Well 1st that question belongs in Q&A : )

Power dwn the phone & hold the power button & volume dwn button at the same time until it goes into the fastboot screen then scroll dwn to recovery & select it by pressin the power button,u should now be in clockwrk recovery,try to rewipe everythin & flash again.. Now if u try that & all u get is cnt mount data/cache errors,then ur Emmc chip went bad... At that point google search emmc chip for mytouch 4g & read... : )
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvotony:
What's the point in searching for it it means you bricked
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryenbeh:
ok i will try and see what he says. ill pm you back tony. thanks a lot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryenbeh:
my bad i forgot to answer your question. ok we tried reflashing everything. nothing of that kind of error showed up. it just said complete. then when we tried booting up the phone.. it just got stuck on the blue circle thing.

tony, i sent you an email. anyone else willing to help?

i was thinking.. maybe the cm7 that we downloaded was corrupt? he said he has clockwork version 5.X.X.X

not sure if thats gonna make a difference but yeah. also since we cant go to the phone since it gets stuck on the blue circle, we tried flashing cm7. in the end, the last line says "installation aborted"

so right now, im completely clueless. i have searched everywhere and tried other methods to see what will work. my phone is rooted with royal ginger and everything is fine with it. i have already restarted maybe 10x the last couple of hours trying to help my friend.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Sounds like the sudden power lose from pulling the battery corrupted some system data. Boot into recovery and reflash the rom. Battery pulls can and have been known to corrupt system data making the rom unbootible.

I would start from stock and reflash the stock rom and start from a clean base
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryenbeh:
no. im sure this is not the case. we finished rooting the phone around 10pm last night. from then on, everything went well. i even showed him some other ideas on what app to download and all that. he took out the battery probably 3 hours later and thats when it just got stuck at the blue circle cm7 splash screen.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes pulling the battery without allowing it to shut down properly will and has caused this, while not very common I have been in the same boot my self when I used to run a CM based rom.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryenbeh:
ok nevermind that. he said, he restarted his phone. he didnt take out the battery. he just decided to restart it and thats when the blue circle got stuck.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Best bet would be to redownload the rom, boot into recovery and mount it so you can copy the new rom zip to the sd card. Do a full wipe and then reflash the rom. Other then that his only chance maybe going back to a stock rom and doing a clean rom flash just in case
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] underyourskyn:
help

follow directions slowly and to the letter need not hurry when flashing or acheiving s=off..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryenbeh:
i followed everything correctly and accurately. i even had him double check what i was doing to make sure. we rooted perfectly and flashed cm7 without a problem. i am not sure what happened when he restarted his phone.

can any of you guys speak to me directly? maybe via aim or any kind of instant messenger? i really wanna help him fix this problem but im not sure what else to do.

So honestly you may have a bad emmc, its a problem that has plagued the MT4G for quite some time now.

If you happen to read the bad emmc chip thread you will notice that some people that rooted with the gfree method, this one -->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996 bricked devices.

Please stand by and I will attempt to find the thread with the info on the bad emmc. I hope that your friend doesn't have a bad emmc.

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081243&highlight=Bad+emmc+chip

I believe that is the one. I can't be 100% sure but if you do run into problems search in the main sections. i.e. where it says general, Q&A, acc, dev, etc. and just search bad emmc. Some stuff about the screens will come up, you can ignore those. I really hope this helped in your efforts to fix your friends phone.

Worse comes to worse, try and get tmo to replace it, dont mention root and if they said you voided your warranty, throw it against the wall and claim it for the 130 dollars. BNIBs are going for close to 300 and ULN are going for 200-250 from where I am from.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hakvdub:
Does anyone know how I can get root on my G2? it has been recently updated to 2.3.4 with the official update.

Anyone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefpaul:
android 2.3.4 for the hero can't exist...:)))) You have to have a custom ROM so you can get this version....maybe you got updated to 2.1 update 1...

To get root @ hero you can do this via universal androot...it's a app that can make root after you install it from the sd card...just open it and select to root it, and after that you will see an icon that has the name Superuser

Stefan:)

btw if you say that you have android 2.3.4...can i u take a picture so i can see:cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
1) Don't make new threads all the time, there was just created a new thread about this -.-

2) You don't have an HTC Hero G2 touch, you have an HTC G2, and I think that is the phone known as Desire Z. Does your phone have a hardware slider keyboard like i think it has? If so your in the totally wrong forum...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sktsswth:
Hi all,

I searched long and hard for an answer to this one, but I can't make heads or tails of it. It started when I noticed that any apps I installed wouldn't stay through reboots, and any uninstalled apps came right back. So I tried reflashing Flashback 7.0 and 7.2, but the apps were still there. It does look like 7.2 installed correctly, although the apps were still there.

Then I tried flashing several different roms (TnT, Cyanogen, Vegantab, stock), but they wouldn't boot. Flashing back to Flashback allowed the tablet to boot, but the data was still there.

I tried manually formatting /data through cwm, but I got the lovely "Error formatting /data" message. Doing the normal cwm data wipe and repartition (4096,0 and 2048,0) didn't do anything either. I tried NVFlashing back to stock 4349, no good. I tried Flashback loaded with cwm 3.0.2.8 and the stock 1.2 recovery, but no avail. I blew away the partition table and nvflashed, no good. I tried pulling the battery, no good. I tried flashing the FORMAT utility, still stuck with this data. No matter what I do, it will only boot after installing Flashback 7, and then it retains the state it was in before going wonky.

The tablet works more-or-less for every app currently installed, apps load fine, all hardware appears to work fine, but once it's rebooted everything goes back to how it was when it went belly-up.

This has gotten the better of me, I'm hoping there's some nuance that you brilliant folk know of that I'm missing. Thank you for your time.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Both /data & /sdcard reside on the internal sd and are not touched by nvflash or by installing a new rom (all of which go on the internal nand (not sdcard). There are serveral ways to clear them. You can clear /data by doing a "factory/data reset" & repartitioning in CWM wll destroy/recreate both /data & /sdcard (so make sure you backup anything you want to save on /sdcard before you repartition). The standard repartition is 2048,0, but in some situations it is benefitial to repartition to 4096, 0 & then immediately repartition back to 2048,0.

After installing a new rom you should always do a factory/data reset, wipe cache & wipe dalvik to clear out data/installs from the prior rom.

Al
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sktsswth:
Thanks Al,

I forgot to mention, I've already repartitioned several different times, going up to 4096,0 then down to 2048,0 as I've seen recommended elsewhere. The wipe data/factory reset option also doesn't seem to be affecting the data staying put.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
I remember a person with a similar situation. I believe rajeevvp had the person do some testng & it came out (in that case) to be a bad internal sd. He developed a way to use the external sdcard as the internal sd. I'll see if I can find the post or you can PM him.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sktsswth:
Looks like the same issue all around. Thank a million, here's to hoping it works.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Get me a dmesg output first.

Second, since you're on the 1.2 bootloader branch, don't flash the custom CWM zip file which is only for bl 1.1. Just skip that step (step 1). The rest of the steps are bootloader-independent. Step 1. is only for letting you make backups and restores using the external SD card instead of the internal one.

Third, I'd like to see the results of the test commands given in the thread that aabbondanza posted above.

Finally, for CWM 3.x and higher, I have another (and easier) technique that I think will work for backups and restores, but, I never tested as I didn't want to change bootloaders. Let me know if you're willing to be a guinea pig for testing this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sktsswth:
rajeevvp, the result of the test directory/file creation on /data and /sdcard were similar to the other poster, with the directories and files not being retained after unmount or reboot.

The results of the test commands are attached. Thanks again for all your help. Additionally, of course I'm willing to be a guinea pig for anything you've got in mind.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
From the dmesg1.txt file I see that you have the non-standard internal SD card make that seems to cause this sort of problem:

You can either return the tablet to VS or try my workaround hack along with a new CWM for 1.2-based bootloaders (soon).

Either way, I'd like to continue this discussion further in this thread.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
Since some of these tablets are showing up with different internal sd cards than most of us, is it possible that when we are having these people nvflash back to stock, that the bct's config of these new chips would be different & we are causing the problem by flashing the incorrect bct back to the device? Would it be safer to modify our nvflashes to read & use the user's bct when nvflashing back to stock?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whi7eRa66iT:
To my understanding, installing a new Kernel has some risks (more so than installing a ROM) so why is it that there are virtually no MD5SUM values listed with their kernel downloads?

For instance, I know the gingertiny 08_31_11 Kernel is hosted off site but I would still think having a MD5SUM for comparison would be helpful and if nothing else, help alleviate my nervous nellies... When I download ROMS, they almost always have a checksum value but the Kernels do not.

What am I missing... ( I did a search of the forums before posting this and there are a few other comments asking the same thing with no real answer...) Thanks.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br125:
I believe you're getting kernels mixed up with radios.

If something is corrupted in a kernel chances are that it won't even flash. The wrong radio could lead to an instant brick, but once again, if it was corrupted it probably would error out and not flash.

You should be safe blindly flashing kernels. radios you should check the md5 (I've blindly flashed those forever too but some people here are offended by suggesting that practice)

Anyhow, if you don't feel comfortable flashing something without an md5 just ask in the appropriate thread and I'm sure the op or someone can help out by posting one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'm one of those "Check your radio MD5!!!!!!!!!!!" guys. Can't remember ever getting one that didn't match, but some thing I don't feel like risking. As for kernels and ROMs, I could care less. With a kernel it doesn't matter, a ROM has the kernel baked into the boot image, and with something as big as a ROM, eventually you're going to have a write error given the unreliable nature of NAND memory so checking the MD5 isn't a big deal.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whi7eRa66iT:
Cool. I understood that to be true with Roms not being a big deal since if it failed, just use recovery and try again. Just was not sure about the Kernel. Thanks for the help in getting me to understand their nature.

I appreciate it... :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aydc:
In almost all custom launchers, dock icons are smaller than normal icons, which makes them harder to press, especially on smaller screens.

Other than ADW EX, I don't know any other launcher that allows us to change the dock icon size or hide the dock all together and put normal icons in that space. For this reason, ADW is the only launcher that I can use. I can't use LauncherPro, Go Launcher EX, Zeam, etc. etc.

This is a horrible idea that doesn't make sense at all to me. I mean, what is the reason behind the dock icons being smaller? What purpose does it serve? Is there any logical explaination that I'm missing?

Anyway, if you know of any other launcher that allows normal size dock icons (other than Touchwiz, please) please post here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabe3ab:
yes you're right

dock apps must be larger than the other because they're used almost more than desktop apps

unfortunintly I don't know any other launcher with big icons

I have followed the rooting method 2 times now and I keep having the same problem. My phones lock screen comes on about every 15 seconds and stays on for about 10 seconds. This completely kills the battery in about 3 hours with no use of the phone at all. I've rooted and in-rooted twice now. No problems at all when I'm stock. I don't do anything to the kernel, either. I just use what the ROM comes with. I've tried CWM7 and two Sense ROM'S. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
hmmmm very odd. did you do full wipes when installing new roms? i've had quite a few rooted phones and have never seen this issue personally. maybe your power button is schitzing out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
Both times that I've rooted, this happens. It doesn't do this unrooted, though. I used the guide on YouTube linked from droidforum.net and I got the links for the zips from there, too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
I did full wipes both times from the recovery menu.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
very odd I'm stumped. did you root with revolutionary?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
that's the method i used. the first time i did it was on 2.3.3 and the second time was on 2.2.1. i was hoping that that would make some kind of difference, but it didn't.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
tell you what. try rerooting then after revolutionary kicks you into recovery just flash a custom ROM instead of the root zip. the custom ROM will be rooted anyway. wipe fist of course just to be safe
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
this is the walk through that i used and the links.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnlnWW8tsvo&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

do you think it could have anything to do with the links? maybe they're not current?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
so to be clear. flash back to stock unrooted gingerbread. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. make sure a custom ROM is on your sd. wipe then flash ROM zip. don't install the root zip. don't know if that will do it just brainstorming
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
that's how I rooted. no sense flashing the root zip if your just gonna flash a custom rooted ROM anyway
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
what do you mean my "root zip"?

i run Revolutionary, then install CWM and SU. i even had this problem when i was only rooted, no custom ROM's, kernals, or root apps installed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
that's what I mean don't install su. skip that and just flash a custom ROM. cuz the ROM you flash will be rooted anyway. i've had trouble with an su zip on another phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
ok, got it. should i just skip that step or would i just finish the process there. sorry, i don't remember if that's the last step.

by not installing SU, does that change anything? will everything still work?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
no every thing will still work its how I got my phone romd and rooted. ok you want to go to stock 2.3.3 not 2.2.1. if u can't find the ruu for the gb stock let me know. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. boot into recovery and wipe everything then install a custom ROM of your choice. if you flash to gb stock from hboot make sure you delete it from your sd before running revolutionary or you won't be able to enter recovery without adb
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
ok, i think i got it. i'll let my phone upgrade to 2.3.3 and then start. should i put the .zip for the ROM i want on my SD before i start so that i can install it in recovery?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
yes. if you have cwm recovery DO NOT TAKE AN OTA UPDATE USE AN RUU
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
I am currently uprooted. I'm on 2.2.1. Are you saying don't take the OTA update?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
if your not rooted and have the stock recovery installed its ok
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
Ok, ill go from here. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
yep I hope that helps. if not I would think maybe hardware issue
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
If it is a hardware issue what can be done. I can take it back to Best Buy since I have insurance with them, but what can be done.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
well not much that I know of. its just very odd it doesn't happen if your not rooted. did u try my suggestion yet? do u use setcpu when rooted or do any undervolting?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
I won't get to try until tomorrow evening. I'll let you know how it goes. I haven't used SetUP to do anything. Is there something that you would suggest?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
No I was gonna say if u undervolt that can typically cause problems like that. Man I'm baffled if it still does it try using setcpu and bump up your min clock speed just a tad. My captivate didn't want to wake from sleep right and a slight bump to the min clock speed fixed it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
ok, it's done. everything went great and when i got to the "install SU" i skipped it and installed one of newt's ROM's. that was correct, right?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
Yep. Did it fix your issue?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mikecolorama:
we'll see. it always started a couple of days after i rooted. is it me, or does that make all of this seem even more confusing? i'll let you know. thanks again!

[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Actually, in general Sensation has improved all the mentioned things compared to previous HTC phones. Soooo, just bad experience really, it's not common.

Sensation over HD2? Well, i came from Desire, and expected something out of this world, so got disappointed. The only MASSIVE improvement ove hd2 is the screen, the rest of it, well, an improvement but not the one to die for.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Definitely not. I will never buy a LCD screen phone again, simply because LCD screens are worthless in sunlight. I certainly appreciate the qHD resolution that the Sensation has, but as soon as phones start coming out with improved SAMOLED+ (meaning fixing some issues such as odd colors) screens that also have good resolution (qHD or up), I'll be looking to switch.
