I just installed the latest Das Bamf 2.0 Beta 5 and my Thunderbolt is stuck on the dots screen (background only with notification bar on top, 0 signal bar, battery and wrong time). I cleared everything before I flashed to the rom but I am stuck. What did I do wrong? What can I do to fix this?
Boot into recovery and wipe then reflash the rom or a backup. Don't fret.

I guess that I have overlooked it, probably because I am worried as hell about screwing my phone.
Probably be a dumb question because I should have seen it but, How do I boot into recovery?
Edit: Found it. When I was looking for it earlier I didn't go far enough, needed to go one more page.
Well she lives again. I also tried to flash to 2.0 beta 5 and it did the same thing again. I am not sure what the problem is, but I guess I will just enjoy a rooted TB for a little while and then flash to a ginger rom of some sort.
Did you flash the radio for bamf that is posted in the first thread of bamf?
There is a special radio you need to flash to get gingerbread working.

Will this keep it from even loading the lockscreen?
If so do I flash it before or after the rom?
Edit: I just went to the 2.0 Beta 5 thread and looked, I do believe I flashed the correct radio. I will give it a try again in the morning, it is almost 1 here so I really need to get into the bed, gotta be up at 6 in the morning for work.
Happened to me too. I just reloaded the new GB radio and the flashed the 2.0 rom. All good after that.
Haha... Yeah lack of sleep doesn't help... Give it another shot after you've had a chance to get some rest.
Some people have had issues like yours. You could try re-flashing just the ROM. If all else fails just re-flash everything like eatrice313 did. You'll get it eventually.
If you flashed the radio in the bamf 2 thread then you did the right radio. You flashed it in hboot right? Should have been named P05IMG.zip If you did that then you did it right. Flash rom, then radio.
I used the non-adb method - flash rom, batt pull, then hold power and vol down to boot into hboot then flash the P05IMG file.

After some sleep I carefully downloaded the Alpha Gingerbread radio set and flashed it through hboot and then reflashed the Bamf 2 ROM and got the same result, broken on reboot.
Sorry man... not sure whats going on. Did you try rebooting to recovery and reflashing just the ROM after it boots up and is "broken"?
Somebody with more knowledge might be able to help out, I'm still fairly new to the android scene.

I did attempt that but it didn't work out for me.
The odd thing is that I tried to flash to Gingeritus and I kept getting force until the phone would just shut down. Could these two problems be be related?

I would try REdownloading the latest Bamf Beta 5 and putting it on your sd card...then factory reset everything and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and reflash Bamf. You may have gotten a bad download file.

lolzzz...yeah it happens, let us know and if anything I'll help you troubleshoot your problem.
I'm having the exact problem. Flashed the GB radio, had no service with the froyo rom, flashed BAMF GB Beta 5, boot animation plays and then phone freezes.
I just reflashed the radio and still nothing I'm about to reflash the ROM and see what happens
Did you wipe Data?
I wiped data and cahe and dalvik cache
How long did you let it sit before turning off/pulling battery/throwing at the wall? First boot can take upwards of 5 minutes.
Are you talking about the animation screen or the home screen after that? I let it set a few min at the home screen and nothing happened
Just my .02.... When I and most others made the switch from froyo to gingerbread, it wasn't an exaggeration when we say "wipe, wipe, and wipe again". I wiped everything 3 times... By that I mean factory reset 3 times, wipe dalvik 3, batt stats and all 3 times. Flashed Rom in recovery, batt pull before reboot, volume down + power to get to hboot, flash radio and reboot. I had zero reboots upon startup and haven't had a problem since. Well at least no problems that weren't directly caused by experimenting with some stuff. When the phone does boot the first time, just walk away from it and let it do its thing. The kernel needs to settle. Don't jump in and start trying to set it up too fast. Patience helps a lot in the beginning.

edit: Solved, just flash one .zip at a time. So flash AOSP lockscreen.zip then reboot, go back into CWM and flash the next one. Thanks anoninja118!
Hoping someone can help, I flashed the Sens3 theme on Eclipse(I know it's for GC, I didn't care lol) and it was pretty buggy so I immediately rebooted into CWM and flashed eclipse131/aosp/screencapture/Vrecorderfix and rebooted. When it finally booted up I noticed the lockscreen was still the puzzle, I thought that was weird so I tried taking a screenshot(back+home) and it wouldn't work. I rebooted and reflashed the .zips(excluding eclipse131 this time) then rebooted and again, none of them were active. So I went back into recovery and reflashed Eclipse131 then let it fully reboot so it could convert and ****, then I went back into recovery again and tried flashing the .zips, still nothing. Last thing I tried was clearing cache/dalvik and reflashing but alas, to no prevail.
Any help would be appreciated, I have everything backed up in Titanium so it's no big deal to lose my apps but I don't want to redo my 7 home screens lol.

when I ran eclipse for a while I had kinda the same problem... I found out to get them to work each zip needs its own flash session in CWM i.e. flash AOSP lockscreen or whatever then boot up phone, boot into CWM and flash next .zip and repeat

Appreciate the fast response, testing it out right now. Doubt it will work since the first time I flashed Eclipse I did all the flashes in one go but let's see :]

np lol I've tried out all the roms at least once so I've had most of the problems people post and I try to solve it and pass on the info
My brother got tired of all the bloatware on his G2x with 2.3.3 OTA, so I proceeded to try to flash a custom ROM. Did the process of NVFlash, but with some unexpected results:
1) As I'm lead to believe, I should see an orange "ANDROID" show up when holding volume down and power. But instead I get a green "ANDROID" with a bunch of Android icons like messaging.
2) When it gets past the screen I mentioned, it does go into CWM Recovery but as soon as I let go of a button to navigate, the phone shuts off. Sometimes it stays on if, while still holding down volume and power, I press volume up, release down, then release power. Even then, it sometimes still shuts off.
3) When trying to flash a rooted ROM (CyanogenMod 7.1, after doing a data wipe/factory reset), I get an error message and the installation aborts.
Was able to restore the 2.3.3. OTA because I had backed up, but any ideas?
I am no expert but I would start over from scrach. Rinse and Repeat. it sounds like it did not install right.
Are you sure you flashed the CWM for the G2X? If you flashed the wrong recovery all kinds of problems, such as you described, could occur. Good thing you had the backup.

Would you recommend I reflash CWM straight up, or the stock recovery through NVFlash before trying again? I'd assume I should follow all the same steps as if I was trying to flash CWM, but instead of clicking on CWM, click stock recovery instead.

Positive. I downloaded the necessary files and followed all the steps from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Again I am no expert but that sounds like a good idea i would say you it cant hurt. I think you will have to reflash cwm but you have to do that anyway so I would say it is the best way to start clean.
Got CWM Recovery to work. It still shows the green ANDROID with the icons, but I no longer have to struggle to keep it from shutting off. I was able to flash xboarder's tweaked Gingerbread ROM, but still unable to flash CyanogenMod 7.1. I did a factory/wipe data, wiped cache, and dalvik cache. Still get an error message upon trying to install.
when i first did the nvflash my phone was getting shut off when it got to the recovery and then i let go of the power button. Until i realized that you are supposed to let go of the power/volume button when the word android appears and all those icons u mentioned, yeah i get the same screen. i had no problems flashing 3 builds of cm7 and xboarder's rom 2 times.
Not sure what's going on with the CM 7.1RC but I was able to flash the latest EaglesBlood ROM this mornibg and he's really enjoying it so far. Thanks for all the help!

The green android with the icons is just a different splash screen in the newer version of cwm.

Could've been a bad download. Sometimes you just gotta download the file again and it'll flash no issues.
But I'd go for the latest CM7 nightly. They are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were with RC1.
I figured that might be the problem. Eaglesbood seems to be working really well for him, so I think he'll just stick with that. My bro is more of the "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" type, whereas I'm more inclined to try the latest. I'm tempted to try the nightlies myself on my Glacier, if they really are better than RC1.

I have been rooted for a couple of months now, and I was tired of dealing with the auto-update keep taking control of my phone.
So tonight I decided to instadd das BAMF rom and the MR2 radio... long story short, I could never get the radio to install so through hboot, i selected recovery to recover the stock ROM, I wiped the data and cache prior to recovering, then rebooted.
Now it is stuck at the htc boot screen.
I need help pretty soon guys, if anyone reads this soon, i have to be at work in 5 hours!
Thanks

If you flashed the radio last, it might had wiped the phone, meaning you need ot flash a ROM afterwards, or the phone is bricked, from something you did. I don't know much about the TB, but you should ask in its dedicated sub-forum instead, you'll get much better results there.
thanks, I wish I could but I have less that 10 posts... i dont understand it, i can access h-boot and i can do anything in there like everything is fine, but the phone will not reboot or restart

Then it's not bricked, most call it soft "brick" since it doesn't boot. You should wipe in clockwork, and then flash another ROM.
I have tried to recover my stock rom 4 times, but i just found a stock debloated version of the stock rom, so im going to try and flash it.
I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
I have a Shift that is making me sick
Here is the dilema:
I am able to perm root the phone but I cannot for the life of me get it to take a custom rom. I also cannot get the phone to revert to stock. I have tried RUU, I have tried PG06IMG.ZIP ... I have searched left and right, day and night .. I am ready to chuck this phone at the next person I see walking down the street!!!
I don't know what to do I just want to be able to flash custom roms and if I need to return to stock .. but I can't. All it does is go back to stock rom but it does not wipe any of my data, it stays unlocked and my banner stays the same. I have noticed my PRL keeps changing from what I have flashed, which is fine this one seems to be better.
Also it seems as if my recovery is not wiping dalvic and there is no stock recovery .. which maybe normal. I have tried everything I can think of .. any suggestions besides blind siding an innocent bystander with this hunk of junk!!??
Running 2.2 on 1.17.651.1
I just want to return to stock so I can start all over and try to get this to run customs.. at least. But before you say flash this PG06IMG.ZIP (234mbs) or RUU .. please note that I have tried. Unless yours has magical powers I have flashed it. It won't work.. I have tried factory reset, format all except sd card... I might just try that for the hell of it. Please help
***UPDATE****
I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY SETUP ... IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ARE HAVING TROUBLE LIKE I WAS.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
Make sure you have the latest recovery. I had clockwork 2.0.5 I think was the version, it was not wiping dalvic or something this is what was causing all my hair to fall out.
I downloaded Rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery, the recovery now is updated to version 5.0 or something like that. I can now say it works and saved some poor innocent person from being pegged in the back of the head from a flying shift .. XD

The problem is all newer ROMs use Amend scripting which CWM prior to 3.0 doesn't support.
Hi. I was toolin' along doing real well on CleanRom 4.5 for several days. Starting yesterday, the phone would randomly reboot itself to the HTC screen. I figured I had a bad app or something. Today, I went to open an app (Draw Something) and the phone froze for a bit. Then it rebooted, and now I cant get it booted back up. I usually never make it past the HTC screen. Got into recovery once but it rebooted in the middle of clearing the cache.
Any advice?
Welp, just made it through cache and dalvik and rebooted in the middle of factory reset. I wonder if I'm doing more harm than good.
Got it recovered and wiped fully, but it still keeps rebooting. Starting to feel like a hardware issue.

So when u go into wipe menu in twrp it will show options : cache dalvic cache and external never press external unless u know what you're doing!

Thank you. I wiped everything, including /system and put CleanROm final 5 on it. Everything looked beautiful but I got to the setup screens and rebooted. I'm back in recovery and charging now. Oddly, it has stopped rebooting from recovery. The only other thing I can think of is a bad sim card? Can that make a phone go crazy?

Keep that simmy in there..now what's your battery ....when does it reboot ...when trying to get into aroma installer?
---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------
Worst case scenario you can relock the bootloader and run an RUU. But I think u can get out of this without having to do that
I replaced the SIM. Battery at 90% now, was 44% when I started. Fortunately, it is charging from TWRP.
It reboots all over the place - from fastboot, from recovery, from the boot.img, from the lock screen. I made it all the way to Android setup at one point and it rebooted. It most often just gets to the HTC screen and hangs - it reboots the least from recovery, just once in a great while.

try flashing CM10 instead of a Sense rom. Aroma can cause freezes and reboots on its own. I would also be scared to run the RUU also since your phone freezes randomly. whats was your stock version?
It doesn't sound like you do, but if you installed a custom kernel that is overclocked then it could be that your device can't handle the higher CPU frequency. CleanROM 5 final I don't think has a custom kernel though. It could also be a bad CPU or memory hardware.

I told him to flash a rom that doesn't use aroma. He is getting freezes all the time. TWRP used to freeze up on me all the time after the 2.20 ruu until twrp 2.2.2.0 was released. Phone still has trouble getting into recovery from the bootloader though. He should install CM10 or codefirex without using a custom kernel. Maybe run "fastboot erase cache" in bootloader then wipe cache,dalvik,factory reset,system,external in recovery then flash CM10 or codefirex and gapps. keep it plain until you find issues you can attribute to the rom or to the phone. i have had very few issues with latest builds of jb aosp roms besides some battery stuff.
Well, although I had fully charged it and then powered down, now that I am ready to work on it this AM, it wont start at all. I'm thinking she's gone, captain.
Thank you everyone for the replies.
