Panic! pls help?
Hi
So i tried flashing via cwm a rom and while trying to wipe the dalvik cache i think i pressed a wrong menu item. i said something like "back menu disabled", only had the option to format a partition, i did that, and gave me otions to choose from 0m to 4G... i chose 0m. i dont know what partition got formated to that...
anyway, after that, i only got the option to "reboot to recovery". did that, and it gave me a new menu, which now appears always at the power on, with all the options that normally appear when press vol-down... bunt its not on just onle line, its a long list, where all appear. i can select them all, if i tell it to boot, it boots the rom just fine, BUT the screen is misaligned! the press appears higher than normal. for example, i cant press the last row of icons, the back/menu/etc...
any ideeas please?
is there any way to reformat those back? or to flash a fresh partitioning system, even the stock one?
thank you very much

on a blur rom you can go to themes and apps section and look for a thread called
how to make.a boot logo
i have posted 7 flashable zips with screenshots they worked.well on my at&t
First off, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Mods, you may move this thread if need be. I was just shown this website about two weeks ago by a friend and have only been a lurker since. So I apologize if my first post is one needing assistance.
First off, I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to doing all this reboot,recovery, root,etc. But I can usually figure stuff out. I have researched how to do all this stuff over the last to weeks learning how to do all this. Let it be known that I was already rooted with siyah 3.4.2? kernel with superuser, CWM, and had ROM Manager downloaded. Last night I had finally decided to try and download a custom rom (AOKP), and I went through ROM Manager to try and reboot into recovery mode..the phone went dead. I have not been able to turn the phone on since last night. I have tried taking the battery out, trying to hold down volume buttons/power button to get into download mode, etc..But nothing is happening. When I power on, I can see the screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy SII" w/ the triangle, but then the screen goes black and nothing. In a dark room, you can see that the screen looks like it's trying to fire by flickering, but again...nothing. Sorry if this has been alot of reading, but I just want to be as thorough as I can. If anybody can tell me what went wrong, and how it might be fixed, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Remove the battery and replace it. hold the up/down volume and power button. The screen should light up. Continue to hold them until the phone goes into recovery mode. The phone should turn on and off a couple times before it enters recovery. Then wipe the data and caches. Hopefully at the point the phone will work. If it wont work you could always try to buy a download jig. They are only a couple dollars and can easily be found with a search.

That usually cause more trouble than it's worth. Espeically for a noob. I had been in that situation back when I first start doing it. First thing I used was CWM and I had the same/similar problem.
That is why everyone here always mentioned to not use CWM.

@BigCohiba,
You need to get into download mode. You should be able to do that without using a jig. With the phone off, but with the battery still in the phone, hold down vol- and vol+ (but not power) while you plug in the usb cable.
The following instructions given by fakhri should also work:

After that, flashing siyah kernel alone may be enough to allow the phone to boot, but you may have trouble finding a Siyah in Odin flashable tar format.
...or, flash straight stock UCKH7, or flash stock plus root UCKH7. You can find download links for those in one or the other of the guides linked in my signature.
Please let us know your success or problems as you proceed.

These two things worked. Phone is back to stock and working. Thanks to everybody for helping very much!
Dear all,
Here is the situation. I decided to root my evo 3d gsm (hboot 1.5++) today, and all went well until I flashed a rom (virtuous). Now whenever I boot on the phone, it shows me this "V" logo and loads for more than 10minutes or so. I can go into my bootloader, but when I attempt to do anything from my clockworkmod recovery, when I press the power button to select different options, I get blank menus and I can attempt nothing. I am an unexperienced user, and can anyone out there who is experience render some assistance? I am at my wits end...
Thanks
Well I'm not too familier with the gsm version... the "V", is that part of the boot animation? and does it just loop over and over? maybe try reflashing clockworkmod and re wipe and install?

The "V" is the part of the boot animation. And the "V" just glows again and again, yeah so i guess it loops. Why I am so worried is because I saw a window of my HTC sense booting to life earlier on, but I saw the words "Unfortunately... has... crashed..." but it was very brief, and after which the animation began again. Is it because I waited for too short a period of time? (around 15 minutes or so) or because it really boot looped? And how do I reflash clockwordmod when I can't access my phone and sd card? Will appreciate your kind help...
I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for something too boot, and it should really never take longer than that. Can you tell me the steps you took to flash the rom(not to root it). and could you give some more info about your phone? are you s-on or s-off? And what do you mean by blank menus in clockwork mod? Do you know how to boot into your hboot menu? from there you can boot to fastboot and install the recovery from your pc. connect your phone to the pc while in fastboot mode and get your recovery.img file and type the following command from the command line:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img

Ok, here is the infomation. I live in Singapore, which is a part of Southeast Asia, my phone is the GSM version with HBoot 1.530007(i cant remember the decimal placing).
I firstly used HTCDEV to unlock my bootloader, which went well, then I went to evohacks to get the conventional rooting method, which went well too. And it all came when I was careless, and I accidentally forgot to wipe the data and cache of my evo before i flashed the rom. And now it gets stuck in the "V" logo loading phase. If the hboot menu is the menu where I have to press the powerbutton and the volume down button then yes. I can also get into my recovery, but the problem is that it shows a blank menu in (clockwordmod specifically), thus rendering whatever me helpless. i have downloaded the PG86IMG.zip and Im waiting for it to finish. So how do I go about solving this matter? This phone is my only asset and I really want to save it...
Blank menu as in for example when I click "Reboot", or "Factory Reset" or perhaps "Restore" in the CWD Recovery, it just shows me a blank menu with the CWD logo in the background, with no options or drop down words or whatsoever. And the sad thing is that I did not make any recoveries at all.... So I plucked my sd card out, and now im waiting to finish downloading the PG86IMG.zip to put on my sd and into my phone, and flash it to revert it back to stock and stuff..... I hope this works
Ok, well as long as you can get to either hboot or recovery you'll be ok. I would recommend flashing 4ext recovery, as it has never failed me and seems to help others. here is the link to it. Download that and pull the recovery.img out and flash that from your pc with the command I gave above. It sounds like you are either pushing the wrong button in the recovery or it might just be messing up for some reason. Is it the touchscreen version of clockworkmod?

The recovery is the free version, so it shouldn't be the touch one. May I ask, what do you mean by recovery.img? I emptied my SD card so that I can put the PG86IMG.zip into it later. Any more specific steps you can give? Sorry but Im really a newb in the android world

The recovery.img is the image that the phone flashes to install the recovery. If you look in the zip I posted in the link you'll see that file in there. the one I posted is the 4ext touch recovery. you can manually flash that file to your phone in case you can't get it to boot(like your case). I would suggest trying the 4ext recovery I linked, or maybe try to boot to recovery again and see if its touch based. Were the menus working when you flashed the virtuous rom, and then it stopped working?
OH stupid me. Whoops. Actually I CAN navigate. Ive been pressing the wrong button all this while. I pressed the power instead of the camera, which is the select button. Whoops. seems like CMD was working after all. sorry...
ok but still, can I just attempt to install the RUU file I downloaded in the CWD menu? Will it work? Will my phone be reverted back to its original unrooted state? I saw someone say it could...
There is something bugging me though. My SD card is now completely empty. Will it have any negative effects on what i do?
I thought something like that was happening, glad you got it sorted. Try to wipe everything and reinstall your virtious rom again first. yes the PG86IMG.zip will return you back to complete stock, recovery and all. So if you do that you might have to re-root all over again.

So theoretically flashing the ROM shouldn't take more than... around 15 minutes?
correct
Its now 10 minutes and so far my phone had made 2 major vibrations. So if this doesn't work, can i just wipe all the data again, put the PG86IMG.zip in my phone, go to recovery to install it, and then I just press reboot right?

Sometimes sense roms can take a bit, but if its vibrating than it should be working. if not just put the PG86IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot and let it do its thing. no need to wipe data for that.
So I recently installed Nightmare Sense v1.3. I used the latest CWM, and wiped/factory reset, wiped cache and wiped dalvik. I cannot get past the boot screen. I tried reflashing but that didn't help. Someone please help, the thread doesn't contain clear instructions on how to install so I kinda went on my own here. Thanks.

I had a hard time at first to. Before you try again, go to the thread and download the newer 1.4 version. It is Somewhere around page 162 I think. Then make sure you wipe all partitions before installing the zip in recovery. Good Luck
I'm currently having the exact same problem.
The strangest thing is - the phone was booting just fine yesterday.
I had Nightmare Sense 4.0 v1.2 on the phone and noticed that if the battery power got somewhat low it would sometimes shut the whole phone off (crash it off). I'd have to hold the power button to turn it back of, of course. Then after a week or so the phone would seemingly freeze at the HTC boot screen. I'd then have to pull the battery and then turn the phone back on, at which point it would boot up normally. Then today (well, I guess last night, technically) the phone would no longer move past the boot screen.
I can still get into CWM Recovery (v5.0.2.7) and do all of the thing I could do before, but doing complete wipes of everything, trying to load a new ROM, etc, do nothing to help. Plus, CWM is constantly telling me "E: Can't Mount /cache/recovery/command" "log" "open log" "mount log" "open log", which I don't remember it saying before.

Just flash a RUU for your carrier, assuming you know the directions already. If not, there are guides that gives you step-by-step directions on how to flash it.
RUUs fixes all software-related issues. From there, just flash a new recovery (I recommend 4Ext), and then flash a ROM.

Mine phone won't even let me install a different ROM.
I realized, when trying to wipe data/factory reset that it says "E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p31" (it says the same thing for 30 as well).
In other words it almost seems like the ROM corrupted the recovery tool or something. I can't format anything and therefore can't change anything. The phone is dead-locked with a broken Nightmare Sense 4.0 v1.3 ROM on it that won't move past the boot screen.

I will do this now, assuming I CAN flash an RUU when the recovery won't let me format.

I realized, when trying to wipe data/factory reset that it says "E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p31" (it says the same thing for 30 as well).
In other words it almost seems like the ROM corrupted the recovery tool or something. I can't format anything and therefore can't change anything. The phone is dead-locked with a broken Nightmare Sense 4.0 v1.3 ROM on it that won't move past the boot screen.

I will do this now, assuming I CAN flash an RUU when the recovery won't let me format.

There's no need to format anything, and have you even read the instructions? You DO NOT flash this in recovery. Please read the instructions in its entirety before proceeding!

No worries, friend.
I used the RUU and got things worked out but MY GOD does it take a long time to go from where I had the problem back to where the phone was directly before said problem. Use the RUU, re-update the phone, re-unlock the bootloader, re-root the phone, re-install a recovery tool, re-install ROM of choice, re-install ALL software and saved info, etc.
Between all of the work and the loading we're talking hours.

That's why we have S-Off phones. Much quicker than doing all that

Indeed. S-Off is your friend
If you had S-Off, you could've used my tool which would cut down the time needed to only 10-15 minutes.

Well, now ya' tell me!
Ya, my phone had (has) S-Off.
Hmm, well I solved one problem only to gain another MUCH worse problem.
After installing Nightmare Sense 4 v1.4 I now have zero sound of any kind. No phone speaker, no external speaker, no headphone sound, the phone does ring or give a dial tone, I can't hear people talking even though I can connect to them, etc.
Time to re-install yet again!
Okay, so basically I flashed googy max kernel, then stupidly, after reading the instructions several times, i flashed cyanogenmod as the 2nd rom on the dual boot, but i did that without wiping the system like it said, so obviously it bootloops at the cm screen. And i never installed a recovery on that side of the dual boot. so basically now, every time i boot up the phone it bootloops at the cm start screen, and i can't get into a recovery to fix it, and i don't know how to get back to the first boot rom which is okay. i can boot into download mode and have tried several times to install cwm on the second side, but to no avail, it still won't let me boot into recovery or the bootloader. So right now i'm terrified i've completely irreparably bricked it, but i just hope theres someone of higher intelligence than me that knows how to fix it
AFAIK, from reading the Siyah thread (Which googy is based on) isn't there a key combination you can press at boot to determine how you boot.?
There is only one recovery per device btw so hold vol up, home and power to get into recovery

No problem. Better to ask questions when you don't know...
