[Q] What the hell has happened?? - SOLVED

ok, phone was on charge, phone rang, went to answer, phone rebooted!. Left it but it stayed on 02 screen??.. Battery out, reboot - same thing!
Tried going into recovery but again it hangs on the o2 boot screen?
What the hell has happened?????
Was running DeFrost 3.6 with no problems!
Someone please tell me my phone is not kaput!!

First of all, pull off your sdcard.

Tried that - removed sdcard - still same.. o2 boot screen...

Can anyone help me please?? I cant even get into recovery to to a nandroid restore.. everything i try the phone just sits there on the o2 screen... is there a way to reflash an original rom incase i have to send it back???
I just dont undestand why answering the phone on charge i have ended up with a f**cked phone???

So i imagine you can see hboot screen.
You may try to flash a new recovery with unrevoked.

Yes i can see the Hboot screens.. i tried the unrevoked methos but it wont go any further than saying: waiting for device enable usb debugging... as the phone wont startup.
Vicious circle eh.. thanks for quick reply though..

What i was going to say .... if you cant get to the hboot screen well then bad times indeed

Extreme solution
If you can get the Hboot screen, as extreme solution, just copy in your SDcard (root directory)the file PB99IMG.zip or similar (I have no brand phone, maybe O2 requires a different file).
Be carefull, because this method will reset completely your phone. You will loose Root, every data, and you'll come back to the original branded phone.
You can search for this file at:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
Download the zip file corresponding to your version and rename it in PB99IMG.zip
Put this file in the root directory of your sdcard, start the device in Hboot mode and it should start automatically!
I hope this can help you.
If anyone more expert has a better solution, please help him

No i CAN get into hboot screen.. i just have no idea as to what to do now???

Ok, i will lose root but will i be able to use the unrevoked method again??.. or am i completey screwed then as hboot will be too high etc...
I have put my goldcard in.. but just cant do anything

So...the alternative is to have a not working phone. In any case, Unrevoked or not, you should give it a try if you don't have other solutions. But I suggest you to read a lot of threads before you proceed... many similar experiences could help you to understand the procedure.

Yeah agreed.. would rather a working phone.. I have been looking at the bricked threads but they are not so easy to understand.. Appreciate the help though..

follow the hboot steps using the .zip file everthing will return to default so then you can use unrevoked to root you phone again #

Ok, i am completely stuck now.. I think i can repair the phone but i just have no idea how. I have trawled through bricked threads..just cant find a solution.
I think if i could get usb debugging enabled unrevoked might just work.
Using the cmd tool i can use enableqxdm 0 and it says okay - however unrevoked still does not see it as neither does my pc!
I have no idea how to restore my nandroid without getting into recovery???
I am unsure weather to flash the PB99img.zip as i have a branded phone and i am worried i will completely brick it!
Just so so lost....
Heres a tip though - dont answer your phone when its on charge!!!!

Can i use any of the PB99IMG.zips then as it was an o2 branded phone??? Or can i use the update.zip (is this the nandroid backup??) thats already on my sd card - have card reader so can mess about with that no probs..
I have just seen where it checks for the image afetr getting to Hboot so i understand what its looking for now... Question is what image do i use..
Really do appreciate all the help guys

Ok, i tried flashing one of the pb99img and i get a CID error (incorrect). It says this is because goldcard is not present but it is???? Is it because i am using a different standard rom to the one that was on the phone???

I give up for today - i gotta go to work. If i could get USB debugging to work i would probably be ok, but when i do the commands via cmd prompt it says okay but it doesnt seem to do anything!
My goldcard now seems like it doesnt want to be one, thus the cid error..
I am just going round in circles here..
Think i might just throw the damn thing out of a window - Its doing my head in!!!!!
All from answering the poxy phone whilst plugged in!!!!!

wow.. was hoping for a few replies.. guess no one has any ideas.. guess i am buggered then... ok so if i send the phone back to o2 - what is worse case scenario if they do see its flashed??.. will they just charge me for the fix or just not touch it at all??

I would suggest you put your SD card in your computer and verify the content. Or even better, I hope you have a backup of your SD Card after you rooted your phone. I think your partition may have gone, so you can't boot up anymore. Try to format your sd card, partition it with Gpartition or whatever prog you have and copy back the content of your SD Crad back up on your newly formated SD card. It should do the trick. The same happened to me when I changed my 8gb SD Card for a 16gb one.
Good luck and let me know how it works (or not).
forelli, in Darth Sidious mode.

The sd card seems ok in a card reader? I did do a backup a while back but i have a spare sd card so i will try that? Would the sd card problem stop me going into recovery though??? I thought that was phone based and not sd card based??

[Q] "Used" SD Card Causing Problem with Root? Now it's a brick...

I used Unrevoked to root my Incredible with no problems. When I copied some other ROMs to test, the phone wouldn't give me any options. It ran thru the following error message (in high speed...had to take a pic):

Upon investigating this I think I realized my problem, but don't know how to resolve it: I pulled the stock SD Card from my new Incredible and dropped in my "used" Eris card (rooted, too). Now I have two sets of directories on the card; one from my old Eris and the new Incredible one. I'm guessing this is confusing the OS. Here's what I've tried:
* deleting the old Eris directories, but to no avail
* when going into Recovery, I have the SLCD problem with the screen not reading right, but since I can't get the phone to recognize another ROM, I can't address that problem
I'm thinking of reformatting the card, but worry that once I do that, how will the phone be able to even boot when it's looking for a ROM?
***UPDATE*** being impatient, a risk-taker and a man of adventure, I have now done myself in, I'm afraid. I went ahead and reformatted the SD card and to my surprise, when I restarted, it found the PB31IMG.zip and updated it. After it completed, it asked if I want to reboot, I selected "Yes" and now it won't boot at all. When I hold the power button it vibrates once and that's it. After that, nothing works. When I do a battery pull and hold power button again, it vibrates once and...nothing more.
Next steps or suggestions from those much smarter than I am?

Can you get into HBOOT, at least? Completely power down, then hold the volume down button while powering up. Also, reformat your SD card to FAT32. Look around the forum for the SLCD recovery.

Why were you trying to flash a new PB31IMG.zip? To flash a new ROM, you should have booted into recovery and selected "install zip from sd card," navigated to wherever the zip (such as SkyRaider_33_Sense_Final.zip) is located and installed from there.
BTW... those are not error messages. The phone will search for those files whenever you boot into the bootloader. After it cycles through them, you have the option of selecting recovery.

The memory card shouldn't have mattered. I used my Eris card on mine with no problems.

first do a search here on xda for clockworkmod on crack...that file has a fix for your slcd in recovery.download that first and rename it to pb31img.zip put it right on the sdcard not in any folder. now download a rom from one of the forums to a computer, any rom for dinc, put your sdcard into the pc. put the rom u DL on the sd somewhere youll remember. unmount the card put it in your phone, hold vol down and power this takes you to the bootloader. now it will automatically search for pb31img.zip, click yes let it update.normally you click no but this is an exception, now press vol down to select recovery. takes you to recovery, goto install zip from sdcard, choose file on sscard, now goto that rom I said to remember. click yes, should be good to go

the problem i am running into with this is that the screen won't turn on at all. like the OP said, i get a single vibrate and thats it, the screen doesn't turn on. if it did, would be an easy-peasy fix. but since the screen won't turn on, i seem to have run out of options. took it into best buy and they just told me the battery was dead. its been charging for a few hours but to no avail.

ive been trying to help 3 diff ppl wit this problem, if its just doing the vibrate its cuz ur just trying to pwr it on, thats NOT what were trying to do. its easy do exactly what I type
1, take batt out, put it back in
2, hold vol dwn, dont let go, now hold pwr dwn til a white screen comes up, takes a few seconds
3, now if this doesnt work, its b/cu have an slcd and u didnt install correct drivers b4 rooting, and I cant help u nemore after that

[Q] Black screen with white bars after root? Help would be appreciated

Hey guys here is what i did step by step. This is my first root and i researched this a good bit but i obviously didnt read enough ; ;
Phone info: droid i, slcd, froyo stock 2.2 with november update. i bought the phone a couple of weeks ago.
I followed rooting instructions found here
(couldnt post the url cause im a new user) its found on jonsuh dot com
1) Already preinstalled clockwork mod app
2) Installed Hboot driver.
3) ran new revoked3
4) root was successful and my phone booted up.
heres where its gets tricky.
5) ran clockwork mod.
6) selected back up (figured this would be a safe idea before i started adding roms)
7) it prompted me to install clockwork mod recovery file. i did so then clicked on backup again. my phone turned off rebooted to the HTC incredible screen then went to this black screen with white bars on each side of the phone.
Ideas on what might be the problem would be greatly appreciated.

So i just a battery pull and started my phone back up and it booted up.... epic fail/win
win: phone phone started
fail: i wrote this whole damn post out.
might be helpful for those who ran into the same problem rooting thier phone though.
i read somewhere i should use an older clockwork recovery file. is that correct? and if so, can some tell me one that will work with an SLCD phone?

You might check this out.

ok so i made another boo-boo. i tried to install the virtuous rom and i clicked on clear data and wipe cache and when the phone restarted it stopped at the htc screen which had a black bar across it.
i tried rebooting it a couple different ways but now bastboot is booting up to the htc incredible screen and just staying there... i hope i didnt brick my phone...
please help!

you have an slcd droid incredible and need the modded clockwork recovery from adreynlyne thats all http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788306
thats should take care of the recovery issues

do you know how to move the file to the root of my sd card? i dont have a micro sd card reader...

ok so i went out and bought a micro sd card reader. put the new renamed .zp file onto my sd card. went into hboot and it still says the pb31img.zip file is missing. any ideas?
i extracted the renamed zip file to my sd card. was that the right thing to do? or do i just put the unextracted file in there?

You are thinking too hard!
Plug your phone into your PC. Set it to be a disk drive and copy the file to the SD card. (It will have lots of directories and stuff.)
I am not 100% sure, but I think the file name might need to be in caps. It must be named exactly.
Turn your phone off.
Hold down the down volume button and turn it on.
Magic should happen.

got it working thanks to setexascustoms. had to install it then reinstall virtuous rom. lost all my contacts but im back up and running!

[Q]HELP! My Desire got into restarl loop and can't restore

Hi guys,
I've just partitioned my SD CARD through ROM Manager. Partition of 512MB and 0MB of SWAP.
After that I turned on the Desire and Went to the rom manager and tried to Flash a ROM. - this went unsuccesfully because the ROM Manager could see my SD Card.
So, in the ROM MANAGER I pressed the thing that gets you into the recovery mode, and there when i was trying to flash the room, if could see the sd-card again.
I tryied to restore, but it said that it has nothing to restore(first of all i've just backed up before starting, and even before that I had tons of backups).
I gave up the restore and restarted my phone, which also went unsuccesfully.
I've got into a restart loop where the phone turnes up till the opening page, has a little time of black screen, and than again-opening screen.
PLEASE HELP ME. ANYONE???
EDIT: I have just connected the SD CARD to the computer through a card reader, and he is almost empty! It has only 2 folders: .android_secure, .footprints, Android, LOST.DIR
what should I do?!
Maybe some1 can upload here all his SDCARD content and by that i'll copy it into my, and maybe it will work again
EDIT #2: NOW I'CANT ENTER THE RECOVERY MOD AT ALL!!!
it just stuckes on the with screen showing the HTC sign.

A partition will delete the contents of a sd card you should of backed up you nandroid first.... go to recovery mode by holding vol down and pressing the power button while the device is off, and choose recovery from the menu, clear the dalvik cache and see if your device will boot

I pressed the"wipe dlavik chache" and nothing happend..

Sorry for the ignorance, but what RUU is?, I really didnt get your post

Before rooting it's advised to check the original ROM running on your phone and get a copy of that RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) so you can always revert back to stock if things go wrong. I assume you don't know what your phone originally came on?

Unfortunately you are write.
So.. is there something for me to do?

check this link with all the official RUUs and download one that is from your region or download the generic World wide english one (WWE)
its a utility that runs on windows and installs a fresh official ROM on your device

dude and where is the link?
*During the RUU installation it says to turn on my phone and do several things...
I CANT TURN ON MY PHONE!

Try.
Try reformatting your sd card in windows first?
If you have ubuntu, you could use gparted to format it.
Or use another sd card.
Since you can access your sd card, download clockworkmod and the necessary files needed to root your phone, including a new rom. (I don't know how its like on windows as i use a mac so...)
Start the rooting process again using unrevoked. See if it starts up your phone.
If you can, flash the new rom.
Hopefully everything will work out.
P.S. What rom were you using before this happened and what version of rom manager were you using? Perhaps this might help other people.

First of all, I was using the newest version of ROM Manager and an Israeli ROM based on the LEEDROID.
but it all relays to the past, i got my phone back on track!!!
I found an old folder on my computer which included all my SDCARD content(I rememberd that i've backed up it on the pc once), so i copied everything to the SD, and than it let me into the recovery mod, and i had an old Nandroid backup.
EVERYTHING IS FINE NOW, THANKS EVERYBODY FOR TRYING!

Thanks for responding. Everytime I choose recovery, it just brings me back to the white screen with hboot, bootloader, recovery, fast load, etc...
Is there something that I am not seeing? I tried downloading a rom on another SD card from a different EVO and then using that SD card to flash on my EVO...but still stuck on the the same white screen....

That is not what I meant. Go to the link below and download the PC36IMG.zip file for amon RA recovery v2.3 and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folder).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
Afterwards, shut down your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will scroll across the screen and then the bootloader *should* automatically detect the zip and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery and then go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it EXCEPT your SD card. After that, flash the rom you want to use. Be patient during the initial boot after flashing the rom.

It doesn't get any easier than the instructions posted in my previous post. All you have to do is download the file from the link I posted and put the file on the root of your SD card. Then boot into the bootloader screen. The bootloader will basically do it for you. Anyway, I hope everything works out for you. If not, let us know and we will continue to try to assist. Take care.

Thanks...It sounds easy enough. The only thing I do not know how to do is put the file on the root of my SD card...Is that what ADB is for? Do I need to do anything special to install ADB? Sorry, just brand new to this.

Attach your device to your computer via USB, when your computer recognizes the device, you should see an additional disk drive showing in your computer's file explorer. If you have a Mac, a disk drive will appear on the desktop. Simply copy the file over to it. Do not put it in any folder. It is that simple, my friend.

-Tags you out-
Yea I can take over...also, have a safe move.

you could also take the sd card out of ur evo... and put it in a micro sd adapter and stick it right in ur computer, (thats if u have a card reader and a microsd adapter) but then u can put the file on the sd card that way, then stick it back in ur evo and bam, follow the instructions

Thanks again for your help...I'm a lot further than I was last night. I installed the htc drivers and still cannot see my SD card anywhere on my pc. I don't have a micro SD adapter.
