Do you have TWRp recovery installed? Do you have root access?
If you have TWRP recovery and you can access it, then it's easy to recover your files
1) stop shouting and whining, noone will help
2) give detailed explanation of what you did

Have you tried flashing a new ftf using flashtool?
And I agree with points 1 and 2 of the poster above, if the data on your phone is THAT important you should always keep a backup - especially if you're arsing about with the OS...

I guess this should be considered abandoned?

Ok dude if you have root access you can save your data...
But if you don't have root access flash ftf rom with flashtool but UNCHEK THE WIPE OPTIONS in flashtool. Your data saved on internal storage.

Stuck At HTC White Screen :/ Bricked?

So I think i have officially bricked my Evo. Apologies if this is the wrong sections. Didnt know where to put it.
Well I had rooted with Simpleroot and everything was just fine. But when i tried to install a copy of the Fresh root suddenly i was stuck at the white screen. So i went into recovery and and wiped everything. I also partitioned the sd card... Dont know if i should have done that but i figured it would wipe everything.. It did and now my zip files are gone. I Dont know what to do.. Yikes
Help much appreciated .
Lol because lol

Probably shoulda gone into Q&A....but u erased all.the data on ur card when u formatted it. You should probably follow the root instructions again from the start including copying the files to your sd card and u should be fine.
You could have done a simple search and fixed ur issue.

Sorry I thought this my be the wrong forum section. I cant access my Sd card though?
Your Evo isn't bricked.
Select the USB-MASS toggle feature in recovery mode, that'll mount your SD card to your computer, then drop a ROM or two onto the root of your SD card, wipe, then flash one.
Or pull the SD card out and put it in an adapter and plug into computer, then drop a couple roms on it

Youre definitely not bricked. Pull the battery out, boot into fast boot, wait a sec while it does its thing, then select wipe/restore factory defaults. Then it should be fine. This happened to me 2 days ago. When bricked, the phone won't even turn on. It does nothing, thus the term.

Im sorry you feel that way maybe you need to hug from someone but not me. There was nothing rude or wrong with my posting. There are basic knowledge required to do what the OP wants to do and so I directed toward that direction. If you would like to continue to express your PERSONAL feelings please PM me.
Yeah Anyways. The problem now is that everytime i try and boot from a zip file i just get a white screen. Is there anyway to bypass this?

Which ROM's are giving you theses problems?
Ive tried the fresh 1.0.1 thats when it all started then i tried the EVO-NonSense.
I had been flashing roms before the Fresh one now im just stuck at the white screen.
Are you using Koush's Clockwork recovery? Try flashing Yay 4 Juggs ROM.
Im using the RA recovery that came with SimpleRoot
Yeah, just try flashing a different ROM.
Hmm i'll try. Is there anyway to earse my root and start over? Because for now im just get the htc Evo 4g white logo everytime i try and flash a new ROM
Did you update the radios and all that too? Did you make sure and use the right version of simple root for your software?
Yeah Yesterday I was flashing ROMS normally. Something may have happened when i tried to flash a radio and wimax

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBu6GsRZMdI Some random video I looked up on YouTube that shows you how to unroot. It's a hassle, to unroot, then root again, I'd give flashing a different another shot before I did that.
Stupid question: Are you wiping data and dalvik cache before flashing a ROM?

Download FlashTool from here.
Install it. Select the path C:\Flashtool to make it easy to find
Download the FTF file from here.
And copy it into the folder C:\Flashtool\firmwares
Now launch Flashtool by double clicking on the Flashtool icon.
Click the Lightning bolt button.
Choose Flashmode.
Accept all the defaults.
Wait until the animated display comes up showing you to turn off your phone and do what it says.
Allow the program to flash your phone back to Verizon stock.
When it reboots, you are totally back to stock again.
Now follow up with the threads in the Development section on how to root and install a custom recovery.
Good luck!

Did you backup your TA (Trim Area) with Omnius before you had these problems?
If not, your best bet is spending $24 with Alejandrissimo to fix your problems.
(It sounds like your TA is screwed up, so reflashing anything won't help (as you already tried))
(They had this problem when the R800x was first unlocked, but it hasn't reared it's head for a while)

Try using cwm and fixing permissions to see if that helps. It usually corrects a lot of those little errors

Is it overheating? If not then it's probably the system getting overloaded and the kernel taking a crap. It happens some times unfortunately

Mobile Locked

I my phone was locked, and I was requested to enter my google acc, so I did, but it was not recognized, My password is the same since I created my acc, never changed, so I had no solution than making a factory reset to get back my cell, but this is not a solution, since I have a small child and he always playing with the mobile, and this might happen again.
If anyone have an idea please feel free to ask any questions to make it clearer

that happens only when maximum password attempts has been reached.
when asked, you have to be connected to the internet coz verification is done online.
now if you want to avoid this from happening again, don't use any password or pin lock.
Dont use password

I have CM10 Alpha7 on my phone, and I have a Nandroid backup and already used it and nothing lost, my question here? What if my cell is not rooted? There should be a different way. That's what I wanna know,
if ur not rooted then ull simply root ur device through the stock recovery as usual then install the recovery and make ur nandroid backup or simply just format system and cache and re install the same rom so ur data won't b touched (im not so sure if it will help with removing ur lock but my guess is that it will), cuz if u go to SSC in egypt then they will simply tell u to format ur cell (they dont give a s**t for us bro)

But I guess this way the lock issue will be restored also, I'm only guessing. And the SSC like u said they don't care. This is not the solution I was looking for, but till now its the best answer, at least not telling me how stupid i was, thanks bro

I already made a factory reset, and flashed the ROM again, Luckily and thanks to a friend of mine who advised me couple days before this problem happens, he told me "Make a backup just in case" so I didn't lose anything, and now I made a new Image of my ROM, so what ever happens in the future I will just restore the whole ROM with the settings, but really thank you for trying to help, because every time I ask for help, I must find someone who gives me a frustrating answer, once I was asking about some stuff for my SGW, and someone named Frank said "Your phone isn't popular if you want help get a more popular phone" I felt like oO if you can't help why bother replying, so I really appreciate anyone who tries to help:good:

That error isn't important, unless you're trying to load something from a device connected via OTG cable. It's just letting you know that it's not finding the OTG storage, so if you need it you know to look into that. Flash the latest TWRP from Odin. Boot to recovery and factory reset, no Odin doesn't wipe. Then flash stock with Odin. See if you can boot and sit without looping. Don't screw with it, just let it sit for a bit and settle. Just watch for 5min or so to see if it loops. It's probably bad data and factory reset will fix it. The stock flash it just to make sure you have a known good base. If it doesn't loop in 5min or so, it's probably fine. If it does, try getting a logcat. There's not much anyone can do to help without more information at that point.
No signal and baseband unknown could be a corrupted EFS. You DID back that up didn't you? Does the IEMI show in the settings? Try booting without a SIM. If that's the problem, it might help.

How did you back it up? TWRP should be able to restore it if you used that. If not, I would need to find the partition number and you would use dd to write it. I've never had to mess with it on the Note 3. What's the filename of your backup file? You might need to decompress it first.
i used the efs backup tool posted somewhere here i also did a backup with a diferent tool the firstone gave me a efs.zip that contains a efs.raw.img and also a efs.tar files is that what i need ? i did the backup when everything was working normal

Can you hook the phone up to kies and do a restore that way? Just give it your serial number and it does the rest. It will restore all partitions including your efs. Have restored a couple friends phones this way which appeared to be unrecoverable in one way or another....

Sprint LG G2 Boot looping

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.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390
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
