I have no idea what went wrong, this morning I tried turning my gtablet on and suddenly it went into a boot loop!! I have no idea what I did with it except turn it on this morning. I kept seeing the same TnT Lite boot animation over and over again. All day I have been trying to get it out of the loop, but nothing has worked, I tried what Roebeet posted in that huge thread on his firmware, didnt work, went to try the droidpirate method and it brought me back to the Stock TnT boot animation, however, its looped there now too! Im running on TnT Lite 3.1.3, and Im really scared, someone please help!!!! :O
If there is anything, any of you can do for me i would be greatly appreciative!!! Thank you
I don't know what method droidpirate suggested but.
Install Clockwork recovery from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
clockwork 0.8 not the one from the market

Boot into clockwork recovery using Power/Vol+
Go to the advance menu in clockwork and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0
If you boot using Power/vol+ and you don't get clockwork recovery then it is not installed. Check your recovery/command file and make sure its there and is pointing to the right sdcard
Thank you so much! All is well, now just to restore all my apps and stuff... but thank you!! It worked exceptionally

I am having the same problem. I have tried formating, and clearing cache, also tried factory restore. Still no luck. Just get flashing TNT screen, and then blank screen. Anything you can offer would be great.
**Update: I used the NVFlash process and that worked.
Hey,
I have had the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy SL-i9003 , Every morning when i wake up i founds the phone gets into boot loop and after removing the battery and starting it again all the data losts.
The solution i have got from Samsung Service Center is that they have changed PBA(Mother Board) of the phone as well as the Sim tray.

Ok I have a massive problem here. Last night I decided to use the 1 click universal root app to root my phone and flash it to get CM.
I downloaded the app did the root, downloaded clockworkmod then did a clockworkmod recovery. After that finished i was given a pre-root option to backup my phone and wipe data/storage.
I only chose back up my phone. My nexus one then rebooted and proceeded to backup my phone then it went to install CM 6 RC2.. After this had finished it then rebooted and went to the multicoloured animation where the colours ceom from the left and right..
Here it would continuously loop and never do anythign else. With this I pulled the battery and loaded into recovery where I was in ClockworkMod. I then proceeded to use the recovery and as it was doing the recovery it just froze and the progress bar nor any words would come up.
From here I pulled the battery again did a soft/hard reset but it would hang on the loading animation again. I then did a wipe data/clean option and now it just hangs on the X logo.
On my sdcard I still have the clockworkmod folder with the backup, nandroid, system and all the other files as well. Vodafone Australia have no stock of the Nexus One at all and won't be getting anymore in since it's a finished product
I barely have any cash for a new phone and need to know asap what to do to fix this problem! If anyone can help!
When you installed Cyanogen CM6 did you install the proper baseband also or you just didn't write it down for us? If you had 2.2 on the phone before you rooted the baseband is ok for CM6.
Did you try hooking your phone with USB and try if ADB interface works? If your computer sees the phone via fastboot?
IF fastboot works, you could always restore your stock recovery and install a stock FRF91. (And then try again with CM6, this time installing the proper baseband AND WIPING like you should when installing CM6!!)
When installing custom ROMs always read the install instructions whole first then install.

I am stuck. I loaded CW recovery and that went fine. I loaded tnt 4.20 fine then noticed it was not responding to the buttons so I went to load a different rom by downloading vegan added the update.zip and recovery folder to root of internal sd then factory data wipe in recovery the loaded update.zip from recovery now it seems no matter what I am in a boot loop. I have tried to go back to tnt..boot loop.. tried bitrix cm7 rom ... bootloop.. i wonder could i even go back to stock since I cant seem to find a stock rom anywhere.

Repartition your sdcard
Moved thread to general.
I just tried flashing a status bar mod, which apparently isn't compatible with my ROM, because I am now stuck in a bootloop. I have multiple backups using ROM manager, so I'm not worried about getting my stuff back. The only problem is, I did a battery pull and booted into recovery. Instead of it booting into clockwork mod recovery, it booted into the original recovery. So now I don't know what to do to restore my backup. Any help???
EDIT: NVM, I figured it out. I was trying to select recovery with trackpad instead of power. Sorry
Hello, I'm new to the forums and I feel bad I'm already screwing things up :/
Anyway on to the problem... I've had CM9 running on my phone for about two weeks now but I wanted to get rid of the rainbows in CWM and at boot. Today I downloaded Rom Manager from the market place, and when I ran it, it prompted me to install CWM recovery to my SD card, although I already had it installed I thought I'd give it a try. Bad idea, now I can't leave recovery mode, my phone will continually reboot into recovery, I've tried wiping all data and clean installing CM9 again and still nothing. I've even tried the exitrecovery.zip script to no avail
Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix it and boot into my ROM again?
Thanks!!
I would venture to say you might have to reflash...or start over from stock...
i would reload stock....then reload ics or the rom of your choice...
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm, I used Odin and flashed factory stock 2.2.1, now I'm off to getting ICS back.
Thanks again!
Does anyone know why this happens? I've noticed that anytime I open CWM and choose the boot to recovery option is when I get stuck with CWM Recovery looping. I then have to go back to stock and start over again.
I'm not entirely sure why it happens, my guess was that it puts up a bad flag not compatible with ICS that keeps it from booting that, that was why I tired the exitrecovery script, I looked through it and it appeared to me to change a flag for booting. I'm not sure why it happens but I'd say just use the reboot to recovery option that the ROM provides in the shutdown menu, I know that always works.
I waited 2 nights to register so I could wade through fixes and tips and have seem to come up with little to nothing. I have CWM flashed on my phone through ROM Manager with the recovery file replaced in the system/bin and the update zip in the root of the SD card.
When I access CWM and click on Wipe Data/Factory reset it breezes through the first few steps pretty quickly and then gives me this error:
E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
It continues past this and then goes on to "formatting sd_card" and then just freezes. I left it on for 30mins and there was absolutely no progress. I've tried battery pulls and re-attempting the wipe with the same result. Have re-flashed CWM, ODIN'ed back to stock, etc etc and still run into the same snag. I'm beyond frustrated because since it never gets past this part I can't install the custom ROM I'm eying and it wipes enough data to have to ODIN every single time and re-root all over again. Just to be clear this error is NOT popping up on bootup but only during Data Wipe/Factory Reset and the only way out of the freeze is to do a battery pull which results in a soft brick.
If it helps any here is what I did prior to ever having run into this problem.
Rooted with SuperOneClick V.2.3.3
Installed ROM Manager
Installed RootBrowser Lite
Downloaded recovery and update zip
Placed both into root of SD card
Used RootBrowser Lite to move recovery file into system/bin
Booted into recovery mode
Attempted to Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Ran into snag on first try and every try thereafter
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong, how to fix it or a workaround?
If possible a very detailed walk through would be appreciated as this is my first ROM flashing. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Did you hit apply update.zip after booting into recovery the first time I don't see that listed in your steps

No, actually, I didn't. I haven't seen a guide point it out or a video that went through this step. Lemme' give this a shot and see if that helps with the problem I'm running into Thanks for the quick response, hoping this is what I was missing!

Unfortunately this didn't seem to fix my problem. Still encountering:
E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmblk0p2
Formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure...
And frozen again -_- It's bad enough that the sidekick sucks as stock (took me this long to finally want to do something about it) and that it's being difficult and resisting change.
Hmmm was your phone stock before you did anything to it? Or did you get the phone used or something?
My advice would be Odin to stock and start over try redownloading the recovery.zip to make sure it wasn't a bad download. And try again go slow and tripple check to make sure your following the instructions word for word. I've messed them up a few times cuz I got cocky but I got everything down from doing it so much and checking my work. The first time I rooted my sk4g I did it with adb not superoneclick and it was my first android phone it took me 2 hours of reading and following steps perfectly.

go back to stock with odin,
Then root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100513
Flash cwm http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124453
And them flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663622 (dont freak out with the first boot with this kernel let it convert the partitions to ext4 and a loud voice will tell you what is going on)
Ive had that problem from flashing recovery from rom manager, and when it comes up i just return to stock. try to save and remove the update.zip from the sd card and see if you can get into recovery again and just flash the kernel(if cwm come up)
