I tried to install this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033653) on my friends Optimus T and something went wrong. I followed the instructions to the letter and after the format of the /system i couldn't actually flash the ROM because everything got deleted so i tried to restore the NANDROID that i had made and i couldn't because there was nothing there and now it just hangs at the boot up screen! PLEASE help me get this fixed
Well... may seem a bit obvious have you tried flashing a different rom from recovery yet? If you get really desperate I can supply you with the kdz file for titanium optimus 509.
Or u cud start a fresh wipe your sd card and store on of your fav roms on it and then flash it with recovery..Start afresh..If u can boot into recovery then no worries

I can't get anything onto the phone because it just gets stuck at boot. I don't know what to do. I have an SGS4G so all I have to do for my phone in this situation is use ODIN but that's not an option for this phone....thanks for the help in advance

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 Try this rom. it installed just fine on my Optimus T titanium. I used clockwork recovery to do so. assuming you can get to recovery which from turned off hold volume down+home then power. If you can;t get to recovery you will probably have to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479 however you would have to do it from emergency mode instead
Only two options:
1. If you can access the Recovery menu, then clear everything and flash a ROM again.
2. If you cannot, just flashed an official fimware back with kdz (use the links provided in the posts above). Then start all over again.
Simple

I think the issue your having is that adding the ext partion formats the sd card. Thus, the zip you are trying to flash is no longer there and you nandroid was deleted also. Boot back into recovery and select the usb mount option, transfer the zip you want to flash and then flash it. Simples
Ciaox simply missed the line out where is should say copy *************.zip to sd card before the bit about flashing it. I think this time following the instructions to closely caused this lol Man up
thanks mates, got it working with a a CM7 port (actually I had to go through 3 because two didn't have the Market for some reason
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Glad you got this resolved. But for future ease of flashing download a flashable zip containing the market. such as the one listed in the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072252

hey guys, im trying to flash the miui 1.6.24 rom onto my 2.2 fascinate. ive tried twice now and everytime i i try and flash, it starts the download for about 5 seconds, then just keeps rebooting the phone and says cant mount and does a countdown from 20 then reboots and repeats. i have had to odin back to stock 3 times already from this. any ideas why this is not working? and how can i get it to work? Thanks in advance
Have you read how to flsh to the cm7 & miui thread. Make sure you have the correct kernal, gapps and recovery. I think that is why you maybe getting stuck. Be sure to read how to get back to other roms if you choose to go back.

no i cant find that thread. the only one i can find is the how to go from cm7 or miui to another rom. but im trying to do the opposite
it just keeps saying "waiting for SD Card to mount" and counts down. then just keeps repeating
Can anybody help me?
I came from Nameless v4.1 and have a thread in Q and A that answers this but I'll tell ya how, it's basically the same steps since I odined back to stock.
Make sure that you have Andmer's latest miui build on the root of your SD card. Then assuming you already use the latest recovery (I had time's blue recovery) , wipe the big 3 (data, cache, delvik) > install from SD card > choose the miui rom > have a little patience > profit.
For me it did the count down 4 times before it actually mounted and finished the install. I don't know if the size of the SD card effects it in any way, concidering I'm only using a 4g, but it may take awhile. Again these are the steps I took and I haven't had any problems other than the one's already stated.

Yeah when it was doing the countdown I let it go before for about a half hour and it still list kept doing it and I had to Odin back to stock again. I didn't have the rom on the root of the SD card, I had it in a folder entitled root that I put all my roms on. I don't know if that would really make a difference
To be honest I'm not entirely sure. I've always put it on the root of the sd card. I guess at this point it wouldn't hurt to try. And again I'm not sure if the size of the card comes into play considering I'm using just a 4g card and not my stock 16g. Maybe someone else with more experience and overall know how can chime in to help. Sorry if I couldn't be of any help.

Maybe a bad d/l ?
I just switched to cm7 from miui then back and had no issues
Try redownloading
Sent from my MIUI Fascinate XDA App
Yeah I'm not using the stock card either. I'm using a 2gb Samsung and a 8gb sandisk. And I don't think its a bad download cuz I've tried doing it with all 3 versions of miui and it did it to all of them and the new cm7 and the cm7/miui kernel. I could get the old cm7 but when trying to flash the new one I get the countdown
I just tried again and let it do the countdown for a half hour so it tried about 40 times to mount the card. Any other suggestions?
I'm also needing a bit of advice on how to install MIUI on my Fascinate...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139400&highlight=AOSP+Gingerbread
Trying to install that. Downloaded the packages, but not sure what to do from there. I was going to load them into ODIN, but realized they aren't regular tar.gz packages...can I just load it with ROM Manager or what? I'm currently on 2.2.1, "Super Clean version 2.9 - EB01/EC16 Froyo leak root+Froyo Clockworkmodwith MALWARE protection".
Not to hijack, but seems we have similar questions.
You need to load in CWM, ROM manager is not compatible with the newer roms

Yeah trying to load MIUI 1.7.1 also and keep getting the error 7. Do we have to do it through odin?! cleared data, cache and dalvik, still no go. Did putting it in root make a difference? why cant it just work like the other roms lol! Sorry for taking your Thread away kendall316!
Thanks in advance if anyone figures it out! if i do, will post it.
I just bought a new 32GB MicroSD from Amazon. I format using Cloockwork recovery. After copying all my ROM's to the SD card everytime I try to flash a ROM it always say "no files found". All other app can read my microsd except clockwork recovery.
I am currently using Team Objection UCLE5 (If it matters)
ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.4.8
Thanks
I just updated the same version of CWM that you did with the same results so that you know you are not alone my friend Hopefully, we can get this sorted out soon. I was stock rooted when I noticed the issue.
Its this version of CWM...
It will only see your internal SD.
PITA.
so your card is fine.
Yup, happened to me last night. There's something wrong with the newest CWM Recovery, but as soon as I flashed the Touch CWM everything was back to normal.:good:
Thank you all. i will try the new touch recovery.

Probably a stupid question.. but I download Kies on my laptop and connect the phone to it correct?? Also will Kies get it from T-Mobile to At&t?
Yes download to computer and plug in, I think it will get it back to ATT but im not completely sure
Why even use kies? Just download a vanilla ics Rom that doesn't have the bloatware and flash it from cwm which the phone already has since it has a cm build loaded.
Please for the love of god don't run the ota ics.

Will installing just Vanilla ICS rom get rid of the Cyanogenmod9? The guy I bought it from was using the phone on T-Mobile, and I am on AT&T..
I guess vanilla is the wrong word since touchwiz is there but you get what im saying. Heres a link to a debloated stock Rom from one of our fine devs. Everything you want, nothing you don't.
http://d-h.st/Shk
1.Download to your sd card.
2.hold power button>restart>recovery
3.wait for phone to boot into recovery.
4.verify you can locate your Rom by selecting "install from internal sd card" and locating the zip file which will be located in "sd card>download".
5.if that is successful then go back to the first recovery menu and wipe system three times then wipe cache three times and then under "advanced" wipe dalvik three times.
6.Return to original menu and repeat step 4 but this time go ahead and tap the zip to install.
7.wait for install to finish and reboot.
Goodbye cm9, hello stock.
Fyi ditch samsungs keyboard asap. Biggest piece of **** I've ever seen. Its a bad joke.
Wipe and flash stock .

OK - so I followed all these instructions and it is rebooting to Cyanogenmod9 still....?? I don't see anything different but it said the install was complete. I think I just wiped my entire SD card... banging my head on the wall.
Maybe I would've been better to pay the pros the 200 bucks they wanted! lol
Is it going to brick the phone if I try it again?
Let me get this straight. You wiped the device and installed the Rom successfully and it still booted into cm9? There's no way. I don't see how that's possible. Not if the Rom installed successfully. Try again. Same procedure. The recovery is clockwork recovery right? The text should be blue
Not to be a jerk but it seems like you don't know much about this, just go back to stock, get used to the phone and then flash a rom

If you do the following you should have no problem putting back stock ICS:
1. Factory reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe dalvik cache.
4. Install rom (i recommend putting it on external sd if you have one in)
5. Reboot. Done!
I also recommend using black star ICS, very good rom.

Yes and no. I think I figured out what I was doing wrong though..
I put the zip file in the internal SD instead of the external, and the file I was installing was not a complete version. (No idea what happened in the download but I am going to try again this morning and see if it's successful.)
Thank you SO much!! I'll let ya know as soon as I get through this attempt!
EDIT: I put the zip file on external SD. Did the triple wipe of data, cache and Dalvik. When in Clockworkmod - I select the zip file from the external SD and it tells me No files found. I tried remounting both SD cards and still "no files found".
I tried flashing the Mean Bean rom. I'm not a noob when it comes to flashing, but I made a noob mistake. I just got my phone and forgot to image before I wiped and tried flashing. The rom was stuck at "format /system" for 20 minutes. I held down the power button, and now, since I didn't image the stock, I can't start the phone (it gets stuck at the white screen) and now when I try to install the rom again, the zip is missing.
I have no idea what to do next. I am downloading all of the ruu files and I'm going to run each one until one works, but I'm not sure if that's even going to fix the problem.
Any help would be more than appreciated.

Can you expand a little bit? I went into settings and there wasn't anything there to mount. I went into mount and marked "mount SDCard," and I went back to install and nothing popped up. I do have a ROM on my SD card, but its not the same rom. Its a rom I know that works.
EDIT: I noticed it was wanting to use an internal SD card, not an external. Switched it, and bam, works. I'll let you know if it flashes properly. Thank you for the help. This forum is the best, without a doubt. Never lets me down.

Got it to flash properly. Thank you again everyone, especially gmoe65!
Do you have any data you need or can you do full wipe? if that is possible this is a easy way to flash a ruu. 1 download the ruu from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744700&highlight=how+to+root the one that is titled PJ75IMG.zip 2. you will need to put it on your external sd card somehow ( easy way would be taking it out of phone and putting it in a different one then move it using that phone, or mabye using twrp recovery if possible make sure it is the external sd though), make sure you put it on the root of the external sd card. 3. boot into bootloader and the file should be recognized and it will ask you if you want to processed click volume up for yes this will bring you back to stock ics and it will also flash a image to the phone. hope this helps
