I was trying to install EagleBlood ROM to run Gingerbread on G2x, and followed all instuctions, installing ROM manager, using that to flash to their recovery, then deleting caches, then flashing the ROM. After a reboot, EagleBlood is stuck on a bootloop, displaying an image of and android surrounded by a sparkly blue circle. If I take out the battery and then try to boot into recovery, the recovery image is displayed for a while, but then resets and goes back to rebooting without opening recovery. I am very scared that I may have bricked my brand new phone and do not want to pay for a repair. Any help is very much appreciated.

I would suggest that you NVflash clockworkmod by reading the thread here. Once you do that, you can access your recovery via volume down and power. If you do not have CWM installed via NVflash, for now, you should be able to reset everything by pressing the volume down and power to restore your phone to a factory state.
Thank you very much for that tool! Booted up the recovery and am currently recovering from earlier today on the stock ROM. If this is my last post, it was a success!

Now, when you install a rom through CWM, i would suggest wiping data (if you are switching between roms) and cache. This will prevent you from going into bootloops. I would also suggest after flashing a new rom, going into CWM > Advanced > Fix Permissions. You should now be golden.

Hello! I tried installing a new kernel on my G2X from this thread. I used the CM DL over the DS.

I believe I made the mistake of clearing all cache instead of just the Davlik Cache and am unable to get ROM Manager as I fear I may have wiped it from my phone. Subsequently I am stuck in a boot loop after the LG screen loads and just get a black screen.
I tried flashing my ROM back to Stock ROM from NVFlash and was able to do that successfully. I could not continue with the steps in the thread below past Step 5 as I just get a black screen after the LG logo loads.

Did I permanently brick my phone or is there a way to recover from this? Thanks for any help!
You need to flash cwm 5020 with the nv flasher. Then you can install any rom you want and boot successfully. It sounds like you are not installing a real recovery. Any other questions just PM me or email at [email protected]. You are not bricked.

Lets see if I can go through this whole skimmy with you guys:
I was on MIUI, going to go into recovery to flash another modem because the one it has doesn't work well for me, I see that I have no recovery, for somereason it vanished even after doing the recover fix. I go through the process of fix thats on the MIUI thread, sgs kernal flasher etc, so once I flash that to get red CWM, the phone just stops booting up at all, then after a while I finally managed to get it to boot into red CWM, then I did the process to get it to blue recovery, I've tried flashing my backup rooms, a new install of MIUI, with full wipes, then when I go to reboot I go back into blue CWM.
Since I've not had this phone very long, I have no idea what the hell its doing, i would have assumed I'd flash the rom again and it would boot up like normal.
So am I soft bricked or what?

Seems like you may be soft bricked so no biggie.
Even thou, try to reinstall the MIUI zip if you still have it on the Internal Sd card, you dont loose a thing for trying, and as it seems maybe you have to go back to stock by Odin/heimdall and thats it.
Anyways i would recommend to wipe data/cache and reinstall MIUI before using Odin/heimdall back to stock.
Yeah, I tried to flash the zip again and then it gave me an error about boot files, so I decide to do the odin unbrick. Its going through its processes right now.

Hello, I'm new to the forums and I feel bad I'm already screwing things up :/
Anyway on to the problem... I've had CM9 running on my phone for about two weeks now but I wanted to get rid of the rainbows in CWM and at boot. Today I downloaded Rom Manager from the market place, and when I ran it, it prompted me to install CWM recovery to my SD card, although I already had it installed I thought I'd give it a try. Bad idea, now I can't leave recovery mode, my phone will continually reboot into recovery, I've tried wiping all data and clean installing CM9 again and still nothing. I've even tried the exitrecovery.zip script to no avail
Any suggestions or ideas on how to fix it and boot into my ROM again?
Thanks!!
I would venture to say you might have to reflash...or start over from stock...
i would reload stock....then reload ics or the rom of your choice...
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm, I used Odin and flashed factory stock 2.2.1, now I'm off to getting ICS back.
Thanks again!
Does anyone know why this happens? I've noticed that anytime I open CWM and choose the boot to recovery option is when I get stuck with CWM Recovery looping. I then have to go back to stock and start over again.
I'm not entirely sure why it happens, my guess was that it puts up a bad flag not compatible with ICS that keeps it from booting that, that was why I tired the exitrecovery script, I looked through it and it appeared to me to change a flag for booting. I'm not sure why it happens but I'd say just use the reboot to recovery option that the ROM provides in the shutdown menu, I know that always works.
I was running Cyanogenmod9 on my SGH-I727R when I got into a bootloop. I reflashed stock Rogers Rom and still stuck in a boot loop. Any help please?

Can you please be more specific?
What screen are you exactly getting, the boot logo then a reboot? are you getting a recovery screen or do you bootloop not into the system but into ClockworkMod recovery?
The boot boot logo then restart. same thing with the stock rom it would boot into the Rogers logo then restart
Have you tried formatting through recovery? formatting can be found in mounts and storage.
yup, when I get back home I'll see if I can darkside wipe. see if that will help
That should help a lot. It should definitely work, make sure you install a Custom ROM and not a Stock ROM.
Make sure in future situations you don't install a stock ROM if your current ROM is a custom ROM, this can cause problems and will not fix problems. If you want to revert back to Stock ROMs after installing a Custom ROM I highly recommend you use Fastboot to flash the image. However there are tutorials and instructions on how to use Fastboot efficiently and properly so you don't mess anything up.
Cheers
Thanks again, darkside wipe worked. I have no clue what bricked it in the first place though

No problem Wiping everything would've worked too lol!
Hi all,
not sure why this predicament is happening to me, but currently I can't push any custom rom to my photon Q...
0. I installed a millions of ROMs and know how to do and using TWRP 2.6
1. Yesterday I experienced several File I/O errors during installing Pac-man ROM.
2. after TWRP full format, Installation was okay and it was also bootable, you can set up your phone just like everyday, but you cannot reboot... stuck in the moto logo everytime you reboot, and I had to RSD/FXZ restore :crying:
3. Nothing can bring this phone back with TWRP, Only RSD / FXZ restore can save the situation...
4. a stock ROM of FXZ seems okay and normally reboot, but I went back to #2, but in vain...
Any clue? My phone's flash simply borked?

yes,i have the same problem,i try a lot times.
use cwmrecovery,it will solve all
Try CWM or Open Recovery. Try also installing custom rom from internal storage.
Thanks for the input, but neither CWM nor open recovery helped a lot after each tests, unfortunately exactly the same problem.
Only the first boot was possible with the first custom ROM right after RSD recovery.
This is extremely weird and I don't understand what this situation means.
Stock ROM looks okay since I can restore from the TWRP backup, but no other roms were recoverable from my last backups none the less flesh installation... stuck in the red moto logo, not even in the boot screen...

Try to remove sdcard and see if phone boots normaly without it.
What is "twrp full format"?
Thanks,
suddenly all got back to normal. I simply don't know what happened and what I have missed. maybe I have been too jittery to wait for a boot time ?
If anyone happened to have experienced any of my symptom, just wait for another min to diagnose something !
BTW, when I refer to 'twrp full format', I meant there was a format menu inside TWRP wipe section.
