Root eris stuck on boot screen

My phon worked fine yesterday the battery happened to die on me over night. I plugged it in let it charge for a while (about an hour) tried to turn it on and it is stuck on the boot screen.

The trackball light up and blinked a few times but the screen doesn't move.

I don't have a warranty or anything on the phone as it was gifted to me. I hope there is a fix any ideas? (I have tired everything that I have seen on the other threads here)

When I am in the system recovery screen and i try to flash zip from sd card it says "can't mount SDCARD"

What do I do?
 
Thanks for the help!
I got it running but it only charges to 9% and shuts off.

You're rooted? Charge it "fully" and then (while the phone is still plugged in) restart the phone in Recovery. Go to the wipe menu, wipe battery stats, and then restart the phone. It *should* read 100% charge, or it should start charging.

Or perhaps you have a bad battery and it needs to be replaced.

When I have my lock screen on it also says SPRINT and I am on the Verizon network. Any ideas on that?

You reflashed a ROM? The developer probably developed this ROM from a Sprint Hero build and never changed the lockscreen text to say Verizon Wireless. You can make that say anything that you want. See the Kaos Froyo FAQ (which will work with any ROM, as far as I know.)

https://github.com/punk-kaos/KaosFroyo/wiki/kaosfroyo-faq#UIstuff

(The FAQ says to push it with ADB. It's probably easier to make that file eri.xml, copy it to your SD card and then use the app Root Explorer to copy the file to /data (or I believe that eStrongs will do this as well)

well,first and formost... youre in the eris forum,so you prolly wont get the best advice for your glacier here ;)

but a couple of things that i assume to be true across the board:
-the triangle and exlcamation point youre seing is the factory recovery wich you are not allowed to acess.
-the most common reasons that hboot will not find a xxxxIMG file are:
1)your sd card is nto formatted FAT32
2) it is not named EXACTLY right. a very common error is adding the ".zip" when renaming the file on a windows machine. windows will automatically add the .zip,so if you typed it in the file the phone is seing is "PD15IMG.zip.zip" causing it to not be recognizable as an hboot IMG flashable file. also double check what your IMG file should be named and make sure youve got it right. all phones are different... for the eris,ours is PB00IMG.
3)you put the file inside folder,not on the root of the SD.

at any rate relax,youre not totally bricked as youre still able to access hboot(and would be recovery if you had one) so all you need to do is get a functional rom back on the phone.

just be careful what you do here,as fastboot/hboot is your last attempt at getting it working.

since you are s-on,you cant flash just anything in hboot. you may be able to flash some sort of factory RUU that will get you back to an unrooted,working phone. again,be carefull as some ruus may have some consequences that go along with them(like not being rootable by some methods).

your best bet,IMO,would be to get adb up and running,and find some instructions somewhere to use it to flash a custom recovery image in fastboot. that way,you can simply boot to recovery from hboot and either restore a backup,or flash a new rom.

your phone was rooted before you got yourself in this pickle,correct? ;) if it was not,its possible you could take it to a store and let them try and puch firmware to it. if it ends up bricked from there,they hopefully accept responsibility and replace it for you.

last and not least,you may need an sd card adapter to plug your phones sd card into your pc so you can check how it is formatted,and possibly rename or move you xxxxIMG file.

good luck! :)

So your phone found in an IMG file and tried to install it? What was the file that you tried to install supposed to do? Ruu?

Did you verify the downloads integrety by comparing md5 sums?

thanks men for help me.


Actually I am new user and do not understand what he's talking if you can help me in that I would be quite grateful.

i am still unsure what you are trying to do,or what you have done prior to this point. that webpage has no directions that i can see,its just a file download host.

do you have other directions? what directed you to this particular file to download?

it looks like the update has failed on most parts... did it eventually finish the update it was in the middle of? or did you pull the battery? or did the battery just eventually wear down and the phone die?

hopefully it eventually finished,and asked if you wanted to reboot. if it died,or you pulled the battery out,i fear the outcome does not look so good for your phone.

will it still power on to hboot when you power on/volume down?

from the screen shots and other info it is apparent that your phone found a correctly named xxxxIMG file and tried to install it. everything but the radio failed to update,which hung.

it could be a bad download of the IMG file,or it could be your S-ON bootloader has a problem with it(tho that shouldnt have caused it to hang). im still unsure if your phone is still stuck on the "updating" screen or not,or if its not if it will still boot to hboot.

im sorry i cannot do anything more to help you. i think your best course of action is to make a post in the forum BC mentioned above,and/or ask your questions on the thread that you linked. im sure the glacier guys will be able to help you out :)
