so i tried to flash iced glacier and wiped out all the data and cache and what not. but when i tried to turn it on it didnt work. so i went back to recovery and tried to restore to my back up it gets stuck on the startup screen how can i get it back to stock rom or any rom to get the phoen running again? im using clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.5 thanks get back i need help im new to this.
Ok, don't panic, easy fix to this. Clockwork version 3.0.0.5 is only compatible when flashing gingerbread rom's (CM7, RoyalGinger, etc.), not froyo (Iced Glacier, Stock, etc.). So what you are going to need to do is put CM7 since you can only flash a gingerbread rom on your sd card and flash that. Give it a test drive, you might like it. If you still want to go to Iced Glacier, you need to flash clockwork mod 3.0.0.6 which will enable you to flash between froyo and gingerbread freely. This is available in the MT4G android development forum on this site, it is not available through rom manager, but there is a nice little walk through that makes it simple. And like I said, don't panic, your phone is 100% fine.

hey dudes, i have another problem with root. i wanted to flash CM7 to it and i used rom manager to download it and flash, but it is stuck at loading screen with the cute little blue android dude on the skateboard. i cannot go into rocovery because i used the one click to root and it only wants to update the rom thingy. it updates, and i can use the phone, only without CM7. so basically what i want is for the bootloader to stop overwriting my rom and i want to install CM7
OK: edit. i just made it overwrite my system and i ran regular rom. but alas, another problem. i tried to install CM7, and i put this kernal on it and now i am stuck on endless rebooting AHHHHH. ok now i am just updating the pd98 thingy again to get my phone back but it probably will do endless reboot again if i try to flash the kernal again. any ideas?
EDIT AGAIN: ok flashed kernal and rom at same time and stuck at booter again with the cute dude but i dont want to re-flash the pd968 thingy. should I? or should i wait
EDIT: i can go into clockworkmod but not recovery mode
EDIT: fixed it. forgot to factory reset. i am now running CM7 on android 2.3.1
Moved to general as not android development

well give this a shot since you cant go into recovery. put the rom that you know works on the root of your sd card and rename it to pc36img and try to flash it that way. I hope it works.

PC36IMG is for the HTC EVO. The HTC Inspire is a PD98, so that is what the bootloader is going to look for on the SD card.
Lol sorry I was messing with my evo eariler I guess the number got stuck in my head.

ok i am going insane right now cuz i have no idea if my phone is completly done for so im asking for your help.... first i had dl ROM manger and had reboot into recovery, then in recovery i backup my phone, then after all that i flash a zip file and reboot system.....when it turn back on it just went to the mytouch 4g startup and then turn off and back on, over and over... so i try to recover, factory rest, and all that stuff and nothing work all it did was stay stuck on that screen.....so can anyone please help me out..i really appreciate it and please help me!!!!
-thanks
Ok, not a big deal, you are probably just using the wrong recovery for the ROM you flashed. I'm assuming you flashed recovery version 3.0.0.5 in clockworkmod because that is the latest one. When using this recovery you have to flash a 2.3.3 (gingerbread ROM) such as CM7. If you were trying to flash a 2.2 (Froyo ROM) such as Iced Glacier, or the stock ROM, you will get the boot loops. What you can do is flash CM7, which is a great ROM by the way. This will at least let you use your phone. Then you can go to the HTC Glacier forum on XDA, go into the android development section, and flash recovery version 3.0.0.6 which will allow you to flash back and forth between gingerbread and froyo. It is not available through ROM manager since we have one of the very few phones that need different recovery versions to flash back and forth.

ok thank you but how do i dl the froyo rom cuz i cant seem to dl the link, sorry for the noob question im just new to this phone
Ok, like I said, the first step is to get the 3.0.0.6 recovery which is the only way you will be able to download a froyo based ROM. If you want to go back to stock, you should unroot, because stock and root do not get along well on the MT4G. As far as a froyo based ROM, you can flash Iced Glacier or Royal Glacier which are stock based just faster and without all of the T-Mobile bloat apps. But if you are not familiar with ADB and Fastboot, you will need to flash a gingerbread ROM first. You should really be reading in the MT4G/HTC Glacier section of XDA, you will find answers to all of your questions. And like I said, don't panic, your phone is fine, and it is an easy fix.

sorry very new to this but thanks alot, i highly appreciate the help..but i have one more question if i format my sd card will it effect my custom rom and everything, like if i happen to start it back up
I am somewhat new to this, I've been rooted for a while but finally got tired of the stock annoying stuff. I downloaded rom manager and kernel manager. I wanted to see if it worked so I flashed my kernel, it says its installed but it doesn't do a thing and when I do a reboot the menu still notes the original kernel. Wth!!!! And when I tried to do the cm7 rom it gets to the point where it tells me to restart recovery and it freezes on the HTC startup screen. I have to remove the battery to reboot it normally. Why is it doing this??? I have a stock rooted HTC EVO shift 4G. I do not have nand unlocked.

I'm no expert here, but I believe this has something to do with not having a custom recovery. Have a look in the EVO section for threads relating to amon-ra and ClockWorkMod (CWM). Hopefully this will help you around the recovery issue and allow you to flash your kernel.
Good luck!
just a thought mate.... you do know that you need to do a full wipe before installing CM7 & also make sure your using "Clockwork 3*** with CM7" & "not Clockwork 2*** with CM7" or you will get a bootloop!
Hope this helps
Hi, new Android user here.
I was trying to root my Nexus S phone yesterday and I'm having problems. There is a lot of rooting guides out there and I used one from xda and also one from unlockr.com. Managed to root the phone ok (I think), but everytime I flash a custom ROM, the phone won't start at all, it just sits at the boot up screen and repeats itself.
So I'm thinking, I should just start over again. So I flash the stock ROM from xda back to 2.3.1. Everything seems ok, the phone starts up... but it's always stuck on airplane mode and the phone itself doesn't even show stuff like IMEI, mac address anymore.
So now I figure I've probably messed the phone up enough and need help lol. How do I go about reflashing the stock ROM and getting my Nexus back to out of the box condition (Stock ROM and no custom bootloader)?? Any guides or step by step instructions would be very helpful.
Thanks
Did you wipe before flashing roms?

Maybe flashing the KB2 modem would help that but the 9020a came stock with 2.3.3 and not 2.3.1 so that could be it...I'm not sure but that software wasn't meant at all for ours so it could be part of the problem. But if I was you I'd take a look at this thread wich has all the stock software for your phone. Make sure you wipe everything in clockework and then flash the stock rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13123996&postcount=39
dsixda uploaded the stock backup and the stock recovery, you can read more at that link, good luck hope it helps
You can download the full stock ROM from the link below:

Move the zip file to sdcard. Boot into recovery and flash the ROM. It should get you back to stock 2.3.4 ROM, all locked.

that did the trick. thanks everyone, now time to try rooting and flashing ROM again!
hrm lol now trying to update it to 2.3.4, it downloaded the update, but on reboot i get the white triangle with ! in it :\
this phone is so messed now
edit: well now everything is ok again, wiped data, flashed with CM7 and now it says 2.3.4, go figure.
ok i have another inspire and everything rooted fine flashed eva miui awhile back and havnt touched it sense. so yesterday i decided to update it to a working ICS build and i cant seen to get any of them to work. i have tried the recovery included with the ace kit and the 4ext touch recovery and talons recovery. all of them make it to the flashy boot screen and just sits there. i let it sit for almost an hour so obviously i did something wrong. now i cant flash any new rom. luckily i made a nandroid before doing all this so im still able to use eva miui but i cant flash a new rom. what am i doing wrong???
yes i wiped 3 times, factory, data, cache, dalvik
tried flashing rom twice before reboot to test.
switched to the 4ext recovery to convert everything to 4ext but still nothing.
all these roms say they have the kernel included so im guessing i shouldnt have to flash a different kernel
nevermind got the collective ics rom to flash. just not the aospX rom.

Sounds like a bad flash. Mine did that the one time I didn't verify md5 sum.
