Possible Brick! Please Help!

[MolonLabe]

I attempted the "Higher Quality Video Recording" guide at rootyourdroid.info.
Looking at the guide might help to give you more information.

I got an error while pushing the edited file (build.prop) back onto the Droid.
This is the line I entered..."busybox cp -R build.prop /system"
The error I received..."cp: cannot stat ‘build.prop’: No such file or directory"


I can access the boot menu. Here’s what it says...

In blue at the top:
Android system recovery
Use d-pad to highlight: center to select.
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

In yellow at the bottom:
E:Can’t open /cache/recovery/command


Any Ideas?
...And no, I don't have SPRecovery with Nandroid.

I would chose sdcard:update.zip. That will install, or reinstall 2.0.1 for you. This is what I got when I first rooted.

You probably will lose your apps, but it's no biggie, you can get them all back later.

[MolonLabe]

Tried it, but it didn't work.

**** man. I'm pretty certain you will need ADB shell on your PC and have to try and flash over SPRecovery and load up a custom ROM from someone else...I assume youre rooted?

just go grab the back to stock update.zip and apply it, should be back to normal, if that doesn't work then just do a factory reset. It will re-write the OS back to stock. If you can get into the recovery menu your phone is def not "bricked"

[MolonLabe]

I bring up ADB, but it doesn't read my droid, I'm guessing because I can't mount it or enable debugging.
Installing update.zip was successful, but i still can't boot the phone.
I am rooted.
Just entitled the thread "Possible Brick" because I wasn't sure.

While you are not bricked, your gonna have to get creative if you do not have a proper update.zip on the phone. Without sprecovery, you are probably not gonna be able to use adb. You can try, but my guess is your pc is not gonna see the phone or sdcard.

As Gentle pointed out, you are gonna need the correct update.zip. The factory one will likley not install. The one from back to root should work.

You may have to attempt to get the file on the sd card with an sdcard reader on your pc, if adb is no go. Pop your card out, and insert into your reader. Make sure there are no other update.zip files on the card root, and copy the one from the return to root thread. Put the card back in the phone, and give the update a try.

That was the modified update.zip, though.
I don't know how to get the stock one on without ADB.

[gentlefury]

well if you have to option to load update.zip you should also have the option to factory reset.

"Pop your card out, and insert into your reader. Make sure there are no other update.zip files on the card root, and copy the one from the return to root thread. Put the card back in the phone, and give the update a try."

I will try this.

Thanks so much for the help so far, guys!
