I pulled a dumb one

[Simonkay]

I saw there was a patch for my bugless beat v0.4 and so i downloaded it through rom manager. After downloading it, I didn't click clear data and cache cause i didn't think it was necessary, and now my sdcard is damaged. It won't let me format it, although i can click it. and i can't connect it to the computer, nothing picks it up. Any suggestions? help? did i just brick my phone? oh lawd

 

[Simonkay]

oh and the patch was to update it to bugless beast v0.5

That's not a patch, that's a new ROM. You have to wipe everything 1st. The phone isn't bricked. I'd say wipe the phone, install a backup and then head over to the "Bugless" section and follow the instructions for installing BB 0.5.

but i can't even boot into recovery, nor can i access my sdcard through a usb cable.

 

[xkape]

can you get into the bootloader?

What about if you pull the SD card out and see if you can get into recovery or boot the phone.

 

[Simonkay]

Idk what the bootloader is.
and i should take out the sdcard and then try to go into the recovery? or just boot it up?

 

[Simonkay]

k, i can't get into the recovery without the sd card either.

 

[xkape]

the bootloader is how you rooted the phone... You hold up on the D pad and then hold down the power button. "Up" being up when held horizontally or "to the right" when held vertically.

 

[Simonkay]

heeey! im in the boot loader!

 

[furbearingmammal]

Can you boot normally?

 

[xkape]

well that's a start... definately didn't kill your phone so no worries there...

 

[mwhartman]

heeey! im in the boot loader!

Great! Options

reinstall the backup

or reinstall BB.

Let us know what you decide

 

[furbearingmammal]

Right. As long as you can get in the bootloader you can, as a last resort, SBF your phone back to stock and start over.

 

[Simonkay]

yeah i can boot normally, but the sdcard is the issue. it won't let me format it nor will it let me mount it. it says i need to format it but it won't. and it won't mount at the same time, even when i click mount.

furbearing.. it's been my observance that when installing BB 0.5 and you don't do it correctly, it has some pretty nice consequences.
