Can't load any Roms. - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a noob when it comes to this stuff. Recently got the T-Mobile G2 and was afraid to get into rooting and custom roms for a while but ended up trying it yesterday.
I wanted to get the Virtuous Unity v1.26.0. I rooted the phone following the directions here ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Returning_to_Stock.....
Then I read that I had to put the Desire Z hboot on my G2 before I can install that rom so I went here and followed the instructions to install Desire Z hboot
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html
Everything went well, until I tried to flash the rom. Downloaded the rom, put it in the SD card and then tried to use rommanager to install. It was installing and then all of a sudden an error came up and the phone rebooted into clockworkmod recovery. Then I did a factory reset/data wipe on clockworkmod recovery. Then install zip from SD card. The rom installed and I rebooted the phone but the Rom won't boot. It was on a bootloop.
I used clockworkmod recovery to restore my stock rom. Then I tried to install the rom once again using clockworkmod recovery, again it was on a bootloop. So I tried restoring my stock rom again and this time it wasn't restoring. It said "error formatting /system". I tried formatting /system /data /cache manually and it still says the same thing.

Did you do a back up? If so restore it and try flashing it again.

yea I backed up, and tired to restore using cwm but it says error while formatting /system /data /cache.

I believe there's a Virtuous Rom channel on freenode (channel name is probably on the Virtuous homepage) those guys might be able to help you out.
Good luck!

You can try formating your phone using fastboot . (I am assuming you have adb and fastboot setup and also eng hboot) put your phone on fastboot mode connect it to your computer and type this command . "Fastboot erase system -w"
Hopefuly it will fix your problem.

OMG!! Thank you so much!! That worked. I was working on this all day yesterday and nothing helped. I even tried formatting /system and /data from fastboot manually but it didn't work. The erase system -w command worked perfectly and now clockworkmod recovery lets me restore my backups. Thank you so much again!!

Please help - 4ext recovery problem

I installed the fatsys HBOOT and rebooted the phone and went in to 4ext recovery and it told that i need to wipe my cash and to format my partitions. When i did that i got stuck the formatting system. I rebooted the phone.. did that twice and not thing happen.
Now when I boot my phone and when 4ext loads there are no menus. so I'm stuck and I can install anything. please help
Does it boot into the os? Do you have 4EXT Recovery control?

I have a same error..
I just wanted to install: Runnymede AIO V6.1.1 Special Edition beta Version with fatsys HBOOT. But after i updated my HBOOT, i cant see any menus in the 4ext system.. I cant reboot my system.. Kinda Bricked.. I also tried to install other HBOOTs, but isnt working..
what do you mean by 4EDXT recovery Control? I'm Just able to go into the Bootloader..
Recovery control is to 4EXT as rom manager is to ClockworkMod but only effective if you can boot into the os as it is an app. Does the hboot you have have fastboot command availability? If so grab a version of the recovery and fastboot flash it

What's fatsys HBOOT? And how did you install it ie nandroid backup, fastboot flash hboot, reboot-bootloader, erase and nandroid restore? That doesn't sound like good behaviour - never had anything like that changing HBOOTs (AlphaRev ones or custom using _thalamus' tool).
Can you boot into fastboot, and have you got a copy of recovery img on your PC? If yes fastboot flash recovery to phone and try going into recovery again. If not you might have to fastboot flash an AlphaRev table to sort out borked partitions - as i say i have no idea what fatsys HBOOT is or does.
Changing critical system stuff like nand partitions I'd stick with fastboot and flash known tables like AlphaRev ones after checking md5s.

INT2SD
What is INT2SD?
INT2SD doesn't use symlinks. It mounts ext partition on your SD to /data, thus eliminating the need for the mtd5 userdata partition. This makes the mtd5 userdata partition unneeded. It is used in conjunction with the fatsys HBOOT (more info later on), allowing most of the vital parts of a ROM to stay on the system partition without the need to symlink half of it to the SD due to memory shortage.
For now, there is only one ROM here, but more will come! If you wish to see INT2SD in your favorite ROM or in your own ROM, please post here!

This is what INT2SD does..
So.. I am able to Connect my SD Card to the PC.. i updated my HBOOT to Stock and CM7 r2.. I have several Backups made with EXT4 Recovery..

i have my backup in several *.img files.. how can i flash them without using EXT4?
EDIT:
I guess i shall install Android SDK... which im doing now.. but after installing it.. i need assistance
Once you have sdk set up on your pc and a copy of a recovery.img on your pc it's easy from there as long as that hboot allows you to run fastboot commands.

No not your back-up image files, when you installed 4EXT Recovery Updater and used it to flash the 4EXT recovery did you set the option for save the 4EXT Recovery .img file to your SD card? This is the img file I meant, if you have a 4EXT recovery img you fastboot flash this with phone in fastboot mode - then you should be able to get into 4Ext recovery and restore one of your nandroids.
Can't upload a recovery img file for you at the moment but sure there must be one you could download perhaps from the 4EXT thread.
Edit - Ok looks like that HBOOT may have been created using thalamus custom tool, did you check the md5 before flashing it?
If you can get into fastboot and install the SDK on PC, in Windows cmd prompt check your device is recognised by typing 'fastboot devices' first, if it returns the serial no of your phone then fastboot is working ok.

[Q] Bricked my phone, please help

Thankyou anyone for helping me.
I was trying to update my phone to the Maximus rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601543) from an AOKP JB ROM.
I succesfully followed the instructions to relock my phone, the flash the firmware, then unlock it again. Unfortunately I was foolish and didn't think to copy across the rom.zip before doing this. I tried restoring a Nandroid backup but was stuck in a bootloop. I also tried reflashing the previous AOKP Rom that I had on there. In this case it booted but I had no radio, no wifi, and importantly I couldn't mount over USB to copy across the new ROM. I'm guessing neither method works because of the new HBOOT?
I went to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1609190 and it's clear that I have to flash an RUU through fastboot to get back to a working state. Unfortunately All the RUU links for JB Roms as listed on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 seem to be dead so I can't download them. Similarly the links to older RUUs found here http://www.filefactory.com/f/e3e8b30e62a4a8aa/ all require a premium account because they are over the 500MB limit.
Can anyone tell me where I can please get an RUU to restore my phone to working order, or if there's another method available? Thankyou very much for your help.

Thankyou for the suggestion, but the problem with that method is that once again the ROM I want to flash has to be moved over to the virtal SD card of my phone. Since the ROM on it is currently not working I can't copy anything across to the SD card through the usual means. Is there a way I can copy it across using fastboot, as that is still working fine? I had a look at the fastboot help and there didn't seem to be any way. What I need is a ROM that can be flashed over fastboot, which I understand can be done with the stock RUUs?
I'm not panicking, I know that I will be able to get it back up and running, I just need a bit of help to get there.
Boot into bootloader and from there to recovery , mounts and storage - mount as USB ....and you have a working sd card to copy the rom.zip file to
Copy the rom.zip to the card and copy the boot.img from the rom.zip to the fastboot folder.
Flash the boot.img and flash the rom from recovery ..... Are u using cwm recovery 5.8.4.0

Thankyou so much for that suggestion. That would really help. I'm sorry, I don't know what I did, but now if I try to go into recovery the recovery flashes breifly on screen and then it resets. I tried reflashing it, using the All In One toolkit and using Fastboot.exe. I also tried flashing both the CWM recovery and the TWRP recovery, neither of them worked.
Thankyou for your help again, I'm sorry but recovery was working before, I think all I did was flash a boot.img but could that break recovery? I even tried going through the whole relock, flash firmware.zip, unlock, flash recovery procedure to see if that would work but it didn't.
Do a fastboot command
Put the phone in bootloader / fastboot USB menu
Fastboot erase cache
Check if you can enter recovery after that

Thankyou! That fixed the recovery issue. Once I could get into recovery I could copy across the ROM, flash it, flash boot.img (not that that was a problem) and my phone is now in woring order again.
Once again, many many thanks.
Glad you got it sorted !

[Q] soft bricked after factory reset on custom recovery

CID htc_j15 (middle east)
fastboot getvar version-main result : 3.14.401.619
hboot 1.31
I was running viperX 2.7.1 on hboot 1.31.
I wanted to return to full stock to get the Jb update.
I restored a stock nandroid backup ( and stock boot.img as well ).
Then it booted up fine.
Then not remembering i was on clockwork recovery, i press factoryreset on the hboot screen.
The clockwork recovery showed up instantly and wen i tried to installed a nandroid backup of viperx 2.7.1 from sdcard it showed no files found. (i think sdcard was accidentally wiped or access was blocked ) .
Then i tried a bunch of thing but nothing resulted in a proper boot.
The main problem is it cant access sdcard and i cant find an ruu for my device.
ANY help is appreciated
Thank you
If it doesn't mount in PC, try adb push to push someone else's backup or another ROM.

I tried but adb not recognising my device.
when i type adb devices, it shows blank
With CWM 5.8.4.0, you can go to mounts and storage, mount as usb and copy files on.
Does it work in fastboot ? If so, reflash the latest custom recovery and also
Fastboot erase cache
Will try these things.
Also can any1 point me to a stock recovery page?
i believe if i can get that. my problems are over
Thank you
Thank you people,
turns out there was no problem. When i clicked factory reset and cwm recovery appeared i just became paranoid.
i tried everything but i dint let my phone boot properly. lol me.
turns out evrything was proper and i even updated hboot to 1.39 thanks to clydeb1
But there is one thing. Apparently, if you do factory reset in bootloader while on cwm, the sdcard is wiped, just a warning to people

Please help! Computers will not recognise phone which now doesn't load the OS

I unlocked my HTC One X using the HTC software, no problems.
Installed Cyanogenmod using the wiki install. It worked, but once it was installed, no computer would recognise my phone any more. I've tried installing several drivers using the Android SDK and the guides here (Latest HTC Drivers), here (How to solve ADB : 'Device Not Found' error in Android), and here ([HOWTO] Installing HTC Drivers for adb/fastboot on Windows 8). Nothing worked.
Stupidly, I thought it wouldn't matter much and left it. But yesterday I tried updating Cyanogenmod to the latest stable 10.2.1. It caused my phone to simply show the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo and the restart constantly.
I've tried doing a restore, which didn't work. I've tried doing a factory reset, but all it does is load Clockworkmod recovery. And I can't simply "push" a rom onto the phone using cmd because no computers recognise my phone.
The phone turns on and charges just fine, but it repeatedly tries to start up and restarts. I CAN use HBOOT, Fastboot, and recovery though.
Any suggestions? Would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

you have to mount the sdcard, you will find the option in "mounts and storage" menu... after you do this, wait some mins... maybe it'll take a little time, but sdcard will get mounted

yes, it might take 3-4 minutes to mount... anyway you don't have to mount sdcard to install a rom, only to copy it on sd to flash it later.... do the following steps in that order:
1) put the rom zip in sd if you don't have it yet (skip if you do)
2) enter fastboot and flash boot.img taken from zip
2a) fastboot flash boot boot.img
2b) fastboot erase cache
3) enter the recovery and choose "wipe to install a new rom"
4) select install zip from sdcard and install it (follow instructions)
5) first boot may take up to 10 mins, so be patient...
if you still have problems with that specfic rom, try another one and check if it boots... if you choose to install ViperX 4.0.6, search in th rom thread becuse some users have issues in flashing and you need to follow a particular procedure (i mean only wipe cache in recovery and full install in aroma)

Okay, FIXED now. I managed to restore the phone using some RUU and stock firmware packages. After that, I managed to flash ClockwordMod recovery - which actually allowed me to mount the sd card, which actually worked! So then it was an easy flash of kernel and install of CyanogenMod (for now).
Thank you so much for your help ! Didn't even know I'd be able to mount from recovery until you mentioned it several posts above.
