Hey Everyone.
Ive seen a few threads about this but not much help. I've been trying to flash CM9 to my Rezound and it just gets stuck at the HTC white loading screen. It's been there for about 18 mins now. I can flash Venom just fine and I have been using that with no problems. I should be S-OFF, I did the PH98IMG zip at the bootloader. Just wondering if anyone has any reasons why Venom works great but CM9/le noob wont boot.
Thanks for your help and time.

If you're s-off, you shouldn't be flashing anything in the bootloader, my guess is you have a kernel from a different rom sitting on your SD card, the CM9 installs don't create a PH98IMG.zip file.
Try removing the file off your SD card and flash the rom again without flashing anything additional in the bootloader.

I wiped everything off my SD card but the image. Wiped everything off my phone, the I flashed the ROM. Still on the HTC screen. Next im going to try and flash the RUU and try again after that.

I guess I am not S-OFF, I though I flash something that did that. But upon further reading I have not done the "wire trick". I CM9 possible with S-ON?

Someone packaged up the latest kernel to go along with Gray's 9/12 build here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31460595&postcount=57
Copy that as PH98IMG.zip on your sd card and flash it in the bootloader after you install the rom.

Ive tried this a few times and it is just freezing at "Parsing...[PH98IMG.zip]".
I'm going to let is sit on this for about 10 mins. I got some other new ROMS to Work today, just not CM9.

OK, it got done parsing. Still just sits on the White HTC Screen, ill prolly just go back to Viper until CM9 is more stable.
Do a full wipe.
Install CM9 in recovery, then immediately go to boot loader to flash the PH98IMG.

CM9 isn't the problem, I highly suggest you s-off your phone to make installing all roms in general easier.
Hey, guys!
So, I'm trying to get CM9 running on my Rezound. I had CM7 on my Droid and I have an HP TouchPad and I can't live with CM.
Anyway, I had previously installed the leaked ICS build back in March or April and that included flashing a PH98IMG.ZIP. (I think it was CleanRom that I installed, but I have to double check).
Anyway, I have Amon Ra installed and I went ahead and wiped data, cache, and Dalvik-cache, and installed the CM9 zip and gapps and I am also stuck on the white HTC screen. I'm guessing it's because I have a different kernel than what CM9 needs.
Should I flash the PH98IMG.ZIP linked above (the one for devices with S-ON) or is there another option?
Don't mean to hijack this thread or anything so if I should post a new one just let me know. I just saw that I'm having the same problem so I thought I'd post here.
Thanks!!!
Wipe everything

Wipe EVERYTHING! INCLUDING /SYSTEM & /BOOT then flash CM9, reboot to HBOOT if S-On and install the included PH98IMG.ZIP from HBOOT volume up to confirm. Then Reboot. PROFIT?

Thanks for the reply!
When you say the "included PH98IMG.ZIP", do you mean the boot.img that is inside cm-9-20120910-UNOFFICIAL-len00b-vigor.zip (obviously with storing it inside a PH98IMG.ZIP) or do you mean the AOSP-GrayTheWolf_Build-9-12-2012-PH98IMG.zip?

No I mean GrayTheWolf_Build and rename that file to PH98IMG. Place on the root of external sd card. First wipe everything. Then flash CM9 Le noob from recovery and reboot to bootloader to flash PH98IMG. (Volume up to confirm the flash once in the bootloader.)
Hit thanks if I helped!

Still didn't work for me. Here's what I did:
In Recovery, wiped data, cache, dalvik cache, system, boot, and did a factory reset. I then installed the CM9 zip.
From there, I did a reboot to bootloader. It picks up that there is a PH98IMG.ZIP sitting there and it says it is parsing it, but then it doesn't do anything else. In other words, it never gives me the option to confirm the flash or anything.
I rebooted and it hangs on the white HTC screen still. If it makes a difference, when I am in bootloader my phone says "unlocked" at the top.
Any thoughts?
Well, that's a tough one. I think the reason it won't be finish parsing is because either: 1.) you didn't wait long enough or 2.) it's a bad build for the PH98IMG. My best advice is to go S-Off Your phone!

You mean maybe I didn't wait long enough on the white HTC screen? I can let it go longer this morning. I was getting ready for bed when I was going this last night.
If that doesn't work then, yeah, I guess I'll have to go S-OFF. I'm guessing I can find a guide somewhere for that. I also have the All in One Rezound tool so I'll see if that has anything to help.
Thanks for all the help so far!

Doing some reading it seems that people are being confused by the kernel file they are supposed to flash. I think the easiest way to flash the kernel is in fast boot. Extract the boot.img file from the build you are installing and place it in your directory that has adb and fastboot installed. Then in fastboot type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (there is no need to put the boot.img file on your sdcard if you are s-on)

I ended up using the All in One Rezound tool and flashed the boot.img that was in the CM9 zip. That got me up and running! So thank you all very much!

i started i started running mik runny yesterday. I dont know if it was somethign with the rom but. I just updated my prl on dfs and once i went to reboot it wont go past the white htc screen and just keeps bootlooping. I cannot figure it out. Ive wiped everything muiltiple times. my nanadroids do the same thing. New roms too. I even did a factory reset. i dont get it My recovery and fastboot still work though. any other suggestions?
Flashed a new recovery img. i was using twrp2.0 i flashed twrp 1.3 to see if i had any luck with that but no dice. Im downloading the latest RUU now and hopefully that will fix it. Im guessing if it doesnt then something happened to my phone. If im not mistaken flashing the PG86IMG will flash allthe partitions so there would be no reason for it to not work unless of course something happened to the hardware?
Btw Hboot 1.4 and running mikrunny when the bootloop started. Im super confused since it booted fine for me numerous times. The only thing i changed before this reboot was prl and i turned fastboot off earlier. one other thing im downloading RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5 radio 1.00.1216 this isnt going to affect my hboot once flashing right? even if i have to re root thats fine i just dont wanna get stuck in 1.5 prison

well im kinda stuck now. I tried to run the ruu for my hboot version and on step 11 system it failed to unzip. so now i have s off still but no recovery. Im gonna try to put cwm back on my sd and hope that it flashes and see if i can get some rom to flash. I cant figure this out i feel like a newb again. fml. Does it matter that it wasnt the first time i booted into the rom for it to be a bad flash like that?
well i think im officially bricked. I ran an older ruu and it failed to unzip system so after much searching i decided to run one of the latest pg86imgs it fully updated succesfully but still bootloops at the htc screen. So now i have a locked hboot 1.5 with s-off. I gotta get some sleep and see what i can do tommorow. from evreything i have read they say im not bricked if im able to do what i have. but i dont understand why nothing will work.

Sup man your not bricked don't worry or even soft bricked lol.
You should of waited on that updated zip reason it's boot loopin or lockin up is due to the phone never got wiped before the update....
Here is the CWM that will work for you. You need to put the img in your platform tools for ADB. Rename the img file to cwm then plug your phone in while in hboot. Type fastboot flash recovery cwm.img this will put the recovery back on your phone man.
In CWM you can mount your phone and copy a rom you downloaded off xda. Take the rom you downloaded open it up on your computer make a copy of the boot.img place that in your platform tools folder. Now mount your phone using CWM copy the romwhich will put it on your sd card. Now wipe everything. Then while in ADB type : adb reboot bootloader this will take you to hboot again now type fastboot flash boot boot.img this will flash the kernel for you. Now go back into recovery and flash your rom.
You should be good to go man. Let me know if you have any questions.
This should get your phone working...
The good thing about the 3vo is dat its unbrickable just always keep a Rom u ones work an always erase scrub thing / factory reset cutting shortcuts don't work in rooting/dev world

Ok so now that i ran that ruu that changed my hboot to 1.5 is that gonna affect how the cwm installs?even though it says s-off. Also for some reason im having trouble running any commands for fastboot. Ive followed a bunch of guides made sure the envinronemtal variables were correct ect, ect but none of the adb commands will work. Maybe its my pc idk.
Since i cant get fastboot to work on my pc do you think i would just be able to reinstall clockworkmod by renaming it on my sd like you do to root in the first place. Then use it to wipe and then try reflashing?
U might have to re unlock it if ur 3vo says locked at the top if not u should have no problem

I was able to re run the pg86img with the 1.4 hboot now im back on hboot 1.4 still with soff and doesnt say locked anymore. I also was able to install recovery again but i used twrp 1.3 since none of the download links i could find were good and the ones that were good were disk img. I tried running virus superwipe tool and reflashing a rom again to see if anyhtign changed but it didnt. i really just wish i could get the commands to work to use fastboot and adb.
One thing i just noticed in recovery i went into mounts and system and data were unmounted and cache and sdcard were mounted. Do i need to mount everything and try again or was that the way it should of been?

I read about the 1.5 with s-off issue a while back when hboot 1.5 first was released. As long as you have s-off, it doesn't really matter what hboot you have. You'll be able to flash entire ROMs (kernel included) in one step just like you could before your issue arose, because you have s-off. I sadly don't have enough experience with fastboot to be able to give you an easy guide to flashing cwm onto your phone though, but I hope this helps you at least somewhat.
EDIT: I just realized everything I said now doesn't matter since you're not on hboot 1.5 anymore...sorry about that. reaper24 gave you a link to cwm 4.0.1.4 in post #8 in this thread. Stop using TWRP 1.3, there's already a TWRP 2 specifically for EVO 3D and even the latest TWRP has been having issues. CWM has been completely stable for me on every HTC phone I've ever used (Hero CDMA, EVO 4G and now currently the EVO 3D). CWM 4.0.1.4 is in post #8 of this thread as an attachment (it's a small link in between reaper's post and his signature)

If so i can flash recovery img then flash new rom boot img ect. .. i was told i have to do via pc in order to flash the boot partition cause thats whats causing my problem.
I have all the paths specified on my pc and everythign i need in my tools folder but cant cd to anyhting. i have read and read and read im pretty sure i have it all setup right but everytime i cd it says path not specified or not a batch file or soemthing.

i have twrp on here now is there anyway for me to wipe the boot partition and reflash that then my rom. sorry i know im asking questions i have read the answers to i have just read so much over the past 30-40 hours. actually cwm has a format boot option in it right?

i know right. I think what it might be is something i saw earlier about since i flashed the PG86IMG and it took revolutionary off my hboot that i no longer have fastboot. I tried to run some other commands and got the same thing. So for the hell of it i tried to run revolutionary from hbootand fastboot and it just waits for device. But then when i reboot the phone it will recognize it, but it doesnt stay long enough to run revolutionary.No i just have to remember which pg86img it was that made my phone just stay at the white screen so i can run revolutionary. lol
So Im S-off and wanted to see if Ive got all i need to updating my rezound to global status and installing a new Rom
1. Ive gotten the RUU from here http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/
Rename to PH98IMG.zip and put into root of SD card run in bootloader
(Q)I hear ppl say run the ruu 2x is this when its the exe or if im flashing the PH98IMG.zip, once is enough.
After Flash, run once to let the upgrade settle in or can I power off and switch the the PH98IMG.zip to an Amonra file and flash.
2. Flash Amon ra from here http://neo.androidrevolutions.com/. Put in root of SD card and let it run in bootloader.
3. Run root in recovery.
4. Should i reset the phone again in rom and in bootloader to clean it once more and should i run scotts cleanwipe now or before this?
5. Lastly Flash Rom of choice.
If im missing any steps plz let me. thanks for helping the noob

I'm the kind of guy that typically does everything via the computer/exe, but as far as I understand flashing the PG98 from bootloader should only need to be done once (it will reboot and continue after it updates hboot). Could be wrong though.
I typically let the stock rom boot once before flashing recovery.
After flashing recovery, boot to it. Typically you don't need to flash a root because most ROMS will already have root built in, but I'd check the details of it to make sure. If it does, just boot into recovery, factory reset/wipe, and flash your rom. If not, you should still be able to flash ROM/root, all in one swipe without needing to boot.

(Q)I hear ppl say run the ruu 2x is this when its the exe or if im flashing the PH98IMG.zip, once is enough.
After Flash, run once to let the upgrade settle in or can I power off and switch the the PH98IMG.zip to an Amonra file and flash.
2. Flash Amon ra from here http://neo.androidrevolutions.com/. Put in root of SD card and let it run in bootloader.
3. Run root in recovery.
4. Should i reset the phone again in rom and in bootloader to clean it once more and should i run scotts cleanwipe now or before this?
5. Lastly Flash Rom of choice.
If im missing any steps plz let me. thanks for helping the noob

FLASH THE RUU 2x. The reason is it is so big it doesn't fully update everything in one go.
yes you should let it power on after flashing the ruu
flash amon ra
then wipe wipe wipe and flash rom of choice

Really? I'm pretty sure it's because the 4.** upgrade had a new HBOOT, so the first flash updates HBOOT, then the second flash updates everything else. Personally, I had to flash twice initially, but I need to RUU again after breaking a different ROM, and it only required one flash since HBOOT was already up to date.
Thanks for the help guys. Ran ruu 2x for good measure then factory reset n cleanwiped. Ran the new rom n I'm back in business. Only thing is where are the governor kernel controls usually at. I'm using slimkang w snuzzo 1.3 kernal. Do I need to install setcpu or system tuner?
Thanks again for all the help

You are correct the first run updates the hboot. Then the phone goes black for about twenty seconds. And it'll go back to bootloader and and finish the update.. but it is recommended by some to just run it twice to be sure there's no gb crap left behind..

Ok to start off i unlocked,rooted,flashed cwm with hansoons tool kit everything went perfect! Was having problems flashing roms because i am s -on. I had a nandroid tho so i just restored it and everything worked fine again. Last night i flashed a rom and after flashing was sent to hboot. Now my phone is stuck either on a black screen. At first i couldnt get in recovery thru hboot but after i removed my ext sd it would let me choose to enter recovery. So i went to restore my nandroid and md5 mismatched.. Im at a loss.. I tried to get help somewhere else but havent got a reply and i need my phone for work tomorrow! If anyone can help id appreciate. Im not a noob just kinda a noob to htc and this s-on/s-off stuff.
First I would install Amon Ra recovery, then I would just flash a new ROM that does the boot.img thing by itself like Clean ROM.

What ROM did you try flashing?
If you have a computer nearby. You have CWM still installed? Make a new md5 file of the nandroid
or
reflash a rom that you do have on your phone
or
flash a kernel and hope it boots like joels
or
if all else fails. I would say download latest RUU and flash it in HBOOT. That is the last thing you would want to do.

I messed up and cleared storage through hboot when trying to revive my phone so i lost the nandroid and couple roms i had downloaded. Im thinking my only option is to flash the latest RUU in HBOOT. How can I go about doing this? If I get my phone revived i definitely wont be modifying anymore htc devices cuz ive never gone thru this before.

Well you will need to download the full RUU. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ and place the file on your sdcard as PH98IMG.zip and when you boot into HBOOT it will ask you to update. Just press yes.

You can get your phone to install the RUU through fastboot if you have a computer with it installed
Download the RUU to your computer. With fastboot make sure it is recognizing your phone. Now here are the commands. fastboot oem rebootRUU a black screen will appear with an HTC in the middle. Next command will be fastboot flash zip rezound_AndroidPolice_4.03.605.2_PH98IMG.zip
There are also .exe ruu files. You can find them here.

True. Unless you want Global RUU. Then it's a .zip
But thanks for the links. I had no idea where some .exe files were.

I've heard this cleanrom flashes eveything together so you dont have to flash the boot.img seperately. Would this idea work?

That would work. But cleanrom is so outdated. Use Nils Sense 3.6 if your on the global firmware. But out of curiosity what ROM do you currently have installed? If it is a Sense rom. Install one of the kernels found. Maybe Bamf since his is setup for easy s-on guys.

Hi,
I am new here and this is my first post so forgive me if starting a new thread for this topic was wrong but I found my own situation slightly different from the others here who had the same problem.
I have a gsm unlocked rezound and was trying to get rid of the unknown sim error message at lock screen. I followed the steps mentioned on this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882355. I rooted the phone, downloaded the apk. Deleted the .odex file and replaced the existing apk with the downloaded one and rebooted. Now, I am stuck at the lock screen with no icons. But for the other people who faced similiar issue, they were able to open the home screen. I can't. I can see pop ups for sms/mail. I get ring when a call comes in but I cant pick. I tried hard reset. Tried booting without sim/sd card. Still no luck. I tried connecting the phone to my pc but now my pc wont recognise the phone when its connected. I can see icon on top of the phone which says USB connected and I also see sync icon, but it will not go any further. I dont know how to get into the phone's menu now.
I may have bitten more than I can chew, silly me :crying:
If you guys can help me in any way, I would appreciate that a lot.
OS : 4.0.3 ICS Running HTC Sense 3.6.
A quick fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017932
Flash my debloater, choosing the Sense option(will be brought to a widget removal screen if you don' use them all) & AOSP lockscreen. Disadvantage to that though, you will have to unlock to see the caller id when it rings.

Thank you for the quick response. I have downloaded the file. I know this sounds stupid but I am a real rookie. I don't know how to do the flashing or how to get to the AOSP lock screen. If you could guide me through the process or maybe give me a link where I can learn it myself, it would be great.
Essentially since you already have rooted, you will(should) also have a custom recovery (TWRP, AmonRa, CWM). Install it as you would a regular rom but without any wipes until after flash of the zip. Dependent on which recovery you will want to look up their FAQ/QnA on how to wipe dalvik/cache.
Once you get inside the script, you will see what I meant by "Choose Sense & AOSP Lockscreen".

Yes the phone was rooted, but I used a rooting software from google apps from the phone. After I downloaded that app, it rooted the phone and brought in an extra icon. I remember it as SU root something, but I didnt do it from the pc. So I dont have any recovery on the pc. I used to sync the phone with htc sync. Unfortunately, right now, my pc wont recognise the phone. I tried root explorer for android from pc, it wont recognise the device. HTC sync too will not. But my phone seems to know when a USB is connected, it brings the usb icon on top but thats about it. ((
Ok, best suggestion at this point is to follow the instruction in the OP for installing TWRP in the Rezound development section.

Thank you for the help buddy. I am glad you said its not. I dont know what I would have done if it had. This is my first android phone and I took it a week back. I was beginning to miss my iPhone . Unfortunately the link you provided wont help me because I have no way of restarting phone other than by removing battery. Even when in fastboot, the pc does not recognise the device even when device shows fastboot usb. I doubt if I can get past step 1 in that link.
I found that I am on Vigor H Boot 2.27.000 and Radio 2.22.10.0803r with S-ON. I tried to turn S-Off after reading and educating myself on android from this forum till now. But even to S-Off, I need to be able to enable USB in debug mode which I am not able to. Any suggestions ?
Device still not fixed
hi,
I took the phone to a couple of places to check if it can be fixed, No one was able to fix it thus far, Any other advice or suggestions to fix this would be great. Any admins/mods have something to add ? Please, I am desperate to fix this phone. Anyway of doing this ?
Have you tried flashing a different rom?
If he's S-on and locked, he can simply flash the latest RUU can't he(just to get the phone working again). From there someone can help him set up adb, and s-off.

From what they posted, somehow they don't have a custom recovery even though they are rooted?
Can you put a PH98IMG.zip file of a recovery (either Amon Ra or TWRP) on your SD card and flash it in hboot? Then flash a custom ROM the same way from recovery.
You can take the SD card out and mount it on your pc and use your pc to copy over the recovery PH98IMG.zip file.
And oh yeah, I see what Obaterista... was saying. You should be able to flash the latest RUU from hboot. Here's a link for it:

Yes I rooted from a tool I found on android market. Noob me. So I do not have a recovery. I had downloaded the PH98IMG.zip and put it in my sd card and tried. The recovery starts and then shows a red exclamation and then nothing happens.
I was just trying different pages for help. Someone has mentioned that I should add the PH98IMG.zip as just PH98IMG and I shud not add the .zip. Thats the only thing left to try. I will post what happens when I do that.

I am no expert to give u any suggestions but maybe if you could explain how it got bricked in the first place, someone might be able to give u a better solution mate.
I know this has been posted before, but my particular circumstance after reading through many threads has not been covered (as far as i know). I normally flash A LOT of new roms because i'm a bit of a ROM junkie and am always interested in all of you wonderful developers creations. So after flashing may 1000th rom, CM10.1, many times and getting bootloops, i decided to give up and restore the fully functional CM10 I was using prior. Well, after MANY numerous ways of restoring my back up, others roms, stock OEM RUU's/Zips, and bootloader NOTHING will get my phone to get past the WHITE HTC LOGO SCREEN!!!
I at one point couldn't access or mount my internal SD, o kept getting an error message so I connected it to windows and it was recognized and windows prompted me to format the internal SD card because it was "corrupted", so I did and tried flashing again through all the above methods and STILL NOTHING. Now every time i boot into recovery, it sometimes takes 50+ seconds to load or if it does load quicker it says i'm in "safe mode" or "enable 4EXT'S ADVANCED SETTINGS". I'm sorry that this si lengthy, but i'm stumped. Can anyone help me????
When I was on evervolv all my partitions were corrupted according to 4ext. No rom would flash. The only way I was able to recover was to downgrade to an official T-Mobile GB RUU. Once I did that everything was fine and dandy again. Hopefully if you do the same it works for you.
Thank you, I am going to try this today and see if it helps. Did you just put the RUU on the root of the external SD or was it and exe file??
Thanks again for your help!!!

No the ruu should be a zip file not an exe. The ruu's I used are for T-Mobile.
Since your S-Off you should be able to do downgrade and upgrade at will. Sounds like your partitions are messed up. Also make sure your SuperCID as well.
Downgrade your amaze to a GB RUU 1.43.531.3
Check MD5 SUMS
Rename it to PH85IMG.zip
Place on your External SD CARD
Reboot phone into bootloader
Let Phone find update and apply update
Let Phone reboot
If that worked and your able to use your phone
Repeat Steps 1 - 8 and use ICS RUU 2.14.531.3 instead of the GB RUU.
You can't flash an ICS Rom if your firmware is still GB.
Also if you want to get the latest update from T-Mobile that address wifi calling and updates your Firmware and Radio for better battery life and reception follow my guide here

I am having the exact problem as OP but I am S-on, what extra steps do I need to take? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Since I can't allegedly go backwards from JB/ICS to GB when S-on, the only solution I was able to arrive to on my own accord was to format the internal SD in 4ext. Once I did that 4ext was able to see both internal and ext sd and I was able to flash to my heart's content. I think it was a misaligned partition or something. Fortunately everything on the internal SD was backed up already but in the future is there an easier way to do this without formatting sdcard? I re-locked my phone and tried to flash the latest T-Mobile Stock ICS RUU by renaming it to PH85IMG.zip and letting the bootloader flash it but I still got stuck at the white HTC screen at boot.

ive got the same thing going on, mine is s-on boot loader unlocked. i dont have super cid. ive tried the stock ruu t-moblie gb. in boot loader it reads it but afterwards nothing. ive even tried relocking the bootloader and trying that way, that way is a little differnt. if you relock bootloader then it will force itself in fastboot every time you try to turn it on or plug usb in from your pc. but you cant get into 4ext recovery.fastboot will read that ph85img.zip. and will try to update, but it fail and say cid incorect. but if you unlock your bootloader agein then your can get back into 4ext, but then your just at square one agein. idk im sumped. if any one can help that would be a life saver.

You have 2 options here
1. check your cid version download the appropriate ruu for it I've posted a unbranded version ruu in krooks thread and run it while the bootloader is locked..
2. Go to 4ext download a FLASHABLE ROM a gb rom NOT a ruu and flash it from 4ext and turn on smart flash before doing it ...
Either way you get a working device

it's pretty much that no threads i'm afraid :/ just flash 4ext then put the rom.zip in your ext sd card then go to tools and enable smart flash since your s on then go to install from sd card>>choose zip from sd card>> then select your zip and flash it if you stuck in a bootloop flash faux kernel while enabling smart flash or flash the stock kernel with aio kit
your welcome i prefer the thanks button tho

Still no luck in getting past the splash screen
Well it's been a while since I've posted back on this thread, but I have tried everything that was suggested and i STILL can't get the phone to boot past the HTC Splash screen. I tried flashing many different RUU zips (all renamed PH85IMG) as well as custom ROMS (gingerbread and ICS based) and nothing gets the phone to boot up! They install, but after the phone reboots it's still a no-go. I just don't know what to do anymore. The only thing i can think of is my bootloader is still unlocked, could that have anything to do with this? Like I said earlier my phone is S-ON which makes things more difficult. I'm really hopeless for a solution.
I even mounted the internal and external SD's to the computer and reformatted them. Still doesn't help. Also, my recovery, which is 4EXT, always says i'm in "safe mode" and i have to do something to put it in advanced mode? Please someone help!:crying:
Help
