Help with G1. Gets stuck on boot screen.

I could really use some help.
I don't know too much but I followed tutorials and downgraded my phone to RC29, then got Cyanogens mod and his recovery as well. Then Today I got the CM Updater and tried out some themes. I got the EnochX theme but after trying it out I didn't like it much and wanted to change it but as I tried changing it, I couldn't change it to any other theme because none would work.
Frustrated...I tried wiping the phone thinking that would help me and after that when I restarted after the wipe, I get the G1 screen, then the EnochX boot screen and then it gets frozen in this weird dimmed screen that has very low backlight and I can't do anything.
I CAN go into recovery but I don't know what to do.
Could someone please help me? I really need to use my phone tomorrow and I don't have any spares at home =[ :sigh:

Anyone? =[

If you can go to the recovery, reflash the exact same CM version you want to use. it should restore it back.
IF it works, you should see the CM logo instead of enochx at the bootscreen.

Welcome to forums
Have a deep read here:

Good luck,

I don't think I have the zip file on the sd anymore so when I go to Apply any zip from sd, it doesn't show me anything.
Do I try to apply sdcard:update.zip? Maybe I do have something there but I don't know if this is a smart idea.

do you have the file on your PC? you can push using adb it to /sdcard and it should show.
dont aplle update.zip if you dont know the content of the update.
if you cannot push the file using ADB, try copying using a card reader

Okai so I popped the card into the memory card reader. I totally forgot about that option, thank you!
Now what am I flashing? the CM rom?

No problem .
Yeah, flash the ROM and it should be working fine. too bad you already wiped.
side note : always do a nandroid backup before you apply themes. so you can revert back if you dont like the theme.

I learned my lesson. =/ Thanks I'll backup for sure.
Okai gonna flash now. God I hope this works

No problem. good luck.

Dude I love you. Thank you so much!!
Is there anything I can do for you? Like give you feedback or something like that. I know some forums have it I'm not too sure if this one does.

Awesome. I dont think there is a feedback system here. No need for it too.
Glad I could help. Have fun experimenting after this. Always nandroid

[Q] Help. Coredroid 8.1 Stuck

Ok. First let me say a long time ago when Coredroid 8.1 had kinda first came out. I tried to flash the Unity Kernel I believe. It just stuck my phone at the HTC logo screen. So i said forget it and tried to go back but couldnt. So sumbody helped me to get pdgimg.zip (think thats how u spell it im in a rush) file and told me how to install it so my phone would come back up normally. <--now its slip my mind how too.. So any who.
Well i am having the same problem again except i flashed lordmod 5.6. Now that has stuck my phone as well. So once again i need help to clear this situation by gettin the pdgimg.zip file or answerin a questionable thought i have. Could i actually reflash Cordroid 8.1 over the Same CD 8.1 again and not loose text messages or anything installed up to this point ?

Please search first since there are a lot of threads that will get you that pd98img.zip. I'm pretty sure Ze has a stock thread open that gives you links to the PD98IMG.zip that can be flashed through HBOOT...if not like I said search as there are a lot of threads out there that can get you what you need.
As for stuck, please be more specific so we can better help you out. Can you get into HBOOT? can you get into recovery through HBOOT? do you have pd98img.zip already on your sdcard?

well actually i did research. but its not actually wat i was looking to do in general.
i was specific about how i was stuck and a thought i had to see if it could be done. But i would rather you just say be more detailed. With that said. Im running Coredroid 8.1. I have been having the stuck at the htc logo screen and having to pull the battery when i do decide to restart my phone. (which i been had the problem but it was never fixed) I have seen multiple of kernels to flash to stop the stuck at the htc logo screen. Basically i tried this b4 and it didnt work and i tried it again and it didnt work. I flashed lordmod 5.6 kernel this time by the way. So my question was is this fixable to the point where i actually could flash a kernel and it wouldnt stay stuck at the htc screen *FOREVER* or is there no chance ? But since i didnt wait i ended up reflashing Coredroid 8.1 again so i could get my phone back working thinking i might not loose anything. But i did.
but to answer yo question i can get into recovery.

You can't just flash any kernel.I have a feeling that your trying to flash an aosp kernel on a sense rom, which as you have discovered your not suppose to do. I'm not sure which kernels work with coredroid but I would read up on the thread to see what other people have tried

Any reason why you have not backed up apps and SMS, full wipe, and install fresh? I use Titanium Backup for backing up my apps and system data, and SMS Backup & Restore (free on market) to backup and restore my texts. Use google or HTC Sync or whomever to keep your calendar and contacts backed up.
It's a little bit of a process, but I'm more than certain it would help fix your issue. Seems there's something latent that's causing a hang up that needs to be cleared out. You could troubleshoot that all day long and never get a fix. Just start fresh.

HAHA, I absolutely love how every person gets sooo defensive when someone tries to help them. Stop taking everything so personal. I said research more because it seems you flashed an AOSP kernel to a sense ROM. This is a common mistake for Lordmod kernel flashers and I'm guilty of it myself. I answered everything but the MMS back-up. There is no need for a PD98IMG.zip if you can into recovery, which is exactly why I asked if you could provide more detail because if you can get into recovery, you don't need to go through the HBOOT method of flashing a stock ROM. Did you back-up your ROM before flashing the kernel like recommended, because if you did then you could just restore your back-up from recovery and back-up your MMS.

sorry if u thought that was defensive O_O ? i just responded more directly because u asked. i sort of had a quick question and thought i would get a quick answer. that is all really. But i did not back up my room before the kernel flash because i was actually in the coredroid forum and was seeing ppl sayin wat room to flash to stop the hang at the boot screen. So i thought maybe it would work. But since it didnt my nly question would be which kernel would work at this point so i could ? if possible ? if not then i can deal with it. not problem. mistakes are made and lessons are learned.

Understandable, like I said I've flashed AOSP kernels to Sense ROMs and it's never a great combo. ever, lol. When I used CD 8.1 I was using the Unity Kernel as well, but that was like 3 months ago and since i believe there has been some updates to that kernel. I know I had some good luck with RCMix kernels as well.

So could the Unity Kernel Or RCMix Kernel cure my problem ? Thats the only thing left for me to try i believe. Plus it would be which kernel update is the right one.

Tough to say really, I know I had this problem when I flashing kernels when i first started with AOSP ROMs, what I learned was to not mess with them. I would say try to latest RCMIX kernel and see if that helps. If it doesn't. Full wipe and reflash CD 8.1 and see if the problems persists..It may just be worth it not to flash a kernel haha, I know that's not really a solution but at least your phone won't be hanging on the white screen.

I believe you are thinking of CM9 which is a custom rom that has the ability to download themes, like a pink theme, for it in the Google Play Market. LINK to CM9 there are plenty more roms like this too.
There are also gingerbread roms, that have pre-made themes (I believe ZEUS had a pink one)
Check THIS thread out first, it has all the info you will need to better understand modding your Infuse.
Since you have red Clockworkmod (CWM) you will need to download the "rom" zip file and put it on your phone's internal sdcard.
To use CWM you must power down the phone and hold both VOL keys AND POWER key at the same time. The phone will boot to the "samsung" screen, keep holding until the second samsung screen, then release the keys. (If done right you are now in cwm)
This is where you install the rom.
For further instructions refer to the linked rom thread which has always been my go-to selection for showing beginners how to flash a rom, just scroll down to the install instruction part. LINK
Now if you are going to flash CM9 it will take a double flash in CWM. (Once to get blue CWM and the second flash to get the rom) I know I'm probably speaking spanglish right now, but you just need to read through those links, take your time, and when you are ready, flash away.

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

[Q] LG Motion (Possible Cyanogen mod?)

Hey everyone! I would like to start off by saying that I am brand new here, and am surely going to mess up quiet alot... But here goes,
I've recently rooted my phone with a very simple guide, and it's the first device I've every rooted. So I know very little of the process of doing so, (I'm learning slowly).
I also have found a rom that I would like to install, but I would love to know if others think it seems legit? If it is real, I know many people would absolutely love to use it! The rom's URL is (ht tp:// playfuldroidz.com /wiki/ CyanogenMod_10_Motion) (Please remove spaces, sorry as I said i'm new...)
Now I don't mind testing this myself, but being as new as I am at android I honestly do not know how to follow the relatively simple instructions.
(This Is where I need some help, Please be noob cautious!)
Download the .zip & copy to phone or sdcard (make sure 4g or wifi is enabled if dl'd from phone).
Zip can be installed from either internal or external sd in CWM (Which ever you copied it too!)
MAKE A BACKUP!!!
DO A FACTORY RESET!!! - this will wipe data & cache!
Go to install zip from sdcard
Choose zip from sdcard
Select cm-10-xxxxxxxxxx-UNOFFICIAL-l0.zip
Confirm
Repeat Steps 5 -8 for gapps
Reboot
Now my first question I'd love some help with, is how do I perform this backup there talking about? do they just mean my simple go into settings and click backup? Or should I do it some otherway?
Second question: Do they mean the phones built in service of factory reset?
Third Question: To install a Zip from an SD card do I need to simply use ES file explorer, or root file browser? Or is there a custom way to install a Zip file on android?
Fourth and final Question: What is gapps..? Is this something I should get or use?
EDIT: I've got a fifth one also... Thanks to anyone who's stayed this long and is willing to help me.! Will this Cyanogen mod (If working) Work almost exactly like a real nexus Operating system? I've got a nexus 7 tablet running stock android, and I love it! That's why I'm doing this to my phone honestly.
Thank you all greatly!

Question 1,2 and 3.. they are all done through Clockworkmod. Look through the menus you'll see it if you still struggle look on YouTube.
Question 4.. gapps is Google Apps you need to flash this after the ROM to get the play store and all the other standard Google apps.
Question 5.. in your eyes pretty much, it'll look the same but with more features obviously.

Thank you alot!

I was just wondering if there's a chance this clock work mod thing doesn't work on my phone? I don't really know how, or where it is either... and I'd love some help with that... Thank you!
(Edit) I don't think there is a clockwork mod for my device... According to the Rom Manager app I was told to use for installing it.

If you did what it said in the instructions *root it, cwm, install custom rom* then after installing the custom rom it has it's own cwm. turn off the phone, turn in back home and press the back and home button together at the same time and it should take you to the rom's cwm. If the phone does a factory reset by pressing the back and home button then you did the installation wrong.
But just in case I'll setup a full instruction for you.
Root your phone.
Which can be done easily, just download this and extract the files: http://www.mediafire.com/?dhdbwflnl1vknx2
once you extract the files put your phone on debugging mode which can be done by going to settings, developer mode, and click usb debug.
once you've done that connect your phone to the pc *make sure it's on charge only* wait for driver installation to finish. once that's done click root. follow instructions on the screen it shouldn't be too hard! after following instructions you should be rooted and have cwm. but to install the recovery go to your apps and find lte 2nd init recovery and then click the top button, agree to super su to use it and you're done with rooting and cwm! now. these files you were talking about, download them and put them on sd which can be done with a file manager. after they've downloaded go to the lte 2nd init and click the bottom button. it will reboot the phone and take you to cwm. While you are in cwm click on the home button to go to external which is the sd, then go to backup and restore, and click backup! this is very important. miss this step and things could go bad. Now all you have to do is follow the instructions you posted yourself and you should be done! if you need any help don't hesitate to message me. I've done this for a long time now.
Whoops forgot to add. the website IS a reliable source. Learned that cause I'm a risk taker and decided to try it out myself. and do not use rom manager or anything like that for recovery. ever. especially on phones that do not have their own recovery mode. also. the CM10 works great in my opinion! But there's a catch. for me at least. even though everything is perfect during phone calls I cannot use my 4g. which is a bad thing for me cause I need it. other than that if that doesn't bother you or anything or don't have service then knock yourself out and install the cm10!

COMPLETED) This mod worked, all things are now finished except one small issue!
So after installing the mod with some great help of someone here on this forums, I've been basically beta testing the mod for a few days. I have nearly no complaints, as almost everything works seemlessly just like you'd except the operating system to. In the end I found one single issue though, which is terribly annoying for me in specific...
My GPS isn't working, which could be one of many things other than the rom. Seeing as I only recognized It yesterday, there may be an outside reason it at random shut off. If anyone know's what can cause this, and a fix for it please comment back!
Thanks to everyone who helped with installing the mod

Please help me with the rom
Hey guys not sure if i am suppose to post this here but i couldnt find any where else and i couldnt find an answer with my exact problem, i installed this rom on my moms lg motion and everything went find untill i got to gapps it came up with an error inside of cwm so i just contined all the other flashes i had to do and rebooted i thought that i could just flash gapps later. But i mad a very big booboo i installed the Recovery APK for it in cm 10 i forgot all about pressing reboot and saying reboot into revocovery so i was going to try it though the Recovery APK so i installed the thing and pressed reboot and instead of taking me into recovery it takes me to a screen that says something like "mourning call error" which i dont know what means but i had to take out the battery and turn the phone back on so that worked and i got back to the home screen but i still cant install gapps so she can use all the google sevices i tried rebooting with the built in reboot into recovery (the one that you press reboot when you hold the power button) and that does the same exact thing i have no way of flashing gapps or anything else for that matter can someone please help me i have no idea what to do. everything i working on the phone but that. thank you sorry if i put this in the wrong place.

Confused my droid using this method- would love in on this thread
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place-punch me if I have-
I rooted my lgms770 with version f firmware- installed cwm and 2ndinit recovery (2nd init was the only known way (to me anyway) to get into cwm at the time) followed this guide ---
[LgMotion All Things root] and
[GUIDE] Unbrick OR Unroot LG Motion 4G [KDZ] - Android Forums
I am not allowed to post urls yet...sorry...its the the first google hit
I've tried multiple versions of the official LG Firmware flash, from the website, and by following this guide-
AOKP Dirty Unicorns baseless port cm10 - Android Forums Actually, its the unicorns that got me.
With no luck there. I am running Mint16, and had to run the programs through Wine of course, then tried Q4wine, and eventually tried running though Oracle VM, and finally, I wiped my ancient dell of Linux altogether and put WinXP back on it (took 2 hours, that). No cigar. And yes, I did the drivers, all in order, etc, tried again, reinstalled etc
I finally set up adb to try to get into this droid that way, but am having problems with port permissions (I'm going to guess that's on my pc's end-running Mint16)
I can access the factory reset screen (the black and white), download mode, and the battery charges on a black screen with a nice purple font, but I am still stuck in a bootloop. I've employed all known button spamming combos to get back into cwm (there is a nandroid in there somewhere)..but alas...
Help me Obi-Wan-Kenobi's..
Peach

I had the purple letters with no way to get to the factory reset screen i just used the lg online flash tool in upgrade recovery put in the imei of the phone in made sure the phone was in usb download mode then it was fixed but for some odd reason i still cant get my phone to the factory reset option. I apologize sincerely if I wasn't detailed enough if you need any clarification on it then let me know through pm or i could even send u a link to my box folder i keep the install files in.
(Also i have a one click root app for the LGMS770 So if you or anyone would like the link i would be happy to give it to you)
