Hi,

I was using CWM to install CM9 and the next thing I know nothing showed on SD card. I tried to restore and I am getting the above. I did a bacup prior yet it is doing nothing...

If you are using the SD card that came with your phone, you probably need to reformat it properly. See if your computer can read the SD card. If so, copy everything off of it and onto your computer hard drive in a safe place. Then install and run this application: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/ and use it to format the SD card. (Do not use Windows's built-in stuff to format the card, it won't fix it.)

After the format is done, copy everything back to the card, and then back into the phone and try it again.

Well the card has NOTHING on it.... I have no clue and CWM states no files either.

I have this gut feeling I just bricked my phone as even I cannot get it into download mode CMW just keeps coming up nice and BLUE ...



UPDATE : I am able to use CWM it seems I tried adding a ROM to the SD card and reinserting yet Nothing... I have the feeling the system is wiped also... IS there a zip file I can use to restore that anyone knows about... I was searching for the Orginal firmware and can't find anything.

Thanks

Larry
