I am new to the whole rooting process have done a couple phones before this but have never run into this problem. I used the superboot method suggested in a thread followed the instructions exactly. When I boot my phone back up it stays at the Google screen, if I take out the battery and launch the fastloader and try to go into recovery it takes me to a screen with an android with a exclamation point in a triangle above his head. Trying to figure out what I did wrong and how I can fix it/go back to the stock ROM.
thanks for any help

So I'm trying to flash my Nexus One to Cyanogen 6.0 and I followed the steps very carefully. I dragged the rom and Google addon onto my SDcard, turned off my phone and loaded bootloader (track ball+ power button), waited and selected Bootloader, then Recovery.
A couple of seconds later, my phone was on the original Nexus One logo screen, and then all the sudden there's a caution sign (!) in a yellow triangle with a little green android robot right beside it. I waited it out (5 minutes) and nothing happened, so I took my battery out of my phone to restart it.
After that, I decided to upgrade to Froyo through my phone. I clicked "Install Now", and it said that it will be installed and needed to restart my phone. It rebooted, went to the Nexus One logo, and then the same caution symbol with the little green android logo popped up again and it froze. Once again, I had to take the battery out.
Does anybody know the cause of this?

You soft-bricked your phone. You didn't follow the steps completely right I'm guessing. This is repairable, reflash a stock rom, reroot your N1, then try the steps again.
Thank you for the reply.
Could you re-direct me to a link on the proper way to unroot, and flash a rom? I remember I ran into a problem with Windows 7 not reading my Nexus One which really messed something up during the process.
ok so i get the OTA and hit install now. it reboots and gets to the box with the arrow coming out and loads all the way and then goes to a screen with n android and an exclamation point and is stuck there. so i tried the manual update and got stuck rebooting over and over. long story short i have now wiped phone completely and yet clockwork mod stays there. i can not update and now have a reset phone so i am not very happy. would reverting to stock recovery help? thanks for the tips and help guys
I have a samsung fascinate. Followed the steps posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782204 and everything said it was successful and passed and yet I still can't get my phone to boot to anything but the blue Android system recovery screen. I've tried all the options on the screen and refollowing the steps after each one and still not luck. Am I bricked for good?
Hey guys,
I would like to ask for a bit of help. So...I tried porting ICS to my SGS2 via odin, using the steps provided in a step by step video.
Everything went smooth until the reboot phase. The phone started rebooting, with the yellow triangle and other such but the samsung animation and the OS was not booted. After the screen with the yellow triangle the screen goes black, Do you know what could I do? Please help!
I checked again the video after wich I tried rooting my phone and I skipped after the part where it was mentioned that my device must have ICS in order to accomplish rooting. I was using Gingerbread...is there anything I could do to bring my phone back to life?
Hi there everyone, recently signed up on here as xda seems to be the holy grail when it comes to all thing smartphone.
I'm fairly new to these type of phones and recently was given an infuse 4g that was suffering a power button problem.
The power button problem has been resolved with a new one and the phone was working fine for 3 / 4 weeks.
One day the phone shut down by itself and entered the boot loop syndrome. Factory clearing it hasnt seemed to do anything to resolve the problem as it continued to reboot continuosly.
I came across the thread about gtg ultimate unbrick guide in the developers forum and this seemed like a good way to go, get the phone all the way back to stock and then work from there.
Kies installed and all drivers installed fine. downloaded the gtg unbrick pack and followed the instructions line for line. Odin reports everything passed, took about 2:59 to complete.
phone rebooted and continued to do boot loop so went into recovery as stated and wiped data and cache and rebooted again.
phone is still stuck in some sort of boot loop, but it gets to display the 1st of the setup android phone screens, then just as you get a chance to select next to go onto the next screen, the phone reboots.
Any one have any idea what could be going wrong or as im fairly new to this, is there anything im doing or not doing right that is causing this.
The phone is an at&t infuse.
regards
Trevor
sound like an issue with stuck power button. it's a know issue with this model. google "infuse 4g boot loop" there's few youtube videos you can try.

I've already replaced the power button with a new one, but the technician i use did say he will remove the power button completely to see if it does the same, just to rule that out

just redone the gtg flash and it boots into the os (ver2.2.1) and then within about 5 seconds turns off and reboots
can the new on off switch be faulty......im not so sure as in recovery mode, i can leave it on that screen forever and it doesnt attempt to reboot
Tried the one click repair with hemdial or what its called, updating thisnpost via a moto defy mini so excuse any typos.. The hemdiaOl just seemed to meas it up further. So got baxk into downliad mode with odin and reflashed to gtg brick recovery. Not fixed, still booting but at least the screen is now viewable.
To recover one of these phones, is there like a definitive guide as to what to do to first prepare one of these phones for recovery, ie, first, flash to this with cwm and then clear data, cache, dalcik etc. like an idiots fuide, i feel i may need one
