zip and then ask to reboot the phone.
Thank you for your help though.

The process is very similar to what jt.one described but first you need to obtain a update.zip version of CWM recovery. You should be able to get one through Rom Manager (found on Google Play). Once in CWM you should have an option for exploring your SD Card and flashing your ZIP file of choice

Finally got it to work, so here is what I did in case anyone wants a heads up.
First thing I did was format the sd card (i have a special card for doing crap like this)
Put the espimg.zip, and the radio zip on the sd.
I went into Rom Manager on my phone, i hit <Flash Clockworkmod Recovery>
and then <Reboot into Recovery>.
It then for some odd reason, finally gave me the correct menu to install zip from sd.
This time, the process was also different. Instead of selecting things with the power button, I had to select things with the middle button. (hitting the power button just turned off the screen)
So after going through the menu's and finding the update, I installed it, which took literally seconds.
Now everything is up and running. I am by no means any type of specialist or even remotely knowledgeable other than after I get some hands on experience, but if anyone else is having problems, maybe I can try to help you, since I had such a hard time.
Thanks again to jt.one and WhoWhere for their help and support.

Error «Encryption was interrupted and cannot be complete»

Hi Guys! I have a problem, and i really don't know how can i fix it.
My phone boots normally, but when boot finish this error appear in the screen:
«Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. Phone data cannot be used anymore.
To continue using your phone, you must restore factory settings. After the restoration, you can restore data backed up in your Google Account to your phone»
There is a "Reset Phone" button but if i push it nothing happen.
I have tried to clear data/cache in recovery but nothing changed, I have tried to install a new ROM (i tried a lot of ROMS) but when it arrive to 50% more or less installation fails.
I have tried this guide oppoforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-recover-your-bricked-find-7-7a.23067/ but it cannot work (Image Attachment)
Also FASTBOOT can't work. (For exemple: if i try to flash recovery it fails remote: failed to flash recovery / erase userdata / cache)
I really don't know where can i also looking
Help me please!

Anyone?

I'm having the same problem....
Restoring an old backup woth TWRP results in the same error.....

hi guys this happened to me too,
luckily I had twrp 2.8.6.0 flashed for recovery.
think you should still be able to get into fastboot if you do a battery pull
then poweron with the powerbutton and volume up till you see the oppo man icon.
then you should be able to flash your recovery with the latest twrp.
if you seen the penquin then this may not work for you. As i have not done a hard recovery before so i dont know if it would work.
I saw the oppo man so i was able to fix it by:
booting into twrp recovery,
i selected wipe --> advanced and there was an additional option to do a wipe for encrypted volumes and i selected all partitions to be wiped
then i installed i had downloaded on my SD card, it was ColorOS 2.0.8i i believed and it fixed it.
sorry if i am a bit grey about the details i did it a while ago so.
Actually found this in the cm12.1 nighlies thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58304054&postcount=14
issue is possibly due to unified partitions
