[Q] All i can do is get to recovery lost everything

[trout14]

I messed up my phone, erased everything on the sd card and at this point can only get into clockwork mod recovery. Try to flash a zip and says it is successful, then ends up back at clockworkmod recovery again. I am lost

Did you select partition SD card? If you did and didn't copy the contents to your PC then you are out of luck. I don't know whether there are tools that can recover from erased SD card. And which ROM you tried to flash? ICS or Gingerbread?

I was trying to flash ICS, and it said it was successful, but the same loop process back to clockwork mod. Messed with stuff I didnt know about and erased the entire sd card. Have been able to successfully flash CM, and in the process of reinstalling apps, then will back it all up again, and try to flash ics again. Wow, thought I was screwed there for while.

any tips for flashing ics, cause obviously i failed.

If you want to flash ICS ROM, you will need HBOOT blackrose and resize the partition. In addition, you will have to reformat your SD card to create a ext4 partition. You can't flash ICS ROM on stock partition. Just do some additional research and you will have Ice Cream Sandwich

Got it to work. Thanks for the help. I was scared for a while there that everything was lost.
I installed medroid. I see that you have medroid and texasice ICS. Can you have 2 roms on a phone?

I have 2 ROMs on my SD card but not 2 ROMs on the phone The Medroid v6.1 that I am using does have Texasice's work included that's why I listed Medroid and Texasice.

Blackrose and ICS are tough to get right without exact preparation. As taodan said, I would study the threads on Blackrose and ICS. I usually read the whole thread unless it has hundreds of pages. And, sometimes I still don't get it. These aren't that extensive yet. I don't know about cwm but amon_ra prompts you before you can do anything asking if you want to proceed. Cwm, when I used it didn't do that. One reason I changed.

If you get to the point where you can try Amon_Ra 2.2.1, I would give it a shot. Has been 100% bullet proof for me.

Also, I personally feel it is important to wipe System also as part of the wipe process.

Enjoy the roms--
