Eris can't restore or flash?? Help please - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so i loaded up Tazz's CM6 Froyo V3 only to find my A2SD wouldnt work on it. Never having used Nandroid RESTORE before i chose a Evil Eris 2.0.1 backup i had. restored. And i'm stuck in a boot loop.
So i battery pull. And flash the 2.0.1 like i normally would any other ROM. well im still stuck in a boot loop...... can anyone help me????

I rooted a friends eris today and flashed senseable and got stuck in a boot loop. It was a refurb with the 1.49 bootloader so I decided to put the engineered bootloader (1.49.2000 or whatever it is) on it then I installed the original root rom via fastboot and it booted up normally. Could be different circumstances though.

If you are still able to access the recovery menu try to do a Data / Factory Wipe and a Dalvik-Cache Wipe. once done load a different ROM onto your sd card and flash or try your nandroid backup again. if you are still having issues PM me or find me on irc.andirc.net #droideris, or the web client chat.andirc.net

[H] Can't boot up upon Htc Quitly Brilliant screen

Hey, i have an rooted HTC Hero with froyo 2.2 VillianROM.
I've found a ROM on xda and wanted to put it on. so i'd copied the zip file to the sdcard. Entered Recovery mode (my recovery image is the ps3 hackable image for jailbreaking) update went good, so i've selected the reset my device. Htc Hero logo's come up, and then the boot animation with HTC Quietly Brilliant Comes up. Animation goes smooth, and it is HERE that the problems occurs. Afterwards the phone is stuck in this mode, and it have been stock for more than an hour!
So what do i do now? Install a new ROM?
Sorry if there's a thread similar to this.

Try to download this ROM one more time and put it on your sdcard again. Then try to flash your Hero with this ROM. Maybe sth went wrong during downloading file.
If this won't help, try another ROM.

I can't put any files on my Micro SD Card. Tried to enter recovery mode and re-install the same ROM again but didn't work. Same problem as the last one.
Copy ROM file on sd without using phone - put card in card reader in your PC. Did you make full wipe?
Didn't make full wipe, have found a floyo ROM and installed it buy using my freinds htc desire i was able to switch the sdcard's so that he could copy the files to the card. (this time i wiped the device)
ohh wait... IT'S ALIVE! just in this moment it worked!
Always make backup and full wipe before flashing different ROM

When you say a backup do you refer to the nandroid backup
he indeed is referring to nandroid, i never do it cuss im a flasher like mad, so i set up a new rom in minutes.
But backup then do a full wipe, including dalvik, and then install the new rom, even if its the same base, just full wipe, my advice.
When i try to do a nandroid backup, it takes foreverto do i'll always end up taking the battery out...
thats why i dont do backups on my phone, not the patience
Hehe
but atleast my phone works now!
i never have problem while doing nandroids.

Hello!
I have a similar problem.
After flashing a 2.2 rooted rom (can't remember which one), i wanted to return bak to SenseHero 2.1 b5, but it always gets into boot loop.
First i tried nand restore-didn't work, then full wipe and flash again-didn't work.
Then i tried other 2.1 rooted roms (Kimera, cronos droid), but always end up in loop at boot.
Only 2.1 roms I can boot into are villain, modaco which I do not really like, and STOCK 2.1.1 rom which is terrible. I want SenseHero 2.1 back, or CronosDroid
I did a full wipe before flashing 2.2, I always do full wipe before flashing ROMs so I don't know what's the problem.
Even tried adding flykernel 10/11c over fresh sense hero 2.1 flash, but didn't help.
I think that the problem startet when I flashed new recovery 1.7.0.1, but i reverted back to 1.6.2, and flashed sense hero, but it didn't change anything.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Don't think that the recovery image-change has anything to do with it. I had an ps3 recovery image (for jailbreaking) and i was able to get into the phone from there.
i putted a new rom on to the sdcard, totatlly wiped the device, installed the rom, and reseted the device (i did tough this proces serveral times before it finally booted up!)

[Q] Eris Bootloop help

I cannot figure out what to do, I have my phone rooted using the gscript method which worked fine,I made a nandroid backup then i flashed EvilEris rom onto it which also worked fine but it would not save contacts , so i decided to do a nandroid restore and now it is stuck at the boot screen with the 3 skating androids.
I think if I put the stock eris rom with root access on my sd card and reflash it , it will fix the problem.
Does anyone know how to help?

Did you do a full wipe (Data/Factory Reset) and Dalvik before flashing? Try it again doing those steps first, and/or try another ROM like xtrSENSE.
Sorry I figured it out and havent had a chance to check back in
All I did was put my old sd card in which contained the zip for evil eris
reflashed then put my new card in and its working good so far
thanks!

[Q] 2.6nv to 2.7v super clean wont boot

So i decided to make the jump from nv to voodoo and I was excited, but before I knew it i messed up my phone. I upgraded to the new cwm 3.0.0.8 and cleared and wiped everything then flashed sc 2.7v now when I boot up it just sits at the samsung logo. If I battery pull I can still get into cmw, but when I try and flash anything else I have on my sd card it wont let me because of the new version of cwm. I tried to do a restore because I made a back up right before I flash 2.7v but then I get stuck on the honeycomb animation screen. I figure if worse comes to worst I can flash it with odin when I get home. Just wondering if any one else ran into this or has any suggestions because I would like to try voodoo again when I get this fixed.
Thanks in advance
Jake
If you check the thread where you got the rom you will see that 2.7 has been taken offline untill further notice. you should reflash 2.6 and than try to restore that nandroid.
good day.
I was under the impression that the 2.7nv was the one not working. Well be that as it may I was going to just flash back to 2.6 but the new cwm dosent support it anymore now that it is orange. Thank you for the fast response none the less.
Fixed this......put my sd card into an mp3 player that is also a usb drive and re downloaded an old cwm (the green one) and that let me get at my sc2.6nv. Yay.

[Q] Can't restore nandroid backup

I have a samsung fascinate that I've had for a week. I rooted a few days ago then installed the orange clockwork. Since doing alot of reading I then installed the red "all" clockwork and then installed the stock leaked froyo rom. Everything worked fine. I have 2 backups of the eclair and just made one of froyo. I decided I wanted to go back to eclair and it will not restore. It just gets stuck at the samsung logo for over 30 minutes. None of my backups will restore, eclair or froyo. I've tried several times. I have the red clockwork recovery which is suppose to be the "all" one that I flashed with Odin. It says CwM Voodoo Lagfix recovery v2.5.1.x. Is this the wrong clockwork? I have not installed any voodoo or lagfix of any kind. When I try to restore my nandroid backup this is what I do, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition, then wipe dalvik cache, then restore my backup. I'm coming from a droid incredible which was a piece of cake to back up and restore and those are the steps needed to do a restore on it. Do I need to do something different with the samsung? It won't even get past the samsung logo when I do a factory reset in clockwork. I don't know how to get to the stock recovery to do a factor reset from there. The only way I can get the phone back working is to install froyo thru clockwork using install from sd card.
I have noticed that everytime I try to restore a backup it never restores boot. i know it always restored boot on the incredible and i would assume it needs to with this phone too. Any suggestions as to why I can't restore a backup or even do a factory reset??

For whatever reason I typed captivate instead of fascinate. I'll edit that.
Another thing I noticed this morning is even after doing several data wipe/factory reset and then installing the leaked froyo I still have all my apps installed and even my non g mail email account is already set up, this should not be. Does anybody have any clue what I'm doing wrong?? I would really like the ability to restore back ups with this phone.

There was an issue with specific versions of CWM that might be your issue?

I read thru that and he doesn't have a link for the Odin package so I don't know how I'm suppose to do what he says. Maybe I just need to unroot, get rid of CWM and go back to complete stock and start the root and CWM process all over.
There should be an odin package still in Jt's link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
It was updated at the end of march and worked for me this morning when I did a reset back to DL09 and up...
"Q: After I enter CWM, it says I am at version 2.5.1.x. Does that mean I'm on the correct version?
Unfortunately, the last several updates have been minor bugfixes, and the version number has stayed at 2.5.1.x. Hopefully this will be remedied soon. An easy way to check is to go to "Advanced" menu. If you don't see "Enable Puzzle LockScreen", then you are on the newest version (this menu option was removed because it has not been functional for a long time)."
Is the bit I was referring to, should help you figure out if you have the right CWM.
The CWM I had still has the enable puzzle lock screen. I just flashed the tar file in the link you just gave me with odin and it still has enable puzzle lock screen. What am I doing wrong?
Ok so after I flashed the tar from the link you gave me I did a restore from a nandroid backup and it worked fine. I'm totally confused but hey it worked. I thought the latest cwm shouldn't have the enable puzzle lock screen?? And does all this mean I just didn't have the latest cwm version??
Wish I could tell you there, someone with a smarter head on their shoulders might know.
I just checked my own CWM that I flashed from the tar this morning and I do not have the puzzle lock. Can't tell you much more than that.
That makes no sense. Oh well. Thanks for the help!!
newer fascinates are stock loaded with the puzzle lock screen

[Q]Cyanogenmod 10, stuck on boot screen (dual core)

I recently installed the Cyanogenmod 10 ROM to my Droid x2. It was done correctly, and was working fine for about a week. But, it is currently stuck on the boot screen whenever I try starting it up. This is what I think happened: After a while, I realized that I had never installed Bootstrap recovery, over CM10. I checked on the Official ROM page, and saw that the bootstrap recovery for CM7 worked on CM10. I had to leave, and didn't have time to install it.
Later that day though, While looking through my SD card contents, I realized I had a Bootstrap apk on it. Without thinking, I went ahead and installed it (I believe the problem is that it was Bootstrap for 2.3.4, the one I first used to install CM7, on the way to CM10) I brought up the app, and installed recovery. I did not automatically restart my phone after, and carried on. Later on, while texting, the phone crashed without warning, and tried to restart. It failed to start up, leaving me where I am currently.
I've tried rebooting with the phone unplugged, with the phone plugged into a wall charger, and with the phone connected to the computer.
Also, Standard Android recovery fails to start. It gets stuck on "Starting RSD protocol support".
My question is... Does anyone know how I could regain access to my phone? I did NANDroid backup, but, I have no way of accessing and installing the backups, while locked out of my phone.
If you can't access stock recovery then you'll need to SBF... once back on 2.3.4 you can root, isntall BSR and then restore the backup you created.
Yes, I agree. You can sbf, root, install normal bootstrap, and restore nandroid. Then you can install the cm7 bootstrap. I've used it with cm10 a2 and can confirm it does work with it. I didn't like cm10 so I went into the cm7 bootstrap and restored my cm7 nandroid backup. Shouldn't be too hard for you to restore your phone. Good luck.
