My Desire Z seems to have suddenly gone into READ ONLY mode, It starts up fine with no problem ,but I'm unable to install anything new, and anything that seems to be deleted magically re-appears at the next boot.
I also am unable to Go to Recovery, and resetting the phone to factory default does absolutely nothing.
Any help will be apreciated!.

Did you tried to mount it on a computer?
Reboot without the SD card inside?
As you're not rooted, a fix permission can't be done...

Is this your problem? If so it should help: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...rd-mounted-read-only-can-t-write-sd-card.html

It's not the SD card that is readonly - it's the device itself, any Text message that is deleted reappears at the next boot, it is not possible to install anything new and a factory reset does absolutely nothing - the device just boots up the same as it was before the factory reset!.

Ok so, this is my first android phone and after being prompted to install the 2.2 update on my European htc desire, i downloaded and started it installing. It gets to about 23% and says process system unavailible and after reading what people said i cleared the phone and tried to install the update manually from the SD card. This didn't work
My phone currently does this
Will boot into what it says is 2.2 but with no wifi, no service, and no SD card showing up
then after about 5 minutes it will reboot.
I have no idea what i can do to fix this? could someone please help me, i'm a noob with android so a clear step by step would be much appreciated
anyone

how did you create a blank goldcard, i can't access my SD card on my phone while it's in the phone so how did you do it
Do you have a WIFI connection? I do, and did the OTA 2.2 upgrade over WiFi with no problems, on my Unbranded European HTC Desire.
If youre phone won't boot properly, there are a few answers; 1) Return in to HTC, they're getit working and back to you, 2) Return it to th place of purchase, 3) Root/reflash (but sounds like it might not be an option).

When I got in touch with HTC they wanted £50 to do a reflash, falsely accusing me of rooting my device..
was that 50$ to send it to them? or can they do it without having it there. Because if THEIR update screwed up my phone i don't see why i should have to pay for a fix
maybe a silly question but did you try a factory reset?

Tell me about it, so thankful I managed to fix it myself!
It sounds like you are alll applying an OTA update for the standard ROM to what was a branded device. There are lots of explanations as to how to fix this if this is the case
In summary
Download update from mentioned here
Copy this to root of your goldcard and rename to update.zip
Turn off phone
Turn on holding down vol down
Select Bootloader then Recovery (an image of device should appear with exclamation mark over)
In menu (sorry forgot how you get in, if it does not appear then try power+vol down or power + back). From there choose apply update.zip
Wait while update applied
After update select reboot and wait for device to boot

I've just tried this again, installation looked like it went through ok, rebooted and relaoded into sense, then it shows me a status bar counting, normally this gets to about 10% then says ?Sorry process system is not responing, so i can either click wait or force close, then in continues upto about 97% then reboots and reloads only to load a white screen showing htc and continues counting in percentages, gets to about 15% then says force close, then onto about 91% then reboots this goes on for a while until it just shows me a sorta bricked phone with no wifi, gsm or any real functionailty and it continues to reboot every 5 mins, back to where I started showing 2.2 as installed
One strange thing I have noticed is that my CID is
CID: 00000000000000000049E917D100A69E
Reversing CID
CID: 00A600D117E949000000000000000000
Can't find update.zip on SD card during recovery
Tried all this, thanks. Goldcard created using Gold Card Tool 0.0.5 (awesome job Klutsh) . I get the error message:
"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)" even though it is in the root dir when I look at the card on my PC.
Should it be in a directory called /sdcard ?

I had to format the card in a card reader in my PC, then use the Gold Card Creator mentioned elsewhere in the thread. You have to install HTC Sync because enough drivers are in there to at least allow the apps to 'see' the card at physical level, even if the bricked Android doesn't. Set the phone to USB debug mode in Settings/Applications - the phone stays 'on' long enough between reboots to do that and get a CID out of it! Then Gold Card Creator works well enough to get the CID from the SD.
I'm trying this again with a 2GB card to see if makes any difference.
Check folder settings when using windows

before post this thread i cheked all xda but anyone method did not help me
my problem is "scanning media files"
one day when i serfing inet my E975 has been rebooted
after load i got a first time boot start message
all data lost and phone ask me to set all setting from beginning
now i see alltime 'scanning media files'
I have tried the following: steps:
made hard resets - no effect
flashed using KDZ updater (E97510C_00, E97510a_00 E97510f_00) - no effect
used LGtool (selected recovery..inserted my IMEI and load) - no effect
and followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2010624
but problem haven't solved
always media scanning
cant try any ways like fleshing kernel, becose need fastboot mode
cant unlock fastboot, cos cant make root... anyone way to install root not work, cos no access to phone storage
someone told me i can try to do root with adb shell... but cant find how i can use this in my sutuation
I would be very thanksfull any help
i rly dont know what should i do next....
In the past I have a problem with media scanner message, always running in the background, although I had no problems about rebooting or soft-resets, it was only a message running in the background always. The way I solve it was to go into "almacenador de medios" (dont know in english, maybe something like "media store") in app manager, and then force stop, clean data and clean cache, reboot and after a first past again, all went ok. I suppose you continue with the message after reseting maybe because cache or dalvik cache is not clean.
Hope that help.

have you tried the lg pc suite?go to lg's site and download it and the connect your phone to pc in "pc suite" mode.then from there you can do an update or press the "emergency firmware recovery" under device menu.This will propably recover your phone.

already tried this
but problem havnt solved after "emergency firmware recover"
anyone knows how i can made root without access rights to sd card?
ways like "frameroot.apk" and via bat file "currentroot.bat" - not worked (all those methods need access to sd card)
or maybe there are any commands on ADB to reset or fix sd card?
i'm rly sad with my problem....
what is the model of your phone and ROM?
did You try go back to stock rom with LGMobile Support Tool?
I have same problem but it occurs when I flash to E97510D ROM (my phone is F180K):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246867
when I want to fix it, I make emergency firmware recovery in LGMobile Support Tool (and factory reset after this).
Maybe your motherboard is giving up
no... every time I go back to stock ROM, its working fine

Sounds like your internal storage is not mounting properly??
Just go back to "Official" firmware by kdz-ing and see what happen.
By going back to stock firmware, your data/sdcard will be format, maybe there's a corrupted file in there?? But you will loose all the stuff on your phone, you've been warned!!
Sent from my CM10.2 OGE973
Alright, hello everyone,
I'm having a pretty weird issue here. I've flashed my DUK-L09 and the C432B183 EU Firmware, everything was running fine.
I couldn't make a backup of the /data/ partition though, someone told me to wipe the data to decrypt it, but nothing came good after this.
So I tried to flash back the old recovery image by extracting it, flashing it via fastboot, as I would normally do; enter the factory reset, run it.
Everything is good, it goes up to 100% pretty fast, less than 2 minutes. I then enter the setup wizard the NFC is acting weird. It keeps activating
and deactivating illogically. So, ignoring this issue, I kept up configuring the phone then once I'm logged in Google and sync'd, pops a Huawei ID
logging page really really fast then goes back to the EMUI menu at the beginning of the Setup, in an infinite loop.
Useful information to let you help me better:
- Many firmwares. Currently trying to flash back to B120a and NoCheck from OldDroid and Morph. (Edit: Didn't work)
- Phone unlocked, TWRP accessible.
- Getting a weird "Error 9" when trying to run Update.zip from TWRP.
- Sideload working, but not transferring anything.
- Cannot find any B182 or B130 stock firmware. Everything seems to be gone from Huawei's servers.
- The loading logo isn't Honor anymore but Android, for a reason I can't yet understand.
- Restoring a clean backup (without /data/, since I couldn't back it up) did not fix the problem.
- Trying to update with the 3 buttons do not work, even with the right firmware (C432B183) (Software install failed)
- Factory reset works with the right ROM, but gets me to the setup loop issue.
- The loop occurs when I am supposed to see the Huawei ID setup page. If I do not put any SIM card, or WiFi
I am prompted to choose which way to restore data; if I skip this step, it blinks and doesn't do anything.
- I tried to restore via WiFi (Google's cloud stored data from my account), but it does the same thing as mentioned
earlier. It blinks multiple times rapidly the "Huawei ID" setup page then goes back to the first Setup screen w/o
me being able to do anything about that.
I'll be glad if you knew the answer to this, because I'm all lost right now.
Greetings, Kameyuu.
UP !
After many tries and a LOT of hard work, and spent an entire night (was about to spend the second night on this), I found the culprit and now I know what the issue is, it sounds completely legitimate.
So here are the reason and the solution to this issue:
Actually, my CUST was somehow broken. I never flashed it back because no one told me to flash the CUST.img back. They told me to flash BOOT, SYSTEM, and RECOVERY only.
So, after I downloaded a software called HUAWEI Multi-Tool (From hwmt.ru) I noticed they were also asking for the CUST.img and USERDATA.img (<- this one was apparently optional)
So, trying my luck I flashed it. Did a factory reset, and all, it acted weird and failed, then I tried again and it succeeded. So, with all my hope I booted the phone to the system, started configuring... And it worked !
I was able to set up the phone. For a -yet- unknown reason, some apps look missing and the NFC is still blinking on and off repeatedly and randomly, but I'm investigating that.
If you have any question on the precise steps feel free to send me a PM or ask in the thread directly I'll be glad to sort your issue out.
