Hi Xda,
I decided to revert back to stock, got a MD5 checksum error on my nandroid backup (which was in the phone storage). Decided to use one of the custom ROMs which were available on my external SD or even a nandroid backup of my current system but to my surprise CWM won't recognize my external SD anymore and I already wiped cache, system data, and all that stuff clean so I have no OS anymore. Note that until very recently CWM could see my external SD and if I plug it in another phone it works fine so that eliminates the possibility of it being corrupted. I also tried to plugin my usb cable and tried to mount it but got an error. I had another nandroid backup on the phone which worked 5 minutes prior but I deleted it which was obviously a stupid move.
tl;dr: Wiped my phone clean, only have CWM left. Through CWM I Couldn't mount usb, external SD doesn't work anymore, and nandroid backup on the phone storage failed the checksum. What should I do?
if your phone is working download rom manager and flash recovery thru the app...first find the new rom you want and gapps...then flash thru rom manger recovery....then when your done..make sure you make a backup this time....the roms now thru recovery only show sd card because when making backups its more secure..they don't get erased ...
Thanks for your reply but my phone is no longer working CWM is the only thing I have left
reflash cwm with Odin
Get the Odin version HERE
Load it in the pda slot of Odin, out phone in download mode, connect to pc, and let her rip
That version will see the external sd, the new one from Rom manager will not..
Or, get into cwm, mount your USB storage, copy ROM to phone, flash, sigh in relief, feed the zombie...

^^ op says he tried that and "got an error"
But yes, feed the zombie, I'm starving!
Just because you wiped everything doesn't mean you only have cwm left. You just have a fresh install of whatever Rom you were running when you did all the wipes. You can reboot into the Rom and move backups around or flash the latest cwm of you're on an old one.
Have you tried just rebooting and moving whatever junk to internal or whatever you need?

if you format /system, which he says he did, you do not have an os whatsoever.
Boot up your pc and delete the Windows folder then reboot... You think you're gonna have a fresh install of Windows?
My first post is what he needs to do...
Anyone else got anything they wanna add for me to correct? Hahaha

I'm guessing he hit the wipe data/factory reset option in cwm. Which wipes data and factory resets and leaves you with a fully functional Rom. He never said he formatted /system but maybe reading comprehension isn't your thing. Thanks for being an ass though.

We can only go by what the op tells us...You assume he means factory reset and doesn't know that doing that doesn't wipe the os... but he says he had no os so that is what we have to go by
Don't assume...it only makes an ass out of u and me

I'm thinking he only thinks he has no os, he has not mentioned ever trying to reboot. Seeing as he's being noobish (no offense), I'm guessing he's following the standard procedures of pretty much every tutorial and ROM OP, and simply wiping data/factory reset and clearing caches. Thus he should have a nice clean os. I could be completely wrong and he formatted everything, but I doubt that is the case.
I realize assuming can be bad, but I'm just trying to help him in the absolute simplest way possible which seems quite reasonable. :thumbup:

Thanks a lot for the help everyone specially yollasho and studacris and I'm sorry if I caused an argument. I never formatted the phone. I just did data/factory reset, deleted cache and dalvik. I tried to boot to the phone and I did get the custom ROM's splash screen but it never booted so I made the assumption that I lost my OS. I will carefully read the advice everyone gave me again and I will report back once I hopefully get it fixed.

Hahaha well, it's not often i have to say this...but I'm sorry dude, you were right.
Still stand by everything i said....but, my foot tastes funny
Saw this looking for roms for wife's new Note and thought I'd chime in. Since you have cwm, try booting your phone into recovery, and push a new rom to your sd card with adb and flash that.
What you'll do is boot your phone into recovery, connect to your computer and then from a cmd prompt :
1) adb devices
(you should see your device I'd here)
2) adb push somerom.zip /sdcard/somerom.zip
(see transfer here....)
Obviously you'll need to be in the directory on your computer that contains your rom and have your path variable set so you can run adb from anywhere. Then reboot your phone back into recovery, flash, be happy. Hope that helps!

Since there have been enormous amounts of questions of how to this, how do I do that. I am laying out the steps, in order, the way I did it. It works perfectly, and was very short. You can do this from ANY version of your phone, even an Alpha/Vanilla version of Froyo, this includes 2.1 Eclair.
THIS VERSION IS NONVOODOO, disable if you are using it.
THIS VERSION IS 100% ODIN FREE.

PUT BOTH OF THESE FILES ON YOUR SD CARD. In any folder you like, or just the SD card main folder, as long as you know where it is.
Steps
1) Flash OLD ClockWork Mod Recovery to your phone. Do this by going to the Market and downloading ROM Manager. Once installed, click "Flash ClockWork Recovery" and choose the Fascinate.
1A) This is an ALTERNATIVE to step 1, a VERY good one. If you aren't able to get into Clockwork Recovery then do this. "Rooting Regardless of OS". Do that first and then come back here and proceed with Step 2. ---------------- Thanks ditobot
2) Once finished, choose Reboot Into Recovery. If it doesn't boot into recovery, then "Apply sdcard:update.zip".
3) Next, go back to the main menu and choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", do this twice for good measure. Then choose "Wipe Cache Partition", do it twice for good measure, it doesn't hurt anything.
4) Once in Recovery, choose "Install zip from sdcard" > "Choose zip from sdcard" > Then locate your "DL30.zip" file that you downloaded earlier. Choose it and then hit YES. Once complete, takes less than a couple minutes usually.
5) FINALLY, choose "Install zip from sdcard" > "Choose zip from sdcard" > Then locate your "new_cwm.zip" file you downloaded earlier. Choose it and hit YES. YOU ARE DONE!!!!
Reboot the phone and enjoy your rooted, bloated, official copy of Verizon Froyo.
For the record, this update ONLY works with DJ05 and DL09 radio. Meaning you must download and flash it to your phone if you do not have it or you won't get texts and probably won't be able to make calls.
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Many questions are being asked and I will do my best to answer them, but you may find some of your answers in the Leaked thread started by punk.kaos himself. You can find this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937237

Did you wipe EVERYTHING? That usually is what causes what you're saying, by not wiping everything.
Syn, what's the difference between the *old* Green CWM and the *new* Green CWM? If you've got the old green cwm, can't you just reboot into recovery, wipe wipe wipe, and then flash the DL30 leak?
I previously had blackhole 3.0 DI09 on it. I jumped when i saw froyo was released so I restored it to a previous ROM (touchwiz rooted and cwm) i put it on my sd card (DI30) went into cwm recovery and did then searched for the the DI30 then applied it. it rebooted then it seemed to be working fine the google account and all the setup menus appeared but when i did it all then closed the menus, Force close tw.launcher came up?

Yes you boot into old CWM then you install NEW CWM from there then wipe and install.
New CWM works with the new kernel .32 as the old one didn't. Blame Verizon. Thank punkkaos and jt.

It's ok because punkkaos told everyone that he would release the leaked copy once he knew that it was OK to distribute, so that noone would lose their job. So this is the real deal.
i think i really messed up
to my last 3 posts, i decided to try to fix it myself. i flashed cwm recovery again, and now my phone will load the samsung logo then it will go to the little menu automatically that says
-reboot system now
-apply sdcard:update:zip

i dont want this to be a brick! i really screwed up and i'm a major idiot.

Yeah it asks to do a Firmware update. Do it. I did and then it reboots and won't ever ask again. Just a small thing I guess.
Wiping is just a safety thing to do so your chances of stuff getting messed up is really low. It may not be necessary in this package, as you have done it without problems. Good job on finding that out.

reboot just locks up at splash screen and clearing the cache and dalvik wont delete files correct? also the cache we talk about is the wipe cache partition?
Wiping /cache and /dalvik won't delete any data so no worries about that. Wipe them both and then reboot. It will take up to 3-5minutes to rebuild the caches.
I kind of need to know what ROM you are/were on to figure out where to go. Once you answer that and try the above, and it doesn't work I have another idea to try.

trying to reboot now but it looks like it isnt going to work. but i also read somewhere else
Only the factory recovery wipes the /data/media ("/sdcard") partition. Any third-party community-built recovery (like ClockworkMod Recovery or TeamWin Recovery Project) will wipe everything except /data/media.
So, to answer your question, as long as the files are on your phone's pretend SD card (the default for user-created content and files you transfer to your phone), they won't be wiped when installing a custom ROM.
is this true? also again could care less about the phone just need the new baby pics and vids
You are correct. The only ways to erase your internal SD card is by formatting it, masterclear in Odin, or formatting /data (not wiping but formatting -they are different functions).
Did the wipe and reboot work?

Reboot into Recovery. Open up Droid Explorer and see if it finds the phone. If so just browse to where you need and copy them.

Any kernel compatible with cm9. You can simply extract the .zip from the rom and flash the boot.img via fastboot (available in Hasoon's tool).
If you still have issues we will need more info about your sytem: s-on? Already on ICS? Which carrier? SuperCID? and anything else you think about.

Maybe you guys can help me out a little bit. Can't get passed HTC screen.
I'm no expert at flashing, but on simple things I know what I am doing. Everything was fine and I wanted to flash Sport stars CM10 ROM. I did a backup on 4ext like I always do and then wipe flash reboot.
The issue here now is that once i flashed cm10 my phone got stuck on the HTC screen. Did my research found out sports ROM that he uploaded wasn't booting up. I instantly went back to 4ext. Wiped data and cache and restored my fourth bar nexus ROM.
Apparently it said the backup was successful yet when ever I boot it stays stuck at the HTC screen. This happened last night and I just can't seem to figure out shaft to do. I wiped, restored still nothing. Wiped download a different ROM. Still nothing.
S-on, T-Mobile
Edit: Also should be noted on last screenshot I never saw this splash screen before in 4ext. Happens the second I boot up in recovery. And in the small rectangle says something about 4ext not being configured due to an app or something.
I think I should be okay if I just flash clockwork and restore, but I'm not entirely sure.

Or reflash fourth bar, then do an advanced restore and restore your data only.

If all else fails, reload a stock ruu via hboot, that'll wipe everything and restore your device to stock, once it boot's, throw on a custom recovery and go through the usuals to get your custom rom.

Flash the kernel in the zip file, which is the rom itself.
If that doesn't help, restore to stock via a ruu then attempt again, remembering to flash the kernel manually, in most cases 4EXT will flash the kernel when you reboot from recovery, it will tell you it has a task to complete, the phone should auto reboot on it's not, no this is not a bootloop, just let it be and it should be fine.

I don't know what happened, but my phone is now working. All I did was wipe, restore (didn't flash a kernel or anything fancy just restored) and the phone booted, shutdown and then rebooted and finally started working. Thank you for helping me.

Just for future reference, anytime anyone has a bootloop issue that they can't fix in 20 minutes or less.. they should just flash the stock RUU. You can flash the RUU, flash a recovery, and restore a rom in a little over 30 minutes, and then you know that ANY quirk you may have had will have been written over.
Since you had an issue like yours, where you did nothing and it started booting, I am thinking you may have something wrong with your partition scheme.. if you have future issues reflash the RUU as it redoes the actual partitions and everything on them.

if your gonna tell people to clean contacts they should also do the opposite ones on the phone that those battery contacts touch.
also im skeptical on this as mines rebooted when its not even being held and just sitting there on a table.
thank you for your help, i missed it in the instruction But i never did so
Another solution is trying out different kernels, some might mess with files and cause them to be corrupted. Also, I did some research on the amaze and there's another fix saying that the back cover must be tight and not loose. Not sure if that's a definite solution but people can try it if all else fails! Other information is that apps may have a part in this or maybe you just need to reflash your rom!
I used to have this problem, like it was occurring two or three times a day and it just went away when I flashed the Stock RUU. I stayed on the stock rom for awhile and then moved to the ViperA rom. It's been about a month, that I haven't seen a random reboot on my phone!

Thanks! Definitely going to try this.
Agree with kevinrubio1 , try superwipe then install backup again . This could be a kernel issue.

The best kernel out right now imo is the faux v31 kernel. It comes with the matching libs and files.

Try putting a small folded up piece of paper under the battery. That solved the reboot issue with me.

Random Reboot
Hi All
I am encountering Reboot problem for the last 3 days
I had reinstall the Stock Rom ARHD 4.0
Fix permissions
Factory Reset (Both from recovery and Phone settings)
Format Internal SD Card
Formatting Internal SD card resolved the issue for a day but today it started again it reboots every 1-3 minutes :crying:
As soon as I touch the phone it reboots I have doubt to have internal SD card corrupted
I am on faux 31 kernel s-off rooted
Thanks in advance

Hi lalit,
If I were you I would run a RUU because they usually fix software issues. Since you are on Faux 31 I am guessing you have overclocked it, or undervolted it too much and you set it at boot.

You mean I should restore HTC Stock Firmware
Should I re-lock my BL
Appreciate if you give me a link of latest one and the method
I tried but unsuccessful to get back to Stock RUU
I am little confused sorry for asking

Yes you should run a RUU, but don't worry I am pretty sure that you retain (keep) S-OFF anyway.
To be honest I am not an expert. Ravike14 is way better at troubleshooting than me lol . Hope he comes to aid a brother.
But I hope these can help you.

I think it's best to get the T-mobile one since almost all Amaze 3.6 roms including ARHD, NRG, SuperSense, all my ROMS, etc use the T-mobile base.
Hope it helps and good luck!!! :good::good:

But you already formatted it? Use 4ext to format your internal SD. It will erase everything so copy the data from your internal to your computer.

I am making an update to Super Sense to 3.0, it will be the most feature rich ROM for the Amaze, EVER released here. It has so many options in AROMA that I'm implementing. So maybe you should get 3.0 when it comes out.
Maybe you should go on the Super Sense thread and ask a request to me there. :good: I am taking requests for stuff people want in AROMA. I will try and fullfill them.
Just paste a piece of insulation tape to the opposite side of terminals side of battery. It will surely solve tendon reboots issues.I solved this problem like this now battery is ok.

Hello all.
I'm coming from a droid charge. I had it rooted mostly for the adfree and titanium backup. I have rooted various friends phones and I am familiar with the process of sorts. My issue is similar to what has been posted previously but with a twist.
I used CASUAL to root/unlock. That went without a hitch but I think I went too far. Once I was at the TWRP screen and was looking at the buttons for wiping I went ahead and wiped everything, one at a time. Now I am stuck at the note II screen. I can get into download mode. The Note II screen just sits there staring at me. I'm not in a loop at all.
Did I completely wipe everything off my phone? LOL. I'm downloading multiple restore/roms as I type this.
I don't think I would call this a bricked phone other than saying I squishy bricked it, kinda like a nerf brick. that I put in the freezer. it still hurts but it'll be ok I'm sure.
Anyway. Before I go further I would like some advice as how to proceed.
I'm not looping at the Note II screen, it just stays there. Thus why I think I wiped everything off of it.
Thanks in advance, and yes you can call me a blockhead if you feel the desire.

When you wiped, it wiped system and this is why it doesn't boot. Always make a backup first.
You have 2 options:
1. Download and factory restore with ODIN. Look at the stickies. There are restores that do not relock the bootloader and do not wipe data.
2. Download a custom ROM and use ADB to push it to the SD card in TWRP. This requires a little more know how but can get you up and running a little quicker.
Good luck!
Thanks

Only problem here is my inability to boot into TWRP. I can get into ODIN download mode and that is it. I keep reading the warnings of using ODIN after using CASUAL. Now I'm a little worried.
These are the only 2 screens I can get to, besides the note II hang.

Nope I'm using the VOL DOWN, power and home.
I just did your suggestion and get the System software not authorized blah blah, go to the nearest VW store.
Rut row. Now what. Guess I should do more reading.
Used imnuts Alt restore file. It got me back into my phone, bless you imnuts.
My phone is back to 4.1.1. Now to get back to 4.1.2
How does one get back to stock 4.1.2? I tried imnuts stock image but it seems to just keep me at 4.1.1
If I have to flash the modem and GPS to be the same than so be it.
OK, I took the OTA. I'm back to 4.1.2. Sorry to be all panicking about my phone. I was worried I was going to brick this in a bad way.
Because of all this I am so very thankful to all involved. This took me some searching and a lot of reading.
Now I will retry CASUAL and not mess it up lick I did the first time.
glad you got it back, remember VOL UP = Recovery VOL DOWN = Download mode.
Yup yup.
Thanks Eris.
BTW, turn off your antivirus program when running CASUAL.
I'm good and very happy I finally got the dang thing rooted with SU installed. Now I can finally back up the whole thing and start freezing the bloat.
It's a good day
I tip my hat to all of you devs. Good job guys. :good:

You can't get back to 4.1.2 using Odin, you have to unlock and flash back to a 4.1.2 ROM or take the OTA.
