You are not bricked. Download another rom like the stock rooted. Go into the bootloader and click on recovery. Then wipe the card partition, data factory reset, and wipe dalvik. Then flash the new rom from your sd card. You should be ok.

to get to the bootloader turn off your phone by pulling the battery. Hold the vol button down and press the power button.

Many thanks. I was able to get into the bootloader and flash the stock rooted from the 1 click root.
I was only concerned because it wouldn't go to the bootloader at first. I'm sure it was operator error.

Good to hear. I thought I bricked my self many times. lol

Now I can't download from the market though. Any ideas on that? Hoping it is just a market issue.

turn off your wifi. Open with att network. Then you can turn your wifi back on and it will work.

has anyone actually bricked their inspire yet though?

My wifi isn't on. Couldn't connect to anything at the moment even if it was. My data works fine for everything else just not downloading from the market. I can search it just fine though.
I tried clearing cache and data. I even rebooted and nothing has worked.

I just tried over my bosses mobile hotspot and still couldn't download.

Actually I thought it was almost impossible to brick android?

Can brick Captivate. Just check their forum. Fortunate that I personally never needed my jig. Have one though, just in case
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

So the same thing happened again. I flashed CM7 and it is just stuck showing the boot animation and won't go past it. I really have no idea what happened.
I tried the same thing I did yesterday but it isn't working at all. Can someone please help me out?
Thanks

UNTESTED Rooted Stock myTouch 4G/Glacier ROM

UPDATE 3: OK, I am stumped. I have done everything I know to do and the recovery refuses to find the boot.img. Anyone got any suggestions???
UPDATE 2:
Still having problems. This time got failure at line 105. For some reason it couldn't find the boot image. I'll try again tomorrow...
UPDATE:
Just got home, got ClockworkMod, and tried flashing this ROM. Got a Failure at line 16. Then installation aborted. I will try to get this fixed and try it again. When it's working I will post a link. I should have this thing working sometime tonight. Hopefully, this will help out those who don't know how to or aren't comfortable removing stuff from the system file themselves. Once I get this working I will start working on ways to make it better.

i will try a recovery will be pisted soon
Clockwork should be out later today
Clockwork is actually out, now.
what phone are you choosing through clockwork? i dont have an option through ROM manager for the mytouch 4g or the glacier

Not true, i'm at work and it appeared on mine. I upgraded ROMManager about 3 hours ago just because I saw it. As soon as they said clockwork was available, i opened it up and went to flash recovery and the only option that popped up was the MT4G option. I'm on it now, just don't have any ROMs to install. I've run a backup already, i'm good to go.
***BTW, we don't have wifi available here and i'm on spotty 3G coverage in this area. I'm averaging about 500kbps dl speeds. it's horrible***
some people it works over the network but majority of people need wifi, including myself
I had to do it with WiFi and MT4G is there.

Screwed up rooting on HTC One X, now stuck

I was trying to root my htc one x through this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424 and after it says it failed it wont load now, the screen just stays there without loading anything. Im scared ****less right now, anyone got any idea what to do??
I was sure my HTC's firmware version was 1.85, since the root said it only worked with 1.85 firmware.The first time the root failed then i set the date 2 days later like the guide said. and tried it again and it failed again only this time after it rebooted it was stuck saying "loading" on a black page without showing the actual tabs, it would sometimes show wallpaper but nothing else. I can use the notification bar/toggle but Its very slow, i can also connect it throught the pc like normal in disk drive, charger, etc. Also, i've tried to open the settings app from the notification bar but it auto crashes, even thought avast antivirus is shown running in the toggle and i can open other apps throught the antivirus, like facebook.. It also said it was in safe mode before, in case that info helps in anyways.
Edit: As area51avenger pointed out, the second paragraph was a bit of a mess so i edited it to make it a clearer, sorry about the crappy writing but im kind of panicking here.
I read your second paragraph about 5 times and I'm not sure what you mean

First boot into the recovery mode. If you don't know what recovery mode is, you better make a search.
Once you're in the recovery mode, do a factory reset. Make sure you don't have anything important on the phone.
I hope it helps.

Phone won't boot up

Was running RootBox, s-off, etc, and everything was working. Suddenly phone froze and rebooted. But ever since it won't get past the htc startup screen. It just keeps rebooting from there. I've RUU'd back to stock but it still does the same thing. I flashed a recovery and rebooted to recovery from fastboot but it won't get to it. Any ideas?
EDIT: after RUU back to stock, bootloader still will say s-off, not sure if it changed that in the past

Help plz! Not getting 4g anymore

Tried getting help. I recently tried a fresh install of cm13. When it booted up it searched for a network. Went to network settings and let it look for a network. Found sprint and said it was trying to connect or register. Now I'm only getting schity 3g data sometime. No 4g. Almost seems like its not using the sim card. Tried booting up without it and it was still working?
Edit: using the g900p for sprint

it was the 6-27-16 nightly build. had a few little issues and tried a clean install. when it booted, it couldnt find a provider i guess so i went to settings-cell networks and tried to search. it found sprint, under network operators, tried to connect and couldnt. just sat forever saying registering. also its working the same with or without a sim card. i thought it should be using the sim card for the 4g?

If you're that desperate go back to a stock rom. Your sprint network will work. Then when you have time play with other roms.

Use Odin to go back to complete stock. That should fix this issue. If you should then wish to do so take the OTA to MM. After you do that make a backup in TWRP that way if you screw up you can restore a full backup in minutes. I have trouble getting everything to work on the other custom roms as well. That's why you keep a good copy of a backup to restore in twrp just in case. Anway, get odin and flash the stock 0K4 tar through that, it will fix you.

Okay so you tried to Odin flash that OK4 tar? That should have worked. Do you have the 4g lte sim card? I bought my s5 used and it wouldn't connect to lte until I got my sim in the mail. Otherwise I have no clue. Did you follow those instructions exactly and make sure you wiped your phone completely before taking the tar file?

Hmm. Beyond trying to download the tar again I have no ideas. If it's pretty new maybe take it in?
Its not new anymore. Had it for like a year and a half. They won't touch my phone with custom stuff though....

What did you do to resolve this??
was it connecting to LTE before? if not then you might be best served getting a new sim from sprint, but if it was working before then id get a fresh tar.md5 and flash it in Odin. Here is the place ive been getting my tarballs from as of late. The server seems to be pretty fast and i can attest to the tar.md5s working quite well.
