Soft bricked my tattoo. SOLVED - Click General

Well I did it again but this time I don't know how to fix it. I wanted to rewrite the boot.img but by mistacke wrote the wrong one. And did reboot. Now it shows me the tattoo boot screen and fastboot written at the top in red. I have a gold card but it seems to not work anymore. When I want to flash it gives me cid error. So any ideas?

I don't know if it is possible, but..can't you lunch custom recovery and install RUU ROM through update.zip or flash boot image again from recovery?

If you're getting a CID error, you need to create a goldcard, so that you can flash any RUU to your unit.
_If_ you can boot into recovery, this shouldn't be difficult. If you can't boot into recovery, I guess you'll need a SD Card reader.
One question: did you do a backup, from recovery, with my scripts ? It could help here.
Check the sticky thread to create the goldcard.
G'luck

I can boot into recovery mode, hboot and fast boot. I have a woorking boot.img just how to get it back on the phone. How can i get shell once im in recovery?
This is all that I get in recovery mode:
"reboot system now [Home+Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip [Alt+S]
wipe data/factory reset [Alt+W]"
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"

I got adb to work with recovery mode but now when I try to get shell I get this error exec '/system/bin/sh' failed and remount sais operation not permited.

Hmm.. are you sure you flashed a custom recovery image ?

No I have the factory recovery image just custom boot image.

You're out of luck then, no shell in recovery for you :S

all isn´t lost! restart the tattoo in fastboot and try to install the official rom, you get a error but a little time you can comunicate to tattoo with adb commands. at this time you try to get cid with
Code:
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
.do a goldcard and try to install official rom again
PD sorry for my english

When is the time I can comunicate with the tattoo. During the the main fazes of update or when I get the cid error?

While the ruu....exe gives you 131 error

Well problem solved but not quite how I expect it to be. I conected the phone in fast bootand once the update preocess started I was copy pasting the comand adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid like crazy to catch the perfect timing. But there was no more cid error. It worked. Just got flashed without a gold card.
PS. Thanks everyone for the help. I finished flashing. It's alive .... Chears.

Try what chusen sugested. Get your phone in fastboot ( power + volume down) then start the normal RUU aplication. Have cmd opened and ready with the adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid and wait for when the installer gives u 131 error and execute.

You can get the cid from your card if you have another Tattoo/Magic/Hero/Dream, ask around if your friends have any phones like them.

You did not bricked Tattoo - change your topic-name immediately!
You have only troubles with goldcard and flashing process.
Don't confuse other people...

Very much true
Gold card is solution!

No device found ONLY during fastboot - help needed please

I've been reading up about what to do after I tried to "factory reset" my phone and then was stuck at the htc start up soon, which kept looping.
I've been trying to load recovery.img during fastboot (back+power) and then to apply update.zip during recovery (home+power).
However, the problem is that during fastboot, the device isn't recognized (when I go to adb devices on command prompt, no device is listed). I know that my drivers are good bc the device is found when I start up in the recovery mode. I tried to skip the part where I load recovery.img (since when I try to do that, it tells me that it can't be loaded), and to go straight to apply update.zip, but then the phone tells me that update.zip is either bad or can't be mounted.
I have a Rogers Magic (32A). I am a complete newbie, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I should also say that before I tried to do the factor reset, the phone was on the hero rom loaded by a previous user.
try this:
boot in recovery:
fastboot boot recovery.img
then, push update.zip on your sd card ( need a good rom in the tools folder on your computer)
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
and apply update.zip with the recovery menu.
thanks for your reply, but it didn't work:
first, it said "cannot load recovery.img"
and then when I tried to mount, it said "mount: mounting dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: Device or resource busy"
replace recovery to correct path to your recovery image. (your phone mut be in fastboot mode power with back button pressed)
ex:
fastboot boot c:\sdk\tools\recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img
then your phone must boot on recovery and you could push update.zip
thanks so much. I figued it out - just a simple problem of the update.zip file being corrupt.

Hi. My magic is having the same issues. Although I believe it is my own doing. I was going to create a gold card and I flashed the sappimg.zip, I can boot the phone into fastboot but it us not seen, when I run the fast boot command it just says waiting on device..
I can boot the phone up normally but it does not want to connect to the market our link my gmail account to it..
All to jailbreak... Any ideas?
Edit....
I must have had a poor internet connection last night. I have got the market working.

I am having the same problem.
I have a 32b on vodafone uk.
all the device adb drivers have installed fine. I have tried this on both my laptop and desktop (win 7) and when the phone is turned on - it shows fine under adb devices.
When i boot to fastboot, the phone doesnt show, and therefore i cannot load a custom rom.
Trying to root the phone I have so far used the goldcard method to downgrade to get back to 1.5, if i try to flash the recovery img from the phone (using flash rec) then when i boot to recovery (home+power) it hangs on the vodafone screen - this is why i wont to flash from fastboot.
any ideas?
Thanks
phone rooted?
FlashRec is out of date, I'm pretty sure. Is your phone rooted already, or are you at stock?

[Solved] NEED HELP! Bricked? No SDcard in Recovery - no Restore - no adb

Hi all!
I have a big problem...
My Hero wan't boot so I go in the Recovery Console.
But if i want to restore a Backup this message appears:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:
I tried several SDCARDs... same message.
I've wiped all several times. Reformat the SDCARD...
Access via ADB brings:
error: device not found
Fastboot mode is possible... but
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
in the konsole brings: "downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)"...
What can i do?
This might help?.....

then go to .....

Thanks for the links...
I could re-flash the T-Mobile ROM (2.73.111.26)... The Hero starts and now it works with Android 1.5 ...
I have access to the SDCARD ... but the USB Connectivity doesn't work...
No ADB and no storage Device in Windows...
"fastboot oem eraseconfig" doesn't work... think about the false HBOOT (HBOOT-1.76.0007)...
flashrec also doesn't work... there comes "Flash FAILED: could not run command"
Any ideas?
Had exactly the same.
Forget about the rom, it doesn't matter (i.e. flash whatever you like).
You already got your SD card support back, for the rest you need to update the SPL (search for an unlocked version for your hero, double-check because it can _really_ brick your device if this fails). After that fastboot oem eraseconfig works and your usb is back to normal.
Did that yesterday, worked like a charm and actually makes sense (unlike other suggestions like "reflash N times", "unplug and replug usb or change the cable" and "send in for service"). Your USB is fine (as seen in fastboot), it's just not working after your kernel booted -> Due to messed up configuration parameters in the flash area. Basically the kernel commandline, if you will..
Wich version of SPL I do you flash?
How do you flash it? Like...
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip SPL_image.zip
in the fastboot konsole?
RecoveryConsole is not useable to me... My Hero is not rooted anymore... And it seems to be very difficult to get root again :-/
What do you mean by?

According to BTDAGs guide, flashing 2.73.61.5 should enable you to use flashrec to do the custom recovery again.
[solved] NEED HELP! Bricked? No SDcard in Recovery - no Restore - no adb
Thanks for your help. I have solved the problems...
- first I flashed the T-Mobile D ROM like described in the Link (extract rom.zip and flash)
http://android.modaco.com/content-page/299174/no-adb-no-sd/page/80/
- then I have detected, that flashrec does'nt work on the ROM
- then I created a GOLD Card
- with this I flashed in the OEM fastboot Mode (described here) the HTC Update ROM (_HTC_Hero_RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe)
- then flashrec was working and I was able to flash a Recovery Image
- in the Recovery Console I flashed the unlocked Modaco SPL (from here)
- now it was possible to erase the config, which locked the USB after Kernel Boot (fastboot oem eraseconfig)
- after that I restored the last Nandroid Backup...
- Now I'm happy

[Tutorial] Restoring Recovery Mode while working only Fastboot Mode*ALL METHODS HERE*

Hello!
Yesterday I found myself in a very terrible situation. I spend about 6-7 hours...
It just happened that I deleted the recovery (through fastboot), and before that deleted firmware of the phone. That is, there remained only mode HBOOT (fastboot). Around the internet and google there are no guides on how to return
recovery by the alternative methods or how to flash a new ROM through
fastboot.
Thats why i want to present to you my little guide... Coz i think it will be very useful for some ppls like me with the same trouble.
So, if you're in a situation where you do not have Recovery, and the phone is not started in boot ROM then first try a standard way to flash a new Recovery through fastboot mode
Standart way of flashing new recovery via fastboot​
1.Connect your phone with PC via USB and power off your phone (if it up).
2.Than start up in fastboot mode - (in my situation, fastboot mode is CAMERA+POWER, then button "send") in all other (as i know) this is starting the phone while pressing button BACK.
3.Open -> Start->Run->cmd (open command prompt in windows*) and write:
Code:
fastboot devices
Than you must see your device serial number like this:
Code:
H94XTGAMSHDY
and should say "fastboot".
If all right - go next. If not - check fastboot mode (is on?) and USB cable.
4.Than change directory via cmd to where you have saved your recovery image (NEW recovery.img !!! ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUM)
5. Than type this :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [enter]
(while you are stay in the same dir where you saved recovery.img)
(if you got some error about previously version or smth like this you can try to use this: fastboot erase recovery and only than try to flash new recovery from step №5)
6.Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device. And check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.
7.Reboot into recovery by holding Home and Power (before it power off device).
Thats all! You can use any recovery, all what you like. I use Amon_RA's recovery.
IF WHILE FLASHING YOU GOT :
Code:
sending 'recovery' <4594kb>... OKAY [ 1.734s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED <remote: signature verigy fail>
finished. total time: 3.125
Use next steps (my Alternative method)
And IF you can't flash recovery by this method it is not big trouble as you think now
Alternative way of BOOTING new recovery via fastboot​ checked and founded by me
Everything here is much easier and faster!
Do not be scared as I did it yesterday
Only what you need it :
Change directory via cmd to where you have saved your recovery image (NEW recovery.img !!! ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUM)
And than TYPE:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
And your phone will be rebooted about 2 seconds in RECOVERY MODE. Yes!
After this you can use your old Nand Back up (restore it) and start up your old ROM. Or you can wipe all and try to flash new ROM and many operations what you can use via recovery. When you will get working ROM and flash it - you can flash recovery via adb. Or Use Rom Manager (Not recommended!)
Why we use this method? Because if you got error while flashing - FAILED <remote: signature verigy fail> you CAN'T FLASH ANY .img. Why? I Don't know, i hope some android guru's help us with it theory
(ALL AFTER THIS LINE ALL TEXT COPYED FROM WIKI.CYANOGEN.COM CREDITS GOES TO Cyanogen. Thx you, god)
If you want to flash recovery via adb (using power on phone with working firmware) (This method working 100% but strongly need working phone with working ROM)
Working only with HTC DREAM (G1) - Attention.
adb method by cyanogen version
Restoring the custom recovery image
Download the flash_image tool (HERE LINK
Next, place the file on your desktop
Change the directory to where "flash_image" is located, e.g. in Windows: cd C:\<path-to-flash_image-location>, in Linux: cd /home/USERNAME/path/to/flash_image on a Mac: cd /Users/USERNAME/path/to/flash_image)
IMPORTANT: Turn on USB debugging. Settings -> Applications -> Development -> check the box "USB Debugging"
Open up and adb shell
With your phone booted, type the following command
s:
Code:
adb root
This will start ADB as root, or notify if it is already running as root.
Code:
adb remount
This will mount the system partition (/system) as writable, allowing the following
Code:
adb push flash_image /system/bin
This will send the flash_image script into the /system/bin, so we can use it from within the shell
Code:
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
Finally, change the permissions of the script to allow it to perform the desired action.
Now that the script is installed, we are ready to proceed with flashing the custom recovery, saved on the root of the SD card earlier:
Code:
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
P.S. If you want i can post here method by flashing original 1.6 ADP Rom via fastboot (but as i think it is on htc dev web... But i can post here cut version of this - coz original version have many not needed things.)

hey ANtiHazarD i have a desire so im not sure if this is suppose to work but all 3 methods fail for me, any advice, thanks in advance
Nice steps! man hope this gets a good stick or added to the rom bible, you do know though fastboot method is a common way to flash recovery

That's what I was thinking... Seems almost pointless for a guide since there's instructions how to fastboot on every recovery thread.
Either way, nicely written guide. Someone will probably find this useful.

With a desire this is quite different, as it has an activated nand flash protection (s-on), so no fastboot flash recovery here. Although this should prevent you from not having a recovery at all...
* note: I don't have a desire (yet) so this is speculation *
Best is probably something similar to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852
I guess if you get the correct PB99IMG.zip for exactly your device/brand you will not need a goldcard, so don't follow the howto blindly (it is for the newer SLCD versions, but the basics will still be applicable to AMOLED devices). Best would be a PB99IMG.zip that still has a hboot version < 0.92, otherwise you will need to downgrade to root. If you already have 0.92, then just take the newest image, as older ones are normally not flashable.
After step 7 of the howto, you are either done, or you will need to find instructions to downgrade if you want to root.
As soon as you have a working system, with a 0.8* hboot you can just use unrevoked to root and flash a custom recovery.
Enough OT... @ANtiHazarD: Very useful overview. Thanks.
WAY WAY WAY more complicated than it should be...
It is a simple matter of:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Did you read everything before you flashed the 1.33.0013d SPL?
If yes, you would have noticed, that this SPL is not able to flash a recovery or radio using fastboot. You have to flash the orange-...nbh file to get back a full engineering SPL, but you will loose everything you have installed on the phone ...

i don't know about this spl, but all what you can do (what i know) you can use this method which named in prev. post. with RC29 or RC7 stock firmware *.nbh
after flashing all data, radio, recovery will be reflashed by a stock data. All must be fine after this... i hope

Don't use RC29.. its once of the most annoying NBH files to need to re-root for the dream.
If you have 1.33.0013d note the orange.nbh posted on the new radio OP post: here

If you find yourself stuck without recovery!!
Dream
1) Download: orange-1.58.73.2.nbh (MD5: aca4dee0c1ece7e9773f2ecbdfbba7c0) (mirror)
2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh'
3) wait for the entire nbh to flash
4) boot into the bootloader again (it will be an engineering SPL 1.42.2000)
5) You can now re-flash the radio/hboot/recovery via fastboot that you wish to have installed.

basically if you intend to still use the new radio; after installing 1.58.73.2 you can reboot-bootloader; and use my fastboot installation steps at the top of that post
You can do this without a goldcard because I bypass various checks in 1.33.0013d
(It will let you install any other signed NBH but that will still wipe the phone completely; and if it fails to flash cleanly it will leave you without an engineering SPL thus make it harder to make android go again)
hey i tried to flash the MTD too and now i keep getting "E:cant open CACHE:recovery/log" when i go into recovery .

Stuck at boot screen

Hi.
It all happend when i wanted to replace the libwebcore.so file in the /system/lib.
So i did it. but its properly the wrong libwebore.
so i restarted the phone, but now, its stuck at the tattoo screen.
I can connect it to the computer. adb can see it. but i cant su neither mount which requires su.
It's the custom rom. i have no recovery image installed.
i CAN access fastboot AND recovery mode
I tried flashing a rom via HBoot by renaming the rom to CLICIMG.zip. but it doesnt work. phone says no image or wrong format.
Any suggestions?
Well, this really sucks
Now i cant even access adb. I pressed home+back key to reset the phone.
now its just stuck on the tattoo screen like just before but adb devices dont see anything.
Pleassee someone? i really need help on this one!
Hboot doesnt seem to help much. it cant detect anything. i had 3 files on the sdcard (all is amon_ra), just named differently: CLICDIAG.zip, CLICIMG.zip and CLICIMG.nbh
but it doesnt do anything :'(
Do you have a backup?
Have you tried to install recovery img via adb? If you can do this you can just do a backup of your current rom, try somehow to get your sd-card seen by the computer and copy the files of your old backup files to your new backup, asked to replace select yes.( I used a different phone to copy my backup files to the sd card when I couldn't get past startup screen.)
Good luck.

Where you found these files?
To flash the rom from hboot you need the rom.zip file of your stock rom(renamed as CLICIMG.zip)
I have the same problem! stuck on "Tattoo" screen and boot again and again.
I have the goldcard with CLICIMG.zip and it loads on HBOOT and install all (boot,radio,recovery,etc.. ) but when it ends, returns to the same....
HELP PLEASEEE!!!
Do you have Amon_Ra or Clockworkmod recovery installed? If so you can try wiping the Dalvik cache and try rebooting. Most boot loops I had were resolved this way. Wiping data and cache totally might also help.
If you can access adb and device is rooted, you should be able to use "adb shell" command and have a rooted terminal with the "#" sign after running su. In that case you can also manually wipe Dalvik cache by deleting everything under /data/dalvik-cache/
$su
#cd /data/dalvik-cache
#rm *
#exit
$exit

Hey guys i have this old HTC Tattoo i would like to use for a while i need to test things on.
HTC Tattoo (Orange)
S-on
1.6.61.43 custom firmware
rooted
But i have a problem, i need to get a custom ROM on it.
so far:
1. Would not accept sim unlock code
1. Rooted it once
2. used RUU_Click_Orange_UK_1.67.61.43_release_signed_NoDriver becouse it was needed to accept the simunlock code
3. Lost root, rooted it again with Universal root becouse old method didn't work anymore.

answer
1. That triangle is stock recovery which isn't useful for installing custom roms.
2. You need custom recovery.
3. You need adb.
4 You can install recovery like this one click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950759 or manualy using cmd(adb needed).
If installing manualy: You need flash_image and recovery.img .
For cmd, commands are:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
Hope this was helpful for you
Sorry if you waited too much, I didn't have time to answer you.

I followed the instructions it didn't help, still same problem
no errors with the .exe, but no dice either
flashpermission denied with manual cmd
not enough memory on the device
in rom manager it says i have clockworkmod 5.0.2.0, might be the the problem that my phone is on orange or that it is S-on ? becouse i'm pretty sure it has custom recovery and it is rooted
i was able to root with this method before i used "RUU_Click_Orange_UK_1.67.61.43_release_signed_NoDriver" update
Now i am not able to use that root method, maybe it would have worked before i used it...
How do i downgrade or whatever from this RUU ?
Adb
Do you have adb drivers installed?
