BRICKED(or almost) my find7a ..some help?(adb format?) - Oppo Find 7 and 7a

Hi guys,
this morning i had to the brilliant idea to go from OMNI 4.4.4 LVM into ColorsOs (chinese version) 4.4.4(not lvm..)
i did a complete wipe and COLOROS worked
but since there were few things i didn't like i wanted to re install my Nadroid backup..
so i went in recovery wiped all and re installed nandroid backup but IT FAILED
Basically the things is UNABLE TO MOUNT INTERNAL SD
i can ADB mobile on windows but (if i remove external sd card) not partition is seen
there is a way i can solve? did i just brick my phone? or i can create this internal sd card?? I can go in recovery and use ADB
thanks for you help

LITTLE UPDATE
i USED my nandroid backup and from it i could install just the BIOS .. and i've got back my OMNI ROM but internal partition is only 2,9GB
so how can i get back all normal from this point? like REVERSE LVM or reinstall it ??
or jsut format partition..
thank you all !

Ok.. I solved it... Main problem seemed to be that I went from a lvm rom to a Not LVM... so I used 2 files to revert and recreate lvm.. In the end I've got my rom back to work

[Q] noob question before rooting...

Just about to root and install a custom rom but have a few questions:
I know how to root by using paul's r6 method, and also how to install a rom but my question is, I have tried searching and cant find an answer:
I want to use A2SD+, have an 8Gb micro sd card installed, which i have backedup on my PC but how to i prepare this for A2SD+?
I also have an old radio, how do i update to the newest radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20? i have downloaded the file but not sure what to do
can anyone help?
cheers and sorry if this has been covered but i couldnt find it
Easy way:
Once you root, install ROM Manager from the Market and tell it to partition your SDCard.
Hard(er) way:
Use ADB. When I tried this I just got errors about it not being able to find the partitioning thing so someone else will have to help with that.
how to use ADB way? isn't this sub-forum wrong to ask these?
should be only for development questions

Great thanks, what about installing the new radio? do it first or root first, custom rom then new radio? what order?
»You go into recovery (start the phone with volume down and power held down)
Then do a nandroid backup, wipe the phone, and choose flash rom and radio. Your rom.zip should be on the root of the sd card. It's worth backing up the sd card too and repartition it into 0 swap; 512mb ext2 and the rest fat32 form recovery if you want to use apps2sd.
So back up sd and phone via windows and titanium backup
then boot into recovery
nandroid
partition
wipe / factory reset
install rom
install latest radio
reboot phone
restore sd card contents & restore via titanium«
ok thanks
so just by rooting it doesnt erase my data? e.g. contacts etc?

cache.img
data.img
nandroid.md5
recovery.img
system.img
we need that to restore his system.
or are there any other methodes to run his system, we don't know why the sdext not worked....
we need help very fast, please help!!!!
thanks a lot
I have these backed up on my SD card & PC too. But I'm afraid it has some private stuff also backed up.
I reccomend you installing a stock rom again and root it (installing a stock rom unroots your phone).
Like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918939 Be sure you use the latest ROM and read the full thread!
Also why don't you try another rom, see if it works? ANd make sure you wipe all data (factory/cache dalvik)
how we should install that when we can go only into recovery mod, we can go to sd card but the link you give to us, there is only a rom with is a exe.
can you give us a deteiled introduction? we aren't so good in these things :S pleaase help.
edit2: we can't start the phone so we can't chose htc sync...
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
The tutorial and ROM you should use:
http://www.mediafire.com/?bbb7m2b4t5jejhm
If you can't start the phone, then search the forum here for solution...
the problem is, we dont have android on the phone now, no datas nothing, we can pnly good to recovery mod...
we need to install a backup or something from recovery that we have a system on our phone....
so we should need help! ((((((((
edit:
an idea nagypapi :
maybe you can backup you data now, then wipe all your data and flash a completly new rom, then you can make a backup from the completly new rom and than you can give us the backup files bacause these data are without you personal information, thats the one chance ,,,please.....
Download leedroid noA2sd, boot in to recovery, mount the sd, copy the rom to the sd, unmount and flash the rom. You can use a other rom than leedroid if you want but for now just use it.

A possible solution here in post no.7:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
Also I can do the thing you suggested to create the files , but since now I am not at home upload would take forever...
Also try first installing the NOA2SD LeeDroid rom.
+ What Rom You want to install? Does it need an ext 2/3/4 partition, maybe that's the cause, also make sure your SD is formatted to FAT32.
Yes I think its the fat, I try it home later.
The main problem was that we can't mount the SD could. Not mounted in the recovery ... I say it already at the top...

Yeah, you must make an ext partition on the FAT32 SD card, and it should work.
Can I make that with ubuntu?
Ok then I have two partitions on the sdcart (4gb).
On which partition should I have all my folders?
On which partition should I have my zip data (rom) ?
;D you make me hope

Your error is related to a missing ext partition, since the phone doesn't boot i assume you tried to install a sense HD rom. What it said a the top is mounting the ext partition failed, I'm talking about mounting the normal fat partition as mass storing to copy the rom onto the sd card. If that also does not work, take out the sd card put it in a card reader and copy the rom on to it, the put sd back and flash leedroid. This will give you a booting device.
If you want to make and use a ext partition make sure you first have the fat and then the ext3, all files should be on the fat partition and there is no need to do anything else to the ext partition.

I suggest using GParted for that or anything that works in Ubuntu.
If you have another Android device (i bet you have ) you can dowload ROM manager form the Market and use that to create partitions / format card (it is easier).
"Partitioning your SD Card ready for A2SD+
* Backup all data on you SD card (this will be wiped)
* The card should be formatted with your standard FAT32 partition 1st followed by an EXT2/3/4 partition
* Linux users use GParted or a similar software.
* For everyone else I would recommend using Rom Manager
* Once you have downloaded ROM manager from the market, open the app and click partition SD Card, Select your EXT size (512MB or 1024MB recommended) and set 0mb for swap
* Restore your data to your SD and the job is done."

[Q] Sd card problems

Hi guys, sorry for the newbie question but here I go. Just now I decided to flash a new ROM so I do what I normally did before I flash a new ROM (backup my sd card contents and do a nandroid backup). After I done those, I reformat my sd card using my laptop and place the ROM I wanted into the sd card. After I flash the ROM I get stuck in the HTC screen and my backup doesn't work but luckily I manage to revive my Desire. After that I notice that my previous partition that I made using gparted is gone and that's why the ROM didn't work at first. So, am I still able to recover my lost partition from my sd card or they are gone for good?
If you have a working nandroid backup, you can try to recreate your partitions first and restore then.
Windows laptop? The reformat using will have wiped your Ext partition. As said recreate fat32 and Ext using Gparted and restore nandroid (assuming under AmonRa or 4Ext recoveries you included sd-ext) or flash new Rom.

Looks like u didn't perform a full wipe... Via recovery...
Nd by full wipe I mean cleaning cache, dalvik cache, sd-ext, etc...
No need to format the sd card before flashing a new Rom....

I did the full wipe via recovery but I reformatted my sd card using my laptop and I think that's the problem since the process wipe out everything including the partitions I made before. And thanks for the answer, greatly appreciate

Yes, a windows laptop and unfortunately it has wiped my previous partition. I did manage to partition it again but I found out that my sd card size is reduced. So does the reformat process wipe out my old partition for good or I still can somehow recover back my lost partition?

Although I'm not an expert in partitioning but I can provide some info about this. Firstly, how you partition your sd card (gparted, rom manager or other methods)? And which partition you made (EXT3/4)?

The ext partition itself is gone, but if you re-partition using Gparted, copy your sd card backup from laptop onto sd card, then providing your nandroid included sd ext backup a restore should get you back to where you were.

Copy a ROM to an SD card, put it in your phone, flash it in recovery.

I do not have any MicroSD cards..
Using a microSD card would be the easiest method to load a ROM; otherwise, you would have to load a ROM onto the internal memory and flash from there.
