Hi guys,
Let me start off by just saying I've been rooting and roming for 3 years with my old G1 and this has never happened to me before. Last night as most crack flashers do I was changing roms. I was going from DroidTheory's Axiom to Miui. I was carrying out this rom flash as any other. I nandroid backed up my current rom just incase anything out of the ordinary were to happen and I wiped before actually flashing the rom as well. This time though I was a bit suspicious when actually wiping. I got the normal date-wipe and cache-wipe messages after telling the recovery to wipe my phone but it also said it wiped my sd-ext which of course is my external sd card. I didn't think of it as anything then of course so I just carried on and flashed the rom and restarted. After restarting I was pretty much just stuck on the Moto dual core splash screen for about 20 minutes so I tried rebooting into recovery. To my dismay it never did boot into recovery but kept going back to the red moto logo. I decided to check my sdcard by plugging it into my laptop and again to my alarm there was nothing on the sdcard. This is the first time after trying over a hundred roms on my 6 different android devices owned that something like this has happened. Never before has my recovery actually wiped my sd card when I just chose the factory reset option. What's even worse is that now I can't get RSD lite working since my battery is low. This was never a problem on my Motorola Milestone when I used RSD lite since I could physically remove the battery and put it in a external battery charger. So now I turn to you my trusty XDA community. What should/can I do. My battery is too low to carry out RSD and I can't boot into recovery at all or access any of my nandroid backups because the recovery actually wiped my sd card. Somebody please help. I do not want to lose my baby like this. I've been a crack flasher for years and something like this has never happened to me. I have a Rogers XT910 if that helps at all. Please help a fellow XDA crack flasher find a solution

Hello, i currently own a HTC EVO 3D GSM, fully rooted and S-OFF'd.
I'm running stock rom, without any major modifications.
Earlier today i was doing a nandroid backup, just before wanting to try out LeeDroid ROM. The nandroid went through just fine, then i rebooted the phone on to do a titanium backup & sync to my dropbox.
Now i used my app "Hot Reboot" to simply do a reboot into bootloader.
The app didn't work (dont know why), so i closed it down and did a manual shut down and then battery pull.
When i put the battery in, and tried to boot the phone into bootloader, it didn't start.
I tried to do a normal boot, didn't start.
I tried to plug it into my charger. The light didn't turn on.
I removed the back cover, removed battery, SIM card, SD card and tried to get rid of any possible dust (i was kind of panicing here).
Put it all back in, same result.
I tried switching SD card to my old stock 8gb sdc4 sandisk. This time it finallly booted and everything worked like before.
I turned the phone off, and replaced the 8gb SD card with my 32gb SD card. Now this also worked fine.
I have no idea how or why this happened, but if anyone could shed some light on why/how it happened? Maybe i could avoid it happening again, because i was kinda freaking out when i thought i had a possible brick.

Continuum Brick?
I have been reading since 2pm today. I'm lost in threads and advice about a bricked phone. I have a Continuum that shows a fuzzy screen. I can't see to get a download mode. The options are off or pixelated/fuzz screen. Is soldering still required? I was attempting to use CWM. I am not sure bad cable or what but it went down hill. My Win7 PC shows 0bytes free on the Continuum. I apolgize if this is the wrong area for my questions. I successfully rooted an Epic and a Kyocera Echo without too much trouble. I appreciate any thoughts, comments, and suggestions. Thanks in advance!!
This is my sister's phone so I may not be alive in the morning j/k
Today I have downloaded Ubuntu, Android SDK, One Click Unbrick, Resurrection, Java, and a host of other Android related files. I was SO sure all my clicking would bring me back to stock.
ok, here comes the story.
i know you guys hate when we open new forums, but this here is a topic that i have been dealing with since about 2 weeks ago.
also, i wanted to thank you all for your help,ever since than...
the problem started as i said, few weeks ago. i have an s2, i tried to install a rom, and an error occued. the problem was know that i needed to factory reset and wipe the data from the phone in order to boot the phone. this was not possible due to an internal error (i got sucked), later on, i also discover that the problem i faced was due to the partions inside my phone.so, i tried to fix the partions, but i was unable,until i found a thread here dealing with the same problem on Note 2. so after a lot of work, i was able to repartion my internal memory (lost 6 GB) to fix partions 9, and 10. once that was done i was able to wipe data and factory reset.the problem was now that i was unable to install any rom using odin except CM10 which stucked also at the end of the process. but luckily for me i was able to get into the recovery of CM10 and i installed from the restriction remix rom. after wiping and factory reset, i was finally able to boot successively into the home-screen.
now, my phone seams to have swamped the internal and external memories. in the build in device manager of rr-rom, i only see my memory card labeled as internal. but this is not the big deal. the real problem is that this phone constantly keeps on restarting itself from time to time. so, it shut down from alone, tries to boot up, gets stucked at the logo, reboots itself several time in the same way, until in finally boots successively,
any help??
ah, i just wanted to add a funny fact, which is that on the day i fixed my phone,i accidently dropped it in the toilet (it fall from my pocket, no bad ideas please, it was fully at random from alone). i manged to save it also at that day. so, i some got a feeling that this phone just don't want to get repaired
Reinstall stock rom and start from scratch.

Well I have seen some ridiculous generic topic titles in my time (like "Help" and "Help please" etc) but this topic with its complete lack of a title just takes the crown as the most idiotic.
Okay, I want to start by saying I am truly sorry if this has already been looked at. I truly spent 20 minutes searching and could not find anything that address this problem.
Im going to give you the long story because, I am actually really in need of help.
My friends owns a droid x2, ?.?.5 (sorry I cant honestly remember but, its the gingerbread ending in .5)
Her husband decided to root her phone for her, and it was in Chinese and only had a partial root. Frustrated she brought it to me because, well I have a working knowledge of google, this forum, and have flashed and rooted many phones.
I managed to change the language, and root the phone (using DX2_batchroot), I installed a custom recovery (its an apk ), I also think I installed the Recovery BSR (that will make sense in a second)
I booted into custom recovery, I made a backup. Then I went about wiping caches so I could install a custom rom. I wiped all the caches, I formatted the internal memory, and then I accidentally hit "boot now".
The phone gets the the "M" and says "Failed to boot 1"
If I try holding the power and down button it just flips off completly.
I cant scroll thru the menu, I cant get the computer to acknowledge its on.
It has been plugged in the hole time.
So what do I do, and what DID I do, so I never do it again.
Thank yo
Update
Since this happened I have left it on the wall charger and checked it out occasionally.
Well it still won't boot into recovery but... It is now willing to play ball when I press volume down and then plug in to the computer. Sadly it then tells me that the battery is too low.
Now, I *guess* it could be, except after rooting and before rebooting into recovery to make my first backup I had the phone off andplugg ed into a wall charger for 2 hours.
Again, any help you can offer
Often if ROM won't boot, charging does not work either.
Will need a charged battery, or a TBH factory cable adaptor.
See my low battery options in my list.

Hi, got some difficulty flashing.
Just trying to flash liquid smooth onto my old s3, but having some difficulty.
Previously loaded with a temasek rom and with devil recovery, pretty sure that the partitions had been reformatted to f2fs to boot. Well, I tried to reformat the partitions to ext4, complete wipe, install rom, gapps and then wiped cache and dalvik. Tried many times to boot, got it to load once but resulted in an unresponsive touchscreen (still works in recovery though). I didn't do anything specific to get it to boot this time, it just hung on the Samsung screen for over 10 minutes, saw a liquid smooth writing (which I thought was a boot loop) for about 20 minutes and then the intostart screen but unresponsive. Needless to say something isn't right, and it can't take half an hour just to reboot the phone!
I would go through odin, and start from scratch, but it's no longer my phone and the phone is no longer recognised by my pc (I guess the connector has been damaged, I had to get the volume buttons repaired this morning just to access recovery!). It can charge, just not specified under device manager on the pc... therefore can't seem to use odin at the moment.
Question is does anyone have a solution? Is there a specific recovery (do you have to use TWRP)? or am I doing something wrong? I've loaded lollipop onto my xperia z2, and a friends galaxy s4 but I'm facing issues with the s3... I have no idea why it just won't boot but if anyone could give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated! I've been banging my head against the wall for hours now! The only way I can get the phone to work again is to restore from my backup... something is definitely wrong here but for the life of me I can't figure out what!
Hi everyone!
This is my first post on here. I appreciate the value of all the info here and have been browsing unregistered for awhile.
Yesterday while using my Note 4 N910V, the phone cut off with 10% battery. Not unusual. I have 3 batteries for the device and it happens when putting a load though it while low. However this time it appeared to kill the phone. Now I'm trying to figure out if it fried something on the logic board when it cut off suddenly this time or if it corrupted my ROM.
I work in IT so I'm not totally without some kind of knowledge. So I installed ODIN and found a stock Verizon ROM and installed it. ODIN said it was successful and still, the phone is stuck in a bootloop. I have never rooted or loaded a custom ROM on this phone. It is completely stock. Am I missing something here? Do I have to mess with the bootloader or something? After ODIN installed the stock ROM I performed a whip data/factory reset. Still the same bootloop. It will get to the Verizon splash screen and reboot. I am able to get into recovery mode as well. The phone doesn't turn off or anything while in the Recovery menu. This is what lends me to believe it may be something corrupt with the ROM and the hardware might be ok.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!
