my phone wont boot anymore

Hi,
i used this guide to unroot my g1
everything went fine. untill i got to this step:
4. Start phone in bootloader. [Hold camera+power button]
at the grey screen, it said "not allow" and went back to the screen with the 3 colors. now nothing happens.
boot with home+power doesnt work anymore, same with normal power on (it only displays the Tcom splash screen.
is there anything i can do?

Can you still get into bootloader (camera+power)?

yes,
i've got on my sd card the DREAIMG-RC29 (extractet of course)
but it wont load. i've got some other folders and stuff on the sd card, could this be the problem? i've got no adapter for my PC, so i can't format the sd card.
thx for trying to help me

When you say extracted, what excatly do you mean. You should have the DREAIMG.nbh file in the root of your sdcard (so not inside any folders). Is that the way you have it?

exactly, it is in the root directory

Reformat the SD card for FAT32, re-extract that file back to the root directory of the SD and try again. If the same problem exist, re-download the file from here (T-Mobile G1 ONLY!)

ok, i dont really know how, but i was able to access home+power again.
like jamesrdorn said, i reformated the SD card and extractet the DREAIMG to the root directory. I switched it on with camera+power -> still the same error. just for fun i rebooted with phone+menu+power and pressed home during the restart and - tada - it booted into the recovery menu. A friend of mine then told me i should install this mod and it worked.
thanks all of you for your help

[Q] accidentally formatted Nook Touch -- stuck on Rooted Forever screen

I hope I'm posting in the correct place.
I think I've bricked my Nook Touch (tell me it isn't so!). The problem is as stated in the subject line. Now it won't turn off or respond at all to hardware or touch. Is there at least a way to get the screen back to "Read Forever"?
Please help, and let me know if you need more information!
I'll be so grateful if this problem can be at least partially solved.

try to remove sd-card and reboot it

I tried that; the Nook Touch will not reboot. Thanks for replying.
Would the zip file Nook Simple Touch Full_Factory_Restore.zip work for me in this scenario? If so, where can I get the file?

Its almost impossible to brick this device. Try this first.
Hold power firmly for 30 seconds.
let it go
Wait 10 seconds
Hold power again for about 10 or so seconds the screen should change and you should reboot.
Try this with the SD card in and out. You can also try and repeat the step of writing the .img to your SD card. Download the file again or verify the checksum in case you got a bad download.
The screens will not necessarily change if you are stuck in a boot loop and power down. Regardless if it doesn't boot 8 times it will revert its pretty much impossible to brick the unit. You can also try to power off via ADB and or try the script that forces the 8 failed reboots.
____________________
Edit I missed that it appears you intentionally formatted the device? What exactly did you do?
Also if you made a back up of the partition prior to formatting (not sure exactly what you did or why you did it) but that should have been your first step prior to doing anything exotic so you can replace the files necessary. I'm not at home otherwise I'd post the partition contents for your restore I'm sure you can find them on the net somewhere or here. I think the nook color root wiki may have the Nook touch back up files I'm not sure though. Either way its trivial to pull them and post them. Those of you that may do this make sure your account information is wiped first prior to making the back up for him.

Exactly which partition you formatted? The one normally exposed during USB connection? In this case power it off (by holding the power button for few seconds and selecting power off) and then do a hard reset
Hold power button and the bottom two side buttons until the screen starts to flicker. Release power button but hold the side bottom buttons until you see a hard reset screen
After reset the data partition will be as good as new.

Rooted Foreve screen - the brick
Hello everyone. I'm from Russia. And I have the same problem: Rooted Forever on the screen (I have formatted sd card by Mini Tool Partitition Wizard - Delete all partititions) when the SD card was into Nook and my Nook is the brick. And i can't send my Nook to B&N. None of your advices did not work. But I still have some hope. Maybe my experience will be usefull for you.
I have pushed 2 bottom buttons & power button for 30 seconds. Then 10 seconds pause. Then I have pushed 2buttons+pwr for 30 seconds again. And Nook has turned off. But the screen was completely dark. Then I turned it on and saw Rooted Forever. After that I repeated 3 buttons holding and turned the nook off. Right now my screen is completely white.
And one other thing. I also have tried nookrestorer program . I've mount an image on SD. Put it into nook. Turned it on. Script on the screen: wait for 10 sec, turn off yor nook. Take out SD. But it does not work.

I managed to lock my Nook up on boot right after I rooted it, but got it to unlock and revert to factory settings. Mine was frozen on the "Read Forever" screen and would only flash when I turned it off (something I've not read anywhere else) but this may help some of you... Don't try to do a factory reset and immediately root it again, because you may have to update the Nook again first!
First, remove the SD card, then power it off (hold the power button for 20 seconds until the screen flashed) then, letting go of the power button and immediately pressing and holding the power button again and the two bottom side buttons (I think for 10 seconds?)
The Nook would still sit on the "Read Forever" screen a minute or so, then started doing a factory reset, wiped everything including the data section and the updated software.
I had to re-update the Nook to 1.1 and then could re-root it.
---
Edit:
I realized after I posted this that I lied. Sorry. That didn't work for me, but I discovered that I could still access ADB over USB with my Nook while it was frozen on the loading screen... so I did this from my PC:
adb shell
echo -n -e "\x08\x00\x00\x00" > /rom/devconf/BootCnt
reboot

Note that you do have to have the ADB installed, but I think that's key to a lot of the root methods...

Bricking the NST is quite easy, just boot with Noogie and write some garbage onto the flash.
Lots of people do this by trying to write incomplete backups back to their NST.
If what you write is big enough to reach the /rom partition you're basically hosed.

This is a very bad advice, the /rom and /factory partition contains data unique to every NST such as MAC address, serial, board serial, EAN, private and public keys, etc..
Using a backup from another NST can and will cause troubles for you and the person owning the NST the backup came from.

My NST was bricked as well, after a Salsicha-image write session failed. Permanently stuck in the "Rooted forever" screen no matter what I pressed. Prior to the write, I have deleted ALL the partitions on my NST and then it wouldn't boot, so it seemed gone forever.
Yet it turned out that my NST can still boot with the Nookie image on a microSD
( from the BACKUP/RESTORE N2E Win7 thread). Connect it via USB to the PC and managed to restore it using my backup image. Eventually I did did the Salsicha root successfully. My NST is now rooted with 1.1.
I don't have specific advices, but the NST does seemed hard to be properly bricked. Given my experiences, I actually wonder if the NST hardware could bootstrap itself entirely from the microSD, irrespective of the state of its internal flash.

Just solved this thing: formatted microSD with Noogie Image, then deleted all partitions and than flashed my backup image back and Nook is working fine now!

Bricked Nook
I've also formatted my Nook when I was thinking that I was formatting the sdc. I've tried installing the nookRestore img and nT2-Recovery but both of these get to the screen where it says to wait but then the Nook won't reboot. My Nook can no longer be seen by my computer so isn't showing up in device manager. I've also tried the various boot tricks manually. I also lost my backup of my Nook when I had to reinstall Windows a week ago. If anyone could help that would be great!
Thanks.
Edit---
I've found my backup image but it says Install Failed: Please power off and back on. I do this but it says the same thing. It shows up for a few seconds in device manager right after I power it on but the device id is wrong, USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_B&N&PROD_EBOOK_DISK&REV_0100\11223344556677&0. And then it disconnects in a few seconds.

If you formatted your NST, Factory Restore (and thus n2T-Recovery) will not work as you removed the partition containing the actual Restore image (partition 3)

What size is your backup image?
The unknown device you see for a split second at boot can be ignored, this is normal behavior.

It's 77.5 megabytes, I made it with Roadkill but I'm not sure if I did it right. I got it best the install fail screen. I'm not absolutely sure that I formatted the Nook but since none of the recovery methods or other images work that's the only thing I can think of. Also its no longer communicating with my computer properly.
Thank you for your reply.

I remember that there was a file(image) that works on the same principle as Noogie, but it will start the factory reset instead. Have you tried that ??? Unfortunately I don't know whether it uses/refers to the "formated" factory partition or it makes it's own. I think yo might find it in one of the threads, about rooting the Nook.
P.S. : the size of your backup file is too small ... it has to be about 1.8G

Your backup is worthless, don't bother with it.
Also Factory Restore, n2T-Recovery etc won't help you.
Check your PM in a few mins.

Thanks for your reply, yea my backup is missing something, I thought I found a my good one but it doesn't seem to be. I found those other images but as ros87 said they don't work either.

Keep getting "Install failed" screen
Well, I seem to have bricked my NST as well.
I was trying to unroot from TouchNooter by restoring what I now know was a bad backup image (only 77MB). I am also certain that the NST was reformatted as well.
When there is no SD card in the NST it is stuck in the "Install Failed" screen. It can reboot but just goes back to the "Install Failed" screen.
I have located the original backup image of the NST when it was fresh out of the box and think it's a good one (1.92GB), but I am unable to restore it while the nookie image is mounted in the SD drive. I have also tried the two manual restore images (NST-Recovery) and although they ran succesully they did not fix the problem.
Is there anything else I can try to get my NST working again or is it bricked forever?
UPDATE: SUCCESS!
Just in case anyone else runs into this problem:
I was using roadkil's disk image program to restore the known good backup image and kept getting an error message: "Error #5 occured while writing to disk at sector 0". A google search of that error turned up a in a blog where I learned that roadkil doesn't play well with windows 7. What you have to do is run a program called lockdismount.exe version 0300 (google it), lock that physical drive, and leave that program running. THEN run disk imager and restore the backup image to the NST. When disk imager is done, exit that program, go back to lockdismount, unlock that drive, and then exit lockdismount.
Note: When disk imager was finished restoring it gave me an error, but I went ahead and booted up the NST anyways. My Simple Touch is back to it's factory-fresh state and all is well again
*Many* thanks to everyone who posts in this forum. Going through all the posts helped me troubleshoot and eventually unbrick my Nook SimpleTouch.

Life saver!!!! Thank you!!!

Hello, i am one of those unlucky/incompetent user who overwrite those partition. My experience is this: I can use (read, browse etc) other device's ROM (with different serial etc) on my NOOK, but if I want to deregister/or re-register my device at B&N, the process leads me to an ERROR message at the end.
I have no idea how to solve this problem. Maybe editing several files on Boot partition and Factory partition. Or maybe there is a way to erease these data from these file (resetting) I d not know. Or maybe there is an ORIGINAL rom without any device specific data, I don't know... and I am a bit hopeless.
Do You have any idea?
People at B&N do not understand the problem at all...
Thanks in advance for any help!

U8800 died !!

Hello, my u8800 just died..
i got a blue screen a couple of time and had to pull the battery.
now it is completely dead... ? how so?
it was running MIUI just fine and i just rebooted it and got a blue screen..

What happens if you press and hold Vol+,Vol- and Power?
Can you still get into Bootloader?
Bluescreen usually wipes the Bootloader, but you can fix that if you can still access it...
In case you lost all the data in Bootloader (pink screen), format the partition with FAT32, create a folder called "image" and copy the following files on there.
EMMCBOOT - http://www.mediafire.com/?lb6ifvgk72iru4a
AMSS.MBN - http://www.mediafire.com/?d6r45q6p5gew59v
Recovery.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?57njygc8oianjac
Boot.img - http://www.mediafire.com/?6d5i0714a7o9z97
If you can't access the Bootloader (pink screen), I'm afraid it's going back to warranty.

same thing happened to mine, still trying to fix it. managed to flash CWM recovery like that but now factory reseting leads me no where, of course, and restoring a backup from the sd didn't work either, all i get is a bootloop.
i'm so very lost please help, tell me what you need to know to help me

DON'T factory reset or restore a backup! Once you've had a blue screen, you CAN'T restore or factory reset a Rom.
You should flash a custom Rom directly. Just copy the Oxygen.zip (http://sourceforge.net/projects/u8800oxygen/files/) in the root folder of the SD card and then wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the new Rom by Selecting "install zip from SD" and select the Oxygen.zip archive, the installation process does everything else.

It was completely dead, but when i wake up this morning i got it on with bluescreen again, hooked it up with my pc and copied the files u linked.
now it seems MIUI is booting fine again!
but how come it got wiped in the first place?

Not sure to be honest...It's some sort of miscommunication between bootloader and Rom (kernel) and Huawei designed a fail-over mechanism that wipes the bootloader (screen becomes blue when this happens).
Anyway, glad to hear that you got it going again.

wow thanks katu2006 xD I just realised how stupid I was
you see this whole thing happened, I think, because I tried formatting a NTFS sd card I put in the phone. I wanted to put files bigger than 4GB in it...
so when I got the blue screen and then managed to boot into CWM recovery, all I had to do was flash a ROM, I knew that, but my internal sd card was wiped clean and I couldn't access it in my PC when I plugged the phone. then I just figured I should get another sd and put MIUI in it and then stick in the phone LOL it's working fine now, thanks a lot

Glad to hear that you problem was resolved as well.

I have the same problem with my U8800. And I follow your direction and I can log in to the Miui rom, but it has the notification "Blank SD card or unsupported file system" and ask me to format the SD card. But when I format the SD card, it change into the blue screen again in the next reboot time. What should I do.

OK, you should copy the SD Card contents to your computer, format it with FAT32, copy the folders back and then try to boot in Recovery and reinstall Miui again.

I also had such a problem. And as in your situation, my solution was to copy those files into 'image' folder. Though, blue-screen-trouble is still actual and we have to blame only huawei-guys
Is your IMEI allright? after some of theese operations, I had mine nulled.

I beg to differ - for me when I had a blue screen yesterday - tried everything other than reflash. In the end I pushed a clockworkmod backup to the internal sd card via adb, did a restore and problem solved.

Blue screen
I was stuck with a blue screen for days after i formated the internal mem, i got stuck until I came across your post . downloaded the files to image folder and here i am with a working phone, thanks a million.

[Q] "Your Nook encountered an error that need to restart

I bought a new NST because I wanted to root it and use it as a summertime reader in place of my rooted Nook Color. I downloaded the required files from
[N2E][1.1] TouchNooter 2.1.31. Stupidly rushing though the install, I made two mistakes.
One, I didn't check to see what version of B&N software was running. Since it was newly opened, I'm suspecting that it was the earliest version.
Two, I inadvertantly left the NST plugged into the laptop when I did the install. When it booted up I get the Read Forever screen, then the scrolling dots, then it flashes a couple of times. When I slide the slider I see
[Q] "Your Nook encountered an error that need to restart
No matter how many restarts I try it shows this error everytime.
I tried both fixes in n2T-Recovery - Nook Simple Touch - Factory Restore / Recovery [v:0.2 17.11.11]. Neither helped. The .2 version indicates that it is doing a factory restore and it takes a bit of time. However, upon reboot, I am stuck in the same situation.
I am currently thinking I should try the initial TouchNooter 2 process and see if it helps.
Does anyone have any suggests? Thanks

I had similar problem. my problem was due to a disorder in "Media" drive.
I've solved this way:
I plug in device to pc and restart nook. after it booted up , nook drive and sdcard appear in My Computer. I format nook drive and restart it again and my problem solved ...

Thanks for the input. I tried the steps you outlined. When I rebooted the Nook showed up as another disk drive. I could see the contents of the drive. When I attempyed to format it, it immediately disappeared and says there is no disk in drive G:
I repeated the process and was able to created a folder in drive G:. I tried to do a chkdsk this time and got the same message as before.
Any other ideas?

did you test this tutorial :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360994
my idea is : first use "sd_128mb_clockwork-rc2.zip" image only.
with CWM ram you can format data and cache and system drives.
after solving error message , you can restore nook and root again...

Sounds reasonable. I'll make the CWM recovery card now. Would anyone else like to comment on this idea? I would hate to make things worse.

Well, I tried this. I booted to CWM.
First, I did a factory reset and rebooted. Still got the error.
Next, I formatted cache and data and rebooted. Same error.
Next, I formatted system. When I rebooted, I was stuck at the Read Forever screen.
I did some more reading at this point and thought I would try
n2T-Recovery - Nook Simple Touch - Factory Restore / Recovery [v:0.2 17.11.11]
I installed and rebooted. The system rebuilt itself and I am successfully running again. Thanks for all the advice and thanks to the developers

[Q] bricked, cant recover on pink screen, not recognising update.app?

Hi guys, getting kinda desperate here, appreciate any advice.
I've been mucking around with my phone trying to install some of the mod roms from here, but always get stuck in an endless reboot sequence or on the 'huawei' screen. Havent been able to get CM10.1 or 7 installed and working.
I have followed the instructions, including the partition size mod....
This is not my current issue, however, just the background.I was at a loss so after giving up last night I tried to copy b162 to my sd card, but was read only for some reason - showed up as CD rom on my PC.
Out of desperation I formatted the sd (in CWM) and tried again, but couldnt even get CWM, only pink or blue screen.
Pink screen I tried copied recover.img to the one available drive on my PC (windows), no luck. It copies over, but will not enter CWM with vol up + power.
Went out and bought a card reader this AM, have tried to install the stock roms B162 and B136.
I can copy the .app files to the SD card (root/dload), but my phone when going to pink screen does not start updating, just stays in pink screen.
Have formatted the card in windows (fat32) checked for errors etc. Does anyone know if the 'allocation file unit' during formatting makes a difference? I have left it as standard at 32kb....
The current rom boots as far as the animated huawei (splashing stars thing) logo then cycles.
Cant get shell access with ADB on pink or blue screen.
Never really used linux but Im willing to try anything to save my phone.
I have some experience with microcontrollers and think there are some jtag pads on the back of the phone that might be useful but am reluctant to try this as I fear I will make things worse....
Many thanks in advance!

To add ? volume label important?
Just managed to get into the stock recovery screen, selected 'apply update from sdcard and got reply 'failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory).
I cant swap out the recovery.img file in the purple screen, I dont have acess to that part of the memory from purple screen, perhaps wrong version of android on previous install?
Was wondering if volume label should be something? I just left it blank, and have tried again as 'sdcard' still no luck.
Thanks again....
OK I did a factory reset from within the stock recovery sftward (couldnt even get this before) and it will now boot heh.
Oh well, thanks for listening! Will have another crack at aurora now =)
