Root moved apps to sd card titanium will not boot

Okay, for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to move all of my user apps to the sd card via Titanium. Went I exited Titanium a bunch of my icons and widgets were gone. I figured rebooting would take of the things, damn was I wrong. Now the phone will go through the boot animation and then gets stuck on the Verizon Wireless screen with the moving bar at the bottom.
What do I do? How can I unscrew whatever I screwed up? I am running M080, rooted of course. The device is supercharged and all that. Pretty much whatever you guys came with for this phone, I did. Please help me get my phone back, as life without it is just not the same.....
 
I really need some help, fellas. I just tried hooking the phone to the computer via USB, and nothing happens. How about putting the SD in the computer and working with it in there?? Would that help?? This really sucks!!
 
Do you have GNM's custom recovery installed?

If yes, using adb reboot into recovery using the adb wait-for-device reboot recovery command during the boot loop. Once in recovery restore the nandroid you should have made before you started messing with the phone's file structure. If you don't have one ask around for someone to send you their's.

If not, I don't think there will be much you can do to fix it. The phone does not have a working recovery (at least one us mear mortals can use) and once it's bricked there is not much you can do.

Are you the original owner?

If yes, then it is still under warranty. Be vague, answer direct questions with things like "What does that mean" and "I don't know, it was like this when I woke up this morning", and other similar answers. Never tell how you rooted it, or were using titanium backup, or anything else like that.

The down side is the replacement you get will be running the dreaded M100 build that right now means no root.

If that is not an option, and you like the phone, there are bunches of them on eBay. Craigslist can be a source for these too.

Sorry for your luck, but I have been there and done that and paid for it.
 
Pretty sure I do, but the phone will only go as far as the Initiallizing.... Please Wait... screen. How do I get to where I need to be from there?
 
For some reason the commando drivers are not showing up or opening on my computer. I am using Ubuntu 11.10.
 
You don't need drivers on linux.

When you boot up your phone type in adb wait-for-device. When you get your next prompt, type in adb reboot recovery (it should be on the boot screen still) and if you have gnm's recovery installed, it'll reboot to that.

PS. Got both your pm's, responded here :p

Okay, apparently I need someones recovery program. I must not have done the download right. How do I do a factory recovery/ reset from the computer via USB?

If you don't have recovery installed already, you're s.o.l.

I did that when I first rooted, but I never tested it to make sure it loaded correctly. That was when I had first gotten into this android stuff. What would happen if I sent this phone back for a warranty replacement? It will not boot into anything, so how would they know if it had been tampered with? Just curious....
 
I have warrantied a couple of these that I have bricked without any issues with VZW. Just remember anything you get from them will be running the M100 build and won't be rootable using current available methods.
 
Yeah, that will such to lose root, but I have learned that if you have even a stock phone set up right, they can still be a nice device. Thankfully you don't need root to use Go launcher and Go locker.
 
Something else I just thought of, I batched all user apps to the sd card, so superuser, titanium, setcpu, and all the other apps that go hand in hand with rooting are no longer on the device, right?
 
You don't have adb installed....this is fixable. Install adb and make sure its working before you try the codes pax gave you
 
Okay, strike that last one. I found the ADB guide on here. Which one do I NEED?? I just tried the mini sdk,and it is not working. HELP ME!!! please.......
 
1) Download sdk from here: Android SDK | Android Developers
2) unzip & open up terminal, cd to tools/ & type in "./android update sdk --no-ui"
update: 2.5) you might have to "click through" (press enter several times) motodev & htcdev... ignore it, you don't need motodev & htcdev apis.
3) wait for it to finish download
4) cd to ../platform-tools
5) turn on your phone, type in "adb wait-for-device"
6) when you get your next prompt type in "adb reboot recovery"
7) IF you have GNM's recovery installed, you can save your phone.
 
Hey Pax, I am not sure what you mean when you are telling me cd to tools. Can you please explain that? Thanks.

In terminal (command prompt in windows) cd is change directory. For example, if you open up terminal, it will default to /home/<yuh (your username here)>/ so if you download the sdk to /home/<yuh>/Downloads/ & extract it, then you'll need to "cd Downloads/<extracted files folder>/tools/"

oh my, oh my..... i just saw this.

"I am not sure what you mean when you are telling me cd to tools."

this made me lol. like not in txt speak, but in real life. back in my day, we had to open up windows from DOS lol. they didn't even make computer games for windows. you'd have to exit windows, then from DOS

cd..
dir/w
cd \games\doom
doom
 
Glad you got a good chuckle out of that. I must not have had the recovery. I have went through this a dozen times, but have finally resigned to sending it out and hoping Casio does not look too close at it.

I have the replacement already set up nearly identical to the old one. Just no root....
