Did I brick my phone? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, I was on CM7.0.3. But I wanted to test some other rom (Jokerdroid 4.2).
Now I did like this using clockworkmod 2.5.0.7:
- Boot into your phone’s recovery mode. You do that from ROM Manager
- Select ‘Wipe Date/Factory Reset’, then do ‘Wipe cache partition’
- Now go to ‘Install zip from SD card’ and choose the zip file of your ROM
- Reboot your phone
So after i did all of this, i rebooted but some error showd up. I was like okay, i reboot again for a test, but now it doesnt do anything. If i press on the power button doesnt boot, same for power + volume button.
Did I just F*** my phone up or ?

SHOULD NOT BE BRICKED,
try to pull battery out and then boot if not do NAND RESTORE
P.S did instalation finished of jokerdroid and what error you got

oh lol okay, im restoring now!
And ye the instalation was finished from Jokerdroid. Can't remember what the error was. But I think it is fixed!

Happy to see you solved...

wel ye i wont say it is solved, i did a restore but when i boot it show the htc logo and doesnt do anything after it.

before restore also wipe data/cash and then restore

Thank god Its working again!
Would there be a big chance i will have the same error again if i try to install Jokerdroid again ?

dont realy know sice dont know what error did you got,try if fails do a NAND RESTORE again

I once forgot to wipe cache and data before flashing, rom installed without errors but wouldn't boot. I had to wipe then restore the backup and then wipe data and cache again before attempting to flash the new rom again, it worked perfect the second time.

[Q] Help.... phone stuck in saying "CyanogenMod 7"...

HI... i updated my phone with cyanogen 7 rc2, but after it booted up it's stuck in the animation that says cyanogen mod 7 , and the blue android sign... in comes than goes, again it comes... about 20 min stuck... what to do???
It sounds like you need to go into recovery mode and delete all your caches. If you are using ClockworkMod recovery do the following (make sure you are backed up first):
Delete all user data and info (under wipe data/ factory reset),
Wipe cache (under wipe cache partition),
Wipe Dalvik Cache (under advanced).
Then once you've done that try installing and running the ROM again.
i done that one time... for info im using AmonRA.. i cleaned all the cache and everything also... and installed again... nothing happens... fortunately i restored my nand backup and booted my phone with the OTA again... waiting for some answer.... do u think that installing stable version can fix this?
Sounds like a bad flash. I had rc2 running for a month or so with no issues. I've had times when the rom just doesn't install properly ans reflashing fixes it.
Download the zip again, if possible check md5 to make sure it's all good, make sure you have the desire/bravo GSM version, clear everything and flash just the rom and nothing else. If it boots, then go back and flash your gapps and whatever else you want.

thx for replying.. as i was waiting for your reply, i download the cm 6 that is a stable version and checked, it has the same problem too.. i also downloaded GingerVillain 1.6 and it had the same problem too. do u think the problem might be that my phone is "s-on"? and how should i know if my phone is s-on or s-off... when i was rooting my phone with unrevoked, i checked the option that says disable security, but i'm not sure if it's disabled.... because i can't install un-signed zip packages....
any reply?
That definitely sounds odd. Its definitely not an issue with S-ON/OFF, nothing you've done here requires S-OFF to work properly.
Lets just make sure you're following all the steps.
In amonra, you've done your nandroid backup, so no need to do it again. There's no point having a non working backup
Go to wipe and wipe data/factory reset
Wipe davlik cache
Wipe sd-ext (shouldn't need to do this one as you don't have apps2sd yet, but better to be safe)
Now you flash your update.zip, then reboot and you should be fine. The only other thing I can perhaps suggest if every rom you flash sticks at boot is to perhaps try clockwork recovery instead of amonra. Apart from that we might have to wait for folks more knowledgeable than myself cause I'm all out of ideas.
thx for reply.... in meanwhile , i s-off ed my phone and it has the same problem too... i have problem with all cm and gingervillain roms.. but i don't have any problem with leedriod... one more question that maybe the problem is that i have android 2.2 installed, but gingervillain and cm use android 2.3 ... this maybe the problem.... and that's why leedroid works right, because it uses android 2.2.... i'm going to check OxyGen roms... i will post the result here...
i also faced same problem CM7 .. i tried CM6 and it went on fine..
heyyy... right after i posted the reply , i went to recovery and wiped anything, then installed gingervillain 1.6, and everything's fine now... it booted up and now im setting it up.... im going to check the cm 7 too.
i tried cm7 rc2 ... and it was fine and now im using it... here's a how to for solving the problem...:
1.S-OFF your device with AlphaRev : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811
2.Install the AlphaRev Recovery(S-OFF Image will do it automatically).
3.Go to recovery and install the rom...
4.Boot up and it should not go to system and it should stay in loop as the problem was..
5.Now you should reboot your device into recovery... there are two ways to do this... either take the battery off and put it on, then boot to bootloader by pressing the volume down and the power key and select recovery , or the second way connect it to your computer and start adb and run this command:
adb reboot recovery
6.In AlphaRev recovery first wipe the cache partition , wipe user data, and factory reset...
7.then install the rom (either cm7 or gingervillain)...
8. boot up , and now you have the system running...
This solved my problem... reply if it didn't yours...
hooo.. it worked for me now. just kept update.zip in a new SD card and not flashed google apps..
im very happy that i solved one's problem.. ... thread marked as solved...
*UPDATE* : now i realized that we can mark it as solved.. !!! hehe.. Admin do it for us...

<PLEASE HELP> I Can't install any ROM on my Wildfire

Hi, thanks for reading..
I have a htc wildfire phone.
I S-Off-ed it with revolutionary, and also flashed Clockwork 3.0.0.6 on it.
Than I wiped cache (darvik also) and system , and tried to install cym 7 from [install zip from sd card]
as progress goes through, phone freezes or restarts and only green HTC logo appears on the screen, without sound and message (quietly brilliant).
It happens on all rom-s i've tried, nightly ones and cym 6.0 also.
Could you please help me to fix my phone?
Did you do a full wipe?
If you just wipe the cache partitions, the ROM will bootloop.

He means data, dalvik cache and cache. Do those three wipes and reinstall the zip.

Thanks guys for replay.
I wiped data, dalvik cache and cache.
Than reinstalled zip (cym 6.0), the progress bar went nearly complete, than it freezed, rebooted and booted into clockwork directly.
than i clicked on [reboot system now], it rebooted and is freezed on HTC green logo without animation and sound.
Can i do anything else? or can I install htc sense rom again? (note that I had a backup and when I click a restore, it does restore but still freezes in middle process and no effect is given on phone)
Most Sense ROMs will require a 2.5 recovery. (Use the .zip I attached, it'll give you a temporary recovery once you flash it).
I know that Rempuzzle doesn't require 2.5 recovery tho. Have you tried re-installing the CM7 .zip? or re-downloading and re-installing?
Yesterday, I had exactly the same problem like you. The problem was something with the recovery system. I flashed it again and since then, it works.
ok guys,
I've updated clockwork with update.zip, it appeared blue clockwork 2.5, I wiped everything and started installation over. no ROMs worked (cym 7, cym 6, and latest nightly cyms, HCDR.ROM also).
I think downgrading on 2.5 is kind of reflash too. note that when I reboot recovery it is still orange 3.0.0.6 then until I update it again with update1.zip
Still no result, please help if you have any more ideas.
Flash a complete new recovery, for example with the PC49IMG.zip method..
Clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0 has the blue text.
Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 which you need to flash older roms has green text.
The Orange one is clockwork 3.x.x.x which atm is your main recovery installed in the phone, the update zip gives a temporary recovery which will disappear after rebooting, I'm not quite sure where your going wrong but just try this if you have a cm7 Rom on your SD card.
Power off the phone and then boot into recovery, volume down and power to get hboot and then select recovery, (sorry for the noob instructions, I just want to make sure your doing it correctly) when the Orange clockwork loads up first select wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache, after that scroll down to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache from in that menu, then go back and choose install from zip/choose zip find your cm7 Rom and select it after its done its thing reboot from main menu.
Cm7 should install fine from clockwork 3.x+ and then if you want to install an older rom like cm6 open Rom manager flash clockwork 2.5.0.7 (also temporary) and reboot into it then do the same wipes and flash cm6.

Just saying that will probably confuse the guy even more, try explaining what PC49IMG is? Or at least give him a link to where he can find it.

guys, I did PC49IMG.zip method too. I mean I wrote this file on sd card and than in fastreboot i clicked volume up (update). it has done everything.
I do cym7 installation exactly with your (nooby) instruction. thing is that when installation process goes, it is not finnishing, its freezing or rebooting phone and then not booting exept green HTC logo.
I think this is unique case in this forum. so no more ideas I guess.

Boot keeps restarting :(

i was rooting my arc s and it was successfully rooted after that i wanted to install some custom rom on it, i tryed the Modded ICS one and installed there boot.img and now my phone just reboots after it shows the "XPERIA" logo
Please help im new at flashing )
Thanks
hi
So u have flashed boot but not rom?
U need to have the rom on your SD .
Turn off phone boot it up and when boot logo appears repeatly press back button (not sure if there's an indicater on that kernel or not)
This should boot cwm when in cwm make a backup
Select backup and restore then backup
When this completes wipe data ,clear cache and advanced clear dalvik cache
now select install zip from SD ,then choose zip from SD,then locate your rom file select it and hit yes when it finishes ,reboot and enjoy
Volume rocker moves up and down
And home or power button selects
If u can't get into cwm u have made a mistake flashing boot so reflash it before the above
Failing this return to stock by flash original fw thru flash tool
Plenty of tuts on that just search
Hope that helps

is not the solution,i try several times,and always the same results.
Try:
1) copy your rom into sdcard.
2) flash your kernel under fastboot mode, then reboot.
3) keep press volumn button while rebooting, it should b under cwm screen.
4) wipe dalvik cache under advance
5) wipe data partition
6) factory reset, then reboot again
7) go into cwm screen again, then choose install zip frm sdcard, choose n run the rom that u copy into sdcard earlier. Reboot again after completed.
8) u shall wait for a while when restarting... Then should b ok....
U may try this, dunno whether work for u not.

[Q] TMO SGH-T989 cant wipe data, cant restore backup, cant do ANYTHING

SHG-T989 on TMO. I was running CM 9.0 but wanted to update to 9.1. NOW I CANT DO ANYTHING!!! Here is what I did:
1. Downloaded the CM9.1. 2. did a backup through CWM. 3. wiped data through CWM, "wipe data/factory reset. 4. wiped cache partition through CWM. 5. did a Darkside Super Wipe through "install zip from internal sd card" (last time installing CM9 i got stuck in the boot screen and had to go back using Darkside Super Wipe, reinstall CM9 and it worked fine). 6. Reboot to recovery. 7. installed CM9.1 through "install zip from sdcard". 8. installed gapps through "install zip from sdcard". 9. Reboot.
It came up and was stuck in the CM9 boot screen. So I went back in through CWM and tried to "wipe data/factory reset" and it wont work! Tried to go back to stock through Odin and it wont work! When i try to wipe data, the process starts and completes the "formatting /data, then gets stuck at formatting /cache. Does the same thing if I try to wipe the cache.
Im completely stuck and have no phone.
Which recovery version are you using? It might a corrupted recovery.
Try this recovery TWRP is cwm flashable:
SGH-T989_TWRP_v2.2.2.0.zip - 6.72 MB
Then TDJs super wipe and then install the stock ROM or any other ROM.

loaded up my nandroid which went fine, ended up installing twrp instead to see if that would help, rebooted into recovery and was stuck on the "teamwin" blue screen and wouldn't go further multiple times. so, put cwm back on (6.0.1.5) to see if the updated version would work. nope, same thing- can't do anything with the cache partition.
any ideas??
luckily my phone still works fine with the backup i made. running aokp ics build 40, streamline #27 kernel, uvle1 radio. been running that setup since july with no real problems, just wanted to try out JB finally and seems now i can't

Ok, the wipe scripts in CWM recovery v5 are broken! Got experience there because I got stuck on the PACman ROM boot animation.
So, for factory reset, use Darkside Super Wipe. Install zip from sdcard and choose the wipe. From there, install rom, then gapps, and then use the Darkside Cache Wipe. After that reboot and it should work (hopefully)
However the most important thing is that the wipes don't work in CWM recovery v6! It will do bad things!
So yeah, use super wipe to factory reset. Use cache wipe for cache. But follow the instructions to install the ROM.

Similar problem, but cannot make zips to work - HELP NEEDED
HI,
I hope you guys can help me. My T989 got stucked in the splash screen when I tried to update to a nightly CM10 ROM. I entered into Recovery MOde (ClockworkMod 6.0.2.7), then tried to use Darkside Super Wipe... but apparently the phone cannot open zip files. When I hit install zip from sdcard and then select one of the zips (I have tried different ones) it says "---Installing: /sdcard/sgh-t989_darkside.supe.wipe.zip"... but it does not move from there. After 3-4 minutes it reboots by itself and gets back to the splash animation, but never goes beyond that point.
I tried to sideload using ADB, but the phone is not recognized by my PC.
As you said, I think that the recovery mode is corrupted... but I cannot install a new version using a zip
Is there another way to reinstall a version of CWM that allows me to install zips so that I can follow the process you suggested (super wipe + installing ROMS)?
Help will be very much appreciated
Thanks for your time,
Enrique

Do NOT use that darkside superwipes with CWM recovery v6.X.X.X. Does bad things.
Use the scripts only for CWM v5.X.X.X.

Either that or you can search the forum and Google around and see what you can find. I am in by no means an expert, but depending if you can access the recovery mode or not might be the key here.

However!
I have no clue how to do it, and in the end you might just end up making the issue worse.... Like hard brick it.

Thanks again for the answer. A couple of days ago I tried to install a functional backup that I had from CWM... but it does not work It runs for a long while, then reboots... but it still freezes on the splash screen (my theory is that the backup is not recovered, as I know for sure that the ROM I backed up did work fine)... I think that CWM is corrupted and not working properly.
Then I tried the solution from the thread you mentioned... but adb cannot find the phone when it is connected
I found somewhere that I can use a samsung jig (microUSB with a resistance) to make the phone enter into download mode, then reinstall CWM using ODIN and then try flashing a stable ROM... What do you guys think?

[Q] Newbie Flashing Android revolution hd 12.0 on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100

Hi Guys,
Im having a problem flashing the Android Revolution to my Phone. I cannot post in the development thread because im really really new, but i've been reading a lot and did not expected this problem at all.
Here's the story.
i have a n7100 JB 4.1.1 rooted
just recently i managed to flash CWM recovery v6.0.1.9 to my phone without any problems using the Galaxy note 2 Toolkit v3
As i was reading the installation guide for ARHD, i have copied the AHRD zip in my external SD about 859mb
booted to recovery mode and wiped data, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik cache
so i thought i was ready to flash the rom....
rebooted to recovery mode after wiping datas and chose install zip from sd card and zip from external sdcard, of course i chose the ARHD zip, confirmed yes Install.
Now here's the big problem, when the aroma installer opens and as i was going thru the process everything would suddenly freeze and gets stuck so i couldn't complete all the process. first time it happened was right after selecting which google apps to install and when asked which samsung apps to remove it suddenly froze waited about 10 mins and still nothing. So i rebooted to recovery mode Volup+home+power and repeated the process but still freezes. sometimes it happens in the "agree" to terms sometimes back to google apps, it happens randomly.. Now i can't install the rom please help me...
Thanks in Advance

Hi Guys,
Im having a problem flashing the Android Revolution to my Phone. I cannot post in the development thread because im really really new, but i've been reading a lot and did not expected this problem at all.
Here's the story.
i have a n7100 JB 4.1.1 rooted
just recently i managed to flash CWM recovery v6.0.1.9 to my phone without any problems using the Galaxy note 2 Toolkit v3
As i was reading the installation guide for ARHD, i have copied the AHRD zip in my external SD about 859mb
booted to recovery mode and wiped data, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik cache
so i thought i was ready to flash the rom....
rebooted to recovery mode after wiping datas and chose install zip from sd card and zip from external sdcard, of course i chose the ARHD zip, confirmed yes Install.
Now here's the big problem, when the aroma installer opens and as i was going thru the process everything would suddenly freeze and gets stuck so i couldn't complete all the process. first time it happened was right after selecting which google apps to install and when asked which samsung apps to remove it suddenly froze waited about 10 mins and still nothing.

have u checked the wipe option in aroma?
try the super wipe script by mike.
NOTE: it will remove all the data from sdcard0.

hey thanks for replying! well the problem is i couldn't even go to the wipe option in aroma because it freezes from the agree terms, i was able to check wipe option in aroma but after that next step the phone freezes in the select apps to install.
as for the superwipe, i have wiped data, cache, dalvik cache from the start... do i still really need that? and i read confirming that superwipe isn't working for CWM 6.0.1.9
Try some other recovery like twrp or philz touch.
Also check hash of the file.

thanks utkarsh for clearing that up. anyway i think this case is an example of a bad download of the rom.
I thought i'll never be able to load up the phone since i did data wipes but when the phone is able to pass the samsung logo, it was just back to factory reset. but surprisingly SuperUser is already installed lols. so i downloaded Criskello Rom instead and that worked. almost gave me a heart attack there. BTW, Criskelo rom is awesome!
Thanks for all the help guys!
