I have tried to help root and install Cyanogen Mod Rom to my GF’s MyTouch. We got the phone rooted with no problem and able to access the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4. We then Flashed the roms appropriately (’HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip’ and then ‘update-cm-4.2.3.1-signed.zip’. When she boots, the phone now hangs when booting up. It goes to blank screen and stays there. We have tried to wipe and re-flash with the same results.
The only problem that I can think is that she formatted the SD card into three FAT-32 partitions instead of one FAT-32 and the others ext2/3/4. We are completely stuck now and do not know how to proceed (either fix the problem or revert to factory default). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
did you wipe the ext2/3/4 partition.
Hi all,
I had CM7 on my phone (nightly build #3), which worked just fine. Today, after a reboot, the phone wouldn't start. The CM7 logo shows up, stays there for a while, after which the screen turns black and nothing happens. I tried going into the recovery menu to do a restore of a working backup, I've tried wiping the data and cache, I've tried pretty much anything. Nothing seems to work. When performing the restore, I get the following error: "error while erasing boot image", along with some other errors about the phone not being able to mount the cache partition or something (see image below). The only thing that I've done before this happened, was to delete some stuff from the SD card, but it should've been nothing important, just some backups and downloads.
Any help would really be appreciated, as I can't use my phone at all right now.
Okay download an new rom on your computer. Go to recovery and mount sd card then tranfer the new rom to your sd card. Then flash new rom. See if that works
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Running MIUI, AmonRa. Phone was totally stable, today I was charging it and it refused to turn on. Pulled battery and when I turn on, its stuck on white htc Evo screen.
I can boot to recovery and see my old nandroid's and make a new one. I can S-OFF in recovery. Restoring the nandroid doesn't seem to help, its still stuck on white boot screen.
A few things to try:
1)Reboot to bootloader and select fastboot and reboot... have had this work before...
or
2)In recovery wipe everything then restore your nandroid.
or
3)Have a copy of the MIUI version you were on? In recovery, wipe system, then flash the ROM
LG optimus LTE WON"T BOOT
My Phone won't boot after try to install CWM. The touch buttons flash couples sec after press power but phone won't turn on. When i plugged in the computer, the computer recognize it but can't do restore. HELP PLEASE!!!
Ok I managed to debug this a little bit more.
Can get to recovery, but trying to restore nandroid's failed. I did this after wiping everything, doing a factory reset, and it still fails. When I tried to mount each partition individually, it failed to mount sd-ext with the error "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)".
I think this was the key, as I was using dta2sd on all my roms. Luckily I had another rom which was not using sd-ext, and I was able to restore that.
Is my sd-ext partition now lost? I can't check its status using the rom I have since it doesn't support sd-ext. Obviously all my apps were installed on it and I'd like to back them up.
The sd card itself seems fine, I can see everything on it.
I was actually going to post about this, thanks for doing it for me man.
Even with sense roms just restarting the phone will get me stuck at the htc evo 4g white screen and I have to wipe all data and factor reset just to get it to boot up again but i loose all my stuff and it really sucks. My phone only has recently started doing this, any ideas on what I can do to fix it?
I tried what imhereoldman said, but that just fixes it till the next time where it does the same thing after restarting the phone and im really getting tired of it :/

I just found this and it sounds like it will be a pain but should solve the issue trying it out now and il let you know how the unroot reroot goes...
You don't have to unroot. Just run the RUU for your phone.
Also, try to do a backup of your SD Card, reformat it (Sorry if you don't have a TB backup), repartition, then restore the backup and reflash the ROM after a thorough and complete wipe.
Thanks hipkat, I should have done more research on it, I did the un-root to. But I did run the RUU file and switched to AMON this time and it seems everything is cleared up and its running fine! thanks
Help, I have no idea what happened. I have a tab pro 10.1 t520. It's rooted with twrp recovery.
Today and game I tried to play kept crashing, so I rebooted into recovery and attempted to wipe the cache figuring might help. Well after it sat on that wipe screen for about 5 min it rebooted, got to the Samsung startup screen, and just hangs there. I'm able to boot into recovery, but now when I go to wipe I get a bunch of errors that it's unable to mount the /cache or the /data.
Help?! I have backups but it says i have 0mb internal storage and fails.
Nevermind got it back.
Bumping this to ask how you got it back? I've got the exact same issue produced almost the same way! Can't find any info on it except for other devices.
Hey I just restored my backup.
Ah crap I don't have one
Well, fixed it as described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...help-e-unable-to-mount-data-recovery-t3149906
Leaving it incase someone else encounters the same problem and does not have a nandroid backup.
Make sure your recovery is the latest 2.8.7.0 for the future
Phone Gt-N7105t Note 2
Issue turned on and gave error with data and to click to reboot to recovery and wipe data.
Tried this had twrp installed. Didn't work so I flashed it again and it booted. My issue is I now have lost all internal sd contents and /data partition (SMS etc).
Tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705
The result was only what you would expect from a fresh flash.
I am wondering if anyone knows a way of recovering data after flash (like hdd) which could work.
I really want to get as much back if possible.
Also does anyone know how much google/Samsung backups get?
Thanks in advance.
