Hi everybody. I canot understand what's happening with my phone.It was rooted using revolutionary method. A half of a year everything was fine,then it begins....once I have installed a rom,and when I was changing maybe the kernel or just installing a script,the rom stucks on bootscreen and i couldn't even restore it from backup.. other case I changed once my recovery from 5.0 to 2.5 and when i decided to install back 5.0 i couldn't because none of the known methods helped me....today i tryed to nandroid my current rom(rempuzle) and it was written that it couldn't find the folder android secure(even if the folder exist) and i can't nandroid,after rebooting,my phone couldn't even find my sd card and i couldn't use my apps,now i saved the most important things from my sd and i want to ask you for advice....I am not sure but i still suppose that it could be a bad rooting process or something happened untill i use my phone,what can i do,i thought about restoring my phone to it's original state(cancelling root) and then root it again with another method or there is another logical explication to this issues? pls help.
anyone?
Presumably you can still get in to hboot. If so connect the phone to your pc and put the phone in fastboot USB mode then run a RUU to restore the phone back to stock. You can then start the rooting process again if you so desire.

I'm not sure - just guessing - but do you have the possibility to use a different sdcard? Or do a complete format (you said you already did a backup) of the sdcard and apply the stuff you need again (apps, ext partition?). In case the card got corrupted a nandroid restore might not help there.
But like I said: just guessing...
You're s-on - right?

yep that's what I'm thinking. Due to the fact that the android secure folder resides on the sdcard (FAT32) it could be the card (and you can't do partial nandroid...) - but again: just guessing.
ok,I will try
oh yes,btw I don't know if it's important but for me the PC36IMG method never worked....can the sd be the problem here?
I changed the sd and i have done a nandroid(instead of waiting 1 h i waited 10 mins) but the same result Error while making a backup image of /sdcard/.android_secure ! (((

It might be some minor problem that could be solved easier, no idea, you could either remove your apps and their data one by one, check your filesystem if you see something suspicious or wait if someone has a better idea. If you don't want to waste too much time with that I'd suggest you make a full backup of your apps (e.g. with titanium backup), check if contacts, calendar & stuff is synced with google, do a full wipe/factory reset and reflash the ROM.
What ROM are you using at the moment?

I hope you are aware of these things :
>Make sure you don't rename the file "PC49IMG.zip.zip"(Windows hides known file extensions by default)
>Drop the zip file on the root of the SD Card
>Boot to BOOTLOADER and select yes to update
Try different SD card and/or SD card adapter.

I used rempuzle
now I installed a cm based rom and I hope that I will not have problems with it
about the PC49IMG.zip problem,I used a tutorial for flashing roms with this method.so my phone couldn't find this file and ofc it was located at the root of my sd.....but now whe I enter in bootloader,it was written that the system is looking for another file,not PC49IMG.zip but i can't remember the name,can it be a different filename for my phone?
O_O omg,now i rebooted my phone in bootloader to try to read the name of the file and now my phone got stuck on bootscreen....it's done again.......what can i do,i want finally a cm7(i think) based rom maybe with the interface changed(sometimes i dislike the standart look) wich i can use more then a month at least,tu have the best kernel for it and if it's necessary a normal radio version,to not see those troubles again...I don't want to change this phone,but I hate when I nedd to flash a new rom every half of a month and meet those problems again....help pls) or again my interesting question,can a restore and rooting again process solve these problems?

OK....long story short...finally decided to delve into rooting and custom roms. Flashed CM6 yesterday and everything was going great. Then suddenly yesterday evening as I was swiping between home screens on my device everything froze, and I have been trying to recover ever since.
Anything I flash now just freezes, and i have a touch panel-fail so even when i do get a rom to boot i cant actually get into set it to usb mode or anything.
using bootloader i can not get it to connect using the adb driver so that I can push via adb.
about an hour ago I was successfully able to run the latest RUU and it ran successfully, but device is still way laggy (takes 15 minutes to boot) and no touch screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! don't know where to go from here. From what I have read its not bricked because I can get into Bootloader and Recovery???
Just a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like since you're stock now it's an actual hardware failure.

Is there way I can verify that the RUU did indeed flash *EVERYTHING* back to stock?
It seen like you have a HARDWARE issues, Re-Boot the Stock Rom. Call Sprint and explain what's going on with your phone, please *DO NO'T MENTION YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE* Tell them you try to wipe your phone and it was really laggy before you wipe, since you gonna Re-Boot the stock rom the phone is going to get UNROOTED, I know this cause I work at Sprint... So good luck...

I definitely wont rule out hardware issues...this is a refurb device i just swapped my original EVO for on Monday. I guess I just want to rule out any software issues for sure.
You mention that re-booting the stock rom will UNROOT the phone...however I hav no way to currently re-boot the rom??
Also looks like i can not get into recovery now, when I select the option in the bootloader it just takes me to the screen with a picture of a device and a red triangle

Get a Memory Card adapter for PC or use anything that will let you connect your SD card to your computer... As soon as you put the *ORIGINAL STOCK ROM* in your SD card your phone will do everything by itself...

Hi there,
because of I have no permissions to post in the official thread of LeeDroid Gingerbread Version I have to do this here.
I read all pages but don't know if the language is now full patched, so that there is evertyhing in the choosen language.
At the moment I use LeeDroid 2.4, can I update without any problems? Full-Wipe required? Any changes on data-format required?

1. flashing radio
2. wipe cache+data
3. flash leedroid
As we are already talking about the latest version.
Is it possible to transfer any Login data of all my wifi networks?
Will there be a fix for a full german (and other languages) support in near future!?
For your question, I dont think so. Perhaps the keys for wifi are saved in a file, but in my opinion this file could be secured.
This was recently asked in the developer thread. We'll see...
I'm currently back to 2.4 and downloading the new 2.4.1
Yes me too
So as many people do at the same time ^^ online 50kb/sek ... with 1mbit connection -.-
Guys, Since i cant post also in dev section, I have to reply here. I need help. After flashing the leedroid 3.0 A2SD, It was just in the HTC screen for 10 minutes. After failing, I tried to restore 2.4 and I got a message "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" and hense, I cannot go back.
Tried to boot up and stuck at HTC screen. Now my phone is just sitting there...
Any help guys??

You have what is called a USB brick! It's happened to me too many times...
you will need to download the android sdk if you don't already have it, and then go to the android sdk 'tools' folder in the command prompt.
then type the following command 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' and then 'fastboot reboot'
problems you may have; 'adbwinapi.dll' something like that is not found - a quick search on google should find you what you need!

Doing the command prompts is not going to fix your phone yet; it is going to fix the problem you have where you 'Can't mount...' - this is the source of your problem. So if you have done the command prompts then you should be able to access your sd card from recovery and therefore restore the backup you made too; restoring the backup should fix the 'stuck on htc logo' problem you are having

Sorry to hijack the thread. But I have some questions on flashing GB 3.0.
My Desire info are as follows:
HBoot 0.93
Radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2
LeeDroid 2.4
I'm considering trying out GB 3.0 but i'm nto sure if the new rom can be supported on my phone (software info as above).
Will anyone the ROM work for me? Can my apps+data from Froyo 2.4 be restored back using Titanium Backup and work on GB 3.0?
I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE PAST HOUR PLEASE DON'T HATE!!!! I ALWAYS SEARCH WHICH IS WHY MY POST COUNT IS LOW!!!
K so here is my issue was installing an app and it just rebooted in the middle of the install and is now stuck in a bootloop on the white htc evo 4g screen but can still access the bootloader. have already tried flashing a pc36img.zip still nothing. if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it. and also can't access recovery.
Thanks in advance!!!
UPDATE:NO FIX!!!!!!!! guy at sprint repair store said to file a claim and get a new one, also said say it was lost since it was rooted.

If you can access the bootloader then you are not bricked. If you can get into recovery then the first thing that you should try is to wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache. If that does not work then something in your data partition may be messed up. The next step would be to wipe Data. You will lose all of you system settings and data by doing this and you will have to reconfigure your accounts and install all of your apps again. If you have a backup (using MyBackup or Titanium) you can restore that just be sure not to restore any system settings that were from a different ROM.

Hi,
I am fairly new to rooting (infact this is my first post).So,please be gentle if i am violating any rules.
I had put JELLY BAM on my GNEX and it was running fine. I tried partitioning my memory which did not go well so then I tried reflashing my ROM , which again did not go well and accidentally i deleted my ROM and all of my backups. So basically I am not able to use my GNEX .
I have no ROM and was only able to access bootloader and recovery menu (TWRP) . So i tried flashing it thru NRT(by wugsfresh) and since then I am stuck in bootloop(Was trying to flash stock JDQ39) & upon that I am back to stock recovery of android. Also, now PC is not ready to detect my GNEX as ADB device.
Please help me out, I am in dire need of it. Cant find a simillar issue any where else.
Thanks in advance.

put simply you probably trashed your partitions. you might have to use ODIN to repartition

I had a similar problem. I thought it was because my disk was partitioned-screwed. So I tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065470
It didn't work for me, but it's worth a shot for you. Give it a go.
Will try the ODIN method.
Also, do you think I am experiencing persistent boot-looping because I wiped off my 'system' (did it for the first time)
coz i have been flashing ROM's and kernels on weekly basis now and this has never happened before.
Still not working, tried the ODIN part also, still stuck in boot-loop.
I jus want to know what exactly is the problem here..!!
getting frustrated now.
Hi all,
Since I am facing difficulties flashing ROM. IF only someone can share a backup image of ROM (CWM/TWRP) with me I can get it restored and flash another ROM later on as need be.
You said you partitioned your memory. What exactly do you mean by this, what did you do?

I was trying to implement swapper on my gnex , which when failed led to this mess i am in currently.
hello,
This morning i was using my phone like every day, but i notice that i had no signal so i decided to restart the phone. When it restarted out of nowhere the phone started to boot loop.. i didnt do anything for it to start doing that.. after a long while trying to fix it i gave up and got into recovery and decided to clean install the rom. It did install but after 1 minute of being on the screen it would boot loop.. I download it the same rom and installed it and still kept doing the same thing.. i had a back up so i decided to install it which i did but again after 40 seconds of start up it would boot loop.. finally, i decided to use the LG Flash tool TWICE and it did work but again after a little while the phone turns off and on.. idk what lese to do??? any ideas?
Check if it displays your IMEI in the Settings. If not you should check if you've got a EFS Backup.

hello,
This morning i was using my phone like every day, but i notice that i had no signal so i decided to restart the phone. When it restarted out of nowhere the phone started to boot loop.. i didnt do anything for it to start doing that.. after a long while trying to fix it i gave up and got into recovery and decided to clean install the rom. It did install but after 1 minute of being on the screen it would boot loop..

OHH wow!! so im basically stock with a brand new phone that boots on and off ..Wow.. well if you ever find an answer can you please share it with me!!! thank you in advance.
I have no idea what kind of backup you are talking about but could we use it from another G2?
Maybe this will help you find out what a EFS-Backup is:

I've seen the question somewhere else (to use a backup from another g2) and they said, that it will boot but don't login into the network, cause you'll get a IMEI with 00000 or something like this.
Don't know a answer. I think I must send my G2 to LG and pay a lot of money IF they'll fix it.

OHH i see what you mean... I have added EFS backup to the IOroot scripts so that everyone that roots will have a copy of their EFS partitions on the computer you run IOroot from. Regardless, this current thread will still be a good "heads up" and an alternative for those who insist on using other shady root methods or for those who just want another way to back things up.
I did use IOroot, does that mean that if i connect it to the computer and try to root it again it would fix it? you think???

In the Thread is a step-by-step tutorial how to restore EFS-Files. Make a Backup of these 2 files before you root your phone again! Don't know, if those 2 files got overwritten (maybe with the damaged data) when you root your phone again.
Fixed my phone

Well just wanted to let you know that i sent my phone to LG for them to fix it. They didnt charge me and all they did was re-flash the rom. if you havent fixed it you should try sending it to them.
