HELP Pls

i attempted to root my phone thats running froyo using the How-To [Root] The myTouch 3GS if you updated to Offical 2.2.1 and lost root method....needless to say it didnt work for me and was in a bootloop (Hboot said the bootloader was bypassed when trying to update) so what i did afterwards was batt pull and did a hard reset-clear storage and everything went back to normal so i hooked my phone to pc and attempted to try the process again but not the pc doesn't reconize the phone using usb and when i unplug the phone from usb it ALWAYS reboots... also the phone is not reading my sd card(sd card is fine i put it in my card reader and all files are still on there) any help?

as a side note to all who jus peeked at the thread.....when i connect the the phone to pc via usb i only have the sync and charge option...crazy thing is it still works running 2.1update jus no access to sd..so at least its not bricked right????

As a starting point I would suggest you save all the important files from your sd card onto your pc and then reformat the card on the phone(if it allows it) or using sd formatter or other software on your pc.

tried that already its like the phone is not reading the card or pc i used an adaptor to format the card in FAT32 and had the same issue.. but the phone still works fine...any other ideas?

You can try going into recovery using Droid explorer (pc software) and see if you might be able to mount the sd card that way.
In addition, you might need to reinstall the drivers for your phone on the computer, if I'm not mistaken installing HTC sync on your computer should take care of the drivers for you.

[Q] Unroot without SD card?

Hey guys....first off, you guys all do great work as this is the first question I've needed to ask that I couldn't find the answers for....so my problem is I've been rooted for the last 5 months and I was making a NANDROID back up in recovery, went to reboot the phone and got the dreaded 5-vibrate, green LED error. I've searched all over and see that there really is no fix for that. My replacement is already here and I'm sending the old one back tomorrow. Problem is, the phone can't access the SD card so I can't put S-On......in hboot the phone does say S-on but I can boot it up if its plugged in through USB (and of course OMFGB boots up).
I've looked through these forums and found some similar results for unrooting without an SD card, but nothing seems to work. My laptop doesn't detect internal storage or SD card.......so do I just have to hope the factory doesn't get the phone to boot (if they dont try with it plugged in it won't)? Or is there some way you could download a file from the phone browser that could be applied??
Thanks in advance

To get s-on you could try using z4root. It has an unroot option

Can you not download the windows installer of the stock ROM? The RUU can be found here and just hook your phone up via USB cable and load it up
I don't think you need an SD card for that.
Worth a shot

Well the problem was my computer wouldn't recognize the phone either, would just say something like "qualcomm device" then would error out after a few seconds. Once my replacement got here I put the stock ROM on the SD card and tried again with the defective phone and, miraculously, it unrooted........thanks for your advice!

[Q] is it shot?

my friend was completly mindless. he used kernal manger to flash the cyanogenmod kernal to his phone. the phone is s-on and nothing works except the phone itself, it does not power properly it needs battery pull and plug ins to get it to start or it just vibrates 5x then freezes. it also does not recognize the sd OR pc, i cant get to it on the pc with correct drivers...its like its not there.
so i went to fix it for him and could not ruu due to the not seeing the device, and couldnt flash anything off the sd due to the sd being not recognized. he told me he had a failed unrevoked session and it put superuser on and cwm on. i CAN get to the hboot screen and when i go into recovery i get into cwm but nothing at all works...
i never saw a brick like this. i would like to call it a live brick dead lol
is it dead?

SD card not working? Do you have a card reader or another phone to put it in and format with? See if it is even recognized by anything else other than the phone.
I'm not sure but isn't an SD card necessary for CWM recovery to work?

if they want the phone to work, yeah.

sd works anywhere else. sd is not recognized by phone. nothing happens when its pushed in and using astro shows nothing there. cwm just opens but is completly non-functional

insane, but try to root it if its stable? anyone else here? i cant really think of another way....

has to be the craziest thing i seen

Can you not use a card reader to put the RUU on and flash it in hboot? I guess not if its S-ON, what error is it giving in unrevoked? If it flashed an alternate recovery then it has to be rooted..

Try some of the solutions above and let us know. Re-rooting or putting the RUU found here http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108 on the SD card

My thoughts are the only fix i can see working would be to flash the RUU in hboot not cwm and then root it properly. That should work provided you can get it to read the sd card in hboot
SD card must be fat 32
the ruu you download must be named "PB31IMG.zip" the case is important it must be in all uppercase
and what you will do is put it on the sdcard using a card reader and your pc then put it in the phone then go into hboot it should read the card find the image and ask you if you wish to flash this. You should if it goes well have a stock phone... You can then run unrevoked again to root it this time...

can not access the sd card at all... sd card works fine in my computer... not mountable... can't figure it out...

So are you or are you not able to boot in to recovery? Kinda confused. You said that you tried but no luck but then you rebooted and did a clear storage. So were you able to boot in to recovery the second time? If you can, do a full wipe and try flashing a different rom. You can download one to your PC, boot in to recovery, enable the usb drive, push the file to your phone and flash.

Ummm sorry for the confusion .... I'm talking about I held the volume down and power button to get to the screen I believe it's "bootloader" and tried to select recovery so maybe I can do a backup to wen it previously worked but no luck cause the phone wasnt reading the sd card with the backup on it! So I went back to the "bootloader" and did a "clear storage" it worked but the phone took forever to come on.... I did that about 2 times when the phone wouldnt boot pass the htc screen but now it no lingers works doing that! And to answer you guys question no I'm not able to boot in recovery just to bootloader with the options
Fast boot
Recovery
Clear storage
Reboot
USB hboot
If you guys are still confused let me know I will explain further more the phone will not access recovery at All!

As asked... what recovery did you load? Amon_RA or CWM? Also, what HW version do you have?

O I'm very sorry.... CMW
Hw info:
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version 2.15.00.0808
Kernel version: [email protected] #1 Sat apr 30 04:36:42 edt 2011
Build number: MIUIAndroid 7.29
And to answer your previous question I don't know how to install a new recovery thru hboot .... I hope this helps you

If you can get to your sd card via a card reader to load a new recovery, then follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026. Otherwise, try this first to see if you can at least get sd access again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243

Ok will try how do I get a card reader?

If you are on a laptop, most recent ones will have a slot for it and may even have the dock/reader to place it in. You can also get an external one that connects via USB at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack. Basically anywhere that sells SD cards. Usually around the camera section. You can also check tigerdirect.com or newegg.com if you can wait to receive it via mail. They usually have bargains that you can take advantage of. If this is your primary phone, then go to a store to get one so you can get your phone working.

Or if you can't get your hands on a card reader, you could stick your card in a different phone (old phone, friends phone, neighbors phone, phone at sprint store, whatever). Then download amonRa recovery from xda (download the PC36IMG version of it). Move it to the root of SD card (i.e. NOT in any folder) using some sort of file explorer on the borrowed phone.
Then put card back into your Evo, boot into bootloader (using power and volume down method you used earlier).
Bootloader should scan your card, find the PC36IMG, and ask if you want to do the update.
Hope this helps.

Ok thank you I'm going to do it in the morning will this still work for me even thou my phone won't read my sd card??

Your hboot/bootloader should still read your SD card fine. Unique problem, but should read fine. You remember which hboot version you have?
sent from AOKP heaven

No but I'll find out of you tell me how to

Well, not really necessary to know, unless you're trying to use some fastboot commands. But, you said you CAN still get into bootloader by holding volume and pressing power, right? Once in bootloader, it will say your hboot info in upper left corner.
In any case, follow the above info about getting recovery as a PC36IMG onto your SD somehow, and boot into bootloader. Good luck. Report back.

Cant access phone storage by PC

Recently flashed ICS & JB remix 3.0 and didnt work, so today i downloaded a brand new rom (aokp) and went to go put it on my SD card (fortuanley phone still booted to home screen) but i couldn't access the SD card when my cable from arc - pc was connected.
any other way to access storage i need to flash a brand new rom to atleast try to get my phone working
Thanks, MrModMan

Hi MrModMan,
Try open the phone, take out the sd card, and put it in the computer directly
(sometimes the obvious answer is the best one )

How could i not think of that? thank you man.

Also, mount in recovery might have worked.
