So was enebriated, bored, and careless last night (after my Hawks lost).
Decided to flash one of the leaked Gbread Roms last night just to briefly play with it.
[conditions of an idiot::
1.I have no Nand backup, AND
2.my Rom is not on the card AND
3.I am in middle of Iowa with family til I return to Chicago Friday ...NO computer unbelievably....
So YEAH...idiotic..I know this, Ok?!]
So, for some reason the phone keeps freezing and rebooting continuously.
**I decided to go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
**I then do what I think is the big mistake: flash Calkulin's ALL FORMAT Wipe first.
**After then wiping cache and dalvik: it reboots straight to bootloader .
**I then decide to wipe all data....it reboots straight to bootloader. (whether pulling battery or not btw).
**Starting to panic, thinking that the Calkulin flash reformat move was the problem, I decide to wipe the sd card!.... it reboots to the bootloader only.
SOOOOO at this point, out here are there any options for me to reboot the phone??!!
(Closest Sprint store is 100mi drive to Des Moines).
Any courses of action APPRECIATED . bro's .
Thanks
What is your phone doing now? Do you have anything on it at all?
Also, how are you posting this with no computer and no phone? That's crazy talk.
get to a computer and run the RUU. then root & start over.
Writing on my sisters Verizon Droid.
Phone is powered off....Turning on just goes to recovery.
Man please don't say that rerooting is the only option. If it is, so be it.
Short of any tricks in recovery (none?!)... I was gonna drive to DesMoines Sprint.
You wiped your phone clean so there is currently no rom on it. You need to put a rom on your sdcard (take it out and plug the sdcard into your computer next tone you have access) orrrr download a tom on your sisters droids with your sd card in her phone so you would then have one on yours, put your sdcard bavk into your phone, hold volume down and power button to get into bootloader select recovery then flash the rom. youll be back up in no time. don't panic.

Yeah a full wipe like that will leave you with nothing to boot into. Get it done with the SD card as mentioned and you should be good. Tough game for the Blackhawks. At least the Bulls won.

I just started using boot manager and after some frustration it appears that I have it working now. I was wondering though after booting into a rom from slot 2, getting the settings, sounds, wallpapers, folders, widgets, etc.. setup will all that stay the same after booting into a rom from another slot or going back to the phone rom and then back to slot 2 rom. Thanks for your help.

Yes, everything you change/mod/add/delete will save to this slot. I have fully customized ROM's running on each slot and I like to use this as an evaluation for new ROM's.
Has any one had any luck getting skyraider zeus to work with BM. It will install to a slot just fine but it won't boot. I do have the force large boot.img checked.
The only way i got Zeus to work was to load onto phone then restore to a slot on boot manager an it will run fine.Sense roms seem to be more tricky to run with boot manager.
I tried installing a nandroid twice and each time it finished the notification said click here for boot options. I clicked it and it just went back to BM and the only option was to stop install. Any ideas?
Don't mean to hijack, but I get an error when installing cm7, when boot manager is making a boot.img. I already set the setting for larger boot.img. Any body got ideas?

Make sure logging is disabled in Superuser settings and make sure to turn on "screen on during install" in Boot Manager settings along with the force large boot.img. If both those settings are set like that and it still won't work just keep trying it will after a few attempts. I have struggled with this app but have stuck with it and now I love it. I started a thread in the General section called, "Boot Manager Discussion", I am hoping to get some user support, tips and tricks started like I have seen in other forums on XDA but for other phones.

can you explain how you did this? I am not sure how to restore to a slot. I would like to have MIUI as my phone rom (since you can't get data as a slot rom) and restore my phone rom (bindroid) to slot 3. I looked under all the settings I could find, but can't seem to find the answer.
thanks in advance!

So to brake it down, install Rom like normal, make a backup and use that backup to move Rom to a slot instead of being the phone Rom?

Thanks a lot, I don't know how many times I have looked for this and went right by it. Trying it now.
Edit: Tried that with a sense rom (bindroid) and it hangs at splash screen. Had to do the two finger salute and get back into recovery. hmm. Got large boot.img checked, any other thoughts?
Still not working but every now and again I will try it again to see if it works.
Sent via My Incredible 2 fully rooted and cookie wasted going 110mph. Imma GeeK it, till it MegaHertz™
Besides checking "force large boot.img", also make sure to check "screen on during install" in boot manager settings. You also need to disable logging in the settings of superuser. It was suggested to me and seems to work, use ext2 instead of ext4 as long as boot manager detects ext2 for the rom you want to install to a slot.

I had a couple of times the boot process stuck at splash screen. What worked for me, in addition to checking the large boot image, disable su logging, screen on during flashing etc- was choosing ext2, not ext4.
The splash screen lingers a little longer than usual, so be patient for a couple of minutes before giving up and pulling battery.
However, after trying a few roms and although boot manager is really cool, I can't say it is different than wiping, flashing a rom and then restoring other roms from recovery- it takes more or less the same amount of time (and sdcard storage).
Also, I noticed that although I have flashed gasps, after boot it didn't recognize them, Boot Manager doesn't like it (don't know why, maybe some licence check? is this really necessary???). So, to revert back to phone rom I always need to go through recovery and flash boot.zip again.
The same applies if for whatever reason with the booted rom one cannot gain Wifi access or data, then BM won't start, back again to recovery.
IMHO it is just a hassle to use, takes too much time, but is nice if one doesn't like to go too much through recovery, doesn't trust rom manager and so on. Or, if one wants to keep several roms and go back and forth between them.

Don't know how many use the Boot Manager but if there is a thread about is you might get a faster answer asking there.

yeah there is: if you make a nandroid backup before doing anything, the next time it hangs you should reboot to recovery (either from bootloader or with adb), full wipe then restore the backup.
Much easier than going back to stock re rooting and re flashing
htc stuck and not rooted
How about a phone that may not be rooted and will only boot to the HTC screen? Anyway to get this rolling again...bought one like this for parts but...will the PD98img.zip file on an sd card and Hboot work for this? Other options? thanks.

None at the moment...would be happy with any that might get it working at this point. That said I am using ICS Quattro RC2 on my "good" phone and very pleased with it..before my 4.0 trials, the MUIU rom was great...I would probably load the latest Muiu if and when..pretty stable.
I would love to run rcmix3d and cyanogenmod 7. If someone could help me do that it would be awesome.
Think you need Boot Manager from Market...$1.99-cheap...can run up to 5 rom's without having to wipe and format etc between every time. Has 'slots' and you choose which rom to boot
If you would have read all instructions (yeah, there really is something they call "manual"), you wouldnt have to mess up your phone like this
The first time you start BootManager, you need to set up your phone rom. It then creates a folder on your SD (BootManager/PhoneROM). Inside it, you'll find a "update.zip" - whenever you get stuck in an SD ROM, go to recovery and apply that update.zip - and your good to go.
Worked for me a hundred times - when you change your phone rom, remember to set up phone rom in BootManager again.
DN41
I did setup my phone. Then I installed cm7 and had the update.zip but when I restarted it hung on the HTC screen. I could not get it to go back in to recovery. the only thing I could do was get it to hboot. Is there a way to get to recovery from hboot? I read the manual twice.
Yeah if you're in Bootloader, choose recovery and you're done?
If fastboot is enabled, you first need to get into "normal" Bootloader mode:

If you're in HBoot, you're able to get into recovery:

Thanks I didn't see that. It was probably there though.
So why did it not boot into cm7. Do I have to use different Kernel? Was it that I installed the Gapps after the ROM?
No problem man, next Time you'll know it better.
I have no Problem with cm7 on Sd card, with gapps. Did you use the latest versions?

I'm pretty sure this happened alongside the 4.1 update, it may have been on ICS too, but I probably would have noticed. I plugged my phone into my computer and it said that I only had 1.1 gb free space. This is pretty strange since I have no videos or music stored directly on the device. When I checked the storage in the system settings I saw that there is a lot of inaccessible space for some reason. I attached a screen shot from the settings screen in case anyone can help.
I updated to 4.1.1 since and it hasn't changed anything. I'm using the rotted and deodexed OTA.

Hello,
I had a similar problem updating from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1, my /sdcard partition was no more accessible, probably due to wrong permissions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28608316#post28608316
Looking around I did not find a simple solution.
I decided therefore to factory reset my phone to stock 4.0.4 and then redo the update to 4.1.1. Everything is fine since then.
You may probably want to make a backup of your apps and setting with titanium backup before doing it
Thanks man. I figured there was something with partitions. Appreciate the help.

I've had the same problem the difference is my storage has shrunk to almost 100 MB!!! I can't even post a screenshot because there's not enough space to keep it...
I tried factory reseting to 4.0.4 but my phone is not detected by Win 7 in fastboot so I can't flash it that way and, on the other hand, I can't copy a Factory Image in the internal memory and do it with CWM because Win 7 won't recognize the terminal's memory, it won't allow me in.
What the **** have I done?? I was in 4.0.4 stock ROM, rooted in a Maguro GSM GNex and received the OTA normally, officially. I know a should've unrooted before allowing the update but I don't think that is the reason for this.
Please help me out!
I have this but seems its just not taking into account memory used by Google music offline storage

I'm back to 4.0.4 and my balls are back home, my nutsack. Thanks!!!
Had the same problem going from stock 4.0.4 (rooted, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery) to OTA 4.1.1, lost all my memory. Figured it out when the play store was trying to reinstall all of my apps and it kept saying "no memory left".
After I panicked, I fixed it following these:
Follow this awesome thread from "efrant" (wipes everything and goes back to factory ROM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
For Mac:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25804454&postcount=59
After going to totally stock 4.0.4 with nothing on it, tried the OTA again (from the OTA notification) and the same thing happened, all my memory disappeared. Started over and went back to stock from efrant's post and then rooted following this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123
Installed CWM and ROM Manager, made a nandroid of 4.0.4 just in case, then installed this (choice of stock JB Roms):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
Works great now! Running JB 4.1.1 stock, and have a TON of memory again. I can't use the Nexus toolboxes because I am on a Mac. efrant's method seems complicated, but it is actually easy, just follow it exactly, step by step and it works for Mac or Windows.
If anybody knows how or why the memory disappears, please share. I can't figure out what happened since the same thing happened whether I had a rooted and "used" stock ROM or a totally stock factory ROM.
So I still haven't tried to fix the problem on My GNex. It hasn't really bothered me much, since I don't have a lot of media on it. But I just went from stock 4.0.3 to CM10 preview on my TF101 Transformer and the same thing happened. It says I have something like 670MB free, when It should be closer to 8 GB. This is problematic on this device, because it's where I do keep all my media.
Has anyone actually figured out the cause? I'd rather not just keep flashing ROMs until the problem goes away.
Please help: I haven't been able to install any apps! Have plenty room but receiving error message
I have attached a few screens of info. thanks

I ran into the same problem as the opener mentioned. This thread might be old, but as I didn't find any other solution than reverting back to the stock ROM, I decided to share what I did to solve the problem. I used DiskUsage to identify that the /data folder was taking up a lot of storage. Browsing in to this directory with DiskUsage it told me that I only had 496 mb remaining and showed me what directories were taking up space. Apparently a DCIM folder and backup folder were taking up 4 GB of storage each. Weird, I just checked the size of my DCIM folder a few minutes earlier and it was only about 1 GB large, furthermore I don't have any nandroid backups.. In /data/media I found a file system from my previous ROM lurking. By removing these files I was able to restore my previously lost data without reverting to a stock ROM
It looks like the old files weren't removed nor moved to the new place where files are stored in Jelly Bean, then Android failed to locate these files and therefore showed 496 mb free without explaining where they were hiding.
So I wanted to upgrade my rom today, and first I was going to just dirty flash it, so I tried to do a nandroid first... so I did that, but couldnt find the file anywhere in the phone's storage. After this, my phone only had 700mb free, when prior to that, the phone was only half full. I thought okay, now I did it, let me just wipe the whole damn thing and start over.
I did this, three times, but for some reason on an utterly fresh install (Jedi Rom X13 if it matters) following all of the directions, my phone's 10gb of storage is over 7gb full.... what is going on here? Can anybody help?
edit: also, the phone keeps going black and I have to pop the battery to work with it again. This is on two separate installs.. I don't know what happened to my phone
Lil more info::
What did you perform the back with?
What did ya do right b4 the back up?
Another thing is, if you have games that download large files then that'll also fill up you memory!!! I have 2 games equaling 3 gigs alone.
Sounds like time to perform a internal wipe!!! Since your having problem's.

Performed the wipe with clockwork. Not sure what version. Did nothing noteworthy prior to the backup. An "internal" wipe is what I thought I was doing... factory wipe from clockwork, format system, flash new rom, wipe dalvik. What am I missing?

Sounds like you are not wiping the internal sd card. All your game data and stuff from internal sd does not get wiped when you perform a "clean install", cache, d cache, format system etc. Make you go in internal sd and back up all your personal data before selecting to wipe sd.

I've found in the past, at least with using TWRP, that I have to do a factory reset AFTER I install the ROM via recovery. I have no idea why this is but doing cache, internal memory, and factory resets PRIOR to doing the ROM update doesn't always wipe the internal memory. Strange behavior, but anyway after you install the ROM, go back in to recovery mode and perform a "factory reset".

Thanks for all the input. I was able to solve the space problem this morning based on el_chiefo's lead. EVERY time I've installed a ROM with a clean install, I've never had this problem, but in this particular case, in addition to doing a factory reset, format system, flash rom, clear cache, clear dalvik, I had to also format sdcard... neeeeever had to do that before, but this time I did.... whatever. Phone has jammed up a little here and there, but I haven't had to pop the battery to reset, and battery life seems okay at the moment. Hopefully things go smoothly from here. It was a frustrating day yesterday, which actually ended up in the destruction of my Nexus 7... I needed to drive to a friends house, needed navigation, phone was out of service, so I brought the N7, then dropped it going into my car .... but at least my phone works now.... thanks again for the help.
