I am believing that i have damaged the partitions internally.

(Thanks CM 7 )

Anyways i can only get into HBOOT i have flashed the recovery radio baseband splash system and everything else under the sun back to stock. Nothing has helped. I have Tried to fix the partitions but i cant because it is in hboot and seen as an abi not adb.


IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE DO! I have been trying to get help from numerous forums and still have yet to fix it



Ps. Please dont post things like "use this PB31IMG and update" because none of the PB31IMG's have worked, Use factory reset, because that puts me back into a reboot cycle *~this is my problem By the way~*


The only thing i can use is fast boot and simlock. Thats it. :(



So Please HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLP!

First off, how the hell did you root? Have you tried getting into ClockworkMod Recovery?

Standard unrEVOked


Trust me I have flashed many new recoverys IE clockwork, stock ect and i cant get into any of them. Which isn't good because the recovery runs without the standard boot up.

This is an advanced problem that cannot be solved easily :/ I have to get INTO the phone via computer ANYTHING through the SD card will not work.

Broken Partitions man..

I too, have questions about your PB31IMG efforts...is it being accepted and loaded while in hboot? If so, you'll see a progress bar along the right side of the screen as it loads. If this has not been the case, you MUST have your SD card formatted to FAT32 for the PB31IMG file to be recognized in hboot. Also, have you tried running the RUU program instead? I would make sure you've utilized every avenue for the above options first. If not, I have been through the following procedure successfully with 2 members of this forum although it's been awhile....

SOLVED: messed up partitions on internal storage - CyanogenMod Forum

You'll need intermediate ADB skills. Do you know what caused this in the first place? Accidentally format the internal storage intead of the SD card? Just some random event?

Ok it see's a fastboot device. Now will i be able to "push" things into the phone via this?



EDIT: got it into code: [fastboot eom rebootRUU] and now running the ruu into it.
no good rebootcycle

Possible idea if it's recognizing the phone in fastboot...

Download the following file to your PC, then unzip and place ONLY the .img onto the root of your C:\

http://dougpiston.com/files/Recovery/PB31IMG-recovery-clockworkmod-3.0.0.8.zip

Then access hboot > fastboot like you did previously and enter the following command:

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.8-inc.img

I am not responsible for any damage.

What happens when you highlight recovery in hboot and then press power button? Nothing whatsoever? Do you get the exclamation point inside the triangle screen?

No it goes back into reboot cycle.


Ah doug lol i will give this a try. But last time i did a boot recovery it said remote not allowed


AHAH.... Remote not allowed :/ while writing recovery

i Tried flashing this though the sd card [PB31IMG] and it didn't do anything so would it even work it i flashed through sdk?

well what we need to do is find out why remote is not allowed
Once i get passed that i might be able to boot into recovery by pulling the info from the computer, buttttttttttttttttt







WE NEED MORE POEPLE ON THIS TOPIC!!! TELL YOUR FRIENDS; TELL THE SUPA MODS; TELL THE F*CKING RUSSIANS FOR ALL I CARE! lolololol :]

I've been watching this with some interest, mainly because I, too am rooted, (because I can basically follow simple instructions), but would be hard-pressed to comprehend much of what you're saying in this thread.

What makes me nervous is it would appear to this layman that this unfortunate fellow's phone might be bricked, and no one seems to know why?

OP, any idea how this happened?

(CM7 was my original ROM, but experienced numerous force closes. I suspect this was because I didn't properly install GAPPS, but then again, I know just enough to get myself in trouble.) I now use Redemptive REVOlution (sense version) and it hasn't force closed on me once, so I've left well enough alone. I was just getting curious to maybe giving CM7 another try, and wondering if anyone out there

a) has actually bricked a phone or
b) has some trepidations based on what we've been reading above?

O DEAR GOD DOUG FOUND ME ON THIS FORUM TOO :0
LOL

Here is the thing (doug i posted this also on the other forum)
The phone i have is SLCD so the .77 will make my phone only show a black scree and when i tried to boot up into hboot i recieved one vibraition and a black screen. Needless to say i freaked out. I looked at my drive because *THANK GOD* it was still sending info through to the computer. It was in RUU mode. (not really a mode but My HTC was the driver name) I ran the RUU and it got rid of the .77 ENG hboot.


Im trying to figure out the differences between the codes on the non SLCD and the SLCD to see if maybe i could make .92 an ENG HBOOT. (not looking good)

I do not know why CM7 did this to my phone but i will NOT be using it again lol.... CM6 i ran without issues.
