Hi guys,
First off I want to say this site is great in what it is doing for the mobile phone world! This is my first post and I am a noob so be gentle haha! Well ok, i've messed up my g1 phone and its almost bricked. I think I have identified two problems:
Problem 1:
I was trying to partition my sd card using a method from a site called theunlockr.com. Where they used the apps2sd software:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_7n1g8jXgY
After performing the procedure, my 2 gig sd card cannot be read on my computer (comes up with "insert disc") and cannot be read on my phone as well. My SD card is completely wiped and I tried formatting it again but it still cannot be read.
Problem 2:
I tried to reboot my phone and now it gets to g1 tmobile screen but no further. To turn the phone off I have to take out the battery.
I can get into the recovery utility using the pwr and home buttons so I do not believe it is bricked, but as my computer cannot read the sd card, I am not able to copy any roms to make any progress.
My question is whether if after buying a new sd card and formatting it, can I simply reflash of my ROM by doing "alt & S" to make it work? The reason why I ask is whether I should simply send it back to TMob and play dumb to get a new phone or buy a new sd card and usb reader.
I am looking at it too simply and there is more to it? E.g have I messed around too much and damaged the file system links etc on my phone. Will a reflash of the cynogen rom using the recovery utility completely reset my phone and get me passed the boot screen loader to the operating system?
I had the following set up on my phone:
Firmware: Cyanogen 4.02
Recovery Image: 1
Recovery Utility build: JF v1.43
Thanks for your input!
Mepow!
Reflashing your phone if you messed up partion it will not work, if you pop out your sdcard and then try to boot it prob will, try a card reader and format and repartion or you can try recovery console and type ums_enable to try to mount your sd card while connect usb to your computer and try to format it that when and when you are done type ums_disable and then type reboot to reboot the phone
thanks tried that in the recovery console but it came up with
"ubs_enable not found". My computer unfortunately does not recognise the sd card.
You gotta type ums_enable not ubs as you said in the last post
Hi all
My Xperia Z goes into bootloop NOT after I have partitioned the sd card, BUT when I use link2sd to make SCRIPT? My sd card is sandisk 64GB, i have tried with a 2GB sd card but it worked?
yeah, I have the same problem. Luckily, without the sd card at boot the Xperia Z boots up just fine and once it's booted I can also put back in the micro sd and access all the contents. I "only" need to know how I can fix the boot with the micro sd inserted. Do I need to edit, delete or rename some file or script?
I have a "install-recovery.sh" (382 bytes and includes text with the information "added by link2sd") and a smaller "install-recovery.sh.ori" (38 bytes) file. The latter one I assume is the original one before link2sd created its script and wrote it into the "install-recovery.sh"?! I have no idea. But I guess since it is smaller and the file ending "ori" could indicate "original". Could I just delete the "install-recovery.sh" and rename the other one back to "install-recovery.sh"
Both of these files are under "system/etc". I don't have a "init.d" folder or at least I can't find it. I read somewhere that I need this for Link2SD to run properly. However, I don't want it to run, I just want it to remove completly.
The reason I'm into this trouble is, that my Xperia Z has only 3GB internal memory left and I have a 64GB microsd card which I assumed had still a second partition on it from a previous handset. So I downloaded Link2SD, started it and let it create a mounting script, after boot the bootloop occured. Now I know that there is no second partition and I wanna get rid of the script and loop. A simple deinstall of Link2SD was not enough.
I also have the CWM recovery for locked bootloaders installed, if that matters (this recovery works fine).
I've attached the two files. Maybe someone can look into them and tell me what's wrong and what I need to change in order for my phone to boot up with inserted microsd card.
Can someone share their original "install-recovery.sh"?
I would edit or delete the "install-recovery.sh" myself, but I'm really afraid to make things even worse than they are now, for instance no boot at all, deleted apps and data.
Can anyone please help me?
Edit: I found the solution!! After hours of searching I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40471594&highlight=remove+link2sd#post40471594 with "lousou76s" posting.
I was quite scared to break even more, but then was brave enough to try it out.
I followed his steps exactly (although I did not have an "init.d" folder and therefore not the file in step one. But it didn't matter, I did what he wrote, inserted my microSD card again and it booted flawlessly! So glad I got this figured out. Stupid Link2SD.
Now I only have to find a way to cope with the limited internal space on my XZ and the fact that I have plenty of space on my microSD but can't use it for apps.
Same problem
After install link2sd and create the 2nd partition, I had the same problem. Reboot loop until take of the SD Card. Anyone managed to get Link2sd working?

Link2sd Xperia Z partition bootloop
Hello all,
I've encountered the same issue on my brand new Xperia Z. This is my 4th Android device, and I've never experienced any problems with Link2sd, until the Xperia Z. No matter what file allocation table I use to format the 2nd MicroSD partition, it just keeps getting stuck in the boot loop. Initially it gave me an unsupported file format (and invalid argument) error. Now (after I reflashed the newest unbranded ROM), there are no more error codes, but after Link2sd prompts to select ext2, ext3, ext4, fat32, etc, regardless of which one I choose, it just keeps booting and getting stuck on the flashing Sony screen (and the only temporary workaround is to eject the SD card).
As mentioned above, I've tried various formats and file allocation tables, but to no avail. I also tried different micro SD cards (PNY, Lexar, Toshiba) in various capacities (from 8 to 64 Gigs), and still no go.
Apparently there are hundreds of reports online about this incompatibility with Xperia Z and Link2sd (specifically pertaining to the partition boot loop).
Could someone please point us in the right direction (so we can try and resolve this, once and for all)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time, guys!
Simple Fix that worked for me.

This may not work for your situation, but it worked for me. After I rebooted device I got stuck in a bootloop at the MetroPCS screen of my SGH-T599N I rebooted into restore mode and used Wipe Cache Partition option (not sure if this was relevant to the fix or not) then rebooted the phone. I waited for maybe 5 minutes this time, and after a minute a screeen popped up with a % bar and for the life of me I cannot remember it was Android something. After this screen finished phone rebooted like normal and all was well. I even rebooted once more to check, no problems at all. Hope this helps.
Someone solved this???
HI,
same problem for me with my Xperia sp, sd card partitioned, as soon as i launch link2sd it asks to reboot the phone in order to apply the changes and the phone stucks on rebooting loop.
Anyone found a solution??
Donot let link2sd make a script partition...as i was on 4.4.4 i was able to mount my ext2 partition manually and move apps easily...i did not try on Lollipop yet
My problem is almost similar to this , except the cause, and the seriousness
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325101.
Could anyone report the rom problem to the official(i do not know how to access to them) and could the official give a solution? :crying:
If anyone could help me solve the problem, please tell the method step by step , i am not good at computer. If solving the problem need any files please post the downloading threads.Thanks.
I think the reason why I could not install the cm10.2 again maybe caused by load the internal memory too much. I saw someone said to install the cm would not format the data in the internal memory. When the memory is almost full , it won't install apps . Maybe it can not rewrite the rom. If so , how can i delete my personal data .?Now i can not boot the tablet , and even can not connect it to a PC. I am at a loss and very worried. I am out of USA , and it is almost impossible for me to return it to B&N to have it repaired. Could anyone here give some advice to repair it .
I asked verygreen , and he gave me an answer
There appears to be a bug in internal storage software used in Nook HDs that leads to internal storage dying under certain conditions, though the conditions are not exactly clear, but it also seems to do with a new feature added in Android 4.3
I disabled this feature on 8/15, though it's not yet clear if 8/15 nightly was built with that added or not.
The bug is not unique to Nooks too, Some Galaxy Note devices that use a very similar samsung-branded internal storage also have this problem.
But not gave the solution , could anyone solve this problem and give the solution step by step to me, thanks. i am just at a loss here
I'm having a similar issue except I can get the nook logo on screen and sometimes the Cyanoboot Universal Bootloader screen. Both freeze at that point though.

I'm using cm-10.2-20130815-NIGHTLY-ovation and gapps-jb-20130813-signed. Same problem as above. boots to Nook loading screen and that's it. I left the device connected to my PC copying files and came back to a dead device. Charged it and now it's not booting at all.

Now I can nearly confirm there is a fatal bug in the 8/15 rom , so many are affected by it .I recommand others not to update to the cm10.2 before the problem is solved and the official should offshelve it from the website and give a solution as quickly as possible.

Booting to Nook loading screen (with no sdcard in) is different symptoms from the total emmc brick, because when emmc is bricked, so no loading scring could be possible.
In any case, the important part is, if somebody has a total bricked device and would like to donate it to me for further research on unbricking (and I will return it if succeeded), shoot me a PM.
Or if you have a brick and feel technically advanced enough to be able to run various custom kernels, CWMs, have adb working and know how to use it and are familiar with linux and willing to try to help, also PM me.

The info is likely not recoverable without some significant effort anyway, but I certainly can understand this decision too.
Count me too in the list of bricked HD+s. I was on CM10.2 0815.
It started with a reboot, but the boot process got rebooted again. Now it would just hang on Cyanoboot screen. I have tried SD Recovery but it showed that sd card or EMMC cannot be mounted. Now it will not even boot to recovery from SD card. I have tried the bootloader which gives you an option to choose SD recovery or boot normally and the boot loader loads but it cannot boot to either EMMC or SD recovery.
Worse part is that it hangs on the Cyanoboot screen. Not sure even Nook will honor the warranty.
Edit: BTW I never installed fstrim or anything like that. It probably was the 0813 version that initiated it but I wonder why it failed in 0815 when trim has been removed?

if it boots into CM logo with no sdcard in, then your emmc is at least answering, chances are you can just flash stock zip from leapinlair's stock hints thread from my noemmc sdcard cwm (or his from his thread)
Also failing that if you are just interested in warranty service, boot from my noemmc cwm, adb shell in and execute this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p2
this will make the cyanogen logo display go away and you'll just have black screen on boot.

Thank you verygreen, you are very kind to respond to each and everyone.
I have tried a number of different sdcard recoveries including cwm-early7.1 and leapinlair's as well, but the tablet never finishes booting even the recovery. If it is just SD card recovery, it will keep showing the cyanoboot screen. I modified the recovery (from Leapinlair's provided file) that gives you an option to boot into SD card recovery or into Stock rom (which does not exist for me but just an option). I get the option screen but selecting the SD card recovery just freezes the tablet.
I was planning to
1) write the recovery to sdcard,
2) increase the size of the recovery partition using EASUS partition manager,
3) putting emmc recovery, stock or CM rom, and gapps in the expanded partition
4) booting into it and installing all of these
but I never get into booting into recovery with or without expanded sd recovery. I also tried every sdcard recovery out there. No success.

try recovery from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44790925&postcount=67
note it reverts sdcard and emmc, so now sdcard is mmc0 and emmc is mmc1 (does not matter for stock as it installs using named aliases anyway, but matters if you plan to do any commands by hand in terminal).
This recovery certainly works even when emmc is totally dead so should work for you too.

Hi Verygreen, what's your suggestion on contacting b&n? since it's still under warranty and I can't even turn it on so should I send it in for repair or replace?

it does not really matter. "repair" is a codeword for "replace" these days, it's just they get your unit in and then send you one of their pile of repaired units, then see if they can fix yours and if they can, they add it to the refurbished pile to send to whoever send their stuff in next, or to sell through some side channel.
And of course I do recommend you to go the repair/replace route (unless you want to donate a broken unit to me for further research, of course ). Who knows, you might even win the emmc lottery and get emmc that is not buggy too.

I have noticed something else. When I connect the nook to pc without a sdcard, I can see a Blaze_Tablet while if i (try to boot) from sdcard, it shows a B&N Nook HD+ with a question mark. Does it tell you anything.
When it shows that a nook has been connected, I tried installing the drivers from LeapinLair page but windows says that no compatible drivers found. I think I have to get to install those drivers before I could connect using ADB.
When and if I boot to sdcard recovery, what should be I doing next to fix the tablet?

see if you can mount /cache:
in adb shell:
mount /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/cache /cache
if that does not work, try reformatting it:
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/cache
see if that succeeds.
then try rebooting again without sdcard and see if that helped.
Hello guys, I updated my smartphone moto G second generation for Cm 13. So, I put the Sd card and sistem asked me if I went use how memory internal , but after the finish, the Sd card stayed blocked, and I can´t open on the PC, only in cellphone. Help me!
Try formatting your SD Card using MiniTools on PC.
Yeah, Android 6 does that. "Security reasons". The only ROM that allows you to use the SD card as you did on Lollipop is Temasek's.
It is not maintained for LTEs, though, so you'll need to do some tweaks to install it. But it's worth it.

Did you tried the MiniTools app on PC?
If you have LTE you should go for Titan recovery IMG, don't bother with CM or As the other guy said something about Temasek??? Far too complicated and seemingly non active so again don't bother. When selecting a Titan recovery .img you will have to go through a process of elimination, unfortunately. The devs of that custom IMG may or may not have got some of the uploaded images confused?? I say this because I had to flash my Moto G XT1072 2nd gen about 4 -6 times before I found an image that installed and booted correctly? Good luck. Let me know if you have the same model as me as I could save you a whole lot of trouble and just give you a link to an image or images that are guaranteed to install correctly if you have the same model as me? Cheers
Hi guys,
i came up with a temporary to unbrick LG G4 H811 , you just need a 32 GB SD card ( i used Sandisk 10 class) , the dump that i will link , and Win32 disk Imager, the SD card must low level formatted.
1- download this dump
http://www.mediafire.com/download/nkaarfueu161run/H811-10N-fulldump.zip
2- put the SD card in the PC and chose the dump file and write ( run as admin ):
3- put the sd card in the phone plug the battery and power on.
now you will be able to enter Download mode, the problem is that when you flash a firmware, it goes to the SD card rather than the EMMC memory. the Dump is included with TWRP recovery and an unlocked Bootloader, so if someone happens to know how to access or mount the EMMC memory that would be awesome
Guys this solution is for H811 bricked by Firmware downgrade, not for deffective devices (serial 505) which Bricked on there own
EDIT : if you can enter TWRP recovey , check if your EMMC memory is alive by typing in terminal : cat /proc/partitions
if you see both mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 , congratulations !! your EMMC is alive , if not , you can use the SD card as your primary storage and flash either a custum ROM or KDZ

Thanks for your efforts but this did not work for me. Maybe someone else will have better luck??
hard bricked my g4
I saw this post and jumped at the opportunity to try something different than what ive been trying. I will post back with results on whether or not this process was successful. I hope someone finds a permanent solution to this issue. All of my rom flashing experience comes from the HTC M7 (Sprint) which I found out extremely fast is a lot more forgiving. I flashed a rom to my G4 and as soon as I rebooted my phone wouldnt power on or show any signs of life although in device manager it shows the phone as a "port" then qualcomm 9008,,,,, Anyway, fingers crossed!:good:

Unfortunately I dont think this worked for me either. Unless there is something Im doing wrong.
Using a Sandisk Ultra 32GB SD Card with a Sandisk reader to put into the computer, WinDisk32 and the image provided phone shows signs of life! My battery is dead but it is charging. It is now boot looping to Secure Booting Error - Error Code: 1006. I will get a real charge on the battery now and then play around. Thanks for this!
Unfortunately it will not stay on the Download Mode long enough to do anything. But at least there is life.
This got me on the right path and I did fix it like this. I downloaded the H811 V20o dump from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unbrick-lg-g4-h815-9008-qualcomm-t3452853) Link to file here Link .
After I did this I booted up to download mode but would not get a USB connection (go figure) so I booted to TWRP and flashed the Bootloader for H811 20i and the Boot from Here.
After I rebooted this allowed me to boot in Download mode with a USB connection. Once I saw that I removed my MicroSD flashed the 20o KDZ and I was back up and running!
Hopefully this helps anyone stuck!

After I rebooted this allowed me to boot in Download mode with a USB connection. Once I saw that I removed my MicroSD flashed the 20o KDZ and I was back up and running!
Hopefully this helps anyone stuck!

After I got back into Download mode and the PC recognized I pulled the SDcard out and used LG UP to flash the 20o KDZ.

How did you get into recovery mode to flash the .bin you mentioned? I just keep getting the Secure Boot 1006 error and boot loops on Download mode.

If you can boot off the SD card, plugging in the USB while the phone is off and holding VOL UP will get you into Download mode. If you need to get to recovery hold VOL DOWN + PWR until the LG Screen shows then briefly let go of PWR and hold it again. This will give you the normal recovery options, select yes 2 times to boot into TWRP.

Awesome, so I saw the recovery but after I select yes two times it just black screened. I restarted the phone by pulling the battery and tried imaging twrp to the drive. Did it again and it just restarted to that 1006 error after selecting yes twice.
Now, I have flashed everything that did work and nothing comes up kind of baffled at what happened might be my SDCard is doing something wonky so will have to check another card when I have time to go buy one.

Just to clarify. When the imager was done writing to the disk. Did you have an actual image or a folder with files that said image?
Update:
And as I type this I just flashed the singleimage.bin again and I am able to get into the Factory Reset page.
-----Old Post-----
Shows up as like an 86MB partition with 11.9MB free space.
Inside there is an "image" folder with around 178 files in it. This happens when I image either the singleimage.bin, the H811-10N-fulldump.img, or Dump_H811_1GB.img.
The H811-10N image used to work, as did the systemimage.bin. But now nothing I am flashing to the MicroSD is pulling up the phone.

Thanks for the quick response:good: How did you flash the single img bin? Was your phone on when you did that?
Ok so I did the following using the singleimage.bin file:
- Win32DiskImager > 32GB MicroSDCard.
- Eject the SDCard from Windows.
- Battery is out of the phone.
- Put the SDCard into phone.
- Put Battery into Phone.
- Plug Phone into Computer (not sure if this is necessary)
- Boot loop with Secure Boot 1006 error.
- Hold the Vol Down + Pwr until LG. Let off Pwr while still holding VolDown then press and hold Pwr till Factory Reset is up.
- Press Yes twice
- After this I see the Secure Error 1006 message faintly come up.
- Reboots to BootLoop, no TWRP.
It feels like I am missing something here. If anyone can correct me I would appreciate it.

Please use the 10N dump that i provided , clean your SD card using SD Formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
and flash it with the 10N dump ( it has unlocked Bootloader )
