ok. I have a Droid 2 running Android 2.2, and i rooted it manually last night. Took a while to get it working, but i got it. And now i bought the premium version of Rom Manager to make good use of my rooted phone. i ran into two problems, and only solved one.
Rom Manager wouldn't reboot in recovery mode at ALL, but i finally figured out that all i had to do was manually give it permissions with superuser.
But now that it actually reboots, it doesn't go into recovery mode. it just restarts the phone. what am i missing?
phone rooted ?
yea. i used this guide
mydigitallife.info/2010/09/30/how-to-root-motorola-droid-2-droid2/
My phone is definitely rooted. But Rom Manager refuses to reboot into recovery mode. the phone just restarts normally.

So, I rooted last night using Pete's Motorola Root Tools. Worked perfectly, I had root, and was enjoying drocap2 and a few other root apps.
Well, I downloaded Rom Manager (already had Premium) and downloaded Cyanogen Mod 7.1, the only stable release listed for my phone. I downloaded it, and went to install it, and that's when it got stuck at the Motorola logo screen.
I backed up everything - so that shouldn't be a problem. But the phone won't turn on at all. No matter how long I hold down the power button. If I charge the phone the Motorola logo comes on, but it stays on even when I unplug the phone, and then I have to pull the battery.
Any ideas on what I can do?
simply use the available sbf to recover back to working state.
do not use rom manager, it is not fully compatible with d2g. read in the forums how to get CM working on your phone, not all of it works though..

If you haven't SBFed, look at my thread and do steps 9-11 first and see if it fixes the problem.

(Well, this is embarrassing.)
(yes, I read older threads before making this.)
I recently rooted my admire; I decided to install rom manager and Busybox, however, when rom manager was installed (I figured that I could get flashed roms) When I begun to install CWM recovery 7.0.3 from rom manager, i chose "other". It installed, and it told me to reboot. So, i turned it off and was going to turn it back on. Nothing. Recovery mode, Download mode. Nothing. Phone stays off, never turns back on, as if it was dead. I'm not sure if it did enter DL mode, because I heard that it would still be in download mode, even if the screen was off. My battery still charges(?) when i plug it in. (The battery heats up, no charging screen, or boot.) Any fix?
To recap; Samsung admire. Rooted recently. Root manager installed. Cwm recovery 7.0.3 downloaded. Installed. Tried to reboot. Hard brick.

dude i did the same exact thing except when i tried to upload a rom from my sd card,cwm rebooted my admire and it never cut bak on, im been up all nigh
t tryin to unbrick still havent got it to unbrick,but it still charge so dats a plus.
I searched everywhere on this forum and found somewhat similar problems but none as d\ifficult as mine. I have a Tmobile htc mytouch 4g slide and I attempted to root it tonight when I got kinda stuck. I was using MyTouch_4G_Slide_All-In-One_Kit_V1.0 by Hasoon 2000. I got CWM v 5.2.0.7 installed and attempted to install cyanogenmod from my sd card while in recovery mode. It installed successfully but when i restarted it got stuck on the boot up screen (I guess its also called the splashscreen). In order to get back to recovery mode i had to pull the battery. I tried formatting from the CWM menu in recovery and then re installed cyanogen but the same thing happened again. Then one of my family members came in and clicked on the install stock recovery button to see if that would help. So now I have stock recovery installed but also installed the not working cyanopgenmod. Now I cant get my computer to recognize my device to re install CWM. This is my first time rooting a device and I have no experience with development so please be patient with me. My computer recognizes it when i first enter recovery mode but then it says it was unplugged and my phone shows a picture of a phone with a red triangle and exclamation point. I am worried there is nothing i can do since doing a factory reset just results in a frozen splashscreen and my computer wont recognize it and i cant get in to recovery mode to install a different rom. Any help would be much appreciated
Hi there guys! im new here.
I have bricked my android tablet phone which is Mercury running on android 4.2.2 , model number T70611, MTK---8312 . When I turn it on, It will just stuck on logo screen, I've already tried resetting (using power on + volume up) but it will just stuck on the fastboot screen too.
I rooted it using Ministro ll, superSU and poot rooting tools, it was successfully rooted but I wasnt satisfied so I want to start all over again and root so I decided to restore factory reset. I have manually restored other apps using titanium back up. During the restore, it hung so I rebooted it and continue restoring the files, on the second time it hung again so I rebooted it again but this time, It was stuck on booting until now. If i plug the charger it works fine. Can anybody tell me if there is any chance to unbrick my tablet phone ?
Any reply would be great.

So here's what I've done after I got the phone:
1. Tried to install CWM recovery. Apparenty it was not for my model. The phone booted up and worked properly, but I couldn't access Recovery.
2. I tried to roo the phone with Kingo ROOT, it failed. Tried to root it with another popular rooting software and it was good. Rooted.
3. I tried to extract bml5.img to try to unlock the phone but there was no such file so I gave it back my friend.
4. My friend tried to do a factory reset (which I think was supposed to by done by the Recovery that couldn't be accessed...) and the phone got bricked.
5. After he gave it back to me I tried to enter Download mode but the phone always shut down so I charged it for a bit.
6 And here comes the real problem. Now that it's charged, I start the device. After 3 seconds it started emmitting a somewhat quiet, very high pitched noise, and the screen keeps blinking. It can boot in Download mode but I'm too scared to leave it go on.
Now, I'm planning to leave the phone overnight with the battery taken out. And give it a go tomorrow.
Any advice? Has this ever happened to anybody else?
