[Q] Possible brick?

[bbitz]

I installed punk.kaos V4 kernel and my phone went through the process just fine and then when it booted back up it went to the lockscreen but i am unable to unlock the phone. It just doesn't register my touch. I can turn the screen on with the power button, but not off again. Help!

I am no expert but did you flash his rom too or just the kernel?

If so you can flash your old kernel as long as it was voodoo.

Don't worry you didn't brick it. I have done much worse.

Just the kernel. I am pretty new at this and definitely haven't messed around with voodoo up until this point because i haven't felt the need. I'm on DJ05 with SuperClean 0.9 and was on stupidfast 1.54 kernel (non-voodoo) up until i just attempted to install kaos' kernel.

If it were me i would put another voodoo kernel on your sd card and flash it in recovery. I like otb, blazed, or jt's. Just download the one you want and flash through recovery.

Out of curiosity. When your phone was booting did the voice come on and talk about converting your phone?

I have not used kaos' kernel yet but since its voodoo i assume you would hear the voice.

The woman's voice was talking away through the whole install.

I did a battery pull and booted into clockwork and tried to restore a backup, but i guess that didn't restore my non-voodoo kernel. Bummer. Still no touch response.

I will try your suggestion. FYI: When i boot into clockwork, i get this message: "E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)"
#MANUAL MODE#
Then it repeats the can't mount stuff again twice. I have to apply update.zip to get into clockwork.

Can i mount my sdcard from clockwork?

So are you trying to get into cwm by holding volume up and down then hitting power?

If so what color was it?

Yeah i am doing the volume up/down and power to get into clockwork. And normally that would work fine and i would be straight into clockwork. But this time it's coming up with that error message that i described above.

I am in green clockwork now only because i applied update.zip from the blue recovery menu. So somewhere in there an error is occurring.

 

[Mean Sixteen]

The error your getting is above my pay grade.

I think you can mount from cwm through one of the options that eludes me right now. Worst case you could always put your card in your computer and paste it on your card that way and use cwm to flash the kernel.

Well hey thank you very much for responding. I'm glad i can at least move about in recovery. That makes me feel like all is not lost. Thanks again.

 

[Mean Sixteen]

Just checked. Its in mounts and storage.

I havemt used it but it looks like mount usb might do it.

All is definitely not lost. I may not be the most help but others on here can get you through almost anything you do.

Believe me i have gotten a lot of help on here.

Hopefully i can get you fixed up though.

So i have tried the "mount USB storage" option in cwm, but i can't see the drive on the computer (a Mac, in case it matters).

Also, back in the mounts and storage menu, i am unable to unmount /sdcard (fourth option) and i am unable to mount /sd-ext (fifth option). All of the others (/system, /data, and /cache) i am able to mount and unmount. I have all three mounted at the moment.

 

[Mean Sixteen]

I do not want to give you bad advice and keep in mind i am just a geek who loves to flash stuff on my phone but i would pull the battery, pull the sd card, then paste a kernel on it from my computers sd slot. Then put it back in the phone, enter cwm and flash it.

Just make sure its a voodoo kernel.

That is a good idea except i don't have an SD card converter thing to put my micro sd one in my computer.

 

[Mean Sixteen]

Let me try something with mine.

You didnt brick it. It might take you a while but check thru the forums. Chances are someones already done it. Ive done much worse then that and got thru it

Using dl09 with stupid fast, blackish storm, and every mod I like.

 

[Mean Sixteen]

Ok. When i mount usb mass storage it shows on my computer. When you did that did you back out of it or did you leave it there? It says if you return it unmounts.

[bbitz]

I leave it in the menu that says, "USB Mass Storage device. Leaving this menu unmount your SD card from your PC"

So my computer should in theory be able to see it, but it cant.

 

[Mean Sixteen]

I am not sure what to do right now.

If i knew adb commands i would tell to how to use that to get the new kernel on there.

You could google how to use adb and you should be able to push the file to the card so you can flash it.

Or read through these forums as mentioned above. That's how i get myself outta trouble.

Lots of info here. You just have to read it.

Good luck. And you will get your phone working just fine.

Oh! Good idea. I didn't even think about ADB. Yeah i'll give that a shot. Again, thank you very much for your time and help. Very much appreciated.
