Is ther such thing like a bootable SD card? I mean completely bootable, without using xda bootloader?
My bootloader is gone
System stuck in Tmobile screen with version numbers at the bottom and not going further.

Hi everyone !
So I'm willing to flash my software to CM9 by zeubea, but I don't get it to flash the rom.
I am currently on "CyanogenMod-7-08132011-NIGHTLY-Legend", I've had my legend since the beginning, I've flashed it hundreds of times but now I haven't flashed it for over a year.
I created a goldcard back then, but now I've got an 8gb card inside, still have the goldcard though.
What I've tried so far, reboot into recovery with the goldcard and the 8gb card, both give me the same result.
A red symbol appears onto the screen, remembering me back in the days when I didn't have a goldcard.
Could it be that my phone is unrooted some how (after the last flash or someting) or that my goldcard isn't a goldcard anymore...
I'm pretty sure it is still rooted, cause its still possible to use apps which require superuser...
Hope anyone can tell me what the F I'm doing wrong... (and yes I've used search, but I only read the titles).
Regards,
Dirk
This is a noobs error :banghead::banghead::banghead:
Use volume up and power button to get to recovery.
Oh and your going to need the recovery.zip on your SD card too.
Once your phone is rooted you don't need gold card.
If you did a search on Google using the phrase "android and red triangle" you would have found the answer.

I knew it was a noob question , but thanks for the reply.
The method to get into recovery is the same I used, but the update.zip was the part I was missing.
Fixed !
Thanks a lot !!!
Hi all,
So my phone won't boot past the white HTC screen. I'm able to boot into recovery, but that's it. I'll go into recovery and try to flash an assortment of ROMs, but it never gets past the HTC screen. It gets to the HTC screen, stays there for 15 seconds or so, then reboots back into the screen.
I'm 1.4 S-OFF. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Twist: When I boot it with the SD card in, it doesn't work.
When I boot it with the SD card out, it doesn't work.
BUT When I boot it with the SD card out, then slide in the SD card while the white HTC screen is on, then it boots. Wtf. Anyone have any ideas?
first thought, did you wipe cache/dalvik/data?
second, GSM or CDMA?
if all else fails just run a RUU to get things back to a functional state

I've tried wiping everything, flashing AOSP ROMs, Sense, all of them. I'm CDMA.
Something else: When I install 4EXT recovery, I can't boot into recovery. It gives me white screen reboots like in the OP. But when I'm on Clockworkmod, I can boot into recovery.
Gonna try a RUU when I get home :\
Did you do anything just before this started happening? For instance, did this problem start immediately after you tried to flash a new rom?
I'd be really interested as to why you were able to get it to boot by putting the SD card in mid-boot. I honestly have no idea if an SD card is required for an android phone to boot (never had a need to try). Are the connections on your SD card, or that port, somehow degraded or dirty?
the card is not needed, all boot relevant info is in the phone itself.
it's unlikely that the problem is in the card slot, I would have to assume that the problem is software related, maybe it's trying to read some data it doesn't have access to? mind you it still wouldn't hurt to try and check the card for errors (an external card reader would come in handy)
ok, just out of curiosity, when you go into CWM and clear: cache then dalvik then cache and data, do u get an error after it's done?
how'd the RUU go?
I accidentally formatted my internal sd card hard drive and it is completely empty.
I unlocked boot loader and was well on my way to perm root and all that awesomeness thanks to hasoon2000's amazing tool kit and I was too impatient to wait for my friend who has had years of rooting and developing experience to come over and at least supervise my attempt when I decided I wanted to try jellybean now... I couldn't wait. Ugh. I was still s-on and I tried using the ext4 recovery to install zip from sd card and being the noob that I am (over confident noob) I screwed it up. Came across the white HTC boot screen got scared and tried factory restore from recovery and boot loader ... when I plugged in to my Pc it said h drive unreadable until I format so I did from my Pc. My friend showed up and knew when I didn't answer my phone that it was bricked... not knowing I screwed it up this bad. After 4 hours and many failed attempts he has given up on me. Does anyone have the answer to this mess of fudge up?

Just flash a RUU for your carrier (make sure it's not an OTA) The search button is your friend. I would suggest you to read through the Amaze bible, as it explains everything you need to do.
Same happened to me I simply downloaded an official ruu for the firmware and stuff I was on, but it on a backup SD card renamed it to P85im.IMG or whatever its called, threw it in my phone let it flash and tadaa my phone was back to normal!!!!!

I am in charge of several nook tablet (16gb) devices, these devices all run on the cyanogenmod nightlies. I fixed a problem with one of them recently, After fixing the problem I noticed it needed an update. After performing the update the tablet refused to boot (either shutting down before or sometimes during the bootloader).
Rather than flash back to the previous update my genius mind decided to try flashing the acclam_update zip and then flashing back to cm. The first half of this worked out well enough and I got the tablet on stock B&N software. However when I loaded the device I realised my error. some time ago I had flashed the updated touchscreen firmware that was included with the rom. Before flashing acclaim I should have flashed stock touchscreen firmware but did not, rendering the nook's touchscreen useless on the current software. Additionally (though I was aware this would happen) I now have the stock recovery mode instead of CWM.
I have struggles with adb as it is (I originally used a bootable CWM sd card for these devices but have since cleared that sd card) and I'm fairly certain I need access to the screen to use it on this device (I believe I need to activate something in the developer settings.)
So that's my problem. If anyone knows what I should do please help me out. If you need more info tell me what you need and I'll do my best to put it up here.

Just now experienced the same problem. I've been trying to get my nook to boot from SD for the last couple hours and nothing. Tried booting tethered to my laptop, the factory wall charger, etc. It's a stock Nook Table with the 10point touch driver...meaning completely unusable. Could you post what tools you used if you get it working?

What sd card are you using? Do you have another one to try? Are you using the image I linked to or something else?

Just used a 4gb class4 through a memory stick reader. It's working beautifully now, except I need to repartition it.
Interesting bug though, the home button won't take it out of sleep any more. Only the power button..?
Hello,
probably you might say "flashing is your risk" soo it took the risk, but the problem is i had original rom, but im unable to flash it, i tried recommened tools like Phoneix, Live tools and etc with 10 roms, no success...
I flashed wrong TWRP and that bricked my recovery with cyanogen mod 11.2 and now im stuck with plastic here, i tried flashing via bootlable micro sd card but as i try to make it, nothing shows into SD card even my sd card is fully functional, and im using adapter (sd card to larger SDHX, whatever its called), can anyone suggest me roms or how do i do it?
Board model number is tw a0721r v32
Thank you.
